#like the started off ok in the beginning

[lyriumsings]

i always forget how much i love korra she lights up my soul the only bisexual woc icon to exist for me in my teens in like a super popular media like atla like the space she has in my heart is so!!! she’s so perfect to me!! i just wish her story and supporting cast had been as good as aangs her villains and like tenzin and lin were mwah chefs kiss but ooooo if i could do it all over again i have so many opinions

#i don’t care for mako and bolin #or that weird love triangle they had going on #like the started off ok in the beginning #but they just sincerely lack the depth of the original gaang #tbh tenzins old enough they should’ve just given him a kid korras age #to be part of korras group #it would’ve been interesting having an airbender who knows the city inside and out showing korra around #but also sympathizing with her lack of experience in the city #bc it feels like tenzin would keep them quite sheltered #like #idk mako and bolin just are so lacking to me #i need to be reminded about asami #but also why the fuck wouldn’t korra know about chi blocking lmao #i just realized that just now #she doesn’t know it’s a thing and i’m like??? ty lee is a part of aangs story #katara personally experienced it and is a part of korras training #lol anyway weird #like korra has really good storylines #but not alll of it is good in the way i feel aangs was #i think ppl who think korra isn’t as good as aang are so full of it korra as a characted i have literally no notes #i just think they had too many ideas at once and yet also not enough backstory

I’m finally biting the bullet and contacting a therapist today after being ambivalent ab it for so long… this hellsite has its many disadvantages but one thing I can say is it has truly helped me be less scared of pursuing therapy. Silver lining etc etc

#And to be clear I have nothing against therapy. I’ve seen it do wonders for other people #I think the reason it’s a point of defeat (just a little) for me to be like ok. I need a therapist. Is bc I’m admitting to myself that I #need one to begin w. And I get it’s not healthy but I always liked to think I could handle anything by myself #That was even the whole point of this blog. It was supposed to serve as a conduit for these feelings #And I’m not saying I don’t have a support system. I do. I have many wonderful friends #But I struggle to be vulnerable at all tbh and whenever I am I’m guilty ab it bc #I understand so many people have busy lives & I feel like an emotional burden on them by venting #Despite them telling me that it’s totally fine. Obvi a therapist is literally paid to listen so no guilt there #And I think that’s what I need #I’m not like on the brink of a psychotic break or anything but it’s just little things. I think it’d be nice to sit in someone’s office for #One hour a week and just go. That did bother me actually. I am tired actually. I do feel that way actually. #Rather than just burying my feelings w school and a busy schedule #I don’t think therapy will make me any less of a workaholic anytime soon but it’ll at least allow me to slow down one hour a week #And also not bottle shit up so fuckin much #But ya all of this is to say I’m drafting the email to her RIGHT now . #Starting the day off strong by oversharing on tumblr dot com

but also the way Dutch is like a shitty mother from the very beginning that i didnt even notice like Arthur really cant bring up any Very Valid concerns to him holy shiTTTT

#castform #:)! they're so pleased..! they like the weather… it's so pleasant right now… (VERY HOT) (NINETY DEGREES) (TOO HOT) #they're smiling… :)! they like something you said you were nice to them :)! #this pokémon has that gimmick where they like. change types based on the weather which is. like cool i guess i dunno if it's good #in competitive but i never used it personally. i feel like i always got it at too low of a level to want to grind it up #it's like ok. i feel like castform's moveset kinda has to be weather ball or whatever it is and then three weather setup moves so you can #actually use it and utilize the type-changing ability to its fullest extent. because if your opponent sets up weather then they're probably #already benefitting from it and you don't want them to benefit from it. because that means your weather ball probably isn't going to be good #against the theoretical opponent's type. and then it takes two moves to use any given type's version of weather ball so i just. don't #see how it could be that good. i will look it up on smogon cuz i imagine it's pretty decent in doubles bc then you can have the Other pokémo #n set up the weather so castform can use it but like if it's not even that strong to begin with #it certainly doesn't look it #yeah it's always been kinda mid it looks like. started off better around gen 4 and then just slooowly fell off up to gen 7 #dunno! still don't care a ton about competitive but i don't even care about this pokémon in not-competitive. sorry‚ castform fans

i just love microfics i literally dont edit shit, think abt ways to implement figurative language to make the prose prettier or refine it and it's so stress-free and it's just now i realize that after tt I've been worrying too much that all of my writing should be a consistent representation of 'my best' bc more people started reading it and the way iv been constantly comparing works i find 'top tier' and 'what was i on when writing this' literally nearly plummeted my writing drive.

#like iv been writing for myself since the beginning but there is no denying when i felt like 'more seen' when tt took off a little #there's been more focusing and worrying which i actually think impacted my writing negatively #my biggest flaw is not being consistent with how i write prose and i started fanfic in an attempt to remedy this #but i think the past 2 months iv totally strayed off course #also big reason why i want to take down tt and just. polish it. make it something i am proud of. and not recoil when i read 'older' chapter #ok sorry little rant over xoxo #also sometimes some writing styles dont fit for certain scenarios i cant explain #im just weird i guess

[the-way-astray]

reblog with your ranking of the eight cliffhangers from “not bad, actually” to “shannon, i’ll be banging on your door by sunrise”. this is. for science.

(side note: this is a ranking of the cliffhangers themselves, not how they were resolved or continued in the next book. so if a cliffhanger really hit you hard but then you found the way it was resolved in the next book to be underwhelming, that’s irrelevant. it would still be more toward the “shannon, i’ll be banging on your door by sunrise” side, and vice versa.)

mine is:

(not bad, actually)

“Sophie Elizabeth Foster is unmatchable.” (Flashback)

“I’m going to be hiding the same way the Black Swan hid you. [ . . . ] Love, Keefe.” (Unlocked)

“‘Sophie?’” (Lodestar)

“‘As of this morning, Prentice is awake.’” (Neverseen)

“‘Let’s go join the Black Swan!’” (Everblaze)

“‘Who’s Alvar?’” (Nightfall)

“‘You’re saying stellarlune is a Forgotten Secret.’ [ . . . ] ‘Bring it on.’” (Legacy)

“‘My name is Elysian,' she said. 'And I am the power source you’re all here looking for.’” (Stellarlune)

(shannon, i’ll be banging on your door by sunrise)

#kotlc #kotlc cliffhanger #ok i know people are gonna be like #'well it only SEEMS like the last cliffhanger is the worst because we don't know how it's going to be resolved yet!' #'so that makes it feel more brutal!' #'so we can't really be objective about it!' #WRONG you are WRONG and INCORRECT sorry to be the one to inform you but you're WRONG /lh #ok but in truth really felt like that last cliffhanger was the worst #i started reading kotlc a few months before legacy came out #so the only cliffhangers i had to deal with were flashback (for a little bit) legacy unlocked and now stellarlune #so ig that might skew my results a bit #curious to see what people who've been here since the beginning would say on this matter hmmmmm #that last cliffhanger really WAS the most brutal imo #like elysian??? is a person??? and can switch off abilities??? the things that are the heart of the lost cities??? #intriguing fascinating delicious #the worldbuilding is built AROUND abilities and now you're telling me there's someone who can switch them off??? #and NOT expect me to go feral??? #anyway

[rolilith]

ok sorry for getting emotional about lilith again but dialogue from the fight for sanctuary dlc

quest: the dawn of new pandora

an echo you can find in the backburner

quest: paradise found

like lilith having to fill roland's shoes after his death whether she wants to or not because everybody's looking at her to make the executive decisions and expecting her to be just as capable....then comparing that to dialogue at the end of the dlc where she's starting to prove herself to the others but she's still being held up to a standard.......im putting my head in my hands

#like yeah ok im sappy and attached to the bl1 vault hunters but the difference in how mordy and brick talk to her at the beginning and end #ik its mostly for plot purposes cause mordy got like infected but the way the entire b-team stayed to help even tho tinas been wanting to #go off-world and asking brick and mordecai about it.......and then u bring in ellie and tannis and...........teary eyes fr #and then the dialogue from the backburner echo tying into brick and lilith from the tps intro is a whole other thing -> #smthing smthing plot holes in the continuity but lilith being driven by her grief and anger of friends dying but brick recognising that #is out of character for her and trying to stop her ironically after he was the leader of a whole clan in bl2 BUT also this being the start #of brick becoming more empathetic and well rounded yadda yadda.... #ok sorry for rambling so much im just . overwhelmed with thoughts and i wish i could put these in a more organized way LOL #fil talks #but also one last closing thing 'what makes you think you can live up to him' AWAAWAWAWAA WHAT IF I STARTED CRYING !!!!!

[ruffgem]

Ok I painted for at least 17 million hours this weekend and I’m not done with my final project yet BUT ALMOST. They’re kicking us out of our studios on April 3rd so I’m trying to finish them by then. lamow

#my art #wip #i like posting works in progress a lot because then i can go back and look and it helps me remember the steps i've taken #in case i need to revert back or something as i start to refine them #overall i am pretty proud of myself because it is basically impossible for me to describe in words what im going to paint before i start #because it starts off as the vaguest possible image in my mind and then i 'carve it out' in painting #so even tho my teachers lowkey made me feel stupid in the beginning i'm glad it didnt discourage me from just doing whatever i wanted #WELL. it did in the beginning. like actually for the entire first semester. but it's ok i made it thru

[viovio]

this cahara fellow intrigues me… might i know more 👀

SMILING ok so basically he's a mercenary who's been hired for a hefty sum to retrieve a prisoner from the dungeons of fear and hunger, a captain of a mercenary army. The job is already suspicious to him but having to do dirty work and petty thievery from a young age he takes it.

Though as selfish as he is this job isn't entirely for himself, he promises his pregnant wife he'll buy her out of debt from the brothel she's working at and a life of luxury after this mission so they won't have to ever think of their past again. Makes sense when the intro of his playthrough says he had been abandoned as a child.

It's interesting because while you play as him you get a lot of other insight such as some flavor text when you pick up the small dagger. Unsuited for someone like you but smaller kids could wield it, and he is reminded of his father who taught him how to use one in combat at an early age. So his parents were at least semi-present.

If you play as any other character you can find him in the level 3 prisons where he asks if he could join your party, upon agreeing and leaving the area you'll find he's missing along with some of your blue vials (if you don't have those then literally anything else) already showing petty thievery. Though if you find him later in the mines you could lash out at him putting you in battle or pretend that didn't happen and he can be recruited in your party permanently.

He's a funny guy, sort of the most laid back out of all of the party even being flirty at times. Keep in mind he's still in a relationship with Celeste (his wife) and even with that demeanor I don't think he would like. abandon her so it's definitely an open agreement. With how his S ending has him return to her and his dream sequence he's pretty devoted. That said he's always down for the marriage sequences having some of the best dialogue when you "show love" to him.

It makes it all the more obvious when he starts losing his will the deeper you both go depending on how you manage him.

SPOILERS DOWN BELOWWWWW↓↓↓

ANOTHER THING THAT MAKES ME ABSOLUTELY INSANE (through spoiler osmosis, I haven't finished most of the endings yet nor have I gotten to termina) IS HOW ITS IMPLIED HE DIED IN THE DUNGEONS. YEA ALL THE PLAYABLE CHARACTERS' S ENDINGS ARE CANON EXCEPT HIS. HE'S THE ONE WHO LED THE GIRL TO ASCENSION AT THE DEPTHS. THOUGH I DON'T THINK HE'D KNOW THIS IT ALSO MAKES THE MOST SENSE SINCE HE'S AN EXPECTING FATHER HIMSELF AND WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT HER BEING ABANDONED AS A CHILD HIMSELF AND OHHHHHHHHH GOD CAHARAAAAAAA. CHARAHHEA

#asks #anon #i went so long but hes the most beginer friendly bc he can start off with skills like lockpicking steal and en garde #lockpicking being as the name suggests opening most locked doors without a key #steal you can steal from enemies during battle with the chance of rare or key items #en garde ambushing an enemy in the overworld and getting the first free turns against them in battle #hes so silly he makes me weep and cry hes my bestfriend having him in your party should boost mind idc idc #he has the endless soul which in game means *mumbling* #ok well i gotta open it again and read more into that

[todayisafridaynight]

*head in hands* whats the opinion on the yakuza tv series brother

i cant have an opinion on a thing when the thing aint even out yet brother

#snap chats #im lying of course i can #i saw people complaining about the kiryu cast and like. eat rocks he's fine #also i saw more people complain about the fact they're adapting y1 again and like. Eat Rocks LMAO #if they're making a tv series it makes sense to start from the beginning. sins yakuza 0. #LIKE IT MAKES SENSE TO GO IN ORDER do i have faith they'll ACTUALLY go on to adapt y2 of course not #but hell if they're going to give a live-adapt series that's more in-depth compared to the movies and stageplay #then i'll be happy to watch it. again. #plus Genuinely it'd be weird to have a tv series and then skip right to y2 i KNOW people would complain bout the lack of y1 season #so it's a lose-lose situation in that respect #i know the real reason they can't do a y2 adaption is cause they'll never find a dude as yolked nor breasted as ryuji and thats ok #stageplay ryuji was cute but i understand wanting to be more on-the-money this time around take your time rgg ill understand.... #could just have a xena moment. bro could be built like wireframe but his presence is what'll sell it yk what i mean #tho... kinda hard to do when he WILL have to be shirtless at some point.... anyways... #im always stoked to see what rgg puts out SO i wonder what the tv series will be like :) #i hope yumi is fleshed out... impossible since she's literally supposed to be missing the entire game but i can dream #I JUST WANNA SEE REINA AGAIN HIGHKEY and shinji.... #also who's the dilf thats gonna play kazama.... i have my priorities straight ok #tl;dr im optimistic :) rgg keeps giving me reasons not to jump off a building so LMAO ill take what i can get to keep going

[hrina]

and then the next day i sent him a very polite text being like “i don’t think we’re a good match but it was nice to meet you and i hope you find what you’re looking for ☺️” and he had the AUDACITY to tell me that he wanted a better answer.. like okay fine ITS BECAUSE YOU SUCK AT SEX

#jackhammering my pussy right off the bat and for what????? it was an assault on my senses im being so srs rn #WHYYYY ARE YOU STARTING AT 100…. YOU NEED TO BUILD UP TO THAT #the worst part was definitely how much shit he talked about how he was gonna rock my world and whatnot #like i always take those claims w a grain of salt to begin with but he sounded so self-assured i was like ok maybe he’s actually good #but NOPE

[frazzledazzlin]

hope u guys don't mind me being a little queer sometimes and talking to myself in the tags, it helps clear my head since people can filter out rant posts easily

#bc i had not used this place in a while until late 2022 ive absolutely forgotten if i used to talk to myself in tags here before or not #i say this bc i now have people who actively see my art here n just throwing random rants here would be very rude so i prefer tags help #feels safer here too LOL #also feels a little scary but im sure that's normal for many that there are ppl who read all tags mein gott #NOT A BAD THING THAT PPL READ TAGS i wouldn't be writing anything if i wanted to kill people for reading tags lol #just stating observations aheem aheem #its like writing on a public bathroom's walls and people passing by to be like “damn bitch ok” /funny #also do not worry at all about how i express myself i do apologize if my words sometimes sound like im on the brink but like #violence is the only way i love to be expressive HELP #watch me be on the government watchlist for the shit ive said gootbyeeeeeeee #but do not feel worried i will be ok eventually every time. sometimes i just gotta explode oh so violently to deflate and feel normal again #WISH I COULD USE EMOJIS ON THIS DAMN PC #anyway the person im trying my damned to avoid is Sure Making It Difficult #at least the people i wanted to know why i was autotune crying baby for a while heard me out n im alive in that regard finally smile emoji #how long can you keep gently hinting you want to distance yourself from somebody until you lose your goddam mind and feel sweet relief when #they actually leave said group themselves after getting my blunt hints help help #oh i sound so fucking rude with just my side but mein gott i don't care bc it was never a serious thing to begin with #just shot my anger thru the roof for good reason and finalliegh im getting mutual distance from that person lol #never get close with ur fave artists worst mistake of my life /hj for real #u start off loving seeing them every time and then boom youre sad how things turned out every time you see them my god #also make sure ur minor friends dont feel like they need to mend things for the adults i feel so fucking sad for someone bc of this rn but #i talked to them n hopefully they understand aouhg. #anyway back to queer posting thats enough soup for today good god #ranting

[twilightarcade]

if u were a book (nit like an actual book a mad up book of you as a person) whatwould u be

mmmm paperback

TRICKED YOU, NOT THE END OF THE POST!!!!!!!!!!!!

okokok I think it would be fun to be a children's book but like? Let's be honest here that's not happening. THOUGH if it would happen? One of those thin, fully illustrated ones. Watercolor maybe... who knows. I know most children stories have like.... some sorta moral? A lesson of sorts. I don't think I would have one. I would just be a story for the sake of a story,, I think that's enough. Or like. Pete the cat. I just remembered he existed. Love Pete the cat so mcuh.

okok that aside erm... if I was actually turned into a book? Like cursed by an evil wizard of sorts.... I'd like to be a paperback perhaps, just because I personally read them more (lots of hardcovers are like. Huge) and they're slightly more representive of me like,, as a person. If that makes any sense. Also I hate dust covers or whatever on hardcover books. Just 2 note.

Format? Well there's these two books I've read recently and I have NO idea what you would call the formatting but im obsessed with it.

books are long way down and the book thief, respectively. (Don't tell anyone but I haven't actually finished the book thief,,, working on it) obviously some divide in the formatting here, but they're both atypical for a book.

[TANGENT I LOVED LONG WAY DOWN SO MUCH!!!! ITS A SUPER QUICK READ I READ IT IN LIKE A DAY.... which is a common theme w things I like (finishing way faster than I should and can) honestly if I don't finish your story in an unreasonably fast amount of time what's even the point (JOKING IM JUST RLLY BAD WITH FINISHING THINGS...... it's like sampling bais because the only things i do finish are things i finish super fast)]

erm what else is in a book........ (googling) OUH not like. That it specifically comes with a book. Moreso an environment type thing. There would be a bunch of writing in the margins and a cracked spine and dog eared pages etc because I don't see myself being a perfect book like brand new style. Also think it would be cool to be a huge dramatic spell book of sorts but like. Let's be real here I'm not getting that either.. mayhaps a small book. Like those really small horror novels we have. Thick, but small enough to fit in a hoodie pocket if you really wanted. also like a bazillion years old (not actually that old tbh)

um. Things in a book. Cover...? Covercovercover. Not sure what my hypothetical cover would look like. I suppose it depends on what the book (me) was about...? But that could be any number of things,,, who knows! Whatever ur heart desires. A like. Hard cover would be cool. In theory. Hypothetically, though not in practice.

author would be unlisted

#askstag #would this get thoughtagged i. Forget what we use that for. #ermmm #metag? #EVILtag #ya #mmmmmmm i'll retag eventually maybe? Probably not. Pretend I will thoug #OK ANYWAY [pushing everything off the table like when ur laying down a map (map table is always dirty.)] #this was typed on like 3 seperate occasions forgive any inconsistencies #i would be a pretty cool book everyone would love me (<- lying) #we umm... book us. Book us would probably cater to a super specific audience #which is fine because i cater to a super specific audience and am a super specific audience #anyway i don't know how many words is too many words. At what point do people start killing me for making long posts #sort of just resolved to put it under a readmore whenever it begins to approach that

[bansenshukai]

What's the ship, OP? 👀

😭 ik it makes no sense okay it makes sense in my HEAD

and only in a very specific dynamic that i maybe wrote a 1k intro chapter to already

iruka/obito no i know. it makes no sense. I just had this incredibly specific vision in which obito is an (unrepentant) war criminal and imprisioned post 4th war, and he is so toxic and bitter and dangerous and kakashi is so obviously compromised and guilt ridden about the whole thing! so kakashi (as the 6th hokage) realizes (reluctantly, and definitely pushed by his jounin commander/advisor shikamaru to the path of logic) that in order to best serve his village and stay loyal he shouldn't talk to obito, or see him. period.

and where does iruka come in? well the 6th hokage needs to assign one person to interact w his problematic beloved but also someone who isn't going to go crazy and has extremely high security clearance but also might feel some level of empathy and is proven to put the village first always.

and oh, hey. would you look at that one mission desk shinobi/academy sensei/big-hearted loud-mouthed chunin who fits those criteria exactly?

and thus Iruka is given the extremely dubious honor of being obito's jailer basically.

#hm i think it is a very interesting dynamic bc iruka is just like. he is a Normal Shinobi (at least compared to everyone else in shippuden) #so unlike with obito and kakashi #there isn't even a semblance of equality. usually. BUT. in this case obito is in chains and at the mercy of the inferior shinobi. #which has got to bite yknow #anyway i think it would start off with obito literally despising everything abt iruka and vice versa. #but i imagine obt would reveal things that shake (but dont break) iruka's faith in konoha. and the opposite as well #where obt starts to unwillingly empathize w iruka and begin to feel guilt for some of his actions #I DONT KNOW ITS HARD TO EXPLAIN BUT I HAVE A VISION OK #reading this back i feel like its impossible to explain the exact character dynamic without actualyl writing it.... #also big big bonus we get the added flavor of extra heavy kakashi guilt and suffering #esp from an outside POV which is mm. so tasty. #like i actually do think obkk make each other worse For Real (in this specific AU) so kakashi is just going along #being a wonderful Hokage. Staying loyal to his village. Being completely utterly abjectly miserable :D

[ii-zi]

Even when they ask, venting to people makes me feel like a tar pit lol

#E asked like what's up i havent seen u in years u never come when we gather like are u Ok #n i was thinking for so long like a way to explain without burdening them but also not seem like making generic excuses.. #and after thinking for so long and not liking anything i was too tired to be coherent #so I just started writing.. and ended up venting without even asking if it was ok in 34 fucking messages lol #dropped as much as i could think of. cried in the bathroom for a while. played it cool in the gc #genuinely feel like concrete shoes on everyones feet every time i speak to anyone specifically my friends #like yeah friends r there to support u n shit but like. im well aware of how terribly tiring it gets when someone only #opens their mouth to vent lol #worrying about worrying them only adds to my worries. do you see my point #vent #personal #it is not only a chore and a pain (and a source of worries) to them but also to me #so they can like. pretend it's not happening. or keep poking to try and help. or silently slide off like w C #but idk which one would hurt less lol #even here w how often i vent i feel like yall see these type of post and just go ''ah. bottomless pit of despair again. dear god'' #and that's not like. being unking towards yall. i get tired of /having/ to vent this much lol it is a lil freeing but #freeing like putting off a lil of the fire that is burning you alive is freeing. id much rather not have been on fire from the beginning yk
