#Woha... Alright read the chapter 🫡 #It's just. I get where Fukuchi is coming from and I feel like after rereading it the whole thing was a little more clear but... #Did it *really* have to be so complicated. Like dude did it **really** have to be so complicated. #Maybe it had to idk. After all I'm always the first to say that a complex reality can't be reduced to simple axioms– #and that semplifications never bring anything good. #But at the same time was there REALLY no other way #Couldn't you promote your ideas diplomatically instead. Couldn't you become a democratic activist or politician. #Couldn't you write a book‚ person named OUCHI FUKUCHI #Also couldn't you? Talk about it with someone before executing your crazy plan so that anyone else might have pointed to you how crazy it i #But I suppose the whole central theme of this arc ultimately was “people who try to do everything by their own are destined to fall” #And to an extent it does still feel kinda self-contradictory of a plan. Like ahah my plan included not to make anyone suffer!!! #[turns half world population into a vampire] #Like c'mon? Violations of human rights can happen even without killing people dude #(Also Akutagawa) #(Like I get it he's only one (1) person. But he's also the only (only) person for me so I can't bring myself to ignore him y'know) #Mmmmmhhhhhh that's of the main things ig. I YELLED when they brought up Max Weber and the what-is-a-state question #That's like. One of the main questions my whole life studies centers on. #The adrenaline that gave me to see it mentioned in my current hyperfixation ahfjvafjhcvlawsvfblwhkv #This chapter was just so so political theories packed I felt like I was just still studying lol. #I feel like this was a true “get why bsd is labelled as seinen”. #You just can't do this kind of in-depth political theory discussion in shonen manga ig #What else. Still patiently waiting for ss/kk 😔 #random rambles

Oh hey! Do you like stories about wlw and weird, convoluted forms of time travel? Do you like supporting queer folks making cool art? Did River Song rewire your brain as a teenager?

I wrote a short story called "A Practical Study of Time" for Baffling Magazine, a queer speculative fiction mag! It's published on Patreon, if you're interested in becoming a patron of a super neat lit mag—or it'll be on their site when their eleventh issue is published in April!

#listen what am I but a dancing court jester at this point I might as well self promote #this like JUST went up and I did not realize it was going up today that was sure an email #me: here's the last of the edits there's one left for you to resolve as you see fit #reply: cool I just resolved that and it's up on patreon now! #me: .......oh cool but *wut* #but for real baffling is super cool and you should check out previous issues and possibly support if you can. they are stellar. #eveNTUALLY I will put my writing website in my pinned or something once I like. lmfao QC that. #but for now I will just make mildly bewildering posts when a short story that I think folks might be interested in gets published #especially if I can promote a cool publication. #radon was also super cool. baffling is super cool. my next publication is also in a super cool mag which I'll def mention! #been very fortunate that people organizing really dope publications have been liking my writing ;-; #also like. really on brand set of first publications ngl. #weird high concept scifi in first person plural pov. queer nonlinear time shenanigans. next up: wizards and war crimes babey (sorta lol) #anyway great first run now if I could sit down and edit my fucking BOOK

I know Off and Gun are two completely different people and they are pretty much nothing alike personality wise etc etc BUT IF OFF DOESN’T START GIVING US SLUTTY VACATION PICTURES LIKE GUN DOES (ALL THE TIME LMAO) IM GOING TO LOSE MY SHIT. I’ve been waiting for Off to slide into his obscene era for years but Gun did it instead. I just need one picture where Off is dripping wet on the beach while he wears white trunks that are a little too low on his hips 👀

yeah off & gun are two different types of slutty lmao 😂 gun serves us his stomach & itty bitty waist on the regular (AS HE SHOULD!!!) while off is more about occasionally wearing slutty ass shorts showing his gorgeous gorgeous legs & posing with his ass in the air (seriously, this man be throwing it back on the regular it's ridiculous 🥵) or now he's been serving CHEST more often, & we even got his back in his latest magazine photoshoot 😌 THAT BEING SAID!!! I absolutely 10000000000% see your vision anon, and in fact I support your vision 💅 I just know one day off will post a shirtless pic somewhere, might be on the beach, might be in his house, idc, and it will be the ULTIMATE cultural reset. hell, it'll probably create world peace or some shit. it shall be absolutely glorious 🤭👀

Summary:

There’s nothing like a shared near-death experience to turn your worst frenemy into an unexpected ally. Kaiba offers Joey a job as thanks and ends up with more than he paid for—namely, a heart. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Maybe not the most surprising of crises—Mokuba got kidnapped on a quarterly basis—but what could Joey say, he felt bad for the guy. He got the whole big brother thing, after all, and watching Kaiba pace around with his coat snagging on chairs and pinball machines at the arcade Joey worked at, screaming into his headset with bloodshot eyes was just sorta sad."

The Branwen bandits make absolutely no sense and every question I ask leads to more questions

Why do Raven and Vernal have advanced weapons while nearly every other member has basic traditional armory? Do they employ a hierarchy within the group? If so, how does one rise in rank? Is the competition brutal, perhaps even lethal?

How are Hunters a significant enough threat that its namesake twins went undercover at Beacon when they clearly steamroll over every obstacle pre-V5? Has Raven's reign made them stronger than her predecessor? How? Who came before Raven and why are they no longer around?

Why would Hunters be after a group of human bandits when their purpose is to fight Grimm? Is stopping man-made tragedy a part of the job because it prevents major Grimm attacks? How far would that authority reach? Would that clash with any local police force?

On a meta level, what do the bandits bring to the narrative? It would've been interesting to see an ideological clash between individualistic "survival of the fittest" and community-oriented "strength of bonds overcome all odds," but we didn't get that. Or we could've gotten some worldbuilding due to their unique nomadic nature outside the kingdoms' safe walls

Instead, the Branwen Bandits serve only a utilitarian purpose: bring Weiss and Yang together and send them to Ruby, house Raven until the finale, and be cannon fodder in a few action scenes

Yet another good idea poorly executed

#rwde #it doesnt even serve angst purposes for qrow bc its so vague and offscreen it might as well not exist #also im avoiding the word tribe bc i read a while back that it promotes negative stereotypes #iirc its bc white colonizers used it as a synonym for 'primitive savages' and using it still promotes that idea #the bandits dont seem to have any close relations w each other so i dont feel like clan works either but im not as sure on that one #ngl every time i hear clan my first thought is either the uchihas or warrior cats lmao #on an off note im wondering if im not receiving hate anons bc ive already blocked everyone who does that shit #almost wish there were notifications for how many blocked anons have tried to send messages lol #literally the closest ive gotten to anon hate was someone saying that the bees were better than violyn from arcade #they sent an lol after i responded so i highly doubt theyre someone who's gone after rwdesters w vitriol #anons send me hate instead of the others blogs pls i need a good laugh

i honestly wonder how much of the consumer demand for netflix is simply..... access to netflix if/when the consumer wants it? i know thats true of most streaming platforms, like i dont think anybody creates paid accounts with the intention of it being a longterm automatic monthly renewal thinking its going to be something they use (or at least browse) every day. but i feel like with netflix a lot of people i know (myself included but i dont really count bc i still use(d) my moms lmao) keep/kept it only because of the possibility that something really great, almost always a netflix original, will be added and they'll want to go watch it. not because there's something already in the catalog that they will want to watch periodically etc. it happens regularly enough to justify that mentality. but honestly even though ive had free access to netflix for years, it has only been when i was exceptionally bored that i looked at the new/trending stuff on my own. otherwise the only time i even open netflix is when ive heard about a new show from the buzz it has created on other platforms*

#thats what makes the individual account creation surge so baffling to me like #theres nothing on there i wanna see THAT badly. but thinking about stuff i HEAR about and then go there to watch.... #*yes i know a lot of that is astroturfed lol but thats still marketing #like i would never have known dahmer existed if i hadnt seen The Discourse about it on twitter #and then i went to netflix for the first time in like at least 5-6 weeks to check it out #also i think it depends a lot on having a smart tv/firestick etc etc bc promotional stuff runs on the homescreens for those #but i dont and most of my peers dont so idk about any of that shit unless im made aware from other channels

#I take a great pleasure and amusement from that fact that my store sells shirts for exactly ONE wrestler #who I famously Hate™️:) #and yet!!!!!!!! #despite getting the shirts right after his return this year #we have sold exactly 4 #we still have 11 in the store #they are the same ones we first got in #they went to $12 #and they’re currently $10 #and nobody wants them #all wrestling fans who come in looking for tees are shown the shirt #they all have the same reaction #they aren’t interested lol #I even promoted them when he Um Hm ‘left’ #NOTHIN #idk it’s just funny #but people ask for other people all the time #we have been BEGGING the buyers to get the tees back in store for others #in both companies too so :) #yeah the people love him #hahahahahahahhahahahaaaaaaaaa

ok actually yeah. i really need to do dishes and go to bed and not stay up late mentalillnessposting a little too viscerally on tumblr the night before i facilitate a workshop in front of the literal president of the university and the vp of my division (LOL about that btw. actively shitting my pants.) but oh my GOD. so saying goodbye to lia was actually fine in the moment. neither of us cried and we talked about all the ways we’ll still be in each others lives and reasons we’ll have to interact in the near future. and she gave me an extremely heartfelt thoughtful gift and we left on a very hopeful note and i felt better and content bc there’s still the rest-of-life and we’ll see each other there. but like an hour before that as i mentioned i was HYSTERICALLY sobbing. in full view of people i know AND people i don’t. and i just sat there and sobbed while everything carried on around me. everything carried on around me!!! and i feel like im about to sob again thinking about it.

#purrs #delete later #idk. i typed a bunch here and then deleted it and now idk what to say. i just feel so lonely. i have had fucked up relationships with every #single older adult in my life and never had someone who could a) stay in my life b) be consistently present in my life c) meet my emotional #needs d) actually See me and accept me for who i am. Like not one person who can be all four of those things. and i have to be all four of t #those things for myself now because im 24 and i missed my chance. but how fucking shitty and painful is that? especially after a year like t #this. the way it’s literally ending the SAME way last year did. huge scary promotion (which i haven’t even talked about on here or to anyone #but lia today actually. but it might be huger and scarier than i thought. which is good but also HUGE -‘d scary. and not a bad thing of bc o #course but it’s so fucking… perilous? like it makes me feel profoundly imperiled because i have extremely good reason to feel that way. and #i have to endure the mortifying ordeal of applying for my own job AGAIN after the first time was so horrible. lol) and also losing a beloved #mentor figure who understood me in a way no one else did which mattered immensely even if they couldn’t do the whole presence thing or #whatever. and now i only have one older adult in my life left (aside from my therapist who doesn’t really count bc i only see her once a #week and we barely know each other still) who is like. here and helping me and i KNOW i am so sick in the head i KNOW and i should not be #writing it but every single day i am fucking terrified that i am being or will be separated from him emotionally or physically jsut like all #the others so. LOL!!!!! i am normal and well adjusted. but it’s like so fucking painful because im grasping at straws but again the reality #is im 24 and the only people on this earth who it is fair for me to expect all 4 from and who should’ve provided it to me are my parents. #and i missed my chance with them forever and now i have to do it myself. and that’s ok sometimes and i can handle it… except in the moments #where im sobbing hysterically and everything carries on. when i am in my darkest moments i want to run to an older adult and have them #comfort me but i truly cannot do that with any of the ones i still have left / regularly interact with for so many reasons. and it’s so #painful it makes me sick sometimes. and now i have to be the romy and the lia i wish to see in this world. but how can i do that when i #haven’t finished grieving over them leaving which feels like leaving ME — NOW — in this moment when i have never needed more support of that #kind more. how can isummon it within myself. im not ready yet. i need a long hug and a hand to hold that won’t (have to) let go. when im #crying i need someone to take me somewhere and comfort me and calm me down. and im 24 so i can’t ask for it. but oh my god i need it. and i #missed my chance. and lia left today and she only ever did that for me metaphorically but… tonight i feel more alone than ever. #and it’s like i don’t even have the emotional intelligence or whatever to ASK for that. bc im playing by ear and i don’t know how to read #the music of it. im self taught. that fucking sucks. that SUCKSSS. also that’s too strong a way to put it liek obviously my friends who are #closer to my age are INTEGRAL to me being able to function and i learn from them and cherish their support. but just like i can’t be a mom #to me my friends can’t either. so it’s like what the fuck do i do. get steamrolled by relentless grief and rage every day i guess. #also side note. everything carried on when i was in brighton too. i came home early ofc but it’s like nothing changed in my absence. and #that has fucked me up SUPREMELY. i think that might be a root of it. like hm… it seems my presence doesn’t have impacts. but idk

I remembered I had made a top of my favourite Gabe scenes a very long time and thought it would work very well in a video format, so here it comes!

#Elena of Avalor #Gabriel Nunez #Gabe Nunez #My video #I've got a content-making mood so I'm suspiciously active now #Anyway feel free to share your favourites if you want! #This video is almost an entire embodiment of that super old post except I replaced one scene #I added Gabe's promotion to general because this scene has been growing so much on me #I mean I always loved it and I literally squealed when I watched it for the first time but somehow I'm even softer to it now #The way his eyes sparkle as he's listening to Elena he's just so happy #and his parents are there for him #even Roberto!!! #They're so proud of him 😭 #and Elena is too! #And me aksjnskfkkd #Honestly I love many many Gabe's scenes but those ones just hit me emotionally #(well except for the 10th position I just love sassy Gabe lol) #And all the scenes illustrating his bravery just deserve their own video calling #'Gabe being damn selfless hero for I don't know how many minutes straight' #It reminds me I wanted to make a compilation of Gabe's body language bc I noticed he makes that 'pfft' sound #and crosses his arms across his chest way too often #He also rubs his neck/back of his head when he feels uncertain or awkward #(This is probably natural for everyone but I didn't notice other characters doing it often) #This is absolutely random but he also held his palm (like his whole palm) on his hip at least two times and it made him look very fancy lol #But I'll probably never make it because those are very minor things and honestly it's kinda weird akusndkfk #Anyway returning to the video Gabe is just such a good person I can't #And yeah about that ‘pfft’ sound to be fair he doesn’t make it way too often and I’m pretty sure it was only in season 1 #but I memorized it so it still was often lol #Gabe was a sassy eighteen years old guy

Gonna work on knocking out some of the bigger comms from my queue this weekend, and when I've completed them I'll likely be opening a couple Skeb-style slots via VGen!

Basically I want to offer some quick, coloured sketches just to cover pet necessities and my internet bill at the very least, and I want to also be able to experiment with a rougher sketching style (since I have the tendancy to make my 'sketches' look like finished pieces... lol...)

Also super interested to see if this Skeb-style of working (i.e. limited to 0 communication from the moment of ordering until receipt of the comm) would be easier on me for quick, experimental styles like this... so stay tuned!!

#azulitytext #also it'll be the first time in literal years that i'll be promoting comms via tumblr #but such is the necessary action given that twitter is sinking rapidly #and my reach on twitter has dwindled considerably - not that i'm super popular by any means but #that whole call out fiasco made people unfollow me #but even after the fact i keep going down in numbers and my engagement hasn't been as high #it's very demoralizing considering this is my primary source of income #but anyway... lol

every year someone else in my family or childhood social circle turns to religious lunacy after their life starts to go to shit or they hit rock bottom and everyime it feels like watching a car crash but going "ok!" hoping they wont fall too far down the cult hell <3

#and like #ive actually been there lol im not judging #i thankfully had enough support that i didn't fully get absorbed into the church and the worldviews they parrot (completely unrelated #to the religion too) in my search for something that could help #and my little cousin had a similar experience and came to me about it because he was scared of “ending up” like his mom #since he knows i still sometimes go with her for church events and when im feeling bad but disagree with so much of what their organization #and social circle promotes and how she completely changed her behaviors in such a short period of time and got WORSE in her mental health #and it was a good talk! i hadnt felt close to him in ages it was nice #but my point is I'm not judging them #it just feels like this is becoming TOO MUCH of a trend in the family #hope the others get out of their zealot phase unscathed #my older cousin has been much more normal lately than he was in his first few years of converting to islam #he was such a stereotype #but converting or being interested in a new belief system isn't a negative thing it's just too commonly the peak of a nervous breakdown <3 #which leaves people vulnerable to cultish behaviors <3

A scene from a fanfiction I wrote called "Prey" I did for Halloween. I'm so happy how this came out, it's almost exactly how I envisioned the scene! Story Summary: Under house arrest in Casey's farmhouse up in Massachusetts, the four brothers are incapable of partaking their usual Halloween traditions. Fed up with being cooped up, the boys decide to sneak out in the middle of the night while the adults are asleep. Only to discover some dark secrets hidden within the once beautiful, peaceful woods that will either drive them to insanity or kill them. . . if they don't kill each other first, that is. If anyone is interested in reading it you can find it Here ---> archiveofourown.org/works/4233… Or Here ---> www.fanfiction.net/s/14182924/… (Although I do recommend the first link since that one is much further along. Lol) [I do not own TMNT.]

#Halloween special #spooky #creepy forest #scary #horror #tmnt #tmnt fanfiction #tmnt 2003 #teenage mutant ninja turtles #Had fun with a new brush! #I love this brush! #Also I think this is the first human I've done in a long time #And of course it would be some creepy lady #Here I go with the self promotions again LOL #But I loved this scene

Fic: he's all over me (but i'm into it)

Main pairing: Robb Stark x Theon Greyjoy

Summary: During his teenage years, Robb had been a big fan of boyband Four Kingdoms and of bad boy Theon Greyjoy in particular. He never would’ve been able to predict that he would ever get to meet Theon, let alone work for him. Of course, Robb is a professional — the Kingsguard Agency wouldn’t have hired him if he weren’t — and he will do everything in his power to protect Theon as he takes his first steps as a solo artist after a five-year break.

However, coming face-to-face with his teenage crush on a daily basis proves too hard to resist, even for Robb. Especially when he gets to know the real Theon…

Setting: This story is set in a modern version of Westeros in which Theon used to be in a band with Harry Hardyng, Gerris Drinkwater, and Loras Tyrell. Robb is assigned as Theon’s bodyguard, Asha is his manager, and Wex somehow finds the time to be a DJ prodigy while annoying the shit out of Theon and Robb all day.
