#but i cannot connect with it

[cometrose]

I think part of the reason I can't ship zhongli/childe is cause way back when in 1.0 and 1.1 mind you people hyped this ship up to the max and I went into the liyue archon quest expecting some serious yaoi and the only thing i came out of it was damn "childe and the traveler have serious tension" and i dont even ship the traveler/childe like I WAS LED ON WITH THE EXPECTATION OF YAOI?

for example before I watched code geass I saw a billion and one people talking about lelouch/suzaku and i was like yeah okay how gay is this shit and I was pleasantly surprised because the fans were right this is some golden standard shonen yaoi. like lelouch and suzaku were gay and toxic and beloved friends and their dynamic and relationship was everything and also devastating i enjoyed it even though i also came out of code geass not shipping suzululu because its beyond my paygrade.

longstory short after i played the archon quest which is zhongli and childe's only interaction and still is for more than 2 years, I felt very lied to i was expecting yaoi greatness and got nothing

however i do think their relationship is funny i would love to see how they became friends like i appreciate their dynamic as weirdo friends than any romantic interpretation

#ofc you are free to ship this it is the most popular ship in the fandom #i cannot stop you #but i cannot connect with it #i like fun ships that bring out the fun sides of characters #i feel the funniest version of this ship is the one where they are weird partners cause they are so different but work well together #maybe fandom has warped this ship beyond repair #its not fun its just a bunch of tropes and i look and z/c and thats not zhongli thats a yaoified fandomized version of him #we have lost so much of childe and zhongli's character in the middle of this mess #but they are really fun characters I like them a lot but im not having fun! #like whenever z/c meet childe and traveler have a stare down while zhongli is having a moment in the corner #but whatever i don't hate it #but i feel irritated but i dont know why #tldr i was lied to and betrayed by fandom now i will never love again

Crawled out the same hole

#debatably tho. seph kind of became the hole #gomaff #fanart #ff7 #mine #sephiroth #aerith gainsborough #i have deep feelings about them. i think theyre connected to the same string so if you pull one end the other feels it #not string of fate but some sort of cosmic duty maybe.... they're sort of foils to me #though i think it def cannot b said that they started from the same place (intent of their creations) they are SIMILAR thouhhhg #ffvii

[inchidentalmeowmeow]

Im not saying they look like each other’s pets but…

hey. you. yeah you. if you think every and all zionists are inherently evil and the jewish people have no ties to the levant then the posts about antisemitism are about you.

#antisemitism #jewish #jumblr #i am TIRED of seeing people reblog my posts about antisemitism #with their previous post or following post being 'death to zionists' #or 'all israelis are settler colonialists who deserve to die' #define zionism for me #every definition of all forms of zionism #which is something i cannot do so i am sure you cannot do #so to claim you hate all versions of a concept you do not know is extremist to begin with #but then to have it a concept deeply rooted in jewish identity and history is uuuuh antisemitic #now tell me the history of the land of israel #and the connections between jewish holidays and the land #you can't do that either because then you'll need to admit that jews also belong in the land huh

The anonymous person is labeled as Abby saying the word "redacted" in caps locks and brackets. The horrified employee is edited to be holding a box of Scrabble and is labelled as Carlos, Janice, Cecil (not taking it in), and Steve.

#my art #oc #mendel #anthro #furry #dragon #bringing back his sleigh bells because they kinda slay (sleigh) #i will revisit this i think. there's more i wanted to do with it but i wanted something to post before I leave for the next week so here... #watched the fnaf movie the other day for friend birthday and it was INCREDIBLY stupid and silly and bad but still a fun time somehow #the tonal whiplash was bizarre and the characters were incomprehensible and the dialogue was ridiculous and unintentionally funny #it's so funny this took 8 years to do what were they DOIN!!!! it cannot have been polishing the script!!! #but the animatronics and set design were incredible. even if they stopped being scary very fast i loved the funny murderous animals #playing elastica connection and iggy pop wild child was a choice that was made #anyway truly wild. i played the first four games and that's it so i can hardly profess to be the target audience #illustration

something about a connection you'll always want but can never make
