#resting fish face

[basuralindo]

Hey do you think Jamil has trouble seeing people his age as peers?

Like, growing up having to be a caretaker to a guy literally a few months older than him, always expected to act like the adult in the situation, expected to work with adults and adopt their perspectives and pick up their slack. Do you think he just, forgets sometimes?

I mean we've seen him go into caretaker mode with other sophomores, and the only people I've seen him take seriously are juniors like Vil who also act much older than they should have to (his reactions to Leona look more like a trauma response and I don't wanna get into it here). People like Malleus and Cater still somewhat get the caretaker treatment. Like I just highly doubt that he subconsciously realizes he's actually part of his age group

Aaand that inevitably brings up Azul, who also acts like he thinks he's older than he is. Whether you're looking at it from a shipping angle or not, he reacts to Azul like an actual peer. With older students, he seems more in his element but there's still a status hierarchy which he compulsively reacts to. With Azul he doesn't acknowledge any status worth respecting or see him as someone who needs to be looked after. He just bickers like an equal, in a way that implies he actually does see Azul as a real peer, like subconsciously he's categorized this guy into the same group as himself, who was previously alone on that level (he gets like this more with the twins too, over time, but it seems to start with Azul).

And my favorite part about this is, while that response stems from them both acting more like adults in general, they elicit a pettiness from each other which drags them both down to actually acting their own age, and I just love that. Their characters are perfect foils for each other and it seems to make them both less isolated in a way.

#idk how to fully explain this thought in the azul department #but other than that its... yeah. forced maturity is so fucking isolating #I'm not surprised the only people he seems to hang around with are the fish even though he claims to hate them #since they seem to be in a similar boat with that #jamil viper #on a more shippy note: #I feel like Jamil NEEDED someone who he didn't feel the need to respect. in order to avoid falling into programmed behaviors #he's able to be a person around Azul in a way that nobody else can give him #specifically because Azul CAN keep up. but doesn't command his respect in any way that his employers would force him to acknowledge #and stubbornly refuses to leave despite Jamil being an asshole in his desperate attempts to feel some sense of freedom and control #which results in him wearing himself out enough to calm down and socialize while actually being treated with respect and equality anyway. #And it seems like Azul needed to find someone that he couldn't just attain or control from behind his own walls #he's desperate for the attention of someone who refuses to let him play the role he's developed to distance himself from others #so he has to treat himself more like a real person in order to get what he wants #which is a guy who challenges him enough to prove that it's not just him and the twins vs the ignorant masses #he's spent so long building himself a fortress of wealth and arrogance to protect him from the rest of the world #and now he's faced with the fact that he can't stay in there and still get what he wants no matter how many well practiced tricks he uses #and suddenly they're both just teenagers bickering in school with a peer like everyone else for the first time in their lives #this got off topic

my completed world of horror runs! (2020)

their stories were absolutely wild ones but they were still able to make it through the apocalypse

#kagarts #world of horror #tw eyestrain #tw scopophobia #I picked haru as my first guy to play #he’s got a cigarette addiction and nearly got choked to death by a spirit phone #but then he beat it with a shovel and made it through #second is aiko and it was my ‘oh god’ run bc I nearly died multiple times throughout #accidentally wore a mask and it removed her face #one girl one knife against a guy who was trying to make mermaids with fish tails and human torsos #got his axe though and the rest of the run was a fight for my life #overall a pretty fun roguelite but I think hades took over around that time so that interest shifted greatly

My favourite Chilchuck expression yet

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #chilchuck #listen I too would make that face #if my friend was trying to convince me that eating a mermaid is ethically okay #because it's more fish than person #but also Chilchuk's mental journey for the rest of the chapter #as he comes to terms with eating demihumans #is freaking hilarious #this man has the best expressions #with Marcille as a close second

Sister bonding time with Pleasant & Unpleasant

They get along better now that they don't live with their parents... something about not having to perform and being happy or some shit like that.

#pleasant & unpleasant #lilith pleasant #angela pleasant #I feel like angela would cut her hair honestly #lilith would grow hers out to like a crazy length and maintain it really well too #also lilith should be taking music not villainy #and angela shouldn't even be in school #girl wanted to be a fishing boat captain #let her fish #i also headcanon that lilith is super friendly while angela has resting bitch face and hates most people

[welcometoteyvat]

it's easy saying characters are similar to each other like this or like that but it's hard to show in a short scene........ so many genshin chars i'm like yeah they should talk but it'll take them 20 scenes and a year of subtleties to have 1 mindbreaking event that forces them to vocalize their trauma and i cannot wait that long; more importantly i can't stick with one fic for that long either

throwing xiao and yelan into the soup pot to marinate as i speak

#i rewatched ye.lan's story quest and dear god she has so many references to fishing #guess who fished for a living as a child. NING.GUANG???? they're insane #people don't talk about those two enough besides one person here and we also don't talk enough about yelan and yanfei #like. chasm gang?? yelan just randomly namedrops yanfei in her sq?? guys..... #and then her and xiao god........ bone deep grief concealed by either the whittling of one thousand years on your psyche or cunning smiles #'for the first time she stopped，for a very long time' can we talk about yelans vision stories guys please #she's so insane..... she's so cursed.... she needs to beat up childe... i need to see her bloody with a smile on her face #and then she needs to have a rest in someone's arms and have a steaming pot of spicy tea poured for her after a long long day #ramblings!

@silvermoon424 shared a big collection of Picrews yesterday that can be filtered by what features they have. I love things that let me make my mermaid paladin, Philyre.

#personal #my oc #I don't draw Philyre often because her skin and hair are both reflective silver #like a schooling fish #which makes her pretty tedious to render properly #she's also like the queen of resting bitch face #she's tall and intimidating and doesn't smile often #but in truth she's just socially awkward!

It’s so fun because I know that being pretty isn’t any sort of actual value as a person but hell it’d be nice to be recognized as good looking at some point

#I’m feeling v emo #the way I was brought up + multiple other factors #means I try my damnedest to be useful and helpful because I know I’m nothing special unless I do that #it’s fun. #personal #this isn’t even my fishing for any of y’all to fawn over how apparently gorgeous I am #i know I have an awful face; my mother told me to fix my (neutral resting) expression multiple times #rant in tags #it’d just be fucking NICE to be able to float on through from just being pretty

Men are my weakness (as in, I am very very bad at drawing them). Rigel and Voleno, 2/3s of Sana’s parents! Designs not final cos when will they ever be final lmao.

#Rigel's vibe is like #ex-femboy #current fem-man #he's not like- that fem but he's a very different vibe to brick shithouse Voleno #Voleno just wants to fish/grill/whatever dads do these days #idk I'm a lesbian I have no clue what they get up to #Voleno has resting disappointed face #I'm not actually sure what his smile would look like #... a cursed drawing for another day #Frameshift #oc #queer ocs #poly #polyam mlm #polyam #parents #original characters #lgbtq

looking up grad faculty and they have pictures with their students in waders in a river somewhere: *foaming at the mouth* let me work in your lab

#i am so normal about freshwater ecology i promise #i will not start crying over small fish and mussels #i promise not to stick my face in the water to get a better look at anything #i will be so so normal #please let me walk around in a creek in the woods for the rest of my life. i need it for my soul

[squidult]

i think my eyes hae gotten worse

#thoughts #actually i feel pretty confident about that #why do i say this? #my phone cant be a hands length away from my face before things start to blur #i have to squint to read this just resting my phone on my belly #and the white on blue tagging is especially hard to parse #my theme is in dark mode so text is a little easier to make out #but yeah #i have glasses and they still work ofc #but man #sometimes you forget that having a hard time seeing is a disability and that prescription glasses are disability aides #Cool Robot Eyes That Let Me See Colours 2 When #fish world problems #also i know after a point you are considered legally blind; when does that occur? should i plan for next year or next week?

thinking about arguing with husband!gojo. it’s funny because he’s the strongest sorcerer alive with several other, more wicked enemies harboring one sided hate for him, yet he’s anxiously glancing at you every now and then as you hiss at him. you’re the only one who can make him doubt his strength.

he usually finds you cute when you’re mad, but right now he doesn’t really appreciate the way your face is scrunched up and how you’re yelling at him.

it’s not his fault. he thinks you’re being so dramatic.

“you’re laughing at me,” you deadpan. “why do you never take things i say seriously?”

“because i honestly don’t think it’s that serious,” he fires back, and your eyes narrow. oh, fuck.

arguing with your husband is never fun. it’s probably because the both of you are stubborn; you’re stubborn because you’re simply right all the time, and satoru’s stubborn because if you’re not right, then he is.

you pause for just a second, but it’s enough to sprout a moment of extreme tension between you and your husband.

“right,” you scoff after you inhale sharply. “you just don’t care, do you?”

“don’t fucking say that,” satoru snaps. “i do care. that’s why i’m here.”

it takes everything in you to not shoot him another death glare. “so i should be thankful for the bare minimum?”

satoru blinks. he would’ve flinched, but he refuses to let you have that sort of power over him. “i’m not giving the bare minimum.”

“yes you are,” you argue back, voice straining as you swallow a lump of anger down the back of your throat.

the both of you are still. it feels like an eternity passes before the anger in you wanes. you’re exhausted and this fight with satoru is surely going to make the both of you upset enough to not talk for the rest of the night.

“i’m sorry that i’m not good enough,” satoru says, breaking the silence. you’ve never heard his voice so small, so pathetic—he’s never, ever shown you this side of him, and you’re starting to feel that dreading pit of guilt tug at your gut.

“that’s not what i meant,” you force yourself to say, sighing.

“but that’s what you’re thinking,” satoru mumbles. he avoids looking at your face.

“no it’s not,” you deny. “it’s never been about that.”

satoru gives you a wary look. “then what is it about? because i’ve done everything i can.”

“everything? really?” you sneer. “do you even love me anymore?”

silence. satoru swears he can hear your heart break.

“baby, don’t say that,” he groans, “c’mon, we were ten points away from three stars. that’s a single plate—one you didn’t turn in because you somehow forgot how to dash!”

you whip around to glower at satoru, your face twisting into an offended expression. “you set the kitchen on fire! how could i do something like serving a dish if the kitchen is on fire?!”

“baby, it’s the same button that it always has been this entire game!” he whines. “and you set the kitchen on fire! you keep forgetting to take the rice off the stove!”

you sigh exasperatedly, crossing your arms to act like some sort of shield between you and satoru’s (truthful) words.

“but you don’t chop up your stupid fish!” you protest. “so i end up doing five things at once!”

satoru opens his mouth to speak, but he knows you’re in the right. he opts to click his tongue instead.

“and every time i asked for help,” you add, frowning, “you just kept bringing out more of the dumbass cucumbers! we don’t have counter space for that!!!”

“that’s for prep to maximize our sushi making! throw it on the floor!”

“are you kidding me? that’s so unsanitary!”

“it’s a game!”

you’re both panting by the end of the fight. you’re biting down on your inner cheek and satoru is scratching the nape of his neck awkwardly.

“… sorry,” he mumbles. “i won’t bring out cucumbers anymore. and i’m also sorry for being mean about you not knowing how to dash.”

“good,” you huff. “‘cause i was seriously not gonna play anymore.”

“and…?” he prods, nudging you in your ribs. you can tell what he wants just by the sound of his voice.

“and i’m sorry for getting mad at you even though you’re doing you’re best at carrying me in this game…” you murmur, rolling your eyes.

satoru’s face brightens and he places a wet kiss on your cheek. “you’re forgiven.”

“love you, dummy.”

“love you too, baby.”

“no more cucumbers unless the ticket calls for them,” you remind him pointedly.

“yes, chef!”
