#i dont mind doing things i dislike when its important to someone

[shewreckz]

Hey your art is pretty whimsical and radical my gender non specific broseph, per chance would thou be able to enlighten us on how you draw such bodacious fine art? Like how you draw bodies and fave and what have thee. (Fr tho your art really cool and I'd like to see how you make it)

okay i have whipped up a quick little visual of my thought process while drawing!! it might not be the best cause im not the greatest at teaching but if anyones curious ^_^

first lets start with how i draw bodies

a lot of people like to do the "skeleton" method which is where you draw lines and circles to plan out where the limbs should be. honestly i really dislike doing that because i like to always have volume and shape in mind when drawing bodies, but if it works for you thats great.

instead i separate the body into different pieces, kinda like an articulated doll. i think it helps visualize all the moving parts in a 3d space and makes posing and perspective a lot easier. i can also always add the detailed anatomy on top of this basic model like you see on the left. its always important to work from simple -> complex. drawing a pose while being too worried on anatomy will really hinder your drawing process.

to improve doing this it really just takes practice and observation. i could be here all day talking about proportions, and how many heads high a person is, and each specific muscle group, but i reccomend you go and watch videos and study professional artists on your own. as someone who has been drawing and studying these things for so long, i barely think about how many heads high a person is when im drawing a body. its kind of like learning how to play and instrument or driving a car. it becomes second nature eventually, but you have to apply those skills and work through that period of time where youre still trying to program it into your brain.

after you get a hang of the basics you can take this basic model and draw all types of body shapes with it. i say its always important to play around with making your body types diverse. its not only fun to do but helps make all the characters you draw unique and recognizable. (dont be like vivziepop).

dynamic posing can be the hardest thing to master for a lot of people. the best way to learn how to pose is to not think about it too much and just doing it. for example in my figure drawing class we had to sketch out gesture drawings from a picture in 15 seconds. excercises like that help a ton in making you feel more comfortable when drawing from a reference. you should definitely reference a LOT when it comes to poses, it helps build this visual database so that eventually you can get to the point where you can just draw accurate and dynamic poses from memory. after getting to this point eventually you kind of start thinking of your canvas as this tangible 3d space and considering your characters in 3d space helps make the poses feel a lot more realistic and interesting.

ok now a quick little tour into how i draw different faces yaaaayy!!!1!1!1

main thing with my art is that i LOVEEE drawing dynamic face shapes i think its so important to avoid drawing the same slim faces over and over. shape language plays a big role into this. like for example the face on the middle is more square, the one on the left is more oval and the one on the right is more circle. shape language helps communicate so much about your character without even saying a word about them and just helps differentiate people from a glance.

facial features also play a huge role into making your faces different. these are all drawn from the same exact face shape but look like entirely different characters by adding variety in the features. different noses, eye shapes, lips, etc. can make such a huge difference

i think before any of that its important to learn the anatomy of the face though. again im not gonna go into how many eyes wide a face it or how far the nose is from the mouth but like its always important to learn the fundamentals before stylizing stuff. again the face is a 3d space and if you dont consider your face a 3d plane the features will kind of just look like theyre floating on your characters face like soup...theres a lot of great resources and tutorials online take advantage of those!!! and reference from artists you like too it helps a ton.

and then you mix that all together and Boom you have cool and interesting faces. you will best that same face syndrome in no time if you take my advice Trust...

anyways yeah thats the soda design philosophy hit that like button if you liked it or douse me with tomatoes and kick me off the stage if you think i give bad advice ill leave the decision up to you

#soda's art #art tutorial #errmmm yeah idk how to be a teacher im sorry

WIBTA if I didn’t let my friend bring their partner to social events?

We are all in our 30s and all trans/NB/queer. My friend (B) and I have known each other nearly 20 years, and over those years they’ve had a rough dating history. They’ve had several emotionally and mentally abusive or neglectful partners, further details about that I won’t give here. I’ve met most of them and they’ve always disliked me for various reasons (usually they were just jealous of the place I held in their life).

Recently though, B seems to have found someone who makes them happy (we’ll call them T) and T treats them better than their previous partners. Which is great! I’m happy for B. But I find T insufferable.

Granted, I don’t have to see T very often, but when I do its always uncomfortable.

The first time I met T they trauma dumped immediately. In the first half hour I knew all about their horrible family but couldn’t tell you any hobby or interest they had. We were in a very public place and I didn’t feel it was the most appropriate topic to get to know someone, but I tried to relate with my own stories all the same. However, T always had to “one up” every story I told. it felt like a “whose childhood was worse” competition.

The second time we all hung out T ignored me completely, really only hanging around and talking to B. Since it was B’s birthday I didn’t really mind at all. Plus, we were at a beercade so everyone was kinda off doing their own thing. But even when we all sat down they just kinda threw looks my way but didnt say a word to me.

But most recently I had hosted a halloween party (it was only 8 folks so tiny party) where B and T both showed up. When T asked me how work was going I started with what I felt was a normal “Ah yeah, it sucks but—” and before I could say anything else they spoke over me to say

“Yeah you’ve mentioned you hate your job every time I’ve seen you so thats sort of my only impression of you :/ ”

(a possibly important side note: B and T are both doing things that they enjoy but have to hustle a bit to make ends meet whereas I have a full time retail job through which i have insurance so leaving isnt as easy for me since I have more tied up in my job than just a paycheck)

This really pissed me off, as not only is being interrupted a huge pet peeve, but there are aspects of my job I enjoy. I just never got to talk about them because the conversation would either divert or we would just stop talking altogether. Also the way they came across felt pretty judgmental.

T then proceeded to spend the rest of the evening talking about everything from the movie to the snacks with therapy speak and trauma processing. (ex: I think I’m locked into this movie because it might’ve been a safe haven for me during my childhood and I just dont remember watching it but I can feel its importance to me) And only ever to B, never engaging with anyone else.

(another note: they are not the only one at the party with anxiety. two of my other friends have severe social anxiety and while maybe a little awkward were still able to hold casual conversations. no one was a stranger to anyone at the party)

This also meant that I didn’t get to spend any time with B during the party either, which was a shame cause I see them so rarely.

I understand that trauma processing is important and its great if you have someone in your life that can help you. It does not need to happen every where all the time. And I’m worried that B might be getting taken advantage of like they have in the past (in the sense that they have to do all the emotional legwork in the relationship and get very little of that effort back).

I’m tired of catering to this attitude and I don’t enjoy being around them, so I no longer want to involve them in group events I host.

would that make me an asshole?

What are these acronyms?

Do you know of anywhere I can get an unbias list as possible as to why people don't like vivzie - I'm one of these people who can't really separate easily so I would like to at least be made aware and not have to trawl through things - if you dont want to thats fine ill ask someone else

Honestly, there are so many scandals I think it'd be impossible to document them all, but here are the main ones. My opinion is that there are some valid complaints in there, but people are so wanky that none of it fucking matters. I also think its important to know she's Bi and Latina herself, for context.

Wrote a hypersexual gay pornstar, to cries of homophobia

Said character is canonically a victim of sexual assault, and fans dislike how it was handled in a leaked clip, despite him being hypersexual. (The whole episode isn't out yet, so no way of knowing how the other, non-hypersexual characters handle this.)

Is generally accused to have a non-con fetish, I haven't seen evidence of this though. (I wouldn't care if she did.)

Made a dirty joke about said character, people thought was about the S/A. Vivzie was HORRIFIED people thought that, since it was about how he's a hypersexual pornstar.

Gave a lesbian character the nickname Vaggie, BEFORE she made said character a lesbian.

Wrote a mixed-race character that didn't look POC enough. Keep in mind that none of the characters look how they did in life, and, in my opinion, don't look like any specific race. (the character is Alastor if you want to decide what race he looks like yourself.)

They also don't like that said character practises voodoo, when Viv herself does not and its a closed religion. This whole show is a bastardization of hell, so I don't get why people were expecting respectful portrayals of religion. So far, we've only seen 2 seconds of him doing that, and thus have no idea how its handled.

The studio that produces Hazbin doesn't play the employees enough. This is a valid complaint, but I doubt Vivziepop is the one setting the salaries. also, no fucking way is she the only one guilty of this.

There was a rapist working on the pilot, and he was fired before he could work on the main show. His name isn't even on any of the credits for the pilot.

Before Hazbin/Helluva (she was either 18 or 19), made a comic about a 17 y/o student sleeping with a 19 y/o teacher, that portrayed the teacher as a fucking creep. But any portrayal of the bad topics is...

There are some discord screenshots of her saying problematic things, but discord screenshots are so fucking easy to doctor that there's no way I buy them.

extra luke thoughts i couldnt be bothered to edit

my tone in more edited writing often ends up sounding a bit. melodramatic and over-think-y, but i dont really perceive luke as a sad character! he's someone incredibly resolute, and even if his surface level opinions seem harsh, they're brittle and easy to break through. i think luke worries too much about being fragile, when that fragility can just as easy become /flexibility/. i believe this flexibility built on his foundation of genuinely strong morals will make him - already makes him - incredibly strong as a person. 

i do think there's some inevitable heartbreak that will happen - luke idolises too much for that to not be the case - but i don't think there is much that is unsurvivable for him. part of why i'm so irritated by a lot of the excessive infantalisation and chihuahua jokes about him is that like...he is the character who has received the most development in obey me. like he has changed a LOT throughout the story, and while i won't spoil anything there is a clear arc, and even WITHOUT that luke is already incredibly up there so far as strength in character (as a person, not as a literal character). the jokes just feel...so misplaced, i guess? like he's not some over eager annoying brat that wants everyone out of the way so he can take over, he's genuinely eager to learn, and his hostility to demons is completely understandable and the reasons he has for fearing them (being evil) is literally something a lot of the demon cast take pride in for a good chunk of the plot. 

admittedly i think a lot of my frustration also comes from chihuahuas being notoriously mistreated and boiled down to accessories (hence why theyre often aggressive and yappy. theyre small, their needs arent being met and they cant defend themselves any other way) because i sure do lack the parental/older sibling urges needed to feel like...protective or genuinely attached to luke in any sorta way. he's like bottom 3 on my list of charas to care about and thats not out of dislike, just out of apathy. but i also cant stand for slander and hypothetical injustice (/lh) so im gonna complain!!!

ANYWAYS if nothing else i think. lukes belief is important. like he really trusts that people like micheal and simeon are good, and will be good and keep that strength. by that same virtue he can have a similar confidence in himself, not arrogance, mind, just. yeah. hes good. he knows that!! he needs to learn to be better since the racism isnt ideal but yknow-

speaking of learning hes REAL determined like!! hes genuinely happy to keep working and trying. he doesnt want to be coddled because he genuinely wants to know and be better.  like. he DOES think like a child. he wants to grow up so fast, but he has so much time, so much more than most, but if he has all the time in the world then why not NOW? (course, waiting is easy for patience, simeon, someone who hasnt let time move for himself in centuries)

i think theres a sorta. inevitable conflict with simeon and luke coming whether solmare mentions it or not but like. dynamic wise. because simeon refuses to see change in others unless they dont let it be ignored, he needs everyone to be within his perception of them and the role hes assigned them in his mind. but luke is someone who WILL change, and is changing, and simeon can only infantalise him for so long before it genuinely becomes a problem, especially when it’s balanced/offset by the way that him and luke very much begin playing the roles of a struggling parent and over eager child. while luke is strong, and good, and genuinely skilled, he also needs time to be none of those things. everyone does, but it’s especially important for child development, even if said child is over a thousand years old. 

its something that id argue does give us way more insight to the celestial realm than a lot of other vague exposition we’ve gotten. while luke is considered especially talented, there never seems to be any indication that he is odd for an angel, adult or child. that combined with how vacant the celestial realm feels, how emotionally detached it is, gives some interesting extra details to the basis of the celestial realm not being holy and happy in the way it’s implied/perceived to be. which isnt a new revelation by any stretch, but...context, yknow? extra supporting evidence. idk! these are my rambles that i am putting out many of which are years old and some that i thought about literally yesterday!!!

-SDRA2

Nyx lives with Mech-Armed Nagito, as Nyx doesnt really have anywhere else to stay. Nyx is a ‘replacement member’ for Kirasagi Foundation, so Nyx is just a member to replace someone whose supposed to be in one of the missions. Nyx wants to study psychology, but due to the Kirasagi Foundation, Nyx doesnt have much free time. Because of this, Kirasagi Foundation wanted Nyx to be there on the program for SDRA2, its just that Nyx came in too early and messed with some things that made Nyx’s conscious came to the school trip. Nyx tried their best to blend in with the students and acted as a student so they dont look weird. Here are some points:

-Nyx has beef with Nikei. just because Nikei looks ugly. And also i changed a bit for Nikei to planning to shoot Nyx instead.

-Like i said in DRA section Nyx stayed away from Higa Island and stayed in their room instead.

-Nyx believes fully that Teruya is just acting of him enjoying being in Nyx’s presence and Nyx believes that Teruya actually dislikes them fully. Nyx fantasizes a lot on if teruya liked them. (spoilers, teruya genuinely likes nyx)

-Nyx threatens to shave Mikado’s hair bald and to deepfry his remaining hair into noodles so that Nyx can eat them when Mikado manages to annoy Nyx.

-Nyx had a suspicion that Nikei and Yuki could be in Void. So Nyx was partially right about their suspicion.

-Nyx constantly makes a comedic joke out of a lot of things around them, and constantly makes fun of their own experiences and trauma from DRA to get others to maybe laugh, because Nyx enjoys seeing the characters reactions.

-Nyx sees Mikado as a joke.

NYX’S SDRA2 BIO:

BIRTHDAY: September 15

WEIGHT: 48 kg

HEIGHT: 168 cm

BUST: 70 cm

LIKES: cute things, drawing, studying people, teruya otori, sleeping.

DISLIKES: mitch, uncomfortable clothing, overly-textured food, and overboard scented things.

if you have any questions, feel free to ask!! :3q

Nyx and Nikei beef just bc journalist boi is ugly 😂😂

Okay but him planning to shoot them, not cool bro 😔

Nyx, Teruya would die for you, and wants nothing more than to keep you safe in this nightmare

Mikado’s hair is already deep fried noodles, so they probably don’t have to do much (Probably the one thing them and Nikei can agree on)

Nyx making comedic jokes about everything around them in their past is just like me fr

If Nyx ever runs out of jokes, they can just say Mikado /j

Important note for other ask: I don’t mind the multiple asks :) But before I should include your ask with your link to the Google doc, I just wanna warn you that you should make it so others can’t edit it, as this is the internet and I’m not the only one who can use the link.

~🌺

(I hope you enjoy!!!)

Okay but like- all I did was skim read and I immediately got Dust/Horror vibes! However the more I read the more I realize you are totally a perfect match for…

DUST

I feel as if Dust is very smart and usually keeps to himself but is also surprisingly easy to talk to, he isn’t the type to judge. So you two already get along so well!

While Dust is quiet and very secretive, he isn’t scared by others easily. Dust is totally the type to walk up to the McDonald’s counter and say “They asked for no pickles” and stare at them while they remake your food.

Along with that Dust would never and I mean never allow anyone to talk negatively about his partner, especially to their face. He isn’t the type to blow up at someone he’s actually scarily calm. He will approach them exchanging some less-than-kind words.

Dust is pretty quiet as well, maybe saying a few words or sentences a day. He loves the quiet little moments, especially if they’re with you. If you want to talk or have something to rant about he’ll gladly listen.

I can imagine you two cuddling up on his bed just relaxing and enjoying each other's vibe. Maybe he’s playing video games and you’re knitting- which he will totally ask you about. Like why you enjoy it, what kind of things can you make, and what else you like to do.

He isn’t into cooking but he knows someone who does! Horror will totally be your best friend and fellow chef. Dust likes watching from the table as you two cook, and you definitely won’t hear him complain about being the taste tester.

Dust isn’t apathetic in fact, when you start talking to him about something you enjoy he sets down everything. You have his full attention because even if he doesn’t like what you do it’s still something you like, so it’s important to him. He also likes seeing how happy you get when you explain to him how to knit or what you’re doing. He will also keep a mental note of your favorite brands or if he sees some yarn at the store that he knows you’ll like, he will steal buy it for you!

Not liking antagonistic people.. yikes that might cause some problems.

Dust feels awful about what he has done so he isn’t overly cruel, since he’s joined the Nightmare crew the murderous rampage has definitely calmed down a little! Jazz hands!

If you talk to him about it, cause it makes you uncomfortable or it just really upsets you he will stop killing unless he has to ie. protecting himself, you, or his teammates.

Dust would be your perfect match because you both like similar things and I can imagine you both having a very relaxing relationship, very quiet and peaceful but still extremely love-filled and happy!

tbh re my post about mcrp when i think about the s9 king ren arc in relation to that-- i didnt dislike it like i disliked s8. thats mostly bc of how it was handled.... which is that if someone wasnt directly involved with ren then like. there was no weird feeling that you were actually missing out on something big. like i didnt need to see ren's rping if a hermit was just minding their own business, they werent being forced into a plot and because of that, they could record and play with no real issues or interference.

its important in any big event that if someone isnt involved, its doesnt feel like their viewers are missing something. i point this out in comparison to s8 because the s8 world was right in your face about what story it was projecting onto everyone. the world getting weird with blocks and the moon getting big and if you watched someone not involved then youre just like watching weird shit in the background... ??? if someone ignored that plot their whole season youre left with some random thing you dont really get or sometimes awkward crossing over w people rping really hard while others werent. but king ren didnt do that in such an obtrusive way-- i didnt wanna see the rp so i didnt and i continued watching ppl who were on their own, without any issues being unaware of the things he was doing.

ren really had his own rp things going on and that was great for anyone who wanted it! and i feel like when i didnt i wasnt missing out or confused the entire time. and when other hermits who werent into rping were in any contact with it, it was just about doing "quests" which... werent rp either, they were just normal things to do. it was just 'hey guys, ren set up this cool thing to do quests' and nothin else. they did not have to put on a character and become part of a story arc. and i still give much props to ren for that bc its again another thing that did not interrupt other hermit's existing season if they didnt want to rp legit. the quests were just getting items, helping the server, fan interaction... so it worked.

even the smallest crossovers of uninvolved hermits didnt cause a continuing issue in their videos-- the point is that compared to s8, this wasnt a world wide event that forced itself on players in a way they couldnt avoid. s8 was on a timer with its plot which caused all kinds of issues imo. king ren impacted the server for a bit but now its like....it never happened. not in a bad way, just that it was not a permanent thing that would affect everyone, you know? even if someone didnt care for anything king ren, you can keep watching with no issue bc from many povs its like it never happened.

i get people like s8 but i see it often loved by those accustomed to the new age of mcrp. which is why i find it annoying when its applied to hermitcraft which is not at all the mcrp people keep projecting onto it. because hc hasnt ever focused on that, or has it done so in a way that works- bc they just dont do that in general.

#ok i will be an open hater abt s8 now #done hiding it lol #and YES there was blatant evidence of ren Existing i know but that is not what i mean #when i talk about the rp being 'forced' on people #but read my second to last paragraph if youre gonna try and point stuff like that out

[wildtornado-o]

Feeling angry abt aini and cant sleep heres a rant lol, want to get my thoughts out

Still not over how unecessary aini was. The first game ended in such a lovely way for all (well most, sorry Pewter) of the characters, and while i do have some issues with it (The lack of Mizuki's importance in the true route) I do understand why some of the things weren't done. However, aini kind of trampled over a lot of the worldbuilding from the first game and destroyed so many of the themes as well. It ruined character development and comepletely threw out important relationships and destroyed the ones that did matter. It added things that dont make sense when you look at the first game, everything with Mizuki, everything with Boss, a lot of stuff with ryuki, bibis whole existence, Kizunas whole existence, Amames age retcon and then proceeding to put her into a creepy relationship, making Gen and Lien exist and acting like theyve been Date's chums for a while when he really WOULDNT be friends with them when comparing them to the likes of Ota, who he didnt like very much until he got his arc played out. A lot of the lore with the psync machine was also just weird. I know it wasn't ever confirmed in the first game that Date was the only one with an AI-Ball but with how he and Aiba were treated and the fact that people can psync without them the thought that other people might have them never occurred to me because it doesnt really um. Make sense isnt the right term here but, it doesnt "make sense" that they would just rip out employees eyes and replace them (even if abis is morally questionable) Cloning and gene experiments for imortality also comes out of nowhere because they wanted to make THAT plot twist and then the FRAYER STUFF? I HATE The frayer stuff omgg it makes me so mad i want to rip someone to shreds, and the tokiko stuff too like. I dunno I very much dislike when media takes the "meta" route and says the whole thing is a game, it breaks the immersion of the world completely for me. I also hated the timeline jumps. And the whole spoiler toggle, why make a sequel if youre going to have that its just pointless and harms the game. ANYWAYS This whole post to say I do not want a third game, it would very likely connect to the other 2 which would suck because it would be building off a shitty sequel. And even if it WASNT connected to the other games i would kind of be even less interested because like. Idk. Aitsf is a very character driven story in the first game at least, everything is tied to Date and characters and development, it would really suck for a third game to just, switch the cast (that was already butchered mind you) So truly, i do not want a third game I can only see myself hating it. HOWEVER. A datomi dlc......

#sorry i KNOWW i hate on this game a lot but it really is because i went from the experience of the first game being my all time favourite #to the sequel being the most dogshit game ive played #the first is still like one of my faves ever but it is a little tainted and it hurts #long post #negative #very negative #in a sour mood and cant sleep might delete when i finally wake up djsksk

one thing that always confuses me when it comes to gender identity and like. letting my family know that 'hey, i am trans' roight is

i guess i just dont get it? how you can completely value someone on the basis of their gender identity. cuz like. im not my gender identity. im dom. past whether im a guy or a girl, im me. im a person and i like things, i dislike things, etc

i just dont get the whole "ohh woe is me, my daughter is dead now" thing that parents go thru, because like.. isnt there more about me that you liked? maybe in my case, no, since i tend to be pretty closed off from my family, but like..

i have friends and i love my friends. more than anything, i love my friends. i love THEM. as people. i dont care what pronouns they go by, what they identify as. i see them as they are, which is my friends. thats why like.. for me its so fucking EASY to go with different pronouns and name and all that, my older brother came out as trans to me a couple years after i was out and despite knowing him all my life as a different name with different pronouns, i have to very intentionally make sure not to call him by he and by his name in front of my mom cuz hes not out to her yet, ITS A STRUGGLE to revert back to a name that he isnt anymore, you feel me?

it just seems so shallow to me, like.. idk MAYBE it has something to do with my funny autism brain cuz i really just dont get most sort of society role type shit but how does your love for someone stop when they decide to go by a different name? i think thats crazy cuz thats the VERYLIKE. SURFACE LEVEL SHIT and still its somehow too hard for them

ive tried to explain to my mom like. i find it very easy because im able to see the people i love past their gender and their physical appearance and WHATEVER. i see them as them, as their heart their mind their soul. if someone comes out to me and tells me oh i dont feel like a boy right, the first reaction i have is not "oh so you want me to call you a girl? and you want she pronouns?" which seems to be a very common parent response im noticing. my first thought is "okay, my friend is opening up to me about a change in their identity, so my job as a friend is to change how i see them" because its true! its so important in my opinion past like. okay fine ill call you what you wanna be called, like no!!!

i dont want you to call me a boy just cuz you think its what i want, i want you to respect me as a person enough to see that im presenting a change to you, and take it upon yourself to accept that change. i dont wanna be called dom out of obligation. i want them to love me so much that they would have no problem switching what they see me as. because im not just a girl, or a boy. im dominic, im me. im my own person past what you see on the outside. thats the cool part about friends and family is that you get to let them see whats inside and theyre supposed to love you for you

maybe thats not what i get with a lot of my family, but i definitely get it from my friends and im so grateful for that

ngl one of my least favorite theories around 3 is stuff about random characters being related to other past ones. Like. ok in future redeemed it warrants some discussion but stuff like “cammuravi is pyras kid” or “ashera is dunbans”. idk I know its anime and they usually use hair and eye color to denote relation but. more than one fire blade exists sobs. Who would Dunban even have kids with.

Like I personally don’t mind the cast of future redeemed being so interconnected and related bc first off its kind of funny. they’re a big family road trip. and second there’s clearly a sadness behind it bc rex and shulk probably dont want to tell these versions of their kids who they believe dont have long left that “hey you have a family but you’ll barely get to enjoy it”. Like Nia in the base game, they have to put aside their feelings as parents while also giving their kids support when they can.

Also it’s a dlc and not a main story game so it being a lot of legacy characters also doesn’t bother me as much. Like when all but one of 3′s main party followed the Xenoblade trend of being “just some guys” overall (yes Noah had a reincarnation thing but Noah/N in general doesn’t have a bloodline connection he seems to just have been a kid from the Bionis) the fact that they went a bit ham on the fanservice here feels a bit more deserved, if that makes sense.

That being said I do generally dislike the idea important characters have to always be related to just some other important character. It’s boring and makes the world feel smaller and I heavily dislike implications that to be important you need to be related to someone important. just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

#ik that panacea girl is most likely gonna be Sharla and reyns kid and that bothers me a BIT more ngl. somewhat on principle but also bc i #just dont like sharla and reyn as a couple the game is so weird about it no I dont wanna see an older engaged woman have the 'hole in her #heart' filled by 18 year old like they're not THAT far apart in age but like. cmon I dont think its 'creepy' just kind of demeaning to her #kind of also reminds me of what warrior cats is doing rn with its love interests lol #ok the only one I do like is that dirk is mythras son is fucking hilarious until proven wrong im going to be thinking about it #xenoblade #xenoblade chronicles

Hii Star

Can I vent here ?

If not then pls ignore this one.

Idk why am I writing it here bcz I know the "solution " to my problem but things just have stressed time so bad today. And I feel safe in a few blogs and today I thought to write in one of these blogs, yours.

I am manifesting a better sc. I havr to more siblings I am the oldest. I feel like I have the worst sc among them. Wherever I go they always get more important than me and I am sort of sidelined. I hate this happening. All the time. I do so much for my parents and my grandma too but they all treat them better than me. I hate to admit it but I am jealous, I know i seem so bad and I dont want to feel this way. I never want my siblings to feel the way I feel ,never bcz its horrible. My youngest brother ,he literally trats me like shit, I have no idea why always rude to me and sometimes talk to me as if I am some animal. I hate to even interact with him anymore , we fight a lot and he says so much mean stuff about me and I get offended bcz they are my big insecurities. I feel like some ugly , someone people dislike for no reason at all kind of a person. Its painfull , despite knowing I have the power to change I have some bad days and today was one of them. I was doing great in my sc affirming and stuff fro the past few days. But its difficult I admit , always seeing my sister getting more favoured , loved , valued appreciated than me all the time it hurts bcz I jsyt am some side person. I tryy best to not let these hold me and make me fall. In family functions my sibling and cousins have a great time and i am all alone or like some useless wheel with everone else. But its difficult and I thought instead of suppressing these feelings I need to let them out. I want to love myself, and know I am interesting anx someone people love to be with, I have something special and I am satisfied and secure in myself, I want to feel these and experience these so bad but my conditioning gets hold of me. All those insecurities feel so real and so true that anything else feels like I lie. I sometimes feel like a loser bcz why would I be worth anything or be special to people or others, I dont lokk that good, I am not interesting to be with, I feel mediocre,y body has become fat , I failed miserable in my competitive exams this year , I dont have a clear career or future , I procrastinate, watch tv shows for long hours ,dont follow routines I set for me no matter how easy it is, say something foolish or dumb in front of people , literally theres nothing good about me and so much more shit.

I know what I have to and need to do. I am doing my best at a slow pace. I am trying. Its hard but I know I can grt through with this. I did not complain but there was so much in my heart and I wanted to let u out idk who to talk to or where to vent so I said it here.

You can always vent here! You're always welcome to let it out

I want to say I'm proud of you for getting through this. Life can be hard but you're still pushing through and that makes you so strong! I want to remind you of the power you have, you are so freakin powerful! You are a limitless being who can manifest anything in the blink of an eye! You got this, you can change the story. Remember that the 3d is a straight reflection of your internal imagination! The 3d must conform to you, so if you change you assumption about these things, they will change also! I believe in you and I know you can do anything you put your mind to. I know it can be so hard to do anything when you are in a depressive state. I have been there. Hell I was there until I started dining into making my own blog! You can get through this. I just want to tell you you are loved, I love you and I will always be here for you! I am proud of you for saying how you feel! I am proud of you for just existing! You can get through this! I will be here to help you manifest what you want get through all of this! You are amazing, I know you are worthy! You are worthy of anything you could ever imagine wanting! Remember you are amazing!

[nevernotnotnotting]

im rewatching doctor who with my partner (they’ve never seen it, ive watched up to s9 but haven’t finished it and haven’t watched dw in years- I was obsessed as a teen tho)

we just finished s2 and ive come to the realisation that i hate it. i do not like it. its not enjoyable to me. love and monsters?? are you kidding me?? the fuckin 50s tv one?? the cat hospital?? like there are episodes that i think are objectively good that i just don’t enjoy (impossible planet/satan pit is fascinating, and there’s a lot of interest with the parallel world stuff) but overall i just really really /really/ dislike rose and ten together. don’t like it.

theyre insufferable, they’re not nearly human enough (like dw as a whole does treat a lot of serious stuff without gravity, but this season is atrocious for it - it’s like the second he regenerated ten went ah it’s all fine now!! im over the time war it’s fine (: never mind that his entire planet and species died a year or two ago for him), and everything that they have holding them together seems to be what happened when the doctor was a completely different person (ie before he regenerated). he’s important to her not bc of who he is now but bc of what they went through and who he was before he regenerated, and she’s important to him because she’s his only family since the time war.

they remind me of a couple who’s been married for like 5 years, but they got married while like they were in school or one of them was in the military or something and now that their circumstances have changed the only thing holding them together is the fact that they’re already together. like they love each other- but why? what do they actually love about each other? their history, that’s 95% of it. ive had this opinion for years about them as a ship, but frankly I’m realising this about them as any kind of relationship, platonic or not. i dont like them together and i dont think they’re good together or for each other.

also like- rose is 19 when they meet. she dropped out of school and works in a shop and dates someone she knew growing up. she experiences a lot more and grows up a lot during her time with the doctor, but she’s still at most 21 by the end of s2- she’s still a kid. like developmentally, she’s not full grown yet. she and nine work together bc their relationship is based on understanding that huge power imbalance, which is partly bc of how much older (and less traditionally attractive) nine looks, partly because she’s newer to the tardis, and partly because of how different nine’s attitude is to so much.

idk im glad to be up to s3 for sure. i don’t understand martha hate, i adore her, and i think most of her season is really good. i wish they’d spent less time having her moon (lol) over the doctor, i think it does both of them a real disservice, but she’s a great character and person and i love her arc and the series arc as a whole (i ship ten/john simm master Heavily so this should not be surprising but i do think that it genuinely holds up).

i just, i don’t understand why so many fans love rose/roseten/s2 when to me the whole thing feels like the writers had a really strong vision for s1, finished it, and went ah. didn’t think we’d get this far, have uhhh a werewolf i guess??? and then so many fans have such a negative opinion of martha & s3, when imo that’s when they wrestled the story back into something that’s really very narratively strong. like there’s dodgy bits and bad episodes (i am Not looking forward to lazarus or the pig people lol) but they’re bits and episodes, and even the parts that are dodgy can still be really enjoyable (i love the shakespeare code!! it’s so fun!! someone please either let martha smack bill for being racist, have someone else do it on her behalf, or just don’t put the racism in, but other than that it’s a really enjoyable episode). the daleks episodes are genuinely so good, and the family of blood, and blink???? and everything with the master??? sick as fuck. i love it. im so excited to enjoy the show again lol.

#nnn tagging conventions have changed since I was here last #if I tag the show will people get mad at me for tagging hate? it’s not hate I genuinely love the show #doctor who crit #martha Jones #imgivingyoutheposts #media criticism

[cornerstorebitch]

please answer separately if you don't mind

when men check you out do you think it's a stronger position to pull a face expressing disgust or simply ignore it

what if the woman in question has the desire and will to express overt disapprobation but the curled lip or stony eye does not consistently have a deterrent effect (especially when it comes to someone with an effaced sense of shame, eg very unattractive or unhygienic man) --i.e., have you ever found a way to put men off that sort of broadly works without reading them as individuals

if i feel an acute sense of dislike when men that i don't know look at me for more than a cursory glance is this abnormal? if there's no way to make them stop then am i healthier entertaining vicious thoughts of castration and digging out eyes with spoons or just trying to pretend they don't exist? the latter feels like accepting defeat but the former tempts one to confrontations which could be unwise, although danger is certainly context dependent; for instance i always get away with comments like 'so sorry youve never learnt manners', but tbh most people don't have either sufficient depth or mental alertness to hear an insult in that statement

do you think it gives a prey-impression if a person does not enjoy making eye contact and avoids it in every context but manages to be argumentative and at least a bit assertive in other ways

(less important, but how comical do you think a belated response looks if it's sufficiently eloquent?)

about eye contact again, what if it isn't a matter of timidity but simple (although strong) disinclination to look at mob faces which hold too much individual data, these with few exceptions not being particularly relevant to one's life

i know this is a lot to answer, especially from the library; seems a distracting environment. i'd appreciate anything you can do though.

thanks always for your lucidity of thought and hope you're doing really well

dont take this as some sorta what would jesus do thing but i think the key to most of these questions is simply asking yourself what a man would do in the same situation. if some dude was getting actively stared down absolutely nobody would think it was out of line for him to ask that person what the fuck their problem is. thats all it takes in most situations lol its literally an expression of furry mammal instincts to not want something with forward facing eyes giving you the death stare. nobody likes it. you have to treat crazy people like theyre crazy or they dont ever stop acting like freaks in public. 

lack of eye contact almost always gives a prey impression on a subconscious level i would wager. like if you were to scan peoples brains or whatever. (how you would measure for that i dont know im not a doctor im just rewatching house) but most people are so profoundly conflict avoidant that just disagreeing or being assertive like you said is enough to get their hackles up. 

i think belated verbal responses are always jarring to people pretty much, which reads as comedy usually, but i guess it depends on the context. in any situation other than a verbal conversation it wouldnt make a difference

hope you are doing well too hi from the public library 

[demoiselettes]

Can I get a Demon slayer match up!:)

I want a male character

Im a girl

So basically how I look physically , I wear bangs on my face and have a pony tail on the side with all my hair going down but sometimes I like having two buns or two pig tails cause I like looking cute. Im asian , 5,2. Black long hair , I like to wear scrunchies or hair bows and I like girly dresses , skirts and crop tops. Im have social anxiety , its very hard for me to make friends cause it scares me , Im artistic(I like to draw and sketch) and I like anime.

I like eatting candy and I like stuff toys so I guess you can say I am a bit childish.

Im a bit chubby cause I like eatting but its not noticable

Im introverted and Im not interested in talking to most people cause I find them boring but I have a close friend group , Im usually stand off-ish with people but if we are close I make a lot of dirty jokes and im very playful and light hearted but again half the time I will be introverted. I like deep conversations , talking about feelings and philosophical things and Im self conscious of how I look and im insecure but I dont tell anyone unless we are close. I like deep emotional connections , Im an INFP

I really like physical affection , I like PDA.

I'm idealistic and I day dream a lot about romance and etc but Im not a hopeless romantic.

I have an inner world in my mind.

I like helping my close friends out.

I don't like small talk.

I want to make friends but my anxiety is a lot

I get jealous of others a lot and I need to be nurtured

I want someone to focus on me than other people and don't forget im there when im around people cause in groups Im quiet.

I want someone to care about me and nurture my feelings a lot and I like feeling valued.

I make very lewd jokes and I make some other jokes others may laugh at or find me weird

I really like positive people because I look up to them and I think their cool but I want someone with emotional depth to talk about deep inner emotions

I can also tell when someones upset or sad simply because I can based off of body language.

I like being there for others even though sometimes I dont know what to do , im very emotionally nurturing , I like spending time with people I love a lot.

I also live in a fantasy world in my mind and I love music and I like making people see me as attractive or act playful and bubbly cause it boosts my self esteem and makes me feel hot

Sometimes I can be too quiet but it depends on my mood , I dislike most people cause I view them as "Normal"

I tend to procrastinate

Eventide

I match you with Uzui Tengen!

•You and Tengen share a really similar trait: you both tend to see most people as ‘normal’ or ‘drab’

•Tengen has the need to be flashy, and seeing people go about doing mundane tasks with no hint of extravagance

•The people close to Tengen: his wives, Kyojuro, etc.. all differ from others in an important way; they can be recognized everywhere from how.. ah, unusual they are

•And Tengen loves that! Therefore, you seeking people who are not..boring will be what draws him to you

•Tengen, by all means, has a huge sex appeal and definitely loves his dirty sense of humor

•He wouldn’t think twice before flirting with you, even if he’s in public

•Your playfulness is his weakness

•He can never get tired of retaliating when you’re in a playful mood and he will get touchy feely

•It’s even better once he finds out you’re fond of PDA

•He’ll just randomly pull you into his lap at times press kisses over your face

•If he finds out that you think of romance a ton, he’ll take it as a personal challenge to live up to your daydreams and standards

•Whatever you envision, whether it be a date, a gift or something else, he’s on his way to make that mere thought a reality, in double flashiness

•Tengen isn’t really a big fan of emotional or deep conversations

•This doesn’t equal to him being shallow, he simply doesn’t find it fun to dive into deep subjects

•But you’d be surprised at how understanding he can be, specially to those he cares for

•When you’re in the mood to take a deep dive down philosophy lane, he’ll be there to listen and to share his own views

•Like you, Tengen isn’t the type to value small talks

•His conversations need to spark interest and to really get people listening

•Safe to say, he’s rarely ever quiet around you

•Even if you’re not in the mood to talk, he’s gonna be having a one sided discussion and asking you rhetorical questions

•Tengen basically showers you in affection and attention

•Even when you’re not with him, he talks about you to others just to show you off

•In his mind, you’re the embodiment of a goddess and he isn’t afraid to remind you of how amazing you are everytime

•No, i mean, he’s gonna pop up with a compliment at the most random moments

•Your need to appear bubbly and all in all attractive matched Tengen’s need to be the centre of attention, but he knows it can get exhausting at times, and he isn’t shy to tell you not to overdo it

•He didn’t just fall in love with your flashiness, he fell in love with you

•Tengen is an all round extrovert, so it’s easy for him to be surrounded by people and making friends is a natural thing to him

•So you being anxious when it comes to making friends is a new concept to him

•He doesn’t judge though(he lightly teases you about it, but will most likely stop if you seem uncomfortable), he will try to get you out of your shell to become a natural at making friends

•It doesn’t matter how long it takes, if he finds that you want to make more friends, he’ll help

•Ooooo boy, your chubbiness..

•He loves it

•Expect him to pinch your cheeks, your sides, your butt..

•He basically loves having you squished to his side

•Aside from scouring the best hot springs with you, he likes to take you to watch live amezaiku candy sculpting

•Then he buys their entire stock for you

•Your artworks decorate the halls of his estate

•Tengen loves how much shorter you are compared to him, and his favorite thing to do is picking you up and throwing you over his shoulder

•And smacking you as-

•Since we’re in the Taisho Era here, he’s getting you the same types of kimonos Hinatsuru, Makio and Suma wear and the he stares and whistles your way

•Giving head pats is his thing, and he likes to ruffle your hair, sometimes playing with your twin buns while he’s at it

•You also get the privilege to paint his face and nails, he lets you experiment with new designs from time to time

•He really only lets you because he gets to have you on his lap and to ogle you the entire time

[inkyquince]

Not to continue this vent matter, i also dislike it when strangers vent to me but to those who do, i have something to say to y’all. You guys don’t know inky beyond this blog, and whatever measly interaction u have had. And trauma-dumping onto unsuspecting ppl is rly not good bc you don’t know their triggers, you can whoever you’re trauma-dumping to have a bad mental reaction to it.

But if u guys still feel like you need to let out your feelings and you have nowhere to talk to, make a reddit acc and vent in /r/offmychest or /r/trueoffmychest. They’re places that you can genuinely vent to and have ppl support u and not accidentally trigger someone whilst ur at it. It’s that easy.

I really don't mind being vented to, but you're always gonna have to give a heads up, to your friends and especially blogs you haven't talked to before. Like...

I had made and deleted a vent post about family issues and then get an ask about family issues, while im already not doing well, with no question of if i was okay to vent to first

Mention of self harm under the cut, along with the mention of eating disorders, SA, bad family environment, homophobia, transphobia and ableism, child sexual abuse.

Also, it just reminds me of back whenever in high school, a really bad time for everyone. And whenever I was slowly getting ahold of myself, one of my "friends" basically said shit like Oh i Did A Thing and would send me a picture of their self harm marks. No heads up, no warnings, no asking if I was okay to vent to.

Of course, that would make me relapse, make me miserable and that led to them being miserable because their usual therapist friend wasnt up to making them feel better.

Its a slippery slope and there a certain topics i will need a heads up to be vented to about, or im fucked too. Self harm, eating disorders, sexual abuse, toxic family members, homophobia and transphobia and ableism. Especially child sexual abuse.

But no, if they're feeling bad, they need to be taken care of. They will preach about how important mental health is but will not care about anyone else's on their way to vent.

Sometimes its an accident, like one of my friend's roommates casually telling a story about something that happened between her and her cousin and I need 5 minutes upstairs to cry before going back down, but it wasn't her fault. Nor was it my roommate's fault who needed to talk to me about her recent experience and my friend was over who also went through the experience, and got triggered and needing some time in the bathroom to calm down. That was on me, someone who knew what both of these women had been through and didn't think to take the discussion with my room mate elsewhere or warn my friend. Because i wanted neither in pain but it didn't matter because i didnt think to make the environment safe for two people i loved.

But someone sending anon venting on the internet doesn't know me, doesn't love me or know my triggers. But who cares, right?

Who cares, because as long as their situation sucks, it means they're the one doing the worse at any given time and needs to be heard out.

I know they probably didn't mean it that way, that they just needed an ear, but ffs, sending that to me after i was already on the edge of my tether and miserable and not in a good place. They didn't care to check and so I spiraled.

I dont care that I didn't respond in a way that soothed them and made them feel better. Yes, i am sorry they're going through that, but I am not ashamed nor do i feel bad for setting some fucking boundaries, even if i was angry.
