video games +Â âwhat it means to beâ
#soma game#night in the woods#what remains of edith finch#gamingedit#dailyvideogames#soma#nitw#wroef#~soma#~nitw#~wroef#~#i love. these games. so much.#i cried at every single one of these moments#it's so rare to find a game (much less multiple) that echo some of the most private thoughts you've had since you were a kid#and it's amazing that i found each of them at such pivotal moments in my life#reminders that no matter what... no matter how much i may hurt... i never want to take life for granted#the opportunity to feel and perceive and be is just unspeakably precious#:')))

the pivotal points in batâs past đ€
kuukou
age ????- his best friend moved away
age 14: attained a higher level of asceticism than his father, met hitoya who helped clear an assault charge on some good will that went awry
age 15: left home to flex his talent, got humbled quick lol but met ichiro and vowed to grow stronger
jyushi:
age ???? (presumably 6)- received amanda from his grandmother
age 13- started middle school where he âbefriendsâ iyogi
age 14- has been a victim of bullying for a year and the bullying escalated to the point his grandmother was killed. met hitoya who made sure iyogi ainât seeing the light ever again and a little later helped jyushi find the will to keep living
hitoya
age 14- loses his brother
age 23- upon receiving a tip, he decided to change majors from being a doctor to a lawyer in order to jail the guy that bullied his brother. broke up with jakurai after a disagreement
age 31- meets kuukou and jyushi for the first time and we see the fruits of his lawyer efforts
#vee queued to fill the void#i was thinking about how to define kuukouâs periods thru his jackets again lol and while thinking about that earliest dragon sukajan#decided to see bat all had three pivotal moments in their lives that led to the present lol#itâs something i like to think all the characters have but i havenât put much thought into lol#(âi also think the leaders have four points but thatâs not what this is about lol)#*head in hands* but i desperately want to talk about kuukouâs clothes and the eras of his life it represents lol#i canât remember if i actually did that yet or not (surely i didnât think of the entire post just to not make it lmaoâŠâŠâŠ)#but i wouldnât be surprised if the dragon and the darker colours were very symbolic of kuukouâs violence#and that earliest sukajan we see him with is a scene thatâs just the tip of the iceberg lol#ichiro âlostâ his parents (esp his mom) around that age it looks like and nemu lost her parents (her mom the actual parent) at 7#so my guess is that he was 7 when whatever went down with mama harai for the sake of parallels lol#bat all have important events at the age of 14 so coincidental stuff like that are a thing lol#itâs by that logic i think jyushi was 6 when he received amanda lol jyushi and kuukou have pivotal moments in the same year#but just have their age gap#but in reality lmao jyushi was nervous about starting school hence the gift#and you start elementary school in jp at 6 LOL#jyushiâs bday being so early in the school year makes it a little difficult to gauge how long heâd been bullied for#but iâll trust hypmic means he rly did get bullied for a year by his intro chapter lol

pivotal jancy moment
#jancy#jonathan x nancy#jonathan byers#nancy wheeler#pivotal to their individual development#pivotal to their relationship#pivotal to the show and the larger narrative#pivotal to my life#pivotal to our culture as a whole#you get the point#lol#i also love how you can tell they took a while to shoot this scene#look at the lighting differences between the first two gifs and the rest#i swear it's not my coloring#they're so much more muted (?) suggesting they were shot earlier in the day or on a different day

daily pivot no9... whuh?
#TUMBLR USER PIKESPENDRAGON67 IF THIS REACHES YOU LISTEN UP#the sumi art#pivot arnancy#re:zero#tales of the abyss#jade curtiss#okay now tbat i put the tags. everyone gather around for a story time in tags. cause its gonna be like one of those only on tumblr stories#dear pikespendragon67#you once rbd one of my daily pivots and tagged it with jade#now i may have ruined your day to rb your rb and say ermm thats actually not jade#but hear me out you may have changed my lifes trajectory forever#after that case i looked up jade on google and i was like huh i can see how you mixed em up. also hes kinda hot#so i went to his wiki as you do and read about him. and he seems so similar to pivot to worrying degrees#pivot also seemed extremely similar to another fav of mine aka christo from d5 and they were all so copy pastes of each other atp#so now i came up with my schizo mental theory that theyre all the same guy reincarnated in different universes.#and picked up tales of rhe abyss. and im havjng fun with it too. this is insane#only on tumblr someone will wrongly tag ur doodle post and change ur life forever for the better (probably)#ps i love jade so muhc now and i will probablydraw him as well thank you dear tiumblr user

finished hera & started lady macbeth and we have got to start blaming women for shit again for real
#this is a joke. but.#if i have to read one more retelling~ thatâs just#âbut what if the woman was ASSAULTED ALL THE TIME and had NO AGENCY so everything bad she did was JUSTIFIED or a LIE???â please stop#when youâre actively taking agency away from women written and portrayed in deeply patriachal cultures youâre not giving them a voice#youre taking the voice they had away.#women worked around and within the patriarchy while having feelings and ambitions and wants and dreams and flaws and virtues forever.#without the necessity of âbut what if the MAN in her life was just SUPER EVIL and NOT NUANCED and she was just ASSAULTEDâ#what if no women wanted anything but SAFETY ever what if they were never power hungry or jealous or predatory ever themselves?#yes circe did this too if i have to see one more person say âoh except circeâ i will scream.#circe is literally like. the worst offender here.#pivoting back though sorry but it also all feels very bioessentialist PRESUMABLY without meaning to but âoh men are just inherently evil#with no nuance. nuance is for women and by nuance we mean was just super oppressed and wrongedâ is uh haha actually terfy as fuck#good ol lady macunsexmeherebeth who definitely didnât plot the whole thing to begin with for sure needs to be Given a Voice#i havenât finished this one yet btw. i like this authorâs work on the whole i just think this one is a swing and a miss because like.#this is not a woman who didnât do anything and who didnât have a voice.#if you want to show us her perspective in terms of her psychology and her inner workings and how she got to this place excellent wonderful#but not when the answer is just âbut actually nothing was her fault ever!!!!!!â like. lol let her want that crown for reasons that arenât#my husband is abusive.#like oh my god.#same with hera youâre gonna go with the ONE tradition where she didnât want to marry zeus#and all her rage is just about Injustice and the Patrairchy and not actual envy. okay.#she & zeus were an og most toxic couple of all time but they WERE in virtually all tradition a couple still who had times of reconciliation#and attachment.#like you know. actual toxic and abusive relationships do.#also it completely erased rhea who was actually the character whose story this more closely resembled#(warrior goddess with flop husband she finally schemes against)#instead she just. uh. went away oh no heraâs so afraid of being weak like mama she must break the cycle.#like okay this is the story you want to tell stop superimposing it on mythical entities from thousands of years ago then.#justice4rhea.#okay sorry. end rant.

Hate having adhd went to go work on my fallout modpack, got distracted while going to disable the steam overlay, ended up in the points shop, went to go edit my profile, decided to change my pfp, found a buried folder I forgot existed, found some old Veneer art I forgot existed, spent 45 minutes looking at all the old photos, STILL HAVE NOT TOGGLED ONE SIMPLE OPTION THAT SHOULD'VE TAKEN 30 SECONDS AT MOST
#I'm shocked I have these drawings scanned on my pc I don't remember doing that I must've done it before I left in case my mom threw all my#Art out again#Anyway at age 12 I was writing a better '3 merpeople go on land to find a 4th one that has been disguised as a human all his life' story#Than Ma/ko Merm/aids EVER did so uh. Take that Jonathan#God it sucks so bad that kid me would've LOVED MM if it just DIDN'T HAVE THE STUPID GENDER WAR BULLSHIT#Literally the entire first and second season is just. So fucking stupid. I wrote a God damn essay about how they fumbled Erik's story SO BAD#I don't even LIKE Erik BUT THEY DID HIM SO DIRTY#THE CHARACTER POTENTIAL AND WRITING COULD'VE BEEN BETTER THAN ZANE B. S1 OF H2O BUT THEY THREW IT AWAY AND FOR WHAT!!!!!!!#Seriously you're telling me a kid who was abandoned his entire life for being male didn't have a bigger impact on the pod than FUCKING ZAK?#That plot twist of 'oh actually Zak was a merman all along' was 100% so they could guilt free write Erik out#Instead of like. Having him face his actions or redeem himself in like. Any way. He just fucks off. THEN the pod is like lol Zac were sorry#We're sorry for literally not doing anything to you because you were privledged enough to have a mother who was super ultra powerful#So you were never really affected by our actions until JUST now. Unlike that other fuckface Erik who suffered his whole life alone#Also then in s3 there are STILL no mermen in the pod. Not even little mermen babies. No kids and teens they've welcomed back n apologized to#NOTHING#God. Mm pisses me off dude#AND I STILL HAVENT TOGGLED THAT FUCKING OPTIONS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH#Cruddy rambles#God I'm not done I'm sorry fallout can wait YOU ARE TELLING ME THE GUY WHO TELLS US HOW SHITTY MERMAN BABIES R TREATED BY THE POD. IS NOT#THE SAME ONE THE POD APOLOGIZES TO IN THE SEASON FINALE BECAUSE THEY WROTE IN A SHITTY PLOT TWIST?#AUUUUUUUHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG#It's so bad. It's so fucking bad. It's so needlessly gendered and for what. They could've just had 2 rival warring pods#What pisses me off the most is that s3 (4) completely pivots and never really follows thru with the s1 and 2 story arcs#The writers just kinda wash thsir hands of that because 'hey the pod said sorry to zac' BUT THEN NOTHING ACTUALLY CHANGES!!!!#Maybe instead of having a constantly rotating cast of characters s3 (4) could've instead focused on Ondina and Erik's relationship a bit#Maybe have Ondina tell him she wants to just stay friends because she can't trust him. Have him IDK grow and change as a character?#Maybe so you can show kids nobody is born evil and we all need support systems and healthy relationships to grow and become better people??#THAT would've been a GOOD FOLLOW THROUGH#But no instead u just write him out of the show and never show any OTHER mermen who were exiled being welcomed back#Like u had Ondina becoming a teacher... Why not have Zac become a teacher for all the new mermen who were just recently welcomed back??

fic title: set adrift and alight?
It's not that Liv is listless, per-say. It's just... Okay. Take a step back, then take this step by step.
Blaseball isn't all he's ever known, but it's dominated and defined his life for decades now.
Blaseball is over, the Umpires declaring a new leader, a siesta, and then a quiet ending years later.
Everyone they had known in the Black Hole never came back when everything ended.
And that's. That's fine! She knew when she felt herself slip away and enter freefall that she might not see them again. She landed in the Charlestons and found Ankle there, she helped greet everyone who arrived after her in the years that followed, she had time to make peace with the holes in her life. She made peace with it.
And it's not like he didn't have plenty to do in the aftermath either. Sunken Charleston had been using Blaseball as an anchor of sorts and trying to settle that out and relearn how to two-step across a space that was suddenly spongey and stretch underfoot, like sprinting across a trampoline, that was a whole other experience. He and the team (and the former team, once a thief always a thief after all) had had to really band together to figure out how to safely navigate that space again.
It's just... They'd actually liked playing, was the thing. They don't admit it to anyone else, but they had. On the good days, the days where the Umps weren't burning up dangerous or the slush-ice of immateria wasn't dragging people under, it had been fun. Exciting. The GOOD sort of burn.
Oliver Loofah had long ago made peace with Blaseball maybe killing her and sending her (back) to the Hall. She'd just never actually made plans for surviving it, or what would come after.
Or figuring out how to stay in touch with people who he doesn't know will remember him at all now they have nothing in common.
#ask meme#my writing#oliver loofah#blaseball#what if you had accepted that maybe one day what you do in life would probably kill you#and send you back to the hall where you believed all your old teammates were waiting#and then it just doesnt happen and you suddenly have to figure out#your entire everything#how to life through the aftermath#how to grieve that many lost connections#how to process the sudden pivot in your whole life direction#surrounded by people who (to your perspective) probably aren't feeling the same because they hated it by the end#the mix of relief and dread as you're suddenly free to do whatever you want but you have no way of knowing what that is#and your social circle is so built on this unifying factor you don't know how it'll endure without it#and you don't say anything#because you fear the answer#because you don't know if the confirmation is better than the uncertain hope so you hold your hands still at your sides#because if you know for sure you've lost something else you won't know how to grieve that either#i think about it sometimes#i think about liv a lot still

do kids these days know about gay pirates by cosmo jarvis. if you see this post look up the music video for gay pirates by cosmo jarvis. yes including if you have seen it. it's still a banger and you should listen to it again
#warning the song is about love amidst massive violent homophobia. and all that entails#the official one on cosmo's youtube got deleted but thankfully a copy was made by someone#honestly. pivotal part of queer existence in the early 2010s. not in any like historically meaningful way#just in that if you were gay in 2012-onward it changed your life#personally#this was prompted by finally sitting down to remake my mlm playlist on spotify. and the Classic. the All Timer

i have literally nowhere else to put this i apologise for the spam. the absolute best thing to come out of s3 trent is without a doubt the fucking earnestness... like in s1-2 he always came across as a very self-assured kind of guy, who knew how he came off (ie: intimidating) and enjoyed it. but seeing that paired with him being silly + completely relaxing in certain company??? pulling ridiculous faces at vodka + scrunching up his nose when he smiles @ colin + making the most ABSURD 'i really wanna say something right now but i feel like im interrupting' noises ive ever heard in my fucking LIFE??? its like. he is cool as shit and he is self assured AND he can make dumb fucking sherlock holmes jokes and dance ridiculously. its like!!!! he's lame but he's also not bc he's exactly as confident in being lame as he is being cool. do u see the vision. he has killed the part of him that cringes!!!! its just.. that unshakeable self confidence that u see in his fucking swaggers into frame includes all of himself + his different moods and eccentricities and that's just so based to me idk. unironically live ur best life wear the loudest combination of prints and patterns and primary colours uve ever seen in ur life while espousing the virtues of extended museum hours!!! contain multitudes! get silly with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#ted lasso spoilers#combined with james lance's hc abt trent's past its just. like!!#the growth from 'i can't be what you want me to be so im going to be Better than them + tear them down'#-> 'i know my reputation so im going to lean into that + be ruthless + intimidating' ->#'actually fuck this? fuck this! im just gonna be me and if anyone has a problem w then L To Them I'm Actually Living'#also this is just my hcs at this point but like. i do think ted helped a lot w the latter part of this process in so much as. ted embodied#someone who was Visibly weak + vulnerable and had no armour/no sense of self preservation#(the opposite of trent's persona) and made no effort to change anything abt himself to prevent attack. obviously ted has a lot of social +#class advantages that make that less risky for him than it would be for others but like. u get the drift#and i THINK. seeing how without that armour/facade ted was able to be rlly direct + earnest w connecting w ppl#like asking an interviewer 'what do u love?' and rlly genuinely wanting to know the answer#and bc TRENT was specifically in the position of 'i could fucking destroy u rn and u wouldn't put up a fight'#that kind of. shifted his perspective a bit? like. damn what would that say abt me if i wrote a hit piece on this guy rn#i disagree VERY strongly w the idea that trent's more positive character development moments happened ONLY bc of ted (i don't think that's#true for anyone in the show tbh) BUT i think ted's presence at a pivotal point in his life was what helped him confront the fact that#at this stage in his life all his intellectual armour was doing was making him into someone Mean rather than just incisive#like. 'is this a fucking joke' is not cutting journalism. u get me??#and arguably that's a fine and even safe choice to make when ur younger and have no support/reputation backing u up#but after decades? its like man wtf are we doign here if were literally just living preventatively#smth smth i hope i am not just a tumblr blog to u but a blog who is inventing the brain chemistry of a sitcom side character#w each new episode they watch. trent crimm is my best friend irl i know he would have scorching hot takes abt each new season of survivor#and would earnestly heckle the jury and final 3 alike

my grandmother is dead and i don't see a point to living anymore
Frankly i think that's a normal ass emotion to have bc my grandma's fckn dead
#Society's obsession w being fine is yoxic#Wheres my mourning garb#Shes nit even in the ground and im supposed to just be fine about it#Just accept death they say#As if its no the most pivotal experience one can go through#Youre all selfish pieces of shit for believing that#I refuse ro be fine avout it#Frankly its not even all of the shit im going through#Im fucking furious#About everything that lead up to her death#My whole life#Her life#And im sad okay#I hate that theres never enough time to be allowed to feel#Were dorsed to cry alone bc noone lives w their family units anymore#Were forsed to comfort ourselves bc noone is prepared to carry the grief of a friend for more than a few hours#Funerals are supposed to be communal not a solitary nesessiry#Someone created the hell we live in and im allowed to be angry at him#Muffin rambles#Personal#cw death

remember when force awakens came out and it was everything and it changed the world and then they took all of that potential and hope and threw it in the fucking garbage
#i just really love force awakens and it was a pivotal movie for me (obviously my name is rey)#and then they fucked it all up and it makes me want to cry because the potential THE POTENTIAL#the fics that came out after that movie before any of the others were so good and so full of hope and the art and the everything#star wars literally is my best friend and my worst enemy it changed my life for the better and worse#rey actually speaks#anyways my dad turned it on and itâs been a little bit and i just want to cry

âwhat if kids identify with something and it ends up just being a phase-?â good. stop teaching and expecting kids (and adults honestly) to formulate permanent traits and ideas of themselves. everything in life is a phase. that doesnât make it any less legitimate while you experience it. let people explore themselves and know itâs okay if what you think about yourself changes.
#When I was 5 I announced to my kindergarten music teacher that I wanted to be a ballerina#I had no experience with dance whatsoever and was not the kind of kid who was typically into tutus or things like that#Possibly I'd just seen the Nutcracker and had my baby mind blown at seeing professional dancers for the first time#But I didn't ask to take dance classes#I didn't ask for ballet shoes or tutus#I fact I didn't even remember saying it when the teacher brought it up at parent conference later in the year#It was a whim#And that's OK!#If I'd asked for lessons or showed more interest my parents would probably have broke the bank to let me pursue it#Several years later when I was into horses they sent me to horse camp and it was a brilliant experience#I interned at a vet clinic as a teen and applied to the preveterinary program in university#Ultimately I didn't finish the program but I learned a lot that I use to this day in my animal rescue volunteer work#And at one point during college I had friends who were dancers and I got to experiment with that too!#For the love of everything... Let kids try things and experiment with their interests and identities!#I wore cowboy boots to school for two years and changed my name to a gender neutral version - which I still use#I'm probably nonbinary but at my age idgaf anymore.#They don't have to know or understand everything about themselves by age 6 or 12 or 18#But absolutely DO respect what they're interested in and what their identity is no matter what age#Support their interests and passions and yes even their passing whims#Because they don't know and you don't know what is going to end up being pivotal in their life!#Give them space to experiment and try and fail and change their minds and learn new things about themselves.#Without the pressure to make anything permanent#That's the amazing thing about options like puberty blockers#It buys some time for a young person to learn more about themselves before their body starts making decisions for them#It's like taking a gap year if they don't know what they want to do after high-school
