#maybe depends on your definition

[avemstella]

This is a terrible thing to post on Scara's birthday (happy birthday my son!), but I finished it today and the irony was too funny pfft. The Dottore Alice wedding was a miserable time for all but maybe the bride and groom and sort of the Tsaritsa. Ajax elsewhere still has the light in his eyes and has no idea what's coming haha.

(what is their ship name... Dottolice... Alottore...Alik...Zandice... I think I like the last one the best but there's other combos too)

(also if it isn't clear, Alice is a couple months pregnant with Klee here haha)

#smfwtwd #fic stuff #my art #alice and dottore will never not be funny to me #its just so fucking fascinating they are truly the dynamic I want to look at under a microscope #like do I truly ship them? #maybe depends on your definition #but damn I find the idea of them as klee's parents an idea above all others #ppffft if the two of them ever actually interact and people ship them and find this post #god what an illegible mess it would be hahahaa #tbh for the people who just followed me because of the furina fic its also a confusing mess for them too lol

seeing personality disorder discussion on the dashboard. the impulse to share all the self-therapy books and tools we have has never been stronger

#our files are so disorganized but we have a bunch of them saved to a dropbox file #the clinical model is letting you all down. if we had our shit together we would welcome you into the warm embrace of our radical ideology #but in the meantime if you all are interested in free books to start managing your own recovery with or without a therapist #let us know #call it an interest check #we love piracy and we especially love doing it for our friends #we have podcast recs and links to some really foundational CPTSD recovery pieces too #we can maybe tell you what approaches to check out depending on what you need because that's hard to know without a lot of research #personality disorders aren't actually clearcut definitions so much as they are expressions of trauma that have been unnecessarily categoriz #they are prescriptive and serve power rather than the person who has them and fail to take the actual mechanics of trauma into account #the DSM-V would shrink to thirty pages if it reflected the growing understanding of CPTSD and maybe therapy would actually work #but in the meantime we have ourselves and we have each other #and we have free books #idk just let us know

MGSV really is *so* misogynistic it is honestly hard to believe. It has ONE named female character, just one. And holy shit, the things they make that single woman do.

I don't know what happened. Or how Kojima thought what we was doing was defensible.

I could just link to the introduction of the SKULL snipers from Mission 28 Code Talker but even that I feel is so unbelievable to see with your own eyes that it would exit the mind as soon as it stopped playing.

Literally every criticism made during that era toward's this game is accurate. Every single one.

It might legit be the WORST example of "male gaze," literally literally ever. Out of everything.

If MGSV had outright no women in it whatsoever it would be better than what this is.

The cutscene for when Big Boss comes to Mother Base after not showering was what sealed it for me.

And the fact that there were people back then who thought they could defend this perhaps makes it even more deranged.

#mgsv #completely incoherent post #I love love love playing this game but holy shit #It is fucking unbearable. #Play it on your computer with the mod 'Take Me of the Grid + No More Timers + Free Deployment' installed #The game is legitimately hot garbage without it. #what the fuck happened to result in the difference between how woman are treated in this game and then...

if you are 1) currently in a university where your student healthcare covers hormone therapy, and 2) in a good financial, emotional, and social position to start hormone therapy, i would recommend pursuing it. because in my experience, it's a huge pain in the ass to get an endocrinologist once you're on your own

#unless you live near a planned parenthood or another equivalent to that #but in general you might as well take advantage of the mandatory student health insurance while you have it #it's also cheaper than you might expect. my vials cost $40 CAD for 4 months and then the injection materials are like a couple dollars each #for me i got a therapist with the university and asked them to recommend me to one of the uni's doctors #so i got to skip some of the waitlisting process yay #and then even after getting access to hormones i went to the clinic maybe 5 or 6 times because i needed a nurse to help me with injections #all of which was 'free' because it was with the university #now that i'm graduated though i need to find a new endocrinologist and it turns out the process is WAY more complicated on your own 🤡 #of course your mileage may vary depending on how based your school is but it's definitely worth checking imo 🤷 #beepbeep.txt #wanted to say this because i basically didn't use the uni health services until my last year and i was like 'wow #'i'm actually getting so much shit for free right now' #like i was seeing a therapist and a dietician and the endocrinologist and a nurse simultaneously at one point #and i might've missed out on all that if i didn't have someone tell me how easy it was to get help if you ask the right questions #so there's my word of wisdom for anyone who might benefit from it....... #also going to post tips about injections later because i think that would also help people out 👍

Oho! Six Sentence Sunday? I don't know her. Ten Sentence Sunday, however, seemed appropriate given the content of the sentences. (You'll see)

From A Dangerous Affinity, written ages ago, but now nearly at the point of being integrated into the text instead of hanging off of the edge of the story unconnected and yet deeply adored. Baz POV.

“C’mon Baz. Ten minutes.” He’s already shifting toward me, shoulders aligning with mine in invitation.  It twists fire from my toes up to my throat. “Fine. Fine. Ten minutes.”  His fingers slide up my cheeks and he licks into my mouth and I press back. I open to him. ...it’s more than ten minutes.

I continue to be on a good writing streak. I've written every day for ... three weeks? Sometimes words in my Agatha/OFC smutty thing, which I'm really enjoying writing, but more often than not right into ADA. (Which superseded 115k words this week! 🎉🎉🎉🎉)

My friends, thanks for the tags @hushed-chorus and @stitchyqueer ! And everyone else, wanna share some sentences with me? Maybe not even something you've written recently. Something from an old beloved story, perhaps? Or if that's not it for you today (or ever), then consider this an offer of a hug if you want one.

@thewholelemon @confused-bi-queer @raenestee @facewithoutheart @cutestkilla @sillyunicorn @you-remind-me-of-the-babe @basiltonbutliketheherb @ileadacharmedlife @asocialpessimist @bookish-bogwitch @aristocratic-otter @captain-aralias @petedavidsonscock @takitalks @yeonjunenby @carryonvisinata @takenabackbytuesdays @martsonmars @nightimedreamersghost  @chen-chen-chen-again-chen  @ionlydrinkhotwater @aroace-genderfluid-sheep ​ @shrekgogurt @forabeatofadrum   @palimpsessed @fatalfangirl ​ @blackberrysummerblog ​ @valeffelees



#six sentence sunday #ten minute sunday #a dangerous affinity #snowbaz #they cannot resist each other #don't make them try #it will not end well #unless ... i mean #maybe it will end well #depending on your definition of well #(I think you know what I'm getting at) #(just not in the actual text of ADA) #(which despite smutty side stories remains firmly in the teen rating realm)

[snarkspawn]

For your commissions, do you draw animals? Like could I ask for my Warden and her Mabari together? Thank you for your time :)

Oh, very good question, thank you! I hadn't considered that haha

But yes! Animals/pets/familiars in general and Mabari in particular are very much welcome :]

#I wouldn't price them as a full additional character #maybe +50% instead of +75%. and depending on the size and complexity less than that still #that is something we can discuss on an individual basis #but yeah definitely let me draw your OCs best boys and girls too! #replies #anon

oksies hi starting a new thread of get to know you

haii I'm moth and also thea you may call me any nickname as well <3

I love musicals so so much (niche and popular!! basic-shaming is lame)

I am superhero obsessed (augh pied piper)

doctor who is my autism (yay river sonf!!!!)

good omens heoughhhhhhhh

super excited to meet you <3333333

Hi moth!! You can call me tetra. Don't worry that's not my real name or anything tho. I took it from the concept of tetrachords in music.

If we're generous about what we call superheroes, then maybe most of the things I like are superhero based. I mean obviously there's marvel and dc, but then there's stuff like dpxdc, sonic the hedgehog (idk if I've ever heard him called a superhero but he kinda is), if we count magical girls then like. Sailor moon and madoka magica

I haven't seen any episodes of good omens, but I read a really good fanfic of Crowley going to therapy a while back, and a couple funny ones with like yelp reviews of Aziraphale's bookstore. Plus I love the good omens analysis posts on here. I feel like maybe I half know some of what's happened in the show but also probably haven't scratched the surface. I'm kinda bad at watching TV shows, so there's a lot of stuff that I know from fandom but haven't seen. For another example of that, I've only watched one or two episodes of Sonic Prime. I reblog posts for it and it sounds good but idk. Just bad at it.

I'm a much more casual fan of musicals, I think for the same thing as above where I just struggle to sit and watch something on purpose. But I listen to the music from them sometimes, I've read transcripts online of a couple, and i swoon whenever I see a post analyzing the meaning of a musical song, especially when they go beyond lyrics and start going into the music theory in the tune. I don't have the skills or knowledge to do that myself but I love it so much

(when the singer changes their technique to enhance the meaning,, when this or that chord is a step outside the key to symbolize change or isolation or anything,,, using instruments as symbols for this or that character,,, tbh it doesn't have to be a musical even shout out to that youtube video by Scruffy on how fnaf's audio and sound effects make it scarier)

Lately I've been bouncing back and forth between Sonic and DPxDC. With hints of Slay The Princess in there bc I saw part of a playthrough of that awhile ago and loved the concept. I reblog madoka magica stuff whenever I see it (except magia record bc I know next to nothing about it) because that stuff makes me lose my mind. The love the pain the hope the despair!! Homura is probably like my ultimate blorbo but I love all the five girls they're so cool. I actually read the manga instead of watching the show though so I'm not as familiar with all the music. Plus I think the show had some extra scenes. Although it's a little confusing bc I think some of the extra scenes I see are magia record so idk.

Also I'm a fan of arts and crafts and will reblog that kind of thing once in a while, along with cute cat stuff.

Super excited to meet you too!

#sorry about the late response. got nervous and then put it off for awhile #hopefully it's a good one though? #it's unedited bc if i think stop and think harder/worry more now i'll never escape the think stage and i will post nothing #and i don't wanna do that #if there's anything you wanna know just ask #actually maybe i should think of some questions for you #oh like who's pied piper? i haven't heard of a superhero with that name just the child-stealing legend #unless you consider that guy a hero which like. i guess you could interpret it like that? teaching the value of not exploiting your workers #and i've read at least one story based on the legend where he takes the children somewhere nice #i feel like stealing children is not the ideal solution to that issue but it is a bit iconic if you think about it right #maybe he couldve taken some crops instead tho like thats the village income. it'd be more similar to money than kids. #i mean i guess in those days kids were also workers. and somewhat exploited generally. #so i guess i could see it as the guy getting exploited and then grabbing all the other exploited workers in town #i'm not really a history buff am i off base with this theory completely #i know kids used to have to work to help their families and that there are child labor laws for a reason #but also. not like there was a ton of free entertainment in the olden times. #i mean the parents almost definitely didnt pay kids money but chores aren't exploitation #maybe i should leave this up to interpretation #or just say it depends on situation and some kids probably were exploited while others weren't #hmm. this whole thing is probably just bs. i don't know what i'm talking about #oh well i hope you didn't mind it

outta curiosity: from all the Accidentally Undercover AUs, which Dusk/Dawn/Robin would be the most dangerous to encounter on a mission (from a rival agent/civilian's perspective)?

Going through the sub au masterlist to compare quick vibes for them all - there's a few easy criteria to first get out of the way.

Most dangerous are definitely the senior field agents - newbies are more lighthearted and playful, and while that comes out more in the rivalry it also applies to rival agents/ other hostiles/ civilians who decide to interfere somehow to a lesser degree as well. (Dealing with civilians who simply saw too much is not part of their job description, so they don't bother unless they have to, and then they have to play nice). Field agents is simply a given - whats a lab tech gonna do? command center doesn't even interact with non fellow agents.

But out of senior agent Robin, Dawn, and Dusk, who's the most dangerous?

It's Dusk.

Now, I half expected it to be Dawn, because we all love rival Dawn and his claws and teeth on display. But Dawn, ultimately, is an undercover agent, and very aware of consequences and not drawing too much attention.

Robin, dangerous as they are, is still human, and limited in strength and size. The most dangerous thing is to underestimate them, which does happen, but they're not superhuman. No perks like thermal vision or integrated tasers.

Dusk, on the other hand? Dusk only encounters hostiles when he has to get past them, with no social contract to adhere to. If there's an encounter where he has to fight, there's little thought of leaving behind no evidence (cleanup handles that) or not alerting other people (he'll just get rid of those, too). Dusk can go all out. He does, and as senior agent he has hardened past his playfulness, and he's so used to not holding back that he instinctively flashes his taser at Robin. As agent he doesn't have to be nice or polite (usually, and he's not good at it when he has to), and that will definitely translate into how he handles anyone who tries to make his job harder than it has to be.

So yeah, if you run into any of them, you might talk your way out of a fight with Dawn, you might somehow evade or disarm Robin, but piss of Dusk and he'll decide the easiest course of action is making sure you don't do that again and deal with the fallout later

#answer let luce #anonymous #accidentally undercover #dcamv #was gonna say maybe the fez agents from the secret timelines (well; more “wasnt sure if people on tumblr are interested” timelines) #but fez agents are wet blankets so they immediately are out #you dont wanna meet any of the senior agents when you pissed them off #but Dusk is definitely the one who shrugs and then just bursts into action without giving you a chance to talk #depending on his mood and circumstances he might bait you into a chase #but we all know how those end #a cat likes playing with his food but in the end it's still food #and your fate was sealed when you made yourself a target #wanted to answer this yesterday but then bounty hunter brain hit gfdhsj hope the fun was worth the wait <3

for a game with so many comas in it yakuza really doesn’t seem to fully understand how comas work

#generally. you can’t just. be wheeled out somewhere while in a coma #like #depends on why you’re in a coma and what part of your body has been damaged but. yeah generally people get intubated and put on a ventilator #because breathing is easily/greatly impacted by that deep a state of unconsciousness #on top of that if you’re in a coma any significant amount of time you’d almost definitely need a catheter at least #point is you can’t just. wheel people around when they’re comatose for a significant amount of time (ie longer than like. a few hours maybe) #(at most) #I get that it’s for dramatic effect but #yeah. just something I keep noticing cause so many people go into comas in this game #rambling #yakuza #rgg

Ok hang on, if the pants are like that because he wouldn’t wear a shirt due to sensory issues, then does the iconic cloak also bother him or, as you said with the sweater, it’s loose and big and maybe the material is just right that it’s comfortable for him? Now I wanna know what them cloaks is made of, I’ve seen a couple of various interpretations on the cloak, mostly being that it just kept as much of him unseen as possible, acted as a kind of thermal blanket to hide his body temp, etc. but I’m curious how this could fit into that equation. To me the cloak is as iconic to him as his leggings so I had to ask.

I like to think the cloak took some Workshopping to get right.

I think, especially when he was younger, the focus was more on keeping him hidden and everything seemed so Serious and Scary that he just kinda put up with it (despite the discomfort), especially with how insistent Dolorosa would've been (for his safety, of course.)

Eventually, though, it finally came up that it Sucked and he Hated It, so they went through a few more renditions before finding something that was okay.

His in-canon cloak seems to be bunched up in the front, across his chest and above where his elbows bend- which strikes me as kind of an odd design choice? I draw it more so the weight gathers and hangs from the base of his neck rather than his shoulders (like a normal cape/cloak). I guess the criss-crossing of it would probably help with weight distribution in this context as well.

In terms of material, though that's a bit tougher.

I feel like the Default for sweaters is wool, but if anyone approached me with a wool sweater I would Bite Them. So I always figured Kankri's sweater was some sort of blend of cotton and silk or something. I'd consider that a good material for texture/weight, and it would drape well in the context of a sweater.

So, taking that, I'd imagine Signless's cloak was probably something similar? Unsure of how readily available cotton would've been, but I imagine, with all the Moth Motifs and Various Other Bugs, silk would be Excessively Available to a Jadeblood. (or at least, the know how on how to gather/make/use it.) I don't know that a pure silk cloak would be great for travel purposes, though.

#catman asks #silk's prettty resilient though so Maybe #the thought of it hiding his body temperature did occur to me #but I feel like that's dependent on the hc that the vantases have a super high body temp for some reason? #i'm not exactly sure where that came from but I'm not really big into it #also i feel like; to anything that's reading body temps; hiding yours is IMMEDIATELY suspicious #i feel like it's functionality is probably mostly based on hiding him though #visually; i mean #but that cloak is Definitely iconic #my knowledge of fibers is pretty average; if I find something i think is relevant; i'll come back and update this #hs ac bonus #kankri vantas #signless

weird experience of feeling very strongly that "i don't want these pants, I have no interest in them, they're expensive, and theres no reason for me to buy them" and then an EXTREMELY strong directly conflicting feeling of "no but i DO want them, i want them extremely badly, holy shit please can i just buy them, i have the money for it"

(aka me and another headmate arguing over whether we should buy these pants bc i literally have zero interest in them and I think they're kind of ugly fdsjkl but he wants them so fucking bad)

#i think we will buy the pants but i'm just worried i'm wrong but like i keep getting the urge to cry at the thought of not buying the pants #so i think. there is no way i am wrong about him wanting them fdsjfkljkl i just worry #like. i still feel crazy half the time. i mean i am crazy depending on ur definition but HFSDFJKL u know what i mean maybe #idk it is just such an unsettling disconcerting experience of feeling emotions that u know are not yours #like i think these pants are ugly. i will not lie. they are ugly and i have no interest in them #and yet. there is the feeling of crying and screaming if we do not buy them bc he wants them so badly. so. definitely not my own feelings. #roundtable stuff #pippen needs 2nd breakfast

the world when dc fans realise that sometimes people have different headcanons and ideas about characters and storyline and plots because comics inherently are kinda minimalistic + contradictory with lots of different possible reading and interpretations and that doesn't make someone else's opinion wrong just different and you don't have to hate on everything that you don't agree with:

#dc thoughts #mypost #this is supposed to be that like weird techy future meme but then like i don't like the world like that you know #why eutopia gotta look like that but anyway have this pretty pic instead #“these characters would be besties” / “no these characters would hate each other” #1. it depends very much on your interpretation on the character and storyline #2. our own inherent experience and the comics we happen to pick up very much affects our interpretations and that's okay #3. it ALSO depends on how the setup for them meeting is because surely you've all heard of right person wrong time #4. you don't like it doesn't make it impossible for EITHER scenarios but maybe chill out a little and project a wee bit less #just cos you love a character doesn't mean your other fave might and the same way just cos you hate a character doesn't mean your fave woul #anyway this is actually about steph and jason and someone saying they're extremely different i actually lost my mind a little #like sure they're definitely not super similar but acting like they have no similarity bcos you hate jason is another level of unhinged #sick and tired of dc fans sometimes #agree with me or you're wrong in a world where things have no absolute right or wrong and also is FICTIONAL #also also this doesn't hold for if your interpretation comes entirely out of nowhere and you've never read comics #if that has to be said
