#has a thing for Big Ladies

[esoomris]

fun thing about dredge is like. the familiarity of the unknown. like sure the various Horrors are scary when you first encounter them, but soon enough you learn where they are and how to avoid them and like, sure they’re dangerous and sure you don’t fully comprehend them but like. give them a wide berth you’ll probably be fine. which is exactly the mindset that any person who was hired to go fishing for a living in the eldritch nightmare town would end up in. yeah the anglerfish have come up to the surface and their lures are clearly designed for me but like. i’ve got bills.

#dredge #i went from being scared of the big cliffs monster to exclusively referring to it as ''this fucker'' in like. 2 in-game weeks #forreal tho this game has some real incredible gut-drop moments #like the aforementioned anglerfish and also the bit where the science lady tells you there's a creature in the middle of the coral reef #and you look down and see its fuckin tendrils and are like. oh. oh fuck you're way bigger than the other guy #but like you get used to it all in a way that kinda adds to the immersion #i can picture my fisherman on his little boat muttering to himself all the same thing i mutter to myself during gameplay #''fucking snitch fish calling their damn mom on me. get boiled idiots'' - he would fucking say that #Moose Talks

i am wide awake thinking about that post canon jb au again when I should be sleeping …!!! such is the nature of the jbrainrot…

#the whole setting is jb hanging out in the rock post war #and tyrion became lord of the westerlands / the rock is his but he’s off doing stuff in kingslanding and jaime is just filling in for him #atm . but after tyrion comes back his original plan WAS he’ll get married to brienne right away and they can move back to tarth or be #travelling hedge knights together or whatever brienne wants to do he’s down for it. but the important thing is that he wants to stay with #her .. so he’s using the time they have together currently to court her bc she deserves that at least !! #so jaime goes off trying to court and woo brienne but she just thinks they’re hanging out bc they got relatively close in the war #so jaime being touchy feely isn’t anything new. jaime making innuendos and being kinda flirty isn’t anything new either #but this time he means it LOL he’s like I want to kiss you SO badly and brienne will be like lol silly jaime (: #I was also thinking they’d help rebuild lannisport just bc it’s a time for healing now and it would be good for the people to get to know #jaime and the lannisters in general bc of how they would just used to sit high above the rock looking down on everyone #but now jaime is like. actively helping and being known and being with the people rather than just being that absent distant lord #also he’s thinking he might as well try and foster some relationship with the commoners to his house bc it’s for tyrion anyway #so he’s off doing that and brienne is tagging along bc she does not want to go home yet #she wants to stay with him and she’s helping out as an excuse to stay a little longer but she doesn’t exactly want to leave him #but how do you tell someone that and ignore the big glaring part that she’s actually in love with him and the fact that they both survived #the war is getting her hopeful???? u want her to admit that?? like a normal person??? no..!! #so she’s just staying and helping out bc a) it’s the sensible thing to do b) so she can bask on the sun that is Jaime Lannister #for like a few more days. weeks. maybe a month bc the weather is soooo bad in the stormlands rn 🙄😳 #anyway jb hanging out! and everything is going well and good but jaime is now getting popular w the people and he’s also looking quite #rugged and handsome post war now that he’s thirty flirty and thriving and he also has a new scar across his lip that makes his #smirks even more ! rogueish … ! and he looks quite nice with the greying hair 👀 so now there’s gossips around him #not to mention he’s single too and I think if you were one of the heroes who helped win the war they’ll forget the kingslaying #man with no honor business so lo and behold brienne eavesdrops a group of ladies bc she’s a chismosa at heart and they’re talking about a #potential marriage for a lord lannister (!!!) and there’s going to be a big tourney held in Kingslanding for it (!!!) #and brienne remembers jaime mentioning the ought to go to Kingslanding in the next few weeks (!!!) and now she’s remembering jaime IS a #lord though not theee lord of the westerlands STILL a lord from one of the seven houses and he’s single and very eligible for marriage rn #and now she’s realising everything is returning back the way it was before the war where society rules matters and she has her own role as #now the evenstar bc rip selwyn and jaime has his own role too and the court is a whole different battlefield #one that she isn’t equipped in and even though she had found some new confidence in herself bc killing a bunch of ice invisible zombies #with your own magic sword will do that for you she doesn’t think (and she’s being objective not negative) she stands a chance in THAT

wet on wet, attempts at some art therapy at home

#art #watercolor #abstract #i suppose! #my art #i’ve been going THROUGH it this year dear lord #and my art has taken a beating for sure #well maybe not the art itself just the feeling around it #i haven’t been able to let loose in so long #so today i decided to just do it!!! #i used my kuretake gansai tambi and a big ol brush and no palette #i just let the paint do its thing #my favorite is the first one #or the second #hm #this year has been so so much to handle and we’re not quite out of the woods yet #and on top of everything else i’ve had to heal from traumatic experiences #that i gained *at* therapy which is so painfully ironic #old ladies who don’t believe in autistic girls existing (basically) and deny my pain only because i’m young #have no place in the therapy world #she did and said a lot of other things that hurt me so deeply that it’ll take months to fully process it all :’D

if i see one more person claiming eloise is being a bad person because she is telling penelope that she shouldn't lie about who she is to the love of her life, i am going to start using firearms

#it's painfully obvious that you just dont like eloise #cause when did 'dont lie to your partner about big things' become a controversial opinion #especially when colin has declared his hate for lady whistledown BECAUSE she was slandering eloise marina and penelope #there are too many bad takes on eloise it's driving me insane #eloise bridgerton #bridgerton trailer #bridgerton spoilers #maybe? its from the trailer so #wren wrambles

Can we all pour one out for one of the most important unnamed characters of the novel Dracula by Bram Stoker and that's Dr. Seward's housekeeper. That lady must have had no idea what the fuck was happening and she still had to feed everyone.

#also Mina's whole blood baptism thing #It's already strange that all Dr Seward's random friends are just assembling right #and then All the Sudden. on the same night that Mr Renfield has his little accident #the one lady who seemed nice gets a big ass burn mark on her Forehead. and looks like death #like. hmm. #dracula spoilers #dracula

yayo! (real name: yolanda). shes xeress crush. i want to give her some tattoos or piercings but i couldnt think of good ones yet..

#yayo #umm yeah! #some facts about her are.. #shes really chill and calm as a person and always rolls w whatever happens #shes a stoner #plays bass in a band #she has ptosis #kind of perpetually confused about whats going on & lives in her own head lol #she runs in a lot of the same circles as xeres (they go to student organizing/wlw meetups/antiracist collectives) #so they have a lot of friends in common even if they dont usually hang out 1 on 1 #though her band is totally just a hobby thing and shes not trying to make it big she is very very into music #shes big on the party scene she is usually out at home parties or the club a couple times a week at least #she knows a lot of people like vaguely. but shes added to a lot of different groupchats and whatnot and so she always has people to hang w #shes a little slutty. she likes to show off her body and whatnot. #ummm shes a nonbinary wlw i havent yet picked if shes bi or a lesbian i need to think more on it #it doesnt show in this but shes really tall and lanky #she is popular w the ladies for her clueless androgynous swagger #and like every character in this group she is parisian. i have not decided if shes also an immigrant like everyone else in this group or no #(xeres is algerian; klein is german; joy is like literally not from earth; xeress bestie soona is emirati. they all just live in paris lol)

I say this with all the love in the world for Dalmatians, but they are the anti-malinois. A guardian/protection breed most of whose breeders vehemently don't want to breed to original purpose past aesthetic, and who think the breed gets an unearned bad rap. All the while, even the incredibly bred show dals I know are still very much guardian dogs with guardian dog tendencies.

#running by the carriage but not facing any major stressor or threat while doing so is aesthetic behavior is my big argument #correct me if i'm wrong #but every dal client I've worked with has only confirmed so far #i have a super nice lady that's gotten hospital level bites three times from her two males getting into it #and neither breeder ever warned her that dals are prone to guardy behavior and SSA! #i really want a dal one day #but a lot of the things i like about them make them hard for pet people

Our first introduction to a revived Catelyn is learning that she can't speak but she remembers, inquiries about Arya, and accurately pointing out someone involved in that red wedding. It's been obvious from the start that she's still Catelyn, even though her being resurrected affected her. Considering fandom's trend of labeling female characters "too far gone" for not being perfect, pure, and passive it's obvious why people talk about her like they do. Yes she's angry and wants revenge but literally who wouldn't if they were in her situation? It's annoying how little empathy people have for her character. Personally, I hope there's more to her story than getting demonized for rightfully wanting revenge and having to get "put down" like she's a wild animal.

#catelyn stark #catelyn tully #lady stoneheart #asoiaf #a song of ice and fire #I need people to stop talking about female character like their wild animals just cause they feel /negative/ emotions #Oh the woman who watched her son killed before getting murdered herself and then brought back to life isn't nice and sweet and gentle ohhhh #that means she absolutely has to be put down I mean what other option is there??? / srs #Show me some actual proof that she's too far gone and not just you're assumptions about someone who gets brought back to #life like we don't already have Beric walking around...I hate when fandom just decides things instead of looking at the story #like she currently has nothing not even a guarantee that any of her children are alive #reuniting with Arya is going to be big for her and you know what? I doubt she'll want to be put down like fandom assumes #she's def going to want to stay around as long as she can to protect her children especially if she's learns Bran and Rickon are alive #catelyn get behind me! I'm rooting for you!

a large amount of time I've been spending on -untitled undefined scope original fiction project- since the last time I posted about it has been trying to develop the protagonist concept I came up with last summer or whatever into like, a character that would feel real and era appropriate.

it's fun research to do. naturally a lot of the details I assigned to her are things that I already think are cool, so it's been a lot of fun trying to trace her traits back through the relatively recent past, getting reminded of how much things have changed, or where the gaps in my intuition are, and then doing a flurry of reading to get a sense for exactly how someone like her and the people around her could have happened and what her life was probably like leading up to her present day. hopefully this results in some good good verisimilitude.

#I wrote a short story from her perspective over the holidays and then didn't know how to continue it #and then I got distracted by real life stuff for a few months #I forget if I posted about that #and then I've been picking through archive dot org for the last few weeks looking at this stuff #the last big rabbit hole was trying to get a better feel for era appropriate ts/tv subculture #the current one I'm looking at is how she would've gotten into language learning and how that would've worked #nettle has been prodding me about the setting thing lately so I've been thinking about that more too #probably the biggest hurdle by far is figuring out how I want to play that #and how I want the thing to be divided up #since the original coc scenario I'm developing this out of is centered on a flight from LA to honolulu #and the airport dungeon was definitely meant to be a hook for a larger campaign #some amount of it is going to cover protag lady's failed life in LA and some of it is going to be worse things happening in hawaii #but it's like. how much do I want to balance it one way or the other #and realistically how much does the aesthetics of 20th century air travel add to the story #besides me personally thinking it's compelling ofc #a lot of what I find compelling about hawaii is that it's an east/west cultural crossroads and realistically that's also true of socal #and I can wax poetic about socal as much as I want without worrying all that much about mishandling something #and there's also a lot of socal specific history along similar parallels to pull from that I'm more familiar with #I guess it comes down to whether curiosity re: 'doing it right' is enough of a motivator to do the increased amount of research #which I guess it has so far with the above character details. so hopefully that will continue #but it also feels like using machine translation a bit yknow. it's hard to know how effectively I'll be able to sanity check #although depending on where this goes I might be able to get other people involved to sensitivity read down the line #with most of the creative things I do I just have a tendency to always rely really heavily on figuring things out myself #I also want protag lady to have a Cool Car and idk how to get that from point a to point b narratively #this is like an entire second or third post's worth of tags but I don't feel like unfucking this so whatever. suffer. I guess.

Pretty lady, pretty lady Celebrian, who do you smile for?

#big titi lady #she got privat custom tattoos just for elrond #this was an uncolored sketch from art class about anatomy poses i needed to get down digital and color it to turn it into celebrian #that means i had to draw a skeleton and muscles to finally be able to put on skin hair and clothes #while holding pauses where my teacher explained all kinds of things #what made me think a year of art school would be a good idea #!? #just kidding i love it #it has been one of the best years in my life and i can see how much i improved #celebrian #tolkien #jrr tolkien #silmarillion #lotr #lord of the rings #the lord of the rings #silm art #lotr art #digital art #my art

Background info: I was finally diagnosed last month. My manager is like a mother figure to me. She’s been super supportive emotionally and tangibly, eg driving me to surgery/picking me up more than once, care packages for me and my cats, etc. She truly truly cares about me and offers so much love and support that I miss in my life from actual family. She is reliable and has always come through for me. She has taught me how to get by in the world and has always willingly helped me script work interactions on an ongoing basis, and when I don’t understand what’s happening socially she’s always patiently done her best to explain (which is often). She has taught me very explicit ways to perform socially in professional ways which has been so helpful and appreciated. I feel like to some degree she MUST already know. How many grown adults would she mentor to this extent, who lack such basic social communication skills. She’s been so supportive through all my work-caused emotion dysregulation/escalations and my rigidity/inability to cope with change and my rage at feelings of injustice. To a large degree I feel like telling her I was just officially diagnosed will be a very “oooooh yeah that explains a lot”. Part of me suspects she must already know, or at least suspects something is very delayed in me despite being bright. She’s been so accommodating and has taught me so much, has helped bring me up to speed about how to function as an adult as much as my brain wiring will allow for. She’s a major reason I’ve been as successful as I’ve been.

On the other hand, she’s my manager and after a few years of really oversharing, I’ve been trying to rein it in. She already knows a ton about my mental illness and life history and I’m not sure it’s appropriate given our professional roles. I don’t think she’d discriminate against me but you never know? Ableism slips out in sneaky ways sometimes? And then the dreaded, “No you’re not!” “No, you can’t be!” “No, you ____ too well!” Part of me feels it’s none of her business. But part of me wants her to know why I’ve been so fucked up lately, that the real reason I’m on leave now is because of autistic burn out. I feel like I’ve been lying by omission to her for several months as I descended to new levels of hell because I feared professional consequences if she knew how unstable I was. But I bottomed out in a very unstable way so to some extent we’ve already crossed that bridge I guess. But if I tell her I was diagnosed with autism, there’s no going back? Will the label make her start to think I’m incompetent? I’ve always been incompetent lol I functioned because she micromanaged me. But it’s possible now that she knows why I needed that, it’ll change how desirable I am as an employee idk. She seems to think I’m great at my job despite how much direct support I need from her to do it so maybe it won’t change much, but for all I know the stigma of the label may change how she views me even though she knows exactly who I am and what I struggle with already.

I’m very torn.

#I’m in my 30s and estranged from my family for further context #actually autistic #polls #further context my manager is a boomer devout Christian white lady with a big heart but limited understanding of true mental illness #she lives out the most wholesome tenets of christianity and I admire that in her. she’s so accepting of people #but no one is immune from cultural lessons on bigotry. it’s only ever a matter of degree #she has said some really ignorant things about my PTSD which have been surprising but not damaging to me #so I’m kind of weary about just how far this ignorant thread goes and what it looks like #personal

You are a seventeen year old lesbian. You ran away from home and are lying about every aspect of yourself in order to work your way up the ranks of the war crime factory, and it’s working— you got promoted to work directly under the citystate governor as personal security for him and his family. And now you have a crush on his wife. (would that be fucked up or what?)
