I mean, all bits aside, I genuinely don’t believe Glenn was a bad person. Bad father is a little harder to defend, but in both cases, he has solely good intentions that are only brought down by his own naivety and avoidance. The way Glenn acts in court, I really doubt he’s faced any real legal trouble before, and he’s stated before that the most damage he’s ever caused was stealing a $15 dollar wine opener from a hotel room. Everything “bad” he does in the forgotten realms is in the interest of keeping Nick, himself, his friends and their kids alive, and I think it’s safe to assume that logic carries back over to his life on earth. He’s a single father who is ultimately doing his best for Nick, given his own knowledge of how to be a father in the context of his own childhood. He has no support system (pre-canon, at least) and, honest to god, he just doesn’t know any better. Free my man he doesn’t deserve any of what happened to him!!

okay so genuine question

why do some people feel the need to point out and explain in HEAVY detail why a certain ship "wouldn't work in canon" or "isn't realistic"

like

i have people telling me i don't have comprehension skills or media literacy because i enjoy fyolai as a ship

????

literally just leave me alone tf

firstly, these characters are fictional and we can do whatever the fuck we want with them even if that means some people are going to mischaracterize them to the point they're unrecognizable. you don't have to consume fan content like that but it is allowed to exist.

i just feel like it's pointless and it makes a lot of people (especially younger more impressionable fans) feel bad about the things they enjoy when you see these huge rants about why two characters can't be shipped because it's not canon and in canon "they would never" etc.

i respect canon. i also take canon and set it on fire then turn the ashes into whatever i want because it's fun and transformative

bsd canon has a questionable relationship with its female characters. bsd canon has made plenty of questionable choices with both its plot and its characters.

bsd canon is also a wonderful piece of media that we all enjoy for different reasons and interpret in different ways so just like...stop, y'know? it's not that hard to just not look at a certain ship's content if you dislike it, there's no need to keep screaming into the void about how it's not the way it's "meant to be" in canon

It’s like 2:15 AM, and I should really be sleeping, but I want to stay up and play the ukulele!!!

[practically-an-x-man]

also I understand why people do the whole "mint in package" thing with their collectibles but also like... how is that fun? I understand that it's about the appreciation of value and maybe being able to sell it later on, but personally I want to take them out of the box and look at all the little details and put them in a place where I can glance at them and smile.

No hate to the people that do collect things with the intent to sell them, but that's just not fun for me.

Probably gonna be a hot take, but- art competitions are anti-art.

Competition kills art. Inherently. The second you start comparing people’s works and labeling some as “winners” and “losers”, you trivialize it.

So many young or beginner artists completely give up or don’t even try because they don’t believe they’ll ever be “good enough”, and competitive attitudes reinforce ideas of what is “good enough”.

It’s just overall- really yikes, imo.

i have done tasks. i have many more tasks to do because i plan on using all of my solar powered brain (aka before the seasonal affective disorder kicks in to make me Depressed) to finish at least one project in my house

[like-eachothersghosts]

it sucks so much ass that i can’t use any of my paintings for my portfolio because they’re all fanart :( you might say ‘oh jey, why don’t you just paint other things?’ very easy answer to that. i don’t want to :) i paint for myself and i don’t want to have to do things i won’t enjoy for the sake of a portfolio

Since I’m on a twelve hour layover in [redacted] airport, here’s a Durgetash playlist I just made up in my head in no particular order:

1. Void in Blue by Glare

2. Tangled Dreams by Wisp

3. Skipping Tiles by Julie

4. Early Sunsets Over Monroeville by My Chemical Romance

5. Your Skull is Red by Team Sleep

6. I Bet on Losing Dogs by Mitski (obligatory Mitski song for the toxic couple)

6.5 Should’ve Been Me by Mitski (by my own arbitrary rules I can only have one Mitski song on a playlist. This is a good alternative)

7. Dagger by Slowdive

8. Rivière by Deftones (this song also would be good for Orin now that I think about it 🤔)

9. A Sad Cartoon by Loathe

10. Ghosts by Scarlet House

11. No More Like That by Eiafuawn

12. Never-Never by Lush

13. The Passion of Lovers by Bauhaus

I like that we get to see that one of Makima's main motivating factors in the story is that she sees herself as so above everyone and everything that she cannot see someone else as an equal enough for her to form a real bond with them. kind of mental illness of her

Being chronically ill in your 20's and unable to work puts you in this weird secret 3rd category of being "behind" all your peers in life and also being very far ahead because you have so many health problems in your youth

Boring life update:

For the next week I am a grand total of $24.43 away from a big financial goal of mine I've been working towards for years and I will not reach it.

One of my biggest financial goals is to be worth $0. Where my debts equal my assets.

But I'm only -$24.43 in the hole at the moment. And with my car problems and when everything is going to hit my bank account for it...I won't reach it.
