If it’s true what they say

I’ll be on my way

But who are they to say

What the truth is anyway?

‘Cause the ones who tell the lies

Are the solemnest to swear

And the ones who load the dice

Always say the toss is fair

And the ones who deal the cards

Are the ones who take the tricks

With their hands over their hearts

While we play the game they fix

#I believe if there is still a will then there is still a way #i believe that with each other we are stronger than we know #I believe we are stronger than they know #i believe we are many #i believe they are few #and it isn’t for the few to tell the many what to do #is it true what they say?#hadestown #orpheus #if it’s true #fuck I love this song

Hi it's just to let you know that the official romanization of Revaan's name is Raverne ! Also they have romanized Baul's name to Baur !

Twst coming back at us again with the least expected romanization! thank you everybody (oh god my inbox) (no it's great, I literally asked for this and the reactions have been INCREDIBLE, thank you all!)

I do like Raverne though, I think it's got a nice fancy sound to it! (I had kinda suspected it was going to be an R instead of an L, so the fact that it's SO close to Laverne except for that is hilarious to me personally.) and Dragoneye Duke is honestly probably the best translation for his title, I wasn't envying the localizers that one. :') Baur instead of Baul I was NOT expecting, but in retrospect I think his name's supposed to be a reference to the Bauru crocodile, so that actually makes way more sense!

someone else also said Meleanor has become Maleanor, which is the REALLY weird one to me, because I was so surprised it was written as Mel instead of Mal in the first place?! oh god no I can't decide which one I like better. 😭 (I wonder if they might change it to Mal...they have made romanization changes before) (like I remember House of Distraction being corrected to House of Destruction in Playful Land) (I did check and she's still Mel for now, but I dunno, they might Mal her up and some point and save me from having to make a decision about which one to use) (HECK I CAN'T DECIDE)

uhhhh thank you for letting me ramble about anime names, let's just say MONOGRAMMED SWEATERS FOR EVERYONE

#twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 spoilers #twisted wonderland episode 7 part 4 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 7 part 4 spoilers #mel is so cute but mal fits with the rest of the draconias better #eng version no you were supposed to save me not make things MORE confusing #anyway raverne huh #that uh. that sure feels like it's supposed to evoke raven doesn't it.#what does it mean WHAT DOES IT MEAN #hold on i'm going to flail around embarrassingly about anime character theories now #(okay first a disclaimer: i do think we need to sit down as a fandom at some point)#(and have a discussion about exactly what is actual canon versus meta speculation versus jokes)#(because i think there has been. some confusion. over that re:crowley and raverne specifically)#(but i do feel justified in being like THEY ARE PROBABLY CONNECTED SOMEHOW RIGHT?! right now)#like i really don't think it's as simple as crowley being raverne but with memory loss or something #(and if they pull that on us i'm going to need an EXTREMELY good explanation to go with it to justify that)#they've gone out of their way several times now to make a point about them acting and sounding different and it feels very intentional to m #(and once again: i super 100% absolutely do not believe that lilia wouldn't recognize him with the top half of his face covered)#i just think the contradictions are a lot stronger than the connections right now but there ARE some connections and i'm 👀ing at them #to be fair the connections are mostly meta like crowley being diablo/raverne being evocative of raven #also the general 'raverne mysteriously disappeared and apparently had distinctive eyes' thing #versus 'crowley's past is unknown and he never shows his eyes'#(i will argue that crowley DOES seem to have some kind of canon connection to briar valley)#(since he is clearly some sort of fae and the masks are a briar valley thing)#and that is kinda it right now isn't it #okay hold on i had to delete some tags because i used too many (thanks tumblr for letting me know and not just vanishing them OH WAIT)#so tl;dr: i'm in the 'crowley is connected to raverne somehow but it's more complicated than just him being in disguise' camp personally #but that will probably change as we get more info and also don't take this as an anti-speculation thing because i love theories HOORAY

When you're one of the most selfish mc who only saves people because it's part of a job you never wanted and did not get to chose or you would've died, who took your co-workers' morals and ideals because you didn't have any and desperately wanted to fit in somewhere, be it with the heroes or the villains, who's activelly haunted by one the most tragic past to have been created and suffer from a psychosis so bad (dare I say schizophrenia) that even your enemies acknowledged that you are mentally ill and objectively flawed in your judgement, never hesitated to try to kill anyone and has the most egoistic reason to be a good person but the fandom still thinks you're just a kind crybaby "I don't know what a gun is" homosexual twink.

#him being refered as an angel by Shibuzawa is FUCKING IRONIC !!#ASAGIRI IS ALWAYS IRONIC WHEN IT COMES TO LIGHT NOVELS CENTERED AROUND ATSUSHI #Ex : The plot of 55min being parallele to the Decay of Angels arc #He's also called the Man-eating tiger and yes I do think that Dazai lied to him when he said he never ate anyone to preserve his psyche #and was also called “the man who can see the future” and has time travelled with Akutagawa like why aren't we talking about that #his relationship with Mori is also actually good #Mori is one if not the only character who saved and helped Atsushi during their first meeting and kept good contacts with him #because yes Atsushi has seen Mori knowing that he was the pm boss off-screen and they had a normal exchange #I also think that Shibuzawa Atsushi and Fyodor are connected to a form of Holy Trinity #Believer/God/Angel or Messenger #Joseph/Jesus/Mary #or Fyodor and Atsushi as Jesus and Judas #but the instance of trinity in bsd are dare I say extreme #Oda/Ango/Dazai #Sigma/Fyodor/Nikolai #Atsushi/Akutagawa/Kyoka #and so on #and the whole situation around his ability which is unlike any other #It turns him into Byakko (her own being) (similar to Natsume) and nullify his wounds no matter how lethal (similar to Dazai and Yosano)#and enhance him even with his ability off making him constantly stronger than other characters and dare I say equal to the hunting dogs #yk the MODIFIED humans #and the plot of both 55mins and Dead Apple being around abilities and giving us Atsushi lore make me think that Atsushi and Byakko are 1/2 #probably a sort of higher being since some abilities are very religious centered (how Fyodor sees abilities and Shibuzawa) 2/2 #but I think it would lend toward a “sinner” position which would be crazy because that Atsushi would then probably be the reason why Fyodor #hates abilities so much if Atsushi and Byakko are somehow be connected to the “sin” of abilities #and so you guys know Atsushi's orphanage was a church so yes he's related to christianity #and the Decay of Angels is LITTERALY full of religious people to different degrees #and it would be ironic (once again) if the antagonists were the “Angels” and the protagonist a demon #I just realized that I did a lot of typos sorry I got too excited #but yeah keep calling bsd bad written (we're on barely chap.115 no good manga was finished by chap.115 guys just wait for the rest to drop)

Thinking of making small drawstring bags so I can fill them full of talismans/trinkets that represent my friends. I’m very reliant on many people simply because I’m lonely and insecure, so I think that having a physical representation of people and things that I can touch might make me feel closer to them + guided. Obviously I’d ask them first because I feel like it’s a very personal thing

I have a bunch of fabric scraps and some sewing knowledge, so making the bags wouldn’t be the issue. It’d be figuring out what to put in them!! And sourcing stuff!! Is it less genuine if I ask the person the bag is based on for ideas? Or does that make it more genuine? Might do a separate poll for that

#gayseball’s original posts #brandon’s text #polls #I am a very spiritual person even though I do not talk about it that much #I believe in special connections between humans (and objects)#call me new age. whatever. but there is a cosmic linkage out there between certain people and places and things #I am cosmically linked to varying degrees with everyone I know. that’s how it works #some bonds are stronger than others even if we aren’t close. that’s what the bag is for #so I can feel like the cosmic bond is fulfilled without annoying the shit out of the people I love

2x21 "crisis" really is a perfect episode

#mash #i cannot BELIEVE the plot of this episode was really it's cold and we need to snuggle for warmth #the supply line got cut off so we need communal sleepovers for Morale Reasons #it's PERFECT!#i just know frank is that kid who's like 'can we please be quiet and go to sleep'#frank thinks they're gonna get in trouble if they're too loud #i'm going to finish s2 today and i really enjoyed it overall!#i think it's stronger than s1 (understandably) and the episodes have more rewatchability #however on the other hand there episodes like for want of a boot and as you were that feel like all set up and no payoff #similarly dear dad 3 didn't really feel committed to the epistolary format and didn't do anything interesting or meaningful with it #also bc i am a person who loves spoilers and context i know what happens to henry so every passing episode i am filled with dread #that's my DAD what do you MEAN he's gonna get shot down over the sea of japan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#also mclean stevenson is giving possibly my favourite performance. he's just Saying things by accident #not one word in his mouth has ever been there on purpose he is possessed by the spirit of your dumbest uncle #i'm still lukewarm on trapper. the vulture instinct i feel on account of him looking like buddy the elf has settled #i no longer want to tear that man to shreds out of primal rage i only wish he'd get his own plot & a more distinct personality #those are all my thoughts rn #i have to bribe myself with the Very Special Gay Episode so i can finish this cover letter #id in alt text

there's a black label blue beetle book in my head that will not ever ever leave now i don't think

#copious amounts of body horror are why black label #but like. i have an opening scene in my head right. pretty aged up from current canon. the reach starts a new invasion on a day that just #so happens to coincide with milagros quince años. the gls go to deal with it and because someone else is handling it #jaime refuses to leave. because it's his sisters quince he can't leave that. but then the reach activate some kind of plan that is supposed #to remotely take control of the scarabs. but because khaji is broken it doesn't quite 100% work. but it works enough that jaime and khaji #start to lose control a little bit. or more than a little bit. but still enough control to try and get out of the party to not hurt anyone #(especially to avoid hurting milagro) but wouldn't you know the reach are much stronger than they were last time. one of the lanterns falls #and the ring makes its way right on over to the party #green lantern!milagro #because i've seen a lot of posts of that and now i'm obsessed. but the first thing she has to do as a lantern is try and get jaime back #and also fight him. because he is mostly not in control #but he ends up getting away still fighting the reach for control. guy gardener (followed the ring) gets there and sees the tail end of this #and he knows that now he's gotta help fix this. and call boostle #things are going spectacular /s. by the time we next see jaime he is simply. not there. it's just khaji in charge. milagro tries to reason #but khaji will not tell her what exactly is going on beyond that jaime is safer this way. she does not believe him at all #and then other stuff happens but this is getting long for tags lol. should i main tag this? probably not but i'm feeling brave #jaime reyes #this is all inspired by a bunch of tumblr posts i saw

Putting some respect on my man Kakashi’s name.

It’s canon that while the sharingan had its advantages it was a huge drain on Kakashi.

It’s also stated in his book that he got stronger than his war arc self, being able to hold a mud wall jutsu on his own for three days. A feat that was so impressive the enemy shinobi he faced believed he HAD to be multiple people to manage it.

#you can say the books arn’t canon all you want #whatever #but they’re the only place where his strength post war is talked about #everyone who says he got weaker without the sharingan is pulling bs out of their asses #there is zero proof of these words #and to be clear this one ‘ONE OF the strongest’#not the strongest #obviously Kakashi is not the strongest #Hashirama and Naruto are god tier shinobi #no one is beating them #but we have no reason to believe that hiruzen minato tsunade or tobirama are stronger than Kakashi or even Each other #we know dick all about minato and tobirama’s actual stats #it’s very possible Tobirama was genius af at making things and not that great at actually fighting without the flying raijin #and Tsunade’s stats are 35 which is the same as orochimaru’s #so i don’t know why people act like she’s weak when she has better stats then hiruzen (as does Kakashi)

everyone asks.....where's Makoto..... but nobody asks........HOW'S Makoto

#ooc ramblings.#this is like half a joke but very few people in DR canon actually ask him how he's doing and are instead like bro you can't give up on hope #i still think the coolest progression for his character (and a natural one) would have been him to fight because he PERSONALLY #CARES. that's always been a stronger motivator for him than the idea of hope Komaeda and the fanbase takes around #he cares so so so so so much about the people around him and in his life man #Makoto is also the only main DR protag who is locked into the dichotomy at the end of his story and that kinda sucks since everyone #else got their moment #D.R3 really should have been longer. imo despair arc can be completely cut because we didn't need to know the exact process #a strength of D.R's writing is that it presents these absurd and awful disasters that sound impossible like the Tragedy but it #avoids the question of ''how'' because the result is more important here to what the story is trying to communicate #at least back in D.R1 I mean. they go more into the lore and backstory in DR2 #Junko outright refusing to explain how the Tragedy happened back in DR1 because the others wouldn't believe her anyway was an EXCELLENT #writing choice. because it's true!

#been thinking about genetics and nature vs nurture and all this sort of stuff a lot lately #and just contemplating why people are the way they are and how much is sort of hardwired vs learned etc.#anyway I'm definitely wayyyy more like my dad than my mom and i think i have actually learned to become sort of the ideal companion #for people like my mom #because my mom is the harder to please and stronger personality in the household who is way more obviously emotional and sensitive #and i empathized with her automatically in a sort of female solidarity way as the household is all boys otherwise #but anyway i know im just naturally like my dad in disposition and humour and looks and everything else but i also know i probably studied #how he handles my mom and her outbursts and insecurities and learned to react to it similarly to him as well #she's a very odd mix of one of the most empathetic kindest people you'll ever meet and also incredibly critical and sensitive to criticism #and she barely ever will tell you you did a good job at anything and will point out mostly only the bad stuff or flaws in whatever you do #yet also HATES that her own mom is exactly the same way and was traumatized by that growing up herself #i honestly 100% believe her mom (my grandma) is undiagnosed autistic and simply doesnt even realize how she comes off but it really #affected my mom growing up and now she is constantly on alert for anything that could possibly be a critique of her and will throw you #under the bus instead if you ever say something even remotely close to negative about her or arent extremely thoughtful about showing up #to the multiple events she hosts every single week #anyway the way my dad usually reacts is just being extremely quiet and steady and dry humoured in reaction to this and when she starts #critiquing him and bringing up all his past failures as a way of making herself feel better about her own bad self esteem he kind of just #takes it and doesnt take it personally because he knows shes doing it for low self esteem reasons #even though its not really fair to him and she would absolutely hate anybody doing the same to her #when i think of my dad's gentle quietness and humour and how much he hates being aggressive or critical i think of when we played a #board game called qwelf once and in the game he was made to act like a drill sergeant and scold and yell at all of us as we moved #our pieces around the board and the best he could do was to mutter stuff like 'get your buns in gear there soldier!'#it makes me lol to remember it my god he simply can't it's the most unnatural thing for him in the world #anyway i always wonder how much of my similarities to him are just genes and how much are learning from him #by watching and admiring and mimicking #because having nieces shows me that kids are absolutely little sponges who try to do everything they see you doing without even knowing #if it's a good thing to be mimicking or not and that can be a bit of a terrifying responsibility as the adult #i am glad i learned good coping mechanisms from dad and how to handle unfair criticism and lack of praise in stride as well but #something i had to teach myself as an adult was how to have healthy boundaries and be assertive when i feel like im being treated poorly #because my parents are both huge people pleasers who struggle with it themselves

feel free to ignore this if you feel like it's too personal, but i just wanted to say that reading some of the posts you've made about your relationship with your mother has really like. helped? in a weird way? bc i know everyone's experience is different but my mum has always treated me as if i'm somehow fundamentally bad in a way my siblings aren't, and it can be so so hard to cope with feeling like the one person who is meant to know you best is convinced that you're actually a terrible person. so reading your posts where you mention something sort of similar to that (not exactly the same but near enough) is really really reassuring bc i've been following you for ages and you seem like a really sweet and protective person and it's like (weirdly) 'okay, if other people have that experience too maybe it's not just me and maybe i'm not the worst, actually' lol

this is actually such a touching ask to receive! to date my relationship with my mum is the most complicated relationship ive ever had with a person and i honestly wholeheartedly believe that will never change even if i have a family. she's such a complex, tortured woman and she has such a temper and she's said such awful things to me, but we're also complete mirrors of each other. growing up my mum recurringly says she thought she was 'mad and bad' - that's a phrase of hers she uses a lot. mad and bad and here i am feeling all those things she felt and it's heartbreaking because oftentimes she's the reason i feel that way, or i feel that way and she makes me feel worse. im constantly torn between guilt and shame and anger, or love so strong i cry over it. it's taken me a long time to accept i will always feel these emotions for my mother and through it she's my favourite person in the world as well as the person who can hurt me worse than anyone, and knowing you're not alone in that, that it doesn't make you a bad child to acknowledge these things, is really reassuring so thank you x

#even answering this ask made me feel guilty bc me and my mum have been getting on really well atm #and when we're getting on we get on so well like idc if it's biased i do genuinely believe we have a stronger connection than most #but god she just gets so angry and even when we get on i cant just forget the things she's said to me #she spent the entirety of my first year of uni making me feel like i was a fundamentally cold person who was bad at loving #and coming from the person who - like you said - is supposed to know me better than anyone it killed me to hear #and it's something im going to spend possibly the rest of my life insecure about even though she's not said it in months #it's so unfair and i hate myself for holding onto things and then i get angry at her for expecting me to let them go #she has no idea how much i value her opinion like i WANT to impress her and make her proud #im killing myself over this economics degree and i didnt HAVE to do it but i knew it would make her happy so i did #bc the thought of doing a degree that disappointed her (at a time when my sister was doing great) terrified me #idk relationships between mothers and children are such landmines #there's resentment and rage there but there's so so much love #ask

transmeds would probably call me a trender despite the fact that I am legally, hormonally, and mentally a Trans Man because I have long hair and painted nails and enjoy wearing colours, I de and retransitioned more than once. and also I don't really care about being called invalid or a trender by one of my own who's too afraid to be kind.

governments and politicians are trying to eradicate us the world over and your concern is another trans person being mean to you and saying you're not valid? I think we have bigger fish to fry. and on the flip side some bitter, lonely kid who rightfully fears not making it past 18, is making up rules for how to be trans and talking about it on their blog because the whole world is telling them they're wrong and they're desperate to find a way to make it right. I obviously don't find it tasteful but that person is not our enemy.

anyway the true threat to the trans community is those who are trying to eradicate us, our supporters, and our safe spaces. we'll have time to argue with the Blair Whites and accept the apologies of the Storm Ryans - but only if we aren't legally forcibly detransitioned, groups disbanded, and the internet sterilized to a point where we can't find each other again. I would rather have a cohort of angry trans people who don't get along than to be alone.

#sorry y'all. I've been around the block a few times #I just don't believe that ostracizing any trans person for any reason is something that will help them or the cause #and as we know accusations and callouts can ruin lives especially transfeminine and POC can have IRL consequences #so. if you're mad someone in your same community was mean to you #let's use those community building skills and understand you still are in community with these people #we need each other.#say so when someone hurts you so we can make our community stronger. don't run to tumblr to gripe to strangers #do something and create the community you want then!!#create kind and expansive ways to say 'that hurt my feelings and I didn't appreciate that'#rather than creating a agab or gender presentation battle because you feel the need to fight to prove yourself valid #transmedicalism

I have no idea what's going on here but I am COMPLETELY drawn in, I want to know everything, I love both these characters, this is great.
