Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will
#svsss#scum villian self saving system#shen qingqiu#shen yuan#the fact that people think scum villain#-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me#especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater#heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series#he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters#(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters#like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx#I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes#side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me#i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation#but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years#like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain#the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too#+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu#as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people#another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does#also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be#he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students#and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing#+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this#but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

Why I don’t Want You to Visit: Autism Edition

My home is my safe place
I want to unmask safely
I need alone time
I am overwhelmed
I don’t want anyone to disturb my belongings
This is a sensory safe place
This is the only place I can be totally myself

Minthara is a paladin of her word. She does not make promises, she makes vows. She makes oaths. Even as an oathbreaker, she heavily adheres to the tenants of it. Being an oathbreaker just gives her more flexibility and freedom to fulfill the oaths she makes. She never breaks a promise and she never breaks a vow, and when she says she's going to do something she is going to do it.
So when she says she will go to Avernus with or without Karlach, she means it. She will personally throw hands with Zariel, and the only thing that will stop her is Zariel's death, or her own. And it is one thing if Karlach does go with her, but a whole other thing if Karlach dies on that pier.
Not only will Minthara be grieving, she will be wrathful. And she's going to channel that wrath to the front to avoid feeling the grief (cause she doesn't always approach her emotions in the healthiest way). And she's going to take some of Karlach's rage and Karlach's fury with her. She will kill any demon or devil that gets in her way. There will be no distractions, unless the side quest gets her closer to Zariel or increases her chances in the fights to come.
Minthara is not doing this for power, she is not doing this for glory, she does not care for a crown or a throne. She is down there in Avernus to avenge the love that burned out too soon.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#minthara#minthara baenre#karlach#karlach cliffgate#burnre#karlach x minthara#minthara x karlach#headcanons#and you know what - if she finds the time - she just might kill mizora while she's down there solely because karlach hated that bitch.#and when zariel is finally dead and minthara's knuckles are bruised and bloody#and her oath is fulfilled and the vengeance and the anger fades#she has to confront her grief and the fact that none of this was ever going to bring karlach back#minthara has always known the the world is unfair. but she will actually *feel* that all of this is unfair#but karlach never stopped moving and she never stopped finding beauty in the world - even when she knew her days were numbered#even with her grief - minthara will still get back up and keep living and keep fighting for karlach's sake#and try to discover whatever beauty karlach found in the world.#one of the hardest parts about shipping minthara with a non-elf or a race that doesn't have a long life span#is knowing that minthara is going to outlive them and she'll be alone#and she would *not* handle the grief process well at all#if you both are to die - she wants to die with you because she doesn't want to outlive you and be left alone with her grief#even if karlach did survive and found a cure for her heart - she was always going to die first

guy who so desperately tries to find god. who wants to have faith in a higher authority to guide him out of the hole he's in. from the weight of guilt from simply existing, as the person he is. but every time he thinks he's answered his higher calling it turns out he's made the Morally Incorrect choice and his path to goodness and holiness was the road to the devil all along
#now trusting god will give you a way out? there's your real crime!!!#guy betrayed by the protestant promise of a direct connection with god. but is also somehow. joan of arc.#see he never achieves actual martyrdom tho bc he's not allowed to stay dead lmaooo#sam somehow the most unintentionally catholic AND protestant character of all time#dean the atheist who sees religious predestination as the curse it is from the get go. framed as the narrative's Real Moral Authority#but also in the process reifying patriarchal familial power n authority. very very important Value of the Church#i don't think it's that deep. the show's attempt at critiquing christianity. but the way it reinforces christian cultural values???#'religious predestination and absolute faith in a higher authority...bad'#nice nice ok tell me more?#“so you should put your faith in family. in your patriarch (big brother)”#?????????#the thematic incoherence of it all. it's like the world's stupidest puzzle box to me. i can't leave it alone.#sam = maybe i can find god thru following my destined path. wait oh shit.#cas = maybe i can find god thru rebellion and seeking my own destiny. wait oh shit.#dean = god is fucking dead and me i also feel not so good#the “guy who so desperately wants to find god parallel” <- me coming out as a secret sastiel fan#both of them...finding god in de-[sniper on the roof kills me in one shot]#spn bible studies#j.txt

while we're on the subject of "morty-prime teamup" what if there was another two crows situation
#rick and morty#prosh/p dni#morty smith#rick sanchez#this is based on the scene at the end of the 2 crows ep#but ummm i think rick would be much more irritable?#like morty very passively just accepted the situation but i feel like rick would start to double down and kind of revert back to his more-#'iconic' personality of just you know. being awful#like obviously he understands morty is justified and i think on some level even agrees with him#but guys. He is so codependent and So shitty. like he cannot express these feelings properly#and like. Improving as a person isnt a linear process Like i appreciate rick making an effort to be better#but just... Getting Better right away is not how it works really#like idk. if rick starts feeling desperate i dont think its unrealistic to imagine he unconsciously starts behaving 'in his comfrot zone'#he starts throwing insults and telling morty hes stupid. generally trying to kick down his sense of self esteem#BECAUSE HE GENUINELY IS SCARED OF BEING ALONE#or like. Not having control over being alone you know#my art

I think there’s a weird fear of being “”forgotten”” in fandom that people don’t talk about enough… kind of in the same way that we don’t talk about the natural jealousy and envy that can arise when you’re friends with other creatives.
These emotions are ugly sometimes, especially because they’re counter to all the fandom messaging of “We do this for fun! We do this just for ourselves!!!!”. To be jealous means you care beyond yourself, to feel bad about not posting means you care beyond yourself, and therefore it’s uncomfortable to admit it.
So then it’s this weird double whammy shame of not writing and then sequestering away the feelings of anxiety that it causes, you know?
Idk where I’m going with this, but I’m gonna set a time for 7:30pm and try to open my laptop for the first time in a month
#I’m randomly awash with this feeling of anxiety over not having touched my laptop — let alone wrotten — in a month#because what?#people won’t remember that I write? people will be upset with me?#it’s a weird balance — I do write for myself! I write stories I want to see I write whatever I LOVE#and yet sometimes I remember that there are people who ALSO love what I write and then I get. complex feelings.#anyways sorry I’m processing some things ig#constantly#writing.txt

Freesia; a symbol of freedom, independence, trust, and innocence
ID under cut. Reblogs are always appreciated. Make your voices known. And call your senators.
Image: A digital drawing of a men's dark brown dress shoe and dark blue-grey dress pants from the ankle down. The shoe is stepping on a yellow freesia flower. The flowers remain pointing upwards. The drawing is on a green background which becomes darker as it moves further away from the viewer and up the image.

the actual misery i felt watching hans get locked in that jail cell alone
#martie.txt#no don’t leave him there alone don’t leave him there ALONE#scratching at the walls thinking of him feeling the walls close in without henry there to ground him#feeling his death creep closer and closer not knowing henry was going to be able to save or even IF he was doing anything to try to help GO#and then being forced to walk past the gallows where he was almost killed for days. DEATH DEATH DEATH#DEATH TO ULRICH#i mean i know that’s what he got. but that was too good for him he deserved worse#he deserved a julius caesar esque stabbing#i’ve accidentally played through the whole trosky nebakov section yesterday in one go bc i couldn’t bear to leave it without knowing how it#ended so now i’m just thinking back and processing#i do have hans capon illness for real#kcd2#kcd2 spoilers#hans capon

Nothing like Heartstopper S2E8 removing some of Taylor Swift's "seven" lyrics just so that the singing can specifically come back in at "Or hide in the closet" while Isaac is processing difficult emotions related to the book he's reading (i.e., Ace: What Asexuality Reveals About Desire, Society, and the Meaning of Sex by Angela Chen).
Did I mention "Or hide in the closet" hits just as the camera focus finishes shifting away from Isaac?
This is fine
#This is not fine#Warning: Long tags ahead (2 topics)#TOPIC 1:#I'm glad Isaac feels safe enough to be reading this book and processing emotions around his friends#That's the positive spin on “he's quietly dealing with a lot while next to his friends and they're not noticing and he's not sharing" right#The contrast of this with the happy friend-bonding montage time feels purposeful and sad (esp. with lyrics about staying in the closet)#but on the bright side this is in the midst of happy friend-bonding montage time so we also see them having happy bonding times together#- showing the friendship is still strong even if right now Isaac isn't wholly known or fully fitting#Hopefully this is leading to Isaac telling his friends what he's going through in S3 and the friendships adapting to fit him better#TOPIC 2:#Also - don't think it's unintentional that where the camera focus shifts to is Nick with his arms around Charlie and then kissing his head#I think we're being purposefully distracted from Isaac with allo 'cuteness'#Because what the other characters often get swept up in - especially as they all couple up in S2 - is alloromantic/allosexual interactions#And that's frequently what the world prioritises or cares more about too#I think the show is intentionally calling everyone - from the characters to us watching them to the whole world - out#So that hopefully we (general) can all be more aware and do better#[In case you were wondering this N&C/Isaac scene is also right after we see short clips of Elle & Tao and Tara & Darcy cuddling -#which also seems very intentional: Isaac - sandwiched in between views of cuddling couples - alone in more ways than one]#CONCLUSION:#I think everything is working together to highlight the contrast between what N&C and Isaac are respectively experiencing in this moment#Did I mention this is not fine?#It is well done though#heartstopper mini moment#isaac henderson#aroace#aromantic asexual#lgbtqia+#queer#taylor swift#seven

The painting of the laundry room scene made me so emotional,, I bet ccDonnie would enjoy some art therapy. I want that turtle to be happy so bad
i think a lot about how mikey was specifically painting a sunrise,,, i was definitely trying to invoke falling skyward energy there (yes i think a lot about how in the beginning of CL when they're first cursed its notably sunset, and in falling skyward its sunrise and the chapter right after is named "the break of dawn" im sooo normal)
also the way it loops back around from in CL where it was specifically noted there was no graffiti there, and how donnie saw that as the most fitting place to die. there were no traces of his brothers, only him, this was the only room he frequented because he was the only one doing laundry back then. he was so convinced his own undoing was his fault. how now they'll do anything to say im here, even if they cant be. how they're willing to love from a distance if that will make him more comfortable, just like he spent years doing for them
also yessss he deserves some relaxing hobbies he doesn't feel like he has to excel at. his tech used to bring him comfort when he was upset and he definitely doesn't feel that way anymore after everything that happened .... let cc!donnie make some art!!!
#ask#canary continuity#ughhh it means a lot to me that they care so much about showing that they accept his input in his own recovery#in a lot of places. some boundaries they cant cross (sparring with him. him going back on the field is also ... a process. they're still-#-a little too protective and they like to hover)#their method becomes ''let me help'' instead of them making him stop#he cant just stop going back to the laundry room. sometimes when he's terrified that's the only place that feels safe#just like how sometimes triggers and flashbacks within themselves are inevitable#and im sure sometimes he will still sleep on the floor#all they can do is show him he's not alone. they're here even if they're not#they never want him to be alone again. they'll do anything to prevent him from feeling that way. even when he's by himself

i think part of my problem is i lived with my best friend for two years of my life and have been searching for the same feeling of joy & acceptance & support ever since
#like I’ve sat down and had a think about it and the times I’ve felt the least lonely in the last 5+ years are when my roommates were close#friends I could pray with/laugh with/cry with/unmask with#something something you can’t keep trying to go back somewhere that doesn’t exist anymore you need to go forward#but the only way I can see myself thriving is if I can live with people/someone who feel(s) like home#and I know that can come with time and you meet new people and make new friends and settle down somewhere and slowly build yourself a life#but how do you do that without dying along the way#and I’m here in this new state and I’m trying to be content but there’s the very real possibility everything is going to change *again*#later this year and I just. I’m done I want it all to be over I want to get to find someone and commit my life to them and get to know we’r#we’re gonna figure it out together#and bitterness is so tempting right now bc unless God heals & transforms & really really surprises me#(all of which He CAN do but I just have never thought that was His desire for me); unless that happens I will probably be alone for the#rest of my life#and I can write essays on the importance of platonic friendships and how good and beautiful it is to value them but that grows weaker and#weaker the older you get the more all your friends seek marriage and find their other halves and you’re still. just. There#it’s nearly midnight and I should write a poem instead of processing in the tags of a post but really I may just go to bed#I’m so glad I have a phone call and prayer group to look forward to tomorrow#and the Bible study tonight was good <3 some things were hard about it but my soul was comforted#and I may have even more questions but at the very least right now I know God is Love#and that is the bottom line of any answer that I seek#….which I guess maybe loops back to the processing too. I know He is love I know He’s supposed to be sufficient#so what do you do when that doesn’t FEEL like enough#God I believe help my unbelief. please#elle rambles#[y]#/p
