the master works discourse on twitter is killing me. none of these bitches understood the game or its characters AT ALL
#'they should have kept the festival instead of making it so no one knew who link was' HE DID NOT WANT TO BE RECOGNIZED.#his whole thing is that he felt so much pressure because of the attention he got precalamity that he WENT MUTE.#WHY WOULD HE WANT A GIANT FESTIVAL IN HIS HONOR REMINDING HIM OF THE THING THAT LOWKEY RUINED HIS LIFE#LIKE???? okay guys i get it the concept art was pretty. but in terms of characterization it makes NO SENSE FOR HIM#he has been the center of attention since he was 12 years old and he EXPLICITLY DOES NOT LIKE IT#like do you honestly think that the low profile he keeps in totk was not a deliberate choice?? especially when EVERYONE knows zelda???#if he wanted attention he could have had attention. he CHOSE to be 'that guy who's always with the princess' instead of the hero of hyrule#basically his entire adolescence was lost to the calamity. he was not allowed to have an identity outside of his duty to the kingdom#OF COURSE when given the opportunity he's going to choose to build an identity completely divorced from that duty.#he did it. hes done. he doesnt HAVE to be that person anymore. no one recognizes him as the hero and that means that he gets to be HIMSELF#instead. UGHHHH ANYWAYS#sorry i cant start arguments with grown men on twitter so i have to vaguepost here instead#this is self-control. i am Controlling Myself.#personal

The doodles of the night! Because inspirations comes at the worst moments lol
Figuring out that the stuff I like now is very similar to the stuff I liked before is a weird feeling, like, I'm the same but not at the same time lol
Anyway Abacelsus is my new Hubernie and I will die on this hill, they were everything to me back in my worst days.
I've been having these scenarios in my head, I wish I could write them up to also feed you, but I still don't trust my abilities lol
#guilty gear#aba guilty gear#guilty gear paracelsus#fanart#paracelsus guilty gear#guilty gear aba#aba x paracelsus#elphelt valentine#im very sorry elphelt fans#she is always here but never the center of attention#i just like her very much

Mammon's perfect. No matter what character I'm obsessed with at any given time, there's always space for my first man =w=
#obey me#obey me shall we date#mammon#obey me mammon#obey me nightbringer#I wanted a new background for my notebook so I thought “maybe I should draw mammon!”#and then after finishing it I realized there's just too much detail and it's hard to see my folders and stuff soo#maybe mammon is just too great to stay on the background#the man needs to be the center of attention always dkhdkgdjhsgj#my art

why does every anti keep saying that they don’t think elain could grow the way she’s supposed to with azriel? what the fuck does that even mean?? they just say that and they don’t explain and it’s fucking annoying.
#elriel#pro elriel#elain archeron#how would she not be able to grow with him??#by having someone who loves and supports her? and always pays attention to her when others don’t? literally explain what you mean#because i don’t fucking understand how lucien can be better for her growth in your mind or whatever#when EVERY eluc*en fic is centered around lucien and NOT elain#but WHATEVERRRR

I can understand transmasc people who seem to mostly have an issue with simply being called women, tbh. I can perfectly understand why it would mostly be a linguistic issue for some. From a young age, I was jealous of men and aware they were considered less cool than women. This is even worse now because of the internet- I’ll show you one example.
Why is it gendered? Why are men the people who would understand this? This type of joke has always been on the internet, and it’s probably taken on a different form in the past ~5 years or so, but the assumption that the listener/reader is male and that men are the cool, fun sex are a constant. There are small pockets more oriented towards women but most isn’t. It’s always, always bothered me, and I can absolutely see some women just having better connotations with the word ‘man’ than ‘woman’.
Even though a part of you understands it’s misogyny, and it’s not a reflection of actual women, you eventually start to feel like it’s you that’s the problem. I truly feel like if I had kept going down the same route, I would have eventually identified as a trans man, and not nonbinary like I had a first. My brain started to interpret the anguish at seeing things like this and wanting to belong with men as proof I’ve always been one. Even if you have women you care about and don’t consciously think all women fit a certain mold, it still doesn’t feel right. This is made even worse by the trans community acting like ‘cis women’ is a boring thing to be. It sucks. I’m not going to deny that for some individuals sex dysphoria is very real, and not every one shares this experience, but this has existed in my life for a long time, and it felt very real to me at the time. So I do think for plenty of women, it’s not our female body, it’s not feminine clothing, it’s simply being referred to as a women.
#I’ve also been desperate for male approval on this front too#I don’t give a shit about them thinking I’m hot I want them to think I’m HUMAN#When people would say things like women have more fun!! It’d always be centered around beauty rituals and male attention#Also crack conspiracy theory but the “crackin open a cold one with the boys” meme really contributed to this feeling tbh#This type of misogyny very much exists outside the internet. It’s usually more subtle and unspoken though in my experience

#NOT who your favorite is. NOT who you -want- to be most like. who you're actually the most like#I really think I'm 50/50 syd and nick but I'll go with nick#my role in my social life always ends up being the mediator/go-between#if I can do anything I can maintain relationships with two people who hate each other#I am a self-admitted silly guy but at the same time I wish I was taken a little bit more seriously#i want attention but I don't want to be the -center- of attention. I could be in charge if I wanted to but I do -not- want to.#pink floyd

five stages of grief but it’s five stages of social anxiety
#walk with me#this morning i got a bouquet delivered to me at work randomly out of nowhere#the note basically said that i could count of the person even if for just some words of advice or a gesture that could make me laugh or mad#count on the person**#i immediately knew it’s from one of my coworkers and ngl i have a very charged?? relationship with them#in the sense that it’s very intense and we can be laughing joking and teasing or we can be really angry and pissed with each other#it can have very extreme emotions even if we just chill most of the time#idk why i think this whole year i’ve been leaning on them more?? and we started texting more often too#so we’ve been more properly friends lately#and for one i was SO EMBARRASSED for getting flowers bc my coworkers tease the shit out of everyone myself included and i’m not used to#gestures like that so obviously they were on my ass all day about it#and everyone asked about them and it’s EMBARRASSING to get that much attention#(me: i wanna be a singer / also me: can’t stand to be the center of attention)#anyway the person that sent them avoided me yesterday out of nowhere??? idk if they thought i was mad bc i didn’t reply to their texts all#weekend but i literally never reply to anyone and pms was a bitch and i just wanted to be alone#so they didn’t talk to me on monday i was mostly just working listening to music bc i was still emotional whatever#and today i did talk to my other coworkers bc it’s the day when my favorite coworker comes in and i talk to them a lot so i engaged more#and they were still ignoring me and then the flowers came in and we didn’t say a single word to each other today we just texted#they told me they sent them and that ‘they forgot’ what they sent and that it was just meant to be a nice gesture#and that bc they wanted to ‘surprise’ me and make me feel better bc i said i was sad at one point?? idek#i literally just want to tell them I HAD PMS ITS FINE I FEEL SUICIDAL ALL THE TIME and move on#bc now i’m second guessing everything they’re saying bc i thought we were friends and there’s no reason why friends can’t send each other#flowers or whatever but they’ve been avoiding me and then they keep answering my texts really weirdly and i always misinterpret flirting bc#i’m never outright romantic with anyone?? plus we’re FRIENDS i should have no reason to think that’s changed#but they’re being so weird and why get me FLOWERS??? idk get me a chocolate or a coffee i don’t NEED flowers#and then i said it was random to give me flowers out of nowhere and they’re like no it’s serious bro what’s serious??????#your feelings towards me?? or just your will to cheer me up???#if they don’t reply straight up in their next texts i’m gonna flat out say but it was a platonic gesture right???#so yeah i’m overthink getting flowers bc what’s the social code for that and what is one supposed to do when they get flowers from a friend#delivered to their joint workplace where everyone can see them and think they’re from a partner or something

I saw your tags on your Percy Jackson post and I would LOVE to hear your thoughts on the Umbrella Academy 👀👀👀
The tags: #i think both types of stories work#you just have to be CONSISTENT about it [side-eyes umbrella academy]
There's a lot I like about Umbrella Academy, and there's a lot that I forgive in Umbrella Academy because it's a comic book adaptation and most comics have similar problems. BUT.
In S2E9, when the Handler shoots live ammo from a real gun at a child, it's portrayed as sweet and harmless —bullets are just background noise (e.g. James Bond) and this show has slapstick stakes. In S2E10, when the Handler shoots from a real gun at six adults, they have a graphic drawn-out death scene — bullets kill people (e.g. Pulp Fiction) and this is a much darker type of show.
Klaus gets kidnapped and murdered in S1, and his siblings roll their eyes about how he's irresponsible. Klaus gets accidentally killed in S3, and his siblings react with devastation and horror. Violence is funny, when it's Five killing 20 of his coworkers. Violence is horrifying, when it's Viktor killing Pogo. So on.
You can't have it both ways. It creates mood whiplash. It makes the characters feel callous. It can feel like no events ever matter, so there's no point in caring. I can't tell how seriously to take any given scene, because the same sequence of actions is sometimes treated as comedy and sometimes as tragedy.
#nothing to do with animorphs#umbrella academy#to be clear i think the show is a dramatic improvement over the comic in most regards#but the comic does actually have a more consistent mood - everyone is always self-centered and obnoxious#1 and 2 in a shouting match while their siblings watch and all (including 2) willfully ignore that 2 is bleeding to death#might be ridiculous; but it's internally coherent#like we know that diego knows he urgently needs medical attention and it's supposed to be disturbing that he's in denial#even as it's darkly funny that everyone else is willing to go along with his denial#the show instead is like 'diego's injury is a non-issue' (when half his hand is chopped off) OR#'diego's injury is catastrophic' (when he dislocates his arm (the first time not the second time)) with 0 in-between

part of reading comprehension is discerning who the target audience is. this means that if the content you're looking at makes no reference to your unique special exception situation, IT'S NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU
#how do y'all survive always needing to be the center of attention always condemning people for not talking about you#x#the concept of 'raising awareness' did this#now everyone has to be aware of everything#yet another thing to thank the suffragettes for

We could have learned more about Vol'jin in the heritage questline. Like the entire part about the rush'kah mask.
You know, like one Vol'jin wears thats on the banner and tabard to represent the Darkspear. Maybe Rokhan reminiscing when Vol'jin made his own to emphasize the meaning behind them.
#Instead we got Rokhan acting like nothing pre BFA happened#Vol'jin getting more of a spotlight through the expansions is an In The Writing Room problem not a canon issue if it even IS an issue at al#He was front and center because he was all his tribe had in terms of someone to turn to#He refused help because everyone said this was HIS duty.#Rokhan is well aware of the situation Vol'jin was put into and doesnt envy it to any degree#you can easily flesh out the Darkspear as a tribe without resorting to some meta “hey we shouldve given Rokhan more attention huh huh hahah#I think people may have forgotten Rokhan was already a veteran by WC3#I can not imagine in any context Old Vet Rokhan saying HE was hard done by when Vol'jin lost himself in his own duty and purpose#he is not Zalazane 2.0 I assure you.#It would be much more IC for Rokhan to mention Vol'jin being defined by his legacy/took all of his tribes burdens for himself like SOTH sai#and how asking for help is always a better option#Yknow like the entire moral of the heritage questline?#If you just want more Rokhan say it instead of copy pasting it into his dialogue and -#Making him sound like the kid who wasn't the favourite#Basically the less inserting the opinions that the fanbase has on the story into the dialogue itself the better lmao#Im looking at you voiceline about Voljin spending such a short time as warchief

The thing is it is the literal best thing in the world driving across the country with a group of strangers who start becoming family with incredible music blasting all the way down the freeway…….. I just don’t wanna have to do work to unlock that lmao
#I was thinking about this last night and#my WHOLEEEEEEEE youth I wanted to be a musician or an actress#and my m*ther just dropped nuclear bombs on that until there was nothing left#I begged for singing lessons begged to take me to auditions#and she always told me like. ‘if god wanted you to be famous in that way someone will discover you’ and like okay someone discovering me#is not gonna fall from the sky in Massachusetts when I am not WORKING to even be good?????????#so yeah but anyway#I feel this unrelenting itch suddenly of like#what’s missing about this is I should be the center of attention lmao#but it’s just far too late in life to BEGIN to pursue a talent that would land me in that situation nvm all the work involved to get in it#anyway that’s silly af but just something I’m thinking about#I was born to be a leader not an employee and I’m just realizing that’s the problem idfk

I like to think back when I watched the show and I started joining groups because of my love for Malec and I kept hearing how the books were better- and so I wasted my time and money on them and learned how shitty of a person cc really is, and then when I say “no the books are trash”, then book fans get mad and say how the show changed everything. but one of my fav arguments that book fans make (I don’t know why this makes me laugh so much) but they say the one of the worst things they did for the show is that Matt is taller and he doesn’t have blue eyes
like that’s the complaint you have? that’s what bothers you the most out of this whole ordeal? (I’m being for real, I actually see this complaint a lot from book fans) that Alec doesn’t have blue eyes so we don’t get to hear Magnus going on about his fav black hair and blue eyed combo ✨ like that’s what makes you mad the most? the only Alec thing I don’t like is the storyline with Magnus and valentine and the fact Matt doesn’t speak with his actual accent and he doesn’t get to stay sassy and call more people out lmao (the New York accent is EVERYTHING)
it’s so funny to me because it’s such a small, minor thing to get mad at. so the incest, cheating, lazy writing, the misrepresentation and etc doesn’t bother you but fucking hell, Matt is taller and doesn’t have blue eyes- wha a disgrace! and anyone can say what they want about the storylines but I’ll always be fucking thankful they changed
I don’t need to see Simon cheating, more incest storylines so cc can try to defend it as some love story, seeing assault and not having it addressed, showing other characters in the back to make it all about jace and clary!!!! cause it’s not like that wasn’t fucking torment the first time around. I’m glad they killed Jocelyn off, just wish they would’ve done the same for jace and clary. I was so happy to see Malec center stage and to show them as people who fucking matter cause cc certainly didn’t think they did until it earned her a paycheck smh
Malec on screen was one of the first lgbt+ couples and characters I saw that weren’t toxic, didn’t cheat, weren’t miserable because they’re gay, don’t die once they get together, or whatever bury your gay trope someone can think of. this representation matters. I’ve always related to Alec and Magnus so seeing them actually being healthy and not falling to those tropes was everything to me
#anti cassandra clare#anti cc#just my stupid opinions#just my monthly I hate the books post#show malec is superior#y’all can say what you want about the show#show alec is superior#show magnus is superior#show malec#can you imagine how terribly awful the show could have been#shadowhunter show is superior#how dare Alec be taller and not have blue eyes the audacity#it’s still so funny to me though#book fans be like yes I’ll take the incest and shit storylines but Alec has to have blue eyes and be shorter and hate Magnus having a past#how dare alec not be biphobic#alec lightwood#magnus bane#anti jace herondale#anti clace#anti clary fray#I’ll always be grateful for the show when they made Malec the center of attention#gays assemble#representation matters
