#keep your mask on

[egophiliac]

oh, uh, this...this isn't Silver's backstory after all.

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #surprise! it's actually everyone else's backstory! #screaming. just screaming forever. #malenoa my new beloved #like. i kind of figured something had happened to malleus' parents because maleficia seems to be his only relative? #but i didn't know it was going to be a whole THING #hey silver did your shitbag ancestor kill malleus' mom #oh boy this is going to be super embarrassing for you #also i keep interpreting レヴァーン as raven and i kind of think that's not the intended meaning #it's probably supposed to be like. lavern or something? #however #it means i keep thinking of malleus' dad as raven. his cool raven dad who mysteriously disappeared 400 years ago. that guy. raven. #and slowly sliding my eyes towards the explicitly raven-themed character who literally has 'raven' written on his design #do you...do you think that... #it couldn't be. but do you think... #i swear to god if crowley takes off his mask and goes 'SON' i'm gonna #i don't even know what i'd do but crowley darth vader-ing malleus would be the twist of the fucking century #truly the funniest possible outcome. i kind of do actually want it to be true now #sorry mal turns your dad is an enormous dork and also the principal #bright side no one is going to be intimidated by you anymore

Second day at work I've forgotten to put my mask on immediately after removing it for lunch.

Bad ADHD, bad! We aren't out of this!

my take on the steeplechase trio (and montrose’s mask variants)

#my art #taz #taz steeplechase #since beef is an arm wrestler im kinda entertained by the idea that he keeps it casual from the waist down #but all of his shirts are branded beef punchley shirts #i like to think that all of montrose’s clothes are slightly too big for him because he buys them himself #but doesn’t have the money/resources for a tailor #and he can’t go to dentonic bc his uniform is supposed to be something totally different #i kinda struggled with his mask #but i like the idea that it really is a human face but you can see the edges. the metallic parts of the mask. the little glitches #his skin color is always ever so slightly off #also griffin described his actual face as ‘plain’ so imagine he looks like just some guy. a little babyfaced #while his ‘neutral’ mask is just generically handsome #and i didnt draw that but i think it glitches out sometimes and his face goes all wonky #sorry griffin i took over your boy #emerich was probably the easiest to design he just sprung into my head fully formed #i don’t remember if the give-a-ghost projector is actually supposed to be on his arm #but it is now . #also i would like everyone to think about montrose talking about jesus in that dumbass clean job mask please. thank you

Phantom of the Opera Spire anyone? Jaina is once again the nerdy skeptic just can't let the ghost rumours go. She finds more than she bargained for - namely, a hot and broody elf named Sylvanas Windrunner.

inspired by this femslash february prompt list

#world of warcraft #sylvaina #sylvanas windrunner #jaina proudmoore #minifemslashfeb2024 #mine #also im hiding this in the tags do not mob me ive literally never seen any adaptation of it ive only heard That One Song #this was an interesting...thing #the mask was inspired of me i must say #jaina: vereesa you never told me it was your fucking sister i thought it was something way worse from the way you described it? #jaina: also you never told me she was still ALIVE #vereesa: where's the fun in that? also you never believed she was even real #jaina: that's not the point. #vereesa: it's a great prank jaina admit it. plus she likes keeping busy with the spire it gives her something to do #jaina: i'll give her something to do. #vereesa: what. #jaina: what.

I noticed while walking around with Xiao that he just — he just has his mask on?? At first I thought it was just him in his ideal animation or something and stopped to let him take it off, and even minutes later he STILL HAD IT ON. Switched with my other characters and then back to him and STILL WEARING THAT MASK. Jumped and smacked things to hopefully trigger the mask away and nope, still there.

What??? FOR WHAT REASON????

#genshin sagau #sagau xiao #Genshin impact #Sagau #for reals he just kept vibing with the mask on #FOR SO LONG #I was confused #and then a few hours later I came back and it was finally gone! #what was the reason xiao??? #what was the reason to keep the mask on as I swirl you around to swing that mask off of your CUTE FACE #the mask was the true xiao we had all along

it’s kinda funny to me how that dumb scene in kiwami 1 of majima getting shot and left for dead in the harbor was basically just added as a half-assed way to explain majima not being around for a bit of the plot, but they accidentally(?) just made it seem like start of a chain reaction where majima ended up feeling slighted and heartbroken after being abandoned like that and then lashed out about it via smashing a big truck into the building kiryu was in. and yeah that isn’t inherently a romantic thing as-is but then they go and add the part where majima grabs a hostess and performatively hits on her as in-kiryu’s-face as possible, she says she’s already in love with someone, and majima lets her go immediately, no questions asked, making a big fucking point of it just to say see THAT kiryu? I appreciate when people are HONEST about their FEELINGS. people who won’t just BACKSTAB someone who CARES about them to save themselves. is that so crazy kiryu?? huh??? anyway make it up to me get down here and fight me right fucking now

#I think on another level he was sorta saying like ‘hey kiryu. you’re making it extremely clear that you don’t trust me and my intentions #and I’ve been trying to show you- over and over again- that I’d do just about anything for you and your safety #but I can’t just let my mask fall off in front of everyone- I need to keep up the unpredictable morally grey wildcard act for both my sake #AND yours. because disguising my helping you as crazy random violent outbursts and weird stalker behavior #is the only way I CAN help you. do you think it would go over well with shimano or literally anyone else if I was outright helping you out #of the kindness of my heart and fondness for you? stop being so fucking dense and look past the crazy wacky nonsense for a second and #maybe you’ll realize that all I do at the end of the day- really- is help you and put my own life and reputation on the line for you. #I am an honest guy when it comes to my real values and when I told you I wouldn’t let anyone kill you unelss it was myself- I meant it. #I’ve taken a knife and a bullet for you now. can you REALLY not see through the act yet? am I REALLY that unpredictable when you think about #it?’ #that was a longer explanation than i intended but. it was difficult to put into words #I basically feel like it could be read as him implying kiryu shouldn’t backstab the people who put themselves on the line to help him #and/or pointing out that he’s never actually done kiryu dirty and has stuck to his word protecting him in the ways he can #trying to say yeah all this is a crazy act and all but when it comes down to it you Can trust me #it really makes sense when you think about it that he’d have to help kiryu/show affection towards kiryu in unpredictable convoluted ways #at that point in time because. I mean. there’s a reason he was the only person who showed up to welcome kiryu when he got out of prison #and that’s because A) he sticks to his word and his loyalty to people he cares about and B) no one else had the balls or the batshit insane #mask to wear to ward off anyone asking real questions like majima did. because ANYONE associating themselves with the supposed #patriarch-killer was a HUGE NO-NO at the time. someone important showing up for kiryu and welcoming him back outright could’ve caused #all-out warfare probably. except majima. because majima was dedicated and smart enough to use his widely-feared wildcard persona #(that everyone tended to view as incapable of having any Real agenda to worry about) to his And kiryu’s advantage #does that make sense??? I feel like it makes a lot of sense if you get it to click in your head #kazumaji #majima #kiryu #yakuza #kiwami 1 #yk1 #rambling

The idea of Tori being a guest on Itachis ABNU team is so funny to me for some reason. Itachi should be used to having Tori as a teammate but I imagine his ABNU team respects and listens to him a lot more than Tori and Deidara do. I also like her being on Kakashis team because I like when Tori interacts with him... he somehow feels like the straight man (in the comedic sense).. the normal one...

itachi is control freak and therefore a very strict captain who does not tolerate backtalk or minor disobedience. he keeps turning to say something to tori and being like "......oh no" because he has a completely different dynamic with her and she's going to throw off the entire team. why did hokage-sama do this to him. also: they both assume it will be easy to turn off the "we are dating" act because they're "fake" but deeply unfortunately they do, in fact, like each other more than they like other people and it's Noticeable*

i imagine anbu mode!kakashi as a lot more serious than plainclothes!kakashi, but his relationship with tori is more of a sibling vibe, it's more like "my older sibling is very serious, guess i should be too" except tori doesn't have older siblings so she's like. confused

*they don't give off "in love" vibes but it's VERY obvious they know each other out of uniform lmao

#tori talks back to itachi one (1) time and now his entire team is afraid of her #also i think temp members just get an unassigned identity/mask #minato keeps giving tori nightingale. he thinks it's cute and no one ever wants that mask anyway #minato: like your venerated ancestor :) just being culturally sensitive :) :) #tori: my.... my what #minato: the medic? the inventor of the pie chart? you yelled about her at book club #tori: ..............FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE? #reborn au

When people want to lean on you for mental and emotional support and you're like, no I am a wobbly stick who is barely standing as it is, if you lean on me I will break.

You are allowed to protect your own mental heath, even if it means disappointing someone. Boundaries are good and healthy things to have and don't ever let anyone tell you different.

#Apropos of nothing... #Always see to your own health first #Put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others #You are not required to set yourself on fire to keep others warm #And personally....my ability to be a sympathetic ear only goes so far #I can deal with some things but at a certain point I have to protect my own mental health and draw the I Am Not A Therapist line #mental health

by the way. there's no conceivable universe in which the FTL fleet that left Earth in NtN didn't have it incredibly rough.

I've said this before, but it bears reminding: they jumped blind, using untested technology, with NO supply lines back to earth and no concrete plans for a colony. they took ships that were supposed to stack 11 billion people canned in like sardines and nothing else and stocked them full with enough resources to live on for generations and somehow found a settlement, and that was before they had to rush the schedule because John was making noise about transparency and mask their actual launch as a trial run.

it wasn't a comfortable journey. I'd be very, very surprised if the total passenger count was higher than 10k people, for space/resources allocation reasons as well as for secrecy reasons. Every person on board was a mouth to feed, and their descendants, and their descendants. I've seen some people in fandom say stuff like "Of course they'd bring along servants! Rich wouldn't do chores!" and IMO that fundamentally misses the point.

This wasn't the space equivalent of a cruise liner, or the Titanic crossing the Atlantic with first-class quarters and third-class decks. This is the space equivalent of climate refugees crammed in 500 in a tiny fishboat crossing the sea with a non-insignificant chance of dying en route, after emptying their savings to pay for the trip. The fact that the people on board the FTL ships were once insanely rich doesn't mean they travelled in comfort.

This was a desperate last-chance trip, destination "anywhere but here", chances of survival unknown. Their privilege got them on the ships, but the moment they left Earth, that privilege ceased to exist; there was no way to enforce an existing social structure. This is why, again, I think there were no luxuries on board and absolutely definitely no servants - if you're about to willingly enter into complete social collapse, you don't WANT to bring people you regard as less than yourself, knowing that they will be your equals tomorrow.

I'm still convinced that half the fleet at least didn't make it out, and those who managed to found settlements were nearly wiped out multiple times at different points in history.

#this was brought to you bc of that post this morning about whether there would be pets on the ship. my answer is: not for long #anyway. john calls them soon to be impoverished trillionaires. giving away cash bc it wasn't worth anything anymore in their eyes #we know 200 people on those ships were randomly selected as a smokescreen after john started making noise #we KNOW M- said that absolutely everyone else on the ship had bought a ticket or been useful to the project #you cannot conduct a large scale migration and mask it as a random test. #you can't keep that level of secrecy if you involve people who aren't in your exclusive circle #living people + supplies take up SO MUCH more space than canned bodies people #I'm putting the whole fleet estimate as 10k-12k MAX people and absolutely no menial workers lol #yes the trillionaires will wash the dishes if it means not sharing their limited oxygen with their nanny who could mutiny any day now #ftl fleet #nona reread #sort of i HAVENìT officially started but #tlt thoughts #elle tlt posting #tlt

One significant thing in Minecraft AU's Corrupted World is that players are transforming into mobs. See, we've been thinking this is normally a fairly benign and gradual process: every once in a while, a small piece of data gets corrupted, and the world will borrow data from some similar object/creature nearby to replace and stabilise it. That's what happened to Jack, a very old player who's simply been around long enough to pick up a bunch of sheep and goat data. But lately, due to both the age of a world that's been running for much longer than usual and Joey's shenanigans pushing the world to its limits, the code's been getting more aggressive about what counts as "corrupted" data, and what was once just an occasional shift to stabilise errors is becoming a threat of full transformation.

Anyway, it suddenly occurred to us that when the others bring Prophet -- a player in a pumpkin mask who is mostly comprised of garbled data -- to the snowy village near their bases, where pumpkin-headed snow golems can spawn........ this transformation might happen terrifyingly fast

#code sees a guy in a pumpkin mask and goes OH I GOT THIS I KNOW WHAT YOURE SUPPOSED TO BE #minecraft au #corrupted world minecraft au #sammy lawrence #prophet sammy #when in doubt just keep drawing

properly got the chance to read through the statements made by pomme dapper and ramons admins (plus admin 18s and some of the twitter update admins) and jeez i feel so bad for them but especially pommes admin. something incredibly sinister about focusing so much mistreatment on the admin who comes from the country where the union efforts are coming from while making merch of the character they played. capitalism is the enemy of creativity. whoever the people are that are removing admins without notice, theyre the ones that deserve to be removed from the project. not the egg/worker/animal admins that the whole fucking story is built on the backs of

#imagine being so fucking capitalism poisoned #that youd rather mistreat and kick off the people who help make the project what it is #than pay them for WORKING *DAILY* to keep the story going #what a fucking joke #mask mews #qsmp #hardly anyone is getting on the server. bads taking a break. a big part of why tubbos still getting on #is because of the tubbathon + he has to to work on his project #pierres on mostly to be afk and pac and phil get on rarely while other ccs just Arent getting on the server or are doing other things #and even when those who get on the server get on. they talk about missing the eggs. how much they wish they were there #qsmp did good for itself when the eggs werent around dont get me wrong #but the eggs are a GIGANTIC part of its success. it wouldnt be the same without them #you cant downplay how important they are to the very fucking structure of qsmp #especially because the egg admins also play the fed workers and animal characters #refuse to pay your workers what they deserve and eventually itll all fall apart. just because its a slow process with major corporations #doesnt mean itll be slow for smaller projects like this. thats just not how it works

im kinda glad i was a tiny child when windwaker came out and i only played it years later without having internet access for the longest time bc i would have NOT survived the hatred i know ww got when it first came out bc it wasnt what most people expected (ww is my fav zelda)

loving botw but not liking totk and seeing the vast majority praise the latter like its the holy grail while alot also discrediting and needlessly hating on botw for it is already making it hard to stay calm about :U

#ganondoodles talks #special interest go brrrr #sucks when you care so much about a piece of media thats out of your control and it does something you hate #i do not control the hyperfixation #it wouldnt be so bad if people wouldnt keep hating on botw just to praise totk more tbh #and before people say but arent YOU doing the same thing in reverse??? #welll ... its suppposedly a sequel yes? #direct sequels should build on the first title and totk does the opposite doesnt it? #again one of my biggest problems is that it was advertised and called a direct sequel qhen it really isnt #like at all #how some characters also made a weird turn in their personality it really does feel like it did a majoras mask thing without admitting to i #like majoras is GOOD #it was weird and kinda nonsensical but ultimately worked #can you imagine if totk just went with the whole other dimension thing properly and really went ham with it- #.... i am coming up with even more ideas for totk rewritten arent it.. #anyway i dont think im gonna get a collectors edition ever again given the risk of me not liking what its for #regret spending that kind of money on it after i calmed down my fears and in the end they turned out to be mostly right #;__;

i have to say its a strange experience taking classes on branding and marketing while being vehemently anticapitalist and scorning the economic system

#i shit you not ill be in class and theyre talking abt how to make brands memorable and use words to describe their tone and feel #and at the same time i see starbucks endorsing genocide and greedflation and AI techbros scheming us into extinction #its extremely fucking dystopian. and its even worse when u have teachers telling u to use chatGPT and midjourney for #placeholder text and images. like damn. this is really the industry im going into huh #i feel complicit doing this because i want to pursue graphic design but its chilling to see ppl get really worked up abt branding #do u not feel used?? doesnt it feel like youre giving a faceless entity a mask to gloss over the ugly parts?? cuz i do #i get excited at the design and UX aspect of things like how people think and how design and user interfaces are planned around how #we think and act. but when the endgoal becomes marketing or doing it for companies it just feels like a waste #like i think this is what bill watterson meant when he didnt want calvin and hobbes to be commercialized #i dont want to do anything else unless it comes to that like i change my career path somewhere down the line. but fuck dude #im just gonna keep using unsplash and lorem ipsum as much as i can because i sure as hell dont wanna add to the problem if i cant solve it #yapping #vent
