#compared to the average person

[chrisrin]

for the ask thing: 🔥

🔥 if you were in the life games, how would you play it?

this is such a fun question because i actually will be participating in a re-created double life series soon for fun with some friends!

i'm not that great at pvp, nor at redstone or traps or anything like that, but i dooo loooove me some roleplay and i do loooove me some improv. i like being the bad guy more than anything, but like a dark gray kinda bad guy. if i were at my peak ideal play, i'd be something along the lines of lawful evil. all about deals, all about technicalities, trying to one-up people, taking advantage of others, etc.

now am i skilled enough to do that? probably not. but that's the vibe i'd want my "character" to be.

#chris talks #ask game #mcyt #i also do play a shitton of ctm maps #so maybe i'm like OK at pvp #compared to the average person #play renderXR ctm maps #this is propaganda. #play them. theyre so fucking awesome #play corona trials PLEASE please PELASEEEE #play with some friends or in a duo it's so fuckin fun #same with Mapwreck #horrifeye by renderxr is also goated. render just has some great maps #some vechs maps also still hold up pretty well #not like #compared to the new stuff #but spellbound caves still hits that nostalgia nugget in my brain #waking up... inferno mines.... theyre so dope #do not ask me abt ctm maps i will be here all day

Wait I think I’m having energy for the first time in at least 5 years

#wtf #I still feel like total garbage and the amount of energy is probably very little #compared to the average person #but I can’t remember the last time I felt this

it's true that sometimes people will soften eiffel, forget that he's kind of a dick, and play up the more good-natured, goofier aspects of his personality while downplaying how self-centered he is and the amount of undeniable Cis Guy Behavior he is known to display. but his character arc only works the way it does because he is, despite everything, very lovable - it's there in how minkowski's reaction to eiffel's conviction is set up to mirror the expected audience reaction, and desire to believe the best in him. wolf 359 captures something very real in eiffel that i've never seen as authentically represented anywhere else: a sincere, kindhearted man who still perceives himself as the default type of person, who wants to do right by people, but perpetuates harm through selfishness and ignorance. he's held to account for it, but isn't condemned. it matters that he improves because the people holding him to account are doing it out of care for him, because they want him to be better, and to be in their lives.

#wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #i'm half asleep but. you know. #eiffel is a difficult person and a screw up in very average ways. and i think that makes some people LESS charitable to him #because it's far more likely you know someone with eiffel's faults compared to some others who are. objectively worse people but #in ways that might feel less personal. #and i think that's an important aspect of his character too but like. that's why i like him. he's a real guy. to me. #and i think the show wants you to like him too. at least as a character. it wants you to care what happens to him. #but i'm always surprised when eiffel is someone's 'i like him but would hate him irl' character because that is Not my experience.

I actually don't mind when people call politicians sociopaths, because they do deserve a stigmatizing label that unfortunately psychiatry is giving to the wrong people

i used to be all for illumis eyes being that way becos overtime as he had to endure more and more torture his eyes jus became completely lifeless and thats y theyre devoid of any color and all black n shit. but i came to the conclusion that that could jus be his thousand yard stare from everything hes had to endure. not that his eyes had "lost all color and life" sorta thing.

its evident that millukis eyes are also as black as his, so the black eyes are definitely a genetic thing (probs from kikyo) but i think the reason illu looks like *that* is jus a case of thousand yard stare from being traumatized beyond belief, and the black eyes jus kinda add onto it. and maybe thats y hes so fucked up compared to the rest of the zoldyck children.

#this is jus a THEORY ik its never been confirmed that illu was jus as or even more tortured out of all the zoldycks but its fs implied #i also dnt think hes completely emotionless either #he prolly jus has somewhat of a harder time processing and portraying proper emotion compared to the average person #for whatever reason #someone said somehwere that hes not emotionless jus expressionless and i couldnt agree mor #illumi zoldyck #hxh #hunter x hunter #my post

oh, i think you’re standing on my left foot

pairing: jamie tartt/gn! reader word count: 915 warnings: allusions to nsfw requested: no

establishing myself as a ted lasso fan and s2 jamie tartt ... i miss you and your mess!!!

if there's one thing you learned during your time tethered with jamie is that there are no good relationships, only boring ones.

Jamie watches you like prey. It’s the only real way to subtly attract what he wants. Lingering glances, a trailing hand, circling around your frame. To be wanted is to be hunted, you've learned that he is not interested in things that don't give chase.

It's a motivation, after all, a purpose that keeps your relationship relatively stable. You are caught within his bite, punctured right through your chest and stiches slowly pulling apart. He sews them back up through fleeting meaningless affection. If neither of you had that, this would have surely failed long ago.

So, you're not particularly bothered at his sudden departure from Richmond to Manchester. His physical presence comes without attachments and dialogue is exchanged through some messages. His appearance on a dating show wasn't anything of note. There's not enough shame in him to weigh a full ounce an even that description is grossly generous. You didn't mind him crawling back into your lap after his status had been stripped for him and he was a liability only you could handle.

You are not jaded by his worst qualities, it's something you've learned to embrace over short moments. Realistic is a term that sits well as coffee pours from his sponsored Keurig. It already looks dent and worn despite being a newer model, obvious marks of his most epic battle of configuring basic technology. The machine spurred to life only after a second and doesn't even fill your cup halfway. It's a shame because Jaime only buys shitty holiday creamers, lured by their supposed seasonal exclusivity.

He's forced you to bring your own, the splash of French vanilla hardly does anything to increase volume. Imposed domesticity, is there anything more romantic than that? Some would argue that's all this arrangement is.

"You're up early, eh?" His voice doesn't spark your attention.

The patting of his feet trickles alongside him as he treks downstairs. This house is fraught with empty crevices that echo any sound that grazes their walls. The sound of a spoon swilling in your cup is deafening, it's somewhere around seven in the morning. Jaime doesn't keep any clocks near him—your guess is purely intuitive, and this attempt of an early departure has gone unnoticed.

His arm slips past your waist and plants itself against the marble counter, a chaste kiss pressed against your collarbone follows in quick succession. He's nothing if not a man composed of unrecognized rhythm. "Gettin' real sick of me already?"

His canines lightly dig into your shoulder, teasing teeth marks that will somehow inevitably find themselves in planned positions later on. Jaime takes time with his hunt, what he's struck down is his alone. You don't altogether mind the implications of it.

His bare pelvis grazes against your backside but he's still soft. The grasp he's kept on your waist is tender alike to his tone. He's reeling you in for more. "Don't ask stupid questions. Your sudden modesty isn't doing you any favors."

Modesty is an exaggeration. If you hadn't chosen dramatics, you would have settled on slim dignity.

His hair tickles the back of your neck, face resting against the dip in your shoulder. "Least, I didn' beg you to stay. What an absolute sad sack of shit I would be." He would have done so though; you don't dare to say it out loud. Instead, a complacent grin rises upon your lips as you turn within his hold.

He would've stuttered through some messy halfhearted apology that only concerned itself with fibs if you hadn't taken him back after everything. You wonder if he would've resorted to some insincere confession. I really like you; the words would be chewed out into sticky syllables, molasses coating each one.

The thought would be so amusing if you didn't know that in another life, it would be true.

"The day Jamie Tartt has to beg to get his way will be when hell in unleashed."

Your hands languidly wrap around his neck, fingers loosing connecting near his upper back. Scratching a trail along his clothed spine and he hums in affirmation. Jaime shuts his eyes, keeping his hands on you and shallowly swaying.

"D'ya always have to speak so melodramatic?" Unsubtly, his grasp manages to travel down your waist. Small squeezes encouraging you to find a seat on his marble countertops. "Nothin' like oh yeah, Jamie, I think ya so smart and I want your cock."

His suggestions are something you often resist at first.

"You ever hear me say cock in this lifetime and I want you to hire a militia firing squad to go at me. Promise me that."

His first curls up nearly your shoulder, it's gone through a hesitantly travel you've only been acutely aware of. There's an instinct for Jamie to cup your face, you can sense his conflict over such an insignificant action. "I'm not good on promises, love."

"Yeah," his calloused fingers return to dig into your thighs. They aide you in finding some purchase on the cramped enclosure. In the meanwhile, you trail light pecks along his jaw. "I'm aware."

He wants you this morning, roaming down the length of your frame with precision. Just like he did last night and just like all the other nights where you'll stumble into his home with him half bruised. Somehow, he's been made the epitome of temptation in your eyes. You don't think prey often wish to be devoured.

It doesn't matter. You'll indulge him this once.

#obbbbsessed with jamie cause he's an asshole and that's what makes him stand out and his humility has made him average as a result #idk i feel like i am the person who loves writing a good situationship or realistic outcome compared to most writers #ITS COMPELLING ITS GOOD HES THE MAN WHOS KINDA YOUR BOYFRIEND BUT YOU HAVENT WENT ON A DATE WITH HIM #ted lasso x reader #jamie tartt X reader #ted lasso #jamie tartt

I feel like the fact that I can put "how to make windows 11 bearable" verbatim into a search engine and immediately get useful results says something about just how bad windows 11 is

Worst part of trying to draw Alvin is trying to figure out what an attractive guy looks like

...To be clear this isnt an "Ew guys are ugly" thing this is an 'AroAce deeply confused about what qualifies as generally attractive' thing

#Ive seen many a picture of Attractive ™️ people compared to Average™️ or Unattractive™️ people and #and im gonna be really fuckin clear with yall #i dont get it #i dont see the difference #good example So Many people have been talking about David Tennant being hot and like #he just looks like a regular dude ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #there is One Person i understand being attractive and that's Markiplier #maybe a couple people who i don't ever really think about #in general? #i dunno #those are very human looking people yall are drooling over #ya got like a book or handy pamphlet that's i can get hold or something?

#Wow. Okay ♡ #I love this episode. The animation is flawless. The drawings quality is out of the world for real. #I love this episode so much I'm so grateful so much care and dedication went to this sskk centered episode. #(Refraining to talk about what 5x03 could have been) #Sorry for repeating myself but seriously the illustrations this episode are so so pretty. #I rarely appreciate how Akutagawa is drawn in the anime but when it comes with this episode I really like how he looks too. #And Atsushi that I already like a lot in the anime on average‚ this episode is just fabulous. Handsome even. #Seriously I don't know who the animators are but I want to kiss them. This art style is one I dare say I like even more than Dead Apple– #that although is obviously more detailed is just... In comparison too rough for my personal taste? #The art style for this episode is very delicate and soft and I love it tons #And the directing is just great. No weird pacing or awkward ost choice. It's neat. #The reiterated placing ss/kk on opposite sides is neat. The lightening is likeable and especially the purple scene is super pretty. #The “don't compare me to him” scene is neat. The ss/kk final scene is AMAZING. It's gorgeous and stunning and awestriking and every other– #epitome in the world. It's like the only scene I believe turned out better in the anime that it is in the manga which is saying SO MUCH. #But it's really that good!!!!! My favourite anime ss/kk scene ever. #Aaaaaahhh please let me talk about it forever it's sooo pretty and especially poignant... #The heaven-like soft yellow light and how it contrasts with the bleak stormy background. But especially their softening features... #Man that scene. okay. Akutagawa's quiet surprise!!!! That scene is. Idk. Unfortunately chapter 88 exists– #but it's nearly the most romantic thing ever. #I'll leave it at this. It's not like the bsd animation suddenly became a masterpiece and this is still an episode– #I would say I like less than my least liked k/l/k episode (Trigger animation my beloved). But in comparison with the rest of the anime– #It's really bsd anime at its peak #random rambles #Aah peoples btw I'm probably going to spam ss/kk‚‚‚‚ a lot today. Apologies in advance unfollow me now etc. etc.

#i have emotional regulation issues #as in i dont react and bond the way normal people do i guess #and can be very detached to the point that people can cll me cold #i so my best to mirror positive bwhaviour. that is deemed acceptable through media and watching others #i DO feel #its just very dampened compared to the emotions of an average person #the tldr is that i am mentally unwell and this reflects on how i interact with people #but do understand you are impoetant wven though i can be very distant #ooc

i like to think charlie was just really annoying about the events of episode 8 for a while. whenever he has to do something he doesn’t want to he’s like remember what happened last time you forced me to do something? and he always uses the excuse ‘cmon i was literally born like yesterday’ for absolutely anything even when it’s been like half a year since it happened

#i know this is ooc but idont care #im gonna be Real charlie isn’t that interesting to me at all. there’s not really anything to him except he died and also the way it’s kind- #of implied that bad luck runs in his family like a curse or something. this isn’t a complaint im fine with how just. Average Dude he is #this is also amplified by how interesting pim is as a person to me. like he has so much more going on compared to charlie yknow #AGAIN. this makes charlie great in his own way bc the concept of just the most relaxed normal well adjusted guy ever getting into the- #situations he does is objectively funny and good #and that’s like… the whole joke of the show #smiling friends #charlie dompler

tbh ajin isnt like my faveeeee so far HOWEVER COMMA. nagai kei is so so entertaining. bombastic insane extremely violent never before seen domestic terrorism is occurring all around him and he could not fucking care less. kid just wants to eat a snack read a book and tell everyone around him why specifically they are a complete idiot. all that other shit is not his problem

#kei 'compared to the average person im really smart' nagai #he is sixteen and a massive dick and he makes it everyone's problem. love him #i just read a chapter that was just page after page of him calling somebody stupid and not wanting to do anything about all the terrorism #it was incredible #mine #ajin

well it was a good rant!

i was wondering if you re buddhist? bc of the way you talk about the jedi as monks and your feelings about that, but i don't want to assume anything ,:)

yes and no, i would say. discovering and learning about vipassana or insight meditation saved my life in college, and it opened up a path of wisdom that had previously been closed to me. the spiritual practice has been more and less present in my life at different times over the years, and i am currently living in the middle of nowhere and so i'm not active in a particular dharma community. i've meditated a lot (at times), and have a few different favorite teachers, both current and former monks, whose books i've read and lectures i've listened to that have been very formative, like pema chödrön or rodney smith at SIMS for example. so i am not a religious person, but have been deeply shaped by buddhist wisdom and have respect for buddhist cultural traditions, let's go with that.

#more buddhist than your average bear #but not much #i was raised secular pro-science with lots of comparative religion study #my dad is a hippie lmao but he wasn't very present in my life #i had to come to the practice myself #personal

I love short!Celebrían, but would also like to propose tall!Celebrían who is the equal of both her parents in height and is only “shorter” in relation to Elrond, who got the double whammy height genes from both Turgon “tallest of all the Children of the World except Thingol” and Thingol.  Imladris is very proud of their towering lady and lord, who are always glad to lend a hand in getting things from the top shelf.

#lotr #celebrian #elrond #galadriel and celeborn are canonically around 6'4'' so celebrían is also 6'4'' in this hc #it's just that when your also very tall husband is 6'6 1/2'' you look shorter in comparison #elladan and elrohir are comparatively more 'average' in terms of height (although still tall by all conventional standards) #but arwen gets the full height genes and until aragorn; is the second tallest person in imladris after her father #she and aragorn are actually the same height although aragorn insists that she's a hair taller

i wish my family members would stop having a complex about my size and physical strength because i have the same one in the opposite direction and i legitimately do not know what my body looks like

#yes i am marginally the shortest one in the immediate family. yes you have a funny nickname based on that #is it worth the fact that i genuinely dont know how im perceived by others and now feel a vague need to compensate for everything about me #'oh so small 🥺 you dont play hockey 🥺 you dont have a job rn 🥺' #FACT CHECK FUCKERS. I AM LITERALLY THE AVERAGE HEIGHT FOR AMERICANS REGARDLESS OF SEX. #I WOKE UP AT 530 TO GO SWIM AND THE ONE YR COMPARING ME TO WAS LATE FOR SCHOOL. #I MADE OVER 700 DOLLARS IN A 2 WEEK PAYCHECK THIS SUMMER WHICH COMES OUT TO 35 HOURS PER WEEK. GET FUCKED. #also im in 10 clubs and pulling As in 6 honors classes. sorry that wasnt big and strong enough for you #and then they take that and theyre like 'oh teehee the responsible one compared to the dummy incompetent men' #ok but we do know how he needs to take the trash out rigjt #like it also sucks that my brother is pigeonholed as 'quiet meathead' because they clap and cheer for him when he does anything #its a weird degree of surveillance that he shouldnt be subjected to as hes figuring out how to be his own person #but for everything they see about him i do 5 things unnoticed #him as Quiet meathead leaves room for me to be either the tiny delicate responsible one or the frivolous hysterical one #HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE THIS IS JUST GENDER STEREOTYPES #ok this time im really gonna do it /not serious
