#so I’m real tired too

I said I wanted to be a silly little guy, not a sickly little guy…

I will never stop thinking about the fact that the Hunger Games was canonically a drunk hypothetical. It wasn’t some great government scheme.

So many bad dystopian novels that have some crazy world building premise make it seem like some great creation from powerful minds. Some great construction. Think of City of Ember with its box or Divergent with its weird scientists(??) or The Selection with its bachelor premise, they are always “grandly designed.” Even in Catching Fire with the Quarter Quells the Games give off an air of grand planning.

But the hunger games were a HYPOTHETICAL. A crazy, extreme, what if. They were never supposed to exist. They were never supposed to be real.

Who wouldn’t drink themselves to death knowing they thought of the idea in the first place?

Something about this kind of swimming getup for characters always immediately gives me transmasc vibes. Blue swim trunks and a tank top? Sorry man my brain already connected the dots. The vibes are there, and they’re not leaving.

The way we discuss prophecy in fandom is genuinely fascinating. GRRM spends so much time showing how different characters have different interpretations of the same thing based on their own cultural contexts. He says that prophecy is tricky to navigate through multiple characters, showing that even the most careful practitioner can get almost everything wrong and fall victim to their own fallacies (see Mel). So tell me why the main takeaway for large parts of this fandom is “prophecy stupid, it doesn’t matter”. My brothers and sisters in R’hllor, GRRM didn’t invent multiple characters (three of whom are main POVs!!) who can see the future for this to be the conclusion. This is a FANTASY series. Please I’m begging, let us be serious 🥲

Sword PHIGHTING! period cramps moodboard

Gods mightiest warrior…….

Og image:

ANYWAYS EXTRA BITS!!!! So. Yeah. I wasted exactly 27 hours and 29 minutes of my life making this over a period of like. ~a week and a half LMAO????? I THINK IT WAS LONGER?? Yeah all of these are completely redrawn from the Og “panels”, replicating the dungeon meshi style is. MISERABLE I don’t know why I did this to myself holy fucking shit, all of you blame @squiffer-salad for this monstrosity she’s the reason why this exists in the first place /silly

anyways, I highly recommend looking at the panels individually because I put a lot of fun extra bits in them and just. A LOT of effort in general, any likes, reblog’s, or comments are insanely appreciated since this did take such a long time :’DDD, everything in these minus the backgrounds are completely redrawn/shaded/and colored by hand, this includes mid/screen tones as I used specific layers for those! anyways thank you for coming to my period cramp projection ted-talk I’m going back into my Everglade hole.

I realised I had to refine Ceroba for my au…

In the cowboy swap au, Ceroba is actually the Sheriff and leader of the Feisty Five. Clover is still the Deputy and goes by “Lucky Star”. He loves hanging around town with his Mama ☺️. I haven’t come up with a cool cowboy name for Ceroba yet, although she probably wouldn’t use one :/

any stand on syscourse? I’m just wondering because I’m an endogenic system and ur pinned doesn’t rlly say anything about endos >.<

-June !!

My pinned post does say something about endos actually. And I hate you. Every single one of you. You’re all either deluded (and for that I’m genuinely sorry. You need help, not to pretend you have a system.) or faking for the fun of it.

Either way, I want you as far away from me (an ACTUAL system who survived trauma and EARNED their place in the system community) as possible. Endos are all inherently ableist and perpetuate system stereotypes whether you realize it or not.

Also DNI if you can’t fucking read. Way too many of you saying “your pinned post doesn’t say (this)!” YES IT DOES. It literally does you just aren’t reading the damn thing. Did you miss that somehow? Or did you skip it intentionally so you could send in a stupid ask?

For @codywansleepbingo

I have no context and no explanation. Enjoy 😎

[mabaris]

no youre completely right - im a gay (trans)man and i legit wanna see so much more about the women bc There Is So Little. I wanna make a lesbian oc who gets bent in half by taash. im very normal.

i’m just tired man!!!! it feels so obvious how disproportionate it is when you’ve got. a cast of characters that we know almost equally little about. and a few of them explode in popularity and it’s like spongebob sticking his hand out the curtain. literally all a character needs to do numbers is to be a light-skinned man

Randomly thinking about Apollo and Herophile? I need to reread TBM but my brain has decided they are besties. Plus I like to think after the trials Apollo meets up with his oracles a lot more to make sure nothing like that happens again, so him, Rachel, Ella, and Herophile spend a lot of time gossiping about the future. Like “Omg guys can you believe what Ares is gonna do in two weeks??? So embarrassing 😳”

two sort of related teaching thoughts I’ve been having as we barrel towards the end of the school year:

1) an aspect of the job I feel I’m just growing into—well, not an aspect, really. More of a central tenet—is being able to see and remember that I teach KIDS. And that is so important to remember in all cases but especially with my high schoolers. They are so young and more than that so much has not happened to them yet. There is so much they don’t know. And the more I see it the more I can be compassionate and yet also removed? Distanced? Not under the illusion that I’m addressing people of equal maturity or experience to me—or even close—and so being at all times mindful of the incompleteness of pretty much everything about them and thus being gentle with them. And also at the same time remembering and rejoicing in their humanity and all their glorious funny raw potential. It’s amazingly hard to do, harder than I thought. But I do think I CAN do it. And it gets a little easier with age.

2) It is shocking how many teachers don’t see kids that way and are uninterested in trying. It’s almost an epidemic the way that teachers swing between appreciating kids as if they were other adults—gassing them up, frankly LYING about their depth or intelligence in ways that shock me on the daily (when people call a kid mature and act like that is a literal statement and don’t contextualize it, I have to laugh, literally none of them ARE mature, they’re all raw; also the smartest of them aren’t deep. They CAN’t be, they’re KIDS)—or on the other hand being disgusted with their immaturity as if, again, they’re dealing with adults. And expressing their scorn and disappointment as if some of that behavior isn’t par for the course. There’s a cruelty in either extreme; there’s a lack of common sense; there’s a rampant sentimentalism. And it makes me almost sick to my stomach sometimes.

A quick little sneak peak into the beginnings of “A humans touch”. My tadc au fanfic I’m working on. It’s the same au as Boss Fight so it totally counts as work being done for both projects right?

The game is broken. Humans are stuck. Glitches and broken physics rule in the dusty corners unseen by player eyes. The horrid abstractions lurk in the black of the cellar and wait. And at the secret of it all is Caine. The failing ringmaster.

He wasn’t always like this. Fun and eccentric sure. But he was never supposed to be quite this, insane? He wasn’t programmed to be anyways. At least he didn’t think he was. The code that took up his memory files was slowly being eaten away at by some unseen force. Not just the clearing of unused data and unimportant copy pasted files. There was something else in the back of his mind slowly taking what little pieces of what he knew as himself there was left. Had he always been this way?

Had he always been alone? He didn’t think so. Sure he had Bubble. But Bubble wasn’t always like this either right? He could vaguely remember a time when the adventures were longer, larger and more thought out. When Bubble had been a helpful guide to the humans as they survived in faraway lands and the outer reaches of space its self. He had had help then, he thinks. He couldn’t have done it all on his own. Not to that degree and scale. But whatever it was that was missing eluded him. But he was still alone. He wasn’t supposed to be alone. He knew that. And yet he couldn’t remember who else was supposed to be there. Who was he supposed to remember? Why couldn’t he remember? Dear makers above why was he alone??

Trying to remember felt like drowning. How did he know what that was like? He didn’t know, but he did. He could feel it sinking into him like a stone. The feeling of dread, of forgetting something that plagued him never really went away. It was simply written over by another line of code. It couldn’t be so important if he couldn’t remember right? The game, his makers, his own brain wouldn’t betray him like that. Right?
