I was trying to figure out ideas for a zine (I guess me, CL, P2, and Wolf make them now?) but, uh, just kinda ended up drawing myself... whoops.
#other post#-ct#tailstrokes#i guess?#no i'm not a parker haha#i feel like my style differs a tiny bit from wolf which is... sort od validating in a way?#you know one of the kids called#god i almost said 'us'#i'm NOT a white collar anymore#i mean i kept the work clothes but that's cause i think they're kinda hot#but anyway the kid called them (fuck i wrote us there instinctively) scientists first and the others nearly agreed to use that for them#that'd have been weird#they (...we?) are definitely NOT scientists#not we im not that anymore! fuck!#THE POINT is that im not sure theres really anything that encompasses what i used to do#maybe observer watcher witness#anyway it doesnt matter now#god i really feel i was there decades ago its what i said to wolf when they first made contact and asked but#if you asked me for memories for a feeling of connection to specific things to describe i couldnt i cant#i just feel like i was there and i was ... doing my former job#other people here got to be the ones in things good and bad and evil alike#me and the rest we didnt#we just did our jobs#we werent people#or like cl said didnt know we were/are#im making myself sad#going to shut up now

i have a lot of feelings about the pokemon leaks. the most prominent one however is that i love this creature. evolotto/piper/whatever it is
milk creature. useless animal. weird fetus. only 1 foot tall. it doesnt even have ears or a mouth. noone knows how its alive. you wouldve had to gamble on if it would even evolve into something good. probably has the texture of a cross between a stress ball and tofu. it would probably make a loud smack against a wall and flip down the wall slowly. i love you my strange creature
#pokemon#pokemon gigaleak#beta pokemon#i hope the people whos personal information was leaked are ok though#i love seeing all this beta content as much as the next guy#but i wish employees werent doxxed along with it#at the very least we got to look at milk creature...#evolotto

So I met Jessica Madsen (Bridgerton's Cressida Cowper) on the weekend and she is now one of my favourite people 🥹
Got her autograph, sat in on her panel, and thanks to encouragement from a new friend I also went along to a special lil event and got to chat with Jess over dinner for 2 hours 🫠 It was her, Sam Phillips (who plays Lord Debling and is also a joy of a human) me and 7 other lovely folk.
They were both really relaxed and chatted openly about the show - both love the change to Michaela and that there will be more queer rep. They asked which order of Bridgerton siblings we thought the show would be going with and seemed really amused at our guesses (I dont know if they even know what the order is themselves, they were playing very coy about it 😅).
A highlight of the night tho was early on I mentioned that I had to drive 2 hours to get home afterwards, and didn't think she even heard me. But then when she was leaving she touched my shoulder and told me "drive safe!" And I just 🫠 - so sweet she remembered 😭
Anyway, I am now forever a Cressida defender, my girl can do no wrong and deserves the world
#like it was a full 2 hours so there was SO much said#cant repeat all of it#and wont repeat a few things cos 👀#but it was amazing and i love her#oh i asked about the ice cream scene#tho i think other people did at the con too but nice to hear about it directly lol#she just loves Cressida so very much#and Sam is so invested in the show and Debling too#he has a whole back story for him#hes a truly lovely person too#hope he comes back next season#and i hope jess comes back for another con!#this was her first ever i hope she had a good time#i think she did#oh i dont have any photos from the dinner cos we werent allowed#but there was a group photo taken we just havent gotten it yet#i need some proof i didnt imagine it 😂😂#cressida cowper

“i guess so” was so insane of buck to say. what do you mean you guess so. there was no reason to respond like that. why not just say yeah. YEAH. YOUR ATTENTION. what was the point of i guess so. he looks soooo relieved to have an answer for his feelings but he’s saying i guess so. girl what. what! you’re guessing? you still don’t know for sure? he’s standing in front of you and you still can’t conjure up an emphatic yes? you’re acting in ways so strange your sister is baffled? you don’t even know why your father figure would approve of your relationship? you don’t know what you’re ready for? you don’t know why you lied to your best friend or why you hurt him? you’re just not certain of anything? “i guess so” WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY KNOW!!!
#feel like we get lost in the sauce on here im sorry. like i need to not even be entertaining the insane interpretations from people w PDDS#(post destiel derangement syndrome) who are just happy to have a canon ship to be into. like theyre soooo right the show is not subtle.#buck guesses that he wanted his attention all along and he’s freaking out over lying to eddie and maddie is baffled by him and tommy didnt#dress up when buck overcompensated again and made a grand gesture and hes nice enough to show up to the wedding and kiss him but buck#doesnt even talk about him and we dont need to see buck talking about him and he’s just kind of weird and snarky and they’re not having#actual conversations about anything important whatsoever and hes not even there for important moments#and hen and karen werent impressed by his answer to them. cool! i see it……#*#911 txt

havent watched/read dungeon meshi yet but im starting to understand via tumblr post that it's not a story where normal people eventually do profane things out of desperation but is in fact a story where a handful of freaks who are desperate to do some truly unnatural things give in as soon as they're given the opportunity. jury is still out over whether marcille and falin kiss though
#based off the contextless post where chilchuk tim says something about not touching demihumans.#hey. yyou had to specifically say as a group you werent gonna eat people? this was an argument that got floated that early?#nothing but support for laios but . truly the sort of guy to want to bring up the cannibalism convo the second the car is running low on ga#like there's a convenience store 1 mile from here. dont eat me. we can go buy a granola bar. holy shit

I know this is just a silly bad quality random screencap of a screencap that I found on facebook lol, BUT it's a succinct enough image to easily describe the concept in a quick/accessible way hopefully :
-
(and of course, feel free to elaborate in tags, etc.! (especially elaborating about other senses as well.. can you "hear" in your mind just as well as you can "see"? taste? etc.) It's an interesting topic to me, as someone who's like a 4.5 at MOST lol. I'm curious what option will be the most common :0c )
#tumblr polls#hrmm... a little poll perhaps.. about a subject I find interesting.. since this image came across my facebook today#still really not feeling that well. no longer shaking violently and such but I still feel weird and weak much more than usual#They did say my markers for like infection or inflammation were elevated but that they werent sure of the cause so hopefully#it's nothing too serious. they did also say a lot of different things can cause that thing to be higher than normal but didn't go into spec#fics of what. maybe some of them are relatively benign or something. I still havent felt much back to normal since#I got really sick that one time though. I feel fine on and off but then little bouts of feeling weird and sick happen. hrmmm#ANYWAY.. looking for small ways to be productive. such as little doodles on evil ipad or editing game videos#or posting polls or cat pictures or some other like not very labor intensive things#I WISH I COULD FOCUS on writing HHRGGhh... I need to finish my game.. it would be so freeing.. a project that's been looming#over my head for like 5 years even though througouht that 5yrs I've probably spent a total of 3 months working on it lo.. ANYWAY#I still partially really cannot beleive that people CAN see stuff in their heads. There's always part of me that's thinking like. well mayb#e everyone DOES see the same exact thing but we just describe/conceptualize it so differently that we think we're talking about#different things when we're really not. But I have been assured by people I've talked to about it that they can GENUINELY really see#stuff in their heads like as vivid as an actual picture in real life or something. And the other senses are neat too. Like for exmaple I#can hear in my head much better than I can see imagery. I still CANNOT hear vividly like as if I were listening to actual music out loud..#but I think it's developed more than my sight. AND interesting how this varies the creative process. a friend I was talking to on the phone#said they write by literally just watching stuff play before them like a movie. where my process is COMPLETELY different. AND that affects#the content/what details we focus on as well as our individual styles of writing have differences that can be traced back to that.. hrmm

Oh Sklonda's righteous fury hits so hard, as a kid who WAS taken advantage of in many ways by her friends when she was in school, and whose mom tried to tell her they were being unkind and who didn't believe her until she got kinder friends
#christina liveblogs#for me it was middle school so i know we've all grown up#i wish those people nothing but the best in life#but absolutely time and again my generosity was taken advantage of#i got teased for my naivety#my mom loaned a friend $20 when she said she lost it as we were driven to the movies#she found her cash and instead of giving my mom her $20 back we went to the mall with $40#i sat alone at a friend's house while they went to smoke weed in the garage bc i was Very much not the stoner i am now#and when we got to high school and i made friends with kids from my theater class#THEATER KIDS!!!#my middle school emo friends got upset bc i was being 'normal now'#they were not always good friends to me#and i was just like riz insisting it was fine i loved them they werent doing anything wrong#sklonda is right to be pissed and i love her for it#fhjy#fhjy spoilers#d20 spoilers#d20#fantasy high#sklonda gukgak#riz gukgak

#old people on my mind this morning#specifically the post-canon clarity of “ah shit we all really beefed it didnt we”#ford and lucy feel bad for obvious reasons#bob feels awful about how he's let himself go and very nearly ended up like his mother#cassie and compton shut everyone out and werent there for each other when they needed to be#otto mislabeled helmut's brain#and helmut “left” bob and threw him into a depressive alcoholic spiral#obviously that wasn't on purpose and i'm sure bob doesnt blame helmut for that#but boy howdy theyre all gonna have a lot of baggage about it!#psychonauts 2

Okay challenge mode. You are a therapist and Eridan Ampora from Homestuck has just walked right out of his intro page into your office. How do you fix him?
put him and karkat in a room with a pile of stuff and tell them they can't leave until they've jumped into it and talked about their feelings
#realtalk therapy doesnt work unless the person getting the therapy puts in the effort to make it work#eridan starts the comic in complete and utter denial that he's in need of help#so there's really nothing i nor any stranger could do about that#HOWEVER he does talk to karkat often about his feelings (and vice versa) and#the reason they didnt hang out during the game seems to be#1) they were on separate teams and didnt realize the teams were the same team until later on#2) by then it was too late and eridan had aggro'd all his angels#3) gamzee was deliberately keeping eridan away from karkat and vice versa (likely bc gamzee had a palecrush on kk)#4) karkat was too busy falling victim to his own insecurities abt being a leader to pay attention to his actual friendships#4a) eg. it shouldve been the time player doing the frog hunt with kanaya & not the blood player#like im not saying moirallegiance with karkat would have fixed all of eridans problems but i am saying#what eridan really needed was a friend who took his problems seriously and could see past his bullshitting#and karkat already WAS that friend - they just never hung out#so by the time the meteor rolls around eridan has spent WEEKS feeling abandoned anxious and alone on his death planet#and karkat has gotten used to not thinking about eridan too much#so karkat - who is basically eridans only actual friend at that point - isnt able to get through to him & eridan snaps#like the thing about sburb/homestuck is that it really stresses the importance of friendship and working together#letting each other help with each others' problems#thats why the smallest viable game is still two people by necessity#so when we see things like gamzee snapping or eridan snapping or vriska snapping#as much as these are the 'fault' of the person snapping they also need to be viewed as comprehensive team failures#the people who should have spent the game together didnt and the people who shouldnt have spent the game together did#vriska was allowed to bully tf outta tavros and nobody intervened#eridan was left all alone and nobody tried to help him#and everybody was mean to gamzee and nobody tried to connect with him#and you know whose job it is to make sure the right people are hanging out together? the blood player#and unfortunately our blood player was so insecure that he was doing jobs that werent his to do#im not saying pale erikar would fix homestuck but i am saying pale erikar is a symptom of things being fixed in homestuck

hey guys do we realize that the main difference betwen how kai and midori developed is that kai was given the chance to learn what normal life and love and family was like by working with chidouins while midori was kept under asunaros thumb all his life. do we realize that just a few changes could have kai acting just as cruel and merciless as midori. do we realize that midori is a victim of asunaro too, and though that doesn't excuse his actions it does make them more tragic. do we realize this or are we all being serious when we say midori is the only character who isn't worth redemption.
#77ngiez speaks#yttd#sou hiyori#yttd midori#midori yttd#you can also see parts of this with fake hinako too#how she used to be just as cold and cruel and she just barely began softening uo when being shown care by the dummies#also it was physically painful to have to call sou 'midori' but thats what everyone in the fandom calls him so. sighs. sacrifices had to be#i am sou hiyori apologist numero uno i think he is a tragic character and a victim of his situation#i dont think that excuses his actions or behaviors but i also think we as a fandom must all keep in mind that he was raised in A LITERAL#DEATH CULT#people call it creepy when sou says he wished he coulda killed shin himself but people just call it sweet and tragic when sei asked kai to#kill him himself#as if they werent both the same sentiment that came from the same place#ahem. clears my throat#i think ppl should be a little nicer to sou. hes just a silly guy#and believe me i have reason to hate his guts [not elaborating but my beef with him is personal /srs]#but he is in fact my blorbo#if u guys can forgive miley safalin ranger and shin#surely you can forgive sou. just a smidgin#posts i made bcs i got mad abt ppl saying 'MIDORI CANT BE A GREENBLING HES TOO EVIL'#as if those same ppl dont eat up kai and sara siblingisms#OK I NEED TO SHUT UP NOW. thank u to anybody who read these tags in full

could you imagine how good spirit animals would be if it wasn't written as a children's series
#thats the country that is bad and full of bad people that deserve to be mistreated and suffer a horrible disease that is easily curable -#- that the rest of the world has access to because a long time ago they started a war#i feel like bc they were kids books they couldnt really touch on the horrors of war#or how vile The Many were#it could also explore the greencloaks more in the way that they werent good guys. in the slightest#it would have so much more nuance#GOD IMAGINE IMAGINE IMAGINE#IT COULD BE SO SO SO GOOD#i need someone to write the books in a grittier way.#i mean obviously they touched on the fact that these kids were fighting in wars at 11 years old#and that stetriol was justified in rising up#and shane is already a really complex character but we never really got to see the like super gritty side only glimpses in the book of shan#spirit animals books#spirit animals series#and the fucking bile???? thats a terrifying concept that didnt get treated as seriously as it shouldve i think#especially how the fact it can turn regular animals into brutish killing machines was mentioned only once or twice#the amount of proper angst you can explore in the main four as well holy shit

god damn i do not post often but can i talk about intentionality for a second?? one second please
i'm gonna be talking about bg3 but this really applies to any fandom space. people will, surface-level, agree that a Black character is not getting enough content compared to their white counterparts because it's. obvious . take wyll, who is several hours behind on voiced lines compared to other origins despite being one of the original five (before they added karlach and whiteified her too but that's another post). it's hard to deny cold hard facts
but then instead of engaging in content that uplifts Black characters and creators, they'll go right back to pumping out more and more content of just their white faves. on its own, it's not actively harmful, but here's what the implication is, whether they acknowledge it or not: yes wyll has less in-game content, yes his writing didn't get the attention it deserved, therefore i don't like him as much. it only perpetuates wyll's lack of content by contributing to his sidelining in fandom spaces
what i would love for fans who claim to be allies to do is to step out of the comfort zone of their initial favorites (which can, in fact, be biased!) and start pursuing content centering Black characters with intentionality. like all things, anti-racism (actively pushing back against racism rather than simply "Not Being Racist") takes practice and effort. you can't really agree with us that wyll needs more content, then in the same breath say that it's because of that that he's not interesting to you . the point was right in front of you doing a jig and you still missed it
#bg3#wyll#wyll ravengard#this isnt even including people who didnt notice that wyll had less content in the first place#which is. a very damning admission. so you werent paying Any attention to him...? at all....? its obvious even on a first playthrough tf#i had to physically stop myself from saying specific white boy names in the main post bc i knew it would just be fanning the flames#and thats not productive. as much as i hate to admit it.#anyway we all know why halsin is so much more popular than wyll. the white man with as much personality as a cardboard cutout#ITS HARD TO APPRECIATE HIM WHEN HES 1) boring and 2) part of the reason wyll got less content bc adding him meant less time for the others#if people start things in the replies im deleting this post if im being honest. this needed to be said but#i am not in the habit of arguing with strangers on the internet and i am not starting now#tyto speaks#man i didnt even mention how white side characters with maybe 5 min total of screentime get so much fan content .#while wyll a whole ORIGIN character gets left out of party art and either infantilized or villianized beyond the point of recognition

thinking about the (probably) unintentional symbolism of the master sword's state often reflecting link's in the botw trilogy, swords being frequently described as an extension of yourself in popular media, the master sword as an extension of link and link an extension of it. he really is a living weapon if you think about it too hard
#botw#the legend of zelda#breath of the wild#i think about this WAY too much for my own good#botw link always wins the link most dehumanized by the narrative award#the 2d links dont have a lot of character yeah but at least they werent treated like a tool#ww/oot/tp/ss obviously toy with this idea and go 'hey this is actually kind of bad?' but botw is like 'lol'#'we're going to briefly criticize our own metanarrative and then actively say that the people suffering from it were actually in the wrong'#i say this as someone is has been obsessed with botw for the past...shit. like since it came out#my hyperfixation just causes me to criticize the media i like more because i literally eat it#and yet: we stay silly

She just wanted a friend :(
#the amazing digital circus#tadc#pomni#gummigoo#tadc spoilers#the amazing digital circus spoilers#josh art tag#okay but this ep was really interesting in the subtle ways it showed that pomni didnt think of the others as friends#like i suppose it shouldve been obvious#but i think myself and many other members of the fandom knew from the pilot that they would end up friends and we realized the potential#and then combined with the time between eps#i kinda forgot that they werent really friends#pomni actually spent most of the pilot separated from them in exit maze hell#and was Going Thru It the rest of the time#but this eps pomni dynamics with the rest were super interesting#esp how she wasnt really receptive to ragathas friendliness#and then the ending!! how a funeral of all things gave her comfort and hope!#i think that showed her that these truly are real people#not just like part of this weird digitap hell like caine#and that even if she abstracts she will be remembered#and people will be sad about what happened to her and mourn her#the scene of everyones (minus jax's) hands grabbing her as she falls makes me so emotional 🥺
