#-without caring about the writer

[marias-wonderland]

Just to be clear, there is no physical evidence of Gaiman Sexually assaulting anybody. Only allegations.

I agree with the "innocent until proven guilty" mindset but like, why would 4 women (I think?) at the same time decide to accuse Gaiman of such shameful acts?

Then again, money talks and makes the world move around. So I'm on the fence about it.

Neither outcomes would surprise me. Whether we have to do with a man who tries to have sex left and right, without taking into account the woman's opinion, or with people who are after a person's fortune.

Only time will highlight the truth.

I desperately need fics of post s2 jayvik or even an au with s2 jayce and s1 viktor where we explore the change in dynamic after jayce suffers his own leg injury in the anomaly. Im sure people have already seen all the parallels and analyses of jayce and viktor’s injuries, but it’s just a concept really special to me,,,,there’s nothing more beautiful than connecting with someone experiencing a similar struggle—it’s just so much stronger because of your ability to truly empathize with the other. And obviously that’s ignoring allll of jayvik’s history. I just think there’s so much potential there to expand on the possibilities of their relationship.

me to me: girl, don't do it.

me: *imagines an au where the show didn't practically forget about merlin and gwaine's friendship after series 3, and gwaine found out about his magic sometime in series 4, and merlin got to have a friend again who knew everything about him and who he could be his true self with and tell everything to and share sneaky, knowing looks with when he secretly performed magic and—*

me to me: well, now you've done it. enjoy the pain.

If wally is still around in s3, I hope they touch on his jealousy over Simon again because I honestly don't think he completely got over it, it just became less prominent. Like his solution for it in s1 was just "I'll just wait until Maddie isn't as close to Simon" and in s2 he was basically told that he shouldn't be jealous because him and Simon are on the same team. The team whose goal was to remove Maddie from his (after)life and give her a chance to reunite with Simon

like you really expect the guy who - while still thinking that Maddie was dead and that she and Simon would be forced to grow apart - still got upset over Simon ordering her lunch for her is suddenly going to be normal about Simon being a ghost, about being expected to help Simon achieve the life with Maddie he's never going to experience? I don't think so

I’m incredibly curious about the lore behind how the Milkovich kids were named. Honestly, I think the show never specified Joey and Jamie and whoever else as Mickey’s brothers, usually just referring to them or anyone else as ‘a cousin’, so lets go with what we know:

Mandy - can be just that, maybe short for Amanda? Both of those are very normal American names, no doubt about that

Mikhailo - ??? Like, I get it, the family’s supposed to have Eastern European roots (Ukrainian according to Svetlana in s4, Polish by idk who in s11 I think, but we all ignore that anyway) but where the fuck did it come from? Why would Ol’ American Terry name his kid by European name?

Iggy - from the top of my head I can think of at least 10 names this can be some form of, Ukrainian, Polish and American all together. Saw many different guesses out there, and somehow the weirdest one is his legal name is actually just Iggy

Colin - there’s no way that isn’t his full legal name. That’s it, simple, no hidden bullshit, no nicknames, and fitting enough to make the final picture of the naming traditions as confusing as possible

There’s some other a bit confusing names, but it’s not just that one pr two of them are weird, it’s that this specific combination is just wild as fuck. Also, Shameless wiki is very weird about the whole family, and the ‘Relatives’ section doesn’t add up with just about anyone, so we can add that to the mystery of it all right next to their mother, who is referred to as both dead and a runaway

i need to stop shadowboxing the concept of romance when i write. i need to make my brain go to a world where romance doesn’t exist when i write because feeling its constant presence and people’s expectations of its presence and reading in of its presence is making me a worse writer.

like. thinking a lot about that post that’s going around rn about Books That Are Clearly Afraid Of The Reader. been thinking about how fear of being interpreted or perceived or whatever permeates a Lot of what i do and always has, creatively, and frankly compromises it, especially in terms of fear of people reading romance into my stuff because of how much i write about interpersonal relationships and intimacy and reliance and vulnerability and intense emotional situations.

i need to stop trying to build a boat with my main priority being ‘i dont want people to insist to me that this is a car or make people feel tricked into seeing a car etc etc’ when there is actually no part of this boat that needs to be made with cars in mind at all i could just Build The Damn Boat. this metaphor got lost.

point is i need to stop letting romance take up space in my stories at all. even if it's just as something i'm doing backflips over and around. i need to just start writing about platonic relationships - friendships, queerplatonic relationships, familial relationships, etc - without feeling like i need to first disprove romance as an automated and inherent assumption. romance should have no quarter here, even in feeling forced to deny it.

watching the nickel apology scene from the great bluish bakery over and over going completely insane. i could rewrite this to actually sound like nickel.

[toss-a-coin-to-your-stan-account]

looking back on fanfic you wrote during high school is so crazy bc like. wow you wrote an incredibly heartbreaking mother/daughter relationship that is obviously built upon so much love and care from both sides but has been strained nearly irreparably by a choice that could never be taken back and they both love each other so much but there's so much heartache that they're both wading through and drowning in that they can hardly find their way back to each other. but also jesus fucking christ you shoehorned this thing with enough 2017-Era Musical Theater (aka Dear Chill Heathers) References to kill a fucking horse. WHY is sebastian black butler quoting hamilton

Sango and Onyx were quite hostile to each other the first time Hamber summoned them to go on a mission together with him all the way back in HZ024.

They were both arguing and didn't really want to be together. Sango didn't want Hamber to bring Onyx with them, and Onyx considered Sango as someone who would get in his way and didn't want her there either. (They turned out to be able to work well together, but they'd often clash because of their approach towards things.)

In fact, they weren't even the first people Hamber wanted to bring on a mission with him in Galar. Hamber asked about Spinel and Agate before considering both Sango and Onyx. They were a default choice, not the first people he would have asked for.

Which is quite interesting compared to Hamber summoning them to go on a mission now.

I think Hamber is asking for them specifically because he doesn't trust Spinel and Agate at the moment. So there is still a bit of a "default choice" angle at play here, but still, they are the first ones who come to his mind as people he can rely on in this situation.

He is also flattering their egos to get them to do what he is asking, but I think he is truthful in his assessment. They weren't really referred to as such before this moment, but this is the writing pointing out why Sango and Onyx are a duo at all. It's because they complement one another. One being rational, the other being bold (which is interesting because that description reminded me of Liko and Roy).

Onyx taking the initiative to say "let's go, Sango" really shows how far they've come too, considering that the first time Hamber asked them to come with him on a mission, they didn't want to be around each other. Now, it feels like they don't mind being with each other (and actually want to be together).

Also, it feels meaningful to me that Onyx calls Sango by her name since we know that giving out his own name and being remembered is something important to him. He gave out his own name to Liko as a show of respect towards her in HZ066 and asked her to remember it. He also called Liko by her name, and up until now, I think Sango and Liko are the only ones he's called by name at all. So, Sango being the only one he regularly calls by name stands out in this aspect because it means he acknowledges her.

And I need to point out that Sango and Onyx haven't argued once in this episode. When Hamber asked them to come with him to Galar in HZ024 and HZ025, they kept throwing words at each other but this time, they didn't.

In fact, they haven't butted heads or argued in a while. Precisely, the last time they did was in HZ046 at the beginning of the Terastal Debut chapter and Clavell told them to cut it out and be courteous to each other. Ever since then, they haven't argued once. I think it really shows how much their school lives impacted them in that way. It feels like they are becoming a bit more honest and more used to each other. They've become proper teammates now.

john doe hurt/comfort fic is complete <3 it's an intense one so please heed both tags and warnings in the a/n but i feel SICK about john doe malevolent as always

Summary:

It is– disproportionately confusing, like showing up at his home address only to find a different house on the lot. It isn’t like that, though. No part of this should feel wrong.

Noel’s fingers are touching his wrist. “John?”

“It’s fine.”

“You know,” Noel says, moving to get the bandages. “You’re only a little better at lying these days, daffodil.”

So there are usually 2 different "hiding da body" culprits in Omari AUs, Aubrey & Hero.

I understand why people would use Hero (I've noticed that it isn't as common anymore), but it usually has to be written well for me to really.. get it? If you understand.

Like, I KNOW it's because he cares a lot about Mari (it's the whole reason he stayed inside for a whole year when she died), but.. it feels like.. super ooc for Hero.

I understand that it's a stressful situation and that he could be not thinking straight, but Hero seems like the kind of guy, no matter the situation, if he sees somebody hurt, to try to help them.. like calling an ambulance in extreme cases like this. He doesn't seem like he would go, "lol let's cover up his death"

Plus, Hero is like.. older than the younger kids, he's said to be 15 in a dialog line in Last Resort, iirc, so he would be more mature, as the younger kids would be 12-13, and there is a BIG mental difference between that.

Plus, Hero would have more common sense? I mean, he just doesn't seem like he would do it.

HOWEVER, I think Aubrey could be more plausible.

Even though Aubrey cares about Sunny, she also cares a lot about Mari. She literally transformed herself completely BECAUSE of Mari's death, and she was willing to basically say, "We aren't friends anymore, Sunny."

People tend to overlook Aubrey when it comes to AUs (especially Omari AUs)/in general. She went through so much, and they only really tend to look at Aubrey to ship her, but Aubrey has problems. She was literally growing up in an abusive household for gods sake, so I doubt she really has a completely sound mind, and due to growing up in a household, she hates. she views Sunny and Maris household as her second home and views Mari basically like a sister. -so yeah. She cares, a lot.

People forget sometimes that Basil did it because he cared for Sunny so much that he got tunnel vision and was only worried for him. He didn't want him to get in trouble (simplified), BUT he still cared for Mari, so it's not a problem of "but she cares for Sunny!!" It's a thing of Aubrey caring so much about Mari, basically her non-biological sister, that when she sees her in distress, ESPECIALLY while she herself is stressed, she wouldn't be thinking correctly. She would act irrationally just like Basil because she wouldn't know, she is too young and she hasn't grown up and might be too scared to pick up a phone and ask for help.

It's scary and traumatic for Basil in the OG game because he cared for Mari and that Sunny basically abandoned him for YEARS, and it could EASILY happen to Aubrey under the worst kinds of points, she COULD act irrationally when she is stressed and sees Mari basically having a mental breakdown. She COULD see SUNNY in pain, but in her brain, she thinks he's long gone. She COULD be too scared to pick up a phone, maybe due to stress or maybe because she doesn't want Mari to get in trouble (i.e., like Basil did).

For Aubrey, she was basically the closeest to Mari (and maybe also Sunny as well, but we only really see the past mostly through Sunnys eyes, so its unsure, and Sunny is very unreliable at times in Headspace), people sometimes forget this fact that Aubrey is close to Mari, so she could make more sense as a "hide a body simulator" culprit. Also, it's really fun exploring Aubrey in this way, lol :]

Basically:

Hero is unlikely because;

He is more mature (still young, yes, but 15 is way different than 12-13).

He would probably call for help and then help Mari calm down.

He seems like the kind of guy to have hope that he's alive instead of instantly thinking to hide a body

Why I think Aubrey would maybe make more sense;

Once again, very young and likely wouldn't know what to do as she isn't very developed mentally, and she wouldn't be used to able to handle this kind of stress.

Likely would jump to the conclusion that Sunny is dead and that she needs to help Mari be fine (she'd likely get a sort of tunnel vision like Basil)

She would act VERY irrationally. We have seen her do that even when she is about 16 or so years old.

She would try in any way she could to help Mari and could possibly think, "If she gets in trouble, she'll get more sad/it would be extremely bad."

She just wouldn't want anything worse to happen to the group, thus why she would hide the body so Mari wouldn't get in trouble and make things worse aswell

She could have a very hard time thinking about picking up a phone in these kinds of situations, note: because of age and/or mentality.

Overall, Hero can work if written well, and the characters can still bounce off each other properly, but usually Aubrey makes more sense.

(if this makes no sense I made this without taking my meds right after school and waiting 1 hour for a bus.)

it's actually crazy that we have anne and aramis who slept together once and barely really interacted yet all fans can talk about is how much they dislike sylvie and more so, how much they dislike athos x sylvie when they discuss ships.

don't get me wrong, i like anne x aramis but logically they didn't have enough on screen time to be able to really build their relationship. in the beginning they had a fee build up moments until they finally slept together and of course after that, they barely interacted because anne naturally wanted to keep her distance in order to protect their son.

yet fans can't stop going on about their hatred for sylvie x athos when really they had a really good build up and after realising he was wrong, athos actually changed his perspective and of course they started a family together.

i know it's mainly fueled by racism and anti-blackness towards sylvie but my god do you bitches have anything else to talk about.

and by the way im NOT saying people should be moving their bitching onto anne x aramis, it just doesn't make sense to be to be discussing ships and yet i never see anything about a ship who barely interacted.
