The blue eye samurai fandom, for some reason

#I am once again asking if the kids are alright bc it doesn’t really seem like they are #friendly reminder that mizu kills people ny guys including unarmed randos and one unlucky teenager pissing his pants in a corner #but sure Taigen is irredeemable. lay off my emotional support blorbo. #blue eye samurai #taigen #and hey I love Akemi a buttload but she has at least nine lives or something no way would getting robbed in the woods #running off to a brothel and getting re kidnapped go half as well for anyone else #no one ever took advantage of her it’s incredible I’m glad and all but my god those were stupid risks to take #I’m so looking forward to her political intrigue character arc but let’s not act like she hasn’t done some dumbass shit #and Mizu’s a fucking mercenary. does she kill for money? no but she killed for information and she’ll kill anyone in her way to get what she #wants. taigen as far as we know has only killed peoples in duels and fights. he’s not out ganking randos. #the point of this show is that this is not your average cartoon and none of these characters are average black or white types #everyone’s grey and it’s all delicious #enjoy it.

I can't stop thinking about the Watcher thing it's just so fascinatingly bizarre . like so many components of that decision and how they handled it were so bad and so completely out of left field for how they've operated in the past I am baffled . Someone put these guys under a microscope Stat

#watcher #like ?? it all boils down to money i know but wow #like i dont think Anyone would've cared that they introduced a subscription service if they hadnt announced it in the worst most victim #complex way possible + made SUCH a stark leap from completely paid to completely behind a paywall ?? i do not know how they expected that t #go over well #i guess i am just most baffled by the way it seems to suggest that they are just so out of touch when previously #they seemed overall very humble and down to earth #i do not think theyre just like evil money hungry freaks or something #like definitely its also that they also just want to keep improving and making better stuff and that takes more money but also . #like ....... their content Has gone a little downhill despite it all . i think most people have been thinking that and just holding out hop #that it wasnt true. #idk im gonna stop talking its not important #i dont even know why im so invested in this actually . its just . so bizarre as previously stated #trainwreck etc. #i am glad they frantically took everything back dear god #funny to watch a little i must admit #mine

Nikolai with a s/o who always has a hand on his chest? With consent ofc, and it’s always to feel his heartbeat. I think of this all the time and it’s always super cute in my head.

Hello! That is pretty cute!

Nikolai Always with Reader’s Hand on His Chest

Nikolai is a pretty laid back and chill sort of man, so he usually doesn’t mind you putting your hand over his heart. Maybe not while you’re walking, though, he doesn’t want you to trip. It’s very sweet to him: You wanna make sure that he’s alive? That he’s still with you? That his heart is still beating? Trust me, not even death could take him away from you. He’d dig his way out of his grave after killing the reaper with his bare hands himself. You can always put your hand over his chest while you’re at home together, though. It’s nice to feel you. After a while it would be reassuring to him as well, feeling that you’re there, that you’re with him. He thinks it’s sweet that you always want to be touching him, because if it was up to you he’d do the same thing with you. After some time, once he’s realized that you’re always touching him whenever you can, he tries to get into positions that facilitate you touching him a bit. Usually lies on his back when you’re cuddling so you have full access to him. Can and will fall asleep like that, but will also want to hold you back. Will also put his hand over your heart as well so he can “get back at you”. In reality, feeling your heartbeat is also just nice and reassuring to him. However, he sometimes might lie on your chest in order to hear it as well, something like it lulls him to sleep, after all. You can put your hand over his chest in public as well, though, he doesn’t particularly mind cuddling in public either. There’s a good chance you’ll be nicely clothed, though, so you won’t feel his heartbeat unless you slip your hand under his clothes. You can do that, he doesn’t care about strangers staring in public. However, once it’s time to continue walking around, release him. You can continue your antics once you’ve found another nice bench to sit on.

#cod #cod x reader #cod nikolai #cod nikolai x reader #tomorrow is finally friday for me right now. I am so tired. but tomorrow I'm gonna take a long long nap #I have the next two weeks off but I can't promise that I'll be able to post too much during that time for driver's license reasons #I'll try but I have a lot of errands to run then #besides it's not like I get too many requests in per day luckily. at one point I got 4 requests in one night #now I get one. maybe two at most per day. which is good. it's relaxing and doesn't stress me out too much either #at one point I had eight requests sitting in my inbox despite working on them ever day. that was really stressful #but these days I'm more willing to close my inbox. people usually don't mind the waiting too much anyway #I do work as fast as I can though but I'm gonna stick with posting one request per day. that's a much better pace for me #haven't written for Nikolai in a while though. I'm glad people still like me writing characters other than the girls as well #but it seems as though for now I've become a cod girls centric blog haha #I don't mind. I'm just glad that people like my writing enough to want to request it. I'll write for just about anyone of the main charas #two exceptions apply but I refuse to write for them. i just genuinely don't like them #but I like Nikolai. he's good he's nice. he seems like someone who'd be great at giving bear hugs

i once had an anti tell me to stop sexualizing their trauma on a story i wrote that was a word for word retelling of my own actual trauma but with names changed and its been 2 years and i still cant stop thinking about that

Ah, yeah... Unfortunately a non-insignificant number of antishippers seem to genuinely believe they own the concept of trauma, so any story they read that they believe to be portrayed in a romanticized or sexualized light therefore must be romanticizing/sexualizing their trauma specifically.

I couldn't tell you the amount of times I've gotten the "stop sexualizing my trauma!!!!!!" or adjacent comments from antishippers that universally garner a response that basically boils down to

Like, bitch! I'm talking about my trauma! I literally did not even know you existed until you fucking commented!

#proship #proshipper #anti bs #just anti things #glad to know antis assuming every story about trauma must be about them specifically seems to be a universal proshipper experience lol #like *how* am I sexualizing *your* trauma when I literally do not even know who you are? #like if you hadn't commented I would've gone my entire life not knowing you even exist #if I had omnipotence like that I certainly would not be using that power to sexualize the trauma of some random fucking stranger! lol #you think my petty ass would be doing *that* instead of the infinitely more infuriating thing of spoiling every show you love at any chance #jokes aside though like seriously get fucking real #I hate to burst your main character syndrome bubble but nobody fucking cares about you #not in the ''nobody loves you and you'll die alone'' sense #but in the ''you are just Some Guy™ and the 8 billion other people on the planet have their own problems to worry about'' sense #if someone is writing about trauma maybe take your self-centred goggles off for 5 fucking seconds #and maybe you'll realise that it is 1000000% more likely this random stranger is writing about *their* trauma #and *not* the trauma of a person whose entire existence they are not even aware of #I do believe the tiktok trend of referring to strangers as ''NPCs'' has at least contributed to this epidemic of main character syndrome #people you don't know are *not* ''NPCs'' you fucking robot! #they are human beings just like you with lives and dreams and loved ones #you just don't know them #sorry but I genuinely think I'd go to jail for murder if I ever heard someone refer to me as an ''NPC'' out in public #'cause genuinely who the fuck do you think you are!?

May I just say... Thank you for your good good lady merc designs. Like, scout's Ma was already in milf territory but you really just 😙🤌. And Quinn! Lanky awkward woman my beloved. Her and Yvainne's weird gay thing is perfect. Anyway I am spinning them around in my brain, thank you for feeding my hyperfixation.

ive actually been drawing a lot of scout’s ma today, so this is a very apt ask to get !! Thank you sm! I’m having a lot of fun drawing strange women, always very happy to see people liking them!

Heres a wip of a ma. ^_^

#I dont always have the energy or art backlog… but when i do i like to be able to add art to ask responses #mostly bc it helps me feel like im not being too repetitive when i respond to compliments #i get worried that i seem disingenuous! And i hope that i am not coming across that way! #every time i say i am glad people appreciate my women art! I always mean it! #or any of my art in general ofc. Thank you for taking the time to say nice things. :] #Merry #fem fortress but they’re separate characters from their canon merc counterparts #i have been ironing out how i characterize scouts ma as i draw her more for the fem merc team… #and i think i have ultimately found her true form: bimbo /hj #bc i think she deserves that #ok sorry for rambling in tags. Im done now

I honestly can not believe that the serial killer au has gotten this much attention.

Pretty much how this started was I was listening to one of @ayyy-imma-ninja silly (/pos) little rambles and I looked at it and thought, "I could make a fic out of this."

It went from a silly lil idea into a full blown story with actual plans to make this into something bigger than a small drabble. And, honestly, I am so happy about it. When it first went public and people started interacting I was very overwhelmed. My main thoughts were, "where did these people come from???" But I am so very excited to see how people react to the story as it goes on.

The fic is currently a WIP. No clue when the first chapter will come out, I have a very inconsistent schedule that is basically just me writing at 3AM while half asleep. (I don't recommend it)

It has been an absolute joy to be able to work on this silly little thing with Meg, and I hope everyone else enjoys it too.

#dca!serial killer au #truly i wouldve never imagined that this would actually be something bigger than a silly idea #its crazy to me how much people seem to like it #tho i am very glad that people do

I'm starting with a new therapist who I think may finally be a good fit for me, and at my intake appointment yesterday she agreed that we should do an OCD screening next week.

I took a quick look at the test she wants to go over with me and had more than a few ".....oh" moments, so while I'm not about to diagnose myself on the spot, it really is starting to feel more and more like a reasonable suspicion that might be about to get validated. Which I am having... complicated feelings about. It might be a really helpful lens to apply to some of my more persistent mental health issues, but also, it's kind of an intimidating diagnosis.

In any case, a while back when I was first grappling with all this, I decided to take a leaf out of some of my friends/mutuals' book and have a go at personifying my probable-OCD in a way that feels a little less pathologizing by thinking about it as a frustrating entity I have to put up with. In my case, an annoying little demon I've decided to call "Dys" -- short for "Dyscrasia," or the term for a humoral imbalance, because as a history of science guy I think it's funny.

Dys makes things hard for me, whatever brain issue they represent. But I'm grateful to the people who have shown me how to think about them with humor (pun at least a little bit intended) while I prod at figuring out what exactly is going on inside my head. If nothing else, it makes me feel less alone.

(Well. Less alone in a human way. The demon companion isn't exactly helping matters.)

#today's emotion is ybocs fuckor :/ #but you know what. i am super glad people have pointed out that my experiences sound a lot like theirs #because i would not have suspected this one without that #and as much as i'm stressed about it if it really is what i have going on. it's going to help so much more to actually know that #because for the longest time it's just seemed like i can't make progress on my brain stuff for no good reason #anyways. not a diagnosis yet but really looking like one

New Life series general spoilers and also a bit of personal taste neg (under a read more just in case u don't wanna see it)

me, yesterday: Yeah last life was probably my least favorite of the 3 seasons. I didn't really like the boogeyman mechanic, I thought it disrupted the players relationships in a relatively unsatisfying way. Similarly the extra lives made the deaths feel less dramatic and less important. Some of the most compelling moments were when people resisted this, Scott taking the life penalty, or Etho refusing to abandon Bdubs when he turned red. Frequently people who were red/boogey and became green again didn't face consequences because they were just following the rules of the system. Bdubs boogey kills Tango and its a VERY funny moment because of how Tango reacts, but its mostly brushed aside by the team as a whole, compared to when Cleo held a grudge against BigB for his boogey kill, leading to the absolutely iconic "do me a favor, die for me". 3rd Life I think also benefited from contrast, everyone was very kind and excited at the beginning before id devolved into chaos and bloodshed, whereas everyone was distrustful from the start in LL. So yeah, I'm glad other people like it but really wasn't my cup of tea like 3rd Life was.

Limited Life (same acronym as LL): Boogeyman is back :] and we did extra rounds of it

me: cool

LL: everyone basically has 24 lives

me: sick.

LL: like 10 deaths already on episode one

me: awesome

#i want to reiterate its TOTALLY COOL if other people love these mechanics and/or have opinions that differ from mine #i am SO glad for you if u loved last life and love where it seems limited life is heading. #its also possible that i'm just a fucking wuss. i generally don't like things with unhappy endings. though 3L didn't have a happy ending #and i REALLY liked it. even though everyone died it felt. kinder. like. the duos. no matter what the world threw at them they had each othe #i dunno i never actually finished double life and its been a while since i've rewatched any of them #Limited Life SMP #Limited Life SMP spoilers #limited life spoilers #last life neg #last life salt #<- just to be safe. i don't hate last life by any means but i get some people might not wanna hear someone critique it #i know i also put it under a read more but shshhshhshhhhh i'm playing it safe #og post #i forgot my fucking post tag

#kirby #daily kirby #my art #digital #hal laboratory #nintendo #it seems our gas furnace was contributing to my flare up so my wife went out and bought a space heater. #(mcas is an illness that can react to literally anything regardless of how safe a thing probably is for most people) #(and yes I am vaguely aware twitter was arguing about natural gas but I've never liked it personally) #(it smells bad which usually means that it's bad for me) #(which like convenient that that one single safety system works! glad things I find unpleasant turn out to be things I should avoid) #(cuz I know that's not the case for everyone) #(and like growing up undiagnosed autistic I was really pushed to just put up with unpleasant sensations) #(so it's good to have double justification for not forcing myself to eat foods I know I don't like and so on) #(but I'd turned it off yesterday cuz I had a hunch) #(and I turned it back on this morning cuz I didn't want the cat to be cold) #(and I hadn't had a flare last night) #(but I started feeling worse whenever it kicked on.) #(so.) #(pretty straightforward answer there.) #(whoops left half of the thought shared with twitter in the post body -n-)

Writing these opening bits with Rakha/Durge, I am reminded of the comment people sometimes make about how it makes sense that babies cry because any bad thing that happens to them is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to them in their whole life.

(I bring this up because Rakha has sand in her shirt on the crash beach and she's mad about it because it's like the fifth worst thing she can remember happening to her ever (the other four being a nautiloid crash, a tadpole, a talking brain, and literal Hell). XD )

#bjk plays bg3 durge #rakha the dark urge #i think i'm going to like rakha #but still working on getting to that point where she fully clicks for me #she's suffering from the fact that i keep comparing her to hector and his five months of development lol #am glad people seem to be enjoying so far tho <3

28 year old men at uni can’t get enough of my approachable theythem swag

#I do not mean this in a good or bad way. just an observation #i cannot go anywhere in this place without acquiring satellites who make small talk and ask me my pronouns #I am inclined to believe they do genuinely just have intentions of being friends #bc I mention my bf casually every so often when relevant so as to gently discourage any ideas just in case #and they still stick around. so I think they just want a friend in class #I must just come off as very non-threatening which I don’t mind at all #I am not the type to start conversations with strangers unprompted but I don’t mind other people doing the same to me #the social feel of uni is very different to how highschool was. it feels more laidback but also more isolated I guess #in high school friendships seemed to just kind of happen #in uni it feels like something you have to consciously initiate and keep up each week #I’m really glad I signed up for a club & also went to the workshop days for neurodivergent students #I’ve met the most good people from those things

deadnamed at my father's funeral

#parental death tw #family death tw #not sure how else to tag this one #yeah december was a very rough month for me :))) #i actually drew this on the way to my hometown a couple days after i got the news that my dad had passed away #fully anticipating that one of the grueling parts of the process would be the incessant deadnaming and misgendering #bc my dad himself never once used my right name after i came out to him. not once #i asked and we even got in fights about it! bc he just REFUSED to do it #didnt want to think of me as a man at all. i was his only daughter and his baby girl and he didnt wanna accept that id changed #in that way #but i do know bc his wife told me that despite not really accepting the truth about my identity #he was very glad that i seemed happy about it #so i think thats whatll be important to me about it #he didnt get it and didnt really accept it for himself but he was happy that i was happy #anyway it was indeed annoying at the service but more people were chill about it than i expected #and i also had to deal with fewer people than i thought i would #was talking to one of his old band friends who i vaguely remembered and joked that 'i was a girl last time u saw me' #and he said 'youre still a girl' and i just went 'no i am not. the sideburns beg to differ.' #then at the end of the service when people were leaving he came and asked for my New name and when i told him #he was like 'ok ill try to remember that' #i like to think he realized instantly the faux pas he made and was like Yikes. This Is Her/His Dads Funeral. Maybe I Should Be Cool. #anyway. the whole affair was exhausting but i got some nice things out of it too #like hanging out w my brothers #then we got home and me and my wife both had covid bc life wasnt done kicking me in the dick i guess! #im good now i think tho. its fine its fine its fine

Oh my gosh you’re Wing Image Guy, how wonderful! I love that diagram, very helpful!

My pleasure! :) That’s what it’s there for, and I’m happy that it has been able to reach so many people.

If you aren’t aware, since it wasn’t quite as popular: there is also a sequel

#even though sometimes that reach is without credit 🥲 #it’s one thing to not post credit but that wing shapes image has also been subject to people actively cropping my name out of it #like. why #anyway student said they never knew who did it (so it seems they saved one of the uncredited copies) #because that version is p widespread #but I am still fundamentally glad it has been so useful because that is the goal! #friendly internet science education be upon ye

Bad news, got back from the vet and my beautiful baby son is going to have to be put down soon, probably tomorrow or the next day, so send him best of wishes for his next few days~ Luckily, he's actually not in a lot of pain (for now, hopefully he won't be) and is acting pretty normal, so I'm hoping he won't suffer at all and everything will be peaceful for him.

#pet death tw #death mention #let me know if I need any other tags #I would post something to help pay for his euthanasia expenses or etc. but I don't know of any secure methods #since I don't know much about stuff like that. I've heard that like on paypal and ebay and stuff people can still get your real name #and some information from their payment receipts or whatever sutff like that. thats part of why I've held off on selling clothes and sculpt #res for so long is trying to find a way to do it that's the most safe. aside from literall yhaving to start an llc and open a business bank #account and run everything on an entirely sepreate thing just so it has no association with my name and etc. #and obviouskly I don't feel like figuring out all of that stuff right now lol #I am busy just trying to make my beautiful meatloaf son comfortable and spend some time with him whilst I can #It's sad. but I'm glad the issues were caught before he was in terrible pain or anything. So suprisingly it was actually a pretty easy #decision. I would rather him go out while he's feeling okay and relatively content then wait until he's in severe #pain or extremely lethargic or etc. So it seems all very sudden but . It's better that way for him. #anyway #of COURSE this has to happen during a heat wave also.. hhrgghhh... #more fuel for my vendetta against summer lol.. Not that it's the season's fault but. something bad happening in the winter #vs. seomthing bad happening in the summer which just adds an extra layer of 'oh yeah on top of everything else #you're going to be sweating and nauseous and chronically uncomfortable!' is like.. >:T #Also for him. part of the issue is lung cancer which has spread and caused a bunch of fluid to build up in his stomach (which is what I #noticed. even though he's acting perfectly fine and normal his stomach was weird and bloated suddenly) #but if part of the problem is his lungs (which look absolutely crazy on xray) then him breathing in hot shitty thick air is definitely #not as comfortable as if he were able to be nice and cool and snuggled in some blankets. etc. etc. #ANYWAY ghhb... send him much luck and positivity!! Really hoping he can make it through the next day or so without #taking a turn for the worst. So hopeing for a peaceful quiet exit and not like tramatic sudden things. etc. etc. #cross your fingers pray to your gods whisper to the night sky so on and so forth. whatever you do that's meaningful to you.
