dunmeshi fans realise people can find fat characters (and real people too!!!) sexually attractive without it being "actually a joke" challenge

[siennaditbot]

Got motivated for one night so far so here's my tip

Stop doomscrolling and go learn things. Please.

Maybe even write them down. Take notes from video essays so you won't get bored. Your brain needs more than the easy dopamine from constant content. It helps with escapism, yes, but is it really helping?

Here's an easy start: go look up things you're interested in. Maybe some silly questions. Like...

"Why do we use the QWERTY-keyboard?"

"How did we decide what numbers or letters should look like?"

"Is there anything interesting in the history of my hometown, country, language, or family?"

Or, on the franchise side of things...

"What can I learn about my favourite game or movie's soundtrack?"

"Is there a greater theme or message in this game/movie/franchise?"

"Do the people working on it enjoy it? Are they passionate? Can you learn from them?"

(There are great video essays on GRIS, Minecraft, Sonic and Hollow Knight at least that have some amazing answers and have brought me to tears lol)

Learning shouldn't be graded and made stressful like in school. It's so fun. Only a few hours in and I'm feeling so invigorated I don't wanna go to bed.

I've been writing down fun facts I could later share with people or have some interesting conversation topics to bring up.

So.

Stop doomscrolling. Wake up your brain.

It'll thank you.

hey guys remember the time zelda became a magical girl

closeups under the cut :>

[bubbl3solution]

i find it endlessly funny that people on twitter saw these early elemental test animations and went “THIS IS WHAT WE COULD’VE ENDED UP WITH???!@;&” like no actually believe it or not there was a time when the animators were still learning how characters made entirely from water and fire worked. It’s almost like it took lots of trial and error to end up with the visually stunning movie that we have today. crazy isn’t it

[todayisafridaynight]

No because Zhao speculating felt like such a

Looks into the camera

"I bet you're wondering why that happened. ;) heres maybe a reason ebina was deep..."

moment

no literally- like other antags' endgame Deep Moment scenes worked because there was SOME build up throughout the game to key us in on them from a deeper level but it just doesnt work with ebina

[vilevampire]

I've never received so much psychic damage from reading something in a fic as I have today reading a paragraph referring to f1t as p4c's "best friend and most trusted companion" with no mention to m1ke at all

[yurislava]

i just realized one year ago today i realized i was aromantic

[snuggledupblanketdragon]

kinda been in the mood where I wanna lay down and take on and off naps for ten years but I know that if I do that I’ll just feel worse so I try to get up and do things but then I still feel bad while doing them and I end up laying down anyway I’m feeling something but I don’t know what am I sad angry disappointed bored I’m just so unmotivated to do anything I wanna get up I wanna get out but I don’t want to deal with everything that comes with that I wanna see my friend but I know they’re busy I wanna talk but I never have anything interesting to say I feel like there is a void inside me and I want it gone but I don’t think filling it up will help

[tbhshaped]

can I be honest and say that Lily Gao's Ada Wong is like. The best Ada Wong, I am not afraid to say it, Lily gives her so much more than just the typical "flirty sexy" voice, I am a Lily Gao defender till I DIE she is the only Ada Wong to me

[girl-with-bones]

Holy shit I'm so fucking tired of this- PUBERTY. THE- IT'S. IT'S FUCKING PUBERTY.

THAT'S WHAT HRT DOES. I DONT KNOW HOW OR WHY PEOPLE HAVE IT IN THEIR HEADS THAT HRT IS SOME EXTRA SPECIAL EXTRA SCARY BODY HORROR SHIT THAT KICKS YOUR PUPPY AND KILLS EVERYTHING YOU HOLD NEAR AND DEAR TO YOUR HEART.

Does Puberty affect people's singing voices? Yes? Cool. Hrt will do that too. Does every single male singer say Puberty ruined their voice? No? huh that's weird, maybe Hrt is the exact fucking same.

Yeah, hrt can fuck shit up. So does REGULAR PUBERTY BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HRT IS. THAT IS WHY IT WORKS. YES IT IS DIFFERENT IN SOME WAYS BUT IT IS STILL JUST THE BODY REACTING TO HORMONES BY GOING 'OH SHIT WE GROWIN UP'

please im gonna. fucking. burn parliament down I don't even know I just- HELP

i am SO sick of the fearmongering around T and how it will affect your singing voice. i have been singing since i was a kid. i mean i have been singing as long as i could talk, i was once in an all girls choir, i was the youngest person in my churches choir when i was, like, 8. i never had much confidence in my voice because i sounded like a girl, which led me to singing less, which led me to sounding worse. before i started T i was SO worried that it would ruin my beautiful feminine singing voice.

but the difference is like night and day. i sound SO much better than i did pre-T. i can sing without hating myself. i sound like a man and i can sing

and yea maybe i’m no longer and 8 year old soprano. but i can sing and listen to myself and not want to die and isn’t that fucking wonderful?

[fizzstix]

idk i love splatoon. i know this is such an unsurprising comment like wow the guy w the splatoon icon the splatoon banner and splatoon as the top tag in her tumblr search likes splatoon but it's a rlly important game to me. i'd get all sappy about it since it's really only just hit me that like. this is the last update cycle that the games gonna get and i rlly do wish it could have kept going a little longer but honestly? i feel like even once the game stops updating i'll still care about it. i still cared about splatoon 2 when it stopped updating, hell i think i cared about it more after it stopped updating. also, i highly doubt splatoon 3 will be the last we see of the franchise. especially given how popular it is in japan. i've loved these games for years now, and for a long time when my life seemed really turbulent they felt like the only reliable thing i could fall back to.

The cutest vampire ever!!!!!!!! 🦇

Ik october is like THE month of art challenges (forever blaming the Inktober guy) but unfortunately i've never succeeded in partaking in any of them the last like 8 years BUT i still wanted to draw something in celebration of the month!!

So i drew Ominis! As a vampire!!! For Halloween!!!!

I felt like i was so focused on trying to draw him correctly by looking at references and following them and i could feel my art style losing its flair a little because i'm really not used to realism 😖😖

This piece was a nice break from it all, and I'm happy with how it turned out, even though it's a little messy :'D

This is also why every comic part i made is different from one another and how it's never the same style. Trust me, i am very painfully aware of it lol... but I have to remind myself not to take it too seriously and prioritize on trying new things and having fun!!

Ok rant's over thank you for your attention good bye.

GOOD OMENS SEASON TWO SPOILERS

Ok I’m gonna be deeply ranting and analyzing the kiss scene (mostly just the kiss itself) because OH MY GOSH THERES SO MUCH TOO IT

First of all here’s a gif of it:

And also I don't have a gif of it but when Crowley releases Aziraphale, what struck me was that he didn’t make them burst apart he gently and almost sadly just stepped back. And then watched. Now. One of the biggest things I’ve been thinking about in this (because I’ve been obsessively watching it over and over) is how Crowley is kissing him. It’s a long kiss. It’s not sensual. It’s not eating each others faces. It’s intimate and very romantic. Crowley missed Aziraphales lips by a hair and is slightly kissing his chin. Crowley holds him there as they sway back and forth slightly. I can’t see if his eyes are open or not. But the thing that strikes me about this is how much all of Crowley’s body language and everything just scream about how much he doesn’t want to move. He finally kissed his angel and he wants to stay pressed up against him, finally locked in the embrace he didn’t realize he needed for so long. He just stays there. He doesn’t kiss deeper. He just stays pressed against him, not wanting to deal with how Aziraphale will look at him afterwards.

then he has to break apart. He does it gently, but suddenly. Like he had to force himself but doesn’t want to . He wanted to stay, but he knows he can’t. So he steps back with his heart breaking more than he thought possible.

now onto Aziraphale.

Aziraphale is shocked. His eyes go from open to closed to open to closed. He leans back so slightly you almost can’t see it. He doesn’t seem to know how to feel.

And then his hands go around Crowley. It almost seems like it’s an unconscious motion, given how he looks after they break apart. It looks like for a split second, he lets himself melt into Crowley, as his hand wraps around his back and slides across it. But then he hesitates again abd takes his hands away. He thinks he can’t melt into Crowley. But there was the one moment where he broke.

after they break apart, Aziraphale looks shocked, upset, desperate, and to me, even a little disgusted. Probably because he doesn’t know how to deal with it. He licks his lips and moves his mouth around abd seems uncomfortable. But then after Crowley leaves he presses a hand to his mouth. He holds it for a second and starts crying. He realized he liked how it felt. He realizes everything he’s been missing. He loved the feeling of Crowley’s lips on his. Most importantly, he loves crowley.

on the topic of people hating on Aziraphale and saying the metatron did something to him, I disagree. This seems completely in character fir Aziraphale. He’s not an arsehole, he’s in conflict. He thinks he’s not allowed to love Crowley. I get him.

ok Thanks for coming to my Ted talk hehe bye

[luna-loveboop]

Luna, my dear sweet friend, can I pick your brain?

Lofty gave me a veeerrry good scenario for a Time vs Sky conflict, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on what that could look like? I picked 2 very mature characters and now I have to make them brawl lolol

I think the best route (for me at least) wouldn't involve the master sword or Hylia. So this would be a personality conflict. I don't wanna spoil the scenario she gave me, so I thought I'd ask for your general opinion on what you think would make them fight, personality wise🥰

Feel free to delete if you don't care to go over this, but I thought I'd ask cus you're really good at going in depth with character analysis❤️

BYE FRIEND😀 also I hope you're doing well and you're amazing and wonderful❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

YES ok so personality conflicts between Sky and Time. There's... a lot to look at there lol.

So I'm just gonna look at each of their personalities +flaws, and then how they interact :))

Soo for Time

Time is dad. He's older and more experienced- and he's still a stubborn gremlin like all of them. He's patient with them but also stern- he cares very deeply about all the boys and Sky is no exception

I don't doubt for a second Time wants to be just as close to Sky as the others

One of Times biggest flaws is the idea of a closed mindset. Which makes sense, since we know Time's ending as the hero's shade- he spends years in that mindset of regret. Time has these thoughts of being too old to change (<no), and allows himself to keep holding onto bitterness, especially about the sword. Which he has good reason to be a grumpy old man already, with the mental and physical age difference, but still

Time is obviously capable of changing his mind- as Wind took a challenge to prove

But overall Time is still. He's not super expressive, my man likes to just be. He wants to be still and live, and hero as needed, and not be a super crazy hero, but just a chill dude with malon.

Time is patient and stern and calm and good. He is also closed and stubborn. That's all good, but it doesn't always work the best with Sky.

So Sky.

I literally love this ask because I could rant forever about his flaws to talk about them more (no one kill me).

Sky very highly values being a hero as part of who he is- in contrast to time who literally just doesn't want to.

I see so much of Sky's patience. And with good reason- with others Sky is endlessly patient and calm in resolving conflict. He's emotionally intuitive and intelligent and awesome

But Sky is also I think extremely impatient. With himself, and with things around him that aren't going well.

He wants answers and he wants them now, which is kind of scary from him. I see a lot about Skys temper, but I don't want to forget how much of that is from impatience- not knowing how to handle things going slow.

Because things moving fast and violently is how it needs to be right? *cough cough IMPA

For all sky is extremely patient with others feelings, he is one of the most impatient people with himself and his circumstances. Which a lot of comes from immaturity, which is my next point-

Sky is. A monster with pranks. I don't even know why it took me so long to realise this was Sky-

Saying 'I know we should help but this is too funny'. Twilight and wild are looking disturbed and like they want to help, and Sky and legend are just cold-blooded leaving four struggling for his shield and taking bets. He's very immature, and furthermore, he doesn't really respect Time as an authority as much in the face of pranking/joking

Bro is not remorseful at all I swear-

I also think 'nice hair' Sky is a little... idk judgy? With people he doesn't get along with as well. Like Hyrule. (Wait I haven't yet I gotta rant on that sometime sorry- but yeah he and Hyrule don't vibe well)

Sky can also be unrestrained with his words and snark- his words can practically be a prank in itself 'nice hair' 'am I late?'. I think sometimes he toes the line with pranks and joking around (like that one quest where you could break Peatrices heart?), and same with his words. Overall he's a snarky and sharper person- and being able to pull off good pranks and jokes isn't inherently a bad thing- he's smart. He's a kind person too, but I think sometimes his words and actions can be too sharp.

I think Jojo also said in the post with their ages that she made him slightly younger because of his immaturity compared to twilight. Do with that what you will

So point is, Sky has flaws that are mildly subtle but still prominent, like his impatience with himself and situations, his immaturity with joking and temper and words, and I hc he's a slightly judgy person. 'Nice costume' to Zelda like SKY but I swear I love him. Don't kill me for discussing flaws please I have a dog

So how this comes together with between him and Time is pretty cool-

Skys impatient, and Time has a resistance to change in his mindset- which means that as far as the sword, Sky wants change now, he wants validation and Time to not hate it. Time does not care about this because the sword hurt him and he's spent years hating it.

But with situations and stuff, especially with the entrance arc, we can see Sky being very impatient after Twi's injury- from what I can tell he wants to rip dinks throat out. But it's still subtle- what's not as subtle is how much Time wants to slow down. He wants to hold them back and protect them, and Sky is impatient in a frustrating situation. I could honestly see Sky wanting to run after the shadow on his own right now (sorry, I've been rereading elastic heart). Sometimes patient + wanting to hurry up doesn't work well.

If you think about it in relation to their journeys it makes sense that they are portrayed this way. Skys journey was about rushing and trying to hurry up. Times journeys were horrifying, with this insane feeling of running out of time.. but he could still turn back said time.

I can't even count the number of people I've seen say they tried to rush through the eldin temple as fast as possible on reruns- after Impa telling him it was too late trying to run as fast as possible even knowing it wouldn't change anything. That translates into skys character, and it must be insanely frustrating for him.

They are both heros. Time's journey was about saving the world and Sky's was about trying to kill a god. It's a big disconnect between them- one is patient and one is not, one doesn't want to be a hero and one's life is being a hero dating a goddess. One lightheartedly jokes and one throws a love letter down the toilet (SKY), one is older and one is immature. Yet on the surface Time wears a scowl and Sky is as soft as can be.

They are so very different in so many ways, but so much alike- they are both heros, they both want to be young and playful at heart. They both really like stabbing things and setting them on fire. And also saving the world.

They are also both extremely mature in ways beyond their years and endlessly kind.

I love them so much.

I wasn't sure to say this in the post bc the ask is about personalities, but I feel like another major issue between them could be whatever happened with Time and timelines and the triforce. Obviously the timeline is messed up. I also have not played times games... but I think in timeline talk one he mentioned the triforce of courage ended up broken? I can see Sky not taking well to all of that.

Soooo in terms of personality conflicts that would make them. Fight? Yikes what are you planning Oma, I would say there's several possible triggers outside of the master sword and Hylia (which I think is wise of you to avoid btw)

I think that Skys impatience contrasting with Time's fixed mindsets can have issues. But the way Sky has shown no acknowledgment of Time when he's tried to stop the boys goofing off w/ pranking can also be a trigger- as well as that sharp and sometimes insensitive snarkiness in Skys words we all know and love. They have. A lot of issues. lol.

Yeah! I uhh hope that helped and was relevant or made sense at all- I swear I love these guys. These two are fun to look at because outside of the obvious stressor of the sword they have a lot of other issues as well. They have differences in thinking and personality that can lead to a lot of tension between them.

Thank you for the ask and I can't wait to see what you come up with

The art and comics is by Jojo @linkeduniverse au :D

Thank you for listening to my rant, and here's one of my favourite pictures of these guys

rant about hair n black women

as an indigenous person, thinking ab spiritual warfare historically was often exercised by sabotaging the hair: methods such as scalping, hair cutting, or forced veiling/styling shows how much significance hair has in communal morale, and how prohibiting the expression of hair correlates to a weakened community spiritually. it’s all so … ketuvian

rant starting here (very bluntly worded but im saying it with love)

some people might not like what i’m finna say but mama need to say it. ion think black women ever worked w that wound cuz the way black women have chemically altered their hair or put the hair of exploited non black women on their heads is so karmic to me. so many people reluctant to addressing the wound

and when y’all be like “my hair is #indonesian i’m not trying to look white” i’m like ohhh brother. ur being willfully obtuse 💔 u not tryna look white? mkay sure. but u def not tryna look black either. if it was just hair people would be getting wigs that matched their textures :P

do u know how much i see bw self deprecating ? “i hate my hair” “my hair is a curse” etc. sisters pls address ur manufactured desires PLS n do not give in to the texturism - u didn’t come out the womb hating urself. ask WHYYY ask WHYYY. n don’t even start w the “white women wear fake hair too” or “black people can have straight/blonde hair” cuz that’s disingenuous. let the melanesians GO. u are BLACK AMERICAN from ST. LOUIS MISSOURI they got NOTHING to do with you !!!

anyways … the relationship black women have to their hair feels rahuvian lol, n im not saying addressing the wound relating to ur hair will fix the problem but it’s a symptom of the larger issue imo. like the way that black hair trauma is a billion dollar industry is very karmic. these companies are siphoning us as a community … sooo …

here’s some thoughts n notes lol take the advice or don’t #whatever

sm “black hair care” products have carcinogens in them. stop giving them yall money 😭🙏🏾

a lot black hair care is lowk a scam. they usually be using race science to sell it too lol. as a negro, ur hair is not exceptionally so unique that u can’t just use products regular ass products … u just may have to use it differently

less is usually more. black hair as is should be very low maintenance just bc how fragile / delicate afro hair is. youtubers popularized them extensive ass haircare recipes / routines but it’s not necessary unless directed by ur hair care specialist lol also they was getting sponsorships girl they not using all that shit everyday 😭

with that being said, @ some of y’all: y’all not gon see no progress wit y’all hair til u accept ur hair is simply not gonna behave like the loose curly girlies on tiktok. that’s why u think haircare is much more extensive, draining, & fruitless for ur hair. ur trying to get it to subvert its nature & that rejection of nature is a ancestral/karmic imbalance. example: wash n go means wash n go, it doesn’t mean slick w 4 diff products and then blow drying the roots and then finger shingling and then blah blah blah so it hangs loose

lean into the ketu of it all. let go of societal perceptions of good hair, of did hair, of allat. let it go n let god. be ok with frizzy edges, u do not NEED a slick ponytail. knotless r ok but not as protective as people say. sometimes u just need some dookie braids and oil. and for the love of god give ur scalps a BREAK !!!

rant over, mama loves u so pls hear me out. this correlates to my spiritual hair care posts. i just felt it on my spirit :P this obv don’t mean u can’t do whatever u want w ur hair but at least maybe #stop the exploited human hair laces & put the relaxers down … moderate heat. just my imo. :p ur beautiful as u are. are u not tired of performing for the white eye in ur minds ? for the colonizer in ur hearts ?

anyways … i love u … bye n read the bluest eye by toni morrison x

I need to rant about a problem I have with Rise! Raph

… ok, that’s a bit misleading. I have no problems with him, but I absolutely do with how this fandom can treat him.

Namely, the flanderization of his character. Specifically the part about him being the nicest iteration of Raph, because I see SO MANY people make him out to be the nicest softest most UwU-est boy when ITS ONLY PARTIALLY TRUE GODAMMIT AND IM TIRED OF IT.

HES ROWDY. HE LIKES FIGHTING. HE TRIED TO LIFT UP A BUS AND HE STILL. HAS. ANGER ISSUES!! HES JUST BETTER AT MANAGING THEM FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Please. I’m so tired of people acting like he never gets upset or angry and is the nicest person to ever exist in this godamn franchise.

Because yes, he is nice! And I love that about him, but some people are so extreme about his softness I’m going to blow a fuse if I see more of it.

Stop contributing to the flanderization of characters, guys. I love his kindness as much as anyone else but it’s NOT HIS ONLY TRAIT.

This won’t be getting a lick of attention but I just had to say it.

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk.

I’m not trying to be mean by the way this is just all my opinion and it sorta just boiled over after I saw this happen again on some random post!

I don’t claim to know Raph better than anyone else, of course. But some people for sure don’t know him! And I won’t apologize for saying that because I’ve noticed mischaracterization is a huge problem for this fan base, and I think everyone should take a moment and reflect on how they portray these characters.

Ok bye guys have a good day/night/whenever!! Again, just my opinions :) I was bored idk (I could go on for hours about him tbh)
