brief summation of the vibes: i've run amuck on tumblr for some time now. however i am now cursed and blessed with actual work in the arts, which means all the energy and brainspace i used to give to whatever tv show seized my attention is now going towards my professional/artistic endeavor of any given moment! so this is where any loose thoughts rumbling around about pieces i'm working on (or other theatre/art of interest) will get thrown. cheers. expect a lot of elsinore in the coming year
#in the unlikely event that my tumblr posts about plays im working on ever get connected to my actual work#hopefully this will lend me more dignity than the tumblr where all my skeletons (teenage hyperfixations) are buried#anyways yeah. working on rgad and then hamlet over the next 8 or so months. so a lot of that gay little prince coming up#also cant overemphasize enough to anyone New To Me: i work in shitty little theatres. the odds of you sleuthing me out are miniscule#im just a nervous person is all

so interesting to me how we've heard phil's perspective on meeting dan for the first time but haven't heard dan's at all (aside from the mr. burns comment lmao 💀). like i wonder if dan would agree with phil and describe himself as being confident, or if he was also nervous and either was good at hiding it and/or phil didn't see it through his own nerves
(slightly unrelated but i just realized this so i'm gonna put it here: dan and phil are COWARDS because why have they answered two different questions about first impressions and only talked about their impressions when meeting irl.... like why are they still withholding their first impressions of each other online (¬_¬))
#granted im sure they've talked about this privately so like. phil would know how nervous dan was/wasnt bc im sure dan has told him#but we've heard phil say he was nervous and we've heard phil say his opinion of dan was that he was confident#but dan hasn't said shit abt how he felt!!!#and im also not saying it couldnt be the case that dan was confident. but like. im sure we've all been in situations where we're so nervous#ourselves that we don't realize the other person is just as nervous yk 😭 and ik if *I* were dan I would be scared shitless but maybe he's#just better than me idk#dan and phil#phan#d&p#wordvom.txt

hi everyone <3
I have a bit of a life update. To make a long story short, last week I was diagnosed with PTSD. I have been having a... very hard time coming to terms with that. For most of my life I believed I just had a bad anxiety disorder, but I am now realizing that is unfortunately not the case. The past couple months I have been in a near constant state of fight or flight, fear, panic, whatever you want to call it- without really realizing it. and man. it has been exhausting, mentally, physically, spiritually. I just thought it was normal to feel like this all the time. i assumed everyone felt like this. my therapist has helped me realize I am in a lot of pain right now and it is not normal. so. the good news is that there is an intensive trauma therapy that I will be doing for the next couple months that is going to really help me recover. i love and trust my therapist with my whole heart. there is a light at the end of the tunnel. i am finally getting the help i need. so. unfortunately I am going to step away from tumblr for a bit. i dont really want to do this, i love being on here. i love interacting with all the friends i've made here. kink has become a very important and healing part of my life. but it is just a little too much for me at the moment. I'm not sure when I will return, could be a couple weeks, a couple months. I'll return when I feel right. I feel like this may be a little odd to share here, but it's important to me to acknowledge and share that I have been having a really hard time. i tend to downplay when i'm in pain. i feel like people usually don't care about me (i know this is very very much not the case. im trying to convince my brain of that too.) its really hard for me to tell people when i am struggling, especially in my real life. so i am taking baby steps and starting here. so, until I return- chase your tails for me, roll in the grass, bark at the squirrels. take care of yourselves. if you are struggling, know youre loved. get the help you need. i will be curling up in my dog bed and taking a nap in the sun. ruff ruff. wag wag. much love to all of you.
#agh personal posts. i know this is mainly a dogboy kink blog and some people will not care. but this is my blog and i will share what i want#i am safe and okay. i am just.. struggling to accept that i am very very sick right now. i was raised to just push that shit way down.#im done doing that. i am going to have to feel all the pain to heal it. nervous but excited. ready but hesitant.#anyways. hi. i love what this blog has done for me. for what this community has done for me. i will be back. you cant get rid of me!#will be keeping an eye out for messages for the next couple days. but this post is mainly to give myself permission to take a step back.#its weird. i feel obligated to post here and am feeling guilty for putting myself first. but thats the trauma i guess!#anyways anyways anyways. if youve read all of this i love you. thank you for listening. see you soon.#jasperbarks

here's that essay i accidently hyped up (sorry) on how fionna & cake did a poor job of concluding betty & simons characters + story in the final 2 episodes. sorry it is so insanely long. i don't know what my deal is. sometimes a show just does such a bad job of handling your favorite characters that you have to write 19k+ words complaining about it, i guess. im linking it as a pdf bc i DO NOT want to have 2 copy & paste this all over to tumblr & i kinda don't think tumblr would be happy with me making a post that long.
#if it sucks uhm. be nice to me pls 👉👈#ik im very snarky & kinda harsh in this but like. i rlly dont usually share my thoughts on media like this much#im ok w hearing rebuttals btw. but also its not likley youll change my mind#im really happy other ppl enjoyed this ending (& also kinda jealous)#but i very definitely. dont like it#not just from a personal standpoint but in that#i just genuinely think the portrayal of simon & betty was done really poorly#things r bolded + theres random section titles that interupt the flow#bc even tho i wrote this much i do genuinely have reading comprehension issues#as in the actual definition of poor reading comprension. due to disability#not the tumblr thing where its for some reason used to mean ' bad at understanding media ' sometimes#oh yea also the font is big bc of this too#im nervou s abt this but too late now ig#fionna and cake spoilers#im not putting it in the tags its 4 the ppl who already know abt it#its emberassing that i wrote all this but i think its worse if i dont share it bc then i just. have it#mmmm..worst part is i dont even cover everything. i have MORE complaints#text

i hate to be all “um acksually 🤓☝️” but jaime does show interest/sexual attraction towards women other than cersei and brienne, despite the copium, and i do think its p important when it comes to him navigating his sexuality that his understanding of is pretty skewed as a result of the whole ‘destructive codependent incest since like age 7’ thing, he just never acts on it. so i never really understood where this interpretation of him only being attracted to two women (and analyzing the potential implications of him only being attracted to these specific women) comes from
#pia hildy etc#even cat arguably#romantic attraction is diff but he is physically attracted to various women#even if it sometimes makes him very nervous and uncomfortable lol#partly bc its so foreign#and im not at all against queer readings it just this part is just not canon#and the attraction isnt just physical either like with hildy he is very much drawn to her personality and behavior as well#his type is ppl that r pretty intense/stubborn/bold etc#he still a kinsey 5 however

#p4#persona 4#p4d#persona 4 dancing all night#hanamura yosuke#yosuke hanamura#actually low key obsessed with naoto's comment - conversationally adept but terrible at making speeches#personally i would say yosukes not even capable at conversation half the time with his foot in mouth disease#but i wonder if it was because naoto was even worse at conversation therefore making yosuke seem good in comparison#BUT it had me thinking about that time where naoto mentioned yosuke had told naoto that they could be oblivious to other peoples feelings#and then i think about all the private conversations between yosuke and yu and i wonder if yosuke is actually just#pretty good at 1-1 conversations but awful in bigger group setting#and im not saying its my Yosuke-Puts-Up-An-Act-For-Others agenda coming into play again but with i think in a large group setting its just#a little harder to do so#i think yosuke is very sensitive as an individual and he still struggles with saying the right things#but especially in settings where a number of people are watching him talk#he starts to fumble and trips over himself quickly#especially when people start teasing him#because he's started referring to his peers with honorifics becauses hes nervous#but also teddie bullying yosuke like “favourite disappointment” i think teddie means “favourite” more but yosuke only hears disappointment#thinking about how it sticks with him in p4d because when he does a good dance one of his lines are “not such a disappointment after all!”#oh my god yosuke.....#he's good with his queue

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"
I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming
#Kind of like some post I saw a long time ago talking about how even the meanest shittiest most difficult to get along with#elderly people or whaever still deserve to have some sort of systems in place to support them so they're not just relying on the#grace of relatives or etc. who may not be able to deal with them. Not saying that I'm like mean and cruel or anything#but the fact of the matter is in most social situations either I am compromising or the other person is. Not in like an ~`ouuu im so weirdd#nobody willever understand my quirky swagg hee heee~' way but like a.. Just factually the things that make me happy and comfortable#are often incompatible with people. The way I communicate and process things is different from the way other people do and that#is always a barrier. I cannot have ''easy''' interactions. Even with 'understanding' people there is nearly always a significant#amount of effort. You can't walk into a group of people and then be like ''okay you guys all have to wear#masks and you also cant play music too loud and also we should communicate turns of speaking very clearly so group conversations#arent too stressful. and also i need this and that and we have to do this and that and '' etc. etc. You CAN. And some people will#go along with that. but they will ALWAYS secretly resent you for it. You will be the one person they're relieved to not have to be around.#theyre glad when you dont show up since they can go back to doing things however they want and not masking and all these boring#annoying things. OR you can say none of that and just deal with the loud music and the talking and the unmasked people. but then#YOU'RE compromising. and no matter how nice they are it's exhausting to be around and youre just further alienated#while in the presence of people and uncofmrtoabel the whole time.#Which I'm not saying the only form of community is a group setting specificially but just giving that as an example lol#I just wish there were a better option than ''well learn to socialize normally or just suffer then'' . Which I know is not what people are#saying. I guess I just always feel a bit scared when 'community is the answer'. Since its not like 'oh im just socially anxious and need to#get out of my shell~!' or something thats really that remedy-able. It's like.. my mostly unchangeable physical health issues combined#with the mostly unchangable literal way that my brain processes sensory informationand other things means that interacting with#others in a normal and easy way is incredibly difficult and often exhausting especially to maintain in any longform fashion. So then#when it's like ''the answer to staying safe is to maintain longform social connections!! :3 just reach out!!'' then.. ermm... O_O#also I'm not even one of the cutesy shy emotional hermits that's nervous. I'm the Bad Stereotype emotionless robotic cold seeming#looms in the corner of the room type of thing so people have less pity on you in that way. -_- ANYWAY gghj#I need like.. a designated social representative or something.. When I did work in that bookshop forever ago they gave me a#person who basically was just with me to help communicate with others on my behalf and supervise me and stuff. I need that.. Some#more extraverted person I can latch onto and they can maintain the Social Support Network for me and I can just be their +1 to all#of the Social Things and community. I have helpful skills I can contribute to other people and stuff it's just like.. I cant socialize lol#I cook food or something for you.. then you keep me in contact with Community.. a deal. (but then what about when I'm too sick to#contribute? as is often the case. there's not much place for people like me in communities sometimes i fear.. sigh.) ***

sometimes ya just gotta scribble your favorite character giving you words of encouragement. even if that favorite is a guy from your own brain
#shoutout to my Specialest Boy he always has my back#hes not a real person but he's got me!!! he always does!#he's been Getting Me Through It since eighth fucking grade!#whether its nice words or a mental slap and a Do It Scared#setting him as my home screen for extra Courage on this scary day#(have to apply for a job in person somewhere ive never been)#if i feel too nervous i can open my phone and look at his smiling face!#there is a gay ace gender-nonconforming man on my phone and he's 50% of my emotional support#IF HE DID ALL OF THOSE TERRIBLE THINGS SCARED THEN! THEN I CAN APPLY FOR A JOB!#said through gritted teeth and with panicked breathing#i really gotta work on that Do It For Him board...#absolutely unprompted#if i get this done he'd be proud of me and that's all i need#gazing at him lovingly. someday ill pay him back#i have years to puzzle out how i want to put him out into the world#since i highly doubt ill ever manage to get into tv business and make my own animated show#childish dreams! but they soothe me at night#man i just want him to be loved... OKAY IM GETTING EMOTIONAL time to cut myself off tags over

despite my previous post, I don’t know how to handle when people talk abt things I don’t know or understand bc I focus too hard on my own reactions so I don’t accidentally offend them bc there’s only so many times you can say “oh really?” before you sound sarcastic ‼️💥
#LIKE I DONT WANNA ONE RESPONSE THEM BC I HATE THAT TOO YKNOW !!#i get saur nervous#it’s an even tighter pickle when it’s a media I dislike bc I don’t like lying or being rude so I go into customer service mode#but usually I’m interested or like to hear without wanting to seek it out myself#but it’s one of those social skill (?) struggle moments where I don’t know what to do but I try . but end up nervous#job interview ass#‘’right! yeah. uh huh! really!’’ (I feel like the devil !!!)#ALSO THIS IS ALL WORSE IN PERSON BC I WILL NOT MAKE EYE CONTACT AND I THINK IT MAKES ME LOOK SOO BORED BUT IM JUST TRYING TO HEAR#ur honour im turning my ears toward you#also looking at peoples face make me feel exposed and I will immediately focus more on my position again#there is just too much work ‼️‼️‼️‼️🤮🤮🤮🤮#ive stopped trying with the eyes it’s too stressful my heart races#in my head I’m like And this is where I ask a specific question abt this part of the topic ! as if it’s a puzzle (it’s a puzzle to me)#i Hope i dont sound like a hypocrite I was mostly joking in my other post I think I’m aware of when I’m doing too much phphph

The one who carries the Mushroom Kingdom on her shoulders.
#sorry for the caption being a bit corny...i couldnt think of anything else#i want to explain everything here we would be here for a few minutes lol BUT UH#the basics: peach is poisonous. similar to how poison ivy works (via contacting skin) but uh a bit stronger.#a trait gained from her mom who was toad-adjacent#which is why she wears those gloves everywhere.#Because of this fact she believes she has to do things by herself. anyone who gets too close means she has a higher chance of hurting them#And leads to her just....expelling a lot of bottled shit by herself :) yaaay#i wanted to keep the fact that peach is shown to be very emotional person. both in terms of sadness and anger#shes kind but still flawed.#“im a nervous wreck but no one can know that! They're all counting on me!”#it was weird but fun to draw her eyes...idk if those are gonna be the final colors#well that was also a pragraph of tags WHOOPS#JP&E#super mario bros#mario#princess peach#now if youll excuse me i gotta go regain my strength from all this drawing i did. holy shit#eye strain#body horror#cosmo creates#illustration

I feel lame for not having many ocs tbh. Whatever i do what i want forever
#idk i feel like my entire art is only ever used on drawing pre existing characters#usually from popular ips i feel so shallow.#any ocs i make i never get attached to. and if i do im too nervous to post them#or like with my fandom intrests i love them so intensely and then a month or so later#i dont give a shit anymore. i wish i wasnt so reliant on pre existing characters with pre existing personalities to draw#my attention. and draw in general.#bc when im not in an intense intrest phase i cant draw for shit. thatd be a perfect time to draw my ocs right?#but i need to be intensely intrested to draw in the first place. and they aren't fleshed out they dont have content#yhere is no book or movie or show or game. ive gotta do all of that. but that passion isn't there#i get no big ideas for stories of my own. no characters with compelling backgrounds everytging i do#just feels like a rehash or repackaging of something else.#and insult to injury. usually i can pinpoint exactly which pre exosting character im ripping from#which nothing wrong witg inspiration. if it was anyone else i'd be like fuck yeag dude thats awesome#but because its me it feels like stealing stealing stealing i cant think of anything on my own so i must steal#idk. whatever.#i mean i do have ocs but i havent drawn them in fucking forever it feels like. and i love them ig#for once i cant really pinpoint where i pulled them from. but too nervous to post them on#this blog and also again. drawing them feels like a chore because the obsession isnt there#vent#whateverrrrr my interps are baller my lines are swagular. im gonna make it whatever#and also i feel like a flake with my intrests and its not deliberate but sometimes i feel like im#pullibg people in from fandoms then pulling a switcheroo gotcha on them by being invested#in something else#which obviously im fucking not thats stupid im not doing this on purpose#but it still feels so yuuuuucky like im sorry ik this isnt what you folloed me for. sorry#SJATEVER i win at art wbatever whatever

see, as mira's #1 fan I think I should be very pumped to see her again this chapter...and I am but... while everyone is going insane over whether gun or johan's gonna die or johan's ending or whatever, I'm over here feeling underwhelmed by mira's reappearance and her reuniting with johan. i imagined it being more grandiose... and you know... mira getting more than 2 panels? especially with how traumatic their last time together was for BOTH JOHAN AND MIRA.
but alas, every scene mira is in has to be about a man in her life. if not zack then johan. I have accepted that mira is just not important to the plot on her own and I should stop dreaming of the day PTJ gives her depth (lies, I will continue to imagine her in the most poetic lookism spin-off about her and other lookism girls)
#i dont appreciate how generic all the og girls look now#oh yeah and congrats johan#or im sorry if you die next chp or something#ok im kidding this chp was crazy and im happy but nervous for johan too#i personally dont think ptj would just...stop glazing gun like that so im suspicious#lookism mira#mira kim#i also hoped that mira would reunite with johan in the absence of zack but who cares right? haha...#i need to get a life
