I decided to go through my old warm-up notebooks from my honours english class and in one of the warm-up prompts, I said I wanted my superpower to be "controlling the effects of [my] puberty," and I'm glad to say that I've gotten that superpower. It took a very long time, but that's a superpower I can check off my list

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #ngl though i felt my very soul wince while reading some of them (including that) #in my old self's defense: i was incredibly dysphoric and had Many Unresolved Issues #i also wasn't really masking in that class and didn't know i should probably not be honest with my notebook #my teacher said that she'd only grade warm-ups we wanted graded and she'd only *potentially* read others 'for fun' #also i always didn't like the 'what superpower would YOU want?' question because. it just annoyed me to know it's impossible to have #(besides the puberty superpower lmao) #as much as i believe in being kind to your past self/selves that doesn't mean i'm not cringing about it 😭 #just so long as you don't turn the cringe into self-hatred i suppose #you cannot hate yourself into being better♡♡ #WAIT I JUST REMEMBERED THAT IN ONE OF THE WARM-UPS I WROTE ABOUT A LESBIAN ROBOT #NEVER MIND I'M DONE CRINGING #man i should make that into a proper short story like. what a concept

One of the things I like most about the Oshu stories is how often they brush on the tedious and unglamorous aspects of samurai life. That little splash of the mundane makes the game world feel surprisingly tangible, and it elicits a very ordinary sympathy for the characters, something different and more familiar than what we might feel watching them ride off to battle. They won't die warriors' deaths, thankfully, but they will likely grow old at their desks, bent over paperwork.

I like, too, that we see a community fall through the cracks here. The Date cousins and Kojuro all come across as having very good -- and frankly, very caring -- intentions when it comes to governance. But it's impossible for them to know everything, or be everywhere all the time. The hard fact of the matter is that they have to make the best of limited time, money, and resources, and sometimes that means being a bit ruthless with how you allocate what you do have. It's the sort of thing that has to trouble the conscience every once in a while, no matter how hard you try to bury it.

#fight scene in this one sucked though ngl #i hate it when they completely skip over swordplay in a rush to return to the other kind of swordplay #slbp kojuro #slbp #samurai love ballad party

There is something that makes me vaguely uncomfortable about reading characters who are obviously way too... emotionally competent, shall we say, in fic.

Like I can't exactly phrase it in another way, but lately I've been seeing it more often: conversations that are supposed to be between a pair of lovers, but are written in such a tone where it sounds less like they're two people who are sharing a significant or intimate moment of emotional connection, and more like one character is... giving the other therapy.

I know this is vague, and fantasizing about genuinely just helping a character you like is beyond fine, there's nothing wrong with that, but... no matter how well-written something is, there's just a certain tone some people seem prone to hitting, where it just feels like their character is not emotionally present, not really, when someone they supposedly care for is falling apart.

That therapy-speak, outside of actual therapy, it sounds detached. Cynical, or even slightly condescending. Removed from the moment. And especially in a fantasy setting (where it's easy to fall into anachronisms already), it can really easily start to feel like one character is talking the other through a potential turning point in what's supposed to be their relationship, the way a crisis negotiator might talk someone off a ledge.

It... makes me feel weird. And I too feel then immediately disconnected from the character doing it.

#squirrel speaks #and -ngl- i bet the kind of person Astarion specifically is would hate it #maybe it's just the best way many of us can think to approach someone #who clearly WOULD need therapy #but it -imo- really takes away from the fictional and the human elements of it #i don't want to read the minutes from someone's session with their therapist #i want to read characters navigating their own relationship together #on equal footing; rather than one coaching the other #in the ways of being a person #ykwim? #is this anything #does ANYONE feel the same

CONTEXT!

This is just a redraw from a post from a year ago that i just stumbled upon while clearing my gallery...

no there is not much further context for this, the second pic is the original and first is the recent redraw-

so yeah-

if you've red this far thank you!

have a nice day/night ✨

#undertale au #art #utmv #dreamtale #dreamtale nightmare #passive nightmare sans #redraw #kind of proud of this one ngl- #idk #i might hate this later on but for now i'll just be proud of myself-

Shuffle your favourite playlist and post the first five songs that come up. Then copy/paste this ask to your favourite mutuals <3 (ps if there's not at least 2 Swift songs in there I will be shocked)

❤️ I shuffled my On Repeat Playlist (I don't really have a singular favorite) and only got one Taylor Swift song somehow 😆 Fitting that it's shaping up to be my favorite from her latest album though. I do have two Olivia songs for you, however 😌

1. My Favorite Mistake - Sheryl Crow

2. obsessed - Olivia Rodrigo

3. Song About You - The Band CAMINO

4. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? - Taylor Swift

5. girl i've always been - Olivia Rodrigo

#ask game #thanks for including me ❤️ #ngl my instinct was to omit Taylor’s song...she's been getting a lot of hate in the wake of the new album #and I know most people are sick of her #but also that I've been a bit poisoned by all of it lately to the point of feeling kind of ashamed for just liking her music #idk I know a lot of people are weird or pretentious about that #to the point where I hesitate to call myself a fan #and I definitely do NOT condone everything she does or like worship her or whatever #but I do like this new album I didn't really care for her last one #it's dense and feels like a diary and can get stream of consciousnesslike which #I honestly think works for and against it #the new one not the last one #but I can't even look through her tag right now because it's SO full of hate #anyway...sorry #didn't realize I was sitting on all of that I guess #but to end positively #I really like the metaphors and the way she's playing this dramatic caricature of herself in the song listed

"mare x maven is such an amazing ship and not toxic at all"

they literally try to kill each other on like five different occasions

mare emotionally and mentally manipulates maven every chance she gets

maven emotionally scarred mare so bad she gets cptsd and starts over analyzing every human interaction just so she doesn't get hurt again

mare kills maven (need I say more???)

maven locks mare up for months instead of just doing the smart thing and killing her because his obsession is so bad and overwhelmingly toxic he can't let go of a person that hates him so fucking much

mare x maven is one of the most toxic ships there is in any fandoms I'm in and it's so ridiculous that it's as popular as it is (cal and mare are pretty toxic too but it's not nearly as bad as mare x maven)

#almost every ship in rq is toxic ngl #even the canon ones like mare x cal like i mentioned before #red queen #mare barrow #maven calore #also maven is one of my favorite characters but if you ignore all of his actions #and treat him like a little a baby i kind of hate you #well not hate thats very strong but something is definitely wrong

HEARTBREAKING: Person within your oppressed group acts as if they speak for every single other person in the group

#i'm inviting trouble with this one tbh but this is ok to rb. in a rare bitchy mood rn and idc. go for it <3 i'll mute the post if i have to #physically disabled people and our opinions are NOT a monolith i promise skjdksjd #nothing ever is #one person cannot speak for all of us. though this is less one thing and more a general pattern i see sometimes #usually i ignore online opinions I don't see eye to eye with but i had to have my petty moment for this pattern ngl #anyways. i explicitly disagree with other physically disabled people who act like other disabilities are of lower priority or for attention #or who act as if otherwise disabled people are constantly derailing disabled discussion by adding onto it #either explicitly outline a discussion as for fellow physically disabled people only from the get-go #or you can't get mad when wider ranges of disabled people weigh in! #like i GET IT it sucks to feel derailed or spoken over but it's on you to set those parameters if you want to #idk sometimes it's giving 'let the REAL disabled people talk' and i kind of fucking hate it tbh #okay that's my divisive opinion for the month o7 see yall later

Were you abused as a kid and that's why you can't tell d*rkl*na isn't abusive?

#this is embarrassing for you #like malinas and anti darklinas already have a small fandom and a bad reputation #do you really have to be out here making it worse? #antis argue day and night about how darklinas are the abuse apologists and they're the ones on the side of those abused #and you're really just gonna ruin all that #abuse mention tw #myramblings #anon hate #anon #asks and answers #i usually just delete this kind of stuff but like ??? #do you even hear yourself #also the double negative is killing me #ngl #shadow and bone #anti darkling bs #anti darklina bs #sab discourse #this is obscene #fandomcourse #negative #i'm deleting all the other bs asks btw #if you're going to argue against abuse maybe don't be a clown and harass a real life person

Rikki cutscene?

phhhhhh my godd covering my mouth and giggling and kicking my legs and rolling around in bed and. rikki . she is everything to me. she’s like if a girl was sooo fail and had everything wrong ever. imagine masking your entire life and pretending that everything is okay. pretending you enjoy the golden child #lifestyle and that you’re actually really respectful and polite and considerate. But actually u are so full of anger. so full of rage and violence. but it’s ok really <3 you’ve been suppressing your emotions for decades and shelving away every problem ever but it’s fineeeeeee believe me it’s fine. it’s all good. yiu’re not even mad. it’s not avoidant and conflict averse behavior it’s just literally fine. also it’s less hassle if there’s no problems and everything’s gucci and no one’s mad (you are mad though. but like dont worry about it). it’s much less hassle to pretend like nothing has ever bothered you at all and to just nod along. you just don’t want trouble. you don’t want to get into trouble. you’re not honest, you might even push someone else under the bus if it helps you stay afloat. you’re only caring and considerate when it benefits you, you don’t actually know any of these people, you don’t actually respect any of them. it’s just easier to pretend like you do. and all you ever wanted was an escape, and you got it, and was it worth it? of course it was, you were doing the right thing, you were following your dreams and saving both him and you. he just didn’t understand—he’s your little brother, of course he didn’t understand. he never even cared, did he? or, wait, you shouldnt badmouth the dead—except of course he’s not dead, everything is fine, he’s just been missing for what, 7 years? but it’s fine. if you acknowledge something bad might have happened to him all those two decades of repressed feelings might just drown you for good. he’s fine. and then it turns out he really is fine. he’s just alive, and—oh. he hates you. he thinks you didn’t care. he thinks you abandoned him (he thinks you hated him). but what else were you supposed to do? you were just trying to save you both, to do the right thing. you wanted a better life. it’s not your fault that you lied, you were just trying to avoid pointless conflict—it’s less hassle that way. but of course he still got mad, because he’s him, and he only ever thinks about himself. and now he thinks you didn’t care. ridiculous. maybe he didn’t care when he tried to talk you out of following your dreams. maybe he didn’t care when he didn’t even leave a note, any sort of explanation. maybe he didn’t care when he said you didn’t care! because that’s so stupid, of course you cared, all you ever cared about was him. see, you did the right thing. you simply knew better. he doesn’t understand. nobody does (nobody ever understood how hard it’s been being the perfect one). but it’s okay. everything’s fine. you guys aren’t even fighting. you’re not even mad! everything’s good. it’s all okay. sure, your brother takes any chance he gets to antagonize you and act like the only victim on planet earth, but really, it’s all good. because you’re so polite. and you’re so respectful, and so considerate, so calm, so rational, so obedient, so perfect. nothing could ever get under your skin (except everything). nothing could ever make you mad (except everyone). and surely nothing could ever make you blow up, make the dam inside you finally burst, make all your anger and grief and every bad emotion under the sun known.

(…except him.)

#hi. rikki and william are so normal. come closer #he MADDDD he thought growing up in an abusive household was for ONE DAY ONLY ! and that it would make u NORMAL ! and make u normal about #conflict and emotions and relationships and such #god. i made rikki sound evil in this and like a total asshole . and lisyen. he was kind of an ass for (gestures vaguely) lying to his #brother and then abandoning him. but william was also an asshole for shitting on rikki’s one(1) singular dream of his entire life #and for not supporting him when he needed it the most. will kind of sucked for that im ngl #and really he could’ve left a note if he was gonna just run away from home #AUEHHH. me when im in a fucked up siblings competition. Rotating them in my head #two people who thinks the other abandoned them and hates them and never cared for them #but they couldn’t be further from the truth #imma start eating metal #cramswering

I've somewhat made a horror movie blog (not on tumblr) so now I need to figure out what to post there. There's several topics I'd be interested in exploring, but idk how to make them sound interesting or good

#also need to find the time and motivation to edit what ive written and write new things #one topic I've researched before and wpuld be cool to talk about is the horror space sequel thing #since like several franchises just randomly have space sequels and i've spent hours reading about it bc i thought it was really interesting #and also really strange how its kind of a thing #id also be interested in talking about obscure movies #I've been watching some more obscure japanese and korean horror films lately and maybe i could talk about that #bc the more obscure movies are very rarely talked about #like everyone talks about the grudge and ringu and train to busan and audition #but i really like the more obscure moviee too. not just from those countries but others too #and it'd be cool to maybe explore them more? #idk #i dont want to do like reviews bc im terrible at reviewing movies (i guess maybe mini-reviews would be doable but not long ones) #I'll have to figure it out more but i do want to make a horror blog #I'd try my hand at a yourube channel but i hate video editing ngl so blog (for now) it is #oh also i wanna talk about lesbian/sapphic rep in horror!!! lesbians in horror are always my favorite thing ever so i love watching them #I've seen quite a few and i could maybe try talking about that too?

[voidfragments]

donghua qr was a mistake actually bc now i have to see people's opinions about him more than i did before

#ooc #straight up makes me uncomfortable how many people are just like fucking. hooting & hollering & cheering over him getting brutally beaten u #which! i know is ridiculous of me bc he's horrible and awful and as i've said before #if anyone has the right to do that to him it's DEFINITELY hc considering the whole carriage thing #i just... idk i hate that m.xtx established that he's an abuse survivor and then proceeded to beat him up for comedic effect #for the entire rest of the novel #anyways i haven't watched the episode yet but idk how much i'm gonna actually enjoy it tbh #bc of this and also not liking his design #i'm so bummed ngl :( i was waiting for this for YEARS #anyways x2 i think a lot of these takes come from like #newer fans esp donghua-onlys #the kind who rlly only care about the main couple #real ones read the novel and picked a side character to get hopelessly attached to #idk if the donghua even touched on his childhood at all considering it was like. 1 paragraph of narration in the novel #do they even know... #do they know that qr is not just an aggressor but also a victim #do they know that his arc is about breaking cycles of abuse #and getting better through being shown compassion

Revali desperately wants some kind of reaction from link. Everything he tries fails miserably. After a particular comment about links family, he finally got one! In the form of a punch to the beak

okay I'm combining this one with a very similar prompt: wild gets mad and punches someone in the face hard enough to break their jaw

Link was the very pinnacle of self-control. Even against pricks like Revali. He was an expert in bottling up his petty anger until he was in front of a monster and using it to slice the poor creature into purple dust. He rarely even flinched when confronted with jealous warriors who believed they deserved the sword on his back more than he did.

As if he hadn't spent his whole life with a blade in his hand and an easily verified history of undefeated victory under his belt ever since he was a child. It was that idea that kept him from getting upset when warriors with massive egos tried to taunt him into a fight. He knew his ability and it wasn't his fault that they were threatened by him.

But he wasn't as untouchable as people seemed to think. He wasn't a statue or an idol to be looked upon and prayed to for their salvation, he wasn't a figure from the legends, although, maybe he was. He didn't really feel like one. Behind his well-crafted mask of stone, he was still a person, a teenager.

No matter how perfect he tried to be, he was still just a mortal boy. And he was really dreading the week-long excursion to Rito village to attempt the divine beast's first flight. A whole week spent within earshot of Revali and his constant infuriating squawking.

Unfortunately, the Rito champion had made it his mission to get a reaction out of him, and after hours and hours of endless mocking and fluffing up his feathers, he succeeded.

The princess was off inspecting Vah Medoe for some last-minute checks and had left her personal knight and the divine beasts pilot behind, as neither of them were well-versed in ancient mechanics. Link stayed on his guard while Revali came up with more and more things he could say to bother his fellow champion.

"At this point, I can't even tell if you're simply too stupid to speak or if you have some kind of mental affliction damaging that puny head of yours. I suppose that's what too many moblin clubs to the cranium will get you..." Revali rambled while Link focused on taking even measured breaths.

"Is that why they got rid of you so fast? All those stories about your impossible feats as a toddler were all made up so your parents had a reason to get you out of their sight? I mean, are we supposed to believe that a scrawny four-year-old hylian could even pick up a sword? It's just... too asinine to even consider!" The rito laughed, within the hidden confines of his mouth, the hero clenched his teeth together.

"Well, if that's the case, I don't blame them! Perhaps they were fools for not simply leaving a runt like you to succumb to the elements! I've seen you, you won't even speak to them! I wonder if they regret not leaving you to the beasts as a babe..."

It was then that Link snapped. Before he could break his teeth or let his nails cut into the skin of his palms. After years and years of relentlessly focused control, that was the thing that tossed all his training out the window.

With a swift yank to the bird's champion blue scarf and a satisfying crunch, Link's fist made contact with the side of Revali's beak, sending the rito to the ground causing a heavy thud and a distressed squawk.

"If you wanted me to grace you with my voice so badly you could've just asked, now shut the fuck up for once in your self-obsessed life you overgrown cucco," The hero growled as the rito champion cradled his jaw in his feathery hand and looked up at him with a certain kind of indignant horror.

For the next six days and surely beyond, the mouthy bird had his beak bound by bandages, unable to open it for even the simplest mention of gloating.

The silence was just as sweet as he hoped it would be, and though it was impossible for a single punch to keep Revali's ego at bay, from then on, his insults tended to remain far away from the line he had crossed that day.

Send me prompts?

#i wish i could beat the shit out of revali more often lmao #im tired of link being nice! I think he deserves to go apeshit! #he's living out my dream of shutting that damn bird up #i am a revali disliker and this is the only time I'll write him being this much of an ahole #usually i try to write him with a bit of nuance but this time i thought it was fitting for him to be just plain mean #ask andromeda #writing prompt #botw #this was kinda cathartic for me ngl #i hope no one sends anon hate over this i feel like this is the kind of thing that would get me anon hate #anti revali

idk i guess my philosophy when it comes to damien and mark has always been like.....damien isn't a bad guy, really, i do think he has good intentions most of the time, but given the environment he's in and how much money and power he has access to, it makes sense to me that he'd occasionally stoop to underhanded or scummy methods to get what he feels like he needs or deserves. meanwhile mark is also not a bad guy—though he certainly tends to be more selfish than damien—but he's been severely hurt and has never been properly supported through all of it due to a combination of the time period he's in, the people he's around not fully understanding him, and his own self destructive tendencies. oh, and house entity also. that's very much a factor here.

#markiplier #who killed markiplier #actor mark #damien the mayor #marshy speaks #....does it surprise anyone i still have a lot of thoughts about this series? it's kind of surprising me ngl #i'm firmly in lila territory interest-wise but wkm is always going to occupy a special piece of my brain ig #anyway once again 'actor has trauma from even before wkm' truthing #as well as 'damien is not super innocent' truthing #i wish i had something to say about will here to complete the trifecta but idk i guess he just doesn't feel super relevant here #and besides i never really did figure out what i was doing with him character wise #even with all my thoughts about his and mark's tumultuous love-hate filled brotherhood #i think he's also. primarily traumatized. as a motive to why he's Like That #along with the stress of being outside the class that his friends are in #i'm still a 'will was a child of one of the iplier servants truther' as well i really think that makes the most sense #anyway i guess i'm getting sidetracked. just. yeah.

ngl the worst thing about the xenoblade fandom (which I think is the root cause of a lot of other issues) is that it’s mostly on twitter. I have to subject myself to twitter for any real consistent fan talk or content. legit there's always some new stupid topic of argument ive noticed in the past few weeks on there and its all very silly and frustrating and what im saying is everyone should move to Tumblr. please. for me. 

#siren says #the other root problem in the fandom is that as of 2 there's just a lot of fans who are clearly there for sexy anime lady reasons. and that #in turn bleeds into certain peoples perception of those characters as mostly sex symbols and attracts a lot of...certain kinds of #individuals. specifically ones who dont really understand what fandoms basic principals are. the amount of times ive seen someone going "um #but thats not canon or some comment along those lines is so stupidly high. and I thought it was just homophobia and certainly part of it is #but I also saw it on a fucking glimmer/nikol art??? like. neither of them have any other love interests and its a perfectly cute if cliche #pairing and you STILL have people being contrarian? I think a lot of these gamer bro types just dont understand basic fandom guidelines ngl #and idk I also feel kind of alienated from other queer fans bc I kind of like some of the ships most of them hate and I felt like if I ever #tried to reach out it would just be awkward idk. at least the people I see on tw who I think are very cool writers or artists or whatever #xenoblade really should be bigger on here Tumblr goes on and on about the romanticization of cannibalism and weird divine imagery #and machines that are also alive and maybe even angels and im like. BOY HOWDY DO I HAVE A SERIES FOR YOU #including saga and gears btw ESPECIALLY them actually. tumblr would love A's gender fuckery I just know it but A is stuck to mostly being #known by twitter a cruel fate for an enby if I ever saw one. free A :((((( #actually I just need to get a bunch of Aros into xenoblade they'd understand me then :3 understand me and my nontraditional relationship hcs #xenoblade #putting this in the main tags o7 pray for me
