every time I say āstarting nooooow I wonāt have any major expensesā something HAPPENS! thereās raw sewage backing up from my drains, and apparently the plumbers will need to break the floor and the wall to get to the pipes and fix it.
if the cat stuff hadnāt wiped out my bank account, this would be annoying but manageable. as it isā¦..Iām going to try to get everything up in the store for Friday.
#itās hard because Iām trying not to push myself too hard with mono#the nerve damage stuff is scary#so Iām doing my best to have a zen attitude about all these goings on#but like another surprise 3.5k expense?? how is anyone supposed to live in this world?#there will reach a point where Iām forced to sell this house.#because I donāt know how much longer I can do this all#sorry to be nothing but complaints recently. but things have been hard!

just to be completely clear, the amount of military power and political influence Israel has has NOTHING to do with its settlers being Jewish. Israel is a force for American & European interests in the region and they're just doing what America does and allows/encourages its close allies to do.
war crimes aren't considered war crimes when someone America finds useful is doing them. european and american pushback against anyone criticizing Israeli apartheid & genocide is 100% because these crimes are useful to American & European hegemony.
Governments that are deeply antisemitic, like France, aren't suddenly caring about Jewish people. Jewish people, persecuted the world over, don't hold some kind of hegemonic power outside of Israel.
The state of Israel and its attendant brutal treatment of the locals are both incredibly useful to the US, and American hegemony means we're expected to celebrate both.
not bc they're Jewish. this isn't a break in the pattern of western antisemitism and it's not evidence that antisemitism doesn't exist.
it's just like how you could get fired for saying shit against the US war in Afghanistan when i was growing up. it is 100% about US military and political interests (ok slightly western europe too but lbr)
#this widespread support has NOTHING to do w Israelis being Jewish apart from evangelicals wanting to use them as pawns for armageddon#the primary reason this is all being treated like it's ok is cuz it's useful to the usa#i feel like this post is going to bring terrible ppl into my inbox but i'm gonna leave it rebloggable for now#if our (US+EU) governments push back at all it will be because it stops being useful to us#either because Israel isn't doing this as quickly & efficiently as promised and it looks like Palestine might actually do some damage#or if it otherwise becomes too politically costly by causing too much tension between the US & other nationstates#either allies like Saudi or if states we aren't quite ready to have war w seem to be ready to throw down over it

the machine.
a comic about being a 'creator' online.
creative notes:
#in light of recent online 'success' i feel like this may come off as ungrateful#just wanna say that all the comics i make in this series are written about experiences i felt in 2022#which was a rough year personally and creatively#and i very luckily don't feel this way anymore#and this also isnt to shame anyone who DOES feel this way#its easy to start to feel like all you are is a vending machine of art#and like thats all you are to people#theres nothing human to you#it can be a bit of a pit#and on some level this damage is self inflicted but social media really doesnt help that feeling#this wont work for everyone but having friends around you who you can talk to about stuff that ISNT art#going outside for dinner#maybe walking around#its good for when you need that feeling to go away even a bit temporarily#youre a human being#not a mindless content creation machine#and i hope anyone who feels like this now can get to a place where they have a healthier relationship with their own work#good luck to all of you#and thank you for reading#comic art#its 10pm#stillindigo art

Gray and Graysons
One of the Bats has a secret. Something they never told to the others.
They were so very young but they have memories of a sibling, so small and tiny. They remember the burst of warmth they had in their heart when they held the tiny baby for just a moment.
But they werenāt allowed to keep them, their family couldnāt raise them. Money was tight, just enough for three but not for four, despite their shows always bringing in a crowd it was getting harder and harder for the world to be wowed by them in the new age and their sibling was too small and tiny and needed to be cared in a single place than for them to be on the road. Their lifestyle was not good for his tiny sibling apparently.
They had to watch as their parents gave his sibling away to people in suits, them promising to give his baby brother to a loving family when they find a āhomeā for him. He watched his parents try to be strong only for his mother to break down once the car left down the road, his father holding her and apologizing, the rest of the circus troupe all silently coming over to give the heartbroken family condolences.
Richard āDickā Grayson had tears running down his face when he last saw his baby brother.
A brother he got to name before he had to be given away.
Daniel āDannyā Grayson.
-x-x-
Dick never told the others. If anyone dug deep into his past they might find his brotherās birth records maybe, if someone got around to digitizing the paperwork for him but given the fact he was placed in the US childcare systems just a few days after his birth and the fact that Dick was still pretty young they most likely believed he didnāt remember his baby brother now. Not after so many years.
But they were wrong, Dick remembers. And he kept the secret close to his heart and memories.
And the only physical evidence he had was a single picture of him holding his brother, a smile on his tiny face towards their father who had taken the photo of them together. When he had lost his parents, lost most of the things that connected him to them, to his past in the circus that had been his whole life, had been taken from him in Gothamās ruthless childcare system, he held on tight to the picture in secret. Hid it away from anyone trying to rip it from him, hid it from Bruce when the man took him in days later, hid it from Alfred despite how gentle the butler was towards him. He couldnāt, wouldnāt risk losing his photo at the time, he hadnāt trusted anyone and by the time he did he didnāt have the heart to reveal it.
So yes, the existence of his baby brother Danny was his most guarded and best kept secret.
So thatās why Dick, as Nightwing, nearly died from a heart attack when leaving a Justice League meeting he spotted a familiar face among one of the new engineers working in the Watchtower.
It was like seeing a young version of himself. Only, Dick could see that the young man was more than a copy of him, so much more than a clone. He held many traces of John Grayson but also had a bit more of Mary Grayson than Dick did. Small details that Dick foggely remembers taking note when he had held his baby brother.
āHey, hurry up with that report Gray!ā Shouted the head engineer from down the hall, his hand beckoning the young adult to come over.
āComing! And boss, I told you Danny is fine!ā Danny shouted back before hurriedly leaving a stunned Nightwing.
#danny phantom#danny fenton#crossover#dp x dc#blue rambles#danny phantom dc#writing ideas#random idea#dpxdc#Danny and Dick are siblings#Danny is a space engineer#he worked hard and now gets to be in space#dick grayson#Dickās parents couldnāt care for Danny because of money and the fact he was tiny#they wanted him but couldnāt keep him#his paperwork got a tiny bit lost and damaged before it got digital#so there isnāt much for either brothers to find each other#Dick did look but found next to nothing about where his brother went#Danny still had the original papers but the papers got damaged bad and his last name is a little lost#he knows itās Gray something#small what if in this AU but what if he married Val and took her last name#and later finds his old papers and is teased he was always meant to be a Gray some way#BUT he doesnāt have to married in this#just a tiny what if#BUT he has changed his last name to Gray after a bad fall out with he Fentonās#it wasnāt even because of him being a half ghost or even because of Vlad#nope it was because he didnāt want to be ghost hunter

#tumblr woke up today and chose violence against me personally#also my personal style evokes the 1930/40s sometimes and that's about it there is nothing victorian in there#if you don't know fashion history that's fine but like... this comment has over a 200 year contradiction with itself#and is even further off given the era I *do* dress from#compliment accepted but lord the psychic damage

i bring a sort of "the jedi lost the second they went to war using a slave army" vibe to "the jedi wouldve won the war and things would've been perfect if this one dude hadn't fucked it up" posts that jedi discourse bloggers don't really like
#hm i wonder what a franchise heavily inspired by an unwinnable war that a major power only entered out of sheer hubris#and which caused unfathomable damage before ending embarrassingly for said major power#might be saying by having the jedi fight for years in an unwinnable war that goes against their principles#and results in them being betrayed by their own tools of destruction#probably nothing major . now back to questioning why the former child slave couldn't suck it up and be normal#star wars

thinking about how Humans Are Space Orcs stories always talk about how indestructible humans are, our endurance, our ability to withstand common poisons, etc. and thats all well and good, its really fun to read, but it gets repetitive after a while because we aren't all like that.
And that got me thinking about why this trope is so common in the first place, and the conclusion I came to is actually kind of obvious if you think about it. Not everyone is allowed to go into space. This is true now, with the number of physical restrictions placed on astronauts (including height limits), but I imagine it's just as strict in some imaginary future where humans are first coming into contact with alien species. Because in that case there will definitely be military personnel alongside any possible diplomatic parties.
And I imagine that all interactions aliens have ever had up until this point have been with trained personnel. Even basic military troops conform to this standard, to some degree. So aliens meet us and they're shocked and horrified to discover that we have no obvious weaknesses, we're all either crazy smart or crazy strong (still always a little crazy, academia and war will do that to you), and not only that but we like, literally all the same height so there's no way to tell any of us apart.
And Humans Are Death Worlders stories spread throughout the galaxy. Years or decades or centuries of interspecies suspicion and hostilities preventing any alien from setting foot/claw/limb/appendage/etc. on Earth until slowly more beings are allowed to come through. And not just diplomats who keep to government buildings, but tourists. Exchange students. Temporary visitors granted permission to go wherever they please, so they go out in search of 'real terran culture' and what do they find?
Humans with innate heart defects that prevent them from drinking caffeine. Humans with chronic pain and chronic fatigue who lack the boundless endurance humans are supposedly famous for. Humans too tall or too short or too fat to be allowed into space. Humans who are so scared of the world they need to take pills just to function. Humans with IBS who can't stand spicy foods, capsaicin really is poison to them. Lactose intolerance and celiac disease, my god all the autoimmune disorders out there, humans who struggle to function because their own bodies fight them. Humans who bruise easily and take too long to heal. Humans who sustained one too many concussions and now struggle to talk and read and write. Humans who've had strokes. Humans who were born unable to talk or hear or speak, and humans who through some accident lost that ability later.
Aliens visit Earth, and do you know what they find? Humanity, in all its wholeness.
#humans are space orcs#humans in space#earth is a deathworld#earth is space australia#tagging this so that ppl can find it even though the space shit i write about always feels like its in direct opposition to all the pop tag#also my biggest pet peeve in all of writing - all writing. everywhere. not just in fanfic but books and tv and movies too - is when people#write off an injury by saying something like 'oh nothing bad just a couple of scratches some bruising and a minor concussion' like girl WHA#MiNOr ConCuSSioN is such an oxymoron and I hate it so fucking much. like i dont care how minor it was thats still brain damage.#especially when the same character does this more than once. like im sorry ms. but uh. you can no longer read. or talk eloquently. sorry#evidence: my brother has had two 'minor' concussions and now cannot read write or speak without tremendous effort. And like its totally#ruined my ability to watch action shows/movies because now i just sit there and count how many concussions there characters are getting#after a certain point it becomes totally impossible to believe that these guys are able to function. (still fun to watch tho im not a hater

Shen Yuan's life would have actually been far more difficult if he was the only transmigrator. Instead of airplane, he would have been dealing with an active and malicious spy who would not have hesitated to take advantage of him and his situation.
Either he believes the entire amnesia story or picks up that SY is an imposter. Maybe even both. He believes the amnesia first but then realizes something more is going on when he tries to take advantage of the so-called "amnesia."
Whatever the case, Shen Yuan's life would have gone from easy mode to medium or even outright hard.
#idea dump#ramblings of a sleep deprived girl#mxtx svsss#svsss#scum villian self saving system#shen yuan#shang qinghua#original shang qinghua#People seem to forget that he was a very competent and effective spy#he would have sabotaged SY every chance he got because OG SQH would have seen him as a weakness to exploit#The sect tactician with amnesia? prime time to take them out at their most vulnerable#A peak lord has dramatically changed into a completely different person but no one really seems to care enough to investigate further?#political crisis and damaged reputations when exposed at the right time#he also would have noticed how SY treats LBH and wonder what was so special about him#you can't tell me he wouldn't try to manipulate and take advantage of a LBH fresh out of the abyss#the more I think about it the more I realize how terrifying OG SQH could have been#nothing is more terrifying than a villain with a brain#SY would have been cooked facing off against a competent spy like OG SQH#system or no system

all that pain, and humiliation was for nothing. trying to find emotional relief through her faith, and yet she is still hurting. Losing herself through her āharshā actions (as a mother would!) for the sake of the safety of her children ā¦ will be and always was for nothing. The bubble of dissociation and denial popped by the one person she wanted for herself from the beginning. Doomed by the narrative, no matter how hard she tried to change it. :(
#reminds me of that quote from bojack horseman#when Diane said itās just damage and I have nothing to show for it#not the same context but the vibe is there#Alicent deserves better and itās soon going to crash on her#this realization this acknowledgment that none of this pain has any justification#itās just damage and her and her children were the collateral damage#from men who just wanted to use her#the sacrifical lambs!#alicent hightower#house of the dragon

I just realized that Riku's hand visibly shakes when he tenses his fingers and wrist during his idle animation.
#kingdom hearts 2#kh2#riku#video#i always feel bad for him when i see how he keeps his thumb hooked in his pocket as he walks. how he doesn't walk comfortably#it's clear he sustained a pretty nasty injury from roxas but#it's pretty alarming to see a kh character suffer from an ACTUAL injury yknow?#sora gets beat up left and right but it's nothing a little potion can't fix#it's not like jumping down from a building will break his legs or being stomped on by a huge heartless causes any lasting damage#video game characters can brush all that off and keep going#but i look at riku and i want to take him to the hospital#even more now that i see that he's in visible pain when he has to fight#also ignore the sounds of goofy in the background lol

i think the most frustrating part about tbosas is the fact that you want to root for coryo. you want him to be a better man for lucy gray. you want him and sejanus to become closer, to become the best friends sejanus believes them to be. you want him to run away and find a way to relearn all the oppressive and tyrannical ideals the capitol instilled in him.
but thatās not what happens.
coriolanus isnāt necessarily a good person. heās not a bad person either, not yet, but heās no where near good. and rather than try to be good, he gives up, he lets himself āgo badā, he rats out sejanus, he lets his anger get the best of him and loses lucy gray.
the idea that coryo could be a good person but chooses not to be is exactly the reason this book and this character are brilliant.
#idk if this comes across the way i wanted it to#i am in no way excusing his actions at all please do not think i am#he has done unimaginable things and damage and has caused so much horror#but the idea isnāt that heās evil because thereās nothing else to be#he CHOOSES it#thatās what makes him even worse#the ballad of songbirds and snakes#tbosas#coriolanus snow#suzzane collins#lucy gray baird#sejanus plinth#iām pretty sure people have made this connection but#i just wanted to add my two cents#suzanne collins is a genius

For me, I think the worst part of the Skully being dead theory being true is the fact that Yuu and Company don't remember what happens in the book adventures. They can carry on like nothing happened except for the vague desire to go to the beach or something that they can't explain, but thats about it.
Skully is gone, and has been for a long time. He's an obscure figure in twst, any portraits of him are super rare now. There is no one to remember him. And yeah, it's because he didn't want to be in the spotlight, but it's not about circulating his story and image. It's about remembering our friend, being happy he lived his dream and the mark he left behind. Funerals, memorials, doing things to honor the people that passed aren't for the dead, they're for the living that misses them. And Yuu doesn't really get to do that, they can't really celebrate/do something on Halloween to honor Skully because it's like he never existed to them. There's no one to remember him on this day he made so beloved by the world over. And that's so sad.
@mangacupcake @writing-heiress @fair-night-starry-tears @the-weirdos-mind
#plus im also thinking of Coco#and how in that movie the dead die a second time when there is no one left to remember them and no images of them are up to honor them#one day that portrait at nrc might be damaged and unsalvageable and that's it#there will be nothing left of Skully J Graves#i know thats not to our knowledge how the afterlife works in twst#but still#happy halloween#twisted wonderland#twst skully#skully j graves#twst lost in the book#lost in the book with tim burton's the nightmare before christmas
