#i can really do without people like you

[dearweirdme]

I mean, you've got people in your responses literally proving my point by making excuse for why jk gives back half the energy that he gets from tae so you guys know what im saying is true in that something is legit coming off as one sided here and that jk isn't responding in kind and rather than admit it, you'd all still rather sit there and push the idea that it's just tae being over eager, clingly and bold while jk is undermining him and playing everything down to protect his own feelings. Like wtf kind of healthy relationship is that supposed to be?

And if you really think that jks cold ass response to tae's appearance and the sniping over the editing comment plus the implication about tae taking the tone from serious to not serious about music just by being there after he cracked the same kind of comment in the same kind of tone the other day on the live was a 'joke' then I have a bridge to sell you.

Jk has literally outright said that he keeps an eye on what's being said on social media and he's still pulling this kind of shit in the year 2023.

You know the real reason why none of the other members got called out for appearing on each others eps? because none of them had another member literally sit there and tell them to haul ass outta there.

I don't know wtf his problem suddenly is with tae but it's becoming increasingly obvious to ppl that he has one.

Y'all can say whatever shit you want about what I'm saying but I'm legit in that I still ship the possibility of this couple so I know that its gotta be niggling at some of y'all too how much tae is trying his best and getting stonewalled in response. The only reason is bugs me so much in the first place is because that's supposed to be his man (and i believe he is) but he's not moving like it at all and then clowns on the timeline are like 'aww, kekeke, how cute' over his shitty, dismissive and thoughtless behavior.

What do ppl want from jk? How about to not be so obviously bored, bothered and bitchy whenever tae tries to do something nice for him? How about he actually considers the shit he's reading on socials and stops laying bait traps for his psycho stans to jump on? How about he stops echoing and implying the same rhetoric that tae antis are peddling to accuse him of being everything from an attention seeker to a stalker? Like when Tae simply mentioned he liked the idea of doing a live with jk in response to an army and jk in his own live still interpreted it in a way that implied he felt like tae was just talking about it for clout and that's why he hadn't mentioned it to him.

Deny it all you want but lately his ass has been playing hot and cold when it comes to taehyung which is fine if he'd stop setting him up so damn much.

Alright anon, I was seriously about to block you last night, and I absolutely will if you come to my blog again with an attitude to this. I'll go through your ask a bit to point out my problems with things like this.

I mean, you've got people in your responses literally proving my point by making excuse for why jk gives back half the energy that he gets from tae

It's not excuses anon, it's what is normal and logical. You are the one making up a harmfull narrative here. Our responses to your (idiotic) misrepresentations of moments are because you are the one mistaken here, and it's just obvious to us that you are.

so you guys know what im saying is true in that something is legit coming off as one sided here and that jk isn't responding in kind and rather than admit it,

Please don't tell me what I think, if anything I make no secret of my thoughts on here, so this is quite insulting on many fronts. It will get you blocked if repeated.

push the idea that it's just tae being over eager, clingly and bold while jk is undermining him and playing everything down to protect his own feelings. Like wtf kind of healthy relationship is that supposed to be?

Absolutely not! Tae is not being over eager, or over clingy, he's just being Tae. Jk is not undermining him or playing anything down. Your lack of understanding of human interactions is not a base for me to believe otherwise.

And if you really think that jks cold ass response to tae's appearance and the sniping over the editing comment plus the implication about tae taking the tone from serious to not serious about music just by being there after he cracked the same kind of comment in the same kind of tone the other day on the live was a 'joke' then I have a bridge to sell you.

Again, severe lack of understanding human interactions. Like... I cannot even begin to tell you all the ways you are wrong (I could actually, just don't feel like it on the base of your ask) (am I still in drama mode... yes, yes I am). Jk's cold ass response... seriously 😂🙄.

Jk has literally outright said that he keeps an eye on what's being said on social media and he's still pulling this kind of shit in the year 2023.

Unsure what this has to do with anything, no.. don't enlighten me, I'm sure I'll still disagree.

You know the real reason why none of the other members got called out for appearing on each others eps? because none of them had another member literally sit there and tell them to haul ass outta there.

Wait, I know another reason 🙋‍♀️... could it possibly be just because it's... TAEKOOK together? Like surely it's not a surprise that people react to Jk and Tae taekooking on main.

I don't know wtf his problem suddenly is with tae but it's becoming increasingly obvious to ppl that he has one.

Yeah that's not legit either, the problem is people like you! People like that awfull taennieisaflop account who uses people like you to get a thrill out of fandom. You don't think for yourself anon, you go along with what excites you most. Maybe you've never fully warmed to Jk, who knows... but Jk does not suddenly have a problem with Tae.. You, and other's like you, suddenly have a problem with Jk. This... is Tae and Jk right now:

I still ship the possibility of this couple

What the flip does that even mean? How do you ship a possibility?

so I know that its gotta be niggling at some of y'all too how much tae is trying his best and getting stonewalled in response.

Not me.. so go and send this to someone who does and wallow about it together please!

tae is trying his best and getting stonewalled in response.

Where on earth do you get the idea that Tae is trying to what... out them, go public, get Jk to react? Tae is just being Tae. Tae has always talked about Jk.

The only reason is bugs me so much in the first place is because that's supposed to be his man (and i believe he is) but he's not moving like it at all and then clowns on the timeline are like 'aww, kekeke, how cute' over his shitty, dismissive and thoughtless behavior.

No that is not your only reason, your reason (the main one I think) is that you are unsatisfied. You want more from them than you get. Well surprise surprise... you will never get that much. You are not concerned for Tae, because Tae's behavior towards Jk would have reassured you that things are alright between them. Your need for public reassurance of their relationship is unjustified.

What do ppl want from jk? How about to not be so obviously bored, bothered and bitchy whenever tae tries to do something nice for him?

Again, oddly concerning lack of understanding of human behavior from your part.

How about he actually considers the shit he's reading on socials and stops laying bait traps for his psycho stans to jump on? How about he stops echoing and implying the same rhetoric that tae antis are peddling to accuse him of being everything from an attention seeker to a stalker? Like when Tae simply mentioned he liked the idea of doing a live with jk in response to an army and jk in his own live still interpreted it in a way that implied he felt like tae was just talking about it for clout and that's why he hadn't mentioned it to him.

Weird as f*ck anon! Seriously, you don't understand Jk at all.

Deny it all you want but lately his ass has been playing hot and cold when it comes to taehyung which is fine if he'd stop setting him up so damn much.

[vaguely-concerned]

thinking about not only the specific people lucanis pulls in to represent the 'locks' in his psyche, but the storytelling that happens in the structure/order of them. the underlying ideas are presented something like:

the lucanis who went into the ossuary never came back out again; he died down there (the boy caterina raised is gone forever) -> you're putting yourself in danger doing this (by being close to me), you should leave because I can't bear it if you get hurt because of me -> it doesn't matter even if we do try this, it won't work anyway (again because of me) ('you know what he's like, you can open the door but he won't walk through it' :'( oofie doofie) -> what if the real secret is that there was never anything but the monster in here from the beginning. you should leave, there was never anything here worth saving in the first place. (implicitly: what if I deserved what happened, all along.)

it runs pretty cleanly from outward-oriented attachment anxiety ('caterina won't even want me back like this, she won't recognize me (the same way I no longer recognize myself)) and gradually deeper inwards until we reach self-image and self worth. or you know, the harrowing basic lack of it lol.

"careful -- they'll know we're not right," spite says in one of their first scenes... but clearly, some very deep part of lucanis has feared or suspected for much longer than that that there's something inherently not right at the core of him, way before any demon entered the picture. and the voice he gives those lines to is the person who should know him better than anyone in the world, who he has loved more than anyone in the world -- and who deliberately chose to hurt him so horrifically anyway. 'It's better if I'm just a monster and deserved what happened than it is to allow for the idea that the brother I love doesn't really exist and maybe never did'. it's better if he's fundamentally flawed in some way that needed fixing to help him survive, and that's why caterina chose to hurt him again and again -- out of love. (this one I think he might have a very sad wakeup call on one day if he ever ends up with the responsibility and care of a child of his own in some way and realizes just how alien the idea of ever intentionally hurting them for any reason is to him. oh buddy. also interesting that he keeps caterina as the outermost lock -- there IS a distance he keeps there that he hasn't with illario. he doesn't resent her 'anymore' he says, but he also keeps her carefully further away from his deepest self.)

as far as I could tell the only note in the mind prison that's fully hidden and needs to be uncovered is the sad painful helpless stupid little truth that even after all this, even knowing what happened... he still loves his brother. is there anything illario could ever do that would make lucanis completely stop loving him, do you think? sometimes the trouble with unconditional love is that it is, well. unconditional, even when some terms and conditions probably would have been in order haha.

that's the pattern you see there again and again; he would rather destroy and abandon and imprison himself at every turn than let go of love, even when it's just scraps, even when there's only ever enough of it to hurt him. it's only when rook shows up and as it were takes his hand and walks along with him that he can entertain the idea of changing the story of what walking out the door might mean in the end.

saw someone saying something like "do you really think veilguard story would be better if you could do evil choices?" and actually yeah. i think if they let us act more like the dreadwolf on the "you are a paralellism to the dreadwolf" game, it would be more significant when the story tells you "you are a bit like him/you are nothing like him" because , thats how you chosed to play it.

a bit of my postcanon vision

i heart people arguing

[mayasaura]

I don't wanna further hijack that poor poll, but the thing about Harrow's schizophrenia is that it's canon. The author has confirmed it, and shared that it's based on her own experience.

It's a pretty obscure bit of canon, so of course there's no shame in not already knowing, but that's why I'm so obnoxiously persistent about letting people know.

Whatever else is up with Harrow, autism or cptsd or any number of likely headcanons, she is also schizophrenic. I feel like that's too important to be handwaved away as a difference of opinion.

interlude

Lost focus and drew a consensual workplace relationship (the inherent intimacy of hanging out in an artist's studio to watch them exist in their element got to me)

Zoom in for details I poured my soul into <3

(no reposts; reblogs appreciated)

[erinwantstowrite]

if you want people to get into the canon comics and lead everyone away from fanon misinterpretation (which is a losing battle because there will ALWAYS be this) then why not be helpful instead of being a dick about it 🤨

the comics are hard to get into because it's hard to know where to start, and there's so much content that people are able to fill themselves in by reading fanfic or watching something on tiktok or seeing posts about it on here. perhaps instead of telling people they're stupid for not realizing your favorite character is being mishandled by others, you could write up a list of your favorite comics and/or how, if you could read them for the first time again, you would order your favorite comics to get the best reading experience. and also write your own fanfiction and draw your own fanart or make a passionate post, answer questions politely

In Regards To Your 2024 Summary:

Holy shit it’s been another year????? The hell?????

Also! Your art style is gorgeous and that being found in 2023 and then refined throughout late 2023 and the entirety of 2024 really shows, as does your growth in panel layouts, perspective, and — as you said — experimentation. If you ever post your animation or video game art I’m looking forward to it.

As cheesy as it sounds, being able to laugh at funny comics and look at all the details of your art really made my 2024 brighter, even when things were hard. Including looking at your older art— it doesn’t need to be new to be enjoyable! I’m glad your art is well loved and it’s a privilege to have been here since the (near) beginning. I hope you take care of yourself in 2025 and beyond!

You and your art bring a lot of people a lot of joy never forget that <3

Thank you so much for keeping up with my art journey throughout these last two years! Two years!!! I am baffled at how that feels both too long and too short!

Admittedly, my art summary didn't manage to capture the fact that I did a lot of comic layouts that I'm really proud of. I also drew more backgrounds and made some very detailed works (*Dungeon Meshi spoilers for these examples*).

The growth is lot more evident when comparing my 'best' comics of 2023 to 2024:

Sometimes the growth is vertical, sometimes it is horizontal - and damn, sometimes it goes out of sight into the Z-plane. But it is always happening!

Something I really like about timebomb is that Ekko actually knows what he's getting into.

I'm not really seeing it get talked about but in season 1 they mention that Ekko and the firelights help people addicted to shimmer get off it and lead more fulfilling lives within the community. I should probably rewatch the scene for the exact wording (might be misremembering tbh) but that comment implies A LOT.

First: Ekko's mission is helping people where he can, he would probably try and help Jinx even if he wasn't in love with her

Second: He has experience dealing with severe mental illness as that often goes hand in hand with drug abuse, namely depression/suicidal ideation like what Jinx was exhibiting

Third: He's probably mapped out best course of action FOR dealing with this and has already figured out his own limits/boundaries. Meaning he knew what he was getting into trying to talk Jinx out of suicide, and was thus more equipped to deal with the aftermath

Fourth: He's probably helped ex members of Silco's gang. The firelights seem to have a theme of healing and repairing and recovering, so they've probably also learned to forgive. If they're mission is to rebuild the lanes into a safe space, they can't exclude people they don't like, they have to make room for them. I think they fought Silco out of necessity, and I doubt Jinx would be the first person they help who's killed one of them.

These all might be a bit of a stretch but I think it really fits. Beyond that, it shows that Ekko can ACTUALLY help Jinx. As much as unconditional love can do, Ekko has the tools for Jinx's recovery and a path ready for her. He also probably knows that her "healthy" will look different from AU Powder's "healthy." On top of that, I expect he knows how to respect her even in the middle of psychotic breaks and won't agitate her already frail mental state

oh god oh GODDD im so excited for the comic strip scene to appear in fic bc bruce and petey’s hug is making my heart ACHE… specifically the way that the goober leans his WHOLE BODY into it and then bruce places a secure hand on his back and cradles the back of his head ough OUGHHH like that action is so like . yeah you sure are an uncle ben counterpart bc clearly you love this kid with everything you have and are giving him a guiding hand . but also but ALSO something about the movement is so … batman pulling robin under his cape … providing careful shelter to a kid who needs it so bad … like if im dick and i see my father figure and my kid caring for each other to the point of enacting change (bruce being emotionally intelligent and petey letting himself trust + be tactile) im sobbing and throwing up bc my heart is so full . like he cares he learned from his mistakes w me … and my baby who deserves everything gets to reap the benefits and soak up all that honest affection like AUGHHH its all worth it its all worth it

bruce makes me so emotional sometimes because the older he gets the more he learns from his mistakes and the more guilty he feels about his older children and trying to make up for it in every possible way,,, i PLAN for right after this conversation with peter and bruce, for dick to see it and bruce tug him into the hug and AGGHH they make me emotional. bruce was like "i can't get attached because peter has to go home" ans then proceeded to fail at not getting attached. but we all knew that would happen (look at his track record...)

yall are about to piss me off by not having any PASSING basic knowledge of the way the u.s. military manipulates its recruits into joining by typing up one of your uninformed, unresearched, unempathetic, individualistic, unbelievably annoying posts about how 100% of the people in the military ended up there because they just Love America So Damn Much! they're extremely mature and informed at time of recruitment, they can totally leave anytime they want, they totally had tons of other avenues in life they could've taken, there was no rush at all to get income as fast as possible, and everyone in the military also totally is part of the combat divisions and personally enjoys being IN the military very much, big believers of violence. everyone in the military is shooting guns all day, that's how that works. they LOVE BLOODSHED. also I love the "amewicans haha" twang to this type of shit because you're actually TOTALLY stealing our Thing, which is turning systemic issues into Individual Issues. Instead of talking about the powers that be, it's so Personal Choice up in here. It's, "well you shouldn't have done it then. I totally wouldn't because I know better." you don't wanna talk about the military industrial complex as a whole, and you don't want to talk about recruiters, you just want to pin the blame on Specific Individual People one-by-one, as if they're responsible for the system that they're being ground up in. someone was in the military? bad person, no matter what. it's easier to believe that, I guess, than to acknowledge that Normal People (with high school educations) are manipulated and incentivized into joining a system that is Bad. at like age 18. but yeah no that 18 year old should have just been smarter lol haha anyway here are some screenshots for no particular reason

side note this reply of someone going "umm just get loans and go into a high paying field it's easy XD" as a direct response to someone trying to explain how most americans joining the military are being funneled in that direction out of a need for money.

and another person who Decided that americans join the military just CLENCHING their teeth thinking of other people, and not thinking completely selfishly about their own selves and their own income/housing/healthcare.
