what's in it for me? (24)

it is just like you

to do whatever you want to do

like you can't lose

and you haven't got a thing to prove

is it worth my time

to discern your half-truths from your lies?

how can i take sides

when you've made a circle from a line?

in the games we play

is there not one rule you will not break

to get your way?

i'm not sure that you will ever change

guess it was just too much to ask for

you wouldn't face the honest truth

you had too much and yet wanted more

credit where credit isn't due

you couldn't see it any clearer

if it had hit you in the face

and as the end is drawing nearer

i'm not sure what difference it makes

how could you forgive yourself so easily?

i could never do the same

if your loyalty's an act of jealousy

i'm not sure how long you'll stay

i can't take another drawn out tragedy

i don't want another drink

quit pretending like you stand for anything

screaming "what's in it for me?"

"is it worth it?" you say

"is it worth it for me?"

In the Midst of Unseen Certainty

In the theatre of the cosmos, I find myself seated at the crossroads of belief and disbelief. On one hand, the theist, passionately defending his faith, on the other, the atheist steadfastly voicing his skepticism. I observe this dialogue as an unbiased spectator, each side offering a symphony of thoughts that forms a rich intellectual melody that resonates within me. The perspectives of both…

Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl found dead in a hidden room.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #lan xichen #jin guangyao #jiang cheng #wei wuxian #qin su #EDIT: Tumblr published an earlier draft with only half the notes I wrote so: late entry on my JGY thoughts.#Unlike the mystic powers of the stockmarket (what the OG meme is referring to) I think this situation calls for more active investigation.#qin su is such a deeply tragic character to me and I really wish we got a bit more from her.#Love everyone who sent me messages about her after the last time she appeared.#I think she needs a spin off of her being a transmigrator SO badly.#MDZS has so many interesting characters - but it sometimes fails to give them the proper room to really develop past a role in the plot.#That's just the consequence of writing a story like MDZS. Not every character in a book *needs* to have a rich inner life and backstory!#To do so would bog down the story and obliterate any notion of pacing. It's just not possible.#Jin Guangyao (nee Meng Yao) is unfortunately not free from this leeway rule. He is the culprit of this murder mystery plot #and thus NEEDS to encapsulate the themes of the book. And personally he's a 7 out of 10 at best on this front (in the AD).#MDZS is about rumours twisting reality and working towards truth. And about how people & situations are rarely ever black & white #JGY has his motivations. He's well written in regards to his actions making sense for his character.#What started as good traits (drive to succeed & improve his image) became twisted over time (do anything to maintain his image)#and it's a good parallel to WWX! He has the same arc (with different traits)! Bonus points for IGY in that regard.#but man....by the time we confront this guy for murder there's not a lot of grey morality. He's just...deep in the hole *he* dug.#There's a beautiful tragedy to it! More on JGY in later comics - this is getting pretty long already!

siffrin starts the game with oddly empty pockets for a rogue who has a habit of stashing away every little trinket that isn't nailed down

and a hardy pocketwatch is an indispensable tool for oceanic navigation

#loop slinking off from the other half of the party to go jump a random rival rogue before The Morality Squad can get on their ass #anyway this is once again me playing with How To Do Comics Literally At All. no real deeper message just a random ficlet basically #ALSO YEAH. MAP MEN LINK. YOU FIND ANOTHER CONSISE EXPLAINER ON THE CHRONOMETER LOL #isat #isat fanart #in stars and time #in stars and time fanart #isat spoilers #sifloop #isat siffrin #isat odile #isat loop #lucabyteart #the compass is there mostly to make the pocket watch navigation thing more obvious + because i like the staging of loop presenting 2 items #big dipper/polaris is the most basic choice to get across NAVIGATORY USE OF CONSTELLATIONS but . beggars cant be choosers #also the return of the Vague Postcanon Loop Outfit. love to just put them in a vague toga or whatever.#implication wrt odile's questioning is they still havent come clean about anything. but she's got suspicions.#theyre playing Truth Confession Chicken. psychological warfare #+ bonus artist's insight: loop odile up top there is me channelling the pop team epic GOGOGO DANGER ZONE comic #[odile voice] careful. danger zone. [loop voice] but i love danger zone.......

I deal with proselytizing by saying “I’m already a Christian, thank you.” and then fixing them with my steely dead-eyed gaze. Yes, the faggot already has found God. Move along.

#it’s a half-truth. I’m agnostic but also Episcopalian so. who knows.

ok. thought. Could the fact that Claudia lied in her own private diary about not dreaming be an indicator that Claudia might have lied about other things in her diary? Is she maybe so scarred after Lestat and Louis read everything in her diary that she no longer writes her deepest thoughts, but only half truths in case they might read it again? Which puts into question the truth of every single scene we have from only her point of view, as she might have twisted what actually happened

#what I’m saying is that the scenes we have with ONLY Claudia and Lestat might only be half truths #iwtv #interview with the vampire #amc iwtv #amc interview with the vampire #claudia de pointe du lac #iwtv spoilers #my post #iwtv claudia #100*

out of all of the (many, many, many) miscommunications on dsmp, this one still makes me lose it the most. these two were never on the same page even once and this was the culmination of all of it. 2 entirely different conversations going on

#sorry for being abnormal about cbedrockbros. no im not itll happen again #THIS. THIS MOMENT. SCREAMS AND EXPLODES. THE FACT THAT AS A VIEWER WHOS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND BOTH OF THEIR MOTIVATIONS YOU *KNOW* WHAT EACH O #THEM MEANT IN THAT MOMENT. BUT THEY NEVER REALLY SAT DOWN AND *TALKED*. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN HALF-TRUTHS OR TOO SCARED TO SAY.#AND I KNOW THEY CARED ABOUT EACH OTHER OTHERWISE THIS WOULDNT HAVE HURT THEM. BUT THEY NEVER FUCKING TALKED AND BOTH OF THEM WALKED AWAY #BOTH BETRAYOR AND BETRAYED #AND THEYRE BOTH RIGHT! AND THEYRE BOTH WRONG!!!! FUCKING BEDROCK BROS #AUGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #my post #my art #mcyt #dsmp #dream smp #fanart #tommyinnit #technoblade #ctechno #ctommy #bedrock bros #cbedrock bros

One thing I really want to see explored more when it comes to Nightmare’s character is the fact that he doesn’t lie.

Nightmare “never lies, only hides the truth.”

Nightmare being manipulative, twisting people’s words and disguising meanings is much more interesting than him simply lying to someone’s face and giggling about it later…

The amount of intentionality and intellect that goes into twisting the truth is, in my opinion, infinitely more intimidating.

#utmv #undertale #nightmare sans #dreamtale #ut au #sans aus #dreamtale nightmare sans #corrupted nightmare sans #he’s so interesting you guys #he’s such a little shit #let him be a shitty gremlin #but also he has standards💅#lying is for losers #HALF truths though #are infinitely more petty #and nightmare is a diva drama queen #headcanons #or technically just a canon #whatever

We don't envision season 5 right when we talk because what is that actually gonna be like? This isn't a romcom. Mike finds out about the painting but Will is like throwing up blood and slugs in the corner.

edit: to clarify I wasn't saying "no time for romance" I was saying "it's horror show with raises stakes and angst. Mike will have to figure out how to bring up this truth bomb he discovered when more important things are clearly going on and there aren't the most conversational opportunities". I mean MORE juice, not less.

#stranger things #byler predictions #byler #stranger things speculations #like genuinely he will find out and be STALLED #because there are more important matters #like how do you be mad at your friend who's actively dying #(and also you're in love with)#we know there's a lot of complicated feelings about the painting but imagine getting hit with all those WITHIN the circumstance of whatever #horror shit #i think they will tie the two together like how season 2 created space for the emotions of the shed scene by intertwining them but #it IS more complicated to find out a big truth bomb about someone who is PREOCCUPIED to say the least #mike is like “ a year and a half ago you lied to me ”#and will is like “and 30 seconds ago i was crawling around on the ceiling catch up wheeler”#like you can't just interrupt with that personal life stuff #the writers can fit it i know that

This election day, I'm thinking of my Nana.

I'm thinking of how as a young woman, she fled political violence in her native Colombia to build a new home in a more stable country. I'm thinking about how she lived a long life, but not long enough to see her home country elect its first ever progressive president (just a few months ago!).

Coincidentally, I was living in Colombia at that time (in the very city she grew up in), and I was able to witness what felt like a miracle. A very conservative country, suffering from the violent inheritance of colonization and catholic invasion and the war on drugs, against a backdrop of the dangerous global rise of the far right--this unlikely country managed to elect one of the most progressive heads of state in the world, in 2022. That's a pretty big deal.

And I'm thinking about this, this election day, because that election was won by a very thin margin. I'm thinking about how it almost didn't happen. I'm thinking about how it was only possible thanks to the highest voter turnout in 20 year. And I am thinking about the countless number of voters who chose to vote for the first time. I am thinking of the poorest and most disenfranchised citizens who showed up at the polls. I am thinking of the indigenous women who rode 12 hours on public buses to vote at the 'nearest' polling stations. I am thinking of all the money and corruption that went into preventing minority citizens from voting, and I'm thinking about how they showed up in the millions and voted anyway.

I am thinking that I would like to see a miracle like that in my own home country.

So if you're on the fence about waiting in line today to cast your vote, I hope that you will think--about the country you want to live in, the future you hope will unfold, and about all of the people it takes to make a miracle.

Because history may deem us nameless and faceless, but when we show up en masse, we are the ones who make history happen.

And yes, maybe also spare a thought for my Nana. Who was in fact a very angry and judgemental woman who supported the republican party for 50+ years, and who would be turning in her grave right now (if the family hadn't had her cremated). Think about the mean angry ghost of my Colombian grandmother, who very much wants you to not show up at the polls to support abortion and other sinful progressive values. Think about her. Do it for her. Do it for Nana.

#Do it! for her #not a shitpost #serious post #politics #ask to tag #I love you Nana but i disagree SO vehemently with almost all of your personal political and religious values #also you should have treated my mom SO MUCH BETTER when she was a kid. all of your kids really #i see you very much as a victim of religious trauma & childhood poverty #followed by the cultural isolation of being a first generation immigrant with no local hispanic community to provide support #plus the failure of late 20th century mental health care almost certainly compounded by medical sexism #recognize sympathize and am indignant on your behalf for all of those reasons and more #but that truth can also coexist alongside the truth that #hot DAMN Nana you and Papa very much failed to provide your children with an emotionally safe and stable environment in which to grow #and me and my sibs are still dealing with the generational trauma #and who knows how many of my cousins. I HAVE TWENTY-ONE COUSINS AND I DON'T TALK TO ANY OF THEM #that is too many cousins to not be in contact with any of them #(and fyi that's on *one* side of the family. on the other side are a dozen half-aunts-and-cousins I've never met #because Other Grandpa was a Certified Piece of Shit)#Anyway. ANYWAY...#apparently i really needed to overshare today. know what? no judgement. judgement free zone #i have no judgement thoughts or opinions i am finally FREE #........gosh that sounds so relaxing #ANYway #yeah. break the cycle of abuse or your descendants will grow up and critique your parenting choices on third-tier social media platforms #when people say 'they will always be remembered' at a funeral--that is a THREAT #what they actually mean is 'OH HONEYBUN YOU DONE FUCKED UP'#.........i want that in my eulogy actually

One of the few parts of Wickham's alleged backstory that I find purely comedic is his whole deal about how right before his father died, Darcy's father promised to provide for young Wickham, because he was just so grateful to Wickham's father as well as loving young Wickham so much.

—but in the letter, Darcy (without having heard Wickham's account in this case, beyond what Elizabeth threw at him in the rejection) mentions in passing that Wickham's father outlived his. His father did voluntarily recommend giving Wickham the living in his will, so Wickham isn't lying about that, but the whole dramatic deathbed promise thing is pure theatrics and Wickham's father didn't actually die until after the late Mr Darcy was already dead.

His own father did not long survive mine; and within half a year from these events Mr Wickham wrote to inform me that, having finally resolved against taking orders, he hoped I should not think it unreasonable for him to expect some more immediate pecuniary advantage...

#i love the tiny details in this book afdk;adj;kf #most of what wickham says are carefully selected half-truths with plausible deniability etc #but then he goes and lies about an actually verifiable fact for ~the drama #anghraine babbles #george wickham #austen blogging #fitzwilliam darcy #pride and prejudice #jane austen
