#christmas wank

[redrobin-detective]

I hate the commercialization of Christmas centered around present giving, that I am socially forced to buy things for both people I love and people I want to choke on a starburst. I hate the forced, fake cheer around as people pretend they’re being good and charitable by buying overly priced junk just to tick off a box on their to do list. I hate that most of the time, people are too stressed by having to buy so many people gifts that often they just buy whatever just to have something to wrap which the receiver doesn’t even want resulting in a circle jerk of stress for everyone involved with no net gain.

#christmas wank #anti christmas #christmas hate #i hate the holidays so much #i got the last of my presents yesterday and like the palpable Relief I felt #like I've been lowkey stressing since october about gifts #i hate that I have to buy my mother (who I'm one step above despising) a gift or else she throws a fit #I hate that I find fun gifts for my friends throughout the year but feel obligated to wait for a stupid manufactured holiday #I hate that in addition to buying presents i have to coordinate getting them wrapped and sent so they arrive on time #it just sucks! I hate it! #every year I tell my family 'can we just fucking skip presents this year??' #and every year my mom is like 'Im gonna buy you the best present you're gonna love forever' #and proceeds to buy the lamest most unlike me thing ever that I hide away immeaditely #i want to hibernate to january #fuck christmas #(and yet I am Winning at presents they're all super attuned to what people want) #(I hate the culture of present buying but I think Im good at it)

Content I wish there was a bit more of in the dbh fandom:

More Content with Connor Markus AND Kara interacting and dealing with shit together, especially in post-game stories. For some reason Kara content is always separate from the other two mains, I wanna see more shenanigans with all 3 of them.

More Connor & Luther interactions. They have so much in common! They can bond over their guilt from being forced to harm other androids before eventually deviating out of empathy! Also they can bond over learning how to not throw themselves into the line of fire at a moment's notice all the time lol.

More Luther content in general. He mostly just gets paired as an accessory with Kara and I wanna see more of him.

More Markus/Josh content. I don't even actually ship them I just think the amount of Mosh content is disproportionately low compared to most other Markus ships. He deserves some ship action too!

More North/Josh content. I DO ship them and the fact that more people don't ship them baffles me considering how much tumblr loves to ship characters who bicker with each other and are treated as polar opposites. Even just some more friendship content with them would be nice.

More Josh content in General. He's an important member of Jericho too but he gets shafted a lot in fics and fanart compared to the other two.

Some ATLA AU content where Markus is the Avatar and Connor is the disgraced Fire Nation Prince hunting him down. C'MON PEOPLE IT'S RIGHT THERE HOW IS THIS NOT MORE OF A THING?! Simon can be the water tribe teacher, Josh can be the earth nation teacher, North can be the Fire Nation teacher, Hank can be Connor's older role model figure who tags along with him and helps him develop his moral compass, Nines can be the terrifying smarter faster stronger younger sibling who also goes after Markus when Connor fails too many times (aka when he lets Markus and other criminal benders escape too many times huehuehue), Amanda can be the Fire Lord (yes I know she's literally an ice queen but you can't tell me she doesn't also fit the sinister manipulative leader character who Connor would be desperate to make proud and live up to her expectations), Kamski can be a former Avatar who shows up to give cryptic advice occasionally. Gavin would be the commander character who constantly gives Connor shit similar to Zhao. IT WORKS SO WELL GUYS. Kara doesn't slot in as well as the others but we can fit her in there somehow, she can maybe be one of the people who moved into that one air temple and repurposed it. It's just kinda wild how well most of the characters/roles would fit the au scenarios so I'm surprised I haven't seen it before when I've seen at least one take on an Avatar AU for almost every other fandom I've been in.

I am aware that I can create more of this content myself but I am currently working on graduating university and getting a job so for now I'm just gonna make a wistful post about it.

What’s the point of a white christmas if it’s almost prolly definitely (hey trying to not squash hope here) be a christmas alone.

#tiger’s roar #family wank #i’m not shocked. i’m not surprised. i’ve been bracing for this all damn month #still hurts tho. #there’s even Christmas Food that’s…just gonna sit there now. #… #…at least the power only flickered once. #i still have heat. and my medication’s stayed refrigerated

You know what. Idc. Unfollow me if you need to. But I think I'm allowed to have an opinion and express it on my blog.

One ship I really hate is David x Stevie. That's my NOtp forever. I can't stand that ship. It's no secret that I'm no fan of Stevie's and I definitely don't think she ever deserved David. Also I firmly believe it is canon that David never had romantic feelings towards Stevie. And once the novelty of sleeping together faded after a couple of times, it was over. That's it. Clean cut. David felt no desire to sleep with her again. Also canon btw, they tried rekindling the fire, but there was nothing there. I think because there was so little to begin with. And what comes to Stevie, I really don't care what she felt. But I just don't see this beautiful and/or tragic love story between them. I think Stevie was a bit smitten, a bit confused and then she was over it when she said she was. And what a sad and inappropriate thing it would be to keep harboring feelings for your best friend or having sexual thoughts or what ifs about them, when they're actively building a life with the love of their life. But idk, maybe Stevie is that pathetic, I just never got that feeling about her in canon. I just think she's annoying to no end.

Also. . . . . . . . I'm sorry. . . I really do love y'all but. . . "platonic soulmate". . . . . will never enter my vocabulary. (Isn't that just... you know... a friend. Idgi tbh.)

Day 229, and we've started on full-body shading! Which I will probably scrap tomorrow and redo from scratch with more deliberation, I just wanted to get something visible done tonight since the majority of my art time was spent with ProCreate's equivalent of the lasso select tool XD

Or maybe I will keep it, who knows, not me! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#the great artscapade of 2022 #bobbi's being weird again #art #my art #friend oc #dozen years late christmas present #my roommate got new D&D toys #and now we're both lamenting the fact that the only people he has to play with think D&D is social justice activism and not #a fantasy war-game with RPG elements #like I can't properly articulate it largely because I'm not part of the game #nor do I want to be because I don't trust the DM to handle sensitive topics with nuance #but it's... there's a huge difference between social commentary and a power fantasy wank-fest #when my roommate told me the campaign was going to be ''political'' I was like ''oh cool so like espionage and shit?'' #and like IMMEDIATELY picturing all sorts of scenarios I'd love to run ppl through in a politcal campaign #like rooting out corruption in the king's court or discovering the king was deposed by a changeling and no one knew #instead my roommate gets the DM's power fantasy about stopping the Jan 6th insurrection but with goblins #and tonight my roommate mentioned that part of the world building was that all magic users had to be registered with the gubbment #because they're dangerous and need to be controlled you see #and it was basically a very heavy-handed allegory for gun control only without any ounce of nuance or self-awareness or honesty #and like??? that could be cool! I can also think of a dozen scenarios I'd love to play out with that! #do I trust the DM to handle any of this with grace nuance common sense and/or sensitivity? nOPE #which is why I didn't immediately ask to join when I was first told about it #like my first experience with this DM was with both of us as players and he was trying to do the atheist paladin thing #and he somehow managed to do it in such a way that it removed EVERYTHING that makes an atheist paladin interesting #like he SO WANTED to be Zerxus Ilerez before Zerx was a twinkle in anyone's eye #and somehow managed to do everything wrong in every possible way #he traded compassion for apathy faith for indifference and righteousness for My Way Or The Highway #irl this guy is one of THOSE atheists. you know the ones who want to destroy all religion but won't admit that's cultural genocide #he's very ''hurr durr guns scawy'' and ''hurr durr religion scawy'' and thinks that makes him Smart™ and Enlightened™ and Right™ #like I'm fairly liberal in my stances but any time I hear the term ''liberal brain rot'' I think of my roommate's DM and I can't argue

Barty in a British High School headcanons

He inappropriately moans during the minute silence

He's in detention all the time and being told about his "wasted potential" but still manages to do good in his exams

He's in isolation for a week of every month

He's stabbed a kid with a maths compass

He's definitely been caught wanking in the toilets before he's with Evan and blowing Evan in the toilets when they're together

He's asked the teachers about smegma

He asks the worst questions in sex ed that he knows the answer to but he wants the teacher to say "no you can't get a girl pregnant from being in the swimming pool at the same time"

There was a guy in my school who gave a girl one direction condoms for Secret Santa at Christmas, that's Barty behaviour

He throws wet toilet roll at the ceiling in the bathrooms so it sticks and dries up there just as an inconvenience for the caretaker

He calls all the teachers by their first names and acts like they're besties when they all hate him (and they all hate him)

-alone for over a week then alone again

-lost my doc and had to scramble

-illness hated the weather

-98.99% chance I’m alone this christmas

-got chewed out via text for lowering the humidifiers becsuse the cold mist makes me feel even worse

So. How’s everyone else’s holidays going.

#tiger’s roar #family wank #…like. i was Finally feeling near baseline #with the humidifiers lower and staying in my room watching cdramas while voice calling a friend #so much for that #…nevermind I basically got told that my pain wasn’t That Bad #MOM. I couldn’t stand or walk without crying out in pain that Thankfully eased somewhat with sleep and a hot bath #(but I had to skip out on chorister) #I am. TRYING. my very best. to housesit. and not be upset about being Alone with chores for like 2.5 weeks #and ALONE on christmas (while anticipating it despite Promises Promises) #but. I still have a debilitating illness #and mist AWFUL aside?? guess what! it’d be physically less taxing if I could turn the humidifiers off!! #I still cannot wash my left hand without making it hurt like shit #from overwork and cold and mist #yEAH it’s dumb it’s so taxing for me. why do you think I hate being ill so much!

@revretch​ and I are almost done this book, because we do both really love these characters and their spooky world to this day, but we’ve also now spent much of the book’s third act picking it apart and making fun of its terrible decisions, which include (SPOILERS)

All the other holiday worlds are just populated with humans?

The main antagonist ends up being the Sandman who puts almost everyone in existence to sleep except for Sally, so a LOT of the book is Sally wandering places where no one else is conscious.

Because of this, there is no character exploration or development for anyone but Sally, barely any time even spent with Jack.

This brings us to “Dreamtown,” an ancient world that pre-dates all holidays. Instead of some amazing fantasy land it’s just a city where everybody wears pajamas.

The only exception is that some people in Dreamtown are rag dolls, like Sally.

Oh no.

Yes, this author really went “never mind Sally’s abusive upbringing, she was just kidnapped and has a REAL loving family waiting for her!” I even had a great family myself and I hate this trope, it feels condescending to kids with shitty parents.

Sally, a character famous for being able to break apart and sew herself back together, not only never once uses this in the entire book but is terrified of injury.

In fact, Sally is terrified by a lot of things in this story. Ernshaw seemingly remembered that Sally was sweet, quiet and kind compared to the other Halloween monsters, but forgot that she fearlessly went after Oogie Boogie, that she was totally unimpressed by horror of any kind, and again that she is INVULNERABLE TO MOST FORMS OF HARM.

I know it’s a book for kids but it basically has less tension or character development than the movie it’s actually based on, a lot less. I can’t find much online about the author or her other work, but I get the sense she wasn’t really feeling it, and powering through it for that Disney paycheck. Also THE MOST OBNOXIOUS THING OF ALL: Sally’s core “dilemma” is that she’s not really enthused to be a queen.......until she visits the human world, briefly. Everyone there is asleep of course, but then she finds, I shit you not, QUEEN ELIZABETH II, and there are MULTIPLE PAGES devoted to how the sight of Queen Elizabeth inspires Sally to embrace a love of monarchy. The queen is described as having a “magnificence” even lying asleep in a chair, that just looking at her communicates the “soul” of a queen.

This book is Royal Family wank disguised as a Nightmare Before Christmas sequel.
