pov style testing using csp autoline and nothing else for a whole drawing

Honestly there’s a lot of untapped potential for drama in continuations of the Everyone Hates You ending. Like here’s a bunch of Voices that you’ve traumatized and then left to rot, assuming they would never come back, but they’re here, and they’re out for blood.

Stuck in a world without change, they’re going to remain exactly as they were in their worst moments, forever hating and doomed to never get better, their wounds never healing. What would the worst version of themselves look like?

And do you try and help? Can you help, after everything you did to them. Or do you double down, and forsake them completely, becoming the big bad overlord of this new world of yours?

(trick question, I’ve thought about this a lot and am working on designs for the lil guys but as the worst versions of themselves.)

#slay the princess #stp spoilers #stp voices #slay the princess spoilers #in case it wasn’t obvious I’ve been doing an rp set after this ending lol #we’re calling is Hate AU even if it’s not technically an au per se #also yes this is where my idea for the bastard quiet originated lol #feel free to yoink this idea for your own purposes #i unexpectedly loved this ending when I set out to get it and I greatly enjoyed playing as a belligerent asshole for an entire run #highly recommend roleplaying as a villain at least once

even for period typical ableism it still drives me nuts for karen to go oh poor matt how can he deal and get around as if he hasn't been blind most of his life at this point and living on his own by himself as an adult for his entire adult life after college and has also lived in the city his whole life like girl use your damn brain he can get around by himself just fine. good god. like take five seconds to use your brain. literally adult man who lives by himself if nothing else that should tell you he is fine and when he needs assistance has the knowledge and ability to go get it you act as if he can't even walk on the sidewalk by himself. he literally shows up to work by himself. it drives me up the wall sometimes how she sees proof of him functioning fine independently literally witnesses it on the daily and still thinks these things. like again foggy isn't great either bc again the period typical ableism (and just general ableism in the world outside of this period as this is a common attitude of viewing disabled people as helpless and unable to function even if they are people who do live independently (and im not touching on people who do need extra support and caretaking in this context. as this post is about these characters in the context of a story. so im talking about what we see there instead of any truly meaningful nuanced way) but the writing here is like. Particularly this way due to the time) he has a modicum more of understanding that matt is literally a capable grown adult man. literally told karen matt is a big boy who can handle himself and then karen went b-b-but you forget he's blind as if foggy hasn't known him for years of his life and is his best friend like PLEASE SEE HIM AS AN ADULT. I AM GOING TO GO INSANE. PLEASE RESPECT HIM IF YOU LOVE HIM SO DEARLY. AND EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T. JUST RESPECT HIM AS A PERSON!!!!!!

#i think it's particularly maddening bc we have seen characters be able to understand civillian matt is like. more than just Blind Man. #i am always highly aware of period typical writing and can remember the context etc etc but sometimes. #sometimes it truly. truly does drive me up the wall. especially when other characters have been capable of not being That Level #of infantalizing. again foggy still isn't much better in a lot of respects he is just as capable of and has been as infantilizing #and insulting as karen has been. for sure. on multiple occassions. no questions asked. but i dont think he does it to the extent karen does #as in we dont see it on page just as much. it's just a bit less. so we see karen focus on it far more. to an almost exaggerated extent #part of that is the romance plot of ohhh i cannot possibly love a blind man while foggy is matt;s best friend of many years #so of course it will be in the way of the stan lee and old romance comics schools of writing that this goes down and is written like this. #of course we see her focus on it a touch more in a different way bc she's still getting to know matt and hasnt witnessed him #for about like a decade(? they met in undergrad right?) function on his own the way foggy has. but jesus christ man. good god. #at a certain point even with the period time context it does just still leave a bad taste. at certain points it becomes less eye roll #and far more maddening and hard to push down. bc it is gross. no matter what time period it is. #again. both of them are pretty disrespectful towards matt about it at this point even if mostly in their inner monologues or dialogues #with each other and not super to matt's face about it every time. but still. sometimes karen drives me far more crazy about it than foggy. #becase at least foggy can in fact recognize every now and then. matt is a perfectly capable grown man who can function and thrive. #and is someone who lives independently but also can know how to get assistance when needed. #while karen at this point has never really once given matt the benefit of that assumption despite witnessing his capabilities. #because even with his act of trying to fit the image ppl have of him. he still functions within that! and shows he can do things! #and ask for help when he needs it! even within his act of making himself smaller and quieter for others. #he's still like. adult man who lives his life. and does stuff on his own time. #i cant really speak about matt on any more deeper level than that in regards to his disabilities. i am not disabled. #i only speak as a reader and someone watching what these characters do and have proven to be able to do and how they act. #so i can only talk about karen and foggy's behaviors and attitudes in that regard. #and also as a person with like. basic understanding of other ppl living their lives. that all ppl live their own damn lives however it is #like most ppl on planet earth. #i apologize if any of my wording here is bad or if i dont talk on it well as none of this in the real world stuff is my lived experience #and you are free to go hey. incorrect. think about that or word that differently. #ok i promise im done now it's just. EUGH. UGH!!!!! #static.soundz

another dump cos i sorta kinda like these...friends and family

#dino.png #cyberpunk 2077 #myV: léo-vincent valentine #that name so annoying to type out #random léo-vin infodump of the day: he (and...only he😭) doesnt see the way hes cuddling up w panam as romantic. if they ever were to #i mean...he sortakinda romanced her. didnt get to basilisk yet. but he didnt do any of the romance options until she made a move #and even then...léo-vin is...🗿. he just goes along w whatever ppl want sometimes. #this is sometimes. also in general...terrible at romance he has no healthy perception of it soo...! #he genuinely cares for panam a deeply but like. his borderline unhealthy attachment to johnny is not helping anything #he often lets ppl decide their relationship with him bc he doesnt make any efforts to like maintain relationships w ppl that much #mama welles knows this well but he always stumbles into el coyoté at least....once every few months #if she calls he will come tho lol #in canon timeline (so dying) he would completely distance himself in hopes that his death doesnt sadden her (this is stupid) (it still will #so johnny being physically incapable of leaving him...tho it was invoulantarily he weasled his way in like jackie did #nd V ultimately does not want to be alone. so....ya! #AND SCENE #anyways. i have so much lore written for him its so fun. highly recommended.

Was thinking about that vid actually and wanted to share it just in case anyone needed it! It focuses on legitimately obtaining Pokemon, but has some really useful and obscure tidbits that you may have forgotten about, and will be lost to time once the shop goes down.

Such as:

> PokéBank will become free to use once the eShop goes down, HOWEVER. PokéTransporter will NOT be available to anyone who decides to wait until PokéBank is free if they haven't downloaded it/subbed to Bank previously. Good news is, a Bank subscription is only $5 and even though you can't add funds with a credit card or eShop card at this point, there's still a way to link funds using your Nintendo account (vid goes over this detail!)

> Obtaining the Dream Radar Therian forms of Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus (also grants them their Hidden Abilities)

> Easily obtained Gen 1/2 Hidden Ability Pokemon via Transporter, plus moves exclusive to those gens (cannot be legitimately learned in newer games)

> Catchable Celebi in Crystal Version

> Mega Glalie (or Mega Steelix depending on your 3DS's region) from the Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire demo that can be transferred to the full games

> Ash Greninja (has the ability Battle Bond) from the Sun and Moon demos that can be transferred to the full game

The eShop is shutting down this month! March 27th! So if any of this interests you, make sure you have everything!

#pokemon #3ds #3ds info #nintendo eshop #ref #if anything i highly recommend getting ash greninja. this may be the only way to legitimately obtain it. #just for the exclusivity of it alone! like i can't remember if those megas were exclusive to the demo #but i do know that once you can't use the sumo demo that weird ass greninja is probably gone forever #esppp since it was like. an anime promo crossover thing #i also recommend having at least one of a gen1/2 game. to have access to those pokemon yeah #but also! to perform funny glithes. + a ditto glitch w the shiny gyarados that gives you a shiny ditto #which makes shiny hunting in gen 2 sooooo fast and easy due to how breeding mechanics worked in gen 2 #and for that glitch you need the shiny gyarados AND a gen 1 game. um. maybe two 3DSs too? #i can't remember actually. but it does require you to bring the shiny gyarados to a gen 1 game. #i really hope this helps!!!!! and remember!!!!! it is always morally correct to hack your nintendo consoles

The med school primary application asking if my work and activities are meaningful, like by simply going out of my way to do anything doesn’t have some kind of impact on my life.

#are we not the sum total of all our memories and experiences #peace speaks #yeah I know it wants the most meaningful #but I think it's so dumb #like I volunteered in the respiratory ICU during the height of covid #I didn't really do much but it sure left an impact when family members kept desperately asking me if they could see their loved ones #and I had to tell them not yet because the doctors were doing something #like that didn't massively change me as a person or alter my viewpoint #it just made me highly uncomfortable and have the desire to go into a field where I never have to interact with patients #but I can't say that because med schools don't like you saying things like I want to go into forensic pathology #because they want you to be open to new experiences #which they can clearly tell from the fact that I have both a science and art degree #participated in college sports #and also shortly worked at a shipyard #not once has anyone said my life is boring when I have to do the rundown of why I'm currently doing anything #even explaining where I'm from takes at least a few minutes due to how often I've moved #meanwhile all the stupid example essays I've seen are just #I've wanted to be a doctor ever since I could remember #how does that make them a better applicant than me #they should just let everyone in and let them fail out like nature intended

ok i am so bravely putting on my jogging clothes and venturing out into the world to run! i am so brave and so strong! it is chilly but sunny out so i think i will feel happier being in the light!!

#also once i do this i can do my laundry and finish packing #so that will alleviate another slight stressor #i did a ton of prep/research just now for job interview too so i feel a bit calmer about that as well #i feel like i'm a really good fit for this job and it's comforting to be interviewing for something where i feel like #umm if not an expert at least a highly experienced and competent person #i just feel like i barely have to do any work to make my skills/experiences translate directly to this role #in contrast with prepping for job interviews last time where it was all Career Transition stuff and i felt out of my depth #like they should give me this job. i'd be really good at it. and i'd have fun doing it

I finally managed to finish Doom of Caras Gelebren and it was very good, but I'm laughing because you can pick out the exact moment where Amarthiel was consigned to long-distance soap opera duty for life. Like, this was probably her first assignment as a champion of Sauron and she got her ass handed to her on a plate. No wonder he gave her partner assignments in a Very Far Away Location from about TA 1300 through present day. Every weird, sort of inexplicable behavior from her can now easily be explained by the fact that two minutes into serving Sauron she told him she could beat Celebrimbor in a fight and promptly got knocked on her ass in ten seconds flat and she's still trying to get him to take her seriously again.

#lotro #'what did amarthiel want with amdir?' yeah i figured it out #shes trying to prove she can make wraiths and stuff really shes good at this kind of thing look hes fully a wraith now #come on i did good right? thats how you do it right? i made a wraith just like the witch king. mordiriths never made a wraith. #at least not an interesting one. mordirith couldnt do this come on get me out of this bum fuck angmar assignment #what do you mean some rando and a couple of rangers took out my wraith about ten seconds after we finally got him properly under control #in all seriousness it was a good skirm no notes its just #once again for newer players i think this is going to kind of mess up the reveal of who amarthiel is later #it doesnt have her actual name in it but its clear that celebrimbor knew her and i think it hints at the fact that she used to live there #which are like. the interesting points of who she is #again not currently a concern because i highly doubt any new players are going to be doing this skirm #probably it will be a very long time before anyone who hasnt at least finished volume 1 will have this expansion #so i guess as long as the skirm is bundled with the expansion #which i believe it is #but its something theyll have to do something about when it turns into one of those things they bundle for free in november in a few years

I saw a post the other day that kinda pushed back on the way all coming of age movies are about sexuality and all high school stories basically center around who wants to fuck who and how that's like. Not really all coming of age and high school stories should offer since you know. Youth isn't about who you have a crush on and probably coming of age stories in particular should be far more diverse in subject matter than they are.

Honestly as someone who, when I was 'coming of age' age, hated coming of age stories and still do for the exact reason listed above (see the weird scene in It where we all sexualize a 13 year old girl because boys have crushes and surely there's no other way to portray this than feeling a child up with a camera to demonstrate boys have ~feelings~ Bev gets no equivalent scene because she's the object of affection rather than the subject feeling desire) I also wish there was diversity in those stories. And coming of age stories about adults- we don't stop going through huge life moments that change everything forever, but back to kids. When I was a kid I could have desperately used a coming of age story where the character has a sick and dying parent who does die by the end of the story and what happens after that. Granted I did just fine without it, but even without being asexual it's always irked me that coming of age stories don't seem to appreciate that kids have way larger problems and way better stories to tell then first crushes and first kisses for shit sake give kids who went through what I did as a kid some kind of story about what happens when your parent gets cancer and how complicated that is and stop assuming the biggest thing that happens around puberty is discovering sexuality that, if you were queer, you probably already noticed what you felt wasn't in a coming of age story anyway.

#winters ramblings #id actually LOVE to see a coming of age story about an immigrant child moving to a new country #and have the coming of age center around THAT instead of these bizarre vaguely adult explorations of sexuality #that honestly ive never related to anyway like maybe the allos get it but even THEY deserve more diversity in stories #SURELY even your local allos have a dad dying of cancer they desperately need to know what to do with #like deadass a therapist told me at 26 i was robbed as a child because of what i went through and i STILL cry when i think of that #but no coming of age is all sex shit because children according to adults dont have real issues #which tells me adukts writing the stories are MASSIVELY privileged or stunted by execs or straight up assune kids wont watch #a REAL coming of age story. also i want a coming of age story about a 40 year old who is going through a career change #and the struggles that come with late career change. the benefits of a late career change. all the complicated family goo around all this #just give me decent stories that arent too focused on fycking RELATIONSHIPS for once. have them there sure i dont care #but for FUCK sakes can we stop pretending a 13 year olds biggest concern us who they have a crush on?? #my dad was DEAD and i knew only one other person who lost her mom way younger than me at 8 #we did not understand each other and how could we when our situations were so different. BOTH of us were so highly alienated #because NO ONE not even each other could relate to a lot if the people around us. the only thing we DID have in common #was the sick feeling we got when someone would bitch about their parents having fair expectations or not giving them literally everything #we both had an 'at least you HAVE parents to hokd you to reasonable standards and all you do is SQUANDER it' even if our feelings werent #faur to our peers anymore than their feelings were fair to us. wheres the coming of age story about THAT #tell me a story about a 16 year old whos mom has been dead HALF her life already like my friend. i was lucky enough not to deal with that #until i was 24. she deserved better out if high school and coming of age stories too. believe it or not kids have REAL lives and problems #and im SO tired of no one writing anything but some sad kids books about it even if the books are SOMETHING to start with #like for shit sakes must NICEthat the worst thing YOU went through was realizing you had a sexuality but my queer ass #ALWAYS knew i was different and highschool highlighted that a BUNCH so unless we're exploring aroace teens that doesnt appeal either #great yet ANOTHER story about straight teenagers because THEYRE the ones who need guidance on how to express themselves #like they dont see strsight people storoes and sexuality EVERYWHERE plus the ACTUAL opportunity to date in high school #that most queer kids dont get or dont get in the same way. why is THAT the only story being told when its the most saturated and BORING #and also ignores that kids have REAL issues and NO angency. explore THAT. do ANYTHING but yet another fucking coming of age story #about straight kids having crushes on each other and thats IT like come on SERIOUSLY

wow. embarassing as hell to be THAT triggered by such a clumsy mess of an episode

#this flashback was brought to you by bad and nearly incoherent storytelling #im not going to tag this but mk knows what it did #that was like a chimp pounding away at a typewriter but somehow every key is a highly specific trigger of mine #anyway real interested to see what theyre gonna do with one episode left. #always nice to be soundly and completely rid of a hyperfixation #in one fell swoop. if youre going to make me lose my mind for like two hours. at least be clever about it #literally you can tell they were in the writers room like ‘man yk what would b cool? having marc in a mental hospital. whoa trippy! haha’ #and then no one could make it make any sense so they just shoehorned in a ridiculous explanation. #also like. can we discuss how stupid the marcsteven shit is. if your character has did. make him HAVE DID. ‘i made you up’? what? #so bad. marvel wont get me again. an i’ll swear on that #once again. stream doom patrol aka the only good superhero media

[skylordhorus]

its such a bizarre feeling when ur suddenly necessitated to acknowledge a thought process that a. u didnt even notice was there because its so natural to u and b. that other ppl dont think like that

#*deep space noises* #its why i had (and continue to trip up on) such confusion around colourblindness in regards to race #what i thought was ~nuanced colour blindness~ turned out to largely be a fundamental misunderstanding of the term #and much more akin to the theory of racelessness #(ie. that race isnt real but racism is due to its invention #and that the goal is acknowledging difference but seeing it as a neutral and something to be celebrated #but still being aware and proactive abt dismantling racism being experienced now #(khadija mbowe has a fab insightful video on it that i would highly recommend)) #ANYWAY i just encountered this just now trying to understand the difference between colour-blind and colour conscious casting #and i think the reason im getting confused is that stuff that seemed so obvious and natural to me would not come up in colour blind casting #ie. be aware that actors of colour get hired way less #and acknowledging your casting choices and why you may be hiring white actors for leads more #or putting actors of colour in villainous or subservient roles a lot #and speaking with actors abt if theyd like to bring anything to the table in the performance #apparently there are ppl that dont? do that?? #its always a strange feeling #like not everyone worries abt dying at least once a day. or does not like to think in nuance #wild

I wonder just how much time I spend thinking about if I'm autistic or have adhd 🙃😔

#cuz i feel like a have a moment where i do at LEAST once a day #abnormal #i think about it too much #it popped up in my mind clearly a couple years ago and now i can't stop thinking about ittttttt #maybe highly preferring to play alone when i was a kid was normal. maybe not making eye contact until ppl gave me shit about it was normal. #maybe writing 'this year i will pay attention to class and not look around a lot' in grade 5 was normal. #maybe getting up from the table at dinnertime so often my parents tied me to my chair with jumprope was normal. #maybe relating to almost everything talking about adhd/autism symptoms is normal #maybe its just fucking normal and im wasting brain space thinking so much about it!! maybe its normal to feel like an alien who knoe #who care #personable

[yumenosakiacademy]

it always sucks, seeing urself jus get worse n worse n more worthless n more worthless over time. knowing tht u peaked as a kid n u'll never b like u were back then again. never b able 2 b tht happy, never b able 2 b tht smart, never b able 2 do the things u did then, never able 2 look tht decent again... all u can do is watch urself rot in the shadow of something u once were, whether it b tht what u once were wasnt even gr8 2 begin w but it was Something at least or tht u used 2 b smth amazing n gifted n sweet. ur a wasted potential. ur a failure.

#... [buries face in hands] i wanna apologize 2 my past self but we knew how this would go. i think in my heart i always knew. #even back b4 i was fully a mess i didnt think highly of myself. we always knew we meant nothing. it jus sucks 2 lose anything n everything #tht at least made me likeable or worth anything. i never can focus on anything. i dont make things anymore. no1 needs anything i can offer- #n rly what Can i offer anymore? i edit but it takes me a while. n i can never muster myself 2 do as much as i once did. i dont write much #anymore bc it takes a lot of mental willpower 2 make decision nw rite correct words... i cant even b slightly-pretty (not tht i was b4. ive #always been fairly Meh n unnoticeable) bc ive gained weight from all the bingeeating i do like a fucking pig. i hav nothing 2 me anymore. #delete later
