#I love venting in the tags

[rain-in-the-clouds]

So tomorrow, (hopefully in the morning... Me time I guess?) (genuinely not sure best way to say that) I'll be posting chapter 1/5 of the Tattoo!Artists! Choso x Painter!Dancer! Reader collage au. But before I pass out I wanted to share the mood playlist I made up. It's in no particular order, but I do think the vibes fit so well. It's gonna change but I hope yall get a lil kick outta it.

If you got suggestions do not hesitate to put it in the replys either, I love sharing 'character' mood music.

there are a lot of evil people in the world and a lot of darkness in the world and so it’s very important for me to stress that now more than ever is the time to spread kindness and compassion. combat the evil by not only not partaking in it, but actively refuting it. destroy the notion that being compassionate or generous or kind to someone is uncool or embarrassing or even scary. be the change you want to see. start a chain reaction. positivity only breeds more positivity. do an act of kindness for someone so that that person who is too afraid to do it themselves can see you, realize that they’re not alone, and perhaps sheepishly follow your example. and then the next person who is too afraid but sees that person can do the same. when bad news comes out about bad people or horrible atrocities in the world it’s such an easy impulse to despair, and obviously it’s important to feel what you need to feel. grieve. be angry. be sorrowful. be empathetic. but dust off your pants and get up and be a part of a chain reaction that, no matter how small the scale, and spread compassion and love and care. all the reasons why you might not—“it’s hard! it’s scary! people will make fun of me! it’s useless because there’s too much evil!” are all grade A arguments as to why you should. you have no idea how many people you could inspire to do the same. even if it doesn’t get you anyway far, you can at least say you have the nobility of trying. please choose love and please choose life. you are worth loving and you are worth inspiring others to love

The L Word

[your-local-granny]

okay before i forget. i've been trying to put my finger on why people saying phoenix and maya are 'sibling-coded' pisses me off so much and I think a big part of it is how important mia is to both their introduction and also the foundation of their relationship and how calling phoenix and maya 'siblings/sibling-coded' waters down all of their relationships

phoenix wishing that maya was mia is a very big part of maya's arc as well as a big sticking point in phoenix and maya's relationship. phoenix spends the majority of turnabout sisters wishing that 'the chief' was there and when maya fails to channel her he shows outward disappointment. this is something that maya obviously picks up on and internalizes as we see throughout the rest of the games. most notably maya shows remarkably little self-preservation, throwing herself at von Karma's taser and in contempt of court to help edgeworth (and by extent, phoenix). she openly admits to feeling useless when she can't channel mia and phoenix never refutes this out loud until he of course presents the bullet to her showing that she wasn't useless. phoenix is notably bad at expressing his thoughts/ and feelings so its honestly debatable whether this gets through to maya but thats neither here nor there

on the other side of it, maya wishes that phoenix would be the caring adult figure that she was missing for most of her life (and especially after mia dies) and phoenix does not do a great job of being that figure. he likes her sure, and they're good friends, but he's definitely not nurturing or sensitive whenever maya is in distress. at the end of turnabout sisters when mia tells maya to "take care of phoenix" for her, maya starts calling him nick (because that's what mia said phoenix's friend calls him) and their dynamic for the most part is solidified. maya is not able to find mia in phoenix and accepts him as his own person and a part of her life as a friend.

phoenix has a more complicated journey with viewing maya as her own person partially because of the whole spirit-channeling thing, and partially because maya is younger than both the chief and himself. phoenix is constantly looking to a mentor for guidance and feels out of his depth for most of the cases in the trilogy. he frequently wishes that mia could be there, and is shown to value maya's ideas less, or at the least question them more at face-value. nevertheless, by the second game phoenix relies on maya greatly as shown with how he copes (or fails to cope) with her absence in rfta and 2-4, and 3-5. phoenix views her as both an integral part of his life and support structure, but also views her as someone he has to put on a brave face for, much like pearls. maya is phoenix's young friend that he leans on and wishes to protect.

maya's love for her sister is a core theme that spans the entire trilogy and culminates in maya almost dying in 3-5. phoenix's love for mia is a constant driving force that pushes him past what he believed himself capable of, and encourages him to trust those who become those closest to him. phoenix and maya's relationship is colored by their own relationships to mia, and how they view each others relationship with mia. they both represent a part of her that they never knew as well as a part of her they can keep loving in her place after she is gone, but most importantly, neither of them will ever be mia. no one else can be maya's big sister and no one else can be phoenix's mentor. they meet each other as two strangers set adrift by the same lost mooring, and though they'll never be secure in the way they were before meeting each other, they have a friend to help keep themselves afloat.

i don't think the people i know understand just how much i love people. humanity, i fear, will always forever be in my mind. i tell myself that i was made to be on the aroace spectrum, so that i could love the world. but it always seems to circle back to humanity, to people. life's best and cruelest gift to me. born to love, but not always in the right way.

[momozilliness]

guys this is a really wild and insane and bizarre idea but what if (hear me out) we all got together and shared harm reduction tips for mia and treated it with the same romanticization as ana instead of just being all 'ohmigod dont do that' :00

This is me putting out a desperate plea for someone to write BuckTommy mpreg with Tommy instead.

Please. I’m begging someone to break up the monotony of my dash. I don’t have time to do it all myself.

(doodle) my house just got flooded and i kinda cried and started acting emotional so to cope with this struggle i am now theorizing that Lilia's cottage gets flooded once in a while when theres an extremely heavy storm☝🌧🌧🌧

(im pretty sure lilias cottage is not those expensively well made ones and theyre near a river so it kinda makes sense it gets flooded once in a while lol)

lilia and silver works together to sweep the floor and clear out the mud or fix any ceiling leaks most of the time (Malleus rarely visit, Sebek's house is too far away) (although Lilia can easily magic away all these problems but he cant cuz he gotta minimize his magic consumption if he still wants to cast lots of magic for 10 more years)

This is also one of the reasons why Malleus returns to the cottage other than for spending time with Silver, Lilia, and Sebek, he is their cottage repairman lol

i do know that Lilia wont cry about this, i just want Lilia to cry about poor housing facilities like the grown up fae he is ✨✨✨✨
