#and finally unexplainable

[cupids-fiction]

listening to the code, eurostar, and unexplainable in that order consecutively is like having a steak knife twisted 180* in your little trans heart and then getting the shit beat out of you by an electric eel and then on top of that also being hit by a truck

opposite order however is great 10/10 very healing

I don't know what happened, I blacked out, and the only thing I remember is I needed to draw Bojan in Nemo's outfits... so... yeah

thoughts on finale: entirely serviceable if not eyeroll inducing at some parts and hair-pullingly obtuse at others. i dont like box existing but 1. everyone saw it coming from a mile away and 2. for a show with intentions (in the later stages of its production and writing) to tie up all loose ends and explain everything logically it would make no sense to Not explain box in some capacity and the explanation they did give works fine. i have no issues with box as a character shes cute i liked her interactions with suitcase oomf is obsessed with sinjin drowning it all works out.. buttt it is that second bullet that wears at me like chronic back pain in a more general sense relating to ii. ive talked about it before, its the evolution of ideals with where the writers want to take the show. i feel like ii works best either when its Being goofy (early ii2 is peak) or when its taking itself extremely seriously (ii14 was good), but they try to mesh those two extremes into one being and it does not work whatsoever. you can watch the slider go from one extreme to the other going from season 1 to ii2 finale. Theres really no cure to this, the conditions they evidently worked under of We must make it serious and We cannot retcon past episodes created what we got and While there is so much i can nitpick and a lot of things i dislike about it, when looking at it as a whole i think the final product is.. serviceable. ii's writing is a victim of circumstance, with the circumstance being A passion project stretched across more than a decade of production that (keyly) started when the creators were children. i just wish something ive spent so many hours thinking about and talking about and bonding with others over and creating fanart for had a more solid foundation. i appreciate what it is while simultaneously mourning what couldntve been. i hope that makes sense

How're ya holding up with the newest lore? Personally, I was not prepared and now im destroyed emotionally :'ll

oh it was brilliant. in the end it felt like a big fuck you to all the people that ruined dsmp..... like it felt like this is what the whole point of what ctommy is. in the end he is the embodiment of humanity of change of growth of love.. finally getting to see that for real meant that everything he did was for something. even if though he WOULDNT do it again he still did, and he still lived and persevered. it was the perfect way to finally bring closure to dsmp, to the fandom.

it also feels like the end of everyones childhood. most people (including me lol) were so young when they first got into it, and are now so much more mature and grown up. we got to grow along with ctommy, and finally being able to see his happy ending felt like closure to my own childhood. its very nice

caroline must have been so sick when insidious came out

Usually, when something weird happens in Duty Support/Trusts, I can understand the reason why it happened. An NPC stood in AOE? When AOEs aren't scripted, they dodge the first AOE, but aren't programmed to handle if a second is placed on them or where they're dodging to. Healer died in a boss fight? Either I was pointing the boss in a way the NPC tank wouldn't have and therefore the healer was taking damage from attacks meant for me, or they stopped to heal and were targeted for an AOE and they dodged too late.

However, recently while fighting Dohn Mheg's final boss, I watched Alphinaud dodge out of the way of the slime their transformation was spewing, stand in the safe spot for a second, and then run back into the wave of sludge, spamming Galvanize to heal through the damage he was taking. I haven't the slightest idea what he was trying to achieve there, but it was amusing to watch nevertheless.

For context this was sent to me a day after me reacting to an extremely passive-aggressive, condescending post sent by the purple person with a 😬 emoji

And for even further context, this whole thing started because those two didn't want to see talk of topics they don't care for, and instead of not fucking engaging, just made everything into a fight

i think..... it's the pain inside. and/or they have experienced something "rare" that exposes them to a world nobody around them is privy to. it causes them to develop this empathy, this sensitivity for what they've undergone. but the nature of their powerful poignant emotions are so opaque, obfuscated, not fully understood by others, etc. often people around them know something is up or they get half the picture, never any real clarity. it's also too complex - there's too much wrapped up in it - for the person in question to even explain.

those moments where they break down or bare themselves open and nobody really gets what's actually going on with them. information or recounting memories doesn't matter either; it's more a perspective to the world, or a wavelength, or who they are as a whole that's at play.

i have mentioned cas has DID, before. this is the system

(cas operates like a system which has undergone a significant number of fusions and has been aware of themselves for a while)

[bri-does-art]

i know this probably won’t do much, let alone anything at all, but i’m sorry for the stress this site has caused you and so many other creators here. i’m not asking for you to stick around on here, but i hope you know just how meaningful you and your art have been on here. you’re amazing. /pos

Hey, this ask has done a lot more than you would think. Thank you, you are very sweet. <3

I've kind of made up my mind about what I'm gonna do for a while now, but I've simply been... too busy and overwhelmed to take the time to let you guys know. I'm not going to delete my tumblr, there's just. Too much here that I don't want to lose.

So far the game plan is: keep my tumblr. But do not upload anymore art or writing on it - not because it's gonna get scraped, because it was already getting scraped anyway, AI company deal or not. It's pretty much unavoidable at this point, unfortunately. I simply do not trust Tumblr with my data, if they're going to sell EVERYTHING, including private messages and such, so I'm not going to give it anything worthwhile to profit off of. Instead, I'm going to start uploading my art exclusively on Ao3, for now. I'll answer any asks I receive here on there too, as well. I'll figure some kind of system out. 🤔

The cool thing about uploading to Ao3 is that anyone subscribed to my profile or to the containment series I will make will get a notification anytime I upload something new. Having my art and writing in one place is likely going to be more convenient for you guys too, since you won't have to move across platforms to get the full experience. 😄It'll be different... but a platform getting too greedy for its own good won't stop me from finding ways to share my stories with y'all. I'll just find another solution.

(I've also been entertaining the idea of joining or making my own Discord server but. That one is a little more delicate. The idea of joining a server that has hundreds of members like a lot of this fandom's servers have, just. Makes me break into hives, lmao. (I am in the Ghost in the Machine fic server. I muted it an hour into joining, it was way too intense for me. |'D) That is way too many people, I simply cannot handle it. I'd be way more comfortable in a smaller group with a less rapid-fire rate of posting and conversation. I am also. Very picky about which servers I join, which makes asking for recommendations doubly awkward when I shoot them all down, haha... And making my own... Err, I can hardly keep up with a server I helped create for another fandom and mod for, I don't think I could handle two of them - I would need other people to handle the moderation for me, and I wouldn't trust just anyone to be a mod. I'd need to know them well enough to know I could trust them, and I... do not really know anyone in this fandom well enough to do that, sadly. I take server moderation very seriously, as someone who has had experience modding for forums back before social media was a thing. I do not know if that would make for a fun experience for everyone, and anyone who hasn't known that kind of supervised experience. It is comforting to me. It may be intimidating for others. So that's still a very hand-wavy, 'eehhhh' kind of thing still.)

All of this to say, that this isn't the last you'll see from me, far from it. I'll restrict my creative output to Ao3 for the foreseeable future, and I'll let you guys on here know when I make a new upload, so those of you who do not have an Ao3 account know when something new has happened.

So there you have it. 😊

Bizarre how not drawing actually feels like not being able to use a muscle or not eating i can actually feel myself relax a little when i get to sit down and spend time on a piece

[thetimelordbatgirl]

I feel like this is just a lot of us at RTD right now in wanting to know his thought process for a lot of the unexplaind shit in 73 Yards:
