#what doesn't kill you make you stronger

[cariokay]

não existe nenhum lugar que eu me sinta verdadeiramente querida. onde eu nasci, foram as primeiras pessoas que viraram as costas pra mim.

Até hoje pulo de galho em galho na esperança de encontrar abrigo, mas na primeira oportunidade a primeira coisa que eu escuto é "vai embora daqui".

e eu não tenho pra onde ir. vou a todo canto e não pertenço a lugar algum. sempre existirá a parte que vou incomodar alguém, por isso me retiro sempre e faço questão de me manter ausente para que não sintam minha presença.

talvez se eu ficar aqui no cantinho, muda, sem vida, tenha chances de sobreviver. Toda essa situação só me faz mostrar realmente o que eu sempre digo: estou sozinha.

e quem diz estar comigo prefere ter seu tempo individual do que acolher a minha urgência de viver. o problema não seria resolvido, eu sei, mas seria menos intenso.

talvez aquele meu amigo estivesse certo quando me disse que faltava eu sofrer mais um pouco pra poder ter paz. todos que me rejeitam seriam os primeiros a chorarem por mim e a se perguntarem o porque e o que faltou pra que eu não desistisse.

tento me manter positiva enquanto só há uma corda pendurada que eu posso me segurar sem descanso. tento alternar minhas forças mas as vezes sinto vontade de largar.

sempre eu por eu e fico me perguntando qual o sentido de eu ter sido gerada pra ser rejeitada a troco de nada por pessoas que não estão nem ai por eles.

sufoco tentando buscar ar e me sinto cada vez mais próxima de pessoas órfãs e que foram abandonadas. meu sentimento é esse.

nasci, cresci e morri por dentro para continuar como um zumbi agressivo por fora. não há nada de bom em mim que consigo apreciar.

e também o que poderia restar, já que ninguém também vê nada de bom? queria ter a coragem de sair sem rumo, de mim, na rua, de todos, mas sou fraca até nisso.

a cada dia me identifico mais com uma frase que li na parede de um museu e que virou minha verdadeira moradia: "não pertenço a lugar nenhum. em toda parte sou estrangeiro, ou, na melhor das hipóteses, hóspede."

imo karlach’s soul coin usage seems like it should have been a little more significant than it was.

she only ever really stops to consider the magnitude of burning through a person’s soul for power during an origin playthrough—otherwise she rationalizes to the player that they’re doomed anyway, and if using them gives her an edge in combat, why not use them for good instead of leaving them to be used by evil? the dialogue with lann tarv in act 2, where he tells the story of each soul he's handing over to her, tries to humanize each soul coin, and still she doesn’t really budge and disapproves pretty heavily if she's told no in regards to using them.

it just seems like something that could have caused some kind of conflict between her and wyll, given he sold his soul to a devil in dire circumstances and takes issue with the player for sleeping with mizora, because she 1) is mizora, and 2) similarly expends tormented souls during her romance scene, even if for a different purpose. but it just... never really comes up?

i love karlach. but that seems like it should have gone Somewhere, from a writing standpoint? karlach values wyll as a person but is willing to use currency forged from souls like his for the sake of a temporary power up. she knows the soul is consumed when she uses them. that whole exchange with lann tarv is there to emphasize that every soul coin she destroys was a person once. but it all kind of loses narrative purpose if this combination of factors doesn't mean anything? karlach doesn't change at all in her willingness to use soul coins, no matter what the player says or how much she cares for wyll.

idk. missed opportunity that wyll doesn't have any dialogue about this, of all things.

What is it that the Rat Grinders actually want exactly? Or at least, what does Kipperlilly want since she's the one we know the most about.

At the top of the season it seemed like she wanted to Be The Best at school and Be Recognized in a very Tracy Flick/Sara Berry kind of way and was just going to crazy lengths to get there because this is a world where you help a dragon kidnap girls so you can be Prom Queen and life goes on. But now we know that the Rat Grinders are a part of Porter's larger plan and one of the major steps of that plan is completely abolishing Aguefort as an institution.

It's clear what Porter gets out of this. He gets to be a god and he gets to continue his imperialistic family legacy. And I would maybe get what Kipperlilly would get out of this is she were the Cleric/Paladin of the plan. She'd get to be the new god's champion, like she was gushing to Lucy. That's maybe worth something to an achievement hunting, Type A individual.

But she's not gonna get to be the best student at Aguefort if Aguefort doesn't exist anymore. Hell, Elmville won't really exist anymore. Is Porter planning on opening a new Adventuring School in Rage Elmville and she gets to be the god Principal's pet? Does she think he's gonna make things "fair" for her somehow? How? Retroactively killing her parents? Does she want to use the powers she cheesed from the easy XP he drip fed her to be a renown adventurer? Kinda hard to pull that off when everyone knows you were part of the plan that doomed the town. Maybe she thought they were going to get away with it without being implicated? Does she literally not want anything other than a chance to kill the Bad Kids? Or even pettier, to just to be stronger than Riz? Is that worth it to her? To damn the whole town just so she can say that she beat Riz once? Did she want something concrete at one point but at this point she's just lost in the sauce and doing whatever the next task is without knowing what she'd even do with a victory if she got it? Did she already get what she wanted in the free XP and now she's just paying her end of the bargain?

I'm just very unsure about what her version of a happy ending is here.

based on this concept they got soul bond and sans can feel when smth wrong with papyrus

good thing that sans didn't see the actual injury.. grillby knew that would greatly upset sans, so that's why he pushed him away. it also could have trigger some really bad memories for Sans..so grillby did good job x2 (more thoughts in tags)

When new kuro fans join the fandom, I hope they see one of my posts (specifically the cursed ones) and get struck with immediate fear and worry early so after awhile they're immune to it and aren't phased by more that will appear

[fallevs]

LMAOOOOOO the chills 🤌

Sorry, but this is how TikTok wants it to be

Music changes everything.

Don't know why I didn't want to post it here, but I changed my mind.

coming up with zombie apocalypse stories is always fun because you can just say whatever and people will just have to take your word for it

I think I'm actually gonna start killing

Nah this is the nth time and I'm done. It's become like breathing to me now. It has not gotten better. It's i who have just become used to this shit. People you don't expect to hurt you will hurt you. Things that you want will not come to you. You will feel like you have nobody. YOU will feel like a nobody. It's true. It's all true. You gotta do all of this yourself, build yourself from the scratch every time only to watch yourself fall apart again . Like a house of cards.

kinda drives me up a wall when people go "hey i think x action in a war/combat scenario is inhumane and cruel and shitty" and someone responds with "oh but within the laws of war it's allowed or there's procedure for it etc etc". it doesn't have to be a war crime to be unforgivable man it's a shitty rulebook anyway

Sometimes I'll read the lyrics to my own songs and just start losing my mind in the same way I would if I was just listening to some song for the first time that punched me in the emotional guy or smth. Like as if I didn't type them out with my own two thumbs.

finished the first part of the new season of cobra kai and. i can only allude to the full extent of the shit i put emery gori thru in power payback. but i feel like there is a similarity in the way i rooted for tory going to compete with kreese's team at the sekai taikai in being like "it's so bad but it's gonna be so compelling character wise to see her work past this" and everything i do to emery
