Repentance is an episode that kind of hits what I think it was trying to say but then also. completely and utterly fails in other areas. which is characteristic of a lot of these types of Trek episodes tbh
#star trek: voyager#where they did a pretty good job: the guy that Seven bonded with that made an appeal#its. a bit tricky because of how they depict the mental illness aspect imo#because they do lean a bit too much into trying to absolve him of responsibility#I think the character himself had it the best in that he took full responsibility for what he did and didnt try to excuse himself#even if he wasn't fully in control of himself he is still responsible for his actions and the hurt he caused#and I like that he was the first to acknowledge and refused to absolve himself#then theres the guy Neelix bonded with#I was really excited especially when they brought up how his race made up 10% of the population but represented 80% of prison population#I thought we were gonna get some great commentary on the prison system#but in the end they didnt follow through#and to make it even worse they completely villainized the dude#so in the end the narrative isnt empathetic towards him or the others being sent to be executed#its only empathetic towards the one Seven bonded with#this happens OFTEN with racism episodes in Trek#where they kind of hit or almost hit#but then theres always something that just. completely misses the mark

requested by @lexkent: the scene in "Shattered" where Lana sees Lex on the ground in the stable sitting curled into himself, and she looks anguished to see him in such a state, and she's so kind and compassionate to him
+ bonus Lana, after literally almost dying:
#thank you erin for requesting this because these scenes are incredibly underrated#like the moment where lana hands lex the drink and he smiles up at her with such an innocently adoring look....... many thoughts head full#(yes I know it all goes horribly wrong right after that but shhhhh)#she's just soooo soft and gentle and sweet with him and it's hitting all the best hurt/comfort buttons in my heart 🥺#just look at all the comforting touches!! lex almost never receives that kind of genuine affection/positive physical contact from other ppl#I think it's also worth pointing out that lana decides at the end of the ep that being around *clark* is dangerous and she should avoid him#but she never expresses a similar sentiment towards lex or blames him at all for what happened#and a few episodes later she even tells him that he could have visited her while she was recovering#......god I still can't get over the fact that her first words when she wakes up in the hospital are 'how's lex' like I really could cry#she's the best and I won't hear a word to the contrary#smallville#smallvilleedit#svedit#lana lang#lex luthor#clark kent#lexana#dcmultiverse#sv 3x08#my gifs

It's interesting to me that when people are feeling particularly vicious and biting, they always go after Beej. Like, the venom I will see spat at him specifically is just remarkable.
#hawkeye spent entire seasons sexually harassing and bordering on sexually assaulting women and bj hit hawk once#trapper and bj both have violently knocked hawkeye clean off his feet the same amount of times while equally drunk#mulcahy makes it perfectly clear that he would like to hit hawkeye and uses his faith as the last remaining reason why he does not#trapper spends almost his whole time at camp insulting his wife and bj breaks down over his a handful of times#imo margaret and hawkeye and bj are all pretty much tied for the amount of character development they go through in the show#but because bj evolves in challenging ways instead of being a perfect apple pie eating bright white teethed sidekick#he is treated with such a remarkable amount of virulence that i will never understand#i do so much to try and make myself open for all kinds of people to enjoy the content i write#but i do have really painful moments where i have to look in the mirror and seriously ask myself#why i want so badly to be liked by people who would gleefully stab my favorite character a thousand times while i watched#my ramblings

Man, I still remember participating in one of the many jjba zines that I took part in and how my piece was placed as the first page (for the second time) and how one of my mutuals/artists that I’ve always admired, hit me with the “oh… you’re on the front page again… 😅…” like man, that kind of killed me lmfao. I never got over it like man, what was that about.
#it’s not like i put the books together myself or anything all my ass did was submit my work#like this was from a really popular and well known artist as well like#their art has always been so gorgeous to me too I was like ‘I’m literally a nobody is this person really being shady or…’#rambling#I guess it’s nice being in a zine with ppl I don’t know or care to get to know at least now 😭… just submitting my art and running#referring to the jjk zine 😭 I need t start working on it uhh#zines make me feel so anxious man#it really did make me feel bad and almost guilty? I was like this is kind of awkward…#another zine I was in which was run by a mutual… well… I never even got my zine in the mail#and I even sent them $20 for some merch that they were making since I wanted to support and never got that either…#they deleted their blog but I see that they remade and draw a lot of DM and have a lot of popular posts here so it’s kind of awkward seeing#their art shared on the dash sometimes skeks#we’re still mutuals on Twitter but I don’t rly want to ask about my zine again or the $20 bucks#it’s okay like I owe other ppl stuff too I’m a late bird man but still loskekk#they were the mod for the zine too#I might hit them up again I guess I still love their art and they were always fun to talk to#there was another zine that I participated in where we had to purchase our own copy bro#i remember being so annoyed by that but went ahead and bought it anyway#I was invited to this zine so it made me even more annoyed#I#Guess it didn’t make its money back#or something like that but I remember being broke at the time and was pissed that I had to pay for my own book#I didn’t buy any of the merch because why when it was supposed to be free#if you’re participating in a zine the book and merch should be free

Taylor returning over and over to the falling through the ice accident in the Bolter—everything to me
#like. just. the shock of it all#there’s something about Taylor where her experience of life is so ….. brutal#like I don’t know how else to say it but it just is. life is not easy on her it is always ready to CLOBBER her#and in a way she’s not easy on life. there’s some kind of magnets/opposite poles stuff where she’s just always drawn to the worst things#to feeling them and experiencing them and almost ??? creating them#like I don’t mean to overstate it. and I know she has a family who loves her (thank GOD)#and also she’s very practical and industrious about creating this very Instagram worthy life full of Fine Things and a Fun Time#and of course all the resources in the world at her disposal to create all the trappings of it#whether it’s a celebrity Fourth of July party or the eras tour#and she’ll do it and love it. but as all the best critics know and point out the most fascinating thing about Taylor is always the music#and it’s where all the weirdness and stubbornness and difficulties of her life. her a c t u a l longings her actual fears#her actual terrible awful experiences that she charges headlong down the paths of#is set free! and it’s breathtaking in the most shocking way#like falling through the ice! I always say the first thing that always hits me about a Taylor album is the bitterness#just this blast in the face. and her music is so gentle! in so many ways#and the packaging is so appealing and her voice is so soft and expressive and there is none of that weird experimentation#even musically (remember when she shut down imogen heap for putting a minor chord in clean she was like absolutely not. I’m obsessed)#(with that moment forever)#but like. so much of Taylor’s packaging and life and HER really does SEEM so basic or ordinary or just rich girl ordinary I guess#she likes basic things and wants basic things. but also she is so hungry so restless so angry so wounded the rich internal life is CHURNING#all the time. every second. and it’s spectacular to watch and also I will worry about her until the day I die#or just—-I don’t know. it’s going to be spectacular and it is sometimes going to be awful#but she will keep furiously writing her way through it!!#there IS such a woundedness to her. and it makes me love her so much because it’s packaged in such a way people think it must just be#whining or privilege. but it’s not! it’s just. the human condition and Taylor’s own flaws#okay I’ve lost the plot here a bit in my ramblings but yeah the ice metaphor. insanely perfect

Watching Interview With The Vampire Season 2 with my partner
(context for folks who didn't read the books: the characters are significantly more fucked up than in the show, and part of Armand's seduction of Louis and Claudia is presenting them with Armand's personal boy, who sleeps in a little cage in his office, which is one of the primary things I remember about him from the first book)
Episode 2.03
Armand, to Louis: "I have something to show you." Me: "Is it your boy in a cage, Armand?" My partner: "I don't think he has a boy in a cage in this universe." Me: "That's weird!"
Episode 2.04
Armand, explaining his tragic backstory in an art gallery Me: "Yes that's sad but what about your boy in a cage???" My partner: "This Armand doesn't have a boy in a cage!" Me: "And that's weird!! Is he even Armand without a boy in a cage???"
Episode 2.05
Daniel, to Louis: "How long did you two keep me there? I was a glorified house pet for two, three, four, five days? " Me: "Oh my god Daniel is the boy in the cage." My partner: "Finally! He is!" (we have to pause the show because we're too busy cackling at the realization)
#we're enjoying it very much#we've been screaming a lot#which is impressive considering i'm super sick and my throat hurts So Very Much#anyways two episodes to go and then we're caught up#i love this armand so fucking much btw don't get me wrong#it's just weird to be in a slightly better universe#where anne rice isn't hitting me over the head with Terrible Vampire Actions every two seconds#but also i get to look at pretty people???? and it's kind of killing me????#every time armand faces the camera i almost pass out#maybe that's the cold medication though#iwtv#iwtv s2#ask to tag

Everytime I face a new character limit on a website that didn't have them before/used to have really long ones... AUGHHhhh the modern social media world was not made for people like me (lovers of details, rambling, elaboration, thorough explanation, and nuance)
#twitter and other short form shit and everything being a Phone App On Small Screen instead of a Proper#Computer Website i feel like has just ruined the format of literally everything for me. Thoughts just keep getting more and more condensed#with detail and nuance taken away. everything over simplified into only the basics. blah blah blah. I've already probably rambled about thi#all before but it's just SO frustrating. I literally just CAN NOT talk that way!!! even if I try!!! I took multiple advanced placement#english & language arts classes in school and I literally never made below an A on any assignment EVER except for ESSAYS#where I would legit get almost failing grades just because I cannt express myself concisely. I took an english placement test thats made to#like evaluate your competency in a subject and out of the 102 multiple choice questions I only missed TWO of them. almost a perfect#score. But for the 5 open response questions (about articulating thoughts succinctly) I did not get a single one of them lol#I only got partial credit on 3. It's like I OBVIOUSLY understand the material and I know how Words Work and how to analyze and interpret#meaning and etc. etc. But it's just when I have to express myself CLEANLY I can't. It's always ''well you have very good points and you#get around to the idea eventually and I think it's very insightful - but it just needs to be shorter/the side tangent needs to be removed/#etc.'' I've always wondered if it has something to do with being on the schizophrenia spectrum and how that can cause disorganized#speech sometimes hmm..ANYWAY.. But I just naturally express myself in a very particular way which is lengthy and I can't rea#ly seem to control it. So it's basically like just.. being gradually pushed out of every place that won't accomodate people with different#ways of like perceiving and expressing or etc. Everything cannot ALWAYS be 100% 'Short and Snappy and To The Point' or a quippy one#liner or the Bare Minimum of information being provided or etc. Some peoples brains just do not work like that!!!!! Sorry I operate#in detail and elaboration lol. ANYWAY.. I still sometimes use random ''dating sites'' like OKCupid to look for platonic friends since#I never leave the house so it's hard for me to just meet friends naturally. And I just realized today that they added a RIDICULOUSLY small#character limit to their messaging system (2000 words?? augh). And also took away answer explanations (when you answer a compatibility#question you used to have a space to give detail and explain why you answered the way you did) and removed a few other features and it's ju#t like.. how the fuck is any of this actually helpful in terms of judging compatibility? take away ALL nuance and anyting that actually#is meant to tell you anything about a person? Bumble's character limits for your profile description are even more fucking insane and so#is every other disgustingly minimalistic place I've seen like.. OKC used to be superior BECAUSE it allowed for a TON of detail. like back i#2016 or something there was SO much data you could look at. long form question answers. personality trait summaries. etc. Now you have#SOO little to judge off of when evaluating compatibiility it's like. You'd have better luck just throwing a dart in a crowded street and#talking to whoever it hits. Why are people so fucking allergic to reading anything longer than 3 words and providing DETAILS!! It just seem#harder and harder to find any place to meet platonic friends where you have any amount of actual data to go off of and it isnt basically#just random 'speed dating' set up shit. AARGH. &I know 'oh just join a club& meet ppl irl' 1. erm..covid. 2.I mostly want to meet ppl#in places I'd like to move so I already know ppl when I get there. You kind of HAVE to do that online. bc I am not there yet.. WISHING for#Complexity.Com where ppl can upload full 900 page psychological files of themselves. MINIMUM profile character limit 30k words lol

starting a commonplace book and actually committing to it was one of the best things I've done this year. this is your sign to start a commonplace book 🫵
#damien.txt#my taste is literature is good & i re-radicalize myself every time i read thru the stuff i put it#if you dont know what a commonplace book is: it's basically a little journal where you put like. quotes or sections of lit/poetry/etc#also can be used for little jotted down notes or thoughts#i wrote some stuff from a talk abt eclipses i went to & wrote some stuff abt pastoralism#but a lot of what i have is excerpts and they be hitting#and idk it kind of fucks being able to like. see what i was reading at a time. seeing what was Hitting for ke#often it still hits. probably because i've only been doing it for like 4 months lmao but still#idk it's just cool. it's almost like a little reminder of why i like literature that i can keep in my pocket

one thing about being a fic writer with memory issues is that you write almost forty fics and end up remembering like three at a time
you think about it. okay, so that’s like…maybe eight fics
you look and you’ve got nearly forty and you have no clue what most of them are about
#on the bright side that does mean you get to read things you’ve written with the perspective of a newcomer#and it helps to really zero in on what’s good and what actually needs improvement#like ‘oh wow! ae really like that scene!’ and then you realize you wrote that and you can do it again#or you can go ‘hmmm ae think it kinda overdid this idea here’#and then you can apply to future fics#you know how you got there kind of. muscle memory almost. you can do it again but tweak it to be more what you like#for example: that fic of ford living in a spooky house in a spooky forest with spooky creatures and spooky rules?#we’ll be honest. we don’t like that one much. feels too creepypasta-ish for us#too cliche. too surface level. too…fake. plastic. too many ‘this is where you be scared’ moments#on the other hand we really like some other horror fics we’ve done!#the one with the ford mimic? that thing made us shudder going back and reading it again#we like the nightmare one. it’s effective and the ending hits you hard#we know what we like and what we don’t in our own work#that makes it easier to apply for future works y’know?

thinking about a big feral werewolf
holding me so gently and rutting into me softly snd sweetly
lapping up my tears from the stretching snd sheer emotion
pumping all of his love into me one thrust at a time, while cooing sweet “youre ok, its ok, you can take it”
#an angel by another name#my post#harps and discord#soft snd sweet and loving#the kind of sex where youre making sure the person knows no matter how long it takes#ill be back#almost like when youre partially clothed hitting deep and slow and making out#to be specific i giess

#i don't really want to make a whole post about it because it was a very personal and very miserable time for me#but genuinely#the thing that got me wanting to move on again and LIVE after my life plans all fell apart last year#was sitting down and very seriously thinking about the kind of woman i want to be when i'm 70#i hit that thing that a lot of people in their mid-twenties are hitting right now#where it feels like we've already wasted everything and not only are we failures now but we will always BE failures until we die#but right now i'm still in my twenties#and when i thought about what a good lifespan looked like to me#70-ish seems about right#and what do i want to have when i'm 70#what skills will be useful and beyond that#what skills will be fun#i had gotten into a mindset of “too late too late”#learning to draw#or sing#or dance#or fix a car#or ride a motorcycle#they all felt like learning NOW would be pointless because *melodramatically* aLL my YoUtH HaS bEEn WaStEddd#but unless God has another plan i'm not going to die in my twenties#i'll likely live many more decades#my life probably isn't even half-way over yet#what do i want to be when i'm 70?#it doesn't matter that i don't know everything yet#i have more than four decades to work on it#that's more than the entirety of the life i've already lived#and yeah#i spent five years at a dead end job that finally drove me almost to a breakdown#but even that wasn't a waste#i saved enough to go to school and i learned a lot while i worked there

I have a soft spot for jealous leads, mcs who aren’t charming or well liked, or even necessarily nice. I bet on losing dogs type characters. Rat girls and losers. More of that in stories, please <3
#this is where ttp is heading I think#Kellan is like……#he has SO many issues#he literally let someone amputate all his limbs so they would like him more#and he obviously NOT well adjusted about his rejection sensitivity#outwardly he is so charming and almost docile; he’ll give anyone anything they ask for as long as they give him affection#but inside he’s a mess#Ada too#she is like full throttle chaos by the time chapter two hits#she USED to be sweet and kind and she still understands how to PRETEND to be that way#and she knows how to use her ditzy appearance to get what she wants#but she threatens to stab the man holding her boat hostage#she thinks about pushing several people overboard#she lets someone else take the fall for her petty thievery#their sense of right and wrong is so warped and it takes them meeting each other to remember how to be human#sorry I have to talk about them or I will explode <3#they are my horrible little rat children I love them so much and they are awful#squawk tag

ive never had engagement to this extent on my art cross platform between tumblr And twitter before... it's so surreal to me. thank you all for the kind words!!!
#i'm almost tempted to plug my main LOL#<- won't. because i'm shy.#i'm a tumblr native at heart so posting on twitter is very new to me but i see why artists might prefer it over tumblr now#it feels more... visible?#as opposed to here where it feels more like i'm allowed to exist within my own bubble...#i much prefer tumblr for talking/rambling... i love talking in tags..#also i realize now ive been spoiled by tumblr's lack of automatic crop. fighting for my life over on twt trying to get those images to work#i feel like i can't. touch too many things on twitter. or talk too much. because something will break.#i also feel way too highly visible there like an ant being hit with a beam of sun through a magnified glass#i usually take to making a side account like this whenever i get a particularly lethal interest to wait until it naturally dies down#but it's normally a very lowkey affair. i never get notes like this! even on main!#so thank you all once again for the kindness..
