hiiii haha. hello. exceptionally awkward introduction bc idrk how to start something like this so let's just jump right in. im taking a break from this account for a bit. i know i said i wanted taob out before halloween and currently im fine sticking with that deadline, but if i decide i need longer away then i will take longer away. every time ive reassured people that id never abandon a fic and updates will always come eventually i never once considered that my writing and ability to feel safe and comfortable on this site would be actively taken from me, so im not even going to apologise. i dont want this either and more importantly i dont fucking deserve it. i dont know what it is in the past year, if ive hit a certain amount of followers or 'popularity' that's made it so the natural ratio of positive to negative interactions must in turn go up, but there's been a serious uptick in weird asks for me. the annoying part is that a very small amount of them are actually objectively mean and hateful, the rest are just weird and invasive from people who seemingly dont realise that's what they're being. ive reached a point where i dont care if the intentions are good. it's not my job as a 20 year old tumblr user of all things to defend the morality of someone who couldnt even bother to come off anon. unfortunately, after blocking only one or two anons, the weird asks have decreased substantially, which says all you need to know about the fascinating and exhilarating lives led by these people, but ive also gone on to turn anon asks off entirely. this is something i actively fought against doing and had to be pushed into by my mutuals (who have been the coolest people on planet earth during this entire thing). turning off anon was a big deal to me even if it sounds silly. i felt betrayed and like id been backed into a corner because it was so vehmently something i DIDNT WANT that to feel like i had to do it anyway for my own mental health??? that sucks. so even though ive 'fixed' the problem, im still kind of reeling and uncomfortable every time i come on tumblr. i hope it's just something i need time to ease because i'll truly be devastated if this becomes 'ruined' for me. tumblr exists as the only place in the world where i am honestly every facet of myself without shame or hesitation; losing that would be insanely harmful to me. and to the people who cant appeal to the actual human behind the post, let me put that in words you can understand: we wouldn't get any more writing 😦😦😦 riots and fires and sirens, i know. so yeah. to anyone who has sent me an anon ask and you're now wondering if you were part of the problem, im firmly of the belief that you'll know if you are. when i say 'weird asks' i dont mean 'you sent me a para about your personal life just to vent or ask for advice' or 'you sent me a really deep emotional compliment about the impact me and/or my writing has had on you' - i love asks like that, so much that i put off taking a break and turning off anon solely for the joy they bring me. im sorry that it might feel like you're being punished too bc of the actions of what in reality is a HANDFUL of weird people, but this is what i feel like i have to do to feel safe and not go insane every time i log in. love you guys, hopefully ill see you soon x

#seriously another shout out to my mutuals #id particularly like to say thank you to boom who's always right there for me no matter what's happening or how insane im being #and also everyone in our little discord that wound up having to make a whole new channel for venting #bc i was there so often like 'today's weird ask isssss.... telling me about my cupsize!! rip them to shreds!!!' #hannah and theo especially being there and pushing me to finally turn off anon. war is truly over #and of course rori bc the shamelessness u show when hating on my anon asks has been genuinely really cathartic #sometimes u really do just need a rottweiler mutual to tell random people online to kill themselves 😭 #okay weird oscar acceptance speechcore gratitude over. i do just rlly love my mutuals #like i went three years not telling anyone about the worse side of internet popularity for fear of looking spoiled and ungrateful #so for the first time to open up about it and be met with outrage on my behalf and people saying in fact it's MORE fucked up #than i initially realised bc ive grown desensitised to it is. yeah cathartic i guess #they are singlehandedly reassuring me of the good this cursed app still holds #so everyone thank them and send them flowers NOW #okay im done i think. see you guys soon. i truly do want to come back asap bc like i said i NEVER EVEN WANTED TO FUCKING LEAVE #SOME ASSHOLES JUST HAD TO PUT GRENADES ON WHAT I ASSUMED WERE VERY UNIVERSAL AND OBVIOUS BOUNDARIES #if you're reading this like 'ohhh fuck i defo sent something invasive lately. i thought it was a joke/we were friends' #then 1) we arent friends if you're on anon. it immediately creates a power imbalance where you know me and any necessary context #but i have no idea who you are or how much you know about me. that's already a fucked dynamic #and 2) I HOPE YOU FEEL BAD. LIKE GENUINELY I HOPE YOU FEEL AWFUL AND HAVE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT YOURSELF #okay i think that's all. ta-ra lads??? how tf do u end something like this #ive queued this to reblog a couple more times throughout the day

I’d have to imagine that both Ryan and Min-Gi grew up poor, the Akagis being a big family that struggles to accommodate for 5 children, the Parks being first generation immigrants who struggled to find jobs in a mostly white country. Ryan was the kind of kid who would feel frustration with his financial situation, but he learned to work with what he had and not complain because it’s not like him being upset would fix anything, right? Then Min-Gi had the bulk of the burden thrust onto him because he was at a greater advantage than he parents, being a born Canadian citizen and all. He was made to work himself to the bone to not only be independent for himself, but to help his family too. He carried the stress of his family on his back his entire life, so allowing himself to be selfish and pursue his own happiness over financial stability is something he’s just not allowed to think of at all. Meanwhile Ryan, while not financially stable, still can feel more at ease about taking the leap of faith because he’s never had to be the sole provider for his family. He’s allowed to be the disappointing son, he’s expected to be, and while he’s definitely not okay with that, it definitely explains why he isn’t looking at running away with the same fear that Min-Gi is

#infinity train #min gi park #ryan akagi #rymin #im not even sure what words im saying actually i just wanna talk about the lads #when theyre on the road and living the van life i think ryan would just kinda be very used to that lifestyle of instability #and i think something i see that people do wrong is they portray min as like. someone who isnt familiar with the financial instability #when in reality its more that hes unused to being okay with it #because its something hes not allowed to have for himself its always been his responsibility to make all the money and be stable #so yeah it kinda irks me when people get that little thing wrong

been Thinking about warden mahariel going on the search for a cure to the Calling

every warden/origin is going for their friends, their found family, their lover, etc but a Mahariel is also going for themselves. Yes the others are too but for Mahariel there’s a different kind of selfishness behind it— because they were tainted. They know what it’s like. They know what awaits a warden going to their calling better than anyone else. Mahariel is searching for a cure for their own sake as much as any other reason.

Mahariel, who was on the edge of death and madness, the taint this close to taking them. Mahariel, who lived only by sheer chance of Duncan being there to recruit them. Mahariel, who watched the taint take Tamlen and destroy their closest clan mate. Mahariel, who didn’t just go through all the horrors of the darkspawn and the archdemon and the broodmothers, but who had also been tainted and stared corruption straight in the face, balanced on a ledge a hairsbreadth away from it.

Mahariel is looking for a cure to the calling because they’re fucking terrified.

#started thinking about this last night and it’s been simmering in my brain for like a day and a half now #and im going feral thinking about it #this post will probs get lost in the da dreadwolf buzz going on rn but maybe someone will share my brain rot #let this thought infect you and fuck you up #because it’s Tragic Wardens time over here lads #okay to reblog #dragon age #dragon age origins #mahariel #dragon age meta #warden mahariel #the warden #da #da:o #penthesilea mahariel #Cassie rambles

[captainmera]

Hey Mera I wanted to ask a question about IBWR. Don't know if you've answered this before but what helped inspired the designs for theo and oliver? Like the clothes they wear and their actual physical looks

*gasp!* Thank you for asking!

So a lot of thought actually went into these two goobers hahaha! But mostly, it has been about duality/opposites.

BODY TYPES:

Theodore: He's wealthy and doesn't have to walk far distances. He also enjoys the typical upper-class foods that were popular at the time. Which were rich in carb and protein. So he's chubby! :)

Not only does this softness reflect his wealth and comfortable lifestyle, it also reflects that he, as a person, is soft.

He may dress smartly and use fashion to present himself as both sleeker and fitter than he is. His personality is a pretence hyper masculinity (like his suits) to cover up how gentile and somewhat flamboyant he actually is.

Side note: I am actually rather bad at drawing chub without it looking like stiff muscle mass. I'm still working on that.

Theodore likes how he looks, he is confident and carries himself like a born gentleman with something to prove. Chest out and chin high.

His curly blonde hair and green eyes and Cheshire grin are all family traits of the Ashdown family. It makes them look more like witches, with curly flirtish hair, deep mystic eyes and smiles that lie the way you'll like it. Witches are hard to resist, but nobody likes them. They bask in sin, and who doesn't want to be tempted now and then?

Oliver: He's poor, he doesn't eat very well, he's active and practically runs everywhere. He's skinny to a fault, he exerts more energy than he consumes. This is not healthy. He works out, he climbs buildings and gets into trouble and he knows how to fight (cus he had to). He is fit. Now, he may look chiseled like an adonis statue, but this is not strength. He is just low on body fat. He is tired a lot for a reason.

He is muscular looking, but his strengths are in being able to outlast and run. He can fight, sure, but he prefers to just run.

His blue eyes... It's almost like he can see things that aren't there.. Blue like the past, blue like the veil. There are many cultures all over the world who associate blue eyes with the supernatural or something evil. If you want to know more about it I would direct you to look up the blue evil eye and superstitions about blue eyes. :)

His dark pointy hair is in stark contrast with Theodore's curly blonde.

Unlike Theodore, who unbashfully enjoys himself, Oliver cares very little about himself and can't really see what others see. It even makes him a bit nervous to talk about his looks due to a previous toxic relationship as well as some.. awful things. He has to be drunk to be physical.

FASHION:

and that's just pinterest---

listen okay I could be here all day.

But the gist of it is this:

Theodore: Rich bitch strut your stuff you bisexual idiot. He likes details and fashion and embroidery. He likes to sew and he likes to tailor his own things. Sewing is considered feminine if it's not your profession, especially if you're upper class. But Theodore, despite himself, sews and edits and wears what he's made. So any compliment he gets on his fit, or insult, he takes very personally. The guy has an ego that is just as much a mask as it is a genuine source of confidence. What he wears is an extension of himself, he wants to be free and fashion helps him express himself, both openly and in secret ways. He dress in codes. But every coat and jacket he has, has an inline pocket for his wand to carry around. Perfumes, rings, brooches, a cane, silken hats and beaver hats, gloves of every sort and-- look he got style and he's in with it.

Oliver: Good god baby please wear something else. He wears things he's bought second hand, his jacket is from 1872s (it's 1885 in the story), he rotates between five shirts and like.. three vests. One vest being sundays best. Basically, everything he owns is old or doesn't fit him. He rarely spends money on himself and he's oblivious (and too depressed) to know or care about his looks. The guy has no confidence and his opinion of himself is reflected on what he wears. Oliver's idea of dressing up a bit is to tie a nicer scarf around himself into a tie rather than the flimsy blue knot he does. Oliver always carry a small book and something to draw with. When he's out about in London he likes to perch upon things, or squat where he wont be bothered, and draw. He also stuff his inner pocket with dry lavender from work to mask the smell of dead from work. Unwittingly to him, it also helps keeping spirits from noticing him.

Now, wouldn't it be lovely if Theodore got to dress Oliver up. :) Y'know, just to give Oliver a glimpse of how he sees him.

it would prooooobably go something like this:

"Oh, no, no." Said Theodore and let his hand flutter about. "That's not what style is. That's just fashion. Now, STYLE, my dear..." He grinned and circled Oliver in the way that made Oliver anticipate a tickle. And there it was, the poke. "Style is something you carry in you. You got style, but you have no sense of fashion. I will bring you the fashion, and I promise you will see what I mean." "I doubt it." Oliver smiled faintly. "But if it will humour you." "Oh, you have no idea." So Oliver let him. It wasn't what he thought it would be; Theodore didn't throw things at him. He asked him to touch the materials of each garment in his wardrobe. Asked what colours he liked. He held up some ties next to his face to compare the shade with his tone, his eyes and hair. Some were discarded right away and others made Theodore delightfully ooh and aah. Oliver would be lying if he wasn't having a little bit fun. Theodore pinned in the waist of the trousers, no suspenders or buckles. "it will just wrinkle it." Theodore muttered. "There shan't be any wrinkles or creases on my watch. And, oh, your hair. Let me just- just a little." "Alright." Oliver chuckled and sat down to let Theodore do what he liked. Oliver, finally, stood dressed and looked down at himself. Everything fit him and the shoes were shiny, but he still couldn't see what Theodore meant. "I don't see it." "Well, you're not looking yet." Theodore brought to the mirror. And Oliver saw himself. He had to blink a few times, he didn't recognise himself. And as if his very soul slapped him in the back, Oliver stretched himself up proper, tilted his head and brushed a hand over his chest. "Do I.. Really look like that? You didn't put a hex or something on the mirror or..?" "No hex, just you. And yes, you really do look like that.. All the time in my eyes." And Oliver's lips twisted into a shy smile. "You jest." "Not about style." Theodore nudged. "Style is serious business." And grinned his iconic mischief smile.

do not read TLT it’s gonna lure you in with the funniest warmest most charming protagonist and then make her into the biggest tragedy you’ve ever seen

#guys i don't think i can stop thinking about gideon. i can't. i can't do it #she was so forgiving and so kind and so funny and now she is broken and sad and oh my god it hurts so bad #she is loved by so many people but she doesn't understand it because she thinks true love is being consumed #and it doesn't seem to be getting better my lads. tamsyn i am begging on hot coals to let gideon be happy for a bit i am begging you #tlt liveblog #nona the ninth spoilers #there is an emptiness with teeth where her heart used to be. bitch i am crying just remembering it #this is doomposting but i just realized tlt will probably not end happily and i am just. not okay #i see no way to solve all this happily how do you solve all this happily. you can't. so how will it end then. what will happen then.

Speaking of Mina/Lucy, it's interesting that when Lucy gets bitten she has very similar symptoms to the ones Jonathan will be displaying and Mina starts taking care of her like how she will of him, always by her side, being watchful, dressing/undressing her, protects her by going after the threat when she senses he bat Dracula, she takes the caretaker role with them both when they're disabled.

Now that's a point I actually hadn't considered, even though it relates perfectly to my whole opinion about Mina-As-Mother. Like, I literally talked about her caretaking of both of them, but never considered what that says about Mina's perception of them, just what it says about Mina's character.

Or what it says about Jonathan and Lucy as bitten victims who weren't 'baptised in blood' or whatever the phrase is.

Caretaking of a disabled friend or husband were, of course, seen as admirable feminine traits then, just as they often are now. Which, there's a lot happening in that statement, but it is a known phenomenon that when a loved one Gets Sick, the wife/mother is expected to destroy herself to caretake, and do so without complaint. In actual practice this tends to create horrible nested systems of abuse, but we're discussing a Manic Pixie Dream Girl here, so it's fine.

If anything, it's additional evidence that Mina is meant to be pretty self-evidently Good And Pure to make it more fucked up when she gets burnt by the wafer and shit goes to hell.

But to my more immediate interest, does this mean that if Lucy lived, she would also have turned All White and gotten super powers?

Because, like.

Just the visual of Lucy and Jonnycakes going from "haha Mina has a type and it's soft spoken but passionate femmes with The Consumption" to "HAHA MINA HAS A TYPE AND IT'S THE TWINS FROM FF14" like.

It's SO funny to me and I love it SO much.

Her and Jack coming back from IDK The Markets to find these magical waifs in the sitting room and being physically assaulted by the absurdity of it all (still hot tho).

finally finishing ballad of songbirds and snakes makes so many things in the original series borderline funny with how much sense they make now like OF COURSE snow didn’t believe katniss loved peeta enough to die with him and that it had to be an act of rebellion like sorry that’s outside of the realm of your life experience sir. 

#ballad of songbirds and snakes #ballad of songbirds and snakes spoilers #obviously there is more to it than that and i appreciate the nuance and complexity of these books but i did sigh a bit like. okay damn. #the one person he feels he's ever loved he wasn't actually willing to give up his life for #and the first sign of conflict he convinces himself that he should actually kill her instead like. #anyways. much to think about #snow is such an interesting character i hate him so much but enjoy this insight #i cant even talk about sejanus today lads i am: sad

you’re created with hands circling your wrists. there’s never any offense meant, you must understand - it’s simply that you’re a story, and someone’s come by this desperate need to learn how to let the hell go.

#the zone rpg #bakuspecial #:] hi. I think the game's in print now. so I can post this #heheheheh. total number came to six. very good number. very happy with the cards I did!! #gonna have to learn how to draw like this on a graphic tablet tho... no matter what the screen tablet was. bad. for my wrists #and my back too tbh. bowing over my lap to draw isnt great #but! my time with it has been beautiful. it was very good for my understanding art brain. its taught me a lot #I just need to. translate all that. to a different kinda kinetic scheme #well! that wont be a thing I think about too much for at least the next week. I am Out Of Da City Babeyy #okay. I go finish my drink. this place I am in slaps Ive already been swindled once #the coconut they sold me was good tho miles better than what we got out north. so I'll take it. for triple the price apparently #oh well! thats for the cab I refused to take. it all balances out #have a good day lads! check out the zone rpg! it owns! there's a free browser version if u wanna play!

[shivunin]

Also as I am writing this scene at the end of HLtA, I am picturing one of those fight scenes where the audio focuses briefly in on the breathing of the main character to the exclusion of everything else. Hawke says the "Tell Fenris I'm sorry" line and lifts her staff.

In place of the screaming and roaring and fighting, soft music begins to play in sharp contrast to the desperation on-screen. The rift closes behind her; there's no way back. For better or worse, she's stuck here---so why not make it good? One last performance, even though nobody will ever see this one. When she lifts her arms, flames fly from her like wings, just as numerous as the Nightmare's legs, and for just a moment she thinks she might still win---

Anyways, this is the song that's playing in my head:

#y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto; y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto #like with the book about her being named song of the champion??? #ahhh ouch #okay i am going to actually go write it right now #instead of making everyone else think about it #music #maria hawke #i really just wanted everyone to listen to this song #and imagine the music cutting out to her breathing hard #mortally wounded. she stands for a moment longer and the camera is close on her face #blood drips down her chin and she falls #this fic has a playlist now it's all over for me lads #dixeram #Spotify
