Cuno should join Hardie boys in the future not RCM btw my unpopular hot take opinion thingie.

#disco Elysium #geym #harry and cuno art is cutee #but there is nothing happy in joining rcm i cant see anything but depression in cunos future if he becomes a detective #soo he should join Hardie boys they have their own problems but its actually very much better #like whole game it is already so fucked up playing as harry and seeing how being a cop is so miserable #and even with kim the good cop who trust the system so badly is miserable because he is a cop #and now you want me to believe cuno would be happy if he joins the rcm #plus Cunoesse i dont want her to be alone and her bestie being a pig #i really dont like rcm every time i interact with them with radio or in whirling its dreadful #martinese can be not so healthy environment but compared to rcm its just more hopeful and less dreadful actually #there is still small things in life that makes you happy there some freedom and hope #anyways tldr nooo cuno don't be a pig and hardie boys >>> rcm #now sleepy time for me

like this post for a poetry line from anna akhmatova from miss zarina because anna akhmatova is the core of this blog's themes.

#aka inbox call besties #❄ ― INBOX CALL. ╱ beyond the horizon’s embrace， it’s nothing compared to her chanting words of the sun.

I love you media interpretation, I love you overthinking things, I love you hyperanalyzing tiny details that may mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things but they mean something to *you* in that moment in time, I love you metaphor and allegory, I love you logical and completely non-logical thought process, I love you joke and serious conversations of meaning, I love you looking too deep into media that is constantly framed as “not that deep”, I love you contextual and non-contextual readings, I love you comparing and contrasting noticed details with friends who get excited about them with you, I love you putting thought and energy into things that seem small just for fun, I love you critical conversation, I loVE -

#i literally love putting unnecessary amount of thought into things i consume #i love reading into things #i love wondering what something might have meant and what it ends up meaning to others #i love talking with my besties about analytical things and comparing observations #i love deconstructing meaning and intent #like?? i find it the most fun to be like: okay i could put no thought into this or take it at face value #*or* i could have a bunch of fun and see what i can do with it and hear what others do with it #jibber jabber blabber bluff #anyway for as much as uni sucked the life outta me it was just so nice to talk interprety things and find out cool stuff #also this is semi aimed at my irl besties who constantly listen to my blabbering about nothing ilu #also also I love when other people hyperanalyze stuff they love even if I have no idea what it is or never consumed it #like yes tell me everything even if I don't see it or read it or understand it I want to hear it

idk how irl celebrities handle fame at a young age like at seventeen i had a couple hundred people regularly interacting with me and putting me on a pedestal and that almost made me crazy. i see new writers getting attention in fandom and i immediately have to put myself in front of them and start barking. get behind me girl

#I FEEL LIKE THIS SHOULD BE TALKED ABOUT MORE LMAO LIKE EVEN THOUGH IT'S A VERY SMALL AMOUNT OF ATTENTION #COMPARED TO LIKE. ACTUAL CELEBRITY #IT'S STILL INSANE LIKE FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS IVE HAD RECURRING INSTANCES OF PEOPLE BEING WEIRD #AND PUSHING BOUNDARIES AND GENERALLY FORGETTING IM AN ACTUAL REAL LIFE PERSON #AND EVEN A LOT OF THOSE WHO AREN'T - ACCIDENTALLY OR INTENTIONALLY - NEGATIVE ABOUT IT #STILL VERY CASUALLY TALK ABOUT ME LIKE IM SOME SUPERIOR FORCE #LIKE IM JUST A GUY ACTUALLY #AND EVEN THOUGH IM ONLY TWENTY I CAN HANDLE IT A LOTTTTTTT BETTER #BUT SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO A STUDY ON THIS SHIT FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE #BC AT SEVENTEEN I REALLY REALLY CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW BAD THAT SHIT WAS FOR ME LMAO #and now i just go crazy overprotective of newer/more unsure writers/artists in fandom #if ur reading this and ive done this to you then my bad <3 #like if we're in the same circle and you get a mean ask/comment/experience then it's truly a matter of time before i descend from the sky #sorry <3 it will happen again <3 #someone ive interacted with maybe one time: i got a mean ask- #me immediately seeing red: do you want me to kill them for you #nothing triggered this post btw it's just something that's on my mind a lot #i feel like a war veteran and im literally a student. ive been in the trenches besties. i have suffered more than jesus i think

I TOLD Y'ALL IT WAS COMING

Behold! My designs for Arman and Beast!

This took a while for me to get around to posting, honestly because I kept being bothered by their proportions... But then I remembered that it doesn't matter :)

Arman possesses the Gup-A, while Beast has the Gup-B! Their designs borrow heavily from their main drivers and are probably the most obvious of the batch, haha-

Face closeups!

I've decided that y'all can use any of these as icons, but please credit me if you do!

Next up will be Caleb and Darwin, who's beta designs I might share earlier... I am gonna be working on them all through the weekend so look forward to that :D

#octonauts #octonauts au #octonauts gups #octonauts oc #digital art #artists on tumblr #i managed to tone it down somewhat so i dont think i need to tag for the brightness this time #erm! heres some tidbits of info about them because i am so ill about their dynamic specifically #there are some GOOD dynamics among the gup spirits but NOTHING compares to whatever the hell these two have going on. *cracks knuckles* #first off stating the obvious here we got the blue/orange duo. complementary colours go so hard you dont understand how autistic i am for i #their ENTIRE thing is about contrasting against each other and i am HERE for it so i will list ALL OF THOSE #1. blue vs orange .. 2. large body vs small body .. 3. bear vs cat .. 4. smooth vs sharp .. AND THATS JUST VISUAL STUFF #arman is this calm rational father figure type guy while beast is wildcard loud flamboyant cousin type guy..... #..... almost exactly like barnacles and kwazii. and similar to the iconic duo: ARMAN AND BEAST WORK VERY WELL TOGETHER #they are besties your honour. sometimes arman has to drag beast back and sometimes beast has to push arman forward but its SO GOOD. ITS SOO #I LIVE FOR THIS SORT OF THING YOU DONT UNDERSTAND. YOU DONT UNDERSTA #i will be almost as ill about caleb and darwin as i was these two. you have been warned #.....this was more than tidbits... apologies! it will happen again. #hershel’s octonauts au

i forget that in most social circles it isn't acceptable to aggressively simp for fictional characters

got housing assignments today and while we didn’t get the place we wanted it turns out that in the place we ARE getting, we each get our own bedrooms!!!

#i haven’t minded sharing a room with her she’s great #but having your own room >>>>>> #ugh nothing can compare to that freedom #i only got my own room for the first time in my life uhhh less than a year ago??? #but being at home means i’m still prone to being barged in on by my family and i don’t have the right to stop them under their roof 🥲 #but getting my own room where i’m far away from anyone who has any right to bother me??? #besties i’m about to be THRIVING #i become a different beast entirely when i get privacy #i start enjoying life like 15x more when i know i’m not being watched #peach rambles

everytime someone says something like 'im so sorry i cant imagine being you with your disabilities oh man' they are legally required to send me 5 dollar

#only i am allowed to complain about my problems!! and then u may agree #unless ur a friend who already knows how my problems work and therefore understand how it affects me. then u may complain for me #nothing sparked this post or anything just thinking about casual ableism #shoutout to my bestie soryn for being non-disabled yet still being one of the most supportive people in my life #even compared to other disabled people #honestly i dont really care what my friends say about any of my problems when i complain about it or don't complain but for strangers? #'oh you have x disease? id kill myself if i was you' ok thanks i guess

guys i have my trial shift tomorrow and ive never had it before when im actually bothered about the job in a specific way like in the past it's always been about GETTING a job and not really giving a toss where im working so long as im working but this is a place i actually really really want to work and will bummed if i dont get. like it's right by the river and it's a really upmarket bar kind of scene so hopefully i might even get proper training in that area and it'll be my first non-minimum wage job AND i'll get tips (every other job i've had i dont even SEE my tips bc the managers take it even if it's given directly to me) and the hours will be super good and it's fast-paced and yeah. im not actually stressed so much bc a trial shift is a trial shift and yeah it's hard getting used to a new place but i can waitress in my sleep but i just reallyyyyyyyy want the job

#do NOT get me started on the tip thing my god #because basically one thing about me is that my customer service is IMPECCABLE #idk what it is idk if it's just bc my mum comes from a waitressing background and basically trained me up behind the scenes #or if im just naturally good at it but i can really switch it on for customers #the only time i start slipping is when customers are rude but luckily the jobs ive had so far kind of let me get away with that #bc they hated rude customers as much as me and kinda used my temper as their own buffer to get the customers to fuck off lol #but when customers are behaving i absolute SHINE like im being so arrogant about this bc i know for a fact im good at it #like they used to purposely put me on till/front of house bc i had the best customer service out of all of them #including the middle-aged workers who'd been there longer #and my fave barista once told me that he did a little experiment and compared how many tips we got when i was working #vs when i was away at uni and it was actually RIDICULOUS how much more tips i got us #and you know what? my boss would split the tips every few months (whenever he remembered) and he'd weight them #depending on who did what jobs. despite tips being PURELY bc of customer service and nothing to do with jobs #so the chef who could barely grunt at people would get a bigger share of the tips i almost singlehandedly earnt us than i did #so yeah i know for a fact this place does it differently bc they're a lot more professional #and also ive been going there for years now it's just genuinely a really nice place #wish me luck besties #hella slaves to capitalism

[seasaltmemories]

seasalt u are speaking FACTS in your last post

Just as like an intensely pretentious literature weirdo, I always have to roll my eyes at anyone who tries to claim that art is somehow now all across the board worse than it has ever been before

I think some people conflate the acknowledgement of tropes with the presence of tropes. And as they get older and get better at picking up the patterns of storytelling in media, they think suddenly ppl are just "throwing together concepts bc they're popular" when most writing has always been like that

Frankly I think most literature is unoriginal and tropey, and that good art transcends simple labels or categorization. But ao3 tags didn't cause it, even before this trend, when I had actually book summaries to rely on, it was still difficult to find what I like, bc simply listing what happens can't capture the full essence of work.

If you want to find like the best of the best, you often have to dig through a lot of samey nonsense, get word of mouth recs, and take chances on smaller, less popular works.

Once you stop feeling beholden to the idea what's most popular represents an entire industry at a certain moment, the easier it is to actually find stuff that caters to your taste

#seasalt talks #writing workshop #like as I've left school and have gotten to read more for pleasure I find that discovering stuff I like is hard #I have put up with a lot of meh books that were hot at the moment but did nothing for me #and it took taking a chance on an relatively unknown title that was published several decades ago for me to find something that spoke 2 me #winter prince my beloved <3 #and even then seeing what authors are compared to my bestie elizabeth wein hasn't been helpful #bc what I love has so much more to do with how she writes character relationships rather than plot TM #seriously if you know you love the specific plot of best friends pining over one another before eventually becoming a romantic couple #I am happy that you have it so much easier than I do finding stuff you like #I'm just a prickly bitch and that's ok too #ao3 tags have no effect on my very specific tastes

i might still be bitter about sabs2 but at least this train wreck of a season made me reread the books. done with tgt and finished soc last night, on to ck <3

#the book characters and relationships are all so so superior i am sorry s2 can’t even compare 🫶 #my reread also made me realise why i think show!wesper is boring has nothing on book!wesper #it has a lot to do with personal taste and the seasons awfully rushed and insubstantial writing #also inej bestie they did you so bad in the show 💔 #mish rambles

After looking through every current bndori and sekai bday card with my sibling I must say. I don't typically like making definitive judgements on one of them being better at smth than the other but the way that even the pretty good but not amazing bndori bday cards are better than literally every sekai bday card by a Landslide boggles the mind

#rat rambles #band posting #sekai posting #dont get me wrong. bndori bday cards have their duds. in fact they have a lot of them imo #but. holy shit are even the best sekai bday cards just nothing compared to the just pretty alright bndori bday cards #and compared to the actual good good bndori bday cards? not even fucking close they make the sekai cards look like fucking Nothing #generally I think comparing the games cards is kinda unfair since their best cards go for different things usually #but with their bday cards. yeah I cant be that nice sekai bday cards are all just eh at best Im sorry #mafuyu honami and kohane's first bday cards are the closest they get to being good and even then #for the first batch the big problem is the lighting #in fact this is a big problem in a lot of bndori's first batch too #but the soft lighting is just so overwelming in almost all of the first batch sekai cards it ruins any cool color contrast they do go for #and dont get me started on the current batch. please this theme could have been so cool but instead they just did. that. #like ur allowed to do more poses bestie
