#it makes me learn more about myself

[wanderingmind867]

If we go through my favorite characters as a kid, perhaps my anger issues, mood swings and depression should have always been obvious. Two-Face and Martian Manhunter (although I really, really liked The Riddler too). Those two really were my favorite characters ever as a child. And now that I'm nearly 20, I have anger issues, mood swings, depression from the loss of my mother and the feeling of growing older, it sort of becomes like a self fulfilling prophecy. Perhaps the subconscious always knew how I'd end up.

Of course I loved Two-Face. I'd always been temperamental, and now that I'm older it's probably worse, and I can acknowledge how my moods skyrocket, so I'm indecisive and go from panicking and feeling nervous and nauseous to feeling calm and comfortable to feeling angry and bitter. Of course I'd love Two-Face. Of course I loved Martian Manhunter. The loneliest Justice League member. He stayed in space, watching over everyone. But he never gets appreciation himself. He's just there. Lonely, watching us from the shadows, guarding us and guiding us all. He's the light in the darkness. A man who lost everything, but who continues on. Of course I liked The Riddler. He was also temperamental, lonely (and in the case of Frank Gorshin's marvelous 60s performance) manic.

It's like a self fulfilling prophecy. Amazing what one can find out about themselves, analyzing the characters they adored and loved. Maybe I should do this with Percy Jackson and my other old interests too. I'm sure there's more to be gleaned from this method.

Sometimes I think it's just scary to open up like that. To say how you really feel. Especially to people you care about the most. Because what if... what if they don't like the truth? // Sometimes people don’t really say what they’re really thinking. But, you capture the right moment… it says more. // I didn't say it. // You didn't have to.

I HATE tiktok and the Internet in general rn for the obsession with "oh this person's smellyyy" "Brother it STINKS over here" "BOO 💧🧼🧽🚿" and stuff like that. I wish I could put into words how demeaning and patronising that whole idea is and people implying anyone they don't like doesn't wash.

For one there's something grating about being insulted in a manner like we're in nursery again. But also WHY is that the go to insult. Why do you associate these things? Especially to those you deem "chronically online". Like I don't want to sound pathetic but it feels so nasty to me.

is it extreme to say this feels tied to ableism? And classism too?

Time and Time Again comes back tonight!

Thank you all for being so patient with me, I know it was a long hiatus.

My health was struggling, my arm was (is) hurting, and I decided it wasn't worth it. I'd rather be slow!

So thank you for giving me that grace, and I hope you'll be there with me for the rest of the series.

Man I want to make a threeface mask so bad (delusional)

hey this isn’t aimed at anyone in particular but I’m saying it for the record here: if I tell you no, please stop messaging me about fundraisers and mutual aid.

I get enough messages that it’s impossible for me to keep up without devoting at least half an hour each day, when I’m not even on tumblr that long most days. Me having a boundary about this isn’t a moral failing, it’s a lifeboat for me on my own blog.

In my personal life I’m already advocating and donating literally as much as I can spare. This is not me not caring, it’s just me not willing to interact with that on the one place I go online to not interact with irl news and world events for the most part.

I cannot be upset all the time. I cannot be upset everywhere. I cannot use all my emotional and mental energy fielding my own upset from ongoing events. My options are to hold boundaries about this or stop coming online at all.

I’m all for sharing information and signal boosting to reasonable extents, but the scale of it this year is so large and so enduring that it is literally not possible to for me to participate on every account I have. I’ve previously shared links to Gaza eSIM donations and a major hub of verified Go Fund Mes here and elsewhere online. We, the online humans, know how to look those things up ourselves by now. There are many, many people choosing to do advocacy work, and right now, I can’t be one of them.

If you’re extremely upset when I tell you I can’t share/donate right now about a Gaza family or personal fundraiser you ask me to share here, just unfollow and block me. That’s what those buttons are for. Protect your own emotions and energy and get me off your feed instead of staying upset and continuing to engage with online people or content that upsets you.

Please don’t send repeated angry messages based on manufactured purity politics and moral outrage into my messages and inbox when I exercise the right to run my own blog.

I have a theory that people who are the most critical of neurodivergent traits in others are more likely to be neurodivergent themselves.

We've heard this before through the lens of parents who say "that's normal, even I do that" and failing to realize that they likely have the same variety of neurodivergence, but I think on a deeper level people who have spent their entire lives memorizing social cues and societal norms and masking strongly without realizing it will probaly find it easier to spot people who regularly break those rules and become upset because they hold themselves to such a rigid standard and are frustrated that others freely reject standards that they put so much effort into meeting themselves.

Very rambly, but just a thought.

hello! i’m here for more bokris yapping!! how do you feel about kris speaking serbian and bojan being so happy compared to when bojan tries to speak dutch and kris just laughs at him because it makes me insaneeeeee

oh god, yes. it makes me insane too 🤝🫠

I think it makes a lot of sense in terms of how I imagine each of them would show affection and desire it in return.

let's take Bojan, for example. he absolutely loves languages, and he is 100% the type of person to run straight to learning how to say phrases and terms of endearment in someone's native language if he doesn't speak it himself (I'm totally thinking about him learning some Finnish because of Jere, here 😇). because of this, I think it makes sense that it would fill him with such pure delight when someone puts that same effort in for him. it seems to me that Kris is more confident with speaking Serbian than any of the others, and I think it's quite clear just how weak for Kris that makes Bojan feel. the heart eyes? the attentive listening? the encouraging nodding when he's speaking it? that boy is in love.

and then we have Kris, who I believe is a bit more reserved about his feelings, as I've mentioned before. I think part of the reason Kris always looks quite amused when Bojan tries to speak Dutch could be because he knows that if he doesn't laugh, he'll fold. secretly, he loves it when Bojan tries to speak it because it's so goddamn endearing the way he can be slightly off with his pronunciation, but no less ecstatic to show off what he knows to Kris. I also think the other part of it is that Kris likes to show his affection through some mild teasing because it's cute to see Bojan's reaction when he pretends to be offended.

I also like to think that sometimes Bojan begs Kris for a little Dutch lesson occasionally until Kris eventually gives in because it makes him so happy 😌

@moe-broey THANK YOU!!! AND IM GLAD THE RUFFLES ARE APPRECIATED!!!🎉🎉🎉

But seriously this is the highest compliment, because this is actively what I’m trying to do when it comes to how I draw Kiran! I really want to convey how unabashedly charming this silly little tactician is. It helps explain how they keep the order intact on a social level and also why this keeps happening:

In retrospect, Alfonse never really stood a chance, did he?

Anyway I won’t lie, I did all this for the Loki bit. Please imagine that she’s just off screen for all these outfits hitting that exact pose.

discord was down so i was left alone with my brainrot

caps from comic Im doing

[ganondoodle]

so with echoes of wisdom .. i havent watched any of the trailers beyond the very first one and the thumbnails/screenshots and what others have said about it-

but with the world inside the rift being called "Welt des Nichts" aka "world of nothing/void" in german ('still' in english, for some reason) and demises title in french being "avatar of nothing" ... yeah my anxiety is shooting through the roof again

(hopefully you can be a little more forgiving for me being anxious/weird about it bc demise is my blorbo)

i had similar worries with totk, that werent proven true thankfully, but the darn book is making it all worse again with all those weird lore things the game doesnt even so much as hint at AND potential retcons- im in for a really rough time huh, not just stress in real life (more in tags.. its alot) but now about my specific hyperfixation from two things even (AND artblock still..)

weird as it may sound, i dont want demise to get more lore, partly bc i dont believe theyd do anything with him that i would like (given their track record) but much more importantly- the fact that he has this little lore about him is precisely one of the reasons why i fell in love with him, i tend to like characters that are neglected by the narrative, and his story being both so flat and already done meant i can be very creative with what i come up with for him without necessarily contradicting anything in canon (which is ... or was a big point of how i wrote destiny's story and lore, working with canon in a way that reframes it all without straight up ignoring it ... but i suppose i urgently need to let go of that and accept i spend alot of time working things that will go to waste :( ) AND not having to worry that there will be more stuff with him that would massively change not only what im writing but also potentially how i feel about him since the game he was briefly in was the oldest chronologically and ended with his death- i didnt expect them to mess with anything that far back and thought theyd just go forward and leave the timeline behind and wouldnt mess with it again, given how botw seemed to be a sort of 'fresh start' that seemingly regarded the past as the past that needs to rest and that the timeline was finally no longer a discussion if everythings unified through botw and one thing going forward

but i suppose i was very wrong with that .__.

right now the only thing that motivates me still is the left over determination and spite to work on my zelda comic, since i have never gotten this far and really want to get something done for once, but i cant lie that im feeling like i should pause all work on it too to wait and see waht the book and the new game will do .. either to determine if i still have the will to keep working on it after those things are out (my love for tloz has been taking alot of hits lately ..) or if i have to change stuff (mostly bc of my lore problem trying to not ignore it ..)

[willowser]

okay last thing and i know this is easier said than done and i think it's less of final end point and more of a continuous journey but once you let go of your shame and embarrassment over the things that make you happy, you'll have a lot more fun

[deoidesign]

I'll either succeed or I'll learn trying
