non fandom artists we gotta break free from the false dichotomy propped up by the term "oc" or "original character"... terms that make no sense without an implied fandom "canon" character.. if it's your full original setting and story then those are not ocs they are Just Characters.. canon characters even... can we pretend that fanart is not an assumed default on tumblr forming a standard against which all original art is measured.. can you play in this space with me
#everything i draw is canon character unless it's an au.. then it's ocs#obviously this is tongue in cheek but let's think about where the line falls between an oc and A Character#what legitimises the Just A Character?

I've been saddened forever that Armand is so short and cruel with his statements about Daniel in his book, but rereading it now, I think maybe Armand is just not in a very charitable place about any of the others.
He's been through a big trauma, obviously, and Lestat is still comatose on the floor of the church. Seeing him is the only reason Armand is willing to endure proximity to any of his kind, and even then, he's annoyed by the immortals flitting about and coming to see Lestat and hold vigil for him.
The only person he seems to have kind words for are Marius--with whom he's entrusted the safety of his mortal children--and even then he doesn't want Marius' company. He says repeatedly he only wants the company of mortals at this time, and basically wants to be left alone. Now that he's seen Lestat for himself, he's ready to take the kids somewhere private and spend time with only them for a bit.
And then he says this about Louis, as he's talking about how strong a fledgling David is:
Count on Lestat to make the most lethal of monsters, that is, after his initial seductive blunders-Nicolas, Louis, Claudia-not a single one of the three able to take care of themselves alone, and two perished, and one lingering and perhaps the weakest vampire yet walking in the great world.
Louis who is, at this point, by Armand's own account, coming to check on Lestat regularly and then returning to the Rue Royale flat, presumably to make sure it's ready and comfortable for Lestat when he does awaken. Louis, whom Akasha called the most vicious killer among their kind!
Y'all I think Armand is just maybe in a mood. David Talbot is lucky he doesn't tear out his throat and leave him in a burning building when he presses him to tell his story, tbh.
#this is meant to be slightly tongue in cheek obviously armand is in a shitty place#that is well established and i do think it adds to how he speaks about daniel and now also just... literally all of them#i do love how he's still all heart eyes for marius though lol#the vampire armand#vc meta#armand#louis de pointe du lac#daniel molloy#vampire chronicles#marius de romanus#david talbot#vc quotes#tvc#the vampire chronicles#vc#cat rereads the vc

What I thought Bad Touch was going to be: Siffrin is going to finally grow comfortable enough to be touched more and he's going to finally tell Isa that it's cool to touch his shoulder. It will be a really nice bonding moment between them. I can't wait to reach this part of the game :D
Bad Touch:
Me: D:
#in stars and time#isat spoilers#I got to this scene a few days ago and I keep meaning to make this post#it's so sad when I see Siffrin deliberately step back to avoid the raised hand now#you won't let Isabeau say he loves Siffrin#you won't let him display physical affection despite Siffrin getting increasingly more okay with being touched#you won't even let their hands meet at the end of friendquest loops#hey isat when will you let these two be happy?#this is all a bit tongue in cheek obviously but I really hope things get better for them in Act 5 or 6#why must my tragic friendship have tragedy in it smh

Probably stating the obvious here but I'm watching my second Mouthwashing playthrough and I know they said they only added Daisuke last minute But there's only 4 life pods when there are 5 crew members... Meaning best case scenario, not everyone would've been able to use one...
#mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing#swansea mouthwashing#daisuke mouthwashing#bc this is the piss on the poor webbed site#I feel the need to clarify that my comments on the poll are meant to be tongue in cheek#obviously interns shouldn't get locked out of the lifepods just bc its not in their contract ect

9-year-old girl complimented my earrings today. Life goal achieved.
#vbs is exhausting but there are also beautiful moments#this was obviously a tongue-in-cheek one#but it was still sweet#9-year-olds are still just about my favorite type of humans on the planet

me after time traveling to 1998 explaining to david fincher that fight club would be better and make more money at the box office if he put in a scene where tyler and the narrator make out sloppy style
#this is obviously meant to be a tongue in cheek joke lmao i adore the movie and book#but they’d be even better if tyler and the narrator kissed 👀 /lh#mine#soapshipping

the pro of "crazy dyke" being Your Type (TM) is that it makes you look like you're """One Of The Good Ones (TM)""" or whatever without even trying. you love queer women in fiction & therefore are freed from every fandom conversation about how most people only like the white men. or something. (the truth is you just like women with complex relationships to queerness, womanhood, & oftentimes their cultures as well, for various personal reasons.)
the con of "crazy dyke" being Your Type (TM) is obviously. God Help You if you want to find fandom content exploring your faves with the kind of messy nuance you thrive on.
#it's a very [rolls up sleeves] 'guess i have to do everything myself' kind of situation.#luz and hennessy have almost NOTHING in common personality-wise or values-wise. but wow the crazy dyke is so strong in both of them#being a dyke in a polycule full of dykes who's friends with a bunch of dykes with very complex relationships to race and gender and such#it's like. yeah obviously this is what i'm gonna gravitate toward. this is closest to my lived experience and the experiences of#the ppl surrounding me. you know??#it's not performative it's just. my life. it's just my life.#having a native american partner and a jewish partner having latine and Black and asian dyke friends#these are the stories that are most interesting to me. and yet. so rarely are they the stories that are most interesting to anyone else#it can be. lonely as hell. lol. this post is tongue-in-cheek i'd rather have people who Get Me in fandom than look performatively good.#u know.

moment of silence for my high school religion teacher who was the first genuine leftist and anticapitalist id ever met, but was such an annoying person with such distaste for her students that arguing with her points just to irritate her genuinely set my political development back years. im sorry dr. jane you were right but god at what cost

i've been getting so normie lately. watching videos about personal finance and house cleaning. going to work in an office and making spreadsheets. going out to dinner and getting an overpriced cocktail. tonight i suddenly had the urge to watch the office despite never having seen it before. but a few episodes in, something snapped inside me. i felt like that moment in a tv show where a character in the throes of addiction suddenly looks at the demeaning position they've found themself in and goes "what am i doing with my life?" i saw a glimpse into the life of a normie millennial who works in an office and who comes home so tired that their only hobby is rewatching a show about the same kind of office they just left and the emptiness i saw horrified me. i can't live like that. i can't watch any more. i can have my job and a clean apartment and a budget but i can't go any further down this path. i must stay weird
#nina's personal log#this is all very tongue in cheek obviously but the office is genuinely so bleak#like going to my real life office is more fun

i must say though people still bring up antihero as an example of terrible lyricism and that’s baffling to me bc MY opinion is that it’s inspired and legitimately some of her best work. YOU didn’t get it when she said “sometimes i feel like everybody is a sexy baby / and i’m a monster on the hill” but i did
#d#like it’s so obviously supposed to be tongue in cheek and people plowed on at face value on purpose

I think the silliest thing to me about all those folks fervently advocating against voting is... even if everything they said were true, voting still wouldn't cause any harm. And it's easy. So why not do it?
Like, blah blah blah, conspiracy theories, psyops, "both parties are the same", doomerism and hopelessness, etc. – okay, fine. I could decide to believe in all of this shit AND still vote. And even from the worldview of someone who believes in all this shit... voting still wouldn't make things actively WORSE, right?
In fact it's kind of like a political version of Pascal's Wager (obligatory "I'm not Christian or even religious at all" disclaimer; it's just that anyone interested in philosophy knows about Pascal's Wager). Instead of picking a row here...
...You can pick a column, here:
So which column do you choose? Left or right?
#us politics#i wonder if i need to put a disclaimer on this#pointing out that obviously leaving the phrases 'eternal happiness' and 'eternal damnation (hell)' in there is a JOKE#it's HUMOR#the pascal's-wager part of this post is fully tongue in cheek#anyway is it THAT hard to find your local polling station and just show up on the day?#or even in advance if they have early voting options?#are you really THAT lazy that you'd prefer to engage in all sorts of complicated online rage about 'voting is pointless'#rather than just take five minutes to mark a ballot and THEN continue with all the rest of the stuff i'm sure you're doing#the community support and mutual aid and grassroots organizing and so on#the stuff that actually does make more of a difference (which. yes. i do indeed believe)#but there is nothing to stop you doing all that stuff AND voting. ffs#cosmo gyres

i really think that some doctors need to be mauled by wild animals what do you MEAN didnt believe theres glands under your tongue!!! how many millions of years ago did he go to medical school!!! im so mad for you right now
i think some doctors just get like disillusioned or whatever but its NO excuse for them to not know that there are salivary glands under the tongue or other very normal things to know. and then be v rude and dismissive about very normal concerns. but maybe the doctor did know what was going on and just wanted me out of the clinic asap.
but also ive had to point out like rlly normal anatomical things to doctors lately im wondering if walk in clinics are just hiring randos off indeed at this point LMAO
#i joke but i mean they might as well be :')#dude wasnt even old he had to be like MAYBE 40. he was just. IDK . doctors r confusing i dont understand their logic#i still cant believe he thought salivary glands were ONLY in the cheeks#whatd be think was under the tongue?#he pointed to a picture of a ranula (very OBVIOUSLY not what i have bc i have sharp hard rock in my gland and a ranula is like-#-saliva filled sac beneath the floor of ur mouth that becomes super big.) and he asked if thats what i have#i pointed to the small rock. then to the picture. and said that they were different. it was a salivary stone#he didnt believe me???#like im not claiming to have severe disease i just want this thing to be removed . it takes like 30 seconds .#but doctors here refuse to do work. even if the work involves doing 5 seconds of paperwork to send me to a specialist.#iim so sorry for ranting BFNSSHSHS its just like... so frustrating..! im sure doctors in the US are the same as well#everyones disillusioned with their careers now capitalism evil etc but jfc doctors shuold Still care for ppl or QUIT if they rlly cant omg

maybe this is just because i went to a non-selective state school but. i’ve just finished series 2 of heartstopper and i need to know if anyone in the uk has attended a school as clean as the one on that show.
#maybe this is just what life is like for people in kent#not a single pee pee carved into the desks… no display boards where the paper is ripped and/or curling…#trips to france where they stay in pricey hotels? a prom that has a budget of over 50p? a library with books published *after* 1990?#like i left school in 2015 so a lot has probably changed in that time but. wow.#(this is obviously tongue in cheek i have no beef with the show please don’t attack me)#heartstopper#tv#schooling#education#admin dominique
