ok so i was listening to this song like a week ago and i saw this animation clear as day in my mind and i knew i had to try and storyboard it out while i was thinking of it. i wanna do the full song at some point because it is So Very Them-coded but i do not have the time rn and will not for a while (i barely had the time to make this) so for now i just made sure i got the really complicated part out of the way. figured i'd post it because. why not lol
anyway. this is for my Darkest Desire AU story!! it's called Glitching Fates!! i am so normal about it and i have been for years now. it is. so far removed from the source material but i do not care it is very special to me :]
as a sort of summary for what's going on here, the night guard and Will used to be really good friends but they both ended up getting busy with their own lives so they couldn't interact as much, and then the whole Glitchtrap possession thing happens which reunites them but also drives a wedge between them since Will is blindly following Glitchtrap while the night guard is trying to find a way to stop Glitchtrap.
i am so not fucking normal about these characters you all have no idea. oh my god. they have permanent residence in my mind rn. i need people to ask me about them or else I Will Become Violent (/j)
hope y'all liked this, or at least i hope y'all found my passive-agressive notes to myself funny lol. under the cut i typed up all the handwritten ones in case y'all want to read them but can't make out my handwriting
a fuckin uh.. pillar or somethin idk

dismissive wave

pretend this shot doesn't look like total dogshit ok?
hey how did my anatomy manage to get That Much Fucking Worse this far in
there is Something wrong here. i just cannot tell What
Minor thing that really irks me is when people treat the femc route in p3 portable as like the lesser story or like it’s a fanfic where nothing that happens in it is the “true” canon like. Bitch. The femc and everything that happens in her version of the story is just as canon as the male protagonist and everything that happens in his story. And there’s literally been so many fucking versions of p3 at this point like the base game, fes, portable, the movies, stage plays, reload, as well as spinoffs and manga and they all do things differently. I don’t see anyone acting like the base game is more canon than, say, reload so why do they do this with portable? Why can’t the (infinitely superior) version with the female protagonist just be respected for five fucking minutes goddamn
i just think cupid and blondie should get wasted in their dorm room.
cupid ends up an emotional mess and cries while blondie sits trying to comfort her even though she is currently struggling to stay up and keeps spacing out every 10 seconds
five minutes later blondie is desperately trying to stop cupid from calling her ex for a booty call.
after an awkward call where abbey reminds cupid she has a boyfriend which leads to the cherub drunkenly yelling and eventually crying into blondies shoulder, the two girls somehow end up making out on the floor.
blondie wakes up on the front lawn of a school called monster high with the worse hangover ever and heart shaped lipstick marks everywhere and decides maybe the idea of never drinking again (or at least not with cupid) sounds just right.
yes im trying not to be so mean yes im working on my temper but under no section of my Healing Contract does it mention that these things must apply to my sister. in fact if you read the fine print it says im actively allowed to make her miserable. for my mental health
terfs when a study shows literally anything positive about trans people/transitioning: 'hm i think this requires some fact-checking. Were those researchers REALLY unbiased? Because if they were biased this doesn't count and if they weren't knowingly biased they probably were unconsciously biased, woke media affects so much these days. Have there been any other studies on this? Because if there haven't been this could be an outlier and if there have been and they all agree that's a bit odd, why aren't there any outliers, and if there have been and any disagree we really won't know the truth until we very thoroughly analyze them all, will we? Were there enough subjects for a good sample size? Did every single subject involved stay involved through the whole study because if they didn't we should be sure nothing shady was going on resulting in people dropping out. Are we 110% sure all the subjects were fully honest and at no point were embarrassed or afraid to admit they didn't love transitioning to the people in charge of their transition? Are we 110% sure none of the subjects were manipulated into thinking they were happy with their transition? In fact we should double-check what they think with their parents, because if the subjects and their parents disagree it's probably because they've been manipulated but their cis parents have not and are very unbiased. How many autistic subjects were there because if there weren't enough then this doesn't really study the overlap between autistic and trans and if there were too many then we just don't know enough about what causes that overlap to be sure this study really explains being trans and isn't just about being autistic. How many AFAB subjects were there because if there weren't enough this is just another example of prioritizing AMAB people and ignoring the different struggles of girls and women and if there were too many how do we know sexism didn't affect the results. Was the study double-blinded? We all know double-blinded is the most reliable so if this one wasn't that's a point against it even if the thesis literally physically could not be double-blinded. Look i'm not being transphobic, i want what's best for trans people! Really! But as a person who is not trans and therefore objective in a way they cannot possibly be, i just think we should only take into account Good Science here. You want to be following science and not being manipulated or experimented upon by something unscientific, right?'
terfs when they see a study of 45 subjects so old it predates modern criteria for gender dysphoria and basically uses 'idk her parents think she's too butch', run by a guy who practiced conversion therapy, 'confirmed' by a guy who treated the significant portion of subjects who didn't follow up as all desisting, definitely in the category of 'physically cannot double-blind this', completely contradicted by multiple other studies done on actual transgender subjects, but can be kinda cited as evidence against transitioning if you ignore everything else about it: 'oOOH SEE THIS IS WHAT WE'RE TALKIN BOUT. SCIENCE. Just good ol' unbiased thorough analysis. I see absolutely no reason to dig any deeper on this and if you think it's wrong you're the one being unscientific. It's really a shame you've been so thoroughly brainwashed by the trans agenda and can't even accept science when you see it. Maybe now that someone has finally uncovered this long-lost study from 1985, we can make some actual progress on the whole trans problem.'
the thing is, i can't afford an adult assessment/diagnosis and there's no guarantee i would meet the requirements. but also...what accommodation could i feasibly get? i'm good at course design, at curating assignments, at one-on-one interactions with students. i'm a good writer and a good presenter. but i need at least one hour of recovery for every hour of interaction with people i don't know. i need to be allowed to not make eye contact or smile All The Time. i have a maximum of time i can be "engaged" in planned interactions and after that i need either a buffer (another person, stimulant, non-conversational activity) or the grace to not be socially performative. i need people to be honest with me. i need people to understand how *i* work and work with me, not against me. i need clearly articulated expectations. i need things in writing, because my hearing/memory sometimes glitch. on paper i'm an excellent option for a department, but in person i'm "weird" or "not engaged" or "not a good fit." there is no accommodation that doesn't involve academics questioning their racist, cissexist, classist, ableist biases, and remodeling their whole approach to the job market. which they're not gonna do! so i just have to hope that i can garner enough other things in my favor (an article published, an intervention that seems useful, glowing student evals) so that a department will overlook my "quirkiness" and give me some kind of chance.
"Explain it to me like I'm stupid.. but I am actually stupid I don't get it please I do need you to explain this like I am a 6 year old child that has to learn how to write the letter A for the first time"
every so often Lucy just casually mentions an experience we've had and it's like "excuse me, what the actual fuck???" because it's always the kind of thing that's like, deeply fucked up and obviously traumatic and that our brain has respressed up to this point but they mention it like it's just any random event and the rest of us end up sat there like "hey are you fucking alright?" at which point I think they realise that this was probably actually a big deal
it feels kind of dumb to complain about something as niche as bad prosopagnosia representation? but also every time i see this condition depicted in fiction they do it so, so stupidly
