"don't pretend you actually care about this you only heard about this cOnFlicT on october" have some respect do you have any idea how long we've been blocking this oxford comma guy

#in honor of him wojacking me just now. too tempted to respond to him but no. i have more self respect #also i fucking hate the 'you only heard about this recently' silencing tactic because #1- completely overlooks the populations that GREW UP with this cause #2- yeah i would very much rather it didn't take 30k deaths for people to start making noise but #if an average young person heard something on the news recently and thought to themselves #'oh dear this is such a travesty i need to learn more about this and how to help!' then good for them?? why is this a bad thing?? #again i'm talking about the average kid not. people like b*rnie s*nders who have been #supporting the occupation since forever and only decided 'oh no this is too much' after 30k deaths

jay went to clown school. let’s talk about that

#art by me #jrwi riptide #jay ferin #i was drawing wherever the wind took me #and it took me to clown school jay #the best destination i could’ve hoped for #i feel like so much could be explored or expanded there in fanon #but i barely see anything #welp if there is none make some #sound off in the comments if you ever think about how jay rarely retracts into herself when faced with conflict #but instead goes to clown school or hitches a ride with the loserest boy she can find #and it’s the rare (and most impactful) moments when she responds differently #shutting down after the phone call with her grandmother #or blowing up after learning about lizzie and ava #or crying as she’s told to shoot her friend in the chest #but the every day conflict almost always gets humor as a response #which leads to very out of pocket moments but we love jay for it #oooooough jay ferin the way you express emotions is so important to meeeee #ALSO the fact that often it’s insult based humor or overly confident in self humor #let’s dissect that jay how do you relate to your friends in the hierarchical structure of the navy academy #did you feel like your humor had to subtly place you at the top? or you would not be enough? jay? #your relationship with kira hinges on fixing this structure by being better than it hm? let’s talk about that #let’s talk about how your life centered a lot around being the best even if not directly or intentionally #should i do a full analysis on this? #i kinda wanna do a full analysis on this

Me explaining in terms of strictly how I read canon I think Nahida not severely punishing the Sages is just meant to convey that Nahida, even when wronged, is not a very vengeful or harsh person and makes the choice to be kind instead, but in my mind I have this idea of a Nahida interpretation which elaborates on that where her self punishing tendencies extend to her being someone who internally downplays her own experiences constantly, and as a result has a hard time feeling she’s allowed or justified in placing a lot of blame on the Sages for what they did to her So while she is following her own philosophies regarding teaching lessons/wisdom/etc in how to handle the Sages and genuinely doesn’t want to be really angry or punishing because of who she is as a person, her decision is also influenced by the fact she’s basically blocked herself out of grappling with how to handle people who hurt her by blaming herself for said hurt instead as a coping mechanism. And like this is all just me being insane about Nahida Trauma and not something explicitly implied in canon but also I really do think this isn’t a far stretch from her canon characterization especially when my vision isn’t to conclude that Nahida needs to be angry and vengeful but she should extend the kindness she shows others to herself and also every day I get tormented thinking about she was the mental equivalent of an average human child when the Sages found her and how they basically specifically discarded her for being a child and the idea of how Nahida would pick up on + internalize that and eventually need time to unlearn it

#nahida #genshin #fern.txt #fandomferns #fictional child abuse cw #anyways is anyone else here normal #see I think a sentiment most ppl get from nahdia’s character is correctly that she is kind despite being treated so poorly #but I want to explore her grappling with Why she does that bc she is genuinely kind #and I don’t think she’s struggling with moving on from things #but based off things she says word for word I feel it’s established nahida is very distressed by not being able to rationalize or #understand things that upset her #this is clear in both her SQs & her voicelines even down to her not liking seafood bc the unknown of the ocean #intimidates her. so I’d imagine she’s someone who responds to being mistreated by concluding #there must be a reason for it. and I actually have dialogue that backs me up here #bc when we first learn the sages have imprisoned nahida nahida herself basically says it’s fine bc her existence has #little meaning and she’s not good enough to be an archon. even as paimon is remarking how awful #the sages are for it and prompting nahida on if she’s upset w them #it’s not that Nahida isn’t insightful enough to acknowledge something as mistreatment #but rather she finds more comfort and a sense of control in having explanations for things #heck the reason she gives up her gnosis to Dottore is states in her char stories to be bc #she doesn’t want the lack of control that comes from a lack of information #nahida leaning on knowledge for a sense of control makes me esp sad when I think abt how #she does not have autonomy or agency for a majority of her life bc of her imprisonment n had fo rely on her #mind n ability to learn n gain knowledge #anyways to reiterate ks anyone else normal

Bruce posting to the official Bruce Wayne Twitter account: I truly go into househusband mode when I'm someone's soulmate- like, I'll make you pancakes and bacon every morning.

Clark, responding: This is a lie.

Clark: I'm literally dating him. This is a lie.

Clark: HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO COOK A PANCAKE, WHAT IS THIS.

#this is how the world learns that reporter clark kent is dating billionaire bruce wayne #clark is embarrassed but a little relieved its been done #bruce quietly finds it hilarious because he didn't think clark would actually respond like that #he made the tweet on a dare from his kids #the batkids are loving it #are taking the opportunity to continue roasting bruce over his lack of kitchen skills #partly because they love roasting bruce but also since it helps bring a little attention of off clark #incorrect quotes #incorrect dcu quotes #incorrect Batman quotes #incorrect superman quotes #incorrect superbat quotes #dcu #bruce wayne #batman #clark kent #superman #superbat

the shyest creature on earth dreams of art streaming

#i know it sounds like im giving every reason why i SHOULDNT do it but i really wanna learn how to someday #i dont really have the space or privacy for it rn though since i live at home with 3 other ppl plus i have school to focus on ugh #ive been able to stream my art in discord calls but i havent done it in so long and the atmosphere is a little different #not bad different though. its fun to draw ppls conversations out and make shitposts. and i like any kind of attention heh #i also use procreate so its hard to stream frm my ipad but im looking into a lighting adapter to HDMI cable to project on my monitor #part of my urge to start a twitch might also be because i wanna learn how to make and rig a little avatar and use cute frames #and id love to play some ambience music while i draw and just. idk. listen to ppl talk..? but im lacking in audience engagement #since i suck at responding and public speaking and prefer to do things quietly. i just like being observed like im on national geographic #yapping #doodles #sona #puppysona #my art #myart

Specifically thinking about long distance relationships today.

So tell me how you and your f/o would first meet online?

#I feel like Bakugou and I would meet in one of those online games he’s downloaded to mindlessly waste time between shifts #and he’s so foul at first because he thinks I’m weak but we play and he realises that I’m #actually whooping everyone and he’s like well damn okay #and now he’s messaging in the alliance chat and like getting excited when I’m online even tho he tries to hide it #and gets annoyed when other creeps in his alliance try to flirt with me #and then he’s asking for my discord #me and Sanemi get into a fight on discord the first time we interact #in some stupid big server I only joined for the emojis #but he’s a jerk so I tell him to shut up and a message later I find a msg notification and it’s him trying to continue the conversation😭 #enjin slides into my dms on Instagram #he finds my post at a concert and hates the fuckboys that are commenting below #ends up messaging me to see if I’m okay but then immediately worries he’s one of those guys #Tamsy I feel like is that mutual I’ve had forever on twt and we like each others posts but we’ve NEVER talked to each other?? #it’s not until I’m feeling sad at 2am and I post something self-deprecating that he drops me a msg🥺 #and we end up staying up until 5am just talking to each other #Kirishima is ALWAYS the guy that responds to my ‘morning’ with a morning back! every day without fail #and I slide into his DMs one day and ask how he’s ALWAYS awake when I am??? like to say it back so quick #and he admits he’s kinda learned my schedule and he tries to be online for it because it’s one of the best parts of his day #and he likes saying it back😭😭😭 even if he’s off from a night shift and needs sleep he can’t without seeing me msg #Shindou blatantly flirts with me in a gaming discord and I think he’s an incel so I block him #he gets a friend to ping me to beg me to unblock him and I refuse #the friend then sends another message with a screenshot of Shindou basically begging me to unblock him😭 #Dot and I meet in one of those AITA Reddit threads #and we end up borderline arguing over whether op is TA #so much that we get told to take it elsewhere😭😭😭 #enjo #bakujo #eijo #but also catch me sending Dynamight sassy banter on his official socials😭😂

obsessed with the way cass and jason mirror and invert each other. cass’s father didn’t want her to be human so he tried to make her a weapon. jason’s dad doesn’t want him to be a weapon so he tried to force him to be more human. and they were both wrong.

This is how Amelia's era as a vicar SHOULD have ended *sob*

love that Thad interprets inertia to mean continuing at all costs and Three takes it to mean stagnancy, bc theyre both right!! objects in motion saty in motion objects at rest stay at rest just like newton said

exactly yeah! because i knew i wanted Thad to reclaim the name for himself (with the whole "it means what i say it means" mantra) it needed to mean more to him than just a representation of Thawne Legacy Kill The Allens etc.

a reoccurring thing in Frequency that i liked to lean into was this idea of Good Inertia and Bad Impulses (bc Bart and Thad as narrative foils continues to rotate in my brain forever). i think Bart's solo does a cool exploration of both good and bad impulses throughout the run, it's kind of the central conflict of the whole thing, but it's usually in regards to Bart either unwittingly getting himself into trouble or accidentally solving problems by just leaping into everything without thinking twice. but the concept of inertia is pretty exclusively portrayed as negative. which is fair, the phrase "coasting on inertia" is in the lexicon for a reason. but i think it deserved a fair shot - the concept of continuing in spite of everything can actually be a really good instinct when you're in a bad situation. keeping up that momentum, moving forward no matter what, there's definitely something inspirational there that appeals to me.

and an aspect of impulses that didnt get as much spotlight in Bart's solo was the kinds of impulses that recoil at the thought of unpleasantness. the impulse to hide from responsibility, the impulse to distract from pain, to avoid discomfort, etc. (big part of that is because in Bart's solo, most of the worst moments of his life hadn't happened to him yet) so i wanted to explore it a little in Frequency

anyway yeah, Bad Impulses and Good Inertia. which was kinda in conversation with Bart and Thad's dispositions, and how they run counter to typical hero/villain narratives. (Bart doesn't really get people, goes his own way, has pretty emotionally selfish and sometimes violent tendencies when he's pissed off. Thad's much more of a people person, lives for praise and pleasing others, seems to forget to do violence when he's supposed to i.e. that time he put Bart in VR jail even though Bart was completely incapacitated and by Thawne logic Thad should've just killed him. it just... doesn't occur to him as a thing he should do lmao)

#asks #anonymous #not to belabour the point but yeah i tried to stay true to their core kinda mechanics and how they respond to people #i see bart and thad as mirrors in the low-empathy/high-empathy departments #where bart doesn't really relate to people most of the time - although he can guess at what they're feeling and try to respond accordingly #drawing on what he learned from max and helen and his friends #still caring deeply for people but never seeing himself reflected in them #and then on the flipside there's thad who cant seem to stop himself from projecting on everyone and getting caught up in their feelings #not only in his hyperawareness of how people see him and subsequent stage-fright as a result #but also when he tries to steal jo's truck and literally can't because she told him she had a daughter and he doesn't want her to get fired #and when he drops his possessiveness over CRAYDL the literal instant he sees that Nathaniel cares about them as much as he does #or when he sees Jude at his lowest and can't stop himself from thinking ''been there'' #basically bart is an unbothered king and thad finds himself unwillingly empathizing with anyone who shows him a shred of vulnerability #an extremely interesting dynamic for a “heroic/villainous” pair #frequency fic

random AU that I can’t stop thinking about for some reason: you move into a house/apartment that’s haunted by your f/o (who is a ghost)

#rambles #self ship #selfshipping #imagine your f/o #rent is super cheap and you just think you got a great deal until weird things start happening…..dun dun dun #I love this AU cause it could go so many ways depending on your s/is personality and your f/os personality #like how do they haunt you…is it little harmless things or are they actually trying to scare you off #and how do you respond to it…do you just ignore it and go about your day or do you try to confront them #AND how long does it take for them to reveal themself to you…when are they brave enough to let you see and hear them #the possibilities are endless really #personally I love the trope of turning the shower on hot and communicating by drawing/writing in the foggy mirror #or asking yes or no questions and them turning the lights on for yes and off for no #something something learning to live together learning to love together something something you will never feel lonely again

bro can you imagine all of the massive shocks that reverse gabriel/hesperia is probably going to receive once he’s back in his universe??? like what if he finds out who griffe noire is (presumably after they reach an agreement that it would be helpful to know each other’s identities since they’re allies now) and then he has a whole existential crisis like ‘oh fuck i was so caught up in my fight against the supreme that i inadvertently neglected my son but also I’VE BEEN FIGHTING AGAINST MY SON THIS WHOLE TIME!! AND THE SUPREME DELIBERATELY SET HIM UP AGAINST ME!!!’ and then he wakes up in a cold sweat one night after remembering that monarch is probably an alternate version of him and chat noir is alternate version of griffe noire and Oh. Oh Fucking Shit.

#don’t even get me STARTED on how emodrien would respond to all this… all that agonising over your father’s failure to notice your pain #just to learn that he’s the man you’ve been trying to defeat? the man you swore you despised? how do you grapple with that? #miraculous ladybug #ml spoilers #ml paris special #ml paris spoilers #pfb talks
