slowly but surely i'm catching up to chip in terms of age

#the podcast goes slower than irl time so. eventually it's possible (in fact almost certain) that i will be older than chip #however will this happen before the podcast ends? who can say #also will it happen before he fucking dies early or something #which makes it less likely tbh #we're about halfway through the whole campaign tho i think he will make it to the end #hm #if it takes another two ish years to finish then i might have a shot at out-ageing him #unless he has a birthday soon #anyway this is so unimportant but oh well #albatross rambles #jrwi chip

I actually find it really bizarre and counter intuitive that clinically speaking, you cannot legally be diagnosed with a personality disorder until you're at least 18. The reason given for this is because "the personality has not fully developed before this age" like ???

Ah yes, my favorite strategy. Not diagnosing the problem until it's already been virtually cemented into your brain for life! Wouldn't it be easier (and more painless) to address the problem before it's fully developed?

#im also certain that the age that personality fully forms at is not a universally agreed upon number #like idk. maybe this raises less questions about age and more about the potential consequences of pathologizing personalities #it feels a little fucked up to me that some mental illness are 'just' mental illnesses while others are deemed a thing synonymous with you #and i can understand if some people with personality disorders do really heavily identify with their disorders #thats fine! #i also think the average person has a concept of personality which is relatively stagnant and thats just not realistic tbh #i mean if you think personality is stagnant then yours probably is so in rhat sense youre not wrong #but personality can absolutely change and i dont think it makes you a 'different person' #i think its a natural progression #anyways. got a little derailed but the point im trying to make is #lets find a way to give people with personality disorders a more realistic hope for recovery without invalidating them #and also lets maybe try to treat personality disorders preemptively so they don't get worse

[id: two photos of a small crocheted Night Yorb plush- a purple/blue manta ray with glowing eyes that sit at the end of its stalks- the tail is fluffy pieces of purple, blue, and black yarn that stream out behind it. End id]

Speak Not Of The Crocheted Night Yorb

I used this manta ray pattern from etsy! I had the perfect yarn for it too!!

#night yorb #fantasy high #fantasy high junior year #speak not of the night yorb #fh #dimension 20 #d20 #fhjy #i’m gonna make a chain and put it on a purse or something!!! #i made a bigger yorb too which imight eventually post #i have slightly mixed feelings #the eyes on the big yorb are a bit weird so its less cute overall #but i kinda brushed out the wings a bit so it looks a lot more like the actual art for the night yorb which is cool #i need to brush it out more but i should get a better brush for it #and like idk how to feel about the texture as its brushed #it still looks pretty cool! i just prefer this smaller one tbh

If you reblog, put in the notes what color you would call it.

#monster high #monster high g3 #clawdeen wolf #clawdeen wolf g3 #polls #id in alt #been wondering for a while what people think #its on my mind cuz i just got her g3 doll with plans to reroot it #her hairstyle isn't great either which certainly doesn't help #i gave her a new style until i can afford to get the hair for the reroot and it made me dislike it a little less #tbh idk what color to call it #its kinda mauve...? but its also not that pink #it looks pink because of the magenta in her hair #it looks like she bleached her hair then dyed it pink and this is how it looks after the pink washed out #i would really like to know the designers thought process with her hair color because it doesn't even make sense in canon #her mom's hair was legit purple and clawdeen's looks like a washed out dye job but its somehow natural...? #i kinda don't want to include the indifferent option #but its a perfectly valid opinion to have on the matter

On a slightly more serious note, I just wanna post this before the final entry, not counting the epilogue. I’m so, so thankful for Dracula Daily. It’s been an absolute blast beginning to end, reading discourse, seeing the jokes and memes and all the art, reading theories and reactions. And getting to be apart of that! Reading this book again in this format was a hell of an experience but the fact that I didn’t do it alone, I don’t know. We’ve all gotten to experience this book in a new way in real time together. I love that. And I hope that it won’t be just a one-off event, either. And even if it is? But this? It’s been wonderful. So, thank you to everyone for collectively going nuts over a 130 year old novel. Thank you for posting and making those artworks and memes and analyses. Reminds you you’re human and not stuck and alone.

#sorry for being emotional lol #but seriously #I didn’t exactly make new friends or connections #I’m not exactly someone people like seeing post etc etc #but you know what? I got to be in the same room as a bunch of strangers while we all shared an experience #on a personal note #I looked forward to DD everyday because irl I’m pretty isolated #even online I’m isolated this is my 5th or 6th blog. and it was just nice to feel apart of a group #and yeah we still have the epilogue and all but tbh #idk I don’t want it to end #I don’t wanna go back to being alone #I loved talking about this book with y’all I loved seeing your art and theories #it was exciting! #I read this book when I was 8 and my mum had never read it and my brother was too young to #so reading has always been very lonely #but this? this was amazing #and I really don’t want that to end #it’s less about the book itself and more about the people I’ve read it with #which I guess is rather at the heart of the book #dracula daily #dracula #so long and goodnight #lol

Not upset at anyone bc frankly I worship work that is body inclusive but I wish there was more chubby reader content that wasn’t like, “you’re bigger than everyone you’re large you’re big and round you’re HUGE but they like it tho :)”

#like tbh I notice that but living in my body … doesn’t really feel like that all the time #it’s not so visceral … if that makes sense? #its an odd feeling nd sometimes difficult to be bigger than people but its not…. like an illness you know? #most of the time I’m just worried abt if my pants fit alright lmfao #I don’t really care what other people see #maybe it’s because I was smaller in high school so I didn’t grow up being seen as chubby #which im lucky for bc its def a privilege #but still like. #idk. pointing it out so specifically just feels like. yeah. okay. #now that I’m older I’m less concerned and other ppl are too #caitie blabs #body image tw #fatphobia tw

Like i can vividly picture a scene where Bruce is criticizing Oliver or Clark’s interaction with their kid. They reply with something along the lines of , well your a terrible father, only to have every single bat kid yell at them like how darrreee you

1) That's so funny. I'm convinced Bruce, even as Batman, would not have the balls for that, and 2)

The batkids mere seconds after they complained abt Bruce for the 10th time that day:

#i really cannot blame clark for not being the best guardian for kon tho and i dont think ppl should be either #it's to be expected? which is another pet peeve of mine tbh -- how can you say bruce - an adult with 7 kids that he knows everything abt #is less capable than clark. who had absolutely no idea what to do with kon whats so ever and had no parental instincts to speak of #it doesn't make him BAD dont get me wrong. im pretty sick of dc acting like bad parenting is a flaw and not a choice #asks

I've seen some people making posts about bullying Ryan Reynolds off the app because they don't want other celebs to migrate here from Twitter.

Come on y'all.

Don't act like degenerates.

That is a very Twitter/"toxic Tumblr era" thing to do.

Don't act like animals. Just let him experience us in our natural habitat and if he's cool, then he'll integrate perfectly.

#tbh i kinda wish he had made his blog more on the down low JUST so this sort of thing wouldnt happen #not to mention the fact that the funnest thing about tumblr is that youre virtually anonymous #which allows many to act like themselves in a way no other site does #so its kinda sad he might not experience that freedom with his blog #unless he decides to make a side blog thats completely anon lol #but anyway bottom line dont act like children over this #the reason tumblr is so chill now is because theres less people doing crap like that on a large scale #i mean think about john green or hank or whichever green brother it was #that man was pretty much bullied off #dont be gross #ryan reynolds #deadpool #twitter

hi!! very excited about your next batch! but i was wondering if you ever think of posting some of the (wonderful) female!mav scenes you wrote (the question mark on my computer decided to stop working but this is indeed a question)

have a great weekend!!

yeah sure! again— this isn’t finished and never will be finished, I posted the reasons below. But here are a bunch of snippets from the fem!mav/lesbian charliemav AU from this summer. Would love to hear your thoughts, because politically it gave me some pause! lol.

1. On how mav survives (the central motif of the one-shot is Mav cutting her hair with scissors which is why the emphasis here)

2. On ice (straight icemav will never work because fundamentally ice is a misogynistic cunt)

3. on sex with girly girls (one of life’s greatest pleasures)

ehhh you get the picture of what’s under the cut

4. on charliemav

5. on charlie

7. The end (post Layton mission [mav proving herself by saving ice’s life] and the end of TG86, Mav gearing up to cut her hair again in Charlie’s house)

and here, copy-pasted, were the tags i planned to affix to the charliemav one-shot, which I think explain also why I stopped writing it—maverick is insanely out of character here!

“some discussion of issues that would affect a female pilot in the 1980s in this one: SA, sexism, etc. u have been warned / i would love to talk to anyone about the politics of this one cause hoo boy i had to think about it / it’s a little personal to me too / i wouldn’t necessarily say i struggle with my gender identity but i do have a really complicated relationship with it / i think this mav is incredibly out of character / it turns out mav’s thoughtless overperformance of masculinity is so ingrained into his character that / if you make it intentional he/she turns into an entirely different character. / i often struggle with writing maverick way way too bitter (there’s something very gentle about tgm mav I struggle replicating) / & this is a VERY bitter & cynical & calculating mav as well. she has to be. But i fear i lose some of mav’s original character in the cynicism. 🤷🏽‍♀️ / that’s why i struggle writing AUs—you lose so much of the original characters who are DEFINED by the stories they’re from / if that makes sense. / i think a female maverick isn’t maverick. / you might as well be writing original fiction at that point. / this 1 shot is pretty much just original fiction. / idk would love to hear ppls thoughts on the fandom philosophy behind AUs / something i would love to think about more / top gun fanfiction / charlotte charlie Blackwood / pete maverick mitchell / Tom iceman kazansky/ nick goose bradshaw / genderbent top gun / charliemav / in this universe mav and Charlie break up and mav gets back together with Penny according to the tgm timeline btw / TGM mav might as well be a lesbian like nothing really has to change in the script at all. / post 2010 tom cruise just gives lesbian. no change necessary / soundtrack for this one is ‘I have a woman inside my soul’ by yoko ono”

I also stopped writing this one because I could not for the life of me figure out how to write goose, canonically a sexist just like mav and ice. made things difficult and a little awkward

#pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #charlotte charlie blackwood #top gun #asks #oh boy lesbian charliemav though. whoa. 🥰 #would’ve been great if I could’ve pulled it off 🥲 #basically the plot of this one was maverick dealing first & foremost with her femininity #she’s not trans BUT she hates womanhood. if that makes sense. because womanhood makes people discount her #as a pilot in the manly manly naval aviator program. #her womanhood functions the same as ‘fatherly dishonor’ in the original movie. makes people discount her/him as a pilot. #so she toxically replicates the behaviors of the men around her to make her less attractive to them and less of a target #but then with the Layton mission she proves herself #and actually bests iceman (who is super butthurt about it bc woman beat him but they maintain respect) #and Charlie encourages mav to start growing her hair out etc. engaging more with her femininity now she’s proven herself. #politically a little weird! #not butch by choice i guess? which felt anachronistic if that makes sense #but fun nonetheless #charliemav #I have never seen GI Jane but this seems a lot like that based on my limited knowledge of it tbh #think i relate to mav too much in this one. #I’d like to be taken seriously as a Writer not a woman writer. so i write about men to be taken seriously as a Writer not as a woman writer #feels a lot like mav in this one

If you feel like it, Aero from rejuv? They're my favorite protag! Especially the alt outfit w shades haha

no matter what happens, the shades stay on

#pokemon rejuvenation #pkmn rejuv #KArts #you have good taste Anon #''cool guy don't look back at the explosion'' #tbh. aevis and aero alt outfits make the explosion scene in the bad timeline less...serious for me 😅 #because when Melia asked them to wake up and they did. the sprite make it look like both Aevis and Aero was fixing their caps and shades #''hold on. lemme check my caps/shades first'' #which inspired me to draw this #hope you enjoy this. anon

i have too many thoughts on the deleted jackienat scene for a girl who's supposed to be enjoying her birthday lol. i think at the root of it all, it's highly likely that when the actresses breathed life into the characters, and scenes got improvised, some things just stopped making sense for characters to do. including good things, like with jackie's 'i love you' to shauna! and i think this is the case for natalie looking at jackie with hatred before leaving her out in the cold. maybe at one point in her early stages of characterization it made sense, but clearly the people on the show didn't think that way anymore at some point, hence the cut. also ngl people taking this deleted scene, which for all we know didn't even make it into the final script, as some sort of 'gotchu' for jackienat enjoyers ( romantic or otherwise ) is weird as hell to me. like, it was removed for a reason.

#my posts. #yellowjackets #im tired and its my birthday so maybe this doesnt make much sense but #i have lots of thoughts i cant stop thinking abt this scene #a mix of good and bad tbh #but mostly watching people act as if this completely destroys jackienat is hilarious to some degree #since a huge part of their appeal has always been how similiar they are. that's what jackienat is founded on #and with that similarity comes a hatred especially since both girls have a self loathing streak #so regardless whether people view this as a huge characterization moment for nat or not doesn't change this #people seem to forget how much natalie genuinely hated lottie and was jealous of her as well! it doesn't mean she loved her any less #natalie at her core is a teenage girl like the rest of them. she has flaws and pettiness and does things she regrets. a *lot* #but on the other hand she'd do anything for travis. that's who she lives for. and the only one who helped her save him was jackie #jackie might've stolen him away for the night but the others were gonna take him away forever #which is something natalie would hate more than jackie fucking him. hell in the show she even says she could care less about the sex #she just wanted travis to be *alright.* #had natalie been in the cabin when jackie was calling the girls out for what they did last night you KNOW she would've sided with her #would she have cared about the highschool drama between shauna and jackie? who knows. #but no matter her personal feelings on jackie they had a mutual hatred and disgust for what happened during doomcoming #and i think that would've mattered more to nat at the time. in a swarm of angry feral teenagers the only one she could trust then was jacki #of course these are just my personal opinions which im purposefully keeping brief lol #but like. i just have too many thoughts on this it would take an essay to iron them out so here's this i guess!

charlie slimecicle slash lore very clearly knows codeflippa isn’t juanaflippa somewhere inside of him. the specific avoidance of questions with codeflippa points us in that direction and is further confirmed by the direct questions he asked juanaflippa today during dia de los muertos— are you safe? are you in a happier place? he’s not in any level of denial barring performative, he’s just willing to settle for a codeflippa rather than no flippa at all, and that’s paraphrased but he’s said something very akin to it out loud. plus today he realized that if the missing eggs don’t have ofrendas they’re likely still alive, and i think to some end even after really processing that his current flippa isn’t the original juanaflippa, he’d still want her around emotionally to cope with the possibility of bearing witness to everybody else’s real egg reunifications. mariana isn’t around, his entire family was fundamentally gone at one point. he doesn’t want to have nothing again. and if codeflippa leaves, he’s left with nothing. again.

#eleanor.txt #qsmp #slimecicle #this is all paraphrased bc i’m not pulling up the stream for exact quotes rn #i think it’s possible that he believed codeflippa could have been some kind of codefied alteration of the original flippa #which was an arguably realistic theory before today tbh #juanaflippa’s ghost (and the rest of them tbh) clearly aren’t frozen at the time of their deaths otherwise they wouldn’t have cracks #for another post and time but interesting choice. it will have consequences i’m sure it means Something #but anyway it’s becoming clearer that codeflippa is less a diversion and version of juanaflippa and more an imitation #something designed to look like her and (attempt to) talk like her #all of this to say. he knows what he’s doing #tl;dr: the denial is shallow he knows what’s happening and he’s consciously letting it #it’s a choice he’s actively making #‘qslimecicle is in such deep denial’ NO he’s PRETENDING he is in deep denial and YOU are buying it. like everyone else on the island #where’s the i am human i have biases blinkie. imagine that’s here too
