This is probably gonna sound dumb but I’m from the pnw so this is like a legitimate concern lmao. They should have like, weed cessation programs

#the sheer amount of people I know who are addicted to weed is nuts #and it is an addiction and no one can tell me otherwise. #there are withdrawal symptoms and everything #it’s just sad tbh #there’s a limit to what is normal lmao

[possamble]

Do you have any songs you associate with the group and or a particular DunMeshi character? I have a few I associate with Laios and Kabru (mostly Hozier tbh) but been having a harder time for Falin, Marcille, and even Thistle.

the way this launched me into a day long project of making playlists lmfao

This one I haven't curated super well, but I think i put it in a general progression that makes sense. Unfortunately I have a very small range of music that I listen to so Falin just turned into my millionth Sara Bareilles/Ingrid Michaelson themed girlie LMAO

Highlights on this playlist for me:

"Let the Rain" is just an entire mood for post-canon Falin I think. the line that hits the hardest about her for me is "and I always felt it before, that the world was filled with much more than the drowning soul I've learned to be."

"Twenty-three" i know i know i know it's kpop and no one's gonna get the lyrics but I couldn't not put it on the list. it's literally about being 23 and not knowing what kind of "woman" you want to become and still feeling like you want to be a kid a little bit and wanting to be understood but knowing that you don't even understand yourself and feeling like you're running out of time because you're firmly in your 20's now

"Secrets" i know is incredibly personal to Mary Lambert but most of the lyrics really fit and that like... intensely joyful self expression is just so delightful and lovely and what i want for Falin in the post-canon.

"I Am Here" to me, is just the ultimate celebration of being alive, of being joyful and grateful and happy that you're a messy animal that can laugh and hurt. I think Falin would cherish being half-monster, the fact that it gave her a second chance at choosing to be alive rather than sacrificing herself for others and letting that be her entire story, and the freedom it gives her to keep living.

you have to promise not to judge me on this one. you have to. yes i went ahead and curated an entire playlist that has okay-ish transitions/flow between songs and thematically follows Marcille's journey through the story. i also put a bit of kpop on it but it FITS okay she's a girly girl!!!!

It's rough. it's really really rough right now and i'll probably come back to it but the concrete songs i was trying to build around are like...

"What is Love?" it's literally just a girly girl song about wondering what love might feel like. complete with daydreaming about romantic stories and hoping all that wonderfulness will happen to you.

"Men of Snow" okay i know it's Ingrid Michaelson again but hear me out. this song is so fucking heartbreaking. it can be taken in different ways but if you put in Marcille's context it's gutting. it's a song about mortality and the impermanence of everything set to an almost cutesy waltz-beat piano accompaniment.

"Que Sera, Sera" self-explanatory, I think. im lucky this cover is on spotify because it's such a perfect song for encapsulating the entire sequence where Marcille decides to become the dungeon lord. (the second iteration at the end of the playlist is happier, taking the happy and calm interpretation of "what will be, will be", and also includes the second verse about a "sweetheart")

"What Sarah Said" it's a song about being in the ICU waiting for news about a loved one while suddenly realizing that there's nothing you can do. i think almost every line in this song guts me about Marcille, picturing her waiting for Falin to wake up the second time. (it's also my very pretentious attempt at tying the playlist together by answering the earlier question. What is love? "Love is watching someone die.")

"The Last Snowfall" is just. Vienna Teng has been my favourite artist since I was fifteen and part of it is that she has this incredibly beautiful way of leaving lyrics impactful but ambiguous. This song isn't about being afraid of losing someone but miraculously getting a happy ending, it's just an exploration of that fear with a "what if" built in, and I just think it's such a good way of capturing how Marcille was prepared to lose Falin and that was so important, almost even more important than the fact that it ended up being a happy ending anyway. also I wish i could have put in the live version because it's insane

For Thistle the only recommendation I have is Bird Song by Florence and the Machine it's wonderfully eerie, i literally think it's the best musical depiction of that specific kind of guilty murderer anxiety of "the telltale heart" from edgar allan poe

#asks #dungeon meshi #playlists #my taste in music is super limited i know i know #shush #and don't come after me for the kpop okay #it's really hard for me to keep korean songs out of my playlists bc they're just like. normal music to me #my one-sided falin pining playlist is just fucking loaded with the saddest korean songs you'll ever hear lmao #i always joke about how my internal emotional infrastructure is made out of vienna teng and crj songs #but surprisingly carly doesn't make many appearances in my dunmeshi playlists #ostensibly the vibe fits marcille but the inherent honest horniness kind of just bounces off her virgcel ridiculousness #also im not a Disney Adult i promise #that one song from tangled just has exactly what it takes to become 10x more eerie and tragic within the context of the resurrection #marcilleposting

do you ever think about how even though chell is the only living being in aperature, the robotic facility is somehow more alive than her. all chell has done is the rigorous testing originally designed by the scientists for robots they deemed unfeeling and unthinking, but now that they are gone we can see turrets that were built for destruction composing beautiful symphonies based on a love they were never thought to originally have, p-body and atlas have moments of interaction that show how much they can care about each other in their limited capacity for communication, and even glados slowly comes around on caring about chell. free from those who would do them harm, aperture has outgrown its original limitations and become something greater than it was ever designed to be

I THINK ABOUT IT ALL THE FUCKING TIME ARE YOU KIDDING ME. the idea of chell as a contrast to apertures humanity is SO INTERESTING TO ME because the facility is just positively teeming with life and humanity-- glados and wheatley joke, they have emotions like relief and happiness, anger, jealousy, insecurity-- they lash out when angry and cower and beg for mercy when terrified and, when really and truly confronted with what theyve done, they feel remorse. the turrets beg for their lives and forgive and the personality cores display charisma and arrogance and enthusiasm and for the 400 billionth time everything SINGS to you and chell exemplifies little to none of that. when shes hurt or terrified or remorseful she doesnt show it, she just trucks right on because she has a single goal in mind and by god is she going to execute it. and the idea of the human character being the cold, calculating, goal oriented one who doesnt show fear doesnt show remorse while all the robots are the ones loving and losing and realizing their own personhood makes me so jdflsjksjdfgdfgdkjfgksjdfioesruto435609568039485234i3t][er[;]23[4p][234;r23[4]5p45;6][7456. like. while the facility forces the devices to grow beyond their capabilities and intended functions it forces chell to grow beyond her humanity into this fearless, tenacious specimen that knows what it wants and isnt going to let mortality stop her. i think im goign to throw up

#aperture outgrowing its limitations also makes me nuts because those limitations are very much still there #glados has full control over the facility and yet has to answer to it when it claims shes too corrupted to continue functioning #wheatley is in constant fear of repercussion when theres no one around anymore to even doll out those consequences #personality cores long for things that their structure will never allow them to accomplish (aside from. space core i guess. lmao) #(ALTHOUGH SPACE CORE HAS A LOT OF LINES WHERE HE SUGGESTS HES GETTING BORED OF WHAT HE WAS MADE #TO DO. WHICH WAS ENJOY SPACE. SO ONCE AGAIN THERES ANOTHER INSTANCE OF APERTURE DEVICES #GROWING BEYOND THEIR INTENDED CAPABILITIES) #like! they are the facility and yet they are still trapped by it nonetheless. the scientists might be dead but theyre still #a looming presense because they were always supposed to be a looming presense in the minds of the machines they created. fuck. #also i dont think chell is literally inemotional i think shes actually a strangely forgiving person considering. everything #otherwise why save glados from the bird why reach out for wheatley in the end. yk #im normal. about this 16 year old game series.

actually went to pride this year lol

#feat. the trans and rainbow bracelets i made. also a rainbow tie and a temporary tattoo they were giving out for free #(ignore the spanish bracelet lmao thats just one i wear normally) #anyway yeah it was rlly fun! there was a drag show and a punk band and a load of small artists on the main stage #also somebody gave me their number (in a friend way) and i dont know when im supposed to call them. what is the normal time limit

#it's brian colson i believe (unless it's colsen. but i think colson) but clearly this is clearer #the book was killing me & i'm telling you brian especially. his whole thing is being So nervous about everything all the time #which maybe that's meant to be due to [you Did die; alarmingly] but it really does just seem like Mostly personality #the cadence & content of the exchange where he's bemoaning getting paint on his clothes off to the side lays me tf out #just the dynamic like brooke & zeke are Speculating abt Schemes & Ghosts & being hilarious too; here's tina joining in; also magical #while multiple times people just completely in stride And in earnest respond to brian's complete focus on his paint stains issue #goosebumps the musical #also getting Thank You For Being A Friend points like enduring the deadly trapdoors & mystery of; for all he knew ig; a whole other ghost #he has no stake in that beyond just genuinely helping out / providing what moral support he can lol #and You Know What They Say. you probably could've revealed your ghost status & destiny & Just Asked lmao #but maybe he was too nervous like think i'll have to Haint Style Steal Your Breath or sm shit b/c that's easier than a ghost reveal convo #is that a george costanza style approach? i have never seen a full seinfeld episode. no limits to the time/effort/complexity in avoiding #some comparatively more minor issue / hurdle? i understand the like archetypical achievement character of all time in that for sure.... #like yeah they Are alarmed by the apparent ghost / apparent guy who wants to kill them / you as Actual Ghost but they roll w/it too #cracking open goosebumps of all time The Ghost Next Door... #i also need to crack open (press play) goosebumps the musical phantom of the auditorium original studio cast recording again soon #brian's pleeease let this be a normal field trip to brooke & zeke's beep beep seatbelts everyone! dream team for real #completely innocuous haunting except there's a separate totally unrelated guy taking a totally counterproductive approach to things.... #scooby doo villaining it will Not bring the meddling kids!! if i act scary to said kids they'll learn anything besides that I'm scary!!! #bring emile back here like yeah we'll cover for you for real though. appeal to tina's theatre devotion like become frenemies to friends fr #goosebumps ghosts you Do just fulfill your Purpose & then Transcend but brian was just a guy hanging out prior. could do that again

[dekupalace]

would you climb mt. ebott? followup.. do you think siffrin would, either?

probably! ignoring the whole tales down under I love hiking and I think it would be fun to climb and see the views from up top and stuff...I am not a fan of falling and dying though so I will not be going to any undergrounds thank you

pregame sif would climb for probably a lot of reasons. pregame but post meeting the party sif would climb with them cause that REALLY looks like a cool place for an orb yknow. cool magical quests call for cool mysterious mountains full of secrets

during/post game sif would trip and fall to the underground cause they can't blinding see but it's okay cause the gang goes with them

#i hate how i started putting genuine thoughts into this and had to limit myself on words for my own sanity. normal people when the interests #bonnie and frisk would be friends me thinks...WAIT BONNIE WOULD LOOOOVE UNDYNE #papyrus would absolutely hate the instant friendship between isa sif and sans. the pun squad #toriel voice 'well hello there my children' the gang expect bonnie 'children?' #tori and odile wine buddies (none of the 'kids' know) #alphys mira and isa book club!!!!! mira discovers what magical girls are and alphys just thinks she is one to begin with #isa and mettaton duo and sif and napstablook duo. the dynamics...... #god hold on i cant keep thinking about this ill start to take it seriously LMAO #busy.🐝

Im currently reinstalling BG3 to get all the new patches and whatnot so of course instead of focusing on my previous save where I already reached Act 3 Im thinking of starting a new run instead like... it wont even be that different when Im probably just gonna switch from ranger to druid but I wanna.

Plus, I thought of getting some new hair styles and clothes with mods since I saw so many lovely ones all over yt and tumblr, but Im not sure if it won’t disable my achievements? And I kinda like seeing them so rip new lovely hair styles I guess ;C

#Raksh posts #baldur's gate 3 #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 #Raksh's gaming adventures #also the party limit bygone mod is so tempting #just bcs I have a hard time not takimg Shadowheart and Astarion with me #and when I play my Ranger I Need a frontline heavy hitter so it leaves me with either Karlach or Lae'zel #which is lovely on its own and I really like the party comp #but itd be nice to get some different set ups #and I need Astarion with me at all times lmao #Ive also thought of starting a Durge playthrough but I dunno #kinda wanna play a normal druid tav first and see what differences there are with the patches #bur then again a Durge Druid run might be fun for the contrast #bcs Im incapable of an evil playthrough so itd be a Durge desperately wanting to be good hah #plus all the unique dialogue and cut scenes are super tempting #hmmm #I still have a few hours before the game finished downloading and installing so Im gonna sit on this for a bit #the hair styles mods tho ahhhhh

i wish i’d kept pushing the point (<- vagueposting). im so tired i’m hitting a wall. but why is the answer to feeling bottomlessly lonely just to love myself and be loved by myself? isn’t that only more loneliness?

#purrs #i know being by myself is not aloneness. but like seriously are you actually serious that there is no one coming to save me? that I have to #walk around with this giant gaping wound forever and no one will be able yo close it? i need total nurturance and comfort badly and to have #any less than total is.. well i don’t want to say it’s as bad as having none at all because obviously it’s not true. but it’s still bad. it #makes it harder to ask for more when you already have some and have reached the limit of what you can ask for. i just feel bottomlessly #lonely. i know things will get better. but what i really need is a long hug and a good cry in someone’s arms. not isolating myself in a #cabin for a week (though i know i desperately need that too). like we’re human beings and we can do that for each other so why don’t we? why #can’t we fix each other? why can’t we be nurturing like that and fill the voids for people who have them. and i know it’s rich coming from m #me bc iam skittish like a horse around emotions and also that it’s pitifully expected from me bc i am reading too much into normal experien #nces most people have. but how am i supposed to just accept that i didn’t get the love i needed (even if im romanticizing m*therlove lmao) a #and then move on as if that’s fine? how can i just snap my fingers and be an autonomous adult when ive spent years accruing psychological #damage with the most limited kind of cushioning? when every second brings with it a potential jab to my River of Pain nerve? idk. #i was deeply violently depressed abt this stuff earlier this week but tonight im just quietly sad. i want the stability and certainty of #(unconditional) love. i want my whole future safe and warm and now or at least the ability to trust it will exist which is also called hope. #i don’t want to be alone and wretched anymore.

[todayisafridaynight]

NO YEAH IF ANYONE'S EQUIPPED TO KICK ASS IN THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE IT'S THE ARAKAWAS LMAO

Okay, in terms of Aoki's actual arrest, that would've been chiefly for (as the news ticker says) incitement to murder and, y'know, taking a police officer hostage/assaulting a police officer.

I believe incitement is weighed the same as perpetration. While the gang survived the explosion, Ishioda didn't (I think?), so it's more than "attempted" murder. And because of the number of people involved, it would probably be considered incitement to aggravated murder, which narrows the options to a life sentence or the death penalty (or, at the very least, marks them as strong possibilities).

While normally incitement is difficult to prove (as it would be for most every other instance he did it; Jo would never talk, Ishioda is Kind Of Dead, and for Arakawa Tendo was, yeah, acting of his own accord), they have some pretty solid evidence + probably a confession, given Aoki's intentions to turn himself in.

So in terms of the original question, there isn't really much else that needs to be considered, since it's not like it can get any worse than a life sentence no matter what else he confesses to… Aside from the death penalty, but if Jo managed to avoid one, Aoki probably could? Unless Jo's age was a consideration since realistically a life sentence would probably kill him in the same amount of time it'd take to carry out an execution.

But for the sake of completionism, Suzumori's murder could very much be argued as a case of self-defense. Being assaulted after his body had already been pushed to its limits absolutely could have resulted in his death, so it'd probably be down to possession charges. I can understand Arakawa and Jo being dead set on keeping him out of prison even with that being the case, though; prison lowers the average person's lifespan as-is, and it could very well have killed Masato.

After that it's mostly a laundry list of collusion and corruption charges I'm not crazy enough to unpack, but. Yeah. I think Aoki and Jo would've been in for life… Kinda makes me wonder how it all would've played out if Aoki'd had that change of heart and they spent those last years together and Jo inevitably died first...

essentially, for the Quick Byte version for the mate who initially asked: life sentence if not the death penalty

#snap chats #tbh i think we all lowkey assumed he'd be getting life or death LMAO idk why??? i didnt say that in my iniital ask??? dumb shit ☠️ #i was too focused on trying to explain exactly what he'd be charged with just for clarity sake #i dont think ive made it apparent how thankful i am for your asks when im too lazy to properly answer my own VJLRAKVLKJ SO THANK YOU #esp with the week ive been having.. it seems like a small thing to be grateful for all things considered but i still am #nor could i ever be as thorough as you so i get the same exp as the initial asker now dont i (´▽` ) #moving on from that though. yeah no youd have to like. idk pay me to collect a comprehensive list of what he'd be done in for LMAO #i know american law just fine but i forgot everything i ever looked up when it comes to japanese law #i know statute of limitations on murder isnt a thing anymore.. but i mentioned looong ago that Yeah Suzumori Can Be Argued Self Defense #again the only reason to care for clarification is purely for clarification and just wanting to know yk. yeah we know. #the official charges hardly matters when it's already guaranteed he's going away for life or getting hanged #all of that said. i'll hoard my aoki-reunites-with-jo-in-jail fics and keep them close to my soul.. #im gonna be haunted with that question until i die #how about until i sleep cause MAN all of a sudden i just feel groggy #it is almost like. 1AM tbf. a normal time to be tired to be sure #and yet i still want to stay up......

getting strangely emotional over my physio saying that unless something else happens, we don't need to see each other anymore

#not to sound corny but i think its because i genuinely feel indebted to them #like the me of 2 months ago had basically given up on recovery #i was willing to accept this as the new normal for the rest of my life and live with having fucked it all up in my 20s lmao #looking back on it now is crazyyyyy #i mean im not 100% recovered and i dont think i ever will be #thats just the nature of the injury #its still going to have flare ups and there might be a limit now on what my body is capable of as a result #but its nowhere near what it used to be #and i gotta look at the positives too. core strength has never been better because that was all i could work on in the beginning #and my running has improved massively because it was one of the few activities i could manage #im optimistic i guess. im hopeful but also at the same time absolutely terrified of going backwards #personal

[ablednt]

Thinking about how "portraying cures to disabilities/illnesses as being a reward for good behavior, universally desirable, or have more moral and ethical weight than living with disability is ableist" rapidly and aggressively became "if your disabled characters' conditions change in any way for the better you're erasing disabilities and are ableist" and going a little bit insane

Like y'all the curing disabilities trope is about impractical deus ex machina fixes that are utilized just because the reality of being disabled is viewed as a tragedy. Magically making people sighted or hearing, giving paralyzed people the ability to walk and having them ditch their wheelchairs, or benevolently bestowing missing or restoring parts (often wings) with no regard to how it might work in a realistic (for the setting) scenario. That's it.

The way people act like mobility aids are the only valid way to work with disability in fiction is just so irritating. Like did you forget implants, prosthetics, transplants, medications, and surgeries all exist IRL? None of those things make someone abled and disabled people are not all visibly disabled at any point in time.

It's just so limiting to me and I say that as someone who adores mobility aids both IRL and in fiction. Sorry disabled characters can be nuanced i fucking guess

#ask to tag #big /nbh on this #i just keep thinking abt twitter diskhorse i saw once and am going insane #'this character who is missing a whole magical organ and had to utilize a magical implant to literally not die is erasing disability cause #he can do limited amounts of magic afterwards' and 'this character has an aid that lets them see clearly but is still visibly blind when #not using that aid is ableist magic negates disability' in what world tho #LIKE IM NOT SAYING PPL CAN'T DISLIKE STUFF LIKE THIS #you don't have to personally feel seen or represented and you're free to criticize #but the post i saw was being like !!!! call to action!!! if ur abled you need to fckn CANCEL THIS MEDIA its so horribly ableist fuck you #(<- dramatization the post was annoying but mostly normal nonsense) and its like #uhoh looks like somebody forgot that other disabled people than them exist lmao
