It's so fun to still have people talking about how we're not real casually as though that isn't crazy hurtful. Y'all should know better. Or did you forget that a bunch of doctors currently and historically think you don't exist? Having your lived experience be debate fuel isn't a fun experience.

#syscourse #and you all wonder why we get so fucking tired of being told we just need to look past the bad anti-endos #this is the discourse alignment you choose. we cannot help being non-traumagenic #you have an option not to identify with the shitty people and we are held accountable for everyone who happens to fall into a category #we cannot control

I'm not going back to Gusu with you.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan wangji #wei wuxian #Those last two high effort comics where just a warm up for this masterpiece. My true magnum opus.#I was originally going to do this gag as a 'alternate version of comic 155'#Then I realized that they have the 'Come back to Gusu with me' conversation twice. So here we are!#I did consider having WWX say 'I'm not going back to gusu with you' in the comic for the better plot accuracy.#I'm invoking the rule of silly by having Wei Wuxian read between the lines of 'Come back to Gusu with me'.#Because it does feel like a confession! It is a confession of 'I care about your safety and I worry for what may happen.'#It is also poorly articulated. You can't really blame WWX for reading into it as 'LWJ is just another person trying to control me.'#The relationship between them is not good! It is two parties who genuinely want to be closer with each other but cannot communicate it.#You can't really have what makes these two work so well as a dynamic without the past history of:#“Back then I really wanted to be your friend.” They are a *missed connection*!#WWX reaches out and LWJ rejects him. And now when LWJ reaches out it is WWX who pushes them apart.#It is a tragedy about the consequences of being out of tandem and realizing what you want far too late.#The momentum of WWX's downfall is far to fast to reverse now. It's a 'When' not ''if' question.#Back to your normal style of PD-MDZS next update. Thank you for reading!

Was sitting cross-legged on the ground applying my mascara last night when I finally. Mind body and soul. Let go of the whole “we COULD’VE been” mentality that has haunted me all my life. Like for the past month I’ve pretty much been stuck on this one boy bc “we could’ve been really cute” “we could’ve been something” actually no we couldn’t have been bc I don’t even know him that well and the version of him in my head doesn’t exist and it’s just time to let go of that (and of every other time I’ve extrapolated my own fantasies to someone, friend or crush or otherwise). If we actually could’ve been, then we would be. But we are not. Next .

#my control freak nature always comes in w these situations bc I’m always like well if I’d done something differently #no. wrong. stop it #we cannot control whole ppl to be who we want them to be #and that’s okay.#thank god for laufey and kali uchis bc they’ve been carrying me through this lately #p

#dark urge #baldur's gate 3 #bg3 fanart #bg3 durge #bg3 bhaalspawn #have you ever had a throwaway character you didn’t plan on obsessing over #bc u went full evil with that character #i cannot stop thinking about her #i wanted to go full control with gortash and then the brain just 🧍#i’ll replay her a little bit more tame and a little bit less evil #bc while the game made playing evil fun #it also took a lot of quests away obviously lmao #the line is from in this moment’s blood #also artwise - i’m trying to find a balance between things looking good and leaving them unfinished #procreate #zazrichart #i hate how nasty gla/ze and night/shade look on some of my paintings #but we need it ugh 🗡️

"i can't believe eddie did that to christopher" baby eddie didn't do anything TO christopher. it was a jenga tower of insane circumstances that collapsed at the exact wrong moment. he literally broke up with her. he did not want kim in his house MUCH LESS kim with bangs on cosplaying his dead wife. unfortunately for his control issues he did not have a handle on any part of that. which will inevitably make him worse btw

#like not to be his defense lawyer but . we're so used to thinking about him as a guy In Control of his Actions #(and others' actions! AND OTHERS WHICH IS CRAZY BUT A DIFFERENT TANGENT)#that we cannot admit that he was Not in control of any part of this insane 30 minute roleplay kim did. but he wasn't.#my posts #911 abc

So it only took us about an hour and at least a dozen pulls, but through the sheer power of camaraderie, coordination, and pure sticktoitiveness (and no small amount of perverse stubbornness), 24 strangers managed to down The Minstrel's Ballad: Amon's Revenge!

#ffxiv #patch 7.0 #syrcus tower #amon #friend and i did alliance roulette and it dumped us in there #that first group vote abandoned #but it put is right back in and we realized this was probably gonna keep happening #thankfullythe second group had enough people that wanted to keep trying we could outvote any abandoners and get them to leave instead #and we eventually amassed a full crew of people who wanted to beat the bugged version #and we did it!!!#i figure msq will still be there tomorrow but this bug might not be #yes i would prefer that one person were not wearing the awful warbonnet glam but i cannot control other ppl >.>

i think will should have gotten to see hannibal in his stupid little speedo at least once

#like we all point at will showing up to his office all pretty and poised and ass first but #imagine will who has never even seen Hannibal in a sweater at that point breaking out of jail once again to threaten/kill hannibal #and he shows up at the pool with all his righteous gay fury or whatever never considering what hannibal would be wearing #he makes Hannibal get out of the pool at gunpoint and then his whole brain shuts down #LIKE JUST CANNOT CONTROL HIS EYES AT ALL AND ends up making his threats to Hannibal’s crotch #Hannibal’s too fucking bewildered to even taunt him like ???how did you get out again???

In watching more interviews with Liv about Van and the escalation of Van's pragmatism to such dark degrees, I find myself genuinely baffled that anyone could ever think Van the bad guy. I mean, I'm perplexed at finding ANY of these girls The Bad Guy. The bad guy is the situation. It's being lost. It's freezing. It's starving. It's being scraped down to the barest bone of being alive. They make choices that might be snippy, or cruel, or hard-headed, sure--Shauna refusing to just hash it out with Jackie; Jackie being too stubborn to come inside; Taissa refusing to discuss her situation plainly; etc--but by the time we reach the end of season 2, it doesn't even matter. Petty bullshit doesn't matter. Jealousy doesn't matter. Those things are still going to be present and complicated, because--for all their choices, for all the distancing they're trying to do--these kids ARE still human beings. But it isn't the point.

The point is survival. Plain, simple, straightforward. Van's pragmatism is survival. It is the difference between living another day with blood on your teeth or dying pretty. It is the difference between fighting forward through the fire and the snow and the hell of it all, and laying down to die. Van knowing, in watching the ritual violence of Shauna beating Lottie nearly the death, that they will be killing and eating one another soon. Van coming up with the cards for the hunt. Van not blinking when the moment comes, Van choosing a weapon that doubles as a tool to bring the body back, Van refusing to apologize for staying alive--it's not evil. It's not Bad Guy behavior. It's purely about survival, because there is nothing else left to her--or to any of them. They can play the pretty little Sweet Angel Girl game and die, or they can get dirty, bloody, horrific and fight. Van chooses the fight. Van chooses to fight for herself, for her lover, for her team, even knowing not everyone is going to make it out...because the alternate path there is that no one makes it out. Van knew the baby wouldn't live. Van knows the rest of them won't, either. Not unless they start making the hard choices.

And, honestly, the fact that Van sees this narrative coming. Comes up with this plan. Brings out the cards. To me, that is the opposite of Bad Behavior. That is as close to justice as anyone can find in the wilderness. If someone else came up with an idea, maybe it would have come down to voting--but that would have had such a human element to it, with bitterness or hostility or whatever ultimately petty shit always comes of humans selecting who to Other. The cards don't leave room for that. It isn't fair, because the situation isn't fair, because Man vs. Nature isn't fair, but it's as close to a just system as they could possibly find. It's the kindest solution to an unwinnable game. Not to bring it back to American Gods again, but all I can think is "it's easy, there's a trick to it: you do it, or you die." Van gave them that.

#yellowjackets #yj meta #van palmer #i simply cannot ever accept people blindly hating ANY of the girls for their actions at the end of S2 #because by that point it's not about personality flaws or errors of judgement or teenage bullshit #it's survival. it's literally do or die.#be mad at the stuff they did the first few weeks out there. THAT was in their control.#but by the end of S2 it's 'do i want to live? cool. then this is the next step. there IS nothing else. we are eating belts.'#every once in a while on instagram or somewhere i see a hot take like 'oh this whole thing is THIS girl's fault'#and it's like no no. no--apart from misty busting the black box--NOTHING these girls do will change the fact of their situation #they might make it worse or make it more palatable but in the end #it's the purity of man vs. nature as a story #and any of them getting darker. more logical. more pragmatic. just means they're putting another day breathing first.#the human element of it comes in with the faith and the ritual and the acceptance of violence--but the violence was coming either way #'this place cannot be argued with. and that is how we survive: by giving into that.' exactly. liv hewson you genius. exactly.

Look, I love Jon as much as the next person but I think some of you have gone so far along the ‘Jon is a sad little man who did nothing wrong’ route that you’ve genuinely forgotten all the times he held power in a situation or like. Made a decision that hurt people

#yes Jon was in a terrible situation where he was manipulated and was often powerless and blamed for things he had no control over #yes there have been times where the fandom has been overly critical of Jon and it’s ok to try to combat that #but that does not mean Jon is completely powerless and ‘stupid’ and did nothing wrong!!!!#the entire Point of tma is that the morality of your actions and their results cannot be simply defined as good or bad #Jon was just a person who tried and sometimes failed #also it was a pretty big part of s5 that Jon was the most powerful person in the world. like. did we forget about the murders or #AND the stalking AND him being a totally arse to Martin in s1 #anyway I understand where the poor little meow meow characterisation comes from but to me it’s just doing a disservice to Jon #ugh I can’t believe I’m kinda engaging in discourse #gonna be brave and maintag this:#tma #the magnus archives #Jon sims #be nice to me pls

Hozier really said to future generations, it’s not your fault. You can’t “work hard” and get what you need and want. It’s not your fault that the dreams of fifty years are now unrealistic and unattainable without breaking your soul and maybe not even getting it. You were fucked over before you came into this world, and they continue to fuck you over so much that it’s better to live your life as you see fit. It would be easier because being young and living as you want won’t ruin you but abiding by the systems most likely will.

#unreal unearth #Hozier #damage gets done #blamed for a world we had no power in #very heavy on the greed of everyone trying to take their share without considering future generations means future generations get blamed #for the fact that they cannot survive and they can’t make ends meet and we have to beg #while policies continue to make it harder. introduce rent controlled housing. increase minimum wage. make accessibility a priority.#remove the roadblocks. let us choose ‘unsecure futures’ as artists of all kind #p.txt

r u chill w non transitioning ppl?

Why wouldn't I be? At one point, every trans person who is transitioning was once someone who wasn't (whether or not that was a choice or their need is a separate discussion).

Hatred of any kind of trans person is not a Righteous or Good Thing - every single trans person has their place, their entitlement to safety, community, and respect of who they are
