#its been a long time hasn't it

“My older brother Joseph, or ‘The Father’ as he's lovingly referred to, has recently told my siblings and I you were meant to join our family,” John informed, stepping closer. “A wayward soul looking for a place in the world. Something we could provide for you.”

Ramona knitted her brow. “And again I beg the question, what makes you think that?” she asks; increasingly getting more annoyed.

“Impatient, aren't we?” he commented teasingly. “I saw you were a young woman traveling alone, willing to practically jump into the arms of anyone who looked your way. No matter how unsavory their true intentions were.” John's tone darkens at the last part.

New art to go along with a bit of a wip of chapter 4 of you know what as an apology for not posting much. This is just a redraw of this screenshot that just capsulates Ramona’s mood at the moment.

With the Chuggaconroy situation I suggest everyone unfollow/unsubscribe from him bc if the Lady Emily allegations weren't enough evidence against him, people who were previously long time friends with him also no longer wish to be associated with him, for his constant boundary pushing and not following through with past apologies. I hope Chugga seeks help, not just for himself but for everyone else around him, past, present and future.

#Its so disappointing as a long time fan but a sex pest is a sex pest no matter what #I don't want to mention her name for privacy sake but she just posted her statement and why she hasn't been friends #with chugga for years and any semi recent cameos were not posted with consent #its such a fuckin shame man. I really really hope he follows through with his apolothis time but I won't count on it #at least until there's tangible proof he's actually improving himself. but I doubt that considering he's flaked on his apologies before #chuggaaconroy

"thomas got no character development" maybe. or maybe the moral of his story is that it's irresponsible and unhealthy to attempt to completely deprive yourself of your feelings and much more productive to accept them as part of yourself and move on with your life from there. trying to go cold turkey on alison and then randomly picking another person to have a crush on only for it not to work is something we've seen thomas do before, which for some reason people decide to see as boring repetition rather than consistent characterization. but after that. did you miss the part where he stopped talking when she walked away, realized along with everyone else when fanny said "we're as bad as betty" and voted to go through with the proposal for alison to leave? did you miss the part where he happily waved her and her living family goodbye? did you miss the part where alison, old and gray, came back and mirthfully said "thomas, you flatter me" like. his passion for people and obsession with the idea of love wasn't gonna just go away. but he's learning to treat her with more respect, he didn't throw a tantrum or follow her around or go drown himself in the lake. just because he's not a completely different character doesn't mean there wasn't growth. watch season 1 episode 2 thomas say "divorce him, kill yourself, marry me" and then watch the christmas special again and tell me there was no development. come on now.

#like his 'its you that i love' was completely neutral. he's not making demands he's not badmouthing mike #he knows she is happy with mike and mia and will never feel the same way he does #that doesnt make him love her any less #can you not imagine having an unreciprocated crush? #his infatuation with her has gotten WAYYY less intense and way less overbearing #he's learning to live with his feelings and love her platonically as well #just because he still feels things very passionately doesnt mean he hasn't grown #anyway his short-lived intense fixations on people is like. a trademark of his character. #did you not watch the thomas thorne affair #anyway whatever #i think people need to take a step back and think about time scale before they complain about lack of growth #thomas has been dead for 300 years. #he's not gonna become an entirely different person in 5. #like 5 years SOUNDS like a long time to us. living people. #but you have to remember that it is a FRACTION of their time #bbc ghosts #ghosts spoilers

fairuz makes you homesick for lebanon even if you've never been there

#i probably feel this way because #my whole life my parents have been playing fairuz out loud all day long and reminiscing about lebanon while listening #and i'm the only one out of the four of us who hasn't been there so i feel oddly hollow when they share these memories #they were there during israeli bombardment so it wasn't at its best and yet they loved the country so dearly #mom still weeps whenever anything bad happens in lebanon which is... frequently! and says she hates to see it like this #i've inherited their love for lebanon it seems #in better times i want to visit lebanon i want to visit syria i want to visit palestine #and they'll all be at peace and safe and sound

Does anybody else feel like mental health awareness has done very little to help them in material reality

#i was gonna say done nothing to help but that seemed too harsh #like there definitely is more knowledge about it now. maybe more people feel comfortable speaking about it which is good #but personally i don't feel that. like idk. workplaces will post about mental health awareness and then do nothing to help employees #the same w universities. my uni cut back the already meager mental health support #and then the government is doing absolutely fuck all as well #like idk im just back in a place i thought id gotten out of long ago and i still don't feel comfortable talking about it with people #maybe that's a me problem or maybe it's cultural or something idk. but in the 10 years ive been depressed (🫠) i don't think it's gotten a #whole lot better. teenagers are still dealing with the same shit i did and they're still not being taken seriously #women's mental health is not even spoken about.....anxiety depression sh eds etc are still ignored or seen as hysterical behaviour in women #or just normal esp with disordered eating. society hasn't changed people still want women to be stick thin and weak #like i know 10 years is a short time and there has been massive improvements in mh awareness if we look back over the past 50+ years #but idk i just think that it hasn't gotten better for a lot of people #i think specifically of belfast and like god. the amount of trauma there is the amount of homelessness the amount of substance abuse #drug abuse in particular that has gotten visibly worse over the past decade or so* #and i connect the dots n see the 2008 recession + a tory gov defunding the nhs + dehumanisation of homeless people & addicts + the troubles #+ ptsd + generational trauma + a negative peace + classism + paramilitary drug dealers + parties linked to those paramilitaries #and its like hmmmm i think we live in a society. and a mental health approach based on individual actions like journaling and meditation #isn't the way to go. or at least is not the be all and end all which is what a lot of mental health awareness raising seems to promote #*visibly worse on the streets. it was always a problem ofc but even a decade ago my parents never imagined it would be as bad as it is now #and it's become so normalised. i do think there's less individualism here than there seems to be elsewhere which can be good and can be bad #but i think we are becoming more and more individualistic. slowly. there's still a sense of community here but i do think it's changing #and callousness towards homeless people is one of the most obvious examples of this. #love when i put a wee asterisk in the tags of a post. like i have A Lot To Say lol

i'm back in the psychiatric hospital, i'm working in one of the rehab/withdrawal wards and i'm gonna be real with you guys..as a child of addicts? that shit is ROUGH.

#one of my half siblings i'm not in contact with was there as a patient not to long ago #drug ment tw #it hasn't been as triggering as i though it would be but i couldn't work there long time #and like i know its even more rough for people going through active addiction #nothing but compassion for them

[einsatzzz]

im being so brave rn, very brave. will continue being brave even if my exams hypothetically gets postponed to may/june, prolonging my suffering 🤣

#ok it got delayed to mid-february #but it hasn't been confirmed yet so its still up in the air tbh #but it can't get delayed any more than that bc i have an out of country trip #and i alr paid for the plane tickets for those #for my mental health and morale im not postponing that trip for this exam #ive alr compromised enough #i can accept it being postponed to may/june if ever #i'll just do my best #tho my anxiety being at consistently high levels for a long time now is really fcking over my brain #personal

my future when it comes to still being Active on social media is teebeedee, but my main resolution for 2024 is like...be comfortable w/ being completely offline even if it's just for a day or a week.

#the good news is that i don't check sm during the am hours anymore (by that i mean like as soon as i wake up i still need to work #on being less online during the after hours aka anything later than 9-10pm ish) #BUT i've learned that being active hasn't made my ppl pleasing tendencies better and that there are many many things i need to like #work on far away from places like tumblr and The Big Four #(that being ig twitter still not calling it x fb and like...reddit #though tbf i haven't been ACTIVE active on twitter + fb for almost 4/5 years now so theres that #i still lurk the former when i'm feeling REAL bored but thats rare these days which is an improvement? #though i also have to work on doing shit that doesnt involve online brainrot 24/7 aka reading and writing and like...watching media that #isnt like...football (soccer 4 the us/canada/aus folks) #but lb ruined my love of film for a LONG long time bc it values getting the most pop review over idk actually loving movies #idk its just me rambling abt my relationship w/ sm and where it stands atm perdon sghdjfhj #the tl;dr is i need to shut up and log off when my body is telling me to stop gsbdhjfghjikejr #be quiet drea

laughin' till our ribs gets tough

(some dialogue under the cut)

PAN: do you remember the night we graduated?

MAMOTHA: of course I do. how could I ever forget?

PAN: oh, easily. you drank enough to drown a Klingon that night.

MAMOTHA: you forget, my friend, that I have the constitution of a Romulan. and, for the record, youre a lightweight, even by Human standards.

PAN: say what you will, but I know I wasn't the one tripping over my own two feet on the way back to our dorm.

MAMOTHA: you'll never let me live that down, will you?

PAN: absolutely not. you walked back barefoot because you knew you were too drunk to walk in those stupid heels, and then you still tripped and twisted your ankle. I had to carry you back!

MAMOTHA: you didn't have to carry me, you insisted on it. I could've hobbled perfectly fine, thank you.

PAN: oh, forgive me for looking out for you.

MAMOTHA: we're not getting into this argument again. it's been 5 years! besides, you had fun, too, don't deny it. do you remember when we finally got inside, and you were so relieved we got back without incident-

PAN: -and I went and tripped right over my own discarded shoes and we both hit the ground. yeah, I remember. only time I've ever seen you laugh yourself to tears.

MAMOTHA: I couldn't make it stop. I thought I was going to be sick.

PAN: you were sick. all over the carpet.

MAMOTHA: ha! right. I always did hate that carpet.

PAN: so did I. god, was that really 5 years ago?

MAMOTHA: it was. feels like it was just yesterday, doesn't it?

PAN: sometimes. and sometimes-

MAMOTHA: it feels like it's been a lifetime.

PAN: yeah.

MAMOTHA: do you remember what you said? after we stopped laughing, while we were still lying there.

PAN: course I do. we're gonna touch those stars, Mamotha.

MAMOTHA: almost. you called me Motha.

PAN: huh. so I did.

MAMOTHA: it's... been a while. since you called me that.

PAN: well... it wouldn't really be appropriate now, would it? since you're my captain and all.

MAMOTHA: ...no. no, I guess it wouldn't be. I guess I'm still getting used to that.

PAN: me, too. but... I am. getting used to it, I mean. you're doing pretty great.

MAMOTHA: ...thank you, Pan.

PAN: anytime, Captain.

#queens originals #my art #star trek oc #uss athena #mamotha #pan belrose #theyre best friends #have been since their academy days #and theyre both achieving their dreams #but sometimes they find themselves yearning for a time when things were... a bit simpler #it hasn't been that long since they were in the academy #and sometimes it feels like they just graduated #but sometimes it feels like it was a lifetime ago #because now Mamotha is a captain and Pan is her chief science officer #rank and formality wasn't something they had to worry about when they were cadets #but now... #well. there's a reason its a happy scene I drew but I chose lyrics from Ribs #anyways thats enough rambling have some cuties #theyre about 21 or so here #I had to remember to draw in Mamotha's bracelet #its very important to her

okay, I've kind of touched briefly on this before but venadeus viii is a corrupting force for io. while he only interacts with them via dreams, he uses it to influence a lot of how io reacts to their waking world. and he has a lot of sway in how they resurrect. whether that be peacefully, or violently. as the god of violent magic, it can be (correctly) assumed he has a preference. and that he certainly has his machinations working in the world to sway it the way he wishes. even if he dies when io takes the title, he can still ensure that his domain is given new life.

YES, I'm talking about fantasy verse AGAIN as a sub-note but I love using aus to expand on certain aspects of what io is like in canon. fantasy absolutely expands on io's vice of wrath. venadeus viii is still a god in this verse, and he is still replaced with iovita. he did this maliciously, though. he did not tell them that they were taking his place as a god. he told them that they would be untouchable. dangerous. he unleashed them back on the world as a living, breathing force of natural disaster. someone who would twist themself into knots just to get a taste of destruction again. someone who would swallow the sun if they could, for just an ounce more of power. because he encouraged iovita's core belief: the path to peace is forged in violence. io in this verse isn't really aware that they're technically a god. if they were slain, the environmental impact would be absolutely catastrophic - because everything about them has been turned into something prickly, venomous, boiling hot, dangerous. but they would also resurrect again. and certainly throw themself directly back into vengeance. it can still be presumed that io is the god of destructive/violent nature in this verse. their many viper-like qualities, their fire, and their absolute claim on their valley (refusing to allow people to build anything more than a couple measly villages) are all evidence of them subconsciously embracing the domain they claimed when they accepted venadeus viii's proposal.

my roundabout way of rerouting this back to canon is just to point out that io is very corruptible and venadeus viii is very good at corrupting. depending on how io dies, he can influence them into coming back bitter, angry, and very destructive. catastrophically so. which is why see: fantasy verse. io in that verse would raze a country just because they wanted to. and this is because of the way they died: bitter, hurt, angry. unjustly.

#⌜❝ 𝙸. we are never what we intend or envision. ⟩⟩ #𝙼𝙰𝙸𝙽 𝙰𝙱𝙾𝚄𝚃. and if you make it out alive hold that bloody head up high.❞ ⌟ #queue. #venadeus's current incentive. to /making/ io take his place. is that its been a really fucking long time and immortality is not for everyon #and he's kind of pissed io hasn't fucking died yet #(io DOES enjoy their immortality) #I have yet to figure out what the previous venadeus's incentives were to making their children take their place #you are all privy to my silly little wip #io will Not have an incentive to pass the title btw. #they have the opposite #an incentive to not fucking pass the title at all #io gets to break ONE cycle and that's the venadeus cycle #they are the last venadeus. #anyway insert that red string conspiracy board meme here #you know the one #thats me talking about all this shit

i looooove the horrifying elements of the doctor and river's relationship, like not only did her whole childhood revolve around him, but they essentially trapped each other in their timelines. the doctor gave her her identity as river (and while she found independence within it, still sort of fucked (names are so important)) and river fucking DIED on his ass!! and while time can be rewritten, i feel like the doctor has a certain amount of respect for time that has already been written, that with the fact that she died for him and he apparently trusts her and maybe even loves her in the future........ they literally trapped each other

#and they could've been SO bitter to each other about it. enemies to lovers docriver au in my head my beloved #and its enemies to lovers IN THE WRONG WAY. even more lost time 🌟🌟 #long winded way of saying we shouldve been young river be an asshole to him #much like the way he was to her #but instead of fear and distrust its just. resentment for taking up so much of her life #LIKE a good man goes to war.......... THAT river couldve been far worse #just her taunting him with the truth and not being flirty when he figures it out but condescending and mean <3<3 #a river that either hasn't quite fallen in love with him or HAS and is just pissed off that her life STILL revolves around this guy #and she knows he sort of likes it #neither of them have control so they try to wrestle for tit at the beginning of their respective relationships #doctor who

Hey msy I ask did my earlier ask that had to do with God of death reader went through or did tumblr ate it

yes they all got through and I have written things for them! I just haven't flushed them out enough to post it yet. I want to tie them all together somehow like a multipart fic but I'm having trouble weaving the web narrative but I have the next part with how reader met Fierce and Hylia getting jealous ready and that should be out tomorrow.

next up is Sun and Sky meeting reader and Sun fighting with reader on the surface as her weapon when she gets pulled down, and after that a Hyrule warriors era fic on Skyloft with Fi and the rest but that might get too long so I may posy another idea first. I have reader taking place of the Poe statue and meeting Wild in the works as well. Reader gained a lot of power during the calamity because of all those who died. The demon army reviving takes the souls away from them so they're stuck trying to fight to stop more from spawning while also having trouble protecting Fauna and Wild.
