Another XY Animatic :))) * loud volume warning
#lysandre pokemon#pokemon lysandre#az pokemon#pokemon az#professor sycamore#pokemon xy#pokemon x and y#pokemon fanart#pokemon#my art#team flare#pokemon animatic#animatic#Kalos#lysandre#gen 6#lysandre's character definitely had that diamond in the rough moment and i really wanted to dive into that untold internal dilemma#i feel a bit of sympathy for lys...as I had misanthropic thoughts before#but soon realized how unproductive unhealthy and draining it felt to keep thinking I hated being human#i also wanted to be perfect but that is impossible .#Ever since i learned to appreciaite the world better and be less harsh on myself with slow steps taken at a time#had to throw in my personal thoughts cause the song felt powerful esp with the way the singer sang in full emotions 😭

been obsessed with astarion ever since bg3 came out. wanted to play it (in large part) for astarion. admired astarion from afar for months in an non-spoiler free fashion. finally got a ps5 and bg3 with the full intention to romance astarion… cracked as soon as i saw the option to romance shadowheart.
#martie.txt#bg3#shadowheart#and honestly with basically zero hesitation#saw the ‘i’d like to get to know you better’ option and blacked out#*jo march voice* beautiful goth women-#this is gonna lead me to replay the game immediately after finishing it so i can romance astarion that time#and not crack again i repeat NOT CRACK AGAIN#the problem with shadowheart appearing first is so dire bc i can’t think of the long game and resist#this is like the yennefer triss dilemma all over again#triss shows up first and she’s so impossible to resist… even though i do want to see the yennefer path at least once

Repeated symbolism: Predatory cats and coniving mices (unsorted notes)
EP 10 Nanami's precious one; The shadow play showcasing how Nanami partly can't name and partly won't take repsonsibility for naming her relationship with Touga. By the time it has been given a cute description, their relationship has actually turned out monsterous. (Note: Touga likes cats, and is Akio's apprentice)
➸
Episode 14 Landscape framed by Kozue; Anthy imitating mouse noises while getting (routinely) assaulted by Akio.
➸
Episode 16 Cowbell of happiness; Shadowplay about the logical trap to think that cozying up to an oppressive power would make them the individual exception from systematic abuse. Applies to multiple chracters, in multiple forms.
#Revolutionary Girl Utena#RGU analysis#my personal theory is that Anthy uses the Black Rose duels to hold a debate with herself.#Meanwhile Utena misses so many answers from the shadow plays which often depict Anthy's/any dispossessed group's (at Ohtori) dilemma.#Utena gets actively discouraged from digging deeper into any questions she has#Akio gives her answers telling her that it's impossible to connect with people. (Like he would care about others...)#The Black Rose duels are all set up for Utena being confused yet going along with inflicting violence#and taking Anthy's sword without hesitation. Whereas before Utena was hesitant to duel in the first place.#The indoctrination of Utena to automatically do something she was vehemently opposed to before...#It is after episode 16 that Anthy begins to actively prompt Utena to consider things more critically.

recently realized that the reason i’m so attached to angst and queerbait is because that longing is the closest thing i can feel to romantic attraction. romantic fluff doesn’t mean anything to me (if anything it makes me actively uncomfortable) and cutting a story off before it gets to that point is my way of.. living vicariously through the characters, i guess. grief is the closest i can get to heartache.
#there’s joy in being aromantic obviously#but i haven’t fully come to terms w that part of myself yet i think#and it’s sad#it’s sad not understanding the feeling of butterflies when you look at someone and the euphoria or a first kiss#but i just. don’t. feel that#and angst is really the only way i can connect to fandoms#that are primarily shipping-focused#because i just don’t see the appeal of romance without another thematic element woven in#which is why i like hannibal and merlin and similar shows#because with hannibal there’s the added element of understanding and intimacy that doesn’t come with a romantic relationship#and the obvious moral dilemma#and the romance in merlin is doomed and unconsummated and so tightly woven with destiny that it’s impossible to discern the two#idk. i’m tired#will rambles#aro vent#aromantic

my real strugglers moment with threshold au in prodigy timeline rn is that like,,,,, im uniquely struggling with the idea of what to do with chakotay post-season two with where they left him,,,,,,,,, it feels weird to me that kathryn’s the one thatd be around more WHICH IS FINE but its just funny how Stay At Home Mom it makes her feel to me haha
like i have to canon compliantly explain why hed choose to go back out into the field rather than be home with his AU kids after having been seemingly lost for 10 years lol. inevitably both parents end up working again which is fine. maybe everyone thinks kathryn retiring early is out of character and it is because she finds out she’s COUGH and discreetly retires, only to get recalled lol.
what makes it even weirder is that the kids would probably be a bit less upset about him just continuing to work bc for them he was only missing for like a year or so(?) maybe chakotay just feels out of place and hes trying to find himself again,,,,,, something something kathryns baby she hasnt told him about yet SHRUG i never like the idea of playing the angle that hes any less of a father to the three kids hes not biologically related to tho :/
#prodigy spoilers#sigh#threshold au#why can’t anthropologist chakotay be real 😭😭😭😭😭😭 he seems so far out of reach rn RIP#go where youre needed chakotay :’(#i should say like im fine with what they did with him#attaching him to janeway’s hip is always bad hecking call in my opinion its very reductive#i just PERSONALLY am struggling with the dilemma of himbo independence lmao but its not impossible

you ever think that since dark and dai have different eye shapes, the eye liner might get messed up after a transformation
or maybe its au natural
@box-of-characters
see the way it works is completely impossible regardless because there are portions where daisuke is just dressed up as dark and not even transformed, but he still gets the bedroom eyes
^ this is literally just him in costume, whatever he's doing works
#*・゚⊰ 𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐃𝐒. ⊱ ✦ › OUT.#*・゚⊰ ANSWERED. ⊱#DJKFDKJGKKFJGK#forget the eyeliner dilemma dylan what hes doing is humanly impossible!!!!!!111#it is just natural 😔 there's no mention of makeup or eyeliner ever anywhere and even in the early LN art#when dai's just transformed in front of the mirror n pulling back dark's bangs#yeah his eyes are just like that#thankfully its rp n i can do whatever i want so daisuke's definitely stuck#wiping off makeup n taking off earrings n undoing 20 belts n removing nail polish after every heist

Would you rather hit every red light for the rest of your life or have slow internet for the rest of your life
Red light as the traffic light?? Aw damn…….this may put me on some real battles with the law……but then i get very infuriated when my internet gets shitty…… this is a tough one user rambosgirl🤔
#i tried thinking of a smart answer#but i cant#this moral dilemma is impossible im afraid#im afraid i have to pick the lesser evil 😔#williamkisser has decided to have slow internet for the rest of my lifr#i will contact with people through letters sent by a pigeon#guys you have to keep your windows open#or at least build a small little box for letters so he can drop them

I forgot how much fun animation was. it should've stayed that way this is bad for me .
#rambumbles#me taking a simple breather project and adding to it making it something more effort-intensive than my last project? impossible.#(head in hands)#I am having fun though do not be mistaken. if I were not having fun I would have given up like 2 days ago#but also. I do not have the time to make this sustainable I need to let myself do simple things oh my GOD#but complicated things are more fun :( I like playing with my touys in new and exciting ways each time#sigh. the employed one's ultimate dilemma..

god. sometimes i really hate those "10 jobs that you can do WITHOUT a qualification that pay over 100k" and they list something like "human resource management" 130k a year!!! when like. EVERY fucking HR job (and other jobs like this, say like librarian- something that i PAID 17k for and burnt out for in postgrad lmao) strictly DEMAND that candidates must have 1-2 years experience AND an HR DEGREE.
very, very, very, very rarely i see something in HR requiring a TAFE (aussie technical college) certificate (ie MUCH cheaper- 7k) or a diploma in HR. it's almost always a degree, barely EVER "no quals or equivalent experience or similar quals"... even for entry level jobs in hr or most defs management positions.
#life#about me#shut up ilona#ilona's jobhunting thoughts and woes lol#ilona's work thoughts#ilona's work dilemmas#and also where are the mysterious “skills based” employers i keep reading about in financial review and on LI#they seem to be fucking lying to me bc fucking low-level employers are demanding the WORLD for even good range income jobs#i do NOT need a HR degree to learn how to learn how to write GOOD job ads#not some of the trash i've been seeing lately and have posted/bitched about on here#ok yeah i get a qual in hr would teach me about relevant legislation in fair work and hiring and award wages and wages etc#which is fair enough...... but ALSO why the fuck can you just teach me on the job about it??? instead of demanding a whole ass fucking cour#*degree/course#.....for it/about it??? mfer i'm NOT paying another 30k (or possibly more) for a commerce degree majoring in hr or even 7k for a tafe qual#it CANNOT be impossible or fucking hard for you to teach/train me in entry level hr admin and hr stuff for the love of FUCK#same gows for office admin positions DEMANDING either from a cert 3 to diploma in business to do front desk admin/admin assistant jobs#i did find one the other day that demanded applicants have a degree in business admin for entry level or even an MBA#WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WANTING THAT FOR WHEN YOU'RE PAYING $26 to $30 an HOUR???????? fuck you. fuck you. fuck you. fucking LAUGHABLE

People can't write a post talking about how lack of financial independence is used as a tool to abuse and the risk in the tradwife fantasies that don't acknowledge that without someone being weirdddddd like not everything is debate class
#but ACTUALLY what if youre DISABLED and hou either DIE or give someone the ability to control you 100%#well then this isnt ABOUT you#chill#want to make a post about the impossible dilemma of financial dependence and its risks to marginlized groups pushed to have no other choice#write a post about it

it drives me crazy when people in this show talk about a vaccine and a cure interchangeably. Those are two VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.
You're talking a vaccine. Infected that have turned are for sure dead. You're not bringing back a person that's been being eaten by fungus from the inside. Come on.
But given what we're told about Ellie's immunity, a vaccine would be super unlikely too. The reason it works for Ellie is because she has the fungus in her brain constantly pumping out whatever chemical messenger is confusing new cordyceps infections. Even if you WERE able to mass produce the chemical, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flushes (it flushes through the central nervous system and then is reabsorbed as the chloroid plexus makes more), it's not constant. You'd likely have to get the vaccine VERY frequently (likely by intrathecal injection- injection to the spinal cord directly- which is super invasive and kinda risky even right now). Even if you COULD get systemic injections (to presumably stop the fungus from spreading peripherally, before it even gets to your brain), you'd have to get multiple ones. Vaccines work longterm by getting your body to make its own antibodies to the invading agent. The fireflies weren't gonna be able to do that.
I think it'd be much more realistic for them to try to create a treatment. Maybe if you treat someone soon after being bitten you could stop the spread of the fungus (like with Ellie). The problem with this is, again, CSF flushes, so who knows if cordyceps would just start spreading again once the treatment was cleared.
TLDR: the fireflies wouldn't have been able to do shit with Ellie.
#it makes me so so angry that they fucked up so badly with the science lol#like i was willing to suspend so much disbelief#KEY POINT: cordyceps does not cross the blood-brain barrier lol#it for sure wasn't growing in anyone's brain#but i was like ok we'll ignore that#but the whole discourse around the vaccine is just so so impossible#not to mention the BATSHIT CRAZY plan to immediately kill your only immune person#ABSOLUTELY BONKERS#and that makes it so much harder to buy into the moral dilemma of episode 9#bc ellie dying wouldn't have changed anything#it was NOT ellie or the world#the last of us#tlou
