#well i had the worst week of my year so far and it’s only january #i think i cried more in the last few days than i have in the last couple of years #so uh that’s something #new manager has completely ignored my availability and just scheduled me fucking whenever #had a regular who’s usually very nice yell at me over something he KNOWS is completely out of my control #he sort of apologized the next day but what the fuck #i was supposed to get a call sometime this week from the doctor’s office i’ve been referred to #for what should be a very basic procedure #which i was hoping would get done before i leave for Kä summer camp in June #ofc they didn’t call and now i have to bother my regular doctor again #and it probably won’t happen in time because healthcare in this province is a fucking joke #i slipped on black ice riding my bike to work and bashed my shin so hard i can only partially kneel down #and after specifically asking my mom to please not do A Thing for x number of reasons #she ofc went and did The Thing #because god forbid i have some fucking boundaries #also several other things but it’s too much to get into #i just need to vent

aune just healed astarion and said, “I’ll kiss it better later”… excuse me

sobbing but also jumping off the walls but also giggling and kicking my feet

#this has probably *BEEN* in the game but this bitch historically never says her lines so 💀 #im having a moment. #also the actual circumstances that lead up to the healing was the dumbest thing: #we went back to the putrid bog just so I could take screenshots in the swamp lmfao. shadowheart and astarion came along #I ofc did not give enough of a fuck to navigate around the traps in the water because it’s fine they won’t die #but for the first time ever aune and astarion did not make their saving throws from the bleed condition (shadowheart was fine of course 🙄) #'bleeding' turned into 'open wounds' (or maybe we started with open wounds idk) #I was like “oh shit never seen that before! should probably do something about it!” so aune healed astarion #I didn’t heal aune because I wanted to see what would happen #what happened was 'open wounds' turned into 'rotting' which turned into 'flesh rot' lmao 😩 #YEAH IDK WHY SHE KEPT FAILING HER SAVING THROWS??? GIRL????? #oc: durge!aune #astarion x durge!aune #bg3 #my posts

fascinated by how the asoiaf fandom refuses to have any nuance in the books that r entirely based on different perspectives

#asoiaf #fascinating. #this is 100% abt the lyanna elia rhsegar thing bc jesus fucking christ #yes rhaegar cheated on elia and so did cersei and robert and tyrion on sansa too #its almost like rhaegar had a prophesy fuck him in the head since childhood👀 almost like he and elia were an arranged marriage👀 almost #like he didnt love her👀 #like bffr what happened to elia was horrible but its nothing new why r ppl so surprised there was little love in a marriage neither wanted #like have you READ the books nearly every character didnt want their spouse but politics #elia didnt deserve that and neither did her children but dont blame rhaegar for something lannister soldiers did #a song of ice and fire #valyrianscrolls #and god the kingsguard part annoys me sm. yes he took kingsguard with him when he went off to fight #bc kingsguard are a fucking asset to the millitary #anyhow. same is applied to arya and sansa #yes sansa was mean to arya but also: shes 11. a child promised that shell be queen if she acts good and if joff and cersei like her #because of arya sansa's direwolf lady was killed when lady did nothing wrong #and it wasnt arya's fault either bc arya was defending her friend and herself too #but obv sansa was upset and crying. shes 11. ofc she'd say that she wanted arya to die instead of lady she was a CHILD #letd be clear if arya died sansa 100% would've been as or even more upset than when lady or even ned died #sansa and her friends teased arya for having a horse's face. ok. kids r mean? wow

#called my mom at 7am out of a desperate need for validation #had a 37 minute long convo that amounted to ‘you should look into therapy’ #(in a much nicer and more constructive way it was actually a very good conversation’ #and she told me that she’s been in therapy for the last year #and that it did wonders for her mental health #and that she went from being on the verge of divorce #to looking forward to spending her retirement with my dad and expanding her home business to cover health insurance #since my dad is currently unemployed and most likely isn’t getting another job (industry and & age related reasons) #and ofc I’m glad to hear that they’re doing better #but I’m wondering if she got thru everything she needed to in therapy #and if she’s sorry about last winter #when for two days in a row she screamed at me for hours on end #about what a failure I am and how much I’m a drag on the family #how I was responsible for their impending divorce #and she was going to gift my dad divorce papers for Christmas and it would be my fault #how I looked like a clown at my recent graduation #and a bunch of other things #if she’s sorry for how every year since I was 14 she’s screamed at me about how I’m responsible for their being on the rocks #how it’s my fault my siblings will grow up in a broken family and we’ll have to sell the family house of 25 years to pay for the divorce #for when in April 2020 she tried to [redacted] herself in front of me while telling me it was my fault and I’d pushed her that far #all while I whisper-screamed for her to stop bc it was midnight and my siblings weee sleeping in the next room #she has never apologized for any of those and I don’t want to bring it up now #bc I don’t want to relive the past #but I wonder #mother mention cw #negativity cw #divorce cw

the difference between the tumblr and twitter reactions to the boruto time skip designs has been so funny omg

#boruto #naruto #moon posts #im not gonna lie to yall i think the kids are serving DOWWWWWWNNN #like they kinda ate im sorry #there are def very fair critiques like why is sarada wearing louboutins in what looks like a sleeveless dress but is actually a romper #i don't even know a thing about sumire but why does she still look like she's going to school #i actually rly like inojins fuckass bob his whole look is very gender to me actually #chocho looks stunning too but i wish they had went for a crop top instead of a sports bra #i also just remembered inojin isn't wearing a crop top but thats ok b/c he's his own person but he would've slayed that crop top hoodie #kawaki looks sick as always #boruto i actually have no notes for like sasuke passed down looking cunty no matter what as a lesson too #did yall see his sandals yeah he ate that #shikadai got a bigger jacket which i love b/c i think jackets make everything better #i haven't rly seen mitsuki that much but i think he needs to fire his barber #himiwari looks sooooooooooo cute !!!!! my daughter is a teenager now waaaaahhhgg #ive seen a few posts comparing her to hinata which ofc they look similar but i have something to say #she reminds me of naruto a Lot and kushina too #ok thats a separate thing tho #moon tags

#be deadly fucking serious rn PLEASE whatttt. that post that's like 'parents will say something that shapes you as a person #but for them it was just another tuesday' like WHAT JUST HAPPENED #basically if you've been following me since i went to uni then you know first year was an... interesting time for me and my mum #we rowed all the time and it's the most unsettled our relationship has ever been and i do truly believe it was just some unfortunate #external factors like me leaving home would rock the boat enough it was always gonna rejig our dynamic #but on top of that i was her LAST child to fly the nest which she hated AND my sister was in germany being insanely dependent on my mum #so i got sidelined a lot which was shitty at the time but i get it now like im still a bit bitter bc being the eldest everything my sister #does is an exciting first and our age gap means typically our academic big moments tend to cross over #so my a-levels happened during her first year of uni so for me a-levels were the biggest thing ever but ofc her thing was bigger #but when she did HER a-levels it was the biggest thing ever and i was /just/ doing gcses etc and germany was the same #like it was JUST my first year of uni bc meanwhile my sister was living alone in a foreign country. so that sucks and my mum was #defo focused on my sister and i wasn't in a position to be like 'hey i know it doesn't seem like it now you've got one kid through it #but going to university and settling in for the first year is still an insanely stressful and lonely time so please pay attention to me' #and all in all me and my mum just STRUGGLED we fought A LOT and not petty rows either they were really emotionally heavy all the time #and basically what's caused this post is that she said about america 'it'll be the longest ive been away from you' #and i know what she meant like a month out of england is the biggest thing ive ever done and im not even in EUROPE so this is huge #but i kinda said like 'im pretty sure i went a month in first year a couple times without visiting?' AND I MEANT IT CASUAL #BC I AM PRETTY SURE IT'S TRUE LIKE I WASNT EAGER TO GO HOME I WENT SOME WEEKS NOT EVEN RINGING #which REALLY shows how strained it must have been at the time. and she responds with confusion so i pointed out that first year #wasn't a great time for us and again still being casual bc it's such a fundamental truth for me that first year was Bad for me and mum #and she just blinks at me like 'what are you talking about' what. WHAT. like i knew she wasn't paying much attention to me then #but it made me MISERABLE for an entire YEAR like boom can testify bc they had to deal with my bs over the phone the entire time #and my mum just. didn't even notice that we weren't doing well. what. what the fuck even..... baffled by this actually #like i am REELING from this i feel like she just tipped the fundamentals of my world with that #hella goes home

finally did it 🥲

#shockingly satisfied with how things went down in the final fight #illithid!orpheus got the final blow on the netherbrain so he really did do the MOST to save the day #and kestrel convinced him to keep living so he could see lae'zel work to free their people #so it felt like a win for sure #and the epilogue spoke of him like he was still aiding voss in rebelling. which was probably a bug but i'm pretending it's legit. #kestrel ofc went to avernus with karlach and wyll #but she's going to visit halsin in the unshadowed lands and tell the kids there stories #and help the owlbear settle there as well #and shadowheart living in a cottage with 800 animals and her parents DID make me tear up #good endings all around! #court vs bg3 #tav: kestrel

i actually feel as though i am going insane bc i need to do TOMORROWS commissions to get the last story key for kaeya’s story quest because i was an IDIOT and and DIDNT

and now i feel like i’m full of BEES

PLUS. IM GOING ON A TRIP.TOMORROW

so i’m waking up early and doing my commissions and then a story quest bc i’ll be damned if i have to wait three more fucking days to see my favorite traumatized blue haired man

#my sister saw me yesterday when his story quest came out #and i realized i didn’t have enough keys #and i was fucking FUMING #and she was like “(name) you need to calm down” and i was like #“oh im SO FUCKING CALM RN you don’t even KNOW” while grinding my teeth and doing my commissions #i’m actually so upset why tf did i just ASSUME i would have enough story keys #i’m inconsolable #if i get spoilers i’m gonna be putting Diluc In Snezhnaya as the first thing on my kin list (that doesn’t exist) #but at the same time. i want to know so bad #my sister and i were arriving back at home and i was telling her how ME of all people is gonna wake up early #and do my commissions and the quests #and she was like “yeah i was on the hoyolab website earlier and saw a screenshot that i thought you might like” #and i was like “hokyfuckisng SHIT did it. okay answer me one questions. did he talk about—“ #“yes he said The D Word” and i literally said YIPPEE and jumped for joy #we were arriving home at the time and i fucking. skipped across our driveway #and i’ve been in a haze ever since #i feel like i’m. like my blood has been replaced by pure electrolytes. and like im #gonna explode if i don’t DO SOMETHING to occupy my time #was doing my commissions earlier and kaeya’s always on my team (ofc) but i heard one of his idle lines and i #went into such a fit of despair bc it reminded me of how i couldn’t do his story quest yet #DUE TO MY OWN DUMBASS CHOICES #that i. had to take him off my team for the day #AND THEN TWO KF MY COMMISSIONS WERE RIGHT BY DAWN WINERY #LIKE. GENSHIN JS REALKY FUCKING ME OVER HUH #why don’t they just spit in my face and stomp me into the ground i think it would feel better than THIS

[lingeringscars]

i just think there is something about how nat could never forgive herself for javi sacrificing himself for her. she was worse than all of them because she let this kid, her somewhat boyfriend's brother, her own family, her friend, die in her place. it was supposed to be her, she heard the cries from javi and watched him die nonetheless.

but now she didn't watch. she didn't watch at all when it came to lisa. she stole the fish. she intervened with her family. she died in her place. nat healed a part of her when sacrificing herself for lisa. it wasn't right. it wasn't her time. she didn't want to go, but she got to finally pay forward javi's sacrifice in a way that she's never been able to do and always been punishing herself for. she got to heal her inner child by saving lisa. ( the irony is that it may not have happened had she not gone to try and save lisa to begin with. not tipped her off to something happening. these are the consequences of the girls actions. they wanted a hunt through the woods, they got one. they went after shauna and called off services, nat pays the price. misty tries to solve the problem the way she has been but she's not a perfect serial killer and she missed. they covered up the wrong guy at the end of last season. they killed the wrong person at the end of this one. ).

travis didn't break the pact, but neither did she. she did better. (btw travis was on the plane <3)

#yj spoilers #yellowjackets spoilers #i will be honest and say that i did not want it to be nat despite the nagging feeling that it would be #for all the reasons people have pointed out about her arc #but... i actually didn't hate it for all the reasons in this post about the completion of her arc #it IS tragic. it IS fucked up. it SHOULDN'T have happened. #but they called to the wilderness and they went on a hunt through the woods and misty jumped the gun #and nat died to save someone else. nat paid the sacrifice forward. nat drew the queen card and let someone else die in her place and now #now so has shauna but it would have been lisa. it would have been someone nat saw herself in #it would have been someone nat has tried to help all season and did. she could have watched it happen again #but she didn't because she has come too far and they are NOT in the wilderness anymore #they brought it back with them. travis died because of it. because of her. but lisa didn't have to. it could end with her #(it won't. but maybe things will change now. maybe #idk i just actually have feelings about this and i don't blame people for the gut reaction but i think it was a really great conclusion #ofc i wanted her to live ofc i wanted her to have a full life where she heals and is happy. and ofc she won't because they keep #playing a game that no one can win. because they are all traumatized and they're all responsible #meta: nat scatorccio #muse: nat scatorccio #season 2 belonged to you baby

GET OUT OF HERE THIS SHOW IS NOT FOR YOU Y'ALL ARE CREEPS #THEY FEEL SO EMBOLDED TO SAY THE QUIET PART OUT LOUD EVERY SINGLE TIME WITHOUT PROMPTING. I ALWAYS MAKE FUCKING SURE TO NOT ACCUSE BIGOTRY #AT MOST I'LL JUST BE LIKE yeah so straightwashing is a thing that's homophobic so don't do that IF ANYTHING. I NEVER CALL THE PERSON THAT #AND EVERY TIMEEEE THEY JUST GO MASK OFF WITH ''BTW I DONT LIKE THE GAYS'' I OEIUFKGEJRHGUKJDFS EVERY TIME EVERY TIME WTFFFFF #usually being right about things is epic. not this THIS IS JUST..

#also in that vein #the one roommate that I did know ahead of time— #—ok so like for context I bought all the furniture in my room from the previous occupant #and I mentioned in passing that the only other thing I was going to look for was a bookshelf #bc I brought all my books obviously #and anyway when I got home from work she was leaving on another errand #and then text me like oh I'm looking for a bookshelf for you #and then went to ANOthER STORE bc they didn't have any at the first one #and was asking me size and color and stuff #anyway they didn't have the size that I wanted so I said it was fine to just get a smaller one #bc like! I didn't want to be too picky she was going out of her way #and ofc I would just venmo her for it except I don't know her venmo yet #and I can't ask things like a normal person #anyway still a little stressed out by the whole thing like that was literally SO nice of her #and now I just have this one which is fine and I owe her 25 dollars #and also I was so tired by the time I came home and made dinner I just wanted to lie facedown and think of nothing #but instead I had to make furniture decisions and also feel guilty #but yes anyway they are being very nice to me but I am still stressed #the floors are creaky and every time I'm like walking around I feel so exposed it's so loud and I have this stupid need to make no noise

[muirneach]

instagram is convinced i am not only a mother but also one of them helicopter ‘crunchy’ health obsessed and overall paranoid mothers. anyways so a big thing they like over there is never allowing playdates unless if they are also at the other persons house and likeeeee i get it but my mom never ever did that as a kid. playdates r just for kids to hang out why do both parents gotta be there… did anyone here actually grow up like this im curious

#i thought my mom was rather strict as a kid but she was too busy to be a helicopter mom thank god #she is constantly scared im gonna get kidnapped or something to this day but even still she never insisted she had to be at my playdates #she wasnt a hippie mom or whatever but i did grow up around a lot of them and none of those parents insisted on this either! #i think its one thing if the parents r actually friends and also want to hang out like ofc thats different #but just being there cause you dont trust them is so foreign to me idk #anyways i get their point but like girl live a little #im fairly sure my mom was thankful every time i went away lol she wanted a break! do u not want a break? #im so tired of all these instagram mom influencers. compells me tho

[andtorturedhandssopale]

my toxic ex-friend unblocked me on messenger after almost 2 years.... what does that mean .......

#i randomly entered the app and her profile was on the top with the 'online' green dot on... and i just went ????? #i won't reach out to her ofc #i still miss her sometimes but i really don't like the person i was with her. and some of the things she did were straight up nasty.. #anyways! stuff to do! just wanted to come here real quick and vent about it a little!!

TRAGIC HORROR TROPES.

— the final girl.

the final girl comes out the other end of trauma alive – or, they were supposed to. honestly, you're not so sure you're really alive anymore. you saw the same hurt take those you were closest to while everyone paraded your bruises and bravery, as strength, as if you're the hero. and it hurts. you're tired and you don't want to have to be brave anymore. whatever you went through, it changed so much of who you were that you're still getting used to the person you see in the mirror. you didn't have a say in any of it, but you're here now, and that's gotta count for something. you'll make it count for something. but first, you need to let yourself find rest.

— the witch.

people need to find blame wherever they can; it makes the bad things in their life feel just a touch more bearable. the witches are so often blamed for the curses others are under that no one even questions it anymore. you point to a supposed witch and everyone else prepares the stake, no matter their innocent. to be born and believed a witch is one of the worst curses of them all – you can have friends and family, but there's always a dread that someday, someone will point to you, and everyone you once trusted will throw you into the pyre. if you're here, reading this, you've probably been burned before. and i don't blame you for wanting to hide away, to really become the witch they all say you are, to curse them. but to be a witch is to brush your fingertips over the bark of a tree and watch it grow a touch stronger. keep that in mind.

— the vampire.

it is the loneliest day of a vampire's life, the first time they look into a mirror and see their reflection missing. drinking blood sucks too, don't get me wrong, but as a vampire you had to learn to hide from the sunlight, from your family, all your friends, because you were unavoidably different now and you didn't know how to explain that to them in a way they would understand. you could get stranger's blood in bursts, but what is life when you can't know someone for longer than the night lasts? you left everything behind because it was easier than trying to tell them. i just hope you know you're not the only vampire out there, and that there exist people who will understand your situation without a word. they'll sit with you in the dark for as long as you'll need them to.

— the mummy.

here's the thing about mummies – why the hell is anyone opening up their tombs? you were resting. you were peaceful. but someone intruded, barged in and broke down your walls and stole all the parts of yourself that you cherished, and then blamed you for being angry. blamed you for chasing them down no matter how fast they ran and how many obstacles they put in your path. and you know what? they deserve your rage. they destroyed something sacred. they didn't give a shit, and they wouldn't ever have lamented their actions had it not been for you – the real hero – getting up and showing them that they don't have the right to destroy and pillage as they please. that is your home. that is your body. nothing they do can take that from you. if not for you, they probably would've kept breaking into tombs and disturbing restful lives without a second thought. you won't be repaid for your good, but i hope you know you are a saviour in your own right.

#tag games. #oc: dani #oc: diana #oc: tereza #oc: veronica #cool. flings myself off a cliff. #these are so accurate that i am just 🧍🏼 whadda hell man... #dani's makes me cry a lot cause i've literally said this. she just wanted to stop fighting. to just chill and rest. be away from all the #horror but then she had to get pulled back into it and involved because she couldn't just sit by and see more people get hurt... aughgguhg #doesn't consider herself a hero when she is one... augh. diana's oh man. first of all hilarious cause ''the wicked witch'' jokey nickname. #but yeah. oof. yeah. points at her whole upbringing and even some points during the whole ordeal with the organisation. and she did indeed #become the witch they all said she was. oughhgh. hi so name drops!!!! tereza is ofc donna's gf i think you caught onto that mayhaps idk. if #the romanian surname is anything to go by and the fact that i said in that lil picrew replies she has a fascination with death. but uh. #yeah. you know i was literally reading that result and went omg this is. mm. wow. okay then. and then that there are other people like you #augh. also funny that vampires. miss tall lady she works for in the castle who not technically a vampire but the aesthetic™️ love to see it #okay veronica's is v inchresting cause i have very little lore for her yet but that is sooooo i am piecing things together i am i am #also idk still not 100% on her surname but it's fine it's okay like those kinda vibes. you understand.

thinking about how proud kali would be of el for confronting dr. brenner and standing up against the abuse she suffered from him

#obviously in s2 she wanted el to confront him eventually and went about it in the wrong way ofc i’m not denying that #but she also very clearly felt bad about it when she el left #at the end of the day she wanted the best for her sister #and she wanted her to be able to heal from the past trauma they both faced she just didn’t know how to go about helping her #but fuck. she would be so FUCKING PROUD of her for calling him out what what he did to them 🥹 #stranger things #stranger things 4 #el hopper #kali prasad

The way some people talk about Vicky’s writing in comparison to the new team kinda reminds me of how Pokemon Anime fans miss 4kids a lot and swear that if the 4kids dub kept going then the anime would have been infinitely better, and then you see how much of a meme some parts of the original dub were plus different fandoms with 4kids dubs wanted their heads on a stick. And it’s like yeah comparatively the new team is worse and the ogs got a raw deal but lets not get ahead of ourselves- itd still kinda suck

#its definitely a meme and its funny to laugh at jelly donuts and bad sandwich edits but like. #4kids was like. objectively not good at adaptation. theyd keep out shit all the time like literally changing entire plotlines #and yeah the new voice team is comparatively worse but on my rewatch i noticed that the dub changes went WAY down #cause im also reading the bulbapedia page for each episode and they list the dub changes. and ofc they still change things #but they dont like remove and insert plotlines like 4kids did. for better or for worse #best i can think of is when they removed goh’s rillaboom parents talking in the dub removing the implication that theyre his parents #which like. his parents are dark skinned so honestly that was for the best #ok uh back to wc. yeah vicky is comparatively a better writer and its good to distinguish whats her vs the new team #but some people seem to think that vickys work was fantastic compared to this #and comparatively it is better but like… lets not forget the new team had to fix the insanely misogynistic ashfur plot from po3 and oots #lets not forget they had to point out that bumblestripe was a creep vs vicky saying ‘’uwu hes soft and dove is so cute with him’’ #shes the one who went on that whole rant about how the fandom forced her to kill ferncloud #hollyleafs entire deal was an ACCIDENT that she just admitted with her whole chest #she believed that pairings without constant toxic arguments and threats of cheating were boring and thats why she killed sorreltail #and did the unpleasant cloudbright vs daisy deal and spotted/fire/sand in firestars quest #i mean part of the reason bramble x squirrel is so toxic is bc she likes it like that and thinks its healthy wnd good #im pretty sure she was behind clear sky getting two fridged wives in a single book #shes better than the new team but like… is that much of a compliment
