Okay so. I started reading Iliad and I'm like only 20 pages in? (tho my copy is pretty small) but Odysseus already menaged to manipulate people, refer to himself as "Telemachus loving father", make somebody cry and cry himself and like- I absolutely get why you love this man. He's horrible man but like in wettest cattest way possible.

YOU GET IT!!!

I am so happy you're enjoying it!!! And yes!!! He's equal amounts of good and bad and it's just so lskdjfskldjf Full of love as much as he is full of hate

He is literally everything all at once and you just wanna study him under a microscope while also wanting to wrap him up in a blanket and give him warm soup.

He becomes an even sadder wet cat in the Odyssey, it's incredible.

Wait until you meet Penelope, Dear Anon. She's another nice/mean wet cat in a different but also very similar way.

So, my sister is 13 and she just told me today at school her ART TEACHER taught her class how to create a image using AI! Like, it is bullshit enough that people still use this stupid art stealing software but now you're telling me they are TEACHING KIDS how to do it??

And this is not even the teacher's fault, apparently schools are prompting the teachers to teach it?? Cause that's """tHe fUtuRe""" or some sh!t??

God I'm so mad right now!! AI art disgusts me!!

FFVIIRebirth Nibelhiem is such a funny fucking case study for ME in what happens when a more vaguely presented piece of media ive obsessed over the details of gets a more realized adaption. Like I wouldnt exactly compare it to a book to movie adaption of FFVII to Rebirth, cause there were visuals for that game, but the way those visuals framed the writing was a lot less detailed than this, and Its Driving Me Up The Wall. Im sitting here screaming at my friend because Cloud isnt smiling in the flashback, im a minute in to this lore setpiece and THATS whats making me lose my mind already/

Went out today and got food

I have a lot of fear baked in of people

(don't get near me)

A man says "excuse me" as he walks past

"there's plenty of room" I say in an annoyed tone..

I'm acting like a bitch but in my mind I'm thinking ("you'd better not fuck with me")

And I'm not even angry, cause what I'm feeling in the honest pit of my stomach is dread, fear of being unable to protect myself. Fear of being hurt.

"six feet" is baked into the hairs that stand from my flesh, my arms, goosebumped skin betrays my defiant attitude.

A part of living in a body means being afraid of your blood leaving it which creates a fear of flesh weaponized against you. The bodies of others become seen as threats. Other people might as well be knives.

A quiet bus ride later, I saw kuroneko-chan in the arms of some lost stranger.

Hahahahaha

guys we're making an assumption. it's an assumption based of things we've been told and things we've seen in other movies and shows.

welcome back to another episode of Mad Rambles

warning: spoilers for season 1 and 2, tbis, betrayal

[EDIT: this is all a theory and not anything concrete or proven in canon. my apologies for not specifying before]

what we, as a fandom, are assuming is that Leopold Fitz and Jemma Simmons of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. are in their adulthood at the start of the show. they're not. they are, at most, 18 years old at the end of season 1.

i don't believe that FitzSimmons where adults when they got assigned to the Bus

they graduated early from SHIELD academy at 16 to 17 years old by their own admission and what we know from the season 1 episode "Seeds". they met when they both started the Academy at 16, which is confirmed by Fitz himself in season 3 or 4, which mean that by the end of season 1, the oldest they could've been was 18.

which means that Leopold Fitz was 17 to 18 years old when his friend and older brother figure (Ward) dropped him and his best friend/crush into the ocean an event that left Fitz with lasting brain damage. Jemma Simmons was 17 to 18 when she jumped off a plane to save her friends and her team. Leopold Fitz was 17 to 18 when he was captured and held at knifepoint in order to ensure Coulson's compliance.

Leopold Fitz and Jemma Simmons where 17 to 18 when SHIELD combusted and they where betrayed and could only trust a select few people. 18 when their lives went up in flames and they could no longer contact their families. 18 and no long existing to the United States government.

thank you.

I 100% believe that Bumblebee deserves to have a beast mode or make him an insecticon.

Like his name is Bumblebee, I crave for him to have a literal Bee altmode. Like a fluffy bumblebee form to make his opponents think that he’s harmless but in reality he’s fucking terrifying. Also like he has poisonous stingers too.

Give me a feral Bee man who is super friendly to everyone and is still the happy-go-lucky scout of the autobots, but will rock your shit if you hurt his friends.

Like give me a young feral Bee who was found by the autobots. When they checking their energon rations only to find a young starving insecticon who is injured from living in the wild, eating the energon while growling and snarling at anyone who gets to close to him.

Optimus took one good look at this child and goes “Oh this child is scared, lost and hungry….oh well he’s my son now”

While the other Bots go “SIR NO!!”

Like give me sweet Dad!Optimus and his feral Bee son moments. Like Optimus is one the first Bots that treats Bumblebee like an individual not a monster or a pest. Give me moments of Bee slowly warming up to Optimus and the autobots. Like imagine the autobots teaching Bumblebee stuff like reading and other stuff. Wholesome as fuck

Also Ratchet definitely checks up on Bee for his health and gives him like a lil energon treats after the check ups.

Moments of him helping the autobots with his insecticon instincts of tracking and scouting. Thanks to his beast altmode he can even fly around to cover more ground. Moments of him trying to cheering up the other autobots by gifting them stuff that he found from scouting.

Like the possibilities of found family, Chaos and the amount cuteness that could be Beast former Bee.

I (personally) never saw people talk about this, but hobbies suck with adhd

Before I was diagnosed, I used to struggle with my hobbies. Hard. I had short, exhilarating bursts over a week where I’d go “this is it, I’m finally going to keep up at this” where I’d do my hobby nonstop and then it’d fall dead before the month was over

And this happened to me with almost everything (drawing, writing, cooking, ect.) where I felt like I could never get good at anything because I could never stick to anything. Whenever I felt like I was picking up something again, inevitably, I could be held at gunpoint and still not do the thing. Its like my brain went “no thanks, this is impossible now” and I could cry and kick and scream but nothing was going to change

I used to be really hard on myself for this. I still kinda am. It’s pretty difficult not to get frustrated at your inability to consistently pick up a pen

Yet, I haven’t written a short story for months and I picked it up again today and I love it! I could be frustrated at myself for not writing every week 6 hours a day, but I’ve long since learned that’s just not a life style I can stick to (sorry Brandon Sanderson)

Because between those few no-writing months, I’ve done other things. I’ve learned how to juggle, I’ve been reading a book about sociology, I’ve made steps in my anatomy, and sure I haven’t touched the book in a while and I haven’t drawn consistently in a bit, but I know I Will, just like how I returned to writing eventually

Maybe some people can grind out hobbies and skills, but that simply doesn’t work for my brain. You can’t make a dog walk on two legs. I can’t push my brain to do something that time and time again hasn’t worked. I might jump around from hobby to hobby a lot, but I’m slowly improving each time, and honestly, as long as I’m enjoying what I’m doing then does it matter how long it takes?

Pretty much, I can’t get insecure about my hobbies when I simply operate on a different level of people. Give yourself time and patience for anything you do, or else you’re just killing enjoyment with impossible expectations

It saddens me that Helen of SPARTA is mostly known as Helen of TROY. As if she wasn't born, raised, and most likely, died in Sparta. Yes, she was of TROY for a while...But she was able to go back home to where she WANTED TO BE.

(Edit: Hating on Menelaus is illegal)

Sometimes I think Wayne Family Adventures is just like fanfiction but Jason didn't adopt the kid he found so there's still some room on that front

[morefantasyandfunwhereicomefrom]

Something that really confuses me after Dittophobia is how many people are claiming this isn't a retcon.

I don't think it's any secret that I hate Dittophobia and the implication it has on the lore. In my personal interpretation of FNaF it is absolutely noncanon. But I have those feelings while acknowledging that it's 99.999% likely that it is canon. I can accept that, and I have no issues with people that like it. I just don't understand how this isn't at it's core a retcon. All the evidence for experiment theory (Dittophobia and the Private Room) released after FNaF 4, which was intended to be the last game. Scott decided to create SL after seeing the community response to 4, it's fact that experiment theory is a retcon.

(Also if anyone's wondering why I'm so upset over Dittophobia and not the Private Room it's because the Private Room is very vague. Dittophobia spells out that William was kidnapping kids prior the the events of FNaF 4, which makes no sense motivation or timeline wise. I suppose I'm the fool for expecting William to have a coherent motivation at this point, but still.)

Fun fact about essence

Each trio of essences has a specific title: The Life essences are The Trifecta of Blood and Root, the Death essences are The Trifecta of Rot and Despair, the Fate essences are The Trifecta of Inevitability and the Chaos essences are The Entropic Mind of Revelation.

warnings for: death, spoilers for series

hello, and welcome to another Mad Rambles.

today's topic: Escape the Night

EtN makes me mad sometimes. Not because it's about murder or my favorite characters die or something. It's because the characters are all content to be led like lambs to slaughter.

like, don't give me terrified lambs who can't handle themselves under pressure. I know these are YouTubers, they aren't trained fighters or aggressive people, but some of them have to have the fight response. don't give me rabbits who run from wolves, give me the wolves!

give me MatPat, utterly pissed that Joey was willing to trade nine peoples' lives for his own one life. give me Matt Haag, who fought with everyone until he gave up. give me Colleen, who blamed Joey for everything until her untimely death by force. give me Liza and Tyler, trying so hard to win for the both of them until they where cheated out of their victory. give me Brettman, who took no one's shit and celebrated his own victories. give me DeStorm, making no apologies for the way he chose to win.

I don't want little lambs content to die, I want fighters clawing their way to victory. if I'm to be hunted like an animal, I don't think I'd allow myself to be pulled down. you're playing with a new set of rules, ones that change with each challenge, should your key focus not be bickering and fighting, but survival?

give me people who survived and tore up their invitations. give me people who are furious with the person who invited them. give me people willing to do what it takes to win and survive. give me people who are the wolves, who'd just as soon turn the killers' weapons on them.

give me the Survivors being horrified and furious at Joey for the things they'd seen and been invited into.

just give me this...

thank you.

(Go watch it, it's super good and I highly recommend)

[ddosq]

Euthanise Billy?

No, Homie gonna pump his William with V so he can have a mate matching his level for life.

It's a thrilling never ending game that'll let Homie feel constant recognition confirmation of power and superiority for himself.

Butcher the only one seeing him as his own being, not a product, not a ladder to Vought, not a science failure.
