the unnamed mc believed their curse formed a holy groupmind.

if mc's curse affects everyone the same way, is it too presumptuous to say they may have killed several people? maybe even hundreds if their temple served a larger population?

they may have used their curse haphazardly, convinced distorting the minds of others was somehow a good thing.

but what if the curse doesn't affect everyone in the same way? mr chokey was jeff-the-killer-ified due to it, but maybe that doesn't happen to everyone. if it did, why would any religious organization think it appropriate to use on its patrons? unless it's a very out-there cult, i suppose + it's also not unheard of for sermons to get a little crazy (speaking in tongues, exorcisms, snake churches, etc) so maybe unnamed mc's superiors thought the curse's effects appropriate after all?

so then how many people did they touch? just a few? dozens? hundreds? did all those touched have to be killed, or did they kill others? was every sunday at church a bloodbath???

how much blood is on the unnamed mc's hands????

did the alchemist and the hound have specifics like that in their background? lmk pls!!

The fact that I am being driven crazy by the strange obsession a lot of tma Tumblr users have with a wrong interpretation of Michael Distortion is actually so Distortion coded it's kinda funny

[originalcontent]

Given the bajillion different interpretations of vampires out there, in your opinion which flaw is the most fundamental to them and should be present in every adaptation?

Questioning aspec culture is am I actually aspec at all, or am I just an allocishet who’s forced their way into queer spaces?

I’ve been feeling more of what I like to call Confusing Man Feeling #1 a lot more recently, and I really can’t tell if it’s attraction. I am unhappy with the idea of feeling attraction, tbh.

Idk what’s wrong with me.

Thinking about Taylor’s explanation about “peace” in the Long Pond Studio Sessions being, “are the things I can give you enough to make up for the things that I can’t?” And now we have Travis out here on main telling anyone who asks that he just ignores the noise which allows them to just live their lives as freely and as normally as they can which in turn makes them very happy and well. That’s got to be a mind blowing experience is all I’m saying.

The only thing I wish were different is that OU would be here and have their vault apocalypse today instead of in the semifinals. And that way nobody could ever cheapen this.

can we talk about the meep’s pronouns moment in the star beast again? i want to talk about the way it’s set up. in any other show, this would have been a joke. it would have been, “oh, look at this trans person getting so up in arms about the doctor assuming this alien’s pronouns. isn’t that an insane thing to care about?” and then that would be where it ended, the entire point being that asking for pronouns is ridiculous, that a trans person pointing it out is ridiculous, and we should be laughing at Rose for bringing it up.

but. it’s not. Rose says, “You’re assuming he as a pronoun?” in a tone of voice that, to me, at least, reads as someone who has been in this situation many, many times before and been laughed at for caring. who has been the butt of that joke. who starts this dialogue off from a defensive position because every time before she’s ever asked in earnest, she’s been shut down.

and then the Doctor says, “True. Yes. Sorry. Good point. Are you he or she or they?” The Doctor acknowledges Rose’s point, apologizes for glossing over it, and makes an effort to ask. Hell, the moment is even used to set up the Doctor connecting to the Meep more like he will when the Meep mentions having two hearts; they both share “the” as a pronoun as a pronoun.

(and I’m reading through the transcript right now to check, but as far as I can tell, yeah. The Doctor does then use “The Meep” to refer to the Meep for the rest of the episode, not any other pronoun.)

It’s a very brief moment, but it feels intentionally made to invoke those jokes, to take them and say, ‘no, why would this be a joke, we’ll take it seriously.’ Expectations subverted brilliantly. The Doctor says trans rights.

i liked the little data and spock exchange in unification and it made sense what w their opposite directions wrt desire to associate with 'humanity'. that said i think worf is a more direct parallel to spock in that respect

i am having an existential crisis because i was studying about paradoxes and timelines.

Having to explain to my mom that 5min crafts is a content farm/what that is. That sure they have some genuine hacks, but a lot are genuinely dangerous and bad

It's like I'm not trying to be the parent, but I've been on the internet daily since I was 9 years old and you respectively have only been on it for maybe 8 years? Consistently? And only on Facebook. Like man the shit I have seen has aged me a lot more mentally than I care to admit.

It's so hard too bc I know I should like a know it all/conspiracy freak when I tell her not to get a reddit bc she's gonna get sucked into a WS cult and get radicalized, or when I tell her Facebook reels is the same as tiktok. Which she has continuously forbade me to have since it came out (bc evil chinese company. It's okay when it's an evil American company though). That she needs to be careful and not just believe whatever she sees, but it's like for once I DO know more and I DO need to be the adult.

Like I remember having so many fucking talks to get her out of that SAVE THE CHILDREN shit and debunking the wayfair shit, and the Hillary Clinton shit, and all this shit. I constantly am telling her "nope that's antisemitism in disguise, heres why" ab stupid theories and shit and why they're harmful and it's like I want to fucking scream

Idk where I was going with this but like god I'm tired

heyyy i hope ur doin well! was going to message u privately but couldn’t. i recently came across a tiktok that posted art that was VERY similar to yours. almost identical. here’s the link

she acknowledges your art after someone mentions you and i dunno it just gave me an ick. i truly love your “Another Life” piece and to see someone try and steal it made me upset. I hope your day goes well and i hope this message didn’t ruin it.

take care <3

ahh, i've seen a handful of artworks derived from this particular piece and i'm still grappling with my feelings about it. a part of me thinks it's not worth acknowledging, and in general when this sort of thing happens i pretend i don’t see it... but it does make me feel a bit like some nameless template machine, when people reproduce my illustrations and replace my characters with theirs.

there’s also a part of me that thinks i very much center my work on women / sapphics of color, and i try to put this intention into my art with care because these things are quite personal to me… so seeing variations of “another life” without any characters of color feels a little like it’s stripping the original work of that intention, as well as its context and meaning. and seeing these creators praised and celebrated for including specific details that were clearly plucked from my work can be pretty disheartening, i won’t lie.

but it’s also a conflicting feeling because i know these artists must have put time and care into their work too. credited or not (and most often it’s not, or brushed aside when it is), i just wish my influence had been a little less overt. i wish that effort could have been spent exploring the concept rather than reiterating it.

anyway, sorry for rambling! i removed the link to the tiktok because i don’t want to cause a fuss - honestly i think i would rather move on from this, time heals all wounds etc - but it’s very sweet of you to let me know, thank you <3
