On the subject of #emmerdale tweets:

I'm low-key happy for that one (and only?*) Vanity fan account. I'm happy they get to live out the excitement that we Robron fans can only dream of.

I feel like Bing Bong waving goodbye to Joy as she gets to live out his dream.

Based on another poll from someone else

#spotify wrapped #this isnt necessarily meant to shame people but to try to make people more aware #i know a lot of people who use spotify just listen to whatever it recommends #and knowing most man made algorithms it's probably disproportionately more likely to recommend white artists #so if youre just listening without paying attention to who #hopefully this will force you to notice and to start actively supporting nonwhite artists #and in case anyone is curious #for me the first nonwhite artist is number 5 and the first specifically black artist is number 7

One of my biggest annoyances when it comes to people who don't like fjorester is that they try and invalidate everything that happened between them by saying it wasn't romantic and that Ca/eb and jester had better chemistry or that she was forced into liking fjord. And in lesser cases that fjord was harassed into liking jester. They completely ignore character arcs.

Jester stopped outright flirting with fjord upon realizing he wasn't into it. She started to focus on herself at that point and understand that so much of her world view was wrapped up in romance.

Fjord noticed jester once she stopped trying to get with him because it allowed her to exist as a normal person and a friend first which then meant he could see all the qualities of her he'd come to love.

They were friends with similar understandings of loneliness who met before they met the rest of the group and built a bond on trust, joy, honesty, and support.

Jester was the first to see through fjords disguise and actually appreciate him for a side of himself he was still hiding. Something he needed regardless of what form. And Fjord was there to both be kind but also firm when needed for her to understand when she was overstepping. She pushed him when he needed it and he was there to support her and remind her of herself when she was putting herself last to self destructive degrees.

People use him telling Marion that he'd protect her as a way of him not trusting her to handle herself or babying her when fjord knows full well how capable she is of handling herself. But he also knows she will do almost anything to help people and sometimes needs someone to yank her back from the ledge. There's also the need to realize that part of him saying he'd protect her was a way of giving Marion security in some way of her daughter being fine. Think about it from a mother perspective: your child's friend saying she can take care of herself is a lot less calming than one who says they'll watch out for her.

Ca/eb and jester might have been cute in theory but Ca/eb himself is the one deciding it wouldn't work because he's aware he wouldn't be able to give jester what she wanted and needed. Fjord was offering her her dreams and happiness to go along with it. Ca/eb's future was vastly different from what jester wanted. And their future together would've required one or both of them to alter themselves to make it work. They both ended in plot lines that worked magnificently for their characters and invalidating that because you don't like their canon relationships just means you don't understand their characters.

You're allowed to be upset your ship didn't become canon, but it doesn't mean it was a bad narrative choice or a character assassination for them to end how they did. The players choose their endings. There are so many subtle and large moments of fjorester interacting and indicating their feelings for each other. If you ignore them to paint your narrative that's on you, not the players or the fandom.

#critical role #fjorester #ca/ebs name is blocked to hopefully avoid him appearing in the tag of his fans #i also did a read more in case people dont want to read it #this isnt a knock on ca/eb but the way the fandom treats him and acts like things need to happen for him to be happy #despite everyone else #it makes me tired #people would be fine with jesters unhappiness if it meant he got a happy ending

it's never ever 'cringe' or 'annoying' to flesh out your oc(s). ever. regardless of format (text, comic and so on)

if someone ACTUALLY has a problem with such oc posts... Why do they follow a blog that post original content? There's plenty of fanart only artists and blogs out there. In other words, not your problem.

#thats a post i made! #art positivity #it's actually normal to flesh out your oc via text posts and facts and such #sorry i just. Sometimes think of how much oc stuff we dont get to see because of such fears and it's upsetting #like you're the only person in the world to know all there is to know about your creation... #however there ARE valid reasons to not say info about your ocs such as spoilers. Wip personality/concept. artblock. etc #also wanting to do a proper introduction when you have the right mood+energy thats a good reason too #just saying that fear of cringe or being annoying is not a valid reason it's giving in on anxiety #in my case i have a artblock when it comes to fleshing out personalities atm so. cant give info bc there isnt any besides what i posted b4 #but hopefully my point stands. cringe culture destroyed many things and ocs were included which is. ludicrous #like oh no sorry guess no one ever should try to come up with stories and such. characterless stories mmm so good

[plaguery]

🖊 idk ur ffxiv ocs but id love to get to know them!! chinhands :3

i love ocs so much but i am so bad at publicly talking about them because i have a hangup that makes me think i have to release full dossiers on each and every one before i can casually talk about them. so we'll go for a summary on each since i havent mentioned them much outside of drawings

i have three ffxiv ocs at the moment: my wol, siv, and two scion "npcs" that come as a pair, magdal and senryo

we'll start with the wol: siv sessrúmnir, sea wolf roe, she/her. sam/drg main, but can generally go for any melee dps if she needs to. genderfluid and uses different gendered titles in different situations.

(i dont know what possessed me to draw them in a magnet pose but i did)

prior to adventuring, she lived in a small la noscean village as a village ritual leader, specializing in funerary traditions. she was born to two pirates, with her mother continuing on with her life at sea and her father returning home to his village of origin to settle down and raise siv. siv was mute until her teenage years, yet still opted for the regional sign of her village occasionally as she got more comfortable with speech. her paternal aunt was the village ritual leader at the time and helped raise siv into the role, with siv often acting as an assistant to her in her adolescence.

siv did not begrudge her role necessarily, but found it limiting still. her late teens and early twenties saw her leave her post and try her hand at pirating as her parents did before her. after giving birth, siv's mother has become a fearsome captain of a rogue band unaffliated with the maelstrom and uninterested in any good deeds or society. as siv had grown, she only visited a handful of times, but a handful enough to lead siv out to sea with her. in this time, siv became the dreadful right hand of her mother, similarly feared and steeped in the group's atrocities. still, siv found herself unfulfilled and no closer to her mother, so she left to return home.

back at the village, she did the same as she had before, only molding to her role with finer precision. this was to be the rest of her life.

but the calamity shook everything, her mother was now missing at sea, uncle dead, aunt grievously injured but alive, even if she was counting her days. siv took more responsibility in the village and even made ends meet with side work as a fisherman in limsa. yet, the true break in siv's future came once her aunt took her end into her own hands and officially passed the mantle to siv.

siv did perform her rites, rites that last across several days. and then, she fled. she took to gridania and their lancer's guild, forgetting herself in the motions of the polearm.

thus, an adventurer was born.

--

i would classify siv as a deeply suicidal character, without the outright drive to commit it. considering her relationship to death through her upbringing, death is just another journey and not the full escape she wants. she is anhedonic and detached for much of her journey as a wol, unknowingly seeking some kind of oblivion. she becomes the warrior of light because she operates on other's command. she seeks "nothing" and has no compass and by fate alone, the scions were the first to scoop her up and start telling her where to go. despite her cold distance, she does have high empathy, with no bounds or borders, that stays suppressed until much later on. and yet, morality is not on her personal radar whatsoever. i came up with this well before i even got to later expansions, so her general emotional storyline matches up quite well with the canon, particularly endwalker.

on a much lighter note: my other two are my fun characters, magdal bloodfury (hyur highlander, it/its, they/them in special instances, war/gnb, doesn't care to think about its own gender but revels in being ungendered) and senryo kusushi (raen au'ra, he/him, smn/sch, transfem butch).

ive described magdal as a reverse vegan, it wants to personally hunt and kill its meat and sink its teeth right into the carcass. for some reason i haven't drawn it like this yet but typically, it wears face covering helmets. its bites have various meanings though (but these still could just be classified as differing types of hunger) and is incessantly pouncing on its loved ones or potential friends to bite or nibble them affectionately. it is the bane of all other hunters across every continent it has visited so far.

it possesses an odd variant of the echo that, in function, works the same as expected, but inflicts everyone nearby within a certain radius with the same splitting headache and no vision boon as that is magdal's alone.

despite magdal's otherwise cheerful demeanor, it generally seems to put most people off to its acquaintance.

it is more than fine with this though, as it has it's beloved partner and companion by its side always, senyro. he is the composed one of the two, deemed exceptionally normal in comparison to his companion. senryo is devoted to study and notably, classically romantic in a way that confuses most given the object of his affections. he loves long walks on the beach and poetic interludes on their journeys.

senryo really is quite average and prefers his life this way. he has reasonable goals, wants a stable income and a nice place to sleep. even with summoning as a passion, he has no urge to become a notable figure in the craft. in almost every way, he simply desires a quiet life.

yet, his partnership with magdal hints to stranger parts of his personality. he is more than happy being their chew toy and cleaning up after their messes. despite magdal getting them both kicked out of multiple establishments, senryo has never been happier. it works well for them, he keeps the particulars of their day-to-day living in check and they protect him with a ferocity rarely seen on this star. they happily wind down their nights with tending to each others wounds (bite marks included), pulling leftovers out of magdal's teeth, and braiding senryo's hair.

#hopefully this isnt too much. and in sivs case its technically quite barebones of a summary since shes a wol but it gives the gist i think! #thank you for the ask! #ffxiv #siv sessrúmnir #magdal bloodfury #senryo kusushi

[hashtag-xolo]

Well I found one big reason why so many R+ fear free trainers are rampantly quoting that prey drive isn't a thing. There's an article that Simone Mueller translated on her Predation Substitute Training website in which the author states that he doesn't think that predation is a drive. He articulates what he believes a drive is and why predation doesn't meet this criteria for him. So this being posted by such an authority on the topic, even if it isn't their own original work, is definitely fuel for their fodder in "proving" that dogs don't have a prey drive.

#its 4:30 am and im waiting with my fiance at the er because she fell out of bed and cut her face so hopefully my words make sense #im just annoyed because the article isnt saying doga dont want to hunt but they think it isnt a drive for reasons they outline #i dont agree with the article #but i understand why he defines it as not a drive #but even then he isnt saying that a dog doesn't enjoy hunting he is saying that he defines a drive as an innate need like eating #and he thinks that predation is more of a triggered instinct #in any case its not aaying predation isnt relevant to dogs #dogblr

[orcelito]

Random stroke of inspiration, so I decided to put up some posters. I have... a lot of posters, so this isn't even everything, but I got up the ones I care about the most

First, I put up These

The before vs after. Some of my more general prints that I wanted to have up, but didn't care to have close to where I like to sit.

And for the Main Wall...

Here's the before. I had a lot more p5 prints up, but they'd fallen down... so I put them back up, but rearranged some things, and Also put up my new (ish) trigun posters, SO

The final product. For now.

I have the things I care about most right around here, bc theyre easiest to see. I only have 4 trigun prints rn, but they are in a Place Of Honor...

The fire emblem prints were moved up bc I wanted the red glove akechi Closer, but its old spot was taken up by the vash print. So here it is now. WHICH leads in nicely for the other big akechi prints above the dice. Also dug old an oldddd fenris print bc Why Not

I have more things bit they're either things I no longer care about, prints I don't really like, or Way Too Big (as is the case with a huge botw poster, a big p5 poster, a big skz poster, and then 2 big p4 wall scrolls). My current printers tape wouldn't work with them lol (also idk where I'd put them....)

For now. Represented is trigun, persona 5, fire emblem echoes, fire emblem fates, fire emblem three houses, dragon age, botw, kingdom hearts, and naruto. A pretty good spread imo.

#speculation nation #also shown is my extensive dice collection. which that isnt even everything. #also peek my persona figurines in the display case... #theres also a decorative axe ❤️ bc i like it. #busy wall but i enjoy it. and i tried to super layer the ones that fell down b4 so they hopefully wont fall again hfkshf #the struggle of using painter's tape.. but im technically not supposed to put things on the walls :p #this is the compromise. so i dont damage the walls lmaoo. its just kinda weak. #it's ok it works. and i now have a ton of prints up 🥰 #it's the simple things sometimes

AHSJSJ in reference to https://at.tumblr.com/weaselishmcdiesel/idk-if-youre-being-serious-in-the-tags-but-if-you/b7me6xnnx57f (i was the anon in question)

its definitely less “official” than proper therapist, but the letter of recommendation for an emotional supper pet you get is in fact from a Real Certified Therapist (at least mine was, i checked), and it carries no indication of being provided through the website, so i doubt people would be like “oh this isn’t legitimate”

in general is it cutting corners? certainly, but it is a good option if you dont have access to/funds for a proper diagnosis, and if you genuinely think an emotional support animal would make your life better, its worth researching. i dont know if i’d call it “fake” per say, but it is for sure easier to fake than yknow a proper diagnosis, so i see why this would be an issue nonetheless. two sides to everything etc etc

(if youre curious to know more or see my letter i’m happy to send it through dms or whatever)

oo, erm, please take the rest of my response in the context that i really have, maybe a collective of 3 hours worth of research on this topic as i was originally planning not to use an ESA site at all, and im not aware of the specifics of any experience using official, medical, therapy options.

im really glad that everything went smoothly for you, and i hope that more people can have access to treatment just as easily and with just as much documentation to prove it.

But the conduct surrounding the treatment of mental health is unfairly complicated so it's not unwise to be picky about which route one takes to receive the documentation and care they require. ideally, no one would have to worry if the letter they acquired IS legitimate and they could collect the proper benefits. unfortunately, i dont know if my school cares about my mental health more than their precious building so much so that they would dig around and find some critical loophole to keep my pet out

the research i DID do uncovered reviews stating that people had their pettable letters denied and in some cases there was fine print that prevented them from getting refunded. the question at the end of the day is do i trust the ESA site to give me valid documentation MORE than i trust my school to be OVERLY, even MALICIOUSLY nitpicky about the legitimacy of my paperwork.

and, i personally would have to be cautious since it's more than a simple drive my cat would have to endure but a plane ride too, and another one back if he's suddenly denied an ESA position, so i can't risk the letter having even one pitfall. i do hope you understand everyone's apprehension ^^ I will continue doing my research and hope that in the end i dont give my school one more reason to be even more strict with ESA especially for people who need them more than me (because there are, probably, people who poorly fake the papers and then make it harder for the rest of us as the other user is calling attention to)

#if it's alright i dont want to take more opinions on this! not mad but i would like to conduct my research with a little less bias :) <3 #plus i dont want to stir anymore controversy alright? #and ofc i dont want to have to reveal the specifics of my situation if it comes down to it haha #but your input is appreciated- dont worry too much about me ok! #im sure that whenever i get my cat ill update everyone ahha ill never shut up about him #i saw your second ask and i havent even scoured the whole website for that option yet- i AM busy with homework haha #weasel speaks #asks! #i hope nothing comes off as aggressive i just want to explain the other side fairly #it's never in poor interest to be cautious! if someone really needs their ESA im sure theyll figure out a way to do it #.....hopefully..... but that isnt always the case #but i also doubt those people are coming to my blog for advice

ah, yes. you caught me red-handed. I was absolutely using gender euphoria as a weapon and discrediting other trans people when I made a cheerful little post about......

[checks notes]

........a pair of pants.

yyyyyup, you got me. I am obviously not "an actual trans person" because I am able to experience joy and I don't view my trans existence as pure suffering. 😔

oh noooo, I'm such a big bad villain, aaaaaaaaaahh!!!

no but seriously. what? i am assuming with this language that you must be one of those transmeds or truscum or w/e. is this really what you guys do for fun, just being dicks to people who weren't having anything to do with you and accusing them of ableism??? lol wut

I mean I'm no expert, so correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like the actual ableist thing here would be insinuating that every single trans person—sorry, every real trans person, not me and the fakers who arent suffering 25/7 i guess—is disabled by nature of being trans....?

if it actually was the case that being trans was a disability, then whatever because guess what there's nothing wrong with being disabled, but i just know that there is no way in hell that you people are saying this shit without viewing disabilities and disabled people in a very gross & negative way, what with misery and self-hatred being your whole thing.

so like, fuck off with that shit.

I am very sorry for you, and for every other trans person who feels the way you do. I am sorry that you see happiness as a threat and that you base your entire existence on feeling awful. I'm sorry that other people's experiences and relationships with themselves make you insecure. I'm sorry you're hurting bad enough that you have to attack other people in your community.

I sincerely hope that you can feel better someday. I hope you can feel comfortable with yourself and stop feeling like you have to prove your transness through despair. I hope you can grow to appreciate the differences in other people without feeling threatened. I hope you can heal from all your hurts and come out on the other side a happier, healthier person.

I really, truly do.

but until that day comes, keep your garbage off my blog. <3
