#and it doesnt have to take as long either

[visoceaneyes]

people masking vi choosing caitlyn over her own sister as her "choosing herself" pisses me off so bad because even the writers acknowledge that piltover is not her home...a place that will practically never feel like home for her...so for the love of christ someone please tell me how feeling so goddamn desperate to where you cling to the one person that you've grown an unhealthy attachment to because your afraid of losing them and compromising your security and actual happiness because they're all you have after everyone you love has either died or left is vi "choosing herself"

if she were to choose herself she'd have a healthy relationship with jinx and not mother her anymore, which was already happening. jinx had fully grown in her own right, she didnt need to be involved in her life the way she was before. problem solved. she can trust her sister to take care of herself and maybe even look after vi while vi figures out where she belongs. if anything the airship thing wouldve made more sense in her case, because she could find a new start outside of her oppressive city and outside of the city that grew to resent her for her choices. she would find a home of her own outside of someone who hits her and fucking leaves her to rot for 6 months because she needed her metaphorical cock warmed instead, only to never change her shitty behavior towards her but instead masking it with acts of basic human decency.

vi choosing her abuser is not her choosing herself...but ofc this fandom doesnt see vi as her own character so as long as she completes this ship thats as good as her arc needs to get

thinking about general eren and the first time he meets princess mikasa...

and honestly, it’s not a meet-cute at all. nothing soft or sweet about it, not at first.

i’m torn between two versions:

either he finds her hidden inside a wagon belonging to some marleyans trying to escape the law.

or tucked away in a shady, half-abandoned cabin deep in the woods.

either way, when he finds her, mikasa is in a thin nightgown, feeling so cold. her skin is bruised in some places and dusty, her face is pale with streaks of red (almost purpish) where the tears dried. she doesn’t speak. she barely moves. and when eren steps toward her, her body flinches back, trembling, terrified. but then his voice shifts to a softer, lower tone. he crouches, hands open, and says, “it’s alright, sweetheart. it’s alright. i’m going to take you somewhere safe. you don’t have to be scared anymore.”

and he keeps talking like that, gentle and patient, until mikasa slowly inches toward him, just like a wounded animal who wants to believe. when she finally reaches him, he wraps his scarf around her and puts his military cape on her shoulders. then he lifts her into his arms like she weighs nothing at all (and well, she doesnt because she doesnt eat properly for a long time).

and when mikasa feels the warm of sonething tender again, that’s when she breaks again, crying softly against his chest. “are you… are you going to take me home?” she asks, voice cracked and small.

eren, holding her like something sacred, says, “yes. i’m going to take you home.”

i dont know why any of you guys thought wemmbu was cooked in the tournament. not only protag plot armor (you guys seem to forget she's a protagonist, not just a POV) but also because- since the training episode- she's proven herself to last long in fights. did we forget that she fought clown for 30 minutes (canonical time- our time it was 21 minutes)?

she knows now when to back out of a fight, she KNOWS when she's cooked in a fight. there were multiple times in the tournament where she was CLOSE (god girl. PLEASE you are on half a heart for like 10 seconds in the wyll fight PLEASE) but she KNOWS how to handle her fights. mane not only taught her mace techniques, but also general fighting tips. he's why wemmbu doesn't typically take a fair fight ("fight without honor"). he also (iirc i havent rewatched that episode in a long time) has, a defense fighting style- he's meant to last. is a student not meant to take up a similar fighting style to they're mentor? or did we forget that whole episode?

yes, she didnt win, but being second place doesnt mean she's worth nothing. she fought HARD, against people whose fighting style she'd never experienced (much, in wyll's case) before. we shouldn't shame her for not winning- her final fight was against THE strongest player on the server. her POV is also KNOWN for not having a lot of victories. if she does get one, its immediately stripped from her- even in this episode, she gets through so many fights and WINS, but comes just short from the top. that IS what her POV is, that's her experience as a protagonist.

me personally, i never had faith that wemmbu would win the tournament, but i knew she'd win the fights coming to it. that's not even me having bias either, trust me. she's meant to last, she's resourceful. in ancient civ, she's down there with practically NONE of her regular fighting tech (elytra+rockets, gaps- well, there weren't a lot) but she still made due. in her finale- in the FIRST SCENE of the video- she uses her wind charges on the spot when she runs out of rockets. in her hunted episode, she flies to the cube void hole and uses her bow to boost herself once she runs out of rockets.

wemmbu is RESOURCEFUL and was meant to last in a fight- i dont know how you guys thought she'd lose.

mmmm musical cultivator shen yuan again. Feng Xuanlu, the Wind Song. He has this well-loved wooden pipe he inherited from is adoptive father that he uses on occasion. When the traveling day gets slow and he doesn't feel like singing, when he's stressed, when night falls and he's sitting around a fire with his troupe and they've all had a little bit to drink.

His hair is long and black, always tied up into a ponytail or a braid of some sort. When he's in camp he loosens it up until its splayed messily over his shoulder. He has crows feet around his eyes that scrunch up when he smiles. His eyes are bamboo green and his hands are rough and callused from years of plucking strings and work. He has scars on his back that he won't explain the origins of.

His voice is low and warm like a fire, it gets raspy in the mornings or when he's been humming or singing for too long. He speaks like there's sunshine dripping off his tongue. He speaks soft, he speaks and his voice takes up the entire room. He's spent over a decade hearing his praises getting sung and he still gets shy over it sometimes.

Whenever he goes into town he has to have at least three other musicians with him at all times -- not his decision of course, but the unanimous choice of his companions. Shen Yuan gathers admirers everywhere he goes, and his companions have long since learned that their dear friend and leader is completely unaware of it. So they have to beat off these suitors with sticks.

THEY DON'T KNOW YOU LIKE I DO

they are ignoring my big beautiful pathetic himbo wife and his cute little platypus tail that he has for some tank part reason im too dumb to understand why

[lunareel]

Made this quick edit during a drawing break as working on these pages I truly thought all the background shots would take me the longest. No it's been redrawing poses/hands to ensure they don't look awkward/clunky and getting the emotions just right.

Did also want to give a little update that the four pages have made great progress! I think all four pages should be out next week!

Please tell me what you hate about TotK

ÖwÖ !

how much time do you have? and how much do you want to read? bc i deeply hate everything about totk (for many many reasons that cant just be dismissed as just 'not my taste' or similar, i dont hate many things, very few in fact, but this game deeply and personally hurt me and my passion- it essentially killed my hyperfixation in zelda)-

what i like would be much shorter; i like the sound the parasail makes when you use it in the rain, most music, you can have more horses, the underground is .. a neat idea (but badly executed), you can FINALLY touch the dragons (and in exchange they ruined them for me ...) and uhm ... master koga is there :3

(graphics and style is basically botws so that doesnt count though i still love that and .. the designs... mostly)

the short version; the writing sucks, the gameplay sucks, except for koga theres no character that is well written or enjoyable to me, the world design sucks, theres no connective tissue between botw (which isnt flawless by any means but i love it ..... or used to love it ..) and totk beyond it being called a sequel, pretty much every single one of botws flaws was doubled down on and i cannot believe how few people actually seem to realize this?? if you cared about anything botw and like thinking about things totk will stomp you with its hefty price tag bc it makes it clear it does not care and you are stupid for caring about anything, you should stop thinking and jsut take whatever they say no matter how little sense anything makes, every even mildly interesting idea is either never followed up on/expanded or is even actively contradicted in itself (which is soemthign this game is excellent at, constantly contradicting itself in every aspect but like .. like its unaware of it) it tries to do everything and thus commits to nothing, tries to please everyone and thus comes out saying nothing and meaning nothing and doing nothing, it loooooves to copy botw but gives it a different paintjob and makes it worse but presents it as better instead of actually adressing the issues botw had, ganondorf .... oh my dear ganondorf, you deserve to be in a better game *sniffs*, i have never before felt like im being made fun of by the game im playing, but now i have-

even the short version gets long (and i didnt even go into detail or into the reasoning q-q) but boi i have so many issues with this game its kinda fascinating, i have talked about alot of it but given tumblrs search likely still sucks it might be hard to impossible to find all those older rants njskfsdbjk

(if you dont care about ... text, or stories and just play it after work for mindless fun in short bursts it might not seem bad at all but once you start thinking it quickly and utterly crumbles, you might say i care to much and well, yeah, thats how hyperfixations work and i dont choose what to focus on either lol)

for a long while i used to try and sound the most tame and nice about it all but at some point of constantly being argued with (often aggressively) back when twitter used to be usable i started to not give a fuck anymore so if this may sound harsh, i have long gotten tired of all that so now im trying to literally just speak my mind with very little "what if i sound mean qoq" filter

I thought about something the other day which I nearly wrote but I don't have the patience for- what if Mobei had a sudden epithany while snooping qinghua's house? cause obv hes gonna snoop. sqh is mad sus, and mobei has trust issues with his trust issues. but it suddenly occurs to him that the bed that he constantly steals from his little human is very much rather. luxurious. The mattress is thick and expensive, and sqh rotates and flips it frequently so it doesnt get lumpy. it has a topper(1)

(2) with cooling talismans all over it to make it a good temp for mobei any time he decides to sleep in it. the sheets are silk, soft, and light. they're in his colours. his shades. it's a huge bed- long enough for mobei to lay down fully stretched out and still have room. theres countless pillows made of whatever is best for mobei's hair. they're piled up and spread out in a decadance fit for royalty. its always clean. it always smells like him. hes never seen qinghua in it once.

(3) and surely, he must use it, right? it's still his bed, no matter how mobei frames it. But he knows what sqh smells like, and that scent has never been anywhere but in the fleeting touch of someone who changed the sheets. there's never been a lingering warmth from his humans body on the mattress. its the most luxurious, extravagant, expensive thing sqh owns. its not his. looking around the bedroom- is this his either? can he see anything that he might say with confidence is the cultivators?

(4) the answer is no. There's peak lord things in here, yes, but by the nature of being a spy, that's mobeis as well. So he looks- where does sqh sleep, if not a bed that (should? could?) be his own. The answer appears to be a cheap, small little daybed. It's uncomfortable. Mobei knows how big his human is, and this wouldn't fit him well. It's made well enough, but next to the actual bed in the room? It's a grade up from the floor. If Mobei laid on it he'd be off of it by his hips.

(5) honestly its not even good as a chair. It's uneven and kinda lumpy. There's a vague pillow- flat and showing signs of being folded often. A blanket that looks more like a repurposed curtain. It it bad so sqh doesn't lose it to mobei's wants? or worse, is it what he feels like he deserves? He already knew qinghua wasn't one to spend on himself but, he didn't think it was a possible fear of having it stolen from him. Does he have anything of his own worth having at all? Mobei doesn't know.

(6) anyway this obv leads into a comedy of errors where mobei is like. "qinghua. get into bed." and the man positively bluescreens because ??? literally how is he supposed to take that. and when he sorta makes a movement to just lay down on the day bed mobei is like. do you even fucking have any night clothes or do you just sleep like that. get night clothes. get into my bed. you're being cringe. my king with all respect due; crack? is it crack that you smoke? ))

-------------------------------------------------------

He wants QINGHUA TO BE COMFY AND SLEEP GOOD IN A PROPER BED WITH PROPER CLOTHES AND WARM BLANKETS

Knowing them both it really would take Mobei an extremely long time to figure out that wait a minute, Qinghua doesn't sleep here at all?? Especially realizing the bed doesnt even smell like him, but the thought of him trying to fix that is so cute

I can also see him just picking Qinghua up throwing him into bed, Wrapping him up in furs and blankets and then tugging him to his chest

Yes he's comfortable now

ALSO QINGHUA BEING SO CONFUSED BECAUSE HE JUST UP AND DOES THIS WITHOUT ANY WARNING NOT EVEN SAYING ANYTHING

Ah I love how Mobei shows his love by trying to take care of his scared sweaty human

whatever you do, don't think about how lana saw herself in edgeworth, ok? don't think about how she wanted to distance herself from him the moment they met because he could possibly see through the sl-9 plan and ruin everything, but she couldn't because he was kind, if not a little awkward, to her terrified sister in a case where everyone else's only concern was securing a conviction. don't think about how she brought ema to the prosecutor's office (because she damn well wasn't going to let her sister face this alone) with her hackles raised and her defences bolstered because she'd heard about the "demon prosecutor" and his ways just to realise he's nothing but a young man, trying his best to survive under the weight of his mentor's shadow and ensure justice is served by whatever means he can. don't think about how she felt later, when she was under gant's thumb and knew for a fact that all those rumours surrounding von karma's perfect record were, in fact, true and that he was using edgeworth's faith in him to fulfill his own goals. don't think about how she felt when she had to begin doing the same. or what must have gone through her head when she entered her office one morning to find a case approval form waiting for her on her desk: the state v. miles edgeworth. don't think about how she knew, once she saw the name of the prosecutor assigned to his case, that she was signing his death warrant. don't imagine what she rehearsed saying to his sister or her realisation, after his miraculous survival, why he had been so understanding of her own. don't wonder, as she did, ineffectually, if it was his competence or her fondness for him that led to his car and knife being chosen to cover goodman's murder — a second attempt at his permanent removal — and whether it was affection or guilt that made her stand by the corpse, waiting readily to be caught in his stead. don't think about how she finds out, eventually, that he is gone, in a jail cell so far from remorse, gratitude and closure that she can only sit and turn in her head distorted thoughts about luck and fortuitous third chances. don't.

Cats and Nasturtium Flowers~ something which was going to be a custom sticker sheet (for me to decorate my scrapbook with) until I realized that most sticker printing websites have like Actual Guidelines you're supposed to follow in terms of file type of the image and other things lol.. A nice picture then, I guess at least

[autisticlee]

it's so shitty and sad when people use you as a temporary way to get attention or affection and drop you as soon as they get a partner. like yeah i'm glad I was there for you when you needed someone but how are you doing to take away my friend when I also need someone and you were supposed to be that someone? why can't you have more than one "someone?" why cant we still be friends and keep what we had going while you have a partner? why was our friendship not important to you? why do you think it's ok to use me temporarily until you cam replace me with someone you deem more important? why am I supposed to be ok with that and not allowed to be upset by it? how can you become a daily or weekly part of my life that I enjoy having and then just disappear and give all that to someone else? why is the label "partner" so much more important than "friend" and you don't know how to keep both equally? why do I have to make sure you're not feeling lonely and sad because you don't have a partner, but you cant do the same for me? especially when I don't want a romantic partner? why do you not care how I feel? why don't you care that being used and thrown away hurts and crushes me just as much or more than you breaking up with a partner? why don't I deserve consistent and caring people permanently in my life, but you expect your partner to be there til death do you part? why does society in general value romance over friendship? why does everyone view people like me (who value friendship more) as clingy and annoying and a burden? why can't we normalize actually caring about your friends as much as people claim they do? why can't you show it instead of giving all your love and attention to a partner only? why cant we normalize talking to and hanging out with frien a regularly? why is talking to and hanging out with partners daily normalized, while NOT talking to and hanging out with friends for months is normalized? why is me wanting friends to be close and consistent and caring the way romantic partners are, minus the romance part, seen as weird, annoying, clingy, and asking for too much? why am i told to get used to being alone/doing everything alone? why is it wrong that i DONT want to be alone? especially in a world where everyone around me pairs off and ignores/avoids/forgets/abandons me? why does no one care how I feel and instead tell me to deal with it, when i'm trying so hard to force myself to choose to be alone, but it's not working? 😭

i like to personally think that the Lone Wanderer, obviously raised religious (christian) to some degree, had their incredulity with religion for good after seeing James die.

or maybe even after James left, and they were forced to be the Wasteland's errand person using their morals and beliefs for the good of humanity, but ultimately just being used.

faith slowly fading, turning into hatred and resentment, or maybe just a lost soul wondering why God abandoned them just like everyone else did.

im gonna be honest i need recipe suggestions bc the only thing ive been eating these past months is slop (vegetable stew or soup, basically just chopping vegetables and throwing them together)

im going to bare my soul for the worlds judgement. there is not a single skillet in this house i can cook eggs in without them sticking to it and being nasty so i dont even cook eggs anymore. i used to eat egg sandwiches but uhh i dont remember why i stopped

i do not have 'complex recipes' money. i dont have enough money for cheese. i never buy cheese, ever. and im completely serious. i have potato and carrots money.
