Devzel Blood Moon Dance

[mollysunder]

I genuinely believe if Silco was alive Isha wouldn't have died. I don't mean that in the "Oh if Silco was alive the circumstances that caused everything to devolve would never have happened theway it did" way (which I believe too). I mean, if Silco was there to see Isha get blown up, that girl would have been turned to a whole new kind of mutant before she could actually die.

Silco would have made Isha 70% shimmer before she could flatline. It wouldn't matter if her organs were beyond repair. There are plenty of fresh organs from newly dying bodies just lying around. You think Silco's going to let Singed walk away with Ambessa to be the only (grand)dad with a kid who's a new version of human?! Silco just isn't that kind of person.

it is very telling that average genshin players cannot comprehend seeing an actual mature, qualified leader that is actually good at taking her job seriously after meeting archons who either is still childish, clowning whimsically, or straight up incompetent.

reading all about the white calf, love your work, can i just say. gonna put some hibrides appreciation out there because damn. nobody in this story is lucky but she in particular seems to be having a Bad Time

Yeah a lot of things suck pretty bad for her. Unwittingly in a lavender marriage, mutual dislike between her and her dogshit husband, extremely strained relationship to her former best friend/gay quasi-boyfriend/father of her children who alternates between avoiding her and desperate attempts to make her love him again, having to constantly maintain multiple levels of facade to socially protect their throuple and therefore herself, shy and socially isolated, dealing with trauma that she doesn't even begin to recognize as such because 'nothing bad actually happened', pretty sure something is deeply wrong with her, living under a damocles sword of catastrophic social consequences should her children be exposed as bastards, has discovered an unexpected and mostly unwanted pregnancy while on a months long cross-country trek, etc.

She's also someone who prides herself in being rational, put together, stoic against adversity, and not overly emotional and weak, which basically means all of this is getting suppressed and compartmentalized away like crazy.

She HAS managed to fall into a rhythm with it all and her life IS NOT constant misery and agony. But the situation she's in for the duration of the story completely tears her out of this rhythm and makes all these factors very acute (though also opens her up to new opportunities, new and more positive/differently complex relationships, and much bigger things to worry about than her domestic life).

Unrelated drawing of her struggling not to lose her shit in public (in this case trying not to laugh)

I think what might actually help the families of trans loved ones is to actually engage with where the trans person is at - especially if the family isn't quite understanding yet. When I came out, I was completely alone in figuring out my manhood. I had peers and I had exposed myself to so many trans people who explored gender, and while it was amazing, it isn't quite the same at times. I grieve quietly, sometimes, about all the missed opportunities that might have just made it easier for my family to have seen how utterly happy I was. It took them a very long time to actually notice that I was happy, especially once I got on testosterone. I'm lucky that they saw that happiness eventually, and slowly accepted it. My manhood is completely detached from their influence, both to my relief and chagrin. It's sad to me that I learned to shave from a kind online stranger, somebody who didn't even have a father and yet, I do. I have a father. I grieve at the loss of a potential shared experience. I grieve about the pain I went through when I was in that stage of transition, especially because it was raw and vulnerable. I grieve that many trans people today are traversing the path I had to, because it's sometimes lonely (even when you do have other forms of support).

It's hard to know that I will never have gotten my sense of being from my family. In many ways, it has severed a lot of connection with them because there were so many times that I was begging them to see happiness when they were focused on the idea that I was almost in a state of purgatory - flesh which felt warm but held no familiarity to them. I don't harbor ill-will toward them, I hope I don't leave the impression that I despise them. I understand what they felt, even if I can't conceptualize it myself. However, it's a raw wound in my heart, and I don't want to leave anybody else feeling that way, either.

the fact that eddie and maddie have never interacted outside a group setting is so funny actually. you cannot tell me those two wouldnt get on like a house on fire. i fear the day we get a solo maddie and eddie scene is the day we get buddie canon

a short guide to putting expletives in dialogue!

i feel like a lot of the time when writing fanfic people just go overboard with cursing, especially in dialogue. when putting curses in dialogue, you really need to ask yourself if you’re doing it just to do it.

the first thing to consider is the character. is this character someone who swears a lot? if they’re restricted by the rating of their media, do you think they would swear more often in reality?

the second thing you have to consider is the situation. if this isn’t a character who swears casually, then why are they doing it now? does it add comedic effect? does it pack a punch? words have purpose, but curses especially do. there’s a taboo surrounding them, and they tend to be associated with anger or stress. however, this means that it can also be funny when they’re used.

take this as you will! i hope it helps!

it’s really funny to me the amount of times I’ve been approached by total strangers in public asking me questions I Do Not know the answer to but I guess I just give off approachable (?) vibes or something 💀

The dad in Dexter is unnervingly calm about his new 10-year-old foster son who has 0 conscience.

i think the way sans wholeheartedly supports papyrus through everything is really sweet but also very interesting for both of the characters, because i don't think sans is trying to humor him or is 'afraid to hurt his feelings' like many might think, i think sans fully trusts papyrus's own decisions and if he's ever wrong he can figure it out himself and grow from it, if anything sans really respects papyrus's choices, he doesn't think papyrus is making a bad decision by trying to be a royal guard, his brother knows himself best. papyrus also... doesn't have that much support from anyone else, sans is his only family and he barely has friends at all, i think for sans it's more important that papyrus feels supported than anything else, like i said, if papyrus is wrong about something? that's alright, he'll be okay, he'll learn from the experience, and his brother will be there for him. but for this situation, it's more important for papyrus that his brother believes in him when nobody else does than being told he's being 'naive'

Everyone’s been judging my gf’s and i age gap. Its 8 years (i’m 21 and shes 29) is it really that much and weird?

I cant help it if i fall for older women-

i'm sorry babe! personally, i don't think that's a weird age gap, so long as you're both equals in the relationship. the question isn't is she too old for me, it's: is she treating me like her equal? is she understanding that we're at different points in life? does she support me through life events she's already gone through? does she respect the fact that i'm still figuring myself out while she's probably already got herself pretty worked out? that's what's important. and if the answers to these questions are yes, then you have nothing to worry about!

i encourage you to be a bit cautious: dating and emotions in general are so much different in your young twenties than they are in your late twenties! but so long as she's respectful and understanding that (right now) you guys are at different developmental points in life, then you'll be great :)

hope this helped baby!!

" Kill your parents."

"I already killed one of them, took his power and grew horns for the act, Of course at the time he was trying to possess me and as far as parents go even with all my trauma, Stan and Al...they did okay better than some others. Have you ever considered killing your parents? How did that work out for you Mister?"
