one minute of silly puppy playing with and teething on his nylabone, to the background restaurant noise of a silent travelvlogger (to get him used to the television and different kinds of ambient sounds).

okay so I’m thinking yknow like vampires. Vampires are undead so if they die then I don’t think they could leave a ghost. But werewolves? Werewolves are just people who got cursed furry style. They still have souls. If a werewolf died I think they could totally play by the usual ghost rules of violent deaths and unfinished business etc. so then I’m wondering, if a werewolf dies and leaves a ghost, is that ghost still a werewolf, or did dying break the curse? Cause like. Imagine. Youre a ghost but you still turn into a wolf every full moon. And your wolf sona is just out there acting an undead fool once a month. So anyway let me set the scene. Old house, next to some woods. The locals say some old loner died out there in mysterious circumstances. A couple moves in, they’re so optimistic. It’s so scenic. What a lovely private piece of land. Only… ah. It’s got a bit of a wolf problem. Oh well it’s the woods they expected some wildlife to come with that. But then,, hmm. The house might be haunted too? Yikes. Now this couple will soon discover that on the bright side, these two big issues are actually only one big issue. Unfortunately that one issue is a werewolf ghost.
#werewolves#ghost#and like I must emphasise that this is a comedy story#the couple are the working class pragmatic sort. not spiritual or superstitious in the least#they try out all the normal methods of dealing with pests and wolves and old creepy houses first#a local animal expert ranger guy gets called in because the couple is like we have a wolf problem please help and the ranger dude is like#welp you live where the wolves live so that’s on you tbh. but this is weird wolf behaviour so I’ll check it out#and then he comes up and he’s like I think the wolves around here on drugs actually#when the couples exausted their reasonable ideas they’re like :/ welp. time to call an exorcist#guess it’s time to call an exorcist#the ranger sticks around even after it turns out to not be real wolves cause he’s professionally interested in the fact it’s a werewolf#the nearest exorcist is like a day away so there’s various cuts to this priest or whatever driving to the middle of rural now where#and he’s keeps getting into mishaps along the road#like his car breaks down#he hits a deer and then holds a mini funeral and service for the deer#mayeb the deer turns into a ghost and follows him on his way to the werewolf ghost#thatd be something right#when he gets there he’s sprinkling the holy water and doing the chants#and it’s not working but they can tell something is up#they try to use a ouija board but it just keeps saying Awoooo#so then the couple and the exorcise call in one of those people who hold seances#and the werewolf is just like my fucking guy you don’t think I’ve been through this before?#i had people trying to exorcise me while I was alive man!#please picture the werewolf man saying that with a heavy New Yorker accent#oh but it’s important to note that this is not taking place in the US#I am picturing this being set in Italy. in like the Alps or something#I think it being set in Italy gives a certain catholic pizzazz to the ghost aspect#the alps have wolves I looked it up to double check#it wouldn’t have mattered to me if there weren’t wolves that would have just added to the comedy#but there are apparently 900 wolves in the Alps

i don’t want this to feel like a dig at anyone specific (but it’s hard when you have my kind of memory/brain, that will be prompted to think/write about such things only when an example has recently come up), but tumblr pet peeve of mine:
when I mention something, or in particular when I mention not knowing the answer to something or pondering something, and somebody chimes in with “well, I took five minutes to google about it (or five minutes to wildly speculate hypothesise about it), and it’s probably this!”
because.. and like if we don’t really know each other i guess you have no way of knowing this, but. I can google. I have a postgraduate degree in looking shit up, as it happens. I can speculate. If it’s on my mind enough to Post about it, then I almost certainly have done all of that already.
And I’m really interested in what you have to say! But only if you’ve put at least as much thought/effort into it as I have. and ideally more, so I can learn things from you!
#doubtless this is not just a tumblr thing#in case it wasn’t clear this doesn’t apply when you are an expert in whatever sense and I am not#or tbh just if you are an expert in any sense (including via lived experience or being a hobbyist or it’s my special interest)#and once again really not trying to have a go at anyone this is just a personal irritation that people can’t magically know about#and wouldn’t be obliged to change their behaviour if they did#and also the time that made me think of this it wasn’t even me asking the question so there’s that

I wanted a slightly suggestive fluff with the twins if that's alright👁️👄👁️
A scenario in which they're finally done with Sylus's tasks for the day and get to spend some time with MC
CRYINGGG anon I low-key did deviate from the brief but I had this idea and I just ended up running with it. I hope you enjoy, regardless! I went into this ambivalent towards Luke and Kieran but something just possessed me honestly. Also dragged Sylus into it because there's no way in hell I wasn't subjecting him to this dynamic!! 😇 (I made MC here separate from canon MC for plot reasons, but if you want a fic with the twins and canon MC, just let me know!)
Onychinus' Finest
Luke and Kieran x Reader
Summary: All in a day's work for Sylus's loyal and committed worker bees crows
Genre: fluff & shenanigans
Warnings/Additional tags: MDNI (not smut but it's a lil spicy and I'd rather play it safe tbh), f!reader, nonMC!reader, platonic Sylus x reader, humour, swearing, suggestion, kisses, the twins are just obsessed with your legs honestly and who could blame them
| Word count: 2.1k | Masterlist | Opt-in to my taglist here!
Disclaimer: Characters belong to Love and Deepspace. All work is my own, so please don't repost or plagiarise!
Your call connects almost instantly.
“What?” Sylus hisses from the other end, and you get the impression he’s disappointed.
“Oof,” you groan, smiling, “what’s the matter, boss? Waiting on a call from a certain Deepspace Hunter?”
There’s silence in your ear, but not far from you, Kieran snickers. Your smile broadens. “You have three seconds,” Sylus seethes, with the precarity of a pot that could boil over at any moment, “to tell me what I want to hear.”
Three seconds is a bit of a push. You’re sat on a desk and Kieran is tapping away at the computer beside you, the light of the screen catching the sharp features of his mask; he looks like something from a horror story. You nudge his knee with your foot. He glances at you.
Wrap it up, you signal with a twirl of your forefinger.
His mask tilts downwards, almost imperceptibly, and you know he’s glaring at you from behind it. He flashes his middle finger back and you chuckle, watching him return to his work. “Files should be on their way shortly,” you explain to Sylus, because you know when to stop pushing your luck. “Ever’s upped the security on these damn computers. The device that guy sold you didn’t do shit.”
It’s also now pieces of a device, shattered against the floor from when Kieran had thrown it down and stepped on it in frustration. You’re not gonna mention that.
Sylus sighs impatiently, but there’s a hint of regret. “I knew there was something off about that deal. Do you think he tipped them off?”
You glance around the room and it’s littered with bodies. Not dead! Just… unconscious. At least, most of them, you think. “Yeah…” you muse. It was a lot more security than there should have been in a high-rise office in the middle of the night. “You might be onto something there, boss.”
Another sigh from Sylus. You watch Luke as he finishes looting— wait, no— checking the last of the security guards for anything helpful. He’s found a phone and he’s staring down at it, head tilted, reminding you of Mephisto. You briefly wonder what came first: the crow masks or the crow-like behaviour. Maybe you’ll ask Sylus one day.
Luke lifts the phone, holding it at arm’s length, and you realise he’s taking a selfie. He pivots until you and Kieran are in the background, and you lean into the frame, making a peace sign with your free hand. The moment is captured. Luke tosses the phone over his shoulder and it hits the floor with a crack.
“Are you all alright?” Sylus checks, and you know his eyes are burning with frustration, even though you can’t see them. He wears a mask too— most of the time— it’s just a little more figurative than yours or the twins’. You’re an expert at reading past them by now.
“Yeah,” you say, “we signed up for this, remember? You’ve got the best of the best, right here.” You glance between Luke and Kieran. “Well, the best of the best and her sidekicks.”
“Hey!” Kieran interjects. “You wanna have a go on this computer?”
“No,” you lilt back sweetly. What’s he gonna do— make you? Sure enough, he goes back to tapping away, his head sagging slightly, and you can tell he’s pouting.
Luke has wandered closer to the pair of you. “How much longer?” he whines, throwing himself into a wheely chair, setting it on a slow collision course with Kieran’s. You stop it with your leg.
“Shut up,” Kieran snaps. “At least I’m doing something.”
“I can do something,” Luke retorts. He captures your ankle, pulling it away from the leg of his chair, and rests a hand on your shin.
“Something isn’t in the mood right now.” You lift your foot from his grasp, inching it up his lower abdomen, and he groans as you plant it against his chest. “So unprofessional,” you tut.
You’d stifled your phone against your chest, but you can hear a deep voice leaking out of it. “Say that again, boss?” you request, bringing it back to your ear.
“How long is this going to take?” Sylus repeats.
“Not long. You know what they say, though…” You meet the eyes of Luke’s mask. Your tone drops: “All good things to those who wait.”
Luke’s chair squeaks, rolling back as you push him away with a soft kick.
“Fine,” Sylus murmurs, “Mephisto is with me. Stay on the line, and send the files through when you can. I’ll check them before you leave. If they knew we were coming, there’s a chance that—”
“Yeah, yeah, I get the picture,” you interrupt. You get Kieran’s attention again, then gesture between the computer and the phone. The beak of his mask dips as he nods.
Luke has used your lapse of focus to draw himself close to you again. He takes your ankle once more and guides it to rest in his lap, one hand tight— holding you in place— and the other deftly undoing the buckles on your boot. After a few clinks, he pulls it from your foot, the leather dragging down over your skin and leaving it cold. He throws the boot at his twin’s leg.
Kieran huffs as it tumbles to the floor. He doesn’t look away from the computer, but you know he wants to. Now that’s professional.
Decidedly committed to another priority, Luke draws shapes on your lower leg, his finger grazing over your shin and ankle. He’s staring down, fixated, and maybe they aren’t shapes— maybe they’re letters. Every stroke of his finger is deliberate. You could ask what he’s writing, but you really don’t care so long as it’s more than a word or two.
If it is, he doesn’t have the patience for it. His fingers walk higher, stopping only as they reach your knee. The fabric of your dress is draped over your leg and he pushes it aside, letting it slink closer to the floor. He looks up at you, head angled like a question.
“Any progress?” Sylus asks.
You’re holding your phone between your ear and your shoulder, both hands splayed on the desk beside you so you can lean slightly back. “Getting there,” you say, lips curving. You’re not looking at the computer.
You could swear you hear Luke laugh, but it’s ever so faint. He rests his whole hand on you, warming your lower leg with broader strokes, and whatever he wrote has been erased. Your breath catches as his touch moves above your knee, and it’s a tiny sound; no-one would notice.
Kieran’s mask turns towards you. “Oh, come on,” he sighs. “No fair.”
It’s an intimate art: seeing behind a mask. You have to notice everything.
“So hurry up,” Luke answers, his voice heavier than the last time he spoke. His chest rises and falls with every breath, just a little slower, a little deeper.
Kieran rolls his eyes—you guess, from the listless way his attention goes back to the screen— and you detect a huff. “Not fair,” he says to himself. He repeats it as he punches keys with his fingers: “Not fair. Not fair.”
Luke shakes his head gently: a fond exasperation rather than anything serious. He rolls his chair closer until he’s framed by your legs, then lifts your ankle to rest on his shoulder. His fingers curl, the pads of them brushing over the top of your foot idly, but it tickles, so you try to pull away. He grasps your ankle again. “Nuh-uh, kitten,” he teases.
It’s one of your favourite in-jokes; you laugh. Sylus can still hear you, and you’re glad he doesn’t know it’s at his expense. “Something funny?” he asks. Maybe he does know.
“Yeah,” you say. He could string you upside-down with his Evol and you’d still never tell him what.
Luke is chuckling to himself, and the sound changes as he lifts his mask just enough to free the lower half of his face. It’s not the first time, but it sobers you instantly. He turns to press his lips to your ankle, leans in— kisses further up. Leans in again— his mouth moves higher.
“Why so wriggly?” he speaks into your knee. “Stop.”
“You stop,” you counter, reaching forward to grab one of the horns peeking out of his hood. You use it to pull him away. Make him look at you. “Your little book on conquest doesn’t work on me.”
His lips widen into a smirk.
“What book?” Sylus’s voice echoes.
You smirk as well. “Ask your pet hunter.”
You’re interrupted by a thud and your head spins. Kieran is standing up, slapping the top of the computer in frustration. “C’mon, work!” he urges. “So freakin’ slow.”
“Ah, ah, ah.” You shoo him away from the computer like you would a too-friendly pigeon from your lunch.
He flaps back in answer, his hand engaging yours in a brief slap-fight before he backs down. He slumps into his chair, defeated. “It’s almost there,” he groans, folding his arms. “Hey, Luke? Wanna swap?”
“No.”
“Do it,” you prompt.
Luke’s head rolls begrudgingly. “Yes ma’am. Jeez.” He plants a warm kiss on your leg again before clambering out from underneath it, pulling his mask back down over his face.
Another moment later and Kieran is in front of you instead. “You ok?” you wonder out loud.
“Bored.” He rests his head sideways on your thigh. His fingers find your bare lower leg and he runs them up, down, up, down, but it’s soft and purposeless. Soon, his head lifts— thin, red eyes staring up at you. The gaze doesn’t waver as he leans back in his chair and starts to unfasten your other boot.
“She’s gonna get cold,” Luke quips from the computer.
“Nah. She’s not.”
Your skin prickles as Kieran pulls away your boot, like a reflection of his brother, but tortuously more slow. He lets the cool air of the room set in. “Huh,” he corrects himself. “Maybe she is.”
You get the sense you’re being punished; both of them are petty. You’re pettier, though. “Sylus?” you speak into the phone.
“Mmm?”
“Did I ever tell you about the time that Kieran— ah!”
In a heartbeat Kieran has lifted his mask— not enough, but enough— and planted a kiss above your knee. His hand is around your leg, pushing it further from the other, and you can’t help but gasp again.
“What are you…” Sylus starts to ask, but then he changes his mind. “No. I don’t want to know.”
“You sure, boss?” you chuckle breathlessly. “It might surprise you.”
“Nothing would surprise me at this point, sweetie. Those files had better be on their way.”
You tear your gaze away from Kieran to glance over at Luke. He’s sat, propped on an elbow, his chin in his palm, and he’s definitely not looking at the computer. He sits up straight under your scrutiny. Turns to the screen. After a few more drums of the keyboard, he gives you a thumbs up.
“Got it,” Sylus chimes in, no doubt perusing the files already. “Nothing seems amiss. Nice work.”
“Thanks, boss,” you grin. “I’ve been working very, very hard.”
The phone is snatched from your hand. “She has, sir!” Kieran speaks into it. He stands, putting it on speaker before setting it down beside you. “I think she deserves the night off.”
There’s a crash as he shoves the computer from the desk, and Luke leans back, swinging his feet up onto the now empty space. He lifts his mask marginally to put two fingers to his lips, whistling in celebration. There’s a slow clap for good measure, too.
Kieran bows to him with a flourish. Then to you; you bow your head back.
“I’m hanging up,” Sylus states plainly.
“Ok,” you chirp, distracted. “I hope she calls you soon, boss!”
“I don’t… I’m not…” your leader stutters. He reconsiders. “Thank you. Don’t think, however, that I’m—”
He doesn’t get to finish the warning, threat, or whatever else it was. Luke’s finger stands proudly on the phone, still connected to the ‘end call’ button. “What?” he dismisses as you and Kieran look at him. “I slipped! If boss asks, you saw me slip.”
“I did see it,” Kieran nods.
“I saw it too,” you add solemnly.
There’s silence for a single moment, and there’s never silence with you three around. It lasts as long as it usually does.
You all burst into laughter.

X-MEN #7 From The Ashes
Possibly the biggest downside to the circular, repetitive nature of X-Men comics is that real life is awful enough. Jettisoning the hope of the Krakoan age for the misery porn of From The Ashes feels kinda callous and depressing in a world where there are multiple ongoing genocides and the USA just said yes to fascism again. Nevertheless, join me in some light escapism - a little Magneto goes a long way. Spoilers for X-Men #7.
I've also been spelling Jed Mackay's name wrong. Sorry
Running throughout this issue is Magneto's flashback to The Iron Night. The 'this is Logan behaviour' exchange from the previews has been all over my dash and it's great to get more of this dynamic. It's fantastic to see someone in universe say it out loud - Logan is a whiny little bitch, often a hypocrite, and can be blind to his immortality privilege. Scott knows that better than anyone - his wife's boyfriend throws a tanty like no other. They love him, but it's another reason why he's not the best Wolverine. I hope 'Logan behaviour' sticks around in the fandom.
This is Logan behaviour, Idie
I appreciate the informal nature of the Piper discussion. For one, you don't want to scare the kid or make her feel unwelcome. Idie said that she 'couldn't wait for you (Cyclops) and Magneto' re: Idie - having Psylocke be the one to spell it out for her is effective. The X-Men IS a team and the stakes are incredibly high. Besides, as Beast said in my first screenshot they have a Cerebro. This test could have been done from afar without the risk, and it's implied that it was.
I'm enjoying seeing Idie behaving compassionately, but it looks like she's got some serious anger and mistrust of authority (both justified) from Krakoa. It's great she's getting this kind of character focus and I hope it's followed up on. So many threads and beats have been setup that are likely to be disrupted by the Raid on Graymalkin event kicking off next week, but I'll reserve my judgement on that for when this first arc is concluded.
This is Logan behaviour, wild sentinel.
Gotta love Max and Scott's friendship being shown as they drink crappy beers and bask in Magneto rhetoric. I don't want to question the expert, but is this sentinel Wild or wild? It's clearly not an ORCHIS Iron Man model, but Wild Sentinel has a very specific meaning.
Okay, clearly Wild. It's not attacking either of them, though. Kind of Cyclops to spell out the Star Trek Borg adaptive schtick they've got going on. This is the action scene of the issue, the mandated violence.
I don't mean that entirely pejoratively either. I'm just as susceptible to the Magneto and Cyclops power fantasy as the next person, though it's a bit of a dirty trick to wait until issue 7 to show it.
This is NOT Logan behaviour, Magneto.
Sigh. I love your sense of drama Magneto. Play to the crowd, old man. I hope your monologue doesn't become ironic. Oh wait, we already know it has. This could have been a clever moment.
Uh oh, looks like his knees are weak and arms are heavy. Vomit on his sweater already...
So we see the moment Mags' powers start to shit the bed, right after a Wild Sentinel attack. I'd be suspecting Cassandra Nova's involvement just off these two data points tbh. Which idiot resurrected her anyway?
Oh, fuck off. Logan behaviour, Mackay.
R-LDS sounds like horse shit to me. Scott says 'we don't know that for sure' so how does this speculative condition have an acronym already? Mags is speaking as if it's a fact, but he doesn't even have the same body The Five resurrected. Maybe he has Umari-Key-Waiting Room-Brashear Portal Syndrome. Obviously he's scared but this feels like an idiot ball moment, and a cynical jab at Krakoa. The Five was something they got right, even with Sinister in the mix. The implications would be insane. 16 million Genoshans were resurrected, 250k Krakoans (give or take), a whole bunch of vulnerable human children via The Phoenix Foundation, Captain America, and 1000 fucking years of Sinisterized clones etc that had nothing of the sort.
No, there's way too many data points that apply to Magneto alone to make seriously considering The Five's resurrections as the source of patient zero's malady. It would be scientifically irresponsible to get to the point of naming it and then an acronym for that. Mags is good enough at science to know this, and Beast is too. I'm no scientist, but it manifested during a fight with a Wild Sentinel. I assume they have better resources than the Marvel wiki I'm using, but that robot/Cassandra Nova is my prime suspect - the lady they know for certain to be involved in ongoing genetic fuckery - activating X-Genes. Though not Piper Cobb...
Or yes Piper Cobb? Smash cut cliffhangers aside, this would be a great time to retcon Homo Sapiens Superior right the fuck out of existence. It's never made sense, and not just the 'Superior' part. Again, I'm not a scientist but I'm certain that's not how phylogeny works. They're mutated humans, but I don't live in 616 which canonically operates on impossible physics, so idk. My fingers are crossed but my expectations are nil.
That is Logan behaviour, masked kidnapper
Okay, we'd known from solicits that Beast would be getting beat down in captivity at Graymalkin. I had speculated he'd give himself up to get inside, but the ol' bag over the head works too. I dig his outfit.
X-Men #7 is worth reading IMO, and it's one of the better ones based off Magneto content alone. Last issue I wrote that the formula was becoming easier to spot, and I stand by that. A handful of character moments, some new information about one of the ongoing mysteries but it piles more questions on top of half answers and speculation. For example, we get to see Scott and Max fight a sentinel and be friends. There's new information there but a LOT more questions. The characters are at the point of absurd speculation which raises tension but doesn't make them look very competent. To kick off the event 'Raid on Graymalkin' they went with a final page bag over the head instead of any choice and comic book events notoriously derail everything so friends can argue and punch each other.
All that said, it's only *just* acceptable in my opinion - and that's the best I can say for the rest of the line too. We know that there's been ongoing issues with writers simply not knowing major Krakoan plot points, though they probably have the excuse that they were writing before FOTHOX/ROTPOX ended. Surely there's someone in charge of overseeing all this, like Hickman was as Head of X. *Looks at the credits* Tom Brevoort - Conductor of X... That's a fancy way to say 'line editor/hatchet man.' I'll stop there and save it for the From The Ashes piece I'm doing, but spoilers: I'm not impressed with how this guy keeps failing upwards.
What did you think? Thanks for reading.

Sailor Moon & Nakshatras
I thought it'd be interesting to correlate the different Sailor Moons and their powers with the themes that are present in different nakshatras.
This is a super low effort post so all of it is just speculation and I'd love it if you guys told me what you associate with the different Senshi.
Other than Sailor Moon herself, there are 9 sailor senshi who protect the solar system.
Sailor Moon
A crystalline object which provides her basic power, contains limitless power and is the source of all energy in the universe. She can call upon her future self to use the power of both the future and present crystal to double its power.
she's the only one who has no power of her own and has to rely on some object so i guess that makes her Moon dominant??
Sailor Mercury
Sailor Mercury has the power to create and manipulate water. For the entire first story arc, she uses her water-manipulating capabilities only to create solid and dense clouds of mist and fog, chilling and blinding the enemy while her allies prepare more direct attacks
this is actually super on brand Mercury behaviour
Sailor Venus
I feel like Sailor Venus has more powers than other senshi??
It includes: Flight, Magic, Transformation, Longevity, Immortality (Type 4), Limited Shapeshifting, Teleportation, Forcefield, Light Manipulation, Energy Manipulation, Energy Projection, Weather Manipulation, Electricity Manipulation, Data Manipulation, Creation, Reincarnation (Overtime not applicable in battle), Can Survive in Space, Resistance to Mind Manipulation, Death Manipulation, Existence Erasure, Gravity Manipulation, Radiation Manipulation, Poison Manipulation, Power Nullification, Resistances to Status Effect Inducement and Soul Manipulation, Resistance to Telekinesis etc
idk if this is Venus' "being better than others" theme lol but i feel like these are powers that belong to all 27 naks and not just Venus
Sailor Mars
Precognition: Rei is shown to have strong precognition, where she can make full use of this ability to predict events from the near future, but it can fail sometimes.
Pyromancy: Rei is also shown to have a great affinity with fire, to the point where she is capable to manifest her future sights by forming images on the flames. The images are very enigmatic and unreliable.
Purification: Even when she is in her civilian form, she can use her "ofuda" (a Shinto talisman used to protect homes from evil spirits) to "exorcize" people, while yelling "Evil Spirit, Disperse!" (although it can cause normal people to faint, as shown in episode 10 when she tried to "purify" Usagi).
Sixth Sense: Rei is sometimes shown to have a "sixth sense", using it to detect "evil presences" and approaching danger, as shown in Chapter 6 of Codename: Sailor V manga, but it can fail sometimes when she mistook Usagi for an evil spirit.
Expert Archer: As a Shrine Priestess, she is an expert archer, and this potential is shown in her "Mars Flame Sniper" attack.
these are a variety of powers that don't really all connect to Mars energy, it's giving strong Venus & Jupiter vibes tbh
i associate the purification, pyromancy and precognitive abilities with Venus and the sixth sense, expert archer ones with Jupiter
Sailor Jupiter
Electrokinesis, martial arts, longevity, and "emphasized superhuman strength"
these powers are a bit random, i guess the author wanted to emphasize martial arts and physical strength with the masculine grahas but I get more Mars and Sun vibes ngl
Sailor Saturn
Daughter of a possessed mad scientist, a terrible lab accident in her youth significantly compromised her constitution. After overcoming the darkness that has surrounded her family, she is able to become the Soldier of Silence, Sailor Saturn. She wields forces of destruction so powerful that she is rarely called upon to use them, and unlike the others, her Senshi and civilian personae seem somewhat disconnected. She is often pensive, and as a human has the inexplicable power to heal others.
this backstory is in itself very Saturnian and I think Saturnians do suffer a lot of abuse and injustice in their lives. So all Saturn naks like UBP, Anuradha & Pushya
Sailor Pluto
Manipulation and control of spacetime, Time Wave Generation Teleport others over short or vast distances. Open rifts or doorways in space through different eras Freeze all of time (forbidden) Erect a shield of time-space energy
i mean it goes without saying but this is literally Punarvasu & Swati. both these naks have themes of space and time travel
Sailor Uranus
she possesses powers associated with the wind and sky, precognition, as well as sword combat.
this is giving me Mars & Venus energy, more specifically Bharani as it is a Venusian nakshatra in the Mars ruled rashi of Aries
Sailor Neptune
exceptionally strong psychic abilities and is the only Outer Scout who has such powers and she can channel the power of the ocean.
I associate Neptune's abilities with Pisces (neptune rules pisces so this is a no brainer) and I connect it to PBP, UBP & Revati

monster trio + sensitive/angry reader who's pmsing
opla x reader
requested: yes, but reqs are closed right now<3
genre: headcanons, no pronouns used, no use of y/n, reader has periods but gender isn't specified.
a/n: not taking reqs for now since I'm writing my finals and also working on an smau. but I am taking commissions if anyone is interested, totally not a must at all♡ unedited, no caps on purpose, its also a little short, but I hope you enjoy it!
☆luffy☆
–1000/10. brushes off your sour mood with a cheery smile and nothing floating around in his eyes.
if you were hoping that he would act a little more... sensibly during this less bearable part of your cycle, then you're dead wrong. boy is completely clueless.
everytime you lash out at him or otherwise act way more emotionally than you usually do, he genuinely doesn't think anything of it.
if you explain to him that your hormones are the reason for your behaviour, he'll just shrug and carry on as usual.
he doesn't necessarily understand how your body works, but he'll do anything you ask if it means making this time for you better to manage.
cuddling with you when you're in pain, comforting you when you get overly emotionally or giving you space. (this one's really hard for him, not because he can't be away from you, he just keeps forgetting and walking into the room your in to talk to you)
overall, this brown-eyed, straw hat wearing pirate may not be a pms expert, but he'll sure as he'll try his best for you. (no sharing food though, so don't ask.)
☆zoro☆
extremely perceptive, so he notices something is off about you, but shares that same lack of knowledge that luffy has.
he's also not the most emotional or confrontational person, if you want to talk about whatevers bothering you, then you know where to find him. he's not going to actively seek out answers.
he can take you attitude and mood swings like a champ too, so it's only when he overhears you chatting with nami about your period pain kicking your ass that he puts 2 and 2 together.
again, he's not exactly sure how to help you, this isn't a problem he can solve with his swords. so, he offers you the next best thing in his opinion, sleep. and lots of it.
if you're sad, he'll let you cuddle him until you eventually pass out (he's as stiff as a cardboard box when you're wrapped around him, but he's trying, okay?) if you're angry, he'll train with you until you can't get a word out, let alone think pissy thoughts, and you'll both nap on the closest comfy surface.
he always falls asleep before you tbh, buuuuuut. he always wakes up before you, still as he can be, making sure that you don't stir in your sleep, seeing as it's one of your only respites to the highs and lows of highschool footba– I mean, of your hormones. its not much, but he hopes that his presence serves as a comfort to you.
☆sanji☆
out of the three, he's the most likely to be hurt by your change in behaviour.
knowing sanji, he probably thinks that he's done something to encite your sudden moods and he'll seek you our immediately to apologise for whatever he's done that's made you act like this.
when you explain to him the actual situation, he calms down for a split second because now he knows he hasn't done anything to upset you, and then immediately goes into caring partner mode.
although he prides himself on knowing women better than most men, he's a bit clueless in this regard. but, if there's one thing he truly does know the ins and out of, it's you. your likes, dislikes, dreams, pet peeves, he'll pull out all the stops, each and every single action of his that you've ever talked about in a positive manner, he'll do.
I'm talking cuddles, compliments, cooking meals for you odd hours of the night when you're craving something specific, he'll do it all, if it means making this a little easier for you to deal with.
and though it pains him deeply to be away from you for any reason, he's grateful that you distance yourself whenever you're a bit snappy. he's sensitive by nature, and he'll come sprinting to you once you've cooled off a bit, ready to smother you with love once again.

Would you happen to be able to compile a list of all the evidence/mentioned traits you know of that point towards Robespierre having autism, possibly with some sources of said evidence? You have my deepest gratitude if you do happen to be so kind as to take the time to answer this ask.
Hello! I'm sorry for taking a while to answer this- it of course was the kind of ask that requires some time to write! I'm gonna break it up into two posts, I hope that's okay. I'll just @ you when I do the next part.
I feel like I should start with saying that I'm not an expert in history (feel like I have loads to learn tbh). But I am an expert in autism, as I'm autistic, and know the topic thoroughly from cultural/social/medical perspectives- several of my educational comics are used in training programs by doctors and diagnoticians. So, you can trust everything I say about autism in this post.
You probably can't trust everything I say about Robespierre though lol. Compared to some actual historians I've talked to here, I haven't developed the skills of being able to discern when the info I get in books can be fully trusted, and the more I study Frev the more evident it is that just because I've read smth in a book, doesn't mean it can be trusted as fact haha. I've read 3 different posts from different historians in the last year that've debunked several 'facts' presented to me in published books loool
But anyway! I still personally think Robespierre was autistic, and I'll lay out why in the 2nd post.
I think it would take me more free time than I have to list *all* the evidence I've come across, so it seems best to break down how you diagnose autism in modern day, and then put that in context to some examples.
So this first part is just explaining *one way* in which medical professionals break down autism and the traits. Then in the next post I'll explain how I've applied those to Robespierre specifically.
How we think about and diagnose autism from modern day pov
I wanna start by breaking down how diagnoticians think about Autism specifically.
Autism doesn't encompass a specific set of traits that every single person must have in order to be diagnosed, because autistic traits vary so much from person to person.
Instead, you break down a diagnosis into different areas of life in which someone might be struggling. How this is broken down can vary a little between tests, but it's generally split into these areas:
Social
Social reciprocity (how sociable you are with others)
Non verbal comminication
Verbal communication
Maintaining relationships
Restrictive and Repetitive behaviour
Repetitive speech or movements (basically stimming)
Routines and change
Highly fixed/intense interests
Hyper or hypo reaction to sensory input
And then basically, if enough of these areas are having a significant impact on your life, you're dx'd as Autistic.
You can see when broken down in this way, that:
You can be doing fine in some of these areas, but still be dx'd if there's a lot of other areas listed you're struggling in.
A NT person will likely have some sort of trouble in one or two of the listed areas (because we all have strengths and weaknesses). That doesn't mean they're autistic.
An autism dx is concluded from two things- if you struggle in more of these areas than less. And if those struggles are significantly impacting your life.
Just to note, I'm only talking from a diagnosis pov here, which is wrapped up in cultural contexts and the reasons we decided to give this way of being a label. Theres lots of traits we can also break down that aren't based around what you find difficult.
You could be autistic and go your whole life not knowing or needing a diagnosis, if say, you lived a lifestyle where you could avoid people and situations that are making you suffer. Your autism might make you excel in life, depending on your life.
But just esp in modern day, many of us dont have that luxury.
I'm using this type of dx in the context of Robespierre because I believe he did have difficulties that impacted his life and career, and it's significant to me to compare his behaviour and health to other politicians working in the same stressful circumstances.
But yeah I'll write this in a second post. Thanks for your patience!! 🙏

Hi 👋 👋 can I Request Asahi Rin, Ikuya and Hiyori as your senior. I freaking LOVE YOUR writing ✍ 😍. If its not too much
Oh gosh I've been busy in uni for such a long time!
Order for One steaming plate of fluff!!
Just for my cuties~<3
Rin as your Senior:
•Strict. He won't be very chatty with you but he's ready to help you wherever necessary.
•He's not very talkative, but you can tell that he cares. He's kind enough for you to be comfortable around him and feel safe, which he likes to boast about.
•With him comes a free package of having Yamazaki dad- I mean, Sousuke around so you essentially get two expert opinions.
•He'll not show you his emotional side. He believes in a the more traditional rules of senior junior relationship, however he himself finds that erasing those lines will be better after a certain point.
•Mom behaviour. After taking care of Gou, he has developed a sense of nurture. He will tell you to clean up. He will take away your phone. He will scold you for dating the wrong guys. He. Will. Get. Pissed. If. You. Don't. Do. Well. In. English. Although you'll find him giving you chocolates if you do well and will surprise you with random gifts, even if they include goofy ones like animal plushies or funky tees.
•You'll not catch him EVER wasting time. This boy likes to get his success. He lives on it. He'll read books on success, write diaries, do anything BUT waste time. He'll try to push it on those around him as well.
•There's a distance you'll need to cross before he starts being friendly with you. He's not mean, but he's not very easygoing and friendly either. Take the right steps and you might have a very motherly senior~
Hiyori as your senior:
•Brutally honest. The first time you met this guy was probably when he was judging you and you overheard him. He didn't seem too fazed about it either. It's not that he is being mean, he literally doesn't know how to speak with consideration. He only cares about his friends.
•If you do manage to get on his good side, don't expect him to pay much attention to you. Hiyori is the kind of guy who really doesn't care unless he thinks you're important to HIM.
•Yes he'll care about you and he'll give you advice wherever you want him to, but he is not going to go out of his way to ensure you're doing well. He's a sweet talker for sure, but you'd know that his words have little weight behind them.
•You'll definitely get a few glances from Ikuya, who just feels sorry for you if he ever knows that you like Hiyori.
•Hey, but on the plus side, he can definitely cheer you up with food. He's also going to be protective. You'll be receiving mixed signals. This is a true beige flag. On one hand, he'll not give you much importance in the team, however if anyone dares to look down on you in front of him, he's not staying silent either. He'll step up and give a sizzling zap of his spicy words. That's not before he tells you that you need to stand up for yourself though.
•You'll also not see him alone much. He's always going to be with Ikuya. The times you do catch him alone, he's not going to be talkative or conversational. Probably also dry on texts.
•He can't show gestures of affection so you'd get a smiley “Congratulations” and more affirmations from him. Don't expect anything more though.
•In the pool, he'll surely teach you what you need to know, but won't bother asking first. You'll need to tell him that you want to get help specifically from him. That too he'll probably reply with “why me? There are better suited people in the team aren't there~ please go and ask them, if they are busy, then maybe I'll consider it”
Yeah I don't think Hiyori would be a senior you should look up to…
Asahi as your senior:
•Dream senior of anyone tbh. He's hot, he's handsome, and he's blithe. No, it's giving Bokuto but with more brain cells. You can easily rely on him for anything you want and he'll do it for you. Happily. He doesn't care about the senior junior standards set up by the society. If something makes you happy, he'll do it. He's also dense enough to not realise that things he does might be taken in a romantic way.
•He's going to be the guy to take you out with his friends and party together. You will encounter a lot of joyous adventures with this guy. However, if you're someone who's into reading books and staying in, maybe Asahi isn't the senior you'd hangout much with. Just for you though, he's going to be texting you too~ he knows that different people need different forms of persuasion. He'll skiddadle into your texts smoothly with one of his dad joke pick-up lines.
•He WILL defend you if he sees you encountering difficulties with your mates. If anyone tries to pass off a snarky comment, he will call them out. No holds barred.
•He'll also scold you if he catches you doing something harmful. If you tell him you're going through a tough time, he'll do everything he can to support you. He may not understand you, but he will try his best to give you the confidence to face your problems head on. He'll also end up making you laugh while at it.
•He's definitely popular with your classmates and they're gonna be soooo jealous when they find out he's friends with you. You don't even have to call him “senior”.
•You can ring him up anytime and he'll answer. No matter how, no matter where. If he knows something is troubling you, he'll definitely stay up and listen, although you'll have to tell him that you're just trying to find a place to let out your thoughts. He will try to provide solutions because of the way he wants to make everyone comfortable and content.
•Please don't rely on him for educational advice though. I doubt the guy is a straight A’s student.
•You really can't get much better than this. 10/10 senior.
Ikuya as your senior:
•Quiet. In the starting, you didn't even know who he was. You just knew some “Kirishima Kun��� because of the cheer squad constantly chanting his name whenever swim came up.
•When you first met him, you immediately notice the guy's standout personality. He doesn't Converse much, doesn't come out much, but mostly, whenever you try to talk to him, he's very dry.
•He WILL take time to warm up to you, but you'll see it little by little. He will try to observe you silently first, and then if you keep talking to him, he'll gradually talk to you normally. Even though his “normal” is still going to be very less.
•You would often ask Hiyori about it, but he shrugs it off saying that's just how Ikuya is.
•If you tried to take advice from him, he'll definitely give you his experience. If you express your problems, he'll pat your head and give you a reassuring look. You won't get much reactions out of him, but you can certainly tell that he cares.
•After all, Ikuya himself doesn't want anyone who's younger to him to feel the way he felt when he was thrown into his lowest.
•You'll find occasional snacks and drinks next to your bag. It's his way of telling you that you're doing well. He may not say it to your face, but he's not afraid to text you. Text is where he talks with you the most. He will send you occasional reels, but Ikuya is also the type of guy who respects the traditional “keep distance between juniors and seniors” rule. He'd be the ideal introverted senior.
•You can always find him peacefully floating in the pool or relaxing. He's always open to listen, however, don't talk to him too much or he might not like it. He values his own space and although doesn't mind being around people who show interest in him, he runs out of social battery pretty quickly.
•He'll give you the neatest notes. You'll be surprised as to how hygienic and well kept he is. Though good luck trying to convince him to lend you any of his stuff.
#free! dive to the future#free! eternal summer#free! headcanons#oneshot#fluff#free! x reader#anime x reader#free! anime#free! rin#free! ikuya#free! the final stroke#free! Hiyori#free! Asahi

Hi chaos,
I don't know if you've heard of the Ohm-Nanon fans going to Nanon's concert wearing Ohm masks but it happened? (I don't know how to end that sentence.) (Sorry, English isn't my first language.)
You have written about parasocial relationships so I wanted to ask why are people still involved in Ohm-Nanon? Bad Buddy ended so long ago and they are still doing all this. What makes Ohm-Nanon so special? We haven't see such huge bad behaviour from other pair brands.
Please never ever apologize for how you sound in English which is a dumb broken language anyway lol fr you're English is great
anyways um, what in the fucking purge?? lmao sorry the masks thing is just taking me out I'm imagining it and the image in my head is giving kdrama to the max with the discord music and everything lmaoooo
I had not heard of that b/c I don't follow actors like that at all this is very much Brand New Information.gif for me whew wow
Soft disclaimer here I am not an expert behavioral science or anything related so like, anything I say in regards to this is based only on what I've read, can link to from experts in the field, and speculation.
I don't think OhmNanon are necessarily "special" tbh like this behavior is extreme but I wouldn't call it "new".
In western fandom you had or still have fans behaving like this we just call them "tinhats".
Like, take Larries for instance, Louis just spoke about it in an interview that nothing he can say will deter the conspiracies theorists so he's kinda stuck. This article from VOX is old (2016) but it features a pretty clear cut timeline of the theories, and obsession tinhats have with Larry. Even before Larry there was J2 (Jensen Ackles/Jared Padalecki from Supernatural):
I want to note that One Direction stopped being an active band in 2016, almost 8 years ago. And neither Harry nor Louis have been spotted like, hanging out~~ in public for almost that entire time. Meanwhile Jared and Jensen have been been married to their wives since 2010, almost 15 years.
To play fair, Caitríona Mary Balfe (best known for Outlander) is also at the root of a tinhat conspiracy with her costar Sam Heughan. Caitriona has been married since 2019.
Western fandom likes to pretend this environment of fan entitlement, and obsessing over costars relationships is an East Asian entertainment only thing. I thoroughly disagree, and I'm sure the people involved in these various tinhat conspiracies, many who have been thoroughly and ruthlessly harassed along with their spouses, family, friends, and anyone else caught in the crossfire would also disagree.
For me the only arguable difference between like MewGulf and Larry is MewGulf played up skinship as a means of capital and for work, while Louis and Harry were just two dudes in a band.
[I even watched the old school MewGulf videos of them during Peak Fanservice Era and I gotta say it's all so obviously hilarious fake and played up I would have never taken them seriously as a true blue couple. They reminded me more of Adam Lambert making out with his bassist during his FYE tour (Tommy, who from what I remember is straight but idk 100%) for the fun and rock n roll of it all.]
I'm getting off track, I don't think OhmNanon are "special" by-the-by because I've seen this entitled and obsessive behavior with other tinhat ships. The length of time doesn't really matter, what matters is sunk cost fallacy:
"the phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial."
Fans have invested time, love, and literal money into Ohm and Nanon, therefore giving them up - and thus giving up the "community" they've build with other Ohm and Nanon fans - is unthinkable and painful.
Combine that with general fan entitlement towards public figures, the para-sociality of believe you, individually, know what's "best" for this person - aka this STRANGER - and there's a belief that you can change or force an outcome that suits your needs and wants.
There's a lot of dehumanization involved in fan entitlement, ppl stop viewing public figures - especially actors and musicians - as products rather than people. And with a product if you leave a bad review, and enough bad reviews the company will fix and change the product.
But people aren't products, and you can't force them to do what you want or be who you want them to be just because it upsets YOU individually.
So at the end of the day, what's gonna happen with Ohm and Nanon? Well, they'll probably just keeping doing what they do. Filming their individual shows, maybe one of them will do another BL - I think Ohm already has one in the works? - and try to move on with their lives. They're coworkers and from what I've seen seem fine being coworkers. I'm not interested in speculating what their relationship is, or was, publicly, they've said they're fine with each other so I'm very es lo que es about it.
For fans, well they're probably slowly taper off eventually with only a core group of "true believers" or whatever like some MewGulf, BrightWin and others have. As fans I think the only thing we can do is discourage the behavior, and be empathetic towards the people being harassed.
Now I'm gonna leave you with my favorite debunk of a tinhat post:

YOU GOT: TADASHI YAMAGUCHI
˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ matchup for @stars-tonight
˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ if you would like a matchup, read this!
'sign: capricorn, personality: isfj'
𓆩♡𓆪 yamaguchi is a scorpio so that's earth x water
𓆩♡𓆪 i already know that scorpio x capricorn is a very choatic duo but here is a quote from the experts (?) at TODAY.com haha
𓆩♡𓆪 "They create a powerful and meaningful connection almost immediately. Scorpio's intensity complements Capricorn's grounded nature creating harmony and stability. Scorpio and Capricorn also have a physical connection that is off the charts. These two will build a romance that is both powerful and enduring."
𓆩♡𓆪 which is so accurate because yamaguchi really can be intense at times, especially during volleybal lol
𓆩♡𓆪 he's more chill in conversation but there are probably other things he is very serious about like studying or art or something so it's good he has someone stable to calm him down
𓆩♡𓆪 not that you'd be the one doing all the comforting because tadashi literally jumps and flips at the oppertunity to comfort you and cheery you up
𓆩♡𓆪 he is an infp
𓆩♡𓆪 you both being introverts defo means you'll spend most dates in solitude
𓆩♡𓆪 he considers those the most intimate
𓆩♡𓆪 but early on in the relationship it makes him super nervous to hang out with you alone , without any other people around so there is a lot of feet shuffling and a severe lack of eye contact until maybe 2-3 months into the relationship
𓆩♡𓆪 the fact you're both feeling types (f) opposed to thinking types really does contribute to compatibility because yamaguchi needs something caring and compassionate like he is, instead of someone who is more austere like tsukishima
𓆩♡𓆪 not that he secretly hates tsukki or anything but the fact you both have such big hearts and he doesn't need to worry about coming across as 'feminine' or 'weak' with you puts his mind at ease
𓆩♡𓆪 pre-dating he may have put on a 'tough guy' act by like being inconsiderate in conversations and talking over people and being 'brutally honest' just to impress you but you — and literally anyone else with eyes — can tell it's all a facade
𓆩♡𓆪 because after saying something even slightly mean or being rude, the life is literally drained from his eyes and he wears such an apologetic expression
𓆩♡𓆪you are a judging type and he is a percieving type; which means he'll learn to be more analytical with you
𓆩♡𓆪 tbh his spontaneity vs your routine isn't a very big issue in the relationship because although he enjoys the freedom, sticking to a schedule or planning doesn't feel stifling to him
𓆩♡𓆪 he's already accustomed to that sort of behaviour from hanging out with tsukki so he is all for compromise and letting you take the reins when it comes to how you approach dates; your comfort is his number one priorty
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
'physical touch (giving), words of affirmation (receiving)'
𓆩♡𓆪 this is the statement that made me choose yamaguchi for you
𓆩♡𓆪because he is one of the most open with his emotions and probably doesn't have an issue with expressing affection verbally
𓆩♡𓆪 he isn't the most eloquent. despite how much he wants to, he won't be able to write you Shakespearean sonnet level love poems, describing in detail everything he likes about you while rhyming and using all sorts of literary techniques
𓆩♡𓆪 it's more: *sweating profusely* "you're the kindest person i've ever met and there isn't anyone gorgeous-er than you"
𓆩♡𓆪 BUT he makes up for his lack of fluency with how cute and awkward he is, and also with how honest he is
𓆩♡𓆪 like whenever he sees you look especially scrumptious or you do something to cute or kind it just makes his heart melt, he's gonna tell you, whether he wants to or not
𓆩♡𓆪 and even if he doesn't , you can tell how he feels just by the way he looks at you
𓆩♡𓆪 legit irl heart-eyes 😍
𓆩♡𓆪and he thinks fondly of you so often so literally every other minute he's saying something nice to you/about you
𓆩♡𓆪for the first few months of y'all dating , homie does NOT shut up about you to his friends
𓆩♡𓆪 like he's always mentioning how sweet you are and how pretty you are
𓆩♡𓆪he's the type to have a polaroid of y'all together in his clear phone case
𓆩♡𓆪 the stops eventually but it has nothing to do with 'losing the spark', he still thinks you're the best thing since sliced bread, but he stops bragging all the time because he's afraid he might be hurting tsukki's feelings by rubbing his happy healthy relationship in his face
𓆩♡𓆪 and yamaguchi is nothing if not considerate so he stops
𓆩♡𓆪 but yeah , in summary , king of word of affirmation right here
𓆩♡𓆪 he also really appreciates your love language is physical touch because he wants to cuddle SO bad but he is too socially awkward and nervous to intiate any sort of physical intimacy , especially for like the first 1-2 months of dating
𓆩♡𓆪 after that he has the confidence to hold your hand freely and whatnot
𓆩♡𓆪 but at the start , he is so relieved when you hug him/hold his hand because he cherishes all physical contact with you and literally melts at your touch but he cannot for the life of him initiate
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
'cat cafe, and then ice cream or coffee'
𓆩♡𓆪 YAMA ON A CAT CAFE DATE YAMA ON A CAT CAFE DATE YAMA ON A CAT CAFE DATE YAMA ON A CAT CAFE DATE YAMA ON A CAT CAFE DATE YAMA ON A CAT CAFE DATE
𓆩♡𓆪 i'd ask if you see the vision but the vision basically manifests itself at this point
𓆩♡𓆪 if this is like your first date together and you guys are just spit balling ideas for where to go and he's suggesting like typcial first date activites
𓆩♡𓆪 in his heart he knows he prefers lowkey dates like picnics, coffee shop, netflix/chill etc
𓆩♡𓆪 but he doesn't mention any of that because he is scared you'll think he's too 'girly'
𓆩♡𓆪 so instead he suggests stuff like bowling, mini-golf, escape room etc
𓆩♡𓆪but then you say "maybe we could go to a cat cafe?"
𓆩♡𓆪 and his heart literally starts pounding and his jaw DROPS
𓆩♡𓆪 like he physically can't hide how infatuated with you he is and in that moment he has to mentally stop himself from getting on one knee and proposing
𓆩♡𓆪 like you just GET him
𓆩♡𓆪 he'd enjoy the cat cafe sooo much though
𓆩♡𓆪 the only con is that he would be so overwhlemed with the cuteness, between both you and cats like he genuinely doesn't know what to focus on
𓆩♡𓆪 poor boy might combust
︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵
for @stars-tonight: it was between yama and hinata for you but i just had to go with yama bc of the cat cafe part lol

And there's just one last thing (famous last words!) I wanted to address which has been bothering me: I've seen a fair few ppl directly comparing Way and Charlie and effectively coming to the conclusion that because Charlie was able to escape Tony, both literally and emotionally, that makes him better than/superior to Way, who has remained trapped and 'allowed' himself to become a weapon aimed at those he supposedly loves. And that smacks of victim-blaming to me. No, not every victim of abuse becomes an abuser, by any means (and it should not be used as an excuse to do so). But equally, abuse is not 'one size fits all' - no two people experience it the same. Yes, they were both 'Tony's kids', but what does that actually mean? What were the specifics of their situations? Background before arrival? Age upon arrival? Pre-existing traumas? Duration of stay? Living conditions? Treatment by Tony once there? There are so many variables and unknowns, but any one of those things could determine why one manages to break free and remain hopeful while the other is unable to even SEE a way out, let alone take it. (Which you have touched on before but which, sadly, obviously needs reiterating!) E.g., Charlie had a brother - that in itself might be all it took for him to keep his head above water while Way continued to drown. But tbh, even if two people from the exact same background did experience the exact same thing for the exact same length of time, that still doesn't mean that they will respond to it in the exact same way, and, most importantly, it also doesn't mean that not being able to overcome your trauma makes you inherently weaker than/inferior to your counterpart, because our brains/minds are ridiculously complex and we still don't understand so much about them, about behaviours and processing and the myriad effects of damage, be it physical or mental.
So in conclusion, maybe let's try and find a way to hold Way accountable for his actions, and to celebrate Charlie for his (ahem, perceived) "goodness", but one which DOESN'T rely on judging and condemning the former in comparison to the latter for being too "cowardly"/"weak"/"passive"/"selfish"/"insert other gross victim-blaming adjective here" to escape his abuser.
and this is the main thing i wanted to talk about, really. there's an important difference about those who left tony or are rebelling and those who haven't.
you said it perfectly, but to break it down a bit: babe arrived at the foundation at 8-9. for what we know everyone has been with tony since they were kids, so we can assume similar ages for the ones we've seen as kids and, unless they tell us different, i'm assuming the same for way and jeff. we know babe ran away at 19 and again i'm assuming pete was a similar age if not younger when he ran away, and jeff and charlie aren't much older. but way and kenta, who are still under tony, are notably older than that. i think way and babe are around the same age, so they have been with tony for at least 10 more years than babe has, which means they both have been constantly bearing the brunt of tony’s spite for a lot longer. we have seen tony abuse them both physically and psychologically, so i don't think it's a stretch to think that they not only suffered the longest but also the worst. i'm by no means an expert on this but there are plenty of reasons for a victim not to leave their abusers, and it's not a secret that the longer a person stays in that situation the harder it is to leave.
in charlie's case, as you said, he has jeff which means he wasn't really alone. i haven't seen anyone compare charlie and babe but it's also important that charlie knew about the human trafficking, therein lies the difference between "simply" running away and trying to do something imo. also, as much as charlie prioritises babe (and i honestly don't think he spared a thought for himself once he decided he would help him) it's not only babe he wants to free from tony.
you said it best; even if we pretend they all started their life with tony as equally blank slates, which would be a lie, leaving would still be so much harder for way and kenta.
one of the things i like most about pit babe is how despite having a big cast the characters are fleshed out enough to feel real, at least to me. i may not judge them or their actions in the same way i would a real person's, but i do like approaching and trying to understand them, motivations, etc as if they were real, so i love being on tumblr reading meta and having these conversations.
to summarise: please stop the victim blaming thank you.
also sorry (again) that it's taken me so long to decide to reply to this that in a few hours we'll have two whole episodes more to discuss lmao but i'd love to know what you think about what we learned in ep 11. specially because i've seen worse things since then, hahan't. but also, i just want to know! and if you only want to yell and/or want me to read your thoughts and not respond just say so, i'll be happy to either way.
thank you for your time, i know you're just venting but this is great and i'm happy i can be helpful 💞

well, with what said i probably am something under this umbrella of non human terms i guess, its just hard figuring out what and im probably not the only one struggling, i mean tbh my pronouns aren't entirely human (they/it/clown/jester/jelly), i guess since my friends mentioned my animal like behaviour i just started to question myself a little more, which is definitely causing identify crisis. i guess since discovering therians it got me questioning lol
btw i just thought i would add that list of behaviour to maybe get some other viewpoints on it since im not an expert.
●biting/licking/urge to chew and taste with my mouth
●crawling alot and running up the stairs on all 4s (im around 15-17 now fyi)
●anything that dangles i have to play with it
●small spaces/dens>>>>>>
●randomly putting my hands in paw like shapes
●collecting/hoardin everything/anyting (i have a huge feather an crystal collection)
●randomly doing that animal/cat strech
●random animal like noises
●cant sit normally for the life of me
●the floor>>>chairs/beds
●my friends pointed out i always like to sit higher up the them?
●i used to pretend to be a pokemon/animal and find myself still doing it somtimes
(sorry its long lol, i dont know how much of it counts)
~💜🍂
its alright to not know what subtype you are, or not know what specific creature(s) you are!
some of these could potentially be related to autism, adhd, sensory disorders, or others, but being otherkin can also be linked to psychological reasons! (its actually not that uncommon for some to identify as cat therians due to autism-related reasons)
'fraid I really cant give more than that though, sorry1

It's weird and disrespectful that you spend this much time nitpicking the behaviour of people living in countries that border Russia for being in the "NATO fandom" or whatever the fuck you think not wanting to be invaded by Russia means (Russian forces have been occupying Georgian territory since 2008 fyi)
What about showing genuine empathy for victims of imperialism? Cause it seems like you never actually mention Ukraine at all unless it's to complain about NATO (which is not being invaded) and how the people of Russia's former colonies are annoying to you for not thinking the Soviet Union was a good thing. Have you said anything in support of the people most affect by the invasion? Like at all? It's always "listen to people affected by this issue" until they disagree with you. Newsflash asshole, you are not an expert on the geopolitics of the region and your haters know more than you.
'spend this much time' is a funny thing to say about a girl making posts. it ony a blog. anyway i've been pretty clear that i think invasions and bombing people to death are bad. i just am not constantly saying this because i don't think anyone needs to hear that from me. i think they know that tbh.
however THANK you for sending this ask it has made my day to know i have haters. please develop a parasocial hatredom of me it's my dearest ambition to have one of those. that's how i'll know i've made it
#ask#eastern european who has just discovered the concept of imperialism is one of the most annoying guy types online for real btw

Because tradition now: thoughts on the new Tlou episode!
- every interaction between Ellie and Joel was wonderful and heartfelt, just those few scenes hit really, really hard and were very effective
- the escalator omg
- Ellie and Riley, I love them
- family as a reason for Riley to join the Fireflies and how she told Ellie, she still knew what having a family felt like while Ellie never had one and therefore couldn't miss it hit very hard, especially because now in the present Ellie is fighting to keep the person alive who became her family
- the infected in the doll shop was really effective. It makes a lot of sense that we don't have this constant hordes like in the game because this way they are actually menacing and dangerous. Surviving one clicker is hard already. Like one infected is enough to infect them both. I would love to see some more horror elements though
- I wanna know what happened at the 7/11 :D
- Ellie's and Riley's behaviour towards the dead guy is very telling. And makes sense. There's a certain apathy because they grew up in this kind of world, being confronted with death on many levels
- curious how they'll handle the Fireflies. Because Riley says they managed to liberate several QZs. We know they liberated Salt Lake City, but never saw what this actually means. They don't seem to have places like Jackson that are really functioning? So it's probably closer to what the WLF is doing? So I assume we'll see the ending being ambiguous.
- maybe that's just me, but I can't see Ellie willing to sacrifice herself for humanity willfully. Idk. But tbh I'm sure Jerry is full of sht and would never be able to make a vaccine or cure. Like right in the two first episodes we have two experts clearly state that there can't be a cure or vaccine. And that was when stuff still worked.
- very curious for the winter part and I really hope we get to see Joel snap.

I agree that KP dropped the ball hard but at the same time has anyone expected such a weird and fucked up obsession about Kate?? I don’t think this kind of behaviour and frenzy is predictable
I want to say that this all drama arround Kate has been surreal, nobody would have expected this level of madness. But W&K and their team doesn’t want to acknowledge the fact that they are more ‘important’ than they believe they are. That also apply of how they have underestimated Catherine’s fame around the world and unable to see how certain squad has been successful in many occasions to trend things and damaged W&K’s reputation (affair and p*gging), it was obvious that they would start stirring the sh*t and then many would join and more, after seeing the stupidity and mockery on social media when Charles announced his illness.
This is also a result for not taking their roles seriously, they believe that everybody in this world see them as evil royals part of an evil institution, when some doesn’t think that, I think W think more about the institution being evil than the public tbh 😅. So, they believe nobody would care if she disappears, but people obviously cared. I am not an expert on PR nor crisis, but I’ve read some books and articles, and one of the first things apparently you have to do as a PR person/crisis manager is that you need to elaborate and imagine as many scenarios as possible of what can go wrong and how to avoid it or act if that happens. I refuse to believe their team is that clueless but oh well, I think they are, and even if as many said, that W&K have the last word (even ignoring good advice), the staff should have come with a plan of what to do to at least reduce the damage, not just to go and sit down. W&K and their staff honestly are naive and clueless AF
yeah I think it all just comes down to them not looking at things from every angle
