im so fucking tired. but like, i don’t want to look at my phone or watch a film or make jewelry or draw something. i just want to bury my face in the crook of someone’s neck, but no one warns you about the guilt of being ungrateful that comes with loneliness

a wandering knight, drawn to the quiet of the forest. her touch may be a blessing or a curse.
#my art#artists on tumblr#illustration#knight whose touch turns anything into plants and it can vary from subject to subject. she came to this power 'mysteriously'#the transformation is also dependent on how long contact is maintained... smiley face....#idk maybe once in a while i'll drop something like this. it's fun to think of a character while trying to banish an art block#also thanks for liking the wip of this!!!!

So.... what are your thoughts on Ace's UM, if you haven't been asked this already?
sneaky magic for the sneakiest boy
no but really, I think it fits him really well! I had thought his UM would probably involve something kinda sleight-of-handy or pickpockety! and I looooved that it made such a nice loop-around back to episode 1. ❤️ I was. kind of half-expecting him to just run out and punch Riddle in the nose again. but instead this time 'twas he who offed the queen's head! it was great! and he did it while stone-cold terrified out of his mind! because Ace is the only remotely normal or well-adjusted person at NRC and therefore the only one who is like "we're going to literally die, this is super effed up". but he did it anyway!!!! I AM SO PROUD
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 12 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 12 spoilers#also love how it complements deuce's magic! they are two of a kind ❤️♠️#i do think bet the limit fits the 'uno reverse card' description more though#like...okay they haven't really said much on how joker snatch works#(literally ace went 'we'll talk about it later')#but i think it's not supposed to be inherently retaliatory if that makes sense#the japanese is something like 'put an ace up my sleeve'#which implies to me that it's not really an in-the-moment thing? i think he can steal it and hold on to it for a while probably#like he might be able to snatch it and then use it on someone else later rather than it being reflected back on the original caster#versus deuce's being that he punches you back with your own punch (and/or other various punches he's acquired)#(a connoisseur of fine punches)#i am 100% guessing though so who knows! we will find out later i presume#now the only one left to get their um is grim maybe 👀#(i mean i would also love to see some staff ums HEY TWST THAT WOULD BE COOL)#(but like. narratively speaking and all)#oh and maybe crowley's depending on how plot-important he actually ends up being#what if it turns out nothing's going on with crowley and he's actually completely irrelevant#he tears his mask off and he's just some random dude who has zero idea of what's happening#nobody's been orchestrating shit#everyone's just been getting radioactive poisoning from the stone adeuce replaced in the chandelier back in the prologue#this was all a cautionary tale about getting the blot levels in your school's hvac system regularly checked

None of our hands are clean
[First] Prev <–-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#jin guangshan#mianmian#The secret meaning behind one of the jin members scuttling off is:#I couldn't make three people work out in the remaining panels and per my rule of '3 attempts and take a different approach' he had to go.#Sometimes there are meaningful reasons why something happens in the background. And sometimes it is like this.#Let's just say he saw what was about to happen and got out of there before mianmian started throwing hands.#Okay no more delay. The sheer boldness to call WWX a killer in a room full of people who wear their war body count as a badge...#It's about hypocrisy yes - but it is also about how the narrative shifts on the same action depending on the frame.#Because at the end of the day...the blood on our hands is still blood on our hands.#Both the deaths on the battlefield and the deaths of the Jin's abusing the Wen remnants are still deaths caused by another.#They are also deaths that - depending who holds the frame - are noble acts to protect others.#But it isn't supposed to be about who was right and who was wrong.#It is about the need to be seen as the victim to avoid culpability.#Because if you aren't responsible you don't have to be held accountable. You don't have to grow or change.#If someone takes all the blame then there is no need to reflect on your own faults.#We have to protect our fragile ego from the mirror lest it shatter and we have to remake it anew.#Horrifically enough...even if WWX spared the Jin guards or even never ran into Wen Qing#He wouldn't have been able to escape being the scapegoat. He downfall was set into motion a long time ago.#My goodness...What a deliciously tragic story Wei Wuxian's first life was.

Genuinely how did he go to jail for water crimes in the WRONG COUNTRY
#I think xavier should hurry up and get films widely distributed already#so Fontainians have something to consume other than a worrying obsession with true crime#tartaglia's jail experience will depend solely on whether inmate brawls are allowed or not#genshin impact#my art#genshin spoilers#also is it just me or were there SO many onscreen deaths this update. maybe it's a murder mystery thing but ToT#paimon#traveler genshin impact#furina#clorinde#freminet#lyney#lynette#neuvillette#charlotte genshin impact#navia#tartaglia

this will forever be the funniest moment in final fantasy xiv to me. you are a bright young officer of the globe-spanning evil empire. over the last few months you've watched the entire empire crumble from the edges inward after the former crown prince killed his father and seized the throne so he could redirect the state toward his own occult ends. you have witnessed unbelievable horrors. you had to kill your own family. finally, you get a chance to stand across from the man who caused all this and ask: why? what was it all for?
and he goes, uh, because i wanted to, dipshit? that's literally the only reason anyone does anything? fuck, you're stupid. if you don't believe me ask literally anyone else. or even like an alien. they'll tell you they do whatever they want for the specific reasons they made up. and like that's literally fine we're all just doing what we want for the cool made-up reasons we each picked.
then a teenager roasts him and he vanishes from history forever. you were probably the last of your countrymen to ever see or speak to him, the man who burned down everything you knew and loved for nothing at all. and like the second to last thing he ever said to you, right between imparting his existentialist philosophy and threatening to kill you, was that aliens are real. he didn't even pause, just said "go ask an alien" and went on with his speech like aliens existing was a baseline assumption everyone could agree on.
#zenos#endwalker spoilers#jullus pyr norbanus#you might ask: can't you just read that sentence to mean he's saying “ask any other person or even the gods”?#and the answer is yes you could. imo the sentence is grammatically ambiguous and it depends on how you parse it#is it “any creature [of this star] and those above” or “any creature [of this star and those above]”#but even still that just means the atheist emperor of your explicitly-and-purposefully-atheist empire said “the gods agree with me btw”#which is also weird on an equally fundamental level if you really try to take ffxiv's ideas about religion as seriously as you can#the garleans straight up don't acknowledge anything as divine. they don't even really acknowledge primals as foreign deities#the whole rhetorical point of calling them eikons (icons) is that it implies they're something that spoken raised up themselves#they're about as unspiritual as it is possible to be in this game#the encyclopedia eorzea even indicates that eorzean theologians believe religion and magic are fundamentally intertwined#and thus garlemald doesn't have religion as basically a result of natural law (given their inability to wield aether)#even as pure rhetoric it would be jarring to hear your highly-refined and well-educated crown prince start speaking in theistic terms#but it's funnier and easier to say the alien thing

hmm orv au where gamer yjh fans vaguely spot kdj in the background and try to track him across social media.
they discover that he only exists on the internet across a bunch of random videos, almost ALL from famous celebrities and influencers. Everyone who knows someone can't figure out who this man is irl. But he has a nice voice and all his acquaintances seem to be some degree of obsessed with him.
#and that yjhs mood for the day depends entirely on whether mystery man is there nearby or not#who is this man the impervious yjh so fondly calls 'hyung'#whos gonna write this for me#orv#omniscient reader's viewpoint#kim dokja#yoo joonghyuk#tbw aus list#writing#joongdok#something with this theme probably already exists but still#text post

sorry for bringing up stupid discourse in the middle of the night again. remembered the time someone tagged my homophrosyne post complaining that odysseus gets to sleep around while loudly proclaiming that he'll kill his wife if she cheats. which: absolutely did not happen! not in homer's odyssey!
as i alluded to in that post, there is an implied threat to penelope. but it's not implied in anything odysseus says about or to her! i would argue that it's most heavily implied in how the telemachia is framed by the house of atreus drama. orestes has recently avenged his father's death at the hands of his mother's lover; it stands to reason (so the story would go) that if penelope were to accept a suitor, they would pose a threat to odysseus, and telemachus would have to avenge him. that is the implied layout of the poem. which it then subverts time and again by none of that happening with odysseus, penelope, and telemachus.
and it's also implied by the gendered double standards around marital fidelity in a multi-thousand-year-old text, which are overarching, and not particularly shocking in that context. i find it completely disingenuous to make it an odysseus problem when there is so much going on in their marriage that's more interestinggg
#anna.txt#a tag for bitching#to return to that comment. we DO have examples of husbands (vocally!) wanting to murder their wives for infidelity#notably menelaus!! depending on what you're reading he may actively intend to kill helen after the war!!#but odysseus in the odyssey: does not ever verbalize something like that#odysseus' sex life tag

hey guys… we all know that it’s okay for mithrun to have a caretaker for the rest of his life, right? that even after he heals and potentially regains his desires he will probably still need support?? that the goal of healing is not to become a “normal person”, but to build skills to navigate the world in a way that accommodates your disability??? that relying on the people around you is not a failure, but proof of your desire to live????
#i’ve seen multiple posts the last couple weeks saying that post-canon fan works that show mithrun w/ a caretaker#are ‘wrong’ because they imply that he will never overcome his trauma#there’s something more to be said about the difference in the perception of/expectations for mithrun’s recovery#depending on whether you read him as an allegory for depression or an allegory for chronic (physical) illness#both are valid btw - it just may change the way you headcanon his future (especially if you live with something similar yourself)#but that’s for another post that i will probably never make#dunmeshi#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi spoilers#dunmeshi spoilers#mithrun#mithrun of the house of kerensil

i feel like you guys only hear about the bad tiktok phenomenon, like Girl Math and stuff like that, bc it prompts more of a reaction. but i want to let you know that i keep seeing one that's called Dinosaur Time, and it's where you SHOVE fistfuls of raw spinach, straight out of the tub, into your mouth and eat it like you're a dinosaur ravenously devouring a delicious tree star. and then you've had a serving of greens. and all it took was 10 beautiful seconds.
#i really enjoy watching people do this bc it depends on the person. but. they do really commit to the Dinosaur part#it definitely counts as a trend bc i keep seeing it#i'm like. what if i channeled as much aggression and desperation as i could. while shoving greens in my mouth#like it's the only food i've had in days.#also this isn't even about Not Liking Vegetables this is just. efficiency. and also creativity. calling it Dinosaur Time instead of#''eating healthy'' is incredible i think. the minds of women are beautiful#like maybe i don't need to prep these. they'll go bad in a few days. i can just jam them into my mouth anytime. they're fully edible#right now. they don't need to be cooked or dressed. i think that's a great idea#and yeah i do kind of want to try this method#sergle.txt#THERE I talked about something other than kms today. are you proud of me mutuals

Prompt 329
Bruce was admittedly suspicious when Talia requests a meeting, and is admittedly still upset with the entire hiding Damian’s existence from him for literal years. But he also admits that he just… has to take a moment.
“Run that by me again please?” He had to have misheard, right? Or gotten drugged by something maybe.
Talia sighs, sounding just as tired as he felt. “Father’s tea supplier has moved to Gotham after an argument, and he wishes to discuss the agreement of him not entering the city- to speak with said vendor.”
#DCxDP#DPxDC#Prompts#Bruce: Why this one vendor??? Why not buy the tea from Anyone else????#Talia (tired): They’re the same age and Father can only get his tea from them- the plants are otherwise extinct#Talia: They are also potentially exes- we never were able to get an answer on that#Danny as an adult has a tea shop with Jazz#Danny isn’t ghost king but he has connections to get plants & supplies all across the zone#And Sam enjoys the challenge of some plants#Valerie owns a protection agency that’s been opened for years now#You get liminal enough and aging is slowed if not outright gone#Depends on the contamination levels y’know#No one knows if Jazz or Danny dated Ras at some point#Amity might’ve gotten time displaced a while back & become something of a fae city

Underused psychological/body horror concept: Character who knows their body was changed without their knowledge or permission, but also realizes their mind was affected because the change itself doesnt bother them at all. They're in a form unrecognizable to how they've been the whole rest of their life, and the most upsetting part is the realization that they're unable to be upset about it.
oh fuck yeah. i'm definitely projecting here, but there is something so satisfyingly horrifying about being able to rationally recognise that you should feel a certain way, but being physically and psychologically incapable of it, because the part of you that would enable you to access those emotions has been cut away, torn up by the roots and cauterised shut before you could feel the pain of the wound it left behind. the added insult to injury of not only having something stolen from you, but taking all of the rage and pain you might have felt at its loss with it. the body-mind entanglement; phantom limbs and phantom grief.
#🐉#they did this in that scott westerfield series. uglies. which isnt the best example but its what i can think of.#overall mid tier books but they had their moments#georgie from tma also has something similar to this going on#but that was cosmic horror rather than body horror#arguably this happened to my girl VAL too but that depends on how you interpret the subtext
