call with my aunt went half an hour overtime, and I didn't write anything today, but I did finish Soulstar!

#small victories!#alas i must sleep now so i can fight both my car and the roads all the way to work in the morning #tomorrow is the end of the week tho so hopefully i can stay up late and write lots #or just watch lots of kpop videos #didn't even get my daily episode of twin peaks today bc it was nearly 6 when i got home OTL #but. listen. it beats standing in the freezing cold waiting 20 mins overtime for the bus.#and then standing in the freezing cold and/or getting kicked out of one of the buildings along the train station by security #while waiting an extra 20 mins for the train #you can't win in the winter :/ but at least car warm

The thing I keep coming back to, with all the *gestures expansively* is that real life doesn't have peaceful epilogues.

Every single win has to be defended. Forever. I'm sorry. It sucks. The Nazis lost until they stopped losing. The US had abortion rights, and then 50 years later it didn't. Empires fall, and then they invade other countries again. Oppressive regimes are overthrown and replaced with other oppressive regimes. You will never finish the work etc etc etc. Which is why it's so fucking important to be able to acknowledge and celebrate progress, when it happens. The people who came before you didn't put in all that work for nothing, and you aren't, either. You can't save it all for the Ultimate Victory because there is never going to be an Ultimate Victory. There's no such thing as a time when everything is good, and ours shall not be the commune of Heaven.

#rambling #like by all means always push for more #but man you gotta be able to note the small victories too #and you have to be able to step away for a bit when you need to because there's never going to be an Ultimate End #op

You’ve heard of “justice league doesn’t know Batman has kids”

Now prepare for “the Team doesn’t know Batman is Robins dad”

#yes there is a fic #batfam #batman #batfamily #robin #dick grayson #bruce wayne #justice league #young justice #kinda #not super hard sell on it being the Team #there’s a lot of overlap #the fic is being written as we speak #my laptop is in my lap right now #it’s already longer than both the focus incident and small victories #no surprise there though #I actually have a plot with this one

brainmeats: "Everything is kind of a bit of a lot, and we're feeling wrung out. Seeing as there's a stream tonight we don't want to feel like shite for, we should take a nap."

me: "Sure. There were a few thing's i'd wanted to get done, but i am feeling pretty squiggly. A nap might really help."

brainmeats: <proceed to serve up the worst, most photorealistic, lucid dream ever. Including, but not limiting itself to, time loops (unrecognized until the third loop), forcible restraint, unreal spaces, unreality, deeply wrong body, socially imposed time constraints, social anxiety, and a disembodied arm that kept coming from off-screen (so to speak) to strangle me>

me: huh, well. Looks like we're never sleeping again. Good job team

#just a tired little trans lass #hey! at least i wasn't cutting myself in this one!#small victories!

comic about v2 and the goal they'll never fully reach alongside a dissatisfying conclusion. intimate rivalry and all (alternative ending comic. V1 dies instead of V2 during 4-4. V2 is narrating. V1 is dead.)

#high of victory drops to an overwhelming crushing feeling of what comes next now that youre done #if it wasnt clear v2 is trying very hard to put v1 back together after it kills them. very very poorly. weight of your actions hits #v2 #v1 #ultrakill #v4v #heavy implied at the very least. see as you will #i realize now that the writing is very disconnected and so are the drawings but bear with me here. do you see my vision #theres something going on between these two that is beautiful but also extremely codependent #at least on v2s end #tried to do those two descriptive pages in a way where it went like. 2 - 3 small details about v1. and then something very specific. some-#-thing theyd only know if they paid close attention to how the other acted or looked #took me a few days to put together and im pretty happy with it i think #feel free to dub or do whatever as long as you gimme credit where credits due #there are many ways to interpret v2 and this is one of them #gen art

It is driving me…cuckoo bananas that Daniel uses his job as a socially acceptable way to chase the high he used to get from drugs and Armand not only is fully aware of this, but he himself then PROVIDES that very high when Daniel beats him and exposes his lies to Louis.

#i think i need to be put down #interview with the vampire #armandaniel #devil’s minion #daniel molloy #armand #daniel’s addiction is such a cornerstone of DM and his relationship with Armand- this being a way it manifests is utterly brilliant #and like sure Daniel’s taken down many powerful people but what can compare to the high of beating a 500 year old vampire?#no other high will be enough…and we haven’t even seen him drink Armand’s blood yet!#and like!!! Daniel’s never gonna want anything less than all of armand in his monstrous glory #because like hell will he accept armand making himself small and palatable- better the unfair fight than a hollow victory #true monster soulmatism #freak matching on levels never before thought possible #gonna need these two surgically removed from my brain at this point

Danganronpa billboards I spotted in Akihabara today!!

#danganronpa #You do not know the SOUND I made when I spotted the first one #It's been a small fantasy of mine since I got here to see a DR poster like this in a station #ISNT IT SO COOL???#I know its just for a collab with some mobile game but it makes me so happy #to know that people still like DR enough that this is a worthwhile investment #And that I just get to see it!#(only thing that would've made it better would have been the v3s. But we take our victories)#shut up me #no id

oh ok so its the usual no-homo bullshit you always hear, good to know.

#wwdits #what we do in the shadows #guillermo de la cruz #nandor the relentless #nandermo #look im a reasonable guy #i dont get worked up easily and ive been around writers rooms and understand the pressures of writing a big show like wwdits #hell i even liked season 4 #but this has got to be one of the most offensive bs ive read that wasnt from 2015 #‘its only a small (but vocal) amount of people that actually want to see them together’#‘their love isnt ~s*xual~ they dont need to kiss its more ~profound~ than that’#‘you don’t REALLY want to see them together! (thats gross!)’#also ‘the power dynamic is ~problematic~’??? are you kidding me???#jfc its like someone literally got this out of the queerbating handbook from 2010 #and like yeah i know wwdits isnt queerbating but its queerness feels more performative when it treats an actual central relationship #like its a gross kinkything only a few freaks on the internet want #instead of a legitimate plausible story that deserves exploration #nandermo should be a triumph - a victory for the characters and something the writers should be pleased with writing #not…this.#like it’s some problem pressured reluctantly upon them that needs to be carefully defused #this has left a bad taste in my mouth

Hear me out. Ratiorine AU where Aventurine is a mer captured by a group of researchers and Ratio is the scientist brought on board to teach him how to speak and access his intelligence levels.

#aventurine #hsr aventurine #dr ratio #hsr dr ratio #hsr #honkai star rail #star rail #ratiorine #raturine #aventio #mermaid au #mer!aventurine #see ok listen #aventurine is a very smart fish and while he cant speak Human #he can communicate by impressing the idea of something on someone #which is why his speech bubbles are all abstract things bc he communicates by sending the idea of what he wants to say to ppls brains #and hes clever hes our cunning merchant gambler #so while he was initially captured by some researchers to be studied #hes able to charm them up and get them on his side... thus allowing him to have more luxury than the average experiemental subject #ofc none of this reallt matters when the researchers wont let him go free but its the smalle victories...#eventually hell work his way up to freedom #ratio is the poor sap who was dragged into the study half way to teach aventuring how to Be Human basically #he accepts the proposition bc everyone deserves to have knowledge! even fish!#my art #comics #scribbles

taking every small win i can lately. woke up feeling terrible but took some steps to help myself feel a little better. will take it as slow as possible today. and it doesn’t fix everything, but any improvement is better than none. being compassionate is better than being ashamed and guilt ridden, since there are a lot of things out of my control but at least i’m proud of doing what i possibly could. i’m still enough as i am right now, even if what i can do is limited.
