[Image description: The first image is a digital painting of Visual Calculus' skill portrait in Disco Elysium. Text reads:
"VISUAL CALCULUS - The cold sea breeze stings your face as you step on the boardwalk. The body is gone, but something still lingers in the air. And high above it, against the stars..."
End text. The portrait then fades into a dark night sky.
The second image continues from the first with the same night sky. Text reads:
"VISUAL CALCULUS - A luminous wheel of pleasure and all things bright, its wooden frame creaking in the wind. Twelve red cabins form a circle that stretches from the engines below to the flocks of seagulls up in the sky.
INLAND EMPIRE [Medium: Success] - The mirage looks both sad and glorious in the mist, like an insect trapped in glass."
End text. Green and blue lines from Visual Calculus' portrait twist around an orange, blue and purple projection of a ferris wheel. Behind it, the sun emerges in a bright burst of colour. Harry Du Bois looks up at it, amazed; Kim Kitsuragi looks at him in concern. Text reads:
"YOU - 'You don't see it?'
KIM KITSURAGI - 'See what?' The lieutenant looks around uncomfortably." End ID]

kiryuu sibling stasis post-32 is so interesting to me. nanami tries to leave and is (temporarily but also, crucially, violently) prevented from doing so by touga and akio. after this experience she puts distance between herself and them: she leaves touga’s phone in the car, she resigns from the student council (though she dons her old uniform still), she repeatedly dismisses and undermines the authority of the rose code, of end of the world, of akio, of touga. but she’s still in ohtori, isn’t she? uncomfortable with the idea of leaving, uncertain if it’s really possible. she tried before, and it hurt her. deeply. it’s so interesting to me, nanami’s agency and how she limits her exertion of it after 32, when she realises it for what it is. contrast that with touga, who accepts this weird stalemate between them, who is, really, uninterested in having any relationship of any kind with nanami if he can’t gain something from her. he’s very passive with her after 32, compared to the passivity he’d always feigned towards her before in order to stoke reactions from her and then exploit them. i was thinking about how touga has always been able to sever his relationship with nanami, but chosen not to; first out of a sense of obligation (‘we should live to help each other’) then a realisation of how that could be exploited. i was thinking about how nanami has never realised her ability to leave, in part because it is limited by touga and the harm he does her. i was thinking about the desperation and confusion akio calls out to anthy with as she leaves. i was thinking about how different that is to the kiryuus’ strange semi-breakdown; touga doesn’t want or need nanami, and nanami might love her brother but she cannot trust him or feel safe around him, doesn’t want to see him anymore; she’s itching to leave, and just a little scared (you know, because last time she tried that her brother assaulted her), and he’s not doing anything because ignoring her means he doesn’t have to deal with the emotions of her leaving or staying. something something gendered power dynamics something something tragic siblings

fruit ninja!!
[image id: it is a fully colored digital drawing of Cole, Zane, Kai and Jay from Ninjago. They are all drawn from the waist up. They are standing in a line looking right with Cole being at the very left followed by Zane, Kai and Jay at the right end. They are in a group hug, Cole is leaning his head on Zane’s shoulder and has his arms wrapped around both Zane and a little of Kai. Zane has his arms around Kai’s waist. Kai has one arm around Jay’s neck and the other one around his middle, and Jay has one arm curled towards himself and the other one grabbing Kai’s arm. They are all grinning and have their eyes scrunched shut./ end id]

I’m feeling quite sad about how much the active bts fandom on tumblr has shrunk and/ or how selective the community has become regarding content interaction. I’ve heard people pointing out a clique-building here lately, and while I’m well aware of closer mutual circles existing – and I can only speak on behalf of my friend group here – these pretty much develop naturally when there’s just no one else who reacts, reblogs from and talks to you anymore except for these handful of people. I don’t like that some people perceive these “cliques” as “exclusive”, for example to content creators only. that’s bullshit; it’s certainly not great to have only other cc’s support your work because they personally know how much time and effort it takes. also, knowing how lovely most of these people are, you’d get immediately followed back and showered with love too as soon as you’d even show a speckle of kindness on a regular basis, regardless of whether you make gifs yourself or not. ccs dedicating sets to each other isn’t a sign of exclusivity, but rather us holding onto and appreciating people who still give us at least some motivation to create and post in the first place anymore, because there’s quite literally no one else left by now.

Hi! I’m on Pinterest, too!
I mostly pin aesthetic photos for writing inspiration, but I also share some of my prompts and photography :)
Also, I posted a story for the first time in a millennia. You can read it here!

honestly with the way tumblr is going we the users need to set up like a weekend boycott to make it clear this shit is going to hurt the site and drive away the userbase, i've been here twelve fucking years but i don't want to put up with the shit tumblr is putting us through this year, it's fucking atrocious! why the fuck should we stay on a website that doesn't fucking respect us or seem to actually WANT to keep us around!
well, tumblr, if you don't want to keep us around, we don't need to fucking stay here!
boycott from friday 6/16 through monday 6/19 who's with me?

I’m trying to get back into reading webtoons, because my ability to consume media has hit an all time low, and so I’m rereading The Remarried Empress, and I have only one thing to add since rereading it
McKenna may not be the main character but he’s the main character of my heart <3
