suggestion: if you see a post on social media that you find questionable, double check it

better suggestion: if you see a post on social media that enthusiastically reinforces something you already believed, fucking double check it

it might be right. it might be bullshit. it might be arguably true but presented in an extremely misleading manner. it might be something that could be true but the person's take on it is so completely off-base that the post itself ends up being bullshit anyway.

just. fucking check your sources holy shit. especially if it's political.

#vent post #but fine to rb #seriously guys sometimes people - and this is true - go on the internet and tell lies #and sometimes - and this is also true - those people are doing it bc they support the same things as you or are just wrong #a lot of y'all seem to think misinformation is something done by ''the other side'' to spread evil incarnate #information is spread by people with agendas to promote those agendas #this isn't that hard y'all just google things

Soft Ghoap Thoughts

Don't get me wrong, i'm a feral freak for all the dark!Ghoap content, too. ...but like... lil idiot soft boys who know they love you but also know they love each other and don't know how to use Google to properly define anything between y'all Maybe you met Johnny first and you guys just clicked and then somehow Simon showed up, and now you're all just a sweet little trio And it's not even sexual for the longest time- Simon would be far too traumatized to just go for that and Johnny has his whole manwhore persona, so he wouldn't want to risk pushing you away in the slightest. So you just casually have these two big ass military duded in your apartment (a house? In this economy?) that just casually exist with you. Simon cursing while trying to fix that leaky faucet you've had since before you even moved in, while griping and barking at Johnny to hold the flashlight steady and you're just sitting on the counter watching it all in amusement. (Simon: Bloody hell, just HOLD the thing Johnny: 'm tryin' real hard, LT, real hard Simon: You're clearly fucking NOT and really they're only doing it because of your little giggles and quips as you sit over their shoulder watching, such a pretty baby for them, just bein' around them and blessing them with your presence) Johnny with his arms wrapped around you after a bad day at work and Simon just comes over and flops down nearby like a cat who wants attention but isn't willing to ask for it- so they both just hand around and kinda comfort you, but really they just wanna touch you. You, who is so confused because one minute they're griping and bantering with each other and the next you have Johnny leaving little kisses on your cheeks with a dumb grin while Simon just happily interlocks your fingers with his when you're walking back home from the bar. Simon and Johnny both who are as obsessed and in love with each other as they are you but are too scared to put a label to it in case that's what finally scares you off and they'd rather have some of you than none of you at all. Okay, more soft thoughts coming later <3 I love these war gremlins sm

summary : your boyfriend was perfect, everyone could agree on it... so why were you trying so hard to love him how he wanted you to?

genre : angst, hanbin x afab!reader tws : language, angst author notes : y'all know i love my sad stories don’t play word count : 1.4k

you felt a tear escape your eye, rolling over your nose bridge and splotching against the white pillow case. you fought with sniffling, afraid you'd make the man pressed against your back stir.

you tried to make your pulse race, heart swell, anything that said you loved him more than anything. but, whenever you looked at him you saw someone that shouldn't be yours anymore; it just broke your heart instead.

you stayed up at night imagining all the ways he should make you feel. and it had nothing to do with under achieving because he was the epitome of perfection — really — everyone could contest to your boyfriend being the man of their dreams.

so, why couldn't he be the man of yours?

you were supposed to be the lucky one because he could picture himself marrying you someday. he's said he was prepared to settle down with you, start a family, and be yours forever. he wanted the picquet fences, two and a half kids, to live the dream people strive their whole lives to achieve. you had every door opened for you. with his hand in yours you should feel on top of the world. but, you didn't, and it made you feel as if you were stuck leading him on, trying too hard to love him like he wanted you to.

just like you know you have the privilege to.

but it wasn't enough. however, you didn't know what was either then.

loves supposed to be a two-way-street, a 50/50 between give and take. of course, you knew it would come with sacrifices, nonetheless, wasn't your peace of mind too high a price to pay?

it’s been said that the moment secrets start to pile up — the moment you start to feel on edge around the single person you're supposed to come to for anything — the relationship isn't meant to go on.

you gripped his arm tighter, trying to get warm while being swirled by such cold ghosts. they knew all the secrets you kept at bay during the day. however, once the sun went down, they taunt you as if it's the only thing they were conjured to do.

you couldn't figure out if being alone was worse than feeling alone with him at your side. were you prepared to suck it up; to fake it until you make it? would it, in the end, be like the movies and you have this big epiphany, finally realizing that you did love him?

because you thought you did.

but if this was what love is supposed to feel like, then you couldn't understand why people search their whole lives for a mediocre feeling that just weighs heavy within your gut.

it was seemingly closer to guilt.

this house you two had built together was haunted, and it was getting harder and harder to not look over your shoulder like you've actually done something wrong.

maybe you liked the hurt. maybe you liked knowing that you were yearned for as deeply as he does for you... or maybe that was all the lies it took to make you stay.

you always cursed yourself for being too easy, knowing you deserved better from yourself. more.

would he cry if you pushed your way from his arms, using shallow breaths to try and explain yourself? would he cry if he knew you were leaving?

would you?

you were walking a thin line between this and whatever you wanted it to be. you knew it would be easy to stay, but don't you deserve to feel like you're on cloud nine whenever you see him? if you googled the definition of love and happiness, your picture-perfect relationship wouldn't even be within the search results.

it was gut-wrenching. physically nauseating. there was no way you could face him, looking in his eyes as you said you loved him too, while knowing your palms didn't sweat with anticipation. you’d kiss his lips and think that he was just another man, and that made you ill. you wanted so desperately to be in love with him, that you've caused yourself to hurdle to the bathroom just to lie and say that you ate something bad earlier in the day.

was there something wrong with you? you always thought that there must have been. you had it good — so, so easy — he's what everybody wants, a true gentleman, the definition of husband material: he was good with kids, he respected you, he's confident and always spoke kindly. so, why was it, in reality, so hard?

you found yourself recalling memories that felt good in the moment, but you always had a lingering thought — a rash that burned your skin — that something was off.

“bin, do you love me?”

“more than anything.”

it echoed in your head, swirling your thoughts like a wild tornado, and bouncing off every surface.

“do you love me?”

no. yes. maybe? it was as simple as a couple words, but more complicated than you could have ever imagined. no, you loved the idea of him. yes, he was perfect. and, maybe.

you keep thinking you could. you want to. you’ve willed yourself to. but, did you?

“yes, more than anything.”

did the lies get better the more times they’re worn?

maybe.

you thought it’d be easier if he didn’t. you thought it’d be easier to let go if he only liked you a lot. maybe even less than a lot — a moderate amount?

you found it hard to look at yourself because you played the role so well that you didn’t even know who you were anymore. the perfect girlfriend. the loving wife. the trophy at his side. the flash of the camera that never catches the movie. but, it was sickening seeing someone else’s face staring back at you every time you’d pass a reflective surface.

but if you kept trying to force yourself into the house that never felt like a home, you felt like you’d eventually go crazy — actually, absolutely batshit insane as the plaster whispered to you; words that sounded sweet but never tasted like it.

if there was any reason to get out, it was doubt. and, that’s all you feel when you touch him. as sad as it is, all good things must come to a bittersweet end. were you prepared to let the curtain fall and the ending credits roll? you feared not, but you feared a lot of things.

you didn’t want him to beg you, honestly you didn’t even want him to wake up and see you leaving. maybe you could will the wind to pick up, masking your sounds. you didn’t want him to look down at you with such adoration that it made you rethink the decision that you have never stopped thinking about.

you’ve rarely ever lost the ability of sight — to critically think — but when faced with the pros and the cons of toughing out the relationship, you just felt lost.

you could on and on being ignorant, but what’s love if there’s nothing left to fight for? you didn’t know. and maybe that’s what pained you the most; you didn’t know.

would it be right, or would it be wrong? only time would tell. your decision would tell.

it did tell.

you’d left a letter on the cool countertop, splotched with tears and ink stains. the ballpoint pen still laid next to it as you stared at your signature, your heart. it was romantic, but in reality stupid to romanticize something so cruel. maybe you did love him, and that’s why you had to let him go.

was it undignified to write your words instead of telling him face to face? or did it take strength to do something you never thought you could?

he deserved someone who was prepared to take on everything he could ever want — knowing you couldn’t give that to him washed you with guilt — you knew that anything and everything within the world should be his. you also knew somewhere deep down that it would hurt, maybe he’d even cry for you, but soon he’d see that you weren’t anything special. you were just another girl who would eventually become a footnote in a chapter he’d come to forget about.

he deserved better than artificial i love yous, better than superficial feelings and uncertain heartbeats. he deserved better than cold skin, and pale features. he deserved nonverbal affection and reassurance. he deserved actions and devotion. he deserved a lot, but one thing he never deserved was you.

and you never deserved to receive all of that from him for nothing in return. however, you knew he wouldn’t take it back even if he had the chance to. he loved you like bees love flowers, like the sun loves the moon, like the body needs air, and it made your stomach turn.

you’d found someone so easy to fall in love with, but that’s exactly what you couldn’t do.

My hottest Arknights take is that Kal'tsit is not the one who makes events confusing.

its this fucking dude.

Like. Okay.

People talk about how Kal'tsit is hard to understand and she has these long philosophical monologues referencing oblique lore events and making hints at themes and things, all rendered in Arknights' characteristically bizarre writing style that makes me feel like my reading comprehension is about 30% worse than I normally do.

And yes, it's true, that can be confusing and obtuse. she basically shows up and vibe checks your knowledge of The Lore in the middle of a nice family dinner.

But you don't know true pain until you've been really following an event's narrative and themes so far, investing in the characters' stories, really just tapped in there, and then all of a sudden in the middle of a chat over coffee The Doctor is like

and suddenly the anime girl sitting on the other side of the table is like "ah, i see. when did you know? Have you planned all this from the very beginning?"

and I'm like ??? y'all were LITERALLY JUST GETTING COFFEE TOGETHER, WHY IS THIS HAPPENING????

then they give you like three dialogue options of the doctor saying a perplexing variety of Obtuse Mysterious Smart Shit like [Rhodes Island Operators will continue to pursue the truth.] [When this gets information gets to the Dingleberry commitee the situation will likely change beyond your expectations] [If Jimmyjohn Andrickson knew what you were doing, do you think he'd approve?]

and Im like no. please. no dont do this.

and then the anime girl says some shit like "...heh. you've surpassed my expectations, Doctor of Rhodes Island. I'll call off the trade deal with the Glockenspiels. But you know what this means, right?"

And then the Doctor pulls out their finishing move and says something like

[I do.]

and it's like, well I DON'T! what the FUCK are you two talking about?? that isn't in the story even at all!!

and then your only choice is to cry in impotent rage at the prospect of having to either accept you will never understand the machinations of Lowlight, or spend like an hour and a half trawling back through the weird fucking cognitohazard writing or searching up "arknights what the fuck is happening / what the fuck is happening arknights" on google to put together a like, 60% convincing picture of what the fuck even just occurred

and the worst part is THAT'S YOUR OWN CHARACTER DOING THAT TO YOU TOO!!! that's so fucked up dude!

it feels like this:

On Dieter, Goya's Black Paintings, and Pedro on Talk Art 

Alright y'all, it's Saturday evening, I have nothing better to do (I actually do but I don't feel like it), so welcome to my mini TED Talk about 'how to pay too much fucking attention to the Pedro cinematic universe'. None of this is new, and maybe everybody already knew about this, but I didn't... so here's a nerdy tangent courtesy of googling/wikipedia-ing.

I was reading a Dieter!fic (this one right here by @chaoticgeminate - go read her writing!) earlier today, which refers to the 'Saturn Devouring His Son' painting - that giant mural Dieter is working on in The Bubble:

(his brush isn't even touching the wall tho, ha)

The original 'Saturn' by Goya

The fic mentioned its part of 'The Black Paintings', so I got curious and started googling. I'm no art major or expert, so please allow me to just paraphraze the Wikipedia page. 'Saturn' is part of a group of 14 Goya paintings that are called Pinturas Negras/The Black Paintings. They "portray intense, haunting themes, reflective of both his fear of insanity and his bleak outlook on humanity" --this was late in Goya's life, and was connected to several illnesses he had experienced (and the fear of relapsing) and political turmoil in Spain at the time (post-Napolean war, changing Spanish government, etc.

Trivia fact 1: Goya actually made these paintings right on the walls of the Quinta del Sordo (so-called Deaf Man's villa) where he was staying -- so I love that Apatow had Dieter also paint right on the walls.

Trivia fact 2: while Goya was living in this villa, he actually became gravely ill (again) - not by a pandemic obviously, but it's hard to not link that loosely to the COVID period. He had never intended for these 'Black Paintings' to become public; "these paintings are as close to being hermetically private as any that have ever been produced in the history of Western art" (the murals were eventually transfered to canvas by other folks once he had moved out of the villa). Switching back to The Bubble -- I love how the tragic influence of Goya's illness(es) and art/things 'made at home away from the world, not intended for an audience' (so obviously, in a bubble) has that connection to the COVID experience and how many folks were suddenly homebound, along with the burden of illness in many ways (lord knows this all did a serious number on our mental health). In the movie, Dieter and the others do not want to go into isolation again, but that solitude is what eventually led him to painting on the walls in his room. This is not a 'grand discovery' of any kind, but I got a kick out of the parellels once I read up on it - and honestly makes me appreciate the movie a bit more, haha.

Not happy about another quarantine period.

Alright, more hyperfocusing after the cut:

Some googling led me to a post from last year by @nicolethered (gifs in this post are hers), and she included screencaps of the walls of Dieter's room (during that drug scene), which I hadn't even noticed while watching the movie. Upon taking a closer look, I noticed they're outtakes from other pieces of Goya's Black Paintings! I thought that was really cool, they sure worked on the details with that set (there's one more that's shown in a different shot but I can't exactly figure out which outtake that is):

First one is a mirror image from Two Old Men Eating Soup and the second one is basically Satan aka 'The Great He-Goat' from the Witches' Sabbath painting. Which IMO makes for fucking hilarious perfection a.k.a. trivia fact 3 -- because we all know about Dieter and his little emotional support goat, LOL. Excellent connection.

*insert sound bit from Hot Ones interview* : "Just let me love you!"

Anywaaay there's more. The Bubble was shot during Feb 22, 2021 to April 16, 2021, right? Pedro has spoken about how his input in shaping Dieter was mostly regarding his outfits (the Crocs, the robe, etc). But then I suddenly remember the Talk Art interview he had done in 2018, and how he namechecks 'The Dog' by Goya - and lo, guess which painting is actually part of the 14 Black Paintings? Yeap - the dog! So I checked the podcast and he was asked, 'if you could be any painting, what painting would you be?' by Russell. Here is the painting, and below it is what he said on Talk Art:

'The Drowning Dog' by Goya

"I think… it's a Goya. Yeah, old school. I think it's called 'Dog Buried in Sand' or something like that. It's so… I remember feeling it was such a visual representation of helplessness, in such a… come on, let's all admit that helplessness is a very recurring feeling for many of us, you know what I mean? When it comes to so many things. I guess… I was in Spain, in Madrid, and I was 20. And I went to the Goya museum. What's interesting about it is that the head of the dog is really quite small and sort of adorable, it looks like a stray mutt, and the painting - if I can remember it correctly - is very rectangular. There's so much above him, like the world just seems so big. It's quite incredible, isn't it? I know it's really sad, and sort of dark, and maybe I really like enjoy perceiving myself like..." (He gets interrupted by Russell, and then continues;) "Yeah, he's certainly not dying, it's sort of - it's a moment", (then interrupts himself with;) "Maybe he's totally dying, there's no way that dog is getting out of that. That dog is SO fucked. Anyway, that's the painting that represents my life". (All three of them burst out into laughing.)

If you're still reading this - I am impressed with your dedication to my silly little post, haha. Anyway, I just thought it was so striking that there basically is a straight line from the painting he mentioned in Talk Art to what Dieter is painting in the Bubble. Makes me wonder if perhaps he - or even Russell/Robert - had any input in that part of Dieter's backstory.

Thank you for attending my TED Talk on artistic analysis of Dieter Bravo during COVID, we now resume your regularly scheduled program for Saturday night. 🤪

(Have I been smoking because a local dispensary actually had 'Mando' bud? I sure as fuck have and I blame that for this post.)

[wh0re-in-the0ry]

Types of animals I think the Chuckle/Sorry Boys would be

Note: I don't want to be too obvious, so Schlatt isn't a ram and Phil isn't a crow.

Schlatt-

Schlatt is a bear not the San Fransico kind specifically a grizzly bear. I mean it is pretty obvious when you think about it. Grizzlys are fucking huge, they avoid human interaction whenever possible, they mate maybe once every four years, and they enjoy taking long naps (hibernation). If that isn't Schlatt, I don't know what is.

Ted Nivison-

Ted is a pitbull/labrador mix. These types of dogs are kinda smart, energetic, very playful according to google. Also speaking from experience, these types of dogs are a tad bit silly, a wee bit funny, maybe even goofy if I do say so myself. Just looking at these two and my brain just think they are one in the same.

Slimecicle-

Slimecicle is an octopus. It's mainly because if I didn't know what either of them were and someone was to describe them to me, I would not believe them. I would also like to mention their ability to change appearances in a whim. Octopi have the ability to camouflage as many know, and Charlie's face becomes near unrecognizable without his glasses, also this might just be a me thing, but I feel like his face slightly changes in every photo he's in and it kinda scares me.

Tommy and Wilbur-

Tommy and Wilbur are ferrets. They are long creatures with a lot of energy and are very social animals. Those traits just fit really nicely with them, especially Tommy. The reason I made them both the same animal is 1) I am a sucker for the crime boys and 2) when getting a pet ferret, its highly recommended to get a second one for companionship so having only one ferret on the list wouldn't be right.

Also mildly hot take: I don't think Tommy is a racoon, idk why the fandom collectively agreed he was one. To be fair idk why I think he isn't one besides "the vibes don't fit" but I have a personal theory that the internet had a hyper fixation on racoons and Tommy at the same time, mashed them together, and it just stuck.

Ranboo-

I had the hardest time with Ranboo. A part of me wants to say a cat but specifically the cat in the All My Fellas meme because they are both so silly, but that kind of feels like cheating. After some thinking I settled for something. This one is a little shallow because its purely based on aesthetics but the jellyfish from Finding Nemo (which according to Reddit are the Sanderia malayensis). There's something about it's vibrant shade of pink and floaty-ness that suit R800 in my opinion. They are just neat to look at and pretty cool.

Philza-

Remember how I said Ranboo was the hardest to figure out? Well I lied. Crows are such a key part of Phil's brand, I would even argue that crows are more integral to Phil's brand then Rammie is to Schlatt's brand. I know that's a big claim, but Rammie is its own thing, is it iconic, yes but it can easily be separated from Schlatt. But with Phil it becomes much harder, C!Phil is always depicted as a bird/crow hybrid, in the majority of fanworks he's given crow features, his chat are crows. No matter how hard we try we can't escape the crows.

So, the next best thing was to replace the crow with an animal similar to it. And no, it won't be a raven or another bird because that feels like cheating.

I think rats can replace Phil's crows. Both are very smart animals that are very playful and are also quite social. Rats can symbolize death and plague similar to crows which is in line for the angel of death. They can also be stylized/drawn all cute for marketable plushies. Then there's the fact that rat features are easy to spot and draw, fanartist can easily slap on a couple ears, a tail, and those buck teeth rats have and there we have it: Ratza. Also for the Dadza/found family fans: rats are known to have big families and live in packs. Honestly in another tine line, I can see Ratza working just as well, if not better than Crowza.

. If y'all have any hypotheticals/ideas you guys want me to explore I am open to suggestions :]

I hope you won't mind this in particular because I have no way of posting this anonymously to the critical community outside of making a burner account but I'm hoping that maybe you could share this as you're well respected in the community and may understand where I'm coming from.

It has become increasingly uncomfortable the way I've seen some people in the community comment on Psyche's design. I'm Black, and while I have my issues with the way she's been introduced, her entire character arc, or the fact that she was made into a token character for diversity points, I still find the way part of the community discusses her increasingly uncomfortable and nearing anti-Blackness at times. Really all I want is for non-Black criticals to please be more mindful of their criticisms when it comes to her character. That's all. Some comments are starting to become hurtful, like her current hair being called ugly (which I get isn't done in more creative styles but puff ponytails are a thing Black women wear often) or just the fact that she's Black now at all, she was always brown, the only thing that really changed was her hair texture and eye color. And repeatedly seeing things like "She looked prettier before" when she isn't ugly or "I liked her hair before" it's...uncomfortable, which hurts because I really enjoy this community full of creative and intelligent people. 💔

That's all, thank you for taking the time to read this.

Ouu, this is a great post with some great points, thank you for sharing! I don't mind people sharing their takes through my inbox if it gives them a safe outlet to do so, just so long as y'all don't mind me responding to them!

CW: this is mostly just a very sensitive post regarding race and culture representation in LO so just be aware that this one miiiight be heavy and/or triggering, please please please if anyone has anything to share in response to this just let me know, these discussions are important to have but they can still be emotionally draining and I don't want to make anyone feel upset or invalidated by this lil' essay post!!!

So obviously I can't speak on this as a black person BUT as an Indigenous person, I feel like I would be in your same boat if Psyche were being drawn with Indigenous/Mi'kmaq traits and I saw people going "well she looks UGLY now and she was PRETTIER before." So I can empathize with you there in that regard, people's takes can be a little rough around the edges with this kind of topic.

But I'm willing to give people the benefit of the doubt most of the time when these topics do come up because a lot of the criticisms aren't aimed at Psyche specifically being black or having textured hair, they're aimed at Rachel for suddenly retroactively retconning Psyche from being a dark-skinned/brown Mediterranean woman into a black woman.

Like, straight up, what pisses me off about how Psyche is treated is simply how she's been drawn as 4 different women of color over the course of the comic. Having a hairstyle that changes often is one thing (literally every character in LO lacks consistency) but her hair texture and length is constantly changing (which isn't something you can just change on a whim unless you're Persephone LMAO) AND her skin tone has flip flopped between, again, dark-skinned/ woman and black woman. In some panels she's outright orange which is... ech.

Now, take this with grains of salt because I have no source on it, but I've seen claims that RS once stated she "always wanted to draw Psyche black, but didn't know how to." Besides the fact that this sounds outright lazy (it's not hard to learn how to paint skintones that are not your own, Google exists) it also seems like RS trying to paint herself as "progressive" which she's done for a LOT of things beyond just POC rep (ex. fat rep, mental health rep, etc. all things that she's butchered or misrepresented entirely but still pretended like she was doing well).

Again, I'm giving a lot of benefit of the doubt here and I'm sure I'm gonna be proven wrong on this (I welcome it if there's something I've blatantly missed here, educate me in the comment section below pls) but when I see people say Psyche's hair is "ugly" in the newer panels or they "prefer her old design" I don't see it as them saying the hair style or texture itself is ugly or that she, in and of herself, is ugly. Often times people will short form it to "it looks ugly" especially in the faster-paced discussion circles, but really more often than not they mean "I think the way RS is trying to draw her just isn't good." Especially considering how low effort and lip service-y it feels. Like, Psyche's hair rn is literally just a giant texture brush pressed onto the screen and her skin tones are just brown + brown set to Multiply.

And that design is a far cry from where Psyche started.

Like, these are LITERALLY not the same women and while some might say "well maybe it was after she became a Goddess-" nope, she looked like her S3 version when she turned back into a mortal from nymph form, except she had an entirely different hair texture and skin tone.

None of this is to invalidate anyone's feelings regarding this criticism and how it's delivered. There doesn't need to be an intent to hurt for something to be hurtful. The purpose of this post is more so just to explain my own interpretation of where these criticisms come from (as someone who's had them myself) and how I interpret them as a POC. I don't think anyone's trying to be intentionally malicious to people from the POC community (though they can be blasé) especially considering a lot of the people talking about it are black themselves. No one person is a monolith for the entire community so while some are fine with how Psyche is being drawn, others aren't, and I think both are valid in their own ways. Often times it can come down to individual experiences and what people are used to seeing in media when it comes to POC rep and that's something that will vary per person. I've definitely seen conversations revolve around something being racist towards the Indigenous community that I couldn't care less about because it just wasn't something that I found offensive due to my own upbringing or what I'm used to seeing in media. Doesn't mean I can't still be educated on why it's hurtful to others, though!

All I'm gonna say on it is that, personally, I don't find anything inherently wrong with any of the designs on their own, there's nothing ugly with any of those looks. If they were all each their own character, I'd be down for it, absolutely. It's just the fact that all these designs are for ONE character. It's a shame to see Psyche robbed of any consistency even more so than every other character in the plot, and it very much feels like a case of a white New Zealand woman trying too hard to win representation points (and yes, that's a hot take, but it's a small hill I'm willing to die on because we all know RS' history with this sort of thing at this point, she's not good at hiding it lmao). It feels very low effort and obligatory, like Psyche is just there to check off a list of mandatory representation rather than be her own character with her own goals or traits or motivations.

And, REAL hot take, though it isn't really related to the majority of this post, I have to point out that it gets even weirder/ickier when you remember the fact that nymphs are treated as lower class in the narrative and Psyche... becomes a black-coded nymph... who works for Aphrodite as a servant...

(sigh how was this any better than just doing the OG myth, Rachel?)

Anyways, that's all I'm gonna say on that. That is, again, my personal take on it but I obviously can't speak on behalf of the black community or people in it, most of what drives me nuts just has to do with the lack of character consistency and the feeling that RS is just phoning shit in. The designs on their own independently from one another are fine and I don't think that's what most of the criticisms out there are annoyed about anyways - we're all just tired of seeing Psyche morph into different POC rep characters every other week.

Thank you for taking the time to write and voice your opinion on it, it's definitely a topic that can veer into nasty territory if not treaded carefully but it's one that interests me in talking about because POC rep is important to me, whether or not I belong to the specific culture that's being represented. I know I would be in the same boat if it were concerning Mi'kmaq characters.

And by all means, if y'all think I'm just spouting shit out of my ass or speaking completely out of turn, tell me in the comments or in my asks, this isn't a discussion with one simple clear cut answer or solution so I'd love to hear your own takes o(*￣▽￣*)ブ

I'm piggybacking a bit off of the last ask of asking for writing tips but I have an odd question... Am I the only person that struggles actually PICKING a book? It's the absolute bane of my existence because I feel like I can be so picky... Don't get me wrong, I love being a bookworm, and I'm trying to get back into reading physical books but it's so difficult to find a real taste of what the book is like without being completely spoiled or something... I miss when backs of books had an actual summary and not just NO.1 NEW YORK BESTSELLER!!!! It's so frustrating... I've been trying to get back into it by re-reading fond chapter childhood books read to me (The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane & A Wrinkle In Time). But at the same time I'm also trying to get into more "adult" books that isn't... Well, you try googling "adult books" and see how that goes, I didn't think too hard about what a poor decision THAT was. But I'm working up the courage to read Cat's Cradle right now to start with "Classic Authors" I guess!

Anyway I'm rambling here, I guess my question is... How do you pick out the books you read? I don't really have friends that read many books to recommend to me :')

Thank you in advance, Bog! I hope you get a callback from that interview soon!

no ok actually you've mentioned something that's been bothering me for a while - What The Hell Do Y'all Mea, Books Don't Have Summaries Anymore???? i have not once in my life found a book that didn't have a summary. i was in barnes & noble recently and everything i looked at had a summary. i have literally never seen a book without one in my life of reading & looking at new books on a regular basis

softcovers have theirs on the back. hardcovers are on the inside of the sleeve - lift the cover and it should be printed right there on the inside flap! summaries aren't legally required but both the author and Especially the publisher(s) know that no one's gonna buy a book without a summary. trust me, all books worth reading have a summary. if a book doesn't have one, it's probably not worth your time anyway. you just gotta know where to look!

so my answer to how i choose books... i read the summary lmao. if it seems interesting, ill either write it down to get later or ill get it there and then.

Before the summary though, i look for any titles that jump out at me from the shelf. then i look at the thickness. i like a bit of meat in my literature, so i tend to shy away from thinner books. thicker ones grab my attention more easily. then i look at the cover - if it interests me, then ill read the summary. i don't have specific tastes in title or cover. as long as it makes my brain "hm" thoughtfully, ill take a gander!

and really, if you have access to a bookstore (chain or not, ive found plenty of bangers in tiny used bookshops) or library, the best way to find a book is to physically browse. even if you dont buy anything, you can take pictures of books / write them down to buy online. but going to the store lets you search them out, examine the length, cover, title, summary - and easily put it back on the shelf or keep it. i hate shopping online bc there's ads, you can't examine the product, nothing really stands out since it's all portrayed similarly, there's limited pictures instead of the physical thing, and photos can lie.

plus, everything is (typically) meticulously sorted by genre & age range. when you go into a section with literature aimed at adults, you'll find exactly that instead of smut novels lmao. real life bookstores can be more accurate than online searches. & there's just something so good about walking through shelves, searching for that one book before you know it exists, smelling the paper... yeah...

#like for example i recently bought priory of the orange tree #ive been wanting it for a while and havent read it yet since im finishing something else #BUT! i remember when i first saw it #nothing had gotten my attention for a while #but then i saw the thickest fucking book ive seen in ages - which was automatically very sexy of it #and then the title was unique - priory of the orange tree??? whoah! what the fuck does that mean!!! #so automatically there was the interest of neat title + a new word that i get to learn + the implications of the word now that i understand #and then i picked the book up and it was deliciously heavy - & there was a Dragon on the cover. which. YES PLEASE #then the summary was fascinating!! the book was immediately seared into my brain! im very excited to read it #so thats a highly successful example of my book choosing Process #it checked all of my boxes so it was a win #most books dont check all of my boxes but as long as it hits most of them im down to clown yk yk #but yeah im picky too so! nothing wrong with being picky or having high standards! #rambles from the bog #my shelves are fuckin Full of books ranging from 'it was ok' to 'I WILL RECOMMEND THIS TO ALL WHO WILL LISTEN' #and then i have a drawer filled with books that i just could not care less about / dont like #but dont have the heart to throw away bc. well putting a book in the trash kills a part of my soul #i need to donate them... #but yes! i hope that helps! #and Thank You! i hope i get a callback as well...

How do I know if you're a witch, my friend won't believe me

(So I got two similar questions within a minute, and I'm assuming you meant them both to be on anon, so I'll answer this one.)

I guess... what does your friend think a witch is?

Like it's a thing anyone can do. It's not, like, hard. You do some witchcraft and call yourself a witch. That's... that's the bar. You don't get superpowers. There's no grand gatekeepers who are like "Nah, you don't get to be." This isn't a movie.

It's just a thing you do and then decide to call yourself one.

There are certain kinds of witchcraft that have a higher barrier to entry, but, like, literally anyone can be a witch. And if someone doesn't believe you... that's weird?

Honestly, are y'all thirteen? Cuz I feel like this is the kind of thing I hear from kids. Like this sounds like someone who's never googled Modern Witchcraft Movement. This sounds like a lack of experience in the real world. This sounds like someone who's never, like, walked into a Barnes & Noble.

[thdrama2]

a bit of an obvious one, but I see a lot of people using TH as their main storage and it makes me beyond anxious.

PSA: back your shit up on sites OTHER THAN TOYHOU.SE.

this website has one singular person on the team, the admin. the website could crash and burn at any second, and you could lose all of your images and info, and that would really suck! if your OCs have a lot of information, or artwork, make sure you back that shit up! even just using another character storage service (refsheet, unvale, etc.) is better than nothing, but actual backups will always surpass it.

google drive and dropbox are my personal favorites for this kind of thing, but if the data goes past the limit, investing in an external hard drive or a USB stick isn't a bad idea.

keep your OC stuff safe, y'all. I'd hate to see everyone lose important things because the admin finally let the site burn down.

I was once told if a copy of a digital file does not exist in three places then it does not exist at all so save that shit.

Y'all learned helplessness is not about men who won't help around the house or people who weren't taught how to do something or people who won't educate themselves or think everything's too hard. It's about a trauma pattern where there are no actions a person can take that will actually result in a positive outcome, leading to a person who doesn't bother to try any potentially helpful actions because they've been taught that it doesn't do anything

They showed this in rats by putting them in a cage where one part of the floor shocked them. When the rats ran to the other part that could be safe, they shocked them on that side too. The rats learned that there wasn't any part of the floor that didn't result in a shock. When they changed the situation - making the other part of the floor no longer result in a shock - the rats didn't bother moving sides to find out, because they'd already learned that there would be a shock no matter where they moved to

In people, this may look like someone who told a counselor they were being abused, only to have it get back to their abuser and get punished for talking, so they don't try to escape the abuse anymore. Or a person who gets dismissed every time they tell their doctor that something's wrong, so they stop going to the doctor for their problems. Or a kid who never does well in school even when they desperately try, so they stop trying. Because experience has shown that they'll always get the same (or worse) results

Learned helplessness changes the physical structure of your brain. It learns that the only thing trying to fix it does is waste energy and cause more distress, so it's better all around to just focus on surviving the current situation

Someone refusing to Google something or not knowing how to do a task isn't learned helplessness

#this is a very minor instance of psych/trauma terms getting watered down but it still annoys me sometimes #m/cc #mine #abuse mention #abuse #medical maltreatment #trauma #childhood trauma #child abuse #I tag for filters not for visibility so if there's something I'm missing let me know

imagine keith and lance playing video games together via discord, and one of them accidentally confesses to the other because of something that happened in game lmao

(I’d write something with that trope, but I currently don’t have the time for that lmao)

Okay so it took me some time to think of a game to use but when I did I started laughing so hard.

Sorry if this isn't the vibe you wanted but I couldn't let it go

-----

"DAMN IT! NO NO NO NO NO!!!!" Keith pulled his left headphone off his ear as his friend screeched into his microphone.

"What happened?" Keith asked in his emotionless tone, readjusting his headphones again.

"I just-NO!!! Come on!!!!"

"Lance?"

A long sigh filled the mic. "I made him mad."

Keith rolled his eyes, already knowing the answer to his next question. "Who?"

"Sebastian. I gave him the wrong gift."

Keith smiled to himself, and continued harvesting his own plants on their shared farm. He met Lance when he was 15 on a random site. Not as internet safe as his parents would have liked but he was desperate for friends. As the time went on they both became closer and after a year they started playing online games together.

Keith grew fond of his new friend, a bit to fond in all honesty. He could still remember the first night he ever saw Lance. It was just a picture of him and his family dog. Keith didn't know his heart could beat so fast while staring at an image. He didn't understand why he was tongue tied for the rest of the conversation (Lance had somehow convinced them to voice chat). He went to bed on the verge of tears that night. Only slightly understanding why he was feeling this way.

His fondness for Lance only grew as the years went on. He looked forward to texting throughout school, rushing home to jump online and voice chat him. They video called a couple of times and when Keith was 19 they started streaming together.

They built a decent following over the next three years and their fanbase adored them together. Comments such as "you two bicker like a married couple!" to "y'all would be so cute if you actually got together!!" These were usually followed by "they're not dating?!"

Keith assumed Lance wasn't into him like that. Sure they flirted during streams and Lance was an affectionate guy but Keith figured it was all platonic. So he kept his feelings buried and hidden from everyone.

He pulled himself out of his thoughts, good thing they weren't streaming he was a bit unfocused on Lance's voice that night. Lance complaining he needed to rest but Keith was awake so he couldn't.

"And now I have to wait a whole WEEK to give him another gift." Keith could hear him slump down in his chair.

"Why do you want to marry him so badly?"

Lance stammered for a couple seconds, "because I like him okay? Sue me."

"Okay but they're like eleven other people to choose from."

"Okay but twelve including you." He huffed into the mic.

Keith sat back in his chair, not bothering to start the new day. "Okay but you wouldn't want to marry me."

"I mean," his voice fell off into murmurs.

"What?"

"Nothing, oh! Did you ever get that time off approved for your trip? My boss gave me the time!"

Keith nodded before speaking, "yeah. I just have to buy the plane ticket." They had been planning an in person hang out for years and it finally was going to happen.

"Oh I can't wait mullet! I'm going to rock your world."

Keith felt his face go red, "yeah sure." They played in silence for a bit, the occasional comment here and there.

"I give up! I'm never going to win him over."

"Just google how to do it. It can't be that hard. Unless you picked the hardest character to swoon."

"I probably did!"

"Then pick someone else!"

"No! Mullet you don't understand."

"Then enlighten me."

Lance didn't say anything for a bit. When he finally did his voice wavered a bit, his normal confidence lacking. "I like brooding characters. Who are a bit emo and have dark hair and keep to themselves and seem protective of people they care about."

He spoke quickly and Keith felt his heart nearly jump out of his chest. "Oh. I get that."

Lance cleared his throat, "I like people like that in real life too. Especially if they're willing to play a farming game with me even after protesting for weeks."

Keith knew his face was beat red, he wasn't even sure how he was still breathing. "Oh."

"And people whose name starts with the letter K-"

"Okay Lance I get it."

The call was silent, Keith trying to restart his brain. How do you breath? How do you function like a person? He pulled up a bookmarked link.

"Keith come to bed, I wanna get to spring!"

"Just a moment, I'm looking at something."

"Looking at what?"

"A plan ticket to see a guy I like."

I really hope I gave this idea justice! I didn't really know what game to use but Sabastian made sense

Thank you for this <33333333333

FebruarOC - Carroway

Everyone's favorite, the babiest Shelby sibling!! Another for the RoomWhere crowd when they were doing their ramp up to the new setting in season 2; it took some googling but I FOUND the system! It is called Spirit of 77and was super fun and funky in a 70's funk sort of way! But we did it in space Appalachia.  

Zach & Jade played the eldest and middle shelby siblings respectively. Carroway was the getaway driver because her motto is "gotta go fast". She is a professional race mech pilot (WELL professional is a loose term I think it's technically illegal) (she has a racer persona as well called White Lightning!) 

As the youngest sibling, she didn't know her parents all that well, and shortly after they died her brother Samson got arrested and went away to planet jail for a long time so she just has these mythical images of her family in her mind, the way that they were always talked about giving themselves to the cause etc, and the only one she was really close to was Cooper. But because of that, and growing up in a setting where people had more important things than her to worry about (you know, like revolution), she grew into a really wild child. To the point where she was basically a thrill seeker (her Buzz in game was Thrills: "gain experience in any session where you do something just to see if you can succeed"). 

No one could stop her, so she just went. 

So we stole a mech, in this lead-up game or w/e it's been years I can't really remember the details, and we might have Made Some Noise whoops. I do remember we had a space pick-up truck, that Carroway ISN'T allowed to drive because it is Coop's, but she had her own mech for back-up/distraction to help the pick-up truck haul ass out of there. 

The Shelby's returned in the campaign proper in which we played a combo of Beam Saber and Scum & Villainy (if I remember correctly??) They needed to get to a fancy party for this really famous war profiteer in order to steal something for our crew, so Carroway used her racing persona to finagle an invitation (I think Coop was her "bodyguard" or something, they ditched her pretty early to go infiltrate, and Samson got a job as security for the party), and midway through the party we ran into the the actual crew, and thus the stories combined! 

During that heist, it turned into kind of a mess, and Samson got arrested again, and Carroway was PISSED. 

In the end, I don't think Carroway was a good fit for the way the story was going, partly because I was just so removed from the plot of the campaign (I didn't have time or brainpower to listen to the podcast), and Carroway's major takeaway from all of it was just "Fuck y'all and fuck the war" because it ruined her family and it ruined her childhood in a way that the other characters couldn't connect with -- they were all older, and were actively committed to the cause and participated in the war, but Carroway was between 18 (in spirit of 77) and like 23 TOPS by the end of it. And because there were just so many people at the table between the core cast + the Shelbys, it was real hard to get a word in edgewise (for me) and Carroway just simply couldn't bond with any of the others when her siblings did. 

Still, I love her a lot, she was bratty but loved her siblings fiercely and was Real Good at running away from her problems because boy she could run VERY FAST (in a race mech). 

Here is her pinboard, and here is her playlist! And you can check out the art that I posted previously (sorry no twitter mirror it was so long ago I don't know where it is) from my friend Elin! Her character sheet details for both systems are up for free on patreon.

15, 25, and 4 because I'm morbidly curious

I'm not sure if this is for the Salty ask list or the Choose violence one so I'll do both <3

Choose violence ask list

15. that one thing you see in fanart all the time

- Googling Hornet art to try and find good art references for drawing her and it's all bug boobs. Life just isn't worth it sometimes y'all 😩

25. common fandom complaint that you're sick of hearing

- "WHEN IS SILKSONG COMING OUT?? WHERE'S SILKSONG??"

That's it. The Silksong griping xD

4. what was the last straw that made you finally block that annoying person?

- I could go into depth about some particularly unique people I've blocked for various levels of WTF but ehhh we'll just talk about the anons for this one xD

There was no last straw for this I just impulsively hit the block button because what the hell is my anon ask box

Salty Ask list

15. Unpopular opinion about the game?

- Godhome is entirely too tedious and yeah I know it's supposed to be hard asf but as someone who beat it I reserve the right to bitch and scream after the fact because the agony was real and even a single checkpoint in-between certain bosses (side eyes PV) would've been amazing

25. How would you end XXX/Would you change the ending of XXX?

- Dream No More Ending but we actually see Hollow in frame alive. I know it's ambiguous for a reason and satisfying in its own way...AND technically they could survive off screen but look I'm the prophet of Hollow gospel, my guilty pleasure is making them survive everything so they can get that good recovery and slice of life content

4. Do you have a NoTP in your fandom? Are they a popular OTP?*

- prepare the pitchforks and torches because it's Grollow and Pale Nightmare. Probably two of the more popular ships in the fandom and I don't like either of them, or Grimm shipped with any of the pale family for that matter lmao. I just cannot see/get into those pairings and Grimm is either the chain-smoking uncle to me or the nuisance of a Grimmchild being raised by the siblings

Hi hi it's 1am here and the thoughts are Not Great so scroll past if you don't want to see the pettiest vent in your life 'k thanks ♡

So you know that post about me being scared about sharing my work if it isn't the popular opinion or anything generally commonly appealing? Yeah so as I was typing out the tags my brain threw a core memory at my face and went "you absolutely know why"

Anywau basically like, i was an undertale fan during the undertale renissance (is that how you spell it?) And i was fucking OBSESSED over glitchtale (until early season 2 + before camila was outed to be a shitbag) and thought glithtale was very very cool

Ankther thing is that i was a chronic deviantart scroller at the tjme (also on google images) and i love lovr loooooved looking at people's art

So i was like "hey i could do that too!" And started making fanart for glitchtale, specifically that final battle part where they're in The Orb™ in s1

I was doing it in school because at this point everyone was basically just hanging out (my elementary's system was 1st grade to 6th grade (i was... 5th grade iirc) And also had this weird systen where the younger half of elementary would go home 2 hours earlier than the older half (1pm), idk why) and like, because there was literally just 4 people here because small school, i showed my wip to the other 3 people present in the area

They made fun of it

Yeag,,

They made fun of. Basically Everything.

The thing that primarily stuck with me was how they teased about frisk's posing and the overall edginess of the piece, but mostly how frisk looked stypid (which, 1. Y'all play fnaf and brag that you're cool though kids you don't have room to talk; 2. It was The Orb™ fight,,, of course it was gonna be edgy,,,,)

It's somewhere in a landfill now, i threw it in the trash and never fished it out... probably decomposed by now, it's been 8 years (holy shit it's been 8 years)

I... think they apologized? Idk i just know they had a "wait shit no-" moment when i threw it in the trash but i was already mad about it so, yeag

Like... i like to say that it doesn't affect me that badly anymore but i'm pretty sure it still is? I literally can't look at my art anymore without thinking of how bad it looks compared to everyone else's and i also am physically unable to Not agree with others (i literally forced myself to hate homura akemi pmmm because a friend didn't see the nuance in her character and just relegated her to "bitch" lmao) and Good Lird i have crippling perfectionism because if 1 person hates it then everyone does right??? Lmao

Deadass nowadays i just can't bring myself to make or share any ideas or pick up anything creative because i HAVE to get it perfect in 1 go otherwise i'll be ridiculed for it; I'm Trying to outgrow these problems but it's jist So Dicking Hard akfjshdjdhr and it seriously doesn't help tjat there was a seperare (smaller) incident where i found one of my drawings crumpled on the floor by someone

Man i'm kinda fucked up am i?

#cw: vent #void screaming #not gonna bother correcting my grammar or spelling for this #too tired to do so lmaooooooooooooo #[this is a filler tag to make sure the rest of the tags are put under the read more button] #man i feel like i'm gonna cry lmao #i'm actually processing this by typing it out and now i just realize how fucked up it was #semi-unrelated but did you know i tried to make art for a teacher by tracing over someone else's art? #it's kinda goofy tbh #iiii also have a tendency to get anxious and obsessively check for a response once i post something... #probably also a byproduct of the incident #who knows #my dumbass is defined by people kicking me around #sooo yeah.

My 2022 Fanfiction Breakdown

Many of you may or may not know this about me, but I am a lover of spreadsheets and numbers.

So, every year, I track my reading. For fanfictions and books alike, but the book tracking is done by my beloved Storygraph, so I don't have to get too in-depth there.

However, I go all out for my fanfiction tracking.

First, it all starts in airtable. If you're not familiar with airtable, it is a very pretty collaborative spreadsheet that a lot of people use for book tracking, work projects, or comic guides.

My fanfiction airtable from 2022 looks like this:

I track things like fandom, ship, author name, and month read. (This year in 2023, I'm doing something a little more involved, but that's a story for another time).

I also track word count and number of fics read. So I can track my reading habits over the course of the year.

Then I take my raw data from my airtable and put it in a Google sheet to create graphs. Because of course i have graphs.

Last year I read roughly 14,259,415 words.

My goal was 15 million. And I got pretty close..

Here's my breakdown:

Monthly word count breakdown by # and graph

As you can see, my busiest month for reading was August with nearly 4 million words read.

I had a major uptick in reading fanfiction July-November with each month hitting at least 1 million words.

Weekly word count breakdown by #s and graph

Please note, I didn't start tracking weekly count until August. And prior to that, my data wasn't clear enough. So this isn't a full year collection.

As you can see, my busiest week was September 26-30 with just over 1 million words. I'm still not sure how that happened.

Fics read by # (count and graph)

As you can see, the most fics I read was in August with 103.

I read 487 fanfictions in 2022.

Now, while this data is certainly interesting. I did also breakdown my Ships, Fandoms, and Authors. Though, the authors read is less interesting since it just looks like a mess. So I'll only share Ships and fandom breakdown.

Ships Breakdown Graph

As you can see, my most read ship last year was Steve Harrington/Eddie Munson, taking up 77.8% of my reading maerial.

The next closest is Derek Venturi/Casey McDonald with 3.1%.

Fandom Breakdown Graph

To the surprise of absolutely no one, my biggest fandom last year was Stranger Things taking up 79.8% of my readership.

The next highest was Life With Derek with 3.1%.

I went in HARD on the Steddie hyperfocus for a large chunk of 2022.

I'm working on a Steddie Gudie. It's sort of long, but I hope to have it out in the next few months.

If y'all found this interesting, I can and will show you how to create your own. It's VERY easy to do, but you have to set up your raw data correctly to be able to run these numbers.
