Yooooooo the Zhongli one damnnnn

let immortal characters in genshin be horrifying. they're not human and people should recognize that!! it's way more interesting if they don't feel normal

venti forgets to breathe, sometimes. he doesn't need to - he is the air around them. his eyes are just a little too vivid if you look at him directly. he doesn't bleed when he should and he doesn't sleep, either.

xiao stays away from liyue harbor. he doesn't want to corrupt them with his karma, and he doesn't want to frighten them, either. he knows what he looks like: too-gold eyes with too-slitted pupils, ears too pointed and fangs too sharp to be human. if you look at him in the corner of your eye, black and green and red dance across his skin and reach out to you.

ei has never learned to be human. her eyes are blinding and electricity crackles over her skin. the puppet she inhabits has too-smooth skin, porcelain clear and cold to the touch. she moves too quickly, too sharply, like a bolt of lightning that cannot slow down.

zhongli forgets human customs. he speaks of events from thousands of years ago like they were yesterday and talks in long-dead languages. to be under his gaze while solidifying a contract is to feel the weight of millennia upon your back. he makes no sound when he walks and yet his steps can shake the ground.

in a game about main character syndrome god complex anime boys learning that other people have value because they’re people too, shiki is such a good foil to that. she specifically doesn’t WANT to be a person because she doesn’t like who she is, so petty and jealous and obsessed with herself, obsessed with all the ways she’s not enough. she hates herself for all the reasons joshua says humanity is worth wiping out, all the reasons megumi says humanity needs to be fixed: all of their ills (rage, hatred, bittnerness) tying back to their individuality. ultimately, what shiki hates is her individuality, everything that makes her her, everything that makes her a person. her whole arc is such a juicy exploration of that central narrative theme.

so they take her appearance and shiki does what she can to scrub the rest of shiki away from the inside out. she plays a caricature of eri, a caricature of Generically Helpful Anime Girl (WHICH IS SOOOO SUBVERSIVE AND COOL FOR A NOMURA GIRL. LIKE. LIKE!!!!!!!) which kind of kind of shows that she has a limited view of who eri really is? she’s so enamored with her and puts her on such a pedestal and is so obsessed with all her traits that shiki thinks she’s lacking, to the point that shiki kind of doesn’t think eri has an interior life. like shiki’s 15 and hasn’t fully grasped that people have interiority yet, like the rest of the 15 yos in this game,  like 15 yos in general. and she’s disgusted by her OWN interiority, disgusted by her own consciousness and the person she’s growing into at that age, so crushingly self aware, and she feels like the other girls don’t have these problems. all of these teen girls without a word keeping up a facade of not being people

Isn't it funny that most of the games in Kingdom Hearts end in tragedies, or very bittersweetly, AT BEST. And even the handful that are technically happy endings have the underlying pressure of the upcoming battle, so nothing is ever truly "outright happy."

Hello everyone. I want to promote Ahmed’s (@ahmedaldani22) GoFundMe campaign. Ahmed is 15 years old, he was born in Gaza in 2008. When his mom was pregnant with him, the Occupation dropped a phosphorus bomb near their home, and she inhaled the gas. Because of this, Ahmed was born with genetic deformities impacting the growth of his teeth and his hair. He and his family have visited doctors throughout Gaza to find a treatment, and have been recommended to get dental implants that costs around $1000 for each tooth. Now, under Israel’s current campaign of destruction against Gaza, he and his family have been displaced and forced to pay for basic necessities of life with savings that they had hoped would go to his treatment. They want to travel outside of Gaza so that he can continue to pursue medical treatment, both of which combined will cost about $50,000. They have raised $4,053 out of their $50,000 goal, they are still a long way to go. Please donate if you can, and share so others can help as well. Their campaign has been vetted by @gazavetters (#198)

Hello👋

Please take a moment to read my story.

I am Heba Al-Dahdouh. I currently live in the completely destroyed city of Gaza. Since the war on Gaza began on 7/1/2024, my family- my father Nasif, my mother Asmaa, and my siblings Khaled, Ahmad, Muhammad, and Malak-have been living in constant fear, crying, and suffering due to shrapnel, shells, and bullets.

We have no food, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools, no homes, no cleaning supplies, and no clothes. My school has been bombed, and my brother Khaled's university is now rubble, depriving us all of education. The war has forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents unsuitable for living, especially in winter.

Every day we live death, terror, and panic a thousand times because of the ongoing bombardment of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the start of the war, we sought refuge at my aunt's house, . Imagine: we have survived imminent death more than 20 times and have been displaced among shelters more than 13 times. My siblings and I have suffered from many illnesses due to malnutrition, and we need medication continuously.

If we stay in Gaza, we might lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza for a safe place. However, travel costs are extremely high. We need over $50,000 to leave Gaza. Due to exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, lack of security, the ongoing siege, and relentless bombardment, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity, with constant shelling and shrapnel flying above us? Dear compassionate friends around the world,

With your generous donations, even if small, you can save 7 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza filled with love, peace, and hope.

With my warmest regards from the city of Gaza,

Heba Al-Dahdouh.

Kingdom Hearts, must I say more

honestly its funny when really long standing fandom is starved of new content, because people start dissecting the source material in really specific ways. not in analytic way, because that was done long ago, but like in "desperately using microscope to try find very last scraps of meat" kind of way.

what i mean is that at some point i saw lotr gif set that was like "frodo + looking to left"
