other fun thing i keep saying to my friends while watching doctor who is going 'you know i'm fascinated by the ten to eleven pipeline' (sometimes its nine to ten to eleven but yk how it is) because they know what i mean and i know what i mean but it really does sound like i've just discovered counting

#doctor who #dw #cleb talky #my friend made a button pin for me that says 'no.1 9 fan' and i love it #yeah i am a big fan of the number nine. good number. hours. persons. doors. doctors. lots of great nine things #i do have lots of genuine thoughts on a) the concept of regeneration in general and b) how each doctor relates to the others #but its so much more funny to talk as if ive just discovered numbers

I interpret Kaz's relationship with his dad a little differently from that one convo. He says something like 'he knew better than anyone that we didn't have the money' and I took that as his dad wanted him to go and have fun like a normal kid and not worry about the money. Of course, I don't justify physical discipline and it is abuse, even if the parent is well intentioned. I think that Kaz does love his dad and they're relationship might be more complicated. But you know that's just one of the many things he needs to work out in therapy.

(Again this is just my interpretation and I'm not saying yours is wrong. I do love the art.)

Just gonna use this as a little jumping point to talk about this bc why not, warnings for obviously sensitive topics

I dont think you're wrong, I actually probably agree, but one thing;

It's not uncommon for public perception to weigh more than actual actions or intent. In the example given, I see it like so; yeah, Souda sr. wanted his son to go on a field trip that they couldn't really afford. Yeah, Kaz wanted to help the household by not going on the trip and saving the money. Both have good intent here. It's not about that, though, because in Souda sr.'s eyes, refusing to go on the trip is like admitting that they're poor, which is like saying the father can't provide for his family, which is like public humiliation- in his eyes. In a fit of rage (and insecurity, if it's something that's already weighing on his mind, as these things often go) the assumption isnt that his son was trying to help, just that he did something that makes the father look bad. Which is a bigger trigger than most things, often, for patriarchal authority figures.

And it not an excuse for physical harm, no, nothing is. Probably, Souda sr. knows that, and didn't mean to snap- doesnt think he committed an act of child abuse- but he's been under a lot of stress, and his son was talking back, and, well.

I think they do usually get along alright, and Souda sr. does his best to provide for himself and his son and keep their relationship good, and Kazuichi is genuinely grateful for everything his dad's done for him? But in the end, it's another person Kazuichi trusted teaching him the lesson that people will let him down and hurt him, in some way at some point. If your parent whom you trust has made you genuinely afraid of them, it's hard to come back from it, and someone as anxious and emotionally sensitive as Kazuichi will hold onto that forever, probably, even as he might internalized some of it as his own fault.

It's a lot more complicated than just "bad father, sad son" (but again, not excusable, you don't hit your kids period). It's father and son who love each other and might be the only family they both have, but they clash horribly on occasion, make up (or don't talk about it at all), things die down, stay good for a while, then there's another clash- so it goes, even if the bad times are only occasional. The biggest Thing about these kind of relationships, to me, is that it's so easy to fall into a routine and let things stagnate, and before you know it, it's just How Things Are and it's easier to just deal than start rocking the boat.

#Not an art #Talky talky #Dysfunctional relationships and toxic family is always something I have Thoughts on #cw child abuse #This is also just me blabbing with little evidence so dont come for my throat ok I'm just pondering #I could talk about the kuzuryu family too I think there's a lot more context stuff there #But that's a diff post #I also hc that Kaz started thinking about the death machines before Junko #Not in a serious manner but as a malcontent kid who felt bitter and insecure and wanted to let it out somehow #Who hasnt fantasised about pushing someone down the stairs or sth right? That's where it started for him #Blah blah the 'anyone is capable of evil' theme #But also the 'that entire class was full of kids at risk and no one noticed or helped them and that sure didnt stop them from seeking- #-release and control and company from bad people who in turn affected them'

ok guys how do we think School Facilities would work in a furry universe. Separating stuff by species size would make sense in areas like medicine, because of equipment size and staff, but seems like it wouldn't be good to separate furs as they're growing up....

I think that furs as children would all be in the same classrooms no matter what... (This actually also serves a purpose in Cow Al's childhood narrative.) With extra precautions or steps taken to ensure safety if there's students with massive size differences.

But what about when they get older and the difference also grows in scale? I don't know how I feel about stuff like "big animals and small animals are separated" but also imagine being a mouse fur struggling to hear the professor over the bigger fur species in your special area in the same classroom...or like always needing 50 different table sizes for whatever configuration of species your students are gonna be this year

#yay furry society talk again its been years #talkys #ill put it in both the tags i use for this #sociolowogy #furversey #long post #big furs and small furs being separated makes me feel strange but also imagine never ever getting to have a class with #your crush in high school because she's a giraffe and youre a rabbit

Say what you want about Tumblr's latest changes, but I think currently the support for artists big and small is one of Tumblr's strongest features. Showing featured art on Desktop at the side, @/art as a whole featuring artists and reblogging art with few notes, the badge that displays whether or not your commissions are open. I think it's nice! I mean, I'm really biased when I say this as Tumblr Blog DonutDRAWSthings... but especially now that it's so hard to find good art sites and with art getting massively overshadowed on various platforms, I really appreciate Tumblr is making an effort to bring artists into the spotlight.

#been talking about the state of art and the way it's treated rn compared to the DA days with friends a lot #and like how frustrating and demotivating it is to have your art treated as something to consume and not appreciate #so like getting artists I've never heard of recommended to me through tumblr itself #idk. it's nice #i appreciate the effort #talkies #tumblr update #artists on tumblr

Question for the neurodivergents--I might go to a nightclub tomorrow, which I've never done before because I'm a nerd, and I'm a little worried about the sensory bits--Especially with everything being pretty loud lately since I began heavy unmasking. So long story short, do you have any recommendations/tips not to end up a ball on the floor?

#this is not a drill #i never thought id see the day #On one side I'm curious and I like to try things #on the other I'm somewhat anxious because Ive no idea what to expect #I've never been really interested in going to these places #and I might not like it at all really #but Im genuinely curious about what the big deal is #still #neurodivergent talky talk #not an art post #note says things #but maybe some of you guys have anything I ought to look for #On the other other hand I AM looking forward to the dancing bit #stimming publicly? yes please #watch me steal a spot and move for three hours straight #aasdfsdf #neurodivergent #autism #adhd #autism things #autistic feels #autistic things #autistic life #sensory issues #sensory #adhd feels

BREAKING CONTAINMENT WITH NEW PJSK AU IDEA:

Project Sekai x Persona 5

Are the SEKAI’s palaces? Are they part of Mementos? They can absolutely hear Morgana, for some reason (then again they talk to THE Hatsune Miku on a daily basis). The Wonderland and Empty SEKAI are the closest to Palaces— as they are made of one person’s feelings— but it doesn’t explain how they can directly go into them. Don’t even get the Thieves STARTED about how a group can make a “Palace.”

Also I think it’s funny to think the entire crossover starts because one time, while hanging out in Shibuya, Morgana got chased by Samo-chan. Minori rapidly apologizes, Morgana makes a snide comment, Minori reacts to the comment (and probably apologizes again), and then runs off. Everyone stops for a moment and goes “WAIT A SECOND…” but she’s already gone.

#rockie talkies #project sekai #persona 5 #i am mentally ill #I have NOBODY to talk about P5 *AND* Project Sekai with #morgana #p5 morgana #minori hanasato #is there a tag for samo-chan? #please please please let me talk to someone about this #I have so many ideas #project sekai colorful stage #hatsune miku colorful stage #pjsk au #persona 5 au #p5 au #project sekai au #pjsk x p5 #project sekai x persona 5

As someone who likes to focus on character design in my art and frequents a lot of character creation spaces because of it, I feel I can say with confidence (Most of) the characters in The Amazing Digital Circus have commonly-used-online design traits and sources of inspiration, which make their designs feel not too exciting and maybe a bit uninspired.

HOWEVER, What makes these guys more unique lays in their personality, voice acting and animation, which perfectly fits the narrative of the story (imagine being stuck in VRchat). And It's literally perfectly fine to like the designs as they are. Their character designs have good colour contrasts which balance nicely over the design, a good weight distribution, strong shape language AND have an overarching style that ties them all together while also distinctly being based on different things and looking like they all come from a different genre of entertainment. For what these characters are, they are DESIGNED REALLY WELL.

I feel the character with the most unique and self-contained (for lack of a better word for "visually not directly inspired by something") design by far is Pomni. Literally chef's kiss. I love her expressions, love her strong colour scheme and I love how her jester's hat is stylised to be sometimes almost completely straight at the top. Her flat hat together mixed with the straight-cut strands of hair peeking out from under it are such a good and subtle contrast to her other round features that I'd dare to say they reflect her seriousness through the forced silly get-up put onto her by this digital prison. And her whole clown outfit is a really good contrast to the genuine dread and existential horror she's feeling in general. I can't get enough of it. Her design is perfect for her role in the story and also as introduction to the world we as the audience are new to.

That's why I'm honestly absolutely appalled by the amount of bad faith and horrible posts I've seen towards this project as a whole. It's one thing to not like it, but a totally whole other thing to actively make it (and the fans) out to be the worst most offensive creation to have ever touched the eyes of mortal men. It's not. And remember, people can be trolls to make a fandom look worse.

Online we have a fondness for kidcore and weirdcore aesthetics based on vague familiarity and nostalgia. It's OKAY to like a story/characters INSPIRED by these things. You are allowed to indulge on your own interests. Don't take these mean spirited posts to heart. If they don't respect your positive opinions of the show, you don't have to respect their negative opinions of it either.

#honestly the lot of these people sound like my parents telling me how bad everything I liked as a kid is bc they had it better #and ykw maybe they did. but I like the things I like anyways and I'll always hold a fondness for it because it was MY youth #I refuse to be that person for the generations after mine. #and honestly lately i've just seen a trend of mean posts scaring away interest from a topic in general... which is so sad :o( #don't let these posts scare you into disliking something you enjoy #long post #talkies #the amazing digital circus #tadc #tadc pomni #tadc jax #gooseworx #digital circus #character design #ramble #character design analysis #because i'm a nerd for character design #sorry but i had to talk about it since i'm seeing people say the designs are bad. which they aren't. #so I thought with my knowledge on character design i'd give my insight #design

i like the natsume dub, but i'm glad i watched it with subs first. for one thing, the japanese voice acting simply cannot be beat. for another, the dub translates nicknames into english - for instance, the little tatsumi that hatches from an egg, turning natsume into a teen dad, is called "eggy" in the dub instead of "tama" (which unless i'm mistaken is a shortened form of the japanese word for "egg") - which isn't a bad thing, but it does end up creating the possibility of a little misunderstanding once you get to taki's first episode. because if you couldn't hear the japanese, and you were accustomed to characters getting jokey english nicknames like eggy, and you heard that a character who hadn't talked for almost a year was named something that sounded phonetically like "talkie", would you assume that she had a completely different name in japanese that was a pun on the japanese word for "talk"? because that's probably what i would have assumed lol. but luckily i watched it in japanese with subs first, so. crisis averted!

#natsume VO: everybody talks‚ but for nearly an entire year‚ that 'talkie' girl tried not to. <-what it sounds like he's saying in the dub #you can practically hear the air quotes #especially because when it's her first episode you have no idea that she's about to become a recurring character #she could be another one-off guest character natsume meets once and maybe encounters a second time three seasons later #as opposed to his new best friend. you don't know that in her first episode #so given that this could be her only appearance...it wouldn't be that crazy for her to have some novelty name For The Lulz #like i probably would've watched the whole show thinking ah yes here is Natsume & his friends Tanuma Nishimura Kitamoto and Talkie #i would have come on here and made a total fool of myself spelling her name like that #people would have been like tf are you talking about dude #i'd be like you know‚ the girl with the spell circles? #and they would have been like DO YOU MEAN TAKI????? #i would have had to retire. never show my face here again. #natsume's book of friends #translation #names #puns #my posts #natsume yuujinchou #taki tooru #watch me write this whole thing about how the dub makes it possible for you to think her name is a pun when it obviously isn't #and then have a japanese speaker come on here like 'actually 'taki' IS a pun in japanese. the dub perfectly translated this joke' #that would be so funny. what if
