Happy Valentine's Day! (and this blog's first post anniversary!)
#poorly drawn mdzs#better drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#lan wangji#Woah...it's been a whole *year* since I took the leap and uploaded my 'first attempt' art.#It's outdated now but it holds a special place in my heart for the fact it started all of this off.#Calling this 'poorly-drawn' was always about accepting that my art was going to be imperfect and messy - and doing it anyways!#There has been a staggering number of times I have drawn something I almost didn't upload because I didn't think it was 'good enough'#only for someone to say they liked it - or that it made them laugh. And it has helped me realize -#-The worst critic for my work has always been myself. If I listened to it all the time...well we would not be here now B'*)#And now that I have dabbled in other fandoms I can truly see how lucky was to start out with the MXTX fans.#The supportive messages and tags have truly been a guiding force toward my artistic and self improvement.#I really can't describe how grateful I am.#Thank you for seeing something worth rooting for when I was just figuring things out.#Thank you for being sweeter than the candy I have strategically hidden in the nooks and crannies of this house.#But watch out! If you forget to find them we will get ants.#I remembered to not hide chocolate in the bed this year. Yes I know it melted last time. Yes it did stain. I'm still sorry.#Thank you for loving me regardless <3 Even if it looked like I shit the bed real bad.

the man with the okami tattoo
alts:
+undie shots bc i'm in love w the idea of the lil tail(s) peeking out 🤭
#my take on what nishitani's tattoo might've been#LOVE the idea of the okami for him. esp since they can prey on humans or protect them (*cough* majima *cough*)#esp ESP since he preyed on majima at first but then he protecc!!💋#and something about crossing paths w an okami as being either a good or bad force depending on how you treat them. or what you need most atm#SOMEthing like that#being a guiding soul for majima when he needed it most#hhhhhHH 🥺🥴#nishitani homare#homare nishitani#yakuza#yakuza 0#yakuza fanart#rgg#rgg fanart#scribbles#empty tattoo lineart versions bc freckles :) that was mainly the reason lmaO

Apparently I am deeply detached from widespread public opinion on Mount Everest bc at work I read a blurb for a memoir where some woman was like " I needed to prove something to everyone, so I decided to be the first woman to climb Mt. Everest without oxygen" like all you are proving to me is that you're a twat
#I'm gonna make the climb even MORE dangerous so my local guides forced to let tourists trample their sacred mountain#bc they need the funds in their economy#are more likely to have to drag my insensate body back down endangering themselves in the process#can't you volunteer at a soup kitchen or something#what IS it about annoying people desperate to go die in inhospitable environments#some moth to a flame shit happening here

S5 opener REAL
#byler#will byers#stranger things#every season besides s4-5 opens with non main characters#for el we got a flashback of the lab followed by her perspective in the scene directly after#and I think for Will we will see something similar#with us getting the flashback of him in castle byers in the UD#followed by him in the present in the scene after#but what exactly would warrant that memory being brought up in association with Will in the present?#mayhaps his connection to the mindflayer and the UD run deeper than we realize…#it’s likely not something he could just rid himself of in s2 and now he’s all good#he literally still feels a connection to everything he is feeling#that means he is still technically at risk of being the spy in some capacity#the massacre at Hawkins lab also was a guiding force for El discovering the ‘truth’ in s4#so it’s likely for Will this instance will operate in a way that re-contextualizes the events in the past up to now#like that time Will suggested they go to the hospital in s3 only for the flayed to be waiting for them#or how flayed Billy knew they were at the cabin…#all while Will was looking cryptic as hell in that scene watching over el#or the fact that he picked Billy in the first place the season after he focused on Will…#you know.. williams#I think the easiest way to introduce the castle Byers flashback is a dream honestly#specifically a dream within a dream#seeing that recent leak and Will looking like either he has a black or hasn’t slept in days#is giving very much ‘I am afraid to sleep bc I’m scared of what will happen’#I think dude is not exactly possessed in the sense that we already saw in s2 with like the particicles#but he’s still vulnerable#the door is still ajar…#no but fr this idea of opening a door in your mind was so blatant in st2 AND s3b of teen wolf#I think a big part of it will be guilting Will over the fact that Will has helped him before without Will telling the others#hence his weird vibe in s3… like he’s already successfully fucked with Will post s2 potentially with us being none the wiser aka here we go

Oh my fucking God
Chirrut does not prove that a non force sensitive can be trained as a Jedi
1. He's not a Jedi, he's a guardian of the whills
2. He still cannot use the Force, he doesn't use it in the movie, Chirrut trusts in the Force believes that it will guide him, but he cannot consciously feel or use it
The whole point of Chirrut's character is about faith
He is the believer to Baze's jaded doubter
Chirrut puts his faith in the Force, that it will lead him to his destiny and the forces of good to victory, and in turn his faith inspires Baze to regain his
And we never know with certainty that Chirrut was guided by the Force
But that's the point of faith, we don't know, we can't know, it's a matter of belief
Maybe the Force did help him, maybe he did it all by himself, or maybe because the Force exists in everything, Chirrut's action was the Force intervening
#wooloo-writes#wooloo writes#star wars#sw#anti ahsoka#ahsoka critical#anti dave filoni#dave filoni critical#chirrut imwe#baze malbus#on the force#on faith#rogue one#faith#faith is about believing#not seeing#even if you don't know#the belief that something guides you is powerful

domestic dog that belongs to no one; wild wolf that chooses to belong to someone
#bottom is a Mexican gray wolf and top is a German shepherd#there is so much symbolism loaded into this. I’ve been having a lot of fun using tarot cards to recomtextualize OC imagery#but the critical thing about Avery as The Chariot is that he is always in forward motion. compelled by internal and external influences but#emotions are his driving force in much larger quantity than anything else.#Avery likes to be collared to something. often someone. loyalty and devotion guiding otherwise wild impulses#like I said there’s a lot to unpack#anyway#Wes is next#Avery#autumn art#tarot#the chariot

my seniors have been so quiet all year and it’s been fine cause we’ve had a lot of writing/research to do but I need them to talk to me now so i was hit by a bolt of inspiration two days ago and I made them all tell me their comfort level with sharing aloud, rating themselves on a scale of 1-10. I then averaged the class score and they’re a 4.5. I then told them yesterday we needed to raise the score the tiniest bit. And the 1’s and 2’s didn’t need to be 10’s just maybe 3’s and 4’s. And they tried! They talked more 😭
#it’s sooooo hard because when a class is quiet my default is to assume you hate me#which is so hard because I need a response. which is why I actually can handle a loud raucous class pretty well because it’s just about#holding their attention and redirecting#but when they’re quiet it’s so hard. but i’ve really forced myself to be like ‘they don’t hate you they’re just quiet’#and they ARE#and actually they are reading (not all of them lol) and a lot of them want to learn#it was really helpful going to try to capitalize on this today#I had a moment a few weeks ago where I taught them a poem and it was crickets and I was like sigh they hate it and me#but then I said wanna learn another one? and like—seven of them nodded at me with big eyes and quiet enthusiasm#and I was like okayyyyy there is something going on#it feels so different teaching them than any other class it’s been a real learning experience for me#also yesterday we were talking about Jane Fairfax and Emma hating her lolololol#and Emma being frustrated with Jane’s reserve and I teased them a little bit#I said you’re not cold but you ARE reserved and I am Emma trying to get you to tell me about Frank Churchill at Weymouth#literally lol#ALSO it hit me like a ton of bricks yesterday that this is the class where I need to tell them WHY I make them tell me all the plot details#and we go over it together#and the actual concrete purpose of it. cause it isn’t just book-clubbing it!#it has to do with guiding them through a novel but also teaching them how to do it themselves#I get so prickly when people think it’s just book club behavior#if I was in a book club i would be a tyrant which is why I belong in a classroom#ANYWAY I AM WASTING THE DAY AWAY#but i have woken up with great excitement because I’ve been mulling on the seniors all year#and I feel like I’m getting somewhere#teaching tag

Why is it that pretty much every ya thriller is like “random teenage girl decides to investigate year(s) old murder/disappearance of perfect sweet angel of the community and continuously puts herself in situations where she is alone on purpose with people she suspects might have had a hand in the murder but also along the way finds out that literal victim might not have been so perfect all along and also some things should just stay hidden oooooh spooooky”
#and the teenage girl is always an introvert whose never been to a party in her life outside of the case#(unless missing girl was her best friend who forced her to go to parties of course)#and everyone after the crime is like ‘so and so was a saint’ but everyone teenage girl interviews is like ‘yeah she was a horrid bitch’#and there will be at least 15 red herrings all saying something along the lines of ‘you don’t know what you’re getting into’#or ‘*victim* wasn’t who people thought she was’ and then teenage girl has to spend like a full chapter making sure they’re not a suspect#and the killer is always some super nice upstanding pillar of the community who tries to kill teenage girl but oh! love interest is here!!#did I mention love interest is the only one helping out with the case until him and teenage girl have a break up over something stupid#halfway through and then get back together like two chapters later#and also love interest is interested because he knew the victim or who people thought did it in some way and needs to truth or whatever#can you tell I’m watching the good girls guide to murder show#great book I do love it it’s just not very genre breaking#like so many of these tropes I could point out exactly in so many other books#specifically pip keeps getting herself alone with men she believes to be dangerous like girl stop that#madurday night live

ADHD is a wild beast
one week youre drawing transformers fanart for 4 days straight, and a few weeks later youre feverishly trying to nifbash an outfit together and going completely off the fucking rails the guide set out for you
#textposting#something gives me the impression that when tammer made his nifbashing guide#he didnt do so with the expectation that some unhinged 2d animator would#ya know#immediately go off the rails and start brute forcing a long skirt into becoming the bottom end of a sweater#and then having to reckon with needing to both texture and somehow generate normals for it#normals especially#“oh but why not model it from scratch” weight painting scary next question#for the record i am inflicting this on myself of my own volition#on the bright side i feel like my drawing experience is just about the only thing stopping this mesh from devolving into a complete shitsho#i may not have any idea what im doing but by god if i dont have a mental library of shapes in spaces built up over the years#an admittedly faulty library but a library nonetheless#uhh in the unlikely event that tammer sees this since he IS on this webbed site#deepest thanks for the guides and my apologies for what i am proceeding to do with them#i am somehow incapable of following direction on anything but baking but rest assured that torturing myself like this is how i learn

Wherever she's from, however she got here, sending people "on their way" is her job, and her clones are continuing their job.
Hence, the reason she only ever fought back in self-defense. She acted as student council president in order to keep people in line, not just because she's a model student and thinks everyone should follow the rules, but because that's how they move on from this "afterlife."
#anime#angel beats#i think i see what this world is supposed to be#it's like limbo or purgatory or something#and to move on you have to follow the rules...#or accomplish your purpose or goal that you never achieved in life#kanade's job was to guide them on their way...#by forcing them to follow the rules#kanade tachibana#tenshi

Man I don't think Papa Khan even Wants to be king of the Mojave drug empire
#He seems to despise the way they're forced to live in new vegas#And I know it's implied that he'd rather go back to being the raider King of new vegas#But idk his willingness to take on the Followers concepts and guide the Khans into a group#Who take inspiration from specifically from the 'governance economics and transportation' from the Mongolian empire#Idk. There's something about him#He's not happy tho like. The drug business is a means to an end to him#Txt

i'm so tired. year after year i've posted on facebook/Instagram where I have irl people, begging for someone to come hang out and do fun summer activities i've wanted to do since I was a kid but never got to do. year after year i'm ignored and don't get to do anything with anyone. this summer i've been trying they bumble friends app. but it's the same there. I have to try to initiate things and don't get much response and don't know how to plan anything. if I do plan, i'm afraid i'll waste the little time and energy I have on nothing. I doubt strangers will agree to meet up when I can't even figure out how to get to know them properly....
"ask people people directly instead of making a broad post" i've been told. i've tried that too, over and over. it always ends in rejection and excuses. i'll ask, they'll say they can't because they're busy. so I "put the ball in their court" as they say, and ask them if we can plan another time. more excuses or getting ignored. tell them to let me know as soon as they know. but if I don't ask them again, they will never speak to me again. they never let me know. they forget i exist, or simply avoid me on purpose. they do things with all their real friends instead, because they can always make time for them, even after I was told they're busy this weekend with work, I find out they went out with friends all weekend and didn't actually have work or plans at all before that. if I ask too many times, they eventually ghost me and don't even give excuses anymore. they don't even have the kindness to tell me they don't want to see me so I can stop wasting my precious time and energy on them.
"people like to be asked directly because it means you want to meet them specifically and they feel special, so theyre more likely to accept" or whatever, I don't remember the exact words I was told, it was something like that. but I can get that. that's why I will try a few times before giving up. that's why I wait endlessly year after year for someone to reach out to me first for once to do things or even just chat. it's always expected that I always reach out first, ask first, plan everything. i'm not good at that. is that why I always fail at it? the rejection affects me more than for others. trying to plan things is exhausting and overwhelming. especially when I plan a while thing and get canceled on or rejected, time after time. yet I still try and keep waiting, wasting my time and feeling more alone.
why do I have to always be the one to reach out? why can't I expect someone to one day respond to my broad posts? why do I have to ask directly every time and do the socially draining song and dance just to be met with failure? they're so quick to push me away. I don't think asking directly does anything at all to benefit me or them. I don't think they actually care or need or want my attention, because they all have their people. me asking directly doesn't make them feel special at all.
"it's a two-way street/you don't have to do everything/find people who will put in effort too" i'm told these things. it sounds good in theory. but I can't control what other people do or think or feel, so it isn't helpful. go tell that to the difficult people I know and keep meeting. tell them how to communicate properly, because i'm sure if I give them a lecture on proper communication and how to treat me better, they will block me immediately. people have a bad habit of refusing to listen to me no matter how hard I try to communicate with them.
"as people directly" feels more like a lie I was told. a thing told to me to say i must not be trying hard enough and that's why I fail. a lie to remind me that i'm socially unacceptable and do everything wrong. they don't need me to ask directly. they aren't going to accept anyway. but what about me? what if i'm the one who wants to feel special that I was chosen by someone directly over others, that they thought if me, wanted to give their precious time to me? instead of being their last choice, hoping they accept because they have no one else, because all their real friends and favorite people are busy but they need socializing. the reality is, i'm usually not even a choice at all. I've seen their posts where they're bored or want to do a thing but don't ask me like I asked them to. they get responses from their real friends and set plans and don't have space left for me. I want to feel the thing i'm told other people are supposed to feel when I ask directly. they don't seem to feel that at all because it's me and i'm not people they like. I can't ask too much or ask to join in. desperate people are never wanted. maybe I still look too desperate once or twice a year.
it sure would be nice to be liked. to be on someone's mind when they want to invite people. to get invitations to things, to be included in plans, to get people to accept my invites. to have someone to actually want you around and ask you suddenly without warning, making the plans, without you having to do anything but show up and join them. instead of being forced to spend my life alone, I want to feel what it's like to actually be wanted....
#lee rambles#big ramble that took way too long to write. so tired now 😭#social battery drained from trying to make people like me enough to be friends and failing#dont know what do. need socially adpet friend who guides me. cant be social guide. too overwhelming and exhausting#need a social friendly extrovert to adopt me and drag me around or hang out comfortably#but that only happens in animes and stuff. never in real life......#why is this life so lonely.....#petition to change autism to “lonely social isolation disease” /sarcasm#autistic#autism#actually autistic#i assume its the autism. or am i actually insufferable or something. ill never know since people dont like to inform me of things adequately#no om not asking for advice. ive heard everything by now and nothing helps. unless you can teach me mind control#its on other people. they are the ones who need to take the responsibility and do things since i cant force them to despite trying my best

i have and still do think its extremely weird how many people have an immediate negative gut reaction to fur and to hunting in general, especially occurring even more negatively the less they know about it. like.
even just disregarding the fact that an animal being hunted is one of the most sustainable things available to most people nowadays, with the animal being killed as fast as possible in a way that utilizes as much of their body as possible, in a way that produces very little waste, when basically every hunter i know are some of the most ecologically conscientious and green-minded people you can find — the fur and leather and bone itself is one of the few things you can actually feel Connected to anymore.
like i look at the other stuff they promote and so many "green products" and i still can't tell where they're from or how they were produced or even entirely what went into making them. none of my furs are like that. i often talked to the person who hunted and skinned and tanned the hide, who sewed the hat or the bag or the coat, i can identify and pick out the exact animal who gave its life for it and know them very intimately, and for an incredibly long amount of time, long enough that most of what i have was passed down to me from my family. like these are the opposites of fast fashion in every respect, im usually excited to be able to break out my otter or raccoon hat when winter comes around, i come back to my buffalo bags over and over.
i'm often very uncomfortable when they're described as "luxury items" as well for that reason - they're often just priced accordingly to the time and effort that goes into them and will last just as long as the price tag implies. animal fur and leather are the very first materials humans had available to them. it's not any different than going to a craft show and buying a knitted hat from a grandma for me, except that i know the full history of how all that material was acquired in the first place and that it won't be sat aside or forgotten under anything else. it's very hard, even when you just have one fur hat, to not make the full use out of it, that you want to and it occupies a position of respect. hell, fur isn't even "in" for rich people anymore, it's increasingly gone out of fashion for them and has shown up less and less over time.
i don't know. it's very weird to see everyone has a weird gut reaction to seeing fur or discussing hunting, in a way that has never correlated to anything i've actually experienced.
#all the care guide says is 'biomass'#its like. idk. is a good shovel a luxury item?#sure the poorest people wont be able to afford it and will be forced to buy shittier shovels#but certainly its not the rich people buying shovels#and you wouldnt call someone who has a good shovel that has served them very well for a long time. a rich person.#also like. yeah. in certain poor communities it IS very common to have fur and leather#because hunting is necessary for people to eat. you are too poor to buy from the grocery store.#and then the products of that get passed down because they Keep and Keep Well#but even moreso the psychological experience of having fur is different#in a way thats harder to explain to someone who doesnt have that experience#you just. dont let it go to waste.#you feel much more beholden to it and to treat it well#and to use it and not let it go to waste#in a way that you dont get with the mass produced shit they act like is neutral#i think if i had to be philosophical about it id tie it into individualism#that if you get something mass produced then you arent beholden to it and dont feel responsible to it#it means whatever and it cant force you to do anything so you end up as the defining factor#its easier to pretend it has no one elses fingerprints on it#but this is impossible with fur. you look at it and youll always be reminded a life was given for it#and immense effort had to be given to turn that life into something for you#and you are beholden to that. you are connected to it. you cannot pretend that youre separate.#and i like that. it freaks me out to think of how many things i have that i dont fully know where they came from or who made them#in a sense greater than what a tag says it came from or what company made it#it was a singular animal. it was a specific person. you can talk to them. you know them. you can see it.

kinda wanna cry bc i just dont know who i am rn and havent really for weeks and every other known front gets harder and harder to sustain
#trying to get anyone familiar in front doesn't work anymore#but we don't know. who we are. the new ones. if there's more than one. if there's any. what we are#and we've been trying and trying to find resources for figuring this out but most new headmate guides are either:#telling you minute details about like what a phone is and what earth is which is. overkill for us with mostly shared memory#or what honestly feels like an OC introduction sheet#or just made solely for fictives and excludes any experiences of brainmades like asking whats your source and what do you remember#i have no memories i have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING i don't know ANYTHING about myself#I'm not anything and nothing helps#how the fuck am i supposed to choose a name when I don't even know WHAT i am#trying to force others into front is making us feel sick and anxious and 1000000 times more forgetful and disassociatey#but not knowing who i am is the worst feeling in the world#i just want something i KNOW#i just want to know anything
