soft (and some bittersweet)

#trigun stampede #trigun #vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #i think they both spent majority of their lives in solitude and ofc vash went town to town and made friendships promises and etc along the w #way + he had his home and whatnot in the long years he's been alive but he still just seemed so lonely. #in prior versions of trimax he had friends at home at least and maybe he mightv made some but luida and brad are basically just his #guardians in this adaption. like brad used to be a homie.... vash watched that little dude grow up.... and jessica too.... but he doesn't #have that in this adaption. nor a town like july where he had grown close to the townspeople and shaped that tragedy to be closer to his #heart. and wolfwood spent years fighting under the eom and doing shit under their jurisdiction when we saw him so adamantly try to reject #and fight back against that fate. i dont think he had a second at all to get familiar with townspeople or even care to #so its just these two lonely ass souls and vash immediately seeing the good in ww and points it out #ww who is under orders again to be involved in vash's business but he's also SO touchy about it bc vash is so careless and lack that self #regard and also just is not seeing the world that ww is seeing. but then vash helps him and saves him by sharing a piece of what /he/ sees #and it fucking. rescrambled ww's brain for a sec. HE GAVE HIM HOPE!!! he gave him hope!!!! and in turn ww gave vash hope too and its #all done in like 3-4 eps. there's so much fervent attachment in what they managed to give each other in such a short time #but theyre limited to the contract to the inevitable confrontation with knives - so while theyd want to give into that chance to love this #person who managed to give them smth special they just can't at all #ruporas art

overstated sentiment perhaps. but the point of it all is sitting in a bar with your friends

#literally whenever im just sitting in a bar with friends i'm like i think this is it. i don't think there's really much beyond this #everyone's a mess rn it's everyone's worst week one friend's moving in 4 days one friend's stretched SO fucking thin #all of us have like a 0 per cent shot at academic success and all of our phd contracts are running out #but like. when i a certified weirdo freak am like can we please toast to my dead wife izzy hands. they're like girl absolutely #maybe it's all not so dire #breisgau hochschwarzwald gothic

i keep thinking about a post-royal spinoff where you play as akechi cleaning up the remnants of shido's conspiracy while the main gang is on their P5S roadtrip. except instead of changing their hearts, akechi just beats the shit out of their shadows and intimidates them into submission so hard that it bleeds into their conscious awareness

#persona 5 #persona 5 royal #goro akechi #ive been thinking about this for moooonths #i want lavenza and igor to offer him access to the velvet room #idk what his contract would be though #maybe they just do it as a “sorry you were used as a god's plaything” consolation prize #not that i think yaldabaoth was entirely responsible for the path akechi went down #but like there was probably at least *some* injustice there right #anyways #might add more to this later #persona 5 headcanons #my posts

Ferrari is Charles’ dream as much as winning a WDC.

He was “searching for the red car” before he understood what it would take to get a seat. He’s worked his entire life to drive for them.

His fierce loyalty (no matter how misplaced it sometimes feels from the outside) is one of his strongest traits, it drives him to be better and try harder.

​Maybe it’s naive and sentimental but he doesn’t want to win with anyone else. Charles will retire in red if he has it his way, and he’s not going to regret it. He’s going to give it his all and leave nothing on the table.

If he ends his career without a championship he’s going to know it wasn’t for a want of trying and that might just be enough.​

#maybe I’m also naive and sentimental but I also WANT him to win with Ferrari #we all know he has the potential and it’s hard to see it squandered time and time again #but it wouldn’t mean as much to him or to us if he did win with another team #keeping hopes and expectations low #and preparing to still be disappointed just the classic pre-season routine #don’t mind me as I lay out the clown makeup for another season #charles leclerc #contract extension #screwderia ferrari

accomplishment: emailed a place to ask about adhd assessment. only took me about 6 years. they should just give me the diagnosis for that alone imho

#actually that's not exactly right I also successfully emailed someone at my uni and had a pre-screen a month before end of school year #and then had graduated in that time before an appointment was available :): #I've contacted the same psychiatrist lol. she happens to be running a practice near me now and is contracted with my medical aid #anyways should probably also monitor my meds and shit #and either a confirmation or denial of the tentative bipolar would be useful #if officially diagnosed I can get additional coverage. maybe include my meds #m

I wanna know if Anton's va/creator had any specific regional accent/dialect in mind when deciding on his voice. Bc it sounds like there's maybe Something distinct there, but I can't for the life of me tell what it is. It may even be nothing.

#it's like... east coast or southeast maybe???? idkkkk. all I know it's Not west coast (imo). #idk how much of it is just his (anton's) natural voice and how much is a subtle (US) regional accent #I just really like his voice. it's a little gravelly and it's got a little bit of twang to it. warm and kinda brassy and rich #drops a lot of g's and r's at the end of words. uses a lot of informal contractions. #if any of you are good at recognizing that kinda thing you should tell me 🥺 #though I guess that's not like... a voice people know off the top of their head lol #plus it's not really noticable in his in-game sfx. but it IS in the silly live action steam trailer and that one bit of unused dialogue #tbh I'll probably rb this from myself with some of his voice lines attached tomorrow anyway #just bc I want them on this post. bc I like his voice and want an excuse to post it more #but for now I should sleep. I said I was gonna almost two hours ago oops #roz posts #♡: 🔨🎰🥃

I finished act 2 again, but properly this time. and I cannot even begin to put into words how satisfying and beautiful all of that was. I loved act 2 the first time I played, but figuring out how to save the last light this time, properly completing halsin's quest, storming moonrise towers with jaheira and her harpers, seeing aylin reunite with isobel...all of it. I love it even more. and the beginning of act 3 feels all the more rewarding, having fixed my past errors.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #thoughts about media #that was. incredible. I can't believe I missed so much the first time I played. #but at least having messed up the first time gives me a greater appreciation for the full story. #I did the “lift the shadowcurse” quest SO assbackwards last time I missed like. 90% of halsin's act 2 dialogue. #he IS cute. I am just STUPID. and learned nothing from dunking on gale before- when that was ALSO my own colossal mistake. #jaheira also gets such a badass moment of glory if her harpers as still alive. if you lose last light like I did before... #...god the assault on moonrise feels so...depressing. I felt so fucking bad for her the first time I played. #but I thought that you couldn't save isobel! and that's just what was supposed to happen! fool was I! #oh and if your tav fails the perception check on mizora when she first sends wyll to rescue zariel's asset- HE renegotiates his contract! #which I like better? I like when the companions get to choose their own fate! I like wyll taking a stand for himself! it was awesome! #and well. if corydalis used his outrageous charisma stat to push mizora into giving wyll a funky new sword? that's just friendship <3 #the relationship between aylin and isobel is beautiful. I'm so happy that I replayed to save isobel. I much prefer seeing aylin happy :) #barcus. barcus. barcus. I want to criticise you but I'm in love with astarion so. can I really talk??? #well maybe /I/ can't. but corydalis is Aware and playing mental manipulation chess with astarion. out of pure intent. but still. #join our polycule barcus. please. we will treat you better. I promise <3333 #anyways. not ready for the buggiest part of the game again. but at least I know what's going on this time.

Obey me human au where the demon brothers run a really shitty summer camp in the middle of the woods and they are all camp counselors. I know this sounds cringe but i need someone to see the vision. Every summer is like a cheesy horror film with wacky hijinks and shenanigans and also people are always going missing and theres bones buried in the lake and a blood crusted chainsaw in the shed but also camp counselors satan and asmo are teaching everyone how to make friendship bracelets today!

#devildom lake #its diavolos land that lucifer signed a contract to use to save their camp years ago but it keeps going downhill #the camp is called devildom lake or something. maybe theyre human camp counselors. maybe theyre demons that are just in disguise #i hope u guys see the potential in this concept. its driving me crazy #its 2am i just had to write this dwon so i can draw something based on it later. im so sleepy #goodnite

[heretodefyfate]

sometime i forgot that MC have the snag machine

Like, i'm still aware that we can catch shadow pokemon but like, my brain just registered that it's part of our ability instead that "oh, we have a machine attached on our arm".

#pkmn rejuv #I don't think the story ever expand more on shadow pokemon plot for a long time. #Like. Ren asked Nastasia about them #Other than her saying team Xen don't care if Shadow Pokemon got snagged #We don't get more info about why they continue using them. Later on. We don't see much grunts using them more #I guess it's for gameplay stuffs. #Don't want too many mons with illegal moveset and we already have technique contracts #Maybe it's also related to what Neved said back at the castle? #As long as people fights. The ''negative emergy'' coming from those battles is the most important factor? Or st like that. #Again. What are those negative emotions are powering up for? #I don't trust my brain when it comes to remembering details

Gonna start screaming from the depths of my very soul I think.

#Life yknow. Just. Life #Cant downgrade my phone for a cheaper contract bc even the downgraded options are more expensive than my current contract #Have to cancel my membership to local pool bc they raised the monthly cost so now itd be cheaper just to pay at time of visit #Trying to find a place to move into is hell bc single occupancy places are going like mad #And i am at an incredible disadvantage as a disabled person who cant work landlords do not want that even tho i know how much i can afford #And trying to get on council housing list? Even more hellish and the wait time is years long anyway #Trying to get taken seriously by doctors as an autistic trans man? When im trying to see them about my chronic issues? HELL #Throw in that im also fat and its just awful #Trying also to get the GP to bloody REFER ME ALREADY to the gender clinic #HELL #JUST DO IT #and thats just the top of the list #So yeah i think im just gonna scream about it #Oh and cost of living in general AAAAAAAAAUGH #People not masking when they should and ignoring that we are still very much in the middle of a pandemic AAAAAH #I feel like i am actually going insane #Personal #Vent #Im gonna start chewing the walls #Maybe ill try biting people and hissing again like I used to when i was a kid #Because i might as well #Fuck

second-to-last chapter of Empty Hands and Empty Rooms!!

i think there's just one more chapter left!!!! (though it might take uhh a minute, because not only am i back at work, but about to start 10 hour days and saturdays for two weeks UGH)(and then of course, the book-exclusive epilogue i cannot wait to get to)

#so close to the end!!!! really hoping it's ending ok #life happens and readers drop off from reading but it always worries me that maybe it got boring or took a direction they hated #ANYWAYS work is a public works project now which is such a nice change from tech companies #you sure do get tired of their 'don't use our elevator don't park on the (EMPTY) lower floors out of the rain don't breathe our air' #we're adding projectors to classrooms!!! #not thousand dollar lights to conference rooms for a gc that claims we're ''lucky'' to have parking #lmfao bitch its in our contract you dont have a CHOICE about that

[disappointeddyke]

There has to be more than this like actually, I can’t keep doing the same things every day I’m going to scream.

#I live in a city why is it so difficult to make friends #I can’t wait for my job contract to end already like this isn’t for me #and I can’t wait until my lease ends so I can move closer into the center of city where all the action is #I need to make use of this time until then though #also think maybe…I just need to get laid? #and then I’ll be fine #mine

I think some of the arguments about fan interpretations of characters and OOCness forget a fundamental part of human nature which is this: each of us perceives the world and the people in it in slightly different ways based on our own experiences.

Most people have certain characteristics they consider fundamental to their Blorbo and some characteristics that are less important and could be changed, ignored, or scrapped for AU purposes. Unfortunately, which specific characteristics fall into which category are not going to be the same from person to person. Sometimes the overlap between two people's interpretations will be huge, and those two people will probably enjoy the same fan content. Sometimes not so much.

Personally, I write for a ship that were childhood friends that became lovers. In many AUs, people have them meeting for the first time in adulthood, and for me, that changes the nature of the ship and their characters so much that I can't really get into it. I consider their childhood friendship fundamental to them as people, and those authors don't. Which is fine. Many other people like those AUs. Nobody here is really in the wrong, we just have different opinions on what makes these particular Blorbos them.

In almost all cases, someone out there will find your interpretation of a character OOC. And that's fine. Hopefully they are polite and simply choose not to read your fics/engage with your HCs/whatever. But I think all of us have had the experience of reading a wildly OOC take and seeing other people enthusiastically going along with this "wrong" interpretation of the characters and thinking, "What??!?!"

It's fine. It's normal. It's annoying as hell (people are wrong on the internet), but it's inevitable. And if you find that interpretation particularly heinous to your Blorbo sensibilities, the block button is your friend.

#fandom #fanfic #idk I saw that one post where someone compares like #some people saying chess is beating each other with sticks and it's normal for someone who likes actual chess to be disappointed #as an analogy for bad fandom takes and like... nah man #tons of games have different rules and that doesn't make the game wrong #like maybe you thought all poker was just texas holdem and someone comes along playing five card draw #you are both right they are both poker but you are coming from different life experiences to expect what poker is #characters are so much more complex than games with rules #what speaks to me about a character might not be what speaks to you and this will affect what we focus on/exaggerate/emphasize in ourfanwor #like yeah obviously some people are stone cold wrong BUT it is our burden to bear the weight of knowing and understanding their wrongness #I see new authors freaking out about like what if I'm OOC!!!!!! #and it's like... eh you will always be ooc to some goober out there go have fun #will never forget that one post with like over a thousand notes about how Fenris doesn't use contractions in speech #it was just... provably untrue #posts I expect no one to read lol

[m-an-u]

seen a few posts about the use of chatgpt or whatever on here recently and I get the people saying that they would like their doctors and all to actually be qualified and not cheat on their assignments but like....how many technical jobs (is that the right word?) even have assignments that one can cheat on? Seems a kinda futile fight tbf it's mostly just humanities students that get assignments that are 'cheat-able'

#maybe I'm wrong and if so in that case the energy should be directed to creating assignments that aren't basically copy- paste lmao #i mean our contracts assignment this time is literally just drafting which if drafting can be made easier using ai sure I'm in #but the problem we've been given is made by the prof and going to be very hard to get ai to draft exactly how we want it #dunno
