#I will not shut up about this cat man

[rainymoonbows]

something more lighthearted

I just think that the two cats of the hotel should interact

[thekittyokat]

you ever just have a lot, a LOT of feelings all at once about a character and not even remotely enough words or brainpower to FORM the words to describe everything you're feeling. so it feels like you may explode. yeah

[vizziefizzie]

i talked in a previous post about how ogata shooting his eye out is symbolic but i want to expand on it a bit more so here goes:

ever since ogata was a child, his mom was telling him to become a soldier. I'm not going to unpack his entire relationship with his mom or else this post would get way too long but he starts shooting birds in an attempt to make his mother notice him. he becomes tsurumi's personal hitman in order to make tsurumi value him. everywhere he goes, the only thing he has to offer is his skill with a gun. it pretty much becomes his entire identity. even after asirpa shoots him the eye, he's able to adjust to shooting with his other eye because he knows that he'll be useless if he doesn't. and the way he chooses to kill himself (or really just speed up his death, since he almost certainly would have died from the poison anyway and that is another reason this is so significant) is very interesting. he is literally on a moving train and he has a sword and a bayonet. falling off the train or stabbing himself would both be way more convenient than using the sword to pull the trigger of a rifle to shoot himself in the eye, but he does it because of the realization that he was wrong. he does feel guilt. his entire philosophy was a delusion and a self fulfilling prophecy. he became a 'defective person' because he believed that he was one. shooting himself in the eye is symbolic of him giving up everything, renouncing his identity and everything that he believed.

The au where shen yuan is linguang-jun has a mental hold on me. Specifically the potential ending in which he ends up with Su Xiyan and Tianlang-jun.

Hear me out for a second, I like to think of SXY and TLJ as both tall, usually 6'2 & 6'3 respectively, even if I think TLJ will sometimes claim he is shorter than SXY.

Anyway, in this fic SY is described as tall as shit, able to scoop up fully grown Mobei-jun like a kid tall. So I'm going to say he's 7'8 for a very specific reason.

At this height, both TLJ and SXY are at chest level to SY. That's my only reason

(Fic in question is called "Snow Hugs" by alicecrow6)

I'm never recovering from the moment I actually understood the hope in the midst of chaos and violence and pain that trimax and trigun 98 conveyed

Like I got it and that shit is life changing. Cuz terrible stuff happen and keep happening but omg there's the future with so many possibilities and people who can change and are good and even if not because of that there's the little things, there's the animals that are alive that make you say "life sucks but look at that blue sky". In the middle of so much darkness there's a little light thats so easy to miss but the fact that is there and you can hold it and never let go it's something I wish I understood sooner but at the same time I'm glad I got that rn cuz again, the future is so full with possibilities.

And that's what I finally understand about the endings of trimax and trigun 98 and why "sad" was an incorrect way of defining them. When vash laughs and joins his remaining friends while a bunch of people try to capture him once again and when vash from 98 left his red coat and his extreme attachment to rem's ideals and carried his brother to start a new life even though it will be hard. Cuz that man fucking understood there was hope. He understood there IS hope as long as we got blue skies and nice old songs and friends who will be by our side and memories from old friends and family.

Holy shit man, hope

welcome to cj/crispy's bi-yearly ptsd rant about fireworks, you are all safe and valid here and i am mentally giving out juice boxes and animal crackers

I think what really annoys me when people who don’t like Cats talk about it is they don’t say “I don’t like Cats”, they say “Cats is bad”. Like okay you’re entitled to your opinion but you’re also factually incorrect. Go off I guess

So I’m having another… let’s call it an internet crisis. A thing that typically happens when I have Big Problems I can’t do fuck all about which means now it’s time to get Really Upset about problems that are comparatively small but do affect my daily routine (sorry again for no cut, I still can’t remember how to do it on mobile and I fucking hate hate hate the desktop post editor as much as someone can hate a piece of code)

It’s… getting harder to use tumblr. This isn’t about the sidebar, I don’t actually hate the sidebar cause we used to have a sidebar on the other side and I’ve missed it every since it left, but it’s about other things. A lot of things, but I won’t get into them all right now. For me, the new post editor is just. Really fucking difficult to use. If you’re just doing an unformatted, unplanned ramble (like this) or a little shitpost, it’s fine, especially if you’re on mobile (somehow the shitty mobile editor is now less shitty than the desktop editor, how tf did that happen), but if you’ve got multiple paragraphs and literally any formatting is needed? Well, you’re fucked, quite frankly, it is the most dense and convoluted post editor I’ve seen in like roughly 2 decades spent online. I’ve never seen anything more counterintuitive and difficult to use

And I’m sitting here with all these twitter posts I want to move. Some are little and would be easy. Others are a lot longer and more complicated and would shove me into that formatting hell I despise so much (and given how much feedback and unanswered asks to wip I’ve sent with no improvements, I’ve given up hope of it ever being made better). Like god I really, really want to save those posts but is it even worth it to do it here? But where else would I do it?

And the secondary layer too is… there’s no fucking posts here. No engagement on posts either most of the time. 90% of my posts come from my archive cause the kylux and Kylo (plus a few others I check less regularly) tags have very few daily posts and there’s hardly anything on my dash anymore. My original posts maybe get 10 notes on average, and these posts are ones that sometimes got near triple digit rts alone on twitter. Just seems there’s exceptionally few people here to enjoy them

And I’m still on twitter. It’s slowly dwindling but it’s still slightly more active than here. I’m on pillowfort and bsky too and they are truly dead (unless you’re a furry, good on the furries for populating every site in existence). There’s just. Nothing anymore. Maybe my fandoms are just dead but it feels like the meme about passing around the same $20 among friends cause capitalism is destroying us except with posts and likes

Idk. I feel like I don’t have an online home anymore. 90% of my socializing is online and 100% of my creativity is expressed through fandom and. I don’t know where to do that anymore. I have friends I chat with on discord and I love them but it’s… it’s not the same as a whole community, you know? And now that our homes are falling apart with every sign pointing towards imminent foreclosure like. What do I do. I know I’ve been through site losses before but. It feels different. Something new and shiny always came along before the end. I fear that’s not coming and we’ll all just be lost

Idk. I don’t have a conclusion. Twitter is doomed. I hate how the new owners are running on tumblr and I’m still posting here more out of a desperate desire to remember what community felt like than any real actual want to do so. The new sites have nothing going on. Idk. I feel lost. And maybe it’s the 15 other problems I have going on right now and hormones and shit but. I just don’t know what to do and I’m scared of what the future looks like for online communities and how alone I’ll be if I lost them (even though in reality I already have lost them aside from a small handful of people)
