Wip wednesday!! Sicktmeber? edition (sorta...) [LMK SEASON 5 SPOILERS!!]

“And what about you, young monkey?”  MK looked back up at Xiangliu. “Huh?” “What brings you back to your mother’s temple?”  MK frowned. “She’s not my mom. She’s just… a lady… who created me.” He crossed his arms. “Look man, if anything, the rock is my mom!”  Xiangliu chuckled. “Whatever you say, Xiaotian. But that does not answer my question.”  MK looked away from the beast. His gaze resting gently on everything it touched as he examined the room around him. The walls of paintings, the gold and jade jeweled treasures, finally landing on the statue of Nuwa.  He was almost impressed with how it looked exactly like her. He wondered if the temple was man made or not. He noticed how the older something was made to depict one of the immortals the closer to their actual likeness it was. Things that were made more recently seemed to have a lot more creative liberties to them. He supposed that was just how things like that went.  He turned back to Xiangliu but didn’t look at him. Instead opting to look down at the shards of vase, kicking them back towards the pile of things. “I dunno…” he mumbled.  “You sure did put on a show to get here.” “Wha—?” Xiangliu sat up and gave an over exaggerated fake cough into his arm before throwing MK a knowing smirk.  “That’s not—that wasn’t—” MK frowned. “How the heck do you know about that? Have you been spying on me?!” MK’s fists clenched angrily.  Xiangliu held up his hands defensively. “Calm down, Xiaotian,” he spoke calmly. “I have much better things to do than constantly keep my eyes on you.”  The way he said ‘eyes’ and how the snakes that made up his hair seemed to look at MK at the word made the man wonder just how many of those eyes Xiangliu really could see out of.  MK shoved his hands into his pockets and gave another kick at the vase shards. “Coulda’ fooled me,” he bit back. He gave a big, dramatic roll of his eyes, letting his head move with them as if the action was heavy enough to move it along with. “You did so much watching after you woke me up!” His voice echoed through the halls as it grew louder. MK could only end his sentence with a glare to the beast.  To his credit, Xiangliu did look somewhat sheepish. He sighed, letting his feet fall back to the floor and taking a gentle step towards MK. “Xiaotian,” he spoke softly. “You must understand, I meant no ill will upon you with my actions.” He opened his arms and gave a grand smile. “I wanted to give you life! I wanted to give you a gift that not even Nuwa had planned to allow you! Give you life experience to make your own choices and in the end choose your own destiny. Not one that she-” he threw out an angry hand towards the statue that quietly listened to their conversation “-predetermined for you!” MK’s shoulders slumped visibly. He looked away from the other and he could no longer hide the sorrow from his eyes.  Xiangliu also dropped his hands, watching the expression on the other and matching his falter.  “I can’t help but think that… maybe I still made the wrong choice…”  Xiangliu frowned harder at that. Now a touch of frustration edging into his expression. “You are missing the point of this all,” he sighed. “Choices are not inherently right or wrong. A decision you make has much more behind it than good or bad. The experiences you had—the experiences I woke you for—guided your choices. You did not have black or white intentions as no one ever does. The human experience is so layered and detailed. Isn’t that wonderful?”  “Not if I’ve just doomed everyone all over again!” MK shouted.

Pit Babe Colors Ep. 4

Because I have asks in my inbox about the color coding in Pit Babe even though I don't want to watch it, I'm challenging myself with this show and seeing how good my color skills really are. I'm doing my normal thing of watching it double-speed on mute, but now, I'm going to take off the captions.

I ship it. The reds are bad, but I don't trust a single blue except Alan. Kim is a honest red. I appreciate that in a show FULL OF LIARS!

Yes, Barbara! Be upset with this fake blue boy. Are you telling him how you saw him with Jeffery?!

I know Babe and Charlie are end game, but without subtitles, my hate for Charles grows each episode. The visuals are telling me he is a liar who does not respect boundaries. Charles should be with Waymond the way they both are LIARS!

And this is why I trust Alan, and only Alan. Drinking that color-coded product placement like his life depended on it.

Waymond, I trusted you. Then you turned red last episode, and now I'm noticing how you don't. wear. blue.

Y'all just talking freely in front of THE SPY NAMED JEFFREY!

Every episode, I feel worse for Barbara. Someone get him out of here (not Waymond or Charles, but a secret third option).

GOD DAMN IT! Not him! Why is everyone so handsy in this show?!

Something is happening! I'm so tempted to turn on the subtitles. Something is going on. What is Waymond telling Barbara?! Because something is clicking for Barbara. This is good acting because Barbara's posture changed. WHAT IS BEING SAID?!

Before he was a Slut for Christ, Barbara had a steering wheel necklace.

Waymond, what did you do because you are in love with our Barbie? Did you make a deal with the devil aka Big Red?

IT HAPPENED AGAIN?!

Babe's posture changed. What is Way telling him?! What is happening?! This is strange. I don't like it.

Wait, did we know Jeff and Charlie were roommates? Was Babe just jealous of them being roommates? Did I think they were lying when Babe is just being jealous?

What is happening?! See, nah. Even if Babe knew they were roommates, I still don't trust Charlie because this incident is too convenient. Babe gets attacked and Charlie just happens to be around. And he isn't even fighting back. This is the fight with Kim all over again. Something is off.

I do not like it here. These two pop up every time there is trouble, and Jeffery keeps staring at everyone all sus like, and BABE RUN AWAY RIGHT NOW! Big Red is there. GET OUT!

There are no colors to guide me here, but I trust Kim, so . . . did Winner send people to hurt Babe and Kim is upset about it? Nah. I don't trust Charles soooooo much, that I'm still betting that he set that up.

I know you and Kim will be a thing, Kenta, and I've thought you were good since the first episode, but I need you to pick a color that ain't black. I trust your future boyfriend, so I'm extending you some grace as you stand next to the devil.

Barbara, why is this man in your house? Did you invite him over or did he not respect another boundary? You probably told him to come over because *love* or whatever. Disgusting. I'm as annoyed as you, Barbara.

He had an entire sling on just hours ago making sandwiches, and now he is slicing and dicing. Don't tell me they have special healing powers. I don't want to know. Babe looks unwell, and Charlie is being creepy, and I'm in my feelings about it.

Jeffrey isn't bothered by touch anymore? Are they already sleeping together then. Babe needs to quit arguing with Jeffrey because the trailer had a car on fire, and I KNOW Jeffrey will be behind it.

Normally, I'd be thrilled for colorful characters, but I 👏🏾 Don't 👏🏾 Trust 👏🏾 Them 👏🏾

Y'all, does Babe know they are roommates, and is just jealous?! I still don't trust Charles or Jeffrey, but now I'm thinking I'm judging them too harshly if Babe is being irrationally jealous instead of being lied to.

So either Jeffrey is coming up with the plan to sabotage the car or he is seeing the future (where he sabotages the car).

I don't care if Babe knew Charles and Jeffrey are roommates and is just being jealous. Charles has no respect for boundaries and is a color faker; therefore, I hate him.

WHY ARE YOU WEARING BLUE AND RED, PETER?! You're wearing more blue though. Why was Kenta watching you? Why did he call Big Red? Why will you end up with Way? CAN I TRUST YOU, KATNISS?!

Babe is at his darkest watching his stalker lurk around his house.

Barbara shook Kimberly's hand, and that's all I need to support my Kim-is-a-good-red theory. But then Charles is watching this game with Sus Bros & Co, so I'm mad all over again.

JEFFREY, I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DID THIS, I HOPE ALAN CHOKES YOU TO DEATH! And if it was Winner, who was SMILING, I hope Kim chokes you to death.

Alan, don't trust either of their asses. Do you hear me?! Go save our Barbie from the clutches of Charles before it's too late.

Afterthoughts: I really think watching this show without subs was the dumbest idea I've had because now I think I got some of the plot wrong and Babe is just super jealous instead of being lied too, and I'm wrongfully trusting Kim, but I'm committed to the bit. It's too late to turn them on now, and I refuse to go back and watch these episodes with subs since I'm so mad at Charles, Jeffrey, and Waymond who is doing some strange stuff to Barbara.

I only trust Babe, Alan, Kim, and Pete (because he is pretty).

Everyone else is a liar, liar, pants on fire.

Hey guys, it's Vivien. Just kind of wanted to take the chance to I guess... address a few things that have been bothering us since we started Systober. Terry doesn't want to tackle this, so instead I'm taking over so we can hopefully get this dealt with. Anyone who's been paying close attention to the blog has probably noticed that we've been getting increasingly hostile anon messages. In addition to this, we've been banned from the "Anti-Endo Systems" tumblr community, presumably because of the posts on our blog. From what we can tell, the general consensus of the system community re: us seems to be that we're faking, that we're "secretly" endogenic, or that there's something else wrong with us besides being a system. So - just to address some of the controversy that's been leveraged towards us?

Yeah - we don't have to justify jack shit. Unlike our host, I don't respect literally any of you people, and I'm not going to mince words; we're sick of stumbling upon posts about how people think systems "should behave", about which behaviors they feel are "really DID" and which ones are "delusional". We're sick of being picked apart over shit like the complexities of our inner world, our willingness to leverage our own visualization tools to aid in our recovery, and our open-ness in talking about both of these. So starting right now, we're distancing ourselves from the system community on tumblr. None of our posts going forward will be tagged. I'm here to make art for me, my system, and our friends, and I'm tired of attracting the attention of idiots who want to upset our host and ruin the stability we all work hard towards maintaining. If you stumble upon our blog and you don't like what's here, fuck off. Vivien out.

homest[ar/uck] posting. this was meant to be supplementary to the gerome comic as him 'explaining the joke' but i uhhhhhh forgot.

i'm not much for crossovers in the the traditional sense, but it IS one of my favorite character exploration exercises to just go like 'if x media existed in this universe, who would and would not be a fan of it?'. and these ones are pretty notorious and always very fun to mess with for that and so here we are

tommy is only in denial sometimes

[thisistheheartspeaking]

The world has become so twisted that a constant act of kindness given freely and unconventionally gets taken for granted while those offered with a price gets treasured. I have learnt not to be generous in giving my time, my shoulder, my ears and certainly not a single space in my heart. It's in our nature to appreciate things with high prices. I guess that's how people view kindness today. A mere 'thing' that holds no value.

Hey btw can we agree that s2 was pretty boring and not very funny and that basically the reason why we were so obsessed with it was because of the Final Fifteen? Or is that still too early?

[bred-is-a-dumb-name]

I swear to God if one more person tells me "Well you look fine" during a flare up or otherwise disabling moment I might just snap. What part of invisible illness doesn't register. Do you want me to show you my fucked up organs??? Do you wanna see em??? Is that what itll take for you to admit im not healthy???? Augh.
