kim is such a funny little guy like he emphasizes how little the rcm salary is when you ask about it (5500 reál annually- 460/mo) but here he is with his nice electronic sports watch and his little instant camera and his fancy revolutionary cosplay for plainclothes and he's living in the GRIH which can't be cheap and he's got his fancy little mnemotechnique notebooks which are like the moleskine of elysium i guess and his fancy little ballpoints that he does NOT want to share with you which i bet is because they cost him like a week of salary. and this is the rcm he's not getting stipends for supplies or watches or housing or probably even the gas for the kineema. poor as fuck but he is going to buy himself his little treats god damn it. if he lived in our world you know he'd be out getting himself a $9 vanilla soy milk half caf dirty chai iced latte every morning on the way to the station and eating instant noodles every night to claw out room in the budget for it

#'kim is a black coffee kind of guy' false he drinks black coffee at work solely for appearance #given the choice he's like the typical iced latte extra caramel sauce 27 pumps of vanilla and whipped cream type of girlie #he won't admit it though. so he drinks it black at work. with one (1) sugar if he's feeling zesty #kim buying himself extremely nice and overpriced notebooks every couple weeks justifying it with 'it's for work' #he will justify any purchase to himself with 'it's for work' wherever possible #which results in insane feats of mental gymnastics. and yes that would include the $9 soy chai lattes #harry is broke bevause he spends r400 a month on booze. #kims budget is r110 kineema gas and mods r150 stationery r150 rent r20 pen ink refills r20 tailoring supplies and r10 food & misc #creature of pride indeed. love you kim #kiwipost #kk meta #kim kitsuragi #harry makes fun of the expensive pens until he writes with one then hes like no yeah this is a nice pen. im sorry for ever doubting you #actually even better if harry thinks its shitty. he'd prefer the cheap dollar store bulk pack 50c plastic ones #kim gets really defensive of his pens too. unreasonably defensive. personal insults may or may not be slung at this point #kim is sooo funny yes sir you are so so normal average sane mundane usual orthodox plain unremarkable spoilsport etc. whatever you say babe

Do you ever just think about how Veth “Nott the Brave” Brenatto is one of the best characters of all time. Do you. Because I do. All the time.

#i love her so much you guys #there are like. maybe five characters that are my All Time Personality Defining Favourite Characters #and i’ve had veth for less than two years but she snuck her way onto that list with her rogue powers #i have novels worth of veth meta floating around in my head at all times tbh #critical role #cr2 #veth brenatto #nott the brave #kk talks about stuff #kk watches cr2

i am a little confused on the homestuck quadrants i think they're called? you know, the ones with the card symbols, could you explain those?

BOY COULD I !!!!!!!!! ( <- has a special interest in this and is vibrating at the speed of light )

alright, so, first of all there's four of them. one for each card symbol.

humans use the heart symbol for our romance (♥) but since troll romance is so much more complicated, they use four symbols. hence where the card deck comes from.

i'm going to try to explain this as simply as possible when it's really incredibly complicated stuff- i mean, human romance is the same and there's only one of it- so just bear with me here, haha.

matespritship ♥

when a troll feels flushed towards someone, and dates them in the flushed quadrant, that's their matesprit. this quadrant is one of the physical/reproductive ones, and it's based on positive emotions (pity). it's similar to human romance, i would say, although possibly with less emotional leeway.

pretty easy, so let's move on.

kismesissitude ♠

this is the pitch quadrant, your pitch partner is called your kismesis. this one is also a physical/reproductive quadrant, but instead of being about positive emotions (pity) it's based on negative ones (hate).

this is someone that you hate so much you want to be in a relationship with them about it. in better terms, they're your rival. the person you are driven to challenge and fight, and always be better than.

the partners in this relationship must be equal and hate each other equally, otherwise there's no point. because if they aren't equal how are they challenging or fighting one another? they must also respect each other and actually want to better each other, for similar reasons.

here's a quote from karkat i really like about the respect you have to feel towards your kismesis to properly challenge and hate each other:

*alt text in image. full quote: x

pitch romance is important to trolls, and it's not just about fucking someone you hate like people generally like to assume.

moirallegiance ♦

a troll's pale partner is also called their moirail. this is the first of the non-reproductive relationships. although some people might tell you this is like a platonic best friendship, that is false. a moirallegiance is a romance. and it's a very important one in troll society- in fact it is practically a job!

the purpose of a moirail is to protect a dangerous troll from themselves and others. this means to tend to them emotionally, to guard their heart, to watch out for their other relationships. you know everything about this troll, you help with their mental issues and their place in the world. the main focus of this is to calm them down, usually, as many trolls have rage issues.

moirails will often be closer to each other than other quadrants, and build nest-like piles together to canoodle in while they talk about their feelings. it's all very intimate, really.

*alt text in image. full quote: x

(canon will tell you that dangerous, violent trolls are always palemates with even-tempered, "good" trolls who tend them. but i personally don't believe this to be true. a moiraillegiance, like any relationship, gives both partners benefits if it lasts. for example, you may assume nepeta simply calms equius, but there's plenty of evidence that he does his best to protect her in different ways too.)

auspisticism ♣

an ashen mediator, or an auspistice, is a facilitator between a pair of trolls who feel themselves starting to hate each other. the point of this auspistice, or middle leaf, is to foster communication and calm down both parties at once, to stop them from letting their annoyance towards each other develop into an actual pitch relationship. this is also one of the non-reproductive relationships.

usually this is because it would interfere with another relationship or friendgroup as a whole, possibly by causing pitch infidelity.

this is probably the most confusingly defined troll romantic relationship, and definitely the most underrated. it would be nice to know more about it.

in the end, we have these four types of romantic relationship.

the top two, or the red romances, are the ones that are based on positive pity.

the lower two, or the black romances, are based on negative emotions, hate.

the left two are concupiscent- aka dealing with sexual reproduction. the right two are conciliatory, aka dealing with calming someone else down.

that's the simplest way i can put troll romance. i hope it makes sense? feel free to ask me any questions :]

SO sad we didn’t get camila’s arc abt letting go of what made her overprotective of luz. you KNOW the last season would’ve covered that in depth. the crew made important changes to camila’s design — notably the curly hair — to show her relaxing a bit

would she have gotten to see how much luz blossomed in another world?? how she found people who loved and accepted her? how she got by even when she wasn’t accepted at first?

maybe we would’ve gotten the episode where camila decided to stop straightening her hair, her revisiting cosmic frontier as something that let her escape as a child, and she would probably see how luz being able to express herself freely got her further than a school system and a world that tamps her down (y’all see how the demon world correlates to subcultures made up of minorities right? lgbtqia, ethnic groups, neurodivergent ppl…)

we did miss a good bit — hunter liking the warmth of a family, vee and her friends, the others missing their families, maybe an episode of lilith’s hair growing in red (tons of character development i’m sure) and eda and king’s deal, but most importantly the PAYOFF of a mother working thru her own issues and then fighting thru the noise to help her daughter with the issues she accidentally inflicted upon her. some narrative effects can only be achieved with time

yeah. middle aged man yaoi in naruto. objectively more ibteresting than the main characters of tge show bc it asks the awesome question "what if their roles got reversed and the nice guy was manipulated into being evil and the asshole genius had to become the hero

#callibg kakashi a hero is. well its interesting. but he Is the reason obito changed his mind. sure naruto convibced him but if kks hadnt #destroyed the seal. well. #also was reading an interesting meta yesterday about how rin is Maybe one of the modt important cgharacters in the show #just bc. obito and kakashis actiobs after her death fundamentally changed the course of history #ie obito wouldntve been evil and kakashi wouldntve joined anbu

[57sfinest]

okay kim opinion poll. in a long term otherwise good friendship/relationship/whatever with harry, is kim more:

1) secretly grateful for harry's can-opening mind-reading abilities, because it means he almost never has to actually SAY what he wants or is thinking but will have his needs/desires fulfilled regardless, or

2) does he resent the mind-reading because he is a deeply private person and his thoughts are supposed to be the ONE thing truly his own and he doesn't like that harry can bypass the one boundary he thought was truly solid

realistically it's a mix of both but i'd like to know which way people think he leans

#it's not one or the other it definitely depends on the situation #when kim wants something and specifically wants it fulfilled it's easier if harry just 'reads his mind' #but if there's something kim is repressing and harry dredges it up then kim starts resenting it #which is why harry needs to. yknow. learn to respect boundaries #mostly i'm asking this because i see a lot of people say kim would be happy about being mind-read #but i feel like it isn't that simple and i want people's thoughts #disco elysium #kiwipost #kim kitsuragi #kk meta

[rosemary-is-in-pesterquest]

Karkat judging rosemary is funny and we should expand on it

#genuinely wish kk’s whole interspecies ban was a big thing in the comic #bc karkat being antagonistic to rose and kanaya before eventually supporting it bc they make each other happy #but most importantly it makes kanaya happy #it’d also be meta bc for some reason around that time period the fandom hated troll/human ships

[piratespencil]

Veth :D

Okay there are like a hundred different things I could say about Veth because she’s my favourite character ever, but here’s one thing I love! I love the inherent and accidental queerness of Veth as a character.

There’s the fact that Veth’s entire character arc of being in the wrong body is so so easy to read as a trans allegory. And then there’s also the fact that Veth is a female character being played by a man, which lends a sort of meta crossdressing element to her character, if that makes sense?

I really love when ttrpg players play a pc who is a different gender from them, the same way I love to watch a play where the actors are playing different genders, the same way I love stories about crossdressing or cross-gender disguises or Ranma 1/2 style gender swapping. That kind of stuff scratches such an itch for me as a nb person and it really is something I love about Sam playing Veth.

(Send me the name of any cr character and I’ll tell you something I love about them!)

#sorry this was more of a meta thing than something about veths personality but it’s something i really love about this character #that i don’t think i’ve talked about yet! #critical role #cr2 #veth brenatto #nott the brave #kk talks about stuff #kk watches cr2 #reply

I’m literally half a month late to post because of school but! As some may know, I’m part of a Gloomverse server which does a mini art fight every year, so, here’s an image from it!

This image is of Callahan’s (Smol Cactus on the GV Discord) characters Asher and Hazel! I saw that Hazel has a crush on Asher and boy did I RUN with the idea, also tried a few new techniques with this one art wise and I’m pretty pleased with it.

As usual check out my Instagram (link in pinned post) for a speedpaint! (post may already be up, it may not be, who knows, all I know is that I can queue on tumblr but not insta)

luz's snake palisman

snakes were mentioned at least 3 times in the first ep of season 3. luz's palisman is almost certainly a snake!

snakes can represent:

change (shedding one's skin)

sin (christian creation myth)

belos' puritanical beliefs would identify many things luz embodies (freedom, magic, otherness, queerness, her heritage) as sin

ouroboros

associated with alchemy symbol of "eternal cyclic renewal or a cycle of life, death, and rebirth; the snake’s skin-sloughing symbolizes the transmigration of souls."

hermes' caduceus ☤

"It is said the wand would wake the sleeping and send the awake to sleep. If applied to the dying, their death was gentle; if applied to the dead, they returned to life." (doesn't this feel wonderfully luz? and her mother is a vet) additionally, commerce and negotiation (VERY eda traits) it ALSO represents printing, writing and eloquence (luz has a way with words AND the glyphs. she always draws them incredibly precisely)

rod of asclepius

again associated with healing and perhaps the originator of the association, which was later confused with the caduceus people would sacrifice what they could to cure themselves at this god's temples the greek word for medicine and poison were the same

apollo

he gave both of the two above staffs to their respective owners a god of the sun, aka light-bringer, aka luz's name and her first glyph!

the luz bone

the entire wikipedia article on the luz bone is fucking me up. it is associated with resurrection in many religions, and some schools of thoughts identify it as the vertebra shaped like the head of a snake (and in general her name being a body part feels fitting for a show that mainly takes place on the bones of a titan's corpse)

all references from their respective wikipedia pages
