Forbidden orange juice
#Narcissus is an overlooked tragedy i think#in that its not usually considered one#but narcissus was born beautiful and wanted by everyone#and he spurned all advances#generally without particular cruelty--mostly it seems he ignored or recoiled from those chasing him. and for that he was cursed#to love what would not love him back#to be doomed as soon as he knew himself#in a mythos with ravaging heroes and grotesque monsters narcissus is punished for being beautiful and solitary#and the moment he catches sight of his reflection in still water he is lost--gazing at himself#that which would not love him back.#wasting away until nothing but a gold flower remained#and that's what this is about#finding a stranger in your reflection#the self that does not love you#a curse for someone who was solitary#narcissus i hope the water was fathomless#i hope you found something worthwhile in yourself.

dunmeshi inner voices but it's all actual strengths of the characters
Senshi: maintain a balanced diet, listen to your body and be mindful of where your food is coming from. Don't take more than you need from the ecosystem, but remember that to live means to take.
Chilchuck: get paid upfront, get a contract, always have ways to protect your interests in a job, unionize.
Marcille: maintain good hygiene, and take care of your hair and clothes - it's nice and it's worth it. Things in the handbook are there for a reason, but tools aren't moral.
Laios: know your weaknesses and your strengths, and those of your friends. Rely on them and make sure they can always rely on you.
Falin: it's always worth to try kindness first, and to keep a heavy blunt object on hand if that doesn't work out.
Izutsumi: search for your own goals. Be open to change.
Kabru: make your own judgments, and then update them, rather than fit everything you see to your expectations. Act on your beliefs and judgements.
Shuro: always keep the cops in mind, never trust the cops. Know how to balance pressure and politeness in diplomacy.
Namari: maintain a balance between your personal and group interests. Act on your strengths.
Hien: you're staggeringly pretty as is
P. S. Banger post. Here are verified collections of links where you can donate to: Ukraine Syria Palestine
Chilchuck says: Do what you can from where you are. Every action matters, every dollar counts.
#I love this type of post but I can't bear that none of them name Laios' actual strengths#like... dude got his group to the deepest levels of the dungeon not on his monster enthusiasm alone#his genuinely good strategic eye and his constant self-reflection are *vital* to each encounter and to the macro-plot in general#look no further than the shapeshifter episode#dungeon meshi#dunmeshi#delicious in dungeon#dunmeshi anime#laios touden#falin touden#senshi of izganda#kabru of utaya#chilchuck#izutsumi#toshiro nakamoto#namari

He was just being a silly little guy!
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangyao#wen ruohan#nie mingjue#lan xichen#JGY's character is the zigging and zagging guy of all time#We love a little meow meow that can bite and scratch and kill you.#We also love a little meow meow that can mewl pathetically!#'He's evil now and torturing his former friend?" ZAG TIME: He's a spy and feels soooo awful about it!!#ZIG TIME: He (probably) didn't need to go that deep into the role and kill as many people as he did.#Something I really love about the sworn brother trio is how they reflect how our feelings distort our perception of others.#Lan Xichen represents how when we love/care about someone -anything they do can be endearing. They aren't manipulative: they are clever.#Its less about rose tinted glasses and more about reframing every look you get of them. The constant justifications you make for them.#They just need a space to be loved! “They care for me so I will stand by them no matter what to show them I'm there for them!”#While NMJ represents how when you dislike someone - Everything they do is an affront or proof of their foul character.#Everything is a sign. Everything is 'proof' they are just as awful as you want them to be. Every 'good trait' is twisted.#The problem is that most people are just human. They are flawed and they are capable of good and bad things.#Meng Yao's motivations are very complex. Yet he's extremely human all the same. He isn't the saint nor the monster of the story.

The Lover's Lake has got me feeling things I cannot quite identify... LOOK AT THEM....
ONE OF THEM IS SO CLEARLY SOMETHING OTHER AND TWISTED AND STRANGE BUT. THEY ARE IN LOVE SWANS IN LOVE IN THE LOVER'S LAKE.... stares at the MC
stares at the ghouls
C'mon. C'MON
#tokyo debunker#tdb#i don't know how to tag this one just#SCREAMS#do you think the black swan laments about being a monster and the white swan tells it that it's not#that it loves it no matter what that lying lake shows in its reflection#that their hearts are forever intertwined and that if they are a monster then monsters are beautiful#or do you think they're just anomalous birds that'd fuck up your picnic and drown you

supernatural was truly just. a fifteen year long experimental study looking into an audience's ability to empathise with the Narrative Scapegoat. the results? most people are still filled with the medieval urge to throw rotten fruit at the resident Freak in the town square.
#reflecting on the nature of most sam hate i encounter and it's exactly just that#mixed combo of poor media literacy but also just the nature of genre storytelling#no one's gonna notice the subversions you're trying to pull! people will read it all at a Literal surface level#even when this show gets incredibly on the nose w it's metatextual signposting#the way morality operates on this show is so fascinating! it needs its own post#sam tries escaping his family and the story he's trapped in#but that decision gets burdened w the moral weight of#well look! you're neglecting your responsibility to save innocent people from monsters#and now you've put innocent bystanders in the path of danger! your girlfriend's dead!#sam monstrosity studies#j.txt

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO MICHAEL AFTON DRAGGING HIS FATHER TO HELL TO TORTURE HIM FOR ETERNITY 🎉🎉🎉🎉HERE'S A BUNCH OF VENGEFUL SPIRIT MICHAEL ART IN CELEBRATION + WILLY BOY GENERALLY GETTING TORTURED
[Commissions for Palestine are open! Check my pinned for details!]
#cassie draws#five nights at freddy's#ultimate custom night#vengeful spirit michael#the way i personally conceptualize mike's vengeful spirit appearance is like#he is frozen in his 14 year old state#he is frozen as the kid he was when he shoved cassidy's head into fredbear's mouth#in the same outfit with the same mask. the mask's teeth stained red with his blood.#he still fucking hates himself for what he did to his brother#still sees himself as a monster#the kid he was died with cassidy#and now in hell with his father he still looks like that fourteen year old#sighs. kicks legs. i love symbolism#fnaf#william afton#michael afton#in the it's-us-both image william's true self is sorta reflected#his true self is the yellow rabbit. the monster. the man who murdered the five children.#he's been ripped out of that form as part of his punishment. he does not get that power.#he is no longer the hunter but instead the hunted by all the children he killed AND BY SPRINGTRAP#while michael stands there. his body too is rotting away. and he doesn't have a suit to hold him together. only bandages and anger.#and yet he is the powerful one. he is the one to trap his father in hell for all eternity.#idk i love symbolism#also it's their states when they were dead-undead vs their spirit forms. somethnig something symmetry or something#the one you should not have killed#vengeful spirit#blood#fnaf firelight

Ever since I was little I always got the impression Randall was an autistic boy who just wanted people to like him, to be accepted and praised, but ultimately ends up with the wrong crowd- Which ALSO reminds me of my experience with autism in a school setting where people will only come to you if you can be ‘useful’ to them, like ROR with Randall’s camouflage ability, and how easy it is to be tricked into mistaking this for genuine kindness.
On the topic of camouflage, whether intentional or not, it’s a perfect metaphor for masking, ‘blending in’. And how Randall has to change who he is just to fit in, starting out small by taking off his glasses, and ending with him completely changing who he is as a person. It all hits way too close to home for me.
And I’m not excusing any of his actions, but I can emphasize with his experiences that cause him to be this way. How his jealousy turns into hatred. I’ve felt all of those things. How one bad experience can change you. It’s just. UUUUUGH.
I don’t know if it’s really an autism thing but I’ve noticed a common theme of me and my nd friends having particular issues with letting go of the past/holding grudges.
Even if he was hypothetically given a second chance, there’d still be that bitter, petty side of him that will always be there because it’s been practically engraved into his head ever since that one moment.
And on the topic of the incident™️, there’s the topic of Johnny. I’m out for blood when I see this asshole. I’ve been in Randall’s exact position of trying to get in with the popular crowd. When Johnny told him to “do the thing” and he giddily obeyed immediately like a puppy desperate to please so they could gawk at him.
He mistook their ‘acceptance’ as friendship. But the only reason why they kept him around was because of his ability, similar how the popular kids will keep around the oblivious autistic kid to use as a punching bag or a jester. They were never laughing with you. They were laughing at you.
MaW is cool and all but I don’t buy that Randall and Johnny were ‘besties’, especially not after the scare games. My personal belief is that Randall left them and secluded himself from people after what happened, never getting over his humiliation and shame, and hatred for Sully. He gets so fixated on proving himself that nothing else matters, and thus he never grows as a person. It may seem far fetched to a normal person, but to me I understand. I get how easy it is to slip into that mindset, to let one bad experience eat away at you and change you, how it makes you withdraw from other people and let yourself get enveloped in your feelings.
I just, idk… I want to see him grow, too. Because I know he’s more than just the hatred and jealousy that’s been building inside of him. He wasn’t always like this, we know that. One experience can ruin you, but it can also save you.
Anyways yeah this boys autistic
#randall boggs#monsters inc#monsters university#Pixar#Disney#rambling#autism#anyways yes I fully believe he can be redeemed#with a lot of work and effort#and therapy#and reflection#and a good chewing out#and some depression meds#and a diary#and a real friend
