I just personally have a hc that Sirius and James laughed at the most inappropriate moments. Getting told off by a teacher? they'd share a look and start giggling. Getting themselves into dangerous situation? cackling as they escaped. Being told devastating news? started howling to lighten the moment. Close call during the full moon? chuckling when they talked about it the next day. Finding out that your best friends have been killed? Of course Sirius would start laughing, it was what they always did

I have no clue if tumblr ate the ask or not (if it didn’t, I apologize for the double posting) BUT

BUT

Im glad to see so much art of Robbie getting so many friends who roughhouse with him, especially after the Robbie lore dump (possibly by coincidence? Since it wasn’t here) because he deserves friends who can handle and even match his energy :)))

YEAHHH IM GLAD TOO!! specially for a lonely guy like him,, he’s dumb and sometimes even criminal in what he does, but my golly he’s a really excited and happy guy,,,,,

the king had forsaken everything he ever did and fled into his dreams leaving only his dead selfdom and unheard repentance, littering the land in the forms of statues and black eggs and failed tramways and dead children. his corpse somewhere at the end of the world where you can follow his spine to the top and then back, his dreams locked so tightly behind his shame you have to shatter numerous other stories around you just to gain access to his, an act parallel to his reign and his life. you have to fight and you have to demand to get to the pinnacle of what he was so ashamed of and it was love, it stained the sacrifices everyone made in his name, once done with resolution and trust now in vain. the king had a clear beginning, peak, and ending whether in dream or death it wont matter because now he's gone, and the world moved on without him and despite him.

the queen is still there. she imprisoned herself and had a limited view of what was happening on the outside but she knew enough to tell that the plan she played such a big part in has failed. yet somehow, within minutes of meeting you after so long down in her paralyzed kingdom she asks you to do it all over again. the fate of her kingdom is up to you and she makes that clear. she reminisces the past and she does not acknowledge its death. the king's story had an ending, you could argue that he gave it to himself. the queen's is in limbo, she absolutely gave it to herself. you could not change her mind and neither could flowers. and you could not make her face what she has done.

you leave her there.

The Naruto timeline is killing me. I know the general idea is that it’s been ~60 years since Konoha formed but everyone’s talking like Konoha has existed for forever.

It doesn't make sense! Tsunade is in her 50s in canon! she shouldn't talk about Konoha like it was well established when she was a child! By saying Tsunade is Hashirama's granddaughter instead of his daughter, we must interpret that Hashirama had a child like. a decade before Konoha formed, so that when Konoha is 10, Tsunade is born. But that's BATSHIT. that means anyone older than sixty– an age even front line shinobi can reach as evidenced by Hiruzen, and surely an age shinobi that specialize in skills that are less directly combative/take them out of the village often, MUCH LESS CIVILIANS!! You cannot make propaganda good enough to make an entire generation of senior citizens forget that your honorable village hasn't even hit a century.

There is such a big deal made of Hiruzen remembering a time before Konoha and so you expect him to be like. late 80s or 90s. old enough to makes him recalling that time suitably rare. old enough that every shinobi is like. wow. you're hot shit and also God Of Shinobi. But he's SIXTY EIGHT. Sakura's civilian grandparents probably remember a time before Konoha. This is not that big of a accomplishment. I don't care if Kishimoto thinks 60 years is a long ass time to a shinobi. It just doesn't work for the sort of worldbuilding he's trying to sell.

My only options are to either stretch the timeline to fit the vibes of "Konoha has been around soooooo long (while still be relatively new in the grand scheme of things)" or scrap all that "Konoha is ancient" shit.

......So. I’ve stretched it to Konoha being formed 100 years ago when canon starts (the year Naruto graduates the Academy). This is more reasonable, making it so that no one alive really Remembers A Time Before, making Konoha's propaganda much more effective.

This, however, has had some significant impact on Hiruzen's generation because even though I have made them significantly older when canon starts (like. mid 80s) they were still born about ~20 years after Konoha was founded. Early enough that some instability was around and Hiruzen's generation could personally know Hashirama and Tobirama, but they don't actually have any experience living through the Warring Clans Era. This has likewise made the Sannin much much older– around the same age as Hiruzen actually is in canon.

But Tsunade's age actually makes sense for her being Hashirama's granddaughter now! So there's that!

I got thinking about Splashtail today and something that I've been stuck on is just how young he is. I kept thinking he is awfully young to get involved in a conspiracy to replace his Clan's leadership, especially to think he deserves a shot at being leader himself. But the more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

Mistystar has made some really bad choices in the past two arcs. RiverClan was weak enough to get conquered by Darktail, and afterwards, Mistystar shut off all communication with other Clans — to everyone's detriment — for the purpose of "giving RiverClan time to recover" but it honestly felt more like a choice made by paranoia to me. And of course in TBC, she sided with "Bramblestar" even to the point of exiling two warriors to appease him, even when it was clear to almost everyone else that something was wrong with him and obeying him was wrong. She's appeared as increasingly weak and illogical as time has gone on and she's gotten older.

This is the RiverClan that Splashtail grew up in. The only RiverClan he's ever known is one weakened by Mistystar. And for a good portion of his life, the Clans have been terrorized by the hunt for codebreakers while StarClan has been absent. If he's the sort of guy to naturally have doubts and concerns about these sorts of things, it makes a lot of sense that he would end up disdainful towards Mistystar and StarClan and want to change things. I think in this case, his youth is what makes all this make sense to him.

More elaboration on ep6, from this post

So I do think imma split ep6 into 2 parts. Jsut because I do want to go more into detail about heaven and sera

Cause it's clear Sera doesn't LIKE doing the extermination, but thinks it's necessary. I also wanna add some stuff into the trial

Lute asks why angle didn't get here in heaven, and charlie says that 'because he DID committed sins. I'm not denying that- but he's TRYING he's getting better- he's not perfect, but he's trying the best he can, and he deserves a second shot."

I wanna add in them challenging chalries pov more, cause I do think there are flaws in it, like. Not ever sinner should be redeemed. Not every sinner wants to be redeemed. And there are vile souls down in hell

Like, I'm sure not all are evil, and some are down there for small sins or, like, killing someone in self-defense. But there are absolutely vile people like Valentino down there that shouldn't be redeemed

And I also kidna wanna make that part of charlies character arc, realizing not everybody SHOULD be redeemed. Not everybody deserves a second chance.

And I wanna like, explore that more in the trial, it want it to focus on back and forths. And then when Sera is starting to seriously consider that 'hey, maybe this could work, we could try and examine souls again' Lute and Adam try to rig it in their favor

Exposing Vaggie, but at the same time what they did, helping Charlies point. And then exposing EMILY when that fails

And oh boy, is that a shit show! I think Sera would be too in shock to really do anything in the moment, and I do think Adam would kinda take advantage of that, like 'those people corrupted your sister and made her fall can we kill them? Pleaseeeee'

And I think he'd spat out a 'fine' just so he leaves her a lone to process it all. She 100% regrets giving him an okay later once she's processed it all, but it's too late by that point

Side note; a theory I have is that she was fed false information, maybe by Adam maybe by lillith, that Hell was planning an uprising. We'll, I have to see

Okay, firstly, disclaimer that I think comparing everything (including modern antisemitism) to the Holocaust does more harm than good in most cases—but I also think there’s a need to discuss this and I don’t know how to get through to these people without using the Holocaust as a tool for comparison, since that’s the only frame of reference they seem able to understand.

So, back in the 1930s/early 1940s Germany, there were a lot of Germans who didn’t actually hate Jews. They weren’t, like, gleefully salivating over the mass murder of a bunch of Jewish children or going around their city to find Jews to hand over to the Gestapo; they were people, like you and me, going about their lives. They might have even been against Hitler’s policies against Jews.

But maybe they also had a neighbor they didn’t like, who happened to be Jewish. And they didn’t dislike their neighbor because of that—maybe he was a verified asshole who kicked puppies in his spare time—they disliked him for reasons that had nothing to do with his Jewishness. But that still didn’t stop these good Germans who didn’t hate Jews for being Jewish from utilizing the systemic antisemitism in their society to get rid of someone they didn’t like, and calling the Gestapo to come collect.

And that is what you, who say “I don’t hate Jews, just Zionists,” are acting like. Because when you say you don’t hate Jews, just Zionists, while still engaging in behaviors that directly harm Jews—including Zionist or Israeli Jews—you are still being antisemitic. It doesn’t matter what you feel, if the Jew in question is good or bad, if you might have made a different choice had the Jew at risk been a different one. If you are utilizing your society’s antisemitism against a Jewish person or people to get what you want, then you are perpetuating violence against us, just like those good Germans did.

I've finally caved in and upgraded my phone, after 6 years, some apps were refusing to work on my phone and they were the crucial ones: banking, Uber, the works. While watching Fontaines D.C.'s Glasto set with my friend, I blurted at that in honour of their fantastic performance, my new phone's wallpapers, breaking a nearly decade-old tradition of using artwork from Muse's The Resistance, was going to be Fontaines-themed. That was also when I realised there weren't really a lot of Fontaines motifs and designs out there, and I didn't just want to use a picture of the band, that's not wallpaper material, that's a photograph!

So I've decided to make some, I think some are better than others, but I'll share them all. Here you go, Fontaines D.C. lockscreens/wallpapers!

Suggest other lyrics I could work on without drawing stuff by hand, I'm out of town and don't have any tools on me

one thing low self esteem will do to you is that it will convince you that no one could possibly value their relationship with you or even on a lighter level like. thinking people don't care about anything you say and that your words don't have impact on people. and what that leads to is you being completely unaware when you hurt other peoples feelings and being unable to consider how something you view as innocuous or funny could be hurtful and mean to someone else. like even if you have a hard time understanding that you have value as a person you have to understand that you have a lot of control of the way you effect other people and no one is intrinsically aware of what is going on in your head. you've got to care about other people and think about what's going on for them and yes empathy is hard but empathy can be learned. and sometimes u gotta figure it out and teach it to yourself.

me on one second of rejection sensitive dysphoria: i need to go to the clurb and get schwasted*.

*i do not need to go to the clurb and get schwasted, i have never gone to the clurb and gotten schwasted, the desire to do so stems from a skewed need for outside validation to fill the space of the validation that i did not receive from one specific person which is a good thing because if i did it would have fostered an unhealthy attachment that i have struggled to let go of.

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

why is everything (showing other people respect. being patient and kind. not flying off the handle about stupid things. emotional regulation and self-control. et cetera.) so easy when I'm not around my parents and so so so so hard when I AM around them?

[riiviir]

i wanna know more about kyer and alisia, their designs are super cool and the stuff u said about them in tags sounds super interesting!!

AA PEOPLE BEING INTERESTED IN MY OCS

so. they're both major characters in this RPG I would really like to make someday called The Mission Of Imperium.

Basically everyone is aware of the 4th wall, Players are seen as an entity that must be summoned when the world is faced with a dilemma that ordinary heroes cannot solve.

however, Players need a vessel.

in this particular story, Kyer is The Intended Vessel. they were chosen for this role because they tend to be a pushover and thus would be easy for the Player to control.

Alisia has been Kyer's best friend since childhood, and planned to go with them and basically be the Game's deuteragonist while Kyer would be the protagonist. she doesn't trust the Player, nor does she particularly like the idea of Kyer being possessed, but she is willing to let this happen and support their decision to act as a vessel.

however, when the player tries to inhabit Kyer's body, it is revealed that they are actually unable to act as a vessel. having the Player inhabiting them causes a lot of pain and could lead to death (that the Player would not be able to respawn them from) within less than an hour if the Player is not removed from their body.

Because of this, the Player ends up switching vessels last minute, causing Alisia to become the Player's vessel. she hates this, but for the fate of the world and the fact that she seems to be doing just fine as a vessel, she ends up becoming the Game's protagonist.

aside from the main conflict of "go defeat evil and save the world", this story centers a lot around the Player being able to make whatever choices they want regardless of what Alisia and Kyer want. and boy do I have plans regarding that

Please BE EXCITED about stuff you like/ want to be excited about 💞 That's what life supposed to be about, finding joy in the smallest things, in the things we enjoy and love. And the people that judge us for having that joy in our hearts lose their own life, because they spend too much time judging someone else's life instead of doing something with their own. FUCK them

this is one of my favorite asks and i love you
