Check it out guys I found a BEE!

I asked him to say something punny like "where's my BUZZband", and he stung me and told me to shut up :(

#thsc #the henry stickmin collection #rhm #right hand man #right hand bee #I'm super proud of the shadow #like stupidly proud #copperright #how did he sting me without dying?#uh #the magic of old man yaoi #same magic that turned him into a bee #he's BEEing a BEE it's what he does

like. it’s complicated, right. bruce didn’t want to see dick hurt; he hurt dick trying to prevent it. he tried to save jason’s life; it killed him. he wanted to show steph the right path forward; he pushed her to hurt herself and others. he loves cass and admires her abilities; he pushes her to be more vigilante than human.

(i don’t have a great pithy way to summarize tim or damian or duke or babs, so i won’t try to, but their relationships are similarly complex and difficult with bruce and with the other bats.)

point is, there are no easy dynamics and there is nothing that is purely good, because the vigilantism fucks all of them up, and bruce, as the driving force behind that vigilantism, fucks them up, too. that’s just how it is. and that’s not to say he doesn’t love or care for them, it’s just that he isn’t very good at parenting them, despite being an excellent mentor and teacher in other ways.

#text.tb #do you get it. do you understand.#he is both their savior and their killer he is the one who takes them in and the one who rejects them #and that’s what makes it INTERESTING #and he does it with EVERYONE. it’s just that most of the other people are adults! and care for themselves!#it doesn’t MATTER if bruce doesn’t want helena here bc helena isn’t his ward #he can make things hard for her but she won’t feel the same stinging rejection (most of the time)#because she’s a grown ass woman capable of caring for herself without his intervention #and that dynamic is amplified and made all the more complex #when the man who doesn’t WANT you to be there #is the one who BROUGHT YOU INTO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE #anyway. god i swear. i swear !!!#metaposting

its not a 1:1 but im still thinking about explaining the clamp devilman doujin and vague devilman lore to the holic discord and suddenly being overwhelmed w the urge to draw doumeki as 1980s OVA akira w the eyeliner and half open silk shirt and watanuki as ryo, having ripped apart the world and his beloved before realising his feelings, doomed to repeat an endless cycle where he realises too late and throws his life away for an unfeeling god and a belated love or whatever idk all that gay shit

#it wouldnt be a one to one comparison but the scene in the clamp ova of ryo constantly repeating a loving fluffy future that cannot be #while being trapped in a cage surrounded by angels pitying his divine form for longing for an impossible dream is just #damnnnn #raw as hell #its NOT a direct comparison obviously but it does give rou vibes #anyway the doumeki eyeliner tweet the other day was all akira fudos fault #we deserve doumeki slutting it up as a cunty man demon with a half open shirt to show off the goods #although he's far from the naive person akira starts off as i just think he would pull off the look #the ryo as watanuki thing is more apt solely cause of the sweet sweet sting of denial #even if doumeki is more likely to tear up the world for watanuki its fun to imagine #douwata #xxxholic #art ideas i will never get round to #but i sure love thinking about #douwata dinner theater

been thinking a lot about womanhood lately

#like. i don't exactly identify as being a woman. in contrast i do have a strong nonbinary/muunsukupuolinen identity #yet i do feel and acknowledge that in most contexts i AM a woman #not only because that's what most of the world sees me as but that's also consecuently how i move through the world #there is no one set way for women to experoence the world but i do feel like my experience is one of those. because i am gendered as a woman #it used to make me uncomfortable and dysphoric and i'm not saying that now it never does #but i have made my peace with it? like. i feel like i have “let womanhood in” as a part of my identity #and i have also realized that it's not actually being seen as a woman that makes me uncomfortable but being seen SOLELY as a woman #like my friends calling me a woman or my partner calling me their girlfriend doesnt sting usually #because i know they also see the other parts of my gender identity #but when a coworker refers to me with she/her or includes me in “ladies” it stings. because i know that's all they see #like YES i can be a woman. if you acknowledge that i am a bit of a weird woman.#i can be a woman if you acknowledge that i am a gnc woman. a bisexual woman. a queer woman. a woman who is sometimes bit of a man.#if you see and acknowledge that we can talk #however i am NOT a nonbinary woman. i am nonbinary AND a woman. which to some people is the same thing #but to me it's an important distinction. being nonbinary and being a woman are both parts of my gender identity but in very different ways #and very distinctively. lumping them together as equal parts of my identity as i feel the term “nonbinary woman” does doesn't describe me #i am enthusiastically nonbinary. i am begrudgingly a woman. i'm a woman with a long footnote explanation. woman¹ #“nonbinary woman” also doesnt feel like it accommodates the way i relate to manhood or boyhood. but that's a whole another tedtalk #i'm not a man but i like how it looks. and i'm not a man i'm just borrowing parts of it for genderfuckery reasons #idk how to explain it in english...#in finnish i would say that en oo mies mut joskus lainaan tai iahn vaa ihailen asioita mieheyden kuvastosta.#but because in social situations and In Our Society That We Live In you mostly can just choose one gender and it's either man or a woman #thennout of those i would rather be a woman. legally. with strangers. you know. not a woman but kind of yes because i relate to other women #if i could be seen only as nonbinary i would. but then again my nonbinaryness does encompass some parts of both womanhood and manhood.#so i guess people would have trouble seeing it as “only nonbinsry”#idk man. it's complicated and also changes emphasis multiple times a year #ask me again a month from now and the gender landscape will be interpreted completely differently #gender #nowe talks

losing online friends is usually so much less dramatic than losing irl friends but it still like. hurts

#like im not talking about the dramatic blow ups im talking abt when you just kinda stop talking #one person or both get busy with real life and aren't online anymore #it's weird bc it's like? you feel like you're not allowed to be as upset bc you were Online Friends but at the root of it #if you used to talk to someone every day and now you don't. that is a Feeling to process #obviously do what's right for you and i hope everyone is thriving irl but it does sting????#idk like. used to know details of your life even your irls didn't and now we dont' talk anymore :/ bummer man #also we gotta stop undervaluing friendships that are mostly/all digital they can still be important relationships #idk im feeling emo tonight #love love love my friends we are besties for real <3

i love making comics that are just "this might make you cry your eyes out but at least the characters are with you on that"

#🎤🐛#i say this as i just wrote another comic dialogue about belos getting the shittiest father figure of the year award #yknow one thing about me is that i love writing belos like mother gothel #just to make it sting more. and it does. it does sting.#maybe not with you but definitely with me. ouch. that hurts.#so as fucked up as it sounds i love including sweet words and hints of belos actually caring for hunter #even hugs and warm smiles #but its all fake. always remember that with my art. its all fake.#the I love you's are fake. the I dont want you to get hurt's are fake.#its like. bad! no! danger! danger! but the boy raised by this man doesnt realize that #am i projecting? always #does it hurt? yes #will i make this comic anyways? sure

Screaming crying throwing up curled up on yhe floor sobbing weeping ect ect I miss them SO much (PNGs with voice lines that live in my phone that I can look at any time)

#FINALLY picked up engage again and collected all the dlc emblems (from both waves)#saved veronica for last bc i knew she'd be the one i'd be the most autistic about #i love her she's SO funny. chronic baby disease. insisting we're working for her actually.#completely out of touch with her own emotions (FELT).#bloodlust.#she really does have the funniest combination of traits and i love that for her #but MAN..... her map and her EXISTING as a 3d model ON A CONSOLE GAME.....#getting this TINY glimpse into what askr/embla would look like in a 3d space........ (feel like the map is more modeled after askr?)#i feel so fucking rabid about it. frothing at the mouth. i am SO normal (LYING THROUGH CLENCHED TEETH)#i'm just imagining a perfect world where we also have emblem alfonse and sharena in a bracelet together.#i KNOW sharena would get shafted but indulge me. do not separate them first of all.#and second i just think it would be insanely interesting actually???? like. how is alfonse coping.#i think becoming a jewelry ghost would be on the top ten list of worst things to happen to him specifically #i think he'd put his all into serving whoever has him as now this is his responsibility. he is just as closed off as ever though #if not worse having to go through centuries of losing anyone he'd accidentally make any connection with #sharena is probably the only reason he's somewhat sane. she grounds him.#and also sharena???? ohhh i think there is SO much potential there!! she is always SO eager to hopefully befriend --#anyone who finds their bracelet.#i think being trapped in a bracelet has had the opposite effect on her. her desire for outside connection #and friendship only gets stronger. i think the loneliness stings more.#and i think having them together like. HUGE potential to put them side by side and see how they really do parallel each other #same issues different ways of coping. different reactions. i think their engage skill would reflect this. somehow.#also i think they'd both look soooo cute in the engage artstyle 😭😭😭😭#what the fuck ever. explode 💥💥💥

#brain ran out of wwdits hype juoce and now i am profoundly sad #it is just cause its late but man....😔#I'm thinking about my shit 20th birthday #sent a 'hey its my bday does anyone wanna go for drinks' text to the gc (sweating hands shaking almost passed out muted my phone for 8hrs)#and then everyone came and talked about their own relationship/mental health issues for like max 3hrs and then went home #and last week my best friend had her 20th bday #and the other friends had like. baked a cake gotten her gifts wrote cards #and like i know im not as close w the other ones as my bff is #but man it did sting a lot #at one point one of em said like 'we did all this because we care about you we wouldnt do it if we didnt care'#and ngl i almost cried then and there #but yea kept it together didnt say anything didnt ruin my bffs bday #and the rest of the party was rly fun #but it just #i wish i had friends like that #and ik im not like. like i dont know how to talk n stuff ik im not as easy to be friends with i know im super anxious n awkward like always #but like #u didnt have to say the whole 'we wouldnt do this if we didnt care'#on my birthday i cried from like 3am to 6am and then pulled myself together and went to a hotel breakfast w no sleep #and like. didnt even feel like shit in the morning so it turned out ok in the end i guess #but looking back it was kind of. fucked up #but yea even the fact that im thinking about it now means i should just go to sleep probably #or i guess i didnt ever rly process it but still #lets hope writing this to my diary (the internet where everyone can see it)#releases some of the pent up. stuff #yeaj #my post #vent #rant #whichever it is

idk how to phrase this but I wish there was a way for me to filter out fics on ao3 that describe Bill as "incapable of feeling love" in a "woe is me, the nonhuman character cannot feel this random emotion, Ford would be so much happier if only Bill was Capable of Feeling Love" way

#godsrambles #people are allowed to write ford thinking this way. its not like 1980s science man ford would know anything about aro identities #i just personally cant deal with running into this specific thing again in fics about these two.#i cant do it im not strong enough.#maybe bc i partly approach this ship in an escapist way of 'imagine 2 weird guys who dont care about amatonormative relationship standards'#i love angst i just cant stand being Suddenly hit on the head with the hammer of:#'no matter how much bill cares in his own way no matter what bill does ford will still be sad that he cant feel Love' in fic after fic #'ford might TELL bill its okay but deep down he would really be happier if bill felt love the Right Way'#cant stop thinking about this. its come up at least 3 times in 3 separate fics. and they are well written ones too.#give me angst about Anything else. Please. Anything Else #but i cant even read new fics on ao3 at the moment bc theres a nonzero chance I'll run into this AGAIN.#it is simply Not For Me. its fine for people to write angst from that angle i just want a wider range of content about nonhuman characters #i just am tired of it being such a Common Thing brought up with villains monsters and nonhumans #the issue is the Trend not any individual writing it #which is why ive been so reluctant to even voice my frustration. bc its really honestly not any one fic writers fault #i also want to give people the benefit of the doubt. its *possible* for ford to subconsciously see monstrousness and lack of ability to #-love as connected without the *author* subconsciously thinking it also. its just. complicated and hard to know #i just want to be able to filter it out so i stop getting hit with reminders that the ability to love is seen as a key part of being human #by so many people #it stings even more with it being *ford* thinking these things too #like. fords Whole Thing is embracing abnormality and strangeness.#so if even *he* cant fully embrace being with someone who doesnt feel Love... :(

have officially decided i’m not settling for some dude who can’t even text back n gets fucking pissed when i wanna be treated right or shown some common decency, like why don’t you go back to thirsting over 30 diff women on fb who’ll never give you the time of day kid

#like dude claims to be sooo into me n wanna date me yet consistently treats me like shit stands me up stings me along #we’ve been talking since before last easter n still haven’t met the dude #bc all he does is stand me up n make excuses ab him being busy #when i’m sure he’s just a other bitches #like mans just insults me n makes me feel like this is what i deserve #n for what???#i’d rather be alone at this point #all ppl know how to do is disappoint n disrespect #like god ima be alone forver at this point #will be the first 40 yr old to never have a bf ever or been on a date lmaoo #that’s just life tho if you’re not in high school men don’t take you on dates

so apparently my way older half brothers both went to a t*ump rally, one as a joke and another genuinely. they continue to have no real value to me beyond using them to be like “lol i have two brothers in their 50s” to shock people

#tho i feel like its dying out now that we’re all older so less ppl care i think #man tho. we werent close at all but that does sting #echoed voice #in case ur wondering how i didnt know btw they live a state away and we literally never talk #i didnt even know one had cancer at one point bc they only want to talk to dad and dad himself isnt talkative abt that kinda thing

thinking about. womanhood again

#been thinking about how much of the way i have let some kind of womanhood in as a fragment of my identity is infleunced by me thinking that #'well people are going to gender me as a woman anyway so might as well accept it'#and i think that's a part of it (not a thought i overall enjoy. feels somehow defeatist or like i'm giving in or whatever.)#(which i dont think it is but it's a kneejerk reaction)#i do also think that the way i have been actively trying to unpack some of my internalized misogyny has a part in it #i'm not proud to say that i did grow up as a girl who thought womanhood (as it was presented to me at the time)#sounds stupid and way too much effort and unrelatable #but now that my view of the different ways to experience and relate to womanhood have broadened #i can say that i do feel some connection to it. even if i dont usually really claim it as wholly mine #and that acceptance has made it easier to be perceived as a woman in my day to day life #i'm not saying it never stings but. isk it's a bit different #i have said it before but the main thing that bothers me is being seen always and only as a woman.#like i can be a little bit of a woman and Kind Of Like a woman or a close approximate of a woman #but if Woman is all people see my gender as that stingsss #just like being seen solely as a man stings too #(this doesnt happen often so usually it feels more like a fun gender sprinkled in.#or like. it affirms my gender by telling me that i can confuse people)#like. i'm not really a woman i'm not really a man but those are the two options currently recognized by most of society #so a mix of both feels like the best case scenario for me personally genderwise #because gender neutral terms dont always just. hit the same for me as mixing gendered ones does. this varies greatly though #but also i would like to. hm. how to say this. not make that into a rule for myself? i dont want to overthink it #(<- says a guy who has never not overthought anything)#like i have been finding a lot of joy in dressing a bit more masculine in the last year which is wonderful #but sometimes i find myself stressing that if i look 'too masc' people are going to misread my identity more often #because i have a masc leaning chosen name and all #but i try to remind myself that. bitch people are going to misread and misunderstand your gender no matter what you do. relax #but idk. anyway abolish gender so i can start stressing over something else #nowe talks #gender

Man one of my friends has a habit of accidentally saying or doing stuff that hurts me and I never know what to do cuz like I dont wanna be criticizing her/telling her off every 2 days cuz I KNOW she never means any harm so I know when she says/does hurtfull stuff she doesnt mean it but like it still hurts yk ??? But anytime i do tell her i feel like an ass and the thing is it doesnt make me feel any better cuz when she apologizes i just feel bad for her. But likee also i notixe the frustration building up within myself from her repeatedly hurting my feelings. But its never super big stuff and i dont wanna make her feel bad cuz like idk man shes so. Just like, fragile I guess that anything that makes her sad or upset immediately makes me feel horrible like its the emotional equivalent of yelling at a child or.something. BUT ALSO SHE JUST KEEPS HURTING ME !!!! genuinely from the bottom of.my heart askimg wtf im supposed to do like do I just swallow it down and wait for the feeling to pass. Or what. Cuz like its never lingering serious hurt or anything but it just keeps building up but like also she never criticzes me for anything and so by comparison i DO already "criticize" her a lot I guess and like. Man idk genuinely I dont know what to do

#Ok so like for example. I was wathcing a show rn and a character died. and i had been texting my friend a bit about the show over the last #few days as i was watching it so its not like it just came completely out of the blue . and i sent like a video of the death scene and #said something expressinf sadness about it like 'NOOOO WTF' or whatever and she just didnt respond to that at all and started talking about #something else so i thought maybe she missed it so i like drew attention to it again and she was like 'i dont know that character i had #nothing to say'#BRO ????#I dont. know most of the things my friends ever talk about and i still go along.#and like she does stuff like that at least once a week and its like. idk man obviously its not a big deal but its just something that #stings yk??#and like she has a lot of idk mannerisms or habits that just make me feel dumb or like im being stupid and its so frustrating idk #and like idk cause sometimes she acts idk normally enthusiastic but randomly out of nowhere she says stuff that makes me feel like im being #stupid if that makes sense ??#or like she ALWAYS has something negative or disagreeing to say and on one hand it feels dumb to get annoyed by it but like idk??#for example one time i was watcbing a movie and texted her a pic of the lead actor and said 'his face is like the exavt opposite of mine'#like as a sort of joke cause my face is soft with idk prominent features and that guys face was sharp with well idk sharper features like #he just looked like the opposite of me yk?? and it was clearly a joke #but.like she replied like 'i dont really see it' and started in detail comparing our faces ??#and like idk cuz like it annoyed me and made me feel stupid and also she has a habit of overanalyzing her and other peooles.looks and i #fucking HATE IT #but like at the same time well if that was her organic reply am I not a dick for getting annoyed ??? but like it just annoyed me idfk #and its always stuff like that but i feek like an ass if im always tellinf her everything she does wrong (obviously i dont do that but itd #feel lime that) and being so idk overly critical but also some small part of me just has started to resent her cause ???#she keeps accidentally saying stuff that hurts me and makes me feel stupid and in school she always keeps touching me and making annoying #noises and like ???? idk what it is cause i usually really like her and we are very close but sometimes she just does stuff that #IMMEDIATELY drives me up the wall ????#but like honest to god what if im the problem. ?? like am i overreacting or like accidentally being mean??#But like . the way she communicates i dont see a point in trying to tell her that she has a habit of accidentally hurting me cuz #what would it change except make her feel bad if that makes sense ??#and also its like. like then she'd probably be less comfortable around me cuz shes worried abt hurting me . or like itd be #awkward like when you kmow someones only doing smth cuz you asked them to yk ??

i can’t say yolanda swoop in this week bc she had that phone call with her mother but

#alli says shit #stargirl spoilers #that phone call did hurt like damn #like yolanda’s mom does suck but man that dynamic of like #not wanting to tell them bc she doesn’t trust them to keep her secret but also to keep them safe?#maybe i just get so attached to teen superheroes bc that secret keeping from even your parents is like. yeah #that thing of like ‘they hurt me but i don’t want them to get hurt’. it stings #having the artemis n barbara scene back to back with that #they said we are coming for all of u with dead AND shitty parents #anyways i know we have two episodes left but i am hoping for like one lil interaction between artemis and yolanda
