i know for a fact i have made this post before but for me it's very important that bbc merlin is a pointless tragedy. it wouldn't be good (it's frequently not good anyway but it would be a lot further away from good) if it wasn't a pointless tragedy! it's simply not arthuriana if it doesn't go past the high point of the heroic/legendary/high medieval romance stuff and end with detailed rundowns of exactly how everybody got betrayed and died like that is what makes it real arthuriana to me and not just a silly show about a wizard
#'why did he die at the end! why did they make us miserable? why can't we have nice things!'#BECAUSE IT'S ARTHURIANA OKAY .that's what HAPPENS#if you're doing arthuriana you're not doing it right unless when you finally get to the end of this endless string of knight adventures#the main guy is like. dead and you're like well . what am i supposed to do now#like when i first read the great illustrated classic abridged king arthur in third grade and got to the end ofi t#and guinevere had been sent to a nunnery and half the nights had died in this battle or that one and merlin had been stuck in a cave#and then arthur dies and bedivere chucks his sword in a lake and then the book just ENDS#and i sat there consumed with emotions id never felt before. well i would've been disappointed if the end of bbc merlin had#NOT made me feel those emotions again#but it did. to me that is in fact its greatest success#merlin#q#like. dont get me wrong i like a fixfic as much as the next guy and in fact i plot them out all the time#but you cant DO that if the original material is. like. already happy#or meant to be

one thing I have learned about being poor is that you cannot for a moment stop thinking about it
#theres no peace#every little thing reminds me we are poor#seeing friends having electricity wifi heat food gas. it all costs money. and bills and fees and charges happen all the damn time#im constantly worried that i am measing up somehow or im not keeping track of my finances properly#the person handling our disability assistance application keeps coming back with question after question about my job#and i have so much doubt and fear that ive made some mistake in my answers that will disqualify us from support#and theres this sick backwards stupid thing where applying for and being on disability support is discouraging me from trying to make money#because the more i make the less likely we'll get support but i need to make money to live#its just fucked. and once we're on support i have to make monthly reports of my income so ill feel like im explaining myself all the fuckin#time#cus the system isnt built in a way that makes sense for self employed ppl who have business expenses to account for#sorry for the ranting i cant sleep#truly truly i think poverty is making me a worse persin#more anxious more resentful more jealous more miserable more spiteful#i have so little and there is so little i can do to help it#i want things in a more desparate and even childish way than i used to eant things#spend a lot more time fantasizing about magically having expendable income#not to mention the constant exponential guilt that comes from asking for help or recieving help. its guilt i need to unlearn but i feel it

i miss carpisuns sometimes </3
#not necessarily that I regret switching over but i just get like nostalgic for an earlier time in the ml fandom#s3 was soooo much fun for me#and the long hiatus before s4 was also the best. so good wasn’t ready for it to end when it did haha#things just feel so different in the fandom now#both the fandom has changed and I have changed#and of course the STORY has changed#and I like don’t know what to do about that or how to react#cause I am used to being one of the guys who is defending ml’s honor with my life lol#committed to spreading positivity#and I still want to be that guy!#but it’s like. idk. I don’t recognize this story anymore#this isn’t the same story that I fell in love with years ago. but I don’t want to just like Leave??#I do want to see how things play out bc I am still invested in these characters#and I would love to still be part of the fan community and connect with people over a mutual love for this thing#that has been important to me for years and has inspired me to create and learn new skills and make new friends!#but I also don’t just want to shut up and pretend I’m happy about things I am decidedly unhappy about lol#like it’s honestly surprising to me that a only a small minority of the fandom seems to feel the way I do?#and the majority are still super pumped and frustrated at the people who are complaining#and really. I don’t WANT to rain on anyone’s parade. I honestly don’t#I was part of the parade for years! I had the best time in the parade! I don’t want to ruin the good time!#so i try not to be too salty on main ? but i feel like I’m going a little crazy lmao! like I’m just one bitter little miser fhdjjd#i mean i guess it’s kind of a good thing that I moved blogs tbh lol#cause now when i whine only a fraction of the people have to be exposed to it 😂#but man i hate knowing that people might think of me as a salter#I mean it’s valid if people are trying to have fun and do not want to hear my complaining haha#but also do i automatically have to be a salter. are the only options support and defend ml 100% at all times or Be A Salter#or can there be a third category of certified ml lover that is just disappointed in recent events & disagrees with the new writing direction#is that too much nuance for tumblr lol#see maybe that’s why I miss carpisuns. she didn’t have to ask this question. she was only full of LOVE!#but therein lies the irony…like marinette I have made this choice out of love…for what the story once was…what is to become of me now…

"don't you just want to have fun" is so true about 911 fans...so many people just hate so many characters and so many things about the show...why are you watching!!
yeah 😭 at a certain point it’s just like, idk man. everything in real life sucks so monumentally why can’t we just watch tv together and have fun
#i really try to curate my online space so that i don’t have so see people being miserable and mean about shit that doesn’t matter#because it genuinely just saps all of my fun away but it’s really fucking difficult to avoid sometimes!!#OBVIOUSLY some shit deserves criticism. but it’s the inconsequential stuff sparking days weeks months long arguments and lashings#at some point it is going to be the thing that makes me delete my account lol#but for now i make ample use of filters and unfollowing when people get too tied up in the misery posting#anyways. sorry that post resonated w you#iinryer mailbox

sometimes i get the very strong urge to write a comes back ??? fic for bakugou but the more i think about it, the more i realize how emotionally taxing and honestly horrifying it would be.
you and bakugou spend a few years in that weird will-they-won't-they stage before you officially start seeing each other seriously, and then it takes some time to adjust to having a pro-hero for a partner — so it's not always easy. until the time goes by and you have a break up scare or two and things finally level out, and you figure out how to talk to each other and you fall into the beautifully warm comfort of just being together, in love.
and then he fucking dies. in a heart-explodey, blind-in-one-eye kind of way.
the two years that follow are just — time passing, like pages in a chapter you can't understand the words to. you know grief in a way you never could have comprehended before, you wonder what it's all for and how you'll go on. you're angry at him for sacrificing his stupid life and angry at the world for taking him from you, but you're so deeply, down to your bones, heartbroken over losing him.
and you're not the only one; more than any of his friends that you see, deku is the one who is there for you the most. calls you daily and pulls you out of bed, makes sure you eat because he knows that's what kacchan would want. lovingly flings out a few gruff insults that make you laugh until you're both crying in your kitchen. it means something, maybe, that you both can just mourn in the presence of one another, without judgement or care.
your relationship gets a little — dependent. not romantic, at least not for you, but it's like you need the other person for the bits of bakugou they hold that you don't. the memories and the laughs and the bad times as well as the good. the secrets katsuki would never tell you, and the tenderness izuku was never shown.
it never gets easier. every day is just another day. if you think about it for too long, it all comes crumbling down. you're almost having to disassociate through your life just to make it, and that's hard when the whole city mourns him, too. but you do it. every single day, even on the worst of them.
izuku calls you a little more than two years after, in the middle of the night.
sounding way too awake and out of breathe, though you don't think that's necessarily out of the ordinary, considering his profession. he's a very hyper-fixation kind of guy; you can only imagine what hobby he's picked up and also mastered in the last 48 hours.
he asks if he can come pick you up from your apartment because he "needs to show you something important" and you agree, even if it doesn't feel like it usually does, when the nights are long and you both need someone to talk to. this feels — urgent. a bit worrisome.
you don't know where he takes you, but he's quiet the whole way there. in an old sweater, hair mussed, bags under his eyes like he really hasn't slept in the last 48 hours.
("stupid flighty fucker," katsuki would say, sometimes, when the weight of the world was weighing too heavily on the number one hero's shoulders, and even if he would huff and puff and grit his teeth, you'd notice him checking his phone more often than usual. taking every phone call that came without hesitation.)
you almost want to tell izuku that, in the car, because that's what you do, that's how you've kept him alive between the two of you; kacchan would make a point to tell you that's not how generators work, in the shitty horror film you and deku go see, that kacchan wouldn't dare sit through.
("no, he would," you argue, solemn as the lights in the theater warm back to life, as it empties. "he would."
and after a long, heavy beat, izuku would agree. "yeah. he would.")
izuku brings you somewhere that's too clinical to be as quiet and as dark as it is: inside, the walls and floors are sterile with anti-septic but the lights are off, in every hallway. the only visibility comes from a small lamp that's in a lobby of sorts, and there is a small handful of people you don't know, at all, already there. waiting.
you say his name in a small, concerned question, and when he takes both his hands in yours, they're warm and too wide and sweaty. his eyes glow, but in a way you don't recognize. everything he says to you is — gibberish, a mish-mash of worry and half-sentences and all the warning bells are going off in your head.
"y-you can't freak out, okay? you have to—i can explain all this when...when the time is right."
"you said that you would give anything to have kacchan back, remember? you said—you would do anything."
"i know this sounds—i know how this sounds, okay? but nothing is impossible!"
"i just need you to trust me."
and up until now, you had no reason not to. but you're not sure when he slept last, or even when he ate last, or why he's muttering things about his quirk, how he and katsuki are connected somehow, in ways he's not able to explain.
or why you can faintly hear the steady beeping of a heart monitor just beyond the only closer door in this wing of the hospital.
#not me actually crying while writing this lmaooo#deku is ✨ delulu ✨ enough for the both of us kahfkaha#no bc the thing is that he comes back and it's the age old question of. what have we done.#but at what *cost*#in my anime world logic for this deku does something something with all for one to bring him back — along with other unspecified stuff — an#bakugou comes back with deku's memories of the last two years 👀#and he can FEEL how miserable deku was without him 🥺 how bad deku felt for YOU 🥺#how weirdly close the two of you got 🤔#does he come back wrong ????? or does bringing him back make YOU wrong ??? 🥺#okay bye for real for real we've been driving all day bye bye#✿ willow writes#✿ thoughts: bakugou

i wrote this as a joke because I wanted to strangle a guy watching tiktoks without headphones on the bus, but im genuinely disturbed that we've gotten to a point where convenience comes first. and it depresses me even more that its used to justify and monetize greed
#like we have so many ways of doing things that could help us in the long run but because we're told it requires more work we just cant#its too resource intensive. or maybe its too much to maintain. we have to overlook benefits so money can go into more important things#we teach each other to do things a certain way so it works for everyone but who was it convenient for first? what abt who it might hurt?#i have to wonder if the rules our current system uses is worth listening to or following if it doesnt have our best interests in mind. u an#me and the ppl around us.. would we be better off if i ate my meals knowing the person who grew it wanted to feed others the way they could#feed themselves? and that isnt to say we're going to be happy doing it but i guess satisfied that its helping someone instead of quietly#accepting that itll eventually go in the dumpster behind a grocery store because it stopped looking appetizing or it wasnt on sale anymore#what about building homes so we can shelter each other? what if we were satisfied with what we did because we knew it would be paid back#with kindness? isnt that what we evolved to do?? heal each others bones and tell stories and help each other??#why dont houses come with solar panels or generators unless we find a way to make people pay to use the sun? why is our pooled money used#to fund genocides instead of education and hospitals? whose interests and convenience came first when we started this??#i wont pretend to know the answer because i dont. but we all know we're miserable and im sorry to say that i cant see myself fighting#for a world that wont fight for me too. why do we work if we cant live from it?? why did they stop us from plucking more teeth from our#bosses until they could build more walls around themselves and then go back to underpaying us??#im so tired. i cant even imagine making it to age 70#yapping#vent

Guys I just found an account that is dedicated to being anti percabeth and anti annabeth and only making content about that
I’m so happy I don’t feel so much hatred towards something fictional that I make a whole account to be negative about that thing instead of just finding things I do like and being positive about those
#I can’t help but sometimes feel superior than the antis for it#because unlike them I revel in things that make me happy and not things that make me angry or sad#sorry anti percabeths but you’ll never be better#antis in general will never be better#better than what?#just better in general#especially when it’s anti something that people are known to enjoy#you don’t have to love it but does constantly talking about things that you hate not make you miserable?#because a whole account?#really?#anyway another thing I like is the block button#annabeth chase#percy jackson#anti annabeth antis#read that tag again before coming at me for using the anti annabeth tag#anti percabeth antis#pjo#percy jackson and the olympians#heroes of olympus#hoo#percabeth#pjo rant#not really but kinda#pjo opinions#pro percabeth#pro annabeth chase#spread positivity#not negativity when it’s simply about an opinion not an actual issue

It is officially tcoaal's birthday today
This game has actually become so important to me it came out at a time where I was deeply miserable and lonely all the time
And now I get to look back and see how much my situation has actually improved and a lot of it can be traced back to the friends and the art I made thanks to this game
Good incest game go vroom
Maybe I will try to finish colouring something or upload a fic to celebrate the occasion
#sadly i cant really write anything new and finish the thing I'm making so it would be uploading something i already wrote to ao3#my situation is actually better than it used to be by literally every metric possible of the word i just been miserable the past few days#im writing all of this with like 2 hours of sleep in me so if it makes no sense it makes no sense sorry#soleil shut up#the coffin of andy and leyley#happy basday tcoaal

Charbee Prompts Part 7
(im going to number these now)
What if Bee never left the garage?
What if Charlie decided to not go to work
What if Charlie watched over Bee after the police chase?
Bee was never found. After a year of no results, the government got impatient and killed the Shatter and Dropkick and destroyed any trace of their presence, not even daring to use their technology out of fear of the Soviets getting their hands on them. The Autobots still arrive on Earth but Bee was missing, unable to be contacted and traced.
For the past seven years, Charlie and Bee were inseparable. Charlie didn’t want Bee to be cooped up all his life so after she went to trade school for auto mechanics, she decided to spend the next few years traveling the world with her best friend, taking side jobs as a mechanic.
While visiting a few countries in Europe, Bee sees the beacon from the transwarp key. Realizing that only Bee could see it, the two hopes that there are other people like him. Bee searches for any sign of the transwarp key and follows the sign to Peru. They look around and detects Cybertronian activity on two terribly disguised humans, Elena and Noah, sneaking through a parade and into an underground temple. Charlie follows them into the cave which the Autobots take notice.
After Noah and Elena finds the key missing, Charlie accidentally reveals herself and is held at gunpoint. Noah tells Mirage that someone followed them so Charlie runs away. Noah and Elena chase after her before all three being cornered by Primal. Mirage arrives, aiming his blaster at Primal and Charlie, who realizes that there’s more robots like Bee. When Mirage gets tackled, Bee comes rushing in to defend Charlie.
The rest of the Autobots arrive, overjoyed and shocked to see Bee alive but Bee doesn’t recognize them. Arcee scans Bee, realizing that he has no memory. Optimus assures Bee that they will come to no harm to Charlie and after some convincing, he alongside the Maximals stand down. Although, Bee is wary about the Autobots.
The bots reveal that Bee was a scout named B-127 and that their species in a middle of a war. Prime expects Bee to come back but Bee doesn’t want to leave, wanting to stay with Charlie. It starts tension that leads to an arguement that Charlie tries to calm down. Optimus, in his rage, blames Charlie which leads to Bee accidentally activating his gun out of protection and nearly shooting Prime. In his shock and fear, Bee storms away.
Bee apologizes to Charlie who knows that he didn’t mean to put her in danger. He feels a bit uncomfortable, wanting to go back to the status quo. Charlie says that Bee has to leave because he has people who needs him even though Bee doesn’t want to. Neither does Charlie but she doesn’t say anything.
The Terrorcons then attack and Bee helps fight them while the humans run away. Charlie sees Noah trying to destroy the key but she tries to convince him not to and confesses that she loves Bee so much that she wants him to return home. Optimus and Noah hears this and Noah changes his mind. Charlie and Elena gets captured by Airazor but while Elena gets dropped, Charlie is taken away.
Bee is furious but doesn’t want to fight, having no collective memory on how to. Optimus is understanding and allows him to sit out so they can save Charlie.
The usual fight happens. Scourge holds Charlie captive and Mirage saves her, telling her to run through the vents Noah and Elena are using. When Noah is caught, Charlie tries to protect him, leading to Mirage sacrificing himself for both of them. Mirage turns into a suit for Noah and gives Charlie a blaster to defend Elena with.
Bee is back with the natives and debates to go. He doesn’t want to be in a war but remembers Charlie’s words and at the same time, the Energon blast erupts, giving Bee his memories again. Bee arrives at the fight and the movie ends as usual.
Bee and Charlie both prepare to part ways, hugging and confessing, until Optimus says that the Charlie can help Noah rebuild Mirage, allowing her to stay a little bit longer.
#transformers#transformers rise of the beasts#bumblebee#charlie watson#noah diaz#charbee#rise of the beasts#rotb#transformers rotb#bumblebee 2018#charbee bad mood rambles#pls ignore the tags#this is just me ranting#im sorry#i hate how everyone in my family is miserable#i hate how everyone is dissensitized to their trauma#it should be a good thing but it hurts knowing you’re so used to pain that you can’t feel it anymore#i hate how i have a prosperous life but it’s not a good one#i want my family to be happy#so why does it feel like everyone makes it their mission to make everyone miserable#i hate it here#i feel useless#im the privileged one and i hate it#im a bully and i want to stop#my existence only hurts people#i can be as nice as much as i want and i still can’t do anything#my funeral will be only filled with people i have lied to#but im not strong enough to die#not yet

started watching A Murder At The End of the World and i'm only like 4 minutes in rn but oh my fucking god, they already did the impossible, they made synthesizing a literal audience not only not annoying but actually intriguing and effective. holy shit.
#james talks#james watches stuff#a murder at the end of the world#if you're new here or have never consumed any media: synthesizing a literal audience is one of the most annoying things anything can do#it is at best distracting and at worst condescending and grating bc it assumes and assigns audience reactions and interpretations#and it also REEKS of a lack of faith in the material itself to be able to speak for itself#most of the time it's done for no real purpose and the few times it has a narrative purpose it's done awfully#even a movie i ADORE like SCREAM (1996) was not immune to this.#the one single flaw in that movie to me is Kenny repeating the 'behind you' joke. not only is it not funny the second time but it's—#synthesizing the audience by making the characters an audience to the same movie as us and telling us how we should be reacting.#another movie that tries to do this and fails miserably is like Halloween: Resurrection which tries to make some commentary—#on media as exploitative entertainment and the audience as willing participants and equally culpable in the continuation of trauma but the—#execution of it is absolutely horrible and that's even beyond how bad the rest of the movie is.#every time the characters are watching the same media or there's an actual audience in the media it's literally never gone well—#at least as far as i have experienced. but this is the first time a literal audience in anything has actually worked bc it's like—#right in the opening and it's the audience actually getting invested in the story so THAT audience responding the same way actually WORKS#actually borderline genius tbh

played mouthwashing... good game
#i have many thoughts. maybe i will write them out eventually but im too eepy rn#ive been meaning to play how fish is made for so long. i think i'll finally do that now lmao#reminded me of indika not storywise but just the effective use of the Game Medium#also probably hit even more bc ive been having a lot of thoughts lately about the way some people approach art#solely as this thing that is supposed to revolve around them and make them Happy#who then get angry when it makes them feel Big Emotions and/or doesn't perfectly 'represent' their experiences#part of enjoying art is looking at it critically. it's experiencing new perspectives. it's feeling big emotions both positive and negative#and sitting with those emotions and then asking ourselves Why the artist has done this#sometimes the point is to make you miserable and that doesn't automatically make it bad#anyways. good game

FFXIVWrite2024 Prompt 7 - Morsel
relationship: Corisande Ymir/Y'shtola Rhul rating: Mature (sexual content) | word count: 250 words no summary because it's 250 words 😅
Y’shtola cradles Corisande’s hips between her knees, and seeks with her hands what she cannot quite see. The long, smooth stretch of their torso, arched beneath her palms. The valley of their chest, the dips and rises across the narrow plains that stretch from shoulder to shoulder. The soft hands she guides overhead, crossing them at the wrist in simple instruction. Beneath her, their hips shift in fervent acquiescence.
The room swells with heat, the warm Tuliyollal air pressing in on them in the open room of the inn. Y’shtola’s hands retrace their path down to the curve of Corisande’s hip, and lower—low enough to draw the soft, sweet sound from Corisande’s lips that stokes the flame low in her belly.
When she brings her hands above their waist, the only sign of Corisande’s protest is the quiver of her thighs below Y’shtola’s. Y’shtola smiles, and her hands glide up to the inked flowers that bloom beneath their breasts, following the vining path that she can only see in her memory. She kisses her at the heart of the tattoo, where the vines join, the salt of her skin on her lips.
Lips still pressed to skin, Y’shtola cups Corisande’s breast, the weight held perfectly within her hand. She kneads, thumb rolling across skin until she guides the peak between her lips, and Corisande arches slightly further as Y’shtola allows the first taste of the evening to linger on her tongue, only a morsel of what is to come.
#ffxivwrite2024#ffxivwrite#kels writes#i said i wasnt going to do this but sometimes you are cleaning the bathroom feeling v miserable about yourself and the only#thing you can do to make yourself feel better is let your oc be fondled by her wife.#i tried v hard not to use the word nipple here bc i felt like it ruined the vibe and tongue was also on thin ice.#but i think thats just me being repressed LMAO. okay#enjoy hopefully <3

American tasked with making an analogy: "Is like highway"
#this isn't even hypothetical; this me watching something and being like 'this analogy is so fucking american'#though if he were a true american he'd have made it about burgers#find a way to make the electrical conductivity of various materials into a burger metaphor#as burgers are objectively superior to highways#can I eat highway? no#can I eat burger? not only yes; but I can eat so many different styles of burger#anyway; joking aside man I wish I had good burgers; if I were rich that's what I'd eat on the grounds it's filling and I can always eat one#pasta I'll end up getting tired of eating before I'm done; like I'm hungry still; but eating is miserable#not so with the humble burger#I'd really like to learn how to make a good burger; cause I can tell in this house it has to be me... no one else is neurotic enough#like I have exacting standards when it comes to burgers (which aren't even that high; just... higher)#and then I also want to make an arsenal of toppings I'm ready to use#your classic burger; your teriyaki and pineapple; bbq (with crispy fried onions if I can manage that); etc#cause the best thing about a burger is that it's a vessel for flavor; not unlike chips#the same burger can have so many different tastes depending on how you dress it up#anyway; foolish american man; making highway analogies instead of burger analogies#I can literally always go for a burger... I just rarely can afford a luxury like that
