#dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #marcille donato #winged lion #better drawn mdzs #<- art tag I really need to change. #Turns out the secret to drawing better was having someone offer you money to draw. #I jest. I just had a blast with this prompt and I seriously appreciate the commissioner for letting me have the chance to push myself. #And for giving me permission to post! Hi! If you're seeing this: thank you again! #Let me be clear: no I don't quite know where this came from. It just happened. My chakras unblocked for a few hours. #You too can unblock my chakras with money and commission me to draw cool art B*) #We are so far off from when this is relevant so this one is really just for the manga readers. *****Spoiler notes ahead: #So...As someone who read dungeon meshi monthly for many years....I admit to not seeing Marcille becoming the dungeon lord coming #Hilarious too; re-reading and watching the show made me realize that this outcome is pretty strongly foreshadowed. #Ryoko Kui distracts you by putting the focus on Laios being the 'one to break the curse' but nope! #This was the culmination of her goals and desires. #And - for those who did not have to suffer as us monthly readers did: #YES. WE NEARLY ALL THOUGHT THAT MARCILLE HAD TO DIE. #The last 20 or so chapters were a constant spiral of: 'Oh this story isn't going to have a happy ending is it?' #She just keeps losing herself! The winged lion plays her like a puppet and she is his perfect doll! So full of conviction!

you say machete has to be closeted then why's he always wearing them little heels

Maybe he thinks he's a tiny bit nicer looking in them.

#no in fact he's just a little ahead of the curve let me try to explain #again I'm not a historian I'm just sharing what I've read I might be misremembering stuff so don't quote me on this #high heels became extremely fashionable in the early 1600's probably just a few decades after Machete's time #and they were originally worn by men #because they were inspired by Persian riding boots #if your shoes had heels you'd have easier time keeping your feet in the stirrups (think of cowboy boots) #Europeans saw them thought they looked snazzy and they became wildly popular in noble circles fairly quickly #for some hundred years or so high heels were the epitome of class wealth power and status and they were essentially genderless #remember that concepts of masculinity and femininity are fluid and change over time #things that were seen as manly a few centuries ago may seem downright effeminate to a modern viewer #it's all matter of perspective neither is objectively more correct than the other #they started to separate into men's heels and women's heels around mid 1700's iirc but the changes weren't massive even then #and only truly went out of vogue when the French Revolution hit in 1789 #and people all across the continent were suddenly put off by everything that reminded them #of the frivolousness and extravagance of royalty and aristicracy #so in his canon timeline I don't think people are looking at him and going “hmmm that's pretty gay” #because heels hadn't become gendered yet #maybe he likes how they accentuate his already tiny paws and make his legs look even longer than they are #he's interested in fashion or at least likes to dress nicely in high quality garments #he tries very hard to look his best despite never really feeling comfortable in his skin #he was a real shrimp as a kid and even though he eventually grew up to be a beanpole he might still find the extra height appealing #no one's going to look down on him ever again #I admit the way I draw them is a lot more modern than the true historical style at the time but not outrageously so #artistic freedom and all that in the end I'm not aiming for 100% accuracy #modern au Machete has no excuses though he's just a little bit fruity #if the guy feels empowered by wearing little clip cloppers let him #answered #anonymous #Machete

me age seven being sat down in front of the school’s district child psych lady and being given strange, simple spatial puzzles to solve and then long, complicated worksheets and hammering my way through them at the speed of light while having zero comprehension what their purpose was or why i was here: this is urgent! i have to get a good grade in Weird Puzzles, Or Else, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve,

#kjalkjsdalkjasdl mrs button was a nice lady but not one adult in my childhood ever seemed to notice what to me now seems like #a pretty obvious case of the autisms #then again maybe they just didn't look as hard unless it was *really* obvious back then . it was like. what. 2000? a couple years later #everybody was talking about autism but not when i was six or seven then it was usually just when it was Very Visible #a couple years later my cousin who's more visibly on the spectrum than me got her diagnosis so young that she's pretty much always had it #which is...well i think it's just made her life difficult in a different way. people underestimate her or don't treat her like she's her age #but then she's always had the opportunity to get accommodations and people are sometimes more forgiving when she can't do something #whereas i got labeled 'kid that should be ahead of the game' from a pretty young age and then when i struggled adults either ignored it #or it was just a huge hassle to them and even i could see it exasperated them to have to work around me #but because mrs button (nice lady but what were you thinking) hadn't told them to treat me like a kid with a developmental disorder #they didn't do that in good OR bad ways . so i never got any accommodations with school stuff i struggled with which was a fair bit #i wasn't supposed to need extra testing time in a quiet room or tutoring with math or help organizing my abysmally scattered things #the only time i DID get that was in sixth grade when i was sort-of friends with this kid jonathan who was Very On The Spectrum #he wasn't really a talker unless it was about whatever he was reading which suited me fine so we just kind of existed in each other's space #and his TSS was this very smart and nice lady who had clearly clocked that Something Was Going On With Me and even though it wasn't like #her JOB she made a little bit of time for me. mostly with emotional stuff (i think i was under the impression she was a therapist?) #but if i had some problem with being unable to keep friends or being frozen out by the kids i wanted to be liked by (happened often) #she'd be able to just like. be there she'd make the time . wish i could remember her name

[criticaaaaaaaal]

me about to read a shadowpeach fanfic only to notice that its tagged with “wukong is a bad person” or “wukong traumatized macaque” or “wukong hate club” or anything akin to that

#critical watches monkie kid #OK . OK I WILL SAY: #i totally understand evil/dark wukong aus. i get it. i like them. i appreciate them. i understand #and i can see WHY ppl write them. wukong is a character you can make mean easily #and mac is a character a lot of people relate to #and a lot of people really like him (i do too!) #i can see WHY ppl dote on him in fanfics or make him very much a victim of outside things #i see you and i appreciate you #but also i just. man. i feel like people forget that wukong is actually a good person and just want to always write him as this - #one dimensional abuser or something #and again : if you DO want to just write him as that as a fic au or SOMETHING by all means go ahead #no hate here #i think im just. :( i just wanna read a fanfic i guess where wukong isnt this one dimensional monster #if youre gonna make him evil/dark but keep it in line with the original characterizations (esp the ones in monkie kid) at least ......... #idk ......... make it like . make it more then one dimensional? gah #this post is spurred on by the fact i saw a fanfic a lot of shadowpeach ppl were chatting about #and i looked into it (i havent read it. yet. i might) #and it seems to have the same premise of macaque is trying to escape wukong who is a nasty abuser! #and like. ok. im SURE its a lot more than that (i hope) #i jusssssstrttttttt #blaarghhhh

Added a fuck ton of filtered tags because I had a breakdown 🤪

For the foreseeable future, this blog will be pretty much exclusively for processing my feelings or posting shit that makes me happy. I know that it’s important to share stuff that’s going on in the real world and to not turn a blind eye, but I need this to be a safe space for me

#m rambles #had an excellent day today #ruined it for myself by reading too much about everything depressing happening in the world right now #now it feels like I’ll never be happy again 🙃 #so yeah I think I’m at the ‘you need to step away’ point #I’m not ignoring what’s happening #I’m just trying to make it so I don’t want to die #if you for some reason feel like this is unreasonable or selfish of me just go ahead and block me #trust me I feel unreasonable and selfish enough without your input

[kingdomoftyto]

...BIG FEELS AND BIG PLOT DEVELOPMENTS AT THE END OF THAT BOOK, HUH

#Tyto reads WoF #i know it's not the most pressing issue what with the vengeful ex-Queen and the murderous sister and all #but I still want to point out how alarming it is that the new crew are all going to be wearing seemingly radioactive rocks as jewelry now #Turtle please don't pick up strange rocks that give off their own heat for the love of all that's good #ANYWAY yeah what the actual frick is going on with Darkstalker huh. I genuinely do NOT know whether he's trustworthy or not #desperately lonely and unfairly demonized? absolutely. truly cares about Moon as a friend? I think so. #capable of integrating peacefully into modern dragon society without letting his own ego turn him into the monster he denies ever being? #....... 😬 remains to be seen #god and there's Scarlet's mysterious new accomplice(?) with the maddeningly vague physical description and also THE SCROLL(!!!!) #and i just realized we failed to get resolutions in this book for EITHER the vision of Turtle attacking Anemone OR #Flame's unique and frightening ability to sense and/or attack mindreaders???? #where the HECK are we going with Flame I am going lowkey INSANE over him #ugh frick and Umber and Sora are both on the run too...!! this book is nearly as cliffhangery as Dark Secret #(though thankfully i prepared for this by checking the next book out ahead of time so i wouldn't have to wait LOL) #uhh buhh final thoughts before i force myself to go to sleep: #I love Moon and everything going on with her but I do feel like on some level it's even more of a slap in the face for poor Starflight #that the only tribe to get multiple POV characters in this first. like. extended arc(?) appears to be the NightWings #and Starflight himself doesn't get any of the tribe's unique defining features or abilities #i mean i guess the same is sort of true of Sunny and yes i know it was the POINT of book 4 that the tribe had no powers #but still idk it just feels like kicking the poor boy when he's already down. in addition to him literally getting beaten up again #(... now watch me be a total fool and the arc actually extends past book 8 or something making this point moot lol) #(I'm only assuming it ends at 8 bc that's where the previews in the back of the previous books have stopped) #EDIT: LOL yep turns out this arc does extend out to book 10 and the other POVs are Turtle and Qibli so I stand corrected. #that's what I get for nightblogging

pining and desperately waiting for chloe gong to put the fhh trigger warnings on her website so i can see if "character death" or "major character death" is on the list to see if i'm right about potential fake deaths/deaths :)))))))))))))))))

#honestly not sure if i want to know ahead of time but i'm checking anyway #once it's released i'm just going to read it as fast as i can then have a mental breakdown then read it again #chloe gong #secret shanghai #foul lady fortune #foul heart huntsman #flf #fhh #if it's up before the book is released anyway

Something about the ‘which would you rather have dean? Peace or freedom?’ Line in context to sam and deans characterizations… How Sam chose freedom ever since he walked out and went to college at 18 and how Dean generally was framed as the peacemaker.

#I’m on 3 hours of sleep I don’t think this makes grammatical sense #BUT I’m chewing on something here #’which would you rather have dean?’ #dean would 100% choose peace if it meant having his brother safe #but Sam just went ahead and chose freedom for him #once again I am Suuuper tired tho so I may wake up in a few hours and read this post and go #’what the fuck was i doin?’ #anyways goodnight lmao #lea speaks

I confess, I am... kinda excited ; w ;

#sometimes i feel like all i do is just work and survive #once in a while get myself a takeout #i work so much and what for #i never buy anything it's so depressing to think about #since bookdepository closed even my occasional 'buy a book i'd never read' shenanigans stopped #i was lately contemplating buying a new pc‚ and while that's undoubtedly a treat‚ it does fall within my very strict: #'a useful electronic' category of allowed expenses #like i was wondering between ps5 / pc but again those are planned for for years now‚ and hardly can be called 'indulgence' given how #one is for work and the other is years overdue since i was waiting for it to be less expensive.. #ah‚ i babble 🙈 #i did decided i will not share this irl though #i figure‚ i want it to be my private little positive treat #without the unnecessary opinions about how a 'book is not worth that much' #i mean i agree but did you see the book #it's the sexiest book i've ever seen in my life #i am not sure if i'll go ahead and get oathbringer in a few years #but wok-wor are literally the two books i love the most #my most beloved #my light in the dark #-coughs- ok ok. #yeah. #this is the most you heard me babble here in a while -laughs- #i've had a rather rough few weeks and has not been present the way i wanted to be-- those i have not yet answered to-- i will-- soon. #buns.txt

idk. I understand why people get very up in arms about harry potter (even though I do think that the pendulum has swung too far toward "these books are pure evil"), but it does bother me when folks say "don't pirate it it's just as bad." I could vaguely understand that if it were about, like, not blogging about it, because I can see that that might be "providing engagement" (I loosely disagree with this not only because tumblr is largely unmonetizable but because the average tumblr doesn't have many followers and is unlikely to make a dent in the prevailing anti-harry potter mindset), but it seems to me that this is becoming less "don't financially support jkr because she uses those funds to campaign against trans people," which is an extremely valid and important approach, and more "don't consume jkr content because it is capable of corrupting you and turning you into a jkr minion," which I oppose on principle

#me bitching #people do have brains and are capable of consuming content without irretrievably incorporating it into their belief structure #nor do I think that every mention of a 'morally impure' book has to be bookended by 'I'm consuming this critically' #because I think that's just. the normal way to interact with the world #idk I do think people latch on to harry potter because it's easy #it was immensely popular at a time when a lot of this site was at an age to be contrary #and I think it's very easy to look back at something and be like 'oh yeah I hated that for moral reasons' #I will be generous and say there could be some overlap with the type of pirate who's like #'I'm engaging with the media I pirated so I'm generating revenue for the creator in a roundabout way' #so it would make sense to reverse that and be like 'if you pirate something Evil you're generating revenue for the creator in a roundabout #way' #I'm losing the thread of what I was talking about but I think my thesis here is just that people should consume content they enjoy #and sure go ahead and consume it critically but again I think that's just the default way to do it #if reading harry potter is capable of turning you into a transphobe or racist or what have you #then I think your beliefs about equality were so shallowly held as to be not worth mentioning

Ah, it's late again. He really needs to get better about his time management but he's salaried, so it's not like it matters how many hours he's clocked in for. Ibara shifts in his seat and rubs his eyes under his glasses. For a moment he thinks it would be nice to have an assistant that could help him out but that would never work with the amount of information he has to keep under wraps.

Or maybe having a second person to help would make him less likely to give up that information out of sheer exhaustion. He'll talk to the president about it tomorrow. He should make a note of that before he forgets. He should pack up and go back to his dorm for the day. Ibara lays his head on his desk and closes his eyes, just for a few minutes he tells himself. Just a few minutes of rest and he'll be up and back on his way to the dorm and actually sleep in his own bed.

Someone shakes him awake. It's gentle and Ibara thinks of the kids in those movies Hiyori makes them watch that ask for five more minutes from their parents. He's too dignified to do something like that though.

Someone chuckles and shakes him again and Ibara finally opens his eyes. It's lighter than he remembered it being when he went to...oh. He fell asleep at the office again. He buries his head in his arms, grumbling.

"Ibara." He bolts upright.

"Your Excellency! Why are you here so early in the morning?"

Nagisa laughs. "Someone told me they never saw you leave last night. Is everything okay, Ibara?"

He relaxes and leans back in his chair. God his back hurts but he has another long day at work. He'll make a note of that later.

There's something soft against his cheek. It's a little scratchy but--

"Your Excellency that is entirely--!"

"We're alone in your office Ibara."

He just knows his face is going to be as dark as his hair with how it heats up from the gesture. A kiss, even just on the cheek... He'll deal. He'll deal with it. It's not like it's something he wishes he got more often or anything.

"T-that's besides the point. Don't do it again."

Nagisa chuckles and Ibara resigns himself to spending his day with Eden's leader.

#message in a bottle #anonymous #ibanagi #i feel like ibara would never initiate intimacy with anyone like idk. it just feels like you have to initiate with him #and nagisa has like no shame at least in this regard. i should read some more eden stories from ! era especially #nagisa is a very... straightforward person in contrast to ibara's scheming. not that he can't scheme (re: conquest) #but he tends to just go full steam ahead for what he wants and if he doesnt have the personal motivation for it #he'll still go along if its beneficial for the other eden members or something they want to do #why am i doing nagisa character analysis in the tags. idk ig its just explaining why i am writing them this way #again i dont write eden that much but i hopeeeeee you enjoy it i do try to have an okay grasp on most of the characters in the game #i've been reading every event as it comes to the english server of the game and i. need to get better at reading ! era stuff #maybe i'll start a new story tonight before i do my nightly gaming sesh... yeah i should do that

i was tagged by @denerims and @risingsh0t to take this quiz for my ocs, thank you both sooo much!!

i'm tagging @arklay @nuclearstorms @morvaris @uldwynsovs @devilbrakers @faarkas @girlbosselrond @indorilnerevarine @shadowglens @jacobseed @lightwardens and whoever wants to do this <3

VIOLENT

when something makes you upset, it could even be the tiniest most petty reason ever, you yell, rage, and possibly throw stuff in anger. your actions think quicker than your mind, and it could probably not even be intentional but the next thing you'll realize is that you've hurt someone

MANIPULATIVE

you're probably a passive aggressive person. you frequently lie, and gaslight to get your way. you never want to be held responsible for your actions so you avoid situations by either victimizing yourself, belittling others concerns, hiding the truth, and using threats to harm yourself or others

FAKE

you are a toxic human being. you belittle others, and are overly competitive. you probably envy those who have it better than you so you try to manipulate the person into feeling worthless so that you can feel superior. you are never there for your friends in time of need but you expect them to always be at your service

#tag games #in my scared to tag ppl era once again. might be bc i'm tired ksjfkf so really if i didnt tag u this time go ahead and say i did!! #anyways.
