home shopping channels are the best thing to happen to steve and robin and the worst thing to happen to everyone else

#everyone either gets a state quarter collection kit a crystal pitcher or steak knives for christmas #stobin #actually everyone except dustin #he gets one of those railroad crossing sign piggy banks #you know the tall ones that make train sounds and light up? #it’s defective though and the only way to turn it off is to take the batteries out

sorry for speaking my truth it will happen again. i think my main issue with valax’s redemption arc is literally just that there’s never a moment where the mc gets to actually talk to her about what she did—there’s not really a cathartic conversation, so valax and mc moving past what she did to them feels less like forgiveness and redemption and more like an agreement to ignore the elephant in the room

like sure we got to talk about our trauma (in chapter 17 of 20. lol. lmao, even) to the party, but valax wasn’t present for that?? and like, sure, she says once that she is sorry “for the pain she caused [them]”, but there’s a difference Tew Me between “sorry for hurting you ig ✌️😗” and actually being like “yeah, i abducted you and forced you into a magically induced coma and stole your blood and robbed you of a full year of your life and repeatedly tried to murder you, to say nothing of the grief i caused your loved ones. i did all that shit and i’m sorry for it and deeply regret it, and i acknowledge that you don’t owe me forgiveness, but i will spend the rest of my life working to build a better world for my people instead of being my mother’s pawn”, and a difference between “my mother is unhappy with me for saving you :(” and actually like, giving the mc space to talk about the impact of her actions towards them. like girl you are not getting out of this shit with one sentence’s worth of apology and a sex scene lmfao!!!

during the first half or so of the book the focus for mc is not falling the fuck apart bc they have a friend group to tentatively piece together and they’re averse to showing fear in front of valax, so they’re repressing all their trauma—and by the time valax joins the party, the narrative has gone full Valax Cool And Good mode, and fully allows you to flirt with her and tease her and generally stops taking her seriously as an antagonist. which would be all fine and good if we had actually at any point gotten to be like, “hey, you abducting me and keeping me in a magically induced coma and stealing my blood and trying to kill me has actually caused me a lot of lasting fear and pain,” followed by some set of choices wrt forgiving or not forgiving her for all that in light of the revelation that she did all that shit bc her mom tortured and brainwashed her

like why are my friends more pissed off about the time this bitch abducted me and did evil little experiments on me than i am. free valax she did all that shit bc of her mommy issues but i should’ve gotten to call her a cunt just once. pb stop making all your mcs generals in the idgaf war challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

i think light yagami is "socially adept" in terms of being able to reason out relatively well what to say and do to come off as a harmless and good and polite young man who is likeable to be around. however i do not think "socially adept" (or "neurotypical") typically comes with having to preface every other normal-passing action and statement with a minor crisis of "ah shit. quick, what would i say/do in response to this if i was light yagami, a normal and nice and respectable young man?"

everyone likes to talk about him talking about kira in third person but can we acknowledge that he also talks about LIGHT in third person. i'm not adding manga panels at 3:57am but y'all know exactly which ones i mean

#light is decent at masking but he is NOT coming off as perfect to anyone who looks at him with a critical eye. like L or near #it's just that a lot of people take him at face value #he's handsome he gets top grades his dad is the police chief his family adores him girls like him etc #and he gets to skate off of that a lot until someone comes around and questions the mask #he unravels so fast once he gets closer to L. he fucks up the misa thing so badly even HE has to admit to L's face #that kira probably didn't think things through with the second kira and kind of panicked #ughhhhhhhhhhh i have so many thoughts about him. he works very hard to come off as socially competent. it's a learned skill not innate #i firmly believe there is some shit going on w light in terms of mental conditions. HOWEVER #i also believe he was relatively 'normal' up until the death note sent a lot of that shit spiralling #lots of mentally ill people live pretty normal lives it turns out! a lot of us can get by and sort of manage! #even if it means masking and coping as needed #i don't think you have to be mentally ill to react to the death note the way light did #i do think it oiled some clockwork that was already ticking though #anyway. light is socially competent to some degree because he tries to be. sometimes it backfires. sometimes he misses. normal stuff #trying to say he is objectively socially adept or inept is futile though #but ig what is death note without black and white thinking and what is the dn fandom without diving into the nuances under the surface layer

Third semester, my beloved

Dialogue for anyone struggling to read it:

Akechi: For Maruki, which do you think wins? The people hoping the trains are still running in the snow, or the people hoping to be "stranded" with their crush? He can't do both, after all.

Akira: Stranded would for me, probably

Akechi: I hope you think of a better way of asking to come home with me, Akira

160 - Hi. I started reading light novels. Keep getting stuck on the most throw-away plot points.

#Hey Anna. I don't get how you're relettering that entire book by hand for a 2nd time when writing the title text for this almost killed me. #light novel #'lace has caught on with peasant women' HOW. HOW COULD THEY POSSIBLY AFFORD THAT CRAFTSMANSHIP?! #IS YOUR ECONOMY THAT GRAND? #even if they made the lace themselves how would they have time to do so? #oh the heroine picked up some lace THAT SHE JUST HAD ON HAND?! and started sewing it on to a skirt?! #But yeah reading novels on your phone turns out to be pretty enjoyable. I get why all those heroines wander into the road now #otome games less so but i just can't stand the dudes in any of them. like they have so much going on. i can't deal with them. #and so many of them are just really mean assholes. like fuck off you don't get to treat the mc that way. go work on yourself

oh oh i went to one of my classes yesterday and in the building they have a shelf full of free to take books- most of them are books that people had to get for classes but just didnt want to keep once they were done with them. anyway i picked up one of em bc i was curious and i kinda like it so far, its the revolution of everyday life n the person who last had this book must have really liked it too becaue it's full of notes in the margins n stickies and stuff. one of my favorite parts of getting secondhand books tbh. anyway im not super deep into it yet but the illustrations ive seen so far are neat and im liking the language.

"in its concrete and tactical form, the concept of class struggle constituted the first marshalling of responses to the shocks and injuries which men live individually; it was born in the whirlpool of suffering which the reduction of human relationships to mechanisms of exploitation created everywhere in industrial societies. It issued from a will to transform the world and change life."

LOVE this kind of wording tbh . but also. guy who's only played disco elysium. getting a lot of disco elysium vibes from this...

#just in the way it is written plus the headspace im in made me easily influenced to consider it in a DE light lol #its not even particularly communist its more of an anarchist leaning book? #anyway . if this book turns out to actually suck ass and someone wants to toss me and 'ummmm actually' #pinching your lisp shut. literally picked this book randomly off a shelf and cracked it open. it doesnt even have a synopsis on the back #im just experiencing it as it happens yknow i have no clue what to expect from this

Thinking about A Square being returned wrong. Mirrored. Irreversible

A Sphere fucks up, and puts him down in the wrong direction, wrong side up. It's not like he remembers, but A Square certainly does. When he wakes up- it's too late.

The third dimension never phased him, but what about something so intrinsic as your own body, flipped the wrong way? The world becoming upside-down, having to relearn to navigate the places you called home. And it's such obvious proof of the third dimension, but what if it's all in your head? No one can tell with your features being confined to a corner, you can only try to explain the distress you're going through, but if you try you'll certainly be deemed a madman.

We know his knowledge changed him, but what if it changed him physically? In a way he can never return from? He could've passed it off as the strangest dream, denied it's truth, lived the rest of his life at peace, but how do you disprove something so concrete? Would he think himself insane too, after a while?

Someone let me access a two-dimensional being i have a hypothesis that needs to be tested

#cipherspeaks #flatland #be cautious reading my next tag; its first offence is being an esoteric reference and its second is being homestuck #anyways. its kind of like in HSETAU when SS flips karkat's sprite turn-ways and he has an existential crisis about it. does that to A Squar #can you tell ive been thinking about mirrors lately. i used to be content believing the seventh and eighth directions are a sort of- #-inwards/outwards but then light chose to reflect off certain surfaces in a weird fucking way and i no longer get the easy way out #i still think fourth dimensional gravity (if it exists) would be a constant pressure from every side; both inwards and outwards- and by- #-extent think i should be allowed in the fourth dimension. please ill be so niceys i just want to experience the ultimate weighted blanket #my organs will be fine probably -but the fact is that direction is a separate and mentally damaging thing #uuuuuugh. fourth dimensional beings if youre reading this PLEAAAASE let me be your apostle id be so good at spreading the gospel and i- #-won't even bring up the fifth dimension please please please please plea

more character designs for my cluck AU

Heroblight Ganon and Cucco Zelda. 

I want to make clear that Link’s spirit has been evicted from his body, and that’s Ganondorf’s consciousness that has taken residence within it, so the character technically isn’t an evil Link.

Ganondorf doesn’t actually like being in Link’s body very much. He misses being tall, and buff, and not constantly hungry. Zelda takes offense to this, because at least he’s not poultry, thank you very much.

About Link’s injuries: While fleeing from the rampaging Guardians 100 years ago, Link tried to block a laser blast with his shield, and while his reflexes saved his life, his left arm was still severed, and the flaming debris from his exploded shield burned his face and ear. The Sheikah managed to recover the arm and put it in the Shrine of resurrection with him, which reattached it, but while it’s still useable there isn’t much feeling in it, and his left eye is blind (Ganondorf compensates for this with the Malice Eye in the helmet). The malice on his face covers the burn scars and clouded eye.

#link #princess zelda #cluck au #botw #botw au #calamity link #heroblight ganon #still dont wanna put this in many main tags lol... #the way link's supposedly fatal injuries were represented in the game always felt a bit lackluster to me #i know they didn't want to make it too graphic for obvious reasons but he just looks... a lil dirty... #so i wanted to ramp it up and damage him for real #i imagine an in-game fight with heroblight ganon would be like. he'd start out with additional mechanical arms made from guardian parts #wielding an axe and a spear #and you have to engage him while zelda (back in her human body) uses the light arrows to shoot them off #and then she'd shoot the guardian eye to disable the laser blast from it #which would start phase two where he pulls out a sword and activates a shield (the yellow circle on his left hand turns into one) #and you fight him in a sword battle #also link is not wearing clothes under all that malice. they corroded his boxers to nothing

#billdip #brainrot #i know fanchildren oc's aren't rare but this is so embarrassing to post #they have a whole backstory but no name ಥ_ಥ #fun facts about them i guess? #theyre not identical twins #they weren't birthed in the normal human way #they technically materialized literally out of thin air #the one holding the book dies her hair brown and her hair right now is blonde with brown tips #she also has more prominent demonic features #her ears are more pointed #she has fangs and she doesnt have that much human magic #so in this au theres human and demon magic and theyre similar but also very different #you use HM differently from DM #She doesnt have alot of HM but she does have alot of DM #when she was little (toddler age) she couldnt control it and would be on fire 24/7 #but she wasnt powerful enough to damage stuff #only made her surroundings warmer #and because she was a toddler her fire is white which is literally invisible in the daytime and in light #dipper found out about the white baby fire when hed tuck the twins jn bed and turned off the light #white fire everywhere #its harmless now but it could be a huge problem later #no wonder the room always felt uncomfortably warm #teaching a basically infant demon how to use DM when youve been a HM user for the majority of your whole life was a challenge #anyways the one holding the cake has poliosis and has no outward physical appearance suggesting his a demon other than his sharp teeth #he also mainly uses HM so he could pass as a human #a dickhead human with an odd sort of energy around him #ignore the mispellings please im not using a computer and its a pain in the ass to retype all of this #if you have name suggestions please do give in asks or comments #o（ｉДｉ）o just realized i reached max tag limit hh

#cw animal injury #i turned on the lights and our dog is covered in blood like??? hello??? #since when were you doing that and why didn't you tell me??? *cue frantic searching for gauze* #there's a big cut where his ankle meets his leg (inside of the hind right leg) #i have no idea how that happened #our dogs play rough but have never drawn blood #and he was outside alone and he was acting normally and not whining or anything? like speak up man i need to know this shit #his name is bunny btw and he's a big dog. purebred great pyrenees(?) if the ppl we got him from are to be trusted #i don't know how he got hurt #its way too big/deep for a cat to have done it and even if they're really upset they just paw at his face #my only guess is that there's something sharp in the yard? but it's too dark to look #idfk but we found the gauze and stuff and he did Not like that process good thing there were 3 ppl awake to hold him down safely #he still didn't whine through all of that though like. pls speak up man. we gotta know if ur in pain so we can fix it #i'm hoping it doesn't get infected. we don't have money to go to the vet but he's my sister's dog and she might actually kill someone if #he isn't fine #she has a theory that he may have gotten cut on smth our brother threw out there and like. she may literally kill him if this #was his fault and bunny isn't fine #so far he seems fine there wasn't too much blood and there seems to just be the one cut #but i didn't hear him yelp or whine or anything #and he didn't seem to be limping but the lights were off #idk man but we have cleaned him up as best we can for now but it is the middle of the night so we'll see what we can do in the morning
