#striving i mean

[bookshelfpassageway]

yknow i dont go here but sometimes i gotta go: seriously respect clowns. they have the worst pop culture representation in the world and also the best most thorough honor code. they're just here to be silly little guys who bring joy and are very conscientious about doing so responsibly. let them to their merriment in peace you dont hafta take potshots. i dont go here but like maybe i should, you all seem super chill

#my posts #im mad bc i saw a clown knight adoptable which fascinated me as a concept and then someone bought him and made him evil :( #thats so. boring. its SO BORING IM SORRY THERES A COOL CONCEPT IN THERE BUT THATS THE BORING WAY #maybe ill make my OWN oath of clowning paladin someday #...wait that's actually GOTTA be a dnd subclass somebody's made at some point #anyway also the occasional YouTuber taking potshots and being mean like you dont need to do that theyre just minding their own business :( #we should all strive to be sillier and weirder and more kind forever

not saying everyone has to agree with my philosophy or art but when people dont understand what im trying to say i immediately fling myself into a burn pile. which is funny because i also believe we are constantly trying to understand each other because no one speaks the same language

#this is about a coworker not understanding the point im trying to make about struving for something you dont understand #striving i mean #i think a mayfly has a rich internal life #i think a fish wants something from its life #i think birds and apes and cats and caterpillars #i think we all have goals and desires and make our own arts

A.B.A's and Paracelsus' Strive GG World entries got updated, and they made an interesting change to opening line of Paracelsus' entry

old:

new:

#guilty gear #guilty gear strive #paracelsus guilty gear #aba guilty gear #a.b.a guilty gear #Guilty Gear Strive spoilers #? #I wanna double check the Japanese later but yeah #there's been some ambiguity to the meaning of Paracelsus' lines to ABA at the Extreme Route end of their arcade mode but 🤔 #If this change is also in the Japanese GGW thats a p notable indicator I think

One thing I really love about Marcille is that despite her deep fear of outliving her loved ones, she never, never let's it get in the way of her making bonds and getting close to people. She loves deeply and strongly and she doesn't try to supress that! She embraces it wholeheartedly! Her friends are so important to her and she's not ashamed or scared of it!

Actually, out of all the characters, I'd say Marcille is one of the ones who care the most about bonds of friendship. She's angry at Namari for leaving after Falin got eaten and holds that grudge up until Namari helps defeat the Undine (and therefore having 'proven' herself). She's shocked and upset when Chilchuck explains his policy of payment and that he's not really here bc of friendship. She puts a lot of focus on the party being a Group Of Friends rather than a team of hired hands dedicated to the specific role(s) they are paid for. Which of course makes sense since she joined the party to begin with because of her friend! To her, the party has always been 'Falin and her brothers' friend group' rather than a hired party. (A little reminder: Marcille was the most recent member when the story starts. She never met the previous members who left so the team of Laios, Falin, Chilchuck, Namari and 'Shuro' is what she's always known it as.)

When she becomes dungeon lord, the thing that manages to snap her out of the Winged Lions grasp is the earnest care and love her party is showing her. Literally 'power of friendship'ed their way through the Lions hold and gave her her clarity of mind back.

And!!!! At the end of the feast right before they're about to attempt to revive Falin again, she says!!! this!!!!

She's ready to accept that Falin might not come back, even after everything. The entire story she's been running away from death, from having to outlive her loved ones (in this case: Falin). But here she is, ready to let her stay dead if this last attempt doesn't work.

And it's not giving up. It's realizing that she did all she could, and that it's okay. Because she still got to meet and be friends with Falin. That time with her might be just a speck in the length of life Marcille will have to live still, but it still happened and that's what matters.

It's not about escaping death; it's about cherising the moments before it.

#there is something in here about how the 'tragic immortality' trope is done w/ her #in that the tragedy doesnt lie in the fact shes denying herself of bonds bc she knows theyre temporary #its the fact she refuses to and is 'setting herself up' for repeated losses #i have soooo many feelings about her whole deal #OH ALSO. i didnt mention it in the post itself bc its not the Point BUT #i love that despite her journey by all means being about accepting the losses she has and will experience #her goal hasnt changed #she still strives for a way to even out lifespans #her friends have promised to do all they can to live as long as is possible #just so she wont be alone for as long #in a way saying that her efforts werent in vain even if there isnt any direct results just yet. that it can be possible #ooough marcille. marcille. bbygirl i love u #marcille donato #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #dungeon meshi spoilers #delicious in dungeon spoilers #dunmeshi spoilers #like so many spoilers #xander rambles

You ever wonder why we’re here?

#ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers #tedlassoedit #flashing gif #m*ne #mine: lasso #teddy boy #k i think I’ve sort of gathered my thoughts a little #if this set even makes sense lol #he's just so unmoored.... (can't remember what he used to fight for) #(taylor always relevant) #but i feel like they've seeded all these little reminders of why he came and why he's stayed #that there's this community of people who need and value him #that there are things worth striving for #'you ever wonder why we're here coach?' #'in london or on earth?' #'well both i guess' #who is he after burning himself down last season??? what gives his life purpose and meaning now? #i'm excited to find out!!!

i love the idea that Wild is a big brother to basically all of the kids in his Hyrule. it’s such a good heacanon that i never see utilized.

#with their dads permission he’ll take Cottla and Koko on horse rides and they always have food ready for his horses when he comes into town #cottla wants to learn archery to be like him and he melts when he finds that out #all the kids in Hateno have been caught giving treats to his horses #this is a popular headcanon i think but him teaching the local kiddos how to sword fight so often times he’ll be found directing a horde of #children who’re all swinging treebaches around. he couldn’t look prouder of them. #imagine when he gets older and all the village kids r teens/young adults and all of a sudden the village has skilled hunters and foragers #and everyone’s like ‘wow what’s hateno doing’ and the answer is they all had a great big brother #by older i mean he’d be like. early thirties. but y’know ahsnfjks #wild’s impact should rest in the ppl i think. botw is all abt humanity’s strive to overcome hardship and find beauty in the misery #(well. it is to me anyhow lmao) #so i love the idea of his influence not resting in politics or myths or whatever #but within the culture and spirit of those he fought for #in my brain he definitely wanted to rescue Zelda at first and that’s the only reason he was going to fight ganon #but as his journey progressed he wanted to protect and cultivate the future more than rescue the past #i like this idea w zelda too. like not only will the future generation have great fighters but excellent scholars and leaders. #wow i am RAMBLING #anyhow. i like big bro wild. #linked universe #lu #jojo’s linked universe #linkeduniverse #lu wild #wild lu #wild linked universe #linked universe wild

Fisherman Asuka, a tribute to my online avatar

#Finally I am contributing to the Guilty Gear Community #and this is it #originally I intended to make a fullbody piece #but like #holy shit that costume design #I'll probably get around to it eventually #anyway I like to think Asuka put together a little outdoorsy terrarium area in his moon base #just so that he Jack-o and Fredrick would ave something to do when they visit #like a mini camping trip #he does not understand the meaning of leisurely activities #but is trying his best #guilty gear #guilty gear strive #asuka r kreutz #asuka guilty gear

young Slayer was such a jumpscare but I think he's starting to grow on me, in the sense of like

wow, to think Slayer was ever this young

he already acts like a petty child sometimes, what a menace he must've been as an actual petty child

I look at young Slayer and think, this is who Slayer's vampire parents had to deal with

#guilty gear #guilty gear strive #slayer guilty gear #I realize he's not a child here also #but you know #by comparison and all #plus seeing him at a different age just makes the fact that he was young once feel more real #even if evidentally his physical age can flucuate to a degree #I mean I think this is prolly just similar to Kliff and all #remember Kliff #I remember Kliff
