#i really like all sorts of industrial mechanical construct thingies #aesthetically #when i was a kid i used to go to the big bridge by the sea #in the snow storm #and take pics of the coal ships with my old ass clam phone #i'd take off one glove at a time to use the phone and switch hands #so they wouldn't freeze #there's something about rusty metal

Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Link Attack - Lucky Dice

#kingdom hearts dream drop distance #khddd #sora #juggle pup #dream eaters #link system #my gif #so this link is interesting because the dice that sora throws decides who is targeted by the juggle pup's magic attacks #there's a chance it can cast time bomb; freeze; bind; stop; confuse; or use a megalixir on an enemy nightmare- #but if sora's dice lands on a picture of his own face then the juggle pup will instead cast that magic on sora #so yeah there's a chance your own dream eater can attack and potentially kill you #btw yes sora will still do the little cheer if the odds are against him #i was lucky here and got the megalixir but according to the wiki- #if you roll a megalixir and the nightmare symbol then the enemy will be healed 1000 hp which is the equivalent of 5 hp bars #wouldn't want that to happen during a boss fight

i don't wanna see another fucking complaint about the missing knife from the throne room or the stuntman waiting for his cue ever again after that piss poor choreography in the ahsoka finale

#the ONLY thing. ONLY thing. with any kind of substance was ahsoka vs morgan #and i guarantee a lot of it comes from diana lee inosanto being an actual martial artist #the throne room scene isn't made to be viewed frame by frame like are you insane #you wouldn't have noticed if some dickhead didn't literally freeze frame it for you #but the sabers vs the zombie troopers is just so LAUGHABLE #ahsoka critical #en speaks

honestly this isn't like, to say herbert is super niceys in canon BUT. i feel like if he actually succeeded in bombing the player, rookie, gary (and likely dot as well- i dont remember if the original epf command room was destroyed when the psa hq was) he'd probably not feel 100% happy about it. murder is in fact, a big deal! and while i'm not saying he'd instantly regret it i wouldnt be surprised if he'd feel SOME kind of way if he did succeed, even if he was mostly like "YAAAAY THOSE ANNOYING BIRDS ARE FINALLY DEAD". like yknow, even if i write my herbert to be Meaner and Nastier post blackout its not like i see even my herbert and especially not canons as someone who is Only Evil All The Time, i genuinely think this man would be at least slightly conflicted once the whole 'i actually succeeded in killing them' thing kicked in. and while he was obviously thrilled to bits about taking over the island and freezing the epf's leads, freezing them isn't exactly the same as killing them since as we know, even though it can have negative effects like gary saying he'd been having medical issues after being dethawed it's not permanent like being Killed-

#idk its just fun to explore. which is one reason why the ghost!rolly au exists #he finally gets what he wanted. he finally got rid of rolly for good (or so he initially thinks). but freezing agents and trapping them #with a bomb or on a mountain (to a /rocket/ in jpg's case) is different than seeing the results in Front of you... #because yeah. he gets to see the lead's frozen faces as much as he wants during blackout. but theyre not DEAD. if he ever #wanted out of sudden regret or just to taunt them for failing to save the island he could easily dethaw them for it. #he can't bring them back if they REALLY die. and even with the popcorn bomb #if gary rookie the player and dot (and i guess jpg if you count the ds version) all died to the bomb he wouldn't SEE the result in front of #him. he doesn't have to see the result of his actions beyond the wreackage of the sports shop or perhaps a particularly sad club penguin #times issue. but causing rolly to bleed out in front of him? Ruh Roh mr esquire doesnt feel so good seeing his worstie in fatal peril #suddenly it doesn't feel great to have his white paws be blood red!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #idk like i said i just rotate this around a lot. its fascinating how herbert will say he just wants to 'defeat' the epf and not destroy it #during his brief tenure working with protobot...a year after the popcorn explosion. what happened herby #did you realize it would've been bad to kill three people (again dot too but he didnt know she was there). #did you realize murder is not okay? :)

STOP RETCONNING. STOP IT. CEASE. I BEG. big confused screaming rant in tags

#i know this is the retcon show so i'm speaking to a brick wall in the past #but. it lessens the impact. gallifrey burned. you didn't fucking freeze it you destroyed your people to save the universe #none of this makes sense. if the war doctor (whose entire existence is. a conundrum to me. it should have been 8 anyway) didn't destroy his #people then the other doctors wouldn't have developed the personalities they have. nothing would have happened the way that it did #even bad wolf probably wouldn't mean anything to ten because nine wouldn't have ever met rose #because he would never have been nine????? one too many questions #literally taking out a HUGE chunk of your character development. 10 minutes ago clara was discussing this with war. how many lives have #been saved because of the doctor's regret #where would all that go? i know time is in flux but surely it can't sustain all this #surely the stars would start blinking out one by one like they did in NOTD #and the big bang. my god my head is spinning. you have like ten minutes to resolve this pyramid of bullshit you've constructed #dw #jamie catches up #the day of the doctor #jamie.txt

was supposed to do the cursed "Baltic Princess to New Year's eve concert" combo, but instead i'm sitting on my in-laws' couch, hopped up on painkillers watching the concert on tv so.

despite the fact that i'm overall a very emotionally constipated individual, the year is changing so i can make one (1) sappy-ish post

2023 has been a shitshow, mostly. on many levels, not a year i would like to relive.

but the Käärijä part is something i would relive in a heartbeat if i got the chance. So many concerts bringing little sparks of light to a lousy existence. finding the joy in writing again after a long while. some unforgettable moments with the dude himself and the crew.

and most of all the people. have found some gems into my life through this fandom and i am just. very grateful.

so thankyou for all the love for my fics and thankyou for making this shit year a bit more bearable. see ya in the new year

#indeed not the way i had planned to spend tonight #but at least i'm not freezing my balls off out there #but anyways #i love my people a lot and i don't say it a lot #so here you go #if i had known 'Midsummer' wpuld bring this many great people to my life #i wouldn't have been so scared to post it lol #happy new year to you all #PuppetMaster out #käärijä #puppetmaster talks

thoughts on transparent and trifle

Transparent:

It's probably clear from the fic, but there's a lot of things that Furina does not notice due to her self-loathing. The reason why she doesn't notice reader's feelings for her is because she can't fathom why anyone would ever like her. However, to everyone else, reader's feelings are quite clear from the way they treat her.

At one point, I actually did want to spell out reader's adoration for her. For example, the way they can't tear their eyes away whenever she's on stage. The warmth in their eyes whenever she shows her more hesitant side. The way they stand in front of her to hide her view of those that don't like her. But the more I tried writing that, the more I realized I couldn't see Furina leading someone on like that. If she did notice, she'd probably avoid them. So I went with the idea she didnt notice at all instead.

Trifle:

I hope nobody reads this fic and paints Cyno out to be the bad guy. What I was trying to make reader do was for them to describe Cyno as base Cyno. Aka, normal Cyno. Aka, nothing out of the ordinary Cyno. I tried to write it specifically so that, when reading what Cyno did, it wouldn't ring any bells. The way Cyno treated reader is the same way he'd treat anyone else under his tutelage.

Reader says it themselves. Their fault is they fall in love too easily. And they do. Cyno treated them normally and they took it to mean something special. Their hubris was definitely hubris. They looked to deeply into something they shouldn't have.

However what I didn't mention in this is that.... Honestly I don't think Cyno is the type that'd realize he's leading someone on. And I don't think he's the type that'd realize someone is into him. What this lead to in the cabin of the fic is him acting awkwardly around reader after. He'd become too self-aware. But he'd also become aware of reader as well. And somewhere along the way, he'd probably end up falling in love haha

#spoilers #c*no would be so cute after #like freezing up and floundering a lot #and reader wouldn't be any better #though they initially regretted it seeing how he's finally noticing them would just.... make them fall in love even more haha #probably using their feelings against him #because they'd know he'd be really sensitive about unintentionally hurting their feelings #theyd swe him tripping over himself and would just stare like #'oh... that.... that's really cute.... 😐'

the snow queen – batman tales: once upon a crime

[ID: Victor Fries (aka Mister Freeze) trapped in ice. His head is light blue and is enclosed in a jagged glass helmet. Red goggles hide his eyes as The Snow Queen delicately kisses his temple. In the next two panels, Victor's skin is no longer discoloured and his goggles are off. He melancholically talks to Batman, his icy comatose broken by her kiss.

Batman asks him why did he come here and Victor replies, “This place holds special meaning. It's where she first skated. It's where we first met. My Snow Queen... my Nora. I realize now, my memories of her have kept me frozen in time.” Batman wraps his arm around Victor to help support him as he guides him to safety. He sympathizes, “Sometimes it's not just bad memories that stop us from living, but good ones, too” END ID]

#just this part because im still so >:/ at that recent characterization of him as maliciously cruel and selfish #instead of a man desperately clinging to the memory and belief that somehow someday he can have the love of his life back #yes its still selfish in a sense of 'she wouldn't want this/look at what you've becomed in the name of your love' but the intent?? #btas peaked :// having sympathetic villains isn't weak writing or makes the final showdown have less stakes or whatever #it makes your character leave an impact by being a reflection to the uglier side of emotions and what anyone is capable of doing #especially for a character like bruce !!! like !!!! #they both fight for love. they're both criminals wanting to protect what they love. theyre both the embodiment of mourning #anyways. #c: batman tales: once upon a crime | the snow queen #crypt's panels #mister freeze #nora fries #victor fries #batman

overcoming anxiety (through practicing the things that scare you) is so interesting. i used to be horrified of taking up space or alerting other people of my presence. now i'm compelled to tell strangers i like their outfits or hair or earrings- on bad days i tell maybe a quarter of them. do i still overthink it? absolutely. but i call attention to myself to tell someone else my opinion. and with the way they tend to smile and tell me "thank you!" i'm pretty sure it's taken to heart.

i used to be horrified of making phone calls as well. this is one i'm still getting over- i just Don't Like Doing It. i used to have a phone call routine that i still joke about- realize i need to call someone, cry, avoid it for a few days, suck it up, write a script, memorize the script, cry again, final script read, make the call with the script in front of me. and i would be Exhausted by the end of it. i don't cry when i need to call people anymore. i'm even needing scripts less and less- i've found out that people actually won't kill me if i talk a little too fast or stumble on my words. i doubt i'll ever like making phone calls- i especially hate robots (i'm afraid they'll mishear me and direct me wrong or a person will suddenly show up and i won't be prepared)- but i can make them now.

i get overwhelmed really easy. just a thing that happens to me. my brain is really really good at taking one task and breaking it up into thousands of little tasks and it feels like i'm drowning. if i try to make it fewer larger tasks then it starts to feel insurmountable. i was completely lost on how to deal with this (other than avoid until you get that panic attack and can do work in the post-catharsis calm until 6:00 AM) until one night when my dad (who i often meet late at night due to overlapping mental illness symptoms) asked me how to eat an elephant. i looked at him, confused, and he said "one bite at a time." that was way more effective than any other analogy i've seen has been. "light at the end of a tunnel"- i don't feel like i'm moving forward, i feel like i'm scaling a wall. "steps on a trail"- i can see my destination, but it feels impossible to move forward. but eating an elephant? that sums it up perfectly. this huge task which seems impossible at a glance. but it must be done. so you eat the elephant, a bite at a time. every time i'm overwhelmed i repeat that phrase to myself. it hasn't made any major changes yet, but it keeps me calm enough to start before i hit the panic attack, which i'll take.

i was such a perfectionist growing up- i actually thought it was a good thing (school always taught me to strive for perfection). but it made me scared to try new things- if i wasn't immediately good at them, then it clearly wasn't for me. i'm still not great at starting new hobbies, but i try a lot of new things within the hobbies i already have. i test out different ways of making art, i try new puzzle games i don't understand, etc. and the feeling of steady improvement reminds me that i don't need to be good right away. some of the most satisfying moments don't come from immediately being good- they come from achieving that skill over time. i'd like to try to learn to sew soon.

idk it's interesting. i rewire my own brain's fear response by doing the Horrifying Thing enough times for me to understand that no i will not die. and while i'm doing it it feels like nothing is changing. i get so stressed every time- it can actually take a lot out of me (turns out fight-or-flight burns a lot of energy). but i look back at then vs. now and i realize how far i've come, and i can't help but think "huh. neat"

#marzi speaks #this post has no point. i am simply thinking out loud #i think understanding the root of where the anxiety comes from helps a lot too #like. my mom feels most secure when she's in control #she doesn't like situations in which she can't control how she responds or what happens when she does #it makes her feel helpless. and that's how her GAD affects her #it's also why her fear response is 'fight'- she stress-cleans and expresses authority because those are things she can control #it's a self-soothing technique #but for me it's different. i'm most at ease when i know where i am and what's going on #this could be for plenty of reasons. i'm bad at directions and time blind so i feel lost easily #i had to learn to do a lot of things by myself growing up because my brother needed a bit of extra attention #my parents used to sometimes forget to tell me about things- i wouldn't know we were going somewhere until they asked me if i was ready #or even just that i was always surrounded by so much information and i love learning with my whole heart #when i can't know what will happen next or why something's happening in the first place i get disoriented and frightened #i don't need to have a say in what will happen. i just need to know. then i can roll with the punches #this is why MY fear responses are flight and freeze #i self-isolate because i know environments like my room and my mind #other people are unpredictable. i know what i will do #i like puzzles because they're something i can learn and figure out. once i understand it's a matter of patterns #and they take my mind off of the unknown i'm worried about #my mom will engage in a lot of conflict behavior. i engage in a lot of avoidant behavior #yes this caused arguments growing up lmao. i'd be freaking out abt smth and she'd be confused as to why i wasn't just going and fixing it #or she'd be freaking out abt smth and i'd be confused as to why she didn't try to just get all the facts #but we're better communicators abt that now teehee #it's interesting though. we have the same illness (generalized anxiety disorder) and are similar in a lot of ways #but because our root fears are different our responses to them are different #this could also be learned #my mom grew up poor and didn't get to do a lot- she worked her ass off to have financial freedom #i grew up comfortable with every question i asked entertained by two very smart parents. when a question can't be answered i feel dissonant #it's probably a bit of both in some cyclical manner. still nifty to think about

[modernghostfare]

lately ive been thinking more on the differences of ghost before robas and ghost after robas and, like, how mace wouldnt know any of this took place and he wouldn't actually know any of the changes ghost's personality has until he sees them. bc in my hc they dated before that, mace left for africa before that, and he was never told any of that (its entirely possible if they write more of his backstory this could change tbh esp if they do that ghost spinoff they keep talking about.). so like. even the 24/7 mask wearing would be like... So Weird to mace hed be like "thats new?" and ghost is like. Mhm. bc well hes not going to talk about it. hed be more willing to show mace his face bc theres less worry about like how hed react. because mace has already Seen him and nothing has like. changed. which would be a relief to mace only bc seeing physical evidence of torture ghost went through would be upsetting to him. and ghost would never, ever explain the mental process of "because of whats happened to me i am a walking, talking ghost of who i was" hed be ashamed of it/wouldnt want to tell mace this bc he would challenge this? he would challenge a lot of what ghost says bc hes coping through pushing it all to the side basically and acting like hes "bigger" than his trauma. mace would fully understand Why hes doing this and how it helps him go about his day to day though. a lot of it he wouldnt bother trying to change bc he can tell ghost is at least comfortable in his "new skin." and i think ghosts anger Would be different though the old him would lash out at times bc his fear of relationships is from Before robas its from his dad/his parents relationship. but in a lot of ways hes "more chill" bc his rage is simmering background noise.

#the biggest change would probably be him freezing up at times during sex bc of his trauma which. would confuse mace #bc again he would not willingly give up the information of what happened to him. ghost would have to be pushed to a point #where he literally cannot avoid telling mace about his time being captured #AND bc it wouldn't happen all the time and for the most part ghost Really wants to Fuck so it would be. a rare occurrence of him #disassociating to That degree during sex and mace really. would not like the implication there and he would be right to

Aside from that short story where they tried to make her a villain, I’m really surprised that DC never did anything with Nora/Mrs. Freeze character. 

#on a side note the blonde hair and blue skin they gave her was so ugly #she should only have white hair and blue lipstick #I wouldn't mind to read a story about her but I don't know what I want it to be #maybe a story where she's freed from her illness #but then something happens to her husband and then HE has to be frozen to not die #and she takes his place and become the new Mrs Freeze #who swears to not give up on her husband the same way he never gave up on her? #but I do want some difference tho its not like I want her to just be a female version of Mr Freeze #thoughts? #Nora Fries #victor fries

havin a week/few days where i think: i deserve a fucking nobel peace prize and a congressional medal of honor for not being the biggest bitch in the whole wide world to everyone right now

#theres not even like. A Thing. it's 2800 million little things #i'm not even mad at. no that's a lie i am mad at a very few specific people who are not on tumblr #but more just triggered. ptsd wise. only ive healed so much that the fight/flight/fawn/freeze response keeps coming up 'kill' i mean fight. #while also being healed enough to fully recognize that the temporary anger i'm feeling and urge to lash out physically doesn't reflect my #actual issue wouldn't solve anything wouldn't make me feel better and isn't within my moral standards. physically hurting someone out of #everyday frustration is not it. i can fantasize about slapping the nearest jerk with a smelly trout or frothing at the mouth in rage #but does that actually productively work towards solving the problem that frustrated me? not really. there are better ways to express that. #and to actually communicate my needs. but yeah i do probably have to work on expressing that stuff bc i am a little stuck in it rn.
