ok nope i’m not done @podcastenthusiast and @dancingwiththefae have set off a new round of brainworms i hope you’re proud of yourselves lmao

because like. it’s about the humility, right? it’s about admitting ignorance. it’s about acknowledging that sometimes you, personally, might not be enough to fix something, or someone, or that maybe whatever it is can’t actually be fixed. that it isn’t about fixing.

it’s “why so much makeup? you don’t need it, you’re so beautiful to me” vs “‘do you think i’m sexy?’ and oh god i really did”

it’s “i don’t know how to reach you when you get like this” vs “i don’t know, but i’m here”

it’s “stop making up death wishes and take my lifeline” vs “oh dear god, dear heart, don’t cry”

it’s “something’s sucking out your core and it’s so boring” vs “and now even though you’re mad…that’s ok”

it’s “can’t you see that i’m enough for you, but you don’t want me to be, because that means you’ll actually have to be content” vs “i will wait (for you to get better, for you to tell me what you need) and hope (that it’s still me)”

marbles answers the question “why so sad” with a partner who finally understands what she means when she says “stop asking why i’m sad, it’s enough to know i’m sad”

marbles is what happens when the partner of a mentally ill person stops trying to find a solution to the mental illness and decides to simply love them anyway. to wait, and hope, and sometimes pour them a drink and sit on the kitchen floor with them while they cry, and promise to murder their shitty customers for them. to not say “i’m enough for you” but instead “you’re enough for me, exactly as you are.”

(i know it’s about memory loss and not depression but eh depression can come with memory problems a lot and also sticking by a partner through severe mental or neurological illness looks pretty much the same all through, in the end)

#frothing at the mouth as fucking always #idk i don’t think i managed to rly articulate my thoughts toward the end there but y’all get it #the amazing devil #tad #joey batey #madeleine hyland #i gotta meet them just so i can ask them where the hell they got the AUDACITY #to come into MY HOUSE #and hit me in the FUCKING FACE #edited bc colors are fun and i want the contrasts to be easier to see #also i gotta be very clear: i love both songs #like the couple in lmws hurt each other and talk past each other and fail to stay together #but that love is very real also #sometimes love isn’t enough #i adore that they dive into that

ONE is amazing but I do wish people would stop recommending it as a beginner show. If you're getting into osc I feel like ONE might be one of the worst to start with actually. It relies a lot on the viewer already knowing common object show tropes, such as [object]y names and the reality show format, because the entire point is that it subverts those tropes and gags and tells a deeply sincere & profound story you almost never see in any other object show (minus things like TNM and II season 2). If you go in without any experience with the osc, you're just going to wonder why they used object characters instead of humans, and it can create the expectation of every object show telling a moving story, when really most of them are just silly fun.

#cricket chirping #object show community #osc #one #hfjone #onehfj #hfj one #Again I absolutely adore ONE. It's amazing and a profound work of art #It's just. Not good for beginner osc fans. I'd recommend at least having watched bfdi and ii and maybe one other show before diving into ON

i think out of everything, i will always prefer the aeons over the archons when it comes to gods and the greater ones.

the archons are more human-like in appearance and them mingling w humans or having like, goofy moments makes them more human. im not rlly complaining here btw, just stating facts. they have a clear gender identity and form they go with, a voice, they walk among humans, are just so close etc

meanwhile the aeons are just a mystery. they clearly are no human (so arent the archons but bc of their appeareance etc they just seem more human) but cosmic beings, coming in different shapes, going by a neutral "they" (i still see people refer to nanook as "him" bc of their appearance they chose), seeming more unreachable, they do not speak. the sounds they make are creepy and eerie as hell and jsut give you this feeling of smth otherworldly (IX and HooH are so scary to me but aha always cracks me up askjcb)

youtube

their appearance represent their path/their concept which is honestly the coolest thing ever and i could stare at them for hours studying all the details, making all the connections to their path

sickest designs fr, actual deities that feel like deities. would still smash nanook

#babbles over my morning coffee #this is not a “10 reasons why hsr is better than gnshn” post and i adore nahida and venti to bits #hsr is just so damn good bc it just feels less childish??? idk how to explain but like. its darker so so much darker and i LOVE IT #so much more to comprehend and dive into so much more horrors #babbles #tbd

Total Drama AU/Headcanon: Where everything is the same, except Noah is just as crazy/insane as Izzy and Eva, but he's much better at hiding it (with a sarcastic calm personality) ... Only Izzy, Eva and Owen know his true unhinged colors (and that's why they get along with him so well) .../// Duncan briefly saw it during the Total Drama Island Special Finale, when Duncan grabbed Noah's leg, but Noah escaped, and we didn't see HOW Noah escaped... In this AU, Noah bit Duncan's hand then gave Duncan a silent psychotic grin, which shocked Duncan and gave Noah time to escape (Noah basically pretending the bite and grin never happened) ... In TDWT, imagine if Alejandro ever found out that the sanest one on his Team is only PRETENDING to be sane! 😅

I've seen that one Scary!Noah AU floating about in the main tag lately, and I love the concept. There's so much that could be done with having someone like Noah (scarily smart, mostly motivated by either spite or The Bit, nerfed by his own laziness/apathy/hubris) have the added bonus of Going Apeshit sometimes. Either as a treat to himself, or as the natural consequence of his hidden nature.

It's like that "Izzy Isn't Crazy" theory, but in reverse. "Noah Is Crazy, He's Just Good At Masking".

In this AU, he and Izzy would get on like a house on fire.

Like recognises like, after all; Izzy would clock him as just as unhinged as herself at their first meeting, and probably confront him about his 'game plan' at the first chance she could (maybe that's why she was so quick to swap with Katie? A bid to get herself on the same team as Noah?). Noah would try to deny it at first, because he's supposed to be the 'lazy genius'- slipping from his allotted persona this soon into the competition would jeopardise his strategy!- but Izzy would reassure him that she can practically smell the crazy on him.

He'd live up to his title as 'The Schemer', by means of plotting pranks and other such events with Izzy. She'd use her status as the overt crazy girl to pull them off, and Noah would either help behind the scenes to abate his hunger for chaos, or live vicariously through Izzy's blatant mania whilst revelling in the fact that their plan(s) play out perfectly every time. Imagine how much better Izzy's bear suit prank would've been with a man on the inside- and now imagine how much better it would've been if Noah pretended to get eaten/mauled by bear!Izzy (using smuggled ketchup packets and A Lot Of Screaming to convince the Gophers of his demise)! (He'd play off the incident by blaming the whole thing on Izzy- saying she was the one who used the ketchup, and his screaming was just him being Rightfully Terrified of being eaten. Gotta keep up the charade!)

No one would suspect him either! Who would ever assume that slothful, apathetic Noah who complains about the trials and tribulations of 'hard work', 'effort' and 'physical activity' could be a friend and an accomplice to the unstoppable force of nature that is Izzy? He's always too busy shoving his nose into his book to ever consider befriending the crazy girl, there's no way Noah would even tolerate her! (/s)

I think he'd eventually reveal his true colours to Team E-scope plus Owen once their friendship is cemented off-screen. Noah isn't the trusting type (I'd clarify, but I'd end up writing a whole unrelated essay- maybe another time) and he's habitually secretive- his non-answers in the WT Character Interview and his Sierra-given title of "The Man of Mystery" attest to this- so he'd need to know that his friends are really his friends before letting himself be vulnerable/transparent with them, since any 'friendships' made on Total Drama always run the risk of being a ploy/fake. It is a social game, after all.

As for the Duncan Incident. Having Noah bite people is going to turn into a running gag for me at this point, because it's so fucking hilarious to imagine him in a scenario where he's forced/pressured into violence and immediately starts chomping down on someone. This weasel boy wasn't built for punches and kicks but On God can he use those pearly whites to cause some damage. (The human jaw has a surprisingly strong bite force. Noah absolutely knows this.)

I'd also like to suggest that Noah rips himself out of his cargo shorts after biting Duncan, leaving the punk with a bleeding handful of nerd shorts and an open wound for his troubles. He'd already let go of Noah by that point too; it's hard to maintain your grip on anything when you've got a manic bookworm tearing away at the tendons in your hands. So he's just sat there, terrified and concerned, nursing the throbbing, sluggishly bleeding bitemark on his hand and wondering how Noah managed to contort his usually stoic facial features into a grin so wild and feral.

And Noah races back to Izzy and Eva, face and teeth splattered in Duncan's blood, sans cargo shorts. Neither of them question it; Izzy has an idea of what he's done, since Noah's smugness levels have risen at least three tiers and he's smiling almost contentedly to himself, and Eva has learned how to Mind Her Own Business when it comes to Izzy and Noah's eccentricities (though she often shoots inquisitive looks towards Noah's red-painted face).

Then in World Tour? Alejandro is suffering. Noah's the only person on his team who isn't lacking braincells and/or completely unhinged (or so he thinks), and as such he's the latino's only lifeline to sanity on the forsaken jet. So when Duncan returns in London and seems scared of the harmless bookworm? That's concerning.

Assuming that Noah's a wee bit more savvy in this AU thanks to his subterfuge experience in Island, he probably wouldn't be as outwardly apparent in his distrust of Alejandro during the challenge- either that, or he'd be enjoying torturing Tyler too much to think about how much of an eel Alejandro is. So Alejandro wouldn't have any reason to want to eliminate him, if anything he'd be motivated to keep him around, if only to act as a buffer between himself and the idiocy of Team Chris.

Duncan's re-introduction and allocation to the team would be Alejandro's first inkling into the fact that Noah is more than he seems. When the delinquent is ushered to stand next to Alejandro and Noah, his pupils contract into pinpricks or terror, and his attention flickers between the aloof cynic to his side and an oval-shaped scar on his hand. The cynic shoots Duncan a friendly smile (Alejandro ignores how the smile doesn't quite reach Noah's eyes) and the punk turns sheet white.

Alejandro doesn't know what to make of it.

#something something a higher iq correlates with higher levels of crazy?#it got a little fic-y there at the end but i ADORE the concept of an unhinged dangerous noah playing coy with the cast #like a cat toying with the doormouse in it's claws instead of eating it #this noah would pin all of his actions on izzy and she'd gladly take the credit #in world tour he crashes the plane twice (whilst chef's on break) and izzy takes the fall both times #they enable each other in their mania and that's beautiful 😌#listen the idea of having alejandro play detective against this noah in WT is interesting but i'm so caught up in the--#euphoria of an izzy🤝noah chaos combo that i'm not gonna dive into it (yet)#total drama #td noah #td izzy #td duncan #td alejandro #silly ideas #others' ideas #psycho!noah au #(that's what i'll call this AU. i know 'psycho' is an iffy term but i'm using it lovingly. also it reminds me of psycho teddy so-)#tw violence #tw blood mention

By the time Winter came, each day was starting to bleed into the next. As they got closer to the holidays, Dawn was putting together multiple events and working late into the night.

Often, she’d crawl into bed long after Phoenix had fallen asleep.

Due to her late nights, she’d start her mornings later, and Phoenix would be up early, doing his best to get ready quietly so as not to wake her.

For him, work had become so busy that he rarely got a day off.

However, they both finally got a break over Winterfest. It felt like it had been months since getting to spend a day together.

And with no obligations aside from their annual dinner at Julian’s, they spent every possible minute in bed, knowing they'd be back to their busy schedules the next day.

#I really needed to draw without using a lot of my brain today #cause for some reason my mood just went for a deep dive out of nowhere #and I've been playing rain world as monk recently #so this was born #I love the fauna in the game #they all are so alien but also absolutely adorable #pole plants probably shouldn't be called fauna #but even if they were I would not call them that #fuck those plants #I always fall for them #anyways I love the funny little mask guys #rain world #rw scavengers #rw monk #slugcat #cinnamon's doodles

My late summer 2023 cdrama updates (+ movies)

This is a follow-up to a previous post I published in February. I'm thinking of doing twice-yearly updates on what I'm watching! I'm also including a few movies this time.

I'm going to try to include content warnings, BUT my memory is not perfect, so please be aware that I may have forgotten details.

Shows I've watched: Some of these were mentioned as "currently watching" in my previous post.

《消失的孩子》 The Disappearing Child As the title suggests, this show is a mystery about a child who goes missing. It also incorporates other plotlines that gradually converge—that's all I'll say to avoid spoiling it. The payoff when the plotlines finally intersect was so satisfying! Overall I really enjoyed this show and highly recommend it. Be aware that it does have references to sexual assault and corpses (I don't think anything was directly shown).

《猎罪图鉴》 Under the Skin This show is about a sketch artist, a police detective, and an old murder case that connects them. I enjoyed the first half, which mostly chronicled stand-alone cases. But I found some cases hard to follow (disclaimer: my police vocab is limited, and I took several breaks while watching). Frankly I was a bit disappointed by the ending, so I don't think I'll watch the upcoming second season. Warning: contains some depictions of sexual assault and domestic violence.

《她和她的她》 Shards of Her To avoid spoiling anything, I'll just say that this show is about a woman who, after experiencing a traumatic accident, wakes up in an alternate version of her life. This show had me constantly doubting what was real and what was fake! I really couldn't get it out of my head. BUT I ultimately wouldn't recommend it due to what I found to be pretty disturbing sexual violence. I don't think there was anything too graphic, but I had to take significant breaks between episodes due to the upsetting content.

《镇魂》 Guardian I knew virtually nothing about this show (I thought it was steampunk tbh) but had heard good things. It's hard to summarize...basically it follows a police bureau that handles supernatural cases and, with some help from a mysterious, powerful envoy, saves the world. My favorite part was the first half, when they were mostly solving stand-alone cases. I got a bit fatigued during the second half. But it was perfect for when I wanted to unwind after work. Warning: the ending left me upset, and the special effects are hilariously bad.

《模仿犯》 Copycat Killer This is probably one of the most violent and death-heavy shows I've ever seen (and that's coming from someone who has seen Criminal Minds and part of Hannibal). It's about an unconventional prosecutor and a sadistic serial killer who uses the media to cause mass panic. Without spoiling it, I'll just say you need to be prepared for murder, torture, suicide, and other violent imagery. This show is not for the faint of heart—I could barely finish it, honestly. There are no happy endings for this kind of show.

Movies I've watched:

《想见你》（电影版） Someday or One Day (Movie) This long-anticipated film adaptation was a letdown for me personally. Instead of simply condensing the show, they made A LOT of changes. I'm not against changes, but the plot of the movie was way too confusing for me to follow. I'm not even going to try summarizing it here. If you haven't seen the show, I think you'll be completely lost. If you have seen the show, you'll be wishing you were rewatching the show instead.

《消失的她》 Lost in the Stars I'll admit, I only went to see this to see 朱一龙. The premise is very Hitchcock—a man is nearly driven over the edge after his wife vanishes and a woman he has never met appears, claiming to be his wife. There are lots of twists and turns, and I did not see the ending coming at all. Personally, I wish it had less action and more elements of a psychological thriller. It was a fun summer movie, but it wasn't anything groundbreaking. But that's OK!

《关于我和鬼变成家人的那件事》 Marry My Dead Body I barely knew anything about this film before I watched it. I only knew it had 许光汉, and I saw a lot of buzz online. It's about a homophobic police officer who enters into a ghost marriage with a (male) ghost. Frankly, I didn't like it that much. I did enjoy seeing the characters' growth, but the plot was very fast-paced, so I didn't have time to process anything that happened. Please note: there is rear nudity and some limited depictions of sex.

Currently watching:

《隐秘的角落》 The Bad Kids After hearing about how great this show is for years, I'm finally checking it out. I've only seen the first episode so far, but I'm really excited to see what's to come! It's about three children who accidentally film a murder. That's really all I know at this point.

《我们与恶的距离》 The World Between Us I haven't even finished the first episode of this show yet. I started it but decided to pause because I felt like I was juggling too many shows. I plan to revisit it after I finish some other shows. I know it's about the aftermath of a mass shooting, so I'm expecting it to be very grim.

《不良执念清除师》 Oh No! Here Comes Trouble I saw a lot of praise for this show online. It's a bit odd but in an endearing way. It follows a young man who discovers he inherited a mystical power after all sorts of strange beings start coming to him for help. So far the only thing I disliked was the gore.

《你的孩子不是你的孩子》 On Children This show is kind of like Black Mirror but with the theme of troubled parent-child relationships. Each episode is practically a movie, and I have only finished one so far. If you are not on good terms with your parents, it may bring up some painful memories.

Potentially abandoning:

《理智派生活》 The Rational Life I started this drama because I was curious about the premise—a professional woman's ups and downs in the workplace. There is also a slow romance (a 姐弟 romance since the male lead is much younger). However, after finishing episode 23 out of 35, the thought of watching 12 more episodes kinda fills me with dread.

《你安全吗？》 Are You Safe? This show is about "vigilante" hackers and the antics they get up to. It's supposed to raise awareness for cybersecurity. Honestly I don't think I have made any progress on this show since my last post...! I may just abandon it because there are a lot of other shows that have more successfully caught my interest.

I can't wait to share another update on what I'm watching/have watched in 6 months or so!

#my watchlist #cdrama #cdramas #chinese drama #taiwanese drama #I have a bad habit of seeing people mention some show/movie/webnovel and diving into it knowing next to nothing #I'm also watching 披荆斩棘2 but I'm not including reality shows in this #吴慷仁 is in EVERYTHING #I was so shocked by the 炎亚纶 cameo in 关于我和鬼变成家人的那件事 #I'm used to cancelled celebs being scrubbed from the internet #yes it includes 许光汉's butt #can someone explain to me why the wig budget for some of these shows is so low #cough guardian and 她和她的她 cough #like we're talking party city type wigs #the kids on the bad kids are so adorable #I hope they will be OK

i hope your hands are feeling better now~ 😭 i'll be occupied for a little bit starting next week so i figured i could send an ask before (do take your time to answer this though!)

how would your ocs react to mc saying that they remind them of a puppy (leumin) or a cat (luc/njero)? actually, i'm not sure if luc is more of a dog or a cat vibe-wise but leu gives me big puppy energy so i had to ask lol

PS: i'm looking forward to the valentine's jam (though i'm sure whatever you're cooking would be good 🥰)

Hi again, Lacie!! My hand is doing much better now, thank you for checking in on me 🥺 (I did some hand exercises and went right back to drawing/writing, so let's hope it stays that way lol)

ANYWAY, to answer your adorable question, Leumin's reaction would be pretty interesting actually! Depending on your relationship (whether you're friends or dating), he'd wonder if you're trying to call him cute in an indirect way, blushing the entire time 😌 If you're dating, then he would get pretty suggestive- smirking before saying something like, "I remind you of a puppy, huh? Does that mean you wanna put a collar on me, petal? ...Because I'd prefer to be the one doing the collaring-"

Lucas and Njero are a lot more chill about the comparison 😂 And personally, I think both Luc and Njero give cat vibes, yeah! Luc being more of a lazy, affectionate cat while Njero is quiet and chill (while also seeking affection randomly).

HEHE, thank you for believing in me, seriously 😭💖 I'm super excited about this project, I just hope it's able to be portrayed that way through the game! I plan to release it exactly on Valentine's Day, so keep an eye out for it! ^^

#thank you so much for this ask it was adorable #and now i can't stop thinking about my ML's as animals #i'll dive deeper on that some other time lol #Lucas Clair #Leumin Holiday #Njero Iclawyn #male oc #male yandere #yandere #visual novel

i think light yagami is "socially adept" in terms of being able to reason out relatively well what to say and do to come off as a harmless and good and polite young man who is likeable to be around. however i do not think "socially adept" (or "neurotypical") typically comes with having to preface every other normal-passing action and statement with a minor crisis of "ah shit. quick, what would i say/do in response to this if i was light yagami, a normal and nice and respectable young man?"

everyone likes to talk about him talking about kira in third person but can we acknowledge that he also talks about LIGHT in third person. i'm not adding manga panels at 3:57am but y'all know exactly which ones i mean

#light is decent at masking but he is NOT coming off as perfect to anyone who looks at him with a critical eye. like L or near #it's just that a lot of people take him at face value #he's handsome he gets top grades his dad is the police chief his family adores him girls like him etc #and he gets to skate off of that a lot until someone comes around and questions the mask #he unravels so fast once he gets closer to L. he fucks up the misa thing so badly even HE has to admit to L's face #that kira probably didn't think things through with the second kira and kind of panicked #ughhhhhhhhhhh i have so many thoughts about him. he works very hard to come off as socially competent. it's a learned skill not innate #i firmly believe there is some shit going on w light in terms of mental conditions. HOWEVER #i also believe he was relatively 'normal' up until the death note sent a lot of that shit spiralling #lots of mentally ill people live pretty normal lives it turns out! a lot of us can get by and sort of manage!#even if it means masking and coping as needed #i don't think you have to be mentally ill to react to the death note the way light did #i do think it oiled some clockwork that was already ticking though #anyway. light is socially competent to some degree because he tries to be. sometimes it backfires. sometimes he misses. normal stuff #trying to say he is objectively socially adept or inept is futile though #but ig what is death note without black and white thinking and what is the dn fandom without diving into the nuances under the surface layer
