#i have existential moments

tumblr is so funny to me as an adult with a day job. I feel like an anthropologist. People are working through things on here that I haven't thought about in years. Occasionally I see a post on here that touched me deeply when I saw it as a teen more than 10 years ago, and I'm like, huh, haha.
I'm not saying that being an adult with a day job means you don't have feelings or think/struggle/despair, but like, I'm not thinking about whether I'm a good person. I have work tomorrow, first of all, time for existentialism is limited. Second of all I have a house to keep clean and obligations to fulfill and relationships to maintain and shoot my prescription ran out. I don't have time to think about it, I don't consider it the core question anymore, and anyway it answers itself with what I do every day. I'm not wondering if the world is inherently a cruel place: no need to wonder when that question also answers itself every day with both "yes" and "no". Instead I'm wondering what I will make for dinner. The facts that life is both beauty and terror and that our time is limited feel... more mundane I guess.
Maybe that's sad or maybe that's cool, but it's funny looking back on things.
#i have existential moments#but i feel like i just live with it#like how you live with the vastness of space above you#you don't think about it#and i mean if you're an adult with a day job and you still think about it#that's cool too#I'm not saying I'm better or anything#it's just different phases of life#or something like that#for me it's the 'you're beautiful' ones. like#that's sweet but hearing that from an Internet stranger is not in my pyramid of needs

[ cw: slight questioning of gender identity / ]
Leo learning he’s trans and having various reactions to it.
1) Uncaring - not like anything really changed? It’s like learning your blood type. Leo is Leo, that’s all.
2) Existential - how the heck did he miss this for so long??? Wait is this gonna change his perspective of gender for himself or is he overthinking things??? He’s comfortable in his own skin and all but what if he’s not, actually? Should he think about this harder? Are there other things about himself he doesn’t know of yet-?
3) Peeved - what do you mean he could have had sick long claws and a cool long tail?
4) Relieved - WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE COULD HAVE LOST HIS STRIPES???
#rottmnt#rise leo#trans leo#trans leonardo#rottmnt headcanons#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#I think Hamato ‘Face Man’ Leonardo would be relieved to have dodged the bullet of losing his awesome stripes#but the claws would have been cool…#May draw at least the latter two points together haha#I debated including existential there but like#in this scenario I think most people would have a moment where they start questioning everything#just to reaffirm themselves#I’ve seen people mad that we take into account the turtle’s turtle characteristics for headcanons like this#and I can understand the reasoning#but eh as someone who leans toward masc terms on most days I like thinking about it#it means a lot to me that - however accidental - a character I love could be readily argued as trans

That one teacher/mentor moment and Zenos feeling embarrassed for the first time in years (and reacting just about as well as you'd expect him to).
#ffxiv#sketch#zenos yae galvus#adventurer zenos#durante#zenos “how does one process attachment” galvus#zenos “I have a spiritual eject button” galvus#I just imagine it being a word association fuck up too#trying to read his literature and has that moment where you say something youre reading#this man would be that unlucky#zenos: hm- perhaps ive gotten too comfortable- imma head out#meanwhile durante being subtly stoked about being chosen up until the little shit decides to try and flee from the situation#is this a very silly concept? perhaps#but also I just like the idea of zenos actually knowing what familial affection is like and durante actually feeling worthy for once#or like- a reason to actually remain himself while still carrying his legacy forward#funny little dynamics with characters I doubt will ever actually meet lol- but it is very fun to write#my mans is just trying to read and he gets to have an existential crisis instead#not allowed to be an introverted bookworm in peace

ok hear me out on this fic idea i'm working on. so my own special little version of wade in my head is a massive empath in the sense that he not just knows about other alternate timelines and things behind the fourth wall but he actively feels the emotional and existential effects of them. i kinda mentioned this in one of my fics and already but imagine wade knowing what every other version of himself has been through, the good AND the bad. but he feels it all the same way because he doesn't have the good things in this universe but conversely he's also kinda been through all the bad things too. (in my head the things about him he knows unprompted but he has to voluntarily tap into everything else if he wants to.)
SO THEN imagine that because of this he also has the power to know what every single wolverine has been through. him not just empathising with logan but actually knowing and feeling all the shit he did and how he feels about it. like a person-A-can-feel-others'-emotions AU but dialed up to 11 because he also has to deal with his OWN shit from other universes
#user: gossippool 😝#me seeing a tragic character: how can i make their life worse#do you see my vision DO YOU SEE MY VISION#i know there have been some existential moments in the comics like in deadpool kills the marvel universe#or that one snippet at the end of vol 5#idk if they've explored this more in other comics bc i haven't GOT TO THEM but heehhee#ok. goodbye#deadpool & wolverine#deadpool and wolverine#poolverine#deadpool#wade wilson#wolverine#logan howlett

looking through my gif tag and remembering that i’ve made gifs for she-ra, the owl house, kingdom hearts and schitt’s creek like wow kpop has been dominating my attention so much i forgot my true identity as a queer media blog
#now i’m like having an existential moment where i remember that i have a degree in film and television#and i need to figure out how to make a living analyzing queer art because it’s really my favorite thing ever#YES KINGDOM HEARTS IS QUEER MEDIA….#anyway….

“We belong together
Lying here forever
In the cold, cold, cold”
You’ll never believe which gays Bo’s drawing again
Song inspo if anyone wants it (aka uh-oh I gotta add another song to their playlist)
#apparently a tell now for if it’s above 90° where Bo lives is that he’ll start drawing snow#it’s my way of pretending it’s cooler /hj#idk if it’s confirmed or not that Lys is from Snowbelle but in my head it is#it makes his fit make sm more sense#like I remember seeing it and going ‘bro no way is it cold enough in Lumiose to be wearing that’#wanted to draw like an actual happy(?) moment between the two#just imagine Lys took Gus there to show him his estate#and like Lys actually got playful and threw snow at Gus and such until they both fell in the snow#but can’t have em too happy#so yknow Lys goes back into existential crisis mode while they’re laying there and listening to Gus laugh or something#yeah just slightly inspired by that one Effiesketch Snowbelle drawing that I have on my wall and makes me so normal everyday /pos#idk if I should tag or link that drawing but like u guys should absolutely buy it has made my life sm better /gen#I’ve accepted that these gay French goobers will just forever be in my head now#lysandre pokemon#professor sycamore#perfectworldshipping#rainbowpufflez art tag#Spotify

there is something I find inherently funny with Lucy's design. why is she so sexualized. why do u have pronounced metal tits. why do you have a BELLY BUTTON? what is the purpose of all of that maam.
#atomic heart looking ass design#lucy#reverse 1999#certified storm moments#was she created by some other person and they made her look. like that#did she pop into existence looking like. herself#or did she look different and one day decide. 'hm. adler get me a sledgehammer scrap metal and a welding machine.' diy breast implants#oh god i just got the worst idea rn. be glad that i don't know how to draw it into existence and that im busy even if i wanna attempt it#sorry for this godawful post i have to do something to stave off my enroaching existential anxiety

Bucky: Today I realised I'm old
Buck: What happened?
Bucky: I fell on the runway and instead of laughing, Ken came running to see if I was ok
Buck:
Bucky: I saw fear in his eyes
#Ken was only 19 can you believe that 🥹#idk i just think it'd be funny if some of the guys learned that bucky once he came back from the stalag is actually bound to turn 30 soon#and i know 30 isn't old#but i suppose that for them it would seem old in the way that most of them were around 22-25#and bucky before he went down didn't act like more of an adult than them#also his boomer moment with rosie in ep4#anyway i need bucky to realise he isn't exactly part of the 'cool kids' and having an existential crisis about it#john egan#bucky egan#buck cleven#gale cleven#ken lemmons#mota#masters of the air#mota incorrect quotes

strelitzia being in kh4 is everything to me, especially considering the true dandelion sitch. like the reasonable assumption is that this is strelly after being slain by darkness, quadratum is like her afterworld, that sorta thing. that on its own is fun bc, hey, more strelitzia! she's stranded in mortal limbo without any of her loved ones and that's something she and sora can relate with, it's already a terrific set up
but imagine if this is data strelitzia, the one in the white cloak that luxu sends off in the lifeboat. we know from melody of memories when apprentice xehanort's sending kairi off that ending up in unreality is assumed to be possible via the pods (see: "However, if you arrive in a world that's neither of light nor darkness, but somewhere on the other side, your task will be far from easy.")
picture you're a copy of the original person, with full knowledge that you're a copy, and between the both of you, you're the one that gets to live on as "you".
#and i think it's even that much more isolating how the other dandelions don't really delve into the existential ramifications#they learn that a data-daybreak town means data-copies of everyone and they're like 'oh rad maybe we can bring back lauriam's sister'#as if the data versions are just extensions of the original ones#and that tracks! its an angle that's runs pretty consistent in the series proper (see: data!HPO in KH2 stirring memories in real!HPO in KH3#but we've also seen the inverse where data people have to grapple with their existence - or lack thereof (data-roxas in re:coded)#so imagine everyone around you has absolutely no qualms with you being a copy of the one who died#because why would they? you're still you - no matter the form#but you know you're not. and you still have to play by that role anyway#isn't that just quackers!!#all this to say data strelitzia u are the moment of all time#this may be showing my hand on my planned strelitzia animatic#but!!! i gotta hype myself to get back to work on it somehow!!!#kh#kingdom hearts#talking tag

i can do what i want and i want a joyous davepeta pfp happy pride and dont forget to leave the cookies out for your local queers and faggots
a transparent version to put your own flags in, go crazy go stupid, please dont erase my name
#homestuck#hs#davepetasprite#davepeta#pfp#my art#davepeta was relevant for a short but brilliant moment and then disappeared from canon which i think is the smartest move frankly#nobody whos important is ever happy in paradox space#as far as i am concerned they entered the new universe and started distancing themself from the main group to build their own social circle#(cos you know the dave/karkat/jade situation is already crowded and davepeta being there might give dave a new never discovered disease)#((or crack the egg whichever happens first))#started going to like artistic workshops and shit got into modern art and archeology/taxidermy#i think dave's and nepeta's outlook on art actually gives them a pretty heathy perspective on it#not afraid to experiment focused on enjoying the process not terribly concerned with getting “better”#maybe when medical science actually gets created they can get therapyed for their depression and other shit#cos i dont think that that would poof out of existance just because nepeta is there to have self-love#actually she might also have some problems after being dead for 3 years the bubbles are actually existentially horrifying to be in#anyway davepeta rant over i love them we get it

crowley's whole range of human and non-human expression from the final fifteen, but it's an honest reaction to finding out the shitshow of his life is actually considered a "comedy"
#anthony j crowley#crowley#good omens#final fifteen#i'm never letting neil live this down. it's just too funny#especially since the BAFTAs are coming and when/if david wins they will have to do that silly montage of the character#and. his most special acting moments are like half and half tragic and hilarious. just out of context i'd be like HMMMM#inb4 shakespearean comedy and tragedy yes yes but just look me in the eye and tell me crowley would like this descriptor#in a weirdly self-deprecating way maybe. but otherwise uhhhh#in his place i'd go through an existential crisis. again#marcela talks#i want to break queue#good omens s2#good omens 2

Betty is so relatable I would do the same shit for my wife
#simon petrikov#original#at#the moment where she declares that she's jumping into the future to save him. just pure save-husband impulse#and maybe she made the wrong choice but I felt the emotion in my gut and that's good tragedy baby#I would do the same thing and then be in the future and realize I probably fucked up but also what else could I do but#devote my entire life and sanity to saving her after I have destroyed every other option??#it's not healthy necessarily but a fucking apocalypse happened and her wife is in eternal torment. what else could she possibly do??#I'm just obsessed with the attitude she has towards saving him and how it turns from joyful heroism to unhealthy obsession#I have a much healthier relationship with my wife. but also she's never been driven mad by a magical crowd for a thousand years!#and Betty did it!! y'all can argue about whether Ice King was better than Simon and I think he must make peace with every part of himself#but it is extremely consistent in the original series that being Ice King is basically this existentially horrifying Eternal torture#so the fact that someone who loved him decided they would save him from that at all costs is very sad and very beautiful#beautiful because no one deserves to suffer forever. tragic because she was far to willing to take his place if she had to.#betty grof#fionna and cake#golbetty#golb#*driven mad by a magical crown#you forgot your floaties#edit: upon rewatching every episode with betty in it i will say i don't think i would be so hellbent on murdering the person she had become#betty does act selfishly and it makes her character more compelling#but i like to think if my wife went banana-pants ice-king-level bonkers i would be able to love that version of her too#but who's to say whether this story would be the reason I responded differently?#it's a good story

Wow....wow....wow....
#hsr spoilers#idk what to feel anymore#i thought 2.1 turned my brain into mush i was clearly naive#i followed the quest through a playthrough and i'm already having an existential crisis#wonder how everyone else is doing#it's relieving to know that aventurine is safe but sunday.............#will need extra time to organize my feelings and thoughts for him#now don't misunderstand the quest made me love him even more it's just... his story really is sad#i sure do hope they give him closure and a chance#my favorite moments has to trailblazer gaining the harmony path and the last cutscene where robin saves sunday :(#you can't enjoy the penacony story if you play with a speedrunning mindset#take breaks and let the acquired information soak#and the fact that there's still more left phew...#harmonysan.txt
