Pour one out for Reggie, always second choice for the Lodges after Archie

SECOND CHOICE FOR EVERYONE. like literally it is so hard to evaluate reggie (especially w/r/t the lodges) without bringing in The Tragedy Of The Side Character Rival-Foil who exists in the narrative to experience B-plot versions of the A-plot in miniature

riverdale-the-metanarrative is so blatantly full of guys who are different versions of archie and where his character could go in the story if he didn't have to be the protagonist-hero - munroe as the jaded star fighter with the same nickname hiram originally used on archie as an endearment, who could get out of this damn town if he commits to sports. eric jackson as the disabled vet with unmanaged ptsd who betrayed his unit for a manipulative man in authority who just gets to be a respectable figure in society while his groomed victims suffer (and he could speak up and get justice if he's willing to handle the social impacts of being labeled a survivor). kevin as the openly-gay damagingly-impulsive, validation-seeking, people-pleasing, insecure joiner with a nice-but-emotionally-distant dad who keeps trying to find happiness through in-group conformism. julian s7 as literal understudy, and the guy who died in war (also got targeted and negged by s7 reboot hiram lodge in the s7 reboot version of wrestling. dramatic monologues).

reggie is like. the most powerful and tragic of all of these archie analogs bc he's sometimes a rival, too. so his jealousy and inferiority complex towards archie exists both inside and outside of the narrative! all of those other archie reflections aren't also competing with him and comparing themselves to him and constantly getting handed his leftovers and cast-offs and feeling that that is what's happening. but reggie is :\

anyway. so tragic. love u reggie

while i will always understand people's disappointment about MelMem and the way the Kairi thing went, I just will like never agree with like "it was sexist and lazy and trash and that is the only thing it can be" takes. like "Sora had to save Kairi from Xehanort such sexist trash!" is the only way it can be read and not you know "Kairi being unable to defeat this version of Xehanort that represents her insecurities, doubt and trauma on her own at this point in her arc demonstrates her need and desire to face these things and grow on her own first."

Riku is unable to defeat Anti-Aqua on his own, and calls out for Sora to help. Kairi similarly is unable to defeat Xehanort on her own and calls out for Sora to help. One of these is apparently "allowed" and another is just inherently terrible no matter what and should never exist.

Like y'all claim to want Kairi to have story and have depth and experience growth but balk at any attempts to do that if they include things like "set backs" or "character faults" or shit, but those things are necessary for that growth to feel earned.

Would Rubrice actually get in trouble if someone found out they had a one night stand?

(I'm sorry if talking about them is getting annoying, but i love them so much ����💔)

pls don’t ever apologize i hope y’all know everytime i get an ask my heart leaps over the moon before it lands back in my body and pumps the stars through my veins. y’all will never annoy dad. also i love them sm too in fact I owe that anon so much i’m so glad they put me on this 😭 <3 <3

Yes & no. Ruby’s exaggerates, but it is certainly frowned upon. I don’t think anyone cares enough to actually reprimand the mentors/escorts for sleeping around, so long as it doesn’t interfere with duties. Kind of like office rules. On paper it’s not allowed, but it’s more like - don’t ask don’t tell, y’know?

But Ruby would not be able to handle the gossip or smug stares from her peers if they found out. She is a professional! She’s got a reputation to uphold! Oh, it would just be the talk of the Capitol.

She’s got a hot blush on her cheeks for dayyys after, and she can’t even look John in the eye.

John’s not making it easy on her, either. Teasing her at every opportunity so he can watch her stutter through exceptionally high-pitched objections. Getting a rouse out of her is one of his favorite time-passers.

Price will even try to fluster her with low spun dirty talk and lingering touches, reveling in the way she squeals and practically runs from him.

He’ll laugh, a rarity - a hearty, genuine laugh from deep in his gut as he watches her clear the room, grumbling unhappily all of the way.

(Ruby loves it, but she could never admit it. Instead she’ll lock herself in her room and ride her fingers to the tune of Price’s vulgar tongue and brute manhandling, stifling her noisy moans and squeaks).

I wonder who's going to fail this exam guys

I'm not one of those people mad about the narrative decision to have Shouto fail this exam. Shouto also earned this L. You know that moment where a gifted kid eventually hits a point where he can't coast anymore and has to actually learn to study. This exam is that point for Shouto. He couldn't just coast on his higher level of training and S power stat to bulldoze through situations past a certain level of complexity. Beyond the Inasa issue, this exam was largely full of hero students with more practical experience than him and Shouto's overconfidence in his individual brute strength prevented him from considering what was actually being tested during this exam.

On another note, it's funny that Izuku doesn't even bother to try to stop Bakugou. He did make an attempt with Shouto and had to be told to give up on stopping him.

Something that I remember sometimes and then get slightly sad and/or angry about is that I once attended a powerpoint night where my PowerPoint concept flopped so badly but three (count 'em 3) of my friends (only one of which attended that particular powerpoint night) asked me if they could use my concept for their own powerpoint nights and all three of them got some kind of praise or award.

how do we feel about me writing a super self indulgent alex fic

[vampiricsheep]

so since I may be free this summer after all, would anyone be interested in an RP event that's a potluck? I've been wanting to do it for ages but there's never any interest compared to other themes

for a discord rp, I would make a separate server explicitly for this purpose so you don't have to be in any guilds or anything! I would also delete the server (or at least channel, if people would like an event-planning server long-term) after a week - enough time for people to read over their stuff but not preserved forever and ever.

Welp I got an 89.5 on my paper so it is "I am a total failure and the professor thinks I'm stupid" hours.

must know your thoughts on the roose in an immortal skin-changing vampire theory? bolt-on!

let’s get it up on the board

so “roose bolton is an immortal skinchanging vampire” is INSANE right. it’s supposed to answer the question “why does roose put up with ramsay” and instead of “he has a high tolerance for violence and depravity as long as it does not directly inconvenience him” we landed on “he’s planning to flay him and wear his skin to continue the cycle.” That being said vibe-wise if it was going to be anyone it would be roose and the boltons and it IS incredibly slay. 7/20 time to go for a walk and experience the solace and tranquility of nature

I don't think I've mentioned this yet but one of the AUs I rolled for myself as a part of AU Roulette was "Star Wars AU" and I am really inordinately pleased with some of the nonsense I have been coming up for with that one.
