#AND I'M SORRY. i understand now<3

[jonathanrook]

to the people in the mall parking lot today who saw me pull into a parking space, try to straighten up my car, get out, realize it was too crooked to ignore, get back in the car, try to straighten it again, then give up and drive away, idk what you're talking about that didn't happen

#rachel rants #i used to make fun of one of my friends for always parking as far away from the entrance as humanly possible #AND I'M SORRY. i understand now<3

ok so as someone still relatively new to TWST (and someone just taking the events as they come to EN instead of keeping up with the JP side) and as a Jack Howl simp

I am of the (CORRECT) opinion that he should absolutely get an Applepom look because... fwuffy. and hat with ear holes. and he'd be SO insistent that he's used to the cold and doesn't need it but he will take it once it's insisted on because he's polite and won't refuse Gramma Felmier

Also I think a fun twist on the "someone's sled breaks and their plushie tears so they have to come up with another idea" bit from the other event is that Jack goes wolf mode to pull the sled (because as said in his starsending wish he pulls sleds back at home on breaks to try and get faster as a wolf!)

I'm biased though because I need more Jacc in my life

Thoughts?

thank you anon for bringing the mental image of harveston Jack into my life. he would be SO fluffy...so warm...he would haul so many apples...

also while I love the imagery of him pulling the sled, I feel like that would probably get them insta-disqualified. :( unless they can somehow 1) convince the judges that this enormous talking wolf is actually a very well-made plush, and 2) get Jack to go along with it (I do think Jack would instantly respect Marja as being more alpha or whatever and would have to, like, choose between his sense of JUSTICE, or going along with cheating at this sporting event so an authority figure doesn't get mad at him) (...wait this is just the plot of episode 2 again) (DANGIT)

#art #twisted wonderland #marja would never stand for cheating though. this is NOT how she became idia's sports anime waifu. #that said we deserve a jack in cuddly winter knits #maybe next winter-themed event... #if i remember right he also canonically snowboards and now i suddenly want a card of that #i want to see whatever weird fantasy twist on snowboarding they would do for an event #jack: for contrived reasons i need 3-5 peers to join my traditional hometown competition where the boards are made of candy or whatever #no you don't understand it would be like...peppermint-themed and extremely cute. i actually do very much want this now. #(sorry to keep doing the marker-style stuff i'm just having fun with ~brushes~) #(also sorry for taking forever with this) (stuff is busy right now!) #(eyes slide away from inbox timestamps...)

i wanted to put these four together chatting, cooking, dancing, and trust

#witch hat tag #orufrey #sorry for repost of 3 of these images the 4th is new. #based on kitchen chapter 10 and all the emotions that a COOKING SPINOFF gives me. it looks uh. weird. to me. now #but i understand what i mean. always. i like that art can be a way of capturing that for you (and writing) #secrets and food and the one dance we've danced our whole lives and The mountain apple - your heart - the trust i have for you #“If you're the one saying it then it must be true” no offence but yet again official translation chose something paltry compared to that #What if i would die first before i would poison you but what if your trust in me is killing us #What if you're the one who should be trusted wholeheartedly yet still I'm the one who holds back? Who does not take the apple? #What if this is SO evocative of yet so different to the cantarella scene in utena and cai loses their marbles for real this time #drawing wine drops from the apples makes it look like the snow white apple. i cant take it #a week (or 4 days) of randomly trying to be more intuitive with composition or..idk. this weird sloopy brush is good for that. Sloopy i say

I get sad thinking about how during ichigo and grimmjows fight in hm. Particularly the moment when he see sees orihime's terrified reaction to his mask. I think he considered her previous trauma with acid wire ofc, but how must he have felt when orihime looked at him like that? She was the girl who managed to make friends with everyone and empathized so deeply with even her enemies, let alone her closer friends. And she was looking at him, completely frozen with fear, and he hated being the source of it. It just makes my feelers hurt so bad for some reason :(

i think the great thing about this fight is that it lets you empathize with both ichigo and orihime without diminishing either of their feelings, which is just. good writing. i'd go so far as to say this fight is also superb because of how it manages to address many overarching themes at once: a) ichigo's human-hollow struggle that keeps rearing its head every now and then b) orihime's complicated relationship with violence c) grimmjow's twisted desire to feel validated by ichigo, who he sees as his own mirror d) ichigo & orihime's long-term struggle to cross the chasm that separates them and meet in the middle.

a lot of people focus on orihime's fear here, but the truth is, ichigo himself was afraid of his hollow and was NOT confident about his ability to control it. when he tells orihime not to be afraid without his mask on, he looks at her and smiles. with the mask, he doesn't even make eye contact. when he accidentally does make eye contact later on in the fight, it crushes him, and the beauty of this fight is that it's all carried out through body language. his heart sinks, and so does yours, if you're invested in the fight. ichigo's entire arc so far has been about mastering this side of himself that he's desperately afraid of losing to, and now the person he's protecting is afraid of him, too. he begins doubting himself: what if grimmjow is right? what if he really did just come here to fight?

if you look at orihime's side of things, she's not wrong either. orihime's entire arc was about self-doubt at this time. she was never really sure of her worth to others, so how could she be sure that ichigo, who's reiatsu is rougher and darker than usual (just like her dead brother) was fighting for her? she does eventually realize her effect on him with a little help from nel. but in the end, nel's testimony doesn't matter much either because orihime realizes she would love ichigo even if he wasn't fighting for her. she just doesn't want him to get hurt.

lucky for us, grimmjow isn't right and it's obvious that ichigo did indeed come to fight him—if only to protect everyone and take orihime back home. fighting is ichigo's means to an end. his reaction to orihime is our indicator of that. the great thing about this fight is what it tells us—that if ichigo was this affected by orihime's face, then it means he truly didn't come here just to fight. that nel's cheers did nothing to grab ichigo's attention, but orihime's first broken whisper did. that having orihime nearby reminds him of what he's fighting for, which is something that literally saves his human life when he's in vasto lorde form. he left his heart with her, just as she did with him before she left. if we began this journey with rangiku saying ichigo needs orihime, this arc shows us how. this fight shows us how. yes, orihime's fear caused him some pain, but none of us can deny how cocky he got when she cheered for him, either, so it goes both ways :D

#i loved this volume very much & now that we have lust & horn of salvation their arc is complete :)))) #each ichihime moment has got to be seen as a conversation with other ichihime moments #and that's when you realize how nicely their romantic subplot has been fleshed out over arcs #personal biases aside i dont really understand calling IH rushed when they're the one part of the story that WASN'T rushed #every arc gave them a new status quo to navigate and among all the canon married couples #they're the one we spent the longest time with - even compared to ren&rukia #like sorry for waxing poetic about it i'm sure everyone feels this way about their favorite ships but i loooove IH <3 they're so good #asks #ichihime

I can't find art of my ship anywhere so I GUESS that means I have to make it myself, here are some doodles.

#ugh i can't believe i have to make my own shipping fanart #tfw you're complaining to your sister that you can't find any content of them but then you remember you have the power #man i do not know how to draw kissing or hugging or any of that romantic stuff #mostly i just know how to put paragraphs of dialogue in between two talking heads #but this seems to be something of a rarepair even though they are obsessed with each other so i suppose i gotta try #karlach #lae'zel #shipping #bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #karlzel #i think that's the ship name but i have found so little of them that i'm genuinely not sure #laelach #(just in case) #but come on they're perfect! they're sunshine/raincloud! dog energy/cat energy! tall/small! hot and cold! canonically into each other! #character who represses sadness and character who doesn't understand happiness! pretty girls who can both bench press each other! #considering what their banter looks like i don't get how this isn't a more popular pairing. who else does karlach wistfully sigh over? #my sister tells me that lae'zel is not well-liked by the wider fandom and that that may be why (so sorry if other people have bad taste) #or maybe people don't often put the barbarian and the fighter together in the same party at the same time #anyway now that you're 100% convinced feel free to draw them making out so that i don't have to k thx <3

- grief hues - -

a little visual reflection over the past three months. i moved to new york city, and wanted to explore the tension that comes with going to a place everyone expects you to be excited about while the grief of leaving is still very heavy. all pictures by me.

(april 2024)

#personal issues #photography #art #visual poetry #kinda? #sorry if you saw this on insta or twitter #i have updated tumblr on my life for over a dozen years #and i'm not going to stop now #mine mine all mine #sometimes i need to create to understand my emotions #or to process them #something about creating a mirror and then holding it up #idk #new york city #sorry i keep adding tags like they're commentary but i keep thinking of things #like in the scheme of things and all the death destruction sadness in the world #moving is Not the worst grief that i can experience #it's not even the worst that i have experienced! #but i am feeling it and so therefore it needs to be acknowledged and processed #<3

after spending the last week very stressed out and losing sleep over how much i regretted giving my number to a stranger, and after talking to several friends who all gave me the same very wise advice ("decide first what YOU want out of this and make decisions based on that" sounds obvious now but honestly blew my mind), i saw food truck man again today and he asked me if i have a boyfriend, told me he's all alone, hugged me twice, and tried to kiss me. i texted him after to be like just to be clear, i don't want a boyfriend, but i hope you find somebody! and he texted me back: i don't need a girlfriend. i'm married.

#AHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA #i was actually so upset after he tried to kiss me. technically he did kiss me but not on the mouth because i would not turn my head lol #but i was like you know what i am an adult and i am going to be soooo mature right now. watch how mature i can be #and sent him this text #and then got that response and honestly now i feel a lot better about everything?? for some reason #i am not really understanding all of my reactions to this situation i need some time to process #but ultimately i have learned some new things about myself (or i probably will once i have processed lol) #and i'm actually quite proud of that text because i could have psyched myself out too much to send it #which i think would have just made me continue to be stressed about this #but i didn't!! i wrote it and i sent it and i didn't overthink it. yay me #sorry 2 everyone who wanted me to have a sexy time but it turns out i did not want to have a sexy time! #and i decided to take some advice that i should only do things i want to do <3 thank you to all my wise friends #it is a work in progress because he asked if he could hug me and i didn't really want to do that but i said okay #baby steps! working on it! #i feel insane though because i usually have a much easier time saying no than most people i know #so i don't know what's happening. it's because i gave him my number. i felt like by doing that i had consented to other things #but i hadn't. and even if i had i can withdraw consent at any time. yes. i do know this

[crunchycrystals]

that geras scene at the end is killing me as someone who has also been fighting for so long to survive middle school, to survive high school, to just make it to adulthood. i'm so tired and i can barely think further than a year or two from now but the book has been constantly referencing looking back on your past and imagining a future where it gets better because as you get older you keep improving, you keep going, and i really needed that. i can imagine a world like percy was where i'm old and sitting on a porch with a friend, actually being able to rest instead of fighting just to make it through the day. growing older with people so i can look back and tell myself now that it really does get better.

#crunchyposts #pjo #cotg #cotg spoilers #reading commentary #me ventilating #hey sorry ive been going through it for the past few weeks and this sums up exactly how i'm feeling #this series really just got it like i've been fighting demons in my head since i was around 11 years old close to the same age as percy #i was an undiagnosed neurodivergent child who got to see someone like them who dealt with the same stuff #and now im closer to his age in cotg and its still the same stuff #it just means a lot to me :') #it was what he said about rest that really got me because i dont think ive been able to rest in the past 3 years maybe even more #im so so tired dude. but i keep going. im still here. 11 year old me made it and me now will make it #like what sally said i feel helpless thinking about being (age in 2020) not understanding why my brain worked that way #but that person made it through and i will keep making it through

[neversetyoufree]

Wait okay I need someone with more fluency in Japanese than me to weigh in on what I'm seeing here:

This is a word from a speech bubble on the lady Archiviste page of the VnC 58 teaser. The kanji there is the word "story," but the furigana spells out "world." It reads to me like she's simultaneously saying something like "the stories we've seen" and "the worlds we've seen."

Am I reading this right? Is there, like, cultural and linguistic context for this that I'm missing? Is this a pre-existing play on words? Or am I right that this is kind of implying that the speaker is equates the ideas of "story" and "world?"

I'll put the full page under the cut in case the context makes a difference.

#this immediately set my alarm bells off #I *think* I understand what she's going for here #but I'm always incredibly hesitant to base meta on japanese text without asking for clarification first #bc my understanding of the language is. rough at the best of times. #as evidenced by the fact that the last time I asked for a fact check like this. my translation was wrong #vnc #vanitas no carte #<<main tagging so people see it and can help me <3 #no alt text this time because. like. furigana #I'm sorry I don't have the brain cells right now to think of how to wrangle furigana into an english screenreader friendly format #not described #translation

in whatever i have going on with my durge there's basically an extended family like we have iustitia that i consider as the older sibling, their twin sister prudentia, then there's the dragonborn durge, and then there's orin as the younger sibling and i imagine them all sitting at a table for lunch with blood or whatever rocks their boat with iustitia at the head of the table trying her best to ignore the knifes throwing from one side to the other and the insults like in some cartoonish type of fashion until they lose their temper and go (slams fist on the table) enough! orin you are indeed a freak, dragon brother you are a necrophile so jot that down, prudentia stop trying to eat my butler and everyone just shut the fuck up for a moment i'm trying to think of the ways i can fuck an elder brain

#rena.txt #sorry this is so weird of me i never talk of durge on here i'm on a streak today #i like all the potential of the fucked upfamily dynamics and that's all it's literally awakening some interest for my durge in me finally #at this point i should come up with a name for the dragondurge since i'm adopting him in my canon #also titi is very fond of prudentia and actually relies a lot on dragonbrother and considers him her right hand while she has a pretty much #disinterest for orin (they say they don't Get her while they also never tried to actually understand her) and there's a slightly veiled #despise there that titi herself doesn't control and leads to orin despising them back. i think she sees them as some kind of figure to #look up to but in a complicated way so the fact they love each of their siblings BUT her makes orin lose it very badly. like isn't she #worthy of the love like everyone else? which also plays a big part on the later tadpolization of titi like are u proud of me yet my kin? <3 #+ her killing both prudentia and dragonbrother so maybe NOW iustitia will have a free spot for orin in their heart..for her and her only #okay i'm done i need to be normal rn #oc: iustitia #oc: prudentia #this goes into their tags so i don't forgor..

hey i forgot i drew art last night lmfao uhhhhh anyways headcanon time:

embodiment of Bad Decisions and mania. of course

Was not always like that though there Was a short period of time before The Fuckenings when E-chem was relatively normal probably

this guy does Not have a braincell . it barely even has a brain. look at it. its brain is literally falling out the remnants of its skull LMAO

not pictured bc it was like 3 am when i was drawing this but electrochemistry can also just slither around if it decides to not have legs that day it's Fine!

I imagine every Skill of Harry's holds at least Some bits of his weird beliefs and it's not just all One Skill's Doing or whatever so anyways w that in mind E-chem holds most of his delusions & whatnot. yeehaw

dating like half of the Psyche group & it wants Inland & Auth to also be besties sososo badly and neither of them are FUCKING having any of that shit. </3!

i had more in mind and then forgot them. fuck it all

#artists on tumblr #my art #electrochemistry disco elysium #disco Elysium #the skills disco elysium #i want to make it known i was 100% going to write 'kys' but at 3 am facing the sudden Fuit Gummy Taking zeffect #i could n9t bring myself to write fhat lest i'd get Cursed. sorry #also yes im projecting fucka youe. #something something I'm wording in-sys dynamics into Singlet Terms whatever. you understand #im going to fucking pass out now ciao. etc. etc.

all the stuff that could be avoided if you just played the game before making ship art of characters you don't even know so you didn't accidentally erase the identity of the one character who has theirs stated basically textually within the first twelth of the game...

#you don't even like the game or the characters at this point you just like this... weird à-priori you have of it. you just like what has #come to you through a game of telephone almost 20 years long. #i still don't know the details of this situation because i know i'm not being told everything #and it feels kinda silly to be made privy in tiny bits (but also i understand why not everything would be shared with me it's kinda not my #bizness) but this is such. my god. skill issue. #hate gatekeeping i do but like. not even making it to DAY 3? #DAY 3? it was too hard to wait until DAY 3 before ship art? #i hate the term “shipping brain” because i consider ship art to be. sorry for my words. Valid & an important part of fandom #but now... THIS is shipping brain. not even able to hold back before day 3 out of 36(!). you don't even know these people. #anyways. forever giggling at this point. day 3. not even day 3. you could just watch a let's play at least...
