#it's reeeeally bad

[dr3amofagame]

👀👀👀 would u care to share what extra conditions j!Q might add on to j!Sam's offer??

OKAY IM BACK and able to answer asks again (🥳)

In the regular JMAH timeline, as I've said before, j!Quackity responds to j!Sam's proposition by laughing in his face and then probably stabbing him a few times. Sorry, Sam, but Quackity has his hard-earned revenge right in front of him, no amount of begging is going to get him out of the mess that he's created. Fuck that noise. The visit ends with j!Sam kind of regretting the offer and j!Dream,, wondering, and feeling a little betrayed and a little stupid about feeling that way, aching from the idea of being sold so easily and yet--whatever. Doesn't matter now, does it?

In this scenario, though, maybe j!Sam frames his offer a little better, maybe j!Quackity is a little more aware of how little time he has, with Techno threatening to return to the prison, maybe he's weighed the risks and rewards and decided this is the better outcome. Still, Sam needs to know that Q is the one in charge. He walks past Sam to drag Dream up to his knees by his hair, pressing the sword to Dream's neck. Thanks, Sam, for giving him an idea.

Sam is going to give him the keycards, and then Quackity is going to be sooo kind as to let him free roam inside the prison. Make sure he has what he needs to strengthen security, make sure Technoblade can't force his way in. Sam is going to do exactly what Quackity says, be a good little mechanic (and probably a janitor as well) and, fine, he can have a little time to make sure Dream won't die when Quackity is finished with him.

Meanwhile, Q is going to be making sure Sam stays in line and doing what he needs to do to get the damn book. And, well, obviously. If Sam doesn't do what he wants, then he'll just kill them both.

#anyway uhmmm things go to shit after like a month #it's reeeeally bad #but yeah that's how you incorporate the quackity visits into a JMAH timeline #just me and him AU #time traveler sam AU #my asks !!

if you are an artist just trying out commissions for the first time as holidays come up, my advice to you to avoid burnout is have a clear ToS that states what you do and do not want to do.

not what you can and cannot do, but what you do and do not want to do. don't try to be the cheesecake factory of commission artists and take every single commission even if it doesn't suit your style or preferred subject matter. don't write a little disclaimer about how you aren't very good at backgrounds or vehicles but will do your best; that's how you get a client that for some reason wants a full brooklyn cityscape from you and suddenly you have spent five months stressed out and guiltily avoidant of other projects. just say you aren't offering backgrounds.

if you're not interested or confident in concept and design, be clear in your ToS that you need specific references for things like clothes and features. coming up with design ideas is a completely separate skill from rendering them; figure out with what you are comfortable before accepting the task. a lot of clients themselves don't understand that saying "do whatever" is basically tasking you to design for them, something for which you are well within your rights to charge accordingly.

pick your niche and hone it, and stretch your comfort zone with private work. you'll figure out as you go just how far your comfort zone stretches and can update what you offer accordingly.

#these on top of taking comms at a reeeeally bad point mentally #are mistakes i made #and mistakes everyone i know has made #i still feel Not Great about my last time opening and ultimately refunding a couple people #because i was trapped in the porta potty of my own brain #idk if i will ever open formally again it left me feeling so bad #but you!!! #you will not make this mistake

As soon as Yuu was released the first thing i did was to listen to her voice lines, not only because of who is voicing her (the Sailor Moon!!) but because i was very curious as to what sort of dimension her voice would add to her character.

And it's particularly interesting the way that her voice sells how... empty she is, like not only in that losing her memories destroyed her sense of self and her morality (like i had initially expected), but in that she doesn't seem to have a firm grasp of anything beyond the ideas of "Yuu", Shii, the list, Magical Girls and Witches. Like, it's like she doesn't even know what being a human even is.

That much is obvious just in the way she speaks, like she keeps switching back and forth between multiple voices and running over her own words, like she speaks out of muscle memory and can't control the sounds that her mouth makes. But also, some of the stuff she says is... concerning, here's a few lines:

(I got these from her F*ndom quotes page i didn't know where else to find them)

"We're together today too... is that the same as yesterday? Does that mean tomorrow's gonna be the same!? And two days ago too? I guess after tomorrow too... wait so even today too!?"

From her first login, notice how by the end of the sentence she forgot about whay she said at the start completely. Also it's hard to convey through written text but, not only her sense of object and spacial permanence is nonexistent, she seems to genuinely have a hard time undertanding the concept of time:

"Did you just say good morning? Oh that must mean it's morning nowiseewaitdid i... did i sleep? I'm bummed... no i'm not, aha! Morning!"

Her morning login.

"Did you just tell me good night...? 'Good night' is what you say when you're done for the day!? So if we keep repeating 'good night' forever, can we stop tomorrow from coming...?"

Her night login

A couple of her lines showing her extremely short memory, and how it affects her fundamental understanding of things:

"Man, i'm so hungry... WAIT! I think i was just full...! Which was it! Doesn't it really suck how you can never tell what's inside of your tummy?"

Noon login.

"Sorry! I...! What was i thinking about? Do you know? Can you tell me? What a bummer, what a bummer... Wait, what was i bummed about?"

Her standard login (honestly same).

"I gotta get goinghmm...? Where was i going again?"

Story end 3

"If your arms or your legs get really old, then why not just rip 'em off? It's gonna grow new ones so it's okay, here, lemme help you!"

Tap 4.

"Nagisa-chan loves cheese, meanwhile i have 'someone'... 'someone' is me! So don't forget about cheese and 'someone' even when tomorrow comes, alright?"

Magical release 1

"Y'see, ghosts only come from the past, they don't be coming from the future! So why... can i only go to tomorrow?"

Magical release 2

Also this one is just, man...

"No matter how many times time turns back, i'll keep doing the same thing! 'Cause i don't wanna pretend that all the times i messed up and all the times i was sad weren't real!"

Tap 8

It's also extremely unnerving how genuinely childlike and innocent her "main", higher pitched voice is, like i can't explain why but it really sells that she does what she does all because she genuinely doesn't know any other way to live, not least because it seems she wholeheartedly doesn't seem to be able to think beyond the current moment, like she just goes with the flow of time without having anything to ground herself on.

I think that, while having a fully fledged design added to her "inhuman" factor in a creepy manner, like, compounding to the idea of this beastly Magical Girl that rips people's organs off, her voice made her "inhuman" in a much crueler and sad way, in that it served to illustrate that she is the way she is because it's quite literally the only way of living that she knows.

#magia record #yuusa yumeno #i only skimmed her MGS but these got me thinking about her a lot #particularly as a memory bad individual myself #Also i haven't seen anyone mention this but her casual l2d reeeeally drives home the Kuchisake onna parallels #I genuinely didn't think she'd blink when i first saw it

my hot dunmeshi take is that not every character is autistic

.........bc there are other flavors of neurodivergency that fit some of them better ✌️

#chilchuck for example reeeeally gives me ADHD vibes more than autistic #especially the accidental rudeness from lack of filter and the difficulty resisting temptation #(ie immediately wanting to drink as soon as they found booze even when it was bad timing) #he also just reminds me of my ADHD dad at times lmao #Kabru as well gives me ADHD more than autism but I can sorta see the case for him being autistic #I also like the idea of OCD Kabru I think that would fit especially with his childhood trauma #and I've already said that I 1000% believe that Thistle is BPD #lyla's talking again #dungeon meshi

i respect anyone who didn't get into homestuck in its hayday and is giving it a shot now regardless because that requires some willpower + patience. But i'll always be a firm believer that homestuck is mostly only enjoyable to people who were there, witnessed everything firsthand, and know exactly what to expect

#you can learn it.... but you reeeeally shouldnt imo. #especially via shit like 'the slur patch' or let's read homestuck #like you can if you want to. but your experience will be fundamentally different from most hs fans and i think whitewashing hs is senseless #you either have to take all of the bad with the good or you're not really getting into Homestuck. you're getting into fanon hs. #and trust me that is WORSE in the long run

so i finally got to FS chapter 5 and to say i’m surprised is an understatement.

that’s just… not how i expected sephiroth to act at all. i figured glenn didn’t like sephiroth at first because he’d be cocky about being the leader/being stronger than them, and then they’d understand each other better and become friends.

but then - sephiroth is just quiet and sad when glenn calls him a cyborg. he doesn’t snap back at him, doesn’t get angry. his head just drops. and then i remembered that he’s, like, 14 years old here and i just felt worse.

it’s kind of obvious that sephiroth would be obedient like that - after all, that’s a guy that from birth knew he was stronger than everyone else; he could’ve just nibelheim’d his way out of shinra and hojo with ease whenever he wanted, but he didn’t. it just made me realize the level of mental abuse sephiroth went through on his formative years. he was taught to obey, to serve; he was probably discouraged from developing any personality trait, to having any voice or choice. it’s just painful to know that when sephiroth found himself, it went the worst possible way it could’ve gone.

#sephiroth #ff7 ever crisis #ffvii ever crisis #ff7 ec #ffvii ec #and idk how long it’ll take me to finish this chapter lmao this game is kind of insufferable #i don’t think it’s a bad game tbh but the grind can be reeeeally annoying #it took AGES to get to ch 5 #also it made me wish this was a full fledged console game #but maybe seeing miniroth in full animation and voice acting would kill me #JUST LET THIS BOY BE HAPPY GODDAMNITTTTT

How Ortega the most elegible bachelorette/bachelor in Los Diablos chooses sidestep repeatedly over actual people with their life together is always such a ‘wtf’ moment for me

#I’m like???? #thinking of what little shits most sidestep’s are #also thinking of oro and I’m like ???? she’s a feral little creature #u sure u want that one Julia 🙂 u reeeeally sure??? #there’s the one little confession in the apartment where Julia is like #I didn’t want the media blaming my bad manners on being in gay love with u 😔 #HAVE U SAT WITH ORELLUA FOR 5 MINUTES I CSN GARANTEE THATS NOT WHAT THE PUBLIC WOULD BE THINKING #YOUR BAD MANNERS? Julia bby ur fine

Sitting down to floss and brush my teeth has been lifechanging. On a completely unrelated note how the fuck am I supposed to have this skeleton for several more decades. It’s all over for me lads 😔

#knees hurt. hips hurt. back hurts. wrists hurt. swag #it’s not this bad most of the time but by the end of the day it’s like auuuugh #it really is too bad that I’ve got extreme doctor fears because of the IssuesTM! #and oh yeah I don’t have health insurance LOL… #which I am using as a convenient excuse to avoid going to the doctors LOL #i have some doctor ~traumas~ I think LOL! #im working up to it. it’s glacial. sometime this year maybe? #I went twice as an adult and both times were for health forms for college enrollment #I’ve been to the ER and an urgent care once or twice though so clearly I’m FINE… #this is BAD do not be like me #but it’s only become clear to me in the past year or two that the incidents in my childhood reeeeally affected me #and to have US healthcare be such a profoundly difficult and punitive process basically means I am just never going to like jump through #those hoops only to be confronted with a severe phobia lol #im not saying that’s a reasonable train of thought but it’s more that that’s my subconscious reasoning #but it is a 2024 goal to get seen by a doctor #but the other thing is that it’s so fucking clear to me that they will do NOTHING for either PMDD or my joint pain which are my chief #complaints at the moment #but like i should probably be like getting routine panels and Pap smears :-( #everything’s SO EXPENSIVE… #They’ll be like give me your blood. ok all normal everything is healthy. ok that’ll be literally $200 #:-( #ugh I’m upsetting myself just thinking about doctors. ok Goodnight #(with full intention to keep scrolling)

I'm busy so have a really short ficlet for today's prompt - Hidden Injury, with BBH and Baghera, 'true' drabble (AKA exactly 100 words).

TW for blood, serious character illness/injury.

Bad coughs into his hand, blood leaking between his fingers as he does. He hunches over, muscles straining as the tainted blood is hacked up from his lungs. Blood pours through his shaking fingers, and maybe a more accurate term would be vomiting blood, if not for his aching lungs.

He gets himself under control just in time to see Baghera approach. She looks him up and down, and asks "Bad? Are you okay?"

"Of course! How are you Baghera? I haven't seen you in ages!"

He smiles away her concern and Dapper's side eye, and continues on his day.

the image of various scenes with TR crossdressing with the caption “team rocket, destroying gender roles since 1997” has done so much damage to pokemon community and even more damage to the people who haven’t watched anipoke in years and hail them the best queer rep ever from vague memories from their childhood alone

FOR REAL TBH like truly just ignoring that all of those scenes are intended to mock them.

ik its not a big deal its just a pole that i wasnt even following, but something that annoyed me specifically with the one poll was when jessie was against lillie and everyone was like "OMG VOTE JESSIE BC ITS PRIDE MONTH SO YOU HAVE TO OR YOU HATE THE GAYS!!!!!" when like... im sorry lillie has more genuine lgbt hinting than jessie does sldjfslkdfjslkd.

like sure its not the biggest thing ever but one of these characters was pouring their heart out to a girl in the rain about how important she is to her and how much she depends on her while a rainbow comes out, has an arc about breaking out of the strict roles her mother forced her into, and literally gets an RGU reference in the anime and a deeply devoted "best friend", and its not jessie. sure none of that is exactly explicit groundbreaking stuff and i personally wouldnt say youre meant to see lillie as bi, but its more than what jessie's got

#tbh tho ive been watching the earlier pokemon movies in my server and while their role is minimal obviously #i do think i havent been giving enough credit to gens 1-3 TR and kinda gen 4 TR #bc they are genuinely really funny in those first few seasons #i think im just lost in bw/xy/jn hell where they were just EXTREMELY tedious and unfunny #i think part of it is that they stop caring about their little quirks and backstories come gen 5 #and never remembered it again outside of sm #(and even then james's backstory ik is sorta played for laughs? halfway? kinda? #like his abuse is sorta framed as ''HA HA hes getting beaten up by a WOMAN'') #but like james's collection is barely brought up during that era #i also have some issues with how they are in dp bc theyve got both good and bad episodes there. leaning towards bad #and im reeeeally not a fan of how they characterize jessie in comparison to the guys #but idk. genuine thing does anything actually really post abt post dp TR #besides obviously the super dedicated fans and SM (which they are good in ill completely admit to that) #theres like.... two scenes of JN going around and one of them is a bit thats unrelated to them and couldve gone to someone else #mail #d0vegum #btw LOVE the yellowfang setup. lesbian yellowfang real

tomoya's cards are quite hit or miss in !! era but i think sanctuary is still his best bloomed there (best unbloomed is parallel world no contest)

#i think his initial 5* is one of the best too #both bloomed and unbloomed are really good i love the balloons #parallel world bloomed isnt bad but he has better ones + better outfits as well #shuffle card is rly good also #but his ! era 5*s are just really really good you guys seen transparency and masks? that one is crazy #by far the coolest unbloomed in game #and the bloomed is just as good #his winter santa card is also 10/10 #my fav christmas bloomed and im the tori himemiya guy #and the unbloomed is so cute you guys should read the story #actually im now realizing both tori and tomoya are (i think) the only ones to have 2 christmas 5*/a christmas 5* in both games #just had to stop and think ''was rei in any christmas event in ! era'' boy he sure was #what was i talking about. #right tomoya #his conan card is also amazing i reeeeally want him on eng #i hope his fs2 is super good also #oh my god i almost forgot about that. #yeah i really want him to have a great fs2 pleaseee #i wonder what kind of unbloomed he'll have #sora already had bunnies #it would be nice if he had a theater kind of bloomed too.......... please................. to go with his solo.......................... #i miss tomoya prince cards they should do more of those again #<-hajime pfp behavior #i think im running out of tags to add so my final message is i love you tomoya #mar's midnight rambles

I am neither a coffee theory hater nor supporter. The number of times that specific coffee was shown in the intro does tell me that its not nothing. BUT!! I think it can have some truth and still be a moment of true disconnect between them!! I don't think that coffee theory even holds any weight if they weren't both already flawed!! Because if they had spent any damn time communicating instead of hiding shit from each other then Crowley would have known something was wrong, would have gone with him, or believed that Aziraphale genuinely wanted to make Heaven worthy of him.

If Aziraphale hadn't spent centuries hurting Crowley and making him feel like he was lesser then Crowley wouldn't have been so hurt by it.

I'm not saying that this makes coffee theory true, in fact I don't personally believe in coffee theory as an overt "Aziraphale was drugged and had no control" thing - I suspect if it is true that its far more subtle than that, something that drove a wedge between them rather than something that just mind controlled him (I mean, if that were true, wouldn't Aziraphale leaving have been overtly crueler? Perhaps even just leaving without a word? No, its far more painful if the persuasion is subtle, if Aziraphale isn't controlled, but nudged in the "right" direction).

I'm not entirely sure where I'm going with this, but as someone firmly in neither camp, I just want to say that coffee theory doesn't negate Aziraphale and Crowleys autonomy or choice in that finale. It isn't a magic "no one did anything wrong" plotline that makes the characters 2D. If anything it draws intentionally on their flaws to pull them slowly apart.

Because what is better for Heaven and Hell than to separate the love that saved the world last time?

This isn't just about drawing Aziraphale in, its about tearing Aziraphale and Crowley apart at the seams, and coffee or not, Heaven knew exactly how to do it without making either of them suspect a thing.

#good omens #gomens #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #coffee theory #good omens meta #good omens theory #i honestly also think that ppl who are FERVENTLY anti coffee theory just want a reason to hate aziraphale #like thinking that the sudden emotional whiplash is suspicious doesnt make u stupid #or ignoring characters flaws #bc none of this couldve happened if they weremt both flawed #coffee or otherwise it IS their mutual lack of communication that drove them apart #but ppl who are so desperately against the idea that theres more to it than JUST miscommunication #strike me as reeeeally disliking when people suggest that aziraphale isnt The Bad Guy #i could be wrong ofc #maybe they just rlly like the mutual miscommunication trope which is totally chill lol #but i know fandoms tend to pit these characters against each other in some moral purity war #to determine who is Right and who is Wrong #when the entire point of this show in particular is that its ALWAYS more complex than that #neither is right or wrong exclusively #theyve hurt each other a lot. that doesn't end just because of the possibility that the coffee is sus #but idk man #d speaks #mine #sorry for the rant #i saw a post abt beingso anti coffee theory #and it kind of annoyed me bc like theories are just fun #u dont have to like all of them #but acting like u have the moral high ground just because u dislike a common theory doesnt actually make u cool #or smarter than other fans
