#and theres always someone like

[maigetheplatypus57]

watching scar and joel's episodes first and hearing impulse shouting that grian knew there was a cave system when he suggested the vertical mining thing and I was thinking "lol I'm sure grian figured that there was a cave system below but i don't think he knew for sure" and then i watch grian's episode where he stumbles upon the cavern and starts cheerfully explaining how he hopes the vertical mining will end up killing someone for demise and i just. i should not be surprised like yeah ok typical grian behavior.

#hermitcraft #grian #maige's posts #no its so funny bc i was thinking back to like. limL joel and jimmy mining straight down for shits and giggles and THEN dying bc theyre #idiots. and then theres grian who was 100% AWARE of the cave and actively WANTED someone to die by it #like ok you chaotic shit this is why your sweater is red youre always on your red life you bastard (affectionate) #mcyt

hot take ??

the only reason people say that "mafuyu and tsukasa have nothing in common" when presented with mafukasa parallels is because they equate mafuyu and tsukasa being similar to "tsukasa has depression" because the fandom equates mafuyu's personality to being depressed and nothing else.

it doesn't help that people (primarily younger people in the fandom) who DO believe in mafukasa parallels end up making the mistake of portraying tsukasa as depressed because as of right now he is not (although it's possible he was in past because of his Very Unclear Middle School Backstory but that's irrelevant)

anyways, mafuyu and tsukasa are narrative foils because their core personalities are built off of the concept of wanting to make the people around them— especially their families— happy.

they both developed personalities at a young age based on someone they looked up to. for tsukasa, it was seiichi amami's performance that inspired him to be a star— a hero that could cheer anyone up. for mafuyu, it was her mother taking care of her that inspired her to be a nurse— and you can see the similarities from there.

for mafuyu, her identity would first come into conflict when her mother expressed her want for mafuyu to be a doctor— suddenly, "everyone's" happiness didn't match what she wanted to do, leaving her in a state of disorder and eventual depression.

for tsukasa, his identity was something he nearly forgot in its entirety at the start of the main story— becoming arrogant and fully absorbed in a hero persona, forgetting the kind person he truly is. furthermore, his current character arc seems to be foreshadowing that what "being a star" to him is going to be called into question— maybe it is something more than just being the main character that saves everyone.

their insecurities are incredibly similar.

in mafuyu's first mixed, mafuyu feels insecure towards ichika because unlike ichika, she feels as if her lyrics have no genuine meaning to be expressed to other people— despite them being her very real feelings. this is brought up again in her second mixed as well.

in tsukasa's third focus event, something similar happens. when watching seiichi's performance, he thinks that his acting is "real" and feels inferior towards him, which is ironic because tsukasa has been method acting this whole time. when tsukasa is acting out rio or bartlett or really anyone at this point in the story, it's not just those characters— it's a reflection of his traumas.

just like mafuyu, tsukasa undermines his passions he's poured his feelings into because someone else's work is more genuine in his eyes.

now, then, foils have many similarities and parallels (and i could honestly list a lot more), but how i define them is that they usually have some kind of major branching difference that MAKES them foils.

for mafuyu and tsukasa it's pretty straightforward.

mafuyu's people pleasing behavior comes from external expectations and pressures— her mother's demands.

tsukasa's people pleasing behavior comes internally, from himself— if he can't meet his own standards, if he can't be the perfect big brother or the perfect star, then he is nothing.

and even then, there's some overlap.

tsukasa's behavior was indirectly encouraged by his mother praising him for being a "good big brother" over the phone instead of asking him if he was okay while home alone.

mafuyu's terrified to be herself around other people because she doesn't want to worry or bother them— she doesn't want to be a burden— and projects her mother's expectations onto them, not realizing that they would prefer the real mafuyu if they knew the truth.

and the concept of mafukasa being foils is most perfectly and blatantly portrayed in these two cards.

mafuyu, the marionette, sitting limp on the floor— puppeteered by her mother's demands and donning a mask to hide her true self.

tsukasa, the jester, standing above everything else— puppeteering silenced plushies— his feelings. he's not being completely honest with himself, and he doesn't even realize it.

mafuyu has cut her strings and ripped her mask in half. she has acknowledged her true feelings and expressed them to her mother, even if she had to run away in the end.

tsukasa has not yet cut his.

#project sekai #colorful stage #prsk #tsukasa tenma #mafuyu asahina #mafukasa #theres also obvious ones im sure you all know. like how theyre the sole sekai creators #or their designs paralleling eachother (color schemes of their eyes and hair) #or how theyre both connected to the moon and bunnies #and how theyre connected by a piano with a moon design thats only shown up in mafuyus 2nd mixed and tsukasas 2nd mixed... where they had #their first mixed events together #or how they both easily overwork theirselves #or how theyre almost always projecting onto other people as if their experiences are the norm #ex: tsukasa with rui in wonder halloween and mafuyu with niigo in main story #I CAN GO ON ABOUT THIS FOR HOURS AS YOU CAN SEE . #EDIT: HERES SOME MORE THAT I DIDNT REMEMBER AT 12 AM LAST NIGHT #theyre both connected to apples! points at tsukasa in fixer 2dmv and points at mafuyu2 #literally all of their vocaloids parallel eachother. #wxs and n25 miku have a childlike sense of curiosity #wxs and n25 rin are based off someone that isnt them for the most part (saki and ena) #wxs and n25 len are both anxious and pessimistic (in island panic... wxs len has a conflicting pov from meiko and wants wxs to just stay in #the sekai instead of being stuck out on an island... which is kinda escapist as hell) #wxs and n25 meiluka have conflicts that are very similar. n25 meiluka represents mafuyus inner conflict between isolating herself and #helping everyone because she didnt know what would be better #and wxs meiluka is the conflict between tsukasas ambition and his fatigue #which is why wxs meiko always acts like wxs luka is a burden whenever she falls asleep— tsukasa himself wont rest #not when he thinks it will burden other people #and wxs and n25 kaito are both driving forces in tsukasa and mafuyu accepting their true feelings #(although tsukasa is kinda not where mafuyu is yet i think you get what i mean) #EDIT: 5/22/24 I CANT ADD ANYMORE TAGS FUCK

Etiquette at concerts (especially among young adults) is sincerely becoming a problem to the point where I avoid going to concerts if any of their songs were used as a tiktok audio at any point in time.

#rambles #good luck seeing the stage when youre in the pit whilst a bunch of clout-chasing 20 somethings record the WHOLE SHOW #its not just that its like... #being aware of the cameras too #it makes people act like they can be the main character #theres always screaming at every silence whilst someone tries to make a joke #if youve seen/heard whats happening on mitskis tour rn you know whats up

[bookshelfdreams]

one thing i love about charles is that he's always ready to throw down. no problem is so complex it can't be solved with violence. he looked at this fucked up, illogical world of supernatural horrors beyond comprehension with its myriad complicated rules, where every entity has it's own unique vulnerability and decided that you know what? there actually is a universal solution to every problem called Bash That Thing's Fucking Head In - and it works a solid 99% of the time!

Much like he doesn't care about every lock having a unique key, he doesn't care about the specifics of defeating monsters and nightmares. Yeah he knows all about casting spells, this next one is something called MOLOTOV COCKTAIL

#i think this is his best trait #like when he shows up in hell and edwin is like i cant outrun the demon it will always catch me just terrified into inaction #& charles is like. well i'm here now. and what that means: well *i'm* sure we can just fucking blow this thing up #and it works! because he believes it will work #of course he learned from a young age that violence was the only way to solve conflicts #grew up intimately familiar w it #and yet! grew into someone who's first instinct is always to protect #and its not really aggression or hypermasculine posturing theres something very rational abt the way in which he deploys violence #its so. hrrgh. yk. #anyway #dead boy detectives #thoughts

"Halsin is useless he can't take a hit and he's not strong"

HES NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HE'S A DRUID.

"He can't cast spells in wildshape smh what's the point"

Wild shape is a defense mechanism! You only wild shape as a last resort. Druids have a lot of spells meant to keep enemies away, you cast wall spells, field of thorns, everything you can to keep enemies away. Once in wild shape, they gain a new set of hit points. So say halsin gets down to 3 hp and he's suddenly surrounded by enemies. THAT IS WHEN YOU WILDSHAPE. Thats why wildshape only gets like 2 charges!!! Don't send him into a hoard of enemies in wildshape he's gunna get killed!

Gods. I'm tired of people saying he's useless in battle. You just think bc he's giant and can be a bear he's supposed to be a a melee attacker. He's squishy!! He's a lover not a fighter!!!

#halsin thoughts #halsin #bg3 #im about ready to leave the general bg3 facebook and discord servers smh #theres always some ashole who thinks its funny to show their tav holding karlachs severed head just to start fights #and theres always someone who is calling people heathens for like halsin #hhhhh

#this isnt vent dw!!! i dont smoke either i was just kinda going for some sort of vibe #i know its usually played for laughs or like. dark humor whenever ppl draw mascots without their heads and u can see the actor #but i always found it fascinating and a little sobering. ever since i was a kid ive always been hyperaware of ppl in costumes #like. even if i tried to block it out id be thinking the whole time 'its not real. theres a person in that suit who gets paid to do this' #it used to be an uncomfortable nagging feeling but now its like. oh yeah theres someone with a whole life story doing this. idk #i think when i tell ppl im not conscious of my body its like. im not dysphoric or experience dissociation but. at the same time #it feels like my physical body doesnt fully outwardly represent me..?? like some sort of costume #i like to phrase it as being a giant hairless mecha and inside theres a very tiny puppy piloting the damn thing #and the other thing is. when i draw my sona i dont really see it as what i /wish/ i looked like or how i want people to see me #its like being in a costume and just. fucking around with some sort of barrier between myself and others #plus mascots arent allowed to talk and i dont really. engage with other ppl in public spaces that it kinda feels like ad lib #i share a lot abt my life but ironically im also a private person..... i guess it just gives me some sort of control over my identity #my art #myart #my oc #sona #mascot #furry #??? is this furry art???? #twinkle #puppysona #edit: had to outline it bc i just realized it looks really weird on dark mode -_-

Vettonso complaining about each other not respecting schrondinger's track limits on the radio compilation + Seb's commentary that made me a bit feral

Must include these sexy ass pics okay, it makes me feral how hard they race each other.

Also SO upset that we got this vid and there's also pictures(and presumably a vid out there somewhere) of Fernando, back then, ALSO debriefing this race. And yet we never got them together?????? Evil. Fucked up.

Imagine seeing them complaining about each other but also having to (begrudgingly if you're Fernando) compliment each other IN FRONT of each other. Maybe its a good thing it doesn't exist, bcs then I'd have a heart attack.

#this is just a supercut of the f1 vid in the source so you should watch that as well :) #thank you boo to inadvertently pointing me towards this moment cause man it makes me insane #like the added context of knowing seb was just being bratty cause he KNEW fernando was heated on the radio is SO funny #fernando's radios....actually so feral #'give back the position IMMEDIATELY' #fernando i dont have the position but i will do my best to give it to you anyways #grrrrrrr theres smth about getting to see seb discuss such a vettonso hard racing moment #he clearly respects him 🥹 #but even years on you can tell hes SO pleased abt how much he was irritating fernando #this is the kinda clip that makes me wish f1 had proximity chat #them both on the radio like 'does that idiot EVEN know what hes doing' #also the annoying confidence of seb on the radio saying its fernando's fault if he gets a punctuee #and not even mentioning the fact that he could get a puncture 😭 #but again. to hear him complimenting Fernando really kills me #just about his spacial awareness and how seb feels like he can always race him to the limit bcs he TRUSTS him #like that is the true f1 romance to me. racing someone hard and complaining on the radio but + #admitting that you never rly felt in danger bcs you TRUST the other driver!!!!!!! #i love sassy angry radios. they both sound so........yeah. im unwell #f1 #formula 1 #sebastian vettel #fernando alonso #we do a little bit of f1 #2014 british gp #vettonso

ok not to be insane but the whole tom putting the bidding sticker on greg situ is SO indicative of their entire relationship bc its all about Tom’s desire for control and ownership over something (due to him feeling powerless and out of control in his relationship with shiv). Him putting that sticker on Greg wasnt just a hehe ill look after you way it was much more ‘I own you. You are reliant on me now and I OWN you’. Which is a sentiment that is the very FABRIC of their relationship, calling back to the ‘I will not let go of what is mine’ water bottle scene. Obsessed actually

#tomgreg #succession #succession spoilers #like its a small detail BUT ITS SO!!!! #their dynamic is fun BECAUSE its so fucked up #it also shows toms biggest weakness (his inability to understand when someone is using him/doesnt see him as an equal/will always betray him #whilst the tomgreg and the tomshiv relationships are very DIFFERENT #theres so many ways in which they are the same #mainly around toms desperate loneliness and desire to simply BE desired #for him to feel important to someone #and i think throughout his marriage he has felt undesired and unimportant #so he seeks importance from controlling greg #OUGH im obsessed with him actually #he also cant take the risk that would be finding someone who authentically values and wants him without wanting something from him #hes so trapped in the Roy Web #i have many thoughts about tom wamsgans #i love you mr wamsgans

[parablesystem]

does anyone else have like... a weird sort of "partial amnesia" where you know about something, you're fully aware that there's some memory there, but you can't actually think about it or feel anything related to it? like a perpetual "wait why did i walk into this room" feeling, but with stuff other people in the system can remember?

#parable speaks #like. how collins cant remember any collective stuff that he hasnt experienced or been told about. except like this #he knows theres Something there. but its always just Kind Of out of reach #this is also how ''withheld'' memories usually feel #like. if someone specific isnt supposed to remember smth/smth is being hidden from the system temporarily #theyll be Sort Of aware of it. but not fully and it cant affect them emotionally. bc they cant actually think about it #its just a feeling of ''??? i know theres something there but i cant remember it'' #does this make Any sense at all? idk #might rephrase this later. if it doesnt

funniest part of seeing someone react to arcane will always be "omg mylo is so annoying shut up kid" *mylo straight up dies* "😨"

#idk why i feel so bad for mylo specifically. maybe bc theres just not much to claggor #but mylo being an asshole is almost endearing in hindsight like thats just a teenager. thats some kid id know from school. and he just DIES #its so horrifying. its so like. episode 3 of arcane will always be my favorite fuck man #it feels like someone pouring ice cold water on you. wake up call. hey this isnt going to be a nice show look at the fucking reality of this #theres like a split second after mylo gets that piece of whatever stabbed into him where he grabs it and looks at claggor #before looking up and seeing the ceiling fall on him #and it makes me want to cry #arcane #mylo arcane

zam has always had a bad memory. moments would disappear in a blink of an eye. mapicc always took it upon himself to remind zam.

zam would glance over while they're talking to someone, a question held in his eyes. mapicc would answer in turn, always fitting in what zam was missing back into the conversation.

this is also part of why zam would write. signs and diaries and torn paper. trying to fit everything he has back together.

after home sweet home, his mind went to fast for anything neat. scribbles on stone walls, sometimes made without a pen. sword scratching into the wall, or sometimes the written memories would be made of himself.

and ohhh mapicc. as the one who would always help zam, for season upon season, he knew just how quickly he could forgot now that they weren't teamed.

he wasn't going to let this happen.

and so he talked over, digging his boots into the snow to make sure the print would stay until tomorrow, staying until he would return. when he had been sneaking around under zams feet, he carved his name into the very foundation of the castle. mapicc would make sure zam remembered.

he couldn't always be there, busy with leviathan and spoke and preparing for whatever was to come, and once he came back, sometimes, zam would forget him. the months alone in his castle had only made memories harder to reach, so all mapicc could do was remind him. he'd start with how they used to work together, get zams hopes up, before telling him exactly how he betrayed and crushed mapiccs trust. mapicc never tried to kill him when he was like this, taking all he needed by watching zams expression fall like his had on the netheroof.

#RAAAAAA I LOVE CASTLE ARC I LOVE THOUGHTS #inspired by a quote i saw but ermmm i forgot it!!! #also theres soms eclipse thoughts like zam remembers things about subz better than anyone else and vitalasy always feels blurry #and hard to reach but dont feel like fleshing them out (unless someone asks for it i love sharing thoughts) #princezam #mapicc #lifesteal #devotion posting #writings #cat posting
