#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wen ning#wei wuxian#wen qing#jiang cheng#Truly Massive disclaimer here: I am a Jiang Cheng enjoyer. I like his character. I enjoy that he is very flawed and volatile.#This episode of the audio drama has a lot of great breakdown scenes featuring JC - and they all deserve a feature.#But underlying this comic is a small meta comment of 'ah man I have too many comics of JC just wailing sadly'#My goal is to draw 6-8 comics per episode - I sometimes have to truncate and cut good scenes out.#Especially when a large majority is just different flavours of trauma and toxic relationships to your self-worth.#I would also like to make a note here that just because you lose the ability to do something that is very tied to your core identity-#-does not mean your life is over. It will feel like the end of the world. It will send you into a spiral of grief. It will hurt so badly.#Sometimes we do not realize how tied up our identities can be in certain things until we are cut loose.#You don't lose yourself. I promise the pain will fade in time. I promise you will find other things to tether you. I promise you will be ok#Life moves forwards. Time moves forwards. You move forwards.#Ego death just means an opportunity for ego rebirth. You are never committed to being the same person forever.#To wrap this around to JC: Yeah I love the twist with the core transfer but man I would have loved to see JC accept the loss.#Obviously it happens for a reason (story) but I can have my AUs. I can have these 'what-ifs'.#described in alt text#I'm trying it out! *please* give me feedback - I want to eventually Add image ID to all of these comics one day

Fit: I'm going through a hard time right now. Things just haven't been the same since... he left. The light of my life.
Fit: [Looking at chat] That was a joke guys, I'm notā€“ I didn'tā€“ It's not meant to be angst, ok? It's a joke, it's a joke! It's a joke, c'mon! That was just too easy.
Fit: Yeah, I just thinkā€“ he's probably dead! You know? He's probably dead, but that's alright. I'll be dead soon too, so it's fine. [Looking at chat] Noā€“ I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm not meaning to be angsty, it's just a fckin' habit, ok? [Laughs] I just likeā€“ like a sleeper-agentā€“ There's something that activates in my brain that's just like, "You will do gay angst, NOW."

Fit's taken his character's separation anxiety to the next level. šŸ„€

TRANSCRIPT
Fit: [Reading chat] "Why does your look like a homeless? I'm scared" Oh, I'm sorry. Are you offended by my appearance, because I am unhoused at the moment? [Stares at the camera] Wow, that's reallyā€“ that's really insensitive of you. Alright?
Fit: I'm going through a hard time right now. Things just haven't been the same since... he left. The light of my life. But... it's justā€“ you know.
Fit: [Looking at chat] That was a joke guys, I'm notā€“ I didn'tā€“ It's not meant to be angst, ok? It's a joke, it's a joke! It's a joke, c'mon! That was just too easy, that was a fckin' layup! [Mimes throwing a basketball] That was a fckin' layup, and yā€“ [Laughs] Ah, c'mon guys, I'm just teasing ya.
Fit: Yeah, I just thinkā€“ he's probably dead! You know? He's probably dead, but that's alright. I'll be dead soon too, so it's fine. [Looking at chat] Noā€“ I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm not meaning to be angsty, it's just a fckin' habit, ok? [Laughs] It's just a fckin' habit! [Laughs] I justā€“ Yeah, I'm twistin' the knifeā€“ I'm just gettin' it in thereā€“ [Mimes twisting a knife] Like, "Get! Get!"
Fit: I'm sorry. I'm sorryā€“ it's my birthday. It's my birthday, you need to be nice to me on my birthday. Iā€“ I can say whatever I want on my birthday, ok?
Fit: [Reading chat] Yeah, "He can't help but roleplay gay angst." I know, I just likeā€“ as soon as I see like, the moon, under a starry Minecraft night sky, I just likeā€“ like a sleeper-agent, like MK Ultra, that just likeā€“ There's something that activates in my brain that's just like, "You will do gay angst, NOW."
[Later]
Fit: The stench is endearing, if anything. It's endearing. [Reading chat] "No wonder he left"?
[He dramatically clutches his chest like he's in pain, then leans out of frame]
Fit: I've said this: just because something is true does not mean you need to say it out loud! There is a time and a place, you require social awareness, I feel like. You lack social awareness right nowā€“ [He glances at chat] Am I blurry? God dammitā€“ Stream's going to hell in a hand basket. Let me- let me get into focus.

I think I'm in the "conscious incompetence" stage of being a social animal in the real world and it sucks so majorly. bro what do you do after you realize you're bad at socializing and then in-person interaction gets harder because you know you're failing at it now.
#Robin processes emotions on main#I WANT to get good at socializing#I used to be better and I'm now worse >:[#in some ways. in some ways I've improved (e.g. am kinder). but I used to have more confidence and an easier time staying present#now I'm always shutting down and running away#literally I leave the room and go calm down in my room#I want to learn to regulate that impulse and become a chill person to hang out with. but How#I've been struggling lately with punishing myself for running away (not physically but with like. spirals of self-recrimination)#I think one good step would be to get mindful about praising myself for small steps again. I'll change faster if im kinder to myself#also I think seeking reassurance from the people I'm around more often even if it seems silly would be good#ALSO. a major problem I'm facing is that I am living with my parents. and my little sisters. and I don't... I... it's rough.#I used to parent my 15 (then 9) y/o little sister when my parents were gone and I still struggle with feeling Responsible For Her#so every time she's a little cringe I end up feeling like it's my fault and I'm gonna be punished for it and I don't know how to deal with#ā€”how to deal with it#BIG SIGH#I'm TRYING to become a good adult who can help others rather than just living in desperate self-defensive survival mode forever#but it's so hard bro#and another issue is that I'm growing further and further apart from my parents' fundamentalist brand of Christianity#and feeling more and more incapable of making friends and bringing them to visit me. because I have to be perfect around my parents#how can I make friends if I can't offer them hospitality??#how can I be a fully realized adult if I have to hide in plain sight??#I need to move out so bad. even if I'm lonely at first I HAVE to move out#in related news my seasonal job is Over and I'm looking for full-time work! please pray for me if you're the praying type or just#send me encouraging words#that would help#<33333 I will be ok it's just a bad situation rn

Wizard 101: Hey kid, you just got pulled into Wizard School, and it looks like you're ready to start. Go down that path and someone will teach you to fight. Oh shit, that's Malistare, uhhhh, *one minor battle later* Good job kid. Go and do some little quests and beat up some fairies, you're doing great! :)
Pirate 101: You're in jail. Pirates are breaking you out of jail! They're... asking about your trauma. You're a pirate, an orphan, the son of a whore and a scotsman, you were raised by another group of people, now you're pulling a jail break and helping other prisoners escape! A uhhh, a guy threatens to murder you. He's the one who locked you up. The pirate guy almost dies and you have to drive his ship??? *one stressful sail later* Hey kid, go beat up this guy who stole from me. I'm gonna cheat and scam you, btw, just so you know. :)

Okay, my unread tumblr DMs have been haunting me for like two and a half years now and I hate it. I'm clicking through and dismissing the notifs without responding to (most) of them, because it's genuinely so late for all of them that it's weird if I do respond at this point. If I have accidentally ghosted you in DMs, I am 1.) so incredibly sorry and 2.) starting a new leaf. I am šŸ‘TAKING CONTROL OF MESSAGE ANXIETY!šŸ‘I HOPE! An attempt will be made!

#dino.txt#im gonna complain about 5 things at once and purposely make no sense#whats funny is ....i kinda hate this shit too#and before this i was already very tired...so šŸ¤” FR !!#i think at the end of the day it comes down to lack of prioritisation#i cant force people to do what they 'think' they want to do...yknow#i can bring forward all the plans i want but like...cant even make any fucking intiative#other than saying 'oh id love for us to do this'#i hateee this situation. i dont like it. i dont like anyone right now.#im mad at a lot of things#but i really cant be doing this shit after this. and i havent been! good on me! but thdn this will just flake out#cos everyone's a fucking manchild#but anyways. this is a lesson ive been taught over and over in life#i cannot place my happiness in the hands of others. i only have myself#i dont believe in living in solitude forever. i cant do it#i believe that things will always work out. but i cannot...invest in others. it doesnt work#i just have to focus on myself. i cant invest in other people šŸ˜‚ i cant protect other people. it cant always be my cross to carry#you would think a nigga named jesus...#and im so scared all the time but im also so numb#there's always a tradgedy around the corner#such is life sure. but ive never been allowed even like a brief respite. but maybe that is right now#i cant get to sleep. i cant get to sleep theres never enough time to be awake#everything is a waste of time. but yesterday i spent good time so#im okay. i hope i get this released this year. anyways. WHATEVER MAN!! ALL IS GOOD!! ONE STEP AT A TIME!!! SUCH IS LIFE!!#I will say. though i spiral im always good at picking myself back up#trauma and tradgedy are very familiar friends in my life#yknow. im just waiting.#im always waiting for the big one. there's always worse always#im waiting for the one big thing i cant come back from#but all i can do is look to the future

Y'know the fun thing abt how I've set up the society that the main stalien cast comes from is that even the most broad general trends across stalien societies tend to not apply to them. So everytime I yap about how most herds form and the general trends in their societies I just get to remember mid yapping that basically none of this will ever be evident or even come up in the main story. Damn isolated motherfuckers
#rat rambles#oc posting#eternal gales#Ive talked abt them before I think but long story short way back the area was both filled with a lot of different plantlife but also a lot#of animals including various predators and pests#and since the seasons in this region are a lost less comically opposed to eachother generally there was less diversity in terms of herd#specialties and migration cycles would tend to be on a smaller scale with less overlap between herds#as such one herd eventually went yknow what would be cool? if we just cut out the parts of the local ecosystem that annoyed us and caved in#the tunnels leading to the rest of the continents cave system so nothing we dont like gets in either!#which was such a bad idea they ofc immediately did it and were faced with about a billion crisis's over the course of forever because of it#starting with the overpopulation problem which lead to them bleeding into the surface and leading into the still ongoing famine#plus again like a bilion other problems over the course of a couple centuries#a lot of the fucked up shit going on in their society all are bandaid fixes to the bandaid fixes to the bandaid fixes of the original chaos#in particular theyre currently being hit hard by their corpse crisis thats been rapidly getting worse and worse#man if only there were organisms that specifically evolved to be able to assist with the breaking down and decomposition of stalien bodies#oh well. anyways lets kill more kids to solve this Im sure that will go well#again cannot emphasize enough that this society has been in an almost comical downward spiral for centuries its Bad#theres a lot more to it on a political level ofc but generally speaking most of the modern day struggles of this society stem from that#initial decision to gut the local ecosystem#now to be abundantly clear. this isnt the only society where shit is fucked. its not like the rest of stalienkind all live in utopias#plus the reason this society is so comically distopian is because well. its kind of on the verge of collapse.#with the way things are going they really dont have much more than a century or so at most before things fully cave in on themselves#technology has been allowing them to hang on by a thread but the ever growing food and general resoruce shortages have eaten away at the#foundations for so long that they again really don't have long before things start going Really badly#starvation is already carving at the working class and they aren't getting enough population intake to keep things up as they are#so either things will need to be wildly reformed like within the decade or shit is going to hit the fan real hard#to be clear Im sure the population wont be completely wiped out but the current society will be dead and gone#again not like right this second but likely within the next century#it wont be overnight but it sure will suck real bad for everyone#so yeah. a real downer but at least we wont have to watch all that happen in the comic. we can say its up to interpretation.

brain got a little too serious w suicidiation as a coping mechanism over the years, so now i can't hold onto any motivation or desire to move forward. it's me and the "i can leave life when i want to" (due to any minor inconvenience or discomfort) against the world

after parsing through A Walk Amongst Tombstones Iā€™m having so many fucking visceral thoughts about this sorry man. and itā€™s not worth it, heā€™s - heā€™s sappy, forced, fucked, centuries of natural selection disregarded for reckless survival, ostensibly inherently self-destructive. ostensibly, because Kakavasha is scared, chassis wrecked with shudders and lacquered in gold.
they donā€™t see the other hand below the table, clutching your chips for dear life.
the line that gets me the most, though, is - ā€œHow could a weak person take such daring risks?ā€ because I donā€™t know what he means to imply here. that a strong person would take such daring risks? maybe not the dichotomy; maybe a fool, maybe a sick gambler. over and over, maybe Iā€™ve gone insane.
All or nothing. but you, you want to give everything. throw it all onto the table, smile insipid as youā€™ve learned to do. a sagacious merchant, this loquacious, ostentatious snake of a man, slick with sneers and extols. and the hand under the table clutches his chips for dear life. may all your schemes be concealed.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
is this correct enough? I donā€™t know if itā€™s for care, but Kakavasha might want to be seen. does it help enforce that iconographic version of him? Is it what Aventurine would do? not live, not preserve, but succeed in death. It was how it would always be. All or nothing. Aventurine needs to be reckless, he needs to smolder, he needs to grovel, he needs to give it all and lose it all and win, even if he isnā€™t at the table. even if his cards are dealt by an empty hand - he will win, and he wonā€™t go home. he doesnā€™t have one.
In this dulcet dream of tenebrous schemes, he will go out with a bang. rain jewels, rain carmine blood. everyone will see. youā€™ll be the closing act, the final sacrifice. you will burn bright, and sear yourself as the forever capricious image in their heads, never known in the end, and you will want it that way. may your schemes forever be concealed; unto, and after, Death.

utterly adore how Gale likes to use big smart words, wave his hands around like a professor, make smug facial expressions, and walk about like he's already a god of magic yet the moment he catches some feelings towards Tav he's a flustered schoolboy who can no longer properly articulate his mind and not to mention when you ask him to kiss you he just gives you the cutest little peck? and when it comes down to laying some pipe mans ready to summon the most bombastic magical VR experience you ever saw just to avoid the dreaded doing of the sex IRL because Gale of Waterdeep The Magnanimous The Allpowerful The All-Knowing ex-boyfriend of Mystra is in reality a shy little guy who has no damn idea how romance works and for that i will forever love him

Wrote an essay describing in detail what it feels like to be triggered, be exposed to one said trigger, miss assignments and feel lost over assignments that are due in a few hours due to previous poor mental health (triggers in themselves), currently on period, no therapy for several weeks, still adjusting to new packed schedule. No fucking wonder I feel like shit.

who: @cinnamonfm
where: g's rave
charlie could say she wasn't particularly competitive, but who was she kidding? she liked to win, and she liked even more to gloat. "didn't think this would quite be your scene," she sauntered over to heni with a knowing grin. "although you have been surprising me lately." what was wrong with a little teasing?
