one piece filler ep where they run into another peto-peto villain of the week guy but this time instead the devil fruit power rearranges people's brain chemistry so they have the thoughts behaviours emotional intelligence etc of a dog. zoro gets hit but he's just exactly the same

#it's a problem in that of it's a non-problem. i.e. no one notices so it never gets addressed. the straw hats just leave #zoro starts growling and barking at an enemy mid-fight and nami's like i really wish this was new for you but we all know it's not. #sanji finds zoro in the store room like 4 weeks later on all fours gnawing on a bone and is like yeah nothing out of the ordinary here #(kicks him out) #his tactile needs increase marginally but luffy's already on top of this so it goes entirely under the radar #he catches a rabbit with his bare teeth and starts shaking it around and usopp just starts screaming CAN YOU FUCKING STOP WITH THAT SHIT #(normal usopp-zoro interaction) #zoro gets flocked by children one time and he just. accepts it. Lets them pile up and crawl all over him. And Robin's like ''actually....' #''No. Nothing new.'' #the gang only start getting suspicious 4 months in when zoro gets into a habit of sitting between luffy's legs or at his feet #but the suspicion is honestly more directed towards the relationship status there #one piece #op #opla #zolu #roronoa zoro #zoro #CJ's op watch-through

The weekend retreat was SO lovely, you guys. I felt like a teenager again, and that isn't just because we spent two and a half hours running around in the dark tackling and wrestling and nearly biting each other in a frenzy to win a game that got WAAAAY too competitive xD

#it's SO funny to me that i was tackled to the ground FOUR times. like my dudes what threat do **i** pose to you?? i'm SMALL and SLOW #and have been complaining since 8:30 of fatigue and wanting to sleep (like a little old granny) and y'all KNOW i don't do strenuous exercis #regularly. so like. whyyyy four timessss i had gravel in my mouth and was so indignant #anyway this just goes to show that i'm not very competitive and only get that way when REALLY worked up #anyhow it was lovely! lots of singing and praying and time beside/inside the lake :D #am feeling much refreshed!

You have to love when you've been putting your raw soul, suffering, and hard work into your life every single day daily and the only thing that you wake up for is your raw passion for your art and a lot of it is fanfiction, just to go on Reddit for those fandoms at the end of the day and to see anonymous people say "All I can find is terrible self-insert fanfiction" and knowing that there's a likeliness that they are referring to yours or at least one of them because mine is the longest one within the characters tag

#Yes this is about Rick Sanchez #The story for him that I'm writing is only just getting started and it's obnoxiously long #And the only reason why I get up in the morning #And you can imagine how it feels like for this to be the second fandom in a row where I only get feedback from people posting vaguely on Re #complaining about how the fandom only has what they call terrible fanfiction #I know they probably don't even try themselves and I shouldn't care what they think but mental illness is 🤯🤯🤯 #then that 🫠🫠🫠 #Believe me when I say that the way that I'm ranting about this is the hyper filtered version because this is Tumblr #I am literally beyond finished and devastated in this world has taken absolutely everything from me #Even my will to simply collect myself with art from what the world puts through me #regardless it goes without saying that I hate absolutely everyone and everyone hates me #I don't think it will ever change it's been this way everyday for four dysfunctional years

[Coping with Loneliness and Cracks in Control]

Ah, it’s happening again. This irritating habit of leaving the body alone But there’s no one here either. It’s youyouyou no matter how much you call. (so cavernous it echoes) so stop doing it Your mind has been cracked open over and over again with every repair the damage worsens how long? “Tuvok, how do you do it?” desperately. The Vulcan mind is a fascinating thing. Mysterious. Resilient. Much like the Vulcan people - it can survive much worse than this. “Give me all you’ve got!” because I’m empty empty empty desperately. Meditate. Sort it out. Hm? Isn’t this too much for less than half a person? I can’t live like this. What other choice do you have? [A Mind Meld - Desperately]

#Tuvok #my writing #bea art tag #-guy who's about to say some wild bullshit-.........so hear me out #Vulcans are born with bonds. They're bonded with their parents who in turn have their own bonds and it reaches back as long as Vulcans have #existed - they're a culture of bonds and telepathy who derive affection and comfort and peace THROUGH this bonds #(evidenced by the 'flame' of pon farr being 'put out' through bonding with another Vulcan) #I'm sure a great amount of control and satisfaction is derived through them. Also as I've stated before Tuvok & T'Pel consider themselves as #part of one another in a more extreme way than human romantic partners (two bodies one mind) #so when Tuvok is thrown into the delta quadrant he loses all of these bonds ('They are a part of me and I feel incomplete without them') <- #to me 'incomplete' here isn't an emotion like a human would experience it but like...literally if someone took half your brain and shot four #holes in what was left of it. If you've operated 60 something years thinking in tandem with another person then losing them would be losing #a great deal of yourself. And it's not like Tuvok has other bonds to fall on like he might on Vulcan if this occured - he's got NO ONE #he has humans and other aliens surrounding him but they aren't Vulcan and he doesn't bond with any of them telepathically but you know what #he does do?? like a notable amount?? mind melds #and also have his brain invaded by forces he didn't consent to #this combination makes me think about Tuvok who is so desperately lonely and also afraid - the first Vulcan without bonds - making it all up #as he goes along bc he has to (everyone has to) and bc he has no one he can confide in that would understand or really be able to help him #in tandem afraid of his mind being out of his control and wanting himself to feel whole again even if only momentarily - even he's #attatching himself to someone who will only worsen his mental strain (bc he has no excuse to mind meld with someone who's healthy - though #it would be beneficial to him as we see that's a treatment to trauma canonically) #Tuvok (suffering from tremendous alien forms of trauma that he keeps exposing himself to voluntarily in a move that is all at once #self-soothing and self harm): I do not require assistance. I am Vulcan. #If the writer's aren't going to explore Tuvok's inner world then listen. LISTEN. /I AM!!!!!!/ #I'M GONNA DO IT EVEN IF IT MAKES ME LOOK STUPID #I hope any of this made sense #st voyager #st voyager art #Tuvok art #comix

i'd like to think nevada knows puck actually, and is getting wasted on the strip tonight

#wttt hockeyposting #lynx rambles #he had the best seats in the house #he's been vgk's ride or die since day 1 #believed in em from the start #went to every away game #look he literally fucking works on the strip how is he NOT going to know about his team getting to playoffs #and the whole storyline of misfits and stuff #he got one of those scarves he's wearing it loud and proud everywhere he fucking goes #HIS TEAM WON!!! #there was some map about most of the states/provinces rooting for florida #this is his stanley cup (literally) #the worst part abt this all is that florida doesnt know and may never really know about the stanley cup #so he cant brag as much as he'd like #but he can brag to the NE and gov (gov doesnt know puck either) AND THATS WHAT COUNTS #LONG LIVE SUN BELT HOCKEY!!!! #anyway patiently awaiting ben bringing this up in an ep and thatll be the first ep ive watched in a few months and maybe the only ep #florida having his teams make the final four fucking years in a row is criminal i hate it sm #yes i inherited my grudge against the lightning (and by extension the panthers) from wttt what r u gonna do abt it

it's interesting how when i read the words 'christmas break' i see time off uni to be with family in the holiday season but when my lecturers read it they see 'time to study for four in-person exams in january covering everything we've done in the semester'

#i just think that's interesting. like what does 'break' mean in their language. do they have christmas #furious about this if you cant tell #i have so. much. content to cover in 20 days and im working at the pub again #my first shift back is tonight and im lowkey bricking it #bc i know i always joke that im gonna have forgotten how to waitress but waitressing is like riding a bike #it's just that my place has lots of tiny specific things we HAVE to do on shift and i just KNOW ive forgotten it all #im gonna make so many mistakes this shift while i find my footing again which should be fine #but they hired SO MANY NEW PEOPLE when all the student crowd left for term time #and the people im on shift with this evening are either people i dont know or people i actively dislike #like only TWO GIRLS im friends with are working tonight this is the worst crowd to be shambolic with #they do not appreciate the shenanigans #so on top of all the shifts ive picked up im also supposed to be revising for exams in january #mind im the only course i know that have in person exams let alone FOUR OF THEM RIGHT AFTER XMAS #economics wants me dead i swear to god #me and the school of business are in a fistfight except im crying and bloody on the ground #hella goes to uni

the bucket job when alexadra and sophie are walking side by side, it sort of struck me as telling of their positions. idk if it was intentional but the way that theyʻre composing themselves is so different--

alexandra is throwing her body around a bit more- hips jut out a tad further to be entirely due to walking in heels, the way the dress bares her shoulders draws attention to the fact that sheʻs moving them with purpose, her legs come a little quicker and farther out --- and yeah reading body language as a tell-all is shit and ableist irl but these are actors and theyʻre playing a part so bear w me -- itʻs like sheʻs strutting like someone who is desperate to get somewhere but has to act cool about it and is failing. itʻs as if she has to inject herself with pride and confidence (sophie deveraux has quite the reputation). like alexandra is postulating, almost a marionette holding up its own strings in the face of a closed pair of scissors.

also, her clutch is also-ha-clutched in her hand the whole time, tight and stiff. + her still business-black symmetrical dress of an unforgiving yet flattering material & short, practical stilettos with the slightly widened base? itʻs almost exactly what we usually see on her - all black & not a single thing out of place- no jewelry sans earrings too, even for a social event. always business and never pleasure.

against sophie, who walks with a comfortable grace, her strides coming at a slightly more languid pace- sheʻs at ease here (arguably, she always is, at a party) and if sheʻs apprehensive at meeting with this woman-- well, you wouldnʻt catch sophie devereaux doing something like giving her true feelings away During A Con, now would you? (and then we donʻt really get her thoughts on alexandra this ep & i donʻt think we really do for the rest of the season...)

sophieʻs clutch, on the other hand, she waves hers around like an extension of herself, speaking with it and keeping it loose in her grip. (sophie is an actor, she uses the props she has on hand, always making it all seem intentional). + the soft material, muted green, asymmetrical dress sheʻs got on, with a fun and complimenting pale gold heels and clutch. we all know sophie is fashionable and loves dressing up (grifter/actress). sophieʻs business mixes with her pleasure.

thereʻs prob even more in the dialogue -- "you think iʻm scared of you" - "or youʻre jealous" sophie is almost flippant with it, as if she couldnʻt care less &

"i donʻt negotiate with amateurs" like theyʻre both used to the world theyʻre in, but sophie is quite a bit more comfortable where she is

ANYWAY though, obviously, since alexandra is a new character, iʻm making a lot more shot-in-the-twilight assumptions, and this dichotomy iʻm taking in could be the show leaning into the fact that sophieʻs been a character we know and love and alexandra is the complete opposite. idk their opposing walks just struck me an hour ago and spurred me to peer a lil closer

#+ body language is such A Thing to use when writing descriptions of a character to gain deeper understanding w/o being boringly blunt #i avoided talking abt their hair up there bc itʻs slight but- uptight bun always alexandra & loose hair always sophie #also maybe thinking about how when #alexandra is in the interrogation room with eliot she looks a lot more...smooth? more put together and relaxed (she goes through most of #those scenes with as graceful a casual-one-elbow-leaned-on-the-back-of-my-chair can get for a powerful woman restricted by image can get). #then when sheʻs with sophie she seems less so. she knows she doesnʻt have all the power with sophie devereaux. hell sheʻs only walked away #from eliot when leaving him w four guys to beat up + eliot doesnʻt much engage unless he knows the other wonʻt just walk away & she has him #tied to a chair (not that he couldnʻt get out of it but she was In Control then) when sheʻs so relaxed #leverage redemption #alexandra bligh #sophie devereaux #leverage #the bucket job #does this count as #leverage redemption meta

i think it's actually a good thing that babylon was only watched by ten people (i count for seven because that's how many times i've seen it) because there's endless discourse to be had and it would've been very annoying

#brad pitt being one of the leads obviously it's actually one of the reasons why i didn't plan on going to see it at first that and the fact #that it lasts three hours and also i wasn't interested. happened upon it anyway you know how the story goes i mean. i still paid for my #ticket but i only ended up going because my classes for that day were cancelled because of the strike that was going on then. yeah #three out of the four queer characters end up dead so that's bury your gays but two of the characters are only implied queer so i guess #that would make it better except it wouldn't because yk. not explicit. not enough lady fay zhu and sidney focus which true actually i think #just five more minutes of fay especially would've been great. there's a deleted scene where nellie finds out that manny separated them but #i kinda get why they deleted it. what else. oh yeah nellie manic pixie dream girl😭 also the fact that she dies and manny survives probably #counts as misogyny. but the white characters dying and the characters of color surviving makes it all okay would be the conclusion #there's other things it's a long movie #making up discourse yes but really these are just critiques if you think about it. some of them just happen to be dumb #and like i say: brf slt

the modders in my fc being evil to my bnuuy (and hien lmao)

long explanation in tags if curious

#ffxiv #final fantasy xiv #zenos galvus #bastard man lmao #okay so HOPEFULLY people know why putting zenos in hien's clothes is fucked up and evil lmao #YOU KILL MY FATHER YOU SUBJUGATE AND TORTURE MY PEOPLE YOU STRETCH OUT MY PANTS #but anyway the lore of my rabbit he had a similar attack on his tribe which resides nearby garlemald's mainland #howlen (bnuuy in question) literally watched zenos slaughter his brother and mentor in front of him #and then zenos took howlen prisoner to which for the next four years of his life he was constantly tortured indirectly and directly by him #granted in the lore zenos has several times saved howlen's life but only bc 'hey only im allowed to torment him' reasons #so at the end of these four years zenos lets howlen loose to 'go get stronger and impress me when you come back' #howlen gets his ass kicked in ala mhigo but rather than kill him zenos is like. nah i cant thats my rabbit he can try again. #(the hien being howlen's bf is in the lore they bond over fucking hating zenos lmao) #('man he sucks' 'you have no idea') #fast forward to endwalker. howlen finally thinks hes killed zenos. finally. fucking finally. #but his own voidsent was not strong enough to fully devour and conquer zenos' soul #so later when howlen is in doma helping rebuild and is asked to go get some furs hes like 'yeah okie i havent practiced with voidy in a bit #so he goes and summons his voidsent and man. this bitch looks different. his original voidsent was wolf like and now its uhhhh #a mix of shinryu and zenos and neither howlen nor zenos are happy about this arrangement #'YOU CANT EVEN KILL ME RIGHT????' 'I THOUGHT I DID LEAVE ME ALONE ITS HARD' #but anyway tldr #zenos is fully convinced howlen is His and its so fucked up and evil and funny that my fc does this to him #*me minding my business as howlen* are you porting shinryu again #'yeah'

Wanna kill kiryu and it wont be any sort of romance or poetry i just want him dead. Its a sex thing

#Yakuza loveblog #im killing him after every save .... just because i cant stand the way his skin looks i needed to be inside it #really dragging him outside and tying his arms and legs to four horses and then i tap his face gently and wake him up and then he sees me #and goes whuh .. huh ... and i scream as loud as i can and the horses all scatter and start pulling him apart and dismembering him and while #hes bleeding out because all his limbs got ripped off i straddle his chest and play a bongo beat on his cheeks #and he is losing blood and in so much pain he cant even scream and he knows hes going to die soon and he looks at me ... he cant ask why !!! #like yeaah i want to have sex with him i also want to see him being pulled apart like brisket #oooohhhhh i want to kill him so badly ... i wanna do it in a goofy loony tunes way but im the only one laughing because he looks so so silly #all trussed up and looking at me with eyes asking why why why and i dont care i pull the lever that drops a piano on him and all i can see #under the split wood and splinters is a single arm of his reaching out and a pool of blood starting to fan out over the wreckage #ask me why ... ask me the point .. you think i know ? im doing this because i have infinite resets little boy .. now climb into this freezer #im going to lock it shut and im not going to let you out ~

[certifiedwerewolf]

Not sure what show Watcher is going to roll out next but I'm crossing my fingers for either Weird/Wonderful or Too Many Spirits

#i'd love another season of weird wonderful but i also know that too many spirits is due soon #and i do enjoy too many spirits #plus i wanna see where steven's arc is going #also too many spirits only goes for four episodes at a time #so i wouldn't mind a quick season of too many spirits followed up by a season of weird wonderful #the point is i really want another season of weird wonderful #or tourist trapped but i'm pretty sure that one is dead #rip tourist trapped you would have been such a good show u_u

Okay, it was supposed to be my last question, but now you've piqued my interest. 😂 One more!

So the other three Heroes of Yore were sealed as well? Hmmm, that's gonna make for some delicious angst when the Dream Friends unseal Meta Knight and he not only doesn't remember them at all, but his loyalties completely lie with a different group now. :)

OH YEAH- i have a WHOLE thing about the ancient heroes. and. yeah.

its gonna be one chaotic attempt at a reunion

#kirby #aeon hero meta au #i have SO many thoughts about the ancient heroes you guys have no idea #technically they only managed to seal two of the four #Elfilis ran for it and ended up in the forgotten land #and we all know how THAT goes down
