One day
One day I hope people realize that Kitsunami already "broke through his programming" back by issue #56 of Idw Sonic
He had an entire mini arc where he dealt with being without Surge for the first time, and in the real world. He met Sonic and his friends directly, tried to work out what his purpose would be without Surge in his life (gave it a shot trying to devote himself to Sonic, seeing him as the next best thing after Surge). And when it was all said and done, he decided after experiencing more that at Surge's side is where he wanted to be.
As of the recent IDW issues, Kit isn't sticking with Surge "because of programming" and "because he just needs for other characters to friend him and turn him into a better person". He is at her side because he wants to be. He protects her and aids her because he cares about her, not just because he's serving the strongest guy in the room. And he's not interacting with others because he's decided not to give a shit about anyone else other than Surge (because from his pov, even the "good guys" are fake. From his pov, everyone is someone trying to lie and manipulate their way into pulling him and Surge to their side)
Kit already has decided what he wants to do with his life. And he decided it on his own. Not because of anyone else's wants or wishes. That's the whole point of his speech at the end of #56.


He's burying whatever his and Surge's past is and moving forward with his conviction to be with Surge because it's what he wants.
#sonic the hedgehog#idw sonic comics#perverted bond#surge the tenrec#kit the fennec#kitsunami the fennec#idw sonic issue 56#to be honest I actually despise the fandom's overuse of 'Starline's programming'#because they treat Surge and Kit as people whose entire selves have been dominated and controlled by a set of code that makes them as robots#Essentially they treat Starline's hypnotism and 'coding' as a strict set of rules that's hard af to break#When the truth is that they're more of a set of heavy suggestions and guidelines to fall back on when they have nothing else to return to or#nothing else to compare to their own experiences#You can visually see in the comic as they ''diverge from their programming'' simply because it clashes with their personal wants/feelings#(For instance‚ how after actually meeting Surge in Imposter Syndrome‚ he is never again the dutiful fox that would do anything she asked#ever and the happiest he could be about handing his life to her on a silver platter no matter how she treats him. rather‚ he falls back on#serving her because he has no other purpose to fall back on‚ but he performs it unenthusiastically without receiving positive reinforcement#and to the bare minimum‚ as if he's just doing his job)#This topic is a bit nuanced‚ but I think IDW is less focused on them fully 'breaking their programming' as a robot storyline might go#and more focused on them solidifying just what it is they want to do with their lives and how they live it#Many people miss that Kitsunami has had his defining moment and knows what he wants to do with his life now because they don't think it's#possible for him to live a future he wants/needs unless he 100% rejects everything Starline did to him and Surge and chooses a purpose#completely separated from any 'programming'#And I'm sorry but I think some of you need to ask if a future as a good boy fox hero who gets entirely new friends and family outside of#Surge and is barely associated with her and is also just a normal sweet guy is something that he actually wants/is projected to receive#or if YOU specifically decided what's best for him. Bec#Because 'If I was in his position obviously I would want X' or 'If he was my kid I would want him to become like X for the sake of his own#happiness'#It's fine if that's your headcanon or your au and you own it. But recognize that this current Kit likes who he is and he knows what he wants#to be. He's a smart fox‚ and he doesn't need anyone out there to pledge to save him and fix him. He doesn't want fixing. He wants to spend#the rest of his days with Surge making her happy (because it makes him happy). He doesn't want for himself what everyone else wants for him.

Alright, part 2 of The Way of Kings has excepts from a letter for its epigraph section, so l'm just going to collect all those fragments here and see if I can figure out what they're about. Fair warning, I don't know a ton about wider Cosmere stuff, so l'll probably fail.
Chapters 12-28 epigraphs:
*Minor Wind and Truth spoilers below!*
Old friend, I hope this missive finds you well.
Though, as you are now essentially immortal, I would guess that wellness on your part is something of a given.
I realize that you are probably still angry. That is pleasant to know. Much as your perpetual health, I have come to rely on you dissatisfaction with me. It is one of the cosmere's great constants, I should think.
Let me first assure you that the element is quite safe. I have found a good home for it. I protect its safety like I protect my own skin, you might say.
You do not agree with my quest. I understand that, so much as it is possible to understand someone with whom I disagree so completely.
Might I be quite frank? Before, you asked why I was so concerned. It is for the following reason:
Ati was once a kind and generous man, and you saw what became of him. Rayse, on the other hand, was among the most loathsome, crafty, and dangerous individuals I had ever met.
He holds the most frightening and terrible of all of the Shards. Ponder on that for a time, you old reptile, and tell me if your insistence on nonintervention holds firm. Because I assure you, Rayse will not be similarly inhibited.
One need only look at the aftermath of his brief visit to Sel to see proof of what I say.
In case you have turned a blind eye to that disaster, know that Aona and Skai are both dead, and that which they held has been Splintered. Presumably to prevent anyone from rising up to challenge Rayse.
You have accused me of arrogance in my quest. You have accused me of perpetuating my grudge against Rayse and Bavadin. Both accusations are true.
Neither point makes the things I have written to you here untrue.
I am being chased. Your friends of the Seventeenth Shard, I suspect. I believe they’re still lost, following a false trail I left for them. They’ll be happier that way. I doubt they have any inkling what to do with me should they actually catch me.
If anything I have said makes a glimmer of sense to you, I trust that you’ll call them off. Or maybe you could astound me and ask them to do something productive for once.
For I have never been dedicated to a more important purpose, and the very pillars of the sky will shake with the results of our war here. I ask again. Support me. Do not stand aside and let disaster consume more lives. I’ve never begged you for something before, old friend.
I do so now.
Obviously, no convenient section telling us who this is from. It seems to be from Wit/Hoid, and I think "the element" could be Wit's Dawnshard, which he carries inside him, alongside his skin (he "protects [the element] like [he] protects [his own skin]).
As for the intended recipient, I have no idea. Assuming “the element” is what I think it is, they were somehow involved in Wit taking his Dawnshard up again before coming to Roshar. They’re also not an original Shard, as Wits says they are “now essentially immortal” (emphasis added), implying that they haven’t been immortal for long. This rules out Edgli, who was really the only one I could think of. Wonderful.
As stated above, this is probably completely off.
#stfu kor#i invite anyone who knows more than me to dunk on my ignorance and tell me what it actually means#plz don’t just link coppermind though I’m trying to do this without it#stormlight spoilers#the stormlight archive#the way of kings#way of kings spoilers#wok spoilers#wat spoilers#wind and truth spoilers#again real minor but still#wok epigraphs#epigraph#epigraph collection

the latest teaser alongside the new version of undercover have really made the concept of haruka dying hit home... devastating 😭 how am I meant to keep going with my day if i cant listen to this boy sing about his mommy issues in that anguished voice of his. its so over💔💔💔
#not art#i talk!!!#milgram#spoilers#i know i dont post anything about milgram but i had to speak my truth of needing haruka to live for the sake of more songs from him#like. muu guilty haruka guilty much but at the same time how am i expected to live if there isnt another song#just going on and on over his mommy issues what am i going to do if i don't see this codependant mentally ill murderer boy sing💔#hes hes still alive guys trust trust he xouldnt have possibly died😁😁😁#speaking to god looking up in the sky... actually i dont think haruka is going to heaven but lets assume we all share the same afterlife#harukas soul about to enter the pearly gates and i say. god sir look he may be guilty af but. hes just like me fr let his attempt fail#you see god he cant die... however will the people SURVIVE if this boy does not sing anymore#outside of that goofy perspective i actually find this to be such an interesting choice#very intrigued by how the enviroment will further shift with the deaths that have occurred#it leaves you thinking how things would have been with different verdicts#anyway god let him live how are we expected to live without OUR WATER

sometimes the takes I see in the Harley Quinn tag are just beyond stupid.
but fun fact, this is a Straight moment. Cause there's actually just no universes where they read as Gay. None at all. A provable fact.

Batgirl Adventures
c'mon is it gay to be able to Play with your bestie in an implied sexual manner? totally not. Big Straight moment.

Batgirl Adventures
Love calling my straight bestie, as a straight, bay-bee. Nothing to see here, just hets being hets.
Ladies, is it gay to wax poetry about the woman you're going to / just had wild, loud sex with?

"But there is nothing to say.
Because you already know my heart.
I showed you everything--the darkest corners of myself--and you still came back.
What else is love?"
Poison Ivy (2022 - ) #9

"This is my favorite time. When there's absolutely no reason to get up... and I can watch the light change as it moves across your face."
Poison Ivy (2022 - ) #9

DC Love Is Love (2017)
Just some readable platonic heterosexuals in the 2017 Love Is Love comic. (Straight rep matters <3 and they are that. Straight.)



Dark Knights Of Steel #5 - #8
Saying you'd bury an army for her? And then kissing her chapters later? Uh, Het Behavior 🙄
Just a couple of straight besties getting *checks notes* married.


Injustice: Year Zero #8
Calling your bestie your Home, clear and obvious straight behavior.

Harley Quinn (2021 - ) #27
Calling your new bestie "Cherie" and kissing her after she cuts off a loser's hand for you <3 only readably straight behavior.


DC Comics: Bombshells #42
This? Also Straight.

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures EP 67 "Branching Out"
"Harley Quinn's Girlfriend" FRIEND
Case closed.
Just a couple of readably platonic, heterosexual besties.
Ladies, is it gay to have numerous Pride Covers for Pride Month's DC Pride comics together?

DC Pride: Connecting Covers for Harley Quinn (2021 - ) #31 and Poison Ivy (2022 - ) #13 | Artist: Claire Roe


DC Pride (2023)
Gold Foil Variant Cover | Artist: Jen Bartel
Wraparound Variant Cover | Artist: Gabriel Picolo

Harley Quinn (2021 - ) #4 | Pride Card Stock Variant • Artist: Kris Anka


DC Pride 2021
Artist: Jim Lee
Artist: Jen Bartel


DC Pride 2022
Cover B; Swaby Wraparound Variant | Artist: Joshua Sway
Cover D Incentive 1:25; Foil Variant | Artist: Jen Bartel

The DC Book of Pride | Cover by Paulina Ganucheau
We're just imagining all the subtext, coding and flat out confirmations.
We're the illiterate ones ig. Clearly, that's all Straight behavior.
There's nothing in any universe they've ever appeared in that actually reads as Gay, it's all just Bruce Timm and co being horny and thinking Ladies Kissing Hot, and that's IT. all the years worth of content that's not even written by Timm, Conner or Palmiotti is IRRELEVANT!
If you consume any of their comics and read them as Gay, that's on you!
#this is a joke#they read as Gay because#shocker#they are#and they fuck in a gay way frequently#<3#some of you have just looked at a handful of their panels & clips and decided you already know it all#without reading their actual content together#and you think you sound so sophisticated and wise and you're just calling out the Truth that we're all happily ignoring#but really#baby#you look and sound stupid. ridiculously uneducated about anything to do with their arc. it's depressing for you.#not us though#cause we're thriving just like Harlivy is 💖☺️#harley quinn#harleen quinzel#poison ivy#pamela isley#harlivy#dc comics

it’s crazy how some people act like someone’s gender identity intrinsically determines how they act . or how people treat all people ‘belonging’ to a gender identity as a monolith . baby girl that is first and foremost a human person
#like we all know gender essentialism is bad . but also i don’t think people have actually unpacked their bioessentialist beliefs actually#it’s just . the way people act like someone’s gender is a determiner of their behaviour . it just kinda feels like a roundabout way of#reinforcing the gender binary and exclusionary politics#u can talk about how cishetnormativity and patriarchy encourages people of certain gender identities to act in a certain way without acting#like that behaviour taught to them is inherent to their fucking dna#like no as a nb transmasc person i don’t actually feel safe going to ur ‘cis men dni’ queer get togethers bc what does a ‘cis man’ look like#to you exactly . how do you decide who and who isn’t a cis man . and even then if u magically know whether the person is a Dreaded Cis Man#i don’t particularly want to go to a get together that has decided that cis men are uniquely capable of Posing an Issue as compared to other#queer folk . the sad truth is that literally anyone including a queer can be the most annoying (and dangerous!) bitch alive i’m sorry#like I Get It . in a way . i get why there is a tendency to create spaces like this (especially when it comes to lifting up more#marginalised voices) but idk man excluding people is a slippery slope! and also gives power to people to determine ‘how’ queer you are!#which sucks!#jay rants

do yall remember when a titan destroyed a child's town and they turned into a war criminal as a result?
yeah, stop hating on Gabi you little shits.
oh you thought I was talking about Eren?
Funny you'd think that since Isayama literally put that girl child there to show how the cycle of abuse works. The abused becomes the abuser. Gabi is no different from Eren, except she can actually fight. So she's actually better than him.
#gabi braun#attack on titan#shingeki no kyojin#eren yeager#omg she killed sasha#and sasha was part of the attack destroying her hometown#what was a child soldier trying to prove to the world that her people were decent supposed to do#some of you act like you fell out of a coconut tree#too many people in that anime died without knowing the truth#sasha actually learned the truth and almost got engaged#her death was hard to watch but made sense

Thinking of blorbos again.
Didn’t include LQR or LWJ because adoptive daddy LWJ would win too easily. And if I don’t include him on grounds that he’s not a biological father, I can’t include LQR either.
Of course adoptive & foster fathers are 10000% valid dads, and sometimes better than the kid’s biological one. So definitely not knocking adoption or fostering. Just don’t want poll results massively skewed in favour of one of the main characters! I just wanna run this poll focusing on some of the other dad characters lol
Reblog for bigger sample size, to support your fave DILF, and because that’s what we do on tunglr dot com
Will be making a MILF version too of course :3
#mdzs#the untamed#jin guangyao#jin zixuan#jin guangshan#wen ruohan#jiang fengmian#mdzs DILFs#i could have put wen chao in this poll because he’s definitely fucked#and likely sown a few seeds without knowing or caring#OOOOH au in which wen chao is actually jin guangshan’s son#but his mother was too terrified to tell WRH the truth#wrh doesn’t notice anything’s up until meng yao arrives#and he sees them in the same room and goes HUH#poll#polls

#personal#internets#at this rate I've unfollowed both of the kinda.. 'controvercial' blogs I've been following#since there was a good chunk of actually good takes about how bad media is now and society and braindead internet 'activists' that-#-had it too good in their western countries and NEEDED to invent the reason to bully and excile people#could honestly resonate with it despite some other posts causing genuine pain. but mostly about terribly handled media#like you know that thing when corporations do terrible ass rep to pretend that they care for minorities#or artificially fabricate online backlash against their new actors to show investors that people show interest for their product because-#-of all the clicks on their article?#like discussion of this kind sorta keeps me sober#as a person with BPD I get contaminated by opinions VERY easily and as an autist I will believe everything if it is put together 'logically#that's why I HAVE to be exposed to every possible opinion so I am forced to make out my own rather than being swayed anywhere#but at this point those blog became kinda.. bad? like they don't just have 'opinions' but they hate just to hate#but now my dashboard and recs are full of exclusively things I can fully agree with and I am scared that it will rot my brain#like.. emotions are always the same. where is the 'wait WHAT' effect? where is anger? where is self-reflection?#but ALSO I realized that 'those' blogs are no better than those western 'warriors' I despise and they become narrow-minded too in the end#they advertise themselves as 'open to debate' only to always sway debate into trying to win and not into actually discovering the truth#I cannot trust any side because they're all narrow-minded and hostile but I cannot trust people without any side because-#-they're fence-sitters without morals that side with the winner#is there a secret third thing? like is there a way to not take a side but to still HAVE ideals and opinions?#my problem is that if I am not exposed to people that trash everything I value I forget why AM I valuing [a thing] to BEGIN with#and that won't do will it

i think house could be cuddy's weed smoking girlfriend actually,
#hatecrimes md#not an original thought maybe but idc i truly dont think he could be wilsons weed smoking girlfriend#he causes too much stress#the stress he causes cuddy is different bc their actual relationship outside of work isnt so reliant on their constant discommunication#with wilson their freindship is built on never saying what they really mean so houses position as weed smoking girlfreind is tainted#who knows if hes actually telling the truth#as is the god given duty of the weed smoking girlfriend#which also to be fair much of house's character in general is built on repression and obfustication and hiding behind various behaviors#specifically in order to hide what hes really thinking/feeling at any given time#(which yes comes back as self-sabotage when he does have an actual emotionally charged sincere moment but in a much less intentional way)#anyway with cuddy his moments of uncharacteristic bluntness carry more of a hopeful tone#compared to the ones with wilson which give pure gut wrenching doomed yaoi (i love you after the outlet thing + the whole car scene + etc)#the weed smoking girlfriend's job is to deliver gut wrenching truths in a blunt/sincere way#(blunt way lol)#the weed smoking girlfriend's observations are a call to action: they actively de-obfusticate the situation#and theres no way house is ever going to be that honest with wilson bc it would call for the restructuring of their entire friendship#not until the finale anyway#ughhh what am i talking about#idiots#cant housepost without the idiots tag either#WHY CANT I USE COMMAS IN TAGS WTF????#hate

#my art#sketchbook#irish magical girls#the truth is I'm probably never gonna get the 'accuracy' I'd like incorporating irish myth and folklore into this story idea#at least not without like...... getting a celtic studies degree LMAO and idk if I'm ready for all that#the last thing I need is another celtic tree zodiac moment I'm still so embarrassed about that dlfsajktdsfs ahhaa#it started as something like tokyo mew mew but instead of endangered animals it was irish deities#then it turned into something more like warehouse 13#now it's not really any of those things#in fact it's been pretty solidly burner-ed until I can figure out what to actually do with it#but the protagonist is the one in the middle/on the left her name is Dani Ryan and I love her :') butch jock himbo tomboy golden retriever#the one on the bottom is her friend who does not have a name and the one at the top is her rival (and love interest? 👀)#she doesn't have a name either but I think she did at one point#there are other girls too but these three have the most consistent designs#I really wanted to play with a huge ensemble cast! there was originally gonna be 12...#... one for each tree in the celtic tree zodiac that I now know is fake :'')#.............................

so deeply in hell
#literally crazy how my entire sense of the landscape of my life got blown to smithereens a week ago and i have to be normal and have#meetings and be responsible for schoolwork and preparing people for the retreat and orienting my new colleague to our work duri ng her first#week when i am triggered by every little thing and my chest feels like it’s collapsing with the weight of how badly i need to sob. lole#purrs#like i think it is actually fucking over for me. i think i am going to end it. (not my life but something fundamentally important to it 😻👎💔#) and i have to be so fucking normal about that when it is the worst most painful thing in the world. and i can’t tell if that’s what#actually has to happen or if it’s my brain fucking destroying me but the way i am in full blown panic mode knowing i have irreversibly#damaged this thing that gives my life structure and meaning and i have to confront that truth for real and act on it in a few days. LOL#like it’s sooooo crazy. the thing that.. like i haven’t been able to without… and i ruined it. by needing too much too loudly ummmm 😍😍😍🤪🤪🤪😵😵#delete later

idk i feel like so much discourse could be easily minimized if people learned to say "i think" instead of "it is"
#like “i think this is a bad game” is way less abrasive/aggressive than “this is a bad game”#do u know where im going w this like#it's literally 2 extra words and it could avoid like 99% of confrontation#ofc there would still be people who are like “omg how can u hate smth i like ur trash” but idk i feel like so much of this discourse u see#on twt especially#is like ? just people being deliberately aggressive abt stuff they dont like to antagonise others and then going “its just my opinion”#and it's hard to read tone online so it's often hard for me (and im sure for others ?? idk actually) to read whether or not sm1 is being#like. just sharing what they think vs them trying to bait out people who will defend smth they like#idk ive been trying to find ffxiv people to follow bc getting back into the game and finally being confident in my art to draw for it also#has me looking for ppl to follow but i wanna avoid the big livetweet first time experiencers and unfortunately that leaves#a lot of people who are afraid of dawntrail/unhappy with the current patch quests#of which i am neither and i also dont want to log on to the internet every day just to see ppl shitting on things u know ?#and i have seen a LOT of like#'x sucked' and 'fandom lacks critical reading skills' and whatnot#but then u see what theyre talking abt and all theyre doing is shitting on the game itself or going 'x expansion was mid'#like . if u stopped phrasing ur opinions as objective fact i feel like maybe ud avoid half those arguments id k???#just words#SORRY im talkative today the truth is i worked on a drawing veyr hard and i do not have the strength to colour it but it will not look good#without colour and i feel like i cant move on without it so i went and replayed shadowbringers instead and cried a lot#and now i have lots of icarus feelings again#WOW loiok at me writing an essay out here i overshare so much im sorry

Man why did I even go to therapy today when all I was gonna do is have a breakdown about my dad at the end of the day anyway
#sorry have to vent it’s the childhood trauma of my dad never keeping his bargains and me always having to pay the emotional price#also me having to deal with my stupid ass parents bickering and getting caught in the middle of their pettiness towards each other bc#neither of them can let go of their pride even for me#and it always falls on me to parse through who is telling the truth when neither of them actually do because neither of them know how to#look beyond their own anger at someone else to do the right and fair thing#and I’m fucking sick of it!!! i can’t even receive a goddamn gift without this shit coming up#and no all of this has to come up only AFTER I’ve had therapy today!!!
