thoughts on fandoms treating characters with a heavily fictionalized form of split personality as if they canonically have DID?
like DID doesnt fucking do this
You mean you don't do a magical girl sailor moon transformation when you switch?
I don't know, sounds sus, friendo
Your eyes should at least change colour, how else do you know who's fronting?
#but in all seriousness#this is a major problem#these highly fictionalized characters from both cartoon/anime and live action affect public perception more than people know#like you might think “psh it's just a show”#but that stuff is damaging when it's the only exposure to the CONCEPT of fragmented identities that a layperson has#saying “yeah that's DID in a nutshell” about certain portrayals isn't enough info for singlets and those outside our communities#and we often end up looking “crazier” and less believable#I've been quoting the isstd treatment guidelines lately#with the quote that clinicians “incorrectly assume that DID has a highly florid presentation” and media plays a huge part in that#imo any good representation about DID would be boring as shit#i don't get super powers#my alters are just as bad at everything as i am even if they're supposed to be specialized

my second pass at a sonadow fankid. this time, it's a little more serious than the looney tune that is dawn lol.
this is 3. he was created by tails in an effort to develop the "ultimate defense system."
basically, tails was thinking back on how, during the forces war, eggman was able to conquer the world when sonic and shadow weren't around. and, well, he got a little worked up remembering that! he got mad! yeah--real mad!
so, tails did what all great minds do when they get mad, and he conducted some... let's say... unethical science experiments.
#sonic#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sonadow#sonic oc#3 the hedgehog#scribbles#dawn the creature#maybe if shadow hadn't super destroyed the rest of the black arms he wouldn't have to deal with these#unwanted and previously unknown failsafe instincts that were hardcoded into his dna :/#cuz wouldn't you know it! super powerful aliens don't like it when they get wiped out and will do anything they can to survive!#which includes INTENSE parental instincts#tails did not account for this. of course#also only now am i realizing 3 :handshake: prism = tails' hubris

"Realistically an 8/9/10/whatever year old couldn't do that" yeah alright that's true but we're talking about Dick Grayson who is unrealistically hypercompetent full stop because he's a superhero comics character. Bruce Wayne is also extremely unrealistically hypercompetent at basically everything except his own close personal relationships. Superhero comics are unrealistic.
#this isn't directed at anyone in specific and isn't meant to be aggressive btw#i just don't get the fixation on realism in a form of media that's defined by being fantastical#or why letting a child have that kind of fantasy power stretches believability more than an aduit having the equivalent#i'm not super attached to the idea of dick being robin that early or anything i just don't get the mindset#dick grayson#batman

On one hand I'm kinda sad we never got to see the 17 & 18 fusion '35' they teased at a few times, because yeah they're already good at fighting in unison and would be perfect fusion candidates
But on the other hand I feel like their fusion would have twice the apathy they individually have, and just be like 'well I don't see why any of this is my problem' and not even help out xD
#*fuses into over-powered character and immediately takes a seat on the sidelines* is a hilarious concept and I kinda love it#Krillin has to ask them very nicely to help out and eventually they're just 'ugh fiiiiiiiiiiiine'#ALTERNATIVELY they don't give a fuck about the fight until Krillin gets hurt and then it's murder time#actually a really good way to limit an over-powered character's usability in battle just give them an 'and why should I care?' personality#dragon ball#dragon ball z#dragon ball super#dbz#dbs#17#18#35#maybe I'll doodle 35 one day#it's hard getting the right balance of features when merging characters though

This book might as well be called So Your Deadbeat Vampire Dad Abandoned You: What Now?
Previous / Next
Helena, thinking: Well, if it’s just going to sit there, I might as well read the thing…
Introduction: Vampirism is no easy existence and will certainly not be long endured by the weak-willed, faint of heart, or squeamish. Fledglings who lack the knowledge or means to satisfy their all-consuming thirst and guard against their newfound weaknesses are far less likely to survive the initial stages of transformation, in which the craving for blood threatens to override all capacity for self-control. If they find themselves lucky enough to be under the tutelage of an intelligent and attentive sire, young vampires can not only mature but thrive for many centuries in their strange new forms. However, the presence of such a devoted mentor is not always guaranteed. Therefore, this book aims to serve as an instructional guide to attending to one’s needs and harnessing one’s abilities for those newly turned vampires who find themselves without a teacher.
Helena, thinking: Hmm, it's almost a little bit too on the nose.
Chapter 1: Dark Form Mastery
Helena, thinking: God, I feel ridiculous. Did it even work? It’d be nice if I could see my reflection right now.
Chapter 2: Bat Manifestation and Flight
Helena, thinking: Here goes nothing, I guess.
OW! OOF!
That’s going to take some practice.
#ts4#sims 4#sims 4 story#ts4 story#simblr#story: hzid#helena zhao#idk how obvious i've made it but helena's been stuck in her dark form since transforming#but in my interpretation it's more like super vampire mode than another form altogether#i see it as a switch inside vampires that flicks on when they attack or otherwise draw intensely on their powers but is usually off#but for new vampires it's activated a lot more because they're always in survival mode and helena didn't know how to turn it on/off at will#i hope that makes sense!#it's hard to get across visually bc the difference is so subtle and the details don't always show up

tired: the bats are so weird and creepy and everyone else is always so normal compared to them!
wired: impulse started fidgeting so hard he just started vibrating and clipped halfway through the floor and part of helen's foot before he realized what he was doing. this is just a normal tuesday
inspired: superman, superboy, and supergirl are sitting together in midair having a mild-mannered midwestern discussion as to which of their nonpowered combatant friends has the most fucked-up looking bones. several of said friends are in the room and really wish they wouldn't do this
#rimi talks#sorry every time i see a ''wow gotham is so weird and everyone else plays straightman'' post or fic i just#speedsters are walking bethesda glitches and supers are freaky powered aliens.#i haven't read as much amazon lore so i don't want to make Inaccurate Jokes but theres Definitely ways for them to be weird as fuck too#like im SURE there are theyre magic and also have superpowers#Everyone In This House Is Kind Of A Freak. All Of Them#constantly thinking abt becketts post of jon asking if he can look at bruce's fucked up skull#bc his dad says batman gets hit in the head nightly and now he's curious and wants to see#fucking devastating man laskdjflkdjs

Some scattered thoughts on Mario Tennis Aces
Warning: spoilers ahead
I love that every time any of the characters talk about the stakes, they're like "we've got to save Luigi! ... and the others I guess..." Even in the finale when they're doing a big tennis match to determine the fate of the world, Wario and Waluigi are booed by the crowd while Luigi... despite still being possessed by Lucien... gets cheered for and talked about in a positive light by the announcers.
What's also interesting is that Wario, Waluigi, and Bowser talk and act very much like their normal selves while possessed. They're being manipulated in some part, with Bowser saying that the racket's power makes him "want to control things more than usual," but it's clear Lucien is exploiting preexisting desires. Luigi, however, never says a word, and is fairly expressionless compared to the others. He is not being manipulated so much as he's been entirely robbed of his senses, turned more into a tennis playing puppet than a minion. But if you think about it... that aligns with the goals each of them had that caused them to take hold of Lucien. Wario and Waluigi wanted the power to defeat their enemies in tennis, and were granted that desire to the best of Lucien's abilities. Bowser wanted to take over the world, and Lucien actually went so far as to fuse with him so they could conquer as one entity.
Luigi wanted nothing more than to hold the pretty tennis racket, and for most of the story... at the sacrifice of every other part of him... he got exactly that.
#I really like the idea of mind control that actually rewards a desire for power#allowing the victim to maintain their senses so they can revel in ''their'' victory#if you don't want power? if you don't want to hurt your friends? You get turned into an empty vessel as a twisted form of mercy#Again I'm looking way too deep into a game that is 99% tennis and 1% plot#but I'm in too deep in general#and this game sorely lacks a proper ending cutscene so... *clicks pen* time to figure out some character motivations#mario tennis aces#super mario brothers#mario#luigi#wario#waluigi#super mario bros

One of my favorite fandom depictions of Fawcett was when they treated the city like Night Vale. IDK, I could always just imagine the city having that same vibe paired with over the top characters and settings as ASOUE (the visual depiction of it all).
Combine this with other heroes like Batman visiting Fawcett to try and figure out more about Captain Marvel and his family/team only for his brain to short circuit mintues after arriving from all the chaos and impossibility of everything.
Billy could have his own podcast or Radio show that's super popular even outside the city with him reporting on everything. He has an "odd things that happened this week" segment but it's all like normal stuff for everyone else but completely weird for citizens of Fawcett. The city could have a feud with both Gotham and/or Metropolis citizens.
The entire city could know about the Marvel Family identities but just delete and deny any evidence acting confused or refuse to acknowledge it whenever asked.
#I just want Fawcet to be a weird little city#The size of the city could be far too small for everything they have in the city and you get to different places based on how you travel#It's gotten to the point where even super powerful groups/individuals keeps tabs on the city just in case#Time could work differently there#People could all age differently there#This is the real reason Mary and Billy are no longer twins Fawcett just messed up their ages is all#Even people tied directly to chaos don't want to make their home their it's so bizzar#shazam#billy batson#fawcett city

ok this is a deeply deeply weird manifesto and i'm sorry but i feel suddenly very burdened to say it so. if you felt like we were friends and i unfollowed you, this is for you. (don't be scared this is not about problems with anyone this is just my mess. that I think is ok to have which is why I'm talking about it)
so I joined tumblr in 2020 when a) the world was isolated b) I had just moved to a new city and was living alone taking Zoom classes in my apartment. what started as a mindless distraction became such a lifeline of connection and friendship! and still such a support as things started to open back up and get busier in 2021, when I was teaching and in class in person but still struggling for close in-person friendships. I know the group dynamic on here has shifted a number of times, as some of you probably experienced from various vantage points. my use of tumblr has shifted too, on and off, as I've needed different things out of it and been in different spiritual and emotional states. and I've kind of come to realize that I probably threw myself in too eagerly in some ways. it was so exciting to have actual friends on here and for them to actually turn into friends in person, that honestly I maybe prized that dynamic too much for what it symbolized over actually valuing the people. I'm sorry for doing that.
anyway, that worked fine for a bit, but as (glory be to God) I've become much more plugged into my in-person community in the last couple years, I've felt more and more emotionally strained. I've taken up a new attitude towards my family that's much more in line with God, but also much more draining as it means I have to just pour out in prayer and love and wait with patient sorrow over some things rather than fighting and defending my perspective as always right and necessary; and then there's the church-related grief my family has gone through over the last year. I've had a very delicate and difficult friendship that pulled up a lot of unresolved stuff from a college situation and felt endlessly wearying at times. I've had another issue from college recur in a way I thought had been healthily resolved years ago. I've had this whole roommate marriage situation that as y'all know is a very weird trial and pressure. My church has been dealing with a strange and tough ongoing struggle that was already stressing me out before I started working there. My small group has been amazing and I've loved connecting with and relying on them more, but that connection also means more fully bearing the griefs of a lot of different people dealing with the different struggles of life. My advisor situation has been so weird and tough, making my academic work really hard, and then this recent church work has been fulfilling but physically and often mentally exhausting. My future location, work, and community is up in the air after a few years of stability. (I really didn't mean to make this a recitation of my woes, but honestly it's really helpful to see it all written out here; helps explain my deep deep exhaustion, I guess.)
If I ever followed you on tumblr, I love you. In a number of different ways. I feel fondness at the thought of you and at your presence; I want to know you more fully; I desire the good for you; and I find my well-being to be, at least a little bit, tied up with yours. That last one is the rub. As I'm sorting through all the callings and duties in my life, trying to identify what counts as changing my tires versus what wears my tires out, I've found that my tumblr dashboard can switch back and forth very unpredictably between one thing and the other. Often it's a delight to come on here and find my friends and the cool things we're showing each other and the joys and sorrows and goofy moments of our lives! But at other times, when what I desperately need is an escape and rest and humor to provide solace from in-person cares, I find myself pricked all over again by the sorrow of the world and the stress of sin--or even just irritated by stuff I find irrelevant or disagree with or don't want to be reminded of.
To be clear, I'm not saying anyone's doing anything wrong on here. The opposite; I love the freedom y'all have to seek out what helps you, whether that's a lot of facts and ideas or a lot of goofy content or recipes or weird TV or music or venting about life or seeking prayer or advice! We all have the freedom and responsibility to determine how to use the tools we have to aid us in pursuing the good, whether the good is a quick laugh or building up virtue. But I think for me, at this point in my life, my duty and calling has swung back towards my in-person connections in a variety of ways, and I have to honor that.
The lie of infinity that the internet offers is just that--a lie. for me, that lie right now is being laid bare in my inability to have infinite care for everyone whose path I cross. I could follow everyone on here whom I'm endeared to, could keep messaging and replying and building relationships, but it would be a lie to think I can offer that love and care to everyone I would like to. In-person friendships are limited by physical proximity and time; online friendships can't be unlimited either. I need to apologize for acting as though they could be, and committing myself beyond my limits; but also, my life has really changed, and I'm not going to be caught either by the lie that online is only worthwhile if it's permanent.
I want to be clear that I value the connections I've had with you. I've loved exchanging mail and phone calls, messaging fun things back and forth, being online at the same time or learning about your day after the fact. Please know, also, that I have gone to war in prayer for you, and I continue to do so. I wish that I knew how to love widely without feeling pulled apart and worn down, by difference and sorrow and sin (mine and yours). I hope God is sanctifying me toward that end. But right now I'm fairly convinced I need to honor my calling to in-person friendships; I need to protect my mind and heart from even little pricks and distractions, so that I can keep my desires in order and use my energy for prayer and Scripture and to do good work and love the people God's made my physical neighbors. I really do love you, and I wish we had infinite time to talk and think together. I'm so excited to be with y'all in heaven forever. And who knows--maybe my life will shift yet again (it's looking likely) and I'll have a ton of spare energy and love and will come sheepishly back looking to connect with you again. We'll see. You deserve love and attention and connection, in person and online, and I'm sorry that--at least as it feels to me--I held out the promise of giving you that and then had to withdraw it.
so. there's all that. My dash is super quiet these days, thwarting my dopamine search but pushing me towards texting friends, towards meditating more fully on Scripture, towards praying over my work and burdens. I hope you can understand and maybe even be glad that, God willing, this is how I'm able and needing to work for the kingdom right now. love you love you
#wow! that was crazy!!!! at least this is the neurotic overthinking website#so i hope you can not neurotically overthink what you did to make me unfollow you. and instead rest in our mutual finitude#the other day i had the experience of clarifying with a friend that i'm her best friend but she's not mine. in almost so many words.#(she asked who i'm closest to and i named a couple people here and away. then i asked her and she named a couple people and me)#she got teary but didn't have an anxiety meltdown which is huge progress for her! and we kind of acknowledged the difficulty and moved on#and kept hanging out and texting and loving each other#super weird experience but kind of like a lightning bolt of realizing things i've been intending for a while#we have to give each other the dignity of making choices even when the choices aren't each other. on a social level#we have a higher calling! all of us do! it sucks when the social stuff gets weird but we shouldn't let the weirdness distract from the call#and frankly once you start choosing the call over the world then the world's structures stop being at all compelling#for a neutral tool tumblr can be quite amazingly powerful for the Lord#but it is of the world and runs on some lies and i've hit a breaking point where i needed to confront those lies before i kept going#anyway. the point is. I LOVE YOU. and God has told me I have more urgent loves right now.#what an insane post to be making !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#oh wait edit to add! just to be clear i'm not trying to say don't message/reply/send stuff to me!#if i have to set a boundary i will but things are fine. just needing to reduce the dashboard noise#i highly recommend setting online boundaries btw. it's so much easier than stewing and stressing and wondering if blocking is justified#to just message someone and say ''hey you're doing nothing wrong but this way of interacting bugs me so please stop''#(which i've done only to followers never to people i follow. yet.)

I FINALLY MOVED OUT TO A NEW PLACE!!!
i'm absolutely exhausted and i still need to unpack so many things and i still need to buy a proper desk and restock my groceries & supplies and a do a whole lot of other things BUT i'm hoping to get settled in soon so i can get back to the creative endeavors™️✨
love yall, stay safe, take care, and good vibes 🫶🏻
#rin rambles#i dont want to bog this with negativity but i do want to share stuff so imma do it in a way that makes me look forward and not backwards#honestly this wasn't the place that i actually wanted and got excited for several months ago#i had to make adjustments because unfortunately the landlord was a huge red flag and i decided i didn't want to sign#and sure enough she never returned my security deposit of 1.5months until this day despite saying she would every day for like a whole mont#and though it is hard and devastating i don't want to potentially sabotage my own future so i've decided to not take any legal action#i just hope. that that money can be of use to her in some way. get her out of a tough spot perhaps#it was a struggle to get to this point of actually feeling fine letting go without breaking down but!!! it's fine. i'm fine#and karma will find a way if it was truly done out of purely malicious intention!#i'm closing that book and stowing it away lovingly into a shelf because if anything it was. a powerful lesson.#as much as it sucks. never. ever. trust a person when it comes to business or transactions. no matter how 'put together' they seem#always have everything on paper and never EVER pay something until they demonstrate that they can be trusted#anyway#the people helping me move today were super friendly and nice and it made my day!!#and so far i love love love the privacy so much. a bathroom all to myself? a kitchen countertop?? for myself??? that's so crazy#i had to battle thru cobwebs and (fored to) cured my arachnophobia by force /j#and there was a power trip unfortunately but overall everything seems nice! i would have liked having the room on a higher floor but ah wel#ough my back........... _(;3」 z)_

when I tell you I would commit federal crimes for Michiru's backstory from her pov....
#girl got psychic powers and super powers and the ability to transform into a cosmic super soldier with absolutely no help from a talking cat#and then got visions of the apocalypse coming to get everyone and the universe was like 'you fix this'#and the whole time she was having a seemingly unrelated crush on a girl from another school but keeping her distance for everyone's sake#then she finds out that her gay crush is actually someone she's destined to be with#but for that to happen she also has to go and uproot Haruka's entire life and make her give up everything she's ever dreamed of#but also if she DOESN'T do that the world is gonna end#and so she starts projecting into Haruka's dreams because she has to do SOMETHING#and she tries to meet with Haruka and confront her because 1) she does genuinely want to be with Haruka#but also 2) the world will literally end if they don't stop it#but even as Haruka is like about to gain the ability to transform and awaken she STILL stops her#because even wanting to be with Haruka and knowing that they need to be together#isn't enough to make her ok with ruining Haruka's life#I GO FERAL OVER THIS#sailor neptune#sailor uranus#michiru kaioh#haruka tenou#long post#sailor moon

Do you plan on adding the turtle's adopted mutant fish sister from that one episode? I fell like she neverwould want to help avenge splinter since he raised her and cared for her deeply.
I don't. If I did put her in, the fact that she exists at all would contradict almost all the world building I've set up behind the scenes for how mutation works. She is a wrench in the works- thus she can never exist in Residuum.
#residual asks#also i don't think she make any sense to include#both in show or residuum#as fun as her concept could have been... they never use her again. and the episode was super forgettable#hell. i rewatched the whole series three time for residuum- and i didn't even remember that she was in there#untill three months into the comic#(if i could get rid of any episode it would be that one)#if i had included her... her power set would have very useful for me in *redacted*'s storyline#and then everyone would hate her lmao#residuum wb
