I didn't want to talk about it until the whole horrible thing was over, but Wednesday slipped out an open door last week and (with the help of a motion-activated camera on the porch) we finally got him back last night!
he’s acting so sweet and cuddly today, it’s clear how happy he is to be home and safe inside.
#god though the day it happened was so scary#I've never physically exerted myself to the point where I thought I might fall over before#but we thought he might be hiding under a car so I walked around the neighbourhood from 8pm to 11:30pm checking under cars#which was sometime a bending/squatting motion if the car was high enough off the ground#and sometimes involved actually lying on the ground if it was a fancy low-rise car#I very quickly grew to loathe the low-rise car#but yeah I still getting back into shape after the 6 month book contract so doing 3 and half hours straight of adrenaline-fuelled squats was#very inadvisable. for three days afterward I had a hard time bending my legs bc of the muscle pain#but like literally did not notice the exertion while it was happening bc I was in 'oh fuck we need to find this cat' mode#we ended up plastering the neighbourhood in signs and pestering all our neighbours#which lead to several texted sightings that let us know he wasnt straying far from the house#so we set up a raccoon trap on the porch that DID NOT WORK#like he kept getting inside and eating all the food without tripping the trap?#so we'd adjust the sensitivity and the same thing would happen 💀 shitty trap#on night 5 we set up a motion activated camera so that we could make sure it was him eating the food#and holy shit. the stress of seeing him on the camera and not being able to open the door and grab him bc we knew he'd run and not come back#we literally WATCHED HIM ON THE CAM enter the trap and eat all the food without triggering it#and then he sat on the steps and groomed his face for 8 minutes straight while we whispered about what to do#eventually when he left the porch and started walking off we decided we could open the door without scaring him#(bc he was far enough away)#and so my housemate did that and started calling his name and opening cans of wet food to make the Good Food Sound#and holy shit. it worked#when we heard him meow back it was such a relief#they were such horrible distressed meows that we thought something had happened to injure him#but I think he was just vocalizing the emotions of being lost for 5 days and finally hearing his owner's voice#it took a few more minutes of coaxing for him to actually enter the house#he was a stray before my housemate took him in so the fear instinct is STRONG#but now today he's been cuddling up to us and letting us hold him for way longer than normal#and like I'm trying not to anthromorphise. but he's clearly so so happy to be back home and with the people he knows

hey everyone sorry for the silence, i was trying very hard to catch up with school work that i didnt manage to hand in on time. anyway i made a full body 3d model of my oc lucifer for a digital sculpting assignment :)
i posted a lot of the making process of this on twitter and i’ve also compiled everything into a moment that you can find here! go take a look if youre interested in watching me and lucifer suffer <3
(and also bonus dmc5 render looking pic of him bc a friend asked me to do it as a joke. my son is a dmc5 character now)
#he took abt 1 month and half to finish bc not only was i new to modeling and sculpting humans i also kept procrastinating lmao#i learned a lot though! and despite almost having multiple mental breakdowns over this it was fun#it was always a dream of mine to make my own 3d model of an oc so this is literally a dream come true im very happy for lucifer#i'll definitely be doing more with his model in the future; im planning to optimize it (bc the polycount is like. 8mil) and then rig it#so i can make him do all sorts of cool poses. maybe even mod him into some games. like idk. dmc5. who knows#anyway thats all from me for this week im fucking tired and i need to rest. i literally stayed up to 2am for two days just to finish him lol#i'll go back to posting art soon hopefully </3#my ocs#lucifer(oc)#how should i tag this so i can find him easier in the future...#lucifer becomes 3d#yea ok there we go i'll just use that. if i ever post any more 3d stuff with him i'll use that tag lmao#okay now lucifer's gonna hibernate for 3 months after the suffering i put him through and im gonna go back to drawing. see u guys later <3

actually there ARE nazis in ukraine and anyone still denying that on account of it being “russian propaganda” is an antisemitic/anti-romani racist piece of shit and can genuinely get fucked in the most exquisitely painful way
like hundreds of soldiers will outright post videos of themselves on tiktok wearing the totenkopf and the black sun and the fucking BANDERA FLAG and “leftists” will Pretend Not To See It and i genuinely h8 all of you
#like. *stares in ukrainian half jew whose great grandfather left kiev to escape antisemitic violence*#just complete fucking ignorance of the nuance over contested territories and guzzling nato propaganda lol#and just. forgetting entierly the months of reports on nato escalations despite russian warnings. like.#they act like it ‘came out of nowhere’ but literally no war comes from nowhere#people’s homes are getting destroyed b/c nato/zelenskyy and putin are having a pissing contest and ppl think giving money to the us gov’t to#send weapons to the azov fucking battalion will fix things#meanwhile minorities in ukraine (esp romani) have been facing horrific abuse that hardly anyone has reported on

I’m thinking abt skyward sword and. Zelda was away from her loftwing that whole time. She didn’t get to visit home the way Link did she was away from her loftwing that whole time. That must of been torture with how connected they are oh my god they were separated that entire time. I’m not ok this is gonna be stuck in my head now
#the whole time THE WHOLE TIME#first she doesnt get to see her bestie THEN she doesnt get to see the literal other half of her soul#thats so fucked up#link couldnt sense his loftwing for like 5 min and was panicking imagine the days weeks months however long zelda was stuck down there#oh my god she was so alone

anw here's how the mayoi 7 mysteries tour can still win-
#ensemble stars#enstars#mayoi ayase#if kohaku can have 3 5 stars in one fucking year so can mayoi#ok. so. i just did some slapdash math and a character cant get a 5 star for at least 3 months. mayoi's fs2. the most recent one. was jul 25#now. the 7 mysteries tours seem to be coming out every like? 3 events which is like a month and a half#seven bridges was jun 30 and this one is aug 15 ANYWAY SO. according to my calculations the last one of these tours should be like-#november 15th if not LATER#so. 3 months from jul 25 is the end of october. meaning it would be cut a little close but. if they give us something like a few shuffles-#-in between they could space it out a bit more#ALSO. literally who else deserves a 7 mysteries tour as much as mayoi does. cmon h.e. tell me who#tbh that would make this alkaP hell year but it would be fine. i just need mayoi lore and i'll be good for like. idk 6-12 months

What do you think about dean and jack? Was he a bad parent?
Hello Anon!
What I think about Dean and Jack is that I am currently in progress of writing thousands of words on that topic (as part of the Chuck won meta) lmao
But! But
For you, I will try to address this specific bit here anyway. No idea if I'll do justice to the topic divorced from discussion of the wider frameworks but whatever.
Was Dean a bad parent to Jack? Depends on when/what you're talking about. It's complicated. Was Dean a bad parent in the end, when it counted most? Yes, but here's the thing: that's not an indictment of Dean, or something to cite as a failure of his that happened in a vacuum. To see it as such is to miss the big picture, and the big picture is the reason for it.
He is a man pushed and molded and manipulated and strong-armed into emulating his father, for the sake of a story. Over the course of years, he resists it repeatedly, including in relation to Jack; in particular, he drops the gun in "Moriah"; and then, he's forced into metaphorically picking the gun back up again when his very freedom and thus his sense of self is thrown into question.
The entire thing is a test, and it keeps happening. It's a spiral. It's about the tension of Dean always, his entire life, avoiding becoming John... which, unbeknownst to him, is the very thing Chuck needed and wanted him be, and so he pushes him into it by design.
Take a look at some big instances:
S13's grief arc is a parallel to the original Winchester family drama: Your child is cursed, and he is the reason the love of your life is dead. John loses Mary indirectly because of Sam, and becomes a shell from grief, and a horrible father as a result. Dean loses Cas because of Jack–and loses Mary, to drive the layers home–and becomes a shell from grief. What resets these events is that Cas returns, allowing Dean to become a true parent to Jack. He's able to tell Jack he's not a monster. They become a family... but that family is fractured because the origins of this intergenerational trauma cycle–Lucifer and Michael–coming back into play. (That's a whole thing of its own, but it relates to this topic.)
End of S14: Your child is cursed, partially because he sacrificed himself to save you, having (unfortunately) learned from your example. Sacrifices and deals are never without cost, and this is the result. You lose your mother again. Metaphorically, you lose the love of your life, who you blame for this happening because he kept secrets from you (as Mary kept secrets from John). Your kid's a threat to you and everyone you love, and a threat to the whole world... and still, at the very last moment, even with God in his ear, Dean doesn't kill him. Still, Dean resists becoming the worst parts of his father. Witnessing this, Chuck is in disbelief.
What changes after this is the amount of pressure placed on Dean, and the type of pressure, and it's by design.
Dean's suddenly realizes he's been trapped his entire life, and everything he's ever experienced or ascribed to himself has been called into question. For the first time in years, he's spiraling backwards, regressing and wondering who he even is. He is certain of nothing. The identity he's built for himself, that he's FOUGHT to form, that diverges from John in the most important ways, is no longer something he can fall back on. Because he's learned of Chuck's control, he loses the very thing that helped him defy that control in the ways that counted most: he loses the certainty in his personhood. Cas tells him, "What about all of this is real? We are," but Dean isn't ready to hear it yet. He's lost himself.
Season 15 is the struggle of him trying to regain his sense of self, after having had it ripped away. That struggle is what holds him back, and also the fear of never regaining himself fully is what keeps him holding Jack at arm's length. He does not yet realize that he is and has everything inside himself he needs, because he can simply refuse to play Chuck's games.
Notice this, too: by halfway through the season, Dean's re-centering himself. He rediscovers core parts of his personality and identity in 15x07. He regains hope in 15x08, and though Sam loses his in the next episode, Dean fixes his relationship with Cas and is open and honest. He's on the path to healing and purpose. And then, immediately afterwards, this healing is halted through cosmic machinations, and his son is dangled in front of his face as a weapon as he's told that's the sole key to his freedom.
It becomes a lifeline. He cannot let Jack back into his heart–he cannot forgive him again, he cannot allow himself to tell him he's not a monster again, though he's done it before–because if he does that here, now he'll still be wondering... Who am I? Will I ever truly be free?
If you feel like an empty shell, how can you parent a child? If you don't know who you are, how do you know what part is real and what part is controlled by someone else?
Simultaneously... Jack, his son, is a Winchester: he seeks his father's approval. He decides to take on the burdens of his parents again. He feels he has no choice. He needs to be told that that isn't his job, which is the only way to break this cycle. But Dean, unmoored from his sense of self, is unequipped right now to teach him that.
It just gets worse as Chuck tightens the noose. But when Dean's at the very edge, spiraling out of control, the most desperate he's ever been... his family brings him back from it. Sam reminds of who he is, when Dean's so unmoored he has him at gunpoint. Cas gives him an immeasurable gift in his confession speech, telling him "this is who you are, and who you are is made of love." Dean then loses Cas and is devastated by grief again, but it's a grief filled with so much love that he can look at Chuck and tell him with confidence "that's not who I am." He's re-centered. He can think clearly. He is made of love; he can live as such.
But the problem, and the ultimate tragedy? It's too late for Jack. From the moment Jack absorbs Adam's rib in 15x17 to complete the ritual, the wheels of his death are set in motion.
He's been sacrificed, according to Chuck's framework and plans.
Dean thinks they win, and in the end, he just wants his son to come home. But Jack's already gone. And it's a loss in every sense.
You cannot divorce the way this narrative goes from the fact that Chuck's frameworks and machinations are the reasons Dean loses his sense of self. And Dean losing himself is the reason he is not able to be that good parent just in time for one last victory.
And Chuck's frameworks are also the network's frameworks... art imitates life, and life imitates art... etc. etc. wait for the meta lmfao
TL;DR:
Was Dean a bad parent in the end? Sure. But the tragedy is he was forced into it, in all ways, because he wasn't given the space to be or allowed to be anything else.

question of the day
am i experiencing a symptom of anxiety? adhd? a horrid combination of the two? neither??
#I’m leaning toward it being adhd#Anyways wanna hear something fucked up#Imagine this#Your nine year old child is having severe anxiety issues bad enough that she has almost daily panic attacks and regularly passes out#You do a shit ton of medical work to get it figured out#Then you come to the discovery that your child likely inherited the family mental illness#You literally get told that your child has severe anxiety and there’s no telling if she’s gonna either 1. get worse. Or 2. Grow out of it#So because of various work problems and not being able to afford help for your daughter#You all end up forgetting about it for years on end#This becomes nothing more than seven and a half traumatic months in your child’s memory and she eventually forgets it ever happened#Until later when your child hits middle school#And everything comes back and she starts to hide her anxiety and when she starts showing issues related to the other family mental illness#Then your child gets to high school#and now your kid regularly experiences things that aren’t normal and doesn’t say anything about it because of their anxiety#And after conversations with relatives it’s obvious that they’ve inherited the family anxiety and adhd#And yet you still do nothing#jays venting again#Kinda#I feel bad for younger me. She didn’t deserve any of that shit

realizing things. etc etc
#i can be very critical of myself sometimes#because at 25 i still haven’t had half the experiences other people my age tend to have#and because my sense of self and my ability to care for myself are still so subpar.#but . uh. i spent my entire formative decade with my identity behavior persona being completely fucking split down the middle.#and my parents were actively Not Speaking and intentionally raising us in opposite environments for that ENTIRE TIME.#i never slept in the same bed for 3 consecutive days. for my ENTIRE adolescence.#how the fuck could i do ANY kind of development in that situation.#how was i supposed to coalesce into A Real Person when i was being alternated between the freezer and the frying pan 3-4 times a week.#[not saying growing up w two households divorced parents etc is inherently traumatizing but like. my situation absolutely was.#as i am realizing. right now.]#i couldn’t even begin reconciling myself as An Individual until i moved into my own place. which was. fall 2019.#and guess what happened 5 months later. [a global pandemic happened.]#IT KINDA MAKES A LOT OF SENSE THAT IM A STUNTED TEEN OF A 25YO.#AND I THINK. PROBABLY. THAT THIS IS FINE.#like. god. no wonder i struggle so much to maintain consistency . in literally every aspect of my life.#i absolutely never learned how to be a single continuous Person for more than 72 hours at a time. LMAO#izzy.txt

there’s something about Weiss that screams queer to me, but idk how to describe it
it’s probably the [clenches fist] repression.
or maybe also:
the way she expressed interest in one generically attractive and safe dude one time and when that didn’t work out she’d rather go to the dance alone than with any other guy (queer)
that the only person she’s ever been flustered over was a goddamn amazon of a woman, even if she tried and failed to disguise it as admiration (queer)
the way she dove headfirst after like two-ish months at beacon into being all-in on the found family that was her team (queer)
“i’m not perfect. yet.” and the intense need to be perfect in every controllable facet of her life as if to make up for some deeply ingrained failure that’s fundamental to who she is, y’know, kinda like this (queer)
the fact that she is clearly desperately starved for physical contact always and all she wants is to hug her people constantly (queer)
she’s just like. hands down the queerest character on the show. maybe not the gayest but definitely the queerest, in the queer-as-in-fuck-you, queer-as-in-i-love-you, queer-as-in-i-want-a-dyke-for-president way; the missed childhood living in fear, experiencing emotional milestones late, feeling what it is to have a family for the first time as a college-aged teenager way. like i say flippantly that i headcanon weiss exclusively as a lesbian but honestly i just headcanon weiss as deeply queer and almost any queer identity works for her because she’s just so heavily coded as specifically queer, intentionally or otherwise.
#Anonymous#queer as in fuck you#queer as in i love you#rwby#weiss schnee#best girl#weiss that's gay#everything about weiss is gay#weiss is your friend from college who went from prickly internalized homophobia#to staunch ally#to coming out#all within the first six months of being away from home and being able to breathe for the first time#and being around people who didn't feed into her parents' (father's) expectations#and once she had that opportunity to be honest and open with herself she did a full 180 from bitchy brat to full-on loving brat#like still snippy but in the i-love-you-and-support-your-bad-choices sort of way#her parents find out and whisk her home to try and force her back int othe closet#so she does the only reasonable thing and runs away from home with a half-formed plan of#/get back to my actual [queer] family/#literally EVERYTHING about weiss's story is queer#i say she's a lesbian but honestly i'm not kidding when say almost any queer identity can be made to work for her#because queerness is just so deeply encoded in her character
