Commission by @lafirechicken! Kiriona design by @nil-elk, specifically from this absolutely spectacular Kiriona piece

“Good,” said someone, so savagely that it sounded like a new voice altogether. “Good. Die. Die for her … it’s the only goddamn good you’ll ever do her. It’s all any of you ever knew how to give her. You could have lived for her … but you didn’t know how.“

~ Nona the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir

“Don't say that you'll always love me

'Cause you know I'd bleed myself dry for you over and over again.”

~Doomsday, Lizzy McAlpine

Suffering through exam phase right now so please expect this space to be very inactive in the next few weeks but before I go I’m making you all suffer with me by finally posting the art I commissioned of what’s maybe the most angsty Kiriona scene in all of NtN…

Something something the girl who gave her heart and life for Harrow and just offered to do it all over again yelling about how “it’s the only goddamn good you’ll ever do her” with her wounds exposed while covered in Harrow’s blood… I’m in agony

Someone please give this poor girl a hug (and preferably lots of therapy)

i can only speak from my own professional experience but literally where are these children who only say 'unalive' instead of 'kill'. i work with children ages 6-15 five days a week and i have literally never had a single child say that word. where are you finding these kids.

#if any of my peers who have experience working with kids DO notice this happening in ways that seem excessive i'd love to know #but so far its felt like an issue that gets yelled about a lot online with very little demonstrated offline reality

🔥 something you really want to talk about

I don't think Sera is evil.

I've seen some takes where some people genuinely believe that she is and I'm just like 🤨

At best, she's morally grey and before anyone comes for me I'm not excusing any of her actions. Yes, she agreed to the Exterminations. But she believes she was doing the right thing and also had been shown to feel GUILT over it.

I agree that she does need to be called out for her actions and I fully believe that she can change her views and mindset. At least, I think that's what the show is setting her up for. But it will take time.

#OOC #❖ɪɴꜱɪᴅᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ᴅᴇᴍᴏɴ ɪꜱ ᴀ ʟᴏꜱᴛ ᴄᴀᴜꜱᴇ: ᴀꜱᴋꜱ #like yeah she's incredibly flawed but calling her flat out evil seems a little excessive to me #anonymous

Jesus Christ Yoshiki. How many books can one child have? it’s like a library back there…

#Who funds this? Yoshiki? He doesn’t have a job #(…that we know of.)#His parents? We don’t see his dad and his mom wouldn’t even help Kaoru with her yukata #His mysterious watermelon-bearing relatives? But this seems excessive for how little of a relationship they seem to have #And 11 of those are just the first volume of mxm so like how many more are repeats?#Maybe Yoshiki is trying to have a monopoly on all the literature in the entire fucking town #Turn profit by forcing people to rent from him if they want to read #Bring a whole new meaning to alphabet mafia #hikaru ga shinda natsu #the summer hikaru died #hgsn #my hgsn shit

it’s the way Ryan Gosling plays Ken’s feelings for Barbie for me. because the feelings are unreal and fake in the way of a doll but they’re also intensely real in the way of his actual personality/who he actually is.

#it’s the way he looks at her sometimes when she isn’t looking at him #and it’s just full of intense longing and vulnerability #so it’s that combination that I love SO much #which is over-the-top cartoonish-ness that’s full of PERSONALITY and excess and conviction #and then this core of -well I already said it but INTENSE vulnerability #it’s Michael Scott in love with Holly. It’s Schmidt in love with Cece #and the way Ryan plays it is even more so because he’s a doll and of course in a real way his love for her is not a real thing #BUT IN AN EVEN REALER WAY——#To paraphrase Michael Scott (!!!!!)#it’s the realest thing anyone in Barbieland has ever known (to paraphrase Taylor)!#like he’s the only one trying to do anything real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#and so for me my Barbie takes are all secondhand #because the story they’re telling has some narrative cracks and weaknesses in it #but also I kind of don’t care because they’re not focusing on the story that is the most interesting to me personally #which is this hilarious icon of a cartoon man who is—somewhere in the depths of his little plastic Ken heart—really in love #and I know it seems like I’m just repeating and twisting what the movie DOES say. that he’s in love but it’s fake and he has to get over it #to be his own person #but that’s only the one layer for me!!!!!!#and it’s a true one. I actually love his existential crisis and the moment where he’s forced to be his own person (doll)#and that’s the best thing Barbie could do for him in that moment #but it only addresses part of the situation —the part of his feelings that are fake. it doesn’t actually see or do anything #with the real love that’s also somehow by the magic of personality there #And it pretends it isn’t. BUT IT IS ALSKKSKSJEJJE #like I’m SORRY but he is just an absolute magnet for her and he’s so deeply responsive to her presence underneath all of the exaggeration #it’s in his eyes it’s in his voice!!!!! like. Sorry I know love when I see it akskksksksksjsj #and yeah that love is very decidedly not in her character and at this stage that made sense for it not to be #because of her journey to humanity etc. but I wanted them to do something with that real love in Ken and they don’t even see it #which is OKAY because tbh I’m mostly just delighted that it’s THERE #but yeah. That’s the most interesting part of the movie to me #how could it not be

For as much as I too have a liking for the aesthetic/erotic appeal of fictional men looking exhausted, agonized, and generally miserable, there's still something that occasionally rubs me strangely about the way that we collectively salivate over Viktor's physical deterioration in acts 2 and 3 -- as if we're paying cursory lip service to the gravity of his terminal illness, increasingly debilitating physical disability, and so forth, while simultaneously sighing dreamily over the exact physical characteristics which serve as the measuring sticks of just how harshly his illness is ravaging him.

It's hard to look at the collective response to Viktor's decline and not be explicitly reminded of how the outward effects of literal tuberculosis -- (emaciation + wasting of the body, chronic cough, ghostly skin, slumped posture, fever-bright eyes, etc.) -- were broadly romanticized as fashionable and alluring in the 18th and 19th centuries, "as if delicacy and a tenuous grasp on life made [the afflicted] all the more appealing". These consumptive traits, while once associated significantly with the sensitive, whimsical genius of the creative mind, were increasingly entwined with distinctly feminine ideals of beauty, which at the time orbited heavily upon the axis of 'virtues' such as fragility, dependency, and weakness. So, I can't help but hesitate sometimes at the nigh gleeful rhapsodizing over the visible consumption of a disabled man by his illness, most particularly given the oft-unsung and very specific history that disabled men have of being treated as emasculated, unsexed, fundamentally Othered entities unfit to be acknowledged or perceived as beings with sensual/erotic abilities and desires, while simultaneously being fetishized as frail, cerebral, broken creatures just waiting for someone special to ~see past~ their disability enough to love, care for, and ultimately save them. IN THIS ESSAY I WILL--

#Arcane #Viktor #Arcane meta #sponsored by excess tequila #mostly just jotting thoughts to revisit with more clarity (and sobriety) later #I am not saying that it's wrong to be attracted to Viktor; so don't even start #what I AM saying though is that fantasies which seem to hinge heavily upon the 'tragic beauty' of a disabled + terminally ill person #as if they're some kind of ~ailing little flower whose delicacy and struggle makes them all the more achingly beautiful as they wilt~#are worth scrutinizing for unconscious and unintended ableism

Sometimes, I do think about using twitch to livestream my game sessions. I won't, probably, because there's a lot of work and shit involved, and I already can't remember how to make OBS work. Mostly, I think about it because my mom enjoys watching as I play more than playing, herself, and we can come up with some really dumb/bad/enjoyable-to-us running jokes, but also to just be observed in my natural state of "?????", like Adventures of a Dumbass, or something.

For instance: my Stardew Valley museum collection had been driving me berserk. Under my character's information, my collections of artifacts and minerals WERE COMPLETE... except for the lemon stone. Shit. Back to the bottom of the mines for magma geodes. After cracking open a few, huzzah, lemon stone!

I took it to the museum. I donated it. Nothing happened. Not even a basic reward. Shouldn't... shouldn't something happen, for finding ALL of the specimens? My UI says I did! There is, however, no way in-game to ascertain what is missing. You can't even check it on the perfection tracker in the island coconut room.

Maybe it's the prismatic shard? I only had the one to upgrade my sword at first, but I have a few more on reserve now. I'll just take one of those! I did. Nothing happened.

I go to the wiki. I should get a crystalarium, a stardrop, and an achievement for a complete museum. I know I have not received the latter two yet. I compare a screenshot of a completed museum to a screenshot of mine. The most frustrating Spot The Differences I've ever played begins. I. Cannot. Find. What's. Missing.

Until suddenly, I could. THREE things?! Yes! The number of open spaces on my displays confirms it! AND GUESS WHAT THEY WERE.

A diamond. An emerald. An amethyst. Utter basic bitch minerals. That I had been hoarding back in the early game for gifting and crafting, and just because Minecraft has trained me to hoard diamonds in general, and I just... never went back to donate one later.

I AM IN SUMMER OF YEAR TWELVE.

Anyway, Safay's museum is finished.

#stardew valley #swearing #a lot of it as i was playing #long post #i'm taking a very slow approach to perfection in Safay's save #to keep having non-routine things to do for a while yet #and still #twelve in-game years to remember to drop off some of the most prevalent gemstones #seems a little excessive #oh god i'm not looking forward to the radioactive ore and bar

“Why can’t my kid go on that part of the ride it’s literally no different from the rest” cause I said so and im in charge here so stop being a dick about it and also theme park rides have loads and loads of stupid insurance rules. Two parts of the ride may be identical except on one part under 16s are insured if something goes wrong and on the other part they can’t and if your kid loses a limb on this part of the ride the park is fucked

#if you’ve ever wondered why height rules seem excessive #and that people much shorter than the limit would realistically be safe #this is why. they’ll only be able to get insurance for a height that’s a little over the safe limit. just to make sure #if adults can’t go on that’s also why #if a kid can go on but needs an adult that’s why

killing biting maiming etc.

#father i cannot tell you how much i do not care about your opinions on what i’m eating #was filling up raspberries with honey and he looks over with disdain all over his face and goes ‘that seems a little excessive #just stared at him for like 30 seconds then said ‘i’m not taking nutritional advice from the man who is going to eat a mcdonald’s mcmuffin #every morning for the rest of his life’#eat whatever you want i don’t care. don’t make your kid with an eating disorder feel bad about fucking honey and raspberries

Had an unhinged brainwave about Crosshair and the longnecks earlier so thought I'd post it here too
