#And taking care of himself for once

[present-mom-blog]

Atsushi needs reading glasses (based off of all those official arts of him with glasses).

Is he going to buy those glasses? Absolutely not. They're specially made for his eyes, because his eyes are abnormal, like everything about him. Making the reading glasses a little more expensive than the normal pair.

So Atsushi just goes about his life, squinting at things and refusing to buy reading glasses, because why would he buy something for himself when he could spend it on Kyouka-chan or save it?

(If those special made reading glasses show up at his desk one day, courtesy of Ranpo, no one comments on it.)

It makes me laugh whenever artists draw Deku as the twink and Rody as the muscular one.

Like I'm sorry, Rody is SCRAWNY.

He arguably has the least muscle definition out of any character in mha.

Exhibit A.

And I'd like to think that this is because Rody doesn't eat a lot due to, you know, being broke, but still wanting his siblings to have enough food. So he ends up either giving his little siblings the bigger portions of whatever food they get or just not eating at all.

And while he may not have a lot going for him strength wise, him being lighter means he's fast as fuck and I think that's why the chase scene with him and Deku made so much sense.

Deku's obviously well built because of all his training, literally just look at him.

But yeah, I imagine that once Rody actually has a stable job and steady income he never really loses the habit of not eating a lot, so Deku ends up having to remind him.

correct me if i’m wrong, but aren’t 3rd degree burns actually not painful because all the nerves are fried?

what i’m getting at is, how bad were Zuko’s burns?

imagine 13yr old Zuko waking up after the agni kai and not realizing his face is burnt at first. Sure, there are some sore spots (around the edges of the burn where the nerves are less damaged), but everything feels fine.

Until he realizes he can’t feel himself blinking, and when he reaches up to prod the area, he can feel bandages but... no sensation from the skin on his face.

He’s aware he’s hurt, but otherwise, he must be confused. Growing up in the palace away from the fighting, it’s likely the worst he knew was of smaller burns. It’s only later when someone (Iroh, maybe) is helping him undress the bandage to apply a salve to the burn that he catches sight of himself in the mirror.

One eye widens in shock and understanding, the other unable to open much at all.

One of my mutuals opinions is the "bro code" thing, that Curly is one of those guys who wouldn't care about the victim because the perpetrator is his friend and I'm really banging my head on the wall like that other anon. I've only played through the game once but Curly's behaviour/reactions etc read completely different from the "bro code" thing and I have to wonder if my mutual and I even played the same game.. like the constant digs at him from Jimmy, his body language in his face reveal and so on like you mentioned in your post. While this game is a little different obviously, it kind of reminded of a point in Alice Madness Returns that makes it very clear that Alice's pain blinded her to the abuse of the other children and her failure to act earlier because of it. Curly is guilty of a similar inaction but it doesn't change the fact he was a victim of Jimmy too. I don't think I can look at it any other way because both of these games have really stuck with me.

I genuinely think it really is the idea that people want a simple easy to blame problem and the idea that the only relatable victims of abuse are those that "surpass" it or do a lot to help others. When it comes to victims, especially those that don't fit the typical demographics, who either accidently perpetuate it, enable it or aren't ideal in some way shape or form, people jump to ignore what they went through as it's easier than dealing with those conflicting sentiments.

The bro-code conversation in Mouthwashing stems from a concept I generally dislike that there had to be something about Curly that made him meet or keep being friends with someone like Jimmy. I think people genuinely underestimate how many like decent and good people just know an asshole or are friends with someone who is really bad outside of their view/established dynamics. The game makes it clear none of the inaction against Jimmy is because of a lack of care, it is a lack of understanding from the privaleged postions they have as men to not have to worry about what Anya does/went through and the type of extremes men like Jimmy will go through to cover it up. They are all too preoccupied in their own strifes.

Another thing I see being oversaturated the idea that you have to be a freak, misanthrope or have a disorder to do the thing Jimmy does. The game is an escalation, it's a spiral that I don't see people comment on that Jimmy was not likely having the mood swings and episodes of rage/frustration we were seeing in the game. This is after they all start experiencing the worst moments in their lives that he got THAT openly bad. Of course, this is just my interpretation but much like in real life, people that go to extremes like that usually live mundane lives. It's a pressure cooker affect to where the stress made them pop. It's self inflicted but still the case.

I really think people need to be more willing to acknowledge that not everything needs to be an extreme or in black and white or easy to understand. It doesn't need to be happy or have an answer or solution, especially in the cases where the abused sadly helps perpetuate what they experience. It's not he should've known better from experience or shouldn't he have known what could've happened because victims tend to not like to think in matters of the worst. Not to mention, especially in cases of abuse where it feels so personally directed that you don't expect to happen to someone else.

Till death do us part? You’re not getting out of this that easily.

And with that I think I’m done with my little marriage series (as I have been calling my bigger Sauron pieces)! I will post them all together sometime. Happy Halloween and remember not to separate out parts of your soul for the making of cursed jewelry!

Bonus thing with some extra portraiture under the cut, idk

Okay! This one is less rendered than the other two, but here's some doodles of Tulpa figuring out how to co-exist! (Aka Fresh not taking training seriously while Dream is trying desperately to get his friends to think he's normal.)

When Dream first returns to the Star Sans', he finds himself in a pickle, because he needs Fresh to move his body. Sure, they made a tentative agreement that Dream trusted Fresh not to break, but Dream hadn't been specific enough with the guidelines.

Fresh pilots Dream's body based on the commands from his soul, but more often than not Fresh simply decides not to listen. Sometimes when they're training, Fresh will suddenly make Dream fumble his bow or send an arrow flying way off-target. Dream is always frustrated by this, unaware that Fresh it doing it for his own good and is forcing the guardian to take a break.

Blue was also made aware of Fresh very early on. One day he was passing the kitchen where Dream was cooking and spotted how Fresh's little form was wiggling out of the hole on Dream's skull. Blue made Eye-contact with Fresh, but said nothing since it seemed like Dream was aware and didn't mind. He waited until Dream told him to acknowledge the parasite directly, but suddenly a bunch of Dream's weird actions made sense to him. Blue regularly makes sure to check in on Dream, before abd after he's aware of Fresh, because he knows Dream works himself into the ground.

Dream (eventually) figures out that Fresh was being clumsy for his sake and nearly cries about it (even his mother and the villagers never did that for him, and Blue was the only other person to ever pull him away from training for his own good) so he gets a bit emotional. He feels bad for how angry he used to get at Fresh for doing that, but Fresh never gave him a proper explanation either, so it was a two-way street.

And while Fresh was lienent around Blue and Ink, he never slipped up around Nightmare's gang. Though, he did fight seriously, which to him might look like goofing off, which is completely separate from Dream's fighting style. (For now Dream uses Arrows and his Bow, but I'm thinking Tulpa has a T-Shirt Canon or a Nerf Gun by the time they make-up.)

Ideally Fresh cannot be seen during combat because he actually pilots from around Dream's soul, but sometimes his parasite form expands to support Dream's weak joints and act like a shock-absorber.

I still don't think Ben did anything wrong during "Duped." He deserves to do normal teenage boy stuff like see a movie on opening day, and he was trying to give himself that while also saving the world AND supporting his girlfriend's tennis match. He didn't spend enough time with his duplicates to realize that they had opposing personalities to their assignments — it's not like he sent his asshole-self to Julie's match on purpose.

actually I find it so funny that they made a whole new bot named aftermath instead of actually showing the aftermath of s1

[annes-andromeda]

So I read the Junior Novelization of Wish at Barnes & Nobles just to see if there were scenes with Magnífico and Amaya-

⚠️———Spoilers Below———⚠️

On the one hand, I think it’s cute that Amaya calls her husband “Mi Rey” and Magnífico calls Amaya “My love” and “Darling” so it’s canon they have pet names🥰❤️🥰

On the other hand…. yeah, aside from that, their relationship seems meh. I know the books tend to omit things from the actual film, but reading these snippets makes me even more upset that they didn’t just go with Magnífico and Amaya being a villain couple (who own a cat named Charo).

I feel like that original idea would’ve been so much better and more entertaining. Idk my shipper heart just wishes(heh) that the couple stayed together the whole story rather than going the boring route and making Amaya the good one.

Just imagine them being an evil couple who are unapologetically terrible, absolutely adore each other (and don’t betray one another), and who spoil their pet cat like it’s their child. Imagine

And also, apparently there’s a scene in the climax where Magnífico strikes Amaya with his evil magic and yeah no, sorry, but in my universe, Magnífico would NEVER. Sorry not sorry🤷‍♀️
