#by observing things. ya

[mntcoronet]

*pause moment* hey why the fuck did I just realise that during high school, I felt like a fair number of my peers (from outside my friends group) treated me somewhat more "softly" or like a child than they would've done with other people. and why was that

#maggles ramblings #like idk if they were actually doing that or if that's just what i Felt was happening #but. when they'd have to talk to me for things; like short 'do this in pairs' stuff; i def felt like they treated me differently #like I'd point out something in the thing we were looking at and they'd go 'oh wow good observation!!' as if we weren't the same age #maybe they just acted differently cos they didn't wanna be doing it. which like sure. but man u could at least try to discuss the topic #or did i seem like too much of a shy little creature that only just learned human speech that they forgot i was competent enough to get A's #but hhh man idk. i never know how people perceive me that's the real issue here #i can sorta make estimations based on how they talk to me; i can tell well enough if someone just doesn't wanna keep talking to me #but that doesn't mean i can figure out WHY. but i do know that sometimes it feels like.. they pick up on something about me #like i can roughly tell whether the person talking to me still considers me Just A Normal Guy or if they've realised like 'hey... #this person doesn't quite Get It with regards to social/conversation stuff'. bc of the way they talk. but i still never know why!! #like sure every time i go have conversations with new people i feel like I'm just pretending to be A Normal Person yknow #and when other people who seem very socially competent Keep talking to me i just think oh wow you haven't figured it out yet that's wild #figured what out? idk that I'm just pretending i guess. about what? uh good question just pretending in general #pretending like i know what to say; that it feels completely Natural to talk like that; like I'm not mentally rating each of my actions #but then sometimes there's people i just feel like i don't have to do that around nearly as much. i swear i gravitate towards those ppl #but yeah it's just. it def feels like they know I'm Not Getting something when i talk to a lot of people. like they Know i missed a memo #and i don't even know what the memo is about; or whether I've gotten any of the previous memos or just absorbed the knowledge #by observing things. ya #ok im done with that train of thought i need to go and work on that au i accidentally stayed up till 2am last night thinking of ideas for

Prompt 184

“Well damn.” 

Jason wrenched his gaze from the mess of red and green spattered across the room, searching for the source of the voice. His head hurt, he wanted his Dad. He wanted Bruce. He… his head hurt. His everything hurt. 

“Honestly, didn’t expect them to find another half-breed. Didn’t think there was another halfa out there…”  

He tore his gaze away from the floor- when had it gotten there- finally finding the other… person? The person giving him an empty smile through some sort of muzzle and missing an entire arm. Well, he couldn’t judge, he’d torn his nails off while digging out of his grave before… this. 

“Hey, kid, don’t sweat it, it’ll grow back,” the man apparently noticed where he was staring, shoulder twitching as he shrugged and more green pouring out. Jason couldn’t stop staring, eyes slipping from the growing pool to the rest of the chains apparently keeping the person on that side of the… room? Cage? Cell? 

“Shit, hey, kid, kid, don’t cry, uh, fuck, shh, kid don’t cry-” the person made a noise, some sort of hum or croon that caused him to relax. To his already brain-damaged confusion. “C’mere, away from the door now, shh…” 

Oh, when had he started to move? It was like he blinked and was stumbling away towards the chained person, practically tripping over a limb before the person managed to catch him. “Ope, oh you’re just a little baby-” a hand, clawed, carefully ran through his hair, tucking him against a rumbling chest that nearly made him tear up again. He wanted Bruce. 

“It’s alright kid, shh, they won’t get you,” the man rumbled, everything about him green to his rapidly closing eyes. Pale skin like a corpse, black scales like rot, hair white like snow, all stained green with blood.  “They’d have to kill me again for that.” 

#dcxdp #dpxdc #prompts #Instead of spending 3 years with the league of assassins after digging himself out of his grave #Jason spends it in a GIW lab with an adult Danny #Danny is totally doing okay he swears #He’s FINE and definitely didn’t see the scientists Kill Vlad and Dani by taking things too far #He’s definitely Not feral and slowly losing his humanity with every piece taken away #Danny missing half his limbs and restrained but dragging himself forward: U touch my kid and I will bite your throat out ya hear #He’s not going to let them hurt this Baby Ghostling who is Sick and Hurt #There’s going to be so much Angst when Bruce finds out not only is Jason alive but he’s trapped in a lab being experimented on #Danny does his best to protect Jason but stuff happens #halfa jason todd #guys in white #Danny eventually goes from having 2 arms to 4 in those three years #His 'human' body is mutating with every “test” #Where is Clockwork? Trying his best but he can't see Danny's timelines thx to the time medallion & the Observants being Assholes #Also not helped by the many knots the speedsters have created that resulted in several timelines being completely blacked out to him

REPUBLICANS?

Yeah lol

#Have you not noticed how puritanical / conservative / and homophobic this fandom is #That wasn't a fandom specific post though. I was mostly thinking about how people claim one thing online #and live/vote totally different irl but yk? I stand by it. Now we don't have to get into politics #because we're all here for our blorbos anyway and the whole point of the observation is that people lie shamelessly #about their political affiliation to avoid any potential backlash so conversation would be pointless. #but it IS True and I Know it. ya know??? #Anyways #jack answers mail

somebody be my impulse control and tell me not to make a heritage posts blog

#alfpost #OKAY SO. context. theres two things im looking at to grab in and fill what i believe is a critical lack of something in a niche #1. the only warriors heritage posts blog i could find has like. 2 posts on it and doesnt seem active. we can do better #2. ghost trick deserves one and i cant find any which is fuckign strange considering anything made in that tag gets passed around like a #bouncy ball by everyone it looks like. kinda like how the flight rising tumblrsphere works from what ive observed #but the problem with option 1 is that. theres so many fucking warriors posts i will be Buried. and since warriors is so big #itll be hard to be recognised as any sort of 'official' (as in semi respected and not just some rando) heritage posts blog for a while #while for ghost trick since it hasnt been around in my life as long as warriors theres always the risk that i will get tired of it for at #least a little while and i wish not to keep the people in waiting if the blog goes inactive #do ya understand?

(ive been away from tumblr etc for the better part of a month, i'm not "back" quite yet, but I've spent some time "catching up" so to speak this evening and have a bit of a heavy heart.

some i already knew-- death threats, death threats and more death threats. hate mail.

my friends leaving fandoms they love. people i barely speak to burning out and needing a break from their fics and the constant/consistent stream of "update??????" and rudeness.

and i just need to say that there is an alarming pattern of bx i see, where the authors and creators that make themselves the most accessible and approachable and welcoming to their anons and their followers and readers are often the ones who get shit on first. yall take their openness as an excuse to be dicks. period. you take the people who are willing to have a convo with everyone, who make discords and mod fests, or give people chances and run them into the ground when they post something you dont agree with. the second they post something you don't agree with or write something you don't agree with. or update on a schedule that doesnt align with yours. or write a new ship that isnt part of the #brand. or whatever it might be. and you've made yourselves so comfortable with someone who is FRIENDLY online that you take it as permission to take a shit on the carpet in someone elses home.

and i understand thats a weird metaphor, but i don't much care. y'all forget these tumblrs, these works are still the creators. it is not your space. i repeat: it is not your space. and while they may be welcoming and happy to have you in it--it is still not yours.

and as someone who operates on the opposite end of the spectrum where i don't interact a lot with my readers or my anons or even my mutuals, and occasionally gets a nasty anon about this (cue the folks who @ me for not reccing their fics or doing their prompts; cue that one person who told me i was an asshole, which like, fair enough), i also want to say you can't have it both ways. you cannot be graciously invited into someone else home and then ask them to change the colors of the duvets to suit you. it is not your space.

that is all).

#cw: death threat mention #general observations on fandom culture #ya know. along with other artists stealing from artists here #this is also a trend ive noticed #you dont shit where you eat yall #if you dont like something #then move along #(also please note that i understand there is nuance in this) #(and there is a difference between 'i dont like this' and 'this is straight up WRONG') #(though tbh im not going to unpack the nuances in that on here either) #also feel like some of yall need a reminder that even if it feels like you know us...you don't #we have whole ass LIVES and things and even if we are open about facets of it online...you still dont KNOW us #and so if you're like 'well its okay for me to say it because i KNOW them #we're friends!! #no. #even my friends are not allowed to shit on my carpet or leave their shoes on #whats more my friends tell OTHER PEOPLE to take their shoes off #you know? #cool. #have a nice day. #disappearing again

Ya know, current setups are real fun, but I've been playing horse games again lately and I've noticed some things...

If Roxy were to find the horses in storage and decide to keep them as her own, her only knowledge of horses up to that point would be horse games. I'm trying to think about the other ones I've played because I can't say I ever really looked for accuracy before, but depending on the games, Roxy would have a surprisingly hard time with this.

To my memory, none of them have the saddle positioned correctly. I don't remember any that used martingales or chest plates which some of the Plex horsies have. Horse games are designed in such a way that you can visibly see where the budget and time was put in, meaning you have some games that tell you a little about what you're doing, and some that are very detailed about certain aspects of horse care, but completely fuck up the rest of it. It's fascinating to me.

If Roxy played Bella Sara for example, she would know you can't ride until you've cared for your horse, but she wouldn't know about any sports outside of show jumping. If she played Pony Friends, she would know about trail riding, that racing is a thing and that horses get sick if not cared for properly, but may not understand that you can't ride a sick horse. Sick horses aren't really relevant here, but you see my point.

Like the standard sports tend to be show jumping, cross country and the chronically under-explained dressage games. They also all have a mechanic for brushing the horse and cleaning the hooves out, with most of them having you clean out the stable too. BUT none of them are consistent outside of that. So even if she played a bunch of them, she's not going to know what she's doing at all

Brushing and combing is straight forward enough. There's a method to doing hooves and stuff she'd not know but if she can figure out how to lift their foot up, she'll be fine. She may also know about leg wraps from some games and would find it pretty easy to do simple hairstyles with them, though the tail would be a bit harder.

But that saddle is not staying on that horse. She may get a basic bridle right but probably doesn't know what the bit is. The horses are literally built to help in teaching this stuff and they're struggling trying to find ways to help her but they're fucking horses man. What are they gonna do? All they can do is kinda give her a nudge, make loud noises, move out the way, steal shit and bite her. The Minis are trying to help but they also don't know what they're doing at all so that's not working either

The absolute relief when Roxy finds Foxy's bird and reactivates her. They've never been so excited to see a duck before. Things get easier at least, but lack of information is only part of the issue for Roxy so uhh... Yeah it's not the biggest improvement ever, but hey! At least the saddle's staying on this time!

#this was just an observation from the games I've been playing #got me thinking about it ya know? #i could ramble all day about my horse games and the choices made in their development #since i decided to go back and look at them again a while ago as an adult they've really fascinated me #like... why are they like this? i have theories #but this is a fnaf blog so any rambling about horse games is staying off it #unless someone wants me to for some reason?? #but yeah roxy would struggle for so many different reasons here #i want to illustrate these problems somehow i just haven't figured out how #a fic maybe? or a comic of sorts? i dunno #but the horses are the perfect topic to show both roxys curious nature and her more... #hmmm i guess violent? aggressive? short tempered??? not sure on that one but it shows things along those lines too #what happens when she's happy and living her best life and what happens when her trust is broken and loyalty is tested #this has nothing to do with the horsies themselves but they are at the heart of it #anyway i was gonna save this for tomorrow but eh the horsies get a free pass #horsies are exempt from everything ever this is the law

[fantastic-nonsense]

gonna be honest, as soon as I realized that the whole SoC duology took place over 2 months and Nina was 17, I instantly became okay with Nina moving on from Matthias in the Nikolai duology. Like...it starts over a year after the Ice Court, Matthias would have wanted her to be happy, and 17 is an awfully young age for the fandom to pretend like she'll never find anyone else to love. Nina should get to be as happy as the rest of the Crows.

#six of crows #soc spoilers #nina zenik #grishaverse #actually tbh a lot of the things the SoC fandom seems to think about how the Crows' lives (especially their love lives) #should operate post-Crooked Kingdom seem deeply influenced by the fact that so few (active) fans seem to be over the age of 21 #(which...understandable bc it's still a YA series at the end of the day #though one that trends nearly towards being NA #but it's still fascinating to observe as someone who's both a new fan AND over 25)

[cruelsister-moved2]

this is so humiliating 30 years old and you still cant read a book that isn't abt sexy fairies going into heat

#i actually hate the well if it gets ppl reading type attitude to this stuff #because from my observations it actually seems to trap people in only being able to read stuff like this #it's not like a gateway drug at all it just funnels you into endless YA romantasy and destroys ur ability(and confidence) to read anything #else. #for all the anti intellectualism I actually thing a lot of the YA girlies would enjoy reading actual books if they hadn't basically #been convinced that anything not by cassandra clare requires a masters degree to understand and is elitist and scary

Tuvok's such a bitch for real <3

#the captions don't pick up on the fact that he actually says 'a tendency to follow MY...' before he gets cut off #He doesn't even say his plan is logically better in any way he's just like 'listening to B'Elanna over me???? Did you forget that I'm Tuvok #This would NEVER happen if Janeway were in charge...' <- untrue #Later on in the episode he literally says 'hmm I /HAVE/ to point out that SOME people's plans literally blew up in their faces #and made everything worse. Maybe my plan is better? Just an observation I had.' #I love Tuvok so much and so dearly and I think he should have 100% gotten punched he is so punchable <3 #If you're ever planning something and hear Tuvok's voice from the back of the room go 'Can I say something?' be prepared to roll your eyes #Chakotay: (in the tone of 'that's your man') That's your best friend?? -picture of Tuvok- #Janeway: Yeah- (look at the screen.) That's my dear friend v_v and I'm going to stick beside him. #If Tuvok contradicted my plan and basically whined about how I wasn't going with what he said was best I would march across the room #and kiss him directly on the lips. LOVE ya buddy. You are ANNOYING <3 #tuvok cam #star trek screenshots #st voyager #st voyager Twisted #Tuvok whenever he wants to complain: I feel compelled by certain forces to speak. #<- if Tuvok were human he would 100% say 'I just think it's funny how-' about things which deeply annoy him

when i get my paycheck the first thing im gonna do is order myself a full set of alex rider books. literally where would we be without them holy shit. reading skeleton key changed me as a person

#i always hear about series like animorphs and rightly so bc its a rly good series but like #can we talk about alex rider honestly?? #like. idk it just #it meant so much to me i think bc it was essentially about a kid who went thru smth terrible when they were young #lost a parent(s) #kept truckin...... went thru some more. ok. walked it off. was okay in the end #rinse and repeat and rinse and repeat and some things hit harder than others and the only adults who are #well meaning or genuinely observant are always helpless to do anything to Actually help #but the most important part is the kids making it out in the end #anyways #i saw all that n went wow he's just like me n idk it just. it was like well if he can make it after all that then i think i can make it too #well. anyways. sorry for all that LOL im about to sleep but um. ya gNJSJSJ #alex rider

[lightkrets312]

sometimes I get a little annoyed about statements where "people should just".

Like yes! Absolutely! Sure! They should!

But do they???

Is it a common practice that everyone 150% of the time knows? Or practices? Or succeeds at? With no possibility of failure? Or conceivable reason why they can't, don't, or shouldn't? For any good or bad reason?

Because!

Just because they should!

Does not mean they do!
