#im really sorry if it was the wrong choice

[trainingdummyrabbit]

in conclusion the most poignant thing about ruina is its running theme of Imperfection. imperfection, focused not on its flaws, but on the miracle of it existing to begin with. imperfection not as a failing, but as a triumph. its cracked, broken, deeply in need of repair-- but it's real and its ours and it exists. despite everything it exists and that enough is a relief beyond words, beyond expression. to present a toppled structure not as a conclusion, but an opportunity.

its the choice-- and the joy-- of looking forward, unflinchingly, and facing it. one step at a time.

Cause he doesn't eat any dishes in the game

#actual context: since he doesnt have any dishes in the game I thought i'd be really funny to headcanon during that really awkward breakfast #where orpheus is slandering the Kreiburg name right in front of Fredrick #fredrick greatest concern is that he cant eat because he's too picky and they got his food choice wrong (i imagine its rich people taste) #its a very mediocre joke but its funny to imagine #especially since alice is like hmm he seems to be upset about something #he got no food :( #also I traced an entire background I had no idea what I was doing for this #if anyone points out since ashes of memory 2 is coming out today and he's getting a dish #EHQJEJWq why do you think im uploading this rn (im late) #idv #idv art #fredrick kreiburg #idv orpheus #melly plinius #ashes of memory #sorry alice fans she didnt get in the shot #pwart #illustration #artists on tumblr #also this is my ashes of memory 2 drop artwork now

act annoying on this post and ill block you ♡

everyone accusing black sails fans of Being Rude In The Notes owes me $10 for making me look in the notes (like. What. WHERE) and $10 more for subsequently making me witness the Stede fans also being unhinged petty assholes but it doesnt count when they do it, i guess?

at this point im saltier about Black Sails fans being repeatedly being called assholes but ofmd fans Not being called out for probably the same behavior or worse? and with what feels like very little. evidence? god damn

#toy txt post #pirate poll #if you reply to this post you are in danger of being blocked and ignored #note: after having looked in the notes at what yall are calling mean and cunty amd asshole behavior from flint stans #i would like to add a disclaimer that none of you literally owe me $10 its a silly fucking thing im saying online that means nothing #lest ppl decide to add exortion to the list of crimes we're accusing flint stans of out of ? little to no basis #ftr im a flint voter but i also like stede and ofmd bc im starved for gay pirate shows. these shows are holding hands. these #shows are having a conversation and all of your being dumb in the notes about either one of them owe me and the #poll runner $10 each. again. not a literal statement unless u like. really want to i guess? lmao #i have issue w all yall. those of u voting flint cos stede took a pardon and irl stede bonnet was a slaveowner #are voting for the correct choice for entirely wrong reasons #its not irl stede on the vote its ofmd stede. flint has said his crew has sold more slaves than theyve freed #and the pardon........ill get into that tomorrow #the ppl hating stede for abandoning mary are hilarious to me sorry. he abandoned her and then she was like. finally thriving #the ppl hating flint for being edgy.....specifically that person admitting they didnt even watch past the first episode... #im glad u are not in the fandom i dont think we'd get along lol #u think flints bad for being edgy........whew #to the person who hasnt seen either show but voted flint bc he seemed more chill: you are the funniest person on this earth and i love you #that man is the least chill a man has ever been #and only finally seems chill by comparison when its Silver's turn to go off the rails and then its like not even for very long #hes the least chill there is and hes valid #anyway. one fear: thousands of salty ofmd fans hatevoting flint into oblivion into the next round #if you do that or are planning to do that. i hate you and you are extremely annoying #god he really is vriska. god forbid gay pirate women do anything 🙄 #they h8te to see a 8ad 8itch winning

man the relationship btwn sengoku & cora & law just drives me absolutely insane like maybe one day ill be able to put my thoughts about it into proper words but i am thinking.... constantly .......... its . AUUUUUGHGHGHGBRYGHDHVDFHVB . you know. man man man its like sengoku met this horrifically scarred and traumatized child who went through the exact same terrible things as doffy (and easily couldve turned out just as bad if given the same upbringing) and took him in as his own son and saved him, and so when cora goes back to destroy the donquixote family and meets another horrifically broken & traumatized child who reflects doffy so wholly so clearly, what else can he do but what sengoku did for him? like he sure as hell cant save his brother anymore, but he can and absolutely will save law from doffy & from becoming doffy even if it kills him (which it does), and . like even more than that bc both sengoku & law are indirectly responsible for cora's death in multiple ways because beyond just the obvious vergo connection, its sengokus act of kindness that leads cora to do what he did for law and obviously as previously stated its law's eerie similarity to doffy that leads cora to sacrifice himself to save him from that fate. and even more even more is that as part of the marines, cora & sengoku are supporting and a part of the organization that completely destroyed law's life, which was what led law to the donquixote family and as a result why cora died, but also it was cora and‚ by extension sengoku‚ that gave life back to law thru their acts of kindness and selflessness and AUUGUGUDGUYGFHGYFTDFYHDGBHDFGB AUGHHHHHH AGUHGH. head in hands

#one piece #trafalgar d. water law #donquixote rosinante #sengoku #marine tag #lorillee.txt #lorillee thinks too much about the marines #will any of this ever be brought back up again in canon? no . probably not. #will i be thinking about it forever anyways? yes . definitely. #like man the way doffy and cora and sengoku and law's stories weave together just !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #i want oda to pry all of their brains open for me so so so so bad #why they did the things they did whats wrong with all of them how they really feel abt each other how these things affected their choices #its just.

aa4 is my favorite game in the franchise and (in my own, unimportant opinion) a LARGE portion of its flaws come from the fact that it was totally ready for apollo justice ace attorney 2 or a bonus case or something but then DD burst through the door and said fuck you im blowing you up. and then they blew him up

#like a big complaint i see is that klavier didnt get enough focus or development despite being such an interest character concept #AJAA2 COULDVE FIXED THAT! IT COULDVE BEEN GAVIN BROTHERS BACKSTORY FOCUSED! #BUT NOOOO #shu im sorry capcom beat your franchise into the ground while you werent looking #i love aa5 but like. apollos story???? like phoenic said and it was important that he said rhat??? #apollo is important to the plot of aa5 but its nor HIS story really any more. #dont get me wrong i love dd but it just wasnt a good choice for the series as a whole . like if it was a later game or a spinoff itd be fine #but… ajaa2… we never got you…. bc capcom tore your protagonist to shreds beyond repair #the only thing they could possibly do to make a satisfying ajaa2 now would be to retcon 5 and 6 and theyre not gonna do rhat #and i dont think she should anyway :/

I'm so tired of being mad and tense all the time man I dont think my shoulders haven't permanently been up by my ears in like a full decade by now

I'm so tired so goddamn tired

#marquilla #this isnt ab anything specific im just really fucking feeling it rn and am trying so goddamn hard not to completely burn out but it #feels like every time i try i get smacked down by SOMETHING like the world. needs to remind me its not okay for me to not be stressed #oh you feel stable for once? not anymore now your family is falling apart. oh you were feeling happy and like your job?? not allowed. #oh sorry you actually thought your happiness was meant to LAST?? go fuck yourself. oh you dared have hope and optimism? dont you know thats #not allowed? #like god im so tired my body hurts so goddamn much #i know my chronic pain is mostly genetic but also being constantly stressed since the point of consciousness forming #has to have done something to exasperate it... like for godsake i have white body hair now WHITE. BODY. HAIR. one gray hair on my head #and everywhere else is patchy with white bc my body is too stressed to make pigment anymore #this kinda is triggered by something specific but it's more like... a mindset that keeps getting forced on me by others i think? #like one that pretty much says 'no you cannot be happy you have to be selfless 24/7 or you will be a disappointment to EVERYONE' #idk im just upset and god forbid but i would like NOT TO BE and apparently thats the wrong choice #didnt you know you're SUPPOSED to be a husk? thst you're SUPPOSED to be near burnt out 24/7?? didnt you mar??? didnt you?? #i mean my direct family gets it but... apparently that's it

[todayisafridaynight]

hi its "almost died as an infant" aoki stan anon again. im still thinkin about what to say medical wise BUT U GUYS HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD ABT HIS DEATH like im already frustrated with the "redemption by honorable death" thing that the game keeps doing (east asia has such high suicide rates i dont think its a very responsible narrative to continue telling in general tbh) but especially for a disabled character who had every right to feel vulnerable and betrayed and get a little evil. hes not Right but hes very Understandable and relatable. but then he still chose to live on and face the consequences (ARGUABLY HARDER AND MORE RESPONSIBLE. A GOOD EXAMPLE AND EXPECTATION TO SET especially for a POLITICIAN) and then they kill him anyway with some fuckin BULLSHIT EXCUSE and i feel like its partially because nobody can be bothered to put the effort into continuing a compelling and morally grey disabled narrative and it. hurts to be cast aside like that. especially after they made such a big deal about ichiban being a NEW protagonist/saga with a NEW identity and then. you still just gave me nishiki 2.0. you retold me the exact same story and used a blatant asspull to FORCE it to be the same story and give ichiban a dead brother figure to lament over for the next 5 games???? rgg i thought you wanted him to be different from kiryu???? sigh. it better be a fakeout and he resurfaces perfectly fine in a few games like kashiwagi or else i'm going to start scaling the walls of the rgg office and dismantling it piece by piece

hey howdy. can we call you MAS (medical aoki stan) ima call you mas cause i'd like to hear *mas from you haha gottem

BUT YEAH NO YOU'RE RIGHT. like i joke that ichi and aoki were kiryu and nishiki 2.0 but at least with nishiki, his death was like. .2% more valid while aoki's it's like..... rage. anger. death. i hate it here. this was so fucking stupid there was literally no need for this other than to fill a quota and try to make a "ichi really is the heir to kiryu's legacy" statement. LIKE ICHI IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE NEW FACE, GIVE HIM SOMETHING DIFFERENT- LET HIM KEEP HIS BROTHER SO THEY CAN PURSUE THE FUTURE TOGETHER THIS TIME

it's especially more upsetting regarding aoki as "being cast aside" because we can discern that was a huge thing for him and was a big reason why he turned out the way he did- being seen as useless or something that could easily be disposed off, so for the narrative to do just that right at the very end when it looked as though it was promising him a better future is just so...... rgg you're always so close but not close enough im going to strangle you

#snap chats #*means 'more' in spanish. i would like to hear more from you bestie :) #but yeah dont even get me started on the 'honor suicide' epidemic #my family's seasian in case we couldn't discern and while most of us try not to be self-sacrificing for 'redemption' #my brother has a really bad habit of doing it and being really self destructive whenever he wrongs someone #i had a bad tendency to do it too when i was younger but ive gotten better over the years #and listen in terms of rgg and yakuza i get it- makes sense for yakuza characters who are high on honor to want to abide by that #but aoki isnt yakuza- he hates yakuza LMAO so the fact he still falls victim to that narrative is so.... #UGH rgg you're gonna make me say 'aoki baby im so sorry' at this rate I WONT. BUT I AM VERY CLOSE TO IT #i just think he should have gotten a better ending when he was willing to pursue one #it just makes me angry... like cmon.... #someone said that aoki's death was a cruel irony since his choice was taken from him like how he took choice from others #and while that IS a sexy way to interpret the ending i wont even LIE i'm still pissed like rAGHGH #please say psyche @ the funeral please tell me the funeral was cap #please tell me he just went into a coma for the past five years idfk im not delusional tho. i know rgg sucks and killed him

A question for sims 2 players! I've recently started playing the Goths and i wonder.

#please explain your choice in the tags or comments! #the sims 2 #ts2 #polls #simblr #the sims #mortimer goth #bella goth #goth family #i love that in this game everyone can have a different interpretation of a character and like no one can tell you that you are wrong. lol #but i wonder what the general opinion is #like personally i think that his memory about bella's abduction being positive could stem from him being a scientist #like i imagine he met dina and she used his interest in aliens to convince him to do that #so he was complicit but i don't think he's done that because he wanted to get rid of bella #but because he's this mad scientist and really thought that it would be a great experience for her #maybe he still does. i haven't thought this through to be honest and haven't done any research so sorry if there actually is some sort of #general opinion already #i'm still kinda new to ts2 lore so please don't eat me haha #oh and btw im planning on drawing sth pleasantview! #i know i haven't posted any fanart for a long time but i was kinda busy and either practicing or making drawings for irl people #but yeah probably some goth drawing! #dlaczego oni sie nazywali ćwir w polskim tłumaczeniu dkshddj #wait może to byla gra słów bo sie rymuje ze świr? to by było. nieuprzejme

a bitch has a cane now (its me im the bitch), hopefully it helps. tested it out a little and even on the shortest setting it seems a liiiiitle tall (not dangerously so, just slightly uncomfortable) so depending on how well my shoes fix that i might have to figure out if i can modify it. ANYWAYS does anyone have any tips for like. how to not be embarrassed and self conscious about using a cane as a healthy-seeming 20-something? especially around friends and family who might not understand/might be embarrassed or pitying, but i cant just brush off like i could a stranger? i know some cane users are just like. super confident and dgaf if they come off as "rude" to invasive questions and weird looks but i just. have too nervous a personality to be that confident ajfksjfsj

#mmmm ig ill tag it so other chronic pain folks with more experience can offer advice ? #cane user #chronic pain #i still dk whats wrong with me lol. most likely either heds or hsd but the only geneticist covered by my insurance has a waitlist #until oct. so i wont find out until then lol #plus i work 35+ hours a week on my feet all day and i REALLY should not be doing that because i can tell my joints are getting worse #but i dont have a Choice bc i need Money lol. anyways thats my excuse lmao #sorry for rambling in the tags im just. hhhh nervous.

[heroicallynude]

Its a bit goofy of Pinkett Smith to pick the one ruler who definitely was not black for her documentary. Not only that, but it is stated in the docu that "Cleopatra was def black" and similar statements. I hope she chooses to portray more African queens and rulers in future documentaries. I also hope that filmmakers in general explore more stories outside of the European context instead of raceswapping historical figures such as Anne Boelyn. Its just very Eurocentric. But then again, its probably done because well known names pull bigger audiences, and therefore more money etc etc

I agree, it's definitely goofy. I think it was stated that she wanted to make a docu about strong African female rulers, and i guuuuess since Cleopatra was technically ruler of a country located on the African continent, she figured that counted, despite Cleopatra being way more Greek than Egyptian?

I think this might be why i can't bring myself to take it all that serious, because it's clearly not made by someone who knows enough about the subject for me to really respect them in like a scholarly fashion. I can only assume she must've had some scholars involved, but if the docu feels confident claiming Cleo was DEFINITELY a black woman, then it's clear that Pinkett Smith chose scholars that would support the worldview she needed for her vision to work. So then, the docu was made by unqualified people with a flawed premise, and some wrong choices were made along the way because her narrative took presidence over actual facts.

I hope that the rest of the episodes about other Africans queens are more historically accurate and respectful, but the issue is that her Ethos is already lost since we all know the documentary hasn't bothered with accuracy. It was a noble endeavor, and i think my fear is that others will be discouraged from making similar stories that amplify often unheard voices, because the backlash over this one, stupid, choice overshadowed everything else

#my first post lacked a looot of nuance #it was this very undeveloped thought i voiced becase i was already des up form lsitening to ppl bitch about the little mermaid #but thats not really an excuse to not stop and consider before just letting out some halfbaked opinion #i think bow that ige had some time to think about it. that i can understand why it was the wrong choice to make #and why some people are rightfully angry with it. unfortunately those are mingled in with people that are just being racist about it #and that sucks i think. i want to be supportive of the people who are wronged but i also want to tell the racists to go suck an egg #anyway i looked into the project a little bit more and started to understand why the choice was made even though i dont really condone it #but i guess i also just don't care all that much because im not personally affected by it? so then for should probably just step down #and not engage in a discussion thats not about me or for me. so yeah. I'm gonna refer to the people who have actual stakes in this #omg so many typos in these tags but i am too lazy to fix them . sorry

Tw mild paranoia/abuse mention

Sometimes I'm really happy and I'm feeling normal and okay and then this wave of a weird feeling comes over me and it's like I'm suddenly separated from everything else and I can't get back. Like my brain is telling me "nothing is okay. You have to figure out what's wrong" and I hate it. I just want things to be okay, I want to be safe for once but my brain is always telling me I'm not. All it takes is one second of dissociation and a single paranoid thought and I spiral.

I was wrong about everything before, every single time I thought things were okay and people were being good to me I was wrong. I can't trust myself to see the bad in people. And if I can't trust myself, I can't trust anyone else. I hate it so much... I don't know what to do. There's never anything I can do and it scares me.

#sorry for the ramble just feeling really stuck in my thoughts today #idk whats wrong with me. but i want it to stop #i want to believe the people i love are good but also i have no other choice in a way #it makes it to where im never sure #idk what to do its not like i can just ask someone if theyre abusive. like that would hurt their feelinfs and understandably #like i dont THINK they are... but i dont know how to know #i dont think i really even understand why the things others have done to me is considered abuse #like obviously hurting other people is wrong but im not sure i count sometimes #i dont really feel human... tbh i just feel like maybe thats how i should be treated #maybe its not hurting me. maybe im just like this #i dont really believe that but i dont really not believe it eithet #its like cognitive dissonance- like reasonably i know thats illogical. but my logic cant reach my beliefs #im so tired of arguing with myself #i just want out

my man terry for the character bingo

I have sooooo many feelings about terry silver but i think my most controversial one is that…..I don’t actually think they should’ve included him in the show. At least not in the way they did. Like I love and am fascinated by the character, but I just don’t think that the way Silver was incorporated was conducive to story this show was (originally) trying to tell. And tbh in trying to make him more grounded I feel like everything that was the most interesting about him to me—namely his relationship with Kreese—became incredibly inconsistent with what we saw in the movie. And it’s not that I disliked their dynamic in s4 bc I think it was actually really interesting, but it just made no sense when looking at the movie or the flashback scenes in the show itself. But anyway!

#sorry to go on a rant there lol #its jot that im upset they included him in the show dont get me wrong #bc his scenes were some of my favorite #but like looking back i just dont think it was narratively the best choice #but its fine bc now we have more tall evil men to psychoanalyze so <3 #ty for asking!! #izzygrl #ck negativity #i mean not really lol but tagging just in case #but who knows maybe this will all be rectified in s5 we can always hope #character bingo
