What happened brutha'? Why you feelin' down?
I just got too into my own head. Thinkin about my worth and place in the world, it made me spiral. All I want in life to feel loved, to be wanted...
I'm so unbelievably lonely :)
(bigass vent in the tags, sorry)
#i know i have all my wonderful friends here online#and i love all of you dearly#but i can't exactly hold your hand#ya know?#I'm just so tired of being alone#but I'm also scared of being hurt again#or used#or abandoned#oh and not to mention all the fucking body image issues I've been having lately#it's mostly because of gender stuff#but i keep having terrible dreams about my weight#and I'm not all that insecure about my weight#it's just#this fat is on an afab body. it sits different#my silhouette is different#the world's image of me is cruel#and lately it's been really getting to me#I've had many a nights where i lay in bed crying#mourning a life i will never live#mourning a childhood I never got to have#i wish i was born a boy#why couldn't I have been born a boy?#why does everything hurt so much#vent#anyways. I'm going to bed.#goodnight! :)

hearing annabeth express genuine confusion at the existence of disney world was incredibly heartbreaking. but it raised a good point about just how unprepared she was for a life outside of camp. it makes me wonder how she settled into a public school environment after training as a child soldier for five years straight. i question what her first active shooter drill was like and if the teachers noticed how prepared she seemed for life or death situations in comparison to her english homework. i wonder how she socialized with kids her age, or if she mostly kept to herself because the anxiety of making a misstep in social situation and risk being neglected was near crippling. i think of the quiet moments at home during bedtime ruined by the slightest movement outside and her father finding her keeping watch outside her brothers' bedroom at three in the morning. how heartbreaking is it that annabeth can't find true solace in any environment she's in?
#i've been meaning to make this post for a while now but hadn't found the words until today#but the show brought up an amazing point of how little annabeth knows about being a person#her days were spent training to fight for her life and mourning the death of her loved#and never finding true comfort in the guardians in her life#then she has to return to a world that rejected her when she needed it most#and it will continue to be cruel and that's a fight she cannot win#and she knows it#i need a scene in season 2 where annabeth confides in percy during the boat ride about how hard it is to adjust to life outside of training#that she has no idea what it means to live your life instead of survive it#percy jackon and the olympians#pjo textposts#pjo tv#pjo headcanon#annabeth chase#annabeth angst#annabeth headcanon#if anyone hurts this girl i swear to gods

jenny holzer / saturniinne / sun bleached flies - ethel cain / orofeaiel / cecil castellucci / violetteforevernever / ojibwa / i know it's over - the smiths / tathève simonyan / stellernorth / robert bly
#oc alex#a.a.k.a no one is coming to save you. get over yourself.#yes this is a short web weave but like...... it couldve been sooo much longer theres so much i can use for him. so much i can say about him#he's terrified of death. he just wants to be at peace. he wants to live again. he's getting so tired. he just wants to go home.#theres no home left for him. he's mourning. he's so over it. he's alone in this world. he always was alone.#going missing and dying changed nothing. it changed everything. but only for a second.#and then life carried on without him. he will never get that time back. he misses it. he doesnt want to go back.#he needs company. he wants so desperately to be left alone. theres still hope. theres no hope left. Do You Understand.

"Every Mourn Watcher must deal with grief in their own way. "
#thinking about how lira's lived their whole life as a watcher and yet hasn't truly let go of his grief deep down... WHEW#voice of a person who's never gotten over anything ever: I'm completely fine and this won't bite me in the ass anytime soon#very good at sort of faking it till you make it but he's actually deeply afraid of loss#they're that one post where its like 'real sufferers know exactly what they have and that they're going to lose it!!'#it's alright though he gets better as the story progresses 😭i couldn't help but give my ocs the PTSD projection beam i fear#ibon oc: lira 'rook' ingellvar#rook ingellvar#mourn watch#dragon age#dragon age veilguard#datv#datv rook#artists on tumblr#ibon draws#id in alt text#don't mind the outrageous posting time working night shift has permanently altered my sleeping schedule i fear

actual footage of Maximus surrounded by the flames of my desire for him
#i was so excited to screencap this scene :D#i have multiple sets that i’ll be publishing and i am just#on the floor panting begging for some mercy from him honestly#there has NEVER been such a man#i simp for maximus at every stage of the movie but#general maximus is special#he’s so in control and in charge and strong and capable and competent#and authoritative and powerful and strong and courageous AAHHHHHH#i want him to take charge of me ifyouknowwhatimean#he’s so stunning in these shots#framed by the fires standing among the men he’s killed#mourning for the men he has lost#just taking a moment to realize that he’s survived again and he’s got so much work ahead of him still#but this is his last battle and he’s done now#ohhhh how i wish this had been his last battle#how i wish he had gone home and spent every day in the arms of his family#how i wish he could have brought life from the earth instead of being forced to take even more lives#he is so precious to me#so dear so wonderful so adored#i love him with all my soul#i wish i could be waiting for him in his tent#let him fall asleep in my lap while i stroke his hair and sing to him#I WANT TO LOVE HIM SOMEONE PLEASE LET ME LOVE THIS PERFECT AND PRECIOUS MAN#gladiator#maximus#maximus decimus meridius#gladiator 2000#russell crowe

I genuinely believe Naksu haunts the narrative. Her actions and existence as Naksu heavily impact the entire story. Her past, the life she lived and the shadow of it in Mudeok. But we don't actually know any of it because Naksu is not in the story.
Like. What she lost as Cho Yeong is something that we are never allowed to forget, the loss of her body, her powers, her freedom, and her impending death as a soul shifter hangs over Mudeok's head like guillotine.
All the while we don't actually know the Shadow Assassin Naksu, she died in the first episode, as soon as the story began. Other than training and killing (soul shifters) what kind of person was she when she didn't have to rely on another person else or hide or live as someone else? We don't know and we don't ever learn any of that.
Still, her absence is the plot, yet her former existence as Naksu influences everything; Yul's actions and what she was to him, Jang Uk's goal of returning her powers, the revelation of soul shifters to Park Jin, Jang Gang's departure, Jin Mu's accomplishments, the King's Star even.
Everything is about her existence but she doesn't actually exist at all anymore.
#before anyone disagrees she declares naksu dead in ep 5 or something and tell yul the person he knew no longer exists in ep 19#naksu is dead but the shadow of her hangs over everything#what could have been and what wasn't is mourned in nearly episode#alchemy of souls#also im not saying one life is better than the other but there is always this sense of loss in mudeok that is never forgotten by the story#SHE DESERVED TO LIVE AS HERSELF#Also for me its the tragedy of all of it that makes the show so good#like dont get me wrong im certifiably insane over the romance and would be very happy with the ending offered but even the then the best pa#*the happy ending offered in ep19#is that#she escaped the circle of tragedy shes been trapped in#and has so many people that she loves and cares for now and how those ppl care for her just as much#this post is brought to you by: my mutual and i finally finishing our rewatch

So, how was it to not exist?
mixed reviews
#Celebi#dusknoir#grovyle#future trio#pokemon doodles#original art#I wonder how ‘long’ they were gone#Like back in partner’s world how long did they live without hero?#I always thought maybe a couple of months?#But it would’ve been interesting if it was in the scale of years#imagine if partner had slowly gone ahead with their life and somewhat even accepted everything#Mourned the loss of hero/grovyle/everyone but learned to live with it#And then BOOM hero’s back like they were never gone#Also might’ve been fun to play as partner in the interim#Could’ve been a whole side plot

having swap au thoughts. *slaps roof of claus* there's so much mental illness in this guy. im gonna blow up everyone in the room and then myself
#what if you felt unbearable guilt because your brother went missing in the two seconds you were separated#and you feel like there mustve been Something you couldve done to prevent it#if only you had stuck together. if only you hadnt let him tag along on your basically-a-suicide-mission in the first place#but none of those things happened so you go through three years blaming yourself#continuing to search for him because maybe hes still out there. and maybe exhausting yourself on an aimless search is a way you can atone#and then you're pulled into this big destiny adventure so your searching is put on the back burner#you're so busy doing important things and meeting new friends and there are points in your adventure where your heart feels lighter#and maybe you open up just a little about the crushing guilt you feel. and your new friends say it wasnt your fault#maybe you start accepting that your brother is really gone but you have to keep living your life#saving your brother was a far out dream but saving the world is something you have the power to do#so you try your best. so you dont fuck up this time#your guilt becomes the fuel keeping you going#and then at the end of your journey#you find out one of the biggest obstacles on your journey#the human chimera that you felt kinda horrified at and a little bad for even as you fought them#is your brother you've been mourning and agonizing over not being able to save#so um. The Guilt is even worse now#now he doesnt just feel responsible for his death. he Now feels responsible for him becoming this Creature Thing under porkys control#and in a lucas dies scenario. hoogh i cant imagine how claus would feel after that.......#however the thing that spurred this post was thinking about the lucas lives postgame scenario (it just got a bit out of hand lol) so.#your brother is alive and back home again and youre so unbelievably glad#but the guilt still creeps up every time you see how much hes Changed. physically and mentally#you had just started to accept the fact youd have to live without your brother but somehow having him back is almost just as painful#things cant just go back to how they were before. youll never be the exact same happy family as you used to be#its strange adjusting to having lucas back and its strange trying not to step on each others toes with their trauma#you cant help but be clingy because you couldnt bear it if he disappeared again under your watch#but nobody wants to be watched all the time especially when youre recovering from your brainwashed identity as an army commander#FUCK I REACHED THE TAG LIMIT I WANTED TO RAMBLE MORE AUGH. THEY MAKE ME SO ILL. i swear its not all angst theres some lightheartedness in it#mother 3 swap au#mothfics

Being a human is literally like this weird combo of being okay and not okay that goes on forever except there is also death
#(i'm fine)#(personally) (mostly) (really)#this has just been an absolutely terrible year for our planet and its people and animals#and it's fucking insane that as an american living in relative safety and comfort and experiencing the pleasures and guilt of that...#...i can experience this horrible yet ENTIRELY SURVIVABLE blend of acute pain over so many things at once#including war and genocide and the utter hopelessness of that#and also things like being really really sad that matthew perry's life was so hard and he died#and also so many bad and weird things have happened to family members this year but we mostly have the resources to come together and deal#which is amazing and bolstering and exhausting#and my brain still has space to be excited about writing and numb to writing and angry/impotent about writing#desperate for feedback yet private and retreat-y and weird#always hoping to hit upon The Perfect Thing :-/#and i live in a place that basically is not a democracy any more and also the u.s. is so cursed we've never been what we said we were#so a lot of my own perceived safety is incredibly fragile#but still so much more solid than what the people i am mourning for had#and none of the comparisons make a lick of sense and are in and of themselves deeply unfair#to the point that it's humiliating to feel guilt (making it about me) and simultaneously humiliating that i don't feel guilt *constantly*#and i have therapy this week but also this deep sense that while my therapist will be a fine person to talk to it will feel unuseful#i've always been a muddle of optimism and pessimism and i am very adamant that life is super beautiful and this is precisely why...#...all the violence in the world is so brutally devastating#it's just that the casserole of all these thoughts feels increasingly horrible#and feeling that way is 100% sane#and even intersectional frameworks and intentional attempts at gentleness only get you so far in the grapple#for meaning and for ideas of what to do#so i end up contacting my reps about various awful things#and zooming in and out on my fixations and having excellent days and terrible days#often dependent on what feels like a camera setting i only partially control#and i'm sure i'm not alone in feeling embarrassed that deep empathy and grief for people i've not met somehow ends up being...#...at least a sliver about ME and my little world#about me

Kinda feral over all the sibling relationships in mdzs actually. jc and wwx's love-hate relationship, "being around you is traumatic but i cant believe you're gone, you're supposed to be the ghost but I'll do the haunting, looking for you everywhere", "i gave my most prized possession to you so that you'll become who you're meant to be", "my sword recognizes you as an owner because you are part of me and I'm part of you". nh being unwilling to follow a classical cultivator path but expertly setting the whole plot into motion and fooling everyone into underestimating him, a huge part of his motivation being his desire to kill the person who killed and is now puppeteering his brother. his final act of deception being punishment to both jg AND lx, because guess what, lx hugely enabled jg's actions against his brother and is to be punished as well in nh's eyes. jiang yanli being one of the very few people who even with her dying breath believed that wwx isn't bad and something else is up, urging him to stop what he's doing because it isn't like him. lwj and lx being eachothers' confidants and you just know they both protected eachother when the rest of their sect questioned and punished their love-driven acts, "brother i want to bring someone to gusu but they're unwilling", ah, my heart.
#mdzs#evelyn stuff#ive been thinking more about nie huaisang lately and how much he honestly snapped#how many years was this into motion#also also. fuck. if you consider that nie huaisang convinced ANOTHER illegitimate child of jin guangshan to kill themselves#in order to ressurect wwx#all in the name of killing another of jin guangshan's illegitimate children#the parallels are paralleling#and yeah i believe that nie huaisang 's motivation is partly 'i was supposed to just live my life'#'and you made me take up a position i never wanted. you ruined my life. you'll pay'#but he definitely mourned his brother and his revenge is definitely about him also

Urges to script out a small comic piece as a partial rewrite/reimagining sort for arc 2's epilogue, versus the fact that I will likely never actually finish it...
#I think the peacemaker resolution is actually incredibly interesting#like I know people say it ruined the morals of arc 2 and such but I think it's more fun to meet the narrative where it is like.#really asking the question what does this mean if there is never a chance for the dragon to be turned back?#is this just a type of murder? would people have reacted differently if they had killed darkstalker in a more straightforward manner?#the books like to treat a lot of the magic as a study of a character's relation to identity; e.i tourmaline choosing to become ruby again#because she IS ruby now. we don't get a POV for her so we don't know if she mourns losing her life as tourmaline#but she makes the choice because her life as ruby is much richer. ruby is a mother and tourmaline isn't ruby is queen and tourmaline isn't#I believe tui stated outright that to reverse the peacemaker enchantment would simply result in darkstalker dying altogether#so if there's no way for him to come back...#it's interesting !! it's even more interesting the idea of the after effects on the characters themselves#also I get to live in the reality in which they intend to tell Winter. because god I hate the epilogue for how it shafts him.#they'd tell him !!! they trust him !!! i know this I know them better than Tui did writing that epilogue !!!! believe me please god !!!!#anyway I specifically want to script out a conversation between Kinkajou and Qibli#I think they'd have interesting things to talk about on the matter

quick dreamsnso i can find them later
#eating pine branches at grandmas.#lived next door.#renting.#pine branches were really tasty and chewy like ... soupy tootsie rolls?#tried to sneak up on sister#while holding a plastic bag#found. she thought i was soemthing worse. also had been followed by crows for awhile#went back home. grandparents mom and uncles gave me 21 cents and advice on how to have a good birthday on the dime#played sonic the hedgehog with mom except ive never played sonic before in my life so it definitely wasnt that#more like animal crossing with an explore / battle mode?#and you could only pick from 3 characters#mom played with me. i was surprised.#. next dream#exploring a minecraft like world. big mansion#somehow end up in hell#i fall down and loose my exit. have to fight invisible ghasts and monsters until i can explore and find a way back#find a way back. no tools. hard to find resources to make a pickaxe in this mansion.#im with a bunch of people and mocked for not being able to find twigs#someone destroys a chair and hands me a bundle of twigs#i know the next step is to go punch a tree but all the trees growing here are pretty and i dont want to#later theres some ceremony. funeral maybe but with more religious undertones?#i have to wear a dress#and am handed heavy dangly earrings to wear#after i mourn and gather myself. some sort of special symbolism.#i take longer to mourn than the crowd of others would like#wearing the earrings themselves feels like tremendous grief to me. the weight of doing something I Am Not.#then they ask me to put on eyeshadow too#all of this in a very feminine way mind you#i tear tf out of there and flee#i run into more people in the hallway. somehow this place ends up being the church i grew up in
