vaguely wondering if they’re gonna give us a glimpse of norman’s shitty childhood in the new gold goblin series/arc since they seem to be trying to make him sorta-kinda more sympathetic. i always found it interesting how norman, spider-man’s greatest villain, kinda got passed over when it came to that trend of giving comic books villains ANGST over their awful pasts; like, he got an abusive parent backstory back in the 90′s, but it’s only been brought up like three times in the past 30 years, which is a bit peculiar given how popular that trend was for a while.

#redlady speaks #marvel #norman osborn #it's kinda funny in hindsight. like #even during the heyday of villain pathos everyone kinda knew there was no point in trying to make norman osborn sympathetic #it just wasn't gonna happen #especially not in the comicsverse

Are you haunted by a the ghost of a 16th century peasant child? You kinda come across as having symptoms (/j)

me in 2018 during my stress induced psychotic episode

#in hindsight its kinda funny. i was convinced i was being haunted for a solid month and a half #to the point of being unable to shower for fear of spectral voyeurism #and then one day i came back to my dorm after class and felt normal and was like well that was weird! anyways #took me another 2 years to realize it was a certified psychosis moment

tdov was like a week ago already but I just wanna say when I came over to vacation slash help my sworn brother move flat he told me, "ever since you said you wanted to get top surgery I've been thinking about it. it's straight up number two on my bucket list"

#bakuspeech #number one is a house bc obviously. if u can own a house wouldnt u #he was very drunk at that time of the evening. I was not bc I have the constitution of a hot air balloon and any stimulant will blow me up #(relatively new development. france fucked me up big time turns out) #we held hand on his bed for like the whole evening. it was honestly very funny in hindsight but we were extremely earnest in the moment #and Im like. working on this thing as well. I dont got meds or therapy lmao Im bootstrappin here #but yeah early last year his bf offered to get me meds and I... turned it down... I think I was worried abt like. idk. something #but one year past looking back Im fully like that was a stupid move you shouldve gotten meds. youve once again fucked urself baku #but yeah with that kinda realization Ive also come to realized I've somewhat? accepted. that I'm just gonna be. like this #this in light of a number of likely chronic stuff too (hence my balloon-like constitution lmao) and #that's kinda bled into the rest of me without me really noticing #but him bringing that up fully unprompted... kinda jolted me out of it #its just. really incredibly sweet. that someone doesn't want me to settle for what I make do with #and like. preps for that work. just kinda held my hand and told me it's possible to do this actually #I didn't really express how I felt very well in that moment I think my brain is very bad and I process emotions with like a day of delay #but. well. Im thinking abt it Right Now. so yknow thats the kind of impact that had on me lol #not super sure why I wrote all this down here really. I think I just want a good n nice reminder that object permanence is real #and I exist in my friends' life even when Im going insane in a hole by myself #and with the power of friendship we can alter the universe's plan for ourselves and also kill god #that's that. anyways I eat lunch now and then pass out probably. last night was... eventful lmao #but!! very good things on the horizon hopefully. well manifestly we hold hammers and we use them #have a good day lads. let's go out and slay monsters under a highway

no chapter today but soon(tm), i just had to get this out of my head;;

#you can tell i was too lazy to draw his boots #but you also can't tell me he wouldn't train barefoot #morax medium size for comparison #i like to think the size morax was shown in the moonchase festival cutscene is canon #which would imply morax can just change sizes at will #which is perfectly plausible given the man can shapeshift into whatever he wants #so turning into different sizes of his original form for convenience's sake makes sense #hence why the exuvia in-game is so.... small... #bc for those who haven't seen or don't remember moonchase #morax is like... bigger than the harbor.................. #which in hindsight makes total sense given osial was also fucking huge #anyway #last chapter's jellyfish and next chapter's seahorse #along w the classic narwhal #does that count as a spoiler? #i also have skirk's design ready but i kinda put her in the same canvas as someone elese and i think it's best i wait till they show up #ngl since i can never get a clear image of skirk in my head i don't always envision her with the design i made #it only happens with skirk #which is funny and i guess very fitting #so uh #yeah #hope you enjoyed these childes #genshin impact #should prob start actually tagging these things #.png #.png fic #.png cyanide

not sure if this counts as an AU but.. thinking about the Per Aspera crew as horror game bosses like.. you are wandering through a forested mountain range and you know somethings wrong because the forest shouldn't be this eerily silent, this devoid of life, and then you hear the crash of falling trees and there is a hand that is half your size glowing golden in the night and it is grabbing you and its claws are digging into your flesh and you see the spines running down the golden arm that is far too long as it lifts you over a crater in mountain, over a coiled, serpentine thing with a visage that is not of this world, and if you look closely you can see the shape of a child curled at the centre of the thing, golden hair reflecting the glow of the creature and if you listen closely you can hear her sobbing, 'Don't hurt me, I don't want to do this'. you are sailing through the astral sea when you see an ephemeral, resplendent spelljammer cutting through the starry waters and you rejoice because you have been lost on the seas for so so long, so you board the ship looking for help, supplies, anything, and you are greeted by a blue fire genasi (you wonder, do those even exist? but you can't get off the ship now because where else will you go?) and she tells you she is the captain of this ship but as far as you can tell there is no crew on board, and if she is not appearing right behind you from a trapdoor you've never noticed she is always in the engine room 'fixing the ship' even though the ship seems to be sailing perfectly fine ('Where are we going?' you ask her once and she doesn't even turn to look at you, 'Don't worry about it') and if you are ever so unlucky as to damage the ship in any way, you begin to catch flashes of red and orange out of the corner of your eye, a fire genasi wearing the woman's face who whispers at you with hollow, angry eyes 'Don't you fucking dare hurt my ship'. you are sailing through the astral sea when you see a rotting, decaying spelljammer, so badly damaged it's barely moving although you have to wonder how it's even staying afloat at all, and out of some morbid curiosity you climb on board and the deck of the ship is in no better shape than the hull, the marks of hard-fought battle - scars in the wood from sharp blades and arcane energies, stains of blood and oil splattered about - still fresh but you know time doesn't pass on the astral sea so who knows how long ago this all took place, and as you climb below decks you start to notice the writings on the walls, pieces of parchment nailed to every surface and connected with fraying, rotting threads, or words etched directly into the wood, the deep gouges barely readable, and you start to hear the creaking and clanking of rusted machinery slowly moving about and you turn a corner to see a figure standing in a room facing the wall, slowly scratching yet more of that unintelligible writing into the bones of the ship, and it turns as the rusted dented mechanite stares at you with eyes ablaze and he asks 'Who are you? Where is my crew?' as sparks of arcane lightning begins to arc through the room. you are running through a feywild forest and you know, even without the figure chasing you, that you have made a horrible mistake, you should have known better, should have been more careful, should have kept your impulses in check, and now you are being chased through an unfamiliar forest and the figure, the Hunter pursuing you knows this realm like the back of his hand, knows every tree and shrub and vine that is slithering up to grasp at your ankles, and you glance back desperately to catch any glimpse of your pursuer but there is no pursuer, he has hidden himself with some arcane trick or some innate power or just the knowledge that this realm is his home, and you hear his voice even though you cannot see him as he cries out 'You should not have hurt my family. Prepare to face the Hunter of Hundkiln'

sorry no Vhas yet maybe I'll update with one for him once we get more of his whole deal

#rolling with difficulty #asto speaks #well i lied only kyana's and finbar's really work as video game bossfights #dani's is more... horror short story? vr-la's is horror comic #bc dani's much more psychological and the environmental storytelling of vr-la's one would be pretty interesting.. probably #in hindsight vr-la's reads like it could be a magnus archive entry LMAO #contrary to whatever you may think (especially if youre in the discord) i dont actually like most horror #like i've only listened to abt ~10 episodes of tma bc it started fucking up my sleep thats how much of a wuss i am #like i dont actually *enjoy* horror but idk i had so much fun writing this. for some reason #hell i dont even enjoy *writing* most of the time #all the others are kinda based on a specific scenario like kyana's is if she never left the cenobium and suvi snapped before she did #(if you've watched/read jjk0 video game bossfight suvi is very much just orimoto rika) #vr-la's and finbar's are pretty self evident #dani's is kinda.. inspired by alfonso of the stultifera navis making this my second rwd brainworm that's just an arknights reference #captains that are cursed to haunt their empty ships plagued with has beens and could have beens #(her one is the only one absolutely not meant to be read as literal btw its a very 'that house has been empty for 40 years' kinda vibe) #found it kinda funny that dani's and vrla's start in very similar ways bc they both kinda have that i am the ship and the ship is me thing #dani's vibe in this is just more illusions and delusions and vrla's is more decaying forgotten grief #a ghost of a mechanite haunting a corpse of a ship

okay in general I don't really get reading fic of media you don't know, like it's whatever but I just personally don't get it, BUT the only fic I've had people comment on of mine remarking that they read it on a recommendation even though they've never seen critical role and loved it is what luminous worlds await and yanno what, I'll give you that one. that's fair.

#that one's also probably the one I'd say operates most like its own independent novel for uh. obvious reasons if you've read it lol #but it's funny cuz like. the type of fic that tends to be read outside its fandom is the one where the serial numbers can be filed off #and like. I've tried it as a thought experiment and it would NOT work. #like straight up you'd have to rework some KEY elements of the lore and mechanics to do it that like. it would be a different story. #like it's very self-contained but the world is intrinsic to the concept #anyway I am at a point with that fic wherein hindsight has brought me to a point where I see some changes I'd make now #(prior I was like. this is not a Perfect piece of writing but it's one that i could not have written any better than i did) #and i maintain that for my writing skill at the time but now I'm like 'okay these are aspects I'd change' #which is kinda fun!

every other poster on the tube right now is advertising a new musical called ‘the time traveller’s wife’. for a blissful moment i forgot that a ‘wife’ is something that a heterosexual woman can be, and, believing it to be a beautiful lesbian tale akin to tihylttw, decided to google the synopsis to see if it was worth checking out. big mistake. ‘man first encounters his future spouse as a young girl, returns to kiss her at 18 and marry her in the future, remaining the same age as barely any time passes for him meanwhile she spends years alone pining for her distant angel’ blinks. what does that remind me of. oh yeah apparently this came before. i’m already suffering through series 5 at the current moment, so, plenty enough of that for years to come, thank you, and— what a surprise— the novel the musical’s based on was a primary inspiration for you-know-who’s weird fixation on this particular plotline. the worst part about the time traveller’s wife is that there aren’t even any cool steampunk clockwork droids or gorgeous 18th century french dresses to make up for the vomit-inducing implications. i have never been more disappointed. mind wipe, now

#in hindsight it’s funny how enamoured i was with tgitf when i first watched it. because i had in my inexperience considered it original and #clever. instead of a rehashed version of a story that already exists and is just as awful when you think about this ‘romance’ for over 2 #minutes. and then he does it AGAINNN #babe wake up it’s beating steven moffat with hammers monday #so this is where the poison root spread from. i’m going back in time to erase the novel from existence so he never reads it. come up with #better ideas. also leave little girls alone #i still love tgitf but only for the reasons above. the aesthetic and the scifi aspect. and the tragedy i GUESS. kinda because for reinette #it’s a tragedy but for ten it’s literally like. five hours max #do you think he didn’t come back for her on purpose? he couldn’t bring her along because she was too important a historical figure? he left #her there despite promising to pick her up in five minutes. knowing full well she would be gone before he heard of her again #i bet he did that deliberately. had to keep her living in hope because he couldn’t refuse her but he couldn’t take her out of her own life #wow this post veered somewhere else entirely. sorry guys #doctor who #dw #the girl in the fireplace #the time traveler's wife #jamie.txt

In my idea for a shattered glass version of RiD15 Alchemist Prime would be in the place of Megatronus/ the Fallen. But unlike the Falken he would be the overarching villain of the series and this version of the high council, who would be a version of the Protectobots here, would be his minions while he stays in the shadows.

Honestly that's a better plot than what the show did concerning Megatronus prime

#maccadam #transformers #alchemist prime #megatronus prime #who is pretty i full well askit #but #he wasn't really that big of a villain considering HOW HE WAS AN ORIGINAL PRIME #transformers rid2015 #transformers shattered glass #protectobots #in hindsight it is kinda funny how Steeljaw and the Pack consistently got shafted by their business partners #like ouch #sorry steeljaw #they just want to destroy the earth again

no but actually, when I was like 16 I decided to get in deep with the cult, like fanatically deep. Donating my entire allowance and dedicating myself to biweekly bible study deep. Mainly because I had deluded myself into thinking that if only I could become a perfect jehovah’s witness, god would heal my crippling gender dysphoria by either taking pity on me and simply give me a dick and testosterone for the low price of my freedom and dignity, or alternatively taking it away all together and let me live my life blissfully as a cis woman for all eternity in paradise. The latter never sounded appealing to me, and I’m not going to pretend that the blatant sexism within the cult wasn’t a part of it at all, but even if you removed it, I still didn’t particularly care for having tits. I did realize that the former alternative probably wasn’t likely to happen in the end, and that’s probably one of the big reasons I never could admit to actually just being a guy, even though it was kinda obvious. Cause when you know you can’t ever have something, it’s easier to pretend you never wanted it in the first place, lol

#ex jw #isn't it funny that I even entertained the idea of fucking JEHOVAH giving me top surgery or some shit? #dude are you daft? the babykiller who hates the gays? You really think THAT GUY would support trans rights? #also. my OG mutuals probably remembers me sort of coming out as nonbinary back then‚ and i want you to know that I was not #practically everything I ever said about my gender back then wasn't real and I KNEW it wasn't real. I was just scared as fuck lol #cause I couldn't open that can of worms and then close it again. and like yeah. experimenting with gender can be great and important #but I wasn't experimenting‚ I knew it wasn't completely right from the moment I said it and idk. I want that out in the open I guess lol #funny thing is I kinda did that thing AGAIN not that far back when I was like oh yeah any pronouns goes :) oh no it's they/them achtually #oh now im he/they and oh I just want to define anything and blah blah blah #and I was sitting there and I just asked myself what the hell I was doing cause you're a grown ass man and you KNOW you're spewing bullshit #like i thought i would keep things ambigous but in hindsight. the url i had and having my other name in my bio was kinda stupid #in my defence i didn't think about my url and i still don't really mind my legal name so lol #but i realized i was just pussyfooting around everything and i'm tired of it so yeah! #anyway. look at me revealing my fucking lore here. i've gotten way off track and idk what i was trying to get to #if you read this far you get like. knowledge about me you probably didn't want #you're welcome i guess? idk lol #insert drive through meme or something

I was the first person in an incredibly small fandom to start shipping a certain ship. I mean I made the first posts in the tag, I invented the ship name, and for a good two years my works were the only works in the ship tag on Ao3 and just the only fanfic posted for the ship in general.

Last year, I got one of my best friends, who also writes fic, into the fandom and got them into the ship. The fandom has always been small, with the group that makes it up changing every couple of months. One of the newer members ended up making a Discord server for members of the fandom. So, while more people have gained knowledge of the ship, it was still really only me who posted about it and even talked about it.

So, this friend, in a fic-writing challenge between us, made and posted a fic on these two.

In a matter of days they got more comments and appraise within the fucking server for the fic and were thanked for introducing them to the ship and/or convincing them to ship it, meanwhile I was just there, watching it all.

There's no point or moral to this, and I am thankful that other people are finally into this ship because I think about them all of the time, but sometimes I remember that fact and an ungodly amount of spite fills my entire soul.

can you explain the charro dream au to ignorant ppl like me who don't even know what charro means?

you best buckle down, dear anon. strap on yer boots and put on your best hat, cos we're going to the rodeo!

it all started when @watercubebee posted this masterpiece, then this one!! i busted into her messages with, what i thought was, a cowboy on his horse but UNBEKNOWNST TO ME it was a charro! a charro is a man who performs in charrería (here is the post i sent her) AND THUS CHARRO DREAM WAS BORN!

this is charrería, the national sport of Mexico! Here's an article about it. It's essentially Mexican rodeo with many events and rules, it's really friggin cool and i, as a white American, am highly underqualified to really talk about it at length lol. this was the first video i watched on it:

i was raised in Texas so I got the cowboy blood in my veins but i never knew about charrería! shame on me, honestly. this au lives in my brain rent free. i hope you enjoy the shenanigans, nonny! it's gon git wild west up in here pfft.

#i feel like i am not the best person to answer this ask... #even though im writing a friggin fanfic based around it?? #kinda funny in hindsight #the fic will be historically and geographically vague #with accurate charreria representation #its all just vibes #yeehaw vibes ya know #anyway #charro dream au #thanks for sending in the ask nonny! #also Mere if you wanna add on pls do #or anyone who knows more than me #lol im just a conduit! #doing my best with what i got

umm... lol

#i just got back from like a quiet drink w a friend and my housemate came home from something else and was like #“i got beat up on the train bc some guy laughed at me and i flicked a cigarette out from behind his ear as i walked past so he choked me” #and like... sorry that happened but... stop escalating #idk i gave him a hug and he's fine now.. #in hindsight that's kinda funny #poor dumbass #kinda wish i was there tbh

Always thinking about when I went to the doctor for a checkup in high school and he asked me (teenaged) (girl shaped) if I wanted a prescription for my acne (the three or so zits I had at the time because I was a teenager) (something I was previously not insecure about). And I said no and he went hm okay I’m gonna write you a prescription anyway. N then he glanced at my mental health screen and said you’re borderline so if this gets worse we’ll do something about it. (I was actively suicidal)

#etxt #kind of astounding in hindsight. #kinda funny too. hi doctor off to kill myself! not looking like that young lady! [gives me prescription acne treatment] Slay Girl!

[always-a-joyful-note]

Not to talk about ships or invalidate them but it would be so funny to me if the Alien Stage MCs were stuck in a chain of unrequited love. Like we've only seen 4/6 of them, so it would go Ivan -> Till -> Mizi -> Sua for now...

And given how the prologue gave us a nice little image of Hyuna looking ready to murder a smiling Luka, it COULD go Luka -> Hyuna -> Ivan or something anyway.

#sorry sua...spoilers but youre dead so it kinda counts as not requiting love right? #anyway ignore this the thought came to me as i recalled a bsd meta about s chain of unrequited love #which in hindsight is pretty sad but its kinda funny right? #that said the artist did say to interpret the relationships how you wanted to #and while i usually would take that as my cue to Not Ship.....like the obsessive tragedy of all compels me #also chain of unrequited love... #anyway excuse my ship discourse. cant promise itll be the last but even so...unusual #fandom spamdom #things i find funny #(im sorry the chain of obsession/love....you know?) #alien stage #note's nonsense

[thethingything]

I just realised I can report medication side effects so I've done that and now at least we know that this is like, actually going to be looked into because good god it would have been nice to know those were potential side effects before taking the medication.

but also the reporting thing lets you give details about the side effects you experienced which means I had a little moment of going "do I just say 'persecutory delusions' or do I explain that I thought I was being hunted by ghosts?"

#personal #thoughts #🍬 post #I only just realised that the delusions were in fact delusions because I was like ''oh I stopped being freaked out about that too'' #and then kinda went ''hold on a minute that's not a thing I normally think... oh right whoops'' #anyway that was stressful but the premise of it is at least a little bit funny in hindsight #like sorry my IBS meds made me think I was being followed around by ghosts that were waiting for the right time to hurt me #we don't talk about our delusions much on here for various reasons but this one is like... okay yeah sure
