#i'm just being SALTY

[quin-cries]

Man I wish that people gave a shit about my work. Yes I know that there's still people who care, friends, loved ones, etc... But seeing people obsessed with other people's work, characters, and so on and then seeing the interaction (or lack there of) with what I make is... Not nice.

#I'm just being salty #I know creating for the sake of it is important doing what you love for who you love Yada Yada #But can a bitch have people be interested in their ocs too pls

If some other magicless person got stuck in Twisted Wonderland and tried to take my place, I'd simply let them. Yeah, bitch, now you take care of these motherfuckers and deal with Crowley's bullshit, see if I fuckin care. Have fun babysitting a bunch of sunovabitches who barely even remember you exist half the time.

I love the angst of "they pushed the Prefect away and replaced them only to miss them when they finally leave", but, also, if I were Yuu, I'd absolutely just let it happen. Call me a pushover, but I ain't shedding a tear for friends who left for the newest shiny thing. And it would relieve me from all the trouble. Guess who's not fighting Overblots anymore? This bastard, that's who.

#twisted wonderland #I'm not salty however yes I am #I'd not fight for people willing to replace me just like that #«but you'd be lonely» being accompanied by fake assholes is 10x lonelier #though that gives me an idea #how fun would it be if NRC started trying to replace Yuu and instead of going to RSA‚ Yuu goes to FUCKIN ROLLO #just knocks on NBC and «heeeeey» and Rollo is foaming at the mouth because «they kicked out a MAGICLESS PERSON??» #Rollo: You called me a monster when I lighted that fire‚ but can you call yourselves *men* after abandoning the Prefect #Bells of Notre Dame but instead it's Yuu running to NBC and Rollo taking her in #wait that also means I could make the others get obsessed with bringing Yuu back #so they'd have Hellfire. meanwhile‚ Rollo has a repentance arc through his relationship with Yuu‚ Heaven's Light #...

The nice thing about reaching adulthood as a trans person is that there are plenty of instances where, before as a kid, your transness mattered, but now it doesn't necessarily

When I was in high school, I was required to take a P.E. class to graduate, and I was always yelled at for being late and bringing my backpack to class with me because I couldn't change in locker rooms like the other guys. I changed in a faculty restroom and brought my bag with me, my tardiness be damned. It gave me an unhealthy view of fitness because I despised how othered I felt, and I couldn't articulate why I didn't feel safe necessarily. I felt like transness would always be what others saw before they saw me, and I hated that feeling. I don't like being seen as The Trans Person, I just like being seen as me, where being trans is part of me but not the whole.

However, as an adult, I can join a gym and they don't fucking care. I get to retrain how to have a healthy relationship with fitness on my own terms because now, I have the freedom to be left the fuck alone about my transness. I love weightlifting, I love feeling physically fit, and high school was not the place for me as a trans person.

If any young trans person is feeling how I felt about their transness being front-and-center, just, please hold out hope. I know shit's scary, especially for you young people, and I do not blame you for how you feel. Just know that there can be good out there.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #it's been difficult to learn how to like fitness on my own terms but i'm learning #i've been going to the gym just so i can lift again and it feels good #i feel like i've been sleeping on testosterone and muscle gain these past three years. trying not to be salty about it though lmaoo #i think it would be funny to get jacked even though my work does *not* require it #i *do* feel like i lucked out with how accepting my school was don't get me wrong #i feel lucky i wasn't teased or bullied or interrogated by students or faculty. it's just that i had other things on top of that too #i was shocked that despite being in a *very* red town my high school was very chill

Do you want to hear a funny story?

So you know that I was drawing spiderverse comics lately. Because they are fun to do. And I think people like them. I mean the most popular one has like 4K notes? That's lot for me when I usually dwell in tiny fandoms made out of like 3 people and their dog. So it's nice, everybody is having fun and I'm grateful.

but

BUT

I just found out that somebody took few of that comics. Cut them up and run the text through ai reading voice and posted it as reels on fucking youtube.

And it's not even that I'm stumped why even turn 4 pictures into video. First time I see such a time wasting thing but ok. People do like different things.

And even lke some effort was done to erase text from speech bubbles so it appears as the ai spews it aloud but it's not even about it

I had pictures taken and posted somewhere else. Usually without credit. At least this time it was credited? I guess I should be grateful.

What fucking gets me is that those comics have several hundred thousand views and few hundred comments each.

Like fucking seriously.

I don't know what's the point

I don;t know what should I feel about this

I mean unless you can make money on youtube reels? Then I can at least be pissed about it. Nice clean feeling?

Because what gets me is that most of those comments are nice so I should be happy about it? I guess? But I feel like a pathetic peeping tom looking for appreciation that wasn't given to me actually eve if I did the thing

ugh

I'm just tired

this day was already shitty so i guess it's time to give up and take a nap

next comic will be delayed

#to be deleted #rant #text post #sorry i just need to like scream into the void a little #i guess i should just let it go #and be gratefull for the attention im already getting #so many awesome artists that get less #no point in being greedy #and nobody here likes when artists whine for attention #because we should create the content #i fucking hate that word #for like idea #guess what i'm happy creating things because i like creating them #ill just stop sharing #like i recently gave up on insta because i;m done trying to please the algorithm so it may let me interact with people #i like the old fashioned idea from fans for fans #got i got salty #i'm sorry #hopefully nap will fix it #i just need to let it go i guess

I legit found this on accident but here's my take;

I do agree with Meatly in the sense that, yes, if you are introducing a bunch of new characters you have to develop them, and you can't do that while giving attention to your already existing cast.

The problem is...the new guys aren't developed. At all. How are you meant to develop a character over the course of one audio log in some cases? Bendy and the Ink Machine had the advantage of being released chapter by chapter, hence why we had time to speculate and draw gay fanart of the characters between releases. The fandom was able to form a connection to these characters in this way, and most had recurring audio logs, with the exception to this rule mainly being Lacie.

Compare this with the laundry list of characters in BATDR with singular audio logs; Lance, Angus, Archie, Hank, Bill, Grace, Kay, Dale, Jane, and Phil. (Correct me if I'm wrong, there are a lot.)

Single note characters include; Eugene, Hudson, and Telly. (Again, correct me if I'm wrong.)

I don't think I'm hurting many feelings by saying that nobody knows who the new human cast is, and that they are the most unnecessary part of BATDR story-wise. This is the exact inverse of BATIM, where we got invested because of the human cast amidst the cartoons.

Sure, Wally's presence was still in BATDR, and Grace even mentioned Norman by name. But the majority of veteran Bendy fans were hoping to see more of the old cast that we were already in love with. The new human characters rolled off incoming Bendy fans like hot sand, which kind of proves that they aren't needed unless they're fleshed out properly in future installments.

#annnd guess what? the books being de-canonized shoots them in the foot again! #Archie Carter HAD more characterization...which would have helped the new cast immensely... #maybe I'm just salty but Dark Revival is such a mixed bag and I don't want the existing problems to get worse #batdr #bendy and the dark revival #batim #bendy and the ink machine #themeatly #archer writes

Yes, I'll take any aspec character (I'm desperate) but we need more aspec characters who are NOT the nerdy smart ones that know a shit ton because they don't waste their time on romance.

I need a batshit feral aspec character who will gnaw on the bones of their enemies

Or an aspec character who's a complete and utter himbo. Just image a himbo aspec (peak comedy potential here)

An aspec who is flirty as hell, but when someone flirts back they freak out (this wasn't supposed to happen!?)

Aspec only is smart at one specific thing but nothing else

Aspec characters who are just living their best lives

Evil aspec characters but not because they are aspec, they just happen to also be aspec while being evil

Good aspec characters but they are not good because they are aspec, they just happen to be aspec while being good

Morally grey aspec characters, but they are not morally because they are aspec, they just happen to be aspec while being morally grey

Aspec characters whose identities are not erased in order to be shipped with someone else (that'd be nice yknow)

#aspec #aromantic #asexual #aroace #taag talks #I'm being slightly salty today but I also do just want more aspec characters #I need a himbo aspec in my life I think it would improve a lot of things

[queerofthedagger]

i think it's incredibly funny that sometimes people follow me on here who like, not only don't ship merthur but clearly have one hang-up or another about it cause it's like. that's entirely fair and with the size of the ship i even see how it might be annoying if you're not into it and all, and this is a multifandom/multiship blog and you're more than welcome here as long as you're not being a bitch etc etc etc yada yada. but also. you are aware that WELL over half of all 120 fics on my ao3 are.. you know... merthur right like? insert <we ship merthur here sir> meme

#bbcm #merthur #again i'm not being salty about it but also sometimes people Say Things in my tags and i just gotta laugh cause like #fair! but also. are you sure you know where you are ma'am (affectionate) #mona rambles #*mine #(this isn't about anyone specific btw it happens occasionally)

My personal feelings on people headcanoning the Hollow Knight world as small is that it always feels uncomfortably like looking at a world where there are no humans and immediately deciding we'd have to be overpowered supergiants that are being worshipped more than the actual gods.

I've seen it paired with takes that PK or even Radiance would be helpless before a god, when Radiance in particular is, you know, a god of dreams shown to be able to affect or press on just about anything with a mind to the point that other deities were scared of her, and even if she was the size of a soccer ball she'd pose a significant threat to an ordinary person.

Ruka's point about the nails being obviously in-name-only, that the scavenged weapons are scavenged from the corpses of larger creatures and not from any evidence of a bigger creature civilization also grates on me because not only is it literally a plot point in strengthening your weapon that the nailsmith works raw ore, nail weaponry is obviously a sophisticated technology with cultural and practical variations in how they're made... but it feels lavishly patronizing to look at a character like the Nailsmith who is very explicitly being driven by a single-minded obsession to make the perfect weapon, and insist he has to just be stealing thumbtacks from humanity, that he can't possibly compete with.

Like I'm in neither the position nor the desire to run around other people's blogs screaming at them until they Forsake Their Ideas, people think what they will think, but I think it's important to ask questions of, why do we believe what we believe? The idea that the HK bugs are tiny seems to come inextricably paired with the notion they are subordinate to humans, which there's no existence of humanity in HK. We don't even see evidence of mammals. Some bugs mostly resemble earth wildlife, but others? The God Tamer's beast was a lobster in its original concepts.

#Hollow Knight #maybe I'm just salty because of one youtube theorist that decided the cool way to open an HK video #was to do a bit of him spraying raid on the main characters to kill them instantly #because har har remember bugs are an infestation to a world that belongs to humans right #what do you mean Hornet's a demigod and Ghost is a weird undead fantasy being #we won't engage with fantasy unless it affirms us as the most powerful being ever apparently??

It would be bad if I say this in "public", but man, sometimes, even though I do draw for a living and for some people it may look like I'm living the dream, in reality it can be really tiresome to draw for corporations. It's a good way to really understand the business mindsets, but we also know how to unintentionally kill passions slowly, so it's like a double edged sword.

No wonder why most adults are kinda depressed or jaded lol, in the end jobs are jobs, when we know too much there's no turning back.

#I'm just being salty bc having unexpected meetings kinda ruined my original plan for a 1 day camping trip #and in that camping trip I planned to continue drawing personal projects too #random thoughts #tumblr thoughts #tumblr is meant to be my personal art archive but I'm beginning to talk about thoughts and feelings in here lol whoops sorry

This isn't really new, but it's actually really interesting to me what a sticking point the 'enemy of the cultivation world' line is for people who have a less favorable interpretation of Jiang Cheng's character.

When I first read the novel, it honestly just seemed obvious to me that it was part of The Plan with their staged falling out/defection from the Yunmeng Jiang clan. Whether it was a good or likely to succeed long-term plan or not is up for debate, but considering that we know the entire duel and 'falling out' was staged, I thought it was a given that was just part of it.

So I was actually pretty surprised to see so many people adamant that even if the duel was staged, that statement was a specific lie/betrayal on Jiang Cheng's part. Because of the duel/defection situation being generally light on description in the novel, there's not enough detail to say conclusively and definitely either way.

The first time we hear about the 'enemy of the cultivation world' declaration is actually in the prologue, where some dude is telling the "citation needed" summary version of the Yiling Patriarch's life story (7S version):

"[...] The former Jiang sect leader raised him like his own son, eh? But look at him: publicly defecting from the clan, making himself an enemy of the world. He’s embarrassed the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng utterly and almost doomed them to the same fate of extermination. [...]"

Of course it's not until the end of ch. 73 that we really know the circumstances of this defection. Where the duel is described the style of narration shifts noticeably to that very detached, third-party narration, the tone shift that indicates throughout the novel that this is the story the public believes.

The ExR translation phrases it this way:

They fought quite a fight in Yiling. Negotiations failed. Both resorted to violence.

Under Wei WuXian's command, the fierce corpse Wen Ning struck Jiang Cheng once, breaking one of his arms. Jiang Cheng stabbed Wei WuXian once. Both sides suffered losses. Each spat out a mouthful of blood and left cursing the other. They had finally fallen out with each other.

After the fight, Jiang Cheng told the outside that Wei WuXian defected from the sect and was an enemy to the entire cultivation world. The YunmengJiang Sect had already cast him out. From then on, no ties remained between them—a clear line was drawn. Henceforth, no matter what he did, they'd have nothing to do with the YunmengJiang Sect!

The official translation from 7S makes it even clearer that this is the 'what the public is meant to believe' type of thing by formatting it this way (including the italics):

Following the duel, Jiang Cheng made this public statement: "Wei Wuxian has defected from our clan and become a public enemy. The Jiang Clan of Yunmeng expelled him and has broken all ties with him, drawing a clear line between his deeds and our own. No matter what this man does going forward, his actions have nothing to do with the Jiang Clan of Yunmeng!"

Whether it's a verbatim quote or not doesn't particularly matter for my interpretation (I don't particularly doubt the statement itself happened), but I would be interested in how it's presented originally; unfortunately I can't read it, so as always there's the 'going off translations' caveat here.

Immediately in the next chapter we see the aftermath of the duel and Wei Wuxian's nonchalant attitude to it, and then later in ch. 75, when Jiang Cheng brings Jiang Yanli to visit Yiling and show off her wedding robes and she reveals he suggested she have Wei Wuxian pick her son's courtesy name.

That's where we really realize just how staged it was (bolding mine):

Jiang Cheng raised up his bowl, "To the YiLing Patriarch."

Hearing this, Wei WuXian remembered the proudly fluttering banner again. All that was in his head was the ten golden words ''all hail the supreme Lord of Evil Patriarch of YiLing', "Shut up!"

After he drank a mouthful, Jiang Cheng spoke, "How's your wound from last time?"

Wei WuXian, "It healed a long time ago."

Jiang Cheng, "Mn." With a pause, he continued, "How many days?"

Wei WuXian, "Less than seven. I told you before. With Wen Qing, it was nothing difficult. But you really did fucking stab me."

Jiang Cheng ate a piece of lotus root, "You were the one who smashed my arm first. You took seven days, while I had to hang my arm up for an entire month."

Wei WuXian grinned, "How could it seem realistic if it wasn't hard enough? It was your left hand anyways. It didn't hinder you from writing. It takes a hundred days to heal a wound to the bone. It wouldn't be too much even if you hung it up for three months."

[...]

Before they parted, Jiang Cheng spoke, "We won't see you off. It wouldn't be good if someone saw us."

Wei WuXian nodded. He understood that it wasn't easy for the Jiang siblings to have come out here. If someone else saw them, all those things they did for the public to believe would be wasted. He spoke, "We'll go first."

We don't actually know, exactly, to the letter, what the plan was. Everything after Wei Wuxian says they could cut ties to protect the Jiang sect and Jiang Cheng saying they should have a duel is very light on the actual details.

Even with that wiggle room, I just don't buy the interpretation that the 'enemy of the cultivation world'/'public enemy' line was some extra betrayal behind Wei Wuxian's back, totally unknown to him, some sort of sneaky move meant to simply make everyone hate him even more for no reason.

They were clearly concerned with the possibility that nobody would truly believe that they'd actually fallen out, and felt they needed to go to fairly extreme lengths to sell this story to the public. While there were definitely some hurt feelings (on both sides) at this point, there was definitely still some hope that things would work out in the end, somehow.

I think this part of the novel works better with them both clinging to a thread of tenuous hope, a desperate last-ditch effort to somehow figure out a way to keep both the Yunmeng Jiang sect and the Wens safe because neither one of them can back down but neither can really let go yet.

If anything I'd say it would be a bit weird to take the public statement made after an event we know is staged to deceive the public... and assuming that for some reason, that specific line of it should just be taken at face value.

As with many aspects of the novel, the public story and what actually happened are just not the same thing.

SIGH like at the end of the day, there is nothing a live action ATLA show could bring that we didn't get in the animation. Other than appealing to the most annoying parts of fandom who want to deprioritize Aang.

#atla #like FINE individual frames in the trailer don't look terrible #but like #I didn't need a team of CGI artists working overtime to recreate how amazing omashu looks in the animation #WHO WANTS THIS #also the entire cast being adults except for aang......... #tell me ur gonna deprioritize aang without telling me ur gonna depriortize aang #zutara is absolutely going to play a bigger role in the show I'm SURE OF IT #maybe even zukka #kataang is going to be treated like a 5 year old having a crush on their teacher #idk man it's honestly just DEPRESSING #the sokka actor how light katara is the ages of everybody the bending itself #it's all just #not good #the trailer is honestly very zuko centric too #which #SIGH #MULTIPLE SCENES OF ZUKO GETTING HIS SCAR IN THE TRAILER?????? #might as well just rename the show to be zuko: the last zuko bender #anyway I will remain salty forever #nothing will sway me #I hate it #the only good thing is that hopefully the most annoying stans will move on to the live action that is going to canonize all their bullshit #and leave those of us that actually enjoy the original alone
