to me qsmp as a whole overarching thing insofar is like. Theyre not supposed to win. these challenges propose ultimatums with uncertain consequences when it comes to failure and require the success of every party involved to some degree. they say "work as a team!" and then make that near impossible with other stressors like timers and competition and divine intervention. its hypocritical and unfair and a facade. they were supposed to fail that pressure plate puzzle they were supposed to press that button and they are supposed to fail to keep all the eggs alive.

these challenges claim to be building teamwork but instead create more conflict between the characters and drive them apart with things have little to no real consequence in the end, but are devastating to the individual because with what information they have been provided, and how they interpret things, it is so very important and so very real.

to win is to have everyone work together, but with the pressure each challenge adds it only drives them further apart and then makes them feel guilty for not working well together. it makes unity feel impossible. i think it will be a story about trying to overcome that despite it all

#qsmp #mcyt #they are not meant to win this egg challenge. it was always going to fail #there was always going to be at least one egg dead and they were going to face the wrath of that dragon (is there consequences? #is there a dragon?) #the challenge only got more difficult as time went on and the eggs only have two lives #it got easier to kill them the mobs got more dangerous #the real point was to create that drama and anguish and conflict between groups #like. it knows its players. it knows where they will fall short #at least thats how i see it ! #ithink its very interesting from an in-world standpoint

you'd think right? but the truth of the matter is that this man operates like this

#gaster #shitpost #worst of both worlds #someone once captioned a skelefam post with 'self care is something that has been ignored in the aster household for decades' #i hope this does them proud #the number 1 dad mug has bee shattered and he will cry about it for years (or until they get him a new one) #always love seeing gaster inhabit dad-typical behaviors #falling asleep instantly in random ass positions #that is when a dad becomes a father #now he just needs the Hawaiian shirt cargo shorts and socks with sanda- #huh? #he already has them? #hes saving them to wear at sans and papyrus's college graduations? #huh

#NO skips on Ariana’s new album I’ll be the first to say it #I rly wanted to hate it but I cannot #Such a bop from start to finish #The lyrics fall short but that’s always been Ariana’s style #I was never in it for the lyrics and more in it for her voice/melodies #boy is mine / don’t wanna break up again / bye / supernatural r my current obsessions #she was always my guilty pleasure I’ll admit

bh!Eclipse "asked to reach the top shelf" meets "can't reach the lowest cupboards without folding like a paperclip" - @clxckwork-sun-n-moon

Yeah, I mean, there's a reason SI is laughing here after Eclipse "gets on his level" - man's too tall, he'd need to lie down to get close

But shenanigans are so very fun, so:

It's called symbiosis <3

i miss ai image generators that suck. i want old artbreeder back so i can make flesh computers again. i want to tell the computer to make something that is 50% website and 50% swimming cap to get the Meat World back

#swimming cap was one of my favorite options on artbreeder #bc most images of swimming caps...are on people in bathing suits #so if you put swimming cap into the 'dna' of the image you'd get a lot of. Flesh. #but now like artbreeder dall-e mini all those that used to make super weird janky output that absolutely didnt look like real photos or art #ork. they've all 'upgraded' their image generation to the ai generated stuff we're all familiar with now. and it sucks that stuff is so BOR #NG. even putting aside any ethical arguments ai artwork nowadays is just BORING AS FUCK!!! any ai-generated image that seeks to replicate #either real photos or human-made artwork is going to fall short imo. there have been times when ive been moved/loved ai art and it is ALWAY #when they lean into the strange fucked up quality that computer generated images can have!! the way things mesh and bleed into each other #its really visually interesting!! MY MEAT COMPUTER IMAGES I MISS THEM

Y’all all know I’m back on a Gravity Falls kick so…I drew my favorite six fingered nerd 🥰

Original art from Lost Legends, I pretty much just did a redraw lol

#gravity falls #stanford pines #ford pines #gravity falls fanart #stanford pines fanart #ford pines fanart #gf stanford #gf ford #gravity falls lost legends #lost legends #so many tags lol #aceo draws things #I will spare y’all the sappy stuff I wrote on my instagram post #but in short I’m very grateful for the break I’ve gotten from horrible depression the past week #and I’m just grateful I can feel happy again thank you God #ford has always been a comfort character to me but I think he’s even more of one now tbh #i understand him and Stan a…a lot more now from own personal experience and it just makes their story more meaningful to me you know?

"Levi, I'm not sleepy." Nope, you're wide awake.

"Please love, just try." Levi finally is though, for once.

"I have, I'm just not-" You start.

"I'll give you anything you want." He opens his eyes to look at you.

"You do that anyway." You turn to him.

He leans in to press your foreheads together. "Go to sleep." He all but growls, only making you giggle.

After a couple minutes of playful, light banter, you're finally situated with your head on Levis chest, his arms around you.

Suddenly you're very content not to move and are steadily lulled to sleep by the rhythm of his heartbeat.

Levi let's out a small sigh, stroking your hair gently until he knows your sleeping and his arm gets too tired to continue.

"And I always will." He whispers before following you to dreamland.

As long as it's within his power, he will always give you whatever your heart desires.

It's Levi himself, your heart beats happiest for.

How do you get characterization so PERFECT?!?!?!?!??!?!?!??!? HOW PLEASE ITS SO BEAURIFUL MY EYES TURNED TO TEARS PLEASE

i'm not sure if i'd say Perfect but thank you! accurate characterization is very important to me, and one of my favorite things to do is analyze the shit out of characters until i feel like i Know Them

#this is actually why yall havent gotten an actual welcome home fic outta me yet #i feel like i have a better grasp on everyone but mmmmm im missing important pieces to fully Understand yk #ive been fascinated with picking apart characters for years and years #i remember being a freshman in highschool deconstructing bakugo until i was like 'oh ok im the only bitch who gets him. ok' #and i have only ever been proven right and vindicated Since! #but i try i try #if im making something thats actively memey i let myself be a little lax on characterization #but the rest of the time im like This Needs To Be As On Point As I Can Manage #for myself! for others! for the Source! #rambles from the bog #something that helps me stay focused and determined #is asking myself 'how would it feel to have people mischaracterize MY brain guys' #and then my soul shrivels up and i start studying whoever im writing lmao #im always scared that im falling short... i hate writing things that are ooc...

[straylaughs]

dont know how to go about formulating my thoughts about the entire show but i do have to give bucchigiri its flowers for that absolutely stunning fight sequence between matakara and arajin

#like ???????? #wowie #the animation always goes hard for the fight sequences but this was so good #also super fun seeing arajin WANTING to fight and giving his all #kinda got langa flashbacks when arajin was falling in the void LOL #i honestly cant figure out what to say about the finale #like its been at least an hour since i finished it and i still don't know #so on a very surface level i'd say it was cute #i did actually very much appreciate the short flashback at the beginning #because it does really make sense as to why matakara clung to him #as for arajin himself #congrats to him for being a honki person ig? (which i still don't fully understand but im okay with that tbh) #and the blood stamp he gave matakara was cute too #... that's about all i can think of to say (there's definitely more i could think of) #like zabu not telling komao that matakara nearly killed him but maybe that wouldn't have mattered question mark #anyways #my official bucchigiri rating: ''sure?''/10 #bucchigiri?!

suggestion do you have... any wants? like obviously you do but like? suggestion my guy my ourple boy. both the easiest and hardest to write. you need a skill to say something to move conversation along but it doesn't fit any skill in particular? about 80% of the time you can have suggestion say it and it will make sense. but like actually characterizing him... how do i define you dude... what makes your character tick... urgh. i dont get you yet. im trying to understand but you are difficult.

#chemi chats #there are some skills that i just dont understand yet and that just means i have to work on their character study chapter #im reading his bio and i think suggestion is a good manipulator and it's instinctive and he tries not to feel bad about it? #he's clever!! charming!! friends with savvy and drama. planting seeds in the mind and coaxing them to grow towards him like he's the sun. #a crude oil reservoir lying beneath a carefully laid flower bed. taps into the roots. the plants don't know any better than to drink. #he's great at sensing what makes people tick and uses that to his advantage. he needs goals to look forward to so he knows how to best #pull the strings to get them there. otherwise he's a bit aimless. he likes being useful. and since influencing others is helpful #he just keeps doing it? because it's what he's good at. and he tries to convince himself its fun and cool and just cuz hes charming and #it's his role as a skill and manipulation isnt thaaaat bad because it's helpful to them after all... but he does feel bad sometimes. #oh im listening to his voice lines and i just got to ''brother you should have put me in front of a firing squad'' and im sad about him now #but what do you want for short term little guy?? probably for people to like him. he likes chatting with people. i bet he'd like genuine #conversations with no strings attached but there's always some part of him filing information and tidbits away that he can't turn off #subconsciously figuring out things he can hold over them or how he can nudge them into thinking someth-/wait.../ no. no he's just talking. #he's /supposed/ to just be talking stop analyzing them stop falling back into that just have a normal conversation!! but he can't help it.. #hm. this is all really helpful for his chapter. he and empathy are very alike but also different. very interesting... #task: swept up #okay good talk everyone i think i understand him a little better now lmao?? still gotta figure him out some more hes not fully there but ye #also i think he goes by whatever pronoun you think he'd use. just ''oh what do /you/ think i am hm?? what /would/ i use; do you think?? :)' #funny fella. i love you.

Watching Mavis contemplate the idea of herself possibly being on the path to becoming an alcoholic is strangely cathartic after how she treated me for being an alcoholic. I'd say I wouldn't wish the shit I've gone through on my worst enemy, and that's mostly true. I wouldn't wish the shit I've gone through in full on my worst enemy.

So I hope her recovery goes quick. But I also hope it sucks. I hope she gets withdrawals that she recovers from, but I hope she suffers the fevers and the chills and the cramps and the cravings and the agony. I hope she learns a lesson in how she enables and encourages the way society treats the struggling, the less fortunate, the downtrodden, the traumatised, the addicted.

I hope she learns something from this and never speculates or utters another fucking word about anyone else's coping habits or addictions. I hope she learns to stay in her fucking lane and not judge people for the methods they use to cope.

I hope she comes away with the knowledge of what her own medicine tastes like, and I hope it's bitter.

#mavisposting #tacking on that you wouldn't be having cravings for alcohol after only one drink the day before so she's defo lying for sympathy points #so y'know. as always. manipulative #i do genuinely hope she gets better if she is falling into addiction tho (which she's not because she's a liar) #but i also hope it sucks the whole fucking time she's getting better (which she won't because she's a liar) #i hope her withdrawals are short but also the worst thing that's ever happened to her #even if it's just one day of withdrawals. i hope she gets all the shit i coped with for weeks when i went cold turkey #i hope she learns how fucking hard it is and she never says another cruel word to or about addicts of any sort #i don't care if i sound cruel atp. it's 12am. i'm sleepy. i'm tired of the world's cruelty #and i'm especially tired of her woe-is-me manipulative lying bullshit #the utter fucking audacity she has to lie about this shit after everything she said about my alcoholism and drug use #she can get fucked royally actually. fuck her. i don't care. genuinely one of the worst people i've ever met and that's saying something

sometimes i really fucking hate watching bubbleline clips online bc some pissant in the comments always gotta compare the two and inevitably drag princess bubblegum in the comments and call her a bitch or evil or some other derogatory term as if her entire arc throughout adventure time wasnt about her breaking out of that unhealthy mindset and also showcased how both their childhoods were filled with disaster yet they both grew to accept and move past it like SHUT THE FUCK UP

#I CANT FUCKING STAND IT #KEEP MY WIFE'S NAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH #people always talk as if marceline was the only one with a fraught childhood loss and unhealthy coping mechanisms as if pb's own life is #just her being an malicious evil despot as if she doesn't try to do her best but falls short because of her own narrow worldview but learns #to open herself up and accept being vulnerable as well #i hate it here 😭🤬😑 #adventure time #bubbleline #princess bubblegum #marceline

I like Baffy bcs it makes me go “HA LOSER!” With Bugs (endearingly)

HA yep! casually liking bugs and daffy has one assuming daffy is the loser, but being into baffy makes u realize that it’s bugs who’s the loser!

#baffy #looney tunes #bugs bunny #daffy duck #isn’t that lovely? (ask tag) #pssst it’s the emotional constipstion unself awareness 🫢 #meanwhile daffy is a charater that wears his heart on his sleeve #that ain’t to say daffy isn’t a thinker. he calculates stuff and makes calls (though his line of logic can at times be skewered. he is #’daffy’ after all) but he falls short of bugs already ten steps ahead of everyone else and makes plays along with the public opinion #that he’s unreachable and always witty (🫢 he’s not) #like u watch BiA as an adult and see how Bugs treats Daffy/Bugs goes along with the studio’s treatment of Daffy n ur like #damn I’d leave his ass too 😭 Bugs is such a loser #he knows Daffy’s greatest dream is to be called Bugs’ hero and bugs casually teases him about it like that bitch is COLD #dare I say. a Stinker (ehehehhee )
