“will you do it? will you do it? i will help you.” this is it for me
#for essek to say this right after refusing to turn back time to undo his own treason. shadowgast makes me so insane you do not understand#‘i think this is a bad idea. too many things could go wrong and i’m unwilling to risk trading my guilt for something that could rival the#calamity. if you want to though. we can do it together. and we’ll make sure it works.’#what if i fucking died. what if that killed me#essek thelyss your lines in this episode will live inside me forever#what a problem#critical role#essek thelyss

the fact that crowley stopped jim from jumping out the window the moment it was clear that jim was not just gabriel fucking with everyone is so personal to me. because:
“okay, i know you’re testing them, you said you were going to be testing them. you shouldn’t test them to destruction.”
crowley was never going to let him jump out that window, he just needed to push him far enough to be sure it wasn’t gabriel.
#there’s something there about what this represents thematically but i’m too tired to figure it out right now#so feel free to pick it apart in the notes#anyways i love crowley sm#when i heard him say that line the first time it resonated deeply with me#it finally hit me why so many biblical stories rubbed me the wrong way growing up#why the way the school system works irks me to no end#no one deserves to be tested to destruction and i will happily die on that hill#good omens#crowley#anthony j crowley#jimbriel#archangel gabriel#archangel fucking gabriel

“I roll over and lean over to look at Sarnax”
“Once I know Shepherd is asleep, I roll over and [casts a spell]”
Hold up. Were. Were they sharing a bed? At this moment? After they’ve established before that Shep and Sarnax have been alternating between the bed and the floor? Or was Sarnax on the floor right next to the bed and I just missed that little detail?
#I’m just going to imagine they’re sharing the bed#but with their backs turned to each other bc otherwise it makes it gay#no but fr idk when it happened but somewhere along the lines their interactions started feeling less like they’re ’just bros’#and more like ‘haha no homo tho’. like??? am I wrong????#I think it might’ve started at the tail holding but idk. I’m almost expecting one of them to outright say something like#’yeah I love ya dude. haha no homo tho.’#am I just being delulu? probably. I’m tired.#no it’s not 2 or 3 am this time. it’s currently 9pm. it’s just rainy and I wanna go to bed. but can’t bc work#unfortunately#ok i’ll shut up now#legends of avantris#curse of strahdanya#silas shepherd morgan#sarnax of the edelwood#shepnax

i still haven’t written out my 261 metapost but i can’t stop thinking about the stsg subtext in that chapter . the parallels between geto slaughtering the village and gojo slaughtering the higher ups…. the fact that gojo does it right after declaring that he has to “catch up” to geto
#IT’S SOOOOOOO#i will die defending gege akutami’s character writing i’m sorry#i think the shinjuku arc is sloppy when it comes to pacing and some technical fight stuff#but character writing wise it’s SO fucking good it’s so incredible it drives me insane#character writing AND relationship writing#which imo are gege’s strongest points aside from fight choreography#like it just . drives me insane#it’s such an interesting line!!!#he needs to Catch Up to geto. he needs to make a choice for himself not knowing if it’s right or wrong just like he did#he needs to carry through with an extreme action to get the change he wants .#instead of the slow “root cause” method that he himself implemented#(which for the record would have been smarter in geto’s case but for gojo’s goal extreme violence Works )#i also think that on some level it’s like … kinda proving geto’s point?#“you could do it satoru.” he has the power to change the world almost however he wants and he finally used it#at the expense of his own morality and sense of reason. which does turn him into a “monster” narratively i think#i mean . obviously i don’t think gojo killing the higher ups makes him a bad person 😭 it’s a very big deal for gojo’s character though!!#he’s always been capable of cold pragmatism. and he’s always been willing to get his hands bloodied .#but NOT with humans/sorcerers and that’s the really big distinction . he’s not psychotic. he never has been.#i think gojo was probably scared when he decided to go through with it. because it really is him trading a piece of his humanity away#:((((((((((((#aughhhhhhhh gege akutami i love you but when i fucking catch youuuuuuuuuu#anyway i should rlly save all this for the metapost but 😭 i needed to get it out….#ari noises ✩#meta ✩#jjk manga spoilers#jjk spoilers#jjk 261

man we live in some interesting ass times
actually if I’m being honest I’ve kind of lost track of what the word is for knee-jerk own-the-libs reactionaries
they’re not conservatives, because they are not conserving anything, I’m not entirely sure what is the content of their thought to make them meaningfully right-wing, but they share traits with the right wing and with conservatives in being reactionary
and they’re not thoughtful enough to be fascists, because the depth of their intellect is to contradict whatever they think vaguely left wing people think
I don’t know what is the word for that
#the conversation that one shitpost unleashed has proven to be yet another window in to the fact that if I am being really honest#I no longer have any idea what the fuck anyone is talking about or thinks#everything is so buried in layers of irony or misdirection#words don’t mean anything#I’m in the wrong line of work

i may be hungry yes but the anxiety serpent in my stomach is on the move and preventing me from actually wanting to eat
#idk what to do to actually calm myself down#i have identified the source and the solution is currently something i cannot control#i have to wait for an email reply that i will probably get tomorrow#and if not i’m seeing the person i’m waiting on tomorrow anyways#and the second thing cannot be resolved until monday because it was a hw assignment that i feel i did very wrong#i stayed in the studio almost 4 hours extra to work through it with some other people and none of us know if we’re doing it right#the prof didn’t explain shit so we’re winging the whole thing and just hoping for the best#my first graph is reasonable but the second one i feel is wrong and idk how to fix it#anyways#gonna try to eat salad maybe before the outdoors club meeting at 9:45#and maybe finish the contour lines on my studio project so i can fully finish the whole thing tomorrow#this sucks balls but we persevere#me rambling

my art from the na vs art party!! took me a lil bit cuz i wanted to color it and that meant cleaning up the sketches and then i wanted to shade them and hajsksldhaflk
the characters from left to right:
Quinn Teeling - @sunsrefuge
Ambrose Wolfsbane - @commander-gloryforge
Finnegän - @pinecone-enthusiast
Astrëllä - @ohpollenpowder
#vsartparty#gw2#guild wars 2#others ocs#my art#also!!! please let me know if i got any of the names or tumblrs wrong!! especially ambrose cuz i didn’t get the name in my ref screenshot#i did go thru the art party tag to find the character i drew and i’m like 99% sure it’s ambrose but if it’s not him i’m SO SORRY#ahhh i hope people like them ajhsjalakf#like i know that getting art of ur oc is usually great no matter what but i get anxious lol#also i used a new shading technique and idk how i feel about it#like i like how i blended out the edges and stuff#but i might have to play with using different colors in different areas instead of just using the same purple lol#really happy with how i did the hair this time tho!! i feel like i usually like hair better in the sketching phase#cuz it’s all loose and rough and messy#i just feel like i get the shape and idk vibe? of the hair better then#and when i get to lines or shading i feel like i end up making the hair too solid? like i lose the flowy-ness of the hair and stuff#anyway i think i did pretty good with it this time tho!! i liked adding the highlights a lot :)#…i actually kinda was referencing an old how to draw manga book i got when i was 11#listen. it was one of the good ones and had actually good tips and info#and the way it showed shading hair kinda influenced me here and i think it worked!#oh wow i really rambled in the tags this time#there’s a reason my personal texts posts (at least on my main) are tagged as ‘regan rambles’

"....probably the same thing that happened to Nature....repeats of the deaths of those I love,...unending,...until I'd just...shatter."
"I prefer about an hour before sunset, actually.- That way, I don't have to worry about an excessive amount of fur when I'm trying to get myself clean. Not really a fan of baths, though- and I don't use shower gel, so I couldn't tell you...unless we're talking shampoo in general, in which case... Run Like The Wind, which has a nice flowery smell to it. It's a bit stronger than the incense I light when I'm meditating in the morning, but it's still really good."
"....if the circumstances were correct,...I'm sure I would." Murk let out a small breath. "...the lives of those I have come to know...mean so much more to me than I could have ever imagined." He nodded lightly. "I would trust the requests of my allies over anyone else's, at the very least...though I do not believe I hold one in higher regard than the others."
"Orange Creamsicle Soda, no contest...and I do prefer cold over hot drinks. Have you seen where I live?"
"I actually don't- but if I had to wear a uniform, I'd want something that looked really nice! Like a button-up suit with a tie, or something. Not that it would really work given my day-job is repairing damage around Apotos, but it would look really snazzy!"
"What purpose do you have in learning about the literature I consume in my free time?" The answer is medieval fantasy, anything with a knight as a main character,....and no, due to being assigned missions left and right, alongside chatty coworkers.
"....flying." The faintest hint of wistfulness was on her face for a moment- and then gone. "I used to own a bike. Perhaps I should see about asking Tails for a new one at some point. I'm sure he would appreciate the challenge of an all-terrain bike that can withstand extreme temperatures."
"Cuddling and help with making gemstones....both of which Temps already does. Sorry anon, the position of 'girlfriend' is already taken~." He's just going to. Lightly stick out his tongue-
"Other dimensions goes against the doctrine of the Chaos Temple, so of course I don't!" He does- he's semi-friends with Murk, after all. And after his disillusionment with the temple,...he doesn't trust their teachings at all.
"Not as if yet. I'm not entirely sure if there's anything worth collecting, out there. The only thing I gather is rings- the higher the purity, the better. It makes me feel...just a little closer to my brother."

Sometimes you are just trying to sleep and your brain conjures up an image of Jack Frost from rise of the guardians to earnestly explain to you that he’s “not human. Not really. Even though I started out human, I’m not now. It’s like eggs, right? You can start out with eggs, but then you start adding flour and heat and all sorts and suddenly you have cake. Once you have cake, you can’t ever go back to being eggs, even if you started as eggs. You see that right?”
“Anyway, when I bleed I don’t bleed blood, it’s all just river water, see?”
#my dreams#eggs into cake dream#hey brain what the fuck does this mean what are you trying to communicate here#Jack Frost#the absolute earnestness he was giving off when he said ‘it’s like eggs right’#I guess this is applicable to my oc dusty who is fae but started out human?? the wrong changeling child?#also need people to know that the last line was said with just as much earnestness#maybe it was all a preamble for Jack Frost to show off the fact that he bleeds water idk#thought it would spook me if he didn’t convince me he straight up just wasn’t human first? so maybe I shouldn’t expect blood?#didn’t Jack Frost die in a pond anyway#shouldn’t he be bleeding pond water not river water#idk I’m going back to sleep I have work tomorrow

FINALLY finished my outline for prodigal son it’s going to end up way longer than i planned </3
#there’s so much i’m trying to get across without making it ridiculously long#i’m like. trying to make it clear that malc isn’t the driving force here#because he’s a bit older than jamie and jamie’s only eighteen and pretty sheltered so it could seem dodgy#and don't get me wrong i'm not going to NOT write something just because it's objectively shady especially for ttoi#but it’s not like malcolm swoops in and initiates everything. that wouldn't fit the characters#jamie’s a determined wee shit and he’s fucking relentless when he wants to be#it’s more a case of malcolm caving and agreeing to let him into His World as it were#and jamie’s always had this anger and this rebellious streak that leaves him susceptible to doing shady shit#he’s not a kid he’s making his own decisions malc’s just here for the ride#and also like. jamie SEEMS like he’s losing his faith at points but it’s actually getting stronger#i don’t want it to seem like he’s given up god for the sake of following malcolm#he’s just making peace with the fact that his god and the christian god don’t align too well#it's kind of like. malcolm is partly helping him be more honest and brave and do some good in the world#but he's also partly (mostly unknowingly) being a genuinely bad influence too#but all the bad shit jamie's going to end up doing comes from himself. it was already there#because i see jamie and malc as huge enablers for each other. it's their whole thing#and i think it's interesting to show them in my fic being (for the time) very radical and rebellious#and it stems from a genuine desire to a) do good in the world and help people and b) break themselves out of the working class bubble#but by the time they reach canon that has manifested into something quite horrible#their rebellion and radicalism is now used to do bad things that don't even justify the end goal anymore#and now they've broken out the working class bubble they're just playing into the toxic westminster mindset#because that's the only way you survive in the game (or at least in malcolm's case. he ends up with no spine)#because he's willing to abandon his principles if it keeps him and the party in power#and at some point down the line the good intentions get lost to his own ego and need for control#anyway i'm normal#ttoi

I talk a lot about teaching and all the good parts of it and the powerful parts of it and it’s all true and also there is something so deeply messy and ugly and raw and painful about the real life exchange of it all and how much I just put myself on the line to communicate a truth and how little I get given back in any tangible or metaphysical way.
#wrong use of the word metaphysical but I can’t think of the right one so it will just have to do#if I had certainty that it was doing good then I would take any lack of recompense#but you don’t get certainty. that’s just part of the deal#you just get ingratitude and flatness and boredom and also the knowledge that you’re stupid if you expected any different!#yes yes all the good stuff i say is real#but this part of it is real too! I am really struggling with it at the moment#I wish there was a way to wrangle my expectations and get them in order#and just take what I get as par for the course#because it literally is#I also wish there was a way for me to be more professional in my actual profession#And I am not unprofessional#but I guess every time I’m going to want to put it all on the line even for the smallest chance of changing someone’s mind or heart#but like. Truly sometimes it’s just like—-but i don’t know that it’s wise or worth it to do it#Or if it’s doing any good at all#like truly I don’t mean it in a whiny way#Well a little bit lol#But I also just mean: who knows? Who can say for sure? Not me.#there’s not any guarantee. And also I’m sure some of the methods I use could use work. I’m sure in the grand scheme of things I don’t know#what I’m doing!! anyway I’m so so sad#and it has been a hard week!#it will pass. as will the feeling I’m sure#thanks for listening#teaching tag

One funny thing to me is that sometimes my bestie will send me reels like this one
And I have to be like. Bestie I appreciate that you’re on my “side” ig but 1 I’m just having fun and 2 in no way did he treat me like his bf and our FIRST text conversation he was like “hey I don’t want you to get the wrong idea bc I don’t want a relationship”
#like. if anyone was “in the wrong or immature here it was for sure me#but I KNEW that going in that’s why I’m not upset or anything#I’m literally chilling and my friends are so mad for no reason#how do you say I’m literally not mad in a believable way. bc I’ve tried and they have NOT believed me#and then I’ll mention us hanging out off handedly and they’ll be like details now I’m like ok here’s the highlights they’re like wtf.#I’m like. I didn’t give you details for a reasonnnnnnnnnnnn#it’s not happening. it’s okay. it’s fine to be weird flirty friends. that’s fine.#also. I kinda. don’t agree with the original post anyway? like. the line between platonic and romantic is so vague like. doing stuff and#then realizing you might have been giving the wrong impression so you communicate what you want is not immature. it’s actually the opposite#so idk#my bestie has been in a relationship for a year and is like. anyone who’s not willing to commit rn is immature like. girl. I don’t even know#if I want to commit. so it’s literally so beyond okay.#the fact that we haven’t fucked yet is honestly? maturity I think. or maybe he just had the entire world convince he wants me and doesn’t#but I think what’s going on is he does like me but doesn’t want a relationship for mental heath reasons (he has kind of implied this im not#pulling this out of my ass) in which case. i do appreciate that he hasn’t tried to sleep with me (bc i would say yes and that would probably#me worse/harder to get over/ignore)#these tags are an essay Jesus. I’ve been drinking all day on the beach lmaooooooo#also it’s my birthdayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy#work guy -_-
