Shen Qingqiu is so funny bc what do you mean all the other mxtx protagonist confront their trauma, beat the big bad and find their peace with the loved ones knowing the dead are at peace, while sqq just refuses to think about anything that makes him slightly emotionally vunereable, instead coping with a terrible humor?

Like, literally the first book, he kills the skinner demon. There is like, one sentence that goes 'oh shit i killed someone, but that's just a book character, but also i killed someone, actually whatever i'll just not think about it' and proceeds to shove the whole ordeal into a neat small box at the back of his mind to be never opened again.

The family he left behind? What family. What life? I don't know what you're on, so imma just make a dick joke and not think about it ever again.

At a Peak Lord Meeting

Yue Qingyuan: Shidi, why do you have a child with you?

Shang Qinghua: This is Wei Ying, he is my new son. Also if the Jiang clan asks about me, pretend you don't know me

Shen Qingqiu: Should I even ask?

Shang Qinghua: They were abusing him! If they are going to mistreat him then they don't deserve him!

Yue Qingyuan, sighing: Fine then

Shang Qinghua: When we get home I will introduce you to A-Yao, your new big brother

Wei Ying, tearing up: What about shijie and chengcheng?

Shang Qinghua: Fine, I'll kidnap them too

Yue Qingyuan: Shidi, please!

if miracles exist, then the girl you hate is right. if miracles exist, then that means it's your own fault she's with someone else. if miracles exist, then that means you weren't doomed from the start. if miracles exist, then utena didn't win by chance. if miracles exist, you doomed yourself. if miracles exist, then the girl you love is right

The way Kravens Last Hunt wrote Peter makes me convinced Peter has anxiety, like...the way he described his feelings, physicaly and mentaly, was too relatable not to believe that

i mean if you had a muscle-bound hunter out to skin you alive, you'd have anxiety too

spider-sense is kind of like in-built anxiety – and the unfortunate fact is, it's founded on the promise that something bad is, 100% guaranteed to happen.

Spoilers for the last days of Lobotomy Corporation

Do the other versions of Ayin look similar in kiwi form to him? Or do they all have little quirks like X having a paper stuck to his face, Abel having a little bird splint as a cane, Abram being a messy matted kiwi ball surrounded by alcohol bottles, and Adam just being albino?

Pretty much yeah. Different shades of black and yellow too I guess? But yeah basically. Also X is kind of smaller than the others, and fluffier. I like X :)

Imagine splitting yourself into multiple people though couldn’t be me….. —A system.

⏳ Somewhere in the city, a chase was already in motion. But here, it was just the two of you—waiting for who would make the first move.

The lounge was dimly lit, the golden glow from the overhead chandeliers casting deep shadows against the walls. The air was thick with the scent of whiskey and expensive perfume, a low hum of conversation filling the space as people slipped into quiet corners, murmuring over half-finished drinks.

But none of that mattered.

Because across the room, he was watching you.

Jake sat casually at the bar, one arm draped along the back of the leather stool, a glass of something dark and amber in front of him. He looked too at ease, the kind of effortless calm that came with knowing exactly how much control you had over a situation.

And right now?

He had all of it.

Your fingers curled around your own glass, untouched. You weren’t supposed to be here. This wasn’t part of the mission. You should have already been gone, moving onto the next lead, following the trail of evidence that was supposed to bring you closer to Specter.

But for some reason, you weren’t leaving.

For some reason, you were still here.

A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Jake’s lips, and before you could second-guess yourself, he lifted his glass in a silent toast.

Cocky bastard.

Your grip tightened slightly. You had been chasing him for so long that it was unnatural to see him like this. Not a shadow slipping through alleyways, not a whisper at the scene of a crime.

Here, he wasn’t a ghost.

Here, he was just a man.

And that was dangerous.

Jake tilted his head slightly, an unspoken challenge lingering in his gaze. You’re already here. You might as well come say hello.

Your body moved before your brain could catch up, legs carrying you across the lounge with a steady confidence that didn’t match the pulse pounding in your throat. Every step felt deliberate, like walking across a tightrope with no safety net beneath you.

By the time you reached him, Jake was already setting his drink down, his smirk widening just slightly.

"Didn’t think you’d actually come," he mused, his voice smooth, easy—too familiar, like you had known him for years instead of knowing him as the man you were supposed to arrest.

Your nails dug into the palm of your hand. "I thought I’d see what kind of lies you’d tell me to my face."

Jake chuckled, shaking his head slightly as he reached for his glass again. "Lies? No, sweetheart." He leaned in slightly, lowering his voice just enough that it sent something sharp down your spine. "I only ever tell you the truth."

Liar.

And yet—

You stayed.

The city outside pulsed with movement, a chase still happening somewhere beneath the skyline. But here, in the quiet hum of the lounge, in the space between words neither of you were saying—

It was just the two of you.

Waiting.

Watching.

Seeing who would make the first move.

sorry for posting so much about Omegaverse I've just been reading it tonight out of curiosity and am fascinated by a version of biology and society that is like a caricature of how TERFs think the world works. what if we eroticized the absolute reification of misogyny as both totalizing caste system and inescapable essentialist biological telos

[chaos-in-one]

I think the system & plural communities needs to get way more normal about people who are not ready to recover. ESPECIALLY if you label yourself as 'pro recovery'.

Is trying to fearmonger about recovery and/or convince other people not to try to do things that would help their recovery a dick move? Absolutely. But you know what else is a dick move? Trying to force someone who is not ready to start recovering into recovery. Treating people who haven't gotten far or aren't actively working on recovering like shit. It's not 'pro recovery' to do that shit. Doing that doesn't help those people recover. If someone is not ready for that, is not ready to work on recovering in xyz way, forcing it will do far more harm and likely push them in the opposite direction, away from recovering. And treating people in those situations like shit just harms their mental health further, it doesn't help them recover in any way.

Recovery works different for everyone. And sometimes, that means there's stages or points in time where little to no active work to recover is happening, because the person is not ready to move on yet. And that is okay, that is not something that should be shamed.

i think it would be very funny to consider for skin creatures the one 'do you reproduce by budding' moment from spongebob but its like Luo Binghe trying to be a dick to Liu Qingge specifically and in the process saying the most unhinged shit.

Man being like: What you breath air?

and very confused Qingge is just: You don't?

Who wants to bet that Anders was planned to be in that post-credit's Executor cutscene montage but they changed it to Bartrand when they realized it would go over real badly with everyone?

[valtsv]

i know i don't have to defend myself online but i do feel like explaining that while some of my fascination with the history of execution and torture stems from a morbid thrill, i do actually find it a genuinely interesting and valuable insight into human psychology and sociology and the history of state violence, structures and abuses of power, and the effectiveness of propaganda and spectacle as a tool of that violence. you cant fight the system if you don't even understand how the system works, after all.

[passions-and-pupils]

Heyyyyy gues who wrote a oneshot where Shang Qinghua kills OG Shen Qingqiu with the truth but doesn’t know it for sure until 5 years later <3

I almost called it schrodinger’s murder but it’s to angsty and serious for that

I think my biggest issue with elphaba in act ii is that her first scene is going to nessa and begging for help because she’s gotten disillusioned with her ability to make a positive change as wicked witch and realizes she needs someone to stand behind her

this is obviously a big change from her mindset in defying gravity, but we never see what she’s doing as wicked witch or shown why she’s disillusioned. we know she flies around helping animals, but we don’t know anymore than that. compare that to thank goodness, where we’re shown how glinda is unhappy not just through the lyrics, but her interactions with fiyero

and i think this is a really simple fix that will translate well into a film. just show elphie going through a lot of trouble to rescue some animals, and then realizing she’s barely made a dent in the problem. or maybe she gets hurt and almost dies, and she realizes she can’t keep going on like this

it also makes her being tempted the wizards offer in wonderful a lot more believable if we’re explicitly shown the emotional toll being public enemy number one is. like, we’re kinda shown that through her interactions with nessa and boq, but the movie can definitely do more and im excited to see how they handle her
