I'm sorry I let down my guard.

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #xue yang #xiao xingchen #God DAMN this scene was brutal. Season 2 episode 2 is almost nothing but misery and anguish #Helena by Nickle Creek does not quite fit the comic's vibe but it is absolutely a Xue Yang song so I linked it. #The change from “Helena don't walk away...(gentle)” to “HELENA. DON'T WALK AWAY (threat)” is fantastic. #And “Don't waste your pretty sympathy - I'll always be just fine”. Xue Yang core. #Okay now for the real meat. Disclaimer first: *I really like XY.* I think he's a great character. I think his actions consistently- #come from a place of deep trauma. While his reactions and actions put him in a villainous role he is still human about his hurt #and what I'm about to say is NOT intended to be a statement of causality or villianize a group of misunderstood people. #So with that said...Man oh man does Xue Yang have a lot of BPD traits. More that just 'character who is chronically manipulative'. #The impulsivity and emotional reactions and seeking stability makes him feel like he needs that control. What other choice is there? #The part that really gets me is how he *wants* to be safe and happy. But his past experiences tell him how thats impossible #He's the kind of person who goes 'if you don't like me then you better hate me for something substantial". All (pos) or All (neg) #''Love me entirely or Hate me. But don't you dare leave me or forget about me.'' #Not at all comfortable saying 'BPD coded'. Im not a psychiatrist. Just that he has TRAITS. Feel free to disagree or add your thoughts. #ppl with bpd also are not a monolith and everyone has very different experiences. Xue yang is very complex. People more so.

#just saw that tweet abt pink days on the set of the barbie movie & i think it made me realize why it - the marketing etc - annoys me so #'margot robbie went around collecting fines and donated them to charity haha' okay. look. #that's just the perfect metaphor for how it worked for us - me - anyone who wants to align themselves with me - when we were girls #isn't it #because you grow up and you desperately want to fit in with the other girls but you don't & you don't know why #but you're surrounded by things and people telling you what a normal girl is like & little-to-none of it is things you find appealing or #interesting. makeup and fashion and skin care. gymnastics and romance. you're told that you are obligated to be pretty #but prettiness has never been part of your perception of yourself. femininity is an arcane concept #an exclusive club that will never grant you entrance #& the only comfort you can give yourself is deciding that it's dumb anyway. shallow. vain. who cares about looks and boys and all of that #idiots that's who #but this is Doing It Wrong too isn't it? because now everyone who has taught you that you will forever fail at femininity turns around #& tells you that's patriarchal oppression and YOU'RE the bad one by distancing yourself from something that always made you feel defective #'YOU may have never lived up to this impossible standard of perfection but some ppl do and actually it's fine to be like that! #hyperfeminine traditionally beautiful women are the most oppressed group of all & finally we will stand up for our rights!' #'girls can be pretty AND conpetent' but that's not what they're actually saying. isn't it. #because performing femininity correctly is the prerequisite. a threshold you can never cross and you know that. & that's fine #but somehow that's wrong too because you're not supposed to make peace w that are you. you're SUPPOSED to want to do it right #even if you don't and never have and never will #and once again everyone is yelling at you that this club isn't meant for you. if you criticize the barbie movie you're antifeminist #if you refuse to wear pink I'll make you pay a fine #hashtag girlpower #(well im not a girl. not a guy either. and not a secret third thing. just bad at femininity. #bad at being a person. and y'all don't need to tell me you don't want me in your club #I've always known that. i just wish you'd stop expecting me to beg for entrance.)

pro tip: you can think about the ship you're hyperfocused on while listening to angsty vocaloid songs :-) but watch out!

#les miserables #les mis #enjolras #grantaire #enjoltaire #ExR #les mis fanart #fanart #my art #uh. is it normal to be scared of how good your art looks #i genuinely didn't think i could do this as good as it looked in my head #and while i didn't make it to that original vision (that's like. next to impossible) #i got pretty close #this took almost six hours and MAN it was worth it #the devil works hard but nd people fueled by hyperfixtations work harder. or something #anyways you should listen to that song i linked if you haven't. it's awesome and it'll kill you

[aggressionbread]

i need to make more small creative projects that are purely for myself. between the pressure to create things i can monetize and all my personal projects right now being ambitious and time consuming, i feel like i'm going to explode

#i need to make a little pretty thing or im going to be like spongebob when he blew up and there were little squares of sponge everywhere idk #in a slump or something. impossible to wake up before 11 impossible to fall asleep before 3 #impossible to find the motivation to do anything but feel like shit for not doing anything #hey person who corrected me and said february is the most depressing month of the year. i get it now.

please don’t by k.will did more for the gays back in 2012 than any boy group can possibly do with fan service and crop tops in 2024

#do young kpoppies know about please don’t by k.will. im serious do they know #I think about it a lot #it’s impossible to replicate the feeling of being gay and watching that mv in the 2010s and just getting bodyslammed by the ending. #like he really just dropped that shit in TWENTY TWELVE #kibumblabs #to this day I think that’s the most explicitly gay mv ive seen in kpop by an established artist #(ie not holland. no shade to him but he kinda built his platform on being an openly gay artist and he’s not a big industry name or anything #which makes the impact significantly different. if that makes sense. anyway.) #like think about any other example. almost all of them can be brushed off as fan service or are at least vague enough to be #up for interpretation #please don’t’s ending is nearly fucking impossible to write off as anything but explicitly gay #no fanservice involved. no vague staring in each other’s eyes. just straight up Oh He’s Not Jealous Of His Friend He’s Jealous Of His #Friend’s Fiancé. oh #like that’s the whole point. interpreting it any other way doesn’t make sense with the impact it’s purposefully supposed to make #like seriously try to say ‘he’s just sad he’s losing his friend to marriage :(‘ or something. you have to be REAL fucking stupid or #deeply in denial to make that argument let alone believe it #anyway. I appreciate this mv a lot #k.will the OG of doomed yaoi in kpop #kill me #closest contender off the top of my head is one more day by sistar #also note I am talking about mvs here not songs in general #cause if I were talking about songs in general. key’s out there pretty much writing about gay sex at this point so I mean #k.will #kpop #only adding actual tags because I want you to watch this mv if you haven’t already

cannot put into words how badly i want to move out. love my parents but i don't know how much longer i can go without complete control of my time,,,

#the most annoying thing of all time ever is being interrupted #and having to adjust my plans because of someone else getting in the way #like i just want to be able to do my own thing at all times without worrying about external influence #and that's pretty much impossible in this house #don't even get me STARTED on privacy #like they rarely invade it but it's still something of an issue #and i just love to be alone. which is also impossible in this house #let me out of here immediately #girlblogging #this is what makes us girls #just girly things #this is a girlblog #just girly thoughts #just girly posts #girlhood #i'm just a girl #hyper feminine #girly things #pinterest girl #it girl #dream girl #femcore #femcel #the female gaze #girl blogger #gaslight gatekeep girlboss

>Hey, Boss!

>Do you have any hobbies?

-🎶Song Anon

Hm, hobbies?

If you'd consider it one, I do love to organize paperwork, it can be pretty relaxing.

But to be quite honest, I don't really get up to any extra activities or hobbies outside of work. I'm simply too focused on what I do already.

#elevator hitch #normal guy #normal guy elevator hitch #asks #🎶 song anon #{I said this in another ask but its like borderline impossible for me to imagine him doing Normal Human things out of work} #{Though I feel like if he would... it'd be something like... crocheting orrr hm.. diy? kinda?} #{I feel like his hobbies would be pretty laid back and not chaotic. Like.. he likes to have things nice and organized :)} #{So maybe something like making little things: crocheting like I said. orrr.. I could see him being a casual artist *maybe.*} #{Maybe painting or something?? I dunno I'm rambling but do you see my vision.}

look i am delighted marvel is finally in the find out stage after they fucked around and completely over-saturated the market but i can't help noticing it is always, always, always the female-led projects bearing the brunt of the criticism and just left out to dry by disney

#the long awaited black widow movie given a direct-to-streaming release during the height of the pandemic #something they would have never done with a spider-man or thor movie #ignoring toxic (male) fans review bombing captain marvel #the terrible and rushed cgi in she-hulk #saddling their first solo female director with a project pretty much impossible to make work #and now instead of pushing the marvels release back because of the strikes like so many other studios did with their big fall films #disney just decided to drop it with the most lackluster promotional campaign. feeding it to the wolves essentially. #it's exhausting #a shout into the void

"people really overblow how Eternalism is used as a storytelling device"

OHMYGOD RANDOM REDDIT USER I LOVE YOU, FINALLY I FOUND SOMEONE WHO GETS IT

Also this comes from a thread how it's "impossible" to explain Warframe's lore without making someone's head explode.

And it literally isn't. If you tell it chronologically it's not that convoluted at all. The worst part is the Operator/Drifter split but like... that's it.

#wf tag #eternalism isnt and has never been used to patch plot holes in DEs writing #those just exist organically LMFAO #eternalism is used to explain how the drifter and operator timelines coalesced #THATS IT #its literally my pet peeve u guys dont get how passionate im about this #good to see ONE person who gets it #also tbh eternalism has pretty clear rules #like a lot of dimension and time travelling stories just kinda make shit up #but in wf its like #the void is how you travel between dimensions #u can do that via void portals #ballas opened a bunch of portals during new war #the zariman is plugging a giant void hole and also acts as a corridor between worlds #and thats it #its really that shrimple #ok i know saying something is simple is condescending but ugh #i dunno i just hate how people think anything that requires thought is like #bad or too difficult or impossible or wtv #IM JUST BEING ANNOYING #wf reddit adventures

So there's this webserial called 'worm' about a world where superpowers started suddenly showing up in the 70's, and I'm trying so hard to think of a way to merge it with the stans-and-fidds 70s-and-80s plot events. The thing is, powers are caused by going through a traumatic event, and the powers are tied to both that event and to the person's various issues in ways that sometimes seems cruelly ironic. So you see my dilemma here, with there being so many options for events that could've given these guys powers

#godsrambles #fidds is easy: within worm's power classification system he'd be a tinker #which is where you get a superpowered understanding of how to create things that would otherwise be impossible #e.g. making killer robots far more advanced than current science is capable of #if working on the portal was what gave him powers though...... he could either get tinker powers specifically related to making portals #or if it was the greloblin then somethjng related to memory erasing #for stan. idk what would be the most upsetting. shapeshifting restricted to looking like other humans probably. #great for evading the law and for pretending to be ford for 30 years though #oh maybe ford would get precognition. ability to see hundreds of potential futures #maybe in combination with no longer needing to sleep. able to trap himself in literally endless rumination as he tries to figure out- #-how to stop bill #none of these are the Fun Flashy kind of powers though. stan would have fun with fire powers #oh wait. even worse for stan: powers that evoke leeches. able to temporarily steal or drain powers from others or something #or able to copy others' powers permanently in a weaker form than the original power. and he can have multiple weak powers at a time #in this world the mob would have powered folks in it of course so maybe a situation involving them could cause that power #OR. if his powers happened in the aftermath of the portal incident. #ability to teleport anything and anyone within his line of sight directly to him. #he'd be mad for 30 years straight about not getting that power before ford fell through the portal #that or the ability to summon common tools out of nowhere. such as a long rope #idk the powers are always very specific. pretty sure no one following me knows what worm is. #but you can at least appreciate the exercise of thinking up what powers would deal the most psychic damage to these guys

I just finished Links Fabulous Flashback Montage and I cannot recommend it enough. I started reading it for the Sidlink (which is there and amazing) but I hyperfixated on it and read like ~400k words in a month because of the amazing storytelling. It is SO, VERY long and some of the time travel stuff is SO, VERY confusing but Jesus if it isn't the best fic I've ever read. It got me over Revalink (if not Revali himself, the hatred is still strong) it has boys kissing. It has *the* boys getting married! (legit some of the best fluff I've read) it has time travel. It has setup, payoff, and twisting the knife. It has an absolutely BEAUTIFUL and heart wrenching death scene. An ending that makes me want to read the 2 mil word monster that is FGA. Did I mention the confusing time travel? There's soooooo much time travel, of which I understand about half. (And I am really trying to) Anyyyyyyways if you have 100+ hours to burn, I highly recommend it, and the previous entry: Sidon's Epic Pining Adventure.

#there's also some sex scenes/jokes but no smut or anything. it's just personally not my cup of tea so I skipped over them. #from what i can tell it didn't effect my reading experience too much #some people might hate me for it but i'd put it in my top 5 books #like i literally cried at the death scene #and normally I'm pretty impossible to make cry like I got a huuuuge cut on my leg a while back and was just. not *calm* but i didnt cry. #got off topic there but it is seriously so well written #sidlink #obakeari #fanfic #fanfiction #links fabulous flashback montage #sidons epic pining adventure #sepa #lffm #zt adds something

The need to write a series of interconnected oneshots of Ethan Hunt growing up on a Midwestern farm is very real.

#mission impossible #ethan hunt #the fact that this is canon and never gets explored #criminal #but also it genuinely explains so much of his behavior #i look at him and go yeah fellow dumbass midwest farm kid vibes are real #we are in fact like that #not always to that degree #but its really funny that for something canon never brings up after the first movie #they do a pretty good job of making me believe its definitely true

[chiisana-lion]

unfortunate reality for me is that more often than not my favorite characters ≠ characters id like to/am suited to cosplay

#i didnt make a very good mika thats for sure. but this ritsu wig doesnt look half bad and i Did look pretty nice borrowing my friend's mayoi #i do rly wanna do kris detlarune one day......... i might pull them off #id like to so pkmn characters but spe is so niche round here i doubt anyone recognise it smjdhfjdhdjshf #IF ONLY I COULD DO SUA....... could never wear her dress though augh #or tbh. doing yuujirou isnt that impossible for me i think im like his height #but again. niche as hell or2 #duck rants about something

[burntblueberrywaffles]

hello! just wanted to say that i really love your art!! like seriously how do you draw so well with oil pastels omg it looks so good <3

Ahhhh thank you that is so sweet 🥺🥺🥰

#also genuinely don’t know how I’ve been able to use oil pastel they seemed super intimidating and impossible to use forever #and then I randomly tried them on black paper at my school’s art committee and something just *clicked* #and now I’ve made a thousand different portraits with it 😂 #they’re pretty fun my favourite part is how I don’t need to make a sketch first I can just lay down the color and rework it by superposition #and can sometimes scrape off some pastel if I want to remove black #im rambling about art again sorry LOL #ask tag
