You CAN set an alarm on your phone to remind you that your hot drink will have cooled down enough to enjoy by now.

I *just realized* I could do this, and it's not weird. Don't live any more of your life NOT doing this! Winter is upon us! You have less time than you think! (coffee emoji, tea cup emoji, tea pot emoji)]

Haha

#yanqing #honkai star rail #hsr yanqing #my immediate fixation on ice wielding child genius characters in every media I consume strikes again #idk I just think he’s neat!! and so is his gender #he’s definitely overdesigned but I do enjoy the general shape of his clothes #like wow… baggy outer layer AND baggy inner layer #how come you get to have two baggy layers #still don’t know that much about him even after reading his character stories on the wiki #so I’m hoping that his quest writes him well #I suppose there’s some degree of like interesting contrast in the fact that he’s very young on a ship full of people who live very long live #but I feel like regardless they really don’t give him much of a personality besides his hyperfixation on swords and the general naivety and #inexperience from youth yknow what I mean #I just think it would be cool to see like why he’s so ambitious! was he railroaded into being a knight because of his talents? did he try #to be accepted as a knight? what kinds of expectations is he facing and what expectations does he place on himself as a result #I really hope he isn’t just there to be a simpler minded child character for jingyuan to take care of

Happy day 3 of DirkJake week.

what if i told you that there was a guy.

and the guy has awful trauma regarding something done to him without his consent when he was very young that irreparably altered him. he feels like he’s intrinsically wrong and dirty his whole life even without knowing this, then he finds out and it totally destroys him. even his father thought he was evil, and that his brother would have to either save him or kill him. the guy really doesn’t want to be evil, he just wants to help people and to be good, so he tries so hard.

and it works! he has psychic powers that everyone thinks are freakish, but he’s sure he can use them to help people. he does! reclaiming the thing done to him when he was young, even though it still feels wrong and evil, he gains more power, and it looks like he’s the only one who’ll actually have enough strength to stop the apocalypse. he can even exorcise demons without hurting the host. so, though it gets a little dark along the way, he gets to the demon he has to defeat to stop the apocalypse. he’s done everything right, he’s tried so hard, he wants to be good so badly. he defeats her-

& it starts the apocalypse. role reversal, board flips. there was a different game being played the whole time, one rigged from the beginning. in trying so hard to save the world, he ended it.

anyway. there is a guy. and his name? SAM WINCHESTER.

#and i’m sorry but i kind of think that’s genius. #sam is narratively punished for aspiring to break out of his role. he can’t be good at this point even when he tries. he’s manipulated and #the story and the world warps around him to make sure he isn’t good. to make sure he starts the apocalypse #while still truly believing the whole way he was doing the right thing. and he WOULDVE been. if not for something he had no way of knowing. #if people hadn’t been lying and manipulating him the whole way. #sam winchester #oliver talks #spn #supernatural #s4 #spn s4

ok another headcanon and is from my ultimate comfort favs:

When demo got first hired by pauling he was like very shy and introverted at some point where everyone wasn’t like… that conjoined and besties as how they are now. And i feel like he got a pretty rough time to even start to talk with his teammates or get a tiny friendship with them.

And he often times was very threatened by small lady in glasses that liked to be strict with them in their first day since… it was business only ofc

but by the time when pauling got a bit more soft with them, and got also a bit friendly with demo i feel like at some point he started to develop a tiny crush with her since she was the one who often talks more with, and i have this other hc that also he would fell easily with people that befriends him (not like anyone of course it really does depends the person for him)

so you know pauling it’s nerdy and a bit sensitive (she cries very easily) and she is very friendly or a bit more extrovert if she gets to, but like in a sense where she is more ambivert too. uhhh idk she is just talkative with people if you get her chance where she’s not busy and will tell you to go to hell. rough lady

and he liked that! i think he thought they both shared some stuffs along and can infodump their love for guns and for the work they are in and then if they can go a bit personal with some drinks and he liked that he could share this stuffs with her all chill and cool

but i feel like he just had this side secret crush with her and stopped those want to be romantic feelings because he really saw she is not like, up to those stuffs, she is so focused on work and also stressed and depressed like him and he could just understand that she just only want someone to listen to her but she will not like, pay that much attention about romantic relationships and he could completely understand that once he get to know her more deeply. and he just couldn’t do that to the one who also considered a friend and he probably guessed she will not feel the same for him but that didn’t like hurt him and is not like he ever confessed to her. he just had those secret feelings for her for a time and then realized she was not really like the one for him to be in a relationship

and that’s where i thought of him now having a more soft spot for her and caring her like a sister (not like literally but in a familiar soft spot sense, but that’s ofc his friend)

so yeah idk 👍

#i don’t shipp them but just a character development thought ig idk i’m just stupid aha #i just care for them enough to invade my brain ok? ok. ok #i had one also with short fuse (demoengi) #where demo in his first days at work where nobody talks to each other and stuffs #and you know he is a very genius guy in also building his little stuffs his sticky bombs thing whatever the fuck you call those shits #and that called engie attention and he just got a bit closer to know about demo you know like #when you see a kid with pokémon cards and you like that and you go and talk to them about pokémon the entire recess? yeah like that #and that’s where demo started to develop a crush on engie because he talked to him about something they like for big long hours and yknow #engie might be a bit reserved in some personal stuffs but he can get friendly with anyone just bc he is a polite man good raised man #so that kindness in being so interested to talk to him just made demo FIUMP! get a bullet love in his little demo heart #i love building characters interactions sometimes ha #wrote all of this in class

any other autistic ppl feel like their monotone voice and blatant honesty makes ppl assume they are an archetype of an asd coded character rather than a full ass human being or is it just me

#actually autistic #autism #girl autism #asd #medium support needs #like. i’m rlly empathetic and kind actually :( #why do ppl always assume i’m a character trope hello #why is it unexpected that i’m religious or want to be a mom or passionate and loving like ok. #sometimes i feel like ppl find out im autistic and then don’t see anything else other than their stereotypes #it’s either cutesy toddler autistic or evil genius autistic #those are the two genders #and i am the second

I guess it does make you wonder if he had any sort of resentment towards Malenia too, albeit under the surface, like he HAD to prove he was better than her, the better half-sibling, better than the empyrean child whom he thought was loved more by Radagon than him, after all his father did leave his family.

HUGE fan of this take… in my head the Carian siblings probably had some weird hangups about the twins. First Radagon leaves their family, completely devastating their mother, and marries Marika, who attempted to invade Liurnia in the first place, and has two children with her. I just don’t see this situation as anything but extremely awkward and strange for the Carians. Given the fact that all 3 of them seem to oppose Radagon and his faction during the Shattering, I don’t think they ever really forgave him for leaving them, and this grudge likely generated some weird feelings seeing their father dote on his new children who aren’t them.

For Radahn and Rykard especially, I think there’s evidence that they both admired their father in a way (both of their armies wear red plumes to symbolize Radagon’s hair and emphasize their pedigree as his sons). It’s likely that while they were angry with him, they also still looked up to him and wanted his attention… but now he has new children, both empyreans, one of whom he mentors personally (he doesn’t seem to have done this with his older children). That has to hurt! I can definitely see Radahn viewing Malenia as sort of a boss he had to defeat to prove that his father was wrong to leave him behind and replace him.

#elden ring #radahn #radagon #malenia #asks #i’ve also talked about this in a post before but i really think rykard would’ve felt replaced by miquella specifically #radagon created new incantation spells with miquella and miquella is excellent at designing mechanisms #and rykard seems to also have been very adept at innovating spells and mechanisms #therefore in rykard’s brain dad replaced him with a different blond genius son LOL #it actually kind of lines up perfectly like radahn mirroring malenia and rykard mirroring miquella #anyway yeah i’m sorry but i lean towards the idea that the carians and the twins really weren’t close 😭 #i think the carians have a ton of personal issues that would get in the way of bonding with their half-siblings

Bitches be having an unhealthy obsession with tragic and codependent and toxic sibling relationships in media and then be surprised when they latch onto Tigris Snow like a lifeline

(It’s me. I’m bitches)

#yes I know she’s coryo’s cousin and not his sister but you know what? I don’t care #it’s close enough + I’m sure they saw each other as siblings anyway #but I’m serious she’s probably my favourite character in tbosas #she’s so kind and caring but also takes no shit #and she loved coryo so much… only for him to turn out like his father #her appearance in mockingjay hits so different after the ballad #suzanne collins is a genius #(​the way that was already a tag lmao) #anyway enough rambling #tigris snow #my beloved <3 #I lowkey want to draw her

why is everyone acting like carlos giving lando DRS was some revolutionary and genius tactic previously never seen on this earth… don’t drivers play DRS games all the time??

#and I think I saw someone saying this is pretty common in other classes #like ……. #am i missing something #is this a product of being newer to the sport #it just seemed…kind of obvious……. #I’m pretty sure my commentator was even speculating about having to do something like that before he did it ? #from an objective pov pls I feel like I’m going crazy every time I see ‘GENIUS!!!’ #…..idk what to tag this tbh #it is in fact a genuine question #so you know. carlos fans. May be helpful #but it is probably a less than pro Carlos tone ahdjsjsjxb #fuck it we ball #carlos sainz #f1 #er #singapore gp 2023 #*delphi

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but can we talk about my genius for a second here (I’m so humble, I know /sar). I wish I could say I did, but I actually didn’t plan to reincorporate the opening scene/nightmare of my Everlark fic into the 4th chapter to close out the final book. It just happened. And I cannot explain the cackling and evil laughter I did as I realized how brilliant of a parallel it was.

And yet NO ONE IN MY AO3 COMMENTS MENTIONED IT. NOT A SINGLE PERSON. Do you even understand how POWERFUL I felt writing this? I felt insane. I felt like I had transported myself to a completely different plane of fic writing by pure coincidence and accident. I felt magical, for a brief moment. Beyond genius. Like I achieved the impossible. Like I won a lottery, but if it was on accidentally not planning the best literary parallel you possibly could. Am I crazy? Yes. Yes I am. But at least I’m a useful crazy. I think. I hope.

Lately I’ve gotten into doing puzzles but my brain has a caveat where I have to listen to audiobook memoirs while I do them

I just finished the one I was listening to, soooo I am asking you to send audiobook memoir recs to my inbox please

#I’ve been scrolling on goodreads for about 20 minutes #and all the ones I want to read either don’t have audiobooks on Libby #or I’ve already read them #type of memoir doesn’t matter to me #i will listen to almost anything #or even if you know a memoir that you liked in general please throw it my way #I’ll need a bunch because these are big puzzles and I’m not a puzzle genius #nonfiction of any kind also works

Hot take: I LOVE Fate Pseudoservants because they consistently use paralleling themes to draw connections between known franchise staples and mythological characters, therefore exploring the themes of both the mythological figure and the character in question. Ultimately, this shows how these myths are applicable to people in the modern day, and can resonate with humans hundreds, if not thousands of years later.

Further hot take: belittling artists and writers for wanting to further explore the characterization of their OCs is really gross, ultimately reducing creatives to content machines who soullessly pump out storylines for the masses without being allowed to explore their own individual passions or love for their own creations. Like, why is ‘oh, they just want to do stuff with their original characters’ so wrong? Like, newsflash, all Fate characters are essentially the writer’s mythology-based OCs. There is nothing wrong with that??? People who write and draw are, y’know, PEOPLE. It’s not corporate shilling to like drawing your blorbos. Please be normal about authors and artists having personal interests, as long as they’re not, like, offensive or something.

Nuclear hot take: Getting mad about characters from previous Fate properties getting added into FGO is super annoying. If you’re a FGO fan PLEASE either admit you don’t particularly like the Fate universe/it’s characters and just want to play a gacha game, or go engage with some of the entries that are not gacha related, I beg of you. There’s so much analysis to do about characterization of Pseudos, if you actually read and care about the shit those characters are in.

It can not be your thing and you can simultaneously not be weird about it — and yes, derogatorily calling it fanservice IS being weird about it.

#salt #fgo #Pseudoservants #it’s totally fair if it’s not your favorite literary device in the world but it IS a literary device #it is thought out #it has purpose and intent #you can dislike the end product without treating creators super fucking weirdly #like parvati is not my jam but it’s nothing to do with her being a pseudo and everything to do with the approach #and obviously in the case of gods there is room for valid criticism of portrayal #but if you think that kind of thing is totally off limits why are you here #like no form of mythological retelling should be appropriate to you then #— YES THIS IS ABOUT RASPUTIN WHAT OF IT #I’ve been explaining to people why Rasputin is a genius pick for kirei for 2 years now and I’m NOT going to stop
