Finished Six of Crows.

#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

#one piece #portgas d ace #monkey d luffy #im not built for this bro #ace was born feeling like the world scorned him for existing and thinking he'd spend his whole life searching for purpose #but one day out of the blue guess who the universe sticks him next to?#the one person who would love him unconditionally for the rest of both their lives #i'll never shut up about ace dying in the arms of the person who loved him most #they basically spent their whole lives together you know??#they've shaped so much of themselves around each other #ace died knowing he carried luffy's love with him all his life #and now luffy will spend the rest of his life carrying the love ace left behind #it's so over bro #asl brothers #d brothers

The amount of jews I know who are planning on or are currently running private libraries is a non-zero number. Can't beat the well-read allegations for real 😭

#jumblr #personal thoughts tag #if i had a couple hundred more books this might be feasible for me #and also if i lived in a better place #i have (personally) NEVER heard of someone actually having a private library until i met jews #as in they run it out of their house and as a single person/family #in my ideal world i would have a private library and would host book-reading parties for the people who borrow from me #and i'd put out (obv kosher) snacks and tea/coffee/hot cocoa as we read #and we could have blankets and pillows and natural/soft artificial lighting #and as people stop reading we could discuss what we read. maybe we all read and study together though #at heart i know i would have becomes a teacher because i think i'm just imagining having a place to learn and study now LMAO #i would love to live in a jewish neighborhood and have my home serve as a safe space y'know?#i'm probably too introverted but i would like to at least try this one day g-d willing #LMAO as i make this post i'm playing skyrim. and i'm making my follower pick up EVERY book i see in dungeons #because i have a skyrim library in my home(s). if i carried those books myself i would be SO overencumbered #I'm not beating these allegations either apparently

so i read the infinite noise last week

(to clarify i fucking loved it i just had a lot of emotions)

#joe speaks #joe rambles #the infinite noise #the bright sessions #my entire brain has been the bright sessions recently this is all sarah's fault #caleb and adam are sooooo precious to me and thats partially bc they hit really close to home bc adam is basically me #i would like to personally thank lauren shippen for ruining my life (/pos)#i could write a fucking ESSAY about adam and how similar we are and how much he makes me feel seen #i have now read the infinite noise two and a half times in one week #been carrying it around in my bag like a safety blanket

listen it’s none of my business but when you say “Bilbo would have been better for taking the Ring” and then state “Frodo’s character was mishandled” I think maybe you like the Lord of the Rings inside your head more than the one actually written 💀 as if it wasn’t stated multiple times both in the text and by Tolkien himself why Frodo was the Ringbearer. Pleeeeeaaaase PLEEEEAAASE stop giving me gray hairs and take an interest in the text you read and it’s deeper meanings beyond power scaling characters, favoritism and finding the “most efficient way to take the ring to Mordor”. The debates about who should have taken the Ring are the exact same as “they should have flown the eagles to Mordor” except it’s spoken by people who genuinely are avid fans of the books and movies.

#frodo baggins #bilbo baggins #it’s so dire out here man #this was an actual opinion I just saw. unfortunately #at least it’s rarer now but I still see the incredible common opinion that Frodo ‘wasn’t the right person for the job’ or whatever #THATS NOT THE POINT…. PLEASE #why are there so many people who just don’t like Frodo. why don’t you like him. quickly.#is it because he fails. bc newsflash. EVERY SINGLE BEING ON MIDDLE EARTH THAT COULD TAKE THE RING WOULD HAVE FAILED. THATS THE POINT!!!!!!!#is it bc he’s not a typical ‘hero’s journey’ fighter?? bc then I have to ask if you absorbed the ‘I hate fighting and war’ sentiment at all #bc Tolkien tried to make it clear in each of his more ‘typical’ fighting heroes that the act of fighting did not elevate them over others #and that in many ways it was better to find peaceful solutions rather than violent ones.#would Bilbo have resisted more? hard to say!! he held the Ring for a VERY long time but at the same time the Ring wasn’t ‘awake’.#to Bilbo’s enduring credit he held that thing for 60 years before showing corruption #when others that touched the Ring showed corruption INSTANTLY #but at the same time when Sauron began to awaken it and call for it Bilbo DID in fact fall to its power!!#he wasn’t immune!!#neither was Samwise for that matter. no more than Frodo was!!!#augh. my heart hurts man #people give Frodo shit for being a gentle soul who suffered inward more than outward and not returning ‘victorious’#but he did all he could. he did all anyone could. why is that not enough for you people?#it was enough for Tolkien. it was enough for every wise being on Middle Earth. it was enough for those who understood the sacrifice.#Frodo isn’t even a ‘passive hero’. sure he gets a ton of stuff done TO him and his deeds aren’t as visible as other characters.#but every single step towards Mordor was a great action. the very act of carrying the Ring forward moves the story and quest along.#that is an active character. his actions (traveling forward despite bearing the Ring and Morgul wound) are integral to the story #you expect him to do that AND be slaying beasts and commanding others?? the same folly Boromir had. the same way the Ring tempted Sam #cmon. there’s a beautiful world and a beautiful story being told and you’re missing it. let me show you how beautiful it is.#making everything about a single character you favor even if it doesn’t make sense textually is a disservice to the story you enjoy.#the entire world and all the characters of lotr are so compelling even if you don’t like them!!! why ignore that?#it’s the world and people your character lives with!!! look at them!!

What’s wrong babe? You’re thinking about Glinda’s face before she is handed the torch to light the funeral effigy of her friend? Her best friend who was fundamental to the woman she has become? The woman that she abandoned at the most pivotal moment of their lives in an act of cowardice that she has spent the rest of her life running from? Her best friend that, through her own lack of action when it counted most, is widely believed to have deserved her murder?

#I saw wicked part one this morning #and there are so many wonderful things about this film (despite my earlier apprehension)#but far and away Ariana grande’s acting CARRIES it #I think it is both a perfect homage to Kristin Chenoweth #as well as a wonderful nuanced interpretation of the character as she exists in the narrative of the musical #that little head tilt after the first person says no one mourns the wicked is what started me crying #and I’m tearing up again now just thinking about it #masterfully shot and arranged #THIS is how you adapt a stage story for screen #the closeups and cutaways are part of the storytelling in a way that is not possible in a live theatre setting #yes I have a long list of critiques with the choices made to adapt the musical from the novel #but at the end of the day I am still so deeply in love with every version of this story #and I think that this film adaptation is truly breathtaking #I want to kiss the director of photography on the mouth #and I really hope this begins a renaissance of Ariana grande’s acting career #because I think she has so much more to give us than anybody expected of her #and I very seriously and truly hopes she wins at least one major award for this #just cast theatre kids in musical adaptations just do it #this has been a galinda upland post #wicked part one #wicked #wicked 2024

MiqoMarch Day 18 - Snow

When your partner has been trained to strike from behind, it's best not to loose sight of her.

#miqomarch #miqomarch2024 #ffxiv #g'raha tia #y'shtola rhul #wolgraha #wolshtola #y'shtola x wol #ffxiv gpose #arsay cant help but sneak and be silly #tbh arsay is really not a big fan of ishgard #for one its cold and shes not a big fan #thankfully shes got proper cold weather gear now which is what you see here #two: even though the fortemps gladly welcome her into their home she still just doesnt feel right being there #despite how long its been and even if shes sorta made peace with it shes always going to carry some guilt over what happened in the vault #BUT G'raha said he wanted to see it proper so she will bite her tongue and go with him #she'll just also happen to slink off and help the first person she sees after showing g'raha around the upper city levels #a mere coincidence surely #graha so handsome in that third shot imo #i know im biased but shhh #WOL posting #Arsay Nun

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.

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.
