Nothing will dispell the "the curtains were just blue" myth faster than writing something yourself, because the amount of pretentious symbolism i am putting in my silly little fanfics is ridiculous. I mean SO much with these words, literally every single one of them. This fic has twenty five typos and zero correct uses of punctuation but if there's curtains you bet your ass I put thought into what colour they were.

#writing #fic writing #like this is stuff i'm doing for fun with my perfectionism meter turned down as far as i can get it #and i am still thinking about it A LOT #talk to me about how in red string fic jgy perceives the memory block both as syrup and as mud but nmj thinks it feels like blood #it's just a thing in their heads that mentally feels kind of thick and sticky but they both made something different of it #it's about issues with cleanliness / lies as a way to craft an illusion of a better lopking world vs the constant violence nmj lives in

A classic: the werewolf you’re head over heels for strings you along for half your life, and you’re dumb enough to still follow him. To be his doggy if you will

#I hope I gave enough time with each page.. the pause button is always there I suppose #I’m going to be scanning this and the two issues before it so I can post them and make copies!#and so that it’ll be prettier to look at..rather than a video lol. ^__^#I’m really happy with this one. the last page has a different feel than the two previous but I’m still so fond of it #:) so happy #zines #diy zine #howling.txt #my art #um this is about atlas and scotch’s relationship. atlas is kind of really sucky to him but scotch genuinely lets it all happen #he’s soooo desperate for crumbs unfortunately

i kind of miss when he had genuine beef with a 12 year old and wanted him dead.

#dont change for anyone grief.#art #pathologic #bad grief #pathologic 2 #ill be honest his pathologic one drip is kind of unbeatable to me #he has the same leather based appeal as rubin in that category and i am not keen on giving it up #child based gang violence aside i cant argue that they didnt maintain some amount of nonbinary swag in 2 its just a different kind #its not the same kind of swag #its still there but hes a different guy #i really do appreciate pathologic two grief though. i appreciate him more for every interaction i accidentally find him in #my first playthrough i didnt see him at aspitys the morning rubins being hunted for sport the First time in the warehouses #i still liked him when he wanted notkins head on a stake but hes easier to like without all that baggage i suppose #anyways if you cannot tell my fixation has reared its unsightly head once more and i have not yet broken free #nor do i have any real desire to which is the root of the issue. probably.#in the meanwhile enjoy more comics made on scrap construction paper in an afternoon.#much peace and love. until next time.

Sometimes i remember a comics moment i randomly came across somewhere, where Sam Wilson mentiones a musical and Steve Rodgers says he doesn't like musicals, to whitch Sam goes "Guess that means you really are straight" and even tho i don't care about Cap America or the Avengers, the moment stuck in me for that quote by Sam. And like....Sci, any ideas if straight men actually don't like musicals or is that bullshit?

actually i think i know more gay men who hate musicals than i know straight men who hate musicals. i've had a drag queen stop me point blank when i was about to sing a barbra streisand song, and i know so many gays who pointedly hate abba. so based on my experience i think the inverse is true. most of the straight men i know are kind of impartial about musicals, but gay men? hate.

my theory is that a lot of gay men don't want to fall into stereotypes, maybe. but thaaaaat's just a theory! a gay theory.

#sci speaks #i'm trying to understand the gays. they are a mystery to me.#i've seen a lot more toxic masculinity coming from gay men than i have from straight men.#i think it makes sense. they have less women in their lives. so they reckon with a lot more masculinity. more dick measuring.#also gay men have some of THE most unhealthy romantic relationships i've ever seen in my life.#this isn't a blanket statement on everyone but just from what i've seen. it's such a strange pattern i've observed.#lesbians? healthy. straights? usually healthy. gay men? universally a tire fire that makes me say “if you hate each other so much ??”#“why are you together??????????”#i have never met a cis gay mlm couple in real life that was healthy. every single one of them made my eyes widen in horror.#i want them to be healthy. please treat each other better.#the number of bitchy bitchy fights i've seen between mlm couples in public that make me so terrified #but i know mlm relationships in general are usually less... affectionate than wlw relationships. even and especially friendships.#just an observation.#i hate to say that there is a definite difference between amab vs afab experiences when it comes to relationship dynamics but.#of course there is. there is. as much as i want to say gender and sex do not matter. it really does.#it makes a difference. it does.#which is kind of why i'm glad i was born in the body i was. when people say “trans means you feel you were born in the wrong body”#im like.. i don't think that's true. i don't think that's true for me.#i wouldn't be me if i wasn't born the way i was. and i want to be me. but i'm a boy. i'm a boy but in the body that i have.#my body is still a boy's body. because i live in here.#sorry this went off on a tangent.#but yeah i know my brain would be different if i was amab. and i don't want all those other issues.#i think the only reason i'm so peaceful and serene is because i'm afab. and afabulous.#i see cis guys and im like.. yeah i don't want what you got.#once again! lucky to be me! i'm lucky. im lucky i have a vargooba. thank fuck for that!#couldve been so much worse off. could've been born with a dick and would be fighting for my life right now.

Went to the doctor just for a check up and he basically just told me "your body just processes sugar very well! :) :) :) It's a good thing! :) :) :) It can't possibly be the source of your symptoms even though eating fixes it :) :) :)" But there was also a moment when talking about my iron deficiency that is possibly one of the funniest things a doctor has ever said to me, up with the cardiologist who said "you're a medical mystery": He was going over my blood test results, and said "Your iron levels haven't gone up at all, they are still extremely low, but you're not anemic anymore" And I was like how am I not anemic anymore??? And he said "Your hemoglobin levels have gone up...somehow..." while frowning at the blood test results on his computer. It was very "somehow, palpatine has returned" lol

#the person behind the yarn #medical mention #food mention #he did at one point say the iron issue is probably an absorption issue #which. give this is either my third or my sixth absorption issue (depending on if you count electrolytes)#I'm not exactly surprised but I'm also not thrilled #at some point it stops being 'your body is very good at processing' and starts being #'your body just yeets all nutrients out of it!'#I am on two different medications to make me retain salt more #like. one that is 100% the entire reason I take that med #one that that's a side effect of that med strong enough they thought I shouldn't take both together #until they did bloodwork to check (and found it was appropriate to take both)#and I STILL need a RIDICULOUS amount of salt #and sometimes! even with two different meds and like four different kinds of salt pills! I straight up do not retain salt!#I get super dehydrated and cannot fix it for days!#and I am more tired of it than I perhaps realized #just real tired of doctors going 'your body is just so efficient at processing :) :) :)'#I am already doing all the low blood sugar things. smaller more frequent meals lots of protein lots of complex carbs #not looking for advice just wanted to share the 'somehow...your hemoglobin has gone up'#because I do genuinely find that really funny

I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I think a big reason why I'm so chill about the changes made to the PJO show from the books is because I kind of look at each other as their own seperate canon.

Like, I read a lot of anime and manga, and anime adaptations have a huge habit for changing plot points for various reasons, and as a fan of said anime and manga, I've found that I can enjoy both versions of the same story even with the differences when I look at them as their own universe or canon. That's not to say I don't want them to be faithful or true to the source material, but if a scene or situation plays out differently for a logical or entertaining reason, than I can still appreciate that deviation from the manga even if I still like the other original version of that part more. And I can even like the reversal way if I feel an anime does something better than even the manga. But if I want to, I can look at certain moments as more canon than others because I got 2 different versions of that same scene or moment.

And, I don't know, I kind of apply that reasoning to the PJO series as well, mainly with the books, the show, and even the musical (not the movies put that right back where it came from). So far I'm loving the TV show, and while I miss some of the things they changed (like the pink poodle), this adaptation really is doing a great job with staying true to the heart and spirit of the original book that I personally am not even really bothered by the changes, especially when I remember that the books will always still be there with it's own version, or canon, of events.

Like, I will say 1 thing I adore in the books that isn't really in the show is the fact that a lot of Percy and Annabeth's "rivalry" during TLT has more to do with the rivalry between Poseidon and Athena. I just really like on how this adds a level of "forbidden friendship/love" to their relationship 'cause I personally eat the forbidden relationship trope up, especially when it's done well like with Percabeth.

Yet, even if this isn't really the reason percabeth have beef with each other in the show, I can still appreciate and enjoy that according to the show's canon, they have issues because they genuinely have problems with each other as actual people rather than their parents' rivalry, because at the end of the day, that's the PJO TV show canon, and I can always turn to the books for that version of Percabeth's "rivalry", as that is the PJO book canon.

Same goes for the characters too. I will always have and love my dark haired Percy and blond haired Annabeth in the books, but I can also welcome and love Walker's Percy and Leah's Annabeth from the show. And so far, they along with Aryan are KILLING IT as those characters.

I can love both versions of the characters.

I can love both versions of the same story.

I can look at both versions as they own seperate canon or mix them together if I so wish too (especially since both versions of PJO are written by the same guy)

And that's ok. The adaptation doesn't have to be a complete copy of the books. It doesn't have to have things play out eactly the same way. The characters don't have to look exactly the way they are described as in the books. And that's ok. I will still always have the books to love and appreciate, but I can also start to love and appreciate the new adaptation for it's new spin and twists to the same story that sets it apart as it's own canon while still staying true to the spirit of its predecessor.

Anyway, sorry if I'm not making a lot of sense. I just think the people complaining about the changes in the show are looking at it all the wrong way. The show has it's own canon just as the books have their own canon, or even the musical. At the end of the day, isn't that kind of cool to have different versions of the same story and characters? Doesn't it give you so many more options to look at the story in different ways that you can prefer or choose from? Doesn't it give you new versions of canon that you choose from? And really, as long as the PJO adaptation, or any adaptation for that matter, stays true to the heart and spirit of the original story and characters, do the changes made really matter?

#anyway sorry for the long post #I've just been seeing a lot of people complaining about the PJO making changes from the books and I thought I give my 2 cents #& I thought about how the show dies make enough changes to certain events or plotpoints that you could look at it as its own seperate canon #and how that actually is kind of cool as it gives us another version of the same story and characters #it's actually really neat to have different versions of the same story ya know #its like. if I ever want the Percabeth that has more of a 'forbidden relationship' thing going on. there's always the book canon to fall on #likewise if I want the percabeth where they're rivals because they have genuine issues w/ eachother. there's the TV show. ya know?#and if I want the Athena that I can at least somewhat believe might actually care for Annabeth. there's the book canon #whereas if I want the Athena I straight up wanna strangle from the getgo. I now got the TV show for that😊#same with the characters descriptions #I personally still imagine Percy and Annabeth as they are described in the books #but I am positvely loving Leah and Walker's portrayal of TV Percy and Annabeth so much. especially in these last few episodes.#and don't get me started on how much I love Aryan as Grover. he's the GOAT (literally🤭)#anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk #I just think its neat that Ive now got 2. even 3 versions of PJO canon that I can love together and individually at my disposal now #and I just think the people who are complaining about the show aren't seeing it that way and that's why they're whining about changes #like. chill guys. we still have the books. but now we also the show and musical to give us new versions of the same story and characters #and is that not amazing when you think about it?#percy jackson series #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackson tv show #percy jackson #percy and annabeth #athena #annabeth chase #grover underwood #book vs show #percy jackson books #percy jackson musical #percabeth

one major difference i have found between service industry work (in my case food service but this is widely applicable to similar jobs) and other public-facing positions is that the job itself is often very similar because people is the same, it's just in service everyone approaches you already thinking they're right and you're a fucking idiot and its their god given right to disrespect you, where in other positions even if they are not nice to you they usually acknowledge that you know more than them on issues pertaining to your job. like the difference in behaviour from people who see you as serving them vs helping them is unreal. i am doing literally the exact same things. customer is always right mentality did irreparable damage to the fabric of society

#good idea generator #i loveee the library front desk everyone is polite and people will just ask you anything #they assume so much knowledge and access to data #ill be like 'just one moment let me look that up in the system' [googles name of school + upcoming events]#also not in a mean way but i never realized until i worked here how little anybody is googling anything #i think its funny and i also love to google things for people so i am perfectly suited to this #and some questions even though they are googleable the issue is more that the person isnt totally sure what theyre asking #but like. the library hours are visible on the home page. and outside the building that you just walked into on a sign #PPL DO NOT READ SIGNS. i knew that from other jobs but good lord people do NOT even GLANCE at signs #ppl would fully walk past like 4 signs about a specific thing and proceed to ask me a q about the thing. after waiting in a line #constantly CONSTANTLY ppl are trying to enter or exit through locked doors. clambering over closed signs to do so #its someones job when the library closes specifically to point out the signs and direct ppl to an open exit #and still often people will get up to the automatic doors and be baffled and confused as to why they dont open #but like even this i dealt w/this at my food service job and it was so frustrating #bc when you had to confront these people they would get MAD AT YOU. furious that they didnt read a sign telling them where to line up #but at the library people are polite and apologetic so you know it's not malice or entitlement ppl are just kind of inattentive #monumental difference tbh i actually love front counter so much people are so fun #and i like it when nobody is actively trying to kill me with their mind while we speak

my favourite.. well i guess it could be called "happening" in media, i think is when I'm reading about some edgy/dark, horror-adjacent "everyone's constantly having a bad time" setting or story, in a book or a game, and one if not several of the guys in there are just gay offhand. it's a very specific thing i enjoy when its in these horrible (in-universe, emotionally) environments but they're still there

no homophobia no titilation. romantic relationships (even het ones) have zero presence or importance really. but Just Letting You Know: this character is probably a closeted lesbian

diversity win: this mercenary is bisexual! he mentions he has sex with men. diversity ????: a coin flip rng roll can sever both of his arms and crush his sanity for the rest of the game. diversity i-don't-know: this can happen to anyone so its not because hes into men, you just have shit rolls

#i don't know what it is but i...like? appreciate it?? yeah its just kind of there. this is not the kind of Media where its important at all #its so funny but also good 4 you. sex with a man before we go get infected with the parasitic horrors of the brain and try to kill our pals #yaoi in mortal peril. yuri in mortal peril. normal in mortal peril. i see no difference: the horrors are unending #darkest dungeon #wolfsmund #lisa the painful #fear and hunger #side comment: i was watching a video particularly on the last one and i find it funny that the reviewer added a warning about it #do not play this game if you're sensitive about anything. what do you mean? anythinh. This Game Contains Scenes type of warning #but also thats the exact warning i need to give whenever i talk about Wolfsmund. if you have any issues..about anything just don't look tbh #sorry do i seem like a wweirdo for saying WE NEED A TRANSMASC KNIGHT WHO GETS HIS HEAD BITTEN OFF TOO or some shit HDKFBBJE #body horror #gore #ACH SORRY i shouldve prolly added those tags for filtering out my weird text for ppl at the FRONT of the post. do you still like me.#armour clanking

I think it’s kind of ironic that tubbo has been the only one actively trying to figure out what has been going on with the eggs, has voiced clearly that he is playing because he wants the eggs back, has been the first to always suggest theories around the eggs and the cursed team, but doesn’t even have an egg himself.

i also found it ironic that the ones who actually have eggs to find have totally given up

even though they’d spent almost half a year with them, and only a few weeks in purgatory, the switch from pill-eating president and traumatic bird cage, from federation worker killer and people trying to cover up their own sadness and longing for their eggs back, to the switch of ‘just kill my egg, i don’t want to be here anymore’ in one day makes it seem like there wasn’t even a connection between the players and eggs at all, which was pretty surprising to me.

that was all it took? one day? did you even care in the first place? or are you finally so desperate to feel happy again that you will give up what you’ve been wanting for so long? are you so tired of being knocked down that you’ll give up what has made you happy for months, just to feel something even somewhat close to that? to happiness?

i think that the swerve from sadness of missing eggs to desperation of getting something no matter what, even at the cost of the eggs is so interesting.

like, how are they going to act towards their egg if they come back? will they be happy? will they say that they never gave up hope no matter what, even if it’s a lie? will they straight-up say that it wasn’t worth saving them? that they would have rather not gone through the hell that was purgatory and would have rather left them on egg island?

I think it creates a really interesting dynamic between the eggs and players, because there are so many opportunities for change and possible conflict that can happen between the eggs and their parents.

would the eggs be mad? would they say that they didn’t care? would they forgive them? would they live in bliss thinking that their parent cared for them no matter what? would they be angry knowing what they had to go through?

would they be mad knowing that their parent’s team won to sacrifice their siblings? would they be disappointed in their lack of care for one another on the island despite living together on the same island for over half a year?

would they be angry that they actually played the game, instead of working together? would they wallow in sadness at their siblings’ deaths and be conflicted at the thought of what their own parents had to do to save them? to sacrifice and kill others only to learn that they enjoyed doing it?

I want egg and parent / egg and egg conflict so bad

the fandom couldn’t even handle the tallulah and richarlyson painting dilemma though so maybe not

#I’m still mad about the tallulah and richarlyson painting dilemma #there was so much miscommunication laced into that situation #and you guys decided it was a ‘Who’s right’ instead of ‘why aren’t they understanding each other ’ kind of thing #none of them were right! tallulah is an immature child because she has no life experience and gets attached to anything that relates #to her family because she has daddy issues and richarlyson blatantly refuses to tell anyone why he hates those paintings and #his evil alter ego so it was just miscommunication after miscommunication because they both held attachment to the painting #in different ways with tallulah refusing to give it to him because she became attached to it and richarlyson because #that painting is a literal part of him that he despises and will go out of his way to destroy #qsmp #whoops rambled for a bit in the tags #I need egg and egg/parent conflict #qsmp purgatory #qsmp eggs #qsmp tallulah #qsmp richarlyson #qsmp tubbo

the main problem I've had with trying to do 'your PC as other races' art is that when other people have done it, including ryoko kui's changeling comparisons, they always keep the character's original palette-- and that ends up being an immediate stumbling block for me when the first place I'd be inclined to start is with Elyss, whose main point of difference from an ordinary human is that she is green

#and with elyss like-- okay being an ordinary human would affect not only her bone structure and skin but even her eye color #because it's a pretty-close-to-natural sort of lavender grey BUT I already know human!elyss would have brown eyes #so does 'racebend your blorbo' human!elyss also look like theoretically canon human!elyss who looks like her mom?#in that case what about halfelf or gnome elyss-- am I basing those on human elyss or on canon elyss?#because elyss' light eyes are specifically part of her Water Themed Palette--#-- but light eyes with dark skin and hair are really common naturally for gnomes and elves where they're more rare in humans #AND you start to run into the problem of 'here's a gnome with gnomish features and also a different palette' does it even look like her??#and if I have to take 'what would be normal for this humanoid' into account for elyss whose race is such an unusual case--#-- it gets me into the weeds with like... well specifically melliwyk who has dark skin white hair and bright turquoise eyes #that's not going to occur naturally in ANY other race except MAYBE a very unusual elf but like...#okay so do I just keep her palette anyway? but that feels kind of weird compared to how I have to handle elyss??#ALSO I honestly feel like 'how does the hair color and texture translate' is just as valid as ear shape and bone structure for exploring--#-- the different morphologies of dnd races- and just as interesting to me- but you run into the 'are they still recognizable' issue again #TL;DR MY BIG PROBLEM IS OVERTHINKING IT AS ALWAYS #about me #my OCs #elyss #melliwyk

kind of weird to realise everybody in my immediate family except me was baptised in the name of russian saints specifically

#like i don't think it's A Problem per se. i don't think Canceling Saints is a worthy thing to put time and effort into lol #but it's like. it's the trust that my parents put into those stories three consecutive times at different points in their life #and much like everything else those stories are inseparable from the russian imperial project #st alexander was a medieval warlord st elizaveta was a relative of the romanovs #and again them being Bad People is not my point. maybe they were good! maybe they were just and kind and pious! they're still a part of it #and i'm probably taking more issue with this than anyone in my family and overthinking #tldr another awkward consequence of colonialism and breaking away from it i suppose #mari rambles

finally found a place to read With the Light online and i'm thrilled; if you haven't read this manga i do Legitimately recommend it

#N posts stuff #like don't get it wrong it Is Not a series about being autistic it Is a series about raising an autistic kid #but also don't be put off by that because it's legitimately a series that I feel Loves autistic people with its whole being #it's kind of a teaching manga so it showcases a lot of different opinions/characters/conflicts/etc. but the Framing is very consistent #in that the manga is Extremely of the opinion that autistic people are People who deserve to be Valued and Accepted As They Are #the onus for change is never put on autistic individuals the framing is basically Universal in the 'the World needs to change #to be more accepting' -- it's a very Social Model depiction of autism that ALSO never veers too far into the #'autism isn't even Really a disability' fallacy; it's very much a 'A lot of autistic people will need constant support in a variety of ways #throughout their lives but that isn't the roadblock preventing them from having their own lives; ableism in society is the roadblock'#the first two chapters are the hardest to get through bc they take place before Sachiko has any real understanding of autism and #so she's isolated and stressed out and the ignorance makes it difficult for her to care for Hikaru properly (there's also a lot of #other characters Blaming her for what's going on which goes unchallenged at this point though that changes later); but after she #understands what autism is she's Firmly in Hikaru's corner for the rest of the series - you can skip right to ch 3 without a problem #if you're not interested in reading about that initial conflict #there's still a Lot of conflict ofc but by then the chapters have some of my favorite moments so i don't want to advocate skipping #them; like Hikaru's daycare teacher explaining how Hikaru's difficulty speaking is the same as other kids' troubles with #things like jump-roping/etc.; and then a mother who has An Issue with Hikaru's presence in her daughter's class realizing the #depth of the problematic opinion bc Her mother (who had a stroke) faces similar ableism from her peers #i'm cutting this post off b4 the tags get Too long but if you're curious but still hesitant man. send me an ask and i will Happily #write an insanely long essay about how much i love this series; i have all the books i'm not excited about the online availability #for Me i'm excited bc i've been wanting to rec this manga for like almost a full decade and i can finally give you a link instead of #saying 'well. you can find used copies sometimes' lol

Yo, fellow Lysara collaborators

I was thinking about Universe and how she's percieved by the gods and their relationship and

Do I have to ask the Almighty GF questions considering the litteral concepts of the world making the materium as a whole even exist are a bunch of angsty teens with mommy issues, with the world creator as Mommy Issues Giver Incarnate???

#hel is talking #lysara #lysara ibruael #hel stories #that's /lh but still i'm thinking about the psychology of lore and the fact that #even though it stemmed from the same base #gods in Azilis are wholly different and devoid of any mommy issues of that kind

I hate how people automatically assume that all people with adhd are low need or that we can mask.

I also hate how so many symptoms that autism and adhd share are seen as autism exclusive.

I’m not just talking about neurotypicals doing this, I see these problems all the time even in neurodiverse communities.

I hate feeling like I’m intruding into autistic spaces when I participate in conversations about symptoms I’ve experienced for my entire life. I hate that I spent years absolutely terrified that something was deeply wrong with me because my body would move itself on its own without my input in sometimes violent ways whenever my mind was particularly active, only to be told by the neurologist I begged my mother to take me to for it that I was just stimming, something I’d known about for years but had always been told was an autism exclusive symptom.
