ALSO I'm NOT aro after all!!! I think I figured it out and it should have been obvious but sometimes I'm just the big dumb
#well technically im on the aro spectrum but like#i feel like what i am is more normal than “allo” so?#basically the way i heard it phrased that made it click in my brain is#i don't just fall in love#it's not a passive action#it's not something that happens TO me#I build love with someone#it's not something that comes out of nowhere#it's something the 2 of us have to form and create and curate#it's a deliberate action that takes time to get to that point#so that explains why crushes are so rare for me#bc i need such a stronger bond to feel that towards someone that by the time i DO feel it#it's already passed the crush stage and we're in “love” territory#this explains my affinity for best friends and childhood friends to lovers tropes#because those are tropes i can actually relate to#like this work “crush” is such a weird situation#I'd actually say it's closer to a squish than a crush#because i don't want to go out#i dont want to kiss or hold hands#i just want to hang out and laugh and get to know each other#and see where that goes#because i don't know him well enough to really feel anything towards him other than vague interest bc he makes me laugh#but the interest is more curiosity than romantic interest#which makes it hard bc how do i ask for his socials or to hang out without it seeming like I'm coming on to him#how does one make friends#at my age#this is hard and for why

At rest, your lungs wish to deflate, and your ribcage expands outwards.
#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#yiling laozu#Happy Friday the 13th!#This is scientific fact btw!#Ventilation operates through a series of active and passive forces#The active forces being muscular contraction with inhalation and exhalation having their own set of muscles.#but the interesting part is the passive forces at work:#The lungs have a certain level of elasticity to them - meaning the more they expand the more the those elastic forces are functioning-#-to try and return the system to rest (exhalation passive forces). Your diaphragm is the main force - pushing against the lungs at rest.#Your ribcage on the other hand is under a state of being pulled outwards. It *wants* to be as open as possible.#These to contradicting forces create a constant push and pull which assists in the ebb and flow of air. Most significantly with exhalation.#Now that being said - the primary action of inhalation ventilation is through control centers in your brainstem.#If you lose connection to that due to trauma you're going to need ventilation assistance.#Small note: Respiration is the cellular event of chemical exchange in the alveoli. Ventilation is airflow and pressure.#They are both important but also very different things. Sadly used interchangeably.#My anatomy nerd brain is screaming over the inaccurate ribcage...but its...recognizable. I will get it right one day.#Okay nerd rant over (I cut out a lot of stuff about pressure gradients. They are cool. To me.)#This is a redraw of an mspaint doodle I made back in april. I yearn to make the Yiling Laozu eerie as he deserves#Tear that bitch (affectionate) apart!#Been playing around with hatching for a while and its amazing how many styles there are! Not sure I'll stick with this one (but it was fun)

People try too hard to make Curly an active participant in Jimmy's abuse. Isn't the whole point that he's passive in everything Jimmy does? Abuse occurs because he actively doesn't do anything? Not to call someone out or be mean, but I saw a post saying Anya's ID being in Curly's locker at the beginning shows that he intended to prevent Anya from filing an HR report and I disagree. I get where that interpretation is coming from, but I think it's a little uncharitable. I don't like being too kind to Curly because he's like...a morally mid dude at best lol But if we're going by the HR report interpretation, I would say it's more likely he requested Anya's ID in order to file an HR report on her behalf. After all, the only way to contact Pony (that we see) is in the cockpit, he's the Captain, and Pony Express sucks bad so I wouldn't put it past them to only allow the Captain to use the communication device thing. As we see before, Curly is the only one able to use tools around the ship that you would think other employees could use (ex. Swansea should be able to use the axe if he's the repair guy. Idk why they'd need an ax but that falls under manual labor which Swansea is designated for as the mechanic/fixer dude. But it has to go through Curly). I never got the vibe that Curly moved to actively protect Jimmy. He just lets things happen without say a word; Jimmy walks all over him, and by extension, the whole crew. I get why people would think that because he gives the whole "Hey Jimmy, we can get through this together, bud" spiel right before the crash. This part interests me a lot because there's so many ways to interpret Curly's intentions there. My interpretation is that Curly is on autopilot mode. The responses seem so stilted in comparison to Jimmy's. Like it's the kind of thing Curly's said before again and again and again when Jimmy's gotten in trouble. However, as others previously pointed out, I don't think Curly ever dealt with Jimmy doing something this irredeemable. He doesn't know how to respond, so he just goes for the default "You've gotten through tough situations before. Work through it one step at a time." Like the response is lame af lol I think he was in shock; he was scared (and just so I can say it one more time: he's super lame).
Anyway, this is way longer than I intended and I've said things a billion people have already stated. But uhhh tldr the whole point of Curly's character is he's passive; he never acts. He just watches. Making him an active participant in the abuse by taking actions to cover for Jimmy (like preventing Anya from filing an HR report) defeats the purpose of his character. He's a bystander.
#and I'm defining active as in like consciously taking actions to help Jimmy cover his tracks and stuff like that#because I know being passive can be seen as the same thing as actively participating in the abuse (which i agree with)#I just mean I don't think he's actually intending to help Jimmy by doing anything for him like taking Anya's ID away with nefarious purpose#I just didn't get that vibe#again I just thought he sucked lol like he just does nothing#so idk I just don't vibe when people make him too into helping Jimmy if that makes sense? I think it destroys the grayness of his character#they will never make me have a strong opinion of you Curly#but he is fine as hell ok lol I am not immune to buff blonde man#also like I hope this doesn't come off as mean to the person I'm referencing with the ID take if they see it#I just was thinking about their interpretation and was like ehhh i don't know if i agree and wanted to respond on my lil side account ;p#mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#captain curly#anya mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#ok and I could see people saying he actively covers for him by doing the psych eval for him and being like uhhhh good enough lmao#but to me that's him trying to placate any issues between crewmembers on his ship esp. when it comes to Jimmy#which just falls under the bystander thing because he'll do the bare minimum to keep things peaceful#but when it comes to doing anything he's just like whelp idk what I can do and just stands there#he's so cool#ok also I realize they need the ax for the foam I just forgot about that lmao#i was a little tipsy when I wrote this plz forgive hahaha I just meant like an ax isn’t like normally in a mechanic’s tool kit lmao#adding a link to the Twitter post I mention so people can refer back to it if they’d like

I love that ren can't function without morgana. "Look at me im the fabulous leader of the phantom thieves with my swoopy outfit and beautiful curls. I break women's hearts on the daily. Men turn gay when I take my glasses off. If my cat isn't here i'm going to stop functioning entirely. i feel like shit I just want him back."
#that being said I think Ren was too passive during the events#its so weird cause his inner thoughts were “I cant think without mona :(” and then the cutscenes he was just a background character#Ren “jumps into action” Amimaya not immediately lunging for his cat when he's hurt is very very very out of character#it really really really could have been drawn out a bit more#The buildup was fantastic but we didn't even get ONE forlorn gazing into the distance#Like.. am I reading ren wrong? or...?

Deep law of assumption cultists when you talk about action. Not inspired action or magical action. But action. Action. Physical effort.
#random#LMFAOOO#it's okay to be passive sometimes but let's bffr#schizophrenia is not gonna give you abilities out of nowhere so how about you get yourself a singing coach#or go on youtube and watch vocal lessons or start something#ACTION IS THE WAY#MANIFESTATION IS NOT MAGICAL

it was just going to be a few warmup doodles but then she infected the rest of the page like the ever eternal and spreading spores. hod!!! hod. hod :)
#lobotomy corporation#lobcorp#hod#hod lobcorp#lobotomy corp spoilers#I GUESS i almost forgot i drew her box form#lobcorp spoilers#and michelle actually. ..#both very tiny. itty bitty. microscopic#other sephirah there too as normal. i cant have her alone. and Angelina as well on the top patting her#i have a hard time fully capturing her for some reason. in my mind. maybe its because is the disconnected period!!! mentally#she genuinely wishes to care and be kind yet theres a dissonance with what she does..? or how it ends up being taken or what she does to en#up bringing those actions into reality. she can be forceful? wanting to have employees attend therapy sessions and meetings for suppression#tactics. which i think is also something the safety team is incharge of iirc. so that means shes doing way more that what she needs to on#her job as a sephirah. just for the sake of employees#she really does care as shes one of the only to Directly attempt to change their circumstances and quality of life and health#sure chesed doesnt punish employees when they dont do their work assigned or stress them out with work#but he doesnt actively push to attempt to make changes to aid employees besides the research perks which is to the manager#yesod IS right next to her and does also genuinely care but when it comes to employees hes distant at best when it comes to them and the#way he tries to protect them is by enforcing rules but he doesnt really create or attempt to help them like hod does#yesod is sort of a passive? way of doing it. yes he doesn make a push to enforce said rules but he doesnt make new ones. just follows what#is already there in place. hod tries to make new ways and not just for the safety of people like how yesod's has them physically fine and#not letting them over a certain threshold of mental corruption but she tries to have a program to Directly Address such a thing#its born out of care but the genuine worry of being a good person and her naivety ends up having it do more harm than good#sure there may be some employees that actually like and find it useful but so many are just accepting to their fate of Dying to where#her care seems pointless. shes a sephirah and to them a literal metal box why would they go ahead and feel bad for what an 'ai' is feeling#as she is interrupting their free time in the company#which is rude. and shit. iirc the counseling is compulsory but people go because shes a sephirah and their superior. the thought was there#but again it comes off wrong and ends up not working because shes their superior in the end#EEK!!! yeah... hod. the hod. there is WAY more but i can't fit it all here and i already typed enough

not to harp on anyone's takes and this is not apropos of one single post but i genuinely feel like i have had a whole separate perception of tommy as a character than other people in this fandom because every "tommy was ooc" post i see confuses me more and more every day. like ooc in the context of what? what do yall genuinely find so incongruent about his actions in 8x06? not incongruent with the fanon version of him we developed over the summer, but as in what the canon previously established. because in my opinion/experience we knew so little of him, he was literally a schrodinger's character, hence so much of my excitement for s8 was that we would get to see him be a real boy. we didn't know any of his demons, his depth, his interiority, how he'd react during a conflict, his fears, his hopes, his perception of his relationship with buck... we literally just filled in the blanks, and the only thing that was out of character with tommy in 8x06 was that he didn't fit with that filling. the details of the storyline and the execution was stupid (mostly the abby thing) but tommy's actions were pretty in character with what little the show told us about him. the guy who was an asshole out of self-preservation also trapped someone in a relationship to protect himself? the same guy was once again blunt and direct to spare his own heart? like yeaah
#this is not an argument btw it's a genuine invitation for conversation#i truly wanna know what do you see ooc about this like “him doing this was ooc with his previous action x in episode y”#bc no offense all we knew about tommy was that he didnt have a close found family like the 118#had a troublesome relationship with his dad#could be cold and passive during his tenure at the 118#and that he liked dating buck#we didnt even know if he was in love with buck or what he genuinely felt about buck till the breakup like thats the only canon instance#that in dialogue tells us he was falling hard for him#and buck not running after him is the most buck thing if this show has one thing to criticize when it comes to buck's love life it's that#he's always made to assume a passive role#mimi.txt

If one worked with positive potency, one would stand at the mercy of the object and be completely passive. Paradoxically, hyperactivity represents an extremely passive form of doing, which bars the possibility of free action. It is based on positive potency that has been made absolute to the exclusion of all else.

Puts this here and leaves
Like @l1va22 said, all of these bitches were literally born to be horrible in some way
"You can't like Ferid/Guren/idk they're a horrible person!!1!1!1" ok and i'm balls deep in ur mom
#in this household we understand that liking a character ≠ condoning their actions#owari no seraph#seraph of the end#...do i unblock the one guy this is mostly aimed at bc i'm passive agressive in the most cowardly way possible

And if Jacaerys Velaryon finally loses it because his mother is being an idiot, I will stand by him. He deserves to feel enraged. Rhaenyra is showing too much patience for people who murdered her little son in cold blood. If I was Jace, I'd be so pissed off.

my hot fandom take is that discouraging authentic interaction with fanworks through arbitrary "rules" and increasingly limited and prescriptive scripts of "acceptable" interactions damages fandom as a community perhaps just as much as passive, entitled consumers who demand free labor from fan creators without offering interaction in return
#i just don't know what creators expect when they throw a fit if another fan acts in any way other than the two prescribed emotions they're#'allowed' to have#this is spurred on by fic deletion discourse ftr but it's not limited to it#you're allowed to delete your fics. of course you are. it's your fic#but the fans of your fic are also allowed to be visibly and publicly upset#implying they shouldn't be is saying you don't think people should forge personal connections with your art#which is of course antithetical to art#both actions are allowed AND understandable. you as a creator don't have the right to dictate how people should feel about your work#the only thing that accomplishes is pushing people away. discouraging them from engaging authentically#this also extends to stuff like creating arbitrary etiquette rules around concrit or 'concrit'#yeah it absolutely sucks to get unsolicited crit in your comments. of course it does. you worked hard on that#but saying people should never criticize a fic means that well meaning fans will avoid engaging authentically with any fic at all#because they internalize that speaking about a fic beyond 'i love this!' is somehow rude to an author#and this is NOT a hypothetical. i see this exact behavior all the time. they're too scared of offending to be genuine or contribute to art#art is a discussion. if you refuse to let other people participate in that discussion then you are just as much at fault for the destructio#of the community as passive consumers are. all because you don't want your feelings hurt#unfortunately you DO have to accept that someone may be rude to you or behave inappropriately about your art#in order to get authentic feedback from other not-rude people. there's no getting around it#but people seem to have chosen isolation over community yet again. because we're all scared of criticism and judgment#alas!

“Peter Lukas gets sent back to the regency era” “Jonathan Sims gets sent back to the regency era” valid points valid points but i raise you
Tim Stoker gets sent back to the regency era
#Timelias#guys c’mon it would be sooo fun#Tim would probably *hate* Elias. Maybe try to take the circus down sooner since#the Grimaldi was first like a thing in the very early 1800s so it could be possible for Tim to just kill Nikola on sight#And I bet Jonah would be so fascinated by him.

Realizing if I put Melchior, Sahota, and Alexei on a team they could overthrow any government in under 48 hours
meanwhile, if I put Cerus, Judd, Caelon, and James on a team I don't even know if they could manage a grocery run
#we've got two royals; an aggressively anti social 24 year old; and a pirate captain who's the best-adjusted but struggling to#get the others to get along#caelon agrees with everything but you can tell he's just terrified#cerus acts like he's given up on life but will still be passive aggressive if he doesn't like a decision#judd just fucks off and does his own thing without telling anyone else#james desperately trying to get actual communication going#blog v blog action#meanwhile silas and ander would just ignore whatever mission they're assigned for much-needed self care
