I think we should we should start a compilation with all of this Guys different Names in different languages! Who's with me?

I'll start with the German one:

"Phantomias"

Quick question. Would anyone be interested to see what I do on my instagrams...? Like, I have an experimental horror account that I'm getting back in to and then one that's full of random stuff that's also my main account.

So like, would y'all be okay if I just post art dumps here and there? Especially as buffers when I take some breaks so I don't get burn out?

Plus I don't post any of my art stuff here on my instas really. The most I've done is post things from my instas here. Here is where I can be cringe and free lmao.

Either way it's no hard feelings! Just curious mostly.

i think that it's a canon event for neurodivergent art theater kids that hyperfixate in pwaa to draw something involving both legally blonde and ace attorney, and now it is MY TURN TO SHINE!

[lamentable-comedy]

you know, that one story about a relationship between a guy with an unprecedented one of a kind power and his kind of dead love interest who wears a lot of fancy floral print outfits

(aka Simon Snow Pushing Daisies AU)

Dndadders is it too early to be placing bets on which season 3 PC will receive the in-character patreon EP/album treatment.... Guys...

Who's the best trio?

Banban goes to heaven and just sits down and cries because he's never been to a place so kind and loving to him unconditionally. It is a perfect world but he does not believe he deserves such compassion from the universe and can't fathom being given good things without also suffering.

And heaven is literally just the candy mountain from Kipper s3 Arnold's Balloon Trip for some reason.

It's amazing to see that Ezra managed to take care of himself for all these years.🥲

Imagine the chaos if the people in the indignity test suddenly came into the LCF world-

Dodam calling Cale 'the terrible bastard' while everyone is confused

Raon is happy knowing that even in another world, his human will always save him, just like he promised

Maybe even them fighting for Cale's attention

Both CHs look at each other warily but bond over the confusion that is known as Cale Henituse. Also, CH promises to teach indignity test CH how to become stronger to protect his new-found family. Cale is scared at this, as always

Alver laughing with a refreshed smile, while the younger him wonders if he's gone crazy when he sees how much paperwork he has.

Tiny Alver being happy when he sees that the dark elves, and them too, have been accepted by people. It only reaffirms the fact that he didn't make the wrong choice.

Baby KRS who is wary at first and sticks to CH like glue, however soon opens up with the help of the children. I can imagine Alver going 'Aigoo, why can't I have such a cute dongsaeng?'

However it's ruined when they teach baby KRS how to scam with a bright smile to get money (a critical hit to Alver)

(If you want angst then they wonder why KRS is here when he's so young, however they see how skinny he is still, his footsteps too quiet to not have been learned, the way his eyes were always looking for escapes and he hated people getting too close. The way he dissociates sometimes, just staring blankly at the wall. It's... unnerving, to say the least, to watch a child go so blank and unmoving.

It's clear that something terrible had happened, but both CH, KRS and Cale (to Alver) hold their silence, so all they can do is treat him with care.)

Tiny KRS and the children bonding.

Raon being taught by Eruhaben and Rosalyn.

If they still had the cintamani, maybe they could also dote on baby KRS and how cute he was as a kid, asking 20yr KRS why couldn't he smile at them like that and how such a cute kid turned into such a grump- (tsundere-

Them helping each other out for the future, and sharing concepts/ideas from their worlds.

Vicross having to babysit but he doesn't mind

Ron noticing the similarities between KRS and Cale and deciding to pay more attention to the two of them

Anyways, wow. This got way longer than I expected-

if DPxDC got you into checking out the comics or other DC media, what have you checked out and how did you like it?

I'm just curious. I think it'd be really neat to see and hear from y'all

[capn-twitchery]

wuh oh twitch!!!!! this seems bad

I think I finally figured out why I don't really vibe with so many takes on DFF (not the speculation and meta posts, mind you, those are brilliant!).

I think it's because I get no catharsis at all from revenge plots and seeing characters die - even characters who might "deserve" it. With DFF, I'm more interested in character backgrounds and dynamics and how things went wrong (and imo the series spends a lot of time showing nuances when it's plausible).

I know, it's probably not the right way to approach anything in the slasher genre but I like horror and I like BL so here I am, watching. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And the reason why Jin is my favourite character is because it's so interesting to see how much can go wrong between meaning well and feeling genuine affection for someone. What Jin did he didn't predominantly do out of mean-spiritness (like Por and Top) or apathy (Fluke) or selfishness* (Tee), yet his insecurity did play a part in Non's bullying and disappearance. Jin is a flawed character and I really, really like flawed characters.

(*Is it selfish to want to keep someone close because you like them? Sure. But certainly there is a difference here between this and Tee utilising Non in his very illlegal and dangerous schemes.)

Plus, I'm not really on board with punishing even the most awful of children for something that the adults (Keng, the police, Por's parents, Non's parents, Tee's uncle, their entire school...) fucked up. I'm not saying they don't belong on trial etc but I do draw the line at impaling someone on a sharpened stick and letting them suffer for days whilst in the care of the worst medical student ever.

And. Whoever is behind the mask (probably? Never say never with this genre) killed an innocent uncle who was just trying to do his job. Wow. Revenge sure is nice.

That being said, obviously catharsis is a super enjoyable and important way of watching things so hate away. I mostly just wrote this for myself to better understand why I'm so squicked. I promise I won't get mad when everyone but final girl is killed off in various gruesome ways. 🙏

[shoechoe]

i don't really understand it when people say they have like 5 hyperfixations at the same time. how is that possible

same for when people say something is a "mild hyperfixation" i feel like if it's "mild" it's not a hyperfixation it's just like, an interest of yours

Ive seenyou mention wuxia a few times now and i wonder what that is. Would you mind explaining it to me?

not the most qualified person to explain this as i'm not, in fact, from china; but i've read a couple of wuxia so here goes:

wuxia is a genre of fiction from china specifically, about martial artists in ancient china. i don't think a specific time period is like required? obviously some dynasties are more popular but idk how it goes in that front. it just has to be Not Today and probably Too Long Ago. like pre industral revolution i think. again idk if that's a requirement, but most i've seen are from around the same relative murky pre-electricity era.

xianxia is a subgenre of wuxia that's specifically more fantasy-like, and it's not just martial arts, but also spiritual powers and cultivation (which i have no fucking clue how to explain without two hours and three tangents other than chinese magic system. if you've ever heard of chi/qi as an energy, it appears there). so like- genshin is by all accounts a xianxia, it just doesn't use the more common specific xianxia terms like cultivation. some of those are very weird to translate and probably not common for the average non-wuxia reader, so it makes sense why they're going for alternatives.

chongyun and xingqiu and xianyun are very much straight out of a xianxia. xianyun's entire story quest was the closest genshin has gotten to a straight xianxia plot so far. i highly reccomend ashikai's video on unnecessary visions if you want more info on why genshin is a xianxia hahah

cyanide narwhal has some talk of some stuff from xianxia, but that's mostly because well- fucking liyue, that's how it works there. the whole light energy striking down someone who's getting powerful and giving them godhood if they survive the strike is, while not exactly like that, something that happens in some xianxia as well. like the way adepti work in general is just very xianxia. ashikai does a much better job explaining it than i do tbh but yeah

TL;DR: wuxia is chinese martial arts fiction in ancient china, and xianxia is a wuxia subgenre with more magic elements. also genshin is a xianxia
