I thought of something really funny but I'm at work, damn it!

anyway, what if macaque is bad at photos, like he's not bad taking photos, but he's non photogenic? he's handsome yeah, but he get his photo taken and his shadows make his photos look haunted? his face is all blurry or it's too dark, there are extra limbs, another hidden face that kinda stuff. his shadows just want to be in the pictures too lol

been thinking of ppl saying that mizuena should've been in a yuri or josei manga that isn't popular which is a sentiment i understand bc yes a hypothetical mizuki akiyama that exists in a yuri or josei manga would probably have her transness made explicit i guess (absolutely not guaranteed tho imo considering the amount of transfem manga i've read that quickly veer into third sexing u_u) but even if i accept this premise at face value i'm not fully onboard with it bc i feel like her character exists best in something like prsk bc she exists as a response to trans girls being into things like love live, revue starlight, bandori, etc. it's in her metanarrative…

not saying gacha game writing is always good �� a lot of ppl often say it's frustrating how much it expects you to fill in the gaps (bc that's part of audience engagement) and ena5 was arguably gachapilled abt it but i think it makes sense. gacha thrives on implied queerness bc even when the writers are passionate about what they're writing abt they can't risk alienating executives and wider audiences bc writing queerness in something 'mainstream' is often complicated? so it's not always the writers' choice? i think mizuki is pretty Explicitly transfem though. the only "issue" with her writing to me is that they don't let her say this, which i also only consider a problem /at all/ bc when she's outed it's pretty explicit? gacha often has very character driven writing … the queerness is often also an Audience Draw. i wish they would at minimum call mizuki a girl. textually. i want ena to call her a cute girl … though considering how many ppl go "ano ko", she's getting called a cute girl all the time lol.

with that being said, i think the picnic event is one of my main examples of things that make me go,,, mizuki's character works best in the context of something like prsk as a response to things like bandori bc it's about a tgirl vs cgirl idols. that mixed events inherently highlight mizuki's circumstances as "othered" by society around her and the inherent complications of her own life vs others. ppl compare mafuyu and toya sometimes also but it's so bare bones by comparison bc mafuyu is literally in a dissociative cPTSD fugue at all times. it's about so much more than being forced into a life goal she doesn't want. everything about how her mother has raised her has warped her as a person. made her unable to see healthy or more objective realities. mizuki and mafuyu both have wanted desperately to die and disappear. mizuki even now … struggles so much with that and being around "normal" ppl is hard for her bc of it bc no matter how she tries, she can't be a normal girl. an average girl. so she has to be abnormal or exceptional. no in between. how she exists in contrast to bandori is so genuine in that engagement with gender and i specify bandori bc it's colopales other game.

going back to the picnic event i love the moment when they're eating the food airi prepared and talking about how airi and shizuku are "idols who are capable of bringing others hope", but then mizuki quickly goes from admiration to somberness, wishing she could be the same as them ... and even when the others bring up the music she makes with her circle it doesn't do much to cheer her up? it reads so much to me as a trans girl struggling with an inherent sense of inferiority amidst cis girls who have never had their own girlhood questioned in the way she has and can thus take so much for granted! ena might be really ruthless and mean in a way that is atypical of femininity and airi may have struggled with not being traditionally feminine and was bullied for failing to act out "proper" girlhood, but she still has a very different experience from mizuki and neither can compare to the constant transmisogyny and degendering that mizuki constantly has to go through every day and having her identity denied so vehemently on a systemic level.

it's so pointed to me bc mizuki is an idol fan and has that genre awareness ... the way trans girls often connect with media like mahou shouio and idols but despite their love for it, still feel an inherent sense of alienation due to being an Other ... bc there's a separation between "liking these girls and these things" abstractly versus actually meeting them, and i think it's interesting that there's literally no way in the context of this game that any of these girls could be idols and trans, specifically bc mizuki is a trans girl who can't be one and this game predicates a major portion of its story around mizuki As A Trans Girl! if mizuki tried to be an idol, she'd be outed and harassed! that's a fear she already has to live with when she's making music with niigo even though it's safer due to its anonymity. transness and idols don't have to be disconnected of course, but her being a trans girl who's a fan of this stuff who's disallowed the opportunity to directly take part in them is So fucking important. her engagement with all of this.

this is an event about ena's relationships with other women but also how mizuki exists in the borderlines of girlhood ... how no one else is so prepared as she is for things going wrong and how much she has had to take on undue responsibility in the world at large just to "exist"... she's protected at home but everywhere otherwise, she always has to take responsibility for how others see her, how others project onto her, how others expect her to act, and the event ends with mizuki still declining ena's offer to join the group call with airi and shizuku bc it didn't resolve anything ... bc simply repressing her own insecurities and fears in the moment to rescue ena and airi bc it's more important to act didn't help in the grand scheme of things when this is something mizuki is always expected to do! ena did it out of kindness, but it's terrifying to be invited to a group trip with her childhood friend who is actually a cool and beautiful idol, and then for another beautiful idol to be there. and both of them are so pleasant and sweet and nice. how is mizuki supposed to interact around ppl like that, after all?

the mizuena in the picnic event is so fucking vital bc of ena trying to give mizuki comfort but making her more and more discomforted, which is good buildup to my footsteps, your destination. it's about how mizuki still exists on the fringes of girlhood even when someone is actively making effort to make her feel "included" and the invisible yet uncrossable barrier that exists between her as a trans girl who loves things like idols and idols themselves (who are predominantly cis girls). airi and shizuku are very sweet! but it's… kind of agonizing, bc airi was already ena's "friend" and mizuki feels like she has no place in the lives of others and wouldn't deserve to be ena's friend if ena found out about her transness, which is why she clings to the plausible deniability around her gender status. airi is someone who can bond with ena and be close to her much more easily bc of their shared experience with misogyny, but this is something mizuki has to struggle for much more even though the misogyny she struggles with is even more Amplified due to how the [trans]misogyny she experiences is often denied and erased even among other girls...

[praypanic]

i have to turn off post notifications for liam gallagher i think it’s making me worse as a person

[omgitsbeewave]

talking about scarpulse... we can tell for sure, the guy had a great choice of redstoners that wanted to work in scarland and he choose impulse. in his videos working on scarland redstone impulse is basically trying to impress scar and tell by that, that he choose the right guy for this work

and scar is so impressed!

i will draw them later, i promise ♡

[theadventuresofalittlebug]

For my firsst (real) post hav regressed Skizz! I hasn’t ever seen him drawn as a regressor.

A lovely reminder on this fine Wednesday, before I head to bed, that:

Kaeya is the most important person in Diluc's life, regardless of how strained their relationship is. Diluc LOVES his baby brother and that will never change.

It isn't that Diluc doesn't WANT to apologize for what happened. It's that he genuinely believes he doesn't deserve Kaeya's forgiveness, and isn't sure he can handle the response SHOULD Kaeya turn him down.

He doesn't get the hints that Kaeya, actually, WANTS to be around him. That, despite there being a whole 'nother, reputable bar in Mondstadt, Kaeya still comes to the Angel's Share. Kaeya still exchanges WORDS with Diluc and still writes letters to him, despite how standoffish and distance Diluc tends to be. Kaeya is still PRESENT, and Diluc believes it's purely due to circumstance.

I shall reiterate from my many previous posts: It is NOT Kaeya's fault, and it is NOT Diluc's fault, what happened that night, and we will not accept any Kae or Luc slander on this blog. They both need to shut up and apologize, they were both wrong. Y'don't drop more horrible news on an already emotionally unstable, grieving man ( TIMING, people, TIMING ), and you don't lash out and try to kill your own brother, thus nearly ADDING to the needless death count, after receiving said bad news. Way better ways to have gone about that whole thing.

He would still give up everything to keep Kaeya safe. This includes his life, yes.

Diluc, ultimately, just wants Kaeya back in his life so he can be happy again... so BOTH of them can be happy. It doesn't matter who Diluc falls in love with, how his future turns out to be, whatever. If Kaeya ain't in it, there's no point. Someway, somehow. If he had the proper words to say all nice and beautifully written on a piece of parchment paper, he'd have sent it long ago, or even read it aloud to Kaeya . . . but he doesn't. It's the one time in his entire life where he's being a coward, and all the Mora in the world won't snag him a courage potion.

TL;DR: Diluc loves his baby brother, and wants, so desperately, to have him back.

i am so worried about crosshair. when he first said his name when introducing himself to Mayday i started to cry i missed him so much and i just ache for a happy ending for him even though i know it wont end happy for any of them. i was gobsmacked when he shot that nasty ass imp, im so proud of him and it gives me hope that the chip is failing

i really really hope this season ends with either tbb saving him, or crosshair escaping whatever situation hes in now with the intent to find his family again

[sefif]

I don't know how likely it is to happen but my kingdom for either Lizzie + Gem finalists or Bdubs vs Impulse finalists

My debut fic has 620 hits last I checked and I think I'm going to cry. I can't even think of something I've read/played/watched a hundred times! I haven't even read my fic back myself more than thrice since posting!

If any of you seeing this post have read my fic, genuinely thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have no idea how much this means to me. I hope you have a fantastic day, you beautiful motherfucker you 💜

"And so the Great Sage smacked the evil macaque and saved the day!"

"You saying it all wrong!"

"NO, I DONT!"

It was custom of the monkeys of Mount Huaguo to tell stories during super time, and that night a few youngster decided to tell the time that Sun Wukong had tò face and opponent that was the same as him, the Six eared Macaque. It was one of the most famous stories about the journey to the west, and it was quite cute to see the monkeys arguing about it.

You and Yuán Fèn were currently finishing your own meals when curiosity struck you.

"Say, the thought doesn't make you curious." He rose his head from his bowl full of vegetables, soup, and noodles.

"About the Macaque!"

"Are you asking me if I want to fight an evil version of me, or are you just impying that I have to save you from it?"

"I don't get into troubles...often."

He chuckled, finishing his soup, while you just started to play with one piece of carrot that was floating in your.

"Well, if that day came..." He said, Taking away your carrot from your own soup and eating it in front of you." "I pray you'll be able to have some common sense to recognize an impostor from me!"

You stuck out your tongue at him after the small provocation. You Teo faced many dangers. It wasn't like another one could be different.

((a small drabbke! Doesn't mean nothing!))
