you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

#sorry i got really into my feelings about mark hoffman again #the very specific version of him in my brain that i really really wish i had the time and energy to properly share with you guys #saw #well until i muster the energy to explode all of my feelings out into a fic. if you want to TRY and understand #know that my three biggest hoffman fic insps right now are as follows #your best kept secret hoffman. a series of mistakes hoffman. and rushed like a dreadful wind hoffman.#there is a very clear throughline just know i am extremely emotionally compromised rn #thinking about theee fics vs the canon path hoffman spirals down #something something the absolute tragedy of watching a man's descent into madness #the transformation of a man into a monster #and what could have saved him from himself and kramer's corruption #sorry i'm rambling so much oh my god i was just having such a crying fit out of nowhere about this #do you think he could feel it happening. do you think he was aware he was losing his mind.#the script version of him fucks with me so bad. the crazed rankings and the longer hair and him not being well kept anymore #it's impossible to think he didn't know he was deteriorating #fuuuck okay i need to either chill or write a whole longfic rn #i project on that guy so much i truly don't know if i could properly write my vision of him #until i do something more substantial the full extent of my hoffman exists for me and my boyfriend only. they get me like no one else #well ginny and jenna also get me. please read best kept secret and a series of mistakes Oh My God #where am i going with this. i like tag rambling actually this is a nice way to do it without forcing EVERYONE to read my delirium #anyways if you've read all of this i think i love you? feel free to dm me about hoffman and my very specific headcanons and aus #maybe soon i'll try and start writing my fics about this tragic man #i could never say any of this on twitter btw they'd string me up for my opinions on him as a sad wet beast who could have been fixed #if only he hadn't been weaponized first #god i'm too tired to even be as embarrassed about this as i should be. thought i unlearned cringe already #but i've been spending way too much time on twitter and they HAAATE hoffman there #rip. i know it's not that serious but i'm sensitive rn and hate feeling lonely in my thoughts #ok bye for real otherwise i'll never shut up. i might tag ramble more often bc this was therapeutic in a way i needed badly #cat chat

okay there's just SO many video essays about "the death of media literacy". how dead can it be when all of you are so good at it. has media literacy gotten provably worse or do we just have the internet now. when was the golden age of media literacy

#DON'T GET ME WRONG MANY PEOPLE ARE BAD AT IT........#just the other day someone wrote the saddest most shallowest read of berserk in the tags of MY post and my eyelid twitched so bad #(IT'S A STORY ABOUT HEALING AND CHOOSING LIFE. IT'S NOT ABOUT ACHIEVING REVENGE AND DYING RIGHT AFTER??)#and we should absolutely strive to improve the culture of media literacy and reading comprehension #but there's always going to be people with bad takes and now we're simply more exposed to them than before #maybe im wrong!! maybe there's Statistics about how everyone is just worse at reading than before??!?!???

i'm just a reblogging fiend tonight

i'm playing a new BG3 file and every time there's an oblique reference to cambions or a particular cambion i'm like the 'awooga awooga' sound byte.

also low-key hilarious because DA4 comes out soon and um, well, i'm a bit scared of how much i'm going to want to write fanfiction for that and i'm staring at my brain like 'oi. OI.' but w/e i wrote stuck on the puzzle super 'late' in that fandom i can be late to veilguard-dreadwolf (dreadwolf was a better name fight me).

time to do some cross-stitch!

#i also have to clean the toilet #and i should make some apple and rhubarb #but i'm sitting down #and here i shall stay #for at least the next hour or so #i've watched so much true crime this year #idek what's going on with my brain #i haven't read a single fictional book #but i have read like 100 manhwa #everyone go read xxx buddy right now

wben i finally get more than 0.2 microns of energy and make one of the multiple video essays i desperately want to make so i can yap out loud as god (never) intended

#in the meantime im delighted by everyone who is sending me asks about my opinions #youguys have figured out that asking me a simple question about a yaoi will unlock like a four part thesis defence #thank you for doing this . and providing enrichment. for me #rookposting #i have like three..... four............ things i want to make video essay about i feel like i cant call them video essays though.#video opinion pieces. video i talk for a whiles #god i miss stand-up so much. when i finally have one too many mental breaks and quit law and go back to being a stage clown instead of an #office work clown. and tumblr normal person #also you guys should listen to asa's podcast about books. they're doing this very thing and it's great #i was on the pilot episode and my audio is bad because we were testing tech but not enough #it's called read another book! there are two episodes right now #buzzsprout.com/2387427 #sorry for putting a url in the tags i know that's useless #but you should listen to it #and give them suggestions for what to talk about #so that they can make me listen to more books that are bad so i can complain about how lawlight did it better which i did. in the pilot #and also others of their friends who will not talk about lawlight in a book podcast. or akeshu which i also did

Mmmhhh

#The biggest betrayal of my life has happened that is:#A friend insisted on me to read something and then when I finally started reading it lost interest in it.#And now I have no one to talk about it because if I'm interpreting things right they don't want to talk about it anymore 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭#Hashtag betrayed hashtag heartbroken #Anyways............ I have Questions about the jj/k plot can anyone help me out #Or is everyone as clueless about what's going on all the time as the author is #My plan was to catch up by the time the manga ended but I'm not even sure when it does end?#I read it somewhere it was on the 30th but I suppose the raws are out already #I'm at chapter 237 right now I should be done between tonight and tomorrow of I speed through #random rambles #delete later #Thinking of it it makes me a little shy to admit I've been reading it‚ I've read so many bad things in the past about it #I've been enjoying it so far tho #Edit: The “I have questions can anyone help me out” part is serious btw.#Though I suppose I should stop asking for help via little tags little people read ahah #Edit 2: J/UJUTSU KAISEN. I'M READING THAT.

in conclusion the most poignant thing about ruina is its running theme of Imperfection. imperfection, focused not on its flaws, but on the miracle of it existing to begin with. imperfection not as a failing, but as a triumph. its cracked, broken, deeply in need of repair-- but it's real and its ours and it exists. despite everything it exists and that enough is a relief beyond words, beyond expression. to present a toppled structure not as a conclusion, but an opportunity.

its the choice-- and the joy-- of looking forward, unflinchingly, and facing it. one step at a time.

#piktalk #projmoon #didnt want to . make a bigger tagwall than i already made . ae if ur reading this uhhhhhh sorry <33 hai KSJNFD #anyway one of these days i might get th voice to really truly put down everything and what it means in regards to . [motions w hands]#but this ones just on my mind right now. something abt the presentation of ruina just fucking Kills and this is the big reason why #ilike. had to take a good couple hours after th finale to just simmer with it. because well..#again. its imperfection. every other story has such stark; lined up beats and paths and Messages Youre Supposed To Take #which ive spoken on before-- and it isnt a bad thing necessarily! but it does really speak something; quietly;#for those whose development Isnt That Neat. that Isnt That Kind. to themself or to others. im no expert; but it really does mean something #that ruina is written in such a way where there is no 'this is wrong and heres how they fix it to be forgiven'#or 'this is right and what everyone should do to be a Good Person'#angela simply Is. roland simply Is. they all simply Are. they make choices; have hopes; dreams; things they care about--#and theres no overarching echo of What Should Be. simply what people do; and what people hope for.#um. anyway. tag wall again; in conclusion: Why Dont You Go Listen To Poems Of A Machine And Maybe Then Youll Calm Down

snow and dirty rain is genuinely one of the best poems ever written imo i go a little insane every time i read it...i am singing now while rome burns.... we are all just trying to be holy...we are all going forward none of us are going back......obsessed w this poem

Is that too much to expect? That I would name the stars for you? That I would take you there?? The splash of my tongue melting you like a sugar cube????? We’ve read the back of the book…. we know what’s going to happen………. But there’s a litany of dreams somewhere in the middle…….. moonlight spilling on the bathroom floor……. a page of the book where we transcend the story of our lives……… Screaming crying THROWING UP !!!!!!

#This Siken poem makes me feral it makes me go insane #It’s tied maybe only w piano lesson for me #bc piano lesson was one of my fav releases from last year #But if anyone were to ask where they should start w Siken id absolutely point them to snow and dirty rain bc COME on #Everyone go read snow & dirty rain RIGHT the fuck now

recent lounging babey images

#he's so floppy recently and I hope it's just the heat. I think wamr weather makes everyone floppy and loungy #a beauntifulle boye...#cats #STILL working on posting some drafts. finishing new poll adventure.. other things... It's just hard with the weather and other things going #on. I've had a few more doctors appointments and other things to do recently that have to be done in a time limit #so I hvae to use my extremely limited energy working on that instead of doing the things I'd really rather do. :T #Main focuses though are keeping up better with doing and posting costumes + sculptures as main creative things. at least finishing the #main poll adventure story. Reworking the game I kind of abandoned for a few years. keeping up with game videos and a few other side things.#Especially the game though. I've been in a really worldbuildy mood recently. I just wish that was easier to manifest into something. I've #now put the worldbuilding slideshow reading video on pause for a while because it's SOOO long to do #and I think I should prioritize making games and stuff instead. but still other things. IT's just kind of like.. I have a whole world and #everything very built and planned out but now.. what do I do with it? what's the best way to share that? factual slideshows just going over #the information like a dictionary? make it into a game? write short stories? do art attached to the world? etc. etc. ?? There are so many #potential avenues I end up kind of flip flopping between them a lot because none really seem more beneficial than the others and they all #seem equally enjoyable and also equally hard so. It's like?? I guess just do what the hell ever and hope I made the right choice in terms o #cost benefit and reward for my time lol. ANYWAY.. Also why I'm in my 'trying to make friends' era still because I think having other creat #ive friends can help you find direction like.. people will meet each other and then go 'hey lol just for fun lets start a project together!#and then like 5 years later it's genuinely become something. etc. having other people to help weed out ideas and start small creative teams #together and etc. I feel is a very beneficial part of networking or whatever but also I have the social capacity of a stale bread roll and #am also inherently unrelatable to seemingly a majority of people due to my hermit wizard swag (detachment from general society and hyper #focus on fantasy worlds in my head gjhghj) so trying to meet people as a grown adult with social issues is Very easy and fun (it is not)#even very basic things like my core communication style is so incompatible with a lot of people it's like.. hhhh... People in this modern #age have GOT to stop being afraid of phone calls and/or text that is longer than 6 paragraphs. Work with me here. I WANT to talk to you. bu #I do not know what your emojis mean and it's physically impossible for me to type less than 85 sentences. please.. hhjgjgb #AAANYWAY!! I am working on things when I can given the circumstances (SUMMER).. hopefully some costume pictures and stuff soon. :'3 #I've not forgotten about my art and etc. - as usual I just am bad at social media and also functioning if it's above 65F lol

just going about my day idly contemplating how some of the ways hawke can interact with a romanced anders are not at all unlike how they interact with leandra (and a bit of carver too, especially with a purple hawke), and then thought about my hawke in the timeline where he romances anders and was hit straight in the face with 'was he ever actually in love, or was he just desperately trying to renegotiate with his mother's ghost in any way he could' and now i need to lie down. this is the power of dragon age 2

#'you don't know my mother' haunting me through the years #dragon age #dragon age 2 #hawke #On second thought let's not go to Kirkwall; it is a silly place #there are of course as many ways to do/read that relationship as there are players to interact with it haha and all valid!#but my personal version of handers is sooo fucked up and bad times for everyone involved and I love it haha.#this is a relationship neither of them should have been in and that made everything worse and everyone unhappy in the end #locked tomb levels of the horrors of love. i ship it but in the way that I want to make it sadder and more gutwrenching each time #to be clear this is a very mutual two-way kind of fucked up but I think varric in his loyalty and love would downplay hawke's side of it #for huge swathes of their relationship anders is not in a mental place to be a good partner and the emotional blackmail is Not Okay #(but it's just like how mother used to make it! hawke's soul cries sadly as it reaches for it hungrily)#which is in some ways fair enough no one could accuse him of not warning you ahead of time fjskda #but hawke is messy about it in a way only available to a covert people pleaser who has never had a millisecond of therapy #with some added stuff that my hawke is always acespec in some form and when he gets together with anders...#is the sex something he doesn't particularly care to have or not have but it 'makes anders happy'/he longs to feel wanted *and* needed #and also a way he gets out of ever being *actually* vulnerable (which I think he'd had to be with varric for example if he Went There )#'you want the hawke who's in your head so badly and I kind of wish I were that hawke too. so let's be collaborateurs with that fantasy'#(and then maybe if I do it right every time you'll finally be happy hawke says in his heart looking at this leandra-anders phantom form)#(and echoing stuff in varric's relationship to hawke but I think the important distinction there is that varric -- is a craftsman haha #he KNOWS when he's lying/making up a story he KNOWS the difference between what is and what he wishes the world was #(I think there's some deep longing there to not know; for it to blend together or have the power to change things. but he always knows)#which ironically leaves him in a better position to actually see and understand hawke the person #even as he is creating hawke the literary figure. almost to protect him in some ways? god da2 is so full of STUFF!!! I adore it)#and of course anders gets so disillusioned with hawke's inertia and lack of action (you all but married this man anders!#you should know this about him he's already carrying the whole family and city on his shoulders if you add a gram more he'll collapse!)#and hawke feels so desperately hurt that the promise anders seemed to make that he'd be enough -- that he could fix things for him --#('I'm the one bright light in kirkwall and that apparently doesn't count for shit so I'm just slowly turning to ash for you')#turned out to be untrue. anyway. sad now. imagine them meeting like twenty years on what the fuck could you even say to each other then #(I can't imagine Hawke ever physically hurting anyone he loves so he just tells Anders to leave at the end of DA2. they COULD meet again

#genshin impact #childe #tartaglia #foul legacy #foul legacy childe #genshin tartagalia #genshin childe #genshin tartaglia #it actually started last night and it is better today but i'm still tired #i was lonely last night and then my brain decided to go whoopsie! here's The Dread!#if you know you know #it was sort of like being on the outside watching people have fun and not being able to join it #because you either can't relate or are uncomfortable with it #and then it made everything Kick In which makes me just sort of pretend to be fine #like someone commented this morning that i seemed more subdued than usual #and instead of saying yeah sorry it's The Dread i was like oh shit i need to act happier #now what that says about meee ahaha we're not going to think about that #honestly i think there's something i should leave #NOT THIS BLOG IT'S NOT HERE I PROMISE #but i used to be comfortable in that place and now it's just. full of people i don't really know #and full of topics i don't understand or like #and i can't say anything because that'll make me look like an ass #and everyone else has something worse than me going on so i really don't have a right to complain #uhhh anyways if you've read this far no you haven't this doesn't exist #/j i love you guys very much #anyways send asks i need comfort from my two favorites #wifi demands talk

#i wish i could go to the library..#and just get cozy in a chair and read for a couple of hours #sadlyyy the past couple of years #parents have decided to make libraries (aka the ONLY quiet zone we have in society)#into their own private playgrounds #and they take their kids there so they can run around and yell and slam things and stomp and just be loud af #and it sucks :(((( it makes me so sad bc libraries are supposed to br quiet and calm #places to go to study and read and such #NOT yet another place where kids get to be noisy and ruin a quiet calm space #and librarians dontsay anything anymore... when i was a kid they always came and SHHHHHHH aggressively lol #and i cant say anything bc then im a 'child hating miserable cow who thinks kids should get beaten up'#idk the thing is yes kids should be at the library... to cultivate their interest in books...#and that should be encouraged... ofc!!!#but some weird shift in society had happend post pandemic and ppl are just stupid and weird and dumb #yes kids running around looking at books and their parents reading for them is chill #but parents allowing their kids to SCREAM and sit in a chair and so #and stomp*** and throw things.....#why is that ok?? why do ppl even think thats ok... and im not a bitter hag for saying that kids shouldnt be noisy #or play in a library.... like why tf dont u go to a playground that is created for children to play and be loud #and let them run their excess energy off. and THEN go to the library #allowingyour kids to ruin an entire library for everyone else is fucking shitty #and libraries are the only place that have ever been quiet and now theyve taken even that from us #(us = neurodivergent & noise sensitive ppl)#and idk its smth that makes me despise society even more.. bc nobody even listens when i calmly and rationally say that hey this isnt ok #bc they only hear that im a child hating bitch who wants kids to have no rights and be murdered in the streets 😐#just bc i think they should be quiet in a library........#but if i go to a playground andstart telling everyone to be fkn quiet then everyone would think im crazy right??#idk i just hate everyone bc i am noise sensitive and libraries SHOULD be quiet but now parents with their kids have ruined the only place #to go. and nobody listens bc they think that if youre noise sensitive u should just sit in your own home 24/7.#and its like crazy to me bc im not going to a store or a cafeand saying YOOOO everyone shut the fuck up im noise sensitive!!!

CUPID HI Being nervous of image does happen sometimes and it's a really difficult thing but I think you're so FUN! Not a lot of people want to be [ Whatever you'd call your behavior ] for a similiar reason you're apologizing for so I think you should take a day to appreciate that uniqueness isn't a horrible dooming end of the world situation. Take what you think is a flaw of yours and look at it as something that others love you for. I can promise that people most likely PREFER you're overly excited

ajgkfhdkfdkjghkjfdhgjkfdhgjkfdhgkjfdhgfdjkg this is too sweet i really wish i could express how much i needed it i hope you have the best day ever. i love you so muchhh

#i just woke up i slept after posting all that #it's going to take a LONG TIME FOR ME TO EVER accept myself but i can tell you mean this #it's not said for the sake of making me feel better #im hugging you #no one has to ever send big messages to cheer me up i usually just get into these moments where the paranoia is heightened and i worry #it passes #i still needed this admittedlyy. i try to act all “tough” like a lonewolf siutation when i know damn well i cant cope #HEPL #like no way do i want to use you guys as therapists i mean i don't mind comfort just sometimes. i usually shut it down #i should be more open to it though #stop thinking “omg everyone feels forced to care about you”#it's always that and “EVERYONE HATES YOU JUST DIE ALREADY” like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA what the fuck!#my brain is so feverish annd scaryy my thoughts get so bad always #i def feel like. RIGHT NOW i have a lot to be thankful for so it feels selfish to ac t this way but anyways #goodnight again #AND IM SORRY I SAW THIS KIND OF LATE???????????????????????????????#uh #BYE BYE IF ANYONE READ ALL THAT

y'all, I am so sorry that the new stranger skin chapter is taking a while. I'm going into my final semester of university, and it's going to be pretty stressful, so things may be a bit more erratic for the next few months. I love and care about this story so much, and it will get finished, but I think it's going to be a bit slow for a minute.

#my writing #stranger skin #like i'm finishing up my thesis and that's taking a lot #and then my classes are kind of actually really difficult #which i was expecting but also completely caught of guard by #i'm thinking around 15 chapters total for the fic though #i'm going to sit down this week and REALLY plan things out so i can write in my free time and pick it up when needed w/o thinking #also going through writers blockrn #whatever mystery illness i had two weeks ago gave me bad brain fog #lol is anyone still reading at this point? this has become a vent #if you want i can share fun stranger skin things in the meantime! like i have a good playlist for it if anyone is interested haha #i should also say that i appreciate everyone who has read/commented/kudos'd the fic and i am happy and love it #it's just having to be on the backburner a little bit right now

I want your quiet, your screaming and thrashing

The salt on your lips and the hands that God gave you

And I want your violence, your silent sedation

Your hands on my insides, fingertips crawling

The scrapes on your knees and the blood that spills over

- Spiracle by Flower Face
