todolf iceberg

#XDD #not quite universal but do replace some specific experiences with your own variants if needed:) #my biggest todolf flexes are 1) director of brussels asking me what i thought of the todolf portrayal specifically 2) writing my [redacted] #3) famous people seeing my edited 2022 mayerling kiss video 4) my thinly veiled todolf video essay having 23k views and 1k+ likes... #musicals #theatre #meme #but yeah like. even if you don't have the money or opportunity to travel for todolf purposes you're still potentially crazy (affectionate) #which is why i didnt put a lot of expensive stuff like travel or seeing shows live in the chart #OH also to add to my flexes: writing a 20k todolf fan fiction story (really normal) and many smaller ones

#hm. im in limbo. but at least i can draw again at last. ive never spent so long not wanting to draw. it was terrible #my job search lasted 4 days before i secured a position at target but i dont start until the 26th so im drifting until then #it feels so weird. like i dunno. i keep thinking abt jobs in a weird way now bc i just sorta drifted into what i do #weird academic stuff but i think most jobs arent like being a grad student and that never really occured to me #i dunno why. i could have done so many things but here i am. an ecologist mostly. i dunno. well see what the summer brings #maybe ill grow some social skills. its sorta weird but like the medication has made my head less terrible with intrusive thoughts. like i #can actually drive my car without hyperventilating which is fucking wild. so Maybe ill grow some confidence abt interacting with the world #going back in the fall still seems impossible rn but so does starting a job somewhere else. but i dunno #not where i expected to be in my life. im just lucky i dont have to worry much abt money #especially bc i got an ultrasound done so they cold make sure something wasnt wrong with my uterus #and its fine. guess it just hates me but that means i spent like 350 dollars for a 10min scan that showed nothing #ay. the us medical system #anyway. i guess ill continue drifting until the 26th #probably i should find something to do. or work on my old unpublished data #unrelated

I don't think I ever wrote this but riko is not attractive

Like he is not shaped to follow beauty standards he has chubby round face he can't slim out with diet . He does not fit western fetishistic standards of how pretty Asian person should look like and even then he is just average and normal.

He is a normal looking person who does not even care all he cares about are his exy skills often he forgets this is not how normal people judge others on first sight

He does not think of himself as good looking but it does not bother him because he sees himself as amazing striker this is worth more to him.

He does not second guesses his partners attraction to himself because he is riko and riko is great at exy. They are attracted to him because of his character and because he is devoted and obsessed with them and because he gives it all on the court.

#i am willing to pay teal world money for somone to write me commission about riko having to deal with people in normal setting being #racist to him i feel like this would happen a lot outside of nest #i also feel like he is not equipped to deal with it #especialy not equipped to deal with people who fo not appreciate the effort he put into exy #and instead judge him by his looks #but i have no experience with those topics i would greatelly apreciate other peoples thoughts about it #riko moriyama #aftg #all for the game #hinestly i wish we could have more nromal looking characters #or even bad looking characters #persons worth is not connected to their looks and i enjoy characters who arent conventionally pretty #i love him all ghe same even with his chubby cheeks and upturned nose he is pretty 4 me #i need to learn tk draw better to show it better

i want to order somw cute lil stickers to put on my debit cards so they look less boring someone give me ideas

#buzzy #why isnt there a reddit for custom credit card dessigns....or if there is why isnt google showing me it #my current ideas are: #1. very bad Money image #(like 'money' written in chickenscratch and a smiley face to steal someone elses design) #2. somehing somethjng hazard signs #3. a Bat imae with funny words about 'off to buy myself a little treat' (but what bat image....) #4. uno reverse card but im worried it would annoy servers at restaurants and whatnot and i would have to explain 'no its a card' and #itd be less funny than it is an annoyance

i texted my mum that i bought s11-13 on dvd (i think she stopped watching around the same time as me) and she was so excited, i've literally never seen her be this excited via text but she sent several emojis and exclamation marks..... she's not even this excited about her favourite soap opera-

#like she's almost as obsessed as me #she was like omg yesss how much do i need to pay you!!! how much was it i'm gonna send you the money!! #nothing it's literally your birthday in 4 days #nele speaks #she watched the 2023 specials already on her own #like at first i thought she only pretended to like the show to bond with me or something #but no she's properly obsessed like she still carries around her tardis bag that she bought in cardiff in 2015 #yes i made my parents go to cardiff with me when they actually just wanted to go to london #but i don't think my mum minded as you can see

Keep seeing Zelda movie news reactions and like feel like my only contribution right now is I'd much prefer live action to an illumination style animated movie...

#i feel like just the littlest bit its showing their target audience isnt *little* little kids which is somethingg #and idk guess like 4 years or so is still a relatively new loz fan for me but #feel like no matter what they do theres no way to please everyone #not even the games bave been able to do that #theres so many different tones they could aim for with it and w so many different mainline games who know which theyll pull the most from #just like #ofc id rather see animation #the art brain in me goes feral about the possibilities there #but idk... its always written off by vast majority of adults as kiddy stuff and like you dont have to tell me it shouldnt be #gosh do I know #but if theyre wanting to make money and be taken seriously #even find a new audience who arent prev loz fans #im not surprised really that this would be the direction theyre working towards #at the end of the day like we already have cartoon and cdi link and even they get love sometimes on this site #its just another link #and maybe one w wasted potential but that doesnt take away from all the amazing ones we already have so ajdkfkf #forgive the million typos my gosh #too lazy to try to fix them tonight but i promise i know how to spell TT

[prettyboysdontlookatexplosions]

still thinking about shiv trying to blackmail with zero leverage (and being so shiv-ly sure she didn't need any... girl) the one person on this show sociopathic enough to live consistently by gerri's maxim (how does this serve my interests); and also, relatedly, the fact that the conversation greg and shiv had, in which he asked "what's in it for me" and she said "nothing," is essentially the same as the conversation greg and tom had at the top of the episode, and i am really wondering if tom's refusal to settle that question for greg yet is going to become relevant sometime in the final two episodes, the way that shiv's refusal to settle that question for tom became extremely relevant in the finale of season 3

#i don't typically bother to speculate with this show bc like #they zig when you think they're gonna zag and it always feels so obvious in retrospect and is impossible to see coming in real time #but if i had one (1) prediction for the end of the series....... sporus stabbing nero is probably it #would i bet money on it? no. well. maybe. but like. five bucks for fun #but that's the one thing where both i think it would fucking slap #and as the writers' room is composed of people with similar taste to me regarding what slaps #i feel like we may be on the same page #and also i'm kind of like. ok so if this doesn't happen why is greg even still on this show #to be clear i don't think greg would stab tom out of revenge #i don't think greg would do anything out of revenge which is again why he is better at playing his hands than any of the kids #but if an opportunity opened up........ #also to be clear i'm not complaining about greg still being on the show #if greg is in season 4 to be disguting and hilarious that's fine with me #succession #succession spoilers

To give credit to the last of us for its queer rep, it’s not just queer characters who have tragic/bittersweet endings. Literally everyone (siblings, parent and child, heterosexual) queer or not, has tragic endings. The older queer couple gets the best one out of all of them.

I guess? I mean, it is certainly much better than if they were the only characters to die in the storyline. But people were on tumblr talking about how theirs was a happy queer story. And I think it is the misleading discussion around these characters that bothers me even more than the writing. Like if I had watched that episode instead of looking up the plot summary, I would have had a meltdown at the end when they both died because I truly had gotten the impression that it was going to be a happy story.

But now that I've mentioned the writing:

It's nice that they live till their 70s. It's nice that they get 20 beautiful years together. And it's a bit fucked that the writers felt the need to end those 20 long years on-screen with a terminal illness and suicide in the same episode they are introduced. It would have been incredibly easy to just say that those men get to live on past the end of the episode. There are a million reasons those men could have continued living in the story.

But that's the thing about a show like this. I think there is a distinct possibility that this show is actually incapable of writing a satisfying happy ending.

Craig Maizin, the show's writer, gained acclaim recently with Chernobyl, proving that he is apparently excellent at writing a long, horrifying tragedy in which character struggle only to find there is no way out.

(His other main credits are The Hangover sequels and the Scary Movie sequels, most of which I haven't personally seen, so make of that what you will.)

But more than the writer's background, the show itself troubles me. It has this repeated mantra in it that goes, "when you're lost in the darkness, look for the light." Which is a cool phrase.

But I have reason to suspect that this writer genuinely doesn't know how to write the light. I have no reason to believe he does. I hope I am wrong.

But when you write episode after episode after episode that is an endless inescapable slog of tragedy and desperation - and then advertise it to me, a sick queer person actually living through a pandemic and trying to escape disease and poverty - well.

I think a better writer would include moments of light and hope beyond just trauma bonding. Moments that don't end in death.

When my wife writes about characters in awful situations, there are still these moments of genuine loveliness and fun and joy between the characters; these moments remind the reader what is worth actually fighting for, living for. Imagine! Entire chapters in a post-apocalyptic novel in which characters don't undergo a "hacking someone to death with a cleaver" level of trauma!

But the fact that Bill and Frank still had to die even after an earnest attempt to tell a beautiful love story....

I fear that the light the story ends with - if there is any - will be as dim and desaturated as the show itself. And personally, I am at a point in my life where I don't care to see a story like that.

It's fine if you do like it. It doesn't matter to me if you find beauty in a tragic queer love story. There are places for that in this world. But it is tragic. I am sure of that. And I wish I hadn't been seeing posts saying otherwise, ya know?

And I hope I am wrong about the writer. But I see cracks in the premise. Like in Stranger Things. There was always a promise of light that kept me watching, but it never seemed to come. Instead, the misery and trauma continued to stack and compound for the lead characters, like in TLOU. But... does the writer know how to make that worth it, for us, for the audience - for me? I don't think he does.

I think it very possible that the light isn't really coming for Ellie and Joel in a way that provides catharsis because I have noticed that on shows with no intermittent joy and hope, this is too often the case.

But I do hope I'm wrong. Because if I am right, then a lot of mentally ill fans will leave the experience more depressed than if they hadn't watched it at all.

But for my own part, I'll just continue to skim through the show for monster design ideas. And also I'll say that everyone should watch Infinity Train - ESPECIALLY season 2 of Infinity Train, if they'd like to see a story in which people actually DO find a light that makes the whole journey feel worth it.

#original #tlou #the last of us #bill and frank #writing #writing analysis #again i don't care if you like the show or not. you can like the show. it is well made. but that is NOT a happy queer ending. #it is not a happy story to me. i know it isn't AS BAD as it could've been but also.... i don't care #my money is on 'joel dies and ellie is so traumatized by the experience that she is basically non functional' #look for the fucking light i guess. wheeeeeeee #infinity train #mt infinity train #lake infinity train #seeing a story in which a character escapes a seemingly inescapable situation GENUINELY made me feel like there was hope for me #and i have personally found that the opposite has an opposite effect #tragedies have a purpose. but i fear sometimes the tragedy in some shows is just there bc the writer feels there must be 4 tragedies per ep #but like. trauma in a story - added just for the sake of extra trauma - it is a red flag for where this story is going #bly manor #FUCKING BLY MANOR MY ARCH FOE #i also see no need for a show of endless tragedy to be this long. like. they are experiencing the SAME trauma repeatedly. what does it add? #ellie loses ANOTHER friend horribly! like. okay. we've... already seen that? why is this one worthy of screen time other than you CAN?

its been a while since i talked about andrew mccutchen's furry blessing on here. Please know that it is the funniest thing on the planet and i will never stop being a pirates fan because of it

#ari opinion hour #im out rn so i cant elaborate just know this: #1) his stats when he plays in pnc park when anthrocon is happening are like. GOD LEVEL. like better than BARRY BONDS. #like if he always played like that hed be unequivocably the best player who ever lived #2) the pirates are SO BAD at baseball. like. SO fucking bad. (owners only care about making money) #however 2a) i was a fridays fan when we were so unbelievably bad at blaseball that we set 7 different records of how fucking bad we were #and i WROTE A SONG ABOUT IT. which was then OFFICIALLY RELEASED by the garages. #BELIEVE me i do not care about a team being 'good') #3) hes the only player to ever have been popularly believed to have a furry related blessing. and he KNOWS ABOUT IT. AND THINKS ITS FUNNY #4) apparently this summer when anthrocon happened they showed a furry (in full costume) on the jumbotron and then he IMMEDIATELY hit a homer #home run

also I KNOW that all my college and high school friends are not actually announcing pregnancies or births at a higher rate than usual I’m just more hypersensitive/attuned to this kind of news than usual but also sometimes I feel an uncontrollable rage in my heart towards these people who are 1) getting pregnant for free and 2) getting pregnant, period. I recognize this as an irrational and unfair emotional reaction! it’s not like these people can help being straight and/or having uncomplicated pregnancies! but also I can burn with suppressed rage and grief about it!!!

#a college friend just announced the birth of her first baby and I am literally in tears of rage and grief about it #even as I am also happy for her! great for them! #like the heart can hold both I guess and this heart sure is busy holding both #I’d be closing in on the end of the first trimester #and instead I am just: nothing #I think the hardest is going to be if my SIL gets pregnant. like I already felt murderous rage when she wasn’t drinking at a dinner #it’s like TOO close you know. I feel crazy with anger about it and I know it’s not fair or kind #and for some reason the money stuff just muddies the waters further #like it feels like I’m just pouring thousands of dollars down the drain every month and all I have to show for it #is one fewer fallopian tube than I started with #and maybe it’ll take them a while to get pregnant but they’ll be doing it for free with two incomes #i just have a childish stomping-my-foot reaction to it sometimes #like the universe owes me anything #I think I am going to start the foster parent online training modules this weekend sigh #I’d like to have everything ready to go or in progress so that if I try for 3-4 more months with no success #I can at least begin the slow painful pivot faster #blah blah pregnancy loss grief #IUI tag

I actually am worried they’re going to do an Ian/Mickey spinoff because why is Noel’s hair dyed and why are they doing multiple cons together…knowing the producers they’re going to announce it June 1st for pride month….im Scared

#shameless us #maybe cam and Noel just need a paycheck and that’s why they’re doing cons #in which case go off kings get that money! #I do not want the s11 writing #at this point genuinely just no #unless you bring back the writers from seasons 3 and 4 #or at least have the writers watch the damn show???? #presumably in their own spinoff we’d get like. depth. perhaps some character development #but also you never can be sure #wouldn’t trust John wells to tell me if it’s raining outside #prayer circle for no spinoff or a spinoff with different writers

A few days ago I started thinking about getting a bridge piercing. I have a feeling it might look good on me idk. Since then it is like I have a phantom piercing in my face like I can feel it there grounding me but it is not there: it is all just air.

#just a random thought I wanted to share with you #do you think I'd look good with a bridge piercing? #sighs why do I keep being tempted to do things that cost money :'D? #and also not to be a walking stereotype but ... yeah I have been struggling mentally #wow look at me being emotionally unstable and wanting piercings and tattoos #body modifications are cool shut up hypothetical person :'D xD #i will say in my defence - after last time choosing to get a body modification (my iham sama tattoo) #it has made me somewhat more excited about one part of myself that before only gave me grief (my stomach) #now I probably show my tummy off way more than I should because I want people to see the tattoo x'D #so maybe me litterally feeling the bridge piercing is a sign idk #it was the same sort of feeling I had with the tattoo #which is why I got it after a month of getting the idea even tho I normally try to wait at least 4-6 months #I needed to vent it seems #micahs thoughts #micahs foolery #body modification #piercings #bridge piercing

#love this for him​. a man who came to the west coast last year with his band to play 4 small shows that did not sell out #once was even bad enough the venue offered a bogo #and they came during the tropical storm we had so they were fine till heading to AZ #where the wind broke the window of what I assume was a rental #they absolutely no doubt lost money on that lil run #his posts getting me through the anger of songs fob is playing I may never hear lol. mf Pavlove r u fucking kidding. sigh
