A balanced life perspective
A balanced life perspective
Sometimes we are reminded of a message that is deep and meaningful at the most important of times. Over the past few days, I keep coming across these two phrases, “I am but dust and ashes” and its contrast, “For my sake was the world created.” According to Rabbi Dr. Abraham Twerski, in Growing Each Day, it is said that:
Rabbi Bunim of Psis’cha said that everyone should have two pockets; one to…

you've posted (or maybe it wash just in tags) about the knight eddie story youve worked on before and i have not been able to get the idea out of my head
oh, nonnie. oh. (i definitely have. in tags and posts for a few months now haha)
but you know when fics get so big behind the scenes and suddenly you're scared to post it? like, you've got several full chapters written, an entire world and magic system built, and an entirely fleshed out OC, but like... the thought of sharing it with the world is just? scary? yeah. that's where i am.
knight!eddie also doesn't leave my head. i just don't want to post this monster of a fic that honestly reads more like a fantasy novel because i don't know if y'all would like it haha. it's very intense and genuinely doesn't read like just a fic. it reads like a book. it is a book at this point. if y'all really are interested, i could always post snippets and such. it's not a matter of characterization and stuff, but... i just put a lot of work into it and it's my baby lol
#it's a monster#i had to make it an oc for the sake of the fact that some of the magic system i created refers to hair and eye color#also the name i chose is really fun#i think about it every day#and write it a lot on the side just for fun when i hit blocks on my wips i do intend to publish!#i've even had ideas for making it as a fucking TRILOGY#YOU DON'T PLAN TRILOGIES FOR FICS#YOU DON'T CREATE WHOLE NEW WORLDS THAT ONLY NOD LOVINGLY BACK AT THE ORIGINAL CONTENT FOR FICS#i really fucking snatched eddie munson and steve harrington out of the duffers' hands and said “these are mine now”#knight!eddie prince!steve and witch!oc my beloveds#anyways#thank u ily#there's also another knight!eddie fic out there that has a similar theme included in this and i don't want to step on toes#even when i know my story is VERY different#i won't even read it in fear of it influencing this fic waahhh#which makes me sad because... knight!eddie#if you read these tags i love you extra

i wonder why the game devs made the decision to give life orbs to some of the pkmn on N's season battle teams. that just seems like...jarringly out-of-character.
#were they just trying to make mechanically strong teams with no regards to characterization...?#because the alternative is that he's going 'yeah i still hate pokeballs and want to create a better world for pokemon but also i've decided#i'm totally okay with hurting my friends for the sake of winning a low-stakes battle now :)'#nposting#n pokemon#n harmonia#trainer n#pokemon bw#pokemon b2w2#pokemon n#natural harmonia gropius#honestly n in the bw2 postgame is a lot of. 'ok yeah that makes sense that makes sense wait what why would he do THAT'#(someday i'll get that post about how giving you the dragon doesn't make sense edited into a coherent form.)#oncilla speaks

2024 if you fuck me up I will never forgive you
#why did i chip a filling i’ve had for two years. at least it’s only Chipped i guess. not fully gone#but what the fuck bro. why#i was eating the softest food in the world too. literally chicken korma and rice with a naan. SOFT#maybe the naan was chewy and the sauce was sticky and it created a lethal combination idk#i have to call the dentist tomorrow and for what#i love spending money i don’t have on dental work 🫠 y’know i really.. i really love seeing that money come in every week#and thinking ‘you know what i’m going to spend that on? having teeth’#if anyone younger than me is reading this brush your teeth right now. then floss them. please#i’m not going to tell you to use mouthwash because i don’t use mouthwash because it’s a horrible sensory experience for me#on like 3 different levels. but like. whatever you do just don’t end up like me#i’m just so Annoyed because it’s literally a tiny bit of tooth that’s come off but because it’s like.. the edge of the molar right where it#touches the next tooth; it feels Really uncomfortable. and i know i’m going to get in and they’ll be like ‘but did you floss it?’#NO i didn’t floss it. for fuck’s sake. why do you think i’m back here after two years#i hope they can fix it fast this time. last time what happened was i went in and they were like ‘okay wow.. so your tooth has chipped#and the part that came off has basically embedded itself in your gum’ so they had to basically dig it out (sans anaesthetic#because i refused it because it doesn’t work on me anyway) and then my gum was bleeding so much they were like ‘we can’t fill this’#they gave me a temporary filling. fell off within 4 weeks. gave me another one (no charge for that one) it again fell off in four weeks#at which point it was late 2021 when there was no official lockdown but medical professionals were refusing to see anybody whatsoever#you were hearing about people removing their own teeth at home. it was wild. anyway i finally got a proper filling 4 months later#and then today i ate rice and it fell off. probably because i don’t floss. possibly because it just wasn’t a good filling#most of it is definitely still on there but i’m now prodding it with my tongue like ‘are you going to bail on me too?’#i feel like i need to look in there and make sure it’s not in my gum. i don’t want a repeat of last time#fix me the same day i go in to get it looked at or so help me#personal

watching DSOD again...
Boy, I can't wait for LittleKuriboh to do his abridged version of it!
There is so much he can play with, even aside from the heavy Prideshipping! I wonder what he'll do of Diva. And I'm sure he'll have a lot of fun with Kaiba and make a very emotional thing when Yugi tells Kaiba that Atem won't return.
Pharaoh Ex Machina.
Next to that, what Shadi says about conflict and fear, it's totally KAIBA he's describing!
We could think it's about Diva, but sorry not sorry, somone who's so afraid to lose (duels or people he loves) he does absolutely everything to prevent it like:
desecrating tombs,
theft of ancient artifacts,
blackmail,
attempted murder,
mass control and surveillance,
exclusion of non-Duellists (while preaching peace and inclusion, like shut up, you wealthy drama queen!),
kidnapping,
having his own fucking secret police,
building his own private space station to revive a dead guy because he still craves to deafeat him (or because he's madly in yandere love with him!), it's SETO KAIBA!
Even Diva says so! He's a "tyrant who has turned crazy"!
Yes! HE IS!!
He brags about peace and inclusion but dude, if you exclude certain castes of people from "your" land, arbitrarily arrest people, blackmail others, mass-watch them and do some nasty antiquities-trafficking with an obviously corrupted foreign government, HOW can you expect war and social exclusion will stop??
I mean, is there no political power in Yu-Gi-Oh's Japan?? No powerful or influencial people to say "hey! look Seto Kaiba is a little shit who does shit!" ?? Or does he own the Japanese police and governement too?? wouldn't surprise me
How come no one arrested him after all his bullshit?? Oh yeah! Because HE is the police! He's the cockiest, jerkiest, maddest rich bastard ever yet I love him so much!!
Diva and Kaiba have many common things to talk about together in fact. If neither of them had a monstrous narcissistic ego that is.
Ah. And Kaiba is the villain of the movie. I still wonder how it would've looked like if HE had put on the Millenium Ring.
*shudders* (would have turned R18 because horrors and blood and gore.)
Joey still has wet dreams of Kaiba.
Shadi is the Buddha.
#yu-gi-oh#dark side of dimensions#dsod#seto kaiba#mokuba put this man in a mental institution#for his and the world's sake#kaiba is the real diva#he even talks like one#GASP!#did HE create the shitty world of#yu gi oh 5ds#??#i didn't watch that anime#guys#tell me#if my theory is right#like yeah everyone can live in my town#except the POOR#yuck#littlekuriboh

i will ALWAYS believe in the oscar wilde mentality of creativity
#art for art’s sake motherfucker!!!#i will draw a thing because i WANNA who cares about skill#if i write a post in purple prose romanticizing human compassion then fuck yeah!!!!#been kinda pissed off by the cynicism i’ve seen on the site as of late#i get it i’m also very much a cynic but like#guys. we can. we can have fun and play around and romanticize#c’mon. marvel at the beauty of the world with me#bit of a tangent there but like i create out of love so was it really#btw i love those political cartoons of oscar wilde as narcissus#bc i will literally stare at my own art for hours like that#why? because i like how my art looks. also i’m studying it for areas to improve but mainly i’m looking at my fav bits and going ‘heheehe <3’#anyways. who gives a shit about artistic merit or making a statement#yeah do it if you want to absolutely i do it#but not everything has to be /meaningful/. sometimes i just wanna talk#for the sake of talking#i live for life’s sake. why would i not make art for art’s sake#oscar wilde OWNED man. always trust queer artists they rule so hard forever

yet another stream of consciousness post about how i'm doing nothing with my life and it #sux or whatever
#aspen tag#it's kind of. well. i don't know how to start this off without feeling self-aggrandizing#because as true as it is that a lot of my ego roots in intelligence it's not actually the point rn. it's barely even a part of it#like. achievement doesn't come from talent. achievement doesn't even necessarily come from skill at all#achievement comes from motivation. from meaining. from something being worth doing#and. idk. i'm a thinker. my mind's always moving towards something. there's a stream of thoughts and it never stops flowing#and it's just. i mean. i LIKE thinking for the sake of thinking. i really do#i like working things out in my head and looking stuff over just to get a better picture and doing it just because it's there and i can#but none of it is going anywhere. and i'd like to be going somewhere#the thing about falling out of habits is that they become absences so easily#and it sneaks up on you. all the things in your life that are now not#i like learning and creating and puzzling through something. i like trying new things in new ways and figuring it out as i go#i like diving headfirst into whatever i happen to be working on and just living in there for a while#i like a challenge and i like investing myself and i like engaging and complex and FUN#and i don't. do anything with that anymore#i don't have hobbies. i don't get out of the house. i don't really put passion towards anything regardless of if it's there for me to have#and it's not about wasted potential. it's not about having the skill or the aptitude or the resources or any of that shit#it's about how i LIKE doing it‚ and i'm not. that's the point. that's the problem#it's just. draining. to feel like nothing in your head ever makes it into the world#if there was ever a throughline in my dissatisfaction it'd be insignificance#i have an untapped well of myself i'd so eagerly apply if i had a door or a key or any way to get it where it needs to go#but i don't. none of it seems to move anything#i don't know. i'm tired. that's all of it. distilled down into a pair of words far too simple for the weight they carry#well-worn track in the surface of my mind. every passing day the grooves deepen#and there could be a path outside of it. but i don't know how to make one#i don't know how to start. and isn't that every problem i've ever had in a nutshell#adhd! it's fantastic. i'm going nowhere and i've been going there for a long fucking while#and as far as i can tell i'll be going there for another while yet.#i guess that's all there is to it. or at least as much as i've got. i'm tired of being tired and i don't know where that leads me#but it doesn't really seem like i'm doing anything worth losing. so i might as well just let it do what it does

Writing papers for school?
Naaaaah.
Writing an entire fictional narrative for my DnD homebrew and getting hyper invested in the characters and world I'm creating?
Hell yea.
#me#dnd#I have a problem#I'm the most creative I've been in years#unfortunately it does not tie into my degree#I'm a music major for god's sake#my major should be pleasant#but fuck jazz guys#let me live my fantasy world in my head and create an evil piece of shit to follow around

Wakes up in the middle of the night absolutely fucked up on three different sleep aids to rant about how people can not fucking put together the Final Fantasy VII + spinoffs lore and EVEN STILL try to vomit these useless opinions and what x character is the WORST and why y character is blah blah blah
ENOOOOOUGH
putting these supersoldiers on top of the fridge until y'all learn what a narrative is
#i am so fucking high right now but STOP. SAYING. GENESIS TURNED SEPHIROTH EVIL#i can get into a whole dissertation about how Sephiroth and Genesis did NOT hate each other and taking an out of context final interaction#cutscene spoken for the sake of continuing the drama of the current plotline later#and it is literally a classic story of 'insecure boy becomes friends with big goddamn hero'#'surely he will not build walls of resentment and envy slowly over the course of their friendship until it clashes in one last benign fight#whic is followed up by news that 'hey dude you're fucking dying how about that? :D'#bless his complicated as fuck soul but he didn't do SHIT other than demonstrate to Sephiroth that he had lost his only remaining friend#THAT was what he contributed to the breaking of his psyche after DECADES of misery and trauma and growing up a child soldier#genesis calling him a monster didn't affect him to the level you think it did#he was going to come to that conclusion HIMSELF after learning the truth about the jenova project anyway#no doubt GENESIS probably felt like doodoo after the survivor's guilt kicked in#but he absolutely was not the one to break spehiroth.#it was a literal lifetime of psychological stress and then a release of hatred finding out he was Shinra's perfect prized abomination#who had NEVER been destined for a normal life even if he tried because WHAT IS he?#I'm not a human so fuck it fine I'm a monster I'll take that role fuck all of you#fuck this miserable world that you created for me#I'll burn it down#just me and my mother#EXHALE#i'm sorry I have opinions

[Update: Apocalypse in Pink part 2 is out now]
Before Barbenheimer, there was “Apocalypse in Pink,” the August 1983 theme of fashion/culture magazine SPECTAGORIA. The issue’s controversial imagery of Barbie-esque models attempting to stay gorgeous and glamorous amidst nuclear annihilation sought to, in the words of editor/photographer Sera Clairmont, “revel in the morbid absurdity of the new American condition,” an “anxiety vibrating underneath all our plastic smiles.”
“It’s The Hot Pink Cold War,” Clairmont wrote in her introduction. “It’s ‘Material Girl’ on the radio and ‘WarGames’ at the drive-in. It’s ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ interrupted by the emergency broadcast signal. We’re told to look sexy, dress fashionable, make money, and spend money, but be sure we’re just the right amount of terrified about the bomb. Get that Malibu dream home, keep working on that perfect body, sip cocktails by the pool in your little pink bikini and watching the stocks go up — but STAY VIGILANT! and for God’s sake vote Republican, because that dream home could melt into a pink plastic inferno at any given moment. Just don’t stop smiling as the blast liquefies your skin into bubbling ooze like a Barbie doll in a microwave - it’s bad for the economy.”
***Continued in PART 2***

NOTE: This is a work of fiction created by me. This alternate reality horror story is part of my NightmAIres narrative art series (visit that link for a lot more).

i hate you consumer culture i hate you cult of productivity i hate you imposition of life at a frenzied pace
#in a grumpy mood today sorry#that shit just takes your life away#i'm not being hypocritical and i work a lot bc i genuinely want to create and do as much as possible in this life#i believe that we only live once and that gives life meaning to me and reminds that there's only one chance to do what i want#and i crave money only bc:#i want (need actually) to emigrate asap and this requires a lot of fucking money#b) i want to be able to cover my basic fucking needs#c) i want to spend money on charity and do my best to change things for better#d) i want to be able to realize my art projects i want to print books zines do exhibitions and other things#f) i want to travel and see the world for the christ's sake#but i hate consumer culture and i hate cult of productivity#because productivity without purpose is! fucking! meaningless!#“growth for growth's sake is cancer”

Honestly I wonder what a good formula is for making a fandom so PASSIONATELY hate a character cuz people HATE morally grey characters more than villains a lotta the time BUT very SPECIFIC morally grey characters that aren't all chalked up to being Secret Heart of Gold type deal
#like all of my characters have flaws and the more and more I think about them the more flaws I give them#I don't want them to be good people I want them to be real which real people can be good but people always be makin mistakes#and watching people reacting to shows and different types of characters and seeing the various reactions ppl have to characters like#it's wild cuz most people react differently than me when it comes to characters but they don't do it in the same ways#they all have a unique idea of how the character is and react differently#which also helps me think of how all my character interact and the ways they view each other#in general real people and the common issues I see them having also helps me understand how to write character a bit#I'm just kinda bad at executing it is all#cuz people are extremely complicated and also people can act out of character for one reason or another#but it isn't really ''out of character'' it is just people acting different in different situations towards differing people#also people just might do something different for the sake of doing something different or it's just an off day y'know#it's a lot to take into consideration while creating a whole world and having like 9 main characters#like it is a group and also everyone in that group has their own backstory with TONS of people in their backstory as well#not to mention... well it's just a lot lmao#fun tho! just hard for me to get characters right a lotta the time I feel
