#i can't explain it in any other way

[dark-sappho]

waiting for my turn to speak in a conversation and trying not to interrupt literally feels like I'm trying to jump into a game of double dutch

#i can't explain it any other way #i'm terrible at recognising pauses and lulls in conversation #personal

[annieminx]

starting to follow the mandela catalogue lore was probably one of my worst decisions after getting into warhammer 4k...

#this is definitely the substitute of creepypastas for my grown ass self #I can't explain it in any other way

Yo the zim and tenn ask is adorable, what miyuki though of the little twins? Also zim and tenn relationship if they were siblings

again, in the universe, where zam and miyuki never had an arguement, she might find them ....cute-ish, but now she have to figure out how to expain everyone, why zam walking around with two smeets in the lab

also zim and tenn's relationship (at least here) would be more rival-y, not like zim and tak, but something similar like some siblings are they would argue over the last piece of chocolate for sure

#if i would pull an evil here i would also say #that they never really got involved with each other after zam disappeared #and maybe tenn would blame it on zim #because they can't explain it in any other way #but im not evil and i didn't say that #ask #invader zim #invader zim oc #dr.zam #tallest miyuki #sketch #tenn #my drawing

Hey do you think Jamil has trouble seeing people his age as peers?

Like, growing up having to be a caretaker to a guy literally a few months older than him, always expected to act like the adult in the situation, expected to work with adults and adopt their perspectives and pick up their slack. Do you think he just, forgets sometimes?

I mean we've seen him go into caretaker mode with other sophomores, and the only people I've seen him take seriously are juniors like Vil who also act much older than they should have to (his reactions to Leona look more like a trauma response and I don't wanna get into it here). People like Malleus and Cater still somewhat get the caretaker treatment. Like I just highly doubt that he subconsciously realizes he's actually part of his age group

Aaand that inevitably brings up Azul, who also acts like he thinks he's older than he is. Whether you're looking at it from a shipping angle or not, he reacts to Azul like an actual peer. With older students, he seems more in his element but there's still a status hierarchy which he compulsively reacts to. With Azul he doesn't acknowledge any status worth respecting or see him as someone who needs to be looked after. He just bickers like an equal, in a way that implies he actually does see Azul as a real peer, like subconsciously he's categorized this guy into the same group as himself, who was previously alone on that level (he gets like this more with the twins too, over time, but it seems to start with Azul).

And my favorite part about this is, while that response stems from them both acting more like adults in general, they elicit a pettiness from each other which drags them both down to actually acting their own age, and I just love that. Their characters are perfect foils for each other and it seems to make them both less isolated in a way.

#idk how to fully explain this thought in the azul department #but other than that its... yeah. forced maturity is so fucking isolating #I'm not surprised the only people he seems to hang around with are the fish even though he claims to hate them #since they seem to be in a similar boat with that #jamil viper #on a more shippy note: #I feel like Jamil NEEDED someone who he didn't feel the need to respect. in order to avoid falling into programmed behaviors #he's able to be a person around Azul in a way that nobody else can give him #specifically because Azul CAN keep up. but doesn't command his respect in any way that his employers would force him to acknowledge #and stubbornly refuses to leave despite Jamil being an asshole in his desperate attempts to feel some sense of freedom and control #which results in him wearing himself out enough to calm down and socialize while actually being treated with respect and equality anyway. #And it seems like Azul needed to find someone that he couldn't just attain or control from behind his own walls #he's desperate for the attention of someone who refuses to let him play the role he's developed to distance himself from others #so he has to treat himself more like a real person in order to get what he wants #which is a guy who challenges him enough to prove that it's not just him and the twins vs the ignorant masses #he's spent so long building himself a fortress of wealth and arrogance to protect him from the rest of the world #and now he's faced with the fact that he can't stay in there and still get what he wants no matter how many well practiced tricks he uses #and suddenly they're both just teenagers bickering in school with a peer like everyone else for the first time in their lives #this got off topic

Atsushi's back in the game!!! ۶( ˆ o ˆ )

#And Kouyou!!!! #Also. I can say Steinbeck is kinda 👀👀👀 #King of the specific category of “I forget I like him until he's on screen” #I'm seriously unlocking memories with this rewatch. Like I haven't thought about it in two years– #but I just know when I was watching the anime for the first time I was being like #“Of COURSE the villains need to spend several minutes each episode explaining in detail how their own superpowers work so that the– #protagonists can get a perfect idea of how to best counter them. Why are villains made so freaking stupid in this show” aljhvwslchvqliyqwb #But. Eh. I guess that's just bsd to you. #Alsoooooo random thought of the day: I don't really favour how Tanizaki's ability was adapted in the anime. #I very well understand they were going for this green Matrix-like illusion effect‚ but every time someone says “... Snow?” #I'm like please explain where do you live that has snow glowing green. #Aamsjgvfaskjhfv sorry this is me being very. Cranky and nitpicky and having terrible audience etiquette in refusing to– #engage in suspension of disbelief. It just bugs me akvakcvqkyb I just feel like... Green is such a non-snow color– #that quite of completely disrupts the Light Snow / Sasame Yuki aesthetic. I would have liked it much better light blue or simply white. #What else. The way the Guild just goes on at stereotypes still troubles me a lot. The “usamericans can't be touched by laws– #because they use money to corrupt anyone” “foreign criminal organization come in our country to corrupt our pure and untouched soil” #Idk. Maybe all of it is true. Can it still be deemed a stereotype when it's objectively something that's happened before– #and will probably keep happening? #I suppose I'm just not a fan of the constant hostility against any foreigner. Idk. #This situation besides is extremely ironical. If you meet me irl it probably won't take long to see me being very outspoken about– #how much I despise usa cultural colonization of all other countries. It's something that really bothers me‚ how rooted and pervasive– #their influence is. So in a lot of ways I can relate to the author's sentiment #I just feel that. If you start treating them as stereotypes and ignore the complexity of a country and the wide spectrum of causes– #that contribute to its attitude in international relations. You end up practicing precisely what you're trying to criticize. #Okay this is the last time I'm getting into the politics of the Guild arc lol #random rambles #This time I took watching the episode slow I feel a little late

dai is so strong. not talking about violence though i mean the way there's so much pressure on him but he still manages. one step at a time one day at a time, think positively, think proactively, do your very best for not only yourself but also everyone else, and it's never baseless optimism, it's courage in the face of difficulty, it's i want to be able to do something, there has to be something i can do, so i'm going to do everything i can to do it,' that's a completely ordinary yet extremely touching human sentiment that some people don't stretch themselves out to, but so many dnangel characters do, and not just the ones with weird magic bloodlines. that being said, is it unfair for daisuke as a phantom thief, as a kid raised since birth for the sake of a destiny, to have to do a lot of what he's doing? yeah, and dnangel acknowledges this; recognizes this in the form of his 'powers,' his inheritance being a 'curse,' his loneliness and misery and terror whenever he and dark are out of sync and he feels strangled rather than pushed forward by the way he was born and raised to be a phantom thief. the sins of his ancestors persist and become his, dark's existence remains miserable and unchanged for centuries and centuries, his magic is first and foremost a punishment, sleeping beauty pricking her finger on the spinning wheel, the beast for his lovelessness, until his very own love alongside everyone else's cures it and lifts the curse, not just for himself but for dark too.

he couldn't escape the circumstances of his birth, (neither could dark,) but he's always trying to step forward with a retained romantic passion and love for his life and the decisions he can make for himself, the things he can control about his own life - making art even if he isn't talented at it, engaging in new hobbies at every opportunity, sticking close to his friends, utilizing what he's learned since he was born to try to selflessly help, rather than selfishly take and hurt. 'in this world, magic is something born out of human hearts.' daisuke's healing and dark's 'trickery' at its core really isn't supernatural, it's completely ordinary; they're magicians, illusionists, entertainers and comforters, they make what seems impossible possible, they're incredibly skilled and clever, but more than anything they've almost aaaalways had a positive, enduring, and protective attitude. don't be afraid of change, don't be afraid of moving forward, don't hesitate around those that you truly love and appreciate, That's Really Strong!!!!!

I completely forgot about the Sun Wukong inspired Sonic Character Monkey Khan XD

#Loss of Powers | {OOC} #The Scrolls | Mun Menu {Post} #WINTER MADE ME REMEMBER HIM; I COMPLETELY FORGOT #I mean his name is more based on King Kong; but the rest is Monkey King #I love the wiki list one of his nicknames as MK and I just like 'Ah; there are two MKs now' XD #Gods; when I am tempted to RP him but I also can't remember shit about his character...other than another dude trying to get with Sally #And another rival for Sonic #I mean...I'd probably just be remaking him from the ground up either way... #Wasn't too big a fan that they made him basically cybernetic to explain his powers #And other than the nimbus and his staff; he didn't have any powers really associated or common with Monkey King...[shrugs] #Didn't have to be 1:1 necessarily but the fact they didn't give him much more than Monkey King aesthetics is meh to me =w=;;;

Highlights from my EU4 Austria game up to 1600s

#og post #eu4 #pdx games #not in order but still funny #Had the worst RNG I didn't get any Personal Unions peacefully and had to fight wars to get Milan & Hungary & Bohemia & Brandenburg as PUs #Burgundy fully evaded my grasp and all of this got me so hated I got excommunicated and lost the election to Fucking Pfalz #I'm calling them the German name cuz it's more cringe then The Palatenate #(3 of the 7 electors are literally Theocracies what do you expect. Excommunication and the religious league wars were the end of me) #I got so pissed I switched to the Protestant side of the 30 year war and curbstomped Pfalz but only to sign the Treaty of Westphalia #Allowing me to gitch out and become an Easter Orthodox Christian member of the HRE (since it's peace between ALL Christians after all) #I can't even begin to explain how funny this is. Everyone picked sides based on me being Catholic! #When I switched sides all my allies were my enemies and all my enemies were my allies now. #Everyone lined up to kick my ass and I joined the queue. Then we beat up on some kid instead of me #Anyhow I also married into England without an heir and just... Got a Tudor as heir. The game pesters me to bring back the Habsburgs but no #It's better this way cause then I can try to take control over all the other Tudors (they hate me so that'd be hard) #England rebelled during my orthodox rebellion and so became an independent state seperate from Britian. Those are now two distrinct entitie #There's a England and there's a UK but they're nowhere near each other #And England wants to colonize overseas despit being landlocked. Like... No. Go back to paying me taxes!

In hindsight it is kinda funny in an ironic sense that Rebels, the show where Bo-Katan is literally only featured in one two-part episode with both parts being 22 minutes long each, still made time to mention her sister multiple times, and then a few years later The Mandalorian Show That's All About Mandalorians Featuring Bo-Katan As The Co-Protagonist apparently can't find time to mention her once in an entire eight episode season where every episode is between 30 to 60 minutes long. Like it's still stupid and frustrating but in a cosmic sort of way it is somewhat amusing.

#whenever the ''they can't mention vital information cause it'll confuse newbies'' argument comes up in regards to star wars #rebels is ALWAYS the best counter argument #that's one thing i appreciate more about rebels as i'm rewatching it #that when it ties into other areas of the star wars universe they explain it in the simplest easiest way to understand possible #instead of just like. conveniently never mentioning things like bo's sister. or saw's sister. or ahsoka leaving the order. #y'know information that's VITAL to truly understanding those characters #but just. never comes up in any of their live-action appearances #at least not as of the time i'm posting this. ahsoka leaving the order will probably be mentioned in her show #but like it's still weird when they make a whole thing of her telling din she can't train grogu as a jedi #and the fact that she herself technically isn't one anymore conveniently isn't brought up as a reason for that #compared to rebels where she's literally just like ''yeah you guys should open the temple i can't cause i'm not a jedi anymore'' #rebels proves it really is that simple to just provide that kind of information in a quick and concise way so the newbies are all caught up #shut up tristan

There are so, so, SO many weird events surrounding Mic0lash, both in weirdly prophetic dreams and real life coincidences, that I am not even surprised he is some sort of a demon that transcended bounds of simply fiction xDDD

#personal #like.. I can't even begin to describe lol #some friends were there for me so they can confirm weird events #not explained in any other ways than 'mico is cursed' fsdhfdhsd #but the more I observe people that deeply care about him the more I feel like it is not just happening with me #bro is cursed

I did do some "finished" art but decided against posting it so have just a doodle of one of my worst fears when drawing "for my eyes only" art.

#art #digital art #doodles #oc #original art #sona #tbh i also dont like it when im doing any other art either. #but itz especially bad when i can't just explain in a way thats no incriminating #not even necicarily 🌽 or ftsh stuff. sometimes i just. draw weird shit for no reason.

This image is old as hell (2021). It was made around the same time as my fake Jerma ad, but I never posted it for obvious reasons, lol.

This ad is based off of those weird romance Renta ads I used to see all the time.

I made a whole bunch of fake ads for a point-and-click Wix site game I made (which is now defunct). These showed up as you scrolled through a bunch of fake in-game websites.

#The other ads were pretty lame and standard comparatively. This and the Jerma one were my favorite fake ads I made lol. #I was on speedrun mode trying to make this so no one seen it before the website was unveiled for Christmas. (1/2) #Also because I was embarrassed at the thought of having to explain what I was doing before it fully looked like an ad lol (2/2) #I considered drawing Naruto and Sasuke's faces myself but the idea to just paste them in was way funnier. Sasuke is straight from the manga #They're also supposed to be in a sauna but you can't really tell lol #my art #my edit #fake ad #fake advertisement #suggestive #naruto #narusasu #webcore #old web #I have an ad blocker now so I can't see those weird webtoon ads anymore but honestly I miss them. They were always hilarious to me (1/3) #Like the art and premise was always so crazy and for what? I'm waiting to watch a baking vid and I get an mpreg yaoi manga ad instead. (2/3 #Honestly respect though. Those ads always made my day. Give me something crazy instead of the same three instagram ads any day. (3/3) #also sorry to anyone who had to see this lol. I'm posting it for archival reasons and also to match the Jerma ad.

#I really like the “We're the bad guys' enemy” line. For someone I generally despise Dazai has all my favourite lines in this show… #Idk I can't really vibe with the unbalance that there is between s/kk. #Like when push comes to shove‚ Dazai has the power to keep Chuuya alive or let him die. #I understand why they make a compelling dynamic in their complexity‚ but it just doesn't do it for me. #I'm a little sad my opinion on them hasn't really changed since I watched the anime for the first time... #Also; I really can't vibe with Chuuya allowing Dazai to kill Q. Yes I know Chuuya cares about his comrades deeply. #Yes I know it can be interpreted as Chuuya seeing himself in Q as a living weapon and being disgusted by it #(though I honestly don't think that was intentional of the author). #Yes I know Chuuya is a mafioso and kills people.
