#yet gets less criticisms

[barblaz-arts]

When Gomez Addams obsesses over his tol goth wife who he calls a million pet names, everyone calls them couple goals. But when a gay lil angel does the same thing for her tol demon gf suddenly it's toxic? As if Charlie isn't such a huge enough sweetheart to deserve having someone fawn over her anyways.

#hazbin hotel #chaggie #Vaggie's love is just Addams levels of DE-VO-TION now leave her alone #charlie morningstar #vaggie #there are ton of other het ships out there with one person being overly obsessed with the other #in much bigger scales than vaggie does #yet gets less criticisms #anyways #my art

I feel like the Otohan situation on a viewer level is very much not taking into account the fact that maybe she was boring to us, the audience, but I KNOW INTIMATELY that feeling of dread on Marisha’s face every time she yelled TRESHI SCRY BALL, like you have not experienced true fear like barely escaping an encounter with an OP Mook that’s going to take your ass down and how exciting/terrifying it is every time they show up no matter how unimportant to the plot they are. Like that was for THEM.

Anyway I swear I’m done having opinions on something I don’t actually care that much about because whatever it was, it was good and the players were emotionally compromised by it in the best way, but lol it does seriously remind me of my gaming days. I have been in that fight with that asshole and I was scared and had fun and had some of the most epic moments from it.

#shout-out to Anderson from my home game who was nowhere NEAR the big bad of the campaign #and in fact had less to do with the main plot than Otohan does and yet EVERY TIME that asshole showed up was my favorite moment in the game #except the time I failed a spot check and arrived to the fight with him late and didn’t get the killing blow myself #shit HAUNTS me #critical role #cr spoilers

Hi🙂 I have a question. A documentary about diru after 20 years has been available on YouTube for a long time. "Documental of dir en gray 20 years" Could someone make subtitles? is there a translation for it? do You know anything about it? It's great to look at them and listen to them, but it would be even better to know what they say🤔

I can't remember anybody translating it all, and I'm not good for spoken Japanese most of the time. It's funny to see them react to them watching their older footage though!

#still bewildered that sunkrad allows people to upload entire DVDs even a knot exclusives #and yet we get criticized by some fans once in a while for sharing less imposing content #the members themselves only seem to care about their online fan club content and that their merch does not get resold

If I think about Hesh for too long I think I’ll burst into tears. This poor fucking guy. He has to sit helpless while a monster forces his little brother to shoot their dad. All he can do is scream. And when it comes time to kill that monster he barely makes it out alive, and then only thanks to his little brother. And the nightmare is over but it isn’t because the monster cannot die and takes away the only family Hesh has left. He has to sit helpless while the monster drags his little brother away. All he can do is scream.

His story ends bleeding and orphaned and alone.

Here’s what I take from the critical role season 3 dilemmas (and I’m intentionally reading and projecting as far into everything as possible based on what I personally spend my days worrying about):

I don’t think religion in cr3 is a metaphor for real life religions at all. The gods in DND are much more present and directly impactful than real life religious figures in modern life.

The gods in DND / this campaign are basically Greek gods and are a metaphor for power structures (and maybe rich people or celebrities- super powerful people who can essentially make or break your life).

As a society we are at a turning point where people are (or seem) more discontent than ever, genuinely debating if existing government organizations and other powerful figures do anything positive for them, or enough. An immediate follow up to any conversations that conclude “no, they don’t” is: what to do?

The largest fear of any following conversation is: if we did do anything “against” those figures, what happens? How afraid of chaos are we, and how afraid should we be? How much do we take for granted? Is replacing the powerful figures with new individuals or enough, or is that approach cyclical and hypocritical? How comforting do those familiar figures and their security become when you wade a few steps into a challenging and maybe hostile future? What is the moral action if the system in place is bad but the alternative is also horrible? Can positions of power be overthrown and not replaced? If so what does the world look like? Is it worse, better, or different? Can you intentionally turn over one system to another, or do you have to tear the first one down and see what happens?

And all of those are just discussion of the ends. I appreciate Ashton’s comments so far regarding the means.

Anyway this is a huge reach but it’s how I can frame the discussions from this campaign to make the most sense for me.

#contemplating the existence of loving yet uncommitted relationships. relationships of mutual convenience not romantic but still not platonic #tag talk #like. I want intimacy. I want to love and be loved. but the usual understanding of that is that you are committed. you are locked in. #taking a break from a relationship is code for “we're breaking up”. there's is no getting out without destroying the bond #I wonder if the classic Tom Cruise c love a woman but next movie she's dead“ trope could be seen as a version of that. #a socially acceptable way to love someone until you're done and then move on to the next thing. #a lot of my hookups have been a one time deal even though I would have liked to see them again. because they got too attached. #people see love and presume romance. people see openness and presume emotional connection and commitment. #if your friend is having a rough time and needs to disappear for a week. that's okay. but a partner suddenly can't. #there's less permissable distance in a romantic relationship. #why can't I do the classic spaghetti western thing? ride into town. help out and be appreciated for it. and then leave when I feel it's time #cue that magnificent seven quote that's like “cowboys are like the wind and farmers are like the land”. there are different ways to live #and social interaction is a numbers game. meeting people until you finally find someone you're compatible with. #and the more particular or non-standard you are. the more your success pool narrows. or at least that's how it feels #I know the reality is that there's more relationship diversity out there than it seems. because divergence is suppressed and hidden. #but that contributes to it being harder to find. more difficult to seek. more culturally shameful to pursue. #I don't think I've ever seen a fwb relationship in media that's not either played for laughs or turned into a romance eventually #the classic “men want fwbs and women want a committed relationship” ☠️ it's not a concept that gets taken seriously. #I just.. ugh.

keep saying i don't want 2 work another retail xmas but canNOT 4 the life of me make myself finish my goddamn fucking job applications !!!!!! death & dying & despair etc. etc.

#i dont dislike the application process for gc jobs on principle BUT #it does not mesh well w/ my difficulties re: starting & finishing tasks #but like i understand why u cant just send in a resume n hit done #NOT that there are many IT listings up atm...... and ill apply 4 clerical/admin stuff too #but an IT-1 STARTS a good $10k a year higher than a CR-5 soooooo :/// #which is whatever its fine money isnt everything!! ill gladly make less if it means not hating my job!!! #but i also wanna. u know. LIVE. move out of my parents house. buy brand name snacks occasionally. maybe -gasp- go on a vacation #(not 2 say i dont make an attempt at travel now but thats with very finite savings that are def only going down not up) #also extremely frustrating 2 me the emphasis put on having a degree that completely locks me out of certain job categories #like. yes. there are for sure some where having the bg knowledge is important eg. an AU (auditor/accountant) or MA (methodologist) #and there are certain skills a degree (in theory) provides eg critical thinking research etc. #but not all of us have $40k+ to get tge fancy piece of paper saying we have those things. and u can have those skills w/o a degree #and smth like an EC which needs a degree in economics sociology or statistics is so arbitrary #and maybe not necessarily actually based in the majority of work done by the majority of positions in that category #ANYWAYS not me being bitter abt education standards YET AGAIN lol #idek if i could go to uni even if i could afford it. even tho i have 2 college diplomas id probably have 2 redo my grade 12 english 😶‍🌫️ #also if money were no object id probably go for like. film studies or smth lol not sociology #tho. ngl. if i had the willpower and determination 4 smth so rigorous (i 100% dont) accounting does seem. interesting asdffhkkfdghh #ANYWAYS pt. 2 all this 2 say this is why i instead spent $10k+ on the only possible 2 yr diploma #that can still get u in2 the higher paying public service jobs. even tho ive discovered i Dont Particularly Care for programming. :( #thats an understatement actually i was actively in hell for like 80% of that program and the remaining 20% mostly wasnt coding

Actually there is one thing I may legit start doing once I have my social anxiety a bit better tamped down on is when someone's telling me how their kid's just kind of a bum who doesn't have a job and hangs out in their room all day (why the fuck are you telling a stranger, once it was a nurse telling me this stuff and it's like... that's real messed up you're badmouthing your kid to a patient)

I think I'm gonna try and hit them with a "sounds to me like they may be depressed" (cause... it does)

Gonna take some work to feel like dealing with this stuff, but... I think I need to start basically trying to sound sympathetic to the parent, while also reframing it as "it sure sounds like they're struggling and could really use some support right now"

Cause once again... that is literally what it sounds like to me

You fools, you've got no idea you're talking to a fucking worthless loser. I will always go to bat for the isolated fuck up who can't get a job, cause that's just me. Don't bad mouth your kid to someone that's got more in common with you kid than with you, I know what it feels like to be in that situation, I'll always go to bat for them and think you're being a cry baby and need to grow up and actually parent

Idk why but I’m thinking about people’s arguments of ‘well Vickie’s a side character’ to a person liking vickie and liking rockie , and it’s like so weird considering that fandom literally loves to hyper fixate on side characters. And they have fixated on other side characters for less!! Sometimes they get half the screen time vickie did and yet fandom goes fucking wild!!! And I’m not just talking about st : I’m literally talking about any fandom ever. We go fucking wild over side characters it’s literally what fandom does.

#stranger things #stranger things fandom critical #idk it’s just so fucking weird considering that people like other side characters and yet vickie is the only one who gets this argument in #this show about how ‘well she’s a side character so obviously people aren’t going to be invested’ #girl people have been invested for less in side characters and I should fuckong know #supernatural legit gave some of their side characters barely anything and yet we ate that shit up : we went crazy #real Jessica is only there in the first ep and has like maybe 10 minutes : 20 if I’m being generous #and a few of those moments are literally her dying!! #and people created a whole ass backstory for her! #literally the thing you’re saying is what fandoms love to do!!!! fandoms love looking and creating stuff for side characters #ITS WHAT FANDOMS DO

not the person in the notes of that last post going "some syndromes render your life literally unlivable" and then listing two conditions that people are literally living full adult lives with...... ok go tell them their life is unlivable. i don't think they'd agree.

#also one of them was harlequin ichthyosis which to me personally is the insane success story of modern medicine #(it was basically always fatal within the FIRST MONTH of life #and then with a LOT of very intensive modern medical care they could get infants through the critical period #and it turns out that after that period it usually evolves into a less severe form of ichthyosis #that still needs constant medical attention but is more manageable #like is that not fucking insane to you. because it's insane to me #WIKIPEDIA HAS A SENTENCE READING ''the maximum lifespan of patients with the new treatments has not yet been determined'' #do you get it. the maximum lifespan used to be measured in weeks. #and now? most of the oldest people with harlequin ichtyosis are CURRENTLY STILL ALIVE #the oldest ever died last year and she was 51 years old #sorry i am. so emotional about this all the time. god i fucking love modern medicine.) #anyways this was actually a person agreeing w/ the post so just remember to check ur thought process sometimes

logically i know that jawnbie has very little fan content because he has (proportionally) very little screen time compared to other characters in the red dead franchise... but consider the following:

- i think he's hot

- i think he's interesting

- i think he should have more fics/art/gifsets

#jawnbie tag #pardner posts #im trying to spend october 2022 on a thanos ''fine i'll do it myself'' jawnbie fan content kick #but i still wish undead nightmare had a bigger fandom #undead nightmare isnt obscure persay but the fan content is certainly a lot more sparse than I'd like it to be #especially compared to the juggernaut that is the rdr2 fandom #like . dont get me wrong. i love rdr2. rdr2 is my absolute favorite game. rdr2 is a masterpiece and i know why it has a massive fandom. #but i primarily view fanon as a way to engage with and rectify parts of a canon text #and rdr2 is just...... so insanely perfect and well written that i feel like fanon content for rdr2 is much less ''needed'' #... if that makes sense?? #undead nightmare is a deeply fun and enjoyable game but its also got a few interesting concepts left open ended #which is why i feel undead nightmare is a really good potential sandbox for fanon #like... what happens in the second apocalypse? does it ever end? #how does John's condition (hashtag not-like-other-zombies) affect him emotionally and physically? #do jawnbie and jack ever find each other and reconcile? #undead nightmare is one of the most critically acclaimed dlcs of all time and yet the fics/art/gifs are scarce #((part of this is probably bc the average undead nightmare enjoyer is a gamerbro who doesnt engage in fandom)) #like please.... undead nightmare is so fucking fun to play but also PLEASE.. i need more fan content to fill some gaps #ah anyways . im rambling again. dont mind me. #red dead #rdr:un #john marston #🤠 #howdy halloween

Me, minding my business:

My gremlin brain: okay but like, Fai D. Fluorite CLAMP and Caleb Widogast Critical Role are basically the same character in different flavors: both are studious wizards with false names (that essentially become their real ones with their found family+traveling companions knowing them by the false names) running from their past and hide their true emotions, you've got very Plot Important space-time magic involved in their backstories which involve one of the primary antagonists seeking the use of said space-time magic for Nefarious Purposes that affects the main story and the main party doesn't know about until late in the story, those primary antagonists involved in the deaths of their family and placing blame on them/they feel immense blame from it, having at some point some kind of alliance with that primary antagonist who has psychologically manipulated them, their backstories being ANGST CITY BABEY, they are Not Straight and finish their respective series in a m/m relationship having grown hair long enough to put in a ponytail
