#then i had to take a step back

[cosmics-beings]

being a starscream fan is always difficult because you have to navigate interacting with people who completely pacify him and excuse all his actions and paint him as a innocent person who can't be held accountable for the shit he does. and going as far as saying you excuse abuse if you try to hold him accountable for how he treats others. nevermind the fact that u yourself are an abuse victim and you wanna look at him multifaceted and you know, not excuse his abusive actions toward others.

but at the same time, you also have to navigate people who absolutely HATE him, and will act like they don't and claim they just see him critically, when most of their content is bashing him for his abuse, excusing it, saying he's an awful person and getting mad at people for seeing him as a victim or wanting him to have better. literally saying he deserves what happens to him. ike a lot of people will flat out slander him, while uplifting characters who are worse than him, will say that starscream doesn't deserve redemption, or saying that anyone who wants better for him is excusing him or worse, going out of their way just to be extremely unfair and critical to him.

it's difficult because i love starscream and i do see him critically. but it's hard being around people who will just pacify his actions, and then try to go to someone so you can have indepth convos about him only to realize that 'oh, this person actually hates starscream, they haven't said anything remotely positive about him'.

#esp like in tfp #then yeah i do get why people tend to be protective of the character #and i wa slike that at a point too #especially in prime and idw #but when i found myself excusing how starscream treated others -especially knockout #then i had to take a step back #and then in earthspark people got mad when you pointed out how poorly he treated others #and even in idw - he treats bumblebee and windblade like absolute shit and people just brush over it and also only care about bumblbee in #a sense where bumblebee only exists to take care of starscream and his problems and he can treat him anyway #the same thing happened with starscream and knockout #and when people just constantly excuse that and use the excuse that he has trauma #and that we can't hold him accountable then yeah that sucks #on the flip side you have people who only call out his flaws and are extremely hateful toward him and even blame him for his abuse #like yeah you have people who rightfully call out how shitty he treats others and are very keen to make sure that we know he isn't this inn #innocent person #but that is where it stops and they continue to hate on him #they get mad at him for his abuse and not u know mad at the person who is abusing him in fact many times they stan and defend that person #and all their content surrounded or focuses on starscream is extremely critcal and unfair #and only focuses on how bad he is and gives him absolutely no nuance or empathy #a lot of 'critical fans' of starscream really just care about shitting on him and slandering him and acting like he's the worst possible #person who deserves the abuse and the hate he got #and anyone trying to offer a nuance perspective and wanting him to be treated better is accused of 'woobifying him' when we're just saying #want him to be treated better #and it's like starscream is very complex and nuance and if you're going out of your way to slander him while uplifting other decepticons #if you are going out of your way to absolutely shit on him and give him no empathy or anything and shit on him and downplay what he went th #then you don't like the character and that's my issue #i haven't been able to find a really good balance #of fans akdjfl;afja #like it's either on one side or the other

Happy new years… let’s stay hydrated together ✨

#I didn’t end up going to the rave just stayed in with my buddies and had KFC (( Korean fried chicken )) and laughed til we cried so #it was still a wonderful start to the new year 💞🥰💞 #but the fwb wanted pics of my potential rave look so I figured eh I brought the stuff anyways #and now I’m imagining locking eyes with a stranger on the warm and writhing dance floor #the beat thumps and shakes and rattles the air in our breath as the spotlights dance in the reflections of our held gaze #he pushes his way through the crowd with a singular stare and a wicked smile on his face #I smile and turn my back on him arching myself so he knows I am giving what he’s looking for #I take careful steps through the revelry toward the edge where the crowd thins out #I prop myself up on an available stool in a lonely corner of the club as he closes the distance between us #“now I wonder why you dragged me all the way here” he utters in a playful growl “trying to get far away from the crowd?” #I smile and I nod. “obviously. can’t really do what I want with you out there” #his eyes perk up and his smile gives away the desire building inside him. “yeah? why don’t you show me then.” #“I thought you’d never ask” I smirk. I reach down into my pants and pull out my phone #“so this one is blue. he’s the oldest but he’s sooooo sweet. and that’s Eva. my only girl she’s sassy but she loves swea-” he leaves #whaddahell I say demurely whimpering even… whaddahell… #gpoy

"evan, i find you adorable". adorable as in able to be adored. as in capable of being adored. as in i find you worthy of adoration. adorable, from the latin adorare (to worship) to adorabilis (in the sense 'worthy of divine worship') to the current day adorable. as in maybe if we had made it to the movies or if eddie didn't show up, i could've showed you just how much i want to worship you. as in i look at you and there is a font of adoration in my heart for you. adorable as in i flew into a hurricane with you and yet this date is a thousand times more thrilling than that. adorable as in there is a person in your building who saw me jump up and down like a little kid in the lobby after i had kissed you for the first time. adorable as in i kissed you and immediately thought fuck i could do this forever if he lets me. adorable as in i want to press kisses to your birthmark. adorable as in i spent the entirety of the days leading up to our date wondering about you, if you liked your coffee with two sugars or one. if you liked storms or if the lightning strike had put you off on them all together. if you liked cats or dogs or if you were the kind of weirdo who liked goats instead. if you thought about the kiss as often as i did. if your stomach tangled into twisted knots as saturday drew closer. if you would be agreeable to sitting in my lap. if you would blush as prettily as you did the day i kissed you. if your world also realigned when our lips met. if our orbits had matched up now that we flew into a hurricane together. if the gravitational pull between us had finally been too strong for either of us to resist that night in your loft. or maybe, more simply, adorable as in, "evan, i find you adorable."

#SOMEBODY SEDATE ME #what is this #i heard that line and was like how can i wax poetry about this #tommy kinard the man that you are #like it was just an interesting line to me. it literally keeps me up at night #and then tommy immediately following it up with 'i just dont think you're ready yet' #because it's true!!! idt buck was ready for the restaurant and maybe if buck had told tommy this was his first 'dude date' #they could've picked a more secluded spot and maybe then the movies could've still happened and they could've sat in the back #as some stupid movie plays onscreen but buck would ever so carefully tangle his hands with tommy's bigger ones and tommy would #squeeze them once and buck would be so nervous he wouldn't be able to look at tommy and would stare resolutely ahead at the movie he #doesn't care about but the whole time he'd be thinking about the way tommy holds him so gently but eddie did happen and buck is freaking ou #so tommy steps back and tells evan 'i dont think youre ready' w/ the implication being call me when you are and he puts the ball back in #evan's court. and maybe tommy thinks that's the end of it. it takes people years to be ready. hell it took him years to be ready except #beautiful brave evan calls him less than a week later and says 'maybe i'm not ready but if there's anyone i'd like to find out w/ it'd be y #i need to be sedated #911 abc #evan buckley #tommy kinard #bucktommy #buck x tommy #911 spoilers #911 season 7

rewatching my vids… *explodes* here is the manch riff [at the start he was talking about a security guy at the airport thinking his hair was a wig so he wouldnt get recognised]

#dying. take me back #fob #fobmanchester #thinking about the fact i took two trains down there. battling my way thru delays and redirections bc of storms. #stepped in a bigass puddle 10 meters out the station and so had borderline trench foot by the end of the night. #Stayed in ENGLAND overnight. #Had to take Three trains back up home. #9 hrs travel total... #all for fall out boy... something posessed me (i would do it again) #got to meet max at least. Would do it again

Hhhh bnha 419… Deku has given this fight everything he has. What happens next is literally out of his hands.

#bnha spoilers #mha spoilers #bnha leaks #bnha 419 #rambling followed by a tldr: #I’m sure he’ll get them back #either Eri rewinds him or Shigaraki unlocks the record struction part of his quirk which I saw some people theorizing #but yeah. Deku has faught physically as much as he possibly can. he has transferred all of OFA to Shigaraki and attampted to connect #with his mind. the boy once entrusted with the responsibility to destroy AFO now has to rely on others to finish this battle for him #unless the leaks are fake in which case carry on as usual #bc I also have gripes with him losing his arms #theres a lot of arm/hand imagery and symbolism in bnha #the all night I Am Here fist in the air #Katsuki’s whole hand holding thing #the recent thing about relief in reaching out to someone in need and them taking your hand #ffs the last few chapters Deku literally had to plow through shigaraki’s mutant finger chiton to get to his core. #his early recklessness resulting in permanent scarring and deformity in his hands as a reminder fight smarter not harder #and to adapt and be his own kind of hero and not keep trying to be an all might copy #I’m rambling but yeah. hands. losing them means losing some important symbolism but losing is also its own symbolism yknow? #TLDR #he’s gotta trust his fellow heroes to step in where he can’t but also if he doesn’t get to do a classic all might pose after all this istg #needs to accept he did everything in his power but also if he and Katsuki don’t finally take each others hands after this ISTG

Keith looks cute but comes to pick Lance up from soccer practice, because after his first semester in the same team, the amount of red cards he received re-directed him to kick boxing.

#klance #lance mcclain #keith kogane #voltron legendary defender #klance fanart #laith #anyone remembers soccer AU i started like 6 years ago??? #where Shiro steps down from being a captain and hands the position over to Keith #making Lance remain a vice-captain #i lovee both the idea Lance was robbed but grew into this #and how Keith had to take the responsibility and stop being so hot-headed on the field #ugh its basically a marriage setup #it was 4 years ago* #i cant wait for my holiday like just for a break i know everyone is very interested in travels and all #but i just... idk want to collect rocks #that's kind of a metaphor #its complicated let me get back to it someday

"Who's afraid of little old me is about Regulus!!!!"

Have y'all ever heard of Peter Pettigrew????

#i'm sorry maybe y'all would have an argument if regulus actually did anything of use #i will never stop reminding y'all that regulus switching the pockets did nothing to the overall plot #meanwhile peter literally started the second wizarding war #it wasn't voldemort who had to be afraid it was THE MARAUDERS #who constantly overlooked him #i am begging y'all to take a step back when thinking about these characters #y'all are too close to home #the marauders #harry potter #the marauders era #marauders #regulus black #peter pettigrew #taylor swift #the tortured poets department

Part of me is a tad frustrated we haven't been able to crack 48/49% of the poll. Especially with so much effort going into it. And then I realized this is Glenn fighting against Carlos from NIGHTVALE. THEE TUMBLR PODCAST OF ALL TIME??? and then I'm in awe that grandpa is still fucking standing.

Idk I think there's something legitimately something there bc idk if any of the other contestant groups unionized as hard. that's fucking insane

#not tagging im just rambling on my aide account where i ramble #i just had to take a step back and think. #like nightvale is a massive deal. especially on tumblr. and Glenn Close is one beat down nasty sexy loser from a d&d podcast. #he's still the sexiest in my heart and I'd genuinely like to make the animatic and fics and art and the painting still. #bc i love glenn close and i love the people who love him bc you're all FUCKING UNSTOPPABLE. RABID BEASTS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOO

I put Henrietta's cage in the coop for the first time today to help get everyone reacquainted and I'm kinda getting the impression that Foggy has been missing her. Sweet girls <3

#chickens #birds #birbs #farm life #my pets #pearl on the other hand is being very mean >:( #I sat in the coop with them all for a couple of hours and everyone was being very good #went inside for a few minutes then came back out and pearl and Henrietta had obviously had a little tussle through the cage wire #because both had a couple small bloody spots on their combs and wattles #very very minor but still ugh #just gonna keep taking baby steps

Despite the whackiness of the special effects, there were a lot of dark themes thrown about in this episode, but none - I think - were darker than the conversation the Doctor had with who he thought was Donna.

The fact she baits him by using the information she's learned from his mind, that she lets him think the DoctorDonna showed her everything that happened with Flux and the Doctor's own mysterious origins. And it kills me because the Doctor hasn't been able to talk to anyone about this. Not in depth. Not at all. And they're finally in a body that can say stuff like love and hug with abandon, facing one of their best friends and she knows everything, the Doctor thinks, so for just a second the walls go down and he steps forward and he's about to unleash it all.

And then the mask comes off. And it's not Donna at all, but he's still stood there with everything on the tip of his toungue with no choice but to swallow it down again. To yell and kick and scream where no one can hear him. Just like it's always been.

This was exactly how I was hoping they'd incorporate Flux and The Timeless Child into the story. I'm really wishing they'll stick to these themes going forward, with the Doctor's guilt and anger finally bubbling up, because so much could be done with it.

For now though, I am just so happy we got this.

#doctor who #dw spoilers #wild blue yonder #anyone who didn't watch chibnall's run needs to go back and watch it this is a demand. #timeless child and flux were some insane door opening levels of lore drop and i was geniunely terrified that it was just going to be #ignored like many lore drops that have come before it #i wonder now if ten's face coming back has something to do with the guilt thirteen still had when she died #that whole mentality of taking three steps back instead of one step forward #but i'm hoping the themes surrounding flux will continue forward for ncuti's run . now they've acknowledged it that's a 100% confirmation #the universe is still partially destroyed #so like. PLEASE tell me we'll get to play with that. pretty pleaseee. #i have a lot of thoughts.

FF16 cross stitch WIP update, Clive has a torso! The reds of his shirt (and how the shirt folds) look so cool! 😄

This FF16 cross stitch pattern is by NeedleMinderLair on Etsy, and the final piece will look like the below image. I think I’m going to work on his arm holding his sword next!

Per waterpark au, you mentioned that they were able to retain water in their frame to add to their weight. Do they have any other useful skills built in?

You've yet to mention any human employees, and we already know they double as Life Guards, so I'm curious if they're able to imitate breath for CPR as necessary or if there's a proper nurse of sorts on-site for these cases. I'm curious about all of it actually. The whole AU. Like every square inch of it in fact (<<< withholding 742 more questions, visibly frothing at the mouth)

Oh ho ho!!!! I see you caught onto that lil detail hehe

Yes they have that feature built in for heavy duty labor and emergency purposes only. One of those purpose being minor construction. As of currently there are no human employees so when the park needs maintenance the sun and moon are the brawn to get the job done! Lil fun fact the park did have human employees during the first two years of the park being opened, but not in the sense you might be thinking. The waterpark is a branch of the Fazz Company but it was a very experimental one. Having animatronics mixed with water, the chair heads weren’t entirely confident in its popularity so they didn’t focus much of their attention on it during it’s construction so a small team came together to build it as a sort of passion project that could function on its own without much leadership. Hence on opening 3 types of animatronics were designed to run and maintain the waterpark. The only human employees were designers, marketers, financial advisors and other outside overseers of the park.

After the two years Sun and Moon gained ownership of the waterpark under some minor agreements. The park still has an attachment with Fazzco and all of the shares that aren’t going towards the waterpark directly go to them, other than that they released all the other responsibilities to our two animatronics. It’s not the greatest deal but Fazco doesn’t stick their nose into their business and the boys are free to do as they please with how they want to run their waterpark!

(And yes the boys are able to perform CPR haha, they can blow up a tube within 6 seconds! They also can fool around and blow the hats off of guest, it didn’t take poor y/n long to find out about that)

#Hi muzz!!!! #it’s not that sun and moon don’t like having human employees they just like handling everything themselves #they like to be more in control of something so precious to them #but dang muzz now you got me thinking about sun and moon performing cpr aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #the park is so dang baby proof they don’t get to exercise that ability much #need to group together some volunteer y/n’s to help with practice #also i like that the park had a lot of love put into its design and not built by some commercialized money grabbing people #the team was happy to release something magical into the world then take a step back #but trust my the animatronics had to work really hard to get to where they are and keep what they have especially sun #sb daycare attendant #Daycare attendant au #waterpark au #WP au asks #waterspark
