#stuff like that – @bam-monsterhospital on Tumblr

that fandom post was lovely, and just reminds me of any time i want to engage in the themes and implications and connections in a work yet see nothing but shipping posts in the work’s tags... And it’s every work. Every piece of media, no matter the subject matter, no matter the tone, every single time. Not getting into the wider disaster of having to see this while being a romance-repulsed aromantic (and y’know acknowledging the existence of other aros like and unlike me), it is fucking exhausting.

and i only really made this post, not to confirm the obvious truth in that other post, but because my current hyperfixation is just fucfdjskalfds lOADED with intereconnected themes and allusions and ideations and history and philosophy and socio-political critique, aaaaaaaaa i need to ramble below hang on

The KING IN YELLOW.
The deCAY! the decadent movement, the rot and waste and destruction of british colonialism, the ashes it leaves behind,
the decay of the past, the ransacking of cultural artifacts at the hands of white british fucks, national histories lost to careless hands who should not be touching them in the first place
what is the role of the past?
actions and consequences and the interplay between the two. the interpretation of either in relation to the other,
the dialogue presenting an item and allowing all the various layers of meaning to that item to be real and true and relevant and showing the limits of different characters taking different limited meanings from the item without realizing there IS a difference between their interpretation and others’.
the decision to have each main antagonist in each game use (mis?)(alternate?)interpretations of two (constantly quoted and taken out of context) greek myths, sysiphus and ikaris...
death, time, entropy. look upon my work ye mighty and despair. but also defiance in the midst of oblivion, “I remain”.
verner “wears no mask”.
gold, stars, entitlement, parasitism
TRUTH and all that entails. absolutely everything it entails.

i could go on, and on, and on, but I’ll stop myself now.

I got curious and made this. Which do you see when you read?

bam-monsterhospital

(tags got too long) number one. number one for me. and i can’t emphasize that enough. i am an *extremely* visual person. this isn’t bragging, it’s a “i’m realizing now how few people understand the full meaning of that statement” kinda thing.

like, it might also be an add-brain thing on my end (since i do it when not getting full audio bits in conversation as well), but my brain just auto-fills EVERYTHING, even when something was not described, it’s still in there now. Most times now I make note of it and catch it, but sometimes things still slip by.

#also the text doesn't match up to what the image says #she's only resting on the one hand and the apples are moreso in front of her than her right #also there are oranges and other shit around #plus what's her mood?#you can tell a person is making pictures in their brain when they read by looking at their eyes #do they lift slightly up above whatever line they're reading?#do they look someone zoned out?#stuff like that #Ramblings #tag yourself memes #tag yourself #moi #the audio version of this auto-fill brain has fucked me over so much #so if you hear me answer to something someone else has said audibly and it sounds like it has nothing to do with anything #that's because my brain took a bit of what it THINKS it might have heard #and RAN LIKE A MMOTHERFUCKER with it #just sprinted away into the sunset

Have you ever caught Altitis or Restartitis? How do you personally deal with it?

bam-monsterhospital

always. and you don’t. you just keep making characters and try to limit them to certain archtypes and personalities so that you roleplay them more than the game will force you. It’s made me hold on to characters and transfer them over to other games at times.

#like wren and ethel and bomber-fire-obsessed-orc... agli?? agli #and owly elf old man magic archer dude otis #stuff like that #elderscrolls #altitis #character creation #morrowind #oblivion #skurrurm #eso #oh and speaking of finishing main questlines #i only did that for oblivion's main dagon one #because i was curious and hate the gates and wanted to see how it all went down #with skurm i've only completed dawnguard #on vampire's side and....... maybe on dawnguard's side too.... i don't remember #OH and dragonborne #AND oblivion's shivering isles #because the main quest in that one is too wonderful and interesting to ignore

Okay, i slept, so I’m ready to shuffle this deck again for the first time in........ a looooooooooong time.

a few things to note for tarot readings:

i am by no means a ‘professional’ when it comes to this. i’m just ~~a gal who’s a tarot-reader for fun~~ a complete amateur who picks my singular deck up from time to time. i’m also mega extreme casual about the whole thing; to me it’s not magic or spiritual since i’m not that kind of person; it’s just circumstance and interpretation (which to me, is more interesting and makes it more personal). For me, a reading is just picking some cards and applying the concepts to vague possible situations that could honestly really occur/be adapted to anyone. So if you’re looking for divination or anything concrete, i’m sorry that that’s simply not my forte.

that’s probs the most important bit out of the way; the second thing is the kind of question you’re asking when you want a reading done. A reading has to have a goal in mind, and i guess the simplest way to think of that is by wording a question. That’s how I’ve always done it. You ask a question, and get something that might be an answer. Yes/No questions are kind of terrible for this sort of thing, and the more open-ended and vague the question is, the better.

okay i think that’s it for disclaimers. I’m using the rider-waite deck, and it’s missing the knight of pentacles, sooooooooooo. yeah.

but if you want a just for fun reading hit me uuuuup.

#to people who are more involved in tarot things i probably seem extremely flippant about the whole deal #which i guess i kind of am?#but it works for me and my stuff #i would def not push it on anyone else #and the great thing about tarot is that it's all about interpretation #that's how i see it anyway #TAROT STUFF #tarot stuffs #some questions i used to ask for myself when practicing reading/fooling around #were just random silly stuff #like how's the weather going to be like tomorrow #what is this semester going to be like #what will the weekend have in store #stuff like that #i once did one for a dead pet bird #it was very on-the-nose ouo and i'm still really happy about that one #i'll take pics of what cards come out if anyone asks #yeyeye

So we know Prompto has stomach problems from the “Take your medicine” video, but I noticed in my game he does this to his back a lot. Hope he doesn’t have back problems too.

#ono #ffxv #vidz #no boyo no #it could be anything honestly #i mean hell I do the back one #like if menstrual cramps are spreading and to the lower back because sure whynot #or if the muscles are being weird #kait says she does it from bewb weight #also when you have like pockets of gas around the bod #stuff like that #could be anything

Oh god thank fucking christ.

I usually don’t reblog these, but I feel like some of my followers could probably use the reassurance. I definitely have these kinds of thoughts sometimes.

so i’m not crazy for randomly thinking such thoughts? what a relief!

Edgar Allan Poe had a name for it too: The Imp of the Perverse. he compared the impulses to a demon that urges people to do the wrong thing simply because it can be done

The compulsion to jump from high places is called “l’appel du vide" in French. The call of the void. I think it’s specific to that one instance, but I think it’s a cool phrase for this phenomenon in general.

I think about this with random sharp objects laying around, too. “What if I just jammed this into my eye or throat right now? … oh god WHAT.” Just… fucking christ, brain. Don’t.

Reblogging this again because most people don’t/never know how normal these thoughts are, and that can be a major source of stress. It’s okay. You’re okay. Just, you know, don’t follow through on that shit.

#i get mostly what if visions #what if i didn't pay attention to those steps oh look i can see myself flying down the stairs #and cracking open my head #what if i put my hand in the blender and turned it on #well i don't have to wonder i can totally see it #what if i stuck this butter knife into the toaster while it's still plugged in #stuff like that #and then my brain is all okay nope nop nope noooooooope #not doing that #and then for a few seconds i have to concentrate on not doing the thing i was never ever going to do anyways #brains are odd
