#they arent that much of a big deal

[killjoygem]

I fully believe the thirteenth doctor didn't need a Christmas special and there's nothing wrong with an attempt to move away from cultural Christianity, but I sort of wish she'd had one, if only to give people one less thing to complain about

#13th doctor #christmas specials usually arent really /about/ christmas #so its not a big deal imo to do new year instead #i wouldve enjoyed a christmas special just as much as the new year specials #doctor who

I've read a few fics where Something Happens (Tim accidentally kills someone) and Tim calls one of his older brothers and they come and help him cover up/hide a body but like,, if Damian killed someone (accidentally or otherwise) Tim would not even hesitate that body is already melting in acid. He has crime scene cleaners on retainer and enough blackmail that they'll never say anything.

Tim has like 7 contingency plans for this Exact problem and he is going to do his big brotherly duty of helping his younger sibling cover up a mistake/laps of judgement.

And Damian is waiting for the other shoe to drop bc this is the perfect time for Timothy to oust him. He broke father's rule and now he'll be sent back

But Tim continues to say nothing and eventually even corners Damian and is like "bestie you gotta c h i l l they know somethings up I can't keep using puberty as an excuse for you" and Damian is like "why wouldn't you use this opportunity to prove you're the better son. To finally get me out of the house and claim your place is the heir" and Tim is like "uh im your older brother this is my job" and Damian is like "it is an older brother's job to help hide their younger sibling's murders??" And Tim is like "yeah absolutely except don't go to Dick or Jason only go to me or maybe Cass if I'm not around I think Dick would have a conniption and we don't want Jason to relapse"

#ted talks #batfam #Tim's idolized version of an older brother is someone who helps you with everything #and takes the fall for you and covers for you from your parents and that's all he wanted growing up #The stress of lying to their father and having to deal with a dead body would be too much for Dick #He could do it but he'd get some early grey hairs for his troubles #the man is stressed enough as is #tim drake #damian wayne #batman #via quadrant advisor: #if any of the other siblings found out they really would be like “you hid a dead body?????? without ME?????????” #Like especially Dick #everybody's like “DONT TELL DICK ABOUT THIS” (because the fact that we arent telling bruce goes unsaid) #and then Dick is like “👉👈 you dont trust me? Your big brother? 🥺 idk why everyone thinks I'm a narc” #quadrantadvisor

the thing with Alex is that he's not stupid. He's generally a very smart guy. He just has a learning disability and doesnt do well in academic studies, which given how people make assumptions based on schooling:tm: often leaves for heavy judgment. Combined with a heavy accent and his gruff exterior people often tend to make wrong assumptions about Alex, and some stuff is unfortunatly internalized.

But in the right context and the right situations, Alex has his own strengths (and not just physical ones lol)

#i mean all my love and support for folks who arent smart either <3 #this is just the 'dont equate school smarts for all smarts type deal' yknow #a big thing is that *Fires* doesnt underestimate Alex's capabilities - it knows perfectly well his own form of planning #that being said its Not Smart when Alex has tried to physically fight beings much more powerful then him XD impuslive #oc talk #oc: alex

if ppl telling you "jewish ppl in israel were already kicked out of other countries and have no where else to go" makes you feel compelled to call whoever said that a "zionist", I really just dont think you give af about jewish ppl's lives quite frankly.

if your "free palestine" means "getting rid" of all jewish civilians in israel I think you're probably just a heartless asshole.

#two state solution ftw #or at least something along those lines #yelling at average jewish ppl who ARENT in israel is antisemitic #anti semitism- no matter how 'big of a deal' you think it is naturally makes jewish ppl feel unsafe by default #where do they go when theres nowhere else thats safe? you guessed it- probably to israel. #which is WHAT netanyahu wants. he wants scared controllable civilians to think hes the only one who can protect them #so you being anti semitic and not checking yourself on it or being 'whatever its nbd' about it is making everything so much worse #STOP BEING SO FUCKING APATHETIC FUCK ILL BEAT YOU UP TO MAKE YOU FEEL SOMETHING IF I HAVE TO #i dont feel like i can in good conscious reblog your 'free palestine' posts bc idk wtf the op thinks about jewish ppl being in #israel. and at this point i dont have faith in leftists to not notice the antisemitism in some of these ppl and call it out #its not something we can 'push aside and deal with and apologize for later' its ACTIVELY MAKING THE SITUATION WORSE AND NEEDS #TO BE ADDRESSED RIGHT THE FUCK NOW #maybe jewish ppl wouldnt be calling it 'self defense' if yall didnt keep being antisemitic and making them feel like they have to cling #to israel to stay tf alive. fuck. #OBVIOUSLY the response to what hamas did is disproportionate and affecting more people than israel says it intends to target #but thats the govt. and actual regular people are worried about their families. its disproportionate and probably being used as an excuse #to genocide palestinians but this wouldnt be happening if hamas didnt basically GIVE the israeli govt the excuse to do it. #free palestine. from hamas and from the israeli govt. and dont have genocidal intent toward jewish ppl. #thats all i want. #hamas' escalation did nothing but hurt everyone and make things worse especially for palestinians.

"sonic dream team could be one of the best sonic games in years ! the gameplay is so cool and fun especially with the multiple playable characters and it feels like playing one of the early 2000s games ! " Ok cool dont make it completely inaccessible to half the fanbase then 👍

#buttttt some people also said all the ''best sonic game ever'' stuff about sonic superstars and i dont agree with that at all #so maybe its just more exaggerating and the game will just be ok not bad but nothing special either and i wont be missing much #but . based on what im actually seeing it looks cute and fun and i want to play it </3 #this whole thing SUCKSSSS its not fairrr #LIKE i know its just a mobile game and sonic mobile games usually arent that big a deal #but this one seems like they put more effort into it and could be the most high quality sonic mobile game ever #and its not only locked to apple devices but also locked behind a subscription service. SAD !

cons of hyperfixating SPECIFICALLY on an oc: eventually you will be the only person who does not have fatigue from seeing this guy over and over again

#my stuff #i am aware. #like with rw or fr or something even if some people got tired of me posting it there are more fans than i can count so its not really #a big deal #but uh. well. my characters do not have a fanbase lol #and thats fine! it just means i have to accept that sometimes im going to be drawing things a lot and people probably wont #have anything new to say about it. and thats okay :) #if theres anything that getting less than 10 notes on my average original art post for the past 5 years has taught me. #its that i should just draw and post whatever makes me happy. because no matter how good or cool you think your characters/art may be #if you arent consistently active or if you just arent lucky or good at 'selling' your blog you simply wont get very much interaction on her #and thats part of why i want to follow more small art blogs!!! i want to be someones interaction!

comic planning/roughs on the clock at work 👍 ok. this one's still a few posts out though

#god i really do just need to get a tablet or. something #some way to draw digitally on the go bc my laptop is um #at least 200% less portable than your typical old clunky laptop. its a whole ordeal #and as u can see tradish scribbles are barely usable #though i guess it would help if i ever remembered to grab something besides a shite pen at work lmao <-hates pen forever #mad bc i think this one is kind of mid+redundant for what i'd intended it to do bc of how some of the previous ones shifted #but i still gotta draw it bc one of the later ones uses it. buh #when i said these werent chronological or connected btw i lied #though only VERY VERY LOOSELY so. enough to bother *me* if i don't do them in order #but not enough that's really going to be noticeable to anyone else. they're each still intended 99% as standalone. #the arc is very minor but its there. for me. for anyone else it probably just amounts to a couple easter egg references/ consistencies #by the by the pizzaposts before this arent part of the series. #one small quickie thing and one i would...really like to get done sooner rather than later bc i need it out of my system #former's like 70% sketched im just waffling on execution #latter is uh...theres a lot there but it's harder to work on And harder tell how close to done it is. #unrelated its funny how i Always forget brick until i start putting anything down and then its like oh god yeah i can do bg Jokes with him #funny in the sense that one of my webcomic protag oc's is a...spatially similar deal as him [little kid with a big bear companion] #and i ALWAYS forget the bear when im scripting it. until i start messing with the layout and its like fuck theres a bear. #i have to do things with this now. fortunately thus far it hasn't been too hard to adapt #much rambling tonight goodbye. i haev to go block all these damn bots

idk maybe talking about my writing seems conceited for who hasn't published much of anything and hasn't finished anything as of yet, or maybe all this hand wringing is annoying, but i've written a lot of bits and pieces over the years and it's enough for me to be reasonably comfortable with the basics, you know? but working on something this long is presenting a whole other world of trouble for me and i think i accidentally put a hell of a lot more of myself into it than i meant to. so i'm feeling particularly vulnerable about it being out there and existing. it means a lot to me and that's scary!

#i know i wasn't anywhere near as annoying about publishing light headeds first chapter #obviously i cared about it and i was excited to publish something for the first time in this fandom (wow! i did it!) but its not a big deal #there are no major unknowns with it as a project. i will continue it just couldn't make up my mind about one specific thing #so now the rest of the chapters are on hold while i focus on i&i for a while #i could probably polish up and publish more of my drabbles but its mostly pretty dumb and generic aus that arent saying much of anything #maybe thats being pretentious but i want to say something with my work and like. if it's not meeting my own standards i'm not putting it ou #sorry for all the rambling. i needed to work through some stuff and talking helps #i've always had a contentious relationship with my work which is why you don't see much of it. because it's not good enough #this project is my main creative outlet right now because carpal tunnel and my work schedule have fucked up everything else for me #and like. to be honest i kind of want to destroy it. because it means something to me and it's hard and that's scary #it didn't have someone else's work attached i probably would have deleted it by now #that's a weird place to be with a creative project #anyway if you want to read my dumb bro/grandpa superhero au that started out a gag and quickly devolved into tragedy then let me know ig

marvel should hire me to write bc i'd pull the funniest thing on earth where i am wiping his catholic slate CLEAN and i would explcitily have him go ehhhh i've never really been religious me and my dad went some easters and christmases and attended a few services outside of that but that stopped by the time i was around 10 and my dad just kinda gave up on it because he didn't particularly want to go by that point either. and even then we hadn't gone every year for easter and christmas in that time frame. and then we never bring that shit up again in the story. he is only catholic in the sense he went a few times and it's the only church experience he knew and his dad probably grew up going to church more in his youth being dragged in by his family but he never felt particularly compelled to go back to it once he moved out on his own. catholic only in the fact that his family was irish catholic but his dad is a lapsed catholic who did not give a fuuuuuck

#based off my own father's filipino catholic experiences. and my own religious experiences in general. bc my mom's protestant but still didnt #raise me religiously. i've been to church a handful of times and it was never bad but it never ever stuck. i just kinda remember some stuff #and what i do know it's more from the general cultural osmosis of american christianity than anything #plus i grew up in a known for its religiosity suburb. but again. that still didnt really rub off on me. #in my mind jack is a guy who when entering a church will still dip his fingers in the holy water and cross with it #and matt watches and maybe mimics but he doesnt really get it still bc their service attendance has been so extremely infrequent. #so i imagine it's far more like that for matt than the insane bs they've been pullin the last few years. given the you know. #50 somethings years of established only really culturally casually catholic matt. bc well. why wouldnt he be new york irish catholic. #i imagine is the thought process. but i will never be a fan of how it's a big deal now. bc it just never has been. ever #and that's not to say a character cannot become religious or be religious or have it become more of a thing in their life! #very much it can be done. but i think it's been done piss poor. from all i've seen and what i've read of recent stuff. so it's just bad. #like it isnt done in a meaningfully way or sensical to my understanding. it's like. pure show pandering fanon appeal. #so it's utterly meaningless as a whole with no point or purpose aside from it #can we go back to just using it for cool art visuals bc i think we can all appreciate a cool splash page of a church fight and stuff #but please. dont try to make it more than that if you arent going to do it well #SORRY I KNOW EVERYONE ON PLANET DD HAS MADE THIS POST BUT I REMEMBER AND GET SOOOOO IRRITATED!!!!! IT'S SO STUPID POINTLESS DUMB I HATE ITT #static.soundz

My favorite thing of this whole new Star Wars phase and hiperfixation is that I'm now The Star Wars friend, which means every single friend sends me SW stuff and memes; even though some of these are spoilers (if you don't know what I mean, see my earlier post )

I don't stop them because I don't want them to stop sending me Star War stuff... but omg the spoilers, so I was right about Palpatine being the big evil bad guy; I hate his guts

#rambling #star wars #fortunately most of the spoilers in these memes arent a big deal #like things i don't know but wont affect much my ignorant SW experience

It’s difficult to not feel discouraged sometimes when your partner is also an artist and happens to be faster than you in every conceivable way

This doesn’t bother me often because everyone is different and comparing production time and skill against each other or anyone is detrimental mostly and its ok to have your own workflow

but it does weigh on me vaguely sometimes sometimes that she can finish 2-3 full coloured pieces within a week and ive been painfully scratching out the same number but theyre only sketches that ill never revisit within a month

None of this actually matters in the long run, it just makes me feel bad on occasion

#like i should be doing more #im very sorry for complaining so much online #i just dont really have any other way to express myself #i know some of you have generously and kindly reached out to me to offer an ear #but my fatal flaw is i cant talk to anyone about my problems i just idk it was beaten into me that none of it matter #matters or my problems arent a big deal and i know ots healthy to think actuallt my problems are worth talking about or a big deal #but its hard to change a behaviour that was kinda literally beaten jnto you that talking about stuff likw this is a waste of time #i guess i just feel bad that i could do more and i dont because i dont want to #but i also want to if that makes any sense at all #i suppose it also doesnt help that alot of the work im doing right now i actually sorta hate like none of it is good to me personally #i want to stop being toxic towards myself #i just wanna stop hating me and who i am and what i do every step of the way #but that mean little voice inside me is like ahh. it wont shut up #I always say i need a break or more time but what am i gonna do with it #doing nothing at all isnt fulfilling #it sounds. sad like what teenager me did and i dont want to be or feel like that ever again but its fuckjng hard #this is so woe is me #im a liar bc i say the main text doesnt bother me but it bothers me alot im very envious of her speed prolificness and drive to create #and i have none like thats so unfair #this makes me sound ultra bitter god fucking damn it #i want to go to sleep and genuinely never fucking wake up again #please im done i just dont want to

So so so so so normal about the Tams fire siblings like your inner child is something you are missing so bad you wish it'd hurt/you only remember that kid when you are cornered and desperate and tired and hurt, and it's like you're trying to be together in this you want to you are even, but how are you supposed to reconcile with that? Hoe can you despite all you did, all you've been through, you're still so fundamentally far away. Would it be better if you weren't?

LITERALLY like to some extent zuko and azula are still those children that are so fundamentally pitted against each other like even through all this new love and fondness and allegiance they are still being opposed by their father's hatred and what it did to them and despite all the hardship and danger that made them tough and formidable they're still just kids

#like azula's spiel about how she knows her and zuko make good allies now bc of how competent they are on top of their symbolism #but she's literally fourteen. like what. canon azula is so personified by her cutting efficiency as a weapon of war #and tams azula is so desperate to mimic that bc she remembers that made her feel useful #and she feels so useless so often now bc there are things zuko doesnt let her into and some things she has no choice but to let him handle #like a lot of tams is zuko stepping up as the eldest bc there's no other alternative and he's happy to do it but azula hates that he has to #so she wants to be useful again and end their suffering like she's coming from a SELFLESS POV SHE JUST WANTS A HAPPY GENTLE LIFE FOR THEM #THE CLOSEST TO HAPPINESS SHE FELT WAS FUJISHI WHERE SHE WAS A HERBALIST AND WOKE UP SLOWLY AND DRANK TEA!!! #but then we have zuko and his child self is a terrified weak thing and his life is so so out of his control #that he grasps the things he can control with both hands and azula taking that from him #when he has sacrificed EVERYTHING to give her this life? her turning around and saying it's not enough? she wants to fight? #it's a betrayal and he can't believe she'd ask this of him and she has no idea why it's such a big deal #bc things like sitting with the gaang for lunch ARENT A BIG DEAL like objectively it's trivial #but zuko has so little control and has so much pressure on himself to be in charge and keep them safe #that not just losing the small amount of control he does have but losing it to AZULA his sister who's supposed to love him #is so so painful #like they're both trying to help each other but the way they're doing it is hurting the other and im screaming into my hands #ask #tams asks

OBSESSED HONESTLY

#i forgot to post this yesterday but IN LOVE TBH #can you tell much like spotify i really only used it around the beginning of the year #and then only a couple of albums and songs here and there after that #but honestly i used youtube music specifically last night and it kinda slayed #like its good for what it is if that makes sense #im so upset that a wrapped wasnt sent out to my school account #(im guessing due to it being a school account and like administration restricting stuff and whatever) #but like literally the only thing i do on it is listen to music #BUT WHATEVER #they recognize that im a tribute to drama love amped up tempos and JUN and that what matters #but yeah if youtube music stays how it is now (or ya know just doesnt change what i like about it) i think ill try and use it more next yea #:3 #sstartalkss #addition: something that im noticing is that performances arent counted as that artist but as the channel it was posted on which is honestl #heartbreaking because performances are probably how i tend to listen to music the most (if im not putting it on only as background noise) #but its not that big of a deal #i mean biggest plus about youtube music is that it actually has video game osts and songs that dont get put on other streaming services #so slay ya know

ik there's a lot of debate about how palia is mixing heavy lore into what's supposed to be a relaxing, coxy life sim but also like,,, i feel like the way they're doing it now is literally fine?

the lore is definitely part of the world and the quests, but there's literally no in game timer or consequences. nothing bad happens if a player doesn't want to complete the temple bundles or skips lore dialogue or puts certain quests on the back burner (and you can choose to not see certain quests on the main ui so there's no stress there either). like,, i get that the lore Is heavy and that some people don't want that in their cute farming sim but again, there's literally nothing forcing players to interact with or care about it. i genuinely do not see the issue??

#like?? im not trying to be mean #if anyone has insight on this and could explain Why its such a big deal thatd be nice! #but i really just dont get it? #like who cares if the cozy life sim game has a dark lore when you arent forced to care about it at all #completing the temples literally just gives you some resources and rewards #there's zero consequences for not finishing the lore quests or the temples #and like maybe im wrong but i seriously doubt the devs are going to add monster fighting mechanics in the future #like Maybe but i really doubt it #and even if they do its probably just going to be like hunting? #idk man like i keep seeing discourse about the lore being too much for the game and its like.. #you dont have to care? youre not forced to interact with it? there is zero consequence if all you do is farm and fish? #so whyyy are people upset or worried about the future state of the game?? #if they meant it to be an intense gory action fighting horror game then it wouldve been like that from the start #like im sorry but theyre not going to add something like that to a game theyve always marketed as a cozy life sim/mmo 😭 #if theres a high demand for it maybe theyll make a second game or create content like a fucking webtoon aldhg #but theyre most likely not going to introduce it to the core game #like i feel like this fear is really unfounded? the devs havent said anything about changing the tone of the game? #theyve always stated that no matter what happens with the lore they want the game to be a safe and comforting space for players #so Why would they add gore or horror or force players to interact with the lore #what!!

You'd think by now that I'd always remember that this whole thing with Charlie is so strong and important to me because every assumption I have about him is true and every quality i love in an f/o is right there in him and yet. Yet. I remember every once in awhile and am floored by love once again 😭❤

#i guess i just always assume that so much of what i love about him is headcanon which. it wouldnt make us invalid if it was #but thats not even TRUE dude. i know him and im right #when will i realize that charlie is who i make him out to be ajfklds #i guess im just used to taking liberties with my f/o's #but no liberties need to be taken here!! he is just good!! he is just great!! #every single little sweet moment i imagine with him is not only likely but REAL ajfdskl #ren speaks #renlie #also of course those arent the only reasons hes important to me ajfklds #but in the meta sense. they are a big deal safjdksl
