thoughts on nightbane cuz i can’t rlly remember lightlark

spoilers ahead!!!!

okay this book was Interesting. i don’t really know how to feel abt it.

first of all, too much sex. maybe this is bcuz i hate reading smut or even slightly sexual scenes, but there was WAY too much unnecessary sex in this book. there are ways to show grim n isla’s bond(?) with eachother without using sex!!! sex ≠ love guys

+ the entire conflict of nightbane could have been avoided, or at least resolved much easier, had the characters just COMMUNICATED. i’ll elaborate more later.

also, i hate grim. i DESPISE him. fuck u grimshaw.

i feel like this book REALLY tries to get u to like grim, or at least not despise him. bcuz he’s Broken Boy!!!! he’s Misunderstood!!!! he’s Not Really A Villain, he’s Morally Grey!!!! and sure, some of these may be true. but in my humble opinion, grim is an irredeemable prick.

maybe i’m being too harsh. im gonna break down my thinking.

first of all, grim/isla and the general love triangle(?) between grim, isla, and oro sucked. i’m sorry, it was so bad. oro is OBVIOUSLY the better option. like, come on. he’s a MUCH better person. easily way better than grim.

another thing i DESPISED abt this book was the characters and relationships.

first of all, THE FUCKING AGE GAPS. ik, ik, WILD, 100s of years of age gaps r extremely common in fantasy books, and they always make me feel weird. but these ones seemed especially creepy, especially grim/isla

to put it simply, i HATE grim/isla. worst pairing in the entire series. its so unhealthy that reading them HURTS.

first of all, the imbalance of power is WILD bro. grim is SO MUCH MORE EXPERIENCED than isla at everything. bros been alive for 100s of years. ISLA IS LIKE 20. grim has seen wars, fought countless battles, seen countless deaths. isla, however, is 20ish and SHELTERED AF. girlie has barely even seen her own realm. before grim, i don’t think she’s fought anyone before, and certainly hasn’t killed. isla is young, she was naive. i have more thoughts but i think u get the idea.

oro/isla is WAY better once you get past the also horrendous age gap/power imbalance. bcuz oro cares SO MUCH. almost too much. you can tell how isla is everything to him. and sure, grim was the same way. but he doesn’t go about it the same way. oro is gentle, kind, and patient in a way grim was not. not only that, but he was morally a much better person than grim. wtf.

now, cleo’s character. cleo’s character had SO MUCH POTENTIAL. deadass i was ROOTING FOR HER at some points. but then she goes and joins the bad side(?) and she’s forgotten abt. she could have done/bee sm more, and she was, for a bit. but then it felt like the author just forgot abt her, and she was cast off. I LOVE CLEO.

finally, the main conflict. i wanted to slap the characters half the time. 99% of the conflict could have been solved through communication. this is bad on its own, but for a fantasy book this is HORRIBLE. honestly, i was confused af. i couldn’t even keep track of why the war was happening half the time. so, grim wanted to open the portal to the other world? i bet if he’d sat down with the rest of the rulers and talked he could’ve easily convinced them. and the whole “no isla im doing this for u bcuz i love u sm!” was POINTLESS. just SIT DOWN AND TALK IT OUT. these characters r killing me :(

i have so many more thoughts but i think this is way more than enough for one post.

ik these are all negative but the book wasn’t THAT bad. i actually enjoyed reading it for the most part. it just wasn’t anything even remotely phenomenal.

byebyeeee

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

the abolitionism leaving my body when I think about trump dying in federal prison

#now i dont agree with the death penalty #and im not rooting for this #HOWEVER there is a teeny tiny chance he could legitimately face the death penalty for felony murder #and it would be. kinda funny. probably especially to the families of the people whos execution he rushed through at the end of his term #anyway found the image thanks guys #for the record i know trump going to prison is entirely different from like a normal ass person but i still dont think prisons should exist #unfortunately they do tho and it would be great to see him face 1 consequence

I did him (I have to redesign his face).

#hazbin hotel critical #hazbin hotel critical adam #he had so much character and angst potential for being the first man created and seeing all his descendants crawl to sin hopelessly #And being the one in charged to executing them #I wish that was explored while still mainting that harsh and jerk side of his personality #However instead of being crude he more witty and subtle #You know what i mean #Ugh #Love you the Adam in my headcanon #also gave him some wrinkles and mature features since well he is literally a dad who had his son murder his other son #made me think why did the show never ever mention his children?!???#WHERES CAIN WHAT ARE CAINS FEELINGS ABOUT ALL THIS???#hazbin hotel redesign #hazbin hotel adam

I made a silly poem to make me feel better about executive dysfunction

A little bit done is a little bit more than before,

And if you do a little bit again then there's a little bit more,

Do this over and over, again and again,

But the list is so long, and you panic, and then-

You see, sometimes we see so much stuff there to do,

And when we're choosing a start, we haven't a clue,

So then we stop still, overwhelmed and defeated,

Day after day until we're fed up of this repeated.

But instead of seeing forest, what if we concentrate on one tree?

See the trunk, branches, leaves and the roots for what they be,

Just one single tree standing tall, strong and still,

What if you start at the base, just one chop, chop, until-

A little bit done is a little bit more than before,

And if you do a little bit again then there's a little bit more,

Do this over and over, again and again,

And eventually you'll have all your tasks done in the end!

#executive dysfunction #poetry #im not a poet #i am a writer #but poetry is not my forte #however its a bit of silly fun #and made me feel better #käärijä #ao3 writer #ao3 fanfic #autism #autistic things #autistic burnout

seems I need to clarify but, yes, I know what Riordan intended to say or do within scene x, y, or z and I know what Riordan intended to achieve with certain plot points, my interpretations are born from how badly he executed it all. hope that helps!

#im not missing the point I promise you dont have to keep coming into my inbox to try and clarify Riordan's intention #I know what he was trying to do #it was just bad lmao #I understand that RR intends New Rome to be a /safe haven/#I can also read into his accidental subtext to know its NOT #I understand that RR was trying to write a bonding moment between Jason and percy in boo #and that Jason was sympathizing with percy in the momet #however the scene was executed so terribly it reads like Jason was just agreeing with percy's worst thoughts lmao

Scrooge: Goldie, I am not having anymore silly arguments with you!

Goldie: water is not wet.

Scrooge: how?! In the actual fuck-

#first of all #just to set the record straight #Scrooge would NEVER say that first line #he LOOOVES their petty little squabbles #he gets off on their stupid argument #and the thrill he feels from their silly shouting matches is unmatched #second thing #Goldie is a petty bitch #who knows every possible way too piss off scrooge #and the perfect way to execute it #((that goes both ways fyi goldies just better at it))#it is in her biology to infuriate people #especially the ones she likes #third #she’s not wrong #water is not wet #what it touches is #now back to scroldie #I need more petty arguments #where Scrooge is stroppy he’s losing #and Goldie is just like fuck you I’m not done with you yet #and also you not getting out of this #Scrooge mcduck is no coward #nor does he lose #nor is he a quitter #however.#when fight with Goldie O’Gilt he becomes a secret fourth thing #bec their is no defeating that woman once she starts #goldie o'gilt #scrooge mcduck

hi chat sorry for disappearing i'll start posting shitty doodles for now (mainly komahina ngl)

#spoilers in the tags #ye hath been warned!#or however modern english was spoken #i didnt bother checking the rules much #anyway i took a long ass break from v3 #cause like gonta's execution DESTROYED me #but i am back and i should be called the ultimate clairvoyant cause i predicted v3 so well #besides my initial train of thought that angie mightve been the mastermind #but it soon got corrected to tsumugi when angie died and someone pointed out how much of a 'plain jane' tsumugi was #then the whole chapter 5 ..?? thing happened with maki and someone mentioned they instigated maki to get the 5th(?) trial running #it was tsumugi with the flashback light #i had to be right (I WAS RIGHT)#danganronpa 2 #sdr2 #danganronpa: goodbye despair #nagito komaeda #hajime hinata

Which do you prefer, Super Sentai or Kamen Rider?

that can...really depend on what the current series are. :') but I think overall I'm more into Rider! Sentai tends to be more consistent quality-wise, but Rider has much more variety in terms of narrative structure and what it tries to do, if that makes sense. not necessarily in terms of theme, but in, like, story beats and pacing and character arcs and things like that. it doesn't always hit (and when it's bad, it's...pretty bad) (stares straight off into middle distance) but usually it's at least making an earnest attempt at doing something interesting. and when it does hit, it hits.

they are both very close to my heart though! :> plus Sentai's been doing some serious shakeups to the formula with Donbros and Kingohger, which I'm very very into. lately it seems like they've been messing around with some of the foundational stuff of both franchises in an interesting way, and I'm excited to see where they go with them!

#children's shows are serious business #there have been several riders where i wasn't a fan of the execution but i did get what it was trying to do and i appreciate that at least #it is a bit ironic because i discovered sentai first and initially had zero interest in rider #(someone who had seen a shin movie and thought all kamen rider was Like That had warned me that it was very much not my thing)#however fate intervened #through a series of contrived circumstances i watched a midseries episode of den-o completely out of context and was like. i must know more #den-o is a particularly insane one to watch a midseries episode of with zero context and frankly i'm glad it happened that way

The way grrm combined so many themes of queenship, motherhood, tragedy, reputation, controversy and ambition from so many historical queens in creating Rhaenyra is honestly iconic 💅

#i'll make a more detailed post on this eventually HOWEVER #I don't agree with the idea that Rhaenyra is an Empress Matilda rip off #the idea of her being declared heir and her right usurped it's obviously taken from there #but she has many traits from other different queens #her execution for example - matilda was not executed #that's obviously an anne boleyn mary queen of scots katherine howard jane grey etc. factor #her motherhood and one of her sons being considered dead until he miraculously reappears #it has elements borrowed from the rumours surrounding the princes in the tower and the pretenders that claimed to be them #her secret marriage for love #her first husband being murdered which cleared the path for her second marriage #the rumours of bastardy surrounding her children #her ambition and politicking #and so many other things #are a combination of various things that george clearly took from multiple queens from history #rhaenyra targaryen #asoiaf #hotd

the idea was that it was going to be luffy/nika in panel laying on a bed of coral? colorful plants? idk and blowing through a little bubble wand. but the twist is that he’s actually giving life to a sentient star as a present to a lone star person :] he’s just doing it in a goofy way

this is the last palette wip I have, so applause 4 unlocking this b4 I head out 👏👏

#one piece #monkey d luffy #sun god nika #i have NO idea where this idea came from I just found it cute #however. it was temporarily benched bc I had no idea how to execute it #but I still like the sketch. might finish it #og asks #I am eepy so have fun

what do you mean by “adhd paralysis isn’t real?” like in what way? this is a genuine question and i’m trying not to let my hurt feelings affect this bc i’m trying to learn and i don’t know everything.

if you don’t feel like answering that’s cool too, but can you direct me to who was talking about this?

Hi! Paralysis is a permanent state. When used in terms of bodily functions, it means "loss of [muscle] contraction due to interruption of one or more motor pathways from the brain to the muscle fibers." Paralysis/plegia (e.g., hemiplegia) is used to refer to complete or severe loss of muscle strength, while paresis is used to refer to partial or slight loss of muscle strength. (source)

ADHD does not include loss of muscle strength (paralysis), and if you're attributing paralysis to ADHD it means you really need to see a doctor. What ADHD does include (that many people seem to confuse for paralysis) is executive dysfunction, which can make it difficult to move at times but never causes permanent loss of muscle strength. Another thing that people are confusing for paralysis (which very much isn't) is catatonia, and I've seen people describe catatonic episodes as paralysis. Catatonia is a feature of schizophrenia spectrum disorders (most often schizoaffective, schizophreniform, and schizophrenia) and can occur alongside autism spectrum disorder, but does not occur as part of ADHD.

Claiming that you are experiencing "ADHD paralysis" is offensive to those who actually are paralyzed, especially with what I've been seeing on actual paralyzed people's blogs from people with "ADHD paralysis."

Additionally, if you search "ADHD paralysis" here on Tumblr you'll get a whole bunch of posts about people talking about their executive dysfunction. This is fine, in general, but they're misusing medical terminology and it is harmful.

#disclaimer that I am not paralyzed #however I follow blogs run by paralyzed people #and I have heard their grievances voiced and would like to amplify their voices #also I think it's stupid to have a thousand terms for the same experience #“autistic inertia” “adhd paralysis” it's executive dysfunction jesus fucking christ #using 800 different names for the same phenomenon only serves to confuse people #asks answered #adhd #adhd paralysis #executive dysfunction
