#I needed this out of my head

[lover-of-mine]

no, love is never logical...

[spammynegrutou]

I've had so much Riku brain rot these past few days and oh my god I've been thinking about him being in love. Doesn't matter the ship, Sora, Naminé, Kairi, Xion, Roxas or even a freaking OC—

Riku has this casual romanticism to him. I feel it in my bones. He'll lay down his jacket for a girl who wants to sit in the sand with him. He'll warm up your hands in his just cause you're cold. It doesn't matter, it's all casual and it's weirdly romantic. He does it cause he's your friend, and maybe possibly probably has a crush on you.

I'm so tired of reading headcanons that Riku doesn't think about love. His whole arc was about the importance of bonds and committing to them. He moved heaven and earth for Sora and you think he doesn't THINK ABOUT LOVE??????????????

I'm sorry the Riku rot is real. I need to calm down. I feel obligated to write about this in some sort of scenario.

Help I can’t stop thinking about a chronically ill transmasc Dean Winchester.

In my head, he will periodically have these spells where he gets really lightheaded and nauseous and cold. It’s not just like a little cold, it’s like chilled-to-the-bone cold. No matter what he does, he can’t stop shivering, and when it gets really bad, his limbs jerk and his teeth chatter. Now as an adult, he knows that feeling cold is his tell for when he isn’t feeling well. He takes it as a sign that he needs to go slower or to chug his Liquid IV.

Maybe the first few times, John took Dean and his illness seriously. The three of them were preparing for a funeral for some hunter, and as he’s going into the shower, he passes out. He’d been complaining of feeling strange long before that, but John hadn’t wanted to listen at first. Upon finding his son though, he cancels his plans and rushes a 7 year old Dean to the hospital, with Sammy in tow. And despite the bloodwork and the brain scan, no one has any answers. Inevitably, it happens again, and after a couple similar visits, John starts to dismiss Dean’s problem unless the boy is passing out in front of him again. It’s always gone away before, right? Just go to bed, quit your whining.

When Dean starts to get his period, the shame of it nearly consumes him. This is a way that he was different from his father and brother, and he couldn’t help but feel like the blood he found in his underwear was also staining his hands somehow. But to make matters worse, his episodes come back tenfold during that week. There were so many times where he was incapacitated for the most of that time, plagued by intense vertigo and sometimes vomiting. The focus of his chronic illness shifted, at least with Dean’s brother and father. It became a “woman thing” and that made it some sort of inconvenience to them. It doesn’t help that during this time, he was still expected to care for Sammy to the best of his ability. John would be furious if his little brother wasn’t cared for, even when he was doing his best with their limited food and money.

By the time Dean starts transitioning, John is not in his life anymore. They have a falling out, and the young man decides to go out on his own. For a while, he considers himself to be a different person than the one who had been so weak and helpless and sick earlier in his life. The testosterone gel he uses eventually takes away his periods, and he begins to pass out and feel unwell less and less. As his condition improves, doesn’t want to remember the horrors of his past, so he shoves them down. He parties and has fun, enjoying his new life as the person he’s been all along—Dean.

Somehow, Dean and Sam reconnect and become part of each others lives in a big way for a brief amount of time. Maybe Sam needs a place to stay the summer between his last year of undergrad and graduate school. The gender change is a shock, but Sam recovers pretty quickly. It hadn’t been like his older brother had been the most girlie person he’d known, and Sam can tell that he’s more himself than maybe ever. Dean is in his mid twenties now, and he is having a hard time running from his past when the baby brother he’s been forced to care for his whole life is in his grown up space. Of course he’s happy to see his little brother, but even with the trans thing aside, it’s hard. One day over breakfast, Sam asks, “do you ever pass out anymore, or have you outgrown that?”

This sends Dean into a spiral because he’s forgotten about that whole weird thing that had happened. Of course, it still didn’t make a whole lot of sense to him—it hadn’t at the time either—but he decides to just take this information at face value: he used to pass out sometimes, but that was behind him now.

Dean is approaching thirty when the symptoms come back again. In the meantime, he and Castiel met. They began dating, then moved in together. At this point, the two of them have been living together for three years. Dean has just gotten over being ill a couple of weeks ago when the bone-rattling cold comes back. There was very little warning, and he and Castiel had been eating dinner. They had to stop so that Dean could lie down. The violent shaking made Castiel concerned, and he pleaded with Dean to let him take him to a doctor. Dean refused, remembering vaguely that he’d been here before and that he would be okay probably. As he predicted, it passed.

As months passed after that time at dinner, Dean found himself feeling more frequently unwell again. He hadn’t passed out again, but the shaking was ramped up. He began to feel a little disoriented when it happened, too. Castiel encouraged him to see a doctor, and they began the process of narrowing down what the cause was. In the meantime, they figure out that LiquidIV takes his symptoms down a notch, and he begins hoarding the stuff. Despite the fact that things feel out of his control, begins to be able to manage what is happening to him to an extent now.

There’s something about losing someone very close to you that is deeply and profoundly isolating. I lost my best friend six years ago today. And when people find out, they reach out to you and ask what they can do and offer support and sympathy. But no one ever knows what to say. What could you possibly say that could in any way make anything better. The interaction is so painfully awkward, but one by one, everyone you’ve ever known shows up to do it anyway. Even the other people who are grieving can’t really relate. We all lost someone different. I lost my friend, but others lost their daughter, sister, fiancee. She was someone different to all of us. We all miss her in different ways. And even now, six years later, I feel that isolation again. I have a different life. I’ve grown and changed so much I’m nearly unrecognizable from the person who was her best friend. And I wonder who she would have been if given the chance to get older than 22. There will always be a part of me that is alone because she isn’t with me anymore.

ppl dont talk about the fact that even Daisuke's characterization is affected by Jimmy's unreliable perspective. He refers to Daisuke as a spoiled rich kid who has his mommy and daddy behind him, that he's impressionable and stupid, and i do see people kinda characterizing him like that

like he has these rich parents who will dote on him and give him everything, that he's an airhead who isn't good at anything...

yet in curly's perspective we see that he's good at board games, he's trying his best, he's trying to listen to swansea and learn from him. He did get the internship from his parents but not because he wanted to, but because his parents thought he wasn't going anywhere in life, that he needed to be doing something. Daisuke is silly and a positive person but that's just for show, we see in the scene where Jimmy finds him lying on the floor drunk on mouthwash, that Daisuke isn't doing well, he's scared and feels sad about his parents. He makes jokes to cope with the horrible tension on the ship.

people characterize him as a stupid little kid too much for my liking, that's how Jimmy sees him. As a spoiled brat who came on the ship just to be an inconvenience. Even Swansea didn't see him like that, sure he complained about him but in Daisuke's final moments we see Swansea's true colors and how much he actually cares for him. He's an adult, who's putting on this happy go-lucky persona because he truly wants to succeed in life, and he's doing the internship for his mom and dad even though he doesn't want to. So he makes friends, he tries his best, he wants to be on the good side of everyone on the ship.

Jimmy just saw him as an easy target, someone too trusting and easily manipulated. A stupid kid he can use to get what he wants. He even plays with Daisuke's feelings of needing validation from Swansea, someone he looks up to. He tells Daisuke that by going in the vent, he'd make Swansea proud.

Daisuke isn't someone who has it easy or someone who's a stupid airhead. Jimmy just saw kindness and positivity as weakness.

Hey y'all. A bit of a more serious topic to get onto this morning with the tiktok ban around the corner and all. This is probably going to be much bigger than some people make it out to be.

A lot of folks are deleting anything by Meta from their devices in response to this. I think this is a great idea as those apps steal more data than tiktok. But I want to implore people who have deleted Meta/Facebook not to redownload it after this is all over. Let it rot.

Shareholders have supposedly bought up stocks from Meta now that their value has nose dived. What this means is once people start using it again, it's value increases, and so does the money with it, making the rich richer.

It is extremely important, especially now with Inauguration in a few days, that you don't let them have that money back. This is inside trading and how they get more money without losing much to begin with. If we are going face first into an Oligarchy for the next 4 years, make it hurt them.

It takes 30 days to delete a Facebook account. Just wait and see the value drop again once profiles actually start going black. Choke out their flow of finances and leave them to starve. Going to RedNote and deleting apps like Facebook is causing ripples. Keep at it. Make them sweat.
