#toga and the league are the dearest thing to me and i hate how it’s just words now #love togachako but also fuck all that shit ! she couldn’t live the way she wanted so she decided to have control on her death at least #dying the way she wanted. do you have any idea how dark and fucked up that. sacrificing herself for the only person who ever accepted her #because the world never did. i wanted so much better for her #except for the league who accepted her ofc but as i said they suddenly matter very little ? :/ #like she was supposed to live for herself and for jin not do the same exact thing he did #i hope this isn’t the end but i also hope h*wks isn’t involved in giving her his blood n shit #they need to talk it’s about fckn time actually but he needs to stay 20 ft away from her #he can learn from his hero enji and from ochako NOT sacrifice himself or give blood and call it day. live and learn and atone and practice #self reflection for once #and toga’s FRIENDS can give her their blood. oh that would mean so much for her !! #anyways yeah i’m pointing and laughing at whoever yelled at people who understandably took what the last ch was building up to with a grain #of salt. see what happens? i thought we all knew by now that lesbians can’t have shit #but yeaaaa i want toga and the league friendship. please don’t let this be it i can’t believe mhui is the only thing feeding me rn #league of villains #my post #mha leaks #mha spoilers

I know some dickheads have now decided that Judaism is the "bad, violent, terrorist religion" and Islam is the "good, peaceful" one, which is only to be expected of white people, but how much of an issue is it currently? Like I've seen some USAmericans sharing how the Islamic faith shapes Gazans values and perseverance (good) except with that distinct white hippie "I'm about to imprint on this like the world's most racist duck" vibe (bad), but I didn't think they're already turning on Judaism in numbers.

Do they realize that Christianity is also the same kind of comfort to Christian minorities in Asia and Africa? That it was Buddhists that genocided the Rohingyas in Myanmar and Tamils in Sri Lanka? That Hindu fundamentalists are even now trying to ethnically cleanse Muslims in India? How Hindus and Christians are terrorized and persecuted in Pakistan? That Muslims have a history of persecuting and ethnically cleansing Jews too?

Really tired of asking y'all to be normal about people's religions man. There's no religion that's inherently violent or exceptionally peaceful. It's just like any other ideology that becomes a weapon in the hands of ethnic power. Interrogate power, not religion, and respect people's belief systems insofar as they aren't in your business.

Edit: I've amended the "long history" of Muslim persecution of Jews because it might be misleading in the current political climate. Zionism and antisemitic Arab nationalism are twin births resulting directly from Christian colonization, and Islamic empires tended to actually be more tolerant of other religions compared to Christianity, especially Judaism, which was considered a sibling religion. Antisemitism wasn't ideologically entrenched in Islamic tradition. It's simply that ethno-religious power will lead to ethno religious domination and intermittent cleansing of minorities, and Islam is no exception. Humans be humaning always.

#Edit: please boost the edit #why can't white people just be fuckin normal for once #tbh this site was so weird about Judaism that it felt almost culty #I had several crises about whether I was being antisemitic before I realized no I'm just reacting to the idealization-demonization binary #that seems to be all western leftists know how to do #white queers are the worst about this #and now some of the asks I've been getting gives me the impression that the west thinks ''Islamist'' is some kind of dangerous cryptid #y'all attach insane levels of importance to people's choice of headgear #the only common denominator of all the Muslims I know is their fixation on biriyani idk #a lot of white lefties just want to use religion to distance yourself from your white privilege #same reason as why communism is so attractive to you #y'all want to share in a legacy of oppression because it's easier than self-reflection and unlearning #antisemitism #anti Zionism #Islamphobia #philosemitism #white queers #western leftists #racism #religious fundamentalism #genocide #religious violence #knee of huss

kiryuu sibling stasis post-32 is so interesting to me. nanami tries to leave and is (temporarily but also, crucially, violently) prevented from doing so by touga and akio. after this experience she puts distance between herself and them: she leaves touga’s phone in the car, she resigns from the student council (though she dons her old uniform still), she repeatedly dismisses and undermines the authority of the rose code, of end of the world, of akio, of touga. but she’s still in ohtori, isn’t she? uncomfortable with the idea of leaving, uncertain if it’s really possible. she tried before, and it hurt her. deeply. it’s so interesting to me, nanami’s agency and how she limits her exertion of it after 32, when she realises it for what it is. contrast that with touga, who accepts this weird stalemate between them, who is, really, uninterested in having any relationship of any kind with nanami if he can’t gain something from her. he’s very passive with her after 32, compared to the passivity he’d always feigned towards her before in order to stoke reactions from her and then exploit them. i was thinking about how touga has always been able to sever his relationship with nanami, but chosen not to; first out of a sense of obligation (‘we should live to help each other’) then a realisation of how that could be exploited. i was thinking about how nanami has never realised her ability to leave, in part because it is limited by touga and the harm he does her. i was thinking about the desperation and confusion akio calls out to anthy with as she leaves. i was thinking about how different that is to the kiryuus’ strange semi-breakdown; touga doesn’t want or need nanami, and nanami might love her brother but she cannot trust him or feel safe around him, doesn’t want to see him anymore; she’s itching to leave, and just a little scared (you know, because last time she tried that her brother assaulted her), and he’s not doing anything because ignoring her means he doesn’t have to deal with the emotions of her leaving or staying. something something gendered power dynamics something something tragic siblings

#local kiryuu sibling enjoyer has thoughts about them #i wrote this like three days ago but it’s getting posted now i have to speak my truth #touga loves a bit of inaction #nanami doesn’t but what the fuck else is she gonna do?? be brave? she tried that already #and she WILL try it again and i don’t think touga will try particularly hard to stop her #i think he might try a little but in doing so he’ll just become more aware of how much he doesn’t want to do that #and is only doing it bc of a vague sense of obligation to a perspective on life that he’s already questioned a la utena #im just. i have so many feelings about them. i bet none of you were aware of that fact already #i am once again wondering: does touga love nanami? what does that mean for each of them? #and im concluding: i really don’t think he does #i think he’s felt obligation to her and turned bitter towards that emotion and her in turn #i think he has no idea how to feel about her so he ignores the problem and exploits HER feelings as he thinks he understands them #until he realises that he doesn’t and has to deal (a little bit) with the ramifications of that #touga and anthy when nanami makes them self reflect. or swagever. the 32 way. neither of them would ever admit this but it’s true #dais.txt #her tragedy her triumph

Re: your mental health comic - I hope, if any of those characters are based on real hallucinations youve had, that you don't have them anymore. You're a good person who doesn't deserve to be talked to like that.

(Referencing this or this post, I’m not sure which)

Thank you so much for your kind words! The characters in those works are representations of actual hallucinations I’ve experienced. They were real nasty pieces of work, but I haven’t actually hallucinated one in a severe enough manner to talk to them in about… Shoot. Hang on, I need to think… 5-ish years now? I think? And the last time I did, I heard a brief sentence before I took some heavy-duty meds that knocked me out and took care of the hallucination by the time I woke up. I’ve gone through a lot of growth between now and then, and I’m now in a place where the only lasting legacy those losers have had is making me very good at abstract descriptions + personifications and self-reflection. Their cruel words are fuzzy and vague things that I barely remember.

Heck, I went through some old notes to remember some nicknames I gave them, and it was a blast from the past that I actually laughed at! They actually called me “less than worthless” to the point I internalized and verbalized it many times? Wow. That’s pretty cringe, guys. You spent your entire lives bullying a teenager. Cool. Now I love myself and forgot that was ever a mantra I recited at all times in my head.

I once had a project I was working on where I made a fictionalized autobiography set in a fantasy world starring a self-insert and these jokers. It was going to be a kind of field guide to hallucinations I experienced. I stopped working on it after a while because it was too painful for me to develop, as it was meant to dig deep into the pain and struggles I went through on a daily basis… and now I’m looking back at it and considering making it a humorous story about how ridiculous my hallucinations were— at least the ones with consistent personalities. Comedy equals tragedy plus time, truly.

I might end up posting some of the more solemn journal comics I made about these chuckleheads... It'd be weird to dig up my significantly older work, but I think it would do me some good and maybe be enjoyable / educational for others!

#figured i should reiterate this since I'm talking about schizophrenia again: #I won't be offended if anyone has questions they'd like to ask + would gladly answer pretty much everything you guys might be wondering! #anonymous asks are on if you're shy #but it's something i really don't mind talking about :> #heck— i actually can ramble for ages about my experiences if you get me on the right subject! #I always worry that people might be too nervous to ask genuine questions #And my hallucinations honestly usually read more as OCs to me nowadays than the spectral tormentors I once suffered under #i have so many jokes to make about these dopes it's not even funny #anyhoo. *holds up the Orange Boy* this dipstick loves mint chocolate chip ice cream for some reason #*points to the Black Clock* that jerkwad thinks intrusive thoughts are legitimately reflective of one's moral fiber #*points to the Red Woman* that heathen is in brain prison for unsolicited art critiques #*points to self* I put the “hot” in “psychotic” #and with that #it is beddy-bye time for Sofies :) #honk shoo mimimimi #psychosis #schizophrenia #schizophrenic #schizophrenia art #psychosis art #stuff by sofie #sofie answers asks

Oh and I started writing the ace!Eddie fic I mentioned the other week. I have the first part drafted and it could stand on its own but it would be very bittersweet and that’s not entirely my jam, so I’ve planned a second part and need at least a third.

I’m just trying to reconcile how I usually write Steve with the Steve I want in this fic (sexual compatibility is very important to me so he’s not how I usually see Steve for that to work) and I’m not 100% I can make it feel right to me but fingers crossed!

#steddie #sorry I’m very chatty atm #the huge anxiety I’ve felt since the end of September has lifted and now I’m really chipper 🤣 #but yeah I personally just need fic about ace characters to be more reflective of my experience? #just because of my own hang ups I find it hard to read certain stuff in ace fic and I’m writing this to be self indulgent lol #I just don’t know if I can make this Steve feel like Steve if that makes sense #i know I never write smut but I still tend to imagine them both wanting and having sex #and usually once I latch onto a thing that’s it lmao #so this is kind of a challenge but yeah idk I don’t need to write all this lol #pizzaqueenwrites

reminder.

#hi i couldnt think of an awesome caption for all of this so um ill talk in the tags about my thought process #silhouette is forgetting herself. and she knows this. they reflect on this often. this time literally in a mirror. and their face... #its blurry. its obscured. they can see their own tired expression... but can they really see their face? #and the flames. once again burning away at their memories. sil can watch herself forget in real time if she wanted. she's so tired. #she could burn away everything if she wanted. they could keep burning until there's nothing left at all. and that self destructive tendency #is tempting. god it is so tempting to say fuck it and give up. but no they cant. they have a job to do. they usually remind themself to kee #going in the mirror. even when the reflection doesnt always look familiar. but now theres also something else. a new glimmer of hope in #silhouette's otherwise bleak life. a girl. she doesnt know if they can have that happy ending. but she will do anything to keep her safe. #and for now that is enough. sil doesnt know if she will remember her own face or her own name but my fucking god she will not forget lucy's #anyway hi im normal about my ocs 😁 teehee #my art #doodle #digital art #colored sketch #oc tag #silhouette #lucille

WHAT CHESS PIECE REPRESENTS YOU?

Black Rook

You are the Black Rook. As a piece that can move inwards and outwards, you're a master of self-reflection. Being the black piece, you hide an inner beast within you. Perhaps you're one to rush headfirst into trouble, was it for a friend's sake? Or your own? Are you the overprotective type? Did you know your grip was that tight around someone's neck? For all your protectiveness and deliberate planning, you can't wash the blood off your hands that easily.

tagged: @sharpsuite, thank you!!

tagging: @obscurart @moldcursed @punishdsin @alexeatis @mindreid + anyone else who wants to yoink this! @ me so i can see your results

#quiz. #[ nice nice nice nice nice nice nice #overprotective dog with anger issues. nice #i literally went into this like ''sebastian's a rook'' and then got a rook. poetry #seb is the master of self-reflection once he gets past his denial phase imo #he's actually quite insightful and wise when he wants to be -- but when wisdom requires him to Let Go... :-) #''did you know your grip was tight around someone's neck'' mfw myra............. #also i think it suits the way i play him in-game too since i like to use traps and environments as much as possible...... ]

thinking about nile having nightmares and not being able to sleep post london and then being very tired during the day and taking naps on whoever's around

#like. my heart aches for her thinking about what she's going through after london #debating whether it's safe to contact her family and knowing she'll outlive them and could put them in danger if she does contact them #her friends completely ostracizing her after she came back to life #(once again. what the fuck they should have been so happy??) #so she's completely separated from her former life and is dealing with that loss #the trauma of killing and being killed #like given that she had nightmares about the man she killed in afghanistan i imagine she would also have nightmares a #about the people she killed during the rescue #and this would bring up a lot of complicated emotions and possibly a bit of identity crisis/self reflection on her being a marine #all of this plus being dropped into a group of people who've known each other for hundreds of years + mortal andy - exiled booker #anyway... she is going through a Lot #but: going back to “tell us” i think they would try to take care of her #and talk about her nightmares #(but also. there might be reluctance from nile to share or joe/nicky/andy to ask when she wakes up gasping #because what if she dreamt of quynh. like that's a whole other dimension - do they want to hear about it because it means she's alive #or do they not want to think of her dying over and over. i imagine nile would wrestle with this at first) #ok i got off track the point is. nile taking naps on andy nicky and joe and being comforted. i think that would be nice for her and everyon #there is a lot happening emotionally and andy has to heal physically and they all need to heal emotionally #so. naptime #sorry these tags are so long lol i had more thoughts than i thought #the old guard

i really don't think people understand how entertaining it is writing characters you completely disagree with. or being invested in a story you understand but think is fallible on a philosophical level. it's genuinely fun to dig into these different perspectives and the reasoning of why...

#i have some criticism of ytd. sure. but none of that is based on the fact i see the AIs as purely replicas #i actually enjoy how far it goes to attempt to blur the lines of humanity. even if i find my answer to be unchanged #and. well. you know me. i love dissecting how characters once were in the past. the AIs reflect that as well & create conflict of #the past - one that wouldn't be possible with the present development of a character. which would also bring into question #if now knowing this and being hurt by this should impact your view of the present person. or if - consider you hadn't known this person #at all; or the human self has died - would you still allow your perspective or memory to be shaped by the past AI #it's cool seeing how ytd ties the yakuza into the science field here. particularly embodying its grief; catalyst the hades incident #but i digress. if this makes no sense forgive me for i am so sleepy. so so sleepy. goodbye world #jestersvaguely #yttdposting #for da tags

[fate-defiant]

Honestly what with him being stuck in one unaging, unchanging state with his only remaining connection to his former self being this vague notion that he must fight and protect and sacrifice with no regard for his own well-being - there really is something of The Ghost Knight in Mytho.

#princess tutu #mytho #i mean we know that already. like the dude is literally mytho's pride. he fully lets go of his one shred of existence once its returned to #once its returned to mytho #but we really dont talk about it enough #the episode unfortunately pits fakir against the knight so we get lost in that particular sauce but #they're literally reflections of eachother #or rather they are eachother? #how do i put this #i feel like. a very plausible reading of the episode and mytho;s character #is that his pride is what ties him to his role as a ''prince who loves all'' #cos like. once he breaks his own heart he is a shell. a ghost of his former self and all his accomplishments #hes cannot love all because he cannot love anyone #so the only thing that still makes him Him #is what he did out of that perfect selfless fairytale love: fight and save and sacrifice #he's literally on autopilot #You know. Like a certain Someone. #some-ones. #why did the show never stop to compare and contrast fakir and mytho;s attachment to their roles actually. weren't they concieved as like. #equal and opposites?? narrative foils??? The White Prince and The Black Prince??????? #there was still something to that even after fakir's development went off the rails why miss this opportunity to elaborate on mytho's chara #ran out of letters again #god #my point is what the fuck. what happened. ooooooh im so miffed now im miffed. #fate.txt

🤔

#i have genuinely personally never seen so many collective communities of people hate one guy so much but also never stop #talking about that one guy they hate so much over and over all the damn time #seen people call that dream's 'second fanbase' and it makes me laugh cause so true #why not just leave him alone.. #i get some people are thoroughly addicted to the clout it gets them on twitter or whatever but other than that #what's the reason. read a book. sit on the grass and smell the wind blowing through the trees. feel rays of sunlight on your face #no one needs to know that much about the one guy you hate #you can dislike things! you can be negative! we are human!! but recognize when that becomes an obsession #and maybe self reflect for once...

part of my issue with tom based video essays is they deliberately ONLY talk about his 80s roles or mi as an excuse to write off his acting abilities as being self-reflective and not factoring in "hey maybe his most popular roles are effected by how hollywood was slowly riding on the 1970s need for blockbusters" or they pull a "im just going to deliberately skip over or misinterpret roles that actually debunk my thesis because i just want to continue the echo chamber that this man can't act"

#mit.txt #thesis immediately broken once you bring up frank or vincent #if you want self-reflective where the video essay saying the firm is just reflective of co$ because if you're insane like me you see it #cruise posting #every so often i get strung back into cruise he's like a creature i need to examine under a microscope

This is why I can’t take people seriously when they act like Ryunosuke’s idealization of Kazuma was to the extremes. Ryunosuke absolutely recognized that Kazuma could be stubborn and ill tempered and rude at times, and was fully capable of lightly pointing that out to him. He could also be a bit of a little shit to Kazuma when he felt like he deserved it. Like…they were mostly just normal friends.

#kazuma asougi #ryuunosuke naruhodou #kazuma asogi #ryunosuke naruhodo #tgaac #dgs spoilers #Like 75% of it was normal healthy admiration #and the rest was more a reflection on his own self-loathing than it was about him misunderstanding Kazuma. #(and a little bit about him romanticizing him) #and once again: the idealization was mutual
