#i'm fully transitioning

[unblissfulawareness]

I’ve decided “you stole my girlfriend” was Ray’s way of saying “you forced me to address my bisexuality and I panicked.”

“I dumped her two weeks later” was Schwoz’s way of saying “I’m not bringing her back so take it or leave it.”

it's been awhile since I've worked on this project! I've had this verse finished for months but didn't want to post it on its own, and instead wait until the whole thing is strung together to show the final result all at once. But I'm tired of holding onto it, so here is one section of my deltarune animation! My art tag has other clips if anyone is interested in seeing more~

CW : MALE PRESENTING PREGNANCY in the True Detective universe, lmfao so there's another user on this site in the true detective realms who I've seen like, in adjacent passing, on reblogs of other posts talking vaguely about Marty accidentally getting Rust pregnant in 2002 and I've had to pause on this one and contemplate it for a minute because I'm kind of obsessed with it. back in yons years of 2014 and 2015 "mpreg" was obviously not socially acceptable fodder in fandom and it absolutely would NEVER have flown in TD circles, considering half the fandom base at that time would get pissy and ants in their pants just over retired Rust and Marty kissing or having a cat. anyway.

I don't want to steal the other user's AU because I truly know nothing about it or the origins, it may have even been on discord for all I know, I've just seen them mentioning the most basic concept in Tumblr tags. but my mind immediately went to like...Rust hiding a pregnancy from Marty leading up to their fight in 2002, the fight happens and then he REALLY refuses to tell him, and then fucks off to Alaska without telling him about the baby. just to have the kid and raise it without telling anybody out of pure anger and spite. and it fits seamlessly with the 'time is a flat circle' theme because here's Rust, raising a child on his own in the Alaskan wilderness like his Pop did before him. everything we do, we are doomed to repeat again and again, etc.

all this to say, when Rust comes back to Louisiana in 2012 [within the context of this AU] with or without a nine-year-old in tow, the stakes are obviously way different. and he really has to make sure Marty is on his side before he even breathes a single word adjacent to this child's existence. but when he confirms Marty's on his side, and Marty proves his loyalty, and the kid is in safe hands while they finish working the case together...? oh. imagine the introduction. the drama 💋🤌 delicious middle-aged fatherhood 2.0. not even speaking on the part where Rust is the world's most traumatized parent after he lost Sofia at a young age and would lay down his life in a heartbeat for this kid he had with Marty

Mr puzzles is transgender, not necessary because he changed from his aassigned gender at birth, but because he transitioned into being a TV head, which is arguably cooler, this is my new transition goal.

Amouranth: ...What happened to the dumpy? Oh, I guess that was Carrera (Carre).

Amouranth: Ruben, why do you– why do you look like Shaggy mixed with Peter Pettigrew? What happened? [She keeps going back to the picture and staring at it with growing concern] This is a pass– this picture is a pass! Wtf...

Rubius only has 3 looks: magazine model, cosplayer, or gamer shrimp.

I've talked a lot about how Ángel doesn't have solid morals and he only is forgiving in theory but taking into account how Cherub is basically corrupting him to the point when even she can't believe the things he's saying

Then MAYBE he did have solid morals at some point, and what we are seeing is just him justifying the person he is becoming because he can't recognize he's stopping to believe in them. Idkkk

theory about Illi McMillin I think makes zero sense, but here goes:

Illi is one of the demolition lovers.

Either one can work here (for now). In terms of the music video's story, I'm Not Okay doesn't quite fit within the overall story of Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge and the Demolition lovers. However, since I'm Not Okay takes place in high school years, and the demo lovers are young adults at the very youngest, we can infer this as a flashback rather than something in current time.

Additionally, Illi has been shown to repeatedly be persecuted by students and teachers alike. Whether because they're a delinquent, because they're queer, or something else is debatable. However, they've even been told they wouldn't be able to make it, possibly numerous times with "I don't want to make it".

This strongly mirrors The Demolition Lovers: law-breakers who would always be hated by the world, regardless if they followed the rules or not. Neither of them would make it. But did they ever wanted to make it in the first place? Along with the Male Demolition Lover specifically being directly implied to queer, and the seemingly void information about the Female Demolition lover, Illi could've grown up to be either.

However, I have a strong feeling it'd be the male demo lover Illi grew up to be. Closeted, and shunned. Add to lyrics such as "I bet you're not so fucking pretty on the inside" and "I don't know how we're just two men as God has made us", I feel both refer to the Male Demolition lover, which makes me feel he and Illi are one in the same, especially if we're noting Illi's identity as trans and/or gender non conforming.

Honestly though, as I said, I don't exactly think this theory makes complete sense and I'm sure I am forgetting certain details but uh . idk feast on these words

jump scared by the 4th Doctor saying "well" with an uncanny intonation to how 10 says it, except I thought that was just a David Tennant-ism considering he does it in everything eventually, like, that CAN'T have started with him copying this cadence and absorbing it into his being? Right?

Saw your post about anon!! I hate hearing that but,,,,, Then I read the post it was about that you had reposted. It seems a little mean- hearted don't you think? I mean I hate humble bragging as much as the next person!! But as Christians, shouldn't we be holding each other's successes up? If you can't talk about your blessings casually to people you care about, when can you talk to them?

Hey anon, I appreciate you saying so! It was definitely a bit rattling at first but the more I thought about it I just found it funny pfft xD

To answer your question: what I took away from the post was less that it was meant to mock people who want to talk about their blessings and more to critique people who use what COULD be an opportunity to mindfully meet people where they're at and instead make it about themselves. In the specific example that OP was writing about, it was implied that the blogger in question was more focused on the point of "I get it, I've been there" before presenting a perspective/experience that was, frankly, a bit too focused on personal experience as opposed to genuine compassion. For many Christians who are frustrated by their prospects of seeking love (or any goal they're chasing frankly), being approached with that framework just simply isn't helpful or relatable. I've talked to a LOT of fellow Christians (particularly neurodivergent women) who have expressed their discouragement at how difficult it is just to find friends, let alone a romantic partner. And in the broader context of American Christianity, which puts a LOT of cultural emphasis on "find love -> get married -> be fruitful and multiply", that can be a very alienating experience.

That isn't to say that it's wrong or bad to talk about your blessings. Of course we should celebrate the blessings that God has given us and cheer on others who in turn has also been blessed! But I do think that there should be more widespread mindfulness that just as someone is experiencing a peak in their own life, someone may also be facing a trough that they're struggling with. And in those cases, I feel that it should be more about approaching that person with respect and compassion for where they're at in their own life. I hope that makes sense!

Anyway, personally, I have always thought that the best remedy for getting dumped is to go on another date with someone you're not emotionally invested in yet [this is probably the polyamory and borderline talking but stick with me I swear it makes sense for at least some of us]

So when you CARE about a person and the relationship dynamic shifts, now you're in mourning right because you started to imagine them in different places in your life and it's emotionally painful to uproot those. But like. If you temper that pain with a person you KNOW that you aren't emotionally invested in (yet) it's a lot easier to challenge the weird thoughts a post-break up funk puts in your head.

Do I feel like a freak of nature who will always be alone because that's reasonable or because Jean-Paul over there told me he's got too much going on right now to keep going out with me? When I'm crying alone in my room, the answer is way less helpful! When I'm on a date with Steve From Accounting Who's Fun But Not My Type it's a LOT easier to remember that lots of different kinds of people are attracted to me, and my boundaries/choices in interaction with others can have a lot to do with how I experience them. See, Steve From Accounting can say and do a lot of things that just Do Not Bother Me, because. Well, why should they? And the reminder that I'm capable of setting down frustration or hurt, the reminder that I can mark lines with people on a case by case basis that I don't want them to cross, and it can be different for different people and that can be a GOOD thing, all that stuff makes it easier the next time I'm alone and feeling shitty to say "hey, these are sensations in my body that I deserve to tend to, but they are not Truth Coming Out Of Her Well To Shame Me Specifically and I can chill about it."

Honestly it's also really validating to remember that there are MANY kinds of affection and connection from others in the world. The loss of affection/connection that often comes with a break up can rattle me, and it's helpful to have the PHYSICAL IN MY BODY reminder that this will pass as I reorient within the other systems of affection and care I participate in. A break up hurts less if you're not also wondering where you'll get your needs met in the meantime.

Anyway it's day two of post-"let's be friends" stabilization and the playlist evolves with me so today's song is Perfect with Sam Smith and Jessie Reyez

Under the cut are mostly self-insert doodles of decreasing quality. Again, not much directly tied to Team Fortress 2. Might as well toss these out while I have no access to my puter. Much yapping under the cut and in the tags incoming.

Another self-insert, this time less of a "here's me as a tenth class" and more of a "here's my game experiences translated into the class I would take the place of". The Cleaner. Although I guess they could still be wearing either suit. It doesn't matter that much.

That one Convict's Case taunt with Backup would be extremely funny, because the man would be on the verge of a breakdown (he does not want to go to jail so bad you have no idea). The second image- I owe no explanation. You know what I am. You see the pattern with my favourites.

The duality of the man. Resting face versus "just heard you express interest in religion/Russian folklore" face. He's not that hard to make friends with, when you pull him away from all the explosions.

Some doodles of trying to figure his face out. Unfortunately, the more I stare at him, the more I worry that he looks like A Certain Guy With The Last Name "Kazarin", and the fear of never being original in my life caught up to me.

Don't look at me, don't perceive me, I refuse to explain any of my actions to you.
