#sill talks about stuff#sill reviews things#saw the cliffhanger for a long time so I wasn't too surprised when it actually happened#also I think I figured out why I'm not completely on board with the Kaz/Inej ship#I think its because of this trope of the dark evil dude tm who is closed up and doesn't trust care for anyone#now carrying for one person#but its romantic#like idk its the aromantic in me but I don't like how prominent the romantic aspect of it is#though to be fair Im just very nitpicky here#lbfad had a similar set up but I guess there dfqc also had some other people he cared about#(who weren't dead)#and Im sure Kaz goes through development tm in the second book so ehh I guess its alright#I think the second problem is that I don't care too much about Inej#she feels like a character I read a million times before I just don't have the strongest feelings about her#like I like her#but not too the extent I would like#And its not like Kaz doesn't represent an archetype I encountered many times#but he has the benefit of me actually liking that archetype plus him standing out in different areas#its all better than Wylan who was such a minor character he didn't even get his own Pov?#still love Matthias#and I didn't mention them yet but nina and jesper are cool as well#I know Im complaining a lot#I gave it 4/5 stars okay I did actually like it

merlin (immortal) giving arthur (pendragon) the only blade that could kill him
#they make me SICK#i hate them so much#if arthur had found out about his magic earlier and took it poorly…he’d be the only person able to kill him#merlin handing over the sword as a symbol of his utter trust in arthur#god imagine arthur finding out (au everyone lives) and being torn between wanting to cast the sword away but also wanting to keep it on him#he hates the weight of merlins life that now seems attached to the blade#he doesnt want it#but he cant cast it away bc what if someone gets their hands on it?? then merlins life is in their hands#he is BAFFLED that merlin would give HIM - uther pendragons son - the only thing that could kill him#he asks after days of fitful sleep and consideration and merlin is just like#‘its /you/ arthur.’ he says like its painfully obvious#NCJGSKSNSDIBSKSB TEYH MKAE ME VIOELTNT#bbc merlin#merlin emrys#arthur pendragon#excalibur#immortal merlin#merthur#im just thinking of percabeth when percy tells annabeth where his mortal point is and she is the ONLY person who knows#and she has to carry that tidbit of information around like its not the heaviest burden shes ever carried - more so than the sky#that one quote 'love is giving someone the power to destroy you but trusting them not to'#idk you get it#arthur and annabeth being the only people who can destroy the one they love#merlin and percy having unwavering trust and faith in their other half that they place their life in their hands#literally#sorry im done

Social transition being seen (by some) as this super easy thing that isn't as hard as real transitioning (medical) is bullshit. Be critical of the idea that there are some trans people who just "have it easy" because they are trans or because they are trans in ways you may not be.
Social transition is just as difficult, hard, and rewarding as medical transition. Maybe it is not as hard for some, sure, but that is not the same as thinking that social transition is inherently easier or lesser. If you're socially transitioning, your voice still matters.
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#ftm#mtf#nonbinary#not to mention that so many people DO want to medically transition but *can't*#so it can be even harder for some when they feel social transition is their only option when they don't want it to be#but social transition carries its own risks and challenges and again rewards#and i've seen this idea plenty where it's like 'oh you don't GET my struggles because you're SOCIALLY transitioning'#and while yes i am different than some trans people to say i'm struggling *more* if i'm the only one medically transitioning is??? huh????#i don't buy into this idea that social transition is never scary because you don't have the boot of the medical system on your back#(though non-med or pre-med transitioning people still face issues in medical settings so even THEN we aren't seperate)#like there's very few ways you can separate my issues as a medically-transitioning person and the issues of somebody who isn't...#...and by that i mean there's few ways you can separate our issues so that mine trumps theirs or that i'm seen as like... trans but More#does that make sense?#medical transitioning is important but that doesn't mean it is *more* important or that only *it* is important#you can support us who are medically transitioning without erasing the experiences and struggles of other trans people#and plus... so many of us who are medically transitioning NOW are the people who socially transitioned THEN#and dare i say i despised social transition more because of how hard it was? medical transition has been (more or less) easier...#...in that i can just *be* now

nothing (besides everyone ignoring Orym's deal) has made me angrier than watching Dorian keep up this facade. Dorian Storm has always been a type of mask he's worn. At first he called himself a liar because of it. The happy go lucky bard was a way of escaping for him. He was escaping Brontë so he created Dorian. He didn't believe he was Dorian. Until the Crown Keepers made Dorian real. And for a while, he really believed he was Dorian. That he has this new family and new life and he could be who he truly wanted to be.
And then his brother came back and made his problems Dorian's problems. Until he had to put Brontë back on. Because even if the Crown Keepers + Cyrus called him Dorian, he was Brontë. He had to be who his brother thought he was.
When Cyrus dies, the thread to Brontë had snapped. He was going to see Orym, back to the Bells Hells, back to Dorian Storm. But the foundation of Dorian had shattered. Dorian was created in order to run from his place in life, family, Cyrus. Now he was gone. The Crown Keepers had fallen apart. His friends fell through his fingers and he couldn't do anything to stop it. He was once ready to side with a betrayer god for these people and now they're in the wind.
So Dorian shows back up to Bells Hella and he's completely broken. The foundation of both of his lives has been thoroughly rocked. No brother. No Crown Keepers. The two things that forged Dorian Storm. He wears that mask so fucking well. Because he still wants to believe in it. He said it live on stage that he should "believe his own backstory". The one he made up. The one where he was a bard.
He wants to be Dorian so bad. He spends all his money on Orym, he spins the bottle so he can kiss his friends, he flirts, he blushes and giggles at compliments. Exactly how Dorian would, should.
But he wears the gold of the heir. He has a festering animosity inside his chest. He doesn't sleep. He's thinner than he was. He doesn't sleep. He sicks abominations after their creators. He talks to God's without an ounce of self preservation, daring them to strike him down. He does not acknowledge them as they taunt him.
The god of beauty and magic calls him beautiful and he does not smile.
#silver sending stones#cr spoilers#cr 3 e 107#dorian storm#got carried away in both the post and the tags again#this was supposed to be an add on from those tags yesterday#but i went off the fucking rails so hard im gonna have to make another post#and listen.#i know people are ✨ multifaceted ✨#but i think its interesting to peel apart the layers of dorian storm.#because i do think all of this is just dorian.#like the rest of us he would not be here if not for his family. his brother. the crown keepers. bells hella.#he is informed by the things that happened in the past. none of these identities could have happened on their own#but if we're looking at the arch as a whole#theres the bronte era. the dorian era. and then era where they got very muddy. and the era now.#i dont feel like he's suddenly a secret third person now#but you know how we all look at the past versions of ourselves and wonder how theyd feel about us now?#dorian just has names for them#and because there was a mixing of both his lives i think dorian is having a hard time reconciling into one#he tries very hard to be both himselves#the man contains multitudes for sure#and idk i just keep picturing him as a little bronte. and exu dorian is smiling and singing with him. he tells him all about their friends#and current dorian looking at them. afraid to approach. afraid theyll ask about their future. afraid to tell them.#but theyd probably figure it out. hes wearing gold after all.

bugthinker but I just did whatever to him
bonus slop
#clemart#this hardly qualifies as toontown anymore#toontown corporate clash#ttcc#prethinker#brian ttcc#sorry the text is really small again i got carried away with notes#i have like 3 doodles where i just do whatever to his build for fun. this is the only one ive posted#personally speaking i think doing a build that plays more into the nervous-system (brain) aspect would probably be a bit more fitting#i dont have any ideas on how to do that right now other than just making him wires. which im not opposed to.#i need to send him through horrific experiments and see what it turns him into#color placements could be better but i did this without any other references other than a real life centipede so oh well#looking at this after i finished i realized it looks like his body is clumped together... its supposed to be wrapped around each other#screw ym stupid baka life#i think i once saw someone mention centipede brian. if they are out there... this is partially inspired by that#the other inspiration is just that i think the idea of characters being able to wrap around themself is cool

As a child, Dick liked to tease Bruce by dropping his voice as low as it would go and mimicking the Batman voice.
As an adult, Dick stares at the tattered cowl clutched tight in hands crusted with his fathers blood and thinks of how much it used to hurt his throat.
Why does it always have to hurt with Bruce?
#implied context now made explicit: Bruce bleeds out in front of dick and dicks hands are bloody from trying to stop it with no supplies#in his last moments Bruce gives dick his cowl in an act dick interprets as Bruce passing on Batman to him#he doesn’t want it and hates that he feels like this#views it as Bruce’s final act of love and cruelty in their relationship#he does it anyway because no matter what has happened between them he’s always loved and been loyal to Bruce#Bruce meant it as a symbol of Batman being laid to rest with the one person he trusts to do it: his first Robin#the one person who truly knows its weight getting rid of it for good#a tattered mask taken away and given to dick in the same way dick gave his Nightwing suit to Bruce in Nightwing vol one#for safekeeping and out of love and remembrance#not a desire for it to be carried on#dick grayson#dc#nightwing#Batman#bruce Wayne#I make myself sick actually#angst#I’d be mad but I was the one that thought of it#dc comics

puppets can be considered arthropods
#exoskeleton....#they are Shelled creatures....#also invertebrates... there were puppets in the cambrian era i just know it...#personally i like to believe they're related to horseshoe crabs. or perhaps shrimp#hm. getting the mental image of a seafood restaurant#and the waiter brings out one of those fuckin. yk the dish with the metal dome on top#they put it down and lift the top - its a lovely steamed puppet with an entire pineapple in their mouth#and the diners dont use crab crackers - they use little craft scissors. the ones with the squiggle blades#theres still like. crab meat inside instead of stuffing. so. but the rest is puppet#no wait its puppet meat! what would puppet meat taste like... fluffy like stuffing.. a little sweet maybe.. sugar spice and everything nice#absolutely unprompted#be free my darling post! into the wild with naught but your own wings to carry you!#man. now i want crab. just a pile of huge crab legs to crack into and devour like a wild animal#while my cat stares at me with her gigantic imploring eyes#silently begging for a tidbit & drilling holes into my head all the while#normal things to pine for Yes?

how i thought cynonari was going to be vs how it actually is
#no bc i read the webtoon so i was fully expecting cyno to be this cold stern aloof researcher.. kind of like albedo#and then i was expecting tighnari to be one of his peers thats also at the akademiya#so i was thinking hey maybe it's like jeanluc or jean x kaeya where they went to the same academy and slowly became lovers#more than anything the initial vibe i was getting was xiaoaether simply bc tighnari seemed gentle and nurturing..#tighnari was the one that was constantly checking up seeing if cyno's okay and overall carrying the relationship#meanwhile cyno was a closed door and barely displayed any affection bur on the rare occasions that he did it was a moment of weakness#but it's obvious that they both care about each other very much even if cyno doesn't admit it#BUT THEN I SAW SOME DIALOGUE FROM SUMERU ARCHON QUEST AND I WAS LIKE???? IS THIS THE SAME PERSON???? IS THIS RLY CYNO?????#HES MAKING JOKES???? HES A GENERAL NOW???? HES EXTREMELY CLOSE WITH TIGHNARI LIKE THEYRE CANONICALLY BESTIES#THAT WAS BETTER THAN I COULDVE EVER DREAMED OF#and yes i know this community tends to dumb characters down to a single trait and it's annoying af but still.. cyno and his jokes bro#anyway that's all i love them#genshin impact#genshin impact art#genshin impact fanart#tighnari#tighnari genshin impact#tighnari genshin#cyno#cyno genshin impact#general mahamatra#cynonari#lotus draws

ive talked to a lot of ppl who have taken vyvanse now and i think ik a bit more on how i need to live on it
#1) dopamine drops on lower dosages or high dosage but in the evenings feel like hell and it wont ever stop you have to just breathe#you will stop breathing well and you wont notice it so you have to remember to breathe deeply. this helps immensely for some reason#2) you will stop processing the existence of food as a consumable thing and not just an object like Table or Cardboard. you will not want to#eat anything. you have to buy meal replacement shakes. sweetness is one of the only pleasant flavours. eat protein. eat as much protein as#you can. down those meal replacament shakes. get enough for a day. try not to into calorie deficits on vyvanse.#3) your mind will be searching for cognitively complex tasks and everything else dwarfs in comparison. dont lay down. do something.#4) you have to exercise. fully exercise at the gym not a home 20 min work out. you need to push your body right now so that you can be ok#5) nothing will be as intense and vivid and beautiful and there will be a layer of seperation between you snd reality even on a lower dosage#this is fine. this is the primary price. sunlight helps and so does doing complex tasks but you cant avoid this. remind yourself that this#is a self-induced thing and its temporary and itll fade.#6) youve been ship of theseus'd into a new person and this effect only increases later into the day. any conclusion you reach about yourself#is most likely not applicable to your non-vyvanse self.#7) carry chapstick around. keep drinking water. dry mouth starts 5 minutes after taking it#8) some of your friends have a reduced range of emotion and this makes them more stable but less capable of experiencing intense joys#and sadnesses. look at them. listen to their perspective. live like them when youre on the medication.#9) music is still gorgeous#10) you will feel very hot very fast. wear layers you can take off.#11) pick up a bow and shoot. keep shooting. keep going. shoot at least 50 arrows if you can. feel the pain in your arms and your shoulders#and then keep shooting.

I feel like anyone who's about to embark on attempting to type out a character's accent phoentically (at least as well as one can with English) should probably stop for a moment before they get going and ask themselves, "How would I, myself, feel about a fic where the one character who sounds like me had their speech written out like this and every other character just got their dialogue left in standard spelling?" I feel like a lot of people would tone it down a bit, at least, if they'd done that thought experiment first.
(Anyone who answered "but I don't have an accent!" isn't allowed to write out anyone else's accent, ever. This rule may seem harsh but you need it. Really, you do. Because you've never had anyone treat your accent as abnormal or comical or wrong, so you really don't know what you're inflicting on others here.)
#writing stuff#have you read that fic where the socially prestige accent is the one being carefully typed out “like it sounds”? no? neither have i :(#the obvious note-for-Americans on typing out UK accents is that most of them carry some connotation of class and/or 'education'#within the uk: ask yourself why a Geordie gets typed out but not some dude from the Home Counties#typing out an accent is - usually - a roundabout way of saying “this person talks WRONG! they're not NORMAL!”#you may also find 'Scottish Twitter' informative for the distinction between in-group and out-group 'transcriptions' of accent/dialect#(i use that example only cos I'm Scottish btw)#(oh yes EVERYONE thinks I have an accent! and many of them attempt to replicate it badly in text!)#fun story: one time i had to learn the [IPA] for a linguistics class and the examples were 'standard' English pronunciations#and I went in the next day BAFFLED by why the book insisted that 'boot' and 'foot' don't contain the same vowel sound#(cos they fuckin do don't they?!)#the tutor explained and was v interested in the fact that to me they're the same. i was then asked to demonstrate again for the class.#but i - alas - was not offered repeated examples of however the fuck people say boot and foot in RP :(#(this was IN SCOTLAND btw)#anyway mibbe jist dinnae dae it? mibbe?#and if you do you have use the actual IPA. there now i've made it more trouble than it's worth for most people.

The scene is pretty much the same but the wording to me is just so much more volatile. He's not even calling him a freak here, he's calling him a monster, which is something he has never called N before now, not in the games and not in the manga in any translation I've come across. It reads as so much more dehumanizing here and the way he says N is "biting the hand that feeds him" is so interesting to me. N is being disobedient by expressing his love for Ghetsis, that is what gets him marked as being unruly, going against the rules. This Ghetsis isn't just expressing his disdain for being N's father, he's expressing his disdain for N as a whole; N is "disgusting" to him. I prefer this translation rather than the official one just because it feels so much more emotionally charged, it feels so much more hate filled.
aurghghgh……….
#h…#see this one feels almost more genuine. as if ghetsis really felt betrayed by n turning on him#which i’m sure he was but like. in terms of inconvenience#this feels almost like ghetsis was personally wounded by n’s change of heart#like ‘i did everything for you i would’ve loved you but you rejected me’#like that he does at least have some kind of argument (obv not a good one a very manipulative one)#i mean like not in a deep real way but like in the sense that he’s trying to appeal to n’s sense of guilt even now. one last manipulation#whereas the original i feel more accurately carries the sense of pure heartlessness and detachment he has#like the original is just a pure outburst of disdain and entirely selfish rage and hate#like it’s just ghetsis absolutely losing his sanity much like at the end of the game version of the story. just losing control of himself#like this one would hurt n emotionally more for sure. but the original feels more like what i think ghetsis would actually say here#but i do like the ‘monster’ thing it’s a good touch#asks#colorful-bees#b2w2 pokespe liveblog

I saw you holding the gun. I was afraid that it might accidentally go off. I was afraid that you would get injured.
#never let me go#never let me go the series#nuengdiao kiattrakulmethee#palm pannakorn jannaloy#1x01#1x03#1x06#1x11#parallels#phuwin tangsakyuen#pond naravit#gifset#*#//#I honestly thought this set would be about 20 gifs long 😅#took me months to outline the final draft...#I called this project 2 Fears because it's about the two fears Palm mentions after disarming Nueng at the pool#the 1st is that “the gun might accidentally go off”. which can happen. but usually when the person carrying it is inexperieced.#he's afraid Nueng might make a mistake and injure someone he has no intention to (at that moment‚ Palm‚ or—even worse—himself)#which is linked to his 2nd fear: Nueng getting hurt#well. as his bodyguard (and later his friend/lover)‚ naturally that's one of Palm's primary concerns.#now. what I think is interesting here is#although these two fears can and do coexist#they inevitably clash with each other#because Palm wants Nueng to know how to use a gun—carefully and skillfully. because Nueng is being targeted‚ and he might need to.#but Palm doesn't want Nueng to need to#he doesn't want Nueng to be (or to put himself) in danger#it's his duty to keep him safe#Nueng should know how to defend himself‚ but if he actually does it himself‚ then Palm has failed at his job#because he's always supposed to be between Nueng and the danger

I will never make this because it would be for an audience of one (me) but ever since reading "If we Were Villains" (story about serious drama kids in college who perform shakespeare and deal with a murder) I have been entertaining the thought of a crack fic crossover with High School Musical The Musical The Series where the staff decides they will no longer put on shakespeare after the tragic accident that happened at Thanksgiving, because Shakespeare plays would only increase the tension and drama. So they hire Ms. Jen who decides their spring play will actually be High School Musical (which exists in the 90s in this universe) and it ruins the vibe so much that everyone gives up on being dark and mysterious because they're universally pissed at Ms Jen for making them learn choreoraphed basketball dancing.
#if we were villains is actually genuinely good and has actual literary worth and pulls from shakespeare in an intelligent meaningful way#but unfortunately all i can do is comedy so this is the only fan content i have to offer :(#THE THING IS iwwv is just hsmtmts if it hsmtmts was good and also they committed crimes#they utilize the same parallel of casting choices with real life drama which I love#umm so casting: Meredith would be Sharpay Obvi. I think it would be really funny if James was cast as Ryan bc they hate eachother and would#have to pretend to be siblings working together. And I think ashley tisdale and Lucas Gabreel actually didn't get along when filming#also i love the thought of Ms Jen looking at James and going “i know what you are”#HOWEVER it would be more interesting if james was Chad to Oliver's Troy (which is really just reversing their Romeo and Juliet moment)#bc chad is like nooo don't do theater... stick with me and do basketball... but it would be Coded Subtextually#Unfortunately Wren would be typecast as Gabriella and I don't think that would cause drama bc I don't believe James actually liked her!#I think it was comp het bc she was very sweet and nonthreatening as opposed to Meredith's big flirting energy so she would be a “safe” crus#lets lean into that actually. this gives Wren a chance to have a personality (bc I enjoy this book but it is not good at fleshing out women#So oliver and Wren spend more time together and kind of talk about James a little and Wren is like yeah James is very sweet#and I like him but it feels so hard to get him to feel comfortable with me... i guess he's just closed off and doesn't talk much#we also get to see more of her personality and interests maybe she's like I relate to gabriella because I also like to Read :) feminism#and oliver is like Hmm That Is Not My Experience With Him perhaps our bond is deeper and James does like me Hm#And then Meredith can flirt with him as Sharpay and James gets pissed and in character gets very intense about how Troy can't join THEATER#that's why he's upset and sad bc sharpay represents theater and only that reason and nothing else and he isn't in love with oliver At All#Alexander can be Ryan now since James is Chad (and he's also Gay) and Filippa can be Kenzie bc they're both queer coded#Anyway at rehearsal one day Meredith and James and Oliver are having their fighting over troy moment and then Meredith stops and is like#wait guys. This musical is so freaking stupid. why are we even doing this#and their mutual frustration at their art being turned into a farce is enough to bond them together and they're like#we need to focus on our REAL enemy: ms Jen#and then they hatch a scheme and it's probably like. They dump a bucket of fake blood on her at opening night a la carrie#and then put on their own rebellious production... it still has to be a musical because i like musicals#families with children are in the audience and they're like OK FOLKS! HERE'S ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!#if we were villains#iwwv#hsmtmts#high school musical the musical the series
