Every time I think about the Tree of Feelings I can't help but be a little underwhelmed at how the most popular depictions of it is just. the tree. on a hill. surrounded by miles of nothing but grass and maybe a few houses in the distance.

Yeah, no thanks. I'll just go with my own interpretation on this one

i have this coworker who is always sooo condescending/passive aggressive to me + other people who are not as smart(tm) as she is, but i also always doubt myself so no matter how demoralizing the way she talks to me is i’m just always gonna be like “thanks for the feedback! i really appreciate it :D” and question whether i’m just making it up and nobody else thinks she’s condescending at all ghslkdfj

#like i always think about asking my favorite coworker if she thinks the other dev we work with is condescending #but like #i don't wanna cause Drama #so i don't #but also we're going to a new project soon and we're gonna be on the same team (me and my fav) so like #i could ask after we leave #but i'm also terrified she'l be like 'omg no she's the coolest!! how could you think she's condescending??'#but i really do think she is #i think lol #i just never believe myself #even tho i feel totally demoralized after every interaction w her and dont' feel that way after interacting with any of my other teammates #idk what would y'all do #everyone else on my team is So nice that even if they thought she was condescending they probably wouldn't show it ghsldkfj #so i'm afraid to ask bc what if they just genuinely don't think she is #and like #a lot of the examples are such small comments and based also on like #the inflection of her voice etc #but they're also Constant #and directed at all of us who don't have computer science degrees lol

Some Alisaie (and blue Alisaie) panels from my comic.

She has a journey of her own in Fragments, I want her to find out why her crush would never work (not even because Vivi's terminally gay) and grow out of it.

Alisaie: *amazing growth arc* Raha: *amazing growth arc* Vivi: *noises of things crashing and burning*

#feo ul also has a lot of screentime but they're static #as they should be imo #at least something constant to rely on in the whirlwind of vivi's life #ffxiv #alisaie leveilleur #alphinaud leveilleur #vivien rell #own: next lvl

I personally like Thunder's prosthetic. Explained it to my friend (who does use a mobility device, a cane and wheelchair, and listens to me rant and infodump about BB) and they agreed, it's important to know that not every person needs what someone wants to give them. It's another example of "bad ableist person does a thing that hurts a disabled person because they are bad and ableist".

Clear Sky got Jagged Peak killed and would have killed Sunlit Frost! He would absolutely force his disabled son to be "normal" and present it like a privilege. "I wouldn't do this for anyone else, it's special, why don't you want to be helped?"

Thunder Storm should toss it in Clear Sky's face. (I would say toss it into the river but we do not pollute waterways in this house)

Thank you for telling me this, and tell your friend I'm thanking them too! If they have anything else to add please forward what they have to say

Since BB!DOTC tackles some of the heaviest topics in the entire series because its canon equivalent is so dark, I think very carefully about what I do here and how I show it. I take feedback on its sensitive aspects very seriously. If I'm understanding the criticism properly, it's that I should avoid stigmatizing prosthetics by making sure Thunder Storm's not the only one with it-- which he's not! And I'll add even more.

I don't want to avoid something only because it's uncomfortable if the topic is important, and my portrayal is respectful. Ableism IS uncomfortable! There are some situations where a prosthetic is not wanted! I think the rejection of this particular one is both a good opportunity to show a type of ableism and ALSO is very fitting for the characters.

In BB!Clear Sky's mind, the villain, he's fixing an old mistake. He can't admit that he got Jagged Peak killed or take REAL accountability for it (though he will, occasionally, apologize insincerely), but deep in his bones, he knows what he did was cruel. He'll never tell anyone this because he doesn't really cognate it himself, but Thunder Storm NEEDS to take his gift.

If Thunder doesn't take it, it blows a hole in his newest story. You see, throwing Jagged Peak out was All That Could Have Been Done back then. It was a Tragedy and he simply Made A Hard Choice. He regrets it very much, But You Have To Understand.

But now? Now? Well, behold. Look at what he's accomplished since the tragic death of his little brother. His cats are well-fed, cared for, and stable enough to make such incredible advancements. If only Jagged Peak had been able to hold on longer, if only he could be here now, I could fix him.

Just like I can (MAKE YOU JUST LIKE ME) fix you.

"Everything I've ever done is for Jagged Peak. For Fluttering Wing. For you." Thunder Sky is SPECIAL, but if he rejects any gift, tries to turn down the "privileges" offered to him, in an instant that becomes ungratefulness and arrogance. He both forces him to be special, and then leverages it against him if it's rejected. "Spoiled brat, doesn't appreciate what I've worked so hard to give him."

It all goes back to him and his own guilt. He can NEVER be wrong. He can't accept his family doesn't have to be "normal" or reflect his own ability. He won't see himself as a bully, let alone a murderer. It was never about his son's comfort or finding out what Thunder Storm wants or needs, it was about his own ego.

...All that said I'm still taking feedback if there's anything else I should keep in mind, or if anyone has a counter point, especially if you also have experience here.

(In the interest of having a link trail for posterity, here's the critique/call for feedback this is in response to)

#ALSO also I will take suggestions on other characters who should have prosthetics #Sunlit makes sense and it will make a really nice character moment later for him to have one built #There's also an amputee in RiverClan few people talk about called Stonestream #I can give him one and bump him up into a bigger character. In BB he is the sibling of Willowshine #BB!DOTC #better bones au #Also just as a side note... I love writing BB!Skystar. My ire for the character comes from his redemption arc so I feel like I get to--#--write the character I WANTED to see #Same with Bramble in other BB arcs #cw ableism #tw ableism #ableism #They're fascinating in that they always have to see themselves as the victim or the hero #They believe every lie they tell.#If you ever catch them in a contradiction they will still try to find some way to turn it on you and YOUR lack of understanding.#Interestingly both of them are ableist. Sky's is just more obvious because he's LOUDLY bigoted.#But BB!Bramble is *notably* less close to Jay for a very sad and very subtle reason.#Jay just doesn't serve his ego like the others do until much later in his life.#unfortunately most bigotry is like that.#the type you have a hard time calling out because it's a deniable bias. the constant gaslighting of being part of a marginalized group #Maybe I need to address the criticism by adding a character with a prosthetic to THIS arc even earlier #Problem is that like... Thunder's small merc group is already full of disabled characters and their THING is forming in response to ableism #OH maybe I'll put someone in the Forest Cat group which is lead by Slash?#I need to finish that last book and then gather up all the cats for sorting into allegiances

had the unique experience today of being lucky enough to win a plush kirby prize in an ichiban kuji that is Perfect for holding on my lap while I watch things on my laptop, while the something that I was in the midst of watching today was the seemingly most R-rated show netflix has to offer

this on its own is not much of an issue, except for the fact that due to this plush's design and how i had my hands folded over it it looks like kirby is watching along as well, leading to a particularly fascinating contrast in media consumption- here's a visual aid I put together demonstrating this phenomenon:

#it's such a good plush for folding your hands over because it's mostly a big plush rectangle #kirby is just Also There #anyways i clearly thought it was funny enough to share lmao #but Yeah finally saw the fun animated samurai show people were talking about months ago lol #it was pretty entertaining! def leans a bit towards the game of thrones side of things in terms of excessive sex and gore though #also the constant random fast travel the villains seemed capable of was Very funny #like here you have a protagonist on an absolutely breakneck pace trying to reach their goals #and meanwhile the villains get Constant updates on where they're at via apparently teleportation #once it's obvious the story is more interested in having fun then making sense everything starts clicking #doodles

random thought but i was thinking of tara's comments about getting gale to eat and take care of himself and . well. i was just kind of warmed by the idea of gale and astarion having a particular... dehydrated and perhaps slightly unwell sickly look to them that is only exacerbated by their arduous journey, but then six months after that nightmare when they return to withers' party as husbands they look so much healthier!! they're softer and stronger and well-fed!! they actually look alive! and happy! because they are! and isn't that so wonderful!!

#bloodweave #i'm not in any servers and i'm a hermit so u guys gotta witness all my thoughts . Hi #idk. i do love chubby gale but i also REALLY love skinny-fat gale that loses both fat and muscle mass not only because of the orb #but also the unbelievable and constant stress loneliness and depression that it brought him :(#and astarion no longer needing to be The Pinnacle of Beauty Sculpted Like A God he can jus be as he is (which is still super #unfairly beautiful [and goes to my next point ->]) and he actually gets to eat regularly now whenever he wants and is ALSO #no longer as lonely or depressed n it shows. This Is The Bloodweave That Exists In My Brain And Heart #also love the visual of gale having more angular cheeks when they first meet him and then in the epilogue they're rounder!!#and it makes him look younger!! 🥺 sweetie..

Every time I think of Dimitri teaching Dedue the Fodlan language and Dedue teaching Dimitri the Duscur language I feel like sliding dramatically down a closed door

#they're so fucking good to each other #can you imagine the care and patience they had for each other?#im also imagining dedue being acutely aware of how much criticism dimitri got for it and dimitri just? would not care #you just know dimitri knows his dad would approve of dedue #and especially given the hints of how it sounds like dimitri was practically under constant supervision they were probably each other's onl #real company #ugh #imagine if they didn't want anyone to know what they were discussing so they just start whispering to each other in duscurian #my poor heart #fe3h #three houses #fire emblem three houses #fire emblem #dimitri alexandre blaiddyd #dedue molinaro #dimitri #dedue #dimidue

the way some of tg says tb is boring cause they're loving perfect family who don't do anything interesting while greens is just better cause they're bunch of criminals but the moment anyone from tb commits any crime y'all like nope, i draw a line here, you're an awful person, nothing can excuse you and give a list of all terrible things tb did... as if seconds ago you didn't say they're "so perfect" and you prefer interesting flawed characters of team green who actually do something

no offense intended really but this genuinely must be coming from someone who has no experience around cattle. there's a huge difference between putting an animal out of its misery humanely because it will absolutely suffer and die a slow painful death and comparing this to disabled people is just so ucky to me....

#txt #no shade to this person i understand where they're coming from but. it isn't kind at all to make these animals suffer for some moral high #ground. source: lived on a ranch and my family are ranchers #it's not because 'its just an animal' that's a cruel way to see it #also my rancher family is INDIGENOUS we know how to properly take care of animals they are not colonizer settler ranchers. to clarify #this is about the two-headed calf that got popular on here for a while #anyways um. cows can't tell you how much pain they're in a majority of the time. it's great that we want to try our best to help them live #a happy life even if it's short it is genuinely a nice idea but in reality she was going to get sores and infections and she was in constant #agony

The funny thing about Pharma and the Delphi situation is that that's where the concept of the DJD was first introduced (with the first scene with the DJD at work happening literally the issue afterwards, issue #6) and literally the more you learn about the DJD the more it vindicates Pharma in his paranoia and being convinced that he couldn't ask for help like

In the Delphi issues we learn that the DJD hunts down Decepticon turncoats/traitors/etc and that Ambulon, one of the Delphi staff, was a Decepticon traitor. We also learn that their leader is evidently terrifying in addition to being a t-cog addict, but that's it.

Except in the subsequent issue #6 and all issues with the DJD afterwards, we learn a variety of fun facts about the DJD such as

Several of the members either literally transform into torture equipment or have said torture equipment built into their bodies

Their leader, Tarn, the guy with the t-cog addiction that forced Pharma into blackmail, can kill people with just his VOICE

We later learn that the DJD have a fanatical devotion to the Decepticon cause/Megatron such that they literally worship an idol of Megatron

Even later on, we learn that Tarn's kill-you-with-his-voice powers work both over the phone and via recordings of his voice

Tarn is also very talkative during torture sessions and he seems to find pleasure in his stupid, smug-smart guy persona where he likes to describe to victims what's happening to them and why. And there's no reason he wouldn't apply this to Autobots just as much as he does to Decepticon traitors

The DJD have access to signal jamming technologies that make it so that even if their victim can get a help signal out, no one will receive it until weeks after the fact

Their entire system of hunting people down is based on pursuing them no matter what, isolating them from any help, driving them mad with psychological terror, etc

They're capable enough warriors to slaughter an entire ships' worth of people, apparently without sustaining any meaningful casualties

They're drug addicts that are prone to overdosing and/or losing control and slaughtering people while they're under the influence

So like???

If Pharma was only privy to HALF of the things that we as the audience know about the DJD, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that Pharma probably wanted to call for help at some point, but was convinced that doing so would lead to 1. the signal being jammed/blocked so no one would help anyways 2. him and everyone else at Delphi (including the TRAITOR WHO IS ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES) would be horribly tortured to death by fanatical Decepticon torturer freaks.

Like I get that in the text Pharma only says that he did the Red Rust stuff so that he wouldn't be caught/blamed for the t-cog deal and is prideful about how he stopped the DJD from murdering Delphi, but like...... there's no fucking way that Pharma going "oh I didn't want to get in trouble and also I'm better than everyone" was his PRIMARY reason for everything on Delphi. Pharma didn't go from perfectly normal/sane Autobot doctor to raving egotistical maniac because he was always an asshole and he decided to solve the DJD issue in an asshole way. It's bc according to all canon evidence we have of the DJD and the way they react to traitors/Autobots, Pharma had every reason to fear for his life and believe that no aid would come to him.

#not to mention that fucking uhhhh it was BLACKMAIL???#generally when BLACKMAIL happens the whole deal is 'you give me this thing and i don't kill you'#'but also if you go running for help i'll kill you'#or 'you can't call the authorities for help bc you're doing illegal things for me so theyll just arrest you'#squiggposting #pharma apologism #mfs wanna say 'pharma could've just ran or called for help' when the DJD are literally famous #for their ability to hunt people down and murder them horribly #remember when the lost light was getting hunted down by the DJD and they called for help?#remember how it took 3 weeks for anyone to get the SOS and by then everything was already over?#also it's reasonable to think that like pharma was just giving spare tcogs to tarn without having to kill anyone at first #figuring it's just extra supplies to order and it's a small price to pay for delphi not getting horribly murdered #and it was only later that he had to actually start killing people #and by then tarn could've easily hit him with 'you could run and ask for help but then they're going to ask you'#'why you were giving tcogs to a decepticon in the first place. have fun being a traitor for that'#and then there was you know. the paranoia and constant anxiety and trauma from being next door to the DJD

“Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!"

st‌ar w‌ars s/i, nevermore! a mysterious being blessed (or cursed, depending on who you ask) with uncontrollable visions of the future. the weight of the knowledge rendered them nearly mute — unable to speak anything but their namesake. though nevermore can not use the force in any way, force-sensitive individuals can connect with their mind and communicate in fragmented visions. they were a recluse until da‌rth va‌der sought them out, wanting to use their visions to further his own goals.

Episode 7 boat boys moments that killed and ressurected me:

"I'm just gonna interview the part of me that is apparently obsessed with Etho"

"Always talking about me, Etho, so obsessed. (E: I can't help it.)"

"You know what I realized, Joel? (J: What's up?) You must really like camels because they got the looong necks. (J: Oh for goodness sake, You're so obsessed with neck kisses, it's actually a bit disgusting, Etho. Like begging for them, come here *kiss noises*) "

"Every time you say my name, Etho, I appear. It's like magic. "

"It's 'cause you're obsessed... with me. (E: and yet you arrive every time as well)

"That Etho, constantly fliriting with me, so obsessed"

#boat boys #they're trying to kill me with the constant back and forth of who's more obsessed when in reality they're both gunning for first #I love that they're more obsessed with each other than the average boat boy enjoyer who's obsessed with them #ask for more boat boys banter and you shall receive 😌#also again with the neck kisses 😭😭😭#they're writing the fan fics themselves at this point 😭😭😭#smalletho

I wanted to try and find my headcanon of Roach's face because for some reason my brain decided that I couldn't keep writing my fanfic if I didn't know what I wanted him to look like beneath his mask... So obviously the full picture wasn't planned. (Also I went the easy way for the background because I remembered that I wasn't getting paid anyway so why make myself suffer)

I don't know if the design is definitive, but I find him cute. I made him Welsh, because why not. He can bond with Soap over why the fuck do the English exist.

Anyway they're gossiping about someone at the pub like the little shits they are. Also I don't know if it's obvious or not, but Roach has the mask sun-tan line. Ghost does too. Speaking of Ghost, he's on the other side of the table, looking like that :

#cod mw2 #john soap mactavish #gary roach sanderson #simon ghost riley #soaproach #ghostsoaproach #ghostsoap #soapghost #they each have one dogtag from the other two (they lied about having lost the first pair to get another to have enough)#but they only wear the three when they're not on duty for obvious reasons #also i feel like not enough people know that british dogtags are round and not rectangular like the american ones #soap wears a kilt because kilts are hot and with his shirt it looks kinda punk i think #thistles are the flower of scotland btw (and one of my favourite flowers they're so pretty)#the piercings also don't stay on when they're on duty because of the risk of injury #ghost isn't listening to the conversation at all - there's too much noise to focus anyway and his bfs are way too pretty #my headcanon about roach is that he's not completely mute (after all he talks when he appears in the comics)#but he still goes non-verbal when he's overwhelmed or with people he doesn't like (out of spite) so he knows bsl #sorry if the text and the tags are a mess i can't remember the last time i slept #roach's hair is styled because they're on a date - it's usually a mess he has constant bed hair #look at that i remembered how to draw i'd be proud if i wasn't barely there lmaoo #it's my first time drawing burn scars but i think it's recognisable? maybe?#my phone makes it look way more yellow than my computer and i don't know which one is wrong so rip lmao too bad

literally I just want to give MAWS Clark a hug can we give this man a break please he's baby

#the constant dilemma between DCAU Clark and MAWS Clark but really i just want to be friends with them both #anyway i cried like half the new episode it really came for my feelings again #my adventures with superman #and then i went and watched the preview for next week. what the absolute FUCK #i like how they're handling kryptonite in this show but i also Do Not Like That At All #DCAU Clark is like. the fun uncle who seems like he has his shit together a little because he's experienced #but really his internal monologue is just shit shit shit 24/7 #meanwhile MAWS Clark is just. he's baby. that's it. he doesn't know who he is he hasn't truly experienced the worst and the best yet #he like. has to grow into DCAU Clark ???#but his lack of experience gives him unique strengths. like he's more forgiving and trusting. DCAU Clark has spent too much time with Bruce.#anyway that's my thoughts goodnight #i have a headache fr it's been a day #i love MAWS #ratkingrambles #dc
