#semblance of sanity

[3ambrainrot]

If anyone wants really good MHA anime analysis, I 100% recommended checking out The Custodians, A Goodwin TV, Semblance of Sanity because they all have really insightful theories being anime onlyies and really hit the nail on the head every time. Also they’re just so entertaining to watch. They really try and think about MHA’s themes and don’t just take things at surface level like a lot of anime onlyies do for pure reaction.

Idk I always look forward to any of their uploads because it’s just so much fun

You can ignore this but I fr fr love them and their stuff and I think any of you would enjoy it too

Zenith the Silver AKA The Dark Urge AKA the Chosen of Bhaal AKA the Prophet of the End AKA The Armageddon-Watcher and like a million other things he calls himself throughout the game cus he cant pick one

#my art #the dark urge #bg3 #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 #zenith #what if i told you im obsessed with this FREAK #he has like 3 more outfits but i literally cant be fucking bothered to draw them cus i like being normal and having a semblance of sanity #the middle one is strictly ceremonial and he does not wear it often at all for two reasons #one being that there just arent very many important bhaalist holidays #and the other being that they typically end with a fully clothed dip in the blood pools so it takes forever to get them ready again #the one on the right is more for the cold weather #one on the left is like his more general armor for everyday mass murder

semblances are fun and all, like i could spend eons writing essays about raven's and qrow's semblances don't tempt me and as such there's definitely plenty of opportunities to use them for character study and so on BUT

it's becoming incredibly more frustrating trying to slot them into rwby's "power system" in a way that makes sense (to me).

like. first there was a humanity created by the gods and magic. then they got dusted -> "man born from dust" uses remnants of magic to light the way and fight the creatures of darkness, and aptly call this power 'dust'. aura is little less obvious, but ozpin / oscar uses magic shield of some kind, so there's room to explore (and expand with different aura techniques). maidens are obviously elemental magic without the limitations of dust (no need for aura to activate). silver eyes are from the god of light and the gods shapeshift, so there's a connection there too to the "old world".

semblances... don't really have that "connection". sure, you can say "well it's magic, duh" and be done with it, but everything else is so clear cut that i personally just find it an unsatisfying answer.

plus, at times semblances go far beyond what we've seen magic do, but sometimes they also feel... redundant; sure, glynda's telekinesis is cool and all, but surely mastery over gravity dust could serve the same purpose? (and then something like pyrrha's polarity is basically just a extremely limited version of that.)

so, as far as the "power system" goes, everything is either straight up magic / sourced from the gods or remnants of magic from the world that once was... except semblances, and while it would be nice to say they're a completely separate thing, humanity 2.0 special etc, they're. they're still connected to aura, requiring it just as dust does to actually use........... which is A Problem. to me.

#legitimately shaking semblances to fit in #for my own sanity's sake!!! #also might as well tag this #au stuff #since this whole spiel is derived from au thoughts

Bear with me for a moment while I head down this crazy rabbit hole of theories fueled by the mania I’m experiencing while waiting for Bad Batch season 3 trailer:

Okay so here’s some run-on sentences and incomplete thoughts

what if the updates star wars is putting out is more cryptic hints for the next season? The nomination post for season 2 of the bad batch has an image from season 1. Trace was only in season 1. Now qui-gon, specifically the concept art for specifically ghost qui-gon... wonder if this means Obi-wan...

wait

what if Qui-gon is reaching out to Omega (remember, I’m crazy)

Still haven't shaken the feeling she may be force sensitive and I have reasons

In season 1, when they rescue Ruby, Omega tells Wrecker that he's scaring Ruby. Wrecker replies with "you named that thing?" then a later episode with Roland Durand--he calls the thing Ruby. Like, it's been her name the whole time. How did Omega know?

During the war chest episodes, they focused on Omega panicking before it crashed to the ground, but then she also braced herself a few seconds before it touched down. how did she know (this one is a stretch I get that)

Gungi trying to teach her meditation, I mean, maybe she could connect with Qui-gon on accident

Anyway drop your theories or telling me I’m crazy ✌🏻

A stubborn but kinda humorous Robin stepping back into HQ after a mission (that Moon already return from, who is nervous and fidgety bc he lost sight of Robin) is suspiciously holding their side.

“So, where were-“

“So I got stabbed lmao :)” And punctuates every step they take with an “ow”

Anon I admire your determination to give an animatronic a heart attack gfhdjs

Pre-stabbing/ This is the stabbing? Dusk freezes, trying to work past the cognitive dissonance of "banter! everything fine!" and "wait. 'ouch'? stabbing?", but then he's on them. Not roughly, but insistently moves their hand away from their side, and then it's basically the stabbing comic but with the added guilt that he wasn't even there. He already blames himself in the scenario where he was there (and out of reach, whatever he may think), but without any details? Maybe with time they can convince him to take it easy on himself, but in that moment it feels like a fact that settles in his nonexistent gut - this is his fault.

And boy, is he making a fuss. They aren't taking another step on their own, he's carrying them until he absolutely has to give them up (probably when the ambulance shows up), and no one in the vicinity will miss the fact that Robin got hurt because he's just all over the place, yelling for and at higher ups to fix this, and whatever protests they have fall on deaf ears. Periodically looks down with the most desperately hopeful expression, reassures them that they'll be fine - though ironically scares them even more, because this isn't the Dusk they know

Post-stabbing? I'd like to think that Robin wouldn't be quite so blasé about it - but maybe they do try to hide it, because they don't want him to worry. Either way the freeze moment absolutely falls away, there is zero hesitation before he checks them over. Even as Robin tries to reassure him that they'll be fine, it's not that bad, the other was worse and they survived that, please don't worry - he doesn't process any of that. His thoughts are just filled with the fact that it happened again, and this time he wasn't even there. Scarily stoic but all in all does the same - picks them up, gets help, doesn't let go until he has to.

Afterwards tries to deal with the crushing guilt, neglects his own solo missions to shadow Robin (more so than he already did), and won't even lean into the rival act for a long while. He'll just be silent, and keep an eye on them, until they snap.

They don't need a babysitter - the job is high risk, they're human, things happen. They're alive, and they plan on staying that way, so why won't he go back to normal?

And this is the moment where I'm officially off the deep end, have another alt reveal.

Because Dusk breaks. They've never seen him like that. He can't cry, but he's clinging to them, on his knees, and just shaking all over as he holds them. Begs them to please let him do this - he doesn't want a third time, he can't have a third time. Every time they leave for the night he worries that he won't see them again, and he can't do anything about it because the rules prohibit them from sharing their identities and he won't cause them trouble with the higher ups, but please, in the few hours he gets, please just let him watch. Maybe - maybe for the few day shift missions they have, let Dawn watch -

Dawn?

His work partner. He should have told them ages ago, yes, it was a joke that got away from him - his counterpart, a Sun animatronic, who handles undercover intel collection. They can't miss him, really, dressed as he is -

And for Robin a few things click into place. They're frozen for a moment as they process, don't even hear Dusk still talking, and the coincidences just slot into place. And it makes sense. They don't get angry (maybe a little, but mostly at themself), and then their shoulders sag and they put their hands on his.

"Hey," they say, softer than he expects, and he quietens. Freezes when they pull down their mask, and smile.

"Let's go home, okay?"

"Home - What -"

"I didn't know I have two tenants. Sneaky, I have to admit. I thought Sun was just a private person, but I suppose I didn't see the forest for the trees."

The trembling stops, only to start back up again when he starts laughing - buries his head where he's leaning near their stomach, near those scars. Shaking with laughter when things click into place for him, too. They give him the time to process, maybe absentmindedly stroke their thumbs over his shoulders, just to show him they're there, still there.

After a bit, the laughter slowly peters out, and he lets out one of those tinny sighs, that are half an imitation of something human, and half something completely unique. Looks up at them, and just smiles.

"Home sounds good."

honestly the golden version of three houses rly is just claude the insufferable step brother in law to edelgard who bears witness to her step brother dimitri and his boyfriend being bubbly and flirty saps at every family gathering

#DCB Comments #DimiClaude #she brings her emo best friend hubert with her to retain some semblance of sanity #even tho the boys aren't doing much pda they're just being tooth rottingly sweet at each other #and introducing each other to their family very happily and excitedly #that's the golden route and that's the only way i can accept a golden route thank you for your time #(i mean what did u expect if im not thinking about tellius im thinking abt dimiclaude)

[write-it-motherfuckers]

#well the good news is that the technical issues are fixed. Bad news is that some other stuff has happened and I'm now desperately #clinging to some semblance of sanity while I try to sort it out. Let's hope my grip is as strong as this sweet little kitten #I'll try to be back soon Darlings

WHY IS GMMTV SO SET ON MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A CLOWN

and i mean, don’t get me wrong, im happy for anyone who was looking forward to wednesday club, but also the first available slot is november 4 after only friends ends and we still don’t know which show is gonna take its place. what we DO KNOW is that the new last twilight trailer is ready so PLEASE. IM BEGGING. CAN THEY JUST RELEASE IT LIKE AT THIS POINT I’VE ACCEPTED MY FATE OF GETTING INVOLUNTARILY COMMITTED ONE OF THESE DAYS BUT I’D MUCH RATHER IT BE BECAUSE IM GOING FULL ISABELLE ADJANI IN THE TUNNEL SCENE OF POSSESSION OVER THE TRAILER THAN BECAUSE THE WAIT MADE ME GO INSANE

UNLESS!!!!!!! they’re actually giving us an ‘inside’ episode on november 4 and airing the first episode on november 11, in which case it would make sense to release the trailer on [checks her data] THURSDAY!!!!!!!!!

THURSDAY IS GONNA BE THE DAY MARK MY WORDS [gets dragged into a padded room]

#GENUINELY LOSING ANY SEMBLANCE OF SANITY I HAD LEFT #i guess thursday makes sense since sea is gonna be on live house on wednesday #it's not very common for trailer releases but it has happened #[tries to convince herself] #SAM AT THIS POINT IM HOLDING YOU ON THE SPIRITUAL PLANE TO TRY TO REMAIN SANE #last twilight the series #m: ask

Thinking abt yandere marastruck jing yuan tn…….

#pattering on the roof #only retains the semblance of sanity necessary to remember that you’re his 🫣 #he seems so lucid sometimes……. almost normal………. #holds you so tightly it hurts. buries his face in your neck. nips at your pulsepoint incessantly. #you can almost forget the wild look in his eye and the way he’s whisked you off to some remote moon with no escape #he says your presence grounds him. you know if it really did he’d never have trapped you in the first place #very good for reader as a spouse but also Even Better w reader as like #some desk monkey subordinate who had no clue abt his feelings until they open their front door to sprouted branches and a brandished glaive #cw.yandere

I just realized that this past month has given me so many people I need to credit in my thesis

#hannah's rambles #for those who are new here: #i genuinely value this fandom and friends I've met through it so much that y'all help me retain enough of a semblance of sanity #enough to get me through the first 3 semesters of grad school (so far) #if we are mutuals and have ever interacted like twice. you're in my acknowledgements. #this past semester has been BRUTAL but only 2 more weeks!! and then I'm off to san fran for a conference yayayayayaay #next semester I'm taking 1 class and dumping all my remaining credits into research to finish my master's level thesis #“wait are you a phd student or a master's student” yes. i went straight from undergrad to phd track because I'm so silly like that #if we've made each other's acquaintance I'm formally recognizing u and your tangential contributions to science #put that on ur resume lmao

Beef is the type of guy to be stranded on a deserted island with one other person and he instantly suggests kissing and eating each other

#he keeps saying shit I love him lmao #hc9 catchup #and yea I said kissing bc I’m trying to keep some semblance of sanity on this blog lol

[syncast-err0r]

it's so awkward having ppl around me be so pure about sex in the "premarital sex is bad" way when I've gotten so bored of it bc I can't find a good partner to partake in blood play with me

#stabbing or getting stabbed. I'll take either #I'm a switch idc as long as there's blood involved #I'd go as far as torture but I'm paranoid about shit like tetanus so that's another one #actually. i wish someone would beat me up. actively wishing for pain just so i could regain some semblance of sanity #need to feel something ! #need to feel pain #I want to get thrown around #kiln fucks #nsft #kink mentions
