Honestly, I love it when characters relapse. When someone who’s gotten over their anger issues falls into a situation so out of their depth they fall back on their old habits. When someone who’s learned to open up becomes a recluse again in order to cope with something outside their control.
There’s just something so horrible, so toxic, about watching a character grow and then slip back into their old selves in order to cope, bc you know they still care, that they’re the same inside, but watching them hurt so hard they don’t know what else to do brings a sense of catharsis.

pathologic 3 announcement made me return to the classic game and finally play it properly! i think my favorite part of the bachelor's route is when he talks to maria kaina (or whoever's in her body at the time) and they explain that their planned Utopia isn’t even supposed to be a 'perfect' place but instead 'the mystical manifestation of a world inscrutable and inaccessible to men' going back to the original meaning of the word irl and instead of despairing Daniil fervently agrees that this kind of unimaginable leap is worth it, no matter where it actually leads
#pathologic#the bachelor#daniil dankovsky#andrey stamatin#peter stamatin#maria kaina#nina kaina#recent interview with dybowski made me kind of apprehensive#because i love the idea of an emotional state as a fundamental game mechanic for the bachelor but#he was very focused on the idea of following the 'teacher' in Simon and in the process learning everything he was meant to learn#despite never really 'catching' the dead guy in his time loops#i feel that the head of the studio is just projecting again#and in a way that old version of the bachelor made back when he was a student in his twenties#could end up seeming more compelling in the end#but we'll SEE#i am still wildly hopeful and hype#my artwork#ALSO anybody who likes the bachelor and reads those rambling tags#you should totally check out blank monk by chekhov#its short

Bellara and Lucanis both cook for the Veilguard BUT I can say with 100% certainty that they cannot cook for the Veilguard at the same time because deep down in my soul I know Bellara is the most chaotic person you've ever seen holding a kitchen knife and Lucanis Cannot Handle It.
#they can discuss cooking together#spices and flavours and the like#but when the actual mechanical process starts he has to leave#he has to be somewhere else#dragon age#datv#dragon age the veilguard#lucanis dellamorte#bellara lutare#sources? my intuition

“Im straight” “Im gay” okay?? There’s no happy endings?? Not here and not now?? This tale is all sorrows and woes?? You may dream that justice and peace win the day?? But that’s not how the story goes????
#Asoue#a series of unfortunate events#Yall probably don’t wanna hear my thoughts process for this but here it is anyway#so I was listening to the mechanisms#(shoutout to saltedcaramelchaos for pushing me to finally listen to it)#and I’m listening to once upon a time in space right?#and the song goes there’s no happy ending#and I go :0 like asoue#and then this

Loki and the Deeply Valid Fear of Being a Government-Issued Android Without Knowing It
Imagine living for over a thousand years, committing intergalactic crimes, then one random underpaid TVA clerk with a monotone voice suddenly introduces the possibility that, oh, by the way, what if you were secretly a robot this whole time? And Loki, who has always carried himself with the absolute certainty of a god, pauses. Like. “Wait. What if I am?”
He hears that question and immediately does a full mental diagnostic. Have I ever glitched? Ever felt oddly mechanical? Experienced an unusual fondness for oil? Maybe he’s too good at lying. Too good at surviving. What if that’s just the programming?
The TVA worker just moves on. He doesn’t elaborate. no reassurances. theres no safety net. Just the terrifying possibility that he might get instantly vaporized for something completely outside his control.
Id like to note, his hesitation isn’t even just some random existential crisis, it’s trauma-informed. This man already lived through the experience of waking up one day and realizing he wasn’t who he thought he was.
He grew up thinking he was a prince, a god, Odin’s rightful son, only to find out he was actually a stolen relic of war. A Jotun. A creature he’d been taught to hate.
He thought he knew himself before, and he was wrong. What if he’s wrong again? What if theres something else about himself thats been hidden? If he didn’t realize he was a Frost Giant, whats stopping him from not realizing he’s actually some highly advanced synthetic being?
It’s not just a funny existential gag, it’s a callback to one of the most devastating truths of Loki’s existence:
He has never really known who he is.
It’s the muscle memory of having his entire identity ripped out from under him. It’s the learned fear of asking, What am I, actually?
Because the last time he asked that question, the answer ruined him.
#loki#loki laufeyson#loki mcu#loki odinson#loki series#jotun loki#this scene was just his jotun identity crisis in a different font#loki meta#marvel#loki tv show#loki god of mischief#loki what if I was a robot and just didnt know it laufeyson#loki god of programmed responses??#need marvel to let this man sit down have some tea and process his emotions ONCE PLEASEEE#loki standing there like “wait. what if i am just some little mechanical guy”#i need the TVA to apologize to him immediately actually#LOKI YOUR CONCERN IS SO VALID AND I’M SO SORRY#loki’s life is just one long unbroken chain of people withholding critical identity-based information from him#sorry but if i found out i was a frost giant by accident i’d also hesitate before walking into a vaporization chamber#marvel really said “what if we made the god of mischief doubt his own existence” and called it worldbuilding#loki in that moment is all of us who overthink basic questions until we start questioning reality#loki text post#text post#text

but i appreciate it
#- workhorse#a doodley#was told this over overworking myself today and its like#why. why would i prioritize myself. there is no myself.#there is no me#i dont have anything. nothing and nobody not anybody.#there is no art if there is no cheye only because cheye is the mechanical process#the only cheye there is is the base level of sentient being#nothing more. there's nothing more.#so why wouldnt i keep going despite physical pain and lack of sleep. there's nothing else. i dont care

so I think I'm one of the few who do t really trust the agency. it's probably just my inherent dislike of shady government things but I was wondering if down the line making our detective distrusting of the agency is going to have an impact? there's been quite a few choices for it but it's not played out too much yet (ngl I love the angst of agency loyal A and agency hater detective haha)
Now you're part of the Agency, it's definite that'll come into effect more.
Though, as a writer, I'm still having an interesting time on how to balance this, lol! Having that distrust show or MCs who want to make it obvious that they don't agree with their methods, etc…while still having them work with the Agency and not just split ways...?
It's certainly something I'm playing with ideas of how to really make an impact and not just be some throw away stat, if that makes sense?
Hope that helps a bit!
Thank you so much for the ask! :)

Six fanarts! My second time :D
Sister Carpenter, from The Silt Verses (podcast)
Lyfrassir Edda, from The Bifrost Incident (album, by The Mechanisms)
Jonathan Sims, from The Magnus Archives (podcast)
Jiji, from Kiki's Delivery Service (animated movie)
The Phantom of the Opera, from The Phantom of the Opera (book version)
Jack Skellington, from The Nightmare Before Christmas (animated movie)
Requested by (in order):
@arianwells , @archivists-plus-one , @thekyuusanna @stephanie568 @princeofbadassery , @pixelferrets
I hope these turned out alright, because a lot of these characters have no official visual design. It was so much fun to come up with them though, I might do these again!
