Everyone who says Katniss and Peeta having kids in the epilogue wasn’t the most in character ending for them needs to reread the books are you kidding me.
#it took Katniss 15 YEARS to agree to have kids bc she FINALLY!!!FELT!!!SAFE!!!#HER KIDS WILL NEVER BE JN THE REAPING THEY GET TO GROW UP SAFE!!!! ANF HAPPY!!!!#katniss always had a maternal instinct this is so very clear with prim and rue….if you think it’s not in character for her to want kids#once she knows it’s safe to do so…we are thinking of separate characters#’but it’s a misogynistic stereotype that kids make women complete’#it’s actually misogynistic to assume strong/independent women don’t want children#but go off I guess!!! with your toddler understanding of feminism!!!#its 8:43 am and I’m choosing violence.#the hunger games#thg#Everlark#Katniss Everdeen#Peeta mellark

RIP to you but what makes me immune to falling into a cult isn't that I think I'm too smart or moral... It's that I think it would require willingly making myself part of a group of people.
It would seem to require actually speaking to someone, but most of all what makes me immune is that I think the cults are all avoiding me personally, because they don't want me. They only knock on my door once and then never again and I always think it was something I said.
My toxic trait is that I think being sucked into a cult requires being willing to seek or accept human contact, and that it requires a group of people who actually wants you among their numbers [have not found one to date].
#this is a joke#mostly#but i am joking#like yes there are broad cultural movements you could end up in with cult like thinking from behind your keyboard#like being right wing#but also I am joking#Like sometimes I sit here and I think being 'starved' for social interaction should make me really vulnerable to all sorts of shit and#chill Rabbit- you'd have to want to talk to another person at all for literally any of this to be a concern and you left.#Every group chat or interest group you have tried to join because you could not stand anyone.#I don't even have enough desire for approval to couch what I am saying and keep actively unfriending and blocking people#despite any previous attachment for continuing to say shit that rubs me the wrong way after I made my stance on it clear#which seems a little like the opposite problem#again I am being flippant and I am joking#but 2% at what level of lacking any social impulse or in-group out-group distinction capacity at all do you become statistically less likel#to fall into a cult simply by not being socially available to them or by being a genuine inconvenience to include#and then I think#you keep dropping people like hot coals for expressing things that make you feel 1% micro-aggressed#your tumblr dashboard is a curated revolving door and I don't even think you look at a screen name before arguing whatever is on your mind#like yeah you are socially isolated but idk it's been 7 years and I still haven't been driven to even -want- to try participating in a grou#haven't been able to form new friendships where you actually talk to another person either#Also I am pretty sure a lot of cult tactics directly parallel forms of parental abuse that haven't worked on me since i was a toddler#but that's besides the point#the point being I'd have to willingly talk to anyone in order to become part of a group and I am joking that would seem to rule out cults#I'm sure I'll do a bunch of reading on this and again this is 98% a JOKE

just finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, and it is a game written by cowards for cowards.
the final twist genuinely ruins the game. it's so stupid as a narrative decision. i hate it so much. it almost makes me understand what the people yelling about The Last Jedi being too subservient to its themes were yelling about (OBVIOUSLY not the ones that were being bigoted and loud and wrong about it, but just the ones who had actual issues with its narrative directions/execution). genuinely, the twist takes what could have been an extremely solid 8.5, maybe a 9/10 game down to a 4/10 game with nothing of interest to say deluding itself into thinking it's saying anything of worth by thoughtlessly repeating patterns as if that's supposed to generate meaning without any real effort of actually committing to that meaning, or seeing the world as anything beyond its basic binary worldview of Good and Bad.
putting that twist in fundamentally cuts the legs out from any actual, interesting and substantive critique it could have leveled at the legal system and our feelings about people on trial and their perceived guilt or innocence, and it just ends up reinforcing it as a power of good that Will Ultimately Prevail In The Search For Truth, as if that is even remotely a thing any legal system is concerned with, especially the one in the game that mostly just stumbles into The Right Choices because it's a game controlled by the player. it's frankly ideologically incoherent to the point of saying nothing because its critique is unfocused and toothless. best it can muster is "maybe some people are corrupt and lying, but if You take Advantage of The System, you can beat them" as if malicious compliance is supposed to change the system. fuck off.
ran out of tags but. i'm serious about this lol, i really hate it as a narrative and ideological choice. the game threatens to say something bold and interesting and then just pulls the rug out from underneath you. it sucks. it's very much like 12 Angry Men in that way, i think, except at least that movie Knows what it's saying and that its basic premise is its ideological downfall, this just doesn't really feel like it says anything much interesting or coherent, ultimately, because the criticism either drowns in the length and comedic nature of it, or just ultimately isn't focused and pointed and nuanced enough to actually say something meaningful. like ik someone's gonna do a "kid's game" thing but hello, kid's shit has always been nuanced and just bc it's "for kids" doesn't mean it has to abide by some binary ass morality that flattens all its interesting critique, especially when you're constantly led, structurally, to the more interesting and nuanced narrative choice only to have a twist completely ruin it and making it all feel like a waste of your time. plenty of things are nuanced and interesting and "for kids" without deflating their themes and messages by writing a stupid twist that undercuts the interesting parts of its arguments.
#james talks#people will probably be mad about this one but i'm Wright about it. Phoenix Wright.#sorry. had to be done. making up for the lack of pun names and jokes in the last case.#anyway i'm so serious when i say it's a cowardly narrative direction that just completely undercuts the whole fucking point—#it was trying to make about the ways the legal systems of Japan are set up to encourage only closing cases by any means necessary#like it just literally doesn't make even half the point bc guess what? Ema just isn't actually responsible.#so you don't have to have any remotely complicated feelings about the justice system. it WILL get the perpetrators at the end.#Edgeworth? didn't do it. Ema? didn't do it. you don't ever have to have complicated feelings about working with people.#sorry i just REALLY fucking hate this choice so immensely i am more filled with rage the more i think about it#apparently this is a actual tag so.#Ace Attorney critical#resisting tagging this with the main game tag bc i don't wanna hear spoilers for the other games.#or hear annoying fans bitching about my correct take in my asks.#in case it wasn't obvious i am serious about the take but i am also still processing.#probably have slightly more nuanced thoughts when i've heard more opinions from other people and seen their takes.#i already know someone's gonna make some bullshit argument about believing in the good in people and how that makes sense but.#getting a charge of guilty literally is a failstate in this. your client and associates can never Actually Be Guilty of anything—#besides some light corruption. the twist about Lana not being a murderer is fine. it works bc it's clever.#but Ema not being a murderer is shit bc it completely ruins the promise the whole thing sets up. like sure Lana still goes to prison at—#the end but we can't dwell on that at all or feel anything but happy bc it's the last note of the game. so they have to make Ema not guilty#did it ever cross their minds they could've bonded again in prison?#like if you're sending Lana to prison anyway. just send Ema in with her. she can still be guilty of the thing and you can actually make—#more interesting critique of the system as abusing people who have no other choice instead of them—#Being Wronged Through No Fault Of Their Own as if they're innocent little toddlers with no control of anything. like with Edgeworth that—#narrative choice was more acceptable bc he was like 9 years old. Ema was 14. what the fuck are we talking about.#i'm not saying being 14 means she should hang or whatever like she was still a teen but they could've written her to be guilty—#but not A Murderer in a million different ways and they chose the most annoying and cowardly path bc—#it promises to be interesting and nuanced and then just completely flips you off right at the finish line—#as if your interest in its commentary and what it Wants To Say was too much investment as if they didn't spend 80% of the game doing that#by making you commit crimes to save people (Phoenix admits lawyers aren't supposed to investigate so 90% of the evidence is illegal)

twitch makes 1000x more sense when i remember they only got out of the cage gardens like. 5< years ago. they do not have 40 years of life experiences. they still have to fuck around and find out
they're at the equivalent stage of when you just Did Shit as a kid to see what happens bc you don't know what happens yet. the stage where you should be gently guided to not stick your fingers into electrical outlets. except twitch is an adult so nobody is stopping them
#in all ways except physical twitch is my younger self needing a child leash#to stop me from trying to toddler kamikaze myself off the beach cliffs directly into the ocean for no fucking reason#i am always thinking about this but it's hard to explain bc i am always worried it'll come off weird#twitch is Not a child xD#100% adult. this is more like reaching your 20s as an incredibly nd adult and realising you can't do shit for yourself#but bass boosted x1000000#projection? yes#londonmusings#twitchery

Starting to think I may have accidentally become somewhat important at work....
#im i think the only nonmanager trained on orders and returns#which means that when all but 4 of us are out i get to cover two queues#i am so fucking tired and cranky#to top it off im apparently the go to for when reps wanna do some underhanded shit#which is surprising because my answer is almost universally 'what did my teammate tell you?' or 'ask your manager'#sales reps are just 30 year old toddlers who must be kept indoors when it rains lest they look up and drown

like a row of captured ghosts
kit snicket
teen
2,568 words
Kit Snicket visits a house in the city.
for @asouefanworkevent's woevember day 2, the baudelaire mansion! featuring my enduring headcanon that the baudelaire mansion was previously the snicket mansion, and b+b get it when they marry lemony. i am 100% willing to admit it is Unlikely, however let us not forget kit saying “our families have always been close”, so, yknow
title from welcome home by radical face
Kit could get in if she wanted. She’d been given lockpicks expressly for the purpose, because the locks on the house were special, but she didn’t need them. She knew the statue in the back of the garden had a hairline crack in one of the hands – she didn’t remember which one, but it wasn’t as if there were many options – that, when pressure was applied, opened a brick in the patio. Under the brick was a lever. If one were to pull the lever, the little window in the hidden attic opened, roof shingles shifting out of the way, and one could wiggle themselves in, with enough effort. Her grandfather had put a number of clever little secrets in the house, and Kit had gone looking for them when she was very, very young, so she knew a decent amount of them. Few others did.
(The lockpicks confirmed that. If they thought that was the only way someone could get into the house, Kit was not going to correct them. And there were worse things, weren’t there, than simple theft, things for which no real defense existed.)
Night air bit at her ankles, her fingers, her neck. She wasn’t dressed nearly warm enough for November, having grabbed her blue spring jacket in her hurry, but the cold was of little concern to her. The mansion stood across the street, set back from the road, with that winding brick path up to the front doors, the maple trees scattering their leaves around the yard. It was in the heart of the city but in a place one would never know unless explicitly looked for – a turn off an erroneously marked dead end, then another, to an old avenue along a river with more trees than houses. Her grandparents had picked it on purpose. Presumably safe, but close enough.
They had added to the windows. Neat, decorative ironwork, curled into hearts and vines.
Kit put her hands in her pockets and crossed the street, her footsteps the only noise.
The fence out front had been replaced as well. Kit’s grandmother had done most of the architecture, and Bernadette Snicket had favored a simplistic, practical style in her work, but the new fence matched the intricacy of the window grates. That just-too-big space in the bars a person could slide themselves through if they desired, that Kit had, years ago, when she’d – that was gone. Kit walked the length of the fence twice, considering. She couldn’t linger long. There was a light on in a downstairs window, glowing soft behind the drawn curtains. Kit could not put it past them to eventually see her. She walked down the sidewalk one more time, picking up her pace. There was no way around the fence. Climbing over it didn’t seem like an option. The points at the top of each iron bar looked sharp, glinting in a stray hit of light from the streetlamp over near Kit’s car.
(Kit wondered how much was a choice – how much was a needed decision – how much was meant to erase. She couldn’t judge Beatrice and Bertrand for that. Not without damning herself, which Kit was not, overall, in the habit of doing.)
Of course there was a sewer grate nearby, and of course Kit pushed it up soundlessly and slipped down inside.
Her grandfather had three boxes – one Kit had already taken some years ago and given to Bertrand, for reasons better left unsaid. One had been given to Lemony. The third was still in the house and held a very specific map of the city. Headquarters wanted it, among other things. And if Kit came across one of those other things, she was at her liberty to take them.
(She and Beatrice had argued, Kit remembered. The sewer was dark and icy, and Kit shivered hard, grinding her teeth together. They’d argued about those other things, and Kit had not been able to give Beatrice, or herself, a satisfactory answer. It was one of the last conversations they had, if not the last. Most likely the last, if Kit was honest. Beatrice had made it clear where she and Bertrand stood, and where Kit stood, and that it was no longer in the same place. And it never would be.
Kit told herself over and over that she would never do it. There would always be another option, as long as Beatrice and Bertrand were alive to emphatically refuse. Right now, there was this option – Kit was going into the house. She was taking the box back. Nothing else. And the box wasn’t even going to headquarters. There were other plans for that box.)
The box would be in the downstairs office, under a floorboard. Probably Bertrand’s office. The windows were one of the ones her grandmother had put the stained glass in, and shards of blue fell over the green floor when the sun sat just right in the sky. It was a good room for thinking, and Bertrand likely did a great deal of it there. Kit swallowed and hurried further through the sewers, past the names that didn’t matter, and started scanning the curved ceiling. If one knew where to look, there was a sloped hatch up there that led up into the passage between the house and 667 Dark Avenue. Kit would open the hatch, get inside, go into the house, and then leave the same way. And there it was. Tucked in a shadow, just waiting for her. Kit reached up for the wheel, ready to heave the door open. It was going to stick with so little use.
The wheel turned easy under her hands.
Kit jerked back, her whole body seizing up. Someone had been here. Someone who was not her. Someone who wasn’t just checking. Kit spun the wheel frantically and the hatch fell open.
(She’d brought Olaf here. Her grandparents hadn’t cared who knew the location of their house, but their generation had been different, and Kit’s parents had stressed, when they could, the importance of keeping this secret. Her associates thought it was a safehouse, one they could never quite find the location of, and wrote off as another ruse. She’d driven Olaf, pointing out landmarks the whole way, because she’d thought –
Kit was not foolish enough to think she’d get married. But Olaf was important to her, and she was foolish enough to think he’d stay important, and that when Lemony inevitably married Beatrice and they took the house, Olaf would be there too.
They crept in through the fence. Olaf chased her around the maple trees. Kit took him into the house through the font doors and showed him what her grandparents built. And he understood what the Snicket mansion meant, in the way he had to understand what the Count’s mansion meant. Some time later, Kit realized he had not.
Olaf’s memory was shit, except where it mattered. Except in the things she wanted him to forget. He’d remember where this house was and it was only a matter of time before he – before anyone – got their hands on the Baudelaires.)
Kit hoisted herself up into the passageway. She tugged the hatch closed behind her, then felt around in the black for the dip in the center. Her fingers kept slipping, shaking, pushing into metal that wasn’t right, nicking her nails, her heart thudding faster and faster in her chest and rising to a crash in her ears – where was it? There. She found the button and jammed her thumb into it. The metal hissed as it sealed from the inside. It wasn’t enough, Kit knew. Nothing would ever be enough now. But it would have to do.
She ran along the passageway, keeping one hand on the wall. It came to an abrupt end, and Kit had her hand ready to pull open the trap door into the office when her mouth went dry. She swallowed, and then did it again. Once more. She let the trap door fall open and climbed into the Baudelaire mansion.
The office was dark, as expected. Bertrand kept his desk by the windows, because of course he would. Not because Kit’s grandfather had, but because Bertrand would obviously like the view. The bookcases still lined the walls, but the books must surely be different. Kit wondered what he kept there, but there was no time to get into it. She could see the strip of light hovering under the door. It was poetry, probably. He probably kept poetry. Fairy tales he read to his children. The chair at his desk was different than the one her grandfather had there, perfect for sitting in and telling stories. She turned and faced the wall.
The floorboard was in the far left corner, at the front of the room. Kit moved slowly, quietly, barely breathing. Bertrand had covered the whole floor with a thick, heavy carpet, so at least that was in her favor. She bent down, tugging the corner of the carpet up, and lifted the single loose floorboard.
(She always wound up doing this, she thought, in a voice that sounded stunningly like Lemony’s, wry as he ever was. Sneaking into someplace to steal something important. At least now she had experience.)
There it was. Just as it had always been, another secret waiting for its time. The small, jeweled box with the complicated lock with the code her grandfather had taught all three of them. Kit tucked it inside her jacket and replaced the floorboard.
It hit her like a shot, her breath catching in her throat. The sewer hatch locked only from the inside. She couldn’t go back that way. She whirled around, clutching the lump in her jacket to her chest. The best way to leave – the closest way out – that was through the library, two rooms down, through the passageway in the wall and up to the hidden attic. But that meant leaving the room. Standing in the hallway. Walking to the library, unseen.
(She did not have experience. That voice sounded like Jacques, if Jacques had ever been so straightforward in his disappointment. She had to get out of this house before she kept thinking.)
Kit waited. Listened. She couldn’t hear anything from here in the office. She went through the map of the ground floor in her head, the foyer at the front, into the parlor, the living room to the left, the kitchen to the back, the dining room to the right – the hallway behind the kitchen, with the office, the billiard room, the library. The left wall in the library, where the hidden door was. Conceivably, it was easy. Wasn’t it?
She turned the door handle and left the office.
The hallway was half-lit from the living room at the end of the hall. Now she could hear the phonograph, playing a jazz record she didn’t recognize. Beatrice and Bertrand had to be in there, and it was right across from the library. Unless they were in the library. Unless they were – Kit gave herself a shake. She wouldn’t know anything until she moved. She just had to move. She just had to move. Kit just had to move.
She couldn’t see the green floors. Beatrice and Bertrand had rugs everywhere, in elegant red and ivory. Kit tiptoed over it, hesitating. Paintings hung in groups down the hallway, flowers and little portraits and framed children’s drawings, scribbles of the garden hung with the same care as the art. They must be Violet’s. The jazz record kept going. Kit’s grandmother had liked oil paintings of flowers. She’d had a few in the hallway herself in her time.
(Katherine, Bernadette Snicket had said.
No, Kit insisted. How old was she then? Four? Just Kit. And her grandmother had looked pleased, like Kit had passed a test. Everything was a test and always had been, tests she’d completed perfectly, and why did it hurt? How far had Kit gone down the hall? The box sat against her ribs like another heart, heavy. Everything ached, especially her jaw, clenched shut like her life depended on it. And it did. This life around her she wasn’t a part of anymore, this family, this safety, Kit’s life existing outside of this place, everything depended on Kit, on her walking out of here alone, back to her apartment. The whole series of events spooled out in front of her as a nightmare unraveling. Was she crying? Why was she crying?)
Kit took another step, then another. The library was one foot away on the right, a mile away, mere inches, an eternity. The passthrough to the living room on her left gaped open.
Bertrand hummed a bar of the jazz record. And then –
“What’ve you got there?”
Kit froze.
“I knew I left it somewhere in here – ha! That book I was looking for, for Violet and Klaus.”
“You really want to do the cob, don’t you?” The smile was clear in his voice, and Kit pictured Bertrand leaning forward in his chair, his hand on his chin, gazing at Beatrice and bursting with delight.
“I absolutely do! I get to do a fake death scene and everything. How many kids books are going to give me that kind of opportunity, Bertrand?”
They were alone. Their voices were far enough into the room that they shouldn’t see her at the doorway. They joked like she remembered, exactly like she remembered. Did they joke like that with their children? Would they have joked like that with Lemony, here, like they used to? With her? Would Olaf have – would her grandparents – wasn’t Kit supposed to be here too, not because it was hers, that wasn’t what mattered, what mattered was –
Kit held her breath and didn’t let it out until she’d slipped into the library, until she’d rushed to the wall, until she’d nearly slammed her hand into the door hidden in the dark wallpaper, until she was safe in the narrow passageway. She wanted to run, to keep running. But they’d hear her in the wall. She took it step by step with her chest burning, traveling up two floors to the hidden attic. There was the little window in the roof, waiting for Kit to wiggle her way out. She did. The climb over the roof and down the trellis was harder, with her whole body trembling, but she made it.
She stumbled through the garden, racing over the brick path back to the road, to the fence – she shoved her heels into the ironwork, scrambling over it, the tip of a bar slicing into her calf and her palms. She slipped on the way down the other side and her hip met the sidewalk, pain skittering through her leg and up her side. Get up. Get up, Kit. And Kit did, back to her car across the street, into the driver’s side.
Kit took long and deep breaths. In and out, until her head was back on straight, with the plan set right in her thoughts, as it was supposed to be. Everything was as it should be. She set the box down gently on the passenger seat. She did not look at the Baudelaire mansion. She would patch herself up later, when she had time. She took another breath and put the key in the ignition.
She had to go back home.

I think one of the hardest things for privileged leftists have to learn is that they can’t just automatically agree with the majority. They can’t just automatically agree with the opinion of the POC, the queer, the Jewish person they’re interacting with in the moment because ‘they’re the experts in their own life.’ Which is true! But there is no monolith. POC and queers and religious minorities are not some mystical pure hivemind that always agree on everything and have correct opinions all the time. People are people. What one person finds offensive another might not care about.
I feel like it’s very evident these days where you have some people of a minority saying x is bad and some people saying x is good. Which is correct? Well, you have to educate yourself and make a critical assessment of the arguments before coming to your own conclusion. But now you have leftists who are desperate to be the most agreeable person in the room with the ‘right’ opinions who waffle and fail to organize in any meaningful way because they refuse to let the subject at hand have meaning for them, personally. They’re so busy ‘listening’ to minorities they’re not actually thinking about what they’re hearing, they’re not processing the biases underprivileged people can still carry, they’re not critical of reactionary politics or propaganda so long as it’s what the people immediately around them agree on.
Grow a spine, pick a side, and actually have a framework for your political and social involvement other than ‘let’s be real niceys with everyone :)’
#ra speaks#personal#politics#sorry I am. so frustrated with some people rn. sorry that international politics can’t all be sat down like toddlers and told to play nice.#politics is MESSY and EVERYONE has ulterior motives whether they’re aware of them or now. look at behavoir and contrast it with words.#this feels like an offshoot of oppression Olympics ala ‘the most oppressed person in the room is always right’ no. no they ain’t.#you NEED to understand history and arguments and process them and come to YOUR OWN CONCLUSION#stop asking minorities to tell you how to think and feel. get up off your ass and make commitments. if they end up to be antithetical to#your beliefs - you can change! but you need an actual belief system to hold political movements and organizations against.#otherwise your just pouring water through a net and retaining nothing productive at all.#hm. anyways.#I have the emotional disposition of a chihuahua in an ASPCA commercial#👍 okay take care eepy time#oh god the tags. tumblr what the FUCK are you doing. why double hashes. wh. bro pls stop.

Fun fact about AU!Alice: She has yet to master chess. She’s also extremely competitive and hates losing.
This was originally going to be a drawing of the Eating the Pieces meme, but I quickly discovered that I’m not good at drawing perspective, so instead I made this comic where Alice tries to eat the pieces, but is less than stellar at hiding it.
#upbringing au#she prolly did consider swallowing the pieces but she’s a bit sensitive when it comes to the subject of food#so she settled for stuffing her cheeks like a squirrel#feels weird to give memes when i don’t think I’ve really talked about her personality yet#but one thing you gotta know off the bat:#this girl is a child#she’s a hyperdeveloped toddler raised as a lab experiment to become a killing machine#yeah she is FAR from mature#also should i put image descriptions in the alt text?#pacific rim#au#the things i make#star rambles about shit#star attempts to draw#<-new art tag#hermann gottlieb#alice the kaiju brain#what am i doing

my dad was always just very insecure, he had the fantasy of getting rich and then having his eldest, his son. take over the company.. he worked hard for that dream. i don’t care about it either way. my brother is incompetent, he can hardly take care of himself. if anyone was going to take over it’d be me, but i bet he’ll hold onto it til he dies because he just can’t stomach the thought of me being better than him
#he used to yell at me when i corrected him but i was autistic so#i kept doing it lol#‘you think you’re fucking smarter than me?’ i was. still am.#he thinks he’s slick but all his tips are from that one book#where they tell you to say people’s names over and over#to make them like you#it’s pathetic#he didn’t get a formal education for one. he was providing for his family#which is nobel and all but nigga you don’t even know algebra miss me w that shit#he couldn’t even teach a six year old how to tie a shoe#without getting pissed off#i did that#i taught my brother how to do his laundry at least five separate times#because if my dad had to repeat himself once he’d throw a goddamn tantrum#he’s a full grown toddler

Do you think Arcus is flustered because:
A) he has a crush on Gale
or
B) Arcus is upset that Gale is tagging along because he wanted to be alone with Maud, even if it'd mean leaving Gale completely alone on Christmas
I think you can already guess the answer.

#ooc tag#《 this is one of Arcus's more annoying moments 》#《 I know you hate Gale but that's Maud's brother. That's all of the family she has. 《.#《 Maud's dad left when she was young and her mother is so negligent that she might as well have abandoned Maud and Gale. 》#《 if you can't tolerate ONE Christmas dinner with Gale then i don't think you and Maud are going to work out long-term 》#《 when i say he acts like a toddler i mean it 》#《 in episode 217 (?) Arcus stomps away like an immature child because his mom doesn't think he can do chores 》#《 as much as i talk about him having chemistry with other characters i don't think Arcus is mature to be in a romantic relationship at all#《 damn it i shouldn't have brought up this comic here 》#《 I've unleashed a ravenous beast that I have failed to tame 》#《 also don't be fooled by that dinky little kitchen 》#《 Arcus has a huge ass mansion 》#《 with peacocks and a disco bowling alley 》#《 no i am not kidding 》
