#Directional Inputs

[leclercskiesahead]

when carlos did the steering with the blindfold charles just instinctively followed and was full focused on feeling for carlos' input. it was one of their quietest videos.

when charles tries steering with carlos' hair (and briefly his head) it ends up being one of their most chaotic previews if not the most because carlos needs to stim and can't focus and tensed his neck like he was doing his gym exercises (instead of relaxing it so his head is manoeuvrable like charles did) (and also allegedly has hair so miraculous he can't feel it being yanked on).

if this doesn't tell you who's the sub and who's the dom idk what will.

I rather suspect that BBC Sherlock never recovered from losing Paul McGuigan.

I would pay such good money for confirmation of whether Ratio and Aventurine have worked together before Penacony. How did it happen??? The talks that went on before Final Victor... The initial spark of inspiration to stick Those Two Guys together...

Like, I just have to know if someone in the IPC deliberately tossed Aventurine and Ratio on to a team together (with or without good intentions). Are any of the higher ups in the IPC or the Intelligentsia Guild out there counting on this partnership working out for the best?

To be a fly on the wall when Ratio found out who he'd been hired to "consult" with...

And Aventurine, getting the IPC mission orders across his desk like "Ah, yes, finally. He's here. My Government Assigned Boyfriend™."

Commission of Sunspot from Fortnite for @mynders-universe

What a lovely glowing boi! He was so fun to render--Mynder always knows how to find art for me to do that I will enjoy. They were also kind enough to offer their commission (with watermark included) up for grabs to the public if anyone would like to use it as a PFP or otherwise.

[dinoserious]

Hey there! I have a couple of questions about your commissions. What size / resolution can I expect one of your sketches to be (not the icons)? And do you do adjustments before they are finalized? Apologies if this information was listed somewhere, I might have missed it. Thank you! :)

i dont keep to a specific resolution for the fullbodies, as i tend to adjust the canvas as i go, but if you want me to keep to something specific i can! and no on adjustments for kofi based comms, tho im willing to make minor edits after the fact

As someone who loves Andrew as a character and doesn’t hate on Ashley and recognize both of their flaws unlike most people, I feel like the fandom coddles and sympathizes Andrew even more after Chapter 3 because of his backstory.

Ashley’s behavior is largely a result of her parents’ neglect and lack of effort in raising her. They never made her go to therapy or address her issues, instead enabling her behavior and shifting the blame onto her brother. She never had birthdays celebrated, and her fake friends only used her to get closer to Andy. As a result, no one really supports her, and she never learned how to behave in a healthy way. So, it makes sense why she’d become so dependent on Andy when he’s the only one who’s actually tried to care for her and make her happy.

What people often overlook is that Ashley grew up in the same toxic, abusive environment as Andrew, but instead of being labeled as “evil” or “manipulative,” she’s simply a product of the neglect and lack of guidance she experienced. She craves unconditional love, doesn’t understand relationships, and wears her emotions on her sleeve. Meanwhile, Andrew sees through it, lets her behavior slide, and ends up blaming her for his own actions.

There’s a lot of sympathy for Andrew, to the point where people overlook some of his less admirable qualities—like how he treats Ashley, Julia, Nina, and others. But when it comes to Ashley, she’s dismissed just because her personality is harder for people to like. She grew up in the same neglectful and abusive environment as Andrew, but their personalities turned out differently because she was completely neglected, while Andrew was suppressed. This explains why Ashley tends to act out and demand attention, while Andrew keeps things bottled up. Yet people forget this, and only see Ashley as a product of the same toxic environment that worsened Andrew, without considering that there was nothing in that environment that could’ve helped her improve. She doesn’t know how to initiate positive, prosocial behavior because she wasn’t taught how to.

In many ways, Andrew’s behavior is just as problematic—he rarely does anything genuinely prosocial and sometimes behaves horribly toward people who care about him, like Julia. But because he’s more inward in his attitude and has a more fleshed-out backstory, people tend to accept him more easily. Ashley, on the other hand, hasn’t been given the same explanation or “justification” for her actions.

Ashley is clearly wrong for abusing and raping Andrew, and it's understandable that people sympathize with him because of it. However, let’s not pretend Andrew is some “innocent” person. He’s spied on his sister while she was changing, emotionally manipulated others, used Julia to vent his sexual frustrations about Ashley, cared more about the consequences of his actions than the lives he took, faked nightmares to sleep next to his sister, and continues to engage in inappropriate touching or flirting with her.

In the Shots and Such ending, Andrew wanted Ashley to get drunk with him so they could have "accidental" sex, and he ended up assaulting her while she was intoxicated, trying to repeat what he considered the best sex he ever had. In the Cliffhanger ending, it is implied that Andrew intended to assault his imaginary sister.

In the story, Andrew makes many sexual comments to Ashley but later takes back his consent. Despite this, Ashley continues to press him, which leads to the conclusion that this is rape.

Then Andrew has sex with a wasted Ashley. When she finds out, she has a breakdown. Andrew argues that she "wanted it," suggesting it wasn't rape?

Andrew violently beats Ashley and then becomes drunk. Ashley forces him to have sex with her. Later, Andrew admits he likes to get Ashley drunk to have sex with her and has been trying to recreate it over and over again.

Both individuals are terrible, but it frustrates me that Andrew is not held accountable for anything.

Ashley and Andrew both have difficult personalities shaped by their neglectful upbringing. Ashley seeks attention and is often criticized for her behavior, while Andrew is more reserved and people overlook his flaws. The key point is that both are shaped by their environment and should not be labeled as simply a "monster" or a "victim. "

If you feel sympathy for one sibling, you should show the same sympathy to the other. Similarly, if you dislike one sibling, you should also have the same feelings toward the other.

i don’t know what world you live in where people are sympathizing with andrew after decay and refusing to hold him accountable, nor why you’re dropping all these paragraphs in my inbox to tell me how much andrew sucks and ashley should be coddled more like i’m one of those people.

not a fan of anything you said on the topic of rape, either. mentioning it in passing only to bring up examples of andrew disregarding ashley’s lack of genuine consent after he was raped by ashley and she forced him into a sexual relationship as if to show that andrew is a worse rapist, even comparing his deeply repressed thoughts in cliffhanger to the act of rape by claiming thoughts = intent to act, all of that strongly comes off as trying to justify what was done to him and i am not here for it.

and making sexual comments does not in any way equal consent to sex, so andrew didn’t withdraw consent that he’s never given when ashley raped him. you’re definitely in “andrew wanted it so the rape wasn’t that bad” territory here and it’s extremely uncomfortable.

ill be the first to admit im not very good at the social part of social media

[thiriumstains]

one thing i constantly think about (and i’m glad other people think about it to) is how hank’s self worth issues and connor’s struggle with his independence and sentience clash together. like. ughhh it’s amazing and so angsty and beautiful.

hank thinks that connor couldn’t Possibly want hank. it’s just because he thinks hank is the only option, or was the first kind person to him, or his closest friend. that’s the only reason connor could think he’s attracted to him. because who would want hank? why would perfect, beautiful, strong, sweet connor want hank? he’s a borderline alcoholic, he’s an emotional mess, he’s big and old and rude.

and connor doesn’t understand why his advances aren’t working. he does human methods to show attraction, he is direct like a machine android, he smiles and winks and is close to him physically and emotionally. he wants hank, he knows he does. he wants hank and hank has been one of the first things he’s wanted. hank showed him he was more than a robot. connor thinks hank knows he’s sure of himself and he’s confused when hank constantly ignores or brushes off his advances. is it rejection? shame? denial? he’s still analyzing to figure it out

weirdos on Twitter loooove to assume that for any given localization job that the original Japanese is INHERENTLY better, as if one of the most common goals in localization isn't 'turn dogwater writing into something interesting'
