#today has been a trip

[skoulsons]

The constant battle of “i shouldnt be reacting like this because I’m an adult” vs “self hatred ruined my life and I’m only capable of thinking of myself in this way” vs “this is so irrational and stupid” vs “I’m an emotional person but do I prefer that and all that comes with it over being stone cold” vs

#once these moments hit and I get in my thoughts I usually don’t eat either #to ?? punish myself ?? #today has been a trip #nobody’s listening L

I know I said that the next update is 16 pages, but I'm strongly considering writing out the second half instead, or at least part of it.

I've finished the first half of it, and I like how the art turned out, but it was time-consuming to do, and, uh... I don't want to do much more of it. XD

#Today has left me DRAINED #Overstimulated kid at work got under my skin #And then had a B I G shopping trip. #And trying to figure out how I can condense Linden Roots lol #Ultimately nothing horrible big-picture-wise. #But my mood has been sour most of the day. X<

honestly as someone who has been in various fandoms for a long time now and who also watched campaigns 1 and 2 without really getting into cr fandom it isn’t Shocking but it is annoying how often people will look at the stories that cr tells and make absolute claims about the goodness of characters (goodness here meaning Moral goodness, not I Like This character and think it’s well made goodness, which is a separate post entirely). particularly regarding the gods and pc parents. and honestly like, typically in fandom i get annoyed by people bending over backwards to woobify characters who are active in their choice to be unkind and generally horrible but in the cr fandom it’s tended to be the opposite where like. a character is just. a human being (in the sense of being Average not in the sense of Fantasy Races) and huge swaths of the fandom act like that’s the most unforgivable thing someone can be. and maybe it is, but one of the most powerful things about fiction is that it tends to encourage people to expand their empathy and exercise their ability to forgive. because fictional characters, no matter how much people like to project onto them, tend not to cause anyone harm, so it’s easier to learn how to forgive and accept things you don’t understand without also villainizing them.

this is mostly prompted by the recent 4sd and the fact that matt’s response to what’s up with the dawnfather was a very insistent “He’s not bad!” and also seeing the online reaction to the mention that the matron would punish vax for saving keyleth that has taken the as usual completely bonkers tune that the raven queen (Who When Met With A Brother Asking A God To Kill Him In Favour Of His Sister, Gave Him A Job, and Later Extended His Natural Life To Help Protect The World And Have More Time With His Family And Allowed Him To Visit His Sister On Her Wedding Day) is a horrible evil abusive bitch of a god. like. can we grow up? can we understand the world and fiction that represents the multitudes of experiences found in it in shades of grey? is that too much to ask (i know it is).

but also specifically the like Extremely Adamant way that both matt and laura were like no no no no relvin isn’t Horirble he’s average. he’s not good he’s just. he’s A father, not a good or bad one. and on the surface it’s hilarious that they’re both so like. enthused to point out that he’s Average because typically when people respond to a claim of a characters badness with the level of immediacy they both did it’s a rebuttal of “no, this character is good actually.” but it was just to affirm that relvin did harm imogen, but not because there’s some aspect of his character that is inherently cruel or especially Bad. and like. yeah actually. yeah you should react like that to a claim that this average person who Has hurt someone, the way that nearly every single person has hurt someone in a way they cannot repair, with immediacy to say this person is a Person and thus imperfect and capable of great harm, but that isn’t some all encompassing judgment on their morality or capability to also do good or be fine.

anyway this is kinda just a rant post but also is just me saying i’m very grateful that when surrounded by a fandom that tends to paint characters as Good or Bad and even while using a game that can encourage that with its alignment system, cr has always told stories that see goodness as a persistent choice that might sometimes falter and that can be chosen even after a lifetime of Badness. i can’t remember exactly what the quote was so forgive me if it’s incorrect but when jester is talking to caleb after he claims he’s not a very good person and she says “good people do bad things sometimes. even bad people do good things.” that’s it! that’s one of the most consistent themes across campaigns. and yet.

#on fandom #cr tag #i just. maybe it’s the philosophy major in me but. good grief the shit some of y’all say about morality and then turn around and ignore #what you’ve just said. good grief #lately it’s specifically been the people who support liliana (i too love evil women) and act like she tripped and fell into her current #position. and then turn around and call relvin an abusive devil #like. sorry which one has been manipulating imogen. which one abonded her? #that’s besides the point. my point is. the words good and bad are meaningless. #the good placeism. is this character trying to be better today than they were yesterday #this is the imogen temult problem actually. like yes she Chooses to be good. but that is only a choice because we have Seen her be selfish #and cruel and manipulative. if i had to choose to call imogen good or bad i’d of course choose good. but that undermines so much of #what makes her ‘goodness’ actually compelling. #honestly same with fjord. like his character as a charismatic paladin who fights for Good™ is comtextualised by having seen his journey #like. otherwise he’d be boring. #like. if any cr main character was just Good or just Bad. i promise it would not be as popular as it is #critical role

And my little haul of merch! A beautiful little wooden model of Red Force that I can assemble myself, a keychain of Ben's wanted poster, and my favourite: a tiny Makino<3

#nothing drives home just how minor your favourite character is than to look for a figure in Akihabara #but I found her!! #look at her - she's so cute :') #Ben's wanted poster was a gachapon prize #(third time's the charm - I also ended up with two of Pekoms of all people) #I love how cool he looks in this photograph #might have to write a follow-up to that fic about Shanks' wanted poster photo #but ahhhhh I love the wooden Red Force model so much!! a perfect little token for my writing desk<3 #last day in Tokyo today before we go home and I am both sad to leave and ready to get back to my normal routines #it has been an incredible trip!

I- do not like New York city.

#look i am a city person #NYC is just. a different animal. #it has been a good trip! a whirlwind! #saw an AMAZING show tonight #also had a guy talk about bashing my face in on the subway #and another guy circling too close #and just. my nerves are a bit shot today #tw violence mention #i'm with family! it's a family trip. i hid against my dad christ #this city is just. something else. #all the extremes #i lived in baltimore for two years and it wasn't that bad #i've lived in cities for over a decade #NYC freaks me out 😂 #tbd

One last glance at a former rival

bonus + original photo below cut

#is he away? dead? neither they're just partners now #i was thinking of killing him off but that sounds like so much more work #plus im not an angsty person :DDD #mandark is judging his pose. it's not his fault. it's the photographer's fault. it just looked awkward drawing any other pose lol #i like to think he liked to stare at his rival's billboard. just staring. #he stares longingly at dexter like the pining fool he is #dexter: where were you! you were supposed to be here to help me pack up! #dark: I was. . . busy. doesn't want to admit that he DID spend time with him but as in staring at ad of his face for uncomfy amount of time #an idiot in love your honor #they're also not together YET in this. they're just mutually working together. dark has a major crush cuz i like him tripping over himself #i am kinda late to this meme. i was thinking about it forever and never got around to it till now #been in art frenzy today. finished 4 pieces that i put off for a while #draws a somewhat serious scene. me: . . . but what if there was some humor. some silly. something to absolute shatter the moment- #dexter's laboratory #dexter's lab #dexdark #dexter #mandark #flame draws

LOVE AND PEACE ON FUCKING PLANET EARTH

#kelly plays ykz #yakuza 0 spoilers #I'm stopping now its like 7am I prefer to believe they are going to have a dinner and plan a trip to Europe and never come back actually #IM SO OBSESSES WITH THEM IT'S MAKING ME SICK IN THE HEAD #i didn't start this game expecting anything other than brother^tm but you know what. IF #they every single one of majima's old boss can say tell this guy has feelings maybe i can too. yeah. YEAH. #OBSESSED SO BAD with chapter 16 first cutscene... he has absolutely NO hesitation in running up to her. #and the second she goes past him he immediately refuses to let her go. #ITS SO INSANE how he has been so lifeless the last chapter and accepting his fate as a pawn for the next one #to show that fucking face he makes while looking at her. ITS SO WEIRD IN A FANTASTIC WAY my man is having too many feelings he can't #she** can't even see it and it KILLS ME bc he is making the world's puppiest eyes at her IM SO AUAAGAHHAHH SLAMMING MY HEAD ON THE TABLE #I NEED THEM. TO BE. SO NORMAL RN. I NEED THEM TO HAVE SUCH NORMAL DINNER RN. #I'm stopping playing bc i'm not sure that's going to happen so enough tears for today but I JUST. REALLY NEED THEM. #TO HAVE DINNER. HOLDING HANDS. AND THAT'S IS. CAN SOMEONE HEAR ME. #she really is like my top3 favorite characters in this damn game I adore this woman to death. #feeling so majima by his sigh in realief as soon as she stopped walking away when she tripped. the way his damn face changes from pained to #'IDEA!' and imediatelly offers to take her out........................... i'm so unwell at this momento. #I thought if they met again I wouldn't be able to trust majima bc he was so set in being a damn pawn in the previous chapter but man..... #the amount of thoughts behind his eye everytime he looked at her. if they end up playing that as him bring in pain #bc he has to win her over im going to kll a guy. there's no way NO WAY U HEARD ME #thry are literally my everything. there is NO way she is going to survive this game and I'm trying sk damn hard to get #used to that idea but it just sucks i love her so much. and thw worst part i have no idea what's up with majima on the other games #is her dying being his villain storie??? his hero redemption? HELL IF I KNOW. IS SHE EVEN DYING FR?? #i truly think they could get away wih shipping her to another country. and it would make sense for majima to insist her to go. #but oh I doubt so hard they are giving me anything but pain with my favorite relationships in this game. i really do. #until then..... lying down in bed.... thoughts abt majima soft expression at her.... abt the weight her voice #carries rn.... abt the way he said 'hey' and she said 'you think I'm emotional because I'm hungry again'..... they. are. so. #the way they dont even give a choice to walk faster when she is accompanying majima. #I have such low standards at this point. if they don't at least hold hands again i will cry. #he doesn't need to guide her around anymore so... u see my vision? him asking for her hand bc he wants to... hello?

Took a 3rd try at making egg tarts for my mum with a different recipe for the filling! 2nd image has those fun scallop edge things cause I finally took my ass out and bought a proper cookie cutter 🤡

#my mum took half a dozen for her trip #and i gave some to my cousins and coworkers #one of my coworkers is a funny dude he actually went and bought me flour and eggs to make more lmao #and i had my dad try one today and he proceeded to just??? eat the last 3??? #not me going 'wait where'd the tarts go' #OH i also gave some to these people i know at another food store across from our shop #because they literally said they'd be ok with being guinea pigs for whatever i bake #everybody has a lot of trust in me not deciding to roulette something with wasabi or siracha 🤡 #anyway this is my blue moon post on tumblr #hope everybody's been doing ok!
