I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc

#damian wayne #damian al ghul #damian al ghul wayne #batman #batfamily #for all of the issues that come with having Steph as your fave having too much wild shit happening at once is never one of them #btw I quite like The Boy Wonder Issue 1. wow shocker an artist and writer who I have liked everything they've ever done #has once again written something that I am enjoying with art that makes me want to be part of its world.#it's almost like Juni Ba is really freaking talented or something #like I have some problems with it but it seems like many of those are part of the point. Damian is learning that his siblings are more #three-dimensional than he realized and that is part of this 'coming of age' story merged with fairytale #so I can't be mad at the oversimplistic defining of Dick and Jason and Tim until the conclusion of the series. that might be the point.#I hope that the series will address Steph as a Robin but if not then frankly it's not an issue unique to this series.#I'll be annoyed and disappointed but ultimately roll with it like I am with Babsgirl being here. There's too much good stuff here to get #hung up on shit that seems to be almost an editorial mandate at this point. at least that's where I'm at.#I am also very sorry that Chip Zdarsky is massacring your boy. he has 'X (Tim for him) is the best Robin so everyone else must suck' diseas #where a writer really likes one specific Robin and in trying to uplift them demeans all of the other Robins. instead of like...just writing #for that one character only or alternatively not demeaning the other characters in order to make his blorbo look good #it's wild because I actually think his writing for Tim is pretty solid. but he's not writing a Tim series. he's writing a Batman series.#and if you are going to write a Batman series and include other Batfamily members you need to actually write them well.#instead of assigning them like 2 personality traits while Tim gets to be a whole character #I accept that behavior in fanfic where I have lesser standards because it's fucking free. not a comic run that wants me to pay #tens of dollars in order to understand what the fuck is going on. he's been going for a while now it's gotta be a lot of money.#I can buy Steelworks with that money. I can see John Henry and Natasha Irons in a trade. Fuck you Chip.#it's why it takes such a special person to write a good ensemble story/a good Batfamily story. you have to be good at writing a LOT #of different characters. which I don't think most people are. I sure as hell am not. I can write maybe 3 at a time confidently well.#and you also have to give all of them at least SOME love or else people will be upset that you aren't focusing on their fave #and also the writing as a whole will suffer. Chip Zdarsky is a pretty good Tim writer. I'd maybe read a Tim solo written by him.#I would not read a story focusing on multiple characters that I like written by Chip Zdarsky. because every character who isn't Tim #is at least a bit weak/inconsistent/out of character INCLUDING FUCKING BATMAN. THE NO. 1 GUY MOST ARE HERE FOR

me: i finished the latest trailblaze mission in hsr so i can look at what other people are posting now! oh boy i hope it's discussions and theories about the story. i can't wait to see what everyone thought about firefly (what was going on with you sweetie...) and A Child's Dream - that segment in particular really left a profound impact on me. like who is mikhail? the voice we hear throughout is obviously misha's - did he have a twin? does mikhail have something to do with clockie? and from what we heard and saw, misha or... mikhail. encountered the embodiment of Death that lurks beneath the dreamscape. what's... the full story there...? i can't wait to see other people's perspectives it'll help me piece a more coherent theory together-

other hsr fans: *thirstposting about aventurine and/or dr. ratio, trying to cancel sparkle even though the entire point of her character is that yes she's a horrible person because it's high time we see how DANGEROUS and CRUEL the masked fools can be - no more reducing them to the silly wacky hijinks sampo pulled on jarilo; you should be scared of these guys; the game's story never wanted you to make sparkle your next skrunkly blorbo babygirl lol, heated discussions about whether dr. ratio displayed the same racism towards aventurine that sparkle did and if that makes aventurine/ratio a bad thing to ship (??????????), more thirstposts about aventurine, 500 billion generic yaois of aventurine and ratio that don't even maintain either of their characters*

me:

#HONKAI STAR RAIL IS SO GOOD AND YET NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO TALK ABOUT WHAT MAKES IT GOOD #I FEEL ACTUALLY INSANE #I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE STORY!!!!! AND THE CHARACTERS AS INDIVIDUALS #NOT ABOUT HOW HOT THEY ARE OR WHO THEY CAN BE SHIPPED WITH #aventurine isn't even that sexy his eyes are the most interesting part about his design (HIS DESIGN. HIS CHARACTER IS MORE INTRIGUING)#the rest of it is just kind of ... like. yeah he's a blonde man. ok.#and my thoughts on aventio are i think ratio would betray aventurine for a single corn chip. and aventurine would do the same #i do not see a romance ever blossoming there. not even an enemies to lovers kinda thing. they're both too busy playing 5d chess for that #i want to talk about FIREFLY. I LOVED FIREFLY :(#i want to talk about acheron. and MISHA. SWEET BOY WHAT'S GOING ON?#there's so many interesting things going on rn and aventurine is not one of them.#like ok he knows some things but he's such a sleazy businessman about sharing info that idgaf i don't want to learn anything from him #he's always going to leave something out. because he needs to always have an advantage. for this reason i ignore 80% of what he says #i've gotten more context and clues out of everyone else he is nothing to me. i'll eat him.

I made a similar post before a long ass time ago for the other three da protags but now it's time for rook, this time in poll format <3

as always feel free to ramble about your ocs in the tags!! 👀

#💾#dragon age #mostly threw this together bc i think it's a fun dragon age character development question #and i wanted to bring some oc community engagement to the dash today #community? comradery? positivity? idk #← rare moment of me not minding if one of my posts breaks containment #ive had this sitting in my drafts forever and kept forgetting about it so whatever. go my scarab #also i want to make a spirit version but i cant have 2 polls in the same post. L #anyway. for lleyth it's actually hard for me to figure out for once bc like i could see pride for obvious reasons including solas #but at the same time i think lleyth is... actually quite humble and does not believe themself to be any better or more qualified than anyon #like they dont want the position they're in at all and they doubt their own leadership skills constantly #and they do what they must bc they have to. not bc 'they're the only one who can (do it right)' like solas wants to believe ab himself #and i think people who make good targets for pride are people who would do anything for power. lleyth does not want that #which leads me to think they would probably be targeted by despair.#i think they are someone who is used to being forced to lock away their sadness and either turn it into useful rage or compartmentalize it #but there is just. a deep and profound sense of not belonging anywhere and doubting their place in the world/others' lives #and if they weren't the type of person whose instincts kick in like a failsafe and make them keep fighting no matter what #i feel like they really would be stopped in their tracks by an overwhelming feeling of futility and misery #and there are a Lot of miserable moments in lleyth's life a demon could use to manipulate that within them 😔#plus despair seems to be the polar opposite of determination. which considering spite really likes/is drawn to lleyth... yeah. yeah #and the fact that despair demons constantly single out rook in combat is like. haha whats going on there bud........#and i personally think the inverse of this question (what spirit would be drawn to them) answer would be determination #bc damn kid you don't know how to quit. you will punch up at the cost of even your own fists and it's admirable #constantly swinging at something bigger than you that you cant take down etc etc #*take me to war by the crane wives starts playing as i lean out over the balcony smoking a cigarette*#take me to war honey i dare you. i'll be the sweetest thing to ever scare you <3 etc etc #plus its also tasty to me to think about lucanis having to break them out of the Despair Mind Prison #by chipping away at all of the awful things they believe about themself. as payback #🫵 get loved and adored idiot

People really need to give Steel Wool a break sometimes, man- They messed up with Security Breach and now people act like EVERYTHING wrong with modern fnaf is all exclusively their fault when it's really not.

#Chip Chatter #especially when the issue literally WASN'T ATTACHED TO THEM AT ALL!!!#People really just say shit I stg #there's probably one person who'll think this is about one particular post #this post is a culmination of things #the twitter bs going on right now about modern lore and some people pinning all the blame on steel wool even though they don't write the #lore. A conversation I had yesterday with some people where one person kept blaming and shitting on SWS for the smallest of things #The fact that any time I try to talk about a small issue with modern fnaf in any fucking way I'll have people tell me shit like #“it's steel wool what were you expecting” regardless of if the problem was even their fault #and just generally people giving Steel Wool so much shit and most of the time it being over fucking nothing #Like I GET that Steel Wool fumbled with Security Breach oh my fucking god that was almost 2 years ago can we MOVE ON!!!!#They're improving!!! They fumbled one game and a lot of the factors involved weren't their fault anyways!!! Can we give them a fucking #break and just move on with the rest of the series already!!! I'm so sick of hearing people complain about SB when it's been almost 2 years #and Steel Wool is showing nothing but signs of improvement #Cough uhm anyways #of course you can criticize Steel Wool and I'm not saying they've never done anything wrong ever #just don't needlessly shit on them especially if the problem was out of their hands.#Rant over I'm going to bed

American tasked with making an analogy: "Is like highway"

#this isn't even hypothetical; this me watching something and being like 'this analogy is so fucking american'#though if he were a true american he'd have made it about burgers #find a way to make the electrical conductivity of various materials into a burger metaphor #as burgers are objectively superior to highways #can I eat highway? no #can I eat burger? not only yes; but I can eat so many different styles of burger #anyway; joking aside man I wish I had good burgers; if I were rich that's what I'd eat on the grounds it's filling and I can always eat one #pasta I'll end up getting tired of eating before I'm done; like I'm hungry still; but eating is miserable #not so with the humble burger #I'd really like to learn how to make a good burger; cause I can tell in this house it has to be me... no one else is neurotic enough #like I have exacting standards when it comes to burgers (which aren't even that high; just... higher)#and then I also want to make an arsenal of toppings I'm ready to use #your classic burger; your teriyaki and pineapple; bbq (with crispy fried onions if I can manage that); etc #cause the best thing about a burger is that it's a vessel for flavor; not unlike chips #the same burger can have so many different tastes depending on how you dress it up #anyway; foolish american man; making highway analogies instead of burger analogies #I can literally always go for a burger... I just rarely can afford a luxury like that

Georgette's mystery, solved at last. Her Intel 13th gen i9 processor was defective from the start. 😑

They're offering to extend my utterly useless warranty for "up to" 2 more years. You know, the warranty where they wanted to charge me $100 to get a phone call where they'd tell me how to reset Windows? The thing I've not only done dozens of times with computers over the years, but have already done 3 times on Georgette. So yeah, that's a prize for sure.

Oh well, at least I feel a little bit vindicated that it WASN'T something I did wrong and, no matter how many times Dell insisted there was nothing wrong with her, there definitely WAS something wrong with her on a deeply fundamental level.

Poor Georgette. Her life span will be shortened because of this. But she's trying so hard to be a good PC now. I was able to install the Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster and she's playing it like a champ, Denuvo Anti-Cheat and all. Good girl. They put a demon in you right from the start but you're trying so hard now. *patpat*

Pictured: me, Eobard and a good girl, trying so hard

#georgette #computer issues #computer problems #solved at last #it's at least nice to have an answer i suppose #🤷‍♀️#oh well #we'll go as far as she can go #then i'll have to figure out where to go next #this being INTEL'S fault is scary though #i've trusted them for literally decades now and they put out defective chips for the 13th and 14th generation i5 i7 and i9 #that's a LOT of defective computers #it explains why this issue was popping up for more than just dell #intel is currently struggling to meet the demand for all of those replacement chips #*sigh*#what a mess #ageless aislynn

About the whole ADHD "finding a way to motivate yourself without using the stress of impending deadlines" thing:

I hate to say it, but learning to be nicer to myself changed a lot of that for me. I really truly hate to say it. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you gotta find a way to be nicer to yourself inside your own head, in whatever way works for you. I know it sucks so bad to hear.

The other thing is, if my brain is really refusing to tackle a task, often times the main thing I'm feeling is confused and understimulated. Which leads to me sitting there with the jeopardy theme song playing in my head, and then I unconsciously gravitate towards something that's more stimulating and therefore easier to wrap my head around. So overstimulating myself in some sensory way helps me be less confused about what I needed to do. Everybody's brain is different, though.

And uhh the other thing that helped is concerta, and listening to my body, and working on not being so ashamed when I failed. Which means you will probably have to fail a little bit unfortunately

#im so so so sorry #it sucks so bad because so much of what i found that works sounds so much like the trite advice we always get #you have to do it while being nice to yourself. if you try it while still motivating yourself through shame it won't workkkkkk #and the path to chipping away at all that learned shame is really individual and difficult #but the shame and stress are buddies that go hand in hand. they come from the same place #i had to make myself physically incapable of tolerating stress before i realized that it just doesn't matter #like you have responsibilities to your neighbors and loved ones and some of them are time sensitive. but HOW you complete them doesnt matte #and you just will mess up. there is nothing you can do about that. you have a disability. ADHD is a disability #''but if i mess up I'll face severe consequences. that's why i motivate myself through stress in the first place'' YEAH I KNOW IM SORRY MAN #it is still good to try and untangle the shame around doing tasks. it's still helpful.#even if it doesn't help you be more productive it will help your relationship with yourself and the world.#which is actually a really worthwhile and not at all selfish thing to prioritize. believe it or not.#anyway. love you!! sorry!! byeeee #personal #brain stuff

Instead of remaking Lab Rats, how about we officially reboot Billion Dollar Freshman

#if you look at a production picture you can see that Billy and TJ are almost the same height 😭#I know a few times it's mentioned how much their bionics/chips cost in lab rats but this version implies that they cost a billion dollars #you know what I'll make a separate post for BDF some other time because I want to talk about what little information we have about it #the pilot for BDF is something I'd kill to see but alas it is lost media now #disney lab rats #lab rats #lab rats bionic island #lab rats elite force #billion dollar freshman

This wip 🥺💜😭

#sculpture #wip #lunar kamuy #I wonder if I can get away with working a little bit on it #just a little bit?#🥺🥺🥺#did some color chips yesterday of the new cernit I got myself last year #maybe I can do the missing piece of cloth?#the desire is overwhelming... 😂😅 to say the least #sometimes I wonder what I would be capable of doing if not for this damn #chronic illness #how am I supposed to pace myself if I get these overwhelming creative urges 🥲#I'm an artist for gods sake let me ~*CREATE*~#isn't that what I'm here for in the first place 😂#idk I think sometimes I need to do these things even if I'm hurting myself a little by doing it #the trick is to find a good balance right #on another note #the discoloration in the white parts of the rod has faded a lot since it last spread #which is very interesting #also one of the ornaments got ripped off at some point I'll have to reattach it some time

hi utopia :] hrrmm what can i ask you. what’s your favorite fic you’ve ever written

hi scooter!! thats a tough question, ooo.....

in terms of true fanfic, i'd have to say thats asomatous . that fic absolutely reconstructed how i go about writing, since it really just turned out Right.

but, if i bend it a little to include some of my more. original-but-still-inherently-fannish works, then i mean. i have to point to where the dust settles (which i swear im working on its not abandoned ive just been plagued by terralith)

#ask a ghost #asker: sunnyscooter #man has it really been five months since i last posted a fic. what the hell #<- voice of a guy who has had the art & oc brainworms for that span of time... genuinely blame me getting super into terralith #((terralith is the name of the project ive been working on. for context!))#genuinely i need to write more fic but also i have. not felt like writing as much! ive chipped away at small oc pieces but #that doesnt really count as fic in the traditional sense. i was actually thinking abt working on something in the s27 canon but.#i havent gotten around to that quite yet.... but who knows! maybe i'll do that :D #both of the fics mentioned are. very heavy on the paranoia... they are just drenched in my paranoid Dread and its interesting to me #ANYWAYS thats enough from me i saw the email for this and was like 'ok well now i have to get up so i can answer that'#honestly i was going to say 'the shrike & the fox (to consume the stars)' but ik you dont like cannibalism so. ya #most of my recent fic work has been. heavy on the gore/cannibalism/dark themes... ive found myself fascinated by the macabre #praying i havent gotten the 'person who doesnt like cannibalism' mixed up... i THINK that was you. i think...#ough i need to finish working on deathconsciousness... i started writing that but had to pivot to work on other stuff

bills paid time to use adult money for slight hedonisms (after the big one that was also paid) (the slight hedonisms are foreign potato chips and snacks)

#pst #txt #its been 16 years and poulet roti lays have haunted me since #stop being cowards and give us the fucking all dressed and poulet roti chips lays. PERMANENTLY.#also im a dirty american i cannot say how much i need big chip or I'll die. the 1-2 oz bags are killing me.#anyways i anticipate testing the limits on what pork floss can go on
