#THANK YOU for making my day

[scrumptiousstuffs]

Hey hey! I've been reading those asks you answered on the alleged bias towards Khao over First and getting a little miffed about that as well. So I thought it's time for some positive energy in here 😅

Regardless of what anyone says, right now First and Khao are clearly a package deal, and one of the main reasons they became more known and popular together is because of their dynamic and how well they act off of each other. And that takes two people equally, no matter how some antis like to twist it.

Yes, Khao got those nominations (which he fully deserves!) because he had the opportunity to show a huge dramatic range in those two roles, but the thing to do as fans is not to begrudge Khaotung the well-deserved recognition but to keep supporting First as well and to maybe talk more about First's amazing performances so that he also gets nominated going forward. I think First deserves every award for his acting, and I wish him nominations abound in the future! Obviously we have no say in whose performances the official circles choose to nominate, but we can sure as hell just show our support and hype First up instead of whining about Khao being nominated more.

Anyway, what I'm saying is don't pay those people too much mind. Everyone has their opinion, but I still think the people who love them both equally are in the majority :)

Okay, that's all I wanted to add to the topic^^

Hope you have a nice day!

OMG THANK YOU....😭😭😭😭😭 Finally, someone who makes sense.

I am not sure what else they want me to say - I never deny there are bias in CP but to say that the majority is Khaotung focus and First is essentially on the side line? I really think these people are unhappy because Khaotung has been the one (so far) to receive nominations and so perceive that First is being forgotten.

I honestly believe First time will come! He is just as talented as Khaotung and I have no doubt we will get to see more of his acting chops. And like you say, a CP takes 2 to tango and its the dynamics that make their acting sparkles.

Thank you for putting your thoughts eloquently here because sometimes I struggle to put it down in writing. You have made my day!!!! 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶

hi hi hea i hope ur good and happy (almost) halloweeennn!!! ahEM i must know -- do u and tobio have any specific fall/spooky season rituals? if ur together for the holiday, do you guys watch any scary movies together? if so, who gets scared easier? you or him? :D

HAPPY HALLOWEEN RAIN!!!! MWAH

well if you must know, i guess i have to answer 🤭

so i really wanted to at least show face at a party because i wanted us to have matching costumes — we’re going as bugs and lola bunny aaaah can you picture it???? he was also very happy about it actually 😈

however, best of both worlds, so we’re also having a little movie marathon — my guy hasn’t really seen all that many scary movies, so have you educate him ofc. so any horror movie you can think of, halloween, the exorcist, it, blair witch — you name it

it’s actually the jump scares that gets him, which i will tease him relentlessly about. but once the movie is over, he’s usually okay. while i’m more of unsettled by the eerie atmosphere yk, which he will take full advantage of. if we’re taking a short break from the marathon to cook dinner, i’ll be a little on edge, and he’ll say something dumb like “shh, you hear that?”. it scares me shitless for a solid 10 seconds before he can’t fight his smirk because he has zerooooo poker face

all in all, we like to spend all sorts of holidays together really. i usually, at one point, want to do something more lively, and he something more calm so we try our best to make both of us happy 🙂‍↕️

just popping in to say that i adore your meta posts and i love how you talk about certain characters, particularly nami, usopp, and sanji. so much of op discussion/meta is so stagnant and boring to me because it's all the same. very rarely do i see differing interpretations and i find your specific analysis of them so interesting

Oh you're so nice. Thank you. I've actually never gotten a direct compliment like this before. I'm so glad I can provide.

[beausbugbiome]

You always look so cute in pics! You have a beautiful smile!! :) Your posts always give me joy since I was a teenager, certainly one of the best blogs in this website <3 Never stop showing people how bugs are amazing

Oh my gosh, this is so so sweet. Thank you so much! I was actually having a not-so-great day at work today and this made me smile for the whole rest of the day. 🐛💕

I don’t typically read a lot of age regression fics (just not my cup of tea!), but wow. Don’t call me daddy?

Literally had me scrolling through my likes so I could reread it and remember to follow.

This is one of the best asks I've ever gotten on here. Thank you so much for taking a minute to send it, I appreciate this and you very much💜💜💜

Hey, you know your rant about Mina Liao and Echo, and how you claimed that they took away Torbjörn and Bastion's characters? Well, I think I have an idea on how to fix this. Let's say that Torbjörn's character and Bastion's character remain the same as before: Torbjörn works on his guilt for designing the omnics, and Bastion continues his role as the key to human-omnic relations, and how they serves as proof that omnics can change from their past programming, even from the Omnic Crisis.

Now, Mina Liao. Instead of an employee for Omnica, she was a roboticist working for the Singapore division of Vishkar. She designed Echo as a means of creating a fully sentient artificial intelligence after the success of Aurora, the first omnic who gained full sentience. She never worked for Omnica, and she wasn't an instigator for the Omnic Crisis. Echo felt uneasy about her role as a super advanced AI, not to mention that she claimed that looked awfully uncanny due to her facial projector instead of a simple single robot eye. Yet Mina always insisted that she was a special, unique program that could help ease tensions between humans and omnics, and that she had a lot of responsibilities awaiting her.

I think that's all I could conceptualize for now.

I adore this ask. This is brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

Because this sets up a fascinating and articulate dichotomy! Torbjorn and Bastion represent the past- Omnica, the Omnic Crisis, all that -while Mina Liao and Echo would represent the future. Bastion represents the known fear while Echo represents uncertainty; both are terrifying to the populace of an Earth trying to rebuild after the Crisis.

This version of Echo and Bastion would have a lot to learn from each other. Echo could seek wisdom about what it was like in the Crisis to try and prevent herself from slipping into that kind of violent mindset. Bastion meanwhile, could seek a new way of doing things, learning how to adapt and evolve to the new circumstances their uncertain future holds. Torbjorn, meanwhile, would be directly confronted with the best of what his technology could represent, and he'd have to grapple with that. I don't think it would sit easy with him that Mina Liao died to protect her creation. He didn't get the opportunity to die for what he believed in- to die to protect people from his own creations -after all. . .

I imagine it would be especially heart-wrenching for Torb if Echo was programmed to seek out his care after Liao's death. Maybe Echo has a message stored on her from Mina, begging Torbjorn to take Echo in and finish developing her because he's the only one she knows who would be talented enough to do so.

And then Bastion and Echo could be almost like siblings together. Both learning about the world around them. Both grappling with the legacy of their creators and their responsibilities to the world- Bastion's to prove that Omnics can change and Echo's to prove that Omnics can be so much more. Gosh I just think that they'd have so much to talk about!!!

The more I think about this AU the more obsessed I become with it. How dare you do this to me (affectionate)!

Hey Tori, I hope you're feeling okay. Noticed some sad posts today so I wanted to share something positive with you. I was finally able to order a copy of Shut Down & it's due to arrive on Friday, so I'm looking forward to reading it! Sending you flowers & a hug (if you want it). ♥

Hello, lovely!

I've been coping with a sad event in my life and decided to let myself wallow in that last night. We're trying to let ourselves feel what we need to feel in order to properly heal.

But oh my gosh, thank you! Thank you so much for sharing that with me and for buying a copy in the first place. That means the absolute world to me and I can't wait to hear your thoughts-- if you're willing to share them. 🥰
