So do you think the “job Cookie names” (you know, one’s like Adventurer and Muscle, etc) are like, chosen names?

Because I don’t think Cookies like Adventurer or Knight were baked as an adventurer and knight respectively (I mean, maybe Knight could have been baked by the Witches to be a knight, but we know Adventurer comes from a family, so he probably fully grew up). You have to rise to the rank of knight and Adventurer is what he is in spite of his aristocratic background. Did they originally have different names but chose to take on these names as sort of a title indicating what they are?

scrapped pose from theo's birthday edit

little koala 🐨

#river dipping #theodore doe #matthias evanoff #echthroi #a burning house to live in #ts4 #blender #...that's just my general tag for pics of their sims but this is them in blender so it feels weird to use that... oh well lmfao #i'm waiting for sim ripper to load one of the outfits i need for this pose i wanna make so. i'm just in blender spinning mattodore around #i could start working on the pose now and apply the armature later but i'll just wait #ignore theo's weird knees btw........... it's just blender the pose looked fine in game when i tested it originally #do NOT ignore matthias's pancake ass tho! for some reason these slacks just do that to his ass. it's sooo criminal!! he has a bubble butt!!#anyway... theo is like. openly sobbing but his face is literally buried in matthias's shoulder so you can't see his expression #he's so wounded here... i mean obviously since this was originally gonna be in the edit but........ :/#yk that bit from the caption on the edit where theo gets flashbacks and describes the breeze and the looming darkness.....#and then to have matthias see it all... like that recognition of a part of theo's self that he doesn't even turn his own face toward... ugh #he needed that comfort yk... and he needed to be held. at every age.#UGHHHHH okay okay i'm letting myself get emotional here let's go back to thinking abt matthias's pancake ass in these pics haha funny #insert that screenshot of roman texting ''i am going to kill myself'' to gerri

y'know sometimes I go to make a post on this here webbed site, and I almost always end up deletin it cause I measure it through the "how widely applicable is this" + "how horribly can people twist this" metrics and it just stops my little fingies from typin

(this turned into me typing an essay in the tags cause I very much did need to process some shit lmao)

#I have thoughts I wanna get out there #but also I have had people threaten me and harrass me for far less than my thoughts of #'hey maybe my community isn't fuckin normal about trans women' and #'you can be fucked in the gender and also not use transmisogynistic stereotypes and terminologies to do that'#while also pointing out that transmasculine experiences are frequently ignored erased minimized and criticized habitually #(I have eliminated my worries via tag talk lmao so i will keep on processin down here)#Like idk its such a difficult intersection of shit because obviously a lot of transmasculine folks have experienced primarily if not only #other transmasc spaces online and have some deep set transmisogyny going on and then also the other way around of a lot of transfeminine #folk have primarily if not only interacted within transfem spaces and have deep set transmisogyny goin on #(which I'm not gonna argue on transmisogyny being a transfem only word or about transandrophobia or anti-transmasculinity my verbige is #constantly changing around this topic because of the shit that gets hurled at transmascs that use any of the transmasc specific words or th #OG word that applies to the misogyny experienced and intertwined with transness just: language is hard and imperfect so I'm using what I'm #using right now)#and anyway so those two groups of folk clash on their own and have a lot of strained and difficult communication and then there's a third #group that intentionally causes further rifts by trolling and sending hate anons and making accounts pretending to be transfem or transmasc #and shitting on ''the other side'' (heavy HEAVY quotations on that one)#and that all combines into an absolute clusterfuck of lack of understanding or sympathy from either 'side' of things for the other #there is just a lack of fundamental knowledge about our brothers sisters and others shared between us all and it is INFURIATING

the age old "two cakes" mantra of fandom creation is so true in that genuinely you should not worry about doing what someone else has already done because your take on the same ideas is valuable anyway but I do so hate when all of a fandom's popular content is sort of the same thing. its like going to a bake sale and everyone brought a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting. it's so good, but I can only eat so much cake. the frosting is getting to be too much in my mouth. I just want someone's homemade specialty cookies

#this is an invitation for all of you to drop your favorite really uncommon au fics in the tags for me to read if it's a pairing I like #especially bylers. I would like to see something other than our 3 cycled ones #SHOW ME YOUR WEIRDO NICHE SHIT #for bylers specifically it doesn't even have to be that niche like it could be an au that's decidedly not niche in any other fandom #I just feel like we have exclusively 1. modern au/college au (paired together cause they're barely different)#2. mildly canon divergent 3. fantasy #but that like. only applies to fics like I see people drop insanely cool moodboards like “oh paranormal investigators au”#WHO IS GONNA WRITE THE FUCKING FIC. ANY OTHER FANDOM THAT WOULD BE EASY TO FIND. WTF #and like I know the obvious answer to this to you may be “well don't only read popular shit try to branch out”#which. obviously. but I do not have the TIME or DESIRE to sift through thousands of fics #especially when I want to stumble across someone's weird niche shit like what tags do you use for that

ok ok i've been inspired here is a big ramble about worldbuilding stuff that i think makes the resistance fight more interesting

under a read more bc 1) i need this to be sectioned into paragraphs and 2) i imagine this is gonna be WAY LONGER on a phone than it is on my laptop screen rn

okay so first of all. SCREW YOU SKYBLOCK TIME THAT'S REALLY BORING!! so skyblock goes through a year in about 5 days in our time. one day/night cycle is 20 real minutes. cool right? dante's reign lasted a little over 2 years! WRONG. admins are lame and decided that it's not an Actual year, it's literally a period of 5 days. one of the hub NPCs explains that the nights just go by REALLY fast here. BUT WHY WOULD A DICTATOR ONLY BE ELECTED FOR LIKE 12 DAYS THAT'S SO LAME, A 2YR PERIOD GIVES THE SITUATION SO MUCH MORE URGENCY... i think it's more fun to imagine being "logged in" puts you in an odd state of time where you experience more time than what passes. players stuck in the server were only gone for ~12 days but they Felt over 2 years go by. like that one training chamber in dbz or whatever

ALSO IMPORTANT. travel was banned by dante after a while. this meant that you were stuck wherever you were. 2 things of note here tho. 1) it's implied that all the islands including the player homes are connected physically, so theoretically you could fly to someone else's island, maybe even to the hub and back, if you were someone who could fly (maybe you have wings?) or if you have enough mana and dedication lol... but also point number 2. you could still log out, technically that's travel when you think of the servers/smps/etc as all being connected in some way. well that's no fun. imagine instead being fully cut off from the outside world. no chat to friends who arent logged in, no escape, nothing. there were probably poor outsiders who saw their friend suddenly disappear without a trace for a while. skyblock players are prone to do that, but they arent even available in chat?? that's not like them :/ augh i love it i love thinking abt ppl wondering where their friend went and they're like "lol sorry we had to kill some dictator. yea it was this whole thing. the admins all trapped us on the server too. no they were on his side. yea :/"

so anyways with that out of the way, think of how much more serious the resistance becomes with just those two changes. TWO YEARS dante spends making the place unlivable, slowly taking everything from you. money, pets, access to buildings (unless you pledge your allegiance to him of course), travel... but eventually you find out there's ppl who are planning on rising up against him. well why rise up, cant we just contact the admins? nope, no contact with the outside, we're trapped here. also, they're on his side anyways. yes, even simon. this resistance is gonna secretly make and distribute armor with the power to fight off dante. apparently he gets his energy from the moon or something. also dante banned the sun. dont ask how. either simon did that for him or dante has some very concerning powers. they have to get people with their cause without getting caught, but dante eventually puts out a notice that he caught word of a resistance brewing... so we got caught somehow. are there other people are on his side? one of our own reported us? well that might be a MASSIVE problem one day. could have also been an admin, since two of the generals live with one (aaaaand one of them would eventually become an admin. he also didnt lay a hand on dante during the fight despite being a general. hmmmmmmm)

it's all done and settled and things need to be rebuilt. everything is okay. someone put up a grave for dante, saying dante best of course. so his supporters live on. great, awesome, love that. but much worse than that. a goon was spotted in the main hub. no not the skyblock hub. the MAIN hub. outside of the skyblock realm. they escaped........

#ok so take all of this. now imagine hardcore rules applied #YALL WANTED TO FIGHT A DICTATOR? WELL NOW YOU GET THE FULL EXPERIENCE. DIE FOR YOUR CAUSE.#JDHKJFSHDGNFKGH I LOVE IT I WANNA WRITE A HARDCORE VERSION IT'S JUST SO FUN TO IMAGINE #TOSSING IT AROUND IN MY BRAIN 24/7 #imagine dante being able to just. DO THAT. console commands babey!!!#i think the admins would NOT side with him then. but what are they gonna do. they're in hardcore now too. oppose him and die #just sit tight and let it all play out. admire the carnage after. contact the server's necromancers...#chat #not throwing this in tags im gonna let it just float here to be forgotten one day fkjhgj

#edel vents #disclaimer: really personal issues in the tags. also wishes of death upon others. this is PROBABLY too much information tbh...#so if you're not up for it scroll down fast!!!! the deluge is coming!!!#today was... eventful. bad. also very bad. grandma's birthday celebration was today #and while she... definitely has Old People Issues (racist) shes also very lonely since the death of my grandfather so i can't really not go #i'm the only one who really visits her regularly to begin with #aside from the... very serious racism issue... she's “alright”. i guess. but that's besides the point. there's family there #and among those... my parents. which i don't like to talk to #discovered they threw more of my old stuff away. typical. wanted to strangle them. as usual.#had to “talk” with my mother (read: spend approximately ten seconds reciting exactly why i *don't* talk to her anymore)#so that whole ordeal completely soured my mood.#went home tired. can't really do anything right now.#at least the food was good i guess. but i also really want to cry... which i can't. which sucks.#...i really like to think i've improved as a person. i used to be really hateful of everything and everyone #worst of all myself. still kinda do but i'm... getting better..?#i like to think i've grown past most of it but every time i see my parents i feel this gripping at my heart. as if i haven't really changed #as if instead i'm still the hateful person i “always was” deep down... bc there's this visceral joy that i feel whenever i'm mad at them.#when i looked at my mother and told her how much i despise her i felt a shiver of happiness. righteousness.#to be clear: i do NOT care for her. at all. she's the worst person on this earth #and the only person whom my philosophy of “nobody deserves to die” does NOT apply to. i'm not scared of hating her.#she genuinely deserves this. but...every time i see my parents - and thus her... i feel as if i'm slipping back into that mindset of hatred #i don't want that. not anymore. it consumed me whole. i was a horrible person back then and i've caused so much grief for so many #i can't let go of this hatred. i can't forgive them. they don't deserve my forgiveness anyway. but i'm tired of hating.#i'm tired of letting that hatred define me. i'm tired of letting that hatred direct me. i'm tired of letting it bring me to ruin.#i'm tired of being who i was. i'm no longer “that”. i'm edel now and i'm happy for people now. if i don't like something i just walk out.#i can just leave. “if it sucks hit the bricks” right?.. but i didn't. i had to say it. i had to tell them. her. and i liked it.#and... i'm scared of that. because it tells me i haven't improved.#i'm not sure what i'm expecting out of posting this i guess. maybe help. maybe i wanna be told that this is normal or something.#maybe i just want to get my thoughts in order. i don't know. i'm gonna stop writing now.#sorry for making you read all this. thanks for doing it anyway. tags were cut off on this one btw so it may look like a mess. but. yeah.

So there's that D&D class quiz going around, & I took it & was so deeply offended I got Paladin.

& so I have had conversations with both Bestie & Birdfriend about this grave insult & they both were like, "Well... They have a point?" & informed me that my desire to absorb hits meant for others & deep drive to help whenever I actually can & strong convictions make me a bit Paladin-coded.

& I am just so... Idk. It's just interesting to get glimpses of yourself from other people's POVs. To be told that my defining characteristics are protecting & healing others & being incredibly fighty about the things I care about... Especially as someone whose brain specifically fixates on whether I care enough, do enough, give enough... Yeah. It's just kinda wild.

Anyway, I'm now adjusting my self-perception to include the fact that if I were a D&D character, I would be an Oath of the Ancients Paladin & not a wizard & that actually that's okay.

#I don't Believe many things #because I prefer to stay open to new perspectives #& think that a balanced approach to life involves embracing a certain level of ambiguity in reality #but the things I do Believe in?#Oh I Believe them with all my heart.#I don't know how my belief system will change in the future #But I do know that above all else I believe in Kindness #Kindness to yourself Kindness to everyone around you Kindness to nature #The point of society is to ensure Everyone is treated well & can enjoy existence as much as possible #The point is Joy. The method is Kindness.#& if you aren't fighting for Everyone to be taken care of & respected & treated with Kindness #then I am not interested in your revolution.#If you hate the people against you more than you love the people you're fighting for?#You're missing the goddamn point.#(Please note I'm speaking of Kindness as a separate concept from Niceness.)#(Sometimes you cannot be Kind without being Not Nice to someone who is doing unkindnesses.)#(But I feel like a lot of people mistake that concept for an excuse to deny those they disagree with Kindness.)#(& my dudes you don't actually have principles if they only apply to people you like & agree with.)#There is no freedom until everyone is free includes the people you don't like.#While I am not free right now due to my various axes of oppression & the oppression others face #I'm also not gonna be free if we straight up murder & imprison the current oppressors #Trading one oppressive system for another isn't actually all that radical???#Just 'cause you think 'the right people' are being oppressed doesn't make oppressing them okay?#Like I'm a leftist because I believe Literally Everyone should be allowed to live whatever fulfilling life they want #so long they as aren't doing a damage to someone else in order to do so.#Not because I think I think the wrong people are oppressed.#Hm now that I've written this fucking essay on ethics in my tags #I am seeing Bestie & Birdfriend's points...#Birdfriend legit said that I'm the '**smacks others while screaming** BE! KIND! TO! EACH! OTHER!' type of Paladin.#I guess they were right.

cause if your friend was fantasizing about getting valentine’s day chocolates from your boyfriend and then promised she didn’t have feelings for him/nothing was going on only to turn around a few months after your break up and proclaim she’s had feelings for him all along and kisses him… y’all would’ve burned nini at the stake btw

#drafts spree #anti rina #no cause FUCK you #tag: i speakth #hsmtmts #i need u losers to see this one actually i hate u #this is all a joke btw like i didn’t think i’d have to clarify #but it def is a joke i’m really not gonna hate on a whole group of people over this #also i’m speaking to a very specific audience here that hinges on racism against nini as well as just a general unnecessary hatred for her #like if it doesn’t apply let it fly i’ve got r*na mutuals i’d never hate on them for smthn so stupid😭

I think what anon meant to say is that Mine is the complete opposite of Kiryu, but they have their similarities (both being orphans who became weirdo’s when they grew up) however their paths, the people they surround themselves with, and their worldviews are different.

yeah alright thats fair 😩

#snap chats #i accidentally deleted all my tags im going to fucking scream. im gonna type them all up again but just know im mad #LIKE YEAH. its just the words 'mine is evil capitalist kiryu' shotgunned me in the face i coludnt discern what it meant #the comparison between mine and kiryu is somethin that ive always been interested in tho highkey #after mine's caregiver died he had absolutely no one growing up. meanwhile kiryu had the likes of yumi nishiki and kazama + kashiwagi #kiryu might not have had a biological family anymore but he very much still had a family and a role model #whether kazama was a good one or not aint the topic at hand Point Is its obvious having family in your early years is pretty important #its only astounding mine was able to become a white collar citizen all alone but god...#this is just reminding me i have to finish my childhood development paper WHOOPS its almost done i prommy but anyway #its so unfortunate for mine to be like 'you're like me why are you so happy' because he /isnt/ like mine #he had an entirely different life growing up so of course the two cant connect at all #and with that perspective its just a little insane for kiryu to try to assert that mine should Just Think Differently #thats not his fault obviously he cant know the extent of mine's childhood. all he heard was I Was An Orphan #and took his own experiences and applied them- as mine did towards kiryu #i am. RAMBLING anyway common grounds mine and kiryu do have are orphans + daigo + the lengths theyll go for loved ones #only problem is for mine that includes killing The Loved One because he's insane and thinks coma patients should be mercy killed #like no mine !!!! thats not a thing you can decide put the guN DOWN #ok bye. im gonna stare at my wall

you know i mostly really like my grad program and everything but i have very quickly learned not to ask too much about vision and hearing loss bc it turns out most of the faculty here know very little about those things. they know a little bit about hearing loss but really only in the sense of "get them fitted with hearing aids/CI as early as possible so they can develop like a hearing child". i really wanna learn more about language development in deaf, blind, and deafblind children because that's the population i specifically wanna work with (and have worked with in the past). and it's just been frustrating having my questions about those populations be met with "uh. i'm really not sure."

most of the faculty have been nice about it, but i have had the misfortune of being assigned an advisor who is borderline hostile about it. the first time i brought up this subject, (back through email when i was still deciding where to go), i was asking about an ASL elective that was offered within the program and whether there were any other electives with related topics. she responded by telling me that this was a masters program in speech language pathology, not ASL. great! you could've just said "no." the second time it came up was a few weeks ago when i talked to her about maybe doing a masters thesis (i won't be doing one, by the way). i said that if i were to do one, it would be about deafness, blindness, and/or deafblindness, and she said something like, "that's not a subject that's typically studied or taught in a CSD curriculum". as if it's just crazy that i as a CSD student would want to learn about something as esoteric as fucking vision and hearing loss! what a marvel!! not like those two senses have fucking anything to do with communication huh??? not like children who are deafblind face significant barriers in their development of language, the effects of which i have personally seen in numerous individuals??? clearly i'm really the crazy one here

#sorry this ended up turning into a rant about this specific professor lol #i did mean for it to be more general but she really pissed me off #she has in fact pissed me off two out of the two times i have spoken to her so that's cool #she apparently also sucks as a prof but my cohort has lucked out bc #she was supposed to teach neuro this semester and artic/phono next semester but isn't for unknown reasons #so we get other (better) teachers #apparently i will have to have her this summer tho :/#anyway as to why i'm getting steamed about this weeks after the fact #i'm currently reading a paper on deafblindness (that i personally chose for a class project) and it's just on my mind again #everyone in the class had to pick papers on a population of interest for them (like autism; down syndrome; selective mutism; etc)#and there's a public list of what everyone chose and i'm the only one who chose anything about vision/hearing which i guess isn't surprisin #but yeah the more i think about this stuff the more i kinda wish i had taken all my prereqs so i could have applied to go to gallaudet #if there's any program that's gonna have people who know more about these populations it's there #out of the places i was accepted i feel very confident i chose the best option #this place has a brand new asl program and so they are actively making efforts to raise deaf awareness in the dept #but even with that it's still astonishing how people in this field brush off knowing anything about these populations #like yeah it's very low incidence i can get that #but we still learned a bunch about fucking williams syndrome and that's exceedingly rare #and rare or not it has a demonstrable effect on language development which makes it extremely relevant #jesus i'm sorry for the tag essay i'm gonna stop #i am procrastinating as usual bc i can't focus on this paper even though i am very interested #here is that grad school tag
