The vast majority of my archery group are well over 55 and seem to be having quite the time trying to process me.
Its fantastic.
Is it the age, the cane or the chronic pain?
What's confusing here?
#i am an enigma#I should point out thay they're very very nice#just absolutely baffled#chronic pain#cane user#archery#wheelchair in the wild

Kiss Kiss Fallen Tree!
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#Sorry to everyone who was looking forwards to this comic only to find out I put WWX in the ugliest outfit.#Continuity came first. Plus let's be honest; he did *not* show up in anything fancy. Or in all black as seen in most fanart.#We are at the middle of WWX depression arc. His self-care was 100% because Jin Yanli would be sad if he didn't try to look nice.#Okay okay. Fine I've delayed talking about the kiss long enough.#It is absolutely a core LWJ scene over a WWX scene. Which is made even more fascinating because we don't get his POV.#But we get so many insights! His loss of control and his firmness all contrasted against how he trembles.#And all of that wrapped up in a wonderful self-loathing bow! You go Lan Zhan! You hated yourself so much for this!#WWX is a hilarious narrator for this because he is truly just...baffled by what's going on.#He would push the person away but he doesn't want to hurt their feelings or pride (putting other people first again are we?)#I do understand why this one is divisive for people though. I choose to look at it through a character/humourous lens.#I've seen people defend and admonish this scene as a particularly shitty thing LWJ did and let's be very clear here: It was.#That's why I like it. LWJ did a shitty thing and struggles with it. It's part of what makes him so robust as a character.#It's also fine if you enjoy this scene for it's eroticism. You're not a bad person for that. You are just A Person.#People will have their own experiences with this topic. Be kind to each other alright?

Call me homophobic, but I don't actually think it's great representation to stick a complex, dynamic, newly-realized bisexual character permanently with a flat, boring, underdeveloped love interest just because that was the first guy who showed interest.
#in my hater era#like what you like#but goddamn#the argument that this is somehow outstanding queer representation is baffling#they have had 13 episodes to DO something with this character and they have chosen not to#no development anywhere#even though they literally brought him back so there is built-in background ripe for the picking#and yet#anti bucktommy#anti tommy kinard#the saddest part is#i don't even hate him#he's not important enough to hate#there is just absolutely nothing to him#and that's sad because whether or not he was intended to be long-term or endgame#the writers are better than this and the character SHOULD have SOME development#like why are we all swooning over 911 shoehorning in a returning character to tell a bi buck story#but treating that character like the most expendable love interest in history#i don't like him but actually i think queer characters#and especially ones who are part of such a major later-in-life bisexual realization storyline for a beloved main#deserve a little more respect than what 911 has been giving him#anyway#might delete later i don't know#also i need to stop looking at the 911 subreddit#worst takes i've ever seen that place is a cesspool

regulus who at first hates sev for being a poor, weird halfblood but for some reason keeps getting special treatment from his cousin and her fiancé
and years later he does the same thing
#snegulus#regulus x severus#mine#rkgk#i love this specific type of snegulus#hes a puppy dog just like his big brother#feral to those he dislikes but absolutely enamored to those he loves#he was baffled when he saw how much lucius endorses sev to everyone#and his idol lv taking a quick liking to him eventhough he's a nobody#and then it clicked in his head how special sev is despite his blood status#complete 180 after

Nil and I decided to read ACCA 13 after watching it some months ago. I wanted to draw the Lilium brothers (because I'm in love with them) and Grossular.
#art#fanart#acca 13#still cannot get over how lilium's little brother is just a pretty doe-eyed komui look alike???#he was made FOR ME#suffering that we never got first names for anyone except for like 4 characters#also no height or age information... absolutely baffling#anyway i think middle brother Lilium is the shortest of the three

every time i read an autobiographical comic about a transfeminine person practicing putting on makeup as a visual metaphor for the difficulty of Performing Womanhood i can feel my whole heart vibrate with sympathy. like. one of the absolutely most common Girl Experiences is feeling like you're never girling right or enough. there's so many rules and expectations and there's fucking makeup. i could never wrap my head around makeup!! not even for gender reasons, it's just this whole culture i don't understand. trying to grasp makeup feels like being a street urchin at an extremely exclusive high end restaurant crying because i don't know what fork to use and they won't let me eat with my hands. my seventh grade classmates tried to help me be girl by taking me shopping for nice clothes and mascara and i couldn't even wear it for a week. not only do you have to go through the intricate rituals of application but you have to remove it at the end of the day??? and everyone acts as if this arcane knowledge is something inherent to girlhood that you're just born knowing and feel naturally inclined to do??? i don't understand!!! i don't understand!!!!! people treated me as if i was being rebellious and making a statement but i just do not understand all the powders and inks and pencils and gunks and creams and brushes!! they feel bad against my face and i'll flinch from anything getting too close to my eyes. it doesn't matter how many offers for help i get or how many tutorials there are, i never wanted this for myself! i shouldn't have to do this! i can be a person without it just fine if you let me!
watching anyone trying to learn how to do makeup from scratch is like watching someone learning a new language. if you think it's hard it's because it is hard and don't let them tell you it's not, just because they've been speaking it for a long time
#'you don't need a full face just five products-'#and every step will feel like a thousand knives#ultimately my relationship to makeup has very little to do with whatever my gender turned out to be. it's an absolutely baffling practice#u dont gotta wear makeup if u dont wanna!!!!!!!#but i also know society can be hostile to people who dont wear makeup when theyre percieved as someone who Should#so its not like im gonna tell anyone what they should or shouldnt do

“steve uses the harrington charm” this, “steve uses all his typical flirting playbook moves” that, give me a steve who assumes that since he’s crushing on eddie, who’s a guy, he has to use moves that girls usually use on guys in order to get eddie to recognize that he’s flirting.
give me steve thinking that since eddie isn’t a girl, all the usual flirting he does won’t work, so he assumes he should use the moves girls he’s dated have used on him instead. give me steve tilting his head and batting his eyelashes and asking a very perplexed eddie to explain something about cars or sports since “guys are just so smart about this stuff.” give me steve playing up being cold until eddie gives him his jacket, give me steve feeling up eddie’s biceps and going “wow, you must work out a lot. oh, you don’t? could’ve fooled me, your muscles are, like, so big.” give me eddie being so bewildered because steve keeps laughing at jokes that probably aren’t as funny as he’s making them out to be, or eddie being perplexed by steve twirling his hair or smiling coyly while trailing his fingers over the tattoo on eddie’s forearm.
just steve absolutely laying on the moves, but they’re not his usual moves. robin is incredibly amused and has resigned herself to eventually explaining that the gender of the person steve’s flirting with doesn’t necessarily have to change his approach (only once the comedy of the situation dies down, of course). eddie is utterly bewildered, because other than this, steve is acting totally normal.
#eddie being particularly baffled about the cars and sports comment#that’s the one tactic that backfires on steve#because eddie immediately turns around and goes “didn’t you play that????”#“steve “he’s a guy so i have to be the girl” harrington#robin “that’s not how being gay works” buckley#eddie “what the fuck is happening” munson#just absolute shenanigans because it’s the 80s and gender roles are so Heavily Ingrained into the politics of dating#stranger things#eddie munson#steve harrington#steddie#steve x eddie#robin buckley

today i told my therapist about something i'd seen on tumblr where i was like "this is some sort of therapy tool in disguise and i'm annoyed because i can tell that if i use it, it's going to work" and she was like "actually it sounds like it's a really good tool and i'm going to save it and use it on you when you've forgotten you told me about it." ???? she is doing some cocomelon shit to me.
#maybe the first good therapist i've ever had btw this is a positive post. i am just sort of baffled and amused. THIS IS WHAT IT TAKES?#YOU HAVE TO SET TRAPS???? <- she absolutely has to set traps i am maybe not the world's easiest patient.

I must admit it exhausts me a bit when people compare the interactions between the companions in da2 and veilguard and complain that the veilguard crew don't argue viciously enough or don't have enough fundamental unbridgeable ideological differences. like yeah it's almost like dragon age 2 is a game specifically about implacable human discord in all its forms and that's the theme the companions also build up under and provide a lens to look at. and perhaps. just maybe. veilguard is doing something different and also interesting thematically if you look at it for what it actually is, and its companions are playing into those themes instead (come become beside me my friend none of us have this figured out but at least we have each other along the way. you must struggle with who you are. despite the high high stakes on paper, veilguard (sometimes to its detriment, often to its advantage once you realize this is what it's doing) is really not that interested in outward conflict, between ideas or groups or individuals -- most of the real meat and potatoes is in the internal struggle of the characters with themselves and their identities, the ways they've been changed and also stay the same, it's weirdly deeply trans all the way to the depths of the narrative that way, as well as fundamentally being about trauma recovery. again, what you're ultimately fighting is not actually in the realm of elgar'nan and ghilan'nain at all, it's on the level of solas' despair and his regret over what he's done and who he's become).
tl;dr why are we pitting two bad bitches against each other etc. they're literally both pretty and I love them
#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#it's fine not to vibe with this game! but claiming it's only doing surface things while you are doing only the most surface read.....#well. I shan't be as snarky as my worse instincts might wish me to be. but c'mon give it an honest try#at least my many years of da2 love have trained me perfectly to die on unpopular hills I nevertheless personally treasure haha#I am Ready#not that there aren't big actual writing problems in the most classic of bioware styles -- look at the unfortunate fact#that ivenci is just. so factually objectively right in the crow storyline that they have to have him go full quisling/'somehow.#orsino still became a flesh monster' to discredit his pov and have you side with the crows. it's only the power of sexy stupid characters#that makes that in any way work. (but such is the power of teia and viago and lucanis' big puppy dog eyes that I go 'anything for you')#this was honestly to be expected though would you even recognize a bioware game without some absolutely unhinged#and baffling writing choices with the strangest probably unintented implications attached along these lines. it's like coming home

no but like, I'd eat my shoe for a light novel of Dazai's and Fyodor's first meeting because there's one RAGING question I have:
Dazai already mentions Fyodor in The Day I Picked Up Dazai, so he crossed paths with Fyodor at least by 16.
Now my question is, did he find it suspicious Fyodor hadn't aged a bit? Like, in 6 years, Fyodor hasn't gained a single wrinkle on his face, his facial features didn't get any sharper, he didn't get any taller. He looks the exact same 6+ years later.
I guesssss you could make an argument that maybe Fyodor has fabulous genes that keep him looking youthful and like he hasn't aged a day, but I feel like Dazai would pick up on any subtleties.
anyway, light novel of them. gimme. I can think of several ways they ended up meeting most of them not-so-good for Dazai since he was in a terrible spot mentally but I WANT TO KNOW
#bungou stray dogs#bungo stray dogs#bsd#bsd dazai#bsd fyodor#fyozai#thoughts#and by not so good i actually wonder if dazai and fyodor met under the strangest circumstance#like while dazai was making an attempt - jumping in the water or something#and fyodor was just. absolutely baffled that this kid wanted to take his own life#when so many others are dying to live and dazai's just...yeah

Every now and then I remember there are people who believe Endeavor deserves/deserved his redemption/atonement arc, but Bakugou doesn’t and I just….
#I don’t care if you think Endeavor deserves or doesn’t deserve his arc#BUT quite frankly I find it baffling that 46yr old man can abuse/hurt his whole family#which resulted in absolute tragedy for basically all of them and be deserving of redemption/atonement#after going years of not changing for the better and being an adult when he committed his wrongs BUT god forbid you are a middle school#bully that just crosses the line 🙄 reminds me of the “I can excuse this but draw the line at that”’ meme#like all I’m saying is if you are willing to give a ex-child abuser a chance surely a teenage bully deserves it too??#and this isn’t me trying to say “an bullying isn’t that bad’#obviously bullying is bad it leaves a mark and trauma but it just baffles me ok 😭#bnha#mha#my hero academia#bnha spoilers#boku no hero academia#mha spoilers#anti endeavor#bakugou katsuki#katsuki bakugou

And then his husband enters his life and is like "do you have toe beans as a dragon? is that a thing? do reptiles have toe beans?" and Sascha looks at him like "I do not know the meaning of those words in that order..."

#my characters#mr the demon lord sir i love you#his name is sascha and he is very much a pacifist bc he wants the best for his demons#and they all call him boss#instead of like. lord or anything high and mighty its just super casual YEAH BOSS and they all like him#and they all appreciate what hes doing for them and what he has done and they also are like ohhhh#human husband guy is a funny lil dude we like him and he said he wants to adopt us#thats our mom now boss and sascha is just so baffled at how loving a human can be towards demons and he loves his husband#SO SO SO SO MUCH YOU GUYS HE LOVES HIS HUSBAND A LOT#and while he is very non violent he will transform into his large dragon form to intimidate anyone who wants to harm him or another demon#and and he does have toe beans and reynold says thats adorable and he laughs while prodding at them and sascha#has never loved anyone as much as he loves reynold who claims its mutual and absolutely not stockholm syndrome#(sascha does not know what that means but he thinks its good that its mutual)#so anyway i have to get some fucking sleep bc ive humiliated myself in TWO SEPARATE DMs while working on this#by having brain too eepy to function#its bad you guys..... im so tired
