I will be honest I am pausing my studyblr posts to post for palestine. My brother has left this world recently (unrelated to the conflict) and when I try to distract myself from it I find myself in a world where almost everyone with any power is supporting the genocide of my fellow people.

#I understand people may have their thoughts on this #but even if you don’t agree with me #I still invite you to stay and think #and research #and question your sources #the victims are not organized #but you know what is organized? governments. you can only push propaganda if you have power and are organized #none of which the Palestinians have. #so please. please do some research and be firm in your stance whatever it is #don’t just take the stances of others to make yourself feel like a good person #when you don’t even know what it all entails #and just to clarify because we live in an era of nation states #I am not from palestine but they are my people I grew up with a community of palestinians #and as a muslim they are my brothers and sisters #tho if you do the research you’ll find that isra*l also targets palestinian christians #about half of Christian Palestinians were kicked out of Jerusalem by Isr*el

I may be insane

I made THREE s/i concepts since I was having trouble choosing a race, and it actually forced me to go against my knee jerk reaction and I ended up going with something I wouldn't have considered initially!

#jane journals #self insert talk #final answer: half-elf paladin with a sage background!! #i wouldnt have considered ANY of those things really!! but as i was doing research i put together a few things #and this ended up being a rly interesting combo that gave me interesting ideas for a character! #her personality and her disposition too #all my s/is are some part of me #maybe not 100% me but pieces of me i choose to explore or bring into focus (unless theyre power fantasies lol) #im loving this paladin s/i tho shes so cute #her curiosity is insatiable and can turn her a bit macabre at times and she has a bit of a manic edge #she'll kick your ass with one hand and a book in the other ajfjfkg

Greed was ten years old when he ran away for the first time. He got his ass kicked for that stunt, but that didn’t deter him. He’d gotten a taste of freedom, and he wanted more. He tried again when he was thirteen, and fourteen, and twice when he was fifteen. It wasn’t until he was sixteen that it finally stuck. He loaded all his worldly possessions into the back of a friend’s car under the dark of night, and he never looked back. He still wasn’t sure if he’d truly succeeded or if they had just given up on chasing after him. He was thirty-two now, and yet as he stood in his family’s driveway, he couldn’t help but feel like that ten year old again, awaiting the punishment that was sure to come.

Ambessa but with a primal kink—

Gonna do this with royal!reader. I sat on this for a bit cuz I thought I'd have time to write a short or smth but after having the Alcina fic that was basically this, some hcs instead:

This is so up her ally, I can see this happening while you're wearing some flowy lingerie she bought for you, like a long black or white sheer robe. Something that looks dramatic when your run lmao.

Perhaps here it's with the royal reader. I can imagine you're just curious at first, asking her what it feels like to fight another person, to look at them and want to take their life, to pursue them with that killing intent, and what it felt like when she succeeded.

She describes it to you as the feeling being much like a predator to a prey. She lies in bed with you beside her, voice a steady murmur as her fingers brush over your side. "There's a reason why they call it a bloodlust. The line between the desire to kill and to love is a fickle thing. You can love a thing so greatly that when it's in your hands all you want to do is squeeze...until you crush it."

She goes on like that, and it's an intellectual, enlightening conversation...but it also makes you squirm.

The way she muddles the difference between what you know as love, and the carnal, near primal desire of human beings...is frightening to you. Ambessa understands it well...almost suspiciously too well, this seemingly unfiltered and raw kind of love.

In reality, Ambessa very clearly knows what she's doing.

She caught your little squirming easily, along with the confused, glazed eyes you fixed on her. She found your curiosity adorable, but like usual, you needed a little pushing before she could suggest anything. Now with your warm cheeks and heavy breathing...

"Would you like to try it?" You gulped, looking up into your warlord's warm, teasing gaze. "Being hunted down as my little prey? Ah–" Ambessa leaned back, as though thinking.

"But you are a princess, and I wouldn't want to insult–"

"Y-yes!" You quickly spoke, and from Ambessa's smirk...you vaguely realized that might of been a bit of a trap.

Ambessa let's you have a head start. She's not greedy. You both have the entire palace to use as your playground, and she wants to see you truly dishelved, weak, and looking at her like she really will swallow you whole.

Of course, the warlord gets what she wants.

You've never seen Ambessa use her brute strength on you. You've seen her spar, protect you and defend herself. But against you?

You wait just around the corner for her to pass. You think she's gone this way–at least, you heard her do so a moment ago. Suddenly, something flashes from the corner of your eye. Huh? You turn just in time for a hand to slam onto the wall, war torn fingers inches short of your face.

Oh my God.

Your frightful cry is overshadowed by her booming, terrifying laughter. It echoes through the halls, bouncing around your fleeing form as you sprint, desperate to get away. Ambessa walks with quick, yet leisure strides behind you, as if she knows that no matter your efforts she'll catch you soon enough. She calls out to you in a deep, sing song voice.

"Did I scare you, my little princess? Don't worry–I'll do much worse when I have you in my hands."

When she decides to finally catch you, it's in the bathhouse.

The steam makes it hard to see her until it's too late–and suddenly there are thick arms around you, pulling you underwater. When you break the surface you sputter, quickly turning red when you feel Ambessa's bare breasts against your back. Your own attire hides nothing now that it's drenched, and your warlord is particularly happy she got it for you at this moment.

She doesn't say too much, chasing you was fun, but seeing your wide eyes and heaving chest, your soft pleas to spare me like honey dripping over her ears...

She's a bit. Heated.

So it's growls in your ears and snarled out commands, pinning your arms to the edge of the bath to fuck you senseless. She's rougher than usual, hands pressing hard enough to leave light bruises and bites all over your skin. You feel a bit like a ragdoll under her touch, tossed into position after position until your full of tears and begging for her to be satisfied, because God fucking damnit–at this rate, she might kill you.

So. In conclusion, that day you find out how very intertwined regular lust...and bloodlust is for your precious warlord :)

Release day: I'm not going to make a Reverse 1999 self insert. I'm not. I won't do it.

One week later: I seriously won't do it. No OCs either. It's not like I have any ideas to work with.

One month later: What would I even theme myself as, a millennial zeitgeist? I'm mostly interested in modern aesthetics, but the whole point of the game is that time wasn't able to progress to the twenty first century. I can't think of any past historical eras I resonate with.

Now: Willowbrook State School was a state-supported institution for children with intellectual disabilities located in the Willowbrook neighborhood on Staten Island in New York City. The institution gained national infamy in 1972, when Geraldo Rivera did an exposé on the conditions there. Public outcry led to its closure in 1987, and to federal civil rights legislation protecting people with disabilities.

#I'm also considering the Capital Crawl on 1990 and that general era of disability rights activism #tho essentially that is the...same era. Just different aspects of it #tbh now i don't even care about supernatural designs & powers...just disability rights history #Have I mentioned I used to work in disability advocacy? And studied this stuff #anyway thanks Reverse 1999 for giving me an excuse to research again #Mad Pride & it's accompanying movement was also 1990s but less American #aka less good for self-insert #now I gotta think of designs.... #reverse 1999 #textpost

wait so why is Appalachian folklore important to your character? are they really involved with storytelling are there appalachian monsters you want to involve or something else?

AUTISM ACTIVATION 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO

Okay so basically, the entire campaign takes place within the Appalachian region, specifically a small town in West Virginia. This entire region has an incredibly complex history that is often overlooked by outsiders who set stories there. I'm a huge believer in doing research for storytelling, especially when it comes to regions/places/cultures/people that you're not familiar with. Appalachia in particular has often been the victim of what one author referred to as "cultural strip mining," where interesting aspects of the culture are isolated by outsiders who then market them without the cultural context.

When I started crafting Chorus' character, I wasn't even aware that the region they hailed from was considered part of Appalachia. It wasn't until I started doing more research for their backstory that I began to recognize the incredible cultural context they hailed from, and decided that I wanted to make that cultural heritage a more central part of their character. Storytelling and music are already central elements to Appalachian culture, so I started doing research into local folklore, folk magic, and folk music in order to give myself a better understanding of what it would've really been like to be a young queer kid growing up in such an area.

Chorus comes from a long line of Appalachian musicians and rootworkers (one of many terms for those who practice folk magic traditions of the region), and this is something that brings them both pride and shame. Pride because it offers them concrete proof of their own history. Shame because the descendants of their childhood heroes disowned their mother and want nothing to do with them. They grew up learning the oral traditions of their mother's family and the region at large, and were an apprentice to the local midwife in their hometown before they fled. Their whole life has been shaped by the culture that raised them, and it was very important for me to portray that cultural with as much accuracy and respect as I could.

#beastiebites #artists on tumblr #Monster Hunters Club Campaign #MHC: Chorus #I am Very research oriented when i write akfhskfjsljf #artists have a lot of power and with that power comes great responsibility #also fun fact i was actually born in the Appalachian region despite growing up in the american south akfhskfj #so the research was also a little like returning home for me #appalachian Monsters specifically are a whole other can of worms akfhskfjslfj #cause many of them have roots in the culture of the native tribes that populated those regions #and were sacred to those tribes #so using them in our campaign would feel disingenuous to me unless we did a lot of research and worked with the tribes themselves #there are other monsters of the region who are more modern/not tribe specific though and Those are free game #shout out to my homie mothman that was my gender awakening #mothman forever <3 #alex pls make mothman canon #dont make me fight em tho i just wanna hug mothman

i need to invent my own swap au so i can stop being haunted by all the swap aus i don't like and also just bc i fucking love the idea of an akeshu swap au the only problem is idk how to make them swap places in the first place

#thinking abt this bc the morgana & goro au could have gone in this direction if they met a lot earlier #but i don't really like that tbh. in my swap au i would want goro's circumstances to be a Lot different (like his mother never died kind #of different) #the issue i think for me is figuring out how akira ends up working for shido. and also!! just the fact that goro is shido's son like #i want akira's baggage with shido to be something on equal terms as that without making them blood relatives bc obv goro is still #shido's son in my swap au bc itd be stupid if he wasnt #swap aus are cool but they also can so easily lose aspects of the characters that i love like how goro's character is a critique #of japanese society. i think akira would still have to have a criminal record tbh. and i'd have to do research and figure out a way #to make his character in the swap au be the epitome of japanese injustice without copying goro's deal. dunno if that makes sense #but yeah. oh yeah also i need akira to have awakened to his powers earlier so the timeline can still make sense #if akira is still the delinquent tho then like...what should the inciting incident for goro be!!!! ahh its so complicated!!!! #this is why i am so picky about swap aus lmao #sera rambles

Love how they managed to bring all of the hypothetical time gear locations together like this

#it brings to question tho. how did dusknoir know about the eastern forest being a hypothetical place #i wonder if he managed to track down the place grovyle landed and was trying to give the guild hints? #cause i think he knew where a lot of time gears would be based on his research and tracking the og trio #echoed voice #pmd posting #sorry for being so slow with this btw djdjjdjf im gonna try to power through a lot of it today #… or at least the special episodes. i dont have my earbuds and im gonna be out all day and i like to use them for the last bit #so once im up to the hidden land ill probably swap to the special episodes

i like writing this fic bc i just spent 3 hours watching videos of shit melting in acid and im totally not procrastinating okay? this is Important Research

#IT'S IMPORTANT RESEARCH!!! #cruddy rambles #Is my fic going to be scientifically accurate? Hahahahahahaha no. #It's a story about mermaids with magic water powers I really don't *want* it to be that would bog it down so much #In my defense if this were canon I don't think the show would try to be accurate either. So I'm onto something here. #Bella turns water into some type of jelly and some type of glass-like substance #I get to be vague about the acids and the powders okay it's my turn to hand wave the magic powers #It will dissolve things when it dissolves things!! #I just want it to *look* accurate lol #I do think Rikki and Lewis would have a great time blowing things up by combining their powers tho #Emma: O_O Cleo: 🫣 Rikki and Lewis: hahahahahahaha YES!!!!!!! #Notably Lewis is like: now THATS science!!! While Rikki is standing there hyped about being able to blow stuff up EVEN MORE #I won't lie their friendship means so much to me

does hybe largely = bangpd? bc i thought he'd have them in his best interest :/ i know he stepped down but i honestly dont know too much about the behind the scenes stuff. dont the guys have a lot of stock in h*be too?

well yes and no. hybe is a corporation that is owned by bang (who has....almost 35% of the shares) w 7 different companies under it, including bighit music, which manages bts. bts owned almost 500k shares before nam2seok sold....30ish k shares in 4th quarter 2021? so about 1% of the shares. i know when bang stepped down to be producer/chairman, the dude who used to be ceo of nexon became the next ceo. the last co-ceo of bighit ent is now ceo of the american branch of the company w ugh sco*ter br*un .

tldr; we've entered the mike eisner part of hybe's board aka more ip more money more expansion more monopolization. bang pretty much holds substantial deciding power but can still be overruled. and bts have creative powers and annual vacay re: their renegotiated contracts but idk of much else. their stocks are largely symbolic (a HUGE symbol but a symbol nonetheless since they cant buy more bc theyre employees and trading them is a dicey game bc #insider knowledge)

#real smart of nam2seok to sell when stocks were high tbh #im not really sure where true power lies behind the corproate veil tho since 1 im not too familiar w korean stocks 2 i dont pay attention #and 3 i havent bought any stocks in hybe so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ didnt do much research lmfao #again we dont know anythinggoing on behind the scenes so like....its anyones guess at this point #context: mike eisner was the disney ceo and why we have the horrors of all the sequels and these remakes and mulan 2020 #oh andd also why disney owns half the film industry and also the horrorshow of disney + #ans

So in a way, alcohol is considered a type of poison but not Too Much of a poison, so therefore it isn't affected by the poison immunity, in this essay I will--

#aria rants #so like remember when i went to research poisons and the chemistry behind its makeup that allows ppl to figure #out the classifications and what not behind what is considered a poison and what isnt? so like i researched bout alcohol too #cuz i remember how in some stories. if a character has self-healing powers. then alcohol doesnt affect them at all #so i was like: then doesnt that mean alcohol is considered a type of poison????? so i researched bout it. and it is. #so i had to weigh my options. and this isnt like in the au-- wait i havent told yall why ive been researching bout this-- #anyway so basically-- its because of alec. and not in the context of an au but in the context of the og universe where #he has a poison immunity cuz of Stuff that happened. so he ended up developing that but then at the same time #i rlly love lightweight alec and i had to weigh my options between getting rid of his immunity (which means id have to redo Everything) #or getting rid of lightweight alec which is funnily enough smth i cant let go of either way even tho thats the smart option #so instead ill cling onto the genre tag im the best at and thats fantasy-- so like trust me bro #well like tbf i can change that immunity to a resistance instead actually so thered be a reasonable justification as to why #alcohol isnt affected by it but also even as an immunity it still isnt going to be affected by it cuz of-- like-- Reasons #*gestures vaguely* look id need more research on the chemicals in alcohol and im too distracted to do that rn (thinkin of caiowe)

idk if it's genuine excitement or the energy drink i had earlier that's actually letting me focus and work but dude. i am CRUSHING this essay. this is Fun To Write. i think i'm actually doing a really good job here. wtf. i love my major man
