#I’m just thinking out loud

[frownyalfred]

not to make everything about a/b/o (again) but I was thinking about the typical Martha and Thomas death scenes, and the one in BVS would be so much sadder if you added the lens of a/b/o to it?

some thoughts:

Chill shot Thomas first not just because he got in front of them, but because shooting an omega/pup would send an alpha into a rage so violent Chill would never have survived intact

Shooting Thomas wouldn’t have kept him down fully, but wounding Martha (his omega) would have split his attention, badly

Bruce’s last scent of his father is the acrid smell of pain and alpha aggression

Martha died trying to touch Bruce and Thomas, covered in blood. Did she manage to brush her fingers against Bruce? If she scented him, she left her dying scent on him. Literally trailing death down Bruce’s cheek or neck.

Bruce’s pup instincts would encourage him to curl up close with them and hide until the threat was gone. And that’s how the cops found him — they thought he was dead too, covered in blood and the scent of death.

Alfred lost two pack bonds in one night. As pack beta, it must have nearly driven him insane. No pack alpha, no omega. Just a shivering pup and him.

sometimes it’s crazy to stomach that simon DID THAT. he got THE crown prince of sweden begging screaming n crying over him just to love him back.

“Are you angry with me?”

“I don’t want you to be angry with me”

“I don’t wanna lose you”

“you r the only one that i feel i can talk to”

“what can i do? please simon”

“august is next in line, i can be free from these n be with you”

Simon wtf man?! what type of black magic did u cast on wilhelm dudeeeeee he even threatened the royal court bc YOU WENT ON A DATE WITH A LOSER THAT WAS NOT HIM (wille here is a loser but a better loser, he is simon’s loser but he would never want ever to lose simon so he tried to be a keeper but oftentimes failed bc he is a loser… skwhksjwjshsjs ignore this) i mean… THE prince of sweden was willingly with all his body and heart gave up the throne for you… like… girl you got some serious game right there!!!

AND AFTER SIMON SAID

“i wanna be with you”

“i love you”

THE prince of sweden literally CAME OUT TO THE WORLD, istg at that time he just didn’t care abt anything anymore, he alr got what he needed which is simon n then just like that

“i was me in the video, it was me and simon. it was a moment that i don’t wnna share with the public, i was scared so i lied”

"good for youuuu! you've finally gotten yourself a role!" you know what? I hate this. I HATE THEM. sukuna is not wrong cause even though yuuji has an invincible soul he still has this cog mentality. HE STILL NEEDS A ROLE in his life to play to feel worthy… and I think right now the only person who can challenge this self-destructive mindset and maybe as a result show him the error of his ways (wishful thinking) is sukuna…

Separate Ways spoilers!!

God I’ve been thinking so much about Luis and the fire scene right?? But part of me thinks he ran in so blindly because part of him wishes he could have done that to save his grandfather?? Obviously he was just a boy back then and his grandfather was infected anyway so he was pretty powerless to help, but now he’s an adult he feels he can change that by charging in to save his research despite knowing it’s almost futile? PLUS the fact he gets there and the suppressant had been destroyed by the fire anyway? Idk just a lot of parallels to draw with Luis and things he cares about getting destroyed by fire

I feel like a lot of people forget that people with NPD actually think very poorly of themselves, in reality. One of the reasons NPD can develop is as a response to low self-esteem, or a lack of positive affirmation otherwise.

I think my favorite thing about Tumblr is the tags.

The unhinged side thoughts, how feral, shady or sweet they can be. There are no rules for Tags and I love it.

I don’t reread the first book that often anymore, not because I don’t want to but because I’ve had it for so long that the pages are starting to fall out 🧍and that’s scary, so it always escapes me but… Man, Digger had a whole character arc left completely unsaid, huh. I can’t even use the first book to dig deeper (pun unintended) than that because he’s in complete hysteria the whole time. It makes me wanna try though.

Like, the first thing we’re introduced to about him is his unshakeable determination, but anything that can connect that to his philosophical nature later on is left to speculation because he’s…. His brother just… got cannibalized….. and his parents were killed…. and he can’t even stay in the desert if he wants to survive…. Like he’s going through it yeah,

can’t wait to make a warden who romances Emmrich who can comfort him using the “we can both enjoy our limited time together”

Now I’m debating if I grit my teeth and finish DAO and then restart my DA2 playthrough just for the satisfaction of continuity

has anyone done a P5 shuake slay the princess au yet? All the different versions of them through all the loops… all the different masks… I just think it’d be real neat

I’m getting closer and closer to Elpis, and to Hali meeting Hermes in the MSQ, and I am thinking about Hermes and Urania (Hali’s Azem) once again. I’m not sure what exactly I want to do, and how much angst and complications I want to add into Urania’s story.

I definitely want there to be something with Urania and Hermes that mirrors Hali’s story, in particular that Hali decides to be brave and to tell Aymeric her true feelings, to want love and to be loved, to have something outside of just her duty as a Scion and as a Warrior of Light, which will be different from what her past self had done.

What exactly that is, I’m not sure. I keep flip flopping on it and I don’t know if my personal feelings are getting in the way or not. Ehhhhhh, maybe it’s just “sad Ancient man makes me feel things”, who knows.

I understand the concept of the ‘country humans’ thing but I guess I just don’t understand…it… know what I mean? They don’t have faces they are flags on stick people. I don’t understand how people want to have sex with them. They’ll be like omg America is so hot. And it is a flag with a cow boy hat on. At least when we say hetalia characters are attractive they look like anime boys and have personalities that are preset. I guess idk why you would bother with it when hetalia is like right freaking there.

I think there are gonna be people that if no particular announcement happens at the Osaka show they will just decide the band is over forever that’s the last of it and I encourage you to have more faith, foundations of decay dropped randomly on a fucking Thursday in May just because they don’t do something at the most grand time for an announcement doesn’t mean one isn’t coming

yu ziyuan will always have a special and complicated place in my heart.

you know, while i was reading the novel for the first time, i understood her so well. man, if my neglecting husband brought home a random child i would be annoyed. if my neglecting husband brought home the child of his long-life crush i’d be PISSED.

i think that she might not have hated wwx at first. from what i gather of chinese historical settings, she would have scorned wwx as a default, most likely, just because he was the protagonist and he needs to have the cinderella factor. but i don’t think she hated him at first…. not until she saw how blatantly her husband preferred him.

and this is what i find most painful, because jc and wwx got along well! they became friends, and then brothers, and they loved each other. so for yzy to hate wwx hurts me, it adds to the tragedy. i don’t know to what extent wwx would have been a real threat to jc’s position, especially without actually killing jc to replace him in the succession line. but to yzy, proud and accomplished as she was, to have her son ignored while her husband dotes on this other kid…. it makes her blood boil. not because her children are perfect, as she shows awareness of, but because they are their children. the children they legitimately made together. and jfm can like wwx as much as he wants, but he is not allowed to dislike his kids. that’s what yzy’s bitterness is about.

i have read some takes on yzy being hurt because she loved jfm and it was unrequited. and idk, i can’t see her loving a man who neglects her babies. i can see her wishing that they loved each other, and i can see her being sad that they have to fight a losing battle against the wens. i don’t think she would have been happy to see jfm die. but she just… must have had so much anger and bitterness inside her. and still, it’s not that easy to claim that she did or did not love her. seeing how jc operates, i can connect the dots for yzy having similar struggles to conciliate her love and anger for the same person.

ultimately, i still understand yzy. being in fandom has exposed me to many different takes:

yzy was an abuser to her husband

yzy was an abuser to her children

yzy exhibits typical asian drama parenting, and it isn’t abusive

yzy exhibits typical asian drama parenting, and it is abusive.

i don’t care much for which one is the correct one. we aren’t discussing a real person’s actions, and so whether she is or isn’t abusive doesn’t take away from my understanding her motivations and sympathizing with her. but what i’m getting at, is that wwx’s arrival to her family was an offense, and i see that. mdzs world doesn’t seem to have the concept of concubines when talking about sect leaders, and we know that jgs’s adultery was frowned upon. being that the case, bringing wwx into the family home, making him share living quarters with jc, being nice to him and noticeably kinder than he was to his own son… i see how yzy was worried about wwx replacing jc. i don’t think jfm would have been able to do it, not with wcz being the official father. it would have opened an old can of worms, disputing fatherhood to a dead man.

but! that doesn’t mean that yzy can’t be scared of the possibility. as they say, chances of dying in a giraffe attack are low, but never zero.

and yzy is undeniably cool af. i wish she had survived the novel, i wanted to see more of her.

So many people I’d love to follow back, but I need posts to be tagged so I can filter out the things I don’t want to see. If I don’t follow back, 9 times out of 10 it’s for this reason.

my controversial opinion is that from a musical standpoint I don’t feel like the mountain goats is all that remarkable. like is john darnielle’s music bad? no. do I appreciate and enjoy a lot of his art? yeah. are his lyrics beautiful examples of poetry in themselves? definitely. but a great deal of his discography feels more like poetry set to guitar than it does music. like, as a composer, I don’t really ever experience the urge to listen to the mountain goats because there’s not all that much to listen to. it’s basically poetry. and I don’t disrespect that, I just don’t think it’s all that remarkable or revolutionary
