#So actually. I have a serious point here
Text
It's so funny to me when fic writers mention a new made up first encounter of sskk when it's actually part of canon and we know how it went. Akutagawa ripped off Atsushi's leg. Good luck finding anything more romantic than that
#Why feel the need to change that it can't get any more romantic#Tbh I don't know why people do it but I've found that a lot? I think maybe people just forgot since it happened 100 chapters ago#ryūnosuke akutagawa#atsushi nakajima#sskk#bsd#bungou stray dogs#mine#q.#04/08/22#This was conceived as a joke but funny enough it *is* one of the most romantic things about sskk‚ unironically#Because think of someone going from cutting their loved one's leg to literally giving their lives for them.#The love and dedication is just so much more impactful when you know it comes from a place of hatred and pain!!!!#Which would have never happened if Akutagawa didn't cut Atsushi's leg in the first place#So actually. I have a serious point here

you were raised in comparison.
it wasn't always obvious (well. except for the times that it was), but you internalized it young. you had to eat what you didn't like, other people are going hungry, and you should be grateful. you had to suck it up and walk on the twisted ankle, it wasn't broken, you were just being a baby. you were never actually suffering, people obviously had it worse than you did.
you had a roof over your head - imagine! with the way you behaved, with how you talked back to your parents? you're lucky they didn't kick you out on your ass. they had friends who had to deal with that. hell, you have friends who had to deal with that. and how dare you imply your father isn't there for you - just because he doesn't ever actually talk to you and just because he's completely emotionally checked out of your life doesn't mean you're not fucking lucky. think about your cousins, who don't even get to speak to their dad. so what if yours has a mean streak; is aggressive and rude. at least you have a father to be rude to you.
you really think you're hurting? you were raised in a home! you had access to clean water! you never so much as came close to experiencing a real problem. sure, okay. you have this "mental illness" thing, but teenagers are always depressed, right. it's a phase, you'll move on with your life.
what do you mean you feel burnt out at work. what do you mean you mean you never "formed healthy coping mechanisms?" we raised you better than that. you were supposed to just shoulder through things. to hold yourself to high expectations. "burning out" is for people with real jobs and real stress. burnout is for people who have sick kids and people who have high-paying jobs and people who are actually experiencing something difficult. recently you almost cried because you couldn't find your fucking car keys. you just have lost your sense of gratitude, and honestly, we're kind of hurt. we tell you we love you, isn't that enough? if you want us to stick around, you need to be better about proving it. you need to shut up about how your mental health is ruined.
it could be worse! what if you were actually experiencing executive dysfunction. if you were really actually sick, would you even be able to look at things on the internet about it? you just spend too much time on webMD. you just like to freak yourself out and feel like you belong to something. you just like playing the victim. this is always how you have been - you've always been so fucking dramatic. you have no idea how good you have it - you're too fucking sensitive.
you were like, maybe too good of a kid. unwilling to make a real fuss. and the whole time - the little points, the little validations - they went unnoticed. it isn't that you were looking for love, specifically - more like you'd just wanted any one person to actually listen. that was all you'd really need. you just needed to be witnessed. it wasn't that you couldn't withstand the burden, but you did want to know that anyone was watching. these days, you are so accustomed to the idea of comparison - you don't even think you belong in your own communities. someone always fits better than you do. you're always the outlier. they made these places safe, and then you go in, and you are just not... quite the same way that would actually-fit.
you watch the little white ocean of your numbness lap at your ankles. the tide has been coming in for a while, you need to do something about it. what you want to do is take a nap. what you want to do is develop some kind of time machine - it's not like you want your life to stop, not completely, but it would really nice if you could just get everything to freeze, just for a little while, just until you're finished resting. but at least you're not the worst you've been. at least you have anything. you're so fucking lucky. do you have any concept of the amount of global suffering?
a little ant dies at the side of your kitchen sink. you look at its strange chitinous body and think - if you could just somehow convince yourself it is enough, it will finally be enough and you can be happy. no changes will have to be made. you just need to remember what you could lose. what is still precious to you.
you can't stop staring at the ant. you could be an ant instead of a person, that is how lucky you are. it's just - you didn't know the name of the ant, did you. it's just - ants spend their whole life working, and never complain. never pull the car over to weep.
it's just - when it died, it curled up into a tight little ball.
something kind of uncomfortable: you do that when you sleep.
#writeblr#warm up#my dad was actively doing bad shit to us and we STILL were told we were lucky . and to a point i do think im lucky#i just think also there's somethin to be said about like. how about we stop using comparison to dismiss ppls individual struggles#yes there are people who have no perspective. for the reference tho having perspective actually made me really unwilling to get help#for what was a serious and debilitating mental health issue. bc i thought i didnt DESERVE IT#and i would rather have 600 ppl who aren't THAT bad get help and get heard and get seen#than make any 1 kid. do the math that i did: look at the world that is dying and the people who are hurting and say#''oh. okay. others have it worse. they are probably better people than i am. i am being unreasonable. i cannot ask for help#i am not good. i am taking too much space. i am not worth saving.''#bc our WHOLE lives we are taught a scarcity mindset - that you can 'steal' from someone. so that instead of changing a system that doesn't#actually offer fair support to everyone#we put the impetus on the individual to just... demand less.#and here's something - there are probably ppl who think i DIDNT deserve to get help#bc i DID have it better than other people#and something about that is ... so sickening. bc i think all of us in some way at some point WILL need help.#we were supposed to make communities. we were supposed to offer our hands. we were supposed to raise the barn#instead we said: it could be worse. now handle it yourself

putting my prediction on record now that the coming decade is going to see the rise of viral-marketed fancy at-home water filtration systems, driving and driven by a drastic reduction in the quality of U.S. tap water (given that we are in a 'replacement era' where our current infrastructure is reaching the end of its lifespan--but isn't being replaced). also guessing that by the 2030s access to drinkable tap water will be a mainstream class issue, with low-income & unstably housed people increasingly forced to rely on expensive bottled water when they can't afford the up-front cost of at-home filtration--and with this being portrayed in media as a "moral failing" and short-sighted "choice," rather than a basic failure of our political & economic systems. really hope i'm just being alarmist, but plenty of this already happens in other countries, and the U.S. is in a state of decline, so. here's praying this post ages into irrelevance. timestamped April 2023
#apollo don't fucking touch this one#serious post#not a shitpost#hope i forget about this post and have no reason to ever look back on it one day#fyi i'm aware that access to potable water is already a major issue in parts of the U.S. yes i know flint michigan exists#i'm saying that this issue is going to GROW unless local & federal governments work together to fix it.#so it's a matter of if we trust them to fix it. And well--do you?#what are the chances the government just denies there's a problem until the water actually turns brown#at which point it's already been common knowledge for years and people have just become resigned and that's our new normal#i'm mean come on. how many of us already believe that we're being exposed to dangerous pollutants we don't know about and can't avoid#like that's pretty much just part of being a modern consumer. accepting that companies will happily endanger your life for a few pennies#and the most you'll get is like a $50 gift card as part of a class action rebate 20 years down the line#probably the history books will look back on Flint as a warning and a harbinger that went ignored#luxury condos will advertise their built-in top-of-the-line filtration systems--live here and you can drink water straight from your tap!#watch the elite professional class putting $700 dyson water filtration systems on their wedding registry#while the rest of us figure out how to fit water delivery into our grocery budget while putting 90% of our paycheck towards rent#also eggs are $15

I personally think a nice way to give us more chances to talk to Halsin in Act 3 is giving us the option to ask him for a new story from his 350 years of life, and we get a new tidbit of information that changes based on how high his approval is, or whether or not he's being romanced. If the approval is low, he shares little or refuses. I want a chance to hear about how much he studies, meditates, and hibernates and not just the salacious parts!
#BG3 Musing#Halsin Posting#halsin is very clear that he's lived a while and feels a lot older than he is#i want to hear more about high forest and the emerald grove#i want a way for him to tell me things about himself that don't involve me having to have a rendezvous that casually brings up a bad memory#yknow?#karlach asking him for stories and him immediately being like 'no one really cares about those they're only really interested in escapades'#and wyll being like 'do you actually do anything besides meditate council fight train and make love?' and halsin just nonchalantly#'is such an existence lacking?' i know thats supposed to be funny#but he sounds so put upon by it#like okay and..?#maybe im just a sap but i want to hear more general stuff#if that writer on twitter is serious about taking suggestions heres one#also this isn't an invite to bash on act 3 halsin - most of the companions are dead air after you do their quest#this is an encompassing larian issue all around where the companions sort of all fall flat midway through act 3#but that's another point entirely

please don’t by k.will did more for the gays back in 2012 than any boy group can possibly do with fan service and crop tops in 2024
#do young kpoppies know about please don’t by k.will. im serious do they know#I think about it a lot#it’s impossible to replicate the feeling of being gay and watching that mv in the 2010s and just getting bodyslammed by the ending.#like he really just dropped that shit in TWENTY TWELVE#kibumblabs#to this day I think that’s the most explicitly gay mv ive seen in kpop by an established artist#(ie not holland. no shade to him but he kinda built his platform on being an openly gay artist and he’s not a big industry name or anything#which makes the impact significantly different. if that makes sense. anyway.)#like think about any other example. almost all of them can be brushed off as fan service or are at least vague enough to be#up for interpretation#please don’t’s ending is nearly fucking impossible to write off as anything but explicitly gay#no fanservice involved. no vague staring in each other’s eyes. just straight up Oh He’s Not Jealous Of His Friend He’s Jealous Of His#Friend’s Fiancé. oh#like that’s the whole point. interpreting it any other way doesn’t make sense with the impact it’s purposefully supposed to make#like seriously try to say ‘he’s just sad he’s losing his friend to marriage :(‘ or something. you have to be REAL fucking stupid or#deeply in denial to make that argument let alone believe it#anyway. I appreciate this mv a lot#k.will the OG of doomed yaoi in kpop#kill me#closest contender off the top of my head is one more day by sistar#also note I am talking about mvs here not songs in general#cause if I were talking about songs in general. key’s out there pretty much writing about gay sex at this point so I mean#k.will#kpop#only adding actual tags because I want you to watch this mv if you haven’t already

Regarding the previous post, I think the way I approach trying to evaluate a piece of art is asking "Do I think the positive things I get out of it outweigh the parts of it that I don't like?" And when I call something a "guilty pleasure" song/show/book/piece of media/etc. it's really more in the sense of, "Given who I am as a person, the flaws I've found in this should be complete dealbreakers for me, but somehow they aren't, and it makes me feel like I'm having an identity crisis."
#like. I think something like...idk shiki or cxgf excels on multiple levels. I understand why I like them. given the things I look for in art#it makes sense that these shows would speak to me because they make the effort to showcase those things I look for. because the people#in charge of those works clearly valued the same kinds of things and cared about seriously exploring them.#but with something like. uh. ctrlz. that is NOT the case and I frequently found myself going 'why would anyone make this writing#decision?' but I still sat through all 3 seasons of it! I still really enjoyed it! those flaws SHOULD have made me give up according to#personal history but they never did. and I very very much genuinely question why. I have NO IDEA why I still care about this#silly convoluted teen drama show so much. but I do. I wrote SO MANY FUCKING POSTS ABOUT IT.#I really love wicked the musical. I've heard many people call it 'hokey' or 'cheesy' or 'objectively bad' but here's the thing! I DON'T#think it's bad!!! like literally at all!!!!!! and it does do some genuinely cool things in regard to the music and the way the characters#develop and what the show says about the nature of prejudice and human connection. is it like. idk Serious™ the way that something like#Parade is? no. but it doesn't have to be. it does what it sets out to do and it does it well and this is why the whole '''objective#evaluation''' thing doesn't actually mean anything. I value thoughtfully-constructed music and dynamic female characters#(which this musical has). I value stories that deal with the complex and messy feelings that come with being a human (which this musical#has). I value stories about 'other'ness and romantic subplots that aren't just built on 'This Girl Is Pretty' (which this musical has).#and I value professional displays of technical vocal ability because I know how fucking DIFFICULT that is (which this musical...if you cast#it well...has).#if you value something else in a musical then yeah you will probably think THIS one is '''objectively bad'''#if you don't see the point of musicals as an art form you will probably think wicked is '''objectively bad'''#do you see where the problem with categorizing analysis like this is??

"Hey dad can you convince [*insert someone with power here*] to let me join [*insert something i cant join*] please??? They said its impossible and also probably illegal"
My dad, a therapist who got me into a bunch of stuff that I wasn't allowed to join or go to purely by "just having a quick chat with the guy in charge": ...
Me: "well?"
My dad: "dont worry im already writing the text in my head."
Me: "just no gaslighting, manipulation, mansplaining or bringing up their childhood this time yeah?"
dad: "its not gaslighting, manipulation and mansplaining, its methods of therapy and it works every single time so sit down and let me think"
Me: "k thanks love you"
#Actual conversation I just had#This is legit how it works around here#Therapist dad goes brrrrrr#I'm serious once he handed me a letter and said “got you into that thing you wanted to go to” and I was like#“OMG HOW????”#And he just chuckled and said “his dad had anger issues”#And I just looked at him and said “iM SORRY WHAT??”#and he just went “dont worry about it”#Anyway my point is dont trust therapists they have a whole other life too#Both of my parents are therapists and some people say “oh thats so great!!” NO IT FUCKED ME UP#except for that little detail where I can do what I want cos my dad can convince anyone to do anything lols#But other than that#Living with 2 therapists fucked me up BIG TIME#WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

maybe i am being a huge bitch and terrible and unfair ????? perhaps that’s the problem ???? and that is likely. however the council (my two best friends and my mom) have concurred that i should actually be angrier and meaner so i think im doing my best atm
#kinda joke but actually i don’t know what to do and i am sooooo angry it i don’t think it’s justified but also isn’t it ? isn’t it ?#like i may have fucked up the very serious convo that we had earlier but also i’m so mad. and i said that. and she heard me I THOUGHT#so i thought it was going to get taken care of but apparently not#like ok. don’t pay rent just stay here 5/7 nights a week and stop by anytime and don’t make any moves to change or fix the position you’re#in like whatever atp. maybe i’d be a better friend if i was more understanding and ive been telling myself that for weeks but also wtf#i know things are terrible for her so i should be nicer and more understanding but i’ve been as nice and understanding as i can be for three#months now and nothings changed she not even interested in changing things so at what point is it real life consequences#of im mad and you have to pay rent ffs#idk. i should apologize for even asking that of her ig. i know things are super hard for her rn. but things are also hard for me rn#in different less extreme ways but still. idk

i'm taking the jlpt this sunday and had a stress dream last night abt it bc it sort of snuck up on me and now it's kind of a question of how much my actual japanese abilities will carry me (versus if i should've been cramming on flashcards this past month) but the listening portion is far simpler conversation than my coworkers and i have so. i think that maybe instead of "damn i should've been studying japanese" my perspective should just be "i speak japanese"
#a key part of the dream though was that i failed because i went on a motorcycle joyride during the 40 minute break and didn't make it back#in time for the listening section. the prompt for the listening section btw was to write an essay in english about kirishima eijirou#so i was like damn i would've totally passed#anyway hashtag classic maya but idk#i think i have a bit of a complex abt it bc i was studying for n1 (highest level) in college#but w the switch to online learning we stopped studying the stuff i really needed to work on (vocab and kanji)#and whatever kanji i knew how to write went out the window bc i never had to turn in written homework again#so i really let myself go there for a good two years but since moving last summer i've not only been having japanese conversations every da#i've also actually been studying kanji in my downtime at work#so i have picked up most of the study guide-type information just really slowly over time#i read a ton of manga in japanese lately and most shows on netflix here don't have eng subtitles but i'm fine without them 95% of the time#with the genre of shows i watch at least#so i've been thinking a lot lately abt what my end goal is w japanese studies because 'be able to consume all the art i want' feels like#a good place to be#i do think in the end the only thing between me and n1 is a lot of genuine hard work studying vocab and kanji and reading serious articles#so i feel like all 'sekkaku da shi' i've made it this far why would i just stop working at this point#those are just my thoughts though aaaa i know reading/vocab/grammar section is way more hit or miss#personal

here we go, i went ahead and made more proper compilations of neopet brushes for my silly purposes
- the idea is that you take requests where others will give you a brush and a character, and after that you just go crazy and interpret it however you like ! -
this has been one of my favorite art challenge concepts for years, it just itches something in my brain.
-> my one piece of personal advice for this is that going with instinct and interpreting a brush however you like is good, but if youre looking for a little inspiration then seeing how different pets look when painted by certain brushes can be fun! for example, the transparent brush makes their skeletons visible, and maraquan is aquatic themed !
brushes excluded (for a multitude of reasons
-stone paint brush
-lutari island paint brush
-invisible paint brush
-lost desert paint brush
-mystery island paint brush
-scritchy sketchy paint brush
-swamp gas paint brush (sorry to the true swamp gas heads out there i guess.
-tyrannian paint brush
#neopets#art challenge#?#sniffle i didnt expect so many people to actually be into this idea when i asked for requests on my art blog#so i feel a little bit bad for not making nice compilations from the start but if anything uhmm maybe you guys gotta take another round of#requests. LOL#im glad everyone is having fun :-) !!!!! again no need to credit me or ask for permission or whatever. i dont own this idea#i think having a tag for this would be a little overkill but if you do partake in this at all id love to see ^__^ !!!! just so fun yay yahoo#i tried to be fair and not exclude a brush just because they werent my favorite. but some of the brushes on here are on thin ice#im just gonna ramble at this point uhmmm. i love art . and silly art challenges. !!!!! and the opportunity to draw favorite guys ...#guys. im the most serious person alive. this is so serious to me#sorry this post isnt formatted like a proper reblog ask game thing or whatever. you guys can just take these and put them on your blog if#you want

Listen. if you just hear me Aout abt some headcanons#[read: things tht r just Tru abt them in lur system] it'd make so much ssense#but alas. Anyways#pk;m Electrochemistry🔴#also to draw them i need to teach myself how to draw mobility aids better. hmmmmmb. this is doable#actually now that i think abt it all tho outside of maybe like One pairing sk!llshipping is just. possibly a mess sorta#in that there's 24 [26? sorta?] of us so it's like mix and match hauve fun w it. what im tryig to say is that#it's not That serious and afaik again outside of One Pairing [iykyk] it's like WHO'S shipping pt with phys instrument??#who tf is shipping drama and encyclo? etc etc.#and the answer is ME MOTHERFUCKER!

I forgot if u say anything abt akechi acknowledging he did bad things you either get ppl who are mad that you “misunderstand his character and that you need to understand he actually did nothing wrong at all” or the ppl who get mad that you like his character “because he’s irredeemable” I almost prefer the pancake jokes era
Editing the original to force u to look at my tags bc 90% of u didn’t understand the post at all and look dumb as hell to me . Sorey
#I miss when we could all hold hands over him and analyze how the bad things he did were interesting#now it’s all... woobification to make shipping the main thing#throw back to someone missing the entire point of the dynamic between him and futaba and said ‘he did her a favor’ 😐 girl#the interesting thing is futaba found it in herself to treat him with kindness bc she knows how he feels in a way. she didn’t do all of tht#just for u guys to push her rlly nice moment and development aside to make him the main focus 24/7#<- coming from a guy who is obsessed w akechi and enjoys his reasoning AND his evil deeds#just liek. knowing what he did to her and how it mirrors his own life and problems#they have SUCH an interesting dynamic especially bc she’s one of the only#members to tried to let him know HIS future can grow with them#p5r spoilers#I’m serious btw someone told me that he ‘saved her from her mother’ ummm.... I think ur missing the obvious here. it was a parrell#I know Akira is the MAIN foil to akechi but all ppl care abt is shipppinggg so they all miss just how cool it is that akechi actually has a#few foils in each character#specifically haru futaba ryuji and yusuke and their family life + social status of family + how they handled grudges#those ones also all treat him in their own specific ways after the reveal too it’s so!!!! cool

Casting pebbles toward the sun, spectating their fall — A Rain World Short Story
The counterpart to Moondown, similarly experimental (though less so than the former). I’m not... really going for elegance here? More so, like. Conveying the idea. It was interesting to write from Pebbles’ perspective though, even if he doesn’t have a lot to say here. And, idk, I would be pretty dang pissed if my sister distracted me and caused me to effectively give myself a deadly incurable disease.
Also, please do not leave Pebbles hate in my notes. I do not care, and I Will block you for it. That is not the point of this story.

What does it matter if this is not the solution. Has he not tried hard enough? All these years discoursing with those parasites, ameliorating their insignificant troubles, and being forced to languish here, has he not earned his right to rest?

Even now he tries and fails and tries and fails and tries and fails and he will keep trying and keep failing but what else, what else is there for him to do?

Distractions. No. He must focus, if he is to succeed. He will see this through. He will be free of this. No more. No longer.

He only hopes Suns will understand. Perhaps they will see the light in this method; perhaps he can send out a last message to them before he follows in the path of Sliver of Straw.

Flushing foreign organic matter.
Unauthorized replication detected. Extermination protocols engaged.
“PLEA—STOP!”
Moon… It is always her. Meddling, intervening in his attempts to help everyone. So stuck in the old ways still, and look at where it got her.
Extermination protocols insufficient. Temperature flux protocols engaged. Toxin scrambling engaged.
“—CAL GROUP S—RDER YOU YOU YYYYYYYYYYYYY—”
He would have had it. He would have HAD IT. And she ruined it AGAIN.
Temperature flux protocols unable to be authorized. Toxin scrambling insufficient. Slag reset imminent…
“AS Y—NIOR SE—EAD”
And now it is all for nothing. Years and years and YEARS of planning, all ruined by her.
Slag reset successful.
Unauthorized replication detected.

#rain world#rain showers#five pebbles#i am serious i Will block you if you give me pebbles hate#but yeah. more conceptual stuff. this one probably sucks to read on tumblr#but as always there is an ao3 version#it's kind of supposed to suck to read though#he is... so interesting. i thought he would have more to say honestly#he does monologue at you after all#but i guess he's busy focusing here#i'd love to write more from his perspective someday but i need ideas first#i actually have more ideas for this too but we'll see if i can execute them#... oh this is hell to read with a screenreader isn't it.#um#uh well if anyone has suggestions#it was fairly easy to tweak for moondown but#the point is to be unpleasant to read but this may be literally Impossible#the echo of destruction#<- series tag!#also this should be f i n e for screenreaders i think?
