i have something to say 👩🏽🦯➡️
#the evolution in halsey’s music is what i expected from solo harry#i’ve been listening to her so much this past week or two and well. i’ve been thinking#obviously i think she’s a great artist. and the more i time i spend thinking abt it the more strongly i believe this#she’s giving me what i wanted harry styles to give me#and there’s a case to be made about artistic integrity vs art for the sake of capitalistic gain#which is where i think they primarily diverge#because with hs1 there was no real guarantee of success. commercial or critical#there was an existing (pop) fan base but none of us knew what he’d give us and whether we’d like it (enough to chart it anyway)#debuting with a 6 min rock ballad was a ballsy move and it remains one of his best work for a reason#hs1 as a body of songs will survive the test of time for a reason#it set fine line up for success with the average fan. and then he sold his soul to the devil with album 3#halsey has been on a completely different trajectory#with every album she caters less and less to critics and makes the art she Wants to make. tells the story she Wants to tell#she stopped chasing the charts a long long time and it shows in her writing!#anyway. if u get it then u get it and if you don’t then u dont#seedpost

I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc
#damian wayne#damian al ghul#damian al ghul wayne#batman#batfamily#for all of the issues that come with having Steph as your fave having too much wild shit happening at once is never one of them#btw I quite like The Boy Wonder Issue 1. wow shocker an artist and writer who I have liked everything they've ever done#has once again written something that I am enjoying with art that makes me want to be part of its world.#it's almost like Juni Ba is really freaking talented or something#like I have some problems with it but it seems like many of those are part of the point. Damian is learning that his siblings are more#three-dimensional than he realized and that is part of this 'coming of age' story merged with fairytale#so I can't be mad at the oversimplistic defining of Dick and Jason and Tim until the conclusion of the series. that might be the point.#I hope that the series will address Steph as a Robin but if not then frankly it's not an issue unique to this series.#I'll be annoyed and disappointed but ultimately roll with it like I am with Babsgirl being here. There's too much good stuff here to get#hung up on shit that seems to be almost an editorial mandate at this point. at least that's where I'm at.#I am also very sorry that Chip Zdarsky is massacring your boy. he has 'X (Tim for him) is the best Robin so everyone else must suck' diseas#where a writer really likes one specific Robin and in trying to uplift them demeans all of the other Robins. instead of like...just writing#for that one character only or alternatively not demeaning the other characters in order to make his blorbo look good#it's wild because I actually think his writing for Tim is pretty solid. but he's not writing a Tim series. he's writing a Batman series.#and if you are going to write a Batman series and include other Batfamily members you need to actually write them well.#instead of assigning them like 2 personality traits while Tim gets to be a whole character#I accept that behavior in fanfic where I have lesser standards because it's fucking free. not a comic run that wants me to pay#tens of dollars in order to understand what the fuck is going on. he's been going for a while now it's gotta be a lot of money.#I can buy Steelworks with that money. I can see John Henry and Natasha Irons in a trade. Fuck you Chip.#it's why it takes such a special person to write a good ensemble story/a good Batfamily story. you have to be good at writing a LOT#of different characters. which I don't think most people are. I sure as hell am not. I can write maybe 3 at a time confidently well.#and you also have to give all of them at least SOME love or else people will be upset that you aren't focusing on their fave#and also the writing as a whole will suffer. Chip Zdarsky is a pretty good Tim writer. I'd maybe read a Tim solo written by him.#I would not read a story focusing on multiple characters that I like written by Chip Zdarsky. because every character who isn't Tim#is at least a bit weak/inconsistent/out of character INCLUDING FUCKING BATMAN. THE NO. 1 GUY MOST ARE HERE FOR

there have been many formative video games and pieces of art in general in my life but i am going to make a very bold and intoxicated statement that alan wake 2 was the most critical and relatable and overall resonates with me on a level nothing else does
#mk.op#rose tyler is the only other character i've ever come close to relating to but#alan and his creative process and...substance problems even if mine don't go as deep connect to me on a level#no character has ever been able to before#as much as i herald nick as my all time fav i just...i can't relate to him#i don't repress like he does. i don't move on like he does. i'm not optimistic like he is.#my endurance and strength doesn't perservere in my suffering like his does#i don't get whisked away by the love of my life like rose does from an existence that feels mundane and pointless#(if anything i'm more like a nigel crane i guess with my obsessive tendencies wanting to be that character)#(rather than relate to them on some delusional level cause i'm not them)#dale cooper is another one of those life changing characters that i just wish i could BE#but alan and his demons? i relate#saga in the dark place? that's my mind every day#i kinda lost my train of thought now that the song ended but i'm sure my mind would also conjure up some whacky musical of my life#in my own dark place#((i have a full solo cup right now i'm sorry y'all))#((you prob follow me for pretty gifs and don't sign up for this brand of crine text posts and tags))

#it's the way he solos everyone else despite getting almost no screentime because the devs hate him for no reason#please i'm dying simeon is SUCH a good character. simeon/mc kills me EVERY time#obey me simeon#simeon x mc#simeon#obey me#obey me nightbringer#obey me nightbringer spoilers#obey me spoilers#i didn't care for this season or how it ended one bit + i'm still mad about how poorly the devs treat diavolo#but as a barbatos/simeon/solomon “main” this lesson was a trip#long post /

maybe life is best lived one step at a time.
and maybe sometimes difficult things are worth pursuing.
and maybe certain scars are worth overcoming.
#askbensolo#art#ben solo#story event: an awkward situation 2#i kinda miss classic ben tbh#he was so baby. he was OUR baby#kylo ren#every now and then I throw ben’s stuff in the kylo tag just to see if anyone new finds the blog lol#even though he’s not kylo at all and at this point I don’t even know if he’s Ben Solo the way others see him#but he’s. you know. our ben solo.#i honestly think the ask ben solo lore has reached a point of critical depth that you...cannot really get into this blog unless#you go back and read it all and get to know him...lol#i'm glad i came back. after all this time. haha.#don't let me ever end this blog. if i disappear just drag me back lol#seriously this blog is something special. ben feels...so real to me

forcing myself to learn to b independent and do solo activites and not succumb to travel anxiety thru sheer exposure therapy
#i think 2024 was rly good for me in that sense . but i still get so anxious every time i have to execute a solo outing#not even over specifically being alone but just being worried smth will happen or ill lose smth + feeling like i have to b#100% aware of my surroundings constantly w 0 chance to relax .. slowly hopefully i will b less on edge all the time ....

You guys don’t know how much yearning for Baghdad takes up of my mental real estate
#I have so many videos saved of last year’s trip#Me and my cousin laughing and joking w my dad while getting ready#The fact that multiple men asked my dad for my hand in marriage (lmao)#Me calling my mom every night to make fun of my “suitors”#All the gorgeous restaurants#Forcing my dad to rate every dress I tried on whenever he took me somewhere#Being catcalled by guys was an unpleasant experience but it was still fun to laugh ab it w my mom#Me having a MASSIVE crush on a family friend#That one time my dad said all the dresses I brought were too short so he bought me a dress that#Went down to literally my ankles#But the family friend was gonna be there so I showed it to my mom and she was like#“You’d wear that??? The queen of mini skirts????” And then she IMMEDIATELY clocked me and was like#Ur behaving strangely. U must have a crush. Who is it.#The hot fuckin summer nights that I spent sitting outside w my cousin on the big swing in the garden#The capital when it was drenched in sunset#When my aunt’s husband took me to the University of Baghdad and I got to literally play act being a student there#Which was a profound experience bc it’s the university my mom went to#Sneaking into the library even though u needed a student pass for that (:#Shadowing my uncle in his laboratory#My first ever nishan !!!#No weddings sadly but I got to see the buildup to the wedding so#And I think getting to call the shots and fly solo from the states to Amman and then to Baghdad was sick as hell#My mom never let me fly abroad by myself before and now im probably gonna be going solo all the time#Help I need to go back#Bro I wish I could drop everything#But before I go to Baghdad I’ll probably have to go to Belgium first for my uncle#SO many stops before I get to where I rly wanna be#I never explicitly told my dad im not religious but I think he already knows im full of sin. Memories..#Omg and my bibi’s delicious food

my toxic trait is that I think sometimes it's good to be a little bit of a bitch
#when the store is busy and I'm chasing my own tail about it and there's STILL lines and people are impatient and rude#it DISARMS them when I let them see that I'm just as frustrated as they are#solo shift today was the busiest that it's ever been on my workdays and genuinely#the fact that I got to a point that I was going ''oh my gosh you can't be serious'' in despair every time the phone rang AGAIN#(I'm required to answer and prioritize the phone every time even if I'm dealing with another customer in-store)#made the customers who were being impatient and impolite to me actually chill out and be nice to me!#I can't control that it's insanely busy and I'm the only person here!!!#all I can do is my best and sometimes I am at the end of my rope too#also#sometimes people just need to hear something very bluntly to get the point and this can come across as mean#doesn't mean it's wrong though.

because I’m bored I have a question! if we ever got an encanto series would you want songs in it?
#encanto#encanto disney#disneys encanto#mirabel madrigal#isabela madrigal#bruno madrigal#luisa madrigal#camilo madrigal#dolores madrigal#pepa madrigal#felix madrigal#agustin madrigal#julieta madrigal#abuela alma madrigal#disney’s encanto#me personally if it’s the original cast give me a song every episode I love everyone’s voices#but also like I have a feeling if there was a continuation lin would come back and write bangers#i spend an embarrassing amount of time thinking about who would get a song or duets or ensemble songs#Dolores needs a solo I feel like camilo would either have a duet or solo#Antonio is precious if he had a song with anyone I would cry#I want the sisters to have a song together not just 3 lines#pepa and Felix love song….#agustin singing I LOVE MY WIFE#alma singing with like anyone#bruno I’m not sure but maybe a song with him and mirabel would be fun#idc if mirabels already had loads of songs Stephanie’s voice is great I need more mirabel songs#this is all hypotheticals#I live in delusion#embrace it#I want Mariano to have a corny song

Just saw this comment on a story posted a month ago.
*cries in Eddie Munson Solo Series no one wanted to read, interact with or request for*
No shade to the person that commented this on their own fic if you recognize it. It's not their fault. I'm not mad at them. More crying in the tags.
#and no I didn't tag the solo series like I normally would because it's not about THAT. It's not about trying to get people to read it#It was just really ouchie to see the same concept I wrote 2 years ago get triple the notes in ONE MONTH.#and double the notes of my solo series masterlist in general in one month vs 2 years of my stories sitting there rotting#Then I see people saying they need more solo Eddie and I'm just here like my dudes I begged for requests. BEGGED. But bc I wasn't#/have never been a popular writer people don't want it from ME. It's like omg we want THIS but not like that. Not from you.#Can't help but let it get you down when nothing has changed in 2 years. It's not like I worked my way up and have the interaction now#that every other blog I used to commiserate with back in the day is getting currently. Fandom isn't a competition but it's not fair either#and I really struggle with that a lot of the time#Also yes I will concede I should be happy with the notes on the solo series because they are the highest of all the work on my page but#they're still nothing compared to what some people have just hours after posting a new story.#I saw someone complaining the other day that there are less new stories in the fandom than ever 1. That's simply not true. 2. Even if it wa#can you blame writers for giving up when readers are checking the same popular blogs over again or reading the same 5 tropes the same#2 pairings over and over. The same series? Over and over. Ignoring everything else and then complaining that their faves don't post enough?#That the popular writer with the incredible series (that rightfully deserves interaction) hasn't posted a new dad!eddie or rockstar!eddie#drabble in ages meanwhile there are writes out there pouring their souls into dad!eddie and no one reads it. There is so much rockstar Eddi#smut out there that it could sustain a brand new reader for an entire year before they needed a new fic#Idk man. I'm just feeling so defeated. I write for fun now. But there was a point in time where I desperately tried to build a platform by#offering requests and writing a lot of things I would not otherwise write to try and gain traction on my page and every time I see another#food fucking fic get hundreds of notes I get so sad that I wrote that stupid Melon fic because I had people in my life that told me#they would be excited to read it and for what? One of them still talks to me. The others moved on so fast. Most didn't even reblog it.#Some of them have since written their own food fucking fics that got triple the notes of my OG. Again. No shade to them. I don't own the#concept. It's just disheartening and fucking sad above all else. How hard I tried to get people to LIKE me and my stories. 😂#Just sad hours in general tonight my guys. Going to go and pour the bad feelings into Aftermath and then maybe make a bad life choice and#pour all my savings into an ipad#YES I KNOW first world problems. I know. That's why I try not to talk about it bc it seems so petty considering the state of the world#But you can't help what gets you down#EMMs Journal#EMM's Journal

I’m sorry, not to be super negative, but a “bridge” between s1 and 3? S2 was intentionally pointless filler? Like I get the three-act structure, but Jesus if you (Gaiman) can’t come up with a feasible way to tie what is supposedly the sequel plot to the existing canon, maybe he just isn’t that good of a writer!! (I’ve only read gomens and American gods, and American gods was………………… a slog. I never bothered with the show despite the phenomenal cast) Like season 2 was unfathomably bad, and I just can’t see Terry setting up a sequel that would require SIX EPISODES of filler to cover in order to get to the next part of the plot. S1 shouldn’t have happened but it did. S2 just straight shouldn’t exist and tbh I hope s3 is cancelled because I think it’d be really funny if NG was so up his ass with fan service that he fucks his chance to write a “sequel”
This. And I don't think we would be this angry had it all been "pointless filler" (imagine if we got 6 episodes worth of the S1 ep3 cold opening 😂 I probably would have been like "...okay? Cool I guess!" had it all been in-character, with no progression of the plot); I've talked about how it changed the characters irreparably in several past asks. I'm not gonna insult all of Neil Gaiman's writing because this because I've genuinely enjoyed some of his work, but like I said in a previous ask, a piece of media should be able to be good on its own without any context or explanation. And that's exactly it -- WHAT IF season 3 never gets written? Season 2 would just be left on its own, sucking til the end of time. Why make something bad that cannot stand by itself just because you hope a sequel gets made? Why not make something good from the get-go if you can?
#ask#anonymous#good omens critical#good omens season 2#Some people got mad at me for saying that I hope season 3 gets cancelled...but I cannot lie I still think it'll be incredibly funny#......I think my favorite (solo) Neil Gaiman writing is......Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader 😂😂😂#idk why but that hits me so hard every time

I am so beyond ready to quit this job. Wednesday cannot come fast enough.
#to be fair it's bc school starts again in a few weeks#but idk. every day at this office feels like sandpaper on my skin. people always ask me shit i dont understand#and every case is so individual there's no set checklist to follow to troubleshoot#so most of the time I just grind my gears and get stuck#it'd busy more days than not.#and it was advertised to me as data entry only. client interactions was not what i signed up for.#it's all client interaction.#we're short staffed so nobody gets to take the back office and have a break.#when we weren't short staffed i was the new guy and only got 1 day in the back a week while everyone else got 2.#all my coworkers are conservative but talk like they're apolitical.#i thought it'd be fulfilling bc im helping people get benefits#but many are rude or impatient as any other service job. I'm constantly trying to direct people that don't want to listen#or explain the intricacies of something i barely understand.#and i don't want to lead people astray bc you have to start over if you blow a deadline.#but there's just nothing redeeming that i enjoy.#i hate customer service. i hate constantly asking questions. i like seldom few of my coworkers.#i can't be me at work.#and i don't care about the work itself anymore.#this job made me cry every day for weeks last month from sheer stress and overstimulation.#i almost cried myself sick several times.#the only reason I'm not there anymore is bc i dont fucking care anymore.#it took me 2 months to burn out. 2 months!#i was training for half of that!!#idk. everyone decided i was smart and could pick it up quickly so. even though everyone else got 4-6 weeks of shadowing#you can make do with 3 before you start doing stuff solo.#which feels unfair. i wasn't ready for it. and i resent the decision quite a bit.#plus it's been a nightmare for me in terms of external stressors and my generally deteriorating mental health. so.#all in all. i hate it here.#and i can't wait to turn in my notice so i can gtfo in 2 weeks#i am so tired. free me. let me go back to my music please

genuinely wondering why some players play genshin if not for fun… like it’s literally a game it’s not that serious….
#for context#sometimes i coop the azdaha domain for fun#and like most times people play like … normally ? i guess you can say#but sometimes you run into those AR 60 long time players or those like east asian whales#u know what i mean#and like they’re obviously cooping this domain for fun like do u rlly think they need help ☠️#so sometimes they bring low level characters ir even lvl 1 characters#bc why the fuck not u play every character in the game enough times they get boring so u play a character u never play#even if it’s like lvl 1#which is besides the point#bc this persons level c6 diluc has better stats than like 70% of the genshin playerbase#like i went to check this person diluc#has 2k atk 60/160~% cr/cdmg#like also even if the diluc has ASS dmg#it doesn’t matter bc there’s literally 3 other people in a coop domain#you telling me you’re not confident enough in your builds to solo this giant lizard#me personally i know any of my dps’s solo this domain any day#unless i’m playing healer or support#idc if the whole fucking team dies bc i know i can do it myself#this girl rlly was like ‘level 1 diluc’#and just holding us hostage in character select#like BRUH JUST STFU AND PLAY DUDE#so i reply why does it matter this is for fun#and she goes#do you think this is fun?#THIS IS A GAME ????????#WHY ARE YOU PLAYING IF NOT FOR FUN 😭😭😭#even if we fail the challenge we can just play again???#i fucking swear genshin players (derogatory)#delete later

"hm. messmer is kinda kicking my ass and my summon clearly isnt doing very well rn. i should go do something else."
"wow. the putrescent knight is obliterating me. i should go do something else."
"why is there deathblight in this dancing dragon rematch. i sh- wait."
#ramblings#playing elden ring is like having an angel and a devil on your shoulder#the angel says 'its okay youre probably underlevelled just go do something else dont worry <3'#the devil says 'GET BETTER AT THE GAME YOU PUSSY!!!'#when the git gud crowd is actually insufferable but also right. fuck#yk how i beat malenia the first time. i spent a week going at her for like an hour or three depending on how i felt that day#i didnt summon anyone. no people. no ashes. just me and malenia#and i learned her moveset.#i spent 10 minutes on every attempt on average. because i was playing a twohanded katana#which doesnt do that much damage unless you proc hemorrhage! which you wont proc if youre playing it REAL safe#i went at her for HOURS#until i could consistently get her to like 75% hp without using any flasks. until i could get her to 50%.#until i could somewhat consistently dodge enough of waterfowl not to die#when i got her to phase 2 on my own i LOST MY MIND#my dad suggested only summoning ashes in phase 2 because i got her to phase 2 solo.#my stepmom and i turned that into summoning halfway through phase 1#which is how i eventually beat her#yk what that was. madness. but it was also the essence of getting good. and i hate that stupid phrase#idk where i was going with these tags. i should try messmer solo to learn his moves#ive already started to learn a lot of his phase 1 moveset its just that some moves suck and the timing of the snakes in phase 2. ouchie
