#at least we arent alone

[sparring-spirals]

i still am processing. a lot of thoughts about this particular cameo and- similar to the C1 cameos have some reservations despite my overwhelming joy over these characters, but. But.

Being wildly, fully indulgent and just focusing entirely on Caleb and Beau, for a moment-

I am so deeply happy. That they came with each other. I am so glad that all these years after their stories ended, we see Beau pop up first with all her skills under her back and confident with Caleb watching her back. Im glad that the world has continued being a mess but they are still in tight lockstep with each other, referencing past triumphs and mistakes. I'm glad that they poke each other a bit, still, and keep each other in check, and that even as the world ends. Have each other at their elbow, and breathe easier for it.

Im glad that. After a campaign of lonely people finding each other and learning each other and not expecting to be able to keep it. We see them here, now, decades out and. They aren't alone. They have each other. Im glad.

#i have. a lot of feelings about the role of bringing them back in. while it makes sense from a pure plot perspective just. yknow. hmmm. #but at least in bringing them back we get to see all over again that they arent alone. thats. very nice. #critical role #cr spoilers #c3e50 #caleb widogast #beauregard #empire siblings #okay back to bh meta tomorrow. probably. #character meta #my meta

Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐 #to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys' #and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

genuine question am i just a bitch for being upset over something .

#my mom decided to open some of my dads batman figurines. figurines dad never got to open. #theyve been unopened on a shelf since dad died. i THOUGHT we agreed to leave them unopened. #apparently not! because the second my niece decides she wants to play with them (THEY ARENT TOYS BTW) she just. opens two of them. #without even asking me. she wouldve pressured me into saying yes either way so i guess it doesnt matter but. #im. am i just a bitch for not wanting my four year old playing with my dads stuff. especially stuff he never even got to open himself. #am i genuinely just being an ass because seeing that made me want to cry. #i dont care that she put them back in the box SHE DIDNT EVEN ASK ME. #THAT WAS *MY DADS* STUFF. I SHOULD AT LEAST BE ASKED RIGHT? AM I CRAZY. #it wasnt mine but it wasnt hers either. its dads. its his. we shouldnt be messing with it. any of us. no one should be messing with it. #we should leave it alone. its not ours. and its definitely not ours to give to a TODDLER who might BREAK IT. #NOT TO MENTION SHE COULD HURT HERSELF IF THOSE THINGS BROKE. #idk. i. im really shaken up. maybe im just a bitch.

i would like to thank any gods out there that the physics exam was in fact manageable and most questions worked like the ones i did manage to look over. no idea if i got to the correct conclusion but i'm pretty sure my formulas are all in order. i'm careful not to hope too much but i definitely didn't completely screw it up.

i would also like to thank the snow that i got to go home earlier.

i would also like to fight my french teacher and stop french classes immediately i don't understand a damn thing and there's too much grammar and i can't focus and i'm too demotivated to spend the time on it i should and i wanna cry

#a biscuit's rambles #EVEN IF I DONT USE THE SUBJONCTIF FRENCH PPL ARENT STUPID THEYLL KNOW WHAT I WANNA SAY #also leave me alone i was prepared for the way u usually test someone in class #not that #i woulda been able to handle that other stuff #also i KNEW my vocab okay that one phrase wasnt even in That vocab #we have two french lessons back-to-back on wednesdays and they make me wanna commit spontaneous self-ignition #just crumble to dust for a while. ill come back after french please and thank you #but hey physics went. well imma be a bit careful so i wont say well but better than expected for sure #at least thats done #now just small maths and politics tests on friday #and the spanish exam next week #and that other one in two weeks #and-- okay okay one exam at a time #im not gonna die but i will wish to be taken over by blue fungus for a prolonged if finite period of time

British Media: "Nation reeling from health updates on the King and future Queen-"

The UK in reality: *literally preparing the crabs*

#they wish we were upset about those two going to hospital #no one gives a shit about charles even without health issues so like #if anything this is just karma in people's opinions for diana #and in terms of kate only kate stans really give a crap #otherwise you got all of us wondering why the fuck her visit to hospital is looking suspicious by the day #let alone wondering why the news thinks its so important to celebrate william doing the bare mimium #aka visiting her and taking care of her and the kids once shes out of hospital #like at least he can do it #people who arent royals struggle to do that without work fucking them over

people who don't use the tags to be sad and vent are so powerful lmao couldn't be me

#real talk it has been BAD lately #the POTS has gotten MUCH worse lately #for example. yesterday i had to call someone to bring me a sports drink because sitting up in bed made me almost lose consciousness #like i am DREADING leaving the house because im having minor-ish episodes at least twice a day #and the new scary part is that when i have an episode i cant speak well #i can say a few words at a time but thats it #which is scary and also frustrating because people tend to freak out and ask a lot of questions and its hard to answer #and it sucks because i know i cant do certain things when im home alone anymore #like showering (huge trigger) or cooking (also trigger sometimes) because its honestly kinda dangerous now #its very humbling to have to lie down on the floor because painting for 20 minutes triggered an attack #and a lot of the people around me arent handling it well so thats a whole OTHER set of issues #im honestly thinking of writing out a 'what to do during an episode' plan for the people in my family to make it easier #and another 'how we explain this to people' plan because everyone is giving different accounts and kinda minimizing to not scare people #which i get because it all SOUNDS very scary and we dont want people to be worrying (and frankly bothering us about it) #but if i show up to an event or whatever and have an issue or i start using a mobility aid (maybe?) they'll get weird #ANYWAYS this all sucks but also im hanging in there (and yes my doc is on top of this dont worry) #its going to be really interesting to see how things play out over the coming weeks and months

I dont mean my last few posts as a “HA HA you thought riverstar was GAY CODED lol LOSERS” thing btw, I totally get why people latched onto him (saying as someone who latched onto Hollyleaf this way) and I don’t think it was dumb of anyone to do so. Plenty of people do that with all kinds of media. I do that. I am someone who is like “Yay Ash’s Gliscor from the Pokemon Anime is a lesbian because I really like that Pokemon” I have zero place to judge and I think people more than have the right to be upset that riverstar got the hetbeam.

#im mostly pointing out the weird thing with ‘’wc would absolutely be lgbt friendly if it wasnt for china’’ #like these arent the most traditional christian books ever when it comes to gender roles at the least #they cant even commit to a working mom character you think they like gay people and all the ways we defy those roles? #my point is mainly ‘’if they DID respect the community and were genuinely being held back from including rep #then they wouldve left riverstar alone. its like like they havent tried this with tallstar and ravenpaw

things have not been normal. im so tired.

#i nap all the fucking time cause im so tired and my body is like making me get rest one way or another but then i wake up #and everything is still just waaagghghghggh you know. i am fucking sick of it! #i am not just a normal amount of tired i have been on the verge of shutdown since at least mid semester hanging on by a fucking #pinky nail like im going to be fucking insane. i NEED a break. if i need to check into a psych place to have that happen so be it #one way or another yall will leave me ALONE. #tired of people holding it over my head like when they've done shit lately esp when it's bc of how badly ive been fucking struggling #im not just being lazy!!!! im losing it!!!!! and that makes me feel like i cant reach out or rely on others cause i'll always fucking owe #them something or im always gonna be on thin ice in potentially fucking things up #like i need two seconds to get back to myself i need time to reconnect i cant fucking do this anymore #i love myself i dont like how im acting rn bc im just desperately in need of a break #and god yeah fucking arent we all but i need someone to see that it's bad and just. Be with that. not shame me or make me feel like shit #or fucking less of a person or like i need to like Bring it down a notch or whatever idfk. #just kind of saying things now. i need to journal and cry i think. #abby talks #i dont LIKE napping my days away i dont like not having time to do things i enjoy other than like laying around watching stuff #or being on my phone but i have genuinely not had it in me to do anything else. #anyway. i think i seriously need to be okay with being 'meaner' aka just prioritizing MY feelings and being ok if people r mad at me #cause it honestly feels like ive gaslit myself so many times into thinking im crazy to the point where i struggle in the most basic #situations. uggggghh.

trans rep where characters explicitly say theyre trans or come out on screen is good n all but im gonna be honest i much prefer trans rep where the character design makes it explicit as hell but not a word is spoken about it by the other characters . they arent questioned about their gender , its obvious that theyre comfortable with themselves , theyre living their best life and no one bats and eye . thats the kind of trans rep i live for . i love seeing obviously trans people just existing peacefully without having to explain themselves to anyone . yes this is about rika pokemon and also every other gnc character in sv .

#im kind of so tired of seeing trans rep that feels like it takes up the characters whole personality #especially if its a fantasy adventure story where the plot is entirely unrelated to being trans #i dont want to see the struggle of coming out or dysphoria again and again ive LIVED it . #been there done that lets skip to the part where a trans person is living a happy life with their gender being the least of their worries #of course its important to show the struggles we face and have characters that make trans ppl know they arent alone #but i think its equally important to casually show trans people happy and at peace to give hope for the future to trans ppl seeing it #sv did an amazing job at this . so more trans/gnc side characters . thats my thought for the evening . #txt

i have a headache but also i dont want to go to sleep just yet dkjnfjds i want me-time

(warning: as i was writing the tags of this post this turned into another kinda-heavy rant about the situation my group of friends and i are. so keep that in mind)

#things were weird today when She(tm) was there but when she left things were normal again #but these hours were kinda stressful rip or more like... there was an inherent discomfort and tension in the air #with some ugly commentaries and actions on her part. like its your (supposed) best friend's birthday at least try to hide your disgust 👍 #birthday you ~apparently~ forgot until it the day before. also you didnt had a single penny to spend on the gift for him #but you sure as hell had it to go eat with your college friends to expensive places! girl at least dont post about it on insta #and just in case; this wasnt a '*goes to expensive places before* -oh i dont have money sowwy :((' #this was a '-oh i dont have money sowwy :(( *goes to expensive places after it*' #what we were asking for collaboration was way less than what she spent on those places. it was AT THE VERY LEAST 3000 ars per food #and you know what she wanted to give for the gift? 500 ars!!! you cant buy shit with it; let alone if we only collaborated with 500 each #like she wanted. we're 4; genuine question what kinda shit can you buy for $2000. maybe a good quality cup but we already gave him that #but even then the point is not the money; the thing is the attitude. you cant spend more than $500 on us #but you can spend at least $6000 on your other friends; given you went to eat with them two days in a row. priorities i guess? #OH! and talking about it!! can you fucking believe she INVESTIGATED the phone of our ~new~ friend (the one shes jealous of) #and DEADASS said 'oh i see. my mom has an A51'. our friend has an A20 if im not wrong; which might not be an A51 but its. still expensive?? #also your mom has an A51 but you have an iPhone 5 since you were on high school. but hey; apple i am right?? inherently better than an A20 #sorry i have less than that; i have an A10s (that i got on the start of 2020). can i still breathe the same air as you and your mom /s #once again the problem is not the money or the phone or WHATEVER. its the fucking attitude shes having. you want to pretend you have money #and act like youre superior to people who 'dont'; when in reality YOU ARE MIDDLE CLASS. YOU ARENT UPPER CLASS; NOT EVEN UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS #YOURE MIDDLE CLASS. MIDDLE CLASS LIKE THE REST OF US; NOT LIKE YOUR COLLEGE FRIENDS YOU LOVE SO MUCH AND WANT TO IMPRESS #YOU SPEND MONEY YOU DEFINITELY DONT HAVE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO APPEAR UPPER-MIDDLE AT THE VERY LEAST. but thats a lie #a lie that if these beloved friends bothered to ACTUALLY know even the slightest about you; like we do; would fall apart. but they wouldnt! #because they dont care about you as much as we care(d). do you think they will tolerate this fucking attitude youre having towards us? #no they wouldnt. trust me; they WOULDNT. they will tell you to fuck off and leave you completely alone. go cry a river. #god fucking dammit why are you like this. WHY you turned like this. or rather; why we were SO GODDAMN blind we didnt noticed this before #negative

I’ve ended up on such a long break from art due to *gestures to over working at retail job, messing up shoulder due to overworking, continuing over working at new retail job but with less physical concern* that i feel like im learning to draw all over again

So i’ve just been doing little studies, using a personal project as a base to learn in. Not really things im ready to post on socials since they’re very early stages in the project. I do sometimes post the doodles/studies that look decent on my patreon if anyone would like to see them.

Hoping I can get my groove back and post more frequently, but boy howdy is it difficult 😞

So shout out to all the lovely folks following, reblogging and liking my art, leaving cute tags, it’s really such an inspiration to keep me goin in my art pursuits ❤️

#prinnyposts; #(( feel like its been awhile since ive posted anything or updated #also shout out to all my fellow arists also struggling with motivation or time for art #at least we arent in it alone :’) ))

Born to eat my beans on a baked potato in peace. Forced to watch otherwise very progressive Americans on the internet cry and throw up about how disgusting it looks

#we have had the exact same fucking debate for so many years leave us alone man #at least come for the foods that arent simple slapdash meals that never claimed to be high cuisine #*cough* shepherds pie please just cry about shepherds pie it does actually suck

2 types of people :

- this place isnt safe for me so im gonna leave for somewhere safer

and

- im gonna stay in the unsafe place just so that other people who feel unsafe arent alone

#this is about being trans #you do you if your in the first one #but just so you know im staying here making myself visibly queer and enby to let others who dont want to or cant leave that they arent alone #even with this province hating trans ppl more openly everyday #i want to be the at least one safe place in this hostile environment #we are here and we shouldnt have to move because of biggots #some people also are willing to do the work #im sorry but my generation got this far and its not for biggots to take away our rights just because #were here were queer and at this point if youre not with us youre against us

i wish i wasnt so scared of everything

#i wanna protest and shit but im a pussy and scared of getting in trouble #and i have no way of actually going to one and i dont even know where there is one #i wanna make a fucking difference in the world but how do i even do that #i can barely order my own food how tf am i going to fix the world #and i know that there are others who want to fight for the same things i do so im not alone #but i cant help but feel alone when the only people who feel this strongly about wanting to change the world seem to only exist in history #i know that there are people out there who feel the same way as me but they all seem to have that military mindset #yk thinking of people not as individuals but as an amalgamation of humans #to really make a difference you have to challenge everything they dont want you to challenge #if you see all people as a whole you see the same thing rich fucks do but if you see people as individuals with lives you are challenging it #we arent just disposable like rich white men think we are #we have to treat each other like real human beings and not as part of a statistic #humans werent meant to have this big of a society because at the end of the day we are mammals #you dont see wolves being in packs of millions you dont see any animal doing that and we are all just animals #so if we want to make this big fucking society work everybody has to have the same ammount of power #but with greedy fucks cant let that happen or else theyre just another brick in the wall #anyways im done rambling #i hope you guys understand at least a bit of this is you cared to read

if theres one song where I have to pause my music after I finish listening to it just to let all the feelings sink in it's this one

#like the emotions in the ending holy shit #we were never broken lifes just very long #(with trembling voice when the music has gone silent) brave faces‚ everyone. #like what the fuck #and then it ends and my next song plays and im left reeling every time #also I love how broken is used #like #doesnt mean we arent messed up‚ bc yeah we kinda are #but our reactions to the world #how we're living somewhere doomed and it feels things were built with us falling in mind #you arent alone in thinking that #you're not broken in that #life is just so long #and we are bound to feel it #grah there are so many lines in this song that drive me INSANE everybody listen to it #“im always looking up. and youre jumping.” #the citys turned off the power you know it's dark most of the week #but if i burned this place down wed have some heat #at least im seeing things more positively #bc i swear im an optimist #the words and the emotion in performing it aghhhhh #music #song recs #spanish love songs #(thats the artists name lol) #Spotify
