the thing about queer exclusionism besides being blatantly hypocrytic is that it treats being opressed and discriminated as something meriting authority within the community. "youre not opressed so you cant be part of our community" who are you to decide what counts as opression? how can you judge an experience you havent lived? queerness has so many levels and intersections with other factors that you will never be able to completely santise it to your liking. there will always be people and labels that you dont understand and distinctions you think are futile in the grand scheme of things, but you have to learn to be civil towards them, you have to learn about intersectionality. you cant decide who is "opressed enough" opression doesnt have levels, its not something you can rate, its something you fight against and thats it. if you want to defeat opression, you cant use it as a unit of measurement.

#sorry i usually dont post things like this i just saw too many idiots today #and i am in no way trying to pose myself as an authority on this topic #i have my own set of pet peeves and things and labels i dont understand the application of #but you will never see me exclude someone from being queer based on the opression argument #queer community #queer

Too Much

So this would be the little thing I teased earlier that had the working title of "Jamil's oh shit moment". Whoever the anon was who was curious to see this come to fruition, well, here it is. Hope y'all enjoy this little trip inside Jamil's head.

It all started with an off-hand comment from Kalim.

Well, truth be told, it started well before that.

For a while now, Jamil had found himself strangely fretful whenever you were around.

It was not the sort of irritation he felt with Kalim’s constantly chafing presence, nor the constant worries of what trouble Kalim might find himself in next. Not really like the frustration he got from suffering with Floyd and Ace’s antics during basketball practice. It wasn't even just another of the usual pins and needles of all the small things of his everyday life that kept on needling on his patience.

No, if anything, you were quite…inoffensive.

But he couldn’t help being on edge, on alert even more than usual.

So much so that the other day, when you turned up in Scarabia and your voice suddenly rang clear in the lounge, Jamil nearly spilled the tea he was just pouring into Kalim’s cup.

Or when you’d joined him and Kalim for lunch in the cafeteria, Jamil could feel his shoulders inching up to his ears with the tension that crept into his body. Even holding his utensils and bringing his food to his mouth somehow felt awkward and clumsy.

Most bothersome indeed.

Besides, he already had enough on his plate without you adding to it all, threatening to tear down the precarious control he barely maintained over his life.

And yesterday, you had come to talk with him after the basketball game, saying such things about his performance on court that his cheeks still threatened to redden just remembering it.

You really were just too much.

And the way you had looked at him, like-

“Jamil! What are you thinking about?”

Kalim’s voice startled Jamil out of his thoughts.

“Nothing.”

What was he thinking about? Why were you on his mind like this?

Jamil’s hands kept working, chopping the vegetables with practiced ease. Yet his mind was barely in what he was doing, busy with trying to tease open the budding thought.

…No.

No.

No way.

Surely he was not that stupid. After all, there was no way-

“Oh, you just seemed so happy, but guess it was nothing then,” Kalim said brightly.

The rest of Kalim's words faded out of Jamil's ears.

The steady rhythm of the knife turned more erratic and forceful, sure to leave deep marks on the cutting board. The urge to pull his hood tighter over his face was almost irresistible, Jamil’s hand slightly twitching even as he forced himself to continue with his task as if nothing had happened.

Why had he been thinking about you? About the way you smiled at him the other day?

Shit.

ETA: there's now a part 2! I originally had more written for this but ngl this seemed like the perfect point to cut it. But who knows, maybe there'll be a part 2 at some point. They played this song in my dance class and it got me thinking of that moment when Jamil realizes just how down bad he is for you. How screwed he is when it comes to you. Jamil certainly wouldn’t be as all in as the narrator in the song is (at least with his NRC circumstances), but the lyrics still sure worked as inspiration. Tagging @colliope @crystallizsch @diodellet @jamilsimpno69 @jamilvapologist @twstgo If you'd like to be tagged for future works, let me know!

did you guys know there's a super cute jaunty strut animation for asura that never made it into the game? me neither I just found out yesterday 🥺

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #asura #I don't know where this would be applicable but I love it so much... #wouldn't quite work as an emote since it's meant to be a walking animation #but honestly if anet cashed in on ''alternate'' styles of walking animations and put them in the gem store I would totally buy them #like how elder scrolls online has ''personalities'' that effects how characters stand and walk based upon what yours is set as? yeah

Adam being attacked by a wolf or something outside of Eden but like- the aftermath.

He’s determined to befriend the wolf. They were his friends in Eden and he will befriend them outside of it god damnit.

He figures out they’re hungry and starts bringing the local wolf pack food. He gets it, hunger hurts. And slowly gains their trust.

Eventually he gets the loyalty of the wolves and starts befriending literally every other predator he can. They all see him as “That nice weird animal that brings them food and gives them warmth in winter”

Adam starting the domestication of several animals. He is delighted when one of the descendants of the first wolf pack birth something different but similar, he names it dog.

He names the first house cat, it stays with him and sometimes brings him mice, the cat is neat.

The dog loves it when he throws a stick and it brings it back, Eve lovingly names the game fetch.

Near the end of his life, he is so proud of himself for doing what he did, because it made him feel good to get to name something again. It felt good to eventually be able to play and pet the wolves just like he used to and sure he had to work for it, but it made the reward so much sweeter.

thinking about phoebe exploring ray's apartment when she moves to new york city, a few days after her family move into the firehouse. thinking hard about how ray's occult books has remnants of egon everywhere, if you look hard enough. if you squint, there's a memory here and there. amongst all of ray's other memorabilia that means a lot to him. thinking about how ray sees him in her SO much. how her mannerisms are so similar, and yet distinctly phoebe. and when phoebe steps foot into his apartment, it's so distinctly Ray. and there's elements of ghostbusting, mostly memories, everywhere. and if you squint, there's a photo of these young ghostbusters, faded but youthful nonetheless. and if you squint, there's a pile of letters, dated letters with egon's handwriting on it. and she recognises this handwriting, of course she does. she's seen it before when she was in summerville!!! at her grandfathers place !!!!!!!! and im thinking about the cogs turning in her head as she slowly pieces together the closeness her grandfather had with this Mr. Ray she looks up to so dearly.

oh boy i am thinking . . .

dude sorry but the fight is still fucking with me I cannot believe that they set up an established code phrase for that exact situation, and yet even when it’s obvious the “Pomme” Etoiles is fighting does not know the word, he can’t get himself to fight at 100 percent, he repeats the question several time over just in case the first time was a fluke, im sick im physically ill

#Etoiles who has that set up because he knows damn well the codes pull that stunt #and yet when it’s applicable he can’t fully trust it because what if what if what if #the tp being the nail in the coffin of making sure it’s just a code but still he asks again as he kills the code #they were like prepare for a tough fight and just fucked royally with his head like god fucking damn dude #he knew it was a possibility and even with the precautions he almost couldn’t do it and who could who could stomach that like #with chayenne and tallulah they swapped to code form before attacking. this time the code died as an egg. died with her name. like dude #mcyt #qsmp #etoiles #z speaks

One of my favorite things about Taylor's discography is the implicit acknowledgement that strong feelings are often contradictory (think about songs where the framing of an experience seems diametrically opposed to that of another song, e.g ATW and TVFN, AYHTDWS and IWYW, IFTYE and closure) and yet that makes them no less real or true.

This is why I go feral thinking about her radio silence after Adam Young responded to Enchanted. This is why I always bring up when she described making songs as "putting a picture frame around a feeling you once had." It's a snapshot, a moment that may be fleeting (and one that may endure or recur!).

The pain would(n't) be for evermore. It would've been fun if you would have been the one (I guess you never know). The road not taken may look real good, and I'll be yours for the weekend, but I'll go back to LA.

Taylor teaches us that feelings don't have to be permanent in order to merit attention, expression, or legitimacy. Happy free confused and lonely at the same time - they're all there in burning red.

#this is about jaime's anons arguing that her 'setting off' in the lakes is either predictive or 'fictional' #rather than allowing it to be an authentic feeling that she chooses not to act on because there are other parts of the puzzle #but it's so much more broadly applicable #there's a whole beautiful world in between the poles of ignoring our emotions and letting them rule us completely #ww

god i feel u so much on the not being able to use fancy detail brushes thing, i also use a textured brush (idk abt you but it stops me from obsessing over the lines being 100% Absolutely Perfectly Neat & Even) and i cry every time i see a cool brush that would just look totally out of place in comparison lmao. i keep telling myself someday ill make a whole bunch of custom ones that match my main brush... someday.....

I REALLY THINK THAT'S JUST WHAT WE GOTTA DO.... i do feel like by slowly playing w other ppl's custom brushes (i have to really recommend @robogart, @inspiderwiht and @pharanbrush as artists who create custom brush packs that i REALLY love!), i'm starting to understand very gradually what all the different settings and tweaks and adjustments do, which helps a lot + does make me feel like eventually i can work my way up to tackling my own...!

when i first started out the brush settings panel was SO overwhelming, so it felt like any time i downloaded a brush it was like. either i like it or i don't, and one tiny gripe abt it could ruin my experience w a brush that could otherwise be super useful and fun for me!! bc i didn't really feel capable of really getting into the guts of it and fucking around (also esp when u are on deadlines and stuff it's like. bro i cannot afford to Find Out rn and also i simply do not have time to spend an hour trying to figure out if i can make the pressure curve on this thing play nice w me). BUT giving myself a little bit of time whenever i'm doing personal doodling or warmups or w/e to experiment and mess around has been really really good for making me feel like i can take more control over the tools :D

I GUESS i am rambling majorly and a lot of this has nothing to do w the actual point of ur ask (esp the kind of. stamp brushes or fully drawn stuff like clothing trim/buttons/etc where it really IS like okay either it can blend w ur art style or it can't) BUT my point is just. grips ur arm in solidarity. by fucking around a tiny bit each day. one day we will understand digital brush composition + function enough to make our own. and then it's over for all of you bitches

#also expanding on my recs: #robogart's stuff is GREAT for painting + adding texture #also a lot of stuff that's fun as stamps. many brushes w color jitter that make flatting/blocking in paintings more interesting #inspiderwiht has a wide variety of stuff but a lot of it is like. what i call 'shortcut' brushes for stuff like patterns + foliage #but done in a way that's far less crisp/clean/'perfect' than a lot of similar brushes + i therefore find them way easier to- #-work into different styles + applications #and pharanbrush does EXCELLENT traditional/analog media imitation brushes #i've spent a lot more time w the pencil brushes than any of the painting stuff from the pharan sets but it's all very good

[spookygibberish]

Another fun thing is like. The disparity of how I think of my characters and how they think of themselves and how they exist in the context of their world. I listen to a lot of new wave and most of Ally's playlist reflects that but he would only listen to classical music and either dislike or have no strong opinion on the songs ***I*** like that make me think of him.

Also ***I*** think of them as nb or even possibly transfem but those are alien concepts to him and he is too disconnected from the sort of communities where such notions would even begin to enter his awareness to consider such things, not to mention the mountain upon mountains of shame and repression and self-isolating resentfulness that would need to be scaled first, + these feelings are utterly redirected into his weird elf cum* drinking transformation scheme to transcend humanity. Anyways that's a lot of words for I always want to theythem him but that's not actually something he would like. Appreciate, if if it could even happen in the actual context the character inhabits.

*it's not cum but idk if the reality is significantly better. The goo.

#the setting is like #late 60s early 70s flavored. for some context #dangerous animals #alistair #he is another character where he is utterly wrong about how he actually feels and what his motivations are. hes not at all stupid but #hes sort of like. too alienated misanthropic and repressed and unwilling to peel back the comforting fictions he lives in #i love ally i should do more with him #chatacter that would be EXTREMELY different but also not all that different if you put them in the modern day. #the thing about like. what gender do you refer to a character who you have this knowledge about but that knowledge is not applicable to #their own context or self perception #is interesting #texting

made another playlist, this time based on this video posted by @jean--valswan of jannik being an angsty boy

#i love that video #video of all time #this playlist has been a WIP for a long time but I finished it yesterday while avoiding grad school applications <3 #also i had to make some edits so it's not exactly the right words for all of it #eg 'he is' instead of 'he's' and 'know' at the end because it's cut off in the video so i don't actually know what he said #and i don't have tennis tv to go back and check boooo #however! i did rewatch that set anyways and the visuals of two redheads both wearing green on red clay with green surroundings. beautiful #ALSO!! the fact that there’s a song called jannik. thrilled it saved my life #rambles #jannik sinner #uploads

I think the biggest thing about Sunless Skies that gives it a different feel than Fallen London (other than the obvious gameplay differences) is the position of your player in the universe. In Flondon, your character is important and singular. The storyline is oriented around mastery and influence: starting from the bottom and climbing to the top, gaining recognition and reach as you unravel the world's secrets. While social play is encouraged, there are few in-game characters comparable to the PC, and in many plotlines the idea of being the only or the first one to accomplish a certain thing is specifically emphasized. The story is about what path you take to Make Your Name.

In Sskies, that goal is not absent, but there's a sense of...fleetingness, that never quite leaves you. There are many others like you. You see their entries in the cache logs, they are mentioned in the ports and pubs, you find their frozen bodies littering the open void like stones. It is the very first thing you know when you start: you are a Captain filling the shoes of a predecessor, and in all likelihood simply keeping them warm for the next to come after you, and the next. Your time is limited. Your significance to the wild, vast, ancient skies is negligible. The drive in the story comes from this: Your space in this universe is small and hard fought. Make it count.

#fallen london #sunless skies #i would say I like the sskies version better but honestly I think they both work great for their own applications #both in setting and for the way the games are played #I've seen the flondon fame gathering thing criticized occasionally but honestly I've always read it as like #a tongue in cheek parody on rich Victorian ego #as well as being inherently flexible，because of how players tend to treat the stories #for some it will be about doing Everything，but for most it's about getting a wide choice of what to focus on and how to specialize #in a character development sense #and also the story really is about How you get there and who you are while doing so #what with the quirks and everything #that's a mechanic that's notably absent from sskies #probably because your character is meant to be less permanent and less noticeable as an individual #most of the in-game character defining you do relates to building out their past with facets #because their present and future are so tentative and so embedded in the bigger picture #I really really like it. it's almost like the world is more the character #but ALSO the feel of like. the game does not treat loss lightly. there are Implications and narrative even for the loss of unnamed crew #it all also plays in so so nicely to the switch from flondon's tightly controlled sheltered chaos #(enclosed in a cave，tightly governed by the Bazaar，the sense of a new world building itself on top of older ones) #vs the Reach being so open and fraught and wild and legitimately teetering on the brink in every way #the way the characters are treated fits so so well into the political landscapes too #like. sskies is wartime. #the messaging that you the individual is fleeting and disposable and that it's what you donate your effort to that matters is Constant #so it works really really well there #oh now I want to go on again about how well the flondon way works in a meta sense for gameplay and community building #because it's emphasizing individuality while also paired so heavily with social actions and - #ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu #hey gang have i mentioned. I like fallen london a lot. hey have i mentioned yet that I like flondon A Lot #voidrambles #<- It Sure Does
