oh btw p3 update, i think im a little over half ways through.
#50 hours#just got past 10/4#so.#ive been kind of mulling over everything a bit#im not gonna lie it made me cry#even though i called it and was nearly confident it would happen#it still made me cry and i think thats incredibly impressive#bc ive been very rough on the expierence of playing so far#but i think i really do enjoy it(?)#akihiko、mitsuru、shinjiro、ken、aigis and minato all mean a lot to me#but heres my in game thoughts (w/o spoilers. look up the date if u wanna know what im talking abt and dont know already)#sees is so incredibly evil in the way they operate#i know this isnt the intention the game is presenting#but also this whole thing is fucked up#so fucked up#and we're marching towards our deaths because we have to#literal child soliders.#and dont get me started on ken#im gonna throw up im so scared for minato#pharos visited after 10/4 and we got a very large infodump which im thankful for. i like when he actually talks abt story stuff.#and i cant help but fear that this game is not actually 100 hours#my deepest fear is that i really am as close to the end as i think#and it ends in tradgedy.#well. thats all my thoughts for now、I'll update when ive got more significant stuff. o7#mikutimetalk

hc that one thing everyone in the batfamily knows without doubt is: alfred knows everything. hidding anything from alfred is a waste of time and energy, because he always just knows. so they simply don’t. they dont need to tell him, but they dont need to hide it, he always knows anyways.
however, the thing is alfred is just a regular old man who spends all of his time cleaning, cooking and making sure they dont die. he doesnt have time to be figuring out what the bat ninjas he has for a family is hidding so most often than not he doesnt know. it doesnt help that no one in the family ever tells him anything, because they expect him to just know. he just has a really really good poker face and an inability to be surprised by much so everyone just assumes he already knew once he discovers anything.
#alfred pennyworth#batman#batfam#he also doesnt know the batfam believe he knows everything#and he is really tired of being the last one to find out literally anything about their lives#bruce didnt even told him about batman#he found out a few weeks after on one of the first particularly bad nights where bruce just crashed on his bed wearing the batsuit#he blinked twice and then told bruce to remember to wear proper sleepwear next time#he found the batcave one day when he was cleaning and bruce just walked by him and walked in the cave#the sigh he left after realizing he had more to clean couldve heard from space#at some point much much later he started assuming every minor under their roof was just another child of bruce#(to be fair that is correct like 85% of the time so his logic is pretty solid)#he is convinced he is the grandfather of at least two heros in any superhero/vigilante group that existed#the batfamily needs better conversational skills#batfamily#robin#batgirl#dc#dick grayson#jason todd#tim drake#stephanie brown#cassandra cain#duke thomas#damian wayne#bruce wayne#dc titans#teen titans#young justice#dc outlaws

randomly remembering that i spent like. 10 years? 5/6 to 15/16 yo. wearing literal 19th to early/mid 20th century nightgowns on a daily basis in the warmer months (april-september). for some reason. like floor-length white gowns with embroidered collars and all. there were various models and colors and lengths and shit. they were passed on to my mother by the 10000000000 Ancient Italian Ladies she was learning her italiaboo ways from and like, all of these gowns were genuine period pieces their mothers and aunts and even grandmas (!) had worn when they were my age. (you know like. the eternal condition of "children's clothes get less worn down than adults' clothes since they usually grow them out pretty quickly"). and since they ALL had heaps of Old Unwanted Clothes in their attics (acute case of "never throw anything away" syndrome) they were ELATED to have found a victim period clothing enthusiast and dumped entire suitcases worth of various Ancient Attire on my mother (and, relatedly, on me). and then i wonder why everyone thought i was WEIRD!!! i was talking like urianger AND dressing like him too!!!
#and that's not even mentioning the fucking. UNDERWEAR they made me wear and the various dresses and shit...#i had to go outside the house (in the mountains) to go to the bathroom at night so if you weren't warned in advance and came home late#you had very solid chances of encountering a literal horror movie ghost#add to this my general Lost and Confused look + the curly blond hair i had as a kid#and well. i don't wonder everyone wanted to kill me on sight. fucking CURSED cursed child situation right here 😭#honestly now that i think about it the weirdest thing about my mother is that she didn't make me call her Mother + use the formal you#i'm less of a person and more of a timeline displacement i think.#sometimes the most recent item of clothing i was wearing was my mother's clothes from the 80's............#NOT even for money reasons. she kept buying HERSELF new trendy clothes ALL the TIME. LMAO#okay to be fair i did enjoy the nightgowns and some of the older clothes#and to be EXTRA fair i think i would have looked even weirder in Normal 2010's Teen Clothes#but also. jeez

Arlecchino discourse is really awkward because both sides are so convinced they are right and that the other side just lacks media literacy but 9 times out of 10 the take in question is also wrong and it leaves me scratching my head a little bit….
#fuzzy rambles#like either they are like ‘no she is bad and doesnt care for the kids at all’ or its ‘she is good actually and does care for the kids’#and for me its like… damn…. its actually a little more complicated than that but ok ig#saw someone say she doesnt care for freminet or lynette she just uses them as pawns for lyney to be her heir#which is so incorrect on almost every level#it’s basically a self report that they dont know freminet or lynettes relationship with arlecchino#like i think we can agree raising child solider is problematic or whatever while not painting everything she does as master manipulation#like the things ppl claim are just her 5000 level iq manipulation… rolling my eyes it doesnt even make sense#but at the same time she obviously isnt a saint who has everyones best interests in mind because they are still childe soliders#even tho things got better when she took control there is still a lot of cultish and cruel behaviors the kids get drilled into them#tho honestly the whole fatui is like that look at any of the recurits who arent from the orphanage and they are equally brainwashed#if not us than who or whatever (girl who thinks about what happened in the chasm and want to eat drywall)#idk. dont yall have parents? like u can love and care for a child and still suck as a parent#you can try to not become ur abusive mother and still turn into a monster of sorts#ignore the childe instead of child its literally muscle memory how embarrassing

My hot take is that season 4 of the umbrella academy was good actually
#this is how i get cancelled lol#i have literally seen nothing but hate and negativity for it but i just watched the whole thing and i liked it so. fuck me i guess#everyone is a tragedy enjoyer until the tragedy comes and then all the sudden it's not okay for stories to not have happy endings anymore.#anyways you're all entitled to your own opinions but i thought it was solid. satisfying.#they spend the show fighting together to save the world#unknowing that they're causing it's repeated destruction and the answer is to stop fighting? let go together?!#and its part of the tragedy that they're collateral damage. of course it wasn't their fault! did romeo and juliet create the family fued?#you desperately want Reggie and Abigail to be the only ones who are punished because it was their fault the whole thing happened#but idk how to tell you this. the storyteller wants you to be sad so that you understand the consequences of the actions of those at fault.#that's the point#anywayyyy#wait I'm actually not done bitching yet.#saw someone complaining about how creepy five and lila's romance was because Aiden Gallagher is ''barely legal''#and like ohhhh my godddd stop. it is not okay to treat 20 year olds like children who can't make their own decisions. he's 20.#he'll be 21 in like two weeks. he's not a child. if you didn't like that plotline thats fine! just say that!#leave your weird virtue signaling about age gaps out of it#anyway. that's all.#the umbrella academy

Here's actually the first doodle I did of all May, June, and Jake when I was first making them over a year ago. It is still completely accurate
#my ocs#im not tagging this as my art this is barely art#parker didnt even exist then </3 parkers literally like 2 weeks old yet shes having me rewrite like a solid 50% of my OC lore#Anyways in my insane long rambling i DID gloss over the ways in which June and May's dynamic changes but I prommy its actually a core theme#and a central aspect of the plot. and by 'central aspect' i mean 'its practically the focus' but theres soooo much going on that CAUSES-#-all of the oddities in their dynamic that its easier to just. focus on that when im describing it all at once lol#essentially their dynamic has to go from two very close sisters to now a guardian and a child and its just scary and uncomfortable for them#esp when you add Penny to the equation bc Penny basically INSTANTLY gets added into the dynamic#its a lot i have so many thoughts forever#the squits

there’s a lot of things im not enjoying about my life right now but i think the worst one is that i don’t have anything to talk about other than how miserable and tired and unmotivated i am
#im exaggerating a bit. the only positive and changing thing in my life is my dog#but like. this really is just 8 weeks of constant suckage#[ context. im in school to be a cpa while working full time. i have quite literally 0 free time. this will continue until about sept 2025 ]#i keep spiralling into questioning myself on why im even doing this#like deep down. i dont think society as it stands is going to last into my 40s. so why am i wasting my 20s on The Grind#spending my life until i turn 26 hustlegrinding so i can get a solid job and then coast the rest of my professional life#is only a good idea if the world stays functional and i live until. idk. 50 or 60 i think would make it worth it#im just so jealous of people who dont have to financially support their family. i didnt pick this. i dont want this#nobody around me gets it either. nobody i know is in this situation#every time somebody tells me to slow down or take a break i want to kill them. like im an only child and my parents are aging#they do not have retirement savings. there is a very real ticking clock for me to hit an income level to keep the 3 of us going#part of me wishes i were irresponsible and could just. do what i want until it blows up in my face#but im too serious im too cautious im too risk averse im too pragmatic#so here i am. spending my 20s ignoring any and all personal enjoyment in favour of Building My Future#i dont think life ends at 30 or anything. if i knew the world was going to be okay i wouldnt worry so much#but i cant shake the belief that we’re headed for a societal collapse in my lifetime. likely when i’m middle aged.#i dont want to be a doomer but what the fuck is the point of it all. why am i doing this if not to set myself up for the next 60 years#freewheeling bitextual

Ok Im watching Gundam. Did you guys know Gundam kind of rules
#I just finished episode 2 very early in gundam.#I like it starting with Amuro's dad talking about how one day they wont have to use child soldiers and#then like almost every solider dies horribly and now theyre using child soldiers.#Also only on episode 2 but I wasnt expecting the military conflict to literally just be like civil war because some people want to secede#Also got jumpscared by Char being here immediately I was thinking he was gonna get here later for some reason.

[ID copied from ALT: A digital sketch of my OC Rian, who is a genderfluid (she/they) "fennec fox" person. She is sitting with her legs loosely crossed, arms resting on her knees casually as they lean back slightly and smile languidly at the viewer. Her tail, which is tan, fluffy, and has a black tip, sweeps in front of her legs. Her ears are fluffy, large, and tan outside with white insides, featuring small cuff piercings along the front edge of the ear. Their hair frames their face in the front and sticks out cutely in the back, dark grey in color with bright acid green tips. Their eyes are a bloody brown and she's wearing a casual brown long sleeved shirt and desaturated blue leggings. End ID]
The cuckoo who invaded the nest.
#mara's art#Rian#OCs#rian!!! who has a very solid personality and general setting bc i rp'd as them for a while in a DA chat based group. lol#she is! part of a very rare species that are born directly from an invasive tree species#and literally designed to mimic species located where the invasive tree has rooted itself#so she mimiced the fox family she grew up in but as she grew older her hair *gestures at* changed color and her tail too#also the goal of her existence is to spread her mother's species to other planets and rob resources#like zerg but not bugs and more stealthy#also they have no remorse for killing others (not her species!) and likes the adrenaline rush when they're on the run#so. they're wanted in. a good portion of my universe bc they keep running around and getting caught and escaping#and planting seeds that grow trees that look exactly the same as the wildlife around them#oh also she has a child. the child was born like a clone lol#rian tossing her kid out: ok go distract them while i work

I feel like whatever was going on with majima/mirei/katsuya in the early 90s was some sort of complicated bisexual love triangle situation. like majima is majima and katsuya’s handsome and eloquent and absolutely doesn’t seem straight to me, but on top of that it feels like there was some sort of confusing tension between katsuya and mirei, not sure if it was romantic or one-sided or what but. SOMETHING. I don’t know what the hell was going on with those three really but no way in hell do I believe the romantic/sexual/??? depth ends with majima and mirei
#katsuya is HANDSOME and CHARMING and ELOQUENT. I just KNOW at least one of them was into him. probably both#one way I’m imagining it could’ve went is like#katsuya introduces majima and mirei to one another and mirei crushes on him pretty quick (because she is 19 and quick to do so)#majima doesn’t really particularly have an interest in her- not cause she’s unattractive or anything probably mostly because she’s almost a#because she’s almost a decade younger than him and barely legal. but at some point she confides in katsuya about her feelings for him and#katsuya being the sweet and honorable kinda dude he is acts as a wingman and tries to get majima to go out with her#and eventually majima relents because he doesn’t want to end up admitting to katsuya that he actually had a thing for KATSUYA#and by playing wingman for his good friend mirei majima takes it as him being uninterested and thus doesn’t shoot his shot and yeah#katsuya’s hard to say no to and hey I mean maybe mirei- a civilian- will make his life more capable of Normalcy#she’s conventionally attractive and is a decent enough friend- albeit he didn’t really know what she was like as a person before she was#crushing on him and also. again. she’s 19 and an idol. so inevitably her identity in general is NOT solid yet#almost as if rebounding off a relationship he never even Got- things move insanely quickly with mirei and they’re married in less than a#year. the whole time katsuya is there cheering them on- he’s smart and I think he’d see the red flags when it comes to their ages and#maturity at least but I think that’d become more apparent over time and he’d start to have regrets but#it’s way too late for that. especially when she comes to him bawling her eyes out because she’s found out she’s pregnant and she has no#idea what to do. both for her career and because she’s literally barely an adult she doesn’t want a child at that point but obviously she#knows she’ll feel guilty and- more than that- deep shame for terminating. she’s insightful even at that age and also maybe can read majima#well enough to know that he might take her abortion as a sign for him to book it to no longer cause her anymore issues. katsuya reassures#her cause what else is he gonna do. but of course she’s right and his commitment issues kick in big time and yeah. over the years katsuya’s#the in-between still close with both of them. specifically he’s closer with mirei and they trust one another a lot more than majima with#either of them- just because majima’s Like That and his trust issues create distance easily. nonetheless at some point majima asks him if#he’s been single for so long because he was hung up on mirei and apologizes if he got in the way of them and that leads into some really#long overdue admissions and likely hooking up. but of course majima is STILL majima and again kinda books it because feelings are#inconvenient and their time for something like a relationship has passed (or something like that).#mirei often wonders if things would’ve been better if she’d have ended up with katsuya instead but similar to majima she’s career-focused#now and just wants to value him as a friend regardless of any lingering potential feelings. majima ends up falling hard for kiryu#sooner than later and life just moves on from any romanticism beteeen the three of them- a nostalgic closeness lingers instead#rambling#that was. a lot.

At what point do all the "bad days" teaching coalesce into a bad year?
#i cant handle this level of screaming#this kid literally gets in my face and yells 'I DONT LIKE YOU'#which like#whatever#i dont react in the moment#but it SUCKS because i have to process it after#and it is exhausting to be solid this whole time when in any other job#this would qualify as abuse and i would be given some sort of support#two attempted bites and two attempted pinchings#also for record: i intentionally do not work in a behavior classroom because I know this is not something that is my wheelhouse#this isn't like my job that I'm getting paid for this is a child who is not in the right supportive setting that i cant provide#my setting is instructional only and this kid needs more and I can't give it to him because I don't have the resources#but I also myself know that this is not my area of expertise#thats why i dont apply for the higher paying behavior classroom job#because its not where i would be the best teacher#so why the FUCK am i doing behavior classroom work when I'm not getting paid for it and I didn't ask to#I'm so tired and overwhelmed and I just really wish someone gave a damn#in which sara is a teacher#anyway sorry#vent post#im so fucking tired

Also, also.
Yes. Catra hurt Adora, and worked for the bad guys.
It's not a simple black and white situation.
Because both Catra and Adora were victims of...that shadow lady. It's been a hot second since I've seen the show.
Point stands, their mother figure was grooming them, and yes this is the right usage of the word, to be soldiers for the side of evil. She intentionally set the two up to be rivals, by intentionally showering Adora with praise, and Catra with punishment. Emotional and implied physical punishment.
Both of them wanted to please her. Both of them were raised to believe their side was right, and they were doing good.
Adora was lucky. Not only was she the reincarnation of She-Ra, but she found kind people who treated her kindly even with initial suspicion, and was shown what the world could and should be.
Catra was not lucky. She didn't have the nice way out of the brainwashing. She had the rougher path, that involves lots of denial, refusing to see the other side, and yes, fighting.
Yes, Catra hurt Adora. Yet she apologized AND helped defeat the bad guys thus helping to fix the problem she aided in spreading. That's actually pretty good when it comes to kid cartoons and redemption.
And also, a lot of the pain and hurt wasn't on Catra, and Catra would still have a long road of recovery and healing to go. Because of what shadow mother and Hodrik (that his name?) and the other forces of evil did to her and Adora.
But to emphasize op's point?
None of this is exactly subtle. It's not supposed to be. A kid is supposed to be able to look at these dynamics in play and recognize that what shadow mother is doing is wrong, even when its to other bad guys. A kid is supposed to sympathize with Catra, just as they were supposed to sympathize with Zuko.
If you can recognize that what Ozai was doing to Zuko was wrong, and that while Zuko bears some responsibility for his actions, it's not entirely his fault, just as Azula bears some responsibility for her actions but its not entirely her fault?
You can recognize the more blatantly shown actions Shadow Mother takes are why Catra is doing what she does.
"we need less sanitized queer stories" yall keep saying fucking she-ra romanticizes abuse. you couldnt possibly handle less sanitized queer stories
#lix rambles#i actually adore how they did that dynamic#they didn't always stick the landing on execution but eh still a solid show#people compare catra to zuko but technically she parallels azula more#catra's ending is what would have happened if someone was willing to do the painful thing of continually reaching a hand out to azula#WHO WAS FOURTEEN BY THE WAY AZULA WAS FOURTEEN A LITERAL CHILD#i actually have had to warn folks when it comes to she-ra that there's parental abuse because while its not subtle its also fairly realisti#we have to infer a lot of ozai's emotional abuse as we only get glimpses of what it's like around him#she-ra shows a LOT more of it in action#which is honestly good as it might help kids recognize what's going on at home and potentially mention it to someone who can help#which is the important of showing dark things in media#even kid's media

kind of frustrating to be sitting there with an idea for a KILLER fic that's a scenario that could be absolutely filled with jokes but to not have any idea what those jokes should actually... be
#belostomations#one of the ideas has the characters watching a bad porno#but i dont watch pornos i watch five minute clips of alt girls riding bad dragon dildos. im a child of the new millenium.#so i actually dont have any clue what goes on in bad pornos beyond what ive osmosised from living in society#so i have to research i guess#although in the process of writing this post i came up with at least one really solid Bit so#complaining is literally always the answer
