I had a lot of fun reading your LO critiques and reading rekindled but now I'm just disappointed that you're slowly but surely going insane because of a comic

#wym “going” insane #we've been here for a whiiiile LOL #though if i can be honest anon #this is the most zen i've been with the downfall of LO #you should have seen me a year ago when we were discovering the stuff that's in hindsight now #at this point nothing surprises me and i'm at peace knowing i don't have to have any faith in it anymore #if it weren't for the insanity i went through with LO then rekindled wouldn't exist #sacrifices must be made and in this case those sacrifices are my brain cells LOL #lore olympus critical #lo critical #anti lore olympus #lore rekindled #lore rekindled comic #ama #ask me anything #anon ama #anon ask me anything

I wonder how victim learns that Alan is now a stick figure? Probably from footage of the showdown, and victim somehow recognizes that the purple stick is Alan. Anyways, the mercs would probably be ordered to hunt him down and bring him to the base. This could be really interesting, especially if Alan and King have already met.

YEAH.... the hunt for c!alan throughly interests me in this au, especially since victim also could have just noticed the artstyle. like, alan's sticks have a very particular look

they could probably mistake alan for a creation MADE BY alan instead, which brings up a very interesting topic: what happens if ALAN gets captured and victim doesn't immediately realize it's him????

this could also go into the ending of The Box if victim assumed it was Chosen and SC that were the only other hollowheads, and then discovered that there was one more. instead of hunting yellow they might end up accidentally going straight to the source, which means that everyone else has to be as prepared as possible to defend alan, because even if they've probably taught him some self-defense he is not going to be strong enough to beat them, much LESS able to actually think in the middle of combat

#tommy's stickmen tag #we've already seen how victim tortured chosen #so god only knows what they'd do if they discovered they could PERSONALLY beat the shit outta alan. like.... good god #they would make sure he was in enough pain that he begs them to get it over with. that's for sure #i'm curious if they'd have any sort of reaction to the fact that they're doing the exact same thing alan did #because unfortunately for alan he shares most physical similarities with them and not the others #(alan with powers is an interesting thought though......) #also this isn't to say he can't use the pencil like SC. he absolutely can. he's just a lot easier to beat up #i definitely have already compared him to victim in my head though considering he is also basically helpless without assistance

On the "darker" side of being comforted by one's immortality (not in the physical, but metaphorical), I've always been comforted by bone needles.

The idea that even after death, you've still been remembered by how you are used. No, bone needles probably weren't used with human bones, but it's a reminder that you aren't just going to... disappear. I'm comforted in the knowledge that I don't end in a "me" but in a "we," in nature. Everything about me is reused material so much more ancient than I am, and knowing that, I feel so much closer to the world.

#positivity #death positive #death tw #i know i mentioned the last part in a different post but i will never ever forget that nor will i talk about it only once #and the fact that we've found fifty THOUSAND year-old bone needles comforts me too #if you want immortality then there - that's your immortality staring you in the face! #we like to concieve of immortality as something you hold direct witness to but that's only a fantasy... #...in reality you will be immortalized - or likely will be - but it's in such a way you won't be able to witness it firsthand #i have always grappled with the knowledge i could be remembered and recognized and noticed in ANY way #i don't want that and knowing that i am simply borrowing what makes me 'me' does comfort me #it takes the burden off of being Me if that makes sense #this isn't about self-hatred but a burning desire to perfect the craft of being an actual person #i was so absorbed in being Me that i forget that i am part of this universe #human-centeredness will convince you that humans are almost... separate from the universe... #...that humans are unique from the concept of Nature and the World... #...blame it on capitalism or blame it on hubris or blame it on lack of insight... but when you discover how directly connected... #...to the universe you are i think you can learn to sit and appreciate... all of it #from the beetle crawling over your shoe to the wasp gazing into your car mirror... you'll appreciate it #i wonder if anybody else Gets what i'm ranting about here. i always feel weird talking about the things that bring me comfort

Why do you reblog “don’t reblog” posts

extremely funny ask to get on anon bc the reason is "sometimes people on the internet are friends with each other but not with unpleasant strangers"

#if for instance you had searched op's url on my blog you would have discovered that we've been friends for years. #if the posts were never-rebloggable they'd be locked. they are labeled for strangers and available to friends.

just got the time to start the sunshine court and I'm Vibrating out of my skin

#i did not think it was possible for me to like a character this much three chapters into a book #i might actually end up liking Jean better than Neil which is saying a Lot #something about a character whose route to survival had to be giving in and staying small instead of fighting back or running away #something about a character who has been taught to lock up their emotions for years or suffer the consequences #something about a character who is resigned to what happens to them because that's the only way they can survive in their environment #I am desperately hoping that Jean learns how to be ANGRY outwardly without permission. #I need that boy to be able to Rage out loud and do it MESSY #because I'm not convinced he's going to be able to really smile until he does #Also I'm really appreciating both the Renee and Thea content we've desperately needed more of both of them and they showed up so quick #privately hoping both stay present for a while but tbh i'm just excited for where this is headed #Anyways I also just fixated on Jean Moreau then discovered that (SPOILERS) he's 19???? Almost the same age as me??? hate riko hate riko HAT #anyway sorry riko enjoyers i know he's Complicated but I never liked him in the first place #and this book is making me look forward to his death even more than I did when I first read aftg. So. #listen i know he has Issues. I know Ichirou killing him without a second thought is probably the cruelest way that he personally can die #I also want him dead and gone. Those statements can and should coexist imho. #the sunshine court #jean moreau #really looking forward to finding out more about Jeremy too #this is gonna be a wild ride #jeremy knox #all for the game #love how nora's writing and characters can grab me in a chokehold and refuse to let me go thank you nora for the food

1 year of being hyperfixated on hisoillu: OMG THEY ARE INSANELY CUTE TOGETHER LOOK AT HOW THEY SMILE AROUND EACH OTHER!!!

2 years of being fixated: it has been consistently emphasized that hisoka always works alone and that he is his own man yet he keeps on going back to working with illumi requiring illumis assistance aka admitting that he is not that much of a lone wolf as he initially shows himself off to be to other people not to mention his marriage to illumi completely loses him the "own man" status as he now belongs to someone else and-

3 years of being fixated: OMG THEYRE SO INSANELY CUTE TOGETHER AGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

#we've come full circle #you never truly run out of things to say or content to consume when it comes to a hyperfixation #hisoillu #my post #silly #hehe #itll be my third year with these sillies in about a month. ive been hooked since 2020 #hisoka #illumi #i love you two so much #they genuinely unironically changed my life and helped me discover so much about who i was all for the better #i have also met the most amazing people through this silly fandom #thank you togashi for these gay icons #three years and you will still see me go batshit crazy and stim all over the place when i catch a glimpse of them on screen #being neurodivergent is so fun #a childlike enjoyment that never dies.

had Rocky Horror rehearsal tonight and started thinking that really I should be playing Brad Majors....none of these bitches get him like I do.....

#both of the actors we've had playing Brad so far have it so wrong I'm sorry. #during the floor show in particular. they're portraying confidence and brashness when they should be portraying vulnerability and fear #Brad isn't confident in his sexuality and sexiness during the floor show. that's Janet. Brad is fucking terrified #because all his ideals of masculinity and manhood are being broken down. he's discovering things about himself that horrify him #this is a deeply repressed masculine american man that just discovered he likes wearing lingerie and taking it up the ass. #he's not confident. he's SCARED. he just realized he's become everything he was taught to hate and look down on #what did you think the “help me mommy” line was about. the “take this dream away”. #he's cowering. stop playing him like some kind of rock star

my ideal makorrasami imagines are always like

asami comes home to her girlfriend and boyfriend after a long day of being a genius engineer and fortune 500 ceo

she picks up bolin on the way because it's mako's birthday so they're having a little get-together

they head to the pool because that's usually where korra can be found when the weather is super warm, and obviously mako will be there too keeping her company

she and bolin hear raised voices as they approach. omg the girlfriend and boyfriend are fightinggggg

it's a very sophisticated argument. they're just saying, over and over, "nuh-uh!" "uh-huh!" "NUH-UH!" "YEAH-HUH!"

asami and bolin round the corner to see korra and mako glaring at each other, cheeks flushed, eyes glassy, absolutely drunk off their gourd

asami's just like "pregaming, are we? i hope you left some alcohol for the rest of us" and raises one devastating eyebrow

korra and mako turn to her and their faces light up immediately. "asami!! you're here!!!"

(the eyebrow does nothing to dampen their enthusiasm, which is fine, because they're very endearing drunks and she is very much enjoying this)

then they turn back to each other and are like "SHE'LL agree with me. THEN you'll see. i'm right and you're wrong. you're the wrongest forever and ever. no YOU are" etc. etc.

this of course quickly devolves into good ol rough and tumble rasslin

bolin's like "ooh ooh ooh! what are we talking about? i love being part of conversations! i want to have an opinion!!!"

by which point korra has mako in a headlock and they turn in tandem to look at asami (bolin's input is not required) and very earnestly ask her who the best kisser is

they're looking at her so expectantly and korra has forgotten about the headlock so now they're just hugging as they wait with baited breath for asami's verdict

and asami's like oh well uh guys i can't really...that's not...apples oranges et cetera, you're both extremely good kissers, really top notch, full marks for everyone, i uh always love any sort of kissing that we get to do, um, together,

just digging herself into this awkward hole, right. because no one expects that question

mako's mouth drops open. "woah," he says

"yeah," says korra

as one, their heads swivel toward each other

"the BEST kisser...is ASAMI!!!!!" they say in unison

they stare into each other's eyes for a beat

suddenly their mouths are colliding as they LAUNCH themselves toward each other and begin making out frantically and with great fervor

occasionally coming up for air to say such things as "you're so smart" "no YOU" "no ASAMI is" "asami's the smartest" "i love asami" "she's the best ever for always" amidst the most embarrassingly sloppy kissing known to man

bolin's like "soooo. just to make sure i'm getting this straight"

asami: uh-huh

bolin: the reason korra and my brother are kissing in front of us so enthusiastically...

asami: yeah

bolin: ...is because they are in SUCH complete agreement...

asami: right

bolin: ...that YOU are good at kissing?

asami: that appears to be the case, yes

asami can hear bolin facepalm somewhere off to the side, but she only has eyes for the ridiculously adorable and uncoordinated makeout session taking place in front of her

cousin tu's voice comes from the direction of the house. "oh dude they're done arguing? right on"

bolin: how long have they been arguing?

tu: idk, like half an hour? for a while they were just arm-wrestling but korra let mako win because it's his birthday, and he got all cranky about it

bolin: uh-huh. so how did they get from that...to this?

tu: well obviously then korra said it doesn't matter if she's the best arm-wrestler because mako's the best kisser

bolin: wait

tu: and mako was all, "no YOU'RE the best kisser" and korra went "no YOU are"

bolin: so you mean to tell me...

tu: and i got bored after like, five minutes of that so i went back inside

bolin: ...all this time they were fighting because they each think the OTHER person is better at kissing?

tu: well, yeah. i mean if you ask me they both seem to be pretty bad at kissing lol. but whatever, it's not my problem. no offense, asami!

bolin: they're probably better at kissing when they're sober. i mean, this is just embarrassing. right, asami? please tell me this is not what you're working with on a daily basis. asami? hello? asami?

but asami isn't listening. she's gazing at korra and mako with the goofiest smile on her face. her pupils have turned into heart shapes. without conscious decision on her part she clasps her hands and presses them sappily to her bosom

tu: dude, maybe we should, like, give them a minute

bolin: is this even safe? what if they bite each other's lips off?

tu: korra's a healer, right? like, i'm not worried about it

asami doesn't notice them leave. she's so full of love for these two ridiculous idiots that it's spilling out of her in the form of literal tears. she's crying from how much she loves them

this continues until korra and mako in their clumsy enthusiasm actually fall into the pool. korra bends the water away from mako before he can drown and then immediately tries to punch it for endangering him. asami runs over to get them out and they both see that she's been crying. this is followed by a five-minute sequence of mako frantically petting her hair while she tries to convince korra to put away the fire-dagger, no one has been mean to her, everything is all right, korra, no wait, don't go into the avatar state, you're going to suck the cake into the element vortex -

mako thinks it's very unfair that the day after his birthday, he's the only one who wakes up with a hangover. apparently the avatar, who's been up since the buttcrack of dawn merrily inventing the new field of batterbending to replace the cake she and her past lives destroyed, is above such concerns. asami kisses his nose with great affection and, it must be said, terrible morning breath. "how about this," she says. "on my birthday, korra and i will get drunk and attempt to eat each other's faces and you can babysit. sound good?"

yes, that sounds good, he thinks. after all, taking turns has served them pretty well so far.

#my other favorite imagine is just nobody believing mako when he says he's dating korrasami #they're all like yeah sure dude. the two most eligible bachelorettes in republic city are dating each other AND you. we buy it #and he's like no really! they love me and everything! they told me so! #uh-huh. sure they do. in your dreams buddy 🙄 #lok #makorrasami #my posts #i totally understand and support the korrasami-only shippers like you guys are sooooo valid i'm 100% behind you #korrasami is CANON. they're in LOVE #but for me personally there's just something so funny about that part in the comics where mako's like #sorry...i really do support you guys i've just never had two of my exes end up together before... #he's so fucking awkward. i just want to see them kiss about it #like korrasami have been dating for two years and are solid and one day they discover that they both still think mako can get it #and they're like why not? don't we deserve nice things? we've all got two hands haven't we? #so they just go for it. Good For Them #asami loves having someone to gush over korra with and korra loves having someone to gush over asami with #and mako? he's just happy to be here :)

okay so! good news! potentially best of news given the situation I went downstairs to sniff around and didn't smell the hot plastic smell at all furnace has been off now for like. four? hours? probably less, but still. it's been off. and now the smell is gone. so it was most likely coming from the furnace and not from the breaker box! it's still not great and we still have to get the furnace looked at/find the source of the smell because it's still vermont winter and we can't not have heat - we have plug-in heaters and blankets and clothes but that's not good enough forever - but we're not likely to have an electrical fire in the middle of the night! it does make sense, it would be weird (but not impossible) to have both a fire in a duct off the furnace and something happening with the breaker box across the room

#charlie babbles #also while neighbor was down there trying to solve the problem he took apart a couple of the cold ducts to see why some rooms don't get hea #he did not discover a reason #we've just been assuming the ancient long-unserviced furnace had faulty blowers and trying to get government funding to get it replaced #which will hopefully still be possible #but yeah bad news is we can't afford to get it looked at so here's hoping neighbor has a connection

I hate that on Tumblr desktop it just lets you keep typing when you're past 30 tags and then mysteriously half your tags disappear. Like, sorry for ranting in the tags of that previous post but I was busy writing an essay in one-sentence chunks, I wasn't counting.

#using 'essay' very loosely #if I really was I'd be citing sources #but the things mentioned are easy to look up and I wasn't wasting tags on that #still it wasn't perfectly composed either #(rapidly persuading myself to write an essay on the use of AI in the justice system) #listen. I'm a Shogo Makishima fictive whose system is studying criminal justice. and you have no idea how often AI has come up in classes #especially psychology of criminal behavior classes. we've thoroughly studied the bias discovered in machine learning risk assessment models #like it's *definitely* not there yet but something something don't create the torment nexus...
