I've seen takes on the Doctor being a hyperactive five-year-old unable to keep their focus on anything for too long or being too absorbed in something that captured their attention.
But I believe I have yet to see a take on River being a hyperactive five-year-old unable to keep her focus on anything for too long or being too absorbed in something that captured her attention.

What's a dream scene you would love to film/make content of?
I think it would be fun to film with someone else but 1. I'm too awkward for that and 2. I know if I did post something with someone I'd just get pestered about when I would be posting more content like that 😅
But if I'm talking stuff I could technically do, I really would love to just be more creative in general, have the space to store more outfits and time to do weird make up looks and things

with the year coming to a close, i hope that anyone who's reflecting about how the year went remembers to be kind and fair to themselves with how you evaluate the year as a whole.
i think there are definitely times when life throws things that are... Not So Great at you. whether if it's some external circumstance that surprised you, or maybe your mentality wasn't at it's best. i wish for anyone who's encountered those kinds of challenges to be able to triumph over them and be able to say that they got through it.
heck, it might still be a work in progress even though you've kept chipping away at it, and that's ok! the results will show themselves eventually as you work through it! and i hope that we can all remember to be patient with ourselves as we go through these processes (learning, healing, etc.), because damn, it can be frustrating when you feel like you're "not there yet."
knowing that life can be rough at times, i think it's unfair to yourself (and others) to discount and downplay any progress you've made this year- whether if it's something that you did for the first time, or maybe you came to a new understanding and insight that you didn't have in the previous year.
it's not to say that you should undermine the validity of your experience with hardship, but to take the time to remind yourself what makes life worth living. to recall what moments were the most satisfying to you- and use it to strengthen your resolve for the next year and beyond. no amount of hardship will ever take away from the fact that you deserve to have hope that things will get better.
i hope that looking back on the year, you don't leave out the things you cherish. that you can remember the good that came this year. whether if the small victories are things like meeting someone new, trying something out for the first time, or making some strides in a long-term project/obligation...!
i wish everyone a happy new year! may it be prosperous, and that your life can move in a direction that's close to what you want out of life. you're all going to do great! remember to congratulate yourself for what you did well! despite everything, you're still here, and that's wonderful. never forget that!
#lizzy speaks#hello everyone. i know that there are *checks calendar* still 20 days left of december and 2023#but i've had a lot of strong emotions and feelings i've had to sort through as i've been thinking about how 2023 went for me#so a lot of what i've written here comes from the perspective of someone in their early 20s#it's like... a crash and burn from when you were a teenager thinking that you know everything#and realizing how big the world is and how many responsibilities there are#all while a feeling of overwhelm looms over as you try to sift your way through the world and adjust your understanding of it#for me i've definitely had an underlying thought that 'you should have your shit together by now why aren't you there yet'#and it's! not motivating! at all! to think that way. and it's made me more than ever want to be a friend to myself. to extend a patient-#kind voice to myself that reminds me that others are also trying to navigate these feelings and to accept that i'm not going to have an-#instantaneous understanding of how one goes about adulthood. and neither will they. even if they look 'put together.'#like... these people have also undergone similar stresses and along the way figured out how to navigate through that space#and personally i've found peace in knowing that there are people who are older than me. trusting that they've dealt with these things too i#some shape or form and that them living... being here.. is proof that we shall be fine in the end and that we will move past what plagues-#our mind. there's definitely been some... anger i've had this year that. school didnt teach me these things or skills!! i was so mad lol#but hey if we are little guys who are living on planet earth for the first time we shouldn't condemn ourselves to an unrealistic standard-#of going through life and being able to instantly do everything 'correctly' and know how everything works#i'm still working on improving that patience... and also trying to put in the work to understand these things.#in the midst of a very tough week for me i was tempted to say that 'nothing happened this year it was not productive'#but then i was like. that's. objectively not true if you just look at other things. also theres worth in life outside of 'productivity'#...i think i passed 20 tags at this point. but like. my favorite thing about 2023 was meeting so many cool awesome people!#who would've known that funny lil squid game could bring so many connections and friendships i cherish!#thank you so much! for being a part of my life and changing me for the better! for giving me many fond memories!#and i'm very grateful to anyone who supported me and my art this year... for sticking around even though i wished i could do more#it means the world to me knowing that there's proof that i exist and have touched someone's life in a positive way! thank you! truly!#ANYWAY. happy early new year. i hope everyone can nourish a friend in their head that extends acceptance and patience to themselves#as we try and make sense of the world together. there will be things that we don't understand yet! but one day we will! and it'll be like#wow! look how far i came! i'm okay! i'm alive! yipee! thank you for reading this post i made to get my feelings out! have a nice day!

Sailor Merope!!!
#crazy coconuts#my art#dnd#eddie#we need more sailor gaurdians that aren't size 00#i looked more at cosplayers than offical art (although like every other one. very much directly referred to an image for the pose + outfit-#but this was never supposed to be an exercise in pose or clothing. it was intentionally easy bc it was for fun)#(fair warning. long explanation incoming. also very little actual sailor moon knowledge)#ANYWAY merope is actually just a snappy version of what Im trying to say#which is def something to do with the pleiades (the dnd campaign is very christian. the associated love of 7. its the 7 sisters. you get it)#the pleiades especially work bc they fulfil sailor moon's love of space + greek myths/things in general#although. upon looking at the actual naming conventions most of the greek ones seem to be villains?#theres also whatever the animamates are doing#buuuut villains or not the ambiguity does sorta work bc i dont fully think we're being all that morally good in our dnd campaign#the stars in the pleiades themselves are named after their associated greek sisters too#anyway. merope was only specifically chosen bc she is often the “lost sister” so to speak#aka the explanation for why we can only generally see 6 of the brightest stars with the naked eye anymore#(the astrological explanation is that those things move! theyre movin right now! the 7 sisters are just that old of a story)#the missing sister thing is funny to me with my girl who would generally rather hide away forever#buuutt she was also the wife of sisyphus. which i could honestly explain away or ignore but its enough of a Thing#that i could see the other sisters working as well#but this explanation alone has had me sifting through astronomy websites and sailor moon wikis for over an hour#so i need to stop before i start looking into places to watch sailor moon#WAIT before I go. I would be embarrassed to not amend my previous statement about the missing sister#sometimes its electra! because she is distraught by the destruction of troy#very well could work better. but its too late. i have written so much. we must live with merope. gods know sisyphus didnt :}c

some updates on my wet fish collection!
Tumblr media
so I was out of town for four weeks and aquarium maintenance was reduced to “feed and fertilize twice a week, top off water as needed” courtesy of a friend of mine. the lights and CO2 were already on a timer, and I lowered the light intensity before I left. I came back to a ton of plant growth, and also a lot of algae!
the interesting thing to me is what kinds of algae grew. there is a decent amount of purple-ish dust algae covering the rocks and the crypt, some green fuzzy algae on the moneywort that managed to grow up near the surface, a small amount of cyanobacteria that was easily removed by plucking a few leaves, and, as you can see from the fluorescent green mass in this photo, a TON of hair algae that grew in a huge, homogenous mass. but no green water algae, no staghorn algae, the glass was mostly clear, and no blackbeard algae.
overall, it was a surprisingly easy cleaning job! the hair algae mostly came out en masse, and there are still strands of it throughout the aquarium, but I expect that it will die down soon enough now that I’ve done a water change and dumped in some flourish excel.
most amusing is that my neon tetras are no longer morbidly obese. between that and the lack of staghorn algae (which I had previously struggled with), this was a wakeup call to me about overfeeding my fish. I’ve since moved her highness the betta fish to a desktop tank, so I’m hoping that I can adjust my feeding tactics to be able to feed both the neons and all the loaches without relying on overfeeding to ensure that food gets to the bottom of the tank.
here’s the post-maintenance look:
Tumblr media
I actually quite liked the jungle vibes before I cut all the plants back, but I think it made me realize that I actually really don’t enjoy the look of the rotala macranada (it’s the middle one of the taller plants remaining). the pink is inconsistent and ends up looking muddy, and it shoots out aerial roots like nothing else once it gets tall enough. I ripped out the ludwigia on the left side to replace it with ludwigia super red that I trimmed from my desktop tank, and I think I’m going to just rip out the rest of the rotala macranada later and fill the space in with more ludwigia super red and pogostemon erectus (which I ADORE).
once that’s done, I can let everything jungle out a bit more again. I enjoy the “so many plants you can’t see the back” look best!

With the changes in season 3 of strive, giovanna’s core gameplan was altered fairly significantly. Pretty much anyone who has played against her can see that she’s definitely stronger, but depending on who your sparring groups are, you might not have a very clear idea of what she can and can’t do this time around. 
The biggest knowledge gap I can see so far is around chave trovao, which is her new central oki tool. On block it gives gio high frame advantage and guard crush. This removes the ability to game strike/throw mixups by doing a delayed option, since unlike regular blocking, it doesn’t receive extra frames of throw protection after the animation ends. It also removes the option to yrc, and removes protection while buffering motion inputs. Due to the momentum it grants her, it will often eat fd and deflect shield too. On regular or counter hit, the move causes stagger, which gives her the option to pick up with a shorter combo or throw. In short it basically works the same way as garuda impact, except she can’t string consecutive Big Arrows together repeatedly. 
Because it’s that strong, most of her flowchart this patch focuses on getting to fire off a meaty chave trovao at every opportunity. There’s a lot of consistent setups for this, but if she can tell the opponent is playing passively, she will try to sneak them in constantly. And likewise, the baseline of season 3 gio counterplay is disrupting it as much as possible. 
I have some more detailed notes below the break, but the TL;DR is
if you block chave trovao when you have a reversal or after she ended a combo with sepultura, whatever happens next is your fault ☆
First, if you have a reversal on hand and she does the Big Arrow, use it. Gio’s safejump pressure still exists this patch, but the nerf to sepultura’s knockdown means that it’s less consistent and tends to leave her with much less useful spacing than before. And of course, unlike after chave trovao, you can fuzzy through most of her options here pretty cleanly. So make sure to represent your reversals when you’ve got them.
Next, you have to develop an intuition for whether Big Arrows are meaty or not. Because of its long wind-up time, chave trovao requires specific setups in order for it to come out in time to hit meaty. That said, the lab monsters have been going crazy with these, and there’s quite a few potential ways to route into it. 
Universally, combos that end in sepultura cannot set up Big Arrow. That means that her easy confirms off stray hits like dash 5k 6p 214k, hits she’s not prepared for in canned pressure strings, and fast punishes like 5k/2k 214k will not give her the frame advantage she needs to let one rip. If she tries it, you can 6p her or use whatever other tools you’d usually go with to dodge or counter regular trovaos in neutral. Note that trovao is throw immune while active, so you won’t be able to reversal grab her out of the fake ones.
Aside from that, throw and combos that end in 6H(3) will typically set up for an autotimed meaty Big Arrow. There’s also a slew of reset points she can use to set it up, and some are more consistent than others at varying levels of juggle decay. Off the top of my head, 6p, 5h, 2d can work like this.
The timing on a few of these is pretty tight, though, especially after throw. If you feel like gambling, you might be able to challenge her with 6p anyway. 
After throw, there’s a few other new options gio can gamble on besides going straight for Big Arrow. Empty chave throw or cs can vary timing against opponents who are waiting for trovao. The cs option here also recovers fast enough to be safe against wakeup gold burst. Chave sol poente is another noteworthy one- it’ll cross up and lead to a full combo if it hits, and the disjoint makes it a good option against various abare options. All of these are pretty niche though, since they lack the stability of guard crush.
The chave specials have some theoretical use in pressure, but for now it seems rather underdeveloped. Cs chave or cs 2h chave can be used as an rps point- chave dp will beat 3-frame buttons, and can be used to condition a path to chave trovao or sol poente. Chave dp can also be rced for a high/low the way regular dp can. That said, she can be grabbed out of chave with all of these, and fd makes the whole thing less consistent. 
Chave sepultura can also see some niche use; its added property is that it pushes gio really far backwards. The theoretical usage of this is to disengage from pressure safely against characters she has unusually bad rps against after regular sepultura, like bridget, whose 2s beats both backdash and 2k.

Because the snabies are such good hide and seek players I've decided once a week I'm going to locate them all to make sure they're all okay, and might as well also take a picture so I can record their growth over time. Here's picture one

Stay in the gym and [theorize about the game].
As two groups head out in different directions, you elect to stay with the select few who decided to remain in the gym.
... It really is a few. While most go further into the school, and a few go for the door, only four are left in the gym.
Tumblr media
"... My apologies. I do not believe anyone has introduced themselves to you. My name is Celestia Ludenberg."
... Well, Hina had introduced herself. But Hina also left to go investigate the door instead of learn about game theory (and thankfully not the youtube show). And nobody else really introduced themselves.
Tumblr media
"O-Oh, right. I'm Chihiro Fujisaki."
Chihiro anxiously sits on the floor with her legs crossed, as Celestia seats herself on the edge of the stage.
You sit down next to Chihiro and look expectantly at the blonde man in glasses, who remains standing.
Tumblr media
"... Well? Are you not going to introduce yourself?"
Tumblr media
"... My name is Byakuya Togami."
Tumblr media
"I don't believe we've heard your name."
Tumblr media
"I-I had asked, and they pulled out a gun..."
Tumblr media
"It does make them a little bit suspicious to me, but if they will not reveal their name, not much more can be done."
Tumblr media
"As for stopping the game..."
Tumblr media
"... I don't believe that'll be possible."
Tumblr media
"N-No, it has to be. We can figure out who was tasked to k-kill the rest of us, and-"
Tumblr media
"Regrettably, I must agree with Byakuya. If those chosen to be the minority are genuinely compelled to hunt us, bloodshed is inevitable."
Tumblr media
"Don't agree with me and then spout that nonsense."
Tumblr media
"It's because the premise is too rooted in fantasy, that I think we can avoid the killing. If the 'vampires' just come out and refuse to play the game, we can ignore it and find another way out together."
Tumblr media
"Unfortunately, that 'If' is doing too much lifting to bear."
Tumblr media
"I take it you've dropped the nonsense and are seeing the bigger picture?"
Tumblr media
"Always had been. The hunters would need to trust that a majority of us will value the lives of strangers over their own freedom. Given Monokuma's close-proximity explosion, it also stands that even if the vampirism isn't real, the threat of death certainly is."
Tumblr media
"I... I want to trust the others."
Tumblr media
"Are you confessing to being one of the killers?"
Tumblr media
"No, I'm not one of the vampires. I'd have told you if I was, though."
Tumblr media
"Although, your word is all we have to go on, correct? It is possible to lie."
Tumblr media
"Beneficial, actually. Deny being a killer, then create sympathy for them."
Well, despite your inability to physically speak, you are able to convey your ideas to the others clearly (because otherwise this story would go nowhere) through other means. And you've been going through a few ideas of your own.

so if some of y'all want to make a new year's resolution to start tagging stuff that you reblog*, please,, that'd be great thanks!!! ✌️💖
( *not just original posts, but reblogs too; and not just trigger warnings, but the content itself -- fandom, subject, etc. )

Come to think of it, Tony probably only ever uses fireworks that make little to no sound because fireworks that do make noise probably kinda resemble gunshots for him, which is something his PTSD from the attack in Afghanistan would not appreciate
Ngl I love the fireworks that make that little sizzle sound 😍🤏
But you do make a fair point! Though I’m also sure that any viewing of fireworks is at a distance anyway, and I assume it’s also an expected sound so maybe it wouldn’t be as bad? At least, that’s how my uncle was, but I know not everyone’s experiences are the same!
