you literally have to unironically listen to some shit like party rock anthem so you don’t kill yourself

Primarily knowing Jonathan Bailey as the English voice of G'raha Tia gets funnier and funnier the more successful he becomes.

the worst is wanting to create and create and create but being trapped in a body that is so so so so tired

my fave writing reminder

honestly, this phrase has been on my mind more times than i can count. i've kidnapped it, taken it as a hostage with no ransom money because i need it to live permanently in my head.

mierda

[septemberkisses]

the fact that i'm no longer the same age as the protagonists of novels and films i once connected to is so heartbreaking. there was a time when I looked forward to turning their age. i did. and i also outgrew them. i continue to age, but they don't; never will. the immortality of fiction is beautiful, but cruel.

Honestly, in my work as a therapist, I’m seeing this A Lot, and tbh I still don’t have a satisfactory approach to it. A heavy dose of Existentialist “create your own Purpose” tempered with “when the plane’s going down, put your own oxygen mask on first”, but… yeah, there is no ethical way to work on individual emotional distress without acknowledging the systemic socioeconomic, geopolitical fuckery going on at the moment, and the sheer grief that comes with it.

This is one of those areas where like on the one hand as a chronic moderate-severe depressive this shit hits me hard and on the other I’m watching people technically more mentally healthy than me struggle with the vast pointless mess of existence for the first time and it’s a trip.

Some tips from the inside, in case they help:

- life has always been pointless. Or rather, we have always been unable to control the relative point-fulness of life. The factors involved in opening the possibilities of who can have a large scale impact where are so insanely complex that they can at best only be pieced together imperfectly in retrospect

- the only thing that has changed is your awareness of this fact. No, seriously. The sun will eventually swallow the planet; at any moment without our knowledge or control the sun could flare in weird ways that will kill us all; etc. There was geopolitical and socioeconomic fuckery as bad or worse going on before: you just didn’t see it. Promise.

- you do what you can with what you have. You do what’s in front of you. Humanity has survived all of this before; it may survive it again. It may not. You can only do what you can: take what lessons exist from the past and apply them.

- sometimes it is just that bad and they are totally out to get you. The question is, what do you do about it?

- almost without exception in human history the answer has been “build community; support the one you have; reach out to connect MORE and to make the world more kind and less hateful than before.”

- recognize you’re trying to tackle god-level problems with a brain originally meant for keeping small proto-fish from being eaten. Treat that part of your brain like a very anxious toddler or rescue pitbull. Give it small measurable victories and successes even if you have to make them up. Make sure it’s fed and watered and has enough rest. Medicate it if you have to - there’s nothing wrong with that. The opposite, in fact.

We are hairless plains apes living in a thin skin of atmosphere between spinning liquid superheated death and the void of absolute cold, sustained by the radiation of a supermassive explosion that will kill us at the slightest excuse. We have always been unlikely and implausible and probably doomed which means every moment we are able to live, thrive and help others do so is an incredible victory. Don’t quit now. ❤️

This is as true five years later, for the record. And it will be true five years from now.

"People need to read the book to see how dramatic book-Howl is!" True, but on top of that, even people who read the book need to read the sequels..

Pre-Endwalker G'raha is my favorite wholesome dumbass.

FUCK I love FFXIV's writing. The writers seriously made me go from full on ugly crying about Exarch G'raha's death, then turned on a fucking dime to having me absolutely cackling at dumbass Mi'quote boyfriend's stupidity.

Like, first of all. G'raha's introduction as a Scion, where the writers just fully drag G'raha for filth.

"Oh hey, Scions. I know I was directly responsible for averting a timeline in which all of you, including the WoL died, by helping to save two fucking worlds, but I dunno. Are you sure I'm cool enough to be in your club?"

Honestly, "G'raha, really" is far too mild a response. Like.

G'raha. My dude. My guy. My sibling in Hydaelyn. I say this with all the love in the world, but stop being fucking delusional.

The dumbassery continues IMMEDIATELY upon starting 5.4, when G'raha stresses privately to you that 'what if he was too casual in his greeting'. You know, like, 'what if they don't know I respect them sooooo much' or whatever.

Yeah. Okay. Can you stop being fucking adorable for a minute and come to this meeting?

When Lyse shows up, G'raha fanboys to himself about meeting Lyse fucking Hext. And when Alphinaud has the audacity to remind G'raha that he was FUCKING INSTRUMENTAL to that whole "saving The First" thing y'all just finished doing, you can practically watch his soul leave his body.

And look. As someone who feels almost physical pain when I am praised in front of other people, it's probably hypocritical to enjoy his suffering so much. But I do. I really do.

And yet, despite his constant hero-worship of the other Scions - which he is now a member of - and his complete and total inability to hide his feelings about anything, he's somehow shocked. SHOCKED. When Y'shtola is like, bro go spend time with your hero, it's fine.

Hero? Oh. Uh. No, it's just. I mean, I literally died for them. And I give them big calf-eyes whenever they're around. And I follow them around like an adorable house cat with their favorite human, but. I mean. I'm just trying to be useful.

Reader, I love him.

going through the new voice lines added for mahjong and graha's are the most unhinged by far

I find it really funny that the last two Dragon Age games have advisors to guide them through the game. Like the Hero of Fereldan got a brief introduction and a slap on the ass before being immediately placed in charge.
