The Hungry Ghost - The Cure 💚

this was already on my playlist, but thank you so much✨

#the cure remind me so much of my adolescence #I remember that I used to wear a t-shirt with robert smith's face on it for my gym class at school #and one day a girl said to me (I'm not kidding) “I'm so sorry but this is your dead father?” #she was serious I guess... I don't know #but she left me speechless💀 #(btw my father it's alive)

a current day nils and a 90s college student nils who's way too intense about his internship walk into a bar

#hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii nils hiiii 💗🤭 #let me get my important tags out of the way so i can write you a novella in the rest of them #ts4 #ts4 cas #ts4 edit #the sims 4 #nils #i've been exploring his character 🏃‍♂️ #his full name is nils pelletier he's from canada originally he went to nyc for college and stayed there forever #he didn't grow up with much but he was really good at school so he got a scholarship and he was very very determined to become rich #he interned at frankie's dad's company and was offered a full time position after he graduated yayy you made it. i guess :| (evil company) #he's always been very stern very serious very quiet he's never had many if any friends. he was a deeply unhappy child #his parents weren't even bad they're nice and supportive and tried their best #he was married and has one son but he hasn't been married for a while. i don't know if it's divorce or death or what yet #it was the first girl he ever had a relationship with and he was also her first relationship #a very dull marriage but again not a bad one. she was nice and supportive and tried her best #it seemed like it was what they were supposed to do. get married and have a child bam done you did what was expected congrats #they barely ever even argued it was just. well loveless seems a harsh word. and 'well they were friends at least' seems untruthful #anyway he often has to be frankie's handler because frankie's dad is his boss and he does what he's told always #frankie's really difficult though

#my art #trans #side note: following tags are a pretty long thought dump #ugh okay i'm going to be honest #i didn't know anything about predstrogen until she was banned and many people started talking about her #also looked through photomatt's blog very briefly #to me he sounds callous- if that's the right word. he just didn't seem to care about what happened to predstrogen prior to her being banned #also? car with hammers that explodes multiple times feels far from being a serious death threat to me #yes predstrogen explicitly mentioned death wishes #but i don't know. what she said is more cartoonish than serious #also something i noticed from photomatt: where is the evidence that predstrogen threatened other users? #i haven't been looking into all this that deeply #but that photomatt stating that as part of the reason for predstrogen's ban and then not elaborating is. weird. for lack of better words #on a slightly different note: i love tumblr and how i can be my silly queer self and nobody cares #but if we don't stand up for each other — especially those who are constant targets for harrassment and other crappy things #tumblr will eventually die or bear no resemblance to the site i enjoy so much #maybe i'm privileged! being a trans masc guy #or maybe i'm ignorant #but i guess i have a tendency to say a lot. and i hate staying silent when i have the opportunity to speak out #so i'm going to scream #and i hope y'all are going to speak in support of trans women too

angry at the oscars barbie nominations but in an annoyinger way (i think nominating ryan reynolds makes sense but the best picture and best supporting actress noms are ridiculous)

#sorry but the more i think about it the more i really dislike the movie #ken was funny! he was silly and campy! i really did not care for the rest of the movie! #i just think the more you examine its take on feminism the more it falls apart! #it's inherently about a product! it's inherently personifying a product and making you feel sympathy for and relate to a product! #they are generating hype and engendering sympathy for something they are trying to sell you! #regurgitating second wave feminism without nuance doesn't make it groundbreaking it makes it like. fine i guess? #verilybitchie has a great video that put a lot of my feelings about it into words #idk it did not resonate with me at all and also made me kind of annoyed with how it contributed to the ongoing trend #of gendering things that aren't gendered and focusing on a segregation of gendered perspectives #tired of i'm just a girl! tired of girl dinner! tired of men are always thinking about the roman empire! #sure there are experiences more common to and relevant to women but i get so uncomfy with those kinds of generalizations #even when they're just jokes because after they get repeated enough they stop sounding like ones #just like. when you try to examine it in terms of any kind of intersectionality it falls apart #and i know it's not that serious but like come on. they literally do not once touch on any kind of intersectionality. #you can't be like 'it's a groundbreaking feminist movie!' because they said 'women struggle with misogyny' in 2023 #like i know it's barbie but i don't understand why there's this impulse to say that that's something that's never been said before #just because the president is black doesn't mean you've acknowledged like. racism at all. #just because you have two fat barbies with like four lines doesn't mean you've said anything meaningful about body image #and when you take an openly lesbian actress and give her short hair and make her strange and then have all the other characters #essentially socially exile her and still think she's weird after the resolution!!! #i would say that's like!! implicitly a pretty weird way to write gay people! #i don't want to rain on anyone's parade! it's silly! it's not that serious! i just also think it's not that good! #it's fine! it's fun! but i DO think ken is the best part of the barbie movie and for that i apologize

society if hoo had them at uni age and the lost trio went to chb and chiron is like "how tf are ANY of u alive and unclaimed". wilderness was just community college.

#on a serious note this changes a lot actually. annabeth and percy would not be in chb anymore so when percy goes missing #its like. a genuine possibility and fear because demigods don't make it that old. there is also some added time between tlo and tlh as well #further adding to jasons isolation as being even WEIRDER than everyone else. he also would've been praetor for longer so maybe the romans #wouldve cared more. this also does away with the plot hole of ppl not giving a shit that jason piper and leo (and dylan) straight up #dipped. introducing piper especially to a summer camp makes chb less appealing because they're too old for that and thus makes their #departure from chb make more sense in toa. yet also it opens up the possibility of new rome uni.... which i cannot see any reason as to why #leo would not go there!!!!! outside of being banned cuz he bombed new rome lol. but pipers sexuality arc works for college too!!! ur never #too old to find urself. but also this is the question of if you are able to relatively function in society (this is more for piper leo fran #and i guess percy) then why would you even fight this prophecy??? anyway lol them being college aged is perfect cuz percy is literally #going to a new place and having a new transition with new ppl... like u do in college LOL. now the question is would hazel still be 13. nic #is a lot older at this point and perhaps has the same age gap as bianca and him did 🤔 cant remember. but also don't know why hazel was 13 #in the first place lol. idk. in my college hoo she is just a senior in hs about to graduate from spqr and thinking about staying there or #possibly going to newru after seeing frank make the decision the previous year! SAD! #anyway in hoo. percy and annabeth are sophomores. frank and the lost trio are freshman. #but then in toa. percy annie frank and the lost trio are all graduating cuz percy got held back and Annabeth failed after tartarus fr. #but then also know that piper never went to newru and is adamant about going to mortal uni. and leo kills in newru but is bored. nvm i #forgot he died 🧍‍♂️ ummmmmm ok. ignore leo. and jason actually. so um. ok that really threw me off but are u getting it. that's when apollo #is like 'heeyyyyy i need help pwease 🥺' and they're all like 'dude.' #OK! #but also i ackowedge that this is a children's book and i am not its demographic so god be with you.

I've been so emotionally sensitive lately.

#guess i need to get out of the house more? #my friend and i are going to a fantasy book con in december and they were upset at me because i was not being serious enough about buying #the plane tickets and i was all 'i don't know when the best time to buy plane tickets is. i guess three months in advance or something?' #and she was all 'ur not taking this seriously. there was a discount but now it's not there anymore' #like gurl sorry i don't watch brandon sanderson's weekly youtube posts. how was i supposed to know?? #anyway i was already feeling bad today and i ended up crying about it lol #i didn't even know how to tell my partner what i felt without sounding like i was nutso #delete later #i've been hyperfixating on my story to cope #fjkljfdsjlf

getting into batman and fam late is mildly embarrassing because with the series going on for so long there's a lot of various different interpretations of characters and they'll usually have common threads between them in the very least appearance wise so its easy to recognise them. i, however, did not grow up with the standard appearance of these characters and none shows that example more than when i imagine dick grayson. bc when ppl think of dick grayson he has long(ish) dark hair whereas what i think of is:

#shut up danni's talking #gif #batfam #on another mildly embarrassing note i grew up w dick's personality being those films which from memory is mostly cheerful #w a good(ish) relationship w bruce and almost always smiling #HOWEVER i knew of tim drake so whenever i saw robin in teen titans i assumed ah thats tim then i guess bc he always seemed so serious #that being said i never actually watched teen titans it never really appealed to me but i did know of it #on a similar note my mind always gets v confused bc the barbara in those films is my hc steph which does not make sense #mostly bc i don't think of her as barbara gordon bc she's not she's instead alfred's niece or smth? #but shes blonde and shes batgirl so 🤷‍♀️ brain says thats steph which is why in my head she and dick would be friends at least #but yeah i always imagine dick w rlly short hair so it always takes me back a bit when i read someone describe dick's hair lol #tbf i don't take everything in those movies as canon bc the batnips still haunt my dreams and made me giggle uncontrollably as a kid #like seriously batman w visible nips like who you trying to intimidate batman you have nips on your armor

"We need our vassals to believe the Empire will always come to their aid. Always." This is actually kinda interesting, considering Edelgard's ideals amount to "people need to rely on their own strength rather than relying on others." There's a case here that she's keeping that from her vassals, and by them relying on her they're ultimately seen as lacking merit in her eyes and giving her room to dismiss them. Then there's the Hubert/Shez support saying that she's coddling the nobility while oppressing the commoners, and her reforms attracting nobles from the Kingdom opposed to Dimitri's pro-commoner reforms while Hubert and Monica's makes it out that she's going to free the nobility from their responsibilities to do whatever they please. Hopes is just another flavor of Safflower. In Safflower, she needed to rely on the Agarthans for her war, but had made them dance to her tune according to the Japanese text before ultimately disposing of them. In Blaze, she relies on the nobility for support, but her support ultimately gives her grounds to strip them of their power after the war. It's the same Edelgard, just working with a different group of scumbags.

Tbf,

Idk if the devs bought their own lie or something like this with Supreme Leader, but damn if sometimes her writing - and the reaction to her actions - is completely different whether you think about this "PR" mindset, or not.

I could even compare this to the fandom surrounding her, you have the very devoted fans thinking #griffithdidnothingwrong because Supreme Leader wondered once in an anonymous ask what to do with Rhea if she refuses to surrender, and "turn her in shiny double axes" wasn't an option, just like her asking Rhea'n'all to surrender in the last chapter of Tru Piss...

And yet, she also has her lines where she congratulates herself and Billy for getting the world of those pesky pointy ears, saying as early as chapter 12 to motivate her troops that her path leads to Rhea's death and telling to Billy, before the "plz surrender" speech that she wants to eliminate the evil lizard lady so...

We can see the same about her parents' romance in Garreg Mach - debunked by a nameless who says no imperial heir has attended in recent ages - Aegir being responsible for the experiments when Hubert says it was Thales, or even, "Willy's sekrit history"... Are we supposed to buy Supreme Leader's words - as she is known to lie to her allies "Rhea so BaD she launched nukes in Arianrhod!", or at times are completely wrong/misguided "the church divided Adrestia Fodlan in three entities to control them" when we Know Loog's rebellion was supported by Agartha and Rhea only acted the end of the War because the Emperor of that time lost against the barbarian and Faerghus was independant in all but in name?

Jerry, as much as I like the guy, says it best : Supreme Leader's words are meaningless.

In an usual setting/VG, people would judge her for her various actions... but Flamey is forgotten by the plot because the "slapping my ass" cipher card had to be sold, characters become vapid and moan about "uwu IdEaLs" when no one notices that, uh, any ideal that goes "you are from race B you cannot rule over race A" sucks no matter what...

So what is the "real" Supreme Leader (Watsonian wise, of course, Doylist wise, she's Fodlan's resident waifu)? #griffithdidnothingwrong or, what we've been saying since day 15, someone who, just like Arvis and arguably Ashnard, manipulates people by creating/seizing opportunities to further her own agenda?

I love Gustadolph and I love Arvis, but if their games treated them with the same kiddy gloves they used for Supreme Leader, aka not having anyone call them out on their actions and slobber over the "IdEaLs" regardless of the means and immediately backing off when they could actively discuss about those "IdEaLs", I would like them... less, I guess.

Supreme Leader's PR "line/plans" here reveals her cunning - even if there is the "only one supply line" issue - because she is actively working to "build" an image of a leader whose people/vassals will be loyal to, at the same time, she is fully aware it is nothing but an image because she just has to pretend to care, not care for real, but it also reveales what she thinks of "chivalry" in general and all those notions of mutual help/assistance.

As you pointed out, for someone who's all "might makes right" + "bootstraps", Lonato goofing the plan they devised is just a moron who's going to run to his own death. Let he be a vassal or ally of circumstance, she doesn't really care about his death, aka, about the death of the people who bought her flag and are now on her side.

What bothers her more is the reputation Adrestia will have if it doesn't pretend to "assist" one of their vassals when they need help.

(Compare this to the Kingdom and the Church always helping, when they can, their allies and Rhea's doctrine being to help whoever needs help, regardless of their background, religion or whatnot!)

Imo, it's as cynical as Ashnard trashtalking Bryce in FE9, save that Lonato isn't here, like Bryce, to hear what his "Lord" really thinks of him :

Supreme Leader mocks and loathes "chivalry" and the idea of "people supporting each other" - which we can see more clearly when we slaughter Baron Dominic in Supreme Bullshit - thinking the Dominics felt pressured to protect their lands, people and loved ones when, uh, they just, don't want to see the people they love die? And want to help and save them?

In a way I'm glad I found this line, for my morning salt because it hurts again to even imagine what Fodlan could have been if Supreme Leader wasn't designed as the mascot whales/target audience was supposed to simp for and buy nightgown cipher cards, but also for the confirmation bias (i know i'm petty) that Supreme Leader is indeed closer to Ashnard and Oldvis than fandom!Griffith, and again as another window in Adrestia's decadence and fall.

I mean, how could a country founded by Rhea herself, with close ties to what she is still preaching aka "help everyone!" fall so low to the point where assisting those who need help if frowned upon, and only to be done if it leads to something useful, like, good PR - saving the bozo who's rushing to his death though? I'd say it's much like Monica's rescue in Nopes - kill two birds with one stone, but well, one bird was prioritised while the other just, kind of, died on its own which happens to be a good thing for us, I guess?

-> Which gives us the magical ending of Supreme Bullshit, the two birds killed each other!

#fantasyinvader #Supreme Leader's allies are only pawns to be moved around #what should be expected from 'i'd sacrifice my people if needed'? #there are lines here and there in SB telling a bit more about Supreme Leader's character #oh well we know what the game does with those lines #but I guess in a more coherent setting like maybe a serious fic? #where the BESF aren't sycophants or characters are allowed to react to Supreme Leader's actions and plans #and not a mere 'uwu i feel bad for turning against the church after they helped us :(' from doro #bcs it's empty as she follows with 'uwu i'll follow edie' #please it's not like going to the party of someone you don't like #you're joining a war killing former comrades and assaulting to sack a monastery that also acts as an orphanage and charity place #that guilt is grossly misplaced #'i feel so bad for hurting bob but johnny said we should' #'pictured : johnny dismembering bob with a knife' #3 nopes #FE16 #I guess

Lately I’ve been haunted by a conversation I had when I was in grade 9 with a classmate who was also watching the Hakuoki anime (only season 1 was out at that point). She asked me who my favourite character was.

Me: I like Saito and Okita, and I also like Sannan.

Her response: You like boring characters.

And the kicker is I don’t remember if I asked her who her favourite characters were, and if I did I don’t remember what her answer was.

#Boring? #Boring!?!!? #Like I'll take that Saito might be boring to some people because he's so serious and reserved #and Sannan is kind of on the sidelines for some stuff #and also kind of quiet and cool on the outside #But Okita? #How is Okita boring? #It haunts me #I'm guessing she probably was a Heisuke fan or something if she thought they were boring #but I don't know! #Hakuoki #Hakuouki

You can call me crazy, but am I the only one who think seeing MC smile so much on this book is weird? For me, it doesn't feel like her, even if she's with Trystan. Because those smiles where so rare and special to me, and know we get them too often.

#maybe its because know that she accepted love shes happier #but it doesn't fit her #she is the serious type who even when shes joking she keeps and staight face so peopke don't if she serious #besidesssss ive been missing her sarcasm #and those answers pb is giving us with trystan!!! #i mean there nice and flirty and i love them #but i missed when we just tell Trystan to stop flirting it made everything funnier #guess ill just reread the first but again #crimes of passion #cop2 #playchoices

What do you think Alison Weird's personal ranking of the Six Wives is?

God, I hope that's not a typo 😂

This sounds familiar, have I answered this before...? Maybe I need to make a FAQ page.

Can say with fair confidence, because I've read many of her interviews, because apparently I am a masochist that likes to give myself rage headaches, her ranking (from favorite to least is): COA, JS, CParr, Anna of Cleves, KH, and AB.

Funnily enough, I think AB fell and JS rose in her estimation in the last decade or so, in older interviews she really seemed to have more disdain for the latter ( "I wrote a biography of Jane Seymour myself in the 80s, but it wasn’t very long [...] What more is there to say or know about her? I don’t find her a very sympathetic character.") Not to say views can't change, but it's weird in some sense because it seems like her newfound appreciation is not really based on any...new appraisal of evidence? And the same for her newfound disdain (Anne 'loved Elizabeth intensely' --> 'Anne had gender disappointment syndrome', which seems nastily specific, like, even if she did come across contemporary accounts that make it seem like Anne 'fades' a bit after Elizabeth's birth which, it doesn't seem she did, why that in particular and not like, postpartum depression, instead...?)

#i don't think she likes~ kh and similary she seems to intensely dislike both of them on some level for being 'mean' to henry (spare me) #but i mean....she did give her a much more peaceful death than she did anne . like i can't walk away from that thinking anything other #than that she REALLY intensely hates anne #if one had to guess i would say that she has more antipathy reserved for AB > KH as 'heroines' because AB supplanted HER heroine #not to speak of the (transphobic) dead or whatever but i do wonder almost if it's a similar think to mantel... #which was that somehow her hostile perspective on AB got tied up in her mommy issues #just bcus the way she hates anne it's like she reminds her of someone or like anne is someone she knows personally even... #*similarly #*in weir's series of six wives novels. a curse upon whoever gave her than book deal fr and im so serious #i want to go to the sliding doors where that series does not exist almost as much as i want to go to the one without covid #*similar thing #anon #*that #*ill of the #maybe i need to stop trying to elaborate in tags. lordt
