Sam: I can't believe you still use a flip phone

Bucky: At least I don't have to worry about being tracked by the government

Sam: Yeah, because they're still using carrier pigeons to send you messages.

Hi! I'd want to ask this about Kaworu: Is he fixated on his own death, meaning he cannot conceive of the damage his death will cause to Shinji? This was just something I bumped into, as some people tried to give an example why Shinji's relationship with Kaworu is NOT the healthiest of them all (which is what apparently makes Kaworu such an interesting chararacter in the first place). Apparently the original drafts even were going to push this idea even further but I can't really comment on that further.

Kaworu isn't fixated on his death but rather fixated with the endgame of making Shinji happy (aside from altruism directed at lilin). The onus doesn't lie chiefly on Kaworu; the altruism of Kaworu doesn't make the relationship imperfect. His misinterpretation of what made Shinji happy is where the flaw lies on Kaworu's end. Shinji's idealism (which turns into a veneer of contempt when challenged) makes the problems within the relationship come from two parties. When analyzing flaws within their relationship, one must understand that the responsibilities lie on both.

Kaworu is implied to be suicidal in drafts, remarking with something like 'living is painful.' toward the end of ep.24's draft.

#neon genesis evangelion #kaworu #kawoshin #shinji #suicide mention #self harm #correct me if i'm wrong #full disclosure but i feel offput with the implication of ppl with suicidal thoughts being 'unaware' of how their death effects others #which leads to the bad faith argument that suicide is inherently selfish - which does nothing beneficial for those who need support

who else up feeling the soul-numbing empty hopelessness for absolutely no reason this friday night

#literally nothing bad even happened to me personally today cannot emphasize this enough #i just read one too many of the Wrong wikipedia articles during the period after the sun went down at fucking 4 pm or whatever and then #my brain just decided it was time to replay the biggest hits of the great 2020-2022 depressive episode for fun i guess #and now i’m having. a series of moments. over a series of ridiculous things #again not even specific things that have actually happened to me just the whole vague existential dread deal i guess #truly i haven’t felt this shitty without some kind of direct cause for a year and half at this point #which is having the semi-beneficial side effect of reminding me to appreciate just how good my mental health has been recently #like. remember how i used to just feel like this all the time for. actually most of my life Until a year and a half ago? damn that’s crazy #i hope i snap out of this lmao i really cannot deal with walking into the holidays as a hollow shell of a person #but i think i’ll be fine tomorrow actually pretty sure i’m just kind of sleep deprived after this week #caseyposting

If the Dalatrass wanted me to see her side...MAYBE she should have considered being diplomatic??? instead of throwing racist insults around??

#mass effect #mass effect 3 #FUCK her honestly #she drives me nuts #theres MAYBE potential for seeing her side if she would make an argument for why its actually beneficial but all she does is bitch #about stuff thats already proven wrong! wrex is rhe opposite of everything she says! #maybe its more palatable if wreav is in charge? ive never done that playthrough i won't kill my boy wrex

I listened to BTAA and am relistening to ROGUES..... help girl I've fallen for the DC trap yet again

Some ppl and I were joking about Scarecrow iterations aligning with the magnus archives' 15 fears and I ended up turning my take on The Dark into a full guy <3 I've got some explorative doodles and a quick lil portrait I made

He doesn't have an actual costume bc he's always cloaked in shadow and has no need for it. His ultimate plan is to trap Gotham in eternal night and flood it with fear toxin -- his mix in particular blocks all sensory input, then causes panic and auditory/olfactory/tactile hallucinations. Victims are prone to tearing themselves apart, since they can't register any pain. Also if you cross him you will have your eyes stolen <3

#my art #scarecrow #jonathan crane #he has a slight immunity to his own toxin but not full. the gas mask was part of his earlier days so he wouldn't breathe too much in #but as he built up a resistance he found it beneficial to have a low level in his system #bc the adrenaline rush helps him when he gets into scraps and he can push himself to ridiculous lengths when he can't feel pain #but he can't have Too much or he can't hear. the toxin doesnt effect sight at all btw he blocks victims' sight manually #usually by attacking them somewhere pitch black but sometimes with the good ol fashioned Loss Of Eye Privileges #oc: shadow jon #<- adding a tag bc I now have more than One Entire Post of him

Last paper I was going to read has been read... it was the most interesting to me. It was about low-head dam removal and it's effects on the community make up of the fish populations in those streams. It was not a study performed by the guy I am talking to tomorrow, it was actually a grad thesis by a student that worked with him in the aquatic sciences center. Now I just have to figure out the answers to a couple questions I was recommended to have answers to because they seem likely to be asked.

#I still don't have any good questions to ask him though *sobbing* #I have questions about like the timing of the research because mostly everything I saw was longer than a grad degree will take #I want to know how they pick their research projects because there are so many things that could be researched #but otherwise its just statements #I want to learn fish dissection and identification. I want to learn how to use R. I want to refresh/understand statistics #I was most interested in the studies that were done on things like the dam-removal effect and riparian vs agriculture streams #the studies on fish population demographics were interesting and important but didn't quite capture me the same way #I guess I can just say that these were the things I found interesting and would like to study and be involved in #but that because I don't have much (any) experience creating my own experiments #or with aquatic ecosystems I am not really sure what a good research question would be but that I want to learn #..... I don't know if that's great though because it might just make me seem inexperienced #in a way that would not be beneficial to a lab. like that I wouldn't be bringing anything to the table #but on the other hand if you are expecting a brand new grad student to have all the answers what are you doing #but also I have been out of school and been working for 4 years so I should be more mature and have a better grasp of science #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA JUST WHAT IF IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH #i am so stressed

I've said this before, but maybe if I change how I say it more people might like it. Games!Ned does have a personality.

But he does suffer from something that affects a lot of characters throughout the games, especially in the later ones. Lazy writing.

Really Frank and Joe actually suffer from this too. I don't remember enough about Bess and George in the later games to say this totally applies to them as well.

Anyway, I was talking about this with some other people in the fandom a while back but I just remembered to make a post about it. Something that all three of the boys suffer from is having their personalities be reliant on another character.

Joe's personality becomes HEAVILY reliant on him being Frank's kinda goofy younger brother

Ned's personality becomes HEAVILY reliant on being Nancy's boyfriend

And Frank's personality becomes HEAVILY reliant on being a tired older brother to Joe and being awkward cause he has a crush on Nancy

All of us noted that in the earlier games this really isn't the case. All three of them have fuller, independent personalities that disappeared or got weaker over time.

All of those things their personalities became reliant on are often things that fans made clear they associated with each character.

But I also don't think that it's like entirely a blinded by fanon issue. I think that HeR just got like a little lazier or whatever better/more descriptive word could apply and just focused each character on another character they're meant to be associated with.

Like it's extremely easy to focus the Hardy Boys' personalities with each other and how the other reacts to it. Frank is a tired older brother of a guy who's kinda goofy, sure. But that's not it. It's also really easy to write the main thing about the protagonists boyfriend being that he's her boyfriend and nothing more. When that's not all Ned is.

#but also all of these characters are suffering from people being blinded by fanon #nancy drew #nancy drew games #clue crew #frank hardy #joe hardy #ned nickerson #her interactive #hardy boys #bess marvin #george fayne #but also like again it is really detrimental towards Ned's character that he does not get to physically appear #I know people aren't going to like me saying that fanon isn't having an entirely beneficial effect on their characterizations #but every fandom needs that wake up call eventually

manic girlfriend & impulse control boyfriend 🥰

#I'm so fucking predictable my GM can plan for it #it's a shame our campaign got cut in half a few years back #now we have a time jump and go from pre-relationship pining to post-relationship #where Uld (boyfriend. GM's wizard character) is only alive because he got transfigured into his staff #which is his soulmate btw. (Kayle is eternally jealous.) #and Kayle (my warlock) is the only one still alive through necromatic magic. which. let me tell you. #has no beneficial effects on your mental health whatsoever. #but I guess they are still together which is kind of cool because guess WHAT not even death could do them apart #but also I'm writing the last chapters of heist au so obviously this is a love square post #miaing

Tell me who your friend is, and I'll tell you who you are. Harry has surrounded himself with these people, and he communicates with them 24/7. It's not like anyone is forcing Harry to work with them. Yes, it's frustrating to know that the person you love is friends with bad people, but it's a fact.

I mean, i don't necessarily think that Harry's situation is so black and white. Let's not forget that he was literally a small town baby when he got thrown into this mess of an industry, 16 year old is literally a child. At 21, when he was coming out of the band, having lived what felt like 5 lifetimes, I was going to my first job abroad scared shitless 😭

I just don't think we should look at his relationships with the people around him from one point of view. Most of those men were literally sent out to groom him into working with them or, as lovely Kid mentioned today, set out their eyes on him because they saw profit. He was a vulnerable kid, in a vulnerable situation, probably traumatized to a core who, I wouldn't be surprised, looked for that ounce of trust and friendship with people. I don't doubt there was some manipulation in play from those old fucks trying to befriend him, since especially, like I said, he might have been fragile. They knew very well what they were doing, pretty much backing Harry into a corner professionally and personally and crowding him from all the sides.

Now, why Harry let that happen, I don't know but I feel sorry for him, because with so many ties to those greedy assholes it will be hard to get out. I just think it's complicated, and Harry being this kind person may not be realizing that his supposed friends might not actually have his best interest at heart. And if he does - it's incredibly hard to get over being backstabbed, betrayed and then the grief that comes with it. I just hope one day he realizes that he deserves so much better than to serve as a cash cow for all these people who see him as dollar bills first.

#ask #anonymous #hs #i also don't want to victimize harry completely #i am sure being in the industry and among these wealthy white men had its effect on him #but i just don't believe when it comes to this topic #that his friends have completely well intentions #i think that even his closet is beneficial for them #and for me this is the biggest sign of how superficial those friendships are #if i were his friend - his manager - whose dad has ties everywhere in the industry #i would do everything to get him out of this situation or at least try to avoid #putting any additional pressures on him #meanwhile jeff worked very hard for the past 7 years to put him deeper into the closet #fuck jeff #fuck hshq

[genius-built-donatello]

…Hm. I have perhaps made a bad first impression on that slightly younger Donatello.

#genius speaks [original post] #Now. I’m not saying I regret it. I was still very much justified in my reaction. #However. This has definitely closed the metaphorical door to new information about the timelines #And I would REALLY prefer to find out more about whatever’s going on with that. #So maybe. Just maybe. I should perhaps… Sigh. Apologise. Or something of equal effect. #Also! It would be very beneficial to be in continuous contact with a Donatello who is also currently in the apocalypse.

[dorian-gray]

and u have been perfect as well madame, I mean it without my layer of cartoonish flattery this time. thanks for hearing out my unhinged train of thought I guess... talking with u today has helped reconcile with difficult things too 🩷

You’re very strong, love xx

#[ooc - Wotton’s effect on Dorian is based off how I felt about my abuser for a very long time. and sometimes still today #your little messages today have been quite beneficial for me as well <3 #whatever you’ve been through #I second Dorian rn #you’re very strong]

DO THEY KNOW THEY BRING SHAME ON THEIR CLAN!?"

almost no one that admires jane seymour ever has an actual answer as to why, atp it’s almost...funny?

#scrolling instagram...bored. #'i like her BECAUSE we know so little about her' yeah that's not an actual reason...? #and is as point of fact actually rather damning #you 'like' her because you can project whatever motivations/traits etc you want onto her depending on what hill you're dying on #of the moment...? like ok? #'she was a bad bitch controlling the situation and you're just jealous' vs 'how dare you say there is anything morally ambiguous about #being the successor of a murdered woman she was a HELPLESS VICTIM and DIDN'T HAVE A CHOICE ' #or. ' i like her BECAUSE she was ineffectual ' ummm. alright? #if women effectively wielding power makes you uncomfortable and them failing at it makes them acceptable to you then that. is . also weird #addition: i read a book about her recently i actually liked #my major criticism of it would be why it began may 20 1536 tho... #it's first POV so it deals with her guilt in the months preceding anne's death #but because that part is absent we can't really feel the weight of the guilt as the reader #the narrative posits that it was encouraged by her brothers and they told her that the king would arrange a beneficial marriage for her #if she 'played along' but absent of it is her encouragement of the idea his own marriage was invalid etc #which granted is someting AB credibly had to have engaged in as well #but my major issue with most novels centered on jane is that the narrative never handles/ acknowledges #that... #explicitly nor even tacitly #that her likely disdian for her predecessor was essentially hypocrisy #there is a disingenousness is not acknowledging. the implicit disingenous nature of jane seymour #even if it was insofar as mainly deceiving herself #(tbf. the author did deal with that rather skillfully in other respects. just not this one)

[lokh]

ok. the other problem i have is that i simply do not have the brain for combos

#arguably its not about using ur brain its about muscle memory i guess. but Whatever #if it needs more than like 3 moves my brain simply shuts down LMAO #another argument u could make (off the top of my head coming from someone that doesnt actually know fighting game mechanics well) #is that u dont need to have Set combos memorised #but if ur familiar with the moves and know how they lead into each other then thats actually more beneficial cos u can adapt on the fly #except again. that requires reaction. and frankly . i cant do that shfdghdfg #like effective players can put on the Pressure........................... and unfortunately that does appear to require. combo knowledge #basically im fucked ahfshgfdg thats ok i can enjoy this game offline #EXCEPT im locked in survival mode im on stage 20 and just want to die but the level they must be on is too easy to beat #with testament. i know i can just quit but.... i wanna see how far i can go ;_;

About to segment my entire life into a task and reward system where I earn points for doing certain tasks and I can exchange my points for rewards or "prizes"

#eden speaks #im essentially turning my life into a game lmao #i have adhd and autism so i feel like this kind of system will be very beneficial to me #i already thrive off of routine but my routine isnt particularly... effective #so id like to change that!! #i want to start being healthier and cleaning moee and taking care of myself and other things in my life #eating consistent meals and drinking water consistently #i do understand that the rewards that i give myself are things that i could just... do without doing the tasks #but i really like the idea of earning things but on my own terms; turning things into a little game
