No One:
Me: Anyone ever think about how because Tyler was tricking her, he accidentally ended up as the one person who was seeing Wednesday for who she is and not who everyone wanted her to be? Specifically not who he wanted her to be, because he didn’t even have another image of her to fall back upon? Weems saw her as trouble/her Mother, Gates underestimated her, Sheriff Galpin only saw her Father, Xavier as his childhood hero, Enid blatantly assigned her a social mask but Tyler looked her full in the face and took her as she was? From their first meeting to their last, seeing Wednesday as she is, as she comes, all her dark edges and bright ideas and meeting her as an Equal Opponent, never underestimating her, never covering her up…. Just her. Only her. (And that in turn blinds her to who he is, until she pulls his mask off by accident).
Me: Anyone else ever think about that?

Since book 7 part 5 (the part where we meet Meleanor/Maleanor 👀) is coming to EN this month, i would love to see your take on lilia’s proposal to meleanor! i mean they were like little kids right? it couldn’t have been that serious…i think the only reason she even brought it up again is because she could tell lilia still genuinely loved her…(even if he didn’t realize it himself?) but, oh well! Let’s think about silly childhood shenanigans to numb the pain! ^_^ (orz)
oh shit?! get ready for a doozy guys, it's comiiiiiing ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
I chickened out of posting the whole thing (look, I get VERY carried away when it comes to these wacky kids and their Tragedy), but I do believe that it probably ended with Lilia getting embarrassed and just shoving the first thing he sees into his mouth to try and cover for it.
(we're just lucky it wasn't a frog this time)
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers#twisted wonderland episode 7 part 5 spoilers#twisted wonderland book 7 part 5 spoilers#please excuse the Dissertation that's about to happen (i have too much headcanon about them)#they've been ambiguous about most of the fae aging/developmental stages (plus lilia and mel's species age differently)#so this is entirely me assuming based on context#but i think that lilia being ~99 was probably about the equivalent of 9-10ish?#(i don't think his age maps perfectly onto 'human age times 10') (if only because i absolutely do not believe general lilia is 29)#(but in this case it feels right to me)#and i think of meleanor as being just slightly older (like ~11-12ish)#so like...kids but not LITTLE-little kids#so i think lilia was serious in a 'i have a huge crush on you and i haven't thought beyond that' kind of way#and meanwhile mel was more cognizant of how their dynamic was basically#lilia: i would die for you#meleanor: that's dumb#(lilia 600 years later: man she was right. that was dumb.)#but yeah I think she might've assumed (or hoped) he would grow out of it#except whoops oh no it just got worse#and then raverne made things MORE complicated and you know honestly maybe getting murdered was kind of a relief#meleanor in heaven: well at least he won't accidentally raise my kid to have the exact same -- are you kidding me#(i have too many thoughts to express properly i'm sorry) (i just. love these morons a lot okay.)

no because the thing about rupert is that he has been making terrible choices for years. he’s lost his passion, he’s lost his family, he fills his life with səx to get by, to feel something good. and then taggie shows up and she’s just so kind and sweet and beautiful and the realest thing rupert’s ever laid his eyes on. angel, he calls her, because that’s what she is to him. so of course he wants her. but that’s not all, because for the first time in forever, rupert has a reason, a push to want to be better. have you noticed how every time taggie is upset about something that happened or something he did, he immediately does everything he can to make up for it? It’s because before her, he didn’t care—or didn’t want to care—about hurting people or doing the wrong thing. but taggie makes him want to be good. for her. for himself. he is fully aware of his feelings for this young woman he cannot keep his eyes off, and when he seeks out cameron again it’s purely because he thinks he can never have taggie…but try as he might, he’s not able to move on. and taggie??? her mother considers her an idiot, her father considers her a little girl, she’s trying to find out what her place is, where she fits in, and rupert is the only person in her life that is completely encouraging and who believes in her potential (see how he compliments both her cooking and says she’s good with the campaign). he’s the only person who sees she’s twisting herself every which way to make everyone happy, and he’s the first to tell her she doesn’t have to be perfect all the time. and she’s fascinated, obviously, but it’s more than that. It’s rupert being silly to make her laugh, it’s her face falling when she realizes he has yet again been with another woman, it’s her anger when she finds out declan told rupert not to touch her. but they gravitate towards each other, because they’ve come into each other lives at exactly the right time. gosh season 2 cannot come fast enough
#sorry for the long post I just have so many feelings#I love when dynamics are so complicated ughh#rivals#rivals disney+#taggie o'hara#rupert campbell black#taggie x rupert#angelblack

During a case many years ago, a witch made a poppet (roughly equivalent to the popular conception of a “voodoo doll”) of Edwin. They defeated the witch soundly and got the poppet, but there’s no safe way to destroy it. The only place Edwin and Charles trust as safe enough to keep it is inside Charles’s backpack, where no one but Charles could possibly get to it.
Charles largely forgets about it, buried deep deep down in the bag, until Edwin is held captive, less than a year after their jaunt to Hell, and there’s absolutely no way to get to him until the portal opens again at the next full moon, and he’s going crazy with worry, imagining Edwin in all sorts of misery without Charles not even able to so much as comfort him. He’s digging mindlessly through the bag when he gets to the poppet, and, he realizes, there is this one thing he can do.
He pulls it out with a care he wouldn’t give to a Faberge egg, because this is the most precious thing in the world, in any world, and looks at it for a moment. Then he reaches out ever so gently and strokes its hair. He murmurs reassurances to it - it’s alright, I’m sorry, I love you. He sings lullabies, curls around it and hugs it against him so, so carefully, tilts his head down and presses kisses to its soft curl-covered head.
He doesn’t let the poppet go for even a moment on all the days until the full moon returns, even as he’s preparing for battle, preparing to absolutely fucking obliterate the bastards that are holding Edwin.
Just as the portal opens, he finally places the poppet back in his bag, in the safest, warmest corner. He hefts the arsenal in his arms and strapped to his back and floating around him and charges through.
He tears through the stronghold in minutes, and he does literally mean through - he’s left a trail of smoking rubble behind him where ghost-proof walls used to be - and finally, finally gets to Edwin, and -
“Ah, Charles, there you are. Not to worry, I’m quite alright. There has been some sort of force - “
Charles doesn’t even hear him as he wraps himself around Edwin, and his body follows the same motions it has for weeks now, stroking hair, pressing kisses, murmuring muffled you’re alright I love you you’re alright I’m sorry I love you I’m sorrys into Edwin’s hair, which is even softer in reality than on the poppet, and Edwin says -
“Ah. That was you.”
Charles can’t see or hear anything other than Edwin, at the moment, but he can’t not see Edwin, so he has a very clear view as Edwin reaches his arms out and, with a few words, takes control of all the magical weapons and orbs and so forth that have been trailing after Charles.
And he hears when Edwin says “Well, then, Charles, shall we depart?”
And he feels it when Edwin lifts him as effortlessly as he lifted the poppet, holding him so he can keep his nose buried against Edwin’s neck as Edwin blasts his way out.
And he definitely feels it when, a few very loud minutes later, they’re back in their office, and Edwin’s head turns to meet one of his kisses.
“It’s alright, Charles. I’m sorry I left you alone. I love you.”
#dead boy detectives#payneland#mine#this was originally intended to go in a very different direction#my first thought was Charles and Edwin having each other’s poppers because who else would they trust like that#then I was thinking Charles has Edwin’s and for some reason Edwin lies about it working#the first time Charles tries to comfort him at a distance with it#so Charles goes ‘well if he can’t feel it anyway no need to hold back’#and every time he feels love for Edwin he lavishes it on the poppet#but the emotional dynamics that would be required for both of them to#keep quiet in this scenario#were too complicated for a tumblr post#so. here’s this

season 1 tao's "once you get into a relationship, friendships don't matter anymore" vs season 2 charlie writing "charlie ♡ tao" on the heart locket + "wait, isn't that for you and nick?" "no."
sorry yeah I'm just lil emotional over the portrayal of platonic love as something that can be just as worthy as romantic love. i'm okay.
#my heart melted at this scene actually. their friendship is so important to me#also i love tao's complicated relationship with romantic vs platonic dynamics and what's expected of them#tao xu#charlie spring#heartstopper#heartstopper season 2#heartstopper spoilers#heartstopper tv#heartstopper netflix#william gao#joe locke#heartstopper s2#also charlie's 'no' was so gutteral i had to rewind and check that it was a real sound 😭

I can’t stop thinking about Siffrin and Loop as the knife’s edge between self-love and self-hatred.
To realize that there is a part of you that no one will ever recognize. That you can be so violent towards yourself and so compassionate, that there is a world where you destroyed everything you ever loved and a world where you were saved. To look at yourself and see that you have changed, are changing, every moment of every day, but some things remain the same. To know that you can try to kill the person you once were, but they won’t ever go away. Not really.
To find happiness and solace while knowing that there is still a part of you, somewhere, that is broken and lonely and unreachable, that may not ever know that kind of peace. At the same time, to feel like the people around you love some other version of yourself, someone brighter and better, someone you will always feel disconnected from. In both cases, to resent that broken part of you, that better version of yourself.
To discover, too late, that you can’t do this alone. You need people, certainly. You need people who care about you, who will look for you when you are lost, who will reach out to you in darkness. But even more so, you need the ability to call for help, to guide your people towards you. You need the will to save yourself.
And calling for help is an act of love. And regretting your mistakes is an act of love. And despising the things that have caused you pain is an act of love. It is looking out at the world, eyes narrowed, hands balled into fists, and believing, deep down, that you don’t deserve to suffer. And love is fierce, violent, and destructive. And love begets violence. And there is such a thin boundary between love and hate.
Loop loved Siffrin, and hated him. Siffrin loved Loop, and hated them. As they both loved and hated themselves. As they loved and hated themself.
And looking at your own reflection, at the wrong you have done, and offering forgiveness? Refusing, in the end, to continue to harm yourself? Acknowledging the role you played in your own suffering, and understanding that this does not invalidate the pain you felt back then? The pain you will always feel?
That is an act of love.
That is an act of love.
#first time doing an ISAT analysis#this game changed me#hm I hope this is decent#I really want to do justice by these characters but I projected so hard onto Sif that analysis is a bit tricky#anyway i love them#their entire dynamic#complicated self love and self loathing I adore you#in stars and time#isat siffrin#in stars and time siffrin#isat loop#in stars and time loop#isat spoilers#in stars and time spoilers#madbard rambles

it makes me want to tear my hair out when someone mentions that platonic relationships need to have sexual/romantic undertones to be interesting. friendships that blur the lines between romantic and platonic is great, friendships that have sexual relations are great, any kind of friendship is great. but these days im seeing this awful thought of "friendship needs to not be strictly platonic to be interesting and platonic" and people don't realise that this is just "friendships are less important than romantic/sexual relationship" in a different font. im very intense about my friends and each of my relationship with them is different than the other. one of my best friends is also almost like my partner. another one of my best friend is just my best friend. there is nothing romantic or sexual orientation whatever between us. i love both of them dearly and one relationship here is not more important than the other to me. i smile so wide my face hurts when i see her walking towards me. we used to live a few streets away and yet everytime i saw her i used to run to go embrace her. i have seen them in their lowest and they have seen me in mine. i do not want to kiss her on the lips or make her my girlfriend. the thought has never crossed my mind. but she has saved my life multiple times. she is a part of my soul. she is my friend. and if you say "yeah, that's what i mean, that emotion and its intensity is inherently romantic!" then that means you haven't experienced the height of love and care friendship can offer and im so sorry for your loss. also you are subscribing into the inherently harmful thought of "everything that is intense and meaningful is romantic". like my wonderful friend vik once said, "they're not my just anything. they're my friends."
#while we're all here i just wanted to say#both “applying a pre-conceived template over the top of every relationship without perceiving them as interesting dynamics that can be stra#and “saying every meaningful friendship needs to be more than just platonic is bad” can and should coexist#jolts upright. you see sometimes not everything has to be complicated. simple is good and beautiful too#you don't need to be 'weird' and 'strange' to be valid or interesting#a friendship does not contain multitudes because it is a mixture of platonic/romantic/sexual. it contains multitudes because of the people#who cares for each other so deeply with no other rhyme or reason than "i love you. under this endless sky in this stupid world i love you-#“and want to be stupid with you. let's go get burgers today. did you know that i would die for you?”#AND IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN PLATONIC! HOW CRAZY IS THAT#and if you think that's boring then. idk what to tell you man#maybe you just hate whimsy#what matters more in this world than your friends?#life may suck but at least there's this guy you befriended over books that would burn the world down for you#vi talks#friendship

I don’t know why, maybe because I’ve been on a Garp kick lately.
But I do really think that Garp kind of became like a surrogate Uncle to the Roger boys and by extension Mihawk. Like I can just imagine Roger telling them that if they were ever separated from the crew or if something ever happened to him or Ray and they needed help they should go to Garp (I mean he entrusted his own baby to him it makes sense he’d also entrust his boys)
(for whatever reason Mihawk got this talk too despite him already traveling by himself and not being officially part of Rogers crew. But since Ray adopted him he’s Roger’s brat as well)
All this to say that Garp takes his uncle duties very seriously and what is an uncle if not an inconvenience and an embarrassment?
So Ofcourse he pulls up to Kuriagina during the timeskip (Hawain shirt and all) to visit his new grand babies (read Perona and Zoro) that he’s heard so much about. (read shanks immediately gossiped with him abou mt after stumbling upon them last time he came to visit Mihawk)
And because Garp is essentially the one piece equivalent of Florida man, this goes well for absolutely nobody
Except Zoro who is nothing if not a troll. And game must recognize game.
The monkeys love him tho, he communicates with them on a wavelength nobody can quite understand least of all Garp.
#have been very obsessed with the idea of garp going out of his way to troll Mihawk lately#I just think their dynamic would be amazing#Mihawk immediately calls and tells Shanks if he ever catches sight of him again he will take his other arm#Shanks of course thinks this is adorable#I love the idea that Garp just somehow collected all the little baby pirates from Roger’s era#Mihawk becomes a warlord and garp immediately starts parading him around marine headquarters#as the only one of his hell brood to be actually become a law abiding citizen#and the rest of the marines have to stand there like that isn’t the actual marine hunter#to new recruits and low level marines garp lore goes crazy#throwing thoughts to the void#one piece#dracule mihawk#this is my official petition for Garp to be a memeber of the goth fam#I love complicated family ties#hawkeye mihawk#mishanks#gol d roger#monkey d garp#monkey d. garp#roronoa zoro#zoro#Perona#goth fam#one piece goth family#goth family#one piece marines#silvers rayleigh#akagami no shanks#buggy the clown#garp the fist

I've noticed there's a whole subgenre of Danny Phantom fics that will have Jack and Maddie be bad parents and I hate it since it feels like a a disservice to their characters. The two aren't perfect by any means and they make plenty of mistakes, but they love their kids more than anything else with them more than willing to risk their own lives to protect them. This is also why I've never vibed with fics that have Danny's parents rejecting or disowning Danny due to being half-ghost because for them to do something like that would be incredibly out of character. Hell, the show has several instances in which when they do learn Danny's secret, they don't love him any less with them fully accepting him.
#pedanti liveblog#Danny Phantom#Danny Fenton#Jazz Fenton#Jack Fenton#Maddie Fenton#I love episodes that just focus#on the familial bond of the#Fenton family#They're dynamic is messy#and complicated#and not always easy#but they all love each other#more then anything else

it’s so interesting how we see mycroft care about sherlock, he even verbally confirms it many times and during the recording from their childhood we see little sherlock hugging mycroft and mycroft loving that memory, mycroft also tells sherlock he’ll always be there for him, but when sherlock gets shot the mycroft in his mind palace is mean, belittles him and tells him he’s stupid and i think that’s how he sees himself, he thinks mycroft hates him and he sees himself as lesser than him, mycroft is the clever one and sherlock is not, however in tfp when sherlock has to choose who to kill he actually hears mycroft say these awful things to him, that sherlock is an idiot, that he’s always despised him, however this time sherlock sees straight through the bullshit because he just saw mycroft in a different light, he saw him scared and he saw him make a huge mistake and regret it, sherlock even told mycroft that he’s beginning to think he’s not so clever after all, perhaps for the first time he saw the humanity in his brother and saw him as an equal
#say whatever you want about tfp#but this moment was incredible#i love complicated family dynamics#the fact that sherlock never believed that mycroft cared about him#because he didn’t care about himself#sherlock#bbc sherlock#sherlock holmes#mycroft#mycroft holmes
