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

Smiles big and wide wouldn’t it be funny if Rusty when REALLY inebriated/high/whatever calls Hank every name but his own. whatever person Hank reminds him of at the time but spills every single story and honest thought to him vs remembering Dean name but not listening to Dean worried comments of taking care of himself and pushes ideas of grandeur wouldn’t that be fun.
it technically happened in canon how Hank learns about Dermontt, how fucked up do you think Rusty needs to be to call Hank Dad for chastising him in that cheerful way Hank normally does killing the vibe instantly. I think it would be funny
#venture bros#vbros#figuring out Hank angst is just things that happen to him vs Dean angst things that are internalized#is it evil I can find the similarities of jonas in hank and Dean#I think a common thread for parents like Rusty is even when you have a sort of okay ground with them#they do something to remind you that they really didn’t grow into being an adult that you can count on#like they didn’t grow up period they are still the version of this kid that you are now older than and you can’t do anything about tbh#rusty has changed but it wasn’t because he’s a parent it’s just stuff has happened to require the change#it’s not about his boys it’s about him and I do like how vbros in the context of cape things used being a parent#as a way to say Rusty doesn’t have this big moment of oh I’m a father that makes him snap out of this immaturity he is still immature#bc the premise of his life is deeply immature#so no being a father although proud and personal isn’t the changing point but he has changed#still think he would do some shitty stuff though

hating harry potter really is going to become the next 'reblog to make a terf mad!', isn't it?
#should we throw a party?#should we invite hunter schafer?#this isn't even me being a former potterhead this is just that the quality of the books has nothing to do with rowling's beliefs#i also think there's an assumption at play that people who liked harry potter were starved of other better literature#and...i wasn't#i read helen cresswell and jacqueline wilson and terry pratchett and loved it all#i just also enjoyed harry potter and that was how i found common ground with a lot of friends i made as a kid#this is maybe a personal rant#anyway the point is i care about supporting trans people more than i care about harry potter#but i feel like perhaps some people care more about hating harry potter more than they care about supporting trans people

@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

Assigning the modern Assassins pokemon for fun.
Desmond has a Rufflet from growing up as an Assassin. It becomes a Braviary much much later. He also has a Pidove from New York. Or the equivalent. Depending on how one handles physical locations. It evolves into a Tranquill to find him when he gets kidnapped, and an Unfezant sometime later.
Lucy has a Golurk, whose line is... not common, but sought after by both Assassins and Templars. Pokemon created in ancient times with technology that people don't understand and energy that seems impossible. They are Isu things. She also has a Gardevoir (or earlier evo) from being at Abstergo. She used to have a Rufflet, but Bill took it from her when they cut her off from the Assassins for undercover work.
Speaking of the Rufflet. Clay had a Rufflet given to him by Bill, who evolved into Braviary during the ceremonial leap of faith. That Rufflet used to be Lucy's. It didn't go with Clay to Abstergo, and seeing Lucy (who it perceives as abandoning it) coming back without him, it blames her. Also, Shaun wonders if it has any relation to the old Hisui Braviary, because it seems to have an attachment to Desmond based on his... mental interactions with Clay? Its unclear.
As for Rebecca and Shaun, besides probably Bravuary and Rotom, I'm not sure yet.
#desmond miles#clay kaczmarek#lucy stillman#assassins creed#assassin's creed#not doctor who#rose rambles#knife boys#the american assassins have braviary bc eagle#abstergo has an affinity for psychic types (mind control)#and electric types (control over the tech sector + good against the Assassins birds)#as a result the Assassins probably also have some ground types and pokemon good against psychic types around#which the Golurk line handles nicely. They just aren't necessarily common.#also pawniards. i love giving people pawniards. the assassins would happily have people work with those little chess pieces :)#people in other regions probably have other pokemon#like Staraptor for some Assassins and w/e. other big birds.#but I don't think we've had anything like an italian or middle eastern region#which makes Ezio and Altaïr a little harder to place birds with.

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

2025 reads / storygraph
Love Points To You
YA contemporary coming of age
an artist struggling to get used to the idea of moving in with her new stepmother & stepsister can't wait to go away to art school
when her ipad is destroyed, her rich classmate offers to buy her a replacement in exchange for concept art for an otome game she’s developing, and as they work on the game, they start to fall for each other
while she tries to get used to her new family situation, and the fact that her parents seem to be more invested in her stepsister’s future while ignoring hers
bi ace MC, bi demi LI
#Love Points To You#aroaessidhe 2025 reads#asexual books#sapphic books#demisexual books#I thought this was pretty good overall!#It’s very much a coming of age kind of story with as much focus on her family relationship as the romance which I appreciate.#I like how their romance developed pretty casually into dating rather than being all in love all of a sudden#- and all the moments of bonding over otome games and both being acespec and both speaking Mandarin#I like how the conflicts with her stepsister/art rival/family etc were quite grounded and mostly resolved (semi) maturely#and not all overblown into drama despite Lynda’s petty explosive personality.#( and honestly; love some girls who are kinda petty and pretentious and stubborn and oblivious)#That is - until the end she kinda fucks up with everyone and pretty quickly realises she’s in the wrong; I feel like it was a bit overdone?#I understand why she felt and acted that way but it was all very fast paced and a bit of a contrast to the rest of the book#where things were handled with more nuance and maturity.#And oh my god if you found out that a potential investor wants you to change the game’s pairing to straight#why would you not think that’s a dealbreaker? like how could you have any other reaction? I know she realises she was wrong to#react that way pretty much immediately but it felt a little too much like it was there to create a conflict rather than being natural#My favourite part of the book was her developing friendship with her stepsister. made me tear up fr#(this also backtracks a little at the end with the final conflict in a way that felt a little overdone but whatever)#I put some specific art opinions and asexual opinions in my storygraph review (in link above) but a main point for each lol:#She has a sticker shop that’s mentioned a few times but no details…. is this via print or demand or is making/sending them herself#because that's a MASSIVE amount of admin that I'd expect to see depicted in some form. i have experience. lol#Generally speaking I liked the depiction of asexuality she already identifies as such and it’s not brought up all the time#but it does effect how she interacts with the world / thinks about people from time to time#- her dad says “even though you're not interested in dating this applies to you too” & she thinks: “I'm asexual not dead"#- which.. oof. unnecessarily arophobic. I know it’s probably unintentional on the author’s part and I’m used to brushing that aside#- because it’s so common in romance books but I’m gonna be honest it soured my opinion on the rest of the book a bit.#it also felt at odds with her otherwise having various anti-amatonormative thoughts and feelings about various things.#that and the slightly too much conflict in the very end i didn't love but everything else about the book i thought was rly good

in a class this term about literary awards where we read only winners of a specific award and i'll be honest i straight up cannot read another book where they use disability as a metaphor
#also i'm gonna be even more honest award-bait novels have patterns as much as award-bait movies#and like almost every queer award-bait novel follows a few specific beats and it's obvious if you read a lot of them#so when one of my classmates is like 'oh this breaks new ground' i'm like oh so you don't read any books about gay and/or trans people huh#we also read a book by a diaspora author set during the cultural revolution and i was like it's well done but i've read this before#and in the classroom it became VERY obvious that no one had much familiar with chinese-north american literature#this is not to say that gay or trans or chinese diaspora novels are all the same#just that if you're really gunning for a literary award there are some common moves that juries like and recognize#anyway back to the point why does every author who wins this specific award write in like a blind character whose blindness grants them#greater insight into the truth of the world#like had that trope of disability as metaphor not been played out already in antiquity#can we not think complexly about lived experiences of disability in this day and age#don't even get me STARTED on authors who use hearing loss or deafness to talk about the slipperiness or deceptiveness of language#what if we used hearing loss or deafness to talk about how abled people value their own convenience over disabled people's needs or humanity#what if we did that! okay im done i'll probably delete this i just got pissed off#personal nonsense

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

Tbh it’s better for both Solange and the Bishops that she doesn’t keep them in her Flock bc if she did keep them around their stay wouldn’t be exactly pleasant
She’s not sadistically torturing them or anything but rather the bishops end up ostracized from most of the Flock due to Solanges influence ( both intentionally and otherwise ) and bc a good chunk of her followers were former worshippers that were fucked over by them in some way or another ( an example being that Ellena was part of Leshys cult and was planned to be sacrificed after her parents made a deal with Leshy that he’d take her instead of the initial planned sacrifice ( one of her siblings ) ) so they don’t wouldn’t have the most positive reputation among Solanges followers ( I feel like some followers would be hostile/violent towards the bishops too )
I also don’t think she’d be willing to take any of them ( outside of Shamura ) to their temples either, I mean she literally only cleansed Shamura for the possibility of closure from them specifically along with them being the one she dislikes the least. She does not need to waste her energy on the other 3 as two of them are actively hostile towards her ( Leshy and Heket ) and the other she holds so much contempt for that she almost refuses to even find his relic ( Kallamar )
Solange also wouldn’t exactly care if they died either ( with the exception of Shamura since I do feel like she’d be concerned for their physical and mental wellbeing even if it’s only out of being a decent person ( plus her moral ocd ) rather than genuine concern but with the others she could kinda care less if they died out on a missionary or during a brawl gone wrong ). Granted it does depend on her relationship with Narinder bc if they’re on decent terms I think Solange would at least try to care
So basically the Bishops would be kinda miserable until their eventual death ( which would be a couple centuries later so it’d be a long time )
In particular Heket would be the most miserable out of the 4 bc I feel like she’d refuse to adapt or accept her fate ( I think that’s kinda canonish with the hymns of the unholy ). Like with the other 3 I can see them possibly adapting to their new lives or at the very least finding some sort of peace but with Heket I just can’t see it. Doesn’t help that Heket and Solanges relationship would be fucking awful ( like you think Solange and Narinders dynamic postgame before they find common ground is bad then Heket and Solanges dynamic is like 10x worse especially bc I feel like it takes longer for Heket to get worn down by Solange and they never find any common ground with eachother )
#cosmic chatz#cult of the lamb#also I don’t think most of the bishops even would want to be in Solanges proximity either#like Kallamar is genuinely terrified of Solange#not helped by the fact Solange is aware of his fear of her and actively plays into it bc she’s petty and immature#Leshy is kind of a weird spot bc like Solange definitely doesn’t like him#but she can’t rlly bring herself to hold the same contempt for him like with Heket and Kallamar#mainly due to the fact they do have some sort of common ground in the fact they were made gods at a young age#so they can kinda relate to eachother#also I think Leshy actually is the more willing to adapt#granted it takes a bit bc he is bitter abt everything but like somewhere down the line he’d be like fuck it and just vibe#and Solange and Shamuras relationship is very complicated#like really complicated

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
