Pretty sure my little man has a case of abundism affecting the marble tabby coat under all those white splotches

#random pet post #it really is a weird coat pattern #I'm never sure if I should describe him accurately as a white marked tabby or as the first impression people get of a black and white cat #love his little backward C's #I got all my other pets around the same time and they've been dying off one by one this last year or so #I'm down to just this 4yo kit and Bruiser #actually I'm not done whispering in the tags #pretty soon it's just gonna be me and this terrible little man against the world #and he gives me such weird problems you cannot even begin to imagine #took to the leash and harness without a bit of difficulty but I can't take him anywhere cuz he freaks out about people 500ft away #really difficult to find sitters for him cuz he gets so stressed about changes and waits until 3am to SCREAM #he's 17 lbs and wants to sleep on my chest 14 hours a day #took him on a work trip a week or 2 ago cuz of aforementioned petsitting troubles and some kind of wire got crossed #so instead of stress peeing in my laundry basket he now humps the nearest blanket covered limb to alert me of problems #he got scared of his water dish recently and is only now starting to get over it after 3 weeks of drama #he knocked it over last night and humped my leg while I tried to sleep to try and convey to me that he was thirsty #I'm thinking of getting a second cat and just fucking hoping that it'll be normal and maybe Prompto can target it for some of his weirdness

you know the "gifted kid burnout" trope where the kid used to be super smart but then they turn into a rebellious delinquent?

don't get me wrong, i have nothing wrong with that trope, but i just wish that more variety of "gifted kid burnout" was represented in media.

Can we get one where the kid is still doing well in school but not well enough to be considered gifted anymore and they pretend that they don't care about it but really they do and no one believes them because the really high achievers in the school look down on them ("you're not a REAL gifted kid. you fell out. you struggle with maths") and the average achievers (for lack of a better word) constantly say "wdym? you're literally so smart. i dont get why you're so upset"

?

idk, its just that "high achievers" and "burnt out gifted kids" are represented to some extent, but... aghh i just want to see my problems shown in media so that people will understand

#or maybe its just a first world problem haha... #sleepy vix #mini rant #?

Every year I have the same dilemma. I love king cake, but my husband doesn't really eat king cake, so if I buy a king cake I end up eating an entire king cake.

So I don't buy any. 😢

#first world problems #maybe I'll just eat an entire king cake I'm an adult #no I won't do that #everyone insists on dumping granulated sugar on top anyway I don't care for that

What he says: I'm fine

What he's thinking: A common criticism of Treasure Planet is saying Morph is just there for marketable purposes, but the existence of Morph, and Silver's explanation as to why he has him, implies that Silver is a smol lil guy hoarder and no one is surprised when he starts getting attached to Jim because it's completely in character for him to get emotionally attached to weaker creatures despite his tough guy persona. He's worried the crew will disown him for this weak spot but by now they just roll their eyes because oh look, the captain has a new hyperfixation, wonder how long it'll take for this one to join the collection. Anyway in this essay I will--

#Silver in the modern world would absolutely hoard chihuahuas and you know it #“Scroop I am not obsessed” #“you have a problem” #“no--” #“captain you alwaysss hoard little animals you're fooling no one” #“I'm tough” #“I know captain” #the fact Scroop is less interested in the fact he's gotten attached to Jim #and more about the fact his attachment to Jim might disrupt their plans #it just convinces me this is not the first time this has happened #maybe the first time he's adopted a child though #treasure planet #disney #john silver #jim hawkins #morph #mr scroop

i don’t work until next monday i’m so happy man

#i feel kinda weird complaining about working 3-4 days a week 6 hrs/day #like people don’t work every weekday for 8 hours a day #i dunno. first world problems #but anyway. rest of the week will be gym and maybe some art. hopefully. i haven’t drawn anything in forever #tea time!

i find people who include fantasy racism, sexism and homophobia in their rewrites for ‘added drama’ and ‘issues’ are extremely unoriginal and lacking creativity. if your go to conflict is always fascism just because you have no creativity to try and come up with anything else besides what you know and is obviously ingrained in your brain, you should sit down and think why your go to awnser is always fascism.

.

#ooookay #so uh #I can understand this sentiment when directed at ppl who have no expierence being discriminated against in a particular way #and still write a story abt that discrimination #like a white person adding fantasy racism to their story #however #people often use fiction as a means of exploring or explaining our world in a way that can be more digestible to the viewer #and gay person creating a fantasy story thay focusses on a world with homophobia and how that impacts those living in it #is not adding it for 'drama' #they are commentating on the state of our world which has homophobia #maybe someone's first way to explore conflict in a story is via bigotry because they have expierenced bigotry so often in their life #they view it as one of the major driving forces in their circumstances or perspective #to belittle writing that depicts real world issues as 'adding drama' shows to me that there is a lack of reading comprehension on your part #if your first instinct when faced with a story that includes an oppressed class being oppressed is 'stop add drama' #I think you need to reevaluate some things #one the number one pieces of writing advice you hear is 'write what you know' #who are u to say someone should be more 'creative' than that #aphmau confessions #aphmau #aphblr #aphverse #fandom angies #angies #instead of being mad maybe consider WHY an author may choose to add those things to a story #maybe u want fiction for escapism and that's why it bothers you #but not everyone goes to fiction for that purpose #sometimes they want to vent issues via a story or explain to someone why smth is a problem while excluding as much bias as possible #hence the fantasy setting and depiction of oppression #🤭

spills a bunch of ns on the floor

#pokemon #pokemon bw #pokemon black and white #n harmonia #pokemon n #clai's art #did you know. that i like n. a lot. verrrry much #personal thing: i dont get why reshiram fits n at all? #everyone seems to have a preference about which dragon n should have but i dont get reshiram #n had such drastic motives because he was Lied to his whole life. ghetsis only showed n pokemon that were harmed by humans on purpose #so that n was blind to the fact that the majority of pokemon are fine with humans and like living with them #so while n had the best intentions and honestly believed pokemon were only going to be hurt by humans. and some Are #it wasnt the whole truth. the world n wanted ignored the Real truth that pokemon and humans can coexist with no problems if they try #so zekrom fits him better because it was n's Ideal world not a world built on Truth #protag with reshiram consequently makes more sense because protag shows n the truth. that pokemon can be happy with humans #maybe it is because i played black/black 2 so i'm used to zekrom with n and reshiram with me. but i genuinely dont get it #anyway thats my rambling about which twin dragon n should have #if someone Could explain why reshiram fits n i'd like to hear i'm genuinely curious about other people's reasoning!! #anyway. n my beloved. my first favorite since i played bw for the first time 12 years ago until emmet and ingo knocked him to third lmao

the worst part about being a pianist is that you can't just...simply take your instrument with you

#friends I am BEREFT #I was incredibly lucky to have my own piano for the last three years of college #and I mean like. someone gave it to me for free #and I also had access to a social network in the area + a pickup truck + my father who is an experienced piano mover and problem solver™ #but anyway I could not bring it with me when I left #and even if I could just manifest it here there is nowhere to put it in this house #that's the thing like. you can find pianos pretty cheap on facebook marketplace these days #but moving one is a whole ordeal #and then you have to have somewhere to put a whole piece of furniture #our living room is tiny :( #thinking I could maybe fit a keyboard in my bedroom if I could find one #but it's not the same... #anyway my best hope atm is getting door access to the church I attend #but I have yet to converse with anyone in a position to help me with that #and it's only a short walk which is nice #but still not the same as home piano #ik ik this is a very ''first world problem'' #but for most of my life I have been in the habit of playing almost every day #it's stress relieving! it's creative! it was...kind of loadbearing in some ways... #it's a very Jane Austen predicament. where's a secret fiancee to buy and deliver a surprise piano when you need one

thought id see some deep and thought-provoking discussions about the philosophical and moral questions posed in atsv but all im seeing is a whole bunch of "the whole spider society is evil and fucked up for trying to save the entire fabric of the multiverse even if they have to bear personal grief for it and miles is the only Good One" and man . expected too much from the 'spends 90% time and energy thirsting for scary big vampire guy' fandom huh

#sorry im just . kinda really mad abt takes im seeing (against my will but alas..... twt fyp and ao3 tag cursed as hell) #like ???? just not getting the nuance of the conflict in the movie at All . its not supposed to be one side wholly good one side wholly bad #taking ppl away from this movie for a second and sitting them in front of the trolley problem . baby steps so try to understand this first #NOT ABT MIGUELS METHODS BTW THEY WERE 100% FUCKED UP !!!! he went way too far thats not even up for debate #but more the mindset he was coming from which is still justified from his perspective like dude lost an entire World!! comprehend that !!!! #also ppl getting on gwens and peter bs and peni's cases abt 'betraying' miles like theyre doing smth insanely evil like bro..... enough #aauagghhgh psychic damage from bad takes is happening i need to stop reading these #ummnmnm . dunno if i should even post this idk maybe im the only one thinking too hard abt it #atsv spoilers #my post

Good choice for an upstanding roegadyn husband for Frog to bring home to her parents to impress them: Rammbroes

Hilarious choice for bringing home an upstanding roegadyn husband to alarm and frighten her parents: Rasho the captain of the confederacy in the Ruby Sea.

#the trouble with having a WoL with a well adjusted home life and living parents #is sometimes you think 'hmm they would probably still have something to say about her marrying an elezen #even if he were the leader of Ishgard' #'I must now evaluate every roegadyn man of a certain standing for potential parent pleasing husband quality' #idk maybe this is just an elezen/hyur/roegadyn problem and the world building for other races feels less analagous #to recent historical societies where this would be important #although woe betide if you have a Sharlayan OC #they definitely have roegadyn culture first and foremost #in terms of like... day to day social structures #I'd say the hyur/elezen/roe non-specific 1800s to modern societal expectations #but roegadyn founded Sharlayan's society and you can see how it mirrors Limsa first especially with boats and arcanists #point is your sharlayan moon catgirl might still have to bring back a respectable husband to impress the parents #in which case you could do worse than Rammbroes :P #ffxiv #I am just rambling #I haven't not skipped the ruby sea cutscenes on alts literally ever so this is the first time watching them since Frog was first here #they're REALLY long and back to back in my defence #also Gosetsu would be perfect parent pleasing husband material but like however old Rammbroes is Gosetsu has at least 2 decades on him #going from 'hmm' to 'Frog MUST see her own grandpas in him and that's that'

Guys I checked the Doctor Strange (Movies) newest tag for the first time in like, months, and it's *not* just dominated by IronStrange.

I'm floored.

(It's not all starring Stephen either but fuck it, I'm grasping at straws for variety.)

#maybe a bit of fandom wank #a genie comes to me and wish 1 is “I wish Stephen was just as popular a character as Loki or Tony on AO3” and #and wish 2 is that half of it is gen content #i miss my lotr days #it was so nice #even Sherlock had a good amount of gen content #first world problems #personal

Okay this WILL BE SPOILERS. For totk.

THE GREAT PLATEAU IS CURSED I DONT LIKE IT ToT.

Made it here fine! Easy cruising altitude got the map landed no problem. Minimal enemies. There's a YIGA camped in MY MFING SHRINE OF RESURRECTION. It's all overgrown, that's fine ig, but the YIGA?? Get tf. Out.

Go see the temple, a new message from hylia! Very ominous, but yes ma'am! Off we go to free her from the water under the stone gate. Which gate? Well my first thought was the main blocked off entrance that's now a pond. But let's get a shrine first.

Shrine?? Hello???!

So not only is each original shiekah shrine now a pit to tartarus, there's only one new shrine tucked in the back end of the plateau where a goblin camp used to be. Fine! I'll just run everywhere on foot with my +1 stamina, shall I??

No! It's time for a wtf to hunt you down! The air will turn red with racing clouds, the sky is dark, music is playing backwards, I'm launching myself up the nearest tree and it still isn't fast enough. This is literally the fifth or sixth time I've encountered these, at least two directly ending in my death. They don't even get a question mark from the camera unlike any other miasma monster (for example the depth enemies). I've filled them with bomb arrows and it's made a fraction of a dent in one of them. Hateful hydra eye arm things. They're FAST and TALL. It's like the spindly flesh monster from oot but a hundred times worse. They nearly managed to reach me in the tallest tree!

They eventually leave - whatever triggers their disappearance I truly cannot tell - and grab the dark shards they leave. Okay! Cool! Unappreciated! I go into the pit by the lake, it is VERY SCARY, I get some light roots and reveal a whole civilisation! Giant zelda statues point to an enormous building in the shadows, I pluck up my courage and go over. ???? It's a poe eater statue. Enormous. Full bodied. Stretching down below the bridge I'm on. It's got six sunken eyes and they're all looking at me. I'm absolutely begging this thing not to move, I'm literally inching closer. This isn't a zonai carving at all, this isn't even a zonai room. They've dug into the rock, they DISCOVERED it.

It says the same thing.

I'm terrified. I'm beginning to think that whatever talked to me through the hylia statue, in the temple of time, with her voice and her light, isn't hylia.

Still, I've come too far to back out. I don't think denying this thing is wise.

Up I go! Run all the way from the shrine, off the edge, detour to find a new type of cave goblin or two, blow up the blocked entrance to the plateau. Through the carvings I can make out sort of a face? Hope it's hylia!

It. It isn't. It's the six eyed triangle face that eats souls :). Tells me to go back to the temple. I run onto the plateau (!!! Botw me would be so excited), get ambushed by four black armoured Bokoblins in a row, see 'hylia'. It tells me to bring its body in the depths stones from the four ex shrine pits 'for a reward'.

Nintendo.

What did you do?

#Why has no one else mentioned the wtf miasma hunter what is it why is it doing that how is no one talking about it #If I ever defeat that it's a LOT later in the game. I have no reason to believe it won't just respawn in the next blood moon. #Haven't been terrified to my marrow by a game in a good long time. So good. #Does anyone know if the poe eater is benevolent?? Don't tell me just... Yikes. #The zonai seemed to worship it and I really don't want any part of it. Please give me hylia and her unstable time loops. #I don't know what it wants from me or why it can hijack hylias main statue or even if hylia is in any of the other statues! She ghosted m #me in the floating temple of time! That's not like her!! And now she says 'save the world' and not 'save hyrule' and idk idk idk #WHERE IS ZELDA WHERE IS HYLIA WHY WERE THE ZONAI WIPED FROM HISTORY SINCE WHEN WAS THERE A FIRST KING OF HYRULE #What happened to ss zelda?? If the zonai were the first rulers where were they?? Ss link didn't see a breath of them. The ancient robots??? #Maybe??? #Gushing about totk #Totk #Loz totk #totk spoilers #loz totk #botw 2 #loz tears of the kingdom #tears of the kingdom spoilers #tears of the kingdom #Blz just tell me if you've had the same problem with the gloom malice hunter I hate it so much

Anyway speaking of the sun did I ever tell you about the tales of arise eclipses

#im thinking about it again xyhdfgdchdchjh #do you think they like. considered it #i MEAN ofc they did #they cided that sun disappearing behind rena but dO YOU THINK #that they initially planned to have that actually impact like. the WORLD #in a significant manner? #with the actual luminosity level being affected and all #because like for cyslodia iirc this means no sunlight in the morning #(or cyslodia that we get to explore cyslodia's pretty big after all) #but like i can see how this is a problem like #you liberate cyslodia that is the One Realm where its always nighttime except when you end the renans' grasp on the region there #it still doesnt get a full day of sunlight because of astronomical reasons that we cant do anything about yet #also probably the region of the Central Ocean is in perpetual darkness as well but for those same astronomical reasons #like it GERS CONFUSING it would confuse everything idk #but heres the solution: you ditch that cyslodia in endless nighttime idea bc it was stupid in the first place #like. in calaglia they harvest fire astral energy so its a fiery place. theres fire everywhere. in menancia theyre harvesting #earth astral energy so its super lush and green. and so on and so forth #and in cyslodia theyre harvesting light astral energy so theres. theres no light. its dark. because theyre stealing it!!!!! #well why usnt menancia a barren wasteland then. why isnt ganoth super dry. wha #i COULD accept it if like. maybe. if like the completely stealing the light thing us like. ganabelt specifically. #like hes just a Special Boy and found a way to pull all the stops #and something like that has never been done before in the history of the crown contest #but no this has been going since the great conquest apparently so??? #like how arent the other lords doing something like that too? #is light astral energy like so fundamentally different that the harvesting process is the opposite of what happens in other realms? #and if thats the case why dont they ever explain it in the game. or just make a pasing comment about it. I'm not picky #aaaanyway. just get rid of that specific cyslodia plot point #and THEN you can focus on how living in the shade of rena influenced what parts of Dahna #like. to just kinda like. cement the world building a bit?

Question for my fellow fanfic writers - any fandom, don’t matter -

Have you ever made an OC for whatever project you’re working on only to suddenly be blindsided with a very specific dilemma??

Said dilemma: the character for whatever reason resonates with you so much the moment you put their existence onto paper the first time that you’re now questioning if you should even include them in a fanfiction at all? Like you almost feel like they should be an original character in their own original story.

Anyone? Anyone at all? *having a slight existential crisis at the laundromat*

#neoninky #this happens like once or twice a month I swear #am I creatively spiraling or do I just need to drink some water #writer rambles #writer first world problems #maybe I just need to quit making OCs asdfghjkl #no no not that

#so maybe some of you remember this but a few months ago i posted on here that i really need to move #and now because of course this is the funniest thing the universe could do to me #i have been selected for two different apartments #one of them is in a neighborhood i have lived before #it's near a gorgeous park and if my best friend also gets selected we could be neighbors #but it's even more far away from my job than where i live now and well. i have already lived there before #the other one is in a different city that has always appealed to me #it's closer to my job and there are fascilities in the building that are meant for community building which i could really use #the apartments both cost about the same and are the same size but the latter has an extra room which i love #i think you can see where my first choice lies..... but. the best friend thing is really making me question #it would be so fun to be neighbors #and i know i would see less of her if i move to a different city #but is that enough? arghhhhh. anyways. lmao first world problems i guess #either way i am moving by the end of the year and i am SO excited!!!!
