#bright gets personal

[dykecherry]

(do not) love how femme has become aestheticized to the point where low-income folks that can’t support themselves financially develop imposter syndrome bc they’re unable to relate to everybody else posting about their expensive self care products/jewelry/clothing and how it’s intrinsically linked to their identity

#mine #remember that non feminine femmes exist #whether it be a result of personal choice or circumstances beyond their control #and before somebody gets on my case and says something like ‘people can have nice things’ i never implied the opposite #i simply wish that people would stop acting like the amount of bright shiny frilly pink things you own quantifies how femme you are #this is about lesbians btw

its much easier to do makeup when you only have one eye

#if one more person in this goddamn campaign gets wave tattoos im killing them. #PLEASE there are more things in the world you don't have to all get fucking wave tattoos im begging you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #anyway yes. not the final tattoo design. couldn't chose between these and the bright pink ones #jrwi riptide #lizzie lafayette #my art #sketch #its very funny to me that lizzie wears makeup while also being on a ship in the middle of the ocean constantly #her eyeliner smudges and drips because of the salt and water but she keeps reapplying it

If Jack's colors are tied to his mental state do you think there's a world where he gets his colors back. I think there is.

#to be clear i dont think he will ever fully get his colors back #they will be muted and dark and never as bright as they once were #because he will never be able go back to the innocent person he once was even if he heals #creepypasta #my posts #laughing jack #creepypasta art #anyway whats the opposite of a vent post. a hope post? thats what this is #bestsellers

my sun haven farmer!! she hasn't got a name, they call her The Farmer.

she's been haunting the local landscape like a sad oily wraith for decades and is dipping her toes into socialising by leaving gifts she figured out the villagers would like (via stalking). she is trying her best! they know she is not a threat (to them)

#sun haven #sun haven farmer #she has a watcher angels halo blessing on her for reasons <3 #when i play this game i get mods to hoard the marriage candidates like snacoon plushies lolol #if you play sun haven i recommend a portrait mod unless you like the OG style of the romances portraits. personally not to my taste but the #models are soooo cute #had an absolutely catastrophically depressing week so sunhaven has been my only bright spot haha

gotta say, i do not like how lately i've been seeing posts from people who use a person having colorfully dyed hair as a sort of shorthand for "leftist who is actually secretly an asshole." like people making comments like "the girl with blue hair and perfect eyeliner wings is also the one who won't give up their seat for a disabled person on the bus". like we already have to deal with the right-wing fascists using "blue hair and pronouns" as a shorthand for "leftist (trans) person who is insufferable and oversensitive", can we please not turn brightly colored hair into a caricature in leftist circles as well. having brightly dyed hair is not some magic symbol of "person who claims to be a leftist but is actually secretly an asshole". it is a morally neutral trait. and while i'm not discounting anyone's experience with someone with brightly dyed hair who treated them badly, i think that turning it into some kind of shorthand for "asshole" is just going to ultimately hurt us more than it's going to help.

#sye's babbles #like. i love having blue hair. i don't feel right without it. #and i am kinda getting uncomfortable with the level of vitriol that is being aimed at ppl with brightly dyed hair #from BOTH sides of the political spectrum #just because you had one fucking person with pink hair treat you badly does not mean everyone w bright hair will #it's obviously not comparable to axes of oppression since its a personal choice to style your hair like that and all #but also like. it just feels like two steps below being an asshole to someone who is gnc #because having brightly dyed hair IS a non-conformist hairstyle #it's treated as improper and unprofessional #and shitting on people for not conforming is always going to make you look like a conformist assimilationist douche. #please for the love of god begging EVERYONE to be normal about brightly dyed hair.

toxic traits i think redacted audio characters have/used to have: listener edition!

angel - pessimistic + perfectionism, especially when it comes to the pack. They feel slightly inferior because they’re human, so when it comes to planning events like the Solstice, they want everything to be perfect but they can’t help but imagine the absolute worst. I think they also begin to spiral a little when it comes to David + the pack and them working specific events, this is bc of the Inversion.

baabe - a massive people pleaser. similarly to angel, they feel inferior to the pack because they’re human, so when asher first introduced them to the pack, baabe altered basically everything about themselves from their interests to their humor in attempt to fit in. they’re like this with other humans too. They’re a lot better now that they’ve got roots in the pack, though.

sweetheart - major workaholic + defensive. the department obviously demands a lot from its employees, so sweetheart is definitely running on a few hours of sleep and caffeine, but instead of taking breaks they can sit at a desk and do paperwork all day. they often fail to realize how damaging it is and they get snappy when people try to help them. they usually apologize afterwards cause they’re cool like that.

smartass - inflexible + slightly aggressive. they are sooo stubborn and they don’t like trying new things at ALL. They also tend to get pretty feisty when somebody challenges them on anything and they’re quick to dish out insults. and i mean they go for the JUGULAR. they’ll insult your appearance, your grammar, they’ll find your whole family tree on facebook and bring up your family issues if it means they’ll win an argument.

lovely - they’re a little too confident and they overestimate themself. lovely is tough, don’t get me wrong BUT they tend to automatically assume they can do anything. the type of person to watch ultimate ninja warrior or some shit and be like “i could do that” but they most definitely could not. i still can’t get over how vincent warned them on that mountain or whatever and they decided not to listen and immediately got their shit rocked.

bright eyes - they used to be very impulsive. they get the urge to do something? they ARE going to do it. zero forethought. after the Quinn incident, they try to think before acting more often.

honey - they used to be very dismissive. they did not prioritize closeness, affection, or intimacy in their relationships because they didn’t know how to channel those emotions. ever since being with Guy, he’s helped them a lot.

darlin/tank - oh boyyy. they’ve definitely picked up on some extreme negativity in their life, but i think one of their worst traits was their recklessness. we know darlin has a habit at throwing themself into danger head on like they’re invincible, which results in them severely injured and needing somebody to take care of them. Part of me also thinks that they struggle with empathy. in the “Confronted by Your Pack Alpha” video, darlin seemed to have a hard time understanding how David + the pack felt about them running off to go vampire hunting and they were fully convinced that they were doing the right thing by trying to “protect” everyone.

i purposely left out some listeners, like lasko’s, antons, and james’ because i have no clue what theirs would be. I also left out Cutie because we all know what their toxic trait is… oh boy.

#i wasn’t expecting a post about toxic traits to get positive feedback jahdjwbs #but thank you! #i also want to put the same reminder on this post as i did the last one #everyone has a little toxicity #you are still a good person #DO NOT feel bad if you do any of these! #it’s ok <3 #redacted audio #redacted angel #redacted babe #redacted sweetheart #redacted smartass #redacted lovely #redacted bright eyes #redacted honey #redacted darlin #redacted tank #woah that’s a lot of tags

...is there any amount of pathetic begging which will coax you into showing your final paper or...

it's solidly in the 'very clearly written in one uninterrupted eight hour session' phase of a research paper, so i tragically fear it will never see the light of day. the whole thing is sorta about examining the magical girls -> witches existentialist horror through the lens of simone de beauvoir's ethics of ambiguity, which means i'm sorta just stumbling through termology and vague quotes as i desperately try to explain the concept of magical girl anime to my very middle-aged, very male professor. right now i'm teetering between trying to explain the plot out-right and just sorta hinting at the whole 'aliens are harvesting energy from teenage lesbians by making them kill each other in pretty outfits' thing, but we're managing. my tab layout kinda communicates the vibe.

#i've given up completely on touching the timeloop shenanigans (tragically) #but on the bright side i'm physically incapable of shutting up about madoka magica at the worst of times so #that word count is getting met and then some #personal #anon ask

where are all the 200k word post-day of unity fics where alador is going through a nasty and increasingly messy divorce and trying to help rebuild the boiling isles and also fixing his relationship with his kids but he's also struggling with having his own autonomy again and his own guilt over not being an actual father to his kids and he doesnt know who is outside of his responsibilities of work/family bcus he never had actual friends once he left school and once upon a time alador was the one to show darius there's more to life than what you can do for other people and now darius has the opportunity to help alador relearn the same thing and maybe together they can both rediscover what real love feels like again after years of bitterness

#krav talks #toh #aladarius #dalador #also alador is autistic and amity inherited it from him #and darius simultaneously figures out how to be a safe person for hunter again by slowly rebuilding the trust between him and alador #bcus hunter is also autistic but is more similar to alador on the spectrum than amity #and darius has to like. re-remember how to accommodate in those specific ways so he doesnt make alador OR hunter close themselves off again #but its not dadrius at first bcus hunter is staying with camila #OH ALSO it actually includes camila taking on an active role in her childrens' lives on the boiling isles #like she often goes to visit and becomes actual friends with the other adults in luz & hunter's lives #including darius. she and darius get along quite well. she is like a diluted form of luz's intense and raw Pure Goodness #and she's more grounded and is like the sturdiest tree in the forest and her company is as refreshing as the feeling of human rain #where luz is as bright and as intense as a roaring bonfire in the summer #camila is an ever-burning candle on a moonless night #she gives nothing but clarity and relief. she doesnt burn as bright as her daughter but that doesnt lessen the impact of her presence #sorry i love camila so much.

my research partner and i are huddled in a blanket in paddington waiting for a too-late train i already miss you and you and you

#he keeps falling asleep almost on my shoulder and waking up and readjusting but i want to tell him its ok weve seen a lot #of each other ive seen your brainwaves you called me crying a few nights ago. research partner right now is a potentiality #friend is a certainty. i met a banker passionate about finance. he said his advice made the lives of others better and he likes the numbers #more than he likes anything else. on a high rise near canary wharf the view was wonderful and the people even moreso #he said i loved her but i spent 33 grand on her and i cant do this anymore. his voice cracked talking about her. he did love her. #and she talked softly she grabbed my hand she bought me a pack of Marlborough gold she told me to snap #the russian menthol cigarettes of the tortured polish man near us with my teeth i kept staring at her teeth #bright white and sharp. i couldnt find her heartbeat but i did find warmth and i did find her lips and i did feel #how she felt pressed against a wall. a pretty boy held my hand and i gave him my number. i couldnt stop smiling about her no matter #how many runways youve walked on how many collections youve designed how many students youve taught. senior lecturer teaches me how to do #very unethical things ethically over a double shot of vodka made by the half-persian with broken farsi. she talks softly #and she says her eyes are hazel but they appear a shade of red. pure gold on her hands and leather on her back and her fingers on my lips #(she talks softly sees through me she says something i cant hear but i wont forget the way she flies) she talked to my research partner #about the possibility of moving to sunny dubai with the rest of her family and my heart felt pierced. on her arm i traces a tattoo of a #knife passing through a rose. she told me she thought there was romance in severing so i kissed her some more. #he sat me down and asked me what i loved and i told him and he said no romance no person no tragedy will take that from you. #the room was filled with a collection of people in love with something that wasnt a person and i kept looking at her. #red eyes bitten jawline beautiful hands. it is 3 degrees Celsius my head is on his shoulder i miss my friends #we walked out the lecture hall with arms linked a photo of two years ago and we both said #jesus christ. i miss you all. and i miss logic metatheory lectures. im glad i get to stare at the depth of your eyes #i wish i had met you years ago. #crushposting

I'm weak #i could fall in love with him #i will not but i could #he and his stupid bright smile and his stupid cute bunny teeth and his stupid dimples and the stupid way his cheeks blush and #his stupid brown eyes I'm ill #sorry #i also watched all the bright places with justice smith the other day and i cried the entire second half of the film #i cried for about an hour I'm not exaggerating #watching more movies in a single month than i did in the last two years I'm not a big movie person #i love miles acting btw he always seems like he's just hanging out like he's too real sometimes I'm like is this acting??? it's so funny #i can't explain maybe it's just me #anyways sorry idk why I'm talking about this

I feel like I’m forever having to unlearn the hatefulness I’ve learned to normalise

#been always struggling with this #i am always such a negative hateful person and i think a lot of it has to do with how i was raised #i hate that my brain still assumed negative and worst in situations #i feel like me hating it is ironic itself #i need to put more work into improving #and being kind #im a little triggered bean but i still stand by these #i cant wait to get home next week and not have to hear my mom in person for another year #hearing her insult anythingn and anyone has me anxious and ready to smack my head against a wall #we dont do that in this house tho #on yhe bright side #3 days till tattoos
