#i have mixed feelings about this season #I’m very sad they didn’t include Gilmore rescuing the taldoreis #bc I feel like that was a turning point for his character in the campaign #he was no longer the sort of joke character he had been before #like vm loved Gilmore before but this moment turned him from the funny shopkeeper npc to a character with motives and morals #and we see just how generous and kind he is above all else for the first time #and then the moment where he’s almost dead and vax is desperately begging him to stay alive #that was also a moment for their relationship #it’s no longer just playfully flirting for fun / the amusement of the rest of the party #i do think there was still some of that sincerity and I loved it but… give me more #the only way to make it up to me is to make them fall in love forever #anyway that’s my spiel #vaxmore #vaxilmore #vax x gilmore #Vax’ildan #vax’ildan vessar #Gilmore #Shaun Gilmore #shaun geddmore #the legend of vox machina #tlovm #critical role #cr1 #critical role campaign 1

So can I woobify the winged lion now

#dungeon meshi #only half a joke.. #humorous phrasing but well umm uh um #you didn’t hear this from me I may have a ‘sympathizing with the demon’ post in drafts #I think it’s really fun to think abt him as a person and like #it’s fun to imagine what sort of silly things could’ve happened had he actually just hung out in Laios’ body #or shared Laios’ body if that’s possible #or just straight up hung out #third touden sibling. I’m serious #im also sick in the head and I think it would be really fun #to torment Kabru with being the only one to fully realize That Is Not Liaos #bc the demon is never subtle with desires too. goes insane

ok, raise your hand if you chuckled at the “this spiderman comic passes the Comics Code Authority” bit before the movie began?

#atsv spoilers #atsv #spiderman atsv #across the spiderverse #BECAUSE I DID #AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN MY THEATER #MY MOM GAVE ME A LOOK #BUT MAMA IT WAS A JOKE #IT WAS A PURPOSEFUL JOKE #AND YOU LAUGH AT JOKES #(also ain’t it funny that Miguel is all authoritarian on what qualifies as a ‘Spider-Man’ and canon events sort of like how the #Comics Code Authority was on the comic book industries’ asses for what qualified as a good comic or kid friendly or graphic enough #or toned down enough or- you get what i’m saying??? KINDA LIKE HOW HOMOPHOBES ARE ON THE LGBT COMMUNITY’S ASS ABOUT #WHAT QUALIFIES AS QUEER ENOUGH OR CHILD FRIENDLY OR FAMILY FRIENDLY OR GOOD CHRISTIAN THEMES OR *gunshots*)

Hi, i was wondering if peach commissioned you for metamorphosis or you're just doing it for fun/because you're obsessed with the fic (which considering thr fic itself is a valid reason to lol) ?

this is the reason

also you got me looking in our chapter cover brainstorming dms so here is Five Times @peachcitt Read My Mind (And One Time She Didn’t)

#to be fair i had just recently read chapter seven AND seen hadestown within the same 24 hour period so i was in some sort of mental state #i said it kind of as a joke and then peach was like haha jk unless 👀 #and i said wait yeah unless 👀👀👀 #and now i’m a pr agent #i know there’s only 4 other screenshots but i’m counting the beginning of the fifth screenshot as the fifth time peach read my mind #i swear for every single cover i’m like ‘so here’s what i was thinking’ and as i send it peach sends the exact same thing #i try to have exactly the same brain as peach whenever possible. which is often #but yes i am doing this for fun. it is very fun #i cant wait to have to put together a portfolio for grad school and literally my only recent art will be metamorphosis illustrations whdbdjf #ml #peach #anna rambles #asks #metamorphosis

working myself up getting really stressed out & upset about tragedy jokes online I fucking hate how everyone pretends they’re mocking the us government as a free pass to joke about a very real & very fucked up tragedy

#newsflash assholes! the only people you’re mocking & affecting are survivors & people whose family died! #mocking victims isnt a ‘gotcha’ to the government or some thought provoking commentary on us i.slamophobia! #i’ve gone to mosques to support muslim friends & community members in the face of i.slamophobic violence in the us. have you? #do you post resources & information alongside your jokes? #do you do anything to SUPPORT the people you’re using to justify making jokes at the expense of other victims? #tw islamophobia mention #tw 9/11 #why don’t you take some time to think about why you find this acceptable as opposed to other tragedies #is it because you think the only people harmed were rich white americans? where do you get that idea? #have you ever thought about the first responders? do you think it’s funny when first responders die from health complications directly #tied to their work? #would you make jokes about this sort of thing if they weren’t American? if it was a different disaster that killed them? #‘oh blue it’s not that deep it’s just a joke’ #well I’m sick of seeing these ‘jokes’ everywhere I look #& I think it’s ridiculous that ‘progressives’ online think it’s wrong to joke about every other tragedy but fine #to joke about this because it happened in the us

I love how season 3 of Buffy was like oh Xander is gay btw. But only for the bit.

#xander Harris #btvs #buffy The vampire Slayer #I’m joking btw this is a joke #the writers really were like what if we made a character that made a lot of sexist comments similar to xander #what if we showed that xander-like character was only making those sorts of comments because he was actually just overcompensating for #being gay by over performing masculinity to the point of toxicity? that this xander-like character was actually just insecure? #what if we showed this xander-like character becoming much more mellow and confident once he‘a accepted by his peers for being gay? #what if he has a tender heart to heart with xander assuming xander is also gay and xander makes no move to correct him #what if xander doesn’t correct him for the rest of the season huh? #what if guys? what then?

do you have more to share about your genshin oc inna? i love their crazy situation and how messed up it is.

Inna technically started out as a catalyst user.

I say technically a catalyst user because our boy would just steal seeds and then if he got into a tricky situation would infuse the seeds with dendro energy and toss them as people where the seeds would would just. Start growing on/in the person.

He was out here turning people into flower beds and vegetable plots on the streets of snezhnaya and had no regrets

Our boy was fucked up before the apocalypse happened and the apocalypse just Made Him Worse

#first case of hanakai was just inna deciding to plant flowers in someone’s lungs and let them suffer #I’m only sort of joking #a flower in snow verse

Amnesty please I have a sad backstory

#that’s a joke and also a ‘I think it’s lame to think you’re cancelled before you’ve even done anything but also I get why it may be seen #not how you would hope #anyways #daisy is the town bike in my shipping wall #look upon second relisten… daisy voice performer did amazing at conveying a post from hell returning intimacy that I can’t shake thinking #about #so it elevated my vague memory of simply liking the development of their relationship upon first listen. it became more tender next time #also idk if I’d say it’s fully romantic but it’s def something #also Jude but only as like. an au sort of thing. like one where the stakes are lower… #same with Julia. that one is more in a ‘killing as a theatrical meaning for love/sex/etc #so like when I’m playing dolls in my head they’re rivals in some fashion #like think that married professors who write papers as if though they despise each other #plus basira kind of. I’m being a hipster about it tbh #anyways I’m sorry if this is kinda weird I do think this is just a byproduct of homestuck being my first majorly interactive fandom #she’s my vriska

having a cishet boyfriend means I have to sometimes do the whole “ok you’re not a bad person but this thing that you’ve never gotten pushback on in your entire life is actually part of a harmful mindset which affects the world around you” thing with surgical precision

#he doesn’t make offensive jokes and he does his best to do the right thing because he cares about people but things like offensive jokes in #media go over his head in terms of them being harmful bc that’s just never been on his radar and that’s an issue since. You know #but if I point it out too harshly he’ll sort of guilt spiral and instead of a learning moment it’s more of a #oh god do you think I’m a bad person am I a bad person #thing #which I get bc I used to do that but it’s not helpful and AGHHHHH #do you get me. this is only rarely a problem btw bc he generally has a good head on his shoulders just lgbt stuff is so foreign to him #but it’s still an issue and I hold him accountable etc #bearer of the curse

Should i read ouran?

YES. assuming you’ve already watched the anime at some point absolutely Yes. I loved the anime when I was 15 and revisiting the series now all these years later by reading the manga definitely reawakened something in me. I really think it is a delightfully fun and absurd story with a lot of heart and a lot of love and a truly iconic ensemble cast. Like the main characters of course but also all the crazy side characters.

It’s also genuinely just extremely funny. I was laughing out loud throughout all the volumes, I think Bisco Hatori is a genius when it comes to comedic timing and character-specific comedy. Everyone is so stupid in uniquely funny ways and everyone loves each other so much. The anime catches up with the manga about halfway through and then it’s all new material about further character development and relationship development and future planning and I CRIED OK!!! Also even the stuff that is covered in the anime is a bit different in the manga, eg the Alice in Wonderland ep is waaay funnier in the manga imo

Here’s some online scans but honestly if your local library has copies I recommend reading those, I’m partial to the official translation. Or be crazy like me and buy the full box set on impulse at 2am

#I’m not sure if I’d make the same emphatic recommendation to someone who has not watched ouran #just bc ultimately it’s a mid 2000s manga and therefore has its fair share of bullshit #but honestly maybe I’m biased or something but it does feel progressive in a lot of ways at least gender/sexuality wise #like haruhi gender icon for sure #but also everyone is just sort of gay and everyone is just like fine with it #like I think a good summary is like a flashback to haruhi childhood and some kids are like *mean comment about haruhis gay dad* #and haruhi is just like I love my gay dad. #and the kids are like oh okay. work #there’s just a lot of love in the series. Hatori says in one of the author notes that she only satirizes & jokes about things she loves #and it shows! #on that note the manga is also worth reading for all the author notes and bonus doodles and art they are sooooo lovely #ask #ouran

This is probably not that common but I honestly rarely like characters who are like me personality wise.

#Personal #I don’t know I suppose I just don’t like how they’re portrayed in media #Because if a character is introverted it automatically makes them aloof and cold #or even worse when they have some sort of trauma that makes them self-blaming and hopelessly insecure #Like where are introverted characters who enjoy solitude! #Where are introverted characters who love people who know how to joke smile and laugh and oh my goodness have friends! #Just where #Why can’t they enjoy their introverted self and instead constantly think there’s something wrong with them #I don’t know I really enjoy outgoing and extraverted characters more #and if they remain outgoing and kind even if they also have some sort of trauma #this is just peak character type to me #I don’t know I have a special connection with characters if their STORIES resonate with me not their personality #I love Elena (EoA) I love Anna (Frozen) I love Rebecca (Crazy Ex Girlfriend) and yet I’m nothing like them personality wise #But their stories especially Rebecca’s speak so much to me #And really why should I even love characters only because they’re like me I love a freaking Darth Vader and he’s a villain #(yeah this is me saying that I am not a villain XD) #Anyway in conclusion I’ll just say that I actually don’t really have a type and just love fictional characters because of the vibes XD #If I’m vibing with them and they make me feel something (well except for irritation I suppose) I do like them #Because as I was saying if I like something in most cases I really cannot explain why XD it just happens #(unless I start analyzing why I do like them…) #I’m suspiciously talkative recently… #Just voicing everything I have on my mind

Fencing’s over 😔

#At least I have contact info this year so I can plan next years float and not prepare for that only three days in advance #I’m gonna be prepared this year #And since I was the only girl leadership it was joked that I was the queen or princess. Like. Nice. I can see that #It was an affectionate sort of thing so I don’t mind #But yeah! Float planning and next year’s is gonna be great

Being a senior in high school is all about school spirit college stress what if I’m an adult virgin jokes with friends first times last times recounting youth reliving youth embracing the things we’ve lost and loving the things that have taken their places.

#basically I’m getting a flip phone for my next phone. I’m looking at digital cameras from like ‘05 ish. #I keep thinking about getting a Walkman or an MP3 player or something. I’m only listening to 2000-2010’s hits #I keep joking about being an adult virgin with my friends (which will be a truth if I don’t have some sort of sex in the next 8 days) #it’s like I’ve had one romantic relationship I have friends who have had six I have friends who have had none. #my mom had sex at age 14 with her boyfriend of 2 years. #crazy shit idk what to tell you
