Yo where do you buy your accesory belts/harnesses/whatever else there is? I'm vegan and want to get into more gothy clothing, but it feels like there's leather fucking EVERYWHERE

killstar stuff and demonias afaik are both 100% pleather, or at least have an extensive list of non leather options, those are good places to start!

#lilith answers #goth #i know pleather isnt like #good for the environment or anything #thats why i dont call it “vegan leather”#but im vegan because of animal commodification #not because i think everyone going vegan will save the world or anything #we gotta topple the corporations for that

Something I initially really liked about Cale's character is how he suddenly became the "trash" of the count's family and he seemingly takes it as an asshole permit.

No manners, rude? Well duh, He's the local trash.

And then, hundreds of chapters later it hit me:

This guy really never changed the way he acted, he says so himself and it's why Choi Han was able to easily recognize him in Choi Jung Soo's memories.

Which begs the question: What sort of internal narrative did he have going on as Kim Rok Soo to "justify" his behavior?

Baby Rok Soo was at the bottom of the social ladder, an orphan, poor and his uncle was an alcoholic and a gambling addict to boot

How many times do you think he heard things like "What can you expect from someone without parents?", or "Just what you would expect from someone who wasn't raised properly"

"Someone of your kind"

And then he became a Team Leader

How many things did he do or didn't do under the pretense of being "Cold-blooded"

It also doesn't help that he's unable to process praise or kindness directed at him.

#Like that one time he says that Choi Han has been able to remain kind because he grew up in a loving environment #Then what about YOU mister #I mean in his mind he's trash and definitely not a “good person” TM #and I think the environment he grew up in contributes to his inability to ever see himself as anything “good” or “positive”#I just think it's beautiful that he grew up and chose kindness #He knows what suffering is and he doesn't want that for others #and OMG I'M TURNING INTO CLOPEH SEKKA HERE #listen don't think about Cale Henituse #don't do it #you'll end up in a cult #tcf #trash of the count's family #lcf #lout of count’s family

“does it even do anything for the env-“ shut up

who are you, santa clause? no little thing should have to justify its right to be alive.

it lives, and therefore it is worthy.

#that being said - everything and i mean everything (natural) has its VITAL place in the environment #i just hate the mindset that something is less deserving of life and respect just because it may not do anything useful #looking LOOKING at wasp roach etc etc haters 👀#like yeah we all know they’re very good for the environment and do great things BUT #even if all they did was buzz around all day that wouldn’t give anyone the right to senselessly exterminate them #bug #bugs #bugposting #bugblr #insects #insectblr #invertebrate #invertebrates #invertiblr #spider #spiders #spiderposting

how many times do i have to tell you that if you’re going to make walburga (and any other female character) a two-dimensional stereotype, you better be doing the exact same for the death eater characters because (shocker!!!!) if you’re choosing to base how much attention you give to a character’s complexities on their actions, then they all did terrible, unjustifiable things, and as such should be receiving the same treatment

#i hope this makes sense #bc i'm tired of people disregarding walburga as also having grown up #in the terrible environment of the noble house of black #sure her later actions were terrible #but as were the death eater characters you seem to love??#also sidenote people who try and justify the actions of every character like #“oh they were forced into it” or whatever #OR make an au and don't do anything to make their characters worsen as time goes on #ARE BOOOOORING!!!!#like morally grey characters are all good and dandy but unfortunately #death eaters aren't morally grey 😭😭#exception to that could be regulus #but i prefer when he just develops better morals as time goes on #whatever happened to character development damn #that's really what i'm trying to get at tbh #just as characters can get better #they can also get worse #so apply that logic to all your characters it rly won't take that much work or time #ceri.txt #hp marauders #marauders era #marauders #harry potter series #hp #walburga black #the noble and most ancient house of black #the noble house of black

Cuno should join Hardie boys in the future not RCM btw my unpopular hot take opinion thingie.

#disco Elysium #geym #harry and cuno art is cutee #but there is nothing happy in joining rcm i cant see anything but depression in cunos future if he becomes a detective #soo he should join Hardie boys they have their own problems but its actually very much better #like whole game it is already so fucked up playing as harry and seeing how being a cop is so miserable #and even with kim the good cop who trust the system so badly is miserable because he is a cop #and now you want me to believe cuno would be happy if he joins the rcm #plus Cunoesse i dont want her to be alone and her bestie being a pig #i really dont like rcm every time i interact with them with radio or in whirling its dreadful #martinese can be not so healthy environment but compared to rcm its just more hopeful and less dreadful actually #there is still small things in life that makes you happy there some freedom and hope #anyways tldr nooo cuno don't be a pig and hardie boys >>> rcm #now sleepy time for me

Y'all out here arguing with things that other people didn't say about a plot line that didn't even happen and I don't understand why we can't just disagree. Especially because it seems like what everyone is bristling about more than anything is tone. White people can argue endlessly about nothing as long as the thing they're actually upset about is tone, because they'll also never be straightforward with each other about how tone is really what's rubbing everyone the wrong way.

This is why I try to talk about things explicitly instead of vagueing outside of a few very specific circumstances. Because vagueing hasn't saved me when someone took umbrage with my tone, especially when half the time my tone is completely benign in the first place. Once I figured out it was gonna be a coin toss if misinterpreted, no matter what, I just decided to try to say what I mean and mean what I say.

When we talk about fandom's whiteness we're also talking about this. Y'all don't even have to be arguing about race for it to turn into white nonsense.

#la fandom es dolor #being a fandom is suffering #disc horse #makeover plot #ofmd #calypso's birthday #i have a very clever friend who has made a compelling argument about white western people #and how thin their skins are #because she grew up in an environment with people who are white but don't do this same thing #and it's all about not having a culture of roasting #if your culture doesn't teach you the value of a good roast/read whatever you want to call it #you can bristle at licherally ANYTHING #honestly I think she's about 70% right

It's easy to get the impression that Tetsuji never cared enough to rein in Riko's behaviour and temper but I think it's the opposite. I think Riko grew up constantly being told stuff like, "You have to learn to control your temper" and, "Is that any way to behave?" by Tetsuji. I think Tetsuji would have even disciplined him harshly every time he was caught acting out of anger. But all that is coming from Tetsuji - the man who would beat a kid if they displeased him in any way. How can you ever really take to heart the words of someone who demonstrates the exact opposite of what they preach? How are you supposed to not learn that the real lesson is, "Become the one who has all the power over everyone else and you will never have to suffer criticism for how you behave ever again."

#you cannot tell me that tetsuji isn't every bit as angry and violent as riko #he's just better at hiding it because he directs it at people who can't speak up about it or do anything about it #this is the sort of thing i mean when i say riko is a product of his environment #being treated a certain way reinforces certain behaviour patterns #sometimes those behaviour patterns just feed into a bad cycle which continues to reinforce them #it's not an excuse but it is an explanation #i don't know why i'm even saying this because i actually quite like riko as a character who's an awful person #i like him specifically because he's awful in an interesting way and i wouldn't want it any other way #aftg #riko moriyama #i feel like i could write essays about how riko #despite being a seemingly over the top evil villain actually does a good job of showing some of the worst responses to trauma and #how he reflects the worst that we can realistically become

much thoughts about shri’iia only knowing the most basic of common (like yes/no/what/hello) when she gets dropped off in the surface so she ends up learning from the companions mostly gale bc in turn she probably teaches him common drowic and MUCH thoughts about astarion eventually being the one who teaches her bc they spend a lot of time together at night (since they don’t need sleep) and that’s soooooo tangled rapunzel to me sharing a book together and he teaches her basic phrases and how to read common. like shri’iia knowing key words in common like kill or die so he’s like ok here’s how you say kill yourself 🤭 and she parrots it back to him, kys! then he cackles bc he’s teaching her the most diabolical funny shit and she just says it back. but eventually he stops treating it like a game (like after she drew his scar for him) and he teaches her proper. at night when everyone is asleep they read a book together and he tries his best to teach her what it says —I also imagine they mind link often bc if he can’t describe it properly he can at least show her, and she’s like slowly learning how to speak common through him.

that’s also part of the accidentally falling in love 🫵 bit

#also thinking about astarion teaching her how to say I like you and struggling to describe what that means #bc he has to go knee deep in his feelings hehehehe… then he just tells her it’s something good. and warm #and she’s like ok… goes off and asks Gale what it means. he gives her a brief explanation but she’s still confused #bc there’s no such word in drowic #so she just assumes it’s when she feels good about something. she likes it #also DO hav a wip post graveyard scene astarion telling her to say I like you to him 🥰🥰🥰🤭🤭#and she does and he says yes and he tells her he loves her but she doesn’t know what that means but she assumes it’s similar to like #he tells her well you’ll know someday 🤭 and she’s like ? ok lol #shri’iia when she finds out what it means: combust #I also think it’s only in the start that she struggles with common #but generally when ur w people and in an environment with the language u pick the basics fairly quickly #so I think later half of act 1/act 2 she’d know enough to have basic convos #but anything in depth she won’t b able to speak as confidently. I also think she’d get so frustrated sometimes #bc she can’t say what she means she just starts ranting off in drowic #also shri’iia teaching astarion drowic heheheheh 🤭

also also i see a lot of people saying that "mouthwashing should be a movie!" and i cannot begin to explain to you how mouthwashing wouldnt work in any other medium

#text #literally the only one that could come close to working out is as a book but even then it wouldnt be as good #since youd just be sitting and watching things happen instead of 'choosing' to follow the story (and being powerless to change anything)#the fact that you are INSIDE the characters is the entire point #this is what i was saying before #sometimes a game isnt only a game bc it was 'cheaper than making a movie' and it was 'all the devs could afford'#sometimes. the fact that you are interacting with the environment. that YOU are making those choices #that you are seeing things from the pov of the player character #thats like... vital to the story #and just saying 'oh it should be a movie!' makes it seem like you see the medium as just A Method Of Saying Shit #and not something that is usually chosen very specifically to get the most emotional impact #the fact that YOU are jimmy and you slowly realise he isnt that great despite his unreliable narration is THE WHOLE POINT #and. also. PLEASE tell me how you think the opening scene would work in a format where you can SEE what is happening #if all you SEE are featureless silhouettes then itd be obvious theyre trying to hide something from you #and youd figure out the twist within the first 5 minutes

the first time i really experienced the "oh i am getting old huh" phenomenon, i was 21 & tutoring this lovely little 5th grader living down the street - i was helping with her homework and i noticed her handwriting. i went like "oh, they let you write in script at school now?" "what do you mean?" "well back in my day you would get in big, big trouble if you used anything else than cursive handwriting" "what's a "cursive"?". turns out she wasn't taught cursive at all!

which is wild because, like, not only were we not taught script at all, but teachers acted as though using script was some kind of nefarious deviant behavior. i had this friend in 4th grade who kept getting in HUGE trouble all the time because she wouldnt use cursive at all, like, they called her parents and threatened to have her expelled iirc. this was in the mid 2000's lmao

there was a classist element to it - i noticed that teachers were more likely to assume a student was smart and be more magnanimous in their grading if the student used cursive rather than script (which was considered childish, vulgar, and sometimes girly (derogatory)), used a fountain pen rather than ballpoint, and (sometimes, not always) black ink instead of blue (all other colors were generally banned for graded essays but i got away with using brown ink. i used a calligraphy fountain pen though which helped), though sometimes it was the opposite and black ink was banned with only blue ink allowed (go figure). often teachers would explain these rules to us, proudly even (?). the kind of "girly half-cursive/half-script" with curly letters & tiny hearts dotting the i's was also frowned upon and considered vulgar and a mark of stupidity

i'm glad this is changing at the very least but :( cursive is such a good tool tbh it has so much personality also & nothing is more appropriate for fountain pen use than cursive, so i'm sad this is seemingly disappearing...

#it was a rather generalized sentiment i think #like my parents and most of their colleagues (high school teachers) HATED when students used script #some would deduce points or something #i only experienced a script-heavy environment in germany where they didnt seem to have been taught anything else #so i trained myself to write in script & sent a letter or postcard home at some point. written in script #and my parents fuckgin. GHOSTED ME LMAO #for weeks #then when i got my dad on the phone he was like “mom said: don't bother writing ever again if you persist in this folly” (sic)#to be honest i never really understood the point of script because it always looks clumsy and childish to me & is harder & slower #so i went back to cursive #but it was really funny i must admit #when i came back and she saw i had reverted to my natural handwriting she said “good. at least you're not writing like a vapid retarded ape #anymore. you do have *some* sense of propriety at least.“#insane behavior

oy. my first week here was pretty good but it is dawning on me that I may be in over my head and fall behind. I'm not used to studying, I don't know how to study or put in the effort. I've got notes and papers and a workbook and it's all over the place and I have a test first thing tomorrow morning. I also have homework to do on top of studying for the test (and you could say the homework is part of the studying).

But it is occurring to me that the other students are probably goofing off less than I am in my off hours and are putting in the work and know how to study this stuff and I'm already behind. They might have to put me back in the beginner class lolz.

I mean it's not that I don't care but maybe I need to take it a little more seriously. It's hard and there is stuff I'm pretty slow on, but what if I just don't know how to get my brain on the right track to get this stuff? I am so used to a 'screw it I don't care, I'll fudge it' attitude, and whatever happens, happens, but this is what I signed up for! I didn't really know what I was in for honestly, and it sure seemed like a good idea at the time, and I didn't sleep well for the better part of 2 weeks so this first week I wasn't functioning at 100% anyway. I'm not making excuses. I'm just saying. This is contributing to my situation. And I'm realizing that if I don't focus and buckle down (as my mom used to say), and perhaps even if I do, I could fail spectacularly.

And some days it feels like it's snowballing, like we're going at this pace like wait, when did we even mention this let alone cover it?? So I just feel like a big dummy sometimes.

But now that I have had this realization, and have gotten some sleep, and managed to get laundry off my mind for a while, maybe this week even if I do crappily on the test, I can get into a better pattern of doing the work and less goofing off on the internet.

Also if I don't need a heart bypass by the end of this course from all the eggs and salt they are feeding me it will be a small miracle. Thankfully they have salad with every meal.

#maybe i'd be better off just eating the gluten bc some of the special meals i'm getting are...nicht so special.#good thing I've been taking my stupid little walks once or twice a day #yesterday I think I walked 6.5 miles or so on the Lindau trip and today it was like 3.5? I forget & my phone is just out of reach #but it's nice that it's so easy to just walk out the door and take a good walk in a park or something #unlike at home where I just have to walk around my dull neighborhood counting rabbits and it feels like a chore #it's SO pedestrian and bike friendly here which is one way Europe is 1000% better than the US and they actually care about the environment #it's not like a small percentage of people fighting against a tsunami to get anything people friendly and environmentally friendly

i hardly ever mention Glad for some reason. you. you know the one. the cousin. the mouthless one. bellona’s cousin that I have probably only mentioned once but she does actually do stuff in the plot. yknow. i only have concept sketches of her but uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

#pdbc #yeagh this is not good quality but whatever hashtag yolo #isnea. have I mentioned isnea by name. it’s the previously unnamed desert region that bellonas from #I only have that very poor visual representation of it but it is basically encased in a giant stone slab. only a small opening at the top #so you’d better have aircraft or something cause otherwise you’re trapped there #i love isnea…..everyone there lives under a rock literally and figuratively #I should make a longer post about it sometime. it doesn’t have much lore tbh but I like desert environments #glad my beloved I need to talk more about her she’s awesome. at least I think so #actually I just need to talk about Bellona’s family more in general. she does in fact have one and it’s one of the few somewhat stable ones #glad is her cousin obviously but she also has an older brother who’s older by like. a lot. like 20 years #so she doesn’t really know him at all and he doesn’t know her. alas. he’s tried to reach out but how do you even start that conversation #especially after she went through The Horrors #like heyyyyyyy sis I know u just almost died in a fire and I was never really told until now but wanna go have lunch or something #but her brother has a granddaughter who is Minerva. who is domitone’s friend also also one of the people tryna kill finch #hatred for the gourd father runs in the family 🥰🥰#and Minerva has a second cousin named din. and din. heh. well. he just kinda doesn’t do anything #glad kinda goes through the horrors too tbh she was chillin for the first like 55 years of her life #but then Whoops looks like bellona died and nobody really told her until Minerva brought it up in passing #and she’s also stuck with a haunted key. did I ever mention the haunted key.#probably not! but Glad is stuck with a haunted key and she HATES IT SO SO MUCH #ALSO 🫵🫵🫵BECAUSE SHE HAS NO MOUTH SHE COMMUNICATES VIA SIGN LANGUAGE #traditional isnean sign language to be more specific. ISL tends to come across as rather blunt and doesn’t have much nuance to it—#—which is why bellona comes across as rude most of the time. aside from the fact she is just plain rude #like wdym I shouldn’t tell people to go away right now or else. that’s what my cousin always said when she needed space.#please please please on my hands and knees begging can we have some underweight characters who actually have the effects of being so #i will have to do it myself I fear. here you go Glad have some severe weakness and all that funny stuff. good luck carrying heavy objects #(IM NOT MAKING FUN OF UNDERWEIGHT PPL SHUISUHUHIS I’M UNDERWEIGHT MYSELF I’M SICK OF IT BEING SEEN AS ATTRACTIVE)#also glad likes to blow stuff up. she really shouldn’t bc she’s already partially deaf but oooo funny explosions I should go near it #no little isnean girl don’t do that without ear protection!!!#i could ramble about all this for hours oooughggj I’ll spare you and just shut up now

sorry i keep talking about canada as of recent but actually. fuck danielle smith. i genuinely can’t believe i have to live in the province with her as the premier.

#shut up scott #even looking past the abhorrent laws about trans youth she’s passing (which as a trans minor i have every right to be pissed about)#she barely stands with her own fucking province???#with all the tariffs trump is set to impose where. ok alberta’s biggest industry by FAR is oil and gas #hell both my parents have worked in it and i lived in fort mcmurray for the first ~4 years of my life so i’ve lived around the big areas of #industry. are we good with how we as a province deal with oil and gas and the environment as a province uh. not really in a lot of regards #BUT. it is still the biggest industry here that a lot of people rely on to have a job in #and smith just??? went down to washington and turned a blind eye as trump repeatedly said all this shit about tariffs that could have a #serious impact on our economy??#and then obviously trump was like wooo canada we want your energy and then later basically told us to fuck off #genuinely fuck danielle smith. fuck her for turning a blind eye to something that could impact the lives jobs and wages of the people in #HER OWN. PROVINCE. fuck anyone who voted for her.#i’m so mad that i literally can’t do anything for another year and a half because i’m still a minor #but having that piece of shit be the leader of the province that i #a queer transgender minor with two parents whose jobs are tied directly to the oil and gas industry makes me sick.

Alright, Duchess. You've got two boys and two girls. You can stop having kids now before we run out of cryptosleep caskets on the ship.

Welcome to Baby Gangster, by the way. I'm sure Dire Wolf is delighted to have a sister at last <3

I imagine that Pro, being air caste, is getting a bit sick of wandering around the planet. She's ready and raring to go, and who am I to deny her? Start the engine!

We were immediately raided by pigskins, who were scared off by Pro herself (she's quite dangerous with that Pulse Carbine of hers!), but not before one raider managed to throw some grenades.

Unfortunately, Magic Man's beloved pet razorjack Dopey was caught in the explosion (and the second explosion when the raider and her grenades caught fire). Magic Man was understandably distraught at this unwelcome development.
