#this should just be the master post

[theemeraldforestafterdark]

I don't know where to begin. I don't know how to begin.

I was thinking when I woke up that these blogs, in an ideal world would contain: my writing (fiction), text posts about stuff that isn't about me, my photography (with a new camera) and lots of themed reblogs. There'd be far less of posts like this. Which am beyond tired of writing. They're never made for attention or any of that, rather that they come from a place of sheer frustration. Especially in the wake of realising why everything is the way it is over the past 5-6 years. I'm just not happy and not content and haven't ever been free from those which have derailed me so severely. The constant year in year out anxiety is increasing and I'm getting more and more worn down. I am well and truly stuck. Any life I did have, scattered lightly through my time on earth, feels like it's ended, and yet I'm still here.

How do you even begin when the world is falling apart like it is, too. I don't think I'd get the right treatment from professionals at this point, because it spans my entire life, not just medical, but everything. Every part of me needs sorting out and untangling. I've lost years and years and years not realising what was going on. I kind of miss when I thought it was all on me and not really knowing the true reasons.

If I was in a lucid dream with a ghost, I would simply impress them with my blunt rolling skills

You can pry that stupid red collar out of my cold dead hands ANYWAY very self indulgent (and rushed/consept-y beacuse I wanted to get it on paper) Simm!Master design for an AU RP me n my freind r doing.

codtwt is going off on brainwashed!soap bc of his new warzone skin and it’s making me think of ghost deliberately getting himself captured by makarov bc he knows he’ll be given to his dog to try and break him; knows he won’t be able to resist the irony, the cruelty of being tortured by the teammate he lost

he doesn’t fight; welcomes the chains around his wrists and ankles, welcomes the hands stripping him of his weapons and gear until he's defenceless

he wouldn't use them anyway

when he stalks into the room, the muzzle, the scars, not even the blank hatred or lack of recognition could make him mistake his eyes

that's his johnny

he doesn't flinch as he digs knives into his skin; would never shy away from his kiss even if it's tinged with rusted steel. doesn't swallow his screams; not when he always loved hearing him, when he spent so long coaxing his voice from the grave

frustration joins the anger in johnny's eyes the longer he goes without giving up information

just jokes; dark and puns alike

just advice when he can't get the jumper cables to spark right

ghost's not trying to escape; not trying to barter his return to the 141

he's right where he wants to be

if i think for too long about the fact that the Doctor and the Master spent a whole year together aboard the Valiant i start losing my mind. a whole year. how many times did the Doctor try to forgive the Master? did they ever try to talk? did they ever sit in silence, just the two of them, finding a new sort of kinship in being the last of their kind? did they grieve together? did either of them ever have a moment of vulnerability where they almost reached out for the other's mind, longing for contact and understanding, only to stop out of fear of what they could find?

aughh rewatched my favourite ep today and !! vamp willow still sort of confiding in xander even after she realized he wasn't her xander. he asks if she's okay and she straight up tells him no because everything is so horribly wrong and he obviously doesn't know what's going on because he's alive now but he still cares about her, doesn't he? yes. clearly. so maybe they can stick together like she's used to. and then she shuts down the moment someone else walks into their bubble

feeling very normal about this

"Don't worry, I'm on your side," I lie, knowing full well that I'm about to make them fight five CR 5 vampire spawn at 2nd level.

saw a post a few days ago that said something along the lines of: "the First Spinjitzu Master and his family should be royalty and have the ability to interfere in Ninjago's government"

hard disagree with this however because basically every *political* decision this family makes is awful:

the First Spinjitzu Master negotiates a peace between humans and serpentine that exists around Aspheera's time. what is that peace? simple: humans and serpentine are forbidden to enter each other's lands. let's be clear - this is a creation of two ethnostates divided on the basis of species. yes humans and serpentine are different species, but as sentient beings they have fundamental equality. dividing them like this is absurd and as we see later, only leads to more conflict

Garmadon and Wu facilitate the end of the Serpentine War by locking every Serpentine underground presumably forever. what about the Serpentine children? civilians? also, even POWs (which is functionally what the Serpentine are once put under the control of the Sacred Flutes) should be released after the conclusion of the war (see Article 118 of Geneva Convention III). the anacondrai minus Pythor starve to death as a result. why do they do this? listen to what Wu tells Lloyd as a mere child: "never trust a snake." should we accept this racism simply because Wu's dad used some magic weapons once?

more fundamentally, Ninjago as a society is a constitutional monarchy whose emperor is a figurehead (and also dead). functionally, Ninjago is governed by democratic institutions, and that's a good thing. yeah it sucks that the Ninja go to prison when they break the law, but you shouldn't get a pass because of something your ancestors did.

the reason we have democratic institutions is because they are supposed to be most responsive to the people the state is designed to benefit - their citizens. that's because citizens have a direct say in who they elect and therefore government policy. no citizen's right to vote should be overturned because some old guy asserts his birthright to be in charge.

and even just from a practical level, would Ninjago be better governed if Garmadon had returned from the Underworld and proclaimed that as the eldest heir to the FSM, he deserves to rule? Given all the secrets Wu keeps, would he be a better leader? and Lloyd -- cmon he is NOT a politician, let him teach his kids in peace.

Noises Off by Runicmagitek

It's currently only two chapters but My Fucking God. The Objectum is so real with this one.

Very silly idea, but I haven’t seen art of Ingo and Emmet as the mesmerizer song. Spontaneously decided to do a fun edit!

Bonus official palette and the screenshot I used as my base!

The good thing that would come out of Dick adopting Damian would be the comedy of Bruce's first grandchild being his biological son.
