#aka an optimist

[strawbubbysugar]

Oh gods I’m slightly scared to ask but um…has Moon smiled ONCE ever since the incident? Like It’s been a year… :(

Maybe smiling at a pretty night sky, or a part in a book or something?

He has not 😔

He called you starlight for a little while. Now the stars make his chest hurt.

He hasn’t had the chance to read since it happened. Every moment he’s managed to have for himself he has spent investigating the incident and looking over his shoulder.

He hasn’t been happy since it happened

#ask #bethroned #bethroned spoilers #Sun has been happy a few times #since it happened #but only because sun is the sort of person to ignore the bad things in favour of the good things #aka an optimist #while moon zeros in on the negatives until they’re handled and won’t see the positives until he feels he’s earned them

My fucgking puter died (it fell over and ripped out it's own motherboard 😔) so to celebrate I finally drew more Andromeda 5, this time P'andor and Galapagus :)

#p'andor #galapagus #andromeda 5 #ben 10 #fanart #good thing my drawing puter is a completely different computer (aka functionally an ipad surface pro that has that fucking ARM core) #which isn't a pc i use for games and other fun not-art activities because the surface can't do anything #tricked by false advertisement that can't even run the photoshop i was required to in uni so cringe #anyway enough of my complaining have a pessimist dear skeleton compromising with an optimist tortoise #galapagus is on a corruption arc speed run he just needs p'andor to tell him what apeshit means

hi pasta, loved the final raven chapters!

you said that you're thinking about writing a sequel - would that mean that we'd get to see jane and matt after they've come home?

cause i would be so interested to read that and seeing how they get to heal together <3 xx

Thank you SO SO MUCH! 🥰🥰🥰

I am, I've got a tentative outline I'm working on! Currently it's looking like it would explore a little of them in the hospital and then back at home as they both angstily struggle at first to heal from all the trauma they both have now before coming to the realization that sometimes true love doesn't always fix things by itself and you need to ask for More Help do absolutely fine, with snapshots of the next year or so as they work on healing (mirroring the snapshot method of the Raven fic). The good news is this one's looking like a full happy ending fic, like not TA DA rainbows but it ends on a really good, strong note for them both!

#I'm decently optimistic about the outline and the sequel #and the ending will be a more solidly happy one #because if the first fic was Dante's Inferno then these will hew closer to Purgatory and Paradise #aka it'll still be reallly dark for a bit cause DAMN they went through some pain #there'll be some REALLY rough points BUT they won't be rough points in a 'thinking of leaving way' but just a like... #dealing with trauma and rage and grief and brainwashing kinda way where you know they'll make it but it's sad still #and then eventually they'll start winding their way up #and back into the light

[custer-mp3]

anyway i may be stupid but at least i'm not "violating a restraining order by texting in-character as my dead grandma" stupid

#i should make a tag so i can bitch more thoroughly but alas #''trying to stay optimistic!!'' aka maybe if i just don't talk abt it it'll all magically resolve & i'll get better #& get my life back

anton: i’m not good with words

also anton: you deserve words. words as beautiful as you. words as wonderful as you make me feel everyday…. but, all i find inside myself instead is this. the beauty in just being at your side. feeling your touch. your warmth.

babes that was straight up poetry just, the way i MELTED (╥﹏╥)

#just fucking anton man #how is it that avior aka mister sad man got a nice fun hbs video and anton got straight ANGST #me being optimistic for anton thinking it was gonna be some gardening video NOPE THOUGHT WRONG #23 minutes of sad™️ #it’s all good tho the content was tasty and it’ll make his reunion with his listener even better 😍😍 #<— me choosing optimism instead of dread for the future of project meridian #redacted asmr #redacted audio #redacted anton

I'm still so mad that we got all those parallels and callbacks and yet no tedbecca. It was all for nothing. THEY WERE IN LOVE DAMMIT!!!!

Hi!

First, I hope all is well with you.

And this gif sums up my feels on that season of that one show:

🍻

#text me #reply #roamwithahungryheart #I want to apologize for being extremely bad at replying to your lovely asks #thank you for taking the time to ask/comment #This José Mourinho moment/gif was the first thing I sent a friend who I talked into watching TL with 3 free months on Apple #They caught up to watch S3 to see the last few episodes as they happened #This friend liked how it ended and I just had to send this gif and it is still how I feel #I mean in the end I'm to blame. I overanalyzed and was on a different path from the creators #I'm grateful for this show and how it showcased great new to me actors #I look forward to supporting them in their projects in the future #I'm a bit mad at this show for making me a little bit of an optimist #but this show helped me to quit my last job and to go back to school to now working in that field #S3 was meh aka just okay #I've considered the seasons as my favorite band and their albums. S1 is the album with no skips and the greatest of them all. #S2 is the album where they tried some edgy things some worked some didn't and I skipped 2 or 3 songs #S3 is well... I like only a handful of songs so a lot of skipping to get to the good stuff #Ted x Rebecca #100% they were in love!

pet peeve #296: "optimistic nihilism"

it's existentialism

words MEAN THINGS. and what you refer to when you say 'optimistic nihilism' is where nihilism actually stops and existentialism ollies in on its skateboard wearing the loudest sunglasses imaginable, sipping koolaide jammers.

#this has become a greater peeve with time #but it goes back to the root of 'WORDS MEAN THINGS' #it's sad because existentialism is so healthy #it's where i personally wound up by accident and then learned it was a labelled philosophy with a history and everything #after being clumsily introduced to not-at-all-it in highschool and then finding out what it really was in my early twenties #it's what anchors me and helps fight the... y'know the existential dread... aka: what it's designed for #it's sad to see it not being acknowledged for what it is but instead that credit #being foisted onto the babythought refusal-to-think-beyond-and-grow stunted philosophy of what it isn't #nihilism is true but boring and limited. self-content and satisfied. #optimistic-nihilism affords nihilism power it never wanted and doesn't have #power that doesn't have anything to do with it #ramblings #random number because i have zillions of peeves #existentialism

Thinks oh so hard abt the spiraling upwards clan founders, especially the birchclan founders. Silly lil kitties who's pasts are drenched in blood with the primary regret of not drawing it sooner

#rat rambles #oc posting #warriors posting #spiraling upwards #long story short they had a shitty awful terrible leader who sucked absolutely ass and they tore him to shreds #I mean that literally they pinned him onto the mountain side and slashed and mauled the shit out of him so hard that his lives evaporated #and several of the cats involved in that scene are sill alive and major parts of the story and I love them #oh also the cat that pinned him through a stab through the throat was his own daughter btw everyone hated his ass so much #and for good reason get his ass #alas in the main story I dont rly get to go too deep into how he harmed everyone involved mostly just three main ones #aka bristlestar because shes murtlepaw's ghost mom dawncrackle because hes also haunting murtle and gullspot because shes bristle's kit #so basically all the flashbacks we get involve those three in some form or another #honeystar was also there and involved but Im not currently planning on having her rly talk abt that #most of her more modern angst is the fact that she was forced into leadership against her will #and shes been alive long enough that shes been leading birchclan far longer than she ever lived in her old clan #but she did go through a lot of shit before birchclan was founded and it definitely shaped her a lot #she used to be a very determined and high spirited lil kitty cat who tried to be optimistic #but her family began to slowly be picked off one by one by both the old leader and the one whod later get evicerated #some of the older cats around her hoped it make her back down from her revelutionary ideas but she noticed that and it backfired on them #instead of being worn down to submission she became absolutely Furious and began to lash out more and become more demanding #it got to the point that she really only had two friends in the entire clan and one of them was her aunt whod later also die after coming #out abt having witnessed the leader killing his own kits #that was the final fucking straw for her and she was fully on board when bristle and dawn started looking for cats to join their rebellion #she did get rly frustrated with them as they waited patiently for the right moment but her remaining bestie kept her from going apeshit #so once the big fight finally broke out she was more than eager to join the hoard of cats chasing the bastard upwards #now unlike some of the other cats involved this legitimately actually made her feel a lot better for a while #for the first time in ages she finally felt like she could be optimistic abt smth again and was excited abt the idea of leaving this place #she had lost so much in this damn place since she was an apprentice and just wanted to finally be able to rest easy #but once they got to their new territory and set up camp things went south real fast as a flood fucked everything up #and after losing the only cat she had left in her life and losing her tail and being made deputy on top of that she deteriorated quickly

Thinking about makoto is so so so essential to plot of THH and the future of the rest of the series (even v3 to some extent) that if everything in sayaka’s plan went according to plan and she managed to pull a Tsumugi and get the main character killed, the game would honestly be over and then the rest of the series never happens. OR the game would at most last till chapter 5 because of Kyoko and then STOP because no one really cares after that after she dies.

#like no matter how much you try to switch who in THH becomes the protag these guys are just not cut out for it #the only person who I could see getting them to ATLEAST chapter 5 is Kyoko and maybe Byakuya #but then the train stops because with everyone having in alibi and no scape goat named Makoto. Kyoko is FUCKED. #and we all know Byakuya despite being intelligent isn’t going to look around the school for clues let’s be honest🧍🏾‍♀️ #so the four rot in that school till the day they die or Junko gets bored then kills them #also none of them have sheer optimism that man has in him #like you not going to sit here and tell me some like sayaka Leon or literally any of them have that capacity of either of those #(other than well Hina but that’s more on the optimistic side of things) #the second most optimistic person is hina yet even in chapter 6 she despaired too #you need someone who is naive yet strong in their optimism and puts a lot of faith in hope that things despite how bad situation is #will see the greener grass on the otherside and won’t let any doubts stop them from seeing that grass #the only other way if is Mukuro has a change of heart before she’s killed or DR:IF happens #12 am thoughts yippee!!! #(aka me coming up with shit on the spot instead of sleeping) #makoto naegi #dangan ronpa

cosmo and wanda i wish everyone who interprets the plot of steven universe in bad faith as “being friends with space nazis” goes to hell no matter what

#shut up pandora #su #steven universe #while i would have made the main characters be more uncomfortable with the diamonds genocide tendencies #(which they probably would have done if they didnt get canceled by cn for being gay) #steven universes message has been and always will be about family #the diamonds are your homophobic grandma who goes on about how she just wants the best for you aka to not date girls #she hates everything you are but she loves what you represent #and while its perfectly valid to cut someone like that off like steven does in the movie and future #irl relationships are always more nuanced than hurr durr grandma is evil lets throw her in a wood chipper #steven universes message is encapsulated in the last song of the original show #where people who hate you for your identity are not owed your compassion #nor do you need them to love and respect you #but everyone has the chance to change their mind #and youll be open to giving them a second chance #its an optimistic take on bigotry that not everyone agrees on and its okay #but you dont get to accuse this whole ass jewish person of sympathizing with nazis just because you dont agree with their life philosophy #also uh if you look at the diamonds as actual authorities it also tracks bc in case you havent noticed #every politician hates at least some maginalized identities #and if you refuse to kiss up to them they literally will not put in any effort into helping you make the world a better place #and yes sometimes you do need governments to help you #basically steven universes philosophy is be gay do crimes #cut off bigots but keep an open mind if they change for the better even if you dont forgive them #work with politicians even bigoted ones for widescale positive change bc sometimes thats the only realistic way to do so #and then cut them off and spend time with your gay found family and sing about your feelings

HE'S FINALLY GONE!!!

#for now at least #spoke to my mum about this too... i'm not very optimistic #even if i tell her that i hurt myself bc of it (aka me hitting myself in rage) she apparently doesn't take me seriously #and he knows that i do not want to be hugged... but he does it anyway #he's so fucking ignorant #i was going to commit a crime if he had stayed any longer #well anyways... this is all such a pile of shit #at least she'll talk to him #vent #ask to tag #i really do not know what this is... #i'm sorry

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow by The Shirelles

previous ⏪ now playing ⏩ next back to playlist

#stranger things #bizarre love triangle playlist #el hopper #el's pov #this is the first song for el in the playlist #also probably the most optimistically romantic song for el in the playlist 😭 #this is because these are el's feelings in the day before their reunion aka before everything sort of went to shit (mike's words not mine) #and yet while it is hopefully romantic #every romantic build up leads to a 'but--' #the whole point of the song is this feeling of uncertainty that this love she's filling is doomed not to last last #'tonight you're mine completely. you give your love so sweetly. tonight the light of love is in your eyes. but will you love me tomorrow?' #despite this love existing right now in a way that feels tangible. sometime as soon as tomorrow that love is suddenly at risk #and it's sad bc we know that deep down el is having doubts seeing as mike is incapable of simply writing love in his letters #it's just especially sad in her case bc she thinks she is responsible for it ie. 'you don't love me anymore?' #up to this point she has had reason to assume that mike loves her bc of what she overheard mike saying to the others in the cabin #but something isn't right and she's resorted to lying to try to keep mike's affections #right now she can feel some comfort in the fact that she has all these letters/pictures from him displayed in the mike shrine in her room #and yet... #'i'd like to know that your love is love i can be sure of. so tell me now and i wont ask again. will you still love me tomorrow?' #dead ass sounds like a very very valid threat as el's doubts were very much founded #it basically foreshadows how mike being incapable of telling el he loves her in her room during their fight is the final straw for her #she is not going to ask again #and so mike going through with it in the end just makes it all the more tragically epic #and then ending the song with: #'will you still love me...' #dot dot dot indeed #4x01 #gif

impulsively ordered a new pair of boots bc i saw shoefreaks had a pair of demonias on clearance sale in my size (!) and like. do i need another pair of platform boots? absolutely not and these weren't even on my wishlist but fuckit they're cool and at the moment i need every tiny shred of Something Good To Look Forward To after wrestling with my godforsaken java assignment for hours and getting absolutely fucking nowhere. the Death And Doom And Perpetual Academic and Professional and Personal Failure Spiral is real folks and if some 5" platform heels are what puts the brakes on said spiral in2 the Bottomless Pit of Despair well then so be it

#honestly the clearance markoff is only 35% but when reg price is over $200 that shit makes a difference #thank GOD for shoefreaks........ free domestic shipping..... in CANADA 😭 #anyways theyre the demonia camel-300 #probably gonna wear em to tge a7x concert this month assuming they get here on time #might wear my white pleaser boots 2 the grandson concert tho bc why not right? gotta wear em sometime #hnngngnnnng too stressed 2 sleep knowing my java assignment is a verified shitshow and i just str8 up dont know how 2 fix it. at all #i am..... fuckèd. :| #theres nothing i can do about so i may as well sleep! bc its almost 3 am! but the stress! AHHHHHHH #kill me #gonna bus 1.5 hours 2 campus tmrw. demo my assignment aka display the stunning variety of 5xx errors i get in lieu of actual functionality #while trying to not combust from the shame of Being A FailureTM then turn around bus 1.5 hours back home #and . god and adhd willing. start working on my next java lab. bc its due sunday. and i haven't even looked at it #and lord knows i Can Not ask for an extension after the trashfire that has been this last assignment. #i hate college #no 1 even THINK the word python at me idek what im gonna do abt that but ots not due til the 23rd #i feel cautiously tentatively flinchingly optimistic that i might be able 2 figure it out. but only bc i havent worked on it for over a week
