Here’s some funny unhinged interaction dialogue I came up with. Featuring my oc (Ashley) and @xxsweetoothxxs ‘s ocs (literally every other character) I would have drawn this, (probably will in the future) but I’m way too fucking tired and mentally drained to draw as of recently, so this was my compromise.

Ashley: *wakes up in toyland* Where the fuck am I?

Rolan: oh hello! :D

Ashley: Bitch….. Are you a fucking phone!?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ashley: *walking to her house and sees a lil toy Leslie on the ground*

Ashley: *picks Leslie up* Who the fuck left this dumbass doll in my yard?

Leslie: *spins head 360 degrees around and death glares her* BITCH. WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME!!??

Ashley: OH FUCK. ITS ALIVE!!??

Ashley: *yeets Leslie into a bush*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ashley: Why are you crying?

Ragz: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHY AM I CRYING!? MY BAKERY IS RUINED!!!! YOU SET IT ON FIRE!!!!

Ashley: oh yeah…..

Ashley: that is rather unfortunate…… *dabs*

Ragz: ;_;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ashley: What the fuck!? Were you about to fucking BITE ME bro!!??

Domi: No… I was just-

Ashley: You have to prepare someone for that….

Ashley: *bares teeth and gets into fightin position*

Ashley: Alright. I’m ready. Let’s do this!

i feel lost. scared. lonely

step out into the sun. into the endless pain. alone in an opaque void, or maybe i just can't see through it enough to notice i'm not alone. it burns. is rotting in the darkness worse? drowning in the sewer?

infinite mazes of light, nobody aroung. this isn't real. the real light burns, this doesn't. i see so clearly yet there still remains no-one. fields of empty space, knee height. marble floors with no temperature

mirages of others. of company

endless seconds ticking by. however many millions. running around searching for a way out, tiring myself endlessly, never collapsing

my flesh bleeds – oozes, almost – with sickly purples

(legs numb now. alternating between writing tags and main post segment whatever this is called)

dragging my forearms across the subtle rough texture of the tiling. they bleed. they fall apart so easily. so weak. so brittle. so rotten through

i need ..... . .......i don't know what i need

please, i need whatever that thing is

someone tell me what i need

someone tell me what to do. where to go. i'm so lost in here. i'm running out of battery. it's always ticking down, never reaches 0, i feel like it's a lie. shepherd's tone

my sanity's slowly falling deeper and deeper into the infinitesimal abyss, or maybe not and it just feels like that. i don't know anymore. i don't remember anymore. i don't remember what i am. my family's fading from me. i'll be alone soon. without them

my ideas are running out yet i must keep writing. this is my purpose in life for... however long it's taken now. 10 minutes? i didn't check when i started.

...... ..............

■■■■ ■■■■■■ shall claim me soon

Wanted to write a quick noirpunk blurb but now I'm 4 pages in and actually considering making it a full blown fic instead.

I don't think it would be that long but I've still got a couple of things to add so I feel like I might just make it a fic at this point.

~SENSE AND SAGACITY PRESENTS ~

HIS NAME IS MOTIVATION

Every piece of sensible knowledge he had about right and wrong was obscure, covertly coveted by ambition. 

Every thought that consumed him was a contradiction to itself. Overanalyzed and yet, at the same time consisted of nothing but baseless substance. 

He would akin himself to that of the universe if he could. Quiet and unsettling, but bursting with life… If only he could navigate his way there.

He knew feeling this way would hurt himself, but strangely he couldn’t stop thinking about how much he was hurting someone else. 

Most of the time, that “someone” was not even under the impression that a few stray bullets passed their way whenever he would turn his expectations away from them.

No one should have to convince him to make the hard decisions. Or to have the expectations that he does. But here he is yet again taking his muses' inspiration and using it as fuel for his delusions. 

And other times, he could see ever so clearly how shattered and full of holes his own mirror was in front of him. 

But hey, that’s the job.

See, his job is to grab himself by the scruff of his neck and pull himself close enough to that shattered mirror he calls perception. Taking incentive to find the clarity amongst the cracks. To take the clearest pieces and find value to them. 

Aware that even shards of glass have doubled edges.

In a different and mystical world, If he could, he’d become like the ocean; powerful enough to shape his pain into something colorful and inspiring.

Turning those shards of glass into something beautiful and purposeful. 

Then he’d rationalize himself no more than a sprinkle of a raindrop. 

Yes, he knows that he’s not being realistic. And yes he knows he's being contradicting. However, even he knows that somewhere deep down around the guilt and shame, is a wholesome and straightforward man.

He chooses to live as he is with stubborn determination. Shattered but still trying to find the value in being broken.

Letting the shards cast judgement against his soul, while he shines with unexpected brilliance.

the upcoming tiktok ban/forced US buyout is obviously bad for a myriad of reasons but it is undeniably very funny that the motive behind targeting tiktok specifically was an attempt to get The American Youth to be less sympathetic towards China and it turns out that the segment of The American Youth online enough to have been influenced by that kind of stuff just jumped ship to RedNote, where they've reportedly been realizing that Chinese people use the internet too and are really funny. i don't want to make any grandiose sweeping statements about how this is counteracting years of sinophobic US govt propaganda but this is the most pro-China i've seen the reddit-and-tiktok Overton window in, like, ever. so the "stop The American Youth from sympathizing with China" initiative has backfired before even passing and had the exact opposite intended effect. and there's still time for Musk to bumble in and make a ridiculous offer for a buyout and run tiktok into the ground after renaming it "Y"

I was wondering why this post was getting attention again after years

I love this bit of theirs with all my being

I’m semi happy w/ the designs here but I’m def gonna change a few things (not the bones I like me some bones). I like the phantom bits but I also want more ghosty glowy vibes because I need them to look like glow stick fluid

((Also don’t tag this as ship, I dunno if they’re okay with it + Shelby’s ace))

I think what bothers me most about how John is talked about in the fandom is the implication that a different (implied: better) person would've done things differently and somehow more right than he did.

When the text goes to lengths to explore how suddenly coming into an incredible amount of power in a fatally constrained situation cannot lead to a good outcome.

If you're putting John in dialogue with the concept of the "magical girl", which Muir has said he is (a little tongue in cheek, but)--these are young, often profoundly unready people, who often get taken advantage of by the people who give them their powers. And like, yes, John is not a teenager, but I think that's part of the point, is that at no point is a person really prepared to become as powerful as he did--even before he merged with Alecto. Even when he was fully in control of his powers, even when they were given with honest intent and trust, even when he used them with the best of intentions and tried to do the right thing, there was no way for him to be prepared, especially given the situation he was in.

And it's funny to talk about how bad John must be in bed, but also, this isn't a scenario where John is some self-deluding Elon Musk-like villain or loser. He is genuinely trying to do the right thing, in terms of rescuing the Earth's population, rescuing the Earth Herself, and doing it ethically (see: M--'s insistence that they perfect the cryo containers until they could transport pregnant women).

I really do think this is something people are blocking out, because it is one of the uncomfortable parts of Muir's message with the series. But ESPECIALLY because the people "critiquing" him as an embodiment of patriarchy and empire are failing to see that part of Muir's critique is of human vulnerability to power: That is, that power corrupts.

And this even has echoes with Gideon & Harrow's story! Harrow begins the series in a deeply unequal dynamic with Gideon! And she does horrible things, not just because she is traumatized, but because she is traumatized and has the power to act her desires out on Gideon. She might have the motive (trauma), but that's not enough without the means (power).

And, yeah, I do have a semi-salty angle on this because people are frequently loath to think critically not just about axes of oppression but individual relationships of power when it applies to them and to people they like. ESPECIALLY when there is a very vocal segment of the fandom that is enthusiastically pro-harassment. It's very convenient to villainize John and actively dis-identify with him, because otherwise, you'd have to face the question of whether you'd do any better in his place. But the thing is, the mission of revenge he embarks on is a lot closer to many peoples' hearts than they'd like to consider.

That's the whole point.
