fake ep idea + doodles

#i was thinking abt how funny it would be if there was a shiftythrifting blog equivalent in lmk. and half the stuff on there is #submitted by wukong. so i thought a yard sale ep would be funny lol #basically the hoard becomes problem one way or another and wukong figures the best way to get rid of his junk is thru ebay #somehow ends up selling world ending artifacts to random megapolis citizens so mk mei and redson have to scramble to find em #purposely meant to mirror the weekly shenanigans s1-2 style eps that are really goofy (dumpling ep noodles ep etc) #but it gets darker and darker because MK is not fucking ok after that whole thing with the scroll and some unchecked identity crisis #for me id want him to kind of. freak tf out because they have to find MULTIPLE chaos inducing items that could end the world while trying t #be sillygoofy and funny about it. so hes trying to mask his panic with “ohhh guys its just like the good ol days ^_^ remember that ^_^” #ESPECIALLY after that whole thing with the ink scroll. also mei doesnt buy any of it and is worried for him the whole time #as for the B plot it could be monkey king also trying to be very relaxed abt selling 4000 years worth of stuff and tang getting all huffy #like “these are priceless artifacts that could help us learn so much about the past!! wtf man!!!” #and maybe it reveals smth like wukong not wanting to hold on anymore bc his past weighs him down. and theyre all reminders #i think azure mentioned that wukong is sentimental (idk if that was genuine or lying to mk) so that could be touched on to #so basically. the theme would be some sort of conversation abt nostalgia. i think. im not a writer so its very fuzzy in my head #if anyone wants to add on or include their own spin on it feel free. also included undercut redson as a treat somewhere in there #myart #lego monkie kid #monkie kid #lmk red son #lmk mei #lmk MK #lmk xiaotian #lmk xiaojiao #lmk sun wukong #lmk swk #doodles #lmk tang #lmk pigsy #lmk traffic light trio #yard sale ep

Hobie, looking at old photos: who’s this lady?

Miles: oh that’s my mom when she was like in her early 20’s, she was really into goth stuff… i think she got arrested right after this photo though bc of a protest

Hobie:

Miles: stop giving me that look i’m never letting you near her.

#miles: stop giggling and twirling your hair it’s weird / hobie who wants to meet this woman so badly bc he admires her so much: 🥺🥺 #not in a crush way lol but genuine admiration and to hear that she used to be goth and ALSO go to protests when she was younger??? #he’s going to kill miles and take his place . well no im being dramatic but he would say that #i think hobie and rio’s meetings can be something so personal. woman who doesn’t have the time or energy most days to do the things she+ #used to be into / still likes & the younger person who wishes they were born at the same time so they could be friends. aguh #i’m thinking rio was like. romantic goth #well she dressed like it but she listened to all types of goth music #but yknow. family pressures + dreams of being a nurse and worried they wouldn’t hire her or take her seriously #miles morales #spiderman #spider man #hobie brown #spider punk #spiderpunk #m&m posts

telling myself i can't start another tdwt rewrite but dear god do i want to write one focusing on alejandro and courtney in this weird situationship thats a lot more nuanced than just alejandro manipulating courtney and her falling for it. like theyre best friends they dont trust each other theyre the same person they dont know anything about the other one theres a mutual attraction theyre pining for other people theyre codependent they dont care about each other theyre platonic soulmates like i just want to do a deep dive into how messy that relationship couldve been building off of their friendship that exists in my head except the line between romantic and platonic is so fucking blurred they have no idea what they are to the other person

#they live rent free in my head as you can tell #ive been writing some intense moments for them in amicus curiae and im having a lot of Feelings about platonic alecourtney #tbh the whole concept of them replacing the best friends has been a great avenue for me to do a deep dive into their friendship #aughhhh i just. love them so much #and i do want to explore them in a situation where there is relationship potential even if that relationship never actually happens #because everything between them during tdwt could be so MESSY!! #like alejandro says he's just manipulating courtney but he's also doing it to make heather jealous but he's also genuinely worried about he #after the duncan thing but this is the only way he knows how to express that concern without making himself look weak #meanwhile courtney is falling for the act but she also knows its an act and is going with it for the emotional support it provides and shes #just doing it to make duncan/gwen jealous but she also is starting to see the real alejandro underneath it all because he does care even #though he doesn't want to and they do feel a strong connection that they dont know whether its platonic or romantic because romance is bein #shoved down their throats on this show and theyre both in complicated romantic dynamics with other people that theyre the easier option for #one another but they dont really want to be with one another like it just doesnt feel right #okay okay i legit have to stop and go to bed but just. them. im thinking so hard about them #platonic alecourtney

As someone who enjoys religion blogging/discussions, I've come to realize that it's a good practice to be aware of the general signs/symptoms of religious-OCD thinking (aka scrupulosity), because if the conversation is taking on all the hallmarks of scrupulosity, it's actually a definitive sign that we cannot meaningfully and compassionately engage in a conversation about religion in a healthy way. I've actually had this play out a significant number of times online, and when I realized what it was, I also began to realize that the intrusive thoughts/obsessive and compulsive thinking are only ever fed by continuing the discussion with that person.

[[ Important edit to clarify why I am saying it's not healthy — made after I went back to look for more concrete facts about OCD or anxiety (I have GAD, not OCD, but many resources overlap since they're both anxiety disorders):

When Reassurance is Harmful — this explains how/why reassurance-seeking specifically about an OCD fear is a compulsive behavior, and engaging with reassurance-seeking interferes with recovery/management/treatment.

This table from the Anxiety Disorders Center lists key differences between Information Seeking and Reassurance Seeking.

This IOCDF page on Scrupulosity info for Faith Leaders identifies "symptom accommodation" as enabling. Two of the examples of doing this by participating in the OCD behavior are: "Engage in excessive conversation focused on if-then scenarios (e.g., "If I did this, then would X or Y happen? And what if Z was involved? How about W?")" And, "Repeatedly answering questions about ‘correct’ religious or faith practices."

That page also goes on to outline more info about reassurance seeking. "Although providing answers to (often simple!) questions may seem harmless, providing reassurance serves to maintain the anxiety disorder cycle." (This BMC psychiatry article cites a lot of related studies establishing this.)

The IOCDF page on What is OCD and Scrupulosity? ]]

Imo, the responsible thing to do is to recognize that (even if the other person hasn't outright stated it/isn't diagnosed)* the conversation is not about religion, it is about needing mental health support from professionals and experts. Talking to me, the layperson who enjoys chatting theology and my religion — is not only not helping, but is actively harmful. I'm not just talking about the person who I replied to today, either. Like I've said, I've seen this happen dozens of times in various online forums.

*[while I am against diagnosing strangers on the internet, it's important to realize A) lots of people don't know what Scrupulosity is, so it's possible they've never considered this is a mental health concern that could be treated, and that B) for the purposes of my concern, it doesn't matter if they actually have diagnosed OCD. The only thing that matters is that their thought-process causes them genuine distress/fear, and every response given to them seems to only incite new/additional distressing questions/thoughts, or further entrenches the original distress.]

Ultimately, any discussion aside from "you might want to speak to a mental health professional about scrupulosity OCD" seemingly puts me in the position of feeling as if I am being used for their self-harm. I hate that feeling. I do not want to be leverage for fear and pain. I have GAD, I despise the idea that I am making things worse.

No matter how much I love religious discussion, the answer in these cases is always "please reach out to an OCD specialist/mental health professional. I am not qualified to discuss this." And then to stop there. I have never once seen anyone stuck in this compulsive thought spiral be reassured or feel any better by hearing from someone else's approach to theology handled with things like empathy, compassion, logic, or even atheism. It doesn't matter what we say, how we say it, or how we relate to our own religion. The urge to engage in this kind of conversation in order to chat about religion is a sign that we are not equipped to help.

You can't have a conversation here, because intentionally or not, ten times out of ten, you are adding fuel to the fire. Just like people can't simply tell me something that would erase/talk me out of my ADHD/depression/anxiety disorder, you also cannot simply argue/reassure/persuade people out of scrupulosity. We should not try. We have a responsibility to consider that it's outright harmful to do so, and to disengage.

#this is a massive pet peeve of mine #im not mad at the people who responded about religion and religious thinking bc it took me time to realize what this was too #like im sure i used to view these kinds of questions in a more...idk flippant light when i was a teenager and maybe even in my 20's #as i became more educated about my own mental health though i started to realize the pattern in these fears #and like many of you i probably originally started replying to people with scrupulosity or similar religious anxieties genuinely #not realizing at first that replying to their fears or questions was inevitable harmful #not realizing that hey actually this is far above my paygrade #ocd/obsessive thinking and anxiety spirals can be crippling life ruining and immensely painful #and unfortunately my love of theological discussions sometimes tripped me RIGHT into what was essentially self-harm #so im not mad at other people for also making that mistake - but i am asking everyone to think about this actively #its too easy to leap in without considering if the discussion is healthy to have for our discussion partner #its definitely too easy to contribute to the pain and fear while only meaning to genuinely help what is misunderstood as a mere “worry” #bc these arent just small fears or worries but thoughts that are causing them immense pain

nintendo het baiting w sidon and his fiancee only to pull the gayest shit ive seen in a While by having sidon renew his vows w link (they got married at the end of ruta’s quest in botw. obviously. clearly.) and giving him a power that lets him ‘stay by his side forever’. i see you husbands i am so glad your marriage is thriving. good for them. good for them. they also both have two hands for anyone who wants to pull any nonsense im js. there is room for yona she just has to understand link has held sidon’s heart for years first.

#idk it is just genuinely funny 'oh yeah uh this chara that we never met or heard mentioned in botw has been my childhood friend #and also we are engaged. #anyway so link is my best friend and when he went missing i was so worried i couldnt handle it and i love him the most in the whole world- #and also i wish we could stay together forever and he agreed so i used my sage powers to grant him a piece that lets him do that-' #i love them your honor. sidon tysm for taking such good care of my precious son i trust u and u alone w him in my stead #and ik u take that seriously thank u sidon. my king [bows] #totk #totk spoilers #legend of zelda #botw 2 spoilers #mine #sidlink #nah but fr i completed the water temple a few days ago and havent stopped thinking abt it since i loved it SO much #sidon is my favorite descendant by far bc he loves link just as much as i do so getting to fight w him like that #and having him being there cheering link on and encouraging him sincerely meant the world. #and seeing how far sidon himself has grown and aaaaaaaaaaaaa #im not gonna go into details beyond that bc i dont wanna spoil more than i have but. yes. yes i sobbed my EYES out #at the final cutscene of the story quest for the mission oh my GOSH

Wait wait wait?? Has Emmet actually caught Wormgo? Is Wormgo Emmets pokemon now? The younger twin gets to finally order around his older twin?

anonymous asked:

what about emmet? will he catch ingo?

he doesn't, actually

#was gonna clean this up but kinda runnin outta steam for the night so you get it as-is #anyway. emmet's worried ingo'll get caught by some evil person and. that's not good! already being caught will prevent that #ingo sees an opportunity to mess with his brother. #(also- genuinely hard to catch him if he doesn't wanna be caught. and he's still got his human mind #so something about it feels uncomfortable. even if he understands why it would be a good idea #and even with the pokemon instincts and tendencies he's got because of being revived As A Pokemon. it just feels odd) #submas #ghost worm ingo #emmet #submas au #ingo #subway boss emmet #also that ksh-sh-sh-sh is a laugh if it wasn't already clear #he makes train noises :) #ALSO 2: idk if im gonna actually have the pointy teeth be canon to his design #or just go handwavey with how he eats physical foods #ghost worm au

i regularly forget that everybody else on the internet isn't as Inherently Used To miguel and his... well, Everything, as i am, which. has consistently made atsv trailer reactions REALLY funny for all the Wrong Reasons to Me Only

A Guy. #a guy who is vvv clever and also has Spider Powers yes but still fundamentally in his heart Just Some Guy w/ a lot of unprocessed issues #anyways i Know how lame miguel ohara actually is and that outweighs any and all potential fear or worry i could ever have of him lmao #when hes cool it;s never on purpose.

On one hand, I want a final fantasy 6 remake, because the game is criminally underrated and the amount of fan content (which is all absolutely fantastic btw) is Not Enough for my neurodivergent, hyperfixating brain.

On the other hand, that would inevitably encourage more people to join the fandom, which would be great, except it seems these days the bigger a fandom gets the more toxic it becomes, and I really like what we have going on over here in our little corner. We all just love the game and its characters and nobody fights about who should and shouldn't date who or who you shouldn't like because they're ~problematique~. Nobody's trying to make one ship morally better than another, nobody's calling anyone names or threatening to doxx people who don't agree with their opinions. It's so peaceful and I love that for us. We're just vibing. Moisturized. Unbothered. In our lane. Flourishing.

#as someone who was in an extremely toxic and chaotic fandom and lowkey still traumatized #to the point where I'm afraid to mention which fandom it was/what my ship was #i have to say #i genuinely love it here #i was nervous at first sharing my ships and headcanons but everyone is so chill i was worried for nothing #thank you to everyone I've interacted with who has made this fandom a healing experience for me #i shudder to think about what some of the people i interacted with in a previous fandom would do with ff6 #probably would take edgar's flirting at face value and call him problematic for objectifying women #instead of considering the narrative and what we know about him and the way he actually treats women #my man drinks loving and respecting women juice he's not a creep #or that weird moment with relm that admittedly made me double take before i realized what he meant #theyd have a whole campaign against him lmfao #bc those people boil characters alive until they're just a formless pile of tropes and stereotypes #and seem to disregard all positive aspects of a character they don't like which is fine #but then they go and try to force other people to think like they do and ugh #theres a lot of silly moments in the game and aspects of these characters that make them well rounded and realistically flawed at times #and i fear that would get lost in the chaos if the floodgates opened after a remake #maybe im just jaded lmao #im jaded and i have anxiety so im always thinking about The Worst Case Scenario #the collective positive spirit of the dwellers in this fandom might actually foster a positive space if more people were to come in #ff6 #my post #i was gonna say maybe this is bc we're mostly adults #but that falls flat when i remember how some of the most toxic and immature people in some fandoms are grown ass adults #who bully each other and younger fans #and some of the most mature and cool people were actually younger #maybe ff6 fans are just built different lmao #also idk how old anyone else actually is there might be teenagers here i just don't think about it a lot

FINALLY LETSGO q!teaduo opening up about their feelings of others trusting them, I hoped so much they’d relate over it the second they both talked with q!bad saying the same thing almost word for word. these two are a perfect match <3

#qsmp #liveblogging #qsmp tina #qsmp bagi #i genuinely hope and pray it goes well between them but im also worried #bc getting involved with the feds is bad news

[cacaocheri]

I get so happy whenever I see your reblogs about Sun and Moon. You are so unapologetically enthusiastic and loving towards them and it makes me smile so much. Like!! Look at these two! They are so silly and goofy and endearing and they make me wanna grab their dumb faceplates and smooch them till they can't function anymore only to do it all over again!! Get loved idiots.

Sidetracking a bit oops but yeah, all your tags where you gush about them fill me with so much joy, as someone who tends to be less straight forward in tags/more shy I guess? I honestly get all giggly and smiley because you convey so well what it feels like to get them both on my dash. Hope this didn't come off as creepy, it's absolutely not my intention, just wanted to show appreciation for a small thing that it's very dear to me. Keep being you and have a wonderful day/night!! <3

AWWW ANON!!!! don't worry this wasn't creepy at all and actually means so much for me to read <333 I'm really happy that my unabashed joy for the dca spreads to other people (and also really happy that people read the silly tags that I put in my reblogs)

I've said this once and I'll say it again!!!! The dca fandom genuinely freed me and if there's one thing I want to do in this fandom, it's to encourage people to be so unashamed with the things they like!

#before sun and moon i remember i was begging a fandom to make me feel anything #and then these guys came along and they made me feel EVERYTHING #i also want to say that I've gotten this compliment a lot! so idk of youre ever worried about being too much #just know that people LIKE seeing someone be passionate about something #they like to see your joy and they can feel it through the screen #anyway thank you anon for stopping my and leaving such a sweet ask. im genuinely gonna treasure it #ask
