Some sketches of Shinji and one lost Jugram xD

#Idk why I keep drawing Shinji over and over again #bro is one of the least frequently appearing characters in Bleach (in the anime they recently cut out his scenes #which made me laugh more than sad at this point xDD) #But there's something fun about drawing his err... rather specific design #Oh and Jugram... he's just pretty xD #nothing more needs to be added here #my art #bleach #jugram haschwalth #shinji hirako

I know it's a dead topic but the whole games as art thing really shows it'd teeth with bangers like Outer Wilds and In Stars and Time

Like yes they both tell a story you can tell through text or film

But to experience that? Personally?

To have to trudge the same halls and kill the same enemies and find the same items? The pay off at the end it's so much better than just Watching someone experience that and have the abridged maybe 3-5tops looping scenes with ~~slight differences~~ in either editing or acting

But to watch the sun explode every 20 minutes or to Feel the impatience of dialogue boxes grow within you as a person is significantly different

It's another layer of nuance that's executed PERFECTLY

#same can apply to going Meta with arteficial bugs #world tiles or sprite glitches forced to show that everything's unstable #nothing is real #isat spoilers #in stars and time #in stars and time spoilers #outer wilds #essay #i need to write this in full #i feel TWEWY can be added here but i havent got to playing it just yet #though ghost trick can be included in here too

"Can I have this dance~"

Doodled this for animation practice. Also I miss them.

#portwell #they deserve it #and also because this is one of my favourite songs from the whole hsm series #I stared at the flower print dress and thought about animating that and said uh no put her in pink #drawing her braids without animating is already a pain but her braids are so cute.... #tbh I've never drawn Real People there was a part of me that went YOU NEED TO PAINT THEM TO MAKE THEM LOOK MORE LIKE THE ACTORS #but then I wouldn't be able to animate them without spending a whole month painting #and the point of this was animation LOL #anyway this turned out slightly better than I expected #I had a couple of extra hair movement frames but ultimately realised they muddied the flow and added nothing #that's today's takeaway from animation practice! #if anyone told me 5 years ago that my first human gif animation in years would be of a disney teen show with melodrama and a broken ship #I wouldn't believe them lol #but here we are #hsmtmts #my scribbles

if any of y'all could do me a solid and report this griefer that's been hanging out by the limsa aetheryte on malboro that would be lovely. I don't need to name names you'll know exactly who i'm talking about if you go there

#dude's been here for weeks adding more and more of his bots and doing his lala hate spam every so often. seems he's added a bard now too #i reported him almost week ago and nothing has been done yet as far as i can tell #never thought i'd see the day that i'd think someone could be more immature than griefers on wow but here we are #he's been up to 34 or so characters a couple days ago #luckily i'm working on an alt through msq on a different server so i don't have to deal with it as much #but i do need to go there now and then on my mains for stuff so can't completely avoid it short of not playing at all

[laniemae]

hey so uh I’m back

kinda

I don’t know how to word this. But my break is over I guess. I ended up leaving for longer as I didn’t know how to handle returning and I wanted to do it on a better day, and I’m sorry if I made you worried.

Although with all of this it feels nothing has changed yet again. It feels like forever since I’ve been here and my break consisted of highs and lows where I felt I could do nothing and desperately needed to go back to tumblr, or I feel relaxed and it was a good idea.

it’s very hard. I’m considering actually leaving for good because of how my break affected me. But I’m going to try to intergrate myself back here, but I think it’s going to be very hard.

I’m still scared staying here and I feel like I’m stuck in a narrow space with no exit no matter what I do, I just hate everything I hate myself I just want help but there’s no one to get help from I have no idea what to do I feel exhausted yet I haven’t done anything I just don’t know where this is all going and I’m scared for the future

#I really don’t know if I should leave or not #ive been saying this a lot but this might be the actual time I’m truly considering it as I had some experience of that #Whatever that means #i feel like it’ll be relief either that or I’ll be even more stressed #I can’t tell because i experienced both emotions simultaneously during the leave #There’s also so much I want to share with everyone #I ended up ripping apart the Milgramblr tree #I didn’t feel anything not happiness not sadness but nothing #I just don’t know if I can take it anymore but I don’t even know the true source of what’s bothering me #I probably won’t continue my archives for a while because of this #And I need to vent here #FOR WHATVER FUCKING REWSON AS SOON AS I CAME BACK ALL OF THE PHOTOS GOT SHUFFLED AGAIN #AGAINNNNNN #AND I SPENT SO MUCH TIME REOGANISING THEM EHEN IT HAPPENED LAST WEEK #AND I ADDED SO MUCH NEE STUFF #Hehhhh it’s just some annoying it issue #But I guess this has been a bad start to everything #I just wanna sleep forever and not wake up

[cornerfolks]

to clarify some things just because

this is a funny

i cant claim to know what the inspirations for myhouse were aside from, very obviously, house of leaves

yume nikki itself is inspired by lsdde, but i feel like its usage of wordless Suggested storytelling may have influenced my house, where you can try to piece together a story just from the spaces you travel- in yn you have multiple worlds like that, the first that comes to mind being the hit and run.

lsd dream emulator i feel may have influenced my house Independently from yume nikki, particularly with the way levels interconnect and loop back around on one another in a 3d setting

P.T. definitely belongs here like obviously but consider this: i forgor. and itd look weird if it wasnt a triangle. realistically, its Probably an even bigger influence than house of leaves. i mean, it's PT. its PT.

the complete absence, aside from HoL, of house-centric media is not an oversight because despite everything, myhouse really isn't about the house. the "haunted house" isnt the house itself, it's the doom map of the house- the building is irrelevant, what matters is that its the space Tom created. the reason the house's layout repeats itself everywhere isn't because the house matters, it's because that was the layout tom created in the original map that steve decided to update. do you understand THIS? the house isnt alive, the myhouse.wad is alive. there is a distinction and the distinction is crucial. the analog to the house on ash tree lane isnt the house itself, because there is no real world physical house present in the story, since its only about the mod based on said house. the analog to the house on ash tree lane, to This House (skinamarink acknowledgement), to the monster house, is the map.

thank you for coming to my tedtalk. its 6:30pm and i just ate subway after i started my day at 5pm having gone to sleep at 6 something am with a full xanax following a night of drinking red bull. i need to take my magnesium pills to balance my energy.

btw the gay monster house is something i'm doing myself stay tuned for that.

in truth i dont even know if we can legitimately consider myhouse part of houseposting... but i will anyway because it carries the same spirit. even if its about a doom map. like in fiction its about a doom map.

#myhouse #myhouse.wad #myhouse.pk3 #if you people saw the original post youll see this too because we're all housefags who are in the tag looking for content that understands #it. and isnt just like WOW. LIMINAL SPACE. speaking of i think the inclusion of the backrooms and the pool area are a detriment to the mod. #at least the backrooms is a funny easter egg bc you literlaly have to noclip. #nothing major and i guess i only think that because i know about the annoying liminal space trends (emphasis on trends) i love that kind of #imagery and was interested long before their explosion in 2020. same with the backrooms. i was there in like 2018 thinking about the post. #before it all went to hell. #then again i experiened the same thing with analog horror. #perhaps nothing is sacred. #at least our little houseposting corner seems safe because to even care at all you need to understand its nuance #though that didnt stop people from ignoring what made the backrooms creepy and just adding levels and monsters to make an scp ripoff i mean #there is literally a wiki with like numbered articles and shit. its wild. #anyway. if youre reading this all the way down here hows it going? good day so far? do me a solid- go listen to a quick one before the eter #al worm devours connecticut. maybe you already know it but its one of my fav songs ever from one of my fav albums from one of my fav artist #not have a nice life in general though they rule but rather dan barrett who also did giles corey and black wing #did you know hes bisexual? its awesome. he made a song called guilt is my boyfriend. its really good. under the giles corey name

I just really like CATS - you might even say I love it with every fibre of my being.

#thats all #no justification no analyzation no defense no nothing #i *can* give you all of those things i *have* given people all of those things many many many times #here and offline #but you know what? i genuinely do not need to #nobody needs to #if you enjoy the musical about the dancing cat people embrace it! own it! and if others make fun of you for it #cut them from the conversation #like i understand it sucks when people around you don't like the thing you like #and it can feel isolating #but at the end of the day if you need peer approval to like something then that's something you need to unpack #for the benefit of your mental health #regardless of what it is you will find community - you *will* find people who will like things with you #and if not? do what makes you happy! make whatever you want say what you'd like #talk about the thing ad nauseum #don't be ashamed #you will find your people and be happier in the process #remember that for every thing you dislike that others like there will be something you like that others dislike #and that's okay - that's completely okay #you need no justification and most theatre kids who hate cats have never seen it due to bad mouthing #i know this from experience - i knew people like this #anyway good morning i love cats i will always love cats i have loved cats for over 20 years #love the musical and be happy #extemporize back chat

This is probably just me not knowing how to utilise google correctly but WHY is it so hard to find Western novels about gay men that aren't romance novels

#vent post #not actually a vent lmao but thats the tag #like look #what i WANT to read is basically just; #gunsmoke. except the marshal is gay. nothing else is different #the rest of the story is normal #the focus is not the romance #and WHY is this SO HARD to find!!!! #like COME ON #yes this is user error i dont understand how to google things since they changed the algorithm to be all ads and whatever #but trying to add queer or mlm or whatever to the keyword searchs just brings up romance #and i will not object at all to romances that are a part of the plot #i just #i dont want to read straight romance #i would like to read about cowboys and gunmen and whatever Wild West things bc that is why i am here #and itd be nice if the romance was gay instead of het #ugh #anyway im gonna have to bother the librarians next time i go to the library bc if i have to write this myself i am going to #throw my laptop into the pond #if anyone has any queer and/or mlm western novels to rec lmk pls i need to read things or i will perish

OH PHEW the esim plan I bought like a month ago finally got activated!! I thought I fucked up the instructions somehow...

#just thinking thoughts... #I told vege guy I was worried I messed up and he was like 'You? With your perfectionism? I don't think so' #which I really needed to hear. and he was right!!! #I'm so good at following instructions. so so good. #umm they used 1.1 GB out of 3 GB in like 2 or 3 days... the sim is only good for 28 more days... I should buy more data huh... #huh. I dind't think this far. I bought it cause I had the extra monies from print sales. #hmm the average person in 2020 used 4.5 GB of data... but that means like nothing. #the average person's wifi infrastucture isn't bombed to pieces in 2020. #hmm... okay I think I will keep checking the data usage and when it passes 1.5 GB used I'll add 5 GB more #the thing is that buying more GBs at one time is cheaper... #umm... I'm not really confident that this phone/person will last through 10 more GB (<- pessimist) #so I'm not adding 10 GB... but I think adding 5 GB is a comfortable place to be. #I feel like youcould like. I don't know. videochat family with that. #I suspect the usage is going to slow down a lot from here because I imagine they'd use it a lot at first #especially if they'd been waiting for one #but then they'd start rationing it really carefully... which might look the same as not using it. maybe? #huh... so should I just top it off right away?? #hmm... #I will leave that decision til tomorrow

No offence, but ffs the general strike for Palestine thing being circulated for action this week is literally coming with caveats saying 'if you can't do anything else just don't post on social media about anything but Palestine'.....????????

#at some point it's not a strike any more when people are presenting it to you as not a strike. #look- i think a general strike supporting a ceasefire could make an impact but any kind of strike requires centralised support #e.g. if a community organiser in london who has been planning the large marches put out very clear instructions well in advance #contacted unions etc- maybe are large number of people in the country would actually do it- people here clearly care about Palestine #but literally all of this just ends up being about social media AGAIN. #did we not learn from the BLM black square saga???? social media and especially tumblr is not very useful! #btw the reason why strikes work best through workplaces if because you NEED close social support in order to do them effectively #internet support just isn't the same and it's no wonder so many people are openly saying 'I can't' #i wouldn't either! there would be no point! Sorry to be so blunt #i will 100000% take part in a strike that i am fully prepared for though but i think people should consider how last minute this has been #it's worth noting that there is a lot of guilt here: people feel they cannot do nothing but they cannot afford to strike #(might they have been able to if this was planned in advance? possibly more would have...) #so someone in the west who is not the Palestinian activist who called for the strike added the weird 'just do social media' caveats #they are literally watering down what should have been a very powerful gesture #but they HAVE to do that because they know 99% of people reading will not be equipped to actually strike meaningfully! #and it's the only way to avoid everyone guilt spiralling

one day when i am not busy dying on the inside and out i will write an honest-to-god essay about how people are, for the lack of a better descriptor but simultaneously for the lack of a more perfect one, too edgy about five.

#like yeah five is an edgy game and the darkest in the series and gloomier than all of its predecessors but. i lack the words for it now but #there are important little moments in five where light shines through the carpet haphazardly thrown over a pile of garbage that oft get #ignored in favor of pushing the agenda that everyone in five is filth down to the core and that's just not true #i just- deeeeeeep sigh. people are so shallow sometimes man #this is how we get those characters that do not resemble the original in the slightest that either take one trait of the given character an #then bloat and exagerrate it until the character is a caricature of themselves OR projections of what the people would like these character #to BE in order to... be able to wrap their heads around them and their motivations more easily‚ i guess?? #i don't know it feels to me like people just don't want to bother with the intricacies of complex characters and that's how the wood plank #versions of characters get created and then passed around ad infinitum #sweet grouchy baby boy who never did anything wrong ever. man who is either an innocent little big guy or satan himself. guy who is #objectively one of the most flawed individuals in the series being worshipped as a hero (griffith syndrome). guy who is either depicted as #an obnoxious playboy who only cares about getting laid and having as much skin exposed as possible at all times or the most vile man on #planet earth while being neither. the fucking. masochist cyborg thing. i'm gonna explode #oh and if you point out that there needs to be depth to any analysis of these characters if you are to do them justice you end up with a #gaggle of people saying oh yeah of course everyone in here is awful and they all have pig hearts #and i'm just wondering why this is the default conclusion most come to and not‚ you know‚ the thought that complexity does not inherently #imply rottenness but rather that even in the most horrible of situations you can find something good #i'm not the happiest or the most fortunate of individuals but i still refuse to believe in the idea of inherent evil that's being sold for #cheaper than a copy paper pack these days #but that has nothing to do with this my point is if you're trying to do media analysis you've got to look beyond... i don't have a word for #this... i guess you could call them fanmade stereotypes? no that's not it‚ my point is that people need to open their eyes to how complex #motivations and circumstances and human connection are and face that complexity head on instead of rubbing the story with sandpaper until #it's satisfiable to them #logs

my flatmate asking me the day before "do u want to hang out w me and [old friend] everyone else cancelled so I can invite u now" is not the heartfelt offer she thinks it is :^/

#what am i sloppy seconds. fuck off man #i like them both but im not in the place to socialise rn + also it just feels kinda mean. theyve had these plans for weeks #and i wasnt invited bc some of their other friends (who ive never met) didnt want me there which is fair enough ig #even tho their friends complained abt someone else bringing her bf but they both blocked the veto for that. pretty sure ik them- #better than some guy but whatever. i dont rly like their friends anyway bc they only ever have bad things to say abt them #like damn they sound like they have the emotional range of toddlers plus theyre all into shit like genshin. so i wasnt fazed abt it #hope they have a nice time etc but wow sure now theyve cancelled the day before u can invite me as a replacement. yeah thatll do wonders #for the social and self esteem issues i have around being single use and disposable and always on the outside etc yippee #the thing is if i go theyll just talk to each other anyway and leave me to be the fly on the wall like they always do. they dont want #me there they just want an audience i literally have nothing else to contribute i dont think they even like me that much so! #anyway complaint over. genuinely i hope they have a nice time im just annoyed at being treated like that + probably projecting a bit too #its not like i could go if i wanted to anyway bc i have shit to sort out + mail to wait for. maybe next time invite me from the start huh #we had another old friend visit last weekend but those plans were really made without me too and i was just added bc i Live Here so its #kind of unavoidable. but oh well whatever it was nice to see them either way #im too depressed rn to fix my social life or even rely on existing coping strategies in social situations so im having to temporarily #cut it back bc i get too trigger sensitive + dont want to hurt myself or others bc of an arbitrary emotional overreaction #its usually one of the first things to go when im Going Thru It not in a self isolating way but more bc its one of the hardest things #for me to maintain + im pretty self sufficient so its not absolutely crucial. like of course i love my friends but socialising is a #want not a need yknow. eating/sleeping/exercising/hygiene are all more fundamental parts of the engine so i gotta prioritise them #and it sucks but ill survive. anyway sorry for venting on everyones dash so early in the morning i woke up grumpy 👎 #i need to get breakfast and then go out. ughhhhhhh okay. #.vent

Over the last school year I’ve started to wonder how much my shitty social skills are really my fault. That’s poorly worded ik. Because I can hold a conversation, the issue is that I just get dry ass fucking responses which makes it so difficult for me to answer back. I feel like I’ve had maybe 1 genuinely fun conversation with one of my classmates because we talked about chess and he was actually passionate and interested in it and talking about it! Like man what the fuck. I’m seriously wondering if all these dead convos around me is just because people respond so dryly that there literally isn’t anything I can respond with. I hate how little passion and interest people show in talking with me

#like I don’t bite! #and I don’t wanna just talk about my interests! #i love hearing about others interests but if you talk dryly or I don’t know how to answer the convo dies #i hate it here #this post is brought to you by my dad saying I needed to learn to talk about things that weren’t my interests #fuck you old man I’ve gotten really good at doing that because no one’s fucking interested in my niche interests #but there is only so much schoolwork I can have a full conversation about before it starts looping and I get bored because there’s never #anything new added to the conversation #so I feel like my only option is to bring up something weird #I’ve tried being palatable I’ve tried being relatable #I’ve tried being weird I’ve tried being unusual #NOTHING GODDAMN WORKS #AND AT THIS POINT ITS NOT ME NOT PUTTING IN ANY EFFORT #txt #vent tw #it’s 3 am and I am angry at the world #ramblings of a lunatic
