Hey reshaper, whats one hill you will die on? (hot take)

"Height is a choice. And no, I don't take arguments."

overstimulation for snow or reshaper!

"Falls into similar opinion as edging for me. Although, I admit to enjoying being on either end of it quite a bit. I am... happy to over-perform."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Not against it I suppose, but I much prefer something like multiple hits of ecstasy than prolonging the one, if you will-- at least for myself."

"If that's what my partner is looking for though, well, I suppose I can make exceptions if they're having a good time."

#you get both! cause i felt like it :] #letting them reply with their opinions but you get the extra deets in the tags #snow could handle being overstimulated longer than reshaper could but tbh id say they're pretty equally good at overstimming a partner well #reshaper speaks #snow speaks #afallatmak #ty lin <3

‘Philip never could have changed and that’s why he’s tragic’ no!!!! Philip absolutely could have changed, that’s why he’s tragic! this man spent 400 years marinating in the culture and experience and people of the place that he was going to commit genocide in and he never once allowed himself to even consider the possibility that everything he was doing was wrong. he had all the time in the world and chose not to.

#yes he's perpetuating the way he was raised but he chose that!!! everything after Caleb's death was his own decision #to work his way up the ladder of power to revamp the entire magic system so that everyone is weakened and put into a box and to reshape the #entire society around an extremely puritan-looking way of things #he CHOSE that life. #he lived there for CENTURIES. he met thousands of witches and demons and considered every last one inherently irredeemable #philip could have changed. saying he couldn't is giving into the way he frames the world. he had a choice to do the things that he did #and he eventually paid for them. #anyway. sorry for the rant #everything's Fine #toh #the owl house #philip wittebane #emperor belos #smokey speaks

So we all just be consumed by religious undertones huh? We all got a lil bit of trauma from the church don’t we folks

I am merely fascinated by religion and cults. I love religious imagery because it's so dearly human. No other animal worships. No other animal seeks meaning in the meaningless. No other animal looks up at the stars and imagines something looking back at them.

I also have a mild obsession with Dante's Inferno.

#ghoul speaks #it's not religious trauma for me #so much as it is obsession with the idea of the divine #and the idea of worship #is that not fascinating to anyone else #a love so great and vast that it literally reshapes your mind? #alters your reality?

i have never felt so empty i look back at pictures of who i was a year ago and i'm frankly just disgusted at how i didn't know who i was but i also still don't know who i am now. i'm gonna be 25 this year when will the constant need for reinvention end. i feel like such a phony. i don't have any actual skills or personality, i just reflect back what i think is cool or interesting. i read a lot of books and i act like i know a lot of things but i'm just pretentious and have a compulsive lying problem. when will i know what i want and where i belong.

#it also does not help that i have never gotten over my first love and it's been three years this june that we broke up #i feel like i needed to reshape myself to be something that he wanted #and i know that i'm never going to see him or speak to him again #but i can't let go bc one of us has to hold on #otherwise it didn't mean anything #anyways. i'm just really depressed and wouldn't mind if i just dropped dead right now #i've seen enough and had enough disappointment to last me an entire lifetime

Something radioactive has come over me and i need to ramble on about ii writing. spoilers ahead for the recent episode leaks btw

Something that has always been a little strange about inanimate insanity’s more emotionally driven conflicts and scenes is that they often build on some sort of implied “statement” that falls flat, usually because its a very strange “statement” to stand by, but the conceit of the conflict/scene relies entirely on the audience already understanding and agreeing with the “statement”; this is tricky to word so my example will be a small detail in the scene between balloon.oj (and later balloon.suitcase) from s2. 

It isn’t bad enough here that you don’t understand where the scene is aiming, but if you take it as is and don’t read into the writer’s intent, it is strange that a written or planned apology is considered faux (it would make sense if the apology was manufactured to be what oj wanted to hear or something, but iirc the only thing mentioned in the ep itself was just that it was written). Its just a little “statement” that makes a scene intended to be emotionally investing into something a smidge confusing. (I would’ve used the scene between knife.suitcase later on as my example but i’m not even sure what the intent was there haha but you understand my angle here)

This has actually not been more prevalent than through how the show intends to present cabby in s3, where i suppose the “statement” is that a person can never be accurately described through written observation, or a list of traits. (what is with this show and thinking if its written its lesser? anyway.) The obvious issue with this statement is that its just kind of incorrect, or at least that its incomplete, and the way its shown in the narrative is baffling and leads to a very weird reception of cabby. The audience is meant to think that, despite what “motives” she might have, what cabby does is unjustifiable in the end (which is a conclusion that depends solely on the audience agreeing with the “statement”). It is VERY much of note that her “motives” being that her files are a disability aid pulls this situation from wobbly writing to actively harmful, and it makes it that much worse that we are supposed to think this isn’t justification for her doing something that, even without this purpose, really isn’t all that damning on its own.

What got me started on this was something from some of the recent ep leaks, and i’ll go on about that here i suppose. There is a dialogue exchange between bot and cabby that truly stumped me in terms of how far it went to twist cabby’s words to make her look insensitive or unaware, and them using a fan favorite to do so doesn’t help. Essentially, after very weirdly calling bot a “perfect replica” of bow, cabby says something to the effect of “These notes i took on you, thinking i was researching bow, are not applicable because you are not bow. I would like it if you told me about yourself so i can correct my previous view of you”, to which bot says in an aside, “As usual, she doesn’t want the person i am, she just wants facts”. It was so strange to me that the writing is so hellbent on vilifying cabby’s files that it needed bot to skip over the part where their identity was invalidated so that they could take issue with a line of dialogue from cabby that actually recognizes them for who they are and not who they were forced to be previously. This “statement” is a weird hill to die on despite the amount of ableism that comes from it, is basically my thesis.

#Will clarify i think there are many possibilities for making the files a point of conflict in tthe show #but the show as is takes issue with it as a concept and thats it #ii spoilers #oscriticisms #also yeah i know the ep isnt out yet and if theres further context that would somehow reshape that exchange ill accept it no problem #but theres a pattern here that makes me doubt this so im speaking anyway #ii neg

O_O star trek loves just casually dropping the most ominous false history. "not unlike the nuclear winters of the 21st century" wdym by that? we just don't get any more context for tht?

#like yes i know its a product of cold war fears but im still surprised they thought #humanity surviving a nuclear apocalypse was more likely than a nuclear apocalypse just. Not happening... #like Okay reshaping my whole perspective on star trek earth. that thangs a fucking post apocalyptic utopia then? damn #it speaks! #st

Oh no. I'm crying over Arien Tillion and Earendil tonight. Oh No. NO. NOOAAAAAAA

#gil estel speaks #its the Doom that lays upon them... #i usually take a fairly light view of their jobs (Not Great but they get off hours!) but take that away and... #and i legitimately think that the valar tried to figure out how to get them free of it but it was too late #like after the reshaping of the world things are kind of locked in? #i don't think it's all bad which is just about the only thing preventing this from Outright LV 100 Horror & Tragedy #they still manage off hours & tillion has his sis take over on bloodmoons & elwing can visit earendil & arien has ilmare #and they all LOVE their job but like. #idk. it really hit me tonight.

Reshaper, if you could- no questions asked and no danger attached-become unquestionable emperor of alternia rn, would you do it?

"It's quite a tempting offer now, isn't it? I would make for an awe-inspiring emperor if I say so myself. I am exceptionally capable with control over others, as well."

"But no, I wouldn't. I already do as I please, I've had a taste for all sorts of control and responsibility, but I believe I'd rather not have to be accountable for anything more than myself."

"Yes, I may morph things into a less violent society and the Alternian Empire would only be better under a rule like mine, but my freedom is worth more than that."

reshaper could u shapeshift a second dick if you tried be honest

"Hoping to have me ruin you twice over, are we Columba?"

"That would be effortless for me, yes. Whatever I wish to have or desire to look like is achievable should I desire it."

Actively beginning to catch myself going down thought spirals and this has to be a good sign actually

#looking through my sketchbook and realizing ive had it for at least 2 or so years now #and am surprised by how much space is on the pages and how little i seem to have really drawn.. #and I'm wondering if I'm putting too much stock and faith in the vehicle; especially now that the path to getting one #is a bit more protracted as i continue shopping around #i just suddenly feel so tired and had intended to draw but felt the motivation drain from me #it *is* past 9pm where i am so it could also just be that time of night as well but #I'm noticing I'm letting the potential vehicle do a lot of guiding here and you know. could be freeing to accept it as it comes #it was definitely a letdown to not get the one i test drove (too expensive) and to not have a car after expecting to have one #and being excited at the prospect of everything becoming easier; and it's definitely a feeling I'm allowed to have #but it's like. idk. i wanna reshape how I'm thinking about this i guess? #and trying to drive away the way i feel burnt out from work every other week but that's for another day. 8 hours is too damn long #shai speaks

the urge to chop all my hair off in an undercut again because the first 2-3 weeks of 'holy shit I love this' vs the absolute hell that maintenance was and my part was never as sharp as I wanted

#micky speaks #it was literally the most me I've ever felt with a haircut #but the first time the stylist fucking feathered my hair over the part so it wasn't sharp #and she'd always re-feather/texture the hair when I went back for a reshaping! #like I can do the basic trim of the undercut at home #it'd take practice but I could do it #but I also love chaning up my hairstyle every couple haircuts and I couldn #couldn't do that if I had an undercut #sighs #decisions are hard
