something stranger and more wonderful
(ID in ALT text)
my art for @faux-fires (ao3 Link) fic "something stranger and more wonderful"
beta red by @ranilla-bean (ao3 Link) for this years @zukkabigbang2024 event. its truly a beautiful fic. Keeping you on your toes while reading. making you worry about sokka exposed to the whims of nature and zuko, all alone.
big thank you to reikah and rana for all the handholding during this project! And stoping me form overthinking details.

i am once again thinking abt the lost potential that is hypmic.
#i literally just messaged my friend abt this but stick w me#when nemu gets hypnotized we see her wanting to join the pow which. makes perfect clear sense even without hypnosis#shes shown through out all of tdd as hating unecessary violence and samatokis outburts due to their upbringing#and a political movement that (pretends to) erradicate all violence would interest her like. im just connecting dots here#and she joins because shes hypnotized and blah blah blah. boring. ok but what if. and hear me out.#the hypmic didnt completely overwrite the person but just made them act on their deepest desires#like i thinm my case w nemu is already presented but hear me out for my second contender. sasara#a man that became a thug on a whim because this guy reminded him of his ex. ok cool. what if we went harder on that#sasaras shown to be analytical and extremely cynical already. what if we just ignored canon for a bit#and focused on making his relationships a bit more fucked up. especially involving samatoki#sasaras drawn to him because samatoki fills the void that rosho left him. hes just smth he needs at the moment#but w my wonderful vision what if he grew tired of this fake. what if he had enough. hes not rosho he will never be#hes served his purpouse. but now sasaras stuck. in the middle of ikebukuro bashing some guys head w a pipe#AND THATS WHEN THE MIC COMES IN BABYYYYYYYYYYYYY#this was also brought to you by the fact that i want to see samatoki suffer. i want to see him at his most pathetic#i want him to come to the realization his best friend left him because he no longer fit his ideal vision#i want ACTUAL FUCKING CONFLICT FOR ONCE THAT ISNT SOLVED BY 'hey man. rappings fun' PLEASE#i want these bitches fucked up and in torment#uhhhh didnt think abt kuko w this au at all. idk yall do what you want w him#hypmic#hi main tag :3#•txt#•hypmic#•idol nonsense

#I got a delorian model i love my delorian model you know it's a genuine collectors item because my father got it from ebay#and it still has the original package#genuinely deloreon is such a fun word to misspell#deloron. the dilorian. my dmc-drölf#I've been talkinh about how cool that car is so much i think if it wasn't for the fact we don't have a garage my father would actually be#on board with the idea of someday buying one of those#it's like the cringe fail loser of cars because it's really by all means not the best car#it has less power than it looks like it should have its pretty flat the motor is in the back and the place for storing stuff is in the front#the doors are the coolest thing about it but I LOVE back to the future my favourite trilohy of films#ever since that fateful cinema film marathon in march which I went to on a whim#i had to fight myself up that hill with my bike because our car battery was empty#i missed the first ten minutes of the movie#and the first major issue to be solved is that the car battery is empty and he's stuck in the 50s#and marty is so sweet he's just like me if I wasn't a massive asshole#also absolutely never punctual#there's this poszer#''he was never in time for his classes... he wasn't in time for dinner...and then one day he wasn't in his time at all'' story of my life#so I'm very enamoured with the car of course I got to see some live during summer through sheer coincidence and they really are that cool#so I'm very happy with my model :3#Vanyan🐈

i will never understand it when new players - and emphasis on new players - decide to story skip, and the further the story skip is, i firmly believe the worse it gets. it's not just shooting yourself in the foot lorewise. that doesn't really have an impact on gameplay, if at all. but when you decide to do combat content with other people, how tf do you parse all of the mechanics thrown at you when you skipped the entire learning process it takes to be able to get at the point when you can do so relatively easily??? how do you find fun when you die over and over to a boss and you have no clue as to what's going on or what killed you???
#this comes from a place of frustration when on a whim i decided to go on a trial roulette spree as a sage.#i ran into a level 100 sprout that stood still for EVERY mechanic and clearly had no idea what to do.#or god forbid it even cared enough to learn what was going on.#the game teaches you VERY EARLY ON that orange bad. and they weren't even trying to dodge either#so i was stuck babysitting them while we also had a few people new to the trial itself so it was hell overall.#like... i get wanting to be on the same level as your friends asap if that's your reason for story skipping. i totally get it.#but you also have to remember what you bring to the table when you're playing with other people too. not just your friends.#idfk that entire experience sucked. i don't think i've ever blacklisted anyone faster LMAO#(and for transparency: i also bought the stb story skip. but it ended up being wasted money since i went back and did everything anyways.)#(and by everything i mean from where i left off at the arr post patches up until shb where it was supposed to start me at.)#(if only i had known i actually wasn't far off from getting into hw bc the recycled primals plotline was fucking killing me.)#(and then i hated the idea of not knowing the story at all so i went back to where i left off without even starting shb yet.)#(anyway story skips are only useful for alts and that's it. thanks for coming to my ted talk)#stfu anri

just read ari&dante book 2. i am a new person.
#holy. Fucking shit.#sometimes a book is just so emotionally affecting from the first page that u sit down and read all of it in one go#i bought it on a whim today too. had no plans of buying it today let alone reading it#it's been so long since i read ari&dante so i wanted to reread first but then i saw book 2 at the store and went meh to hell with it#and wow. Wow. holy fuck. wow.#what a beautiful story of gay love and family and healing and growing and changing. and gay love. and gay joy! but also gay pain.#so authentic and real and relevant and aaauayygyhghh#aristotle and dante dive into the waters of the world#aristotle and dante

oop its uni ranking time again
the time of the year when I remember that since age 14 ive basically spent my life in educational institutions that have been at some point ranked #1 on some of these lists. ugh. bleh. nothing intelligent to say just now, I just always need to remember the ways this limits or biases my experience in addition to the ways it broadens it. someday I will finally write the big article that's been brewing in my brain about the meritocracy fallacy.
#if you ever wonder where my impostor syndrome comes from this explains it#since I was 14 I have been surrounded by people smarter than me#its a real mixed bag bc it means I know that some of these people really are geniuses but also I know how rigged the system is#and how not smart some of them can be#this isn't gonna make any sense#sorry#if I get personal about it for a second its kind of nuts this has happened#bc this has never at any point been my goal#im not an elite institution chaser#for HS it happened to be near where I lived and I applied on a whim#and went with a well lets see! attitude#for uni it was the dream school of the girl who sat in front of me on the bus#and I googled it and it sounded neat and I toured it and liked the vibe#for grad school they had a scholarship avail that seemed tailor made for me I didn't care what school it was at#how has this happened#its almost funny#coming to Tumblr once again bc it feels safer to shout into the void here

Made the ghosts in the sims and its going great except pat and the captain keep getting so caught up in conversation that i have to force them to toilet, sleep, and bathe
#they went on a trip together and it was getting late so i told them to go home#and they both ran for the border as they are supposed to#but when they got there they stopped and started talking to each other again#and i had to tell them to go home again like!! babes!! fucking!! go!!#anyways they are obsessed with each other as they should be#bbc ghosts#other highlights are#robin immediately became obsessed with chess#fanny keeps doing things she hates and i cant make her stop#meanwhile shes constantly stressing that shes not achieving her dreams no matter how many whims and dreams of hers i fulfil#and thomas makes the captain so mad all the time but they keep seeking each other out anyways#often when the captain is angry-running on the treadmill#so basically they are all exactly who they should be

current phase in the illness is my stupid stupid stupid stupid fucking nose shit idiot nose hats it i hate everything shes got going on in her . (when i oh actually that nevermind. i was gonna say that blowing my nose went well. yk when you blow your nose and youre like wow its clear finally breathing and then the one nostril immediately gets completely fucking sealed again. ill kill us all
#and earlier it was so annoying id blow my nose as hard as i could and yet when i sniffed in id still have the fucking. sniffing in snot#sensation RHE WORST IN THE WORLD girl can you just stop with this nonsens i knowwww you know how yo be a nose you have been stuck in the#middle of my fuckass face for 20 years now and 90% of the time you have it down i NEED YOU on top of this.#stage lf the illness where im reminding my nose of all the good times weve had . Remember when i let a 15 year old stab you with a needle on#a whim... remember when i accidentally gave you like a half an inch long gash inside of a nostril bc i tried to flip my septum piercing up.#remember the day after i let a 15 year old stab you with a needle on a whim and we went swimming in a lake and a baby slammed his head into#you full force... those r all septum related but idk i think she likes having a septum and its kind of the only exciting thing thats ever#happened to her . maybe i should break my nose or do coke? do we think shed like that and be nicer to me

watching rory get into her dream school makes me nostalgic ^_^ though this is probably why i identify more with lorelai sr cause when i heard my early decision app to car*negie me*llon was accepted i had nobody to celebrate with, i just sprawled on my bedroom floor and watched pirates of the caribbean on my laptop. but it was the happiest night of my entire high school days, it meant i was getting out.
#nobody really understands how my entire life goal as a kid was to be independent so that nobody could ever abuse me again like my mom did#my dad never believed in the art thing but contrary to his belief i never went willy nilly into art i picked a very intentionally stable#side of the commercial art business just for this reason#and this summer getting this sudden disabling illness and finding myself at the whim of random friends here#was absolutely terrifying#i am relieved that i have been able to get myself back to a level of health that i can work again#even if it means i am so exhausted that the rest of my life stops existing#it isnt like i had much of a social life here in LA anyway#its really really lonely though#thank goodness for my walking buddy#we snagged a half hour walk monday and i confessed to him that he was the only human being i had seen in a week and a half#and its true#working remotely saves me the exhaustion of having to be presentable each day and commuting but its so so lonely#and im still so sick#and im scared this is the rest of my life just nothing but loneliness and vague misery#with the only comfort being silly tv shows that remind me of better days#jrnlsht
