#it’s called being human look it up

[crippled-peeper]

My scarred body is not explicit. My scars are not dangerous to children. My scars don’t make me scary and they don’t tell you anything about the type of person I am. My scarred body is allowed to exist in public. I’m allowed to be shirtless in the pool and at the beach and I owe nobody an apology or an explanation for that

no it's fine this mind flayer is totally my friend and 100% honest with me all the time it's ok it likes me everything's so normal

#bg3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 #baldur's gate 3 #i love how raphael directly calls you out on this. 'if id have known you were so gullible i wouldve tricked you into selling your soul for #a bowl of beans when we first met' #and then just keeps insulting you more if you keep insisting emp's really your ally #oc: impulse #sure this'll go in their tag #everything about impulse's Thing with the emperor is so funny to me. and then deeply fucked up if you think about it long enough. and then #really funny again if you think about it even longer #one day i'll do their 2.0 playthrough so i can fully form all my thoughts. and get better screenshots and the ceremorphosis ending #i mean there's nothing stopping me from loading an impulse 1.0 save and going ceremorphosis from there but idk it'd feel wrong #impulse has more tadpoles in their brain than synapses by act 3 and it does really fundamentally change them as a person #tfw your chaotic neutral act-first-ask-questions-never no-impulse-control 17 CHA bestie becomes one of the most detached calculating people #you've ever met. all their old casual wit and humor is still there but they think before they speak now and that really shouldnt feel as #sinister as it does. they have this look in their eye and it feels like they view everyone around them as lesser beings #not because they view other people as subhuman or worse than they are but because they view themself as something *more* #if they have any raw unfiltered emotion left you haven't seen it in weeks. there's one person(?) who gets Unrestrained Feelings privileges #and it's the fucking illithid that lives in their mind and not any of their actual non-monster normal-ish-person friends. that human #connection is fading so fast now. when did they change so much? it happened so slowly in the moment but suddenly now they seem like they #were never the person you became friends with at all #and like impulse is a pretty selfish person from the start but they *did* genuinely like and care about the rest of the party. they were #friends. and by the end of act 3 that friendship should be the deepest and most meaningful it's ever been. but. it just isn't. #so on and so forth etc etc like that. All That Bullshit makes their relationship with lae'zel so interesting (and upsetting) too #they encourage her to side against vlaakith and then they never even try to free orpheus for her and her people's sake. they never even #think about it. they never consider it as an option. they just don't care. and then they EAT HIS BRAIN. #very possibly RIGHT IN FRONT OF HER. #and she's just left adrift. a rebel with no rebellion to lead and very little hope #i'm unwell. #ok i'm done this is a silly meme post. but god i have so many thoughts i have barely been keeping contained

everyone’s always like aw man sorry that you brought your friend back to life and she came back wrong and twelve’s like >:| bc clara’s exactly the same as she always was

#doctor who #the doctor #twelve #clara oswald #tho i do think it'd be super cool if she did in fact Come Back Wrong #like beyond the obvious fucked up mental trauma n shit #imagine like. like being so Wrong that even normal humans call tell #like if you look at her too long you might start to notice that her chest isn't rising and falling. that she doesn't blink #her pupils don't react to light #when she smiles her mouth is just a little too wide. teeth just a little too sharp #there is a reason the time lords didn't just do this with all their dead and it didn't have anything to do with the harm it caused to time #but because in doing this you create something. something Not Right. something Not Meant To Be Seen #(the worst part of course is that it is still very much that person. they're very much still themselves #very much aware of how Wrong They Are) #not to eldritch post on a shitpost again 😔

I am aware that a get in loser, we are going… to fall in love? update won’t actually fix me, but i think we should try it anyways.

#mmmmm that fic truly is THE it girl of the fics #like??? Regina George and cady heron calling each other baby for like 70k and cuddling and being all over each other #and wholesome family dynamics #I love wholesome family dynamics #also Regina struggling with her sexuality as a young little lesbian?? relatable #but also genuinely learning how to care for another human being for the first time after puberty😂 #cady being head over heels in love for Regina George? super relatable as well #like it’s my favorite cadina fanfic cause i think it sort of is the healthiest at the moment #cause they fuck up a lot cause they sort of took each other by surprise and they definitely were not looking for a relationship at all #but they actually end up being so loving towards the other #Regina is closeted though and I am wondering how they’re gonna fair considering where they currently are in the story #idk #it’s truly great and it’s helping with my anxiety tbh I love it #cadina #mean girls #fanfiction #regina george #cady heron

boycott fatigue is actually the stupidest fucking thing ever because how in the ever loving fuck are you experiencing “fatigue” from not going to Starbucks. how is not watching rushed cgi on disney+ and not eating a breaded slime nugget at McDonald’s “fatiguing” you. genuinely how fucking dare this even exist as a concept. entire bloodlines, children, newborns are dying slow and bloody and all of these companies are giving Israel the money to do that. they’re using YOUR fucking money to do this. and look, practically every war has been funded out of our pockets by a means we can’t fight around. almost all of the food and drink we have in the states is owned by some large corporation that makes it fucking impossible to not give them money because they are the sole providers. I understand there are some things we can’t boycott because of our own needs. but this isn’t basic needs that we are being asked to boycott. it’s fucking Disney+ and McDonald’s and Starbucks and a whole slew of luxuries that you’re not only capable of living without, but would actually be better off entirely without.

there’s been a lot of talk about how privileged we are to only be witnessing this human rights atrocity through phones or news and being able to get away from it with a button click and that’s entirely real, but the fact that somebody out here just felt soooo inconvenienced by not going to a drive thru for overpriced garbage that they literally coined the phrase “boycott fatigue,” is probably the biggest load of privileged dog shit I’ve seen in the past few days. do you want to know who’s actually experiencing fatigue right now? the millions of displaced families in Gaza without homes anymore. without any clean water to drink because it’s either been poisoned by the Israelis or contaminated with their peoples’ blood. the children without enough food to get by, or without any food at all. the injured and sick and disabled Palestinians who don’t have access to any medical aid for themselves because their hospitals and fuel trucks are being bombed. these people who have absolutely nothing but each other, and not even that in the worst circumstances, who can only keep walking for days on end, hungry and thirsty and in pain and unable to do anything about it. that is real fucking fatigue.

I understand we’re all seeing war crimes and death and atrocities that nobody should ever have to see and yes it’s difficult to process, but the people of Palestine are experiencing these atrocities in real time, every day, every hour. every ten fucking minutes a child dies. They aren’t even asking for help anymore. They’re only asking to be witnessed and remembered and for us to stop going to places that actively fund their deaths and you’re saying you just can’t because you’re exhausted by not going to that place? I know we’re all born and raised in a consumerist hellscape but you seriously need to get a fucking reality check if offering the bare minimum support to a dying people is ‘fatiguing’ to you. Jesus fucking Christ.

#cal.txt #Gaza #Palestine #free Palestine #free Gaza #bds boycott #boycott fatigue #sorry this is out of nowhere I’m just so fucking fed up with everything right now #look at what is being done to them and realize that you’re lining Israeli pockets to make that happen every time you get ur fucking starbies #look at the bloodied children and infants without legs and bodies in plastic bags #then look at yourself and ask yourself if your fucking pink drink is worth what’s being done to them #you do not get to be fatigued. #and I’m saying this as someone who is actively experiencing autistic burnout. you do not get to be fatigued. #I am so sick and fucking tired of this country and the cattle that call themselves people while offering zero humanity to others.

How much of the self is present in the ancestor?

#i was feeling really bad and dysphoric so i picked up the crayons. as you do #and this evolved out of it and it got me thinking about a “return to animal” type sentiment #like i was watching videos of apes last night and thinking how different it must be to simply exist in your body #without hiding it in clothes and gender conformity and such #and then i was thinking about the idea of “returning” to a state of being you haven't even existed in #couldn't exist in. because you are a product of what came before you etc #(and ofc apes are almost as different from the common ancestor as we are so it wouldn't be returning to ape but like yknow #the abstract idea of the beings we were before we were humans.) #and like why do we call it returning if we ourselves were never there? how much of ourselves actually exists in the past? #why is it that we feel enough kinship to the past that we say “return” when we think about existing there? #anyway. rhetorical questions mostly. this drawing isn't exactly about that train of thought #but i felt i needed to put it somewhere. and this is where i thought of it and i like the way the caption looks #this drawing is sort of about the feverish desire to rid myself of physical discomfort #griffffdraws

what piercings does Danny have in your CFAU?

Danny’s got double lobe piercings on both ears, and then helixes, and an orbital on one side! Then he’s got an eyebrow piercing on the right side of his face. I don’t have any particular reason for why he’s got piercings as an adult, I just thought it’d be a fun way to indicate a physical change from when he was 14 and last saw the Waynes, to the next time they see him. Although with this version of Danny (rather than my original, unserious beta version of CFAU), it probably would follow that he'd potentially get piercings when he was older. (So not a total shock)

#dpxdc #dp x dc #cfau #childhood friends au #cfau danny #piercings #danny did his lobe piercings at home but the upper parts were done by a professional in the ghost zone #his ghostly healing means he couldnt go to a human piercer it’d heal in an instant #i’ve considered giving him snakebites. or a tongue piercing #guys with piercings >>> #playing dress up with your characters is the best part of making an au! #its also lowkey a relic to what my original childhood friends au was like in my head when it was still more of a 'daydream au' #which was more cracky and unserious. it leaned more into danny being more like his pre-canon self ie: meekish and shy when he was in gotham #so him having piercings/being more confident/cursing/etc the next time they saw him would come off as more of a drastic change considering #the last time they saw him (when jason was alive) he was a skittish and quiet kid. bookish. him turning out all goth-rock and punkish and #willing to throw hands with anyone he sees. would have been a big “huh??” moment for jason and co #hey wouldn't it be fun if jason had a childhood friend who moved away when he was a kid and returned to kill #the joker after he died? and that friend looked almost unrecognizable from his memories? #'daydream aus' are what i call aus that aren't all that serious and stem from listening to music and daydreaming. they're largely silly #unserious. and more “hah wouldnt this scene/idea be fun” and would've been harder to write down as a longform au. cfau stemmed from me #listening to music and going and then it spiraled from there.

Absolutely losing my mind trying to find a fanfic I wasn't able to bookmark or like when the app fucking refreshed on me

#it was alastor x reader #human alastor #in 1929 #the depression was starting and the reader is looking for a job after being fired by Vox #alastor hires her as an assistant #while vox is printing slander about him in the papers #calling him a murder and shit #which like #is true but rude #also nifty is there as an orphan he picked up by happenstance #its only two chapters right now #if anyone knows what fic im talking about ill give you my first born lol

rare belcher ear sightings

#it might look like tina is just grabbing louise's hat but louise very specifically says “ow my ear!!!” so I think tina did actually #start pulling on her ear and it just looks Like That bcuz it was s1 animation and they had no concept of anatomy #tbf I think it would be hard to animate louise's ear being visible without her not wearing her ears in some capacity #which is to be avoided #bob and linda look so fucked up with visible ears. put that THANG away!!!!!!!! #bob's burgers #txt #EDIT just realized how confusing “her ear being visible while not wearing her ears” at the same time sounds. thats just what she calls em #her bunny ears #but yeah her human ears vs her hat. we've never seen her human ears obviously

Were there a couple minutes before Rowen died where David was just panicking, or did he die immediately? This is very important to me for no reason other than “how traumatized was David by this particular incident”

You know, I hadn't really considered it before as anything other than an instant kill movie. Even if Red did survive being stabbed the adrenalin would have been high enough that David just kept on bludgeoning him, its not until after he's dead that David like 'shit, I didn't want that actually'. It would have just been a more drawn out and gruesome death.

#two of us AU #two of us!David #two of us!Red #this ask made me think about an AU where Red survived being stabbed but I couldn't think of anything particularly interesting for it #Either Red escapes and calls the police which is basically just the ending but sooner #everyone goes free but without all that undead angst that I love :( #or David just like forcibly holds him hostage but just as a normal human guy instead of a fabric monster #same problem its just a slightly less angsty version of what I already have #That being said I did make some doodles of what surivor Red would have looked like which was basically just Red but without an eye #and by that I mean in his panic David used magic to just seal his eye like eye hole just straight up gone

one thing about me w/ creative freedom is that in all of my Personal Lore i will make dragons so People. they are a People. yeah yeah animalistic dragons dragons that are beasts we've all seen it. what about the very intelligent dragons. dragons with their own cultures and societies and languages. dragons who belong to a higher form of existence too. what about them

My lore? nahhhhhh fuck that they are People <3 #like i have an offshoot that is basically 'animal dragons EXCEPT! theyre not actually dragons at all <3 humans just call em dragons- #-cause its the closest word they have for what the big rideable winged critters look like' #ough sorry headworld posting on main. kinda. vaguely #vague headworld posting.... #balancing the various facets of Dragon is so so fun #my headworld docs are full to bursting and i aint done yet babeyyyyyy #absolutely unprompted #as an apology for this i will be posting some misc. laughingstock in a bit #BUT this is still this tags and i have a reputation for rambling #anyway i just. im feeling indulgent affection for my dragons tonight. their lore. their history. how it ties into others' #theyre out there making music and art and Mistakes #dragons: we'll do better than the humans. we will be better. we Are better. #narrator: they are not. in fact. better. #dragons and humans being more similar than either would ever admit. except for a select few <3 #and then My Boy coming in clutch and irreversibly tying the two together #ough. thoughts thoughts Thoughts #i need to come up with more casual lore. games and common phrases and stories and how their learning system works #veran dragons my beloved <3<3<3<3<3 #ah i love posting about things that only make sense to Me

Actually highkey bummed that I had to stop donating plasma after that last time. Yes bc it made me feel like I was contributing to the world but also because I was getting paid to lay there and read South Park fanfiction. Now on my days off I just lay in bed reading fanfiction instead, not getting juiced or paid lmao

#literally my leisure time is spent reading fanfics writing fanfics or thinking about fanfics #because i have problems #south park #PCE plasma donation adventures #on deferral for 56 days because I’m a repeat offender with passing out and they almost called the paramedics last time #look man I’m tryna gain some weight so I can donate again but shits hard #my husband has never liked that I wanna go do that and after the last incident he was like ok you’re done for a while pls don’t do that #my flesh prison is no longer up for being a human juice box

memory, death and life as komerex zha, the perpetual game; klingon culture as depicted in the final reflection, by john m. ford

#star trek #web weaving #klingons #im normal about this. i swear. #please read the final reflection. 99 cents on kindle right now. i read it in one sitting very fun very entertaining very insightful #and spocks in it. if you even care #is that last quote not soo sarek coded. 'im gonna destroy you in this game son. every time until you learn not to lose so badly #but you will still lose. <3' #house gensa forever house rustazh foreverrr #klingonaase my darling i love you you're sooo latin coded #i really liked the singing and the idea of like gestures vaguely house gensa being three hundred kids with no formal houses or lines #to belong to. <- and so you will all be together. yayy new family! #i also liked the acknowledgment of like. other cultures existing on klinzhai (qo'nos) vulcans and orions living with klingons and such #this book really had it all im not done posting. theres more songs and looks at their food; daily life; clothing and how they decorate #houses. more examples of klingonaase lol of course cuss words and such. they also talk about battle language which if i'm not mistaken is #like clipped tlhIngan? #but they call it battle language and translate it for the reader. fun! #and of course the klingons end up on earth so theres insights on how they feel about coffee and human food. apparently the air on earth is #very thin and dry to them; every scene where they talk about klingon comfort standards they mention making it dark and humid and hot. #red lights and such! for inside #and they say the thin air on earth makes it hard to hear for klingons! i thought that was very cool #nobody: #me: they like salt water baths and dark ale and they wear silk and they eat pastries with butter. if you even care. #they mention human chair designs being uncomfortable for klingon anatomy too; there was a description i remember of house khemara #having cushions on the ground around a fireplace instead of chairs #its such a pretty description too; they have high ceilings and wooden beams along the roof and and sky lights for an indoor garden #iron railings for the staircases. mwah i love this book i really recommend it #theres something (gestures) here that reminds me very strongly of worf but i cant put my finger on it to be honest with you. not even like #the komerex zha specifically either like the vibes of the whole book.....

Might make a DC transformers Au if I feel up to it idk

#dc #dcu #batman #transformers crossover #dc crossover #look i really want to make transformers batclan #the wayne couple found an alien child kent-style in their backyard and did not care he was made of metal and wires #Uses hollomatter/a holloform to mimic a human as Brucie Wayne #Like he is definitely not a big cybertronian at all #more designed for spying/information gathering/ subterfuge/ etc #BUT CAN I JUST SAY Cass would have transformers prime soundwave vibes #like design wise and all that #Clark and Bruce can develop a friendship over being alien buddies #It'd be hilarious if Bruce could eat kryptonite/convert it to energon #i grew up on the craziness from the original animated series and there is so much stuff to use #remind me ramble later #story idea #no clue what the au would be called

not my previous opinion on firefly coming to bite me in the ass JAHDJSHJD

#honestly her design is iconic #i think its the least fanservicey design hsr made so far #barring the child/younger teen characters' design obviously #firefly's design is still very gender and cute while being practical #also ofc Sam. is Sam. we love u sam. sam firefly. IHwdsjssjeheueb explodes #(for context i was previously unhappy with the fact that firefly and sam is one and the same) #(because i wanted a playable robot/mecha) #but kamen rider magical girl firefly who pilots / transform into huge metal warrior sam is so fun which i love #and the fact that firefly is canonically like . an biologically manipulated or engineered human #and is very much . older than a lot of our cast #first stellaron hunter (super cool) #the way her name signifies how her life is like #chefs kiss design #winx club looking ass splash art name title . thats a compliment btw #im very much looking forward to looking at her beautiful eyes up close . and also running around as a tall metal guy with fairy wings ahaha #kamen rider moment truly.... #also ppl saying its a clara svarog situation isnt getting it #clara and svarog are seperate characters just one in the gameplay #as svarog is claras robo dad/protector and just fights for her #honestly shouldve been clara & svarog like how topaz & numby are called that #but firefly is firefly. SAM is SAM. theyre one and the same #SAM is her alternate identity as a weapon and firefly is her true self #MAN.... #i think writing wise fireflys ''death'' was still not as hard hitting as possible #it was mostly shocking #which isnt bad writing #i still got attached to her #but when it was sad for trailblazer it just felt like a WTF WHAT. HUH moment for me #which kinda has like a disconnect #anyway im rambling too much

[musical-chick-13]

Regarding the previous post, I think the way I approach trying to evaluate a piece of art is asking "Do I think the positive things I get out of it outweigh the parts of it that I don't like?" And when I call something a "guilty pleasure" song/show/book/piece of media/etc. it's really more in the sense of, "Given who I am as a person, the flaws I've found in this should be complete dealbreakers for me, but somehow they aren't, and it makes me feel like I'm having an identity crisis."

#like. I think something like...idk shiki or cxgf excels on multiple levels. I understand why I like them. given the things I look for in art #it makes sense that these shows would speak to me because they make the effort to showcase those things I look for. because the people #in charge of those works clearly valued the same kinds of things and cared about seriously exploring them. #but with something like. uh. ctrlz. that is NOT the case and I frequently found myself going 'why would anyone make this writing #decision?' but I still sat through all 3 seasons of it! I still really enjoyed it! those flaws SHOULD have made me give up according to #personal history but they never did. and I very very much genuinely question why. I have NO IDEA why I still care about this #silly convoluted teen drama show so much. but I do. I wrote SO MANY FUCKING POSTS ABOUT IT. #I really love wicked the musical. I've heard many people call it 'hokey' or 'cheesy' or 'objectively bad' but here's the thing! I DON'T #think it's bad!!! like literally at all!!!!!! and it does do some genuinely cool things in regard to the music and the way the characters #develop and what the show says about the nature of prejudice and human connection. is it like. idk Serious™ the way that something like #Parade is? no. but it doesn't have to be. it does what it sets out to do and it does it well and this is why the whole '''objective #evaluation''' thing doesn't actually mean anything. I value thoughtfully-constructed music and dynamic female characters #(which this musical has). I value stories that deal with the complex and messy feelings that come with being a human (which this musical #has). I value stories about 'other'ness and romantic subplots that aren't just built on 'This Girl Is Pretty' (which this musical has). #and I value professional displays of technical vocal ability because I know how fucking DIFFICULT that is (which this musical...if you cast #it well...has). #if you value something else in a musical then yeah you will probably think THIS one is '''objectively bad''' #if you don't see the point of musicals as an art form you will probably think wicked is '''objectively bad''' #do you see where the problem with categorizing analysis like this is??
