#even got a rug!

[wizardemotions]

the question came to mind of "in your ship, how might the larger/stronger party pick up or carry the smaller one?" and these were the answers i came to

#quill to paper #can't get over draco and harry being like 3 yrs deep in a relationship and still irritating the fuck out of one another #drarry #linny #romione #drarry fanart #linny fanart #romione fanart #draco malfoy #harry potter #luna lovegood #ginny weasley #ron weasley #hermione granger #also it's my belief that the weasleys are literally all hot in some way shape or form #even percys hot in like a pretentious high ranking office grunt sort of way #ginny? my god. as a dyke: professional quidditch player ginny could do unspeakable things to me #rons got the whole head auror thing going for him and also being just sorta rugged. if still pale as hell #stock photos + one pose photo used as refs #draco is screeching smth like UNHAND ME BASTARD!!!!!!! #hermione gets to be smug about her hot auror arm candy husband #also yeah i'm inflicting my music taste on harry. he gets ahold of grunge and goes completely off the handle with it #everclear beloved

Machete is a graceful hound whenever he's not a shakey boi. Unfortuanlty he's always a shakey boi.

.

#he wants to be the graceful hound so badly #and sometimes he is #like he's supposed to have his moments #where you can see that he's got potential and spark and even a little bit of charisma #but being neurotic and moody and frazzled kind of pulls the rug from under his feet more often than not #answered #anonymous #shakey boi

I think that individualist theorists are important to learn from in the areas where collectivist theory fails (or sets itself up to fail), while still maintaining my sense of striving for betterment FOR a collective. Where individualism fails is in thinking “I got mine, fuck you,” but where collectivism fails is in creating a sense of duty and obligation that makes it easier to force people to fall in line—the crux of the fucking issue to begin with, right?

I WANT people to think for themselves and to act independent of a sense of duty…for the overall betterment of everyone. Of course I want the liberation of everyone—an injury to one is an injury to all, your struggle is my struggle and our paths are intertwined etc etc but forfeiting individual roles both speeds up burnout and makes group dissent impossible.

“You should care about x struggle because you should just care naturally” sure, but this strategy isolates each struggle from each other and isolates YOU from the struggle. “I am not x but I’ll care because I’m nice” survives as long as the fight doesn’t destroy you. You cannot martyr for every individual cause one at a time out of obligation.

“This hurts YOU, which is connected to what hurts ME, so together we are fighting for each other” is a much more sustainable practice.

Without personal connection, it is difficult to keep going, it is difficult to not feel split between struggles, and guilt becomes a tool you either self-destruct with, or it can be used to manipulate your actions. We cannot oust abusers because it would “harm the collective.” When one leader is removed, it’s over because my obligation was to that group above my own individual action. I cannot question the authority leadership of our group because it will undermine the Collective.

Self-preservation becomes ‘selfishness,’ all efforts not going to the cause become ‘unimportant,’ and dissent from within will be crushed unceremoniously. A new state is born, a new leader is chosen. The cycle repeats. What are we even fighting for if not to better all of our own lives together?

I don’t want to trade one lord for another, I don’t want my neighbors to be content with submission, I don’t want complacency.

I will fight for my neighbor any day, but I am not their savior. I am not their lord. They should be the arbiter of their future, like I should be mine. Rejecting a total melting into a collective is essential to resist tyranny from outside and within, not for the sake of “rugged individualism” but to actually ensure we all are really free.

Autonomy above all else, for the good of us all.

#anarchism #anarchy #LJsm #I recognize that individualism vs collectivism is often a false dichotomy #and many therorists of each camp have wildly different definitions for each #but the general sense of each is what I’m referring to #I also don’t think very many of the individualists even ARE ‘fuck you I got mine’ as they are framed #due to capitalistic rugged individualism and right wing ‘anarchists’ aka libertarians and ancaps

eso: "yess the three tribunal line up with the anticipation daedra quite well; vivec is constantly writing self insert smut fiction so he's oBVIOUSLY a perfect match with lolth- I MEAN mephala, the sexy spider lady of evil sex and backstabbing sexily".

meanwhile: mephala is the webspinner, overseeing how the smallest action snowballs and causes disastrous effects down the line.... Like how sotha sil is obsessed with, by eso's own writing, cause and effect and (like mephala) says he can see the far-off consequences of the smallest action.

sotha sil is a mephala! it's sotha sil, not vivec! vivec is an azura!

ALSO, MEPHALA IS NOT LOLTH, ESO!

#hey at least they got almalexia to boethia right #right? #even though they go out of their way to demonize and straight up ignore her and shove her under a rug to better ignore #look my sister and i have a lil in-joke where azura and mephala are the same being #because there's so much overlap it's difficult to separate them #but i still stand by vivec matches azura #and all that entails #morrowind #eso #elderscrolls #elder scrolls online #teso #tribunal #daedric princes #daedra #ramblings #i just finished clockwork city #that's the context

Okay so if the whole wedding debacle hadn’t happened (which I’m still mad at Bonnie for because we deserved a Kai redemption arc and to see him finally have a chance to see what family could really be like and we could’ve had it if she hadn’t sent Kai back to a prison world) this is what I’d like to imagine uncle Kai would be like with baby Lizzie and Josie

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRTUwT1C/

HOW did this ask escape for so long?? I'm so stale.

BUT YES, that is so much the relationship they'd have, I'm giggling!!

And same, I'm so bitter that we couldn't have a redemption arc. I feel like Kai wouldn't be bad with kids as long as he isn't competing against them for 1.) having importance to the family / coven, and 2.) literal survival. Someone who's the eldest of six other kids, I actually think would be quite good with them, given the chance. Ugh, I so wish they kept him around and we could have scenes like that. And Jo / Liv / Bonnie, etc. all terrified and waiting for him to lose patience / mess up, but every time, he proves them wrong. 😭

#i'm sorry it took me so long to answer #i think i saw it but then the notif went away and it got swept under the rug #i need to re-enter my active era bc this dead period sucks #but omg i honestly think he'd be cute with kids and surprise everyone #and lizzie and josie would be such a stubborn and ruthless pair #eventually kai is trusted to the point where even ric is like “JUST TAKE THEM - GET THEM AWAY FROM ME” #bc when kai found out jo was pregnant he didn't even care #he just told her and calmly left #he didn't go after them until bonnie betrayed him and then he snapped #i'm still mad at bonnie too bc that was pointless #he was doing better 😭

How do you feel about this song for Hector? <3

"When the fires, when the fires have surrounded you And the whole wide world's comin' after you I've got blood, I've got blood on my name"

omg, just that excerpt alone is perfect for the Guy but OH i have SO many thoughts <3 im just gonna cover the lines that i feel are most interesting in terms of my boye

under the cut for scrollings sake hehe

I dont think i need to cover the chorus, its kinda quite obvious dghsgdh THE REST HOWEVER-

Oh, Lazarus, how did your debts get paid? Oh, Lazarus, were you so afraid?

Hector working himself to the bone, Hecula Draculas Cruse etc. Though a simple line in concept its driving me up a wall for totally unrelated reasons hfghd

Not a spell gonna be broken with a potion or a priest When you're cursed, you're always hopin' that a prophet would be grieved

not a spell gonna be broken [...] the curse, easy enough but that last line 'hopin' that a prophet would be grieved' - once again metaphorically connected to Dracula, Hector and Isaac thinking of him as their Lord/God, him favoring Hector and how he almost places him on a different level than Isaac - he gets between them, his will is his Lord, He really is like a Dark Prophet both to the people he is made to kill for Dracula and maybe even the hierarchy in the castle itself (AAAA). But obviously, we know what being Draculas favorite does to any one - Hector is his favorite without a choice. It is not worth being the lords favorite, it rips him up and tears him at every seam. as a plea, Isaac is lucky to be almost oh so despised by him.

also another few lines that fascinate me

Can’t you see I’m sorry I will make it worth your while Made a(or "of") dead man’s money You can see it in my smile

i dont necessarily see how it can fit Hector however, it does nicely fit Dracula towards Hector which admittedly is a major part of his character. Once again under the assumption that this is Lazarus the beggar, and the man speaking rather than being Lazarus is the rich man (as the song does have quite alot of biblical themes) to me it makes sense that this is for a quick moment, a switch to Dracula - perhaps his words ringing in Hectors head? the guilt of so easily forsaking his Lord with the 'cant you see im sorry?' but as i said, its not so much applicable to Hector as it is good ole' Dracul

It won’t be long ‘Til I’m dead and gone Watch the fires rise under my skin Down to the bone Scorchin’ my soul

just wanted to remark on this that hell in the song is destroying to the extent of burning or even destroying his soul. its a tangential tie to Hector at best but i still think its noteworthy. what is Hectors hell? i can assume his "sin" are his ties to Dracula so perhaps the "hell" is his life under his servitude? /shrug/

Also, this is mostly under the interpretations that it is Lazarus the beggar and not the more well known one i.e the one risen from the dead as it fits most considering Hector. The entire song feel of desperation for redemption, immense guilt and shame also the simple weariness in his voice is soo Hector </3

#do note: i myself am not Christian and lack alot of information about the stories in the Bible #so i may have missed references to it that can possibly change the meaning of it #but any who #this song got me like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #this song fucks so hard i love it #i missed doing song analyses hehe <333 #if i ever think of something else while ruminating on it later then ill add it in n rb cause its one of them songs youve gotta let Sink in #aint it funny that this is roughly what i originally imagined hectors voice to sound like hdsj even despite his face? #always imagined to have a rugged voice before i head it ingame which fits just as well <3 #hector castlevania

“do you have all the support that you need [for sweden]?”

#tomgreg #''i'm not okay'' wig tom :)))) #man what can i even say about this part like literally what can i say #it feels less like he leans to greg when something is wrong with shiv and more like he leans to greg when he's fucking terrified #why would someone like greg EVER make you feel safe in a business world. unless you were enamoured with him. #unless you felt like you were on top of the world with him. invincible. unstoppable. unless you TRUSTED him with your life. #unless it wasn't about business at all. or at least not completely. #idk idk. you could say he couldn't exactly call shiv bc of the state she was in and yeah you could say he needed to cover his ass. #true. that's all true. but i think that regardless of that. it's important to remember greg asked if tom wanted him there earlier #and tom denied it but in actuality he really fucking did need him. #he could never predict he'd lose his big connection; that logan would die. of course not. he could never predict he'd suddenly #become unsafe and the rug pulled out from under him. but if he could you KNOW who the fuck he'd take with him. #it's also important to remember that it's only to shiv and greg that he ever admits that he's not okay/hurt. that he ever lets down the wall #greg is not amazing with his words but i think to hear his voice was enough to comfort tom a bit. and when he made the joke #greg calmed him down. he didn't even chide tom for making a joke about greg looking like a suspect. he was too focused on #listening to tom and making sure he got it all. #they're sOOooo. ughh #sigh. sigh. sigh. sigh. SIgh #sorry for the long ass cap posts but like. sometimes you Gotta cap it and not do a video like this Deserves caps

Skye did nothing wrong. They're all neck deep in a lot of emotions. Grief can messy even when it seems like the people are estranged.

#tsitp #the sunmer i turned pretty #skye had every right to say what they did #you have to understand that Skye sees Susannah though all the ways shes hurt their mother with her toxic positivity #like susannah not telling her kids shes dying so they could enjoy the summer would have been EXTREMELY traumatzing to them #even if they found out when she wanted them to #the recent episode proved that she has always just prefeded to sweep any and all emotions under the rug #which means she barely allowed her sister to grieve the death of their father with her #because Susannah decided itd be best for everyone to ignore it #Skye is likely watching their mother try to get rid of the house in an effort to move on from the past in a way she never got to #and that doesn't mean shes totally in the right but it doesnt mean shes evil #and skye had every right to point out that there were two sides here #Skye and their mother are probally having a very hard and conflicting time with the loss #i had a horrible relationship with my father and when he had a stroke i was a wreck because there were so many things that werent resolved #and they werent even my fault they were his #grief hits people like a truck #skye hasnt seen their cousins in a long time and its under such horrible circumstances #and they have taken every chance to shit on their mother #sure a lot of their points are right but there IS more to the story and it is okay that Skye got upset and pointed that out #neither of the sisters are perfect thats how people work #demirose glasses off #i wouldnt be surprised if we learn even more about how dysfunctional the family was when they were kids or other trauma #tsitp spoillers #the summer i turned pretty spoillers

Vol. 9 of RWBY was the biggest pile of dogshit they have ever created

#rwby #blake and yang were the only good thing that came out if this season #bootleg alice in wonderland #and it wasnt even interesting #a filler volume of nothing #it liked to pretend that it had stakes but it had nothing #“oh but ruby had character development” #it was a character arc that got resolved in one episode #jaune got swept under the rug #im sure everything he went throught will be forgetten in vol. 10 #rwby vol9 #rw/de

I NEED to get back into oc f/os. I just remembered my old casino themed anthro shark guy. He never got a solid enough ref sheet (or lore, really) for me to feel comfortable making him one of my f/os but maybe I should remedy that at some point. Big Jack.........

#his name is Jasper Roulette but everyone calls him Big Jack #he's a ''professional'' underground gambler and great white 'card shark' #insists he's an ex crime boss but won't tell anyone what that entailed #well... he WILL. but it's a different story every time. always a lie and often over the top #nobody knows for sure if any of it's true or not. but pretty much everyone either 100% believes it or is too scared to contest it #bc his persona around other casino goers is this rough and tough type guy and he has the looks and talk to back it up #really though even IF it's true he's pretty harmless now. his whole thing is ''yeah I used to do that but I'm turning my life around'' #which others are skeptical about but is mostly true. he's kinda just chilling #he's a cheat and a showoff and an asshole but he's more intimidating than he is dangerous #and he has way more money than he cares to do anything with (where he got it who's to say) so he doesn't mind just handing it out #he was the first character I made for a little game / visual novel I wanted to make at one point but ended up giving up on #it was just about sharks in an underground casino #the idea was you could play little mini games and have conversations with them #and if you made the conversation go in the ''right'' direction there'd be little collectibles that opened new paths #but it never went anywhere other than some ideas and a very rough drawing of Big Jack (which actually came first lol) #unfortunately I designed him IMMEDIATELY before I got super into Sparker as one of my f/os so he got swept under the rug real bad #sorry sharky 😔 #roz posts

I've come to the conclusion that when it comes to new characters I have the same attitude as a poorly socialized dog. I swear every time new content comes around and we get the news of new characters my instant reaction is to just. Dislike them. Hope they have little to no importance in the plot. Even when the design looks nice and the characters seem interesting. They're taking screen time away from my faves and my heart tells me to Bite

#this isnt even about the Thing. Its about Astrid #that cool and interesting looking old lady #(im assuming thats her name its what ive seen people use) #Im pretty sure there's something ot be said about my autism here #i dont want things to change. I dont want to risk the show taking a turn for the worse and becoming Insane #if it were up to me #s2 would have just been a reprise of s2 while focusing on different things #and s3 would be a reprise of s2 #which means ofc that the show wouldn't be nearly as compelling as it is. that' why i trust the writers #but at the same time I HAAAAAATE CHANGE #I think the longer hiatuses contribute to this. I am given time to adjust to what can be considered canon and then BOOM #rug pulled from under me with only like 2 months of antecedence. #and I have to be prepared to let go of my headcanons and my current views of this world and its characters #and to accept that these new faces they're throwing at us will be just as important as the ones I already know and love #like I WANT to be spoiler free but at the same time I gotta prepare myself for what's coming #bc otherwise I'm gonna get the air knoked out of me fr #cons of letting a show take over 60% of your brain #turns to the other 40%: at least I've got you. you'll never change or abandon me #*the Cells look at me uninpressed and tell me to get a job* #hilda the series #hilda s3
