Maybe im just too used to it atp, but it's funny to me how easy it is for me to draw seb and fernando with long flowing beautiful curly hair/wigs for my au, but when I even just try to imagine other people in it, like Mark and Jense, I can't even imagine them wearing the same type of thing at all 😭😭
#ig theres smth about like fernando and seb being more feminine in their role of ruler#and others like mark and jense being more masc in their roles of service hmmmmmm#but like mark = automatically short hair. absolutely no wig. cant even imagine him w slightly longer hair#jense more close to his honda hair length but cant imagine him w super long hair either#and the others which i havent really touched on(ex. kimi nico lewis mick etc)#i dont know if many of them i could draw w long hair either. maybe nico ???#i guess its mainly bcs it kinda goes along w whos had longer hair irl#but its not like seb or fernando have had super long hair akin to what i draw#but somehow to me it suits them very well 🤧🤧 very majestic very kingly#i cant imagine living back then and theyre like yeah wigs the fashion and you look absolutely shit in a wig#do you just live w that??? do you just cope??????#one day i will draw a comic of mark trying on a wig and them relentlessly bullying him#it just doesnt suit him at all!!! like i cant imagine it at all#well anyways this is all to say that i want to draw portraits of mark and jense#maybe ill play around a bit with jense#the only thing is just: he needs to wear a tricorn/bicorn hat LMFAO#hes just that type of guy to me#also i wonder what colors ill do#mark is the same clothing colors of seb 🤭🤭 cause he belongs to him YKNOW#and then jense idk. i think i drew him before w reddish orange cause mclaren which is okay????#idk theres just a lot to me abt color coding and like who belongs w who and who is opposed to who#<- which is why seb and fernando are always blue/red for me#catie.rambling.txt

i think light yagami is "socially adept" in terms of being able to reason out relatively well what to say and do to come off as a harmless and good and polite young man who is likeable to be around. however i do not think "socially adept" (or "neurotypical") typically comes with having to preface every other normal-passing action and statement with a minor crisis of "ah shit. quick, what would i say/do in response to this if i was light yagami, a normal and nice and respectable young man?"
everyone likes to talk about him talking about kira in third person but can we acknowledge that he also talks about LIGHT in third person. i'm not adding manga panels at 3:57am but y'all know exactly which ones i mean
#light is decent at masking but he is NOT coming off as perfect to anyone who looks at him with a critical eye. like L or near#it's just that a lot of people take him at face value#he's handsome he gets top grades his dad is the police chief his family adores him girls like him etc#and he gets to skate off of that a lot until someone comes around and questions the mask#he unravels so fast once he gets closer to L. he fucks up the misa thing so badly even HE has to admit to L's face#that kira probably didn't think things through with the second kira and kind of panicked#ughhhhhhhhhhh i have so many thoughts about him. he works very hard to come off as socially competent. it's a learned skill not innate#i firmly believe there is some shit going on w light in terms of mental conditions. HOWEVER#i also believe he was relatively 'normal' up until the death note sent a lot of that shit spiralling#lots of mentally ill people live pretty normal lives it turns out! a lot of us can get by and sort of manage!#even if it means masking and coping as needed#i don't think you have to be mentally ill to react to the death note the way light did#i do think it oiled some clockwork that was already ticking though#anyway. light is socially competent to some degree because he tries to be. sometimes it backfires. sometimes he misses. normal stuff#trying to say he is objectively socially adept or inept is futile though#but ig what is death note without black and white thinking and what is the dn fandom without diving into the nuances under the surface layer

I understand being upset that the character you saw yourself most in died, that he didn't get to sail off with everyone else. We've been force-fed tragedy and buried gays for years, happiness finally finally dangled in front of them just to lose it all before they could taste it.
But that's not what happened here. Izzy didn't just get to glance at what that life could be, he lived it. He got to experience family, and acceptance. He got to make choices to step forward, to be himself to be HAPPY. The way people are implying that because he died, it was all pointless?! That his healing and growth and huge steps forward all became null and void because he died??? Life and growth and love and choosing family choosing to fight for and protect them even knowing what it might cost is EVERYTHING! It's the WHOLE POINT!!!
This was not a condemnation of Izzy it was a celebration of him. This was a reminder that even though we're all going to die, no matter how much pain you've been through, you can still choose to heal and move forward and live for yourself and the ones you love.
Nevermind the entire rest of the crew?! Nevermind the gay marriage, the chill polyamory, the in depth dive into suicide (via Ed) and how none of us is unlovable. Nevermind that he died surrounded by family and love, something he never thought possible. You CANNOT just discard it all and harass the creators & take this as a message of despair when it is a blazing neon sign to KEEP LIVING KEEP FIGHTING KEEP SINGING!!!!! To do so is to get lost in the pain and the internalized voices that say we Will be miserable forever, when so so many people are working to make this art begging you to be able to feel and move forward and heal from that place.

Ok so Buddy works in space McDonalds right? Does that mean others have a job somewhere as well?
ill admit that in the comic i used space mcdonalds mostly for comedic effect........ i mean they propably worked at a space fast food restaurant at some point, but it definetely wasnt their only job!
okay so after eeneks unexpected family reunion the clones, eenek and zora all decide to stay on znahors ship for the time being(it gets a little cramped but its bearable), and they just kinda start going from place to place after that?? before picking them all up znahor already was doing essentialy that, anyway- he traveled from planet to planet, occasionally helping the locals and then fucking off elsewhere. so thats what they do! they jump from one star system to the next, never staying anywhere for long, trying to not bring any unwanted attention to themselves, and they get by mostly by doing random odd jobs(some more legal than others..) and stuff.
they all(ecept for taka bc hes like 10) get their fair share of shitty jobs, but they dont really have a choice, do they? the war is over, sure, but obviously such a long conflict leaves an impact on the world. the chaos is on one hand a blessing, bc an odd bunch like three galrans and a gaggle of humans dont bring much attention in a sea of refugees, but it also means that sometimes things get messy, and making ends meet is difficult.
out of the clones, buddy has the most experience and knowledge about how alien worlds function, so they often end up with jobs that require communication and frequent interaction with other people- basically what im trying to say is that they work customer service. a lot. they survive it by remembering how infiuriating diplomacy was and telling themselves that hey! at least them fucking something up wont put the fate of the universe into jeopardy this time!! stickbug often works alongside them, but he hates interacting with customers even more that buddy does and tries to avoid this kind of job as much as he can(my man spent too much time trying to please everyone in his childhood and is OVER IT). i mean all of them get a customer service job from time to time but bud is the one whos least terrible at it
im not sure if the others have any preferred jobs tbh, but the idea of soup trying competetive fighting at some point would be interesting to explore i think........
#ask#my funky guys#thanks for asking<33#also man poor taka. he spent like half of his life without interacting with kids his age........#hes the most socially awkward ten year old in the universe. meets a kid his age for the first time and has no idea how to act:(#and the worst part is that even when he manages to form a connection w someone#his family leaves the area pretty soon after that and in most cases he loses contact with that person after a while#so yeah.. hes not doing great#i really dont talk about this kid enough........ i love him hes my special little guy#(i say as i make his life even more difficult for some reason)#anyway#for buddy working in cusomer service or doing not-so-legal odd jobs is STILL better than their voltron days#whenever they look back at that period of their life they cant help but physically recoil#helping some random guy in the asscrack of the universe smuggle some shit for a bit of cash#is in their mind 10 times better than their time as the black paladin#basically their way of coping with their situation is to just. slowly convince themself that being w voltron was The Worst Thing Ever#i mean yeah it wasnt GREAT#but they willfuly ignore every good thing that also happened back then to make themself feel better lol#bc there are moments where living on a relatively small space ship with like 8 other people is stressful and kinda sucks sometimes#even if you deeply love and care about 6 of them#the transition from living on a deserted planet in complete isolation from ppl outside of your weird little maybe-family#to being constantly tossed around the whole universe#was a jarring and difficult transiton for everyone#(eeneks weird family drama didnt help)#the first few months were hard for everyone#it got better over time tho#life is unpredictable and people are unpredictable and shit is gonna get messy#but despite it all love still presists.

Thinking about fordola time I guess !
#not talking again abojt how much the villains in stormblood slap compared to the lack luster heroes#but she’s just. i love her#she’s a symbol and an obstacle in the expansion at first#by her actions there is a justification for hating her. she is a terrible person no doubt about it#she is a easily reachable and easy to hate. she isn’t distant and detached like Zenos#her crimes are on the ground. the suffering she has given commands to commit is right there in your face#but then you learn more about her and her life unfolds into this complexity that mirrors stormblood so well#she is still very much a Bad Person but she is at the same time a person who is simply trying to survive#that has been her life. she joined w the garleans under an unfair system#but what is an unfair system next to the starvation and lesser life of this system#it’s as such that the villain is garlemald for creating such a system that leaves no options#and in many other ways she arrives at being a mirror for the WoL#both of them given Echo abilities and how it plagues each of them. taking in the suffering and pain of others without choice#is this ability a blessing or a curse? is it worth the pain?#i don’t think it’s talked about enough how the echo is not unlike the WoL living in those moments#the pain frustration and fears taken in as feelings all their own#i wonder if after especially intense echo visions if there’s lasting effects#this wondering and second guessing at what feelings belong To Them and what are just the ones from the#*vision? how do you cope with the pain of this vision when it isn’t your pain to experience?#and then! then after all of this she has her own echo vision of the WoL#and all that they have been through is hers to see and feel and share in#her wondering how they aren’t broken feels very adjacent to Thordan’s own asking the WoL What Are You?#stormblood spoilers#owen plays ffxiv#i think about fordola sm

i'm going fucking crazy. why do i get a little 🤏🏼 just a little bit stressed and suddenly be like "i'm going 100 on the highway at 10:30 am. also i'm booking five tattoos for the next two weeks. also i am enraged suddenly." and then even after the feeling of stress ebbs away i still feel like shit and have all those negative impulsive behaviors that serve the purpose of venting steam (steam that is no longer there)!!!!! why why why
#she bork#tbd#me thinking getting a job i don't actively hate would eradicate stress forever and make my mental illness go away 🤡 see this is why i'm like#80-90% positive i have bpd. high function or 'quiet' bpd for sure bc i'm still functional and high-achieving but idk when these lil episodes#hit i literally am just overwhelmed w despair that i will never be able to live fucking normally bc whatever job i currently have will#always eventually make me miserably stressed and whatever i accomplish will always eventually amount to nothing and whoever i meet no one#will ever really know or love the real me and it's like. where does that come from. it could be cptsd too but the impulsive and reckless#coping mechanisms i have (overspending + tats + recklessly driving + physically venting rage) make me lean towards bpd#and you know what else? so do my tendencies to have black and white thinking ('oh i frustrated you once? you hate me then and i should die')#and to get turned on and off by people (even the same person) very easily and often. like it happens even w people i'm close to like#sometimes suddenly i'll be like 'you're so annoying. i cannot continue to see you as a presence in my life. don't talk to me. don't exist#around me.' and then it goes away as suddenly as it arrived. lmfao all of that is so toxic and i'm LITERALLY AWARE OF IT EVEN AS IT HAPPENS.#so yes the emotional volatility and impulsivity make me think bpd. but also cptsd and bpd are often comorbid so honestly it's probably both!

sigh i think my sister is being infected by the learned helplessness shit of twitter & tiktok
#had a disagreement just now that’s really bugging me#she likes blended up ice and always asks me to make it for her and i always do#but this time i didn’t feel like it so i was like no you can go do it urself#because it is just. putting ice in a blender#and then it took her forever and when i came over she complained about me not telling her how to make it ig? idk#she had too much ice in the thing. which i should have told her but i assumed she knew already#bc she was like man now i have to eat this so i can blend the stuff at the bottom & i was like lol ok#so i go to wait for her in the living room bc we were going to watch community and i sit down at my normal seat on the couch#which is where i ALWAYS sit when she’s not in the room#but when she is in the room she always gets there first and takes that seat which i hate but i’ve never brought it up#i’ve kind of always seen it as a good way to practice coping with minor changes in routine#so she comes in the room and gets all upset bc i took her seat and she wants to sit there#and i’m trying to explain this is also MY seat and i want to sit here tonight bc i finally got here first and i always have to sit elsewhere#and she just won’t budge and starts lamenting about how i didn’t tell her how to make the blended ice and she’s all stressed about it#and i was like okay dude look i want this seat. this is a good opportunity to learn how to deal with changes and stress.#so u can sit wherever else and we can chill and watch community#and she was like that’s not how my mind works and i was like girl it HAS to work that way bc u will not fare well in the real world#bc like i know she CAN cope with these things#so i was trying to be like look u gotta learn to use coping skills in a safe environment w minor changes so u can apply them#bc i wanted that seat & hey learning opportunity#and she was like now you’re patronizing me and i was like girl i am literally not trying to im just explaining#i hate being misconstrued like that when i’m just trying to explain something#idk man. i think i was somewhat in the wrong for pushing. but i ALSO hate changes and wanted that seat for ONCE!!#maybe tonight just wasn’t the night but she does this kind of thing often#so many ‘i cant’s… TRY it’s OKAY you can make mistakes you can always try again you HAVE to push yourself#idkkk man#really bugged me that she was literally leaving the room like nvm were not watching community anymore over this#bc watching things with people is like my primary bonding strat#so here i was all ready to have quality time and now this whole thing is being blown out of proportion ughhh it just irritates me sm#if you have a ‘well actually’ about this i’ve already thought of it i know i knowww im just irritatedly ranting

we've had three snowstorms in the past week so we're essentially snowed in rn and i'm starting to lose my mind abt it a little
#doesnt help that i havent been able to get out in a while to begin with bc ive been busy w school#or that bc of the way schedules have worked out i havent been home alone for over a week now (which helps me relax)#and it def doesnt help that valentines was last week bc that always fucks w my mental health ngl#i know i need to get out of the house Soon but like. idk when ill be able to#levi.txt#theres also the issue of driving. the snow is piled up way above the cars so its really hard to see around turns#which makes my parents nervous so they dont want to let me drive#which means i have to either ask my friends for rides (anxiety inducing) or ask my parents to go w them (doesnt help my anxiety at all)#the whole POINT is being mostly alone when i do these things and being able to do it /on my own time/. my parents dont allow that#if i go out w my mom she wants to go do the thing were 'there for' (there Has to be a purpose for the trip) and IMMEDIATELY leave#if i go w dad hes better for it but hell get tired and make jokes abt not wanting to be there the whole time#im supposed to be getting out once a week to learn to cope w my anxiety and im lucky if i make it once a month anymore#i want to go to the mall i want to go to the thrift store i want to go to the bookstore and the craft store and just fucking Go Out#not even to buy anything just to see smth different idk#just like. SOMETHING other than home -> school -> home again where nothing ever changes#and my parents suggestion to fix this is 'why dont you go for a walk'#theres One trail nearby. weve lived here my entire life. it never fucking changes. im bored out of my fucking mind#what is there even to see? more snow? the exact same trees there are anywhere else? crows and gulls MAYBE?#also im just not a big outside person esp when its cold. sue me
