i've never played kingdom hearts

Sexuality is really confusing, the last few months I've been thinking that maybe, just maybe I'm actually straight and then something happened and I realized that I'm not. But I don't consider myself to be bisexual, pansexual, or even omnisexual; none of those labels really fit me—that being said, I'm definitely not a lesbian.

I mean I identified as pansexual and even omnisexual for the longest time, and bisexual for a little while before I learnt more about sexuality, but it never felt right; maybe I just don't like having a label.

#— rambles #I guess this is a rant? #Not a vent though. #Just been circling around and rethinking my sexuality over the past few months I was practically offline for. #It's weird since I have liked girls; a lot of them but weirdly enough for a long while after I left for an haitus (1/2) #I thought I might've been straight. (2/2)

I have a fun (fanfic) idea that builds around the idea that oh, Sasha is bad a levitation, but Milla is bad a marksmanship. Not just, that they’re bad, but that they’re so bad at it that they can technically levitate/psi blast, but they just do it so wrong it has no effect.

For example, Milla can concentrate a blast of energy from her mind, and she’s pretty good at targeting, but she doesn’t do any damage. It’ll just gently push the target, but only push it enough to where you need special tools to measure the change.

Meanwhile Sasha can create the lev ball and float, and it can exist for a long time without bursting, but it doesn’t suspend or lift anything. If you stand on the lev ball it can support your weight, but it’s stationary. It cannot move. So my idea is that they got assigned to be partners because they have mastery over their own skills and hopefully will teach the other how to actually have function in their powers. The reason they don’t work right is because they’re not in the right mental space and trying to use the opposite technique to achieve similar results.

That and trauma. Milla doesn’t like concentrating/focusing on her own feelings because a lot of her negative emotions is related to the fire, which she wrongfully blames herself for. She’d much rather let her emotions flow from place to place, intensity to intensity than have to face and concentrate on her guilt. Meanwhile Sasha doesn’t want to let his mind wander, because he knows what it’s going to drift to. He’s pretty good at regulating his emotions but not so much reflecting on why he is having an emotion, so it’s just a cycle. But ultimately, they’re both stuck in their ways because they’re secretly terrified of getting hurt again.

So naturally they’d both have to develop as instructors and their own personal relationship to make any progress on anything. They start out with an insultingly basic view of each other, but eventually grow realize how deep and interesting they both are as people. They both even start to realize how actually similar they are and realize their own faults by observing the other person. And the further their relationship goes the better understanding they have of one another and the ability to be vulnerable gets easier. They both admit that they’re afraid of hurting someone and (literally and metaphorically) falling, but they assure the other person that they’ll cover them and make sure they’ll be alright. At some point they both realize that this is the closest relationship either of them really have to another person, to trust someone enough to admit your dirtiest, painful secrets and not have the other person react in a way that only makes you feel worse.

This continues until the lessons get adapted into a way that they can improve and their skills actually become effective. Not good, just functional, below average if will. Milla’s blasts can actually do damage now, but she’s still not great at it. If the average agent can do three(3) damage per blast, and Sasha can do five(5) per blast as an expert, Milla can shoot for about one(1)-two(2) damage per shot. And Sasha can float and move quicker on a lev ball, but the average agent can do basic movements like moving diagonally, Milla can do elaborate flips and poses and stunts, but Sasha can only move in a straight line, and slow descent(in a straight line).

But after they teach each other how to use their skills, they’ve really honed how to work together as a team and thankfully get assigned to work together on missions all the time. So they can truly keep that promise of looking out so they don’t hurt anyone or fall.

#psychonauts #psychonauts 2 #sasha nein #milla vodello #fanfic idea #slash headcancon I guess? #I’ve had this idea floating in my head for a couple of months but I have like three other projects to work on #sorry if this description/explaination/overview is too basic #but I already have like rough scenes written out #like Sasha leaving Milla to practice for ten minutes alone and she accidentally starts a forest fire panicking from auditory hallucinations #so the psychonauts do psychic training within minds now….to prevent further forest fires #and there’s like arcs planned #milla has an identity crisis after losing the one trait she built herself on: being a mother #Sasha has an arc about being more social and allowing himself to be close with someone other than his mentor #and y’know emotional repression #if they are going to fall in love I specifically want Sasha to fall in love after Milla’s identity crisis is solved and she starts thriving #I don’t really know what else to say #good night I guess? #good night!

I am typically a very quiet person (in volume), so I forget that I can actually be Very Loud until I have to run a practice by myself.

#i was the Primary counter tonight and oh boy i am out of practice and breath my lungs hurt #i will tell you that those teenagers fucking listened though #i always forget that they are actually very scared of disappointing me too because i feel like such a background coach most of the time #and honestly it's the best they've done listening to me without the head coach there ever #one of them came up to me after today and was like 'oh my god i forgot how much i missed you running practices' #and i was like 'really? i felt like i was so mean to you guys today' and her answer was 'yeah but we deserved it' #they're good kids our first competition is on saturday and they are not going to look great but i hope they look decent #and then we have 2 months until the next one so we have more time to get our shit together #my coaching adventures #personal

Altar is finishing in about 3 pages and I am emotional about how many people embraced my little gay comic and my little gay hunter, thank you all!!!

#sin speaking #( “finishing” i.e adellas pov is finishing but rest assured good hunter ruza's pov will become its own comic afterward lmaooo) #(bc i am what? INSANE! INSATIABLE! A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT) #(page 11 is ready 2 go after being proof read and then i realised adellas pov was about to end in the script and had. a thonk) #(i just think their sides of the story both deserve to be their own independent titles....so i will make it so) #(god its nutty to look back at page one and laugh bc man. amazing what a few months of practice can do innit) #(WELL with aloysha's mini comic done and altar nearly done now is the time to decide...) #(which style should i pursue for future comics LOL THE INK STYLE OR THE COLOURED STYLE) #(tbh i feel like the polished up look of altar does not look as good as the rougher inky style of dark thunder surprisingly) #(U tell me ur thonks tho) #(and also everyone in the tags sayinf they share adellas fascination with ruza thank u for validating me LMAO) #(IT WAS GENUINELY SO UPLIFTING TO SEE PEOPLE LOVE RUZA SO MUCH AND I CRIED MANY TIMES)

WELL i drew my first charoum, but he has no shading because. i don't want to. that's something for the me who's practiced in the future to tackle. the me who didn't have to google "how do you erase in procreate". the me who didn't spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to move layers around. etc.

okay things that i learned during this exercise: 1. i hate the brush that i used. pick a better brush. this matters. 2. better to have 8000 layers than to fuck yourself by wanting to change your character's skin color, only to realize you also drew his hair outline on that layer. 3. you can't just draw a bunch of lines for hair. you actually need to lineart that. i didn't do that here. which is why it. uh. looks like that. hehe <3

okay that's it <3 he's watching gorty (currently on hour 34 of no sleep) almost blow his hand up because he fucked up one of the arcane components of a steel watch prototype. yes charoum knows healing word. no he has never once used it on anyone.

#doing this made me much more motivated to actually practice! which is good because i'll be honest #i wasn't positive the drawing thing would be an easy new years resolution to keep #but it turns out sucking at something that you KNOW you can improve at is actually kinda fun #the potential rise in skill is cool to imagine and easy to chase :) #<- i'm sure i'll eat these words in like 2 months after the Super Beginner's Learning Curve fades #and it becomes a matter of Seeing what i'm doing wrong but not knowing how to fix it #because right now i can See what i'm doing wrong and also know if i wanted to i could google practices to fix it #so. alfkdjsalk <3 #charoum #vince art

[cinna-bunnie]

nooo im all caught up on my manhwa and now i have to actually do something else

hell world

#*scoffs* as if i don't have a bunch of other comics and some video games lined up #BUT!!!! 😩 u know when u get sucked into something for weeks or a month then u finish and face The Void #yeah lol. it's still going too ૮ – ﻌ–ა I'll try 2 keep up #i been rereading Tower of God for a while tho 😹 it's sooo good. #it's rly funny it just has the one season animated because this is one of those cases where you TRULY have not seen anything yet #i assumed there was just enough material for like one or two more seasons but oh no. lmaooo #it's like ~12% of the story and there's hella seamless time skips bc doing things actually takes a realistic amount of time lol #so there's still A Lot to explore. i already liked it but i found it a lot more enjoyable the second time around 0: #“takes a realistic amount of time” ← it is seamless bc u do not have to necessarily see or follow them thru this time #u can just b at the result sometimes. the pacing is always p good tho. it never rly feels like it drags on longer than it needs to #except maybe the last like 50-100 chapters bc the artist needed to take it easier‚ which makes for some good long visuals #but they do kinda feel like padding for the story that drag a bit before getting to the point #but this is after being absolutely spoiled for like 560 chapters which are long as fuck themselves. the scrollbar is like 1-1.5mm 😩 #on top of it moving fast and staying interesting like berserk does. kinda stumbling frm one thing to the next but #yeag :3 yayy it was very nice and i will be referring back to it a lot as a means to keep up w the story and to practice my drawing

[gideonisms]

Guys I know I ask this every semester but what if I just drop out 90% of the way towards my degree and six (6) years in

#i just got the bill for my summer class and oh boy. #hhhhh does it ever just hit that you can save for 2 years and it could all be gone in 6 months if ur not careful abt everything all the time #it would be one thing if i knew i had a job waiting for me but my major is practically useless #it's just the one that i like enough not 2 drop out. if i had picked like business or what have u i would have set my entire life on fire #in times like these i like to remind myself that i cannot be the family gay dropout. whew okay yeah that helped #i can become an electrician or whatever after this that still sounds miserable but better than being customer service #i just need the degree so that my family will see i'm successful. okay the end

[devotedlystrangewizard]

sigh. back to beating 3-2 with parries only to remember how to ultrakill

#ramblings #back when i had just finished p-2 i went back to 3-2 and spent an hour just learning gabe's patterns #fighting back only with coins and parries #after which i p ranked all of the prelude and 3-2 #which. yeah p ranking prelude isnt THAT impressive #but it was a start #and then i barely touched ultrakill for like 6 months #and now im struggling so bad #and i KNOW i have to practice and actually play the game. to get good enough to beat layer 7 #im still nervous about 1-3 because of the hard path. but its ok #i could probably p rank layer 1 if it wasnt for 1-3 #i almost p ranked 1-1 on my first try but i died ONCE

[aria0fgold]

Was fully convince today was the 23rd but as it turns out I am at least a day or two safe from the 23rd.

#aria rants #look. somehow. the 5 days before christmas turned into feelin like an execution countdown (im exaggerating but still) #i entered 2 secret santas in mhyk. one for regular mahoyaku. and one for mahoyaku ocs (i created one in a whim for this) #cuz i wanna do something for mahoyaku! and i wanna be active! and the signups where done by the end of last month #so i basically had 2 weeks to prep for it. nothing too bad bout that. 2 weeks was more than enough #it was. cuz i was also. expecting. to have my phone back. by now. practically weeks ago by now. #my expectations vs reality. expectation: has a phone. reality: i. dont. have. it. still. (speakin through gritted teeth) #so i was like. okay. im gonna have to bite a bullet dont i? and borrow my parents' phone for this #cuz i need to do art for mhyk. cuz i... i am... i... i only know cain and owen's characters like the back of my hand #i dont have much of a grasp for the other characters to confidently write fanfic with em #so im like. okay. im gonna start drawing by the 20th and SPEEDRUN it #that was a mistake. i speedran a simple fullbody piece where i designed the outfit and it felt like i drained my lifespan on it #ngl i enjoyed it still. cuz i miss drawing and being able to draw is nice but also speedrunnin smth after not drawing for months #is actually so much more painful than i thought. i just finished with colouring and semi-rendering it today and im still not done #and thats only for the mhyk oc secret santa. i still need to create ONE MOOOOORRRRREEEEE

[froqgy]

i hope vergil falls down a deep dark hole forever

#no matter how many times ive fought him and won his boss fight still proves difficult. its amazing really #if you handed me a controller after months of no hk i could fair pretty well against most bosses barring like 2 #but give me a minute w vergil....-_- #ok maybe thats not an entirely fair comparison. ive probably practiced hk boss fights way more. but still #he did his stupid coat flap when i died ive killed you in 2 minutes before ill do it again

[colormewithsky]

just tired. ready for everyone to stop with everything please

#personal #vent #another school shooting in my area and someone online pointed out that some of the kids there have survived 2 shootings at least #in the last 14 months bc there was a hs shooting 14 months ago and now one at a university where surely some kids graduated from #that HS only to have this happen so soon after. literally nothing short of gun restriction will restore any sort of humanity to politicians #gun violence #like i have friends #practically family who go to that school. one girl got driven home by her dad at 2 am like how fucking terrifying

[bookwyrminspiration]

Existing is cool. We all exist in some capacity.

I hope you do well in the seal of biliteracy test! I personally have another few years before I need to take it, and that will be in French most likely.

Hopefully if I do write a fanfic you will just end up finding it in the wild. Not likely but it could happen

Anyway, I hope that you start to feel more human later.

From⚙️

Existing is pretty cool! And thank you. I have no clue what my scoring is gonna be on that one, because I know my speaking section was...subpar at best, but maybe the other 3 sections were good enough to offset that? Who knows!

At least you know that it's a possibility! I didn't even know the seal or the test was a thing until like a month ago when I got an email like "hey quil sign up to take this test you took enough foreign language credits for it" like...you mean the courses I took...over a year ago??

just because I have an associated in spanish doesn't mean I know what I'm doing

And even if its unlikely for me to find your fic in the wild, I can still hope! I mean, i'll never know whether or not it was yours, but still! But yeah unlikely. I don't read a lot of fanfic, actually. Like 95% of the time I read a fic it's to support a mutual who wrote it, not because I particularly felt like reading fics. Ironic considering I'm a fic writer, but true.

Thank you for the well wishes though! I'm not particularly concerned with feeling human, but I understand and appreciate the sentiment, and I wish the same for you!

#quil's queries #⚙️ nonsie #i took 2 french classes once upon a time #because for my spanish degree I was required to take a second foreign language too #but my asl didn't count #so there was one semester I was taking spanish and french and asl (3 foreign languages) all at the same time #I. would not recommend doing that #i now know practically zero french and my spanish and french got mixed up for months after that #the asl was fine though. i think a sign language and a spoken language can be learned together a lot easier #so that part wasn't bad #it was the spanish and french at the same time that fucked me up #but I'd like to learn french one day #that way I know the two. what are they called. not universal #but basically certain things in foreign languages are required to have a translation to either french or english #so I'd like to know both #oh this is gonna bug me hang on gonna ask my dad #oh apparently I was right! french and english are considered the universal languages #and on the ship (he was in the coast guard) it needed to be in either english or french and the local language #so. there's that

bro why can’t I keep a pcp or hairdresser to save my fucking LIFE!!!!

#my first PCP in this city retired after I’d been seeing her for like ~1.5 years #(I was not told she retired btw. my pharmacy had to tell me lmao) #the one I found after just left the practice 2 months ago. I rly liked her and I’m very sad #my first hairdresser in this city stopped doing hair altogether after I’d been seeing her for like 9 months #I finally got enough money to go to a real hair salon again last year & have been seeing the same girl for eight (8!!!) months #and I think she left the salon!!! and I can’t find where she works now!!! bc all her socials don’t have her last name!!!! #why this 😭😭 why now!!! #p

[roaringroa]

today i met up with my high school friend group for the first time in 3 years (i had seen all but one individually or in smaller groups ocasionally at parties or something in the last year but never all of them together and never somewhere just us where we could really talk) and we spent  hours talking and laughing and remembering but also catching each other up in our current life events and just having an overall great time and like man life really is worth living

#we aren't the type of people to hang out or even text frequently so we go long periods of time not interacting #but i have such a fondness for them like i really love them #and today was super fun too cause apparently i hadn't even told 2 of them about my high school crush and my dramatic ass story regarding it #i was barely out to them during high school so i was too shy to talk about crushes with them so i only told most of them about #like a year after and 2 only today lmao #anyway the story involves events spanning a year and a half including me almost confessing to my crush through multiple ways #and ending up doing it via an anonymous valentine card that made it obvious it was me lol #at the time i was really heartbroken and not only cause my crush rejected me but because like 3 months later in a party #she asked me if i still liked her and when i said no (like a liar) she asked me if i would kiss her so i did and we kissed for a while #and on the next day a mutual friend of ours who didn't know that i liked her nor that we had kissed asked me if i knew about her kissing #someone that party cause it had been a log time since she had last kissed someone and she wanted to do it again before her #date with her own crush as practice #like ouch that really hurt me :/ she knew i liked her and she used me #but anyway 2 of my friends didn't even know i spent like a year and a half completely infatuated with her and the shock on their faces was #priceless lmao especially considering i was really obvious about liking her back then despite not saying anything dasdpns #i love them so much #my post
