#these people give me the floods

[tiarnanabhfainni]

i loved the part of the book where piranesi resolves to take better care of himself while he's rediscovering his own history. he just has so much compassion for himself! the journal upsets him so he takes a week off and does things he enjoys and then he settles into a safe place when he wants to tackle the subject again. and he doesn't believe The Other when he's told about his amnesia! he values his own insights and his own knowledge of the House even when fucking ketterley is actively trying to undermine his sense of self. piranesi's gentle treatment of himself and the person he used to be is genuinely so moving.

#piranesi #i could go on about his recounting of the times he let himself go hungry and made stupid decisions #but there's nothing in the way of self-recrimination #he just says: #i didn't know then what i know know and i would do things differently #he stands up for himself when he's talking to raphael too even though he likes her #obvs he's got oodles of compassion for other people too #he takes care of the dead. he gives nesting material to the albatrosses. he leaves the herring gulls alone before retrieving the paper #he enters the scary room for The Other. he warns sixteen about the flood. he blesses the prophet #(who does not fucking deserve it) #he writes directions to the statue #even when he comes back he goes and finds poor james ritter #but it's the self compassion that touches me the most

Bruce definitely knows how to cook, but he's one of those guys who goes to the grocery store to get ingredients for a meal. For every meal. His fridge is normally completely empty except for protein shake ingredients.

Clark grew up with a rural family, he's definitely used to scrounging around in the cupboards and throwing together ingredients into something cohesive. My guy can take half an onion, an alien mushroom he found, some ancient lentils, and a container of leftover soup, and make a full hearty meal.

#I'd like to think he lets people give him foods sometimes #he saves someone from a flood and they insist on giving him half a pound of produce #and he's done chores on other people's farms #you never get away from that sort of thing without some fresh eggs or baked goods or something #so he's used to receiving food as gratitude! #he'd never accept money but he will accept an entire traditionally-smoked salmon because his mom raised him that way #His friends love coming over just to inspect the contents of his fridge and see what he can make with it all #dc #superbat #superman #batman #my mom had some food insecurity growing up and learning to cook from her gave me a magic touch with leftovers

A who suffers more poll but it's batfam fans that actually read the comics vs dc fans who hate batman and the batfam

FHDKJFHSAKS

#this is not a serious poll so im gonna skew the results by giving my opinion #bc it is absolutely dc fans who hate batman #like it is sooooo annoying to be a bat fan and have to deal with. Those fans #but people that are just here for non bat content have nowhere to go #bc half of the books dc publishes are batman books and the other half have batfam cameos #AND you come on here and every dc tag is flooded with people relating random characters to the bats #like i think about john constantine fans #i dont know a lot about constantine but i DO know that his tags are overrun by dc x dp #or by people shoving him into the 'other character is shocked and scared by the batfam' trope #and dont even get me started on the roy harper tag

J*ly stans are like cockroaches infesting my house and no matter how much anti-cockroach spray I buy they always find ways to get on my nerves it doesn’t matter how many I crush, or how many times I move they’re like tiny parasites finding their way to me through every crack and one day I’ll just burn my entire house down with them all inside and live a peaceful life.

#my house is my fyp btw I love tumblr bc I can filter them out #thing is I actually do not give two flying fucks if anyone writes or reads Jily #like I get how fandom works and I support everyone doing what they want #it’s just these annoying little kids flooding comment sections and making tiktoks about how any mlm ship is pure evil bc it excludes lily #like is lily in the room with us rn? #shes a fictional character she doesn’t even exist #the people you’re calling misogynistic for not liking her or any ship that involves her however do #Jily stans are the most insufferable humans I’ve ever come across #and I’ve been in other fandoms but nothing is like the superiority complex in this one #you’re not better for liking a canon ship you’re not better because you only write/read wlw you’re not better than potterheads #because try explaining who James is without saying he’s Harry potters dad #and nobodys interpretations of a character are more valid than the other #just because some tiktok got a few likes and some views doesn’t mean that whatever ppl say is canon or an unspoken rule about a character #y’all aren’t superior to anyone #and don’t even get me started on how entitled some ppl are because. god #anyways I’m just very frustrated rn #I’ll probably delete this later

idk why but I just feel like chatting w people today so…

fav redacted character??? fav series??

how long have ya liked redacted??

Also! I’m a talkative lil shit so I gotta ask, how do u feel about dms?

🫶🏼-Ken

Hey! Thank you for the opportunity to rave about my faves lmao

Favorite Character: Milo! He's charming, witty, hilarious, and I love his voice. If I ever need a feel-good audio, I typically listen to one of his. My favorite character from an analysis standpoint, however, is Vega. There are just SO MANY layers to him that make him so much fun to poke and prod at. I typically list him as number two, but he beats Milo in from a theorizing standpoint.

Favorite Series: Toss-up between Carpe Deus and The Balance, but I have to go with Carpe Deus at the end of the day. Yes, I know, it's kind of serving a narrative glue-esk purpose between some of the storylines, but the LORE on this?? Unmatched. Plus, there is the added benefit of ✨️Vega✨️ lol.

I've been a fan of the channel for around three years! Maybe a bit longer. I found the channel right before the audio where Adam got decapitated was put out, so I try to use that as a marker. My first character was Adam (the kidnapping audio), and my second was Vega (the audio with Freelancer).

And my dms are always open! In fact, if you want, I'd love to hear your answers to these questions too! Talking about Redacted with people is so much fun, and you seem cool :D

#asks like this make me so happy #also it gives me a chance to remind myself and others that milo is indeed my favorite #despite never posting about him #redacted audio #redacted asmr #redactedverse #t4llt4lks #and this is an open invitation to anyone reading this: #PLEASE flood my inbox with redacted talk #i love talking to people about this stuff

never thought i'd see people try to argue or analyse wriothesley's murder in regards to his personality. i think people are missing the point. the situation has nothing to do with him and has everything to do with an extremely traumatic environment that made a small boy think the only solution so save himself and the people he cared about was to take the life of his abusers. it's not supposed to be rational, it wasn't premeditated, it wasn't about getting away with it. if you read his description of the murder you can see how out of it he was. his goal was to protect himself and his siblings and that's what he did. that's why he admitted to the crime so easily and why he is keen to associate the fortress as a rebirth place. he was just young, lost and traumatised and that's about it when it comes to the extension of it all.

#people acting like they're disappointed because he's a 'manipulative' and cunning individual or because he's cold and that it doesn't match #the crime as if at that time he wasn't just a kid experiencing extreme distress and without a safe space to seek help #i also don't personally think he's manipulative at all. he isn't like ayato or yae miko. he has very strong values and he does everything #to abide to that. if that means ommiting information at some point to make the best out of a situation he will do so but he doesn't do #things for personal gain and as soon as he can be truthful he lays all the cards on the table #this reminds me of that ayaka situation where people tried to paint her as manipulative when all she did was ask the traveller to hear #people's stories so traveller could take their own conclusions about the situation in inazuma shsjsh #it's also the way wrio isn't even cold. he's serious and composed but goddamn if he didn't show how empathetic he is #also how lightweight his personality is during the archon quest... #at this point i'm just questioning myself if we're even playing the same game #wrio 'i believe in restorative justice rather than punishment' the slay #wrio 'there's a prophecy about a flood dooming the entire country so i'm taking matters into my own hands and building noah's ark to save #my people' the slay #wrio 'i have no reason to trust you but i will still offer you a cup of tea' the slay and people still try to pain him in an obscure light #he's not even that morally grey 😭 he's morally gray in the sense everyone is #wanting to stop people who hurt others isn't controversial or shouldn't be #also because we KNOW that's his last resource #his job is literally to give people a second chance the same way he took his except he actually wants to make life easier for others #than it was for him and people are so vocal about how grateful they are of him like??? #he's such a good guy genuinely #and just because he's intelligent and usually composed doesn't mean he isn't emotional sensitive or even prone to being put in situations #where's he's forced to react a certain way because that's just human nature #he's literally just a silly guy with trauma and big responsabilities set him free from the shackles of mischaracterization please 😂 #not that i'm better i'm a fool i may just be talking shit really #but seeing people act like the murder is somehow badly written or that he is dark and dangerous make me go ??? #having the ability to do something doesn't define you as a person and i feel like judgement without context makes no sense #but maybe that's just me

[clits-and-clips]

The one person I wanna talk to is clearly not interested in replying and its killing my moooooodddd

#txt #fml man #im doing so much better but i just #want to talk to him so badly all the time #wanna hang out #and when he doesnt reply like this it makes it all flood back like how suddenly it all ended etc #then i get paranoid like maybe hes just talking to someone else #idk man #i hate my brain #and his friends fuck im so mad about that haha #cant wait to fuck them all off tbh #been a month as i said before #and still no word #they dont give a fuck #why do i waste my energy on the wrong people always #gotta focus on ME #which i am but i want to hang out with him #ommmgggg #ill shut up #or try haha

Right. Okay.

…I think what irritates me about the Endless Siblings?

Delirium Can Do No Wrong Because She Baby (which is true. We dunno what shit happened to her that forced her to shift from Delight to Delirium, but we know it was BAD) even when she torments mortals for her Games (just less maliciously than Desire and Despair; it’s debatable if she’s fully Aware of the consequence of what she’s doing), even when Delirium’s (understandable!) demand to have Destruction back actively kills people!

Or Destruction—who LEFT and almost demands the others to leave as well despite Not All Of Them CAN Leave (and to be frank? Him abandoning his post despite having Creation as his counter-domain is probably why, say, warfare became SO destructive SO rapidly followed by a technological boom)—and literally planted what might as well have been BOMBS in his closest friends if any of his siblings tried to find him.

Or Desire—who fucks around and NEVER has to find out. Who actively targets Dream and blames Dream for their bad relationship with their older brother…and never takes any accountability for their own part in it and continued active antagonism and actively trying to DESTROY Dream either by spilling family blood and igniting the Kindly Ones’ Wrath and using Dream’s Own Function against him…or by risking Dream shifting into something Not Dream Any Longer. (And the absolute Irony of Desire being the one (1) sibling to EVER help, then gets pissed off and antagonizes further. Gee, Desire. I wonder why Dream doesn’t ask and if he asks you he asks you last!)

Or Despair. Who plays games beyond her function, and this aspect of Despair seemingly ignoring her counter-function of Hope, and is a co-conspirator albeit passive co-conspirator in Desire’s torment of Dream in much the same way as a pair of school-aged Mean Girls

Or Destiny. Who so rarely shows that he cares, uses his Book as a Defense Mechanism Excuse in a similar way as Dream does his Pride (and being prickly by-nature but most of his standoffish-ness is honestly a defense against Holding ALL Of Subconscious + His Family’s A Bunch Of Assholes (Too)). And if he does anything “outside his Book” or “finally acts within the Book” …he denies it’s because he cares. It’s to berate for showing up in jeans or someone else leaving their stuff in his room (even when someone else left it)

Or Death. Who had her own Edgelord Phase that lasted for eons before her younger siblings even existed. Who never once actually came to help yet berates Dream for not asking her when he wound up in Serious Trouble…again. (And not by his own fault, unless you want to count fixing a past mistake seriously draining him to the point he could he snared by Desire’s (and Despair’s but mostly Desire’s) Trap.)

…They’re ALL Assholes, Jared!

But only ONE of them is held to a standard none of the rest of them even bother to live to and gets actively punished for it at every turn, even when he tries to reach out, do better. (And yes, Morpheus!Dream has some serious fuckups. But. So do the rest of them. And he’s kinda the only one held accountable for them + some things that really aren’t his fault or are actively traumatic and he doesn’t really have a way to safely recover from without, y’know, affecting the Dreaming and all the dreamers! And it’s not for a lack of trying or continuing to try, despite his natural stubbornness, prickliness, introversion, and avoidance!)

#sandman spoilers #endless siblings #tiger’s roar #…possibly morpheus!dream apologica but fuck it #I was reflecting on WHY I’m so defensive of Dream and. well. #it’s kinda because of how my own family and school environment treated me #for being ‘an angry child’ or ‘back talking’ when. it was always defensive. I never started it. ever. #and. like Dream. what made the difference? people Actively Showing that they loved me and cared #that despite ‘not handling things as well as I should’ I still didn’t deserve THAT #and learning that having Bad Days with my mental health where everything ‘sets me off’ doesn’t make me a bad person #as long as I didn’t. y’know. take it out on anyone #I may be responsible for my own self #but others are responsible for not deliberately trying to hurt me or my trust or my boundaries #I Am Not Responsible for them choosing to hurt or disregard me! #…honestly I wish I could just take morpheus!dream #give him a hug (if he’d allow it). reassure him that being grouchy or depressed etc isn’t a bad thing. it just Is #let him Finally grieve and cry and rage in a place that WON’T flood or raze or affect everyone’s dreams #encourage him that it’s okay to grow and do better #(and fuck anyone who takes advantage of that and his sensitivity) #just. the guy needs therapy!! allowed to feel things without Instant Subconcious And Literal Consoquences!! #think there’s a term in family therapy for Dream: diagnosed problem. #(if I’m remembering Jono’s Terms in CinemaTherapy/MendedLight correctly) #and well. Even When! the Diagnosed Problem is ‘doing better’ things are STILL Fucked Up #because guess what! they weren’t the (only) problem at all!! #and well. him feeling things So Deeply and He DOES Care Actually (but clamping things down into a ‘resting bitch face’)? #WHAT A FUCKING MOOD.

you totally skirted my question about your followers flooding others inboxes. u are straight up not going to acknowledge that? and yes some people have more followers than you but that doesn't mean it's ok that ur anon stans are intentionally seeking out ppl

I have anon stans flooding inboxes...? Ok I'd like to see the numbers/messages from that, but since I know I won't get them, here's some acknowledgement:

All of my followers, don't go to anyone's inbox, like Okruee's specifically or anyone else that has been mentioned on my blog, and send any death threats or mean or insulting comments/asks. I don't want to see any name-calling in anyone's replies or public asks either. That's totally unacceptable and unnecessary. If it's for the sake of defending me, then don't. I'm an adult and I can handle myself. If you have a parasocial relationship with me, break it off. We're not real life friends, I'm not royalty, I'm just a person on tumblr no better than anyone else here. Treating me like I'm something I'm not is embarrassing and a waste of time for you and everyone else involved.

That wasn't so hard to do, was it?

#asks #anonymous #ceci speaks #going to bed but this popped up and thought it important to answer #just in case anyone had any thoughts of being a shit while i was asleep #yall can flood peoples inboxes but not give me notes huh #i see how it is #gif warning

It’s kinda odd to see ppl defend Legendary Disaster’s lion swap in 2022.  I get that there were interesting meta reasons behind it but like, we do all remember that “let’s have the paladins match their lions and then switch them all up to match their original 80s placements for the nostalgic appeal” was arguably the genesis for all the worst choices in VLD’s narrative and visual design, right

#Kumari comments #Kumari abuses the tagging system #No shade to people who liked the homage I just think it was an awkward decision that spiraled out into some disastrous storytelling #I guess having an in-universe explanation for the mismatched colors was a cute idea in theory but man did it not work in practice #From a purely aesthetic standpoint it was just plain Bad #and if it'd been planned out properly all the lion cockpits wouldn't have been flooded with a single color #Lance and Keith looked terribly out of place in Red and Black and there's really no getting around that #and all the post-swap discourse basically amounted to 'but when are they gonna swap back tho' bc the expectation to match had been planted #not to mention Everything that went into getting Shiro out of the picture #idk. #sometimes … homages … aren't worth it #If they'd just gone with the original colors/placements from the start and handwaved it as an 'Altean' quirk I could've respected that #it would've felt more like an attempt to respect the sentai tropes from GoLion and less like the producers trying to have it both ways #as-is I just get the impression that they didn't respect the source material /or/ the story they were supposedly trying to tell #It's a lot like the pedantic fuckery in those live-action makes of Disney animated classics ya know? #like 'we want to shamelessly capitalize on your nostalgia but we also need a Logical Reason for xyz fairytale trope' #but perhaps a smidge more earnest bc Voltron isn't/wasn't a huge cash cow on the level of a Disney film #idk. if we're entering a 'VLD was okay actually' era of discourse can someone give me a heads up so I can go scream into a pillow for while? #bc that's not something I wanna be around for

what a wonderful time to be alive. there’s new pedro content and twitter is in a trending debate over whether cary grant could ever be replaced (its skewing towards the fact that he could not, with some very lovely dragging of modern stars such as george clooney and poor don draper himself, jon hamm). this is an ideal day for me

#misc. #that cary thing is so important to me bc i badly needed someone to point out george clooney isn't cary grant bc everyone was saying it #and it drives me insane #he may LOOK like he did when he was older but he gives more clark gable than cary grant #also that pedro content has flooded all of my timelines and i'm very happy abt it #i love seeing people love him
