#I’m really that predictable

[bitchypuppy1986]

My friend sent this to me and I thought he posted a screenshot of our chats for a moment

here we have a classic example of a submissive speaking in their native tongue. this particular phrase translates roughly to "that was really hot, please keep talking to me like that"

I firmly believe that Kabru is autistic but masks so hard that he’s convinced himself and (almost) everyone around him that he’s neurotypical.

That man’s special interest is people and how they work, but he just thinks it’s him Being So Good At Socializing — like he doesn’t spend 95% of his time people watching and adjusting his personality in response to the traits he witnesses and obsessing over the intricacies of human interaction while mapping an ever growing relationship chart in his head. For fun. He even admits it in the manga!

Like, look at him!!!

It’s such a shame that — because he’s the narrative foil to Laios and his interest is generally considered more “socially acceptable” in both their world and our own — more people don’t realize this about him. He’s constantly misinterpreted as a horribly manipulative person who only acts the way he does to use the people around him, when that’s explicitly shown to not be the case at all. Kabru is naturally empathetic and is almost always thinking about other people, regardless of whether or not they’re right there with him or a thousand miles away.

I mean, his most defining motivation is his desire to do everything he can to avoid another tragedy like the one at Utaya. Someone who doesn’t care wouldn’t have a goal like that, and they most certainly wouldn’t go about it the way he does. He’s constantly working to help people who can help everyone else and tries so hard to make sure that anyone who seems like a threat is actually someone he needs to worry about before doing anything about it. His supposed aversion to Laios is only because of the ridiculous trolley problem he’s set up in his own head.

Outside of that, he (rather justifiably) hates monsters but is desperate to understand Laios’ love for them and his apparently most selfish goal in getting close to the guy was literally just to become friends with him.

When he’s interacting with the canaries and they imply that they’re going to take him and all of his friends to the West, his first thought is of Rin and how much she’d hate to be stuck in the place that gave her so many bad memories.

He helps Kuro learn Common when Mickbell is asleep and firmly looks forward to the day that the half-foot and Kuro can communicate properly so that their relationship can get properly started without any miscommunication.

And he understands Mithrun with only a handful of weeks AT BEST interacting with him, getting enraged when the elf seems to give up and immediately trying to help him find a new motivation for life.

I’m excited just thinking about the day that Kabru starts unmasking more and more around his friends — both new and old — because if being with my current friend group has taught me anything, it’s that hanging out with anyone so unabashedly themselves is bound to make you more comfortable with yourself too. It’s part of the reason why I like Labru so much! There’s something nice about imagining them hanging out in the throne room or laying in the grass outside and talking for hours on end about their special interests. They might not strictly understand what the other finds so fascinating about monsters or people, but they can grasp that shared feeling of love.

They probably influence each other in really good ways too, with Kabru helping Laios figure out what people are thinking even when it doesn’t make sense or Laios helping Kabru understand that not everyone and everything needs to be analyzed a thousand times over. They both get to learn that there are people like them and people who will love them without them ever having to change a thing about themselves. They deserve to know that they’re fine the way they are.

Every time I’ve seen some entitled guy on Twitter this morning complain “maybe you should check in on what your FANS want” or say “glad to see the death of CR in real time, you’re shitting on your fans!” I grow more happy with CR for daring to be bold and do something unexpected and hope they are more quietly hostile to those fans and their entitlement, tbh.

Okay but the thing about veilguard reviews is I don’t care what the gaming review sites think. I especially don’t care what some random ytuber who’s probably just grifting right wing nutjobs for easy money and has never actually played the games before thinks. I don’t even care what an unrelated but accomplished rpg dev thinks

The only opinions I want to hear are from 7 trustworthy sickos (affectionate) who had their brain chemistry permanently altered over a decade ago by critically hated yet loved by me specifically video game Dragon Age 2, and only after I hear those opinions will I decide if I’m buying it or not

I haven’t been seeing enough Queen of the Baz house: Ms. Farah Baz so I’ve come to provide

[embv]

I think everyone’s subscribing to the “Helena Infiltration Theory” WAYY too quickly. I kinda feel like a lot of the oddities in the way she was acting could be chalked up to something else, and defaulting to “that’s not Helly” feels a lot like… I don’t know, like brushing off character flaws by saying, “No, [X] is possessed! That’s not actually them!”

I’d probably buy into it a bit more if she didn’t have that moment in the halls with Mark where she fervently said, “We’re not the same, actually. Us and the outies, we’re not.”

There are reasons why Helly would want to lie about her identity, and chief among them is the fact that she hates her outie—desperately wants to place distance between them, desperately wants to convince herself that the person she saw wasn’t her.

But there are compelling reasons for both angles, and I can’t say that I won’t be scanning future episodes for hints to either prove or disprove this, so… cheers, 🥂.

watching “gay” media in 2012: ughhh i hope my precious little cinnamon roll does something a little limp wristed in this episode. i hope when a minor character accuses them of being gay in a way that’s nearly classifiable as a hate crime they don’t vehemently deny it this time!

watching gay media in 2023: ughhhh i hope i get to see blorbo from my shows getting spitroasted and fucked sideways from sunday and getting his balls tickled and getting it total sloppy wet style

They’re not going to rebuild Castle Byers because Will can’t rebuild his childhood, which is the reason he destroyed Castle Byers in the first place. He’d been trying to hold on to a level of carefree ignorance that no longer existed for him. The problems Castle Byers saved him from have been replaced by new problems that are bigger and stronger than a child’s fort. He needs to face them differently. Thank you and goodnight

have you heard the new the jjk sub va’s audio on tiktok? it was recorded at an event recently

gojo (to the first year trio) : do you guys wanna hear about the dream i had last night?

nobara: no one asked man, stop getting involved in our conversations

gojo: *UGLY crying*

i was rereading liar liar for the hundredth time and i was instantly reminded of that when i came across this scene:

"i don't want to do this," he said, leaning over to grab it and slide it towards the end of the table where he stood with an eraser in his hand. 

he pressed it against the drawing, letting out false sobs of despair with each swipe, loud enough to draw the attention of the rest of the class. it was ugly, drawn-out, and extremely sonorous. you regarded him with a look of disgust; megumi slouched in his seat, as though that would conceal him from the onlookers; nobara pressed a hand to her forehead, head bent and gaze averted; yuji watched satoru without shame, apparently still his biggest cheerleader.

"okay you can stop now," you added, when it became crystal clear that satoru would go on and on just for the sake of someone finally addressing his shameless acting. you would rather die than have it continue. 

he grinned, radiating self-assured pride as he addressed your little group.

you got gojo’s character down perfectly that you ended up basically predicting that audio 😭

liar, liar masterlist here:

i have heard that audio recently 👀

and i mean… what can i say?

when you live with the man for so many years, you know the ins and outs of his behaviour so well, you can replicate it in a make-belief story 🤭

on a serious note, that last part of ur ask is the sweetest thing ever 😫

i actually didn’t think of my story when i heard the audio, i just thought it was so funny the way he was ugly crying 😭 like that’s so him

but my ego’s literally soaring rn — wdym i PREDICTED his character so well? 😋😫🫶🏽

Professor Aesop Sharp (fl. 1890) was a wizard, who worked as an Auror for the British Ministry of Magic and later a Potions Master at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 19th century.  [He] had a gruff and keenly acute nature, was not easily impressed by his students, and was a difficult taskmaster. Although he was wholly unwilling to suffer fools in his class, he was by no means entirely unreasonable in his methods, as he was known to take genuine pride in students who excelled in his class in spite of his challenging curriculum.

MINT HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT ROPE MF WINNING THE SC!!! AND HOW TWO WADDLE DEES DOMINATE THE BRACKETS LMAO 🎤

Flabbergasted.

BY ONE POINT TOO?!?!

LIKE WHO’S THE LAST GUY WHO VOTED IM CURIOUS?

Like if I’m being honest here, I expected Rope MF to get absolutely eaten alive when I tossed him into the tournament

The goal was to get a few laughs with Rope MF through his existence and propaganda and then probably be forgotten in the third round or something

NOT GO AND WIN THE ENTIRE SECOND CHANCE BRACKET

Like I’m so proud of my rope-loving son, freak, and other terms of endearment I can put in here.

————————————————————————

THE WADDLE WIN IS KINDA CRAZY!

Congrats to Starstuck Dee btw!!!

I’m going to refer to this post

But the fact the that Starstruck and Rope MF were the ones to represent the waddle dees is really funny to me

One of them got lost on their way to the tournament

and the other one probably didn't process the fact that he was in the tournament

It’s also very sweet that these two waddle dees who are seen as outcast

Somehow manage to find love and support in this fun little tournament

I have no good way to transition to this

but here’s a mini doodle for the two winners

Okay okay here’s a more serious DRs2p2 bingo that I’ve actually taken a bit of time to consider with what I think it more or less likely to happen for real.

If I don’t get a full bingo I will krill myself

(I’m willing to answer any questions y’all might have on my predictions too in case someone wants to know)

[frascospecimen]

Ok here’s some of these characters I’ve been working on. Each based off of albums

[buddiebitch]

WHY are BT shippers so vehemently against actually analyzing the symbolism and choices made for this show?

i mean i saw multiple people saying we were overthinking the vertigo poster. they were saying that it was weird to assume that Buck would fill the pining best friend role that Midge did in the original movie??? (haven’t seen the movie, i just read a few synopses)

i’m sorry, so you agree that he put Ryan Guzman in the main character and Devin Kelley as the love interest because they’ll fill those roles in the storyline, but we’re overthinking when we point out what role he put Oliver Stark in?

or when i bring up the possible symbolism of Tommy always calling him Evan, the only response i get from BT stans is “well he would tell him if he didn’t like it” or “i think it’s because he was introduced that way and that’s why” or even “i think he probably likes that Tommy calls him Evan” (all real responses i saw) and it’s like, yeah that’s cool, those are great headcanons for you, but that actually isn’t what i was talking about. nothing wrong with having a headcanon, but it doesn’t explain anything about the show or answer any of my questions.

i mean in s4 he corrected his PARENTS and told them his name was Buck, and in s6 it was used to emphasize the strangeness of his coma dream, how everyone was calling him Evan, the whole show him being called Evan has almost always been used to emphasize that someone doesn’t know him very well, how are y’all convinced that it’ll mean something different this time? i get that some people think it’s supposed to be growth, that he’s cool with being called his first name, but if that’s the goal it definitely isn’t reading that way to me.

like i wish i could see things through the same lens as these people so it could make sense to me, i just don’t get how you can willfully ignore SO many hints just so you can ship what you want.

no hate to the ship or the shippers obviously, i’m just baffled by the lengths they’ll go to in order to convince themselves that plot device man is endgame for Buck.

did the new mh episode imply that toralei has the possibility of liking men….?
