It is just so, so depressing to still be waiting for a job. I'm so close to getting the one that would be beneficial to me, but the process has been taking SO long (I've been unemployed for almost three months). It feels silly to say, but without a job, it's as if my life has no meaning. I have no structure to my day, I live with my parents and am essentially freeloading off of them. The warm weather down here (my parents are in Texas) is probably the only thing that's saving my mental health at the moment. I have tried to put meaning into it by writing things, but it's so much harder to dredge up the motivation right now to do so. I want to cry just about every day, but my sister and my mom and my dad are all going through things and I need to help them, so I feel like I can't. Being an American, current events are stressing me out - I've connected with new people but they are not my friends that I've had for years, and I'm so beyond sad that I don't have a job that my insecurities about never having had a boyfriend don't even matter to me right now. Every day is just more of the same, and I just really hope I get an answer from the job I want because I don't know how much longer I can go on like this.
#this is really one of those 'I have no faith in the future' moments#it feels like everything is going to shit and I have NOTHING going well#I have so many things I want to write#but I really took for granted the fact that I've consumed media around my friends for the last four years#I just feel so alone in my interests is what I mean#due to the distance#I feel like I shouldn't even be interested in all this shit anymore#but it's quite honestly the only thing that keeps me going#personal#sorry to rant#but life is just really#getting to me#it's almost impossible to stay optimistic#if anyone has some fic recs you think I'd like#or advice#or anything#let me know#I have tried everything and I am just so. tired#I want my life to mean something again

Getting stuck into the intricacies of Edwin’s gender by designing some drag looks for him, obvi inspired by the magnificent Barbara Lasagna. (40s and 20s dress respectively!) I imagine that the two names would be Edwin’s idea and Charles’ more goofy suggestion; a play on the Paine/Payne homophone and, well. A 16 year olds sense of humour in the midst of having a crisis. I think Edith would perform with an instrument like the violin or piano!
#saint0psy art#dead boy detective agency#payneland#dead boy detective fanart#dbda#dbda fanart#edwin payne#Barbara lasagna#I referenced the 20s dress pretty heavily on a real archived dress bc I love him in green#I actually put a lot of effort into the accessories in this… shout out to my buddy Taffy for fashion research!#did u guys know men didn’t wear wristwatches bc they were too bracelety x#also did u guys know the flower associated with Edwin’s star sign (Capricorn) is pansy….. he’s reclaiming it all baby#obvi it’s red for his beau x#40s looks obvi had to have victory rolls but the look went thru revisions to differentiate her style from nursies sharper style#had a look at Peggy Carter my wife actually#I prefer Edwina for AFAB purposes but I figured for a drag person there’d be more of a distance#dead boy detective netflix#dead boy detectives#charles rowland#EDIT I cannot find an actual source for the dress I did admittedly just assume it was archieved due to the way it was photographed….#alas. i stand by it

Tigran: launching into a story about a time when he was 7 and watched a guy get eaten alive by dogs, completely unprompted and unnervingly blasé about the whole thing.
Etsushir: not listening, warming his hands over the nightly allotment of yams, smoking.
Palo: this is the tenth time he's heard this story, not listening, wondering whether Etsushir is smoking tobacco and where the hell he got it and can he have some?
#Lore:#Tigran has kind of a psychological fixation on people being eaten by dogs. Which is rooted in childhood trauma but it's hard#to tell because he loves dogs and always seems weirdly enthused by the whole concept.#More lore:#They're cooking on a dry dung fire which is very common in the region in general- largely grassland and savannah. Most of the#formerly wooded areas are deforested both on a long scale due to the drying climate and on a short scale of human use.#Wood is a valuable commodity and grown in agricultural regions and harvested with coppicing or otherwise imported by sea.#The northeast has an intact forest that hasn't been widely exploited due to distance from urban centers and impracticality of#transport over land and that's pretty much it.#The Highlands also retain woodlands within the interior but the formerly surrounding forests have been heavily exploited#(due to proximity to major rivers) and were fully wiped out within the past century.#The fact that cremation is the default and expected funerary practice and also used in most sacrificial offerings heavily#contributes (cattle and khait dung is allowable for these purposes due to the animals' sacred status but not considered preferable).#(associated with lower class funerals)#Anyway bottom line dry dung is going to be what the majority of people use for everyday fuel needs and also what pretty#much everyone on the pilgrimage is using (which the wealthier members are unaccommodated to but these guys are)#etsushir#tigran otto#palo apolynnon#the white calf

it's all just so rotten. it's just so rotten because people just... don't believe that I can be affected by this. because they believe with her I was already ready for this scenario anyway so it shouldn't be such a shock or such a pain, and because I've been through death and I know grief so well so for sure I just know how to handle this and should be expected to get over it stat. even people who are supportive I can fucking see it in their eyes "yeah, yeah, that sucks". sucks doesn't fucking cover it. she's dead you assholes. it doesn't just "suck" it's not just "tough" gods I will lose my mind
#death mention#they don't see her as a person they act like I'm grieving a stranger or a fucking dog#it drives me insane I don't want to make this about me but holy fucking shit#this isn't just a headache. this isn't losing a relationship with a colleague due to an argument#it's death. she's dead. I hate how people distance themselves from death so fucking hard it starts verging on some dystopian grotesque#comedy of absurd

guardian of the masquerade
#my art#lethal company#nutcracker#masked#the nutcracker entered this role only semi-willingly; the masked all swarmed it due to pack bonding reflex and never left it alone#the nutcracker recognizes them as a group of individuals to protect. the masked recognize it as part of the masquerade#after getting punted across a hall a few times the masked learn to keep their distance. sometimes they march in line behind it#sometimes they all decide it's time to rest and crowd it in place until it has no choice but to idle#you know how paint on statues wears away in parts where it's touched the most? that happens to this nutcracker#chips off on the arms and middle where they'll huddle around it

Quick question for the Touchstarved fandom!! As much as we love Ais calling us 'Sparrow,' I have to ask - if you had to decide, what other bird nickname do you think he would call you/your MC? :O
For example, Ais would my Unnamed MC Daniella 'bluebird,' while he'd call my Alchemist MC Edgar 'crow' (and another OC I'm planning, Shinju, 'woodpecker!')
#Ais calling Mhin 'that dove' has made something click in my brain and I had to ask this orz#Ngl it made me wonder- Does Ais base his bird nicknames off of appearance or personality?? Or both?? Or something else??#Doves mean peace and pacifism and uh *looks at Mhin* Peace and love to them but they don't exactly remind me of either of those- Mhin's hai#has the same color as doves though so that makes me think back to appearances.. But maybe peace is something that Mhin yearns for? Idk#Sparrows mean resilience; adaptability; joy; and freedom- I remember someone saying that freedom is something that Ais wants due to Ocudeus#But also that sparrows are one of the most common birds in the world- So to Ais (at least at first) you're just another face to him#and he tries to distance himself from you by calling you a common bird. I'm not sure where I'm going with this but it's probably something-#I personally like to think Ais's nicknames are a combination of personality+appearance but I could be very VERY wrong DKLSFJNS /lh#Tbh I doubt Ais is super focused on the deeper meaning of his nicknames (since he gave us our sparrow nickname upon his first impression)#But still!! This is just for fun- For my OCs let's start with Shinju - woodpeckers represent determination; communication; and opportunitie#Since he's a merchant these qualities are pretty fitting (still haven't come up w/ a solid design just yet but I'm trying to cook orz /lh)#As for Edgar crows mean death and the afterlife which KIND OF links to his scientific hypothesis?? (though Ais doesn't know about it)#But crows also mean intelligence; transformation; and wisdom which links to him being a scientist+alchemist.#Or Ais just calls him that because he has black hair LJSNDF /lh#As for Daniella bluebirds mean joy; hope; and renewal/growth which are pretty fitting for her#But Ais could just be calling her that since she wears a lot of blue lksjdlala- /lh (*cough* And also- *cough)#(I read that bluebirds are also supposed to be 'harbingers of happiness' which could be a cute little thing if Daniella goes down his route#touchstarved#touchstarved game#touchstarved ais#ais#touchstarved mc#touchstarved oc#Scream Posts For: Touchstarved#touchstarved daniella#daniella#touchstarved edgar#edgar#touchstarved shinju#shinju

I will die on the hill actually that Grace was a good sister, and it's Louis, not her, who killed that relationship.
#i mean i do actually think it was both of them#but i think it was more louis than her#this scene is SO loving#and i think it's there that she knows louis' gay and loves him#she wants to meet his partner#she's who told jonah where to find louis#i can see it there in her idk#louis' the one who distances himself from her#and yeah that's probably partially due to lestat#but i think a lot of it is just louis too#iwtv 1.01#sophie rewatches iwtv#i might need to put a pin in it there tonight folks#i can't believe i didn't even make it through one (1) episode lmao#i'm probably watching it too closely#i'll do the second half of the ep tomorrow though#anyway do people want me to do this for every ep?#is this too much hahaha?#i will verrrrry happily do it but y'know#haha

it's insanely ironic to me how it didn't even take that much time for griffith to feel some consequences of his own actions grabbing him by the shoulders after the eclipse. like, imagine sacrificing your "only one" just to discover later on that since you're sharing a vessel with his child, you'll be coming back to him AND casca every full moon—you'll get close to them over and over again as a reminder of what you did. griffith literally doomed himself with longing, man.
#the whole griffith taking casca away is so overemotional from his part because come to think of it#he waited until her mind wasn't regressed despite knowing damn well his emotions weren't completely in check at the hill of swords scene#he could've kidnapped her before but he didn't and the implications are there#she couldn't reciprocate guts' feelings in that state.#some may say that the reason behind griffith kidnapping casca is due to him going moon boy mode and seeking her wherever she is#travelling distances to stay by her side which makes sense of course... but is this the only motivation behind it all?#auughggh leave me alone griffith thoughts. please.

KIM NU RIM AS DOHOE
Let Free the Curse of Taekwondo (2024) | 1.01
Ready to get my heart crushed by another Hwang Da Seul production </3
#let free the curse of taekwondo#kim nu rim#kbl#korean bl#bl series#bl drama#asianlgbtqdrama#mambo.gifs#his character already crushes me#the theme of breaking out of your confinement#you can see him doing that with juyeong actively pursuing him despite saying anything to keep distance#i know hyeonho is going to have major influence in their dynamic due to his past with dohoe#but i wonder if he sees dohoe with juyeong and living vicariously through juyeong and his transparency and kindness towards dohoe#but due to them being from a small town with restrictive elders: he'd rather defy and let dohoe go than pursue something more#honestly: idk which scenario is more tragic in my eyes#acting like you hate the person you love most or knowing that your person got away and is clearly happy with another person#much to think about until next week!

With all of the comparisons of joels wild life skin to skizz pre ep1 and then the reveal of the fast and furious bit ive connected some dots that arent connected
Hear me out, joel is modeling himself after a man with a friends are family and family is everything mentality to hopefully make and maintain friendships (which makes me insane btw) and he just so happens to look like mr loyal himself skizzleman
Like we know the meta of dom toretto n stuff but in universe mayhaps there was a subconscious (or concious but hed never admit that) inspiration
#life series joel has such an interesting progression through the seasons#just him and his wolves in 3rd to mad red wizard no one trusts in last#to getting a taste of an alliance that sticks due to soulmates in double#to trying to recreate that having friends thing but it was cursed to fail and it inevitably drives him mad agin in limited#to starting out distanced from the group he wants to join but before he knows it theyre doing bonding exersises everyday in secret#he doesnt want to be alone and despite the madness and bloodlust is so so loyal frfr#joel smallishbeans#smallishbeans#wild life smp#skizzleman mention

I'm really into the idea of Kairi's moveset/fighting style partly being a mishmash of things she's learned/caught onto from the people around her.
Like, what we've seen in Re:Mind feels like a result of having to train/spar with Lea with the way she moves to close the distance between her and her enemy and fights quite aggressively + a high level of cunning and quick-reflexes.
(Being able to break through both of Xemnas's lasers, being able to defend Lea from Xion faster than he was reacting, how she manipulated her keyblade when fighting Old Nort in MelMem, etc.)
(Flower Shoot is a fire ability TvT oh the Kairi Lea friendship is so dear to me)
She's already really good with magic but imagine some of the ways she does it picks up some of Aqua's own habits as she casts spells.
Maybe she makes use of some of Sora and Riku's styles and incorporates it into her own.
Maybe her and the heart hotel come together and practice all kinds of Light magic, making different combos with each other and for themselves with their own flairs.
(Also going back to the original battle stance she was seen with before KH3 mayhaps?)
Kairi becoming a force of nature with her developed style that has bits and pieces of the people she loves within it v-v
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Making Kingdom Hearts Stuff Until KH4 Comes Out (Day 128)
#kingdom hearts#kh#kh kairi#kairi#making kingdom hearts stuff until kh4 comes out#kairi has sm potential and the series seems to want to do smth with her now more than ever#i beg of square plz utilize her more there's already sm setup TvT#also me on the kairi and lea friendship agenda again!!! them picking up habits from each other!!#kairi becoming an aggressive fighter in close range due to lea always trying to make distance#lea trying to become even more evasive but also practice short-ranged attacks and using the blade itself instead of relying on form change#yoroshiu rambles

Don't get too attached
#Brakul did a lot of the parenting for Erubi (the first of the Janeys-Brakul-Hibrides throuple bastard children) in infancy especially due#to Hibrides going through absolutely horrific post-partum depression (and not wanting to be a parent to begin with. Like she#had accepted it as an inevitability and a duty but when it actually happened it was just like Oh God. I am in hell)#Brakul is the only one of the three that actually Wants to be a parent and the fact that he can't behave as such in order to avoid#suspicion that he's the father is kind of a living nightmare for him a little.#Not like he isn't involved in his ''''nieces''' lives given he lives in the same household but he has to keep a bit of distance.#Janeys and especially Hibrides are pretty unsympathetic about this. For Hibrides it's like she has had to go through so much shit#to maintain this situation she never asked to be a part of and when he has to go through a fraction of that he breaks the fuck down.#He only wants the benefits of the whole situation and isn't willing to deal with the consequences.#This is also one of the very few things she's sympathetic with Janeys about like she respects that he's at least willing to play#his part and be miserable without bitching to her about it. Like she fucking hates him but respects the commitment to the bit.#Janeys is more just like 'Just go make more kids if you want your own so damn bad. Get a wife or something. That's what I#had to do and look at me I'm doing great I'm so normal'#The two kids aren't present on the pilgrimage (back home under the care of a hired tutor) but the Janeys-Brakul-Hibrides#Feeling Triangle are in a fucking tailspin over her being pregnant again like goddddd not this shit again#brakul red dog

well okay.
#it’s rarely talked ab since jackie was overall an incredible mother but.#john himself said that before she married onassis … there was this emotional distance . a block her children couldn’t get through due to#the trauma of losing jack and then bobby#so it’s like… here jack and john are about the same age here and they both kind of had to find an independent sort of footing themselves#like i think there are parallels there between both of them as really young children that aren’t typically recognized#since jackie was more of an involved and affectionate mother than rose but i do think that there was a sense of loneliness there#in jack and john’s childhoods respectively#and i think a lot of suppressed anger and confusion that john had which jack had as well#anyway… just some thoughts . 💭 i used to talk ab the overarching family before instead of a few select figures#so this was a little bit of that lol!#like john jr is so much his father’s son and we gotta talk about it more! he wasn’t just this idk.. Hunk. although he was!#but the former just comes though so much in these pictures#kennedy for your thoughts#jfk jr.#john jr.#jfk#john kennedy jr#jack kennedy#john f kennedy#john fitzgerald kennedy#kennedy#kennedy family#kennedyposting#jfkposting
