related to my previous post: this is my POV on the eternal "it is/n't that deep" debate always going on with everything, as someone who now just goes "cool okay whatever" and leaves when something disappoints me instead of wasting time raging about what went wrong or waiting around for it to get better. i think it's good to have all those crazy what-if thought experiments, but i also think you need to make sure you're not setting yourself up for heartache! be nice to yourself and be nice to other people (as the moral so often is...)

heart emojiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

i’m sure someone could explain it better than me but mob psycho and undertale are so similar in so many ways. not just as a funny sans vs reigen joke but they have so much in common. they’re both deconstructions of their genres. they focus on peace and not hurting others. they both redeem most if not all of their villains. several adults have their lives changed by a single child’s kindness. autism. but they don’t just follow similar story beats they really feel like similar stories to me. just the way that they’re told, how they use humor to make the emotional parts hit harder, idk i just really like them both a lot

Wow, okay, SURE. Let's say you DID just watch me get hit by a car going 75 mph down this parkway road, fly through the air, hit the ground with a thud, and after a few seconds you watched me get up, brush off my pants, and continue to wander into the woods, unharmed. What are you even gonna do? Fucking arrest me?

Is this Mob. I haven't really read the manga but I'm pretty sure this is Mob, right. Like that's a thing that. Happened? I think?

kusuo saiki my aromantic awakening

Reading headcanons is sometimes so fun but other times it's like "no he doesn't. no she didn't. what are you talking about. you just made that up"

i feel. like on a fundamental level. i do not understand x reader fic. i am not exactly opposed to it because let a thousand blossoms bloom etc. but like. i genuinely don’t get it. it seems like the exact opposite of how i engage with fiction. like the whole point is that i’m not in there. i don’t wanna be in there. if i’m in there it’s going to be very stressful.

controversial opinion maybe but if you're tired of mainstream media doing constant reboots, not centering the voices of marginalized people, and making their fiction based on a list of best performing hashtags... you should support indie artists

there are thousands upon thousands of books, games, audio dramas, graphic novels, and yes even movies/TV shows out there made by independent creators that make little to no money off of it. yes you will need to look for it, maybe even search for half an hour or more, and take risks on things that no one has ever heard of. but trust me, you're much more likely to find something that speaks to you this way rather than waiting for the huge corporations to start caring about good storytelling

a guy shoots at me with a sniper rifle and I catch the bullet in my teeth and eat it, but he saw that coming and put poison in the bullet, but I saw that coming and drank an antidote ahead of time, but all those weird chemicals still give me a really bad kidney stone a few days later and I pass out from pain and crash my car into, by pure coincidence, the sniper

in retrospect this kinda reads like a Jojo fight

DON'T ASK YOURSELF "AM I A GOOD PERSON?" ASK YOURSELF "IS WHAT I AM DOING GOOD?" OR EVEN! "WHAT'S A GOOD THING I CAN DO RIGHT NOW?"

DON'T WORRY ABOUT JUDGING AND SORTING YOURSELF! JUST MAKE YOUR BEST CHOICES!!

he's like that trope where the main girl in an anime is like kyaaa im late to school on the first day but he's a 39 year old man with a 9-5 job and he does it literally every day

Art motivation 💪

If anyone wants to know how there’s now over 30 ghost comics this is why

it never fails to surprise me how some people will simply take every single thing in a story at face value and assume that what the characters are saying or doing or thinking must always be true even when all of the context clues are screaming the opposite

i kind of don’t relate to the way other people Hate fictional characters in fandom spaces most of the time because to me a character is first and foremost a vehicle for Making A Story so if the character does Story. then it’s good. i don’t know how to explain what i mean by this. the only time i feel like i dislike a character is when i feel like their presence is not interesting and isn’t doing anything for my experience of Story. you know.

WARNING do NOT start reading books and comics or watching movies or looking at art!!! you will start wanting to create art yourself. or god forbid. writing.

[thinking about the character] Is anyone going to write them having a mental breakdown, or...?
