This is so fucking funny

not all kinks are sublimated anxieties, but the readiness with which we turn our sublimated anxieties into sexual fantasies is one of the most endearing things about our species to me. like our brains are like, “hmm. don’t like this. i should jerk off about it.”

let men be friends who just jerk each other off occasionally and maybe exchange blowies and they're lowkey mortified of the whole ordeal but they can't stop. they won't stop

one of the many reasons to insist upon chronological timelines is that it's much, much harder to scroll forever if you can catch up with yourself. if you can run out of tumblr because you reach yesterday, that is a good and helpful prompt to do something else.

horny art is awesome and i think every pervert with an odd and obscure fetish who draws their own porn is a hero

the power of a bowl of rice mixed with some fucking bullshit cannot be overstated

wait hold up why does the steven universe theme have the same chord progression as creep

I've never read Homestuck but there's a type of media that I call "a Homestuck" and I think it's a useful categorization. The main criteria are:

• long enough that the time investment is a serious barrier to entry
• irrevocably changes your personality
• brings something genuinely unique to the table. there is no real substitute for reading/playing/watching it in its entirety

Fate/Stay Night is a Homestuck. Worm is a Homestuck. When They Cry is a Homestuck.

Undertale has cultural impact similar to a Homestuck at first glance, but the fact that it's a pretty short and accessible game means that you don't get the particular mix of sunk cost fallacy and an intimate experience with a piece of media that results in you needing to connect with others who have already put in the time investment. You can buy your friends Undertale and expect them to play it if they're not too busy; telling a friend to read Homestuck is giving them a quest that, if accepted, will spark an odyssey. to read someone's Homestuck is an act of love without true equivalent.

enough missingno eldritch horror stories. why not eldritch love.

I have a personal problem with the canon Rak’tika arc. There isn’t a single character that I care about (Vivi nods in agreement). The worldbuilding is also meh. The more I thought about it, the more bland and empty it appeared to me. I had the choice to mostly skip it like I did with the Alisaie and Alphinaud quests (which aren’t bland ofc, but they bear little relevance to Vivi’s story), but there are some buildups that need to be done. I’m building up to wolemet, the risk of the Light corruption has to be heightened and emphasized, which happens in episodes 67-68. As of now the corruption’s still somewhat of a schroedinger’s cat, it may or may not be real, but the big scare HAS happened, Vivi might as well quit the msq and never fight another Lightwarden again. So I’m leaving that fear of the Light corruption to linger in the back of everyone’s minds, Vivi thinks “okay maybe I shouldn’t do this”, and he’s right! Something or someone has to be introduced that’d make him consider to try and keep going. There are a few such factors, one of which is Lucky.

Have you seen her design wips? I’ll just link them here while we’re at it.

Her existence serves a few narrative purposes. I can’t speak for everyone with certainty, but now there’s a higher chance that the return of the night to Rak'tika will make you experience Emotions. At the very least now my personal version of Rak’tika has more color and character (in every sense).

I want you to remember that Vivi almost ends up trading Lucky for his own freedom when he gets incredibly close to siding with Emet. Lucky exists to make Vivi look worse lmao. We all know that there’s the entire Source full of lovely characters, there are also the Scions and people of the First, Vivi probably has friends and family as well, but our knowledge of his personal connections is surface level at best. I could spend like 5 years showing those, I could “tell don’t show”, or I could develop a completely new connection on-screen, here’s something that happens right now, not in the past, here’s a tangible thing for him to give up. I like saying that he’s fickle like a fae, now you can see why.

Lucky humanizes Rak’tika for Vivi, of course his attachment can’t go from 0 to 100, but now he cares enough to make an earnest attempt to keep going. He’s a doubter, and, since there’s no further proof of his corruption, he doubts the existence of that corruption too. Which is stupid, but that’s what heroes are. That Vivi made it this far in the msq is a testament to his positive qualities. I think it’s more fun if he struggles a little and tries to resist the wolemet plot, there’s some push and pull, not just linear “no more eating lightwardens, hello ascian, let’s fuck I guess”.

While Vivi meanders in the forest (the diegetic slow-down of the plot as he slows down and considers abandoning his quest on the First!), the wolgraha, wolemet, and even exselch plots are lowkey advancing, there are “flash-sideways” episodes that show what Emet and Exarch are up to meanwhile.

Okay that was one hell of a preface, but hopefully now you understand why I took the risk of a fully canon-divergent direction with Rak’tika.

There’s a metric ton of symbolism in this panel in episode 76, our first image of Lucky. She gently touches the water, and I associate Vivi with water. There’s a distorted reflection on the water surface. It’s not explained why she dips her fingers in the river, but if you were busy with a task or if you didn’t feel safe and calm, you probably wouldn’t do this, so she must be feeling peaceful.

Emet does something mildly mysterious and illogical in episode 75. 
Vivi: *think think think think think think think think think think think think think think think think think think think think think think think THE THINKERRRRRRRR*

Yes Vivi yes repeat Emet’s “aaaaaannoying” meme, this surely won’t strengthen his influence over you and SURELY you aren’t following the breadcrumbs that he casually left for you-

I feel like the wols who are outright dumb, and/or who have the unflappable dedication to being good that comes at the cost of having less of an open mind, would fare better than Vivi here. Vivi’s no scholar, but he has the people skills and emotional intelligence. He likes to hear every side of the story before picking the course of action. Emet might not know that about him, but the Soulmate Magnet (and my desire to make wolemet happen) already grants him a small residence in Vivi’s mind. The same trick worked on Exarch btw. Like a glue trap, primitive, yet efficient. Just act mysterious enough, and both Exarch and Vivi will start being weird about you.

Meanwhile Lucky meets the will-o-the-wisp (???) and decides to follow it. Just like that. Has she no fear? Where’s her self-preservation? Is it the death wish, or the love for adventure that sets her on this path? Maybe she’s entirely confident and in her element here.

I used to do cross country in high school, and there was this guy on the team that was wonderful. Great guy. But his advice to everyone that asked how to get good was to run 20k a day.

If you don't run, I'll just tell you, most people's bodies cannot take that kind of abuse. No matter how much you train, you will not be able to run 20k a day. It's like how you can't train to make your cuts heal faster. You recover as fast as you recover. So while a big part of what made this guy so succesful was the dedication and mental toughness needed to actually run 20k a day, an equally big part was that he healed like fucking Wolverine. And that's fine, but it would've been nice if he knew that and stopped telling new guys to commit suicide by jogging.

Different guy on the team ran like, 5-6k a day, which actually isn't all that much. His problem when he gave advice was that he didn't really get that 5-6k a day doesn't generally produce elite results for most people. He was lucky in the sense that he didn't have to work all that hard to get great results, and unlucky in the sense that if he pushed himself much further than that, he fell apart.

I think about those two whenever I get advice from succesful people. The very things that make them outliers also make their advice useless to most people. Worse, they're often outliers on totally separate ends of the same spectrum, so their advice will be contradictory.
