Augh
#fancy is really struggling#and the babies are lovely and just FASCINATING in how they developed around but not shaped by humans and i so very deeply enjoy them#but they are also a little ungovernable due to their age and general lack of caring about rules and they are bothersome and rowdy#and it is obviously so so hard on her and my heart is breaking because im afraid we wont be able to get her through this#and i will have to give the babies up#and...not have another cat#just one#i would be crushed#and added to all of that is that the babies are taking their time learning to be pets and that is fine and wonderful actually#but...i need surgery on at least one ankle and i won't be able to keep up with them if things haven't sorted themselves out by then#and they haven't become more manageable and fancy hasn't adjusted#so we are asking about meds for poor fancy and hoping that works#but she's really having a hard time guys and i am fighting so hard to cope in a household where i spend most of my time alone#with two animals who don't love me yet or interact with me like pets (i'm a source of three things: food and snuggles on demand and NO STOP#and one who is sad and not herself#and frankly it's terrible that i can't fix this#and i am trying not to lose my shit but this wasn't supposed to be so hard#and im afraid i may lose five cats and not three#and im already barely holding on#i don't know what to do and neither does my boyfriend#i don't want to turn around and have to tell you guys we can't keep the babies#i feel like i am failing at something i am supposed to be GOOD AT#i don't want to be in a house so empty#i can't live like that#having the babies is lovely#they're so alive and the boys were so sick by the end and the stress of the constant anxiety and grief as they faded away was crushing#even before they died#it's been so good to have them running about#i don't want to LOSE that#im so tired of LOSING things

2024 reads / storygraph
Outdrawn
f/f contemporary romance
two cartoonist who’ve been rivals since uni, and now have competing webcomics online, have to work together on the relaunch of a cult classic at the comic press they both work at
they both struggle with art-related physical and mental health issues, and complicated families
#outdrawn#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#sapphic books#I thought this was decent! I liked the concept (even if I got distracted by some art related things…)#and the dynamic between the characters was good. I enjoyed their relationship development broadly speaking#and the emphasis on communication; though it was a quick flip into being together all of a sudden.#The sketchbook doodle flirting was cute. Some interesting exploration of their complicated family situations too.#There’s a lot of exploration of burnout and carpal tunnel and the dangers of artists overworking which I think are important conversations#and are done with some nuance. But it’s pretty much all discussed in the context of the personal pressure they put on themselves#rather than the industry corporate greed and artificial competition created by the comic platform - which are significant in this story!#It felt odd that that connection wasn’t really ever made?#I know that this is a romance and nitpicking the background plot is beside the point and also that I am not a big romance reader#but the premise that the comic hosting site archives everything; wipes the leaderboard; and out of nowhere has a comic competition for#new weekly chapters…I’m sorry but the art world would riot. Even if people enter because they’re desperate for the cash they’d be pissed#People live off the income from their webcomics! if they were erased (temporarily) with no notice…..there would be crimes committed istg#I simply don’t believe that it would be doable to create a new weekly webcomic with no notice while you also have a full-time comic job#(especially as the only stylistic choices mentioned are full-colour) - not to mention what happened to their 8-years-running webcomics#that were archived? they don’t think about them at all after the beginning? surely they’d care about that?#And then with their new comics they make for this competition (after work I guess) we get vague snippets about them but barely anything#- if they’re consuming that much of your time I would expect to feel like they’re thinking about them all the time#rather than the vaguest discussion about genre and cast numbers only.#I guess I just think the whole comic site stunt felt unnecessary for the plot anyway -#it would have worked exactly the same if they were just competing on the normal leaderboard with their normal comics???#anyway - I’m not judging TOO hard about all that because again I know it’s not the point and maybe the industry is like that in some place#Unfortunately it was distracting enough to affect my feelings on the book tho lol.#Lastly: the audiobook………oof. The narrators talk at different speeds; for one.#And Sage’s VA does this deeply weird raspy-anime-teen-boy voice for Noah which is such an odd choice#and doesn’t match her character at all.#unforch my library only had the audiobook (what I usually prefer) so I just had to sort of….translate the narration into a normal voice lol#anyway the romance is good tho

what is a furry? if you don't mind. like i've heard of it for years but i realized i don't actually know what it means other than animals are cool
it just means animals are cool
#anon#i'd say it's broadly speaking people who enjoy animals that display anthropomorphic attributes#probably most commonly thought of as humanized animals walking on two legs but often also includes just regular quadrupeds etc.#displaying humanlike sentience#furry is one of those blanket labels that people will argue over semantics and specifics of#but generally when i see people categorizing themselves as furries it's any wide range of things under that

please. i need alastor with his hair up so we can see the side of his head. second set of ears or smooth flesh prairie?
#hazbin hotel#alastor#hazbin alastor#hazbin hotel alastor#alastor ears#alastor's flesh fields#bc husk has the ears on top as well#but his head is shaped like a cat and he has all the fur so it works#but alastor is mostly human shaped when he wants to be and his face head is distinctly skinful#so.#like imagine he's uncomfortable or embarrassed by it because it's *yet another* physical difference that#invites the taunts and abuse and humiliation he faced in life (and is thus very sensitive about in afterlife)#he already faces being a PREY animal of all things#so. imagine. he always ALWAYS makes sure his hair covers the side of his head. in his twisted victim mind the lack of ears makes him#Wrong and Disgusting and Untouchable and A Monster (and not in the satisfying fearful way he enjoys)#so he pushes it away. doesnt let anyone learn about his ugly disgusting mutation because surely SURELY if they saw it...#he could lose everything he's worked so hard for. because who would fear him? who would respect him? who would bother looking in his#direction? he would just be another lowlife Freak undeserving of love and attention and— well#thats what he would tell himself. but then one day niffty's doing his hair like he sometimes lets her#and he's just enjoying letting her have her fun. kinda spaced out; mostly just enjoyjng the rare sensation of a touch he doesn't despise#it doesnt even register when she pulls his hair up (maybe into lil space buns or smthn idk) that it leaves his empty face on display for all#i can imagine angel being the most outwardly shocked. some loud exclamation that turns everyones attention to alastor and his earless face#just. everyone staring at him. and he realises. and he hates himself for slipping like that and oh no theyre going to hate him and tell—#— everyone and he will lose all that hes been working towards with the hotel and he is just. So. mortified. think shameful reactions:#averted gaze; flushed cheeks; figeting under their stares; or perhaps the classic deer-in-headlights look as he freezes in shock#just as he feels everything crashing down around him. the others get ahold of themselves and share their reactions too#shock; confusion; endearment (charlie would 100% do a big AWW/want to touch it); reassurances galore when they see him retreat into his mind#they tell him it's normal (he's in hell; no longer a human but a demon; everyone looks odd by some standard)#they tell him it makes sense (he's a deer after all). they tell him his appearance is nothing to be ashamed of and that everyone is still#super intimidated and frightened by him ♡; that it doesnt change anything; that theyre sorry for whatever led him to believe otherwise

being a huge fan of tlou but also like. thinking that certain stories are built for certain mediums. like the entire theme of tlou2 is grounded and fresh because it’s a railroad/story video game that still affords you mechanical choices in how you navigate the world. i just don’t have a lot of confidence that presenting that story in a tv show with the minimal adjustments that they did in s1 will be fulfilling or compelling in any comparable way. because with tlou1 some of the like. beauty of that story was simply that it was such an emotive story contained in the medium of video games. and some of that was retained just by hitting similar or expanded emotional beats in the show, like the episodes that expanded on the life of the characters and the realities of that world. but truly so much of tlou2 emotional depth and ‘why does this story matter’ rests in the fact that’s it’s your hands on the controller, continually choosing to go forward in the story and have hope that it will work out in your-as-ellie-or-abby-or-somehow-booth’s favour. and you simply cannot get that in a non-interactive medium like television. like i do think tlou2 is a good story but it’s a good story because of the investment required by the player to keep pressing buttons and keep returning and to feel the adrenaline like responses of high intensity moments and be jarringly shifted into backstories that only increase the frustration. in general i’ve been thinking a lot about cross-medium adaptation and on the one hand i am glad that season 1 makes the story of the last of us more accessible to people who wouldn’t pick up a video game but it’s also like. maybe instead we can destigmatize video games as this inaccessible and dangerous medium a bit more instead of just . implicitly agreeing . like no maybe your mom won’t pick up a video game controller and play the last of us . but maybe you can play the game in the living room. sometimes the mediums that stories are told in aren’t just important but are actually foundational parts of how the information of a story is conveyed and that’s not only okay but is fucking fantastic. we should be happy actually that there are so many ways to collect a bunch of themes and ideas and put them together and hold them out to someone else and say “won’t you consider this with me. won’t you feel these emotions and care about these characters with me.”
#i’ve been thinking about this both for academic and personal reasons#where like. my thesis literally includes discussion of tlou2 and it’s profundity because of the players position as in control but without#real decision making power in the story#and it’s like. you’re the person animating these two ptsd ridden women who subject themselves to be puppets to their#own grief . and there’s something particularly resonant about the fact that you can’t change the Story. you can only play it.#and like . i’ve talked with my mom a lot about the last of us#since i played it the first time and it really just rocked my shit. and i remember walking out my bedroom after i’d finished tlou2#feeling that odd mixture of empty and completely fulfilled by a good story with tears in my eyes#and a few years later when i visited home and had happened to bring my ps4 along with me and i was having a rough time#my mom asked if i’d want to show her tlou. because she knew i loved it and because i’ve told her it has tropes she’d enjoy#but the only games she’ll ever play are point and click because she’s stubborn and some physicality stuff#but like i remember sitting on the couch just. playing this game and it wasn’t the exact same as her playing it herself . but sometimes her#commentary was like it was.#i just. idk man. tlou lover wants to be hyped but seeing the exact same visuals from the game just in tv show format is like#. what’s the point. why are you distilling the themes by removing the active (non)agency of the player and#replacing it with the passive role of ‘watcher’ in a story so emphatically about having an active role in the action#anyway#tagging this#tlou#for blog organization but this isn’t discourse or whatever just me thinkin my thoughts on my blog

That's why the dark types in your town are so more mischiveous that normal, your family invaded their natural habitat! They want their land back! Dar, you are in a family of colonizers.
I have bad news about what every city and town had to be built over. It's all natural habitat. There wasn't somewhere magically with no pokemon where they built Castellia or Jubilife or Lumiose. They had to kick wild pokemon out for that, too.
Also, there are still wild pokemon here? I have mentioned them repeatedly. We haven't kicked any except the bad ones out. I just saw a sawsbuck on my way to school. There are pidove outside. The dratini in the river.
#pkmn irl#pokeblogging#rotumblr#//shes not a colonizor having to kick out animals is just how building incredibly large settlements like towns and cities work 😭😭😭😭😭#//its easier for a lot of wild animals to stay near a settlement when its smaller but like there is not a magical plot of land where no#//animals live ever unless ur in a wasteland#//that being said natural areas within cities sosososo good for them#//like a little forest is so good in the middle of the city for so many reasons#//whats the fucking point if you cant go see rabbits in the woods#//but like yea no it becomes harder for most wildlife to live in cities that get larger. not even as a colonization thing but in the way of#//generally if you have a lot of people and big buildings bears do want to avoid it. this was a thing even thousands of years ago#//you had a fire and a couple of guys whos job was to start screaming if a bear or lion got close and then bears and lions wouldnt come over#//massive fuck off skyscrapers and cars everywhere are also not beneficial for wildlife to enjoy themselves.#//sorry if im rambling. generally what i mean is like this just what happens when you put a town down luckys place aint special

#Doodles#To The Moon#Neil Watts#Eva Rosaline#They ✨#I ended up making the To The Moon series of games my over-breakfast show for a while haha#I got through them all surprisingly fast! It's amazing what a bit of breakfast does for the focus haha#I had ideas for them but then I got distracted! Damn! Another time#Still gonna talk about 'em tho lol <3#Mostly Neil-related honestly haha - a big long silly joke that takes so much context pfft#So that one trope of self-aware anime protagonists - either the type to try to hide the specific thing that makes them The Chosen One#Or changing themselves into The Chosen One by adopting a feature that points to it - think dying hair#Born with weird hair? Protagonist - cover that up and become a normie; and it's inverse!#And then y'know the trope of the white-haired anime boy? The Redshirt of anime? Lol#I just love the idea of Neil being ''born with white hair'' and dying it his normal brown and confessing to Eva#And her countering back with ''Thank goodness you don't have white hair I never would've accepted your confession if The Tragedy''#While Neil is just Sweating lol#It's funnier in images gah I'll get to it someday!#For now I'm just happy to have added them to my list <3 I do love them hehe#I enjoyed Imposter Factory so much! The montage at the end had such beautiful pixel animation#And even seeing a simulacrum of them happy makes me happy <3 Bittersweet like the rest of the series :)#Good lads <3

read a post that classified?? explained??? the various ways kuukou’s been written across hipumai’s media and it made laugh lol so it went
stage:
DEMON
anime
functions on actual common sense
actually uses fundamental buddhist monk arguments
his father will tell him to do something and he will actually do it diligently
the kuukou with the least corrupt personality
arb
a completely pure individual. purity at its finest
he’s living his best life out here, the kinda guy that excitedly runs to his dad to show off his decorations, and had a blast celebrating halloween, christmas, hinamatsuri etc
adults tend to treat him to food
will also throw away the mattress his teammate sleeps on
the kuukou with the most corrupt personality
drama tracks/manga:
a healthy 19 year old that may have experience with women
the kinda guy who will sing a song like get busy and can also make a lady ghost experience nirvana
because of an intense and overwhelming love for his family, he will occasionally adopt a buddha-like tone of voice
he has a corrupt personality
#this is vee speaking#*nods* i see i see so that’s why i enjoy kuukou so much in arb#his duality is cranked 🆙 and he has the most fun with it LOL#the anime creating the most reasonable kuukou is hilarious to me lol#he’s a very comforting kuukou like he’s still a little strange but by nature i think of an ensemble anime#moments where he might make a left field decision aren’t really a thing#but on the flip side of that he’s having to be the human part of his personality lmao#so you get stuff like him sensing akira and satoru aren’t themselves we actually got to see kuukou interacting with temple patrons etc#it’s fun anime kuukou is tame fun lmao#the op coming to the conclusion that kuukou has experience with women is LOL but i mean listen!!!!!!!!#kuukou breaks the fourth wall he is connected to all universes he’s in so if he has a yume thru omnipresence he—#this isn’t the first time i’ve seen a kuukou stan equate stage kuukou to evil entities and it likely won’t be the last lmao#but it’s still ridiculously funny lmao#BUT LOOK AT MANS RANGE WHOS DOING CHAOTICALLY FUN LIKE HIM LOL#c: kuukou👑

I honestly think we've reached absolute Pit Social Media when the images of deceased infants get meme-ed around because "lololol IT looks so stupid IT looks so fake IT is obviously a doll haha let's have some fun here hahaha". And they know dead bodies only from how they're made to look in movies OR maybe open-casket funerals where a mortician worked their ass off for the family to have a pretty corpse to say their goodbyes to.
I. Honestly.
I can't even wrap my mind around how devoid of humanity some people are. All of this has really opened my eyes about the people around me.
Tell them - and they don't even know what death looks like - that a real human person in distress is "actually an actor/a prop/a doll" and they're meme-ing the shit out of anh atrocity.
That's how corpses become internet fun memes. A big party for everyone. Because we're upholding CiViLiSaTiOn here and sHoWiNg ThEm TeRroRiStS.
As a kid, I was stupid enough to ask myself, how could anyone stand by when the Holocaust happen.
Now I know the people around us wouldn't only stand by, they would cheerfully join in AND make socmed memes about it. Because "hahaha those aren't real people, it's all a big movie stage - and if they were real, they'd DESERVE it".
I can't go back to seeing people like I did before.
#yes the current meme baby 100% looks like how malnourished baby corpses can look like#and now we're parading baby corpse pictures around on our socmed to meme about how 'hahaha plastic and stupid' they look#people would have taken fucking selfies at the auschwitz fence#it would have been a meme challenge#baby corpses as funny memes because not pretty and 'realistic' enough#i hope you all get mauled by rabid animals#there is a limit#yes dead people look like this.#and no their eyes aren't magically closed either and sometimes very persistently stay open#but sure have fun meme a little jerk off a little we get it you enjoy this#this is how genocides happen and have always happened#people are ready to go about their daily lives then laugh about dead children of people they consider subhuman then go back to their day job#with ukraine it was already beyond disgusting how people were like 'not our problem let them fend for themselves'#but with Palestinians it's just endless memeing and partying#a Palestinian friend said to me 'the whole world has made us out to be demons'#i don't know whether there is hope for our species when people meme about dead infants#I'm just done#palestine genocide#harm to children cw#child death cw#racist violence cw

People like to say 'oooooh main character syndrome' but what kind of main character cause it's significant
(yea I know it means it's just meant to say someone's self absorbed but play with me)
Like the annoyance varies depending on what kind of main character someone thinks they are. A shounen anime main character syndrome would feel very different to me than let's say a romantic comedy main character syndrome. Or a slasher main character syndrome. Let's introduce some nuance here
#i personally think i have an indie animated slice of life 10 minute short main character syndrome#i will look wistfully through the window riding a tram and there's some noise in the background but as a viewer it is clear#that you could pick any other person in the tram to tell a story#(however i am a little bit special cause the story is about ME now)#im fan of 'psychological horror main character syndrome'#or '30 somethings friend group sitcom' main character syndrome#in partial seriousness though#i liked the initial use of main character syndrome to use to describe people who think their interests should always be put first#because they cannot comprehend other people aren't npc#however I don't vibe with how i see its used often to just mean someone is harmlessly enjoying themselves by romanticising their life#doing something silly but non disruptive to feel alive#if you romantically run through the spring rain or sit by a river and do a wistful musical number to no audience i think that's awesome#do your funky thing#alek talks#alek lore#i guess

"This show is SO good, you should watch it!!"
I gotta be honest. If I look at a character list on Wikipedia and get five characters down without seeing a single woman, it's probably not for me.
#I have no patience for 'there is exactly one woman in the main/supporting cast' anymore#unless the writing is INCREDIBLE and the themes are explored with a type of depth and nuance I can't get anywhere else (like shiki)#(daily media plug for shiki)#then I just. probably will not vibe with it. if there are no women. (also shiki DOES have interesting female characters in it)#and this isn't to say that like. things involving men or talking about men or that have a male protagonist are Not Worth#My Time that is NOT what I'm saying at all. I just want like. several women. who show up and affect the story. like LITERALLY that is all I#am asking for. I feel like that's just. the bare minimum. but alas.#mel screams about fictional ladies again#there are plenty of things that are male-character-focused that I enjoy and even genuinely think are good! but I do want people to#ask themselves why they aren't willing to go to bat for media that DOES have more women in the cast than men.#(I mean. the answer is misogyny. but I want people to be. aware of that. and evaluate accordingly)#(evaluate meaning 'acknowledge I have some biases I need to continue deconstructing' not 'drop interest in everything tumblr#user musical-chick-13 personally doesn't like')#I feel like so many times we get trapped in this space between overcorrection via 'don't like ANYTHING that's pRoBLeMaTiC in ANY way'#and people taking the 'it's fiction it's not that deep' to the conclusion of 'because I cannot actually hurt fictional characters because#they're not real that means I am incapable of hurting irl people when they talk about those characters'#like there is. nuance here. there is a middle ground. and most people have NO interest in finding it lmao#and like...if you carry your biases from irl (which EVERYONE HAS. INCLUDING ME. COURTESY OF LIVING IN A PREJUDICED SOCIETY.) into a#direct and one-to-one evaluation of stories or characters that allow you to exercise those biased ideas. then that reinforces those biases#like. no hating...for example every anime lady isn't the same as structural misogyny like the pay gap or anti-women violence#but if you automatically associate the idea of 'female character' with 'lesser-than' it strengthens the already-present societal idea that#women are not as important or dynamic or worthy of support and attention as their male peers. if you are willing to see every (white)#fictional man as having interiority and depth but struggle to see that in any fictional woman then it adds to the things society is already#telling us about women. it creates an association of 'women' with 'inferiority' and uh. that's what misogyny is.#it is not the same as misogynistic crimes against irl women but it IS a reflection of the rhetoric and societal impulses that lead to them#and even if it's a reflection and not the actual thing. it's still important to break down and examine and reevaluate because#if we don't examine our OWN biases. then even if we tear down the greater oppressive structure we'll just end up building it back up again#no your thousands of words of m/m fanfiction or liking late 2000s shonen anime isn't responsible for misogyny nor are these things#inherently misogynistic. I just want like. some acknowledgement that something being 'for fun' doesn't automatically mean that bias/#prejudice is nowhere to be found
