#massive shrug

[liesmyth]

There's a specific kind of feeling when someone you parted ways with badly is going through something upsetting, and you can't do anything except watch from a distance and feel useless.

It's like: my former friend is suffering and I should be there to offer support, but would that make it worse? would they appreciate it? should I go through a third party, or send an anon ask? I'm sorry you feel this way and I can't do shit to help, and I remember the good moments more than I could care about the bad, but I don't want to make your pain about me.

It's like grieving a lost relationship all over again

#i do feel like maybe this is more of a me thing than a universal thing #because the more i age the more i realise i'm truly a forgive and foget kinda bitch with relatively little pride #and PERSONALLY i'd be like. glad you're thinking about me! #but I also never want to upset ppl so #massive shrug

Added my anon hate and bad faith policy to the header, maybe it will save me some trouble in future

#used to have it on the pinned but right now the pinned is my mutual aid post so #massive shrug #anyway

Okay, okay, okay. Might be onto something here. Idk, I think. Maybe. (Still don’t have a style or consistent style...but eh, can’t have everything, right?)

Reading any book in the locked tomb series is like walking into a room hungover to find there’s a massive jigsaw puzzle going on in the room except you’re hungover and also a bomb recently went off in the room and you have to wait for your teammates (tam muir and also the characters) to bring you all the pieces in little fits and starts so you can begin to consider putting them together into the coherent whole they’re supposed to be but like. A bomb did go off and you are hungover and also at least one of your teammates, if not several of them, has started eating the puzzle pieces. So this might take a hot second.

#the locked tomb #the locked tomb series #tlt #tlt series #gideon the ninth #harrow the ninth #nona the ninth #that’s as best as I can describe it. #you can get most of the picture but there’s massive gaps and some are random and some are specific #and it’s hard to tell what’s left out bc shrug! and what’s left out bc it’s important

if I’m honest I’m kind of baffled that there’s anti-voting content going around. again. you cannot have forgotten so quickly how bad trump was and how hard the republicans tried to prevent you from voting. did you forget the russian bots??

#whatever #it’s genuinely disheartening to watch americans throw away their political influence over empty morals #in an election that could so easily destroy your own country’s politics too and that you can’t even vote in #alberta has been descending into authoritarianism especially around trans healthcare since 2016 #republican politics are becoming more and more popular in the federal government #when america shrugs and says actually it doesn’t matter if a fascist moron gets into office. both parties are the same. #it does send a message to right wingers internationally #it’s so frustrating. america’s cultural influence is so massive #yknow people here carry around the confederate flag and talk about their constitutional rights now. we don’t HAVE a constitution #anyway

it honestly makes me pretty emotional when i think about how comfortable i am with my sexuality because like as someone who grew up with a mom who has highly unproductive, southern baptist christian ideologies, the luxury of comfortably embracing my sexuality was never afforded to me growing up. even in high school, i was really sneaky about it. i’ve listened to my mom call my sister slurs, i’ve seen her threaten to kick her out many times, and i remember being like 11 and terrified of telling her that i lowkey was in fact looking up “girls kissing” on our half a core processor family desktop. and now it’s just like, when i zoom out of my life, im very blessed to look and see that i’m an independent, extremely gay woman who is able to comfortably kiss girls at parties, talk about lesbian relationships with my friends, plan on going to lesbian bars and gay bars and what may have you, all of it. i can’t even articulate the amount of times i hurt myself growing up trying to convince myself that i liked men, and i liked exposing myself to them and i liked how they made me feel — i felt disgusting, and tbh that really put a damper on how i understood myself, sexually. so on some sappy shit, like, i don’t think i ever truly became myself and got over a lot of that until i kissed another woman. to this day i don’t talk to my mom about my sexuality and really she doesn’t need to know who i’m fucking but she picks up on it and she still tells me that there’s time to repent. and you know what, there probably still is but i think 75+ years worth of pussy and soft touches and smelling a girl’s shampoo when her face is in the crook of my neck after a sexual experience that actually made sense, is worth whatever the hell comes after

#shrug #religious trauma is crazy but i’m chilling fr #mia what are you talking about #i’m thinking about this because i go home for thanksgiving and my mom has to face the realization that her daughter is getting gayer #and despite everything else that is such a massive disappointment to her #but honestly #she is definitely not my target audience to impress

I KNOW the tags are still a mess (for some stupid fucking reason) but here are some silly ideas I've had that I REALLY wanted to share !!!!

Shout out to kids who don’t know where the line is.

Shout out to kids who tell people things that other people said about them only to find out it was meant to be a secret

Shout out to kids who never got told what the difference between a swear and a slur was and thought that they were going to get arrested for hate speech when they accidentally yelled “turd”

Shoutout to kids who see a ward member drinking something they think might be tea and freaking out about their friend getting in trouble for breaking the wow

Shoutout to kids who accidentally ate a mocha flavored chocolate from a variety box and thought that they were gonna get in trouble

Shout out so kids who side eyed their parents when they bought cheese with a wine aged crust and wondered if they should tell them

Shoutout to me for accidentally drinking someone else’s soy latte in a coffee shop a month ago and only being a little freaked out by it.

Shoutout to kids who practice how they’re going to repent for their parent’s buying gas when needed on a Sunday

Shoutout to kids who where so hungry their parents bought them a packet of fruit loops and they felt like they needed to repent for it

Shout out to kids who dismiss their gender dysphoria as discomfort at being immodest in a swimsuit.

Shout out to touch starved kids who mistake the feeling of being touched on the head for the spirit during a blessing

Shout out to kids who only know how to clean large buildings but not smaller houses.

Shout out to pimos, you can get through this and I love you

Shout out to those people just on the edge, teetering, looking out the stained glass window and wondering if they can break it. You can do this. You can get out. It’s hard, and it’s a choice that only you can make, but I love you, I believe in you, and I am proud of you. Stay safe, keep struggling, keep surviving.

#I have no idea how many of these are common and how many aren’t #or which ones are exmo specific or not #shrug #exmo #exmormonism #pimos I am giving you a massive hug if you want it

Yara, have you ever eaten at Baratie?

"He is truly a first-rate chef. If I'm ever in the East Blue, I will have to stop by Baratie for a bite to eat."

Ask Yara (or any of my OCs) anything!

#oc: bravada yara #ask yara #my ocs #my art #asked and answered #yara and sanji are good friends and he does cook for/simp over her quite often lol #but at the same time there's zero romantic tension there and even the simping is done moreso out of respect #(and out of the fact that she is indeed a very attractive woman lol) #but she's completely off-limits and he gets that #she either suffered a massive loss or she's married with a kid depending on the timeline so *shrugs*

what’s your opinion on kyman? I don’t like it but it keeps popping up on my page, and I’m trying to avoid kyman artists

Swings my office chair around w my hands folded together in dramatic lighting. I have quite a bit to say about this actually

So as a huge Kyle enjoyer there's certain things about this pairing that makes me feel like it's really unfair for him and honestly just bad for his health ngl. I could go on a whole spiel but I won't, this ain't about him.... specifically lol

But on the other hand...they ARE friends. I know it's kinda hard to swallow this truth but they CAN also be calm and peaceful together it is just rare....so idk. And I guess people enjoy the way they gravitate towards each other...whether that be for better or for worse. I think for me it depends on how it's being portrayed in the fan content. I don't ever seek it out myself but sometimes I come across stuff that I find cute or whatever. It's not my cup of tea though

Anyway I don't ship it myself and if I think about it too much I get upset lmfao but otherwise it's honestly not the woooorst ship I think u have to worry more about the way a person ships it (but honestly that can apply to basically everything). I truly understand avoiding it though, I have mostly negative feelings for it myself and truthfully I personally prefer them both with other people.

#veespeaks #every south park artists gets asked about their thoughts on this ship at somepoint #i just did not think it would happen Right Now #also Warning I follow Some. artists who draw it #i mean my following isn't a secret like lmao #Do I care much about this. not necessarily #i did unfollow someone for it but because they drew them in creepy ways #but I'm mostly follow for an art style so yah #i also am a person who thinks Cartman had a fucked up crush on him. but I don't think it's there anymore tbh #from my pov after show binging it kinda faded out so #i used to be a massive hater for it. now I'm selectively a hater. does that make sense... #i think I can coexist w the enjoyers if they're acceptable about it #idk idk my thoughts r just don't be weird and I won't care. shrugs #i just woke up if I worded this really ass I apologize

yknow, I was pretty baffled by pathologic 2′s choice to never explicitly tell artemy that he’s a doll. I mean his reaction is one of the most interesting things about him??? The fact that he decides to just continue living on anyway in the face of the absurdity of his life is so intriguing. Also one of the reasons why he and daniil are such good foils. 

BUT then I realized I could just headcanon the shit out of it and decide whatever I want to!! so here goes a theory with 0 canon substantiation. 

I choose to believe that Artemy knows from Day 1 that he’s just an actor in a play. Through both the theater of death stuff and the Day 12 prologue. He knows this, but because he cares for the Town so much, he doesn’t mind playing the role perfectly. So perfectly that he never breaks character unless he’s talking to Mark about his role while in the theater of Death. Like in pathologic 1, he’s so completely invested in the story that he doesn’t care that technically none of it matters. It has personal meaning to him, so it does matter. 

I know this is like. almost definitely not what the story is meant to be, but I think Artemy who’s too dumb to put together the pieces of what all the meta theater stuff means is less interesting than Artemy who KNOWS all of that but decides to live in spite of it. 

#i mean maybe im just misinterpreting patho 2 because im bad at reading #notably im terrible at remembering things so like. shrugging #take this with a massive grain of salt. #artemy burakh #pathologic #mop game #jeta posting

when did we as a society start w the "doubles of me don't exist uu guys are just crazy and stupid" / "if uu think uu love [character] uu need to check uurself into a psych ward because they only love me" all over again

#➳ the fool speaks #like ok uu can be uncomfortable w doubles . i purrsonally do nawt relate but if those are uur boundaries i will listen to them bc that is #basic respect . but uhm . can we . purrhaps . nawt be ableist about it and throw around insults like that . #this isn't directed at all btw i've just noticed a massive influx of doubles being referred to as non-existent/insane/crazy/delusional/etc #which . wasn't that part of dnis a few months ago ?? #shrugs #it just feels weird like ok idk man uu are ru.i and he's one of my main fragments or uur lyn.ette and even tho she's one of my lesser #fragments uu still don't want me to interact ? (RANDOM EXAMPLES) sure idm those are uur valid boundaries #but being called insane feels a little disheartening #and uu are allowed to be uncomfortable and i know for some it is highly distressing to interact w doubles which again . VALID . #but i think throwing an insult like that out there to somebun who maybe hasn't even followed uu yet . idk . . . #is this understandable ???? like is this making sense . am i uncomfortable for no reason . idk #ask to tag

the chances are minute because none of my fics have Made it Big (tm) but if i find out any of those cunts have been reposted somewhere im gonna raise hell because so much of that content is analogue and a vent for my existential dread ever since getting diagnosed with uterine tumours that hopefully dont develop into cancer lmao

#writing tag #i understand that its a weird outlet but consider: #character is dealing with pain. character gets comfort. character gets solution. #its been 20 years of constant agonising menstrual pain thats been shrugged off and now developed into a series of massive tumours #so ofc the blorbos are gonna get the Good Treatment while i suffer

[starlyht]

i laugh abt the height difference here bc i'm pretty sure the tav in-game height is well over his canon at best 5'5 height ??

#i wish they actually let you play with character heights the way dd2 cc does . #at best he's 5'5 . lmao . #surfacers are tall ! #5'5 is taller average for a drow . :/ #most of the party prob towering over him lmao . :/ #him shrugging like : why surfacers so fucking massive ? the better question . seems inefficient .
