#they dont have a lot going on and as such doesnt have a lot of meaningful relationships

real answer:

1. if your wrists hurt, stop right away and change your posture, gently stretch your wrists, change the angle of your wrists. if you use thumbs, try standing or sitting up so your elbows are in the air. you can also try laying your device down and using your index fingers instead

2. while your taps should be juuust firm enough to register in-game, you want to keep your presses light and springy to get to the next note using the momentum from the previous one. this is also a real piano technique thats good for jumping octaves

more under cut:

3. if youre using thumbs and theres one of those drumroll-like sequences, try the move where you sort of tilt your device back and forth between your hands. like instead of moving your thumbs all the way to the screen, if you tilt the device a bit then it shortens the distance your thumb needs to go to get to the screen. if you tilt it back and forth slightly, this can help you do fast drumrolls - just remember to count the beats (usually in groups of 4) so you dont press too many times

4. optional: try to play both songs at your skill level and a bit above it, not so hard that youre missing every note but maybe one or two difficulty levels above what youre used to. over a long period of time the harder songs will start making sense and the muscle memory will develop. songs may need different movements so dont feel bad if you nailed one hard song but cant play the other at all. you dont have to do this step, its mostly for training to play that one hard song that you really like

5. feel free to adjust the speed of the note prompt thingies if youre able to. slower speeds are better for slower reaction speeds but sometimes the notes can get clustered up and its hard to tell what to press first.

6. you can cheat a little bit... if theres a move you actually cant physically do, there may be a loophole in the game mechanics to keep your combo. in the game i'm playing the most (Arcaea) you dont have to lift your fingers between the colorful line notes and it doesnt matter which hand you use, left or right. sometimes when it uses the right hand color, i just ignore it and use my left hand because its closer. the long notes on the ground dont care if you switch fingers- press it, put your other finger on it also, then remove the first finger.

7. change the sound-delay setting. this is mandatory if youre using any kind of bluetooth because of the latency. a lot of rhythm games will let you add a delay between the time it plays the audio and the time it shows the notes on screen. the idea is that it sends the signal to play the notes audio first, and by the time it reaches your ears, the note will be in the middle of the screen, so you still feel like youre tapping to the beat. depending on your brain, device, os, and headphones/speakers, youll want a different number

8. do warm up/easier songs first to loosen your muscles and tendons and stuff

9. play the songs that you like :3

me: hey do you guys have any advice for this rhythm game?

someone whos played rhythm games their whole life: yeah you basically just open your third eye and ascend to the rhythm realm

me: ok cool thanks i’ll work on that

we talk a lot about shauna losing jackie and her baby boy and yes those are major traumas. however, i think the moment that truly changed her fundamentally was butchering javi. that moment is truly symbolic of what shes sacrificed for all of the others. she let him die to save nat and then his blood was literally on her hands because no one else could handle the burden of butchering him. this is a kid she LIKED. that she had some small bond with. she had to pull her headband over her eyes because she couldnt bear to look at what she was doing. and the others just left her alone out there cutting up his body because none of them could bear to even watch it. so shauna shoulders it alone. how does the human brain even cope with that experience? especially since every single time gen brings back a kill, shauna has to butcher that animal and relive that moment in some way again and again

and whats crazy is yes shauna resorts to violence easily, shes impulsive and deeply angry, but she doesnt enjoy killing. when she threatened the carjacker her words were much more about the power she felt over him, enjoying the fear of someone who'd wronged her, than actually threatening his life. shes willing to kill for power and control, but her relationship with the actual physical act is complex. sometimes trauma can become strangely familar and soothing, maybe thats why shauna butchers the rabbit in season 1. its like a fucked up coping mechanism based in her need to feel a level of control. and it was okay in her mind, because the rabbit had wronged her, ruined her flowers. but when gen comes back from a hunt with nothing, dont you think shaunas the one who chooses which innocent duck or rabbit has to die so that everyone can eat? like why do you think she cried over the goat? It was probably the first time in her life she was handed something innocent and told, very explicitly, that she was not going to have to hurt it.

essentially what im saying is you dont have to agree with shaunas actions to see her point of view. all she does is feed them. she told them it was what jackie wanted. she told them to wait for javi to drown. each time shes shouldered the actual burden of the choice. and all whilst not even having any faith, in the wilderness or otherwise, to alleviate her guilt. pregnant and starving and she never took extra, she makes sure everyone eats to the detriment of herself, and what does she get in return? shes left alone. in pain. she lashes out at anyone who comes near her and because of it they give up on her, like she isnt what they made her. reliving her trauma every time she peels the skin off a stag. her baby is turned into a diety for a faith she doesnt even believe in. jackie and javi too. the others take her real, human losses and make them mythology, stake a claim on them before shes even had a chance to properly grieve. and ofc these are just kids in an impossible situation needing something to believe in, so you cant even rly judge them for it. but that doesnt make shaunas rage any less understandable

VANCE: Have you said thank you once?

ZELENSKYY: You think if you speak very loudly—

TRUMP: He’s not speaking loudly. You’ve done a lot of talking. You’re not winning this.

ZELENSKYY: Mr. Trump, you are increasing the volume of your voice, but not the logic of your argument. Ukraine is still standing. We are still fighting.

HEGSETH: Look, we have to be realistic. America can’t fund this war forever.

ZELENSKYY: Realistic? Like when your Defense Secretary Hasgeth refusing to even say Russia invaded Ukraine? You couldn’t admit the truth, and now you want to lecture me on reality?

HEGSETH: This is about diplomacy. We need a negotiated settlement.

ZELENSKYY: Diplomacy? Putin broke every ceasefire, every treaty, every promise. What kind of deal do you think he wants? One where Ukraine still exists?

TRUMP: You don’t have the leverage. You don’t have the cards.

ZELENSKYY: Because you keep taking them away—blocking aid, repeating Putin’s lies, pretending this war is already lost.

VANCE: You should be grateful. The U.S. has given you a lot.

ZELENSKYY: Grateful? My people are dying while you sit here demanding I smile and shake hands with my enemy? Gratitude will come when Russia is defeated.

HEGSETH: But Ukraine needs to be realistic. There are limits to what America can provide.

ZELENSKYY: And are there limits to what Russia can take? Or do you just let them redraw borders by force?

TRUMP: It’s going to be very hard to do business like this, Volodymyr.

ZELENSKYY: Ukraine is not a business deal. We do not trade away our sovereignty. We fight for it.

VANCE: But for how long? What’s the endgame?

ZELENSKYY: For us, there is no exit. We win, or we cease to exist. The only question is whether America stands with us

__________________________________________

USA doesnt even pretend to stand for anything but profit anymore. At least some morbid satisfaction for some that it couldnt be clearer

Casually breaking international agreements like this creates a really shitty precedent for you all. If i were you i'd be getting people on all the streets to try to stop this - and since some of you apparently dont even know, usa already signed a deal to respect ukraines sovereignty in the agreed borders in exchange for it giving up nukes, in 1994

Zelensky actually has a spine of steel after all. I admit it gives me chills to hear him say in real time what we read about our leaders once having to say, decades ago, in similiar situations - and to throw up at the fact he is now in this position

I want every ukrainian to know that you are not alone. Yes, i understand that you are the only one in there, living this nightmare right now, even with all the support in the world. But we know what you're going through, all of us who have ever been in that position and we will keep fighting for you every step of the way no matter what happens now

Thank GOD he didnt sign anything

[thomaskong]

I was afraid I’d lose him. So I got there late. And… as I entered, I saw him about to take pictures by himself. The first thing that I felt was… I wanted to hug him. No matter how bad I was to him, he’s still there for me. Every time that I’ve fallen or torn apart, he always runs up to me. He’ll come running and hug me. The same goes for this time, where he shows up. Am I happy? I’m really delighted. I really am. I’d like to thank Save for always being by my side till this very day.

And then as a massage therapist- the tension patterns from people with migraines tends to follow people's with extreme stress and anxiety to a T. (The pattern is basically a pull into the fetal position, which is why people hunch- it is not your back that is the issue!). And that tension pattern also causes headaches.

So if you have migraines, your stress or anxiety can trigger muscular tension which in turn can trigger more migraines or it could even be the actual cause of them (this is my own theory based on my work with multiple migraine and TMJD clients as well as my own migraines)

What I have found for myself, when I start relaxing is that I will get a headache or a migraine if Ive had a more stressful day or am more overstimulated- especially if I havent given myself a break.

What Ive figured out is that because the muscles (and often connective tissue too) are so bound around those nerves and cutting off feeling, when you relax your muscles those pain signals finally go to your brain. If there is connective tissue restriction is present, that would continue to pull on the ends of the nerves, causing the only comfortable position to be in a constant tense state and any relaxed state would be painful.

Dehydration makes muscle tension and connective tissue restriction a lot worse. And if you dont get enough electrolytes your body cant utilize the water that you put into it- so having something like POTS makes your body more likely to have these issues unless you get that extra salt.

But even when you get that salt, that doesnt /fix/ the connective tissue restriction entirely. That has to be broken up through stretching or massage (even light self massage helps).

It should be illegal for relief to give you a headache.

started watching severance..so…..obviously i had to make a serverance sabrevine au(those who Know know why)

major spoilers for the show, so all thoughts are hid safely under the cut👍

vic severs immeditely after logan breaks off their relationship. logan had started seeing silverfox, thinking she was a better influence on him. then about 3 months or so later, she mysteriously dies(its a gemma type situation). it doesnt take long for logan to sever too

department X. a newer 2 person department, victor c. working alongside david n. they spend a lotta time organizing military equipment, and theorize maybe theres an apocalyptic war going on topside. but overall, they dont really talk much. 3 months in, kayla s. joins their team. 5 months in, logan h. shows up as well. and he n vic IMMEDIATELY click.

innie vic n logan have a lot smoother of a time falling into a relationship, as well as managing it, due to their lack of memories making them unaware of the reasons for their own issues

they obviously still have reactions n thoughts similar to the shit their outies deal with, feeling deep self hatred while not really knowing why, but theyre easier to deal with due to the lack of context, and they end up helping eachother out with that mutual struggle of mysterious pain

and these guys are basically experiencing the most giddy First Puppy Love of their weird little innie existence. its sappy, its fun, office supplies is getting messed with as they tease eachother, theyre sneaking out to go on lil dates around the maze of their workplace, etc etc

so. the purpose of their department is actually to test replacement of an outies memories. first, outie logans memory of silverfox’s death is replaced with vic being the culprit. and overtime, regular arguments in their relationship gets replaced with more intense abuse, on both sides

their innies start getting flashes of it as a result of it being so early in testing. logan starts to back off from vic a bit, but vic tries to reassure him their outies are different. at somepoint, flashes of their actual relationship slip thru too, and its like having 2 sets of memories. logan cant tell which one to trust...but he decides to trust the vic infront of him, since his own outie seems a lot meaner too

meanwhile their outies are getting flashes of their innies relationship, logan being scared for his innies safety and vic praying that his innie is somehow nicer than he was(even tho in reality he wasnt ever really that bad)

vic catches on that somethings up when he gets a flash of silverfox, obviously still alive, and is over the fucking moon that he didnt actually kill her(which he was inclined to believe cuz he really did want to do it at the time). hes also kinda selfishly hoping that innie logan doesnt start anything with her and just sticks with innie vic this time

at somepoint logan just stops going into work for a couple days out of fear for his innie, and thats when outie vic seeks him out to attempt to explain the stuff hes gotten flashes of

while talking, logan suggests the idea that if theyre working on replacing memories, then maybe they could erase them too…his memories of existing the way his innie does, purely, without having fucked anything up in his life yet, seems a lot more healing than the way he feels now. vic agrees, but…that kinda thing seems like a slippery escapist slope. ‘it aint just about erasing yer past, yer trying to erase yerself aint ya?’ vic’d miss him if he did, even admittedly the bad bits

even with all the abusive memories in their brains, sitting next to eachother they felt something comfortable, something warm, something that made them both feel present in the moment

ig ideally it’d end with them getting the false memories flushed outta them and integrating with their innies, giving their relationship another shot

Without hypnosis, how would you encourage someone to become a diaper-addicted bedwetter? What’s the best argument you could make to win them over?

i'd like to answer this in the form of a ramble. no hypnosis, no traps, no triggers. literally just a lesson from me to you. click below if you're curious.

some folks describe the world we're in as one that tries to fit you into a mold, to shape you a desired way.

but a mold is a very simple process, pour liquid substance into a vessel with the desired shape, let it solidify, and its done. taking an otherwise shapeless thing and giving it shape in a very easy way.

life is not a mold, but an extruder.

a length of meterial is sent down a tube, which itself gradually shifts from the original shape, to the desired one.

the process is gradual, the material shapes itself almost as if it were meant to, but it's being guided to that shape by the tunnel its in.

you werent given a role from the start and made to fit it, you were gradually acclimated to that role until it became normal.

its the small things. being corrected on how you sit, or how loud your voice is, or telling you to stop tapping your feet, or saying particular interests dont fit your role.

i used to naturally cross my legs, i had an interest in pink, i loved made for dvd cartoons like strawberry shortcake or tinker bell. turned out i was transgender, and the role of "boy" was one i was shaped to be through peer pressure.

now, what does this have to do with diapees?

put simply, you NEVER had a say in potty training.

kids often have no say in a lot of things, its taken for granted that a kid needs guidance if they're gonna be safe in this world. but potty training is a universal lesson.

how did YOU react at the time? to being told you have to "graduate" from diapers. were you agreeable? upset? did you try to rebel? it doesnt matter, all roads lead to you being potty trained.

its so deeply ingrained in our society its practically a core foundation. think about this for a moment, KINDNESS is not mandatory. sure, as a kid you're taught to share and care, but how many people do you know who carried that into adulthood? in fact, in a capitalist sense, kindness is a weakness to the goal of profit.

so, we live in a world where you CANNOT under ANY circumstance choose to be diapered, unless you "need" to, like, if there is no alternative. and yet you can live life as the biggest jerk in history and you're not even guaranteed a reprimand for it.

and yet... everyone ALSO agrees that being a kid is the best thing in the world, and you should enjoy it while you can because it wont last, you cant go back to that.

and that much IS true... but you CAN go back in some ways.

oh sure, you WILL grow up. lessons get learned, fears develop, motor function improves, your body gets taller and stronger, and your brain naturally develops as it goes, that much is ALL true...

but... you CAN still wear diapers... in fact, it almost seems like you're gently encouraged to? cuz like... every store with a pharmacy has a nearby section for adult diapers, they got ENTIRE ISLES of diapers. in every size you'd need.

because as much as society tries to tell us diapers are meant to be left behind, we cant deny that sometimes they are necessary, stores NEED these if they can have them.

and if thats the case... if systems are in place for people to wear diapers... what exactly is wrong with using them?

and furthermore, its probably the ONE holdover from childhood you can always go back to.

no matter how big you get, you cant change one universal fact. diapers exist, they have an intended function, and you CAN use them, if you are brave.

and if you do? you're being a TRUE rebel, moreso than most really. you're doing the ONE thing adults must NEVER do, the thing that potty training was MADE for.

if you wear and use diapees, you are choosing to reject an instinct of adulthood in favor of your own personal rebellious joy, and that is BADASS.

and why shouldnt you? if gender is a social construct, then so is growing up. you CAN redefine what it means to you. you can decide for yourself what it means.

and if you do... you ALSO have the option... to take it FURTHER.

because you know... training like that can be UNDONE too.

not fully, mind, your body now has the ability to know when it needs to go, that much stays.

buuuuut. your ability to hold it CAN be undone.

;3 and thats not even hypnosis, all you have to do is use your diapees! X3 im not joking, peeing yourself outside of a bathroom scenario gives your body and brain permission to do it elsewhere.

UwU and with time... it gets harder to hold it. ;3 how long does it take?

3 WEEKS

3 weeks of continued diaper use is all it takes to lose control.

but why? why lose control? what point is there is making you wet yourself? (or mess if thats your thing. X3 its certainly mine!)

because if using diapers is rebellion, then unpotty training is FREEDOM

its the ultimate middle finger to the training you were given, a sound rejection of the thing you were taught is most important.

and once you reject that... the skies the limit!

do you have any idea how much CONFIDENCE it takes to willingly make yourself a puddlepants?

if you're willing to do that, no force on this earth can stop you. gender? redefine it as you please. fashion? you wear diapers for underwear, wear whatever you want. hobbies? passions? do what you like! ;3 not like bathroom breaks can stop you anymore.

so go nuts! have fun! live life on YOUR terms.

diapers are fun, diapers are soothing, diapers are freeing, and diapers are YOURS to wear.

be free, be a mushtush!

01: nice binder goob

you arrived at jujutsu tech in early february, it gives you about 4 months to plan an assassination of sukunas vessel, a first year student named yuuji itadori.

your tactical boots specialized in traction and protection crunch the winter leaves below you. its just about 6am, you woke up early today.

you plan out the killing in your head. come to think about it 4 months is a lot isnt it? you typically like making it quick and simple, although you have little experience in actual killing people.

perhaps bidding your time would be the best option. jujutsu tech is filled with many powerful individuals who would most likely kill her if they knew her intentions. your biggest fear is the 10 shadows user, he appears to have the closest relationship to sukunas vessel.

at around 7am she arrived outside the classroom, where gojo sensei would be waiting to introduce her to the measly 3 first year students inside.

“everybody!” gojo shouts at a volume way too loud for 7 in the morning. “we have a new student! give her a round of applause!”

sukunas vessel and kugisaki clap lamely while fushiguro makes no attempt to indulge in gojos acts.

you enter the classroom and bow slightly before walking to the single empty desk. “thats yn zenin! which puts the first year class at 4 students! hooray!” gojo shouts.

you have no intention on talking to the other students, or anyone for that matter. while gojo talks about paired missions all you can do is fight the urge to fall asleep, maybe waking up early was a bad idea.

“ok! we have an even number of students sooo…! were gonna do paired missions! nobara and megumiii in one pair and ill supervise yuji and yn!”

is gojo ever quiet.

oh, me and sukunas vessel?

thats good. i could probably kill him easily. what about the veil though? i surely wouldnt be let out if gojo is supervising.

well its still good to figure out some information about sukunas vessel.

you enter the car driven by gojo, the mission you were assigned to is a grade 2 curse in an abandoned hospital about 45 minutes away. you stare out the window on to the dense forest near the road.

the car stops before gojo tells you and sukunas vessel to get out of the car. you stretch slightly when getting out due to sitting for too long before starting to walk to the mission site.

gojo lowers his veil trapping you and sukunas vessel, hopefully he doesnt like. kill you or smth.

you walk around looking for a 2nd grade curse, checking the patients rooms, waiting room, the roof. although you just cant put your finger on where it is.

while youre looking, sukunas vessel keeps blabbering on and on, to the point where youre starting to tune him out.

he taps your shoulder which throws you off guard, causing you to step back away from him quickly.

“just trying to ask a question” sukunas vessel says.

i thought he was gonna kill me. he couldve just now.

“what.”

“why did you become of a sorcerer?”

theres a brief silence before you say. “its none of your business”

“thats fine, you remind me of fushiguro in a way! youre both very grumpy you know?”

after about a couple minutes of fighting with the curse you end up surviving the mission relatively unharmed, sukunas vessel took most of your heavy hits for you.

you and sukunas vessel end up both going to ms leiri for her expertise in reverse cursed technique. not that you needed it, you just tagged along.

you tagged along because you had to. not because you wanted to.

you, the other 2 firsts years, and sukunas vessel get treated to. revolver sushi. or something similar to that. you expected this is be a gun shop or maybe the name of a brand, not a type of restaurant.

“what you and kugisaki never been to a revolving sushi place? you have to go its so cool! its for the experience!” (ita)

“they dont have those where i grew up. revolving sushi is cheap isnt it? lets go somewhere expensive since gojo sensei is paying” (kugi)

“but i want it! its not about how expensive it is, its about the experience!” (ita)

“you say that until you get food poisoning.” (kugi)

“you agree with me, right zenin!??” (ita)

you shake your head in disagreement.

“see i told you! zenin agreed, were gonna get steak!” (kugi)

“when did zenin agree to get steak” (fushi)

“shut your mouth.” (kugi)

extra!

lol im so stupid instead of ln i just use zenin frigg

rewatched rnm and fell back in So hard these guys appeared and now they WONT leave... how far off the central finite curve even are these losers ????

more info under there !!

theyre sort of what i wished i saw more of in the show but also not really.

v682C is '''nicer''' in a lot of ways but he also just has less later-season built in plot armor if u know what i mean... c137 having a hyperspecific gadget for everything... not that i DONT like that. it makes him scary. but i like to picture this rick working with shit from the neighbors garbage can and its infinitely more funny and charming to me. instead of havng something on hand he has to take time making it which can get them into a lot of trouble lmao

hes definitely still got cybernetics (obviously) but theyre installed worse and dont blend in at all. if they get wet in the rain or anything they get a bit sparky and they shock him and he hasnt fixed it because hes ''''busy''''. his main portal gun is all fucked up looking. most of his tech has ducttape involved. he doesnt go out as much and i imagine other ricks call ricks like him hermit ricks lmao

he and morty met after the evil rick incident. the citadel basically called him up and said YOU dont have a morty. this universe is vulnerable without a rick!! and v682A and B are dead so youre next in line !!! here you go :) and so he picked up morty and brought him back to his family. amd now rick sort of has two universes with two houses lmao (i have no idea if/why the citadel would do this but idc. ill figure that out later)

morty's old rick was more 'stereotypical' rick and all that so the adaption to this weird kind of crotchety rick who has no idea how to reply to being called grandpa let alone dad is a bit of an adjustment. hes getting used to not getting pulled out of class all the time.. but it does kind of piss him off in a messed up way because he's been used to the verbal fights and he thinks new rick thinks hes delicate from the kidnapping incident. which he might be but its going unaddressed right now.

hes not meeker from the incident. i think hes quieter but not as nervous.. he is adapting. weird new grandpa weird more protective family from the incident because they thought he was fully dead and all that..

they wont leave my brain. i like them a lotttt.. my awful little worms <3 thanks if u read allthat LMAO

SUPER DEEP THANGYU ANALYSIS TRUST!! EP3 - EP5 ANALYZING [1/2]

EPISODE THREE first episode ok!! [actually ep 3],, namgyu has a very odd thing for skin-to-soin contact with thanos, he doesn't have a second thought when thanos touches his shoulder, though once thanos pulls away, he does stare at him for a few seconds (expectantly,), and then starts speaking to myunggi. he's analyzing and watches situations to see if anything goes further [when thanos first grabs myunggi, namgyu identifies it as thanos merely attempting to scare him and steps back, when thanos gets closer to myunggi attempting to intimdate him, there is no reaction from namgyu. Though he seems to recognize his connection with thanos to the point of knowing that he can verbally deescalate thanos + a little bit of 'friendly touch'] Namgyu appears mildly posessive/clingy towards Thanos, as when they leave, he ushers thanos to come with him [in the english dub, he addresses him directly]. Photo time! At around 15;10, onwards, Namgyu is standing a foot or two away from Thanos, but when people get closer to Thanos, his immediate reaction is to get closer [his expression changes when people start getting close to thanos, as he looks around], as they start flocking thanos, and namgyu goes a bit behind, his honest reaction is to be like 'hold on..!!' while jumping up and down [he jumps up and down when he either gets really nervous, or really happy ((ex, mingle))],, he uses it as a chance to get closer to thanos. he pushes out other people once thanos tells them to leave as well ['all right, lets go'], commanding them as if theres a chance they wouldnt leave [he wouldnt like if they didnt left.] i notice he doesnt smile in his photo, nervy little boy [or he cant smile without thanos, which is a possibility as all scenes of him smiling are with thanos.] , he also isnt the happiest when thanos pushes him out of the way for mina [he lets out a little '..what?' and his gaze follows thanos. He also Red light green light! The only game theyre not next to eachother. It's funny how they made an effort to make sure Namgyu looked annoyed at Thanos flirting with a girl [also, the 'i like YOU!!' and then cutting to namgyu is crazy.] him also being concerned about thanos shows how much he cares in a very odd way, as he doesnt show empathy for anyone else. EPISODE FOUR ,, not thanos scoping namgyu out and following him to harass myungi [i would too],, AND I NOTICE THIS. Thanos complains 'I LOST MONEY :(', and namgyu continues, but when he speaks, he goes. 'pay US back', which is fucking adorable holy shit?? thanos empathizes how he 'worked so hard for that!!' but he does care enough to also share with namgyu.. OHOH and whn myunggi beats thanos' ass, guess what the gayboy does.. runs to his side and goes 'GET OFF HIM!!', he does the same when inho. i mean youngil, is beating up thanos [yup, with him for the drugs. thats why he saved him even before knowing abt the drugs], also,, his dumbass stalkin thanos [[when he was in bed and peered over thanos]] OKAY!! game time. namgyu's jealous as looked so fucking pissed when thanos started talking to semi ,, and when strokin thanos didnt work he just became semi's number one hater. i deadass dont know why his clingyass bitchass gayass is so pissed that thanos is focusing on other people. throughout the intro of semi and minsu, he keeps tryna TOUCH THANOS!! he is. clingy towards thanos is a very, very odd manner. he just becomes so reliant o n him oh my god. leave thanos alone. idk theyre close in their own way. but during their pentathalon they are the only ones with their arms wrapped around eachother. he alwways flocks to thanos when he has a problem, [with semi, he looks towards him for like.

EP FIVE! namgyus psychotic i think abt that a lot idk whats wrong with him. also um, im like 100% sure thanos cant remember semis name and thats why he calls her 'senorita',, he assumes as theres 'minsu' and 'gyeongsu' that namgyu is 'namsu', and he just cant remember semis.. the lunch part is so silly.

namgyus ass is always starin. speaking of staring. not him starin at myunggis dick [[im fullyconvinced hes homosexual. NOT FOR MYUNGGI I HATE THAT SHIP. he just , liikes men.

Pedophiles are wrongly ostracised based on the accusation itself (whether the disorder or the act) yes, that harms them and skyrockets the chance of them harming others. HOWEVER, this is due to the very real explicit harm that is, by definition, associated with the disorder. “I feel a strong desire to molest and rape children” is, in fact, a rather dangerous idea for people to have. Now while many disorders involve compulsions someone has no desire to act on, the fact that people push for the decriminalisation of pedophilic actions is pretty well fucked to put it mildly. There is a certain sub class of people who defend pedophilia because they don’t see it as harmful at all.

This is why people tend to be very much hostile towards pedophiles. Because the anonymity of online spaces means that there’s a high chance that any given pedophile is someone who is actually proud of their desires and past (or future) actions. The rebranding of pedophiles to MAPs certainly didn’t help matters since a lot of the internal discussions around “support” amounted to comparing AOAs and bragging about targets.

Now I do disagree with the social response here. Like any mental disorder it needs to be destigmatised to support those with it to reduce harm they experience and might create.

However, I do think that “apologise to the pedophiles” is absolutely going to see you as a target of harassment (possibly wrongly, I don’t know you) because for some people out here on the hellscape we call the internet (0/10 should shut it all down) that is code for “raping children should be legal actually”.

And again, to clarify, we are discussing the disorder that people are actually shit terrified of. Not kink or roleplay which is consensual between adults. Actual criminal behaviour at the highest level, and compulsions than scare the individual at the lowest. If people have the desire but refuse to act on it and aren’t disturbed by it? Great, that’s the best outcome, they aren’t disordered! Anything other than that is definitely a problem that needs to be addressed.

i strongly disagree that the harm is "by definition" associated with pedophilia

the majority of sexual violence against children is not perpetrated by pedophiles, and the insistence that it is only increases the danger to victims

rape is an expression of violence, not desire

and the people raping kids by and large did it because kids make an easy target when you have power over them, not because of being attracted to children

the solution to that problem is flattening hierarchies, child liberation, and sex education

and it does no good for anyone to target a separate group because we assume them to be by default responsible for harm they havent enacted

also, i dont think people should be terrified of the disorder, thats literally what ive been about

for the same reason we shouldn't be scared of people that deal with fantasies or compulsions of violence

and why we shouldn't start rounding up everyone with a rape fetish

that desire is just a thought

it doesnt need to be acted on, and alternatives to satisfy those feelings can be found

im a zoophile, im very open about that fact, and i have never once sexually harmed an animal

zoophiles likewise don't deserve to be immediate subjects of suspicion and fear just for existing

also, why do you feel the need to justify the position of the people harassing me if you agree that it is harassment?

like, the people coming after me arent compassionate defenders of children, theyre calling me a cross-dressing male rapist

theyre bigots that saw someone who would make an easy target that most people would be reluctant to defend, it is violence

theyre wolves after a wounded deer, they dont need your defending

so ive noticed there r people getting confused abt shin’s gender n pronouns, n honestly? same 😩

i’m gonna go on a little ramble abt my thoughts on this, so if u r curious abt wht goes on in my brain, continue reading!

otherwise, here is the tldr:

shin’s pronouns lean toward they/them, but their ambiguity is intentional. i’ll update their masterlist to include this detail for clarity. do not feel bad or worry if you’ve been confused! i did too!

i don’t have their preferred pronouns officially written anywhere, so i’m just gonna quickly edit the masterlist to include it to avoid future confusion. hope it helps!

and for anyone who mistook or have been mistaking their pronouns, don’t feel bad pls! it is totally fine and is meant to be like tht! i rlly don’t mind if people get shin’s pronouns or gender confused lol. the ambiguity is intentional. it actually happened quite a lot! so if this happens it means it worked hehehe 🤭

pronouns r kinda weird for me with shin cuz like they just dont rlly care, tho does hav a pref for they/them. they r the type to not care abt labels n doesnt outright identify as anything. shin just like to do whatever they want. they wont get offended or anything if u use she/her either. also, in japanese, gendered language isn’t as emphasized in the same way it is in english. given that shin is japanese, this is even less of a thing for them.

even i—the creator—am confused by shin’s gender/preferred pronouns 😭😭 but i just embraced the ambiguity at this point 😩🙏

i think we could use kurapika from hxh as an example for this? canonically he is male but for alot of the fandom he is ambiguously gendered. and also hange from aot in the manga. the anime made hange a girl but i don’t think it was ever specified in the manga tho.

i do think having this confusing and unspecified vibe is very much like shin who doesn’t think too much abt any of this, and i like to keep it tht way! which is why u may notice why i didnt say anything abt their gender at birth. i do have a gender in mind but i also dont rlly care either.

i hope i didnt offend anyone abt this. if i said smth wrong feel free to correct me but do keep it respectful and civil! lets all be nice ☺️

if you reached the end, thank you for coming to my ted talk ☺️💕

absolutely adore how each of the characters is flawed in a way that makes sense for their personality and how theyre generally coping. like idk if i have it in me to make an entire post talking about each character in this context but like. its smth i think abt a lot and i think its a testament to the shows great writing

(long post that turned into rambling abt pomni for a little over 1000 words under the cut)

like take pomni for example. she is incredibly cowardly. while she CAN actually get through a lot of horrifying things which, in turn, is why she IS brave- a contradictory trait that i deeply enjoy bc having characters w seemingly contradictory traits makes them feel all the more human since people are hardly ever just one way or another- she will panic her way through a bad situation

she very obviously cares about people. that isnt something thats new, she didnt learn compassion in eps 2 or 3 or 4. not that shes the most comforting presence a person can have, but the way she talks to people is indicative of her having already been a person who cared about others- bad situations can often just bring out the worst in people

in the pilot, she doesnt trust literally anyone. she starts to be more compassionate towards the others eps 2 onward, but its very obvious in the pilot that shes scared as hell and that makes her not trust any of the people around her. i dont think she thinks theyre dangerous, its not that kinda distrust, but she doesnt know any of these people, and bc her priority of 'panic your way out of bad situations' means that shes not really gonna stop for people she doesnt trust at all. its cruel in a way. but it does make sense for her

and like the thing is im not really... one for trying to decide whether or not a character is 'good' or not. its kinda subjective and a pointless question to answer, and runs the risk of overly simplifying a them and their writing. add to that that i dont really like the idea that a character must experience Consequences for Every mistake in order to be a 'good' person. it feels weird. like ofc if a character whos a dick (ie jax) experiences consequences im not really all that concerned but deciding a character must be yelled at or something in order to be better just feels strange. i think its much more powerful that a character gradually grows out of WANTING to

which is why i think pomni feels so great- she is certainly flawed but atm im glad the show doesnt keep trying to emphasize that oh wow isnt it bad that she did that? instead, shes growing BC of more positive things. like finding solace in those around her. when characters are in a horrific situation thats going to make them act out, it makes more sense that personal growth doesnt come from punishing a character for responding poorly to the situation. from a writing perspective, this show instead rewards characters for choosing to be better

because narratively punishing pomni for acting selfishly when scared wouldnt make her trust those around her any more. it wouldnt fix the issue here

anyway thats its own spiel. but pomni is also, imo, more socially confident than i think people would assume. not that shes GOOD at socializing, thats a different topic. but with her general nervous demeanor i think its easy to assume that shes socially anxious, but she actually comes across like she doesnt really give a shit about social things. shes deeply blunt and tends to do what she wants in conversations. she doesnt try to be mean and doesnt WANT people to be upset, but shes very candid about her thoughts. its a very fun trait for a character to have, bc i dont think shed assume herself to be super incredible at socializing, but it doesnt seem to be smth she gets worried abt

i think socially most of her stress comes from trusting those around her. and she will make it very clear if she doesnt trust someone. because shes nervous and blunt and if she doesnt like you, you will know. either way, shes not shy. remember, this is a woman who crawled on the floor of a public setting knowing full well that gummigoo is a complex and lifelike ai, and when she got caught she was awkward for sure, but she didnt seem worried

and on another note? i think smth thats prob gonna come up more in the show, since it already has w gangle, is that the characters in the show already had personal problems. the shows official site synopsis implies this too. and while i could go all day about the implications of this for each of the characters im gonna keep it to pomni

imo, pomni absolutely already had something going on before the show. i mean, not that anyone upon being kidnapped and losing their body and general autonomy is going to respond well, but the way that pomnis stress presents honestly gives me the feeling that she is someone who already had some sort of anxiety disorder (or smth similar- im not an expert and theres frankly a lot of things her stress can look like). people react in different ways in a crisis, especially if theyve experienced similar emotions before. and with how quickly she defaults to dissociating before shes even been in the circus for an hour really makes it come across like she genuinely had some problems with stress before even coming here

and also the fact that shes not as anxious by day two. she seems majorly out of it, of course, and having experienced what is implied to have been an abnormally bad day even by circus standards on her very first day itd make sense to be exhausted, but she moves from 'so scared she cant think right' to 'dejected and exhausted' extremely quickly. being thrown off the truck seems to kick the panic back in but thats beside the point. she got past the initial fear in a relatively short amount of time for someone that seems SO easily panicked that it does make me feel like shes someone who is more 'used' to the feeling. it can make you adapt to bad situations faster. in a worse way (not that she HAS completely adapted i think thatd be incorrect but. you get the idea)

all that to say that it then makes even more sense for her to react kinda badly. i dont think anyone (no matter what they think- its easy to assume youd react well in a bad situation but when something actually happens, its very, very different) would handle the situation, but her tendency to be kinda selfish and rude to ppl she doesnt trust makes sense. it doesnt make her bad or smth it just... makes her feel more real

anyway this post is way longer than i intended. this is exactly why i wouldnt be able to do this with all the main characters rn HAHA cus if i tried to do this w the entire cast i think this would constitute an academic essay

we be slabbin'

etho redesign is going good, im very happy with my thoughts and the vibes i got so far. still got to iron out the details and nail down some more situational changes to his design, but i like this.

mostly im trying to go for a kind of vagabond vibe with the coat, and have the hood, fluff, and shoulder padding of the jacket do a lot of the work in making his frame larger and more 'intimidating'. i haven't gotten it right how i want yet, i still dont really have a hold on what i want his shirt under there too look like so im not posting any of those drawings yet, but i DO really want him taking off the jacket to take away a lot of his extra bulk and make him a lot smaller, less imposing, less 'strong' looking. im getting there lol
