I feel like posting some pictures I've taken in FFXIV. But not the good shit. OLD stuff, before I knew what the hell I was doing.
When I first started, I found gpose intimidating, so most of my early screenshots are of my boys in cutscenes. I still take a fuckton of those, a leftover habit from when I used to write Let's Plays, particularly my LPs of SWTOR. This is the first non-cutscene picture in my folder that I think is worth looking at. You can tell it's old because Tiny Estinien is in it, rather than Duck.
THIS one you can tell is old because it's an old AST animation that died when ShB arrived. I know there are people who like current AST. I know there are people who liked ShB AST. But I haven't liked the class since Stormblood. I loved the SB version of AST, and I doubt they'll ever recapture the magic for me, which is a little sad. I'm willing to be proven wrong, of course, fingers crossed for whatever 7.0 brings.
It took me forever to even notice the lighting controls, and I had basically no eye for photography, so a lot of my early gpose experiments are poorly lit and have shaky composition. But I can't bring myself to get rid of them. They're HISTORY.
I did enjoy seeing exactly how silly dragoons are while messing around with gpose, though. I wish I was better at the class (it's too clunky) because it's exactly the sort of awkwardly endearing vibe I think Dusk carries in general.
Seriously, I just did not mess with lighting at all at first. Which is funny, since lighting is one of my nominal skills. I spent years as a theatrical electrician, I whine about having to work with only three points of light I can't change the angle on constantly. But during the early times? Whatever the lighting happened to be, is what my gpose got lit with.
I think another reason why I keep these is because I can look at them and see all the ways I'd do it better now, and be pleased by my progress. I wavered on if I should show them at all, but you know what? So many people find gpose intimidating. They see people's amazing shit (and there's so much amazing shit!) and think they can't do it. I get complimented on my gpose work now, I know I'm pretty okay. So I want to show I didn't burst forth good at it. I have a lot of awkward shit in my folders!
And even with all the awkward, I have some nice stuff from my first year in FFXIV that I like the look of, even if I wouldn't do it that way now.

Dusk, for a long time, I only ship shipped with Estinien.
He has chemistry with a lot of NPCs, mind you, and Dusk is polyamorous, but Estinien was the one ship that continued sailing, no matter how little he was showing up in the MSQ. BUT THEN.
Farron appeared on the scene, and we both ship them so hard. @petitfarron also loves the Dusk/Estinien ship, though, and loves elezen in general, so ... y'know. Both ships continue on.
I have other ships for my other characters, of course.
There is Mercuriel/Vezin:
And Errol/Y'sonjha:
And Bjalla/F'lhaminn:
Everyone loves Bjalla/F'lhaminn.
WoL/OC Question(s)!
This one goes out to the WoLshippers! Who do you ship your WoL/OC with? An NPC or another WoL/OC? How did they meet, and how long have they been together? What kind of relationship do they have?
Show me your favorite SFW gpose/art of them together!

Me: I joke about writing the same McCoy centric story over and over again in different ways
Me: and like. I love doing it and imma keep doing it because it makes me happy.
Me: but also. I do sometimes wonder if it's like. A little Much.
Me: like maybe I should branch out or something
Me: [reads another fundamental and extremely insulting misread of McCoy's character by someone who is clearly making a Choice to cast McCoy as the villain, because they have to get him out of the way of spirk, because they're too???? idk immature??? to realize that even when you're in a relationship with one person, other ppl can and SHOULD still be important to you]
Me: lmao I hope I AM too much actually!!!! I hope it is 100% obnoxious how much I love that doctor!!!!! Time to write more versions of the same story of McCoy being forced to realize that he is loved and cared for!!!!!!
Me: I KNOW MY NICHE AND IMMA DIE IN THAT NICHE, THANKS

not to project like a motherfucker on natalie berzatto but ohhhh boy the impact of a narrative that says “hey, is your desire to make sure everybody around you is okay also about you? and could that perhaps be partially a maladaptive trauma response you should look into and maybe mitigate? because if it’s a genuine question that’s fine, but if the only answer you will respond well to hearing is yes that’s a You Issue Too, Babe”
#as somebody with a loud and toxic italian extended family the bear comes for my neck over and over#s3 is going even harder on that#nat’s pathology is gentler and less easy to spot than mikey’s or carmy’s or god help us all donna’s#but it is nonetheless unhealthy and bad for her#the theme of “you do not need to be Good And Pleasing to be worth love” is a lot this year#related (and this will take s4 to be sure of but i have Hope) that your ability to succeed in a garbage capitalist structure defines worth#as somebody who worked in a lot of kitchens this show just feels like home#and the thing that kept jarring me about the whole let’s upgrade to fine dining plan was …what about the people you leave behind#and after having seen napkins now it feels like the show KNOWS THAT#tina could not be hired at the bear but being hired at the beef saved her life#god i want them to bring this home#the fact that the sandwich window is the ONLY THING MAKING MONEY feels promising#like… i want the bear (the in-world restaurant) to succeed#but also no. no i do no want it to succeed as-is.#i want the bear and the beef to blend for REAL and then succeed#or i guess fail given the general themes of the season but try on terms they can be entirely proud of!!! even if they fail!!!

Law would love "House" and Sanji would love "The Bear" yes, but have you considered both of them watching Love Island together
#because i think they'd enjoy talking shit about people together#love island parties and it's sanji law nami and usopp judging people#i just think sanji would be into reality shows like REALLY emotionally invested#and nami would wonder how much they get paid for this shit and if she could make zoro go with her and cause drama#law would say he hates it but then he stays to watch the whole thing#law: how can you watch this garbage / sanji: you're watching it too / law: bc my annoying roommate is doing it and he won't let me read#law a minute later: she's such a fucking liar what the hell is wrong with her can't she see he's being HONEST OH MY GOD-#sanji: garbage you say / law: shut the fuck up#lawsan roommates au when#'and they were roommates!' and they share netflix account#one piece#trafalgar law#black leg sanji#lawsan

Dusk and Farron:
Bjalla and F'lhaminn:
I currently have the kind of tired only a month of sleep will fix, but I only have two days left of this hell. (If this is how Aymeric feels all the time, that man needs like 50 vacations and a nice mug of tea)
So, in the meantime I am asking for pics of your WoL/OCs looking cozy. Just all bundled up n' content. Bonus points if they're having a good snooze or a cup of something warm. Extra bonus points for ship content. <3
I'll reblog 'em once I get home on Sunday!

Oh my g-d okay your tags on the Cherokee 'great grandma was a princess' post. 'Spirit wolf' whatever names? According to the BIA, that's literally a sign that a tribe is full of shit. A lot of times, the folks running admin for these groups have names like 'Big Standing Bear Jones'. My personal favorite was 'Buffalo Sister'. It's connected to 'naming ceremonies' they give themselves, which is also a common thing the BIA has noticed with all of these groups. Whatever you do don't go on Tiktok it's terrible there
YEA I think I've seen you talk abt that before, or I've seen it somewhere. It does feel like I see bogus state tribe people talk about getting Naming Ceremonies soooo often and then actual connected people ive seen are like. 'Yea my grandma just called me worm' or smth lmao.
It's so funny cuz the 'cherokee names' in the fake tribes are always in English... or at least mostly. I've even heard someone say 'I was named [such and such in english] and we just don't know what it would be in cherokee yet' like. A cherokee name..... get this... a cherokee name is by definition... in cherokee.
#and then you get people who come up with names for themselves like im guessing thats probably where the#'gator lone wolf' type names come from if not from a bullshit fake group#man when i was with the choctaw a few weeks ago someone came up to the elder that was with us#and was like im choctaw too im in a group that isnt recognized.#here let me show you on my phone what my choctaw name is (: [couldnt even say it ???]#and the choctaw woman was like. uh. well this bit sorta sounds like the word for long'#and the girl was like 'it means eternal flower (:' its just. so weird lmao#god yea i bet tiktok is so bad with this garbage#i admit i have been tempted because facebook reels kinda suck and are full of stolen content#but i feel like tiktok is just. so awful#cherokee#asks

let me be honest with you guys i would have gone into hiatus 3400 times and or deleted stuff if it wasnt because we (yes me and you included) love munch so much. its crazy
#to express that i am human for a sec: im an insecure person and i constantly feel like im not good enough#and posting my creations (mainly art) for everyone to see was always difficult for me until i started munch#and i didnt even start thinking i want a bunch of people to read this i just wanted to put my stuff somewhere#and stop pulling myself back and turning very small out of shyness and imposter syndrome#even now when i still feel like garbage and end up comparing myself to others (the way i used to do with art) what keeps me from doing#something stupid is my story and my characters and all the people who love them (and let me know you do. which i appreaciate a lot always)#so yeah what im trying to say is that im very thankful. about a lot of things#dl#i deleted a bunch of stuff today you probably wont even notice its not there anymore. NOT ANYTHING FROM MUNCH ITSELF THO id die#not my cancer ass showing my emotions oh well

I'm not going to pretend it doesn't make me angry that I spend months and years trying to peddle my work to make ends meet, that I spend so much time mentioning my books and comms and everything, and people ignore that consisently... But the moment I finally break under the hopelessness - when it's obvious that it's fucking futile, that almost no one deems my work good enough to share with anyone else - suddenly they're concerned and scolding me. I'm working several jobs, bathing, generally keeping things clean, and I do this with several health problems including chronic pain. I found out that one of my cysts is growing and I may need to have it surgically removed. Which means potentially missing work to recover. Which means more money I lose. I spend so much time crawling out of the hole and it goes ignored, but the moment I just give up bc I don't have any strength left, suddenly that's my fault and I'm mentally sick. And that kind of makes me wish my entire situation upon people, and when they whine that it's hard, well fuck you, you thought I could ace it so surely you can, babe! I hate being angry about this, but it's just so exhausting to tell people who accuse me of not trying that I HAVE I HAVE SO FUCKING HARD AND YOU DID NOT PAY ATTENTION THEN Or you know you're attempting to gaslight me by claiming I didn't try despite that I obviously have worked my ass off trying, and that's so much fucking worse
#mcalhen personal#and I'm not saying I'm not mentally ill but ffs stop using it as a weapon to discredit people when they have the solutions right there#feels like people hate my writing and me and that's why I didn't go “I got the job” bc friends who never support me would be like#“I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU CONGRATS” cool I'm not I spend an entire day usually recovering from very calm shifts at a job I like#but the moment I publish a book it's not congrats it's I don't know this guy I don't know Cal and I'm gonna pretend I never saw anything#I don't even hate my goddamn job even tho it can be stressful but it's the easiest thing for mostly just 2 days a week#but it is not sustainable and I cannot survive on this and disability would be invasive as hell and y'all don't know shit about how they#treat disabled people in this country but goddamn I have watched that shit unfold with my autistic brother who can't work#and I can never help him at this rate#bc I can't help myself#I can't help anyone#and saying that is a big fucking issue with people who think if they say 'it gets better keep going' I'll magically unfuck my life#as if I haven't spent the entirety of my life trying to unfuck things#as if I didn't give myself an education in spite of my family#y'all never been threatened with physical violence bc you weren't supposed to ask for school supplies and it fucking SHOWS#I have learned so many things on my own time out of sheer desire to better myself and my situation#but at a point where nothing works out and each day is just filled with more bad news#at what point am I actually allowed to give up?#or am I supposed to just keep this up until I die with 40 more years of collected bullshit pain#bc if you want me to live like this for 40 years then... you never cared at all#and what's so stupid is that I really want to earn my living by doing the work#I work on my art and writing but let's just admit that it's pathetic already#no mental health services or pills will erase that I'm a pathetic garbage can of uselessness#also I realize no one owes me anything like boosting my work or w/e#but also don't ask me to turn rotten ingredients into a feast and say I'm not trying when I can't fucking do it

I would like to congratulate Klavier Gavin for both the worst aa name and also being the first prosecuter with pretty much no dirt on him. I am impressed and will be adding him to my (slightly) sad boy collection.
also klapollo is better than writghworth
althought the ship name is terrible and i hate it
#ace attorney#miles will forever remain ace in my heart#and larry will forever remain his anime self cause they really did him dirty in the games#anyway yeah congrats klavier#you did what godot couldn't#unless you also for some reason turn out to be a douchebag in the later games#but i doubt that usually we know what someone's about by the end of the game#that's not to say that no other prosecuters are good#edgeworth has a very special place in my heart#and franziska made me feel a lot better about my own name#but let's face it when they show up for the first time they're kinda garbage people#cause they're dumped in trauma!#but they also do very much do crime for bad reasons then#anyway this isn't actually a moral judgement for a silly court game#i don't care about that#i just think it's funny that klavier is the first guy who is pretty much just what he says he is#he is hiding something but as far as he really knows he didn't do anything wrong#he was lied as much as everyone else#also unrelated i think trucy and kay should hang out and terrorize the country

about to watch an hour & a half long video titled "Why How To Train Your Dragon 3 Is Not Good" & I feel so fucking vindicated right now
#I'M GONNA SAY IT: HTTYD 3 SUCKS ASS. I'M RIGHT & I SHOULD SAY IT#like from a writer's standpoint it sucks but ALSO from a viewer's standpoint. HTTYD 2 & 3 just aren't very good#i mean obviously 3 is waaaay worse than 2 but both take any & all character development from 1 & kinda throw it in the garbage#& i think because 1 was so good it just set the bar so high. but then again#Riders of Berk. Defenders of Berk. & RTTE were all very good shows with like less than a quarter the budget of the movies#why did the shows have better characterization & development than the actual main movies?#you cannot imagine my disappointment when they were like ''whatever let's just slap Ruff with Snotlout or Fishlegs at the end''#Snotloud & Fishlegs are bisexual & dating. this is the only version of canon i will accept#the shows gave me that why can't the movies???#yes they literally kiss in the show. yes you need to watch it right now#idk i feel like in the movies hiccup is the only character. everyone is a background character to him#& his characterization isn't even consistent with the first movie#he unlearns how to draw. he fucking unlearns how to draw because he's too cool for loser hobbies now. i'm going to kill someone

Had to take some more self-care measures : ^)
#Jay Talks#Vent#Context is they no longer let me keep my timeline in chronological order and it was stressing me out so much I had to block the website#I cannot put into words how uncomfortable it makes me to see Posts That People You Follow Liked#Or be shown comments that mutuals make on posts I'm not a part of#I know it's just Twitter's shitty breach of privacy nature#But I just feel like it just shouldn't be any of my business#Nor should it be anyone's business what kind of stuff I'm commenting on#Complete randos leaving likes on replies I make to my IRLs is creepy and uncomfortable#The chronological timeline hid all that garbage#But now that I can't put it as default it's just constantly showing me stuff I don't want to see#I feel like I'm just fussy all the time#Social Media and the internet and everything has just been so frustrating#And I hate feeling myself getting upset so easily#It's exhausting I miss when the internet was an escape

It feels undeserving 👍
#once again thinking if i should like. not tell anyone#not tell anyone when the festival will be held nor my thesis defense#dont tell anyone absolutely anyone so no one can come see me#whyshould i make people waste time on seeing probably one of the worst things i have worked on#i feel. judged everyday. nothing is as good as it should be#this does not feel like a feat but rather a terrible shame#who cares about my degree i always feel like im being shamed when someone broughts up the fact im working on my thesis#i like what i study. dont get me wrong. and i dont think this in general. this is a me only issue and iknow that#and i know everyone would get upset with me#not like my mind cares haha the thoughts wont stop even if i try to be rational#i feel like such a terrible burden just asking for help. i feel like everyones thinking what a disappointment i am#i shouldnt need help. i should be doing this alone. and it should be way better than the garbage im making#last class the professors asked me 'why did u rate yourself so low? your work is fine'#i didnt even pick the low option i wanted. i picked a higher one to be generous with myself. i wish i had picked a 1. thats what i deserved#even if they say it looks good or that they r excited to see what i make. it all sounds like lies in my head#no one showing up is what i deserve. i shouldnt ask for help. i shouldnt celebrate anything#i wish people would yell at me and tell me what a fuck up i am#'the people that love you would be excited to help you if you would actually let them'#it all feels like a set up for showing what an idiot i am#haunted.txt

Sooo... Not being able to sleep and crying for 3 hours didn't do me any good huh
#miranda talking shit#I want to die but otherwise I'm good#Learning in real time how little I mean is not a fun bonus when that's what I'm already crying about#I guess I'm just too hard and everyone is different but man being told “I don't want to see you suffering” as I am#And then having the person ignore me as I'm sobbing on the other side of the room... Jao#Words means less than dirt then. Men's solution to any bad emotion someone feels being “ok ill leave you alone”#Without asking... No. I don't expect therapy or extreme care but even just sitting next to me would have done so much more#But at least I get to practice my quiet crying skills#I went out on an 50 min walk at 3 am and the reaction I got was an text that asked where I'm going#His cats showed more concern for me and they have brains like babies#“if something happened you can tell me” why is it always with men that something must have happened suddenly?#No nothing new has happened but my life situation is garbage rn and I feel alone and isolated and unloved? But that's not something that#Is new. So no. Nothing happened I can't say that uh#Feel like dewie in mitm “I expect nothing and still I'm let down”#Ok rant over its 9 am yeah

thinking about how im literally on like. the 8th draft of my novel, but i've still never actually come up with a full, beginning-to-end readable draft without bits missing or repeated scenes or entire chapters in the wrong order
lol
#why the fuck is this how my brain works#i fucking WISH i was one of those people who like. has all their writing beautifully organized in neat little folders#i mean like. in a way i do. i have most of my fics organized by fandom and ship and whether they're in-universe or AU#and then you open the doc and it's just a fucking horrorshow of scenes. most of them are half-finished. none of them are in order#when i need to find a specific scene i literally just think of a word or phrase i used in that scene and CTRL+F it#if nothing shows up after i've tried two or three combinations then i start searching through my notes app to see if i wrote it on my phone#then if i STILL can't find it i look in my emails in case i wrote it at work on the sly and saved it as an email draft#and then if i still can't find it after that i'll have to conclude that i must've written it in my head and forgotten to write it down#the masterdoc for dndb is a fucking MESS. it's even more confusing than the fic itself#cos im so paranoid about losing drafts that every time i rewrite a scene for the 3928283th time#i copy it into the doc AGAIN. so the current word count is 80k but half of it is just me neurotically redrafting the same 3 sentences#i let my friend start reading the garbage draft of my novel and she was like “im so sorry i can't read this it's fucking incomprehensible”#and then she gently pointed out that i'd used the same joke in 3 consecutive chapters and forgotten about it every time....#anyways i have a few chapters that are taking really nice shape but i just KNOW i'll get to a point where i turn the page and suddenly#there'll be another absolutely unhinged mess of tangled word-vomit for me to wrestle into something coherent...
