i think its so funny when people take the way donnie acts at face value even though its a horrible lie because he's a horrible liar, while understanding leo is bullshitting very well despite him actually being GOOD at bullshitting. many such cases
#personal#rottmnt#although tbf its probably because with leo its unpacked more thoroughly in the movie#donnie is not a morally ambiguous emotionally unavailable bad boy. he is very sensitive actually#he's a little crybaby /aff#and like this isnt hidden. he isnt SECRETLY sensitive or secretly caring its very out in the open actually#he's not hiding it well AT ALL AND THEY ALL KNOW IT LMAOOOOOOOO#i think donnie's perception of himself is somewhat earnest and somewhat. not? he DEFINITELY thinks he's more evil than he actually is#BGHFHDHGJFHG#i think what causes him to lash out and struggle to communicate is his inability to articulate his feelings#they are just too big for him. like its the exact opposite of robotic#he cant force himself to give a fuck but when he DOES its too much#so he yells and lashes out or he shuts down completely#honestly i think the perception of him being too sensitive being a problem makes way more sense than the perception of him being 'robotic'#when it comes to struggles in how his family sees him at least#even in little ways you can see him take it pretty personally when he's insulted#he struggles to blow things off#and i think it would also explain his tendency to like. visibly calm himself down when he gets upset? its a thing he does a lot in the show#he desperately wants to destroy that perception of him because he's trying so hard to close himself off#he doesn't want to be the sensitive one that cant take anything. it especially works in line with his shell#it was a big inspiration for canary continuity tbh. donnie should struggle with being the sensitive one in fic more#mikey is more empathetic and he's more emotional but donnie's quicker to feel offended or take things personally#BACKED UP HEAVILY BY CANON#that 'you can be honest with me! no hard feelings' - 'he's lyinggggggg'#like he's not upset with them babying him as much as he is with them genuinely finding it frustrating that he can fall behind like that#and just cannot take shit like that. so he tries to pull back and not seem as affected as he is#theyre a very cuddly family but mind you they can be actually mean to each other like that!!

POV: You've met your childhood hero and she made you feel your feelings.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#minthara#minthara baenre#evil murder kitten#i know this is a choice that shows for all characters besides Shadowheart#but I feel like this would be minthara's honest response#physical affection is probably something that is extremely difficult for her#because it provides someone the perfect opportunity to get close to her and stab her#and i would not be surprised if physical affection is something that is difficult for her to do#and because she struggles with it - i feel like she would crave it more than anything#so when she cuddles with you and hugs you - she is taking a massive leap of faith that you won't take advantage of her vulnerability

Jayce is with Mel because it's easier. A queer reading of his relationship with Mel and Viktor reveals this dynamic: Viktor's declining health serves as a painful reminder of Jayce's original HexTech goals, yet he's pulled into the politics and trade that he finds easier to navigate.
Jayce struggles between focusing on trade and his true purpose, easily swayed by what feels simpler. His personal relationships mirror this; he connects with Mel due to their similar social standings—both are affluent and politically involved—while Viktor, from the Under City, is different in background and is disabled.
Jayce frequently shifts between Mel and Viktor, exemplified when he leaves Mel after their fling to visit Viktor in the hospital. In the painting scene (heaven's forbade I ever remember what happens each specific episode) scene, while discussing Viktor's prognosis with Mel, she distracts him by sharing her own trauma. I'm not sure if I want to consider this morally unsound, because I understand why Mel would do that, but the point is she did distract Jayce from his own issue.
In that same scene Jayce claims that nothing feels impossible with Mel, highlighting his comfort in her presence. Although he, dare I say, is in love with Viktor, his anxiety about his condition prompt him to seek solace in Mel. And that's just because that's how Jayce's character is. He's self-serving, and making an effort to protect his emotional state.
#this guy can't stand feeling bad even for a second#of course I haven't finished the first season yet so my opinion is bound to change#snd if it does I'll write about it more#i just think it’s interesting#honest opinion on Mel#i'm scared of her#I love her character and how she's affecting the plot#but holy damn if I knew her IRL I'd keep us at a distance if 20 miles at minimum#arcane#viktor arcane#jayvik#mel arcane#mel medarda#jayce talis#jayce x viktor#mel x jayce#queer reading

At this point the response Amanda gave about leaving main universe timebomb to fan’s imagination has made the rounds and I’d just like to say that not only is that dumb but the AU is low key (high key but I’m trying to be nice) a waste of their dynamic.
These two are weirdos. The reason the ship even exists is because they started making eyes at each other before a duel to the death with the corpses of enforcers all around them. The undertones of the bridge are situationally very bizarre and that’s what makes it fun.
Ekko has been hurt by Jinx, she’s killed his teammates and friends and pushed away his attempts to help her but he’s still willing to pull out their old kids game and smirk at her like that like this is some kind of mating dance.
Jinx likely at some point felt that he abandoned her like everyone else or at least wanted her to change, be Powder. But fighting her is accepting her as Jinx, she’s comfortable with their tussles. Comfortable enough that her blinding rage at Cait and Vi is put on hold for a second. She seems surprised when Ekko goes in seriously and we see that she has shot underneath and beside him multiple times to avoid hurting him.
They regularly fight violently but you know they would hate to see the other get hurt and would save them without a thought.
I could definitely see Jinx flirting with Ekko just to be annoying but getting flustered when he actually gets flustered. Like they want to kiss so bad and both of them are actively mad about it.
I guess the writers did cook with “always a dance with you.” cause a dance or game is always what comes to mind with these two.
Let them be weird.
#timebomb appreciation post I guess#they’re weird and I’m weird about them#after the fight to the death/ courtship ritual that kicked this thing off I was expecting a little more *spice*#Ao3 had me spoiled I guess#my hopes were too high#sorry you’ve got vanilla taste Amanda but#they didn’t let jinx be weird enough in season 2#and I know Ekko is considered the unproblematic one#but he’s got feelings for the trigger happy terrorist so let’s be honest he’s not all there#I say this all with affection of course#arcane critical#a little lighter this time#timebomb#arcane season 2#jinx arcane#ekko arcane

Hear me out...
Queer platonic relationship (QPR) Jayvik..
👉👈
#jayvik#jayce#viktor#arcane#for some reason them having a qpr relationship is sooo much interesting and more complex than the usual romantic one.. atleast to me lol#shitpost#arcane jayce#jayce arcane#viktor arcane#arcane viktor#their relationship is much more intimate and deeper than your regular “friendship” but it also doesn't fit right in the romantic undertone-#-as well.. like its a different kind of affection and attachment that is way more complex than just put it in a familial or romantic dynamic#but its my honest opinion of their dynamic#their still queer tho

hello I suddenly got into hunger games fics (from reels on instagram as one does) and I read an amazing fic series called.... the ashes of district twelve by silvercistern (now orphaned) and it was written in two thousand freaking twelve and it's so good that I've basically accepted it as canon?
and the peeta's pov fics that I wrote off for some reason are next on my list after a few other post mockingjay healing/growing together.
if anyone wants to come yell at me about thg or thg fics (granted I don't remember the details of the books) or has recs please do
#this is such an unexpected dive into my thg craze/nostalgia from 2012. but honestly thirteen year old me was so valid. i just love when you#you find that your character has remained so consistent throughout the ages#i need to deep dive into thg tumblr maybe. read some more fic or rewatch reread the books or movies#and hopefully my brain gets into reading new thg books mode#I'll be honest i think i wasnt *that* interested in tbosas (or is it tbosbas) because i didnt have much interest in reading snow's past/pov#like tbvh I'm probably not going to be analyzing the books to the level they're meant to be. and snow is way too negative to be compelling#to me. haymitch's story intrigued my interest since his past directly affects his behavior in thg with the characters i love#also I'd totally forgotten the dandelion thing and i saw it in an edit prompting a barrage of memories of me doodling dandelions#all over my notebooks#good times#reeba rambles#reeba talks#these two tags can coexist#my post#mine#thg#the hunger games

trying so hard to believe in the love I write about
#there was this person I was talking to and I just questioned their habit of pulling away in terms of their affection towards me#and like they ended up being just sorta mean?? maybe they didn't mean it intentionally but still they were sending me mixed signals and#+ in this conversation they spoke to me as if me being confused and getting the wrong impressions from those mixed signals was a me problem#and she just kept having this attitude of like “idk what to tell you” and like “oh I'm a dick now” like bro#and she was just kinda dismissive and she even got frustrated with me because she said I just had to accept there's no happy#+ resolution#like mb for liking you and wanting a positive outcome???#anyways she got super dry towards the end and so I really had nothing to do but leave#and I'm done with being the only one consistently affectionate and honest about my feelings and I'm done with the mixed signals#+ no matter how intentional or unintentional they are#and I can't be the only one trying to be hopeful like goddamn#ANYWAYS anyone who said being a lesbian is easier LIED#s.text#ugh I know the love I write about exists I've felt it but I just am getting more and more jaded about my chances of having it longterm

i know chris tried to read tabitha the administrative owl books to cece and she looked him dead in the eyes and said "this is boring daddy i wanna read something else :/"
#and he did try to argue with her about it but tbh he doesn't really like the books that much either#i think it's more nostalgia than genuine enjoyment that keeps him coming back to them. to be honest#like yes chris does have bad taste lol but these books are just BORING there's no way his whimsical child self actually liked them ghadlskj#he just didn't get very much affection from his mother being read to is the closest thing he gets :((#like i said get this kid some little golden books. and by this kid i mean both chris AND cece ahlkdjfsla#the goes wrong show#chris bean#cecelia bean#dad!chris#marshy speaks

I've always felt that it'd be Killua who initiates the first hug we see between him and Gon
#i have my reasons for this#i feel like i'm in the minority though... i know gon is honest and much more emotionally expressive#but he's not actually more tactile than killua#i... i actually do think that it's killua who initiates much of the contact between them (fistbumps and poking and hand on shoulder)#if i'm not mistaken anyways#and he's very tactile with alluka and nanika (carrying + hugs + handholding)#granted that's his sister(s) but still. killua is far from touch averse - his getting embarrassed is a cute trait to be sure#but i do think he'll get a bit better at accepting that kind of thing once he's had some time with alluka and nanika#a lot of that does come after all from his feelings of unworthiness - and now that his sisters need open affection after so long being alon#he's going to have to gain at least some comfort with giving and receiving love#gon and mito go for hugs either at the same time or mito initiates. gon hugs leorio in the scene right after he's revived#but idk idk i just feel like he won't be the first to initiate a hug with killua especially since i suspect he still feels quite guilty#i think it would show growth on both their parts. not to mention it'd be very sweet to have gon a bit blindsided + happily surprised#as he's the one typically honest and forthright with appreciation and compliments while killua is. not. lmao#i think he should receive a nice hug from his best friend. and then i think they would both know it's gonna be ok. :')#storyrambles#hunter x hunter#hxh#killua zoldyck#gon freecss#this is so sappy. what's wrong with me. this is what they do to me.#random thoughts

Been thinking for a while about this but basically it’s an au where all the non-godtier characters die and get reincarnated into the universe (and the ghost of the timeline so like tavros and nepeta and all them). And the story of home stuck is basically a religion in this world called sburbian religion and is based off early documentation from the Gods themselves about what happened but it’s been so long it’s been very skewed and misinterpreted so many times so. They got some things right and some wrong. But the idea of the story as a religion is so cool. But anyways Karkat gets reborn (and has the same name bc it’s basically a really common biblical name or something) and he *really* identifies with the stories he hears in the sburbian scriptures!! and he’s kinda obsessed and so he studies it fr and becomes a priest. And his sermons are super popular and compelling because he just seems to have insights that no one else does about the gods and their story! (His title of knight of blood pulling through) He is friends Kanaya(also reincarnated) who is in training to be a caregiver for the mother grub and she makes him special little priest outfits to wear for his sermons!!
I think eventually Rose would go to one of his sermons after hearing about how insightful and great they are and he somehow got a detail right that no one would know. And she sees him and is shocked and tries to talk to him but he’s obviously doesn’t recognize her and just thinks she’s an overzealous worshipper or something.
So then Rose goes and tells the other gods and cue holy esteemed high priest Karkat randomly getting pestered by the gods he worships but not realizing their gods and blowing up on them. Dave especially loves to bother him and tell him outrageous (blasphemous) things about the gods and watch him explode.
#homestuck#homestuck fanart#homestuck karkat#hs karkat#karkat vantas#dave strider#art#davekat#there’s more to this au but I will get into it later#inspired by fleabag ima be honest#fleabag#rose lalonde#homestuck rose#there’s so much I could do with this#ideas in my head#karkat#karkat fanart#karkat having super intense affection and deja vu with all these new people showing up to bother him

Thank you for reading my blog when it’s personal little life updates!
I miss my mother very much right now. Some things I saw online reminded me of her. I will not be able to call her for 24-48 hours, per my own imposed rule. When I tell her I miss her, calls are difficult. When I call her because I am having a rough time, calls are difficult. I cannot express emotion or calls become tearful over why I moved in the first place. It comes from a place of love and missing me too. I can handle the arguing. It’s the love that hurts.
So, I can’t call when I am emotional. I can’t engage in anything productive when I am emotional feels like, just by virtue of how I was raised. So I must always take a step back and moderate my level of emotion - as usual.
Everywhere but here. So - thank you for being that space I can do that.
#feelings posting#not sad right now just a lil wistful!#I think something is just wrong hormonally because I’m unable to have serious discussions without crying#not because I’m sad or anxious but just it’s unstoppable#I will be having a fine time and then serious things come up and tears spring unbidden#you can say ‘sorry I have an issue where this happens I do not need comfort and I am fine’#but instinctively people cannot help but treat you differently#I circumvent this by not having serious conversations with anyone!#or by joking about my 2/10 joke where you should never invest yourself in someone more than a 2 out of 10#this definitely does not affect my interpersonal relationships!#I used to give myself grief for talking personally on a platform that was never meant to be that#but things change and this blog has come to mean something different to me#also if we’re going to be honest here#doing that is what ultimately changed my life so#whaaat? Allowing yourself to be human helps you create bonds with others?#and gives you the opportunity to engage with community on a deeper level?#who knew

I see your point. A lot of people are currently experiencing the effects of climate change. But we are not at the extreme. It can get a lot worse, and it will if we don't prevent it from progressing further.
i see where you’re going with this anon! but simply because it can get worse does not mean it isn’t an extreme, and i think that schools through south and southeast asia having to close because of the heat is very much an extreme. when will it be considered an extreme? will it be considered an extreme when it’s americans dying of heatstroke and not just africans and asians and middle easterners and pacific islanders and latin americans? i agree with you that climate change needs to be stopped, but we need to stop framing it as “climate change needs to be stopped before it becomes a disaster” because it is already a disaster!! it is already killing people!!
#climate change#come ON it’s only been 20 notes. why am i already getting this in my inbox#“it could be worse” people are dying. it is killing people. it is extreme enough where people are dying.#the extreme is no longer a hypothetical doomsday. it is real and it is being experienced by people across the globe.#the doomsday extreme that you are imagining is getting closer every day. and when it arrives it’s not going to hit us living in america#first. it’s going to affect the global south even more. do you need it to reach the extreme for you to care about people in the global sout#ash gets an ask#kitten i’ll be honest. daddy doesn’t know how much more he can take

Hii! I have been recently getting more and more obsessed with your art and webcomic and was wondering if I could use your art as like a profile picture? (With credit!!) If not that's perfectly fine! :)
yeah you can use my art for whatever as long as you're not stealing it or selling it
I don't mind if people print my art out for themselves either. I do sell prints, but it doesn't bother me either way
In general I don't post anything that I haven't made my peace with all that comes with sharing my art publicly! So feel free to use it as you please pretty much.
Giving me credit for the things I've made is respectful and helps me in my career, and I would hope that most people intend to respect my work... And the people who don't respect my work were never going to whether I asked or not.
I make my work for other people to enjoy it, I want you to enjoy it!
#I sort of have a general thought process that like.#the main thing of my work is... my comics!#and thats my writing and my drawing and its these huge longform things#that to be quite honest. would be a ton of work to steal LMFAO#but theyre more intrinsically connected to me#knowing the name of the comics and the characters#looking for more. it's me. like it's always gonna come back to me...#But I also in general as a person... I sort of hate the concept of copyright#it plays at the idea of benefitting artists but the intent is to benefit corporations#and artists get screwed out of owning their OWN WORK for the benefit of said corporations...#The things that copyright are meant to protect are things that wouldnt matter if we werent living in CAPITALISM!!!#I wouldnt CARE if someone stole my stuff if I didnt have to worry about potential lost customers#so. I just try to lead my life and my art in ways that reflect my ideals#which is like... yeah go ahead. use it for whatever#I expect you to respect me and if you don't then I know it doesnt matter what I ask for. because it wasnt going to be respected anyways.#if you feel bad taking my stuff or printing it out yourself or whatever you can throw a couple bucks my way#helps me pay the bills lmao#but if you don't its fine. I'll be okay and it won't ruin me.#asks#anon#this isnot me saying yeah go ahead and steal my art LMAO#this is just like yeah as long as you arent saying or implying you made my work#or selling it when I am selling that same thing (stealing my money from me)#then. like. whatever#doesnt affect me negatively at all. I made my art for other people to enjoy it#I want you to enjoy it!

"It's so rare for R to be in her right mind for a spell. Should she really be wasting the precious little lucid time she has writing this?" "Don't worry. For a witch, this is the most important thing."
you mean to be telling me that it's an explicit point that rhinedottir is rarely in the proper state to do spells and write things like this. and of all the choices she had not to. she chooses to write it and places importance (read. it's established as the MOST IMPORTANT THING too.) in spending said-precious-time to write something with her friends commemorating andersdotter. hoyo i need youto stare me in the eyes and real the implications of rhinedottir expending what the other's are describing as her "precious little lucid time" to commemorate and make an ode to her dead friend HOYOPLEAS
#i need everyone who characterizes her as a pure evil being and whatever to shutup so bad rn.DO YOU READ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#that was mean. i dont mean that.#more so:#LOOK AT HOW SHE'S BEING BUILT AS COMPLEX#she's done horrible things but. so have so many other people?? and i never see THEM characterized as only their sins#albedos one line#'human beings are defined by their flaws'#(or something to that affect)#has NEVER been more true#youguys did you take a 6th grade english class. You can be honest#how are you gonna look at this woman whose been explicitly built with nuance#as a person both sinful and good. but defined almost explictly by said sins purely for the fact she's human and against what's 'good'#AND THEN GO AND SAY SHE'S ONLY EVIL????????????????#ARE WE PLAYING THE SAME GAME/?????????????????#look at the distinction between the hexenteaser and alice's impression. read the blossoming starlight description.#try reading albedo's character stories with the slightest hint of media comprehension#THE ENTIRE POINTOF HER CHARACTER IS. SIMPLIFIED AND SHOWED THROUGH ALBEDOS STUPID LINE ABOUT HUMANS#PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1#anyways ifyou want to see some of the msot accurate interpretations of her i've ever seen pls go read reverie or nutmeg's fics💜💜#ok im done with all of that. thanks for coming to my ted talk#crepe rants#rhine#rhinedottir#genshin leaks

Sam says “FUCK” and hits the ground when Jamie gets past him at training in episode 2 and Sam barely ever cusses… speaks to how much Jamie’s bullying was affecting him that he was so mad at himself.. he knew Jamie’s comment was coming (and he was right)
:((
#ted lasso#jamie tartt#sam obisanya#still think the only thing that makes me unhappy about Sam and Jamie is that they needed one more on screen convo in season 2#like a real good honest talk#Jamie does more than make it up to him as we see#and I love their friendship moments#but jeez Jamie did a number on Sam’s psyche at training#and Sam deserved Ted to look him in the eye and say Jamie’s coming back#because that really could’ve thrown everything off for Sam#idk if I should use affecting or effecting#so sorry 🤷♀️

Thoughts on Kendratello?
honestly originally i didnt have much thoughts on it other than "haha toxic yuri" but i think my ironic jokes about it like. looped back around. i dont think i'd ever write it but its so based and people should be nicer to it
#ask#i think at one point i saw a whole essay on why it would be toxic#like for one cartoon slapstick situations arent indicative of real abuse#and two people say they love enemies to lovers until real enemies to lovers comes at them ...#HONESTLY despite the murder attempts i'd even argue its more rivals-to-lovers??#look at the way they snark at each other!! there's a LITTLE affection in it. they have fun fucking with each other#also im gonna be honest i wont allow people to be shitty about kendra like that#she's a very flexible character that you can make misunderstood OR super evil#but if you're gonna treat her like she's too irredeemable to be shipped by her canon characterization alone#im ngl im just going to assume youre being misogynistic#like god forbid women do anything. also she's literally a teenage girl she's allowed to be shitty and selfish#you dont need a moral reason to not enjoy something
