WHAT IF I WANT YOU TO ASPIRE TO GREATER HEIGHTS #but nah im happy as long as its in the points but....id be happier if it was top 3- #nah bcs he had me getting excited over a p5 the other race #but honestly very nice and comforting to see him so happy all the time #also god im so tired and its so late and i still feel ill so the cuteness aggression hes giving me is insane #f1 #formula 1 #fernando alonso #we do a little bit of f1 #2024 chinese gp

very unpopular trigun fandom opinion but. i really Don’t like when people write/draw wolfwood as being genuinely religious. like wearing rosary and praying every night and saying grace before eating and shit. HE SHOOTS PEOPLE AND KILLS THEM and smokes and drinks and curses and wears his collar as wide open as possible and is a Literal Hitman who was kidnapped by a religious cult as a child. do you guys sincerely believe he’s a good christian boy or something

#like he has an Extremely complicated relationship with religion #we do see him turn to god multiple times in trimax so i think he does believe in god to an extent #and of course the official cross choker art #but. that’s pretty much as far as his faith goes. and i feel like. idk the Point of his character is a walking contradiction #he’s a ‘priest’ but he wears his collar open to show off his chest and yknow Literally Kills People #and it’s hard to imagine he would think of religion as anything but both a mental and literal physical burden on him #but he also does manage to find his own kind of ‘religion’ in both vash and the orphanage. similar to how vash doesn’t believe in god but #more so in humans and their ability to do good. well anyway #talking #trigun #trimax #(disclaimer i have not watched tri98 so i’m saying all this in terms of trimax characterization)

I have one more thing I want to work on before I get back into updating 2AL regularly, but until then......

#I was going to do a poptart mindscape introduction comic next but like #idk how necessary that is??? #I am assuming by this point we all know how the mindscape works right? #> can share memories #> can manipulate what you look like #> and can manipulate surroundings/summon whatever you want at will #I am assuming we know these things????? yeah? #2 arms left #and like! ah #gosh that animation project is scary #the last 2 options are build up comics for it that I am *probably* going to have to make at some point anyways #another part of me entirely is debating scrapping the animation project and just doing that update in comic form instead of animated form #YKNOW LIKE A NORMAL PERSON #idk #rambling #I am at a really weird part of the storyline for 2al where I know what happens next #but its going to be hard to visualize it? if that makes sense? #what do you MEAN these story points cant just get #beamed out of my head and into everyone elses heads #anyways hello thanks for reading this far into the tags #augh ive been very busy! #to whatever wins this poll I may not get to it till the end of the month #or after since the rest of this month is going to be pretty stressful #this is also assuming the animation option doesnt win #I dont know how long thats going to take me...... #assuming I even have the guts to finish it

good morning. neuvillette with a dragon!child!reader who, once everything blows over in fontaine, goes to find furina and gives her the biggest hug. they've known her for a very long time. and many times, perhaps she almost, almost cracked to them... but her resolve stood strong every time, and she would backtrack with a laugh and some dramatic flair.

while they can't understand how badly she must have suffered, because they aren't human and their mind is not so fragile, they can at least imagine it. and they can't help but think that maybe she doesn't want to be alone right now; she's been alone for five hundred years. if she wants to be left alone... that's fine, and they know she'll tell them that, but at the very least, as one of her best friends (perhaps her very best one), should they not go check on her?

idk i'm going to play her story quest today probably so i will return with more thoughts!

#aphelion speaks 🌸 #this post is not about neuvi i am sorry for leading you all on like that 🙏🙏🙏 /lh #EVERYONE. GO APOLOGIZE TO FURINA. RIGJT FUCKING NOW. APOLOGIZE TO HER. #LIKE. HOLY SHIT. #i felt so bad for her that i almost CRIED and i am not even exaggerating #i know we are all so enamored by neuvillette and how he genuinely loves the people of fontaine #but can we PLEASE take a moment to talk about *furina* and her love for her people? #because holy shit. holy shit dude. #she must have been so so so lonely for so long #but she KEPT ON. RELENTLESSLY. FOR FIVE HUNDRED YEARS. #yknow #i know the whole point was to destroy the throne and the position of “archon” #but.... man. furina is fontaine's archon and she always was. as far as i'm concerned. #she persevered out of love for those like her and even went as far as to relentlessly + #+ do her own research into what was causing the disaster #she tried so hard. and fucking NO ONE apologized to her yet. #FURINA LIKER AND DEFENDER APHELION REAL 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

really weird thing ive noticed lately re: hermits getting critiqued for stuff theyve said or done is that as soon as someone holds a shit opinion (even if it's just them being stupid, or a centrist, or saying a bad word without knowing what it means, or whatever) people immediately seem to flock to the 'this guy should die' 'kys' 'why are we giving this person a platform' rhetoric and like. that's not how meaningful change is made?

like, yeah, if one of my beloved CCs posted a tweet or video tomorrow about how much they hate gay people, or believe in conservative ideals, or they just said a bunch of slurs or whatever (these are hyperbolic examples obviously) then yeah, fuck them, they should go rot. but like, having some dumb takes, or saying bad things in the past, doesn't = evil terrible person...

idk, i feel like we can critique content creators without getting so insane about it. like, shit, there are things some of my favourites do that i don't like, but theyre not even really worth bringing up tbh. unless its something actually important, i feel like it just creates more drama out of nothing and all these assholes come crawling out of the woodwork to tell everyone how much they hate that creator. or find their content boring anyway so clearly they have no real merit to anyone.

more of an explanation of what i mean in the tags but yeah.

#this is kind of about ppl finding out x is a centrist and... apparently that means telling him 'kys' is ok #i dont even like centrism but like... wasnt he super right wing at one point? is this not at least a mild improvement? he's just some guy #i like his content. dont care enough to get into drama about him being a 'we should all just talk it out!' kinda guy. who give a shit. #this is also kinda about doc's little rant on twt about plestine/isral (spelling to not clog tags) which was basically just - #- 'stop asking me to speak on these things 1. i could get into legal trouble 2. i stopped talking about politics years ago for good reasons #which like. isnt my favourite response to things? but i also Get It yknow? #it wasnt as big of a deal as ppl seemed to think it was #(especially since he very clearly retweeted donation post and said hes against innocent ppl dying. which is pretty clear to me.) #anyway the milder things im talking about here is like. harry potter references or mild orientalism re: 'asian-style' builds #like. i could go mad about that but i really dont give a shit #i dont #and like im a hard leftist. but i just do not care. so long as they arent a massive right winger or a creep im fine #*i say massive right winger but tbh i kind of mean right winger at all. i just dont give a shit about ccs wanting to remain more centrist #especially online. #anyway #hermitblr #hermitcraft #mcyt #discourse #ben chats shit on the internet #to clarify im not tryna say that its cool to play both sides politically but also i dont think bringing up a 4 year old post - #- to stir up drama is very genuine. looking at the notes i just see a lot of 'wow fuck this guy i hate his content anyway' and its like. ok

[trainingdummyrabbit]

"not to ocpost-" please oc post (as long as you're ok with it) i would love to learn more about holly and chun-run!! (as long as you're ok with it!!)

! oh its absolutely ok, i love being enabled ^w^ kjfngdkjf um um. this is another Entire Thing(tm) that requires Exposition(tm) so um hope youre ready to read More Paragraphs !

the short answer is

the long answer is: i went 'hey i have two* ruina-era ocs, what if i put them next to each other for fun? haha they'd hate each other ^w^' ... 'Oh God They'd HATE Each Other.' so uh, the exposition.

Holly! You've Never Met Her Before. certainly not. ttttechnically. out of narrative, Holly was originally a branch of what Cocoa's character would have been when I was first developing her. in narrative, Holly is what would have happened if they'd never been picked up by LCorp. she's... an entirely different person, basically.

in essence, if you thought the other one was unstable, Oh Boy(tm). Holly is what happens when the city Actually gets the chance to sink its claws in. it's just this time, she was far, Far less quiet about it. girlies who completely fucking failed their stat check Again. there's only so much 'keep your head down and take it' you can really handle before you're just about ready to tear a bitch apart, and well. Well! anyway.

Holly is another angle of the Human/Monster/Object tangle, in where Cocoa's development hinges on the equivalent of trying to balance several spinning plates and Fucking Up Miserably, Holly has started hurling plates directly into the audience with intent. if you will.

humans are always talking some hot shit about how high and mighty they are, the "value" that comes with just being Human, and yet their entire lives are a horrible, animalistic dance of clawing each other to shreds while hiding behind ideas and roles they themselves put into play, like it's some stupid game. that harm is just an intrinsic part of the human nature. she can't fucking stand it.

essentially, she's an odd argument between the Human and Monster corners of the tangle. not only hates the binds that the city places on them of obligation, but also the ties of human emotion-- namely guilt and connection. that endless dance. she wants nothing more than to shed these ideals completely-- unfortunately, she still intrinsically and unconsciously clings onto them, afraid to let go. a human trying to claw its way out of humanity. it doesn't matter what it takes-- she's not letting this city take her first.

...and then there's Chun-Run.

we just don't know where chun-run came from. but she sure Is, and she's Immediately going to make it a Huge Fucking Problem. being aligned with the musicians of bremen, she has.. very normal views about art, and what it means to be Alive. she's the closest thing to a human time bomb i can think of, probably.

she doesn't have much of a character... honestly kind of intentionally? her entire being is solely rooted in the present, the What Is and the What Will Be. she strives to feel what the pianist's performance invoked that day-- through any means necessary. whatever happens to Her, to anything around her-- none of it matters. first and foremost, she is a conduit. it's all secondary to that singular experience.

horrifying. painful, disgusting. striking, poignant, pungent. it makes her sick to think about, but some part of her wishes she was closer to truly Feel it. its repulsive– but she Needs to hear it again. to witness, to experience. what is it– what was it? to grasp onto an ephemeral feeling she physically cannot understand– frustrating, frustrating. but she Needs to. to make the soul sing, cry out in reverence... to call it a Song is almost insulting.

so you have the worlds most unstable walking contradiction with absolutely no outlet and an unidentified fucking thing intent on wringing some undefineable meaning from the soul through physical violence.

so like, moth meet flame.

chun-run is pretty much Instantly infatuated with holly-- but for the Entire Wrong Reasons. it's pretty much "Yeah I Could Make Her Worse." all the way down, but expressed entirely through Murder. yknow, girl things. and holly, of course, fucking hates this are you for real right now??? shut the fuck up about reaching Art through Violence there is something WRONG WITH YOU. chun is entirely convinced that she's what will harmonize closest to that sound she's chasing-- that dissatisfaction, desire, rage... it's so painfully close. and yet she refuses to acknowledge that spark! refuses to engage entirely! is it not the nature of the soul to sing? so sing girl, sing.

girlies who are trying to claw their way back to stability and girlies who want nothing more than to burn to ashes in a beautiful blaze of Being. in conclusion:

#We Have Managed A Relatively Short Post ! Yippy!!! \o/ #piktalk #pikocs #projmoon #DISCLAIMER this dynamic is very very new comparatively so theres a lot of things they just Arent Telling Me Yet but i do my best o7 #chun's mess was fucking hard bc all of her notes are entirely just her yelling abt the metaphysical Meaning in drive and [waves hand] #not even remotely comprehensible in this format but we make do. or smthn. #hollys mess is a huge fucking jumble of her lying to herself repeatedly and lashing out at anything that gives her reason to-- #and unfortunately she continues to be a fucking Freak Magnet no matter what she does <//3 alas. #who fucking knows what these motherfuckers are doing at this point. unfortunately they are now kind of inherently tied together so #yknow. oops. lol <33 #(id have drawn something more but iam very sleepy right now so mayb later <3 ok 👍)

kid kaeya sitting quietly on a pew during mass in the favonius church feeling so distinctly alienated from everyone else in there that it borders on despairing

#yknow? #what are our thoughts on how religious the ragnvindr family was btw i need to know what you think #i cant picture them going to church super often. ljke take jeans family for comparison they were definitely in there more frequently #but yknow maybe every sunday? or every special occasion. do mondstadtian holidays include mass too #unclear tbh all of the ones we know about just include day drinking and singing #but there HAS to be more solemn/serious holidays. where youre supposed to go to church #they're catholic coded after all #barbatos died in the cross for our sins etc. ok enough. can you imagine though #Is Venti/Barbatos Jesus-Coded? #this was NOT MY ORIGINAL POINT uhhhhh #yeah kaeya and the gods man. kaeya and religion #kaeyaposting #kaeya alberich #my posts #this post is projection but only mildly because kaeya has such worse relationship to going to church #like im normal about it i just remember sitting in church camp while everyone was having a Moment With God and thinking #(not feeling god's presence at all) Man ... what the hell am i doing here..

I like to hc that William has some memory issues

#not to the point where he cant remember killing the kids (though i do think aus like that can be fun) #but like. just casually #like yknow he can barely remember his childhood n its all kinda blurry #maybe he has a tendency to remember negative experiences over positive ones bc i do that #its hard to describe exactly what i imagine his memory is like but basically all you need to knoe is im lovingly giving him my own problems #and i once forgot i went to ohio #thats a whole ass state and i forgot #my memories i just thought that i was like. at a midpoint between where we live and ohio. but not actually there #even though we literally ate their awful cincinnati spaghetti/chili whatever . we got souvenir cups #also one time i forgot i have my brother an shirt of mine and then when he wore for the first time in awhile i was like #'oh hey is that a new shirt?' and he just looked at me #william afton #darlingsfnafau #i dont have a headcanons tag. i am realizing. ah

upd8.... spoilers

i will say im liking how the new crew is treating this plotpoint. also i. love women. thought i should mention that

the freaking. the lipstick color.

going from roses color to kanayas aarghh [holding head] <- victors reaction to the most basic and straightforward symbolism

but also gosh. jade bringing up how gods are treated... you see people cracking jokes about it but, obvious horrible behavior aside. shes right! none of them are really capable of making a real connection! theyre caged, trapped even, within this circle of people theyve known since they were 13. and thats kinda messed up!! a little bit!!! it sucks!!!!

btw say what you will but i missed ruby. her whimsy...

the artists have been absolutly kicking it out of the park btw! like aghhh! must stress again that i love women

#homestuck^2 #upd8 spoilers #theres an inate need for me to sympathize with jade due to just how bad its all been for her. writing wise. to even lead to this point #but kanaya has every right to be that furious. she might even be giving them too much leyway #im quite happy with how stuff is being written rn (not the plot. the plot is really sad) #i was afraid id have to drop the moment the cheating plotpoint came back but the way its being handled is #very readable. yknow? #those “were doing this cause we hate you” vibes are not here

i think this is the autism speaking but it is always very jarring to see people phrase it as "fucking up my spotify wrapped" cuz like. it is a list of the songs u played the most in a set span of time, on spotify. it accurately representing when you listened to that one song for an entire afternoon on repeat isn't a mistake. you did do that. if you want a curated list of what you listened to in a year then spotify has had that function for far longer than they've done wrapped. it's called a playlist.

#yelling at clouds #there's a degree of wanting spotify wrapped to be Presentable And Correct that just feels like. brainrot. to me #spotify wrapped isnt an instagram post it is a diary entry #if ur taking great pains to Get It Right when it's just. the act of listening to music #you uhh. im probly a stranger but i think you need to do some thinking abt ur rship with the opinions of others. and how much hold it has. #it's not that deep a lot of times ppl say this as a joke but. yknow. #jokes still come from somewhere #we all live in a hellish panopticon at this point and it is not in fact good for us

actually. Jason with lightning bolt shaved into his undercut. Piper with heart-shaped curls. Where’s Leo thematic fun hair thing. We’ve gotta complete the trio.

#pjo #hoo #leo valdez #there's probably something you could do with his hair being long-ish later in HoO #like maybe a kinda subtle fire-tone gradient? #idk. design brain is going brr right now #but also rest of brain is extremely tired #i used to draw Leo with a subtle almost heart-shaped pair of curls sticking up in one spot on his hair #but i stopped doing that cause i couldn't make it look nice and also i was including it mostly as an ironic design element #cause. yknow. [gestures to url] we all know how i feel about Leo's romance arc(s) at this point #anyways we need to think of a fun hair thing for leo

I think Cedric and Calamus should be friends and join the club of teenagers with way too much weight on their shoulders because holy shit they deserve good things.

I mean, one of those small details that I always felt were kind of sad was that line Cedric has about not knowing Calamus or Alula... which makes sense in a way, because it was the Author who knew them better. And yet both Cedric and Calamus feel close in age and have similar personalities I am genuinely surprised they weren't friends.

And now considering their circumstances... Both of them need to be the proactive sibling, ready to react to situations that are beyond what teens like them should be doing.

We... never get told what happened to Rachis, although context probably tells us he was one of the NPCs lost to the squares. But even if Calamus and Alula were not aware of that truth, they're both still functionally orphans, and Calamus has made it his responsibility to make sure Alula is okay because she is all he has left.

Cedric is one of the few people aware of being in a simulation, and this by itself is already really isolating. Cedric is also the one responsible for... pretty much ensuring that Niko made it to the city and fulfilled their mission, having to make up plans as he goes. Not to mention the knowledge that his father is gone for good now, and the grief that is tied to it.

And besides all of this, I just really think that these two are alike in personality. Both are really polite, hardworking and responsible. The only big differences are their sets of skills and that Cedric is more willing to take risks on the spot, while I feel like Calamus would be more cautious in his place.

But gosh they could be good friends.

#oneshot game #cedric #calamus #analysis #i am not the most skilled writer but boy do i wanna do something about this yknow #Something something i wonder if Rachis and the Author had a similar dynamic at some point #Oh. another aspect im considering too as a bit of a crack theory. or a way to get some conflict potential #like. we know the cedric we meet is technically a robot. #my personal take on that is that he is made from code and contains as many memories as the original cedric was able to transfer #but when it comes to have actually experienced those things... our cedric knows those are memories. but are not /his/ own. in a way. #calamus and alula have memories that were coded in them but without awareness of their situation they see all of that as real #but cedric knows he is code and thus. he has existed inside. but whatever came before was the memories he inherited but not his own actions #so he recognizes those names. but is actually not sure he really knows them the same way his memories know them #and cannot guarantee he can be the friend they have known him as. because he is who cedric was #but also his own thing #this is a mess to explain but do u see what i mean #like how real he sees himself and how real the future ahead is and who he is aaslkfja #ok im done with my break ignore this rambling. this probably makes no sense. #im just figuring out how i wanna write characters #fic: write your own path forward #< for personal organization
