#I’m still bitter though

[tornoleander]

Whoops, I horrored again

The reason this animatic is taking so long is I space out while drawing cause I love having movement I find animation relaxing, spend too much time on it then I horrify myself and need a break.

I had to use this audio so have a meme ✨

Me and @writing-hat are both bad at visualizing things in our heads and I’m making us pay the price.

#Oli Art #Oli animation #oli’s skybound insanity #ninjago #ninjago skybound #ninjago jay #lego ninjago #ninjago angst #ninjago nadakhan #ninjago art #I have to be wholesome 100% of the time at work so all angst is channeled into Skybound #Skybound deserves it though #I have a feeling despite my enjoyment for wording things as short and simple as I can while still getting the point across #the canon skybound rant video is going to be long #bbnb #bending but never breaking #GENUINELY GETS WAY MORE MORALLY POINT CAUSE HORRERS ARE ALL PUT UNDER THE AWFUL LIGHT THEY DESERVE #also is not marketing to children cause everything is totally going to go over their heads 🫠 #I’m not bitter wdym #Youtube

Gmmtv giving me vampires in an effort to distract me from the fact that last twilight and 23.5 degrees still don’t having airing dates it didn’t work but it was a valiant attempt

#yeah I’m still bitter #those were the shows I was the MOST excited for other than only friends and they keep making me wait for it and I’m annoyed #anyway #I am excited for the vampires though #last twilight #last twilight the series #23.5 degrees #23.5 degrees the series #my golden blood #gmmtv 2024

I think a lot about Lumi was supposed to die at the end of the comic and how I never got there. It’s a concept I’ve had set up in my mind since the beginning, but it’s also one I’m hesitant to keep because it feels too cruel.

#like Lumi in universe and outside that is so well loved #it feels too cruel to kill them off despite the kill your darlings saying you know? #of course the idea still isn’t 100% solidified but Mm idk #before I used to be that “ANGST ANGST YEAH ANGST type person #now I’m just like hm. #this sad plot point could be interesting to put in here #I’m rambling and idk what I’m saying really haha #but I’ve always imagined Lumi to have a bittersweet ending #I’d hate for it to be more bitter than sweet though #Evan bleats #lumi and the great big galaxy

i will NOT pick fights with my group members i will not i will not and i will ESPECIALLY not pick fights with the girl who’s both one of the leaders of the project and who i’ll probably be coworkers with next year i will have patience i am so chill and fine and secure and confident not at all going to explode

#peach rambles #it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine it’s fine there’s no need to get worked up over these little persistent annoyances #she’s nice she’s talented she’s hardworking she’s also. there is just Something i can’t put into words #i should not get bitter about her little quirks she’s human too it’s fine!! #even though sometimes communicating with her and the others like her is like trying to walk through a glass wall #i simply cannot reach them i have never been able to reach my peers she and her people are an in-group #and in-groups can tick you off so fast by failing to communicate or recognize you even though they’re just regular chill people #but they never look past their groups they’re in their own world but they’re trying to be polite still i can’t get mad #it turns me into the villain of the story bc i’m the mean annoying one who has negative feedback that shatters the fairytale world #i approach things differently and it doesn’t gel with how they approach things so they give me orders and i question those orders or argue #i’m the one causing problems with my own ideas but i don’t have a chorus of friends to back me up i’m alone in the fight #so i just look like i suck #auhhhiiihghhhh

Why??? Don’t drop this chapter means a high possibility of gojo being alive him yuta and yuji will fight against sukuna trusttttt

anon i’m literally in mourning rn 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 using this ask as an excuse to rant about this chapter because i’m bitter don’t mind me

(jjk chapter 249 spoilers under cut !!)

to be clear i’m not actually dropping the manga lol i could never but i am eerily tempted <333 this is the only time i’ve actually been upset w akutami (normally i’m his white knight)……. i just feel sooo disappointed? part of me still has hope but i just. ack. :’3

first of all!!! i 100% believe gojo is alive and will return, and also that yuji & yuuta will be able to get gumi back (not sure if that’ll end well tho lmao) so i’m not worried abt that!! and i’m very hyped for sukuna vs yuuta in general, yuuta’s domain is sooo fucking sick and perfect for him!!!!

to be perfectly clear!! i’m upset about this <33

…………… i was so convinced that kenny wouldn’t die but my hopes are almost completely crushed atp… this just Feels like a death moment yk?? and i’m so disappointed not ONLY because kenny is my favorite character but also because this is such an unsatisfactory conclusion for him. :( kenny has so much depth and he’s so important for the narrative, so the fact that we didn’t get a single inner thought from him in his dying moment is like. sacreligious to me. TO BE CLEAR i LOVE his last words and the fact that he mentions takaba (kenkaba stays on top <333) and he looks super good in this panel also… but his death still feels so out of nowhere and unfinished to me.

a part of me is still hoping that he’ll survive somehow, or that we’ll at least see more of him through flashbacks or some afterlife sequence or whatnot, but i kinda…. doubt it. and that irks me. like i’m sorry but to me this just feels out of character for kenny?? he just accepted his death??? really????? he literally spent a millenium planning the merger and culling game just to satisfy his curiousity and suddenly he’s fine with not seeing it?????? i had this whole theory that kenny would find meaning in death (since it’s something completely outside his control, which is explicitly what he was searching for all along) but we didn’t get a single inner thought. no look into what he feels except that he’s happy to have met takaba (which is really sweet and i cried but that’s besides the point)…..

AND THEN THERE’S ALSO HIS CONNECTION TO YUJI. really???? we’re never gonna see a confrontation between them???? yuji is never gonna learn that kenny is his fucking mom????? even if choso tells him or whatever it doesn’t feel conclusive. i’m just mad because it feels like gege had soooo much planned that he wasn’t able to execute because the manga industry is running him ragged and that just sucks :(((( like. hahhhhh….. i just really feel that a villain as wonderful AND as important as kenny deserves more than just a couple panels for his death. naoya got more than that. obviously he was gonna die at some point but i had such high hopes for his final scene and even though i adored his fight with takaba it doesn’t feel right for him to die here.

so as u can tell i am extremely upset <333 i’ll get over it soon and i still have just a tinyyy bit of hope that we’ll see more of kenny but i just feel… so let down by this. i’m gonna treasure the kenkaba panel forever and ever and (again) i LOVE his last words but i just can’t feel satisfied with his death. for now i’m just gonna wait until tcb translates the chapter because the translation i read was clunky…. but i kinda doubt it’ll change much T_T

#sorry anon 💔💔💔 im trying not to be too bitter bc thats not fun for anyone lol but #im in mourning ok 😞😞😞 #tysm for sending this ask though hehe it gave me the chance to verbalize the Grief #im still super excited for next week but i need some time to be a lil depressed T_T #ask tag ✩ #jjk manga spoilers #jjk spoilers #jjk 249 #jjk leaks #jjk manga leaks #jujutsu kaisen spoilers #<- going extra heavy on the tags since the spoiler is in the ask itself .. i hope no one ends up spoiled by this hh T_T #i’m super sorry if so :’3

What if the Ancients instead of being normal (if not general) flavors, were instead associated with the 5 tastes, that being sweet, sour, salty, bitter and savory/umami?

(I thought spicy was one of them, but from what I’m told no)

I dunno, I think that would have been a neat idea, given they’re all food

Though I suppose the concept could also work for deities of the world, if the Legendaries don’t count as them

#cookie run #cookie run kingdom #ancient cookies #I mean Dark Cacao already has bitterness and I’m pretty sure Hollyberry has sweetness #but still it would have been an interesting central theme #not sure how you’d tie Dark Enchantress in though #random idea #random stuff

Just had a reverse “you think about your old writing through rose-colored glasses but when you go back to read it it’s kind of terrible” moment, I went back and read some of my pre-uni/pandemic writing fully expecting it to be terrible and was like “oh this is…pretty good actually?”

#there are certainly things I would fiddle with but not as horrific as I was anticipating. honestly I wrote so much faster back then #it was narnia fanfic btw #sadly probably never something I will ever go back to (even though my oc’s for it are very very beloved to me) as it was something me and #my ex-best friend were writing together and now she hasn’t talked to me for two years #it was also a bit sad to read because in some ways I’m not that girl who wrote that anymore. like I am and maybe in some ways I could get #her back but it’s been more than three years. that girl was dreamy and idealistic and was so happy to write something that might never be #published and now I still like to think I’m dreamy and idealistic but I’ve become so bitter and I don’t like it and writing is so much #harder (you think studying for a degree in it would help but it has the opposite effect) #and I don’t really have anyone to talk to about my writing irl anymore and I think part of the problem is that it’s all bottled up inside #and can go nowhere but the page (and that’s so much pressure!) #anyway ignore my tag rambling #maybe I’ll incorporate those narnia oc’s into something else because I really did pour so much into them #it seems a shame to let them die

Which Symbolic Fruit Are You?

Kakavasha~

Clementine

In Chinese culture , clementines , known for their bright orange , waxy exterior , were symbolic of gold , & by extension , wealth , good fortune & abundance . Trees that bear clementines ( or mandarins , as they're also known as ) are often used to decorate the thresholds of Chinese households as a sign of good luck & prosperity .

As lucky as Clementines may be , so are you & those around you . With a sunny disposition , & a knack for seeing the best in everyone , & the good in the world around you , you’re someone who believes that the glass is always half full . Things can always be worse , & they will always get better , one way or another ! Like the vibrant clementines , you're known for bringing light to those who need it , & always bringing laughter to your friend group . However , such a bright exterior can sometimes hide a deep & lingering sadness . Remember : even the light sometimes has to dim , & even the sun has to set . Don't worry ; it'll always come back .

Aventurine~

Pomegranate

The pomegranate is most famously attributed to the Greek goddess , Persephone . Though versions of the story differ : with some of them saying that Persephone was tricked into eating the pomegranate seeds , in order for her to become trapped in the underworld , & some saying she willingly chose to eat the seeds .

Pomegranate's have a hard exterior that is tough to crack . Your hard shell is a natural protectant & keeps you safe from those that only wish to use you . Internally you are rich with bounties . You believe in living your life passionately & vibrantly . The idea of surrendering to a fate of being confined to anything , whether it be a relationship , a job , or family dynamic where you are not happy & lack agency is a terrifying prospect . It is fears like this which also prevent you from opening up & showing vulnerability to those around you . However , like the pomegranate whose seeds sparkle like gemstones , you hide inside you incredible beauty that only the most worthy deserve to see .

#Oh. Oh no. What have I done? Why did I ever think taking this for both would end well? #God this is so accurate though. #See: Kakavasha sneaking into Kalican territory to play GAMES with them in order to win back his mother’s necklace for his sister because it #was important to her even though they easily could have killed him & her understandably freaking out & saying in the end it’s just jewelry #but that HE is the most important thing their parents left behind. #See how sweet & friendly & optimistic the personification of Aven’s past was. #Versis how jaded & mean his future self was to him. #Aventurine with hope versus him after he’s been beaten down to the point he no longer tries to get back up. Because his life has been owned #by someone else for so long he doesn’t even feel like he counts as a PERSON half the time. #He puts his life on the line because why wouldn’t he? He’s just an asset. He has no friends or family or home to go back safely to. #But I headcanon strongly that his deeper hidden motivation - that not even he realizes - for going to Penacony is because he wanted a way #of being free from the IPC while still being loyal to them & dying would accomplish that. #‘Some say Persephone willingly chose to eat the seeds.’ #Kind of like Aventurine chose to become a Stoneheart. He ASKED Jade for a chance to prove himself. So he could live. #But doing that simply transferred his shackles of ownership from his previous master to the hands of the IPC. #Like Persephone. She got to escape her overbearing mother but the trade off for ‘freedom’ was being trapped in the Underworld. #Hell even Aventurine’s character descriptions say you never know how he really feels because he wears a MASK. #He’s always smiling & friendly. He barely stopped smiling even when Sunday basically gave him a slow acting lethal injection & tortured him #I’m so fucking sad at seeing how Aventurine went from being Kakavasha to so broken & bitter. #He literally views being exploited & exploiting others as the trade off he has to pay in exchange for living. #♣️ ⸻ ᴇxᴘʟᴏɪᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴ & ᴛʀᴇᴀᴄʜᴇʀʏ ᴀʀᴇ sɪᴍᴘʟʏ ᴛᴏᴏʟs ᴏғ ᴛʜᴇ ᴛʀᴀᴅᴇ ❮ ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀ sᴛᴜᴅʏ ❯ #♣️ ⸻ ᴇᴠᴇʀʏ ɴɪɢʜᴛ ɪ’ᴍ ʟɪᴠɪɴɢ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇ’s ɴᴏ ᴛᴏᴍᴏʀʀᴏᴡ ❮ ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴ ❯ #♣️ ⸻ ɪ’ᴠᴇ ɢᴏᴛ ᴍᴏʀᴇ sᴋᴇʟᴇᴛᴏɴs ᴛʜᴀɴ ᴄᴇᴍᴇᴛᴇʀɪᴇs ʜᴏʟᴅ‚ ᴛʜᴀᴛ ᴍᴀᴅᴇ ᴊᴜsᴛ ʟɪᴠɪɴɢ ʟɪғᴇ ғᴇᴇʟ ʟɪᴋᴇ ᴀ ғᴜɴᴇʀᴀʟ ❮ ᴘᴀsᴛ ❯ #♦️ ⸻ ɪ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴛᴜʀɴ ᴅᴏᴡɴ ᴀ ᴄʜᴀʟʟᴇɴɢᴇ ❮ ᴅᴀsʜ ɢᴀᴍᴇs ❯

I don’t actually know how to use tumblr anymore cos I haven’t used it properly since way back in the early 2010s but every other social media is just too overwhelming so I’m back here. Wanted to start fresh too and also I like that on tumblr you at least don’t have to lay out every single detail of your personal life

#can you tell I’m a slightly bitter ex twitter stan #anyway hello peeps! #feel free to message me or however it works here these days #is it still a rule that only the first 5 tags will actually show up in that tag #doctor who #just in case #even though it’ll be a popular tag so I’ll probably be lost in the swarm #but definitely say hi if you’re a dw fan especially if you like unit and big finish audios’ #personal ramblings

[iheartbookbran]

Honestly seeing all the new HOTD pictures is kinda surreal bc they actually make the show look cool? Like for starters just based on the pictures and few minutes of footage we have so far the costumes look ten times better than anything Clapton ever did in GOT, like… those costumes look like something rich medieval people would actually wear, and we even got variety and color??? And those trademarked silly GRRM’s helmets???? I can’t believe it.

I’ve also been reading the new article and some of the things they’ve added are also pretty neat, an tbh the source material is I think perfect for this kind of adaptation because it’s so flimsy and vague to start with the writers have a lot of leeway to tweak things and give more depth to the characters if they prove themselves to be talented enough to pull it off, which I think the audience will be able to make a judgement on that pretty quickly since the new writers won’t really have GRRM’s scenes and dialogue to fall back on the way D&D did, only the broad strokes of what happens in the story, but still a clear ending in sight (and given what happened with the original series, that’s a huge relief already).

And all of that leaves a sour taste in my mouth in what otherwise would be a show I would be excitedly looking forward to… mostly because of Dany, of course. And I don’t mean it in the sense of like, Rhaenyra “losing” at the end is equally as bad as what GOT did to Dany which is a take I’ve seen floating around an I don’t necessarily agree with. The Dance, the way I see it, is a conflict streaming out of sheer misogyny and what society would do in order to keep women out of power, and Rhaenyra is both a victim and a perpetrator of that, but the story is still very centered around the nobility and a commentary of what they would do to keep their status quo and power, no matter how they hurt the people who depend on them in the process. That’s like, the complete opposite of Daenerys “Why do the Gods make kings and queens if not to protect the ones who can't protect themselves?” Targaryen.

That’s the whole point of Dany imo, how much she cares and how she’s so willing to act in order to implement change and help those who need it, in spite of the repercussions that come with it. That doesn’t scream Rhaenyra to me (though I don’t know how the show is gonna flesh her out, and I’m curious to see Emma D'Arcy and how they work around to make the character more nuanced), but maybe that’s a topic for another post.

My point is that at the of the day, Dany is the original Targ, she is the most important Targ, the fact that there’s like 3 different Targ centered shows in development is only because of her, that’s her legacy, but still HBO didn’t care enough to prevent her character from being so utterly butchered. That’s the problem.

#do i have a point in writting all of this?? eh just that i’m still bitter about g*m* *f thr*n*s and will in fact die mad about it #i wanna make it clear that though i’ve got some criticism of rhaenrya as a person #SHE WAS STILL IN THE RIGHT #aegon the usurper and alicent were huge backstabbing assholes and she was the rightful heir. fight me #still i wouldn’t say she’s like dany #literally nobody is like dany she set the bar too high #and honestly as curious as i am about all these ‘successor shows’ as grrm calls them #ultimately dany’s still a presence hanging over all of them and specifically the targ-related ones #which lbr is gonna be the majority of them precisely *because* of dany #it’s like a never ending cycle #daenerys targaryen #rhaenyra targaryen #house targaryen #asoiaf #twoiaf #fire and blood #a song of ice and fire #house of the dragon #hotd #got #dracarys to d&d

also … that IS one of her greatest strengths. using criticism to better her craft and propel herself forward.

#and honestly it’s a more valid way of doing it than I’ve ever really given her credit for #I’ve always seen it with at least as much chagrin as affection #because it always seemed like unnecessary pain to me #like if she simply learned to care less and be less defensive she wouldn’t be so wounded #but actually as always there’s more purity and more worth to her process than I first assumed #(as always) #it’s for sure one of the more painful ways to live!!! but it demands so much of her #she lets it force her to rise above and dig deep. to push herself almost to the breaking point #and in whatever spirit she takes it (and she is allowed!) she uses it as feedback #and she’ll do the work to be better so thoroughly and exhaustively #and the results are beautiful!!!! #this is why she wears so well and only gets better with time #and why even though she was successful so fast there was this metallic bitterness to the first reaction to her #for her and other people #she wears sweeter because she DOES want to earn your trust and affection #and she will earn your respect!!!! #and that’s a quality so few pop stars (or tbh people) really have #ask me why so many fade and I’m still here!!!!!!

I THINK to celebrate s3 I’m going to try to finish the Mando boys video by then. Let’s see

eta: a very early preview from my WIP 😂

#I hope tumblr has fixed videos not showing up in the tags though I’m still bitter about my last couple videos

[dulcewrites]

whenever people asked me what I wanted to do post fmo, I always had this one idea that I never mentioned bc at the time the logistics seemed off

I was interested in doing a sort of fun play on the Princess and the Queen. But flipping it on its head and making it the Prince and the Queen. I’ve been in my ‘not explaining the dance fuck it Aegon is king’ bag. Essentially I would like taking elements from the novela and the show (specifically ep 6 of course) to sort emulate that tense dynamic between Alicent and Rhaenyra that I found interesting.

Idk something about Aegon marrying Aemond’s only friend and love growing up, leading to Aemond and oc essentially divorcing and making it everyone’s problem (ala rhaenicent) scratches an itch. I was watching an after the episode thing hbo does after every episode. I want to say it was Miguel who said it, or it could’ve been Ryan, but Rhaenyra and Alicent are basically having a terf war over viserys (on top of the other problems obvi). I could see that happening over Aegon

Aemond thinks oc is a scheming bitch (by account of thinking she left him in the dust to be queen), oc thinks Aemond would do anything to undermine his brother’s claim (bc she literally heard him complain about it growing up 💀). It’s pure paranoia and angst and sexual tension.

This would probably fall more into the book Aemond verse simply bc imo his support for Aegon is way more ambiguous than in the show. Yeah we get the kind of laughable ‘tis I who trains with the sword and reads so clearly I’d rock as king’ speech but effectively he falls in line after.

ALSO the idea of an idealistic girl becoming jaded, and calculated as a means of survival and out of pain oouuu you guys know I love that. Sansa and Alicent are my girls for a reason. Oc having to put on a brave face and pretend this is what she wanted now that she has it, bc if she doesn’t… what was it all for? The enduring, the suffering, not having her best friend. She has to win the metaphorical staring contest bc if she flinched.. then what. What does she have outside of this now

Anyway… this was random. Just wanted to throw this out lol

#I originally had it being Helaena (I still want to write for her so y’all have ideas send them my way 🫶🏽) #though I’m not adverse to writing ooc.. Helaena would just not care about the crown like that 💀💀 #but then again oc’s paranoia could be less about her place and more just gay panic #hmmm #idk I need someone bitter enough to actual spar politically with my oc and while I think Helaena could it bought to that point #she seems like more of a character who would do it out of necessity than spite (like Aemond could) #has this already been written before?? eh kind of don’t care bc I’m built differnt 😎 #I said unnerved reader was dream girl evil coded #no THIS oc is the dream girl evil
