been reading @dandylovesturtles's fanfic, i may be invisible, but i still look good 🥺🥺

[spitinsideme]

I would like to imagine Demon!Pomni would climb all over Nun!Ragatha, like how pet rats like to climb over their humans.

I'd also like to imagine she at least tried to hang off of Ragatha's arm like a possum.

I just love how much of a creature Demon!Pomni is. Cold-blooded rodent.

AMAISNG IMAGIANTION !!! she does climb onto nun ragatha ans she just stays there ... demon pomni puts herself in the msot awkward positions and nun ragatha just has to adjust to it

the problem is i get genuinely, unpleasantly freaked out by Scary Face Images a la smile.jpeg or cartoon cat or whatever which makes enjoying creepypastas and internet horror videos and stuff a real fucking minefield

it is SO crazy to me to see people shipping Simon and Betty SO HARD and as though they're relationship is flawless and perfect and they were ~tragically~ separated by the curse of the crown

as someone who has only watch Fionna and Cake and then watched the episodes from Adventure Time relating to Simon only, it really seems like their relationship is set up to be flawed and sexist for its time

like. in FaC S1 Ep8 Jerry, there's literally a scene where Fionna is like "and then you went with her on the train???" and Simon goes "Yeah-huh, wha, no? Why would I-" before being cut off, and it is so perfectly set to mirror earlier when Fionna gushes about how romantic it was that Betty just "dropped everything" to go with Simon on his expedition. the implication that Betty would drop everything for a guy she just met but Simon wouldn't for her is so clear.

and in Adventure Time, there's an episode where Betty "changes the past" (not really though) so that she never had the opportunity to go meet Simon, where she instead prioritizes herself over him.

time and time again Betty's actions prove that she is so immediately obsessed with having Simon's approval and attention and that she would do anything for him despite them just having met. she literally sacrifices herself for him just to be un-cursed again.

and Simon barely does anything in return for her. and I'm not Simon-bashing here---Simon is my favorite fuckin' character and he's so sad and soppy and pathetic that I love him. and obviously he keeps trying to bring Betty back through dangerous rituals, but at the same time, he can't even focus properly on those to correctly bring her back, instead bringing Fionna and Cake into his world. i dont doubt that he loves her a lot and i think NOW he's grown as a person and could better reciprocate her very "give everything you have" kind of love but PAST him kind of... seems like a dick. not because he's bad/awkward at feelings, but because he never "gives up" anything for Betty like she gives up her entire life for him

it's so... very clearly sexist, where a woman must give everything to a man, but he doesn't have to give up anything for her or do anything to earn that kind of devotion. and I really really think FaC is going to bring it up too, and mention that their relationship wasn't as beautiful and perfect and equal as Simon thinks it was

and i am so fucking here for it and i feel like im going so incredibly crazy because WHY HASNT ANYONE MENTIONED HOW IMBALANCED THEIR RELATIONSHIP WAS?!

#the conservatism of totk is staggeringly obvious #its values advocating for an impossible inhuman reality where people don't get to act or feel beyond their prescribed role #nor have personal or even communal feelings about said role #when botw was all about this very conflict #duty and personhood and responsibility and the shadow of the past burdening the future #Choices all the way down

I think what's happened here is that BOTW also had a conservative tone to it... but:

established these themes you mention almost by accident, as a product of explaining why all of these cool weapons of the past Failed (but are available now) and why Zelda didn't Solve It from the start (but needs our help now) and it all relies on Link to save Zelda (but she didn't need saving yet in the past, etc.)

made the miscalculation that after 100 years, Hyrule isn't actually there anymore to 'revive.' People have been living without it (contrast: OOT or TP where only a few months to ~7 years passed) for generations in relative peace and Rhoam's ghost disappeared before he could actually direct Link and Zelda to 'make a new kingdom' like Daphnes does at the end of Wind Waker.

Zelda in Breath of the Wild must fail at first to explain why Hyrule fell so it's in the state Link navigates later. Zelda's powers being unavailable are the source of the conflict you describe: about duty and personhood and responsibility and burdens. But at a critical moment the divine legitimacy suddenly develops, revealing a solution to a near-hopeless situation.

Zelda embraces those suddenly-developed powers completely, despite suffering about their absence before. She doesn't for example, decide to use the chance her powers gave her to harness a personal interest in ancient technology to take control of the Guardians away from Ganon. Awakening her powers means pursuing a very specific solution: one she even seems to 'get' from the Goddess/Master Sword answering machine. So it may not even be her 'decision' or 'plan' at all, but instead the right answer beamed directly from heaven.

It's like a negging situation where Zelda is told she is not good enough up until she is in crisis and most of her support network is gone... only then is given this One Golden Option that proves why This Power She Despaired Over And Could have Rejected Was So Important After All-- a message that justifies her father King Rhoam's cruelty to secure this golden option. That way the King can present as a regretful but still justified and noble ghost instead of a jerkass ghost.

so the conservative message in BOTW is more 'have faith in the system's role for you, because only it can save everyone in a crisis.' But to establish that message, the 'reasons why someone might lose faith in the system's roles' part had to exist.

And TOTK is almost like an over-correction of that oversight as well as how BOTW leaves the land in a 'peaceful' state but without Hyrule's Authority or Zelda's Divine Legitimacy-- 'if you could choose to leave the system's roles behind when there is no crisis, here's why you shouldn't. In fact, it's predestined you can't.'

in my head i always liked to believe i’d never fall for lovebombing, and i’ve also never really been one for romance, but damn…

“know only this, mon cher, you are the only being i trust and whom i love, above and beyond myself.

all my love belongs to you.

you are its keeper.

a veil will now forever separate our union. but it is a thin veil… and I am always on the other side, my face pressed up against your longing.”

i can not even begin to explain how fast i’d fold if someone ever said something like that to me.

i mean damn i was folding and this was happening between two fake people in a fake world.

and him having louis’ initials on the inside of his little pocket right where his heart is… poetry.

so yes louis, one might fault you for sticking by lestat but my girl, if this is the way he always speaks to you, then i get it.

You said that if you dated Peter or Wade it would make you miserable. Which– Okay fair, Wade does have a history of purposely hurting the people he loves.

But what about Peter? Why do you think dating him would make you miserable?

because I’ll always know I had the option to climb a 6’8 cyborg and I passed that up for a sweaty little twunk that I perpetually have to remind to bathe (sorry peter)

If it's okay with you, could you write a drabble about the hypothetical aftermath of Amane getting attacked by Kotoko?

Welp thank you pal for making me absolutely insane with this request 👍 I ran through a few hypotheticals and realized I had to shift some things around since there were so many absolutely tragic outcomes. I worked something out but damn if it didn’t make me emotional to think about how uniquely rough Amane has it. Even making sure she's in a good place at the end, this got pretty serious, so warnings for child abuse and cult references. 

(So in canon, Kotoko goes in order and attacks Fuuta, but Kazui steps in. Then she attacks Mahiru while he’s distracted with his injuries. She’s about to attack Amane, but Mikoto gets in the way (my hc that he did it on purpose survives!). By the time they reach a draw, Kazui is back, and the two of them can prevent Kotoko from any further action against Amane. Sticking to this apparent system of three attacks and one rescue, I’m just shuffling around the injuries for this story. Fuuta’s attack went unnoticed, and he’s in the same state as canon Mahiru. Mikoto steps in before Kotoko can fight Mahiru, so Mappi’s the one who get out physically unscathed. While Mikoto checks on Mahiru, recovers himself, or discovers Fuuta, Kotoko is able to attack Amane next. Kazui comes to help, but not before she leaves Amane looking like canon Fuuta.)

Mahiru could practically feel her heart shatter into a million pieces when Amane finally cried in front of her. She hadn’t shed a single tear yesterday – it was the shock, Shidou said. Mahiru was skeptical. After all, she had been shocked, too, and cried plenty.

Amane woke as she came in with breakfast. She took a moment to survey herself, bandages peeking out from beneath her pajamas and an eyepatch securely over her right eye. As calmly as one might say “good morning,” she started to cry. Mahiru might have missed it, if Amane hadn’t wiped at her good eye with her sleeve.

“Oh, sweetheart…!” Mahiru rushed over to her. “It’s okay, I’m here.” She wanted nothing more than to wrap the girl in a secure embrace, but she remembered the mass of bandages that were around her chest. Shidou had mentioned broken ribs and bruises. It took everything in her not to cry along with Amane, at the thought.

“I can get you another ice pack, if you need. Or more medicine.” Her mind spun with ways to help with pain. Many of the first aid supplies had been used to keep Fuuta from the brink of death, but surely there were extras to spare for Amane. 

The girl just shook her head. 

She muttered, “I can’t… I…I’m going to be punished, I’m going to be punished…”

“No! You’re safe now.” Mahiru placed her hands gently on Amane’s arms. “Kotoko’s not coming back. We’re all watching over you. You’re safe. She’s not going to hurt you anymore.” 

“That’s not…” Amane pulled away. Her voice stayed level, despite hiccups interrupting her. A hand reached up to her eyepatch. “It’s this. It’s all of this. It’s sinful. I took it off last night, but he must have…” She started unwrapping it. “They’re going to punish me...” 

With a careful motion, Mahiru held it in place and took Amane’s hands into her own. She’d been picking up on the signs ever since they arrived here together, and a final wave of understanding washed over her. 

“I can’t let you do that.”

Amane’s expression twisted, though words came out far more frantic than fiery. “Let me go.” 

Mahiru didn’t. “I’m sorry. Amane, you need this treatment.”

“That is not your decision to make. That is not any human’s decision to make.”

Mahiru pressed her lips together. “I know. But I can’t watch as you… I can’t sit by again while someone…” She was careful not to apply any pressure, but she could no longer fight the urge to gather Amane up in her arms. “You don’t need to be afraid of those people, anymore.”

“I’m not afraid.” Amane hiccuped. “They love me, and I love them. I need to be good for them.”

“I love you, and I don’t want to see you in pain.”

“You just pity me because I’m young.”

“Why does your age matter? You are a lovely young woman – you are my friend – and I can’t bear to see you in pain.”

The two sat in silence for a moment. Mahiru doubted she would take that as an answer; Amane had refused to call any of the others her friend. At least she didn’t argue. In fact, it seemed she was leaning into the embrace a bit more. She sighed a shaky breath into Mahiru’s uniform.

“Listen, Amane. Can you do me a favor? I’m trying to be a good girl, too. To make up for something awful, I need to make sure you’re alright. Can you help me? Can we be good together?”

A long pause followed. Amane’s voice spoke up, ever so gently.

“I suppose I can consider it.” She added quickly, “for the sake of your redemption. Of course.”

“Of course.”

Faruzan is the most underrated character in genshin and you can't change my mind

[planetsallalign]

I don’t talk about it much but I’ve lost almost 60lbs. But no one tells you that when you lose weight suddenly it hurts when you’re a side sleeper. I had to get a memory foam mattress topper with a cushy pillow top that goes over it so my hips won’t hurt. And now when I sleep on my side I need a knee pillow because it hurts to have the bones in my knees touching each other.

[neganerd]

I'm ngl i think people in the fandom are romanticizing Betty's sacrifice as "badass sexy wife saves the day" instead of "young woman with identity and self esteem issues gives up on everything for a man she just met"

I know y'all like the ship, but some of y'all are ignoring what the series is trying to tell us.
