a/n pt.2 : my vision was something very similar happened last year… like im imagining last year they tried to smash his face into the cake but someone moved it at the cake at the wrong time at his face hit the table instead ykwim
DECEMBER 14, 1:32 PM megumi doesn’t like birthdays.
not because he hates fun or celebrations, but because, in his mind, having a whole day dedicated to yourself feels unnecessary when there are millions of people born on the same day. what’s so special about it? it’s just another date on the calendar. he doesn’t get the hype, and frankly, he doesn’t care to.
and he’s not shy about saying so—even to you.
"you what?" you exclaim, coming to an abrupt halt. "who doesn’t like birthdays? it’s literally the day you were born! it’s supposed to be special!"
megumi lets out a long, tired sigh, rolling his eyes in your direction.
"it’s not special. at least not to me," he mutters. "and celebrating getting one year closer to dying? seems dumb. plus, they never go right. for me at least." his hands bury themselves in his pockets as he keeps walking, not sparing you a glance.
you quickly catch up, narrowing your eyes at him. "that’s the most depressing thing i’ve ever heard! birthdays are about celebrating life, not… getting morbid. you’re alive, you made it another year, and you deserve cake! lots of cake!"
he shrugs, barely reacting. "cake’s too sweet."
you scowl, a spark of playful annoyance lighting in your chest. you shove his shoulder lightly, earning a grunt as he stumbles a step.
"you’re so lame!"
"good to know." he mutters with a sigh.
DECEMBER 22, 4:19 PM "you’re officially banned from picking restaurants." megumi’s voice is flat as he unlocks his dorm room, both of you slipping off your shoes. "that tapioca was awful. undercooked."
you’ve been oddly quiet since leaving, lips pressed tight like you’re holding back laughter. megumi notices immediately, his eyes narrowing as he stops in the entryway.
"what’s so funny?" he deadpans, his gaze flicking to your face and then over his shoulder. it doesn’t take him long to put the pieces together.
he sighs, already defeated. "seriously?" he asks, just as nobara shoves yuji too hard in the kitchen.
it all happens in slow motion—the cake colliding with megumi’s face, the frosting sticking for a moment before it slides down in one messy lump. the room falls silent except for yuji’s grunt as nobara decks him on the back of the head.
megumi stands frozen, wiping frosting from his cheek with a scowl.
“…we should've listened to gojo-sensei when he said cupcakes were… the better option…” nobara mutters, inching backward cautiously.
maybe he was right—birthday parties never seem to work out for megumi. seems like a repeat of last year.
p.s. : a second birthday date made up for it.

#its like actively killing me getting mouthwashing on my for you page you are all so fucking stupid im actually losing my mind#and somehow people think hashtag yaoiheads are the blight of the fanbase and its like well ive seen maybe less than 10 yaoi people#and over 200 jackasses who earnestly think curly is a hashtag women respecter who hates jimmy#well the plot of the game is you Wish. you WISH curly hated jimmy.#mouthwashing#im putting this in the tags because i am begging people to block me to make my mouthwashing fan experience even a fraction less miserable

I love fandoms, especially witnessing what fans take away from source material and how fans interpret it based on their experiences. Not to mention the stark difference of interaction between new fans, casual fans, experienced fans, and long-term fans.
I say this because the SVSSS fandom has continuously fascinated me in insisting in discussions that there are parallels between Shen Jiu and Luo Binghe (tell don't show), but in their fanworks, I just see parallels between Luo Binghe and Yue Qingyuan (show don't tell).
And it's not even (fully) a case where they're blending character personalities because they want what the other dynamic has, it's just how the characters are based on canon in two different timelines.
All of this to say, perhaps original draft PIDW (NOT original!PIDW nor pre!SY PIDW which are completely different) was supposed to revolve around the dynamic between SJ and YQY vs SJ and LBH. Perhaps YQY was to be the last hour mastermind, the true foil to LBH.
And fandom is just circling this idea without realising it because, once again, the unreliable narrator that is SY has already convinced this fandom that any version of SJ has to be a/the villain, regardless if it's through his own actions or baseless rumours.
Warning, run-on sentence ahead.
I don't know, mans, but it's gotta mean something that LBH and YQY have such similar life beats of being orphaned and having a tough life but remaining kind/compassionate because they had someone to live for until they didn't which left them empty until they found (or refound in YQY's case) one (1) man to obsess over in an uncomfortably intrusive way with no regards for his feelings and rejections, eventually reaching a position as the most powerful being in existence with a huge caveat that their sword is 83% of that power and is slowly killing them which did nothing to soften said man of their obsession's into showing them kindness leading to the ultimate confrontation between the two in which only one could survive and keep their obsession, not that it mattered because neither of them got to experience his feelings reciprocated, except in another timeline where the same things are happening until their obsession suddenly stops rejecting their (still intrusive) advances even if he is acting a bit silly, but hey take advantage while you can and take advantage they did because now they have that reciprocated feeling (except one still "won" as he gets to keep him for himself) and be thankful that all it took was, in their perspective, a near death fever that drastically changed his personality and most likely left him crippled in some other way, preventing their obsession from not NOT needing them anymore, all-in-all fulfilling their desire to be relied upon again, hooray! 😋😁✌🏽
In all seriousness, at the end of the day people are going to draw connections between characters that fit whatever narrative they understood from the story. SVSSS fandom just seems to be trying to convince others of one narrative while believing on a deeper level of another narrative. It's amusing and makes following the fandom fun.
#the hippo speaks#shen qingqiu#shen jiu#luo binghe#mxtx svsss#svsss#svsss fandom#yue qingyuan#i am never going to get over that the fix it for the pidw!timeline proposed by svsss#was to put its titular character through traumatic brain injury that changed his personality and scrambled his memory#all so these two overly attached men could have their feelings returned#i know that's grossly simplifying it but sometimes you gotta do that#to understand the sheer horror of what actually occurred#sj: I hate men because they've ruined me to get what they want. i will never again give men what they want.#system: well that's not gonna fly buddy so we'll just replace you with someone who will give men what they want#also system: but the kicker is your replacement won't know he's giving them what they want because he doesn't understand your trauma 😁#system cont.: so it'll actually be super romantic and just a hint traumatising here and there for when he doesn't give in#system cont.: but thats ok because he's soft so he'll bre- ahem fall for one of these men soon enough#system: and then all will be saved 🥰 just like the replacement sqh accepting his man's abuse instead of fighting it teehee 😋#telling y'all the system is a reference to ill advised fans who think being stalked is a complimemt and being abused is protective#and being gaslit is just how people talk 🥲#the hippo tags

Drabble Prompt: Post-canon Levi, struggling with chronic pain and mourning his dead loved ones, being visited by his still alive loved ones
Anon, you knew how to talk pretty to me <3
hihi requests are still open btw
I feel like I gotta put a disclaimer or something lmao. So, the length of my drabble requests is usually something between 100-400 words. This request is just an incredibly unexpected exception. it just happened to fit into this idea I already had been thinking of, which was how the remaining 104th would ask Levi to be part of important events in their lives because well, they like the dude lmao, so expect that sort of one-shot soon. Additionally, since I kept reminding myself that this was supposed to be a drabble, I might have glossed over the chronic pain and mourning bits so I'm sorry about that ;;
that being said, 2.4k words of Levi and Gabi be upon ye <3
Now on Ao3!
The angry hissing of the kettle makes him flinch. It brings a loud ringing to his right ear. Instinctively, he places his right hand over it, and gives his ear a couple of gentle taps; it's more of a grounding gesture, a distraction from the buzzing. He usually keeps watch over the kettle, so that he can lower the heat just right before it gets a chance to scream at him.
He realises then that he must have spaced out while waiting. It’s alright, he thinks. It’s been like that a lot, recently. He’s been like that. Lost in thought-- lost in time, if he allowed himself to be precise. The last days, weeks even, as the temperatures started to drop, blended into each other. There’s a little calendar on his bedside table, it had been a birthday gift from Armin – or had that been Mikasa’s? He isn’t sure, he had received an absurd number of presents from the kids last year, it had been hard to keep track of who gave him what and now the fact escaped him. Turning the pages of the little calendar, with its delicate botanical illustrations on each day, quickly became part of his morning routine, and so he was sure that time was passing at all. The stillness of the routine, he guesses, made him like this.
His vision blurs momentarily while he scoops the tea leaves into the teapot. He squints, trying to will his good eye to focus, but all he gets in return is a throb in his right eye. After putting the tea canister away, he presses the inner sides of his wrists to both eyes, placing just enough pressure to relieve the discomfort. When he opens his eyes again, he is pleased to find he can read the small print on the canister an arm’s length away.
There’s a loud slam coming from the front of the house, followed by footsteps coming further into the house.
He quickly recognizes the heavy stomping as Gabi’s gait. She’s always been so loud.
Gabi crosses the arch into the small kitchen and dining area.
“Don’t slam my doors,” he says as a greeting, slowly turning his head to his left side, trying to catch a glimpse of her in his periphery.
“Aye, aye,” the kid waves her hand, shoots him a teasing grin, “someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.”
Levi hums in response but doesn’t say anything else. He busies himself with placing everything they need for their morning tea and coffee on a metal tray on the counter, which Gabi takes from him as soon as it’s ready and sets it on the table.
He grabs his cane from where he had hooked it on one of the kitchen drawers. He has been leaning against the counter, his right leg supporting most of his weight all this time. He braces himself for the sharp pain that will surely surge from his bad knee, through his left hip and up his spine. Cold mornings like this one and being still in one place for long will do that to him. It’s not so bad. It could be worse.
It takes 4 steps to get from the stove to his chair, which Gabi has already pulled out for him. It sits at an angle that allows him to easily slide down on it and rest his right elbow on top of the table, leaning back and against his good side.
“I have something that will cheer you up,” she holds a couple of envelopes in her hand and waves them at him, “You’ve got mail!”
He nods at her in acknowledgement but does not take his attention away from preparing his first batch of tea of the day. There’s a ritual to it, it almost feels like, and he doesn’t want to mess it up. Not when the ringing in his ear is still there, the building pressure in the upper back part of his eyeballs, and the cold air seeping into his bones through his thick jumper. Oh, how he needs a good cup of tea right now.
While Levi waits for it to steep, he grabs the papers that she had shoved in his face, squints his eyes at the first envelope and finds that he is unable to make out much of the handwriting. He brings it closer to his face, squints harder, steals a quick glance across the table and hopes Gabi isn’t paying him any mind, too preoccupied with choosing from the bag of pastries she brought with her. It is with an impassive expression that he hands the stack of envelopes back.
“Read it for me.” A beat and then he adds, a little reluctant: “Please.”
He knows Gabi prefers coffee in the mornings, and black tea in the evenings, so he makes sure to have a fresh brew of the former whenever he knows she’s coming over; so, with shaky hands, Levi gets to prepare her cup of coffee. While he enjoys the aroma of it, he remains faithful to tea; at first, he thought he didn’t like it because he had butchered his first attempts at brewing it. But even after Onyankopon had taught him how to do it properly and he had enjoyed his cup, it didn’t bring the same comfort as tea. It just never hit the spot.
She shoots him a mischievous grin, “Oh, you sure? What if I read something personal, hm?”
Levi just shakes his head, scoffing at the idea of Gabi finding his junk mail fascinating.
“Is this how I find out you have a secret lover you’re exchanging raunchy love letters with?” Gabi teases, wiggling her eyebrows at him.
He lets out a tired sigh and rolls his eyes, “just wanna be done with it, ” he stirs the milk into Gabi’s coffee, which now has turned into a cup of milk with coffee. “We have a lot to prepare for tonight.”
She clicks her tongue at him, but still rips the first envelope open, “Mr. Levi, your reading won’t improve if you keep doing that,” she jokingly scolds him.
Although Levi mentally recognises handing her and Falco stuff he couldn’t be bothered reading before, that’s not the case this time. He’ll let her think that for now, though, because he doesn’t want to mention the pressure building in the back of his bad eye, it’s not important and she, a kid, doesn’t need to know his newly found ailment of the week. He can see just fine around him right now. He can see Gabi’s big eyes and playful smile at the other side of the table, and that’s good enough; smaller details, he doesn’t feel he can do them, not without making himself go dizzy with a migraine.
Levi slides the cup of coffee to her and is pleased with himself when she approves of the colour of her drink.
“It’s from Armin,” she announces as she scans the letter.
From this angle, the soft morning light illuminating her face and thanks to his faulty vision, Gabi’s image stirs his memory. His heart faintly constricts as he is reminded of the many times Hange read their research reports to him during breakfast in the mess hall before presenting them to Erwin. Levi always wondered how they could read so fast, sometimes he even doubted they were actually reading at all, their words barely being able to catch up with her eyes; he never asked about it, maybe reading came easy to them as numbers did to him.
A high-pitched squeal from Gabi startles him, bringing him back to the here and now.
“Oh… ohh, Mr. Levi,” she starts, her smile widening by the second “This is good news!”
Gabi makes a show of clearing her throat and then starts reading “Dear Captain, I hope this letter finds you well and in good health.”
Levi can’t help but let a sardonic huff at the irony of the greetings but doesn’t let himself be bothered by it. He has written only a handful of personal letters throughout his life, and by now he knows it’s just something you’re supposed to say because jumping straight to the point isn’t acceptable, or so that’s what he had been told.
Gabi continues reading Armin’s words to him. For the most part, it’s a standard letter coming from him: he asks Levi how he’s dealing with the changing of the seasons, how Gabi and Falco are faring, if business at the tea shop has been good, if there’s anything Levi needs that he can’t get in town so that Armin or the others can get it for him. He tells him a little about the country he’s writing from, he even includes a photograph. Then, after the expected pleasantries, Gabi can barely hold her excitement and starts reading faster, trying so hard not to trip over her words.
“If I’m being sincere, we would prefer to ask you in person,” Gabi stops for a second to look up at him from the paper, gauging for a reaction and finding nothing, she continues.
Armin apologises for not being able to visit him before the holidays, Annie included, and so it is implied that he won’t be attending tonight’s reunion.
Sometime during the last five years, the Alliance brats had decided to make showing up at Levi’s doorstep together once a year a sort of custom; the first time it happened was during an early winter, a blizzard had stopped them from leaving Levi’s until the next morning. It had been a really nice evening despite the awful weather, Levi remembers, after everyone pitched in one way or another, they all shared a simple but hearty meal together. It was Connie who jokingly said they should do it every year. The following year, Onyankopon, Gabi and Falco joined them.
This year would be their fourth, and the first someone wouldn’t make it. That fact sits heavily in Levi’s chest, stealing the spotlight from his throbbing eye.
“...Annie and I have decided to get married. The both of us would like you to officiate our ceremony!” unable to contain her excitement, she tears her eyes away from the paper and looks at Levi. “Huh?! This is good news! What’s with the constipated face?!”
That doesn’t sound right. It figures that Annie and Armin would be the first to marry; in a way, he is happy for them, they clearly care for each other. No, that part is easy to understand. Their union is logical to anyone who knows the couple. What Levi can’t figure out is why they are asking him such a thing.
He clears his throat, assumes it’s been 3 minutes and his tea is ready to be poured and so he distracts himself with that.
When he doesn’t answer Gabi, she picks up where she left off.
He isn’t… well, he isn’t that close to either of them. He’s sure Annie must have other relatives that could step in his stead. Maybe a brother, a cousin. Even Jean or Reiner would be better options than Levi. He isn’t good with words or people like they are, he couldn’t possibly give them a speech about something foreign to him as it is that kind of love, that’s what people expect, right? His title of Captain is obsolete in this new world, so it can’t be that either. Hell, he has never been to a fucking wedding.
Just… why him?
As expected, Armin doesn’t really go into the details of their choice but does let Levi know they do not expect a fast answer and that they do not want him to feel pressured to accept it, despite how much it would mean to them if he did. Armin asks if there’s anything in particular that he would like for his birthday, as it is a month away, and closes the letter by saying he looks forward to seeing him and everyone then.
When the letter is closed and put back into its envelope, silence falls around them. For a moment the only sound that can be heard is the clinking of tableware as Levi places the teacup back on its saucer.
It bothers him, that he knows he will be letting Armin down by refusing something that any other well-adapted person would consider an honour. But the thought of embarrassing him and himself, because he gave an awkward, most likely insensitive, speech, mortifies him. No, he can’t put them and their guests through that. He will find a way to make it up to the couple, maybe he can… he doesn’t know yet, but he will come up with something.
As he finishes his first cup, Levi realises that at some point while he was lost in thought, the ringing in his ear has subsided and now it’s back to that muffled, cotton-in-ear sensation he’s used to and he doesn’t feel his eyeball pulsating anymore. Glancing at Gabi, he notices she is trying really hard not to say something, her brow furrowed as she takes a sip of her own drink, followed by a big bite of her pastry. Flakes stick to the corner of her mouth and for once it doesn’t disgust him. Instead, it makes his lips twitch as if going into a smile.
“I can help you... if you want,” she says eventually, sounding uncharacteristically careful and small of her.
Levi quirks an eyebrow “Help? with what?”
She shrugs, “How to… tell them you don’t want to,” she avoids looking at him for the first time, finding the flakes on her plate more interesting. She shrugs again and tilts her head to the side, a thin line of a smile appearing on her face. “...or prepare for the ceremony.”
Not unlike many times before, Gabi’s words render him speechless, if only for a moment. He spares his tea a glance and he thinks: it’s bold of her to be so upfront about offering her help to him, and had it been any other morning, one where he couldn’t think past the constant ache in his body, he would’ve chewed her head off for simply trying to help him because he himself doesn’t know how to accept that kindness.
This kid is trying her best and he can’t help but feel somewhat proud of that.
“You have shit on your face. Here,” he points to where the flakes would sit on his own face and picks his refilled teacup back up.
Gabi quickly wipes her mouth with the back of her hand, getting most of the flakes off. Levi gives her a thumbs-up with his free hand.
“I’ll think about it,” he finally concedes and tries to ignore the little happy dance she does in her seat.
This time, when the amber liquid touches his lips, it’s remarkably sweeter than before.

Okay, I’m-a rant because I’m mad.
TL;DR: The old lore was GenjixMercy, but the new lore designer has decided that continuity doesn’t matter and that grooming is actually okay because his friend’s ship gets to win, while aggressively attacking and blocking fans for the pushback on Twitter. This is after all of the other Overwatch backlash in which fans have said that at least the lore is still good/fun/interesting, now being catered to by someone who has Pharmercy fans as friends instead of continuing lore as-is.
I will start with: I am a queer lady who likes queer ships. HOWEVER. They are erasing the evidence of a straight ship with a queer ship, which would be FINE if it was a story thing, because stuff happens in life. However, the story and lore that is already established makes this ship not queer, but straight-up grooming.
Some lore, by Michael Chu (former Senior Designer of Lore for Overwatch)
So in Overwatch, there is a straight ship called Gency, or EmerGency, between Mercy, the medic, and Genji, the cybernetic ninja. It’s honestly very cute, as the story between them goes:
Genji, the second son of a mob boss, is embarassing the mob family, and is “killed” by his brother. In reality, he is stabbed within an inch of his life, and left to die. Overwatch, the multi-national team of heroes, finds Genji half-dead, and manages to save his life with experimental cybernetics implanted by the medic Mercy. He hates her, hates his implants, hates his life, wants to die.
But he’s also pretty pissed at his brother, so he joins Overwatch and begrudgingly begins to learn how to use his cybernetics to train and become a hero for good, to both get back at his Mafia family, and specifically to fight his brother again. During this, there is a lot of physical therapy (professional, not flirty) where they talk about a lot of things, including the state of the world at war, cybernetics, family, redemption... And it’s implied that they get a very trusting relationship out of everything.
However, Genji is still grappling with his identity as a mostly-cybernetic person, so he leaves Overwatch to go train with the omnic monks (that is, sentient robot monks, including another champion named Zenyatta) to come to terms with being half human and half omnic. During this, Mercy and Genji exchange letters, and in many voice interactions are either flirting, caring about each other (crying each other’s names if one of them dies in battle), or teasing each other. It’s all very above-board, very sweet, and heavily implied. There’s even two Valentine’s Day interactions, which other characters do not have. In fact, the only other character with an interaction (when this debuted in 2019) was Hanzo, Genji’s brother, chiding him for buying chocolates.
Cut to now. Michael Chu has left Overwatch and Blizzard, and now we have a new Senior Designer of Lore named Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie. Gavin (his name is long, forgive me) has been aggressively blocking everyone on Twitter who mentions Gency, which at this point is implied canon as far as interactions/comics/background goes, and aggressively promoting Pharmercy, which is Pharah and Mercy. It has been noted that this person is friends with an aggressive Twitter user ClearTogether, who has been noted for being toxic with fans of whatever isn’t her ship, and has explicitly been catering to them.
There is also evidence that this non-employee fan has been given lore and game updates that have yet to be released,
Now, the problem with this other than the weird fan thing, is that Mercy has known Pharah since she was a kid.
Everyone in this image is an adult with the exception of Pharah, the little girl.
Now, that’s fucking creepy. Mercy is like 20 in this photo, and Pharah is no older than ten. And while it has been like fifteen/twenty years since this photo was taken (evidenced by the fact that Reaper (the hooded guy) Ana (arms around Pharah) Soldier (Blonde guy next to Ana) Reinhardt (muscles) Torbjorn (beard) and Cassidy (cowboy hat) are old enough to be mostly gray, people ship Pharah with Mercy because A. They are good together in team comp, and B. Mercy ages slowly due to her healing tech.
But aging slowly is just biologically. She is still, canonically-in-human-age, much much older. She has many voice lines toward Pharah that comment on A. Working with her mother/how proud her mother is of her, and B. How much Pharah as grown since she was a little girl. Another controversy is, some of these voice lines are being taken out.
Now, I’m annoyed but if you want to read the full account on the hellsite that is Reddit, you can here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Overwatch/comments/15qq8yv/are_they_stopping_the_genii_mercy_ship/
I’ve done the research, but they have more, and it’s really creepy to see this being pushed as something sweet, especially since we know if Mercy was a dude, we’d all be crying foul. (Also Overwatch has plenty of canon queer characters *without grooming in them*! Soldier is queer and has a partner. Tracer, a younger hero, is a lesbian and her girlfriend Emily has shown up in comics. (She is not a hero, and neither is Soldier’s partner, so they are not shown.) Lifeweaver is a new champ that is written as an MLM (man loving man, not multi-level marketing, lol) so they are aware that representation is important. (You can still bitch about Overwatch dropping new representation whenever a new scandal comes up, because fuck Blizzard.)
....Honestly, the reddit will have more to say that I can, because I’m really just reporting what I’ve read there, and I know people will come at me which is annoying because I am JUST THE MESSENGER, but it is what it is.
Say what you want about Sega and Sonic Team with ships, at least they're not Blizzard.

Forgive me, forgive me. I ask, I beg, I pray, but it never comes.
You know I find it incredibly bewildering to see just how much kalki reflects myself in him like YEAH Duh of course he does, he’s my little guy it’s like his full time job. But at the same time he is a fully functional facet of my being and he is at the mercy of my whimsies, and whatever he discovers in his arduous journey of self realisation is ultimately a reflection of what I discover in the real world. It’s also incredibly funny because ffxiv lore for dark knights is really baked into the idea of (re)discovering yourself amongst the bloodshed and continuing to live and love and thrive despite the world working against us. who would have thought such a raw message could come from an mmorpg side quest about edgy emo boys of all places
also adamantite armour of fending i would lay down my LIFE for u
variant + phone bg version + ID below the cut
tch as if you guys are actually going to use artwork of my little guy as your phone background. i know. how dumb. let a girl dream. i should make an alternate version but it's of Fray and Myste
[START ID: A picture with a red background focusing on the character's bust that is placed to the left of the image's centre. He is coloured with a dark blue overlay, contrasting with the red background. He has brown skin, long black hair that falls over his shoulders, and is wearing blue and gold armour and earrings. He is looking at the viewer, right eye dark brown and the left an glowing unnatural red, with an expression that looks determined and angry and yet bitter and forlorn. In the foreground and on the right side of the piece, a miniature version of the character stands coloured in a light blue overlay and wearing the same blue and gold armour, looking as if he is glowing.

Under the cut are mostly self-insert doodles of decreasing quality. Again, not much directly tied to Team Fortress 2. Might as well toss these out while I have no access to my puter. Much yapping under the cut and in the tags incoming.
Another self-insert, this time less of a "here's me as a tenth class" and more of a "here's my game experiences translated into the class I would take the place of". The Cleaner. Although I guess they could still be wearing either suit. It doesn't matter that much.
That one Convict's Case taunt with Backup would be extremely funny, because the man would be on the verge of a breakdown (he does not want to go to jail so bad you have no idea). The second image- I owe no explanation. You know what I am. You see the pattern with my favourites.
The duality of the man. Resting face versus "just heard you express interest in religion/Russian folklore" face. He's not that hard to make friends with, when you pull him away from all the explosions.
Some doodles of trying to figure his face out. Unfortunately, the more I stare at him, the more I worry that he looks like A Certain Guy With The Last Name "Kazarin", and the fear of never being original in my life caught up to me.
Don't look at me, don't perceive me, I refuse to explain any of my actions to you.
#team fortress 2#tf2#that's it that's the only tags i am putting this in. maybe someday i will have the balls to do more but for now that's about it#while i have the chance - and since posts with more of my yapping in the tags don't pop in people's feeds much - i might as well ramble-#-about these guys here. self-inserts or not i'm projecting only half of my bullshit on each one of them. creativity 👍#backup is tall and pale and has sharp canines and more of a dull brown hair colour with tired grey eyes. no amount of babyface or soft-#-hands can really help a motherfucker when he's grimacing so much because he just Hates being around half the people on the team.#cleaner meanwhile is on the shorter side and has constantly flushed skin and brighter colours and whatnot. you can't see it because of the-#-mask most of the time but they do smile a lot more and have a more cheery disposition towards life and see the whole team as their friends!#backup transitioned fully (albeit not very legally lmao) and is scared shitless of not being seen as a man although the last time that ever-#-came up was years ago. he holds onto his last name as part of the heritage he loves and loathes at the same time - attached to his culture-#-and religion and bloodline while also resentful of his family and the regime he knows someone else on the team suffered under.#cleaner just kinda binds and calls it a day. he only does it to confuse the team because while he doesn't identify with being a girl he-#-loves the confused looks his epic gender reveal moment gets. they do not remember their family name or where they grew up or what even got-#-them to this kind of mental state. and he's chill with it he values the here and now way more than some dark edgy backstory.#backup despite trying to be an honest man is afraid of vulnerability as well. he stubbornly refuses to express love towards certain people-#-lest they feel disgusted and turn away. he's afraid of consequences afraid of losing the people he loves afraid of his ''interests'' being-#-what drives them away. it doesn't by the way and he just wasted time being a cold indecisive loser for several months lmao#cleaner wears a suit that hides all of them yes but they pretty much never lie. he is always his truest self and he can always just burn-#-people who don't like him enough to make it a problem. they are a lot more comfortable indulging in their interests - be they innocent-#-and juvenile or violent and dangerous. he is quite open with his affection and his fascinations that backup would rather keep secret.#i want to establish that these two can only exist in separate universes because they both have feelings towards the funny assistant lady-#-and the funny inventor guy (selfshipping for the winnn) and would fight over those two. cleaner would win by the way#it's also a really funny point of comparison. cleaner is objectively more fucked up than backup and still managed to be more normal about-#-their feelings and live as a healthier and happier person than that guy. comedic gold honestly#OKAY I'M DONE if you read up to here you get uhhh a cookie :-)

Saying it again, you can just not like things. You don't need to make posts and Twitter threads about why you don't like a specific ship. I don't like Lucilith because I've ruined Lilith for myself but you don't see me complaining about it. I don't like Charlastor either but you don't see me complaining about it.
This goes for everything, by the way, not just ships. I don't like how some people characterize Lucifer and Alastor (especially Alastor in regards to his asexuality, because I myself project how I experience being aroace onto him) but the only reason I'd complain about it is if someone either got their characterizations objectively wrong, or if someone was doing ragebait, and even then I only start complaining publicly if I'm having an impulsive day.
(Just for clarity's sake, at worst my Alastor analyses are me clarifying Alastor’s character to people who act like he's a black and white villain, which he isn't. I don't analyze Alastor to complain about mischaracterization, I analyze Alastor because media literacy is dead so I take it upon myself to clarify the nuances of Alastor as a character. Also hes just a really fun character to analyze)
Anyway my point is you're allowed to just not like something. You don't have to shit on people because you don't like something. This goes for everything, the block button exists for a reason. You can mute and blacklist tags and phrasea for a reason. Please use the block button and post filtering systems thank you
#hazbin hotel#thats one of the reasons i hate twitter so much. tagging etiquette SUCKS over there#this is born from someone on twitter complaining that charalastor is bad because alastor is manipulating charlie btw#on that subject if you really need to complain about something DONT PUT IT IN THE MAIN TAGS#basically if you dont like the content someone creates just block them#not that hard#anyway i might add to this tomorrow but for now. i am tired as fuck and need to get some sleep#like im genuinely struggling to stay awake so. off to bed i go

I need to think out loud - feel free to ignore
#I really want to quit the event for trans day of visibility#I just don't see what I can give to the conversation#and I haven't for a while now#there is already a person that does all the posters#when I did the budget it was all wrong#half the ideas I've come up with has been having big holes#and honestly I don't think that comfortable in the group#I feel like I am back at school or university being put in a group for a project that I cannot pull out of because it will affect my grade#or the rest of the group's performance#but there's no grades#there is a performance of sort being the event#and that could still be great#but I don't feel like I have the spoons or the experience for this#I am just smiling (barely) and nodding along#yet a part of me are also scared of dropping out now#there is not a lot of time left#and so it wouldn't be fair on the other people to ditch this last minute#but would it be more fair to let me just tag along not doing anything of value?#and I should probably decide soon since we are getting closer#it is this big dark cloud over my thought rn#I am trying to concentrate on my drawing challenge yet I don't have any joy in it#because all my thoughts go to this event#I don't know what to do#I really don't want to do this#but I did say yes#and I hate tapping out and be seen as untrustworthy as well#micahs thoughts

ai art is art. i don’t like ai. but it’s still art. lots of things are art. the real issue is how ai is being used maliciously by people.
#and people who draw aren’t wrong for feeling upset if someone who uses ai copy’s their artwork and repurposes it. it feels like shit!#this example is primarily for drawing of course but. you spend more time working on a piece than someone does inputting commands to get#the same result. it’s disheartening to know a piece you worked 12+ hours on was completed by someone else in 5 minutes.#like damn i wasted all my time. (you didn’t! but it can feel that way sometimes because we get discouraged)#it doesn’t mean that it’s correct.#people are allowed to be pissed off that it steals from human artists.#that ai art is being used over human created art in the industry. saying human art sounds dumb as fuck but that’s what it is lol#i don’t convey exactly what i mean properly i think— but it’s not black and white#it sort of reminds me of the musician turns out to be an asshole -> his music was never that good anyway. when it is!!#but he’s still an ass!!#in reference to people hating ai art and therefore it is not art etc etc#also holy shit that post has the whole tumblr experience huh. instead of discussing civilly it’s condescending and assholish from both sides#tumblr users (i am not immune) are insane and stupid sometimes. anyway#when the go touch grass meme is embarrassingly real.#would not put any of this into that post because i would probably get my tags ss’d then a whole essay on how i’m stupid and wrong ☝️

I should not be this chronically exhausted both physically and mentally at this age.
#today I have been put thru the ringer and I am not ok#I’m tired of everyone and their momma istg#I wanna cry but also have no right to cry#I’m venting now in the tags just ignore me please#but FUCK#when do I get a break with this shit show I call my life#have no money yet whenever I’m sad I spend my savings to make me feel better#I hate my job and wanna call out but also know I can’t because it’ll reflect my rent check#Cali is too expensive and health insurance is a joke#kinda wanna sell all my funkos now because I’m over my bad spending habits#wanna go to school but that costs money#kinda wanna get a one way plane ticket and not tell anyone#and then there’s my mom crying her heart out because of her pos husband who wants to say mean vile things to her#hearing your mom cry is not a good feeling

#only friends the series#actually I am a hater and will tag the show this time#because apparently boston is an abuser and the show is portraying the beginning of domestic violence#well aware that this is an extreme opinion but surprisingly a lot of people believe that top had no choice but to sleep with him#and that he violated nick#first time I blocked someone over an opinion over a stupid TV show#but I have to admit it did get me heated#so I'm putting Boston away until people can be bothered to remember the scenes he was shown to have emotional reactions in and maybe analys#e what that might mean#feel free to still hate this bitchy man afterwards but at least I can be certain we're watching the same show

Sometimes a joke is for you and you alone
Id under the cut
A sprite trace of ace attorney characters dressed in outfits of characters from the 23rd season of classic Doctor who. On a background of the 6th doctors tardis interior
From left to right is
Maya Fey as Peri brown
Phoenix Wright as the 6th doctor
Athena Cykes as Mel Bush
Miles Edgeworth as the valeyard
Kristoph Gavin as the Master
#ace attorney#miles edgeworth#phoenix wright#athena cykes#Kristoph gavin#maya fey#what matters is that i think im funny#things to note. er trying to get outfit refs from grainy still images of low buget 80 television shows in very difficult#especially when they're in all black.#i think the valeyard actually wears panta but its unclear and that seems stupid so he has proper robes here#i got half the masters outfit ref from a fucking action figure because the in show images were rough#kristoph gets to be the master over miles because the valeyard needs to be a procecutor and master x doctor is way more toxic than nmts#and i am saying that about like my two otps#krisnix has like a more similar mortal enemies but gay about it dynamic but i think theyre way more toxic#which is funny because Kristoph has done comparatively way less murder#mel was going to be ema or trucy but thinking about it athena fits her way to well. red headed fitness buff that the fans hate#also tracing Phoenix outfit to make it the 6's easy as hell. loved that. putting the pattening on? actual hell#it may be messy at points but im not cleaning it up for something with a venn diagram of interest with only me in the centre#i always get scared to tag stuff as classic who because like theres so much history and i feel like a fake fan.#posting cringe in the AA tags is so unscary to me now. its just my little encosure#6th doctor#classic who#fan art#colin baker#oh in case the joke goes over anyones heads the outfits are from the dw season thats a courtroom drama. its not well liked#also lets not think about the metaphysical consequences of miles being the valeyard. hes just the main prosecutor#and also i wanted to dress my blorbo in the stupidest outfit#this was fun thoigh. maybe ill do this for other dw characters and aa ones just without any pretense or context#just for fun

There's nothing wrong with people having their dearest most specialest blorbo be Eric ztd it is unironically good for the ecosystem and I always love seeing the different perspectives from other fans but what I am here today to ask is why is no one like that about Mira. whatever happened to feminism.
#every categorically insane man in this series has their dedicated fans and every popular character also has a bunch of red flags so like#to be fair no one's too crazy about Lotus or Alice either hm like people either outright dislike them conceptually because of their designs#or you know just have an appreciation for them as characters but not quite focusing on them much at all#like me#and like are the tropes that make up her character problematic? yeah! that didn't stop y'all from liking Saito a whole lot#now he's better woven into the narrative of the game he's in but then my point's back to Eric lol#like it is just fucking ludicrous the amount of stuff in the whole Series not to mention the game Alone that she's responsible for#but it does feel disconnected (being responsible for the Kurashiki's parents deaths)#frustrating (being responsible for injecting Phi whith Rad-6)#and overall just kinda glossed over? (beheading Junpei and killing off D-Team that one time because she was in cahoots with Zero)#so like I get why people wouldn't like her she's a bad plot device but THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING#THAT'S NOT REALLY STOPPING ANYONE and it's not even like people are very vocal about hating her either#at most I've seen it be lumped in with some major complains about the game like as a whole#the way we find out so early she's a serial killer it's kinda shocking but not really? it ends up as just kinda ridiculous and underwhelming#imo that's the whole game but again even when it comes to people who Do Like this game#anyways free to reblog I Do wanna talk about this but I am absolutely Not putting this in the tag lmao could you imagine#like is the trope of having one big booba female character per game and for it to be a Defining Characteristic kinda not great? yeah#but also like shrug#we've let Uchikosh get away with worse

Getting drunk and posting on tumblr to create hilarious content sounds fun in theory but sometimes you just become a sad :(
#drunkposting#Wept the other day over Palestine#and now. now I can't shut that part of my brain off#I have thoughts rn that I can't tell you all about because they would raise alarm#also I hate myself because I didn't go to a protest I planned to because my stomach hurt like hell#took me too long to realize that it was because of anxiety#cops tear gassed me my first and last time and I am scared shitless#*grabbing myself by my own shoulders* It's not over till it's over its not over till its over its not over till its over#i had something else to say but I don't. remember#anyways this is less a post for u and more like. a way to get my thoughts out. and. calm down. sometimes u just gotta put em into words#and put em somewhere you'll se em again#i checkl my drunkposting tag on occasion
