Okay, if you like fromsoft games or love bloodborne/love a challenge/love horror juxtaposed against endearing whimsy, please check out Lies of P.

The part of me that couldn't stop laughing at the game's name and the concept of "Edgelord Pinnochio Bloodborne Clone" can no longer fathom thinking of the game as anything other than "AMAZING!!!!!!! SO GOOD!!!!!!!! THAT TEAM SHOULD BE SO PROUD!!!! WHAT AN ASTONISHING CREATIVE ACHIEVEMENT!!!" I already knew I was on the "i'd recommend this to anyone who likes these types of games or wants to try them" team, but now that is 10000% And even better, it has filled me with so much art inspiration after exploring its world and collecting beautifully designed costumes. The world building/world design is so, so so so very actualized and charming.

#yackin #my favorite way to describe the story/writing of this game is #that it vibes like one of those fanfics that is written by an exceptionally talented 17 year old #because it's full to the brim with nothing but earnest whimsy and heart on its sleeve cringe #as in the type of cringe that wraps back around to being endearing due to how honest it is #because the cold hard world and bitter critics haven't stomped it out of them yet #so it's a real treat to see a polished game that plays smooth as butter have that sort of story #it's shocking how good the experience is with such a tiny team #it's just nice to get to read/experience a story with great gameplay that feels very Untampered With by moneybag CEOs #it might be my favorite souls style game now #anyway hi I woke up at 3 am today

come to think of it another reason I'm biased towards nine might be because we never reach such beautiful casual queer vibes as the doctor + rose + jack situation again, at least not as far as I've watched. like I'm honestly not that much of a shipper but that kiss scene DOES things to me. and part of that is how loosely defined the relationship seems to be, at least maybe from jack's perspective. I can't rightly say it was wholly romantic in canon, but it sure was something - yes, rose flirted with jack way more than the doctor did when they first met, but the doctor even just being chill about jack kissing him feels significant - and I do love a quasi-romantic loosely-defined Something.

#doctor who #falderal speaks #I have stills from the jack+rose and jack+doctor kisses because I'm. normal about it #and I think we avoid seeing the doctor's face during or right after because they didn't want to shock the viewers too much? #if we don't see the doctor's face or reaction it can be waved off as just a Jack Being Jack thing #and it leaves us this sort of... almost plausible denability almost ambiguity #and again that may just be the vibe jack brings to it #it honestly makes me a little sad that he feels so different in torchwood #because I almost wanna say that pre-torchwood jack is maybe just LIKE this with his close friendships #maybe he comfortably straddles/ignores the line between friendship and romance when that's safe and welcome #(or else just falls into that with rose and the doctor specifically) #and maybe he's just lived through so much by torchwood (or lived so long in such a restrictive culture) #that he just. doesn't do that anymore. can't. #those are my feelings on it at least! #I haven't strayed into the fandom at ALL I just grew up with the show so nobody read this as reacting to any trends in the fandom pls #anyway apparently I'm mostly feral about the relationships I can think about and ship in a queerplatonic way #which will be a surprise to absolutely no-one who knows me from fandom stuff #but I hadn't thought to think about these three that way before. and it's a treat. #drafted last night just posted today #(like this was probably the first queer character and queer kiss I saw on screen and it was a nationally beloved family-friendly show) #(I'm basically obligated not to be normal about it)

why are people shocked that h*mas has treated the hostages with respect does anyone understand what the strategic point in taking hostages is? the whole point is to make sure they're okay and well-cared for because otherwise there's no leverage for negotiations. do i think the hostages are actually sooo thankful to the hostages for being so nice to them and their children? i don't know, i mean i wouldn't be surprised either way - hard to be thankful for being taken hostage but i can also imagine feeling pleasantly surprised when you are treated with respect and dignity by h*mas when they take you hostage.

i'm not saying taking hostages is good i cannot believe i have to say that but people will read that and say "ooHOOO so you're saying h*mas is good and kind, you're falling for propaganda!!!" no i am just using my brain. unlike everyone who is against a ceasefire at the bare minimum, because apparently yall are okay with the rest of the hostages being in harm's way.

not to mention the entirety of the palestinian population in the gaza strip are hostages essentially and the palestinian prisoners have NOT been treated with such dignity and respect for their wellbeing. but again, treating the hostages you've taken with respect is the barest of bare minimums.

#i saw some translated letters just now and LOL #ummmm also do you think it's possible they were coerced? #of course it's possible that they genuinely did appreciate being treated with respect and with relative kindness butttttt #i wasn't born yesterday folks #can we use our brains pls #those hostages are probably the most safe people in gaza tbh #because that's the point #although the israeli gov hasn't held back from just wiping people out left and right so either they knew the hostages weren't at risk or #they don't care #which... imo its the latter #free palestine #btw the answer is people are shocked because they're racists #and/or do not know anything about anything lol because rule number one of hostage taking is don't let them get hurt

chung myung surviving the war au is soooo good i saw sum art and its making me thinkkkkkk..i know i said if chung myung were to have survived after the beheading cheonma, he would have spiraled under the sudden loss of everything he loved and cared for and wasted away, but i also think that if he had forced himself headfirst into the rebuilding of mount hua, of locating and burying or burning the bodies of the dead, sending search parties out to find the members of the sect who had gone missing in the chaotic fray of war, if he kept himself busy and moving at all hours of the day and night without rest, he would have found a rhythm in the dissociative fog and kept himself sane even if the fuel in his tank had long since run out... it took chung myung eighty years to grow out a single streak of white in his hair, but by the end of it all, only mere months after the war, with the sect still struggling to find its feet, his head had gone entirely white

#the sudden and shocking stress and trauma of both body and mind rapidly turning chung myungs hair white is so (chef kiss #its like all those years he spent acting childish and immature caught up to him..aging him dramatically and drastically.. #i think 2 keep himself moving & sane he wouldnt let anyone treat his wounds.. hed walk around w the gaping open wound where his arm once wa #he probably caught a fever and let it get infected so it scarred over and healed wrong

one of my favorite taylor songs to listen to the first time was happiness because i have a visceral memory of hearing the line “i hope she’ll be a beautiful fool / who takes my spot next to you” and literally gasping out loud before hearing that the next line was basically taylor saying “oh no i take that back sorry” and letting out a little relieved breath and giggling like oh she gets me!

#we can have a little resentment and bitterness and ill wishes as a treat of course #but that line is just so harsh it really takes you aback not even just at first but every single time i hear it it’s so cutting #and i will never forget first hearing it and being shocked and then taylor immediately taking it back. i thought it was silly and real and #poignant and honest and incredible #we all say things irrationally when we’re mad or think things or do things even when we’re aware that it’s irrational in the moment #even when you take it back right away and i loved that she put that into a song #taylor swift #mine #i need everyone to know that this originally had a typo #and said ‘who takes me spot next to you’ #pirate! taylor #shrek! taylor #i hope those aren’t existing tags

Hear me out:

There was one star on that plane and it was you. Olli doesn't know what he missed

anyone can learn to play bass but does he have a semi-popular tumblr account for reblogging eurovision memes

#this is gonna sound so cheesy but just those couple of minutes took all the darkness and self-criticism away from my brain #at least for the time being #it was just so... nice #HE was so nice. and kind. and gentle. and like #you guys know how much people being kind and nice to me always surpises me #so #you know #one of the people I look up to the most in the world #treated me like an equal #it's just-- mindblowing #surreal #I'm still so shocked that he treated me like I was a human being #looked me in the eyes and smiled at me and giggled and it was just to comforting and ok I'm gonna cry again and I don't want to #asks

Word of advice: never become a manager

#I fucking hate this job I do not get paid enough to deal with an owner who treats anyone who isnt a cis man as inferior #when he couldn't even work a single day in his own store without fucking up because he doesnt even know how to use the register #and all those men that you pay more? all those men that you discuss wages with in the interview when women don't get that? #yeah they all leave or fuck things up so badly that they get fired for horrendous acts #but those women and transmen that you employ myself included have all been here for at minimum one to three years #and those men don't last 6 months #shocking that they come in #find out theyre getting paid a dollar less than your assistant manager and realize they don't have to do shit to get paid #they just have to exist #but your longest standing employees have to confront you about raises that they should have received months ago #anyways if I have to listen to him talk to me like I'm one of his children tomorrow I'm going to quit #and if I leave so will the other staff members at my location #good luck opening a new store when you don't even have staff for this one if you fuck up so bad tomorrow

Isn't it so exciting when a disabled character stays disabled? And it isn't the end of the world?

#like I get things like incomplete tetra/paraplegia can be treated with physical therapy #etc. #but thats not what I'm talking about #also those people generally aren't ever 100% again #but whenever I watch/read something where the character isn't magically cured I just have to sit there in shock for a minute #I watched Quest for Camelot a few years ago because I saw a bunch of people talking about it #and I kept waiting for the guy to be cured with the power of live or some shit #Jack Hodgins #does Kanan Jarrus count? #Ed Elric #he got his arm back but not his leg so #*love not live

I think the most evil thing I've ever done is hardlocked anyone who wants to see my Scott Pilgrim fanart into having to sit through all my roleplay for it, actually

#passing thoughts with pine #like: ''sorry! you wanted your silly little gay people?'' *kerblasts you with extremely long rp threads where i treat every reply like im + #+writing fanfiction* #ik no one cares or is actually vibing w it or else no one would be following me sfjkhsdjf but it's really funny to me #the day i stop actively doing things on this blog and i go back and reblog everything to my art blog... those people are gonna be so shocke #like ''damn bitch!!! this is where you've been hiding!!!'' sjfgskhdgjlshdj those people have been so neglected lately. all i do is SP now-- #((anyway. going back to eating now. will return to roleplay once i have eaten At Least Twelve of these little bitches)) #ooc #txt

im trying to respond to people on my post who have questions or are confused but theres just so many 😭 i dont know how to explain the intricacies of classism or how hard it is to get a lawyer to start and WIN a discrimination case. especially since i dont know australian laws. but like... this behavior, denying someone a job for their outfit, is really common across the world. classism is pervasive and it's dangerous and it costs people their lives. we would have to change the capitalist system, change policies across the globe, and work on our internalized classist beliefs for the rest of our lives.

#i think a lot of people are sharing the post in shock and horror. not knowing that this happens to people every day. which is really sad. #like. this is an issue that is literally ignored and swept under the rug. to the point where people dont think about it. even though like. #when you hear about Interview/Business Culture you know you have to dress well. everyone knows that's like step 1. but people havent #actually stopped and asked what the purpose of that is or what that means. people haven't considered what happens if you break that rule. or #why that rule is there at all... emily gwen said that they can't afford new clothing. and couldnt get the words out in the moment. but like. #imagine this from the interviewer's perspective. she saw someone who was 'unprofessional' because of their clothing. and that's fucked up! #WE know the situation because of their post. but they shouldnt need to justify their attire like that to get a damn job. we dont need to #know someones circumstances to treat them like a person. and i want everyone to really think about this. how many times in your life have #you seen someone with worn out clothes. dirty clothes. clothes with holes in them. clothes that are 'too casual' for their setting. and how #have you treated those people? how have you thought about them? and think about this in media. how many people with bad clothes are seen as #irresponsible? or treated like shit? this happens every day. and it's not australia specific or america specific either. it's everywhere. #so please show others compassion. this experience is traumatic and alienating. it's hard to reach out. its embarassing to talk about. #and it's even harder to get legal defense for this stuff. you need money and you need solid proof. oftentimes people have neither. #other things to consider clothing-wise: clothes that dont fit. too big or too small. modified outfits. clothes that dont match the weather #(like wearing a sweater in the summer or thin shirts/shorts in the winter). like. these are things people judge all the time idk. #what happened to emily was horrific. but it's not new and youre not immune to thinking the same way. #anis gaymer moments

Thinking about the disturbing implications of Cain's story and destiny from the Bible rn

#cw religion #no because like. cain didn't come out of the womb throwing rocks; how did he even think that it was healthy to stone his brother? it leads #me to believe that potentially; he either saw the angel war going on in the sky and thought that those who stayed in heaven and were treated #well; even with the violence that happened (from what he had seen and potentially heard); were. well how to say it. their actions were #normal. god created everything; and can think anything as normal. or he saw his parents fighting. i refuse to believe that adam and eve were #one of those healthy couples; even after the biting of the apple and getting kicked out of the garden of eden. i fear that cain and abel saw #the two fighting; potentially even going as far as to threaten each other with stones; and when the two excused it; the kids thought of it #as normal. keep in mind: violence is not born out of nowhere unless you're god; violence is taught; seen; heard of. it didn't make it any #better that there seemed to be no other people outside of the family yet that could tell them that that behaviour was wrong. so imagine #cain's shock upon seeing his brother not breathing. the shock that he murdered him. the shock that the threats that his parents did to each #other or that the angel war happening; were not normal. his brother was dead now. of course he had to lie when god came by. he quite surely #felt panicked to the point that he accidentally made a comeback to god. how could he not? he was a kid. they both were. and he felt regret. #he felt remorse. he felt anger to himself. and yet; god punished him. cain thought it was fair; because he killed his brother. but after a #while; it didn't seem fair. as he grew up; he thought that god telling him that he would be cursed to spend eternity roaming around the #earth would only last for until he was in his 30s. mortality rates were quite surely high back then; so he naturally thought that what god #said was metaphorical. because caine felt that way. that his remorse and anger and pain would roam eternally on earth. but after his #partner; and his children; and his grandchildren; and his great-grandchildren died; it didn't seem to be fair anymore. he wanted to die. he #had witnessed and felt everything: the flood; the crossing of the sea; the plagues; the goddamned everything. he still felt pain. he knew #why he was cursed; but he felt like what god did; was just plain cruel. he felt as though purgatory and getting juried out to see if you #were getting sent to hell or to heaven; was much more simplier; and had less pain; than dealing with the fact that you were now just a #walking body. something that used to be a person. something that should've been dead a long time ago. and yet. he was still alive. he just #wanted it to end. he knew what he did was wrong. but he just wanted to go back home. he wanted to start from scratch and be protective of #his brother and run away from god's view. but he couldn't now. he was cursed. he is now just a legend. a myth. a terror tale amongst the #folks in several towns that swear that they had seen him amongst the shadow. he must've been. after all; he looked ghastly enough to have a #tale or two written about him. ...would cain go near jesus? to ask him to please grant him mercy from this thing that he had now become? #or would he frightened? fearing that jesus would be as cruel as his god? obviously caine would be worried. jesus is supposed to be god's #child after all... i don't know it's just he reminds me of twilight sparkle and i just had to write this down- #cw corpse #spideygal #spideygal oc

I hate when one of my “friends” tells me that he’s just won’t be himself when he’s around me / when literally doing the most weirdest shit to me or saying the most insensitive stuff to me.. like times like this is why I REGRET making friends with people outside of my friend group

#weepy chatting #nobody cares weepy #weeps.txt #im just shocked by the audacity is all #Like he goes and makes these weird scenarios saying #“Oh krissy you laughed at me getting rejected” #IN REALITY I have yet to care or laugh at those scenarios #But I digress #he can treat me like his therapist but god forbid I ask to just stay as friends and suddenly I’m public enemy no.1 #yes you can have your girlfriend ( now EX ) grill me like a bozo but OH god forbid I complain #Sorry for the nasty tangent yall- im just so annoyed and pissed by the audacity #And then my games acting up which is even more annoying as is #Might delete later tbh…ain’t nobody want to see this 😭 #“You laughed at me not getting diagnosed” #“You laughed at me not staying w a girl longer than a month” bitch stfu literally

i'm so glad to actually be taking care of myself for once (:

#random thoughts #this uh. this isn't something i've ever talked about but. sometimes i just don't feel motivated to do things for myself #like. washing my face or brushing my teeth. i don't know why. but i'm finally adding those back into my daily routine (: #i'm also doing shit like weightlifting because. it makes me feel good! very euphoric #also. speaking of euphoria #working on a way to tell my classmates about my new name. my homeroom teacher is sending out an email to my other teachers. aaa #i'm going to tell some of them over text beforehand of course. i don't want them to be shocked #they might hate me because last school year i uh. well. was pretty indecisive about my name. but i think crispin is just right for me yknow #but yes! doing things for myself. i might buy myself a little treat because. i deserve it (:<
