though i despise elia stans
i’ll always have infinite sympathy for elia the character
i know what it’s like to have a weak body and how this can devastate a persons life
i cannot even imagine how much pressure/anxiety elia felt because she was physically unable to do the things expected from a westerosi noblewoman
#i’ll just pretend that elia reincarnated in our world and was born without any physical issues#how did elias physical shortcomings effect her?#i’m able to take medication for my shit but westeros being stuck in the medieval times means elia just had to deal with it#no one understands how devastating declining physical health can be until they experience it themselves#it literally destroys your life#and how characters talk about elia being frail weak and whatever always makes me mad af#no one wants to be terminally ill#asoiaf#i’m too scared to put this in the elia tag lmao 😂#so main tag it is!

Love triangle between two brothers (sisters/best friends) is the worst trope EVER because someone it's going to cheat on someone, probably the girl, and I will end up hating the three of them, especially the girl, because she will be the one who will be confused while not seeing two brothers destroy their relationship over her
#seriously the only tv show i get behind this trope is tvd and thats was in 2012#also if you have a girl and your relationship with your brother is dying literally break up#im sorry but no man or woman is worth destroying something that unfortunately is for life#the summer i turned pretty#my life with the walter boys#cole walter#alex walter#belly conklin#conrad fisher#jeremiah fisher

I do genuinely hate how trusting simple shit on the internet is starting to become a russian roulette game. Even if AI wasn't based on maybe one of the biggest heists of human history, it would still be a massive L to the culture that we are expected to become paranoid about any interaction we have with other human beings, our appreciation for art, our trust of the images we see, etc. This is just making everything so much worse, and there is no justification for it that holds any water.
#thoughts#fuck generative content#I unfortunately do predict the internet will become borderline unusable in less than 10 years if that's not managed real fast#like that will murder social media or the concept of internet as something social#why would you want to wander a ghost town full of information you can't trust and people who aren't real#all of those trying to suck even more of your soul to create more ghouls hellbent on harassing you and take money/data from you#and prevent you from getting actual human connection#like at some point you are going to self-cannibalize#and it's going to be a stupid ass tragedy and none of the people responsible will ever be held accountable#it's hard to be enthusiastic about the world and life and the future in goddamn 2024!!#when literally everything good and interesting about humanity and the natural world is being systematically destroyed!!#anyway.

Lmao Zeus & Hades are such bad dads that they think Percy would rob a god for his deadbeat dad who owes Sally 12 years of back pay for child support…
These literal God-Kings sat down and were like hmmm Poisedon hasn’t talked to this child in years to avoid people knowing he ejaculated when he should’ve of evacuated… & has a shitty abusive stepdad now… that child would absolutely Mission Impossible Olympus for him! Let’s kill him :)
Hey dumbasses, my own deadbeat parent can barely get me to text them back, I ain’t stealing shit for them. As a member of Team Deadbeat Parent, that request would’ve caused 12 year old me to cuss out an adult for the first time
#they literally tried to mug a child based on this assumption#the fact your thunderbolt was stealable sounds like a you issue buddy#I’d be too embarrassed to admit to that#hades sent a MINOTAUR after him!!!#what the hell man???#you’re LUCKY no one died!!!#pretty sure even kids who wanted their parents involved in their life would’ve told him to go fuck off#me? i didn’t care#so I wouldn’t probably yelled at them#you don’t even send me a card and you want me to commit a felony for you?#go to hell poisedon#the entire book series I wanted Percy to serve him with child support papers#EVEN AFTER he’s claimed he STILL doesn’t pay child support!!!#sally has to get the money from her murdered husband#low key was rooting for Kronos and the gods to destroy each other#deadbeat dad#mine#pjo#pjo series#hades#Zeus#posideon#percy jackson and the olympians#percy jackon and the olympians#Percy jackson

i like it So Much that the show ended without hieronymous telling anyone from midst that he blew up the moon and i like it So Much that everyone who even knows he did is dead. ping-ponging back and forth in my brain between wanting to write a scene where he eventually does tell sherman what happened and wanting to think that he really just takes that secret all the way to his grave <3 i LOVE when characters are LIARS!
#i was also initially disappointed that we didn't get him telling tzila he's her dad but also i don't think the scene would have fit#so i'm satisfied with leaving it out. but maybe i'll write that one too someday#midst#midst podcast#midst spoilers#i really just maybe think he takes that secret to his grave and feels guilty but also conflicted about it for the rest of his life.......#so many people died but also he literally DID it he literally destroyed the trust and the moon explosion was absolutely#the catalyst that made it all happen........#and what GOOD would it do if everyone knew and hated him for it. what would be the POINT of that. <--hieronymous justifying to himself#OAUGH. you make your choices and things happen because of them and you live with that and that's the podcast babey!

Another thing I need pjsk fandom to realize:
1) there are literal 10 years old (and younger) children in this fandom;
2) the percentage of these children in the fandom is MUCH, MUCH higher than every single one of you here on tumbrl think it is.
"why do people write so much for popular characters?" "why do people write for kudos only?" aside from the fact that the "write for yourself" is a self-perpetuating issue in every fandom and the fact that every writer deserves engagement with their works, it's because there are kids here. Who want to fit in and get praised for their creativity. Which they can only achieve by writing for popular stuff. So maybe take that into account.
#jay rambles.txt#I've met so many kids who have no business knowing that pjsk is considering the Themes it deals with know what pjsk is#and if you want to argue this game is a) a scummy gacha game b) too grim for a lot of them - sure. did that stop YOU for being in#fandoms you shouldn't have been in when you were 12?#yeah I didn't think so. this is very normal and will continue being normal#seeing as the spaces for young kids on the internet have all but been destroyed by every factor imaginable#of course they're not interested in nuance and detailed characterisation as well. they are kids. were you media literate at 10 when you've#just discovered fandoms? like actually? at like 10? cmon now. give them some grace#sometimes when you see another run of the mill poor grammar and no formatting cliche yaoi fic of your otp I need you to stop and think#'wait a minute. is there a non-zero probability this is written by a 10 year old who just found out what fanfic is?' before you get mad#and then just close the tab and move on with your life. as god intended#'why is this misconception so popular!!' because 80% of the 'rui is a cannibal' people are edgy 13 years old who just Do This Shit. peace.#jay with the unpopular takes again hoo boy

places my hands on dr stone fandom's shoulders. yes sengen is peak yes ryusui and francois have something beyond words going on yes taiju and yuzuriha are living the married couple life we all want but what. what is going on with stanxeno.
#dr stone#stanxeno#GRIPS EXTREMELY TIGHT !!!!#ARE WE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THEM ???#why do they have fairytale motifs. why do they have the protector and not-so-damsel-in-distress parallels with taiju and yuzuriha#but with the 'lets go to hell together' flavours of sengen#why is it that theyre so clinically insane and yet just. such sad individuals.#what kind of life do you have to lead to be able to kill someone you care for so easily? what kind of betrayal did you taste#that you can only trust in the one person you love; that they are your world and you would willingly destroy everyone else's for theirs#which leads me into. WHAT was up with that post-petrification chin touch ???????#literally re-rereading the series just to comb through the details about them#anyway. they are my new roman empire.

Wanted to send an ask as well to hopefully provide some distraction from…recent events.
Are there any parts of world building in the TF IDW universe that you wish were explored/expanded upon more? Or that you want to explore in your writing? Like certain aspects of pre-war Cybertron, cybertronian culture, post-war Cybertron, etc?
Okay this is actually perfectly timed for a rant I wanted to go on about the way mnemosurgery is written in IDW1 because I hate how JRO basically made it an ontologically evil field of medicine both intrinsically and in terms of the average person who does it, like
First of all I want to preface this by saying I'm not accusing JRO of having any particular beliefs, this is just my commentary on how things came off and how his writing style contributes to both virtues and flaws in his writing. So I might say "he's basically saying this" but in the sense of "unfortunate implications, accidental or purposeful, in his writing."
But like... it makes me so mad because the worldbuilding around mnemosurgery kind of makes no sense to me? It seems like a really fucking wasted opportunity to cast basically every mnemosurgeon in the continuity as evil and to make it so that even just doing mnemosurgery is basically a toxic, destructive act that will literally kill you? Honestly, I don't think JRO even came up with mnemosurgery as like, "here's a thing that exists in this world and how it works" so much as, he took a character-first approach to writing (as he always does) and wrote mnemosurgery to work whatever way would work best for Chromedome and other character-related conflicts and plot points.
Like, mnemosurgery can view/alter memories from a living person but from a dead person it can only get moments from right before death. Makes sense. Mnemosurgery slowly kills you every time you do it??? Uh... honestly that comes off more as a handwave to make it so that any time the LL needs information they can't just needle it straight out of whoever's mind they need bc of course Chromedome can only do it when it's really important after all. Mnemosurgery... is only ever used for brainwashing people? Like, literally every mnemosurgeon except Chromedome is evil (and cartoonishly so, for Trepan and Sunder, like literally unredeemable monsters in every way) and any time they actually enjoy their field of medicine it's bc they're a sadist that likes to manipulate and oppress people? Kind of... uncreative.
Mnemosurgery is ADDICTIVE?? You're addicted to needling people's brains because mnemosurgery is ontologically evil and then it literally kills you? Okay like... do I even need to explain how tone-deaf it is to incorporate addiction of all things into the worldbuilding here? "You're an addict which makes you dangerous to society. The good ones stop doing the addictive thing because they're morally strong/care about others/aren't hedonists, but the bad ones who only care about doing their drug of choice are evil because the fact that they don't quit shows that they don't care about other people and OF COURSE the main/only fate that awaits addicts is their inevitable death by their own addiction!" Like, we get enough of that shit in real life, JRO. Did you really have to take an already heavily stigmatized condition like ADDICTION and slap it onto your ontologically evil mnemosurgery where the evil ones are evil because they love abusing/manipulating people and don't care enough about dying to stop being addicted to mnemosurgery? Come the fuck on.
Like, I understand that "the science of studying/altering memories" is heavily laden with nightmare fuel as is, and I don't have a problem with that (and stuff like the Institute) because the mind/memories are an intrinsic part of personhood, so any scientific field around it (or any government that wants to sponsor it) will abuse that knowledge just like with any other field of medicine. But to use human examples, why the fuck does mnemosurgery have to be inherently evil? What about stuff like Alzheimer's that degrades ppl's memories to the point of not even remembering a few seconds ago? Wouldn't it be beautiful if mnemosurgery could help with that? What about psychological issues where maybe people with intense PTSD/trauma/etc could have their worst memories be removed/dulled so that they become mentally stable enough for psychiatric/therapeutic interventions to become effective? What if someone has a TBI and wants help recovering the memories they lost?
What about non-scary, non-medicinal applications of mnemosurgery? What if someone just really treasures the memory of a particular day with their best friend and visits a mnemosurgery every couple years so that information creep doesn't slowly alter their memories of that precious day? What if it was possible for mnemosurgeons to intensify memories, so that maybe someone could have a happy memory intensified and think of it any time they're sad, struggling, having mental health struggles, etc? What if mnemosurgeons could take/copy memories from people's brains and convert them to video format in a way that other people could watch it? Imagine the sheer potential present in that when it comes to preserving history through literal firsthand testimonials of what happened! What if a mnemosurgeon could transfer memories from one person to another-- what kinds of breakthroughs in empathy, communication, and understanding others could happen if you could LITERALLY see a conflict from another person's perspective? In those ways, mnemosurgeons would basically be able to act as a hybrid of doctor, psychologist, diplomat, mediator, and archivist all in one!
But no... instead we just got "Mnemosurgery is evil and pretty much only used for brainwashing, 99.8% of all mnemosurgeons are evil creeps, oh by the way it's also addicting and will literally kill you if you do it too much." SMFH.
#squiggle answers#meta#idk if my contempt for the addiction part comes off strongly enough. like#as it is addiction is already spun as a moral failing by ppl who only care about getting high and not about hurting themselves/others#so like. why would you take addiction and apply it as an element of worldbuilding where indulging that addiction literally makes you evil#(or rather where the only ppl who continuously indulge their addiction are evil and just like doing it)#you wanna know something? IRL more addicts get sober than die of overdoses. ODing and being addicted forever is THE MINORITY#BEING AN ADDICT DOESN'T DOOM YOU TO DYING BY YOUR OWN SUPPOSED VICES AND LACK OF SELF CONTROL#getting clean is THE NORM and not the exception! so why in the hell would you write it into your fictional story#and make it so that not only are most of these addicts evil people but they'll also all inevitably die bc of their addiction???#this sort of worldbuilding literally propagates the idea that addicts are doomed to die in the majority of cases (patently untrue)#and like frames the ppl who are addicted as basically being evil and choosing to continue needling people#that's not how real life addiction works. like at all. irl addicts don't destroy their health w drugs bc they love doing it#but yeah in general JRO kind of has this issue with black and white morality. you see it pop up everywhere in his writing#his depiction of mnemosurgery comes off as one of those trademark JRO#'here is your sign that this character is evil and unredeemable bc they do this thing that's inherently evil'#kind of things. and as someone recently getting into studying addiction as a social issue it sucks ass

I wish So Bad that I could confidently recommend lob corp and library of ruina to people because they're both genuinely rly good games and I also need ppl I know to understand the insanity that is project moon but like godddd they are a fucking Investment. Both in time and in brainpower. I generally think ppl exaggerate how hard lob corp is but it's certainly not easy and when it does get hard it gets HARD. Also it literally requires at least one day 1 reset (basically a new game+) to fully beat the game and at this point I've done at least 10. And for lor I'm not nearly as far in and I'm just scratching the surface of the real game but it's a beast of its own. Also 100+ hours and also hard as hell. Like this game does not fuck around with its difficulty spikes it will make you use your brain and it will give you a damn headache in the process. It's also one of my favorite card combat games I've ever played with mechanics that just so beautifully complement each other to create a dynamic and interesting battle system that gives it a completely different vibe and feeling than any other deck builder games I've played to the point where it almost feels wrong to me to categorize them together. But also I am not even slightly joking abt the headache thing every time I play this damn game I close it with a horrible headache and have to take a multi day break. I think everyone should experience this with me <3
#rat rambles#for the record I have not played limbus company nor do I plan to but the cast is rly good and I know a lot of ppl vouch for it#let it be known if I ever do get around to reading limbus stuff I will become obsessed with outis shes so me bait#youre telling me shes a middle aged woman a war criminal and a bootlicker? sign me the fuck up#I <3 crusty dusty women who suck ass#also ofc don is also the beloved but thats a given#the real question would be which of the other limbus women would comsume my life#because theyre all contenders for characters that could make me go insane. for better or for worse.#also reason number 500 that everyone I know should play these games is that its sooooo fun to make project moon ocs#ofc I and I imagine most ppl mostly make nugget ocs (aka your employees and combat units in the first two games)#but like its just fun to make ocs in this world in general#the worldbuilding of this game is like 90% built on 'would that be fucked up or what?' and I adore it for that#theyll just be like yeah theres a whole faction that follows these things called prescripts which can range from super simple stuff to#literally impossible stuff and if you aren't able to follow them you will be killed and theres a guy whos job it is to hand them out and he#has to routinely inform people to their face that they have to destroy their lives or die and it eventually breaks him#and you go ok cool Im still not over the teleporting trains that dont actually instantly teleport but instead travel through pocket#dimensions over the course of thousands of years during which the passengers can be injured and mangled and feel pain but not die and it's#not uncommon for whole societies to be formed in them but once they arrive to their destination the state of all the passengers is#perfectly reverted back to their state uppon entering leading to them being none the wiser of anything that had previously happened to them#and they go yeah haha we liked love town too anyways wanna watch this robot have another mental breakdown#and you go fuck yeah and get your ass handed to you

Is there anything you could say to yabureme to get him seriously distressed immediately?
images moments before disaster
#boku no hero academia fanart#eraser head#nomu aizawa#Yabureme Aizawa AU#shouta aizawa#it's mic talking btw#I took this a bit literally and chose an actual comic moment from way in the future#so...#Yabureme Spoilers#the first morning Yabureme wakes up in Tartarus (second capture) after intake and he's alone in his cell with Mic#who tries to (gently) explain to him why his eye hurts more than it did before#pal... my dude... my amnesia husband.... Dabi literally destroyed your eye and it had to come out I'm sorry#and Yabureme immediately realizes that he can no longer protect Shigaraki at full capacity#even though it's arguable that that part of his life is over... the programming won't let him acknowledge it yet#so he panics#and reacts badly#tw eye strain#but basically the short answer to this question is... implying that he can't fulfill his duty#it's not even a conscious distress but a... survival one?#like. your whole self realizing that your purpose cannot be fulfilled before your brain does. so your body reacts faster#panic attacks? lashing out? yeah...#first session of therapy starts a few days after this incident SKDFGKSDFG

I know like my every other thought this episode has been nothing but [INTERNAL SCREAM] but I really do keep having to pause every time Naram moves just to keep myself from screaming out loud, because it is fucking INCREDIBLE.
#I have literally so many thoughts and feelings about how naram is portrayed (and orima as well!!!) but for now it's literally just like.#no thoughts head empty the hottest sea god you've ever seen in your life is surgically destroying every barrier he must#wbn spoilers#worlds beyond number

So often, when people say that somebody is "thin-skinned," what they mean is "this person will not give me permission to abuse and/or bully them." Be weary of the people who demand that you stop being thin-skinned when they are being abusive or putting you in compromising situations.
If it comes down to it, being "thin-skinned" is better than being abused. If you have the chance to choose, I hope you choose to be thin-skinned.
#mental health#mental health advocacy#abuse#abuse tw#like so much of the abuse i faced was twisted so that *i* was the issue - i was 'thin-skinned'/sensitive/mentally ill#and nevermind the fact i was a literal child either#abuse has a way of fucking *destroying* your life and if you have the chance to avoid that please feel free to#even if the consequence is 'being thin-skinned'

I've been thinking a lot about how Rook's reunion with his former mentor, Zara, is going to go, and since I can't predict what the DM is going to have her do or say, I can only dwell on what I know is going to happen. Which happens to include taking off the illusion ring that's been hiding his injuries from her. So have a snippet of the description I have planned for that moment:
tw for description of (mostly healed) injuries
He hesitates, twisting a ring on his finger. Looking at it more closely, she can tell it’s very finely crafted, and must have been very expensive. A large emerald is set into the band. Rook sighs, and pulls the ring off his finger in one quick motion. Immediately she’s struck by the difference in his appearance as the illusion melts away. He looks awful. His warm, healthy skin fades to a dull and sickly grey. There’s huge bags under his deeply sunken eyes, and his cheeks are hollowed, as though they have been carved out by an overeager sculptor. He looks like he’s recently risen from the grave. While he was thin before, now she can see his ribs under the skin, and his collarbones are exaggeratedly pronounce. Thin white lines left by dozens upon dozens of recently healed cuts are scattered across his body. On top of that, faded bruises cover most of his visible skin, a mottled mosaic of purple and yellow. They’re clearly days, maybe weeks old, and she can only begin to imagine what they must have looked like when fresh. Bandages are barely visible under his shirt, wrapping around his back, hinting at even more injuries.
#morrigan.text#my writing#dnd writing#oc: Rook#oc: Zara#Poor Zara.#she's gonna feel so fucking guilty about everything that's happened to him in the last 3 years even though it's not her fault.#yes she pissed off Wolf but she had no way of knowing Wolf would go after Rook instead of her.#(I don't even know what she did to piss off Wolf. That's the Big Reveal that's going to happen when Rook sees her again.)#but yeah. Seeing him like this and knowing/thinking that it's because of her actions... it's going to destroy her and that kills me.#I don't know what she did but I *do* know that she never intended for Rook to get hurt. She loves him too much for that.#but Rook could never blame her for anything. He'd forgive her just about anything. And that will probably only make her feel worse.#Rook and his mentors will never ever fail to fuck me up big time.#his undying devotion and naive faith in them which is such a stark contrast to his usual distrust of people.#and it gets him hurt every time even though the don't *mean* to hurt him. But Sigmar's case was definitely much more malicious than Zara's.#this reunion is going to be such a huge turning point for Rook's character and his personal development as a character.#well really it's a combination of things all happening at once that are going to be the turning point.#1) the fact that the party rescued him from Wolf which has literally no other explanation than that they love him and care about him.#2) seeing Zara again and finally getting that closure that he never got three years ago plus being to reestablish the most important#relationship in his entire life. Plus she's just a good influence on him all-around a much-needed source of support after Sigmar's betrayal#3) getting gifted the Tide Breaker (Zara's old ship) and having to learn some responsibility for once in his life will be very good for him#and I guess you could also say that 4) my temporary character Val talking some sense into him has something to do with it lmao.#but we'll see how this all plays out bc while I know these things are going to happen they technically haven't happened yet.#I'm not gonna RP the conversation between Rook and Val bc it would just be me talking to myself for a long time but I am gonna write it up#when we get to that point so I can show it to the DM so he knows what they talked about. Plus it will be a very fun exercise bc Val was#literally designed to be Rook's opposite in just about every way. They're very wise and responsible and Rook is a reckless idiot.#(but I love him anyways.)#So it's gonna be fun to balance writing both of them in the same conversation.#anyways. these tags are SO FUCKING LONG already. If you read this far I'm giving you your favorite dessert and a hug if you want it.#and also pledging you my undying allegiance for life. <3

There is something genuinely so annoying when a high art piece will go viral on TikTok and you'll have a bunch of people who are not willing to understand the context interacting with it bc it's "trendy".
Like- I am all for high art being more common and more people engaging with it, but I swear when something goes viral people's brains just turn off and even if they would have been willing to grow and learn something in the process, because it's just a funny internet thing now they just stop caring.
#I discovered Everywhere At The End Of Time about 6 months after it was a TikTok trend and the first song became a meme#and fucking hell- did I see some god-awful takes from people who did not understand the full context of the piece#like- it's perfectly fine if you didn't enjoy it but you do realize that this is an experimental piece about a real life illness right?#an always fatal degenerative illness that literally destroys your very identity?#a degenerative illness that destroys your brain so much that your body literally forgets how to function?#this isn't just some fucking creepy pasta music#but this really goes for any high art that I see go viral on TikTok#that fuckin 'I could do this myself' trend#like- okay bitch. then go do it yourself and go get it put in a gallery.

wilson already told house how he wanted to spend his five months when he aske dhouse to tell him that he loved hima nd when they took a roadtrip together and and and so whn house asks wilson that after telling wilson he's not dead he already knows the answer and it wasn't actually what he waas trying to communicate he was trying to tell wilson he loves him back in this essay I
#house m.d.#hate crimes md#hilson#gonna elaborate in the tags because this is barely literate but i think it's funnier if i leave the typos#basically house asking wilson ''how do you want to spend your last five months'' was not actually what house wanted to say there#because he already knew how wilson wanted to spend his last five months (he just wanted house with him and he wanted to live outside of#a hospital bed)#so he's not genuinely asking that#he's telling wilson ''all you wanted was me. you have me.''#''you needed me to be your friend and to tell you your life was worthwhile and that i loved you.''#''i have quite literally destroyed my entire life for you. your last five months are my last five months and i am going to do whatever i ca#to make them good for you.''

not giving Douglas & Leo more plotlines together was a missed opportunity because "pathetic man who is frequently bullied by children" and "teenage boy who is mean (endearing) to everyone" is such a fun dynamic
#lab rats#mine.#i would like to reiterate i am NOT here for leo slander. he has done nothing wrong ever#but also. he insults everyone all the time. hes kind of a bitch and i love that for him#and i think douglas would be susceptible to leo's insults in particular because he ALWAYS goes for the jugular#does not matter if youre an authority figure or a literal threat to his life. he will destroy in a way that is unfairly accurate
