BOY WATCH boy alert 🚨🚨🚨🚨

Felsic is done! 🔥 I made him in part to finish off a plush tutorial that i have in the works, and i'm still haunted by accidentally destroying his figure so now he can live on in plush form.

Felsic is SO cuddly since i used a new type of silky stuffing and mochi minky in places. like oh my god hugging him feels so comforting. its part of why i omitted all of his spikes because he's going to be more of a hugging plush than just a display one haha.

#my art #plush #plushie #oc #oc art #oc plush #also not to follow up those tags with a WILD 180 to crazyville #but yall know me and my life by now #im so happy that 1) i was able to finish him #and 2) i could get pics of him rn since i was Hospital yesterday #its nothing super serious or related to my chronic conditions #just some really bizarre chronic nausea and abdominal pain but as of today its hopefully on the mend #for the past week ive been floorbound which is part of why i made felsic so cuddly and comforting AND was able to haul ass on him

[moreaugriffins]

instead of doing maths revision today (well i did do some, but not much), I drew the Brigadier, because i kinda miss drawing the UNIT gang

(as a british lad, I know barely anything about guns. As a UNIT era fan, Im pretty sure the Brig never uses a gun that looks like this. I don't care, I just wanted to draw him and draw the pose)

#doctor who #classic doctor who #brigadier lethbridge stewart #still trying to wrap my head around perspectives with body parts and stuff. even with references it's hard #but my partner liked the side profile so ☺️ #fun fact! though nicholas courtney had to do mandatory service in the army #(and even though he was put down as 'officer material') #he never learned to shoot a rifle for the 1 1/2 yrs he was in the army - he learned liked 2 weeks after his service #(he got scarlet fever early on and was in hospital/recuperating for like 4 months and then they kinda just forgot to teach him lol)

All jokes and snark aside, it's deeply troubling how spiteful the script is for the "conclusion" of the Dex story and how insistent it is to gaslight us for the Bensons' benefit.

And that's what this is - gaslighting. From 2022 to 2023, Dex was a plant AGAINST Sonny. He got information on jury tampering, he taped a smuggled arms delivery, he's been in the know and has collected information to destroy the kingpin from the inside out. Not to mention the manipulation Michael wanted to employ over shared child abuse. This was ongoing for a YEAR to a YEAR-AND-A-HALF. And that only furthered when Joss joined in. This wasn't a blip, this was a continued grudge.

And then, when Carly found out and (rightfully) chewed out her idiot children, that's when it shifted, so from 2023 to early 2024, SIX MONTHS AT THE MOST, we saw a nothingburger loser be paid by Sonny to be a mob goon and paid by Michael to be a...mob goon. Dumb. And the show is acting like this plan was always the intent and should be the one that is worth acknowledging. But here's the thing - it's not.

As Sonny said, Dex came in under false pretenses and now that the jig is up, he's a massive liability. In this story, Sonny is the victim, not Dex and certainly not the Bensons. This whining and crying that big, bad Sonny will ruin everything and how big, bad Nina is the catalyst for Michael's two-year-long temper tantrum when we saw the Bensons bitch, piss, and moan over yet another CarSon cheating fiasco is what we saw. Not this "altruism" to shield Sonny and look out for him because he "lost a step." That's fucking insulting. All of this is fucking insulting.

#general hospital #this is part 1 of my formal rant #this tomfoolery and spitefulness will not stand #you can't gaslight me into thinking this plot was meant to make sonny look like a demon #at least more of a demon than he usually is

Thinking about the death animation in the hospital. How the fireflies grab Ellie bridal style out of Joel’s arms as he screams “No! Let go of her! Let go of her!” As they push him down with their boots and shoot him in the face

Literally down to his last breath he fights for her life 🕳👩‍🦯

#not a lot of people die in the hospital #especially in the way that leads to this animation #but it is there and it is #sad #they like kick him in the back of knees #or shoot him in the foot or something #and then they grab Ellie #and Joel’s arms are STILL extended out #trying to keep a hold on her #the last of us part 1 #joel miller #ellie williams

While I don't know much about it, I would probably bet there are tons of issues with the cruise industry that would make me not actually appreciate it broadly speaking - HOWEVER, I do really love a lot of the interior design of some cruise ships.. How it's almost like a miniature city crammed into one area. Multiple sections with all different aesthetic designs, a variety of shops, restaurants, activity centers, community seating areas, communal use spaces (like gyms, laundry, pools, cafeteria/buffet (which I always love anywhere)), etc. etc. but then also everyone has a little nice clean comfortable looking space of their own to retreat back to if they'd like to be alone. Maybe it's something akin to the idea of 'walkable cities', where everything you could ever want to do is kind of right there just a short walk away? I also especially love how so much stuff is stacked on top of other stuff, a layered cluster of spaces, bright open atriums, and when they're set up with little walkways down the center between a bunch of rooms so it's almost like a mini city street with apartments lining it, etc.. They often seem like they'd be SUCH a cool place to live permanently, IF only something identical was just built on solid land instead lol

#currently watching a channel on youtube where some person is reviews/tours cruise ships or something #and I'm just like wow the whole traveling part would be miserable hell and I would hate trying to get off of the stupid ship everyday #and see seomthing and make it back in time or etc. but OOOOO THE BEDROOMS! love the TINY minifrige!! eeee .. lol #perhaps just an extension of of my obsession with communal spaces. also love hospitals. nursing homes. hotels. AIRPORTS!!! #thats just how humans are meant to live for me. my ideal situation is that sot of thing like big beautiful bright communal places #but i also hate socializing i just like the idea of like. the entire communal world is in front of me but i also have my own little space t #retreat back to. youre not forced to participate. but the world is right outside your window if you WANT to go. ALSO people watching is fun #Plus i think part of what i hate most about Going Places and Doing Things is the commitment of it and traveling #especially in america where its like to get ANYWHERE it's a 3 hour drive or 15 min drive #or 20 min drive or 1 hr bus ride or blah blah. the idea of having plenty of fun little things to do that are all solidified #in ONE single complex that is also where your room is would actually encourage me to do things more because if #my health issues start flaring up or i get overwhelmed or etc. i can literally just... retreat back to my room that is a reasonably short #walk away. instead of like ''UGH now not only do i feel too bad to finish my excursion but ALSO i have a 40 min car ride ahead of me'' #etc. Not saying that even in that situation I would become Super Extravert Thing Doer like i still LOOVE a quiet lifestyle mostly alone do #ing the same 5 repetitive tasks over & over again working on specific hobbies. but just that i WOULD go out SLIGHTLY more and do Activities #if the activities were already brought to ME. like a cruise ship layout where you have your little room private space but when you feel #like it on your own terms you could venture out and go to a little cafe or a swimming pool or etc. WITHOUT even having to leave #or get in a car and travel. just walk form your room to The thing. amazing.. ground breaking.. BUT especially the layers are important. I #dont mean just 'have the same features but in a way that theyre on land' I mean LITERALLY translate the EXACT layout of the cruise ship but #on ground instead. Like I want a full community cafeteria on the middle floor of my apartment complex. there should be a pool & waterslide #on the roof. A community games room on the 4th floor. a library right under my bedroom. etc. etc. Though maybe ideally I would say #add a little extra space like most people couldn't live their entire lives in a cruise ship room layout. But maybe just have the rooms expa #nded to the average size of like a 3 bedroom apartment. and then still stack them on top of each other.. More spacious decks so people can #have some plants (but also a community garden somewhere too). ANYWAY... Idk I just always love the aesthetics. I would love to tour a cruis #ship but like NOT go on a cruise EVER lol.. but just.. SEE the space. I love interiors so much. Also makes me think of worldbuilding like. #I think cruise ships could also be good inspiration for underground stacked cities in layers. things like that. OR just actually the fant #asy world version of a cruise ship lol. Though Nanyevimi's oceans are all so treacherous that non-inland water travel is avoided as much as #possible (even if it's more tedious to travel on the land) and would rarely be done for leisure. still.. river cruises could exist.. >:3c #In Nanyevimi the oceans are akin to how Outer Space is on earth (seen as a mysterious unexplored dangerous area etc).. a cruise ship of #rich elves setting out on a Groundbreaking First Ever Ocean Cruise & it just goes Wrong like a sci-fi 'trapped in space' type thriller LOL

Ooh, oh no... The hospital act of TLOU. I'm gonna be upfront: least favorite part of the game.

I really wanted to like it (of course I did; I paid $70 dollars for this game), but it never hit me as hard as all the other acts. With the acts that came before this one, I looked at all the little nuances in interactions between the characters, reading notes, looking at whatever's in Joel & Ellie's backpacks--just loving what this game fed to me.

But the hospital act felt rushed to me.

Let me start with my first, ongoing grievance: the Fireflies.

I get where they were going with this, the moral dilemma they were trying to set up: should Joel save his daughter at the cost of the world? But the Fireflies don't seem very smart. I won't even talk about the viability of them creating a vaccine (or cure, rather) with the fungus on Ellie's brain. For the purposes of this piece, the vaccine will 100% work. So where does that leave us now?

The Fireflies seem to have a streak of malpractice. At the University of Colorado, players will pick up recordings from a dead Firefly. Long story short, that Firefly released infected monkeys just...into the world. This same Firefly also talks about the long stretch of time (5 years) that passed between the last scientific breakthrough. This does not inspire confidence.

Fast forward to the hospital act. Two Fireflies encounter a man doing CPR on a child and they...knock him out with the butt of their guns? I'll clarify I have a personal vendetta against people that are particularly a part of an organization hitting people with the butt of their guns, but outside of that, this is stupid. Joel is clearly trying to resuscitate Ellie, so even if they "didn't know who [he] was", knocking him unconscious doesn't make sense.

And then Joel wakes up and Marlene drops the bomb that they're currently taking Ellie's brain out. Okay. That was very quick. I'm sure they had time to run several complete tests and cross their t's and dot their i's. It makes complete sense that in the time between Joel being brought to the hospital and regaining consciousness, they figured out that removing her brain was the best way to create that vaccine. I'm sure keeping Ellie alive would have absolutely no benefits and going straight to killing her is the best option.

Additionally, that one Firefly that eggs Joel on? What is with these guys and abusing their power? They can't compete with FEDRA on that front, but it's still bad.

Finally, I always wondered how they were going to distribute that cure to the greater public. They're quite ostracized by FEDRA, if I remember correctly, and creating a cure is only a part of a problem. It's not like the current government hasn't displayed a tendency to hog resources, so working with them seems like a no-go.

None of what we've seen of the Fireflies makes me think they're competent.

My second grievance is Marlene. I liked her at the start, but what we see in the last part soured me on her. She isn't very compassionate to Joel's situation, but he's grown and a murderer (of both baddies and innocents in his hunter days), so I don't have a problem with that. He's not the most compassionate either. It's moreover her claiming to have monopoly over caring about Ellie. Girl, what?

Of course, we saw little of Ellie and Marlene's relationship as a function of the game. It was about Joel and Ellie sticking together when their loved ones either died or, in the case of Bill, simply refused to come with them. Marlene passed her along, and we just kind of hear how Ellie cares about Marlene. We also receive letters and recordings about Anna and Marlene's relationship in the late game. I get why it is this way, as it sets up the player to care about Ellie just as Joel did, but I do wish we got to see some more of Marlene's relationship with Ellie.

My third grievance is this idea of choice. Ellie did not choose to die. We might have some idea of if she would (she's really happy to think of herself as the cure to all mankind), but she didn't and all throughout the game, there is this emphasis on continuing to survive. Finding a reason to keep going. I would not say that Joel took this choice away from her, because never was this dilemma presented to her. Joel woke up, found out they were going to murder Ellie, and intervened so that did not happen. You can't choose to do anything if you're dead.

And then Joel takes her to get some McDonald's...

The problem I see people take with Joel that I can actually understand is him lying to her. Him lying has the potential to completely blow up in his face, and this concerns not only the cure, but Marlene as well. I wholeheartedly agree with him saving her, but this is a bit more dubious.

But here's the thing: beyond his selfish reasons for doing so (such as absolving himself of guilt), Joel has some legitimate reasons to lie to her. First and firstmost, Ellie has been through a lot at an extremely young age. Seen a lot of loved one's die, carries some survivor's guilt along with that. She does not need or deserve to have "I could have saved the world, if only I died" hanging over her head. Ellie deserves a happy childhood--or a happy remainder of her childhood, because she lost quite a bit and had to deal with David, among other things. The damage this truth has the potential to do to her is reason enough to lie.

Second of all, she does not need to know that the same woman she probably came to see as a second mother was willing to put her to death on a doctor's word. I believe in science and medicine, but maybe get a second opinion on that?

So yeah... When it comes to Joel vs. the Fireflies, it's no contest to me.

I should add: I would've loved if at least one named POC character survived. Kind of crazy all of them died, and as a non-white player, it didn't escape my notice. It also made me sad when Henry wasn't mentioned among the people they lost. I mean, Henry did protect/look after Ellie during that short part in the sewer. I think he should've been mentioned.

[sapphic-story]

I want to write a story that is long and weird and confusing and out of order and feels like it changes every time you read it and BY JOD I shall do so!!!!

#this is about #hospital food #part of me keeps saying ‘this is a waste of time write a traditional story!’ but I want to have funnn and this is fun to me #analyze this made up song for clues about a disappearance of hundreds of people #is it important or is it just what someone was listening to at 13:38/1:38pm??? who knows! #writeblr #ergodic literature #<<< my current parasocial relationship because I’m googling everything about it but still haven’t bought/borrowed house of leaves

[aeirithgainsborough]

people who talk in their meta defending tlou2 about how joel was selfish and took away ellie’s choice and say he was morally reprehensible and massacred an entire hospital (no he did not lmao) so ofc he should have died he had it coming and it was deserved and made narrative sense are the ones who don’t understand nuance, actually. that whole prologue is a manipulation you know that right?

#and you fell for it!! #the game opens in a way that’s instantly working to make you forget the actual ending in part 1 and its ambiguity and its stance on what #was wrong and what was right #and you fell for it! #even the way joel talks lmao his expression the way he said i saved her is giving villain caricature #the piles of bodies littering the amazingly clean looking hospital 😭😭 #SIS IT AINT LIKE THAT #and many players stealthed the whole hospital #and then were told in part 2 oh no you killed them all #it shouldn’t have given you the option to stealth then????? #the game is like you must be violent to defend yourself and ellie or you’ll both die there’s no other way to do this journey across our #dangerous county #and then you let part 2 punish joel and ellie and yourself for it #and then you have the audacity to say ppl who didn’t like it just don’t understand the themes they aren’t nuanced enough #or they don’t have enough empathy which fyi that’s ableist to say #i hate the dismissals of valid criticisms of the game #im not too stupid to get the themes i get them i understood them and i did not like them Lmao #anti tlou2 #the last of us spoilers

wtf @ the new csm chapter

#ooogh a few of my predictions came true. was not fucking expecting the amputation though what the fuck. also fumiko kill yourself #'nothing short of a war will compromise this facility' OOOOOOOOOOGGGHHHHHH BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK BARK THAT WAS SO HOT #asayoru please save my sson........ tho in doing so theyre gonna find out that csm is denji so... rip #wonder if they even know csm is there (maybe fami told them?) and/or theyre just going there to #release all the devils they have captive there #to cause chaos #and denji/csm is just an added bonus. if you wanna call it that. what if they go in expecting chainsaw man #and they just see a broken denji on the hospital bed. what then. #cc #denji #csm #.txt #also........ please reze be here please please please #i think shes held captive here and then gets released by asayoru along with denji and whatever other nonsense theyre gonna let free #cuz i doubt she'd agree to have been working with public safety. i doubt she'd go to the chainsaw man church either. #so i think post part 1 she probably went rogue but maybe she was captured before she could escape #i mean there are some people thinking thats not asayoru at the end but reze. i see you and i hear you. i am still betting on asayoru tho. #feel free to clown on me if im wrong tho. i just think reze is being held at public safety like denji is. if they could even get to her #also i love yoshida he is so different from when we first met him hes so resigned and just. dead. #like contrast this scene with the last time he had denji captured. he was all smug back then but now hes just so resigned and defeated

It’s not like you’re growing an extra head, woman! You’ve got a plastic bag under your dress! (1 of 2)

Jack, Robert and Katie clean up the house (and add flowers) to prepare for Diane getting out of hospital. Robert and Jack talk about Frank and their concern over letting Victoria play outside when he’s just there. Len is frustrated about the hassle Frank is getting (he’s done his time) and has no plans to go to the village meeting to get shouted at. Diane is self-conscious about her body and doesn’t want to be touched. Note: One scene has been moved up to keep the 2nd clip focused on the Frank Bernard story.

Milgram Moments That Keep Me Up At Night #1 - The Glass

So in Shidou Kirisaki's song Throw Down, there's this moment at the end where Shidou wakes up in a bed, and he's surrounded by glass.

Broken glass, specifically. But something about this bothers me, because... I dont know what the fuck this is supposed to be. What is up with that first shot. Is it a sculpture? Is it representative of a body???

Why does this part have a button/disc/circular object on it???? Is there paper under the glass and if so what is it????

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY SHOTS OF THIS NON-DESCRIPT GLASS???? Are these clues to something bigger? What am I looking at Shidou what am I Looking At please someone tell me.

#milgram #shidou kirisaki #there's other parts of this scene that I have Thoughts on. e.g. his curtains and the way the light cuts through him feels like-- #--he's not sleeping in his bed but a Bed at the hospital he works at. Cut to next scene where he's in the exact same position but-- #--looking at the flower wife construct and the lighting is cutting through it the same way too. #But yeah the glass is haunting me because yes it's probably Symbolism™️ but why so many detailed specifically composed shots. Why. #genuinely would love to hear from the crowd here and see what you think. Is it painfully obvious and solved 1 year ago do let me know sdfghj

Finally changed my blog title for the first time since I made this blog 😭. Btw sidenote can you guys believe that was almost 3 years ago

#It's such a small part of the lyrics but I didn't want it to be longer than 1 line of text #But yeah. It's lyrics from a song that has been much more important to me #A song I first heard when I was 5. The first song I ever remember listening to #With such a memorable beat that despite not knowing what the song was called or knowing any of the lyrics #The beat would still occasionally pop into my head. And I didn't know how I could possibly look up what the song was #It would continue doing this every now and again until I eventually found out what the song was. When I was around 14 years old. #Via memes on YouTube of all things DSJHGKJDSGH #It was Feel Good Inc. Initially I was a little hooked but then felt embarrassed about it and stopped listening to it #But then when I was 17 I started listening to a couple of their other songs. And then when I was 18 I started listening to it obsessively #It feels like such a Core Part of me. I ended up finding a shirt for the album at a cheap shop so I got it #And it's funny. SO many people have complimented this shirt. Most recently the person at the hospital checking my blood pressure/weight #BUT YEAH THIS IS A HUGE RAMBLE I JUST. AUGH. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO EMPHASISE HOW PERSONAL THE SONG FEELS TO ME #Iron text
