I've lived in the balkans since I was born and I've never heard someone say anything positive about their dad

I love how Phil is the passenger princess in everything in their relationship, except dnp's finances, which he completely controls. Capital £ester knows one thing and one thing only: the bank.
#i said this#dnp#phan#baby girl who manages all your accounts#phil#phil lester#amazingphil#it kind of reminds me of my parents - my dad is a self -proclaimed financial genius. except he also has other skills#dan and Phil

I have never been more concerned for a JP update from your art than I am seeing a Cheka knowing the context of Leona’s dream.
My bois ok right?????? My sweet nephews ok right??????
well

I'm sure the real one is fine :)
#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 11 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 11 spoilers#unfortunately leona's ultimate happy dream did involve his entire family dying tragically. them's the breaks.#(for the record he is a little messed up about this) (he is a little messed up about a lot of stuff)#the context of cheka is that they were going to try to shock leona awake by having him show up#however while styx could provide them with a 3d model based on a bodyscan (which they had for...reasons??) they had no data on his behavior#so he was basically just a little frozen mannequin#(the sprite was not t-posing but in my heart this was happening)#ruggie could kind of pilot him with his magic but it only lasts for a few seconds so he had to keep recasting it with noticeable choppiness#so while we don't get the entire effect due to the limitations of the format#this means that leona was in the middle of let-them-eat-cake'ing a revolution when suddenly#his late nephew bursts jerkily in through the door yelling OJITAN I'M ALIVE AND MY VOICE CHANGED OFFSCREEN#honestly they spent more time thinking of how to explain ruggie's terrible impression of cheka than anything else#how could leona have seen through this brilliant plan so quickly 🤔#man i really did love his horrible dream though#i like him as a character but i wasn't expecting his dream to be the one that got to me like that#love how all the savana dreams were like#jack: what if leona was really cool and my friend :)#ruggie: what if my dad came back and leona created a socialist utopia for me :)#leona: what if i finally got the chance to prove myself except i screwed everything up and everyone hated me and my family was dead#his conversation with kifaji at the end 😭#kifaji in his dream in GENERAL acting as a counterpoint to his phantom like. like!!!!

I need to shoutout the Chance player who shot his flintlock at me (Telamon) because I walked up behind him and scared him apparently
#roblox forsaken#forsaken roblox#homicidalporkchops#c00lkidd#shedletsky#telamon#builderman#yes...finally... a dedicated post i can put stuff from the art dump in...#which means i am reuploading art........... damn#see i can tag forsaken all i want but i wont lie those last few builderman drawings are for my interpretation on him#of which i will hide in the tags where noone will find them#he's a dad. to me. in my heart. this man is phoning his buddies at 1am to tell them about the sick building idea he had.#his garage? a disaster. this man is like every artist manifesting new ideas#except unlike us he can find the willpower to put them to paper#hes a mandisaster#he would NOT say fuck#hes married to his work your honor#hes so friendly and open and has smile lines#no one on record has seen him frown. ever#glass half full? Wrong. Glass IS full.#this mans enthusiasm is infectious#on another note i like to think telamon functions like an alter ego. he's the “”serious“” mode:tm:#like you thought normal shedletsky was kind of a cocky bastard. WRONG#the smile is gone but his skill has gone nowhere#waaahh im yappingg im yappingg IM STOPPING NOW

Ok I know I'm heavily biased here but like I kinda love that Astarion's romance is one of the few in this type of video game where you basically end up canonically unmarried and childfree in his "good" ending? Just travelling the world??
Like it's honestly the millennial dream lmfaoo cannot believe i chose what would undoubtedly be my favorite option, first try
#also love that he's basically atheist like ok thanks you made the man exactly coded to be my type#and the humor and beautiful curly hair is very much something my IRL partner has too so like... how can i resist#anyways not sure a lot of people relate cause i think a lot of people want that fairytale romance#even tho wyll is right there yall#but i love me an unconventional or nontraditional one!!#i'm TIRED of being married with children as the endgame pls let's not do it#also a lot of people seem into him being a dad and im like... how? why? where in canon did he ever lmfao#more power to ya if you dig it but i just dont see it being in character#like in DAI i loved cullen and my inquisitor getting married and having a dog#and they seem the type to wants kids one day. but Tav & Astarion? lol no#i just think it's neat#is this a hot take? i have no idea but i don't see it mentioned a lot as a new fan tbh#pls do not come at me you can enjoy whatever you like#i haven't seen the ascended stuff so idk if being his 'consort' is like being his bride#but i feel like overall it's not and the vibe isn't all that different in this sense#except that you're hosting evil parties instead of travelling :/#Astarion#bg3 spoilers#baldur's gate 3#baldur's gate 3 spoilers#bg3#also YEA he's nice to Arabella but you can tolerate certain kids without wanting one or being 'good parent' material#case in point: me lmfao#OKAY update i saw the AA stuff and yeah you're kind of implied vamp married and he does mention spawn as children 😫#but he also says in banter he won't make any other spawn??? so what is it dude#anyway that's also clearly the “bad” route and he doesn't seem as happy as unascended#who feels “truly free”#and if you're durge I'm pretty sure its even worse to consider having kids?? lol#but i digress#pk plays bg3

Ever since I realized anyone who's made art I loved could turn out to be a monster I've tried to preemptively interrogate how many preconceptions and biases I've formed towards creators just because I've bonded with their work, and think about what I'd do if that axe fell on my own most beloved books and music and shows (I mean it already has on many of them. Millennials can't have shit). I've squared it with most of them but ngl, in the full knowledge that I didn't actually know the man from my left elbow, if Terry Pratchett turns out to be a shitwipe I'll probably just lay down and die. I'm the first to encourage engaging much more critically with his work than his insufferable fandom will ever do, but I cannot contemplate someone whose blistering rage against social injustice I can feel so keenly in my own blood could be a racist or a piece of shit like Gaiman. Maybe he'd have disappointed the fuck out of me by believing Gaiman until he became indefensible, because whiteness and man-ness and ego sometimes calcifies in people's twilight years and undermine all they were in their youth. But actually being party to, or knowing about and accepting of that kind of abuse, especially at the time of writing Good Omens, when the characters of Vimes and Granny Weatherwax were beginning to unfold in his imagination? I don't want to live in a world where that's possible. I can't.
I mean, if allegations like that did come to light I would believe the victims and shut the fuck up about my own turmoil until the dust settled. But I'd also just fucking give up on the world man.
#My own father left me disabled from trauma#I adopted Terry instead#I need him#please world don't take my real Dad from me#the very thought makes me wanna hurl#gaiman otoh is never the kind of guy i would have trusted#he's always been the kind of smug self-satisfied performative Male Feminist white liberal I detest the fuck out of on this site#also i was constantly gaslit about his Scientology connections and liberal Zionism#at this point I can sniff a Joss Whedon at ten yards#just like Whedon he's a brilliant writer and Im sure I would have loved his work if I had read any of it beyond Stardust and GO#but Im usually really good at appreciating the art with zero attachment to the artist#like they're 100% reflected in the work but that makes it all the more fascinating for me that monsters can make beautiful things#terry pratchett is the one exception#and leverage. i was attached to it for the same reason. i saw sam vimes in nate ford#i didn't care if the actors weren't that great as people but the way hutton turned out to be a whole rapist#my babygirl having been played by the kind of asshole he would personally killed 😭😭😭😭😭#what the absolute fuck is wrong with cis men#maybe we should just preemptively kill them once they make something good#neil gaiman#terry pratchett#parasocial relationships#knee of huss

Id really like if people stopped editing Eddie with the intro being his fight with Bobby where he basically tells him he thinks he is a murderer and should rot in hell (which is not true btw) just bc he got his little feelings hurt. Like boy that aint no savage moment its just straight up wrong
#the only time i wanted to punch him in his pretty boy face#like my man Bobby genuenly only done anything out of care for you and this is what he gets???#he was like an an angry teenager arguing with his dad for being grounded#except he was the evil kind of teen#anyways they made up so its ok#911 abc#bobby nash#eddie diaz#911 on abc#911 rant#edmundo diaz#robert nash#911 hiatus#118 firefam#911 fox#911

oshi no ko aqua is such a fun character bc by most counts he's a more than decent guy.
in his first life he regularly visited hospital inpatients who had no visitors. he was genuinely happy and excited to help Ai deliver her babies, because he wants her to be happy on her own terms. he saves Akane simply because he can, and gets angry at the staff on her behalf. he doesn't stop at saving her life and spends sleepless nights turning around her public image. at that point there was nothing in it for him to keep akane around, she was just a person he was able to help and wanted to help.
by most counts he's a pretty decent guy who steps up when people need him most, except. except he's also a guy who really wants to kill his dad and that makes him manipulate people somewhat often and this is somehow not entirely at odds with his instinct to help others
#oshi no ko#like he's a doctor i can rly respect yknow#except for the patricide thing#gorou said do no harm unless it's my dad#also the way that gorou regularly visit patients is something SARINA has to tell the audience and not gorou#bc to gorou is nothing worth mentioning#for quite a while i was like man gorou is kind of sleazy for only visiting sarina esp when she's so young and vulnerable#but he visits the others also... sarina was just the most special patient to him because she introduced him to ai and also#because she was a kid whose parents never showed up#also SPOILERS FOR LIKE CH90+ OR SMTHING BELOW#the way aqua doesnt let akane dirty her hands like ok aqua we get it you want the best for everyone who isnt your dad#wipes tear someone get him therapy hes a decent guy who's ruining his life#also the way he is conscious of how he's playing w akane's feelings and tries very hard to be honest with her and to do her right#like sigh okay aqua i GUESS i cant hate you#and that one ghosting kana arc where i wanted to beat him up and then he was like i dont want to drag kana into this & he looked terrified#like SIGH. OKAY. FINE AQUA i cant hate you after all#like apart from the patricide (which is big know) the biggest downside to his personality is how cold he is#he pushes ppl away all the time and is just borderline rude#but like idk i feel like thats a byproduct of his 'i plan to go to jail for patricide and dont want to drag others down' mindset#which is like... well. you can't hate him for that.. he's looking out for others in his own way

do i need to rewatch Arcane s1 to be properly oriented wrt Arcane s2?
i definitely did watch the first season but i am not sure i could tell you a single fact about it, which seems Suboptimal, but...,,,
#i vaguely remember the. sad science boy?#google is telling me that guy's name was Viktor. whatever he and Jayce had going on was good#and also there was the bad dad with the two adoptive daughters & i was kind of into the bad dad#there was also a cop chick? i think her arc was interesting? maybe?#god. for someone who professes to be an at-least-adequately-good amateur storyteller...#...my brain is like a fucking SIEVE when it comes to uh. remembering plots.#except for the plot of every single episode of The OC season 1 & 2#THAT shit is engraved on my heart. the rest of it? uhhhhh

So I always, always have my phone on me because I have various health issues that could make me end up on the floor so it's a safety thing for me, so I can always call for help. I'm not sure how common that is though?
This poll partially inspired by conversations with my grandma, who does not keep her phone or her Life Alert button thing with her but probably should
#the person behind the yarn#based partially on a conversation with my grandma#who does think it's kind of weird I always have my phone in reach#like. ALWAYS. my phone is ALWAYS in reach#the only exception is if I am in the same room as a family member and get up to like go get a snack or something#I might leave my phone on the couch while I do that but only if I am either in line of sight#or will definitely be heard if I fall#like. I have not fallen and not been able to reach a phone often?#just the one time but it was a memorable experience#well okay twice but one time I was in earshot of my dad#and another time I had a bad asthma attack and couldn't stand up to get my inhaler#but did have my phone in my pocket so I was able to call for help#so like. I ALWAYS have my phone charged and in my pocket

Everybody who writes & depicts Jacob as a villain or like some authoritarian monster who abuses everybody in his personal life should be REQUIRED to read this
#jk I get it’s a preference thing#but THIS is my Jacob#the kind of dad who says ‘don’t become me. surpass me’#and moves MOUNTAINS to make sure you CAN#yes. he values strength. but he’s also a collectivist who coined ‘family over duty’#and hangs the Kane motto ‘we stand TOGETHER’ on the wall#he’s intimidating. but Kate also laughs about ‘my father was furious’#she doesn’t look back on her childhood with fear#(except yk…the actual scary part)#I hate the cw show and the colony storyline with a passion#bc they butchered him so fucking bad#look at that smirk!#he’s so proud!#Jacob Kane#batwoman#Kate Kane#batwoman comics#dc comics#dc#batfam

WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT OI OI OI HOLD UP A SWEET FUCKING HOT POCKET SECOND. King’s father’s whole “oh Belos is just evil and has always been ig” shtick. Isn’t that logic the same as BELOS’S?!! That’s why he does everything? Cause he thinks witches and demons are the creations of Satan (or something like that ig who needs properly explained motivations in fiction anyway)? And that by their mere existences witches and demons cause misery and suffering? And that the only way humanity can be safe and freed from their potential influence is through all their collective deaths?!! DANA AND CO YOU HAVE TO BE SHITTING ME-
#I really hate the “this kind of behavior/ideology/ thinking pattern/ viewpoint is bad except when the good people have it”#it’s like the most centrist libertarian thing#i realized all this while rewatching portions of the episode#made me feel all pukey but my phobia of vomiting prevents me from getting sick#expect a reaction post for the finale soon#toh#toh salt#toh critical#emperor belos#philip wittebane#king's dad#noelle’s rants

I like the fact Tremaine's designated color is pink while Germaine's is maroon because if I draw them together it looks so bright and happy but they're in a dying world and both commit crimes many times a week just to survive. But hey, whatever.
If love is how they die, it beats starvation or injury! So letting them be codependent is like a treat almost.
#my characters#germaine and tremaine at least have each other (and kind of adopt motka as familial)#as mentioned prev with germaine who is the material wealth based layer guy#tremaine is the layer of lust and motka (who i keep mentioning) is the layer for gluttons#but while germaine is pretty much the embodiment OF being overly greedy and materialistic is incredibly rational#and while he hates it he knows when to cut a loss (item wise)#tremaine while the layer of lust and who does like the idea of having a fling has minimal desire for an actual romance#and based on the world they live in he knows its not really reasonable to expect a lot of intimacy and is mostly fine with it#but to cope with that lack of intimacy he is very touchy feely with the team including draping over his brothers back#or hugging motka whenever he wants despite germaine and motka being very much not fond of contact#to them its like ok fine tremaine is the exception but no one else can touch me#motka as the layer for gluttons is a bit different in that he is more uh.... the layer rather than the glutton#so he likes to cook and he likes to make others eat and he doesnt really eat much himself#hed rather make that someone elses joy especially since resources are hard to come by#so he acts like the group mom and germaine (as one of the oldest) is group dad and they're most of the reason why the group stays alive#also oddly enough to point out but germaine and tremaine are the only sibling layers while other layers DO have siblings#like the other oldest one has a younger sister and the team doctor guy has two younger siblings (twins)#and then the youngest member (limbo) has an older brother#so yeah i dont really know why the wellington brothers get to both be layers but theyre making it everyones problem#i really liked the cast for this plot but i dont really have much in terms of how i wanted the plot to go ?#so i dont draw them a whooooole lot but been thinking about these codependent brothers lately#and final note but motka used to have a younger sister but she died from illness which is why he is so lenient with tremaine#hes like i wish i still had a younger sibling so now you will be like my family if youd let me#and tremaine blissfully unaware for the longest time that THATS why motka is so lenient with the touching from him#its because hes more pleased by the Still Having a Sibling Aspect rather than pleased with tremaine

- Why was Ryouga the only one immune to the Trinoid's attack? - Ryo-chan doesn't hate anyone or anything!
#it's scary how many screenshots i have of him. i edited even more caps but decided these are already enough. he's definitely my favorite#imagine you're a 23 year old—young adult who lost all your family except for your niece#so you selflessly decide you will be her dad/guardian. but no one taught you how to take care of a child. you're not sure if you're doing#the right thing for her. oh no mai chan is influenced by a bad TV program. it must be your fault for spending too much time with your#abaranger obligations and not enough time taking care of her. you must be a terrible father for mai chan. but even you are struggling#you picked up so many odd jobs and niche talents growing up just to survive. for the two of you. the apartment you lived? gone#during the bakuryuu attack. so now you're living under someone's shelter. yet you never lose hope patience and kindness for others#that extends to even the evil doctor who always gets in your way because you believe in the goodness in everyone#HAKUA RYOGA I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH. i saw that poll asking if ryouga is the superior dilf. and while im not sure about the dilf part#no one surpasses ryouga for me! abared all the way!#hakua ryouga#伯亜凌駕#nishi koichiro#西興一朗#bakuryuu sentai abaranger#爆竜戦隊アバレンジャー

Man, seeing all the valentines day decorations in stores n shit is just reminding me how much I fucking Hate valentines day
#speculation nation#negative/#it was the last normal day my dad was alive. he went to the hospital in the early am hours of the 15th and died early on the 17th#he liked bringing the daily papers with him in his lunchbox to work. the very last one that we found tucked inside was for the 14th.#i had a valentines day date planned for the evening of the 16th. canceled of course.#i wasnt too fond of the holiday even before last year. as a grey aro that struggles with these things i find it too saccharine and stifling#but now all i can think about when i see those decorations is the fact that he mightve drunk himself into organ failure that night#the final straw on the camel's back. it all came crumbling down.#wonder if i can end up with a romantic partner that doesnt care about valentines day. it's kind of the expectation if ur dating someone#to care about it. but i dont wanna. id rather just plug my ears and wish it all away.#wake me up when september ends and all that business. except it's february for me.#sigh. i swear im doing okay with the Grief Recovery and all that shit. but it's gonna get rougher again as it draws closer.#an anniversary. as remarkable and horrible as the first year since your father died.#need to lay off trying to join any dating apps until after this. given how quickly i succeeded in finding someone with the first try#i dont wanna be seeing anyone by the time that date rolls around. itd make me sick to try to celebrate valentines day this year.#who knows maybe ill crack open a cold one in his honor. as a fun little joke.
