#the people feel no hope of escape

[simonsoys]

Another night conceptualizing Swap and Fell as if they were slight deviations in events in the 100 years since Asriel/Chara died, that led the characters to different roles/attitudes, rather than being core personality changes... 

Everyone is still who they are, but in different stages of desperation

hghghg everyone needs a hug still

#swap - asgore went to the ruins and has collected the six souls there #no one outside of the ruins has seen a human in 100 years #the people feel no hope of escape #but are all faking a smile to take care of the friends and family they still have #in the end you give them genuine hope and something to cherish #fell - the other six kids did murder runs but were stopped by asgore #the populace is severely depleted and monsters' peaceful natures are being challenged as weakness #even towards each other #collective cultural ptsd #in the end you show them choosing peace can be strength in its own way #a story of hopelessness and trauma and frisk still being the good kid that leads them out of it #ughghg #simon says a lot of things #simon undertalks

calling it right now that season 3 starts like this

#so confused about people saying the season finale feels like the end because to me it didn't at all #there's like 5-10 issues immediately set up for another season #they're in a happy place at this point because they've both realized their love is bigger than anything else #and makes it worth working on their problems together #the problems are still very much there #both of them have deep self esteem/self loathing issues that haven't been resolved in the week since ed woke up #ed doesn't know about stede's trauma #they haven't talked through anything #and they'll be shit at starting/running an inn lmao it's not gonna go well #and those are just some of the internal issues #then there's prince ricky and all the authorities that would very much like to get their hands on both blackbeard and stede bonnet #because stede just full-on kept using his government name after faking his death. nice one #the crew are not “gone” they're more like off to college for a bit but will probably run into trouble immediately #again because while they escaped to the ship they didn't eliminate the threat (the british empire) #it's not a forever goodbye #ok this got super long already anyway i have a whole fic marinading in my brain until i've finished these 4 wips i'm in the middle of ✌️ #hope we get a renewal soon because i want to see the rest of their story!! #ofmd s2 spoilers #ofmd s2 #ofmd #our flag means death

having a very rough night so raph doodles needed to be made

when in need, mash two interests together

#i love him so muhc ghghgh #and uh please stop sending me asks straight up demanding me to draw more /nm #if u've sent me an ask just regarding art before pls dont feel anxious this is about people actually DEMANDING like im some sort of machine #im absent due to my work/mental health situation going up and down #tmnt will ofc always be special interest but right now its in the back row #theres little time for anything but work and meetings and thinking about work and.. well.. monster hunter escapism egsfkhjhh.. #but yeah i promise im still here #and i want to draw him when i can #but stress is high right now and drawing takes too much wrist stamina to do often now #i hope u understand #sorry if i worded myself badly im very tired and stresed n its ... oh its 5am great. wellp. goodnight skafklgsjdklfnshh #my art #rise of the tmnt #rottmnt #nordidia art #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt raph #id in alt text #also one would think my art style is easy on my wrist but #i gorilla grip my pen and when i learned to write as a child i held the pencil jank #and it stuck like that #so its really rough on my hands #sadly

so, now that shit's deteriorating further, probably from even more constant stress, that i'm officially in the"i just leave my body without my say so and stop moving and don't realize this has happened full blown catatonia style" and "pockets of missing time" stage, which, by the way, is fucking scary as shit to Live in that reality, maybe my doctor can finally convince the insurance company i'm worthy of a fresh MRI/brain scan to survey just how much brain damage pre-existing schizophrenia multiplied by a long covid-caused seizure is going on at this point.

regardless if if there's anything we can really DO about it? but. yanno. it'd be nice. if nothing else, i can enrich the data for all the long term consequences of this vile cesspit of country not giving a shit about anything but money and eugenics

#sporadic warbling #i just hope it doesnt progress further or get much worse than this #its hard to convey online what my current reality really is like and i kind of do not want to anyway #i wish could fly away and never return #actually i wish my family could wake up and change for the better so i wouldnt have to want escape that would actually be my wish but #hm. crying now. #i am thankful that the spaces of time im apparently doing things around the house im basically just engaging in Normal Behavior #usually doing chores? on total autopilot? or preparing food and then just leaving it behind #i just. have no memory of it. at all #that's so scary. #and it makes me feel very vulnerable around people i do not reliably feel existentially safe around and with good reason

FRANCIS LAWRENCE RELEASE THE EXTENDED CUT!!!!!

#so i just got out from seeing tbosas for the first time #and it was bloody fantastic #probably my least favorite of the films but still amazing in its own right #but i couldn't escape the feeling that there was a lot more to this film that wasn't shown #and i don't just mean scenes from the books that were cut completely (although that's part of it) #i personally wanted to see more of the covey in the film #i don't wanna get my hopes up that they'll actually release an extended cut tho cause that would just be too awesome #so for now i'll just scream into the void while lusting over tom blyth #and hope that maybe someone important will hear me and let francis know what the people want #i can't believe no one's talking about the scene where they showed coryo [redacted] at the beginning of the film (iykyk)😏 #the ballad of songbirds and snakes #the hunger games #coriolanus snow #tbosas #lucy gray baird #thg #sejanus plinth #coriolanus x lucy gray #coriolanus x sejanus #lucy gray x coriolanus #snowbaird #lucy gray #tbosas spoilers #president snow #tom blyth #josh andres rivera #tigris snow #hunter schafer #rachel zegler #the hunger games series

i love all of you, thank you for everything

#wishing you so much happiness like #this site and fandom is escapism for a lot of us #and its great but like #you deserve so much out of your real life #and i hope you achieve all your goals #and find people who make you feel loved and valued #you deserve it

having upsetting thoughts about the “live” ending

#what would he think? would he think the audience just wants to see him suffer for as long as he's entertaining? #how do you feel being dragged away knowing you're going to loose every memory you've ever had after just getting them all back? #how do you come to terms with the fact that you *begged* to die and they refused you? #do you think h'ed fight back? or just accept his fate silently and let himself be dragged away by showfall's drones? #sorry genloss is giving me such severe brainrot #it hurts me so good #honest to god want to write stuff for this and i am not a writer #shut up virgil #genloss #like you know if chat picked live it'd be because we couldnt stand to kill him/had *some* kind of hope he could escape eventually #but he wouldnt know that #he'd just think that however many people (hundreds? thousands? he doesnt know) wanted him to suffer #i so fucking wish gl!ranboo could know just how badly chat wanted to find a way to save him #GENUINELY almost tied the poll 50/50 to find any other option than kill him or have him suffer #uwahhhhhhhh

[television-overload]

I hope my coworker isn't ever on NCIS tumblr because I'm about to tell you I just mentioned NCIS in the break room and excitedly told her about the Tiva spinoff, and she said "ugh" and talked about how much she dislikes Ziva and how her character "made no sense" LOOOOL

#i changed the conversation topic as fast as possible haha #it seems she fundamentally misunderstands Ziva's purpose as a character and her character arc #or fails to see how it is inspiring #like she escaped her awful family and made something of herself other than a killer #that's the whole point #her argument was that it made no sense that the team would ever accept the sister of the guy who killed kate #like..... the fact that they did is why its an emotional moving piece of fiction #but ok lol #tiva #ziva david #at least i can rest easy knowing shes not one of the dozens of people reading my fic when i see her on ao3 in the break room 😂 #anyway I dearly hope she isn't on tumblr but she is hi! no hard feelings! lol

[frogs-in3-hills]

i’m playing 999 right now it’s very cool :]

#i really like the escape room style puzzles! i do hope they get a little more challenging though #the characters are hmmm they’re okay so far. it’s harder to get attached because we don’t spend as much time with them #but they still feel kinda like danganronpa characters so you’re just like ‘okay you’re a POS and you’re a POS and you’re a POS...’ #i desperately want to find out Why Lotus Is Like That #and i’m wondering if this is like a ‘and then there were none’ situation where one of the people who die early turn out to be the ringleader #thinking about the ‘futility’ reference and how one of them would have predicted the nonary game #interesting stuff >_> #sully is typing #i’ll start a liveblogging tag in case i feel like plopping some theories on here. don’t spoil me!! #zero escape liveblogging #ze

[tmos-time]

everyones always like oh this would fix eridan, that would fix eridan. i think i could get him to listen to colin stetson and get past the conniption he gets recognizing himself in the sound of the panic-calm music with ocean themes and "history of warfare" albums and come out the other side slowly figuring out a way to be a better person

#tmos talks #but watch out because dear god you'd have to curate the ones he listens to in such a specific order #you CANNOT let him listen to 'home' before he hears 'when we were that what wept for the sea' #you MUSTNT let him hear 'the righteous wrath of an honorable man' or 'all this i do for glory' before he can connect the idea of-- #-- 'and it thought to escape' being about hope and what that means to him with his magic complex #he needs that perfect balance for it to click in his head that. fuck. magic is just giving a shit. #real magic is listening to 'long before the sky would open' with rapt curious attention and feeling the light come back in your eyes #real magic is hearing yourself in 'from no part of me could i summon a voice' and realizing another person made something like this. that-- #-- maybe people can. DO understand. that shit is hard #and he can listen to the lighthouse iii after it all as a treat. that can be the finishing touch of a song i think #anyways lol ✌

<3

#sending you all so much love #it's crazy how a year has zipped by #every so often i'll come by and check up on the dash and i love seeing all the familiar names <33 #I'll prolly write a more official post in the new year at some point #but im so eager for this work contract to end at the end of this year #im grateful for the job in many ways but in others it was really burnt me out and drained me #ready to turn a new leaf in the new year #and hopefully get some of my creative motivation back when my mind clears #ive put even art/painting on the sidelines as well this year which is something im sad about #but on the positives I think ive had a lot of personal and emotional growth this year that im really proud of!! #(still dont have a driver's license though.. LOL OOP) #and ive really worked on my anxiety and depression. like even if this job is burning out and depressing me// I don't feel DEPRESSED ya kno. #ive just been experiencing a lot of personal growth and change #and the people around me in my life have told me that they've seen changes in me this year too so :') #BUTTTTTT #I so so miss my creative outlets and I feel like I've neglected that this year #I went from escapism to fully avoiding the outlets so now I think it's time to transition into the healthy middle #anywaaaay #hope yall have been doing amazing #love u all and ill probably pop in here for the holidays <33 #blows u all kisses #ooc #tbd

[criticaaaaaaaal]

me about to read a shadowpeach fanfic only to notice that its tagged with “wukong is a bad person” or “wukong traumatized macaque” or “wukong hate club” or anything akin to that

#critical watches monkie kid #OK . OK I WILL SAY: #i totally understand evil/dark wukong aus. i get it. i like them. i appreciate them. i understand #and i can see WHY ppl write them. wukong is a character you can make mean easily #and mac is a character a lot of people relate to #and a lot of people really like him (i do too!) #i can see WHY ppl dote on him in fanfics or make him very much a victim of outside things #i see you and i appreciate you #but also i just. man. i feel like people forget that wukong is actually a good person and just want to always write him as this - #one dimensional abuser or something #and again : if you DO want to just write him as that as a fic au or SOMETHING by all means go ahead #no hate here #i think im just. :( i just wanna read a fanfic i guess where wukong isnt this one dimensional monster #if youre gonna make him evil/dark but keep it in line with the original characterizations (esp the ones in monkie kid) at least ......... #idk ......... make it like . make it more then one dimensional? gah #this post is spurred on by the fact i saw a fanfic a lot of shadowpeach ppl were chatting about #and i looked into it (i havent read it. yet. i might) #and it seems to have the same premise of macaque is trying to escape wukong who is a nasty abuser! #and like. ok. im SURE its a lot more than that (i hope) #i jusssssstrttttttt #blaarghhhh

#ive lost like 3 followers recently #i know i lost one a while ago because i offered the most milquetoast critique on the tumblr darling pirate show #but now ive lost 3 more #and i wonder what did it #did you realize im not an apologist for white tenderqueers and go? #or was it the nonstop palestine content? #did the genocide across the world get too much for your sensitive sensibilities and you had to unfollow me #and look away from the brutality in a way that the people on the ground are not so privileged as to escape from it #i hope i lose all of my followers before i ever become like that #i hope every one of you unfollows me before i ever stop talking about palestine #i hope this blogs follow list becomes a graveyard before i ever stop talking about the palestinian people #feel free to unfollow me right now if you think looking away from this is acceptable

[squuote]

I made a post bout the skip button ending a while back and I deleted it a while ago but I desperately wanna redo it cause I’m interested in what others think but man I cannot find the words for it at all lmaoo

#delete later #LMAO I JUST REMEMBERED IT #I rlly should have saved a reblog to drafts before deleting it #but basically it was along the lines of #a person who feels trapped in a situation may see a solution and just go for it- #-before trying to find other solutions. and most of the time that solution might not be an actually good one #I still feel like I’m wording that wrong though #the concept of stanley seeing the skip button as the only means to escape this ending #and not directly as a way to truly hurt the narrator #because stanley is the one trapped in that room/in the parable #and in times of feeling trapped you may reach for an option that feels like your only hope #or a solution that gives you back some sort of control #so I think the portrayal of the skip button and the zending kinda speak to this idea in an odd way #the feeling of being trapped and seeing a way out and going for that without thinking #though in the end this is me very heavily projecting my own stuff onto these endings #because I’ve been in that position before a few times and I know what it’s like #it doesn’t mean your bad for doing it but I think some people don’t understand it well #it is essentially just me explaining rash decisions in serious situations #yeah stanley should have waited with the narrator but in moments of uncertainty- #-people react in their own ways. idk shrugs I still don’t know if I’m making sense or not #maybe I’ll just keep it here in the tags lol

[katyspersonal]

Cool.. Our rent price got raised. :') I did not know it was even possible to get even MORE poor than me and mom already were, but here we are. Guess I'll start surviving on literal bread and water at this rate.

#/vent #personal #no but when will things stop getting worse? #in moments like this I feel especially bitter thinking about that asshole that went to me like: #'wahh wahh katy i won enough money in the court to buy everything I want but it doesn't matter because I can't buy YOU uwu' #*ten days later* 'actually I don't want a friend/sister anymore can you please stay in your bum spot and simply be my- #-online friend and listen to me ramble about my interests without any regards to yours and show off how cool my life is to you like always? #like no I am not materialistic but when people make dramatic promises of this kind they better stick to them #'nooo but you MUST get out of russia!!!' bitch how? I can hardly afford enough food let alone travelling and living abroad #anyways yeah I am done using the guy that pretended to want a better life for us both and then turned tail as a core for venting #sorry it just makes me angry #not so much living in powerty and not being able to crawl out of debt and my life state no matter what #but more about a very consistent trend of having friends that one day get RICH and dump me as 'lower class' right after that happens #he is not the only one like that in my life he is just the most recent one #really speaks about how unlikeable I am if people lose interest in me as soon as they can buy happy things instead #shows that my worth as a human being is super low and I only work as entertainment when people can't buy something to do that instead #like videogames food travels objects books etc etc... #I am just below those things and less interesting than those things and I'll die early hahaha lol #hopes are that supernatural luck power that doesn't want me to escape easily will send me something to help. because yeah my situation- #-is B A D.

[starlooove]

Why are people surprised that Zionists are being abhorrent at these protests and then sayin they’re victims. Ig surprised isn’t the right word but people keep pointing out ‘this doesn’t make sense’ like it’s a fallacy in a discord debate like this is just how racism has always been

#sometimes I feel like no matter how much I donate or speak its not enough #but my hopelessness and depression do nothing for Palestinians either #even if I cry it’s not helping at all #even if donating doesn’t feel like enough it gets someone THAT much closer to escaping #but Im so so sick of this #specifically the way people keep trying to give Zionists the benefit of the doubt #like i understand calling out the hypocrisy but white people genuinely seem baffled that they victimize themselves and say they’re afraid #whilst doing heinous shit #that’s not new behavior #trying to educate Zionists does nothing my focus is always going to be on the Palestinian people and how I can help as materially as #possible #actually bad wording education isn’t useless #i just think approaching most Zionists in a humanizing way doesn’t help #trying to start on common ground and coax them to you #that works for ignorant people these people are cruel not stupid #These Justifications that we know are terrible and barbaric make sense to them bc the victims are brown #like it seems like y’all wanna avoid that point so bad and keep speaking on class or other shit #the root of the matter is that they can piss on graves and say they’re scared because that’s the narrative around brown people #it always has been to them! to a lot of you! #i know it’s not conflating to draw comparisons between oppressions but not in the mindspace for that so I’ll just say #for all the white people confused about the ‘logic’ there just take a look at history #recent history even like the way they treat us is not new this is just on such a wide violent scale yall finally cant ignore it anymore #i hope everyone gets what they fucking deserve from this #i hope every martyr can rest easily and that every single soldier and bystander involved in this fucking rots and burns
