#Theres also just some weird stuff

[camelspit]

I heard you’re reading the graceling series? Which one are you on and do you like them? I’m on winterkeep (when I eventually get to it)

Im on winterkeep as well! Tbh im not entirely sure how I feel. They just seem really... long? For not much happening. Bitterblues def been my favorite so far! :)

#Theres also just some weird stuff #Like in fire the king idk his name and mila #Why. Why did the author do that. #And i think the series is heading towards a giddon/bitterblue relationship with i dont like too much either #Hes like 8 years older than her and it just feels more like a sibling dynamic ya know? #There are some things i like though!! #Katsa and po are very fun #Absolutely unhinged couple in the best way possible #And saf my beloved <3 complete loser #Love that his grace was slightly hyped up to be some big reveal and then it was like 'lol he can give good dreams' #My least favorite book has def been fire #For one i just. Didnt care much about any of the characters #And after about 300 pages fires problems just became a bit repetitive? If you get what i mean #It got interesting in the last few chapters #But that thing did not have to be like 600 pages #Ig it didnt help that my hopes were high for it #Everything i saw online was like 'omg fire absolitely ripped my heart out' and 'better than the first book' #And maybe its just me but i just? Didnt have much of a reaction to it? #Anyway i would love to know your thoughts on the series! #Im about 60 pages into winterkeep and its fun so far

totally normal guy thats never had anything weird happen to them

#artists on tumblr #digital art #fanart #mcyt #hermitcraft #joe hills #time taken: like almost three fucking hours #normally its clean-lined colored and shaded drawings that take 3ish hours but this one involved A Pose and i was designing as i went #my pearl design took 5 hours to draw because i was planning as i went lol #i dont know what the blue is. its not supposed to be frostbite but it kind of looks like i was trying to draw frostbite #i finished this drawing without any of teh blue and didnt like how it looked so i added just Some Weird Stuff with no specific goal #thats also why theres blood on his shoes lol it just felt correct. genuienly no 'dark' reason i just wnated it #id in alt

i have a personal hc i never really share where mira is some manner of chronically ill. it fuels how she feels incapable of her task, how she doesnt feel like euphrasie made the right choice by blessing her. shes not strong enough, shes not good enough, how could someone like her save the world?

being chronically ill is being forced to be stagnant. and even if she loves who she is without changing, she still feels unworthy.

#in stars and time #in stars and time spoilers #isat #isat spoilers #mirabelle isat #im not sure if im articulating this well??? #its like. obviously a lot of this is internalized stuff. her guilt and fear. but its also like. theres some truth? #like with how she doesnt like romance but still feels pressure to it. #theres not enough craft in the world that could change this fact about her. and it makes her feel useless and broken. #but she also... loves herself? and its been a part of her for so long that she cant imagine it not being there? as weird as that is. #i dunno!!! i just like to make characters i like chronically ill or otherwise disabled!

another amy and shipping related thing that annoys me is when people (mostly sonamy and shadamy fans from what ive seen) act like sonic is somehow in the wrong for not wanting to date amy. like saying he's immature or mean as if he's required to date her just because she likes him regardless of his own feelings on the matter

#''sonic is so MEAN for turning down amys romantic advances'' THEYRE LITERALLY NOT A COUPLE ???? #why should he be required to play along with that stuff if hes not interested? #amy isnt wrong or a bad person for liking sonic but shes not entitled to his love either hes allowed to turn her down #ALSO WHEN PEOPLE SAY SONIC IS LEADING HER ON. NO HES NOT ????? #if anything hes doing the exact opposite of leading her on. unless you think just being NICE to her and being her friend counts as that ??? #some of you have some really weird ideas about romance and relationships. my god #theres nothing wrong with being uninterested in a specific person. theres nothing wrong with being uninterested in romance as a whole #to be clear i dont hate amy i love amy. people just have awful takes about her in the shipping department

#ippiki au #mizuki akiyama #ena shinonome #w1f1 draws #just wanted to fully solidify mizuenas designs for the au......... #they only make a very brief appearance in the fic but im not consistent trying to draw them here so i wanted to finally nail that down #mizuki is a deer but the hybridization causes some weird things which is why theyve still got some fawn spots but are growing antlers #one of their antlers broke and they havent shed their antlers to start growing a new one yet #(but also out of universe its a nod to hermit mizuki) #ena is a mountain lion and theres nothing too interesting about her design otherwise #since akito and ena are created hybrids theyre not the same animal but they are still siblings #weird au stuff etc etc whatever

The true old man fucker behavior is simping over historical figures

#fernando alonso this mark webber that 🥱🙄 #arthur wellesley 1st duke of wellington 😍😍😍 #im so sorry #i just have these weird moments when im in a museum or when im looking at Wikipedia #and im looking at some historical figure like 'why he kinda 😳' #you guys know my weird obsession with napoleon i digress #i wanted to see who was on the other side for Waterloo bcs au ideas and all that #and why he kinda 🫣🫣🫣 #also Napoleon II was kinda a twink hehehe #and pls tell me why i was reading Napoleon's wikipedia and kinda being 🤭 over him #ngl in the personality/image section of his wikipedia theres a lot of nando coded stuff #such as: #surrounding himself with taller men that called him affectionate nicknames abt his height. okay. whore. #AND ALSO #'he had to win at everything he attempted' that is literally almost verbatim what nando said abt himself in his documentary #please someone stop me from making a quote comparison post about that #most normal behavior: saying fernando is napoleon coded #but seriously i think their personalities are not that different #in the au i think nando would be napoleon actually bcs of renault and bcs of the thematic similarities #would being in McHonda and then his retirement be being sent to Saint Helena? #....is Aston Martin the Waterloo before Elba....... #the parallels are paralleling! #just wanted to joke about my weirdness abt historical figures and then gave my thesis abt Napoleon = Fernando #i apologize(thats a lie) #catie.rambling.txt

A very silly continuation of my earlier Moony post as it's a full moon.

Feel less chompy soon remy <3

honourable mentions: @black-occamy @celestemagnoliathewriter @in-love-with-remus-lupin @moonysdora

#and all my other remadora mutuals <3 #moony #hp #hp fanart #remus lupin #my hand is getting better and I've been slowly chipping away at some stuff btw. still resting it up but yeah! #so remus IS scary in the traditional sense as Moony but I mean. It's remus. I love him but hes the most non threatening man in existence #man would take his potion then just nap or slink around sadly and huff with sad old dog eyes. #but also him keeping his mind and just spending several hours as a cyptid - if not for the tragedy and awfulness of it #- is actually pretty funny from an outsider pov. theres just this weird creature noodling around with eyes like saucers and greyhound vibes

#damn imagine if hui-jae was well written beyond like episode 7 or so. wouldnt that have been something. #just saying but if they had actually leaned into the parallels between these three instead of doing ... whatever weird comphet stuff we got #it couldve been so good!!!! or even if they had just let her keep her fun gender!! but no :( #im so glad hui-jae is busy being the occasional third in hwa-wol and mun-boks marriage while seonhwi raise goats in seo geoms village haha #anyway. enjoy yet another half assed post abt parallels and heartbreak in the parallels and heartbreak show <3 #also do urself a favour and check out the whole poem hanif abdurraqibs writing is insane #my country: the new age #mctna #han hui-jae #nam seon-ho #seo hwi #caveweb #actually no i still have sth to say. like im not even mad that theres comphet im just angry its so bad like??? what was that #that wasnt even half assed that was like quarter assed at best #also the hui-jae / seon-ho axis is so tragically underused #like i respect that they just fully made them both hwisexual but couldnt we have at least gotten more than some crumbs #they went from vaguely friends to bitchy antagonists to i dont even think of u at all and thats honestly so lame #tension of a wet lettuce leaf. seon-ho was the one who made the first step towards friendship in ihwaru and he also warned her abt his dad #and wingmanned hwi (took hui-jae to see hwi kick ass) like in the beginning he was the one w the people skills! #and u are telling me apart from one extremely unbelievable attempt at a love triangle w the 'last drink' scene u never did anything w them? #like so much of my grief w this show hinges on the fact that there shouldve been more Good Times before everything went to shit #to make it hit harder bc imagine the beef if seon-ho and hui-jae had been actually good friends before he betrayed hwi #them seeing each other at court as the king and queens respective confidantes wouldve been so much better like !!! #wait actually i need to stop here i can feel myself getting hangry i need to eat lunch but imagine. imagine #the good timeline where hwi just got to be fully bisexual and there were more divorce flavours than just hwi/seon-ho and hwi/bang-won... #solarpunk_future.jpeg #nam seon ho #han hui jae #<- thats just bc i never fucking know what the consensus on the romanization of everyones names is #i personally go w the hyphenated method but lots of ppl write each syllable separate and ive seen the kpop variant (written tgt) used too

Update on the really old GT book I've been reading,

For some reason, it keeps implying that a tiny being in a giants hands is "silly" and "babyish" and "humiliating" and I don't know if I should be offended or feel called out.

#the book is call “mistress Mashams repose” if your interested #its from 1947 #its about lilliputians living on a small island and being discovered by a ten year old girl #im on chapter 11 rn and its been pretty good so far #theres some weird (racist) stuff about native Americans in the beginning #which is weird because the book takes places and was written in great Britain and doesn't have any native American characters at all #i guess its just a consequence of being a children's book from 1947 smh #it also has pretty good gt dispite the tinys being 5 to 6 inches tall #normal tags now #g/t #gt community #g/t community #giant/tiny #sfw g/t #giant tiny #g/t writing #gt writing #borrowers #liliputians #old literature

sometimes researching for avatar redesigns has you 6 layers deep into the Japan's Meiji era allies wiki

#im trying to mess with some of the stuff that feels weird about the ways the fire nation is depicted idk #like i do not feel optically it is good for like them to be so heavily based on japan's imperialist actions #while dressed in clothes that come from places japan colonized #but i dont want it to just be solely japanese though i did draw zuko and azula in hakama but its largely cause i wanted to draw hakama #and like the only place with strong japanese influence being kiyoshi island and my own frustration with the modern day samurai depiction #i think fundamentally it isnt a choice that had as much thought as i am putting in put into it but it does raise an eyebrow for me #anyway i think keeping the thai influence is fine despite the brief invasion japan had into thailand due to thailand then allying with japa #and further allying with the axis due to allying with japan #ugh and ive been told not to think this much about it because its fiction but its also fiction so so so heavily based on real places #and when you base fiction on real cultures you fall into some unintentional pitfalls #i also fucking hate the royal fire nation robes they look so meh and the most costumey out of everything in the show #they look like heavy blankets despite being a supposedly hot nation #theres ways to have heavy robes (heian era japan) but they look like i make them out of fleece and velvet blankets #back to kiyoshi island i think the really only aesthetically japanese reference in the show being an island of noble warriors is lame #plus over done #it feels like nowadays theres a lot of people who get all whiney about people saying fire nation is based off japan #but like dude the creators in the comics and korra like go even more into the japanese influence and clearly it was the original intentions #also i do think you could do some pretty interesting world building by having say there be an older cultural influence on kiyoshi island #from the fire nation especially if the place is established as a central port area then you tie in some okinawan or even hawaiian reference #and gives an explanation that makes sense to why kiyoshi stands out from the rest of the earth kingdom you have long term cultural trading #and it establishes interesting relationships even pre kiyoshi time thereby drawing back onto some real historic references #cause for awhile ryukyu china and japan used to be this trading triangle which could explain some of these various influences going on #i think you can get a really interesting harmony when you create the fire nation out of a mix of japan and thailand #i mean both have these floating buildings due to living on some pretty wet lands and theres harmony in that mix #god i did see one person go like “fire nation is more based on china because theres a lot of red and red is important in china” #my brother in christ red is also important in japan #red is important in like many many asian cultures #i mean of course a lot of that importance stems from china and cultural exchange with china but idk kinda silly to say with your whole ches #like if you want to bring china in then the dragons are the biggest thing like sure some mythos has dragons in japan #but a lot of those comes from china in some way

sometimes i cant help but think about the enemy pokemon u find in mystery dungeons and the in-universe reasons for why theyre Like That. like. i know we have a bunch of examples in each game for pokemon that attack u for various reasons (misunderstandings, guarding something, gone berserk from outside influence, just an asshole, etc) but whats going on with the hundreds of mons that spawn INSIDE the mystery dungeons. like those things are already weird even though theyre well known by most residents and they appear pretty much anywhere but theres tons of pokemon that straight up live in those places. and while some have good reason to wander and attack intruders there, some are just. why. why are there Enemy Pokemon in a Mystery Dungeon next to a School. who are you people.

#and like . ok pmd1 mons are influenced by the natural disasters pmd2 are influenced by time pmd3 by despair and pmd4 by. despair again ? #but theyre still like. sentient. right. #also the fact that there are canonically criminals in the pmd world but wheres the line between that and residents of a mystery dungeon #closest thing i can think of that vaguely answers any of this is the spiritomb from the dark future but even thats an extreme AND rare case #it feels like a weird cross between animals just being animals in nature and then. society and everything that comes w that #why are there even cops in pmd anyway.. #more importantly why is there a mystery dungeon next to the school. was it already there when they built the school #or did they somehow generate one???????? theres no way right #why did they think that was a good idea. mystery dungeons are famously dangerous and these mons are like yknow whatd be great #what if we took a bunch of 10 year olds (maximum.) and let them explore one of the most dangerous things known to monkind #yeah thatll be a nice fun learning experience . #< psmd is so goddamn weird (i love it tho i swear) #i would love to know what mystery dungeons would be like without all the game mechanics..... #some of them wouldnt have floors necessarily like the forests n stuff but some would.. the ever-changing layout still applies tho.. #would traps be a thing. or random items just laying around #would kecleon shops even exist inside dungeons realistically. i feel like thatd be awful for business #no no going back to the fuckin school thing. theres literal groups OFFICIAL groups of pokemon made specifically to traverse the dungeons #like most pokemon dont casually wander around those things unless they live there. so why on earth is there one for the SCHOOL #pmd

I think every social media website should have an effective tagging system, just my thoughts

#clemramble #i want to post some more of my art on twt but i also want to tag it effectively but idk how the tagging system works on there #since hashtags seem to do very little on there #if theres one thing tumblr has done right its the tagging system . this is awesome i love putting things in tags like its me whispering #directly into your ear extra info that you really didnt need to know #and also the ability to mute hashtags is awesome. even if it doesnt completely hide it #twt is so weird in its hidden words. i have so much stuff blocked on there but the moment it gets popular the system just #doesnt work and im stuck seeing it all again. very annoying. #anyways yeah this is also a call if any one knows how the muting system on twt works and how i should best tag my stuff.please share #your wisdom. if you dont mind. i asked on twt but my regular posts kind of flop if its not art. not that i mind but the point remains #..i had thought about making another account just dedicated to like ship stuff on twt bc i have enough stuff to do that but #would it be unnecessary? idk . ignore this part sorry im rambling outloud to myself virtually through tags #i might just end up not posting it there. its like a little tumblr exclusive #im not even scared anymore ive bossed up. twt just makes me feel awkward now. its like when you enter a giant classroom and theres no empty #seats so youre forced to go up and down the isles trying to find a spot that open

sorry idk how to properly explain what i mean right now but i cannot stand it when people say stuff about sonic and amy that implies that sonic is in the wrong for not liking amy that way or that amy is entitled to a romantic relationship with sonic. literally what are you talking about

#i especially hate the idea people have that sonic is immature or childish for not wanting to date her #not being romantically interested in somebody isnt immature !! not being interested in dating at all isnt immature !! #just because somebody likes you doesnt mean you have to go along with it youre allowed to not be interested #what is wrong with you guys #and then theres also the ''sonic should be nicer to amy'' stuff which is just weird because hes already nice to her #all hes ever done is be uncomfortable with her romantic advances on him back when she was more obvious about her crush #and hes allowed to feel that way hes allowed to tell her no and have boundaries and shit they are literally not a couple #to be clear i do not hate amy i love amy i just think some people are very annoying about her relationship with sonic

i need to get a pair of wired headphones for my laptop.... i love my nc earbuds but They Dont Like My Laptop

#i dont htink they really WANT you to connect them to more than one device. its annoying to switch between my phone and laptop #and theres a weird amount of audio problems when i use them. mostly audio Not Playing in lethal company atm. for some reason #bluetooth is convenient for my phone since i mostly use them at work. but. kinda poopoodoodoo. for my computer #bri talks #anyway any recommendations for like. decent-to-good wired headphones are appreciated. i dont shop for this stuff often #just needs to also have a mic since id mostly just be using it for discord calls

every time i so much as think about that scene where light looks at porn magazines while scowling i go into hysterics its genuinely the funniest thing i've ever seen

#the funniest thing is is that i truly believe he thought he was being 100% convincing. that that's normal behavior for a completely straight #completely allosexual man #light is fucking awful and i hate him but also there's nuance to him. and sometimes i can get a little like. oh thinking about his life #before the series. specifically factoring in my headcanons about him being gay aroace and autistic and stuff. ppl have written some rlly #good fics surrounding those topics.... but yeah thats not even canon stuff but i dont care #anyways its not in a way of making excuses for how he is i just think it adds more to his character #hes total garbage but i think theres really interesting stuff with him when it comes to how he's.... VERY disconnected from others #just in general. he's like aware of how to act ''normal'' on like the most textbook surface level without being like. Aware enough to #be able to make it more convincing. and as ridiculous as it is i do see some of myself in him in that sense #also that person who said light and L is just autistic guy who's been masking his entire life vs autistic guy who's never masked in his #entire life. LITERALLY EXACTLY. genuinely perfect way to describe them they are both so similar when it comes to this #but the ways they go about it are very different. light has been playing the part of the perfect son his whole life. L doesnt try to change #himself for anyone and doesnt care when people think hes weird. both of them arent very socially aware and havent had any real friends #their whole lives. its such a fascinating parallel between them #i could go on a whole fucking thing about how light was pretending to be someone he's not around his family and at school and everything #long before he got the death note BUT. i wont. at least not right now #jesus christ how did i go from laughing about him with the magazine to this. my bad #derailed my own damn post. idk swagever #will say rq tho. watched a vid on youtube that pointed out how light expected his family to think nothing of the fact that he's gone to #such drastic measures to hide his diary when making the plan with hiding the death note which is like #that level of dedication would NOT be normal. so the fact that light expects his family to think nothing of it...... #i mean you could read that as light just once again being socially unaware. but it could also imply that light's family kind of Knows #he's hiding something and just doesn't address it. (he's gay. im talking about him being gay) #the video also referenced this comic that i didnt rb cause the actual premise of it (lawlight wedding) is um. #not at all my kind of thing. BUT it was light describing himself as a house with a basement when his family sees him as a one story house #and i thought that was such a cool analogy #ANYWAYYYSSSS i need to go to bed. thanks if you read my ramblings #serena.txt #death note posting
