Something Old, Something New.
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#a-yuan#Hey now! It's been a long while since we've seen that hair style!#Something old - in the way you see a little glimpse of a boy that died a long time ago#Something new in a man who has a new direction and purpose. Somehow it is still you. But you can't ever be that *you* again.#I think grief comes from a mourning of futures we lost. We associate it with love-#-but what else do we mourn if not the future we had with them? So too do we feel grief over the future our past self once hoped for.#I love the radish extra because it is so sweet and so full of small sorrows.#WWX is as playful as always with A-Yuan but there is a constant presence of how he no longer sees a future for himself.#Be it in the way he talks about the impossibility of him having children.#Or in the way he creates this silly and artificial game of helping A-yuan grow-up faster.#It's always about the moment to moment with him. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed.#His major hubris moment has yet to come but I would strongly argue that the seeds of doubt were already gestating.#It might be a bit of a 'ship tease' moment when WWX comments that his idea kid would be more like LWJ than himself -#But I consider it to be a true (if unconscious) sentiment that he sees himself as having gone down the wrong path.#It's not a 'I want LWJ to have my kids' moment. It's an 'if I were to have kid - I'd want them to never know what I went through.'#WWX is the parent that breaks the cycle. He walked for 10km through the corpse piles everyday and by god he's driving you to school.#LWJ is also a cycle breaker parent but in the opposite direction. He packs chocolate chip cookies and extra snacks in your bag.

This past year and three months have been such an awakening for Jewish people, but one with a certain flair of absurdity. It feels like un-reality, like a wicked nightmare you can't wake up from. It's like the entire world has lost its mind and when you try to tell them this isn't normal, that what they're doing is wrong, they twist reality itself to say that no it is actually normal, it is you who is wrong. They dehumanize you, treat you as a symbol of evil and disgust. It's like we all woke up a year ago no longer humans, something else, something vile, like a bug, like a... oh. oh.
#i very much already know what the story is about#but i was thinking of how much i would like to put into writing the experience of the past year#and the horror of the world we live in and how un-human we suddenly are to so many people#(or more accurately how openly they finally are about what they've been thinking all along)#and then i realized that well the story has already been written#it's always the same#an endless cycle we can't break out of#jewish things#jumblr#antisemitism#kafka#the metamorphosis

to be honest when i see people say that "moral center" characters are boring, i'm like. well, to each their own i guess, you can have your taste and i can have mine. but also: 99% sure that's a straight-up skill issue on behalf of whoever's writing the characters you're thinking of. because when they're written well, characters at the moral heart of their story can also be interesting, complicated, evolving and contradictory, messy, flawed, in possession of Complexes, and most importantly, perpetrators of mistakes so tragic and devastating that they shape the entire narrative. and i know for a fact that all of that is true because of my best friend Lup Adventurezone
#she broke her own promise from the robot cycle!#and she knew better than anyone that she was breaking her own promise!#she said she was doing it for the greater good#but she simultaneously made a grand relic that *couldn't* be used for good#because she believed a relic used with good intentions would do *more* damage!#but then she still had to watch her own decision and own relic reduce thousands of people and their towns to molten glass!#her guilt was so unbearable that she decided to single-handedly shoulder the burden of fixing everything#only for her disappearance as a result to tear her family apart in her absence! because of how she held them together!#ms. lup i will never ever be over you#and i'm so sorry some people just don't understand you#taz#taz balance#taz balance spoilers#lup taaco

ah yes, a low birth street rat orphan boy gets taken in by a powerful and cruel master, for the sole purpose of being abused and broken, like a toy or a piece of property. The boy then takes his revenge by killing his master and burning down his home and later on becomes a powerful and cruel master who takes in a low birth street-rat orphan boy for the sole purpose of being abused and broken, like a toy or a piece of property. The boy then takes his revenge by killing his master and burning down his home and later on becomes a powerful and cruel and oh wait
#shen jiu my love they can’t make me hate you#you were always a violent creature but I never blamed you for it#you did as you were taught#how could you be anything else but a monster#oh the parallels#oh the generational trauma#you couldn’t break the cycle#and doomed a little boy like you to do the same#my baby bingge#original luo binghe#shen jiu#shen qingqiu#luo binghe#svsss#mxtx svsss#screw qiu jianluo

Y’all I’m literally never going to be okay about Simon and Betty.
Simon realising that their whole relationship he hadn’t been examining why Betty always followed him because he was too focused on his love for her and not what she really needed. Not what they both really needed.
The devastating parallel of Betty being so blindly in love with Simon that she willingly and unthinkingly always put him first. And Simon being so blindingly in love with Betty that he saw her being happy and so never thought to fucking question whether those were the right decisions to make. Enabling them every time because they were in love and that was what she wanted, right? She wanted to be with him. She loved him. She was happy. So why would he think it should be any different?
And Betty reassuring Simon that she made her own choices. That he didn’t hold her anywhere. That he never forced her to be with him, or put him first. That she made those decisions and that she didn’t have any regrets. But that they both had to let this go because as long as they were focused on each other neither of them were ever going to be able to have the life they needed.
That they had both been trapped for so long carving pieces of themselves out for other people. Betty in her blind devotion when it came to Simon. Simon in his belief that his crimes as the Ice King, and that all the ways he had let down Betty, meant the only purpose and worth he could have was in sacrificing himself for others.
That they both deserved self-possession and the ability to find autonomy and actualisation as individuals. That they deserved to make their own choices, the good and the bad, and just live without the blind devotion, and guilt, and sacrifice that was going to trap them in this loop forever.
That they meant everything to each other, but that now they needed to mean everything to themselves. That the only way forward was on different paths, but that they both deserved that. That they were able to show each other that they deserved that.
That Simon gets to live now.
I will never be okay about this show. Or these two.
#fionna and cake#fionna and cake spoilers#simon petrikov#betty grof#simon and betty#i am not okay#but I’m also fucking so happy that this is how the story ended for them#that they got to break the cycle and just fucking live for once#that there wasn’t a blame game or resentment or hatred#just an understanding that they loved each other#but that they way they both loved each other wasn’t what they needed#that letting go was the only way forward#but that they had no regrets#that the time they had was so fucking meaningful#but that it was time to move on#it was time to live

I know we talk about the Devlin house reflecting a possible future where Charles’s father killed him but have we talked about the Devlin house reflecting a possible future where Charles doesn’t break the cycle of a abuse and perpetuates it towards his own family
#this is inspired by realising that mr Devlin is listening to music that Charles likes#and yeah we get the bit about his dad destroying his tape of it#but it still puts Charles and mr devlin as contemporaries#granted Charles would probably be a tad younger but not by a ton#also this paints Charles stepping in as him taking agency and breaking the cycle in a way that he’s learned over the years of being dead#this also puts Charles’s time dead (aka time w edwin) as a net positive for his mental / emotional growth#which I think reflects Charles talking down the wwi ghost in ep1 well#nice lil subtle touch about how the boys have been good for each other <3#dead boy detectives#dbda#edwin payne#charles rowland#dead boy detective agency#payneland#save dead boy detectives#dbda meta#dbda discussion#also if ppl have talked abt this and I’ve just missed it/misunderstood it everyone ignore me pls n thx

Releasing The Curse
What does it mean to leave your comfort zone? How does working from home help our mental health? Today, let's talk about how stepping away from the traditional workforce helped me reflect on where I want to go and how I want to move.
Daily writing promptWrite about a few of your favorite family traditions.View all responses Recently, the Universe is challenging me on my self-concept in regard to independence and what it means to accept my blessings. You see, I’d spent so much of my life fighting for every little thing I have–and I am very proud of that, honestly probably more than I should be. Poverty and trauma will do…

I’ve been seeing a lot of people joke / say that V1 canonically has a uterus and while I think that is objectively funny / interesting. Are we sure this isn’t blood from the metaphorical womb of Hell?
The text reads: “#INCLUDE ( blood, formal_blood ) FROM "d29tYg==“
Include blood *from* womb. Meaning that you’re gaining blood from the womb, periods are usually a flushing out of blood / reproductive stuff not gaining. I think it would be more interesting / make more sense if they gained blood from the womb of hell.
We also know that hell is alive (see: the canonical reason why doors open/close depending on enemy spawns, the “Forces from far beyond” from guttermans terminal entry, & hell’s eye everytime V1 dies).
Along with this: the symbolism of a womb is also used in the 7-2 poem, describing the guttermen feeling remorse for its source of blood: the person inside them. We know in hell that this still rings true, and the symbolism can be applied to hell in that hell is where the machines get their blood by killing demons made of hell, birthed form hell if you will. Therefore, gaining blood from the womb of hell as you are INSIDE hell.
This would also add to ultrakill’s themes of cannibalism and cycles, see: the 7-4 eulogy and general need to consume blood. You’re eating each other, your fellow machines, what remains of your creators. And depending on how canon you think the cybergrind is / each P rank attempt is (ESPECIALLY since we see hell’s eye flash for a moment before you die) then endlessly retrying until you get it right. The fire is gone, you’re chasing phantoms, you’re chasing your own tail, eating yourself until even the sparks burn away.
And yeah, I know that in the death screen, V1’s systems refer to itself in fleshy terms like organs and limbic systems
Which is why I’m not ruling out this could be V1’s uterus entirely since we do see its systems in that fleshy context, but still I think it would make more sense for the uterus to be METAPHORICALLY hell itself
#I could go more in depth about the themes of ultrakill like how Gabriel chooses to break the cycle but I’m. tired#brace yourself more ultrakill thoughts / ramblings#ultrakill#rose talks#ultrakill spoilers#ultra_revamp#analysis

attack dogs shouldn't bite the hands that feed them
#vandermarston#john marston#dutch van der linde#rdr2#red dead#artner#im finally making the decision to vandermarston post on main bc ive seen some other ppl actively making content for the rarepair#im excited !!! i wanna contribute !!!#obligatory disclaimer that ik dutch/john are unhealthy toxic yaoi etc etc but thats sort of the entire Point#the main storyline of rdr is about how dutch manipulates vulnerable people into following him and how he wields affection like a weapon#to coerce his followers into endangering themselves so he can protect himself and satiate his greed and his ego#and he canonically has groomed john into a life of crime that john spends the rest of his life struggling to break away from#so uhhhhhhh i think of vandermarston as a natural extension of themes present in the source text.#where its about power dynamics and cycles of regret and affection and manipulation.#my intention was to frame it like that in this art piece.#lately ive been drawing hand studies and ive gotten rlly into the idea of hands as a visual motif for control and power. like puppeteering#w this art im trying to focus on johns emotional turmoil with dutch as a shadowy powerful figure that stands above him.#yknow ?????#anyways. thats my rambling artist statement on it.#totally understand if this ship makes u uncomfortable (that is the Point) but i will be posting more about vm in the future.#feel free to blacklist the tag 'vandermarston' in advance of that#art#pardner posts#🤠

its just so fascinating when people go on and on about how adults were always so nasty towards them or how scared and uncomfortable they felt in public or how they always felt so distant and alone from their families, and how they carry this hurt to this very day - only to be nasty to children, complain and mock kids who have meltdowns in public, and to never interact or genuinely love their kid family members. you love the idea of breaking generational curses in theory but lack the actual self-awareness to actually do so. truly, truly fascinating.
#cacophony of kaliya#you talk about 'breaking the cycle' but you seem perfectly fine carrying it on because u refuse to see children as people#how do you expect to respect and love your future children if u refuse to extend any love and respect to other peoples kids ?#its just hypocrisy !! plain and simple !!!

Will Pearl realize that now she, too, has abandoned someone? Someone who loves her and resents her and doesn't understand why she was torn apart and tossed aside but knows that it wasn't her fault. That her crime was loving too much and knowing too little about how things worked here. That nobody told her all alliances will one day break and only the grief and hatred remains. Will Pearl learn this time how it feels to be the avenger, the victor, the neglecter. Will she apologize and reach out, defy the standards and in doing so prove the players still have hope? Or will she do the same as was done to her, and light TNT at her feet?
#trafficblr#wild life smp#yummy yummy cycles#pearl youre the scott now !! you betrayed gem who thought you were allies for life !! to replace you with a mutual friend !!#dont you see how it felt to be scott. to know more. to be break the bond yourself#will she forgive him now? now that she knows? or will she break? will she hate him even more?#or perhaps she will be better than him. she will apologize and give gem the catharsis she was denied. and prove scott wrong.#life series#pearl i love you#pearlescentmoon#geminitay

Hi,
JIN LING IS NOT HOW AN ABUSED CHILD BEHAVES. He sasses at JC and he KNOWS he's all bark no bite. The instances of JC hitting JL in canon are EXCEPTIONAL. If JC hit JL regularly, he would NOT have said "Not even my uncle hits me!" at WWX. That shit STICKS. You are all stupid
#jc#jiang cheng#jiang cheng positive#jin ling#jl#inspired by a jc anti that crossed my “for you” tab#also personal rant ahead:#my dad hit me TWICE and i only remember one of the times#admittedly i didn't see him regularly#but TWICE. and i only remember one of those instances#my stepdad didn't hit often but he yelled#and guess what?#the instances my dad hit me are insignificant to me#i remember being upset in the moment but barring that. zero. nada. and i love him#the yelling stuck to me like a leech#so yeah. abused kids don't sass at their abuser like that#abused kids don't use “not even my caregiver hits me!” as a gotcha#jl is not the healthiest#but considering all the baggage jgy and jc have#THEY DID A GREAT JOB#AND THEY DID BREAK THE CYCLE#jl bratting off to jc who never knew how to talk to jfm#jl being spoiled by jgy who was loathed by jgs#THEY WERE GOOD PARENTAL FIGURES#jin guangyao
