#look at me I'm a rat

[mrghostrat]

The other day my beta was online and seemed to be reading my WIP as I was writing (the Google docs icon yk) but wouldn't respond to my messages. I just learned to ignore it after awhile bc there was probably smth going on.

A week later I found out they were out and not connected to the internet for a week. Their computer was just open in their house.

Anyways I could totally imagine Crowley learning to ignore the little online icon until it's too late...

ohhhh my godddddddd the HUMAN!AZIRAPHALE META THAT JUST EXPLODED IN MY BRAIN AND I'M SO ANGRY ABOUT IT

i mean yes, all of this yes, but stick with me here:

aziraphale's icon is always there because the tab is always open

because

grif's surgery but just a little more... obvious?

I actually rly rly ADORE frankengrif but I don't have an in-show reason why he'd have extensive long-term allogeneic skingrafts on his face 😔

#rvb #red vs blue #dexter grif #grif #*24 #mine #art #cw wounds #Look I love biology stuff like this so I like researching what would be at least semi-plausible even if it's just for a dumb halo show that #makes 0 sense where CPR cures a headshot but i cant help it!!! and like the 'lazy' reason for it would be sarge is just crazy like that but #its not a good reason imo. and like the things he lists needing replacement are mostly internal and body parts which makes sense #considering how grif got injured by sheila like I could 100% see that rupturing organs and crushing his hand and there being burns etc #but like nothing points to grif needing any surgery above the neck and i dont think anyone mentions his face being different? i could #make up injuries for him but nothing in the show actually supports that he'd need grafts for anything but his body.. #I'm SOO ready to be convinced otherwise btw like I said I want an obvious frankengrif to be true so bad !! #AGH would it be too insane of me to make like a surgery/injury overview thing for grif just so i can convince myself abt this idea... #i can bend to some fun stuff tho im not a total joykill u know! thats why i give his body the mismatched donor skin look despite allogeneic #grafts not being permanent w/ current tech. like it really doesn't matter if it's realistic or whatever but also Yes It Does. #and like during/after chorus would grey offer to 'fix' it? i imagine the feds could mesh a skin so they could use grif's own skin.. #or like during rats nest when they got reassigned?

I'm currently playing through the Pathfinder series and I have to say, I am obsessed. Aster is my Kingmaker OC, Phesolis is my Kingmaker General/Baroness of Varnhold, and Zinnia is my WotR OC. Zinnia and Aster are chaotic siblings.

#pathfinder: kingmaker #pathfinder #pathfinder: wrath of the righteous #pathfinder fanart #zazrichart #aster and zinnia are rat people (affectionate) #pathfinder made me fall in love with the chaotic alignment on a whole new level #aster is a chaotic mess and in a happy relationship with regongar and octavia #(idk how i managed to pull that off after I only looked at a guide mid game) #btw regongar and blackwall 🤝 disturbing stories about dogs #phesolis is badass and I cared only about what happened to her and nothing else for about a third of the game what a dlc #zinnia is overwhelmed with the amount of weird shit that is happening around her and is unplannedly being courted by daeran #the one that romances YOU #i only care about daeran now #i'm sure they all will evolve more looks-wise but the rat look stays gfhfghfh #one of these is glazed #i only did one bc i wanted to test whether it's still as noticeable #and it took 70 min #fu ck a i

I think we can absolutely criticize how gender dysphoria is viewed and defined, but sometimes, I think people can swing too far in the other direction to say that gender dysphoria doesn't exist at all, or that anybody who claims to have gender dysphoria simply have internalized transphobia. I really don't think this is helpful to trans people who are dysphoric, and it really puts us in a shameful position wherein our feelings are deemed proof of being problematic or transphobic.

I absolutely don't think dysphoria is required whatsoever to be trans - I hope my blog has made this position clear. I just hate the way dysphoria is understood by cis doctors and medical professionals, who typically do not talk to or try to understand their dysphoric patients. I don't think the solution is to blame dysphoric trans people, though (or non-dysphoric trans people!). We didn't ask for the state of transphobic healthcare. We need to put the blame where it lies - with biased professionals who don't want to accurately understand dysphoria and how it can overlap with trans identity and the transphobic society many of us live in.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #transphobia #transphobia tw #dysphoria tw #i just wish people would be nuanced and maybe more compassionate about this #because this (like most other healthcare and mental wellness topics) are so fucking complex and nuanced #dysphoria is just as complex as any other healthcare need and i wish more people (doctors especially) actually understood that #because doctors seem to get when i say that depression has ruined my life because they understand depression a *tad* bit more... #...but when i talk about dysphoria and say it *destroyed* me? i'm suddenly a lab rat and they refuse to understand how i feel and why #also saying gender dysphoria isn't real isn't something only non-dysphoric trans people say... #...in fact i think they understand more about dysphoria than some cis people do... #...and i full-heartedly would support a trans person no matter what their dysphoria does or does not look like... #...because dysphoria is highly contextual and does not present the same and doesn't have to be present for someone to be trans... #...it's just that in my experience as a dysphoric trans person i've found that people aren't suddenly more supportive of me... #...and i really want to change how we talk about transness and dysphoria #i don't want to talk about non-dysphoric trans people like i know what it's like because that isn't my story... #...but i want to make it CLEAR that i will always want them in my trans spaces and that we *need* them in our community

If I can ask, since you mentioned liking the legend of zelda, what's your opinion on the recent announcement from Nintendo that there's gonna be a Tloz live action movie?

I've seen a lot of people mad because it isn't animated, and I honestly feel the same way. Like, I don't wanna give a not-even-released-movie bad faith (we haven't even seen a trailer for it), but you know... Live action movies based off videogames don't tend to turn out... Well. I hope I'm mistaken of course, but I'm honestly concerned too.

oh god

i am not excited

i wish i could be

i wish i could be hyped for it the way 6 year old me would have been

but the odds just aren't stacked in its favor with the team it has onboard, fucking avi arad, wes ball, and derek conolly

a middle of the road hit or miss producer whose movies often make or break franchises

an industry baby director who directed three crappy movies from the same failure of a franchise and a couple indie flicks

and a mixed-reviews-at-best writer who came up with "somehow palpatine returned"

and yeah the fact that it's live action... why couldn't it have been animated? You're telling me that Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom was inspired by Ghibli films and you STILL went for a live action approach instead of making it animated by, idk, Ghibli?? or shit, Studio Ponoc even!

and you just KNOW there's a high chance it's gonna be done in the live action disney remake "looks like shit the day it airs" way, not the practical effects "ages like fine wine" lord of the rings way

i want to be optimistic, i want to be hopeful, but i'm just not the kid i was when this movie SHOULD have happened

it happening now just feels like another soulless cog in the multiverse machine, y'know what i mean? the super mario bros movie did well so now ofc it's time for nintendo to 'expand' their film franchises and i just... i'm so tired. i can't. i've spent too long having zelda as my hyperfixation all throughout my childhood to have it go out this way (╥﹏╥)

#i'm literally praying to god that they prove me wrong and it turns out to be good #zelda was literally the reason i became a comic artist and went into character art and animation as my major #i shit you not rekindled would not exist if it weren't for zelda #trust me on this the domino effect is real #please don't let crisp rat anywhere near this #literally detective pikachu was the golden goose in derek connolly's resume but it's so outweighed by the garbage #so yeah it's not looking good but i want it to turn out great for the kid in me #ama #ask me anything #anon ama #anon ask me anything

i'm really really glad that i had done rat intros previously so the girls are like.... basically getting along completely already

#this photo looks weird because of flash #and me attempting to edit it on my phone which didn't work. #i haven't been able to do much recently for some reason ! just kinda mentally shut down whenever i need to get something done! #so at least this is going smoothly enough that i don't have to worry much about it #i'm just letting them out every night on the couch with me together #god i usually hate intros so yeah if i can just. get them together soon. that would be nice #*new creative post tag here* #new rat ramblings

i rewatched body language recently and i'm still thinking about the "benny, you're holding a rat."/"yes, i'm aware of that, ray." scene. this one:

because he is! he is holding a rat! and then he smells her breath (for detective purposes, of course) and says "come along" (to the rat, while still holding the rat) and he puts her down just outside the door and when she doesn't scamper off immediately he goes "you have nothing to be afraid of", and then, realizing that he may be misrepresenting the truth to this rat (who has already been through a whole thing! almost getting trampled by scared strippers!), he admits "well, that may not be true in the larger scheme of things, but at least this ordeal is over. so, off you go. toodeloo" and then he does the silly little wave that you would expect a person to do when saying toodeloo. visual aides because i personally think the face of this little rat is very important:

and look, i'm not saying the world would be a better place if we had more fictional men saving rats and giving them encouraging yet realistic little peptalks and saying toodeloo to them, but i AM saying that, actually. the world would probably be a better place if we had more fictional men (or real ones! or women! or neither! why restrict this by gender and/or fictionality!) saying toodeloo to rats they saved from strip clubs.

#i think i may have made a post about this exact scene once before but i'm not going to look for it #if it wants it will come back to me like a little rat with barbecue sauce on its breath #i kid but oh. gdi. this moment is the exact intersection of VERY silly and VERY kind that always gets me #combined of course with a dash of due south's brand of magical realism (is he actually conversing with the rat??? who knows) #and a deep sense of This Man Is Not Normal (affectionate. extremely so) #* #due south #and unrelated to rats but oh. fraser at strip clubs is just always so good. the extreme vibe of queer awkwardness? impeccable
