#its boring and sucks

[koipalm]

liushennnn in my attendant sy au (read right to left)

notes on this au:

sy transmigrates into a new body when sqq fights the system trying to force him out of his body. sqq is livid and decides to take sy as his retainer/secretary/assistant, forcing him to do most of the accounting & administrative work on qing jing peak and work for sqq for free while also helping sqq avoid his tragic fate by telling him spoilers and secrets about the world that sy remembers. sy has no golden core and no cultivation, and cant wield a spiritual sword or fight. sy has no documents, no money, and no prospects. sqq basically provides everything for him & can also take it away. sy moves into the other room in the bamboo house and cleans and organizes as well, although his own room is a mess. sqq never makes it clear what sy's position on the peak is, so all of the disciples follow his orders in fear of disobeying sqq. sy is basically 2nd to sqq, although he doesnt see it that way; he sees himself as sqq's overworked servant. he resents sqq for his control over sy's life, but he's terrified of being kicked out.

sqq takes sy to the peak lord meetings as well, using sy to carry documents, serve tea, and to give him information about anything that might be useful to sqq if it comes up during the meeting. sy also often acts as a messenger for sqq between peaks. he doesnt get much interaction outside of senior disciples and the other peak lords.

since sy's hands are usually full with documents, accounting books, talisman paper, & anything else sqq wants him to carry, sy can't use his fan to hide his face as much. instead he uses his hair & his glasses. his skin is sallow & he often misses meals from running around doing sqq's errands, so he always seems tired. clothes he wears are simple & loose, either slip on or buttoned up. he dislikes loud & bright patterns bc he doesn't want to stand out, but sometimes has no choice bc sqq buys his clothes. sqq will often make him wear more extravagant patterns, even when it makes sy nervous about attracting attention.

since sy seemed to appear out of nowhere to the other sect members, sy is very worried about acting too suspicious and getting kicked out. he copies sqq as much as possible to acclimate to the world and seem unphased & elegant.

sy is very interested in the other peak lords since he interacts with them often, especially liu qingge. liu qingge often catches him staring, but sy tries not to interact with anyone more than he has to. liu qingge usually sees him hiding behind sqq as a buffer. if sy does speak, he does it low & quiet, & if behind his fan if possible.

sy looks like his old body & has long black hair, similarly styled to sqq by his insistence. sy dislikes this.

sqq calls sy "a-yuan" bc sy doesnt like it. sy doesnt like telling people his name though bc it makes ppl think theyre related, which he also doesnt like, so he doesnt stop sqq from indroducing sy as "a-yuan". this makes it very difficult for other ppl to know what to call sy in fear of being too familiar

sy does meet sqh earlier in this au, and he helps him as much as he can get away with behind sqq's back. since sy is less bound by the system than sqh is, sqh sometimes "sponsors" sy to do things he himself cant do.

sy calls sqq the equivalent of "sir".

#my art #shen yuan #liu qingge #liushen #svsss #sy attendant au #notes r basically just copied and pasted from my notes app lol.. #i still cant for the life of me figure out sy's term of address for sqq #it's supposed to be familiar enough yet reverent enough that sy can get away with it #because he doesnt want to call him shizun or peak lord shen qingqiu #also i get that like theres this whole thing of making everyone be like oh sqq/sy you are so beautiful and so moe #but i think that gets boring. what if everything sucked for him all the time and he was rly dehydrated and lqg still liked him like that #also its right to left bc thats just the way the paneling worked out best

#dragalia lost #satsuhart #valerio #it was over 60mins but i wasnt really sure how long but it shouldnt have been over 90min...? #anyway the way i went from eh to AWOOGA @ valerio the moment he tied his hair needs to be studied #like i am so neutral-neg towards long haired men (women too actually but i mind it less w female chars) but the moment its in a ponytail i #i just think alt hairstyles are nice.. but i also just really... dont care for untied straight long hair i think its visually boring #anyway i totally forgot he got a spiral LOL i was checking his release date for something after drawing this and i saw it again #icr if i ever used him in endgame? but probably not bc i kinda suck at controlling stance users and its awful to let them ai... #i must have done kaleido with him tho... i did it with about half the cast #anyway did you know valerio has a little fang ? its so cute even tho it only shows up when hes being really emo about primia

Dogstock are typical of what are often deemed the ‘evil’ races in many other fantasy works. They were created by some higher force to be slaves, they are carnivorous by nature, they resemble animals other than human in dentition and build. They growl and bite and walk behind.

The Uhasr (a dogstock culture) are descendants of such slave-infantry that was abandoned when the empire that used them to capture the steppes decided the land wasn’t so profitable after all, and more pressing matters drew their attention elsewhere. Like tools left spent on the ground, the unneeded, excess dogstock were left to survive on their own in Hochkiskuph. The native peoples, of course, did not welcome them any more, or see them any less as oppressors when the hand released the lead. To the Hochkiskuph peoples, the Uhasr are a predatory ghost, an echo that consumes them even in absentia. To the Uhasr, one human is much like another, differing in number and equipment, but never in essence. Uhasr are a species of wild animal with a human face. Humans are prey on two legs. Humans smoke and poison uncovered dens on principle, Uhasr abduct and consume men and women and children all the same.

A common trend I have noticed in media which aims to humanize monsters, is that it often relies on passivity. Humanity is contingent upon kindness. The monster that is A Person only so long as they are a harmless thing at heart, something which can be understood and befriended. Their violence is reluctant, their hearts noble. Grace is a concession to the dominated. Only the toothless beast, declawed and pinioned and caged, is one which has earned its personhood. The ontological enemy supersedes the ontological man.

#haven't posted them much (all wips) but been thinking about the sphinxish people in my setting. same world as thrones #different part of the continent like 2 whole seas away #this is inspired by a shitty comic a friend is reading and also thinking some of the writing in the long way to a small angry planet re #hostile aliens really really sucked. #i want to talk abt this more so im posting it if you have thoughts i would like to hear themmmmm #i'm very cynical about this kind of stuff lmao #dogstock #im also reading tollkien rn so im thinking about ORCS #i dont actually like the lotr trilogy all that much but not even bc i think the writing is bad i just think its kinda boring. sorry. #thats not a very interesting reason to not like something i dont even think its not good im just not super entertained. rip #like not saying there is no issue with it at all writing wise there is very much to say abt how it is utterly and uncritically #white good black bad fair elves and dark orcs and shit like that #but i've liked things more that have bigger issues. hi pern. maybe i just like shlock! idk! #rambling. im keyed up hi #the gibberish in spookygibberish

i can't believe that there's a movie about mothman with a handful of relatively well-known actors in the cast and it fucking sucks (← he just lost 2 hours of his life he'll never get back to the mothman prophecies)

#🐉 #the only interesting character in that thing was that indrid cold guy. call me babygirl ill listen to your prophecies any night <3 #it doesnt even suck in a FUN way either its just boring #which is fucking insane. you made a movie about mothman being an omen of death and disaster and i felt like #i needed subway surfers gameplay footage playing in the corner to stay awake. HOW.

I'm still so mad about the Wyll rewrite actually

#like on top of how shitty it is that larian chose to listen to the vocal racist part of the fandom calling wyll boring/aggressive/etc #it really fucking sucks that i will never get to know what the real deal was with wylls revenge quest #i was SO CURIOUS bc i was certain more of his quest would play out in act 2 and 3 w the goblin vengeance stuff #like his utter hatred for spike?! who took his eye??? HOW?? #and now its oh yeah he lost that eye in the dragon fight. #how all the other goblins KNEW him or at least OF him and they had this history #i wanted so badly to uncover wylls backstory with the full game. #and instead they rewrote it. so I'll never know. #like the revenge quest angle is so fun to me! love Astarion's revenge quest on cazador for that reason #and like i just wonder what could have been #wyll could still have been out to get karlach and that all stays the same #but the goblin history and revenge quest could have played out alongside it too #like WHAT did the goblins do that pissed him off so much? #and his moral compass is like the same so u know it was something horrible #like ok wyll signing a pact to save the city kf baldurs gate ok yeah yay #but wyll turning on the goblin gang he was fighting with and signing a pact to save 1 young boy from a goblin raid hits different

i miss ai image generators that suck. i want old artbreeder back so i can make flesh computers again. i want to tell the computer to make something that is 50% website and 50% swimming cap to get the Meat World back

#swimming cap was one of my favorite options on artbreeder #bc most images of swimming caps...are on people in bathing suits #so if you put swimming cap into the 'dna' of the image you'd get a lot of. Flesh. #but now like artbreeder dall-e mini all those that used to make super weird janky output that absolutely didnt look like real photos or art #ork. they've all 'upgraded' their image generation to the ai generated stuff we're all familiar with now. and it sucks that stuff is so BOR #NG. even putting aside any ethical arguments ai artwork nowadays is just BORING AS FUCK!!! any ai-generated image that seeks to replicate #either real photos or human-made artwork is going to fall short imo. there have been times when ive been moved/loved ai art and it is ALWAY #when they lean into the strange fucked up quality that computer generated images can have!! the way things mesh and bleed into each other #its really visually interesting!! MY MEAT COMPUTER IMAGES I MISS THEM

ive been seeing a lot of anti zosan posts in the tag recently hey do any of you guys wanna come over so we can argue and then make out?

#zosan #its just a little bit funny when people hate on ship fans for a ship that hates each other #oh so you think im annoying and dumb *twirls hair* haha what else? #though i DO kind of agree w a lot of what the anti zosans say i dont like the popular fanon i think it sucks #i think the fanon overlooks a lot of what makes them really funny and interesting and flatens them down into boring yaoi troupes #the anti zosans make some good points. however. for the bit. im against them

cant wait for taylor swift to drop a couple of grand on some environmentalist organization or some shit in a couple of days so her fans can say “see??? she is a true eco queen <3 she cares sooooo much" and absolutely bully you and call you a misogynist if you point out shes still rich af, STILL has a private jet she uses irresponsibly and without a doubt used the cottagecore image to make herself trendy popular and sell shit when in fact she dgaf about nature and sure as hell never seen a farm without workers doing shit for her like the true american wealthy white woman she is. 

#like im calling it cause she always does it and its so fucking EVIL #her stans are reaching outside of the realm of sanity and coherence to defend this diabolic shit #rich people suck ass and doesnt give a shit about anything other than themselves #she will throw some couple of dollars for her to call it a day and still jump on a plane cause shes bored with her little privileged life #in search for some trend she can take a hold on and squeeze money out of #imagine being this bland #and fucking devoid of all true sense of self #thats why her music fucking sucks and all she does is appropiate from minorities #if you have no soul how good can your art be #taylor swift #anti taylor swift #fuck taylor swift #environmentalism #personal #fuck the rich #climate change

That last ask was quite silly! I thought most of the point of developing your own art style was to.. You know, make it your own? Art styles seem like a melding pot of influences and things that make you happy and content! It feels like someone copying someone's art in art class line for line to slack on the assignment. What's the point of that? What do you even learn! How silly... -Dolly

what do you learn AND in what way does it benefit you and others! answers: nothing & in no way <3

#that IS the point smh so true dolly <3 #also its like... each individual style adds something new to the world #how boring would it be if everyone did art the same??? it would suck!!! #seeing all the different styles and methods is what gives art beauty and meaning! #to have two people draw the same thing but each looks Different and Wonderful... thats the whole thing! #interpretation and personality! #rambles from the bog #why would you want to draw like someone else when you can draw like You? #its so worth the time and effort....

If it makes you feel any better this was planned from the beginning, one of the first things her VA learned after being cast was that she was going to die

yeah i could see the seeds being sewn earlier 😭 it was a competently written character death. doesnt mean i have to like my least fave continuing to live instead of a ginger queen. also does this mean team juniper is now just team juner

#og post #ask #krafterwrites #liveposting #its okay that she was meant to die but i just know theyre going to use this for jaunes stupid fucking arc #<- sorry. i just think he sucks and is boring 👍

[hungriestheidi]

seeing ship discourse when i read pretty much anything if you present a convincing enough argument for it

#its just so funny bc it's like oh sebchal is problematic oscarmark is worse lestappen sucks charlos is boring #when im like “what's the plot? ok I'm intrigued”

[egberts]

terfs are sending me unhinged lies under the guise of being confused polite anons and it's. so nefarious but so obvious lmfao

#its about shinigami eyes because of the terf drama the other day #jfc man #just go mind your business in your boring soul sucking hole of a life

[barawrah]

all i have to offer today is a tiny beel

#hands him over to u etc #i realised i never make fanart thats not other peoples ocs #like even hq fanarts that ive drawn just feel like a glitch idk how they happened #n that just sucks bc i actually like a lot of stuff n a lot of characters r rly cute #but if its not my ocs i just cannot commit #but thats also understandable really because fandoms creep me out n i dont like getting deep into them #ill just enjoy cute little characters n keep away from the drama u know #speaking like someone who commits to their oc art and doesnt get bored one hour into a drawing #how do people constantly make finished art what r they feeding u guys #ok im done #art tag #obey me! #beel

That Awful OTP Meme, or: my Binah/Hod manifesto

I originally posted this on twitter but while this is mostly tongue-in-cheek I actually have a lot of thoughts on these two that are generally summarized by [god DAMN I love the interplay of two people who are varying degrees of Terrible]

or just, like, a Hannigram meme.

#fennelart #project moon #binah/hod #lobotomy corporation #lobotomy corporation spoilers #the thing is that binah has never had regrets. binah has never had the time or desire to let herself have regrets #hod on the other hand is Full of them. she is someone who is trying very hard to be a good person #but is going at it from an entirely selfish direction (circa lobcorp) and just ends up completely sucking anyway #which is honestly part of her appeal to me? #i like the idea of them picking each other apart which is a thing that is extremely one sided at first because. it’s Binah #but even binah is still human albeit an extremely fucked up one and I think if hod manages to poke her head out of her own issues she could #start to see where the lines are #also she (binah) is locked in a basement and bored as shit and will take anything remotely interesting at this point #hence where I put her on the devoted scale versus indifferent #could you call it romance? #it’s not healthy in the slightest but no ship with binah involved is lmao #anyway this whole essay in the tags is mostly to say I’m proud of myself for the black damage joke lmao #periodic black damage and a -50% debuff to your stats. its the give and take you know how it is #shoutouts to the person writing binah/hod in the ao3 tag like two years ago you thoroughly infected my brain
