Something i'm surprised hasn't come up yet: How did Solas clean that dagger off of taint? At the very least Varric knows about the idol, pretty intimately in fact, and uh. considering the blight is a very major threat right now, wouldn't something like that be Important?
#or maybe it'll come up later#just between us retrieving the dagger and the blight spreading so rapidly i expected it to have come up by now#or did they say it and i missed it smh?#laya plays dav#dav spoilers#you'd also think that things like andraste's grace or fiona or avernus or merrill would be relevant for this#which are all things that i didn't exactly expect to come back but still#again with the blight being Really Fucking Present And Scary you'd think any knowledge about fighting it would matter#i'm still vaguely holding out hope for a surprise merrill cameo but smh i doubt she will show up lol#she can't die in da2 (i think??) so it *could* be (<- hoping against all odds) (please bw i miss my wife)

Excited that in the latest Victoriocity episode Clara's facade is starting to crack a bit. I hadn't realized she was running from quite so much. (Also I don't know enough about the British peerage to know how big of a deal earls are.) It seems like we're setting up a parallel with one of the season antagonists being another young woman from a privileged background who wanted to escape that by playing a role, and Frances is getting people hurt. Clara's already experienced the downsides of her zany little adventures - Fleet's death, the magician's 'death' - but neither of those took, so she could continue on her merry. I wonder if she's going to experience more permanent consequences this time.
#perpetual perpetual ladies night#he has a lot on his mind rn so maybe it'll come up later but lmao @ fleet not reacting at all to this#unimpressed by nobility. good for him#victoriocity

You guys ever feel trapped? Yea I'm well-acquainted with the feeling of being trapped.
#*text#talk about unpleasant#sorry for only posting textposts here lately. I Forgot how I use this blog.#Also I'm gonna use this as an excuse to vent in the tags about something that's been bothering me today.#I hate days where it feels like I can't be the same person for even. idk. an hour?#I was gonna say just a general statement of 'I hate how I can't feel like the same person for more than an hour' but then I realized it onl#particularly bothered me today so maybe it's just a sometimes thing. throws hands up in the air I WOUDLN'T KNOW#It's just...nothing I do throughout the day matches. i keep starting new things only to forget about them (or forget how much I cared#about them) and try something else later. resulting in a long line of unfinished stuff and frustration.#I keep trying to come up with new conclusions/solutions to problems I've run through my head a million times already.#problems I didn't know I had or forgot about pop up etc.#I'll be doing fine and then I'll just feel stranded out of nowhere with no idea why and trying to figure out if this is normal for me.#I've felt stranded all day.#it's just ugh. i'm so confused. it's been a day i guess.#all the words i write feel kinda foreign to me sometimes. short term memory problems I guess. ✌️#but also I feel very very locked in a really limited worldview. or just like. my world feels very small like tunnel vision kind of thing an#for that reason it just feels like it'll go on the same forever and ever and ever. which is a very scary thought.#idk if my logical 'well that obviously isn't the case. things will change eventually' rebuttal is good enough to go against it.#so there you go I wrapped it all back to the point of the post: feeling trapped. yayyy#i don't mean to make myself sound so sad and pitiful. usually i'm doing fine and bad things kinda just don't register in my brain#but there are Secret Evil Feelings inside me that I don't even know about and sometimes I like to poke them with a stick.

transgenderism dilemma
in the vein of that last post, i'm not sure what to do about my straight cis friends who keep referring to me as she. they are very supportive and they try their best to understand and i appreciate them so so much!!! but when i have other friends (some also trans and some cis but queer) who do make the effort to call me he or they (which i retired a while ago lowkey) , it's just kind of glaring when some of my friends still call me "she."
i know i told them any pronouns are fine and it doesn't bother me, but it kind of does. i don't want to go by "he" full-time, mostly because i'm more than a little nervous of being accidentally outed to people i'm not ready to be out to (my parents or some of my professors). but they're my friends. but i also know that if i tell these friends to call me "he" or even "they" (which still annoys me but at least gets them to acknowledge i am trans), i run a serious risk of them Not Understanding in front of someone i don't wanna be out to.
should i be this worried? should i have to go back and forth mentally about whether it's worth it to get gendered correctly by certain people when i know those people might potentially and completely accidentally out me?
i don't know. is it worth it? is it? to be gendered correctly or not to be. to be content with "they (sometimes) got the spirit." hm.
what do i DO??? do i even do anything?? AUGHHH!!!
#also still kinda annoyed with the fact that it feels like sometimes those friends don't see me like an adult if that makes sense#i think that's a me problem though#maybe i just need to be more clear when i'm making gay jokes and when i'm being serious#yesterday friends were talking about sex and i showed up and they were like we'll talk later and i was like oh what were you taking about#and they were like oh you'd think it's gross don't worry and i said oh you're talking about sex aren't you. i don't think sex is gross you#can go on!#like sure come on guys /i/ am iffy about sex when it comes to myself but on the whole it's just a topic#it exists#it's fascinating in a social science way! let me at least listen to your convo for science purposes lol#and then they kept talking and it literally wasn't even that bad#idk sometimes they just make me feel like The Gay Friend instead of. their friend who is also gay.#is that my fault? is that my failing? is that how i behave? should i change my behavior?#is this how i act around straight people friends? i don't know. i really don't.#in the meantime i guess it'll just grate on me and i'll be grateful for my friends who do refer to me how i want#sadly maybe these friends just aren't the closest to me and maybe it's okay if i let them keep thinking of me like this. like. incorrectly#i don't KNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

there are things that you don't do for a year or more and pick up just right where you left off and these days i fear loving you might be one of them
#double meaning on that but. yeah.#it's like. i haven't touched the imaging software i use for an entire year. soldering iron in decades. pick it right back up. to my surpris#muscle memory is crazy#i don't draw for months and pick up right where i was with a few sketches bc the work you put in stays even when you don't actively practic#when it's something you've practiced weekly and daily it sticks with you and ig that's good#but then it's like. the horrors. that haunt you. yk? what if a part of me will always save a soft spot for my ex. what then.#what if I'm fine now and I'm doing okay and i don't miss it and I think i'm okay moving forward and i see her and suddenly I'm on the floor#what if some part of me that was in love never really went away what if i haven't managed to kill all of it yet#bc i genuinely would not know what to do. i. i don't want to admit it but one of my worst fears is liking someone who doesn't like you back#and what's even more horrifying is if it's obvious. if everyone can tell. and usually I'm good at hiding it! (not really) but it's just. id#it's shame in liking someone who you tell yourself you don't want to like and you know you shouldn't. and not having control over it.#hoping praying that either she does something that turns the little switch in my head that sends her into the unforgivable category#or that i become straight. or that i become straight. mhm. yep. or ig the other option is i get a crush on someone new but like. mm.#i kinda have gotten w every person I've had a crush on since hs and i kinda don't think im ready for another rs so soon.#the baggage i just got is. hm. idk i kinda don't wanna unpack it. it's something that can easily be done if i had the missing pieces but.#i don't think I'm ever gonna get them. so. instead I'm gonna take. maybe another 3 months or 5 months or a year or a few. to just. slowly.#idek. it's just triggering old things. bringing me back to when i was 14. i never really got closure from that either. it took me 3 years.#I'm sure this time it'll go away faster but idk experiencing it a second time has a different feel to it. idk. it's weird.#it's like. idk. it's like you're watching it happen and you're not even there anymore. idk. i really don't know.#oh. I've been dissociating.#idk maybe it's for the best i really don't know i really don't know and everyone says i have to do what's best for myself but idk what is#my life is on track things are moving forward I'm doing better and healing but i can't escape the feeling of dread#something is going to catch up with me sooner or later and idk what it is idk at what intensity and idk if i will be ready for it#but anyway. when you love someone intentionally every day for a while. when does it go away? will it go away?#or will i have to live haunted by ppl who are alive but changed. so practically dead w/o the opportunity to mourn. for the rest of my life?#like i don't think i get it. loving this person was like. cooking and eating. intentional. ingrained into everyday life. effortful.#what if my mind does forget but my body still remembers. what then. what if it's like searching for sth you don't remember having anymore#ig I'm just trying to figure out how much to forget these days. how much won't hurt if it all comes back to haunt me#delete later

i did not wrestle w high performance computing for the last 24 hrs just to let batfam get away with the batcomputer in future chapters
#i'm coming for their lives later#redglyphs#on tpac#and i mean a solid 24 hrs... only took nap and napped up the diagnosis of my error#but still needed to ask help on how to FIX the error#and to be fair i didn't intend to stay up#but coding has a way of making you forget time. very much like pulling a slot machine#''this time it'll work. okay no just a small edit and now it will work. okay maybe one more--''

Changed my plan with my PC.
I'm going to buy all the other components first, and then the GPU last.
With the CPU I chose, I'll be able to game before I get a dedicated GPU. It has integrated graphics and is, on its own, more powerful than my entire current laptop.
So, I'm ordering my case tonight, and I'll slowly buy the rest of the parts after.
I've decided I want to do this because just gaming with the new CPU is gonna be a considerable jump in performance, and I know that'll be very satisfying. Then, I'll get another huge jump when I'm able to buy the graphics card. I think I'll appreciate 2 boosts more than just one.
#tech yearning#maybe this makes no sense to anyone else idk#I think it'll be good for happy brain juice to already have a much better computer and then jump up to having a VASTLY better computer later#and added bonus. I can wait for a good sale on the GPU/the one I really want coming in stock that way but still have something ready

sometimes i wonder how that one piglet plushie that belonged to a kid i saw once on vacation then never saw again that was left by the swings is going right now
i want to make a comic out of it this is my reminder
#we talked about our toys#And how they come to life when we aren't looking#Ans I imagined my toys playing like in toys tory because I wasnt in our room with them#Minus the one I took to swing with me#Later I saw their piglet plush by the swing on the dirt and I told mom about it and she said#They'll probably come back for it#And I swung there for a minute and looked at the plushie like#Maybe if I go away it'll have fun swinging on the swings as it waits for the kid to comeback#I don't think they ever did#But I don't know#Makes me Feel#It even rained that day later and I remember peeking out to see if I could see the kid back of if I could see piglet swinging#I felt very bad because it was there in the cold#Odd thing to get randomly hung up on but I was always an imaginative kid and this moment just makes me Feel Things when I remember#Like an odd melancholy#But bittersweet - sweet because of me looking back at a childhood innocence#Welp eep time

a single mom raising a family of four 💪😥💗
#this caption is not true he isnt a single mom. sonic's helping raising jam (the blue one) because she's their kid#but the others are just shadow's. also technically jam and pinky (parrot wings) are adults#maria (the white one) and luna (baby dark chao) were just hatched today! :D so now he's got twice as many kids to deal with LOL#im trying to make the shadow chao and it was gonna be maria until i realized i dont think it'll work if she's. white#so she's just doing her own thing now and then luna was born as well#i didnt realize until after she was born that the chao's types are something they're born with depending on genetics#and in order to make them a shadow chao they need to be a run type. one of their parents happened to be a run type so uh? we can hope#if not. i can start over and get two run types to mate so i know what it'll be for sure#ANYWAY. but yes shadow has a lot of little guys to be looking after. will anyone help him with this burden?#answer: uhh sonic will come in and give jam a few pats. maybe drop off some drives he picked up.#then he will give shadow a hug (which he bristles at) and run off never to be seen again. until like a week later#this is the life of single mom shadow#serena.txt#getting them all together for these photos btw was SO DIFFICULT it took forever. much as i imagine wrangling real little kids for a group#photo must be

400 icons later I'm finally done adding the tiny adjustments I settled for! In all honesty, doing this is exhausting as hecky but I'm also really happy because I've been wanting to do something like this for Dain for a very long time to no avail. But at the same time it's highly rewarding to me because graphic design is a passion of mine that I include as part of the RP experience and it's really invigorating to have a newfound inspiration that I lacked a while ago. The change in his icons isn't that big, but I'm still one to keep things somehow simple as to not distract from the main point of focus which should be him.
#doing thingies for S.kirk#and later learning at long last#how to do gifsets on my own terms#and however I want them to be#has been huge to me these past weeks#and I want it to stay that way#my main issue with Dain is that he has little#to go with#as opposed to other characters#I would love to try my hand at one of these icon designs#for other characters that already have their content too tbh#I also noticed from my own observations#that doing designs on square icons is fairly easier#than for rectangle ones#maybe it's another reason why I struggled this much#to come up with something good for Dain#if any of you peeps would like me to do some for you#do give me a heads up and I'll try my best!#next week I only go to class the first two days#and soon it'll be Christmas break after other 2 weeks#so I might do some gifts of this kind when the time comes#in the meantime#by all means if you want something#do let me know and I'll do it!#I'll go check if I can farm some more artifacts now on Genshin#and then I'll jump to write thingies here finally ♥︎

#sometimes I wish there was like a guide or sth to dealing with intimacy when you're ace#not just in relationships but also in relationships#bc sometimes I think back to conversations I've had with non-ace folks in the past#and usually they would come down to sth like 'when you know you know'#or 'there's gonna be this look and you'll know it's the right moment'#which all seems fake af and untrue and entirely un-applicable if you've agreed to sth else#like.. if you've agreed to not worry abt that and that you'll pick up the topic if anything ever changes#but how do you know if things have changed. how do you know what you want vs what you're wanting only in the moment#and how do you not make it awkward if you bring it up only to later realise maybe you were just having a weird moment#(like. I go through phases every month and I know it's coming. but I also know it'll go away again eventually)#(and like.. I guess I'm still terrified of setting expectations for things I can later not fulfill)#(and sure that's prob due to fucked up shit that happened in past relationships and this is not the same)#((..the difference a partner you can trust to keep their word on respecting your boundaries can make...))#anyway. scared shitless of starting sth I can't finish. also unsure if I want to start anything in the first place#and just so tired of not knowing where to even fucking start. gonna blame my migraine weirdness for posting this in the first place#a day in the life of..#(((how to know if maybe you'd like something now when you haven't in the past but now all parameters are different..#..and maybe it would be nice but maybe it would still suck and you'd end up hating it and feeling regretful..#..and maybe you'll never be able to get out of your head enough to just have a moment and go with it and be happy)))

wait i have a question that most definitely is not about me and my endless wips what are you talking about?
#bela talks#poll#most of these are just ideas and i havent actually written anything for four of them#or come up with a plot#only one has words put down#and two have vague vibes for how it'll go#and the last two are just... 'hey that would be fun' with nothing else attached#i... maybe could be persuaded though#new year's resolution perhaps???#although to answer my own question yes i do love canon i just also love putting characters in situations#also i feel like i need to mention these are all in one fandom. I have more in a different fandom.#I am a one trick pony#edit: what if I told you I have since plotted one of the last two#less than 24 hours later

Bruce coming home one day to find Robin Jason clinging onto a chandelier with Dick below him cheering him on.
Bruce: Jason what are you doing?
Jason: Dick said that you missed his antics after he moved out and so he’s teaching me how to be a better son
Dick: After this we’re going to drive the Batmobile into the bay :D
Jason: We’re going to what? I mean yeah! Right into the water.
Jason trying to whisper to Dick: Dick I can’t swim though
This just further fuels the chaotic dynamic of Dick and Jason during a time where Dick was still going through his teenage angst and was absolutely not a benevolent role model LMAO
I mentioned it in this post, but it's just so funny to me to imagine a Jason who grew up with an absolutely WILD Dick Grayson as an older brother, while the younger batkids grew up with a more mellowed out and mature (arguable but when measured against the other kids, he wins by a landslide) Dick Grayson.
Robin!Jason era:
Dick: You wanna go out and get high?
Jason: I can't, I have homework.
Dick, sputtering: HOMEWORK?
----
Dick, about to do an elaborate (and totally not dangerous) acrobatic move in the manor: Watch this, littlewing
Jason: You shouldn't do that, it'll make Bruce upset.
Dick, on the brink of angry tears: Why are you like this.
----
Jason, dejected: Listen, I know you don't approve of me because you think I'm not good enough as Robin, but-
Dick: Not good enough as Robin? I don't care about that, I just think you're a little bitch
----
Dick taking Jason out on a hangout for the first time: OK, looks like I got my work cut out for me. Take out a notepad and write everything down. I will NOT have my successor embarrass me like this. So what you wanna do to piss off Bruce-
---
[Years later, Jason returning to Gotham with the fury of a thousand suns and the chaos to match it]: I'm gonna make your life a living HELL, Bruce
Dick, older and relatively more chilled out: Okayyyyy, maybe let's just– calm down a lil, haha, no need for the theatrics
Jason, betrayed, observing a Dick Grayson who is teaching his new younger siblings to behave and be mature: Dick, what the FUCK
-----
Present!Dick, mentoring Tim: Make sure not to be too impulsive, don't wanna raise Bruce's blood pressure
Red Hood!Jason spying on them from afar: Who even ARE you??
-----
Jason: So you teach me ALL of that, only to turn into the ONE thing you despised so greatly all those years ago
Dick, sweating: Well-
Jason: I'm ASHAMED. How can you be worthy of being called my PREDECESSOR?
#Jason (disappointedly): you either die a villain or live long enough to see yourself become a hero#Dick: we have so much to catch up on! anyways so Tim became Robin and I'm a cop in Bludha-#Jason (incredibly distraught): YOURE A COP??!?#Jason to tim: Alright looks like I have to be the one to pass on Dick's legacy now LISTEN HERE-#ok but seriously Tim is already insane on his own. kid didn't need dick's guidance at all. he's just like that#imagine the chaotic older brother u grew up with turned out to be a cop id literally throw up#jason todd#red hood#dick grayson#nightwing#tim drake#red robin#robin!jason#batfam#batfamily#batkids#batbros#bruce wayne#batman#dc#incorrect quotes#crack#fanatical asks#fanatical posting

The point shouldn't be to identify for sure 100% what is ai art and what isn't. I keep seeing posts advising one to look out for wonky perspective (as if perspective doesn't routinely trip up even the most experienced artists) or to pay attention to fudged detailing (as if impressionism wasn't one of the most influential artistic movements in history), and I think that's coming from a good place but frankly it's a losing battle. Remember when everyone was on about counting the fingers or counting the teeth, and a week later they had that shit ironed out completely? All you're really doing is giving these people more data points to work with to refine their algorithm. It's just going to be constantly shifting goalposts, and at a certain point real artists are going to get exhausted trying to make their art look as not algorithmically generated as possible. It'll be impossible to keep up.
So what should we do? Honestly, I think old practices are still best practices. Find real artists and follow them. Don't repost art, and dont spread reposted art. If something doesn't have a source, skip it. Support artists you like, either by sharing their work directly or donating. And if someone's work looks suspicious? Maybe give them a second look. See some of their other art before jumping to conclusions.
And yes, that means sometimes, you're gonna be tricked. Some people are going to fly under the radar and pass off ai art as their own. And that sucks, and they're liars, but you can't let the obsession with bad actors police real artists out of their communities, or discourage new artists from entering the scene.
