It’s never okay to lock a headmate away, never. They could be the worst person in the world, you still shouldn’t lock them away. There’s a difference between keeping headmates away from eachother and taking away someone’s privacy, free will and connections. You are abandoning that headmate, you are telling them that they are not worth helping, that they don’t deserve to get better. If talking it out doesn’t work for them there are other options, I’d recommend giving them their own space to speak their mind without threat of mistreatment for it, for starters. If someone really doesn’t want help don’t force it on them, just let them know it’s always an option and leave it at that. -Ange

This might be a bit of a dark question about the fuzzy AU but.. was Acht alone when they died? I'm assuming timeline wise that side order didn't happen pre Grizz winning (unless it did) so did they spend their last few days(?) alone in the Deepsea Metro with no idea what was happening to them or did something less heart wrenching happen?
Man that is a massive plot hole I completely forgot about and did not see coming. Honestly I think I can make it so somehow Acht already met Callie before getting fuzzed up? Because if not it wouldn’t be so interesting (and most importantly there wouldn’t be enough angsssssst).
Also yeah this post is a bit sad so just sayin’.
Acht and Callie already knew each other and went out together constantly, but they got fuzzed up when they were far from each other. Acht couldn’t get out of wherever they were in, because they were just so weak, until it was too much to handle and they died, alone, nobody knew they were struggling with it.
Callie often gets flashbacks about the time they spent together, however her memory gets blurred by her instincts and she doesn’t seem to be affected by them that much anymore. But she does remember them vividly, being probably their first true love.
She sometimes stays up at night thinking about them.
And the saddest part is that she still thinks they’re doing okay somewhere around.

thinking about the economic divide in the outsiders again. sigh.
#god the social divide is bad but it all links back to the economics#the the cycle of poverty all of the greasers get stuck in#they drop out cause they aren’t getting help and take the jobs they are able to get cause it’s that or nothing#stuck at jobs they can’t advance in cause they didn’t get to graduate or go to college#and their parents are broke so they couldn’t afford it anyway and they need them to work to support the family#and around and around it goes again#i can relate this to every single character#this isn’t even mentioning the way poc are affected by this cycle#two bit comes to mind a lot esp with his alcoholism and absent dad#he had to step up as the man of the house ever since he was young (in my canon) and so he had to stay in that cycle#there wasn’t a way for him to get out when everything is keeping him here and he has to support his family#sigh. this isn’t even half of my thoughts but i’ve been yapping hard#just the cycle of poverty they get stuck in. it’s everything#the outsiders broadway#the outsiders musical#the outsiders#sodapop curtis#darry curtis#ponyboy curtis#johnny cade#twobit mathews#two bit mathews#steve randle#the outsiders ace#ace outsiders#ace

It's hard being someone who does genuinely get infuriated with Ford's actions and acknowledges a lot of his flaws and the people he hurt, while also liking (and relating) to his character enough that I would like him to have nice things sometimes and don't believe he's satan
#hes not my favorite guy#but i keep having to defend him because every time people talk about him its like “YEAH HES A SHITBAG WHO WANTS TO WATCH HIS BROTHER DIE”#“HED PROBABLY LAUGH IN HIS FACE WHILE HE GETS MAULED BY TIGERS”#when i was reading the fanfic O Brother I too thought he was being overly cruel to poor Stanley (in a way that made sense not an ooc way)#but then he like found out the deity that was his entire life was lying to him and that he hurt people#and that he no longer can SLEEP because hell hurt people again#and he has to figure out the impossible answer of what to do while everyone is upset and untrusting of him#and his best and only friend barely can LOOK at him#and all the comments are like “YEAH THIS IS WHAT HE DESERVES!!! FUCK YOU STANFORD”#meanwhile im over here like “oh my god thats so fucking awful!!! i feel so bad!!!”#like he genuinely has NO ONE right then thats fucking awful#its Jonathan Sims all over again except even the AUDIENCE hates him and like?????? please hes just misguided he does NOT deserve this#stanford pines#ford pines#gravity falls#again let me clarify HES NOT EVEN MY FAVORITE GUY#i obsess over him occasionally but im a Stanley defender through and through AND YET#i keep having to say “guys. hes not as bad as you guys think. and Stan isn't as GOOD as you guys think. GUYS. PLEASE.”#it truly is interesting how different focuses on characters influence the audiences perspective of them SO MUCH#because ngl remember how i mentioned J Sims?#i really feel like Jon and Ford are similar#meddled with deities they didn’t understand. had paranoid tendencies. isolated themselves often. had selfish tendencies.#often rude and abrasive but also had a heart#and again the audience LOVES Jon and hates characters for disliking him#but this audience (which probably is the same people too lol) hate Ford and feel vindicated when characters dislike him

i really do self sabotage when it comes to irl dating 😭💀
#spilling tea like you guys are my irls#first of all i’m chronically single#i dont do dating apps or casual sex (anymore. 2.5 years celibate by choice... which is a whole other story c: )#and second of all anytime anyone shows interest in me i am 🏃♀️💨 running away#even if they’re cool#😭😭😭😭😭#i *am* the problem. THAT i know#there’s this person who i’ve known for a very long time and they've been trying to take me out for a year#(very casually not pushy at all)#first time i said yes but my travelling got in the way. eventually we stopped talking but then we started again some time later#and when they asked to do something again - i got scared so told them i was sick (WHICH I WAS BUT HFJGJGJGJ IDK)#and THIS time he mentioned it again#and i umm didn’t respond until after 6 days#i know i know i’m awful#but here’s the thing#IM TRAVELLING AGAIN#FOR A WHOLE MONTH THIS TIME#so if it even happens it’ll be pushed back once more#but like i said we've known each other for a long time so it's always been brought up in a casual way. nothing that really screams DATE#although i can tell the tone of it is a lil more than friendly#i’m just glad he’s super nice and older than me (so he doesn’t rlly care about late replies and all that. usually when i respond late he#replies right away)#and we both keep ourselves busy with work#AND HE LIKES ANIME TOO LMFAO HE DRESSED UP AS SUKUNA ONCE#so like#i need to do better#💀💀💀💀#commitment is scary DATING IS SCARY#i just don’t want to date until i’ve achieved some personal goals but at the same time i don’t want to limit myself you know#HOWEVER i can’t have high expectations for my partner when i don’t have high expectations for myself

I can’t stop thinking about (mczu) etho and the ranch. He knows theres a tragedy there—likely more than one. He knows the occupants did not make it. He knows there’s a stain on the couch and the carpet too dark to be anything but blood.
But he doesn’t know that it was built by those boys whose lives he’d spared, the ones he found hiding in that closet. He doesn’t know the stain on the couch was SCAR. He doesn’t know it’s where Scar died!! Where grian had to— !!!!!!
He ends up there and he mourns its occupants, because he doesn’t need to know what happened to them to know that they didn’t make it. It’s displayed clearly in the used sheets on an unmade bed, the stack of firewood by the unfinished fireplace, the notebook with the torn out pages abandoned on the coffee table. There’s too much domesticity, not enough paranoia. He knows they weren’t the kind of people who make it in this world. But HE DOESNT KNOW HES THE REASON THEY GOT TO HAVE IT, EVEN IF ONLY FOR A LITTLE WHILE. EVEN IF THEY DIED ANYWAY.
GOD if the mczu is all about choices (if etho didn’t kill grian because it wouldn’t matter. Bdubs would still be dead.), about decisions and consequences, then THIS choice of his is just as important, no? The ones that lead to positives, to relief, to mercy, even if momentary?
When he’s inside the ranch he cannot help but be affected by the ranchers tragedy without even knowing who they were or why—it’s enough to know they didn’t make it and were never going to. And it’s enough to see what they had and be jealous he’d never been able to have it with bdubs—to wonder if that’s why he’s still here and they aren’t. But the fact stands that without THAT CHOICE he’d made—to let them go—they may not have made it long enough to have had it at ALL, HOWEVER SHORT IT DID INDEED LAST.
AND HE DOESNT EVEN KNOW IT!!!
CAN ANYONE HEAR ME?!?
#worm says#I know revenant only has 2 chapters out and it’s been literally like a week but you don’t understand okay#I read ethos arrival at the ranch in NOVEMBER.#THIS HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING IM. IM FINALLY LOSING IT FOLKS!!!!!#and don’t even get me fucking started on the ranch house as the single constant in the entire mczu.#how tango managed to build something that lasts#even if him and Jimmy were gone too quickly to see it through. or to see it withstand#how it’s not JUST etho that comes across it and feels for the ranchers without knowing who they are or why#grian does the same thing does he not?#etho mentions the torn pages from the notebook on the coffee table#they weren’t torn when grian and scar got there. when grian read tangos declaration about the house and what it’d become#but they were torn when etho arrived seasons later.#you can’t say grian didn’t feel it too when he’d taken those pages with him. or burned them.#or done whatever it is he’d done after he tore them out#and what WAS that declaration again?#‘remember that night you told me you were cursed. maybe it wasn’t you.#maybe it’s this house. maybe I built it here.’#maybe tango built it there. but was it tango#was it the house?#or was it the ranchers themselves#is it their presence there. so tangible and unavoidable the second you cross the threshold#those occupants who’d fixed it and made it a home and never stood a chance and have been gone for so long#is it them who haunt it? the evidence of them that become the real curse?#does it matter? the ranchers are still dead and the house is still standing. it will always BE standing#whatever tango built there whatever he THINKS he built there#it’s there to stay. for good. for better or for worse#mczu#birdie

2023 reads / storygraph
The Poisons We Drink
YA urban fantasy
a girl who brews powerful potions is coerced into making potions to interfere with D.C.’s most influential politicians in an attempt to stop a dangerous Witcher Registration Act from passing, and will do anything to protect her sister after their mother is killed
bi MC, nonbinary love interest
arc from netgalley
#The Poisons We Drink#aroaessidhe 2023 reads#this is…….a lot of cool ideas but also so many elements and high stakes that i kinda lost track of them#the pacing is weird. the worldbuilding is random?#why is brewing SO overpowered & risky for her but the other powers seem to have pretty normal low-scale risks?#it’s definitely ambitious and has some cool ideas and also some great characters just. didn’t execute as well as I’d like#as much as we’re told the main threat is the government trying to put through a Registration Act#most of the actual antagonism we see is from other Witchers?#like the systemic discrimination got a bit lost in the witcher family drama and murder politics#important things to say about oppression and police violence but like....idk#she has this ‘deviation’- essentially evil sentient magic inside her head (and you KNOW I love that trope)#but it’s barely explained and very underutilised? other than helping her get out of bad situations you could take it out & would barely#change anything#also it’s explained at the start that she’s an empath but other than the very occasional mention I kept forgetting#will also note that I bumped this up my tbr because I saw the author talking/promoting it as the MCs sister being aroace but no mention#maybe it’ll come up in a sequel (there weren’t really any places where it would have made sense to bring it up here) but idk#(just the way the author was asking for advice on how to write an ace character and stuff you’d assume that they’d….put that in the book?)#not really a critique of the book itself but anyway. I really wanted to like this but the way it was put together just did not vibe with me#edit: I saw the author say on twitter that the version used for ARCs was before ace stuff was added and that there's other signif changes?#so perhaps that will be there! i'm not sure if I want to read it again but might skim just to see what that's about

I genuinely can’t tell if this person blocked me or if Tumblr fricked up
#I cant see their posts at all#it shows it as if they deactivated#like it’s completely gone#but I asked and their account is not gone?#I follow two of their accounts and I can’t see any of the posts on there#cant visit their accounts either#cuz it shows that the account is gone#but again. friends confirmed that they’re still here#and they also mentioned how being blocked looks different than the posts just being straight up gone#what the heck happene#smiles rambles#I don’t even talk to this person so I wonder why they blocked me if they did#I’m not super upset that they blocked me of course people can do what they want#but I liked their posts and I didn’t say anything wrong to them#oh well#I honestly think Tumblr is fricked up

your LoD art made me remember how much I loved this series back when I was in high school. thanks for the lovely trip down memory lane, and your art is absolutely gorgeous
AWW THANKS SO MUCH!!! These books have been so much fun to read over the last several months and they’ve honestly single-handedly rekindled my own childhood love for reading and high fantasy. I’m happy to hear that you like my art and that my own enjoyment of this series has brought back good memories for you, I’m honored 💚
#asks#talk#anon#you had wonderful taste in high school anon#also I don’t remember if I mentioned this in tags or in a post or something anywhere but I actually was given the Icewind Dale trilogy book#when I was in high school by my grandpa#I remember I started reading it and didn’t like it at first because it was so different from the YA fantasy novels i was into at the time#and I never got past like the first chapter and it went on my bookshelf never to be touched again#and then I grew up and watched LOTR for the first time and played DND for the first time and broadened my horizons honestly#and then played BG3 and heard people mentioning Drizzt and I was like. ‘who even is this guy where is he from’#my bookshelf that’s where he’s from#LOL#anyway all that to say that these books are turning out to mean a lot more to me than I ever expected they would#not to be too sentimental but it’s just been such a lovely time and I’m so glad that other people are just as fond of them#stories with a small bit dedicated group of fans like this are always such a wonderful community to be a part of too#I’m so fond of everyone else who posts about Drizzt here#idk sorry for the tag essay I’m just being gooey LOL#anyway.#💚

Ok tumblr I’m now begging
BEGGING
That you start treating these “ridiculous drama” scenarios that get boiled down to one sentence the same way you’ve helped people treat “frivolous” lawsuits against major corporations
Because it’s been several times now I’ve seen shit like “chili lady cancelled for sharing food?! The worlds gone mad!!” Without actually knowing the real conversation that was happening about that incident.
Same thing with the DoorDash shit recently
And let me tell you the vast majority of these situations involve disabled people sharing their thoughts and feelings on a topic, and so-called progressives going “you’re fucking re- I mean uh ridiculous! Who would think like this!? Entitled lazy fucks!”
#I cannot stand seeing the chili neighbor thing in here when I saw first hand what went down with my own two eyes#like not even to mention she had a long history of being anti Black and harassing Black trans women for calling out racism in the white#trans community#which I witnessed#but the thing about the chili?#she was being nosy snooping around in her neighbors trash and decided because they get take out that they weren’t doing well#so instead of going to them first and getting to know them she just decided to make a random meal for them#which doesn’t make you the devil or anything#but plenty of disabled people kept pointing out that hey you should ask before you bring someone food for multiple reasons#like food sensitivity issues or smell or allergies#once again pointing out the importance of just talking to the people first#and frankly all of this could have been avoided if she didn’t feel the need to post about it to virtue signal to her clique#like it’s clear she was doing this to feel like a savior not to actually help people#it’s all the fake ally shit#you don’t ask someone what they need you just assume you know what they need#like please be fucking honest#and don’t even get me started on the DoorDash shit#and how much ableism has come out of that

Being the way I am, I ignore the shit I haven’t processed, but now I’m crying because I don’t want to go to camp
#Last year I was alone#Like earlier I mentioned that I was so upset with being alone that I cried almost every time I wasn’t with someone#Bc it was the first year without my best friend going#Then my next closest friend came to camp late bc she was on a cruise#And she said she felt bad bc she didn’t know I was lonely#And even tho she and the crush are both gonna be there this year#I’m gonna feel so fucking alone bc the bad memories always creep in and I don’t want them to hear that.#I don’t want to go#last year sucked#And it was at the height of my middle of the summer depressive episode#which is coming back#So I’m gonna be depressed again and feeling bad#And I keep remembering my grandpa#Gods I miss him#I keep thinking that he’s still here but it’s been four fucking years#And I had an anxiety attack this morning because I saw someone who looked like my ex best friend#So I’m not doing okay#And I’m alone at home crying#After nearly two weeks of always having a friend right next to me#I want to stop existing

AITA for banning my husband and father in law from the delivery room due to their intensely stressful/creepy behavior during my pregnancy?
There’s a famous Reddit post from 2020 where a pregnant woman wrote that her husband and father-in-law were a little too comfortable with their certainty that she was absolutely going to die in childbirth just like her husband’s late mother. It was to the point where her FIL was insisting that she go ahead and put all her clothes into storage, because she was obviously going to die in the hospital and it would save them the grief of packing up her things afterwards. Like. It was WILD.
When I tell my husband [that she feels suspicious of her FIL], he calls me paranoid, but I feel like my FIL WANTS me to die; his whole life identity for the past 35 years has been “amazing single dad” (never dated or had close friends or even hobbies really), and it seems like he’s looking forward to being able to guide my husband through what he went through. At this point, I’d honestly be happy to never see my FIL again, and I certainly don’t want him in the delivery room, especially since he told me he was “putting [his] foot down” about me not being “allowed” to have an epidural…. My husband, in addition to backing his dad on everything, acts like my due date is my death date, and has completely pulled away from me.
The commenters (and me, honestly) were convinced that the husband and FIL were either going to kill her outright to fulfill this expectation, or just make decisions about her care that might conveniently let her die.
And then she never posted again.
Over the last four years, people have frequently mentioned that post, always leading to a thread of people saying, “Oh god, I still worry about that woman.” I did too. It became one of those famous unresolved posts that people always wondered about.
Until yesterday, when someone on r/BestOfRedditorUpdates dug up a 2022 update she had posted on a different account:
TLDR; I had a beautiful and healthy baby girl, and I divorced my ex-husband. I lived, obviously.
She writes that she put her foot down about having her own mother in the delivery room rather than her FIL (!), and she WOULD be getting an epidural. Her husband lost his shit. And in his outburst, he let slip--
I admittedly lost my temper, and told him that I wasn’t going to die- it wasn’t my fault his father’s trauma wormed it’s way into his head, and that he needed to fix it without taking it out on me. He yelled at me that he didn’t need therapy. That caught me a little off guard; I asked him why he went to his therapist and was given advice about my death if he felt he didn’t need it. His expression gave it away, and he caved not long after. It turns out there was no therapist. It was just his dad. During the times he was supposed to be at therapy, he was with his dad. I’m still fuming.
And that was when she got the fuck out.
I’ll wrap this up- I’ve got an adorable little toddler tugging at my leg atm. I’m alive, I’m happy, and I’ve got my baby in my arms. Life is good.
I truly never thought we'd see a resolution to this, and I feel like there's probably a good number of people who remember it, so I thought you might want to know.
ETA: Brilliantly, I put the link in at the top; here it is again for convenience.
