The atmosphere of this episode was phenomenal, it almost felt like a stand-alone episode. A series of murders, investigation, pursuit of the truth, a main character nearly tormented, driving alone through the city. One of the best episodes I’ve ever seen.

If terror is the feeling of dread and apprehension at the possibility of something frightening and horror is the shock and repulsion of seeing the frightening thing, name a time your character has been terrified and a time they were horrified. How did they deal with these emotions? Was the terror, for example, unfounded, or the horror too much?

A time your character was terrified

I make a lot of "Sena's dead boyfriend" jokes, but the moments leading up to that were pretty much exclusively this. He doesn't know where his friend went, anticipates the worst, and then something he's been scared of up to that point actually happens.

For things that happen in-story, he has a few of these, but being left alone in Ultima Thule really freaks him out.

More under the cut! Contains full spoilers for Endwalker.

A time they were horrified

THIS ONE WAS ACTUALLY SUPER HARD TO ANSWER.

I want to say the massacre early in ARR, which got to him pretty bad; he starts to come out of being an "I only care about this one person" type edgelord, he starts getting along more with people, and then those people die and he goes right back to that.

Also slightly unusual one, but the combination of dragoon and having issues with his scales makes the conversation with Vrtra deeply unpleasant for him in a way that isn't quite horror, but comes close.

How did they deal with these emotions? Was the terror, for example, unfounded, or the horror too much?

Sena tends to deal with his negative emotions in general by covering them with anger and then not actually dealing with them, but even moreso when he's scared. Him wanting to be strong is an extension of this; he wants to protect his friends, but also, if he can fight it, he has agency in the situation.

Complete silence stops him in his tracks, though.

people NEED to stop gatekeeping making music like ohhhh i don’t have an instrument ohhhhh i don’t know music theory ohhhhh i’m not gonna pay for some program. SHUT UP. take my hand.

you need NONE of that shit!!!!! there’s a website called beepbox.co. literally all you have to do is press things until it sounds a modicum of nice. it’s easy it’s free and it works on anything which has a browser because it’s a website.

if even ONE person starts making music bc of this post it will be worth it.

making bad music is just as important and okay as it is to write badly or draw badly or sing badly. you AREN’T BEHOLDEN TO MAKE GOOD MUSIC. making music is not utilitarian HAVE FUN. HAVE FUN!!!!!!!!!

HEY THIS IS IMPORTANT whats your favorite place to find drawing references?

found these on twitter that might be helpful to all rpers who want to make sure their themes and carrds are accessible to all

whenever someone is like "[X] is so good but you can't just recommend it casually bc it has every trigger warning under the sun" that in itself is a recommendation. all the truly good shit needs a minimum of 5 disclaimers or it can't possibly reach the level of visceral catharsis necessary to be classified as a masterpiece. the funnier variant of this is when you come across a callout post for a piece of media that ends up reading like a recommendation instead

Reblog if your an FFXIV blog!

Break in case of emergency?

Being back here after all this time feels pretty weird! Tumblr was my only socmed for a really long time, but I left ages ago for Twitter. I’m NOT leaving Twitter and I’m not sure how active I’ll be here, but I’ve set up this account to keep in touch with those who are or might be. I’ll be checking here, I do plan to do a little posting, but things are uncertain on the whole right now.

Please ignore the state of this place, I cannot remember how any of these settings work. I’ll try to set up a real theme when / if I start really posting! 

tell me how Sena would react if a friend came to him needing a shoulder to cry on, sobbing!

Depends on how much he likes them! He isn't that good at offering words of support (he tends to be pretty coarse and has his own issues), but can offer a literal shoulder to cry on. He would 100% let someone he cared about cling to him, and offer awkward hugs and headpats.

He would also offer violence against whoever made them feel that way, which is ... not the healthiest outlet, but he would (I can't find the post, but it's along the lines of "kill him" "no!" "then i will kill him for you").

(bonus: the reason he lets people cling to him is because he also wants physical affection when he's upset, though this is still proportional to how much he likes and whether he feels safe around the other person to start with).
