Tragic! Gorgeous game with extremely moving premise deathly afflicted with 2011 dialogue writing

#playing to the moon with kal and i cannnnot stand the protagonists jc #like i remember there being a plot point about ethical questioning of their corporation with protests etc #so i am PRAYING that their irony poisoned attitude gets dissected and dismantled in the story #but so far it is very grating. in a way that actively distracts and takes away from the emotional beats of the story #which is doubly annoying because eva DOES have small moments where it seems like she connects with johnny on a human level #but they never go anywhere. #like kal said ''it would be better if they were either way better people or a lot worse'' #this way it's just. annoying

[meownotgood]

this is out of nowhere but today I just feel like saying thank you to everyone who interacts with me or sends me asks or says nice things about my work... I'm truly so grateful for the community I've built here. I'm happy there are people who can enjoy what I write. I'm giddy every time someone sends me an ask and wants to talk to me about aki

#I realized that I think I totally forgot about my blog's one year anniversary... #it's been well over a year at this point lol #maybe I did post something but I... cannot remember... #either way... know that I am very grateful... #even if I don't have the time to reply to your ask #I promise you it brought me a smile #kisses and hugs for everyone #let's continue to talk about a fictional man together

Never have I been more grateful that time travel exists in the X-Men universe.

#marvel #x-men 97 #spoilers #...don't read my tags XD #most of the spoilers will be down here #i liked the x-men cartoon since i was a kid in the 90s #but i can't lie i mostly watched it for specific characters #if an episode didn't have any of those characters involved the chances of me enjoying it went down significantly #wasn't universal but a pretty darn good bet you know? #they gave me morph back for which i am grateful #and rogue has been my Best Girl TM for decades #but i swear i would be developing a sudden loss of interest after the latest episode if not for the whole #'this sort of thing almost never sticks in comics' and we literally saw cable right before crap hit the fan #now maybe it won't be time travel #maybe there's some other comic book story that could be used here that i'm unfamiliar with #(i know very little in regards to x-men comics - my heart resides with the batfam) #but either way being Old and Jaded is seriously working in my favor right now so i'll take it XD #(the end totally got me though like uuuuuuuuuuugh noooooooooo whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy *cries*)

Honestly though I think it’s really a bad sign when I look at Shin Tsukimi and literally feel like he’s a self insert 😩

#the klock keeps ticking #yttd #i wanna replay yttd so bad but i also like Gotta play other stuff with the time i have akskks #but yeah the brainrot this specific character has given me idk if I ever really talked about it but it was BAD #i like obsessively played the game in like 3 days and it was not a good idea lol but just like shin #i had to take like a week to recover from this guy cuz i couldnt stop thinking about him and how hes just like me fr #first off just the very inconsistent personality hes got going on that is very me he has these different personalities he wears to cope with #all the traumatic shit happening hes both so helpless its comical and so manipulative its terrifying #and idk its really interesting how like good and bad he is at being manipulative like hes very smart and can analyze weaknesses and lie so #good not even he knows the truth but hes also grasping at straws he doesnt think things through at all #like the second main game he just didnt prepare at all hes fumbling his way through everything its going so bad #he just wants to go home he wants to outdo the game makers but hes being used by them so bad he wants it to STOP #and its just the way that like. it hits so hard cuz you know hes really not a bad person not at all he doesnt want any of this hes just #being horribly manipulated and doing whatever he can to survive but its also really scary how #well hes able to lie and manipulate and claw his way through but hes also weaker than a grade schooler #and you never forget that either and as much as he cheated his way through he still failed it was all just a cheap trick in the end #and all of this hits very hard like his personality is eerily similar to mine and just the way he thinks and acts #cuz im the same like im weak and a dweeb who likes funny cats but im also emotionally detached and observant and selfish #but where it hits the hardest is his relationship with midori like oooof that one was too real just like #the first person who was ever his friend was horribly abusive and treated him like a child and didnt respect any boundaries #and he just got sick pleasure out of seeing shin be upset and he was like. a groomer #and shin was fucking relieved when he died but also kept his scarf and adopted his personality to survive #and still goes by sou after ch2 and the scene that gets me the most is when shin ai is asked about his relationship with midori #and you can just SEE how horrified shin is because his deepest shame his abuse is being shared to everyone without his consent #and hes reliving it all in that moment and literally seeing who he used to be experiencing the abuse #he just curls into himself and like covers his ears and pulls his hair thats literally what i do AAAAAA #im just so grateful for the direction they took this character kokichi ouma wishes he was shin tsukimi so bad #and yeah just like damn. its scary how similar i am to shin like damn i really am going through it huh oof #I LOVE HIM I LOVE HIM I WILL DEFEND HIM WITH MY LIFE HE DID ALL OF THAT STUFF YOUR HONOR BUT LISTENNNN #have you considered that hes cute and smart and weird and maybe just needs friends who arent assholes

Girls when the end of Sketchbook Week fills them with a melancholic yet unimaginable gratefulness and a contradictory nostalgia for the present moment. Girls when the feeling of community that was already there was enhanced by an event and they're emotional over people on their phone

#you guys. fucking broke me #like yeah I KNEW everyone here was awesome and kind and sweet and talented #but there's something about the organized coming together of it #it feels like the internet equivalent of everyone accepting to hang out together outside of just seeing each other in school/work #to everyone who commented/reblogged my works or just interracted in some way with me during this week #I hope you know how incredibly grateful i am. I hope you know I think of you as a friend (ESPECIALLY the mutuals) #I've never taken more comfort in the saying 'shows end. But fandoms last forever' #but I hope you know you can reach out even when you no longer think too much about hilda #I'm just. so humbled. Like this common interest brought all these amazing people together. Now we can stick by each other #even when there's no longer this common denominator #(which is going to take me a WHILE to leave behind either way don't know about you) #anyway. yeah. I'm happy to share these moments of my life with you people. you are alright [I say as I bawl my eyes out] #wife speaks #not hilda

Arthur/eames song rec: born to beg by the National

Oh nonnie... goddamn. This made me feel things.... the instrumentals? The dotty, constellation sort of quality to it? It felt like a goodbye and a hello kiss at a train station or an airport, like a hug from behind and a whisper in your mind, teakettle love, i'd do anything (for you) - thank you, thank you for this rec, its perfect!!!

#feel free to send more my way #i am profoundly in my feels #i am picturing arthur and eames #one hugging the other from behind #on their balcony #either drinking coffee at midnight or having a smoke in the morning #or an indulgent scotch at two in the afternoon #dressed in bedsheets and socks only #swaying to real or imagined music #cheeks pressed to cheek #having one of those moments #just #you know #those quiet moments where you look at your whole life #heart in your throat #and it is maybe three minutes of ordinary serenity #and you dare not speak because your voice will crack #but you're so utterly grateful for every damn second of it #every moment of adversity and ache was worth these sublime moments #like a hello or a see you later #a kiss #a cup of coffee shared together #in another life that you may not have gotten to have #these moments are priceless #and for men who steal for a living #they would do anything for them #ooooooof #having feelings #inception #arthur x eames

sorry to ffxivlovepost always anyway Man the way the devs & game did so good in making an mc that is Basically a blank-slate for the players, and there's so many opportunities to make your oc However you like but. the game itself adds so much story and character to that blank-slate guy. amazing

#⋯ ꒰ა starry thoughts ໒꒱ *·˚ #⋯ ꒰ა ffxiv ໒꒱ *·˚ #i think abt this a lot. and also a lot of other ffxiv stuff LMFAO #it's amazing ..... drk is a huge example of this i think #bcs it plays into the guilt and whatnot the wol feels and all that. spectacular #endwalker !!!!! shadowbringers!!! the way the game uses the concept of hope is just always so beautiful and fascinating to me #and yeah bunch of games may have like. mc you create & design but not always can you like. ehvejfhsjf idk how to explain LOL #it is 4 pm i woke up 2 hours ago but priorly woke at 7 am after havingn a rlly. weird sleep. #to which my twin told me 'i wont tell u what time it is' as we went to sleep so it def was Really late #bcs we were going thru re2 and she was also playing games on steam i've been telling her to play #(to which i got her fav characters right and knew fr how'd she'd like the game LMFAO. twins amiright.) #actually that is also smth so fascinating to me bcs. i always have had someone w me in my life. i am literally never alone. #to which what i'm getting at here is Wow... it's like having a sleepover every single day. and i was a kid always sad never to have #sleepovers bcs my parents were strict (they r cool tho!) but i was a kid who wanted to experience all the kid things #but i didn't rlly but that's fine :P i am a grateful person LOL anyway back on track back on black #ffxiv... the game that u are..... #it's the 1st game that rlly actually made me invested in the ocs of others and also make a fully fledged oc that wasn't just originally mine #but for a fandom or something. and also it got me back into writing and Into making poetry and prose so. yeah. #it's amazing how much. oc x canon ???? yeah. ffxiv is so Wow #like eveyrhhting w themis or graha and how u can AAGGGHHH shit w your oc . so many possibilities #and that character. those possibilities. are already in game but also expanded by the player and the fanbade and #idk it's so beautiful to me WHAGHSGDJDH. and yes me saying themis or graha up there is self-indukgent bcs #both of them are so Insane it's so. insane!!!!! i will never forget what happened in abyssos in particular that Broke me #and anabaseios... :)) i cried so much it is almost embarrassing. and wow. asphodelos. wverything w themis just. yeah #anyway graha... self-explanatory if u know..... idk he's the character of all time to me. simply said. but themis is crazy bcs going thru ab #yssos made me think for a bit 'hey themis might be my fav character in ffxiv now' but No but also Wow. wow #kinda cute bcs me and my twin have a thing where she has a certain type of chara she likes and me too #so sometimes. most times. all times. we have our own characters we like anyway but sometimes they overlap but either the case we kinda #lowkey 'segregate???' idk if that is a good word but we do that w our fav characters. so like emet is her fav elidibus is mine. #and that was all the way in arrr alr and we barely knew spoilers so that's kinda crazy! anyway

[theinfinitedivides]

so The Way U Are (Unplugged) gets a live stage (MNet) and Rebel gets two more stages (SBS One Take at Inkigayo and Mnet) but i see nothing for Rodeo/nothing else for Jungle. aight. ok. guess i'm meant to languish or something

#tvxq #dbsk #for legal reasons that was partially a joke since they've given us so much this comeback already and i am immensely grateful but i #need to have a serious talk with the camera operator for MNet!Rebel bc why the f*ck are we flying so much for. they're #wearing the c*nty casual western lite outfits and we're zooming in and out like a f*cking drone no!!!!!!!!!! i shouldn't have to go after #four different focus fancams to see what's actually going on here #also who could forget the file quality is sh*tty. i can see the pixels as we speak there's no way i'm tackling this one for any #potential gif endeavors unless the fancams are better quality #edit: i think they also committed the sin of heavily cleaning up the live vocals bc this sounds like they ate the CD. and not in classic #TVXQ! manner i'm talking heavy handed pitch correction studio ass ate the CD. the only time you hear the raw vocals peak through #is when there's a fanchant coming up so they have to unmute it so the audience can come through. #look it's either that or they did a pre-recorded 'live' version and then lip synched the whole thing for MNet. i don't know which #one is worse not even the 4k visuals of the Yunho fancam with his ass in denim can make up for that. their stupid watermark #is all over the thing too bitch can we get a moment of peace #at least TWUA was left relatively untouched smh

[unproduciblesmackdown]

billions(tm): it's incredible how we just provide a little snippet of material designed to be "guy we all want to push down the stairs immediately somehow" and through this amazing acting alchemy it becomes gold. electric. magnificent. we can't get enough so we will just keep writing this loser character and the actor will somehow keep bringing the dazzling transmutation through his ability

actor will roland: [is aware autistic people are real]

#this is at least half humorous in several ways lmao but also like fr... #winston billions #will roland has pretty much said he is aware that autistic people real. and not [ppl's utterly off the walls assumptions abt what Defines #Autism or what an Autistic Person is like and how you would Know] #i don't think that Billions(tm) would be very much better at that than re: say; taylor's being nonbinary (surprisingly alright yet. u kno) #quant kid 2 could've been anyone but writing Winston is like so certainly the common deal of the inadvertently autistic character #drawing from all the autistic people allistic ppl encounter all thee time without being aware & deciding they're annoying / jerks / too #weird to live too pathetic to die / grating nerds / Funnily Odd in a way you deign to merely raise an eyebrow or scrunch your face at.... #so on so forth. ''oh you know Those People we all know who are just Like That'' #and deciding they must be ''just like that'' b/c they're either too arrogantly rude &/or clueless / Unaware to be neurotypically superior #also do not get me wrong lmao big old proponent of Did You Know That? Actors Act. Now You Know #so of course yes will's acting is off the shits i mean here i am am i right. and he is using it when he is acting. #the acting talent Is off the shits. the tiniest moments they give him & he CRUSHES KILLS it really is amazing i'm not waving it off at all #cue twitter randos so betrayed when kelly aucoin is not dollar bill & is like ''yes in my acting job i'm playing this fuckin asshole'' #meanwhile i'm still following the interviewer who a) asked will anything abt billions b) talked abt the immediate striking intro of will's #as quant kid 2 And the immediate draw of / effervescent dynamic between winston & taylor. Someone Who Gets It #anyway it's like will can fathom that actually the people who are Always ''acting wrong'' w/their bad grating vibes no matter what they do #are not always Those People(tm) who We all know & loathe right....thee magic of knowing winston can be someone fully earnest #and of course always actually trying; & having perfectly comprehensible wants & needs. damn how's he doing that #bringing a certain je ne sais quoi to this Insufferable Loser Nerd material! so we don't mess with the process. #i.e. we will only ever let his role get dunked on forever b/c sure can't fathom anything else anyways. our Correct characters could never.. #only tuk; adjacent in wrong nerd loserdom; can be his friend. rian who is correct but zany with it can be his abusive friend

[dormont]

also the pokemon in the voidlands being apparitions fits well with ttb lore teehee

#bwark #so historically as of psmd in the timeline it was believed that the pokemon found in dungeons were real #so after going to the voidlands and learning that every pokemon there is a phantom it's proposed that more research is done on existing #dungeons in the real world #and espeon and umbreon being the top dungeon researchers that they are learn that the pokemon in regular dungeons aren't actually real #either and they only become tangible forms after bonding with rescue teams through shared aura from battling #the leading theory is that dungeons are sentient and do this to protect themselves #and this is all common knowledge as of the ttb era #also before anybody says anything i was catching up on the rogue team last night and now i am aware that something very similar was done in #that comic and i promise it's just a coincidence LMAO #ive had this idea for a few months at least and i hadn't read those pages before last night #it was my way of avoiding the town vs wild conflict that's a theme in obt. respect to obt for tackling that but i'm personally not #comfortable with doing my own take on that and i feel better about them not being real at first #tbh it fits more with ttb's themes of connection and identity #like pokemon like dexter despise the way they were created because she feels she has no identity #but the pokemon that come from dungeons are a lot more humble and are just grateful to be alive

[weirdly-specific-but-ok]

It's James :D

What's an amount that would help? I don't want to presume so here I am cluttering your inbox

(to answer your other ask you did in fact click the anon button here. fear not, James, you have retained your mysterious identity. and i'd rather it be you in the inbox THAN PEOPLE WITH KNIVES THREATENING LOVINGLY TO STAB ME ON THE IDES OF MARCH WHY MUST THIS HELLSITE BE THIS WAY).

As for the amount I genuinely don't know. Like. Anything you want, really, don't feel pressurised either way? It's not anything I have qualms about and there's no minimum (aside from the 2 dollars on ko fi but i can lower that so).

I don't really have a goal, again, I have no clue what I'm doing. I just set this up because of you lovely maggots and because I'm a poor art bitch who's terrified of rejoining college (humans. i prefer you maggots. why can't i go to college with y'all) and the economy's broken as we all know to our detriment and so any support is appreciated.

Either way I love you all <3

#good omens mascot #weirdly specific but ok #asmi #maggots #ko fi #and my struggles with understanding how human society functions #i have no idea what i'm doing #go forth and vibe james the anon maggot i am so grateful for your support either way #oh right #ides of march #julius caesar #gotta keep those trending or i might be the 21st century julius

[hypermascbishounen]

The thing about a lot of the purity culture stuff is how it's also propped up by the anti-intelectualism. Which is how you get people earnestly Charlie-day-cork-board style arguing why anything they don't like has incest subtext, while insulting anyone who actually cares about analyzing real incest subtext.

It's also hard to do any serious analysis of the state of queer works, when the well has been so thoroughly poisoned between prople policing who gets to write/enjoy it, vs writers who see regular engagement with the premise of their writing as a threat.

#Like it's just surreal to read something with serious incestuous implications then go online #And it's verboten to even acknowledge it or you are evil - but reading the thing with incest subtext is fine bc it doesn't exist nope #Meanwhile the same fandom has wanked two unrelated characters into “like incest” but only if you ship them #And don't let my pfp fool you this isn't just about one fandom this has happened in every other fandom I've been in the last few years #I feel like I am losing my fucking mind lol #And yeah it does seem to be unfortunately related to how people see “representation” #Bc you will see people basically arguing that exploring queerness through fiction is inherent fetishization #Unless it's conforming to their strict Disney S&P department standards #And that this is to protect queers and stop the spread of ...degeneracy...yeah that is just 80's sex wars garbage lol #Meanwhile the primary argument made against this will be to claim that writing queer works is inherently radical #Regardless of context or quality or artist #And that they deserve praise and that criticism is just being a hater and those fags should be grateful to their genius actually and - #yeah that is just more conservative bullshit in a different hat #No you are not beyond reproach bc of your subject matter or identity no subject matter or identity are not inherently damning #It just feels like both of these “sides” are artificial and astroterfed so that we all lose either way #And I am so done with it lol like wtf why is everyone like this now

[dnangelic]

What emotion do you create from?

Gratitude .

You create from gratitude. There is something for which you are deeply, profoundly grateful, for which the words "thank you" couldn't begin to suffice. It is enough to make you glad to be alive. You make art to express your deep gratitude for having been allowed to know something wonderful enough to redeem all life's pains. Your work is pervaded by a sense of thankfulness, an appreciation for what you've been lucky enough to know. It is a loving expression of the sincerest gratitude there is. Your art is thanks for every good fortune you've received. It is a tribute to a feeling you have vowed never to forget. You count yourself as incredibly lucky, and your work is a testament to that. It is proof this world and this life need not be such terrible things.
