I simply think this fandom doesn't give Wei Wuxian enough credit for the various ways in which he saved Lan Wangji
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#wangxian#idk man- i just see a lot of “Lan Wangji has always been protecting Wei Wuxian” posts and its like...#I mean... Lan Wangji has always certainly been trying to protect Wei Wuxian#it took him a long time to figure how to successfully do that though#rereading the books rn and noticing theres a lot of instances that could be read as lwj being frustrated over his inability to protect wwx#like he seemed ready to cry when wwx went missing for a while and then came back with the cursed leg#lwj has always been great at protecting wwx from physical threats (ex: waterborn abyss) but had no idea how to protect him from himself#meanwhile wwx has always been instictually good at saving lwj from both#like I'm 100% lwj would've become like Jiang Cheng if wwx hadn't snapped him out of the blindly following authority thing#and also like... 15 y/o lwj wasnt happy with his life. he was lonely and stressed and literally signing up to be flogged whenever he goofed#wwx is who allowed lwj to grow up by showing him what it was like to actually be a kid (shown in story whenever lwj gets drunk)#he led lwj to having a more flexible mindset. and it both let lwj relax and set lwj up to be a better parent#looking into lwj's dynamic with the juniors- he lets them break a fuck ton of the petty rules and encourages them to question authority#he also teaches them to not be married to any one meathod of problem solving#wwx is also able to save lwj from his own stubbornness#ex: carrying lwj when he broke his leg. getting lwj to cough up bad blood. getting lwj to keep the rabbits#wwx also tends to give lwj the words he has trouble saying himself. helps him communicate#wwx also protects lwj in fights a lot but thats narratively less important#except the various times wwx puts himself in danger to help lwj. those times are what made it so lwj could never move on from wwx#like with the cave incident#or when wwx helped surpress the arm instead of using the chaos to escape cloud recesses#tldr i guess: i think this fandom tends to treat lwj being the best like its natural to him when really wwx accidentaly rewired his brain#I'm looking directly at fanfic writers who act like the Lans would've treated wwx better than the Jiangs#lwj had to do so much work and self reflection post meeting wwx to be the way he is. he is not the sole product of the Lan teachings

Repost.
Lots of text and ramble in tags.
(Sadly tags are not enough to express how I feel on this. So I'll try and maybe add more in a reblog tomorrow.)
#osc#object shows#tpot#twonut#tpot two#bfdi donut#Q-z art#couldn't find my old post of this my guess is cause i deleted it.#the distance of this drawing and what i draw now almost shows a huge shift in interest#and what kind of dynamics im inlove with now#this work still holds alot of value in my heart. because it reminds me of simpler times#admittedly i was alot happier than i am as of now#that damn pudding was my magnum opus#though im definitely the inventor and i feel no.1 fan of rootyshine (no competition ofc). it almost shows to any ogs who've followed my twt#- or tumblr. kinda got to see how much i grew as an artist. and how I'll continue to grow. even now im still learning#twonut was my start in loving rarepairs. and rootyshine is as if right now. my very favorite. my no.1 pick even#fun fact i used to switch around with hc two as tsmasc or tsfemme. really i was never consistent#theyre dynamic to me was something along the lines of. “god x some guy” kinda thing#it was funny. it was simple. and it was everything i could've ever needed at the time#quite alot. as seen in the pilot. she also seems like someone who can get very emotional in a sense. not in a way where she only cries#but generally shes very strong when it comes to expressing how she feels. and despite being someone who people rely on alot. aswell as#deeply look up to. shes flawed in how she carries herself#and that speaks to me alot. its what made me fall inlove with her character. even if it isnt something thats expressed in the pilot all much#as for shiny shes someone who almost parallels rooty in a way. shes also someone who holds herself to a high expectation.#almost to a point where she can feel diminished when she cant control how well she does. and can also be emotional with how she carries -#- herself. though she seems like someone who has a harder time really expressing it. shes has more restraint than rooty i feel#but that restraint comes with a consequence. she feels like someone. (even if the pilot showed she was just under pressure) -#that can have trouble when it comes to actually expressing certain emotions (maybe when it comes to apologizing or admitting her faults)#and with that. its one example of how they clash. and i could go on and on.#*first text i went one was about rooty. dunno what happened the part that specified it was abt might've gotten deleted. idk.

(Lord help me lads, I’ve got covid and I started watching Link Click—
#this is covid round 3 and it was worse than round 2 but I think it’s the tail end of it#I’ve had to watch the dub of link click because I can’t find one with subtitles my brain can keep up with#if a show is not in english or in japanese i will often try hard to find subtitles that include the cultural context in a translator’s note#that’s how I got through cql#I was also having trouble following the plot so I switched over after the first episode#but it seems like the 2 leads especially Understand The Assignment#and I know there’s obviously stuff that doesn’t translate that they’ll have localized but#I appreciate the effort at approximation#it’s got a similar vibe to me as the persona 5 dub in that way#also the 2 dub VAs clearly understand that there’s no heterosexual explanation for any of this#blah I should rewatch it in Not English once I can pay to watch an official version#I do know enough about it to have steeled myself to be Really Fucking Sad though

having read nearly all of the Jeeves short stories, it’s so funny to me that Bertie’s bisexuality manifests as casting a wide but shallow net at girls and a narrow but ridiculously deep net at men. He thinks girls are pretty on a reasonably frequent basis, and has tried to marry at least four women thus far (not counting the unwanted engagements), but when it doesn’t work out he’s over it in 24 hours. Meanwhile he shows absolutely no interest in and never gives flattering depictions of 99% of the men in his life, but will praise Jeeves to anyone who will listen, wax poetic about his appearance (and get defensive on his behalf about it when a child insults it), and is absolutely inconsolable when they are separated.
(also Bertie is in no way allosexual. he is canonically terrified at the thought of reproducing. and due to the narrow but deep net on the other end I don’t imagine he’s going around sleeping with loads of men, either. that man’s either demi as hell or just entirely ace)
#red randomness#jeeves and wooster#bertie wooster#reginald jeeves#wooves#jooster#100 and up neat#finally determined my take on Bertie orientation and had to get the thoughts out#granted I have only read the first three short story collections + Extricating Young Gussie (re: none of the novels or last two stories)#so I can’t speak for the few stories following that or any of the novels#but this is my StanceTM#curious to see what that pastiche Jeeves and the Wedding Bells is like and whether or not it matches this#because if it’s focused on a Bertie het romance then I have trouble seeing it#he truly doesn’t seem invested enough in women for it to carry a whole book???#they’re more like crushes or cheery whims#while Jeeves is so close to his heart that he can’t bear to be without him. a source of comfort as a person beyond just what the man does#side note there are two pastiches I’ve heard about that put Bertie with Bobbie Wickham and that sounds untenable lmao#Bertie would be at his wit’s end#also I heard she gets a guy later anyway?? and at this point Bertie’s already fallen out of love with her besides???#truly the greatest sin of those two pastiches is separating him from Jeeves though. good fucking luck#it also sounds like the show is kinda different?? but I’ve never seen it#anyway I’m rambling without all the information so maybe this is total nonsense but hey!

Death Cab's gonna have a Plans show in Chicago in August... unfortunately my enjoyment of death cab is sort of a cumulative 'i really love like, 25 songs that are scattered across their entire discography' kind of thing, so if i went to the effort of going to Chicago to see them, i'd really just be going to hear Crooked Teeth, and to a lesser extent Marching Bands of Manhattan and Soul Meets Body
#and i'd have to hear that one boring overplayed song that i took out of my library#“I Will Follow You into the Dark” GOD that's it#i was like 'which one was it. someday you will be loved?? is that the one i dislike??' and kiiind of; but its more interesting than iwfyitd#anyway the other songs on plans are fine. i probably would have a nice time; but death cab is too big and chicago is too far to justify it#like you know those tickets will be expensive#i need a text post tag#i think they did a transatlanticism tour a while back and i had the same reasoning for not trying to go#even though i think i like that album more#im a very uhhh defeatist kind of concert goer. i have to REALLY WANT TO SEE A BAND LIVE to go to the trouble and stress and money#so i just see TMBG over and over again#someday i'd like to see Modest Mouse but they seem to mostly play big expensive festivals where i'm not interested in the other acts

the best girls (my opinion) (movies only)
#emilie de ravin#my things#not only mice but also gifs#reason: i've watched everything relatively short (as slowly as i could🥲) (and wanted to play with fonts x))#(“air force one is down” is technically a miniseries but it's 2 parts under 3 hours so i consider it a movie because i do what i want)#(also the fact that “love and other troubles” must exist somewhere in a decent quality and i can't find it annoys me very much🥲)#i'll probably never fully rewatch most of these (for various reasons) except for “remember me” and maybe “santa's slay” x))#i feel like i have to watch “lost” now but i don't want to be emotionally invested in anything Long#+i didn't avoid watching it when it aired only to start it 15 years later🥲#why everyone back in the day seemed to latch on one particular movie character almost entirely ignoring the rest is still a mystery to me🙃#(though i still know nothing and the party is still over)#follow me for more mediocre gifs and salty opinions on things no one has been interested in for several years now lol#anyem#my anyem/anyelle things

hey y'all! this isn't really a formal ~announcement~ so much as it is something i just wanted to express so i would stop feeling like i was somehow keeping it a secret
i've been having trouble with motivation re: ttdl, and i have been for a while now. i don't know when that'll change. it's not a matter of not knowing what comes next - it's the process of actually putting it down on the page that's been difficult for me. so i'm not sure when i'll be able to update it again.
i don't intend to abandon it, but i also need to give myself the freedom to work on what comes to me in the moment, instead of turning ttdl-being-unfinished into a weapon that i use to beat myself up whenever i have another idea i want to write. that would be a surefire way to make me never want to work on it again
so, instead, i'm going to think of it as letting ttdl rest. it's been a long journey to get here, and it's time to pause and recuperate. thank you so much to everyone who's been a part of this process so far - i appreciate you more than i can say!
as always, thanks for reading!!
-love, birl<3
#dark lord wip#i've been weighing saying something for a while#i care a lot about this story#and expressing that i'm feeling this way seemed like it would make it Real#so i waited in the hopes that it would just pass and everything would be 'normal'#but!! i am neither a superhuman nor a robot#i've met a lot of cool people and had a lot of fun conversations because of ttdl#which is one of the reasons i didn't want to admit that i've been having trouble working on it#but i also don't want to be disingenuous#even though i feel like ttdl is what a lot of people know me for#and why a lot of people follow me etc#that's not a reason for me to like. make my life revolve around ttdl#anyway

Okay but seriously…what is actually the best social media platform for artists?
#art#artists on tumblr#I have a decent following here#instagram doesn’t seem to get much engagement#and I have a lot of trouble gaining followers on Twitter#is this really the best the internet has to offer right now?

Man I wonder where the leader of the fear realm could've gone, it's alMOST LIKE NEVIN HAS AN
#had to re-edit the image real quick because the original edit was from a post I made about Drew years ago#and while the Drew thing is becoming less and less likely. Nevin havinv one has basically been canon since#someone mentioned Greg's (was it Britney's) aura being familiar in s2ch1. ive been putting together a list of every line#that points to Nevin's aura throughout the whole thing (most from s2ch1 but then s2ch10 came out and it was really canon at that point)#but clearly i'm running out of time to say ''i fucking called it'' before it's explicitly stated and i dont want to be in another situation#where somebody else will beat me to a theory and me posting anything about it will seem like copying them. sorry about that btw i had#thought i had already mentioned theorizing that nevin was possessed by a demon in that old theory i made but i had forgotten that one was#super old and was about sigma. so no copying there i just got extremely paranoid there was a mention of a cult and i was like ''nuh uh#that's way too specific and out there of a detail to end up in both our theories'' and i forgot the rest of my super old post was outdated#as hell. and echos had gone ''yeah they're so similar!'' and i took their word for it but now i'm realizing they were probably just trying#to be supportive. so yeah no copying there i was just beaten to the punch of saying something. but i will NOT back down from the aura shit#because i have been calling that shit FROM THE START or at least since i started reading ibvs back when ch20 came out.#also not backing down from saying chris was the worse friend because these past few chapters are the first time isaac has done anything tha#could knowingly upset chris meanwhile chris has. let edward drag isaac to the lair after isaac said edward would beat him up. chose not to#believe edward was holding the secrets over their heads because 'it was something isaac had said' and then immediately distrusted edward in#the next chapter because a random person he didn't know said to steal a book (might i mention how that entire scene proves chris' lack of#development and refusal to take responsibility because it perfectly alludes to when chris had brought those fireworks into his old school#and makes me wonder if charlie has actually gotten him in trouble with his past schools or if he's still just not taking responsibility#and if him following nevin to the woods to test out their powers is an extension of ''if something bad happens its not my fault''#like seriously this man would bring a mysterious suitcase onto a plane if he's told to). uh what was i talking about agai#anyway on a related note my mental state has only gotten worse since i left tumblr and the habit of thinking about chris instead of sleepin#or doing schoolwork has not stopped. so i was still failing for a while and might graduate now but am still staying away from tumblr.#so yeah this was a little update and im not going to linger this time im just going to leave tumblr again right after hitting post#addendum because i just can't let things go. and was thinking about chris again. i don't think his lack of development is because of bad#writing (anymore. i used to.). instead i'm certain his character arc is going to continue into him following someone (nevin probably) into#doing something really bad. and then he'll finally get actual consequences and go 'oh shit i fucked up real bad this time'#if you think that theory is reaching too far into the future you should hear mine about isaac dying at the end lmao

Seriously, it's not so hard to find a Slavic person to consult when you're coming up with a Slavic character for any media. The number of inacuracies in that is astounding. As if we were an extinct nation and the only information about us was in inelligible scripture experts struggled to translate.
You don't have to pull stuff out of your ass. We are real people and we're not savages, either, we do have internet. Don't you wanna be the cool sort of Westerner, who knows how to present their Slavic character without making them wrong and cringe? Wouldn't it feel nice to know your audience appreciates your efforts instead of thinking you're an idiot?
Don't be an idiot.
#slavic#writing#characters#there are rules in naming many of our nations follow#not a bad idea to learn about them before you go picking out a “cool” name#deities give me strength -_-#and for dummies:#yes Slavic people are mainly Russian people (by the sheer number of them)#but as you might be aware there are others#like Czech (hello)#but (especially) Americans don't seem to grasp the intricate differences of European nations#and English speaking nations (especially those who don't have a second official language) have real trouble understanding#how language changes the rules of naming#it's okay to make mistakes#but please learn from them whenever you realize that you've made them#don't make “cringe wrong Russians” into a thing other people copy to not sound fake instead of actually portraying them authentically

Guy with the "learns everything slowly disorder": man why is everybody but me picking up this thing quickly
#realised today that the reason why following blender tutorials stress me out so much is that i have 'forgets everything he reads immedietly'#or 'has trouble processing verbal commands'#or 'has difficulty processing large amounts of text'#si it takes me double the time to follow a tutorial or solve a technical issue than it should which is why#i find learning 3d so difficult#i mean its hard anyway but the actual modellimg im good at its literally mostly the learning the processes#which is difficult as fuck#realised that its going to take me double the time to learn french than i planned bc i realised i have this difficulty#but yeah earlier i was comparing myself to all my other classmates who seem to know what theyre doing and realised like wait.

Was midway through typing out a defense of Jon's decisions in light of how everyone (including Jonny) seems to think he could've done much better, but then I remembered he walked up to Jude Perry's front door and knocked and yknow what post cancelled actually. For that alone this man is an idiot (affectionate)
#jon jarchivist#I'm not using any serious tags I don't want the incomplete real thought behind this post to get traction dhshs#but real talk though.#the majority of Jon's ''mistakes'' come either from acting on a lack of information where waiting could have been much worse#or just the bare fact that for the majority of people in a helpless situation; doing Something feels better than laying down and giving up#even if that something has a high chance of making things worse#season 3-4 Jon thought he was stopping the end of the world or at least delaying it#and yeah; he knew he was probably aiding an Eye ritual; but he didn't know how Soon that would be an issue and what are you supposed to do?#by the time he got to the point of actually knowing the shape of what was going on he was so trapped#being certain there was no way out for him personally but not yet quite certain enough that the world was in as much trouble as it was#of course that's going to push him to wait and learn more instead of doing something drastic#short of taking himself out there was really not a lot to be done by then#and well. The man did die#and it didn't work#he could've tried to kill Elias but at that point evil or not he was still seeming like the one person#who was handing Jon enough power and info to deal with anything else effectively#I just feel like most people underestimate both the obviousness of hindsight#and the fear and confusion of a person who is in this sort of situation with no ability to put the phone down and step back#no genre awareness#if TMA was a dnd actualplay or some other similar adventure thing then for example breaking the table in season 2 would've worked#making a bold move would work#but it's horror. you don't generally assume your life follows the rules of horror#idk. post for later maybe#....but point still stands: seeking out Jude was REALLY stupid kdkfhs#boy that should have killed you. any of the avatars you hunted down in s3 should've lit you up#the Amount of background intimidation work Elias probably had to do to keep that from happening#migraine for weeks I'm sure lmao

I apparently have a real soft spot for introverted smartasses who secretly care very deeply and earnestly about their loved ones
#this is about so many characters but first and foremost this goes out to my most precious and#wonderful partner. this post is about him first and foremost. love you pookie ❤️#but I can also relate this sentiment to the following characters:#chilchuck. Saiki K. Davesprite. that one hunk with glasses from blue exorcist. Sebastian from stardew valley. idk I seem to have a type#what I need now is more girls who get to be introverted smartasses who secretly care very deeply and earnestly about their loved ones#I’m having trouble thinking of girls who are smartasses. more of those immediately#this is a personal post don’t read into it too hard

oh my god I was thinking about a jayvik fallout new vegas AU and was like "hm maybe Viktor uploads himself into one of those robots until he can get a different body by like repurposing power armor or something idk" and then I remembered that this guy's name actually is Victor
#idk what to do with Jayce tbh its been a while since ive played this game#just thought this was a funny coincidence adjfkg#you know the brainworms have gotten real bad when im coming up with a bunch of weird ass AUs#ok i know i just said i wanna shut up about fandom things but this was in my drafts and i think it's a little funny#honestly idk if that would even work i don't know if they have the technology to transfer an entire personality to a robot?#i think they just have their own weird AIs going on and if Viktor wanted to extend his life he'd have to do the other thing#and augment himself with power armor. like that seems more in line with what would actually work within the lore#though it has been a while so there's a lot of fa/lout lore i don't remember idk#maybe he has like an emergency ai based on his personality in there but its distinctly not him and it's a creepy how uncanny it is#OR the robot is blitzcrank which would make the most sense actually idk why that wasn't my first thought#anyways i have a few ideas on what a questline with him and Jayce could look like maybe?#like Viktor is chilling with the followers of the apocalypse or whatever those were called#Jayce is maybe a field medic with the NCR? and when they go on their regular vacations to the strip he gets drunk and in a fight#somehow he ends up in freeside at the fort where the followers are and Viktor patches him up. That's how they meet#and then they bond over medical research science stuff. Now Jayce just dips out on his ncr buddies whenever they go to the strip#he just goes to freeside to hang out with Viktor. He probably also steals supplies from the ncr bc the followers have so few resources#he brings all that stuff to Viktor and they make new medicines and build cool shit that helps freeside etc#but then Viktor is dying of radiation sickness. ensue fetchquests to gather power armor parts and supplies#so he can build a new body and avoid dying yippie. maybe his backup ai and building blitzcrank from that can be like a sidequest#different sidequest would probably be Jayce getting in trouble with the ncr. and having to deal with that#idk I'm just throwing ideas at a wall and seeing what sticks. I'm having fun with it tho#maybe if my brain doesn't hate me I'll make some art for this. it's a neat little concept#this is NOT going into the tags lol. i am embarrassed about everything i say as per usual forever and always amen 🙏
