sevika making me question if i'm truly even bisexual or just a hardcore glass closeted lesbian that just had her spiritual gay awakening and opened her third eye upon her blantant display of fruitiness once again.
haven't felt this way since mizu's first introduction really.
am i crazy? what is happening to me?
is this what they call gay enlightenment?
#help#is this normal#lesbian#bisexual#god i love women#why is she making me feel things#i need her so bad#i need both so bad actually#this and yap#mala��kacha#sevika x reader#sesbian lex#mizu x reader#mizu blue eye samurai#arcane#arcane sevika#help me out im trying to see something#i like men too i swear#im tweaking#its 3 in the morning#this shall pass#no it wont#ahhhghhhhhhhhhhhh#i can’t do this#is this what they call gay enlightenment?#I look at sevika and think “do I really like men? how could I like men#save me sevika and mizu pls

level of insanity a wip can make me feel: i understand why a person would want to be a dog
#i could not explain this even if i wanted to. i feel like i have ascended beyond. something. what's the opposite of enlightenment#ok so i did actually save this as a draft several hours ago in a brief moment of. something that's for sure#and now i am laughing so hard at it because what did i even mean. what did i even mean by that. like what did i actually mean by that

im really normal about them <- lie
#ace attorney#mia fey#diego armando#miego#lorillee.png#THATS RIGHT BABY. AFTER -um . hold on. *checks notes* - SIX MONTHS. LORILLEE IS BACK WITH PHOTOSHOP ART 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥#every now and again i like to put effort into something just to remind everybody that i can actually draw#well i say that but to be honest i put a lot of effort into those ms paint ''diego fey REAL'' doodles#but half of that is just because humans are a . something. to draw. and urban backgrounds are my worst nemesis#and also trying to work with ms paint to like slightly transform things is an incredible pain in the behind#anyways. yeagh 😎👍 behold the power of miego. getting me to actually finish something in photoshop for the first time in months#anyways. ive discovered the secret to getting me to draw stuff on photoshop. prepare yourselves accordingly#what i need to do is sketch & line something in ms paint. and then directly trace it over into photoshop#and then i can go ham#see because the reason i never did this before was because i would sketch things in ms paint#and try to line them in photoshop and it simply Wouldnt Work.#so i had assumed that if i wanted to draw in photoshop id have to sketch in it first. yknow. which i cannot do for some reason#something about the way the pen feels and the . its like the smoothing setting is on even when its on 0 percent. you know. anyways#but with this one i drew mia in ms paint as per usual . and i wanted to mess around with color & light#and i triedddd to do it in ms paint but unfortunately as you can probably imagine. doing stuff like this without layer filters#can get a little difficult. if you know what youre doing its obviously going to be easier but that being said i do not#when i pick colors i am literlaly just wildly guessing 😭🙏 which is fine for more straightforward coloring/shading#but not quite here. which is why i wanted to take a stab at it in the first place#so anyways i was like FINE WHATEVER and tried tracing the lineart in photoshop so i could take a stab at coloring in there#and i was . enlightened. (no pun intended). it WORKS#so anyways . you may actually be able to expect. some photoshop art from me#well ok thats a lie never expect art from me. but we can all dream together#anyways they really are the star-crossed doomed by the narrative romance ever. everything to me

can ppl in this fandom like... stop... implying that transmasculinity in hcs or (especially) canon is shallow or misogynistic or even transmisogynistic on princible, like literally just by being prescent in someones mind or in the text. like that doesnt fuckin feel good. thats kind of really nasty to imply. if its not okay to say about other trans experiences, maybe dont say it about this one either. why is there a weird little exception here. yall KNOW how much that sucks to hear all day every day. what the fuck
#my t#idk how to tell the hs fandom that every piece of trans coding in roxy in hs1 can be read as transmasc too. like transfem and transmasc#at the same time from the EXACT same reasons. its almost like we all share experiences just by way of being trans. weird i know#its almost like being trans rlly truly highlights what it is to be human and how we are all in fact at the end of the day human together#i just want everyone to stop trying to 'poke holes' in other fans trans hcs FULL STOP across the board no matter who they are#or what the hc is. its needlessly hurtful and more often than not trips into real peoples dysphoria which then#makes the target more likely to lash out. so the person poking them abt it can do a ''SEE? THEYRE ALL MEAN ONE OF THEM#WAS MEAN TO ME JUST NOW'' routine. its so obviously a 'im not touching u!!!' playground maneuver like holy fuck grow up#if you wanna fight for transfem/me folks right to just exist random fans personal headcanons is not the fuckin time or place#the XY in roxys name could be read as her having been DMAB or it could be hussie having a long running giggle about him preordering#his own transmasculinity. roxys colour being pink could be bc shes a girl or it could be compcis!!!#roxys desperation for a bf is from loneliness in canon but its often read as her feeling like she needs one to be a real girl#it can ALSO be read as another aspect of him struggling with compcis and comphet esp w/ his fantasies abt being 'a mother'#yknow what i never fuckin see that rlly highlights the fact that this is just a shitty 'girls rule boys drool' thing? theres like. no#discussions on the potential of roxy being any kinda intersex. absolutely none. he could be mtftm for all you fuckin know#but oh yknow being mtftm is A Shallow Read so we cant have that. hs is only for girls didnt you know we need to terf- i mean turf#out every single instance of queer mascness bc its Evil in the text didnt you know#god help the fandoms word of god token trans boy dirk strider for 'choosing' his eternal misery while everyone else is enlightened#by way of transforming into a girl. bc we must place girlhood on an inhuman pedistal of perfection and niceness and joy and rainbows#like what IS this mahou shojo brand gender essentialism???? im fuckin sick of it#can we remember that girlhood isnt & wasnt safe or joyful for everyone & that that can translate into how we curate our fandom experiences

okay as a fellow lesbian i need ur opinion on lesbian cherry with HEAVY comphet….
ohhhhh okay. yes. i've never really thought about it to be totally honest but i like it i see the vision
cherry dating bob because hes got this huge crush on her, and everyone says theyd be perfect together. u know how parents put their little kids together and gush about how cute they are together?? thats cherry and bob
and she likes bob!! hes sweet and nice to her. so they should date right
and like. her besties all have their boyfriends, and maybe she doesnt really get how lovey-dovey they are with their boys, but not everyone can be bev and brill. and marcia and trip aren't a perfect couple so her and bob are fine, right?
i think cherry just thinks this is what love feels like and maybe everyone else was exaggerating a bit. but shes happy enough with bob, and she really cares about him and trying to help im through his family stuff
listen man i didnt know dating girls was even an option until 8th grade and cherry doesn't have queer friends to help her. i dont think she realizes things until like. college
after bob dies, she stops dating. it just doesnt feel right, or appeal to her really, and everyone lets her be because her boyfriend just got murdered
eventually her parents do the "cherry sweetie you've got to find a nice boy and settle down" and shes like damn. i guess i do
idk where she goes to college. but if its somewhere a bit more progressive.... cherry eventually learns what gay people are outside of the scary stories from home.
#this poor girl just didnt know there were other options#once she finds out what dating and loving someone is Supposed to feel like she is so enlightened and so so scared#sorry this is the 60s/70s oklahoma they cant just let gay people be happy </3#i havent decided if lesbian cherry is a hc im gonna fully subscribe to but i do love thinking about it and i think it suits her so well#she has always had a crush on ace AND bev btw. she just didnt realize thats what that was#ty for hearing out the yaps hehehehe#the outsiders musical#outsiders musical#the outsiders broadway#cherry valance#cherry the outsiders

me seeing any interview with da devs, past or present
#i very rarely read what they have to say bc i know itll be a waste of time#every so often they say something interesting or like actually enlightening but most of the time its just words#every interview is just “hope you're hungry... for nothing”#.txt#bioware critical#this feels mean but ive seen multiple people on my dash say very similar things so i dont feel as bad about it

*video by a self proclaimed historian archeology with mary on a cross dramatic beat in the background fake crying hand on mouth in instagram reels* here is a funeral epigraphy of this young roman lady who got murdered by her husband! People especially men were such beasts right then and haven't changed much! *shows epigraphy where parents of murdered girl both father and mother denounce their daughter's murder as something abominable and either way Very Much Not Uncaring of the girls fate*
#i also just think its dangerous to like. chalk up an entire population/culture as having components that act like a monolith#and every one is a misogynistic violent man who uses women as a bargaining chip and no one cared about their#wife/sister/mother/daughter ever#and well. i know the long dead thousand year long spanning violent state the roman empire doesnt need my defense lol#i just think. generalizing a demographic is bad. and like. how people are just comfortable doing it because#they have decided that the entity they are talking about is 'bad' and thus can say all the shit they want about them#and like yeah. roman misogyny was really bad and disgusting i studied roman literature for fucks sakw#i know what many men thought of women back then#but again. there were other men who cared about their female relatives. cicero and tullia. fulvia and clodius. pliny and calpurnia.#ovid and fabia.#literally the longest latin epigraphy we have is a man mourning his wife and wishing he died in her place and listing how wonderful she was#and when pointed out the people in the comments (whose venn diagram is a circle with bitches who exploit little girls#getting raped and/or murdered to spam I CHOOSE THE BEAR which again. if some bitch did that with me#they'd probably find her bloated naked body in the tevere two weeks later like holy shit its so disrespectful)#is a circle)#say 'buuh oooh well some guys loved their wives/daughter what matters she still died' and well.#people point that shit out because you are already so quick to jump at condemning a whole people as mindless monsters#who only thought about raping impregnating killing their child wives and thats just. not true#do you truly believe every human back then didnt have feelings and just adhered to societal norms?#do you thinl you from the oh so enlightened future are illuminated from those filthy savages and are immune from societal bias?#i also feel that like. the way most of those people approach this is less empathy on#the women who suffered beforeha d#in that place and more 'how can i make this about me a 25 yo WASP woman' yk

tagged by the lovely lovely @thestrangeillusion !! you're so cool actually, and i'm glad to have learnt more about you on your own edition, ehe <33 im a few days late but here are my answers !!
do you tidy your bed
no, because i'm going to lie in it in a few hours lmao. it feels more cosy in its nest state
what's your favourite number
15! or 5? as my birthday dates, they're precious to me
what is your job
i used to work as a veterinary nurse (for the past 2 years) but i just quit!
if you could go back to school would you
... i'm going back to school in september (college lmao), for vet school, so uh,,, yes? 😂
can you parallel park
not at the moment, but in the near future i hope so!
a job you had that would surprise people
i used to sell cured meat at a branch in the airport. or the time i helped my mom's friend with her candle making workshops?
do you think aliens are real
i think that there are many things different from human-likeness that can exist. whether or not they have "intelligence" in the definition relative to humans, however.,,, i think chances are slim. i think they'd be smart in their own ways.
can you drive a manual car
close! i'm learning how to drive right now, have been learning the the month or two!
what's your guilty pleasure
reading ao3 on my light tabs. i don't use incognito because it keeps logging me out of shit, and it's way easier to keep track of the fics im reading.
tattoos
none atm, but i do wish to get either an animal/astronomy related one eventually !
favourite colour
greeeeeen and pink!
favourite type of music
i like pop/r&b? music that sounds melancholic. like day6, d.o (kyung soo), jeff satur
do you like puzzles
i've never had the space for physical ones but brain games are pretty intriguing!
any phobias
hate the fucking cockroaches 👎👎👎👎👎 genuinely, the occurance of those shits randomly in my bathroom gives me so much anxiety that i stopped washing my hair in the specific toilet
favourite childhood sport
,,, i've never exaclty done sports ngl, but i do have a brown belt in taekwondo?
do you talk to yourself
yes. it's the ✨anxiety
though on good days it's a silly narrator in my head that makes life a little more fun!
what movie(s) do you adore
ngl i'm not a huge movie girl but tangled and more recently nimona!! tangled's soundtrack is just, amazing, i adore mandy moore'a voice so much. and nimona is such a treat, especially with all the shape shifting and the gay dads.
coffee or tea?
tea! matcha lattes are so good. and green tea, hojicha, chrysanthemum tea, fruit teas, bruhh the list could go oN. for coffee, i only like mochas that are so sweet they'd make a religious coffee drinker puke. not to mention they either give me headaches or cause me to vibrate so intensely that i might as well be the flash trying to phase through solid objects.
first thing you wanted to be growing up?
a zookeeper! i always knew i wanted to do something animal related, and im glad i'll be able to learn more soon.
tagging @emberfaye @mousydentist @venagrey @jez-bez @chaeul @fairlylokai @the-cookie-of-doom @awiderangeofgreen @ella-norah and anyone who wants to do this challenge!!!
#personal#get to know me#im going to college a bit later than most kids#ngl it's making me a bit anxious#feels like i missed out in some time#but work experience has been enlightening#and the benefit is that i go into vet school with a better idea of what the industry is like#and how to navigate it#which i think is invaluable#given that the scope that a nurse and a doctor would have is not the same#i've learnt many useful things that'll make me a better doctor#so there's also that ig#anyways im not a minor so don't worry lmao

#how do i ask them this without sounding fucking nuts.. i need to start going to interfaith events but the reason i dont go is bc#they make me feel fucking nuts. in my head. woe#& so the cycle continues#but if i have any christian followers PLEASE enlighten me in the askbox tell me everything.#not 2 sound like an annoying atheist but jesus really is so funny to me it's the most unbelievable religion imo#also SO curious abt tamsyn muir. tell me what u believe girl i need to know how it makes sense#bc it doesnt. bc ur worried abt being excommunicated. what gives what's going ON#i need to learn everything abt catholicism to prepare for alecto but it's so boring rip

"ur repressed" okay well have u even considered that emotions r purposeless and only serve to cause harm to those around u and I have achieved a unique transcendent state beyond them. have u considered that
#joking but like. am I wrong though#yeah no one is able to overcome the inherent human flaw of emotion and anyone who thinks they can is in fact mentally unwell#except for me I'm built different I have actually managed to transcend emotion. this is a good thing and not a problem#I saw my father's anger and my mother's discontent and my brother's self loathing and my friend's yearning.#and I saw how it only made everyone more unhappy. and I decided I would be above them all and never let my emotions rule me.#I was scared of the dark until I realized that fear wasn't useful to feel. so I stopped feeling it#this is a good thing and I am a paragon of mental health I think#mmm alternatively I was made to play mediator in a family of traumatized ppl and learned to repress my emotions to the point of dysfunction#but I prefer to think I'm enlightened and have no problems. this is fine and will not blow up in my face#anyways. just now realizing that this might stem from my childhood. oops#also realizing that I'm probably not aro and I just learned to turn off romantic attraction bc I saw how miserable it made my friend??#well. I still don't experience romantic attraction. but probably I should and I will if I ever sort out this repression thing. whoopsie#really she was ready to kill herself over some white guy and I looked at that and was like. nope. I'm never stooping to that level#mm might not help that my parents never loved each other and I never had a healthy romantic relationship modeled for me as a child#but still like really like what is the point. of having emotions. they're just not useful#oh hurr durr I'm angry at my friends for talking over a tv show. there is no way to act on this without damaging ppl and relationships#ohh I'm in love with this guy who will never love me back. THERE IS NO PRODUCTIVE WAY TO ACT ON THIS#literally emotions can only be destructive and I'm a better person for opting out of them#there are no downsides to being repressed! I can still feel positive emotions. I'm happy sometimes. sometimes I'm excited. it's fine#guy who is Unpacking Things live on ur dash. sorry#narcissus's echoes#vent

im getting real sick of 'intelligence'
who decided reading books and writing counted as intelligence? who decided that getting high scores on a strict, unfeeling system meant you were better than everybody? who decided that people should be turned into numbers, tie their worth in society into numbers, to compare people on a scale that ultimately does not matter, so that the people who didn't dump everything to perform for it are berated and the people who did end up with nothing?
who decided not reading or writing was a lack of intelligence? who decided that living differently to them was a sign of lower 'societal worth' than those who conformed?
#r slur#and a big rant#in the following tags#this too is just a tool for oppression#but if you had been crushed in the grips of the education system and left limp in the dirt you knew that already#but it's not only a way for society to weed out the 'retards'. it's more than that#let me tell you something#estonia used to be in tribes around the 1000s-1200s or so#a lot of our old historical records were written by someone else#usually christian invaders and other occupying forces who thought we were barbaric and what have you#because we were pagan (especially with Taarapita) and *we did not have a written language*#according to christian-western ideals this means that our population must be like super dumb#and its 'our job' to enlighten them :)#and they did this with anyone who didn't conform.#intelligence has always been a tool to excuse it#so it feels good#so it feels right#You're 'helping' them. enlightening a primitive race#so that they follow Our standards#it's colonialism all the way down#and it still echoes into the modern day. we still see academia as intelligence while we ignore proficiency in other forms#let's not forget the classism of it either. i live in the CEO of classism#working class people are seen as dumber and are thus treated worse because they didn't dump all of their money/future money into#a societally-approved institution like oxford or something#despite the fact that they rely on working class people to operate#or the fact that their booksmarts don't cover years of knowing how to run a corner store#i suppose the general conclusion i want to convey is that we can all do different things well and using a linear scale is bullshit#(and an oppressive tool lol)#people are good at different things and you have to learn to be ok with that#this applies to anything - trades/ crafts/ booksmarts/ spectrums of neurodivergence/ etc

One of these days I would love to read your meta on the last scene in Je Souhaite.
No pressure 😊
Will add that to the list!
I'm on a mini break (and there's another meta project brewing on the back burner); but will get to this as soon as I can because it sounds fun. :DDDD
#asks#anon#Je Souhaite#S7#xf meta#thanks for droppin in¬#really is a great stopping off point#that I've learned to truly appreciate the more I've gotten into the weeds of Season 8/9 bts#to me canon ends in Existence (while skimming largely over it and Essence)#BUT there's a quality to Je Souhaite's ending that is pretty great#the mytharc is complete#Mulder and Scully have reached “enlightenment” and closure#they're together#and they've found a space in their lives where they can be two normal people who sit on the couch and watch movies#it's the last great shift-- to me#Mulder's incremental journey towards becoming more “human” and attached to this mortal coil#Scully's incremental journey to trust and belief in herself (and to not feel inferior in her instincts/observations compared to her science#it's a great moment#the cherry on top of what she's already realized#and Vince does a great job of showcasing Scully at ease in these areas (i.e. more “normal” Saturdays with ice cream/popcorn/movies)#than Mulder#and that she recognizes this and probes him for a reason (like she did in The Unnatural and Amor Fati etc.)#and Mulder just feeling it was Right#like Millennium (and The Unnatural)#and Scully just getting it#ANYWAY#gotta get to that soon#all meta production is on pause because I'm taking a mini break#but will be back soon¬

It is so funny how easily NS accepts an idea of not 'being a person' (and it is not like Waves treated him as one) meanwhile Wayback has achieved enlightenment and so WB knows it doesn't matter.
it is true that while wayback wasn’t exactly treated the nicest either, he still had a lot of friends among his creators! they liked spending time with him, talking and just having fun. you tend to feel less like a Tool when there’s people out there who treat you human! plus wayback’s just kind of…built himself from the ground up, i guess? he knows his worth and he’s (mostly) learned not to take shit from people. he’s got a creative hobby that he himself chose. he personally knows he is a person, and to him his opinion is the only one that matters in that regard.
with sep it’s different. like you said, it’s not like waves ever treated them as one. but it’s also not like they ever found any friends in their creators. you might have noticed this but sep’s not…Exactly the most friendly. or social. it was rare for their citizens to speak to them outside the topic of their purpose/work/etc. and unlike wayback, they weren’t Allowed to have hobbies. especially not creative. there wasn’t any way for them to express themself anymore, any way for them to show how they personally see the world. that generally tends to make you feel Less of a person, when you’re not allowed to show your individuality. so yeah, to sep, “iterators aren’t real people” sounds pretty damn plausible, even if he’d rather it wasn’t
#and when i say he’d rather it wasn’t i mean it …..#everytime he tries to talk about himself as being just a machine or outside being a person it’s. clearly difficult for him#it’s not something he believes 100% because a stubborn part of him knows it’s *wrong*#and maybe another part of him Would like to not be a person. get rid of all those stupid feelings and conflicting thoughts and#personal needs and whatever else. but he knows that’s not how this works because he Knows what iterators Are#so when he hears wayback’s thoughts on the topic he can’t help but just kind of… stare. because sep always thought it was something akin to#a taboo. admitting that iterators are alive and that they’re people. that even though is so obvious it still shouldn’t be brought up#but wayback Does bring it up because he’s free and enlightened like u said. his third eye is opened#and sep can’t help but just be like …Oh. i didn’t know there was someone out there#who would argue for my humanity .#cramswering

my review of Moonwalk: hot mess. ★★★.
#i will refer to it#but oh god... it's just#1st of all. the added afterword from 2009 should have been a FOREWORD bc it gives you the context for how this book was made#so they did have a real writer put it together based on long transcripts of interviews one of the publishing people did with mj#if those tapes exist or pieces of then exist i need to find them. i think i've seen some floating around#bc ... the way it's written sounds very michael. it's not well written. so i'm surprised they even had an actual writer do it#but that makes me think maybe the writer just pulled a lot of exact wording from the tapes?#i hope that's how it happened#like the publishing lady said i Also wish michael had been devoted to this project. this could've been really good#i'm interested in anything that comes straight from michael so ultimately i'm just grateful he did a book at all#and really WAS involved in it#but it just. it's a mess. it's disorganized. it's disjointed#it just does not deliver in so many ways#there were so many times i would read a couple paragraphs and be like. wait What. that went Nowhere#there are really wonderful parts of course too#first of all i'm happy to hear him talk about parts of his life he didn't necessarily talk about that much#i find everything he says about motown and esp the mid-late j5 motown years Supremely interesting#everything written about music and dancing and performing is great. seeing the way he thinks about those things. divine. enlightening.#the thing is. the tone is extremely defensive and passive aggressive throughout the whole book#which is amusing and i mostly like it. michael jackson was one petty and spiteful mf. he loved being right and he reiterates that a lot#but bc of the press treatment of more personal things like his appearance and relationships. those parts are just. eugh#like when it comes to music/dance/performance he can defend himself no problem. concrete evidence that he's fucking awesome and he knew it#he brings up dating and stuff and it feels like he was like. floundering. maybe he just couldn't decide how much to share?#idk it just feels like. he won't outright SAY some things but he'll sort of hint at things. and i can't tell if what he's hinting at#is the real truth or him being defensive and wanting to give the impression that he was 'normal' so people would just leave him alone#i can't tell. i really can't. i wanna just believe him but i'm like. wtf do you mean. and then there'll be inconsistencies#like WHAT R U TRYING TO SAY. you might as well just tell me what you WANT me to think and what you want people to stop bothering you about#ok anyways#it definitely feels like they rushed to get it out asap#i have like 10 questions for every page. i feel like a writer/editor should've been working with him in that way
