#i wish it was a figure of speech

[barghest-land]

it's been more than 2 years. let's not pretend that my routine now isn't completely fucked i normally don't draw or share something that personal, but now it's a way to cope. somehow. plus, i think, it should be normal to talk about

#i say this a lot but i'm tired #it's just getting worse and nothing helps at this point tbh so i'm trying everything to keep myself alive #i wish it was a figure of speech #barghestland #art #artists on tumblr #things here are just about the end of this winter. but it's more than that. there's just no way i could draw it all.

Don't mind me, just Yuu and Malleus having some heart to heart chat before the whole situation of book 7. (it totally didnt take me forever to get here what do you mean aha)

Jokes on you, cuz what even is figurative language when it comes to Malleus Draconia

#twst #twisted wonderland #art #twst malleus #malleus not knowing what a figure of speech is #this is not what people mean by wishing things could stay the same forever #but i totally understand how you feel #twst chapter 7

actually natori has some kind of tracking talisman on matoba at all times. that's how he knew where to abduct matoba from for Operation: Kitty Cat City. matoba fully knows about it; it's why he wasn't at all surprised to find a paper doll in natsume's hair after the mask youkai debacle (matoba internally as he watched it fly away: classic mother hen shuuichi-san momence 🥰). because this is matoba "boundaries? what are those? can you eat them?" seiji we're talking about, he's not bothered by this "violation" of his "privacy"; rather, he finds it fittingly clingy (it is, after all, only right that natori should be keeping tabs on him obsessively). sometimes the talisman gets confused and sticks to yesterday's outfit, so he always checks to make sure he has it on the way out the door (his pocket patdown is "keys, lighter, wallet, exorcism supplies, shuuichi-san's cute lil tracker he thinks i don't know about <3"). i wouldn't be surprised if he's figured out how to uno reverse it and now uses it to track natori's location as well. this may not technically be canon but it is probably all 100% true in an important way that transcends canon, we just never hear about it because it isn't relevant to natsume's journey 😌

#matoba: a natori talisman. sure wish i had one of those 😇 #<-knows that he has one on him at that very moment and also that natori doesn't know that he knows #convince me that he didn't say this on purpose to make natori sweat. you can't! #in response to him saying that natori side-eyes him and has a dot dot dot speech bubble (my favorite vol. 26 ellipsis btw) #which is exactly how he would react if he had secretly planted a talisman on matoba #and was trying to figure out if matoba knew and was alluding to it!! #check and mate. game set match. QED. i rest my case. #i've connected the dots i've connected them but also i feel like it wasn't that hard. the truth is out there you just have to believe #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #horrible exorcists #matoba seiji #f #homura cats arc #my posts #btw i do not think the head of the matoba clan actually does anything so base as to carry keys on his person #he has people for that. he has a driver. he has servants who open the door when they see him coming. what possible need could he have #for such an object #he also may not need to carry a wallet (or equivalent) for similar reasons #but it was the best shorthand i could think of to make what i meant by 'pocket patdown' readily apparent #especially since 'cell phone' isn't an option either since this is set in the 80s #i figure he must have some kind of lighter or firestarter bc he uses smoke to find the source of the locked-room curse #he also seems to carry a brush & ink and various & sundry tools of the trade that i decided to call 'exorcism supplies' #matoba-san drop the 'what's in my purse' youtube video 👀

Actually thinking about the immigrant narrative in Jaime's Blue Beetle because... This is a 2nd gen immigrant with alien tech fused to his spine......... In an America where his parents (and probably himself) get slurs thrown at them for being "illegal aliens"…......... There's some kind of metaphor there

#and i wish canon (comics) did more with that #because while the movie (in Uncle Rudy's speech about paper trails deportation) and the 2006 comic (in the border patrol arc) #acknowledged the Reyes' immigrant roots #the alien tech didn't really play a part in those stories thematically? #probably because the writers figured it's a minefield #since the Reach *are* actually warmongering aliens #so it's not a flattering parallel #but I'm thinking of Khaji Da specifically #which is separate of the Reach as a sentient entity. Khaji isn't evil....... it's just an 'alien' being trying to do good in America #just some food for thought #Jaime Reyes #dc txt

Something I forgot to mention until now is a little detail after you retire Jake early, because it prompts Roger to be like "hey why tf did you do that man" and you can just be a turbo cunt and say it was bc you couldn't stand his broken voice box and Roger just moves on but considering he has a natural stutter and not one caused by a mechanical failure knowing that that was the reason the last guy you knew got put down must be anywhere from uncomfortable to outright nerve-wracking for real.

#luly talks #dsaf #i was trying to figure out what i was up to on march 18th but couldn't #but i did see the screenshots and reminded me i never said this #i do wish anything else would've been Done w that voice box thing bc like Jake doesn't really have any speech quirks aside from that #his dialogue could at least glitch a little or convey it is hard to understand audibly but nah #like i do love it bc it's pretty easy on my ears compared to the normal voice but like STILL #i am insane enough to manage to think of this tho 👍 #Jake wilson #roger Jones

I soooo wish I still had a copy so I could show you guys the best thing I've ever read in my life but I'll never for as long as I live forget the first sentence "There are many oppressed minorities in America: Blacks, Mexicans, Asians, Emos, Goths, Gays, and most of all, Juggalos."

#it was technically not an essay it was actually a 10 minute oratory speech for speech and debate i just read the written version #i wish id gotten to hear him deliver it aidbakdhsjd but i was like Jake. you CANNOT say this #he was like awww whhyyyy and my friends and i through tears explained all of the problems w this sentence alone #first of all our debate teacher wouldve eviscerated him ahrkaibdkahdkdbd #that dude was so fucking weird. for a while he was like trying to make alcohol in his house #and i was helping him do all the math to figure out how much he needed to charge people at school for it #i told my mother and she was like please stop doing that and i was like no?? lmao. he said he'd give me a cut

my one piece hobonichi planner comes with a quote every day and every day i do a little translation. january 1st (ace's birthday) is ace asking the straw hat crew to look after 'his troublesome little brother'... january 22nd (merry's birthday) is merry saying farewell. so now i've begun two new years muttering to myself "i've only just woken up, why are they doing this to me..." the ability of the hobonichi corporation to inflict distress upon the unassuming diarist cannot be underestimated.

#and january 2's quote was little ace asking garp if it'd be better if he'd never been born -_- #i'm just trying to plan my day. can you please not. out of this entire goofyass manga WHY are they choosing the saddest moments #hostile feelings towards my (truly very lovely) planner aside #the figures of speech in japanese are so much more interesting and literary/flowery! i wish the official english translations tried #to translate the proverbs/metaphors/whatnot directly. #one piece #ノート

Hiiro seems to be a good hearted kid, but something about his interactions with Rinne give him yandere potential imo. He will literally drop everything just to help his brother and even wanted to "destroy idols" to bring him back all because he was told to serve and follow him. What if he fell for someone? God bless if someone harmed their love interest and they just haphazardly said something about them dying. Hiiro would probably do it and then tell their love about it with no sense of guilt (or maybe I'm underestimating their sense of justice. Idk he just gives me "puppy happily showing you the squirrel they killed" vibes).

#'umu you dont have to worry about them anymore i took care of everything!' #'they were bothering you right? i made your wish come true and killed them. it's ok i made sure it was quick' #'oh i misunderstood? a figure of speech? haha well at least you're safe! I'll do and be anything for you!' #headcanon #ensemble stars #hiiro amagi #yandere #i know this isn't my usual hc but something about hiiro worries me

when he told me where id be tomorrow he said that he put me there bc he thinks im rlly strong 🏌🏽‍♂️🏌🏽‍♂️

and then when i asked him if id be cleaning the frappe machine (bc its been mainly managers or higher up people cleaning the important stuff) he said yeah you always leave it sparkling so i trust you to clean it well

maybe he was exaggerating but still it made me perk up lol so idc

#sometimes i feel like a dog when i get compliments from authority figures #like wow this validation is great i dont know how to respond most of the time but its still great #i wish i could have the expressions that animal crossing characters have #or if i could have a little speech bubble with a star whenever i get compliments #des rambles

#man i don’t want to make fun of them in a petty way or anything because they don’t deserve that #or at least i’m above it #so this is more about my feelings #but some people told me about a speech they made at kol nidre about how they’re trying to be less controlling #and it filled me with so much anger because #wish you would have figured that out 2 years ago #:/ #the way they will say things that recognize their actions and then not fix them #…

I miss you

#V mourning #this song made me think of you #it doesn't hurt as much now #but I wish you were here #I want to hug you again #you could help drink all the monster energy drinks in the fridge #you should have been here 3 days ago #you should have been here #you'd have complained about all the speeches #but you would have yelled the loudest in celebration #I miss you so fucking much #seems like some of the tears I'd run out of have returned #I'm glad #our birthday's soon. only 18 days away now #I still haven't figured out what my plan is #I'm kind of glad I'm not going to be home for it #scratch that. I'm very glad I won't be home for it #mum still struggles not to cry whenever you're brought up #dad's taken more of an interest in the things that I do. I wish it was for better reasons #we're only a few months away from a year of you being gone #that doesn't feel right. both of us should be turning 19. #I miss you

as i learn more about aac + the people who use it im starting to feel incredibly complicated about my one active dnd character being autistic + mute + those two things being completely unrelated (at least in terms of origin obviously theyve become very much related over the years). like. i dunno. i love ida and i love playing ida and if i was coming up with ida today she would be virtually unrecognizable because holy shit i did not think this character through when i was coming up with her

#quetzposting #a lot of my issues with the way i wrote ida basically stem from the fact that i came up with her when i was like. what. 15? #and ive been able to iron things out a LOT over the past four years #but i still feel a little weird about playing a character whose autism is like. definitely a disability. and trying to figure out how that- #-works with and impacts her acquired disability because while i do still sometimes lose speech i really dont have the like. lived experience #that would make me fully comfortable playing her the way i would probably write her if she wasnt. yk. a dnd character. #i guess what it comes down to is like. all of my best characters have had a part of me in them. usually that part comes with a little autism #or bipolar or aromanticism or dysphoria or compulsive behavior or superstition or whatever the fuck else #and while im trying to figure out my own disability (and coming to terms with the way my autism impacts it + often makes it worse) #im having to look at ida and try to separate out the parts of me that became her and the parts of her that became me #and her disability is… not really either one of those #even though it did come from me because at the time i pretty much had a selective mutism thing goin on #and it did come from her because playing her has helped me understand my own disability #even though its so different from hers #its just really weird to think about. and i do wish id played her a bit differently from the beginning #its extra weird because i straight up dont remember huge chunks of the campaign lmao #thanks for that dissociative disorder. really appreciate it (sarcasm)
