#being imperfect

[bruciemilf]

“Bruce is emotionally incompetent and can’t step outside his own morality” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“Dick is extremely stubborn and thinks he’s right all the time” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“Jason has hypocritical tendencies” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“ Tim is entitled and doesn’t think about people when seeking results, and often acts uncaring” yeah it’s a character flaw.

“Damian is rude and bratty” yeah, it’s a character flaw.

Also, some people may not even regard everything listed above as flaws.

Having negative traits allows incredible flexibility within your characters, what makes them intriguing, what makes them easy to relate to. If you want to write people, then write people. But they can’t be good and clean all the time.

#bruce wayne #dc comics #dc #batman #jason todd #dick grayson #tim drake #I’m really glad we’re growing out of the ‘my favorite is flawless because they’re a good person who has done both wrong ever’ phase #you can absolutely enjoy media that has imperfections and blemishes. these characters should be flawed. they should get to be shitty people #sometimes. they should get a chance to grow and extend and evolve as individuals. because I think that’s what we need to see more #it’s not about being a shitty person. it’s about STAYING a shitty person #text #meta #batfamily

Happy Valentine's Day! (and this blog's first post anniversary!)

#poorly drawn mdzs #better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #Woah...it's been a whole *year* since I took the leap and uploaded my 'first attempt' art. #It's outdated now but it holds a special place in my heart for the fact it started all of this off. #Calling this 'poorly-drawn' was always about accepting that my art was going to be imperfect and messy - and doing it anyways! #There has been a staggering number of times I have drawn something I almost didn't upload because I didn't think it was 'good enough' #only for someone to say they liked it - or that it made them laugh. And it has helped me realize - #-The worst critic for my work has always been myself. If I listened to it all the time...well we would not be here now B'*) #And now that I have dabbled in other fandoms I can truly see how lucky was to start out with the MXTX fans. #The supportive messages and tags have truly been a guiding force toward my artistic and self improvement. #I really can't describe how grateful I am. #Thank you for seeing something worth rooting for when I was just figuring things out. #Thank you for being sweeter than the candy I have strategically hidden in the nooks and crannies of this house. #But watch out! If you forget to find them we will get ants. #I remembered to not hide chocolate in the bed this year. Yes I know it melted last time. Yes it did stain. I'm still sorry. #Thank you for loving me regardless <3 Even if it looked like I shit the bed real bad.

under-realized horror concept from Danny Phantom #714298: ecto-acne.

In the show it's basically a joke. Haha! Vlad's life-ruining ghostly medical disaster... was acne! The proto-portal accident gave him ghost pimples! This is relateable humor for teens!

But damn when you think about it. There is ectoplasm, the very essence of something dead, rolling and roiling under your skin. Your living body is trying to reject this dead thing that is part of you; your skin bubbles, warps, pops under the strain of your body trying to reject itself, your body trying to force this otherworldly thing out of you. Your skin is twisting and cracking as it slowly kills you, your body destroying itself trying to get it out.

But from the outside sure, haha acne, right

#Danny Phantom #played right the effects of ecto-acne could be truly horrifying #evidence of the failed experiment; the imperfect portal #Vlad dying slowly from effects like the rejection of an organ #and being killed slowly by the imperfect integration of ectoplasm and living flesh sealing that integration. that transformation

A part of me still can't fathom how collectively and proudly stupid people were during the Heard vs Depp trial. Like supporting that man was just a trend or based from a recollection you had of him in the 90's. No brain was used

#im still shocked #ah being deemed an imperfect victim bc she was alive and fought back was insane #women defending that man was not a let down because some of yall are dumb but it did left a bad taste in my mouth #also how they were discrediting ah bycaccusing her of doing everything jd did irl #insanity #amber heard

Arrows my guy you cannot type "Dead Baby Pit" as a tag and not explain

Oh. You know.

The Dead Baby Pit <3

#self #dewp #answered #it's what the hollow knight fandom calls the abyss #because #yeah #it is the dead baby pit #where all the imperfect baby vessels are tossed to die #anyway grimwalkers handshake vessels #being made for a specific purpose with all your predecessors having being killed off and tossed in a pile for being imperfect

to be clear, I think Rose Tyler being an often-selfish character is great. I think it's great because real women are selfish. Real women get petty. Real women hear their ex boyfriend say he's going out with a mutual acquaintance and get unfairly jealous and real women then say things like "she's a bit big" when they shouldn't and they have no right. Real women can be monsters, and Rose Tyler is relatable and I love how she is written and I love her, thanks for listening

#Rose Tyler is so imperfect #she is SO FLAWED and sometimes you get mad at her and that's exactly how all characters should be written #she is compassionate and she is loyal and she is SELF*LESS* to a FAULT sometimes #but she is ALSO selfish #gloriously human #she's SUPPOSED to be the most ordinary girl in the world and you know what? ordinary girls are jerks #I would know. I AM one #write more ordinary girls Doctor Who writers #write them please I'll be your best friend #dw #doctor who #rose tyler #rose marion tyler #whovian #text post #doverstar's thoughts #listen this is not to say that I think being jealous and angry and petty and rude and selfish is GOOD #I'm saying it's good writing to portray FLAWS #because those are FLAWS and people should not be content to be that way #this is not Turning Red

the transfem blu scout blew up so i decided to make more of them :33 part 2 is being worked on already btwwww don’t worry

#i like to think all of the mercs are imperfect copies #so fun fact! #blu spy is only around 6 years older than scout (physically) but he’s still her biological father #but that’s difficult to explain so they jus say they’re siblings #spy does look a bit old for being around scouts age but in his defense. he was in a fridge for a year. he’s a bit messed up #smub art #tf2 #team fortress 2 #team fortress two #tf2 medic #tf2 scout #tf2 pyro #tf2 spy #tf2 heavy #transfem scout

i've discovered in the past few months that i actually really enjoy socializing and listening to people, and that people like what i have to say and how i say it and my sense of humor (when i'm comfortable and familiar enough with them to be able to be able to be quick witted in conversations). however i'm unfortunately also extremely unsocialized due to a childhood spent alone almost 24/7 and often emotionally abused and neglected, so whenever i stumble (which i frequently do like a baby deer on ice) i default to word vomit, stock photo formulaic responses i've clearly rehearsed before, and that awful kind of defensive, insincere irony that makes it obvious i struggle to trust people and don't feel comfortable in my own skin. and i'm slowly improving and getting better at recognizing it and practicing so i can be more relaxed and self-assured and charismatic, not because i'm trying to be but because i'm genuinely confident and content with being myself, but it's fucking mortifying having to learn and catch up with like 20 years of experience that a lot of the people i talk to had when they were young enough for people to dismiss it as just the process of growing up and being allowed to be immature and make mistakes because you're literally a child (thank fuck for fellow neurodivergent people or i'd feel incredibly lonely despite my newfound joy in human interaction).

#🐉 #its so exciting finally getting to talk to people and realizing that im actually capable of being likable and interesting even when im #imperfect and weird and make mistakes and sometimes because of it especially if i let myself be unbothered and easygoing about #my weirdness and self aware of my flaws #but jesus christ im so embarrassed constantly by how much i struggle with things that other people around me #navigate with at the very least the appearance of elegance and expertise #i feel like a performing animal in a troupe of ballet dancers sometimes

coming at this "rediscovering a style I like" exploration from the opposite direction this time...

#I feel like there's often a specific stage where my sketches come to rest #before I start endlessly tweaking and reworking and fixing and obsessing over the proportions and details being Just So #and eventually end up with something that's arguably more ''''correct'''' #but doesn't have nearly the same looseness and energy that it started with... #and I feel like maybe that stage is where my style WANTS to be #and the anxiety over polishing away all the imperfections isn't letting it be there :/ #I'm gonna try inking and coloring this without making any other major ''corrections'' and see what I think #artbyrom

Man, I used to feel sad whenever someone self deprecated, but more and more recently, I've just found myself getting increasingly frustrated. Not at the person self-deprecating per se, but rather the fact the circumstances reached that point, y'know?

I hate that we're taught we're terrible people if we can't keep up with every little thing or that what we do isn't worth the effort just because you're not doing that thing every day or doing it enough to keep up with rapid consumption and just like... all these stupid little circumstances.

Quit pushing yourself around. The outside world does that enough already. You're way way cooler than your brain ever makes you out to be, I promise

#hat talks #being alive means being inherently imperfect #you cant do everything #and thats ok #you are loved and respected very much #even if thats hard to see sometimes #create at your own pace #realize that you wont be able to keep up with everyones emotional demands #thats ok

orv epilogue talk

initially the explanation behind the fourth wall bothered me a bit because I was fine with it as is… a literal fourth wall the dokkaebi king isn’t really much of a character so like why should I care about this idk…

but then I realized. the point isn’t what it is but rather why

the dokkaebi king only became the wall because of han sooyoung’s wish to protect kim dokja. during orv the [fourth wall] skill saves his life countless times, but at the same time it dulls all his emotions so he can't fully connect with everyone else

that’s just the literal events that happened. symbolically, han sooyoung’s wish was expressed through her writing twsa for him, and by escaping into the fiction of that world, kim dokja was able to survive. at the same time, using fiction to cope with reality like that has him feeling disconnected from the world and everyone else in it… and that’s what led to him making the 49/51 decision he sees his place as just a reader—an outsider to everyone else's story. because that's how he survived

so maybe han sooyoung’s desperate wish to save him back then also doomed him..? but that really was all she could do then...

#orv #orv spoilers #han sooyoung #kim dokja #struggling to put this coherently as usual #also this parallels lee sookyung really well… #writing that book was her trying to protect kdj #it was the only way she knew how. the only way she could #and kdj was saved from being known as a murderer… #but being known as a murderer’s son still doomed him #imperfect salvation born from a pure love… #well. that’s kim dokja’s whole thing isn’t it #orvposting

u mean to tell me graham is SO insecure he cant handle having ANY imperfections or flaws and HAS to be on top or else he completely loses all mental stability

AND overworks himself to the point of PASSING OUT FROM EXHAUSTION after battling the toons because hes so desperate to win

AND is so invested in hustle culture that he disregards his physical/mental health and bases a lot of his self-worth on being the best employee

AND has burnt himself out as a result (based on his disciplinary records)

YET THERES AN INSANE LACK OF GRAHAM ANGST IN THE COMMUNITY?

#toontown #toontown corporate clash #ttcc #graham payser #graham ness payser #pacesetter #BULLSHIT I SAY #guys im in such an angst mood lately AND I CRAVE GRAHAM ANGST SPECIFICALLY #theres sm potential for it this guy is so fucked up dont u see... #ik hes silly and fun to poke at #but URGHHHHH I NEED ANGST #ive wanted this since i got into ttcc . #as soon as i saw graham being super cocky and overlyconfident i was like. wheres the insecurity ur DEFINITELY insecure #and he is bc he cant handle having any flaws or imperfections #and feels like he NEEDS to be perfect and bases his self worth on PERFECTION #DO U NOT SEEEE HOW FUCKED THAT IS #UGHHHHHHHHHHHH #i hope this all makes sense . #not enough ppl talk abt this and it makes me feel like im insane
