being obsessed with yakumo is a job and baby i’ve never called in a sick day!!!!!

#nu carnival #yakumo ♡#you could not pay me to ramble this extensively about anything else #but yakumo’s trauma?? his childhood?? his growth?? his fears and insecurities and how they affect his current relationships??#his abandonment issues and jealousy and darker desires???#and how he’s so scared he’ll hurt others even though it’s far more likely he’ll be the one getting hurt??#how he’s not violent or scary at all but after years and years he’s been conditioned to think he is??#the significance of his relationship with eiden??#the significance of his ‘platonic’ relationships with the other clan members??#how important his grandparents were in raising him??#how his desperate want to hide his serpentine features and be ‘normal’ is a perfect allegory for autism??#the fact that he’s been treated horribly in the past and yet still chooses every day to be kind??#how he probably definitely has bpd??#the burden he has to carry just because of who his ancestor is??#the fact that it almost seems like what he does doesn’t matter because the actions of his ancestor will always be looming over him??#how he’s been hurt so many times both physically and emotionally and yet his heart is still so open to loving others??#how he has a tendency to push down his traumatic memories until he thinks they no longer affect him??#and how even when he’s suffering because of that trauma he would still rather suffer alone than bother someone and tell them??#how slowly but surely he’s unlearning all of the harmful ideas burned into him since his was a child??#and how he’s learning that people do love and care about him and he’s not a burden and he deserves love and care??#and that the serpentine traits he tries so desperately to hide aren’t as disgusting as he was meant to believe??#that his dark desires don’t define or control him and that it’s okay that he has them??#that just because he has them at all doesn’t make him a bad person???#why he makes soup for his loved ones so much!!!! yes that is important actually #i will sit and write about that for hours and hours for FREE #my favourite fictional character of all time he’s so so real #he’s so well written and his trauma and growth are handled with such care and consideration

Protective wifey core

#beetlejuice cartoon #my art #claire brewster #beetlejuice #procreate #wip #I feel like most Claire content either makes her out to be irredeemable or only lets her grow by taking all her bossy traits away #While Claire becoming kinder is definitely a cornerstone in her growth with Lydia- I think there are personal strengths she could play to #I think her bossiness as well as her influence over social groups would make her a powerful leader #Which would be a perfect counterpart to Lydia’s wild creativity and outsider nature #Think about it… Lydia has the ideas to do super cool stuff- but her status as a weirdo would prevent people from taking her seriously #Hence a protective Claire could use her status to get others on board AND intimidate the right people into providing resources #Am I talking a little crazy?#Perhaps #But I think it’s a fun food for thought that I encourage others to try out.#What are some of your-all’s headcannons about Clairelyds? I’d love to hear them in the tags/comments!

thinking about them and banging my head against the wall again whats new. they are making me so emo. god. what the fuck

#ann plays fates #theyre like all i can think about rn #its that time of the year #i mean i think about them both constantly separately but its always when september comes #do i get hit with the laslow/nyx rarepair brainrot i think #that just lasts through fall and winter #not that im complaining. i think eventually i will have posted the entire fucking conversation #i cant help it. each part gives me a segment of dialogue to be ill about #i have ‘but with burdens so heavy dont you think we can lean on eachother a bit?’ on my wall #ROMANCE. TO ME (girl who is aroace)#also underrated thing about them i like how nyx flirts back #its more prevalent in their A support but shes so fun with him even beyond the bonding over traumatic pasts #i think with laslow he does a lot of flirting right bc hes laslow but a lot of the time its like #no ones matching his energy #i was gonna say match his freak but i dont think he has any freak if im so real with u #if he does its buried beneath five metric tons of shame and embarrassment #and i like how his… laslow-ness kinda gives nyx space to let loose if that makes sense #like he can match her maturity because he. you know. all of that #but hes still young and so she can find a little bit of reprieve from it all in his attitude and blah blah blah #if that makes sense #they r just so perfect. TO ME #ive only ever written and posted one thing for them but i have like five million (like six) things in my drafts i need to get back #into writing. rarepair hell gotta feed myself #also that was like two years ago it kinda sucks a bit but thats fine its called growth #i just miss them. i dont really have the brainpower to play fates but i have enough to think about them #i mean i played a little but ive mostly just been doing dumb shit with the class system and not rly playing the game #we’ll get to it #im supposed to be sleeping

A Collection of Spirital Ghosts, A Tribute to My Past

#hollow knight #hk ghost #little ghost #little ghost hk #my art #fanart #paper post #As the title my suggest these are soft 'redraws' of my first ever Hollow Knight post!!#I say soft mostly because these are more so inspired by my old work then remaking it #I won't get into here but I really wanted to acknowledge that I'm been in HK for over a year now #These game has meant so much to me in not my passion for art but my growth as an artist #And as always Ghost is the perfect vessel to express such a feeling

4/10/24 wt 195

I'm feeling a bit better after my vent yesterday.

My bloat from 2 periods last month has reduced.

I am just so ready for this Weight Loss process to be over.

I am happy with where I am, but I have at least another 20 to drop. At least. Possibly more.

And I seem to have been plateaued for a bit. Which I think is fine, I just needed time to adjust to the new body and the way people were reacting to me.

It has allowed me time to stabilize. And has proven that I am in a stable, sustainable place.

I am ready to get things moving again.

Doing meditations to move mental blockages.

Focus on consistency or intensity where appropriate with workouts.

(I LOVE working out but sometimes it spikes my appetite too much or I go too hard and need so much recovery time.)

Motiversity videos.

Gonna try some Journaling, coloring, nails & activities to keep my hands busy.... especially at night.

Gonna write new affirmations.

Make sure I am being reasonable with food choices, limit UPF, and clearly differentiate between an indulgence, an over indulgence and problematic binge behavior.

Fortify

Ah yes… years ago when I finished Persona 3 FES I watched The Answer on YouTube because in FES it was locked on Hard Difficulty and I only played the Main Game on Normal Difficulty so I didn’t have the Personas for it. I haven’t finished Persona 3 Reload yet cause health issues but once again I watch Episode Aigis The Answer on YouTube this time because I don’t support predatory DLC Costs. Things change but some stay the same lol.

#trash meme #persona 3 episode aigis #persona 3 reload #persona 3 fes #persona 3 #dlc #okay people keep complaining about the 2d cutscenes but they’re fine???#like maybe because I have over analyzed persona art #but the style of og p3 was sojima trying to mimic Kaz’s style #so I think it’s cool so see sojima’s insane growth and how’s he’s perfected his own style #like Kaz is very geometric and sojima is a lot looser #both are insanely good though #how nice of Atlus to release Aigis mental breakdown around the same time I’m having a mental breakdown

so it's like this.

you're young and you're scared and you're trapped in the feywild (happens to the best of us) with the love of your life. You're a half-elf and she's a fullblooded elf but you don't think about it very much because you're barely surviving day to day. And you get offered a deal to get yourself home again, and you take it. And the price of your freedom is that you leave her still trapped there, alone.

And then five years pass. And you age a century in that time, and you grow, and you change, and you find her again, and you're still in love, and you meet people, and you lose people, and you love them too, and you learn, and you start wanting a future again, and caring again, taking care of yourself, taking care of other people--

and after all of that, at the end of things, you find out the man responsible for all of the misery in your short, sad life has cast a spell which gives him complete control and ownership of you- mind, body, and soul (again. this happens to the best of us). And you are given the choice to stay under his thrall, and live a thousand years-- or to age and die, like humans do, and to be free of him.

And the love of your life is there, and you're married now, and she's still a full blooded elf, and you're still a half-elf, and you think about what that means a lot more than you used to.

And still, after everything you've learned-- you choose your freedom. You choose leaving her behind.

#dnd #dungeons & dragons #ttrpg #you understand why i am insane. about my dungeons and dragons character #the way that this all started because 'she' (clone. its a long story) wanted to be free from her small town & her family's ideas of her #and so she inadvertently left THEM all behind too.#like bro watch out i think the cycle is repeating itself!!!!!!!!!#honestly girlie has to learn that passing out of someone's life is not always a betrayal #like she NEVER got over it!#giving pesche a whole speech about how loss leaves a hole behind that is filled in by rage & grief & impulse & violence like #ok. well. loss is inevitable and i think you have a very fucked up way of looking at it that despite all of your personal growth has maybe #only gotten worse over time because now you have things you care about again?#like i think she made the right choice for herself.... if the lesson she had 'learned' was to subjugate herself to Ohdran for 900 years in #the name of not 'leaving people' again. that would have been tragic. learning that love is good and precious and it matters even though #you are inevitably going to lose it. thats the real lesson. and she is learning it. she HAS learned it! she's never going to hide herself #away from the world to avoid losing people again. but she hasn't like... attached the lesson to herself yet lol. 'i accept i might lose my #friends & even though it breaks my heart im still glad to know them. if i leave people (read: LITERALLY DIE) im evil tho.' girl...#i was pretty bummed about it at the time like we have been 3 years on the endless train of suffering cant she just have a happy ending.#one thousand years of elf marriage.#but this is cool too like MAN the kind of organic storytelling moments that evolve out of ttrpgs are so crazy. we couldnt have planned this #and yet. perfect full circle moment.#mm campaign #it's alive!#harris #fisher

i wonder if post god's menu stays realise how much of a shift that era was for skz? like obviously you can see retroactively by looking back at their discography irt their sonic signature, but i don't think people who weren't there can seriously grasp how big of a shock it was, they went from stan twitter's favourite punching bag to one of kpop's biggest up and comers practically overnight. they were already relatively popular by virtue of being a big 3 group, and they'd had a bit of success with miroh and less prominently my pace, but the absolute explosion after god's menu and their continued upward trajectory ever since was completely unprecedented for them. and especially given that they had JUST dropped a member. kpop groups do not tend to have massive spikes in popularity after losing members, and when levanter dropped we were all incredibly anxious for skz's future because it looked so bleak. we were crying cheering throwing up over ONE MUSIC SHOW WIN. ONE. they used to be less famous than everglow. do you understand me? are you understanding me.

#everglow's downfall has had kpop twitter's finest scholars scratching their heads for years #mismanagement and massive gaps between releases are probably the biggest culprits #but i think we all need to hold hands and accept that they were never going to be the next blackpink. the timing of it just wasn't right.#skz's timing on the other hand was literally perfect down to the millisecond.#i know we like to talk about how hard they work and all but i don't think we can discount how much sheer luck was involved #because i do not believe that jype or even the kids were paying that much attention to the timing of releases. like be real with me #and also their exponential growth in popularity as bts stopped being so active was not a coincidence at all #bts as a group stopped gaining as many new fans when they started solo activities and the members started military service #both due to a decrease in new music and their new music being so different from what made them appealing to young people in the first place #same with exo to a lesser degree because they never got as famous as bangtan #that left a vacuum at the top which skz stumbled into pretty naturally given their newfound and still growing popularity #all those new gen fans who were looking for the next biggest thing found skz #and with the sheer amount of content they put out they're the natural choice for a middle school kpop fan with too much time on their hands #i know that people still argue that txt is the biggest 4th gen boygroup but i'm not interested in falsifying narratives like moas are #< joke.#i know skz and txt were tussling for most popular for a while especially in 2020 and 2021 #but after kingdom it just stopped being a competition. you can probably still argue that txt are more popular in sk #but with skz consistently marketing themselves as a global group theyve never done as well in sk as they have abroad that's just the truth #im not on twitter anymore so i cant obsessively monitor the trends anymore but also i don't need to because skz have come out on top. LOL #5 years and im vindicated at last.#take THAT 2019 kpop twitter.... <- man who hasn't gotten over anything ever in their life

some lore for my vampire thing. vampire hair is strange indeed

#low stakes 🦇#my art #just an info page that got sliiightly out of hand hghdgf #instead of writing a wholeass infodocument like i did with the glowans #i guess i do comics for my flavor of vampires #vampires do transition if that's what they need but.... it's no perfect substitute for mortal hrt #it has its pros and cons #he grew taller! to his father's height!#but the growth of facial hair simply activated and that's it #he's passing really well but there's just That One Thing #and norse culture really cared about beards so like. yeah #he's mostly gotten over it. and besides it would take A While for any beard to be visible anyway when his hair is pretty much white #anyway this has been sitting in the drafts for way too long ghdjgdf #honestly already thought i posted this
