who are the top 3 mischaracterized rq characters and why are they sabre shadow and light

#favremysabre #rainbow quest #everytime light is written as a mean uncaring person a fairy loses its wings #and when sabre is written as some soft uwu trauma boy who cant take care of himself #and whatever the fuck happened to shadow. why r people afraid to write him being evil. like at all. #he is the an evil dramatic bitch he is not friendly and caring to sabre or dark!!! what!!!!!! #i gotta stop ranting in tags #maybe ill make a post complaining about this

> Someone remind me to elaborate on how I want to characterize Kirby later

:) ? I'm curious now

Like I said on the post that prompted this, he's a nice silly boy who's also the strongest being in the known universe. He's pretty emotionally mature for his age and always wants to help people out. Kirby radiates positivity to everyone around him. He's the kind of person that makes a really great friend.

He loves simple pleasurable things, like eating and sleeping and playing. When he's not saving the world, he's out somewhere enjoying himself, probably with a buddy.

His life isn't perfect. He's unsure of himself and doubts if he deserves everything he's got. He feels guilty for not always being able to save everyone, regardless if that's even possible. He loses his patience sometimes, most often with people like Marx or Magolor who like to push his buttons. He struggles with identifying and dealing with his feelings, especially negative ones.

When he feels bad, though, his friends have his back. They care about him a lot, especially his closest friends like Bandana Waddle Dee and Gooey.

#kirby series #kirby #hope this is coherent #i really appreciate it when people (*cough* like kaissauce) really flesh out his personality and give him problems to worry about #so often i see him characterized as like. this stupid baby who has to be taken care of by our REAL protagonists: MK and DDD #stop sidelining the main character. do something interesting with him. learn to write children well. im begging. #every character deserves to be complicated and three dimensional. im sick of characters like kirby and gooey being reduced to- #-one dimensional babies in favor of focusing on like shipping or whatever. #ok done ranting in the tags of this two week old ask. #sorry again for the late reply. gotta wait until i'm motivated to write and feeling confident enough to share to answer these.

I have GOT to stop smoking and talking politics bc every time I smoke and see my youngest sibling I’m like hey. Wanna know why I hate capitalism and specifically landlords and then that’s the next two hours

ugly maths.

i hate maths, right. i don't usually like numbers, and if i do like numbers it's gotta be an 8 or a 48 and nothing else.

thing is, i've recently caught myself doing maths again. ugly maths. the kind of maths that, really, i've been trying to avoid as much as possible because, well, it's ugly!

you... wanna see?

okay, fine... but don't say i didn't warn you!

ugly, see? look at all those numbers! not a 48 in sight!

huh? what's that? you don't see what i'm on about? oh... oh! hang on, lemme just—

better? yes? no? no? okay, what if i—

mmh, yes. ugly numbers. see it now? can you see why they're ugly?

here, i can make it worse.

these numbers are ugly. the maths they make me do is ugly.

now i'll level with you: the worst ones by far are the yellow numbers. the maths they make me do it the ugliest.

why ugly?

because it makes me ugly.

those numbers turn me into not only a suddenly number-obsessed fool, but a fool who also cannot understand these numbers and what they mean and why i feel like they reflect on me and my ability.

87, 75.

the thoughts are as follows:

• the orange numbers are big, so why are you being ugly about the yellow ones? you should be happy with what you have. so many nice big numbers! not everyone receives that.

• is it that there are two different audiences for these two different fics? perhaps. they are quite different works, with different appeals, and different themes. maybe you are reading too much into it.

• why are you obsessing over numbers anyway? you don't like maths! you left maths behind when you were 16, put it down!

okay, okay, fine! i'll put the maths down. right here, in fact!:

that 87 was an 83 at the start of the year. the 6161 it is attached to was a 5453.

4, 708.

ugly maths.

the 75 is a nice number. in fact, compared to 87, it is beautiful, radiant, enchanting. at the start of the year, 75 was 48. wow. now that is one sexy number!

27.

mmmm.

6161, 1061.

5100.

87, 75.

12.

mmmm.

you know, my most favourite comment left recently on a fic of mine was 2 characters long: :(

it made me :)

well, actually, it made me >:) because it was left in response, presumably, to one of the key scenes in a new chapter which left the exact impression on someone that i hoped it would.

they must be the only one who reacted like that, though.

1.

have i mentioned that that 87 and 75 include author responses?

i won't try to do more maths, there. it might not end well for me. the maths is making me tired enough as it is, and i have an early start tomorrow.

oh! but, that being said, i have another set of ugly numbers to show you, so keep 87 and 75 in mind.

ready?

838, 245.

(want a hint? the green numbers!)

838, 87. 245, 75.

9.6, 3.3.

ugly maths. it's ugly again, see? i don't like it. i'm seeing numbers within numbers within numbers, and i can't seem to stop!

the numbers make me ask new questions:

• why is it not good enough?

• people seem to engage more with one fic over the other, so shouldn't you prioritise?

• is all this maths this really good for you?

no, it isn't.

i want to avoid ugly maths. ugly maths makes me want to tear my hair out. it makes me want to start from scratch. it makes me want to grab someone and scream. it makes me want to cry and press a button that has tempted me many times before when the numbers become too ugly to bear.

ugly maths turn me into an ugly person.

ugly maths make me obsessive, paranoid, anxious, regretful, vindictive, spiteful, alone.

i hate maths. i hate numbers, just like, it feels, the numbers hate me.

#helia rants #cw vent #i'm okay but i'm not #this has been playing on my mind over the last couple of weeks #it's aimed at the sky rather than anyone here #i know i'm not the best myself as commenting. i justify it to myself by affirming i don't read much. which i don't. #since the start of the year i have tried to comment on everything i have read #bearing in mind i may also dm someone rather than comment because i want to scream and ramble about their fic more personally #that being said. i know i'm not the only one who finds themselves doing ugly maths #and in turn starting to feel uglier too #i don't like looking at the numbers #i was doing well at the start of the year #but as i open my drafts and look to a new chapter and at the notes i wrote #i can't stop myself from opening the fic. from seeing where it's at. from seeing if it's changed. from checking my inbox to see if... #if only... #what it's meant is that i've come to a point where a fic i loved has become exactly that: a fic i loved. past tense #the other fic is still a fic i love. but i know deep down that that is tied to the numbers too #i hate that this is what i've become #because i have tiny fics. fics with 50 hits and maybe 1 comment. and i love them. i still love them #but when it comes to the big ones. the multi-chapters. the hefty fics. after a point all i see are numbers #and those numbers have come to determine both my happiness and fulfilment as a writer #and so i am ugly. i am sad. i am pathetic. #and i don't know how to stop. #helia's stuff #this was meant to save back into my drafts. i was editing tags. tumblr decided it should post. so... so be it. #also this is not an attention thing if anyone dares go 'oh but you're a good writer uwu' i might do something we'll all regret #this is also not a 'ffs comment on my fics will you 😒' hell no #it's just about me. and my issue. and my unhealthy relationship with these fucking numbers. #gotta get this shit out of my head somehow :)

classes starting up again after spring break and oh my god there's barely more than a month to get these projects in finished states oh fuck oh god i'm going to explode this schedule was such a mistake oh my god literally growing gray hairs as we speak

worst part is that i care a lot for most of the school work but im having to choose between which ones to actually put attention into cause i literally don't have enough time or energy in the day to split across everything god i cant wait for summer when i can just relax and focus on my own shit for once cause god that felt so unbelievably good during spring break

#ramble #txt #sorry for the rants periodically #things could of course be much muhc worse #at least the classes are cool for the most part and im proud of what im helping make #but oh my god i wish i could just focus on one or two of these things not split across all like 5 or 6 or whatever #so many things i wanna do but here i am making a slideshow on the mistral typeface #which tbf has a pretty neat history but like do i really need to be doing this right now of all times #okah i gotta stop now im ranting in the tags too k byeeeeee

I just found your blog and I love everything you do! Could you please draw something with Szut? I love this character so much ❤

Thank you so much! Honestly I've been really enjoying returning to tumblr, the best part of posting here is hearing all the incredible feedback. I got pretty excited seeing your message and I wasn't quite sure what to do for Szut, I hope this super quick animation will do!

his design is so cool but also kinda tricky to get right

#asks #fanart #animation #2d animation #tintin #adventures of tintin #gif #piotr skut #captain skut #i love messages and feedback! this blog honestly keeps me energised to continue animating #i graduated in 2020 and only got two animation jobs since lol #there's no proper studio work anymore #the animation industry is looking a lot more like gig work which really sucks #anyway i gotta stop ranting in the tags

[eclaire-went-bam]

hiii:33!! friendly reminder that someone can enjoy a character that has done heinous things and not support said heinous things

usually when a character does Bad Things in a narrative (espec if they're not the protagonist) it is Portrayed As Bad so people who enjoy the character Likely Know They Are Bad

& either way harassing people over enjoying a fictional character is just really childish

if you don't like the character, that is perfectly valid. but there's never any reason to characterise everyone who likes said character as Evil, and/or imply they condone the character's negative actions.

also sometimes i look at internet discourse and it's like people want morally grey characters but then turn around when "morally grey" is not always "i have my own rules but i still make all the right choices !!" some of y'all just need to admit you just like good characters that's fine not everyone is into the spice it's ok to like that good protagonist energy

;;;not saying every character i'm referring to fits in that "morally grey" category, some are just evil villains, but even then i'm sorry 90% of ur stories wouldn't exist without them. they drive the plot.

#not really a rant #being in the hazbin hotel rdr2 and genshin fandoms just rlly makes me question people sometimes #maybe tumblr's fine? idk i've only gotten more active on tumblr suuuper recently. but i've definitely seen some rancid stuff on #**other platforms #fandom #there's also definitely gender bias in this let's not lie to ourselves. #there are some things a character can do that they'd forgive in a man but not a woman and vise-versa #generally speaking people who go “i know she did the same thing but He's So Babygirl” or “he did the same thing but She's Just A Girlboss” #rlly annoy me #it's fine to like one character over another even if they're pretty similar and use those terms to describe them #but ive seen soo many people criticise one character but then suddenly forgive the same crimes from another character on the basis of gender #it's seriously annoying #idrc if a character has done bad things but is more complex like dutch van der linde #or is simply evil just because they can be like the three vee's #just stop. no i don't like them to romanticise their crimes. especially if you put it into a realistic context #shocker !! il dottore enjoyers do not want kids to be experimented on #sometimes i'll even just Mention a character i like and someone will just go “i hate them they're so ugly die die” like bro i know. #r u done now. be normal. i know ur being silly but it's annoying that i can't talk abt anything because y'all gotta make VERY clear that #so&so is a bad person like yea no duh! #anyways oop long tags 💀💀💀 #maybe this was a rant after all. i've seen this moral purity with characters both online and in personal friend groups & i care abt my eps #but some of y'all gotta chill

i'm so normal about him.

GAH!

Been feeling a little scuffed lately and since I can't precisely go to the gym, since it closes early on Saturdays, I'm stuck here to ruminate. Suppose I could go on a bikeride if I really wanted to do something productive with my time, but no, it's time for a self-aware, pathetic rant.

I suck, I can't even handle two days alone at work while the new guy trains and my manager gets a much-needed set of two days off. I don't know why this shit matters. I guess since it frustrates me so much is because I feel like I suck at my job-- and my brain naturally resists new information and change because it prefers to choose its own perception of reality.

Or maybe I do.

It's probably me, it is me, yeah, it's me. That feels good to say and to own. It's me. I'm the piece of shit because I like to live in a fantasy-land compared to reality, where I *need* to live in order to feed my family-- even though I'm really just feeding Family-Sized bags of cliché bits to myself-- like right-clicking to make sure you put the little thingy over the E when saying that word I just said. You know the one.

I'm too lazy to write it out, which is how I get even with the universe. I feel like people get even with each-other way more often than they'd like to admit. Sitcoms have poisoned us all-- or maybe conditioned is a better word since a majority of people seem capable of operating off of the standard of "your line-- my line-- your line-- my line--" for the sake of conducting business.

We're firing pistols at each-other, or if you prefer a softer evoke, we're dancing. It doesn't make sense to anyone in the world except for us in one way. The entire world perceives it differently. You see prey, I see predator, or maybe vice-versa. The world sees an anxious young idiot trying to fumble his way through a social interaction, and I write new blog posts.

Pfft. I actually think I have a future in writing. This is hilarious. I wish all of the people who saw me in the past writing, and made fun of me, could see me now and make fun of me again just so I could finally stop-- developing a complex and obsessing over proving them wrong. Spite's a powerful motivator, and it's motivating me to write this in the first place.

I'm spiteful that the gym's closed, spiteful that this world is going to get so much motherfucking harder before it gets easier for me from here on in for a while-- and there's not much I can do about it. I don't have a lot of moves left. Nothing to do but grind through it, I suppose. Next-hurdle mode, so to speak. I need to enter a heightened state of alertness tomorrow, so I'll cut it clean here tonight and now, and I get that this was cheap, but this was fun.

See you next tirade!

Tbh I needed to add I heavily disliked this chapter because you put the "if they’re not toxic I’m bored" mentality into perfect words and I don’t love relating to horrible characters 🥰🥰

Jadeeeee, I expected better from you 😔 shouldn’t chase toxic people. the only reason I can write this fic somewhat well is due to my lack of healthy relationships and tendency to hook up with exes. You deserve better than that

Ok, actually a lot of comments hated this chapter fr tho 😭 I said this before but I really don’t think people understand when they say that they love whatever ship but toxic. No, you don’t, you like that possessive obsession mafia typa stuff. You don’t like toxic relationships that can very well be realistic & aren’t all fun and games. People hate on this one popular wolfstar fic because their relationship is realistically toxic, and then turn around and post TikToks about their need for more toxic jegulus… like, im not sure you understand the definition of toxic in regards to relationships

#selene is oversharing #should probably start tagging asks #sorry jade I’ve been getting shit and used ur ask to rant 😭 #PEOPLE!!! stop reading If u don’t wanna see toxic portrayals!! idk how many times i gotta say this

pls keep your fingers crossed for me that after finishing this course i will never have to talk to this dude who took it with me ever again, bc otherwise i'm about to do something drastic.

Oh gosh I finished some online testing as a second part to applying to a job and I'm really nervous about the company wanting me at all.

I feel like shriveling up into a void until an email or call comes in to wake me back up.

I don't wanna get my hopes up either, though. I know a lot of applications just don't get responded to. But it'd be so nice to have this little job I found. It's a role I don't see much at all and yet I do feel confident I can do it. I rarely have confidence in being a "good employee" anywhere due to my medical issues and limitations. This is a fully remote job too. -heavy breathing-
