you know the fictional character obsession is really bad when you start seeing amvs in your head while you listen to music

#if i love the song and the lyrics are even remotely applicable #you know im imagining the craziest shonen anime-est shit in my head #it is actually my most peaceful state to exist in #dragon age #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #mass effect #garrus vakarian #zevran arainai #fenris #thane krios #astarion #those are all applicable to me #and any of your other rpg blorbos #with love #<3

the evolution of the operator symbol over the course of the series is so endlessly fascinating to me, because like. Alex came up with the symbol and only ever really used it on his hypergraphia papers, which we don't really see him do much (if at all) after season one

but Brian,, Brian uses that symbol constantly. It's basically a signature by the end of the series - he leaves it on Tim's medical records, and on the back of Alex's photo of Amy, and on the note he left for Jay about Benedict Hall - he even uses it in his final video to unveil his name - it's self-referential, but he doesn't ever really seem to use it to denote The Operator the way Alex did?

Like, to me it really does seem like he basically appropriated it. "This is the symbol you created for the thing that was hunting you, but now I'm the thing that's hunting you" - like, hh fuck dude, Looking At You

#N posts stuff #marble hornets #totheark #mh lb #i was thinking about this last night and just rewatched all of the totheark videos to check my own work lol #and like. even in the videos he uses it as a self-referential symbol #he uses it in Intermission - 'did you see me? i saw you' #he uses it in Reminder - 'do you remember me?' immediately followed by His footage of Jay at the antique store #he uses it in Decline - 'he will pay' denoting His revenge quest on Alex #sometimes there IS more ambiguity in its application - like in 'Inquiry' or 'memories' #where like maybe it could be denoting the effects of the operator's influence? but those are s2 and i'm Mostly talking about s3 #but i mean even in s1 the symbol shows up in the last frame of some videos like a signature/sign off #sorry brian is just so fascinating to me i want to study him like a beetle

Nothing funnier to me than a fansite that horrifically white washes pics of the guys until they genuinely look like walking corpses but then will have DO NOT EDIT in all their captions like baby.... if there's anyone here who should have the editing software taken away, it's you...

#see this is where i might potentially have a controversial opinion #bc while i 100% always link back to twt videos or pics from concerts and stuff #bc i think its the polite and fair thing to do #i also find the DO NOT EDIT DO NOT REPOST stuff slightly silly #just bc ypure taking pictures of famous people and posting them on the internet like.... people are going to #i think putting credit is 100% the right thing to do but also if i ever went to a show and took a pic that wasnt a total blur #id p much expect others to save it and do stuff with it bc thats just how the internet works #also somehow pics taken at the airport and other invasive places with those captions especially make me laugh like you can go mob them #and take those pics but also expect everyone else to respect your copyright or something? #like at least with concert stuff its expected to take videos so i really do believe you shpuld link back #bc its like wow thank you for taking that video and sharing that funny moment with the rest of us #but some of it im like Nah be for real #like yeah always link back to op when applicable but its not always applicable yk #and white washers dont deserve anything at all

To Shape A Dragon’s Breath

YA fantasy

a young Indigenous girl finds & bonds with a dragon hatchling - the first time in many generations for her people - and is required to go to the coloniser’s dragon academy in their mainland city, to learn how to raise her dragon and the science of its magic

historical inspired setting on the cusp of industrial revolution with steampunk vibes

bi polyamorous MC, Black lesbian SC, nonverbal autistic SC

#To Shape A Dragon’s Breath #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #this is really really good i loved it! #the chapter titles are all like snippets of a story. or like sentence fragments that match up. which is cool #it is definitely more about being indigenous in a coloniser institution than Dragon School - not Super dragon heavy if you want that #I suspect the subsequent books will get into that when she gets big enough to ride and stuff #t’s also def YA! i’ve seen a few ppl assume it’s adult and be like its very young :( but like. I mean its perfectly reasonable for a 15yo m #definitely a Lot of racism and colonialism which is not fun to read! though it's still through a YA lens. there was def a part of me that #was imagining consequences of the narrative as if it were an adult novel #on that line of thought - at the end a lot of it is kind of solved by them going to the king and he's is like. oh no racism is happening? #that's bad i'll deal with those people! which felt like. a little simplistic. but maybe the easiest way to end the narrative for book 1 - #I don't think the author ACTUALLY is going to portray the king as a Good Guy throughout the series - it just felt conveniently like - #a simple YA solution to some very big and complex elements? if that makes sense? (but again - it is YA so it's allowed I suppose!) #some of the worldbuilding (like all the science learning) is probably setup for next books - we don’t really see any practical application #the romances are also subtle and not Overbearing In Book One which i like - leave some space for the series! #also her getting fanmail from a 10yo mixed race girl who looks up to her 🥺 #anyway. i really loved it! #oh also it reminded me a little of leviathan. i guess just the steampunk/time period/european culture.... #To Shape A Dragon's Breath

Giving credit to original posters, creators, artists, photographers, and sources matters.

It matters to the person who put in the time and effort to create the content. Whether it's finding that photo and editing it to make it stand out. Or downloading that video, editing it, coloring it, turning it into a gif, adding subtitles, etc. Regardless of what you do (job/student), I'm sure you too would not like it if someone else takes credit for your work.

It matters to people who want to know context. Was it said by a fan, your favourite's bestie, a reputable journalist? Published by a tabloid or the New York Times? From last week or last year? Is it an original, or did someone get photoshopped in for a meme?

It matters to people who may want to explore more content of that particular publication, so they will continue to publish top-notch articles. Or give kudos to a budding artist for their outstanding art work, potentially encouraging them to create more. Or compliment that photographer on capturing their fave in just the right light.

It matters, because even though it may take you an extra minute or so to add on that name or link, it is the right thing to do.

#i am aware we could do more like #pay for content we use #but giving credit is truly the bare minimum #and we all have those times when we are busy and forget to note the source #but we can try to make the effort 99% of the time #so much wonderful talent on this app #and other social media #who deserve to be acknowledged #and i know i am not the only one who spent hours gathering data #putting it into excel #creating a nice graph #with me crediting my data sources #only to then find it reposted on twitter 2 minutes later #without any credit whatsoever added #giving credit matters #cite your sources #not just applicable to f1mblr #but since that's the fandom i'm in #f1 #formula 1 #charles leclerc

i think what has helped keep me motivated + curious abt all matters of the world is to acknowledge when smthng is not for me. it's too broad, advanced, unrelatable, or just unlikable, & instead of being discouraged or frustrated in my inability to understand or enjoy, i say "this not for me, but i can recognize it may be for someone else." OR, & this helps me the most, i say "this is not for me right now. months or years from now, this may suit me better."

#mike unknowingly helped me lasso this mindset when we were talking abt grit #i said oh i don't like grit very much. all the poems are so... not what id write now #& he was like si... you wrote some of those when you were 16 17 18... yr in yr 20s now #of course you'd write them differently! yr life is different! yr different from who you were then #& it just... flipped a switch in me #like okay!! nearly everything has its timely application & the sooner i understand & apply that the easier it will be to both love & hate!

Hello praying people, I'm not doing well and would really appreciate your prayers right now <3

#long very boring and unnecessarily detailed tag monologue incoming‚ feel free to skip: #this is going to sound like a silly thing to be hitting rock bottom over #but i’m fairly certain i have a semi-rare skin condition known as sensitive skin syndrome #which is basically where skin gets progressively more sensitive #until it won’t tolerate the topical application of anything at all without getting irritated #usually it happens to people on the skin of their face and i have it there but i also specifically have it on my lips #(which apparently is extremely not normal; i found a dermatologist’s case study from like 2019 of one woman who had it on her lips #and according to this case study there were no other cases of people having it on their lips #in all the dermatological literature he had read) #i can’t follow the protocol which all the journal articles i’ve been able to find say is helpful for the rest of the face which is basicall #leave the area the heck alone for at least a year #because if i don’t apply anything to my lips for more than two or three days they will get so dry they crack and bleed #so it’s looking like one way or another i may be having to deal with dry burning irritated lips for the rest of my life #and i’m not dealing with the thought of that very well #i’ve already suffered so much anguish from extreme sensitivity on the rest of my face #and not being able to take proper care of the skin there #and this is just too much for me #i know God is allowing this for a reason but it’s filling me with so much frustration and panic and despair that i don’t know how to go on #but i must and i will #this isn’t a serious or a life-threatening condition but it’s looking like a pretty hopeless one and it’s hurting me badly #and i would appreciate prayers that it would just be healed or that i would know what to do #i think i will try going to my dermatologist but somehow i doubt she's even heard of sensitive skin syndrome #on a COMPLETELY unrelated note i'm just about to get my period and also for two days i've ''eaten'' nothing but vegetable smoothies #and those in pretty small amounts because they're disgusting #(do a detox my hormonal health doctor said) #(it'll be fun she said) #ok if you read this far you're so brave braver than any u.s. marine etc. #thanks for reading ily <3

im so considerate.... (<- guy not ranting about a thing it hates before its friend is done with the media)

#can officially say i finished the arkhamverse. didnt watch anything about that suicide squad one but i read all comics #a d watched the complete story & side mission gameplay for origins asylum city and midway through my refresher for knight #the biggest takeaway i have is wow these people are weird about convicts and addicts and love their toxic masculinity #but the gameplay and nostalgia impacts peoples opinions on it. maybe an enjoyable experience but for the story or universe itself #its a complete failure in every regard i can think of—only having glimpses moments of quality that makes the rest of it #be frustrating because the potential can be there. theres interesting premises occasionally but the execution and payoff doesn't make it #even worthwhile to get to those premises because of what you must wade through to reach them #<- thats me being my nicest and most spoiler freeabout it btw. #my other big takeaway is that tim is canonically older than jason and i think a grown ass man saying fuck that kid is really funny #[SPOILERS LOOK AWAY CJ] #<- tim currently works as a highschool science teacher while jason was shown to be adopted and made robin at 15 #where he was then promptly captured and kidnapped by joker. he escaped half? a year later during asylum and AK takes place 2 years afterward #i think. the entire timeline for this shitty universe is awful and confusing. dick was robin for like 2 years its ridiculous. #and i think primarily so they can go noooo see bruce is a hot late 30 year old instead because you become dust at any older!! #but. back to the age thing. hes about 17 maybe early 18 during AK but because tim is a private school teacher he needs a bachelor's degree #and most people get it at 22/23ish and then theres the actual teacher application and being hired (or not because hes a nepo baby) #so hes early mid twenties or so. compared to a (presumably dead) teenager who he called a loser more or less.

Uncle Nina, do they do HYH in the RM universe?

OOOOOH!!!!! it’s interesting that ur asking me this, anon.

— because i wanted to say No ( bc you know, they got their own distinct style scent thing going, the smile pendejo thing, like its all the same but its different )

However...

so me and the ~wife~ ( cue me saying HI! ;) louder than anyone else ) were talking abt the ravesey divorce para i was writing where kyle was getting all his messy jersey bad boy attack dog battle wounds patched up by pacifistic gentle punk rock angel medic!ravenstan...

and that...while he was bandaging kyle's knuckles up ( you know, before laying all those tiny hello kitty and care bear bandaids ) raven definitely tenderly kissed Each One of jersey's knuckles...AND THAT GAVE ME MENTAL PROBLEMS BC YOU KNOW HE DID!!! you know he was so gentle, attentive and Loving!!!! which given The Context!!!

AAAAAA!!!!!! -bangs my head in the car door screaming-

anYwAys!

but i just Know that jerseykyle, who is never surprised, never caught off guard, never vulnerable, does not fluster and NEVER blushes, was completely captivated. all wide-eyed and stuttering like

"wh-what? whaddaya—stan, what are you doin—“

then stan gets to the last knuckle, kisses it, puts his hand down & kyle, putting all the pieces together like the logician he is, is like...

"oh my god...ya still do that?

— from when we were little kids?"

and kyle squints, then shakes his head in disbelief like...

"'..cause ya mom, said that if you get hurt,

and you don't kiss it betta...It Won’t Heal Right."

and ravenstan just leans up and kisses jersey on the cheek — right where he has a cut — puts a hello kitty bandaid over it, and then...

in the softest, saddest, sentimental voice, smiles & says,

"Hope You Heal." :')

WHICHKHDSK RAAAAH!!! WHY WOULD I DO THIS!!!

i hate the ravesey divorce. i hope i fucking heal..

…bUT MAYBE NAUGHT WTF????!!!

-uncle nina, ~wheN WoRLDs cOLLidE~

#anyways #hell is a place #this directly mirrors a fb i was going to write but never did #where stan throws a ball on the playground in kgarten #it hits kyle in the face and stan is all freaked out like #did i hit you??? oh my god??? and kyle is like YEAH STUPID AND NOW IM GONNA HIT YOU winding up to Punch Him #but stan is still like hyperfixated like okay where did i hit you kyle? Exactly Where? #and hes like what the fuck do u think u fucken idiot right where the lump is forming in the middle of my gahdamn che-- #and stan jumps up on the bench where kyle is reading this gigantic greek mythology book yes its hades and persephone dont talk to me #and kisses kyle on the cheek and is like PhEw! i hope its in the right spot AND KYLE IS SHOOK LIKE dID YOU JUST KISS ME #and stan is like!!! ofc i did!!! my mom says that if you get hurt and dont kiss it better it wont heal right...so #*stan sigh and smile* I Hope You Heal :) <3 #and kyles hand is on his cheek all dizzy like...Me Too #ANYWAYS!!!! it was for pep but tbh now its applicable to rm #especially bc kgarten kyle had the jersey accent its canon #BUT YEAH WERE IN HELL I HATE THE RAVESEY DIVORCE BUT IF U WANT THE SAD HCS OF WHAT THEY WERE LIKE #BROKEN UP I HAVE THOSE #BUT UH I HOPE YOU HEAL WHAT THE FUCK THIS IS MY ACROSS THE NCUNIVERSE MOMENT #i'm gonna start screaming this is misery dude

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD ANOTHER JOB I APPLIED FOR CONTACTED ME TOO?!

#And it’s also part-time and pays well #huh #decisions #I’m definitely going to do that historical one; I’m just debating if I should do both #the schedules might confuse me #I’m really hoping the people looking for a desk receptionist position in a massage place ask for an interview #because they advertise free massages as a benefit of working there #and just— Yes. Please. #But I don’t think it’ll happen because 500 people applied and there’s no way I’d be picked out of all those people #This other job is really cool though… hm #Hm #lots of decisions #I didn’t think anyone would call me back because the last time (when I had no job) I sent out over 100 and only three replied #So I went a little overkill with how many applications I sent out

#. having some struggles with art lately #like I'm struggling with Making The Art y'know?? #it's not art block because i HAVE the ideas and the desire to draw but i just. can't #i don't know if it's stress or my bones shifting weird or just being tired or what but Something is keeping me from drawing what i want #when i do draw something it doesn't turn out looking good and other times i can't force myself to draw at all #which really sucks because I'm on a time limit for a lot of art! #I've been trying to work on Artfight for ages‚ a zine I've been waiting MONTHS for applications to open‚ making stickers for my DnD group! #all of those have very specific time limits and i just! can't! get! myself! to! draw!!!!!! #i might delete this later i just needed. some way to vent it out #this didn't turn out how i wanted either but that's sorta the point lol #idk. just feeling really stressed out about it i guess #vent #vent art #three eyed cats in my living room

Yeah I'll try not to post much here (ADHD memory I'll try my best) for the strike as it's all I can do, maybe some Palestine posting for it too, so I'll save ask answers and fnaf posting for afterwards. There's currently a big ol' storm here at the moment making the internet a bit spotty so it's not like it's easy to post right now anyway so you're not really gonna be missing much

And to the anon in my inbox, hi I see you. You're not annoying or anything with your asks I'm just slow and now participating in the strike so I'm sorry but you'll probably be waiting a spell for those answers. Doing what I can, even if it's tiny, is more important right now I feel

#it's not like I've been posting anything interesting lately anyway outside those asks and stuff #most of my posts are just 'hey I drew a thing but I won't show you it yet' at the moment #people aren't exactly missing anything of value lmao #but yeah I can't do anything else #I have no money and I don't leave the house ever most of the things called for aren't applicable to me #cause I already don't do anything like that #I sign online petitions and send emails when I can if I'm being asked to dip from social media for a week and boost palestinian voices- #when I'm here? yeah that's not a lot to ask of me #I've dipped from social media like this before for my health it's real good for me #it's all I can do AND it's benefitting me anyway to keep my stuff offline for a bit #only change is coming back to reblog the latest palestine stuff which I plan to do on my main #sometimes you just have to put the socials down I can do that it's no big ask of me it's merely a habit #that my ADHD struggles to stick to if I just move a bunch of shortcuts around lmao easy consider it done #my only problem is being mentally unprepared because my tism likes to know in advance but I'll live so... #c'yas later!!! #(I'll still be on Discord though if anyone that has it wants a chit chat)

Just got the email back from the medicaid office yesterday and literally every source of aid to understand what the heck they need from me is closed today. I lose my health insurance in six days 🥲

you know, maybe one of the reasons Law has resonated with me as a character lately is because he ate the Ope-Ope no Mi/Op-Op Fruit and my Midwestern American ass recognizes that sacred word and just clings to it because he is exactly the type of guy who would wear a hoodie with shorts and exudes not only big I Might Have Had A Rebellious Phase But I’m A Professional Now If You Would Just Listen to Me I am So Tired energy but also what is Flevance but a Rust Belt town decimated by toxic mining and a government filled with just enough people who want to sweep it under the rug and look the other way and this doesn’t even get into headcanons about Flevance being the Low Countries/more Dutch than what most people think of when they read “German” bc it caters to my personal whims or Detroit parallels because I will make Detroit parallels about every fictional center of wealth and prosperity and culture that gets fucking abandoned and treated like trash (especially by those around it) and no one can stop me

#wearing a hoodie and shorts while in A/C writing this like yeah this tracks #Law is just a very good and applicable blorbo #he can translate really well into Midwestern and while I know some of it is projecting not all of it is #this is part of why Double Date From Hell is set in the pseudo-Midwest #it just fcking works in my head alright #no shade to people who think he's swiss or from dresden or smth #those hcs are just as valid it's just iykiyk #might use these musings in fic might not #Trafalgar Law #One Piece #Trafalgar D.

Ed recovery with autism and adhd is so weird.

Like I'll either forget to eat lunch entirely or I'll forget when I ate last and end up eating lunch 3 seperate times instead.

Then sometimes I have to literally ask my girlfriend if I'm hungry because I don't fucking know what my body is feeling ever and she's usually like "Yeah you should eat".

Then when I go to prepare food it's like:

Me: okay body so how much food do you want

Body: hm...m... food...?

Me: yes food. But HOW MUCH

Body: uhh... s e v e r a l

Me: WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

And then I end up making too much for me to eat (thank God I'm allowed to not eat all of my food now- I hated that rule so much growing up) but its still so goddamn confusing skgjfjfhff

#wrong #anyway im incredibly thankful for my girlfriend who is so so patient and supportive #the amount of help and support i never realized i need is actually insane #like i genuinely cant function without help because of my autism (and adhd to a lesser degree) #idk its just really nice to not only have help but not feel like i should be ashamed of needing it either #oof i forgot the other thing that happens when i make food is that i prepare it and then by the time its done cooking #i dont even want it anymore -_- like wtf? i literally was JUST hungry #or i wont feel hungry but then as soon as i go to bed and cant make food because everyones asleep #and the lights are all off and im all cozy and sleepy #THEN im starving. my body has the worst timing ever sometimes istg #still not as bad as before recovery though #ive just elected to be a lot more patient with myself #i used to compare my recovery to other peoples never understanding what i was doing #but the truth of the matter was those people i was comparing myself to #had only had eds for like 2-5 years. which is still bad of course but its not applicable to my scenario #they were also neurotypical and cisgender which i also couldnt relate to #the thing is i never learned how to eat properly. before my ed i still wasnt eating enough #because my parents were neglecting me #i only know hunger and i never learned how to eat properly or what being nourished feels like #that means i have to not only relearn things but learn them entirely for the first time #i have to learn what hunger feels like and what being full feels like and when it is and isnt ok to skip a snack #its just really hard learning these things for the first time ar 20 years old #and once i acknowledged that- that it was really hard for me- i think i felt a lot of relief #like im struggling but it makes sense that i am and i wont always feel like thia #one day i will heal. i just needed a little help
