Hm...

Okay, brains thinking of Parentified Stan twins aaand heres what I got so far

- Shermie is 8ish years younger than the Stan twins and spent a LOT of time with his older brothers

- Ma and Pa Pines had to work a lot so most of the socializing, playing, and helping with Shermie fell onto the Stan twins

- Up until the month of the science fair Shermie saw Stan and Ford as his safe people [Ma was also a safe person but she had to do a lot to keep the house running and relied on the twins to help]

- As Stan and Ford get older the affects of having to help raise their little brother slowly take their toll on them

- Shermie has to watch his big brothers start to have quicker tempers and fights more often and not understanding why it seems like his brothers are aging backwards [they're not, they're just starting to actually act their age to untreated caregiver burnout]

- Science fair happens, stuff in canon happens but now add on the guilt of feeling like they failed Shermie and a couple age regression tendencies

- Flashforward to post-canon and Shermie, after a whole 'what you mean Stan's alive/Stan acted as Ford' debacle and a lot of tears Shermie sees his brothers trying to low-key parent him again

-Brothers gotta deal with a new dynamic and Shermie finally reveals how he felt seeing his brothers as mini parents to just his brothers and how he used to think them 'aging backwards' was his fault

- And Mabel learning about parentification at some point and diagnosing her grunkles

critical film studies (2x18) as an episode will never not be really really cool and plain brilliant to me because at the root of it,,, it's about two people trying to make the other happy and understand each other even when they feel like they're very different in their approaches to life

towards the end of it,,, Jeff is angry at Abed when he figures out that it wasn't a real conversation after all but I personally feel that this is the realest we see both of them being,,, in the sense that abed's reality to a huge extent is these movies because that's how he understands and contextualises his life and the things and the people that are in his life,,, while his story and "confessions" were fake the idea behind them wasn't (at least as far as I understand considering the way he takes over "characters" in so many episodes that alter the way he reacts to and with people),,, at the end of the day,,, he just wanted to be able to talk to Jeff the way he believes Jeff will be more receptive to it (a mature, "real" conversation wherein he's not being "weird") and spend some time with him considering they haven't been able to lately and he feels uncertain about their relationship

Jeff on the other hand, is having a real conversation for the first time on the show (real here being more in the sense of actually talking about things that happened in his life rather than focusing on deflecting and focusing on other peoples problems instead so that they forget he has them as well),, and all throughout its very visible how aware Jeff is of his ability to talk to people and around them in circles and persuade them to do the things that he wants but for the first time on the show it feels like he's not trying to do or be anything when he's talking (at least that's what I get out of it and assume to be a "real" conversation in this context) to Abed,,, which is why it's so heartbreaking to realise that it was based a movie in the end,,, because it felt like he finally had someone he could talk to about anything without being scared of being judged for it but it was technically,,, a lie

also,,, i love love love the amount of effort Jeff went through to make sure that Abed was happy and had a good birthday ,,,, the fact that Jeff went back to pay even after being technically lied to by Abed (in a major way) will never not be sweet and cool and fucking adorable in a heart clenching kind of way

also also,,, the fact that the life that Abed describes for Chad from Cougar Town is something that could be the way he imagines his life would be like were he to be "normal" is definitely something i headcanon (and the fact that Chad falls in love with his best friend I-)

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

masc!reader × divorced!price

Knowing John Price from outside of the military - fuckin hell, knowing him from a toddlers' group of all places. You had both joined at roughly the same time, and being the only dads there rather than mums, you quickly stuck by each other, becoming fast friends since the first session.

Turns out, he'd had a shitty divorce a few years ago, and, well - his sweet baby girl got caught up in all the middle of it. She was a tiny baby at the time, but the legal stuff regarding her in the divorce was messy and Price barely managed to see her at all; and then her mother had been arrested for something or other (he didn't like to talk about it) and he had gained full custody, and arrangements were made for her to stay with his family whilst he was on deployment.

Your story was entirely different. The kid was technically your sister's - but she had died shortly after childbirth, and with no partner and an awful relationship with your parents, the two of you had agreed beforehand that if anything happened, you would become the baby's legal carer. But you'd called the boy yours after only a few months, and that's all you ever introduced him as now. Your son.

The toddler group wasn't great for either you nor Price, to be honest. The kids loved the playtime, which was good - but the parent "teachings" that the leader held were mostly encouraging weird outdated shit that wasn't worth listening to, let alone enforcing. Not to mention the constant repetition of how a single parent is a "bad" parent, which you scoffed at every time. Good thing about it was how you and John could sit at one of your houses after and shit talk it over a coffee.

Was he hot? Sure. Yes. Absolutely. It was the very first thing you noticed about him. But more than that you were genuinely grateful to have a friend; another single dad to lean on, to finally start talking about your sister's death and all the guilt you felt with your son. Someone who would actually get it.

Price started to come around to yours almost every day, even when the toddlers' group was only once a week. He insisted it was nicer than his flat, and the kids had more space to play anyway. You never minded. He took you over to his parents' house, introducing you to them. They were quick to befriend you and your child, mentioning how you should visit John's daughter there when he's on deployment.

Deployment. Forgot about that.

You laugh and nod, thanking them before you leave. You take your son to a play park and sit on a bench, watching him and just thinking. It doesn't take long til you realise you're thinking less about your friend being all captain-y and more about his smile you've come to adore being wiped from his face. About him coming home and there being more scars on his hands and arms than before. 'Cause you fucking counted. Realising he might not come home at all.

You go to his flat the next day, awkward small talk as the kids go off to play. He can tell something's up. He asks if it was his parents. Fucking apologises as if he did something wrong. You sit him down on the sofa, and rest your head on his shoulder.

"Dunno what to do," you start, eyes flickering shut when he combs a comforting hand through your hair. "You're such a great man, John. Dunno what I'd do if you went."

He looks at you for a moment; you can feel his gaze. Tilts your chin up with a calloused finger and brushes his lips against yours. It takes a second or two to process what's happening - and then you're kissing him again, his jacket balled up in your fists as you hold him closer, suddenly realise this is what it was all along. The hot, slightly traumatised dad had tripped you up and you fell fuckin hard.

All too quickly and you're lowering him down against the sofa, and his hands are on your back, and your tongue is prodding impatiently at his lip. Then he opens his mouth and you almost seem to melt into it, a soft groan in his throat, and you're lying on top of him, and his legs are around your waist-

"I'm not complaining," you hum between kisses, "but how is making out gonna help?"

He breaks apart. Looks at you with a sort of dog-like curiosity, mulling over the question for a second. Then his hands snake up to rest in your hair, and he smiles his signature smile. "Don't know. Just thought I wanted to kiss you. Won't fix me goin' on deployment, but-" he glances away, a flush creeping up his neck, "thought... thought you might be somethin' to come back to, y'know?"

You chuckle quietly, pressing your lips to his blush. "You askin' me out, John?" He kisses you tenderly, shuffling to sit up a little, pulling you onto his lap facing him.

"If you'll take me."

And you don't even have to think about it. "'Course I will."

It's interesting to me how comparatively calm qPhilza's lore feels, especially in comparison to the heavy angst of qTubbo and qBad all coming to a boil last week/weekend. Like, our cubito is also experiencing personality changes, serious threats and foreshadowing that he may either die, be stolen away, or straight up possessed. The conversations with his eggs about death and what it means are happening. But the vibe is so gentle. The changes (for now) are subtle and quiet. So much happened in today's stream and some of it was deeply concerning and yet I'm despite the way he ended I came out of that feeling warm and cozy and wholesome.

Thinking about Jon and Martin and “I’d understand if you hate me right now.” and “What? No! Martin, I love you.”

Martin who has never known conflict and disagreement without resentment. Who’s mother looked at him only in disdain and hatred. Who’s father left when he was nine. Martin who is so sure that the man he loves would flip the tables 360 over an argument. Martin who definitely has abandonment issues that we don’t talk about enough.

Jon who doesn’t tell people how he feels. Who half the time doesn’t even know how he feels. Who grew up building walls and feigning skepticism. Jon who only ever said the words “I love you” to Martin and his cat (which, mind you, is very real of him). Jon who has spent years hiding from monsters and making decisions he never wanted to have to make, watching those he loved face the consequences beside him.

And how in the end, their love for one another juxtaposes many of the actions they perform on their own. They love each other so much that it changes their narrative. And in the end (just as they confessed to one another) that’s it. That’s the core of it. Their love.

They literally invented romance your honor. I hate them so much.

I've seen so many different interpretations of how Pim and Charlie may navigate their height differences, but they mostly fall into two categories: Charlie always helping Pim reach high places, and Pim being completely against help of any kind with reaching things. I think both could be true personally.

However- I raise you a third option.

Whenever Pim needs something high up he just. Climbs on Charlie to get to it. Charlie was incredibly confused the first time this happened, but now he doesn't react in the slightest

it’s been four months since December 2022 and I’m still not over the fact that Reigen was apparently so haunted by guilt from that one time in S2E2 where he scolded Mob for eating too many french fries that it showed up in the super emotionally charged eyecatcher montage during the series finale.

I wonder if reigen will ever find the closure he needs to free himself from the poltergeist of regret that obviously follows him around as a result of this incident. the confession incident really had reigen re-evaluating everything from the past three years.

I’m having so much fun reading all the meta for the first episode of 4 Minutes… I didn’t think I had anything to contribute but actually I do have one thing that keeps rattling in my brain…

I’ve seen a lot of people speculating on the relationship between Tonkla and Korn and what exactly it is that’s happening there, so I just wanted to throw my two cents into the ring!

How I am reading it is that Korn is the golden child, daddies boy as it were, so therefore hypothetically would need (particularly because his step mom seems a bit obsessed with image) an advantageous/auspicious (at least on the outside) marriage THEREFORE I would think it would be highly likely that his marriage, if not 100% arranged, would absolutely have to be given the blessing of his parents.

I say this because when his father called he didn’t say he was with Tonkla he said he was with Fasai, who is a woman if you go on MDL, and not only a woman but a woman who his father knows and who is connected enough with an uncle his father knows that lying and saying Fasai is having dinner with said uncle isn’t suspicious.

So here’s what I’m thinking:

1. Fasai is a girlfriend/ fiancée chosen/supported by Korns parents

2. Tonkla is an unfit partner for our golden boy either because of a lower class background or the fact he’s a man or both and so therefore Korn does not want him introduced to the family

3. So Tonkla is a side piece to Korns actual fiancée and is absolutely aware he is a side piece (I don’t think the doing it raw request was a test I just think it was wishful thinking on his part to go further I think they were in a relationship before the fiancée was in the picture and they did do it raw before but once fiancée arrived it became safe sex all the time) tho it’s an okay situation for him (he’s financially benefiting) he isn’t exactly happy having to share

3. I think the conflict will arise from Korn not wanting to take any steps forward to maybe not hide Tonkla away like some dirty little secret and Tonkla will get fed up and leave the whole situation.

Anyways… just my hypothesis, I’m very excited to see where this one goes!

Hair Clipping in Cycles

No one asked for this, but I figured I'd share because it's pretty helpful. So, in the pic below, you see Eve's got some fucked up hair. It looked perfectly fine in Eevee, but after switching over to Cycles, a bunch of ugly shadows showed up all over my girl's do.

To fix this, go to Edit mode, select all (press A), then press M. You'll see a menu pop up on the side, go to the last option 'By Distance.'

And there you go, no more shadows. In my case, I didn't have to mess around with the 'Merge Distance.' But sometimes you'll have to because Blender is weird and inconsistent. I'll usually enter 0.001, 0.002, etc. and keep moving up or down until it looks right.

how i think the Sherbs would react to becoming Quixis, in no particular order (pt1):

-Krit: i think they would like it. they would be sad and scared at first, but theyd be curious and happy that they could help out others and watch their lives. Krit just would be curious about the other Sherbs, who they are, how they live etc. still, they would be sad to be away from their family again, but at least they could watch over them and make sure they're safe, even if it would be nerve wracking at first to have such power and such responsibility

-Sherbert: they would like it too. its not like they have people to miss and nothing significant in their world would change without them. altho they wouldnt be as happy as Krit. watching over the Sherbs would be fun and interesting, yes, but their life being drained again, them not being able to fully live, being lonely away from the things.. it would just be a little too much

-Cedar: Cedar wouldnt be particularly unhappy, but they wouldnt be happy either. they would miss their shop, miss Azalea, worry about them both. they would be interested in the others lives and exploring their worlds, different types of potions they have would be interesting, but theyd feel a little too homesick. plus theyd probably have a bad start, as Caine would be very much happy to go back

-Caine: speaking of the guy. Caine would not be happy as Quixis. why would they help people who they dont even know? why would they be taken away from a place where they are fine and comfortable and its their house, which they know, where they have power and stability?

-Ripley: theyd be happy to see new things. have a corporeal form again. seeing all the worlds, exploring different universes, getting to know different lives and places, it would be very fun for them. and helping people out, would also be fun. i think theyd just chill, be happy with a change of enviorement

-Ashril: she would be glad. it would be an escape for him, both literally: from Castrel and metaphorically: from the world, as a break from all their worries. they would be interested in finding out stuff about the multiverse, finally doing some good in the world, or, worlds

-Sherwood: they would be worried at first, about being seperated from Heyraen, being away from their home. but theyd be very curious about the others lives, eventually growing to be a great Quixis. altho.. the homesickness would be strong, theyd miss Heyraen a lot and would be relieved to go back home

-Helix: they would be curious about the other Sherbs lives but i dont think they would enjoy being Quixis. its too much responsibility outside of their expertise, its not what theyre skilled at. and its a lot of preassure to have everyones lives in their hands. plus, explaining this to Fuble would be a mess, missing a long time of their life when they were supposed to be training to be a good captain

-Ajax: they wouldnt be a fan. it would finally be a constant in their life, but.. it wouldnt be what theyd want. he'd start to miss his friends, the fun they have, the rain, lightning, thunder. theyd miss the weather so much. it would become almost claustrophobic after a while, of course the Worldport is a big place, but its *just* the worldport. its infinite but its *all the same* theres no change, no difference, nowhere to go, its just repeating over and over and over and over- just like the events
