imagine ianthe's suffering rn. its so funny to me. girl all u wanted was power and i respect that but turns out that the side effect of power isnt the moral implications or whatever, its dealing with god's personal drama.

Just a brief anecdote based on your most recent posted anon that I thought you might find amusing- one time I was talking with someone about protag/antag dynamics and how they're some of my favorites in media. They mentioned that they hadn't seen that dynamic very often and I was like "huh, weird! I've read so many, I see it all the time!" And then when I was thinking of examples I realized that. I was just remembering your whole catalog of work which I love dearly and have read all of (I'm a long time subscriber to your patreon as well). A slight spiders georg moment

oh my god

am I villain spiders georg

not exactly the same, but here are four books with good protag/antag vibes:

Summer sons by Lee Mandelo

Dark Rise/Dark Heir by C.S Pascat

The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue by V.E Schwab

The Last Tale of the Flower Bride by Roshani Chokshi

matt helders depriving alex turner of apples: a saga

I love the logic in Wind Breaker. Hiragi’s literal shark teeth are totally cool and normal, but Sakura’s heterochromatic hair and eyes get him ridiculed and ostracized. His MC privileges got revoked so hard they went into the negatives

Another messy sketch page! Howdy gets distracted pouring Barnaby a drink. Barnaby is amused.

All dogs have personalities of their own, yeah, and any breed can have dogs with big personalities. But the biggest personalities? The dogs who are The Most Dog, who are fun to sit around and watch and even just be near them, who have so much personality and individuality they might as well be people? Dogs who are raised with consent and allowed to communicate and set boundaries, and who trust people to respect those boundaries because those boundaries have been enforced by their owners/handlers.

The difference is absolutely shocking, even between dogs trained mostly positively but without consent focused training and dogs who are trained with consent as a focus. When dogs feel incredibly safe to be themselves and display their natural behaviors you get to see so much more of who they are and develop much more of an equal relationship with their individual personalities.

"my education is my highest priority" everything returns to vocaloid

[tomwambsgans]

tom would be the one at a roy family christmas party to stay in the kitchen for hours making a gingerbread house with actual intricate decorating and everything, and custom shaped gingerbread men to represent everyone in the family including accurate height differences and decently accurate clothes and faces. greg's is so tall that it snaps on accident and tom starts tearing up. he morosely hands greg the two pieces and greg assumes it's some kind of threat

[archduke-enver-gortash]

i think with my recent mosquito debacle (one of the first bite(s) i have gotten in literal years because i am extremely careful btw lol) and general hypochondria i’m being more open about having on here you can really tell that while gortash/gortash & zeke is like. the main thing in this regard, i truly do often write what i’m terrified of with characters like oleander ‘apple bringing sin and evil to mankind personified turning a dignified crusader army into a band of sick violent monsters in a few years and who has so many maggots living in a wound somewhere on his body at any given time & secretly feeds those armies fucked up parasite eggs/other shit of that nature & his own and others flesh’ pathfinder wrath of the righteous too lmao. like the top 3 blorbos ranked on how fast i’d kill myself if i had to be around them are:

gortash

oleander

zeke

Last post before I crash and no-one hears from me until I return from my first final the morrow’s eve (a changed man no doubt) but there’ll never be anything funnier to me than consistently being viewed as a composed and calm saviour by peers while I’m, actively and uncontrollably losing it.

It is wild to me how many people are like, "hahaha op's speech did nothing," as if I am running and participating in these polls to get validation for my blorbo. If I just wanted to be content with my blorbo, I would absolutely not be tossing him up on a platform to be heckled for a week straight. I would be retreating to some echo chamber Discord server to experience the emotional equivalent of everyone gathering around and petting a puppy.

I literally do not think Essek is going to win this poll! I do not think he is going to win the tournament! I seeded Laerryn number one for a reason! For a number of factors I think it would be very difficult for anyone to beat her! I literally put him and Laerryn on the same side of the bracket so that they would not end up in the final, because I did not think it was going to be an interesting fight! We as a fandom beat "Laerryn could smash any wizard in Exandria without contest" into the ground weeks ago! I considered writing a stump speech just for kicks for every semifinalist, because I like to argue things and I love playing up a ridiculous and meaningless kayfabe!

But like, Laerryn has swept many polls, and it's deeply boring to me if she wins in a landslide. I am a polling nerd, and I can confirm that no one watches landslide races. They are not interesting. And this is fully just for the fun of it, so I am gonna make it interesting.

If there's no challenge, no consideration of how the other side might win, then what the fuck is the point of running a tournament?

In conclusion:

I was testing my look for tomorrow's halloween party and now that I'm throwing everything on at once, I have discovered, to my immense amusement, that I accidentally put together a very goth look. Completely by mistake. Might as well ditch my converse for my studded boots with chains since I'm at it and embrace the scene look fully. Clearly my subconscious wanted this all along

[iknowwhereyousleepatnight]

people begging me to do something to make a certain someone happy aren’t taking into account that i hate this person and i will revel in the knowledge that i kept them from getting the most perfect version of what they wanted. in fact i hope they mourn the loss of this for the rest of their life and die unhappy about it
