i personally think eddie's decision to take kim on a date makes so much sense for his character. this is a heavily traumatized man who has not properly processed the grief of losing his wife and mother of his child. this is a man who has been seeking to recreate the fantasy family he'd built with christopher and shannon in his mind - even though shannon herself was ready to divorce him before she died. this is a man who wants nothing but a second chance, an opportunity to try again, to make it work, make it better.

and then he sees kim, and his good conscience is clouded by potential. she looks exactly like shannon. she laughs like shannon. she's quick-witted, charismatic, magnetic. she's absolutely gorgeous. she feels so easy and natural to talk to. she isn't shannon, she just feels like shannon - eddie doesn't even know her at all. but to him, she might as well be a carbon copy. she is someone that is so easy for him to project all of his wants and desires onto. she is someone who could be just like shannon, maybe, at least for now. eddie wants to find out for himself.

this is a decision eddie is making purely out of his own wishes, and he is not thinking about it clearly; he is being straight-up delusional. this is one of the first decisions we've ever really seen eddie make that is so blatantly self-serving and selfish, even more so than leaving for the army. this isn't a self-defense mechanism, this is a self-sabotage. some sort of fucked-up penance, or maybe a willing step into purgatory.

for maybe the first time in his life, eddie isn't thinking about anyone else. he esepcially isn't thinking about christopher - imagine what chris would think if he found out his dad's dating a dead ringer for his dead mom (let alone that it's on top of dating marisol)? even if eddie's somehow justifying it in his mind - maybe chris would be happy about it too - he knows this is a terrible choice and he's doing it anyway.

he is desperate to recreate what he thinks he could've had with shannon, he is very much hurting and still in deep mourning, and he is still not being honest with himself about what he truly wants or needs to be happy with himself. he's also realizing that whatever he wants, it probably isn't with marisol. but instead of breaking up with her, he's making the choice to complicate things for himself even further. it feels like some sort of subconscious self-flagellation. very ex-catholic of him.

it's so interesting that eddie is doing this without considering the true repercussions. he is blinded by the fact that he has a chance to date 'shannon' again and isn't thinking about literally anything else. it's going to cause suuuch a mess and i am so excited to watch how everything unfolds. i think eddie needs a bit of a reckoning to be able to get fully real with himself, and i really hope this is the first domino that tips to knock over his entire carefully-constructed illusions, the streak of sun that burns through the clouds in his mind so he can find some meaningful clarity.

Birb!

He's a new little guy we got, he's a kakariki and his name is Dragon, we're going to see how he interacts with Phoenix (our female kakariki) after he's done quarantining. He's doing good so far, and we've learned that he loves throwing fruit around his cage and trying to throw it through the bars so it ends up on the floor.

He very obviously needs a nail trim but other than that he's settling in and we'll get his nails all fixed up asap.

i do think “the one "actually" lesbian character is an antagonist whose crush on her best friend ruined her life.” is an incredibly funny thing to say about rgu/juri. Like okay yes? Is that supposed to be a negative

[nyanyashizun]

Just in case:

25+, soukoku (dazai x chuuya, chuuya x dazai) (usual) style: 3rd person, short paragraph (1-3), past tense

I can understand having a preference for one type of pet over another, for a wide variety of reasons (e.g. allergies, what goes in to taking care of them, your lifestyle, etc) but I'll never understand people who hate a certain type of pet. Like self-professed cat people who say they hate dogs, or vice versa. I've had dogs my entire life, and I consider myself a dog person, but I do like cats, too. Why wouldn't I? They're soft and cute and do funny things sometimes. Even when it comes to pets that I don't find as interesting, like fish, I don't hate them. And even ones I'm legitimately scared of, like tarantulas . . . again, I don't hate them, I'm just afraid of them, just like I'm afraid of all arachnids. It's an irrational fear, but it's one deeply ingrained in me nonetheless.

Anyway.

I just don't understand when people are like "I hate cats" or "I hate dogs" . . . how can you hate an entire species of animal? Being allergic or afraid, okay, I can understand that. Even if I don't understand being afraid because you've been attacked before (I have been severely bitten by dogs and severely scratched up by cats), I'm afraid of arachnids even though I can't remember the last time I had a spider bite, so you know, fears are fears, you can't control them. But hate? I just don't understand it, man. Hate an individual animal, sure. Just like humans, individual dogs or cats can have bad temperaments and behaviors. But a whole species? When most of the individual animals in those species are so easily befriended? It just makes no sense to me. Again, I get having a preference for one pet over another, especially if the needs of one animal suit your lifestyle while the needs of another don't. But to hate a whole species . . . I will never understand.

(before the post starts: to everyone who follows me for stranger things i’m sorry you have to deal with my random adventures into other fandoms — this is for the marauders fandom so if you don’t care about that feel free to scroll 💞 and also as always fuck jkr)

me: this fic is going to be so fucking full of angst and jealousy and toxicity with rosekiller endgame

also me:

It’s silent for a moment— Barty convinced the Gryffindor’s eyes could bore into his soul if he let him stare long enough. “You’ve never needed to simply feel something, Potter?”

-

[Barty] lowered his voice, a hand almost absently reaching up to the other boy’s face. His middle finger ran down his jawline. “What does [Regulus] see in you?”

“What-?”

“He’s never looked at me the way he looks at you. What are you doing that I wasn’t?”

-

“I can move. Do you want-“

“No, stay.” James laid back down. It was dark, but Barty reached up anyway. His hand started in James’ hair then ran down to his cheek. His middle finger traced his jaw again— like it had that night on the tower. “I can see what he sees in you now.”

me in some tags AFTER i wrote the stuff above:

BRO OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES YOU SHIP IT AND THIS IS HAPPENING

dating someone who copes with crying and working out as someone who copes with sex is possibly the worst match up imaginable

Three Days Grace was right. Anger and agony ARE better than misery.

[rainbowtvz]

me and johns first argument as a couple would probably be about if we're getting a cat or a dog. for some reason it doesn't occur to us that we can get both. after an hour or two of silence between us after we yell and stew in it john comes in and says "what if we get a fox. it's a dog that's like a cat, right?"

"what? no it's not. that's a fox. a canine."

"and they can act like cats, can't they?"

"it's also a WILD ANIMAL john!"

"...right."

"can't we just get a fish, or something?" and he just stares at me as if i said something horrible.

2 days later we agree to get a cat AND a dog and raise them up together.

[binch-i-might-be]

I have decided that due to my horrible eating habits I shall make myself some Health Shots out of like. frozen fruit and ginger or some shit idk haven't decided yet. every week!

Just a minor correction - MSG is not salt, but it is a valid culinary ingredient. MSG stands for monosodium glutamate; it has sodium in it, but it's not table salt, which is NaCl, or sodium chloride.

However, the people telling you MSG is bad blah blah blah are definitely racists, because MSG sensitivity has been pretty thoroughly refuted in several studies since the wide panic about it started. It was largely centered around American views of Chinese restaurants and is super, super racist.

And if you're one of those people who want to say "Nuh uh! Not me! It's real and it's bad!" then I suppose your diet must not contain:

Ham

Anchovies

Mackerel

Scallops

Eggs (Yolk in particular)

Shrimp

Chicken

Parmesan Cheese

Cheddar Cheese

Mushrooms

Walnuts

Tomatoes

Broccoli

Green Peas

Corn

Potatoes

Fish Sauce

Soy Sauce

Oyster Sauce

Miso

... because these are all naturally high in MSG, and not in some "well it's way less than using it as a serving!" way, because... it's not. Glutamate is what gives foods their umami flavor, and continuing to demonize it because of some racist hysteria is fucking stupid.

Anyway use seasonings it make food yummy.

Genuinely, I don’t know how else to get the word out, but I feel like if your home-cooked dinners don’t taste right, you're missing either paprika, sugar, butter, or chicken bouillon.
