I love how whenever I see people discuss wyllstarion, in the context of "justifying" why one ships it, there's always that of why Astarion would love Wyll, extensively; bringing up that Astarion said he used to dream of marrying men like Wyll, or that Astarion said wants to feed off of Wyll, or that Astarion would want someone chivalrous and kind who would put his needs first and who would respect his boundaries and his past. Astarion is the fave white boy and so he's shipped with many different people, and this is how people who ship wyllstarion express why he'd choose Wyll. But I almost never see extensive explanation of why Wyll would love Astarion, because of course he would. Of course he'd love Astarion.
#THIS IS JUST AN OBSERVATION oh strangers on the internet NOT an ANALYSIS. I'm smarter than this.#Also check my reblog for more explanation bc I think ppl are misunderstanding lol#Sorry not to post about gay boys on main but I think about them a lot#Shadowzel are my faves I promise this was just on my mind#More in tags if you'd like to read them#Wyllstarion#wyll ravengard#astarion#Bg3#baldur's gate 3#baldurs gate 3#bg3 wyll#bg3 astarion#astarion x wyll#wyll x astarion#Something something Wyll loves as easy as breathing and Astarion doesn't need to breathe but he still does#The reasons why Astarion clings to what he does and wanting Wyll who would keep fighting to hold onto what he loves#And Wyll holds on like it's second nature. Like he thinks it's his only choice.#The duality of people needing to explain why Astarion would love Wyll#while also acknowledging that Astarion wouldn't accept that Wyll loves him back without enough reasons#In fics Astarion needing Wyll to spell it all out for him while people acknowledge in discussion that Wyll just loves him. Of course he doe#there's obviously more to the appeal of them than just this of course#Wyll being the monster hunter who fell for a monster#Astarion having been soulless under cazador's control and technically heartless because his doesn't beat#but Wyll's does so freely#like of course Wyll would love Astarion. kind gentle gracious too-forgiving-for-his-own-good respectful loving Wyll#but astarion needs convincing that he has anything worth loving#and wyll would do it#he'd want to do it#Wyll finding no fault in anyone but himself and Astarion snapping him out of it with his no-nonsense ways

So, I broke down and made a meme version of this post.

(Alt/cleaner ver under the cut)

#sonic the hedgehog#sonic movie#knuckles the echidna#knuckles whipple#sonic wachowski#tom wachowski#maddie wachowski#tails the fox#miles tails prower#sonic movie 2#knuckles 2024#knuckles series#fandom wank#the prev post I linked goes a bit more in detail if you'd like to read it (the kind of detail that doesn't really fit in a meme like this)#My big assertion in the tags of my previous post was that Sonic fandom operates in such a way where if expectations for canon aren't#explicitly conformed to then the loud fandom tends to twist the narrative to prove that the new bits of that canon actually do conform to#their interpretation#The fandom likes to interpret Knuckles and Tails as Wachowski kids and Sonic's brothers. The knuckles series has them call each other#roommates but doesn't explicitly confirm all of their nuclear family fantasies#Ergo‚ everything after episode 1 should be ignored. And even though this series has no troubles making explicitly clear which characters are#in nuclear family (or other types) with each other#and even though there's nothing stopping paramount or sega from having them explicitly be called Sonic's siblings#the loud fandom must take it upon themselves to decide that perceived ambiguity is confirmation#Oh and before you ask about my thoughts on Maddie calling Knuckles her son in one scene just. Read the post I linked.

silverv drabbles #7
a/n: taking a break from the brain-erosive essay i have to finish to post this sexual tension/angst/"we're arguing like a shriveled up married couple" snippet I wrote a few days ago bc they're my meowmeows and I love when they have sexually charged screaming contests with each other <333
warnings: angst, aggressive arguing, Johnny being our favorite toxic boyfriend (it's a joke pls don't come for me)
V stormed into her Megabuilding H10 apartment, tossing her Second Conflict jacket off with disdain. Johnny’s eyes followed it as it dropped to the floor, rolling his eyes. Ah, shit, here we go again.
“I'm not your little fuckin’ girlfriend, Johnny!”
His mouth gaped, letting out an incredulous huff before his hands settled on his hips. “Who the fuck said you were?” His head shook in disbelief before shifting his weight to the other leg with a sneer. “Even I wouldn't stoop so low to bone some ‘Saka bitch. Still got a moral compass, y’know.”
She was furiously fiddling with a crystal decanter of scotch on the counter, finally managing to pour a sizable amount into a glass and turning to him with a fierce raise of her voice. The alcohol swayed dangerously back and forth as she motioned, a few drops splattering away from their confines and onto the carpet. “FUCK you and FUCK your compass! Matter of fact,” she held her hands up, taking a hearty sip. Exhaled. And glared at him again with renewed fervor, “I'm this close to sticking it so far up your ass you start singing in Japanese when it comes out the other side.”
He couldn't even find a witty retort, simply glaring daggers at her as she stomped in his direction, trying his best to ignore the infuriatingly sexy sound of her heels clacking against the floor and suppress a laugh. Shit, he lo- …maybe liked her humour. A little. Barely.
She aimed a manicured finger at his chest, holding it over his heart like a blade ready to strike. His skin prickled in anticipation right where it almost grazed him. “You're the one getting ridiculously jealous anytime I so much as breathe next to another man!”
He wanted to laugh in her face, but they both widened their eyes at the shared emotion that went through them. Another man. Like Honourable Prince Corpo, Mister “Under Other Circumstances”, her knight in shining armor? Like Mister Goody Two Shoes beat cop who was so disgustingly infatuated with her it made him sick - not to mention - fine, it pissed him the fuck off.
“I can literally feel you seething, you FUCKING GONK!”
“Holy fuck, V - do me a favor and just SHUT the FUCK. UP! Man, can you quit your bitchin' for a single fuckin’ second?”
“Thought you loved it when bitches screamed at you! What, mommy didn't give you enough goodnight kisses?”
“Why, wanna do something about that? Just askin’, seein’ as you insist on wearing that red fucking lipstick that drives me up the wall every damn day! Been thinkin’ it’d look great on my-”
“UGH, Johnny! You're SO disgusting! Stop. Talking.”
“Mind gettin’ your claws off my bicep, then? You're gropin’ me like a starved cougar.”
She let out a noise of disgust and immediately retreated once the realization hit her, whipping her hand as if to flick his germs off of her, crossing her arms in front of her chest. That was… unsettling. Neither of them had realized just how close they had gotten to each other during their yelling contest. Truthfully, she had grown much too used to his presence. She’d also rather go back to Arasaka before confessing that she’d lately begun to even… crave it. V downed the rest of her liquor before slamming the glass back down.
“You’re delusional, and pathetic. Have you maybe considered that not every woman wants to play with your egocentric, easily excitable little weiner?”
“No, I haven’t, cause every woman and her fuckin’ boyfriend wanna take my magnificent Rottweiler out for a walk. And please, spare me the bullshit. Real big talk, comin’ from the bitch who got all wet when some BD spinner made her a fuckin’ sandwich. I ain’t no Prince Charming, but that was just sad. Tell me you got some semblance of TLC from a single gonk your entire life? There’s gotta be more than what I’ve seen in your past.”
The words were out before he had the time to think them over, immediately wishing he’d swallowed them, watching memories twist her face with heartbreak. He cussed under his breath, trying to reach a hand out when she balled her fists so hard her knuckles turned white. The delay of the pain as her nails sharply dug into her palm only furthered his descent into regret.
“V, I didn’t-” “Yeah, Johnny, there was a single person who showed me true love, and it wasn’t your superficial type bullshit. We weren’t fuckin’, it was never romantic. He was my fucking friend. My brother. Maybe you’d know somethin’ about that if you hadn’t ruined the life all the people who actually considered you one, like that poor fuckin’ bastard Kerry. I feel more and more sorry for him every day.”
He knew he shouldn’t, but he snarled. “Keep him out of it-” “Yeah? Like you keep Jackie outta your fuckin’ mouth? Every chance you get, you shove him, or Goro, or River, or fuckin’ Jenkins, hope that bastard’s rotting in hell, right in my face! Fuck’s sake, I’m not one of your little groupies, you insensitive, selfish asshole! And you know what? Even they had fuckin’ feelings that you trampled all over, just like you’ve done with every single person who ever gave a single shit about you. Just like you did with Rogue and just like you did-” “V, don’t-” “With Alt.”
Johnny acted before his - her - oh, who fuckin’ cares - their? brain, or the Relic, or CPU, or whatever the fuck had time to process it. Overtaken with anger, just like when they first met, he marched up to her and slammed her into the wall behind her by the shoulders, baring his teeth with aggression.
“What is it you want from me, huh? Want me to say I fucked up? Want me to admit I’m just a piece of shit? Think you can boss me around like all the cucks back at ‘Saka? Worse, think I’m your little choom? That we’re close? Let me tell you somethin’, V. You don’t know the first fuckin’ thing about me. The only reason I haven’t taken over your gonk fuckin’ brain is ‘cause I was still hopin’ you’d be useful. Well, turns out, I was wrong.”
She didn’t so much as flinch. Valerie’s expression was blank; the emptiness in her eyes reminded him much more of what she used to be like before she’d met Jackie. Johnny recalled - in the worst moment - feeling glad that they hadn’t met when she was still at ‘Saka, ‘cause that would’ve been a universe where they were guaranteed to kill each-other in cold blood.
When she spoke, her voice was steady, calculated. Distant. “You done?”
She shoved him off without so much as a glance. Johnny scoffed, shoving his hands in his pockets as he paced away. “Yeah. Sure. We’re done.”
Mechanically, V poured another glass of scotch and used it to swallow an omega blocker pill. Johnny’s eyes flickered to her, lowering as he glitched out of her peripheral. She kicked her heels off and slid down the wall, burying her face between her knees, still holding onto her glass. The liquid swayed ever so slightly, her apartment now dead quiet as her body released a series of soundless sobs.
#johnny silverhand#corpo v#silverv#i started writing this intending for it to turn into them hate fucking but it went like this instead#the hate fucking is on the way though i promise#“how can they touch each-other?” idk man Johnny literally clocks your ass and knocks pills out of your hands in the very first scene#i think their interactions in her head translate to her body responding to stimuli as if they're exerted by an external force#but it's internal kinda like when you have a strong emotional response and it reflects as physical sensations#i like to think the closer they get to melding together the more intense the contact between them feels#so idc if the reddit incels think it's just “jerking off” and “self cest” yeah you'd know a lot about that buddy wouldn't you#looks like i wrote a mini essay in the tags too oopsie#v cyberpunk#cyberpunk 2077#cyberpunk fanfic#{silverv drabbles}#does anyone read these?#schrödinger's tags

Thoughts in head about a Venn diagram of the Lord of the Rings, The Left Hand of Darkness, the Aubreyad, and Les Mis where the center is stories which are about flawed characters yet fundamentally hopeful about human nature and which also completely throw you into their specific time and place in a way few books manage to do. Not sure what the other overlaps would be although I have some thoughts but I believe with the power of Tumblr we can fill in all the gaps
#these books are a canon set to me. they all go together in my heart#also i feel like there's a lot of overlap in people who like them#in that i think people who read each for specific reasons might not love them all but if you like two of these you'd probably like the rest#there are also subgroups which feel more intuitive and others which feel less so#idk i'm curious what people's thoughts are. we discussed this a bit on aubreyad discord but i am extending it here#perce rambles#not tagging this for these pieces of media sorry

ID: two panels of a sketched comic. the first shows the silhouette of park chul-moo in the arched doorway of a room that is much darker than outside. dialogue from him reads, "I was wondering if you'd turn up." the second panel looks over his shoulder from behind, showing a hooded figure seated cross-legged on the floor in front of him, lit by the doorway but with their head bowed and hands bound in front of them. dialogue from chul-moo reads, "Again." end ID
this got. so long. it's under the cut. an ode to my favorite plot-relevant renown heart.
ID: a sketched, dialogue-heavy comic of guild wars 2 characters in two long vertical pages. the first two panels are the same as those above the cut.
The next shows the lower half of the hooded person's face, which is pale with faint scratches and bruises, and grinning nastily under a thin mustache. A loose bandana is pulled down below the chin so it hangs around his neck and he wears the shoulder guards of medium jade tech armor. Dialogue from him reads, "Like a bad penny."
The panels begin to overlap with each other. The next shows Chul-moo's face and shoulders from the front, looking unamused with slightly gritted teeth. Two merging dialogue bubbles from him read, "And what do the Kestrels think they stand to gain by wasting my time? We're the only reason Tetra hasn't already blown this whole forest to smithereens."
In the next panel, the hooded man (it is Ratthew the Vile) tilts his head up, revealing a truly scummy smile framed by strands of loose hair and topped off by several worse scratches and bruises. His dialogue is in two bubbles connected to him both here and in the next panel. It reads, "Oh, don't worry. There's another outsider doing the same in the Speakers' camp right now. And I guarantee they're not being as friendly about it as me." He says the last part in a large panel with a solid dark background that extends vertically behind the two above it. Both figures are shown from the side, facing each other and starkly lit by the doorway. Chul-moo's arms are crossed, and Rat looks up at him, still smiling, with his bound wrists held in front of his chest.
The second page starts with two panels side by side, simpler than the previous one. Chul-moo is doodled with raised eyebrows and wide eyes, gesturing loosely and saying "Great!!" Then with lowered eyebrows and holding his hands emphatically, saying "Why don't you go help with that then."
The next panel shows him again, drawn with the original level of detail, slightly backlit by the doorway. He has lifted one hand from crossed arms to wave it in the air, eyes closed with an irritated smirk, saying "I can even give you some pointers," and in smaller text outside of a bubble, "Please get our bread oven guy out of there."
The next panel shows most of Rat's seated form from the front and the edge of Chul-Moo's crossed arms from behind. Rat's smile has become more unassuming and friendly, his one blackened eye shut and head tilted slightly. His hands are still tied so he gestures slightly with his thumbs, saying "Well... The company here is so much nicer..."
The next three panels are the same size and shape, stacked vertically to the right of the previous one. The first two are close ups of Chul-Moo's eyes, first glaring down with one raised eyebrow, with no dialogue, then looking to the right with an unreadable expression, saying, "Is that right?" The third is a blank dark box with white text that says "Maybe we've been too forgiving then."
The next two panels are close-ups of hands; The first is Chul-Moo's armored fingers over the opposite elbow of his crossed arms, the pinky finger tapping slightly. The second is Ratthew the Vile's bound hands, seen from the side, with all the fingers comfortably folded besides the pinkies which are sticking out slightly. Dialogue extending across both panels says "Or if you mean it... Why not join us for real?"
A jagged tail leads from the last dialogue bubble to an even more loosely-drawn final panel with no frame or shading. It is being emitted by a boxy radio on a large table, surrounded by Kestrel Ayumi, Detective Rama, and Gorrik, who are all wearing varying concerned or weirded-out expressions. Ayumi is saying, "The little Krytan got caught again. I thought you said he'd be good at this?" Gorrik replies, "He should be! The Marshal said he did this stuff all the time! Maybe he's sick?" Another bubble from the radio says "—What a generous offer—." Rama says "I'm gonna be sick if I have to keep listening to this." end ID
something something first conversations. phew! this was a pain in the ass. thanks for making it this far.
#it was also a blast tho. tbph.#guild wars 2#gw2#end of dragons#chul-moo#ratthew the vile#the others are only there a little so i prob shouldnt tag them. crucial perspective though.#sorry for arty rocking#more like. sorry this fucks so hard!!!! sorry im so good at this and brave and gay#have read the description like ten times i hope i didnt miss any typos. god help me#do i need a tag for this. you'd better hope not#m

All the stock images of the 10th Doctor are. Silly. Like geniune white-backdrop, doing some random pose or expression stock images. Like not "this is the picture png stock image that gets slapped on his wiki and other places" but like the if you Google "stock images of people" it's just that. Except him.
#carry me through these trying times.#sorry i. Am trying not to talk about it a ton but i wanted to mention it at least here and on discord once but.#Im having a bit of a MomentTM. Particularly what im praying(knock on wood) is a hypocondriact one.#It probably wont effect here as much and most my discord but. If i seem a little extra inactive then that is why.#Dont worry I'll make an update post when I am rejoicing in “I was right!! I was just massively overthinking it all and nothing is wrong!!!”#Again. knocking on wood. Only fates I want to jinx are the ones where I say i wont catch feelings for a character and then i do.#anywho. on a lighter note.#I teasered this a little bit in my last post I was wondering if anyone would notice I put Doctor Who in that pile of fixations.#Though I think someone. cough. Mightve had an extra pre-teaser to it due to. me suddenly mentioning it while in a mutual server. cough.#but I think someone else in the server is a double so im just going to. this blog is going to be getting my blunt force of it.#truthfully I normally leave servers that have doubles but considering theyve never talked about them then.#As long as that continues. Im. Will be fine. SOULY JUDT BECAUSE hes new to me and they never spoke of him.#If this was an F/O i already had then even if they never mentioned them I'd still probably go.#this is why i. get a bit bummed whenever someone doesnt list their F/Os. especially because for some reason-#-I've been on a streak of getting into increasingly more and more popular fandoms.#Im beginning to think im just using this as a coping mechanism at this point by overwhelming myself-#-with huge amounts of new big strong feelings that clog and clutter my mind.#wow Kane. selfshipping? to cope? what a new and unique idea /j/j/j/sarcasm#these tags were supposed to end after the first couple of sentences. hello everyone.#If you read all this here's 25$ to go spend on something nice. Get whatever you'd like.#i wouldnt put it past me to fall for different iterations of the Doctor as well but that is purposely exactly why I am-#-skipping ones and doing only this particular iteration one. Thank you wiki page that listed out what episodes are what doctors.#I mean they're all technically the same one. but also not. but also I dont entirely know what im talking about.#okay OKAY clamming up now. Good morning everyone. sending you all peace and tranquility

The Finale
Fandom: Hetalia (personified) Pairing: Arthur x Kat (EngUkr/UkrEng) Content Length: Short (~1400 words) Trigger Warnings: Implied Dying, Terminal Lucidity
“Sir, your wife is up.”
“She’s what?” Arthur frowned, not hearing the nurse all that well.
“She’s awake now.”
“Oh, well then I should go see her.” He hurriedly put the newspaper down, propped himself up with the help of his walker, and slowly made his way to see Kat. His shaky hand knocked on the door twice.
“Are you decent, my love?”
“Arthur, is that you?”
Not hearing what she said, Arthur pushed the door open and made his way into the room. After all, she was his wife and he had every right to see her whenever he wanted. He walked in and looked immediately at Kat who was tidying up the room. His face brightened at the sight of his lovely wife, but his eyes held a somberness.
“My love, how are you feeling?” He sniffed.
“I feel so much better, my dear. It looks like I just needed some rest.”
“Needed what?” He asked, not hearing the last of her response. Kat carefully shuffled over to Arthur and gave him a sweet kiss. Arthur grunted contently.
“You look beautiful today,” he said, looking at her beaming face.
“And you look so handsome in your vest.” Kat brushed off some of the dandruff on his shoulder and straightened out his knitwear. “Is this new?”
“No, Matthew sent it to me. He made it a while ago.” He made it while you were asleep.
“Oh, it looks great on you.”
Arthur looked around the room and noticed that the room was somehow cleaner than before and that the bed was made. It's been a while since he's seen the top of the bed flattened out so neatly.
“You cleaned?”
“Yes, Alfred is visiting us today.”
“Who?” Arthur leaned in a bit to hear her better.
“Alfred, your brother.”
“Ah. Is it Wednesday already? I thought today was Monday.”
“I don’t know, but he’s coming today.”
“What time will he be here?” Arthur walked closer to her dresser and parked his walker there. “Gah, stupid wheels.”
“Here, I’m coming to help you.” Kat shuffled over with her bad hip and helped him reposition the walker so he could sit closer to the bed.
“Sit down with me, my dear.”
“I think I'll stand for a bit. You know how my hip is.”
“Well, suit yourself.” Arthur locked the device with a frown and, with the support of the dresser, walked over to the record player on the other side. He turned the music on full blast and gently nodded along as the familiar notes he’d heard for the last 65 years mildly hummed in his ears.
Arthur shuffled back over to his walker a bit less grounchy now and carefully lowered himself into the seat, grunting from the effort. Kat changed her mind about standing and sat beside him on the bed, tapping her feet to the rhythm of the melody. Kat enjoyed being by Arthur's side, especially on such a beautiful morning. She put her hand in Arthur’s and stroked it with her thumb.
“Oh, I like this song.”
“What was that?” Arthur turned to her with a raised eyebrow.
“I like this song,” she repeated louder for him.
“Oh,” Arthur chuckled, “I knew you would.”
Kat hummed happily as she listened to the song they had their first dance to. Arthur was adamant about playing this song at their wedding as it was the song he heard when he first met Kat. It was the only song he had ever danced to and lately, the only song he wanted to listen to. Kat didn’t mind as it brought back wonderful memories they shared over the decades.
Arthur grunted suddenly, carefully pushed himself off the walker, and took small steps to face Kat. He held out his hands to her and asked her to dance with him.
“You haven’t asked me to dance in so long. I thought you’ve forgotten already.” Kat gently placed her hands in his and they walked to the middle of the room where there was plenty of space for them to slow dance together.
Arthur gave Kat’s hands a somewhat dry, but tender, kiss and brought her close to slow dance with her. They didn’t really care for the music or following any beats, but just the natural rhythm of their bodies. Kat rested her head on Arthur’s shoulder as his lip quivered and he gasped quietly to himself. If only she knew how much he'd wanted to dance with her all these months.
Ever since Kat was bedridden, she hasn't been able to even recognize Arthur. But today, she was moving around with energy and excitement as if she was her old self again. And Arthur knew what that meant. So, just for today, he wanted to share one last dance together. They haven’t danced in years but it always felt like their first time.
“This is so nice, honey.” She said as he tried his hardest to hide his tears from her. When the song ended, Kat lifted her head and acknowledged his teary face. “What’s the matter? I’ve never seen you cry. Is it too stuffy in here? I could open the window and let some fresh air in.”
“I just love you so much. That’s all.”
Kat gave him a warm smile and gently wiped his tears off his cheeks. “Oh, that’s just the sweetest. I love you, too.”
“Don’t tell Alfred I cried.” Arthur immediately frowned at the thought of his brother repeatedly taunting him for crying.
“I promise I won’t.” She hugged him close and continued to move to her own rhythm. Arthur’s eyebrows furrowed and he held onto Kat tightly. He wasn’t ready to let her go. Not now, not ever.
He wiped his eyes with his shaky hands and kissed her gray hair, basking in her natural scent for as long as he could. He wanted to remember her in every way possible for as long as possible. Maybe it wasn’t her time to go yet, but if it was, Arthur had to make the most of it.
“Love, when is Alfred coming by?”
“He said around midnight.”
“Huh?”
“Midnight.” She said louder in his ear.
“Midnight? Isn’t that a bit late?” Arthur looked at her.
“He has a long drive here.”
“Ah, right.” He did not. Arthur knew Alfred had moved closer to them over a month ago, but he didn’t have the heart to correct her. If she said he has a long drive, then so be it. Happy wife, happy life.
“I should start cooking for him so he has something to eat when he gets here. You know how strong his appetite gets.”
“Darling, you don’t have to cook. He knows how to do it himself.”
“I know that. I just feel like making something today. What do you think he’ll like?”
“A cup of tea.”
“He does not like tea, sweetheart.”
“Ah, right, right.” Arthur waved it off, not caring about Alfred at all, and walked over to his walker so that he could join Kat in the kitchen. Any time apart from her was too long.
“I can make some tea for you.”
“What?”
“I’ll make some tea for you.”
“That would be lovely. Thank you.”
As quickly as her bad hip allowed her, Kat made her way to the kitchen to make Arthur some fresh tea. Arthur couldn’t stop sniffling as he slowly followed her to the kitchen. The nurse came over to Arthur to help him get the walker through the tiny hallways and Arthur stopped momentarily to ask the nurse.
“What day is it today?”
“It’s Monday.” The nurse replied.
“That’s what I thought." He recalled seeing 'Monday' in the newspaper earlier, so he wanted to ensure his memory hadn't totally failed him. "And is Alfred coming tonight?”
“No, he’s coming next week.”
Arthur’s brows furrowed once more and he nodded with tears in his eyes, confirming what he didn't want to accept. “That’s what I thought. And Kat. Is she..?”
“..She’s waiting for you in the kitchen.”
“Well, I knew that!” He snipped at the nurse, then grunted as he regretted his attitude. He let out a shaky and emotional sigh. “Could you tell my brother to visit us tonight?”
“Yes, I can call him.”
"Tell him to bring Mattie and everyone."
"I will."
“And don’t tell him I cried. I don’t need him asking me questions about it.”
“I won’t.”
“He’ll see it for himself when he arrives.”
His brows upturn again and his lip quiver returns. Arthur lets out another long, unsteady breath as he amps himself to reunite with his wife in the kitchen.

fan reading the official trivia book voice "bro you're just making shit up"
#kommento#// the snobbiest p4academic scholar of the decade right here at moelgas station tumblr branch#// in pclub they're like 'oh teddie's used his teddie tricks to make glasses'#// then in stalker club is like 'there were tools in the twisted shopping district' where were you seven years ago#// every trivia bit I get I have no idea how high a writing executive this is and half of the time they pull shit out of their ass like ok#// theres more stuff to nitpick here but they won't fit in tags but I'm a snob you'd know where this is going. or not. actually.#// no but this is still a fun read I mean yosuke's such a trooper writing that whole junes club section#// after reading all thesebooks these writers did not give three shits about adachi it really was 2 at best dont give them this much credit#// I forget what else I'm missing in my collection I guess it's just looking for the novels now

"displaying their pronouns for our joint ease and comfort as it makes it impossible to get it wrong by accident means they are waiting to be offended" so you admit it then, you are actively looking for people you don't think fit a certain gender so you can misgender ('offend') them?

Happy anniversary to this banger.
#same person who would cry about how you can't use pronouns any more in case you get it wrong#or how it's sooooo hard to tell what gender someone is#my good bitch that's why they are showing you which pronouns they use so you don't have to guess and you'll always be right#if people were actually just more chill about trans people and pronouns beyond he and she we wouldn't even have to display them#because if you got them wrong they'd just correct you then you'd say sorry and use the right ones and everyone would be happy#but also some ppl have anxiety and don't want to have that interaction so read the pronouns tag bitch#(and let's face it they likely won't/can't actually 'get offended' at you anyway they work in customer service where you're no longer real)

i'm going to say something so controversial and yet so brave
chuuya nakahara is one of the most incredibly interesting, engaging and well-written characters in bsd and the fandoms reduction of him as nothing more than dazai's love interest does him such a disservice
#he's hot! he's a short king! he's a mafioso! he rides a motorcycle!#he's maybe a god! he's maybe not human! he's got a taste for fine wine!#he's surprisingly kind! he connects with people easily! he finds friends whereever he goes!#he's so traumatized and still wants to see the best in people!#why is all anyone ever talk about stupid shitty d*z*i. we need to throw him down some stairs i think#he's probably THE most fleshed out character in bsd and yet somehow the most misunderstood#shipping is shipping and like YEAH all fandoms are guilty of this#but as one of THE most popular pairings in anime how do the fans just like... throw away his whole personality for THAT man#IT WAS NUMBER 3?!?!??! NUMBER 3 MOST POPULAR ON AO3 IN 2024?!??! I AM GOING TO BECOME THE JOKER#i think i've mentioned this before but a while back i was reading an ss*kk fic that had a side of s*kk that was#somehow unfortunately more interestingly-written than the side pair so i ventured into their tag#and you'd think as one of THHEEEE most popular ships those two would have 10/10 top tier change your life fics up the ass#nope!#bsd fans are addicted to completely stripping characters of their personalities so they can fuck. not even fuck nasty! fuck vanilla-ly!#listen for the record i TOO find them compelling. their relationship is VERY interesting. i TOO write them together in my fics#BUT THATS NOT ALL CHUUYA IS?!?! HELLO?!?!#welp. off I go to the galleys. farewell my friends

i'm going to keep this short so hopefully people are more likely to read and interact/donate. i wish i could tell you all about how much this family means to me, but people have been turning a blind eye to families in gaza now more than ever, so i'm trying something different in the hopes that it will help my dear friends. i'll keep trying again if this doesn't work. i'm desperate for them.
the shehab family needs to raise €85k to evacuate reem, fahed, their children, and fahed's sister's family. they had to raise their goal from their initial €50k goal, which they still have not met. €47,793 / €85,000 has been raised as of sept. 4th. the fundraiser is verified here. reblog. donate. thank you.
tagging for reach under the cut. dm me if you'd like to be removed.

#i was like lets make a cute little thing really quick and then i tunnel visioned for.... 20 mins?#don't open the tags unless you're prepared for a wall of text#my art#another one of those images which uncomfortably straddle the line between 'my scribbles' and 'my actual work that i put real effort into'#anyway this is me after i was like let's make a proof of concept for a productivity app it'll be fun and fast#and in order to make a full proof of concept i went back to the initial thoughts i had about the app (which i wrote down of course)#so i could. y'know. get the full concept down. and then i read like thousands of words of completely disorganized spitballing. head spinnin#but also did you know that me from what. like 3 years ago? shares remarkably similar ideals as me today. who would have thought really.#i had forgotten about half of the stuff that i originally wanted in the app and now my app idea is slightly bigger#(my already big mind palace app is already. big)#and maybe you'd be like 'wow okay that just means you grew up and developed so you don't need them anymore!' false sense of security it's#actually because i am no longer a student and also have no job so my daily life is different but my work ethic (lack thereof??)#is still the. same. so if i were ever to work in a society again i would need. them. most likely#and the other half of the stuff that i originally wanted are things that i unwittingly wrote into my recent drafts so yeah i got kinda#blindsided by myself back there. 'oh shit YOU were the one who came up with this first. wtf i thought i was being original and innovative'#slight exaggeration bc what im making is like 98% clone and 2% not clone (but maybe still 99% clone bc there might be another app out there#that i just haven't heard of but is like exactly the same as what i am thinking in my head)a nyways#okay yeah uhhhhhhh so i'll be back at some point with more fun words good night fellows#also did you know that ms paint has layers now (not that new news) and also doesn't let you save in layers that's crazy shit

Help save Bilal's family!
i want to talk about my friend Bilal @bilal-salah0. for over a year now, Bilal has been living in germany, trying to adjust to his new living situation in a foreign country, learning a new language and working full time.
when the war started, he was far away from home and his family and has been living in daily fear for their lives ever since.
being forced to work long hours and promoting his family’s fundraiser at the same time, he has taken on more responsibility than anyone ever should. still, he managed to raise money for their evacuation fund and helped take care of his family’s daily needs with the money he was making while working.
in a cruel twist of fate, all of this got taken away in an instant. he lost his job and his apartment and even his residence permit. which means he is at danger of deportation from germany that could happen as soon as next week!
i have been in daily contact with Bilal for a while now and connected him with some of my friends in germany. together, we are trying our utmost to make sure he can stay in the country. anyone who knows german bureaucracy knows what kind of hell it is. but we won't give up.
without his job, he was forced to dip into the money of his family’s evacuation fund to cover their daily expenses like food and shelter. this meant he had to raise his goal from €70,000 to €100,000. this was not an easy decision for him to make, he even asked for my advice on whether or not to do it, because he did not want anyone to think he was scamming people.
even in such a desperate situation, Bilal does not want to be seen as someone who would ever take advantage of people's generosity
his family is comprised of 18 members, 10 of them are adults and 8 are children under 16 years old, some of them newborns who were born amidst the chaos of war and displacement.



currently, he is sitting at:
€71,817 / €100,000
donations have been slowing down ever since he reached his original goal. i cannot stress how important it is that they pick back up!
WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME! HE NEEDS TO REACH HIS GOAL BY AUGUST 15TH!
THAT MEANS HE HAS TO RAISE NEARLY 30K IN THE NEXT TEN DAYS. THIS CANT WAIT.
his campaign has been verified and can be found on @/el-shab-hussein’s and @/nabulsi’s list of vetted fundraisers here (#132, line 136) so PLEASE don't hesitate to share and donate.
With such a tight deadline, i cant do this on my own. So i implore you to PLEASE share this wherever you can– on your whatsapp groups, on your discord servers, please share his story on other platforms wherever you have reach! Please share his story wherever you can, so that we can ease this burden from his shoulders.
[ID: a gfm link with a picture of two small children sitting in the sand in front of a cooking pot. they are looking up a the camera, eyes half-closed. the title reads "Donate to Help Evacuate My Family from Gaza to Safety, organized by Bilal salah" End ID]
