Bonus 7: Time moves sideways

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #Despite a whole ass inspiration board for reference - it turns out drawing and colouring half submerged people is a CHALLENGE.#I am channeling the zoobie bunny and internally screaming “WHY DID YOU THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA”.#What I wanted was a cool transition between present and past! What I got was a very full mouth of my own foot!#That said: there are aspects I really like about this one and I feel like I got most of the way to where I wanted it to be.#Water is hard to draw and I am saying that even after dedicating a full 4 page comic with people in the water.#Forget hands. Water is my new nemesis.#I love how floaty this flashback transition was. The hazy mind wandering as LWJ carries him as a set up to recollection!#Aren't memories an incredible thing? To relive a moment in your mind? To have time repeat again and again?#And yet it is always a little different when we go to recall it once again. We are different people than the person we once were.

i have a personal bias against aus/headcanons/theories where all of saikis friends have powers cuz im just not a fan of like... the way it changes the message from "youre different, and thats okay!" to "theres nothing different or special about you lmao", or at least thats what it feels like in my opinion 😭

im having an absolute unadulterated blast with the Ethersea prologue for many many reasons, it's beautiful and exceeds all my expectations.. but also. there's many moments here that genuinely make me go "oh god damn, these people are Americans." the Quiet Year system is a profoundly fascinating and revealing game - nothing tells you quite as much about how somebody sees the world than asking them to imagine a new one.

#customizable 'single family housing' the immediate adoption of a liberal economic system hierarchical gvt structures... and fish #especially when the whole set up is such a clear metaphor for climate change as the consequence of industrialization!#'single family housing' just rocked me so hard. that in the middle of an apocalypse we'd use resources towards that kind of individualism #and then they *do* kind of brush against that! with the idea of Community going down because of the inability to connect with neighbours!#the adventure zone #taz ethersea #mine #edit also not to understate that i do find the critique and allegory that is present to be really nice and genuinely exciting #the ending of prologue v goes SO HARD i was out of breath from the excited stimming #and i think my difficulty reading tone made me miss that the 'entrepeneur' thing was a joke? like theres still some #interesting biases at work here but maybe there's more insight than i gave it credit for. im curious about how ol' joshie's bs will develop #autistic anarchocommie netwon moments #also i wish theyd be less anxious about the brinear as a DID allegory i think it could be so interestinggg #we'll see. im really loving this show so far. taz has such a very special direct connection to my heart #i really like what theyre doing with this stuff even if sometimes i wish theyd do a lot more #the ending monologue of prologue v basically encapsulates most of the things about this that i find exciting and cool #i hope the transition to dnd will still allow them to bloom

undertale yellow. clutches head in anguish.

#[cherry on top]#undertale yellow spoilers #[..its still you]#anyways. finished my uty playthrough yesterday. oh my god.#^ that might be a bit of a surprise given that ive said like. nothing about it on here #but honestly i felt like positive-neutral about the game for most of it. like yeah it was good;#but nothing that drove me crazy. yknow? it was just an overall good game.#which is why i didnt really say anything about it #then it started picking up near the middle-end with the steamworks-#i enjoyed axis and guardener a lot; ceroba was a cool party member;#and the music in steamworks goes hard. one of my favorite tracks tbh #then there was the buildup to cerobas fight.#then i /got/ to cerobas fight and. crumples up into a ball AAUUUUUUUUUU #OH MY GODDDDDD #something about it made me shatter into a million tiny pieces.#a lot of things did actually. like how HARD IT WAS #i was stuck on her for OVER AN HOUR #BUT I DID IT. I DID IT LEGIT. IT WAS SO SATISFYING WHEN I FINALLY BEAT HER #god im just insane about ceroba rn. women who fuck up everything big time #and see no other option other than to dig their hole deeper because they sure as hell arent getting out of it #OH AND THE ENDING... BECAUSE OH MY GODDDD OF COURSE CLOVER WOULD DO THAT AHUGHHHHH #THEY'RE THE JUSTICE SOUL. THEY WANTED TO BRING MONSTERS TO JUSTICE AFTER ALL THEY FACED #OF FUCKING COURRSSSEEEEEEE AAAUUGHHHHH <- wail of anguish #KILLING AND MAIMING AND BITING.#SORRY. i needed to lose it for my mental health. quoting that one tiktok: 'im craeezay. im insaaane!'#for other tidbits i wanted to mention:#cerobas bossfight music went HARD. i fucking love the phase 3 transition especially with her yelling as the music starts;#that black hole attack can go fuck itself;#and if you were wondering how long it took me to beat uty. it was around 10-11 hours for a pacifist route.#anyways i totally need to play more games. that was fucking awesome and i need to experience more things like that

specialized education and gifted children programs are so fucked up I see the purpose but the execution and expectations are genuinely horrific I've yet to meet a single one of us that's doing okay besides from those who just reached their breaking point and chose to stop caring

#gifted kid burnout #It's so fucked up the emotional stress levels we're normalizing and the expectations to do the best and be the best when everyone #Has been told they're the best and special #Middle school high school college etc should be learning times yes and expose you to new things #The opportunities provided are wonderful and its really cool how many programs you can have access to #But the competition and stress shoved into a relatively short time period isn't productive for helping kids learn and try new things #Especially since they're expected to be a fully functioning adult afterwords with little to no prioritization of information #That could help with that transition #I'm very frustrated with the American education system I don't know enough about other countries education to comment on theirs #Cue rambles #ESPECIALLY NEURODIVERGENT PEOPLE OH MY GOD #I would like to say something about that but I want to do more research on that besides from me just speaking from experience and people #Around me

tha terf paradox of promoting acceptance of oneself's biological nature and not changing it for societal ideologies but then turning around and criticizing any person that has a different perception of their biological nature that doesn't immediately enter the "male or female" binary hmmm,,,,

#berry.rambles <3 #does this make sense #like #ok cool. lets remind women that just because they're gnc doesnt mean that they have to transition (which isnt a malevolent idea at all imo)#but then the second a gnc woman (that's consciously aware that society sees her as a woman) decides to go by she/they or anything else #she's suddenly the woke version of not like other girls???#HUH #what does that even mean #do you people realize that some women just dont really care about the language used when they're talked about #like its not a “distancing myself” from femalehood (??) thing its literally coming to terms with the fact that language is not rigid #i go by any pronouns because i literally dont care #im a girl i know that #but im not gonna flip out if you call me he or they or she or it #like i have bigger problems didya think about that for a second!!!#this idea that any kind of personal uniqueness/individualism is ALWAYS patriarchy-related is so???? yes the patriarchy doesnt care but #why shouldnt we care about what the women feel too???#its so insane how they'll talk about eliminating the patriarchy/distancing themselves from it to weaken it #but then the second a woman talks about her unique experiences as a female and how it differs from other women's #they jump into her comments/reblogs talking about “yeah sure whatever but remember you'll always be seen as nothing but a female”#“men don't care about that so you might as well not even view yourself as unique or different from other women”#“patriarchy doesn't care about (insert gnc/trans thing) cause you're still female”#literally using the patriarchy as an excuse to lump all women into a monolith #i dont wanna be with other women #some of you are dumb!!!#traditionalists. conservatives. zionists. religious women. liberal women. libertarians. nationalists. some of you are vile im not gonna lie #some women reject class consciousness as women #thats on them #some women think that their societal condition is natural. thats on them unless they change.#you'll never get everybody on your team #which is why instead of yapping about this nonbinary person or that he/him lesbian

i mean, i know i present very feminine, and im okay with she/her pronouns, so it doesnt seem like im genderqueer, but i am. and i know that can seem kinda alarming to a lot of people because how are you supposed to know? you don't know, and thats okay with me, im not going to be upset if you get it wrong. but there are people in my life that i've told a thousand times and they still dont get it.

the truth is, it's not hard to respect my gender identity. im fine with pretty much anything, so you cant really get it wrong.

but then youre visibly uncomfortable with how I live my life.

i dont dress feminine enough

i dont shave

i dont plan on getting married and im not sure how i feel about having kids.

you dont judge my brothers about these things. but you judge me.

and i think you should respect any woman or man or genderqueer person for all of the criteria above and more.

but when you judge me, i feel like you don't actually take me seriously when i say im genderqueer. i dont think you get it. i think you just see a girl who is not good enough and you only love me despite these things.

you said it was fine when i said i was genderqueer. i dont think you meant it.

#yes i am still upset about the fight we had earlier #i dont think it was just about shaving #i think it was also about her incessant need to fix everything her brutal judgement of me and her blatant disregard for my gender identity #but maybe im thinking too much about it 🤷#its not just this that makes me think she doesnt respect me #its when im trying to talk to her about being genderqueer and she still dismisses it.#shes cool with transness but seems to have this black/white thinking about gender. there doesnt seem to be an in between for her #so im either a cis girl or a trans man to her. and I'm not either of those things #but bc i havent outright transitioned and i dont plan to im stuck dealing with all of her preconceived ideas about how a girl SHOULD be #tldr if you actually respect me as a genderqueer person you wouldnt hold me to expectations you have for women #expectations that you shouldnt have for women anyway but i feel are doubly worse because ive already told you im not a woman #idk i hope that makes sense

I genuinely feel like I dont have a right at all to complain or talk negative about Japanese fans but like……..the evident cliqueish-ness of honestly what looks like a very unfortunate larger chunk of them ……😮‍💨

like i gotta be honest the concert was a lot more isolating than it actually already was in itself because of the vibes at least a couple of clusters of fans gave me

#ramblin but not a gamblin man #like there’s a point where the pretty fixed staring or being like….physically distanced by everyone just gets…..unnerving #like the train back was completely fucking packed #except for in the space in front of where i was sitting…..lol #there was room for at least two people to stand if only people had actually consolidated and scrunched #like they had been doing the entire motherfucking way through transit and back #but i guess fuck them they can wait for the next train??? sure that makes sense #like i have never felt MORE uncomfortable and self-conscious being a smap/takuya fan #he’s the only piece that actually matters at the con tho 🫰#i probably should have brought merch but i actually was not crazy about the con’s theming (it’s…giving a bit too parasocial for my taste)#and I didn’t even consider bringing gwtf or next destination merch but i probably should have #but it’s not actually /mine/ so then i would think about how everyone that has theirs maybe probably ACTUALLY went to the concerts #that was another thing tho which is absolutely stupid because the whole point of a con is to SHOW OFF the stuff #but it was actually like……..off putting to me…….#idk maybe it’s cuz i innately have a weird ‘relationship’ with smap/individual members in that they aren’t normal-level interests #it just wasn’t sitting right with me seeing hoards of fans with bags..shirts..hats..all kinds of stuff lol #and it’s so hard NOT to have a defense mechanism like ‘I wonder if that person likes smap or /just/ takuya….’#and ‘did you actually want to come to the concert or mostly/just because you think he’s hot/cool/etc etc?’#esp validating seeing TWO people yawn during the con which was genuinely pretty disgusting/distasteful lmao #like that’s worse than leaving early why are you EVEN HERE #sorry okay i could probably vent more but i actually shouldnt and also i might end up talking in circles but #he was genuinely…………so amazing im eternally grateful that i had the opportunity to see him live #and if there is a smap reunion………..#….i genuinely think smapchat should storm it #be our own ✨clique✨#(but like…actually nice and kind and probably how takuya would want his fans to be ie not thickly-layered judgment [heehee :3])#(im also actually kind of so serious ???)

Been a fan for a decade but Taemins new outfits look cheap and disjointed to me. They don’t do anything for him. Taemins always been sexy but the open chest and dog collar like necklace look weird and exploitative. I hope it’s him making all these bad decisions because at least I can respect that. He’s so talented, he deserves better fits. I miss his well designed stage fits. His look is so aimless now. Still love him to death but I think a lot of Taem fans are saying so much good stuff and being unrealistic. Sorry English is not my first language

so sorry you got the wrong blog

#i’d call them anything but aimless actually but that’s just my interpretation #especially bc i love the play on his metamorph iconic fit and the transition from heaven to sita featuring the loss of shirt #i think i love it more bc he’s talked about being really involved in it this time versus the sm mandated outfits of the past #which is cool and all you know we all prefer different things and i respect your opinion it’s just that i don’t share it #also english isnt my first language either so no worries (plus yours is rly good anyway)

i have been in boston for five days and ive absolutely Nothing nice to say about it. west coast continues to be best coast if only because you dont need 200 years of lore to navigate the transit system

#mochi rambles #salem was cool tho i would go back there but fuck boston proper god the transit is so bad #its clean? it runs often? the signs are visually easy to read? *nothing about it makes ANY SENSE*#i may be a little salty that i had to buy a ticket for a train ride because the pass i have didnt fucking work at a terminal #because i made the grave error of *going down the wrong platform*#because the ui is bad and boston should feel bad #heaven forbid you try and tap into the opposite direction train platform whatever after getting lost #a completely normal thing when your signage is as intuitive as astrophysics #also i have been nearly run over as a pedestrian like eight times #ive left our hotel six times #including us swapping hotels cos the first place had ROACHES #also i get off the bus to our roach free hotel at everett and the bus announcement thing #puts a whole extra syllable in there #i had to visually read the next stop Everett sign as the announcement went to connect them #ugh

i think it's very nice and very cool that we have a wildfire season here in california the same way that we have rainy seasons i'm sure that's a 100% normal thing and not incredibly horrifying if you take a minute to think about it

#i have never once experienced a snow day #actually thought they were a work of fiction until middle school #but i have missed a lot of school due to air quality conditions when the fires are going on #i don't think it's normal to treat wildfires like a completely normal unavoidable thing like the weather #anyway that bring me to my other point about evacuation #which i mostly bring up because florida is having the same issue rn #we have so little public transit that people literally can't.#yknow #escape death?#it could be solved with Trains #what if we had trains #and busses #and other options for people to be able to Leave in case of an emergency #wouldn't that be so cool #text post #wildfire #public transportation #climate change

my therapist telling me i'm his point of reference when he deals with other trans patients

#👉👈 it's an honor m'lord #i mean that + the fact that i make sure to always feed him the Most open-minded takes i can incorporate in conversation #like just today he was like ''i wanted to ask you about this i saw there were women growing beards and deciding to keep them''#and i was like. yeah that's a thing ! good for them ! if they're happy that way it's all good !#and he was like ''isn't it kinda weird though like they're really feminine but they have a beard which is usually masculine?''#and i was like hmm! not really ! it's just not something we're used to seeing so it can seem odd at first but it's harmless!#and he went Yeah you're right maybe it just seemed weird to me because it's unusual #and i like mentally went 😎🤏 got'em. teaching this guy to be okay with other people one topic at a timeeeee #in any case it's just. really cool to know that like... i'm indirectly helping other trans folks ?#at the same time i want to make sure he understands that My personal experience with being trans isn't universal #it's not ''This is how you trans'' like. what's working for me rn may not work for someone else and it's fine #so i always make sure to throw in little reminders that every trans person will want different things for themselves #some will need medical transitions some Won't some will need ''all'' surgeries some Won't some will need them done quickly some Won't #some will feel This way about their egg selves some will feel That way about their egg selves etc #simultaneously Yes please do use your experience working with me to work with other trans people #but No please don't think they are all going to be like me or should do things the way i did them

#random rambles #Technically I'm done with this month's header since yesterday.#Practically I've been feeling so insecure about it I've been procrastinating looking for an icon or uploading it at all #Like it *was* natural to have a downgrade in themes I've said it myself a lot of times. After 24+ themes it's understandable I'd run out–#of inspiration (or even simply material) for the very cool stuff #That said. I did very much spend the whole entire day from when I woke up to when I (started studying at past 2am) went to sleep on it #That's what I get for working with the anime tbh. Bones artstyle is ugly there's little to be done about it #While making it I also came up with other two themes concepts.#One is probably going to replace September's plan and the other idk will probably slid to the next year #Idk looking at this year's planned themes lineup it all feels full of things I'm not skilled enough to make...#On top of everything this February's theme wasn't even what I had initially planned!! The one I had initially planned was a chapter 33 pane #Idk why I didn't follow up with it. Maybe I've just grown to think manga panels are too simple (terrible choice) (rip)#I think the thing that bugs me with both the initially picked image and the anime header I made yesterday–#is that there's no smooth transition with the blog. And I know it's not a big deal but pretty much all my themes do and it's bothering me..#And it shouldn't. Like nearly everyone uses an header that is sharply separate from the blog and they make it work #Uhm..............#Idk I should be studying besides.#I think I'll either go looking for an icon and see how the overall theme looks on the blog. Maybe I'll like it better then.#Or I'll just start over and see if I can use the ch 33 panel I had in mind and see if I'll like THAT better #It'd just be a shame if after all the time I've spent on it yesterday I'd just let it lie unused on my computer #There's also the fact that black and white of the manga doesn't feel very February-esque... (Don't ask)#Ugh. I hate looking for icons it's always the worst part 😭😭😭#I was considering the last Beast Atsushi illustration (because ofc I was) but idk. Idk if I can make it work.#And part of me is also like “don't use beautiful Hoshikawa Beast Atsushi on an ugly theme” LOL #But I also suffer heavily from the lack of Beast in this year's lineup.#Okay rant over. Shutting up now #Edit: If this month's theme is ugly please be kind #Edit 2: Jk I've found like four icons. Maybe I'm just very dramatic

Methinks for my dnd session next week I need to plan out how to become friends with my dungeon master

#he’s so fucking cool and I’m in love with him #I don’t talk to really anyone else in the group I’m just kinda there #but he seems to like me #like the quotes channel in our dnd server is minimum 75% stuff that I said #so he thinks I’m funny!!#how does one transition from acquaintance to friend #idc about coming off as eager at this point I AM EAGER #I am eagerness incarnate #hmmm #time to shadow him on discord and find out his interests #we probably have something else in common #and then I can bring it up in passing later!!#and he’ll know we have that thing in common :)#guys my rizz is unmatched #I am THE skibidi rizzler guys #my sigma swag is irresistible
