#sorta a ramble

[deadlynightshadeunderthestars]

this is for people who can relate, but does it bother you when others say stuff to you, like "you shouldn't be hard on yourself" "Stop placing so much expectations on yourself!"?

It doesn't work that way. It doesn't "stop." yeah, if it just stopped when I dropped it believe me it would have gone away by now.

And we work on it. But you know what's worse? These people giving shit advice don't even show that they care. They are emotionally distant from you and yet act like your friend. They don't provide reasons for you to trust them, or even see them as worthy of listening to. They come to the aid of other people and yet ignore you. When they finally do see your issues, that's when they give "oh you're awesome I like you don't have so high of an expectation UwU"

They never personally ask you if you are doing okay. they ask in public. Dude maybe I don't want to say how I feel when other people can listen/read what I say.

idk I'm so tired of the very people who make me feel like I'm not enough thinking they have ANY right to just give me horrible advice.

EDIT: also if you don't actually care don't bother talking to me or other people about whether we are fine or not. Go take your fake ass kindness somewhere else. Only seek us out when you are genuine.

I guess DARE wasn’t a thing in Goron City

I think the reason why Naruto fans get so passionate and upset about the series is because of how real it can be. Naruto isn’t about paragon heroes outdoing dastardly villains. It’s about human beings fighting tooth and nail to survive in a world surrounded by death. It’s about broken systems made and perpetuated by broken people.

The Hyuga clan isn’t just antagonistic or pretentious, they practice slavery.

The Uchiha clan weren’t just killed by some raging psychopath, they were systematically massacred.

Itachi isn’t just cruel to Sasuke because he’s a bad brother, he’s cruel because he’d been told time and time again that you can only survive by being cruel and he wants nothing more than for Sasuke to survive.

Nagato isn’t trying to take over the world just for the sake of power, he’s trying to take over the world because it beat him down to the point of believing that the only chance at peace there is is the world being forced into compliance through fear.

Iruka isn’t hard on Naruto just because he’s a strict teacher, he’s hard on Naruto because he knows from experience how unforgiving the world is towards orphans.

Kakashi isn’t just some silly and slightly lazy teacher, he’s a contract killer still grieving his loved ones and struggling to do better without knowing how he’s supposed to.

Sakura isn’t just a fangirl, she’s a normal girl in a very dangerous and abnormal world constantly being made to choose between what she’s supposed to do and what she feels.

Sasuke isn’t just some edgelord, he’s a survivor who lost everything then gets repeatedly told that he has to choose between keeping what he’s gained and doing better than his brother.

Naruto isn’t just trying to be the best Hokage there ever was, he’s trying to prove his worth to a society that abandoned him just for existing and, in a way, confirm his worth to himself.

The Naruto story is about humans trying to force themselves into the role of weapons because that’s what they were told they had to be. It’s a story where everyone is a perpetrator but no one is trying to do wrong. It’s a story where everyone is a victim but no one is a perfect victim.

The world and the characters aren’t simple and trying to simplify them only takes away from them. So of course we get passionate about showing off all the reasons why they shouldn’t be simplified and all of the ways they’re complicated. Of course we get upset when we see others simplifying them or selling certain aspects of their characters short. Of course we get upset when the series itself simplifies them. Of course we get upset when the series chooses to abandon them. Because it not only feels like the characters are giving up, it feels like the series is betraying anyone who chose to get invested in its complexities.

tbh i do get a little bothered by the notion that tim took the first shot he had to drop out of school because he hated school and didnt wanna do it and all of that bc i feel like it ignores the probably very important context that he dropped out after his dad (as well as steph-or at least, he was led to believe, in the same week) died, also he was in a school shooting. He did attempt to go to a school in bludhaven but the kids there were so wildly insensitive about the shooting that tim dropped out under the pretense of his "uncle" homeschooling him. In his oyl era, he /did/ go back to school, and it provided him some form of normalcy. Tim was a normal kid, he wasnt crazy about school but he still went to school and it helped him feel like a normal kid, something he desperately clung to. He only dropped out again to do his Brucequest, in an era where he was notably Not Doing Well (which. Yeah. he wasnt doing well bc he was like 17 and almost everyone in his support system was dead, he recently had hits put out on him, got blown up, and backstabbed by his not-dead-ex, he couldnt support his theory that bruce was alive and was extremely stressed about that, and he didnt know wtf he was doing. I love him btw.) Basically tim dropping out of school was a signifier that he wasnt doing well and he was giving up on the normality that he tried to cling to and im a bit of a nitpicky person who gets irked by minor things

#robin 1993 #tim drake #red robin 2009 #rambles #Tim Drake wanted to cling to the idea of normal #Including going to school #School shooting mention #Tbh if all the shit that happened to tim happened to me id probably also drop out??? #Like his sorta friend philmont got murdered at school #His friend darla got shot and he gave her corpse cpr (dw she came back as laura fell) #There was that one kid at brentwood who overdosed in meth i think that tim tried to save and couldnt #dc #Just things that i get bothered by a little bit???? #This isnt crit aimed at anyone i literally just had too many thoughts and they had to escape #Tim Drake my beloved

I love how intentionally Kim and Harry are written to contrast one another down to the detail of Kim being an absolute skeptic who doesn’t entertain the idea of the supernatural vs Harry having actual real prophetic visions one of which is required to complete the game

I think Ryne would have a kinda skewed sense of what's normal. Like, she may technically know what's "normal" for most people, but what's normal for her is way different. She's raised by two men who are both Weird, only one of which can even pretend to be normal (and like hell Thancred bothered with that while on the run with Ryne lol)

Ryne thinks that talking circles round pixies is common knowledge from her many stays in Il Mheg. It is not. She also thinks knowing how to and being able to stomach skinning and gutting animals for food is normal. It's certainly more common, but unless you're a hunter it absolutely does not come as easily. Being able to walk and run around quietly is something she technically knows is unusual, but since her company has mainly consisted of a professional spy and a man who barely leaves home she tends to forget that most people can't do that.

I can't come up with anymore atm but. Ryne should get to be just a little weird(er) I think

#i also think this would make interactions with gaia funnier #bc for all of gaias Baggage she is more or less a normal teenager #who has normal reactions to things (mostly) #ryne & gaia go camping a bit and ryne finds and hunts down like a boar #and gaia watches in horror as ryne just guts it right there bc ryne forgot most ppl dont like to see that process #(and then she repeatedly apologizes for her oversight and promises not to do it in front of her again) #(gaia didnt care THAT much but appreciates the thought anyway) #anyway. my little baby girl i love her and want her the best always #ryne waters #thancred waters #urianger augurelt #< just mentioned (sorta) #final fantasy #final fantasy 14 #final fantasy xiv #ff14 #ffxiv #xander rambles #xander being insane about ryne #not the typical deep ranting BUT IT COUNTS

[reesiereads]

Can I just say: Fucking props to DBD for having a couple not get together after kissing. Like I can’t think of another example in a show right now where two characters have kissed and expressed interest in one another and then been like: “as much as I like you I am not currently in a healthy enough place to be with you right now. I want to stay friends until I figure myself out.” Like that is the mature thing to do but I don’t think I’ve ever seen it and it’s just another example of how amazing this show is at writing complex relationships.

#reesie rambles #dead boy detectives #do I sorta wish Charles and Crystal weren’t together because I don’t feel any romantic chemistry between them? #sure #but I can recognize that as it is they were written well #and I think it makes sense for Crystal to be the one bringing it up #since as a psychic she’s got to have at least some emotional maturity

[yukipri]

If someone told me I was a handsome, perfect little boi as frequently as I say it to my cats, I too would probably walk around like I owned the place, sitting on/knocking over whatever I please

#YukiPri rambles #cats #cat #now i did think of turning this into a mental health 'so u should talk to yourself like you're a cat to boost your ego' sorta thing #but then I was like u know what actually i think i'd rather not #it is great to boost low egos but also we as a society should not strive to all become as ill-mannered and destructive as cats can be #even if yes they are all perfect lil critters

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

#with all the kate middleton conspiracies and detective work with photo analysis and media etc. #it just reminds me deeper how so much that occurred during 1D and especially with BG #could’ve only happened in the timeframe it happened in #when twitter and social media as a whole wasn’t as engaging and analytical as it is now #like there’s now such a need to uncover all the lies and curtains that hollywood and the industry pulls over on the GP #and with such a trend of exposing things and people in the industry #it would be like moth to a flame #so much shit could only be pulled off because of the vacuum of the time it was set in #imagine so many things that occurred during that era and the consistent weirdness of BG (especially with photos and videos) #it would’ve been torn to pieces by twitter internet sleuths in 2.5 seconds which would bring so much of the twitter GP obsessed with pop #culture to start threads and jump down rabbit holes etc. #it’s just always fascinating to see #especially when the buzzfeed article that occurred during BG that tried and failed to highlight all the inconsistencies #was like. the peak of coverage about it #on the other hand i’m sorta glad it did happen the way it did because imagine how much would be said about louis over that entire thing #and people would be ruthless #idk just some rambles

[divine-misfortune]

Letting Rain indulge in his murder ghoul tendencies is necessary but comes with a thin line to walk because if the others are not careful he could turn that violence back around - its allowing him indulgence up to a point before hunger turns to gluttony.

Swiss and Aether both carry a lot of scars from a water ghoul lost in instinct, but Rain wears quite a few of his own in kind. He never lets himself be taken easily, fighting the two bigger ghouls till they take him to the ground and bleed him so full of quintessence his body goes entirely limp. They have to quite literally sedate him for their own safety. Sometimes it's bad enough Aether has to sift through the jumbled up wires in his brain to draw his humanity back to the surface.

Of course Rain feels guilty when he comes back to himself. He always does. He knows it's a problem but can never seem to stop himself. Every time he tells himself he won't indulge again, it seems to get harder and harder to draw himself back, but instincts are undeniable. They only remain dormant for so long.

Pokémon Timeskip Series: Champion Dawn 🌸❄️

Known as Sinnoh’s Ice Queen, Dawn is best known for her intimidating yet caring nature. She’s fierce and calculating, never leaving any room for error especially when it comes to battling. On her off days you can find her in the contest hall, a hobby she picked up from her mother, or in the Battle Frontier/Pokémon Lab to catch up with her best friends. It is said she was recently engaged to a certain johto boy (Ethan. It’s Ethan.) however they will not publicly revealed their plans for the wedding as of yet

Made a timeskip adult champion Dawn design a while back! It’s still my favorite of my timeskip series hehehe I hope you enjoy!

Twitter link

#trainer dawn #pokemon #pokémon #dawn pokemon #Art #Ally draws stuff #pokemon timeskip #Wait I can ramble in the tags that’s fucking right #ok so her design was heavily inspired by Cynthia obviously carrying over the same sorta philosophy #She has a few references to the Pokémon she uses! The scrunchies on her wrist for example relating back to (Shiny) Mega Lopunny #Very proud of that Diamond and Pearl necklace btw while her skirt alt design comes with a jacket so it’s v platinum-esque #She has moon earrings if you zoom in closely along with her star clips! #I still like the triangle clips she has cause it’s a more shape but star clips are cool hella regal #I forgot Lucas wore a beret tbh 💀 but translating her hat to a beret was hella fun #also DP color scheme ofc but I changed it up a bit hehehe #her shoes are a reference to palkia in a way! I paid a dumb amount of attention to how Pokémon translates shoes… #But yeee she’s my favorite timeskip design by far along with my Lyra #I have this whole story I’m building up I hope to release one day hopefully aaaa #The Cherry Blossom in the Winter Snow………. #Oh yeah the engagement ring…… she and Ethan are engaged btw 😳 #pokemon dppt #pokemon bdsp #YUCK THERES A BDSP TAG NOOOOO gotta do it for the clout

THE fact that I’ve guessed this correctly from the very beginning as soon as Sukuna was introduced into the manga years ago lmfaoo. And that as soon as I as Yuuta’s domain, immediately thought “UBW!!!” I’m so smart….
