#Why do I always like the bad guys

[dyswarpia]

i can’t deny how hot vega is anymore this whole time i was like “he beat up caelum i hate him” but with every new instalment of the vega and warden series my morality is slipping away from me he is just so FINE….

#every time he calls warden darling i melt into a puddle #the evil laugh…. #lord have mercy #redacted audio #redacted asmr #why do i ALWAYS like the bad guys #redacted vega

I'm sick. Sick as fuck, to be precise. I have not been able to keep anything down for 3 days, I've been sleeping shit, and everything fucking hurts. So my capacity for emotional regulation is out to lunch. That in mind, be kind about this train wreck below.

I'm a little obsessed with Astarion (Baldur's Gate 3). Nothing unhealthy, I just read a lot of extra stuff about him that I don't for the other characters. Side note, he's, objectively, not a good person, but I'm championing him anyway. He's a broken little guy, and I am a broken girl; the only difference between us is I've had 7 years of therapy.

I'm watching some alternative dialogue options with Astarion on YouTube. Some of this shit cuts open scabs that I forgot were there.

Like there's a choice in ACT 2 you can make that kind of pressures him into doing something that he just told you makes him feel wretched...HOOO BOI, I need to go curl up in the shower for a bit

#I'm going to read this when I'm well and probably delete it #bg3 #abuse #power and control #recovery #ptsd #cptsd #sick #I don't know how you play durge #Or mean #some of those options are just so awful #emotional abuse #spousal abuse #recovery is not linear #astarion #Why do I always like the bad guys

Peryite is such an underrated daedric prince to me, conceptually. His sphere of influence has so much potential to explore. Like, disease and the natural order together? The way his followers see disease as a blessing? I love the implications there alone. He's the weakest prince, but his sphere has the potential to be so subtly destructive. One of his symbols, skeevers, represents that so well. The series has been kinda meh at exploring the princes philosophically but I feel like they are right on the cusp of something interesting with him, but since he isn't as flashy or obviously "bad" (or sexy) as the other ones he keeps getting put on the backburner. Gimme an interesting Peryite storyline pretty please. Explore things a little

#i saw a reddit comment saying that peryite/hircine/namira would be an interesting combo and i want it so so bad #like the 'natural order' trio. theyre all repulsive in some way but also sort of just a factor of life you cant fight against #i do not trust eso to do something interesting here though tbh. they use daedric princes a lot (too much) but it always just makes them #allies or bad guys and never really gets into their (or their followers) philosophy much #(from what ive seen so far) #mine #tes #the elder scrolls #peryite #relate him to the ecological role of disease or something idk #or if you want to go darker: population control or the way governments allow disease to affect those they want gone #actually get into the logic of why his followers follow him (although they rarely get into that for the other princes too so meh)

guess who finished tlok tonight and immediately had this come to him in a vision!!!!

#i. really like tlok. like a lot #i understand why people dont like it #and i can accept that OBJECTIVELY its not that great #but i had a fantastic time with it #anyways yeah. gay people #tbh. would not call zhu li and varrick normal. most queer straight couple on the planet. #hes a gay man. shes a lesbian. theyre in love. do you get it. #i dont have that many thoughts abt wuko. i really really like it though. #wu is like the webkinz milk cat to me. i need to throw him against a wall really hard. #and of course. korrasami. what is there to even say there #one thing i will say is before watching it i TOTALLY thought asami was a fire bender and also evil #like i kept thinking “yep this is when she turns evil and then theres enemies to lovers” but nope #not a bender or evil and honestly im glad #she totally wouldve been justified in becoming evil though. i sure wouldve #love her.so much #korra too ofc #i have SO MANY more thoughts but im gonna run out of space #last thing i will say is i am a guy who will just always prefer media i can criticize #love atla. but theres nothing there for me to really sink my teeth into or like bitch about #i love it when media is KIND OF BAD and i can RANT ANGRILLY about it #the legend of korra #tlok #legend of korra #korrasami #wuko #zhurrick #korra #asami sato #mako tlok #prince wu

#elisabeth das musical #and things that happened to me irl xD #i finally did thissss #it's so funny to do actually and it almost works like sort of therapy so why not #like wow i can finally talk about this and even draw related things without wanting to throw up immediately #for more context (yep again) i had severe depression years ago and at some point my brain was so fucked up by illness that #i started seeing [one of those guys i'm always talking about] literally as an embodiment of everything bad in my life #well HE WAS #but like i so strongly identified him with my depression that sometimes even doubted if he was a real person at all lmao #(YOU SEE WHY I'M DRAWING THIS) #he somehow managed to follow me everywhere which made things even more creepy. #and i kept coming back to him myself because i had no one else etc #so funny actually that he was literally JUST SOME GUY like not even interesting or anything #all this shit was just awful and gross that's all. #but when i realized i can make it look COOL by drawing stuff i felt so powerful ahsdijwhnu8 #like YES i texted him recently and he's just. boring as fuck. #so dumb to feel possessed by some evil entity for years and the said evil entity is just a random dude #SORRY my traumadumping is cringe af but thats the price you have to pay to see my drawings xDddd

[ducktracy]

Rewatched Book Revue and can feel the fanaticism I once (and still do!) held for it dripping back into my bloodstream as I find myself mindlessly redrawing poses from the model sheet in MS Paint

#i need you guys to understand that Danny Kaye Daffy was my Duck Twacy. in a way he is why i have my current icon. a screenshot #of him was my icon and December was approaching so i wanted to make it festive but poorly drawing a Santa suit on it yielded awful results #so i drew myself an icon very synonymous to this one. then redrew it the next year. then drew this one like 5 months after that to match th #style #i was doing studies of DANNY KAYE. THE PERSON. I MADE A BOOK REVUE THEMED PIECE FOR MY ART FINAL!!! #i've always loved it but got burnt out a bit because it was like every day obsessing and now i'm reminded why i was obsessed! #lt #looney tunes #daffy duck #not bad for a guy that never took a lesson in his life!

Imo Jason is “irredeemable” by default because I don’t see what he needs redemption from.

#I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but joining this fandom made me fucking hate the word ‘redemption’ #no person I’ve seen who is in love with the concept knows the who what where when why or how it should work in a story #apparently it isn’t just themes and tropes anymore people don’t understand the proper use of the word ‘villain’ #kelseethe #also hilarious: Jason should recieve sensitivity training HR style from Bruce ‘I’m the government and children are my cronies’ wayne #if Jasons headstrong/‘answers to no one’ attitude towards vigilantism is what makes people think he's villainous #I hate to be a broken record but the baddie you’re describing is Bruce #nobody thinks he’s a villain for only trusting in his own methods/self and repeatedly isolating himself #and on top of that gaslighting and hurting people around him in attempts to do what HE **thinks** is the right thing #you people always thought *him* heroic not problematic for all these traits #the only difference is Jason isn’t psychologically abusive & controlling #yet he’s still the bad guy just cause he liberally kills folks in the crime business. #l'd argue goth ham war is the b*tman story to remind you of everything that makes Bruce authentically himself #Idk how to tell you that Bruce mentally compromising/crippling his son in a twisted attempt to ‘save him from himself’ #is perfectly in line with slitting the same son’s throat because he couldn’t stand to see him avenge his own killer #and yk what a redemption arc could be interesting for someone like Bruce #because he rarely questions or doubts his choices esp wrt Jason. no matter how morally dubious they may be #I think it would be quite fun to witness his extremely restricted worldview be challenged/shattered he deserves that humbling experience

Tim never becoming robin but his parents still dying and him taking over Drake industries as a teenager which turns out to be actually very successful somehow and then uses that exclusively to fuck up lex luthors evil plans

“Oh, did you want that weapons contact? Turns out I made a deal with those guys last week, better luck next time!”

“Lex! You wanted to hire that tech specialist? I just set him up with a great job working on a project overseas, oh I can't quite remember where he's located now! Looks like it'll be a while until you can get in touch with him!”

“The company I just bought was producing an important machine piece for you? Unfortunately we had to discontinue that item due to some errors, you know how quality control can be.”

“Guess what! I just bought the rights to a very important type of laser technology and I'm suing everyone who uses it without permission! Just business, you understand!”

And of course lex tries to kill him but he keeps being saved just in time by various superheros (he probably has someone's personal cell number or an alarm he wired to go to oracle & the watchtower) 

Just civilian Tim doing mental warfare with lex and heros being like "stop antagonizing supervillains!!!!!" And Tim being like "what? I can't hear you over the sound of lex coming to kill me again because I outbid him for his security chief"

#tim drake #red robin #batman #without a secret identity in need of protecting tim fully commits to being a chaotic force as CEO #the heros are like WHY are you doing this #and Tim is like well I'm emotionally stunted and walking on the wire edge between bad decisions and dying makes me feel alive #the bats are like okay that's valid #and the rest of the JL is like 'NO!! ITS NOT!!' #personally I like Tim being rescued the most by the bats and core 4 (3?) YJ bc. Batfam and also core 4. Also timkon. Or timbart. #I don't ship Tim/Cassie but I love them being close friends who get sad and emotionally vulnerable together #Mostly bc I always think of them hardcore trauma bonding when Bart and Kon die #But tim casually calling heros civilian phone numbers like hi flash im in keystone rn and some guys beat me up and threw me in a trunk #I think they're gonna drive it into a river could u come pick me up #also I'm sure Tim could fuck with other villains too #I just was thinking abt how funny it is to have a teenage tim as CEO and being peers w lex bc of it #tim keeps copywriting symbols/color schemes Gotham villains #he buys some carnival grounds the joker likes and turns it into a water park instead #silly au where tim is kind of op #but in a fun way #dc

what if purple never calls him dad

#what if the word ‘dad’ is something purple doesn’t like. #what if it carries a bad connotation for them and a bitter reminder for mango. #family doesnt always have to look like one thing yknow? i dont think those two would have a traditional dynamic in that way #maybe purple does consider him their parent. they just dont call him ‘dad’ unless its in third person #and theyre fine with that and so is he #king is his father figure yes but he’s also a mom. a big brother. a sister. their dynamic just isnt captured in purple calling him ‘dad’ #maybe his name is the best way they can say it. the best way they can appreciate him #because for purple a father is someone who hurts you. someone who leaves you #i think ‘purple calls him dad on accident’ is a cute idea #but honestly it would make more sense if they called him mom on accident instead. or if it happened when they were afraid. not comfortable #(this is presuming orchid is his mother and navy his father based on the pronouns used in the react vids iirc) #because why would purple refer to someone he sees as a parent with the title of the one that presumably did not raise them? #and on mangos end #i think u can kinda tell who in this fandom has never lost a loved one in how they characterize him #guys. grief doesnt leave. it never leaves. #you just learn to live with it!!! #mango is not okay just because he has a new kid to take care of. i would know this my bio mom passed and i have a stepmother!!! #she does not fill that void and i do not expect her to because it cannot be filled. but she brings a lot new to ease the pain and is a #wonderful part of my life #the same thing here #mango will never ever just .. go back to how he was #he will never be the same since gold died. and thats okay #purple will not change that. they will merely add something new #their dynamic can be beautiful and nontraditional and a showing of how grief can change you #it doesnt have to be ‘replacement dad and replacement son’ #its so much more #oke. tag rant over #fett rambles #ava #uhh should i tag the chars

stranger things fandom never heard the phrase "every saint has a past and every sinner has a future" and it shows

#the way yall can NOT grasp the complexity of the human experience never ceases to baffle me #if you go around with the attitude of 'if you do anything wrong ever you will always be a Bad person even if you try to make ammends' it #will genuinely ruin your life #AND what kills me is yall tout yourselves as these open minded liberals who are anti cop anti justice system #we need to be more accepting !!! #until the SECOND a person you personally dont like starts acting up #and then the republican comes out REAL quick #the evangelical conservative bible thumper JUMPS out #you know how to be an open minded accepting person? #listen to the people you dont like #hear their stories #offer help #a good person does not only extent a hand to people they like #which... you all watch stranger things i understand why you dont get that message #cuz this is the show of 'the only good guys are the ones who think and act just like us' #so #i see what we're dealing with

tough pill i have to swallow is realizing that “getting better” doesn’t mean “getting to do more things,” getting better for me means taking better initiative in protecting myself. and THAT means making sure i do LESS things

#sounds kinda obvious but i only just realized it lmao #feels like i have to grieve a lot of my goals now but no one said the healing process would be easy #danbles #and for anyone else that has a disability that prevents them from doing smth #or trauma that makes certain triggers limit their opportunities #or neurotypes that make it harder for them to love smth like they used to #or whatever else #i don’t want to make it sound like you have to give up on the things that make you happy #I’M certainly not going to #but a huge value of mine has always been experiencing everything life had to offer #and everytime that backfires (whether it’s burnout; triggering a flashback; triggering an episode; putting strain on my body; etc) #i always just thought to myself ‘it was bad timing’ or ‘i haven’t gotten better yet’ bc the endgoal was to always get to that point where #i could experience it. i want to try new things all the time. i want to feel normal and be included in everything #but if smth keeps Making Me Feel Bad then maybe there isn’t a version of myself that can take it on #it’s not resilience to put yourself in harm’s way #idk how well i’ll be able to put this into practice tbh. i rly rly like exploring different experiences #even negative ones are valuable to me #but the least i can do for myself is recognize that i might not always be the problem #maybe i’ve already hit the limit on all the self-work i can do. maybe it’s the environment or situation itself that’s the problem #fuuck guys ​i feel like i’m going thru a stage of grief here why is this shit so hard 💀

sanji get behind me i’ll get you out of there oda stay away from him

#op watch #like idk to me the nosebleed gag feels so weird and ooc like it was only put in there because oda thought it was funny and also transphobic #sanji’s lovey gag i’ve always found pretty tame or funny he’s supposed to be a sweet guy not a fuckin weirdo like SOME MANGAKA I KNOW #‘he hasn’t seen a REAL WOMAN in 2 years that’s why he’s acting like that!’ shut up oda #how do you write a character perfect and then lose the plot so bad on them for like three arcs

I feel like I should be annoyed by the love triangle in Wednesday, but it's honestly hilarious to me.

"You're giving mixed signals," they whine to a girl that has only ever talked about her investigation. Not to mention Wednesday has negative body language and maybe two facial expressions on a good day. What the hell do they think they're seeing?? 😂

#wednesday netflix #they keep making it seem like she should feel bad for yanking them around #but honestly i keep expecting her to look directly into the camera like why tf do i have to deal with this #also bianca sitting in the back like why do guys always want the overtly violent anti social girls 😔 #like WHAT #can you even imagine 😂

why are the takes in this fandom so bad do you people even like what you’re watching actually are you even watching the show Where Are You Getting These Insane Person Takes

#ted lasso #im removing “being critical of your interests” from ted lasso fans bc im not convinced u guys are even watching #theres a difference between being critical of your interests (i am plenty critical of community!) and just unthinkingly taking everything #in bad faith and writing thesis essays on how problematic it is #almost always completely misunderstanding the story in the process #like “why did jack do this” “why did ted do this” “why did roy do this” THEY R COMPLEX CHARACTERS THATS WHY THEYRE WELL WRITTEN HOLY SHITTT #im sorry u cannot handle any nuance or complexity but please stop writimg fuckinf think pieces displaying it #rant #i do really like this fandom but this gets on my nerves so much
