girlbossing too close to the sun.
#art#ive literally just been treating this game as a library simuator#i walk from bookseller to bookseller opening up all of their books#vivecs sermons are either a highlight or the point at which i stop reading#ive been trying to convince the ordinators that imitation is the highest form of flattery but it hasnt been working#let me wear your helmets please theyre so funny..#posting morrowind in 2024 isnt a cry for help but youre not wrong to be concerned.#morrowind#almalexia#vivec#im going to explain the chitin armor give me a moment#so the bonewalker nerevar on the shrines is adorable and it was only after drawing it however many times that i realized#it looked relatively close to a modified chitin armor#and so i modified chitin armor a few times and this was probably the cutest result#i also know i drew almalexia relatively pristine and untouched by years and vivec not so much but my thought process was#vivecs role as if not a favorite then the most accessible divine or the most “hands on” in a manner of speaking#acting in ways visible to the general population or actions explicitly brought to their attention#like not that almalexia isnt doing anything she is#but the dissemination of information regarding that is very different etc etc etc#anyways to a certain extent a god is the face on a shrine or in art or upon a statue or carving#but vivecs presence is interwoven with the geography of vvardenfell especially and his actions and writings with pubished materials#and the arts and culture and customs etc etc etc#so to me the face of a god you know and feel a commonality with or a god that walks alongside you is a face you would recognize#and vivec is already otherworldly looking enough#the simple mark of the years on his skin in some way grounding him in reality felt more right#that and i think the ways in which he and almalexia care about outward appearance are slightly different- they prioritize different things#and the ways they present outward power and their embodiment of their respective attributes share some similarities as they both have that#important preoccupation with physical power and physical strength to a certain degree#oh my god nobody read this i am yapping so bad.#tes

It's kind of funny that Kendall and Shiv are both equally delusional about their ability to charm people for business and somehow think they can do it even though they choke almost every single time, whereas it's like the one thing Roman is consistently good at despite being the "least legitimate" option.
I think part of this comes down to the fact that Shiv and Kendall both have very clear ideas of the versions of themselves they're trying to be and the images they're trying to project, and they're trying so hard to be seen that way that they end up coming off as a little desperate and off-putting. Meanwhile Roman "knows" that there's something wrong with him and he's worthless, so he doesn't get sucked into the trap of trying to force people to see his idea of himself and instead molds himself into whatever he thinks the other person wants from him because that's the only way he can compensate for "being him," which works very well in the short term but also means he's the least capable of maintaining any relationship for very long because he has no sense of self.
#this was going to be a joke about kendall consistently failing to charm anyone that isn't stewy (and still for some reason thinking he's#good at it) but then i thought about it too hard and started connecting dots#but it is really interesting on a character level to analyze the different ways the siblings act when they're trying to win someone over#kendall and shiv will try to find common ground but they always end up pushing too hard and overplaying their hands because they're#focusing too much on wanting to get the person to take them seriously or see them the way they want to be seen#and roman will test the waters a bit but not say anything definitive until he get the person talking and can see what it is they want#and then just says whatever it is he thinks they want to hear#which also makes a lot of sense with the abuse dynamics since he was the one most likely to actually get hit so the goal is to just make#sure dad never gets angry at you and tell him whatever you need to to avoid that because the consequences will be worse#anyways its 2 am here you go#succession#kendall roy#shiv roy#roman roy

remus canonically said lily “had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn’t see it in themselves” and yet some of y’all say it’s insane to think her and regulus could possibly get along.
#she’d give that boy a chance. i’m sorry but she would#and a lot of us think regulus has good aspects anyways separate from the lily/reg dynamic. hence jegulus#so why is this such a stretch to some people?#even if it’s not romantic i feel like they could find some common ground#regulily#jegulily

rarepair on side, rarepair on side!
#dungeon meshi#shuro#toshiro nakamoto#namari#toshimari#i think i don't like them romantically as much as i do like... well#the guy went a little hard on the marriage proposal#i think he needs something more casual while he figures himself out too#n i wanna explore some stuff with namari too once i understand her more...#they have a lot of common ground i think. better thoughts coming soon#they're jist so underrated as a dynamic in general#like geez its not like they share half their screentime or anything!#but yeah like. one of those things that's short term experience rather than a long one#and i ❤️ secret third thing#you've heard “chilchuck's type is blondes''#now here comes ''namari's type is tall quiet black-haired people''

not used to this kind of mascot
#art#traditional art#watercolour#fanart#vocal synth#synthv#synthesizer v#asterian#koharu rikka#genbu#voicevox#kurono takehiro#zundamon#and a tiny tiny solaria and saros mention LOL#i think this is loosely inspired by the memory of some vine or tiktok i saw where a guy goes into a bathroom at a buddys house#and their dog is in there just staring at him. while hereditary music is playing. you know the one#the eclipsed sounds celestial polycule are interesting as a unique design style because like#rather than a full anime mascot or an abstract design boxart (the more common styles nowadays) theyre in a middle ground#with full mascot designs that translate to fanart pretty well that can appeal to the capital v vsynth community#while also not being too anime to scare off north american music industry people LOL pretty interesting needle they threaded there#all that to say i think it would be funny if they werent used to doujin ass open source software bullshit like miss zunda of mon#theyve only ever been in synthv the weirdest they know is like. frimomen <3 he probably thought his squads celestial deity thing was#already out there enough.... he doesnt know.... he doesnt know about the zunda arrow#god i watched zunda horizon recently. the little half hour animated special they did for zunko and her crowd#it was so cute and funny. these girls fought wars over beans. people were dying.

@girlymatsu ive been unable to stop thinking about these three being friends since you mentioned it, so i hope you dont mind that i drew out a few ideas ^^;!!
#my art#ocs#kiru#keiko#others ocs#its like 4am so sorry if my handwriting is a little sloppy OTL i hope its still legible...!!#also i couldnt find any examples of erinas work attire so i decided to wing it... im sure youve drawn it before im just a little tired#it ended up looking a bit minimalist for her tastes...... lets just say its a lazy day for her HEHE#but mostly i think kiru and erina would have a lot of common ground in. well not exactly SHARED experiences#but the emotions surrounding how they connect to other people/feel a need to perform i think is very similar#for kiru some of it is in the past but make no mistake the constantly calm/collected ''reliable nee-san'' thing is kind of a facade#not Fully but still. shes quite guarded#okay im rambling now BYEEE

hello hello foxes ranking based on who jean would get along best with?
- @you-know-i-get-itt
omg hiii queen love your social media aus <3
1. Andrew - by “get along with” i mean they exchange like 5 words but idk Jean is so similar to Neil (and Andrew). i hope they end up on a pro team together
2. Renee - we’ve already seen they get along well
3. Neil - they piss each other off but also they’re forever partners. they look out for each other and they have the same brand of insults. homies <3
4. Matt - Matt is good at exy so Jean would respect him and Matt is nice and funny and hot. would take some time but eventually backliner buddies
5. Dan - Jean seems to appreciate a strong, skilled woman. like Thea
6. Kevin - im sorry that Kevin is here i just think their friendship is kind of ruined forever. i think if they played tg again they would piss each other tf off lmao. Jean would get prickly at Kevin’s harsh criticism after their history lol and Kevin would get pissed off that Jean isn’t listening to him and would feel guilty
7. Aaron - i think Jean would feel so neutral about Aaron. unbothered king
8. Allison - ik they’re both tall, pretty, and cunty but i think they probably wouldn’t find a lot of common ground lol
9. Nicky - they’re not vibing. Jean would get annoyed quick i think lol
#please don’t hate me for ranking kevin so low 🙏#i’m sorry 😔#i love kevjean but they’re so done with each other there’s no coming back methinks#again i could actually say so much more about each of these lmao#but i don’t want to make the post too long#i don’t think jean would appreciate some of nicky’s jokes#matt and jean actually kind of have a lot of common ground and considering the way matt reacts to neil#i think he would similarly grow to like jean#i LOVE jeaneil#in the nest if neil was 3 and jean was 4 as intended#they would be hooking up fr#ask tag#aftg#tsc#jean moreau

one of the best things about getting older is hitting the point where you look around and realize you arent legally bound to be nice to anyone. it doesnt matter if youve known someone all your life or if you met them last week, if you decide someone is too immature, unevolved, annoying or just plain uninteresting to you, you can simply tell them you dont want to talk anymore. you can just break it off and walk away. you dont have to stay in meaningless or frustrating friendships or relationships. you can decide you dont like someone and it doesnt have to be moral it can be any reason you could ever think of and you can simply say hey. i dont think were compatible and id like to go our own ways. and then you can clean your hands of it and never have to stress about it again. its fantastic.
#pruning becomes necessary as you get older bc some people stop maturing or refuse to learn and grow and its like oh okay#well then bye#and thats that on that#i think it also brings a lot of mindfulness to the relationships you DO keep and you DO foster and you DO grow#bc to make a relationship (even friendships) last#you have to find common ground. you have to find bridges in communication styles. you have to have empathy and forgiveness#its a lot of work and its not something you owe anyone. if there are people you dont want to do the work with then just be up front#dont be a dick (unless they warrant it) you dont have to tell someone were not friends anymore bc you chew w ur mouth open#but you can communicate clearly that you dont think youre compatible people and you want to go your own way#freedom

the worst kind of disease is thinking that bcs you are not the worst kind of racist, misogynist, homophobe, etc that somehow absolves you of any fault
#i have daughters! great you still speak to your wife in a degrading manner#but i treat her right i love her! your anger at any given moment does not justify what you are teaching your daughters to accept#but i have a black friend! you still clutched your purse when you saw a black person walking near you#i respect gay ppl I just don't agree with them! great you still talked sbout how lost and corrupted they are behind their backs#you still vote and move politically in a way that actively harms them#so. forgive us and forgive any one if they can not look past that#I'm so sorry but some times your version of common ground still causes harm#and its not like we can't all have different views#but my god stop acting like the way you behave has no impact on others#thats a selfish way of thinking#we are ever growing ever learning#you are not done unlearning biases#you are not done acknowledging your shot comings#you can also not recognise fault and then continue to behave in the same way#and think that bcs you recognise your behavior you've done enough#pls for the love of god wake the fuck up

things the US needs to address:
the collective psychosis that leads people to make posts like these
#in case it's unclear what i mean:#1.) blaming gen z men or any of the listed grifters is useless idpol#2.) half of your country did not 'vote against [your] collective best interests' lmao#if you truly believe that you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the position your country occupies in the global economy#and the benefits conferred onto its citizens for supporting the imperial world order#3.) i feel like OP kept this point purposefully vague (ofc social media has on effect on the common good. what effect specifically?)#but i'll still respond by saying#social media has helped immensely in exposing how often traditional news outlets lie retract revise and outright fabricate information#the more aligned with bourgeois interests they are the worse it is#the past year of western media's reporting on the genocide in palestine has done nothing if not highlight the incongruence#between what people see n share on the ground and what narratives corporate interests deem fit to disseminate through traditional channels#the importance of following independent (which does not equal 'unbiased') journalists has never been greater#4.) 'lazy minds and lack of empathy' empathy is not some bulwark against fascism. it can actually serve to further it quite easily#idk what OP is trying to get at here. lazy point = lazy response#5.) i can't say anything here that isn't summed up better by that tweet that's like#'american *sees something american happening americanly in america*: what are we a bunch of ASIANS?!?!???'#cause there's just nooo way politicians and public figures in the US could spew reactionary nonsense and get a huge following#unless the evil russians had a hand in it#cause it's not like the US is racism central or anything#come on now#(for those unaware i'm citing this tweet bc orientalism of this kind has historically been directed at russians/slavs in addition to#people from MENA and asian countries broadly)#6.) see point number 3 above; trying to police AI is a fruitless endeavor; people need media literacy in order to#understand the interests of the parties involved in the coverage of any event and better discern the truth about what's happening;#identifying the bias inherent to any news channel and then examining how that bias impacts its reporting does far more to help dispel#misinformation than just labeling anything you don't like or you think influences people the 'wrong' way as misinformation#anyway i'm done. clown.#sansgwilie

on this 1st anniversary of unreal unearth, we receive hozier yapping onstage for 10 minutes about hitting his head (and cillian murphy) while likely on an ungodly amount of cold meds.
#(and also first time live !!) which should be illegal without my their andrew i thought we’d discussed this#i would like to honor the tiktok comment ‘and i says to meself says i colm this no day for a do’ under the video#i did not think ‘and the grounds where i go’ was that literal#the one thing i have in common with him is adhd style storytelling#in all honestly i hope he can get some rest and feel better soon#the lad looked so sick#hozier#unreal unearth tour 2024

i lost the post but i saw someone talking about how some of y’all act like being weird is a choice and like. YEAHHHHHHH.
that’s fine, it might be for you. but i just live like this and don’t know any other way. like yeah i’ve worked customer service, i can do innocuous small talk, but anything beyond that, i don’t understand what i’m missing. and it’s frustrating to see the tonal disconnect especially from people who are like “uwu embrace weirdness!!” where they’re like. dressing quirky and talking about bugs and listening to obscure music and eschewing small talk to ask Deep Questions on the first date and unlearning their tendency to not infodump. and generally have an idea of what Weirdness is supposed to look like. idk man some of us wake up and get out of bed and can’t figure out why the rest of their coworkers chitchat with each other but when they join the conversation it dies.
weirdness is value neutral. let’s stop trying to turn it into a badge because quite frankly, it’s not a choice for everyone. it’s fucking exhausting to never be on the same wavelength as other people and they’re going to react the way they do and label you the way they will without any conscious actions on your end. it’s difficult to talk about this without feeling like you’ll be dismissed as immature, a teenager whining “no one understands me” but the thing is. sometimes you don’t grow out of feeling alone and different, and there’s no good way to talk about it without feeling like people will think you’re just fishing for pity.
#most of it is stuff i can’t help like!!!#coworkers and i don’t share a lot of interests so i’m always like. yes i’ve heard of that show but haven’t seen it. no idk that band sorry#and they’ll like. talk shit abt other people who share my interests without realizing that i also like those things#so i just have to sit there and take it#i feel like i don’t have a lot in common with my friends even. a few shared interests but very different lives#in my experience the conscious choice has been to try to keep up with what’s popular but it’s just. not interesting to me#i got bored and forgot to finish s2 of stranger things and never picked it back up#even alt subcultures have gone kinda mainstream and i never quite slot in#let’s not even touch the gay culture ‘flags’ that are extremely online and unrelatablr#and the most frustrating thing. every time i try to talk about myself and my interests i feel people shutting down#one person i know. open mouth sighs in exasperation when i open my mouth#i don’t know why you’re making it my problem that we’re different#i know there is supposed to be a niche out there for everyone but some of that feels like#those niches are falling prey to marketability. if you’re too far out of the mainstream. too out of touch. it can’t be helped#a lot of messaging online is like. embrace weirdness but only if it’s subversive in a very specific way#too normal to hang out with self-proclaimed proud weirdos. too weird to hang out with normies#like i thought the thing was to disavow performativity. i’m sorry i don’t find the same things interesting#i don’t care about the office and you don’t care about the hundred years’ war. that’s fine. why is that seen as a personal fault of mine#i feel like some of the reaction i get might be bc it comes across as hipster shit. idk#i’m literally just oblivious and looking for any kind of indicator for social interaction#but so often it feels like the onus of finding common ground is on me. i have to listen abt things idk but no one cares what i have to say#i think what makes it more frustrating is this reaction from people who claim to not care. do their own thing#and then get annoyed when i do mine and it’s. different#instead of being like ‘fuck the mainstream! conformity is bullshit! be yourself!’ it’s like#‘fuck the mainstream because it doesn’t appeal to me personally and i’ve made my own club!’#and this is not going to come out right because i’m just at my limit and venting and don’t know how to say things the right way#so people don’t misunderstand me#i just happen to never like the Right Things and know the Right Things and act the Right Way and idk how else to say it other than#can we be more normal about weird people#idk it’s hard to talk abt this without sounding like i’m just complaining but i’m more bewildered and trying to state things as i see them

The more I think about it the more I really feel like the recently coined term mesosex might fit me and it's been shared by several intersex education/advocacy blogs I follow now so I know there's support for the term but I'm still like. Scared I would be Intruding™ on intersex issues if I started using it. Like I mean. I'm an afab & (afaik) perisex person with a reproductive disorder that's likely caused by a (non-intersex) hormone imbalance which I'm now essentially having to take feminizing HRT to fix, and as a result I'm now growing tits and undergoing female-pattern fat redistribution at the age of 25 after years of having little to no secondary sex characteristics. I've always identified with intersex issues but now that I'm essentially having to undergo HRT to make my body match my asab that connection to intersex issues feels even stronger. And like that's what the term is for. But my anxiety is still like "but what if you're intruding tho" lol 🙃
#rambling#for the curious the specific disorder is endometriosis and recent research has shown that endo is most likely linked to#estrogen dominance which is where either your body makes too much estrogen OR not enough other hormones (progesterone & testosterone)#and given that the only thing that has helped me at all has been going on full progestin-only treatments#and the fact that everything ive researched about estrogen dominance and low progesterone matches up with my symptoms#it definitely seems like low/no progesterone is the issue for me#(although the docs didnt test my levels beforehand and now i cant get them tested unless i want to go off treatments 🥲)#and like. this progestin treatment has changed my fucking life. legitimately#like it didnt just stop my (pretty severe) endo it also fixed like. all of my physical health issues. stuff i didnt even know was related#dont wanna get off topic talking about my other health issues but. going on progestin has easily been the best health thing to happen to me#but it also feels so fucking weird to be going through the same type of changes that like transfems go through on hrt essentially#as an afab perisex person. its not a bad weird but like its just a strange phenomenon and it would be nice to put words to it i guess?#like im a person who has lived the last 10+ years disabled by a reproductive disorder that prevented my body from developing 'normally'#and now im going through feminizing hrt at the age of 25 to fix my reproductive disorder#thats not exactly like. the normal perisex afab experience lol. but at the same time my specific reproductive disorder and hormone imbalance#dont classify me as intersex (no hyperandrogenism just some mix of too much estrogen/not enough progesterone or testosterone#typical anatomy (afaik) aside from the uterine abnormalities resulting from endometriosis)#and its just. such a weird position to be in. i share a lot of common ground with intersex issues but im not intersex myself#and the whole purpose of mesosex was to create a word for people who arent quite either. 'people who identify with but not as intersex'#and i think that describes me. but also like.... do i count?? 😭#tmi#request to tag
