i think one of the biggest detractors from trying to do any sort of professional creative work is that logically speaking I'd at some point I'd probably have to get a HRHG I'd have to get a 🤢🤢🤢🤢 I'd have to get a TWIT- no I can't even say it

#second worst part is that if i REALLY wanted a creative career in the USA that is made decently more attainable by living in LA or NYC and #I'd rather die thanks <3 #i simply cannae stand big cities #im not knocking them for other people but for me if i spent more than like #three days in a large city i simply go bonkers #i become a poorly treated chihuahua of a person

Thinks oh so hard abt the spiraling upwards clan founders, especially the birchclan founders. Silly lil kitties who's pasts are drenched in blood with the primary regret of not drawing it sooner

#rat rambles #oc posting #warriors posting #spiraling upwards #long story short they had a shitty awful terrible leader who sucked absolutely ass and they tore him to shreds #I mean that literally they pinned him onto the mountain side and slashed and mauled the shit out of him so hard that his lives evaporated #and several of the cats involved in that scene are sill alive and major parts of the story and I love them #oh also the cat that pinned him through a stab through the throat was his own daughter btw everyone hated his ass so much #and for good reason get his ass #alas in the main story I dont rly get to go too deep into how he harmed everyone involved mostly just three main ones #aka bristlestar because shes murtlepaw's ghost mom dawncrackle because hes also haunting murtle and gullspot because shes bristle's kit #so basically all the flashbacks we get involve those three in some form or another #honeystar was also there and involved but Im not currently planning on having her rly talk abt that #most of her more modern angst is the fact that she was forced into leadership against her will #and shes been alive long enough that shes been leading birchclan far longer than she ever lived in her old clan #but she did go through a lot of shit before birchclan was founded and it definitely shaped her a lot #she used to be a very determined and high spirited lil kitty cat who tried to be optimistic #but her family began to slowly be picked off one by one by both the old leader and the one whod later get evicerated #some of the older cats around her hoped it make her back down from her revelutionary ideas but she noticed that and it backfired on them #instead of being worn down to submission she became absolutely Furious and began to lash out more and become more demanding #it got to the point that she really only had two friends in the entire clan and one of them was her aunt whod later also die after coming #out abt having witnessed the leader killing his own kits #that was the final fucking straw for her and she was fully on board when bristle and dawn started looking for cats to join their rebellion #she did get rly frustrated with them as they waited patiently for the right moment but her remaining bestie kept her from going apeshit #so once the big fight finally broke out she was more than eager to join the hoard of cats chasing the bastard upwards #now unlike some of the other cats involved this legitimately actually made her feel a lot better for a while #for the first time in ages she finally felt like she could be optimistic abt smth again and was excited abt the idea of leaving this place #she had lost so much in this damn place since she was an apprentice and just wanted to finally be able to rest easy #but once they got to their new territory and set up camp things went south real fast as a flood fucked everything up #and after losing the only cat she had left in her life and losing her tail and being made deputy on top of that she deteriorated quickly

did you know that local funeral homes were forcibly shut down after the storm. did you know we weren’t even allowed to handle our own dead. they thought we were incompetent. these funeral homes, these people, mostly family-owned, been running for decades, and oh, right, let’s not forget, a whole damn bunch of them owned by Black people, were kept from handling our dead. and they have not forgotten the indignity of that.

#my mom’s friend in the industry now. the one who inspired me to go into my program? she talks about it. #it’s fucking appalling is what it is. #like. the racism and the classism and the just. the fucking way new orleans was treated after the storm. u have no idea. #but i’ve spent my whole life listening to every adult i know talk about how they were fucked over by it #vent #another fun. ‘fun’ fact. this city used to have a larger Black population. three guesses as to when that dipped. and the first two don’t cou #there is no way around the fact that new orleans being known as a Black city was part of why they left us to die after the storm. #poverty oblivious dovetails into that but the racism of it cannot be understated. #maybe the only good thing kanye west ever did in his life was call the president out on live tv for wanting us all to go away and die.

it’s interesting to me that ichigo canonically has so much reitsu that he can increase abilities of the people around him, if he spends enough time with them, which is why chad & orihime have powers (or at least, the ASSUMED reason since chad’s really a fullbring) but both of their abilities have to do with like, having more soul than everyone around them, basically, which is a power ichigo himself was born with

like chad says that he feels the power of his abuelo dwelling in his right arm & that his own power is in his left, while orihime’s power is having six different spirits that are supposed to represent her soul. canon describes it as being like a shiginami’s sword, which makes sense, because they all, like, are housed in her hairclip, there’s still more variation just one weapon one power (an oversimplification, i know)

there’s no real point to this post, i just think it’s fun that out of everyone ichigo could have met, he gravitated towards the kids with powers closer to his

#like we see the other fullbrings & chad is the only one who describes theirs as being part of someone elses soul #its just the guy whos best friends with ichigo. who was infected with a hollow soul #also interestingly enough all three of them either had to leave a parent or watch a parent die at a young age #orihime was taken by her brother at age 3 bc their parents were so abusive & then he died #while chad had his parents die at 8 & then grew up w his abuelo who also passed #& now theyre both living as emancipated minors #or they were when they were introduced. i guess theyre adults now #anyway what a wild and wicked fun coincidence that the characters with the most souls #also have a wicked amount of childhood trauma #wonder what thats about #aster speaks #bleach

Something about Asagiri wanting to maintain the beauty of buraiha's friendship, which was so strong that it ended with the three of them dying a mere few years apart, has me in a chokehold

#muse: sakaguchi ango. #Oda died in 1947... Dazai in 1948... and lastly Ango in 1955 #which is frankly how I can vividly see BSD's version of buraiha unfolding too. #Obviously not down to the T (like the one year apart for Oda & Dazai etc) but definitely the order of their deaths... #in BSD's case I feel like it'd be fitting if Ango was the last of the three to die since everything went downhill after HE joined the PM #It'd be a very bittersweet feeling... bitter bc he really does not have any other friends. Odasaku and Dazai are (...were) his only ones #so to live after the BOTH of them departed would hurt him even More than his heaps of guilt. hence the 'bitter' from bittersweet #but at the same time. the 'sweet' part would come from knowing that at least he'd meet them both again once he does die too

Wait, was Belos just using random corpses he found as temporary bodies??? Cause this is the rabbit, I think it's a rabbit?, before the goop covers it. And it's pretty rotted as is with the exposed spine and ribs.

Then we get this:

Where the skull looks exposed as well, with the goop then making the horns. So are all of the bones Belos left behind just corpses he happened across? Were some of them alive? Was it both? and did they just...lose skin and whatever was left the longer that Belos had them?

Would that have happened to Hunter given enough time? Could Belos have possessed a normal person if given half the chance?

If he could he probably didn't only because of his thing about 'saving humans' which is why he didn't immediately try to kill Luz. Would he have possessed one of the other kids though?

#toh #the owl house #toh spoilers #toh season three #toh belos #toh season 3 spoilers #God just the whole development? #I think you'd call it development #of this witch hunter who thinks he's going to save every human #turning into a friggen ghost and or demon like think that can possess people? #that is some fucking change #like the idea of either you die a hero or live long enough to become the villain kind of thing #but with whatever is more applicable to Belos' whole thing for the hero part

#tag talk #vent #I don't wanna do the whole “I'm so good at psychology cause I've fixed myself. I should go into counseling” thing that overly empathetic #empathetic people do. but like. nothing like deconstructing a tense social conflict to make you feel good #the smol autistic minecraft enby who adopted me had a moment and I helped break down the situation and resolve shit with them. it was cool #but also I immediately went out to the living room and napped for three hours. thinning that hard was exhausting. #do you ever do the depression nap thing? when I'm doing well I never sleep during the day. but when I'm sad I take naps a lot #because I don't want to be awake and I sleep poorly at I night and am just generally lethargic so I nap on the floor or couch a lot #ugh knowing the stress will go away doesn't help the fact that it's super awful right now. #it's times like this that I wish I'd really committed to it in Feb. like. in two weeks I'll be better and joy de vivre and all that. #but right now? ugh. big fuckin ugh #the minecraft emotional labor thing is just a natural responsibility of being a 25 year old playing online video games with 15 year olds. #if I see a situation blowing up I can't hear sit by and watch someone destroy their friendships on the server. I have to help #but also bro I am struggling to help myself. maybe I say I'm packing up my pc early so that I have a good excuse to stay off the server #I literally did the thing again where I make new friends. make everyone love me. and then get burnt out at the speed of light and disappear #making friends is so easy. leaving friends is so easy. nothing is forever and we all die someday. blah blah blah you know it already #meaningless meaningless. all is meaningless. maybe king Solomon was just fuckin depressed when he wrote that. sure sounds like it to me. #I just can't do anything when I'm like this. we're subsistence living now bois. #I wonder if part of my neurological damage is from the lead I used to eat in high school. #the windex shots can't have been good for me. but I don't think that stays in your body the same way #though it did fuck up my urinary tract for a few months. that was wild. #anyway. I wonder how much of my chronic periodic funk is just effects from bad choices and how much is normal natural inevitable. #everything is an ocean. nothing is a lake. the waves are always thirty feet high and the troughs scrape you on the bottom of the reef #nothing is midline except when you're rushing through to one extreme or another. #you're either overstimulated or absent from your body entirely #both of which cause wild and oft unbearable dissociation. #everything gets better and everything gets worse. I'm only like this when I'm stressed. but that's my secret cap (avengers reference) #anyway. I'll survive. I'll make it. I'll live because I need to become even more gay to make my family mad. #I need to keep living so my dad realizes just how much he's lost touch. #so my mom cries about how she should have done something differently so I wouldn't grow up gay. because that makes so much sense right?

When she enlisted, Regan thought - she didn't know what she thought. She was there, when the Emperor took her seat. She was there, numb, tired, wondering what use a little girls' words would have for her, what she would gain from a war that wasn't hers. Regan's thought about it a lot since then. She has a list in her head of questions she would ask if she was the right person.

Regan was a butcher. The death throes of men are similar to those of pigs.

Generally speaking, war is boring. This is the first thing Regan learned. She isn't on the front lines, and she isn't a strategist. And if she was, she scarcely thinks that would change the fact. Rumors would have you believe Emperor Edelgard is a suspicious creature who scarcely trusts her own chair, let alone her generals. Regan would never know the battles for the war. And battles scarcely come her way. It's monotonous. It's empty.

Another thing she learned is that Faerghus is not as desolate as the nationalists would have you believe. About half of the propaganda she's seen so far tout it as a frozen wasteland rife with barbarians, that Adrestia can bring the finer things to its people, if they'd only come under her wing. The nearest town is wary of them. But Regan has more in common with the young man holding a chicken by its neck and a big knife in the other hand than she does with the child on the throne.

It is cold, though. It is terribly, terribly cold. The flowers that spring up here must be hardier than the feisty things they cultivate in Leicester, or the large bright flowers that unfurl only in the hot sun back home. Regan has a favorite - they are small blue flowers that grow in clusters. She doesn't see them in the forest, but the young man with the chicken coop has a sweetheart with a garden. They venture out into their homelands' cold spring with bare arms, and Regan wonders why.

She doesn't have a good reason for enlisting. If she'd been born richer, she would have been a painter. Her cheap paper curls under her cheap watercolors, and is covered in small blue flowers. If she trusts the words of a girl who is more likely a liar than an idealist, maybe her daughter will get to live like that. Regan sighs. She leans against a tree. Wishes she had a cigarette left.

She doesn't know why she is here, in an evergreen forest, in a hastily constructed waypoint. She sees only the trees. And -

Regan jolts, looks closer at the shadows, at how they choke out the new greenery, the stubborn snow. Jagged lines stretch out like a farmer's repurposed scythe, or

 perhaps a wicked crown, leading to - to a hart. A stately young man with an unseasonal rack. Red as the flag. Regan's hand twitches, she wonders at her bow. But -

The hart leans back. It looks at her with sweet brown eyes. Regan remembers the first piglet she ever held, and the first man she ever killed. She hesitates. She always hesitates. She cannot help hesitating. It will be the death of her.

It is so quiet between the two of them, even the birds do not sing. In Enbarr, when Ionius' family was slaughtered, the city was shocked into vigil. The silence is like a mourning, until a branch snaps, and the hart is startled into flight. It bounds back into the rich green shadows, and Regan wonders - she wonders why the birds are silent.

She is facing the forest, so she doesn't see the danger. There is a clamor behind her, a shout and the sound of swords being drawn.

The beast is shrouded in furs, black and blue and white. Its hair is long and lank, and covers its face. There is - fuck, it's drenched in blood, the steel tip of a lance slick with it. The steel tip turns down, and is driven through Edmund's stomach. Edmund is 19. Regan only watches, frozen. A red hart faces a butcher.

She has an advantage, maybe. If the beast does not look for her, perhaps it will not see her. Regan's bow is sturdy, but her aim has never been the best, and the beast moves erratically - not unlike an injury, or something like an injury. If she could just get a better shot - Regan steps forward, right into a twig.

The… thing… it turns to face her. It snarls, its mouth levering open with some amount of difficulty. She cannot - Regan's never seen anything like it, skin so gray and sunken, so many stitches on someone still living, still shaped like a human. Such a fog in its mismatched eyes. She hesitates. She always hesitates. She cannot help hesitating. It raises an arm and throws its lance.

It hits.
