I regretted wondering in the past if HoneyWorks had sunken a ship they initially sailed

“Invisibly, it looks like the crybaby was able to change”

It’s been weeks now, but I still can’t get over Crybaby Boyfriend and Hajimari no Sayonara lol. 

#honeyworks #Lenku #miku x len #can't believe I love them first in a break-up au lol #yes i'm still crying over this #vocaloids #like I know Len's happy there but- #I still feel sad for Miku #Idk if the arragement of pics makes sense lol #anyway I'm broken already without reading the novel yet #VOCALOID #hatsune miku #kagamine len #the links are actually the cover and subbed versions lol #Back to December is soo their song!! #which is currently playing as I type this HAHAHA

Buck showed an astronomical amount of growth in this episode, from his leadership skills (601) to his professionalism when delivering a baby (season 1) to his ability to separate himself and give the baby away to his real parents despite his own feelings (the entire donor arc). to say he hasn't shown any growth because he stayed in a relationship that, up until this point, and despite the audience being able to see thematic clues that it won't last in the long run, is very new and despite the one hiccup that got resolved with a genuine apology he has not had any reason to turn away from, is a disservice to his character and also just. unfair

#HES NOT GONNA SEE THAT SHES A DEATH DOULA AND BE LIKE. oooh this must be foreshadowing #she's nice and pretty and genuinely apologized. why should he give it a go?? the alternative is stay single which. #why would he if he likes her? even looking through a buddie lens at this point 1. either he knows he loves eddie or 2. he doesn't yet #option 1 its not like eddie's getting down on one knee rn and he's rejecting him what's he gonna do pine away while eddie calls marisol? #and option 2 he doesn't know he loves eddie he doesn't know that's an option so. nice pretty woman? why the fuck not #and frankly if this was the series finale I would have killed myself if everyone was happy and moving on and all buck got #was giving away the donor baby and learning to have peace in solitude fuck that put him with a shallow love interest #911 spoilers #911 fox #911 abc #evan buckley

having the hc that minato is ace is incredibly funny sometimes when you think about how ryoji is oh so very bi because it's like. "ah. death stole my ability to be attracted to people," in the same way that ryoji stole minato's eye color and energy level. like wow, thanks ryoji, you just keep finding things to steal from minato!

#persona 3 spoilers #minato arisato #hc and au nonsense #lizzy speaks #happy international asexuality day to my fellow aces out there i hope you know that you are loved!!! 🎊🎉�� #i like viewing minato with the lens of him being gay / ace. esp bc it stems from my own experiences so it's fun to look at- #him from that perspective even if that's not what was intended by atlus y'know? #and im sure others have other hcs from me that are informed by their own life experiences and i think that's great ^_^ #something that i found interesting while playing FES was how. stilted? minato's animations felt when hugging the girls #you could definitely go with the perspective that it's a graphical limitation or they didn't have time to polish the animations #and that's def true!! but sometimes i see the hug @ yakushima beach + the other hugs and then i compare it to the sou/yo hug in p4 #and there's like... a noticeable difference to me with how intimate and close together the hugs are... #that said i do know that the animations for reload are updated and the hugs are much more natural (good on them tbh!) #the other thing is (pensive sigh). the way you couldn't reject any of the girls when doing their social links in FES #objectively speaking i'm glad that they did away with that and i like how the rejections were handled in reload. it feels naturally written #but also a part of me enjoyed looking at the “hey atlus what the FUCK” moment and thought of how to interpret it differently #specifically with the idea of minato having like.. little to no autonomy and kind of going along with the relationship #it kind of reminded me of myself tbh with like going along with the rship without considering what you want bc #it's what others want or expect out of you... LOL. i dont think atlus intended for someone to interpret it this way but #eh i think that's the fun part of hcs and looking at characters with certain lenses! #regardless of how you perceive minato i do think there's something to be said about him being the kind of guy who molds himself- #into someone that is needed. not wanted. but needed. important distinction here. #the one caveat my brain runs into when im like “minato is ace!” is when i remember thanatos exists and i go #“you know what these ideas can exist simultaneously” GKLHFHDFHD when in doubt schrodinger's headcanons #anyway that's all i've had this thought in my brain in awhile and haven't sat down to share it properly until now 👍 #have an excellent weekend everyone !!! lizzy loves you all lets all nurture our inner yippee!!! 🥺💙

when it comes down to it, however much i think about eiffel's memory, whatever my reasoning might be, i think there's a much simpler core explanation for why i feel the way i do. i've said before that, if eiffel did regain his memory, i would want it to happen through 'an eiffel version of change of mind' i.e. a personal inner journey where the narrative he tells himself amounts to some greater reminder, self-confrontation, and self-realization. and that's just it:

eiffel regaining his memory wouldn't be a cop out to me for the same reason that lovelace not actually dying isn't a cop out: it's not just a story beat, it's a catalyst for character development & a better understanding of lovelace as a person. eiffel has spent his whole life trying not to be the person he is, and i just don't feel wolf 359 is the type of story to let him off the hook for that, when the ending is as much about accountability (to ourselves and to others and all the ways those responsibilities overlap) as it is about hope. i think there are ways you could argue that eiffel can still be eiffel without regaining his memory, but i think i've convinced myself that the symbolic resurrection / self-confrontation and acceptance of all the people he's been in the past, in order to move forward, is the more compelling option, especially for what it parallels, and the "eiffel is still eiffel" part is non-negotiable. it doesn't even feel like a question to me.

(and it makes the most sense to me in the context of eiffel's survivor's guilt - "of course i was fine. the driver's always fine." - and tendency towards a type of self-sacrifice and self-punishment that the show ultimately denies him / that doesn't address his real problem. he thinks sacrificing himself for the people he cares about will make up for something, but it won't. having him make that sacrifice and then keep living and keep being doug eiffel, with everything that means, feels like the natural extension of constructive criticism.)

in another story, or in a more theoretical context, there are all kinds of questions you could ask about whether eiffel's memory loss means he's a different person now, but in this case... i think it's better understood in narrative terms and what it represents for him as a character than any broader philosophical conclusion about the nature of the self and human consciousness. (and it is in no way as absolute as people sometimes behave like it is, considering he still has a concept of, like... everything. but that's a whole other topic of discussion.) most importantly, i just don't believe wolf 359 is a story about ideas as much as it is a story about people, these people, and in order to (hypothetically) continue to tell a story about doug eiffel, well. he has to still be doug eiffel. one way or another.

#wolf 359 #w359 #doug eiffel #this was supposed to be a short post just to get some thoughts out #i don't know if it'll even make sense to other people like it makes sense to me. #obviously i have plenty of other thoughts about this. which belong in more structured posts #but i will say i still believe the question 'am i still doug eiffel?' is answered by its context - #that he's already asked 'am i still that same person?' - a different question. the answer to which would be 'no' even before #and that 'am i still doug eiffel?' is the set up for 'wanna find out together?' #that's the actual question being asked. it's the answer to the previous question and what the show leaves you with #when asked about the show the writers talk a lot about their fondness for 'earned happy endings' in those words #so i can only see the finale and any post-canon hypothetical through that lens #it's not a tragedy so any option that would make it feel like one just doesn't resonate #and i will say it feels important to me that he regains his memory but equally important that it doesn't happen right away #like i'm sure of this from a narrative perspective but from an in-universe one it has to be something he grapples with #the fact that eiffel almost certainly doesn't want to still be eiffel is the exact reason why he has to be. #it's the same 'earned happy endings' principle in my mind

🥹😭🤧 Park Seong Hwa, the man that you are ❤️

How can one person have such beautiful words to say to people he hasn't even met yet and still be so genuine and caring towards? 😭🤧 they captioned the letter with the opening line of 'To everyone I love,' and i started bawling at that but then reading the actual thing I lost any sense of composure because he is so KIND MAN 😭

But seeing you cheering up after being comforted by me before, smiling brightly at trivial stories, wondering about my day, worrying about my well-being, and giving me love for no reason as if it was natural, ATINY, I will bring happiness to your life. I'm so happy that I can do it. Maybe my greatest gift is you.

READ THAT LINE AGAIN 😭 TELL ME YOURE NOT GETTING THE FLIPPING TISSUES OUT NOW 😭 My heart is so warm rn

#i love him so much 😭 #i cried before even reading the translation just cause of the caption and then i read it and im still in tears 😭😭😭😭 #he is a gift from above im so sure of it who shares such words full of the purest form of love just casually like this does he know how muc #he means to us 😭 if not then we need to work four times as hard to make sure he does because he is so precious man 😭❤️ he is so loved #happy birthday seonghwa 💝 #park seonghwa #ateez #the loml #also i just google lens-ed that translation so it has a very high chance of being innacurate!!! #read it with the tissues nearby 🤧😭

this is a funny as fuck dialogue option for when you're playing a dead-birth-parents-rogue who just so happens to be mixed. get gathened idiot.

#succ speaks #i just think it's funny that wotc constantly has NO idea how to handle half-elves from a mixed lens. #as much as i WOULD be happy that larian devs were there to say 'hey man people can be proud of their mixed heritage' #it's just funny as fuck to me that the first time i'm seeing this line is with mo fucking gathen. #the only funnier option is 3. this bitch is withering away there's nothing sexy about him unless u ask his actual party's paladin(s) #baldur's gate 3 kind of sucks especially early on but it's worth it to me to be funny while playing with friends who know this character #'hmm. i can't seem to recall what happened to elturel.' [finished the descent into avernus adventure path. was one of the adventurers.] #'the zhentarim? i think i've heard of them somewhere' [is a zhent ardragon with specialties in legal dealings and investigations] #the running joke is that he got mind flayer brain damage after a stat scramble and cannot find the right people for the life of him #this is so funny though. imagine i just became a small local hero and some nice girl i helped one time says she'll sing a song about me #and she's like 'what should i sing about' and i'm like. 'how about my mixed heritage.' LMFAOOOOO that's so out of pocket #like my friend is so curious and wants me to choose it because he wants to know what alfira's even going to DO with that like ????

love the kiddads bc i can project such weird niche shit onto all of them. anyway welcome to my ted talk on how sparrow is cannonically transfem but doesn’t ever really Come Out(tm) because she’s made a pro/con chart and it simply did not rank above her desire to conform and to mirror lark and to fix what she started in re: the doodler

#cw internalized transphobia #sort of??? #anyway i was closeted for years because i didn’t think the rewards outweighed the risks #and specifically because i was concerned about professional opportunities #and i just really feel like reading sparrow’s Whole Thing through the lens of a girlhood that never was and a womanhood that will never be #is just. Ough…. #THAT SAID I THINK SPARROW SHOULD INSTEAD BE HAPPY AND GENDERFUCKY AND SILLY AND I WILL ALWAYS MAKE HAPPY TRANSFEM SPARROW ART #but as far as canon like. i Fully believe that sparrow realized she was trans then sighed and put that on a shelf for later #dndads #yells into the void.txt #also tumblr user jayferins please know that i literally cannot he/him sparrow anymore bc of ur influence

not gonna lie the idea of an oc incarnation is extra appealing because, at least to me, 13-14-15 seem to have this tangible character continuation whereas 12 feels so isolated at times so I'd love to have a 13 that's a more direct continuation

But to loop back to the topic of 'voice', trying to think of actors that feel right seems borderline impossible

#;out of time. #like. I understand why 13 feels like such a reset. its a new era its a new showrunner its a new jumping on point #and props to russell for making 14 feel like SUCH a continuation of 13 #15 seems like he might have shades of 12 which makes me VERY happy but I digress #but I am also. endlessly fascinated in exploring regeneration through incarnations. like on a narrative level. you know??? #maybe the 'tism is 'tisming idk #but then its like. I am having such a hard time envisioning an incarnation that follows 12 through that lens #like an actor (or actress) I can look at and just go 'That's it. I can hear 'I am the Doctor' through their mouth' #like I can think of like one or two but idk if thats just recency bias at work so I'm just aaaaaaa #anyway Im gonna go play some games to reset the ol' brain I'm lurking tho

[ariaofsorrows]

can we cast a fat girl to play carrie white instead of another pretty skinny girl?

#while it would be interesting to have carrie through a trans lens i don’t think it’s any more relevant than carrie being fat #surely there must be a fat trans actress who can play her if we really want to keep the trans identity????? i don’t know? #i’ll be happy if hunter schafer gets the role. i guess. #i don’t know why we want to keep making remakes when the people behind it don’t want to make carrie look like how she is in the book #i don’t get it #sorry. i’m very normal about this one (1) stephen king book. sorry #the de palma movie already did a good job. you’re beating a dead horse ohm #omg

“Do you know how tiring it is to have to reforge a bond every single time I change hands? Maybe being the Gem of Intelligence means I have to deal with so many egotistical mongrels one after the other with no breaks in between, and maybe you’re the first to actually treat me like a person!”

Felt like doing something funky for the one year anniversary of @maldito-arbol ‘s fic Ill Be Your Best Friend, second in the Were Just Human series!

Ive done this comic before but i thought it would be fun to do it a second time to compare and its such a good scene overall so. Its crazy that its been a year, it both feels like too long and not long enough. Im so glad i decided to read this series it is so good the writing is amazing and the characters are all so complicated and interesting, and of course all the people I’ve met and become friends with because of it! so i just wanna say thanks Mal, for deciding to write this i guess, this fic has been amazing it was a wonderful thing to look forward to every second Friday and its crazy to think i could have easily never met you or anyone else in the server or not if it hadn’t been for this series. So thanks and i hope this comic shows even a bit of my appreciation for you and your fic

And to anyone who hasn’t read the series, you should!! I Love fic 1 Marcy’s unreliable narrator and her mumbling habit keeping me on my toes trying to keep track of everything. The girls’ powers and the introduction to the gems and everything that happens with that is just *chefs kiss* amazing, and don’t even get me Started on fic 3 i cant even say anything without spoiling! So if you haven’t read it, go read it! Its such a good series and the writing and characters are incredible and agh! And if you have read it, read it again i don’t care its so good i could re-read it endlessly

#i did not intent to get this sentimental in the post but! its fine we deserve it <3 #bestie you do not KNOW how hard it is rn to not vauge about this. its a secret its gonna be so cool #hhhaargh! im rlly happy with this comic actually. might put it in the server seprately also becausem #i dont know if tumblr is gonna rip the quality like its done in the post maker i can see every individual pixel its awful #seeing the improvement in my art and stuff from the last comic. that was only feb guys. its been 8 months and ive gotten So much better #so proud of myself besties frfr #i was so terrified i wouldnt get this done in time but i finished this morning i was So happy #im gonna schedule this for when i Think ibybf1 would have come out but i wasnt oaying super close attention to the when at that point #i just knew it was while i was at school and id get home and read the chapter. you see mal the reaidng in class didnt start till we talked<3 #feel free to male fun of me if i emd up getting this time wrong. also its gonna be so funny and nerver wracking if we get in vc #and yr reading when the time this is gonna post goes by. i cant wait to see ur reaction to this hehe #almost didnt do this considered doing it in feb for like a one year thing and make it for ibybf11 birthday but nah #len talked me into this im glad it did thanks bestie <3 #uhhhm yeah so. hope u like this. hope it makes you all go insane. some of the inconsistencies just Happened some were intentional #Tree Man Posts #duck art #ibybf #wjh #marcy wu #sentimentality #yes im adding that one what the FUCK happened in this post #i think that quote is a good one i already used the nickname one last time #i Could post now but where the fun in that #gonna break down sobbing if Mal’s at work when this posts

Rosa Murasaki joins the party!!

Heavily inspired by the Leaf design, Rosa is a 20something Pokémon trainer who is starting her journey 10+ years late! She's never had a Pokémon, never bought from a Mart, never even seen a Pokémon Gym before. Please look forward to following her adventures in:

Rosa's PokéJournal, first installment coming soon!!

#Pokémon #Pokémon OC #Rosa's PokéJournal #That's what I'll tag any post relating to this project so I can find it later :) #Basically I'm gonna play Leaf Green thru the lens of Rosa #And as things happen I'll journal about it from her perspective and have drawings of Pokémon and places #And my goal for this project is to get better at drawing Pokémon and better at sketching in general #As well as being a creative exercise :) #So I hope you look forward to it! It's a physical journal! #I'm either going to stream reading sections of it or simply post it on here and Twitter like page by page #And yes I know her legs are too long I drew this at a weird angle and didn't notice until I took a top down picture lmao #I think she looks very cute and tbh I'm really proud of myself for making a decent Pokémon person #Even tho I did use reference especially for the top half like very heavily I still hadn't done it before so I'm happy

#there's nothing wrong with WM the lore is fun but it's SO HARD #tbf I might have a better time with it now that I've spent so long on turn based in Deadfire and actually sortof kindof understand classes #but it's SO HARD #anyway I need to play it again because I'm having a thought about Ondra and cultural interpretations of the moon as a.... not!god? #and otherwise I have to pin it all on the Deadfire retcon and House of Wael (ugh no) #anyway I am having the cultural moon thoughts because I sat down this morning and just spontaneously finished a distinctly Aedyran myth #the first line of which I have been sitting on since 2015 because it was straight up one of the first things I wrote for/about the game #and it is very distinctly Aedyran but I don't know that I'm interested in retelling it from a different lens #I don't even know if I'm like.... happy with it #but!
