please tell me i'm not the only one who does not interpret valle verde's messaging as pro-religion. please.

#ei.txt #valle verde #idk i've just seen commentary that is like. not clicking for me.#like i understand that religious horror can still be pro-religion but where do you see catholicism being presented as a truly good thing her #like matias is apparently surviving bc of jesus or whatever but that just doesn't immediately strike me as 1)#actually being the case and 2)#necessarily meaning it's a GOOD thing #idk how to word what i mean but it just doesn't seem like the messaging is actually saying being catholic is good #and it seems more like they're using distorted catholic imagery for like. horror.#you know????????#i don't even think it would be terrible if it WAS pro catholic but i've seen people taking it as pro catholic at the expense of other #religions. which i'm having trouble seeing but i could also be missing details idk #is this anything

"kabru doesn't even like laios"

meanwhile, kabru:

#i dont even mean this as a romantic thing necessarily its just people do not understand kabrus relationship w laios at all #he was chasing after laios the whole time how could you say he hates or doesnt like laios #labru #kabru #laios touden #dungeon meshi #anyway the characters and relationships in this series are so good and so complex but ppl are incapable of seeing past surface level #and its frustrating

deeply refreshing to see someone critical of Swift who also like, genuinely likes her. Like i'm neutral to positive on her, but the online discourse has been absolutely rancid. flipping between "Taylor Swift has never done anything wrong ever and she's a fucking genius" and "Taylor Swift is the worst lyricist of all time and also a bad person" is exhausting, so thank you for like. nuance or something lmao

not to make it serious for a sec but i genuinely think that being able to like things that are bad is really important. like I think that it's an important skill to be able to look at something and see what you personally enjoy about it and then take a step back and acknowledge that objectively it's flawed. and to also be able to acknowledge that liking something isn't necessarily an identity or a moral stance. and i think that fandom space in general could really benefit from more people taking the time to learn how to do that. it's okay to like things that are bad

#people ask me sometimes why ill occasionally talk about something i like and then go 'but it's bad' and the answer is usually because it is #i love teen wolf. i love genshin impact. i love detective conan. and i fucking LOVE taylor swift. that doesnt mean theyre good #it just means i like them. and recognizing their flaws actually helps me better identify what i like about them!#it's like. in my mind bad > good is the x axis and i like it > i dont like it is the y axis yk. they're not mutually exclusive #tldr it's not that serious. we can all relax a little #irt taylor swift i do also think she has done some real harm to her fans in enabling them to deflect all criticism of her as misogyny #and i don't think it's fully the fault of these people who are parroting that response bc so much of her marketing has deliberately #reinforced this idea that to be a swiftie is to be a part of a sisterhood and that any attack on taylor is an attack on all of those women #who are in that in-group. when that's obviously not the case. but she's marketed herself as. for lack of a better term. 'girl music'#to the point where it makes her fans feel as though any criticism of the music or the woman responsible for it is an attack on their #personal experience of womanhood/girlhood/sisterhood/etc. and that's how you get all of thess bad-faith accusations of misogyny #i don't necessarily think this was her deliberate goal with her marketing tho because like. on first glance such a strong sense of communit #among fans sounds like a great thing. the friendship bracelets i got at the eras tour movie are really genuinely special to me.#but it does present a problem when your fans are unable to separate how they feel about the community and experience your music has fostere #from how they feel about you as a person. especially when you are a billionaire who absolutely CANNOT be above criticism in this economy #anyway. tldr i love taylor's music and i don't think swiftie hivemind is as deliberately malicious as it may seem #but it's obviously necessary to be able to take a step back and look objectively at what you're participating in.#anyway stream ttpd or don't idc <3 #taylor swift

It’ll all go fine if you’d just don’t worry about it, probably (Patreon)

#Doodles #Handplates #UT #Fellplates #Gaster #Toriel #And technically Sans and Papyrus are offscreen in that last one but they're there!#Starting with a dress because Gaster always needs some pretty clothes!#His cute little angel wings expanded into a shawl :D With a feather-themed dress as well #I was thinking he'd look good in a bleeding-heart pigeon getup - just a little on the nose symbolism hehe - but it'd be very stark as well #But I mean Monsters don't bleed it's fine probably it's just a pop of bright red! Doesn't mean anything!#Thinking about the symbolism of his decorative wings normal-like as well...and of Gerson talking about the Angel of Death.....hmmmm #I'm sure it's nothing haha :)#Thinking again about Toriel taking issue with Gaster's new hole punches but not necessarily of her knowing what they mean #He has to be careful how much he shares of his progress! If she knew what might she make of him? Of them?#Two new little things to be subjugated? Or worse? All the more reason to keep them secret #I like both so much but hmmm he also wouldn't be held as accountable if he kept them secret #It's interesting as well - Gaster had a lot of growing pains with his experiments initially - I wonder how much Fell!Gaster struggled?#He always seems so placid and put together but surely Something breaks him - hard to avoid where and how he is now #Maybe not forever but just for a moment! A moment of weakness is all it takes after all ♪#All the more reason to have safeguards in place!#Like teaching the boys how to heal! :0 Fellplates!Gaster would be able to heal wouldn't he? But nobody else could haha #Would the boys be able to from the beginning? Or do Fell Monsters have to develop it? :0 Through inaction or through intention? Hm ♪#It'd be nice proof of concept if they could heal :) No time like the present!

I keep thinking about the scene where a couple of airmen are talking and say that Rosie must be lucky to survived as long as he has only for Jack to be like - show Robert Rosenthal the respect he deserves 😤 best pilot to EVER fly a B-17 😤 you just have a skill issue 🤚 be better! You will never be HIM ✌️

#jack is SO real for this #i too would defend rosie rosenthal with this level of intensity #the funny thing is thing is that they weren't necessarily being mean they just said he was lucky #and jack is like NO IDIOT!!!! he's just that good #ch: rosie #ch: kidd #jack kidd #rosie rosenthal #robert rosenthal #rosie mota #jack kidd mota #kidd mota #masters of the air #tv: masters of the air #jack talks

i bet it takes yaz like 6 months to go back to the support group after the first time and then only after the entire groupchat has been bugging her about it for weeks

#bc by then everyone else knows so they make it so 14 is there #which the opinions are probably split abt whether thats a good idea but #i mean most people there dont know yaz #so if it's just like ryan whos like no this new doctor is great i think it'd be good for yaz #most people wouldnt have strong opinions is my point #i think they'd weigh in but like #shes not their friend of most of them #anyway might write this tonight since im thinking abt it now #the opinions are probbaly split abt whether they want him there at all but i dont think it's a common thing necessarily #they just know he exists hesnot really invited #just this time bc ryan is like yaz needs to just meet him once maybe i'll go badly but lets just try

questions...

#good omens spoilers #gos2spoilers #good omens season 2 #good omens #goodomensedit #crowley #gifs #og post #was skimming through all of good omens s2 for muriel screenshots (want to study face. want to draw)#and i was reminded of how crowley phrases his comment to muriel #and i felt like a lightbulb went off in me brain #like i don't think its necessarily intentional or means anything but #crowley encouraging muriel 2 ask questions. that questions are okay.#the same fucking thing that got him thrown outta heaven #(also it got me rotating a post by @bemusedlybespectacled in me brain once more about angels being in an environment that cultivates #their gullibility. because questions = bad. i just rbed it again)#anyway all these gifsets are just the product of me being inordinately obsessed with a live action media and also suffering from art block #like drawing fanart of real guys is hard let alone when i can barely draw fake guys #anyway #im trying. i have ideas. i just have to. do it

like idk. personally if the ex military buzzcut guy with a dead wife tersely told me that i didn't know what the wasteland was like before the colonial entity he was raised up in got their hands on it and that the ncr was actually "civilizing it" or whatever. and i then pieced together that he had been conditioned by the military he was a part of to mercy kill and is therefore very against that now but also definitely did that to his wife. and he then informed me that i should leave him behind because he was literally incapable of not shooting anyone in certain faction armour indiscriminately. my response would not be to try dating him. even if i did not know about the specific war crimes he'd done yet.

#not tagging bc these are just further thoughts inspired by a papakhan post (a good post!)#but. yeah idk it's interesting #i'm not even a boone hater i'm...... a secret third thing #i think i'm maybe just against romanticizing his bald ass lol #but i think that if one needs to like... soften the ideologies of both participants in a ship #in order for that ship to work at all #that is worthy of note innit #this has me thinking about the bg3 ships i hate LMFAO #i'm like halsin and astarion should not be within 50 feet of each other. stop it. get some help.#it's irksome. i am irked.#i also am fond of many improbable ships but i think that like #they work if one approaches them realistically ig #instead of doing that softening #which. will probably make them fully miserable LMFAO #misery is interesting. i'm not necessarily anti misery.#i mean i don't /always/ want to witness the misery but.

pondering on a meta diving into Gale's abstract brand of selflessness (willingness to go away to a corner of the world to die so that none of the faceless masses will be harmed by his mistake) vs his personal selfishness (willingness to stick by tav despite being repulsed by tiefling camp murder + general vocal approval or interest in accumulating more power) and Gale's status as someone who is good aligned but generally ineffectual at enforcing actual good (the way that wyll or karlach will actually leave the party) which is fascinating for a fairly good-aligned person. just love when the Good Guy is actually kind of fucking weird. edit: tumblr cut off my tags Okay. and how all of this ties back in an interesting way to his relationship and power imbalance with mystra. he was wronged, deeply, but he also desires still that ... status / closeness to divinity in some way, by her influence. Gale thinks that he would be a better god simply by virtue of his mortality but he cannot escape the appeal of holding himself apart from others and being more than, greater than, something closer to godliness and thus inherently removed from mortal values and standards of right and wrong, which the gods themselves don't adhere to in the same way.

#it's just one of those things that's really compelling about his character to me in terms of ...#Gale hesitates with the shadow lantern not really because he's put off by the magic #in fact if a sorcerer Tav condemns dark magic he rebukes it and argues that all magic is inherently neutral; some simply more #frowned upon than others #He appreciates good acts. he'll say We Should Do The Good Act. but he's not going to really fight FOR doing the right thing the way #others might; and when you get beyond the act itself he can very quickly rationalize #necessity. or mistake. or the value of power + strength behind it.#the dichotomy between his fearful willingness to die at Mystra's behest while not really tamping down his interest in power and survival #that peers out and I think (?) feels almost obfuscated behind his eloquence and his manners and charm and general clockability as a #guy who approves of good things.#and there are things he says & does that are further beyond the expectations of what you might expect from someone who is 'good'#the initial interest in a deal with Raphael; the approval of taking tadpoles despite the uncertainty and possible cost; the acknowledgment #that powerful forms (slayer form or ascending astarion) will be useful onward #His Fucking Speech to Tav after the grove slaughter where he's outraged and disgusted but can be swayed to stay #he's so... sunk cost fallacy too I think. at some point the ends must surely justify the means right #and his God of Ambition thing is sooo compelling because it really drives to the max the part of gale's personality that is always there #but obfuscated by his immediate insistence that he's a moral person right. you know him to be of sound judgement. trust him.#He likes seeing good happen and he's happy to go along with doing good things and he'll #state his opinion when he thinks something EVIL is happening. but he's not necessarily #going out of his way here either if tav isn't -- and to be fair game mechanics technically mean #no one is - but we can read from Wyll/Karlach removing themselves from the situation #(need to double check but can't Wyll also leave a slayer dark urge?)#that they CAN go out of their way #Wizard Apathy Baby! you feel benevolent toward others but you crave what is beyond humanity and #deeply rooted in the arcane; which you see as beyond too basic concepts of 'good' vs 'bad' magic; neutrality that sways with intent #you trust good actions but you didn't ACTUALLY use your power at the time For Others either; you probably could have but #you craved MORE. something BETTER.#and there's a lot there in how that interacts with his relationship to mystra too #his desire to achieve something closer to godliness and both thinking that he can do better because he's mortal but at the same time #has proven that he can separate himself or his technical moralities from a situation if it means exploration of power/knowledge Beyond

in conclusion the most poignant thing about ruina is its running theme of Imperfection. imperfection, focused not on its flaws, but on the miracle of it existing to begin with. imperfection not as a failing, but as a triumph. its cracked, broken, deeply in need of repair-- but it's real and its ours and it exists. despite everything it exists and that enough is a relief beyond words, beyond expression. to present a toppled structure not as a conclusion, but an opportunity.

its the choice-- and the joy-- of looking forward, unflinchingly, and facing it. one step at a time.

#piktalk #projmoon #didnt want to . make a bigger tagwall than i already made . ae if ur reading this uhhhhhh sorry <33 hai KSJNFD #anyway one of these days i might get th voice to really truly put down everything and what it means in regards to . [motions w hands]#but this ones just on my mind right now. something abt the presentation of ruina just fucking Kills and this is the big reason why #ilike. had to take a good couple hours after th finale to just simmer with it. because well..#again. its imperfection. every other story has such stark; lined up beats and paths and Messages Youre Supposed To Take #which ive spoken on before-- and it isnt a bad thing necessarily! but it does really speak something; quietly;#for those whose development Isnt That Neat. that Isnt That Kind. to themself or to others. im no expert; but it really does mean something #that ruina is written in such a way where there is no 'this is wrong and heres how they fix it to be forgiven'#or 'this is right and what everyone should do to be a Good Person'#angela simply Is. roland simply Is. they all simply Are. they make choices; have hopes; dreams; things they care about--#and theres no overarching echo of What Should Be. simply what people do; and what people hope for.#um. anyway. tag wall again; in conclusion: Why Dont You Go Listen To Poems Of A Machine And Maybe Then Youll Calm Down

mumbo’s grown into such an amazing builder ♥️♥️♥️ he’s so cool ♥️♥️

he’s always been better than he thinks but he’s really grown into it now. like i remember looking back that . in season 5 his seaside town project. it wasnt. great. like we knew what it was but… it was so bland. very 2017. part of that was the biome, sure, and it was also very much a secondary project at the end of the season, but the megabase was all prismarine and quartz and clean lines. geometry. hard to detail - except for the storage system and the aquarium and he popped off with those. but he didnt get time or really.. have the skills? to grow it all to its full potential.

and then in season 6 everything was all hypermodern/futuristic clean lines again that detailing isnt really possible with. he did well with what he could detail, but everything was so smooth, it was hard.

and season 7 it was basically.. just one big build. again, he did really well with it, but it was such a monolith that it was hard to add these tiny details to it. and there was no easy way to look closely? no real places to add them. the golden heart is the exception here.

season 8 we saw the start of something incredible, with the arm chair mountain. the tiny houses on the cliffside were there to provide colour. but they were… empty. again, i get why, and i dont know how to add something to them other than to maybe up the scale and that wouldve been REALLY hard.

we didn’t see much of him in season 9, but he fell back on the geometric designs and clean lines. it looked good! i loved the colour scheme. but the most detailed part of that build was the moat. the screeching crevice. and no one really looked at that after it was all built up.

but he didnt lose the skills from s8. in fact, he improved them.

because now we’re here and he’s making concept art and detailing with shadows and odd block choices and. i honestly think. if he puts his mind to it and keeps this up. we’ll have another heavy hitting builder. this build feels alive. it feels real.

#my post #SORRY FOR BEING NOT NORMAL ABOUT MUMBO but also im NOT AT ALL SORRY #i just. ive been watching this guy since i was like 12. you dont go that long and not start. caring about the guy?#anyway #theres a whole nother post not really implied at all in here about how youtubers get put in a box and MUST stay there even if they show they #are more than capable of fitting in a completely different box #etho’s still called primarily a redstoner despite being a fantastic builder and . well once upon a time he was good at pvp #i feel like this is gonna happen and to an extent is happening with mumbo too #you say mumbo jumbo and people will go ‘oh the redstone guy’ and people will continue to say that forever?#it’s not necessarily a bad thing i just think people are more complex than that #mumbo IS a builder. mumbo IS a redstone engineer. hes both #gem managed to pull off the mutlitalented building/pvp skillset. but pvp is a different type of skill #i dont know. i dont know. someone will know what i mean #mumbo jumbo #hermitcraft

it really is so wild that discussions about video games and accessibility gets otherwise leftie people into saying some wildly ableist shit. the sensitivity around accessibility in difficulty settings (because so often other features like colorblind modes and various graphic adjustments, text size, ability to play one-handed and other adaptions to accommodate for physical disability get completely ignored or actively sidelined) for notoriously hard games is particularly egregious. the amount of people who will outright say that no, actually art doesn’t need to be accessible, and if i personally don’t believe you’re getting the authentic, intended experience of a game, it’s better that you not get to experience it yourself rather than get a “”compromised”” experience. genuinely astounding. i’m sorry your gamer ego gets bruised by more people playing your favorite game in a way you don’t like and you might not be seen as special for finishing it. however to quote rene descarte: who give a shit. get over it.

#saying this as an enjoyer of games like funger and darkest dungeon and elden ring. get over it #you do not get to dictate what people can and cannot play based on ability and yes it is bad when things are inaccessible #accessibility features don’t even necessarily mean it’s going to be ~easier~ it just means things are an option for more people which #is a good thing btw. accessibility is a good thing why are you such a little bitch about this particular hobby needing to be hyperexclusive #i hate nerds and gamers man jfc #bees.txt

really understanding my very old recipe books where theres one weird ingredient thrown into everything, for no clear reason... like i get it now. my mom sent me home with a jar of lemons she pickled and im putting those guys in salads. im putting them in polenta. im putting them in rice pilaf. why ? cause i have it. and its good. if i had few spices but one specialty thing i could reliably get ahold of id go apeshit with that one thing too

#im specifically thinking abt how garum is in like every single roman dish #its a fermented fish sauce iirc ?#sounds vile. pickled lemons sound pretty bad too tho #cooking #the other thing is a lot of historical cuisine (i mean and modern stuff too) is based on the principal of #the base food (grains usually) is bland af and i will put in any vaguely edible thing thats got flavor #doesnt have to be good flavor necessarily #and then your kids grow up eating it and thats what they make too

btw sexuality labels do not have to be super specific with strict boundaries of what "qualifies" as being that sexuality. you do not have to base how you define your sexuality on the first description that comes up on google; history, culture, the nuances of personal experience, and what you feel connected to are just as important a part of how you choose to identify!

#brought to you by a lesbian continously annoyed at the 'non man loving non men' description of lesbianism #i used to think i had to wall myself off from being attracted to certain genders in order to continue identifying as a lesbian #but like. gender is weird and silly and so is sexuality!!#this isn't something i'm the most knowledgeable on but to my understanding before lesbian separatism the term lesbian was used a bit #differently than it is today - being attracted to men didn't make someone not a lesbian #which i like! cus i identify a lot with (especially femme) lesbian history #i like queer masculinity! in the particular way that is common for femme lesbians #to me being a femme lesbian describes my experience with the way i feel within myself and the way i love queer masculinity. it doesn't feel #contradictory to me to be in relationships with men. i luuuuv my boyfriends and #me being a lesbian doesn't mean i don't or that i don't see them as men or anything #i am not particularly good at the whole Social Constructs thing due to autism so that probly plays into it #it is all confusing and i don't necessarily understand some of it (even my own identities) but i go with what makes me feel like me #^-^#meg (boyfriend) saw this post and said ''i used to think i wasn't attracted to men. i was just looking at the wrong men''#which is sooo true
