Not in a depressive way but feel like genuinely sometimes you need to lock yourself away for periods of time from all human influence to truly focus. it can be incredibly hard but I’ve gotten so many answers lately…forgot where this quote is from but something along the lines of if you reduce all of the noise you can hear God

Imo Jason is “irredeemable” by default because I don’t see what he needs redemption from.
#I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but joining this fandom made me fucking hate the word ‘redemption’#no person I’ve seen who is in love with the concept knows the who what where when why or how it should work in a story#apparently it isn’t just themes and tropes anymore people don’t understand the proper use of the word ‘villain’#kelseethe#also hilarious: Jason should recieve sensitivity training HR style from Bruce ‘I’m the government and children are my cronies’ wayne#if Jasons headstrong/‘answers to no one’ attitude towards vigilantism is what makes people think he's villainous#I hate to be a broken record but the baddie you’re describing is Bruce#nobody thinks he’s a villain for only trusting in his own methods/self and repeatedly isolating himself#and on top of that gaslighting and hurting people around him in attempts to do what HE **thinks** is the right thing#you people always thought *him* heroic not problematic for all these traits#the only difference is Jason isn’t psychologically abusive & controlling#yet he’s still the bad guy just cause he liberally kills folks in the crime business.#l'd argue goth ham war is the b*tman story to remind you of everything that makes Bruce authentically himself#Idk how to tell you that Bruce mentally compromising/crippling his son in a twisted attempt to ‘save him from himself’#is perfectly in line with slitting the same son’s throat because he couldn’t stand to see him avenge his own killer#and yk what a redemption arc could be interesting for someone like Bruce#because he rarely questions or doubts his choices esp wrt Jason. no matter how morally dubious they may be#I think it would be quite fun to witness his extremely restricted worldview be challenged/shattered he deserves that humbling experience

btw todd’s reluctance to join the dps because he doesn’t want to read (which is then accommodated for) and is scared to put himself out there (which is also worked through) being read as todd not wanting to go AT ALL, and thus neil making the proper accommodations (“todd anderson, who prefers not to read, will keep the minutes of the meetings”) and encouraging him to step out of the box that stifles him being seen as ‘forceful’ or like he can’t take no for an answer makes me insane with rage
#and him trying to stop neil from asking if todd not reading at the meetings is okay isn’t him wanting not to go#its him not wanting neil to ask because (as someone with social anxiety) it’s EMBARRASSING ASF for someone to ask for things on your behalf#literally just think about it as the meme of ‘when i tell my friend im hungry and he tells his mom that *i* want food instead of both of us’#and the whole ‘neil not knowing how to take no for an answer’ thing…… dont get me fucking started#the kid who’s had to take no for an answer his whole life? the kid whose first proper scene IS him taking no for an answer? are you serious?#being encouraging and accommodating and (admittedly) a little pushy when he’s got his mind set on something—#—is NAWT the same as not being able to take no for an answer or bulldozing through conversations with people#he and todd DO listen to each other in those conversations theyre just on opposing sides—#—because their understandings of the world don’t fully align at that point in time/the movie#which is totally fucking normal?????? because later on they DO properly align?????????#i feel so crazy about this every time i see someone say todd didn’t want to go the dead poets meetings because it’s so obvious he DID#he was just scared#and you know what maybe it IS a little forceful#but given how dedicated todd is to shutting off and hating and isolating himself he NEEDS a little forceful to be broken through to#if no one ever pushed me to do things when i was scared (as irritated as it can make me) i’d never do SHIT dude#and obviously todd is the same way because he ALL BUT OUTRIGHT SAYS AS MUCH#‘i appreciate this concern but i’m not like you’ IS about neil’s voice and opinions mattering to people but it’s ALSO about—#—him being outgoing and trying new things and putting himself out there#WHICH TODD WANTS TO BE ABLE TO DO!!!!!!!!#the moral you take away from todds growth is NOT that he has to change to be accepted because he DOESNT#its that he has to gain the confidence and belief in himself to grow and become the version of himself he WANTS to be#he NEVER changes on a fundamental level to make others happy (although his growth does make others happy) he just opens up more#and i dont know WHY some people think his arc is becoming a completely different person#like yall PLEASE#this isnt even an anderperry thing this is an issue even if you read them completely platonic#i blame the FUCKASS novelization…. dps book you will always be hated by ME#dps#dead poets society#neil perry#todd anderson

point in michael's timeline that i don't touch on enough? right after he got scooped. not the time he was piloted by ennard ( though i've always wanted to try writing that too tbh ), but after he regains control, wakes up on the sidewalk, fully realizes he survived and sees himself for the first time. i've written him having dealt with it for decades and being used to it so often but not as much the HORROR of when he had to grow accustomed to it. before he developed his tactics for hiding his appearance and the lies that eventually become secondhand nature. when the wounds of losing the life he got so close to having, his autonomy, feeling used/betrayed, and not being sure how human he is anymore are all fresh

i wanted to say thank you for your nice comment on my tamala gifset.. i was legit scared i'd get nothing but negative comments since the majority of fans seem to hate her
oh no problem! your set was beautiful!!
and yeah i get what you mean. i mean,, i guess i kind of understand the hate but some of it seems so,, weird too? like hassian is my favorite character my special little blorbo even, and tamala leading him on and breaking his heart like that sucks no doubt!! but also like,,, i support women's rights and women's wrongs!!! she's hot!!!!!
ajkdhg but seriously even beyond her being really attractive, i think she's also really interesting and i'm hoping that the devs have more planned for her! her using magic is SO interesting and i can't believe some people are ignoring that just because of what happened between her and hassian! i mean don't get me wrong, people are allowed to dislike characters, it's all fiction it's whatever yknow? but i also kind of thought people got past that whole "if a character is evil or morally not the best, that means you can't like them or you're fucked up" like,,, what happened to liking hot lady villains 🤨

Can we get some Kledinger angst whehhehehehe, if you don't mind?
ok buckle up buckaroos I got a few ideas in my head
1) Kled's first Progress Day in Piltover, with Heimer bubbling with excitement to share all the festivities with his partner as they stroll through the crowded streets. (Skaarl is freaked out by the fireworks going off, so she's left at home with Porofessor.) While Heimer is enthusiastically rambling, Kled feels unusually tense as they make their way through the crowded streets and keeps a tight grip on the professor's hand. At some point Heimer leaves Kled in the heart of the festival to fetch something for them, promising to return shortly. Left there, Kled's senses start to go haywire with the bangs of the inventions, the clanking of metal, the sudden screams of joy, as it starts to feel like he's somewhere different. Heart rate rises, his ears and eyes swiveling, and the tension builds in his body... Until someone accidentally bumps him from behind and everything goes very south very quickly.
2) I'm not sure of all the specifics, but Kled is going into a battle where Heimer knows that Singed's work is going to be used (having visited the destroyed Wuju village and recognized the chemicals). He begs for Kled to not go, that the weapons are different from what the cavalier has dealt with before. But Kled is stubborn, and he believes he's lived through worse odds. So Heimer is left with the dilemma: should he stand back for his partner (and others) to suffer an awful excruciating fate, or should he get involved… breaking his vow of his work being used for war, and also potentially breaking Kled's trust in him?
3) Also had this idea of Mel interacting with Kled, and she absolutely hates him for how Noxian he is and therefore reminds her too much of her mom. Kled's got no idea why she hates him so much or that she's really Noxian, but he returns the vitriol in their encounters. Anyway, at some point Kled confronts Mel about… uh, honestly haven't figured out what, but Heimer's involved. He has his axe to her, ready to fight. But Mel keeps a cool head and uses her words, asking what this would accomplish and mentioning how Heimer has already been hurting in his reputation from trying to defend Kled in his screw ups. "All you Noxians can be bothered with is taking. So tell me: How much more do you plan to take from him before it's enough?"

fledgling verse byan having an inherent distrust toward other vampires because they know a lot of them will automatically think less of them not only for being a fledgling (and one abandoned by their sire at that), but for being thinblooded as well. —and even that's assuming that they aren't seen as better off dead because of the latter point. like, they got enough of that as a human, dude, they don't need it from self-important kindred too.
just!!! baby vamp byan feeling like they don't fit in anywhere in this way that somehow manages to be even more miserable than it was in life!!!! and feeling that much more like they can't trust anyone because of it!!!!!

Hello!!! I'm here to drag you back to those fanfics you wrote back in 2022 for a bit, specifically those three at the top about a DND ex-player challenger.
You think if that challenger forgot their life was at stake before Leshy could monologue about being sad they have to go, ect ect, and the challenger just assumed the game was going to be reset, you think Leshy would play along?
I got this ask like early in surgery recovery last month, read it once, and then promptly forgot about it oops sorry anon kfgjfdkjgd
To answer your question uuuuh... No.. But also yes?
For one; Reader never knew their life was on the line. They're a DnD player they assume the whole spooky atmosphere and Leshy playing up the Sacrifice thing is just immersion. They Stupid just like me fr fr and never really question much of anything around them.
For two, I don't think they were thinking that far ahead. They might not have even thought the game had an end, but if they did I doubt they'd think about it Resetting. They're more in the moment than that, at least that's how I wrote them. But that might not be how you, the Reader, might read them or want them to be, as a you in stand in.
Thus, I never wrote that fic series a boss battle ending because I wanted to leave that part to you, dear reader, really.
So what do you think? When you finally sit down to continue where you left off, to face that final boss Leshy had planned just for you, what happens next?
Do you win? Do you lose? Does it matter? Will he snap the shot or simply reset the board? Does it Matter? Are you even the same person? Does It Matter? You sit at the devil's table and are dealt a hand of cards. You've been here before. Other's have been here before. Their photos are on the wall. Your photo is on the wall. You don't recognize yourself
It doesn't matter.
You're playing a game you love, after all, with someone who loves you very much.

I love second hand book shops, I got to them frequently and always leave with Something and have a good time just peakin around
But i gotta say
It's one of the Worst spots for me in terms of imposter syndrome
I feel like everyone's uneasey with my presence as though i'm a stranger who just stumbled into their inner sanctum and they're.. they're gunna let me stay but they're gunna be weirded out the whole time and breath a sigh of relief when the Strange Unwelcome Freak Leaves
It also happens at record shops and sometimes at small antique shops or cons+festivals
Just this immediate foreboding of being Angrily Tolerated in a Space I Don't Belong
#monster noises#it's Incalculably stupid because 1) it's a store. anyone can go in there.#and 2) in all those locations... I do beling there!!!!!!!! not even in the sense of point 1 where it's a retail location but like!!!!#Book shops Record shops Antique malls Cons... are all like super 100% right up my alley nerd shit these Should be like '''''my people'''''''#which is i think a strong contributing factor to this pervasive feeling like#there's an underlying current of not just being in there to Shop but that i want the other people there to Like Me? I guess?#in our limited interaction?#i want them to see that i'm One Of Them and it makes me nervous#because whenever i am trying to be a Part of something i Immediately feel like some kind of isolated hollow fraud#like i'm worried that i not only Look like a poser#but that i Am#secretly#a Poser#so secretly that I don't even relaiE i'm a poser#it probably doesn't help that i also always have The most off-kilter interactions with the staff in these scenerios#it's never anything truly embarassing#but it's always like i try to be as nice as possible but their reaction is never what i expect#and it throws me off#it's a hard thing to pin down in words but like.. it feels like they are more than anything just Waiting for me to leave#if not from the get-go then from the moment i open my mouth to answer a question#and like idk !!! i'm trying so hard to be open and friendly and not just use canned response but also not be Too weird or too loud#and be engaged in conversation but it never works!#it's like i ooze some deeply unpleasant vibe and it turns everyone off me immediately when i enter their space#i'll see other customers having lovely conversations with staff and stuff and then when it's me it's like Cold#truly it does nothing for my self esteem#not everyone has yo or is going to like me but i really don't think it's too big an ask to not be scrutinized by store staff Constantly ;<;

Thinking abt my dupe ocs again... Maybe Quinn does have hashtag issues actually
#rat rambles#oni posting#oc posting#theyre very well known and liked amongst all the colonies as y'know. they helped found all of them.#and theyve always been very friendly and kind and they have always taken their responsibilities incredibly seriously#and when they get time to be on a planet they relish it as they have a great deal of appreciation for the beauty of these worlds#but one thing that has always been a thing for them is that they've never rly had like. friends amongst these colonies#partially because of them having to travel constantly but even when they get time to hang out more theyve sort of unconsciously trained#themself to be a bit emotionaly detached from those around them#it also doesnt help that theyre a digger and usually one of like 2 or 3 on any given planetoid#which earlier on meant thar they rarely encountered other dupes and late on left then with little to do as most of the ongoing work was#already being managed by others specifically trained for the role#so the isolation started to get to them and they started to get rly antsy and didn't know why or how to fix it#when the printing pod went offline they were one of the ones more calm abt the matter due to them being generally more used to the unknown#and this combined with their general good reputation lead to a lot of dupes looking to them for direction and answers alongside burt#this actually made quinn feel rly good for a while since it was their excuse to actually talk to ppl regularly and in more personal ways#theyd hear out ppls anxieties and ideas and newest passions and goals and theyd actually feel like theyre hearing the words said#they liked the feeling of everyone wanting to be around them and seeking them out even on other planetoids#they'd get phone calls and people taking breaks from their work to come say hi and it made them feel real#but as time went on and their fellow dupes became more and more self reliant they began to seek them out less and less#because why bother someone so important and busy when you dont need to right?#and this lead to quinn going wait no why did you all leave me again :(#it felt like before but worse because now they actually had started considering a lot of these guys friends#and they still had no idea how to reach out themself without a work reason and as such they sorta started dissolving again#and its during this time when they start missing the pod and start to get more upset that shes gone#they end up returning to the original partially to be closer to her and partially because it feels the most like home to them#there they start to slowly learn to reach out themself as they sort of sit in a corner watching burt work while shaking like a small dog#this at first is very unwanted by burt who is stressed as hell but they end up forcing him to stick to an actual shift instead of just#working until he passes out and this allows them to hang out while they force him to have downtime with them to keep him from exploding#it becomes a nice comfort time for them both as they rly havent hung out much since the first like 100 cycles or so

I’ve had covid for the last week and I’ve gotta go back to work tomorrow. At the start I joked that I would get so much drawing done, and all I’ve done is this Jasper doing an incorrectly drawn navy salute
Tumblr media
#baby’s first covid#the rest of these tags are just gonna be me venting#y’all would not believe how much of a fuck around it was to get my 5 days of isolation#I’ve said this a lot over the last 6 days but you’d think they wouldn’t want someone with covid cleaning an eating area. which is my job#and guess who covered half my shifts? the other worker who tested positive the same day I did#I have such an issue with my new supervisor and how my workplace is run. I’m 🤏 close to quitting (alas#the plan is to get top surgery and then dip)#but yeah. anyway. wish me luck and let’s hope I’m not still contagious (I always wear a mask and sanitise anyway)#if any of the customers or workers ask where I’ve been or why I’m working slow. I’ll be 100% honest and say I’m recovering from covid#‘’​yeah I may still be infectious I don’t know‘’#I tried to get Monday/tuesday off on Saturday and was ignored for 27 hours and the answer was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ill give you a call at 8#didn’t get the call so I called at 8:20 and was like ‘I’m not feeling great’ and the supervisor said she would cover my shift but didn’t#I never got told if I had Monday off. so I assumed I did. then today (Tuesday) got laughed at when I said if no one can cover I’ll go#so I got today off too. but I was asked if I could work Thursday which was the day after I tested positive.#I had Thursday off for my top surgery consultation. which had to get rescheduled. I didn’t even think I had covid 😭 I just wanted to be#responsible and test myself before an appointment. then I had a fever that afternoon. wild ride#anyways. I’m gonna try sleep.
