#like when you're grown

[a-mere-dream]

I think it'd be hilarious if Shen Yuan transmigrated into, say, Qing-generation disciple era as Shen Jiu's twin, and he's doing his absolute best to make sure his brother doesn’t get suspicious of his changed behaviour--and it's working. As far as he knows, Jiu-ge suspects nothing!

Meanwhile, a reincarnated post-PIDW Shen Jiu is doing the exact same, trying not to let on how he has no fucking clue how to act around this random guy with his face (he isn’t meant to be a big brother! Is this feeling genuine protectiveness?? Ew, what the fuck, stop it--)

So they just awkwardly shuffle around each other, both feeling like they are doing so fucking well, look at that idiot, he suspects nothing.

A-Yuan speaks a strange language? Okay, why the hell not, it's not like Shen Jiu knows what the boy learned while travelling with Wu Yanzi. Jiu-ge's skills are up to par with fully grown Cultivators? Yeah, sure, that makes sense--he'd have been a very boring villain if he sucked at everything.

It takes literal decades until they finally realise the truth.

Bonus points if Yue Qingyuan has been shot here from a svsss-adjecent timeline, is undergoing about twelve Revelations a minute, and is vibrating from the sheer excitement that comes with getting to dote on the 'new' version of Shen Qingqiu that he's grown fonder off than he ever wished to without that meaning he has to give up on his history with Shen Jiu. It never once occurs to him that the Shen twins don’t know what is going on.

#svsss #scum villain #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #shen jiu #yue qingyuan #shen twins #i think that for the good of shen jiu's mental health this should culminate in liushen. because if this becomes #bingqiu i genuinely think he is going to do his absolute best to murder luo binghe. #he'll probably survive a simple master-disciple relationship between the beast and his brother without getting a conniption #probably. #anyways when they've realised they're both like: you're telling me i didn’t /have/ to put up with this fucker?? #but by that time they've reluctantly grown fond of each other. even if the cain instinct is very quick to manifest #hell they might even /like/ each other!

Opening my old story notes and finding "The Crossroads of Fuck You" as a plot arc is DELIGHTFUL, let me tell you

Anyway outlining for the next Dark Night in Ba Sing Se is going, I've fleshed out a rough outline for the entire series

Except for the part I'm actually supposed to be writing

why brain why

#no but really the outlining is going great at the series level #much more achievable than when I last touched the story #it's almost like I've grown as a writer and am I able to conceptualize the sweeps of long plot arcs better or something #crazy #no but really Toph play nice with this current installment #Toph #Toph why are you doing this #CABBAGE MAN YOU'RE NOT HELPING #avatar the last airbender #atla #Zuko

"haha, are you an art gay, a science gay, or a math gay"

Actually, I find the division between art, science, and math to be a very nebulous idea and useless when you actually interact with the universe. The more you learn about the world, the more you surround yourself with art and science and math, and you'll never be able to see it any other way and it will be beautiful. When I take your hand, it won't be the science of our atoms closing the distance between us that we will experience, but the math of our fingers interlocking and the art of our bodies that we will experience. You are math and you are science and you are art, and nothing will make you any lesser💛

#positivity #the planets are singing right now. are you listening? #if you can't experience the art of science and the science of art then i think you're missing out #the more i intentionally try to learn the more i love art and sfience and the world 💛 #i was always more of a humanities person but i've grown restless and taking up science??????? holy shit?????? #i was in class the other day and a very simple concept finally clicked in a fundamental way and i think that's why i'm alive actually #i think i know how michaelangelo felt when he painted the creation of adam #this is why i really encourage y'all to look up on youtube some free lectures because some of them are so amazing #like i watched a lecture about elements and it's still fucking me up when i think about it #this is also why i despise the whole 'modern art isn't really art; it takes no skill 😡' thing people like to do #please sit down and paint one of the installments of Who's Afraid of Red Yellow and Blue #i've learned to appreciate that installment and art series as of late and i think it's nice art #i love this stupid fucking world 👾

hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x

#seriously another shout out to my mutuals #id particularly like to say thank you to boom who's always right there for me no matter what's happening or how insane im being #and also everyone in our little discord that wound up having to make a whole new channel for venting #bc i was there so often like 'today's weird ask isssss.... telling me about my cupsize!! rip them to shreds!!!' #hannah and theo especially being there and pushing me to finally turn off anon. war is truly over #and of course rori bc the shamelessness u show when hating on my anon asks has been genuinely really cathartic #sometimes u really do just need a rottweiler mutual to tell random people online to kill themselves 😭 #okay weird oscar acceptance speechcore gratitude over. i do just rlly love my mutuals #like i went three years not telling anyone about the worse side of internet popularity for fear of looking spoiled and ungrateful #so for the first time to open up about it and be met with outrage on my behalf and people saying in fact it's MORE fucked up #than i initially realised bc ive grown desensitised to it is. yeah cathartic i guess #they are singlehandedly reassuring me of the good this cursed app still holds #so everyone thank them and send them flowers NOW #okay im done i think. see you guys soon. i truly do want to come back asap bc like i said i NEVER EVEN WANTED TO FUCKING LEAVE #SOME ASSHOLES JUST HAD TO PUT GRENADES ON WHAT I ASSUMED WERE VERY UNIVERSAL AND OBVIOUS BOUNDARIES #if you're reading this like 'ohhh fuck i defo sent something invasive lately. i thought it was a joke/we were friends' #then 1) we arent friends if you're on anon. it immediately creates a power imbalance where you know me and any necessary context #but i have no idea who you are or how much you know about me. that's already a fucked dynamic #and 2) I HOPE YOU FEEL BAD. LIKE GENUINELY I HOPE YOU FEEL AWFUL AND HAVE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT YOURSELF #okay i think that's all. ta-ra lads??? how tf do u end something like this #ive queued this to reblog a couple more times throughout the day

I LOVE the way when they kidnap young Uhtred, Uhtred is so excited to introduce his cringefail Christian son and he's being just an absolute wet blanket.

Sihtric and Finan are looking around like 😬👀🤨 this your boy?

And then Uhtred immediately proves yes this IS my boy by being an equally cringefail father for earnestly bringing his son a tiny pony and being just so so excited about it.

Ah I really love your au and all the little details you wrote about in the tags!! Especially the little tidbit of chip painting scenery :-] I can't wait for more !

Thank you!!! 💚💚 I think Chip has a soft spot for nature, despite having worked in deforesting

#imagionary rambles #You have to do what you have to to live in the crazy world #especially when you're created with a chainsaw for a head with the intent of deforesting or harm #Chip longs for the tranquility of nature and all that it brings #such a horrifying; lonely; mysterious thing nature is; and yet it can be so peaceful and serene #he strives to be like nature; he is nature and nature is him; a twisted painful existence that he longs to be peaceful in #ttcc #toontown corporate clash #toontown: corporate clash #chip revvington #chainsaw consultant #he's going to be working outside with Spruce now after the most recent fiasco #finally; nature is so close and he can be in it again; and since Misty has the toon portal she can bring them to his and Spruce's old cabin #he can't help but miss the other managers though #with comfort and peace comes sacrifice of other loved things Chip has grown to know

#i know there's a bad read of that because it's requiring excellence and it's conditional #but for someone like ava #i think it's comforting to have expectations set and to meet them and to be validated for them #when she has grown up feeling like no matter what she did she wasn't the daughter nina wanted nothing was ever good enough #because there was an inherint mismatch in their beings #but she and deborah are kindred souls #(and lbr it's not conditional bc this is a woman that dumpster dived for her fathers ashes for her after the email) #but you know it's that whole her light shines SO BRIGHT #and when you're in it it's everything the warmth is overwhelming #and when you're not #the cold creeps in #hacks thrive juice #ava x deborah #hacks hbo #hacks spoilers

No you don't understand. Jack Skellington wrapped his bony hands around my heart with these parts of his lament:

Yet year after year, it's the same routine And I grow so weary of the sound of screams And I, Jack, the Pumpkin King Have grown so tired of the same old thing

~.~

Oh, there's an empty place in my bones That calls out for something unknown The fame and praise come year after year Does nothing for these empty tears

#IT'S THE WAY HE SAYS IT #so much passion for ''and i jack!! the pumpkin king!!'' and then the weariness of ''have grown so tired of the same old thing'' #GENIUS. RELATABLE AF. #and then he starts sounding really upset when he sings ''the fame and praise come year after year. does nothing for these empty tears'' #and again relatable!! like without relating it to a desire for a change/something new (though that is also relatable!) #but yeah!! when people praise you but it doesn't touch you and you're just fuckin sad and miserable!! yeah!! fuck yeah skeleton man!! #Jack Skellington #Jack's Lament

so how was quiet rain disowning clear sky. is it what you hoped it would be

I wish it could last. I want to stay in the moment where she gets pissed off at Gray Wing sucking his brother's toes and tosses him out of the den for an eternity, and then spend the next one in the moment where she rejects Clear Sky's shitty "apology" where he says she HAS to forgive him as his mother and she disowns his murderous ass on the spot

If I stay in these moments forever I'll never have to get to the part where she forgives both of these clowns

#clear sky #quiet rain #gray wing #bones reads dotc #see normally I rail against any parent hitting their child #But I think Quiet Rain deserved to smack her ADULT son for how he started whinging about how he was sooo scared he had to murder his friend #And he's there all wobbly-eyed like ''this is my mother... she was so proud... when i caught my first prey she smiled.....'' #Like YES you BEAST. you're a GROWN MAN #YOU HAVE AN ADULT SON #YOURE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS BITCH!!! #OH NO! A CONSEQUENCE! #PERISH LIKE A DOG

High-echelon Mawkin suit modules can be pretty wild, and the Energy conversion module in Raven Beak's suit is no exception.

When exposed to an active current or energy field, the module accounts for the level of charged particles in the local atmosphere and converts the detected matter to power. Most substantial forms of power and radiation are compatible with its function, and it's calibrated to work more efficiently when exposed to substantially powerful forms of plasmic matter.

The conversion module is similar to (but should not be confused with) the thermal charge module, which charges the power suit in extreme heat. That technology is also implemented in the protective exosuits found in Cataris' lava zone. The Mawkin use thermal energy to power a number of their facilities: that they'd implement it in their more mobile works is only natural.

Back to the subject at hand, the conversion module's practicality is twofold: to keep Raven Beak's suit sufficiently charged and to maintain his vigor in battle. His particular biometric modifications are such that his suit, combined with his level of physical fitness, can theoretically keep him fighting without fear of exhaustion in perpetuity.

Raven Beak's juiced up version of lightning armor is the inverse of this module: it absorbs charged particles for the purpose of coalescing into a projected wave. The use of lightning armor in this manner negates the function of the conversion module for restorative purposes. Additionally, lightning armor works best against oncoming projectiles, while the reactive conversion module is at its peak when the suit is exposed to ambient radiation or concentrated, consistent flows of power.

Suffice to say, Raven Beak is probably the only person who could stick a fork in an electrical socket and have it do the exact opposite of killing him.

#when i said he looks down on samus' suit upgrade library with pity. this is the kinda shit he's got under his belt to compare. #headcanons #mawkin #chozo #txt #there's a reason the Mawkin make duelists strip down to the bare essentials when they fight over disputes like leadership #in the case of duels over the title of Warlord that reason is 'to ensure the sitting Lord has not grown soft with the wealth of amenities #at their disposal' #the conversion module is one of those things that's hard-wired into his.. #what's the word. cybernetics? Raven Beak has body mods but none of them are cosmetic. they're all for function. #but in any case it shouldn't come into play if he's duking it out with another Chozo in a spear fight. #his rivals for the seat don't have to deal with the immortal god-king who operates at peak efficiency 24/7: just Great Uncle Ashkar #and his fists #those are arguably scarier than the big cannon with its reactor turbines #you could charge this man like a phone #the mawkin were very invested in increasing their warriors' effectiveness in combat. and the suit is for more than just fighting #so a broad-spectrum high power module like that is highly valuable. #electricity. space radiation. charged miasma. you name it: he can probably 'plug in' to it. #he's not invincible and he can't exactly charge his suit in the heat of battle unless he's fighting in a location with great exposure #to charged matter or radiation. just don't fight him in a fallout zone and you're gucci. #i just had the image of him booking it for a nearby power plant to juice up in the middle of a fight snd it made me laugh #grampa's gotta get his talons in the good stuff before fighting it's like cranberry juice to him. it fixes everything. #'drink cranberry juice and eat radiation to get strong like me' -Raven Beak probably

Honestly the amount of people i've seen basically couch diagnosing taylor with like hysteria a mental breakdown/other mental health issues just bc you're not happy with her choices is like. Not it lol. Like seriously don't accuse people of having mental health issues especially when they're not giving any indications that its the case and it wouldn't be any of your business even if it was

#especially since the ppl sayibg this are the same people that are like ITS WRONG TO SPECULATE ABT SOMEONES SECUALITY lol and its not wrong #to accuse them of being mentally ill??? #like if you're unhappy with her dating matty either hold her accountable or don't but either way she's afaik a grown woman making her own #sane decisions don't act like thats the case #not* #also especially if its a woman you're accusing making her seem unhinged is gross when the person you're actually unhappy abt is the man

I keep forgetting how annoying it is to watch a currently airing show with a large fanbase on tumblr. Stop tagging the ship name with silly complaints that make no sense. How is that fun for anyone who just wants to browse the tag in peace?

"Ugh Luke saying they're acting like a married couple is fanservice." A child? Saying a variation of 'Annabeth and Percy kissing in a tree, k i s s i n g' lmao please be serious. THEY ARE KIDS, teasing each other. Were y'all never teased when you hung out with another kid and your friends noticed y'all were looking a little too friendly? Oh brother.

"They're pushing Grover to the side in favor or percabeth :(" Huh? Did you read the books? Grover (i love) barely does much. If anything the show is giving him way more to do and say. The actor who plays Grover I genuinely think is the best actor out of the three, he's doing a very good job. Any Pan mention, the moment he found Ferdinand, all great scenes.

"It's not a slow burn! They're already too flirty." Once again, children. They have only hugged and even though I'm a lunatic that is reading into everything because I love percabeth... Not a damn thing came out of that hug lmao there was no nervousness, no 'how do I act around her/him now that I've hugged him oh no' type feelings. She was happy he was ALIVE. Simple.

Also the actual actors are finding their footings with each other as each episodes go by so there's a naturally progression happening both on and off screen. The actors also have said again and again they read all the books so they know their characters are endgame and probably are playing into that a bit. Maybe they don't even realize they're doing it because they were TWELVE at time of filming.

I wonder why so many people are so bothered by show-percabeth especially if they're fans of the books. This couple is the IT couple. They are hyped. Their story, what they do and go through for each other is legendary lmao so what exactly is the real issue? Do you not want parallels to happen? Seeds planted, sOME smiling??? Do you not want Annabeths found family brother who witnessed her shove Percy into the ocean just not mention he notices they seem to have gotten closer?

Very peculiar...

#percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #percabeth #i have never understood the concept of tagging the ship you're not giving actual critique about but rather plain annoyance #whenever i had antis back when i had the time lmao i would tag anti ship name and tag the show name too #i tagged the show name if i was looking for actual discussion like am i seeing this wrong #but just straight up HATING?
