#stuff from mind

[serashalala]

Maybe I've said this a lot to a bunch of people at different occasions but it's genuinely hard to be convinced that people like the stuff I write or draw, mostly because I do them for my own satisfaction. I write stuff I want to read, and draw stuff I want to see.

My drawings are more often than not my wallpapers at some point or they become stickers I print out for myself. I don't think my work is pristine, but I like looking at it because it has a composition that makes brain go brr and posture that I always wanted to draw til I did.

I read my own stories before going to bed because it is both entertaining and not engaging because I love what happens in the fic but I know it will happen so the anticipation doesn't keep me up. I've got like 26 epubs with the author 'sherashalala' that I interchange night to night cos I enjoy reading what I write-- and genuinely I am not saying this as an arrogant author who sees no fault in my work, on the contrary I cringe at every unfinished paragraph i forgot to beta-read. I just like enjoying my stuff, I write to read.

So when I receive positive feedback of my works I am genuinely shocked and at a loss for words because I didn't know that the stuff I do for myself were things other people enjoyed too-- ignore the fact that the fandom has like, 15mil people in it with a large fraction of it being into fancontent rather than canon content, people like my niche and the weirdly specific scenarios I wanted to play out in writing.

The fact that I have yet to receive soulcrushing negative feedback is sorta like an anvil tied by rope dangling over my head. I feel like it'd ruin me but I wouldn't stop enjoying what I do.

And I am guessing that there’s this certain imposter syndrome I think that's going on because it's just as hard to remember that stuff that I enjoy can also be stuff that are considered alright can be not mutually exclusive. I feel like I'm annoying or arrogant for always feeling the need to express this train of thought WHEEZE. It's not that I think little of my work, it's more like I'm shocked that other people don't.

And idk if this has some weird underlying 'perception of fancontent has become weird' or 'society has made you think that theyre entitled to your mind' or 'dude this is just regular fandom experience' thing going on, frankly I dont really care WHEEZE. I just wanna say genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, I am confused as to why 300ish people are in my house and liking the couch with pillows I made to specifically accommodate this 45 degree scoliosis I got but I'm glad you like cotton yarn and memory foam. That's how the situation is to me HAHAHAH

#sera rambles #stuff from mind #its new years and im confused as to how yall came to perceive me #im not very famous but it is still astounding how i barely know any of my readers slash viewers #thanks for inflating my very confused ego ig?

So I've been thinking lately about how Mithrun is Kabru's dark mirror (more on that another time- it needs its own post), and I thought it interesting that one of their parallels is that they were both cared for by Milsiril, but in opposite directions. She took Kabru in as her foster after he was orphaned and tried to convince him not to become an adventurer. On the flip side, she helped rehabilitate Mithrun specifically so that he could rejoin the Canaries.

And I kept wondering: why?

For Kabru, obviously she loves him a whole lot- despite any other shortcomings in their relationship, I do believe that.

So I get why she tries to convince him not to go dungeoning, and, failing that, at least prepares him as thoroughly as she can.

But why help Mithrun? She used to hate Mithrun, but after realizing what a secretly twisted person he was, she actually thought of him more positively (oh, Milsiril). So it wasn't as if she held the kind of grudge that might motivate her to make his already-depleted life even more miserable by sending him back to the dungeons. And it wasn't that she felt bad for him either, since she didn't visit Mithrun for the first ~20 years of his recovery.

The Adventurer's Bible says that Utaya was the impetus for Mithrun returning to the Canaries, but Milsiril is the one who made the trip to see him and tell him about it.

Why would Milsiril work so hard to get her old coworker back into fighting fit? Why encourage him to return to such a dangerous lifestyle, when she was the one who chose not to mercy-kill him?

That last panel is such a crazy thing to hint at and then never elaborate on. Without it we could have just thought that Milsiril wanted the Canaries' work to continue without her, even if it seemed out of character. I think some people even assume she's just a natural caretaker as a foster mom and handwave it to include nursing Mithrun too. What could Milsiril's suspicious motives be? What does she gain from Mithrun joining the Canaries that isn't an altruistic desire to see dungeons safely sealed? Feeling a sense of responsibility for the work she left behind isn't an ulterior motive.

My theory is: Milsiril, knowing that Mithrun was empty save for the burning desire to face the demon again, wound him up like a clockwork doll and pointed him back at the dungeons.

Hoping that he'd eliminate the biggest threat to Kabru's life, before it was too late for him.

Milsiril the puppetmaster.

#Mithrun #Milsiril #Kabru #btw I'm working with the only translations I could find sorry #so keep that in mind #like it just seemed WEIRD to me #that gloomy introverted Milsiril #who left the life of a Canary behind #decided to do this Canary-adjacent work of helping this guy #maybe the queen made her do it because so many people died and they needed more Canaries idk! #but why would anyone pick Milsiril as a life coach? I really think it was her own choice #it's so interesting how we get these hints of a downright sinster Milsiril #I really like the complicated relationship she and Kabru have #struggling to fully humanize him from her elven perspective #but still taking him seriously wrt: his fears over being a monster or his desire to go to a party! #crazy stuff there #everything about Kabru and adjacent to Kabru is insane what a character

Consider (because it's funny):

Ghosts can fuck with technology due to ectoplasmic interference, right? So any video and audio recordings of them come out sketchy and unreliable.

Halfas do the opposite.

Anytime they're caught on camera, the video looks like all the settings have been dialed up past max. The electronics take in so much information at once, and that's reflected in their results. Every video looks like a poorly edited, shit post from early Vine with bright flashing colors and high contrast. All the audio recordings pick up every single fucking sound in the nearby area, so people can't possibly even begin to sort out that creepy ghost voice they heard amidst the cat yowling, car engines, and children screaming from two streets over.

This is literally the only reason nobody believes Wes when he tries to prove Danny is Phantom.

Every piece of evidence he gathers looks like he shoved together random pictures, videos, and sounds from the internet that probably gave his computer the worst viruses known to man. And it's not like he's a tech forensic scientist! He can't sort through this shit to get to what he knows is groundbreaking proof. He's literally loosing his mind.

(And to make it worse, people are telling him he should take a computer course to learn some basic tech skills due to how god-awful these pictures and videos are.)

#danny phantom #pondhead blurbs #wes weston #danny fenton #wes is losing his mind cause people think he's shit at editing stuff #and making stuff up for attention #he's gone through three cameras this year and has to take meds for migraines from taking pictures of danny #but fuck it he WILL figure out how to get solid proof

What did they do to you

#first image is botw and second image is totk #this did confirm my hunch that Link kind of.. matured? got more formal?? #I noticed his dialogue options in totk are shorter and more formal compared to the funny ones in botw :( #it’s a very subtle change. he is a little silly sometimes when he says stuff like saying ‘I am indeed’ when a kid asked if he was a voe #or a very enthusiastic ‘nope!’ when asked if he used a sand seal to get to Gerudo town #anyway don’t mind me I’m rummaging thru my notes and screen recordings because I’m chewing on this fucker like he’s a chew toy #It makes me wonder if this is him falling back into his persona from pre calamity #but he already went thru botw with amnesia and he doesn’t need to be as stiff anymore.. if anything he’s more relaxed abt it #tell me what u think #botw #totk spoilers #tears of the kindom spoilers #tears of the kingdom #totk #legend of Zelda #loz #yapping

sure it was a perfect storm of a pressure cooker but i promise destiel was about destiel

#like 2020 was all building towards something. the isolation the pandemic the general uncertainty of day to day life #toss in the heated election and counting process. sure it *couldve* been anything else. but it *wasnt*. #it was destiel. that night there were even other rumours circulating about other shows. another show even had a huge reveal! #but the most widespread and known was destiel because of course it was! because thats what everyone was losing their mind over! #look at the statistics chart of a history of destiel interest over time! i promise the destiel interest is about destiel! #were people all equally invested? no! were some people memeing? yes! but by and large nov 5th became a juggernaut bc of destiel #as someone who literally was refreshing for election news and developed mania from seeing destiel go canon. it was about destiel #sure the intersection of destiel and election results was fun. but i posted way more destiel than election stuff. cause it was about destie #anyway. idk why im on a soapbox #char speaks #destielputinelection #destiel

That's a roundabout way of asking "is it okay to be trans" Xion

#xions supernatural transgenderism is so important like genuinely #like she was specifically designed with a teenage boy in mind #to absorb his memories & stuff #and like yeah the intended explaination for her being a girl is probably bc of her primarily absorbing soras memories of kairi #but also. those are memories from SORAS perspective so 🤨 #also i think its frankly impressive that xions newly forming heart ended up female despite her groeing up in an enviourment of 90% guys #the only other woman here is larxene and she fucks off to CO and dies almost immediately after xions joins #anyway thats not the point the POINT IS i love her and i hope she gets to feel comfortable in her own skin as herself going forward #xion #axel #lea #kingdom hearts #kingdom hearts 3 #kh #kh3 #art #my art #xanders art #digital art #fan art
