funny thing that happened to me today:
I was on the phone with my dad, and we talked about the news. I told him I'm a bit scared because of the current political situation.
Dude asks me why I'm scared, and then, get this, he goes: Do you even know what exactly fear is?
BRO.
OH DO I KNOW WHAT FEAR IS.
When I tell you I was flabbergasted.
#this is so funny to me but also so sad#just another example of my parents not knowing anything about me bc they don't give a shit 🤡#the context was that he was questioning my knowledge and intelligence btw#he also didn't give me any comfort - if anything he made it worse#my entire family (minus my brother and I) is far right so you can already guess who they support#well anyway the whole fear thing was too funny not to post#scarecrow and psychology are literally two of my biggest interests like bruh#jonathan crane#dc#batman#the scarecrow#scarecrow#there is nothing to fear but fear itself#fear#news#world news#scared#silly#irl story#V's life#family#dad#stupid

Bluepoch gave us the gift of barely-subtext tragic sapphic-centric media do NOT throw that away.
Context regarding PJSK and Undertale under cut.
Project Sekai cast is dominated by female characters but mlm is more popular, meanwhile Undertale has canon wlw rep and oh my god they’re at the bottom. I have nothing against these fandoms or media (I’m literally currently/was in them) but yeah. I just HOPE r99 doesn’t end up in a similar state.
#mochagaming#if r99 ever gets even more popular and people somehow manage to out-yaoi the yuri i may actually buy a gun#‘write more yuri then’ I AM <3 AND LETS KEEP WRITING YURI R99 NATION#this is an irrational fear btw#especially since the fandoms i previously in kept fixating on the men in women-centric media#which is not bad#good for them#but its alienating for me LOL#thankfully rn r99 fandom is still diligent woman appreciators so thanks guys#keep it up#I HAVE NOTHING AGAINST MEN OR MLM#I JUST REALLY NEED THAT SAPPHIC SPOTLIGHT#LET THIS DESPERATE LESBIAN DREAM THAT HER FAV GAME STAYS YURIFUL#(because fandom activity genuinely affects the game itself so…)#reverse 1999#I am not trying to discourage any form of fandom content#But if I see someone complain about ‘lack of men’ in this game I… I genuinely dont know??? what to say???#we dont even have enough lesbian rep. it is always cast aside.#it should be prioritized (by bluepoch) i think#like to charge reblog to cast

More Possessed Doll Au (the au was created by @phoenixcatch7 so go check them out they do great stuff!)
Honestly this would be early-ish I am thinking into Bruce doing his vigilante work with the doll body. Or he just straight up has thick eyeliner/raccoon makeup lol.
#batman au#batman#dc#dcu#cryptid batman#possessed doll au#art#sketch#I like to think that the lil bat hoodie was made for him as a gift lol#Completely unrelated but I am just rotating like#Bruce's friends like Diana and Clark learning about the fact that he has two bodies#Also just Bruce finding each of his kids and doing his best not to scare them when his body and the bat itself is supposed to invoke fear#Just#Slowly coaxing the terrified child over to check them over for injuries and then they end up clinging because once he registers as safe#he is SAFE like wtf would try and attack this THING to get to a tiny child? Nothing in their opinion#Scary dog privilage but it's the 10'+ giant puppet and the dozen or so kids clinging to him#Gosh y'know what I am now rotating the league learning that the Bat isn't human the first time again and the aftermath of it#If you haven't checked out Phoenix's writing for that Go Do It Now#bruce wayne#ibispaintx#why does all my good art happen when I am sleep deprived or in the bath lol

seeing non-black people critique rick's portrayal of black characters is interesting sometimes. only like 30% of the critiques I see make any sense to me to be honest
#“rick made carter be an elvis presley fan that's fucked up!” is a real thing I just read#do you think black people can't enjoy elvis even though he appropriated black culture for personal gain#boy you would not like what I have to tell you about eminem. or kpop. or anything else bc black culture has been#appropriated by like everyone forever. are black people not allowed to enjoy iggy or ariana or billie or [the list goes on]#I myself am not biracial but I /mostly/ like carter and sadie (specifically carter who isn't white-passing) as black representation#the part where carter feels indignant that he has to hold himself to a higher standard because the world is harsher on black boys#did genuinely resonate with me when I first read that part as a child and it still does to this day#can we talk about how rick knows nothing about black hair instead#or how hazel is from the jim crow era and seems to not have one single thought about race in the modern era#or hazel's horror over the amazons keeping slaves but “no they're not slaves they just like it that way 🥰”#my problems with hazel are not at all about stereotypes I just don't buy her as an authentic portrayal of a black girl from the 1930s#don't get me started on beckendorf. does every black character need to die a violent horrible death rick#anyways this isn't intended to make anyone feel bad but we need more meaningful nuance in critiques beyond “hey that's a stereotype! bad!”#if you can't discern and communicate WHY it's bad then you're not saying anything of substance#is it a caricature? is it uninformed/underresearched? are all the characters from that group being represented in that way?#is the stereotype itself a degradation of that group? is it being played for laughs? is the character a one-dimensional stereotype?#what can we glean about the biases of the author/narrative and their worldview through their portrayal of certain groups in the text?#a big part of literary analysis and critique is not only pointing out The Thing. you need to also say something about The Thing#like if you have a black character say they like hiphop then sure it's a “stereotype”. but lots of black people do like hiphop#it's an important part of black american culture and portraying that in media isn't racist by default#and in fact lots of poc keep parts of themselves quiet for fear of being perceived as a “stereotype” when we shouldn't have to do that#BUT if you're doing it like jonah wizard was written in the 39 clues then that's where we've got a problem bc wtf was that rick#that was so racist oh my god I was like 11 years old reading that 😭 and then he had the white mc poke fun at him for being a gangster#and him being a “gangsta” was always played for laughs throughout the story#not being pro-rick here as I'm a big fan of critical riordan reading just being pro-thoughtful critiques because some of you guys actually#sound a wee bit ignorant when saying things like what was mentioned in the first tag#baye.txt#pjo hoo toa#rr crit#<- tagging that just for. well the tags basically

I am pretty new and not as involved to the d20 fandom but seeing people say that Neverafter failed as a horror and fairytale season bc the players were not interested in the idea is so stupid. It's not like you HAVE to like something but saying that the players did not care? It's just objectively wrong.
Lou's explanation of his view of Pinocchio and any Emily interaction with the wolf alone elevate those fairy tales. If there is something that can never be said about the Intrepid Heroes in my opinion is that they don't care about the story they are telling.
I think people see the light hearted moments and jokes in between the horror points and immediately think that it's because they are not committed to it but in reality you have to realize that to make something like that you need to break the tension at times and have moments of release. If you don't have the release you won't feel the full tension when needed.
Also they need as people to breathe during the long ass shoots, you cannot expect them to be constantly on edge for your entertainment?
Now I am no dnd expert and my opinions are merely based on the story and the role playing/acting itself as a spectator but I will never take anyone that says that the cast doesn't care about telling the story seriously.
The thing that got me into watching their campaigns with my very minimal dnd knowledge was exactly that. The heart they put in everything they do. The way they always reach deep and try their best at telling a story that is worthwhile.
Some characters and stories may not resonate with some people or you may not vibe with the way things are structured/developed and that's okay. But doubting their commitment and genuineness puts you in the wrong immediately in my eyes.
#yapping time#i am watching the second half rn and i honestly love it so much#i fear it may surpass tuc in my ranking which is wild honestly#the premise is just soo my thing and the characters as usual are wonderful#anyway some people really talk to talk and have nothing substantial to say#you could simply say you didn't vibe with it but criticizing the players itself and their commitment is stupid af#d20#dimension 20#neverafter#intrepid heroes#brennan lee mulligan#d20 neverafter

urgh angel devil brainworms but its js me thinking abt what other things from the christian canon would be as devils
#I need a God devil to be real#and I say God w a capital g bc that’s a very specific thing#like God would be more feared than an angel#which also angel seems to represent the lowest class of angel so would there also be a seraphim devil or a cherub devil?#is there a demon devil?? satan??#we have the hell devil but satan(/lucifer if we wanna go seven sins route) being the prince/ruler of hell could make dynamics in hell crazy#also would the devil be more feared or the concept of hell itself#like o my god idk#maybe this all gets explained in p2 so maybe I’m going insane over nothing#anyways four horsemen are SICK and lowkey the reason I even started yapping#but also idk biblical mythology is deeply fascinating and I mourn my inability to push through the genesis bc i need to read the Bible#I feel like that one girl that read the bible bc she saw evangelion#like that’s me w csm#for absolutely no reason other than ‘biblical devils go brr’#ANYWAYS gonna stop yapping in the tags now and return to akiangel fanfic#bullshitting

actually so evil how much of hal's internal world gets obliterated with the rewriting of his relationships with jessica and martin.
#hal jordan#empyrean posting#ok going in the tags because im not actually v confident in my understanding of his character. i read all of his 80s/90s stuff but forgot#90% of it but ANYWAY.#so much of him just does not make sense with how geoff johns characterises him and his relationships with his parents particularly the#parallax stuff simply because of how much his relationship with the guardians and their apathy/'betrayal' is influenced by hal's original#relationship with his dad. like at its heart it's pretty much the same dynamic in how hal blindly trusts and sort of idolises the guardians#despite their repeated infractions in hope of... something in return just as he had with his father and the abuse he suffered at martin's#hands. that's what makes his anger at the guardians make sense when it does show itself because the relationship parallel didn't stop there.#as with martin hal gets nothing for his devotion. he gets nothing for doing everything that's asked of him and more and it ends the same way#too: with a man in the sky burning like a newborn star. and you lose so much of that nuance and intrigue behind that if you just make#jessica the 'bad one' because!!! you cheapen it!!!!#the whole idea of hal is that he has his father's face but his mother's scars#(to me). in the sense that they both reacted to martin the same way with that cognisance of who he was as a man yet inability to pull away#because... love. both the love they had for him and the conviction that he did or could love them too. and jessica arguably did eventually#but also she didnt did she? because she held onto that notion of love till the very end. the few scraps she had she ballooned outwards until#they became the whole. but hal didnt have even that and he spent his whole life chasing it & running away from wanting it at the same time#like i think there's something so interesting to the fact that he had to be convinced that flying was what he wanted to do. how much of that#was touched by his father? the fear that he was already too much like him than he could bear to be? he already had his face now he had his#dreams and longing for the sky. how much more could he have before he began repeating the cycle?#and at the end he even had his father's death. burning in the clouds. like there's so much there and that's not even touching on how it#impacts his relationships with other heroes. not just in the sense of why did kyle clark and diana get to keep their close yet complex#relationships with their moms when hal had to lose his (although yeah why did they) but also just how he lets himself come across to them.#because it's on purpose right? that he lets them think his reflection of his father is born out of unadulterated love for a man worthy of it#? he has his father's job he wears his father's jacket he smiles his father's smile. what else are they supposed to think.#and isnt that interesting!!! that this man who is so committed to being good & just can lie so casually to people he thinks of as friends!!!#can you see how that might be his mother through and through!!! in how she might have glossed over the abuse to other people and herself!!!#can you see how in spite of it all he might want to be perceived as his father that paragon of masculinity and resent that he is not!!!#do you understand how everything he loves has been poisoned!!! im thinking of that scene where he tells bruce about watching martin die &#wouldnt it have been so much more interesting through this lens. how he is both revealing & obfuscating at once. i hate the change sm

oh sm entertainment downfall is really happening as we speak that's crazy
#this is nothing exactly new#bc we have been seeing a lot of their long time artists#ending contracts and going to other companies#and now someone anonymously on a forum that allegedly works for sm#said the company has been a mess#a lot of staff is leaving the company#they said that the company is failing to protect both artists and staff#and they said that the kwagya 119 thing is just for show#bc they don't actually do anything which is like.... something we all have noticed LOL#but having confirmation of this is crazy#also the fact that boa has been vocal about receiving harassment#and saying she is gonna retire and sm not doing anything abt it#like... all of these things just explain why sm is making insane decisions#when it comes to basically EVERYTHING#this downfall is deserved i just fear for the future of the groups under sm#and also the trainees that are there too#but for the company itself... this is just karma working idgaf this is what you get bitch#tris.txt

seen a lot of people saying that episode 13 is a spider episode, but am i the only one who sees it as a desolation episode? idk it’s just the cycle of the finance bro clawing his way up to ultimate fortune by losing everything else, and at the end of it all he doesn’t even get to keep his riches. he literally has nothing by the end of it, he’s burned every bridge, alienated himself from his friends and parents and completely fucked up his health. all that suffering just for one terrible loss, he got a taste of the top and it was stolen from him right at the finish line. life metaphorically going up into flames.
#the magnus protocol#magnus protocol#the web argument has good points tho#compulsion and addiction and honestly i think luck in of itself is pretty web coded#having to trust the one thing you are physically incapable of changing to guide your life#very ‘my will means nothing all factors are out of my reach’#but would the web honestly let people cheat it? maybe that’s why all the luck-based people die horrible on-screen deaths#maybe the web has shifted to chance#the fears have been reconfigured#i remember seeing that somewhere#maybe luck is some sort of desolation web hybrid fear#fear of the loss that comes with a complete and utter lack of control#and with the episode#it’s also lowkey a capitalism metaphor but i feel like i’d word an explanation wrong#man finds app that lets him profit on suffering of others#find loophole and hurts himself + those around him#app terminates him because he made money from his own suffering instead of ruining everyone else’s life#man destroys himself for profit and gets none of it

something about being told im 'the leading person at this whole academy when it comes to interpretation and stage intelligence' by the husband of the woman im trying (not really. but i mean. who knows) to seduce... ok boy you got me. lets make it a polycule.
#im playing it all cool and funny now but atm i legit burst into tears lol#like he said i have a 'good voice too of course' but i know realistically that is not my strongest asset#and even if i were technically perfect. which im NOT lol. the voice itself is just nothing special. it's there ig but that's about it#but its nice to know i may not be 100% useless after all#(just 90%)#also apparently the most feared and respected professor who came to the concert said. again. that he likes me the most.#which again. crying real actual tears about this all rn this means literally the world to me this is everything i have#and i have no one to share this with because im not gonna say it to my uni friend cause i dont want her to feel like im boasting or sth#(even tho she has no such qualms herself but probably because i know how. not great. it feels when someone keeps talking about themselves#and about how great they are and how easy everything is for them. i dont wanna do it back at her.#well there's also the fact that i dont think im great and this is not fucking easy to me at all lol#but idk i think the difference between us is that she actually admitted she sees no point in singing if she cant show off (thus she hates#the duet we're singing because she sings the lower part and cant show off her high notes or coloratura.#which is like. an insane take to me. i mean it i get it. kinda. if i had a voice like hers maybe id be like that too fuck knows.#but that just feels so. idk. sad to me. so self obsessed and empty. like you dont care about the music itself? about you being a part of it?#also immediately made singing with her not fun anymore. i thought we were creating something TOGETHER. but thanks for the confirmation#that you only really care about being 'better than'. yikes.#like idk this behaviour is funny and iconic in old school opera legends like yes go bite each others dicks off.#but it hits completely different when it's your own colleague let alone your friend. like damn girl. damn)#) anyway. the husband is kinda hot too now that i think of it. i really should seduce them both.#except its realistically not possible since they've both seen me cry now (she saw it like a hundred times lol)#so ive lost the hot and mysterious card alas. no uni professors romance for me

Ugh..narrator...
#slay princess spoilers in these tags alex don readdd#i should be sleeping rn but while i was work i couldnt stop thinking abt#how much i feel like the narrator relates to me in how ocd affects me#hes not just afraid of change hes afraid of possibility. but thats not what he thinks hes afraid of he justifies his fear as#wanting to protect the world from seein death ever again#but in truth he wants to kill the embodiment of change itself#my mind is hazy but like i can get it because so many times i just hope that#things just stop#because i think abt so many possibilities so bad that it hurts me a lot#only thinking about the bad possibitilies and the good possibilities never go through my mind#i think so much abt everything that could happen if i do anything that i try my best at avoiding it#and if i fall into not doing it feels empty and stagnant#its safe but it feels really bad and i feel bad abt my fear#and thats what the narrator wants for the full scope of the world cos he thinks that will be better for everyone#dont get me wrong hes very wrong lol but hes so human at the same time#it only gets more clear by his nightmare where he describes that every good moment in life is a short omen for something horrible to happen#next#thats so ocd to me man “oh fuck this is too good something bad will happen”#bitch should have gone to therapy instead of trapping the gods of reality itself trapped in a torture bubble lol#or he should have played satbk#sonic is always right#also i get a lot of ocd vibes from the cage but its slightly different#she thinks she already knows whats going to happen and doesnt try to test another possibility#the only way to save her is to prove to her that what she thinks will happen isnt set in stone. she cant know what will happen#even if her past trauma feels like enough proof that things will be the same- she cant know...#also how she thinks her body is acting on its own and that it has nothing to do with her but it does she just cant see it#cage....#also i love how she comes from prisoner. because prisoner is actually very reasonable in her distrust of you but she believes that her plan#will work#but it doesnt and it turns into the trsuma that turns her in cage cos every worry feels like its the truth

i know it’s been a bit over a year since it happened, but i’m still lowkey mad that matt got laid off like that lmao
#the hater gene in me will never go away i fear#the only reason my anger isn’t as huge as when his firing was first announced#is because AH ended up not being a thing anymore almost exactly 1 year after that#so he’d be out of a job regardless#a reminder this halloween is that nothing is scarier than the uncertainty of life itself
