#object-loving that's also cool I'm that

[xxstrawberrybunxx]

Aromanticism can encompass so many wide ranges of experiences, like, so many.

There's loveless and heartless aros and loving aros, aplatonic aros and aros who really value platonic love. Alloaros, aroaces, non-sam aros.

I'm a non-sam aro as in I don't consider the split-attraction model to be very important in my identity. I don't feel the need to put boundaries on romantic, sexual, and platonic love and attraction.

Someone else might also be a non-sam aro and have completely different experiences and definitions then me and that's like, totally fine!

There's no one way to define aromantic experiences and there's no one way to define aromantic love or lack-there-of. All of us reserve the right to have our own spaces and be left-the-fuck-alone tbh.

my friend who went to see the new master and margarita movie, not familiar with the book: what the fuck is going on

me, watching the new master and margarita movie, familiar with the book: what the fuck is going on

#i'm the plot accuracy nerd 🤍 #i tried to be objective but turned out i can't #it's hard to be one when the director suddenly decides to bring his own ideas into the adaptation and makes it modern looking #people are mostly saying yeah august diehl was so cool so sexy it's bad margarita is the one naked at the end #i can tell you're missing the point and all that huge budget and these actors are not enough to hide all the fuck ups #and you're ready for this conversation #i can be bitchy for no end when it comes to movies that are supposed to be built on the primary source (the book) #but instead of it directors just borrow the characters and ideas and create it in something absurd #i'm not here to drool over august diehl. i am in fact here to re-experience the story i really love #also someone said that actors were good but i leave it to those who really appreciate it #ps. woland's retinue was dull and bland #master and margarita #for the first rime in a while i felt nothing after watching a movie #neither good nor bad emotions it just wasted my time #как похорошела москва при собянине

Dude, I meant to not judge the characters as good or bad, not to stop analyzing them. Ed Edd and Eddy was filmed in "ancient times", when shows based on violence and how everyone was bad was the norm. Every single character behaves meanly for the sake of humor.

i mean true, i do sometimes feel like we're going in circles a bit here with who's bad who's good and why. i personally couldn't care less. you're talking to an eddy enjoyer here... the morality of a character, lack thereof, whatever, has no influence on whether i like them or not, but it matters to some people i guess. and it can certainly play a role in someone's analysis of a character when looking at why they do the things they do, etc. i wouldn't call the tripe i post here analysis but we have fun. or at least try. idk i just answer questions i get sent. it's nothing to get heated about! all the characters are "bad" in their own way, just like real people are. it's a silly slapstick cartoon indeed, but it holds a lot of meaning to me and a bunch of other folks on here. i try to avoid being dismissive about it for that reason.

#if you put ed edd n eddy in front of a bunch of neurodivergent queers you can't expect us to be normal about it #i used to be embarrassed for how much i love this show but i'm embracing that shit tbh #it brings me joy and i've gotten to talk to some very cool people bc of it #also it's an objectively good ass show lets be real here #text

I've been going insane over i.o.n on twitter the past two days and I feel like it's only fair I show them here too

#go watch it #it's not a suggestion it's an order #/silly #but genuinely #it's sooooo cool!! the premise and the art style alone stands out A LOT #also if you like pathetic babygirl men you should absolutely watch it; Cracklin is the epitome of that #it still doesn't have a proper tag so uh. #i.o.n #btw as of posting this i didn't know about the canon human designs #but I'm sticking with mine lol #i love drawing ugly disheveled men #object show #my art

Hello!

I stumbled upon your blog when searching for anything about Hiron Ennes’ book Leech and ur blog is so nice! I love Leech so so much and am hoping to find folks to talk about it with because I’ve been obsessed with it since I read it over year ago. I hope this isn’t too weird of an ask but it’s just such an excellent book!

hello and welcome, and thanks for your kind words!! it's delightful to find another LEECH enthusiast in the wild--what a deeply fucked up weird little book that has my whole heart!

i was actually shuffling books around last weekend to make space for what i'll read this year (i'm in a temporary living situation, so most of my library is in storage), and i decided to leave LEECH unboxed so i can reread it this fall. i'm obsessed with the POV and the voice and i'm VERY looking forward to a tear-it-apart reread now that i know some of what is going on. what a neat book!!

#answered #asks #weirdest-tree-in-the-forest #i don't get enough mail to have a mail tag so i appreciate you dropping into my inbox a lot for real! #i love talking books!! #i'm sorry i don't have more than general incoherent screaming for you but GOSH WHAT A BOOK!!! #(i tend to forget specifics not long after i read because of who i am as a person (object permanence of a fruit fly)) #but enough of this one stuck with me that i KNOW i want to reread it closely and love it all over again but Deeper #i'm just. so completely obsessed with the POV and the voice and the tone and the vibes and the atmosphere #leech (beloved) #leech #hiron ennes #(also the author's name is just like. so supremely cool.) #(i know that's not actually the book but. hot damn what a NAME.)

Ventus, who has spent days on the streets of Old Mondstadt listening to the voices of the people. Who has silently watched as parents take care of their young. Watch kids escort their aunts to the stores. The wind around him is so cold

He plays his lyre. Its the only thing he has on him. He would rather die than say where he acquired it, and at the end of the day its his lyre.

Ventus closes his eyes. For the breifedt moment he couldn't hear the deafening gales around him. He is in the eye of the hurricane. What song is he even playing? He switched from one track to the other minutes ago and was now improvising a solo.

The families are still talking to each other.

At the end of the day, he is just background music

.

Then one day a creature bumps into him. Radiating the same warmth as a prayer and eyes akin to his god's. Was it a spy? Was it a child? Was it a puppet?

Wearily, he asks for a name. Smiling as he tells the sprite how he wishes to make ballads of the little thing. It flutters around him, occassionally stumbling in mid air like its drunk. It gives out a little squeak as it gestures to itself.

Ventus tries to mimic that chime, but his mouth can't hit the same notes. The sprite speaks more and more, yet Vrntus can't understand a thing. He just smiles and nods as he subconsciously plays his lyre.

Before he knows it, he can feel the chill of night. Or at least what he thinks it night. The elders of the city tell what night is supposed to be, but the winds had carried away those voices a long time ago.

Tales of an object called the moon. How it would shift as the weeks go by. How it could disappear and be reborn once anew- surrounded by her starry sisters.

Night.

He hated it.

He hates how cold it is. How dark it is. How every candle and life is snuffed by the wind.

Yet the creature is still hear, making a nest on his lap.

Its warm.

Letting go of his lyre for just a breif moment, he runs his fingers down the cloak of the sprite. Soft yet smooth. Was this what a bird felt like?

Tomorrow would be another day. Tomorrow he could try to pronounce his ... freind's name better. Tomorrow he could do so much.

Despite the being being on his lap, he felt a warmth in his chest. Something he has never felt before. Something that made him think of protecting this creature.

Ventus rests his eyes as he carries his first friend, unware he would do this everynight til the day he died

*cheers and applause amid tears and sobs*

MAN that was NOT was I was thinking about sad wise but FUCK that hurts

#ready for my tags of insanity until i hit the tag limit? here we go: #i love that there's like PEOPLE and INTERACTIONS there even when just described like 'children escorting aunts to stores' it's so nice #and that contrasting to ventus's loneliness and 'he's just background music' OUGH that hits #also hi in love with the use of a period as a paragraph that's an amazing way to make a pause i'm stealing that from you <3 #the way night is described as like...a mystical thing is so cool #'elders told of an object called the moon' like man. they couldn't see the sky. #and how venti makes little wisp noises bestie couldn't speak but i love that it's so cute #the way venti is described too as being warm and light and making little noises against the cold and dark and silence of night.... #and questioning if wispi was like a bird.... :( #PLUS i know i say this literally every time but i love repetition the repeating of 'tomorrow this' 'tomorrow that' like... #it brings questions!!! is that the first time ventus was thinking about a TOMORROW and not just 'the next day'? #and then the end of 'every night until he died' like fuck... #the way that's said as just a fact like 'yes. he dies btw. this is a sweet moment but don't forget the death' hits #because for a second a SECOND you can forget that and just see this nameless bard meeting a wisp and finally having a friend #and not being alone #but then BOOM remember reality. #he is dead. he died. #anyway i loved it :0 #hi steel! #sorry for my insanity

The fun thing about learning more crafts is that you can see objects and think, "I can make that" instead of "I could buy that."

#adventures in crafting #which should probably become a catchall term for these things #thought occurred because i came across a picture of a mini book ornament #with actual text of christmassy parts of books on its pages #and a bookmark that doubled as the hanger #and i realized with delight that this would be completely doable with my limited bookbinding skills #and be a way to use them without making things that take up too much space #and now that i'm looking for ways to use up my air dry clay all sorts of little objects are potentially within my reach #this doesn't apply to everything because i'm not very good at most things #but i do have more options now #the book ornament is so exciting because i love reading by the christmas tree and this would be so convenient! #pretty *and* useful! #now it's just a question of choosing texts #ornament i saw had the little women christmas scene #could also be cool to have a christmas mystery: the flying stars and/or the adventure of the blue carbuncle #or maybe little christmas poems or the gift of the magi or something

i always try to make shorter posts bc i can't imagine people wanting to see me ramble on forever abt a dumb teen love triangle show but it seems like more people are seeing the longer posts so ig i'll keep doing those (for all like 7 of you lol).

i think we need to talk abt conrad and jeremiah on a fundamental level (especially in relation to adam and susannah). as a team jeremiah girl, i love conrad (except for s2e8 and yall don't gotta agree but i like to state my biases). and i see a lot of "adam expected a lot from conrad" "susannah expected a lot from conrad" and both of those are true, but the same goes for jeremiah.

conrad: adam always loved conrad more and thought conrad was better; he treated him like he was better, and so he expected conrad to act like he was better. he holds such a high expectation for him that stems from the fact that he thinks conrad is just like him. and conrad enjoys it, he enjoys being just like his dad. until he finds out he cheated and then he hates it: he quits football, he fights with adam, he puts a distance between them, he hates him. and he makes it clear. and susannah never liked to deal with big, or messy, or complicated, or hard, or anything other than fun and happy. so susannah doesn't wanna deal with conrad and his complicated emotions and develops this kinda "let him work it out on his own" thing. so conrad thinks that he should be better that he needs to be better and that he's wrong for feeling things that are complicated and messy so he keeps them to himself. he shuts down. but everyone notices when he shuts down, when he pushes them away. they all notice and they all want to help but he won't let them because he thinks they don't want the messy and the complicated, he just thinks he's a lot better at hiding it than he is.

jeremiah: adam always saw jeremiah and less than conrad, and he almost saw him as "susannah's kid" bc he didn't relate to him. jeremiah cried, and he felt things, and he was honest about them and adam didn't like that. so jeremiah has never had to be better bc adam never thought of jeremiah as even good enough. so jeremiah tries to be like adam: he plays football, and he does the fireworks, and he tries to solve things between conrad and adam to make adam happy. but he also tries not to cry, he tries not to show his emotions. and he's bad at it, when he gets upset you can tell, you can see it in his face. he cries. but susannah (again) didn't like to deal with messy and complex and difficult so jeremiah felt as though nobody wanted him when he felt things. so when you see his emotions it's not his real, deep, (again) messy ones, it's his surface ones. but this does him a "favor" that conrad doesn't have: nobody notices anything is wrong. they can read his surface emotions and everyone deals with it and moves on, but he's so good at hiding his real feelings that nobody notices when something deeper is going on. to quote susannah he's "too good at being fine", he's had to be susannah's (and everyone else's) "sunshine boy" his whole life so he (the same as conrad but in different ways) thinks that nobody wants his complicated emotions. so he chases his father's approval but knows he'll never get it and the only person that ever understood him (even if she didn't want to deal with him) is dead. it's hard to talk to his best friends, adam sucks, and laurel is belly and steven's mom and also relates to conrad more. nobody notices he's struggling bc he's good at hiding it, and once he's not nobody is there for him to notice he's not okay

all in all, adam sucks, susannah was (as much as i hate to say it) a (generally) bad mom, and all of them need therapy. and no, jeremiah isn't objectively better than conrad, and conrad isn't objectively better than jeremiah. they were just treated differently and act and react differently because of it. nuance.

#jeremiah fisher #conrad fisher #the summer i turned pretty #tsitp #tsitp jeremiah #tsitp conrad #let me know if yall like longer posts or shorter #there's only like 7 of you so ig objectively it doesn't matter but oh well #also like #i love seeing you guys' comments and different takes and opinions #please *respectfully* lay 'em on me #if you're team conrad that's cool #or team jeremiah #ig really i'm team therapy

i've been replaying kh 3 (despite not having finished it because when it released life just threw 1239893849 things at me and the horrors haven't ceased) and i'm in arendelle. almost halfway through. i want to play it. but out of spite i don't want to finish it. but i also want to fight my husband

(rambling in tags)

#i can't be too mad tho because kh means everything to me and i'm just so happy arendelle was even included at all ;w; my 2 favorite things #my personal qualms aside it could have objectively been better; it rehashes frozen too much EVEN FOR ME #i LOVEEEE sköll tho. even tho that's all we get for hans (he's a non-presence and i WISH i knew why) i LOVE HIM HE'S REALLY COOL AND EPIC #but i'm seriously disheartened by disney's deliberate attempts to act like he never existed. it was funny @ first but now i'm just sad 😭 #idc if y'all think he's lame i think some other popular disney charas are lame LMAO and i could go off abt it but i won't #the music is immaculate in that world tho of course. esp in that battle + the labyrinth #i also miss the days where disney was more of a presence in kh in general; esp the villains; and the 2 were more integrated #i've been rotating sköll in my brain because i'm cooking up an AU 😋 #meows

If you don't find harrow as interesting to discuss as the other characters I totally understand, but I have been dying to find meta from people much smarter than me about the paragraph from Crux in NtN: "Lady,..you've gone away again, my lady; where have you run?...Who are you this time, if not my Lady Harrowhark?" (pg 459, hardcover) Have you seen any? I'm surprised I haven't seen it mentioned more, but the NtN has a ton to talk about so

oh! well, i certainly do find harrow, gideon, ianthe, and so on very interesting. i just happen to have a specific illness that makes me very sure i remember almost everything mercymorn and augustine & co have said, and much easier to discuss. that is a fascinating little moment! it strikes me as something that is hard to write meta about, per se, because it refers to something concrete that the author clearly knows but hasn't quite surfaced in the realm of the novel. it's harder to analyze, though potent for speculation! depending on how much you trust crux and his read of harrow's childhood, it certainly suggests a pattern of dissociation or hiding. (again, not enough there for me to call it evidence, but it feels in line with, say, discussions of harrow as a person with schizophrenia? i've seen some thoughtful pieces on that before, though i'm not able to link to any off the top of my head.) it's a brief window into harrow's childhood that harrow herself may not be able to recognize and gideon, in gtn, certainly would not have been privy to. crux's rhetoric, though superficially soothing, is also, perhaps, a way of seeing the different ways harrow came to understand her profound duty to the ninth. i think what i feel certain about re: that moment is it very clearly sets up context for crux's interactions with gideon/kiriona, which strike me as the primary dramatic purpose for crux's return. the comparison between moment of (as best as he can manage anyway/undeniably twisted) tenderness and reaffirmation and the way crux treats paul (crotchety/resentful to outsiders) and gideon (undeterred, spiteful hatred) remind us a) the initial dynamics gideon/harrow were steeped in (and possibly how far they have or haven't come?) and b) how lmao deeply vile and personal crux's hatred for gideon is. it's that "why doesn't it feel good" that is, within nona, still the showstopper for me. (crux being a mutation of a father figure is important there, for sure.) if there was something more you had on your mind, i'd love to hear it! but considering those paragraphs without any further context... to me, they're wonderful bits of colour, but not necessarily enough on their own to suggest much. possibly there will be more to them in alecto -- also possibly it refers to something that will never make the narrative!? however, if people have cool thoughts please link them in he replies.

#thank you for the ask anon i'm v touched but very sorry i'm not more useful #asks #i'll be very honest i check a very limited number of blogs for cool thoughts so i'm not always up to date #though i love see what the people think #really very possible this could link up to something in htn that i erased from my memory while looping augustine spitting teeth into #his little sink again and again and again #i think what is definite is mostly kiriona pushing deeper and deeper into the ninth and reconnecting with how deeply hostile it is #& that being fuel for her to believe more fully in the narrative john has spun for her #it's also a moment for the narrative to try and give us not an objective but an outsider's perspective #we see aiglemene's fondness for gideon and loyalty to gideon (and notably Not towards harrow) much more clearly through nona's eyes #sorry if this is just fully renarrating the text for you #something something also mb about how per tamsyn there are two 'found family' (critical) narratives in nona (john + disciples / #nona / pyrrha / campal) but something possibly dramatically there to bringing them back to the initial 'found family' (awful) of the ninth #there is a parallel #uhh okay that is all i've got here #it's a fascinating line! but as i said i'm not sure it's anything we can crack here but perhaps someone else has more robust thoughts!! #ntn spoilers

#the SAM can only exist if you think it's cool for ppl to treat men how they've been treating women this whole time #as sex objects not worthy of love or respect #because how come every time someone is “-romantic” it always winds up like this #'yeah i'll give a woman the time of day but i'm not trying to be seen in public with no gayboys' #'yeah i'll go on a date with a woman but men all ur getting is a 10min disappointing blowback and a ghost' #and it's the fact that that will be funny to some of you #if you feel that way ur not a feminist. u are very much upholding the patriarchy. #and the quicker we can agree that we're all oppressed under it the quicker we can get to some actual solutions #because 'make a sexuality that's the exact opposite of woman's oppression' ain't it #tho i also think it's funny how y'all have no problem when it goes the other way either lol #no critical thought just valid!!!

My weakness is that I'm perpetually coming up with fic ideas that are super cool but also require me to read like, 80 issues of comics before I can write it.

#this was batman for dummies #this is also why I haven't written anything for the cass pilgrim AU #because I haven't been able to convice my brain that I could actually write it without reading #like #all 100 issues of superboy #objectively #I understand it's excessive #subjectively #I'm like 'but I need to know all of his love interests!' #anyway #other fic ideas in this category include the untitled JPV fic i don't know if i'll ever write #and the huntress x green arrow team up fic that's super cool in my head #carthago delenda est

Decided fuck it and making the wikis for my girls in gdocs bc I think I can format it well enough and I've gotten 1K words into Eve's, just hitting Sastasha (wherein details likely more scattered bc there on they follow story with additions) and desperately trying to find the line between "she's a sex worker" and "I'm wildly horny for my own OC and am unashamed about it"

#personal; #raine plays ffxiv; #“have i mentioned it a normal number of times? is that paragraph about puberty weird?? like it's relevant to her whole Thing #but is it weird??? who cares its staying in but i don't know where the line between “good god” and “yeah that tracks” is when it comes to #sexualizing my girl bc like. she is MEANT to be a litle “”mary sue“” in the “everyone wants to fuck her” way but that's also not ALL she is #but not yet. rn that's most of who she is. she doesn't let herself be much else until she gotta #she is a Tool and she has her Objective. she just gets too many objectives and turns into an exhausted Swiss army knife #anyway i'm rambling #write too much about Eve and she pokes her head in and makes it hard to shut up about her bc she's hot and cool and i love her
