Okay challenge mode. You are a therapist and Eridan Ampora from Homestuck has just walked right out of his intro page into your office. How do you fix him?
put him and karkat in a room with a pile of stuff and tell them they can't leave until they've jumped into it and talked about their feelings
#realtalk therapy doesnt work unless the person getting the therapy puts in the effort to make it work#eridan starts the comic in complete and utter denial that he's in need of help#so there's really nothing i nor any stranger could do about that#HOWEVER he does talk to karkat often about his feelings (and vice versa) and#the reason they didnt hang out during the game seems to be#1) they were on separate teams and didnt realize the teams were the same team until later on#2) by then it was too late and eridan had aggro'd all his angels#3) gamzee was deliberately keeping eridan away from karkat and vice versa (likely bc gamzee had a palecrush on kk)#4) karkat was too busy falling victim to his own insecurities abt being a leader to pay attention to his actual friendships#4a) eg. it shouldve been the time player doing the frog hunt with kanaya & not the blood player#like im not saying moirallegiance with karkat would have fixed all of eridans problems but i am saying#what eridan really needed was a friend who took his problems seriously and could see past his bullshitting#and karkat already WAS that friend - they just never hung out#so by the time the meteor rolls around eridan has spent WEEKS feeling abandoned anxious and alone on his death planet#and karkat has gotten used to not thinking about eridan too much#so karkat - who is basically eridans only actual friend at that point - isnt able to get through to him & eridan snaps#like the thing about sburb/homestuck is that it really stresses the importance of friendship and working together#letting each other help with each others' problems#thats why the smallest viable game is still two people by necessity#so when we see things like gamzee snapping or eridan snapping or vriska snapping#as much as these are the 'fault' of the person snapping they also need to be viewed as comprehensive team failures#the people who should have spent the game together didnt and the people who shouldnt have spent the game together did#vriska was allowed to bully tf outta tavros and nobody intervened#eridan was left all alone and nobody tried to help him#and everybody was mean to gamzee and nobody tried to connect with him#and you know whose job it is to make sure the right people are hanging out together? the blood player#and unfortunately our blood player was so insecure that he was doing jobs that werent his to do#im not saying pale erikar would fix homestuck but i am saying pale erikar is a symptom of things being fixed in homestuck

less of horrordust eating face and killer watches more of them mauling eachother. also killer watches
#horrordust need more beef smh#triglycercule werent you just months ago saying you loved domestic horrordust#a man can believe in two statements and have both of them be true#dust wants to be punished for what he did. horror doesn't. they both try to drag eachother down in the process#killer is a third entity entirely. arent they all seperate entities. yes but he's different for some reason idk#killer has that feeling of zoning out mid trio hang out but the other 2 guys keep chilling without you and it's lowkey nice#killer i love trios because i can just dissociate and stare at a tree while they entertain eachother sans#the horrordust beef would be mutual in my eyes WHAT DO YOU MEAN DUST HATES KILLER BUT DISMISSES HORROR#are we talking about the same horror here. the same horror that tricked his papyrus into feeding and eating human meat#the same horror that tricked HIS ENTIRE SNOWDIN into eating humans#the same horror that purposefully taunts and plays around with the humans he kills#the same horror that is KNOWN for being manipulative and unnecessarily cruel for no fucking reason#yeah dust would hate the shit out of him highkey#both of them have which one of us was justified in what we did competitions#winner: NOBODY (it's killer it's killer that ends up winning that fight)#i mean horror would hate dust too i feel like this one is more obvious#KILLING papyrus. KILLING the underground. not being able to withstand the resets instead of choosing to kill#oh horror would be so fucking insensitive about resets to dust and killer#hes never experienced it he wouldnt know how bad it was and him being him....... he's gonna be a DICK#i think horror would hate the concept of phantom papyrus too because like#it's proof that dust did kill paps and for some reason he likes this FAKE version more than the real thing????#dust should be sadder about killing paps in horror's eyes (technically EYE but wtvr)#they maul eachother and also eat face is the hidden 3rd part of this post. and this time killer joins#tricule rant#killer sans#horror sans#dust sans#murder time trio#utmv#sans au

i get so disappointed thinking about how close ff was to having another revolutionary female character with jill but they just had to fuck it up by taking away damn near all her plot relevance and screentime once her revenge arc finished 😭
#they benched one of the coolest characters and for what!!!#major spoilers in the tags for anyone who hasnt finished the game but#jill's arc about her killing her abuser was fantastic but the moment she kissed clive its like the devs stopped caring about her#excluding her from the final fight when she'd been right by clive's side since almost the beginning is so lame like actually#and excusing it by saying that she couldnt call on shiva anymore when dion was clearly still able to do summon bahamut was just. urgh. why#just bc doing so wouldve been dangerous and likely led to her death? as if clive and joshua werent obviously going on a suicide mission anw#i wouldve preferred for her to be present and dying with clive side by side on that beach as opposed to leaving her out of it completely#wildest part is she wouldve preferred that too but its like her agency just diminished after her arc#omg and it wouldve tied in so perfectly together with the whole thing about them watching the moon together uuurgghghghfggfhfgh#i cant believe the devs missed that opportunity just to leave her out of it like that#nothing is more annoying than a female character with potential getting the short end of the stick out of nowhere#final fantasy xvi#jill warrick#ff16 spoilers#ive been too spoiled with xiii ive got standards now

if angel was raised on pandora it means that she and jack lived as residential settlers during dahls occupation. grogmouth likely worked for the flynts who, being a high status family at the time, in turn worked for dahl. baron flynt was the warden of thor, a dahl mining rig that doubled as a prison. the companys sole interest in pandora to begin with was to extract eridium and find alien relics, so a siren would be a priceless bargaining chip for their efforts. all of this to say its very possible that the flynts were the ones who sent out the order for angel to be kidnapped.
#borderlands#bandit rewrite#angel borderlands#grogmouth#handsome jack#baron flynt#i also doubt that the flynt family was technically a “bandit clan” at the time. more likely they were locals who had political power.#and were able to quickly fill the gap in leadership once dahl ran off. most bandit clans werent really a thing until then. there was crime.#but there was also a lot more law and a different way of doing things. baron being warden especially gave him a lot of chances to harm.#even if he had the support of the prisoners that were freed he still that maintained authority over them.#^ still obsessed with a character who died 15 years ago.#all we really know about the flynts is that their power is generational but we dont know their parents.#hell we're missing one of the 4 siblings we do have and the only named heir between them is sparky.#there is the possibility that grogmouth was working alone but ehhhh. no one ever Works Alone on pandora. theres always a boss.#always someone else. some random bastard with a few stolen turrets isnt going to have a way to contact dahls corporate overlords.#the flynts would though. and that power kept them in atlas good graces when they took over the planet. why else would steele defend them?

She wails as though a part of her has died.
oh man. i picked up the sidestory to @just-a-carrot's five-arc horror epic a couple days ago and i'm so glad i did. i'll probably be talking nonstop and/or drawing about it for days
there's a handful of whiteboard doodles with other characters under the cut, but rly i just wanted to pay a homage to the scene that hit me the hardest... enjoy
#theres already PARAGRAPHS upon paragraphs in my partners dms over this freaking thing but like listen to me (jingle jingle) PAY ATTENTION#i feel like i have to add that visual novels arent really something i take interest in at all this one jus JUMPED me#i actually played the side piece (our cinderella) first + was so in love with the writing i went to check out the main story. worth it#and i DEFINITELY won't be able to fit everything i want to say in the tags but its so refreshing to read/play thru a novel where the protag#are regular ass adults. like middle class thirty year olds barely breaking even. and that still get sappy unapologetically.#need more stories like this fr#that aside it's been fucking crazy to look at iggy's character arc through his eyes considering yk.. everything.#theres no universal asexual experience or anything but sometimes there'd be a line in there that made me like. sit up and go damn what the#i did that. i do that.#it's. i cant explain it in depth in the tags its about the way topics are skirted around and the realization that something is#uncomfortable in a way you werent expecting it to be. or even on your radar. theres so much#ugh. im unwell. anyways.#dewdles#our wonderland#gidget bordelle#iggy maxwell#genzou#genzou ichihara#cecil- does cecil have a last name??? cecil.#blood#injury#ask to tag

I'm sorry, but Eddie was shot in broad daylight and thought, "this is it, this is the last moment of my life," and he reached for Buck. He thought he was dying, and all he could do was look at Buck and reach.
#buddie#eddie diaz#evan buckley#911 abc#oh sniper scene you will always be famous#the slow mo#the blood splatter on buck#the silence as they stare at each other before eddie collapses#the way captain mehta has to tackle buck because all he can do is watch as eddie is bleeding out in front of him#the way eddies eyes find bucks again and eddie fucking REACHES#buck crawling under the firetruck to save him#the way bucks yelling at eddie the whole time letting him know hes coming#the GRAB#dragging eddie under the truck and throwing him over his shoulder to lift him into the truck#bucks just stay with me and i need you to hang on#eddie asking if bucks hurt and only passing out after buck says no#and the buck and chris scene!!!#and the will reveal!!!#survivors you will always be famous#i will forever believe the shooting was eddies oh moment#i remember falling#and everything got dark#and i thought#this is it#this is the last moment of my life#and i reached for you#if i was going to die#i wanted to be able to touch you one last time#we really could have had it all if fox werent cowards

mac being referred to as joyces boy. her boy. hes her boy. mac being the person to understand joyces writing the easiest. they belong to each other theyre each others lost halves if they were ever separated they would stop functioning. auawhhrhwuah
#mac mcdonald#joyce kelly#joymac#.......#i dont think ill tag charmac. i care u guys but their relationship is more complex than that to me#the childhood best friends -> fag/dyke solidarity that ends up with them closer together than with any partners of the same gender#they need to be able to be each others beards if they werent so outwardly queer#they need to feel a little weird about how easily they make each other laugh and how their hearts sometimes flutter around each other#im sorry if you dont have a friend that makes you question your sexuality after youre supposed to have figured it out#what are you doing#platonic love should be confusing for them. like everything else is.#iasip

Honestly could we throw out the idea that totk's story issue is that it isn't consistent with the lore of the older games but instead drops intresting world building from botw because it might have gotten actually dark
#seriously eveeyone keeps up bring up the triforce not being the same like the older games instead of HEY why DOES the royal family just.....#have it#like all of it#and was the sheikah tech from the last game that functions the same was as light arrows/the biden blast was uh#how do i put this#how did they weaponize lightmagic in robots and does this all tie in with the “banishment” thing#or idk dropped point from botw zelda's fucking chracter arc#i know it ended with LOOOK!!!! YOU FUCKED UP BY DOING WHAT YOU THOUGHT WAS RIGHT#But damn they could of just not done that shit in totk making her just the#what was jt#idk man they just keep taking away her agency#man and it sucks cuz the dragon is so cool but mf shes forced to do it what she gonna do stay in the past and DIE?#idk man it just all feels hasty. makes me sad#and it sucks cuz a lot of shit shit is really cool and intresting but man idk i may become a botw zelda deserved a better weiter for her#becuase girl she needs a break. not saying chracters cant go through hardship#but there is something so nasty about the framing of youll never be anything but eveey past princess zelda trope and nothing more#instead of a crystal she turns into a dragon like guys this is the same as skyward sword but idk man is it werd to say#when Hylia does it aginst a thing that wants to steal the god triangles and is also a god its like yeah you had no other choice#how the fuck did one fuckass stone make ganondorf into a god like being you would think that like#mannwhy are the stones THAT powerful and why werent the other bitches able to take them down what because#did#did rauru give sonia the equivalent of the one ring at their wedding hey wait a fuck#sorry for all my spelling mistakes but what the fuck man

The fact haley is running around- probably busy, but still just around
As Icarus goes once again on their corruption arc, goes back to hurting those their supposed to care about again
Its different now
Centross is gone, Easton is- Icarus is pretty confidant they hate them, Athena knows better, knows good friends dont keep secrets
Maybe good sons do though
The group that formed- ominous bane is gone.
Replaced with coworkers of the same amount under a god, just like before
And haley, the one who had died due to ominous bane is just around
Surely that is, so good for icarus,
#haley really is helping fables point (despite quixis being more involved then fable)#But BOY is the thought that icarus has an example of the guilt theyll face if the others do come back#becuase they werent sure how to deal with haley- really unsure actually#filled with guilt#and that is how theyll be with every single person they take down- if fable does even end up being able to bring them back up#like he promised.#fable smp#fin speaks#welcome to- its midnight and sunny is having all of the thoughts about how if history repeats too often itll come crashing together#eventually. the strands of the past being pulled so constantly eventually theyll fall into eachother and that will just have to be#icarus morningstar

ive just rediscovered an old wip of mine and im having so much fun right now. like i havent opened the document since early 2020 and genuinely forgot it existed yet there's 90k words and so much lore and elements of basic concepts that made it to my present writing in far cooler and more complex ways and the writing isn't great but there's potential to it and idk. it's been a while since i wrote something privately and while i hugely prefer the way i do it now where i actually have a community with it and dont hole myself away and act like it's a huge shame thing, there's still something hugely reasuring about knowing this is something ive always done and that actually i was always drawn to it and had potential and that's something to remember for when my writing block gets bad or i convince myself Everything Ive Ever Done Is Awful
#like this story is one where if i tackled it with my writing abilities now it would genuinely be really good#that's how sound the basic premise is. and i have SO many wips like that with tens of thousands of words to them#and i was doing this for ZERO reward ZERO attention i wouldnt tell a SOUL not even my family#i truly just have always loved and NEEDED to write. that is such a cool thing to be able to say#anyway yeah this wip lowkey fucks. like there's lots of aspects to it that are cringe and telling of the fact i was writing it at age 16#but the fact i came up with something so fleshed out at SIXTEEN??? insane#and this isnt even one of my big older wips. i have three that immediately come to mind that were sooo much bigger than this#like on the shorter end being 100k words and larger end easily being near 300k words#and they were JUST FOR ME like i didnt even know what ao3 WAS and i never spoke to anyone about my writing#and they WERENT FANDOM BASED. i was just casually coming up with super original detailed and COMEPLLING worlds#and characters and plots with complex twists and tropes and i was just doing it for shits#that's so fucking cool. did you ever think you'd see the day i gave past hella a pat on the back bc i didn't

ugh i basically feel fine except that i literally cannot go ten minutes without a cough drop or i start coughing continuously and horribly. and it's actually much harder than youd expect to do most things while also entirely cough drop dependent
#things that are hard to do this way: dressing a loom#having a conversation#being hungry.#really difficult to feel hunger after your twentieth menthol cough drop and/or mixed citrus vitamin drop [no active ingredient]#box opener#but otherwise id be able to do things! if it werent for this!

I'm probably overthinking this, but do you think the first 3 months prior to keiji's route, mc had a small crush on ieyasu?
I mean, if the nega/posi keiji dynamic is her type, it's not far-fetched to think ieyasu is too
#obviously ieyasu is the unrequited in keiji's - it seems like ieyasu and mai werent able to get close if u do keiji's#like if mc started ieyasu's route but then there were no plot points activated to lead to the relationship flag moments#then she'd end up in keiji's route#i hope im explaining this well#cybird#ikesen#ikemen sengoku#ikesen keiji#ikesen ieyasu

Please, stop talking about Israel and Gaza. This is not the place for it. both of you can do this on other places on Google. Just don't speak about this topic at all. Remove what you wrote here if you can (I don't if that's possible, but it would be good to do so), and also remove what you shared that someone else wrote. As I said, it's not the right place to talk about it.
I don't know what's worse: You saying I'm not allowed to feel bad for a fellow artist in a war zone with increasingly more terrible survival options (that my EU tax payer money is contributing to) or the follow up to my last response where the person doubled down on their rhetoric by saying Palestinian children need to be smothered in the crib because they will grow up to be dangerous monsters, something that was also systematically happening to my slavic ancestors at the hands of the Nazis during WW2, a response so appaling and disgusting I decided not to publish it. Am I just a content creator to you and not a person? Is fandom escapism all you people fucking care about?
Anyways, here you can find a comprehensive post on what's been happening for the past 75 years and here and here are some on the ground organisations for you to donate to.
#nonitxt#'this is not the place' i am offline organising to stop weapons shipments to that evil country#which is more than than i was able to do for my ukrainian relatives who werent allowed to leave the country#i share one post and you people fucking get triggered immediately#demanding someone to not care is insane#no one is free until palestinians are free
