i killed. i murdered. i'm nothing like these sleepy people here… nevertheless, you can actually be grateful? bastard… i’m saying… thank you. because you spilled blood, you saved all of these people’s lives. i couldn’t have done it without you. (ID in alt)

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #participated in altades' dance collab :3 very grateful for the opportunity and many thanks to them for organizing this! #there was a lot of vw arc choices... but i went for the leonof arc bc it's a dear vw moment to me #i think a lot of the leonof arc further breaks down vash's ideology and for the readers - together with ww- to learn that his ideals aren't #pure naivety and that vash knows he's at an odd standpoint with himself. he's criticized ww for shooting rai-dei just prior when ww had don #so on the behalf of vash but here he thanks him for killing on behalf of his home and its genuine. bc vash's presence - although it's not #his fault - he was the reason leonof and gray had gotten to the ship and killed people there. that's the guilt he has to live with and #despite his anger he'd still resolute not to kill. meanwhile ww just did what he had to - beating down on a seemingly immortal monster but #at the core made up of many lives he had to take and i feel as the fight dragged on - his own mentality waned. committing active carnage #while remembering the orphanage... and bearing that guilt alongside the words vash left with him during rai-dei's death #only for vash to thank him afterwards what he's done and for apologizing for pushing his beliefs on ww when he had no solutions of his own #anyway. i just have so an immense love for this arc bc they just got around to appreciating each other in weird ways. though ofc its still #weird and confusing for ww bc every new info on vash it'll just be strange to him as someone who's human #ruporas art

A thought from playing a redeemed durge:

After what happens to Alfira, I do wonder if the Durge tries to learn how to play the lute (assuming they don’t already know).

Not Alfira’s lute per se, but just the lute in general. Like from the Durge’s POV, here was this nice young women that they likely brutally killed while sleepwalking, who just wanted to compose a song for her friend. They can’t undo that. Sure, they can make sure her lute get back to family and she gets a proper burial but they can’t undo what really counts.

“Was I sweet once?” That’s something the durge thinks looking at hopscotch in the ruined village. The answer is not looking promising. But maybe, they can try to finish that song for her, at least. Maybe write her one too, while they’re at it. They have no idea if she’d want that or not, but the durge is not one with an abundance of healthy coping mechanisms so it’s not the worst idea.

They’d probably practice whenever they could get privacy cus people might get the wrong impression about a killer gloating otherwise (and who could blame them). But they try. And they might take to it well, or they might be terrible at it, or they might accidentally break a string with hands trained for destroying, but they try.

I think they finish the song regardless. They might need Volo’s help, but they finish it. And it might be bad or it might be good but it doesn’t really matter cus while this is an attempt at absolution, they know in their heart that laments are for the living more than the dead.

They don’t recall but the Church of Bhaal taught them to destroy, not to create. It does not fix anything, but the song in their hands, no matter its quality, is defiance in the name of a father whose name they do not remember.

#bg3 #baulders gate 3 #bg3 durge #durge #dark urge #bg3 dark urge #Iz rambles #this thought stuck with me: it doesn’t fix what happens to alfira but that’s not the point #it’s about trying to immortalize a life lost when one doesn’t know how #it’s about trying to fix what you destroyed and learning there is no solution #it’s about being made to take and deciding to make even if it will never be enough #anyway plot to a good home as long as you credit me

im sorry i have to rant im so fucking pissed

my exams end on 19th and I have to get rid of some books and buy some books which are quite pricy online so I had planned on going to college street on 20th and selling my books and buying the new ones at a cheap price and i was frankly really excited about it because all I get is a one day break to relax bcz i have to start studying for entrances from 21st so all I have is 20th and i wanted to spend it at college street and then get some food and basically have like a solo date kind of thing.

and i was so so excited about it i told my boyfriend about it like 500 times bcz i kept forgetting i've already mentioned it and it was literally on my mind a lott so i kept bringing it up and ik it seems like not a big deal cz i can just sit at home and chill too but i literally do not get to go outside my house. like- the last time i went out was new years eve and after that the only time i've gone out is to school or to give my boards that is it. my mother has some weird like problem wiht me going out like even if i tell her that i just want to go to our terrace for 5 minutes just to get some fresh air she won't even allow that she'll be all suspicious and like sTaNd In ThE bAlCOnY aNd TaKe FrEsH aIr like she herself doesnt leave the house (and blames it on me and my brother ???? when have we ever stopped you bro, she said I HaVe To Be HeRe To KeEp An EyE like im 18 i dont need to be watched 24/7 stop blaming me for choices you put upon yourself) and i just feel so suffocated ALL THE TIME i feel so overstimulated and im so sick of rotting on my bed and i dont want to wait for some birthday party or friends meet up to be able to leave my goddamn house i just wanted to go and have a fun day and get me some books thats it.

anyway so initially the plan was that my mom would go along but something came up so she wanted to postpone it to 21st and i didn't want to bcz i'd already be missing 3 days bcz of my boyfriends birthday, holi and my brothers birthday (all of which are important and i dont want to miss which makes me the villain apparently bcz i should "adjust" and cancel my "parties" instead of trying to stick to my plan bcz that makes me too demanding and selfish apparently) so i suggested that ukw why dont u go do ur thing which came up and i'll go to college street by myself...which is when the solo date idea came which i had really wanted all along but didnt bring up bcz i knew she'd say no but now there's a valid reason for me to go alone so like, its a pretty easy fix i can just go alone but noooo. First of all,

I've been to college street multiple times before so its not like its an unknown area to me

im going by metro which is quite safe

im going when there is stark daylight and i will return home much much before it gets dark and im literally 18

she never lets me go anywhere alone, not even take ubers alone if i want to get back from somewhere my bf has to come drop me everytime and then go backwards to his house which is so so so stupid and i never get to go out alone unless accompanied by family or by a male friend, so obv when i said i'll go to college street alone she refused to let that happen and started screaming about how 'if its so important to go on 20th bcz u dont want to miss a day of studying then cancel ur 'parties' and study then' and i was like no its not about missing a day its just that there's a very easy and logical fix to this problem which is i go alone and its not inconveniencing anyone so why cant i just do that but she will not listen to that bcz im 'adamant' and 'everything has to be according to me' bcz i found a viable solution to the problem. so instead of letting me just go she was literally ready to pay much more money and buy the books online, like.....why cant i just go bro??? (and she keeps telling me im a waste of her money bcz i will amount to nothing in life and my education was a failed investment or wtv so like now why are u wasting more money??? im literally trying to save the money that u 'waste' on me so just let me ???)

anyway i called my dad last night and told him and he was super ok with the idea he said its a good idea that i go alone and that he would speak to her but then today when i asked her if dad spoke to her she said yes, we'll go on 20th and i was like .....we? so apparently she CANCELLED her previously immovable thing for which she wanted me to cancel my 'parties', she cancelled that and agreed to go with me on 20th just so that i dont get to go alone- like ???????????????? what is ur problemmmm

so obv i was super annoyed and i went on a whole ass rant about how i literally struggle to even cross roads bcz i dont know shit about basic travelling bcz all my life ive been in a car and its a running joke with all my guy friends that i 'cannot navigate' and 'dont know any places' and obv??? if im never allowed to go anywhere then how tf will i know the places- the only places i know is bcz recently i've been paying a lot of attention and asking my dad stuff about what roads to take to reach certain places and when i go out with my friends i kind of try and learn a bit but thats it i've only ever gone alone completely alone to two places which is my beauty parlour thats 5 minutes away from my house and one bazaar one time that was 2 bus stops away, thats it. thats my extent of public travelling alone. and now im supposed to go to a whole new STATE for college and i cant even call myself an auto without struggling. and like- is this not a basic life skill??? like ok yeah its not rocket science and i will probably figure it out even if i start later in life but why not now? most of my guy friends literally go everywhere alone, why not me? and my dad agreed with all of this but my mom was just like "you'll be in the hostel only, no need to go out of the campus" like ARE YOU FOR REAL????????? and she's like "if u want to learn skills learn how to cook" like ok yes i will also learn how to cook for sure but i wont have a fucking kitchen in the hostel but somehow cooking is an urgent skill i should learn but going places by myself is unimportant bcz i should just never? leave? the? hostel?

anyway after much screaming and shouting my dad gave up and just cut the call bcz he doesnt want to get into an argument with my mother and my mother was being all suspicious like why do u hAvE tO gO aLoNe AlL oF a SuDdEn even though i literally explained why i want to do this alone but she doesnt think thats valid. so she refuses to let me go and i asked her for one reason why i shouldnt cz usuallt its always "no u have exam what if smthn happens" but now i literally dont even have exam so whats ur excuse now? streets will always be unsafe forever so "what if smthn happens" is not a reason to never let me go out without a man so just gimme one reason and she couldnt give me a single reason she just said "i said no, thats it".

and now she's gone off about how im useless and blah blah and "high maintainance" bcz i want books and "everyone else (some pishi's son) just studies online" and so the whole option of college street is apparently now cancelled and she's trying to set up a whole ass kindle account (half the books i need arent even available as ebooks) just because i wanted to go by myself.

#in our house kids dont stay outside past 6:30pm'' but now all of a sudden its fine for my brother to play #till 10:30 at night #she literally stopped me permanently from going down in the evenings since i was in class 7-8 #this is why ive never had any friends outside of school bcz she wouldnt let me leave ths fucking house #and now that my brother is in class 7 #he's allowed to be out playing with his friends till 10 freaking 30 #he comes home an hour late sometimes...45 minutes and almost always at least 30 minutes late at NIGHT and she says nothing except like #one sentence #yeah im only the villain i only keep u locke #up in the house its all my fault #this is just so damn unfair #like literally insulting #im not a child what is her problem #what sort of fucking solution is 'never leave the hostel' like ok even if i do that what happens then??? after i graduate? #i'll be a 24 year old who doesnt know shit about going from one place to another without a man present] #and then this woman preaches how she 'always raises her son and daughter equally' like srsly shut the fuck up #my whole life i've been told abar late?'' #and for me bcz i would come home 5-10 minutes late nd i did it maybe once or twice she made me completely stop going down to play #5-10 minutes late from 6:30 wherein he comes an hour late from 9 fucking 30 #and this sounds so stupid bcz im an 18 year old now and i dont give a fuck abt how long i got to play but its just unfair dude #with me it was always smthn or the other either exams or she gets miraculously sick every time i want to go out to play #im not even kidding she did a whole “i have fever and ur going to leave me like this and go play?” on me one time bcz i was adamant abt goi #after months of not being able to go bcz of exam or smthn or the other #she did not have any fever it was fucking bullshit #and how am i supposed to help with ur imaginary fever anyway im literally 12 #its so fucking annoying man and then if i say anything at all she'll go on a tirade about how #like YOU DO THOUGH??????? im sorry ur feelings are hurt bcz i said you do smthn that u LITERALLY DO #istg not even 2 days ago she was having a fight with my dad abt how he should teach my brother to learn how to cycle so that he can go buy #groceries #i can cycle

#ugh. im so tried. why is crying so exhausting? i havent done anything. this is bullshit #we went from a slow motion breakdown to full on freakout meltdown today #luckily no one was around in the lab this morning bc i couldnt stop crying #so i went to the counseling center and made myself their problem #canceled my committee meeting. which everyone tells me is fine. its all fine #think about going home for a while they say. maybe tell ur dad ur having a bad time thry say #but im so tired. and i dont kno what to do and its all falling apart #i just feel like im brushing up against the limits of what i can do intellectually and its like well where do i go from here? #what do i do with my old data? how do i move my project forward? whats the point of any of this? #why did i put myself in this position? would taking a leave even help? id still have to come back to the same mess #its just so frustrating bc theres no solution ill find satisfying. everything just sucks. #idk what my advisor even told my committee. bc we were supposed to meet tomorrow morning. ugh. it would have been so bad #it also sucks bc im so drained that i can just feel my own weight when im trying to talk to ppl #like u kno when ur being a wet blanket but u dont kno how to fix it. like srry my vibes r wretched. maybe im just stuck like this #i dunno. my dad invited us home for a week in july and also plans to come out to visit me in August. but that seems like a long time away #i dunno what im gonna do. what a disaster #unrelated

Dan Lewis Is a damn icon for going 'actually I have a ton of things to make me want to be at home and not dead' and then leaving, effectively resigning his position as low-key relationship councillor and the guy voted most likely to die because he's the third wheel.

So refreshingly angst free.

#dw shit #and also a nice point that Dan has a ton of things to live for #despite!!! his not having a home or a job!! his life has importance and meaning! #anyway. i love him. #there was not a lot of time to explicitly go into the real day to day realities of dan being the first companion to be in poverty #but points were still made #and more importantly i was not made to watch another nauseating rich relative sudden money boon story #that is important. #you cannot effectively critique a system if your fix it is to just Work the system!!!! you need to contest it!! and if not then just dont #Try to fix it. just point out it's bad! show it's wrong! #capitalism is dumb luck and active malevolence a lot of the time and using that as a solution for characters whom are victimised by said #system with no irony at all is. no.

The soul gnawing urge to ask them to come visit because it would make everything feel right again but knowing it wouldn’t be fair to ask it of them

#therapy tomorrow can’t come soon enough #the full impact is finally hitting me #they made the apartment feel like home… #but I really dont think I have it in me to make a life work with them #fuck the us healthcare system #fuck the lack of disability resources #fuck the fucking Atlantic Ocean #fuck late stage capitalism making a single income household unrealistic #fuck all of it #I was supposed to be going back to school #and I’d be an hour away from them #I suppose I could still try to move there #but that only fixes some of the problems #I just want a solution that ends in us happy…

i have become acutely aware of the fact that in a bit over a month i will travel to italy to excavate for two weeks and so i've been looking flights and buses and everything and of course there's been complications, especially in the return flight. it seems i will have to stay a full day in bari and i will return home on the day of my sister's birthday. lol.

#what do i even do in bari for a day #and it isn't a full day i would arrive there by bus at 13:05 #i know you don't care but basically #the excavation campaign is until friday 27th #they said i could sleep in the accomodations that day and take the first bus back to bari airport (the closest one) on the 28th #the thing is. the first bus gets at bari airport at 13:05. my latest possible flight to madrid is at 13:55 #my parents are convinced i won't make the flight #so i have to look for an alternative even if i personally believe i would've made it but whatever #i looked at flights to other parts of spain #the only two cities that have flights to spain from bari later than 13:00 are valencia and barcelona #but. i would arrive at 21:55 / 22:30 respectively and there's no train or plane at that time that would get me to madrid #so efectivelly i would have to either sleep in bari or in valencia / barcelona #there's a flight from bari to madrid on the 29th (my sister's birthday) at 7:15 am #i would be back home at 12:35 #so evidently. i will have to stay the night in bari #that will be a fun adventure who knows what'll happen #but yeah. that's the only possible solution to this i've found #also flights on the 29th are cheaper than on the 28th so that's lovely

so i went home only to spend halloween mostly alone, freaking out about still being sad and going back to work on wednesday....

#deleted the last one because it was melodramatic. #anyway i took a few minutes to understand why i am feeling all of this today #and i think going home and realizing that i am still incredibly lonely here is what made my day difficult #i really thought going home with my family and celebrating halloween like i always did would instantly fix me or something #that said i'm dumb because my solution to everything is isolating myself further <:o) #which is why i left like 5 discord servers....clown move fr #anyway ty mutuals who still try to cheer me up or like my vent posts so i don't feel like i'm invisible <3

it still boggles my mind that if I had applied solo for this mortgage I would've been rejected, even though I have good credit & stuff. I could "afford" a $1700 apartment smacking of landlord special & mold & a giant fucking hole in my ceiling they never fixed & two broken kitchen lights they never fixed & a balloon of paint in a different spot on the ceiling that was full of water because the apartment was water damaged n run down anyway before I moved in but I apparently couldn't afford a $560 mortgage payment for a decent, kinda old ish house but clean & not hazardous. okay silly ass

#it drives me crazy bc my aunt's credit is absolute garbage but if i hadn't applied with her i 100% would've been rejected #but like those living conditions are what everyone is stuck with if they aren't lucky enough to have someone who can be on a mortgage #with them #there are literally thousands of empty houses in youngstown alone that could be part of a solution to housing #but no the citys brilliant idea is to just one by one rip them all down & let people be stuck in shithole apartments #amazing planning incredible use of resources #like i just made my first mortgage payment & am just sitting here like holy shit i have so much money left over??? #i can afford groceries & the rest of my utilities w/out anxiety everyone under age 30 is being robbed blind #once again thats 560 for an ENTIRE HOUSE not a small broom closet apartment a home with three bedrooms a finished basement & a sunroom #like it is absolutely INSANE that so many ppl are just straight up barred from accessing this its absolutely criminal #its an irrefutable act of violence to force ppl to live in squalor or with nothing at all when they could easily have safe housing #BECAUSE THE HOUSES ARE JUST SITTING THERE

still have my 8 month long lingering chest injury that just came out of nowhere with no cause where it just flares up and I have a lot of pain near my collar bones and chest and shoulders for a few days, HOWEVER I have recently discovered that sometimes I can get temporary relief by sticking a wet q-tip up my nose to make myself sneeze, which on like the 3rd or 4th sneeze will occasionally audibly pop a little bone in the center of my ribs or something and then it doesn’t feel as bad. Hopefully there will be a better more comprehensive solution someday but also there would be a humor to that just being part of my regular routine forever now... like, oh hold on I have to go do my daily self induced sneeze sessions for my mysterious bone pain

#I've had an upper endoscopy. ekg. stress test and heart ultrasound thing. bee to a physical therapist. etc. etc. And still... the constant #recurring chest pains #The only think I can think of that they haven't done is like.. look look at the actual like.. situation in there #I think maybe I just need to ask for an x-ray or something?? like to look at my chest bones and muscles and stuff #maybe I hve some weird condition where once every few weeks one of my rib bones pops out of place a little and it just need #s to be put back or something hjbhj idk how skeletons work #I've heard of people saying like 'oh my knee popped out of place i just have to adjust it' or whatever so.. maybe that can happen #with other bones too??? #I am EDS adjacent (like if it were a spectrum I would be halfway there I have similar and related issues in a way that is #not so severe that like my organs are tearing or I'm consantly having problems but enough to cause frequent joint pain #and other issues and I'm super felixible and etc.) so idk even if I'm not As Bad As Super Severe Official Cases maybe I still #could have some sort of weird bone join muscle whatever thing going on #IDK #pain and suffering and so on and so forth #I just think the sneeze solution is funny #I used to legit come home from school in elementary school and sit and watch cartoons while I made myself sneeze because I thought it was #funny and I liked that eventually it makes you really snotty and your eyes are teared up so then I could also make it seem like I was #just crying and act out dramatic scenarios with my imaginary friends alone in my room pretending I was in some very serious movie where #I had just been sobbing or somehting ghghbj #Now it has come back to be a useful part of my life again somehow

Got stuffffff to do today... I don't want to

#my to-do list is a mile long #starting with: Laundry. Text Aspen (friend i made at camp and got their number but ive forgotten to text yet) #car payment. gift for a friend that shouldve been finished months ago. part of a passion project. repair tears in my jeans. #get insurance. pay bill. donate shit to goodwill. emissions test. and new social security card #it gets more and more adult-y as you go #i dont want to do any of it tho... not even the shit thats easy like sending a text or my passion project #BUT heres a hack: laundry is magical #for me at least #laundry has a time limit. like 30-60 minutes. so i drop off my laundry whoch is easy. go home. now i have a deadline #'how many of my tasks can i complete before the wash is done? how many dishes can i wash? how many lines can i write?' #shit like that. gotta create a deadline for mg brain and that helps it get stuff done #its hard to gather my laundry and drive myself to the laundromat tho... thats all thats holding me back #like thats literally it. i could finish half my list if i could just get my laundry going #bad brain bad brain bad brain #mental health problems require wack solutions #'need to do stuff? just do laundry! itll give you a deadline to do stuff!' wack #i am so tired #i should dye my hair again #EDIT: another hack (for me) is to drink coffee #i only drink coffee if I'm doing productive stuff. i drink coffee at the cafe where i do my work or i have a bottle of starbucks #so if i want to work i buy a starbucks glass bottle coffee #it tastes like productivity #idk drinking anything makes it a little more fun to work but sipping a coffee while tapping away at my laptop is a vibe and it works #just find what works for you i guess

many people have said it but bears repeating again:

Palestinian liberation calls for a 1 state solution under which all people are equal under both under the law and in practice.

In order to have peace the genocide, apartheid, and occupation must end. Settler colonialism must end. Second class citizenry must end. All Palestinians imprisoned must be released. Reparations must be made to Palestinians who have been affected by both current events and historical, from the Nakba in 1948 to today. Everyone who participated in the facilitation of the apartheid, and the violence of the apartheid and occupation required to maintain the oppressive regime, must be held accountable. Palestinians must be granted the right to return to their homes.

The idea that Palestinian liberation = carrying out a genocide on Israelis is nothing more than baseless, racist, orientalist fearmongering (and, to an extent, pure projection) that serves to justify the current genocidal regime and the apartheid having been maintained for decades. One people's freedom does not threaten another people. People are fearmongering over a hypothetical scenario (the same fearmongering used in South Africa; both during the reconstruction era following the abolition of slavery & also against abolitionists while slavery was still legal in the United States; in regards to the North American indigenous population; and so on) while an actual genocide is going on.

the only way to real actual peace, safety, and security is through the complete liberation of the Palestinian people, not the continued maintenance of the current regime or the apartheid that led to this current moment in time. apartheid is inherently violent; oppression is inherently violent. colonialism is inherently violent. if YOUR 'safety' is dependent on the oppression, displacement, and murder of OTHER PEOPLE then your conditions are not and will never be safe.
