#Who are only 2 years apart.

Someone ACTUALLY just tried to tell me that it’s more “morally acceptable” to ship Luffy and Hancock than it is to ship Sanlu. Are you for REALLLLLL

[oifaaa]

hot take the only bat who both could and WOULD do the red hood thing better than jason is steph, partially because he thinks it's hilarious and secretly bails her out of whatever trouble she gets in that she can't handle solo. tim hates it, tries to out-hood them for a week, and immediately cringefails himself straight to jail. or the hospital. or both.

Ngl thought we were still talking about this in a reverse robin setting to begin with and it just sounded so cute like

2 years progress is crazy

I'm not completely opposed to making Pharma a weird guy in general pre-Messatine, the main issue I have with it is that a lot of that type of fandom is less "what if he was just a weird little guy" and more seems to be written with the implication that Pharma went crazy because he was just always a little crazy (or a little evil, or a little heartless, etc). Basically, to me it downplays the fact that Pharma underwent massive trauma for two years straight that other characters barely survived for a few hours/days and instead frames Pharma snapping as some sort of... I don't know, genetic/fated downfall because he was just weird, he was always off, is it really any wonder Pharma ended up Like That because I mean there was always something a little weird about him.

It just seems to accidentally imply that Pharma snapping under the pressure of years of torture was some sort of moral failing or sign of him being weak/immoral. You know, Pharma was always kind of a little creepy/insane/evil deep down which is obviously why he killed people. If he were just a normal, not-weird, good person then he would've been mentally strong enough to Not Go Insane. Like uhhhh it just seems kind of fucked up to imply that the reason some people are unable to cope with long-term trauma and have violent/unhealthy coping behaviors is because there's just something innately wrong with them, and then try and look back on their whole life trying to contextualize how they were actually unstable and evil all along instead of just accepting that like. Normal people (tm), yes normal and good people, can be put in situations where they're slowly turned into broken monsters because they had no escape and no good choices.

And also it's equally fucked up to imply that like. Whether or not you can deal with psychological torture without snapping is some sort of function of how innately moral or mentally strong you are. Incredibly victim-blamey to basically go "well the reason Pharma went insane is because he was just always cracked in the head, unlike our good buddy-pal-friend-hero Ratchet who's the perfect doctor and a good Autobot who's never done anything wrong which is why when he's an asshole/hurts people he's not nearly as destructive or Weird About It."

It's not that "Pharma was always kind of crazy" can't be done, because anything can be written well with enough thought. But I think in terms of writing, it's a very difficult and nuanced line to balance and most people literally just can't do it without implying that trauma victims/mentally ill people are evil or something. And Pharma is already unfairly villainized enough as-is, and in canon his trauma was already downplayed in favor of "haha crazy doctor chainsaw go brrr look how weird and quirky and craaaazyyy he is." So it's one of those things where 1. Most people just aren't good enough to write it and 2. "Always a little crazy" Pharma is already oversaturated enough in the fandom anyways and it's enough of a battle to get people to recognize that he's a tragic character and not just an evil asshole.

im going to [remembers i cant say kill myself] do a backflip

[crownconstellation]

so with this year’s April Fool’s event, which is themed after the Chinese Zodiac, A3! has given almost every character confirmed official birth years depending on what zodiac clan they were assigned to! these are as follows:

?????? - Guy, Azuma (they were assigned the cat, which is an unofficial / excluded zodiac sign. clever move, Liber.)

1987 (Rabbit) - Sakyo

1991 (Ram) - Homare

1992 (Monkey) - Chikage, Hisoka

1993 (Rooster) - Tsumugi

1994 (Dog) - Tasuku, Itaru

1995 (Pig) - Citron

1997 (Ox) - Omi

1998 (Tiger) - Misumi, Kazunari

1999 (Rabbit) - Tsuzuru

2000 (Dragon) - Banri, Juza

2001 (Snake) - Sakuya, Tenma, Taichi

2002 (Horse) - Masumi, Kumon

2003 (Ram) - Yuki, Muku

2004 (Monkey) - Azami

(Izumi got assigned Rat, which would be 1996, but based on canon statements about her age (her knowing Sakyo as a kid + her being the same general age as TaTsm), she’s presumably a 1992-1993 baby & she got put in Rat solely bc no one else filled that slot.)

Does anyone else find that music gives them inspiration for stories? Im working on my first game's story rn and quite a few songs have helped me figure out what i want some of the places/characters to be like

Spider Girl and 1000 Doors helped so much with thinking up a certain part of the game😭

In terms of dialogue, Ive got some dialogue options for a shopkeeper but nothing past that💔

An old classmate from highschool has become an actress and she's in a pretty popular tv show here in Greece where she plays a teenager. and it's just so wild to see while knowing what she looked like as an ACTUAL teen. She'll be 25 soon lmao 😭

Spouse and I are rewatching Schitt's Creek and during the episode where Alexis goes on Bumpkin😉 David mentions she dated all 3 Hanson brothers one summer.

Spouse: Wouldn't at least one of them be too old or too young for her? Me, a huge Hanson fan: Well, actually...

So if Alexis was born in 1987, she's only 2 years younger than Zac (he was always my favorite and I might have hugged him without permission...). Taylor was born in 1983, so he'd be 4 years older and Isaac was born in 1980, so he'd be 7 years older. Depending on how old Alexis was that summer, Zac would have probably been age appropriate, Taylor might have been borderline too old and Isaac was probably too old unless she was in her 20s.

However, Taylor got married in 2002 and Zac and Isaac both got married in 2006. That makes Alexis 15 when Taylor got married and 19 when Zac and Isaac got married. And Taylor met his wife in 2000, so Alexis would have been only 13 then.

Ok, Spouse. You're right.

I told them all this and they said, "See! They probably thought nobody would think that was gross, but I thought about it right away. I don't even know that much about them and I knew they were too spaced out enough age-wise. The math ain't mathing."

the sinus headaches are already not great but Extra Shit has been added to the pile and im just sat on that right now trying to figure out what the fuck to do

i have a lot of thoughts, and complicated ones at that, about shadow and bone season 2. but one thing i absolutely, completely hated was the weird Tolya-Inej eye contact, hinting-at-romance bullshit. and not for any kanej reasons but for the disservice it does to tolya’s character. he is one of my favourite in the entire series straight up and he’s so overlooked and is now being done so dirty. that man is so clearly aro-ace. so obviously. he talks about in the books having his poems and that being enough for him. he’s filled with so much love. just platonic love for his family; tamar, nikolai, zoya, etc. he made it so clear that he doesn’t need romantic love to be fulfilled and that is so important. and there is such a shortage of aro-ace characters anywhere that using him to like cause dramas or hurtles for a het relationship is so dirty and cheap. anyway stan aro-ace tolya and the best friendship that he and inej deserve
