#there's a structure and a threat to it

[gloriousmonsters]

love when you can ask the Narrator why the Princess is a Princess and he's like 'well i uhhhh YOU did that. maybe it's because uh... something something about her being above you... but still approachable... look i don't want to analyze or anthropomorphize your--' my guy. i am a primal being of Order and Eternity and Shaping. You're the one who convinced me I was some dude and were quite willing to take credit for shaping my view on the world through narration five seconds ago. Are you gonna look me in the eye and tell me the desire to interpret something worthy of adoration and more powerful than me as a dommy princess is written in the very nature of the universe or are you going to show me your browser history like a man

#this is a joke but the 'so where did i get the Idea of a princess from??' still stands #since we remember nothing and don't seem to have many ideas about like. what the world looks like #but when given the conception of 'we're a hero' from the narrator's Quest #we immediately go to 'so the thing you're telling us to kill is a Princess' -> i.e something I'm not SUPPOSED to kill #and in fact am supposed to respect and cherish #and/or pledge eternal loyalty to #(and then on a deeper level we KNOW that we're the dragon #we're the biggest threat to her we're what has the power to trap her and keep her here #we're a monster just like her) #but my point remains. as a god-entity stripped of memory where did we get the idea of a (human/like) Princess. do we still have like... #the threads of common narratives sort of built into our structure b/c we're the god-half concerned with Shaping and Naming and Order? #that would kind of slap #anyway uh. dragging myself offstage now #slay the princess #slay the princess spoilers #stp spoilers

I'm catching up with comms so in the meantime here is a page from KF 2022 PDF, which I drew to substitute for a NSFW post!

I hope you will have a great Monday <3

52 weeks of KICK Fridays - what is it?

It's 3 PDFs made out of my Patreon content where I published Klance each Friday (Kick Fridays) since 2020. You can buy them by lowest price Patreons could pay each year to see it (1/month) on my shop (payhip.com/mezzy). I publish something for each sold PDF 💞

#klance #laith #hi tumblr! #ughhh i ckecked out my folders and ive seen so many cute art i feel like o javent shared or #am reluctant to share because its unfinished #SO MANY its a struggle #thinking posting maybe just pilesnof doodles #though that poses a threat to a structure i had of trying my best to actually finish arr but #maybe there is an equilibrium in it somewhere #anyway let me know if we enjoy content or tag the year #if someone mentions renesAINcE im going to start spamming you with old art reblogs #😆 #its already tuesdsy when im posting btw #but draft has been done on monday so we are going with it #no one will know

I know it's easy to forget the YLLZ actually did do some of the things he was accused of (most wrong) #but wwx also has blood on his hands. He also sought revenge in pretty twisted ways.

I really am starting to notice a pattern in Helluva Boss:

1. Introduce new character that’s a threat or antagonist

2. Have them disappear for episodes and never be mentioned by the main characters or acknowledged, not affecting the main narrative at all.

3. Insert Stolitz episode or filler episode with the characters the exact same and never changing or adapting

4. Bring said antagonistic character back in the most underwhelming way possible

Repeat.

#I fucking hate how this show is structured on god you can tell the creator has no idea what she’s doing #tell me why the IMP gang hasn’t taken ANY precautions on the villains they came across or mentioned them #like did we just forget about the agents #and it’s still bs that the imp gang never told Stolas that there was an assassin hired to kill him #these characters are fucking idiots #nobody uses their brain in this show #there’s no fucking nuance #it’s just a cycle #see what happens when you’re too focused on introducing as many threats as possible in season 1? #I could go into more depth but not now #vivziepop critical #spindlehorse critical #helluva boss critical #helluva boss critique #helluva critical #helluva boss criticism #helluva boss

Map boi is back with more map

This time it's the ★exterior★

It's not as nice looking as the interior, (which you can find → here btw) but i think it's bigger as a region.

I will be making at least one more, and it will be of Two Birds' can because it's got lots of rot bits and that sounds like fun to design.

Pearl dialogue and some rambles below the cut↓

I know I said dialogue but fr look at this

THE DIFFERENCE in canvas size here

Pearl dialogue for both of the two regions

Bright Pink pearl dialogue when read by Veil Of Dreams:" What is it Mouse? Oh a pearl, alright I'll have a look. Ah this one is one of mine, it contains various notes regarding Four Blue Flames when he was still being constructed. It was actually a personal request of mine to have him built, his technology is better than mine in practically every way and he makes for a great research partner. I admire his work ethic, but I do wish he took breaks. After our creators' Ascension he's only become more wrapped up in the Great Problem, I worry for him. ... There is nothing more on this pearl that would interest you, you can have it back, I do not need it."

Bright Pink pearl dialogue when read by Four Blue Flames: "Hello Mouse, a pearl? Let's have a look. Hm, where did you find this? It's encrypted so I cannot read it to you, but I can guess that it was written by one of us. Unfortunately, I am of no use to you, but if you like pink then the pearl would make for a great decoration. Or alternatively, you can trade it to the scavengers. Of course, they will ruin the pearl like they do with the rest but if you are in need of explosives the scavengers excel in their creation. Now if you do not mind, allow me to get on with my work."

Deep Red pearl dialogue when read by Veil Of Dreams: "Rodent, you've got a pearl, allow me to read it for you. Oh, this one holds digital copies of several pieces of literature, I was missing many of these from my memory banks. I have them saved now, but I do not like the implications of this. Please Mouse, take the pearl and bring it to the library in the Capital."

Deep Red pearl dialogue when read by Four Blue Flames: "Oh a pearl, let's see what it says. This one is filled with all sorts of religious literature, it's rather old, from the Green hegemonic linguistic dynasty. It contains texts for meditation and prayers and various forms of religious guidance. I actually did not have this archived, so I appreciate your fondness of treasure hunting, you are a great help. I think this one would fit nicely in the Capital's library, please, bring it to Veil Of Dreams and he will guide you from there."

#MAAAN THESE TAKE SO LOOOON #i will make more #i would actually have echo dialogue bUUUt i havent thought of anything so uhh ye #also some people asked how i made the map on the last post and its honestly just done on a small canvas on my usual drawing #program. Just turn off anti-aliasing and set brush size to 1 and start drawing. The background is just black with like 50% opacity and then #there is the colour layer under all that. No fancy program or anything :> #embrace massive supercomputer and design the entire structure ya cowards/j #the exterior would be fairly safe tbh i mean there might be the occasional spider and maybe a white lizard or two #but the main threat would be uuuuh a lot of miros vultures- so actually maybe not that safe #but mouse does get a citizen id drone later and both mouse and fish get put on a sorta “no kill” list by veil of dreams #dreams loves his birds oh he has so many around his structure its not even funny #rain world #iterator #rain world oc #iterator oc #oc veil of dreams #drawins

God, I wish Europe was completely military independent from the US, so we wouldn't have to worry so much about which demented man they pick as their president.

#This morning I read about PESCO #A Permanent Structured Cooperation between European countries to make us less military dependent on America #And how the US threw a fit because they saw PESCO as a threat to their military influence in Europe 🙃

I want to make sure you know that Umineko fanfic A) exists and B) goes hard. 'Wanderlust', 'Redaction', and 'Forget' in particular are absolute bangers which stay faithful to the original while introducing mysteries of their own: you don't have to worry about running out of Umineko when you clear EP8.

this is good to know and so funny given that i've gotten almost 18 months of enjoyment out of half of one episode. i will in fact be reading and experiencing umineko for the rest of my life.

#gremlinaristocrat #fanfics... adaptations.. a whole bunch of other supplementary material... higurashi..... i'm gonna be here forever aren't i #the real unspoken nuclear-grade threat is when i know enough about umineko's mechanisms/structures to make my own fic lmao

capitalism will turn everything into a commodity including anti-capitalism but it will defang it and turn it into an idea instead of a theory. You may have noticed, for example, lots of (western) media putting in moments like "oh capitalism sucks" just saying it out-loud, and maybe it's noticable that it feels a bit... shallow. Its because people are increasingly realizing how unsustainable and harmful capitalism is, but capitalism continues to commodify anti-capitalism while refusing to allow a solution. Its ok to say "anti-capitalism" on tv but its not ok to say "communism" because actually positioning any sort of thought for a solution is a threat

#This isnt even to say every person writing an anticapitalist plotline in a show or movie #Is secretly a capitalist themselves and are doing it performatively #Moreso this is me reflecting on how the structures see this display of 'anti-capitalism' as a non-risk #While obviously disallowing anything that would actually pose as a disruption or threat to the system itself

idk if im even comprehensible rn but I kinda wish help wanted 2 had more like, survival? minigames?

maybe its just me missing the old fnaf games but I think vr is a great place to have more of the older style minigames

#ik theres sister location custom night and whatnot but still #anyway thats just me #I do like the newer styled minigames but idk #it feels like theres not really a proper threat? #especially with like how “structured” the fast food games were #like yk how you are given a time limit and thats pretty much the only threat #except for endos but like those don't really seem like as much of a threat #maybe im insane honestly #help wanted 2 #help wanted 2 spoilers #^ ig if someone following me doesn't know about the games in hw2

Just imagine Hashirama’s Mokuton reacting to his emotions! I read this HC about how when Hashirama’s happy flowers and mushrooms will sprout out of his hair. When he’s sad the plants around him wilt. When he’s embarrassed red ixoras sprout on his ears like earrings. When he’s scared they’ll cocoon him with vines to protect him. When he’s angry they get out of control. Like shoots bursting out of cracks in the ground. Or trees suddenly growing thicker so everything goes dark cause they’re blocking out the sun. Also like the idea that if Hashirama’s in danger they’ll take control to protect him but he can lose himself to them entirely and this scares Tobirama so much. Until he starts learning how to control it.

I have a very specific view of how mokuton works, based on regulated and unregulated release of chakra into water and elements that causes things to grow. And I like the idea of hashirama being terrified of his own emotions

Edit: Anon was thinking of this post from @atqh16 🖤

#hashirma must conceal dont feel :-] #also new hsrm horror threat: accidently making fungi grow and getting ppl sick #the implication of mushroom bodies growing from his skin is honestly horrifying bc they must be rooted there #his skin can be plants not fungi. fungi is weird and it must actually be breaking down his body. oh god hes giving off dead plant vibes #thats why they're growing on him. and by vibes i mean chemical signals #also if he looks suddenly different its bc i actually looked at a reference and i always forget how his face is structured lol #his face is not as long as i wanna make it for some reason #also im just devising new ways to hurt tbrm #senju tobirama #senju hashirama #uzumaki mito #body horror #the cosmic horror of hashirama #naruto #the last pic is v hsrm itchy and uncomfy #sure. ill post this at 5am

is it strange that the Enigma of Combination was so vilified(?) for being the Thing That Makes Combiners or is it just 5am

#transformers #idk if my critical reading skills slipped my brain while i was reading idw #or if prime wars is so bad i just cant understand it at all #but was the main problem w the enigma the fact that it turned 5 robots into 1 big robot as a sixth entity borne of its components #who had a personality & independence as real as any of its component members yet could willingly dissociate into those 5 robots again #& by virtue of that independence could only be controlled by a governing body by replacing one or more of its gestalt #w someone loyal to that governing body or even singular person/ideal #thus fundamentally altering how the 1 giant robot's priorities & worldview are structured in a way that borders on mind control/manipulatio #but in the absence of that alteration the 1 robot & its gestalt would be treated as an unstable threat even when uncombined #even if the gestalt and/or combiner show no evidence of these threats & may just want to exist outside of combat #& that the enigma is what put the gestalt together as a combiner for better or for worse & can readily do so whenever #or should i have just gone to bed six hours ago when i was tired #maccadam

What's so wild to me is like. Wille technically hooking up with anyone in Hillerska would've been a scandal. Simply because like. While within the student body it would've likely been fine (the same way all the girls pretty much KNOW it was really wille in the video with Simon but publically it "wasn't wille"), if his cousin August wanted to fuck up his life he could still leak info and hurt Wille. Like... Wille could've immediately gotten with Felice, and any public leaks of a video would still have led to his mom going "We need you OUT of that school and making a press statement." Or if it had leaked to the public they had the party with drugs, which is why getting Alex not to rat them out was such a big deal.

Within Hillerska, in fact, even if he'd been with a boy... if it had been say one of the inner group that knows August, most likely everyone would've kept their mouth shut. Still it would be a risk, because being with a boy means scandal blackmail they can use over Wille if they want to hurt or threaten him to do something (cough August cough). But still, in the grand scheme, Wille could've probably been fine crushing on some person like Alex along with a non disclosure agreement.

But Simon. Simon and his sister Sara in particular are the outliers of the school. Sure, it would be a scandal in PUBLIC either way if anything Wille does at school (that isn't picture perfect) gets out. But Simon is partly such a Risk, because INTERNALLY Hillerska does not approve. They don't want someone who isn't elite to talk to them, sit with them, converse with them. Sara gets off slightly easier because Felice does make an effort to see her as equal, use her own status to back up Sara (and since Felice is queen bee there's no bully pushing back on it the way August tries to push Simon back down if Wille tries to treat Simon as equal), and Sara tries hard to blend in and not stir the pot. Simon gives zero fucks about blending in, about playing nice or tolerating bullying, he is himself pure and simple. And Hillerskas elite little teens don't want to be seen mixed up with a regular teen, and in particular the guy's don't want to look chummy with a guy with zero power (is it fragile masculinity? That they all NEED TO OWN MASSIVE PROPERTY to be respected by each other? need to have tangible POWER which is why season 2 Wille has a pretty easy time pushing August down since August doesn't have any). So for the guy's and their fucked up values in particular? It hurts their ego, to see how HARD they have to try just to get a speck of respect. And then to see Wille, the PRINCE who's automatically got more than they ever will (and who they like pushing down in the hierarchy on technicalities to feel he at least has to conform to be powerful too), to see Wille talk to Simon as an equal? Absolutely unacceptable to them. Even without the crush, just being Simon's friend is so unacceptable to them. Seeing Wille value Simon more then them is like throwing all the hoops they jump through and maintain in their face (much like Wille starts breaking things for August season 2). It was always going to be a massive hurdle for Wille to want to be close to Simon. Not even to the country or the monarchy, but also at a much smaller level. In their world in their school, its not a possibility that their peers can allow to exist. At least not when Wille starts school. (Though ill say Felice and Wille have done a bit at starting to dismantle that)

#young royals #lb #rant #i am too tired and sick rn but. i think theres decinitely merit in comparing Hillerska to society at large #and the elite and the power structures they enforce and self imprison tjemselves in. in order to keep down ALL OTHER people. #and how hillerska is a micro version of that. #and why simon is Such a threat. sara? she is ultimately going the route of: attempt to conform and eventually #be accepted for following the rules and sysyem and become New Money #and we know how that goes politically... #whereas simon is like... fuck the system. im just as smart. i have the right to equality simply by existing. #i dont have to change to deserve that. i WILL punch August for using me. even tho it breaks the hierarchy. #i will let a Prince (symbolic of the TOP of the elite hierarchy) go to soccer and treat him #like an equal to me. not better. no hoops to jump through. no catering to him #politically simon represents a Lot.... #and wille highlights the points as like yhe Elite who is aware the whole system is fucked up and stupid and shouldnt exist #he benefits but he doesnt want to be like Felice and help people climb WITHIN the system. #he doesnt want the system and inequality FULL STOP. so of course he sees simon as #the best moral option. simon represents what wille considers ideal and correct.

Here's a link to the new fic. I wrote it in a couple hours to break through writer's block, and it turned out much less cuddly and fun than I'd intended, but it is done.

#worm #worm rp #wormblr #leaning into the real structural failure that is the real horror of Worm #where even the good guys are bad because they don't have a chance at stemming the unending tides of new threats to unpowered people #and end up covering up a lot of deaths #while manipulating their Capes to stay loyal via emotional sabotage

" As you can see by my profile picture I stand behind Ukraine! "

A girl who loves to play progressive but who will 100%

- Send death threats to someone she knows to be a minor, autistic, abused and mentally unwell

- Misgender a trans person because she doesn't like them (Same minor as cited above)

- Call someone who used to be in a poly relationship a whore (Same minor as cited above, happened after they turned 18 but she has no way of knowing that)

- Will absolutely write stupid with *****goag even though people tell her she's being disrespectful of another culture/religion

A yes, progressive ...

#Did I forgot to mention it's a Darkstalker fan #like its not a crime especially since she isn't an apologist #She's also an Offenderman fan #Im the minor btw #well not anymore but yeah #all of that just because I didn't constantly answered her messages #she also tried to get me banned from one of the french wof amino #she got banned for bullying and making bad ocs instead #Like bruh I want to tell the entire story but I'm scared of how it could go bad #since I want to drag her to court for all the death and doxxing threats she made me suffer throughout #maybe one day I will but I need to structure the entire thing first #Like bruh yeah me not answering sometimes for long periods of time wasn't nice but chill #Like the thing is that she constantly comes back
