#skim everything

[crowfiire]

Do y'all remember the days where Youtube was consistently flooded with fingerboarding trick videos and people doing parkour on skyscrapers?

#not to mention flash animations #the characters slowly gliding across the screen and looking wildly out of place from those scenic stock images #those meme videos that were genuinely unexpected funny moments rather than being choreographed or planned ahead of time #back when having a camera at all was considered top quality because they weren't as common or high quality as they are now #i don't have anything against how society's grown but man do i miss those days #miss having my recommended full of all these really cool neat videos with things i wanted to learn at some point in my future #now it's games and lyric videos with the exact same background and font choice #have to go digging for good videos on the topic i want and then weed through all the theatrical ones that don't explain it or the ones that #skim everything

"...I had to forgive Finnick for his role in the conspiracy that landed me here. He, at least, has some idea of what I'm going through. And It takes too much energy to stay angry at someone who cries so much." -Mockingjay, pg 12

#I'll just...leave this here #I was skimming Mockingjay and every time Finnick was mentioned my heart broke a little further #along with everything else in that book honestly #finnick odair #thg finnick #the hunger games #catching fire #mockingjay #thg series #digital art #hunger games fanart #artists on tumblr #katniss everdeen #clip studio paint #fanart #digital artist #odesta #finnick x annie #jolly art #I just realized how similar this is to one of my Peeta drawings from a few weeks back #ah well.. #artists have tropes too ig #my friend was drawing Link (they're favorite stinky guy) being silly while I drew this #we show love differently

Guild Wars 2 OC stuff: So I finally figured out the full body design for Vallotash (Mordremoth's Scion a.k.a. who Mourynn actually is) They're more or less the same person, but it's complicated, but leans more to Vall believing she's Mourynn and kind of is since she inhabits her body and memories, but is technically an imposter and is very depressed and in denial about it. Inspiration from Jahai Bluffs: "Are you a dragon dreaming that it's a hero? If you were, how would you know?" (also it's my tumblr banner lol) I'm still sketching out the origin story to explain how this happens, but for now here is this sketch bc I am happy with how this turned out and wanted to post it early. It's basically self preservation turned to parasitism to accidental death of host to unintentional identity theft out of guilt/tribute + memory absorption to make her think she's the sapling + amnesia about the whole event taking place over the span of a year stuck in the dream (to super condense her origin lore). I'll finish these sketches once I'm done her origin story pages, or if I get possessed to do it earlier bc I'm still happy with how this turned out and might want to keep working on it sooner, hehe.

Here is more sketches of Mourynn/Vallotash under the cut:

She has some simpler looks for when she's flattened down. She looks SO SILLY but I love it. Beware the Scion of Mordremoth: This freaking wiggly silly noodle thing. A terrifying menace!! Beloathed parasite daughter vine of the mighty Jungle Elder Dragon!! /does a snake blep (Also the first two head sketches I did of her from last year when she still didn't have a body designed yet lmao. I still have to figure out how large she actually is, as well as her colouration. She'll have to match Mourynn's, so she's gonna be a funny mix of the colours in the cool spectrum, which doesn't look very plant-like, but sylvari can be all different colours, and she has the whole poisonous/hallucinogenic thing going on, as well as some Soo-won influence bc she's based off a leafy sea dragon and is very attuned to water, so it kinda works yeah????) I also have no idea what her large chin whisker things are supposed to be. I just kind of made them up on the spot and fell in love with them, so they're STAYING, even if they make no sense. I mostly just love that they'd look so cool underwater and while glowing in the dark, and they are vaguely alien and jellyfish-like.

#wip gallery #gw2 OC #guild wars 2 #sylvari OC #vallotash #mourynn #dragons #Making sure to keep gw2 visible in case this reaches outside my gw2 bubble; I don't want it labelled generic fantasy or D&D #also sorry i can never leave short concise descriptions lsjfaskf #i'm plagued with the fear of misunderstandings and have to over-explain everything out of paranoia #I'll still probably change/adjust a few things; but overall I like how funky and over the top ornate she looks #mostly bc i like to envision her being all weird and alien like underwater #and even while floating in the air/gliding it gives her a cool looking/elegant silhouette #also she can't fly!!! she can only swim; glide; and skim over water; but she's also a very good climber!!! #I also have to figure out a watermark for the final pieces; for now I have more earlier wips of these saved just in case

me watching the entire internet realize what i figured out 14 months ago

#sorry reposting from my priv because i get to be a little smug about this. it’s my moment #like i know misinformation is gonna do what misinformation does so i try to give people grace about it #but if you LOOKED. if you ACTUALLY looked at the allegations instead of hearing from someone who heard from someone who skimmed them #it was there #(at least the part about it not being grooming— if you came away thinking he was just kind of a weirdo i can understand that) #it’s really nice to have everything ironed out and confirmed but i went over that shit with a fine tooth comb and got the same conclusion #and lord knows i burned bridges for it but NOW WE WIN! VINDICATION #and may my dream.situation tag live on forwver. amen #bella talks

I wish that people gave a shit about nonbinary people who don’t use they/them pronouns. You can literally give your friend group (which includes another nonbinary person) a list of your favorite pronouns, none of which include they/them, and mention several times that you don’t like they/them pronouns for yourself, but they’ll make the switch from she/her pronouns to…they/them. And feel super proud of themselves for being sooo progressive as to use they/them pronouns for you….when those aren’t your pronouns.

I think that saying “he she and they are my least favorite but are fine in combination with other things…I’m really fine with any neos but here’s a list of my faves that you can choose from!” Is polite and not a difficult request. I’m not good at being a pushy person, and I shouldn’t need to be.

#it screams #i guess I’ll pull the lists out again and re-link them #but the aforementioned friends view messages from me as a chore and check them rarely so when they do they’ve built up and so just skim #everything #which I’m fucking tired of #I’ve been going back and forth on whether it’s better to have no friends or a few friends who make you feel shitty #dunno which is worse #they also are extremely cavalier with covid while knowing I have no health insurance #and have supported some statements/actions that really make me sad #so idk I might be basically friendless at this point #i hold on for too long to people who have clearly moved on and don’t much care about being my friend anymore #I’ve tried reaching out a few times to no avail so idk I might just give up #try to cultivate online relationships more #which feels pretty impossible to me #sigh #I’ve been not able to sleep well #because of issues in my life with…all of the few people in it #issues that could be solved if I had kept a wider support network #instead of getting trapped with someone who was abusing me and my friends who don’t seem to give a shit about that and expressed more #concern for him than for me when the news was revealed to them #again I don’t have health insurance so no therapist #which I fucking desperately need right now #i have no one separate to talk to #the one who knows all of the different factors from all of the angles…is the abuser #i feel like I’m in so much fucking pain and I feel so alone and all of the people in my life who are supposed to be my loved ones #are standing around me ignoring me completely and acting like everything is okay #just causing me more and more pain #well this didn’t start out intended as a vent but it sure turned into one huh #i wish I could convey to y’all the desperation and loneliness and aching that I feel #vent

#choe chan yi #light on me #korean drama #manydramagifs #kdramaedit #what am i doing? oh nothing #just forever crying over shin daon looking at im taekyeong like he's the moon and the stars for 16 episodes #you know. the usual. #but no for real #the fact that i could put the gifs in non-chronological order #because he never stops looking at taekyeong like he's everything that is good in the world #like the sun rises and sets in taekyeong's eyes #and like taekyeong is the closest thing to beholding the beauty of the entire universe to daon #i will forever miss this boy #i skimmed through the episodes for the first time in a long time #for a bigger daon (x taekyeong) set that i've been planning for forever #and i'm emotional over daon as well as his story with taekyeong again

I refuse to read a fic if Wayne Munson is anything other than unflinchingly accepting of his nephew. I dont care how good it is otherwise.

Wayne Munson is pro-eddie and that's Facts

#wayne munson #he loves eddie so much! he gave up everything for that kid when he didnt have to! no obligations! #its simply not wayne if he doesnt love his nephew unconditionally #ive only ever skimmed 3 that had wayne anything but supportive #its the one universal truth! #pro eddie and pro union

Scum Villain mains rock because by being an sv main you've already given up the facade of being pretentious. It's not like being one of those weird white cql reviewers who call the show the height of queer cinema or whatever, it's not like being a tgcf fan who has to sell you on why hualian invented love in a book longer than the Bible. No one's disillusioned about how unrefined Scum Villain is, ok. It's an isekai 1st webnovel written by a high schooler. It's consistently the lowest rated of the books, it has 1 surviving (light a candle for the manhua) adaptation that looks like an extended PS3 cutscene, reviewers and adjacent fans alike tend to overlook it because you can't gloss it up as some great and pure queer romance that breaks societal boundaries- and in a way, I think that's really why it's so nice to find a home here.

#ramble with no real purpose #i think sv can be as fun or as deep as you want it to be. i think thats where a lot of tgcf and mdzs discourse falls flat because #it always posits that the books are incredibly deep bc of mxtx or not deep at all bc of mxtx #but sv is all about the (a) reader! what did you take from the text? #it still pays the bills if you just skim the surface; its not a sin to read just because its satisfying #and neither is it to look deeper into it: past even what the author had intended into what you want to create #its messy and its imperfect but so are we and so is everything we enjoy! its fine to just like things because you like them #and i like scum villain #svsss #scumbag self saving system #scum villain's self saving system #svsss meta #long post #text post

"(Bianca) was always dressed in a simple modern gown or a man’s suit, her hair adorned in artful ways and sweetly perfumed. But Marius did not seem to notice or care."

What is wrong with this fool. Bianca baby I would treat you far better than he ever could

#i like to skim the series for the bianca parts because i love her :3 #also can we please talk about bianca in mens clothes please. she is everything to me #vc

okay i feel absolutely sure some of you have mentioned using readwise reader, which i've been trying out because pocket has been acting fucky and i've got a read-it-later backlog from hell that readwise I AM TOLD should help me with

but where do i find the query parameters for this thing

i'm trying to recreate my inoreader folder structure but i'm in hell

is there some kind of feed tagging system i should be using instead

what's the deal here

#original #i have to separate out feeds that i just skim and only read a few articles from #and feeds where i want to read absolutely everything in chronological order #(ie news versus webcomics) #but i want to tweak my filter views and i am Struggling
