oh god,,,,,, oh god
it’s all about the
you are the only one who saves yourself. the only one saving yourself. you pick yourself up and are that steady hand that keeps you above water
and yet
and yet you are also dragging g yourself back down. you are not who you are without weights. without memory with casualty without grief without horror without tragedy.
in le poids de soi-même you are given the picture of humanity. the picture of selflessness and hope for a better future. in front of the main courthouse at the edge of the river there stands a man with another in his arms. and the man is strong, but not without showing some effort, as it would not be without fatigue to accomplish such an act, as save a man from presumably drowning as we see here. and the other man, weak, weary; barely clinging in to his saviour. but then you look a little closer. at the men. at their face. and you see. you see their face is the same. for they are the same man. and what does it mean? to be both your own saviour and your own burden? to be the only thing you’re hanging on to and the only thing dragging you down. and what becomes of it? because we’ll you’re left in a paradox. to let go is death. dooming yourself eternally. but to hold on? to persist to struggle to endure incessantly and carry on? at what cost? at what end?
at that is life, is it not?

if he doesn’t mail you a whole ass windmill after the first date what’s even the fucking point
i think everybody should play sun haven. it’s like fantasy stardew but imo the relationship writing (at least what i’ve seen from wornhardt’s) feels so much more genuine than stardew? i don’t know!! but i feel like you get much closer/interact more with the NPCs than in stardew valley, so maybe give it a try if you’re interested 👍
AND ALTHOUGH I LOVE HIM be prepared to be disappointed if you look him up after seeing my art 😭 i’m sorry i tried to capture his essence but i may have failed. he is lovely though i adore windmill husband

I feel like The Father and Hell both understand and experience love in all the worst ways.
The Father sought to create a life form that would follow and love him unconditionally. It wasn't enough that he had a great cosmic kingdom of angels who are unquestioningly loyal, no, he needed something that knew suffering and mortality and the threat of oblivion, and would still find love at the end; love for him above all else. But after numerous implied failures at that, in his desperation, he instead created the threat of eternal damnation to force them to love him in order avert that fate. Lucifer's words must have been like a splash of cold water, but by the time he realized sheer magnitude of suffering he had unintentionally set into motion, it was too late.
He could not destroy Hell; he could not stop the cycle of violence.
That guilt drove him to seek a death that, from the looks of it, eluded him in spite of the hollowness consuming him. And now he is... somewhere, helpless to stop his experiments from consuming one another and themselves in a glorious show of blood and violence.
And then there's Hell itself, who seems to recognize love as an act of violence and cruelty. It is something that derives joy only from the suffering of other living creatures. God gave it so many toys to hurt and break and reform, and Mankind gave it new ones. Why would it understand love as anything but? It gave Minos a facsimile of the son he is most ashamed of, and delighted when he cast it, once more, into a labyrinth. Gabriel flattened all the souls within it's confines beneath his heel and gave those that did bend false hopes.
Now there's V1, tearing its way through the remaining layers and creating a spectacle of violence like nothing Hell has ever witnessed before. How could it not love them all for all the entertainment they've provided?
But deep within its recesses, hidden away from the eyes of Heaven, there was a Gutterman. A machine built for war, who eventually came to love that which it gave it life at the cost of their own. Enough to give the human welded within their coffin the mercy that both Heaven and Hell had denied them; enough to write a single love letter to them, even knowing that it would never be read by its intended recipient.
So, as things turn out, you /can/ teach a machine to love. And they will understand and experience it more sincerely than God or Hell ever could.

okay so listen I have this thought
after seeing the movie twice in theaters (where I could still have missed something), I don’t think there’s any direct mention that Victoria was the one who took Jenny in after her mom died (when she was 6) and her dad disappeared (when she was 8)
I think the 15 years Victoria mentions probably started from when Ted disappears (putting Jenny around 23?), so there’s a lot of time in Jenny’s life where we don’t know who was taking care of her. I suspect the intention was for it to be Victoria unless the ambiguity was on purpose, and Jenny likely did live with her for a time
but maybe not the whole time? maybe there’s somebody else who Ted would leave his darling daughter with if he was about to try a dangerous stunt? somebody who Victoria would easily be able to win custody from, adding to Jenny & Victoria’s animosity? somebody who would raise a kid who would steal some shit from a high security facility while wearing that rad lavender suit?

next up in my revamped kj designs: jet star!! 💫
she is so important to me… the space puppy tattoo is partially because of @eggbagelz’ headcanon which i saw and thought “oh definitely jet would LOVE laika” and the design is (with permission) one of my lovely friend @andpierres’ tattoo flash designs and tattoo tickets are available on his kofi if YOU would like to have a space puppy tattoo on your own skin! :)
as with the last two posts, untextured version under the cut for cleaner details and accurate colors!

i think elden ring will always been my favorite game in terms of environment. every area is so impressive, even the copy-paste stuff manages to be impressive with atmosphere, and the amount of just. stunning-looking locations is wild especially with how natural even the most amazing looking shot you can find is.
just the fact that you unavoidably see this when you walk into leyndell is incredible. one of my favorite environment views in all of the games ive ever played

terfs go climb into a hole and start rotting. animals cannot inherently tell your "biological sex" you are all so fucking stupid. All this post is saying is that animals are not infallible judges of character and some of them make really stupid vibe checks and that people should try not to take it personally. Unless youre a terf in which case they know and they hate you and you should take it personally
re that one post tbh i do want to stress i dont think animals are like magically psychic at knowing your True Gender tbh i think ppl definitely get way too weird about Animal's judgement of ppl.
Sometimes a dog will vibe check a man and the dog will be right and you should listen. but sometimes the dog will vibe check someone for no good reason. sometimes dogs have wack judgement. sometimes dogs have biases influenced by their owners or previous owners. like. there are Racist Dogs. its not the dogs fault, but that doesnt make the bias theyve developed less real, or less potentially hurtful. i dont think we need to like, Cancel Dogs Bc Sometimes Ppl Can Train Them To Be Racist, but we do need to stop perpetuating the idea that a dog's judgement of someone is infallible. theyre not responsible for it and its not their fault its developed, theyre just dogs, they didnt choose it, but that doesnt mean theyre RIGHT lmao. i think its important to stress this for many reasons but in regard to that last post specifically, if youve ever been vibe checked as a gender you arent by a judgy dog its literally not your fault. might not even be the owners fault. not the dogs fault cos like. its a fucking dog. you do kinda have to be the bigger person in that scenario cos the other person is. A Dog.
