Who is this sassy lost child?
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#lan wangji#a-yuan#A-Yuan knows how to to utilise his big wet eyes to get treats. What a little legend.#The crowd comments about LWJ being 'daddy' and WWX being 'the mother' are a little too 'fan-service bait' for me.#So I am personally reimagining it as another layer of 'misinterpretation of a more complex situation' commentary.#I like how the different styles of interacting with children WWX an LWJ exhibit say so much about their own childhoods.#We - human beings in the real world - take two lessons from how we were parented: What we valued and what we wish we had.#LWJ leaning into indulgence is him pushing back against his own childhood of asceticism. It's something he didn't have - so he gives it.#WWX on the other hand has been *so* defined by his drive to indulge. And here he is the restrictor!#It takes a bit more to see what's going on here. The factors are not singular.#but to keep it in theme with LWJ; I'd propose it is partly his way of establishing structure when he did not have it as a child.#Both approches are a way of saying 'I didn't have this and I wish I did.'#With LWJ it's pretty obvious why...but WWX? What is at your core? What is your regret towards a lack of restriction?#Or...What benefit do you think it gives this child to learn the harsh lessons of going without?#Did it make you strong when you were a child? Do you think it is just the nature of the world and we all must learn it?#How we interact with children is such a fascinating topic to delve into our psychology and neuroses.#In a more light hearted turn of topic:#WWX confirmed to be 'person taking the car to the drive through to order one black coffee for himself' on the triangle spectrum.#LWJ is saying 'we have food at home' as he is opening his wallet ready to order for everyone.#(Technically this is comic 213 but yippee! We are in the 200's now! Thank you all so much for reading and cheering me on!)

ok im going to bed bc its late as hell here but i wanted to doodle parkciv finally
#here in artist civilization#parkour civilization#parkciv#little details in this i like are the shading differences in evbo and seawatt#seawatts shading is how everyone looks but after becoming god i like to think evbo like. just has flat almost cel shading#like hes insanely out of place. and his shading does NOT react to whatever lighting hes in. and he looks soo weird bc of it#evbos eyes go from green to tinted with the netherite purple :) based on a fic i read :) i thought it was neat :)#his stupid idiot protag ahoge turns into a weird halo thing.. uhm what else#oh yeah seawatt has a clock stuck on the back of his neck.. think like uhmm the idea that moles are where you died in a past life#but its LITERALLY a mark of how you died. like it can be anywhere on the body but its a mark of how you died. so seawatt has a clock bc#you know. The Race.#SPEAKING OF SEAWATT DETAILS post-revival he has like. no eye colour. its blank#his eyes are still clearly defined but its still Nothing There#if he was the first to be revived itd freak people out but i imagine evbo was dragging his feet when it came to seawatt#parkciv evbo is a hater at his core what can i say. well to me he is#ok done yapping my cat demands i get off my pc and sleep so she can yell in my face

for the word prompt: hanahaki, with lawlight
The first petal emerges with so little ceremony that nobody notices it except L. On screen the Yagami boy says, "Quite frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if Kira sees right through this."
The pink petal unfurls quietly in his hand.
L says, "Your son is clever, isn't he?"
-
The flowers come out wet. It's an ungraceful affair, but at least they're small.
When they're whole, the petals coil around in neat spirals. Sometimes they're buds, but usually they're just individual petals. There's a strength of emotion in what L feels, but yearning feels as much the wrong description as unrequited.
The flowers don't hurt, and after a while, they stop altogether.
On screen, Light Yagami blinks. He looks tired.
"Ryuzaki," he says. "What's it going to take for you to believe that I'm not Kira?"
Without turning the microphone on, L coughs once and expels nothing but air. Light stares beseechingly up at the camera for another long moment before he slumps.
-
L's throat stays clear until Higuchi seizes and collapses in the Chief's arms. Then, it isn't a petal at all. Light's shoulders are still heaving when L starts to cough. By the time he's spat up the irritant--one single yellow stamen--into his palm, Light's eyes are fixed blankly on the middle distance.
"Ryuzaki," he says quietly. Calmly, coolly, like he wasn't screaming himself hoarse only a second ago. "I want to check this out."
L coughs again.
-
The last petal emerges later, but it disappears into Light's palm, and L doesn't know anything after that.
-
(send me a one word prompt)
#hanahaki is usually such a straightforwardly romantic premise that it really stumped me for a second how to make it work with lawlight#so here it is. still maybe not romance but i think dubiously defined yearning works too#you know when the ship is lawlight but it isn't really light that L's yearning for#sorry L i killed you again#but im more sorry to light who got cucked in his own ship by his own other self#rookfic#death note#lawlight#thank you for the fun prompt!!#fun fact i have a Professional Email open in another tab and when i got stuck on that i swapped to write this and when i got stuck on this#i swapped to write email#so thanks this yaoi#OH i forgot to mention this but the flowers are begonias

🍦What’s the Tsumugi salmon mode ending trivia? (<- brain chemistry unironically changed because of Tsumugi)
Honestly it's less an Easter Egg, per say, and more, HEY HOW DO MORE PEOPLE NOT TALK ABOUT IT IT'S WILD
And after some more 'normal' dialogue, at the very end...
LIKE HELLO??? It's completely out of left field and the only moment like this in all the post game stuff. Super eerie there is something sooo wrong with her for this <3
#i actually find it really interesting shuichi describes the glowy eyes as the light fading#i mean they have more defined eye bags than her normal sprites so it makes sense#it just really highlights how much of tsumugi's heart and soul she put into this in a very grim manner#hey girl!!! you destroyed your entire existence for fiction!!#was it worth it?#also saw a theory that the reason she says this is because the bonus content was filmed first#hence 'i look forward to working with you'#tsumugi shirogane#shuichi saihara#ndrv3#new danganronpa v3 killing harmony#danganronpa

for how mentally ill i am about monster hunter and shara ishvalda specifically i sure am always noticing new things about them
#monster hunter#mar.txt#shara ishvalda#this is of course a good thing#when i just fought shara a bit ago i noticed that a) they seem to,at least with their front paws,stand on their toes rather than the full#paw (alatreon does this too,but on all paws instead of just the front ones)#which explains why only their back paws have defined paw pads#b) after their eyes open every time they do one of the ground liquefaction attacks you can see mountains/giant rocky spires in the#background collapse; i THINK all of the remaining ones collapse with their first spirit bomb? but i'm gonna check#also i didn't JUST notice it i noticed it the other night but i tested it last i fought them but they seem to Only have their jaw hanging#open when their eyes are open? they keep it closed when their eyes are closed#i'm honestly not sure why,my running theories are either it's some kind of reaction to their light sensitivity or its deliberately done to#be more scary/intimidating looking#but tbqh there is soooooo much about shara that i Do Not Understand. like how the rocks on their face twitch when they have their mantle on#but i am 100% fine with that i do not think shara is Meant to be Understood#god is beyond my comprehension and i am fine with that

i am really never going to understand why people post "shifting antis dni" in the astral projection tag. "here practice that constantly gets appropriated by us and used as a weird justification for a new set of beliefs that aren't really based in the same reality you work with, and that also gets completely misunderstood by our community because we don't care to understand what you do and just pretend we know it's what we do like christians saying other religions worship the christian god, have a post! Also dni if you don't like our practice that has nothing to do with the one whose tag we just shoved this into"
if you're not astral projecting don't put shit in the ap tag. if you don't even know the difference between AP and RS I dont think your opinion holds enough weight to counter the pushback against flooding a separate practice's tag with "if you dont like the practice I'm talking about in your tags dni"
#I mean on the other hand I sure am Not Interacting my god#Im not of the opinion RS isnt a thing. I know its a thing - its a complex programming of mental spaces that branches off of#actually. I wont say it branches off things. Its its own thing like autovisions dreams mindspaces and other simulations - but it is#ultimately mindwalking - or whatever term someone else would want to use I just coined that for myself. It's travelling and projecting#into the Mental Realm. which is. explicitly. not the Astral realm. It's still a thing! It's not lucid dreaming or imagination. Very much th#early stages of it and experiences of those who cant programme the reactive mental into settling are gonna be lucid dreams and#imagination - just like what happens when youre not good at AP. but like. it's. a fucking. separate practice#and i do not understand flooding tags that arent what youre talking about and then saying ''dni if you dont like what im talking about''#like yeah theres an element of ''dont blame people for how others treat them'' - its not a case of ''you piss people off and then expect#them to not hate you?'' its explicitly a case of... you are continuously misunderstanding AP and using it as a backing#for your own practices and mixing up the two showing you have fucking No idea what youre doing with AP... so how else are we#supposed to take RS other than ''its a complete misunderstanding of AP and clearly it isnt even developed enough as a practice nor#based on enough truth to have its practitioners have the slightest clue about off-plane and OOB practices... if this is what RSers think of#the world and how it works and this is the depths of their understanding of it I cant support Shifting as anything more than#fantasy with vague references to established practices used incorrectly as justification''#~abyssal murmurs#like. tldr. youre putting it in the way of a tonne fo Anti Shifters because a) youre putting it in the tags of an art your art steals#justification from and chronically chooses to misunderstand and walks all over and b) you're showing a complete disrespect to the#practice of AP by posting this in the tags showing that your ''information'' and ''teaching'' is so misinformed you think AP and RS#are the same thing... so of course people are going to see that and think negatively of your practice. Not out of spite - but as a reaction#in the way of you are showing us that your practice is shallow and misunderstood#Look! If i walk into a jewish theology lesson and the speaker is convinced christianity and judaism are the same religion#to the point that when they post on social media they tag both when they talk about either... it looks like that speaker is clueless if the#cant even getthe basics of ''So what is it that I'm teaching about?'' answered right. If you cant even define the boundaries#of your practice as ''this is our practice this isnt'' then why is anyone going to think what youre teaching is real and grounded#and worth listening to and anything more than a crock of shite based on sounding mystical and Love and Light and freeing#at the cost of turning your mind off to just Believe what youre doing is grounded outside the mental??? why would people NOT#see these posts and BECOME antis

aaaaaaa okey I ordered the speaker and the star projector. (and a beauty blender and a neck support and the new volume of yona and the garbage disposal cleaner matt wanted.) it was still only $35 actually out of pocket and I get my allowance in the morning which will completely replace that amount. I will definitely like the speaker and if I don't like the star projector arin will.
#yes this did take me an entire week#I don't like spending money. I like having money and I like having things.#but I must spend money to get things.#but I have had a very draining weekend and I deserve nice things and that's what gift cards are supposed to be for.#(frankly even if nice things do need to be earned which is a notion that deserves to be critically examined)#(depending on how one defines 'nice things')#(I have more than earned all the nice things I could ever want between keeping other people alive and keeping myself alive.)#(we glamorize Big Actions way too fuckin much btw but that's tangential off the 'keeping other people alive' thing)#(Big Actions often have the smallest fuckin impact tbh. they mean nothing without thousands of small actions.)#I very nearly didn't order the projector but it's late and I'm in my room alone and I turned the lamp off early#so that no one can tell I'm still up since my brother is still here#and it's just a tiny bit too dark for being awake purposes#only a tiny bit though#there's good light through the window because of the courtyard#and the projector has an auto-off#idk I think it's worth trying. if I like it they can give me extra discs for it for christmas#and if I don't I can give it to arin#the notion that I can try stuff without 100% Committing Forever is. not one I grew up with.#like. mom started me on piano lessons for my 9th birthday cuz I'd mentioned it at some point#and I faithfully attended every week (barring schedule conflicts or illness) until I moved away for college at 19.#you had to promise you really wanted something for real if you were gonna get it and god help you if you were wrong.#even though neither of us were prone to tantrums or greed even without those tight boundaries.#(and even though she did not hold herself to that standard at all from what I can see.)

So I started the dub of Fruits Basket again.
Forgetting, of course, that the primary theme is about life changing and having to be okay with letting go of the past even though the future is uncertain.
More importantly, forgetting that one of the main threads of this throughout the series is Tohru's grief (and guilt) over her mother's death.
....
Well, you know what, my therapist told me to engage with grief as homework the past couple of weeks, so between this and starting Anohana again I THINK IT COUNTS.
#musings#bandit liveblogs#bandit liveblogs furuba#i know i could have just skipped to when my murderous akii shows up but#fruits basket is one of my defining pieces of media#the manga more than the anime although the new anime does a FANTASTIC job of adapting it#(they cut a bunch out of the third season which feels weird after everything to that point is pretty much#an exact chapter by chapter adaptation of the manga#BUT#the part i was most upset about being cut got turned into the movie so)#but like#fruits basket as a story influenced so much of how i write and conceive of people and etc.#the manga is very much about everybody has reasons for why they do what they do#everyone is broken#even if they don't show it#even if it shows up in different ways#and i remember when it first started coming out how there was a group of us reading it who had our own characters#i was hiro (although i wanted to be kisa i think)#we didn't get far enough in before i moved#i know now that akito is me#in danganronpa terms - tohru is ryoko to akito's junko#akito is nothing like junko i need you to understand#but in terms of foils to each other and what they represent and how they interact with the zodiac#tohru is light and warmth and hope#akito is constrictive and dark and despair#i just#ugh i love furuba#i love furuba so much#noir is my favorite anime but fruits basket is my manga and left the biggest impact

might’ve accidentally girlbossed my way into an autism assessment
#like I had my neuropsych intake today virtually#and the proctor (?) is asking me the basics on my psychiatric and medical history#and then right after that’s done he’s asking my mom about my childhood development and she’s like ‘‘it was normal I think’’#and then WE start talking (and I’m staring across the room the entire time because I WILL panic if I have to look at them head on)#and we go from talking about my government-defined disabling anxiety to ‘‘how were you socially as a child? do lights and sounds bother you?#‘‘how do you handle changes to routine?’’ and I’m like I know where this shit is going#anyways he’s going to send both me and my mom assessments to take to speed up the testing process#and I stg if he sends me the RAADS-R I’m going to lose it

light yagami i like you so much and that is my personal problem
#rookposting#i keep imprinting on like... not the same guy but#idk you know how it's like almost nonsensical to try and categorise fish because a lot of the animals we understand as fish have little or#othing in common w ith each other like in any definable or scientifically meaningful way#but you could still point at a bunch of them and be like those are all fish. theyr'e different but they're fish#that's how i feel about my favourite characters all being some species of light yagami#i dont want to talk about this

What are you seeking?
Home
"i wish i could say i am a light that never goes out, but i flicker from time to time."
// oh, little one, you have burned for so quietly for so long, haven't you? burnt yourself out trying to give others light? wishing, desperately, that they would notice the way your hands shake or the wildflower bruises under your tired eyes. but they never have, have they? and so, it obviously wasn't bad? right? you had more to give, didn't you? how much could you pour yourself out before they noticed? it is all you've ever known, after all. help, help, help, help. (are you providing it, or begging for it?) but you've given too much, spread yourself too thin, didn't you? you are so heavy, so tired. you have spent your life carrying for others the way you wished someone would care for you. but you're worried, aren't you? that if you can't be what they need, if you can't be the pillar for others to lean on, they'll leave you. what you seek is home, a safe place to rest and be taken care of. and little light, you deserve it. you have earned it. you are worth more than what you can provide for others: you deserve the same care you so freely give out. they will love you all the same, honey. set down the world, and rest that weary heart of yours

it does NOT surprise me that there are SO MANY tabloid movies coming out being labelled as "documentaries" filled with "friend of a friend of a friend" claims or like heavily, heavily, heavily biased with a clear narrative the filmmaker wanted to push from the beginning that tells only one possible explanation of the truth.
usually if a documentary is trying really, really, really, really hard to make you think a certain way, it's a propaganda piece. you shouldn't have to force feed your audience the "right" opinion to take away from the film evidence. you should present the full story as accurately as possible with real historical evidence to back up the storyline and the audience will walk away with the right idea.
documentaries should not have an overly persuasive tone to them because you should be able to follow the facts to get to the right answer yourself. if you find yourself walking away from a documentary feeling nothing but "wow this proves exactly what i suspected to be true why arent more people angry about niche radicalizing viewpoint that most people find to be inaccurate" you should recognize that as the first step to being indoctrinated into extremist behaviors and thoughts.
#if someone starts telling me about how much they love watching documentaries and its all super emotional hit pieces on bad celebrities#im like BIG yikes and i stay clear from them emotionally like no fucking thank you#i am a snob about documentaries sorry and i have no idea if im right in my thinking i just think this is how it should be imo#yall should walk away from a documentary understanding how someone can come to the wrong conclusion about something#because the documentary should always present the opposing view point in as sympathetic light as possible#steel man the argument then use facts to demolize it#if a documentary about a controversial or political issue#documentaries that lie manipulate rely on emotional support rather thana factual support are bad imo#because it often radicalizes people to the wrong side once they find the steal man argument against ur position#there is a reason people believe certain things#for example my terfs are lying about the original definition of woman argument post#in it i accept the possibility that woman could be defined this way only if u insist on denying factual history#i explicitly state woman was a white female child because it forces well meaning terfs to investigate the truth of my claim#and it forces them to confront the fact that their argument against trans women can be applied to people they think are in fact real women#you have to be willing to engage with repulsive ideas to show why they're factually incorrect.#im not saying the tone has to be completely passive but you have to be FACTUAL with your documentaries.#i am genuinely of the opinion that the facts will convince anyone because all people just want to be right at the end of the day.

It's been four score and seven years and I still can't believe that ShawLuna not only wrote the vaguest magic system I've ever seen, but have its aesthetic be glowing colored balls
#rwde#and the most these guys really do w the magic is light shows and elemental bending#like. why even have magic if its going to be this BORING#M A G I C#like one of the most versatile things you can have in a story!!!#its rules its plot its aesthetics its character study its allegory its risk its reward its desire its burden#magic in literature can be fucking ANYTHING and EVERYTHING#and these clowns are like ''magic balls are super powerful and important i prommy''#im also like 90% sure that they ripped off harry potter for the ozma/salem fight#wouldve preferred if they ripped it off more considering how terflings magic system is harder defined than shawlunas#shawlunas magic system is so soft it cries at laundry commercials

People think magic in fiction is so ... unique and only a thing of fantasy, but if you think about it, it's fucking wild that we all have these little devices that display and relay messages and other content across the globe-- like including sounds, video, pictures...
And there's all this technology that goes into it, but if you took someone from a fantasy world and put them here, it would absolutely seem just as much like "magic".
Literally what system/fictive life is like sometimes LOL
#my posts#our power went out today for 3 hours and it was enough for me to be like wow isn't it basically magic when you flip a switch and have light#I'm a dark magic apologist so of course that's what I thought of#how would you define 'magic' anyway?#things that can't be explained by science?#which means literally things here would be considered magic in worlds that don't have them#anyway I'm a fictive with many sources so of course I think of things like this
