#and i know this element exists bc

[inkskinned]

not to romanticize my mental issues but sometimes having adhd is very useful because today during a meeting that could have been an email i kept thinking about crabs wearing small tophats and having little dancing parties and how they'd sound in tap shoes.

and when my boss was like "raquel what do you think?"

i was like "well, i think the others have made good points about this, of course, and i'd be happy to circle around later on it, but i'd love to take a moment and resonate with this before offering my own suggestion. i want to hear what others think before anticipating the client's needs."

and then i went back to not listening but this time it was imagining snails that joust.

#me: hehe funny #the hatemail: you should be fired immediately the fact you are scum enough to NOT LISTEN #in a SINGLE MEETING #that was about a project you DONT WORK ON #means that you are EVIL and SUCKING UP TIME #like bro .... idk how to tell u this sometimes people be in meetings they don't need to be in #i only got asked to participate bc there's an element of the project that resembles #a piece i wrote a while back #and i know this element exists bc #we've already had a meeting where i told them what i did how i did it and what i suggest #so there's nothing else for me to add really #also im close with all the coworkers who are working on that element #and they just gchat me their questions #idk how to tell u this but someone zoning out in a single 30 minute meeting where they LITERALLY #don't work on that project ? #that's just fucking anti-capitalism baby #i was being a revolutionary

im also kinda shocked at how many fans seem to think that mapleshade not going to the bridge was a deliberate stubborn and cruel choice when its most likely just…. a worldbuilding continuity error

#this was a team that hadnt worked with the old territories as much too #i think they read ‘’she tried to cross the river’’ and forgot there was a bridge at all #and like lbr- did YOU know the bridge was there before moonkitti ever pointed it out? bc i didnt #thats also how blue/oak did the kit transfer when the lake was frozen i belief. at least thats how its portrayed #in fan media #silvergray met there constantly. more ppl associate that with the border than a bridge #which like….. i dont know if it ever even shows up. if it does its very inconsequential #again theres the ‘’if i was orpheus i wouldnt turn around’’ element here too but lbr they forgot that bridge existed #these are the same people who cant keep the cast list straight

IFs (especially IFs on tumblr!) are very fun because there's a lot of creator-fan interaction possible because of tumblr's ask function. you get to ask questions about your favorites, suggest ideas and sometimes those ideas are even taken on board. fans get much more content because the writers and creators are so accessible. and i feel like asking questions and leaving comments in this way has become so common and standard with IFs that people are forgetting that's a real person writing these stories. just because you can send the ask doesn't mean you should. DON'T BE RUDE ON ANONYMOUS!!!!! DON'T BE WEIRD ON ANONYMOUS!!!!! my jaw drops reading some of these asks so i can't imagine how it's like for the authors

#sorry this post exists out there somewhere but i want to write my own. because. you are all fucking INSANE #not my beautiful wonderful mutuals #BUT SOME OF YOU. ASK YOURSELF IF THIS IS A NORMAL THING TO SAY #two personal posts from me tonight. who would have htought. #txt #personal #same applies to romance in IFs btw #sometimes the game is NOT . NECESSARILY. ABOUT ROMANCE. #i know this is a common element in the games and its what makes these games so popular #BUT THE GAME IS NOT A ROMANCE. ITS A SLICE OF LIFE ABOUT FRIENDSHIP. OR ITS A STORY ABOUT LOSING UR HUMANITY #its MANY THINGS . and there are games that are SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ROMANCE BUT NOT ALL OF THEM ARE!!! #its ok to prioritise the romance content bc thatswhat is important to you. THE AUTHOR DOES NOT NEED TO DO THIS. BECAUSE #THEY ARE NOT WRITING FOR YOU. THE ASKS HAVE TRICKED YOU INTO THINKING THIS. BUT THEYRE NOT. #usually and above all theyre writing a story that means something to them . if you want to wrest creative control or demand more content- #then open a word doc. oh my fucking GOD. #like remember if f/innpoe cant be canon then flinnjoe will be. BE LIKE THAT. #i have adjustments and hcs in my mind for various IFs i would NEVER dream of trying to make canon #and im so content. here. in this beautiful palace of my creation...!!!!!!!

German leftists are so incapable of separating Judaism and Israel that their heads practically explode when Israel does something bad, and then they end up stickering over a sticker than just says ‘free Palestine’ with a fucked up sticker saying ‘antifa means supporting Israel’ and think they’re somehow still leftist.

Like imagine your supposed principles being so malleable and your critical thinking so lacking that when a notably really right wing government commits genocide you have to pretend that’s compatible with antifascism because you can’t conceive of Israel as separate to Judaism.

#like normally it is really very obvious that conflating Judaism and Israel is in fact antisemitic #but this situation proves that they never actually believed that #which is y’know. a notable element of German antisemitism. #(that Germans pretend doesn’t exist.) #(by which I mean they pretend German antisemitism doesn’t exist) #they pretend it’s a) only the afd b) those damn Muslims importing it #that’s it. #they can’t even confront their own antisemitism and thus certainly can’t even begin to address it #just send more weapons to Israel and don’t think about things #Barf barf barf barf barf #idk it’s almost like bc there’s a very obvious opponent in the AFD #German antifa just haven’t had to think critically about like… anything. #so when an issue isn’t ’protest the AFD’ they just don’t know what to do #and I think some of them are genuinely so ignorant that if they afd said solar power was good #they would immediately start protesting against solar power and calling it fascist #they’re THAT fucking bad #not all blah blah blah #sure some are prepared to go against the others #but at the IWD protest I went to it was really fucking notable that everyone who mentioned solidarity w/ Palestinian women in their speech #spoke German with the accents of other languages.

not to be a stem nerd on main but like something about science makes me feel really good about myself. like being into science has actually increased my confidence. ik its not everyone’s cup of tea but WAH what a dear thing to me..

#its the knowing that ur simply just atoms existing. made up of elements which are made of protons and electrons and such. #that theres an electron cloud MULTIPLE in fact and orbitals and so much when ur broken down…it doesnt matter ur size or ur imperfections… #the fact that ur body is full of proteins and enzymes and cycles that keep u running. #the fact that ur blood has a buffer so no matter the pH (which is tech just abt the concentration) of stuff u eat #ur always relatively neutral so u SURVIVE and its like. yeah maybe im not stick thin skinny. but like my body does INCREDIBLE things…and #its full of incredible processes and who cares abt the way i look in this one dress when theres so much science in me :) #ive had this thought for a while and so idk if i said it properly…ugh i hate that bc i think its such a fascinating thought and a comfort t #me but #this kind of sounds weird like idk how to articulate it and its just how i feel but like. yeah im in love with science its bewitched #me mind body and soul…literally!!! #i love science so so so much every single one is incredible to me in every way.. #found this in my drafts and i feel like posting it this is so so true i love it sm...yeah..science makes me feel good :] thats it

charles is still mad that pierre went and posted about going to the coldplay concert with his girlfriend instead of him. he was like, "why am EYE the side piece, break up with her or I will start sleeping with max."

bestie, love and light, but charles would sooner threaten to step foot into the next oceangate research vessel than threaten to sleep w max

#also to me....To Me....i dont think theyre the kind of pairing to make threats like that in general #like there's certainly the yearning and Desire of ''why wont you choose me'' but like....i just cant see EITHER of them demanding #an ultimatum like that? bc really they do just want one another to be happy. even if that isn't w themself. yk? #i know you meant this as a silly bit LMAO sorry for the mini tag ramble. i just one of their most powerful elements is their stupidity #as in. theyre insanely possessive of one another and are Inevitable but value their friendship most of all at the end of the day #which means even though they know they can make the other SO happy...they will never risk that existing relationship to get there #in the ''is it better to speak or to die'' quote/ideology they r always gonna pick die. #AT LEAST. TO ME!!!! #(also i hate charles/m*x so much LMFAO i cant have him threatening pierre with HIM) #sorry dkhdjdmdkdm just the tags of an unwell person over here!! #ask reply #Anonymous

this might be highly controversial but i have to roll my eyes a little at people who say they're basically an only child when they do have siblings and there's just a noticeable age gap. you're not like an only child, you're just a person with older (or younger, i guess) siblings. you'll always be able to have siblings in the world and know you have that family and those connections out there despite everything. the only time someone can actually fully understand what it's like emotionally to be an only child who have siblings are those whose siblings have actually passed away honestly.

#like it's not just about 'oh i was a bit lonely growing up wah sadness tears no one to play with' #i feel very alone in the world a lot of the time bc i literally know i have no connections out there #i will never have a sibling just existing out there a connection familiar or unfamiliar but out there and available in some way #cause you're not really alone you're family is right there even if you don't like them or don't talk with them much bc they're older #or younger or whatever #there's just that element of knowing that yall aren't really only children #in all honesty those who've lost their only sibling or siblings tragically have it the hardest bc they do know what they've lost #in a way they're doubly alone in the world compared to only children who have never had that comparison

SHE WAS A PRISONER to this dream that revisited her many of a many nights. meeting a handsome prince confined to seldom hope. ( trapped ! trapped ! ) but he was like her , wasn't he ? within a reality that he did not mean to stumble upon. he was the red rose plucked away and discarded of his thorns so he could not fight back.

oh , he was lovely. more lovely than any amount of royalty she could come close to. " you are here .. " she says , attempting to relish in the moment just for it to be stripped away , causing her dysfunctional dream to take shape in the presence of a terrifying beast. HE WAS THE ONE WHO IMPRISONED HER . . . and now , he has imprisoned this other poor soul.

but she will not give up. she will find this prince once and for all.

for many nights , her nightmares would cause her to wake up screaming and sweating profusely from the terrors of not being able to save this other lost soul who had been so disgracefully betrayed , but not tonight. SHE REFUSES TO FAIL TONIGHT. this prince , he must be real --- and trapped here. trapped somewhere in the castle.

he is possibly hidden deep within a dungeon. and just like that , beauty has made her decision to be as quiet as a mouse and slip out of the lavish bed that was so humbly gifted from the master of the house.

a candlestick is obtained , and the creak of the door has her heading off 'pon the castle grounds for answers. at night , everything within the castle was rather dark and gloomy.

it was different within daylight hours where some bits of hope could be found. to say that she was afraid to take these steps onward would be a lie , but if there was a prince within this castle held against his will , she must be the one to break him out and get him to safety.

perhaps . . . perhaps they could run away together. start a new life away from the horrendous life she is living now.

down , down , down the stairs she goes. she will remain vigilant to check about , for the beast did seem to be just as quiet and observant of her.

no signs of life were seen , and so she heads on into the deepest parts of the castle. a place he has hidden from view. a place she was forbidden to go . . .

she looks upon tattered walls and empty chains of nothingness. it was intimidating , but no signs of life could be foretold here. this place once hosted parties , but life does not live here anymore.

A GASP at a shattered mirror and a slightly tattered painting can be seen. ( whoever did this was frighteningly afraid to look upon the beauty of a man in it . . . )

she is slow to uncover more of the painting , eyes to widen at the growing sincerity in the eyes of another she has met once. ONCE UPON A NIGHTMARE . . . a sweet , sweet nightmare.

the candlestick drops , and she is left without a light. she fumbles backwards falling into an all too familiar patch of fur that stands behind her.

her heart begins to pound rapidly , the fear reflected in her eyes with the quick turning of her person to find him . . . the master.

(I left out the stupid joke)

#on brand for me #i liked this story and was able to enjoy it #only afterwards the race-swapping/'colorblind'/racist casting bothered me ... #especially in this story ....... bc it's such a typical thing that esp. white men do to women and poc #to steal our work and take the credit - esp. bc they think we don't deserve it or 'wouldn't know what to do with it' etc. #precisely because we are women and poc and thus 'beneath them' and they feel entitled to it like a resource/raw material #i have personally experienced it MANY TIMES #so in rian johnson's shitty tv series OF COURSE Gavin is a white guy (the actor is Italian/white) #while the murderers and thieves are a white woman a black man and a meek/'cucky' lmao white man ugh #white men stealing our stories again ... blade runner 2049 all over again :/ #in another poker face episode there is a bunch of people laughing at security cam footage of someone dumping the dead body of a black man #and it's apparently 'okay' and 'not racist at all' bc they cast a black man as one of the people laughing #that was really fucked up tbh #natasha lyonne why #i still have to watch if because i love you too much :/ #(yeah i'm blocking everyone who tries to argue in the notes lmao) #(and missing the point of Gavin being a 'magpie' but not murdering #and ripping off a whole entire song every single word and note from one single specific person ... jesus christ xD) #('magpie' meaning that he took a sound here a rhythm there a word here a thing there etc but he didn't ever rip off a whole entire thing) #(in real life it happens that songwriters accidentally take a melody or other element from an existing song) #(often they settle it by giving songwriting credits to the original - it was unrealistic in this ep that it would ruin the whole deal) #(but maybe a little bit plausible in this specific scenario since the song was supposed to be their one comeback hit) #(and they didn't have anything else remotely as good) #(while f.ex. ed sheeran has accidentally or not copied melodies before but he's got 50.000 other bangers up his sleeve so it's no big deal) #(like he doesn't lose his entire career over it lol - just some lawsuits once in a while heh)

thinking about what would've happened if ruidus hadn't been caught in exandria's gravity and really did shoot off into outer space and eventually not only impacted & irrevocably altered/brought life to a new planet but made a fucked up moon 2.0

#basil.ramblings #the more you think about it the more hilarious their plan was. i don't know if the gods or primordials knew how exandria #most likely came to be pre-founding with the luxon impacting it outside of acknowledging the potential & energy it left #but the idea of like. hey let's take this trapped God Eater that is imbued with divine & elemental magic #and throw that fucker back into space sjkdfhg i'm sure it won't hit any of those other planets we passed and/or do anything else weird #i mean i'm sure they were pressed for time & we know very little & it could've just stayed dormant but predathos also creates life so. eyes #( which ?? i forget if that's predathos's influence or the fact that ruidus is carved from exandria or maybe both ) #i feel like the main difference for ruidus would be that everything is much further away bc all of that basically happened see: life #but exandria would be so different!! i wonder if apogee solstices as we know would even exist bc of ruidus's relationship to leylines #anyway magic is life space is cool i am back to thinking about a shard of a universe fracturing itself against the face of a new world

tbh like. i'd take someone writing something weird with full intentionality than someone writing it by accident and screwing it up any day of the week. at least the first group tag it lol

#like. at least i can fucking avoid shit i don’t like if it’s done on purpose #also presumably the author knows it’s bad irl and why which is way more important than fiction like i want people to know enough to #be able to stay safe that’s what really makes me sad and uncomfortable with fic that includes uncomfortable and problematic elements #for lack of a better term accidentally bc it scares me the authors have such a lack of education on important topics #idk like man. i hate how little nuance ppl have with this online #like there’s shit. i don’t fucking like existing #but I’d rather be able to avoid it and have ppl writing it know to keep themselves safe #than do it by accident and have me stumble across it and be vulnerable y’know?

me, at 8:30pm, thinking about bocchi x seika and letting my train of thought just keep going from there:

"oh so that's why i have a thing for age gap..."

#personal #'what does this mean' you ask #it means everything #what a foolish question #no but the actual answer #is how it sort of fulfills a desire for an older more experienced woman to just sort of #exist in my life and be able to be intimate and sort of like. a mentor figure #and that includes with stuff like sex and other physically intimate activities bc like #i have absolutely no idea what i'm doing #and i have no idea where to get the experience with my partner outside of a shitton of trial and error #considering we're both each others firsts #so there's just this unfortunate mutual understanding #that we both have a lot to learn and no idea how to learn it #hence; the fantasy of 'Older Woman Takes Interest In You And Becomes Both Your Lover And Life Mentor' #i love my partner dearly and we are an incredible pair #but there's experience missing that we just don't know how to cover #we've talked about this stuff before and neither of us really know what to do #but also for me there's an element of like #'i need a mentor in Womanhood' because i lived ~26 years of my life before realizing i am one #and i picked up close to nothing about Being A Woman in that time #so i feel a huge gap of knowledge and experience in Being A Woman that i feel like i need active guidance to get filled #because right now i'm still in that place #where i feel like i just Want To Be a woman #but am not Actually a woman yet #because i don't know enough #idk #this is probably part of why it still feels like my attraction to women is the attraction of a straight cis man #and not that of a lesbian #bc i can't earnestly see myself as a lesbian yet bc i can't earnestly see myself as a woman yet #and i don't think many people besides those close to me would see me as a lesbian either

well whatever im fucking crazy . back to my darling dear skdp pd au because ohhh baby do i love to say shit !!!

#william could so be the deathbringer btw. if he wanted to #he wouldnt but i think like. mal is the head of the temple abd william defected young then fucking died and got crazy powerful bc he doesnt #need to channel his necromancy.. he hasnt had his surge yet though so he dabbles in elemental shit though mostly fire and air since theyre #the most powerful by FAR. dakota has tge unbreakable skin thing with the strength and all. no surge but his powers were formed by instinct #so he doesnt know how to do other things. absolutely no clue about vyn as per usual but i can keep the alt dimension shit thats a thing #hed be old enough for his surge buttt probably wouldnt have it if hed only gotten to that dimension a couple months before? magic existed #in his homeworld so maybe he tries out elemental stuff before maybe going for powers similar to tanith with wallwalking and something extra #bc i think it would look cool. ok. and i make the rules
