who's pulling the strings of the puppet king?
#lies of p#lies of p romeo#king of puppets#lies of p geppetto#fanart#digital art#hi hello do you think romeo was fully conscious when geppetto enacted law zero (?through him?).#i think about these two a lot... i don't tend to jump straight to the 'deal with the devil' part because there's something about--#--two people with nothing in common but the empty space between them. world's worst grief bonding situation!!!#and there's something a lot more compelling about that to me. and that's not even mentioning the grand covenant in the room--#merits its own post or something else. (because i think about it more than anything ever.)#tl;dr i would kill carlo myself if i got to witness them having the most painfully unpleasant conversation ever had by two people.#anyway i should comment on art process too huh.#the gist of it is if no one got me i know red and black got me.#it's my Old Reliable. i've been nearly gnawing my hands off from. not managing to get anything done in a way i liked so i went back.#i feel better now.... :-)#anyway. worst in-laws ever <3

Something something perhaps the reason Curly lacks a truly undamaged ID where his face is visible is to represent how much damage Jimmy had already affected on him throughout their relationship and the way Curly obscured part of who he is and what he stood to unintentionally cater to this toxic influence in his life.
#I think there is something to say that most people draw post crash curly and may not have every drawn him pre crash#and I think it says something that we only really look at the characters substantially in relation to Jimmy and not their own merits#unless we are discussing how J I M M Y mischarcterizes them cause in this#since we don’t assign a face and identify to Curly’s actions outside of Jimmy until the end their is the question of how much we are viewing#them as separate entities rather than intertwined actions cause while the flipping#of who we play at shows them and parallels and in separable in terms of the story going down#they couldn’t be drastically more different in thinking and you only really realize that at the birthday scene where Curly felt the need to#take responsibility for something while Jimmy just felt the need to take#this is also more so me thinking about all the reason people think Curly and Jimmy could be friends but they are missing the point of Jimmy#and his dynamic there is nothing severely weird or sinister about Curly or his intentions it’s that he’s well meaning to a fault#he’s an average dude having a mid life crisis and Jimmy is a guy that takes advantage of good intentions like the idea#that curly has to be like Jimmy in some way personality humor morally is the exact sort of projection Jimmy wants#to happen and does like it’s the sad and real case that sometimes people just have friends like Jimmy that they can’t cut off for one reason#or another like it’s not highly philosophical people are friends with objective assholes but it’s less about them#and more about the person feeling some obligation to stay like I feel like crafting him into#being more morally grey is to just make it easier to be angrier or think someone with more of a backbone#could of done something but it’s not even that he was spineless he was just too distracted and sometimes that feel like cowardice like even#Swansea waited it’s just the sad truth of how people avoid people like Jimmy or setting them off#sometimes it just does more harm than good I just am so bored with all the takes#acting like there was a perfect man on that ship and that any one outside of Anya knew the exact type of guy Jimmy#was from the get go like the point is other men wouldn’t in rape culture but women and their victims already know#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#curly mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#throwing rocks at Jimmy

i have not painted in... ~3 years. anyway here's a ferryman holding one of his many idols
#my art#ultrakill#ferryman ultrakill#note: the big image is actually an unfinished version of it because i could NOT get a good picture of the final one -_-#i definitely had NO idea what i was doing. but it was still fun! and now i can look over my shoulder and see my dear ferryman on the wall.#obviously it's just very charming to have a painting of a character who's the subject of like. 3 different in-game paintings. heeheehoo#presumably ferrymen would be responsible for MOST of the art in-universe? like all the gabriel murals and statues surely. that's cute to me#they have nothing to do with all their obol so the ferryman economy consists of them repeatedly commissioning each other back and forth#to paint portraits of either them or gabriel. or of them being sensually caressed by gabriel.#after the death of mankind a ferryman's merit is judged entirely by how lovingly they can render gabriel's midriff#... i think i had a point i wanted to make but it's just entirely lost now. sorry

reminder that if you're not watching Crayon Shin-chan then you are living a hollow and empty life. this is not edited. this ripped straight from the movie (Movie 8: Jungle That Invites the Storm, highly recommend for fellow Masaaki Yuasa lovers)
if you need further convincing: these monkeys run an animation sweatshop
#i've made this disclaimer on another post but will again since i've seen a lot more of the movies now#the movies are VERY good and very enjoyable but unfortunately the first handful are bogged down by transphobic/homophobic/okama stereotypes#they kind of vary in their severity. Movie 5 i think is the biggest catalyst because it features the stereotyped characters the most#prominently. Movie 3 doesnt really have caricatures per se but saves a very backhanded reveal for the end#Movies 1 and 4 are a bit more tolerable if my memory is correct. Movie 2 i think is kind of comparable to Movie 5 with its caricatures#in that the characters have similar roles in both movies#i admittedly can't remember what caricatures there were in Movie 6 or 7. 7 i think barely had anything#RAMBLE RAMBLE BASICALLY: these jokes are within the first 7 movies or so 5 being the zenith then reducing down and down. by movie 8 it's sa#e#i give these disclaimers because these movies are all very enjoyable and i would not recommend them if i didnt think there wasnt any merit#o them. they are all very much worth watching. Movie 5 still has a lot of very enjoyable stuff in it (there's a showdown in a supermarket!!#but i just want to make sure that is clear and established since transparency is good to have and i dont want anyone's viewing experience t#be ruined because they weren't given the proper warning#if it's any consolation it's my understanding that even the directors hated doing the jokes#iirc Keiichi Hara really didn't like doing the jokes and i think had a talk with the mangaka Yoshito Usui and was like 'uh dude this is#gonna age horribly can we maybe not'#ironically Hara's first film is Movie 5. which is again the biggest offender#BUT! that is my spiel. my understanding is that it's contained to those 6 or 7 first movies and i think is strictly just a movie thing#so please do give these films a watch but just be mindful at the same time#if anyone needs recommendations my favorites have been movies 4 and 9 but i genuinely really enjoyed every one that i have seen#i've seen the first 11 and a half movies (need to finish 12) and movie 22. the worst i've felt about one is 'oh that was pretty good!'#each film has its own merit and is very very very much worth watching#22 was the first Shin-chan anything i watched and all my Shin-chan expert friends say 4 is a good introductory piece#in case that influences anything/makes it easier to break in#so. thus concludes my spiel#csc#vid

Also it feels a little bit uhhh. Obvious to me that the mainstream audience’s Reaction to the perceived “snub” of Margot and Greta is because for literally several millions of people Barbie is the only new movie that they have seen in their theatrical runs this year*, and they are making more of a definitive judgment of Margot/Greta’s merits in those categories as they stand alone rather than any kind of relative judgment of their performances compared to the category nominees. (The people shitting on the five nominees in either category as if Margot or Greta were more deserving than any one of them are being insane tho)
#*(or maybe they also saw Oppenheimer too but otherwise aren’t paying attention to the film industry in general)#theyre normies they dont go here [i dont either ftr lol] their opinions are generally worthless just ignore them#i mean i think most people understand on some level that commercial success and artistic merit are very different things#so for the most part idt people are saying theyre BETTER than the nominees just 'barbie was crazy successful and i loved it'#this is the conclusion of my Barbie Takes thank u#no I lied I have one more: Ken having ‘more depth’ is bc of the stupid plot of the movie. he was lowkey the main character

My cousin, a published writer, a well-known poet in my country and a literature professor, for whom I've always been no.1 support ever since her first attempts at writing in high school, told me that I must stop writing as a hobby because that's her thing and since I'm writing fantasy mostly my writing could never have any important artistic value anyways.
#what happened was that i was feeling really down these past few days#like mental health dead in mariana trench#and i went to visit her because she lives like 10 minutes away and has a cat i can play with#but yesterday morning a friend of mine made a fanart (i guess i can call it that) of a fanfic i am writing for the five of them#she sent it to me and said she's also working on an actual painting on a camvas of her fave scene from my original story#and i was so surprised and exicted#that's actually a too mild description#and when i was visitting my cousin i showed her the pic of the drawing on my phone and explained it to her and she just said ....ehh..#and started texting someone#i was sitting there feeling stupid and thinking wow you could have at least praised my friend's art sytle or something#and when i was getting ready to leave she asked me if i was aware my writing has no artistic merit and fantasy is trivial literature#so i should just stop wasting time on that and focus on developing my art style more for her future poetry collections#i do the art for her book covers#and added how we already have an established writer in the family so i should focus on my role - becoming a good pharmacist#and she knows how much i hate that i'm studying pharmacy like it's the no.1 cause of me hating the direction in which my life is going#finished it off by saying she feels like what she's doing in going to be really great and important on a large scale one day#and how she wants me to continue being her shadow that follows and supports her#i left went home and started at a wall for hours#i just feel so dumb for getting excited over a silly drawing of something not more than 5 people will ever read#i genuinely hate the idea of people reading anything i write so most likely writing will just remain a hobby for me#and now i feel like the most stupid person on earth and am this close to deleting all my word documents from both my laptops

idk man i just don’t think you have to only root against people who are bigots, sometimes they can just be the people you’re rooting against
#bb25#like please root against bigots by all means i’ll be shouting from the rooftops right there along with you#but…#bb twitter has lost the plot#at least on tumblr i feel like for the most part we can just agree to disagree and move on with our lives#which is wild considering how this platform was even just a few years ago#like you don’t have to like any houseguest as a player or a person#they don’t have to be the second coming of aaryn for you to justify that opinion#you can just find them a little irritating or think they’re bad players or whatever#this isn’t about the micro aggression discourse by the way way i personally think that’s a lot more nuanced#and is a discussion with at least some merit#but we don’t need to make things up out of thin air

I just had the horrible thought that I need to fall in love because having devastating crushes on beautiful, competent, authoritative women that I desperately want to please is exhausting and I need it to stop
#this one is straight so there's no room for delusion which is good#but my burning need to be her most favorite is eating me from the inside#it IS making me better at my job though#.......i mean i think so but what the fuck do i know#on friday night amongst the grueling psychosexual chaos that ensued a very smart guy that I LOVE said to me#i have no doubts you're gonna be a great psychiatrist actually#i traded a month with him to have another month with her#he's a phenomenologist she's a psychodynamic....ist? rival theories#I don't like most of psychodynamic theory.......so far#but i love the way she works and i can see how well it fits with her manymanyMANY patients and goddamnit i love personality dosorders#so i made the choice to go with her yes and im very torn casue i LOVE that guy and i wish i could become his friend like my bff from my year#also.......kind of dumb of me since I'd only soend two days a week woth her and the other three with very scary ladies#but I've been in scarier situation i can manage#and god when she praises me (silently obv she's only been forward about my merit ONCE and i almost pissed myself like an overexcited dog)#the endorphin rush is........man#but yes i need to work on this.......idk how to define it. closest i can get to explaining it is professional sub space#with strong aspects of praise kink#pathetic is what it is really#but hey if it makes me study harder who fucking cares right#I'm gonna be the smartest most intuitive fucking bitch amongst my peers so if I can't have her (them) carnally then goddamnit#I'LL HAVE THEIR PRAISE AND RESPECT AND ADMIRATION AT LEAST#........I'll be normal again in a week or two i just need to get over these next couple of days of....idk. inflammation i guess#yeah it's just like an infected wound right now#angry red throbbing hot pain#i know the drill it'll be better in a couple of days you just need to not freak out and let it do its thing#it's nice to be mature-r about emotional impulsivity and the shame that comes after an episode of deregulation#it really doesn't have to be a big deal even while it still feels like it#it still hurts but it's like......hour three of a tattoo. it's a bitch but you know it's gonna be over eventually and wriggling won't work#the only thing left to do is enjoying it all while it's happening or trying to#I don't think I'm doing a great job but what're you gonna do right

people will go all "just be yourself and love yourself! :)" and then go "if you don't act the way i want, you gotta reprogram your entire way of thinking then reach into the very core of who you are and what makes you you, discard it, and replace it with this better, friendlier, more empathetic version that's coincidentally far more convenient for me to deal with than any other possible compromise we can make that you can do for me but doesn't stretch your mind to nothing but thin bands of what you'd consider 'You' :))))))"
#mine.txt#just thinking about all those 'think positively!' and 'romanticize your life!' posts#like on one hand i can see their merit cause self-hatred though instinctual is ultimately detrimental to your mental health#but on the other hand...some of them (a lot of them) are really just unashamedly asking other people to completely change themselves huh#all in the guise of ''positive thinking'' ''self-love'' and ''betterment'' no less#i suppose i shouldnt be surprised considering most people can barely grasp the concept of someone who Genuinely has muted emotions#as a natural state instead of a depressive symptom#not to mention the human quality of escalating things#so ofc tumblr which seems to currently be in its mental health recovery phase would naturally lean in so hard towards ''radical happiness''#but man sometimes i really do just wanna shake the person from behind the screen and say#'no! dont you understand! this is just how i am! stop implying that everybody who doesnt feel joy at simply waking up is a miserable hag!'#sometimes they dont even imply it they just straight up say it 💀#im honestly fine (as in idc) with seeing them but they remind me so much of those toxic positivity bitches that sell you random hoaxes#and tell you that youre ''ruining their vibes'' when youre not just beaming like the sun every waking second#well idc most of the time that is#sometimes they just trigger my szpd (and my dpd weirdly enough)#with the szpd obviously i dont like being told what to do and what to feel and having some rando assume things about me#but with the dpd its like#oh i must be doing something wrong ofc this stranger on the internet knows more about emotions and feelings than me#cause im a dumbass who doesnt Feel things therefore i must do what they say even to my own detriment#this mainly applies to those guilt-trippy ones so ive learned to steer clear of them#possibly even block the op

it's a fictional cat, go touch grass
oh my first anon hate this is wonderful.... unoriginal but wonderful!!
it seems you might be the one that needs to touch grass considering my very lukewarm warriors opinions got you so mad you just could not help yourself from telling me about it instead of just blocking me
objectum moonpaw they could never make me hate you <3
#asks#wc#this is lovely. thank you anon#i could go on a serious rant about how the ways a fandom treats characters may not effect those characters#but effects people in the fandom with those traits#but i know you dont care#you dont want to have a good faith discussion about the merits of objectum moonpaw or the way fandoms treat objectums#most likely because you yourself dont support objectums#you just wanna make someone elses day worse#but i had a genuinely lovely day#and i stopped caring what strangers (especially cowards) on the internet think ages ago#and i hope you one day learn the same#/genuine!! no sarcasm here#i do assume this is about the objectum moonpaw post bcuz thats the most recent one but honestly#it could be about something else#i often reply to warriors confessions with my opinions. any number of them couldve gotten this guy mad#and if i missed the mark on what you were mad about thats my bad#feel free to clarify (if you see this which i doubt you will)!

My biggest superhero flaw is that I do dehumanize them a bit like that’s not a 15 year old that’s spider man that’s not a child that’s Robin and not in the sense they can’t have normal human reactions or feelings but like. No idc if a grown man is beating up a teenager when they’re both dressed in spandex on the opposite sides of a world ending debacle that just doesn’t matter to me
#i don’t participate in those discussions bc I genuinely do not care enough to learn both sides#like sorry 😭#everybody makes mistakes 💔#but this was prompted by a fic where#damn idk who#KON#Kon was saving tim and Kon was like ‘you think just bc they have masks they’re not people too’#sorry Kon i do#i do think that#IK It’s terrible but#that’s why I don’t engage in the whole Miguel Beating up a kid thing#yknow how many Spider-Man’s there are?#yknow how many of them started at 16?#like say what u want genuinely I’m just not seeing that as a point for or against Miguel as a person#like i get if it pisses u off#i just don’t give a fuck#OH#Bc Kon called it human trafficking and the guy was like that’s not a guy that’s a bat#and like yes#yes but no but also i agree#i KNOW it’s wrong I just. don’t care#whenever I’m talking about Miguel and someone’s like ur defending a guy who beat up a kid! like ok Bruh#not even denying that just doesn’t factor into my thought process at all#thats a dude and his enemy#like the most i care is like. what does it say about the characters and their inner worlds#but the irl Robin is a child soldier discussion disinterests me to the fullest extent#i feel like I’m wording this wrong#in conclusion I’m not saying it’s good or bad I just don’t care#like Im not denying or agreeing Robin is a child soldier I just don’t see the merit in the discussion itself#well I do In general just not for me. great for y’all I don’t care!

People talk about books going on for too long or a series not knowing when to end but personally that is my dream. My ideal book series has 26 entries and each book is 2000 pages long. I want to never run out of material. Thank you
#most of the fiction i read is fantasy pulp that i specifically seek out because i just want something fun to do in my downtime#i read plenty of books that have more merit otherwise i just also like to have a book series that's like a soap opera#just something i can put in front of my eyes and turn most of my brain off for and enjoy the fun magic and dragons#it's a bonus if they have more of a like. point to them besides entertainment but it's not necessary#i saw someone talking about one of those book series for me and they were like yeah it was good but it went on too long#and i was like wow can't relate. i think it actually ended too early#it's a completely valid complaint when it comes to certain series where the main point of the media isn't just to tell a cool story#instead of watching tv i like to read my stupid fantasy novels

"She had found it difficult to make the transition from a mistress with the upper hand to the submissive wife that Henry, a conventional husband, now expected her to be, and her tantrums sorely tried him, driving him to seek solace in other beds"
Interesting quote and a common sentiment, so let’s unpack this:
we know henry also had mistresses while married to c/oa, but...
w/eir et al insist she was the perfect wife, that she never argued with him (the latter of which is not even true, we have contemporary observation otherwise, even before the GM, but accepting the premise for the sake of argument)
so... was it in response to ' tantrums' or was it just henry and a pattern already established?
bcus in the very limited way they acknowledge her upset (which is generally just limited to the elevation of his mistress' son)
the infidelity is offensive but not the central point of the anger, not enough to risk loss of influence to fight against it
it is not written about as a 'tantrum' (nor should it be, i’m merely pointing out the double standard), it is the noble, righteous purpose of her wanting to preserve her rights and that of her daughter
these incidents don’t receive the same treatment even though their context is similar, bcus...at least two of henry's mistresses while he was married to anne were supporters of her opponent (mary, also a threat to her daughter’s status)
so... was it 'tantrums' or was she also not going down without a fight because she viewed them as risking her and elizabeth's security ?
but it doesn't get the same treatment.
and the anne hastings thing with catherine does seem more personal but i digress , it is definitely not spoken of as a 'tantrum' either (nor should it be, again, i’m just pointing out the different language that tends to be used, and the blame cast upon anne & not her predecessor)
what i find really gross here is the implication and double negative inherent within
henry would not have taken mistresses while married to anne if she had more submissive, calmer
dignified even
but catherine was the perfect wife and model of queenly dignity and never said a harsh word to or against him
so... interesting to imply to avoid this she should have been 'more like catherine ' (again, whatever that means) when...it also happened to catherine?
we have a disrespectful comment but no actual record (altho it was a very short space of time) of henry taking mistresses while married to jane s/eymour
but no one says shit like coa should have been more like JS
yet i have seen people argue JS was emulating catherine and that's why he didn't cheat on her..... while forgetting he did cheat on catherine??
#jsut copy pasted this from my groupchat#im lazy but have thoughts#im using anachronistic language but im lazy and i don't feel like fixing it...cope :p#anyway obviously the common thread here is henry#was his infidelity symptomatic? was it only him responding to circumstances? would he not have done so if henry nyp had survived?#would he have gone cold turkey on other women had jane s/eymour survived; had anne lived and had a son?#these are all things i see speculated a lot but it was just his pattern and it was accepted for the time and he had the world at his feet#most would take advantage of those circumstances but it seems more like results of henry's personality and entitlement than specific#reaction to things that angered or offended him or even retaliation for them as is oft suggested.........#his own physician described him as 'overly fond of women'#it's not like. a big mystery to be unraveled. yk?#tl; dr even if this comparison were true and had merit#anne's 'tantrums' and scolds vs catherine eternal calm demeanour and placid kindness#doesn't seem like it made a damn lick of difference wrt henry's fidelity and eventual (altho with vastly different results)#*infidelity#eventual... disclaiming of each marriage#*it doesn't#so...what even is the point we're trying to make here lol#what do people think they are Saying when they say this#it is a quasi-profound statement/ assessment at best

the way that brendan fraser has won every best actor award that he went up against austin butler for because he’s an amazing actor and austin was just one of the Hot White Men of the moment
#g talks#a lot of people have come to realize how horrible elvis was#so I think most people watched it only for austin#because he was hot#which is fine#but it seems like austin thought the fan fair would mean awards#and he’s not winning them#brendan’s performance was judged by the audience solely for merit#it’s not like brendan doesn’t deserve it because he DOES#but you can tell austin feels some typa way about it every time#mine#/mobile#/okay to reblog

i will never shut up about how much i hate the college system in the us and the way it’s all about money because i genuinely love learning and i miss being in school so fucking bad but i simply cannot afford the education i want
#also i was always told that there’s no real difference between the education you get at community college vs a university and like…#to an extent i support that like of course there should be no shame in attending community college and i’m grateful that it’s an option#and it depends on the school and the person but in my experience with the schools accessible to me that is just not true#i’ve attended a university as well as three different community colleges and while the university as a whole was just not for me#there was a HUGE difference in quality compared to all of the community colleges in terms of academics alone#i was miserable most of the time at university bc i found it really hard to make friends there and didn’t like living in that town etc#but i did enjoy a lot of my classes and even the ones i didn’t love or find super engaging did have a lot of value for me#whereas every single community college class i’ve taken felt like a complete waste of time and money bc i genuinely got nothing out of them#all of the content felt watered down and literally all of the material was stuff i had already learned in high school or even middle school#and i understand that not everyone learned the same things in k-12 or even got to attend k-12 so those classes can be valuable for others#but my issue is with the classes that are presented as equivalent to specific university classes (same course name and credits etc)#and then the material/coursework is objectively not on the same level at all#it’s especially frustrating bc i had a full merit scholarship at the university i attended so all of those good classes i took were free#and then at community college i paid tuition to learn absolutely nothing#i left that university bc being there was actively harming my mental health and i still think that was valid for me to do#but at the same time i regret it bc i’ve realized i simply cannot get that level of education at a community college#and i can’t afford any other universities (or even to go back to the same one bc that scholarship is only available for hs applicants)#once again i understand everyone comes from different backgrounds and college is a unique experience for everyone whether university or cc#but for me personally university classes were the only ones that i actually got value / learned anything from#and it’s extremely disheartening to actively want to learn and feel like you have no way to do so bc it’s exorbitantly expensive#i also need to acknowledge that i am white and i come from a middle class family and that privilege applies to education as a whole#there are much much worse positions i could be in and i recognize that#this is just a vent post bc as much as i have to be grateful for this situation still fucking sucks#that’s all bye#vent#lj.txt
