hiii im sure you’ve answered this before but in regards to your twst x Pokémon, how do you choose which Pokémon go give to the cast?? really curious since your choices are unique :O
unique in a good way, I hope? 😅 (jk jk I haven't come across too many pokemon AUs, so I was going in without preconceptions, I guess!) I was sorta aiming somewhere between doing, like, a full AU with internal consistency and everything, and just picking entirely based on theme/character, so maybe that's why! basically I just set some arbitrary rules (no legendaries/no repeats/evo stages based on year) and then went on ~vibes~. a couple were also suggestions (thank you guys!) and last-minute decisions, so it was a bit of a delightful mess of ideas!
my one regret is that I should have given Riddle a Togedemaru after all. ...you know what, he can have one now, why not
#art#twisted wonderland#pokemon#poketwst#okay i have one other correction to make#which is that i think vil should also have a garbodor#NO LISTEN#i have thought about it a lot but i just do not want to give him a milotic#and this is because -- now hear me out#neige would actually be the one with a milotic#(it fits his personality more and it's even in his colors!)#when they were kids vil had a trubbish and neige had a feebas and vil felt superior until the whole milotic thing happened#and he's secretly kind of bitter about it#but he also secretly loves his garbodor a lot and gets mad when people make fun of it#IS HE NOT BEAUTIFUL ENOUGH FOR BOTH OF THEM#also garbodor ferments poison inside of it! it would be the perfect alchemy assistant!#I'M RIGHT OKAY#(i am also a big fan of trubbish/garbodor and i don't personally think they're ugly anyway)#anyway enjoy this drawing because it completely exploded my computer#(it was not the drawing's fault it was just unfortunate timing)#i've mostly got things working again but oof. it's been. a day. 🙃

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.
It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.
#mental health#mental health advocacy#like... anxiety and depression are often concieved of as simple and easy to manage...#...but that isn't the case for so many of us. anxiety and depression just have a lot more research invested into them...#...and while i wish this were the case for literally every other condition it does alter people's perception of you to some extent...#...so while this is NOT solely about anxiety or depression it includes us...#...my anxiety and depression and PTSD have *destroyed* my life. this is chronic and will probably be life-long...#...and that isn't my fault. i've done the fucking work but guess what? that doesn't account for the fact that I Am Just ILL#the least we can do for each other is to be compassionate#be compassionate to those who cannot heal. be compassionate to the people who can't manage their lives. this world is scary enough#recognize that management of symptoms is something not all of us can do - even IF their condition is labeled as 'easy to manage'#i allowed myself to feel angry that i can't heal 'normally' and that was unfair as fuck toward myself#and i NEED people to internalize this so that MAYBE this could help somebody else who is where i was#i NEED them to understand that it's okay that they are where they are - sometimes shit just doesn't turn out how you expect or want#don't beat yourself over you being a person. you are struggling enough. you deserve to rest. just rest please#and just... give yourself space

paraphrased from a conversation I had on Bluesky but actually the more I think about it the more utterly insane it is that the major thing Korra is hated for is losing the past avatars. You want to know HOW she lost the past avatars? by trusting an older member of her own family who then proceeded to GRAPHICALLY violate her and destroy an actual part of her in front of her with utter glee - but Unalaq isn't denounced as even a creep and no thought is given to any of the themes behind such a scene, it's just "how could korra let this happen??!?!?!"
life imitates art i guess.
#legend of korra#korra#avatar korra#tw sa implied#unalaq#to be honest I have really complex thoughts on that scene because I THINK the writers were trying to make a commentary on family grooming#and other complex forms of abuse and manipulation#but they also portrayed Korra being beat down and violated MUCH more graphically than they did with any other character in the franchise#which is also deeply uncomfortable#and also went “oh but its VAATU'S fault” which just absolves Unalaq of any responsibility#and flattens the narrative to supernatural mind control instead of the insidious familial abuse it actually is#but either way. blaming Korra? absolutely unacceptable and an instant block from me#parallels the way people talk about real SA survivors too#and idc if its fiction im not entertaining ANY of that shit.

subject: no hard feelings! :D
#corpse party#seiko shinohara#naomi nakashima#seinao#decided to revisit corpse party to see if it was actually any good or if it was just one of the first horror games i ever experienced#well there were moments where i wanted everyone involved with creating that moment to explode. but i cannot deny#for all its faults... there was a reason this got popular and there's a reason it left an impact on me as a teen#the ending sequence w/seiko's text message even got me a bit misty-eyed#but will i ever play it again? probably not. will i recommend it to other people? also no#anyways. gay love endures 👍

my personal headcanon is the vees were unremarkable nobodies when they were alive. i just love it as a thematic throughline for them. they love to let the public of hell speculate on them being famed and acclaimed since before death, but the the truth is they were a d-list failed influencer that got by on cheap controversey and scamming, a broke junkie who burned every shaky bridge he ever had, and a worn-out broadcast production assistant with more rejected auditions and tossed out script pitches than he could count. nobody missed them when they were gone, nobody cared who they were until they were dead.
#because villains who didn't start off supremely powerful are more interesting to me#vees#it's not that they CAN'T be better. or that they're simply ignorant of the ways they fuck up others lives#they actually all do have that knowledge of being the underdog. and it's made them all the more shitty#because they never want to be those people again#narratives about people who make each other worse <3#to be clear they were still shitty people in life. manipulative. consumed by greed and envy. all their individual flaws etc etc#but hell made them into the absolute worst versions of themselves#of course what their Worst Self is and the journey/length of time/initial reaction to being in hell varies#like val sees hell as a continuation of the things happening in life. just w/ the power dynamics always privileging him#it's the same drugs and violence. except the violence isn't just survival anymore but the chance to indulge his deeply sadistic desires#vox has completely dissociated from his time alive. that person is dead and he's reinvented himself 1000 times over since then#90% of the time he has those memory files shoveled into a hidden directory#he refuses to acknowledge that he's still haunted by some of the same insecurities from almost a century ago#val doesn't necessarily see his living self in a fond light but he does see that person as fundamentally him#velvette thinks life was full of people who weren't her demographic but fortunately that's been fixed by sinners!#they just couldn't Get Her and that was all their faults#the primary way they view their past selves can be summed up as: scorn (vox) apathy (valentino) and in denial (velvette)#sorry the bulk of the post was in the tags. i will be doing this again#the scorn is the coping mechanism for shame. of course

‼️SPOILERS FOR ACE ATTORNEY INVESTIGATIONS (1 AND 2) AND THE GREAT ACE ATTORNEY‼️
Plus Kazuma, Phoenix ect
Add characters that you think would fit the category
(Btw I'm not justifying their actions, but man do I feel bad for them. After one point their lives became a freaking greek tragedy)
#ace attorney#ace attorney investigations#the great ace attorney#dai gyakuten saiban#tgaa 2#tgaa2 spoilers#tgaa spoilers#aai1#aai2#aai1 spoilers#aai2 spoilers#dai gyakuten saiban 2 spoilers#dai gyakuten saiban spoilers#tyrell badd#tobias gregson#genshin asogi#klint van zieks#katherine hall#they were doomed by the narrative and injustice in their world#and while their actions are very bad. you can see how they tried their best and failed miserably#mostly because they took justice in their own hands. because people with power who should bring this justice literally did nothing#klint and other aristocrats had the status that protected them from punishment for corruption. genshin and klint dueled#leaving a lot of people without answers and closure. hence gregson agrees to strongheart's proposal#no matter how hard badd tried the proper justice wasn't served because prosecutors and lawyers couldn't give less of a crap.#hence he thought becoming the yatagarasu might improve the situation#kate's adoptive father was put in a cell for 18 years for no fault of his own because - once again - people in power didn't care for truth#there is always something so tragic in these situations. because. yes#they did terrible things and they deserved their punishment#and there always was another way to bring better into the world. but you still can fully understand why they did what they did#could've they done better? yes. did they? no. were people in power trying to help and find the truth? absolutely not. sad.

similar cinematographic choices to portray the same imagery with insanely different circumstantial contexts
#like being tricked into a room and locked off from the outside world with a pitcher of water‚ a waste bucket‚ and an army cot#as you slowly died while experiencing acute mental distress to the point of having a psychogenic seizure at the same time#that people discussed your fate as if it were a decision they had the authority to make (and they DO. unfortunately for you)#vs being tied to chair during which you're in pretty consistent communication and under the care of the person who put you there#and you're narratively given the opportunity to hunt this person down and you even have scenes with hand to hand combat#in which you're able to properly defend yourself. for the other person the idea of your life being in danger is carefully threaded risk#to be taken rather than (as per the previous circumstance described) a decision you have the authority to make#likeee i remember reblogging this post that ssid 'supernatural doesn't really have a concept of jail' but like absolutely yes it does#sam (and even other characters like mary and rowena) are both put in 'jail' as the direct effect to a fault#wrt the winchester familial dynamic and their role. it's one of the main differences here. sam is put in jail‚ dean is not#sam does not have the authority to put him there. it doesn't help that sam is literally pleading as the victim within his scene#while dean is able to victimise sam even as the monstrous body within the 10.03 scene#and the thing is that their identities are being compartmentalised in similar ways here. dean is attempting to save his sammy#from the encroaching (invariable) monstrous sam that which he spends the next season attempting to forgive for the shortcoming#of dean perceiving sam's efforts at independence as abandonment while sam is attempting to save his dean from the encroaching mark of cain#(chosen to be put there yet is still victimised by) and sam spends the rest of the season forgiving him over and over while even#taking misattributed responsibility and blame that which has to be made up for#4.21#10.03#se referat#edit: also adding onto chii's tags wrt the differences in capacity for consent regarding demon!dean#it's so interesting to compare demon!dean to soulless!sam in that demon!dean didn't have the capacity to reject competent!dean's consent#while both soulless!sam and 5.22!sam did not consent to be resouled in respectively active and precedingly passive ways#like 6.12 sam is clearly happy and grateful to have been resurrected and he doesn't even have any specific qualms#about dean keeping information relating to his ressurection from him but 5.22 explicitly made his consent‚ or lack thereof‚ regarding#ressurection clear unlike dean in early-s10... and the thing is that the last time sam didn't pursue dean's ressurection#he faced negative consequences for that decision! and yet dean is seen as objectively correct for his actions in s6#by both the audience and narrative‚ and much of his responsibility regarding sam's psychosis isn't acknowledged as directly related#to his actions vs the pinning of blame to much of early-s10 onto sam esp relating to the guy he had summon a demon‚ who sold his own soul#despite sam's advice‚ whom demon!dean killed

Was feeling nostalgic and found these pictures of Charlie from before I got him. 8 weeks and 16 months! A handsome lad!
#dogblr#petblr#dog#sighthound#borzoi#Charlie#based on pics of his littermates id have picked him honestly#he doesn’t have as much rear as it looks like in the second pic#he’s more moderate#he has two faults the other two didn’t#lighter eyes and a curled tail#but otherwise I think he’s nicer#I also liked the bitch#according to his breeder there were a few people#interested in him from 8 weeks on but none of them worked out#so glad they didn’t and he landed with me!!!#I only wish I would have been in a life position to get him as a baby

jayden’s also in miami!
#jayden daniels#f1#jayden justin AND joe all in the same place!#damn the nfl sent in the big guns!#you go boys! keep on growing the game!#again. i’d DIE for a picture or video of all three of them together#it does not currently exist -believe me i’ve tried to find one#i don’t think their conversations would be as awkward as joe and malik’s#but there’s SOME awkwardness about how jayden was always compared to joe at lsu and how it really wasn’t fair to him bc#that's fucking joe burrow -one of the greatest college qbs of all time- and it’s not joe’s fault ofc but that still hangs over both of them#then there’s justin of which i’m making a whole other post to character-analyze him and his interactions with 2023 lsu 🤗#(thank you anon for asking that!)#but regardless of his own complicated Feelings -justin’s always going to be the life of the party!#he’d probably be the one to drag joe over to say hi to jayden and yap and at first jayden’s kinda stiff#but he quickly gets dragged into justin’s Light and starts yapping back#justin bragging about the timberwolves series win over the lakers and jayden and joe exchanging commiserating glances#nothing like your sports team being disappointing to bring people together!#justin was also driving with oscar and in that clip they said they were going 170 mph#so! you know justin's ALSO going to be bragging about that and how ja'marr ““only”” went 150 mph#competitive assholes <3

Theee worst thing about having celiac that’s not directly related to celiac — like not being able to ingest gluten and the hurdles that come with that — is when people tell me they feel sorry for me. They feel pity that I eat this way. They genuinely couldn’t imagine living my life because of how horrible it must be, to them.
It’s… hmm, well, it brings about a wide array of emotions. Anger and frustration mostly. How dare you tell me that. How dare you tell me what you think of my life? That you think my life is fundamentally less enjoyable???? MY LIFE???? You have no idea how I live and of the love and joys I feel. Even related to celiac!!!! I feel love and happiness and support from my peers in their caring and accommodating actions which beats any unneeded feelings of pity you claim to feel for me tenfold
#i enjoy food and i have wonderful experiences with eating food#if celiac is too much to imagine living with then hoo boy no one tell them about any other disability ever#sometimes its tricky to find things to eat and the world is generally being rude but that doesnt mean my life is ruined#it means things need work changing! its their fault for not having proper accommodation not mine ;P#and fucking pity will certainly not fix anything at all….#the happiness and companionship i felt when my friend got me gluten free muffins ready in case someone would take them before me#or when another friend said they keep their wheat flour hidden in a hard to reach cupboard so that theres no contamination with the -#gluten free things they bake (this person does not have celiac or an intolerance. this person bakes gluten free for ME)#those were a hundred million times “bigger” experiences and much more reaffirming than pity#anyway maybe other disabled people can relate to this too lol#not fish#celiac disease#celiac

Theyre trying to blame us x reader writers as a whole for tiktok post-quarantine teenager brain rot spreading to tumblr/fandom again . But I don't let it get to me
#I just find it funny because I like to read this slop and the decline in overall quality is frustrating to me#and I imagine others like me who were doing it or reading it for a while too#It's not my fault or the fault of anyone else that people found an easy notes hack#But this whole conversation is always doomed to revolve around the evil sin of#inserting yourself in media instead of being self-avoidant and not the actual problem (declining media literacy and algorithmaxxing)#But I don't let it get to me .

thinking about how cut off tko is from forming even a vaguely normal relationship with people
#insane 50000 page essay in tags warning.#in his first appearence he only reacts violently when rad and enid overstep his boundaries#(in defense of rad and enid and everyone else they did not know what was going on and were doing their best)#tko reacts not ideally. and because he has the ability to he wrecks everything -> gives the impression that this kid is hecking evil#dont give a nuke to a kid with anger issues..#and it leads to him getting totally isolated- which again fair. and completely justified in the pov of other people#but it just results in him getting alienated more with no way to learn how to regulate his emotions#and people only see him when he's mad as hell and wreaking havoc which. Bad impression every time.#like how do you fix this#i think tko wouldve probably been treated better had he not been stupidly op#ALSOOO. I HATE THAT LFTTE JUST. FUNCTIONALLY CEMENTED EVERYONE'S PERCEPTION OF TKO AS 'EVIL MANIAC WHO KILLED EVERYONE'#WITH NO CHANCE FOR HIM TO EVER CHANGE THAT BECAUSE. MKO#like. who is left to apologise?? and who do you forgive ???#of course when mko says anything (doubtful. i bet it was a traumatic experience for him) theyll say “oh its fine that was tko's fault”#how do you. Explain. when all they know about tko is that he's evil. would you even want to explain#i am way too invested in the side character that was functionally not meant to be more than the main character's plot development device#cries and explodes into a pile of very sad confetti#incoherent ramblings#everyone else in the ok ko universe get the most satisfying and well-written endings ever and then there's my favorite character

#goodomensedit#goedit#good omens#ineffable husbands#crowley#aziraphale#good omens spoilers#userbecca#tusermyra#jameszmaguire#ughmerlin#rs: hereditary enemies#edits#this is super busy and probably messy as hell#but i kid you not i was so overwhelmed by all the emotions the song was making me feel re: the two of them#that i tried to put them all together in fear of leaving something out lmao#the bit about fault gets me because i see too many people dismissing#how incredibly complicated AND THEREFORE tragic their situation is#the whole shades of gray concept is so central for both the characters and the viewers actually#they tortured themselves with the limbo they were stuck on and they torture each other now with their mutual rejection#but it's all over love - because of love - out of love#that's what devastes me completely#but they will find each other again ♥

something interesting I've noticed in this campaign's discourse is that there's a fascinating moving of goalposts closer to what I (and others with similar opinions) said originally. Like, consider:
this ship isn't interesting because it lacks conflict being met first with "yes it is, you're just evil haters" to "must ships have conflict to be interesting?" to "well if things were DIFFERENT you'd like it"-style claims, threaded through constantly with "obviously it's great/bc I have eyes" tell-and-never-explain style arguments
or
"Bells Hells isn't as bonded" met with "YES THEY ARE THEY PLAYED WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THAT??" to "they would be bonded, but for the plot, which I see as something separable from the story and not the story itself" to "um actually it's better that they're not because that makes it different from the past campaigns where the characters had strong and complex relationships with each other, and novelty is always superior."
#the other fun thing to watch is people bashing orym bc it's pretty transparent they don't like do/rym for whatever reason#but they can't actively attack that bc robbie initiated it and they've developed a saw trap for themselves where you can't criticize him#bc you can't criticize any nonwhite or female or disabled characters and you can't pin this on chetney so. it is orym's fault#for wanting to talk with the person he has had a crush on for months instead of people who rely on him being strong and normal#the breathtaking lack of empathy remains but honestly at this point it's funny watching the cirque du soleil level contortions#the thing about c2 discourse is it was vicious but i did not think the people involved were brainless and heartless#just deeply unkind and lost in the sauce of hiatus-era conspiracy theories; here? zero redeeming qualities.#cr tag

i know i shouldnt dwell on stupid opinions like this but a while ago i saw someone complain that Applin was a boring concept bc its just a worm in an apple and i was FLOORED. this iirc was in response to smth about gen 1 designs being boring as well
its not just a worm its a Wyrm its a pun. that is a concept. maybe you don't like it personally but to say its objectively bad is certainly Something. not every pokemon has to be based on a myth or something else fantastical to be a good concept. you Need "boring" pokemon for the dex to feel complete, if Everything is Cool then nothing is actually cool
"gamefreak is running out of ideas" yeah there's a billion fish pokemon but they're all actually very different to each other, lanturn is an anglerfish and lumineon is a butterfly fish. say what you will abt gamefreak rn its probably warranted but imo the one thing they still do right 100% of the time is unique concepts for each pokemon. the execution can be debated but the fundamentals are always there
#clai speaks#does this make sense#i get so annoyed every time i see the ''they're running out of ideas!!!!'' thing parroted all the time i had to say SOMETHING#like yeah you're gonna find some pokemon boring. theres a thousand of them now with all different designs#theres no way all 1000 are going to cater to you specifically. impossible#but to then fault the ENTIRE THING. get mad at people when they like the mon you think is lazily designed or boring or whatever#sorry not every pokemon can have the lore relevance of cosmog or reshiram or ogerpon? i guess????#you Need some toned down concepts for a good creature collector. or any game with a vast array of enemies to fight#are you expecting to go to route 1 and find reality-bending dragons there?#honestlyyyyy i don't actually even think gen 1 designs are Boring. yeah they aren't at the same standard as modern mons#but for the time they were perfectly acceptable. its been almost 30 years yeah things will change#maybe i;m just mad bc i'm a huge fan of several ''boring'' mons. fearow is so bland but i love it a lot#all the regional birds actually. no 1 unfezant defender#idk i should stop here i'm rambling too much. point is. i just wish people would stop treating opinions as objective fact#you dont like applin. thats cool. others do tho stop being pushy about it ok#i realize now maybe its hypocritical to complain abt others having these opinions its just. the way they always present it irks me yknow???#ahhh whatever. i think i;m making myself mad now JHDBJHBHJF#guy cares too much about pokemon opinions pt 126736

"Is Amphibia gay like The Owl House?" It is gay, but certainly not like The Owl House.
#you will rip the sashanne subtext from my cold dead hands#i just need you to imagine sasha as a boy for a moment. i know this fandom is good at that so it should be easy#a person attracted to women constantly fighting for the main girl's love. picking her up in a heart-themed carriage#trying to kill the people that come between them#having multiple breakdowns over her rejection of them#eventually deciding to become better in order to ''deserve her'' (they say this explicitly)#they were trying to impress her and convince her to stay by their side since the beginning#now they became a better person and they do things like holding her by her waist and dance with her#to fight a canon lesbian couple (''they're not the only ones who are in sync!'')#and get some killer lines by the girl they've been trying to get since day one such as ''look at what you and I have now''#while staring into her huge heart eyes#this goes beyond shipping y'all. sashanne isn't even my personal favorite. it's not my fault it's canon#/hj#why do i ask you to imagine sasha as a boy you ask. well. what WOULD you assume of him of she were a boy#what would most people assume of that behavior#the moment sasha was revealed as canonically queer it recontextualized everything#i wholeheartedly believe the subtext is meant to be ambiguous on purpose (and i wouldn't have it any other way)#there's also ''sasha. sasha waybright. my hero. my villain. my savior. my downfall'' but we don't talk about that#marcy is also out there calling them both ''my love'' in her private journal but that's a whole other can of worms#that lowkey leads me to believe she might be aromantic and insanely platonically in love with her friends#(it makes sense in my head)#imagine the show's popularity (and discourse) if sashanne were explicitly canon tho 😭 just imagine it#my posts#amphibia
