#need escapism and hope

There's a lot of talk about the "magical cure" trope in relation to disability and ableism, but imo when media goes too hard the other way.... i don't feel too good about it either. There's almost a feeling that we *shouldn't* have escapist, hopeful fantasies. Oh this fictional character got a magical cure? Nope, that's bad! Back to being a cripple. It's almost painted like a moral punishment. Idk. Halfbaked thoughts, but that gut feeling has been there.
#yes this is about arcane but not only#idk i think its time people recognize that some of us whose disability is unbearable#or significantly affects quality of life#need escapism and hope#i think in arcane its even more egregious bc of the attitude around viktor is that he 'should' die#like we shouldnt go against nature!!#thats bad!!! how dare you use experimental treatments on yourself!!!#like hes a grown man? it just feels. like a parallel to irl ableist attitudes

You can feel how you feel about this but do not give way for cynicism or hopelessness. That’s how the fascists win. You have to fight and you have to organize and you have to do everything you’re able to so Harris can win in November. The people of this country depend on that win and the entire world depends on it as well. If you are eligible to vote you need to vote blue and you need to tell everyone you know to vote blue. There is no other option that will not in calamity.
#i think this is the right decision and i’m glad he made it#i’m worried about a lot of things#but i’m not giving up hope#as a non american living in the us for now i can only tell you that if you think your small choice or action doesn’t matter#it does#trust me as someone from a country that is also slipping into authoritarianism but we probably escaped that by the skin of the teeth#you need hope and that hope will inspire action

You know what truly truly hurts me about this episode ? It's not just that she's dead, but it's the fact that she knew she was going to die. This 15 years old child realized that she had no vision about herself after the age of sixteen, so she drew the conclusion that she was probably going to die. She saw her sister living a beautiful life and she was happy about it. She didn't tell Wa anything because she knew it was useless to try and stop fate, and she didn't want to worry her for nothing. She tried everything to make her last day fantastic and she even had a vision on how she would die, but she lived through it, stayed happy. And then, this weird guy tried to strangle her and she had her vision about her birthday gift, and she felt all the weight lifting from her young shoulders, because now everything was going to go back to normal, and Wa would always always protect her, and she had her whole life in front of her.
But she was wrong, and she was not only murdered, but murdered brutally, alone, right before turning sixteen.
Not only did she have to mourn her own life for who knows how long, realizing that she would never be an adult, never see Wa becoming a lawyer, buying back their house, that she would never become an illustrator. Not only that immense pain that she carried alone, but the fact that in the sickest tragic irony, all this work she did on herself of acceptance got ripped away, and she let herself be relieved, and hope again (because she's such a positive person that hope would come back very easily and so strongly in her heart), only for it to be an illusion of just a few hours before meeting a terrible, unfair and cruel death.
WHY REVERSE 4 YOU ? WHY ? WHYYYYYYYYYY ?
#this show was supposed to be my fluff relief among those tragic gls#AND NOW THIS#YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO MAKE IT HURT SO MUCH#REVERSE 4 YOU#BRING HER BACK#WHYYYYYYY#It's so tragic#it's the greatest tragedy since I don't know which tragedy to cite#It's more tragic than the Trojan war#It's more tragic than Iphigenia#It's more tragic than all those greek tragedies main characters who were dead from the start#No hope#No chance of escaping fate#You can run but you can't escape#And accepting it will not make it easier#WHYYYYYYYY#I have big feelings about this okay#I just need a moment#reverse 4 you#reverse 4 you ep 6#four#wa#four x wa#jattawa

"Suddenly the world was gray and dull and my heart was so heavy I felt like I couldn’t move, let alone make it back to Treasure Town. But because of Echo’s last wish… I was able to keep living.”

#It's my baby girl!! My sweetiepie!! Sora the light of my life my bestest girlie#Her own character sheet to go along with Echo's since I had so much fun making that one and obvs Sora needed to be given as much love too#Sora learned Poison Jab as a riolu back when she was mistrustful towards Grovyle and wanted to thrash him around#nowadays she feels bad about knowing the move when her intentions for learning it were to get an upper hand against him in battle#but she also refuses to unlearn it and keeps it as a reminder that sometimes your own expectations about others are wrong in the end#plus the idea of someone as sweet as Sora knowing a poison-type move just makes me go crazy. did you expect a fairy type move or something?#Cause no. She'll literally stab you to death with literal poison because she can if you upset her or Echo.#And to anyone wondering about the large scar on her tail... yes it is literally a hand-print courtesy of Dusknoir#insert the universally traumatic “YOU TWO ARE COMING WITH ME” classic Dusknoir villain-arc moment#(he then proceeds to grab Sora by the tail and drag her into the dimensional portal but she struggles and he loses patience)#(so he unleashes a point blank will-o-wisp that causes so much pain she is too busy recoiling and screaming to make an escape)#Hey Dusknoir it was kinda f'ed up to permanently scar a kid like that ngl not your best decision I hope it doesn't haunt you forever#Echo still hates him for it and I'm not sure she'll ever let that particular event go even after they reconcile#also I gave Sora the ability Justified because of the implications that her partner is a dark-type and she also has darkrai-related trauma#the idea of her attack stat raising if Echo accidentally hits her with a move??? like Sora is so scared her stats literally go haywire#that's my idea of angst and it keeps me awake at night#sora/lucario#Team Wish my beloved...#pmd ocs#pmd eos#pmd2#explorers of sky#my art#click for better quality tumblr compressed it like garbage D:

Holy mother of Chilchuck and Marcille and marchil-
I don't wanna think about my father dyin' I don't wanna hear my mother cryin' I don't wanna look into the mirror tryin' not to lose my shit Flowin' like lava down the side of a mountain Man in the jungle lookin' for a fountain of youth But he knows that fountain won't appear... fear If it all ends tomorrow I had a blast It looked so beautiful And it hurt so bad What a real good time What a heartfelt world What a fucked up place Searchin' for knowledge Walkin' through fire Man in a garden filled with desire I know my name ain't written in your book... look If it all ends tomorrow I had a blast It looked so beautiful And it hurt so bad What a real good time What a heartfelt world What a fucked up place What a real good time What a heartfelt world What a fucked up place
It’s literally got everything it’s just marchil at the end my god. Death, fear of death & aging, resignation, cheery "whatever, as long as I had a good time!", looking at the world both with romantic glasses and harsh realistic cynicism.……….. The way the first verse can apply to both of them… I am deceased
#Spotify was playing random songs i heard that first lyric and immediately I was honed in#It’s got IT ALL LIKE ARE YOU KIDDING ME#Shoots straight up to my top marchil songs my god my fucking god oh my god#Marchil#chilchuck tims#marcille donato#music sharing#3rd verse gives dunlord marci oughhh insane how some verses are clearly chil and others marcille. AND IT’S A DUET#HE SINGS IT AND SHE CHIMES IN HERE AND THERE BC HER ARC IS DONE AND SHE’S RESIGNED#I’ll get out my marci n chil arc analysis by god. I need to draw marchil dancing asap my god#When I say marchil cracked the meaning of life 2 me this is what I mean btw. Wdym live in the moment and let in love and balance in outlook#First but assuredly not last time i shove that warg panel in everyone’s faces#Spoilers#dungeon meshi manga spoilers#Mini web weaving#it wasn’t meant to be but i kept adding pics#Hey what if you taught me about hope again and I taught you to not escape into fantasies…#What if you were too glass half-full and i was too glass half-empty… And together we could make a full glass……….#Dungeon meshi

gale's act 2 romance scene got me. i'm an absolute sucker for last nights alive and the desperate desire to escape to a reality where you have more time than you do.
it's a not like this moment, but like this is all you'll ever have, so you both play pretend that the beautiful thing between you is something you can keep.
loved it. very tasty.
#hits me the same way as characters making plans they know neither of them will live to see#a cocktail of regret + bitterness + missed opportunities you'll never get to take + anguish + defiance + hope + love even though it'll hurt#made for me. saturday tragedy-enjoyer sky#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#gale x tav#mayhew#bg3#sky does bg3#my art#mayhew absolutely said yes to the astral scene. they both needed to escape and play pretend for a while#there are a thousand different ways to view this scene but this read was particularly poignant to me#galehew

catch me looking up nightingale symbolisms for tales of the passerine. if danny's using the name of a songbird for a hero name, regardless of familial connections, i will utilize the symbolism tied to the bird. Anyways general gist of the nightingale symbolism i've seen, other than what wikipedia told me, is that nightingales were frequently symbolisms of spring renewal, loss/death, love, etc. catch me about to incorporate music into Danny's character
#dpxdc#danny fenton is not the ghost king#tales of the passerine au#musician danny ftw. as someone who loves music i am more than happy to make this boy a frequent singer. this au is still baby#i can squeeze singer/musician danny in pr easily.#some favorite lines i saw while looking for symbolisms is that nightingales in roman culture were associated with venus and were also said#to provide comfort in the hours of darkness. eh eh? i saw a summary that in chinese folklore they were seen as symbols of hope#it didn't specify which dynasty but it did say it was a famous tale. cite also mentioned that in John Keats' “Ode to a Nightingale”#the bird’s enchanting song transports the poet to a world of transcendent beauty providing a temporary escape from the suffering and imperm#anyways looks like nightingales in gist symbolize comfort in dark times among other things#while robins in gist symbolize renewal. celebration of life. good luck. rebirth.#nightingale's color scheme in my mind is very much a dark purple-blue and black. maybe some gray too.#he'll probably try and ditch the black and white just out of paranoia. argh i need to come up with a suit design nooooo. superhero suit#design is my weakkkest design skill. have to balance between practical and a unique silhouette thats in line with their character.#esp since danny's not using his ghost half to be nightingale -- way too risky. also not using his powers/using them very little.#maybe i can work in an ocarina batman reference lmaoo. i can lean into comic/cartoon realism and have fun with that. as a treat

thinking about how that solavellan ending actually Works for lavellans who want that hopeful ending but arent as forgiving abt the whole situation as veilguard presented it. and i do think in ashara's case, yes, she goes with him out of love, but more so out of duty. post trespasser she drops the name lavellan in favor of her family name, dhavise, since her place in the clan had already been cast into question and her allegiances with the chantry/solas are cause for doubt as to whether she's even welcome back anymore. but i think by the end of veilguard she's reaffirmed her identity as Lavellan no matter what, and truly does see herself as the Keeper of not just her own clan but of her whole modern people, and with that rekindled purpose she chooses to watch over them all by way of watching over fen'harel. protecting them by protecting him from himself. which ironically is the reason the dalish HAVE keepers in the first place
#oc: ashara#datv spoilers#datv#tay plays datv#sorry but we're doing solavellan tag essays again i fear#i am so :))))) abt lavellan's capacity to be for solas EXACTLY what varric was for rook in that prison#a guide. a reminder. an anchor. a hope.#started from the bottom (''fen'harel ma ghilana'') now we're here ("ar ghilana fen'harel'') !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#anyway the way i imagine the prison situation is that its exactly like any other place in the fade. changeable depending on emotion#and interpretation and point of view.#i think regret is so powerful as a prison lock bc anyone who believes themselves to be a god lacks the self awareness to even FEEL regret#so it WORKED for the evanuris. but it didnt work for rook because they arent a god and facing regret IS possible for them! and then like#the solas ending where he says “i am a GOD” Guarantees he cant escape bc hes PAST that point. the neutral ending leaves it open to anything#but the redemption ending is the one where he most clearly reaffirms that he is NOT a god and so the capacity for him to impact the walls#by facing its nature and by extension his OWN nature is... hopeful :) so i think its probably gonna look like it did in the game for a whil#but it will heal as he does :) im picturing a little house where everything seems a little bit brighter day by day#and when regret creeps back in and the fade reflects that then lavellan is there to fix it. and fix it again. and again and again if needed#until it finally DOES look like the way that end mural presented it. dare i say the black city goldened ...........

My hot take is that marcanne has as much potential for toxic yuri as any other calamity trio ship and it's not nearly as soft and fluffy as one may think
#amphibia#marcanne#anne boonchuy#marcy wu#in one hand: marcy kidnapped her. by giving her AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT something that was meant to benefit HER#(yes she didn't know it would work but the point is that she thought about herself first. even though it was her best friend's birthday)#she never wanted to come back. she wanted to keep her with her forever. she was happiest when they were together#most importantly she saw what she did as a good thing. as something good that she gave to her#yet still lied to her. After what happened with Sasha#she still lied to her. became another person to betray Anne#then she fucking died for her 😭😭😭#on the other hand. you have anne#she looked after her. she certainly loved her. but she didn't care much about the things that were important to marcy#nor did she care about her feelings or needs. she and sasha third-wheeled her for years#even though marcy came first#she could only really see her once sasha was gone#you have to remove her from the equation for both of them to flourish and connect#because the shadow of sasha's abuse oppressed them for so long. anne and marcy reuniting in S2 looked a lot like two people escaping#abuse together. healing together. coming into their own. becoming better people. they get to know themselves and each other much more deeply#now that they're free. only - they aren't free. they're constantly thinking about sasha. when sasha comes back they welcome her#they reproduced the toxic patterns she left of them#though i'll recognize that in anne's case she healed a lot more from sasha's toxicity than marcy#and you can see that in how her way of relation to marcy is a lot healthier than marcy's way of relating to anne#anne is now truly and genuinely connecting to her friend. marcy is still lying to her#pushing down her feelings. ignoring her own needs. pretending everything is okay. lying lying lying#anne was the only one who could escape but marcy couldn't quite move on yet. she couldn't be free#hope this makes sense i'm writing it at 4am i'll delete tomorrow if i realize it sounds dumb

EGG SUMMER CAMP: THE FINAL DAY...
It's finally the end of summer camp!
Er well, it's supposed to end today.
It seems like Not-Cucurucho doesn't plan on letting us go anytime soon, saying that summer camp is being extended indefinitely. It sounds like a good thing at first glance, but ever since those three campers went missing, pretty much every camper has been feeling on edge.
Unbeknownst to Cucurucho, it looks like some of the campers have started concocting escape plans...
So for your final prompt of this event: How does your egg escape the camp?
#Escape plans can be as weird as you want#get creative#btw your counselors will help you escape if need be. they may be scared of Cucurucho but they do care for their campers#(i can't see any qsmp workers be evil ever I'm sorry kkkkkk#not a poll#poll's egg summer camp#qsmp#qsmp eggs#I hope you all enjoyed this event. I'll see you tomorrow for the beginning of spooky season >:D#I also have such an exciting announcement next month you don't even KNOW

A little fanart sketch spread based on some of the scenes mainly chapter 2 of the one piece fanfic The inner mechanisms of the heart by Blizzard96.
I really like the concept of this fic and I’m really excited to see where it goes from here. I look forward to the somewhat comedic bits of little Sanji thinking his older brother Ichiji has kinda lost the plot or something.
#one piece#vinsmoke ichiji#one piece sanji#vinsmoke family#vinsmoke brothers#my art#digital doodles#digital sketch spread#doddles#He he in my own little mind it would be so cool if Ichiji join Sanji in his escape but I’m not the author do what whatever you want. :3👍#I need a scene in this fic where Sanji is freaking out as Ichiji drives him insane trying to figure out what makes Sanji different from him#Also I hope Ichiji gets to see his mummy real soon. Boy deserves the hugs and kisses from his dear mum. Honestly all of her children do.#Blizzard96 more like nowthatswhaticallpunk ha. Yes I am aware of who you are and thank you for the follow and reblogs of of my art mate. :3#germa 66#vinsmoke sanji
