#nothing fits together

[ganondoodle]

in all honesty, im feeling a bit burned out on totk, the more i think about it the more i dislike its story and lore, i dont know what to make of it it being so loved by everyone else makes me feel like theres something wrong about me :/ gonna try and take a step back from it all

#ganondoodles talks #i also feel kinda dumb #bc i feel like im both not reading as much into everything as smarter people can #but also am trying to look into it all too deep #like i know nintendy made the game with lots of love and care but i #i cant help but sometiems even feel outright insulted by some of the choices they made #like the continuity problems with botw #man i loved botw so much and i feel kinda stepped on for caring so much about it #is this whats it always like when a new thing for your hyperfixation releases? #its happened with multiple of my past interests... #if i wrote an more about it i just feel like im being hateful - which im not trying to be #i just feel like -fuck me for caring this much- #part of why i was hyped about totk was bc i thought theres gonna be lore and design stuff i can use for my fanworks #but honestly i feel like i dont want to use anything of it #i know usually when you feel like you are the only one feeling like that you are not #but still i feel like im the only one that thinks this game is so .... weirdly disconnected #...almost like spinoff dare i say #nothing fits together #..... i miss koga #everytime i met him i was filled with joy #:(

as always, my spotify wrapped is a hate crime /silly

#┊glimpse into the crystal ball ೃ༄ #atp it’s personal #nothing fits together #the genres make no sense (as always) #and we’re going to ignore that my listening time has been cut in half ㅠㅠ #emotionally damaged by spotify yet again #i’m pretty sure i haven’t heard my top song in months

dinluke making utterly zero sense but catching so much popularity is my favorite thing to exist ever

no no no this is slander it DOES make sense!! u gotta think, dinluke didn't get popular out of nowhere, they got popular after they canonically met. what 2 other things happened in this episode? 1. din's son going with luke to be a jedi and 2. din becoming mand'alor. you know what that leads to? 1. a reason for din and luke to continue to interact and 2. spicy conflict and a shitload of shared struggle. Din and Luke both have to lead/unite/help their disparate, genocided people, are both strongly devoted to their creeds, both fierce warriors willing to do a helluva lot to protect those they love, and like loaaaads more. they might seem pretty different on the surface but at their cores they rlly match up and share a very particular set of experiences and again HAVE REASON TO MEET REPEATEDLY

and that'd be enough on its own but then you have that against their peoples' ancient feud and bam you have some romeo and juliet spiced in there. and w that, even if you ignore the mand'alor stuff you still have their devotions to their religions (+ w that the conflict of intimacy and want and din's helmet/the old code getting in the way), din knowing NOTHING abt famous hero luke and ofc din actively trying to avoid being the main character vs luke being the Most main character ever. its just. im normal abt them

#if dinluke doesn't make you go insane then it doesn't make you go insane. nothing to it everyone's got their tastes #personally the conflict the similarities the way they can fit together in brilliant symbiosis makes them just So Good #if you think this makes zero sense you would not have survived a day in the old overwatch fandom. biggest ship had 0 canon meetings #but i will not take this slander!! this is a sensical ship w reason to meet and reason to fall in love #i could write like a 2k+ essay on dinluke and why it rlly appeals to ppl (beyond 'haha pretty men kiss'). alas i have to do uni essays #thanks for the ask! #dinluke

Hmm....how hard can large scale mosaic possibly be? I feel like my plans for the room I'm working on could use something really shiny and impactful and maybe I want to make a fold-down cutting table and maybe I want to do it out of mosaic, even though that will be ungodly heavy.

It's a fun idea. I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

I haven't done mosaic since a one-off high school art class but I feel like the component skills are ones I already have, sooooo....

I have been keeping to a blue and gold celestial theme for both my guest room and my art workspaces, because if and when I move those spaces are likely to be combined. Cutting table, even though it would be for a different room, falls in the same vein, so I'm thinking something with a nice dark night sky and maybe some branches or leaves...

#if nothing else #I am likely to bleed less on my project than I did on the one in high school. #i sliced my arm open and bled profusely and never quite got all of it out #the third bedroom in my house is basically a junk room rn because the layout is awful #and i have been rotating that room in my head for weeks trying to see how it fits together in a functional way #it's going to still be storage but also my digital workspace/home for my modern tools #aka four ink printers #the laminator the 3d printer the laser engraver the cutting mats the paper storage #and also random crap like luggage and wrapping paper. #i think im settling on a library/bindery vibe #so loooots of built ins. #on a budget level i cannot afford to start this room for a while yet #and the same is also true on a time management scale #but for each project like this I tend to prefer to have everything fully realized in my head before i start #so im doing that now #mentally putting together lumber cut lists and figuring out if im going to have to buy a jigsaw

Ben coming back to the cabin to see yet another cannibalistic ritual

#🐇 #yellowjackets #again with the cannibalistic blue balls I see how you guys are playing the game at least I know it's gonna happen #poor javi it should have been travis let's be real he provides nothing #loved the misty on mari violence also #and we were all right about jackie's necklace! our girl's keeping the group together even still #also I know I'm literally the only one on the jackie antler queen train and while I don't think it's true rather than just funsies #it's making me wonder if this is more of a fae situation going on? it's been a looooooong time since I read about all of this stuff but now #after jackie's death and the baby's death and what happened to Ben this week it's kinda making me suspicious #like is the antler queen supposed to represent the unseelie queen? is it the unseelie queen? idk I'll have to look into this to see if it #fits. I'm leaning more towards that now than wendigo psychosis #also hilarious because I did say that portals was insanely jackie coded so we're coming full circle #also I've said I'm suspicious of walter but how the fuck is that dude so rich?? I'm onto his ass he is not to be trusted

i love having a snzfucker girlfriend so much she makes me feel so attractive and special in moments that i’ve normally been made to feel gross and embarrassed and small, like i should be ashamed of things i can’t control.

not only does she treat me with kindness and patience when i’m having a horrible allergy attack and can do nothing but sniffle and sneeze, she makes me feel pretty and worth loving and even sexy and it’s so special and i’m never going to get used to it

#idk i’m just soft #our first night together i was falling asleep while still having a fit #and i had been stifling but i started drifting off and before i realized what was happening i had sneezed fully and really harshly #directly into the palm of her hand (which she had cupped and ready in front of my mouth and nose the second i started hitching) #god it was so embarrassing and i immediately sprang up and apologized over and over #but she just cooed and shushed me and told me that i had nothing to be sorry or embarrassed about #and got me back to sleep #and then the next day when i apologized about it again #because it really was like #a very spray-y sneeze directly into her hand #she told me how much it turned her on and how adorable she thought it was #sorry i’m so soft and a little tipsy and decently sick so #i sm feeling very emotional and i just have so much to say about my gf #god

Me day 1 of my Trolls hyperfixation after watching Trolls 3: This is absolutely fantastic and I love it, I love Floyd, he’s great, Bruce is also amazing (hello Daveed Diggs), John Dory is okay though I guess? Idk why people like him so much he’s kind of annoying, anyways I just really want Branch to go ham on his brothers and psychologically beat the crap out of them-

Me present day and 3 weeks into my Trolls hyperfixation: I UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING NOW I UNDERSTAND IT ALL IF I DON’T RECEIVE TWO METRIC TONS OF JOHN DORY ANGST I WILL SOB, DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME HE GAVE UP HIS CHILDHOOD HE HAS ELDEST DAUGHTER SYNDROME HE IS SEVERELY DEPRESSED AND TRAUMATIZED I AM SHAKING HIM LIKE A RUBBER CHICKEN LOOK AT HIM

#i speak #dreamworks trolls #trolls movie #trolls 3 #trolls band together #john dory #trolls john dory #as someone who was/is really into ROTTMNT he reminds me SO MUCH of Raph and Leo??? #Eldest daughter syndrome he shares with Raph #believing his family will be better off without him but he needs his family or he thinks he’s nothing he shares with Leo #*slaps his head* do you have any idea the trauma I can fit into this bad boy? #if I can heavily angstify a character chances are I will love them #that is a threat and a promise

Have I mentioned lately that creating AUs is the most fun thing ever? You get to take a story you love and then mash it against another type of story you love and fit all their pieces together like they're a jigsaw puzzle. You get to find all the unexpected points of similarity where the stories fit together really well, and see the places where their differences change and make commentary on the original stories/genres in really interesting ways.

And then once you fit the pieces together, you get to look at the new world you've made and see how these characters in this specific world have different conflicts and explore new themes, and you get to play with another level of puzzles as you figure out what this means for this story.

It's the most fun ever. It's my favorite game.

#random thought of the day #adventures in writing #this goes for both fairy tale retellings and for aus of specific shows/novels #this last week was a week for aus #between the north and south sci fi au coming up again #making up a northanger abbey fantasy au #coming up with a new angle for retelling maid maleen #and having tons of new insight in how to rework a story that's a retelling of cinderella and three different austen novels #plus looking back on the powers and prejudice au #this is just such a great game #the moment when the pieces click into place in a way that makes both elements make sense #there's nothing quite as satisfying #to some extent this applies to plotting original fiction #but it's a different feeling when you're making an au of something #because you don't just get to work with malleable clay #you have specific pre-formed pieces #so you get the challenge of figuring out how to fit them together without damaging either one too much #and when you find the way they fit together it makes you appreciate both stories in a new way #plus it makes you feel clever for making the connection #astounding superb wondrous past time

Happy spooky season!!! Any seasonal erisol wise wisdom for us :? Or just any silly hcs that've been on your mind lately?

yknow what? for this spooky month; why dont i show the process for my *trick*ster designs as a *treat* >:)

ive been fiddling with these designs on and off tbh lmao; eridan's trickster design is based on his inverted color palette, and sollux's design is based on rotating his primary colors into secondary colors <3

BOTH of them intentionally have shades of green in their design to signify their ties to each other from being halves of erisolsprite; the oranges matching (and having each other's color too!) just happens to be coincidence lol

#tmos opens mail #satiricalstardust #erisol #eridan ampora #sollux captor #you'll also notice that sollux has a LOT of trickster dave in his design; that is also intentional given he parallels dave in some ways lol #oh. + sollux has striped arm sleeves because trickster mode just kinda. throws stripes at everyone tbh?? trickster mode LOVE stripes #++ you may be wondering. cooper why is eridans skin white. nothing else worked to make his colors fit together with his skin lmao. orz. #anyways dont be surprised if i ever bring trickster designs up again and they look different LMAO

I can't stop thinking about how Harry says to Ginny 'i need to break up with you for your own good so i can go off and fight Voldemort alone' and she's just like 'lol ok.'

He says something similar to Ron and Hermione. Because that's who Harry is. Self-sacrificing to a fault. But the two of them have enough sense to say 'not so fast mf we're coming with u so u don't die.' But not Ginny. Because to her Harry's more of an action hero who she looks up to in awe but doesn't really see as a person.

She just does whatever he wants. Like in book 7 we learn that she was devastated by the breakup but she never shares that with Harry or cries in front of him. Because they don't have that closeness.

I'd also like to note that this is a huge divergence from book 5 where Ginny actually does stand up to Harry and won't just let him run off into danger alone. But then suddenly book 6 Ginny has a different personality and has reverted to worshipping the idea of Harry rather than being attracted to him as a person. She even says part of why she likes him is that he would never be "happy" if he wasn't off fighting Voldemort even though that isn't who he is at all.

#I can't help thinking that if it was Draco he was breaking up with in that scene he wouldn't just go along with it. #But they play off each other and fit together like two halves of a whole #Harry Potter #tagging #anti hinny #but I have nothing against the ship or people who like it #random musings
