I’m on a poetry A;TLA kick, so do you think Katara would read Rupi Kaur?

lmfaoo god …. is it bad if i say yes?? i mean she’s young and easily impressed…. i think she’d be drawn to the imagery/aesthetics of #brown girl insta poetry without really considering whether or not said poetry is qualitatively “good.” but i also think that eventually she’d look back on her instapoetry phase and be like “wow i was such a cringe child” but also she’d forgive herself because she was fourteen and we all go thru a phase of writing drivel about mangoes and/or pomegranates, it’s a rite of passage lol

#😭😭😭 #bad ethnic teen girl poetry is crucial to the ecosystem #unfortunately rupi kaur has capitalized on this fact in a very insidious way #(altho fwiw i never liked her poetry. this isn’t me projecting. katara’s kinda basic tho. so she would) #ephemeral-phosphorescence #asks #katara #modern au #but only somewhat

To get a bit personal for a moment (please ignore all the other times I get personal). When the Dream Situation first got serious, when we really started taking the allegations seriously, I was in the boat of leaving dtblr/mcyt for good. I thought that no matter what happened, Minecraft and other other CCs were tainted for me by association. And I think, for many people, they still are. It really depends on the person how much they can process, distance, etc.

I was upset. I was angry. I was feeling robbed, and tainted, of things that brought me joy being suddenly taken from me and my perceptions shattered. Of allowing myself to become so invested, when in the past I have been so critical of such parasocialism. And honestly, I still am on some level - many of my posts have been emotive and reactionary, and later when I take a step back I am able to look at myself and go 'oh'. I'm still grieving, in many ways. As are most of us, I think.

This is why I stand by understanding people being upset, unable to trust Dream or even his fans, unable to trust themselves... and about needing to leave. I may not agree with some takes, and there's some things I will be vocally critical of because there has been a disproportionate amount of moral policing, scaremongering and misinfo in this aftermath. Not to mention the behaviour around the Technoblade memorial which, yes, still pisses me off. But I also want to make clear: If you need to leave, I will miss you. I already do, especially the ones I had to let go because I can't allow too much negativity or I myself will fall into a spiral of obsessive hate. Because I am mourning as well. And if you ever feel comfortable enough to come back, I would welcome you. I spiral, too. I was unhappy, too. With the situation, and myself. You're not alone, even if we end up on different paths.

And honestly? I think I was lucky in that after the first 24-48hrs of the fallout, of losing so much of dtblr and our shared interests, I was able to find people who helped give me a reality check. In no small part because I was forced to be away from my computer as well so I was MADE to step away rather than doomscroll. They also were still blogging about other CCs, and I realised, actually, I still enjoy them. I still love this content. No matter what, they don't have anything to do with this specific situation. I just, as always, need to keep in mind how careful one must be with parasociality. And now I'm happily mcyt blogging again - and it's been CATHARTIC.

Because with all my emotional turmoil, I'll admit I have thought: Wouldn't it be amazing to be a Dream stan again out of spite? Just think about it. Consider it.

And boy am I tempted.

But no. Not right now, not with things the way they are. I cannot compromise my morals like that. What I CAN do is funnel that spite into CCs that absolutely still deserve my love and appreciation, rediscover streamers and creators I originally enjoyed when I got into mcyt too (hi Technoblade and Wilbur). As long as I reality check myself about it consistently. And that's all it is.

I'm sorry but I don't really get it when people require relatability or "seeing themself" in a story to enjoy it, like I get it as a bonus, but as a requirement?? like I only relate to Lucy from Narnia, that autistic guy from the random Christian book I got from the library, the Death Korps of Krieg, and Dory Finding Nemo; this would seriously limit my media intake

Knowledge Revenge.

#dungeon meshi #chilchuk tims #senshi #Somewhat of an unofficial sequel to the Dragon Comic. I promise I have more versatility in my jokes. I just had to take this opportunity. #Senshi is pretty much a recluse. I think he would know a few of these 'gottems' but not all. #Chilchuck would know gottems that are nearly lost to time. The deep cuts. The ones that you fall for because they are that obscure. #I would also like to take a moment to confess that after the last comic in which I posed a gottem - #I fell victim to a Mind Goblin Attack. I was thoroughly got. I will be on higher alert this time. #So NOBODY be funny in the tags. I am gullible and I like to share things with my friends. Who are *ruthless*. #I have a mild resistance to Vicious Mockery at this point but I can only take so much. #Happy Thistle Thursday Everyone! See you next week!

in a modern AU Link would be Zelda's only friend with a driver's license and their chat history would look like this

#vitpost #loz #the legend of zelda #zelink #not necessarily zelink but yknow. It fits the bill somewhat #totk #botw #she keeps ending up in random ass places and he keeps dropping everything to come pick her up #this is the only way to preserve their knight/princess dynamic in a modern setting I think.

[ID in ALT] I've made posts before about Talia/Dick co-parenting Damian moments (will never happen but let me dream) and this came to me in a vision. Took me ages to finish for some reason 😭 and then even longer to post

#dc comics #dc #damian wayne #dick grayson #talia al ghul #batfamily #dc robin #nightwing #anyway. yes im a self-indulgent ''dick as damians secret third parent'' truther #like i DO think it's way more complex and nuanced than the schmoopy affectionate fan portrayal of it #they're brothers they're father and son they're partners they're the dynamic duo except only in past tense etc etc #but consider! I'm not immune to schmoopy affection in fanworks. it compells me despite itself #anyway it's technically not that crazy when it comes to dick and damian. they hug! often! at least they did #it's not as big a leap to these types of scenarios #also talia ''somewhat absent for complex reasons on both her and damians part but very loving and loved by her son'' al ghul #you will always be famous to me #son of the demon origin...bwahhh #anyway. someone made a comic kind of like this/like a post i made abt this topic #but way funnier bc dick and talia starting trying to beat each other up #so go look at that as well #anyway. it's been a somewhat difficult few weeks so I'm. desperately trying to take it easy #i got some reading with me (first vol of kevin smiths GA run that i found second hand and jaimes BB run vol 2!) #so we'll see how far i get through those. considering there's demons in my head telling me to re-read things (LET ME OUT!!!) #when i finish GA and BB i do plan on rereading robin 2021. as a treat to myself #it's a run I've really warmed up to as time went on #I'm keeping up w/ the current b&r run even though it is. admittedly very slow w/ some weird dialogue #i read it for the damian content more than anything. also nikas back so that's neat :] #idk I have a feeling that after absolute power shakes out we might get some more creative team switch ups #so if anyone at dc is interested in taking over the reigns on b&r...that could be very neat #(it's me they should hire me. please DC i have ideas listen to my red hood pitch PLEASE-)

Alice Dyer is NOT Tim 2.0. Their humor is completely different. Canon Tim is incredibly different from fanon tim. He is funny sometimes, but when it comes down to it, his humor comes down to “millenial who makes the occasional pop culture reference and is jokingly flirty sometimes”. He knows what a meme is, but his meme knowledge is not that far advanced from “I can haz cheesburger” cat. He is not hip with the memes. Alice is the one who is hip with the memes. Please let this woman be cringe and let Timothy Stoker be free from the chains of comedic relief meme guy.

#I’m probably gonna delete this later idk #God forbid women are losers with a somewhat cringey tumblr sense of humor #anyways. I’m only protocol tagging this so people can avoid it if they don’t wanna see protocol stuff #tmagp #tmagp spoilers #the magnus protocol #alice dyer #i dont think this is discourse so I’m not tagging it as such? but I can add it later I guess if I decide to let this thang live #rambles

Kind of terrible lives in general huh #Neither of them could help each other when things got dicey in the household #Peko because the Kuzuryūs are NOT afraid to 'discipline' her. Fuyuhiko because it literally only makes things worse. #Both of them because if they show off how close they are the agents might rethink keeping Peko around. So they grit their teeth and bear it #I somewhat hc that the parents also aren't above involving the other in a punishment. Like. #Fuyuhiko can take a beating but he hates seeing Peko be hurt. Same for her. So if they REALLY wanna beat a lesson into one of them.... ykno #BUT THATS SAD. SO I ADDED THE NICE PICTURE AFTERWARDS #Child abuse cw #Cw child abuse

Reunion time! 😄💕

#I was SO happy to finally be back home that I immediately felt inspired to make a little something for the occasion 🥰 #No more prolonged absence - only good vibes 😌✨ #I have often entertained scenarios where Mario would be gone for a while #either going on a side mission or thoroughly exploring the realm to ensure its safety #each time returning a bit rough-looking and somewhat exhausted; but safe and content #Both Luigi and Peach would be there to greet him most enthusiastically upon his arrival 🤗 #It would be a blissful moment of relief and delight for the three of them everytime #The joy of being together once more would never fail to fill them with endless warmth and delight #It's a scene I've pictured countless times before #The whole concept lives in my head rent free 🥺💗 #And thanks to you guys and your AMAZING support I finally drew it! :D #I love them and I love YOU #Mario #Princess Peach #Mario x Peach #Mareach #Luigi #best bros #family #friendship #romance #group dynamic #Super Mario Bros #fanart

You’re making a lot of promises there Chara…

Part 24 || First || Previous || Next

—Full Series—

I enjoyed doing this little Flashback scene. We’ll be back to our regularly scheduled freakout session soon. Having monochrome color is very nice.

Here is a gif of Chara spilling their water because YES. And I spent way too long on it :)

Wow technology is so cool.

#Frisk is finally name dropped!! WOOHOOO #Az and Chara are my Little Lily bugs and I love writing their interactions #they still have a lot to learn about each other though. it’s only been a few months! #the tiny nudge made me happy #untitled goose game is just chillin in the corner #if you want lol. I ain’t cannonizing anything there #gif #I’m really happy with all this. I was planning on making almost 7 pages but with some help from friends I decided to cut it down a lot #i’ve also really been wanting to solidify all of their pronouns for a while now but couldn’t find a suitable time #anyways…I still have some vacation time planned so the next update will also be somewhat delayed #thanks to all those who are still loving the story #much love #bread #art #deltarune #deltarune chara timeline #chara #Asriel #Kris #my art

is herobrine behavior/lore not common knowledge anymore .... has the world really forgotten about the 2x2 tunnels .. trees with their leaves all gone ... the sand pyramids in the ocean ... the herobrine shrine that would apparently summon him ... the lost to time brocraft hoax livestream that further popularized herobrine as a concept (of which herobrine was just a painting from a texture pack, later removed to which the streamer would continue to act freaked out until the end) .. the original forum post from sometime in august 2010 that detailed encounters with a pseudo-player in the distance on a singleplayer world which included this screenshot

does anyone even care at all. about a herobrine so small

#minecraft #i cut the forum post contents short because i only enjoy it up to that point #such a fondness for the herobrine myth #it was simple but thats why it worked in the environment of alpha minecraft #minecraft - especially early versions - held with them a kind of inherit loneliness #it was a little barren. only a few mobs with very simple ai #limited amount of items. no hunger #the low render distance fog leading to somewhat of an eerie atmosphere. leaving you to wonder if theres anything else out there #the origins of this myth like. understood how to work with what this game was at the time to create a concept that you know. if you were a #young kid around this era then youd be wondering about herobrine in your own singleplayer world #s #hey remember when they forgot to add ''removed herobrine'' to the change logs #also remember when the community spent hours to find the seed from this screenshot and they actually did they found the herobrine seed
