this whole thing being abt rage is also really interesting. I feel like it comes up so much in fiction as a motive because it's the one emotion that's unifyingly restless while everything else can be petrifying, and just personally nothing hits like impotent rage for me, esp. with teen characters, esp. with characters whose rage is stoked by Someone Else to further that Someone Else's cause. like you'll have done all that in a bout of passion and when you're done you look around you and nothing has changed. those sentiments don't get quelled by being satisfied. righteousness withdrawal is a horrible thing to intentionally drag someone into, least of all just some kids.

Ace culture is hearing about how the Bee Movie is about a human and a bee being in a relationship, and wondering if that is just people just romanticizing the male and female leads (as people do,) or if there is actual legitimacy to what they’re saying (because it does not sound like they are joking.)
(I’m also not going to rewatch the bee movie to find out because what if what they say is true? I don’t want to know.)

this is going to be pure word vomit, but wow. okafor being as important to the entire story of the ones who live despite dying in the first episode was insane and incredible writing. the parallel between him and rick coming full circle at the end, with rick remembering the last thing okafor said before dying and not letting beale manipulate him at the echelon meeting. okafor retroactively being revealed to have never "died" as rick never really did, deep down, because he warned rick about the sword. the ONLY time he snapped was when rick insisted he had nothing, because he didn't have nothing. he always kept his wife's sacrifice in mind, just as rick always kept michonne in mind, even after he chose to "die," because he did this not being able to escape, but he could at least still build a better future for michonne and their children. rick switching sides, just like okafor did, and destroying the CRM's army to save everyone else. the story about rick's father and the burning crops...and okafor being someone who was someone who was researching and growing crops, whereas beale was stealing resources from other communities and destroying them. like okafor knew the CRM had to be destroyed so something new could grow, and he genuinely had a plan to do that and saw a future where more could grow, but beale only ever saw destruction in the future and used violence so that his own community could grow. beale telling rick that both the walkers and them are dead, whereas okafor told rick that all people are his people, everyone alive. beale had spies in other communities to help keep him informed and to help destroy those communities, whereas okafor trusted rick and told him the truth plainly, despite this going against beale's aims and potentially endangering his life, and rick finding his strength in trusting michonne, and lack of trust being what undoes thorne and jadis.
i'm just. wow. donald okafor the perfect morally grey character that you are ....

i love sincerely love working with dungeon meshi's magic system and the way mana sickness is depicted, like it has the breadth and scope for some truly powerful and wacky fun shit, but you can also easily bring down the hammer when you want to put the characters in difficult situations they can't get out of without a little creativity. i found when writing for baldur's gate 3 that, unless i was in a modified setting, i was hard-pressed thinking up fun ways for characters to solve their problems without just using magic, especially for the small things. i mean, what fun is throwing a character into a river and needing to warm them up when you can just cast prestidigitation?? it's one of the first things a novice can learn and also it's a cantrip, it literally costs nothing!

ppl, especially low/no-empathy ppl, who talk to ableist anti-pd cluster b abuse believers with the upmost patience & understanding are so crazy (/pos) for that because what
how do y'all sit there and level w/ them just. so much.
i know it's kind of necessary bcs even if they don't listen to us anyways, they're only gonna think we're 10× worse if we don't walk them through the spiel w/ hands held (which we're not even owed to do anyways) but like i can hardly see myself doing it
so like
respect

All these posts about Ganondorf in totk but not one agreeing with me that the best possible thing would actually be if this is the Ganondorf from fsa and not oot, because it'd be the funniest way to remind people that there was actually more than one and also then he would be truly unprepared for this Link and Zelda combo

I did it. I made little dick-shaped clips/name card displays, and I have zero regrets. I am having a really hard laugh about it though :D They stand up completely by themselves HAHAAH WIN
Dique Clips... cuz we're fancy :)
On sale, you say? $5, you say? And other sparkly things in the shop as well? Cheap gorgeous gifts? WAT??
Well then!
Soft re-opening/re-branding of my ko-fi shop to better encompass the range of my crazy mind :D What Is That? Art Studios :) Everything is on sale, I include a little goody bag with every order, and my packaging is pretty and discreet :)
I have an instagram too with resin-mold reveals and vids of stuff :) Resin is really hard to photograph the shine and sparkle but the videos show it all quite well :D
Holidays are coming folks >_> I have stuff that's not dicks and stuff too haha pretty goddess busts and coasters and pendants and what have you :) I still have many items to list (including some bigfoot and jackalope stuff, but i'm waiting for the epoxy to finish its curing time) but check it out :D

I think tater is just realizing because of peebs how good she had it with Sushi. Hence the cuddling. “Oh shes fjcking crazy. I guess she isn’t so bad”
No I think that's literally exactly what's going on lmao
Tater: god I hate Sushi I am barely tolerating her because dad says I must but also she cannot be touching me or interacting with me in any way or I will bat screech at her 🤬🤬🤬
Phoebe: hi
Tater: holy shit Sushi is a godsend I will play with and cuddle with and positively interact with Sushi because she's leagues better than whatever the hell dad's brought home this time, who I must now bat screech at whenever she so much as looks in my direction
