[hyper-super-clover]

I had already started posting Twisted Wonderland content, but I wanna formerly introduce my MC Clover for this fandom, too. She is a Yuu-sona/ Ramshackle student, with the exception of having small magical potential.

I made an intro sheet like they have in-game and also continued this Magicam post kinda thingy bc I think it's fun

Also to notice, I'm aware of the in-game ages but PERSONALLY, I enjoy the fandom more scaling up everyone to fit my age. If that's not your cup of tea, pls spare your energy and go vibe somewhere else💕

Enjoy and feel free to ask about her, she's my little bbygirl~

Kalim: Aaaah my gosh we'll have to throw a giant birthday party that'll go two whole days, one day Scarabia, one day Ramshackle, and we'll dance and sing and generally become the best

Clover: ... The best what?

Kalim: oh no i must've reached the character limit, I meant best friends

Kalim: Jamil also told me I shouldn't spam your comment section

Kalim: he's been looking at your post for 10 minutes now, do you think he's angry?

Kalim: OH, he's smiling, so maybe he's just planning an epic birthday party for us?!

Jamil: K A L I M. SHUT IT.

Jade: Oh my, ten minutes seem like quite a time to be looking at this few words, hm?

Jamil: I fail to understand what any of you mean.

Floyd: bro can't even think of an excuse, heheh

Clover: could you not bully people in my comment section this is a wholesome place

Continuation from the previous what if All Men Are Equal gave Chuuya total control over his ability, reverting it to its pre-lab state.

Maybe Chuuya can do something different. Maybe he could give it a try. It's not like he's being held by the Agency, he's free now, it's all up to him.

But I'd say Chuuya has never quite had this many options to make his choice from before.

Sorry if this is weird to ask but what do you use for reference when you draw characters like zhongli? I've been trying to learn how to draw fat/old/non twiggy bodies in order to better represent myself and others and your art is a huge source of inspiration ^^; I just struggle finding things to study when I practice haha

i use the resource that is fat and skin folds by michel lauricella

i dont have a very articulate description but i think its a good book to read through to learn how to draw fat bodies and fat on bodies. there's a various examples of differing bodies and its organized by body parts like torso, lower body, face etc. i think everyone should read it. I dont have a download on me rn because i've kept it saved in folders for over a year now but I believe you can find a free pdf with minimal search

i use it less but adorkastock has a plethora of poses to practice from

i really recommend to just practice all around, I go back to the morpho book quite a lot, and I think learning about fat distribution and how fat naturally sits and folds on the body helps get a better idea of doing it w/o relying on references when doing your own poses.

and this goes for everyone out there, I think regardless on if anyone plans on drawing fat bodies, old bodies or whatever it's just something you should learn if you intend on drawing bodies at all yknow

#inbox #ok lemme change the tags bc my head went somewhere else lol #but when drawing bodies sometimes the best reference is also yourself methinks #i might not be the best person to ask this honestly im not fat im just someone who draws #if youve seen how many small edits ive made no you didnt im embarrassed for rambling again ok

[yuesya]

as an author: how do you loose the fear of straying away from canon??? or is it just a me thing? like every time i make a decision for my oc i have this nagging feeling that it’s not gonna fit in for later arcs and i just *noises* alternatively: how do you tie in the oc with the canon in general 😩

Unfortunately (fortunately?), I don't think I have any other advice for you than 'just go for it' haha. I mean. Tweaking canon events is half the fun in writing fanfiction!

I'd compare this to wading into a sandbox. Just by stepping in, you're already going to be affecting whatever was previously built there, so I wouldn't stress too much about changing things. Of course, some changes are going to be purposeful, while others are going to be accidental. It usually helps if you have a general idea of what you want to change beforehand, and how you'll be working towards it.

But in the end, having fun while you're romping around the sandbox is what's most important! :D

#QA #writing tips #sorta? #i don't know if this helps at all haha #sorry anon #it might not be what you want to hear #but honestly as long as you're having fun while you're writing #that's all that really matters in the end #:3 #if you ever feel like you've derailed wayyy too much from canon and don't know where to take things next #just ask yourself #'what would XXX character do if they were in this situation?' #and the story continues on from there #or alternatively #the question might be #'well why would XXX character never find themselves in this sort of situation?' #in which case now you also have a new direction for things!

[binah-beloved]

So I know you HC that Binah won't let you anywhere near the Well (yes I've read the whole blog basically in one sitting because... I need more Binah in my system.) But consider this

She avoids you assisting her with extractions as much as she can. Maybe she sends you off with "urgent" reports to other sefirot (the higher the floor, the better), whenever she has to draw from the Well. But she can't keep this up forever. You DO want to be at her side when she has to go through THIS nightmarish task. Anyhow you do end up assisting her. How does that make her feel? Maybe your presence anchors her to reality and keeps her sane more than she'd care to admit? Maybe she instinctively covers your eyes at some point without even realizing it?

we all need more Binah in our systems

when the day finally comes that you're by her side, the only thing Binah feels is fear. it's not something she usually experiences, as even degraded Arbiters are stronger than anyone needs to be, but she knows the sharp pain in her chest is fear, cold and unyielding. you're so fragile- even the best weapons and gear she gives you won't be able to defend you from the Well- but you're also so stubborn, insisting that you accompany her

"No one should have to do this alone". that's what you told her, and what you stand by. so reluctantly she brings you to the Well, watching its waters illuminate your features in an emerald glow and telling you to stay close

the task hurts as always, eating away at her thoughts and tearing bits of her identity away. but this time, you're there, standing beside her and holding her hand; every time you squeeze her fingers, the pain relents just slightly, and Binah feels like she can breathe again. when you take a step closer to her for comfort she carefully pulls you into her arms, tucking her cloak around your shoulders- you can stay in there for the entire time, if you'd like. she doesn't mind. you make sure to give her a soft hug when you feel her stiffen, the only indication that she's in distress, and after a moment her muscles unclench and her hand comes down to caress your own, wrapped around her waist

finally everything ends once more, a sigh of relief slipping from your lips as you leave the room. your head feels blurred and heavy until a hand rests on top of it, a glint of emotion in Binah's eyes as she quietly thanks you for what you've done today, and before she leaves she gives your hand a small, tender squeeze

you don't notice the single tear that drips from her eye when she turns away

#project moon #lobotomy corp #library of ruina #binah #binah lobcorp #binah library of ruina #hello professional binah lover #i am also a professional binah lover #you might need to take a sick day after being in the Well's presence for so long #and lo and behold binah arrives to take care of you #she keeps up a stream of simple questions throughout the day to get your mind working and occupied with other things #and gently shushes you if you have any nightmares #if she's still particularly emotional from the previous day she might stare at you and start silently crying #if you ask she just holds your hand and tells you to take care of yourself #that's her way of saying that she can't bear to see you suffering or in pain

Questionable Images 1/2 - The Question #8 (1987)

#book club #the question #vic sage #dc comics #comics #questionable images #another one of my favorite issues #here you can see vic talk about second chances and get fucked up on drugs #also it contains at least two jokes about vic having no face. higher than there have been so far! #but seriously this issue is really fantastix #it shows you what someone who fights fire like fire is doing in the town of hub city #as well as discussing how 'innocence' can be subjective... #dr spaulding is one of my favorite one off antagonists. hes not cartoonishly evil or anything like a lot of the others. #you can see his motivations and you can see how his morals somehow justify this (while being hypocritical) #and yet you are able to look at it and decide how you feel about his actions & decide what it means when someone is 'innocent' #it forces you to ask yourself how much a person can do before they're irreparably guilty. and whether theres a balance to it. #100 good deeds might outweigh 100 bad deeds. or they don't. and every moment decides whether you're 'innocent' or not on its own. #and at the end you have to ask yourself whether spaulding deserved that. DID the punishment fit the crime? why him and not vic? #it brings up moral issues you maybe didn't think about before. #very very good issue... one i often think about. #WHY WONT TUMBLR LET ME MOVE THESE PICTURES AROUND IM GOING TO EXPLODE #no one is guilty except whoever at tumblr made this impossible

[scholarofgolb]

one thing low self esteem will do to you is that it will convince you that no one could possibly value their relationship with you or even on a lighter level like. thinking people don't care about anything you say and that your words don't have impact on people. and what that leads to is you being completely unaware when you hurt other peoples feelings and being unable to consider how something you view as innocuous or funny could be hurtful and mean to someone else. like even if you have a hard time understanding that you have value as a person you have to understand that you have a lot of control of the way you effect other people and no one is intrinsically aware of what is going on in your head. you've got to care about other people and think about what's going on for them and yes empathy is hard but empathy can be learned. and sometimes u gotta figure it out and teach it to yourself.

#big thing for me in my late teens was realizing all of this #it was like probably the most valuable thing i took out of adolescence #which i thought because i had social anxiety and was so concerned about other people hating me that i couldn't possibly be low empathy #but i was! and i had to deal with it! #stop asking other people 'are you mad at me' and start asking yourself 'how might they have interpreted that? could that have been hurtful? #and youll realize that it might have been! and thats the most horrible gut wrenching feeling ever #but there's this wonderful thing called apologizing and explaining yourself and reminding people that you love + value them #and if ur me that means sometimes youll apologize for something and ur friend will be like 'i dont even know what ur talking about LOL' #but it also means sometimes your friend will feel welcome to have productive conversations about how you make eachother feel #and thats really what helps form lasting relationships tbh

Hi jie jie! What were your favorite cdramas for 2023?

MDL tells me that it's:

meet yourself - modern cdrama - high ranking hotelier quits her job to find herself after a tragedy in her life. stars liu yifei & li xian. (also killer ost tbh, i still listen to 去有风的地方 A LOT)

some people found the show slow, but imo the vibes for this show were so good and so chill! the progression of the romantic arc in the show was v natural, and i liked how the romance was not the central theme of the show and that each of the supporting characters were v well fleshed out! i rewatched the confession scene a lot through the year when i needed serotonin.

and

love me love my voice - modern cdrama - mutual pining to lovers, but the pair are also both huge fans of each other's online works (music and voice dubbing respectively). stars tan jianci & zhou ye.

most of y'all were here while i was watching this as it aired so you probably all know how i feel about this show. i'll summarise it for y'all anyway: 😍💕😭💖🤩👏🏼🥰💋

if you are after a feel good modern cdrama, i honestly cannot recommend these two shows enough. huge serotonin boosters and guaranteed emotional payoff.

honourable mentions, which should also surprise nobody:

till the end of the moon (this was my highest ranked period cdrama - retrospectively, this is more because of how insane it made me feel while watching it, and less of a testament to how good the show was, BUT!! i really did enjoy this a lot)

destined

mysterious lotus casebook

romance on the farm

(where i've done rec posts, i've linked to my rec post, otherwise i've linked to the show's mdl page, but if y'all want to hear me yell about the shows separately, just lmk)

#i think 2023 was the year i wanted dramas with no Drama #and meet yourself and love me love my voice delivered so well on it #like in both instances there were no unnecessary Dramas surrounding the leads like once they were Committed that was it #and it's a really nice break from all the 恶毒女配 shows (which okay fair i also dig in certain cases) #does anyone remember what else was airing around the time destined did??? because i feel like i should've been more !!! about it #oh!!! i finished the love you give me over the weekend and that was p funny though i think it could've been a 20-24 ep show instead #some of the plots dragged a little towards the end but it was cute!! #i really really really REALLY wanted to start 狂飙 over the christmas closedown but never got into that mood :/ I STILL MIGHT!!! #asks #Anonymous #tv rec

[funnierasafictive]

some advice i see a lot regarding how to tell if someone is a fictive or just a character that the person is imagining is to try to imagine them doing something they wouldn't and see if it feels wrong or if they flat out refuse but i was wondering is there any way to tell if you've just imagined them refusing? like, if it's more in character for them to do so is that not simply where your mind would go? how can you tell whether there's a person behind it or whether it's just that your mind itself doesn't want to cooperate??

Honestly, I'm not sure how to answer that. BUT, it does remind me of when our old host met Jaiden (not a fictive) and they read that a way to check if someone is really sentient, you do this specific exercise about balancing a feather on their noise or something. Honestly none of us remember the point of it or how it would have worked, but what happened was, Jaiden was already Real. He split real, Jamie just wasn't sure (thank you denial). Because Jaiden cared about Jamie, he indulged him and did the exercises. But it would go on for DAYS to the point where Jaiden literally told Jamie to just "stop". "I'm real!" and even if Jamie told him to do these exercises, it was annoying him.

So yes, having them do something they'd like is an option. But have you considered annoying them to the point where they snap at you?? SKDFJS

OF COURSE DONT like. put yourselves on bad terms. but its something to think about. A lot of the time when we're in denial, the person we/the current front is in denial about, starts getting annoyed, and then we feel bad about hurting their feelings.

So I'm not your therapist and I can't tell you what's what- but I guess you could also think.. "If I annoyed them, and they react badly to me annoying them, and that feeling of them scolding me makes me feel bad.. why would I ever make that up?"

Also give it some time. Sometimes if a split is new (or you think someone just split) it'll be hard to tell. Denial is a BITCH. If you already are used to having alters or system members in general, The fictive who just split WILL eventually be comfortable enough to be "concrete enough" with you, if they already even know who they are. maybe your brain itself is still figuring things out. We talk about splitting as a community a lot--where spliting is usually depicted as like this FAST thing. but sometimes its slow! which DOESNT help if youre trying to figure out if you have someone or not!

#ask #Anonymous #and then of course tehres like. so many different factors like sure maybe its ocd or something #but anyway yeah #i do not recommend HARASSING people but im NOT a good role model so. nudging them a little might do something #bc like with ANY ALTER (not just fictives) a lot of the advice tends to be 'get a reaction out of them' lol #Talk to them? #im going to stop talking now because i feel like if i do my advice will actually get like really bad and you should NOT just listen to me g #'annoy them!!!' BAHAHA #-SUSIE / blurry susie i gyuess #ANYWAY HOPE IT GOES WELL! #be patient with YOURSELF and be patient with this possible fictive #its valid to live life being like 'idk' and then find out the actual answer a week or two later or more #i mean yk some systems only find out they had a fictive of someone YEARS later /gen yk #not funnier as a fictive #sorry its long lol..... #i also dont usually use commas but i used them here so im a little more comprehensible

[artemislosthunter]

also no more outing myself directly to my friends, you will find out about pronoun and name change through the wonders of instagram stories where you talk abt yourself /hj

#I mean ... I love my friends I really do. but they're cis and ... idk sometimes you can tell #like not transphobic (obviously otherwise they wouldnt be my friends) but just ... cis #never had any doubts about their gender identity. they feel perfectly fine in this little label and never had any doubts #and that is great for them!! Genuinely!! but I also know that none of my gender feelings will make sense to them #I have tried trust me. they are supportive but also ... just confused and lost #bringing the questioning up to them feels like they expect you to have an answer or to help you discover the answer with simple quetsions #that you yourself had asked yourself a thousand times with no clear answer and they somehow expect it to work this time #I know they mean well!! I love that they're trying but also ... it usually just ends up making me feel frustrated and them slightly frustra #frustrated bcs it feels like I am being uncooperative when all they are trying to do is help #so yeah idk how to bring it up #bcs Idk what I am #I just know I don't like being refered to as a girl #I am either indifferent by it as in 'not really but also not really NOT so I guess that works fine' or 'I mentally recoiled' #which is ... not really clear #I might be vaguely ''girl shaped'' on some days #and on some days I am not #but that does not really explain what I am does it #am I male? idk I feel like maybe sometimes I am vaguely ''male shaped'' more so than girl shaped atm I think #but in the end it's always something else entirely I think. it might briefly resemble it but never for long and never entirely #yes I have been debating if 15 y/o me had it all down when they said 'biromantic-asexual genderfluid' #bcs ... yeah I've come to notice ace was actually pretty correct I am definitely somewhere on that spectrum #I am ... very unhorny and genuinely came to realize I do not find people 'hot'. I find them aesthetically nice to look at and that's it #bi ... yeah I had a few phases of doubts but by now I really can't deny that anymore #so 15 y/o me MIGHT HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN RIGHT ABT IT ALL #but I am not sure yet #and until I'm sure I'll ... just not say anything bcs I know it'll just end with confusion and awkwardness

[mikesbasementbeets]

“if mike is gay and never actually loved el romantically it would diminish their whole relationship :(” ok but like what do you think they’ve been doing this whole time then? do you think the current dynamic of their relationship is good? the relationship we’ve been shown this whole time is supposed to have some sort of positive romantic meaning?? like what do you think would be diminished if mike is gay? he is already unable to genuinely (ie not under dire external pressure) tell el he loves her. he is unable to be genuinely romantic with her (see Every Single Time they kiss (or almost kiss) and mike looks like he wants to crawl out of his own skin). he can’t even put his arm around her waist to support her!!! like. what would be lost if we were to learn that the feelings between them are actually platonic????

#this is about my last rb like. YEAH. they’ve BEEN devaluing their romantic relationship ALREADY. the Whole Time you might even say #it’s like…. their entire thing #also the idea that mike’s being gay would diminish the value of elmike’s relationship as a whole is 1. a miIeven take and 2. homophobic #said it before but. if you think a gay person ending a het relationship and coming out as gay devalues the meaning/importance of that #relationship? that’s homophobic. ask yourself why you think that. examine your thought process. reconsider. #imo mike being gay would EXPLAIN the intricacies of their dynamic in a way that would DEEPEN the meaning of it #but hey some people [cough] will continue to claim gay mike theory is biphobic while providing no evidence for that claim #and at the same time refuse to even acknowledge their own homophobic bias (which has been plainly laid out for them over and over) #hot tip if you don’t want people to think you’re a miIeven shipper then re-examine the opinions you cling to that fully align #with a homophobic miIeven's. quite simple. #beets posts

[theygender]

I love being T4T. My gf has been on estrogen for a couple weeks now and she's been having a rough time with her mood so I'm teaching her about the ancient art of soaking in a bubble bath with a little drink to sip while watching shows on your laptop

#pro-tip for any girls newly on E. this is The Cure for PMS #(which accurately describes what youre going through btw) #other great cures include putting on nice smelling lotion and fuzzy socks and wrapping yourself in a blanket burrito/nest #also eating lots of chocolate or other sweets and drinking your favorite caffeinated beverages #my mom used to always put on lotion and fuzzy socks and drink dr pepper and eat chocolate #my cousin likes to watch netflix in the bath with wine and then get in a blanket burrito with her favorite lemonade tea #if youve got someone to take care of you then you dont even have to come out of the burrito. you can just ask them to bring you things #all of these methods help a lot. we're experts on this you can trust me (family of people with endometriosis) #also if youre having headaches and bloating and stomach pain you might try midol (generic works fine) #it has acetaminophen for pain + caffeine for headaches (like excedrin) + antihistamine for bloating #also to clarify: i said girls newly on E only bc i figured girls who have been on it for a while might have already figured this stuff out #but PMS is by no means exclusive to transfems who have newly started on E #many transfems have reported getting PMS symptoms and even cramps on a monthly basis after being on estrogen for a while #this is bc after a while on E your body can start naturally making more estrogen and this can come with its own hormone cycle #and as a result you can essentially get all of the symptoms of a period just without the actual bleeding #(this can include cramps bc even in cis women the signals for the muscle spasms can sometimes get misdirected to nearby organs— #unfortunately causing stomach issues as well) #so if anyone out there happens to not already know this information and youve been feeling like shit periodically for seemingly no reason #now you know 😅 #its your period #rambling
