man the dev notes w/ the stormshore tabernacle convo. whatever they're there for it's kind of remarkable how so much of the notes there for her are just textbook abuser stuff.

#tbd #after all the advantages I gave you -- i have the visceral skin crawl reaction its the abusive parent anthem #things that make my skin crawl bruh #it's everything I did for you #child who i groomed #I'm being so magnanimous towards you giving you time == child who i groomed #look at how merciful i am even though my first instinct is that i don't like how you didn't obey me #the dev notes of that convo genuinely make it worse boooy #which well done but also i will throw hands #dming helm pls kill her again #anyway i think it's kind of fascinating that most gods in this game show themselves as these larger than life figures but mystra? #you are seeing the person who did that to gale you are seeing that person #that person came to him as a child #like that divine separation has just not been there #esp with the build up #where she first dispatches elminster and then again when he tells you about the grant but at the end it's just her in this human figure #i genuinely feel like it deliberately strips that divine separation away & its another layer of insidiousness on her part #it's grounded in the sense of the damage she'd done to gale idk i am waffling but its just something about it is worse when it's so..wow. #idk i think in this game? i think she's not written like the other gods in this game and i think it makes her worse not more sympathetic #bg3 spoilers #abuse tw

Already did a Skizz doodle dump, only makes sense to follow it up with a Tango doodle dump. I gave them lil matching outfits. Tango has Skizz's tie as a wristband by the end of the series. I have thoughts about him. I have thoughts about both of them. I love him.

I’ve seen some OFMD Takes that equate Stede and Ed’s softness and boil it down to an anti-toxic masculinity thing and an uncomplicated moral good, but I feel like doing that misses a lot of nuance by ignoring the role that class plays in their stories.

Stede does face negative repercussions for being ‘soft,’ for failing to measure up to the ideal of masculinity enforced by civilization, but only social consequences. And that’s not to say those consequences don’t matter; it’s terrible that his father was emotionally abusive, that he was bullied by his peers, that he felt alienated from his family. However, nobody was going to repossess his house because he wasn’t performing masculinity up to their standards. He was never going to have to worry about where his next meal would come from because of it.

Further, Stede has the privilege to walk away whenever he feels like it. He can “upend his entire comfortable life to become a pirate” and then “un-abandon [it] on a whim” and STILL face no economic consequences for any of it.

Ed, meanwhile, cannot just walk away from being Blackbeard because his legend is his only source of income. He can’t simply choose to stop being a pirate and be soft instead because, for him, the consequence of failing to perform the ideal of masculinity is death. In a fair and equal world, Ed would be able to wear all the silk robes and throw all the talent shows he wanted to, but that is not the world he lives in.

Piracy was supposed to be his escape from poverty, but all it’s managed to do is allow him to stave it off, and become a prison unto itself in the process. Ed is trapped, not by toxic masculinity, but by economic desperation. No matter how hard he tries, he’s still not one of “those kind of people” and he never will be. That’s the symbolism of him throwing the red silk away at the end of ep 10: the acceptance that “you wear fine things well” was only ever a dream for him and that dream is now dead.

#our flag means death #ofmd #which is why i DO think there’s an argument to be made that Stede ‘ruined’ Ed - just not in the way he thinks #but by giving him a taste of what a truly comfortable life is like and then ripping that away from him #leaving Ed not just dissatisfied with his life as Blackbeard but fucking MISERABLE in it #which was not Stede’s intention of course but it is What Happened - from Ed’s perspective anyway #and that element cannot be separated from his heartbreak over Stede’s leaving him - they’re one in the same #which is not me saying that Ed only loved Stede because of his money - that would be ridiculous #but at the same time - pretty much everything that originally fascinated Ed about Stede is related to Stede’s privilege #INCLUDING his softness! #which isn’t to say that softness is bad - only that moralizing it misses the point #misses it in the exact same way that Ed does in declaring himself a monster for the things desperation drove him to do #it’s just not that simple #in a show where the very first episode reminds you that no one except Stede is a pirate because they want to be - it’s not that simple #and - with that in mind - i would not be at all surprised if Ed’s first reaction to hearing that Stede gave up his fortune to return to #piracy isn’t ‘gosh how romantic’ but ‘ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE???? DO YOU THINK THAT *I* WOULD STILL BE A PIRATE IF I HAD ANY OTHER CHOICE??’ #and that is a valid reaction

idk how to live so im going to talk to myself out loud until i do

#listen. take a deep breath. i know your bpm is high but you need to think with me for a second. #remember that you are paper thin. all your facets are sheets of paper and what you gave her is just another one. #make a new one. you dont need it. you dont need her to see you. i know you think you need her but you will be okay. i know its hard. #you wish you could have shown her how you loved her. listen to yourself. you are made of paper. #she might be concrete or maybe wood or maybe gold. you need to start laying your roots elsewhere. shut that thought down #and blink and listen. the parts you keep thinking of arent lost. they still happened and they are yours to keep. #there is beauty in this loss. tell me about the beauty in this loss. its okay to think about it. you got to see it all and nothing more #and this is great because it would have been bad. you know it would be violent in a way you dont need. you know this to be true. #you are going to look at that empty space in her shape and youre going to fill it with everything that happened when you knew her. #the memories with her but then also the the way your friends talked you through it. the game with the clovers. #your first allergic reaction you almost died and you couldnt stop laughing and you were held so close to their hearts. #learning the names for all the floursecent gene tracking dyes that everyone else knows already. about the exam - listen again. #i know you think if you fail your life is over but you need to try your best. youre not going to get a good grade in a uni test for the fir #youre going to make up for it. youre going to make sure you make up for it. do you understand? i love you. you have to do this. #right now you need to sit up. breathe. i know your heart hurts. go to the living room. grab something to eat. i dont care if you feel full. #youre going to clean your mattress heater. youre going to study a bit longer and then youre going to sleep. youre going to tell your mother #im sorry and i might genuinely fail a test. shes going to tell you its okay. if you do badly in this course you can just become a neurosurg #just agree. dont argue right now. its okay. youre okay. you are paper thin. i know any puncture hurts. #breathe. think of your friends. think of their hands in yours. it isnt eternal.youve lived through worse. the empty sky is still beautiful. #the lack of her is still beautiful

Thoughts on Chenyu Vale?

i'm having a lot of fun so far! though i am aware that one of the reasons why is because i got cloud retainer, so like- moving around is fun now in general. but still! i really like the puzzles, and everything is just- so pretty. i need those white-ish trees on my teapot asap.

the world quests are also very cute, i really like them

#probably a stupid detail but i had the time of my life when i realized i could just harvest the adeptea by hand #i was like “what's all those artifact/mora spots on the tea??” #and then when i picked one up and it gave me the fucking adeptea i had a physical !!!!! reaction #anyway #yeah <3

dean studies, figure 2: dean as the caretaker and peacekeeper

sam and john are depicted as the “obsessive” ones...the ones who get caught up in their revenge quests, fueled by their emotions while dean--dean is the rock. dean is the caretaker. dean is steady. and it contradicts the fanon interpretation that dean is / has always been “the angry one.” he was not the angry one. he doesn’t let himself really be angry, feel angry, until after john dies. for 27 years he could not afford to be angry. there was no room for his anger. there was already too much anger is their family, and dean had to put his aside to mitigate, bury his own feelings, to diffuse john and sam’s anger. before john’s death and before hell--because it’s only really after hell and 40 years of literal torture that dean starts to lean into his anger--he was always the peacemaker, always playing the mediator to the two hot-heads constantly clashing. he had to be calm and steady and reliable, he had to be obedient and loyal and good. he took care of his family, he provided, he made sure sam was fed no matter the personal cost to himself, he looked after his dad even when he didn’t deserve it. he had to be more than just a brother, he had to be a father and he had to be a mother.

#i'm being silly abt this formatting sajfkkdsf pretending to be a little scholar ! #but no really this whole exchange makes me insane like 1. it's not even john saying he's proud it's azazel #so that makes it even more insane and painful bc it's almost like. he's being mocked for taking care of his family #and azazel knowsss it's literally dean's weakness so like. yeah. and then the 'you always have' too is just #like this is literally his role after being a good little soldier it's being a good little caretaker #and in both roles (soldier and caretaker) there is no room for DEAN to exist. he has to completely give up himself #there's no room for dean's own wants or wishes or dreams so like. that brings me to his reaction #his eyes downcast unable to meet his father's eyes looking away (he's looking back to sam) and it's just like. #this is what he gave it all up for he gave up his life his freedom to take care of his family and sure he's proud he has to be #but it hurts him too it hurts him because underneath the perfect solider the perfect son underneath his sense of duty. he still WANTS #he still wants more than this life he wants freedom a chance to choose he has dreams and it's not fair. it's not fair and it hurts #but he won't say a word he'll swallow it all down in a minute and get back to work. but for that second those few frames #he feels the pain the resentment the anger the sadness #anywaysss. litcherally writing a thesis here #dean studies

Different timeline anon, but I agree with the writers generally losing track or attention to detail on dates and timeframes. I also agree with the Eddie and Buck age gap discrepancy. Honestly what I suspect happened there is someone noted "Shannon was 30," and whoever had to make or give direction on the headstone didn't math correctly and forgot to subtract the 30 from 2019 instead of 2023 lol.

Imma be honest with you, I never understood the insistence that Eddie was a solid 5 years older than Buck, I remember starting to read fanfiction and everyone going with 5 years specifically and all the old man jokes and going "wait did I miss something?" because I always saw Eddie as someone who got his highschool girlfriend pregnant, so given Chris' age, he couldn't be that much older, at least in my head, even more with the way we know Eddie enlisted because Shannon got pregnant and he also talks about enlisting to avoid college applications, and while I have no idea how the us enlisting system works or college applications for that matter, I always saw that happening before he was 20 in a very vague sense, so I put Buck at 26 in under pressure and Eddie maybe at 28, if I'm pushing to the edge there. But I do agree they didn't think about the implications of Shannon's birthday on Eddie's. I don't think they thought that we would actually read that tombstone and start questioning Eddie's age. Or maybe they narratively need Eddie to be seen as younger than he has been and it's gonna come into play later. But I don't know.

#i mean there were easier ways to make Eddie's age known yk #and while i do think they probably just gave her an arbitrary age that would make Eddie's life more tragic #that does affect things and im curious to see if it was just a fluke or if we'll get something on that front #i really need a tag for asks #anon 😌 #i know a lot of my assumptions of eddie come from my experiences with latino households #and boys #i legit know a dude whos very s2 Eddie #but like #it think it makes more sense for eddie to ve younger? #i dont see why Eddie at 22 would think going to the army was the solution #it feels like a 18 yo impulse decision to a positive pregnancy test #i think that at 22/23 that wouldn't be the first reaction #but thats just me

So. Attack on Titan ended

YES AND I CANT TALK ABOUT IT BECAUSE I DID NOT REREAD OR REWATCH OR VIEW THE FINALE AT ALL DURING THE WHOLE MONTH I SAID I WOULD

also this is the best possible way you could have formatted that message

#- HK #I didn’t watch Spy x Family either 😭😭😭 #to be fair to myself however #I’ve been preoccupied with totally changing my lifestyle to shrink my gallstone #which has come with not a little bit of fear and anxiety and panic but when I was at my parents’ for Thanksgiving my ma gave me a talking to #about not being afraid of my food and my body #and she would know because she had life-threatening cancer #so I was pretty much able to forget I was sick while I was there #then I learned that coming home and being alone with one’s thoughts makes one 10x more aware of one’s own body #but now I’m a month out from the attack that put me in the ER I’ve remembered that pain is not the end of the world #AND the doctor gave me hydrocodone for if it comes back so #ANYWAYS. I’ve also been training the new clerk and she seems to have never used a computer before #so very little time for anime BUT I have been thinking about commonalities between Attack on Titan and Euripides’ Bacchae #and in light of current foreign affairs (particularly Kissinger’s death and the reactions to it) #etc etc #mobile #SNK #x #DID *YOU* WATCH IT?

my bad for asking a genuine question then. i was genuinely trying to figure out why you were using the d slur when ive Only heard the d slur be used as an offensive term ?? was just trying to see if you had a reason and possibly be educated on it but. ok then

and i gave you a genuine answer. I am a random person on tumblr and you asked me a cryptic question on anon. I do not owe people gentle education, its not my job. this is an emoji blog.

#like. im not sorry for my reaction. i gave you a genuine answer- my use of the slur has to do HEAVILY with me having a lot of exposure to #people who self ID with slurs and offline queer punk scenes. #and you asked a question of a stranger online. anonymously. im sorry i didnt hold your hand like you want me too? #like. i fully acknowledge i could come off as a bit of an ass to some ppl with this. but also im an adult and at this point in my life #pleasing everybody is not a top priority. #edit: if you want genuine thought out breakdowns on my political opinions like that just go to my main blog @ br1cks-and-b0nes #and one day if i have the energy Maybe i will give you a few good paragraphs. but not here man.

Nice to see Hawkwing’s Journey keeping in line with Clear Sky’s DotC characterization: disregarding the females.

#also ‘’we have to look to firestars descendants’’ girl they are sandstorms descendants too???’’ #hwj liveread #ok thats enough for tonight actually LOL #they gave me psychic damage by putting clear sky in there sorry #also ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hate how sandstorm is regarded in this whole arc soooooooooo bad #‘’we love you firestar we miss you so much’’ ‘’and sandstorm?’’ ‘’uh- yeah her too i guess’’ *sitcom laugh track* #shes half the reason yall even exist today would it kill you to give her more credit #but yknow this is the same character who apparently didnt even deserve a dignified death with reactions from her family or anything #also i kinda wanna go on a tangent abt how weird the skyclan after life is but i may wait til shattered sky. too tired and i think itll get #a bit more clear then hopefully

one of the biggest mistakes we can make as Christians is think our sin is too dirty, too shameful and ugly for the Savior’s love. because by marinating in our guilt, we’re telling Jesus the cross wasn’t enough, what He did for us wasn’t enough to save us from ourselves. and that breaks His heat

#this came to me when i was going through one of the notes i had from a Word God gave me about #simon peter and judas iscariot and how they both felt shame and regret for what they did to Jesus but the difference is their reaction #peter ran to Jesus while Judas ran away from Jesus #and how the difference is how they viewed themselves #peter knew he wasn’t worthy but knew the only who can remove his sun was Jesus #but judas thought his sun was greater than anything Jesus could forgive so he took his own life #and this message really got me thinking about how many times i attempt to avoid God bc i feel too dirty with sin to even think of Him #but now i see how running to Jesus is the best thing to do even when i feel unworthy and ugly and disgusting with guilt He still wants me #bc all He needs is you #Jesus #christians #christians on tumble #christianity

#just texted my ex that i parted on bad terms with. and who fucked my best friend. that i don't want to speak to her anymore #after she sent me a few messages #explained why i don't want to hear from her. was very polite #POLITE ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE FUCKED MY BEST FRIEND #(don't worry my best friend didn't get off easily from this either) #but I've received no less than five messages from her since i sent mine #i think that's a pretty weird reaction to being told that i don't want to hear from her #literally two days before my birthday i got to learn that my best friend and my ex were fucking #didn't speak to my best friend for two weeks and i considered never speaking to him again #even considered not going back to the camp we both work at #i was in a very bad place for awhile #i feel like she has no right to text me what are definitely five angry messages #especially considering why we broke up #fuck her. i don't have the energy to be angry though #just tired and want her out of my life #I'm gonna go check the messages and maybe I'll talk about them here #not angry messages actually. she asked me to mail back the pillow i took (with her permission) and the promise ring she gave me #or at least not get rid of them because they mean a lot to her #i always told her if we broke up she wouldn't get her pillow back #but I'll send her the fucking ring. fuck get for promising we'd stay together and then abandoning me with no warning #I'm having a bad night folks. might cut and dye my hair about it

you'll think you've gotten better at dealing with the way women are written in anime or that maybe anime have gotten better at writing women and then you'll realise the only thing that got better is your ability to pick shoujo over shounen

#watching the new mappa anime is a struggle I'm putting in only bc the protag reminds me of ninja therion #my good will is about to run dry tho #jjk and black clover got me nearly convinced shounen got better at women and then i realised everything else im following is #either romance or slice of life #i genuinely don't get people who'll complain about odas way of writing women either #ive been following op actively for thirteen years and not once have i felt the rejection reaction the girls in the mappa anime gave me #there's also ways and ways of making sexy women too like fujiko's never given me any problems at all? #but that ninja girl last ep made me willing to punch my laptop any time #is it last ep? whatever #the point is this season turned out more disappointing than i imagined #but at least if no one got my back I know mashle and stl got my back #amen

#audio #putting my head through a wall saturday #this song makes me think about a few things but rn I'm thinking about LR on top of n beating the shit out of FP (their illegitimate father) #maybe he'd even be interested to know that his child has his explosive violent anger despite them never having met #maybe he'd be proud #it would at least make him smile #LR would be so fucking angry. they're 22 n he's 58 so it's a possibility they could win if he couldn't reach his gun #which he usually carries in a holster the front of his pants so if they're sat on top of him he can't reach it #idk if it would be a blind rage of punching him till he stops moving or a screaming crying spitting clawing thing #probably depends on His reaction #if he says anything. like in the middle of the violence he goes ''you really are my kid'' LR would likely start crying #and get sloppy so if FP really cared to live through that situation he could probably throw them off #but frankly I think he'd find it pretty fitting his adult child he never knew existed would be the one to catch up to him #and he's lived a satisfying life by his standards #this would all be solved if he gave a shit n gave them a hug though lmfao #but he doesn't care #beyond the brief entertainment they could bring him. esp since he could hold power over them #eugh what a guy #love my characters they're personifications of my issues lmfao #and the fact that they have identical eye colors and very similar eye shapes. sheesh. #like looking into your own eyes
