#will definitely try to participate

[pleasantmsp]

I love Beauyasha so much. I miss them so much.

The reunion gave me so much joy and now I'm in this weird happy but melancholy state. I love the Nein so much and I want more of them. And I especially want more of Beau and Yasha. If we get a Fjorester wedding one shot, I will be stoked. But then also give me the Beauyasha wedding too!

I'm really just hoping they keep doing these little reunions cause I love the Mighty Nein so much and seeing them makes me so happy.

#critical role #cr spoilers #beauyasha #the mighty nein #echoes of the solstice #and the rest of the tags are a rant #got a bit carried away lol #my depression has been real bad for the past like 9 months and i dont have the money or resources to go to therapy #so i am in a real interesting head space lately #this one shot gave me so much joy #i haven't felt that engaged and excited and happy in a long time #but now that its over that feeling is being joined by (like i said) this weird melancholy that i've never felt in this way before #tm9 mean so much to me #beauyasha means so much to me #especially in these times with the strikes and all the cancelations of wlw inclusive media #i've been trying to get back into c3 but getting through those first arcs is proving difficult #bh just doesn't feel the same as the m9 to me which is fine but sad in a way #cause I feel like there's still so much the nein could do and participate in #i definitely understood what ashley meant when she said she didn't feel like she was done with yasha #i feel the same #so i hope they keep doing these one shots and i hope they release some news on the animated show soon #and here's hoping that as I catch up on bh i can come to love them even half as much as tm9 #cause that'd be enough to keep me coming back and then some

TOLKIEN WEEK 2022 | DAY 1: FAVORITE CHARACTER ⇢ FARAMIR

"He is bold, more bold than many deem; for in these days men are slow to believe that a captain can be wise and learned in the scrolls of lore and song, as he is, and yet a man of hardihood and swift judgement in the field. But such is Faramir. Less reckless and eager than Boromir, but not less resolute."

#tolkienweek #lotredit #lotr #faramir #tolkienedit #fantasyedit #southfarthing #rotk #my edit* #this was definitely rushed #but trying to participate in three overlapping fandom events is doing a number on my creativity and energy #anyways something something in the books retaking osgiliath was much more tactical and not nearly the death wish it was in the films

"American individualism has a lot of problems and can lead to a loss of supportive community networks" - true, a problem worth talking about

"Individualism is a poison and anyone who wants to maintain a level of independence from their family, culture, or community is suspect" - BAD. WRONG AND BAD. THIS IS EXTREME CONSERVATISM DRESSED UP IN A PROGRESSIVE HAT

#the immediate backlash to anything perceived as american culture on this site is wild #like . . . the general idea on this site of 'community' as an inherent good that is always supportive #as though the concept of community hasn't constantly driven bigotry and fear and hatred of 'outsiders' #as though people throughout history haven't been forced to conform to all sorts of gender and class and social roles #'for the good of the community' #and obviously i'm not trying to swing the other way here. communities ARE important. support networks ARE important. #but they're not like. inherently progressive? #this is specifically about a comment on a post about unions in which someone claimed your individual voice isn't important in a union #YES IT IS. YES IT FUCKING IS OH MY FUCKING GOD #YOU NEED TO GO TO YOUR UNION MEETINGS AND MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD. UNIONS ARE NOT MAGICAL ENTITIES WHO WILL SIMPLY SOLVE ALL YOUR PROBLEMS #YOU HAVE TO PARTICIPATE AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR UNION *IS* ACTUALLY REPRESENTING YOU PROPERLY #and like . . . you're allowed to be angry at decisions your union makes! i'm mad at my union all the fucking time! #i will ABIDE by the union's decision but I DON'T have to be happy about it and I'm DEFINITELY allowed to kick up a fuss if I want!

i find it damn near impossible to get mad at santana’s behavior in 3x06 and 3x07 because i genuinely do think she had the right to be lashing out at everybody. sue me idk

#idgaf if she was mean to kurt and blaine when they were “trying to help” in IKAG #they were the first performance & santana was put under the spotlight by the guy who fully outed her to the ENTIRE STATE OF OHIO & now she #-was expected to be just happy and jolly about some bullshit lady music week to celebrate women as if that has anything to do with wtf just #-happened to her by finn’s hands & of course she was upset because she was only back in the new directions because finn basically #-blackmailed her into rejoining like hello!!! so of course she was snippy with them… and tbh i don’t even think she was being that mean. #i think she’d have reason to be even MEANER actually. that reaction of hers was completely reasonable. and honestly it must’ve hurt seeing #-two people who are meant to Get what it’s like.. participate in that? especially when the last thing she wants is her sexuality that she’s #-still very insecure with Being broadcasted. to the whole damn club. it’s already about to be shown to all of ohio with names addresses #-details about her whole personal life etc like she really didn’t need that spotlight right then she needed to have space and love and #-support… none of which she got. #also the glee writers tend to make a character do a bad thing and then have another character do an INFINITELY WORSE THING #and then they’re like “oh but. the first character was being so mean. this absolutely deplorable and wayyyy too far reaction is definitely #-justified now because that was just so mean of the first character ugh!” and basically spins what happened into showing the first characte #-as the most evil person alive??? as if that’s even remotely true.??? and yes this is about santana cause they do this w her #and quinn. a LOTTTT. like a LOT. rn i’m talking ab santana though so i won’t cover quinn sorry fabrayers… one day! #like yes santana was being mean sure whatever. but finn didn’t have an excuse IDGAF what the hell anybody says about the body shaming stuff #it was mean. yes that’s true. but i don’t think you understand how different those two things are #they’re both bad but the outing is infinitely more despicable and personal and filled with malice and it’s so much more endangering in a wa #-that can’t even be compared to the dangers of body shaming you know. like they’re completely different and the outing thing is just too #-personal and Wrong like. idk. just get that through ur head they’re both so different and finn went way too far and personal. he could’ve #-just mocked her looks if he really wanted to get back at her. mocked ANYTHING else. but he chose the worst thing you could do to somebody #who is scared and in the closet and hurting #also yes santana’s written to be rude a lot of the time but her degree of rudeness in those episodes was Overplayed and def not in characte #like it didn’t feel much like santana’s brand of meanness it was 100% the writers trying to justify finn more because they continued to #-paint finn as the good guy who chose the high road… when that couldn’t be further from the truth thanks. he didn’t choose the high road he #-completely blackmailed santana and used her to make him look good basically. so you can’t change my mind on that Def being a writer issue #and just them Hating Women. especially santana. thanks. #also this is all coming from somebody who loves finn. so. 🤣 #i fuckingggg hate seeing people say santana was mean and had no right to be doing all of that in those eps.. BITCH YES SHE DID #like in other eps sure (<- nuanced topic/take) but this one? No. she was justified IDGAF. should’ve been meaner

hey so there's that starvetober thing going on right now right? it's day 4. i drew a machine. i drew several. this counts

there's some things you wx-78 fanartists do that drive me absolutely insane (in a good way) so i wanted 2 imitate some of them! ^_^

#don't starve #don't starve together #dst #wx-78 #wx 78 #wx78 #image id #starvetober #starvetober 2022 #artists on tumblr #(no but seriously im gonna try to participate! just not every day #i cant keep up with daily stuff but i can definitely do it whenever inspiration strikes)

[worldsquietestjojosfan]

i only end up leaving fandoms and never return because i forgot. like i deadass forgot the source material. and i dont remember being in the fandom either.

#like the fact that allegedly i drew a lot of wwx in 2018 #im still trying to figure that out because i thought my friends made me draw it when the donghua was airing #but that would make sense if it was 1 drawing. i have found seven. #i swear i have never touched mdzs before now in my LIFE #but i also swear i didnt know about danmei before now. but my brain starts itching when i think that thought #theres something hidden in there #but i definitely didnt know about mdzs when my friends were participating in untamed zines. #it rang 0 bells. but that happened years after i drew the wwx pictures #every time im convinced and reach a conclusion new evidence pops up #nobody ever in my life has been able to convince me to draw multiples of something i dont love. ever. #so that means i knew about and liked wwx #that didnt happen!! it couldnt have or else id feel deja vu when i saw him again #it didnt happen!!!! it couldnt have!!! #me with nrt right now. factually i know i was there. and i drew. i dont remember shit tho #sighhhhh i wish i had a brain #i dont believe i ever knew about mdzs before now. i need to find out whose drawings those are. its not me. #some words #i dont remember a single damn thing about nrt #i know i was in the fandom because: i see the people ive met before and they know me. so it happened

looking like another genevieve rafter keddy photo i haven't seen elsewhere already (where are we getting these lol) and when things seem to be the krampus onstage with a mic i am Looking. i am looking directly at that....

#closing my eyes cyril the krampus baby it's cold outside sequence.... #it's feasible the krampus is onstage at any point before that (see: the 11th annual show with hard candy christmas participation. however #that was a show in which the xmas villain does Not try to fuck the krampus lmao. comparing; contrasting; titrating; examining swatches) #more like switches. there's wikipedia at it ''switching is similar to birching'' right on the money #or switch as in vers as in [closing my eyes cyril the krampus baby it's cold outside sequence....] #joe iconis christmas extravaganza #the krampus #but more to the point yeah got a Roaming krampus when introduced then definitely onstage for bico. in between / afterwards? mysteries......

Things I did yesterday

1) finished rereading The Silver Eye. It was a MUCH needed reread and now everything makes so much more sense, my lore knowledge has been restored and I am not as confused as I was 😂

2) wrote an almost 3,000 word essay about Ford…not just about him but me lowkey defending him against some of the things I see the fandom say about him…yeah I had *thoughts* and honestly I mostly just wrote it to get the thoughts out of my head lol

3) I went outside cause the sun FINALLY came out, and it’s still out today, I am happy ☀️

#and my sister had a fever for a bit and I’m not feeling 100% today so no pt today…I hate missing but I just want to do nothing today 😴 #no but I was typing so fast about ford trying to get the thoughts out #I’d have to edit it a lot if I ever wanted to share it though cause I was not paying attention to grammar or something while writing lol #also rereading tse definitely makes me want to participate in the secret Santa haha #aceo rambles

thinking about this because it’s sunday but. usa and mamoru are together for almost 1000 years. they gotta spice things up a bit and usa probably suggested the kinkiest stuff way down the line

#usfw #⸝⸝ ꒰ 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒𝐌 🌙ㆍ₊⊹） ♡ ooc ‣ nini things. #1000 years u know #that’s a long time with the same partner #so she definitely recommended they try new things in the bedroom #this is the first s*exualsunday i participate in so i’ll keep it light for now

[hazmatazz]

sometimes you see something you agree with but you roll your eyes at. whether it's because it's a stupid argument you don't care about or they're phrasing it in a way you dislike or whatever. that's fine, that's literally fine. you don't have to be passionate about everything you agree w/, especially if it's really meaningless

#this is about a particular user over some dumb fucking controversy but this also goes for both the whole fandom and literally just life #if you cared about everything and cared to state your side 24/7 for everything you'd get tired #<- this is not bashing people who care about the small things. i love you guys. this is bashing the people who bash others- #-for being “fence sitters” or whatever just because we don't care or choose to argue... #i'm here in life to try me best to have fun and that is not my definition of fun. getting pissy at people on the internet that much doesn't- #-bring me pleasure #argue about things all you want. be passionate all you want. that's your life and that's completely cool #but as soon as you get annoyed at others for not participating in minor things? ...huh?? #kinda hypocritical to say “stay in your lane” and then make a whole post about ppl who typically stay in their lane (of not caring) #anyways #babble #complaining

[dodgebolts]

are you in dtblr summer camp? :0

yes!! I've just been super sick (and complaining about it on here constantly) so I've only been joining for trivia in my moments of clarity LOL hopefully I'll be fine for it but I'll be hosting Tuesday's Geoguessr event in there!! I think even if I'm not feeling well I'll just stay muted but fingers crossed :>

#I think the only thing that would move it is if the only time I can get a doctor's appointment is then but I'll try to schedule around it!! #it's tons of fun though I'm just not alive enough to participate too much so I'd definitely join if you can!! #lyss answers #anon tag

margaery when she heard renly and loras were scheming to get her to court so robert would become infatuated with her and replace cersei with her

#♡ about. ⊱ ❝ 𝘌𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘢 𝘴𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘴. ❞ #I think this is like . . . the one scheme of theirs that she wasn't really a willing participant in lmao #like I'm sorry boys but that was SUCH a fucking stupid play to try to make. and not one I see marg attempting on her own volition. #it would have done a lot to give renly and loras more sway but would have done jack shit for marg personally and she would recognize that #the sad thing is I don't think she would have refused to do it altogether but it definitely wasn't the same prospect to her #as trying to marry joffrey or tommen #like yes marg wanted power she wanted to be THE queen but it's just Different under those circumstances #unsettling implications aside #with joffrey or tommen she felt she could have power over them at the very least #which is what put her into competition with cersei bc cersei wanted to keep that control over her sons #robert was much older and already married and she wouldn't have any power over him. cersei didn't and she's cersei fucking lannister. #and plus being seen as a 'mistress' first would have been bad for her reputation and we know how important her reputation is to her #and on top of all of that what is the fucking point??? if robert was almost guaranteed to die when she's still young???? #then she'd just have to marry joffrey anyway if she had any hope to remain queen #but that would be almost impossible given the circumstances of her being previously married to his 'father' #also the irony of them planning this because they think she looks like lyanna and that will be enough to entice robert isn't lost on me #if they succeeded they would have just been damning her to the same fate lyanna had tried to run from #anyway the whole situation is just Nasty and I am shaking renly and loras by their well-conditioned hair #it's scary its gross it's ironic and sad

13, 14, 15, 26, 29 from the recent ask meme?

(13) Do you believe in reincarnation?

For the most part, I'd say yeah. I think it's very plausible, but I also think it's probably not *quite* what we think it is, if that makes any sense. That's basically my stance on all spiritual and religious beliefs -- there's probably truth to it, but we've probably got a few things wrong.

(14) Would you want to be reincarnated?

Mm... maybe. I lean more towards 'no,' but we don't always get what we want.

(15) Do you think you're special, or just another person among billions? Can you be both?

I think I'm a special kind of pain-in-the-ass.

Bad jokes aside, I think everyone's fairly unique or special in their own way and has potential for something, but few are able to really act on it. So I guess I think we can be both. Some are certainly more charismatic or influential than others, but I don't think any one human is inherently more special or valuable than the other.

(26) What's the most life-changing choice you've made so far?

In middle school we were studying ancient Greece and I decided to write a paper on Achilles (but you'll see me refer to him as 'Akhilleus' on my blog if I ever talk about him, for personal reasons).

Spoiler: I didn't stop researching after I finished my project and it led me down a whoooooooole different path in life.

(29) Do you believe in some form of god/s?

I do, but my beliefs are hard to explain with words and kinda... complicated, I guess?

I definitely believe in some forms of gods, but my belief is that the true nature of divinity is very much beyond human comprehension, and that gods have a symbiotic relationship to humans the same way different animals in the ecosystem do.

Like... I don't believe gods necessarily created the world, or that humans invented gods. I think gods exist in some form we cannot understand, and that much like humans and other animals, they adapt and change over time.

I don't believe ANY religion has all of the answers or even most of the answers, and I think it's absolutely bonkers how wild people will get about their arguments over gods and religion.

I think there's just a lot of things humans will never, ever fully understand, and the challenge of that is what makes it all so very fascinating to me. I'm a lot like Kimmuriel in this regard, I suppose: somewhere out there, there is a hard limit as to what I am capable of knowing, but that does not deter me in the slightest as I will keep trying to learn anyway.

#ask meme #I really went on a tangent with that last one oops #it's weird being an academic-turned-pagan because like #I don't fit in with the fruity crystal chakra *~*woo*~* crowd AT. ALL. #but I'm actually fairly okay with say witchcraft in the sense that as someone fascinated with history #I can really see the value in wanting to participate in old rituals for your own enjoyment even if nothing actually comes of it #because honestly a lot of the times when I engage in Hellenic or Norse activities #it's not so much that I'm convinced that something majorly spiritual will happen #as it is that I just like the activity itself and the prospect of reconnecting with an aspect of humans #that existed thousands of year prior #and showing some solidarity through the ever-changing times of humanity #and if the gods like it too then that's even better #but then that also isolates me from the truly reconstructionist communities #because while my beliefs aren't like fruity woo they're definitely not in full alignment with the more traditionalist people #so I don't fit in very well on either side #which is why I almost never try to engage with the pagan community these days

Already mourning the fact that there is probably no way I’m gonna be able to stay up to blog about the West Coast shows, as an East Coaster, because of work. </3

#personal #I know I keep saying it but there are definitely disadvantages to having to get up for work at 3/4 AM. #And I can't be one of those people who like sets an alarm for the shows LMAO. #Especially starting in Portland... 12:30 AM my time is when those shows start. #Even though I am gonna try and stay up for one of the LA dates and especially the last US date which I think is WWWY Fest right? #I hate having to participate in capitalism. #I'll be able to participate in the aftermath of it all mostly. #I stayed up to do it for the Shrine show and I had to work the next day and I FELT it.
