#i dont really know how to tag this and i think there's an irony in that considering the contents of the post lol

[iloveyouphillipmorris]

i was tagged by the ineffable @leonardcohenofficial to talk about the worst films i saw in 2023 and i am here to DEFEND MYSELF...... beneath the cut are full reviews of the above flicks but if you don't wanna read that, that's cool and i tag --

@junglejim4322 @fortheturnstiles + @rutles ilysm ilysmm

Bruce Almighty [2003] -- i'll start off with something easy. this is the only jim carrey movie i would say i absolutely SUFFERED through, like, painful agony. something that bugs me is in his 10mil trilogy [ace ventura/dumb n dumber/mask] he is continually asked to repeat his original material shown in 'jim carrey's unnatural act,' his work before that, n his ad-libs in "in living colour." but you kinduv get it in the 10mil trilogy, like! theser are his first three big films and so naturally, these elements are necessary to instill a sort of marketable charm for him as a breakout. even though i think he'd already very much 'broken out,' but whatever. 'bruce almighty' is a pastiche of a pastiche, with a sense of abject cruelty that goes entirely against the charm of what makes early carrey movies, well, carrey movies !!! despite his hands-on approach to this flick, it just doesnt feel really like something he'd do under any other circumstances... i love u jim i hope ur ok and im sorry i dont like bruce almighty))):

Barbie [2023] -- this movie was primed to be adored by me. it had everything; margot robbie, bright colours, elaborate sets, a sort of blinding stupidity, something blatantly silly, and kitsch. i should have fucking loved this movie. if i had seen it in a theatre, i'd have up and walked out halfway through. it was around that mark that i paused the flick and turned to my mom and brother and asked "are you all feeling what i'm feeling?" which was this ... nauseating sense of cynicism. it was a wholeheartedly empty film, containing no amount of irony which was meaningful. all of the camp and kitschy aspects were self aware and intentional, which, obviously, cuts out the camp of it all. it is so self aware so as to be insulting to the viewer and provide nothing in the way of any kinduv social commentary, all while looking you in the eye, winking, and saying "we're doing all of this and changing nothing, isn't that so meta? i'm addressing you; aren't i meta? aren't i so 2023-chic? aren't i so nihilistic?" it was a hollow, cynical, capitalistic endeavour with no shame. the fact that this movie was released at all is a testament to our indifference as a culture, how we just sit here and eat whatever fucking shit we have put in front of it and usually, i'd be fine with that. i LOVE eating shit. but when the shit-taker looks you in the eye while feeding you his feces? fuck off. it is more than a pastiche, it is more than a disgusting and crude display, it is more than a first entry into an assured milieu of product-based universes, it is a misanthropic hateful display of consumerism that makes a fool of you and itself by shouting @ you from the screen: "WE ARE GOING TO CHANGE NOTHING AND YOU ARE GOING TO LIKE IT." furthermore, it is a crime against my faggot sensibilities. which is unacceptable. not to mention, it is genuinely cruel to the idea of men having personalities and hobbies and passions. but i know that's even less agreed with. save yourself the two hours and watch "pee-wee's big adventure" instead. at least pee-wee loves you.

Skinamarink [2022] -- offender of the highest order in horror: being boring. if you've seen a movie longer than an hour and a half with a slower pace, this movie is nothing. if you have ever watched dogma 95, it is nothing. if you have ever watched gummo or julien donkey boy, it is nothing. if you have ever been anxious in the heart of the night, it is nothing. it is nothing no matter which way you look at it. go watch the monument mythos or if you want a good horror flick made in the same year, then go watch michelle garza cervera's debut; husera: the bone woman.

Batman [1989] -- what a pitiful entry into the most whimsical, exhiliterating, absolutely fucking bonkers series of films ever. the burtonverse which contains this film and the following batman returns is alright, it's cool. like whatever, that's fine. i think the set and costume designs are sick and i'm excited for the new batman '89 comix that are coming out now, that's fine, whatever. but BORE ME DURING THE 1990'S BATMAN FRANCHISE!? a crime! michael keaton is such a trite and empty little creature. he looks stupid in the bat costume and not in a way that's fun like the much superior schumacher-verse flicks that follow the next entries after burton. bat nipples? bat cards? gay people? that's what the 90's batman flicks are about. it's aout not knowing what the fuck is going on but tommy lee jones and jim carrey are KISSING. only good thing about it is when jack n gets the makeup on he's absolutely fucking terrifying n that's how he rly is in real life in real !!!! in real life !!! fun fact !!!

what about DBK? or the now airing Cherry Magic Thai? i mean yeah Tay isn't technically even dark skinned but as compared to the rest of the gmmtv roster... also maybe joong in every series? idk. there's not a lot. sigh.

tagging @burgcheeser since anon is trying to add more context for the question you asked me. sorry for taking so long to respond but I needed some time to first finish laughing at the irony of being recc'd an Aof show in the rampant colorism in Asia diskhorse that I started in response to Aof's colorism hahahahahaha

As someone who's not Thai, I really don't know the specifics of skin tone variations that are acceptable or not in Thailand. I think who's fair and beautiful changes based on how dark the local population gets. Most actors back home (for me) are the same skin tone as Earth (as this is considered quite fair where I'm from) whereas he's 'too dark' for Thai standards. I think in general, if you're looking for a way to support dark skinned actors, the best thing you can do is keep calling for the portrayal of actors' natural skin and oppose whitewashing them regardless of whether you think they are dark skinned or not.

While acknowledging that pinpointing who is or isn't being victimized the most b/c of their skin tone is NOT the focal point of standing against colorism in Asian media. The two people you bring up have always been interesting to me. 1) For all intents and purposes Tay seems like he should fall into the dark skinned actor category but he almost always never does. Is he actually not that dark? Does his own upper class status shield him from it? idk im glad he's having a good time he seems like a wonderful person.

2) Mixed race actors like Joong or Bright who aren't the Korean dewy white that's so popular in Thailand right now but also their relative darkness bears no noticeable consequences to their profession either. I have no idea what the standards of attractiveness is for mixed race actors in Thailand. One thing I can say though is that the lack of darker mixed race actors is not a coincidence - you think there are no Thai/Black mixed race people or what lol

re: your tags on the keroro platoon heaven post. i think most of them dont really understand christianity and they just sing about the lord because thats what christmas songs are about on earth. but kururu gets it (at least relative to the others) and participates because its funny. of all the frogs he seems the most irony poisoned. tamama might also be in on it halfway, like he gets that its a religious thing but doesnt get the joke because he doesnt understand religion in a general sense. Wait Do Keronians Have Religion

this is so fucking true theyre all just parroting things bc it’s Just How Things Are but kururus definitely doing it on purpose and tamamas definitely like “*with confidence* It’s about Jesus! What do you mean ‘who’s Jesus’. It’s uh. It’s jesus. Obviously. Duh. Don’t you know that. I have to go now”

keronians dont…………. they dont have religion but they dont not have religion. i think. we dont know one way or another. dororos dad is wearing like. a cross on his head. but it mightve been a red cross type cross. do keronians have religion the age old question. some say yes. some say no. i say maybe maybe not but in this context it is funnier to imagine they have 0 religion and don’t really get the concept at all

sorry for the late reply! im the songxue anon! just saw your responses a few minutes ago and my gosh, you're really very sweet ;; im sorry to have caused so much of a fuss but thank you for being so compassionate and kind ;; (also i adore that crying xue yang omigosh what are you talking abt how can you think thats not amazing its perfect i love it). also the tags? on your first reply??? people are mean to song lan????? WHO IS MEAN TO SONG LAN??? WHY??? HOW????! i'll be honest, i tend to avoid getting involved with fandom discourse At All Costs bc i dont need that kind of stress in my life, so mainly i just look at fanart and fics i like and stay in my lane so i had no idea there were people who hate on song lan???? like??????????? how????????????????? okay, i love xue yang, he's my baby, but i TOTALLY understand people hating him. he has no rights and he deserved everything bad that happened to him and so much more. i just happen to adore him and wanna spoil my stupid lil meowmeow. like it makes SENSE to be mad at xue yang but like.................................. how can anyone hate song lan?!?! HE DID NOTHING WRONG?????? LITERALLY HE JUST GOT HURT, OVER AND OVER, FOR NO REASON????? im sorry for going on such a tangent over a very short tag you added but im a lil flabbergasted that anyone could hate on Best Boy. also while im going on tangents about tags, your 500 aus are part of what i adore about your art oki. like you have such a wonderful and vivid imagination and the way that you give life to the ideas with your art is breath-taking. even if its a concept i dont think i would enjoy just hearing the idea, when i see your execution i am 100% on board because my gosh you have such a beautiful way of bringing life to things.

and you don't need to apologize for anything btw! it's totally oki to assert boundaries and i really dont speak for anyone other than myself. i just saw a few "dont tag as ship" things and i was like "ahh... oki they prolly wouldnt like me" cuz im an anxious bean and i also dont wanna reveal myself as a gross loser who likes weird ships to one of my fav artists, ya know? so you were 100% just doing the good selfcare thing (which much approval, we stan) and i just got the wrong idea cuz im a nervous weirdo. as for revealing myself i feel a bit embarrassed to do so now after being such a weirdo at you oaeurhgiauehrg but one way or another, your are IS getting reblogged, especially now that i have permission to look at some pieces disrespectfully oiaerhjgohre (not SUPER disrespectfully, just maybe a lil bit of 'they're in love your honor' oki) (a silly random thing but im a bit happy to know you dont hate songxue oijghiouehrg its silly but knowing my favorite 'songxue artist' (not-really-songxue-but-i-totally-see-it) doesnt hate my otp is kinda nice 😊 i thought the irony of it was a bit funny before but i also felt guilty for seeing stuff that your didnt really intend with your art and yeah eoirjgioejrg basically my initial asks were all that struggle so its just kinda nice. its not a very popular ship so its cool when its not disliked, even if its not actively enjoyed. idk if im making sense LOL sorry) ohergiuearhg sorry i feel like i went on a bunch of tangents instead of responding to you properly and i think maybe i have a problem of Talking Too Much so i swear i will really try to keep this one short. i love your art, youre completely valid and wonderful, im doing okay and im really happy you responded to me so kindly despite my strangeness, i think you're neat and you deserve a ton of people showering you with praise cuz damn, you make things great. and i'd like to take a moment to express how you can really influence people with your art: i never even considered wen chao x xue yang before your art and now i think they're a really funny couple, and thats completely bc of how lovely your creations are. please believe in your ability to make people love the things that you love through your beautiful art. be proud of how incredible you are. you make everything a lil brighter just by existing but the fact that you exist and choose to share your beautiful art (and fics, ive read some of them and i Love your writing, its incredible) you make the world a whole lot brighter cuz damn, now i get to look at this stuff and just smile and feel warm inside. so thank you for making my life a lil happier and please be confident in yourself!

okay sorry to put em all together but also i felt it was best so let's begin,

^me

1- you've caused no fuss at all so don't worry about that!! i just wanted to make sure it wasn't a ships in the night situation LOL i wanted to make sure you got my response! :) (I'M GLAD YOU ENJOY THE MEME LOL) as for song lan meanness, that's what i'm saying THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING and YET! this is why i stay out of the tags all the time. there's just too much shit out there in the world and sometimes i fail at just gritting my teeth and letting people say their thang, and it gets me in trouble... but maaaaaaan i really need to say it's a shame you wanna stay anonymous because i think we'd get on like a house on fire! you've summed up exactly how i feel about both of them + how i wish others reacted to them haha (but no pressure to reveal yourself! just know i think we'd get along)

and as for 500 AUs... i'm so glad 😭 i am an AU machine, i have so many i can't keep track and they bring me so much joy, but i admittedly feel sort of alone in making them haha SO THIS MEANS A LOT!! especially you complimenting my execution like i think i may just melt into a puddle and pass away jfghsjh thank you,, so much

2- but seriously, don't worry about the tag thing, it is 100% a boundary thing and the only time i think i'd dislike someone for it is if they saw i said not to tag it as something in the body of the post and did it anyway! 'cause that's just rude (and then i feel despair bc what else can i do to get people NOT to tag LMAO) it's for my own comfort, i'm not trying to dictate what people can or can't ship or feel, it's just i'd rather not hear about it :p especially when it's not what i drew! but also i'm a favorite artist? 😳

you haven't been a weirdo at all! no pressure to go mask off but please don't let anything be because you think i think you're a weirdo or a loser, ok? it's not true! hooray reblogs my NUTRIENCE.. THANK YOU! (but haha this isn't a 'theyre in love' type of piece but the one i personally look at most disrespectfully is when i drew sl straight up eating xy's flesh off his ribs... i know cannibalism isn't for everyone though and neither is gory imagery! just... sharing... oversharing...)

for the aside: no problem! i will say for transparency purposes that my relationship with it IS complicated and that i personally would need it to fit a very uncommon mold (that i do not often see) for me to be like 👍 which is why i tend to stick to my own stuff + what a chosen few friends make when it comes to them in general, but my god you're a rare breed! i've never met anyone who had it as their otp!! you're braver than any US marine because it's such a rarepair it didn't make it into the like top 11 mdzs ships on ao3 or whatever...

3- i love talking though! i really appreciate your messages and i hope this response wasn't a complete jumbled mess ahhh...

thank you so so much for all the lovely praise and encouragement, getting these messages actually helped me break out of my funk a little and do some chores, so know your words do have an impact too! 💕 i need to remember more often that as long as even one person smiles at my work, it will have been worth it. i promise i'm trying ;; sometimes i get caught up in the numbers still and i'm very ashamed of that, but damn, you took time out of your day to let me know that you love and appreciate what i do, and that's honestly made me tear up a little, so THANK YOU AGAIN !! i'm sorry i'm failing at expressing myself and my gratitude properly kgjdklhjkgh (also, thank you for the xuechao support, like THAT's what i call a RAREPAIR! (canned laughter) i really try to spread the joy with those two)

i'm really floundering on how to say thank you well enough so... maybe i can show you some birthday art i made for a friend who also loves xy and sl and xy/chao (which of course now im being nitpicky about but the friend loved it so idc LOL)

#long post #INCREDIBLY long post #shin dont look #i could tell you my top 3 song lan bad takes that make me wanna maul but #then i would probably really get in trubs. what am i saying ive driven the people who said em away LONG ago lmao #also also: re: ship stuff from what youve said i think you would handle them well!!!!!!! #you like my art AND my fics i could melt rn #xy&sl

Awake.

Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan × fem!Omaticaya!bestfriend!reader

Warnings/tags: fluffy, neteyam getting exposed, mentions of pain/bruises, Neteyam is aged up for the purpose of veing able to choose a mate, laughing n kicking my feet rn bye

Summary: you are much more conscious than Neteyam thinks.

Context: reader got hurt the night before, neteyam layer with her as she fell asleep. Set on awa’atlu.

Notes: I FINALLY got this posted. I had this almost done and then tumblr did that annoying thingy where it deletes ur draft for no reason like r u tryna catch these hands rn. After that I just didn't have much motivation to write it and I had classes n shi. Also so so sorry to @summeroxx for this taking so long!! <33

(Also creds to random notion makers for the divider lol)

You dont know when exactly you fell asleep. You remember laying in his arms and feeling his warmth, sculpting out every detail on his face as if you were about to make a painting. Then the next thing you can think of was darkness.

Your peace is disrupted by the not-so-quiet footsteps and whispering that sounds more like an everlasting voice crack on a normal volume voice.

"Are you sure she's okay?shouldn't she be up right now?" An all too familiar voice asks.

"Leave her alone, Neteyam. Her sleeping is not in any way bad. Back off before you wake her up and she plucks your eyeballs from your head herself," the all so wonderful kiri tells him off.

Neteyam scoffs, and silence follows after. You rest in quiet for a minute, only hearing the light scrapes of Kiri grinding an herb and the pleasant clicking of animals outside. It must be early, you think.

Neteyam must have been staring, because you hear what sounds to be a light tap on skin followed by Kiri's voice. "You practically have txe'lans (hearts) bulging from your eyes, Neteyam. Spare the girl from your pining for the short while she sleeps." Kiri says, teasing Neteyam and triggering him to send a playful smack to her arm.

"Seriously bro. Either ask her out or stop grossing us out with your little romance in denial." Another voice speaks from the entry. Lo'ak.

"Shut up, skxawng! What if she's awake!?" Neteyam has a strong reaction, and it takes everything in you to not burst out laughing at the irony, which doesn't go unnoticed by Kiri.

You hear Kiri grab something, before feeling the presence of her beside you as she lifts up your bandages to check your wounds. She leans over your head, asking it appear to the others that she is simply getting a better angle to check you over.

To your surprise, she leans close to your ear and whispers, "I know you're awake. This is enough proof that your love is requited, yes?"

You nearly start choking. We're you being that obvious?

Before you even fully process her words, she gets up. "She is healing very well. She should be fully recovered in a couple days." She says. Just then, you pretend to just be waking.

"Oh! You're awake, finally." Neteyam says once he notices you supposed recent consciousness. "Wow, 'tey. Thanks for being so happy to see me." You joke.

You sit up with your legs on the ground, stretching your arms before standing up and stretching your legs. You cannot manage to pull your eyes away from Neteyam. You had really been pining over him only to find out so far in that he feels the same?

Kiri walks towards the exit, stopping to whisper to Lo'ak, before taking the shocked looking boy outside. You are now alone with Neteyam.

What are you supposed to say? Do you tell him? Do you ignore it? Your mind is filled with thousands of panicked thoughts before your trance is broken by the one that causes them.

"How do you feel?" He asks. It's a simple question, but it still has you worrying about what to answer. "I feel fine." Is all you manage to stutter out.

He looks as if he is about to speak, but you cut him off. "Neteyam, can you meet me at our tree at eclipse tonight? It's important." He looks confused, maybe even dreadful at what is to come judging by your expression.

You speed-walk out of there as soon as he nods, trying to hide your blushing face.

Exiting the marui, you find Lo'ak and Kiri guiltily staring at you, obviously spying.

"EwwwWWWwww, my brother and best friend are going to get it on tonight; in a tree! Blegh!" "Shut up Lo'ak."

-

It's been hours since then, and eclipse is very soon to come. You check on your appearance, feeling very paranoid about meeting neteyam. He had been out for most of the day, and when he wasn't you were avoiding him and the marui you share with him.

You begin to head to the tree you had found and marked as yours and met at many times weeks before, making sure to not catch neteyam on your way out. You sneakily make your way to the tree, being slowed down by your injuries but managing anyways.

You make it up onto the largest branch of the tree, finding Neteyam already awaiting your arrival. His head snaps in your direction and he stands up as soon as he recognizes you.

"Is everything okay? I haven't seen you all day." He asks, stepping close to you. "Yeah- everything's fine just.." you trail off, not knowing what words to say.

"Just what? What was so important that you must bring me here to tell me?" He is urging you to tell him now, he is becoming anxious.

Before he can push you any further, you say it straight up. "I wasn't sleeping in the healing marui this morning." You say. His expression almost makes you want to clamp your hands over your mouth, his shocked and embarrassed face giving you guilt.

"I.. uh." He chokes on his words, taking a step back and looking everywhere but your face. His ears fold back and he almost has the expression that he might cry, but we all know he has mastered hiding his tears.

"I'm sorry. That probably makes you so uncomfortable, that's why you were avoiding me. I don't want you to hate me-" "No, 'Tey. You don't get it. I've been waiting to hear that since I was 10 years old." You interrupt his rambling.

"You.. what?" He finally looks you in the face, confusion and slight relief displayed on his features. "You skxawng, I've been yearning for those words since I was a child! Do you not get it? I wasn't exactly disc-" before you can finish your sentence, he cut you off by kissing you.

The kiss is passionate and beautiful. It shares all of the feelings you cannot express in words. It tells the stories of how you've longed for eachother as long as you can remember. It gives the message of how entirely you have eachothers hearts, minds and souls right in grasp.

Unfortunately, you are living and have to breath. You both pull back, catching your breath and sharing lovesick smiles.

"I want you to be my mate." He utters. "I would want nobody else, Neteyam."

This time you are the one to kiss him, but this time it's different. This kiss is more needy, less cautious.

Now you are both sitting on your knees facing eachother, not breaking the kiss as you kneel. You reach your hand around his neck and lightly grasp the base of the braid that covers his tswin (braid/queue).

He breaks the kiss before reaching behind his head, grabbing the large braid and looking at you for approval. You nod and smile like a fool before grabbing your own.

You carefully inch the tendrils towards eachother before making tsaheylu, and sealing the bond. You feel every bit of love he has, not to mention other emotions. You are overwhelmed with a feeling of closeness to eachother, and it is the most extraordinary, unexplainable feeling youve ever felt.

He is your mate for life now. He is yours, you are his. 'awsiteng nìt'iluke (together forever).

Hii! I'm so happy I finished this, the ending was a bit rushed but I'm happy it's done. This was made fem!reader out of habit because it wasn't requested a certain gender, but I could for sure make it GN! if you would rather that!! Ilysm, ty for reading. Also sorry that this was short, I didn't really know how to finish it since it was a mating thing, and smut wasn't requested so like yk

(Also PLEASEEEEEEEEEE send requests I'm begging)

[crest-of-gautier]

pq posting before i go to bed! a shorter session (3 hours) but it was nice and i'm happy to say that i finished you in wonderland!

THIS WAS SO FUNNY... honestly i don't think i give enough credit to akihiko and mitsuru's dynamic they're literally so good i really enjoy how well they know each other but also they're like.. a constant in each other's life and i do enjoy their interactions a lot even if i never vocalize it...

wow yosuke, who would've thought that you two are partners, this guy literally introduced himself as your wife /s (i kinda regret naming souji yosuke wifey but im glad i wrote the y in lowercase bc otherwise i wouldn't be able to tell their dialogue apart 💀

and finally, yosuke <3

some more elaborate thoughts (aka speculation) under the cut because i learned my lesson from last time

ok unfortunately i can't say that im going to go AS INSANE as i did last time when i was spitballing in the tags for the second pq posting just because i feel like i aired out most of my "AAAA WHO IS ZEN AND REI??" there but.

i do have to say that i'm very glad i'm at the point where p3 and p4's casts are able to interact! i can't tell if it's because the writing feels like it shines a little bit better here rather than the solo casts (sometimes i roll my eyes at how junpei and akihiko are with some of the traits the writers play up), or if it's because i'm a guy who's very endeared by crossovers and interactions from characters who didn't exist in the original source material.

i had a lot of times where i was writing things down in my notes software during the crossover segments and im just?? really endeared and creatively inspired by it, to be honest. i really like this aspect of pq.

i think something that catches my interest with zen and rei at the moment is the difference in how they're.. regaining their memories. like... it's interesting to me that zen is able to get some of his memories back from the stuffed rabbit marked with "niko," but rei doesn't. i don't really know how much i can speculate off of this atm (i feel like this is something i'd get more info on when i progress through the second labyrinth, or it's something i'm missing out on because i can't use intertextuality to piece things together. i dont know shit about alice in wonderland.)

like it does make me think that maybe these two are like.. separate entities in that respect (rather than a shared one? but i could be wrong, and i welcome that!). but also there's something that makes my brain go "AAA" about how adamant zen is about wanting to protect rei despite not having any memories, because my brains like "WELL WHAT IF ZEN'S TRUE IDENTITIES AND MEMORIES ARE ACTUALLY THE OPPOSITE, AND DON'T WANT GOOD THINGS FOR REI." poorly phrased but like, it's about the irony, y'know.

i have no fucking clue what rei is supposed to be if we're going under the notion that they're two different things that have lost their memory (she is so head empty only food and its precious tbh). but like my brain just thinks that zen is just... going to end up being some awful incarnation or something like idk. there's something about persona characters with amnesia that make me raise my eyebrow... like just look at ryoji and marie and teddie...

and i guess as another thought on the matter, the way zen and rei work mechanically speaking does make me ponder a bit because like.. obviously, yeah, they can't equip a subpersona because they're... GESTURES. not persona users but FUCK, the way zen and rei have very distinct skillsets just make me wonder if those can allude to what they symbolize. like zen's skills are much more.. destructive and im just like (AIGIS VOICE) "YOU ARE DANGEROUS."

anyways. i am very much invested in the identities of zen and rei but i am also glad that the crossover stuff is here too because i think the sillies will keep me inspired... and also im just happy to see yosuke... i really like yosuke even if i forget that i do a lot of the time..

last thought, after seeing souji talk and move, i think i'd definitely want to look into p4 side... because um. 🥴 i'm really simple guy. i need more minato in my life. (everyone rolls their eyes. i'm predictable!) i want to see minato move and talk. i want to think about him. he's my boyfriend. he's my wife. he's my universe. im being so cringe about him but I DONT THINK THIS IS A SURPRISE TO ANYONE... i like him a lot (NO SHIT, LIZZ). but!!! idk if this'll be something that i watch or play, it depends on what the NG+ functionality in this game is like...

anyway gn!! thanks for reading my delusions im very much enjoying this game and im happy to be playin git.

#pq #lizz.txt #lizz.jpg #i like this game a lot... i GOTTA get better screenshots of the animated cutscenes from a playthrough sometime they're really cute #honestly cutscenes take forever for me to get through... i've been typing up dialogue of interest in my notetaking software as well as my #reactions because i like having documentation of what i thought while playing... #which is also why i also do a bit of speculating here too since i want to have it written somewhere you know #i have lots of things im curious about for this game!! #and mechanic wise i def look forward to exploring some different party members #im planning on making my party consist of minato + souji + yosuke + aigis #unsure if the fifth slot goes to naoto or zen and rei. depends on what subpersonas i have #i really like zen and rei's abilities but hnngh them not bing able to equip subpersonas is a bit hmmfor me gameplay wise #at least in terms of the sp buffer. they're definitely solid and low maintenance but im like. #surely there'll be a time where the sp regenration per each step you take gets outclassed right #unrelated BUT i AM losing my mind at how the megaten wiki does not have pq party member learnsets on the skill pages like what the fuck #actually malding that i had to go to gamefaqs to see if any of my party members learned media + recarm naturally or not... smh #but anyway. good game im enjoying it!

Howdy howdy hope you're having a good day. In the tags of one of your posts you mentioned feeling that you think Nasuverse Cú is "squandered" in some way. Is it just a lack of apperences? Characterization issues? Hope ya don't mind me picking your brain a bit. Personally I've always found Nasuverse's Cú Chulainn one of the better adaptations of the figure - mainly because it seems like he's the only one I've been able to find who actually *likes* being Cú Chulainn in a sea of adaptations that play him up in a morose, tragic, broody way were his own existence is a curse upon himself (Hound Graphic Novel you are my sworn enemy) - which feels like it carries the spirit of the hero a lot better. Hope ya don't mind this chunky ask and that little tangent I went on, and I hope ya have a great day!

Oh no prob. For me it's a combination of how his myth is incorporated and lack of appearances. Characterization wise I think he's amazing. I get why StayNight servants don't really do anything in FGO but I think only some of them deserved that treatment. Rider, Bersaka, Sabah, and Satan I get because they all had big roles throughout. Caster, both Assassins, and to a lesser extent GaShinda however I think deserved to have proper roles in FGO, and of those 4 the only one who ever got that was Carm. Kijiro was a complete joke in Shimousa, Medea got replaced with an objectively worse Lily in Okeanos and LB5, and proper Medea's only appearance in the main story was a fake out, and Cu somehow has 4 different servants (5 if we count Arcade) who have all done NOTHING AT ALL. Custer was our tutorial plot device, Proto Cu is a glorified Easter Egg, and Calter is just part of Medb's character rather than his own thing. Combine all of that with the fact that Cu's most notable thing in his original story is how no matter what he dies (and how none of those deaths are ones that take place at the center of the story, with only 1 being a major story moment. Funnily enough that's my preferred route for completely different reasons). I know he's a bigger deal in Hollow Atarxia and has a connection with Bazzett but I dont know jack about HA besides it's a time loop thing about Bazzett and Angry Mango. I do know that even in Extraverse he dies and it's so that Extra!Rin has a story excuse to get superpowers pretty much.

It feels to me like he's this really cool character who isn't undersold per se, it's just he also never...well, does anything, especially in FGO even when Castoria gets to be a thing, Carm gets to have a role, Emiya gets his Alter in a story role, and now Shirou and Kotomine are flat out major antagonists. What does Cu get? A berserker alter who doesn't even have Warp Spasm and whose entire character is how much he DOESNT have a personality beyond "Bored. Kill." When Custer finally got a real role in LB6, it wasn't even Cu who was doing the work, but Odin. Not Lugh, Odin. WtFUCK.

The irony is you're right about Fate feeling like one of the few depictions of him where he's allowed to just be content with himself and be cool, yet Nasu's writing has a seriously callous regard for Celtic mythology; he pretty blatantly leaves stuff out or appropriates it to fit British focused narratives, and his writing has heavy pro-imperialist themes in regards to British erasure of Celtic culture. He has the same attitude towards norse culture and I'm sure it's connected to Odin being in lb6 rather than Lugh. I honestly can't understand the thought process like why would make a Celtic hero one of your most well known characters with what seems like genuine fondness for their myth but then pull all that...?

But that's a whole other conversation. TLDR, I don't think he's a bad character - far from it. But I feel like I have no reason to care about him as his own character, and they don't even implement things that could expand on him so much like Proto Cu and his master or the Riastrad or Emer or Aife etc.

#I get that there's not enough time in the day to make every character special with a cast that size #especially when someone like Cu has the VN to fall back on but couldn't they at least have given Calter a proper Riastrad #fgo #fate cu chulainn #never thought i'd get an ask #character analysis #AND THE NAME CU CHULAINN

Sometimes because of how you share ocs with others sm it makes me question who I can make fanart of and for, which scares me outta doing it unless I can find them on your artfight page.

KSDJGNSDNFKJNFSDGKJFGDNSD OH NO ITS OKAY, yea I totally get where u r coming from on that tho, there's quite a few ocs who I have purposely kept mysterious on my main blogs just bc I think its fun and I do share my ocs with quite a few people. I do want to say tho that if u ever want to make fanart of Any of my characters u are entirely free to do so and to tag n post them. I think spoilers for stories are totally overblown and for me personally, I think even if I was to unleash like the entire timeline for all my stories and all the plot twists and such. The stories would still be worthwhile to read and consume bc really what makes a good story hit as hard as it should would be the actual expierence itself not just a bunch of plot twists n reveals. I just generally dont try to do that bc I dont want to suddenly dump the entirety of a story onto people when it hasn't been properly produced yet it just makes me feel bad KJNSDFKGJNSDFKJNDFGSD, like I'm getting people hyped over smth that doesn't exist properly yet-

Also bc a lot of my stories have dramatic irony, most of the time I'm not really trying to hide much from the audience I just love the tension of the viewers being in the know while the protags arent. If u ever want to make fanart for me and worry it involves spoilers or twists from the characters stories just know that I personally would really love to see it regardless and when u post it publicly it just makes me even happier bc it gives my characters the ability to reach even more people!

Also if u ever have a question on which ocs belong to who u r always free to ask! Hell if you're worried Roddy owns the character and not me u could always just tag me bc 99% of the time I share any fanart I get with them anyways DSFKGJNSDFGKJNDFKJNSD-

#ramblez #I have been thinking of making like my own entire website for the purpose of cataloguing my ocs #so its easier for people who like visit my art blog to just visit it read through some summaries and be in the know on whats going on #and who Im drawing n context for it n such- #esp bc info abt a lot of my ocs is dispersed among discord messages and tumblr posts etc #its hard for even me to keep track on what I've already shared abt them so who knows! #maybe a project for future me-

[munamania]

for the fic asks - F G H S T !!

ahhhhh thank you!!! i'm gonna put the answers under the cut since this is kinda long lol

also guys i love talking abt myself so like feel free to send more <3

F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.

Paranoid that other actors in these crimes will come busting down the doors at any moment, Nancy leans over the girl and taps on her face. “Please, please don’t do this.” Tears fall in a stream from her eyes onto Robin’s face. “Robin, get up! This isn’t funny.”

Blood pools against the her neck, burying her complexion in red. Nancy tries to feel for a pulse, but all she feels is the blood on her fingers. A scream works its way from the back of her throat to her teeth. “Wake up! Wake up! Fuck.”

i dont know if this, like, super counts as dialogue, but i really loved this part of two of a crime. and the following line after nancy flips out ( Nancy stumbles back into the warehouse, leaving the door open, and collapses in the room with Robin. She tries to stop the bleeding. Holds her hands against the girl’s neck. It’s not too deep, you’ll be okay , she tries to tell her, but she can’t get the words out. We’ll be okay. We made it, kid . ). nancy is so fucking smart and capable and incredible in action and that is beautiful to see! however. thinking about how she'd lost barb and quickly grown close to robin (which i called in this fic! js. i just knew they'd bond really quickly even if they did start as annoyances), watching her lose so much blood and shit i thought would of course get an insane reaction. like. she'd maybe really snap and break down. hence the ending. i think it's probably the most angsty thing i've ever written, and even if it's not all that bad, i'm really proud of it.

Mike blanches. “I don’t think I said that.”

“Oh, you definitely did.”

“Oh,” he nods, mind spinning, “well, you know…”

Will stands to be at Mike’s level, leans forward on his knees. Mike stops breathing. “I do,” he says, “but tell me again.”

Mike swallows down a breath of courage and suggests, “I think I might like you.” His eyes flit to Will’s lips, then back to his eyes. “Is that okay?”

“Yeah, I’ll allow it,” Will says, a bright smile causing lines near his eyes. Mike smacks at his arm, nervous laughter coming out with a quiet, ‘Shut up.’

as an alternative i just. i love confident will! i wanted this to be as true to the characters as i could fathom while also being. perhaps mildly corny due to the holiday feel. i was really happy with this and tying the 'crazy together' moment back into it.

G: Do you write your story from start to finish, or do you write the scenes out of order?

it sorta depends! i mostly write from start to finish, unless i have a specific moment/piece of dialogue that i know for sure i want later on. then it's a little easier to build around that and i sometimes find myself writing a far better build-up than there would've been otherwise, probably. i really admire writers that have plot points and stuff super planned out in advance, but i tend to just have a vague idea of what i want and feel it out as i go.

H: How would you describe your style?

god i really don't know. i'd love to hear how it's perceived lol. i am very... i tend to be comedic i think? i'm not afraid to be sarcastic/play with irony in my narration, to the point that i sometimes worry it won't come across well. i am also very dialogue-driven, which is something i want to work on. i literally like act out what the characters say sometimes to see if it feels realistic, and because of that i also probably overuse dialogue tags and little movements in between (almost like a script instead of 'prose' or whatever). i'm sort of fast-paced as well i think? idk i've very aware of pacing. like i'm rather quippy with my transitions and stuff because it just makes sense to me. i worry it's lazy sometimes but hey it works

S: Any fandom tropes you can’t resist?

waugh i don't know!! idk if i fall into tropes very often??? i've definitely like slipped in 'sharing a bed' quite a bit throughout the years, but i think that's as close as i get. honestly maybe i need to be more tropey.

T: Any fandom tropes you can’t stand?

hmm i think it goes without saying when people really change a character's personality to fall into a clean-cut dynamic (esp when it involves....... making one character way more submissive yk.) i cant think of any classic tropes that i specifically hate

garg mental illness section yar:

I mask alot in my day to day life and this looks like me being really people pleasy and also kind of irony poisoned and constantly doing a bit, this account is an attempt at my being myself arc but you might notice me still being like that.

also i have a weird thing where i think everyone hates me and/or is made generally uncomfortable by my presence even if people are really nice to me so i might not interact with people that much unless they interact with me first,

i swear sometimes, misspell things often, also i have a hard time with writing so sometimes stuff i write wont make as much sense as it could and i sometimes write with tone indicators bc i cant tell how much what im saying makes sense. and my writing can also get kind of rambley

also i dont really know how subtext works so if you talk useing that im not going to understand you srry like this concept is utter sorcery to me i dont even fully understand what this would entail like someone makes a joke and it informs that the subject matter of their joke is something they are comfortable jokeing about or is something that causes them stress and they are joking as a coping mechanism perhaps and what either of those could inform about thier life/worldview if they were correct assumptions and the subtext is that??

dni:

people who use the phase "birthing hips" in any capacity

allistic people who say "acoustic" or "tism" as a euphemism for autistic

people who hate furries and/or therians

Irony of the batfam is like bruce adopted the batkids so that they have a chance of a normal childhood, but because of robin training i cant imagine there was time to be a normal kid day to day, going out with friends, just chilling, or just doing whatever or developing a hobby. Whatever remaining innocence they might have still had was proberbly stripped away as well.

Reply-Reply to Purified-Zone: We Need to Talk about Nepeta

ok so, for context, this question is in response to This Post about the Puma Sisters which applies the sort of absurdist fantasy naturalism popularized by the clown-breeding meme to Catgirls.

I didn’t tag that Nepeta because I think Nepeta is a fundamentally DIFFERENT take on Catgirls, one that is both more and less mature.

How less? Well in Homestuck, after Murderstuck and Cascade, Nepeta is generally treated as a joke character and a way to needle fans, and even before then there was always an undercurrent of her being used to comment on catgirls&fangirls as an internet&fandom type.

How more? Bc in subverting the common image of catgirls and fangirls, she makes the point that tropes dont define ppl, ppl define themselves. Catgirls tend to be paper tigers or glass cannons, and she canonically hunts and kills Alternian predators with just a set of clawgloves for fun(and also skins and prepares their hides for wearing, which is a HUGE undertaking so basic to her she barely mentions it). Catgirl fashion practically defines anime fetishwear, and yet she dresses(aside from the peltcap) like an oldschool goth in oversized trenchcoat, slacks, and a nice, practical belt. Catgirls tend to be oversexed and sexually aggressive while she’s shy, retiring, thoughtful, and her only canonical romance is a moirallegiance. Most stories dealing in catgirls never really give you a look at their interiority, typically present them as fairly surface-level, what-you-see-is-what-you-get type characters, and Homestuck certainly doesnt give her as much time as she deserves but right off the bat Nepeta is a roleplayer; she’s a person whose central hobby is pretending to be someone else.  She’s someone we don’t get to see or hear much of and which many of the characters don’t seem to take seriously and yet, as we can see in the convos we DO get and from her shipping wall, she’s one of the deepest thinkers in the cast. She IS a catgirl, but she’s also all this stuff which media with catgirls, and general internet-consensus at the time HS started, would tell you catgirls cant be, and there is no contradiction in that bc the ‘contradiction’ only lives in your head, not reality.

There is a compelling irony in Nepeta, the catgirl, a stock-character who is trophically oversexed and shallow, being shy and thoughtful; a shipper, a stock-character who is trophically driven by enthusiasm, being interested in relationships As A Technical matter; a joke character meant to be disposable being one of the most sincere, and loving, and deeply loved and mourned, characters in the story. And I won’t ignore that, also, her ships are just accurate and good; she knows who will work well together and who won’t; she handles her pain in healthy ways and gives ppl good advice about handling theirs. Nepeta is overlooked and dismissed, by both her peers and the narrative(in the same way fangirls, the foundation of modern fandom, were long overlooked and dismissed before being awarded a FLIPPING HUGO for Ao3), and yet she’s generally one of more insightful voices ON psychological and relationship issues in a story where ppl listening to someone with insight about those things probably would have been super-helpful. Whether intended or not, Nepeta ends up being a commentary on fandom itself in the late 00s and 10s, and an emblem of it today, when we are all catgirls uwu

rating fandom affection terms for characters because i have nothing better to do

favorite character-simple, straight forward, not bad at all, but it lacks spice and a true demonstration of love, 8/10 gets the job done

problematic favorite-a great term, once again straight forward but in this case about the guy in question being acknowledged as a stinky rascal, 10/10

cinnamon roll-its ok, i was never into it bc idc for those types of characters, suffered a sad fate of eventually becoming a term associated with diminishing characters into just their "cute and pure" traits, 2/10 bc i remember it getting really annoying after a while, it being from old fandom times society wants to forget doesnt help its case

smol bean-same feelings as above, but suffered a more tragic fate that its downfall was caused by 30 years old adults attempting to call themselves smol beans, 1/10 i use smol every once in a blue moon

tol-i honestly dont think this was ever put in proper use, it was created to match smol but taller people (in fandom height standards thats anyone above 5'0) do not give off the vibes fandom people need to want to infantalize them, 5/10 for sounding a bit funny

waifu/husbando-i think someone using those to refer to any character at all should be a red flag, 1/10 someone can get more 4 points if their favorite is of age to be called that

best girl/best boy-can be a red flag but can also be used as a term for "whos your favorite from *gender*?" so it gets a mild pass, 4/10

baby boy (baby)-cute! came from a decently funny meme, 7/10 funny to scream out when youre rotating them in your brain

gay baby-im honestly convinced this wasnt used by a single lgbt+ person outside of like, maybe a gay baby jail joke, 0/10 called me a slur

rat-was funny the first fifty times, 6/10 not horrible but after a while it felt like itd meet the same fate as cinnamon roll

komaeda-i do not know how i feel about this, if its used in a conversation itll either be hilarious or be the worst attempt at making a character summary, ???/10

twink-i keep getting flashbacks to the chubby twink fight in that post about the animal crossing owls everytime i hear it, 6/10 i dont know what it means anymore

sexyman-funny term for us, slur for the characters, im confused if this is even an affection term/10

son/daughter-adorable i love seeing this get used for a character who had family issues, 8/10 just very sweet

poor little meow meow-the specific brand of irony is genius, its like watching a victorian woman throw bread crumbs at a starving orphaned homeless child, 9/10 my friend wanted to kill me for calling lancelot from king arthur my meow meow

skrunkly-meow meow but with a bigger brand of pity, truly like seeing a cat who just got out of a bath and is in misery, 10/10

blorbo-a fine revolutionary term used to fight back against angry ops their posts were getting fandom tags in the fandom app, 20/10 cured my fear of judgement

*any sexual term*-would maybe be a bit funny if you guys used it for men who actually look pretty for once, 2/10 has ironic potential

slut/whore-very funny if used in a couple of men, otherwise its just awkward 3/10

any graphic paragraph of wanting to fix a man through something such as putting them in rice-a great way to show concern but still hint at being able to laugh at them, 10/10 i tried joking about this with a friend outside of tumblr and she acted like i was insane

will update if i remember more <3

[daily-wof-designs]

Design Process - Book One!

Here’s my general thoughts behind each of my designs for book one! You can find all these designs under the tag ‘#tdp’

Clay - Simple, basic MudWing design. I did add his scar he gets in book five though, from Peril and the Dragonbite viper!

Hivutir - We dont get much of him, but the phrase ‘moon-silver scales’ made me want to give him a moon motif!

Cattail - She’s described as having lighter dapples on the wings, which is interesting.

Webs - I wanted to make him look wimpy and droopy. I also gave him web-patterns for his lights.

Kestrel - Made her grumpy haha. She has burns on her palms and a talon-shaped one on her face from Peril in the books, which I don’t see often in fanart!

Marsh - Nervous boy lol

Dune - I never realized how intracate his design was! The wings were fun, and I gave him lots of small scars

Morrowseer - I couldn’t make him pitch black so I went for really dark blue. I also gave him silver teardrop jewelry as a small bit of irony.

Crane - I tried to give her feathery-patterns on her wings to mimic a real crane!

Blister - Sleek and pale like a snake, with the diamond patterns she has in canon.

Gill - Poor guy. I tried to make him a yellowy-green, and gave him jewelry he would’ve had in his royal hey-day.

Umber - Not much to say. Simple MudWing design.

Horizon - I made his eyes sky-blue and made his wings look like mountains on a sunset (aka the horizon)

Scarlet - (in vine voice) WHY SHE NAMED SCARLET IF SHE IS NOT SCARLET. AMERICA EXPLAIN. EXPLAIN!

Pheasant - I gave her a pheasant-feather earring, and the same bird patterning as Crane!

Fjord - I don’t know what inspired me to give him white snow-flecks on his wings, but I sure did

Burn - I wanted to make her big and heavy looking, like a tank. I also based her design off of my Char design (char is her father!). I was close to giving her ram horns, but scrapped it.

Sora - I wanted to make her colors meek and muted, like she was!

Vermillion - I made his colors the brightest, most saturated fuck-you red because I think its funny. And also if you name a dragon after a color tHEY SHOULD BE THAT COLOR *COUGH* SCARLET *COUGH*

Reed - I gave him similar wing markings to his mom.

Osprey - In the books he has a paralyzed tail but in the GNs he straight up has no wings? So I kinda did both.

Asha - she was always red in my mind.

Addax - Addaxes are white goats, so I tried to emulate that.

Moorhen - I tried to give her moorhen patternings (on the wings and beak) as well as the embedded jewels she has in canon and a flower crown with marsh flowers!
