#this one isn’t vague at all so

[theminecraftbee]

It’s late. Scar is already asleep, and distantly, Jimmy imagines he can hear that cat Tango found for him meowing to him. Elsewhere, Fwhip is—doing nothing Jimmy cares about, thank you—and the sky is clear tonight, so he supposes Joel must be content. Grian had gone to make base with more of the strangers and strangely familiar, and Jimmy is here to hang up his hat and go to bed.

When he turns around, there’s a small yellow bird perched on his hatstand.

“Oh, you—go away,” Jimmy says, irritated.

The bird doesn’t speak, but Jimmy hears what it’s trying to say: if they’re here, that means it was real. If Jimmy knows them, and they know Jimmy, that means it was real. If it was real, that means everything else is too.

Jimmy crosses the room to stick his hat on his other pillow instead of the hatstand. With a surprisingly lovely song, the yellow bird flies off the hatstand and lands on the hat.

“Shoo,” Jimmy says. “Even if it were all real. Even if he’s here, and Tango’s as good as all those memories say, and—you don’t gotta stick around me, you know. Shoo. Besides, this all still has time to be a stupid dream.”

The bird sings sadly.

“Ugh,” Jimmy says, flopping in bed. “Even if it is all real, it’s not time yet anyway.”

The bird hops over to where Jimmy is flopped in bed and rests its head against Jimmy’s cheek. Outside, there’s a ranch he’s building for someone he met in a dream, and there are poppies in a vase downstairs, and Grian said that Jimmy couldn’t escape him, and Jimmy’s not sure that Grian knows what he meant when he said it.

The bird chirps sadly again.

“…it’s not your fault anyhow. I shouldn’t yell,” Jimmy says. “It’s hardly your fault everyone else—well.”

The bird chirps one last time before flying out the window. In Jimmy’s head, it’s gone to find Tango, or maybe Scott. Jimmy watches it.

“If I’m going to have to check the water tower for cod, I’m not taking it to Joel,” he says, as though there’s any logic to that whatsoever. “Do you know how much fun I’ll get made of for doing that? Nu-uh, no way.”

He blows out the candle. The room is dark. He goes to sleep, and he dreams of past lives. They aren’t so bad as all that, but he’d prefer they stay there, if it’s all the same anyway.

#a bee fic #jimmy solidarity #empires smp #is now a good time for my headcanon of ‘Jimmy vaguely remembers his past lives but considers them to have happened to a different person’ #it’s like two am and I haven’t watched much jimmy in a bit so this is probably. ehh. had to get it out anyway #anyway the bird isn’t actually an omen #after all canaries aren’t omens of anything until someone kills them #the bird’s more just. one last visitor from the rift shall we say

Behold, my latest and most enamouring new obsession:

Malina, Lady of the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. As if Red Lotus child OCs weren’t niche enough

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #lok malina #still feel like that’s too vague of a tag but I can’t come up with anything better for now #and yeah. she has completely stolen by heart and I don’t know how to feel about that #don’t think I ever was this attracted to my own art before #to be fair the design isn’t mine. it’s very heavily based on something nina drew back in 2021 #because I did not have the energy or creativity to come up with my own thing #but the art is all mine and I genuinely adore it. super proud of myself which is a rare occurrence #anyways. kat and I spent three days digging this niche lower and lower and now have a he #*hell of a lot of lore about this basically nonexistent character #for lore about a lady from the North Pole a lot of it is rather hot… to the point my cheeks are burning non stop #I would say I’d let her do anything she wants to me but in my very specific aroace-adjacent case it’s more like #I’d let her tell me to do anything she wants to her #if that makes any sense and I have not completely lost my goddamn mind yet #okay. enough yapping. back to the art itself #lazy background because I suck at those and am not currently attempting to learn them. I’ll probably do that over the summer #about time anyway. my characters have been placed against an off-white background for far. far too long #this is the first piece in just over a year that isn’t tagged with sotrl. which is kinda weird tbh #I’ve been drawing my OCs almost exclusively for nearly 5 years so it is genuinely surprise I’m branching out #*surprising #less branching out and more diving from one hole into another but y’know #anyway. in my personal and very correct opinion she turned out absolutely gorgeous #her servants are way too lucky and unalaq is way too much of an idiot. no offence to vaatu but he could never beat out this #and I also have Kat’s personal and very correct opinion to back up my own. two against the void. once again we’re winning #I wanna draw her a lot more bc she has completely possessed my brain. I just wish character interactions were easier to draw 😭 #I’ll figure it out. just need to fight my visualisation issues for a proper idea. brb #okay I’m almost at the tag limit so. in summary: #she 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

idk about anyone else but for me /personally/ assigning any of the wof dragon tribes a single equivalent human culture or accent feels kind of weird or off. Unless you’re like. Specifically from that culture and know what you’re interpreting

like sure the ‘nightwings are British because they’re voiced that way in the audiobooks’ is funny at first but I once saw a post break down the accents by tribe and assign sandwings a Nigerian accent. Which IMMEDIATELY makes the fact that they’re commonly rogues and thieves in the story not a fun cowboy thing but a vaguely racist thing suggesting that all Nigerian people scam and steal, which. Given the ‘Nigerian prince’ thing is already a stereotype, well…-

and it definitely isn’t JUST that, I’m not trying to call a single person out. But these kind of 1-1 correlations lead to results like this 9/10 times and it just feels strange. Just mix stuff together. Mash ideas from different places into one. Don’t make the dragons a 1-1 parallel to a specific human culture because then any story you tell that may connect to a stereotype of that culture will come off really, really bad

#Instead of they have ___ accent #Say. Well their accent is closest to like this one with a hint of this one. And it varies throughout the regions of the kingdom #Because that is not saying something about a specific ‘kind’ of person. It’s just taking your favorite ideas and playing with them #This is specifically why everything in righteous pines has like 2 religions and then random other cultural factors thrown in #+ the source material and stuff I just made up for me that isn’t from ANY culture #Because I am NOT gonna get caught stereotyping a specific group and be seen as spreading hate #wings of fire #also I don’t mean like. If you’re specifically from a culture and paying informed homage to your heritage #I mean just. Like. White teenagers picking random races based on general regions for the tribes #Like I probably would’ve done when I was 12-14. Like a fool #anyway this isn’t really an angry post at all it’s just kind of a vague opinion #I’m not genuinely mad at anyone who does this I’m just like. Wary for them. Like #Look out girl you’re gonna get cancelled you need to be more CAREFUL #Because I’m 90% sure most people don’t MEAN it to be racist. It’s just. Internalized ideas or general assumptions or something. Uninformed. #But you cannot be uninformed or you will get got. Inform yourselves folks!!! Play safe!! With many mixed ideas! #lion’s lair #invalid white persons opinion by the way. I’m downright vampiric so you can entirely disregard this post if that affects its meaning #My icks literally do not matter in this situation. I know that. I’m just ATTEMPTING to read the room #And not hurt anybody #👍?

i’ve watched this like 2 and a half times now, just in a row, because i couldn’t decide how i felt about it. at first i thought it was boring & had nothing going on, but it also… does have stuff going on? i finally figured it out, & i think the choreo style is very appropriate for ilia, and the music is appropriate with the choreo style, but it’s not what i would want to see out of a succession program… i think it’s an interpretation of the music, but not the interpretation i’d be drawn to. i think it feels empty to me, even though it’s not, because i’m not seeing what i want to see. all the straight arms & stuff, it’s a way you could interpret succession & its music, but not the way i would… i think i see the show a little differently from how he does, so this doesn’t feel like a succession program to me, but it is a succession program based on the way he sees the show. of course i’m not a choreographer or anything so i can’t tell you what i WOULD do but i just think i don’t vibe with it. however it IS a very good program. probably would’ve been super fun to have seen in person. shout out ilia

#post tag #meetboston.com ad… yes so true #reminds me. boston worlds is just a year away #next year i’m gonna be one of those people in the crowd. isn’t that crazy #(i always feel guilty about showing up to all these big events but not keeping track enough from home) #(but WHATEVER it’s not like i’m stealing seats from other people or anything. i LOVE going. i just… forget to keep up from home) #(i’ve got other stuff going on. i can’t spend a weekend watching this stuff unless i’m making a whole thing of it) #(i try to keep up vaguely. this is the first program i’ve seen from this weekend but i should try to catch up a bit more) #fs

There is nothing worse than being into a objectively niche series but it still has one part of the franchise thats considered popular at its peak and amongst its dedicated fanbase so it’s the best iteration to probably direct people towards-

Until you remember you’ve experienced most of the franchise and there’s other parts that are objectively better not only in beginner friendliness but also writing but you can’t recommend people it so easily because it’s the part that isn’t talked about enough even if it has its fans.

And the fact this happened to me twice makes me even sadder about it 💀

#meg text #Yes I’m vaguing about getter robo because what the fuck else would I be mentioning #I’m not tagging even if this post probably wouldn’t reach anywhere lol I’m just a awful tumblr user #But this is the feeling I’m being hit with because I have so much New getter brain rot all of a sudden #And most of the people I got Getter into was through arma and now I’m regretting it #I don’t like the getter series debate order because it really doesn’t matter outside of manga #and arma got me fully invested into the series #but damn if new doesn’t feel like it gets enough love and is a great starting place #this is mostly forming out of the fact I’m writing a new fic and none of my buds are reading it 💀 #it’s still getting views so I can’t complain but man #I literally had one irl watch it with me so far and we aren’t even done #Also the second one was mega man but people would argue ZX isn’t a good starting point so

at some point i am going to have to force even to go back and deal with donna & tentoo & rose & all and everything they ran away from. and that will probably involve them losing tentoo’s chameleon arch watch by giving it back to its rightful owner, whether she chooses to open it or not. and that is. not going to be a very fun or stable time for them.

#this part is v vague and fuzzy because i want to watch the rest of 12 & 13 and finish the doctor/donna specials before i set anything in #stone about it. but i think i need to rearrange some things in the timeline here vis a vis when the doctor is also forced to go back and #deal with his baggage. #i dont think 14 exists in even’s universe for this reason. and for the reason of tentoo kind of taking on his role? the human part of the #doctor who can stay with donna & with rose. #she’s also trans to me because i love trans!tentoo. her name is johanna. i think it’s pretty. i make a singular exception to my rule of #never changing characters names when i trans them. #but i think. what im getting at here is that this cant be a happy ending. not so cleanly. its more bittersweet. #like i think this version of the story. what i have so far. donna does remember. (tentoo doesn’t but that’s because she’s become her own #person. the doctor is who she came from but she isn’t just the doctor anymore.) and rose knows her doctor is out there and loves her but #she has her wife at home. #and even. oh even. you can’t hold onto a heart that’s not yours forever. you have to give it back. #this. i think. is a moment of respite and recovery for the doctor. and a really really low point for even. however this works out. #its not perfect but there’s kindness in it. and there’s a home to go back to. if they can bear it. both of them. #but like i said. this is all preliminary based on what i might play around with here. and how watching more of the show changes my ideas. #but i think. whatever revelations come in 13’s arc. i think in even’s universe they have to come after donna. i’ll find a way to make it #work. #but mostly right now the important thing is forcing even to give up the watch because why would i let them have one single comfort object <3 #dw oc

Yeah alright real

#My favorite part about being a system is that I literally don’t remember ever listening to some of the songs in my top songs playlist #Like I do remember listening to suicideboys a lot and that part isn’t surprising in general but apparently my top listening month for them #was in January and like. I flat out do not remember January through April #I remember December and May through now but January through April is gone #At this point I was apparently also listening to a ton of the Prodigy which I would not have even vaguely guessed to be in my top 5 artists #this year ? #I expected my genres to land about how they did and I expected the Voidz in my top 5 and in particular the song Alien Crimelord #Most of my songs aren’t even songs I listened to on repeat because I liked them but songs that skewed my results because I got really #obsessed with a 30 second portion of them and wanted to hear The Sounds over and over for stimming purposes #I used to fix this with private session but I didn’t touch it once this year so now there’s a bunch of random semi unexpected shit in my #playlist. Ah the Spotify #The majority I definitely just listening to over and over though like I cannot deny my love of semi cringy tiktok phonk rap. You guys go #got me there. I am a phonk enjoyer. Moondeity IS in my top 5 artists #listened* #Like I honestly expected I Monster to be in my top 5 and I also expected more songs by Air to be in the wrapped playlist but they weren’t at #all #One of my top 5 genres is gothic rock because I listened to a ton of it this year but there are like no songs from that genre in the wrapped #playlist #I somehow listened to Vivien by Crosses more than Pillars by Sunny Day Real Estate but if memory serves (which it admittedly often does Not) #that sounds Wrong???

So we are one singular support cutscene into Edelgard’s route through Three Houses and holy shit, she’s gonna fuck me up so badly. As much as flirting with Dorothea would be fun and all, Christ the cross, the angst. She’s going right to the top of the ‘unhealthy obsession with traumatized women’ right below Harrowhark Nonagesimus. Does she beat Riza Hawkeye? Remains to be seen

…I may have a problem

#Seriously tho #i need to stop being obsessed with the sad gay ones #the angst is sooooo good tho #BotW Zelda has so many Issues and there’s so much fanfic about all of them #rosemary can be really sweet at times but also ‘I never got to tell her I loved her’ -> ‘heroic’ lives forever in my brain #to say nothing of Vriska #(Oh god am I gonna start a fight with any of y’all by saying I love Vriska? Man I hope not) #(Vriska did everything wrong and it was Excellent to watch) #Literally everything about tlt feels like it’s tailor made for me #Riza Hawkeye isn’t gay but she sure does nearly die in a blood puddle a few times and that’s what counts #Vaguely suicidal and exceedingly competent?

going two layers deep in a fantasy to 1) a world where the bird trading cards from that make some noise prompt are real and then 2) world where they have insect trading cards of the same variety

#N posts stuff #‘i’ll trade you three acorn weevils for your sappho underwing’ type shit #my parents have been pushing me to think about going back to school for a different bachelors or perhaps a masters #i like bugs a lot but i also can never quite tell if i’m ‘smart enough’ or interested in the right things for a entomology degree #always default back to the internal acknowledgement that my interest is a lot more Visual than intellectual #so no degree. but then the thought pattern always leads back into ‘it would be So nice to have a bunch of insect cards that you could sort #and collect and rearrange and all’ such a thing isn’t real i think #but actually it could be if i wanted it to be actually; i do really enjoy drawing/painting insects #only i haven’t done any art in goddamn Months there’s been a gray void in that area of my brain instead #but hey maybe one day i guess ; but first i’d have to finish this painting one of my brothers asked for Months and Months ago oops #you might realize that we lost the thread on getting a second degree entirely. i usually do; it’s hard to feel like it’s worth the effort #and all the alterations to my schedule when my first degree turned out essentially useless lmao. #so that just makes me want to go a layer deeper in the fantasy to a world where i could learn just to learn instead of needing to be #some vague and esoteric notion of ‘employable’. alas.

This is so Sirius Black coded, I’m now choosing to make this a headcanon I have for him.

yoooo are u trying to get me beat up by a certain crowd 💀

(but like also—hard agree. it gives u so much more to play with if u picture him like that. all those things u love in villains except it’s sirius)

#sirius black #by certain crowd i mean sum people who’re so adamant james wasn’t his moral compass lol #the memory of getting vagued lives forever in me 😓😓 #i’m kidding lol #i think it’s utterly fascinating for sirius to only be loyal to *one* person (or family really) #bc it makes him so much more terrifying yum #i envision him as fundamentally good but not caring—a lot about general human populace #(yes he fought in a war for ideological reasons i acknowledge it shush) #but just a—a sirius who’s meh about things until his ppl r involved #and then it’s all fury of a thousand blazinn suns #oh oh also!! the angst tho 👀 #an apathetic sirius who doesn’t really use his capabilities #except say. james gets hurt/killed #and now it’s like—yes he can (and will) burn the world down but for WHAT #bc his james isn’t coming back. cannot do that. and what even is the point #of all his magic and power and everything—if james had to die???? #(it’s a very classic ‘selfish guy gets a wake up call’ trope lbr but so fun #some delicious angst i’d say #pen’s asks

Constantly trapped between I can’t wait to live away from my family and spend more time alone because I feel like my thoughts will have time to settle and I will lose my mind if I live alone because I am starting to lose a sense of self this week simply because two of my friends are away and I don’t speak to anyone much in school.

#noggin time #I also cannot stand the fact that people I know follow me online or people I respect even #because I have a constant nagging feeling I’m completely and utterly embarrassing I see people posting abt things in their life and like #venting or whatever and I could never do that I think bc so many people follow me that I see face to face #I mean I’m doing this right now but tumblr is it’s own beast I have like one person I know irl on here I think #also it’s not like I have no friends I still talk to teachers and other people but it’s my best friend who I meet every morning and my new #friend I made this year who is in all the same free periods as me and also likes talking about tv shows so it’s like two people I talktomost #if this were a therapy session which it now is I would trace back my feeling of pure unfiltered embarrassment at simply being online back to #when I used framecast when I was like 9 and I drew a character inspired by someone’s oc and they vague posted quite civil abt it like please #don’t copy my ocs guys and I cried about it for hours and hours and I’ve never been the same since not to sound dramatic but it’s true #I delete Instagram every 3 days because it starts to make me feel physically unwell and then I re-download it because I miss everyone #I didnr consider i might have some sort of mental issues other than autism until recently because I just convinced myself this isn’t a prope #r issue I should just get over it but at this point it’s violently affecting my moods when I’m not immediately talking to anyone

True, cis people, especially cis women, have very much inserted themselves into conversations around transness where transmasculinity is involved. When it’s trans people it’s always gender conforming, binary, passing trans people (or those for whom that’s the goal), thinking only about other gender conforming, binary, passing trans people, who try to make sweeping statements about how trans men and mascs having access to male privilege.

It’s like they thought outside the cis-centric, binarist boxes for just long enough to realize they’re trans and then shut everything back down, or sometimes even specifically do so to play respectability politics. PLEASE, if you care at all about trans people beyond the ones you can make palatable to the cis, get rid of those boxes in your head for good.

#my post #I’m a little angry that every time I talk about this I have to preface with ‘but cis women are the worst ones’ else people #could take me as saying it’s a problem with trans women #because I’m getting that in some of the tags on reblogs of like… #people being like ‘but remember it’s mostly cis women!!!’ #yeah I do #I was ranting/vaguing about a specific trans woman so fucking sorry I didn’t mention cis women #of course once a post leaves my blog that context isn’t necessarily there #anyway! #basically I guess I’m starting all of my posts now with ‘yes cis women are the worst about this stuff but—‘
