terror codependency chart

#🐉#you may question why goodsir is so high up in the decapitation zone. well thats because what he did with that monkey #convinced me that hes the kind of freak whod keep bits of a dead loved one in a jar and think it romantic.#as for the rest some of them were easy (jopson. hickey.) and others were a nightmare #especially jfj and silna who i decided is only less codependent than some people here by necessity #anyway. apologies if your favorite cold boy isnt on here but i couldnt squeeze all 129+ guys in so i had to be selective.#the terror

Bruce Springsteen's eighth album TUNNEL OF LOVE as Penguin Classics (series): Tobias Verhaecht / Kerry James Marshall / Botticelli / Jusepe de Ribera / Caravaggio / Andrew Wyeth / Raphael / Essam Marouf / Rene Magritte / Raymond Bonilla / Theodore Gericault / Soren Martinsen

#bruce springsteen #this album was so hard because that kerry james marshall painting is PERFECT for tougher than the rest #like im obsessed with it its just right... something about the eye contact over the shoulder #but its such a different style it was like impossible to make the whole set balance well #i think i found ones with similar colors to make the stylistic changes less jarring but it was tricky #also wondered: am i overusing the mary imagery? then i was like no this is bruce springsteen #anyway too complicated. too much thought for something this silly but whatever i love to have fun!#blues and oranges. applause #tunnel of love #music edits #bruce springsteen penguin classics #penguin classics edits

so like did faron put those big fish bulls that want to kill you on sight all over the flooded faron woods with a Purpose or was it specifically to fuck with link. where did they come from

#faron: im flooding the forest to get rid of monsters.#the parella: ma'am there's big fucking fish that are really angry all over the forest. they're technically monsters. what do we do #faron: eh let them chill. maybe they'll annoy link when he gets here and make me laugh when he gets pissed #i think they should have been somewhere in lake floria or even in the sea sand to make it less jarring #i just think it's funny she flooded the place specifically to get rid of all the monsters and yet. more monsters replaced them.#net zero monster population increase #Skyward sword spoilers #?? ig #tortilla rambles

These were made experimenting in CSP for the first time. Lawlight bullshit. Per usual.

#light yagami #death note #l lawliet #lawlight #death note fanart #my art #lights kind of creepy wobbly smile here is intentional #his smile when he lets his guard down is much less than perfect #I think others told him he smiled too wide and in an unusual way and that his laugh was too loud and jarring #and so all of the smiles we see are practiced #except like his insane laughing in the finale obviously #he laughs like that when hes told a joke at five years old and gets stared at by his entire 1st grade student body

I. Hurt.

And I was hurting anyway, I'm pretty down this morning, but this hurt came from an outside source, and affected me in a way I'd honestly not have expected.

See, we bought Nimona last week. After seeing the movie, my kids wanted to read it. And I ended up reading ahead, and I just finished it.

Bonus content at the end, it said, and I was like, oh, an epilogue to the epilogue maybe? That'd be nice. I don't love bittersweet endings, I'd rather...

...no, it's not the conclusion.

It's CHRISTMAS.

In a book that'd had no religion that I noticed up to that point, BOTH bonus extras...were Christmas.

Ya know, usually it doesn't bother me. Usually I just suck it up. I think it helps that I was raised around mostly Jews and people who, if Christian, it didn't matter much to them. I'm from the Upper West Side of Manhattan, the descendent of Lower East Side immigrants, and while the world outside was brutal - my grandfather was a World War 2 veteran and among the soldiers who liberated Dachau, I can't remember a time when I didn't know that most people would look the other way if people like me were slaughtered wholesale - my bubble was safe, we were accepted, we were insiders.

I honestly can't think of another time I've interacted with a piece of media and felt so immediately, instantly knocked across the face by OUTSIDER as I just did when I excitedly turned the page to see what these fun extra bonuses were...and it was fucking Christmas.

I didn't even read them.

I'm honestly. So disappointed.

I don't have a thick armor for this kind of hurt. I'm Jewish, and as an adult living outside my old UWS bubble, that's often meant I've felt like an outlier, but I've hardly ever had this feeling where I was welcome to something only to be suddenly, violently shoved out the door.

And I've heard nothing, n.o.t.h.i.n.g. but praise for this book. And on another day, it might not have bothered me. I've never really felt like I had to fight to be seen, especially since I'm tremendously secular. I mean, I've celebrated Christmas my entire life, for starters.

But why. Why was this fantasy setting suddenly Christian? Why was this the touted extra content? Why is THIS special, when the areligious world established to that point was apparently not special enough?

I can't say yet if this ruined the story for me. It's far too soon. But I'm *intensely*, viscerally let down, and...I hurt.

Christians...maybe stop doing this shit.

#unforth rambles #im not sure how to tag this #i dont want to tag fandom since its kinda anti #and i dont want to tag antisemitism cause its not really #and i dont want to tag microaggressions cause thatll just show my privilege that ive been lucky enough to not have this feeling more often #but seriously WHAT THE FUCK #im genuinely considering rereading just so i can see if it was always christian and i just missed it until then #because its so fucking ubiquitous that it slides right off #but i dont think it was!!!#WHYS IT GOTTA BE CHRISTIAN WHAT THE HELL #and why have i never heard this mentioned surely im not the only person to notice this #maybe it was less jarring for people who rwad along with the webcomic #since these were extras released along thw qay #not shoved in the back of the book like in the print edition #i dont fucking know #i just know i hate it #this special fun thing could have been anything #and instead it was for one specific segment of the audience #and thats honestly so unnecessary and kinda yicky #dont you guys every get tired of making everything about your fucking dumb holidays you stole from other cultures #give me back passover i demand you turn over easter as a reparation

Genuinely don’t mean this as a complaint about anyone doing this individually but I do kind of wish various dunmeshi characters (mostly but not exclusively Laios) weren’t referred to as “freaks” as often as they are online.

IK it’s mostly meant in a fond way but it still feels kinda judgemental/distancing sometimes and I’m simply not interested in acting like I’m not a big fan of all the weird things going on in dunmeshi. I want to embrace it and enjoy it, not pretend like it’s something I’m observing at arm’s length. I’m sorry gamers but the truth is I’m not shaking my head with a fond but bemused expression on my face every time Laios gets intense about some monster thing. I’m hooting & hollering. I think he should be even weirder about it, actually. Okay maybe not that but hopefully you get my point.

#also freak as a term of affection just generally doesn’t particularly work *for me personally* and sometimes it’s a bit jarring #to see it used in reference to something I wrote about the charas. I dunno #I think I have a chronic sincerity problem when it comes to Posting on the Internet tho I’m sure it’s not that deep #but it’s still how I feel & I do wish it was a haiiir less common #ah well. such is life

okay i’ve been supportive of a lot of changes the pjo tv series has made but i do think the opening scene in crusty’s felt… off?

like i think them being self aware when it comes to medusa or the lotus flowers makes a lot of sense, but polycrustes feels a little more obscure. so them going in unaware and being tricked makes sense there! and i think they still could have played it with making crusty’s the entrance to the underworld

they go in, not really sure why the entrance to the underworld is in a water bed store (also on that note, do we know where they learn that?), but on edge bc like. it can’t just be that easy. n then them nearly getting tricked and crusty revealing who he is then is just more satisfying

#alli says shit #pjo spoilers #percy jackson #to me it also feels like they wanted to include that scene but couldn’t give it enough time so they took a speedy approach #but it just turns out a lot less satisfying #like it felt. jarring idk #i like the conversation percy n crusty have #but him coming in there and being like. I Know Who You Are #just felt really weird?#i wouldn’t get rid of it i’d just restructure it #i also do think it’s clever to put a murderer of travelers in charge of the entrance to the underworld like #idk i just think it’s funny

I think modern au Zhu SHOULD be the lesbian best friend trope to Ouyang except that its because this man is her pet project and gODDDAMIT she's gonna FIX him she's gonna MAKE him be BETTER she's going to SOLVE EVERYTHING and he will RESPECT HER (she is actively making him worse). She has a whole complex about it and everything. She has based a part of her identity on dragging this man up from his toxic funk and is fully convinced that if she tries hard enough he will eventually come to his senses and be an equal participant in this relationship. They have a terrible wonderful toxic loving codependent relationship that's neither a romance nor a friendship nor a rivalry but a secret fourth thing.

Predictably, this does not go well. The character arcs would be Zhu learning she can't fix a sinking ship and letting Ouyang fail by himself, and Ouyang learning to not be a shit person, actually, and coming out of his bubble of self-centeredness and working on himself instead of unloading his emotional labor onto the people around him. And they should both get to develop a healthier relationship with each other than what they had in canon bc queer solidarity is great and its even better when it's in the shape of some weird bullshit some gay people built out of the corpse parts of heteronormative romance (affectionate and completely unironic)

#brought to you by me thinking about the last half of HWDtW and how Zhu interacts with Ouyang post-betrayal #well. interacts with the concept of Ouyang. he kinda (spoilers).#she was unhealthily attached to Ouyang and honestly I think she deserves an universe where her whole deal is reciprocated.#but only AFTER i put them in a fully self sustaining terrarium jar and sic the emotional isopods on them.#that part comes first bc my personal entertainment is CLEARLY the most important thing here guys #the radiant emperor #my thoughts #zhu yuanzhang #OHHH AND ALSO i think Zhu and Ouyang should get to have their weird little gay relationship #while their partners stare in accepting horror.#ma would be supportive bc she knows how important this impressively awful man is to her girlfriend #but rest assured she DOES NOT like him. she will (very politely) bitch about him to Baoxiang and then feel bad about it #she shouldn't feel bad tho bc Ouyang deserves it and Baoxiang repeatedly reminds her of this fact #eventually ouyang grows on her.#kinda like the bowl of mold in the back of the fridge you've developed an emotional attachment to.#he shouldn't be there but now she feels bad about evicting him into the trash!#(she feels significantly less bad about evicting him into Esen's appartment)#Esen has even less of a clue what's happening with Zhu and Ouyang.#he just knows that Zhu is important to Ouyang and also is 90% sure that they fucked at some point.#30% sure that they are still fucking but he grew up around Baoxiang and Ouyang #he has learned Not to Ask! he does Not Want to Know!#and anyways it's none of his bussiness who his bestie/person that he wants to adopt a horse and grow old with/hot roomate is fucking!#its not his problem! he is not invested! he is not going to think about it! there is no reason to think about whos in Ouyang's pants!#he is not thinking about anything involving Ouyang's pants at all! much less about the inside of Ouyang's pants!#and since hes not thinking about it bc theres no reason to think about it then he cant have a problem with it :)#so he wont ask!

I finally reached the first Wheel of Time book co-written by Brandon Sanderson, and maybe I'm crazy but it feels extremely obvious which parts were predominantly written by each author.

Also I got to the first Mat chapter and it feels like Brando Sando doesn't get his character at all.

#that said i think the audiobooks having the same narrators helps smooth out the transition #it feels less jarring when the characters all have the same voices #I'll wait and see how the rest of the book goes but so far Sanderson isn't doing a terrible job #wheel of time #books

J.L. Laynesmith taking the 'Buckingham Did It™' route for the murder of the Princes in the Tower AND the rumors of Edward IV's bastardy ... I have to laugh

#my post #history media #this was in her book 'Cecily Duchess of York' which I have ... Thoughts on #I really liked it overall - it was meticulously researched and gave me information that I hadn't previously known about Cecily #However this often contrasts with Laynesmith's own very evident biases assumptions and conjecture #and the effect is very jarring #This becomes slightly more pronounced after 1464 and actually ridiculous after 1483.#She also suggests that Henry VI may have genuinely died of a melancholy-induced stroke like Edward IV claimed which is just...lmfao #I don't know what to say at this point lol #To be fair she does specifically note that he died shortly after Edward arrived in London and that most contemporaries believed #it was far too convenient #which is far more acknowledgement and culpability than she gives Richard III whose culpability for the 'disappearance' of his nephews is #literally never touched upon - the blame is conveniently dumped on Buckingham #honestly the whole Deal with Buckingham is so odd. dude was a political neophyte; was given a primarily ceremonial role by Edward IV #throughout his reign and was younger than Richard (who was a seasoned politician). What makes you think Buckingham of all people #was some kind of political genius and making decisions over RICHARD of all people lol?#anyway #This book was pretty decent with Margaret of Anjou which was great #it was less decent with Elizabeth Woodville which was not so great :/#some of the assumptions it made (for Cecily's benefit naturally) were so weird #and the way she 'reassessed' Elizabeth's role in 1483 was very distasteful #I might make a separate post on that because it was very annoying #(also claiming Henry Tudor landed with 'a small band of Lancastrian exiles' - yeah no. the majority of the 'exiles' who supported him were #Yorkist aka Edward IV's supporters who opposed Richard. because this was very much an internal civil war between the dynasty #and Henry became a claimant only after being chosen by Yorkists after the October risings made clear the Princes were dead #the claim that challenged Richard's was Elizabeth of York not Henry's. let's not twist words here)#(ALSO I'm sorry but William Stanley certainly did not choose to commit his troops to Henry Tudor because Henry was 'his brother's stepson'#he did that out of loyalty to Edward IV and his children as Henry was the chosen claimant of the Yorkist faction #hence why he may have betrayed Henry VII in the 1490s for Perkin Warbeck who pretended to be Edward's second son. so jot that down)#you really see these small minor details which are very much chosen purposefully and paint a very different picture lol

I don't like to follow bookstagram trends but I find one super interesting (it's definitely NOT reading a popular bookstagram book).

I'm currently working on creating a box to randomly pick the next book I read. I have hopes to lower my tbr, well with my erratic reading sessions and me ordering second hand books cause I can buy more, it's gonna be a harsh task. Also it's gonna helping me read the books I bought to step out my comfort zone and then I ignored them. But also books that are in my comfort zone but have been here for year. And since my apartment is very small, yet 1/3 books if I avoid the same book lot of time, I will get rid of it.

BUT

While crafting this at past 10pm in the middle of the working week cause I needed to do it now (didn't finish considering the numbers of unread books I read), I have been struck by a sudden illumination.

Maybe, and really maybe, it's a hypothesis, I could apply the jar stuff for the daily stuff I have to do, chores, administrative paperwork, everything a normal human adult has to do. Maybe I could pick a task to do every day and it feels less overwhelming. I definitely need to try it.
