Saw it was make a terrible comic day today (June 24 2025) so meet my cats
#makeaterriblecomicday2025#my art#comic#comics#cat comic#it is indeed a terrible comic#but I recently adopted these two after fostering 4 cats and missing having cats of my own#I love them both very much#They're still adjusting to the house and finding who their person is#especially Lucida Sans#But that's ok i know she had a tough start#She and Tammy came to the shelter pregnant#And from Lucida's body it seems like she had been pregnant many times#but now she doesn't have to be a mommy cat anymore#she just learned how to play and have fun!#it took her 2 weeks to learn how to play by watching Tammy play#Meanwhile Tammy has a kitten mindset#she still suckles on Lucida#the only time Tammy purrs is when she's suckling#that is#until she started recently purring when I pet her and carry her around#She is so sweet and funny#but she also jumps on my railing that overlooks the basement stairs down and its a steep fall#and I don't know how to stop her and I live in fear one day she'll slip and fall down

Charles Leclerc in Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Season 7 (2025)
#formula 1#f1#f1edit#charles leclerc#charlesleclercedit#dts s7#dtsedit#drive to survive#*#*mine: gif#s1 and 2 still clears i fear. at least in terms of charles#idk here i didn't feel i saw or learned anything new or groundbreaking?? unlike the sebchal homoerotic ferrari team briefing yknow#maybe it's bc the drivers are so chronically online and have generally built up a bigger personal brand/following#but really not much of this was new. at least in terms of charles i haven't fully watched all the eps yet#a lot of the monaco episode stuff we already saw in the canal+ documentary and then he took a lot of that and put it in his weekend vlog#so it's like. nice but im seeing the same stuff with slight variations like three times at this point?#the singapore ep was an interesting format change and obvs those friendship dynamics are genuine so it's easy & pleasant to watch#but again at least in charles's case like. nothing revolutionary???#idk i sometimes enjoy the netflix docu cinematography aspect; like there's some nice shots and juicy colours#but as a phenomenon dts is past its peak for sure. it worked in the early seasons bc of the novelty of having that much access to go bts#but now most teams show a lot of that stuff off on their socials or vlogs anyway so like. there's a lot of overlap

doing chibi is a good design exercise bc it forces u to think on shapes n essential details, essentially thumbnailing ur designs. its also a terrible design exercise bc it ends up looking cute no matter what
#dimension 20#fantasy high#riz gukgak#very specifically class swap bard!riz#fh class quangle#mm. I may need tags for all the asides Ive been doing lmao#riz's canon design is so coherent and thematically clean that I genuinely struggle to keep up...#bard!riz's whole thing is working out his identity through abject fear so it kiiiinda makes sense that hes got a different thing going#on every year I guess? like lmao the directive I go into each of these designs with changes vastly#freshman bard!riz has to look extremely nonthreatening. and also make you wanna pick him up and chuck him at a wall#annoyingly inoffensive. slides off your memory pretty much immediately. a void of an experience#crucially Does Not Show Teeth While Smiling#sophomore year bard!riz I have been keeping the like. cameraman direction for#I want him to be swimming in clothes a little bit... he kinda lands at like. 80s/90s shlocky horror protag too which I do like#bc what is season 2 to riz if not a horror story lmao#junior year bard!riz I want to be somewhere between clark kent and tintin#the journalist aesthetics is not so clear and easy to build as the detective or spy aesthetics...#but also I just. really like boy journalist lmao this is the BD blood speaking again#and! I actually do draw his hair differently than in my canon junior year riz stuff. its a bit shorter here so it doesn't#obscure as much of his face#its so funny actually going from drawing canon stuff to class swap esp. with riz bc he's smiling SO much here#and it's 100% trained like its crucial for u guys to know he is equally if not more fucked up as a bard#barely anybody can wrangle him in canon it's already been mostly him keeping himself on track. imagine if he actually learned how to act#mmm. I think these designs are still gonna soft change as I draw them. thats fine we have fun#drawing sophomore year bard!riz for those comiclets was fun as hell. I think on this factor alone I call it a success lol

The whole “be responsible not for other people’s feelings but to them” distinction is so so true… at some point you need to realize that other people’s insecurities really are their responsibility & dimming or contorting yourself to make them feel better helps neither you nor them. Firstly, bc they need to realize what they’re doing and grow up. And secondly, bc you’re not just compromising on a one-time thing. You’re comprising on who you are as a person. I don’t want to look back when I’m older and stay stuck wishing I held my ground despite people’s projections or asserted my presence more or didn’t apologize so much for who I am. I really just want to own everything (the good and bad) & continue doing what makes me happy
#This is something to bring up to the therapist for sure bc im not perfect on this yet#and i think that���s also another thing im learning to be less hard on myself for — just realizing im 21 and that having insecurities or weak#Spots still is literally okay. Making mistakes is okay. I beat myself up for this too much#I am not a horrible person for being young & learning how to live & no one will make me feel otherwise#This goes in the other direction too in the sense that I need to stop being apologetic of my accomplishments for fear of#Triggering other people’s insecurities. That is not and nor will it ever be my responsibility#I’m always going to be graceful w other people’s emotions but I’m no longer going to overcompensate bc it helps no one#And is not a marker of love for me to do so

hihi ❤️i hope this isn’t too weird a request but since I can’t really draw fanart, would you be okay if somebody wrote “x reader” fics about your ocs? 👉👈 (especially nyoka he’s 😳)
This is a strangely popular request 😭😭 Even got one last night! Again- I wouldn’t mind it and I would absolutely wanna see it if somebody did. I think it’d be fun.
A friend jumpscared me with a Nyoka one though. Commission @celesomnis for art (or @/thesilverlock) <- more utilized main.
And I’ll be honest, as far as I’m concerned the floodgates have already opened thanks to the above. I’d like to see it. I think they’d be entertaining. I kinda see that genre of stuff as it’s own lil’ niche as it is, and there’s fun in it even if i don’t project myself whenever i see em. I welcome the chaos.
#cozy ask#Tho I think the only thing a writer would lack is the ENTIRE bible of information. Which only me and kind of oddberry have.#So I can imagine fears of being OOC would supersede wanting to go that far.#But deadass that friend only had like. EARLY info and it was SHOCKINGLy close characterization wise.#Im still impressed tbh.#but im not really concerned about that sorta thing.#i would assume anyone would know what they’re in for with those xreader things#at least two folk who arent oddberry have written these characters (gen) via different avenues of learning both have managed to capture#their personality likenesses.#so i dont think there would be much to worry about.

It's taking me ages to write this chapter because every time I look through old VODs / notes to check something, I come across moments like this that make me want to lie down face-first on the floor:
[Context: Pac commits to the idea of taking the Happy Pills so he can create a cure. He's about to write a note to Cellbit to explain his plan.]
Pac: If Cellbit puts himself in this position, it's worse for everyone, because Cellbit is smarter when it comes to coming up with strategic plans, so he is the thinking mind of the Favela Five group, so if he no longer has the mind, he’s not capable of solving this whole problem, you know? But if I put myself in this position to help Cellbit so he can get the cure... You understand? It's better if I'm the bait. Right? I can't- I can't carry things alone guys, I've already lost Mike [...] if I lose Cellbit and I alone had to carry things, I won't be able to. But I think Cellbit can manage better. He is more independent, and he has Roier. He has a husband. I'm trying to– to be lucid here, understand? That's all.
Date: September 11, 2023 || Timestamp: 03:10:10
#i talk#qsmp talk#Oh Pac... :((((#I know the Happy Pills arc is soured for a lot of us (for valid reasons) but I still love it because of how vital it is to Pac's character#This arc is what solidified him as my favorite character. He was so brave and he's so full of love and grief#Aghh. Those self-worth issues man... :(((#Pac cubito I carry you in my heart forever and ever and always#fic talk#I don't know if it's funny or miserable that whenever I fact-check myself thinking#''Am I misremembering this / misrepresenting this? Is this too grim?''#The answer is no I hit it dead center#I love Pac's dynamic with all the Favela members but Pac and Cellbit's relationship dynamic has so many layers#it's fascinating to explore#Especially since in the stream before this he had a complete breakdown because he was terrified Cell was going to come back#Love and fear and friendship and anger and hate and healing...#So many layers#The murderer who once mauled him who he left to die#Now a dear friend and co-parent of his son#It's fascinating#What breaks my heart is when Cellbit finds out Pac took the Happy Pills a few days later and they have a confrontation#Cellbit tells him ''You were my only hope- the only scientific person who could create a cure; how are we supposed to save you?''#''We still had one another and now I'm alone!'' <– As always please take my translation with a grain of salt#But man. MAN.... Pac saying Cellbit will be fine he can handle things on his own and he has Roier#vs. Cellbit having the same fears of being left alone#I wonder if; even for a moment; he remembered what it felt like when Pac (e Mike) abandoned him on that Island after Fuga#Obviously he realized / later learned why Pac took the pills but AGH!!!!!!!!!! It hurts.#I wish they logged on at the same time more frequently I WISH we got to see them interact more#I can't really explore this too much in the Fit Pac fic but I am delving into it in the Pac fic#I don't think I'll go as in-depth with the Happy Pill stuff as I'm doing in this fic though. This has been exhausting. It's a heavy arc#(Stream date: September 13 2023 || Timestamp 1:34:00 for Cellbit's POV of that conversation btw)

#ok finally making a post about meds#I've not ever tried taking medication before. I was sorta raised with that classic 'dont rely on meds you have to learn to manage without'#I mean I was also raised with the idea that therapy is stupid unless you have 'real' trauma. and also like idk.#can't stay home from school unless your temp is over 100 or you're throwing up. etc. very suck it up mindset#so I was just really nervous to start. also of course worried about losing myself or whatever I know that's a silly fear but#it's also a common fear for a reason!!! anyways#so I finally was like 'I need to do something' when I realized I was so anxious I couldnt even get myself to go outside alone#like I just don't want to do ANYTHING alone to a detrimental effect. and it was butting into my ability to do my work...#for various reasons. but then ALSO adhd has been a constant issue with my work as well!#it is SO hard to write and draw on a weekly pace like I am without being able to focus#my whole life I've had these terrible nightmares constantly and I've always woken up constantly in the night#sleep has always been terrible so I've always dreaded going to bed.. ESPECIALLy because it didnt even make me less tired#it was more something that I just did because I had to.#but going to bed was always terrible. there have been times I was too scared to go to sleep for weeks on end...#I've been mitigating this for years of course. and recently I've been taking melatonin which has been helping too.#but I've also always struggled to get up. because I've always been EXTREMELY exhausted#but also anxious of what the day might bring... idk.#anyways it has all hit a point that I was like okay. I am doing as many coping mechanisms as I can. the psych said they were good too#but... it just has never been enough. it's never been enough to make me not tired it's never been enough to make me not scared#so I finally talked to the doc about it. and she was like youve def got smth wrong basically. which yah I know.. but yknow#anyways so I started taking wellbutrin. and I am so frustrated now. because it's WORKING#that constant looming sense of dread is gone. I'm excited to get up. I'm excited to go to bed BECAUSE I'm excited to get up#I feel like for years I've been holding on to the idea that I have to get up because I have to put something good out into the world#and I've been clinging to knowing that if nothing else. I am able to help other people feel better.#but now for the first time in my life I'm like. free of it. I didnt even know it was possible... and I'm so sad how much I've lost out on#and so frustrated how my whole life I've been told to put up with it and push through it. and treated like a failure for it being too much.#and just. It has only been 2 weeks. but the lack of anxiety is SO noticeable I'm so...#I'll never miss it. the adhd is still pretty present but like whatever. I can manage that better.#and I'm just crying because of all this combined.#I just. I hope I get to finally be the best I can be now. for myself but also for you guys!

Hi friends, time for my once-a-semester-ish update on my college lifeTM:
Last semester was Rough. Extremely so. I didn't know how I was going to make it through some of the weeks that I managed to get through, and it all culminated in me deleting my final paper for a really big (really difficult) class that was very important for my major just as I was trying to turn it in a little after midnight the night it was due. That was certainly an experience 😅 Thankfully the profs here are (for the most part) so gracious and kind, so I was able to rewrite the entire paper after I got home for Christmas break. That was pretty miserable, but I got through it, and I passed the class!! (barely, but I *did* pass!) I was really afraid for a while there that I would lose my scholarships, but I managed to just squeak through.
My roommate has had so many scary health situations this year, including an emergency trip to the hospital and an overnight stay there this week. I'm still processing a lot of this, so not a whole lot to say here yet.
This semester is definitely better than last semester, although my classes are difficult. I'm in two different philosophy(ish) classes, and they're definitely pushing me hard. I want to understand these concepts, and I came into the semester with the belief that it would help me a lot if I could learn to think this way... but I'm mostly just really exhausted right now and not sure if that will prove true or not.
And yet, even as tired and stressed as I am right now, I must say that God has been really kind. It's hard for me to admit lately, because I've been struggling with some old fears and questions. But as I type this out, it's the thing that is echoing around in my head -- God has been so good in certain ways, especially in providing friends and classmates who have proven themselves to be good, trustworthy, and kind. I'm so thankful for the communities that I've found here, especially this semester. I have come to love these people very much. I'm especially thankful for the community that surrounds the honors college here, and for the reading group I'm in. Both have proven to be true blessings.
Pray for me when you think of it -- especially for a specific situation that I'm trying to figure out how to handle right now, and want to grow wisely through. more in the tags.
much love - gurt
#gurt says stuff#college survival#personal#btw I'm having a little trouble with my emotions right now and would love prayer on that. it's a boy thing tbh.#this semester has in part been about learning to allow myself to admit that I have this part of myself and I need to learn how to handle it#well -- and learning how to love those around me without expecting anything from them. even when they may be difficult to love.#and how boundaries work and when and where to draw them.#mostly I'm realizing how much fear I'm still holding inside me and how I need to deal with that sooner rather than later.#and how much I /want/ to deal with it even as I'm afraid to do so.#that's all quite cryptic but I don't feel like trying to explore all my own feelings quite atm so I'm going to simply leave it there.#I'm realizing that I've slightly fallen for someone and I don't know what to do about it and I'm kind of extremely afraid.#and also a bit sad because I'm pretty sure it couldn't work.#anyway. :) love you guys. please pray for me. chat with y'all later.

wanna ask how you feel about the eridan bpd headcanon/theory(?? not sure what to call it!) you're so good at your character analysis and i'd love to see your outlook on it
Since I don't have a degree or any formal training in psychology, I feel deeply uncomfortable diagnosing characters. I've made an autism joke before but only because I'm on the spectrum. He's definitely traumatized and anxious, but I mean those as descriptors of his behavior rather than capital-D Diagnoses. I try to focus on those when I can - the cause and effect of cognition, self-image, and behavior - and those factors may very well match up with DSM criteria, but I try not to touch an actual diagnosis with a ten foot pole unless the author has explicitly stated that X character has Y condition.
#there's a variety of reasons for this#part of it is that im GROSSLY unqualified to be handing out diagnoses when it takes a full on PhD to do that in real life#part of it is that psychology is inchoate and we are still very much in murky waters#for example: complex ptsd isn't even IN the DSM yet#and iirc my therapist told me it was because theyre still figuring out how to classify it (attachment disorder? trauma disorder? etc.)#part of it is that (from my limited and undereducated understanding) there are diagnoses that you can assign by completing a checklist...#but some that require a hell of a lot more testing and ruling out other potential causes#and the cluster-b personalities are (IIRC) not even ones you're supposed to diagnose minors with#bc of fears of self fulfilling prophecy and because minors in general are still developing personalities In General#and like the fact that i can't say that with authority speaks to how unqualified i am to do any diagnosing right? hahaha#and part of it is just because like#unless the story is specifically About That and the author has stated so explicitly#i think diagnosing characters tends to put blinders on analysis#like if i were to seriously go 'eridan is autistic' then it would massively bias my reading and understanding of his character#and we have 0 indication that eridan was ever explicitly intended to be autistic or that the author was trying to do an autism specifically#that doesn't mean that the reading is invalid because like thats what death of the author means#all readings are technically valid including stuff the author didn't necessarily intend#but that's just not the way i like to engage with media and not the way i like to approach character analysis#because PERSONALLY it just feels kind of reductive - but also -#i'd wager MOST of us don't have degrees in psychology#so when i say 'X character has Y condition' it might mean something totally different to somebody reading my analysis#even people who have Y condition aren't exempt because a lot of mental illnesses differ from person to person#whereas if i explain “X character has Y thoughts and Z behaviors” there's no ambiguity in that#eridan struggles with noticing that people are suffering and with realizing that he should care#at least part of this is due to his horrific murder-filled upbringing which rendered empathy a detriment & so he learned to ignore it#it could be autism - but it could also be trauma -#or he might just be Like That without actually meeting the diagnostic criteria for autism#& you can't even technically be diagnosed with C-PTSD#or maybe he has a burgeoning personality disorder but you aren't supposed to DX those too early anyway#or maybe hes just 13. see what i mean hahaha. ive reached the 30 tag limit

theres something in me that wants to write the exact same au shifted slightly to the left 48269484 billion times
#i don’t post much abt how much i love tIou cause i don’t like a lot of the fandom (lots of x readers… which is 100% fine and tbh i highly-#encourage it if it makes those people happy it’s just not my style… also a lot of ppl are Weird abt certain things… and also it just has -#the curse of Any popular media having a specific kind of fandom WHICH IS FINE!! but not my style….)#and i also have a really weird fear that i will be lambasted for liking it? but#GOD I RLLY LIKE IT UNFORCH… yes i think some things could’ve been handled better yes i have gripes about both the game and the show adapta-#tion…. BUT I RLLY LIKE IT A LOT I FEAR…. it’s just pandered 2 me in a really evil way (some1 born in the south who grew up near-#wyoming + jackson hole alllll the time because the guy who raised me always brought me 2 yellowstone….. road trips r my one true love in-#this life… also i am unforch. the easiest person to Get with the dadification trope 4 obvious reasons…)#and handled some very specific topics esp in the first game/season that hit really close 2 home 4 me.#AND SO i keep thinking abt making another pd tlou au that follows the first game/season almost exactly with maybe a few tiny changes#ie only the ones i’d make to the og story itself… bizly announcing the upcoming tIou video really did a number on me#i really wanna write that too even if i never post it because i could literally Hear mark and dakota thru out some parts of the game when i#rewatched a play through and also as dear as hamartia is 2 me it has the curse of any project i work on long term which is i have Improved-#and also was struggling a lot w quality vs on-time posts and so i’m wildly insecure abt it…#so i think it’d be cool to re explore the au with what ive learned from the last year of working on hamartia…#but. i also feel weirdly evil bc someone else has already posted 2-3 oneshots of a tIou au with rlly similar character placements…#and while i havent read them + didn’t get the idea from them i still feel super paranoid that ppl would think im copying … idk#something something Holy Shit !

many things i have been keeping under wraps at work, such as pronouns, but also, very critically, age. bc i got that ageless mixed race asian swag where i am very clearly not an undergrad but also??? they just don't know. and it WHIPS and it is so funny to ME because all the managers and shift supervisors are like damn this girl in her mid-twenties is so easy to talk to, it's like talking to a peer. surprise bitch i'm older than you. and maybe this means i'm performing psychological experiments on cis men, but i am ngl if i hand you a two page resume that you don't read, it is simply none of MY business if you think i am in my mid-20s. they are going to be so mad when they find out lmao
#mild work crush i fear....his undefinable possibly autistic certainly overworked jock swag has captured the nation#i can't remember if he was the one who jumpscared the managers by just randomly showing up with a wife and baby one day#when they thought he was a confirmed bachelor#it might have been the other shift supervisor who hates talking to people#it def wasn't the business school supervisor bc that guy is tasing himself recreationally while getting an mba. idiot <3#i love my job it is so boring and so entertaining at the same time. it's like the perfect balance of annoying and enriching#i wrote an entire fic at work once. and was still able to do everything i needed to do. and heard an absolutely bananas story#from the housekeeper about suing the city#i love the housekeeper every 3rd word out of her mouth i'm like ma'am are we allowed to say that in 2025 😭#i wish i could work there forever but i cannot. and when i quit the fic and/or zine i write/make about is going to go CRAZYYYYY#i think i text like 5-8 different people at least once a week about stupid shit i witnessed at work and the hot guys also#cannot forget the hot guys. so many hot guys. and they are all so stupid and annoying and sometimes charming also#i wish i could wear shorts to work bc my ass looks great rn from strength training#unfortunately my uniform is athleisure wear that doesn't fit and a free flyers sweatshirt that also doesn't fit lmao#when i learn to dress myself. it's over for you hoes#was talking to my strength trainer this week bc they asked if they could use me as a case study for trauma informed something#i kind of wasn't listening bc i just started talking immediately about the emotional effects of not having severe chronic back pain#and now being stronger has made me at its very base just more confident and kind to myself (inasmuch as i'll ever be)#bc i know my body better and i'm not scared of it and i can predict how it moves and i can trust it in ways i could not before#just from not knowing it? like even beyond the chronic pain i just did not know how my body moved and what it was capable of#& how one thing that is so silly but so nice is the feeling of being attractive as MYSELF for the first time in my life and not just#a vehicle for everyone to project whatever weird mpdg stuff on. and it's NICE and it's FUN that i know how my body moves as itself!!#like idk is finding confidence in my body the poetry. the strength training. the being in my 30s. the being too tired to care anymore#WHO KNOWS. none of my business#in conclusion. i would love to say i haven't been having a five stage mental breakdown all week but i have but i think it finally resolved#and now i have a new bed courtesy of sierra and kelly!!!!#and after i find out how much i owe in 1st/last month's rent? it's cricut time#ok good night#fresno oilers.txt

misophonia + sensory issues are torture. i'm so tired of all of this.
#misophonia#i'm so tired of being so triggered by sounds. can't function day to day without plugging my ears 98% of the time#trying not to relapse in sh and skin scratching but it completely fell through over hearing a spoon hit a glass bowl#i think dealing with noise triggers is one of the hardest things to cope with. i just cannot do it#i've tried watching mukbangs & people using utensils my whole life to adjust and “get over it” as so many have told me to#but oh my fucking god i can't i want to smash my head into a wall until i can't hear anymore#i've spent so long isolating and avoiding everything just so i can't hear trigger noises#even in therapy my therapist played audio that triggers me & tried to do tapping exercises to help#but i fear i'm doomed#i wanna vomit tbh. this makes life hell. it makes me feel so stupid#also makes me feel childish with people because their responses are always like “you should have grown out of this by now”#because my whole life it's been “you'll grow out of it” i genuinely looked forward to that day where i would grow out of it....#desperately couldn't wait for my time but now since being diagnosed with autism + adhd & learning more ik it's just stuck with me#i can't grow out of neurodevelopmental disorder or symptoms. i have sm grief w this diagnosis bc it can't be 'fixed' i thought everything#could be fixed one day... even seeing certain movements triggers hearing the sound in my head when it isn't there. i can't rest.#repetitive movements also bother me and make me want to rip my hair out#like i wish my brain would chill and give me a break. i try so hard to mask everything too around people but i still fall through so much#it's so exhausting#i'm so frustrated and tired#i want to throw up.#i also despise when i've communicated this to people close to me & they'll say they understand + tell me their triggers to relate to me...#then when i have to hang up out of panic on a call... or put my earplugs in in front of someone while talking.. meltdown.. or walk off-#i'm then met with confusion / irritation / anger despite communicating a million times#people are valid to get tired of me over these things. i get that. it's excessive & frustrating. i'm tired of me + these issues too.#but i wish people that said they understood... really did.#i've been called dramatic for years and yeah it is very dramatic. it's fucking awful and has ruined so much for me.#i have huge emotions over it. i'm glad people can brush it off as dramatic and not personally deal with it.#i just laugh and claim the dramatic title a lot of the time because those who say it just really don't understand. it's lonely. i'm so alon#always will be.#tw vent

Wonder when he made the connection that Kars is just kind of shit socially
#probably earlier in the story than THIS. this is like. chapter 12 shit. maybe chapter 14.#you can imagine it anywhere you want I guess. hi did you know I really like their relationship.#Jorge fans if you’re seeing this tell me if you want me to post screenshots of my little ramblings on the relationship between Kars and Jorg#because I’ve gone off about them but only on discord. they are so interesting to me.#Jorge joestar#Jorge Joestar novel#with their species barrier too. although that gets more into headcanon territory.#Kars’ lack of personal space likely brought on by his loneliness. his isolation.#him ignoring Jorge because he’s thinking or likely doesn’t know how to react to some of the things Jorge says.#the way he’s *aggressively* friendly. and in a subtle way. to me.#Jorge being friendly back too. they both talk each other up and even still Jorge wonders if he can be friends with Kars because of the#species barrier. they are sooooo interesting to me.#also of course with Kars’ having two adopted children and Jorge being adopted himself. there’s something there.#Jorge also managing to impress Kars (I say like that’s impossible—but to Jorge#he might think it is.) and Kars learning things and becoming a little less cynical about humankind.#he’s spent so so so so so so much time building up hatred. and then Jorge is polite to him. first out of fear. then because he felt safe.#guys they’re so fucking interesting. read Jorge Joestar. but like find content warnings first.

I've never gotten being made uncomfortable or being freaked out by an animal as a basis for disliking them.
Irrational phobias aside, what's it matter? Does that stop them from being cool? interesting? Having unique traits and biology? I find the more an animal freaks me out the more interesting it is! The deep sea and many of its inhabitants freak me the fuck out but I love them. I'm scared of baleen whales but why should that mean I hate them? Should we bring whaling back into vogue because I felt scared when I googled 'blue whale'? No! So why would this not apply to things like wasps? Or leeches? Sure, they aren't mammals like a whale is, but they're still fascinating creatures with their place in the ecosystem, and they want to hurt you just as much as a whale does.
#which is to say not at all. they just want to live.#fear=/= morals as ever#anyways i find wasps so cutes and leeches charming#get behind me hymenoptera. get behind me!!!!!!!#just. AUGH. i HATE THAT PEOPLE WILL BE SLIGHTLY SCARED OF AN ANIMAL AND WANT TO KILL IT!!!!!#ITS SUCH A JUMP!!! FUUUUCK!!!!#I'm trying to sound reasonable in the post but honestly and genuinley it makes me really ffffucking angry at how little respect and-#perspective people have and how much they centre themselves and their comfort#not to mention the mammal-centric bias. like I'm a mammal liker. bats are hardly super beloved but they still benefit from being fluffy#but god. mammals aren't the most important fucking animals on the face of the planet!!! you have to learn to if not love then respect the-#little guys!! the bugs! the microoganisms! the weird slugs! the oozes at the bottom of the ocean!! the plants!! the fucking plants! fungi!!

idle thought: is the entire plan with the bedrock prison just. too noble to ever work on ls. like, even in a perfect world where zam was into it or not on the team at all and they went through with it-- and even if they found a way to make it not like. forever solitary confinement (or like even if its not solitary i mean like-- a box with nothing in it that MAYBE periodically feeds you even if other ppl were there youd all start loosing it sooner or later i feel like). like even if the prison was ethical and noble and just and the plan worked perfectly: would that even be lifesteal.
like idk i just got here yk like i feel like i dont know enough to be making broad sweeping statements about what lifesteals Like but also like. its all about Trying. its all about Caring and Trying and Trying Shit Out and Doing Shit and for anything to matter at all you NEED a villain or theres nothing to push against.
like, in grendel by john gardener the dragon tells grendel that he Exists to torment herot, that he was born to be that which the men push against. it's a core theme of the book: grendel is predestined for hell. even if he wanted to be friends with hrothgars ppl he COULDNT be, he is very literally and TEXTUALLY trapped by the narrative.
if grendel disappears, or goes away or gives up his war before beowulf kills him, thats it. theres no grendel. theres no BEOWULF. there are, essentially, three core parts of beowulf the epic poem: the fight against grendel, the fight against grendel's mother, and the fight against the dragon. without the first the second and third cant happen. without grendel to push against, the danes are nothing.
if vitalasy's prison worked, and no one ever did anything evil or tyrannical ever again and no one thought he was evil because they all read his intentions perfectly and Got It. what would happen on lifesteal with no one to push against.
a few months ago, before he lost the mace, before subz dropped his wardens, in like late february-early march, there was a mapicc clip i saw where he said something along the lines of, at least if zam were on the server he'd give me an opp. server activity was low, everyone was doomposting about the season needing to end, and mapicc needed someone to push against.
i think even if vitalasys prison worked, it goal would not have been achieved. server activity would not be up. conflict ending means no more reason to play on the server-- mcrp NEEDS player-vs-player conflict to function or it stops being lore and becomes a mod video. i dont know what phases 3-5 were, i'm not there yet, but i'm really really interested-- i think vitalasy has a video on it and ill have to check that out probably today. idk. its just interesting to think about esp since im trying to figure out howd id fix this if i were to hypothetically write a fix-it au. i think the prison would fail.
#idk if this makes ANY sense but im watching the zam vod and he said smth that made me think of greatest book of all time grendel by john#gardner so !#anyway if im misrepresenting vitalasys plan here feel free to burn me at the stake or wtvr#as needed. this isnt crit btw i think its AWESOME i just really reallg love grendel by john gardner#which has a LOT to say abt the narrative necessity of a villain#my thots#bee liveblogs!#lss4 vodwatch#ok autism abt grendel following this point bc for the sake of brevity i didnt touch on whats actually up w grendel and narrative destiny as#much as id like to since the specifics arent rlly relevant to ls for obvious reasons#bc grendel much like s4 exists TEXTUALLY on two levels: a narrative level as discussed & explained by the dragon (who is himself a symbol#for christian god)#or sorry *a narrative doyalist level as per the dragon#and a literal watsonian level as actually experienced by grendel until he meets the dragon and learns abt the doyalist metanarrative and#starts noticing it (specifically any time his doom approaches he smells the dragon)#o btw in case anyones unfamiliar w grendel and/or beowulf beowulf is an epic poem wherein beowulf kills grendel and grendel is a 1974ish?#iirc? book which is basically the grendel pov. ok anyway#so on the metanarrative level: grendel can never no matter how hard he tries befriend the men because he is the monster that beowulf has to#kill. beowulf already killed him centuries before the book was written its already happened#hes bound for hell because when christian monks wrote down the story they made his father CAIN FROM THE BIBLE there is no where else he can#go!!!!#and on a watsonian level: he is (for reasons wholly outside his own control) big and scary to them. he is smarter than they are but is#as incapable of learning their language as his mother is of learning his. he has never spoken to anyone in his life and these people have#spent their whole lives learning to fear the unknown#like. ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. and still he tries!!! but they take it as attack when he brings the body of their comrade to their doorstep#bc how else could they take it? its neither their choice nor his. its predestined.#grendel has a lot to say about predestination presumably bc when john garden was like 14 he accidentally killed his brother with a tractor#anyway. im done now i prommy 😭 ider what the post was about i just really like grendel lmao
