"Are we still waiting for da-shixiong?" "We'll wait for him in Tianqi city."

"When did you start to think about these matters (politics)?" "I didn't bother with these matters before because firstly, I didn't like them. Secondly, da-shixiong was there. Da shixiong was a better strategist than I am. I was used to relying on him."

"Da Shixiong!" "Without you, we got bullied wherever we went."

"I did not forget, and will never forget."

found this fix-it fic on Lofter, the only acceptable ending for me (⁠｡⁠ﾉ⁠ω⁠＼⁠｡⁠)

#look i see people saying that they k-worded Tang Lian because #Tianqi arc would be over too quickly otherwise #and I'm joining them on that boat #its the only way to cope #but i managed to finish the show!! #the blood of youth #tang lian #!!! just look at lei wujie that puppy hugging his da shixiong

I want it back / I drag its dead weight forward.

#Better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #lan wangji #digital art #This was a style experimentation doodle that took on a life of its own. #In a way it is a great example of 'beautiful failure'. The original goal was to try a pure black and white contrast piece. #Which I very much failed at doing. Not quite ready for that! However what this turned into is something I like a lot! #Different but in a way that really pushed me as an artist. A little less simple; a little more proportional. #I was also recently thinking about LWJ's grieving that we only catch glimpses of. #LWJ grieved his first love for 13 years. His love that was never reciprocated. #He chose to dedicate his heart to that mourning and most painfully of all - he did so knowing there was no end to that grief. #Wei Wuxian comes back to life in MDZS but that is an exception. Not the expectation. #He was dead. Not missing. Not 'maybe in hiding'. He was dead and his spirit unreachable. #Jiang Cheng went forwards with denial but LWJ takes that grief on. He copes by continuing to carry the weight with him. #Let me be clear. Neither are healthy approaches. It is a way to cope but it does not mean that is healing or healthy. #Grief is loved transformed but it is also about endurance and letting go. Grief can change you. You can also change your grief. #It isn't a good or evil thing to experience. It is just an experience.

I firmly believe no gothamite believes in magic etc in their city and they explain away vampires and werewolves as Gotham Just Being Like That.

Someone from Gotham will see a child turn into a dog not 2 meters away from them and just go fucking metas

#ask #anon #tbf tho #are vampires and werewolves magic??? #i think its funnier if they see someone like doctor fate constantine or zantanna #doing full on magic #and still go nah #its their coping mechanism #only way to survive in Gotham #is to deny everything #bc gotham insurance doesn't cover the supernatural #so everyone just agrees #that car that turned into a bull #thats normal #and 100% covered by natural disasters insurance

Thinking about Lestat seeing Louis’s eating patterns as a waste of his gift/himself while Armand gives Louis food that he literally can not enjoy or digest just so he has something on his stomach

#if i had to give each of louis relationship a theme loustat would be shame and loumand would be enabling #which are both really bad ways of “helping” a partner with an ed #lestats shame and anger tactics only make louis more resentful and less likely to eat #while armand having the little drinks and exotic animals and the human food dont actually deal with louis problem head on- #cus at the end of the day louis is still not eating enough #and i think they really exemplifies both of their trauma and abandonment issues #both of them came up chronically food insecure #lestat was put into the role of provider at a very early age and stayed in that role until he died/was turned #so for him rejecting what lestat gives is like rejecting lestat cus he doesnt have anything else to make him “useful” #and lestats reaction to rejection is anger and control so he tries to shame and control louis into eating more/human #while armand has been abandoned by literally everyone he loves up till this point so for him its like #ok i can make people dtay if i give them what they want and what louis wants is to not feel bad about eating and so armand does that #but it still doesnt get to the root of the issue which is louis having poor coping mechanisms for his grief and other emotions #like either way you slice it. louis is not meeting his nutritional needs. he eats drinks from one guy eats a fox or some other small animal #when he should be having like two dudes at least #and then he has human food which according to anne rice makes vampires vomit up their whole stomach content so... #louis imma send you to my therapist shes great #interview with the vampire #iwtv #louis de pointe du lac #amc iwtv #lestat de lioncourt #ldpdl #iwtv 2022 #armand iwtv #armand #loumand #loustat #like armand gives louis food he cant eat just so he knows theres something in louis stomach even for a short while

2009 Italian Grand Prix - Jenson Button

#more gifs yaaaaa even tho i didnt even rly like this race overly tbh #also just miss having one of my main boys on the top step so this was made to cope #i think once in a fic i read jense's smile described as 'wolfish' and my god if that wasnt the most accurate description ever #like the way his grin curls to the one side specifically.....eeeeeeeeee so wolfish #im always astonished at just how badly colored the pressers are....theyre so desaturated and icky..... #like seriously ill be watching them like 'uhhh wait do i really find this guy attractive...?' and then i recolor and im like OH YEAH I DO #its just super unflattering and drab I HATE IT!! but its the only thing i actually enjoy coloring bcs everything else is just frustrating #jenson button #jb22 #we do a little bit of f1 #f1 #formula one #formula 1 #2009 italian gp

✨️MESMER PROPAGANDA!!✨️

Daily enrichment for Fedsy (On his way to flirt with and manipulate the workers of New Kaineng so they will let him try a sip of the tasty green liquid in the power plant core 😫)

#shitposting in my descriptions? ME? #i er. actually have no context for this whatsoever it is a redraw of an old scribble which took on a life of its own #he does this when he wants to change things up. in regards to how he feels #OR if someone like kynwyl is attending a fancy party and he feels like playing socially. #its the only way he copes with social situations or people he REALLY doesnt like or cant be bothered with. tiny social experiment lol #little shit IS a manipulator even if its 'justified' (directed at someone whos an ass) most of the time. it probably has consequences. #he does not care. #it was worth it 2 him #silvsart #oc:fedsy #gw2 #sylvari #gw2 art #i feel so cringe if i add more tags. i forgot what i used to do?? lol??

It's Angsting About Cole Hours again, folks. This is non-negotiable

Am I devastated that the moment they found Zane's face in the snow, confirming his death, Cole's first reaction was to comfort Nya? Am I suggesting that this reaction in some way relates to Cole's tendency to take on responsibility in times of crisis?

Am I also suggesting that there is a running trend of him taking on too much responsibility, getting overwhelmed, and then running away when he can't handle all the pressure anymore (first with his mother's death, and then with Zane's)? Am I suggesting that this might be why Cole broke off from the team after season 3 - he tried so hard to hold everyone together but it became too much and he fled? Like, with Cole commenting to Lloyd that he became a lumberjack because out in the woods no one expects anything from you? Because even if he's everyone's tough and solid foundation for emotional support, even the strongest of rocks break under enough pressure?

Psh, nonsense, this is just a silly lego show where nothing is ever painful and no one is ever traumatized. That's ridiculous.

#this is also how we know cole actually. like. went to therapy after nyas disappearance #any other time he takes on responsibility to cope he gets all serious and withdrawn #but in crystalized hes all silly and cracking jokes and being a lighthearted guy #which i supposed could be him trying to lighten the mood #but personally i think its just that cole finally went to therapy #that or getting closure about his mom in season 13 helped him figure out how to process his emotions in a healthy way #either way i think hes the only emotionally stable member of the team. king behavior. we love to see it #ninjago #cole brookstone #cole ninjago #ninjago cole #destiny post

cutting into tha function confidently declaring that i actually really like what vash's oedipus complex and status as a victim of incest adds to his character and the hoes are having me forcibly removed

#HES A VICTIM! HIS BROTHER IS ABUSIVE!! ITD MAKE SENSE FOR HIM TO DEVELOP AN OEDIPAL IDEA OF HIS DEAD MOTHER IN HIS ADULT YEARS!!! #ITS HIS WAY OF COPING BECAUSE SHE WAS A SAFE PERSON FOR HIM AND HIS ONLY OTHER FAMILY!!!!! #<- i scream this as i am being dragged out #this is not a 'knives is problematic and thats bad' post this is a 'knives is abusive and thats interesting' post

ive had to step away from all the analysis of the finale because thinking about it for too long it fills me with such a [rage? bitterness? frustration? all of the above?] the likes of which ive genuinely never felt for a show before

ive cared about media before. ive been disappointed by media before, but i think the difference is i haven't put my faith in media like i did ofmd- and the more time passes the more i feel fucking stupid for putting that faith in the show in the first place, when so many of the things coming to light now were already there

i cant think about it too long else it makes me so fucking sad, and im tired of analysing it to bits because its not going to change anything, theres no way to fix any of this, no way to find a spark of light in it, no way to come back, to resurrect the show i fucking loved.

im sure everything everyone is saying is well thought out and nuanced things but for the sake of my own enjoyment of this fucking show i have to just not engage with it anymore.

#the last post was the exception to this and its only bc that segment of the interview was directly on my feed #like im sorry if you followed me for my serious takes and now youre getting silly goofy dude #but not taking this media too seriously is the only way im coping rn #ikyk ive talked your ears off about my relationship with fucking show and the fandom in the past month but. but #nyxtalks #ofmd #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd critical #like. the serangela break up Sucks and i could yell about it forever #but in the end i dont think i really went in having faith that marvel wouldnt fuck it up #and thats the difference here for me #the faith i did put in. and the way i see how that i shouldnt have #ill still complain. but i dont have the energy to read them or try and write them in a way thats in any way fact checked or nuanced i just #i need to complain but i need to keep my love for this fucking show i. need to #again. ikyk. so. silly hours. ignoring s2 hours. making up that fictional man hours. i gotta #also please enjoy nyx tries to label an emotion and fails

another semi prominent twitter artist has weighed in on hazbin and i gotta say my least favorite hazbin take ever is "angel dust is the only salvageable character but i only like him when hes not saying swears and sex jokes" because its like. oh you mean the sex jokes he specifically uses as a litmus test for judgy assholes that you wouldve just failed?

#angel dust #hazbin hotel #very i support survivors but only those who cope in ways i like #people who hate swearing and sex jokes in media i will never make anything for you #i think the crits from the uwu types are the worst because this criticism boils down to #how DARE you depict a hypersexual and crass abuse survivor #noooo dont make the gay character make sex jokes we need to be pureeeee #people rly dont get his character which isnt surprising but its funny to see them pull the “baby please this isnt the real you” #baby please stop making popsicle dick jokes youre limiting how much i can view you as a perfect victim!!!
