[spocks-kaathyra]

"ur repressed" okay well have u even considered that emotions r purposeless and only serve to cause harm to those around u and I have achieved a unique transcendent state beyond them. have u considered that

#joking but like. am I wrong though #yeah no one is able to overcome the inherent human flaw of emotion and anyone who thinks they can is in fact mentally unwell #except for me I'm built different I have actually managed to transcend emotion. this is a good thing and not a problem #I saw my father's anger and my mother's discontent and my brother's self loathing and my friend's yearning. #and I saw how it only made everyone more unhappy. and I decided I would be above them all and never let my emotions rule me. #I was scared of the dark until I realized that fear wasn't useful to feel. so I stopped feeling it #this is a good thing and I am a paragon of mental health I think #mmm alternatively I was made to play mediator in a family of traumatized ppl and learned to repress my emotions to the point of dysfunction #but I prefer to think I'm enlightened and have no problems. this is fine and will not blow up in my face #anyways. just now realizing that this might stem from my childhood. oops #also realizing that I'm probably not aro and I just learned to turn off romantic attraction bc I saw how miserable it made my friend?? #well. I still don't experience romantic attraction. but probably I should and I will if I ever sort out this repression thing. whoopsie #really she was ready to kill herself over some white guy and I looked at that and was like. nope. I'm never stooping to that level #mm might not help that my parents never loved each other and I never had a healthy romantic relationship modeled for me as a child #but still like really like what is the point. of having emotions. they're just not useful #oh hurr durr I'm angry at my friends for talking over a tv show. there is no way to act on this without damaging ppl and relationships #ohh I'm in love with this guy who will never love me back. THERE IS NO PRODUCTIVE WAY TO ACT ON THIS #literally emotions can only be destructive and I'm a better person for opting out of them #there are no downsides to being repressed! I can still feel positive emotions. I'm happy sometimes. sometimes I'm excited. it's fine #guy who is Unpacking Things live on ur dash. sorry #narcissus's echoes #vent

hey, hold up, hang on

I was doing some random wiki research about Midnight, and I came across this???? apparently there were bonus info videos released with The Last Hope's ebook?

look, this is decade old info, and maybe everyone already knows and stopped caring years ago but like??? I don't think I knew this?? this is news to me!!!

time stamp 1:00 - 2:10

Midnight was supposed to be the twist villain for OotS?? are u kidding me so much of why I remember the last Hope being anticlimactic is because nothing interesting happened, the bad ghosts had been saying "we're going to do a big attack" for books and books, and then they just did that big attack exactly as we had been told and it was the same as any other Big Battle scene and there wasn't really any more interest to the plot. This kind of plot twist might have actually added something interesting to that book!

And Vicky makes it sound like she had this plan for a long time? it was even going to tie back to Midnight secretly having a hand in the badger attack in arc 2?

THIS!? This is why she told Sol that info about the eclipse?? and then never explained why??? Like!!!! is this why Sol was Like That!?? a guy set up to be a big mysterious deal, but then he didn't really do anything and just fizzled out of existence??? because he was conceived of for an idea that was scrapped before going anywhere, but he was already sort of part of a (presumably already started) plot mid PoT so it was too late to cut him 'cause they still needed SOME minor antagonist there to fill pages, right? .... but he had no where to go and no (good) reason to do anything, no ending, since HIS BOSS, his Motive, suddenly stopped existing as a concept??? bro??? no wonder his random tie to SkyClan felt so unfitting as a reasoning for this kind of villain

Erica!! Erica wtf!! I don't care if it felt absurd, absurd is better then underwhelming! so what if Midnight was nice and helpful to some cats, maybe she has complex feelings about certain clan cats despite still secretly wishing to unleash chaos on the society as a whole for personal reasons, heaven forbid there be a complicated villain :'(

anyway I am going to be thinking about this lost timeline forever.

#warrior cats #warrior cats midnight #wc midnight #this is a joke. sort of. I mean I dont know erica sussman or the full situation #i mean erica was also very wrong about brambleclaw though. #but i also have no idea HOW exactly Vicky pitched this reveal to her editor #maybe the way she wanted to do it was executed in such an unbelievable way that it felt like the best call to be like 'no' #but CONCEPTUALLY? #I am having SO MANY IDEAS about how Midnight could have potentially been used as a surprise villain!! screaming! #the way that i am having Thoughts about incorporating this into my fanfic rn #yarrow speaks #Youtube

"are people not into that?" i ask, after posting my weird niche shit to the internet, despite knowing it to be weird niche shit.

#jsyk sylkius or anything adjacent to it does not “Do Numbers” in any way and i observed this some time ago #i assume that's the “rival ships” element at work but who knows really #that sort of thing is like femslash in that everyone approves of it but nobody actually reads or writes it #but who would have thought sylvie beating loki with a stick would not bring in droves of readers???! shocking twist there! #& i don't consider sifki a rarepair but my rarepair standards are VERY strict like if there's >5 fics a pairing is basically mainstream #chasing popularity would annoy me though & i just don't have the mental spoons to try writing stuff i wouldn't personally read #yeah i *could* put my blorbos to work in a coffee shop but what cost to my own enjoyment levels? AT WHAT COST FANGELA??? #you can't please everyone so you may as well just please yourself and if anyone else likes it you've found some fellow freaks so yay #i don't mean please yourself in a wanking sense. though feel free to do that too it probably counts as a cardio workout idk. #BUT ANYWAY #fic related #ps i am v glad there's the “warning: loki” tag because i think/hope it acts as a filter for 'he did nothing wrong in his life ever' types #who are Valid & etc obviously but i write my morally grey characters to be morally grey and the tag might help avoid conflict #though tbh i write almost every character to be morally grey in some way so i can't claim to have left my comfort zone here #(i'm not joking when i say the 1987-89 run of Dr Who shaped my entire future fannish life from a young and apparently v impressionable age)

Roxas: Had the Halloween town kids throw bombs in his face for multiple missions in a row before finally breaking down and smacking them around a bit.

Ventus: The dwarves were rude and refused to talk to him, immediately resorted to chasing them down and whacking them.

Characterization I see frequently: Ah, yes, Roxas is the one always willing to throw hands and Ventus is a smol sunshine boy.

#kh #kingdom hearts #these are really silly examples but the point stands! #in fact I think it expands when you look at their full screen-time #I am once again begging people to watch a full let's play of Days #don't get me wrong Ventus IS brightness and sunshine #but he also has the energy of a chihuahua ready to fight the world and I will stand by that #where as Roxas will tend to just try to avoid it until he Very Much Can't #now I think Roxas does BITTERNESS better than Ventus or Sora #but bitterness is not temper #in fact bitterness is usually negative emotions left on the backburner until the resentment caves in on itself #I suppose this is up to interpretation but from my reading... #a lot of times Ventus seems to burn out his anger then let it go #whereas Roxas doesn't do anything with the emotions until he/the situation self-destructs catastrophically so it ends up being nastier #but on the day-to-day? #yeah no Ventus is going to be the one reacting first #you can also exchange Sora for Ventus for some of these arguments #though I think he lands somewhere between Ventus and Roxas for short-temperedness #all this is more complicated than this reductive commentary of course #you have to take in how and in what orders the characters were introduced and marketed #the difficulty of getting the handheld games historically and the biases that set in before they were easily accessed #not to mention stock archetypes for fandom joke set-ups that then perpetuate the characterization... #like there's a LOT to how this came to be #but it Gets To Me sometimes #yza talks about a thing

#feel like my relationship with my younger brother is changed completely forever not to be dramatic lol but i am sad #we used to b very close but he has kind of. found his faith again and gone full missionary christian which like. i knew meant the dynamic #was doomed lmao but actually acknowledging it makes me sad i feel like i'm grieving for the friendship we used to have even though #it is literally a me problem i think from his perspective he doesn't think anything has changed. but i feel weird about everything #also his new gf is nineteen and he is. almost 25 and i am the only one who feels weird about it like i know she's over 18 but! idk i can't #tell if i'm being overly cautious or if my gut instinct is right. my sister & her husband have a similar age gap but they met when they wer #both over 30 so like. it didn't feel weird. and i didn't feel comfortable actually seriously talking to him about it apart from the first #time he mentioned her over facetime (he went to another country to do mission stuff & met her there) so like an idiot i've just been #making jokes about the age gap becausee like. thats always been our thing lightly bullying each other lol but he blew up at me and said #i've had nothing positive to say about her since he's been back home and that he thinks i hate her and i'm out of line for constantly #implying he's creepy for dating someone younger. idk i felt like such a freak idiot horrible person about it. it completely blindsided me #bc yes the jokes were coming from a place of idk how i feel about this situation so i'm going to rely on the humour-based communication #we have always fallen back on as a safety thing but i guess i was wrong or the dynamic shifted or something anyway it's all fucked #& everyone is just telling me i feel weird out of some?? misplaced kind of jealousy thing?? because i'm 'losing' my brother to his gf lol #which does not feel right at all he has dated so many other girls and i have never had a problem it is literally the age gap like i haven't #even met this girl i'm sure she's very nice! i just worry about her being nineteen!! jesus. and yes maybe i do feel some resentment around #a brother younger than me who seems to be able to live his life with zero difficulty whilst i'm stuck being this unemployed loser who ruins #literally ever friendship & relationship ive ever had but i think thats ok right like i can't help feeling that. i don't fucking knowwww #am i just projecting all these sad feelings about our friendship dying onto his new relationship or like. am i right to be genuinely #concerned she's six years younger than him and still a fucking teenager!!!!!! i don't know

so has anyone talking about this yet, or... cuz it was in that latest news video on the amazing digital circus. and uh... i took a screenshot of it.

#the amazing digital circus #does this mean something? does it mean nothing? does it just look cool? we'll find out eventually... just not today :3 #keep in mind i am also very sleepy today specifically #i had to make sure i recorded a show for me mother and there's been. SO MUCH STUFF TODAY. WHAT. #so it has been an exhaustingly exciting day for me in particular #i feel like this might turn out to be a recording of a character's voice opposed to THIS being an actual character #i might be wrong though. i'm always willing to admit i'm wrong #anyway it's too soon to really say anything! so for now let's wait patiently and hang out! :D #also caine was weirdly adorable in that video what the hell #OH MY GOD.

P3 spoilers below!

When I first played p3 I knew something was up with Ikutsuki the second he pulled up with an elementary school child like “hey guys let’s have this kid fight with us against horrible awful creatures that are incredibly dangerous!! ☺️” bc genuinely WHAT the hell is going through your mind to think that’s an acceptable thing to do 😭😭

#I love SEES but lowkey they were a little too chill abt that bc what…😭😭 #how were none of them not like hey Ikutsuki what the FUCK is wrong w you actually #obviously I know they were all put off by it but they came to terms with it wayyy quickly #me personally I would not let that slide like get this poor child outta here bro 😭😭 #persona 3 #persona 3 reload #p3 #ken amada #shuji ikutsuki #Ikutsuki is kind of funny as hell though if you ignore the whole like…experimenting on orphaned children thing #😧 #GODDD HES SO CRAZY 😭 SOMETIMES I FORGET #AND THEN I START THINKING ABT IT AND AM LIKE OH…MY GOD?? #I do NOT like Ikutsuki but he was funny sometimes okay #I enjoyed his stupid little jokes I admit #then he had to go and be generally awful 🙄🙄🙄 urgh

so sorry but it does throw me off when i see cas calling dean "baby"

#or babe. other pet names are eh but #i think he calls dean babe ONCE and dean is like excuse me what the fuck did you just say to me #it sounds wrong #and i think cas just does it bc he thinks that's how you're supposed to refer to the love of your life #i think he calls dean ''my love'' i think he says it in the same tone as ''you can't save everyone my friend'' #i also think he says it in multiple languages #BUT also. just ''dean'' #it's in the way he says it like nothing else could better express his love #DEAN calls cas babe though #not baby because that is the car and that's a hard boundary that cas set #dean you will not refer to me the same way you do your car #also at the beginning he was disgruntled. dean i am not an infant #but then it clicked that it wasn't another baby in a trenchcoat incident #dean also calls him lots of pet names that start off as jokes and stick :) #''good morning sunshine'' -> just sunshine as a pet name #angel as a joke that turns into something reverent and serious #honey when he's joking about being old men but maybe he WANTS to be an old man with cas #SWEETHEART. sweetheart is cute and cheesy and one of cas' favorites #also buddy (you are the love of my life) pal (please never leave me again) and man (you mean everything to me)

why is so much of sewing just tracing and cutting and tracing again q_q i see why people get projectors and use adobe illustrator now

#drawing up a design that i can easily pattern from my sloper: 😊 #actually having to make the pattern by tracing and cutting ad infinitum: 😰 #piecing together printer paper to get a big enough sheet of paper and doing this ten million times: 🥲😭 #not to mention the IRONING.... prewashing the fabric and having to iron 8 yards of fabric???? excuse me???? #and then distorting it as i iron bc it has a slight stretch and i got so tired i stopped being careful 2 yards in #and the way that you're supposed to press every seam... excuse me... am i just supposed to have my iron heated and on standby at all times #AND THE STEAM??? i just got stay tape the other day and thought it'd be a neat alternative to stay stitching #BUT IT NEEDS STEAM TO ACTIVATE (which okay makes sense) BUT long story short i'm too afraid to use the steam function #on my iron because none of us are sure if water should go back into a tank that's been in disuse for 30+ years #so instead i get this water spray pen and delicately spray down the length of each piece of stay tape #before i cover it with a piece of gauze and iron it. and then i have to iron it extra so all the water actually evaporates #oh and the spray pen holds as much water as half a pen so i have to walk to the kitchen every 10 sprays to refill it #and i have to do this for every curved edge on my pattern pieces #i mean the alternative is just stay stitching but then i would have to calibrate my settings for a single layer of fabric instead of double #which means i have to switch my needle out more and i'm still new enough that sometimes i install a needles wrong despite going through #all the same exact motions that i usually would. i'm LITERALLY suffering out here. anyway can't wait to sew or whatever #oh and did i mention i went to a sewing meetup recently? yeah... #everyone there bought like $30-$100/yard fabric and i was there awkwardly knowing i only buy like $12/yard fabric #honestly though i have the opposite problem people usually joke about. i find it So hard to find fabric i actually like #it needs to be the right fiber + right color + right pattern/texture + right weight + i have to know exactly what i'm going to make with it

Me when doing my environmental science homework, at every available opportunity:

#wish there were a class discord or a chill teacher so i could share it #fr though I'm like “oh we're talking about freshwater? hey did you know that agricultural runoff is causing accelerated eutrophication?” #and that a lot of the runoff is bc of erosion caused by the destruction of ecosystems and their vegetation that would've kept soil in place #and the runoff is mostly compromised of fertilizer and bacteria and pesticides from the agriculture and sediment from the eroded land #and that crop irrigation is so inefficient that literally 40% of irrigation water never reaches the crops #and don't even get me started on the FUCKING CORN SUBSIDIES #god those fucking corn subsidies #“hey boudicca what's the worst policy choice the us government made in the 1930s–40s?” #“was it American isolationism? maybe increased militarization? the garbage treatment of women and minorities?” #wrong! it was not stopping those fucking corn subsidies #(this is a joke obviously those other things were worse) #(I'm not actually saying this silly little agricultural practice was worse than Japanese internment don't worry) #but i AM saying that at some point they should've fucking phased out those goddamn corn subsidies #do you wanna know why California grows so much corn even though it's an incredibly water intensive crop and California is dry as shit? #I'll give you three guesses #anyway sorry for rambling my point is fuck industrial agriculture #agriculture #described

The problem with reading is that the moment I'm done reading something I get so cocky. I finish a good book, I'm like, "You know, I think I could get through Proust tomorrow." AS IF I WILL EVER GET THROUGH PROUST, TOMORROW OR OTHERWISE.

#need everyone to know i wrote out the end of this post and my brain was like 'idk man one day we will get through Proust on god' #and this is EXACTLY WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT #I DON'T EVEN FUCKING CARE TO GET THROUGH PROUST IT'S JUST LIKE SUCH A HIGH BAR #GOTTA STRIVE FOR THE HIGHEST RIGHT? WRONG. #megs is reading #even though megs should be GOING THE FUCK TO SLEEP #this is fully a joke cuz frankly i do not know a single thing about proust. like i gotta look up the name of the fucking book every time #i don't think anyone really does given no one ever SAYS IT they just say PROUST #anyway. i am going to sleep.

God the Marvel film rights debacle is the decision that haunts me the most of any of the bad decisions made by the big 2 companies ever. Both because I am one of the six people who think you can do something interesting with the Inhumans and everything about their X-Men 2: electric boogaloo push caused me psychic damage, but also because Marvel didn’t just fuck over the X-Men, they fucked over the Fantastic Four for the same reason. They canceled that book right before the terrible Fox movie came out and didn’t bring it back until they secured the film rights, pretty much the longest the F4 went without a series since 1961. Just, the fact they tried to push out two of their flagship teams purely over film rights, they could not be more transparent about using these comics as movie promotion instead of seeing it as a medium onto itself it’s so frustrating.

it's SO bizarre like genuinely one of the weirdest times in (recent) comic book history. i can't even like… follow the logic of wtf they were even TRYING to do??

like with most decisions, even the ones i absolutely despise, i can at least kinda see what they were going for, y'know? dc's past few years of constant reboots, for example: bane of my existence. dumb as fuck. but if you take a step back and look at it objectively, it's like. ok. i can see why someone would think that would be a good idea at the time. they were wrong, but i can see what they were going for

mid-to-late-2010s film rights meltdown marvel though?? i literally have no idea what the fuck they were even going for. it's not even a case of the cinematic/tv universe bleeding back into the comics because it had nothing to do with anything that was actually happening in the mcu & they were making changes for movies/shows that hadn't even (and in the inhumans movie's case, never would) come out

they really were just trying to use the comics as advertising for the mcu, and that is just… so insane???? what planet are you living on that you think a significant enough percentage of the mcu's viewership is coming from comic book readers to make something like that in any way successful????? 90% of mcu fans have never picked up a comic book in their life, and the ones who have are literally the only people you do not need to advertise to. they are already fans. why are you trying to advertise to the one group you've already got 100% locked down by fucking up the thing you locked them down WITH

and it's the same thing with fantastic four and the x-men?? what the fuck did they think they were accomplishing by trying to push the franchises they were actively trying to get the rights for out of the spotlight & make them less relevant & popular while they were, again, actively trying to get the rights for them.

like did they actually think the viewer base of the fox movies was… coming from people who actively followed the comics??? and not just people who liked original xmcu/f4 movies?? did they actually think pulling the current f4 book & holding their comics hostage would have some sort of noticeable effect on the movies' success??

it's so baffling. this is another thing i would love a whole true crime style docuseries diving into because just. what in the fuck

#ask #anonymous #long post #i'm sorry i cannot shut up tonight <3 #only half joking abt the docuseries bc wtf was actually going on in their heads #i could easily spiral into a pepe silvia conspiracy board about wtf was going on during this era #i didnt even know about the f4 thing ?? man they really were just doing whatever #i do have to say it was kinda funny for me specifically though #i remember so vividly tuning into the inhumans thing like halfway through #bc i was/am mainly a cap comics reader & this was all going on during the hydracap thing #which was actually blown way out of proportion by ppl who didnt read the comics #like dont get me wrong it wasn't... great. but people were out here acting like wwiii had just broken out over a mediocre twist #so i'd heard snippets of the angry buzz around IvX #& just assumed it was a similar situation of people being mad on the internet just to be mad on the internet #and hoo boy #me walking into that event was like that one scene from community. with all the fire and screaming and gnome #truly an unforgettable experience for all the wrong reasons lmao

[incorrectdeceptionquotes]

holy sh¡t a Deception fan in the year of our lord 2023?? how does it feel being in a fandom with 4 people in it bestie

Do not cite the deep magic to me, child... I was there when it was written!

#jokes aside #I remember when the fandom had a somewhat active 200+ fans that made fan content for the show #I was 18 when I started this blog #I'm 23 now and... wow #I made jokes about how it'll be five years and I won't be over this show... apparently I was not wrong lol #though now it's more of a fond nostalgia #I have fics I never finished #though I kinda wanna make little summary posts to just explain how those fics would've ended #in the summer of 2018 I wrote SO MUCH fanfic content because I didn't take summer courses my first year #tbh sometimes I wish I never even heard of the show but then I think of the good things it brought me #like the cool online friends I found #to discovering that I love to write and pulling me out of my first year depression #wow this got kinda sentimental #point is... #I am still kinda a fan #I make incorrect quotes now and then when I find something I think would work #I would love to see some sort of closure to the story #and tbh I still get excited by new fics #especially the Kaymeron ones #but I would love to talk more about it #if people were interested #deception

[napping-sapphic]

bold of you to assume said gf would let you tackle her

What if she's actually the one winning the fight?

Just imagine: you start a lil play fight play wrestle n try to tackle her, remembering only later that she's stronger than you n she pins you down n starts tickling til you admit defeat n asks for a kiss as a reward?

But ofc one wouldn't be enough n you'd end up with her giving you little kisses all over your face making you laugh bcuz it tickles while you're cuddling n she's still resting on top of you?

Totally not saying this bcuz I'd die n kill to do this, no matter if I'm the strong partner or the one that gets tackled

Phisical contact my only weakness🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰

-💫

Aha but you see i am fully aware i would lose the wrestling match😌 ya girl has Bone Problems™️ and an agenda to be crushed by a woman that i am in love with

Losing is like half of the fun for me lol

And while I have immense respect for your vision, as with fine wines I personally have a differing view that if someone tried to tickle me i would attack them with my full strength as that is absolutely NOT allowed with me

In summary:

Play wrestling✅✅✅

Ticking❌❌❌

#asks #idk if it sounded like joking or being coy but legitimately tickling is a BIG no go for me #absolutely not #though i still as always am fully vibing with the rest of your scenario #and i think most people are vibing with all of it lol #it’s a Very Good scenario top notch if i must say👌👌👌 #tbh hard to go wrong with a play wrestle scenario🤔 #💫
