#but its not in a negative sense

[ktskibkg0]

I've seen you draw yourself with Izuku a lot lately and mention him a handful of times, is he a head mate?

I'm sorry if this is a weird ask!! ;; I'm just genuinely curious!

Dwbi, it's not weird at all.

It's kind of hard to explain considering everything. While we do have an Izuku in our system, it's not the one I draw.

The one I draw was from a previous encounter that I've had attachments to, and decided to kind of immortalize him through my dumb little doodles.

I don't want to go in too much depth, but he was a total fucking sweetheart with contagious chaotic energy.

#i usually dont talk about him just because of how much depth there is #but its not in a negative sense #just super sentimental i guess lmfao #ask #bnha #mha #boku no hero academia #bakugou katsuki #my hero academia #great explosion murder god dynamight #izuku midoriya #ask blog #mha fictive #did system

Sorry but if you say you're "being realistic" or "seeing the world as it is" and then only spout of the negatives then you're not being realistic and your worldview will devour you whole. Pessimism is not realistic. There is no world void of joy and to believe that is to ignore the goodness in the world and only see things in an unrealistic, cynical perspective that is not and never will be how things are. Find some joy in the smallest of things or perish.

#Pessimism is not realism and optimism is not naiveté #Optimism is seeing the world for it's positives in spite of its negatives and striving to make more of it than just giving up #What is realistic about putting your hands up and saying the world sucks all the time??? #What is realistic about ignoring all the joy that got you here???? #Where's your wonder. Where's your sense of fucking whimsy. #Be astonished by the beauty of the world or fall to it

it's pretty funny that catholicism gets the brunt of the blame for like trauma and craziness in religion because in all honesty it's like. pretty chill. I'm generalizing here but no more than anyone else who talks about religion. like the craziness people associate with christianity is generally not coming from catholics lol. not saying there aren't bad people in the church but on the whole catholics are mostly just vibing

#molly mumbles #I'm not like. practicing bc I'm lazy and frankly God knows that #but I DID go to catholic school for 9 years and like. it was literally Fine #other than the 9th grade one I genuinely enjoyed my schools and feel I got a good education #and again like yeah this is biased by a good experience. but like so are all #the negative statements about it? #its not even 5am sorry if this doesnt make sense lol

hi i just discovered your beautiful art so i obviously needed to scroll down your whole blog to catch up on everything you posted haha

i just wanted to say that i got way too emotional after reading that post of yours regarding mw3 and your mental health… on one hand i’m so sorry that you felt that way, but on the other i feel it with my whole heart

ghoap content especially for me helped me these past few months with my mental health in ways i would never have expected, it was my solace and inspiration, i started working out too and got back into drawing, got a lot better at it as well!

but unfortunately i get way too fixated on fictional stuff and there comes a time that my brain switches up and connects the things i liked and comforted me with things that make me extremely uncomfortable and stressed out, especially if i fall down a fandom rabbit hole that i would never have searched up, beacuse i know myself, i know my limits and triggers but i feel like i’m not a part of the fandom if i don’t like and interact with every single headcanon, art and ship

these past days i was really down because of that, and the things i read (why did i do that???) and now when i think of ghoap i think of that stuff and im scared that i alienated myself from the one thing that made me happy

but discovering your art and with that your post reminded me that im not alone in these feelings, even if it’s not the same exactly, and i wanted to thank you, for sharing your thoughts that time i guess haha <33

((sorry for rambling))

Long reply under 'keep reading' !! CW: talk of triggers and MCD

Always feel free to ramble my way!!! How nice you could find some comfort in my art and ghoap stuff. Especially in my mw3 post. I've been considering deleting it a few times, but hearing it maybe helped to read in some way makes me happy I left it up.

I get where you're coming from - I very much use these fictional characters as a safe space, but ppl view them very differently. There's room for it all, "don't like, don't interact" is very much a policy I agree with. It's important to mute words and be aware of your own triggers as you browse stuff in this fandom, because there's such a wide variety of stuff out there. You do NOT have to interact and agree with every thought people have on this ship, that's impossible and super stressful. There's plenty of stuff and headcanons I don't vibe with. There are no 'requirements' that you have to meet in order to enjoy fiction.

It's part of why I enjoy ghoap - that their dynamic resonates and has sparked so much creativity and outlets for so many - but it also means there's gonna be a lot of stuff u don't necessarily agree with or feel comfortable with. For example, a lot of folks use the MCD in mw3 as a way to explore grief, which I think is really cool, but on a bad day that could potentially get my brain in a bad headspace, so I only check out that art and those fics when I feel okay. There's also a bunch of stuff I'd never want to interact with, and that’s fine !!

I'm personally quite vanilla and a sucker for exploring the softer, more domestic aspects of these characters. It's what brings me joy. I know there are parts of this fandom who don’t vibe with what I make at all, and would call it untrue to the characters. Some creators enjoy exploring the more violent or toxic sides to the source material. That's just how it is, we all need different things from fiction. As long as we're capable of chilling in our respective sandboxes, then all's good.

But if you're like me, and enjoy the softer things, then definitely be aware and careful while exploring this ship and fandom. I've seen takes on these characters that are so far removed from how I view them, that they're basically the complete opposite, and it can leave a very bad taste, especially if you're the type to hinge your safe space on fiction.

Just... be mindful of yourself and your potential triggers, be respectful and don't interact with things that make you uncomfortable to the point of feeling unsafe. Shape your own online experience to your best ability.

Hope you're doing okay and still find joy in ghoap <3

#ask #anon ask #long post #mcd #mcd mention #major character death #mw3 spoilers #ish #few extra thoughts in tags: #sry it took a while to respond. i wanted to give a proper answer #hope this makes sense or helps somehow #and if interacting with this fandom continues to have a negative impact on your mental health then take a break #i understand using fiction as an outlet or safe space (i do it) but if the bad starts outweighing the good then try to distance yourself #don't dive into those rabbit holes that u know will make u feel bad #i understand the urge but its so important to protect yourself online #I’m far from an expert on this stuff so this is just my two cents #stay safe!!

Astrology Observations:

-Found a trend with Aries Moon/Venus (honorable mention Leo Mars) to be into BDSM or more rough type of sex

-People with Pisces placements in big 3 are more selfish than other placements, though people they let into their lives don’t seem to mind. Pisces in Big 3 aren’t usually shy about what they want

-Sagittarius in Big 3 always seem to have the opportunity to either travel or experience unique things with basically no cost to them. Always seeming to stem from some type of pure good luck and/or charismatic nature (them knowing someone who knew someone got them backstage/ got a job that lets them travel for free/etc)

*Bonus: Sagittarius in big 3 seem to have the ability to rub luck off onto people (whether good or bad depends on the Sag in my opinion)

#i dont mean selfish in a negative manner for pisces #i just feel they have an idea of what they want and they’ll figure out how to get it #even if its a little delusional or selfish #also i feel Sagittarius cant rub luck off on each other #like every sag has their own type of luck and other sags just cant enter that vibe #i guess if that makes sense #i do however feel like they can elevate their vibes or like balance them #astrology #leo mars #aries venus #aries moon #Sagittarius #Sagittarius moon #Sagittarius sun #pisces #pisces sun #pisces moon #astrology observations #Sagittarius rising #pisces rising

just because the meaning is different in the show doesn’t mean there’s no meaning. the writers aren’t bad at their jobs, they’re not going to shove in scenes from the books with zero reason to be there other than pandering. they just changed the meaning. i know the i will have you without your armour or i will not have you at all didn’t have the same lead up, but they didn’t leave it floundering. they gave inej a fantasy, they gave her a hope, and then they had her fight with it, had kaz fight with it, for the entire season. 

inej hallucinated a life where kaz removes her knives and his gloves, their protection, their armour, to allow themselves vulnerability with each other, to allow love and intimacy. her asking for the removal of his armour has never and will never be about touch alone - it’s a metaphor for vulnerability. and she, in that final scene, wears no knives. she speaks her heart. she allows herself to be damaged by him because she is showing a vulnerability that he, in return, can’t manage, because he is still wearing his literal and emotional gloves. 

it’s not going to have the same meaning because it literally can’t. this is a new story about the same characters, a new chronology. so instead they laid out a simpler path to give the words a new, visual meaning. she is without armour, he is not. until he is able to lower his defences for her, they cannot be together. 

#sab #sab spoilers #shadow and bone #kanej #talk #honestly like im kinda sick of only seeing negative takes about this show and this scene and stuff #like i didnt get it at first so i let myself think about what id seen #and it made sense #sometimes you have to put a little effort into a text to understand the meaning and writers EXPECT the readers to do some work #thats fine #its a loud and abrasive show doing Many Things all at once but i dont think its bad at all #and i especially dont think this scene was out of nowhere

fun fact that bc of one of their claws being Obnoxiously Fucking Huge, male fiddler crabs literally can't eat with it. Which means they spend like twice as much time eating as females, since females can shovel food into their mouth with both claws but males can only do it with one

This relates to the concept of "honest/costly signaling" in ecology, which contains the idea that traits that attract mates can be an accurate display of an individual's fitness/capability due to said trait actually having disadvantages (ex. long attractive tails in some birds making moving more difficult, large claws making it harder to eat, being brightly colored making you more visible to predators, etc). The idea being that if certain attractive traits are actually disadvantageous, then an organism thriving and being overall healthy despite said traits is evidence that said organism is Good At Surviving, and therefore a good potential mate.

So while bigger claws do have the benefit of giving a male fiddler crab an edge in fights with other males, which play a big role in female mate choice, a male being healthy while having his bigass claw in the first place also serves as indirect proof that he's good at successfully obtaining enough food to survive

but like. look at this dude. he can't eat with that thing. he's got one functional food shovel bc the women think him having a one-purpose bigass muscle arm is Good Baby Material. and they're not even technically wrong

#crabs #ecology #nature #also this is part of why the common perception of ''evolution has to be strictly beneficial'' is wrong #evolution tends toward 'beneficial' but its more like. beneficial in the sense that it helps you get laid rather than helps you objectively #negative or dubiously helpful traits can get selected for if they help you mate #in some cases a problematic trait can actually show fitness in other areas and therefore get selected for #even a net negative can get populous if it doesn't kill you before you can mate #which is how you get stuff like that one extinct boar species whose tusks literally bored into their brains #also fiddler crabs are fun to watch then they do their little arm waving displays

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

lilia is amazing humans took loved ones from him multiple times and he still chooses to love them

this is the type of shit that joker-fies characters and hes like nah i love my son and i would love for fae and humans to live among each other in peace

#ugh how HOW #theres ppl like this in real life u know #thats amazing!? #shit happens and im like “...i think im done here dont talk to me ever again.” #lilia vanrouge #twisted wonderland #god im not done yet catching up #but im guessing the knight of the dawn and raising silver really had an affect on his view of humans #...and then im sure with all his traveling that also had an affect #but even then #u think that would only really make him indifferent #its so easy to get caught up in negative feelings #but nah he seems to really like humans lol #ig his age would also be a factor #he has had a lot of time to process and mourn im sure #silver being the way he is makes more sense now lol

It’s funny to me because 90% of the criticisms I see trying to rip apart Dream’s video are just like “well this one piece of evidence he showed isn’t the strongest” like yeah girl it’s not, that’s why it’s accompanied by 12 other much stronger pieces of evidence that you’re deliberately choosing to ignore . Wonder why that is.

Like they all blindly believed the allegations no questions asked but then perform mental gymnastics to come up with the dumbest things imaginable to say about Dream’s evidence. It’d actually be less annoying if they weren’t doing such a bad job at trying to rip Dream’s video to shreds too bc some of the things I’ve seen ppl say are so fucking 💀 like you guys aren’t even TRYING

#‘the snap video opens on its own bc it’s a scree recording’ is one I saw on IG #dumbass why would they bother using a second phone to record it if it was a screen recording WHAT #that dosent even make sense the whole point of the second phone is to make it look like they’re actually opening the snap #where’s that quote about how winning an argument against a smart person is hard #but winning an argument against a stupid person is impossible #look some of them don’t even bothering directly questioning dreams evidence too they just say something about how he included other #controversies so that makes it bad. or it’s too long so that makes it bad. which is so lame y’all aren’t even trying #sorry I’m just laughing at all this a little like it’s becoming really really really obvious how fucking rotted their brains are #drituation #negativity #.___.

I’ve gone through like 3 iterations of this post but I was watching qsmp all day from Fit’s stream to the end of Foolish on qsmp and it was upsetting despite all it’s funny moments.

Because it sucks that the ccs never include Foolish in relevant lore/rp information sharing. What I mean is that an entire group of ccs will have an entire hour or more of rp/lore talk or activities, then start to chill a bit which is when Foolish usually ends up logging on and they don’t talk to him about it at all. Even if they all agree that there is a certain piece of information that they should let everyone know about. It sucks even more when one or more ccs will tell other ccs who weren’t on at the time the info they discussed while Foolish is online. Worse part is that Foolish will often have some information that they want/need and that this entire situation has happened so many times before today.

And I don’t think I’m wrong in saying that it’s because they don’t respect Foolish enough to let him break from the “silly goofy guy” character they stick to him. He has good serious lore, he’s shown himself to be serious in front of all of them multiple times and he’s done the one thing all of them haven’t which is successfully infiltrate and genuinely become one of the fed which gives him more information then all of them.

You can try to chalk it up to their character not trusting Foolish, yet there is always someone they tell who they should or do trust way less then Foolish. Even to say it’s about the Tazercraft arrest is crazy too, because they forgave him for that and it was months ago. Or even that someone they tell will pass the info along, which is arguably worse because they don’t know they will and why should he always be getting info from a second hand source, when he was right in front of them minutes ago.

It just shows more clearly in the way they treat Leo too, since they will never let her be her own person and not an extension of Foolish. I think they definitely respect him as a person but I think they just don’t respect him as someone able to do good character lore/rp. Which is bullshit because half of them watched him basically killing it and saving the day on OPQ. It just genuinely sucks because it feels like it’s been months now of people just pushing Foolish to the side when it comes to Lore/rp discussions.

And it never makes sense, they say let all the single parents know ____ yet Foolish never knows or ask everyone about the Fed workers and Cucurucho yet Foolish is never asked. It’s not even that he doesn’t help because he does when it really counts. But even more shit like that excludes him and it never makes sense because Foolish is a very active player and he talks to everybody.

Along with all this, this is all part of the reason no one ever gets info from Foolish, they either never ask him, never take him seriously or claim he doesn’t have proof. You could say that oh he should be telling them the info anyway, but like they none of them go screaming somewhat private information the moment they find out(especially Cellbit who they trusted so much to figure out the island/fed) so why should he be screaming private info from the top of his lungs?

It really is just why at this point? Why doesn’t Foolish get to know information that might save Leo? Why doesn’t Foolish get to help the team? Why won’t they let him help the team? Why don’t they ask him about important lore/rp topics? Why do they assume he’s not going to help? Why don’t they let him break from this stereotype that they’ve stuck to him? Why don’t they ever take him seriously?

#its just so tiring to watch rn because never will they let Foolish have a big part in any lore discussion #they always push his thoughts to the side and if they actually spoke to him about half the shit then they might just learn a thing or two #like I just want Jaiden back because at least she would tell foolish things and listen to him #also i feel like a lot of this post i spent back and forth (idk if thats correct spelling) trying to justify what the ccs are doing but - #that just gets exhausting and always ends in it just not making sense #qsmp discourse #qsmp neg

really realizing how fucking hard my body is trying to keep me alive at every single moment & how insane it is that my brain has been trying this hard to get me to override that for ten years. billions of years of evolution led to me being alive and my body will do anything to keep itself that way. you hear about how 29 people who survived jumping from the golden gate bridge all said that they regretted it the second they jumped and like, maybe your brain is trying to kill you but at the end of the day it's part of your body and your body wants to live

#text #suicide tw #does this make sense i hope it does ive been thinkign about it a lot #im trying to be niceys to myself about my like #fucked up fight or flight circuitry and general anxiety and trauma shit bc like #that is my body doing its best and its gotten a little too scared a few too many times #but its always doing what it thinks is best #yknow? #anyway #i wish i was a lemur from 30000000bce #neg

[doodlebloo]

I'm always gonna be pissed off about Sapnap and George being so blatantly uncaring of the time and work their fellow ccs put into their lore and stories that they literally broke into a house neither of their characters should know existed and made a big deal about killing a plot important NPC for "content" even though Ranboo and Tubbo had previously requested that Michael be left alone and one of the server's literal rules was to not do anything that would seriously upset anyone.

First of all, they both know damn well they could sit and stare at a wall onstream and get tens of thousands of viewers. Threatening to kill that piglin was not necessary for them to get content, it was just mean spirited, and the onslaught of people complaining about people getting nervous or upset was so exhausting. It felt like being punished for caring about the characters and story, and Sapnap and George just kept doing shit like this over and over (didn't they release Shroud?) The DSMP's story was cool and needed to be taken seriously when THEY we're a part of it, but if it was anyone else's story, it was lame and stupid and everyone was dumb for caring about a video game mob that much. God it still makes me so mad

#and its CLEAR it wasnt to generate any meaningful content because: #although in the past dsmp conflicts have been created by someone doing something to another persons belongings and them logging in to do #something about it #ranboo and tubbo were live and were literally nowhere near a computer they were out somewhere at a festival or smth #AND again it did not make sense in the lore for them to be doing what in pore terms would be attempted child murder. so obviously #no content was gonna come of it #AND ISNT THAT CONVENIENT that they knew it would have no bearing on their characters whatsoever!!!!!!!! #so Eret saving Michael is canon but their breaking and entering and threats and shit arent. yep makes so much sense. #prev post is literally right that them pulling this shit left a huge plot hole gap in canon that just kept getting worse #not that they give a fuck!!! #neg #i guess #ok rant over sorry everyone #doodle.txt #long post
