okay i need to know if anyone else has been devastated by a creature having different defining features in dungeon meshi than like childhood stories
bc i adore this series (i am showing So Much restraint not reading the manga and watching it with my family as it comes out) but the kelpie my beloved
her hooves were not backwards and its killing me (kelpies were the closest i got to being a horse girl as a kid)
the seaweed is very nice and accurate (i say this as if ive seen a kelpie (not the dog) in real life) relating to the stories where the kelpie is made of seaweed or the shifter stories where it becomes a handsome young man with an unsettling amount of seaweed or sand in his hair
and the tail is a very cool nod towards it being a sea (limnistic? is that a word? relating to rivers and lakes) creature but the defining traits are that shes got backwards hooves and shes probably sticky when you pat her
like ik itd probably be hard to animate backwards hooves but aaaaa (expression of misapplied and disproportionate injustice and disappointment)
look at how fancy they are (((right picture from ben-the-hyena here on tumblr they did a whole series of drawings of mythological horses as carousels and its so pretty))) (image on the left is described as a nykur which to my knowledge is a similar icelandic water spirit )
((also vaguely disappointed she didnt try to get the others on her back to show off her cool elongation abilities for maximum snack collection but thats not the point i was trying to focus on here))
#dungeon meshi#dunmeshi#please i wanna yell but no one i care about cares about this show the same way i do#and especially not about the kelpie#sorry also for the wall of text#but literally if you google search “backwards hooves” the first thing that pops up is how its a defining trait of kelpies#how do i get people to see this so theyll talk to me#kelpie#delicious in dungeon#<< wild who calls it that#anne the kelpie#< not a tag anyone will use but its fine we're fine#i could tag characters but that feels rude#this isnt about them#maybe senshi bc they were fishing buddies#oh well#at least the thoughts should be sufficiently out of my brain now

Hate thissss I feel like I haven't been properly productive today (somehow posting two art things Doesn't register properly in my mind) so I wanna stay up to get as much as I can down, but I also need to go to sleep in case I'm called in tomorrow because fuuuuuck going to work on little sleep that shit sucks. But also, the possibility of being called in makes me wanna stay up even more, so I can finish art in case I don't have time tomorrow. So now I'm sat up at 12:30 tired as shit but unable to draw or go to bed. The never-ending cycle of hell.
#ramblings#i wish they had someone else to call in on short notice. i dont hate coming in extra but i hate getting a text at like 7:10 when kennel#hours in the morning start 7:30. i knowww i should probably set a boundary but like. fuck#and you know what i wish my parents bothered to fucking understand how frustrating it is being called in so frequently#my mom specifically. i bring stuff with work up and its like a broken record. `if you go in all the time youll be seen as reliable!`#when i was talking about getting a day off to see my brothers marching last weekend she was like#`see what did i tell you? you make yourself reliable and theyll let you take off what you need` talking like i just asked for it off#after it had already been scheduled. girl i had to ask people to cover me still. i just#i hate it. i havent told her i told them i didnt wanna work clinic hours because she'd drill me about why#its just frustrating !! and when i say my genuine feelings its like she needs to correct me. like im thinking wrong.#this is why i had to fucking snap before setting the boundary of not covering clinic hours. because its always#`do what they ask every time because youll seem reliable` from my mom no matter fucking what. and then i already have issues#setting boundaries in general because i dont want to upset others or make them mad at me#ok sorry this has turned into. a wholeass vent. im just. at my wits end can you tell?#at this rate im really just getting nothing done. im going to bed#dont worry about me ill be fine. i just need to let it out and this is kinda my only outlet rn

frequently I will say to myself, especially in tourist-heavy times, i would like a more serious job at a more serious museum where members of the public do not keep touching me inappropriately
but, unfortunately, my coworkers are so fun and kind and have created such a positive little pocket of queer community that idk if i could bear to leave unless something big changes
#messages from the ouija board#sadies day job#i didnt get touched inappropriately today dw i have the day off#but we have new people who ive been giving advice to and theyre like ??? thats so scary ??? and the best i can do is like.#'just know if u have to hit a guest u will not be fired probably. like u can do whatever u gotta do.'#its not even older men who are the worst! u would think and theres usually one or two a week who say something gross#but generally i find its middle aged or older typically white women who have been the worst to me & my coworkers#they dont see themselves as 'threatening' so theyre the ones who have most often grabbed me#every female-presenting fat or midsize person on site has a story of an older woman touching our stomach#to ask if its 'real' or how many layers of hoops/padding it is. and theyll panic when u tell them 'thats just my stomach' or 'im just fat'#i do enjoy that fear in their eyes#the most violated ive felt w a female guest is a woman a few months ago lifted up my petticoat to look at the pattern on my marseille#(she was seated and i was standing talking to a guest behind her)#and i know outside of work id be comfortable wearing less than what she saw but the act of it really freaked me out

back to the trials and tribulations of I Dont Know How To Write Chenyas Voice
#GIRL HELP. everything i write for him is like 'ok ok placeholder this is what youll say but ill edit it to make it more chenyalike later'#LATER ME ISN'T GONNA KNOW WHAT TO SAY#chenya you cant even get banished from this fic i made you besties with one of the main characters..............#BUT i think the pov is USUALLY(????) gonna be cater. so maybe ill be saved. idk we'll see#im juggling so many characters in my brain i literally dont know what im gonna do#like i was thinking about it in the shower#bc i wanna have that subplot drama of jamil/azul and danarte when he shows up but like#HOW am i supposed to naturally do that#i did think a lot about one part tho. when i said i was stuck in a bathroom loop sjlkdfjd#i doodled out some of it. cater and jamil WILL talk in the bathroom at a social/party/whatever#i got a buncha ideas for that scene and itll be a good way to like#introduce the jamil/azul plotline#im thinking theyll be kinda in the background at first but then come more to the forefront in certain scenes/when danarte gets more involve#idk it's a crazy tangled dumb soap opera in my head#trying to actually write it is like. probably an impossible task#but i sure am trying#and FOR WHAT i do not think people will want to read it LOL#but. /i/ can read it kldsjflkjds#that being said. i also have some of my kalim/silver + jamil/azul fic written from nanowrimo#that one. theoretically i could clean up some of what i have and post as a first chapter#but ims cared LOL idk if im ready#what if i wanna change stuff. what if i wanna move scenes around. how much should i do. what if what if what if-

thinking more about tlou hbo and that ep2 cold open
while it was very good and effectively frightening.... with how theyve handled fedra/the fireflies so far im a little nervous they might be setting it up for the fireflies to be 100% in the wrong later instead of it being less clear cut like it was in the game...
#hbo tlou#what tlou fandom has been arguing over for a decade#which is annoying bc whether or not the vaccine works isnt even the point of the ending#also i have to keep in mind that we're getting part 2 as well so theyll have to set.... all of That up.....#the show has been very good but the parts i didnt like i Really didnt like#2/2 eps with endings that made me go 😬#im really afraid about sam and henry do NOT fuck them up craig#also in regards to my last hbo tlou post:#to the people saying 'it was SUPPOSED to be uncomfortable' would they have done that with a male character? im not so sure#just weird to assault ur female character in her last moments regardless of the 'welcome to the colony' vibe u were going for#i said i didnt care that they swapped out fedra for the zombies but also its weird how theyre handling fedra#and it wouldve been good to see more conflict between fedra and the fireflies outside the qz#it speaks#ok i think ive talked abt my biggest gripes#there are smaller ones but im being kind bc overall its been very good#also knowing that tess's character had already gone through rewrites for the og game im not surprised they took liberties with her scene#also while the show has been very good i do still think the story/characters/pacing were handled better in the game#which i like actually like the show has been nice for new viewers but also new stuff for og fans#and the game is still just a cut above so its worth checking out for any new fans#the performances in the game......are just so incredible#from everyone#and the game has so much more subtlety lol#joel looking at his watch directly he might as well have just taken out a pic of sarah and started crying#the unconscious touch of the watch hits me harder than him just looking at it...#oopsie im talking about the little grievances#bro i just love subtlety and i feel like its being lost these days#subtext my beloved

HRRRNGNGNRHG I THINK ABOUT VIOREL
#text#in a manor of speaking#viorel#something is. fucking wrong with him. in a way so distinct to everyone else#even amedeo and reverie were only horrible people because they were wrapped up in a grief they couldnt explain#even quest at least just needs some sense slapped into them and they still dont totally get what they did wrong but theyll try to do better#and none of them not even reverie held quite as much of a threat over everyone else than viorel#reverie was always player 2. there were things they Couldn't Do without viorel because they were designed for player 1#but viorel wasnt there. didnt remember. so those options remained locked for reverie.#viorel remembers now.#viorel has nothing now.#and the only thing stopping him from ruining things for everyone is the barest bit of self restraint. of hesitation#and nobody knows how to get him away from that. nobody wants to try. hes so difficult to talk to.#and i dunno how to get him to not reset everything yet!!!! which is a problem for me and every single person in this story!#because unlike reverie and amedeo and quest and everyone else. i dont know if viorel CAN improve himself.#he is so fucking stubborn. he is so fucking entitled. he cannot just be convinced to care for people because he DOESNT#how the fuck do you talk him out of that. everyone else had people who loved them supporting them through their redemption.#nobody cares about viorel. he never gave them a reason to.#..................wait. no#no holy shit thats not true. peach is equally as stubborn as viorel is and also sees him as her dad#and its a lot harder to argue with a stubborn 10 year old who doesnt understand why you wont just be nice to someone#oh god i gotta think about this

someone: hey dont be mean to others on my behalf! be kind!
their fans for some reason:
#.txt#i feel real bad for creators with large fanbases#because no matter what people will take one thing you say and drag it in the complete opposite direction of what you meant#and make needless assumptions#and then theyll go be assholes to other people#how do you have such closed minds that you dont see yall are the part of the problem actually?#this is meant to be about one specific thing but fuck it this applies everywhere else too#ive seen people get into civil disagreements and the fans of one of them will take that inch and run a mile with doxxing and hate#like what the hell actually#dont fucking speak for a creator on their behalf because you dont fucking know them#dont act like youre some all knowing leader of fandom and you get to tell others what to do#stop making assumptions and running with them when youve never ONCE talked to that person in the fucking first place#this makes me so mad because it resembles how allistics will talk over autistic people and misinterperat what they mean all. the. time.#acting like they cant say what they need to on their own#without fucking fail#like shut the up#SHUT UP#sorry moots if yall read it this far im just#mad#big feelings for slow brain

I think one of the biggest issues I have is just assuming that Im a back up friend to everyone
#dgmw! its never been a big deal I dont care much and I understand#and this is gonna sound edgy but i find it difficult to feel emotion that isnt really intense? if that makes sense#so i dont think i realise how lonely i am a lot of the time ://#idk. its weird.#I see people at school I would consider myself quite close to because in reality i have like one close friend#and seeing them be so close to their friends hurts a lil yknow?#not mad at them obviously just. around them#Especially when theyre dudes. theyll never understand how jealous i am of them#or that one friend i really enjoy spending time with who admitted to ditching me for their other friends after lying and saying she forgot#again i wasnt mad at her because I understand but. i cant help but feel like Im doing something wrong#im glad she was upfront and honest with me because thats all i ask but i just. UGH#And all the popular kids at my school are actually friendly and nice and funny#But all I can talk about is how to train your dragon and stare for way too long trying to figure out what to say#Its frustrating because I know its not their fault and like. thats the worst part.#All the people at my school who talk to me Im genuinely flattered that they enjoy my company at least a little bit#When I hit the age of 8 and realised I wasnt good st making friends and stopped trying I just. god.#I understand what I'm doing wrong but I dont know how to change without being thoroughly exhausted#and id rather have energy than be liked but#I dont know. I just wish people liked me.#Again I GET that people my age are just assholes and thats part of it. thats why ive never cared abt no one ever crushing on me because#i have a belly and arm hair and a flat face and cellulite and no jawline and thinner eyes and leg hair and a resting bitch face#and I find some of those traits endearing but i know teenage boys wont#its upsetting. i dont know.#all it takes is not being accepted by one (1) guy to be back to being four years old wondering if my dad wouldve stayed if i were a boy#.#Idk. Ill unpack this later (lie)#oversharing on main#rant#vent#apollo says stuff

bpd is actually so crazy i cannot tell you how genuinely intense everything feels.
i get so, so upset during episodes over the smallest of things. it isnt just "oh im sad" either its fucking cutting myself, wanting to die, hyperventilating and begging and pleading and making a plan to kill myself because what im feeling genuinely seems like the end of the world. theres a void inside of me that can only be filled by a love so intense that it drives me to insanity. i will overeat, spend unnecessarily, hurt myself, cling and depend on people who give me the slightest bit of attention, send suggestive things of myself to others, and put myself in dangerous situations just to feel something. that void can only ever be truly filled by an fp. without one, i feel so, so empty. i truly feel like im nothing without them. their whole existence, getting to see and talk to them everyday, getting to be with them, is the whole reason that i continue to survive. the moment theyre gone, even for five minutes, its back to nothingness. i cannot feel without them, i physically cannot bring myself to. but having a fp is so, so painful. their mood determines mine. how they treat me will determine how i feel. everyone else compared to them feels miniscule and unimportant. i could be seriously harmed by another person or admired by another person and it wouldnt matter, because the only person whos opinion of me matters is my fp. i would cut off all of my friends just to be with them and them only. i would do anything to stay with them. and when they leave, you have to understand that my whole purpose has been torn away from me. my whole reason for continuing to live gets fucking ripped away from me. and when they ignore me? i put myself in dangerous situations, i hurt myself, just so theyll come and find me and save me, take care of me, feel bad for me. i try to make them feel the same pain they make me feel by ignoring them, purposely triggering them, trying to get back at them. i hate them, because what could be more important to you than me? i put you above all else, why cant you do the same? nobody else, nothing else, should be more important or as important than me, because thats how i feel about you. and fuck, it hurts so bad knowing my partners will never feel as intensely for me as i will for them, unless im their fp. it hurts knowing that theyll truly never feel the same level of obsession and want for me that i feel for them. that theyll never be able to fully return those feelings. but its so hard being mutual fps with someone. it drives you insane. it can lead to horrid situations.
bpd is so, so hard. i hate this disorder.
#bpd#actually bpd#actually borderline#borderline personality disorder#bpd fp#bpd blog#bpd shit#bpd problems#bpd safe#bpd thoughts#bpd vent#bpd favorite person#bpd feels#bpd meme#bpd life#bpd mood#bpd splitting#bpd stuff#bpd tag#bpd things#borderline problems#borderline culture is#borderline blog#borderline pd#borderline thoughts

i AM odio's #1 fan this is absolutely true every day i hang out on his shoulder and call him gorgeous as he seethes for a million billion years. anyway anyway i was actually relating it more to the 4th wall breakery like. ok this requires a bit of context but to make a long story short i have a lal musical au in my head idk if its even an au i just want live a live to get the day the night slept-ed yknow. and before i watched ptutu it was just "hehe what if everything was a musical so i could see my favoritest man ever sing the deeply threatening orchestral metal ballad i know he has in him" but after ptutu it gave me inspo for a Setting. for Themez.
bc like. ok now im thinking if this was an actual Musical. what if odio was an observing 4th wall breaking narrator. like drosselmeyer. excusing the fact that a 8+ act musical would be the longest fucking thing in the world, this could also be like a show or something as long as people are singing, like. you wouldnt Know its him you'd just hear the voice of a pretentious and evil british man between breaks in episodes or whatever, popping in to point out all the tragedy in the future that our heroes dont know and cant hear and making Sure to pay extra attention to parts of the story that corroborate his ideals.
see the thing is that unlike drosselmeyer he didnt Write the stories. he knows what will happen in the story and he Hates it and as he narrates it you can Tell how desperately he wants it to take a turn, for the main characters to experience the same loss and betrayal he has, and at the inevitably happy ending of every story all he can do is Seethe. this is nowhere close to the first time he has read this story. in fact he has read all of these So many times, planning out exactly how he would twist them and only letting his spite grow stronger. and at one point (his version of the DoH) he finally does do as the in canon dialogue says and Rewrites The Tale. and we know how that goes. when he has gone and rewritten it, all hes left with is a bunch of crossed out lines and weak, self-fooling vindication.
i got off topic. basically ptutu just made me think of a new fun way to view the narrative and how odio would interact with it if they let him have more lines. i also think he would narrate the normal dominion of hate for the record it'd just be audible to the protags there, since he's not just. seething to himself there. it'd be less like narrating more like talking directly at the protags. kind of a mental loudspeaker thing thats actually somewhat canon actually with the "o foolish child" bit at the beginning. just let that happen more often.
also for the record if this was a show or something we definitely wouldn't see the narrator until the end of the middle ages chapter where he closes the cover on his own story. i also dont actually know if he would narrate his own story. i think it'd be fun if he did so you could see the Reminiscence the Drama. the clear and obvious favoritism to his own tale. but also if it werent already incredibly obvious who the narrator was i think thatd only confirm it even if oersted Did remain silent in the retelling. so realistically id think there'd just be no narrator in that chapter until oersted's final monologue kicks in, maybe instead of letting oersted read that part odio narrates it and that's the kicker. idk. anyway. yeah. i think odio should have broken the meta fourth wall to interact with the narrative more. he knows the narrative intimately after all. it fucked him over.
hi did. did I tell you where when I was watching princess tutu and thought "oh this is making me think about odio mclivealive.". because it made me think about odio mclivealive. i already had a lal musical au but it only added to it. ough.
OF COURSE YOU DID i am racking my stupid brain to make connections and. um. hm. i guess i KINDA see it in rue?? or like the themes of giving up? and of course Doomed By The Narrative is just odio mclivealive but. im kinda curious about YOUR vision here because i am not odio's #1 fan unlike you
#yknow that bit of tutu where drosselmeyer pulled her into the inner workings of the story#the doh is just odio pulling everybody into his own... its not too far off...#also with this it doesnt really Have to be reading explicitly to the audience?#like it definitely could but it could also just be. him reading all the chapters to himself and Seething.#ideally in actual format itd be a lil bit of both#most of this is just me wanting more odio dialogue#i am fully aware the man is autisti- a silent protagonist but like#the guy LOVES to monologue. he loves talking at people so bad.#he doesnt ever actually talk To people. like. at all. in canon.#so this feels like a good middle ground#for the record his narration isnt explicitly antagonizing you know how he talks in the normal canon#like dont get me wrong hes evil as hell but#more believing that the protags are misguided children who could use a lesson in sympathy for the devil#only actually giving up on showing them his viewpoint around his boss fight like in the main canon#though re: the protags can hear odio in the dominion of hate i do have a Very funny subscenario in my head#where odio's monologuing again and nobody is listening really and akira leans over to the nearest party member and goes#'hey do you wanna see something funny' and doesnt wait for a response. focuses for 2 seconds. ground immediately starts shaking violently#and a very loud 'AUGH' goes over the DoH's mental loudspeakers as akira is absolutely losing his mind with laughter#because he just psychically sent the Big Evil Conspicuous Presence to the east a mental recording of 'i staple tapeworms on my penis'#alternatively any 100 gecs song but i havent subjected myself to enough of them to say which.#while i Have had the misfortune of hearing passenger of shit.#dont ask me about actual songs in the musical i havent gotten that far#i can see odio and oersted having a couple of duets and that concept makes me feral#do i mean oersted dueting with the presence of the lord of dark? the narrator? the embodiment of his hate in sin of odio?#Yes !#the odio identity debacle is just the best isnt it#i can see an oersted/sin of odio Fight Duet definitely at least#like. specifically both of them singing two completely different and clashing lyrics and occasionally theyll get the same Word and harmoniz#my only good example of this is my eyes from dr horrible just trust me#live a live spoilers

hi! i just saw your post about your struggle with addiction, and it really resonated with me i guess, and i hope youre doing better now. ive been struggling a lot with being,,, lets call it ‘reasonable’ about my weed consumption and im feeling so overwhelmed trying to slow down with it and so ashamed that im even struggling with this in the first place, do you have any advice from when you first realized you had an addiction and like how you went about dealing with it?
im just really scared to ask my friends and family (outside of tumblr) for help because i worry that itll change how they think of me, or that theyll start treating me differently or something, especially because my parents are the ones who keep enabling this.
if youre not up to giving advice about this sort of thing i completely understand, and obviously our experiences and vices are very different, anyway sorry this is so rambly, and i hope you have a lovely week :)
An addiction counselor or a therapist might be better than me but I’ll try.
What has worked for me in the past with some things is removing the thing from my life completely and then later when I’m better seeing if there’s a healthy smaller way I can bring it back into my life.
Sometimes there isn’t. When it comes to opioids for example I can’t have those even once or my addiction immediately reactivates. Like with me it’s so fast. I become dependent on them immediately. Same with self harm. Hurting myself leads to my brain immediately wanting more of it to get rid of my emotions and it’s bad for my health so i just need to not do that.
When it comes to gambling and mobile games however I’ve been able to find a happy medium with that. I have maybe two mobile games I play that I don’t spend money on and I play more one time purchase games now without micro transactions. With gambling I put a hard limit on myself at 20 bucks a month and for the most part I’ve been able to stick to that.
Also I know that if I drink alcohol more than twice a week I’ll become addicted to it because I can feel it happening. So I just don’t drink more than once or twice a week.
You don’t have to go cold turkey. That doesn’t work for everyone. You might carefully measure out a ration for yourself for the month or week. You might not even have to give it up entirely. Or maybe you might.
I’ve found that talking it out with people in your life you trust can be helpful. The hardest additions to beat for me have been the ones I’ve never told anyone about. And part of the reason I’ve never become alcoholic is because I’ve told my friends and family about my problem and if I have more than three drinks at a party they know to tell me to cut it out.
I’ve found in general that people are more understanding than you think they’ll be. And if they aren’t then find someone who is. Even if they have to be a therapist or something.
I think the worst thing you can do when trying to beat an addiction or if you know you have an addictive personality is to isolate yourself. If you’re alone then it’s just you and your thoughts and your thoughts are what got you into this in the first place.
There’s nothing to be ashamed of if you find quitting hard. Addiction is hard. It messes with the pathways in your brain. It’s okay if it takes a while. Just keep trying.

erod and his adventures with finnish media aka i think my job is to make mikksy giggle and provide emotional support and i will do my job well!
"imma support you" he says as he gives mikksy a good back pat so he understands that heres here for him and is making space for him. mikksy nodding along like yes very well i expected this thank you you will be the court jester by my side yes
their banter is so toptier "youre half finnish" and erods absolutely JOY when he processes it that he got mikksy of all people admitted him as half finnish like yeah you ARE RIGHT. I AM. I KNOW THE MOST FINNISH ON THE TEAM FOR A NOT-FINN the absolute pride that puffed up in him as being admitted into the finns i did not have mikksy teasing erod about being half finnish in my bingo card and yet here we are
mikksy interupting the finnish reporter just to get one last dig in "you can answer too" and erods just utterly delighted mikksy is being this playful i absolutely cannot stand the way they both look away (mikksy at the reporter to lock back in, erod to giggle into his lap before he cant help but look back at mikksy and their eyes meet in a beautiful- i have to stop myself here before i write romantic prose) and mikksy immediately taking the smile off his fave to focus because YEAH YOU NUMBSKULLS YOURE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERVIEW YOU ARE NOT AT A DINNER DATE GOING WHERE THE MOOD TAKES YOU. FOCUS. LOCK TF IN.
when your secret husband teammate starts actually focusing on the interview and youre alone to your own devices listening to all the finnish and going from happy to be here! to oh dear god what are they saying my rudimentary finnish can only take me so far. you can see the way the cogs in brains are turning slowly and he's trying to recall words hes learned to get any semblance of whats being said but its fast paced for him he just gets lost and the big ass grin he got from mikksy teasing just slowly starts to fall...
not a single thought in that brain of his... the lights are on but no ones home...
the many faces of erod as he tries to say the only finnish words he knows "ah can i go now- no."
nows my chance i can make my secret husband ah i mean teammate giggle see i know finnish look how well im doing please look at me! "kiitos" he looks like a puppy waiting for approval and he got it mikksys proud little nod like yes thats a word good job you remembered and you used it in a- well certainly in a context not really the best context- you know what it doesnt matter good job
this is what i imagine its like when you take your secret husband teammate home to your parents and are like "okay after the several months of finnish lessons ive drilled into you to make a good impression on my parents so they like you and see youre assimilating my culture into our relationship and respect us do you remember what to say?" "kiitos :)" "...good enough. youre canadian its okay theyll be impressed with that. just sit there and look pretty and let me do the talking okay dear?" "kiitos :)" "just like that sweetheart keep it up 👍"

Lily: "Hunter is a boring white boy who takes the spotlight from the other poc characters!"
"Okay, that's...that's not really a sound argument, but whatever, if you dont like Hunter, why don't talk about the other poc characters in the show? Why don't you talk about Luz?"
Lily: "Luz has become an angsty teen, I mean, I get that she found out she accidentally helped a man who's literally planning to commit a g3nocide of witches and take over the human world, but seriously, why is she sooooo annoyingly depressed ? 🙄 The only appropriate response is to be angry and hungry for revenge, or work on the portal tirelessly and neglect her friends and family, only THEN it's appropriate for her to be upset and sad."
"That's....that's not- whatever, then why don't talk about Gus or Willow? You said they've been sidelined in the show a lot-"
Lily: "Gus has been sidelined a looot, he's such an interesting character, I love him he's such a cute kid, but I'm NOT making a video on him, or really talk about him much unless it's to mention how sidelined he is. And Willow should've been Luz's girlfriend instead of Amity. Willow and Luz had more groundwork for a relationship! *shows one pic of Luz and Willow holding hands*
"Wha- No, they didn't! And what's wrong with Amity being Luz's girlfriend?!"
Lily: "Oh, nothing, they're both so cute and lovely! This is the gay rep in cartoons that I've been waiting to see for years!....buuuuut, the only reason why Amity's popular and liked within the fandom is because she's white. She doesn't have a real personality. Her only trait as a character is just abusive parents and being Luz's girlfriend, that's it. And whenever people show art of Lumity, it's ONLY focusing on Amity, never Luz, and theyll think shes the main character instead of Luz, and when I found out about the show cause I saw a clip of Eda, and i thought she was the main character, only for it to turn out to be Luz. That was my experience finding out about the show, therefore EVERYONE will think Amity is the main character instead of Luz and will be surprised that Luz is the actual protagonist."
"....You do realize people like Amity and Hunter because of their personalities and struggles, right? Heck, some people find Amity's struggle with abusive parents relatable. Same thing with Hunter, a lot of fans, and me personally, love Hunter because of his arc of growing up indoctrinated and escaping the cult he was raised in -"
Lily: "No, no you don't."
"Do...do you not have no counter argument to what I'm saying? You do realize you can't just say "no you don't" to arguments with people?!"
Lily: "Yeah well, the only reason you like Hunter is because he's an angsty white-"
"I'm literally black."
Lily: "You're brainwashed"
"????"
Ya this pretty much sums up Lily's TOH takes in a nutshell.

do you hate knife as a character or what the fandom/his relationship with suitcase has turned into /genq
both
theres aspects to him i enjoy though usually its paired with another character's interactions with the general juvenile violence in season 1 - early season 2. knife and trophy's whole deal is so ridiculously stupid its laughable but in an enjoyable way where im kinda entertained. it can make for a lot of funny interactions that are just jabs at one another (and trophy getting the short end of the dick which is always funny). he and pickle are fun too even without the romancey shippinf component, they can be at a base just stupid gay bros that chill. while he was caught up in mic's business and did lend a hand in her arc, i do prefer how it is now where again, its just slight jabs and non melodramatic fun (add in soap to grill his ass, soapmic knickle video game sesh and soap is crushing everyone at it like hell)
however its the push of him needing to be this "philosophical deep guy who analyzes everyone correctly and its soooooo interesting how much hes changed" that really irks me. because i honestly dont buy it and just see a man who self pities under the guise of "learning and growing i help others now because ive changed". hes like balloon to me in that sense except hes able to keep it composed and together without becoming outwardly desperate. its honestly irritating how much of an involvement he has now and again, how much of a push there is to him being in the top 2 after "all his growth". i just dont give a fuck. why should i give a fuck about a man who burnt and harassed and bullied and tortured a woman in season 1 for fun, and had others try to join in on it too? and the GALL of him to even apologize to marshmallow for it too LOOOOOL... "ohhhh poor me im sorry marshmallow for hurting you before" pussy couldnt even state what he did to her, weak ass self fellating apology im SO glad marsh didnt accept it and was NOT kind about it in front of him. she shouldve start throwing rocks at him. all this "change and teaching" i will never forgive that man for what he did to women
not to mention, how practically of little to no help he was towards suitcase who, was dealing with bigger issues than he was as if hes fuckin get it. such bullshit advice and "lessons" hed tell her when its like dude, shut the hell up!!! youre saying the dumbest shit and still pinning it all against her somehow when shes been tossed around her supposed alliance because those 3 idiots couldnt get shit together for once. that AND her psychosis coming onto the foreground of it all of course shes not gonna talk about it further because you keep pushing in shit that she has no fault in, as if shedve trust you with that. its sweet that theyre working now against everything now but god lol, i just dont buy their newfound ammends and friendship of sort personally
what the fandom has done is REALLY hyopcritical. now im not gonna say its every single person who does this, nor am i a fan of monolith-ing (?) a group of people because of a common pattern, but its just really REALLY funny seeing people going after pairings like lairy or whatever saying its "proship" while shipping a man who has a history of violence on women with a psychotic woman who he has offered piss poor assistance to in the name of his own weird beliefs of changing and helping. idgaf for discourse around a bunch of pixels over trivial shit that really isnt THAT big of an issue (lairy discourse), especially because well, theyre wrong as fuck, but how are people gonna say one thing then turn around and do The Same Shit under another flavour. knifecase is such a kick in the balls to women and another example of how fandom greatly prefers men over women WHATEVER the situation is. theyll fawn over a man whos done shit and think "yeah hes my poor onglydoople poop. only HE suffers in this work of media" while greatly ignoring the issues the women in the same piece of work deal with by writing (misogyny) and circumstances (misogyny again). this world is founded immensely on misogyny and we're never getting the fuck out of it and while yeah im ranting about object character violence being sexist/misogynistic, you gotta get that its all a repeated pattern of these behaviours these mentalities this culture. you can argue one thing about writers intentions and beliefs, we dont know these people well enough to point fingers and label. however, how are YOU digesting it? shitting it out? what is your overall take and without using gay fandom buzzwords and misogynist thinking describe the women in the show (rhetorical)
