You can't just drop

Me, realizing I'm about to get to tell my story about managing a hotel when there was an emergency stopover for penguin transport and we were the only place in the area with bathrooms that would work for the night:

And not elaborate

I can if I elaborated in the notes

#FIRST OF ALL I can do anything I want so jot that down #but secondly

i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: arospec twiyor‼️

#spy x family #firstly because any time a character so much as even implies they don’t understand what it means to love romantically #i’m legally obligated to hit them with the arospec beam #but secondly #it’s the way this whole series is so queer coded #they are playing at being husband and wife in a society that rigidly enforces all these gender and family roles #every day they are performing for an audience #married couples who are in love go on lovely dates together #and sleep in the same bed #and share physical contact #they’re so dedicated to acting out a prototypical romantic marriage #BUT ALSO #within this act #they are learning to create their own kind of family #even with the masks and the lies #they don’t know everything about each other yet #but there’s still a partnership developing regardless #which i feel is very aro #in the sense of like #a relationship is more what the people in it make of it than any label that you apply to it #anyways #romance as a performance #they are on the aro spectrum your honor

Just finished reading the latest chapter of Gatchiakuta.

I gotta say, it's really really dope.

I love the art style, Rudo's a really fun protagonist to watch, I love the world building and the power system.

Objectum: The Manga

#ramblings #talky tj #gachiakuta #I love the series so far!#It's been really really fun!#:D #I say Objectum the manga because like #first off /j #but secondly #it's because the power is like...#The more attached you are with an item... It gains a 'soul' and becomes a tool/weapon to use #I think it's really cool #Especially with Rudo #Because he's just like...#So cool #Like #Man.

Someone canceled their Nicole Wallace gif pack because of you. I think it’s really messed to post a gif pack of a face claim someone was actively working on

multiple gif packs of the same project are not new in the community and it happening shouldn’t be a bad thing. its a project both parties were actively working on and shouldn’t be taken that way?? it means more gifs for everyone to appreciate??

#omg???#but secondly #a creator choosing to not work on a gif pack anymore has nothing to do with me 😭

PLEASE. WILL I GET MORE THAN JUST YANQINGS IN MY LIFE? I HAVE HIM E4 WHAT DO I DO?

Offer more sacrifices. Time, patience, the card, to the great being who has triumphed over multiple star systems.

P O M - P O M

For they are always watching, to ensure the great barrier between the worthy and those that go 'Nah, I'd win.'

Hey, guys, remember how I've been promoting @aabadendingzine because I was a contributor?

Well, since the piece is available for public consumption now, even if you didn't preorder it, you can find me on pages 61-66 or on my ao3 page. It's called Castles Crumbling and explores what happens if you get the bad ending in Turnabout Succession. Gonna warn you up front, it deals with a lot of heavy topics, including an overdose that could be read as a suicide. If you're not in a place where you can handle all of that, that's perfectly fine and you can wait until you are. It's not going anywhere.

Thank you again to everyone at Mea Culpa for taking a chance on me even without any previous zine experience and for making me feel like a valued member of the collaborative team. I had the time of my life being killed by dragons with you.

#apollo justice: ace attorney #self promo #not going to tag all the characters and shit cause like #i'm not kidding when i say it's heavy #usually when i write stories that involve death and that explore grief i explore how you can learn to live without what you lost #and with the empty space that takes it's place #this story missed that memo #but i'm still very proud of it and #if you like this kind of thing #first off #god bless all of us who shun the light #but secondly #i hope you enjoy how dark it is in here

Like. I get why people portray Arceus as malicious in Legends Arceus. But like. I just think that’s a really boring take, lol.

Arceus is a god, the God of the entire Pokémon world, and that is a very different thing than being the God of our world. We don’t get any indication of how omniscient Arceus is, for all we know, it isn’t. But more importantly, Arceus is a Pokémon, not a human, and it might not even think like we do. It may have an entirely different set of morals than we do that is just as valid, because, and I cannot stress this enough, morality is a subjective concept created by humans that has no actual bearing on reality. Like, we can argue all day on it, but morality is literally just not actually a thing that exists, not an objective measure of reality, but a human concept we apply to it. It just isn’t real.

Not to say that the “Unknowable God” trope isn’t overdone either, but I honestly think that it’s far more interesting than a God that has obvious and understandable motives like carelessness or cruelty. The idea that Arceus is intentionally sent Ingo to the past and then just abandoned him is… silly, to me, IMO. Like, the player quite obviously can die repeatedly in Legends Arceus, like, sure, you “black out” and get “rescued”, but like… let’s be real. Half of the things you get “rescued” for would have smashed you into paste. The fact that you are in a rescuable state is a Miracle with a capital M for Godly interference.

So you’re telling me that Arceus, who literally sends you to Hisui with a GodPhone in your pocket, who resurrects you from any of your stupid dumbass deaths, just gave up when Ingo got a concussion/met Uxie? Just said “oops, better luck next human”? Then why did it choose to help Rei/Akari? Why did it decide not to try again with Ingo? Why didn’t it just ditch Rei/Akari when they die and summon a new person and try again? It just raises too many questions.

Realistically, Ingo was just a fluke that Volo summoned with his little reality fuckups, and Arceus doesn’t really know or care about him being displaced. Because, well, it happens all the time. Fallers are just a natural phenomenon and part of the natural order of things. Sometimes shit happens. Just because we as the audience care about it doesn’t mean it’s somehow more special than any of the other times it happened.

Yes, Rei/Akari is a child. But I think it’s way more interesting if that’s just… not a concept that occurred to Arceus as a problem. The concept of childhood is, again, an entirely human construct that does not concretely exist as a definable state, but rather a nebulous concept we apply to reality as a species to protect our young from trauma. Trauma, as well, is a subjective experience that Arceus, as a god, may not even posses! The concept of trauma might not even exist to Arceus! We get no indication it can read minds, that it knows everything you experience or think! The likely thing is that Rei/Akari was simply chosen because they were the correct choice in Arceus’s eyes with no consideration to human concepts like them being “too young”, because it has no knowledge or interest in them.

And like, that’s not good! I certainly wouldn’t argue any of it is a just or good thing to do, but the thing is that it’s fundamentally different than us and does not process either reality or morality like we do. I think it’s much more interesting is Arceus just… isn’t like us. Doesn’t think like us or know how we think, simply processing information in an entirely different way than we do.

And like, you can criticize that, but I think treating Arceus as a malevolent force undermines the incredible potential of engaging with an entirely different concept of a creator deity than traditional religion gives. One that doesn’t care in the same way we do, doesn’t think in the same way we do, but rather created the world and then created children to do the rest, who created their own children and so on. That watches us and doesn’t interfere, and the problem of evil just isn’t a question? Why does a good God let bad things happen? Because it’s neither good nor evil, and it “lets” the world play out because it doesn’t interfere in ways we expect.

And that can be criticized! What if God could learn to care like we do? But… then, who’s to say we’re right? Either way, making an Arceus that responds in anger to being questioned or judged as evil, that rules over reality with a golden hoof, I just find that intensely boring, having a God that actually cares like that in such petty ways, it’s just too understandable, doesn’t dive enough into what it means to be a creator deity that isn’t human. It’s just too recognizable and not interesting enough. Declaring Arceus uniformly bad is just… silly to me. Too, idk, Christian. Too much like gods as described in our mythology. We have an entirely different world with a different origin, and you’re just going to make God again? Man, that’s lame as shit.
