case study of the self-identified god

#obsessed with the fact that rain world is a game about survival #yet every character we meet has the express goal of trying to optimize killing themselves #every creature in game seems perfectly content fulfilling their role in the ecosystem no matter how many cycles they do the same thing #(rly obvious with gourmand's entire route. guy who lives their life to the fullest without the slightest hint of resentment)#it was really only the ancients who thought they were above it and thought of it as something to escape from #5pebbles is so interesting because the only reason hes “”“godlike”“” is because of his vast knowledge. if he was in any slugcats shoes he #would die instantly which is ironically what hes been trying to do this whole time #this comic was kind of exploring the idea of awareness (divinity) as something that drags down ones enjoyment of life (walking).#if 5p would humble himself down enough to walk around like any other creature #he would a) be much happier in life and b) achieve the ascension he's been gunning for for millennia like all the slugcats did #but he never will.#getting rid of all his work on the problem or even his awareness of it entirely #would just be a trick of convenience that steals away his godhood #and him calling himself godlike is kind of a cope LOL #a cope being faced with a problem he was never meant to solve #a cope being faced with what he did to moon #a cope being faced with the rot inside him #oh well.#anyway fuck 5 pebbles i hate that guy #rain world #rain world fanart #rw five pebbles #rain world five pebbles #rw gourmand #rain world gourmand #five pebbles #rain world void worm #rain world ancients #also JUST KIDDING ilu 5p. you suck but i💛u

This winter will be my moment I just know it. Diligent studying, regulated time on my phone, walks in the freezing cold, perfecting my skincare routine, wearing my hair curly, nourishing my body w the best foods, watching more critically acclaimed films, consuming more books, dainty gold jewelry, drinking lots more water, warm spicy perfumes, dark lip gloss, tights under miniskirts, wool sweaters, going out of my comfort zone a lot more, and just another massive growth spurt like the one I had last year around this time. I adore this time of year so much bc it always heralds a metamorphosis. I am so ready <3 <3 <3

#🤍🌨🧤❄️☃️#<- immaculate vibes #last year’s growth spurt was about emotional regulation / coping w feelings #this year’s will be about focusing on more practical goals like time management / planning / adult responsibilities etc etc #which I think is an appropriate transition now that I’m 21 #I’m ready !!#p

Izutsumi character study

#dungeon meshi #izutsumi #One of my goals for this year was to spend more time doing art studies.#What better way to start than with my favourite danmeshi character (not seen: a whole page of figuring out her features)#I feel like she is by far one of the most poorly understood characters in the series. Partially due to her 'late party member' status.#'She's abrasive and mean' - 'she's a picky eater' - 'she's a catgirl who acts like an asshole cat ' YES and that is the point!#Everyone in dungeon meshi is traumatized and messy about it but izutsumi is just less polite in how she tries to cope.#Izutsumi is a extremely traumatized teenager who has utterly lacked autonomy her entire life.#She is the epitome of a “If I can just have X thing then all my problems will be solved!” character. And the X is 'Freedom'.#Her epilogue was one of the best and wrapped up her character so wonderfully (WARNING: I WILL NOW SPOIL PART OF THE ENDING)#Because she finally gets her freedom! She can go where she wants to and she doesn't need anybody! Yet...it doesn't fix her.#She is so focused on doing only what she wants that she forgets her own needs. Sometimes you have to eat the things you don't want.#And sometimes you have to face the hard truths that you need more than just one thing to make you happy.#Life is not all about only seeking pleasures and avoiding pain. You need to be balanced in order to grow.#Eat your vegetables (including the metaphorical ones: I am eating more art veggies this year by doing art studies!!!)

Moodboard for Jinnah Beatty (they/she), lead singer of ethereal goth band Mayday Malady.

@infamous-if

Playlist

#romancing august I think but we’ll see what oriana is saying when the updated demo comes out hehe #some quick facts:#they usually go by their last name #her goal with her style is to be constantly mistaken for a beautiful ghost #lots of long skirts/dresses + layers. gossamer looking fabric etc. only ever wears black or white #on stage she’s also usually wearing a mourning veil bc of course she is #half of her love of music comes from the spectacle of it. like being able to construct a persona and exist in it for a little while #like playing make believe #they make a lot of their own clothes. if they weren’t doing music they’d definitely be doing something in fashion.#she deeply deeply hates being misunderstood or having her words/actions be twisted so she’s like pulling her hair out rn lmao #the band’s songs are pretty high usually so she always secretly finds it funny when fans try to sing along and are off key or something lol #the only tattoo they have is seven’s initials and she doesn’t really plan on getting any others #they’re hesitant abt being a positioned as the leader bc sometimes she has issues with reeling in her emotions #and responding reasonably in the moment.#anyway she can’t relate to the loser mc allegations she’s the coolest mf on the scene tbh #but I am sorta… scared for them.#on account of the horrors that are yet to come #bc truthfully they don’t know any coping mechanisms that aren’t just ‘ignore it until it goes away’ lmao #one of the things she is currently ignoring to the best of their ability is seven #if: infamous #mb #mc: jinnah beatty (infamous)

What I need today to cope with the S2 ending #6

RN I don't give a s* about how will they resolve the problem of Second Coming. I don't care, really, if they find a big red button in the first five minutes of the show in a somewhere hidden backoffice with giant note: "Push this button to avert any kind of Armageddon" - and they do, I'm fine with it.

Then let's them have some angst, shouting and wall slamming - You left me! You chose Heaven! I wanted to protect you! No, *I* wanted to protect *you*! - then they fuck about it on screen at least 2 episodes long, then the rest of the time I want to see them arguing about why the walls of the cottage have to be painted to yellow (because it's pretty, obviously) and where is the best place for the plants.

Gimme.

#what i need today to cope with the s2 ending #good omens #crowley #aziraphale #ineffable husbands #aziracrow #crowley x aziraphale #aziraphale x crowley #good omens season 2 #good omens 2 #south downs cottage is the goal <3 #south downs cottage

i've had what feels like a year long art block and now i'm trying to get back on track. feel like super rusty but muscle memory is really a thing (apparently). i still can't find it in me to not roll my eyes at the result, although it looks alright and actually better than nothing stuff i did before. but its okay, i've always enjoyed the process more anyway :)

#art block #it has been successfully coped with #i bloody hope so #artist on tumblr #illustration #digital art #digital drawing #elizabeth swann #keira knightley #i mean she was my reference and im trying a bunch of new techniques so #realism is never a goal #pirates of the caribbean

800th Post: A Reflection on Increments*

Some jobs offer increments. This one offered--well, quite the reverse, but at least it was in the warm and fairly easy to get the hang of. After a while he got into the rhythm of it, and started playing the private little quantity-surveying game that everyone plays in these circumstances. Let's see, he thought, I've done nearly a quarter, let's call it a third, so when I've done that corner by the hayrack it'll be more than half, call it five-eighths, which means three more wheelbarrow loads. ...It doesn't prove anything very much except that the awesome splendor of the universe is much easier to deal with if you think of it as a series of small chunks.

Terry Pratchett, Mort

*Here, Mort Sto Helit demonstrates the same incremental psychology in his stable work which all tumblr users have refined. When I first started this blog I thought I'd see if I could share 1,000 Pratchett quotes. Let's see, another two hundred posts will be a thousand posts. That's two hundred days, call it six months, which is only half of a year....

#mort sto helit #binky #mort #discworld #terry pratchett #work #manual labor #cleaning #inner monologue #mental math #incremental #coping mechanisms #goals #the awesome splendor of the universe #a series of small chunks #footnotes for followers #tumblr milestone

Here's a snippet from that child fic...

He latched onto Wind. Something about him--it wasn’t even that he was the Hero of Winds--was just… more familiar than anyone else. It was like... like they were brothers in their cores, like he had taken every step of his life with him, like their hearts and minds aligned, like they shared stories and lives. It was like they'd always known each other. It was hard to explain, how his spirit sang in familiarity to Wind's, but it was something he couldn’t help but latch onto.

Take it as you will

I don't talk much about Hiram and the Commissioner but since I played motr I picture them as old friends who fell out of touch after a while. They still have a common goal, and even though he's helping her with the railway as she helped him find a home back in the day, their personalities are just too different now. But they both went through a lot.

Maybe they should meet more often again and have a nice talk.

#i'm thinking about hiram's story through the commissioner's pov and it's both funny and tragic #you help this guy who lost everything during the fall but he decides to go on a corruption arc #you have no idea if the problem was the fall or if he's always been like this. whatever his problem was he decides to get WorseTM #and you can't do anything about it #flashforward to 1899 he now owns the city and you still have no idea about his goals #but you’re pretty sure he's postponing a reckoning too #he's a walking red flag but he's always kind to you and he helped with your nightmares so maybe you're still friends?#you're both just two senior citizens trying to cope with The Horrors. he might have embraced them with too much enthusiasm #hiram hargrave
