#can you tell I'm tired right now?

[infernalurge]

the Flayer at the beginning of BG3 is not the Emperor! Emperor is in the Prism, which SH stole and has in her pack. he only ended up on the ship because SH was kidnapped after stealing the Prism.

Emperor directly explains this to you, but not in so much detail. He was sent by the Absolute to recover the artefact and when he did, he realised he could basically hide inside and use Orpheus' power to interfere with the Absolute and the tadpoles.

SH steals the Prism and gets taken to the ship with the Emperor inside of the Prism. he is never present on the ship. he doesn't leave the Prism until the end of Act 2, briefly as the Guardian

there are a lot of ambiguous parts to his story but how he ended up on the ship and whether or not that Flayer is him, are directly explained to you. they're not intended to be the same Flayer. they intentionally gave them different eye colours to distinguish them

EDIT TO ADD: You find the Flayer who infected you on the beach, pinned beneath debris. the narrator TELLS YOU that's the same Flayer from the beginning. The yellow-eyed Flayer is NOT Emp!

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #bg3 the emperor #bg3 emperor #sorry I'm tired of people pushing this idea lol #like it could not be any clearer that they're different creatures #and as someone who is doing a body language study on Emp right now #I can tell you that is NOT our boy! #he does not move like our boy and I don't think it's mocap OR that it's Scott Josephs #it's legitimately a random NPC guys pls #I genuinely don't understand why people get so confused over this #have to assume youre just not listening to the narrator or something #you kill the flayer that tadpoled you it's the one that's stuck in the craaasshhhh

I had someone ask me about 'The World Has Been Changed' tshirts and since I took down all my merch shops here's the print file for free if you wanna print it yourself. donate to a random charity for the tax benefits if you download! or don't! go crazy go wild I don't care!!!!

also I hiked up a ridge and made a cool dragon video that's up as early access on Patreon rn. (I only have one Patreon tier and it costs $3)

ALSO also I'm hosting a Drawpile get-together in my Patreon discord tomorrow night starting at 5pm PST, so if you join to see the dragon video you are free to come to that as well. :) (once ppl join the Patreon discord I don't kick them out even if they stop being patrons btw)

#auropost #and don't feel guilty if you can't do a donation or be a patron or whatever it's just a gesture #and the patreon is just a tip jar really #if you're reading this i'm just glad you're here and it's all good #anyways can you tell i am just bone-deep tired right now #i scrolled thru instagram the other day (mistake) and felt like i was in plato's cave #like holy FUCK none of this is real!!!!!!!! it's ALL just Product Advertisement #perpetually a hair's breadth away from deleting all my social media these days #wanna play with holograms touch grass make art with my friends and that's IT!!!!

I don't know if I made it very clear #I'm watching mash again after a month long break i took to rewatch other shows. #Currently on season 8 episode 19 #I have so many things to do but my mind is at its limit so I'm procrastinating #The mash posts on tumblr are the only things keeping me sane right now so thank you mashblr for your art edits and jokes

There was some post by a 16 year old floating around Tumblr that was like "kids should never have devices, actually, if I was a parent I wouldn't give my kid anything until they were 13 or older" and I, a grown up with two children, know from experience... look. I did my best to keep my kids from screens. I really did. But like. I read on my phone. I social media on my phone. I play games on my phone. I always have my phone. And they see me with it and SURPRISE, THEY WANT ONE. THEY WANT TO USE IT. If mommy thinks it's cool and uses it that much, how could they NOT want one? So I added a comment to that post that said, "then you as an adult better be prepared to give up your own phone because when the kid sees you using it they're going to want it."

And I got multiple. m.u.l.t.i.p.l.e., hate-ridden replies impugning my parenting over this. To the point that I went in and deleted my comment because months and months later I'd still get some random teenager @ ing me for being tHe WoRsT pArEnT because. I am an actual parent. Accepting an actual reality. Of parenting during the 2020s. That if as an adult I have screen time, my kid is (SHOCK) also going to want screen time! And no I'm not going to *give up reading books* (when all the books I want to read are only available as e-books) just to try to stop my kid from screen time.

Adults are just as addicted. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, a problem or not, is open to opinion, but obviously: indicates: if a kid sees the parent using their time that way, the kid is going to want to do it too!

(and no, I don't scold my kids for screen time. I actually am always impressed how much I see them learning during their screen time! and we talk about it! and we play games WITH them! My wife and I both learned how to play Minecraft because my son is obsessed! And guess what he's learned to build amazing things and it's useful to him as spacial awareness and problem solving in so many contexts!)

(Sorry, I'm always a nudge away from writing a post about screen time myself and I'm apparently very talkative today.)

(I'm breaking this out into it's own post because I looked at the comments and notes on that other one and it's just as much teenagers going YEAH THOSE OLD PEOPLE ARE THE PROBLEM and I'm so fucking tired of listening to people who don't have kids tell us how we parents are going wrong when they have no idea, n.o. i.d.e.a., how hard it is to be a parent right now and how little support we're getting. I've posted about it before and I'll post about it again, if you can't offer anything other than to be YET ANOTHER PERSON screaming that parents are Doing Parenting Wrong in the umpteenth way that contradicts all the OTHER ways we get bombarded with being told we're Doing Parenting Wrong, you really need to shut the fuck up.)

NEW KNIGHTS! yahoooo

[headfullofdolls]

If i have to see one more post about g3 Lagoona being nothing but an aggressive, violent, and threatening Latina stereotype, eye am going to become an aggressive Latina stereotype.

Say you haven't watched the show without saying you haven't watched the show. I know she calls herself "spicy" in the music video. Yes I had a problem with that. No I don't think it's an accurate representation of her entire actual character to keep pointing to that one line like some kinda "gotcha."

#monster high #monster high thoughts #i've been thinking about this for months and my feelings only get stronger the more episodes we get #like if you watch the show and STILL only see lagoona as fulfilling a spicy aggressive and violent stereotype? #to me that says more about you #and how you're perceiving her now that she's different. or now that she's suddenly not white #like the people who say this stuff are themselves reducing g3 lagoona into the stereotype #as though she needs to perfectly counter a stereotype in order to justify her not being white anymore #because otherwise she just might as well stay white right? #because why change anything? #if she was the only aggressive character i'd have more issue #if she was the only latine rep in the show i'd have more issue #if that was the only facet of her character i'd have more issue #fortunately context exists and none of those are true #why diversify the main characters when you can make replacements that will get hate for being replacements? #or another token side character that'll hardly get any screentime or importance like in g1? #also a big part of the spicy latina stereotype is that their feistiness makes them a sexy and exotic object of desire to conquer #the objectification is key #and idk how to tell you this but lagoona is Not That #ugh i'll probably get shit for this but i'm tired of the misinformation and lack of nuance #if you read this far you've passed the informative tags #and gotten to the point where my neurodivergent ass feels the need to overexplain myself to justify me making this post #and being kinda aggressive about it myself #also obligatory disclaimer that latines aren't a monolith and i obviously don't represent everyone's feelings on the rep etc etc #but that also doesn't change that some people are either being willfully obtuse about this or just...not great at media literacy #as far as not engaging with in-show examples of lagoona's personality not aligning with the stereotypes they already perceive her to be #ANYWAY NO MORE TAGS BYE

Tripitaka, when confronted with the most indescribably beautiful young woman on the planet: >:( Hey! Wukong said there weren't any people around here!

#jttw personal #jttw #chapter 27 #that's literally all he got from that #what an icon #also: tripitaka is such a BRAT when he's hungry. it was annoying the first time I read it but now it's mostly just funny #get this man a snickers bar #wukong needs to start carrying emergency snacks like a tired parent #tripitaka: i'm STARVING #sun wukong currently single-handedly escorting them through this entire mountain: and what do you want ME to do about it? #tripitaka: *oFFENDED GASP* #tripitaka: *immediately brings out the i SAVED YOU from your PERSONAL HELL card which is like* #*bringing a nuke to a slap fight but I guess the man is feeling real serious about lunch right now* #and also: #tripitaka - not done: and does our TEACHER and DISCIPLE bond mean NOTHING TO YOU??! #tripitaka - still not done: *literal seconds from throwing himself on the ground and refusing to move like an overtired toddler* #*FUCK the Buddha's mission* #sun wukong: okay oKAY FINE I WILL FEED YOU #the real reason the white bone spirit story is such a shitshow: tripitaka's hangry literally the whole time #and also you can tell he's still not over getting his trust in wukong shattered with the bandits from way back in the beginning of the book #but you know #hangry monk is funnier

Trans girl Kazuichi x trans boy Gundham

and then Gundham had to get Kazuichi to pull over (I mean they weren't driving that fast and it was the middle of nowhere but you get the idea).

the car is a Datsun 510.

#soudam #kazuichi x gundham #kazuichi soda #kazuichi souda #gundham tanaka #my art #kazuichi is still unlearning traditional gender roles and comp masculinity but she's working on it! #like. she could have just offered to take Gundham on a ride without this idea of ''that's what boyfriends do right?'' she figures it out th #she doesn't think of gundham as ''a girl'' btw she just defaulted herself to ''guy'' by accident. #also the ''I'm around a guy so I have to act masculine" kind of thing creeps up for her and gundham's learning not to feed into that #might make a comic where they have more communication issues but this one was a smoother situation #also I'll work on writing gundham dialogue bc I am always so embarrassed about it. I always feel like he's ooc when I write him :/ #but I was tired and the prompt was cars so this was mostly kazuichi-based. I'll work on gundham next time #this is a different au from my selfship and sondham not a polyship btw #I can tell you right now gundham's earring and the lightning bolt on his face might disappear/reappear bc I keep forgetting them

[gxlden-angels]

I've got a personal situation going on that I want to eventually talk about here, but in summary transphobes and fundamentalist christians hate women and can suck my spiritual dick about it

#idk maybe I'll go into more detail eventually #but essentially I'm very tired of the christian and terf narrative of 'don't get gender affirming care your body is healthy and perfect' #'the lord made you the way you should be :)' #and I know terfs aren't doing it based on jesus but they can still go fuck themselves over the same rhetoric with a 'fem' sticker over it #because I want to get top surgery but that's 'mutilating healthy tissue' #but I have a family history of early onset breast cancer which means getting preventative surgery is one of my best options #so what now? am I mutilated because it's gender affirming and technically not cancerous? or am I brave because I went under the knife to #prevent cancer I know Im likely to get? #You can't tell if I got top surgery to affirm my gender or a double mastectomy to prevent cancer unless you ask me #So right now Im very angry about the concept that I was 'beautifully and wonderfully made' by some deity that wanted my mom to die at 45 #I discovered quite a few more medical issues I have and the christian crowd is getting on my fucking nerves about it #'let me pray over you' pray over this dick my mom and her mom already got got and I was gonna chop them regardless #ex christian #religious trauma #parental death tw

[mattodore]

probably the most important tests i've taken for mattodore 🧑‍💻

#theo's on the left and matthias is on the right btw... though i think you can tell that just based on the percentage bars 😭 #matthias fr just likes everything. love my little hedonist <333 #river dipping #theodore doe #matthias evanoff #echthroi #oc extras #uh..... #nsft #...??? idk they're words on a screen but just in case #the 41% non-monogamist vs. 81%... lol #idk if i mentioned this before but while mattodore are monogamist they do still have sex with other people together #but bc of how jealous theo is the threesomes they have have a general no-touch rule wrt matthias #like he's entirely off limits to their third. theo is very strict abt this too... he'll be immediately taken out of a scene #if a hand even grazes matthias's skin... which is funny considering they mostly have threesomes with women anyway bc of his jealousy #and yet he still reacts poorly. like theo knows matthias is gay it's just that he's jealous in a completely irrational way #matthias likes it tho <3 it pleases him like nothing else to watch theo snap at someone not to touch him. like he's rock solid every time 🤷 #guy whose jealousy meter is always at zero vs. guy whose jealous meter is always at a hundred... incredible dynamic imo #anyway......... i edited two other screenshots too but they're just for me <3 and i think i'm getting tired now #so i'm going to try to sleep. i'm counting on this jerma stream to keep my brain busy until i pass out. #if that doesn't work then i'll be scooping out my brain w/ a spoon as an alternative

[selvepnea]

Been thinking about my body a lot

#Sel talks #Listened through Fat Talk by Virginia Sole-Smith which talked a lot about how bodies are tools #And the way she talked about how thin-ness shouldn't be something we strive for #And I can't help but draw parallels between my own desire to go on t? I don't know. Been having too many thoughts stewing #I keep coming back to isabeau's line of “maybe it was easier to change into someone I could love than to learn how to love how I was” #And I had drawn both hrt and diet culture back into this; but. Neither of them are from self love? #It's. Idk; a friction? On how you perceive yourself and how the world perceives you? #Or. Idk idk. It's hard to articulate now that I'm trying to get it down #If I remember right; one of the messages of fat talk was how bodies should be for function first and foremost; and should hardly-if ever- #Considered for aesthetic. And yes- trying to loose weight is one of the most damaging aesthetic changes you can do- #Idk! I feel like I'm looking too far into it #Something something you're not happy with how your body looks/is perceived so you want to change it #Whether that's influenced by society; loved ones; or something biological; it's still a desire to change your body #Although one is vastly more accepted than the other #Trying to become thin is trying to make yourself more comfortable in a vastly fatphobic world; to placate the people think they have say #Over your body; make yourself more palettable to the world around you. #Which I guess is an important distinction #Becoming the person you want to be even through everyone telling you that it's wrong or disgusting #But a part of me can't help but think a part of the reason I want to do hrt might have something to do with our male centric society? #I'm too tired to elaborate any further but I feel less busy now that I have it out

[inkblackorchid]

Btw. I completed chapter 5 of the WIP in between. I've just been so tired the last few days that I forgot to post about it.....

#yugioh 5ds #fic writing updates #current wip #ngl I'm frustrated af right now because I can tell my writing has slowed down significantly #and it's all the dumb fault of irl obligations kicking my ass #I am. so. tired. #this fic author does not have enough time to rest #and she does not have enough enrichment in her enclosure either #the fic is still progressing because I'm a stubborn bitch #but uh. not much else is. my motivation for anything other than going to sleep and writing a few sentences every night is dead r/n. #siiiiiiiiiiigh #so yeah just in case you were wondering how things are going #orchid rambles

[advisorsage]

I think I've fucked up

#i ranted to my girlfriend and i know she probably is just busy but my brain is screaming that i made her upset even though.. #my rant was about my own situation and how i feel about it and then i apologized for complaining at her and said that i wasn't supposed to #and I'm worried she thinks she's not supposed to complain to me when i just meant that i don't like telling people about my shit #and i know she said i could tell her and that she wants to support me but she and my boyfriend are my first relationships #and i don't want to fuck up and i think i have and i haven't told my boyfriend about my diagnosis yet #and I'm scared I'll complain at him too when i tell him and i don't care that he's told me i can and should complain to him #i don't want to saddle them with my complaints #and i called out of work because of how I'm feeling from my diagnosis and that's what i ranted to my girlfriend about #and i'm terrified she doesn't want to date me anymore because my reaction to being diagnosed with one more thing is so fucking pathetic #and i just need to cry and scream and throw up and i can't do any of those things and i feel like everyone except her is telling me #it's no big deal when it is a big deal and i don't think i got it through to my therapist and I'm just freaked out and i don't want to cling #and and and I'm just. i hate existing right now #i feel like i shouldn't do what i want to at home because i called out from work and i know that's stupid but i don't feel like i deserve #nice things right now despite needing them and I'm just so tired but not sleepy and i feel like I'm going to have a panic attack and #i can't even do anything about it! #fuck #i fucked myself over basically #anyway #drink water you heathens

[solipseismic]

how is it that we get a roommate to replace the former roommate whom we had beef with for screaming at their video games and the new roommate does the same exact thing but with a different emotion. like didn't we get you to avoid this exact scenario

#granted there were a lot of other worse and different reasons why we kicked alyx out #however; #and granted we did say at the beginning of this thing that new roommate is a twitch streamer and games a lot so this may be an issue #HOWEVER. #4 days out of the week i have to text this fuckass to keep it down bc i hear them shrieking clear across the house at 1am after they? idk? #get shot by a 13 yr old in fortnite? #get good i guess! #genuine rage over this due to i can hear them yelling right now (it is 1130 pm) #and it isnt even a good game. and? you aren't even good at it. #idk. skill issue on both counts! i dont have a bad time in game bc im good at it. and even when i do i am not making noises #especially not noises that can be heard across a hallway and two (2) doors #like the most insignificant of insignificant petty grievances but perhaps the one i am most frustrated by #somehow #'ahhh i play fortnite ahhh i'm having such a time playing fornite' i have nothing but contempt for you. #in the most asshole way possible. after having played a few games. telling ppl u play fortnite is embarrassing. #no matter how u do. u win? congratulations! you just wiped a bunch of 13 yr olds #u lose? congratulations! u just got wiped by a bunch of 13 yr olds and some fuckass who drops $50 weekly to get some fuckass shiny gun #or whatever. #ANYWAYS ... #everyone avert ur eyes im tired and pissed about a variety of things. #croidhe #AND they don't clean up after themselves EITHER. granted not to the extent alyx didn't #and at least they're not a complete asshole. but. did we NOT get you to avoid. this EXACT scenario.
