hello there, angel

[ID: Digital illustration in color of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. Vash is sitting facing the viewer and holds a rose between his clasped together hands, but he’s looking to the left, upwards, at Wolfwood, with an awed expression. Wolfwood hovers over him with wings sprouting from his back. He has a cigarette lit between his lips, his arms and legs are crossed, and he looks back at Vash with a neutral expression. The both of them are covered in a blue shadow, casted by Wolfwood and his hovering form, while warm light hits the back of his wings and over Vash’s legs. Small feathers sits next to Vash. End ID]

#vashwood #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun #trigun maximum #this is not meant to mean anything btw i just wanted to draw wolfwood as an angle #i love angel and follower depiction but i also think wolfwood is just the most angelic human being ever #he was sent to guide him... he protects him... he Saved him #i mean they both just think of each other as the most good they've seen in the world in a really long time #and in turn makes themselves coil and feel a little more disgusted with themselves. but they're also so Good to each other that they can #start to believe that they can be that good too.#they love each other so much and theyve never loved anyone else like this before so i can just imagine the heights their love can reach #endless pouring of affection in a way they can only keep to their own chest in fear they'd never be able to let go otherwise #that is to say i just feel like they'd worship each other and it's probably excessive but i feel like they both really deserve it #i did not even mean to go on that tangent but back on topic -- i just love angel wolfwood depiction in a way that's Normal......#need more of vash saying cheesy shit like youre my light wolfwood!!!! and wolfwood beating the shit out of him like WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!!!#which is why i have a tablet in the first place. my mission in the world...#ruporas art

I've seen the same post a hundred times now. Sometimes it's a few days old, sometimes it's from years ago, but it's always the same. Some anti posts about how they don't understand how anyone can like Snape because he was so awful, and then there's a long reply that goes something like, "imagine this happens to you, and then this, and then this" to describe Snape's experience. Sometimes there's some James Potter hate thrown in.

Look. You can go through describing a character's entire experience but you don't really need to. Here's the thing that antis don't understand:

For all her faults (and they're big, bigoted ones) Rowling understood a really integral part of the human experience and conveyed it through Snape. Everyone needs love and to feel accepted. It's that simple. Snape became a Death Eater to seek acceptance (Rowling has confirmed this, though I can't remember the source - whoever wants to add it please do), because it was the only way he could find any.

Snape's understanding of morality, like everyone's, is subjective. Some readers understand this and some don't. When faced against a morality that says there is good and bad in the world, everyone makes choices based on their personal experience. Context is everything. Someone who experiences pain and suffering will not see the person inflicting it on them as moral. That's it. 'How can this person be good when they caused me so much suffering?' = human psychology. Most of the people who think 'I'm a bad person and deserve this' have been gaslit and abused into thinking so, because it's not a natural reaction - it's one that has to often be socialized into someone at a young age, exactly because it's not natural. Everyone is the hero of their own story; no one sees themselves as a villain, because they see the valid aspects of their own perspective.

You can write essays on how vulnerable people needing acceptance is what cults and fascists exploit to recruit vulnerable people, or on how the standard anti's un-nuanced reading of Snape both ignores canon and displays a disturbing lack of empathy or compassion, but at its core it just boils down to context. From Snape's perspective he experienced cruelty, therefore the people inflicting it must be cruel. Again, it's that simple. He was a person, like any other, except he was fictional so he wasn't even real. On the flip side is James Potter, who, for all his faults, didn't get to live long enough to get a chance to change and grow unlike Snape, and I think the Snapedom also needs to acknowledge that.

They're fictional characters representing things an author wants to say, not sports teams, not martyrs, and not all good or all bad emblems that define your identity depending on how you feel about them. It's depressing how much time is wasted arguing with bullies and trolls whether from the Marauders fandom or just random antis. I literally can't find more than three blogs to follow without this argument coming across my feed daily. I know the Snapedom is Not OK™ and that's kind why we're all here, and I know that my take is super unpopular but like Snape, I don't care what others think: this fandom has been having the exact same argument for years and nothing has changed. There's fanart and meta and fic and so much content out there appreciating this character, you're not going to change an anti's mind who's deliberately trolling in the tags, so why are you trying? What are you getting out of it? What does it give you? It's exhausting just scrolling past it.

#The thing about morality is that it's subjective #the religious leader who's a beacon of moral purity to their congregation #is a source of selfishness and pain to someone they abuse in secret #is that abuse victim immoral for rejecting the values the religious leader represents?#the congregation might think so because their definition of morality relies on the religious leader being a moral guide #the victim might not think so though because how can something be righteous if it causes suffering #look this is just an example of how perspectives can vary and I know there are more possible takes on that example #my point is that the idea that there's no clear 'good' and 'evil' there's only power/what you do with it is actually how psychology works #'good' to one person can be pain to another #'scourgify' is an innocuous household spell that cleans stains until it's used to waterboard someone #context matters more than labels like 'light' and 'dark' magic

Hello and hi! I made a post about a month ago discussing the idea of making a mod for Pizza Tower which gives Peppino a crop top and I'm happy to say that that mod is a quarter finished! I've edited a bit over 800 sprites so far and as my schedule has recently freed up progress will be speeding up by a TON. I'm feeling optimistic and energized, so expect a finished mod in a little over a month perhaps. Here's a little look at what's been finished so far.

I probably won't be making a lot of progress update posts after this point, but if you want to know how much of the mod is complete then I'll be updating my blog theme's HP bar to show how much is done.

Thanks for reading :], I hope once this is finished you'll get to enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed working on it hehe

#Pizza Tower #Collie calls #This is my first time modding a game and I'm honestly having quite a bit of fun :]#First time doing sprite edits too #First time actively interacting with a fandom for a game I really enjoy too..... Lot of firsts!#Man. There's no good guides for modding Pizza Tower that I could find though. A lot of them didn't really help me figure out what to do and #I sorta ended up teaching myself as I went. I think when I'm done making this mod I'll create a little guide to help others get into it #I feel a sense of comradery every time I see updates for those cool character mods because wow. I'm just doing a sprite edit and this stuff #is taking MONTHS! The wiki sometimes isn't perfect and I'll spend a bit editing a sprite and importing it only to realize it's not in the #game! I'm saluting every person attempting this and hoping their cool animations see the light of day.

currently thinking about lighthouse keeper hdb and ship captain kim kitsuragi................

like.. look. hes in the lighthouse. alone. only company his skills and some alcohol to also keep himself warm in the winter. most interactions he has are the people that he gets stuff for his own survival. dora's been out of the picture for a looooooong time now, he wasnt around often, the pay isnt relayable, and every time she met him he was worse, so she left. all he has is himself, and the lighthouse.

there are times in which the light will reflect on the fog in the ocean, and he will see her in there, as if she was a guardian angel with long blonde hair who would take any ship coming nearby into her hands as toy boats, and she could decide if theyd make it to safety, or if shed just drown it on a whim. all he can do is manifest her with the lights, but her actions are her own.

and then theres kim, the diligent captain of a ship that has all the love in his heart, something he can use to move through fog and pale alike without losing himself to his surroundings, always ready to make sure him and as many as his men survive what the sea has to offer them, but he knows its dangerous, all of them do, everyone is ready to lose their lives if it comes to it. storms and tides and an inavility to see through the weather, they are all ready to manouver the ship or die trying.

thankfully at the worst times, theres always a helping hand, a guiding light helping him move in the right direction, making sure hes able to keep them as safe as possible even through the worst storms and the densest of fogs hes ever seen.

#my posts #and for organization so i can find this in my blog one way or the other:#disco elysium #hdb #kim kitsuragi #harrykim #the.. harrykim is mostly implied. i. dont know how id make them meet #also... hi i love including his fucked up relationship with dora in everything i can like i find it so interesting so its always there #ah and this au while it could work the other way around... look at me. harry being the one guiding and saving kim. is just..#very important to me....#maybe once they meet depending on how it could be a mutual thing but #yeah idk #i think that if i knew how to make the specific details for my ideas i wouldnt just post them like this id be writing fics lmao #tho idk the only fic i wrote was like.... this year its gonna be ten years since i havent tried to write sdiugdhsgu #ah whatever im calling this guiding lights. idk. hopefully ill remember and find it if i want to lmao #guiding lights au #but... yeah.......#also silly detail this is bc a few days ago i was drawing kim as a captain and harry as a sailor but. more like a costume with a skirt #bc well. i have that and i think hed look good on it. i havent finished it yet but ill get back on it at some point #and well its been on my mind but also i saw something about a lighthouse and automatically i thought #'.... oh no. harry du bois as a lighthouse keeper.....' and i wrote this just now and im not gonna check if it makes sense lmao #im just going with the vibes i may think about it later again and properly get an idea but like.. yeah i wrote this in 30 min #the details are for another time if they have to happen dughsgdsgh anyways!!!!!!!

Trying to find an old essay/paper/poem I really enjoyed in high school (I kept it stashed in the front pocket of my old Veneer binder as inspo until my mom tossed it) so I just typed "what is water?" into my Firefox search bar and was really confused for like 10 seconds on why I was only getting science websites

#[head in hands]#The other day at work too I asked my coworker 'is H2O the official term for water?' in terms of the guide we were editing and I could see #The light die in his eyes before he realized what I was actually asking #(was our third coworker using the term the H2O peak correct bc we have only ever called it the water peak)#Very frantically had to be like 'I mean. I know that H2O is water but you KNOW what I mean right?' bc I don't want him thinking I'm THAT bad #I'm bad but I'm not THAT bad I promise #<- this will probably be the only personal post not about H2O that will appear in my H2O tag lol #Cruddy rambles

barkbarkbark Riichi Book I's writing is like screeching chalkboard to my game designer's, translator's, and writer's ears all at once

it's got great concepts buried in there but it's in like the most anti-comprehension packaging conceivable

#what the hell is wrong with you #folks like you are the BANE of game designers everywhere #and game PLAYERS for that matter #THIS is the best strategy reference the English speaking world's got?#baddabingbaddaboom ladies and gentlemen #im about to make bank writing the West's first riichi primer that actually meets the standards of the modern analogue game industry #(which to be honest is abysmal right now the industry's in an insane 'text free' fad right now where every word is replaced with a symbol)#alright then im gonna set the new standard then #imma bout to do for Riichi Mahjong what i did for Ryuutama Traversées 🫸🤛#and for all the dudes at unpub who know how to design incredible games but dont know how to write instructions #alright sorry I'll calm down #but seriously i am gonna start throwing together an actually quality-controlled guide #cause every english resource ive found so far has been like this... inconsistent and full of holes and omissions in explanations #chiba talks about the game's strategic immaturity in the west... well it's got an even bigger gap of educational immaturity #anyways.... I'll toss a bit of effort that way #we'll see how far i take it #I'll either make a few loose articles or a fully fledged book. no in between #god i dont have the energy to make another book when i dont even know if Traversées is ever gonna see the light of day #100% complete full color layout and everything. publishing limbo is real and it's every bit as stupid and unnecessary as you think.#(my case is much simpler than most though cause im only working with two small publishers rather than a big corp)#but still. damn #anyways im so tempted to throw some of my rulebook magic at riichi while it's got my interest #not like i need to write a strategy tome the game just needs a professional quality introduction #don't make me do it i absolutely will do it #i did it for ryuutama when no one wanted to give a decent publication-quality localization for the supplements #and by garriot i will do it for riichi mahjong too if no one gives me a quality guide. i aint afraid of a global high strategy game #<- manic #(im not manic im just extremely restless having not been able to do any solid design work in a while and this book is getting me riled up)#cause it's like “i could write such a more coherent rulebook and HAVE written a more coherent rulebook. so why don't i do it again?”#the Disease is why. but maybe I'll give it a shot anyways if i get a second wind (i guess im otakaze right now harharharhar)

Respect to all forms of play or whatever but people who play video games just to do the most damage they can is weird to me. Just obsessed with the little hovering numbers that tell you killed that guy extra good.

#my sisters boyfriend said he didn’t like bg3 because he played it and was disappointed that he only did 1 damage #he didn’t even get off the ship #my man get Shadowheart to hand guiding light #that usually gets like 15 #also doing 1 damage Vs 20 is the same if the hp is also low you dumbass #sorry I hate him

"I see danger in your eyes"

Look, I've been keeping somewhat quiet about the recent updates. There are a lot of things I wanted to say but also...don't??? Because all of these interviews are happening without context of the existing product. Aka I haven't seen ss4 for myself yet so I can't really be feeling anything about it. Making predictions and being upset isn't gonna do anyone any good either! So I'm offering you guys the same advice. I will reserve my opinions till ss4 comes out <3

#my art #tdp #but tbh #if they give aaravos a love interest #or make him an actual father to some children out there #I am actually quitting the show #they both deserve better #aaravos #callum #I also saw some people say that it's gonna be rayla who will be callum's guiding light and help him resist aaravos control #and to that I say bruh #callum can be strong and amazing by himself without any influence from a love interest #he's kind #he's strong #he's gentle and it is in his nature to be a good person #so why don't you give him more credits and let him be his own person?#actually I'm talking to the writers too #if you want a compelling and subjectively good character #don't let them be influence or tie down by the idea of romantic love and that only romantic love is the strongest #NO!#callum can absolutely sway aaravos to his side all by himself #because that is who he is #and I will fight for this version of him till the end #I like rambling in tags it feels really good #the dragon prince #the fear in aaravos' eyes lol #doodle #thanks for coming to my ted talk

OC regrets / thoughts / dark moments below cut ~

Vizerxa is an Omen Of Death.

The Grim Reaper herself. A living shadow, and the bringer of disaster. She brought the downfall of her kingdom, caused her best friend's death, and if it wasn't for her, Lucidi (her older sister) wouldn't have erased herself from everyone's memories and vanished. Vizerxa hates herself because of it.

The Gods themselves abandoned her.

All her life, she'd looked up to the Ancients, worshipping them like every Pantheon. Her Kingdom follows Nocte, Ancient Deity of Darkness, and she gave all of her faith to the Pantheon. In return, they caused Fractal (mother)'s neglect and hatred of her, and openly & directly abandoned her because of something that didn't even happen yet, and wouldn't have happened if they didn't desert her.

She could have stopped it all.

Clara, her best friend, died a painful death because she was the only thing keeping Vizerxa from joining Light Song. Clara was her guardian angel, her guiding light, and she died for Vizerxa without even knowing it. Vizerxa could have stopped the Genesis Experiments, and saved the child she knew was suffering, but she had to keep her alliance to Light Song to gain power. She could have just avoided Light Song entirely, and she wouldn't be dead. Amist Memoriam wouldn't have fallen. Lucidi and Videns would be happy. She knows that her want for power ruined everything, and now that she has it... she can never unsee the blood on her hands.

Star Seer knows when everyone he loves will die.

Every day, at all times, he has to watch the sand slowly drip through the hourglasses, powerless to save or even comfort them. Forever helplessly watching everyone slip away, again and again. every new cycle of the Pantheons, every replacement, they're never the same to him. He sees his old friends in new faces, in the mannerisms of them all, and he hates it with every fiber of his being.

He knows the answers and solutions, but no one Listens.

He's accurately predicted major events, changes, and even Light Song's fall, but no one listens. What's the point of being the God of Prophecy if no one will follow his advice? They could save themselves if they just tried. In his eyes, the blood stains his hands. He warned them, and yet he still failed.

Amatus just wants Light Song back.

He doesn't care that Light Song was a tyrant, he wants her back. He follows Vizerxa out of obligation and hides it perfectly, but he misses her dearly. Vizerxa's vision of peace ruins everything for Amatus. He may be fiercely loyal, but Light Song always was and always will be his idol.

He lost everything in the Final Battle.

In all honesty, Amatus loved Light Song. He wanted to be by her side and take over Salha, plunging the world into chaos and emerging victorious. They would have succeeded, if Vizerxa didn't weaken her and kill her, ending the battle with the Celestial Pantheon. He lost all of his reasons to live when she took over the Fallen, bringing peace. Now, he stays only because there's nowhere else to go, and he's sure the Bringer of Death will end up causing something even worse... she's Vizerxa, after all...

Aella wants her freedom back.

She lost everything when Light Song beat her. Her crew's dead, she lost an eye, and worst of all... She's tied to the land again, far away from the ocean she NEEDS to explore to thrive. She feels lost and broken when she's on land, and hates being high up on the cliff the Bright Palace is on. She wants the sea back. the dangerous water that stretches on forever. her crew that she loved and lead happily. Her voice echoing for miles, drawing in unsuspecting ships...

She misses her 'family'.

Her crew may have only followed her because the only other option was death, but... she held them very highly. They were family to her. She was the Queen of the Seas, and they were her followers. Light Song took everything from her. She may have re-met a blood-related family member, but... it's not the same. She hates every gradual rotation of her Crew, having to replace members as they die from old age considering how long she's been on the sea, but somehow... losing all of them at once is worse.

Videns doesn't, and will never, care.

Videns doesn't understand empathy or sympathy. she doesn't understand good or evil. And honestly? She doesn't give a shit. Her cruelty is learned from the Fallen, and to her it's completely normal. she's never physically harmed anyone, anyway, and her mental torture is easily reversible. Why does everyone care so much about it?

All she cares about is her family being safe.

She wants Lucidi back. She wants her blood related parents back again. She wants to meet her father for real, and get along with her half-siblings. she knows Genesis is her sister from their shared father's side, and she knows her biological mother, but... the Ventuses refuse to acknowledge her as blood family, and her mother wants nothing to do with her. Vizerxa is all she has.

Genesis is in constant agony.

She was the youngest at death, having lost her life at 8 years old due to Light Song perfecting Deathclaw Acid. The Genesis Experiments were a major thing that made many doubt Light Song. The acid still runs through her veins hundreds of years later, eating her away and putting her constantly on the verge of death. She has to syphon power from her surroundings just to stay alive, and keep her regeneration fast enough to undo further damage. it's a living hell at all times.

She wants her family back together.

Her father vanished when she was young, Praelia (mother) died for her and Nox, Clara vanished for hundreds of years, Nox left the Fallen... Genesis lost everything in her life, and she just wants a chance at the happy family she never got. The Family she never gets in any timeline, considering she was supposed to die even sooner than she did.

#Side note; Clara is described as a guiding light but she's a sister figure to Vizerxa #Clara was an adult when Viz was a teen & they were friends for most of Viz's mid-to-late teen years #honestly i love the parallels between family members in this tbh i didn't even realize #Amatus wants LS back & Aella hates LS #Vizerxa hates herself & the pain she's caused and Videns doesn't give a shit about sympathy #ocs #rambles #my stories get dark lol #Genesis & Videns about family are the only family members w/ similar views actually

One of my favorite things to do is look at the random screenshots I take and just. Appreciate the beauty of this game. Each screenshot shows so much emotion. It tells a story, you can infer what was happening at that moment… infer the story, the emotion, the personality of the player…..

#they’re so gorgeous #enbee.txt #cog plays rain world #my favorite is the pipe one. two slugs traveling. only their light to guide one another.#rain world downpour #rain world spoilers
