#barbaric. anyway

[abysswizardstimstuff]

Ooo, could you do a paranormal based horror stimboard? Something with like, spirit boards or amateur ghost hunting equipment maybe?

I would if I could! unfortunately, I'm not finding enough good spirit board/ghost-hunting gifs (though there are a lot of very sparkly resin planchettes). I also don't know where to turn to make my own, apart from maybe the youtube channel glam & gore (which recently returned from a long hiatus).

hopefully you can find someone else to fulfill this request for you! sorry I can't do it myself, but you're free to send me other requests! surely there will be something I can do for you. thank you for the ask, and have a spooky day!

#anonymous asks #unfulfilled requests #sorry anon :rinapensive: #two fails in a row... #well ok the other one is tumblr's fault #got another eyegutz request #tried to post it with the violence community label #tumblr ate it. #had to DM it the gifs individually #like some sort of caveperson #barbaric. anyway #I'm still good for more horror requests #so!

what kinds of gestures would theo appreciate the most? it seems like he's generally uncomfortable by expressions of affection (physically especially) and it would be neat to know what would actually make him feel happy. perhaps little gifts and such? would he keep said gifts? so many thoughts about this Strange man

I thought of some other common ways people demonstrate affection and make friends besides physical touch: kind words, gift-giving, acts of service… all to try to show that Theo is a dire prick.

Theo is an intractable misanthrope - miserable, spiteful and prone to seemingly random acts of aggression. He is deeply uncomfortable with other people, and if he can't keep them at arm's length, he goes for the throat (or, at least, snaps at their ankles with petty jabs and demeaning remarks).

I think I have erred in mostly drawing his Amaranthine self with his mother or Hyden, two people he greatly admires and devotes himself to. Frankly, Theo does not appreciate affectionate gestures (or any interaction) from anyone besides his chosen person(s). He doesn't trust such gestures, he doesn't really want them, and he feels a certain bitter satisfaction in throwing kindness back in people's faces.

Being kind to him might keep him from being as hostile as he would be to someone unkind, but that's not a guarantee. He often sees kindness as manipulative, condescending, self-righteous or just plain stupid. He may be increasingly cruel to someone of a gentle disposition just to see how much they can take before they snap back and show their "true colors", vindicating his initial dislike of them. Trying to bond with him is almost as likely to earn his ire as antagonizing him. All that to say... I wouldn't waste gifts on him if I were you.

(Now, obviously, he is capable of bonding with people, but it takes some very rare and particular qualities and circumstances. If someone is one of his chosen few, he does appreciate gifts - and keeps them forever - and he may be grateful for flattering words, and maybe he will even tolerate being touched, but he doesn't demand or expect much in the way of affection. Being trusted and relied upon is often enough for him to feel fulfilled in companionship. BUT I've prattled on enough for now, don't you think?)

#theo #my draws #amaranthine #asks #sorry for the long post I just have endless thoughts about Theo #I have almost as many thoughts about him as he has insults for other people #truly; he is an insufferable jerk 99% of the time #the kind of guy who would wear an 'allergic to stupid people' shirt if he didn't think wearing t-shirts was a sign of low-class barbarism #the kind of guy who would argue with you on a forum for 12 hours straight #the kind of guy who kills and eats people in at least one AU - and that's the version of him with the MOST friends #anyway... sorry if this is not what you wanted I just cannot stop making characters who are unlikeable asshats

technically a vampire question but not really:

should I write victorian era vampire au fanfiction, is there any advice you would have for writing such a setting/any resources for immersing myself in such a setting? (rlly i just want to feed my brainworms, sorry if I’m being imposing lol.)

dracula takes place during the victorian era so i would absolutely recommend that!! as for general victorian knowledge all i have is based on the horrible histories "vile victorian" segments lmao. other than that, id say u could just do a bit of research on anything that pertains to ur plot, and there are a lot of accounts of victorian vampires and vampire panics :] mercy brown was a very popular case of supposed vampirism from the victorian era (though she lived in america, not sure where your story takes place but id assume england if ur talking about the victorian era? either way the case of mercy brown is interesting id say its worth learning about)

thats about as much as i can help with the victorian era, sorry! if u have any questions about the nature of vampirism ur portraying in ur story let me know :]

#you dont have to read dracula to pick up on the setting either #there are some wonderful posts on tumblr that discuss it #just look up the tag dracula daily and scroll till u find what ur looking for #whats really interesting about the victorian era and dracula taking place in that era is that there was so much new technology coming out #there were portable typewriters and phonographs and telegrams and blood transfusions #its old now but it was really a modern novel. and it really emphasizes the leaps in technology at the time #(while comparing it against the 'barbaric' ways of the old world which. :/ that novel does contain a lot of xenophobia and racism heads up) #but yeah #anyway. good luck with ur fanfic!! :)

Idk if anyone here has expressed something similar before, but I like the idea of Evelyn simply not… caring that Caleb is a witch hunter. And she’s not really concerned about the hangings either. She knows these aren’t real witches. In fact, she finds those nights with the whole mob get their pitchforks and fires quite fascinating. Is it some sort of ritual? A ceremonial sacrifice? A cultural thing? Who knows, but witches have similar antics back home (some villages it was socially acceptable to eat babies), who is she to judge?

It was Caleb who took the initiative to change. He saw people he trusted and maybe even loved be accused and be meet with a horrid fate. He thought I know they didn’t deserve that, if they were even witches at all. And then he met Evelyn and realized that there were no witches on Earth. And that was the final confirmation that he needed to realize that he didn’t want a part in this at all.

#this was gonna be a creepy girl Evelyn headcanon but it shifted to this oh well #like her having a morbid fascination with humans’ problematic tendencies #evelyn clawthorne #toh #the owl house #caleb x evelyn #caleb wittebane #Evelyn being indifferent to barbaric behavior because she thinks it’s just a human thing #she does think the methods to find these “witches is quite funny #anyway have another one of my weird headcanons #sorry I don’t make sense again #anyways she tells the girlies back home about the humans #and they’re like omG that is sooo interesting #and one of them starts the first human appreciation society at school #and all their facts are wrong but Caleb is too nice to correct them

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-islamic-jihad-reject-giving-up-power-return-permanent-ceasefire-egyptian-2023-12-25/

Hamas continues to reject the ceasefire process.

The demands for a ceasefire should be directed at Hamas with the same energy and fervor they're directed at Israel.

i dont think a single dictatorship in the world and not even netanyahu’s govt or ppl like trump or a lot of the governments in power would accept a deal like “you can have a permanent ceasefire as long as you give up your leadership”.

#anyways i would like it if u didnt send me constant anons downplaying israel’s actions 🙏🏾 #imagine if the solution to the war in afghanistan was ‘umm taliban should just stop doing that :/‘ #they wont stop. and america being barbaric wasnt going to stop them either #hamas wont just randomly stop either. and israel’s relentless violence towards civilians wont stop them. #it just seems ridiculous to me to put a recognised government in the same league as a terrorist group #i mean maybe u think the israeli govt is a terrorist group too. ok i agree but the global platforms dont seem #to view them the same way so..

believe it or not but assigning morality to phones/phonemes isn’t the haha quirky little joke you think it is!

#like that has uh. a History! #elli rambles #there are definitely some Posts in the linguistics tag sometimes. #it definitely isn’t the most egregious example I’ve seen/heard and the op probably didn’t mean anything by it but. hm! #haha funny alignment chart. now quick tell me what you think about foreign languages. or the sapir-whorf hypothesis perhaps. #ok to take off my Silly Mask for a moment: what I’m getting at with those understatements is that assigning morality/any qualities really to #language has a bigoted—& more specifically: usually racist—history. language has often been used as a tool & justification for oppression. #take a look at the languages currently & historically deemed ‘pretty’ or ‘civilised’. compare that with the ones deemed ‘ugly’ or ‘barbaric’ #who speaks them? ​exactly which features make them ‘worthy’ of those adjectives? is it only phonetics? if so: in what way exactly? #is the categorisation of sounds of speech as having certain inherent qualities truly objective—or do they happen to align with certain #cultural or personal biases? what purpose does this categorisation serve? #are a people deemed ‘barbaric’ because the language they speak is inherently & objectively barbaric—or is it perhaps the other way around? #could this type of view of a language possibly be used to justify the subjugation of its speakers under the guise of ‘civilising’ them? #Perhaps? #which is obviously not to say phonetic features are the only ones used to assign certain qualities to languages! but it was what the post #I’m referencing was about so #anyway sorry I went off on a tangent. I just feel quite strongly about this #languageposting

one more thing for the road: i find it very odd that ppl will draw this hard line about 'i'm not going to engage in ANY content from [x] transphobic author and if anyone else does then they're just not as principled as me and i'll mock them'.... and then continue to engage with content from, a different, but also transphobic, author.

#i simply find it unfair and childish and truculent to hold others to a standard of scrutiny which you do not hold yourselves to. 1) #2)... i find this a deleterious way to engage? i think it's fine to engage critically. i don't think you should have to place a disclaimer #anytime you do necessarily #3) i again....find it very childish...that when this content is posted the person will be . shocked? that transphobic blogs pop up #in their notes? i know this is a very tailored and curated form of social media more than others. but #i kind of think you should probably expect that and it's rather naiive to...not. if you want to avoid it there is actually a way to do that #and it's finding different authors to engage with. anyways #4) yes! i do actually find it upsetting #when hilmans is lauded for her 'dazzling and clear vision of the world' #when that vision included regarding the fight for transgender rights as a 'barbaric fad'. so.

I will maybe make a bigger post at some point about other characters’ dnd classes but. thought about it. kiryu would be a battlemaster fighter multiclassed into oath of vengeance paladin. end of statement

#as much as I can see barbarian in certain ways he’s not actually very… well barbaric. he certainly could have the rage aspects #and barbarian Can come with some strong moral codes/ideals/etc depending on the subclass #but I think all-around vengeance paladin matches better imo. the mix of tradition/straightforwardness with his personal strong morals/ideals #that often Result in attonement through violence in one way or another- and the fact that it’s an Oath. in his case not to a patron deity so #much as an intense code he’s imposed on himself. it just makes a lot of sense to me #battlemaster prior to fully developing that complex- straightforward but more adaptable than something like champion #based around techniques and manuevers picked up from training and just fighting wherever and whenever #and makes sense to me that he’d have second wind for sure #hm. I guess one way of putting it is there’s an inherent sense of self discipline that comes with paladin (exception of oathbreaker for #obvious reasons) and kiryu takes on that self discipline complex pretty hard probbbabbly after kiwami 1 or 2. #rambling #kiryu #I think saejima’s a good example of a barbarian (totem warrior specifically). he’s got ideals based in wisdom learned from the world around #him and lived experiences and etc. but it doesn’t feel like a code he has to abide by or a list of commandments for himself #I know I said I wasn’t gonna talk about other characters in this post but I just. have to mention. the other character im pretty solid on #is akiyama. who’d be a bard of whispers / drunken fist monk. which is a WILD and probably very fun to play combo #his charisma and dex would be insane. int and wis also very good. strength meh to bad. but by god his con would be atrocious #kiryu’s like the polar opposite almost. charisma atrocious. int/wis not good. strength and con insanely good. (dex pretty alright tho) #anyway I should stop

discovery channel will be like “on october 17 2013 someone recorded footage of a very disturbing, completely unprecedented impossible event which implies, without a doubt, supernatural connections and evidence of extraterrestrial life forms…. let’s hear from some experts about this super spooky, extremely unnatural floating object” and the experts say “so actually this is a weird type of cloud it happens sometimes” and discovery channel will say “tune in next time for a car making weird spooky noises…. we’re thinking it is probably a ghost”

see the thing about anime and anime-adjacent things is that i have given up on expecting them to do good on character designs on south/west/southwest asian characters

#like yes of course the chinese game company pays very close attention to fantasy china #they also call themselves otakus so of course they pay close attention to fantasy japan #even though they failed at not sexualizing the women in either region #fantasy germany i cannot say anything abt bc i dont know shit about real life germany but #im pretty sure they didnt even really integrate german culture into mod #mond* #not in the way they did liyue and inazuma #all the sumeru quests that have something to do with the eremites are dogshit bc of course they are #the dark skinned people are viewed as barbaric and uncivilized and stupid even in-game #literally the only saving grace is that the akademiya is full of pretentious racist classist bastards anyway #i dont mind dark skinned characters being morally dubious #it becomes a problem when the only dark skinned character in genshin who is genuinely wholesome is xinyan #and shes not even part of the main story #kaeya is sidelined constantly #candace and cynos designs suck ass because why are the desert dwellers wearing extremely revealing clothing #dehya is.... fine. i guess her skin counts as pretty dark to a racist company #and i love nahida as a character but i still hate her fucking design #im pretty sure the light skinned characters in sumeru have lighter skin than the light skinned characters in other nations #u cant go too wrong with a european country i guess but fellow asians are too hard to respect properly #bc of the colourism. of course #not even arknights is safe from this shit and i generally think of ak as leagues better than most gacha games ive ever played #like yeah of course theres orientalism and sexualization and colourism and racism and classism #even when those things are contested within the story its like the artists and whatnot just do not give a fuck #sumeru is rich with lore and the way they integrated aranyaka was cool and the archon quest was so good too #but it really is just. so bad at the same time #so i just dont think abt it anymore. whatever man #if i want actual good rep for south/southwest/west asians i would watch shows made here #and play games made by fellow south/southwest/west asian people #not chinese or japanese companies
