#Seriously. I may just give this a try.

Sooooo...
A TF2 sentry gjinka known as Mimi has gotten all over the internet lately. Even I've gotten as far as making a tupper for her yellow counterpart, Nikki, and even plan on giving her a full-fledged backstory.
...but wait. I'M ALSO AN ARTIST!
I could draw her if I wanted to. Hell, I might even keep her around, even if Mimi's popularity eventually dies down.
So, maybe I'll do exactly that! How hard could it be?

the 2024 grid as kpop girl group/female soloist songs*
Max - Shut Down by blackpink - the impetus for this post, there could never be any doubt. Shout out @drivestraight @earthdoves
Checo - Good Morning by Yena - I...don't have a good explanation for this one, other than to remind you all that this man puts iguanas on his head.
Charles - Lovesick Girls by blackpink - LISTEN, listen, serial monogamist Charles Leclerc, perpetual romantic Charles Leclerc, always-the-bridesmaid Charles Leclerc....he understands this song, I know it in my bones (as I know in my bones that he will NOT always be the bridesmaid, to be clear)
Carlos - Icy by Itzy - contract negotiation anthem
Lando - Palette by IU ft G-Dragon - a song about being 25 and growing into yourself but knowing you're still growing (okay yes he's not 25 yet but he would be under the traditional Korean age system)
Oscar - SHOOT! by Itzy - laidback vibe/basketball reference/he WILL shoot his shot in a race
George - Anywhere But Home by Seulgi - this one is a little but opaque but I think of George as someone who consistently tries to build himself anew, in a way I find fascinating
Lewis - I Am the Best by 2NE1 - self-explanatory, really
Fernando - 28 Reasons by Seulgi - taking pleasure in being the villain (he is saying "I kiss your brother" to Esteban about Lance...in my mind)
Lance - BBIBBI by IU - Lance is excellent at keeping boundaries with the press/public
Yuki - Never Stop Me by (G)I-dle - something about defiance of expectations in the face of a public that doesn't believe in you
Dan - Forever Young by blackpink
Hulk - 24 Hours by Itzy - this is about him dragging that Haas in to Q3 last year (sorry I'm very tired this is the last one and that's the best I can do)
KMag - As If It's Your Last by blackpink - but specifically Coachella 2019 when Rosie starts is by screaming "I want everyone to dance LIKE IT'S YOUR LAST" kind of threateningly
Esteban - Better Things by Aespa - Alpine, fix the car please
Pierre - Fate by (G)I-dle - sometimes it's just like that
Alex - Uh-Oh by (G)I-dle - this is about him showing everyone what he could do when he came back to the grid from 2022 on, but it's also specifically about him saying how he's only acknowledged as a British driver if he does well at Silverstone
Logan - In My Dreams by Red Velvet - :( sorry
Guanyu - I Am by Ive - he is so freaking cool
Valtteri - Impurities by Le Sserafim - Valtteri is willing to lay bare the difficult things about being an F1 driver in away that I find really admirable....plus the nudity
BONUS: Off the Record by Ive is incredibly Piarles coded, fight me
*this is by no means definitive, it is based entirely on my whims and limited kpop knowledge (largely 3rd-4th gen) and also I finished it at like 3 am so I may have forgotten something obvious
#did i give my favorite driver my favorite kpop song? yes#it's my list that's my right#long post#trying to do this semi-seriously and not just make it be mean jokes about song titles was so difficult#this was a truly batshit pointless exercise that may make sense to no one but me asjlkfjakl;f

im so mad that this is a side blog account and not a main account. i started this blog when i was still relatively new to tumblr and i think i was… like. fourteen years old or something. i never thought i would continue for this long, and i never knew so many people would like the content i put out here (i have over 9k followers which is literally mind-blowing, like wow….).
because this isnt a main account, i cant respond to replies left on my posts, i cant really reply to anyone unless i reblog !! i cant even follow people with this blog, it just comes up as my main blog (which is not pjo-related… rip my failed attempts at organising my fandoms to different blogs). so my avenues of interaction with a lot of you are seriously impeded.
so i just want to say i am so thankful for all of you, i read every single person’s tags who reblog my stuff, i read all of your replies and every time im crying screaming rolling around on the ground in agony over the fact i CANT REPLY!!
i know my posts are super inconsistent these days, im glad so many are still here! i think i may change some of my content eventually (never gonna get rid of the incorrect quote stuff, i’ll just be adding some other things like pjo headcanons or analyses or something), just to spice some stuff up on here.
#also! im currently writing a fantasy book rn and have been so stressed over the fact that authors are expected to have a following before—#—reaching out to agencies with a manuscript. and i seriously stress about creating a following.#so my backup plan is literally you guys. my four year old pjo account on tumblr with its silly little quotes 😭😭#and like. if that works. could you imagine. that you guys may actually save my future ??? like?? i love you guys for just following me bc ??#YOU MAY SAVE ME FROM THE CAPITALIST PRESSURES OF SENSATIONALISING ONES OWN ART FOR INVESTED SUCCESS YAYYYYYY#anyways im not going to promote it now bc its still in the first draft area. not near for me to even go thru revisions yet. i may never-#-promote it on here. i dont want to annoy people with suddenly changing tracks. and i def wont transform this blog into a self promo for me-#-thats never going to happen! i would make another blog for it but for now everything’s just an idea!#i just wanted to say thank you because this has been giving me so much anxiety especially since graduating high school. the problems of—#—trying to be an author have become more pressing and immediate for me. i hope it will happen one day but who knows#you guys give me confidence though. and i literally cannot thank u guys enough (I HATEEEEE THE CAREER ANXIETY)#not riordanverse#not incorrect either#for followers#rewriting#sorry for the whole essay in the tags ☠️

#my besties here at college#when i came in we used to talk about stuff and she'd get surprised and ask me how i notice such small things#and have detailed description of everything#and always made jokes on me being deep analyzer and taking things too seriously#it was fun mostly but one time she made it in front of bcg that was when i began to have crush on him#i got so defensive i actually said not my fault you view life so blantly and superficially#how can you not see the beauty that comes in patterns that must feel awful being that oblivious almost disrespectful to nature#and i said it ofc in the funny manner and that may sound really rude but she took it in a positive way#so she began taking interest in everything and started to try to discuss and know my opinions about everything#and i loved that there was someone listening so fascinately like a kid#simultaneously she uses a lot of shuddh hindi vocab not even adults speak like that#and it was just weird to me to listen them in normal conversations#but since ive been good at hindi literature and have a good vocab i tried it too#used to feel so awkward at first almost like the words took too much effort to come out of mouth#because obviously i grew to learn the internet slangs and their medium is english so my mode of expression in hindi was#but now she surprises me with talking about things and noticing what escapes my attention#and i have to mock her say its not that deep#and i while speaking use too many shudh hindi words and then when she can't find a word i think before and give synonyms as well#and we both laugh#ive said this before ig

there really is no chance of blacklisting your way out of baldur's gate spoilers on this website, is there
#gonna know an unfortunate amount of Stuff by the time I finally get to that game!#whenever that may be#i might just watch my partner play it tbh. I can't deal with turn-based mechanics at that scale#it also seriously goes off the chart on my UI clutter thresholds. but I'll certainly give it a good college try I promise! it feels dutiful#text

kh4 rambling below the cut
im hoping they include multiple character campaigns for KH4. not just because i wanna see characters be playable that we havent seen in a while, or at all. but also because i feel like a whole game centered on sora in quadratum would get really difficult to tell a story in. not because interesting things couldn't happen. but the series has always had everyone venturing to other worlds to help progress the plot.
having sora, as limber and mobile as he was in that kh4 trailer, be secluded to a city, feels like he'd outpace the world itself and you'd end up traversing the same maps for tens of hours of game time. im sure there's gonna be plenty of narrative to push that world around, but i just dont wanna be in that single world the entire game.
it's part of why i wasn't the biggest fan of chain of memories. i didnt hate the story, and i didnt dislike castle oblivion. but KH excels at having the characters just be all over the universe in their journey. COM sorta shirks the responsibility of telling its story in one world by having illusions of the other worlds. but the most important parts are still only in castle oblivion. and after an hour or so of those cutscenes, it really starts to dawn on me how much ive grown used to the white walls of the castle.
perhaps that was the point? it's been a handful of years since those days, so i couldnt say anymore. ive grown up a lot since then, thematic choices will appear different to me from when i was a kid.
i digress, it'd also be a shame to bring back the whole main cast properly in kh3, free of their shackles or imprisonments, and then have them scarcely appear in the next mainline game. the hints that kairi will be training with ventus, terra, and aqua are already there, which gives me hope. donald and goofy are out looking for sora on their own, while mickey is on his way to the old scala ad caelum. it definitely FEELS like everyone is gonna be present.
im simply praying.
#kh4 spoilers#kingdom hearts#stormy weather#im also just looking into combat design myself for future games#i wanna try and design things or at least give a premise#i know a handful of friends who have experience in video game departments#but they're often dry on ideas because of how workaholic the nature of the job can be#combat systems can be rought to make enjoyable without outside perspective#what you might find fun can be utterly awful for others#like some KH2 mods that may seriously improve the game's combat#but also make it a lot more tedious to pull off things that other mainline games would otherwise just hand over to you#it's like devil may cry in a way#there's the balance between base entry gameplay and a high skill ceiling#i feel like kh should have that style of combat#something you can mash x through if you wanted to#but challenging once you put it on critical mode to get the player to adapt more#kh2 did this really well in my eyes#shying from revenge values on bosses like roxas ofc#roxas and his ground revenge attack where he just chainsaws you and you die.#good times.

It's also just so incredibly frustrating because people will take any example of a (usually male) character being horrible as some sort of "proof" that they're mentally ill (which, hmm, interesting that your automatic explanation for "why do they choose to treat other people horribly" is "they have a mental illness that just Makes Them Act Like That"), but there is no kind of nuanced or critical discussion of media that ACTUALLY (for ill or for good) tries to depict mental illness, and you try to recommend media that handles it well (that might even be good for other, completely unrelated reasons!!) and people just ignore you.
#I'm going to work myself into a Full Rant™ a la the infamous '[this topic] in fiction' essay from two & a half years ago if I'm not careful#so I'm going to stop now. but I just. I want to fucking scream lmao.#honestly...once mental health awareness month hits in may I might just genuinely try my hand at making gifs#just to give stuff some fucking visibility lmao#maybe I'll try to get that 'emotional support dw lady shares my Disorder™ and here's why' fic finished (or the one about lizzie)#maybe every day is me explaining why a different character has a given mental illness according to me#maybe I'll write 3 million essays. idk. I just feel like I'm yelling into the void. I HAVE been yelling into the void for 20 years.#it gets exhausting. and tbh. also very sad.#like at this point I'm seriously considering organizing an event of some kind#but Idk if anyone would even be INTERESTED in that#because they're certainly not interested in anything regarding this topic in general!#In the Vents

so how tf does it work that am are going on tour for the first time in almost 3.5 years in less than two weeks and the only “real” confirmation of a new album is still just an offhand comment matt made in an instagram live like six months ago. no offense but is there actually an album or not
#anyone else getting Bad Vibes from how silent they STILL FUCKING ARE less than two weeks out from the supposed new era? just me?#seriously W H A T ARE THEY FUCKING WAITING FOR!!!!!! I DON’T GET IT!!!!!!#they started announcing tour dates LAST NOVEMBER and we still don’t even have an official confirmation there even is a new album#can they behave like a normal fucking band and just give us a release date. i don’t even care if it’s not till 2024 I JUST WANT TO KNOW#my god. i’m literally mad at this point like this is so absurd and yeah they don’t usually release albums before tours#but they also don’t usually have such an extended hiatus between eras… and w tbhc when there was an extended hiatus#they announced the album in april and started touring in may only a week or so before the album actually dropped#so?? no this is not fucking normal even for them don’t even try to tell me it is#something’s off……………….. something’s just not right and i have no clue WHAT it is and WHY they’re being like this#god fuckdndnxjsncuiskvbs#i hate them#txt

Why do right wingers go on and ON about "father's in the home" when fathers are basically useless in the home? Like every year I see posts that go around about "dad finding out about what I got for Christmas" and it's like if fathers are so uninvolved they don't even know what Christmas gifts their kids are getting I don't think them being gone does much?? Like of course there's good and bad parents of all genders, but traditional gender roles- which the aforementioned right wingers ascribe to- mean men do jack fucking squat in the house OR anything with their kids so what the hell do right wingers think men are doing that's so important in the home if it's none of the childrearing or house work??
All I've got in this framework is a paycheque and these days women work so men wouldn't even be contributing something women DON'T, so I have no idea what these people think men are doing that it's so irreplaceable that being gone is damaging to children when by all means under their ideas of gender and family men are less than useless to their family. Women do all that work (and barring that, DAUGHTERS do more parental work than fathers so them being gone does what, exactly, except maybe rid the family of an overgrown child? Men who actually contribute are the ones families would be damaged without, not traditional men who probably don't even know how to do their own laundry OR cook or have any life skills because women have done everything for them their whole lives so???)
#winters ramblings#'no fathers in the home is what leads to gangs!' they cry while they do nothing with their kids make their wives do all the housework#and theur DAUGHTERS parent more often than THEY do. TELL ME what use you are in the house Giant Man Baby#tell me what thing you do thats of the Utmost Importance that being done causes irreversible damage to your kids#surely you being THERE isnt causing them damage right? RIGHT???? because this brand of dude being HOME#sounds worse than this brand of dude being GONE because these dudes and the women who marry them are HORRIBLE tyrants#who deserve each other but sure shit DONT deserve the kids they have then force into their lifestyle then abuse all their lives#like serioualy what the FUCK do they think men are doing thats so important in the home when their own beliefs state men do SQUAT#in the home??? do tou seriously think your PRESENCE is what does it?? pretty grandiose sense of self there huh#assuming just EXISTING beside your kids lives means youre literally holding everything together lmao like no#your wife does all that and if she isnt your KIDS do it buddy you dont do fuck all to consider yourself that important i dont get this#like literally men in traditional gender shit dont do ANYTHING outside of a job amd getting waited in hand amd foot#do you think having a personal slave you occasionally fuck is what makes you this important??#i mean the mormins say yes so hard they think a billion wives gives you a better planet in the afterlife but like come on#at least ATTEMPT to have common sense when recruiting to your nonsense beliefs#then turn around and claim GAY PEOPLE are recruiting people to their 'lifestyle' like that isnt LITERALLY THE DESCRIPTION OF MISSIONARY WORK#gays arent CHRISTIANS guys. (some are but they arent recruiting to GAYNESS even if they may try to convert you religious wise-#although i suspect a great many WOULDNT do that on account of the history between the church and gay people#so probably they just are gay and love jesus but still yall get it)

there’s so many writing choices in this film that i could gripe about but i can’t deny the way the end scenes have me chewing dry wall. we’ve just spent the entire film seeing alex paint himself as the victim in all of this, a hapless bystander swept into the insanity of nigel’s world and having to pay the price for it. there’s little hints here and there that maybe there’s more to the story - e.g. nigel’s comment about alex and susan (to which alex offers immediate refutation) - but there’s never any real and clear indication. until the end. until we get that 9 month time skip and we see sally pulling up to the cemetery. until we learn that susan’s grave has been dug up and the skull stolen. and then the train scene my god, the reality sets in that alex has been playing them this entire time, that he’s become the very thing nigel always wanted him to be. the ending to this film is both the end of alex’s story and the beginning of jack’s.
#i'm hitting a slump lately and motivation is low so have the incoherent ramblings of a mildly sleep deprived lunatic#but i always have the end of this movie on my mind#especially because i'm obsessed with it all from the pov of forbes sr. of all things?? imagine being alex's dad#your son is suspected of the murder of both susan and nigel#and then you find out he's basically been tormented by the very kid he tried to WARN you about right from the start#but you didn't take it seriously and chalked it up to his usually dramatic antics and need to act out for attention#but then it turns out that kid was not only responsible for the murder of his own parents and 2 other students#but may very well have almost killed alex that night at the railway yard#so you take him home and you try to get things back to the closest approximation of normality that you possibly can#but you've never been particularly close to your son. you struggled to form a connection with him before#and you're certainly not any better at it now after everything that's happened#so you give him space and you tell yourself that it will be alright#and then 1 day. 9 months after. you wake to find your son is gone. packed up and left#not only that. but you find out the police suspect he was lying this entire time and the grave dug up by him#what do you do? do you look for him? do you believe the police - believe your own child capable of any of the things they describe???#anyway i just have a lot of thoughts about alex's dad post-film . clearly#like minds#alex forbes#i love that john colbie gets a name but alex's dad is 'headmaster'

mfw someone i’m mutually blocked with seems to frequent this blog anyway (you know who you are)
#i’m not gonna name names but if the text in the tags managed to bring someone to mind then… that’s just how it is ig#though don’t send this to the person you think of ok? we may be thinking of different people after all soooooo yeah#let’s all stay clear out of trouble together… maybe~? i’m just gonna vent my confused frustrations in the tags in case the person sees this#seriously. haven’t i gone over this before? don’t we block each other for a reason?#you blocked me first (prolly) bc i ship lxl with each other. i blocked you in return (and bc i hate your ship just like you don’t like mine)#so… let’s just agree to stay off each other’s blogs. capisce?#i don’t like you and i know you don’t like me either. so seriously can we just coexist in separate circles or sth? stay away!!!!!!!!!!!#and like real question: if you are somehow here… why? just why? you made it clear that you don’t trust my tls so… why are you even here??#it’s getting kinda irritating to be told that you may/may not be making indirect posts @ me on main. seriously!!!!!!#i’m trying to give you the benefit of the doubt (that it may be just a small coincidence) but it’s getting real hard to do so these days#so if you’re somehow reading these tags (and idk how bc we’re mutually blocked remember) please just… stay away?????????#in all seriousness i sincerely hope that this was just a few mere coincidences#bc lbr who would willingly check the blogs of people they’ve blocked without being prompted to? it makes no sense whatsoever#i hope that this will be the last post i make about this. bc seriouslyyyyyyy i don’t have the time for this nonsense </3#and before you accuse me of wanting to start discourse i’m not!!! i just!!!! want to be left alone!!!!!!!!!!!!#let me shitpost and occasionally tl in peace pls my bones are too aged for this

Me: “it doesn’t matter if I clean my room I’m used to the disorder”
Me after cleaning my room:
“It’s like… when I used to lay in my bed it was depression. Now I feel like I’m being…hugged. 🩵 it’s so peaceful…”
Me two weeks later:
“It doesn’t matter if I clean my room I’m used to the disorder”
#seriously what’s wrong with me#it’s the adhd and executive dysfunction probably but#I’m trying so hard to keep the room clean in case I end up with surgery#I need to have everything organized so I’m not panickedly digging for things last minute#they may not even give me the option to remove it but at the same time if they do I’m gonna be like ‘asap please evict the fucker’#god help me I will be prepared#but man I hate putting things away for some fucked up reason#wrong blog again because that’s why I created swamp-lobster#but anyway I guess I’ll just tag it#Ryan’s ramblings

Some pretty sad news :( I won't be able to do Art Fight this year. I did everything in my power to try to make it work, but it seems my physical limitations have caught up with me.
#how do I put this.#just a few months ago I found out I've been chronically ill my entire life without knowing#and I'm still untreated despite my condition worsening#it affects my entire body but primarily my muscles and joints#i thought with enough willpower i could idk. try to push through and do art fight because i've been wanting to do this for years#i worked on icons and refs for artfight for idk. 30 ish days now#and ha ha surprise. my body began to seriously give out on me#so i had to tap out for my own sake#that being said i will try to continue chipping away at references slowly#i do not want to give up on those#i may not do all 10. but my goal is to finish at least 5.#rambling#i hate that this literally has to govern my life and take away my ability to do every hobby i love#there are alot of obstacles that are keeping me from getting treated. but i hope i can get treated before this year ends

I think people need to understand that when someone says the situation in Israel/Palestine is complicated they are not necessarily saying that the discussion of who the oppressor vs oppressed is complicated. The Israeli government has been oppressing the Palestinians for a very long time, that is clear, and it is not complicated to understand that at least since the 80s they have had dramatically more financial and military power to keep control of the territory in the way they like.
However, it is reductive and dismissive to insist that there is no complexity in the potential ways to move forward to bring peace to the region. Despite what people on tumblr.edu like to believe, "Israel should never have been created" is not a practical solution to an incredibly heated geopolitical situation in the present day. Israel was created and it does exist. 10 million people live there. 74% of the population is native born and the country has existed for 75 years. Hand waving these fact away with the opinion that "they should move back to where they came from" may make you feel good about being a Radical Leftist, but it does not give anyone a road map for how exactly millions of people without dual citizenship are supposed to just up and evaporate. Nor does it acknowledge the reality that 21% of Israelis are Arabs, the very people you are claiming to want to give the land back to.
Insisting that there's nothing complicated about expecting an entire country's population to willingly dissappear with no consequences is not a productive way to think about this conflict. It ignores the many massive superpowers that have an interest in proping up different states in the region, the power dynamics involved in any land back movements, and the inevitably negative consequences of totally dissolving an established state without a plan. It is also completely and almost comically unrealistic, so much so that it makes it hard to believe that anyone who's opinion starts and ends with this idea really gives a shit about anyone who lives in the area as much as they care about their online leftist clout.
There's nothing complicated in understanding that the Israeli government is and has been maintaining an oppressive apartheid state for decades. It is, however, very complicated to come up with a realistic way to resolve some of the most intricately entangled land disputes on the planet without plunging the region into total chaos. Not everyone has to be deeply educated on every geopolitical situation, but it is very hard to take people seriously when they know nothing about the politics or history of a region and yet insist that there is nothing complicated about it at all.
There's a lot of people on this website who are getting dangerously smug about their own ignorance, and are starting to go down Qanon type anti-intellectual paths in the name of being sufficiently radical. Not knowing the details of a very convoluted land dispute isn't something to brag about online as you call for intentionally reductive solutions. You can support the Palestinian cause and be aware of the oppression they have faced while also holding off on calling people trying to do real analysis and de-escalation work bootlickers. We need to get control of the urge to fit every global issue into a simplistic YA novel narrative structure that appeals to Western revolutionary fantasies.
