OP's opinion:

I mean... Jill literally drove a car off a roof. Just saying. I would say Grace, but I kind of think she doesn't drive at all.

men will do literally anything other than engaging in pro-social community-oriented behavior and then get online and complain about how masculinity is vilified and men aren't allowed to be heroes anymore

[roycohn]

"all men really want is to feel like the hero" okay then volunteer at a food bank. get narcan training. step in when a woman is being harassed on the street. help out an elderly neighbor with shopping or home repairs. learn how to safely de-escalate fights. help your friends move. join or start your workplace union. become a big brother or volunteer coach for kids' sports. clean up your local park or get involved in some local conservation campaign. do your own damn dishes. notice what needs to be done and then do it. the world doesn't need heroes, it needs helpers. there are literally so many paths to finding a sense of self-respect and worth through pro-social behaviors that improve your immediate local community and help build your network of close personal connections. but these guys don't give a shit about actually contributing anything to the world. they just want to whine and fantasize.

[roycohn]

their inherent lack of self-respect is belied not only by the fact that they can't imagine doing anything that contributes to building a better, more resilient society, but how they can't imagine that doing so might involve a lot of small acts and choices and not one big act of heroism that gets them on the news as Big Man Of The Year.

me: what year was this?

person: oh this was 2008

me: ah… the final battle year

person: of what?

me: bionicle

person: your therapist isn’t working

[ganondorf]

i think this captures the defining pathology of the collective social media psyche right now. we are in the thrall of people who are wantonly cruel but who also demand to be coddled at all times in every way

[incineratedtoothpickgamer]

I was pretty much raised on "if you can't take it, don't dish it out". Now this was taught to me in the context of friendly teasing, but frankly it applies to a lot more than that.

Stephen King rightly gets a lot of shit for frequently having his characters think and speak in pop culture references that only make sense if you spent your formative years in 1970s Maine, but I feel like articulating that particular criticism on Tumblr is something of a glass-houses situation.

[prokopetz]

Like, yeah, King will have literal space aliens making pop culture references that only old men from small-town Maine would plausibly make; however, I have seen the kinds of novels that people who spent their twenties on Tumblr write, and there is also a very definite sense of time and place.

Days 15 and 16 of Hollowtober. Nosk + the Knight

[despairingrat]

Why does nobody talk about how Winged Nosk taking the form of Hornet means that Ghost had an attachment to her?? Upon getting the VoidHeart, they were no longer hollow, which is likely why they opted to just kill The Radiance instead of sealing her again in the ending where they get it. After all, Hornet NAMED Ghost (even unintentionally)! Before that, they were just a nameless vessel, and they eventually grew an attachment towards their sister

[undlark]

I still enjoy hollow knight, I just wanted to play around with animating fire and it gradually turned into this. Done in Animate

[spotsupstuff]

An older noodle thing to vent out my heartache. The ending should've been a bit different, but it has been left unfinished for a long time and I want it out of my drafts. It was a finishing speedrun today.

Tfw dearly loving another is the same as loving yourself because you are basically the same person. Making friends with them is making friends with yourself. And to love yourself is to live life again. (And that goes both ways.)

[undlark]

Had some trouble trying to dig around for some of my ol' animated gifs I made from Hollow Knight, so I figured I'll compile most of them in one post (some are too big/have audio.)

[RADIANCE]

Another Hollow Knight fan art, this time it's an epic sun moth! ~ ☀️

The idea of ​​"children of darkness against the sun god" has a personal meaning to me, so seeing it (I watched my mate play the game) brought me some special kind of delight. Of course I had to draw it, also because the Radiance has a nice symmetrical design that was interesting to interpret in my style. The moment when we saw her for the very first time was so cool :D

[rukafais]

in a dream, i saw a light that wore my mother's face

you ever think hornet got visited by radiance trying to manipulate her by promising she'd get her mother back if she set her free

[saltyfinalboss]

yep the moths are forgetting about u 👍
