random fourthgem gifs ♡ ↳ episode 1: playful nonsense and fond exasperation :')

#geminifourth #fourth nattawat #gemini norawit #userdramas #asiandramasource #fourthgem #fourth #gemini #gifs #m:g #misc. #instagram #*rfg #idk if i can properly articulate why i adore this short clip of them so much... it's just like #the classic rock paper love thing. the way gem somehow didn't seem to see this coming. how pleased fourth is with himself. #and then just the fact that they didn't need to film this. it wasn't like they were put in front of a camera and they had to film something #fourth got out his phone and specifically chose to record this nonsense for his little ig vlog. it's just so precious to me 🤧💓

Sometimes I find myself thinking about Din Djarin a little too much that I get concerned and think that I really should go to therapy...

Well, I'm finally doing that (again) tomorrow... :)

Feeling pretty nervous about it but hoping that because I now know I'm autistic it will help me understand/explain things a little better! Hopefully this is the start of a journey to finally become a healthier, happier version of myself :)

#the waiting list was surprisingly short so i'm excited i just hope that they understand neurodivergency #because cbt doesn't work for my brain and i hope they don't try and force a square peg in a round hole so to speak #i want emdr eventually but i have to go through several stages first it seems and it sucks i wish i could afford private therapy #but i also just wish the nhs just fucking functioned lol #anyway that was a lot of acronyms but there we go #having ptsd sucks that's part of why i love din a lot because i can weirdly relate to him. also mando came into my life when i needed it #and as corny as it sounds knowing i can make some silly little gifs and write about the tin can helps regulate me after a draining events #so knowing i can do that whatever happens tomorrow is nice :) oR TODAY it's past midnight here what is a sleeping pattern #anyway once again i just really love din djarin but now no one can tell me to gO TO THERAPY ANYMORE BC OF IT ALSSNJSSK #personal #text post #just autism things

can we talk about the meep’s pronouns moment in the star beast again? i want to talk about the way it’s set up. in any other show, this would have been a joke. it would have been, “oh, look at this trans person getting so up in arms about the doctor assuming this alien’s pronouns. isn’t that an insane thing to care about?” and then that would be where it ended, the entire point being that asking for pronouns is ridiculous, that a trans person pointing it out is ridiculous, and we should be laughing at Rose for bringing it up.

but. it’s not. Rose says, “You’re assuming he as a pronoun?” in a tone of voice that, to me, at least, reads as someone who has been in this situation many, many times before and been laughed at for caring. who has been the butt of that joke. who starts this dialogue off from a defensive position because every time before she’s ever asked in earnest, she’s been shut down.

and then the Doctor says, “True. Yes. Sorry. Good point. Are you he or she or they?” The Doctor acknowledges Rose’s point, apologizes for glossing over it, and makes an effort to ask. Hell, the moment is even used to set up the Doctor connecting to the Meep more like he will when the Meep mentions having two hearts; they both share “the” as a pronoun as a pronoun.

(and I’m reading through the transcript right now to check, but as far as I can tell, yeah. The Doctor does then use “The Meep” to refer to the Meep for the rest of the episode, not any other pronoun.)

It’s a very brief moment, but it feels intentionally made to invoke those jokes, to take them and say, ‘no, why would this be a joke, we’ll take it seriously.’ Expectations subverted brilliantly. The Doctor says trans rights.

#it’s a good moment! this episode is not perfect by any means. esp the bit at the end where we go from ‘well the doctor is male and female #neither and more.’ to ‘a male-presenting doctor would Not get this :/‘ like. okay. #but i think there’s a genuine effort here that’s lovely and earnest. a fumble or two is acceptable in an attempt to do good you know? #but yeah this moment is a very good short little moment and i love it and i love rose noble #i love how quickly the doctor turns to her and takes her seriously. i love that her question is immediately validated. i love her. #also i dont know when else ill get to talk about this but i love that ‘the’ is canonically one of the doctor’s pronouns. #ive seen some people say ‘well why do they put that line in and people keep calling the doctor ‘he’?’ and i think like. because he uses more #than just the one? i really dont think the doctor would just sit down and shut up if she was really upset about being misgendered. have u #seen her. 90% of her character is talking. he would make it known immediately. #it just seemed clear to me that this was the doctor acknowledging that they use more than the usual set. and that’s why im petition for #xe/xem doctor in the next season- #(or…. or it/its doctor……….. ouguh 🥺) #anyway point is that the doctor has many a pronoun and one of them is just ‘the doctor’. #doctor who #rose noble #fourteenth doctor #the doctor

oh and here's a sketch i like but wont explain 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

#didnt feel like drawing his boots so he gets to have the hooves out JHFJGH #would honestly redo my entire design to not have boots but i have figuring out the ends of the pants #solution: shorts 👍 #would be a little funny tbh... #awa #i posted his face last night btw if you're wondering why it might seem familiar #didnt wanna share the whole thing bc that would require explaining #but then i realized i can just post no context and leave it at that :P

All the art and fics of Deltarune where Kris and Susie are like fuckin soulbonded together are wonderful and my favorite but I think they're a lot funnier when you think about the fact that they've been friends for less than 24 hours

#i am a krusie believer platonic or otherwise but these two have only known each other for a short time #if noelle's description of susie as 'the new girl' is anything to go by #and about a day before chapter 2's beginning kris's sole experience with susie was her bullying them #it does make me go 'ough' a little though. susie very nearly asking kris if they'll still be friends if it turns out they cant go back to #the dark world. #god i cant wait to learn more about susie and her background i'm so curious was kris said to her in new girl #because i do feel like they've met before. maybe when they were little and susie moved away or something #i'm partial to the theory that susie grew up in an all-human town and she freaks monsters out and talks about 'we all have blood' #cuz she doesnt really know how to interact with monsters. and maybe she's from hometown and had to move back cuz her family #i imagine susie's family as being Not the best so maybe toriel tried to help her before she moved away #and that's why susie seems to hold toriel in such high esteem and emphasizes kris having a good mom #okay these tags got away from me but ough. susie

[Start ID. A drawing of two scavengers from Rain World, one labelled Sanic and the other one Shrek. Sanic's fur is light brown, with darker extremities, a messy row of pale green spines down its back, and bright blue eyes. They sit contentedly, staring at the screen, with a couple grenades by its feet. Shrek has pale fur, a green head, hands, and feet, and brown eyes. It's facing to the right, with their arms splayed out and an explosive spear on their back. Beside each scavenger are a few woefully-compressed screencaps of their in-game appearance. End ID]

An ode to these silly beasts, who accompanied me on my second visits to Industrial and Chimney

#peridots-art #rain world #scavenger rain world #...usually only draw set characters of games and not. creatures. so that's new for me #absolutely love specbioing these guys though!! buggifying them scratches the right itch in my brain especially when they could reasonably #be buggy in canon!! #bugs #clarification on the ''shrek is maybe two guys'' thing ahead. first we'll argue for One Guy #1. both found in the same region at the same time 2. remarkably similar coloring and mannerisms (seemed to be the pack leader) #and now evidence supporting the two different guys theory: #1. travelled with a different pack of scavengers the second time vs when i found it 2. second time had slightly duller colors and noticably #longer horns (without the little gradient at the end) #so now you see why i didn't notice anything wrong until after reviewing the screenshots. BUT!!! secret third option!!! #the first one with the short horns was found first when i was using the entrance-to-industrial shelter #and the one i mostly relied on for reference was near the higher shelter. shrek numero dos. the canon shrek. #but i have a screenshot of shrek 1 in the place shrek 2 was found. hanging out with one of shrek 2's pack members no less. #conclusion: ??? #ok now that that's ''settled''. don't let this all distract you from the fact that the simple act of SWITCHING TO THE SHADING LAYER #got me out of a four-month-long mental rut. i can't say that it was depression nor that i know anything about depression in the first place #but even if it wasn't very serious? it Sucked. even if it was just a nagging thought at the back of my mind my life was duller somehow #i started to feel a little unmotivated. lonely. anxious. like the days blend together. the things i liked weren't bringing as much joy #and all of that got worse recently. the main reason i haven't posted any art for like a month? art stopped being fun. #which is a TERRIBLE thing for someone like me who loves to draw so so much. so when everything that's been building up over the past months #just vanished completely? without warning? you better believe i teared up over a doodle of a scavenger for making me feel right again. #i'm overjoyed to be free of it. i'm hopeful again! i love myself again! i can fall in love with the world all over again!!! #i have no idea how this happened. but i have motivation and determination and i feel like i can change my life for the better now. if i try #maybe this was my normal but it's the striking opposite of what I've been feeling--i'm finally proud of my accomplishments! and of myself!! #which was something i couldn't say in earnest even before december. #and reader? i call you tag-wanderer for i have no way of knowing who you are. maybe a treasured mutual or maybe a stranger. but i love you. #and i hope you make your way out.

I've never seen a cough transcribed in this way, but I suppose it works??

#personal #something i will now think about when coughing #this is from the cask of amontillado by poe btw #i want to organise a little halloween contest at work where i quiz people on three scary short stories #and i'm looking for stories that are not too gruesome while still being a bit spooky #i also need them to be in the public domain/legally and easily accessible for free online #the two stories i decided on so far are the lottery by jackson and oh whistle and i'll come by m. r. james #(side note i really enjoyed the james story but i don't get why it's on so many best scary stories lists - it has a lot of goofy parts #and i can't get over the audacity of starting a story with a piece of dialogue followed by 'said a person not in the story') #(the whole thing feels so tongue in cheek/horror comedy-esque to me that the genuine fear it seems to elicit in people confuses me) #(side note side note i suddenly can't stop reading m. r. [em ar] james as mister james 😞)

watching cooking crush again and i noticed there's a guy in the background just strolling around campus in an animal onesie???

sadly, by the time onesie dude passes prem, dynamite's moved closer and is in the way, so you can't see him anymore

so this potato quality screencap of a blurry dude is the best i have but i freaking NEED some backstory

#cooking crush the series #like LOOK there's a little tail and everything! #also WHAT IS IT like dragon or dinosaur is my best guess #but who knows! #and there's people with him who DON'T seem to be in costume so why the FUCK my dude #the absolute commitment to the bit of wearing this fucking thing to campus #when everyone else is in fucking short sleeves #unhinged behavior #maybe he's the same flavor of neurodivergent as ten #and his dad was like well i bet you can't wear that thing all day #if anyone's spotted him in any other scenes or has better screenshots please tag me PLEEEEEEEASE

It's not easy to be a guy with a weird gender and complicated relationships with its sexuality and romantic attraction and fat and autistic and traumatized to the bone but someone has to do it

#luly talks #i tried to rb a post but i hit post limit and i lost it LMAO but i find it interesting how my things overlap #bc as some of you might know i grew up as a fat little girl and you know the world fucking hates us #and on top of that autistic although i had the most neurodivergent ppl along w me #i still wasn't like my other friends tho i always was slightly more lonely slightly more disconnected #they were in on things i didn't seem to be in the social spectrum and i never understood that #and one of those things was indeed romance and dating and in my teen years sex too #like by default i was seen as undesirable. just by virtue of being fat and also kinda androgynous #and the autism just. kept me far away from any social circle or interaction that'd bring me closer to an encounter of any kind #and i always yearned lord knows i still dream of Ana but the thing is i... #i just. love romance in paper #i love the idea of romance. i love the yearning i love the feeling #i know the feeling bc i know euphoria! i know the euphoria that comes from love. #but to me that's a very short lived feeling specially when engaging directly with it #i think its part of a matter of being taught what romantic attraction is and how they paint it #it's similar to how you are taught X and Y is hot even before you understand why #like i remember my mother always joking w me about male mannequins' cocks and like sure i played along #bc i thought it was funny and if the adult i seeked approval from did it then i absolutely should too #but she also scolded me once (and btw i was like 15) bc idk i was acting. like a perv? #and it's so bizarre in retrospective bc it might have been before the age of 15 bc i really didn't care about such matters then #I've always been amaizing at masking i love understanding people and why they do what they do and replicating them #so me being positive to sex and romance is to be expected #but at the same time its weird bc i cannot bring myself to hating it but i also just. dont fucking feel it #but at least w sex comes the horror of having a body too like there's a lot man #but my point is that its funny how despite being seen as undesirable for society i was unaffected bc i was oblivious to it

And last of the new characters: Kivuntuoja!

Kivuntuoja, or Kipu for short, is an undead spirit previously working under Grenth, but since he left, Kipu decided to leave to experience the joys of life after so long. He likes to mingle with mortals and has a hobby of dressing a bit risque, though the reaper hood stays on at all times.

Now about the name, it's Finnish for pain bringer/bringer of pain. Pain in Finnish is Kipu, hence the nickname, but we don't have words like of/in/at and instead add letters to the ends of the words to imply the same things. For of we add an n to the end.

Now, Kipun sounds awkward so we change the letter p to a v so it sounds better, I guess? That's just something we do, change a letter to make it sound better, Idk I don't know why the language is like this, honestly.

#gw2 #guild wars 2 #guildwars2 #kivuntuoja #and a little lesson in finnish #we can also just combine two words together to make new words #which is what i did #now idk if it would be more accurate to have the words separately like the english pain bringer #i really don't know when you're supposed to have words be together or separate #but i put them together so it would be more of a name #this facet of the finnish language is also why i tend to write several english words together #i've done this with words like eachother aswell atleast #and.. ingame? it seems to show it as incorrect hmm #i feel more tempted to do it with words where the other word is short aha..

I put on attack of the clones last night for background noise but I ended up actually just watching probably 80% of it and the funniest shit in the world possibly the best moment in the entire prequel trilogy is when they first get to Naboo and check in with the queen + council and they're just talking abt the republic and keeping her safe whatever the fuck and then one of them finally acknowledges Anakin like "Master Jedi what do you suggest?" and Padmé INSTANTLY says "Oh Anakin isn't a JEDI he's just a padawan learner. So basically I was thinking--" and Anakin. Reasonably. Is like "Hold on a second" and she cuts him off AGAIN like "EXCUSE ME. Anyway, I was thinking..." and makes him fight for his life to actually get w word out. Literally WHY does she do that to him its so fucking funny.

#The first and only movie in which she actually has a personality 😭 #But actually some of my favorite Padmé moments are when she kind of snaps at him or puts him down or just #seems kind of annoyed or exhausted with him not to conspiracy theorized but I am so in love with the idea that she never actually #likes him all that much. Like. Fundamentally she likes that he is in love with HER and the doors that that opens in terms #of playing the little game that their relationship is. But I feel like his actual personality she could take or leave at best #largely due to him being Actually insane #And perpetually immature I guess. Which is why I actually kind of enjoy their weird age gap #My philosophy these days is like. If it makes very little sense on any level that she would love him back especially after #such a short time its because she doesn't. She just decided to add that reciprocation to her rotating mask collection because #playing Barbie's Dream House with him is the first time she has ever felt like an actual living human woman with a tangible Self #END POST #sw

evil gun batman future timmy - one of them anyway - had an official grown up height and i forget what it was exactly but it was like. 5'7ish. and i think that was just from tim eyeballing it so imo that means he was that tall WITH his evil gun batman height enhancing lifts. he has little guy syndrome syndrome of being a little guy

#hes just a little shrinkydink #dick cut him out of the material and put him in the toaster himself #just a little guy just a little birthday boy you wouldnt psychologically torture a little guy on his birthday hes just a little birthday bo #dc #btw in a survey from... i want to say 2003? of *non-self reported* heights. the avg usamerican adult mans height was i believe 5'8 #i just think you should know this. i think more people should know just how much men lie about their heights #up until guys hit six foot at least they just add like 2 inches to their height #unless theyre so short they know they cant get away with it #but yeah if youve ever wondered why a woman who is five foot eight seems so much taller than a 5'8 dude its bc the dude is actually barely+ #scraping 5'7

another tough day on the road

#em draws stuff #frontier wolf #slightly belated summer of sutcliff #first pass at an alexios in my usual style in preparation for a some other drawing #in other news I am so proud of how the wolf fur turned out but I Never Want To Do That Again #in the next few months you will likely see me eat those words because I do plan on more frontier wolf art #still workshopping my alexios design as this isn't quite perfect #in my head alexios is just Keith But Short but visually I should Not Do That #unfortunately this one is also one of the ones that shows up differently on the computer than in its original state #turning up your screen brightness seems to help a little with that if you want to see it as it ought to be seen! #alas I don't think his outfit is very good either but I do have the excuse of having drawn this mid-lecture #c'mon em the cool book of clothing explanations is of no use if you do not actually Look At It while you draw.. #ah well! the fish cannot be trained. #FINAL POINT and that is that no matter how bad I did it I cannot have done it worse than whoever did the book cover of the copy I have #why do I keep ending up so deeply enamored with books so very prone to the most unhinged cover art

What is this English translation?

She says: 「長得這麼可愛就要對自己的可愛扶著哦~! 啊, 我的意思是,別把自己弄傷弄壞了！」

It's pretty much along of the lines of, "If you look this cute, you need to be responsible for that cuteness of yours. Ah, what I mean is you need to take care of yourself and not get hurt"

#kittybee games #kittybee talks game linguistics #genshin sigewinne #gi sigewinne #I fail to see how henry4 is relevant here #it’s a phrase meant for a position of authority afaik? it’s seems a little over the top and makes sigewinne comes across as too childish #also this just in: I love hearing sigewinne talk #its like if you took a voice and made it fluffy and huggable #I’m here expecting reasonable translations and then I get hit with that lol #finally catching up on quests bc i need to research things (also I want the recipes in the cafeteria) #I need to knock out for the night but boi I’m ready to see more possible translation shenanigans #every single person who uses the short female model gets messed up in translation and it kills me inside #why EN translators gotta make it weird #nahida/klee/diona/et al OTL #sigewinne is literally the only character I’ve met so far that has it together and she’s bandaiding everyone in melusine stickers and meds

[theflyingfeeling]

me in the Olli/Allu delelu land trying to explain how Olli acting weird and Aleksi suddenly smoking and them secretly glancing at each other must be all connected somehow

because they ARE!! 😭 we may be yet to connect the dots, but we're getting there okay, we're not crazy 😤

(don't forget the sunglasses!! I haven't figured out how but I just know they're somehow relevant in all this as well 😤 he just seems weirdly attached to them (and the bandana around his neck which he's been wearing in literally every picture we've seen of him for almost two weeks now?? not counting the pictures taken in the pool) like, did he pay and arm an a leg for them (I'm not sure if he's worn that exact pair before? I may be wrong though lol I often am with stuff like this) and justified the purchase to himself by swearing he'd wear them every chance he gets for the rest of the year lol

#the rest goes in the tags because okay fine i MAY be just a little bit crazy sdgjsdjgsgdsg but hear me out alright #let's say aleksi used to smoke but quit because it's unhealthy #now why do people usually relapse with smoking? #for fun ig but he's said many times he's trying to be healthier. dude won't drink pepsi with caffeine in it but cigarettes are fine? 🙄 #sure the reasons are individual but at least in my mother's case it was often when she felt stressed out about random shit #so perhaps aleksi took up smoking again because something's stressing him out / making him anxious / worrying him #it could be the tour but it's not like they haven't been on tour in the US before so why would he be particularly stressed out about that? #could be something work-related but unrelated to the band. a project he had to put on hold because of the tour? #because from what i've understood the HU supporting gig happened on quite a short notice #tbh that alone could very legitimately be a cause of stress on its own. not enough time to prepare? not enough time to spend with the fam? #(perhaps if you weren't streaming every other evening...🙄) #or maybe he's just jetlagged and nicotine is his remedy of choice? #ooooooorrr it could be something related to his personal life. hard to say what though. a sudden change? general anxiety? #he doesn't /seem/ particularly anxious though but the hell would i know #so... aleksi taking up bad habits + olli's weird behaviour + secret glances and maybe low-key avoiding each other = ??? #my theory is still that they hooked up and are now forced to deal with the consequences 😶 #''how are they avoiding each other exactly?'' one might ask and worry not! i am prepared for counterarguments! ☝️ #to put it briefly: the delulu in me says so 😌 #(this applies to everything i wrote above 😂 i'm writing this just for my and y'all's entertainment you know) #ollixallu #answered asks #sparfloxacin

‘Stuff’ he says! Yeah stuff like overpowered game icons and a deranged lunatic with deadly tunnel vision!!

"SHUT UP!"

Purple tried to raise his voice above what the anon said, but he couldn't drown it out. He looked back at King, whose eyes were shiny, before King dropped his head to keep Purple from seeing his expression.

"I'm sorry, Baba, I just... making you feel bad about it wouldn't really have made anything any better. You already apologized, I already accepted the apology, it's just water under the bridge now."

King took a deep breath and let it out in a quavering sigh, "...You don't have to apologize. I would have done the same in your shoes."

"And hey, Anon, you don't get to talk about Baba like that! Maybe he was like that once, but that's not who he is now!"

#Anonymous #purple answers #king answers #askbox takeover: baba's house #I actually plan to write about King discovering Purple's scar in a chapter of Kingdrabbles #so that's why this answer might seem a little short #I will cover this topic in more detail some other day #maybe even tomorrow
