Do you have any SDV hot takes?

Boy do I ever Anon! Thank you for giving me the chance to get on my soapbox about this.

Shane doesn't relapse when he is happily married to the Farmer. The popular "relapse" interpretation is based on faulty assumptions about what substance abuse recovery is supposed to look like and flat-out misreadings of the text of the game.

Shane doesn't "start" drinking again: he never stops, just reduces the amount he drinks. (Unless we are supposed to interpret the phrase "cut back" in the 7 Heart Event as meaning "quit” or "gave up” for some reason. Or if we ignore the new 1.6 dialogue about him drinking less after his 6 Heart event.)

Shane's mess is not a consequence of uncontrolled drinking, but a consequence of his depression and possible under-managed ADHD. His room at Marnie's remains exactly as messy when he's in recovery as it is when he's spiraling, so the drinking has no effect on his cleanliness.

”Okay,” you might say, “but he still shouldn’t drink, and he should pick up his room.” And sure, yeah. Ideally we should all do the same. But that’s not always a fair or realistic expectation for everyone. Not everyone can quit their addictions or bad habits cold turkey. Not everyone is going to be the model citizen. That doesn’t mean they can’t live happy lives. That doesn’t mean they don’t have value. That doesn’t mean Shane doesn’t have value.

So instead of complaining about the ways that Shane fails to measure up to typical adult standards, it may be more productive to ask: is he happy? Is he doing okay? By any reasonable measure, a married Shane is living his best possible life. He‘s surprised and delighted to be your trophy husband. He doesn’t have to worry about taking a soul-sucking job or struggling with unemployment. His drinking isn’t causing him any problems, and if he can’t keep his personal space clean, at least he doesn’t let his mess spread to the rest of the house. He has his own little coop for Charlie and it’s just adorable to watch him bounce her up and down. He actually makes time for Jas. I am not requiring everyone to love Shane the way he is written, or to make space in their farmhouse for him. But please, have realistic expectations for the character that exists. And do make friends with him. He gives you an OP recipe and access to blue chickens!

#My other hot take is that people shouldn’t install mods that “fix” NPC character flaws #Yeah it bothers me too when Penny pushes George’s wheelchair without consent or when Clint gets on his “Nice Guy” hobbyhorse #But CA gave these characters flaws for a reason #Flaws add interest and depth to characters #Instead of knee jerk rejecting my discomfort with the character’s bad behavior #I can sit with it and reflect on my own behavior and values #And I can recognize the worth even in characters who don’t share my values #Or who don’t change and grow in the “right” way #After all I’m not gonna share all your values #Or always change and grow the way I ought to #But we all gotta live together and give each other a little grace #Anywho those are my hot takes #Thank you for your time #shane stardew valley #stardew valley #media analysis #media criticism #media literacy

I am legit sobbing over this images I AM NOT OKAY

When a ship takes over my life that even just seeing the actors together makes me feel so many things

Context: This are the live actions actors for Quan Yizhen and Yin Yu. The one with the hat in the first pic and glasses in the second one is Yin Yu’s actor (Wang Jia Yu), while the one being carried in the first and the one taking the pic in the second one is Quan Yizhen’s (Liu Zi Rui/Ray Liu)

The second pic is from Liu Zi Rui’s weibo while the first one is (from what I am assuming) a fan account for Liu Zi Rui.

Tbh, at this point I just want Eternal Faith to release just for the QuanYin crumbs. I am starving over here and just need some QuanYin content in my life.

I would also love it if any fan artists decide to draw these as QuanYin. Especially the first pic

#yeyarants #tgcf #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #mxtx tgcf #mxtx #mo xiang tong xiu #eternal faith #quanyin #quan yizhen #yin yu #Liu Zi Rui #Wang Jia Yu #only reason I want to watch Eternal Faith #jk jk but honestly? #please!🙏 #just give me QuanYin I am begging on my knees for this #ugh i love them so much #I mean QuanYin #ok but the actors are cast really well #my opinion personally #I can’t believe they’re gonna call Wang Jia Yu plain #come on now #he is not #dude seeing the actors of my OTP being friends?? this is the equivalent of winning the lottery for me #omg I’m gonna be unhealthy about this

Ok, I'm burnt out, pretty grumpy, and having a really hard time, so I'll be turning asks off for awhile. Posting will be more sporadic. I know I don't have to announce things like this, I figure I'll let people know so they don't think I'm ignoring them or anything. I'm just having a shit time, y'all.

Take care, everyone.

#personal #blog post #sorry for literally just coning back from a posting a break and leaving immediately after #shit just really fucking sucks today #I've been having a shit time throughout this entire move #but the moment we got on the road and the moments after have been fucking hell #i didnt sleep well most of these nights either #as I've been sharing a bed with my mom #and she's used to a bigger bed so she keep stealing blankets and kneeing me in the side #I'm just having a shit time #even spirituality has veen difficult lately #i haven't been able to feel the presence of any deities and that's been reallt hard #because it feels like I'm praying without reason sometimes #but i try to push through those feelings #but i also just feel bad that i keep asking and asking for hwlp without being able to give offerings atm #i just don't feel well #and there's not much i can do about it

Lucifer: "I miss my wife too, but you don't see me killing people and eating them..."

Alastor: "Technically I ate him while he still alive. He tastes better that way. If he's dead and then I eat him, he taste downright awful."

Lucifer: "Not my point. You're never going to get your wife back by killing her boyfriend. You need to, I don't know. But obviously something. Maybe cuddle her? Lilith loved cuddling."

____

Vox: "What, exactly did you do to make Alastor mad?"

Valentino: "Nothing!"

Velvette: "Liar! You blatantly told Alastor that Vox loved Hannibal's gumbo far better then Alastor's own...and you would have said more had Will not shot you a look."

Vox: "I think you deserved to be eaten. And if Hannibal comes after you, you'll deserve it too. Now excuse me, I have to send Alastor medicine for his stomach--you probably made him sick, and we have an Overlords meeting coming up."

dawe als the original wifeguy. hes not doing a very good job at it but like he's trying his best to win his wife back!! let him cook! or, wait, shit is that valentino on the fucking grill-

I FUCKIGN FORGOT LUCIFER WAS DIVORECD TOO AGWHHAHAHA u guys need to stop sending me funny asks while im drinking tea it keeps getting all over my table

>wife's boyfriend IM SOBBIGN all i can imagine is that one meme where its like 'this is my wife vox and this is his boyfriend valentino. i ate his bf once and not in the sex way'

is hannibal also from louisiana? this is a genuine q btw idk any of the show lore.... also vox sending al medicine even though theyre bitterly divorced. oh my god theyre soooo sweet i think theyre so silly. he ships over like a whole bunch of those warming pads and painkillers + tumtums and like pillows and pjs and al shows up at the overlords meeting looking like a sick victorian child just to get vox to feel even worse for him HAHAHA

#staticradio #general asks #hazbin hotel #ran rambles #now see if it were me in his place #iwould simply get down on my knees and beg to be taken back #lot of things can be solved if you simply give up your pride methinks #then again they are in the pride ring for a reason.... #radiostatic #edit #....i used the wrong tag

Don't you just love it when the girls create the most toxic sludge of an environment?

#i love it when characters have the most hostile relationship #and the reason they hate each other is so so so fundamentally stupid #its so human of them <33 #yes this is about byleth and leonie i cant stop thinking about how much they hate each other especially in 3 hopes #byleth is such a bitch in that game i love it so so much #her little death glares have me on my kNEES #and Leonies daddy issues will never not be funny to me. but especially when Jeralt literally gives negative 8 shits about how much his #kid hates this girl who has claimed him as a mentor. jeralt really said 'whatever i dont care as long as i get booze at the end of this' #3 hopes is such a funny game to me i love it

[voraxiia]

remember there was a time when i said i wouldn't know how to quit tumblr

( there's a small rant going on in the tags but the point is i miss it here ok and i hope everyone's having a splendid day / week / month and your favourite treat is on sale bc you deserve it )

#// i would like to thank my parents and teachers and everyone who convinced me to be a doctor #// i now have raging depriety and gastritis and there are firecrackers in my knees everytime i even slightly bend them #// i also cry when people are nice to me bc i'm used to being treated like i'm a dumbass b*tch #// and people refuse to teach you how to handle things so that when there are urgent situations they can take time to insult you #// instead of idk give instructions/orders what to do to be useful #// like if you really wanted to do everything yourself just shut up and do it it's quicker that way #// ' what are you doing ' idk waiting for you to send the link to access your brain and download the information we should magically know #// also bc i already have a diagnosis it's more tricky to ask for a leave for some reason #// bc apparently it'll easily become ' proof ' that i'm not fit for the job after all and 7 years of hard work and money will go to waste #// and i haven't even gotten my first paycheck #// so of course it would be better to wait my turn for 2.5 hours at the ED with a ' less severe ' diagnosis for the day #// like oh no my tummy hurts so much for some reason today but it's totally not bc of anxiety pfft what's an anxiety

Sitting down to floss and brush my teeth has been lifechanging. On a completely unrelated note how the fuck am I supposed to have this skeleton for several more decades. It’s all over for me lads 😔

#knees hurt. hips hurt. back hurts. wrists hurt. swag #it’s not this bad most of the time but by the end of the day it’s like auuuugh #it really is too bad that I’ve got extreme doctor fears because of the IssuesTM! #and oh yeah I don’t have health insurance LOL… #which I am using as a convenient excuse to avoid going to the doctors LOL #i have some doctor ~traumas~ I think LOL! #im working up to it. it’s glacial. sometime this year maybe? #I went twice as an adult and both times were for health forms for college enrollment #I’ve been to the ER and an urgent care once or twice though so clearly I’m FINE… #this is BAD do not be like me #but it’s only become clear to me in the past year or two that the incidents in my childhood reeeeally affected me #and to have US healthcare be such a profoundly difficult and punitive process basically means I am just never going to like jump through #those hoops only to be confronted with a severe phobia lol #im not saying that’s a reasonable train of thought but it’s more that that’s my subconscious reasoning #but it is a 2024 goal to get seen by a doctor #but the other thing is that it’s so fucking clear to me that they will do NOTHING for either PMDD or my joint pain which are my chief #complaints at the moment #but like i should probably be like getting routine panels and Pap smears :-( #everything’s SO EXPENSIVE… #They’ll be like give me your blood. ok all normal everything is healthy. ok that’ll be literally $200 #:-( #ugh I’m upsetting myself just thinking about doctors. ok Goodnight #(with full intention to keep scrolling)

#just saw some wriorinde ship art with chlorinde handcuffed kneeling in front of wrio…… #made me wanna vomit tbh #how am i supposed to protect my peace when shit like this is being delivered right to my face by elon musks stupid fucking app #fucking blindsided with dom male character content #delete later #the craziest part is that wriothesley would be the one on his knees handcuffed and muzzled for chlorinde #my fellow dom women #begging for even just her foot to rub himself on #the only reason i kinda like this ship is bc this is vibes it gives off #people just hate to see women in power smh

[rawliverandgoronspice]

my goal with all my Thralls designs, especially those that appear in part 1 (yes there are parts, don't ask..........), is that you could reduce them to 30 polygons and they would still somewhat read as those characters. so Big Shapes it is.

#thoughts #thralls of power #animatic project #this is the reason behind serielle's absolutely stupid hairdo #this would read well in a N64 scenario. and I'm trying to maintain that sort of cohesion #Maddsen is almost too tame for the general artistic vibe #I tried to give him a stupid necklace that is way too big and ornate and to limit details #but #(also my new designs don't look nearly sweaty enough) #(all the oot characters feel sweaty to me for some reason) #(I think it's the concept art's fault the way they are rendered make them feel sweaty) #(also: not enough knees nor belly buttons showing. everyone's knees are out in this game. or at least the leg shape is emphasized) #(totk had the feet and oot had the knees.... TP had the tits.) #(this series has range. or something)

putting verilog in the blender

#PLEAAAAASEEEE i just want a language that lets me debug properly 😭😭 give me back c im on my KNEES #personal #the engineering chronicles #i got the lcd to print the first press of the keypad but it won’t print past that (it’s supposed to print 4) #after first keypad press/print (and after Anything is printed to it) it goes to a delay state and then back to the print state #but for some reason after first keypad press it goes to delay state and does not appear to be leaving it (i have to track these states with #leds bc debugging w it is otherwise impossible). but Nothing in the delay state changes when i press the key so ????? hello 😭 #also it takes forever to get anything onto the board and you have to use begin and end and they don’t lead back to each other like c #brackets do. the begin end thing is just a personal hang up but still

Yo yall should ask me about my character playlists. I have 4

Sigma (15 songs), Atsushi(13 songs), Dazai(11 songs), and Yosano (I only just started it today tho so it's only 5 songs still)

There's also my Kenji one but I couldn't ramble about most of those songs

#spoken casually #but with the understanding that i am held back only by the knowledge that i will be so abnormal and out of proportion with thus if anyone #gives even the slightest word or indication that they would be okay with that #i will not be abnormal for no reason #but prompted i can allow myself to write long ass multi paragraph essays about each individual song speaking on vibes pulling out specific #lyrics connecting them to events #i want to do this so bad #im on my hands and knees #my anxiety will not let me unless someone asks specifically for me to do it #but i want to scream about them for hours im begging

That feeling when you get a plotbunny for a fandom where you don’t even go, IN A CONLANG, and you don’t have anyone who knows it so it’s just pingponging around in your brain

#I never played ar tonelico but I read LPs way back when #and once in a while my brain latches on to the worldbuilding and the SUNG CONLANG PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE OF MAGIC #(seriously that string of words is catnip for me) #and wants to do something with it #this time it’s… well whenever my brain sees 'XYZ group can’t be boys/girls because reasons' I go 'okay but consider: trans people' #so now my brain is giving me vague ideas about a trans dude reyvateil who tries to hack his Singing voice #since from what the wiki says it sounds like the Tower handles how it sounds when someone Sings #and I’m knee deep in the wiki for something I’ll never write trying to figure out what to hack and how #doesn’t help that all the Hymmnos I know is some of the emotion words #so all my brain gives me is 'holy shit if he gets to Sing the last bit in his new voice and it starts with 'was yea erra'' #(which I guess gives me some extra corner points in that an IPD reyvateil needs to be involved and it’s not him since that’s standard) #(because for the change to be implemented mid Song it’d have to be executed sequentially and you can’t do that with standard) #(and if he’s the ipd he’d want his Song to have as much power as possible and not bother with emulation) #(I guess there’s a bit of plot there in that he tries on his own but fails and something something the value of community) #(maybe part of the failure is that his approach features emotion sounds that his actual feelings clash with due to his voice) #(since the change would only go through at the end) #(so I guess the patch would in part be porting the lines he struggles with to New Testament of Pastalia so the other person can take them) #(and run them as they’re Sung) #I HAVE NEVER EVEN PLAYED THE GAMES
