Is it weird to cry over your own love poetry?

Asking for a friend.

~~~~

Scarr'd Love

Your fear, my love, is drowning your desire

I can sense it

I know it of old

Like a childhood friend

Nostalgia has buried within our play that it was an escape

from torment elsewhere

But we are not children any longer

We've met our abusers to face

and called them

by name

The scars still linger

The fear still washes cold

through our gut

But come play with me, my love

No flood of nostalgia;

only the tumbling raucous

brook'd truth

of our love

~~~~

Me checking if y'all are properly appreciating my poetic genius:

forever obsessed w the fact that in bh lore vampires do actually die and stay dead for a short bit and then come back wrong. something that sadly never really gets elaborated on but that i find deeply fascinating bc it is implied that they remember the afterlife! which is such a cool and insane nugget of lore to give ur vampires like hello. also the implication that it scared the shit out of them, or at least out of mitchell..... can we talk about it!

mitchell eating his stupid fucking noodle box as hes waiting w the newly turned vamp to make sure he doesnt wake up alone and scared even though lauren mocks him for it!

mitchell making sure to remind george to NOT look at what's beyond the threshold when they are preparing to say goodbye to annie when her door shows up!

that little moment when annie decides to tell owen the secrets of the dead to drive him insane and george asks what that was all about and mitchell shakes his head so annie goes ahaha lol i was just improvising even though both her and mitchell know better!!!! thats their best friend who they will protect from the horrors of death as long as (in)humanly possible! they love you alive boy ♡

Nathaniel Benedict/Ledroptha Curtain (TMBS) and Count Olaf (ASOUE) are proof that mentally unstable former theater kids with sad backstories make the most entertaining villains, especially when their main adversaries are genius children they lose to every episode. And one of them is canonically a literal toddler/baby.

ngl i've been kinda surprised by the lack of veilguard stuff i've seen on my dash since it released - i've very thoroughly given up on it, but even ppl who seemed hyped about it have largely just... not been posting abt veilguard at all.

then i looked in the da critical tag and, uh, yeah. i can understand why. it's not an actively bad game, but it sounds to be very... shallow and mcu-ified? i'll admit i had basically given up on veilguard, but i did kinda want bioware to prove me wrong. not that i would've bought it anyway given the way they've treated their company veterans. it's just such a shame.

the thing about louis playing in so many festivals is that his music will finally reach more audiences that don’t necessarily know about him or his music. he deserves it. his music deserves it.

I enjoy both genshin and honkai star rail but I feel like people vastly overestimate why hsr is more 'generous'. giving out a free 5 star is great but they would not have done that if the playerbase hadn't declined since it first launched. they're not just doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. it's a business decision. and it worked on me, to an extent - i booted up hsr for the first time in months because I wanted dr ratio.

the reason genshin has always had pretty crappy rewards is because they can get away with it. the game blew up without them needing to be generous, so they aren't. I'd like them to give a free 5 star, and I think it's dumb as fuck that they don't have a standard banner character selector like hsr does (I'm coming up on 4 years with no jean), but the hsr devs don't do these things to be nice

while it does drive me mad that hsr has added so many good endgame combat modes while genshin never has, i think it's important to compare the relative effort that goes into both games. genshin requires way more investment. the combat system is far, far more complex and the development of the character animations is a lot more involved. the world design is also way more complex - hsr is nothing in comparison.

I do wish genshin would add proper endgame content, but there's enough going on in genshin that it's not essential. hsr does not have much going for it outside of combat. It's fun in short bursts, but it's never managed to get a grip on me like genshin did when i first played it

my interest in genshin has waned a lot, but that's mostly because I've got so many fucking characters now and my account is really highly invested. there's not the same incentive or need to improve, and I was always going to reach that point eventually. but I do think it's quite telling that genshin was so many people's first gacha game, because it shows that what drew most people to it was not the rewards. it was the features of the game itself. by contrast, I tend to stay interested in hsr only for as long as I'm pulling for characters and getting new stuff, so my enjoyment of the game is a lot shallower

they're fundamentally quite different games and there's a lot they could learn from each other. but I think a lot of people ignore that hsr isn't just....a nicer game with nicer devs or whatever. they're both predatory gachas, they're just relying on different tactics to get their players spending money

Humble request to other John Uskglass fans

So, I wanted to do some more art of the one and only Raven King but! I don't feel particularly inspired to work on the 666 ideas I have right now.

So! I came up with an alternative plan!

I'm gonna unite my desire to make fanart of the Raven King with my need to exercise with realistic drawing and recreate photos/ realistic paintings/ etc. while inserting Uskglass in them!

And this is the part where I humbly ask a favour to other Uskglass fans: do y'all have some cool (sfw because I want to post them when I'm done and tumblr will cuck me) reference pics you want me to Uskglassify? I'm thinking stuff like the other pieces of Uskglass art I made recently, but also something with more challenging poses/ composition (I really need to challenge myself more to improve).

If you do, you can share them in the reblog of this post, thus gaining my eternal gratitude! And when I'm done I will post the result here, so you get my eternal gratitude and a (hopefully cool) drawing! Yay! :)

(obviously, if other jsamn artists want to join me in The Great Uskglassification, you are more than welcome! See ya!)

I just think it’s silly that so many people complain about Villain Amaya as “wasted potential” and that “we were robbed” like-

My pals, post canon fan fiction is right there. The desire to free her husband is right there. Either by touching an evil book while being too eager to remember the obsidian oil, or being possessed by contact (ie what she believes is true loves kiss) when trying to reason with him in the dungeon.

We don’t need a rewrite, we can have a continuation. Both can be true. Amaya is a complex character, she can handle it.

Tumblr user Milan, I need your complete and honest opinion on robot balls.

from a pratical standpoint, they're redundant, but i'm not opposed to them. i've let them slip into my fantasies a few times.
