#i admire those who do

imma be so honest i dont like the whole "jenova was controlling sephiroth" theory. this yt comment described how i felt abt it perfectly. they said "I get the feeling that a lot of people who want Jenova to be the main villain are those that have some sort of admiration for Sephiroth and want him to be a tragic, redeemable character, rather than all-out crazy maniacal." or something to that effect.
and listen, i'm not all caught up, and im going purely based off vibes and what i understood from the story (all forms, mostly the OG). i think it's scarier to know that sephiroth's will and hatred was so strong he was able to overpower an extraterrestrial calamity. it makes him more villainous imo, and to have that all be flushed out by "well he was a puppet the whole time!!!" im just kinda like oh. thats a bit snooze but he's still my little doodlebop i wont think less of him, but its just more villainous to me for him to enact his will over something already so powerful.
TBH tho i love a game that encourages fan theories, but what comes with that is disagreeing or agreeing and most of all, discussing. all just a matter of opinion. i just dont personally believe that hes a puppet to jenova the whole time.
this is what the youtube comment also said:
"What I feel those people fail to realize is that is exactly why Cloud, and Zack, were so devastated at his betrayal, and why he is a strong villain. Everyone looked up to him, but he went insane and murdered an entire village (and then went all 'destroy the world' crazy). Although I do find it interesting that some people cling to the belief that even after doing completely horrible acts, they feel there may be a chance at redemption (or at least that there may be an explanation as to why someone they admire became a monster)."
i feel like it adds to his tragedy, and i also don't really want him to be redeemed. he's straight up villainous and i like that. i like my big boobed, long haired, beautiful evil gay (and possibly nonbinary) villain...........
#but im bad at theory discussions i honestly just vibe out#i dont really think much ab theories or theory craft myself#i admire those who do#requires a loooooooooooot of thinking and analyzing#which i like doing to a certain extent but#not into theory territory LOL bc i always worry im wrong anyways#but this is just what i got from the story and how it seemed to me#i also just really like that hes a capital V /villain/#ff7#sephiroth#just my opinion tho#i respect the theory bc damn is it fleshed out LOL

"i don't ship laios and marcille-" oh yeah same, their relationship is so much more compelling to me viewed through a platonic lens than a romantic one
"-like, marcille clearly hates laios" are we reading/watching the same series??? did you just stop after the first couple chapters??? look at their relationship development, that's her friend! her bestie, even!!!
#eliot posts#dunme#dungeon meshi#marcille+laios are so barry+taako coded. to me.#the anime is only at the beginning of their friendship arc but it's already so good#and as someone who has read the manga it only gets better from here#they love each other so much and care about each other's wellbeing and trust each other and admire each other's skills so much#i want to eat drywall over these two they are best friends#basically i have more in common w someone who says those two love each other romantically#than i do w someone who says they don't love each other at all#(well. assuming the former is serious abt their characters and not just boring tropey shipping main guy w main girl yk)

From my little speculation on Professor Ashwood usage of the correspondence to help with day to day tasks, the concept of a tea kettle set to self heat first thing in the morning is a fantastic idea, so i took my first gander at trying to come up with a sigil for it myself
(my electric tea kettle finally stopped working this morning and we have to get a new one ;-; )

another reason i think that xie lian felt an instant connection on the ox cart is because he and hua cheng both grew up in xianle.
there are maybe 4 people still alive that grew up in that culture. based on my own experience, you can pick up on things like accent, cadence, references, and humor that suggest a person is from the same place as you without consciously noticing it. that sense of comfort and similarity probably played into their instant chemistry.
#thinking about how they are bonded together by being the only people who remember their dead culture... augh it kind of makes me want to cr#as much fighting as fengqing do they are really the only people who will EVER understand each other's childhoods#which. aughhhh#there's a lovely modern au fic by heavensturtle called ''i'm just there to admire you.'' where they talk about chinese diaspora go read it#fics that mention paradise manor being in the xianle style also make me want to bawl. especially when fxmq notice it#other people that remember xianle: qi rong. jun wu. mei nianqing. yeah. none of those people are easy to talk to#buried deep in the xianle quartets heads are things like xianxia silly bands and xianxia nickelodeon and xianxia hi chew that LITERALLY#NOBODY ELSE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD REMEMBERS.

The erasure of the Usopp Pirates in OPLA is quite literally the worst thing they could have possibly done and I will forever be resentful for that.
#those kids are SO important for usopp's character#it's not even in a superficial 'he loves them they're his family' type of way but like#they're crucial to reaffirm his nurturing and caring/protective nature and giving him reasons to be the man he wants to be#he has people waiting for him in syrup village. kids he has influenced. kids who admire him. that's what a warrior is too#and to take that away from him is just. cruel#idk i believe that opla misunderstood his character deeply and i will forever hate that. turned him into just comedy relief#even if it was just b they're his family and had nothing to do with his personality and ambitions ??? since when is family not crucial here#opla acting as if those kids weren't extremely important in the manga and for usopp#look they showed up in the last chapter and i got emotional i adore them :(#one piece#usopp#opla#one piece live action

The last weeks Instagram thought it was a good idea to show me Acotar cosplay videos...like those vids in which men dress up as Rhysand and post thirst traps while the booktok and bookstagram girlies get all fuzzy in the comments..
How dare this platform show this kind of crap to me?? I despise everything about those books and I'm not sorry!!
#especially when it's men who just do that to feel admired#and that comments#i cant with those people#anti booktok#anti sjm#anti rhysand#anti acotar

TWST fic writers stop reducing Silver’s entire personality to just “sleepy boy who falls asleep all the time and is sooooo sleepy and tired and did i mention he sleeps a lot and also he loves his dad” challenge (impossible) (gone wrong)
#also if u portray him as LIKING sleep i will personally bite you#and before u say ‘oh but he really doesnt have a personality besides those traits’ that is incorrect#he’s blunt and honest to the point where he can come off as rude#he’s calm and collected and keeps a cool head even during an emergency#he’s a drama queen and often takes things too seriously#he’s not stupid exactly but can be very naive and doesn’t understand relationships very well#he’s extremely passive and rarely stands up for himself#he finds ways to blame himself for things that arent his own fault#he deeply admires and respects people who are strong and protective of their loved ones#he’s selfless and always tries to do what he considers to be the ‘right’ thing#he has a lot of trouble expressing his emotions and is insecure abt others not taking him seriously#he is so much more than just ‘precious sleepy boi uwu’#or atleast thats my interpretation of him idk u guys can do whatever you want#it just bugs me when ppl misinterpret his character so badly#this is what 2 years of hyperfixation will do to a person#twisted wonderland#disney twisted wonderland#twst silver#twst analysis#diasomnia#character analysis

I've been thinking about modesty from a specifically trans lense lately. I was taught that modesty indicates shame, that modesty means you're simultaneously ashamed of being human and having a human body, but also that you are "purer" because you adhere to a hegemonic idea of modesty. Frankly, I just don't agree with this, and it was very much steeped in the idea of specifically christian ideas of modesty.
Before I transitioned, I felt very unprotective of my body because it never felt like mine to begin with. I didn't really care what happened to it, and while I was modest by other people's standards, I certainly didn't feel it. Once I actually started transitioning (and especially on testosterone), I've found that I'm so much more "modest" because I've become protective of my body. There's this stereotype that trans people start "showing themselves off" after transitioning, but I honestly feel the opposite. I'm possessive over my body and exactly how it acts and appears because I actually like my body, and it finally feels like mine. I'm honestly kind of selfish about it, and I think I've earned the right to be.
I made this post because I think this is an interesting topic, and I think it's interesting the ways in which we internalize the influences that be. It's also a reminder that no matter how you feel about things like modesty, you should adhere to what makes the most sense to you and what you are most comfortable with. There are pressures to be modest in this way or that way, but what truly matters is what you decide with your body and yourself.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#modesty#like i was looking into swim pants to wear under my swim trunks because i don't want people to be able to see my legs for example#like... they're MY legs not yours. get your own legs dammit 😡 (joking)#and i found i have no shame about myself since being more 'modest' because i do it out of self-admiration#and personally i have no ties to the hegemonic christian sense of modesty and what i was taught living in a *heavily* christian area#that's not to say i have an issue with christians and what they feel is modest but it's more specifically the shame surrounding modesty#the idea that being modest indicates that you're a 'better person' than those who sin (wearing short shorts or swearing)#that's not inherent to the religion from what i understand but i don't agree with it personally#and i do not believe that modesty (or lack thereof) is an indication of ANYTHING about a person#it doesn't tell you anything about their personality or their interests or what they think#it only tells you how they feel most comfortable existing or behaving and even then you often won't know the complexities of that comfort#i have an issue with the ideas about modesty but i use the word because it is easily understood and it is the language i have available#if there's a better term or word for sure let me know but i haven't been made aware of it 👍#ANYWAY. i just think it's interesting#and if you're experiences are different from mine i genuinely respect you for it and platonically love you#and i hope you feel beautiful/gorgeous/handsome/cool and i hope you are comfortable <3

i want to say smthn but honestly no matter how i phrase it i just fear i'll sound bad/condescending which is not the intent. still i'll try n say something
basically it all comes down to a post i made eons ago; everyone feels like the odd one out. everyone. everyone feels like they're being pushed out by the popular people, whoever they may be. we all struggle with fear of being shut out and discarded. i'm not saying these fears aren't founded in reality; i'm just saying the feeling is universal for everyone in varying degrees
literally all we have is each other as human beings. this is supposed to be a space for us to enjoy a viddy game. the sooner we kill the us VS them mentality the better; the sooner we open up sympathetic dialogue the better. this is not aimed at anyone in particular, this is not vagueposting specific people, this is my plea for people to realise we're all in this space together
#maybe i sound dramatic idk. my heart's been sad.#i wont private but after the so many'th anxiety spike of seeing people i care about/admire vague abt each other or each other's post i have#considered it#but at the end of the day this blog is for me! this is the place i made to post my stuff for fun#and ill keep doing that#ill keep sharing work i come across because at the end of the day i love this game and the people who enjoy it as well#and those who make stuff to share that joy#head is loopy from meds but. <3. love you all#honeydew talks#take care and if you cant; im always open for a chat

lets think of everyone who had persona blogs and obliterated them off the face of the earth instead of just archiving and keep them in our thoughts tonight. everyone else who directly caused them into doing that go and fucking behave
#kommento#// talking about people I admire or just knew and realized the majority of the persona ones completely blew up what related them to prsona#// some started from scratch or picking up off of anything salvageable and are now living a better online life only to be haunted by#// those who knew them before and would rather not be reminded and just lightly brush away those asking because they genuinely don't know#// the games aren't all that bad and their flaws are of different circumstances that can only be explained differently from one another#// but that one scrap of the community can just tear away at your soul taking something you love and made with love to become fuel for fire#// it's clear when you've been scarred and everyone handles those scars differently. if they show them valiantly or still hide them#// in any other case. stepping out of your bubble you made around you reminds you just how horrid everything you blocked out really is#// it's worse when it seeps into the cracks you couldn't patch and it comes back to make you rot until you deal with it#// I know how others would just get up and abandon their blogs or accounts and let them be archived#// but with this community I fear they do their best to wipe that entire footprint off of the face of the web as much as they can#// and these people were the smartest and sweetest ever and handled the characters they love with care and consideration and love#// to be caught in the middle of a war they didn't want to fight for their characters or opinions that the best option was just leave#// my complete and utter fear to never get to viral heights and if I did I'd try to keep my anonymity as much as possible because#// the tales have been told scare me so much I don't want to experience it#// its been too long I really shouldn't be a hater about this at this point but something got me to pinch my nose bridge really hard#// well whatever. I'm glad I've made this space for me and for all of you. whatever you see this place as. a gas station or what#// everyone of you here warms my heart even if you come and go. I'm just glad I know I touched people's hearts and circulated#// my love for something so silly around other people

there is no real meaningful distinction between Art and Craft, however i personally can only do the type of Art that is also extremely Craft. i need to make physical things with my hands and use tools and manipulate little objects and hoard all the specialized knives. otherwise i will start biting.
#this is not remotely a value judgment;#digital art is SO cool and i really admire people who can do it#but whenever i try it is like. viscerally uncomfortable for me.#i feel unmoored#i need Things#the more physical the process the better#so the papercraft is Extremely good enrichment for scribes#drawing with physical media is kind of fun#painting and calligraphy are better#but things that involve construction or assembly are where it's REALLY at#especially if it's somewhat modular or repetitive#printmaking. papercraft. hand-sewing. book arts.#just give me your most fiddly and tedious craft projects#i miss typesetting. typesetting was lit.#thinking about this obviously because i had the most wonderful time gluing all those tiny paper fragments down#this is probably the neurodivergency.

Here they are!#ZEX is so empathetic to his human body <3 It's sweet! He wants his own body for lots of reason but that's among them! It's cute!!#It really is the worst situation for everyone :') Max needs his body back and ZEX doesn't want it and Dexter and DAX and - The Whole Thing!#DAX on the other hand lol#Neutrality to humans + being a bit self-sacrificing to the benefit of his Admiral = ???#DAX no (lol)#I imagine a Dexter wake-up (if he believed anything that happened to DAX Actually happened which - unlikely) he'd at least be like#''Would I really die for Max?? Like /that/ hard???'' Haha#I really like him using ''what the hell'' like - maybe more than would be considered normal lol#I still have that Vargas brainrot of who capitalizes deities and who doesn't - Dex does and Max doesn't <3#And ZEX does but is agnostic(?) - I'm fascinated by the religiousity! Cultural influence and understanding of self!!!#There have been So many times that I have wanted to write ''What the [expletive]'' or ''What on Earth'' but like - this is DAX!#Not Dexter! Not a human!#He wouldn't use those turns of phrase but he has the Energy of those sayings so what do fill in#I need a glossary of VUX swears#Hehe - VUX swear jar#Getting used to that new center of gravity! :D I imagine Dex as being shorter than DAX and Max is even shorter than /him/ so ♪#Last one was still technically a concept sketch but actually from an initial-writings so not at the institute but yes still Dex-DAX hehe#Where could he be!
