Siffrin plays Disco Elysium AU: Featuring backseat gamer Loop.

#in stars and time #ISAT #Siffrin #Loop #disco elysium #digital art #When I first thought of a crossover I went from 1) 'ISAT Disco AU but Loop is all of the skills' #To: 2) 'Loop is in the mindspace alongside the skills #To my magnum opus: 3)'Loop is sitting next to Siffrin backseat gaming him the whole time.' #Loop beat Disco Elysium ages ago and repeated it to the point they know all the vision quests and dialogue variables. #Siffrin just started playing and Loop keeps ruining the fun by using their meta-game knowledge to try and help. #Also let's be real. Siffrin's stats are 100% completely focused into motorics and nothing else. #If we can't Savoir Faire ourselves of this situation - we will explode. Endurance? Call my insurance instead. #Thinking skills? None. Emotional intelligence and morale? A failed social interaction canonically feels like death to them. #I might have bumped Phys up but...Siffrin's Electrochem stat is like -10. And Pain Threshold is emotional durability too. #Unused part of this joke is that I set their signature skill to Drama. #Both these games made my brain melt so now I get to combine them! I have that power! #This joke made me laugh the entire 3 hours I sat down and drew it and that is what creation should be about.

shall we renounce

from where we've come

and who we were?

#sleep token #sleep token art #sleep token vessel #sleep token sleep #sleep token him #bygone art #blood #blood tw #the most 'itself' this thing has ever been. the most it ever will be. #held together by vengefulness alone and pretending that it's something more than that #there isn't really vessel in there anymore. nor is there sleep. #it's both and neither. a mortal shell filled with barely controlled anger constantly threatening to burst. #it still tries to make itself a god. but all it's ever been and all it'll ever be is a mockery of both godhood and humanity. #a ticking time bomb of a joke. #i finished this while all of my body was in pain after a concert last night. god help me. #quick addition: #the caption is HEALTH lyrics again. while technically from DEMIGODS this specific case is intended to be the part from DSM-V #what can i say it fits Him quite well #'do unto those that which they did to you' is pretty much the reason why it came to be

Now that they can, would they want to spend a lot of time together? (Patreon)

#Doodles #Adventure Time #Fionna and Cake #Simon Petrikov #Marceline #Hhhh I feel so bad for both of them 💔 #Obviously Simon misses her since she's like the one tether he still has to ''his'' time - they were both born before all the Everything #And I'm sure Marceline misses Simon too but like - even this Simon isn't ''her'' Simon. They met when he was already affected by the Crown #They clearly love each other when they see each other when Simon is as much himself as he can be! #But I can't help but wonder if it would be painful to spend time with this sad lonely magicless man - and how guilty that would make Simon #He wants to still be a part of her life! But how much of himself does he even have to offer now? #And the guilt would go round and round - she sees it in him and he sees that in her and they just both feel bad! #I really can't blame him for being a little emotionally closed and her being distant - they're not who they were #With all that said I still really love their dynamic <3 They're /not/ who they used to be but they've still got such an interesting relation #I think in the moments that they do have together where they're both trying to be good for each other Marcy would really push her humour ♪ #She's got 1000 years of silliness to get out of her system to her bestie! I'm sure she's got the material hehe #Even if he still sees her as a little girl - I mean that just adds to the joke if she says something a bit blue lol #I don't think he'd actually keep the sharp teeth - it's more of a visual metaphor of how Marceline sees him in these kinds of moments #It's hard to leave it behind!

Another parallel between Valjean and Javert is that they’re eerily silent when captured or threatened.

Jean Valjean being captured by Patron-Minette:

The silence preserved by the prisoner, that precaution which had been carried to the point of forgetting all anxiety for his own life, that resistance opposed to the first impulse of nature, which is to utter a cry….

Javert being captured by Les Amis:

Javert had not uttered a single cry.

The other police spy who’s captured at the barricade— Le Cabuc— is not like Javert, in that he behaves like a normal person. He cries out in pain and anger and fear; he begs for mercy; he prays. But Javert is inhumanly tranquil, and reacts to his death with indifference.

Jean Valjean, when captured by Patron-Minette, is similar. He acts eerily “calm,” and inhumanly “silent.” Of course in Valjean’s case, he has to be silent, because he’s aware that the police would only hurt him if they arrived; his politeness is also a survival strategy. Knowing how to behave in a superficially polite solicitous way to avoid punishment from authority is clearly something he’s had to learn to survive prison.

This parallel feels like another way the trauma of prison has affected both of Valjean and Javert’s lives. Javert spent time in prison as a child, Valjean spent nineteen years serving his sentence— and both of them have now learned to silence “the first impulse of nature” to cry for help. They know instinctively how to behave in situations where they are trapped in another person’s power and have no autonomy. They are able to remain calm and tranquil and even “polite” even when they’re threatened with death.

#les mis #Jean Valjean #valjean javert parallels #in javerts case he had it coming but like #it’s still sad yknow #how good he is at following the script #and Valjean is just. an unbearably sad beast always #I feel like people miss the way so much of his ‘politeness’ is a survival strategy #because like! he is a kind compassionate merciful person #who genuinely cares about people (even ‘bad’ people) and attempts to help them #but there are also a lot of scenes where he is just superficially polite as a way to avoid being tortured imprisoned or killed #……… #also I feel like you could make a bad silly valvert joke about this #about the “’both of them are eerily silent and never cry out even in pain’ thing #but im not sure what that joke is #valvert fic where they attempt to have sex but are awkwardly silent the whole time #? #XD

POV I am your intrusive thoughts about mobility aids:

Most CVS-like convenience stores have canes for around $20 or sometimes $25. You can try out all the different options, maybe they even have folding ones or different patterns. I got my first cane from CVS for 25 bucks and it has flamingoes on it. And maybe you’ll try it and and decide it’s not right for you but it can’t hurt to try right? Maybe they’ll have one in your favorite color. Yeah maybe you don’t need it all the time but what about that time you took a really long walk and had to lie down for three days afterward? Maybe you wouldn’t have had to lie down if you had a cane. A cane for 25 bucks from CVS or a similar convenience store near you. Stop saying you aren’t disabled and you don’t want to be ‘offensive’ to disabled people. Buy the cane. Just do it.

#this is a joke but also I just want more people to know how cheap convenience store canes are #if you’re thinking about it……maybe just do it. if you have an extra twenty bucks lying around why not? #I had this idea like I’m not disabled enough I don’t want to be offensive to REAL disabled people #or like canes are too expensive I could never spend that much when I don’t even know if one would help! #NO THEY ARE TWENTY BUCKS THEY ARE SO EASY JUST GET IT YOU DESERVE IT! #YOU. DESERVE. IT. #I can’t speak for outside the USA however I have seen the #them in a couple convenience stores in France and Canada but idk how much they are #disabled #disability #mobility aid #chronic pain #cane user #physically disabled #my ramblings

If Ulysses has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If Ulysses has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Ulysses has no haters, that means I'm dead. If the world is with Ulysses than I’m against the world.

#this is slightly joking but like also not but also like am mixed on Ulysses on many factors #infuriating because i sympathize with his pain but it’s like #he is a well written and fundamentally flawed character whose hypocrisy I found doubly in #black characters I can tell were designed by white people with a semblance of an understanding of activism and bipoc oppression #but not enough for the character to not feel like hand holding for the majority white audience #plus personal grips with the whole twisted hairs thing and reference to slave braiding patterns #Ulysses irks me as a black person on a weird personal level and I can go into debt on why him being black is a big detractor for him to me #like he continues this cycle of distancing himself from his roots before remembering over and over again through his actions #he leave so much in his wake that the courier ends up correcting or helping like in honest hearts and old world blues because he’s self #righteous in a subtle way even to himself that he believes he stand out of his one man rule when he does not play an active hand #saw a post talk about how you choose to continue moving through his story and can leave at any moment and this it is partially your fault #but what of the oath that is set before you and is forced to take that he set up #I do not have to walk it but when I do the steps are not my own but those taken for me #you have to go out of your way to change it which is not something he expects because he’s playing by a story he’s been perpetuating in his #head about you two and the effect one man has when he’s continually been that one man more so than you as many of his actions directly lead #to the one you go through also the irony in the flag he continues to bear being the real reason he has no home #like he reps it when the package is likely enclave and thus use the same symbol #also still can’t get over how anyone could have delivered the package and he tries so hard to act like it was the couriers destiny or fate #when this was the one case of chance and that once man was likely a enclave engineer and how it’s really is never one man #it the process and he’s so annoying about it like he’s a cool character but if you don’t believe in his philosophy or already went through #these ideas cause they are very common talking points in poc especially BIPOC spaces he’s just old hashings and stunted #fallout #fallout new vegas #Ulysses you upset me but I’m like I feel you could be better if you weren’t so incessant #I don’t think I ever want to make a serious post stating this about him just because I’d start yapping and it’d never get finished #ulysses fnv #fnv ulysses #lonesome road

Honestly I'm really happy to have a cane but I'm really scared about what the rest of my family is going to think about me using one

I don't have anything diagnosed with my knees because I can't afford to go to the doctor so I'm just worried they'll say I don't need it. The only thing that I was able to get checked out were my ankles (that was years ago)

#I just hope no one makes fun of my cane #obviously people can make jokes that's fine #but making fun of it is different #also hoping no one says “Is that REALLY necessary?” #like idk ask the bottle of ibuprofen and aspirin I carry on me to help with the pain #leo talks #disabled #mobility aid #cane user
