I cannot imagine being a Damian stan right now. You've got both Zdarsky's bullshit (where he clearly doesn't give a shit about your boy) and The Boy Wonder (where Juni Ba clearly gives so many shits about your boy) coming out on the same day. The whiplash must be insane. I hope y'all get some nice warm soup for your efforts jfc

#damian wayne #damian al ghul #damian al ghul wayne #batman #batfamily #for all of the issues that come with having Steph as your fave having too much wild shit happening at once is never one of them #btw I quite like The Boy Wonder Issue 1. wow shocker an artist and writer who I have liked everything they've ever done #has once again written something that I am enjoying with art that makes me want to be part of its world.#it's almost like Juni Ba is really freaking talented or something #like I have some problems with it but it seems like many of those are part of the point. Damian is learning that his siblings are more #three-dimensional than he realized and that is part of this 'coming of age' story merged with fairytale #so I can't be mad at the oversimplistic defining of Dick and Jason and Tim until the conclusion of the series. that might be the point.#I hope that the series will address Steph as a Robin but if not then frankly it's not an issue unique to this series.#I'll be annoyed and disappointed but ultimately roll with it like I am with Babsgirl being here. There's too much good stuff here to get #hung up on shit that seems to be almost an editorial mandate at this point. at least that's where I'm at.#I am also very sorry that Chip Zdarsky is massacring your boy. he has 'X (Tim for him) is the best Robin so everyone else must suck' diseas #where a writer really likes one specific Robin and in trying to uplift them demeans all of the other Robins. instead of like...just writing #for that one character only or alternatively not demeaning the other characters in order to make his blorbo look good #it's wild because I actually think his writing for Tim is pretty solid. but he's not writing a Tim series. he's writing a Batman series.#and if you are going to write a Batman series and include other Batfamily members you need to actually write them well.#instead of assigning them like 2 personality traits while Tim gets to be a whole character #I accept that behavior in fanfic where I have lesser standards because it's fucking free. not a comic run that wants me to pay #tens of dollars in order to understand what the fuck is going on. he's been going for a while now it's gotta be a lot of money.#I can buy Steelworks with that money. I can see John Henry and Natasha Irons in a trade. Fuck you Chip.#it's why it takes such a special person to write a good ensemble story/a good Batfamily story. you have to be good at writing a LOT #of different characters. which I don't think most people are. I sure as hell am not. I can write maybe 3 at a time confidently well.#and you also have to give all of them at least SOME love or else people will be upset that you aren't focusing on their fave #and also the writing as a whole will suffer. Chip Zdarsky is a pretty good Tim writer. I'd maybe read a Tim solo written by him.#I would not read a story focusing on multiple characters that I like written by Chip Zdarsky. because every character who isn't Tim #is at least a bit weak/inconsistent/out of character INCLUDING FUCKING BATMAN. THE NO. 1 GUY MOST ARE HERE FOR

huh, well, ngl before the show I'd probably agree with you because in terms of fanart and content Lucerys and Joffrey were out of the window. Jacaerys had the most likely chance to get something due to the fact he had a bigger role compared to his brothers and an actual personality.

But the show did change a lot in terms of favorites and content. Now the only way to see some aegon iii & Viserys ii fanart is most likely from dedicated book readers. Or from people who just really enjoyed these two.

the whole "pure" Targaryen is fandom hypocrisy and I see from a specific number of people so I wouldn't say it's even a majority. But obviously, I'm not saying there shouldn't be a content for the Velaryon boys. I view it as a positive that the show caused interest from the fan base.

But it's also annoying seeing one worse take than the other that multiplies. I know I should take my own advice and ignore it (which I do) but I can't help venting from time to time.

Also, in the book we never really see the boys "suffering" for being bastards. The allegations of being illegitimate were done by the greens within court to sway highlords. The common people didn't blink twice and eat up the whole "baratheon genes". Of course I do think after the war, had any of them survived it'd have become a bigger issue to deal with, but nothing pre-war indicates their childhood was bad. Rhaenyra was sheltering them extremely well.

As for the naming thing, it does make sense when you consider rhaena & baela were their only living relatives. Politically wise naming their children after anyone from their family who passed during the war would be controversial. Because the blacks didn't technically win it. They had to treat things with the same fragility as Alysanne & Jaehaerys did with the faith after Maegor. (not to this grand extend but in a similiar fashion y'know?)

and last but not least, controversial take that comes from my opinion only. The Velaryon boys were given their names by Corlys and Laenor. Rhaenyra had no say in them. I acknowledge I play favorites here but it does give me the icky vibe these two men just took over. So ngl while aegon&viserys naming any of their children after then would have had a sweeter tone of affection, I'm glad it didn't happen because Corlys would have another W

in my humble opinion I think Aegon III and Viserys II are the ones who suffered the most out of all D&R's kids

#anti corlys velaryon #<- tagging this because I feel my disdain can be seen #also I have 3 sides about the naming. On the one hand was it a strategy to help pass them as Velaryon and thus protect them? maybe #but if that was the case it also screams insecurity since they didn't have the “looks”. Also it adds to the suspicion that #the Targaryen princess wouldn't name her children after any of her ancestors. If her and Laenor had some grand love it could be excused #but they didn't #also since we're talking about the “current” state of the fanbase ship wars have soured everything #do you know there are harwin /daemon stans who pin the children against each other?#same goes for laena stans who if you draw the twins with rhaenyra you MUST have a lengthy disclaimer that you acknowledge laena's existence #it gets tiring pretty fast. so the quickest solution is to focus on the biological children of daemyra in hopes of avoiding drama #<- which is also unlikely because there's gonna be one whining person who will complain about “where's are the other character” etc #which quite frankly I don't get it #when I see fanart of Daemon and the twins my first thought isn't to complain about where the rest are #So yeah I think regardless who you side with you'll always find yourself in the crossroads

y'know when Sleep Token debuted their new masks one of the theories was that the next album would be overall heavier in sound and while I'm up for whatever they decide to do I half hope it is just so that more people going to the rituals get the hint that they want pits and such at them

#Idk what else to do #other than a Psyop to try to game the algorithm to get metal concert etiquette and pit rules to go viral in ST communities outside of Tumbl #I think on Tumblr the community gets it but idk about like. TikTok and such. Which is the bigger one tbh #I also quite frankly don't know how to start on a project like that myself and have minimal experience with actual concert going #So idk how to actually make/format the graphics #sleep token

just when i thought it couldn't get any worse i realized i want to go to grad school

#speak friend and enter #im not paying for that shit tho im gonna get a job at a school first.#long story short im pivoting to rest mgmt bc quite frankly i dont want to become the very thing i swore to destroy (mean cokehead chef)#and to put it bluntly FOH/FBV mgrs make more money than chefs. by like a lot.#because chefs don't get rich unless they become a bobby flay type which is entirely anathema to my principles tbh.#and i know that i get too emotionally involved in the food so. it's probably a net good that i stay out of that #but i can be passionate enough about the food from a business angle while still not letting it eat me up inside yk?#aspiration ended with lesbian carmy berzatto. to be the lesbian richie jerimovich is now my goal

watching black sails while having a popular post about knights sure is making me think about pirates and knights as very specific romantic ideals of violent men bound to each other by oaths, one ostensibly within the law and one emphatically outside of it

#when i saw a gender doctor to get my top surgery referral we talked about gender incongruence in childhood and pretty much all i could offer #was the fact that i spent so much of my childhood dressed as a pirate #and we talked about knights and pirates as the two options for transmasc gender-affirming cosplay lol #either conceal everything through bulky layers of armour or wear huge floofy shirts #i am sure there are transmascs who were neither #but because i was a swallows & amazons kid i was a 'change your name and be a pirate' kid and. well.#my cousin however was the knight child among us and i was roped into dressing up and fighting her in the back garden #which i did with glee not least because i enjoyed an excuse to fight my cousin who frankly is quite tiring #so. definitely some knight moments. but pirates came first #knightblogging #kind of.#i don't have a pirate tag #knight-pirate continuum #is a tag now though

Ah…

… I had blissfully forgotten about Nozomi.

#Firebird Randomness #I have a lot of complaints about her #she's frankly quite bad writing #and before anyone tries to justify her eclipsing other characters #other filler arcs have had characters w/ massive connections to the villains that have NOT taken as much focus or competence #from other characters #the Bount arc was bad filler but they didn't over focus on most of those characters #they try too hard to make her both the pure damsel and some powerful warrior #it drives me insane the way this arc treats Yamamato #and frankly the others #all to shill her #I don't care that 'it's just one arc' bc I actually LIKE the concept of this arc #which brings me to the thing I will NEVER forgive her for #is ruining the chance to have Renji and Rukia fight a clone of Byakuya #(and frankly Matsumoto fighting clone Hitsugaya)#I would have preferred them to have a proper battle there #rather than her just magically being able to destroy everything #so man characters get nerfed for the sake of precious Nozomi #but this #this I cannot forgive #Things You Din't Know Fire Was Into

ok so i have very much moved past hoping for the playoffs but i thought this was so funny

we are technically still in it lmao. look at that, if we win, we've got a 3% chance!! all we need to do is win every game from here on out (with literally the only good members of our defense out for the season besides trey lol) and for every team above us to suddenly completely forget how to play football!

but what's really funny is we are the LAST possible team that can still make the playoffs at number 10 right now. look at this.

ALL OF THESE TEAMS have already been mathematically eliminated already?? with a little over a month left in the season?? (also lmao WHAT was the afc this year??)

AND!!!!

we're also currently in the top 10 for the draft next year hahahaha. somehow 4 wins both gets you a chance (even if it's a ghost of one) for the playoffs and a chance to pick in the top 10. this season is absurd!!!

#so like quite frankly we probably shouldn't want to win any more games #which i mean. i guess that's possible tbh! given our defense #and i guess it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world to just continue how it's been going #the offense being awesome. joe and ja'marr breaking records. and then still losing to secure our draft spot lol #but obviously i don't see our players being down for that. they're not giving up (most of them at least) and they play for pride #and love of competition and all that #so they aren't tanking!!#but it'll be interesting.... it's really not in our best interest to win out. we are not making the playoffs (even with a 3% chance lol)#like picking in the middle of the draft again helps nothing!#we need a stud on defense and we need one fast lol. no more projects! we can't develop unless we get a new DC (and maybe we do?)#(but we can't bank on that!)#anyway i do not know the point of this post #just funny observations #i don't know what i want to happen besides seeing if ja'marr can pull off the triple crown #i feel like they'll play more of the younger players now. it'll be good to see what kind of potential they might have #and joe is out here saying that these are good reps for next season lol. so he'll be in for sure #what a weird season!!!!!!!!!

I'm sooo gonna treat myself after this interview, and by treat I mean. I will find a space to do some research on anaesthetics so that I can come home and finish that Irish Problems Scene. Oh yeah, and self defense.

#beablabbers #I only have that part of the chapter left which is quite frankly amazing #yeah I am in the city and could get a physical treat but I don't need that

10 pages later, but i think im done with my list of issues for the doctor. gods im still soooo anxious about how that's going to go though ;;; i am hoping to be able to be pushy right from the start though because i really just don't wanna waste my time with a doctor who isn't going to listen to a damn thing i say.

#current plan is to go in and ask 'can i be really pushy for a minute? ok? then lets go;#i have issues i want resolved #and if you aren't willing to actually listen to what i tell you and genuinely consider it #outside of assuming that everything i mention is a result of my anxiety #then i will straight up just leave. i'll go. i am not wasting my time talking to you if you don't actually want to help me #i will simply find a doctor who will'#also including probably explaining that im queer as well bc quite frankly im not dealing with a doctor whos gonna be queerphobic either #and either they will accept that or they will get pissy about it in which case i will leave #is this incredibly anxiety inducing to even think about?? yes!! BUT so is sitting through a whole new-patient meeting #with a doctor that won't listen to me!!#HURHGH #shh ac

having one of those nights where i'm just. extremely frustrated about fatphobia's existence and the fact that whatever i do to try and change it will be a drop in the ocean and there'll always be people who think i'm just saying this because i'm lazy

#and by night i mean its 5am but shhhhh #what sucks is i was actually building my acting confidence back up quite a bit with my delirium stuff #and i still do wanna do more of that!#but i got reminded that regardless of how good an actor i am i don't meet the 'must be this skinny to have emotions' bar #so i could only ever play her over the internet where people can't see my body #which is especially dumb bc she has like 60% of a physical form at best and yet its always a skinny one #and like i love sandman but it has a fatphobia problem. and the show has not exactly rectified it #kinda wanna draw despair skinny and the other endless not to turn the whole depression = overweight thing on its head #bc hell depression also = underweight and frankly i'd rather have no fat characters at all than her be the only one #but i fear that would get misconstrued and i don't wanna bring down that kinda hate on my head #and like i know i can't change what i look like i've tried i gotta be happy with this eventually #but i see no difference between comic despair and myself in the mirror #and sometimes it makes me feel like im two minutes away from growing tusks #so whoooooo oversharing on the internet #just. i wanna punch something but the something is society so unfortunately that's not really possible #okay to rb if you want i give zero fucks about this being shared im just keeping it in the tags bc that's polite

"was there a reason you didn't cancel this" honestly I thought I had so no there wasn't a reason but also if clients are going to have Your personal number and reach out to You about canceling (when they Should be reaching out via email per our cancelation policy) then You should be canceling the appt anyway imo. all the other trainers cancel their appointments AND add their appointments to the system 🤪

#noah.txt #also I do realize my annoyance is unwarranted but also I'm sosososo tired of this job #she's thinking about closing down for a month for renos and she's not going to pay anyone for that month #and she's not sure if she's going to set it up where we can file unemployment or if she's going to #make us be freelancers under the company name #also she booked an appt but didn't put it in the system and didnt Tell Me and someone put in a booking request for that day/time #and it's frustrating b/c the whole reason she wanted clients to be able to book via the online portal is to #make my job easier/more automated but it's not easier when I'm having to email 5 clients because she cant be fucked to learn the system #then I'm talking to a coworker about how my doctor said I need to get my stress down #and she has the AUDACITY to ask me if she's contributing to the stress #like... yeah you're like the primary stressor in my life because I got hired for an hourly position 2 years ago #yet you treat me like I'm a salary employee who is supposed to be on call #and yeah it's frustrating and stressful to feel like I can never fully relax b/c you might need something #and it's even more frustrating when the things she needs she'll call me about. I won't answer b/c I'm busy #then I'll call her back and she'll be like ''oh I looked for it after I got voicemail''#okay so you don't THINK to do a little investigating before calling me during my time off?#very funny to me that I've been in a therapy session talking about her and she will call me (I do not answer)#my job was not and is not to be a personal assistant yet that is the position I've been forced into #and quite frankly I do not get paid enough to deal with being a personal assistant to #an immature people pleasing 34 year old woman who lacks basic empathy and doesn't give a shit about her employees #like I wanted to like her! I want to like her! she's gay and Jewish! but she also stinks of white rich kid privilege #also she's having a baby with her wife and this is a baby she actively does not want and a baby they're having to fix their marriage #which is a very tough thing for me to watch from the sidelines #she also is always picking apart peoples appearances and shes also told me she would probably leave her wife if she grew her hair out #anyway there's a lot more on a personal and professional level but my break is over

got a bunch of little baby plants and am doing some repotting but damn i have a hard time remembering which ones can't have direct light

all but a few of them are low light types because i don't like window or overhead light (i am a cave gremlin)

but some of them need at least indirect light and i'm trying to get those situated well to the french doors (also i bought another seasonal fern bc i am weak and it's hogging a bunch of the space)

some of the tiny ones are barely hanging on and idk what to do else besides sun+ water

i thiiiink it's the tiny peperomia, the mini spider plant, and the aglaonema that really need out of the direct sunbeams and the couple of little succulents that need moved in more

the one snake plant that i haven't watered for six months needed a bigger pot so i upgraded it and i hope it takes it well. the bitty pearl pothos doesn't need a bigger pot but less sun and more drainage i think, so it got a new pot too

why do i get tempted by plants when i hate natural light so much? i did buy a *little* grow light for the corner though

i need plants that are ok with just ambient low light - the sansevieria is out of the window reach entirely but has been putting up fresh green shoots? the big peace lily keeps unfurling new leaves in the dark corner as long as it gets plenty of water?

but the other peace lily that was by the window is crunchy now and idk how to rehab it (still green? and not wilted but the leaves are crunkly so)

also i seeded some rosemary and sage and they are sprouting but the mint did not come up at all ://

#someone stop me from buying more snake plants just bc they survive #i killed my poor desk philodendron idk how and the diffenbachia too #i need more idiot proof plants but i keep having hopes when i walk past the racks outside the store #i need a palm or something tall for the living room across from the peace lily that just gets a tiny bit more light #also i want a billion succulents but one outdoor one died and its still hard to restrain myself #i need plants that light 60watt lamp light for by the bed where no natural light reaches lol #but also i need an explanation of where this indoor plant hunger comes from #i have a yard but everything out there dies come the months of baking heat #and only the grass really comes back - it's going gangbusters in the empty plant bed right now where nothing else seems to grow #(but weeds)#and if i have to bring the plants in for the summer they can't need bright light which is what they would get on the porch #also i don't want to bring bugs inside quite frankly - the spiders are enough for me (the gnat or two is too many)#i need to figure out how to get my pothos to be fluffier again rather than super leggy it's ridiculous #plant whining #i desperately want a ficus and i'm so afraid i can't keep it alive #i am very attentive for a while but then there will be a period where i keep thinking 'i will water tomorrow' only it can be almost a week #mainly i think the tap water is not great and i now i want to water with filtered water but i think i keep using more water than i should #why can't plant-coddling instincts be inherited? i just don't have that 'feel' for exactly what they need like my mom

finished Pokemon Gaia. 10/10 romhack would recommend

has a fully original map, story, etc; has gen 6 mechanics (mega evo, fairy type, phys/special split); it's all very well polished (new sprites look good and fit the art style and all)

but more importantly than all of that it actually feels like a Pokemon game. like it's not all 100% but by and large stuff like the NPC chatter would fit right in in one of the official games, which is something I think a lot of Pokemon fangames miss

bit of a shame that the postgame isn't complete but everything up through the League is so it's still like. a complete game for all intents and purposes. And when I checked the dev's twitter it seems like development hasn't been abandoned so hey, maybe postgame will happen

#even the level curve is solid which is another thing a lot of fangames don't get quite right #frankly the main issue I ran into was just stuff carried over from official games #why do so many cool goobers have such bad movesets...#even for casual play some of those movesets are fuckin TRAGIC

Tumblr is so mean to me

#raey spam #something something watching the site fucking destroy itself #it's straight up just Not showing one of my mutual's posts on the dashboard despite us being! mutuals!#then the gross ass twitter layout #the userbase shifting almost entirely to liking instead of reblogging #random ass people finding random ass reblogs of mine #like go reblog from op or people you actually follow 😭😭😭😭😭 how the fuck did you even find that 😭😭😭😭😭#and. tumblr live #don't get me wrong i still love tumblr but. :(#im mostly just confused at why it's not showing my mutual's posts #they can't see my posts andi can't see theirs and it doesn't make any sense #only reason i could possibly think of is because i blocked them on accident like a month ago but i dont? get why that would make this happen #anyways omori magical girl update i have run into a roadblock #which is that i am struggling to write the story #and that means i can't make any art for it bc i quite frankly have no idea what the fuck kind of worldbuilding there is #atp i think i might just drop the story part & just draw some fun stuff #then maybe i can come back to the story later if i feel like it #bc this wasn't intended to be a fullblown novel it was just. hehe magical girls

hello moot i have almost never interacted with ! how are you ? how's life ??

Hey!! I'm doing alright! Hope you're doing good too! (sorry for the late reply!!)

tbh I don't interact directly with more than maybe one or two people on here? However, if we seem like we're cool bc I interact with you casually, then we definitely are.

I tend to ramble and it overwhelms most people (understandably so). I think I've just found it's best that I keep to myself most of the time!

I do also love the casual mutual understanding with all the regulars in the byler tag at this point. We all have such different methods of how we express ourselves on here.

You're someone in particular that I recognize in the tag, and like yes i would definitely refer to us as moots, but i wouldn't have thought you would think that, so thank you for sending this and saying it so casually!!!!

#stranger things #byler tumblr #i feel like i don't want to get too attached to ppl personally online because it can be scary quite frankly #i'm mostly here to disassociate away from reality #which is why you'll find me full serious discussing theories 99% of the time #and then there's 1% of the time i'm in the tags here rambling all my true thoughts and it's like #girl just stfu already #no but seriously this was so random and simple and yet it had me like aww #thanks for the ask!!!
