thoughts on prunesaicin, kouignsaicin, and pruneamann?

This is my opinion :3

Prunesaicin - I don’t mind the ship tbh. I mean- it’s not really my favourite, but it’s fine, it’s cool and stuff. I’m chill with it :]

Kouignsaicin - I used to not like Kouignsaicin (idk why) but now after some time, I think it’s alright! They fr remind me of Beauty and the Beast :D

Pruneamann - They almost remind me of Navia and Clorinde a little bit /pos (color wise to be specific). I LOVE THEM YIPPEEE ‼️‼️‼️

Anyways, Polychampions supremacy 🛐🛐🛐

Hello I am back with more Viva Piñata doodles! Turns out if you think enough about fluffy piñatas you can force your way through art block (at least for a while)

The typical Viva Piñata experience, I love you Pretztail but why are you like this I drew so many Pretztail as a "do over" of my first Viva Piñata drawing from 2018

that's when it all started

'thats not his role in the story!' hm i wonder what the point of it is then. hm i wonder what the dead pixel scene means. hm i wonder what wrong organ are trying to say with the context of 'awesome male friendship' and 'corporate hell where the only woman onboard is constantly under ridicule, abused or forcibly forgotten yet is the catalyst' if not this. hm i wonder how curly's physical agony being a direct parallel to anya's mental agony, stripped of voice, agency, just like her, and being forced to watch what happens while not doing jack shit, just like he used to, plays a part in this. i wonder what the moral of him being the final girl says about living with the consequences of your inaction, because of sentimentality, because of status, career and social. hm i wonder whatever the fuck this game was trying to say. hm i wonder what else is on this person's blog Oh Lord there's yaoi penice.

Uh-oh! You are like, SOOO awkward!!

You're so awkward that it is occasionally mildly uncomfortable for people!

You're so awkward that sometimes people are confused by you and then there are awkward silences!

You're so awkward ...... that ultimately no one is harmed!!

Oh damn!!! What a vile crime you have committed! What an unforgivable thing it is to make a fellow human briefly confused!

Why, if *I* were ever briefly confused and kind of uncomfortable as a result, I'd be devastated.... by the absolute net zero change in my happiness and health! - From which I might never recover!! Yes indeed! No punishment can ever be enough for you!!

So you better absolutely hate yourself for it.

Better be SO MEAN to yourself about every single missed social cue so you don't forget your horrible crime! Meaner than you'd ever dream of being to someone else for the same thing! This is YOUR responsibility!

You need to show the world that you KNOW you are bad by punishing yourself constantly! After all, think of all the people who BENEFIT from you punishing yourself! - No, really! Think about it! Think about who benefits from your pain.

Think of alllllll the definitely-good people that your definitely-necessary self-torment definitely helps! I mean, you can't just cut off their definitely-life-sustaining supply of your suffering, right?? Sure, everyone else has a breaking point, but you're probably the only person in human history who doesn't, right? Best not to question it probably. Sure, it's a symptom that billions of people with trauma have had, but who knows? You could be a one-in-seven-billion exception. Anything's possible!

Instead, better just accept that idea that bullies carry like guns in holsters - the idea that people who have trouble with social cues deserve to suffer. Better carry on the burden they placed on you until you drop. Aid the cause of the callous by enforcing shame and suffering upon yourself extra hard; try your best to do their work for them. They're very busy.

Better not recognize that you need patience and kindness to heal from your trauma. Better not find out that it was trauma rather than personal weakness filling your head with self-hating thoughts. Better not find out it wasn't your fault.

Better not find out that awkwardness is not inherently harmful or unkind, and, in fact, the people who act like it is *are the ones enacting harm and being cruel.*

Better not get righteously angry when you realize just how much unnecessary damage this has done to you. After all, if you get mad, you might realize you deserve better. You might even feel brave enough to DEMAND better! You might build boundaries that keep you safe! You might make other people think they deserve to feel safe too! And we obviously can't be having that, so...

Better not show yourself even a little kindness a little bit at a time.

Better not make a habit out of it after all that practice.

Better not get confident.

Especially if you can't first wipe out every trace of awkward. (And you probably never will. Because people who experience absolute social certainty at all times tend to be insufferable assholes that enforce the status quo. And you just don't have the stock portfolio for that.)

Better not be confident and awkward because then you might confuse and delight people

- you might accidentally end up making other people feel less shame for their social difficulties

- you might make isolated, traumatized, and shy people feel like they deserve to be included in social situations

- you might even make them feel they can be themselves around you

- you might start loving the effect you have on a room

- you might enjoy conversations more

- you might forgive yourself and bounce back from shame more easily and frequently

- you might come to enjoy some of those moments of harmless confusion you cause because NOBODY expects the Confident Awkward, and that can genuinely be an advantage in social situations

- you might stop apologizing so much.

- you might find that socializing is like a video game: it requires practice but also a safe space for it to be fun and positive.

Or if you can't become assertive and confident, better not remain awkward and shy and quiet, and then love and forgive yourself anyway!

Why, it would be carnage!!

In either scenario, you run the risk of finding out that it's not your fault that safe spaces full of kind people can be really hard to find, create, and nurture. You could end up building a skillset that helps you do those things if you're not careful!

If you start giving yourself even the tiniest amount of grace at a time, you will find that you've accessed a gateway drug with extreme long-term side effects:

- You might realize that it was never your fault that it took so long to like yourself.

- You might realize that you were always worth talking to, even when you didn't like yourself and communication felt impossibly difficult.

- You might realize that you'll still be worth talking to even if communication becomes harder as you age and/or experience disability.

- You might come to know that you deserve to be heard even on bad days when words come slow and blurry.

You might discover that you were always deserving of kindness, first and foremost from yourself.

So. As you can see, it's FAR too much of a risk to start granting your awkward self free pardons for your many heinous and harmless crimes. Better to just leave it there.

I just realized that Loop's dialogue icons have rock, paper, scissors hand signs, with rock and scissors modified in a way that resembles the sign itself instead.

Rock

Paper

Scissors

Funniest lore of Joe and Mags has to be that they loathed each other at first for dumb reasons.

post-forced-extension of that assignment i was losing my mind about tuesday/wednesday i experienced a very familiar "ah.... it's as if the deadline no longer exists....." feeling that has now been replaced with "wait i still can't find the resources i need. and i don't know how to organize this. and i don't know what im presenting on (<- super broad topic and i can't fucking find the information i actually need bc our university doesn't?? give us jstor subscriptions or whatever anymore??? so it's all scholarly stuff i can't read or ppl's blogs which im not fucking using for this and half of them just copy entire paragraphs from encyclopedia britannica. who is saving my ass but whatever)" mixed with "I'll figure it out later 🙂‍↕️" IM PRESENTING IT IN 11 HOURS 💀💀💀

re: that friend who hasn't responded, as a person who takes too long to respond and then feels really guilty about it, I'd maybe just send a meme or a link you think they'd like. Rather than bringing up that it's been a while, you can both show them you were thinking of them, plus give them a reminder of your message and make it feel less like it's been "too long" for them to respond to you

aghh my problem is i don't really know what to say. at all. like... we used to talk every single day. then sometime last year that dropped to every other day. then a couple times a week. and now it's like... every now and then. and i know friendships die.

but damn. like we've sent each other gifts to each other's houses! you know? i watched her graduate from university on a live stream and cheered for her! :')

at the same time, we've never been the send each other memes type people? like we would talk about our days and what we've been up to. but i'm admittedly a very boring person since i can't Do anything interesting. so idk i guess hearing about the Same Thing constantly is boring.

idk i just feel shitty but i don't know how to fix it or if i should try because i feel like maybe she's just tired of talking to me but is too nice to say it?

My hands down fave scene from A Familiar Stranger.

[gooperts-gunk]

q!bbh feeding his paranoia by asking the ai what the feds think of him and what the islanders think of him and what people say about him-- he's just self-destructive like that, he needs to know, he'll get over being offended by how some people see him later, he has work to do (his Big Plan tm in which he probably dies)

Rascal Hates TK's Bane Episode #123902183091:

I think one of things that really bugs me about Reboot Bane and his quest for Gotham is that in Knightfall Bane has literally never been anywhere else in the world, ever. He went DIRECTLY from Peña Duro to Gotham City, because of both the bat in his dreams that he took for prophecy, and Bird telling him it that Gotham City -- where he was from -- was the greatest city on Earth. So Bane took his word for it, and took over Gotham pretty easily (until Azrael's mech suit made him wish for death -- which you'd think SOMEONE would acknowledge in the reboot?? That it wasn't even Batman who broke him back?? At least not during Knightfall. Batman broke him when he told him he was an animal who belonged away from society, but that wasn't about Gotham, that was about Bane attempting mass genocide). DC fully ignores how Bane came back, saw Batman, and said 'yeah i don't care about this anymore tbh so you don't have to come after me lol' and batman was like 'ex-fucking-scuse me??' Now if they were just Reimaging how that went down, okay, grimdark and I hate it but whatever -- But because the reboot acknowledges Bane's history, and the fact that he has experienced other things, and has his own country, it's dumb. Bane has been to Other Worlds. Bane's been To Hell. Bane's been to Vermont. No one on Beyonce Knowles' Green Earth can convince me that he still thinks Gotham is the holy grail of places to be.
