I stretch and strain with all my might Drift off into the velvety arms of the night Kick and claw and scratch and bite... Choked out, choked out, choked out!

[a sharpe, requested by @rubeau]

#em draws stuff #em is posting about sharpe #sharpe #richard sharpe #the wikipedia page for tipu's tiger already has a Whole Section for derivative works but HERE IS ONE MORE.#he's not getting out of this one alive. Not This Time.#look. I think that sharpe should get to be a big scary clawed toothed creature and also that he should be Killed by such a creature #and those opinions can be held at precisely the same time. an artist may contain multitudes.#and the present moment I am angry about a variety of things and I am permitted to make essay style art that is also sharpe art. what of it.#caption lyrics from 'choked out' by the mountain goats which is one of my personal sharpe songs of all time #but for ideal viewing experiences you should listen to about four episodes of the silt verses whilst drawing all those stripes...

wben i finally get more than 0.2 microns of energy and make one of the multiple video essays i desperately want to make so i can yap out loud as god (never) intended

#in the meantime im delighted by everyone who is sending me asks about my opinions #youguys have figured out that asking me a simple question about a yaoi will unlock like a four part thesis defence #thank you for doing this . and providing enrichment. for me #rookposting #i have like three..... four............ things i want to make video essay about i feel like i cant call them video essays though.#video opinion pieces. video i talk for a whiles #god i miss stand-up so much. when i finally have one too many mental breaks and quit law and go back to being a stage clown instead of an #office work clown. and tumblr normal person #also you guys should listen to asa's podcast about books. they're doing this very thing and it's great #i was on the pilot episode and my audio is bad because we were testing tech but not enough #it's called read another book! there are two episodes right now #buzzsprout.com/2387427 #sorry for putting a url in the tags i know that's useless #but you should listen to it #and give them suggestions for what to talk about #so that they can make me listen to more books that are bad so i can complain about how lawlight did it better which i did. in the pilot #and also others of their friends who will not talk about lawlight in a book podcast. or akeshu which i also did

im so mad that this is a side blog account and not a main account. i started this blog when i was still relatively new to tumblr and i think i was… like. fourteen years old or something. i never thought i would continue for this long, and i never knew so many people would like the content i put out here (i have over 9k followers which is literally mind-blowing, like wow….).

because this isnt a main account, i cant respond to replies left on my posts, i cant really reply to anyone unless i reblog !! i cant even follow people with this blog, it just comes up as my main blog (which is not pjo-related… rip my failed attempts at organising my fandoms to different blogs). so my avenues of interaction with a lot of you are seriously impeded.

so i just want to say i am so thankful for all of you, i read every single person’s tags who reblog my stuff, i read all of your replies and every time im crying screaming rolling around on the ground in agony over the fact i CANT REPLY!!

i know my posts are super inconsistent these days, im glad so many are still here! i think i may change some of my content eventually (never gonna get rid of the incorrect quote stuff, i’ll just be adding some other things like pjo headcanons or analyses or something), just to spice some stuff up on here.

#also! im currently writing a fantasy book rn and have been so stressed over the fact that authors are expected to have a following before—#—reaching out to agencies with a manuscript. and i seriously stress about creating a following.#so my backup plan is literally you guys. my four year old pjo account on tumblr with its silly little quotes 😭😭#and like. if that works. could you imagine. that you guys may actually save my future ??? like?? i love you guys for just following me bc ??#YOU MAY SAVE ME FROM THE CAPITALIST PRESSURES OF SENSATIONALISING ONES OWN ART FOR INVESTED SUCCESS YAYYYYYY #anyways im not going to promote it now bc its still in the first draft area. not near for me to even go thru revisions yet. i may never-#-promote it on here. i dont want to annoy people with suddenly changing tracks. and i def wont transform this blog into a self promo for me-#-thats never going to happen! i would make another blog for it but for now everything’s just an idea!#i just wanted to say thank you because this has been giving me so much anxiety especially since graduating high school. the problems of—#—trying to be an author have become more pressing and immediate for me. i hope it will happen one day but who knows #you guys give me confidence though. and i literally cannot thank u guys enough (I HATEEEEE THE CAREER ANXIETY)#not riordanverse #not incorrect either #for followers #rewriting #sorry for the whole essay in the tags ☠️

Fun fact: if you make a compilation of all Adam scenes - trailers, shorts, and mentions included - it would be 45 minutes long

#rwde #i roughly slapped together a chronological order of the wf/adam video and it was 3 hours #iirc volumes 1-6 including trailers and shorts is abt 20 hours #so the personal arc of one of four titular heroes gets a whopping 15% of screentime and her personal antagonist less than 4%#its so funny how many people will launch a crusade against a character who gets only FOUR PERCENT of the shows runtime while he's alive #and exactly zero of his scenes are actually abt him. we never get to truly meet Adam like we do w Killmonger or Magneto #both of those guys had the first scene of their movies dedicated to their backstory!!! it sets the tone of the whole damn thing!!#but adam doesn't even get exposition. most of his stuff is either shrieked out in song or implied by behavior and scar #this is smth thats in my essay but i cant help but keep gnawing on it like a rabid dog #besides what is the rwde tag if not a testing ground for my arguments

juist submitted my last final project for the semester

#trousled dumb #its only now hitting me that this image is probably more widely used for expressions of anguish and despair #idc tho. to me this is an image of rabid freedom. like sometimes you just gotta rip that shit off and yell really loud and its good #anyway . can somebody tell me who decided final projects are Less Stressful than normal ass exams so that i can kill them with hammers #if i have to write one more essay its all over i will drop out im so . look fellas i wrote 7 essays this semester and i missed four #thats more than my roommate had assigned as a fucking creative writing major. i never want to see words again #just give me a fucking bubble sheet man im begging you i dont want to write 20000 more words about whastever the hell #sigh. im glad to be done with this semester can you tell #anyway im gonna rest a bit still andd hopefully get back to ebonyposting soon 😌 since i have TIME NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!

Mmmmmya know what?

Fuck it

Square Gremlin Cube Goblin movie is turning 10 years old this year and I wanna do something special because if I don't write my hour long video essay on why this film is surprisingly tightly written and depicts the stages of scapegoating and genocide so cohesively then no one else is gonna make a video like that and no one will learn to comprehend how much I fucking love the fucking cardboard minion Tarzan cheese genocide film Good God Spode in the Stars what have they done to me

#It's important to me #READ ME #although I do kind of want to first get out my video essay on the first four laika films and how their scenes-#-depicting a performance can be interpreted as a metaphor for the entire plot and moral #i wanna make that first BUT I might not be able to BUT that's ok I think #get me outta my creative funk via film analysis no one asked for #*screaming into the void #I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!#it's MY autism and I get to choose the SPECIAL INTEREST #the Boxtrolls #crowfish crap #posts about Boxtrolls #gifts I need to conceive #<- a nicer way of saying “shit i need to put together”#because that's what it is #a gift from me to you: my scrambled stream of consciousness #blathering #ok GOODNIGHT

Another unforeseen frustration in my quest to find a romance novel I actually like: a huge chunk of college romances are written by people who have clearly never been to college.

#i can’t take this shit seriously #colleges don’t have clicks #no one cares of you are a virgin #no one cares how you dress #i took every single exam in pajamas #the real weirdos skateboard down the quad with a canoe oar #posers who think they are weird for liking books don’t get invited places #i’ve gotten more pressure to drink at a single one of my mom’s book club meetings #that my entire four years of college #when are you doing class work?#have you ever had to write even an undergraduate essay?#Do you know how long those take?#why are classes just called ‘english’#and not something like ‘Literature of the Great Depression’#Why is the professor asking the class if they predicted the two leads falling in love?#and not i don’t know any actual analysis!?#and why doesn’t anyone talk about their classes outside of them?#me and my friends loved discussing our lessons #both those from my department and from other majors #no talking out a project you’re having trouble with?#no struggling with the transition from high school essay writing to college level?#No stories about your favorite professors?#no gaining perspectives from a different major?#clubs? hangouts? soccer on the tennis courts at 3am?#i thought i would like these because i loved college and miss it #but these are all just high school without a bell #plus they’re mostly just bad in other ways too #i think I’m done with this genre #booklr

honestly disappointed that tcw didn't regularly pull a ds9 and plot an episode with wildly unbalanced A plot/B plots. A plot: the horrors of war feat. rex's third mental breakdown of the week; B plot: anakin gets the flu but is utterly convinced he's fine.

#idk this is just my episode pitch #o'brien is a hot streak at the dart board!#quinn txt #the clone wars #realistically i know it's for tonal reasons + the episodes are too short to allow proper A/B plots #which is why several arcs stretch out into three or four episodes (which is almost ALWAYS boring)#but the secret tcw that lives in my head is so good #my actual serious critique of tcw is a whole essay that honestly no one wants to read (and i don't want to write)#but this makes a better post

peter’s name really is extremely fitting to both his character, and his character’s role.

#I love it when character names reflect their role in a story #love him; hate him; be indifferent towards him; you can’t deny that Peter is the foundation the show hinges on.#the “bedrock” you might even say :>#he’s walter’s emotional and mental anchor (you see in the beginning of season 4 how unable walter is to function anywhere out in public)#without peter to tether him to reality; he is much less mentally sound and more emotionally volatile #I would say he becomes olivia’s too; something you can really start to see in the back half of season one #and continuing on through the successive seasons #my sister likes to joke that he’s her emotional support peter; or secondary ESP if you will XD.#and I know this all kinda gets flipped on its head in season five #peter and olivia kind of have a role reversal #and it’s really interesting #because peter is just really steady and reliable at his core. but he’s also a lot like his father especially when it comes to family #something I think he denies and then really starts to realize about halfway through season four #also maybe I’ll expand on this later but I really think you can see almost the exact point when he wholeheartedly #forgives walter for what he did #sorry for the essay in the tags #fringe

this is a general curiosity thing, because of a slight pattern ive noticed (of course i could also be making something out of nothing who knows)

im curious if there’s any other transmascs named icarus. cause i’m transmasc and i go by both connor and icarus, and other than myself i’ve also seen three other transmasc icarus’s, which, you know, isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened THREE OTHER TIMES (so technically four in total if you count me).

is this just a random coincidence? do other transmascs have an inexplicable connection to the name icarus???

#once is a coincidence #two times is a fluke #three times is a bit odd #but FOUR TIMES??? (again including myself)#THATS JUST FUCKING WEIRD #i got the connection to the name icarus because i wrote a like poem/rambling essay thing #and then towards the end it just suddenly shifted to be about icarus??? i dont even know why i was just in one of those Moods #and then eventually i adopted it as my name alongside connor #which ironically enough??? one of the icarus’s i saw ALSO went by connor and had the same inspo for the name connor which was just. wild #BUT ANYWAY #if there are any transmasc icarus’s out there #you should say hello!#we could like start a club or something i dont know #(this is all very /lh not meant to be stereotyping in any way just to clarify)#trans #transmasc #transmascs #transmasculine #trans boy #trans guy #trans men #ftm #trans man #nonbinary trans man

"Buck doesn't react to the ghosts because he has been able to see ghosts all his life and it's given him this fucked up relationship with death where he's both fascinated and desensitized to it" vs "Buck doesn't react to the ghosts because he spends most of the movie incredibly sleep deprived, constantly hallucinating and high off his ass on a transdimensional drug, so the ghosts are honestly only the 3rd weirdest thing thats happened to him that night"

#my desire for really interesting character exploration that's implied in the film #vs the comedic potential of him just going “this might as well happen LA is already so god damn weird”#cause like. he uses death as a metaphor A LOT in his songs esp Louisa. and he almost indifferent to the idea of dying himself #or killing for that matter. he just....doesnt really care all that much #and a lot of that I imagine would stem from the fact he'd be surrounded by it constantly and growing used to the concept #one day im gonna write that essay and/or fic about Buck and his fucked up relationship with death. one day #I have like four different posts about it in my drafts but it never comes out right #hes such a weird character I need to study him under a microscope #dani speaks #lord huron #vide noir #vide noir movie #lord huron vide noir #buck vernon

what kind of exam puts the big essay question in the middle??? what kind of hell world am I living in

#quil’s unholy underworld #found this in my drafts from earlier today #took a very shitty exam this was only one problem with it #it was 13 questions. 1 essay question #and it was question 5 out of 13???#and we weren't allowed to go back once we'd answered a question #i already complained to my mom about it but maybe i'll do so here again #the questions weren't. weren't even about the content of what we've been reading the past 5 weeks??#it was about a bunch of fucking tiny details #like 'which of these four authors was part of the english depart at this school?'#which like. yes we did mention that. but ONCE. and yes knowing author's backgrounds and accomplishments #especially from marginalized communities is also good #but thats??? not at all what we've been mainly focusing on???#we've been focusing on and analyzing their WRITING #for 95% of class every single class #WHY are we not drawing from that on the exam #I don't fucking know that one singular detail mentioned once in the documentary we watched once and can't access on our own!!#i didn't know I needed to memorize the smallest shit!!#the teacher is nice and the class is enjoyable but my professional (i've been a student for years) opinion is that that's not a good #exam structure

being on tumblr more and seeing literally no discourse has made me realize

1. how much I need to do a serious purge of my twitter timeline

2. how fucking irritating my twitter tl is

#sorry for the negativity ill probably delete this later #i am an adult i dont want to see discourse over fucking fiction anymore #i just feel kind of bad for the people that constantly engage with it now #txt #if im gonna see people get mad about stuff on the tl id rather it be about real shit #not a 10000 word essay on why everyone that doesnt enjoy things the same way you do is wrong and why every video game is awful and terrible #negative #like one of my mutuals deactivated recently and it made my tl so much more peaceful but two of my mutuals still just constantly engage in #discourse over completely inane shit. it drives me insane.#the one that deactivated always had just the worst opinion of every other video game and like four of our shared mutuals treated their word #like gospel and would also proceed to shit on that game relentlessly #happened with bg3. then that mutual found wotr and decided it was the best game ever made so our shared mutuals also agreed it was the best #game ever made and have been posting about it nonstop for months #and every time they post about it they have to compare it to bg3 for some reason? and talk about why bg3 is so bad and everyone that likes #it is an idiot for liking it #like omfg guys . you can enjoy something without comparing it to other things. It feels like you just enjoy things out of spite.

disco elysium fanfiction seeking complication 1 that i should have anticipated: drugs

disco elysium fanfiction seeking complication 2 that i should have anticipated: of cooooouuuuuuuurse people are going to get kim wrong. fuckin' A. people can't be fucking trusted with characters whose behavior doesn't always match their immediate vibe

kim kitsuragi is a man who will give you shit. his primary joy in life is giving you shit. almost everything he says to you that isnt directly related to the case is to give you shit

the lord saw fit to give lieutenant kim kitsuragi a mouth and he uses it for 2 purposes only: helping people and giving you, specifically, shit. and maybe bitching, as a treat

#sage speaks #god i always have such fucking Opinions about characterization #one day im gonna make that caleb widogast post #my epic-length essay about how people get his voice wrong and how that perfectly encapsulates how they get his character wrong #me coming out of my well years late with starbucks to shame fandomkind #though you know what? fandom does surprisingly well with nicholas waters. four for you a81 fandom #sage original post

Most of my experience with guidance counselors growing up consisted of playing dodgeball with an autism/ADHD diagnosis (they wanted that for me; my mom did not). Although at certain points in fourth and fifth grade I felt like Mrs. C. was hinting at my possible sociopathy.

#once she called me into her office for writing a confusing essay about a family vacation #not one that contained any disturbing material if I recall correctly #it was just rambling and there were too many relatives involved #and she kept being like Emily this doesn’t make SENSE #and I was like wow! everyone’s a critic #she did not provide any helpful writing advice #and also wasn’t really helpful re: my Schrödinger’s neurodivergence #I will point out additionally that I wrote some bangers in that class #such as the story of how I was unfairly persecuted for a fight that Aaron N. started #I got a four on that! a four!#it’s like how everyone was on Jordan Peele’s ass about us (2019)
