While venturing an ancient gem temple, they stumbled upon a modified light that can corrupt humans! Connie was able to fully move Steven out of the beam's range by pushing him off the stairs.

Textpost redraw that only works in a modern setting, so. I gave them silly outfits (and a little bit of lore!)

Some zoom ins on the illusts!

And Lore

Moe is like. A SHUT-IN shut-in. So in any modern setting that isn't "Hey wanna visit my hometown for a sec (events so far have followed canon at least loosely)", it would have to meet Alfonse under Extremely Specific Circumstances.

And finally! Textpost under cut!

#fire emblem #feh #I PUT. SO MUCH LOVE INTO THIS ACTUALLY IT'S INSANE. ESP FOR A TEXTPOST REDRAW LMFAOOO #the vision was so clear to me though. the vibe of the post (struggling). a catastrophic fall from grace. #the idea of alfonse venting about almost losing a social interaction. a performance slipping. #a setting where he isn't performing at all now. there is nothing to perform here bc moe. well. #also the visual. i am imagining a very specific nostalgic shitass swingset in my mind. #one that doesn't exist anymore actually bc they rebuilt it (probably for the best.) but that thing #would leave rust on your hands and arms and leave your ass blue. it sucked but it was awesome #the rust marks don't show up as clearly here unfortunately LMFAO so i had to point em out. #ALSO. I AM ACTUALLY SO INSANE ABOUT THEIR OUTFITS ACTUALLY. bc BOTH of them are hiding #alfonse is trying to blend in. pass as normal. moe is trying to distract you. but also desperately trying to communicate Something. #like do you wanna be seen or not little buddy (the answer is Yes.) #back to alfonse like if not 'normal' then at least 'put together'. will suffice. i think he's also beginning to loosen up here too tho #like. so at the beginning of it that he isn't Really LMFAOO but. he painted his nails black. just to try it. #it was also so fun to freehand the patterns... camo and argyle (the socks) (hardly noticeable but that's the intent!) #'beginning to loosen up' actually i think he's just starting to fall apart. #fe alfonse #moe tag #summoner oc #my art #my comics

[whentherewerebicycles]

a bunch of people have already registered for my mentoring workshop! unfortunately this means i have to plan and host a workshop aaaaaa

#i want to think aloud through it on here at some point #but i think i am going to structure it around the theme of cultivating student autonomy #because i think one of the primary goals of mentorship is to prepare students to be self-directed learners who can set realistic goals + #evaluate their own progress + reflect on what they've learned and what they still don't know #+ take initiative without sitting around waiting for someone to tell them what to do next #so i think we will do some thinking around like #when we have a student we think of as really capable or driven what qualities and behaviors do we observe in that student #and maybe ill also share some of the research on intrinsic motivation + self-direction + locus of control #which i think is all really interesting esp in light of the contemporary College Mental Health Crisis concerns #and then we will look at a range of tools + structures + strategies that i think are useful for fostering student autonomy over time #and maybe leave them with some core principles/guiding values that i think are useful when you are trying to like #avoid jumping in and doing stuff for kids #or solving their problems for them #idk i need to think through specifics a bit more #but i feel like on this campus #people do a lot of 'workshops' that are really not interactive at all #it's just someone talking from slides #and i kind of want to show off my ability to structure more engaging workshops #but idk. gotta think about how to do it well #and how to build in lots of opportunities for like crowdsourcing strategies too

I love when I get a little sad about something personal and then instead of looking at something else to cheer myself up I just, start looking at heart-breaking shit that confirms my personal worst-case scenario and worrying myself to death over what if it happens. instead.

#my ass literally overanalyzing the media I've come in contact with the last couple of months wondering “is this foreshadowing” #“is this foreshadowing for my actual life” “did I accidentally 'manifest' this” “was it DOOMD from the very start” as if that's how #anything works ever. idk it feels like fate has arranged this horrible horrible thing I can't do anything to stop bc I keep being in contac #with stories where *these characters* are powerless to stop it and you know what's worse. I don't even believe in fate. that fact actually #makes up a significant percentage of my personality lmao. which is even worse because then it just feels like “oh god is a fateful force #trying to teach me about the importance of fate.“ of course ultimately none of this shit is real and the specific situation I'm worried abt #shows no indications that it's gonna get any worse than it currently is. anything else is the fantasies of my overactive overanxious brain. #that being said. I'm sad. :( I don't want “fate” to be setting me up. I actually don't want “fate” to exist at all. this is getting to me #like for fucking real I'll be looking at a movie with a story and go this story is just like The Situation. look the characters act the sam #they use the same sentences with similar phrasing. and *their* story ended in a quite bittersweet manner. does that say something about #MY situation and the truth is no it obviously fucking doesn't. will someone say this to my brain please. it's hell in here #julian.txt #vent

Still thinking about the anon from yesterday and the more i think about it the more mad i get like you're insane for calling kaeya mid i hope you blow up. Bitching in the tags ft arguments my smart sexy boyfriend brought up yesterday while we were talking about this so credit where credit is due

#🗨️ #LIKE. #kaeya-diluc brotherly issues are interesting because kaeya is by far the most interesting character in the game sorry #like. genuinely i wanna know what they meant by the two of them having a “trope that's been handled better by other media” #because their deal is not just ougj brothers fighting #it's specifically about kaeya being adopted and about his conflict with belonging to a nation and a community and a family #and his loyalty to his duty and his birth family vs his loyalty to the city and family who took him #the only thing i could think of that has handled similar themes better is the untamed but that's literally a show based on a novel #so i feel like comparing them is a bit unfair #like ofc i know there's sibling drama out there 🙄 but that's not why kaeya brotherly issues are interesting #there's his dynamic with diluc his dynamic with crepus AND diluc's dynamic with crepus too #other than kaeya' #s whole thing with his birth father #idk. kaeya haters need to die a thousand deaths #i am Not articulate enough rn I'm still dying from back pain but you get me. you agree. if you don't you can fall over snd exlode #like there's a specific power dynamic at play in regards to the adopted child survivor of a fallen nation being rejected for that fact by #his adopted brother. on the night of their father's death. like yes i know diluc is stupid yes i know they still love each other as brother #even if their relationship is tense i know it's set up for eventual reconciliation #but just kaeya's whole deal IS about family. in general. #a bunch of characters' deals are about family in general like i could start listing them and it wouldn't end it's just like kaeyaaaaa #kaeya. is the guy of all time

General Beckman had informed Emma she'd be partnered with Detective Michaels for this case, possibly long-term if it may help her department prove their suspect of corruption among several police departments and politicians. Of course the general hadn't given her any information that wasn't strictly pertinent to the mission, except for hinting that the man himself could be used to investigate locations in which her face was by this point well-known, and she could walk among cops just as easily with the connections she had formed working as a bailsbond woman. Of course that also depended on how well their newly formed team would work, and Emma had brought hot chocolates for both while he looked at the documents she had gotten; she had beaten some out of people, flirted the others, but she was glad to leave the detecting to him, well aware that she tended to get a little obsessive with what her friends called her murder-boards. "Here, take a break," she offered him a cup, "We should discuss what we want our... general cover to be anyway. We should know stuff about each other if we want to sell that we have decided to work together for a bit."

#I hope it's okay! I did read his page (HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME YOU HAD A PAGE) but I can't be certain of how you decided to #adapt it to the modern world even if it's just a couple of decades away. Still I figured that he'd be called to help a spy SPECIFICALLY #because he got basically framed for trying to expose a corrupted cop #but if anything is wrong let me know! #also I'm going by Chuck lore and stealing names from there. doesn't matter if you don't know the show it's just so I have a set of rules fo #how her department works #avictimofthejazz #v. modern emma #take a break

venting in tags about gender n shit (long as hell) (u can comment and talk 2 me as always :3)

#okay so i got a really masc haircut about a month ago and i know it's just a haircut but holy shit has it changed EVERYTHING for me #like.... i've always leaned masc except 1) before i came out 2) when i was actively in love with someone who i knew liked femmes #and they always described me as a fem. because that's what i showed her. because i wanted to be with her. #but lowkey whenever i'm in a not-impressing-anyone raw-dogging-life-no-crush era i always resort to a very masc style #like masc being my default and i'd only lean fem to impress people whether it's for love or peer pressure in a specific setting #like ''dressing up'' has always been a form of drag to me. like something i HAD to do to fit in or impress my parents (scott favor core) #but ever since this haircut i've realized... i could just BE masc innately like i really don't have to be womanly if i don't want to #which i usually don't. again i have only ever dressed fem for other people. but it's not even being masc that attracts me on its own #it's like. being masc in a distinctly lesbian way. as in whenever i look in the mirror i don't wanna be like a Guy i wanna be a dyke. #like lesbian as a gender identity too sort of thing honestly. okay i've been waffling but basically i sort of want to call myself butch #but i don't know if i like... can?? if i'm allowed to??? #everyone always says it's MORE than just wearing boy clothes and not wearing makeup and having short hair (which i already do all those) #i mean i've always id'd as genderqueer because it literally just means gender weird and i experience gender in a queer way #what's probably the most telling is that my friends (all queer) CALL me a butch lesbian #like every time they do i feel really internally validated. it's not just my clothes but my personality too ig is what people tell me #i have a higher pitched voice relatively speaking but apparently the way i talk is quote ''very clockably into women'' #which?? gender euphoria asf. my best friend specifically he (gay trans guy) always uses butch to describe me very intuitively #people have also noticed that i ''transitioned'' in all aspects except hormonally. like ppl have commented and noticed my masculinzation #but at the same time i always feel rly haunted by my ex relationships because one wanted me to be more masc #(she's the one who came out as straight and would treat me like a man) which i didn't like and i didn't like playing up being fem either #bc now it feels like she (butch) won't believe me if i called myself butch too bc she remembers me being femme #idk i feel like there's her voice in my head all the time that sees everything i do through her eyes (i'm lowkey still in love) #i feel like even though this comes so naturally to me i must be putting on a performance #even though i've actually read stone butch blues and done research into the history and i truly love and id with the culture like i rly do #that im still just a sad imitation of a butch lesbian and can never really be a part of it because i used to enjoy dressing up sometimes #like it's so stupid but can i still be butch if i wore a dress to prom and i think i looked good in it?? #even though i was envious of my friends who wore suits?? that i used to try goth makeup?? that i liked long dresses?? #that i enjoyed stacked necklaces and rings on every finger??? #and tbh ALL OF THAT CAME FROM A CONCIOUS EFFORT TO FEMINIZE MYSELF IN JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL WHEN I WAS 16 #because omfg it was 2 months before junior prom and i was worried that i was too masc and wanted to get comfortable with being fem

[icewindandboringhorror]

I have a big google doc thing where I keep track of media and stuff (putting everything in loosely ranked categories), which is mostly just for my own reference so I know what tv shows I've already seen before, etc. and I never really look back through it, typically just a quick "okay, watched two movie in the past 8 months, need to quickly slap them somewhere in the lists. okay. done. save document. exit". But today I was actually reading through some of the old notes and there are like... MULTIPLE places where my comment is basically "It would have been good if it were about elves" or "I wish there was a fantasy show made in this same style" or "It's well made, but I just keep thinking about how I would like it more if everyone was an elf or was in old 1700s costumes" or etc like...... lol.... Most biased media ranking system on earth blatantly made by someone with an extremely hyperspecific range of narrow interests. It'd be like if a food reviewer only had 5 foods they actually liked, so they'd just go to a pizza place and be like "eh, the pizza was okay, but I just think it would be better if it was cereal instead. :/ ...2 out of 10"

#Which.. I mean... I am allowed to be biased because literally it's just for my own personal reference (or occasionall #y to send to friends or something if we're discussing the topic) so like.. nowhere am I saying 'I am the god of perfect taste and these #rankings are objectively the absolute truth and everyone should have my same opinion' or anything #BUT still.. it's funny to me sometimes #'Succession would be 100x better if it had the same cast/character quirks and shaky camera style and #acting choices/weird dialogue and general concept etc. EXCEPT it takes place within an elven noble family or something #managing the family business and everyone is in fantasy costumes now'' like.....okay...... but it's NOT that way..soo... thats not the show #''I like the acting style/general tone of Fleabag but i don't care for any of the characters or any of the subject matter and I wish it was #set in the 1800s and had vampires and was about magic instead'' okay..... again... you are making up an entirely new show in that case lol #OR my other beloved typical complaint ''The concept is good but theres too much plot and action and not enough people just sitting #around doing nothing and exposition dumping world and character lore'' ''this needs more goofy sideplots and filler episodes'' #''this Drama was too dramatic I think it should be more lighthearted & people need to sit around doing nothing just being weird more often' #''the Action Movie was ok except for the action scenes - which I skipped through all of- but I liked the costumes and worldbuilding'' etc. #ERM sorry your plot has too much plot. also elves have to be included somehow. bye #BUT SERIOUSLY!!!!!! I literally genuinely believe that any show I like (or even dislike) could ALWAYS be improved greatly by #putting people in fantasy or historical costume/setting/etc... why the FUNK would I want to see bland jeans and cars and cell phones #when I could see elaborate velvet cloaks and fantastical landscapes and interior design and innovative takes on historical or #magical technology or etc. etc. etc. I LIVE in the modern day. I see it all the time!!! BORING! stinky!! boo!!! #ANYWAY... another social divide for me.. People love to bond by discussing media. which is hard when I'm like #'I literally will not watch something at all unless it fits into one of these 10 extremely specific categories which are all i care about i #the entire world''.. I say this and yet I still dislike most fantasy or historical things I've watched lol. ok TWO main criteria then!! #it must 1. be in a different world or time period. 2. be goofy silly. Nothing ever has BOTH. It's always overly serious boring drama action #fantasy/history stuff OR it's comedic lighthearted but with modern day characters... WHY.. anguish and woe and so on.. #ANYWAY jhjnk... at least I can make that divide. Some people seem to project their own personal preferences and get really emotionally #defensive if you say you didn't like something - as if the fact that they DO like it is some Objective Truth or something rather than just #opinion/preference based. I can still easily say ''this is well made/well written/acted/good in a technical sense/has a lot of #points of appeal that most people would be drawn to/etc'' and admit that it's a GOOD show probably. I just PERSONALLY think its #bad because my tastes are very narrow. Some things ARE actually made badly but. things are not bad INHERENTLY just bc they dont suit ME lol #Better to recognize/accept whats odd about you and be peacefully aware of it than just being mad at everyone all the time for not fully #agreeing with you even when you're the one with the Weird opinion in that case lol.. I am right though :3 but.. lol... still. i get it

[girlscience]

the RAMPANT consumerism on the section of youtube I have ended up on recently is actually kind of disgusting to me. if I see one more video of a perfectly manicured hand with a hint of a sweater sleeve putting things in a target cart or using 100 bottles for a skin and hair self-care day or using 50 different cleaning products in an enormous, pristine, white home while a random pop song remix plays in the background I'm going to start destroying things.

#I know exactly how I got here #there is a specific crossover of decluttering/production hacks/workout plans/minimalism/motivational videos that leads directly #to very wealthy stay-at-home women doing sunday resets and target hauls and restocking and organizing the guest bedroom #and 4 hour pre-vacation self-care videos #but it is so BAD. I am not saying don't buy things or take care of yourself or anything like that #I literally have mentioned several times in the past two weeks that I was waiting on packages in the mail! #but GOD. the difference between buying a set of dvds I'm going to use until they fall apart #and literally having 4 bookcases of skin care products is ASTRONOMICAL #I cannot imagine a single reason anyone would ever need that much stuff #and it's All so sanitized and perfected and nothing can be out of place and it's just awful #that girl aesthetic/it girl/clean girl aesthetic/etc etc #and every single woman in these videos is perfectly shaped and tanned and hair done up #and they all wear these matching set workout fits #just oh my god girl!!!!!! what are you doing????!!!!!?? #I don't know. I don't know that there's a point to this besides me complaining and being upset #but it's just so antithetical to the way I want to live and I know it's so bad for the environment #and I know it is encouraging so many people to look and act just like that #and I hate it!!!! it feels like we are never getting out sometimes for real #maybe I'm being mean. maybe they are actually very conscientious of the environment #and maybe they are only showing a once a month shopping trip #and maybe they have just been sent a ton of PR packages that they have to figure out how to store #but. it really doesn't feel or look that way

[daisywords]

they are being very nice and also rational (just explain everything rather than guess what I do and don't know—makes sense!) but I wish my coworkers would give me the benefit of the doubt sometimes instead of assuming that I am just a little baby randomly pressing keys when I do something "wrong"

#like! for example! #I fixed an ellipses added two nonbreaking spaces between the three dots like I was Literally Trained To Do at a previous job #and then he's like. ''oops looks like a couple of these spaces were nonbreaking spaces which we shouldn't use. #''there's a feature you can turn on in word that will show you what kind of break/spaces the document has! you can google it #but lmk if you need help setting up!'' #Hey. hey. I do in fact know how to click the little paragraph symbol I wasn't born yesterday. #You can just tell me Hey for future we don't use nonbreaking spaces at all even in ellipses #and I woulda been like 'cool' bc I know how to differentiate #which would be a logical conclusion to draw from the fact that I put them specifically in the ellipses and nowhere else

[bisexualchrissycunningham]

So not only did Noah post that video today, but Br*tt tweeted something stupid that could be framed as "moderate" or whatever ("zionism doesn't mean that you are for the deaths of innocent Palestinians").

Netflix is SO scared of all the boycott threats that they're ordering the cast to make themselves more palatable to people who don't like genocide.

Which means all of it is WORKING. The threat to their bottom line is what they fear most. Keep it up, pals!

#tbh when it comes to the show specifically i mostly just worry about how distressing it might be for people to be stuck on set for months #with unhinged zealots who might spend their time trying to convert others #that's not a safe atmosphere #and a few of them (david harbour specifically) don't seem like they'd put up with it for long

[morningmask27]

I do sometimes find it really annoying that most of the things I do right now are At Least tangentially related to a trauma I lived through.

I am living in a university dorm right now, it's a very typical thing to do, but most people return to their family home during the weekends and only really stay in the dorms because they have classes in the week and having to go from their home to the classes, especially the 9 am classes, can be heavy if they live somewhat further away. I stay in my dorm the entire week. For Reasons I don't want to go back to my old home for longer than half a day to drop my laundry and leave with clean clothes, some food and a chat with my mother. I wouldn't feel good doing so anymore, but mentioning that is weird because most people (except internationals because going to a full on other country just for the weekend, every weekend, would be a bit dumb) return to their home (My dorm feels more like home to me right now than my old house did btw).

When I say I stay in my dorm people are somewhat confused, as it on its own already implies that something must not be that good at the familial home for me to not go there for the weekends. By the simple fact I don't go back it's already implied there is something wrong, and it's true, there Is something wrong, but I can't just start explaining the whole thing, it's not really appropriate for most conversations, and I simply don't want to open up about this part of my traumas. So I just have to quickly and very blatantly brush off that fact and the unpleasant implications to continue the conversation without making it awkward and it's so annoying.

Most of my weird trauma responses at least have the added thing that if I don't verbalize them nobody will really notice. I am good at hiding them, I kinda had to, but this dorm situation is such a blatant sign of something Weird (and not the good kind) that I cannot hide since my actions on their own imply a situation already.

I am somewhat good at dealing with all of these issues, brushing off The Problems is a typical part of normal conversations, but it does get frustrating sometimes when I get severely affected by something traumatic, and it's The Only reason that my problem happened, but I cannot talk about it in casual conversations because of how heavy and intense it is. I have to vaguely mention The Horrors (They Are Complex) and move on before I make my conversation partner uncomfortable. It happened when I had to miss a class because of a severe relapse in my mental health, it happens every time I mention I stay in my dorm the weekends, it happens whenever I get too jittery and weird because of stress (I don't even always know Why I am stressed) and I just cannot explain anything about the cause because it's too heavy for most people to hear. (I do understand that fact, it makes sense you're not going to tell classmates casually about the horrific stuff you went through in your personal life, but it fucking gets annoying when it is fully related to a situation and I have to Shut The Fuck Up anyway.)

It's just frustrating to me that I have to deal with all these Weird Things because of trauma, and everyone sees them, but I cannot explain where they come from truthfully because of how much they are. It's in this weird middle state where people See I am weird hurt, but they don't Know why. I do things differently for reasons they can assume are unpleasant, but I cannot ever truly explain everything to them.

#morningcries #yeah late night frustrations as I just thing about all my friends and such going back to their homes and the occasional somewhat awkward #Lull in a conversation whenever I say I don't return to my kot (so Every time I say that) #Honestly having such a shit childhood really set me apart.

[asterchats]

there is not a comparable media consumption level for ppl living in the us consuming media about other countries. It is not "oh you watched 2 american tv shows and now you think you know everything" it's everything is american unless specified otherwise. you do not have that point of comparison it does not exist for you. we (external non-US people) don't have a perfect idea of living in the us but our grounds for thinking we have SOME idea is not the same as you saying "oh i know everything about japan" because you watch anime. Anime is a single category of media explicitly related to japan which you watch when engaging with japanese culture.

all media i access is american unless explicitly specified otherwise.

do you see the difference

#reddit americans are all angry strange people anyway but like. #the whole 'ohhhhhhh you think you knowwwwwwww ussssssss' no but i think i have a better idea than what you're affording me bc you're using #your familiarity with england or australia or japan or whatever as your bar #i don't think i know anything really abt england or japan or whatever #and i don't think you do either #but all media i access is USAmerican unless explicitly specified otherwise #do you understand #like if everything you ever watched was australian set in australia with australian actors to the point #you can't hear australian accents on film bc you expect them so badly #and then you occasionally watched 1 or 2 america-specific shows which were just as good but not far-spread #and then you went 'yeah australian culture around (x) is different than it is here' and australian people went #YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT AUSTRALIA AND IT'S A BIG COUNTRY.
