#but didn’t want to get striked at

[off-brand-adorabbit]

Tress scratched the best itch for me, I’ve been craving a good fairy tale and it was just perfect. I kept slipping so hard into the fairy tale aspects that I kept getting caught by surprise whenever a cosmere thing stopped beating around the bush and revealed itself, actually. While I’m sure that wasn’t fully the intention, it was a really fun way to read some brandermansanderman coming fresh off of sunlit man and how intensely locked in I was with the Connections. Genuinely Tress is such a fun little romp. I love girls who sail in fucked up seas and this is a genre I want more of please thank you.

#it was so much fun I did have my suspicions about a few things because of fairy tale tropes but I didn’t get all of them! #I was taken by surprise by many things! #not...not the glowing woman being elantrian I did get that one especially with the floor map #I wonder if that changes actually #like does her cockship make aon-Connecting maps of the places she goes to so she can fuck around with locals? #what’s with space travel resulting in callus dicks manipulating the local planetary populations? #is this related to one of the many groups fucking about with the cosmere or is it just the nature of the people funding these excursions? #will zellion ever have sex? #all these questions and more to be added next year in bransandermanderson strikes again part five of ten alphabet assemble #I want to see the other seas now though ): the worlds are so cool that I’m never quite ready to say goodbye #I want to linger between the pages and sift the words between my fingers like sun-warmed sand #it feels too soon to say goodbye #cosmere #tress of the emerald sea #tress of the emerald sea spoilers

combining (one of my) favorite short story with (some of my) favorite characters ❤️

#i want sigrdrifa to show up and yennefer to be like ‘oh. hey i didn’t think we were friends’ #and the priestess turns her face towards her with molten-gold eyes and goes ‘hello yennefer’ and yen gets full body chills lol #female friendship is when [checks notes] the patron goddess of motherhood grants you her boon and shows you your imminent immense suffering #too many marriage comedies where the groom has no friends. what about the friendless bride who never got along with the rest of the girls #to be fair geralt’s party isn’t really ‘the guys’ it’s like one guy one woman one [lazy hand gesture that says ‘behold!’] #i would say ‘and the kidnapper of his daughter’ but i think cahir is in the audience for this he has like son-in-law status not groomsman #angoulême is in the audience striking up a best friendship with torque who decided to show up too #txt #f: a hansa’s a hansa #headcanons #story: something ends something begins #the witcher books #geralt of rivia #yes this is (checks timestamps) two months old but its still good #s: you’ve condemned yourself to me #and yes the vampire that yarpen throws garlic at is regis why not. or vereena if she regenerated and just wanted to show up bc #she and nivellen got back together because that dumb son of a bitch forgave her for the horrors

i think some of you need to sit down and interrogate why you dislike sabina so much because from where i’m sitting a lot of it is just thinly veiled misogyny. you don’t have to ship her with alex and you don’t have to like her but i’m so tired of people treating her as nothing more than an obstacle to their ship of choice and then trying to shift the blame onto horowitz for writing her poorly when there are literally dozens of male side characters who we know nothing about that get more fandom attention than sabina does. she’s not some evil irredeemable wench for struggling to support alex after the events of eagle strike. she’s a fifteen year old girl whose entire life was upended and has to watch someone she cares about be blackmailed into putting himself in danger again and again. if you can forgive yassen for sending alex to scorpia or k-unit for treating him like shit in brecon beacons, why can’t you forgive sabina for pulling away and trying to live a normal life. you can find her annoying or boring or pointless as a character, but alex very clearly cares about her. acting like he doesn’t says more about your attitudes towards female characters than it does horowitz’s lol

#alex rider #i’m not going to deny that she was badly written at times #especially after eagle strike #but that’s not her fault as a character. that’s on horowitz for being weird about women #the truth is that sabina is one of the only characters to point out alex’s own hypocrisy to him #she was the only person who suspected something was going on before he told her #her family literally took him in after he thought jack died #i can totally understand not shipping her with alex. #but you cannot deny that they care about each other. alex didn’t leave san francisco because he didn’t care about her #it’s not sabina’s fault that he’s traumatised and it’s not her fault for wanting to move past her own trauma #she didn’t do anything wrong. and like i’m sorry but this is anthony horowitz we’re talking about #he erased the mention of a gay couple just EXISTING in christmas at gunpoint when it got reprinted in secret weapon #i promise that even if sabina never existed yalex/tomlex/fredlex still wouldn’t be canon #she’s not getting in the way of anything. #so please stop fucking punishing her in fics where those ships DO get together #just stop punishing her in general. you dont have to write about her if you dont like her

[im-still-watching-anime]

man does anyone else just constantly forget neji died?? i was rewatching the war arc and got to it like HUH OH YEAH like i remember shikaku and inoichi more than him because i just didn’t like the writing for his and repressed it too much so now whenever i see any reference to it my brain blue screens for like 20 seconds straight

#it simply does not compute #like don’t get me wrong im into tragedy and well written character deaths ALWAYS get me #but idk i just thought neji was a poor choice if you HAD to kill one of the konoha twelve off #not that i WANTED any of them to die but i do think someone else would have been a better option #or killing off more than one would have balanced it better #and then it was also just how it was crammed between all the other big events so we had to rush past it #shout out to the fillers always knowing naruto deaths aren’t striking hard enough and giving the dead characters more significance lol #can always tell someone is about to die when the fillers start giving them all the meaningful moments rip #idk though even the folllow up grieving and references just didn’t add enough #plus how it kind of just contradicted the main goal of the series idk #i just don’t like it so my brain is just like what death??? #probably would stick better if i ever rewatched post war or if i watched boruto though #but i dont so i continue to relive the ‘wtf why :/‘ every time i remember it lol #naruto shippuden spoilers #naruto spoilers #????? #does anyone need that tag??? #idk i added it in case

sophia posting her TVA mug and the song from the episode’s end credits… disney better wrap this strike shit up soon because she clearly wants to talk about this project!!!! and she deserves to!!! she barely got to for s1!!!! disney i am inside of ur walls!!!

#It’s so unfair that last season we didn’t get her in promo because her appearance was a secret #And now we don’t get it because Hollywood refuses to pay people living wages #There are a million reasons why this strike needs to end #But let her talk about that damn show she worked on!!!! #Clearly she wants to!!!! #I don’t blame her!!!! #She devoured!!!! #Loki #loki tv #loki series #loki show #loki tv show #sylvie #sylvie laufeydottir #loki s2

I’m still not over them remaking Mewtwo Strikes Back and taking out every single iconic line the English dub added

#pokemon #mewtwo strikes back #no team rocket guessing the wrong Pokémon no meowth same stars same sky no one’s birth is irrelevant #they took all the charm and thought we wouldn’t notice #literally my favorite parts of the movie gone for the pursuit of accuracy (they still didn’t include the short film that aired before it) #(so we still didn’t get that even now when it’s what most people wanted)

Love how my choosing to see a therapist coincides with the 10 year anniversary commemorative Stucky mass hysteria event, that’s fun

#every time I bring up this unofficial tumblr celebration I’m gonna add more words to the name #ASIDE from my wanting to fuck the arm (which I’m not gonna bring up to my counselor lmao it’s irrelevant) #she was telling me: oh wow yeah that’s actually brave to strike out on your own and end up with your very own apartment & stable job etc. #I don’t see it that way??????? I don’t consider it particularly brave or tenacious it’s an obligation and I did what I needed to 💁🏻‍♀️ #and I brought up how I don’t consider myself a person more just a useful tool/someone else’s means to an end #it feels weird to do anything solely for me that’s more significant than getting something tasty to eat #also after our session I felt physically drained and emotionally wrecked for the rest of the day (a good 6 ish hours) #not even weirdly calm and empty just kind of lost and wrecked #I’ll have to tell her next time I don’t enjoy others pointing out when I’m crying #that didn’t really help my overall state #so in case there were any doubts about why I cleave to the Winter Soldier character like a limpet #oh I also said the word ‘nascent’ a bunch because I speak very precisely #no designated tag for all this just yet; we might get there so I have a chronicle #of my assorted feelings to look back on #rant in tags #personal

Venom: we’ll eat you ALIVE

Miles, meaning it as a question: he was talking to me

Peter: fuck he was, he’s actually talking to ME. go do your homework or something KID.

#peter no stop . he didn’t mean it like that he’s genuinely asking #the flat affect strikes again!!!! #miles morales #spiderman #spider man #peter parker #venom #eddie brock #idk i think it’s hilarious for like 4 seconds to imagine Peter being like ‘to make sure Miles doesn’t act on his crushes i will sleep with+ #all his adult crushes and hopefully the heartbreak prevents him from ever liking anyone again 👍🏻’ and thinking it’s like 100% the right+ #thing to do and morally sound #like yeah you’re getting rid of the crush. but it’s kinda fucked up goinf about it that way??? #peter doesn’t even like these crushes. he just doesn’t want anything to happen to miles so it’s FINE ITS ALL GOOD #also he’s dating/married to mj in almost all these instances so. wonder how she’s doing

[pogasm]

me and my irls are looking for pro palestine protests in our area ^_^

#i didn’t strike hard enough i went shopping nd i attended class on monday but i did the best i could #but i’m gnna do more #idt i’ve been doing as much as i could the entire time but now i want to #even if it isn’t much i want to try and do smth #also my colly is downtown and i’ve seen like. independent clusters of protesters but i wanna find #a larger and more organized ones #bc while their grind is respectable there just isnt enough ppl #the point of a protest is to disrupt the peace for ur cause and #5 people holding flags at a crosswalk can’t really do much disruption #i’m glad they’re there tho don’t get me wrong bc ppl will stop by and ask why they’re there nd it gives them a chance to spread their cause #they’re doing GOOD WORK but at this moment in time it just isn’t enough #with the icj rulings and everything we need to ACCELERATE resistance as much as we can. more important now than every before

Currently resisting the urge to blackmail my father into therapy

#At this point I’ve almost said “well if you don’t talk about your Jehovah’s Witness trauma with someone; I will #because yours is directly related to mine due to having vented on me about it since I was six” #I’ve almost said it ten times within the past hour #exjw #And this is the congregation he thought was our family’s eternal salvation from my apostacy. Ha! #“Jehovah is guiding us here” Jehovah didn’t do shit for you except give you PTSD-induced gout and kidney stones; come off it #Get out of her my people #I’m not even sorry for him. What the elders said to him wasn’t his fault; but he 100% got himself into this mess #for my benefit (to strike the fear of god into his disgusting homosexual sinning boygirl daughter with raging hormones) #And his homophobic rant he went on… please just call me a faggot #I’m having it out with him before I go for no other reason but my own satisfaction #ex cult #”I can’t talk to a worldly therapist because they won’t want to worship Jehovah when someone preaches to them” #Why — pray tell — will they react in that way? Because it’s a cult #Cult: spelled “C-U-L-T.” You didn’t listen to the content of my diaries (which you read against my will) and now you’re suffering #Play stupid games win stupid prizes #He’s the most traumatized out of the two of us as a direct result of him trying to “fix” me… #also because I don’t keep touching a hot stove after it burns me. JWs are a toxic cult; so I no longer believe them #My mental health is better as a result #I have worldly comfort media and I swear liberally (which is proven to soothe physical pain) #I’ve accepted myself as queer. I’ve accepted my dark tastes in music and media. #I’ve started doing something with my life to get out ASAP. #Life isn’t good but it’s gotten better once I changed my mindset and stopped being a close-minded homophobic asshole #Just because a couple gay guys were creepy towards you doesn’t mean they’re all like that #Straight guys have been creepy towards me and I never said I wished death upon all straight men #A creep is a creep is a creep; sexuality doesn’t make you a creep — being creepy makes you a creep

“If you devalue a human life you give them the right to devalue yours” bitch fuck you

#i get so sick and tired of white ppl #and don’t get me wrong I agree with the quote at face value #however white ppl only say an eye for an eye is valid when minorities are striking back #like when someone does something bigoted it’s silence #but the second we respond it’s that kindness makes the world turn bullshit #y’all never say it to them #this is about those fucking billionaires #but in general too #like y’all only preach kindness and humility when we’re angry and responding #you never tell a white racist that violence isn’t the solution #but when I think it’s appropriate to cause property damage after they’ve taken thousands of our lives #NOW we have to let bygones be bygones and forget the past #and if they respond we had it coming #but they didn’t have our response coming #how come you don’t tell them that maybe they shouldn’t be bigoted if they don’t want us to celebrate their misfortune #how come you tell us that we should expect more death and oppression for being happy something finally happened to them #like genuinely fuck you #It’s an eye for an eye AFTER the first one was taken for y’all #that whole thing where an eye for an eye makes the world go blind #that only happens bc yall let bigots come for the second eye #im rambling atp in conclusion #FUCK YALL

*taps microphone*

I would like to say something to all white women who identify as Christian & conservative in the US who are happy about Roe v Wade being overturned but haven’t realized the RNC wants to turn you all into baby making machines to preserve “white life”

#mun post #no rights? then no sex #everyone should be doing a sex strike & withdrawing all their cash from all US banks #womens rights are human rights #womens rights #roe v wade overturned #roe v Wade #and that’s my Ted Talk and why Christian Americans are hypocrites & have brought about fascism via not looking at their bible stories #critically and trusting some random person who claims to have authority all because they can stand up in front of a microphone and preach #the Bible is anti government multiple times and Jesus literally died because the government didn’t like him #white women in the us you all are in danger #with the rest of us and quite frankly some of you deserve it b u t I rather your God punish you for ignoring their word #no but seriously get life insurance some miscarriages need surgeries that fall under the abortions umbrella that are no longer accessible #oh and also Mike Pence wants to ban abortion nationally because again politicians aren’t wise men or trained in medicine and those that are #tend to avoid the RNC as a whole #and because someone is going to ask - I was forced to go to a private Catholic school in exchange for my mom needing bill money #and I came out of the experience so anti religion and anti Christianity but I fucking learned about the Bible instead of #blindly believing the guy with the most credentials because everyone has a damn bias & liars tend to become religious leaders #all religions have some kind of malice but Christianity is a legitimate cult that uses texts that are so far removed from the original #that it’s a completely different religion and US Christianity makes out with yt n4t1onal15m in the most cult like way it’s disgusting #bodily autonomy #fuck the supreme court

hiii i want to quit my job <3

#.txt #stressed. #i dont like lights and sound. i dont think that way. cannot tell the different lights apart and programming confuses me #also the catwalks in the theatre we used last sem were good and stable and not too high up so hanging lights was fine #like they're heavy as shit and i am: weak. scared of falling. not very tall. #so leaning out to focus them sucked #but it's fine! #except we're in the other theatre now. and the catwalks are fuckinf high and wobbly and i hate WALKING on them let alone carrying a light #and everything got hung for the current show but strike and on i really dont feel comfy up there #but whay the fuck else can i do #also i'm working one show that's moving into tech. and co-SMing two others this sem. and taking a full load of classes. #and originally i was only allowed 6 hrs/wk which was fine that's doable #but i guess bc i didn’t work january i get eleven now #but consider! i don't WANT eleven hours i want to QUIT #but she really wants to schedule me fridays and things keep complicating it ans i don't know how to say i don't want to work Fridays #and i HAVE to make sure she continues to like me bc shes the person to go to for SM shit. shes in charge and seemingly fickle #i'm already workinf mon-wed and one of those days i literally don't have time to get lunch so i'm not eating til 5 #but i really should push thru to the end of the year at least. i need an understanding of this facet of things. #shes put in the work to train me i shouldnt leave after one semester. #UGH #hate this im too tired for negotiations over a job i dont even want

Emitting a long and continuous high-pitched aaaaa over the fact that I just had a VIVID idea for something I want to draw

But.

I’m currently unable to get started on it. This is slaughtering me it is turning me inside out I am dying. I want this image to exist outside of my head SO BADLY but I can’t yet and now I am in pain.

Send help.

(y e s it was inspired by an Epic: the musical song leave me alone. I’ve been consumed it’s not my fault)

#the epic the musical brainrot strikes again #the song I was listening to was Full Speed Ahead specifically but the playlist has since moved on. now Polyphemus echoes through my mind. #totally gonna throw together a sketch the SECOND I get my hands on a sketchbook #although for clarity this idea is a digital painting #I just don’t want to forget #I heard ‘follow the birds- they will lead us to land- there we’ll hunt for food my second in command’ #and an image of Odysseus standing on deck looking up at some birds in the distance or something took over my vision #I WILL make this a reality don’t even test me #wait no it was ‘watch where the birds fly’ yeah that was it #epic the musical #also I am no longer ‘a’ing thanks for asking #although I suppose it was more like an ‘e’ sound #it pains me to not have access to a SINGLE piece of paper for the moment #but rest assured I’m on a mission now #still feeling slightly inside out tho :/ #wish I didn’t have to get up so early tomorrow so I could actually sit down and work on it smh

i love cyno i just wish genshin loved cyno like at all

#x #gi posting #he is so cute but like. man i wish they gave us something of substance abt his character in ANYTHING #i really enjoyed his role in the archon quest it was a good primer n going to thre character stories/voicelines and then even his own story #quest and it just being a reiteration Three Separate Times of the fact that justice is important to him is so :/ #justice can be important to him like! that’s fine! but there’s nothing abt his background or reasoning for it at all #and in the story quest i was hoping to see if there was ever gonna be a like. conflict where it demonstrated what he did when confronted w #the idea that his version of justice interfered with maybe what was more merciful/forgiving #but it just… didn’t. the story just completely ignored a possible character reckoning for him like??? 😭😭 #also thinking abt it more now i think it’s soooo wack he want back to work w the akademiya like that sucks #i think him at the very least striking out n choosing to follow his own code n delivering justice in his own way would’ve been Something at #least. admittedly a little similar to a background of that Character who must not be named 🙄 #but like idk like i get it whatever the idea he went back post sumeru climax to fix everything from the inside but like. Augh #second admittedly that i think his story quest was meant to be played between acts 4 and 5 of the archon quest bc chronologically it feels a #bit of a regression since i played it after completing the whole archon quest #that’s my fault i guess but i still think my general points stand. can we not get something to chew on please… #gonna pull a ganyu on him n just invent a bunch of backstory n character relations n motivations for him since hyvs insists on doing him #dirty…

#personal #finding out that my dad and I DID live in the same apartment just #like 20 years in between is making my heart hurt? #i have a few pictures and I didn’t get them until after I had moved into that place #and #they’re of me and him in the same fucking unti #and I kept thinking no no I’m being silly #and I was googling to make sure there wasn’t a orbitutary released and I confirmed the address #I want to scream and bang my hands on the ground until they’re bleeding #I miss him #I miss him so much some days it keeps me awake at night #I feel suffocated #and people are right #the grief will strike you at a random moment and all you can do is try to breathe
