It’s not often that Jason’s actions confuse me but

Red Hood (2016-) #51

#I understand wearing a domino under the helmet because it always breaks or he has to explode it etc etc #but this? sweetheart what #that isn’t even the part that breaks all the time #I’m just gonna shamelessly use this to validate my hc that he just has mesmerizingly beautiful eyes #that if people saw once they’d never forget and it’s the trait that makes him easily identifiable #or that maybe he just wants to avoid making eye contact at all costs #why not both #jason todd #red hood #dc #rhato rebirth #red hood 51 #cover art #Also Dan Mora ty for your vision

reasons why atlus can’t kill akechi yet:

1. the potential comedy and justice moral debate we could have from tagging him with zenkichi as work buddies

2. back to no 1

#goro akechi #zenkichi hasegawa #persona 5 #P5R #P5S #ramski ngepost gambar dia di tumblr riil min #like look. almighty user? check. #has a gimmick that powers them up with stat cost? check (DEF desperation/HP fury). #unintentionally funny bc they're being based and normal? check. #has views that clashes with the phantom thieves? check. #first-hand victim of the system? check. #hope they (atlus) sees the vision i see...

New theory: at least one of Kotoko's parents is a police officer and she (and her brother most likely) were trained to become police officers themselves.

#HEAR ME OUT #so many things fit together when you think of it like this #Her mindset is exactly like cop mindset and it would make sense for it to be something she was trained into from childhood #She has been taking martial arts lessons from a young age using protection as a reason #Her parents would have had to allowed her to take them. What of they were the ones who set her up for them in the first place? #It would explain how she became Like This with the no persecution thing being true #She didn't go through an event that make her like this. She was taught to be this way #Well you could argue having cop parents and being pressured from a young age is traumatising in itself but I digress #It's the kind of trauma most wouldn't really recognise as such because it's common and not very extreme #She goes to a prestigious university which likely cost a lot in tuition. Her family would need to provide for it. Likely made her go into i #Which would mean she was probably ostracised from her family once she was sent to court and had to drop out #Because a good cop shild would not do this #This would also make her foil Kazui because they had similar childhoods #But one stepped into it a bit too well while the other wasn't ever able to truly fit in #milgram #kotoko yuzuriha #everyone needs to see my vision

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN..... WE GOTTEM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so SO much to everyone who commissioned (read: enabled) me!!

Now that I've reached my goal of +10ing my boy, and since my time is (unfortunately) still quite limited due to work, I'm going to be closing comms tomorrow! So, if you have an idea and haven't decided if you want to commit or not yet, now's your last chance for the time being! ;) And to all those who have already paid, I know I do still have quite a few to get through- I was a FOOL to think I could just bang these out in 24 hours, lol, but please rest assured they will be coming within the next few days!! I'll get through them slowly but surely. Admittedly I did take a break to draw this guy because I was so pleased to get him, but I'll get right back on the horse tomorrow lol. Thank you so much again everyone!! ^O^

Ferdinand went to a tea party and came back Different

#if you're wondering why I drew him with gullveig's serpents its bc i immediately fed my free gullveig to him xD flare sparrow + oath 4 yum #and then gave him her accessory for forging bonds so i can use him to grind bonus affection & sp lmaooooo #and while i wish they'd given us gullveig/seidr's floatie rocks as an accessory i love the broken halo-y look of the one they did. its neat #anyway i just love the idea that when you inherit a skill to a hero they gain a little bit of the sacrificed units traits. :) #Oops! Gained a little more than you bargained for there! Everything good comes at a cost- but the Order doesn't tell you until its too late #It's absolutely eating at him btw. he is now Experiencing Visions. a human's mind is not meant to interpret gullveig's cyclical nature #and i think its difficult for him to tell the present/what once was apart from what has yet to be/never was. #like watching two movies at once on the same screen! :) + hc that he gets the little floatie crystals when he's having strong visions #also lmao ferdie now sets EVERYTHING on fire. flame emperor who? #you can tell he's been somewhere bc he leaves singed footprints behind if he's not careful :) #GOD ANYWAY IM SORRY LOL too much random info. i'm done i promise. thank you so so much again if you supported me!!! <3 #i hope you have a fantastic rest of your day/evening!!! & keep an eye out if you're still waiting on art :)

Thinkings thinkings of Fatui!Kaeya have been reawakened in reviewing Arle's teasers/animations

#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. ); #//Whether it's Dad!Pierro or not; I do love the idea of him being left in the care of the Fatui/House of Hearth #//Tho timelines considered; he prolly would be in Pierro's personal care while Arle goes through her Traumatic Matricide Experience #//Doubt the man would want to leave him out of his sight; Khaenri'ahn/Alberich ties considered #//Or maybe he was raised/trained to fight under Signora. Or even for Columbina (her namesake's ties to Pierro's; considered) #//Tho also do LOVE the idea of Kae and Taru growin up together in the Fatui ranks and being the disastrous + shy boi duo #//Tho Kae'd prolly have less to hide/fear with them when it comes to his heritage. The strictness he'd be raised with though... #//Eh; Taru could bring him out of his shell even still jdbgfkf. If anyone can; he deffo could. His little wintry sunshine #//So maybe he'd grow into his peacock self a little more naturally; even if perhaps still out of necessity/for ease of his missions #//Less of a facade to hide his grief/missing pieces tho; more like the way Taru is charming & goofy to lower people's guards #//Still has his little habit of testing people deffo is Much worse and much more sadistic when it comes down to it #//Particularly towards fellow Fatui who disrespect him or their comrades; or just someone he ends up disliking in general #//Does 'test' new comrades; but is more willing to step in & help them if need be. Wants UTMOST trust; determination & loyalty in his men #//So will only ever take those who push to complete the mission at all costs; even themselves/willingly ask him for help when they need it #//Dislikes those who run; & LOATHES cowards who abandon comrades to save themselves; he WILL deliberately make sure they don't make it back #//Still employs his intel gathering methods as normal verse; but has preying mantis tendencies when it comes down to it nbcfjgf #//ESP if they try to take advantage of/blackmail him in some way. Or worse; those who betray him. He is meticulous & VERY ruthless abt it #//His signature is decapitation & an unmelting (Abyssal energy-laced) ice shard through the heart; around which he'd carve a stylized one #//If those informants keep being useful to him; they are safe; and treated so lovingly by him; spoiled rotten with gifts & favors aplenty #//Once they lose their usefulness...well; regrettably he cannot leave any loose ends. These become frozen as statues for him to keep #//'Precious mementos of lovers & conspirators'; he'd call them. He'd keep them in his private home in Snezhnaya #v; glacialis pavonis (fatui!kaeya) #//If he had to have a Harbinger title/name (maybe bumped up for when Scara erases himself); he'd prolly be l'Innamorato #//Fitting of his methods (is also the remaining role of Commedia dell'arte lololol). He is saccharine sweet; pretty & deadly as a belladonn #//Deffo would have tango-based motifs rather than waltz; would favor frost-laced roses. Might even leave those with his victims too #//Can you tell I listened to Rondo Across Countless Kalpas as I wrote this up jhbfjgkfhf #hc; kaeya #//I mean yeah lol. I have so many more thinkings abt this verse aaAAAA #//Am torn if I want his to use a Cryo Delusion; or have him with Cryo Vision and an Anemo Delusion. Do like that for Cryo Swirls #//Then his rage/scorn could be likened to a Blizzard. Do like that image. Deffo favors his Abyssal powers more tho; maybe THAT'd be better

Our poor Broke As Fuck Matt Murdock had to pay $100-$1000 (depending on his plan) for JAWS on his laptop and $300-$1000 for an electronic braille display and another $1000-$2000 for his embossing printer we see in the defenders. Like that man can’t afford that shit.  Being disabled is expensive as fuck y’all and Matt certainly didn’t have money to spare.

#Matt Murdock #blind matt murdock #Daredevil #being disabled is so expensive #im not disabled but I can do some basic research #and yeah all those expenses are a once every like 5-10 years thing #but there are still cane costs #cause he tosses those things around like candy #he probably also has to go to yearly optometry appointments to make sure his eyes dont get even more fucked up #cause eye health is not just about vision! #and we all know that man does not have insurence #and just miscellaneous costs to do with his disability #not to mention repair costs if his assistive tech breaks #and just the general cost of living and running a buisness #I just have these thoughts occasionally #accessibility is important yall #but unattainable for many #money being a huge contributing factor #tea talks

ah, the ever-more-frequent Urge To Explode My Brain from unending migraines. a migraine that just lasts the day already sucks so bad. whole day is gone in a blur of pain and misery, right ? a migraine that lasts multiple days is sort of like if hell was real and you were in it. time has no meaning, only pain, etc.

months of migraines... with no break or end or effective treatment and also you still have to work and behave like a normal person because you cannot lie in bed for months not paying rent. well id describe it you but ive fucking lost the plot. its gone on so long and its so bad that when the migraine ISN'T at its peaking on the pain scale and making me feel like if i was hit by a truck that would be an improvement, i start to feel like my head is a vestigial organ that has been removed. cant access sensation in my head and it feels literally disconnected from my body. meanwhile the pain is still there (along with the brain fog, vertigo, nausea, etc) but it feels like its happening to somebody else.

#im kind of impressed that i can at this point carry a normal conversation (as good as i ever can. which is bad but irrelevant) #while being in agony and having been in agony for as long as i can remember #usually also with something dislocated just for some extra fun #because what i actually feel like doing 100% of the time is lighting myself on fire and/or screaming forever until i die #however thats the kind of shit that puts you in the psych ward again #so i am. smiling and making small talk while migraine auras wash out my vision and i try not to visibly dry heave #its really really really fucking bad. all the time so fucking bad. #i need to message my neurologist but likelihood of me doing that is low #because 1) the stuff she's put me on has so far done nothing but add intolerable side effects to the hell that i am already existing in #and 2) its fucking hard to do anything. even the bare minimum im not doing. so extra shit is just. not happening #i want to scream. #i am gonna. go for a walk and smoke a cigarette instead and then get really high because at least then i dont really care #the auras are making it really hard to see though. theyre like bleach all over my vision. just this wash of white #hhh. #chronic illness #chronic migraine #and its like. when my knee also gives out and it feels like theres metal in there slicing everything up with each tiny movement #or any of the other one million goddamn things broken in my body #i end up so overwhelmed by pain that i just want to lay on the floor and cry #at which point everyone around me gets mad that im not being productive and im costing them money and im not good enough #like ok kill me then. cheaper for you happier for me. just get a heavy object and go to town i would thank you for it #but i cant even say that because openly expressing suicidality just makes people angrier #im rapidly running out of fucks to give but also i will do anything to avoid returning to the psych ward #literally anything. morals out the window. i dont give a shit. #so its a catch-22. #vent

[thebirdandhersong]

if someone who likes the ending to this movie would kindly provide a defense for Dexter I would be beholden to you because I cannot for the life of me understand why

#why what? you ask. why anything i answer #songbird watches romcoms........at what cost #perhaps i have terrible tunnel vision when it comes to jimmy stewart HOWEVER #dexter has been mighty smug and condescending and has insinuated himself into situations for the whole movie #and i cannot conceive why it turned out this way

[loudmound]

favorite harry headcanon is that it's not that his vision's deteriorated to the point of him needing glasses as he's aged, it's that he's ALWAYS needed glasses but he vehemently refused to wear them bcs he thought they made him look older (at least out in public). but since he's squinted his way through life his vision's only gotten worse so he relents and finally decides to start wearing them consistently in his mid-30s LOL

#stormy shouts #'what about contacts' harry would rather kill himself in the street than put anything in his eyes #he hates contacts he hates eyedrops he hates anything going near his eyes #vanity has cost this man clarity of vision and he's paying the price 😭

#I'mma just leave these here for a bit #They best describe what can lead up to cost cutting behaviors that are a detrement to the product #Discussions abt the crunch crisis usually come up around AAA titlea but 2d games are impacted by it just as much #Especially when you try adding mechanics to a VN to make them “more than a VN” #It makes development more demanding #Art is expensive sound is expensive writers programmers all of it #And when you impose a short deadline on a small team with big expecations routinely it breaks them #It sucks to scale down your vision to accomadate for the size of team you have #It sucks to promise things to your audience only to realize later you can't make it work #But that's just part of game development #I understand the final product has to make a profit you can't make art in a bubble #But my god when you get called out for cutting corners you can't point at your over worked artists/writers/programmers #Say it's their fault you didn't scale back the scope of the project after you realised they couldn't make it work with the people they had #Youtube

[charonte-simi]

I had to schedule two different appointments today, one for an eye exam and one vet visit for the new cat. Phone calls don't have any right to be as tiring as they are

#those are gonna cost me a bunch I just know it #fingers crossed we stay under $300 total #then im gonna have to order new glasses #cause my vision has gotten noticably worse over the last few months #and. i may've stepped on my glasses a couple days ago.. #so idk how long these are gonna hold up 😅 #simi speaks

[woundedheartwithin]

Not me staying up until 2am figuring out how to use ffmpeg so I can make fucking [redacted] gifs

#she speaks #better than lying in bed wishing I’d die in my sleep I guess lmao #if I can find the time and patience these’ll be my first ‘real’ gifs so to speak #not that all my others weren’t real #but the song in the mv has become very special to me and I have a vision lol #and that vision requires that damn photo processing software #fair to note that redacting shit in these posts isn’t about being embarrassed #I am not ashamed of listening to kpop okay I swear #that thing Dave Grohl said and all that #it’s about avoiding the fandom at all cost lol #but like… I probably actually won’t post them here so idk why I’m actually saying all this? #I got a zest for life that I haven’t had in like four months so yeah fuck it right 😂 #and I will not be tagging them under any circumstances #these are for ME #cuz he cute #and yeah the whole fandom thing y’know #is that enough tags? #anyway the mv is haegeum by agust d for anyone actually wondering #great track truly

Might post my very bad Fantasy High fanart

#I'm gonna try to figure out how to write it first #But my vision of childhood friends Fig and Gorgug has to be shared no matter the cost

having a five am THOUGHT which is A Classic

#thinking about eyrie loving zenos and the thought process of that #I guess it’s more like. where does the hesitancy lie #or is it hesitancy? or how does eyrie define being in love that created hesitancy #is it loving someone with their flaws? accepting that? does it still count as love if there is hesitancy and fear? #does it still count as unconditional love? do they need it to be that way? dies Zenos deserve that? #is it some form of betrayal to not love unconditionally? #Hydaelyn loved all and carried her hopes for the future and does it feel like spitting on the dead to not keep that alive #at whatever cost remembering the wishes of the dead requires? #it raises a lot of deeply and more uncomfortable questions for them to grapple with #being the only person asked to remember such things comes at some cost to themselves and at what point does their self become #not who they perceive themself to be bc of how much remembering has changed them #the self is never constant but it still gets me how one feels echo visions as if they are one’s own emotions #ANYWAY!! eyrie doesn’t love zenos but nonetheless they do feel something towards him #it’s nebulous and they let it exist in that push and pull #eyrie has these concerns but they never voiced them sndjdjd #there is far too much going on up in their head it’s a wonder they don’t have like. smoke coming out of their ears #oc: eyrie kisne

Holy crap, I didn't think Biden would be able to get the Climate Corps established without Congress. This is SUCH fantastic news.

--

"After being thwarted by Congress, President Joe Biden will use his executive authority to create a New Deal-style American Climate Corps that will serve as a major green jobs training program.

In an announcement Wednesday, the White House said the program will employ more than 20,000 young adults who will build trails, plant trees, help install solar panels and do other work to boost conservation and help prevent catastrophic wildfires.

The climate corps had been proposed in early versions of the sweeping climate law approved last year but was jettisoned amid strong opposition from Republicans and concerns about cost.

Democrats and environmental advocacy groups never gave up on the plan and pushed Biden in recent weeks to issue an executive order authorizing what the White House now calls the American Climate Corps.

“After years of demonstrating and fighting for a Climate Corps, we turned a generational rallying cry into a real jobs program that will put a new generation to work stopping the climate crisis,” said Varshini Prakash, executive director of the Sunrise Movement, an environmental group that has led the push for a climate corps.

With the new corps “and the historic climate investments won by our broader movement, the path towards a Green New Deal is beginning to become visible,” Prakash said...

...Environmental activists hailed the new jobs program, which is modeled after the Civilian Conservation Corps, created in the 1930s by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, a Democrat, as part of the New Deal...

Lawmakers Weigh In

More than 50 Democratic lawmakers, including Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey and New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, had also encouraged Biden to create a climate corps, saying in a letter on Monday that “the climate crisis demands a whole-of-government response at an unprecedented scale.”

The lawmakers cited deadly heat waves in the Southwest and across the nation, as well as dangerous floods in New England and devastating wildfires on the Hawaiian island of Maui, among recent examples of climate-related disasters.

Democrats called creation of the climate corps “historic” and the first step toward fulfilling the vision of the Green New Deal.

“Today President Biden listened to the (environmental) movement, and he delivered with an American Climate Corps,” a beaming Markey said at a celebratory news conference outside the Capitol.

“We are starting to turn the green dream into a green reality,” added Ocasio-Cortez, who co-sponsored the Green New Deal legislation with Markey four years ago.

“You all are changing the world,” she told young activists.

Program Details and Grant Deadlines

The initiative will provide job training and service opportunities to work on a wide range of projects, including restoring coastal wetlands to protect communities from storm surges and flooding; clean energy projects such as wind and solar power; managing forests to prevent catastrophic wildfires; and energy efficient solutions to cut energy bills for consumers, the White House said.

Creation of the climate corps comes as the Environmental Protection Agency launches a $4.6 billion grant competition for states, municipalities and tribes to cut climate pollution and advance environmental justice. The Climate Pollution Reduction Grants are funded by the 2022 climate law and are intended to drive community-driven solutions to slow climate change.

EPA Administrator Michael Regan said the grants will help “communities so they can chart their own paths toward the clean energy future.”

The deadline for states and municipalities to apply is April 1, with grants expected in late 2024. Tribes and territories must apply by May 1, with grants expected by early 2025."
