i think the barbie movie would have a profound psychological impact on hua cheng

prev comic / next comic / follow for still more hualian barbie movie content because i am not done

bonus angsty version 🎉 i hate love expressions just a couple tiny lines on the mouth and eyebrows and it goes from silly to sad

:(

#this is a haha hua cheng devoted joke but idk it’s nice to think about how much of his identity and self worth is placed on xie lian #obviously since he was 10 most of his major life choices were to serve the crown prince #but in the interval time he became one of the most dangerous men in the world and decided it was his responsibility to create a ghost haven #he works on artistic mastery and alternatively brokers deals with and evades assassination attempts by heaven #if asked i think he would say he only does good for dianxia’s sake (What Would Dianxia Do) and is actually a bad person #and similar stuff about his combat and art skills #theres a question here about how much of his success is due to being such a determined person and how much #of it is luck from ‘the savior’ reversing the star of solitude #how much hua cheng is left when you take away xie lian? #he would say nothing #xie lian would say a billionaire genius playboy philantrophist etc #tgcf looooooves to talk about destiny and free will and so do i #all this to say if it was in character for hua cheng to cry at a movie hed be sobbing #this can be read as pre or post confession btw #the poll decided which version of the comic was the ‘main version’ above the cut #tgcf #art #comic #hualian #hua cheng #xie lian #tian guan ci fu #heaven official's blessing #hob #mxtx #my art #barbie #barbie movie #tgcf meme #lmao

May I present to you a concept -- bazaars being a feature of Downtown, in 2099

#aesthetic #i've got to make a tag for lore stuff. but here. have this <3 #i've said it before and i've said it again #haven city is a HUGE inspiration for me for what i picture nueva york to be like #although i'd argue the krimzon guard were WAY worse than the public eye #and that's saying a lot #hc

do you ever think abt how objectively cool being a person is

#like we just learn things!!! from each other!!!!!!! #so many things ive picked up because a friend did them #i used to type with full capitalization and grammer. now i literally just say 'u' sometimes #i picked up keysmashing from a discord friend #my emoji usage is so influenced by mutuals. hi haven #i picked up the fuckin. waaaaaa thing from one of you i know it #and this is just online stuff!!!!! #the way my handwriting looks. how i do math. the way i talk. the way i talk WITH my hands #all of that is learned #isnt that incredible

I love the Grey Whiskey/Ritewine/Conscription Ale bottles from Inquisition, so reblog and tell me what your Hero of Ferelden's drink and label would be

#elly.txt #dragon age #oops all wardens #Harriet's says 'Highever Fortified: Best Served Cold' and it's a mix of all the sweet fruity things she can find #Yulita's is actually just the nicest bottle she was able to steal from wherever they've been recently #the label says 'Top Shelf - No Charge' and she resticks the same label on every new bottle #Iris has as close to pure alcohol as she can get but it says 'Disinfectant. DO NOT DRINK.' #Caradoc's started off saying 'Halla piss' and it was whatever the Dalish most commonly drink (I see cider as a common HC) #but post Haven he crosses that out and rewrites it as 'Andraste's sacrifice' because he put dragon blood in it for his reaper stuff #Phaeron's says 'Malevolent Spirits' and its usually just hard liquor no mixers that he pretends isnt unpleasant to drink #Dorach's says 'Better than dust' and its just whatever he can get #I still dont know what Rendri's would be

There’s something bitter sweet about hanging up the lab coat and putting on a new blazer… shame we’re forced to obtain money rather than results.

Goodbye science, and hello business world.

#I’ve worked in science for 3 years now and the competition is insane and tbh I don’t know if it’s worth it anymore #I gotta get out there and try new stuff #if I hate it then oh well back to study I go #haven says things #late night posting

I just realized I don't want gender neutral bathrooms and changing rooms just for gender reasons. I don't even want them just for practicality reasons, or just for economic reasons.

I want gender neutral hygiene spaces because, in my experience*, women who are bursting to get out of a sports bra and/or pee are wont to say unkind things and excuse it as "between us girls", and men do not wash properly if they think the bro code protects them.

#gender equality #equal rights #diversity #trans rights are human rights #chronic pain #chronic illness #*a shocking number of venues think having one bathroom per gender operational in an entire massive building is good enough #even if all the elevators are broken #this includes my own employer #and the one before that #on the upside #I've checked in five european countries #very very few people continue making a fuss about you being in the wrong bathroom if you say “I need to PEEEEEE” and keep walking #we're all human #we all get the urgency of the moment #including that one bathroom attendant in Amsterdam Main Station #thank you for not making me pee myself in public sir #yes I noticed the men's stalls were also all occupied #I've learned to work around such things on days my mobility is limited but thank you for your concern #that being said #transphobes have a lot of stuff they're weird about #them insisting we should strive to limit our options to piss-scented cave or grotto walls literally smeared with blood is just extra yikes #I don't care what silly fairy tales the cishets have dreamt up about you #you are in public and what you're doing is nasty #wipe your ass #think before you speak #meanwhile every unisex bathroom I've ever been to has been a haven of cleanliness and peace #every unisex changing room has been an oasis of pleasant conversation with a 70% reduction in noxious deodorant clouds #gender was invented by big bathroom to sell more bathrooms #and it made bathrooms worse for everyone

ngl it bothers me that even among all the "x is guilty of y" wank, nmj's attitude towards even non-combatant wens and participation in the siege of the burial mounds just... flies under the radar? lxc gets more shit for it and he wasn't even there

Yup! I think people expect more of lan xichen because he's a "good" and "moral" and "kind" character. also generally people judge characters who try and fail or try but not hard enough to stop a bad thing more than they judge the ones actually doing the bad thing. As much as I love cql I think having jgy and sms show up at the burial mounds, and having jzn be the one onscreen hunting down wen, and having exclusively jin and yao cultivators at the camp, encourages people to forget that nie mingjue is the OG wen exterminator. he is the one who shoots down any possibility of anyone associated with Qishan being granted mercy or amnesty. he is the one who insists they can't pardon the civilians because they're guilty too and also what if they grow up to take revenge. he's super into the archery competition.

and like. ok wen ruohan killed his dad but that's where it ends for him. this is excessive in the same way jgs's actions post war are excessive. the lan and jiang have every reason to be callous here considering their seats were burned and their people murdered and brutalized, but somehow they can muster a little "hey maybe this is a little much guys," and still get shit for not doing enough meanwhile mr. upright and just is insisting that even the kids and the old people gotta die.

he has so much in common with xue "i wouldn't even leave a dog alive" yang but noooOOOOoooo the actor's eyes got misty therefore he must be ~soft~ or some other bullshit.

we need to start talking about nmj the way ppl talk about jgy like "it's ok to like this Complex Character but why do all the stans woobify him like you can admit he did bad things and still like him uwu."

#untamed stuff #shameless jiggy apologism #every day i lose more respect for nie mingjue #to be clear i am not saying this to dunk on xue yang #just to point out that he does not have the monopoly on #a member of your family harmed me therefore i will kill anyone vaguely associated #with you AT ALL #and it's inch-resting how many people like #hate xue yang for doing this and think nmj was like. a good guy #also. the amount of fics that have him being like. Fun Uncle #or like safe haven #for lan sizhui aka wen yuan #as if he is not like #the primary reason this kids ID has to be kept secret here ffs

there is so much life beyond this moment.

happiness exists, and you will find it, even if it takes a while.

#haven says stuff #there is joy beyond the hard stuff

I'm really really triggered right now!!! but I know that this feeling will pass, I just gotta stick it through. so instead I'll just distract my silly little brain with my silly little phone until I don't feel like running into traffic

#haven says stuff #i just needed to idk verbalize the emotion where nobody ik irl would see it so I'm just gonna leave this here #bpd is a bitch

answered the gender q in a phone survey today with nb (diverse/misc/various as they say here). first time i´ve done that out loud 😮‍💨 

#like i´ve checked that box online before #but haven´t really said it to another person #felt pretty good #vocally rejecting the binary booyah #couple weeks ago i told one of my fav cousins who was in town for a night that i´m pan/bi #which in a roundabout way before knowing about pan i´ve always told anyone who would listen since my teens #but these days there´s a label for not caring abt people´s gender and back then i didn´t know bi also encompassed that #the binary has always been the enemy lol #anyway #seems it´s coming out weeks over here #not that i was ever in any closet #but saying it felt big enough to share #funny thing is that was the most useful part of the survey #no to all options sorry lol but it was worth it for me #personal stuff #lgbt abc #don´t even quite know which label i prefer atm #agender or genderfluid or multi or... but that´s all still nb or diverse so whatever #genderschmender

YEAH I've noticed in the older games that with how much tougher it is to over level and how dense and linear lot of in-between areas are, it really does feel like you've been fighting for your life in the woods and have finally found the next town. The town-to-town survival feeling is something I've always enjoyed, it kinda adds to this feeling that you are on a journey with nothing but your animal buddies. Unlike more open world games like scarvi and pla, if you want to turn back then unless you know fly you have to backtrack through tall grass with your likely already exhausted pokemon and risk a team wipe. Each town feels like a safe haven that you're tracking mud into lol

Once in ruby I was like. barely surviving getting through an area. I NEEDED a town and I was in an absolutely punishing area. powerful wild pokemon, trainer encounters that were mandatory and jumped out at you when you through you were in the clear, and all but one of my pokemon were completely out of pp on all damaging moves. making it to that town made me feel like my life just got saved lol.

ok like this was about specifically the amount and variety of stuff available in an abundant and diverse economy like veilstone city vs other dinky towns but honestly YEAH. REAL. it really is a dangerous game with the way that most routes require you to go through tall grass in at least a few areas, or caves. trainers too although that’s a one-time only thing but you can’t escape from those so gghhhhhhhhh. and some of these routes can be really long too. it really is such a risk and ordeal traveling places and it adds a nice touch of realism. do you spend your expensive potions and healing items for safety, or do you take a risk and run as fast as you can to the next town hoping you’ll be fine? ough. the fact that teleportation, even to places you’ve already been, isn’t available until you’ve completed a good chunk of the game really makes things feel different. like i’m excited to get it but also i know i’ll then get too lazy to take the long way and i miss out on grinding opportunities and such that way. plus it’s cool

#asks #vivi-mire #girl help #peach plays pokémon platinum #like veilstone city feels like the first proper city. like the kind of pokémon i’m used to where you can just Buy Stuff You Need #as opposed to hopelessly flailing around in the wilderness hoping you get lucky and stumble across good items by chance #like all the other cities feel like that even #but yeah as for the health of your mons i totally agree w what you’re saying each town is such a safe haven
