i wish we collectively could have an honest, open discussion about how unfriendly rp spaces still are to people of colour even if they are lead by people of colour, or well-meaning whites.
like, idk, there's still like antiblack events/scenes/dialogues that take place or biases towards white/white passing characters. this doesn' even begin to cover the cliquey nature of rp spaces as is and again, how biased people are and can be even if they claim otherwise. you could have the most open, friendliest space in the world, sure, but even then, they'd still be guilty of at least either: petty gossip or snobbish rpers who think they and the characters they portray (original or canon) are better than you and yours, or hell, just cliquey, exclusionary behaviour.
also, too, usually (i've experienced this myself a lot), if you're a person of colour in an rp space, 9/10 people who are not the same race as you will do just about anything to get your approval with portrayals/creations of characters solely to appease you and not because they have a desire to branch out or challenge themselves to make a character or portray a character that's nothing like them.
#ducky.txt#i don't like rp as much anymore and i still maintain that i was right to leave the space when i was a teenager#because like imo nothing has changed#it just genuinely hasn't#in my experience in the last what? fucking... 3-4 years? it hasn't changed#and i'd been rping since i was 10 on warrior cats forums/rp sites#i stopped at 16 in the msa fandom because the people there were fucking diabolical abusive racist assholes#like. ough / neg#honestly laughs i don't? rp at all anymore to be quite frank#i just headcanon with like holo carlton and randy if im lucky#because like. getting back into the rp space is just not something im sure i can handle anymore and its a hobby that's brought me nothing#but misery most of my life#and usually a lot of rpers make this their sole hobby which also just causes tons of issues if they get crazy about it which they do#literally it's just always been this way! as much as i love oc interactions im not sure i have the heart for it anymore.#been let down and hurt too many times!

the world is so fucked up and i can't help but think the damage is irreparable when i see people talking about how unusual and prudish it is to wait six to ten dates before having sex with someone. ten dates??? roughly like twenty five hours of interaction????? ten old timer burgers and mango iced teas from chilis equals sex?????? the possibility of pregnancy, STDs, emotional devastation, lifelong consequences, not to mention just straight up the possibility of getting murdered, with a STRANGER you have hung out with for maybe like two months???? and that's a LONG TIME???? and if you feel weird about that and don't want to do that that makes you NOT HETEROSEXUAL????? THATS AN ORIENTATION???? BECAUSE ITS SO OUTSIDE OF THE NORM OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR ????? i hate all of you i hate you i hate you i hate you every day i hate and I hate and I hate you
#i genuinely genuinely don't understand how everybody who tries to date hasn't killed themselves yet#I'm not saying they should I'm just saying I don't get how they're able to continue on#i see women on social media talking about how they had to cry for a day because they slept with a man they'd been seeing for a while and#then he never called again#no joke not trying to be dramatic I would just kill myself??? i do not understand how people can keep going after something like that#i mean I would never be in that situation because everything about it is bad but like. still#I hate to kind of agree with the 'women over 25 are too bitter for love' twitter man even in a very roundabout way#but i think men AND women participating in modern dating culture have to in some way become so hardened and kill some part of themself#just to survive??? that sounds so melodramatic but like. I can't understand how else people could continue to function as human beings#when they interact with each other in the way modern dating culture dictates

I love your post truce au Dream being a little shit/pos to Nightmare, Nightmare got to be the Evil brother for 500 years, it is now Dream's turn
Thank you!! I'm glad you like it ^^
And yes exactly!! Nightmare's been hogging the little shit status, Dream is kicking in the door to his castle like ''mom said it's my turn to be the bane of your existence'' and he's gonna have so much fun
#Ask#Anon#UTDR#UTMV#Truce au#Dream hasn't tried to annoy his brother since they were kids but he's a natural#Nightmare may have changed a lot but Dream can still find his buttons and push them pretty quick#Especially now that he knows half the mutiverse. He can spread so many rumours >:3c#Nightmare will figure out how to retaliate eventually (he's way more out of practice on sibling annoyance)#I just wanna see these boys squabble and fight with lower stakes than the entire universe#Also thank you!! I really genuinely am glad people find joy in my goofy ideas <3#And now I need to get dressed and go to work (rip)

#madness combat#madcom#madness combat comic#hank j wimbleton#2bhank#cw blood#been reading yalls notes on the reblogs and i just wanna say#they inspire me so much they give me LIFE#genuinely one of the reasons i draw in the first place#going through them kicking my feet and giggling to myself like a schoolgirl#also to the person that asked...... yes this is technically canon divergent!#as canon divergent as madcom fan content can be. considering the lore of madcom quite literally accounts for AU shenanigans#the ocurrent and the nowhere and the other place and all that. the improbability drive. also the fact that the animation lore and the game#lore CANNOT be fitted with each other no matter how hard you try#not linearly anyway.#or not yet#but yeah here the fall of the nexus hasn't happened yet.

your art is lowkey so cute and id love to see edgar and p03 together in your artstyle (if you want to of course ^_^)
ok so by. the time I realized I was going a bit too crazy on what I said would be an "ms paint doodle", I was already in too deep... ;;;;
when I first saw the ask it was 3 hours old, now it's 6 hours, I can't believe I spent 3 hours on MS paint xDD
anyways I still hope you enjoy :3c !!!! I had a bit too much fun on this one
p.s., I'm probably going to only draw solo - Edgar requests from here on. you're still totally free to send in whatever Edgar-related requests you have but I'll probably just do smaller stuff for the rest of these :)
#p03#inscryption p03#edgar electric dreams#electric dreams 1984#ms paint art#digital art#my art#fanart#requests open#art reqs open#kinda#to everyone who sees this but hasn't seen my prev posts: art reqs are specifically for Electric Dreams Edgar content#but lowkey if you send me in a cute robot I MIGHT draw them. we'll see :3#also I was genuinely originally going to do something light and simple for this#or even just make a finished piece in an hour or so#but I went OFF on the shading 💀#I do need to develop my shading a little more#asks#my answers#also I really respect your dedication to this ship#always down to draw a rarepair that someone really likes

i'm going to scream i got accused of being a transmisogynist by someone on twitter because of this specific part of my t4t steddie art
#ramble#the thing is 99.9% of people thought it was VERY funny#i've had 1 person genuinely have a problem with it and it was because i kept eddie transmasc#basically they were upset because i didn't make them both transfemme bc i just. didn't want to#twitter hasn't learned that not everything is for you and if you don't like something you don't have to interact with it#and just because you don't like something that doesn't mean it's Bad#and also sometimes queer things aren't made to be understood by everyone#it was specifically because they thought it made them into 'just another straight couple'#as if that isn't a MASSIVE erasure of trans people's queerness#trans people in m/f relationships doesn't make them any less queer or somehow inferior to gay relationships#it boiled down to 'but you could've made them lesbians :((' YEAH BUT I DIDN'T#idk it was just absolutely infuriating trying to defend myself without saying 'idk what the fuck you want from me at this point'#anyway transfemme stevie is very big on twt but i didn't know whether to post it here or not#but i might if people want to see it because i love it a lot#twitter would die if they saw the olden days when we called them genderbends and there wasn't any trans content at all

I've been thinking about Falin vs Laios on making friends. Laios being concerned for Falin's isolation and his excitement for making a friend of his own.
#dungeon meshi#dunmeshi#delicious in dungeon#laios touden#laios dungeon meshi#laios dunmeshi#marcille donato#marcille dungeon meshi#marcille dunmeshi#listen.#marcille and laios's friendship has taken hold of me.#Yes they are united in their love of Falin and she is the catalyst for their friendship#but unlike Shuro who was around Laios honestly for Falin's sake that is not the case with Marcille.#Their relationship doesn't dissolve the moment Falin leaves.#Especially with the Nightmare of the latest episode. What Laios tells Marcille is his genuine opinion of her#explicitly not a quote from Falin. She very much wants him around in turn.#Even if... her view of him is an overblown caricature while his for hers is quite stalwart and capable.#(not me slighting her; I just think it hasn't settled in for her how truly highly he thinks of her)#I'm putting this in tags specifically because it's not particularly relevant to the main post but it is why I even had this thought#Anyways; </thoughts from an anime only>

Still going through it emotionally btw. I've seen a lot of character death in anime but it's been a WHILE since I've seen one as brutal as Ace's, especially bc of Luffy's reaction to it. Character death isn't unusual but the trauma and PTSD that comes after it isn't really shown that often so Oda actually showing Luffy going through it is. Oof. That shit HURTS bro. And the fact that Luffy's immediate reaction is to just. Self destruct. To hurt himself and risk his own life?? Like it was never explicitly said but I could see the suicidal intent there and jesus CHRIST. Just sitting there watching him refuse to accept it and then mourn and grieve was absolutely brutal;; Not to mention the fact that like. We can see him having PTSD flashbacks. It was just written very well (too well bc I'm still a goddamn mess) and I gotta commend Oda even tho he's putting me through the fucking wringer
#A character death hasn't hit me this hard since Eugeo tbh. It's been a While#Actually thinking about it yeah Kirito's reaction to that was very similar to Luffy's#And Kiri actually. Did genuinely try to kill himself bc of it. Like it wasn't even subtle#Anyway. Woof. I'm fine ahaha (lying)#Do you ever just go through it emotionally and just need to lie down for a while. That's where I'm at rn#One Piece#One Piece spoilers#Suicide tw#Self harm tw#Monkey D Luffy#Luffy#Portagas D Ace#Ace#Ask to tag#Shima speaks

Hmmm... very interesting to me that Taylor Swift is trending rn and yet for some reason no one in that tag is complaining that her trending is taking away from what's going on in Palestine and what's happening in Rafah. And yet for some reason, people couldn't seem to shut up in the Kendrick Lamar tag when he was trending about how the whole beef was just two celebrities beef (it's much deeper than that) and were making up theories abt how the whole thing was taking attention away from Palestine and everyone talking about it should feel ashamed of themselves (every single account I saw in that tag was posting about Palestine too).
And the thing that's really getting me is that Taylor is trending bc of a change to the Eras tour. An objectively unimportant change to make, especially when compared to what's going on in Rafah. But that's not what gets hate, no, it's the predator getting called out in an industry known for exploitation by one of the biggest artists in said industry. The racism isn't even implicit atp...
Edit: ok so just to clarify no this wasn't meant to insinuate that Taylor trending was some setup of Israel (that's just... like objectively wrong lmao), it was to point out that when it comes to a black artist in hip hop (a predominantly non-white genre) people wouldn't let fans of said genre just enjoy the music and shenanigans happening in that genre and that's it's hypocritical to act like people can't care abt two things at once, but they can enjoy their white "feminist icon" pop star (a much whiter genre) without anyone bringing hate into that tag. like i put in the tags, the anti taylor tag is for filtering bc i honestly don't see this post as particularly negative for taylor swift, it's a critique of the fans. and i'm calling out swifties particularly bc the ones who were saying that the beef was manufactured to take eyes off of rafah were swifties, and the ones being racist in the kendrick tag were swifties. i'm not exaggerating like almost every hate post i saw mentioning the beef being manufactured was a swiftie account. it is weird to act like people caring about very serious allegations happening in a genre of music isn't reason enough to make a big deal of the situation and go INTO THE TAG and complain, but it is especially hypocritical and frankly quite infuriating to see the same people who complained about a big deal of a situation being a "distraction" from gaza and then blog abt taylor swift . it's fine if u want to blog abt music u like, honestly idc abt that, if that's all u do then this legit isn't targeted at u, this is targeted at the swifties who came into the kendrick tag to complain and then went back to talking abt swift two seconds later like they weren't doing the same thing they were complaining abt two minutes before. (sry for the long explanation, but i just don't want ppl taking my words out of context and i rlly tried to word this all clearly, but idk man sometimes u think u word something well and then nobody undrestands wtf u were on abt so i wanted to make sure it was clear) also, if you're a zionist or israel supporter, i will be blocking u if u interact with this post. ok ty bye bye
#ok so i am white and i'm a little hesitant to post this bc i've been trying not to overstep throughout this whole beef#so if anyone thinks this post is doing that please just let me know and i'll take it down#i just haven't seen anyone talk about this#and it's bothering me especially bc when kendrick was trending i kept seeing swifties being racist in the tag#so the audacity of them to complain when kendrick was trending and yet go back to praising their “mother”#it rlly rubs me the wrong way#like how much audacity do you have to have... really.#kendrick lamar#drake#taylor swift#anti taylor swift#<- that last one is just for filtering#and bc i just... don't like taylor swift lol#also the racism hasn't been implicit in the kendrick tag for a while#but yknow that was more for The Point to get across lol#and if anyone thinks this is whining for no reason i have a literal google doc that i had to start of posts complaining in the kendrick tag#bc ppl genuinely were not shutting the fuck up in that tag

if you need to be angry / aren't in the mood to be understanding I completely get it and just ignore this. I'm not trying to make excuses and you aren't wrong to be angry
but
if you want to understand. (but it's okay not to want to understand. you are not morally obligated to want to empathize with people who are threatening your health and happiness. this is just for if you do want to understand. for if not understanding is an additional source of distress to you right now)
I grew up evangelical and I was very brainwashed into believing every fertilized zygote is a thinking feeling frightened endangered helpless person
and if you believe that then
well
no matter how young and scared and unable to cope with this you imagine a young pregnant person. well. they aren't as young and scared and unable to cope with this as a baby
and the people who vote this way. some of them. think they are doing it to protect babies
imagine if you saw every pregnancy as a person capable of feeling pain and fear and the desire to live to be born. I am not saying they are correct I am just saying what if that is why they were voting that way. you could empathize with that, right? you could still love a person who voted that way for that reason. you could sit down with them and talk. about what matters most. right?
if you can
be gentle
be kind
help them out.
#psir#now there are those who just genuinely don't care as much about a person who has already been born#as about one who hasn't#and that's awful!!!#i just#the less we hate each other the better. right?#the more we understand each other the better. right?#us politics

tease tidbit tuesday
it's Tuesday somewhere so starting it off early lol
after 7x09 I had like 4 new ideas (plus maaaany more non-episode related ideas, istg lately there's so many, I don't know what to focus on lol my brain feels loud, and I feel like I'm writing a hundred things at once, I've been a chaotic mess this month istg) but for now im trying to focus on this one fic, and trying to finish whatever this is before the next episode
for now, here's a bit of bucktommy at the medal ceremony after the encounter with gerrard
___
He could punch Gerrard in the face. He really wants to, and if it was a couple years ago, he probably would – but he’s at a work event, the guy is a Captain, unfortunately, and Buck just got a medal, he’s not risking his job right now. He’s not the same impulsive kid he was seven years ago. He’s heard enough stories from Chimney and Hen, and recently some vague ones from Tommy, to know that he hates their old Cap. Tommy seems to want to open up to Buck, to let Buck truly know him, but talking about that past, about himself back then, about the whole environment is not easy, and Buck gets that. They have time to get to know each other, neither of them is going anywhere. Buck’s certainly not planning to, and when Tommy says he isn’t, either, Buck finds himself trusting him, which is very new but so exciting.
“It’s- well, it was to be expected.” Tommy shrugs, his face a careful, neutral mask that Buck’s just starting to learn to see past, then sits down when they approach the table, putting his plate down – they’re sharing it with Eddie, Marisol and Christopher, but the three of them are still at the buffet getting food. Buck takes a seat next to him, then scoots his chair closer – close enough that their knees touch, but far enough that they still appear professional. “It just threw me off. Actually, threw me twenty years back for a moment.” he huffs an unamused, bitter laugh.

If Rain breaks Payu's rules, he gets a punishment.
Rain isn't mad at all about Payu not texting him like he had promised weeks before he would-
Rain probably dismissed those as just words, maybe even forgot.
Payu is showing Rain that he takes those words very seriously. That is a Rule- "Rain's" Rule (quotes because he came up with it on Rain's behalf). A foundation of their relationship as much as Payu's own Rules of "no cursing" and "responsibilities come first".
Even though Rain has said nothing about Payu being out of reach and not texting him, Payu needs to acknowledge that the Rule was broken. Especially since this is the first violation of "Rain's" Rule.
He asks for forgiveness wholeheartedly and sincerely, and waits patiently for Rain's forgiveness. A Dom who takes and never gives is no Dom, that's an abuser, and it's how Sky ended up hurt so horrifically. Payu is the example of the true and genuine Dom- someone who respects their sub with the same wholehearted care and devotion as they expect to receive. No matter if it's a big or small mistake.
#payu#rain#payurain#love in the air#lita#also shoutout to novel-payu because you see there that the rules are bendable within reason#the best example would be an instance where rain is overworked; hasn't slept in days; hasn't EATEN in days#he has an absolute meltdown and is yelling profanities about his professors and making up for lost time with the cursing#and at no point does punishing him even cross payu's mind#he just sits there patiently and feels genuinely bad for how hard it is on rain#he then tricks rain into getting one night of good sleep by swearing he will wake him up within an hour#and then because he knows rain will be upset about missed time- payu stays up and works on rain's model to keep him on track#and then asks for a temporary rule that each day rain has to have a 30 minute meal with only payu and no homework#so payu can make sure rain is eating; rain gets a mental break; and they can just spend a bit of time together as boyfriends

"I hope you told your brother how much you loved him, because you're probably never gonna see him again."

"Was that too dark?"
"YES!"
"Sorry."
#mario movie#mario move spoilers#super mario bros movie#super mario bros#mario and luigi#super mario bros movie spoilers#cherrysip edits#i was gonna make a different gifset today but then i found that new trailer and WELL HERE WE ARE lol#TOAD SERIOUSLY CAN YOU READ THE ROOM HERE???????????#first time in the town was kinda funny second time was genuinely a bit upsetting to the point that i gasped when i heard the dialogue#mario would prefer you Do Not Say Things Like That!!!!!!!#he is no way shape or form emotionally prepared to grapple with the idea of his brother being dead or never being able to find him#that would end him. that would destroy him. he would truly not know how to go on. so that is just firmly Not a Possibility in his brain#(and now i made myself REALLY sad thinking about mario remembering this conversation a little later and wondering#when WAS the last time he told luigi he loved him????? he can't remember. he loves his brother more than anything and anyone#but he hasn't said it outloud in so long and the realization of that is extremely painful. there's some more angst for you!!!)#anyway this is just a compilation of all the significant scenes where mario and luigi are actually together we've seen so far and I CRY#also the brand-new one of them running through town!!! omg it's perfect#with mario doing unnecessary parkour and luigi just diligently jogging along on the outside and avoiding the mess#the characterization even in the tiniest moments like this is truly CHEF'S KISS#will be working on more gifsets because my brain just needs to stare at all this until the movie comes out lololol

So I was asked to expand on the whole Jamil having a trauma response to Leona comment on my last post, aaand here's that.
(This pertains to chapter 6 btw, so spoiler warning)
(also it's very much sleep deprived rambling so sorry if it's, well, rambly)
First off, I'm operating under the assumption that he has cPTSD. Jamil has clearly been programmed since birth to always obey the Asims and act in their best interests, even at the expense of his own life. This is a boy who has been forced to eat poison to protect them and their assets, who's family was forced to let that happen, and who has been so desperate his entire life to escape that situation that he was willing to resort to murder and doom not just himself but his whole family which he is implied to care about. Which means if simply quitting was an option, he would have done so. So, you kinda have to infer that he and his family don't have a choice in this role, and there are severe enough consequences for disobedience that fucking up or refusing is a worse option than risking a slow painful death every time Kalim wants to eat something. And this is all stuff that's been depicted blatantly in canon, not even touching on the assumptions that could be made from there.
So that's the position Jamil is in. That is a traumatic situation. This is a guy who has been groomed for servitude and obedience since he was old enough to talk. These kinds of circumstances absolutely can lead someone to be triggered into subservience or other trained behaviors. That's just, a thing with trauma.
Now, with the Asims being one of if not THE most powerful merchant families in their country, one of the expectations of Jamil as their servant and especially as the attendant to their heir is to ensure good relationships with other rich and powerful families, especially royalty. This was shown in the fireworks event, where he states that as a prince, if Malleus came to any harm under his watch while a guest of the Asims, it could start an international conflict. These are incredibly high stakes, a misstep on Jamil's part could ruin the Asim family and potentially even endanger his country, and it's pretty strongly implied that he and his family would take the blame and suffer the consequences. Now, much like how wearing a company logo while at work makes your actions representative of your employer, Jamil serving the Asims 24/7 (and especially as the chaperone of their heir) means that he is representing their family At All Times. This is why he is forced to defer to Kalim in all aspects of life even outside of their country, part of his job is to make his employers look good, and there are consequences for not doing so. This means that anyone of high enough status to be significant to the Asims is someone who Jamil is required to be subordinate to.
Then, enter Leona. As a wealthy prince, he would be someone who Jamil is expected maintain good relations with at any cost to himself. With his position Leona could literally destroy Jamil's (and probably his family's) entire life with a single complaint to the Asims about his conduct. Like, he could do that with no actual cause just for fun, because the Asims are 100% going to take the side of a prince over an expendable servant. This means that one misstep or any backtalk from Jamil puts him at massive risk, it is entirely up to Leona whether or not he suffers for any of these actions, and while the audience knows Leona's personal morals would prevent him from actually doing that, Jamil does not.
THEREFORE (sorry this ended up so long), once Jamil was in a life threatening situation with Leona, it seems likely that all this programming and fear would manifest in desperately trying to protect him and follow orders the way he's always done for Kalim. To me, the way he snapped into bodyguard mode, and immediately complied with every one of Leona's bitchy commands (like giving him a hair ornament to throw away without question, and barely saying anything about it after), even while being humiliated and knowing he was less trained in magic, just comes off more like a trigger response than anything. Especially because I can't imagine that situation not being triggering, and I can't imagine him knowing any other way to respond.
#jamil viper#leona kingscholar#jamil ptsd analysis#twst#this is also why I got so pissed about leona's behavior in that chapter#like I do genuinely like his character. he's one of my favorites and I get where he was coming from#but boy was being ignorant as all fuck#like jamil is so heavily implied to be an indentured servant#and leona could probably buy his whole family#there's no version of 'i know what it's like to feel overlooked. suck it up and work with what you've got' advice#that could benefit Jamil from this guy#because changing your attitude and putting in the work doesn't free you from a situation like that#and I can only assume that coming from a free country in the modern world#Leona just hasn't considered that Jamil would BE in a situation like that. it's not exactly normal#and this is the guy so out of touch he thought Ruggie's home was a doghouse. so I mean. giving him the benefit of the doubt on this#but goddamn was that out of touch. and I just hate how they wrote the conclusion between them#not the intended subject when i wrote this. but tagging it as#small steps fic#for the small steps crowd in case they get curious about what else i have to say on them??#i feel like some of the thoughts from this post are gonna be playing into the story

What is your favourite Doctor Who story?
TOURNAMENT MASTERPOST
synopses and propaganda under the cut
Blink
Synopsis
In an abandoned house, the Weeping Angels wait. The only hope to stop them is a young woman named Sally Sparrow and her friend Larry Nightingale. The only catch: the Weeping Angels can move in the blink of an eye. To defeat the ruthless enemy — with only a half of a conversation from the Tenth Doctor as help — the one rule is this: don't turn your back, don't look away and don't blink!
Propaganda no propaganda submitted
City of Death
Synopsis
While taking in the sights of Paris in 1979, the Fourth Doctor and Romana sense that someone is tampering with time. Who is the mysterious Count Scarlioni? Why does he seem to have counterparts scattered through time? And just how many copies of the Mona Lisa did Leonardo da Vinci paint?
Propaganda
even if your not a classic who fan, you have seen moments from this, “wonderful butler, he’s so violent”, “youre a beautiful woman, probably”, “if you wanted an omelette I’d expect to find a pile of broken crockery, a cooker in flames, and an unconscious chef”. The location shooting, iconic, the music, iconic, the plot, so iconic I was once watching something (non doctor who) that referenced it as a fake historical event. Dare I say duggan is the greatest side character of all time. Romana’s outfit, the design of scaroth, the implication time lords can fly. it’s not my favourite overall, but its damn near close, it deserves AT LEAST the semi finals, AT LEAST. If you’ve not seen it or any classic who, go watch it, its so good, one of the best of the era. Also, how could I forget, the most watched episode on broadcast out of all of doctor who, including new who. (yes it was because itv was off the air due to strikes, but im glad its this episode that holds the record) (anonymous)
