just finished bojack horseman for the first time…

#so like woah #I have mixed feelings on whether or not I’m glad they kept BoJack alive #TVFHD was quite possibly the best episode of television I have ever seen #it was the perfect way for BoJack to confront his mortality and the fact that he always thinks he’s going to ‘wake up’ #but keeping him alive also forces him to confront his mortality: how long will he spend being a shitty person how many days will he waste #will he ever change? i’d like to think so. i feel as tho bojack’s death #whenever it arrives for him #will be once again similar to TVFHD #sorry I’m stoned i need to shut up #But anyways the idea that shit happens and we think it’s the end of the world but it’s really not and eventually we move on #And we don’t always realize we’ve moved on/what has passed us until it is so far gone it’s almost laughable #bojack lives to see another day. sunlight shines on all the bad choices he’s made sure but sun shines on all the chances he has to change #And be better #BoJack horseman #j watches #shaggy’s stash #j’s thoughts

don’t get me wrong i love fics where Arthur is high honor from the get go and is super sensitive and understanding but it bugs me a bit cause before TB this man would never and i mean never offer his help to a stranger willingly— it was always people asking, and he begrudgingly accepted, for whatever reasons— or understand the struggles of the most sensible one.

Im not saying Arthur himself was not sensible and open, but he had only loyalty in mind, he didn’t even try to reflect on his own behavior and feelings until the sickness started to spread. He was not an introspective kind of guy because he didn’t have a choice and/or the opportunity to do it under Dutch. Even Hosea, the wisest of the two did not break the wall Arthur built.

He never had time to reflect.

The fact that Arthur himself acknowledged implicitly that if he didn’t have TB, he would see Rains Fall as “weak and pathetic” because he didn’t want to fight, is a pretty hard cold reminder that Arthur, as kind as he was, couldn’t see past honor and physical strength. But now with TB? He finds himself wondering and seeing for the first time a different kind of strength, a different approach to intellect— wise, careful, and full of understanding for how the world works and how it doesn’t work.

We had an inkling of Arthur being an emotionally repressed being— his son, his journal, his drawing, the way he sees himself and the world around— the nature

But he didn’t give much thought about it because of his upbringing and predicament.

But that’s what’s make it so beautifully bittersweet. For the first in his life, not only he is vulnerable physically, but emotionally as well. That’s why he tries to do the good thing— not by accident, not to protect the gang, not bc he was asked to do it— but on his own, out of of conscious selflessness. Because he reflected, because he is on the brink of acceptance of what matters and how he wants to do things.

Knowing the people he helps, and be good to them

#I would be like Ignacio #and be better #but I’d have to hang out with them and hopefully not be called gay every 5 seconds #for hanging out with girls

Hot take:

Telling someone to 'get some help' as an insult is no different than calling someone 'crazy' or 'degenerate' as an insult.

Saying 'get some help' comes with the implication that you believe they are sick and/or mentally ill- and portraying mental illness as bad is inherently ableist.

Grow up and say what you really mean instead of relying on bigotry, cowards.

#chiled comment #can you tell i'm angry? #cause I'm angry #i am sick and tried of people being casually bigoted when trying to dunk on someone #i was inspired to write this based on some fandom bs #but it extends to a lot of other things online #especially topics that have varying opinions #like #stop telling assholes or people you just dont like to 'get some help' #you are only contributing to ableism and the stigmitzation of mental illness #just say you think somone is stupid or that they have a bad take goddamn it #stop being a fucking bigot and actually learn to look at how you use language #and be better #ableism #ableist language #saneism #bigotry #mental illness

yknow i never noticed the sheer rareness of images having ids or alt text on this website until i started adding alt text to my art (and trying to remember to add it to any images i post in general, especially text screenshots) and that makes me kinda sad

#i used to be pretty intimidated by the idea of having to describe my art but. it isnt as hard as it sounds #i just treat it like im describing an image i dont have at the time really #plus ive been told that even a simple id is better than no id #lev.txt

A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.

everybody’s always on writing prompts like “what if there was a world where everyone had a timer ticking down to their death… but you met someone whose timer said infinity!” or “what if everyone had their cause of death tattooed across their forehead… but you met someone whose forehead said THE CREATURE!” Enough -

enough. stop with the shock value. there is no need to insert THE CREATURE; the benign concept of such a world is horrifying enough. not even in urgency, but just in banal, everyday interaction. imagine you meet someone and their timer says two years. not tomorrow, not urgently soon, but two years. enough to do quite a lot. they could fall in love in that time - could they get engaged? have a baby? you might otherwise get to know them, befriend them, but perhaps you opt not to, make a conscious choice not to invest in your own grief. what balancing act would every individual person have to participate in - I have ten years, is that long enough to be a good mother to children? is that long enough to secure a caretaker for my own mother? my wife will die a few months before me. my newborn’s timer reads nineteen years.

and cause of death. you interview for a job and emblazoned across the healthy, smiling face of the HR lady is MALNUTRITION. your country is prospering, safe, but every person you meet on the street from the babies to the old women read BOMB. BOMB. what kind of havoc would fate wreak on the world? what about the loss of privacy? how would that shape our notions of hope? idk man I think a lot of those ancient poems were right, and the fates are monsters. I’m interested by the framing of these ideas as trite horror tales when the premises themselves are so much more disturbing if simply taken to their logical ends

#debated making the cause of death in the happy country also MALNUTRITION. MALNUTRITION. might have been a better specific image but these #better illustrate my point #the frog speaks #writing

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

#i originally posted this as just a 'hey remember how fuckin bad middle/highschool was? shit was wild' type post but now #there are a bunch of teens in the notes being like 'oh my god are you serious? it gets better? im not stuck in hell forever??' #and im reminded that the only people who told teenage ella 'it gets better' were speakers at mental health assemblies #aka the least relatable people alive who were seemingly born to lie to you #so. uh. yeah im a certified adult who isnt here to lie or sugarcoat the realities of being a teenager #the only thing more certain than the pain is the transcience

So I got into dungeon meshi and i’ve been telling everyone who I talk to. I love everything about the world, characters, the art, etc.

BUT

People are not kidding when they say that senshi will manifest in your head to tell you to eat better. Like I have a hard time remembering to eat but my brain would be like “you haven’t eaten in some hours, you need a meal” and I would be like you’re very right internal senshi I’m gonna see what I can make. Then I make food??? Honestly Gods sent senshi for helping so many people eat better

#dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon #senshi #I feel like all the people are eating better because of senshi is very indicative of the main message of dungeon meshi #senshi of izganda #I made bread today it was nice
