#THEY CAN DIE I ATTACK THEM'

“Not my circus, not my monkeys”… Except those are his monkeys and they are the circus

#Okay so i think the idea is that Lautski is on a date and the terror duo were ABSOLUTELY stalking them #because of course they would #but (if they weren't already being the most obvious stalkers) they get caught #because then the seagulls descended #but listen okay #Why they attack (and how on earth they carried that weeb away) is up to you guys #because i dunno #i’m just here to make nonsense comics that give me a good chuckle #NPMD #nerdy prudes must die #for some reason i gave them different clothes sorta?is it obvi i dont have a sense of style at all #Pete Spankoffski #Stephanie Lauter #Richie Lipschitz #Ruth Fleming #Also i don’t know why but when it comes to drawing comics #i forget who anatomy is #i seriously don’t know her #esp when it comes to arms? Lord do i hate arms #Art #fanart #Also this whole comic stems from a story about seagulls stealing sausage links? #that's all i got for you #also im so sorry steph my beloved #i can not draw you at all and this is a curse i carry like a ball and chain #starkid #hatchetfield #//Komic

[ID: Digital illustration in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun. The illustration takes place during the ship/home arc, specifically chapter 21. At the center, Vash is grabbing Wolfwood by the collar and pulls him into a kiss in the middle of a celebration. The pair is colored in vibrant warm hues while their surroundings are colored in cooler colors like green and teals. Luida, Brad, Meryl, and Milly are shown amongst the crowd, occupied in the celebrations as Vash and Wolfwood share a moment by themselves at the center. END ID]

#vashwood #trigun #trigun maximum #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #hospital yuri (explodeds) like any average vw enjoyer i will never get over that arc #specifically the scene where they heard the news of earth ships coming and did that little handshake they somehow conjured or #Had already. and then the entire ship had a party... meryl and milly started drinking immediately from joy and dragged vash and ww to get #wasted too and overall celebrate together. the chapter moves quickly just like how the hope was quickly withered out and died just hours #later when knives destroyed it. BUT IM JUST THINKING ABOUT IN THE MOMENT OF IT ALL bc in the same chapter #ww asks for a chance for tomorrow and then gets news of earth ships coming. in this same arc vash is thinking of all the things he needs to #resolve so his home doesn't get attacked so the people he love doesn't have to die and the humans he wants to protect gets to live. #i feel like deep down they both semi-recognize that it can't be this easy and regardless of earth ships coming- there's still a wait for #them to arrive and they have to hold out. and regardless ww still has a mission to follow through and vash knows knives would find out #but in that mood of celebration the entire ship brought in - they can at least let themselves relax for a moment and indulge #how they basically engaged with no violence for the few days they were on that ship coaxing them into domesticity... i feel like their #thoughts would wander to somewhere soft and all #allowing them to push aside the tiptoeing and tenseness and be sweet for a night #ruporas art

school has been keeping me very busy so have some old wayfarer crack comics i posted to the discord but never to tumblr 🤩

#wayfarer #wayfarer game #rhys aviv #aeran kellis #tyche eriounes #rindan cenric #brissa varyn #allegra arantir #sorta leaning towards a phaedra romance for tyche but idk yet.... #my art #also pulling the weird little daorigins thing where tyche and rhys know each other from before the fall #but either dies at the spire because whoever im playing is the one who will be away during the attack #this comic is very out of canon lol its so they can be in the same place being jackasses tgt #anyways i rly need to draw tyche i love her very much #also unseen here are their two friends!! (who will also.... die at the spire....) #they are a human and aeda who are unnamed for now...... #but they also make dilf jokes about cenric when rhys is in earshot to make him cringe #it makes them laugh <3 i love playing with wayfarers like barbie dolls

I'm genuinely convinced the thought process goes:

> people who abuse children are horrible, irredeemable monsters who deserve to have their human rights stripped away and burn in hell for all eternity, no good person would ever hurt a child

> *tons of scientific evidence comes out showing that hitting your kids is basically abuse and does immense harm with absolutely no good to balance it out and in the worst cases it leaves lasting psychological damage those kids carry for life*

> but wait...my parents spanked me as punishment, but they aren't horrible evil people who deserve to die! I love my parents and they loved me, they're good people and good people would never hurt a child, and I surely don't have issues as a result of being hit, so that must mean hitting your kids isn't abusive

> the cycle continues, nothing changes, kids keep getting hit

and like I get it, I get it, but I just want to grab these people and be like "welcome to the complex reality most actual abuse survivors have to contend with every single day of our lives, it sucks, but since I've been through it I can give you the answer I had to work out over years of therapy for free; you are still allowed to love--and even FORGIVE--people who hurt you"

#ask to tag #abuse mention #child abuse mention #this is part of the reason I hate the current trend of people saying the only “progressive” abuse narrative #is one where the abuser is fucking murdered #because when you demonize a group of people so profoundly you have no idea what to do when someone you love dearly #might kind overlap with the category of humans you want to unperson #and you end up just excusing their behavior so you can keep acting like morality is black and white #and then turn around and attack any abuse survivor who has the audacity to talk about #how it isn't black and white for them and they don't feel empowered by narratives where the abusers die badly #or god forbid they ENJOY narratives where the abuser changes and apologizes #just stop and think for a second why some of us might find that cathartic

*slaps hood of jagertitty* this bad boy can fit so much christian symbolism into it

#npmd #nerdy prudes must die #max jagerman #grace chasity #jagertitty #like. i have made some posts but i can get more extensive #you're looking at the girl who based most of her henry iv analysis on religious allusion #discounting what i've already done (and i may make a post on this one): max's death #like yeah he comes back (like who else i wonder) #but the way in which he dies #Jesus knows what's coming and his last words are 'Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing' #max is doubly caught off-guard (once by the skele'on and once by actually dying) #and vows revenge with his dying breath specifically directed towards his attackers #this shows blah blah blah blah blah

My opinion on billy hargrove as a character is so complicated but I think I can boil is down as: he is one of the few realistic interpretations of an imperfect abuse victim where his actions make you uncomfortable and it can be generally agreed he doesn’t take Good actions, but even just the slightest bit of thinking can make you understand why he does what he does. Why it makes sense to him.

You can look at him and go “I empathize with you, I understand you, I could’ve been you if I didn’t have a support system” or even “I WAS you” or “I AM you” and I think the reason he is so controversially liked/disliked is there is some inherent belief that somehow despite the way you were raised, you’re supposed to just inherently know what’s right and wrong. And yeah, once you’re in recovery you tend to learn what’s right and wrong, but nowhere in Billy’s story does anyone ever tell him the way he’s being treated is wrong. No one tells him the actions he’s taking because of it are wrong. Or on the other hand, he is punished so universally for his behavior it is hard to discern when his actions are actually wrong, or if he’s being treated unfairly. He is never shown empathy or understanding until quite literally, the moment he dies.

The message of his story is that when you are isolated, abused, and angry, no one tries to help you until it’s already too late. So yeah, I think anyone can dislike a character for any reason they want, but writing him off as an abusive racist when the quite literally Point Of His Character is “this is what can happen to a person when they are never given kindness/empathy/support and it warps their morals and actions to be violent and/or prejudiced” is just. Wrong. Especially when that includes attacking people who empathize with his character.

Regardless of if you like it or not, there are real people who were like that, are like that, and they deserve love, support, and empathy as much as any “‘perfect’” abuse victim that never perpetuated the cycle. Anger is simply a product of the fear that comes with abuse. Redirecting that anger at others is a learned behavior that comes with coping with that abuse, it’s not right, but you can’t unlearn it unless you’re given a chance to heal. Every abuse victim deserves support and a chance to heal and learn from their past actions and mindsets. Understanding a mindset is not the same thing as condoning it.

So please for the love of god, leave people alone when they write a happy ending for someone they see themselves in.

#billy hargrove #stranger things #stranger things 4 #writing #discourse #like. yes watching the show is actions are upsetting and they’re Supposed To Be #you don’t have to like him!! just don’t attack people who like him and act like he’s some horrible completely unforgivable person #real people see that actually #real people can see you saying he deserved to die for Things That Happened To Them On Real Life #and you can be uncomfortable with racism in any context!! #but just like. keep in mind real people can see your shit online #no he’s not a real person but there are plenty of people like him that want to see him have a happy ending #i think people generally write this type of abuse victim badly #where their anger doesn’t Really Relate to the abuse and it comes off as like #oh you’re being bullied? well that person might have something happening at home!! #that’s not really the case with billy #yeah he’s just a dick sometimes but when he’s Really Violent it is out of a belief he is somehow protecting himself or someone else #anyway. long post

anatomy practice (exacting a pound of flesh from commanders 14 & 13)

#hanji zoe #hange zoe #erwin smith #attack on titan #shingeki no kyojin #hear me out i keep having this thought. the story takes its penalty from each of them in the form of flesh. its like #erwin loses an arm and thinks he deserves it. if he'd never raised his hand in class he'd never have doomed his father (and himself) to die #the arm with which he salutes and gives orders and slays giants and signs the lives of soldiers away #who cares if it's gone #but levi is there. the commander's right hand in every way. and he fulfills that duty until the very end and after. #hange with their microscopes and needles and ability to see things in a way that no one else can #loses an eye and erwin and the innocence of ignorance and the entire corps in a matter of hours #but levi is there. just as he's always been. tired and grief worn and stalwart. #and then levi loses and eye and half of his hand. embodying the trauma of his commanders and friends #losing pieces of himself. carrying pieces of them with him. man take a pound take two whats a pound of flesh among friends #much 2 think about. symbolically. #wherefore art thou #snk #this makes a lovely triptych with that beat-up levi i posted a while back. maybe i should collect them all into 1 like i did on inst*gr*m #'hey whats with the colors on e-' SHUT UP SHUT UP IT WAS AN ACCIDENT #blood tw #meta #(perhaps??)

Idk I think it's funny seeing people on twitter say things like "Christians want to tell you it's all a part of Jesus's plan until it's them!" cause like idk about you but I've had family members 100% say they're ready to meet the Lord than interfere with his plans via a Tylenol and a flu shot

#I had a cousin think she'd die from covid and actually lost her husband to it #only to say she wasn't scared of the virus because she had the blood of jesus over her #I still have family that says the blood of jesus will protect them better than any vaccine so they won't get it #I had an aunt scoff at me for taking birth control to control my endometriosis #and use my nebullizer for a severe asthma attack #and she refused to take her singular pill for her blood pressure until she literally couldn't see and her sister forced her to take it #she's in her 90's so ig it's more understandable but also she is v healthy for a 90 year old #like there are so many twitter users speaking from the outside that do not understand just how intense these christians can get #the politcians running off christian values or whatever? they just want power and money #aunt mary lou and uncle billy bob in the middle of nowhere georgia? #they'll hunt you for sport for even thinking about taking a claritin #my grandfather doesn't believe in allergies btw and apparently that's a p common boomer thing too #some believe in allergies but think if you have them you're meant to die from them as intended #it's fuckin wild out here #ex christian #religious trauma

kind of obsessed with how fukuchi's line about "if you attack me one by one, i will kill you one by one" has held true through this entire arc. tachihara fought him alone, and he failed. jouno attacked him alone, and he failed. even when ranpo and fukuzawa went to confront him, they did it one by one (ranpo first with poe's book page, and fukuzawa second with his sword), and fukuchi eliminated them from the fight one by one. the only time anyone even escaped a confrontation was when atsushi and akutagawa finally worked together, fully and entirely trusting each other. it was when they finally attacked him as a combined force. if characters keep fighting against fukuchi one by one, they are going to continue to be defeated one by one.

#releasing this from the drafts too. be free #and the worst part is... it makes so much sense as to WHY each of these characters continuously goes at him solo #tachi jouno ranpo and fukuzawa ALL think they alone are the one who can defeat him #tachi is the only one who can manipulate metal and therefore gain control of fukuchi's sword #jouno can dematerialize and therefore avoid being struck with any blade #including one that can cross space and time #ranpo is literally the smartest person in the world #and fukuzawa is the one who knows fukuchi best #but separately they can't defeat him. had they all worked together #fukuchi never would have stood a chance #but they fought him one by one. and he took them out one by one. #the thing about bsd is it's clear the Big Bads can only be defeated when the characters work together #it's stated multiple times that the agency is at its best when they're all together #the characters are ALL stronger when they WORK TOGETHER #and yet.. when push comes to shove #many of them still believe that they alone are at the top. they alone are capable. and they either defeat the enemy themself #or they will die trying #and to some extent i think that comes from a place of 'let me fight alone so no one else dies' #but if you attack alone. you're all going to die alone #bsd spoilers

// sometimes I think about how many times in bg3 you get conflicts that don't have an objectively "best" outcome. I think about freeing the 7000 vampires, for example. Freeing them is the ethical thing to do, because they are all innocent victims, but it remains true that leaving thousands of vampires loose, even in the underdark, is a bad bad idea. Not only are they traumatized people, but they're predators who have only their instincts to help them survive in an unfamiliar land that isn't exactly bountiful in terms of wildlife. If they don't do well, they'll die or be slaughtered, and if they do they'll ruin entire communities or ecosystems, depending on whether they feed on people or animals.

#i was thinking again of that line minthara says about how the patriars should have the refugees work for them and have them defend the city #and tav is like 'um that's slavery you're describing?' #and she's like 'call it what you want but would you rather have them die of starvation stuck outside the city walls?' #and i mean the player doesn't have much to say in that matter but there is still a complex situation being presented with no easy solution #because bg has been the destination for refugees for a long time already #like it was already in a state of crisis after the descent when many people who could not return to their homes #massively started to arrive to the gate #right when their duke was gone and left the city without a ruler and the military without a leader #now the government is even WORSE and so is the refugee situation since they're now coming from everywhere #it is painfully true that the guild is still the only truly functioning organism in the city #and they're also having trouble with the absolute #like bg objectively doesnt have the space or the means to sustain the refugees #the patriars may #but in the end gold cant feed a family either #but eating the rich does sound like the most sensible option still- #ooc #the only objectively good ending i think is if you could leave the githyanki egg with lae'zel #also i think of the quest zevlor gives for killing kagha #which sounds like a sensible option when he says it but it prompts the grove massacre #but you can explain it to halsin and he understands that they forgot their principles and attacked defenseless refugees #and you merely defended yourself and them #then again if you look in the right places you can see dialogues suggesting that the refugees are indeed damaging the grove #like chopping trees without the druid's consent #so. #yeah i just have a deep appreciation for some aspects of the game's writing #that show there often isn't an objectively best choice #and you are just doing your best with the information you have and what your morals dictate

I know that people talk a lot about breaking generational trauma, but there's not enough discussion around parents who try so hard to break that generational trauma and end up going into depression because they can't be that perfect parent who will always make the right parenting decisions & will never expose their child to trauma at all.

You're traumatized! Sometimes you'll impulsively make bad parenting decisions because it's literally what you've been used to growing up!

However, it does NOT excuse abusive behavior towards your child. You can't just be like "well this is what I went through, so you need to suck it up and deal with it too."

The best way to actually make progress is to apologize to your child, explain where your behavior comes from, and tell them that IS IT NOT THEIR FAULT that you are making those mistakes. Ask them what hurts them the most and what you can do better, then try to stick to that.

But You also need to learn to forgive yourself for your mistakes.

Because if you don't, the guilt will eat at you so much that it negatively affects your mood, which negatively affects your actions, which negatively affects the way you treat your child(ren).

(the same could be said about any relationship, honestly.)

One thing I realized about my own parents is that even though they made mistakes, they didn't put me through the same trauma they went through. At the very least, they recognized that a lot of the things that were done to them were horrible, and kept my brother and I from experiencing even half of what they went through. I'm definitely still traumatized by their behavior, but not nearly as much as they were traumatized. My mom was abused by her father, and my dad lost both of his parents at 14 and had to take care of his younger siblings on his own at that age.

I mention that because that because it's an example of how you can't break all generational curses by yourself. It might still take a couple more generations. But you're still making that progress, and in time, your grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc will have less and less trauma throughout each generation.

It sucks that you can't immediately be that perfect parent that will never make the same mistakes as your parents. But you're doing a better job than you think.

#.bdo #scolding myself again #i always make sure to tell my kid i love him a few times a day #I don't use violence as a punishment #and i can understand how to deal w his auDHD better since I also have them #but I am sure that I've traumatized him with the panic attacks I've had in front of him #his trauma doesn't even come from the way I've treated him #it's him hearing me scream from my room that I want to die #which is very different than what my parents put me thru #but at the very least i can apologize to him which is something my parents never did

watching jjk and man they yap a lot

#why does every character have some type of flashback backstory #this is really setting it up for a bunch of them to die i think #cause it will easily build emotion and make the reader go oh no! #how will they support or fix x thing??? #putting that aside they defintely move through the shonen tropes significantly faster and improvements #the animation is also really fucking good #the impacts are awesome and the attacks are like holy shit #like you can FEEL the power difference #and i love when that happens #see one piece at like sabody #lot more female characters than naruto and have more character to them #I really do enjoy the intelligence they give to sukuna #much more interesting that just primal let lose of the nine tails #.txt #jjk

are the old Nancy Drew games considered "horror"......? if not they should be

#nancy drew #her interactive #those games gave me a heart attack more times than i can count #and i wasnt even playing them most of the time i was watching #probably part of why i found them SO stressful is that it's not just scary but also you are regularly thrown into situations #where if you dont solve a puzzle in time nancy will die a horrible painful death #i will never forget that one puzzle where you have to cut specific wires before you're hit by a goddamn train #first time i remember having a full blown Panic Attack #did anyone else here play those games....... i dont hear them talked about a lot anymore #Treasure in a Royal Tower was my favorite i think

That awkward feeling when a PIMI childhood friend sends you an invite to a party in the summer; but you know you’re going to be out of the cult and shunned by then.

What do I even say? Do I lie and say I’ll be there? Do I just not respond?

#exjw #ex jw #I’m not worried about this friend so much; I’m worried about the other friend #because the other friend has awful mental health and not many close friends other than me and maybe one or two other people #This childhood friend is acting very differently than how she did when we were close which could be completely normal #But she seems “spaced out” and very formal whenever I’ve spoken to her (though that could be the allergy meds doing that) #or maybe she knows through her parents through my parents that I wrote about her playlist of “inappropriate” music in my diary #and maybe she got grilled for it #It’s important to note that neither the playlist nor the YT channel were taken down. I can still find them #So maybe she’s not as “in it” as I think she is. But then again she did introduce me to her Bible study so… idk #Maybe it’s a situation of “I’ll take the husband; mom will take the wife; and you’ll take the daughter” but idk #I never had any Bible studies. I went on studies. I got a study shoved off on me when I was eighteen because no one liked her #for being “too much” and “needy” and “not following Jehovah’s guidance and using nicotine patches so she won’t die of a heart attack” #That was a barrel of fucking laughs #(I got reprimanded by the actual sister studying with her #for reading “what happens to your body when you quit smoking” articles to her and encouraging this woman to follow her DOCTOR’S advice) #But I’ve never started a study; nor has anyone passed off a study to me to keep #ex cult
