wait before i go to sleep, because i'm sorting my crate before that

y'know how i spent all of xmas season begging for holiday!Noa to show up. I kept begging for Noa in free pulls.

which makes:

Noa why are you so fucking mean to me.

#he sent his grand again while i wanted his xmas #and like. grand Noa was one of my early unit. #it's on the second page of my Got (Not Recent) SSR tab #he's really playing me like this. #i also got another dupe of fire Naoise which is one weapons i fully uncapped already for my Agni grid #and got like. 2 more since. why. #and all i can think of was how i was losin gmy mind about Lu Woh/Nehan cosplayer who also happens to cosplay Naoise #there was a lot of messages in that pull #but Grand Noa and Belial showing up were just cruel. #ichablogging gbf #ichablogging gbfpulls

whats ur beef?

My favourite manga lost the plot so now i cope by being a hater 👍

#long answer is i have beef with the direction that the bsd manga has taken #it only superficially resembles the beloved mystery and character-driven detective agency story with atsushi as the main character #i'm dissatisfied with major developments like killing off fyodor and reviving him and pulling this #PSYCH his ability wasn't what you thought it was. with zero foreshadowing or buildup #because the manga has become full of marvel-movie type plot twists that serve little to no coherent narrative purpose except shock factor #it cheapens the story and it cheapens the development of characters and it cheapens the reader's experience #because we can't speculate and we can't draw connections and parallels and engage with the story on a deeper level #what connections there exist (for example between manga and anime) are shoehorned in after the popularity of the anime and #specific characters (e.g. fyodor who was shoehorned into untold origins in the anime) and mostly the characters who bring in money #i.e. fyodor and dazai and chuuya and their relationships especially soukoku. all this at the expense of characters like atsushi or #the majority of the female cast. who have been MIA for god knows how long and who were barely given frame each in the anime's finale #bsd treatment of its female characters has been subpar shounen level at best and now they're completely sidelined #as with most of the original cast and the original themes of the story. in fact i struggle to identify a coherent overarching theme #for the current arc. other than military action scifi movie go brrrr #compared to early arcs where each chapter had a meaningful message to say about the importance of living and what it means to stay alive and #keep going and why we are fighting to keep important people in our lives and to keep ourselves alive #and what it means to belong somewhere and what it means to be good or bad and how your place of belonging affects that #as a long term reader i just feel betrayed and disappointed. by how a story with complex and vibrant characters has become another #generic cashgrab shounen. and i mourn for the lost potential it had and everything the series has build up #only to have plot points abandoned at a whim. #so that's why i'm a hater now 👍 #i know a lot of my bsd mutuals are still big fans of bsd so i try not to be obnoxious about it and mainly keep it comedic #like i don't actually hate the manga. because it's so important to me. and i respect the creators of the manga and anime #but it's frustrating to watch a train wreck in real time. and it's my blog i can hate what i want 😔 #sorry if there are typos i wrote all this on mobile and can't edit the tags. i didn't wanna put any of this in the main post

I just finished reading Fourth Wing after picking it up because of all the hype, and because I love dragons, and... I have to say it's the worst book I've read in quite a while lmao. the dragons were its only redeeming quality

#seriously not worth it y'all sorry #not tagging the title bc i don't want to rain on other peoples' parade #it just was notttt my cup of tea at all #if you like a court of thorns and roses you might like fourth wing. personally I hated ACOTAR for a lot of the same reasons #mainly: language and writing style that clashed painfully with the supposed genre #(fantasy characters saying shit like 'Holy. Fucking. Hot' and 'looking respectfully' and 'vibes' is just NOT believable lmao) #plus the characters and plot were very shallow! nothing was fleshed out! nothing made me *care* abt the characters! #the worldbuilding had sooo much potential but nothing was really explored and it felt so slapdash! #idk it just felt like a YA smut/romance remix of ACOTAR/Shadow & Bone/Divergent wearing a fantasy trenchcoat #it did have a lot of potential but i'm sorry to say the author did not manage to pull it off. :/ #oh well. at least the dragons were cool as hell #books #anti fourth wing #if you want to read my more coherent review just message me and i'll give you my goodreads info

random messages for whoever this needs to find 🫶🏽

some of you may have been feeling like a connection you have with someone is starting to come to an end. you may have lost a bit of contact with a friend, or have been trying to find a way to end a connection with a person. you or this person may be a water sign, or have prominent water placements. i feel like you may be ignoring some of the signs that that universe is giving to you, in favor of staying in a comfortable situation. this may be a long term friendship for some of you, as i’m seeing a reluctance to let go because of the time you’ve spent with that person. a bit of advice from your guides: if the time you spent wasn’t fulfilling, then should it really be in your life? and for others, the good times are nice to reminisce on, but when a certain relationship had run its course, it’s time to do what’s best for you. make the courageous choice of taking care of yourself, rather than expending all of your energy on others.

for some of you, a major piece of advice is to be a bit easier on yourself. you’re allowed to have fun without feeling like you’re wasting time, because you’re no wasting time. you’re actually right on track, and the universe wants you to learn to enjoy life, rather than be so serious about it. stop ignoring the things that you’re being called to do, and let go of the things you know aren’t meant for you. follow the lead of your heart, and let the universe align your energy to the things that you have been manifesting. stop resisting the change. be honest with yourself about the career path that you want to do. are you picking the career you’re in because you want to do it, or because society, your friends, your family, etc. all expect you to do it? are you truly living your highest calling, or are you trying to make the people around you happy? why is that? why do you feel undeserving of happiness, and substitute it with the happiness of others? it’s okay to ask these questions, and acknowledge that work needs to be done within oneself.

it’s time to relearn all of the life lessons that you needed. what lessons did you learn too late due to the formation of your trauma? what lessons did the situation you were in teach you and how does that reflect your beliefs and values? i think this has turned into a lesson on shadow work for whoever this may concern lol.

some of you could possibly be starseeds and if you are or that thought resonated with you, welcome bbies 🫶🏽 you may have started this lifetime with someone else in your soul tribe on a double mission. this relationship is going to provide a lot of healing to both you, your person, and the general collective as well. your mission is to raise the vibration of the universe, and bring light and happiness back into a darkened world. you will be healing past wounds, breaking generational curses, and bringing about a new age.

i think that you, your person, or perhaps the both of you could be public figures. i think your life lessons and experiences both separated and together provide more insight and understanding to a lot of other peoples situations. if not public figures, then you’re at least well known in your current community. people look up to you guys, i can see people actually using you as role models for how they want to live their lives. i feel like the connection between you and this other energy is definitely romantic, it’s giving unconditional love and adoration for another, someone who fits them like a key to a lock. one of you could also be spiritual, or have psychic abilities.

you could have been in a period where you were very spiritually aware, or at least were seeing a lot of signs and synchronicities, or you’re going to experience this soon. there will have been a surge in spiritual knowledge, getting intuitive hits randomly throughout the day, gaining clarity on very foggy areas of your life, being more trusting and open with your guides, yourself, and the universe, etc. this will have come after a period of solitude. you took the time to yourself to meet your shadow, to understand everything that makes you you, and to accept those parts of yourself and finally live authentically. things will start to shift radically in your life at that point. during this time, it is a call to action. this is the moment for you to go after the things you want, floor the gas pedal and go for the finish line!

okay this is turning into a love reading lmao hold on.

a sign that you might be meeting your person is that you start to become more expressive. you may not be someone who voices their opinions a lot, but you find yourself speaking out more where you’d usually stay silent. the four of wands fell out, which is a heavy indication of happy endings, family, healthy homes, children, pregnancy, etc. i feel like this person gets these feelings immediately, and the feeling is probably mutual lol. i think that this connection either moves really quickly once you meet, or the connection is going to surface very soon for you. either of you could have prominent fire placements in your chart as well.

i think you two share very similar mindsets, and have similar passions as well. i think that you guys could bond over a common interest in your careers as well. you may even meet because of a work project. you both needed to create the foundation you needed within yourselves to meet each other and start your mission together, and you both have reached a point where you’re ready for union. you have the ace or swords, which indicates clear intentions, deep, intellectual conversations, and new incoming contact with someone.

this connection is everything that you could have ever asked for. i feel like this is something you and your person both manifested, and it was finally the right time for you two to come together. start preparing yourself now, for you have a lot of things coming for you! it’s time to start getting ready to live your dream life 🫶🏽

do you think Scott didn't fire the crossbow because rockets are way harder to come by than arrows?

I am going to give scott the benefit of doubt and try not to make my interpretation the darkest possible and say that scott didnt fire the crossbow because while arrows arent too much damage, fireworks are a little extreme. However, I am saying this knowing that giving scott the benefit of doubt and trying not to make my interpretation the darkest possible has now been my detriment THREE DIFFERENT TIMES NOW and I dont know how much longer I can do this for

#before today my assumption was that scotts crossbow threat was a lot more subtle than it was #i imagined it more as him holding it idly to get the message across and jimmy not really picking up on it #but. rewatching it a few times. Jimmy definitely starts backing away when scott pulls the crossbow. he 100% noticed #im actually so upset you guys no one is more upset about todays discoveries than me #it just keeps getting worse can someone throw me in the forever dungeon already I think it would be good for me #asks #deranged.fh.posting

#reblogs denied #I got a lot going on ok #I'm not worthy of the connections I have #a normal friendship has been in clingy obsessive territory on my part for a while now and I hate myself for it #additionally I can't meet the deadlines I set for myself and I make the mistake of pulling people I admire into them #why did he have to message me on my birthday :'D I don't want to disappoint him!

So my dislike of/indifference to the Stellaron Hunters in Star Rail turned around the moment I realized that they're actually just a way more fucked up space version of the Leverage crew. You know, if Nate had decided his schtick was predicting possible futures and getting his crew to make sure the right ones happened.

But. For real. Kafka is mastermind Parker, with a bit more polish and fewer scruples. Blade is "what happens if Eliot came back from his previous jobs Very Wrong? and also immortal?" And Silver Wolf is obvious, tbh. Genius hacker nerd who is somehow the most socially functional of their group? Easy.

We just need Sam to turn out to be a robot grifter and all the pieces will be there.

#honkai star rail #i'll laugh a lot if elio turns out to be an asshole pulling a con #or at least an asshole using his powers to get revenge on his enemies #anyway the stellaron hunters are great #i've been thinking about this recently since i pulled kafka #her text messages are actually surprisingly sweet

Please share your analysis of all this time

All This Time is Gay™️

Ok, joking apart, for me, it's the song with the strongest queer subtext on the album. It's not as easy to interpret as OTB was on Walls. The song also fits other interpretations in line with the general themes of the albums (love, friendship, hope, growth). As usual there are no right or wrong answers, but here are some of my thoughts.

I don't have much to say about the first verse, except that 'I'm tryna find the words to say for ages' is reminescent of Defenseless.

Now onto the pre-chorus.... I'll be honest those lyrics are the most mysterious on the whole album for me.

And I keep on building mountains hoping that they'll turn to gold

I'm not sure I understand the metaphor. But the image that I get are mountains are obstacles; he's doing something that he knows will be difficult. He keeps hoping the mountains will turn to gold, meaning some sort of miracle will not only make the obstacle/hardship disappear, but it will turn into a treasure, into something that one only hopes for. In short, he's a hopeless romantic and hasn't given up on the idea of love. But that love is not easy to find/reach.

But the truth is, I still doubt that what I do can get me home

Even with all his hopes and ideals, he's not sure that he will succeed, that it will be enough. The concept of home here is interesting - home as in the place where you are truly yourself, the place where you belong, the place that you usually share with the person/people you love. He's not sure he'll ever make it home, no matter how much he tries - tying in again the idea of external obstacles, that love, loving and being loved are not easy.

When it gets cold / Oh, sometimes, sometimes, I lose my hope

When it gets cold, when you're alone, you lose your hope. You wonder if you'll ever find someone to love and who will love you back. Again with the idea that love is hard thing to find.

Our eyes meet / And I can tell that you're the same as me / It's the way we / It's the way we see ourselves through walls of trees

This verse has the strongest queer subtext because it's just... obvious. You're in a room full of people and you see one person who is just like you. It's the way we always recognize people like us, through the crowd. He's not alone.

And you keep on building mountains hoping that they'll turn to gold / But the truth is, you still doubt that what you do can get you home

The verse is repeated but the subject changes from the narrator (I) to his interlocutor (you). Thus saying the other person is in the same situation as he his. The experience is shared, universal.

But the friends we make, the love it takes / It's worth, it's worth, it's worth the pain The friends we make, the love it takes / It's worth, it's worth, it's worth it all this time

No matter how painful the experience is, it's worth it for the friendships (community); the love it takes to be truly yourself, to love who you wanna love, it's worth it; all this time you're doubting, feeling lonely, hopeless, it's worth it in the end and you should not give up.

TLDR: love is only for the brave

hello hello my friends!!! just a quick little update from yours truly - and a few snippets, of course ;)c

things continue to be strange and chaotic here, and as a result, my brain has decided to be...strange and chaotic :P i've been trying to stick to one project at a time and just soldier through, but said chaos is making that rough, so i'm trying to just get words down as they occur to me, regardless of what project they're for. so, much as i'd like to say "keep your eyes peeled for an [x] update soon!" the reality is that i have...no idea what's going to hold my attention for the next ten minutes, hahaha.

what i will say is i currently have three ongoing projects that are priorities, and those are like wringing blood from a stone, of mummy men & bathtub soup, and the tale(s) of the champion - so i've included little teaser snippets of those below! as always, thanks for your patience, your well-wishes, and for reading!!! i hope you and yours are doing well, and that you're being extra kind to yourselves now that we're entering the winter months <3

like wringing blood from a stone

“Holy smokes, you sure take ‘protect and serve’ seriously out here, huh? Thirty minutes or your arrest is free—is it that kinda thing?” His head was spinning too fast to make a lick of sense out of that; luckily, Diane wasn’t having the same problem. “Believe it or not, he was already here. Kaitlyn, this is…” she paused just long enough to meet Chris’s gaze, but he couldn’t for the life of him read what he saw there in her eyes. “…uh, well, meet Sheriff Hackett.” “Sheriff Ha—oh.” Then, with more feeling, “Oh. I…huh, wow, really? I don't think I would've guessed that.” Chris shrugged. “We get that a lot. Turns out there were only enough handsome genes for one sibling in this family.” “Yeah,” Diane sighed, “and it’s a crying shame it’s Bobby who got ‘em all.” That broke the tension instantly. Chris and Travis both whirled to stare at her, expressions incredulous. Gently nudging Kaitlyn’s shoulder, Diane nodded towards them. “See?” she asked. “Now you can tell they’re related.” “Wow, you’re not wrong! Weird.”

of mummy men & bathtub soup

“Oh good God, Alex. This is obviously some kind of dumb joke—” “Did you find something?” Ashley asked suddenly, looking up from the table. “Something that felt like it was…I don’t know, um, hidden? Not just lost or left behind but actually hidden?” Even knowing it was bullshit, Conrad had to admit…Brown had been well cast. A finger of dread slid down his spine in a lover’s caress, making him shudder; Alex and Julia, less sure of the truth behind this whole debacle, did a little more than that. Fuck, he watched the color drain from JJ’s face like she was some kind of cartoon character, and Mr. Big Bad Med School Bro wasn’t doing a whole hell of a lot better, by the looks of it. The spell broke when Julia whirled on Alex. “Did you say any—” she froze, turning on him then. “You told them! You told them, didn’t you, you little shit weasel?!” Chris sat up straighter. “Shit weasel?”

the tale(s) of the champion

“Which one,” she repeated. “It’s the first thing Varric said during his questioning, did you know that?” The smile in her voice made its first appearance, quirking the corners of her mouth into a shape subtle enough that the Inquisitor felt as though the two of them were in on some secret joke together. “Cassandra asked him…well, demanded of him, I suppose, that he tell her everything he knew about the Champion. And he responded by asking her—” “Which one.” She watched Leliana’s smile grow. It wasn’t by much, but it was there all the same. The sense of being in on a joke grew right along with it. “Now, she probably thought he was poking fun at her…and in all likelihood he was, but of course we know now that there was so much more to it, don’t we?” Leliana rose from her table with the grace of a ghost, each fluid movement reminding her in no uncertain terms that, spymaster or not, agent of the Divine or not, the woman opposite her was, at the end of the day, a bard before all else. “Cassandra is skilled in many, many areas, Inquisitor, as I’m sure you’ve come to learn. Certainly she’s without equal on the battlefield, but when it comes to…reading people, let us say…” Again that inscrutable smile grew. “Well…suffice it to say an answer like that would’ve caught my attention, had I been the one questioning him.” “But you weren’t.” The last word came out strangely choked—she hadn’t been able to decide whether or not she’d wanted it to be a question.

(me, preparing an important presentation on queer issues): ah, yes, doing this will make my favorite fictional characters so proud of me >:)

Me, cont: yes, they will indeed be proud of me for standing in front of an audience and talking, despite the fact that they do not exist, cannot see me, and do not know of my existence. making fictional characters proud of me is something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve...

(does anyone else do this?)

#personal #like... i'm doing something difficult #and pretending that they're going to be proud of me if i pull it off helps #if i manage to pull off what i'm trying to pull off it will be huge #even if the audience is limited #i'm half debating advertising it to get some extra publicity #sending the zoom link by which people would be able to watch me #but... hmm... #my topic is a little controversial #it's about the intersection of the queer and christian community #and how christians should learn to be more chill with LGBT+ folk #and... how christians and LGBT+ people shouldn't be enemies #but instead focus on the real villains of the world- white supremacists and nazis #this will be incredibly difficult to handle with sensitivity and grace #and i'm really scared of doing it for a lot of reasons #putting a few different kinds of potential targets on my back to deliver an important message #but if i do it..... and do it well... #i'm sure the fictional characters i adore would be so proud of me despite the fact that they don't exist #and cannot see me or know who i am
