#it means STAY IN YOUR HOUSE

[iridescentmirrorsgenshin]

okay but the fact that we hear all about kaveh's life post-fall out with alhaitham, the fact he graduated, worked at construction firms and continued taking on others' burdens, had a hard time finding solo work because of how arts are perceived in sumeru, that he went to his mother's wedding in fontaine, that he took a vacation from work because he was stifled by the environment and felt he had lost motivation and worth as an artist, was determined to complete the palace of alcazarzaray at the cost of everything he owned just to have a tangible object of his efforts and view of art only for its outcome to further emaciate him, until he meets alhaitham for the first time in years, is understood at once, has no need to don a front as he does for everyone else in his life, is listened to, is challenged once more and reinvigorated in his perception of his ideals, is offered a second chance, a home, and accepts it, although he cannot comprehend why alhaitham would offer such a thing and yet not ask anything of relevant substance in return, other than rent

all of this, and we hear virtually nothing of alhaitham's life post-fall out with kaveh, besides his graduation and his taking on the job of the scribe. his character stories omit this part of his life whereas kaveh's is full of detail and emotion, mostly suffering. the first instance we see of alhaitham in this time is from kaveh's perspective when the two meet again in the tavern, and in this alhaitham endeavours to understand kaveh once more, before offering his house - the research centre previously allocated to the both of them for the success of their joint thesis before they fell apart - to kaveh.

we don't know why alhaitham moved out of his grandmother's house and into the research centre, why he renovated it from a research centre into a livable home, only that he did so after kaveh informed alhaitham through a third party that he was not in need of a house, nor do we know his thought processes and emotions in the years spent apart - the years that are carefully documented in kaveh's character stories. the image we are presented with is that of stasis; alhaitham pursues no other close friendships, he works as the scribe, owns a nice house within sumeru, is financially secure, and functions within, and carries out, his own ideals - is content with this way of life. in this, from alhaitham's perspective, there are no details necessary to give from this time

but in inviting kaveh to live with him, his character stories tell us that what he gains by doing so is the mirror of himself, both in personality and scholarly thinking, and in this, he is able to gain an enhanced view of the world, which otherwise would be limited. with kaveh being present in alhaitham's life, alhaitham believes that his vision is perfected, whereas it could not be before, with kaveh's absence. it is in this that we hear what alhaitham has been missing in his life, and ultimately, it is kaveh, not just as a scholar, but as a person

what is omitted from alhaitham's character stories is provided in kaveh's character stories; where we hear about kaveh's struggles, we don't hear about alhaitham's. perhaps this is because alhaitham did not struggle as kaveh did in terms of realising and achieving his ideals, but instead his struggles were in silence, recognising that his vision, and himself, had been compromised because he had rejected the ideals that served to enhance his own vision, that he had inadvertently rejected, and thus had been rejected by, kaveh.

#basically alhaitham's silence of this time period is very telling #its giving that inazuman proverb #is it basically that kaveh wasnt in his life and everything stayed the same and therefore there was nothing to challenge him? #yeah basically? obviously im not whittling his character down to him solely revolving around kaveh #but that doesn't mean he can't do it to himself #youre not helping your case my guy #but seriously alhaithams character stories explain the differences between him and kaveh in terms of their views #on the talented and the collective which contextualises the cause of their argument #their character stories are intrinsically linked because mirrors #which is why it is so interesting to me that alhaitham basically gives no information about his life after kaveh #and any information he does give is to do with kaveh in terms of the house which kaveh also mentions #haikaveh #kaveh #kavetham #alhaitham #haikaveh meta #anyway IM GOING INSANE

Decided to nail down my design for this dingus, lol. I think he's face turned out a bit more robust in that 3/4ths view than I intended, but hey! It gets the idea across.

I'm really proud of this :}

A humble doodlesheet beneath the cut [minor alcohol cw]:

Life is hard as an 18-yro ex-hero apocalypse refugee trying to rent his wares. No friends but your bird(?) and this child you pay rent to.

These games are something else.

Now, onto the rambling proper:

I wanted to further the contrast between Link and Ravio even further. I gave Ravio a stockier frame(what else do I do with robed characters?) and made him a few years older. He looks stronger, sturdier.

And yet, he's actually quite sickly. His dark skin is pale and blotchy, with circles under his eyes. He suffers from malnutrition in the wake of Lorule's ongoing famine, and as such, despite his formidible strength, is saddled with frequent fatigue. That man sees shrimp colours when he stands up. He is a worn, weary, wary thing.

Regarding his garb, I took a page out of Yuga's book when it came to the undergarments you can see peeking from beneath the robe, as well as the shape of the boots. Lorulian fashion, baby! The world may be ending, but at least we have our colourful stripes and pointy shoes.

Also pulled minor inspiration from the Happy Mask Salesman, what with the gold ornamentation(especially near the wrists and throat) on his own purple garb. While not nearly as cumbersome, I gave Ravio some sacks, pouches and pockets. He's a travelling merchant! Where else is he gonna keep his stuff?

May or may not give Ravio a cooler skintone, but I don't want to lose the contrast against the purple.

I could probably go on and on, but I'll leave it here <3 Hope he brings you Joy.

Peter and Jay doodles feat. T.K. and Lucy (headcanons for what I think they'd look like as humans.. gonna change their designs though)

#Jay during his adjustment period of moving in with Peter would be super mean (unintentionally) but loving towards Rat ofc #by mean i mean he's more likely to insult Peter or isolate himself in his room and such #not cause he hates him no no no he's just mad he was knocked out and was locked up in the house #when they talked about it Jay just spoke about how he didn't feel like Peter trusted him all that much #cause he would've said yes to moving in and he wouldn't run off if he were allowed outside #the end of night 4 (?) where he'd end up tied in the basement happens around a week after being moved in #he'd be terrified until Peter spoke. he'd probably try to crawl towards him. to be comforted or something. #he'd hardly care for the knife. say he loves Peter. he'd be horrified to see Peter's cuts though #after it all he'd scold at Peter as he cleaned up his wounds. he'd call him stupid a bunch. he'd cry too probably #and after handling Peter with care he'd just wet his own wound and dab it with toilet paper. he wouldn't care if it were still bleeding #they'd sleep together after that like just lay in Jay's room cuddling #Jay waking up earlier than Peter to make waffles for him #stay tuned for when I make more doodles and give little fun facts about them and their relationship #until next time ig idk #my art #void #Jay #Jacob #Your boyfriend #your boyfriend peter #Yb game #your boyfriend game #Yb peter #peter dunbar

| TMDG ANNOUNCEMENT| 💙🔪💔 | AU Ground Rules |

I'm in the process of writing TMDG. I've had several people ask me if they can use my SK! Sans in fanfic or what have you... Or expand on the very limited lore I've provided:

Please... Do not.

I have all the pieces in place for SK! Sans's backstory/motivations/characterization. There's a whole background for Frisk I have yet to reveal, etc etc — Everything is plotted out.

I just haven't put it out there because it's *spoilers* for the fic that I'll be releasing in the future.

So anything TMDG / SK! Sans / Final! Frisk related will kind of have to remain closed for now.

I'm not saying that the whole of the True Crime genre is off limits, that's ridiculous, but the story of TMDG itself is under lock and key at the moment.

NOW, that being said: You're free to make all the theories you want, you're free to draw Fanart, etc buuuut I do ask to refrain from expanding on my ideas which are... airtight and secret.

Trust me. They're all there. They're just behind a padlock rn.

I hope all of that makes sense.

Love you all!!!

🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

And thank you so much, Dear Hearts, for getting interested in this concept. Please just bear with me.

#i don't want to come off as possessive and mean #I love all the inspo and ideas that has been created because of this concept #I did have a few people approach me on Twitter tho #and kind of rang some alarm bells in me #like how are you gonna write fanfic of SK when I haven't even released THE Fanfic of SK!? #hahahaha #SOON #once it's published and out y'all are free to come up with theories and use SK in your writing if you want #but... he's just very complex #hahaha #and so is Frisk #so for now I just ask to stay tuned and be patient #thank you so much for understanding and supporting! #again I hope this doesnt come off as pretentious or whatever #not my intention #tmdg #sk! sans #mob talks #house cleaning #the most dangerous game

acnl is a superior game to acnh in almost every way except the graphics. it’s actually making me mad

#purrs #working at the roost… mr shrunk… main street … multiple shop upgrades… megaphone (and microphone AND CAMERA on the ds)… villagers have #distinctive personalities and spread rumors and ask to schedule a time to come to your house… pattern grass… kappn island minigames… bananas #and mangos and durians and perfect fruit… the town tree and all the history in it… like idk. i love acnh too but it’s just so hollow and i #wasn’t even around for acnl in its glory days. like i STILL haven’t unlocked all the shops or shop upgrades on acnl or even met Gracie yet #or whatever and on acnh the only thing i need to do is get like 2 more reactions and then ive completed the game. and it just feels #pointless logging on and whatever (ik im saying things that have already been said a million times) bc the villagers are just dolls who say #the same 3 things over and over again. meanwhile eunice and benjamin are two of my og acnl villagers and they’re still there 5 years later #and i log on and talk to them and it’s so rewarding to bc they feel like actual.. people! who i love and who love me. whereas my acnh #villagers who i also love will just carry on exactly as they were no matter how long ive been gone. idk. i just don’t understand why they #decided to downgrade so much for acnh and let go of all these features and characters. i really hope they’ll make another game and that jtll #have everything new leaf had and more. and i mean the new horizons features can stay too (except for diy. i HATE diy) #ac #exterior building customization beyond just houses… sitting on rocks and tree strumps (and tree stumps having patterns)…. 😭💔 #the basket where you could put stuff from kappn islands in there so it wouldn’t fill up your inventory….

found out that rascal's owner took him again while i was out, and he's probably not gonna be back since the semester's almost over. i don't even know if his owner's coming back next semester, if i'll ever see him again. if he'll ever see me again. why do they wait until im not around to do this? why do they never let me say goodbye to him?

#i didnt really get to process it bc i found out when i was hanging w a friend but. im processing it now #sigh.. i dont know. i dont know. #at the end of the day he is and has always been someone else's cat. i can't control what she does with him #no matter what i think of it. she can always take him away. but every time it happens im just. im tired yknow? #it's worth it to me to have him around. i love him dearly and i want him to be in a home where he's actually cared for (which i have done my #best to provide) but he's just. not mine. and every time it happens i back up and think man. im such a sucker. #i don't think people manipulate me often. not in an ongoing way i mean. i don't think ppl see me as valuable enough to most of the time. #but damn. she really found my weak spots didn't she. free petcare courtesy of one chump who can't live without animals around. sigh #he deserves stability but he deserves love more. this weird shared custody thing is better for him i think. and frankly i also love him. #im not the priority here but my feelings are like. there. him being taken away without even telling me first hurts. i'd like to be able to #say goodbye to him. im not saying he has to stay or this has to go on but couldn't they just.. consider my feelings a bit more? #just bc you're fine with dropping your cat off somewhere for weeks not knowing when you'll see him again and not visiting doesn't mean i am #and i kind of feel like my roommate is part of this. after all it's not like his owner can just break into our room and take him #and if im always out when they do it there's a chance roomie's just shipping him off whenever she gets sick of him. #she's done it before. even after she agreed so vehemently with me about never wanting him to go back to such treatment and stuff early on. #she's been spraying him for little reason lately too. and i mean i get being a little more cautious with some things bc her neck's broken #but she's really fixated on how much he smells and bites and stuff and talks about how if i wasn't around she'd consider eating him #and then other times she's like that's my pookie. i don't get it. like yeah i tell rascal to fuck off sometimes bc he hurts me but it's not #like a hateful thing. i dont resent him for it i'm just annoyed sometimes bc he's maiming me a little. he's my baby. how could i loathe him? #so it makes me think that roomie might be blaming his transfers on his owner bc she doesn't want me to judge her #and like. this is her room too. it's not her fault she's more bothered by the smell than me. if she doesn't want to be bitten and clawed all #the time i can sympathize. i don't wanna force her to house him. but i wish she'd just be honest with me i guess #like. what if his owner decides to give him away without telling me? i'd take him in in a heartbeat. even though i know it's a bad idea. #but i'm worried he'll fall out of my reach completely. and at the very least I'd like to be able to say goodbye first. that's all.

[scribbyizback]

ok well now I'm fucking pissed

#tw vent #in the tags #its never #its never the child thats the problem #its the grown ass adult that thinks she can force a child to do whatever she wants her to do #but when look at the situation and think #huh #you are simply not right and this childs feelings are valid #maybe screaming and shouting at someone younger than ten and bringing physical violence isnt right #i mean seriously #maybe that simply is not right #and maybe i want to have the chance to fucking say that #maybe i wont stay silent when a sister is turning the house into her rage room #idgaf what your age is #its js proving how fucking immature you are #im just so #im fucking pissed #im not spoiling a child by giving her the ability to not be screamed at by you #you arent a fucking high and mighty princess that can control us #and we're not shittheads for being unnaccepting of that #i have had a shitty week #i am losing my fucking voice because of this fucking sinus thing and it hurts so fucking bad #ivs just been upset period #my family wont pay attention to the fact that i can struggle without telling them #and of course theyre not gonna know im hyperfixating #they wont let me have social media liek every. single. teenager(btw #if a modern day adolescent doesnt have social media they are missing so much bullshit its not even funny) #so how tf are they gonna know i fixate on THE ONE HORROR GAME THEY HATE WITH A PASSION???? #they never fucking asked #and i have to scream to be heard by this bitch ass of a sister that cant handle a child existing and doing the same shit she still does

The masculine urge to be strong, consistent and vigorous (physically, mentally, emotionally) and provide (financially, basic needs, shelter, love) as an adult, who grew up in a wrecked and abusive home which then slashed gnarly tears in my spirit (and the life-long desire to have these gaps softened by real love)

#I'd been thinking about this #I mean... I'm succeeding in those areas. I put in a life's worth of work to outgrow my upbringing - tho in a tactic + considered manner #aka I didn't move out the flippin' house as soon as I could - since flat broke I couldn't had built the career I'm building right now i.e. #It hasn't been all daisies choosing to stay home but it has gotten me far and has made me resilient and strong 👐🤠 #And now as I enter my 30s I feel I've been together enough for some years that I crave a love who lets me care like a boy lmao - #To eventually build a life with somebody that feels warm and secure and good. while my spirit can learn to heal/rest in their embrace #personal #When I say care like a dude it's not taking someone's independence away. like. just lemme fix your house defects or get u to eat fancy stuf

dont want to hot take on @ahhhhhwhat's great post, but I think fandom would have less fights in general if it could understand that friendships are equally / if not more important than romantic feelings.

like, idk if yall just never had close friends, but I would absolutely go the extra mile for them and I just know if I were a fictional character people would tell me I'm doing it because I love them so much (romantically). Like "Oh, she organised that a cake was sent to A*** house for his birthday and says its because she felt bad that he couldnt celebrat during the pandemic but clearly it is because she wants to bang him" or whatever. like no. i just really really value my friends.

#nisi rambles #i could go on and on about this #how shippers get literally SO UPSET when i say i prefer those and those people as friends #as if that somehow WORSE #as if friends dont stay with you your whole life when romantic love fades away #as if they dont stick with you through your hardest times and help you come out on the other end healthy #i didnt have any friends for a long time in my life or not many at least #and the ones that are sticking with me are so valuable #so if A has birthday and we cant visit him because its dangerous #yes i will organise him a cake thats sent to his house #because its a nice thing to do that makes him happy #still doesnt mean i want to bone him

mom told me just now that i should maybe pursue art 😑 girl dont remind me that its secretly my dream to live that hashtag aesthetic artist who sells prints and can live off that full time and own a house like…. sigh idk i dont want to be defeatist like ill never know unless i try and i do plan on trying and maintaining a small art career. hashtag side hustle small business. but like unless i somehow get a gazillion sales we have to be realistic and understand its not that feasible. doesnt mean i dont want it tho….

#‘silas what are you talking about. cite your sources’ im like if addie best studio on instagram was masc. okay you see the vision? #honestly like she gets me i fucking love lino printing and i love folk art. she issss one of my biggest inspirations #i also fuck with leigh ellexson even tho i only like her paintings and not her illustrations butttt the vibes are nice #anyways im thinking of opening an online shop posthaste… been thinking about it for years but shipping scares meeee #but like. im a damn printmaker i cant just have an edition of 30 prints laying around my house that’s valuable real estate in my little room #so idk stay tuned for that. hard to feel encouraged that youll make sales when you get like 15 likes on instagram per post #and never done commissions and only sold a handful of items at the only market ive been to #like doesnt give a guy hope. but we power through. #sorry this sounds to depressingggg im fine i just think about it sometimes and my mom reminded me that i couldve gone that route. #i mean i still can #but im happy with a multitude of careers which is why im studying other things. so its okay

I haven’t looked in on the unfinished side of our basement in a while and… my dad’s hoarding has actually gotten significantly worse. And we just heard from my grandfather last night that he’s pretty sure my grandmother is going to pass soon. And when that happens, my father’s hoarding is absolutely not going to get better. So. That’s a lot. I brought it up to my mom and she told ME to research psychiatrists that specialize in hoarding. It’s a very eldest daughter kind of day.

#it will be a relief when my grandmother passes mostly because it has been causing my grandfather so much pain to care for her like this #she’s been in decline since 2016 and has been in basically a vegetative state for the past 2 years #so we’ve already made our peace with that and started that grieving process #but I am the most worried for my father #he’s been in therapy for a couple of years #but he still doesn’t have many coping skills #his binge eating has gotten worse his hoarding has gotten worse #so we’re absolutely headed for a breakdown if intervention doesn’t happen NOW #and my mother has kind of resigned herself to it happening which means it’s all on me to make sure it doesn’t #because apparently I’m the only one in this house that actually gained coping skills #‘your parents trauma isn’t your responsibility’ i can hear my therapist saying #but Ashley I still have to live in their house so if I want to stay sane while living here #it has to be somebody’s responsibility #and like many times in my family history: nobody else is willing to do it so if I don’t do it it won’t get done #thank you for coming to my ted talk #taking a friend to see a movie later because his mother just had emergency spinal surgery and can’t walk #and she’ll be in a rehab facility for over a month #*heavy sigh* #eldest daughter syndrome
