We're Kind of Doomed...Just a Little
Tonight while I was playing PVE DayZ, I came across a large gas canister that I didn't need. I typed out in the chat that I had a large gas canister that I didn't need and if anyone needs it then it's theirs. I would even leave it where they could find it later if need be. Someone responded with, "We can buy that at the Trader." This didn't exactly break my brain yet it started me thinking. Capitalism is a certain kind of brain rot that goes so deep into the psyche of a person that they impose its rigidity on a fucking video game.
I say this because that person and many other people on the server:
Believe that there should be no "hand outs".
Believe that community is not about sharing as much as it is about making a profit from others and expect rewards.
Find it foreign/baffling when a person doesn't want a reward or payment for something.
Get mean & aggressive when you want to share items with others. (Ex. "WHY ARE YOU DOING THAT?!?!? THAT'S WORTH X-AMOUNT YOU C*NT!")
Cannot comprehend bartering or mutual aid.
What baffles me is that DayZ is about surviving a zombie apocalypse. Keyword being "surviving". Just because there are traders it does not mean that the survival aspect must be capitalistic. Helping people and building a communal aspect in a post-apocalyptic environment where you could be mauled to death by zombies, bears, wolves, etc at any time is the best survival option and not where one must depend on having enough cash on hand to buy every little thing.
The more I think about a zombie/post-apocalypse type scenario happening in a place like the United States or United Kingdom (or any hyper-nationalist capitalist state) the more I think we're kind of fucking doomed. Like just a little fucking doomed. Mainly because of the individualist, "pick yourself up by your bootstraps" mentality that has gotten only the 1% farther in life yet brainwashed billions into thinking they are millionaires in-waiting while they get paid unfairly. Too many do not understand mutual aid...yet they set up GoFundMe accounts so they can pay off their medical bills. It's disturbing how around-the-facts people can go and for how long.
Even in a fucking survival video game where you loot to survive in a post-apocalyptic world full of stuff that wants to kill you there are people that put a price on everything and hold currency over necessity. If you've ever been in a WoW Guild it can also be this way too.
We all saw and were impacted by the Pandemic. We all saw what people did with hoarding supplies and buying up supplies so they could sell them online at a markup...during a global pandemic. The world is still recovering from that greed (and Covid-19 has not gone away at all). Supply chains are still fucked. Imagine if the Pandemic was worse. Imagine if The Last of Us came to pass. I don't even want to think about it not because of the clickers. No. I don't want to think of it because of the ultra-individualism of too many people that would become a faction of rabid capitalists without a world bank or a stable currency.
Just a little fucking doomed.

#I was going to add other things but there's something nuts in this being in only Illario's words.#Always thinking about the messy and fraught and just... the genuine grief and choked affection and fucked up love in this relationship.#I think Illario loves him despite it all. Despite the doom and murder. And that the demon thing is a genuinely maddening grief and guilt.#Exactly the same way that Lucanis loves Illario through it all even when it's full of pain and grief and rage and hurt.#I considered adding more Illario following Lucanis in Wigmaker quotes but that's bludgeoning the point a little.

watching ep 104, listening to laudna talk about Whitestone festivals and crops, and watching Imogen just look at her so smitten… I can’t help but feel like it’s funny that they got roped into this whole god eater thing, cause they really are the most build-for-domestic-life motherfuckers I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Like tell me that you cannot see it in Imogen’s eyes how badly she just wants to elope with this woman on a little farm where they can raise horses and garden and have small little quiet lives in a place that doesn’t suck like gelvaan and where they can get their peace but also get to enjoy the little things in life??? And she looks this way anytime laudna like breathes.
Meanwhile they have to go off and try to kill a god and maybe die in the process or whatever
#they are made for quiet afternoons in the sun NOT KILLING GODS#I’ll say it a million times#girlie just want to live her stardew valley co-op fantasy with laudna and Ludinus is just fucking shit up man#let them be the weird farmers in their spooky perfect little town#no but actually the place where imodna ends up settling down on is actually a Roman Empire of mine cause it has to be perfect#so many options#c3 really is just hilarious cause what are these sapphics doing on this doomed team of chucklefucks trying to save the world#imodna#imogen temult#laudna#southern gothic#critical role

ok so just to summarize we have:
Simon Fairchild, geriatric extreme sports buff who enjoys hurtling around the sky at terminal velocity and jumping out of airborne vehicles just to scare the shit out of people
Peter Lukas, trust fund grown man who sails an empty cargo ship and routinely kicks all the crew off so he can enjoy a night of having zero people within a five-mile radius, and yet who still has a. rather close relationship with the local gay evil paperwork-loving CEO
Jonah Magnus, local gay evil paperwork-loving CEO who talks with his hands, drinks wine with his employees at 11 in the morning, signed off on his staff committing murder as long as it wasn't on the property, once stole an entire library's worth of books from a guy,
#tma#the magnus archives#simon fairchild#peter lukas#jonah magnus#god i love the tma antagonists. coupla old dudes just fucking up everyone's lives for shits and giggles#helen as well. ig i just like it when the avatars get sillay with it. don't get too religious or doom-y or whatever and just have#a Good Little Time!! when the power that feeds them isn't something they SERVE but something they ARE#jonah loves spying on people!! peter loves strictly enforced personal space!! simon loves throwing people off tall things!!

☀️ IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! 🌙
This is my gift to myself :) I drew my favorite guys ever.
For a while I've been itching to draw the wedding outfits from this post again. I made them up on the fly as I was drawing, but I actually really like how they ended up turning out. They're super cute!! (though, yet again, you can't see almost any part of Dedede's outfit... 💔)
But then I couldn't get it out of my head to make a companion piece for it, with their mirror versions. And so. I did. What they have going on is a little bit messy, though...
Marriage or divorce!! Take your pick.
#kirby#kirby series#meta knight#king dedede#metadede#dark meta knight#shadow dedede#mirror metadede#i do like mirror mtdd. like a lot. but poor planning ahead with hcs and ocs caused them to end up. kind of doomed in my thing lol#maybe i'll go in depth about it one day. as much as i can anyway. i haven't fully figured it out myself#my art#couple details:#mk's tooth gaps are probably one of my favorite parts of his drawing. they're just so cute i'm so glad i knocked his teeth out#while mtdd is on Non Descript Happy Place mirror mtdd is specifically in the dimension mirror level from katam and ktd#just slightly. sparklier and shinier. because that's just how i do things. and without the buildings#i did try to add them but it made everything busier than it already was#mirror mtdd's faces are obscured on purpose but if you look closely you can catch a peek of dmk's expression through his veil#which! it's meant to be kind of like a widow's veil.. symbolism and what not#i couldn't think of what the opposite of a star was so i did hearts (for the plating. cheeks. and pauldrons)#i fucked up the rings.. because i got my lefts and rights confused..#but i kept it Anyway because it looked cool. i'm sorry though it's so annoying once you notice#i still have the flats and a better look at ddd's outfit (and a Little of sddd's face)#so maybe i'll post that later#i think that's about it#i'm 20 today :) sigh. the passage of time#god the way this has been crunched sickens me. don't look closer actually

The other day, I was scrolling through Tik Tok when I came across a video talking about a 6 week old kitten who was found trying to take care of a few other kittens who were 2 weeks. They were screenshots, and one of them had a quote saying, "Imagine you're small and cold and scared, but there's smaller ones that are smaller colder and more scared."
I haven't been okay since because it sounds like Yue Qi and Shen Jiu. Their only three years apart, so all I can imagine is a toddler taking care of an infant.
All I can imagine is Qi-ge, who is nothing more than three or four. His an orphan slave and his hungry and cold and scared. When he suddenly finds a baby. His smaller and crying and just like him. Hungry and cold and scared while not knowing why. Then, next thing he knows, his picking him up and trying to comfort the little infant. As Qi-ge holds this little boy who is younger and even more helpless than himself, he decides to care for him.
He is just three-year-old Qi-Ge who decides to take responsibility for an infant Xiao Jiu.
#idea dump#ramblings of a sleep deprived girl#mxtx svsss#svsss#shen jiu#scum villian self saving system#yue qingyuan#they were just children#a baby taking care of another baby#I don't think it's talked about enough how YQY RAISED SJ#they are only three to four years a part#it's not fucking fair#YQY was only a little baby himself when he picked up baby SJ#as well as a slave#the most fucked up thing is YQY essentially put SJ into slavery and the fact it was the best option available#it has me rolling on the ground crying screaming and throwing up#the fact that both of their lives were just one continuous tragedy after another#and that neither got a happy ending in either universe#BOTH were doomed by the narrative not only SJ#excuse while I cry myself to sleep while listening to I bet on losing dogs by mitski

Okay, this might be rambling, BUT, just hear me out, okay?: since last week, I've been thinking about the symbolism in the opening. We see Viktor contemplating a mask, but he doesn't put it on. He just looks at it, in a very vulnerable position, btw (bro is butt naked, thigh showing, no decorum). But then, he appears again and, like many people pointed out, what looks like Jayce's hand puts the mask on his face. Some people said it represented the hexcore, 'cause Jayce brought him back to life against his will (could be that, makes sense), I thought it might represent his "villain mask", like Jayce makes him seem like the villain or something like that, but it finally hit me and it was so obvious! THE MASK IS WHITE! IT'S BLANK! EMOTIONLESS!! JAYCE TORE VIKTOR'S HEART OUT (LITERALLY!!!)! HE TOOK AWAY HIS HUMAN EMOTIONS FOR GOOD! Viktor was already contemplating it (taking his emotions away), but Jayce is the one who does it for him.
#arcane#arcane season 2#arcane season 2 spoilers#viktor#viktor arcane#GUYS I'M FUCKING SHAKING RN!!!#jayce talis#i was just taking a shower dude#these gays they're trying to murder me#jayvik#they're so doomed#i think viktor deserves to kill jayce at least once as a little treat#bro is the only one getting killed and resurrected killed and resurrected again like enough is enough#let that twink have PEACE my gooood

Ngl, I am not watching the second seasons of the Rings of Power because I honestly did not appreciate the way they handled Galadriel's character and her relationship with Celeborn.
I may be IMMENSELY biased, because Galadriel and Celeborn were always my favourite couple within the Universe of Tolkien, second only to Faramir and Eowyn and Beren and Luthién.
But I hate to see how they completely discarded the man that gave Galadriel her name.
Like, Alatáriel is Celeborn's Epessë for her. She was known around Middle Earth with the name her beloved gave her, because it was the most beautiful of her names.
And he was handwaved away, in favour of whatever chemistry they wanted to create between her and Halbrand.
Like no.
No.
As much as I appreciate the dynamic (because it truly is one of my most favourite), the fact that they did this to Galadriel and Celeborn just didn't sit right with me.
They are THE couple. Silver and Gold, Moon and Sun, Lord of Lorien and Lady of Light.
Like nope.
I do not judge anyone that ship Galadriel with Halbrand, the more power to them for doing so, and I truly hope they enjoy their ship and have all the fun.
But for me, personally, the absence of Celeborn was a complete deal breaker.
^^^^^THESE TWO ARE THE ONE I WILL DIE FOR ON THIS HILL ALONE IF I MUST.
#Nemo babbles#The Rings of Power#Celeborn#Galadriel#do not mind me#I am just venting a little#When LotR came out in 2001#I was *enchanted* by Galadriel and Celeborn#the Gods only know the amount of times that I replayed the scene where the Company reaches Caras Galadhon#let me tell you - close to the thousand times and I am not exaggerating I was obsessed#and seeing what they have done to Galadriel and Celeborn just breaks my heart#I was so happy when I saw they were doing the TV series and it would also have Gil-Galad#but gods no#I would reconsider only if they were to bring back Celeborn and have him kick Halbrand's ass into fucking Mount Doom#like the real reason he is stuck there it's because of the ass whooping he got from Celeborn

Lady Bone Demon: "Do not lament your fate child, you can rest knowing you served your purpose—destiny has found you."
(2x10 This is the End!)
-
Lady Bone Demon: "A reminder: it seems you can not be trusted to willingly follow the path of destiny. But know this: If you betray me again—one misstep, one failure in any way—I will erase the very memory of you."
(3x04 The Winning Side)
-
Tang: "You're wrong. I know I'm not a strong as they are. I may still be searching for my purpose—but what I do know, is that doing it alone is not the path I'm destined to take. Deep in my heart, I know my place is alongside my friends."
(3x08 Benched)
-
Lady Bone Demon: "I sent you a task—you were to retrieve the Monkie King and his protégé, yet you refused the path of destiny and so there will be pain."
(3x08 Benched)
-
Tang: "STOP! It was me! I mean, yeah, Macaque forced me to do it and I am definitely starting to have second thoughts on the whole thing now but- I don't know how and I don't know why, I just felt like I had to. Like it was...destiny!" Lady Bone Demon Voice Over: "Destiny can not be undone Sun Wukong."
(3x10 The Samadhi Fire)
-
Lady Bone Demon: "No matter what you do, you cannot change the path of destiny." MK: "I don't know if this all happened because it was destined to, but I have to believe that I found the staff so I could use it for good." [...] "If you really believed that destiny can't be changed, you wouldn't be using every ounce of power you have to keep him contained!"
(3x14 Destiny Fulfilled)
-
Lady Bone Demon: “Know this, monkey, you and I are not so different. We both fight for what we think is right—that pursuit only leads to one thing." MK: "Hmmhm. To destiny, right?" Lady Bone Demon: "No. To pain."
(3x14 Destiny Fulfilled)
-
MK: "I can't believe that worked!" Tang: "Eh, if that was destined to go wrong, then it would have!"
(4x03 The Great Tang Man)
-
Tang: "If your bonds of friendships our strong, then you will always find your way back to one another!"
(4x04 Pig Napped!)
-
Macaque: "Wukong was on a path of self-destruction, we all were. But when he met the monk, it set him on a different path." MK: "Ah! The path of the good guy! Making those good life choices?"
(4x11 A Lifetime of Mistakes)
-
Purpose, Pain, and the Path of Destiny
#originally this started as like ''huh Tang said the thing LBD said'' and then it turned into a 3 way thing between Tang LBD and MK#Like 2 sides of the destiny coin and the guy who undoes/changes destiny#''Destiny has found you'' ''You will always find your way back to one another!''#I FEEL FUCKING CRAZY#THE JOURNEY. THE PATH THERE. FINDING THE SCRIPTURES. YOUR FRIENDS. YOUR PURPOSE. DESTINY. IDK#lmk really was like ''Everyone's destiny is pain. Cope with that fact'' and I've been losing my mind for a year#Like whatever#''No matter what I do it's going to lead to pain''#LIKE THAT'S. THE PATH OF DESTINY (''path of self-destruction''). Okay. Okay#Not even that relevant to the post I'm just in so deep rn#''All doomed to play a role in tearing this world apart'' and then s5 being the world literally tearing itself apart. Like jesus#They really just wanted to completely decimate MK's little positive growth from the special like. Immediately.#''At least we fixed something for a change- instead of destroying it'' AND THEN THEY DIDN'T FIX ANYTHING#WHICH I'VE BEEN SAYING WAS HOW IT WOULD GO FOR A WHILE. BUT ON GOD TO BE PROVEN SO RIGHT#You know I hope Mei also has a terrible time next season I really feel like she was going through it in s4. But like subtly#Not MK's monkie mental breakdown way#*cough* tag rant over#lmk#lego monkie kid#lmk parallels#lmk Tang#lmk LBD#lmk MK#lmk theme: destiny#to pain

well @eli719
thank you for being the first (and only) person to respond!
You asked for my favorite tropes, and honestly, these are just a few. I didn't feel like drawing tentacles or the nasty things they do. But what I want to say is my favorite tropes are just the most fantasticals. The villain hypnotizing the hero to surrender to her will, or the TV/Computer that picked up the wrong signal, and of course the classic pendulum.
Thanks for the req!
#brainwashing#hypnosis#hypno art#my art#hypnok1nk#mind control#i don't know how to explain it#like i come on here and I see all the posts where people deduce themselves to their parts or the desire for them and I'm just like :/#like I guess that's hot???#idk I'm asexual#but to me#the allure to hypnosis has always been the idea of being made to do something with little to no awareness#and that could be anything#sirens singing to lure people to their dooms?#faes luring the curious away forever?#THE FUCKING BAD GUY STEALING THE HERO#idk#I like to embrace a little more fiction

thinking about how the city of Glasgow feels like a prison to johnny. how despite the mactavish's venturing out into the world they all seem to land back in Scottish soil. how so many of them rest in glaswegian soil. johnny writes them off as weak, tells himself that he'll leave and never come back. finally leaves only to hear the city call for him every night. to feel it pull and tug on the invisible strong that tethers him to it. he doesn't know the MacTavish blood and the Scottish soil are one and the same. and it doesn't take kindly to its offspring deserting it.
#.kiko-talks#i love a little guy thats just doomed#by generations that came before him#<- past me#current me ->#clearing out my drafts#what the fuck was i cooking
