#ahhhhhh rambling again sorry

[foxgloveinspace]

Going off my post from yesterday,

Yes, this means that Fall For Me is a rebellious song.

It’s a song that is Vessels last attempt at getting Sleep to listen to him, to try and give them equal standing in their agreement/relationship.

After Fall For Me, the ablum/story shifts to Vessel slowly giving into why Sleep wants (if we are going by my theory, Vessel becoming Sleeps perfect weapon and disciple/‘savor’).

Only Vore has screamed lyrics so far in TMBTE, but all of the songs are very tongue in cheek about how rebellious they actually are, except Vore. Vore is definitely about questioning Sleep’s motivations.

We already know that in this story there are other gods, Vessel has mentioned them a few times. I wonder if Sleep needs a weapon, Vessel, because of something to do with these gods?

Ugh...I can't stop thinking about movie!Shadow

Sonic 3 spoilers under the read more.

I really can't stop thinking about the fact that losing Maria made Shadow full on suicidal. Not vengeful and angry, like game Shadow. Suicidal.

He knew full well, from the start, that Gerald's plan was to destroy the earth, and kill them both along with it. He didn't care who was used or hurt along the way to reach this goal (at least, not until he witnessed Sonic's distress over Tom, and it occurred to him that he was causing others to feel the same grief he was feeling. I think that hit him in a way he wasn't expecting), highlighted by him witnessing Gerald using Ivo and not saying a word, even though he also knew Ivo was Gerald's other grandchild.

His insistence at Sonic to end him on the moon really solidified that, because he knew it didn't matter in the end. Either Sonic killed him, or the Eclipse Canon would.

When he lost Maria, the only being to have ever showed him kindness (I'm not going to count Gerald because they got no on screen time together before Maria's death), he lost his will to live along with any spark of hope he had to find another living being who he could connect with.

I like to think that speaking with Sonic, and reflecting on his feelings of regret for hurting Tom, made him realize that perhaps he could find someone who knew and understood his pain. Someone he could connect with and would show him the modicum of kindness he needed to keep living.

And then when Ivo revealed that even though they stopped the canon, it wouldn't matter in the end, because earth would still be doomed...I don't think he was suicidal anymore. I think he wanted to try to live, but giving everyone else the chance to move on and be happy became the bigger priority. He wanted others to have the life Maria didn't get to experience.

I like movie Shadow, because he's a very different take on how grief can affect someone. He's angry at the world, but he turned that angry towards himself and became self destructive. In that vein, I really hope that in the fourth movie, he finds someone who is kind to him. I hope he gets a guardian who will see him for the hurting, broken child he is, and try to show him all the good in the world that he didn't get to see while trapped in a hidden mountain facility.

I love the hurt/amnesic Shadow trope, but I really want to see him get to be happy in the fourth movie, while helping Team Sonic save the world again.

Ahhhhhh, yeah. Sorry for the nonsense ramble.

I'm hoping to write a nice Stone adopting Shadow fic while I've got a few days off for the holidays. We'll see.

Letting Her Hair Down

“Sarah! You have to help me! I don’t have much time, she’ll take over again any minute. You have to find a way to destroy my ponytail. It’s the reason I’ve become a bully and a bitch and… and… ohhhh no I can feel her taking over again ahhhhhh…. Sarah? What do you want loser? I have places to be. God you’re such a tragic fashion case.”

Sarah looked at Chloe, the resident queen bee of high school and her former dorky friend, with confusion. One minute had been walking down the hall looking like the poster child for being an entitled princess, the next second she slipped and banged her head on the ground.

Sarah being the good person that she was rushed over to help her back up when Chloe started rambling about her ponytail being evil and controlling her. Had she just been pranked by Chloe with this insane story? Then again it did make some sort of sense. Before Chloe had had her bitch makeover she had been a kind and reserved girl, with an underdeveloped body but a good heart. But ever since she got back from her vacation sporting her new bougie and haughty look, with bolted on big tits and a piercing hot stare, she had been a terror to everyone, especially Sarah. Could it be all because of her ponytail? Sarah needed to find out but for now she had to play dumb.

“Oh sorry Chloe it was nothing.” Sarah said sheepishly. Chloe rolled her eyes and pushed Sarah out of the way and left.

As Chloe sauntered off, Sarah's mind raced with thoughts. She couldn't let her former friend suffer in this bizarre predicament. Determination filled her, and she made up her mind to investigate further. If there was any truth to Chloe's claims, she had to find a way to help her break free from the ponytail's grip.

Determined to find answers, Sarah delved into researching anything and everything about hair that could control someone. That’s when she came across the Hairasite.

According to the legend, hairasites were parasitic organisms that resembled strands of hair but possessed a malevolent consciousness. They were known to attach themselves to unsuspecting hosts, taking control of their minds and manipulating their behavior. Sarah's heart skipped a beat as she read accounts of women exhibiting striking similarities to Chloe's transformation.

She discovered that the hairasite's control over its host could be severed by severing its physical connection. The only solution was to cut off the strand of hair hosting the parasite and destroy it completely.

With her newfound knowledge, Sarah formulated a plan to free Chloe from the hairasite's grip. She knew she had to get Chloe alone, away from prying eyes, to execute her daring rescue mission. After careful consideration, she decided to trick Chloe with an offer she couldn't refuse—a coveted invitation to an exclusive fashion event.

Sarah knew Chloe's new vanity would be her downfall. She crafted a fake invitation to a fictitious cheerleader fashion showcase, one that would lure Chloe into a private dressing room on the far side of school where Sarah could safely carry out her plan. The invitation, complete with glamorous details and a promise of VIP treatment, was carefully slipped into Chloe's locker.

As Chloe entered the private dressing room, her eyes which had been full of anticipation soon turned sour as she saw nothing but an empty room. Then she heard the door behind her click as it was locked.

As Chloe turned around to see what was happening, Sarah pounced. With a surge of strength, Sarah lunged at Chloe, grabbing her by the shoulders and wrestling her to the ground. They grappled with each other, their struggle fueled by a mix of desperation and the raw determination of friendship.

“Oh I am going to enjoy getting revenge on you when I get out of here.” Chloe said with a bone chilling laugh as she fought back fiercely, getting the upper hand. Sarah could feel the hairasite's influence giving Chloe’s body strength. But Sarah refused to give up. With a final burst of energy, she managed to pin Chloe down and swiftly reached for a pair of scissors.

In one smooth motion, Sarah snipped the ponytail clean off Chloe's head, severing the hairasite's connection to its host. The air crackled with tension as the room fell into a stunned silence. Sarah watched in wonder as Chloe’s body started to revert back to normal. Her kind soft face emerging from the cruel sharp facade it had once been. Her too nearly slipping off her as her breasts deflated and her height shrank. Disheveled and panting, she stared at Sarah with wide eyes, realization dawning upon her.

Chloe's gratitude poured forth as she regained her senses, her voice trembling with emotion. "Sarah, thank you... thank you for saving me from that nightmare. I don't know what I would've become without you."

However, as Chloe expressed her heartfelt gratitude, a sinister voice slithered into Sarah's mind, intertwining with her thoughts. "Sarah, dear Sarah, I underestimated you," the hairasite hissed, its voice silky and persuasive. "Imagine the power you could possess, the beauty you could radiate if I had chosen you and not Chloe. Join me, embrace me, and together we will rule this world."

Sarah's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked down at her hand to see she was gripping the ponytail she had snipped off Chloe’s head. She watched it’s tendrils reach for her like a weak newborn. Chloe's voice became distant, muffled by the seductive promises echoing in her mind.

The hairasite's voice grew louder, insidious and persuasive. "Sarah, don't you want to be admired? Don't you want to be noticed and feared? You have the power within you. Just embrace me, and we will become unstoppable."

As Sarah grappled with her inner turmoil, she locked eyes with Chloe, desperately trying to maintain her connection to reality. Deep down, she knew she had to find a way to rid herself of the hairasite's influence, but it was becoming harder by the second to not succumb to its alluring promises.

Chloe noticed the change in Sarah's demeanor, her concern deepening. "Sarah, what's wrong? You feeling ok?"

Ignoring the hairasite's relentless persuasion, Sarah took a deep breath and locked eyes with Chloe. "I need to destroy this hairasite once and for all. I have to get to the teachers lounge." Without another word Sarah unlocked the door and ran as fast as she could to the boiler room.

As Sarah's heart pounded with determination, the hairasite's voice grew more desperate. "Sarah, don't you see? I can give you power, beauty, everything you've ever wanted. We can become an even bigger bitch than Chloe was. We can bully her just like she did to you."

Sarah knew she needed to end this fast as she was starting to get turned on by the thoughts the hairasite was putting in her mind. Images of her commanding a clique of beta bitches to do her bidding and lording it over Chloe was making her unbelievably wet.

Breathing heavily, Sarah burst through the door of the teachers lounge, thankfully empty. She saw her goal though, the disused and often forgot about fireplace. With a trembling hand, built a small pyre of sticks and lit a fire beneath and watched the flames dance around and consume the wood, hungry for more.

The hairasite's voice intensified, filled with urgency as it tried one last ditch effort. "You can be in control!" It said as Sarah was one swing away from destroying it forever.

Sarah's hand paused mid-swing, uncertainty etching across her face. She turned to face the hairasite, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. "You have 15 seconds, explain."

The hairasite seized this opportunity, its voice dripping with convincing charm. "Absolutely, Sarah. I took full control of Chloe because she was boring and dull and had no interest in being a bitch but you… you I can sense want it. You crave it. You want to possess unparalleled dominance over those who have ever underestimated you. I don’t need to control you if you’re lust for the same things I do. Just me on your head, and I'll grant you the power you desire."

Hesitation clung to Sarah's every fiber, but the allure of control tugged at her deepest desires. The longing to be noticed, respected, and feared intensified within her. Swallowing her doubts, she cautiously lifted the severed ponytail, gingerly placing it atop her head.

As the hairasite made contact with Sarah's scalp, a sharp jolt coursed through her body. She winced, feeling the hairasite burrowing deeper, intertwining itself with her being. A surge of power rippled through her veins, and she could feel her entire existence beginning to transform.

As the hairasite's influence surged through Sarah's veins, her transformation continued with astonishing speed and detail. Her nails, once short and plain, elongated into sharp, perfectly manicured talons. Each nail shimmered with a deep shade of crimson, perfectly complementing her newfound allure.

Her makeup shifted dramatically, reflecting the captivating charm the hairasite bestowed upon her. Her eyes were accentuated with smoky, seductive eyeshadow, emphasizing their piercing intensity. Thick, luscious lashes framed her gaze, fluttering with a hypnotic allure. Her cheeks radiated a soft rosy blush, enhancing her flawless, tan complexion.

Her skin took on a sun-kissed glow, a subtle tan that exuded the vibrant energy of a cheerleader on the field. It enhanced her already alluring features, lending an air of radiant confidence that demanded admiration.

Sarah's lips transformed into a pout that demanded attention. They became plump and sensuous, painted in a vibrant shade of pink, adding to her irresistible charm. Each word that escaped her now-glossed lips would drip with a confident magnetism, captivating those who dared to listen.

In addition, her breasts seemed to have defied gravity, becoming more ample and accentuated, drawing attention to her newfound confidence. Her figure, now curvaceous and alluring, would command attention from all who laid eyes upon her.

Sarah's demeanor shifted entirely. Once a kind and compassionate soul, she now exuded an aura of dominance and entitlement. Her voice carried a sharp edge, dripping with venomous superiority. Her posture adopted an air of confident dominance. Her eyes sparkled with an icy gaze that dared anyone to challenge her.

Sarah had become the embodiment of the hairasite's promises—a captivating, powerful force that would leave a trail of both admiration and fear in her wake. As she surveyed her transformed reflection in a nearby mirror, a wicked smile spread across her face.

As she twirled a lock of her glossy, transformed hair between her fingertips, Sarah couldn't help but revel in the newfound attention she would undoubtedly receive. She was now a force to be reckoned with, leaving a trail of admirers and envious gazes in her wake.

As Chloe cautiously entered the teachers lounge, her eyes widened in shock at the sight before her. Standing there, radiating confidence and exuding an aura of dominance, was the transformed Sarah. Her gaze turned icy, and a unnerving smile curled upon her lips as she locked eyes with Chloe.

"Well, well, well," Sarah sneered, her voice dripping with cruelty. "Look who decided to follow. Surprised to see the new me?"

Chloe stumbled backward, her voice trembling. "You let her go! It’s me you want, she doesn’t deserve this! Fight it Sarah, don't let this control you!"

A mocking laughter escaped Sarah's lips as she relished in Chloe's bewildered expression. "Oh, Chloe, I’m not being controlled by anyone or anything expect my long buried desires. It's time you realized that power and beauty is all I’ve ever wanted. I've shed my former self, and I won't be held back by weak friendships anymore."

Chloe's eyes welled up with tears, hurt and confusion etched across her face. "No! You’re lying! I don’t believe you! Give me my friend back!"

Sarah's expression hardened, devoid of empathy. “Friend? That's amusing. I have no use for the weak and pitiful. And just to prove it’s me, how about I let my hair down?”

Sarah reached up to the ponytail tie and pulled it. Her blonde hair cascaded down and flowed hypnotically with every sway. She ran her perfectly manicured fingers through her locks, feeling a pleasurable tingle.

“See? There is no hairasite anymore. No Sarah. We are one cruel, manipulative and sexy bitch called Sasha and you’re just a loser nobody who could of had it all but now you’re just in my way.”

With those cutting words, Sasha pushed past Chloe, leaving her standing there, shattered and betrayed. The transformed Sasha reveled in her newfound power, savoring the control she now held over Chloe's emotions, and soon the rest of the school.

So glad that some of your own favorite lines in house song are some of mine as well.

Ive said before how much I love that whole scene in the snow but when I tell you that part where dean wails "daddy please" is SEARED INTO MY BRAIN.

Sometimes I'm just going about my day and then get punched in the face with the reminder that that specific scene exists UGHHH.

I just need you to know that i think that part is SO WELL WRITTEN and is probably my favorite part in the whole fic(that entire snow scene is really but ESPECIALLY that part) and I just wanted to gush about it again because as a reader it makes me INSANE. THE WAY YOU CAPTURED THEIR DESPERATION AND VOICES!!!!! But also as a WRITER. I legitimately really REALLY admire the way you write out desperation and agony in all your fics, but that one holds sooo much emotion and the absolute talent to be able to set the scene that way, to the point where I felt like I was watching a movie. Amazing

OK ILL STOP. This was meant to be a quick ask just telling you I liked that snippet too and I ended up fangirling IM SORRY.

You don't have to answer this ask btw, I just wrote it because I wanted to once again ramble how good that scene is(I'm not satisfied I literally can't express how insane I am about that scene lol). ❤️

hi, ari!!!! OH MY GOD???? AHHHHHH thank you so so so so so much!!! i wanted to take the time to respond to this, since you were so incredibly kind to take the time to send it!!

i am SO glad you liked the snow scene; i think it's one of the scenes i'm proudest of as a writer, but i remember being really worried in the moment that it was too weird or OOC. but folks have been super encouraging and lovely about it, which i am so wildly grateful for.

i am so honoured you like how i write emotion!! omg?? as evidenced by every single fic i have ever written, i'm a big fan of Big/Conflicting Emotions and Big Scenes about them, and i am so pleased that it comes across well.

i am kissing you on both cheeks!! you are so so so so sweet and kind to send this in!! my week has been made, and you've given me the strength/motivation to keep wrestling with this WIP that i've been working on. 💪

[just-a-carrot]

I apologize if this ask is a little suggestive in nature, but it’s something to do with something mentioned iggy’s epilogue with genzou’s route

iggy mentions that as they stay together, iggy’s boundaries tend to change on what he feels comfortable with on the day to day basis (which I assume also means somewhat sexually…? please correct me if I’m completely off base here)

and I was wondering if he would feel that same level of comfortability with gidget and orlam in their routes to do that as well with them and have that dynamic and levels of comfortability towards those things with them or if it’s only genzou specific? I’m simply just curious on how that would translate to other routes (if it does), you 100% do not need to go into more detail than you’re comfortable with

ahhhhhh... you'll have to forgive me for being a bit vague with this. both because i'm not super comfortable talking about it in detail to begin with, but particularly on main like this in this environment

i will say though for instance that i wrote that specifically in the genzy epilogue because in my head their dynamic is quite different from the others. well, all three of them have quite different dynamics from each other!!! (which is part of why they're all so interesting to me in different ways lol) but in particular in regards to this, it was something i felt would be a more prominent aspect to the genzy dynamic while it wouldn't be in the others because in gidget's route it's more of an ambiguous polyamorous relationship and in orlam's route i personally see it as a QPR with orlam also seeing other people

(edit: also adding on here that it felt particularly important to bring up as part of the genzy dynamic because it's the only one where iggy doesn't figure out he's ace before the relationship begins -- meaning he's still figuring himself out as part of the relationship itself -- whereas in the other two, he's already realized he's ace and has figured a lot more out about himself before the relationships began to form)

HAVING SAID THAT i would never ever dictate how others want to see things or interpret things or how they want to imagine any of the dynamics for any of the chars and pairings. it's part of why i left the epilogues somewhat ambiguous and open for interpretation to begin with. because i don't want to specifically define exactly everything about them or their futures. i would much rather have people come up with their own more-specific headcanons for the relationships that they enjoy based on the foundation of the epilogues. and that's why in general i tend to give somewhat wishy-washy answers when it comes to anything about the epilogues, as i'd rather leave much of them up to interpretation so that people can enjoy them however they like

i hope this was ok. sorry again for the rather vague rambly answer lol

[fluffyhellspawn]

Did you have a meta about the oil lamps in the house Dean and Cas were staying in during Free to be You and Me? I was looking for it, and I couldn't find it. I think it was you.

Oh! Yea!!!! I don't think they're oil lamps, though. They're cheap electric/camping-looking ones.

Funnily enough, I needed to be thinking about this for a THING I"m doing, so thanks for bringing it up.

It's here!

The lantern and the bottle. GAH. Now that I look at this again, there's really just SO MUCH gorgeous "family" house-related Dean-Cas motifs in this stupid episode, I am dying!!!

...

Dean waiting up for Cas with a prominent "spouse" chair in the living room, followed by Dean snapping, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN"

It's the overtones, babes, the undertones!

//

There's an unlit "Cas" lantern, and Dean is represented by refreshments/drink (and prominently by a burnt-out hearth).

This Cas lantern may not be lit on its own, but it's being constantly lit by nature, by GREEN and SUNLIGHT.

The vase that Cas gets to trap Raphael represents Raphael himself, and how they are luring him into a "vessel."

//

Dean and the burnt-out HEARTH and BEER! <3

//

Cas-lantern; Dean-bottle

///

"Two lovers coming home later at night:"

It's night, and the lanterns are now on. Cas is so often associated with WAYFINDING (as is Dean).

///

Here the living room "date/new couple nook" is under attack! Despite the harsh wind, the lantern and beer stand strong

Cas-lantern; Dean-bottle AHHHHHH

sorry for rambling...again

[every-single-day]

I've been reading a lot of Lovecraft as of late, I suppose that's where the copious amount of description derives from. 😅

[sillyfudgemonkeys]

I mean, given that P5D flopped and Atlus stopped making dancing games but kept/keeps on making P5 spinoffs I'm doubtful that Atlus would make tactics games whether P5T does good or bad (plus I feel like its every other time I hear about it I hear a persona fan mentioning they're not a fan of tactics games so it's def not just a thing on this blog)

Hahahaaaaaa......yeah............

Tbf I don't see a REASON for a dancing game atm. That's more of a game to celebrate the music (or throw it in the trash and set it on fire like P5D did, RIP to P5D you shouldn't have come out when you did)

Also tbf PQ2 didn't sell THAT much better (I think the sales were fairly within what Atlus is/was used to tho? only like 20000 less....then again that might've been OLD data I was looking at). And there hasn't been a Q game since....but tbf Atlus isn't popping them out AS FAST as when they were having their P4 era. (we almost got like 3 games in one year? TT0TT god everything was moving so fast in that era)

Probably cause of quality contr-I can't even finish that sentence.

Ahem. Probably cause of scope maybe.........except PQ2 was roughly the same story length as PQ1......or at least ONE SIDE of a PQ1 playthrough (tho some bits of PQ1 did repeat on each side, A LOT didn't). (there's also the fact they released it on a dying/dead console ahhhhhh, unrelated to scope but still TT0TT)

Uhhhh ummmmm, oh! P3/5D! Right- no I notoriously lambast them for CUTTING content that a single P4D could handle. Half the "story" and less songs. (of course this is considering P3D, P5D, and P4D all separate games on their own....which they are....and were sold as...................separate games......full price....games.....)

Ok ok Strikers! Yes Strikers. That had the scope that matched/exceeded Arena/Ultimax.... at least story wise. But....no one talks about Strikers for some reason. I thought y'all where hyped??????? It seemed to have sold well, but I dunno if that means it's liked..... (I have a VERY small sample size, but outside myself, all the people I've talked to IRL said they hated P5S TT0TT)

Wait why am I bringing this up? Maybe it's cause I miss the P4 era. TT0TT ajfksjf;d

Oh! No no, it's that, P5S is like the most successful P5 spinoff imo (didn't look at the sales but I think it might be the best selling Persona spinoff in general)....but we also haven't had a P5S2, or DLC for it (surprisingly/unfortunately), or another Persona game just like it (like P1S or Raidou S or yadda yadda).

That being said.......P5S was made with another company so....yeah...... that could be why jfsdljafdsakj

Unlike P5S, Dancing and Qs are made in house, P5T is too? I haven't been paying attention. TT0TT It could be they are just focused on T and...."Asa"? and P3R and/or something else. So that could explain the lack of another dancing game (or Q). Plus, again, the dancing games are more of a celebration. I can see a P5D2 happening as we get closer to P6 tbh (if not a P3/4/5D PS5+others port). (and I'm sure they are figuring out how to port Q to other places now they don't have the dual screen). I dunno, this part went on longer than I thought @_@ Just woke up and I'm rambly sorry

I mean Atlus has had the chance to do another Tactics game for years with the DeSu franchise, and those aren't even connected/have to be connected in a single timeline! And people are still waiting on 3! TT0TT So yeah I can see them just dropping it orz

(Yeah I've asked others IRL and they weren't exactly excited either TT0TT Tbh as long as I get another version of this artstyle again I'm fine with that, doesn't need to be a Tactics game.)

[bellysoupset]

HIII

OKAY IM BACK AND THIS WILL BE ME FAN(GORL/BOI?)ING ABOUT YOUR LATEST TWO FICS BECAUSE????? THEY'RE AMAZING + THE WENDY CONTENT IS SO TOP TIER AND SO VERY MUCH APPRECIATED <3

okay so starting with the wendy/vin food poisoning fic AHHHHHH oh my GOODNESS, THE ANGST!?!?! literally obsessed. it actually was a little to real (i literally sat and stared at the wall for a full hour)(im not exaggerating). it was so angsty and painful in the best way ever omg 😭 first off the sickfic part was CHEFFS KISS and I LOVED IT SM like how sudden and messy and miserable it was + vin being so sweet AGH <3333 and then the angsty part hit a lil TOO close like idek how to explain it but it was just so REAL? & thats why the ending was so painful- sometimes your partner can be the sweetest thing ever and create this super safe space and say all the right things to comfort you and the fact that sometimes that's NOT ENOUGH to help you believe it and fully accept the love is so painfully real??? and the way you portrayed that was so perfect UGH 😭 and i know (been there done that) it's so frustrating on BOTH ends and it's SO HARD to work through, but the patience and reassurance can literally heal so much with time and GOSH i felt so seen by this fic (and also horny lmaoooo <3333) and idk what to say other than GODDAMN IM OBSESSED WITH YOUR WRITING AND YOUR OCs AND AGH YOU'RE SO FREAKING TALENTED SOUP!!!

then as for the leo+wendy fic AHHHHH i'm pretty sure i was the other anon who requested this a while back (before i started the lil otter signature xd) and IM SO GLAD YOU WROTE IT AYEEEE <333333 i LOOOOVE that leo is finally warming up to wendy and wanting to get to know her and being softer but also i love the constant/continuous banter AHHHH omg and the way she realises when he's getting upset and feeling sicker and immediately goes soft and gentle and helps him while also not making it weird :') and GOSH the way they were having this SUPER NECESSARY convo in the midst of ✨the action✨ was such great writing!! and also the way you made them both softer while keeping them 100% on character is such a slay WAH this was so good omfg

ANYWAYS that's all my rambling so sorry it's SO long lmao i just LOVE these characters so much and i love your work and wanted to express my admiration (again) hehe 🤭🫡

KEEP SLAYING <333333

-🦦

Otter!!!

I never wanna publish your asks, just entering tumblr and going in my askbox gives me INSANE amounts of serotonin

IDEK what to say to all this other than i'll be printing and pasting it in my little scrapbook. I really LOVE that you're a Wendy fan, it makes writing for her soooo much fun 💛💛💛 And yeah, the first angst def hit a little too close to home here too, especially the frustrating part where it really doesn't matter what anyone else says, if you're not convinced of it.

I'm looking forward to writing more for them!

Hi again. Last one I swear, justice for Lucy indeed. And Timothy!

But I guess what I was getting at was that Homelander is a lot like Frankenstein's monster (Adam).

Adam never asked to be made and never managed to choose what he wanted to be. He was brought into the world and immediately abandoned (Victor was a TERRIBLE mother.), but when Adam finally found people, they treated him like a monster despite never getting a choice or even doing much, and eventually, he gave in to becoming the monster he knew people would believe him to be and just embraced what he was given. But it still was never a choice.

Alternatively, Shrek has a great line for this: "People take one look at me and go 'ahhhhhh, help, run! A big stupid ugly ogre'... They judge me before they even know me..."

That can actually apply to both Billy and Homelander in a weird sort of... Way. But there are complexities in both of Homelander's names is what it all boils down to I think, because there are complexities that are divisive of who he is. He doesn't hate his name in itself. He hates how people used it against him. He latches onto 'Homelander' because it hides that perceived weakness.

If Billy found that out, it would be a pretty powerful weapon... Not because it's causing panic attacks or flash backs... But because there would be no fear behind him saying it. Think about his baby blanket reaction. It caused a flashback to a considerably happy moment but he reacted terribly. It was a comfort held during a terrible time, so there's still emotional attachment and longing for that comfort while simultaneously there is disdain and expectation of people to take advantage of that or disrupt that comfort. Feelings of fear and longing both come into play, much like in any trauma bonded relationship like the one he has with Vought.

Where you long for something so badly, you hide it from the world, but you just can't let go of it... After all, he didn't have Mystique's reaction, lol. (She promptly just said she 'doesn't answer to her slave name' upon being called 'Raven', her birth name in one of the earlier x-men films.)

But it doesn't... Have to be that way (of course, that takes an immense amount of working up to and healing...).

Again though, thanks for the responses, sorry I ramble so much. This is the kinda thing I end up thinking about a lot... Apart from the milk shit unfortunately for me.

... Extremely gross side note for me, but Madelyn also often called him 'My sweet boy' and 'My good boy' which elicited GREAT reactions from him and was probably also used to manipulate him as a child. And I don't want to think about that. But I also can not not think about that. Homelander's gotta be the world's oldest grooming victim with that shit... I'm so sorry for that especially if you like Homewell, I get the self indulgence and comfort that can come from toxic relationships in fiction but that one's just a bit much for me.

Anon I am so sorry I forgot to post this 😭

And man my feelings on Homewell are.... complicated. Madelyn is horrible and I do love a fictional toxic relationship, but she hurt him so fucking badly and it honestly breaks my heart. And knowing how she was with Homelander and the fact that she knows how the supes are treated (all of them are manipulated in some way or another)... it really kind of squicks me that she chose to give Teddy the V too.

That said, Madelyn is also responsible for some of the hottest scenes we have of Homelander so I really can't be that mad 😭

Hey, uhm... I saw your Duolingo Japanese post while going through the Duo tag.

Sorry for just…rambling here? But I had the same issue until I found a text-book that called attention to the "ko-so-a-do System". It just states that 'こ' (ko) is for things closer to you than the person you're talking to. 'そ' (so) for things that are closer to the speaker than they are to you, 'あ' (a) for things that are neither close to you or the speaker and 'ど' (do) as a means to build most questions. I simply rely on recounting "here, there, nowhere, where?" with the "ko-so-a-do" when in doubt. It really helped me separating them from another. For the second bit regarding the 'endings': (kore/sore/are) are means to describe things/objects, (koko/soko/asoko) describes a location. Additionally, they'll introduce '-の' in a bit, which builds (kono,sono,ano), those describe something or someone [the something is more conceptual things, unlike the '-こ' endings that describe physical objects.] Somehow seeing all of that like that in a random textbook; Simplified & ready to just be seen as 'ko-so-a-do" was just eye-opening for myself and I thought maybe it'll help you too? Who knows, best of luck with Duo, tho.

AHHHHH that’s actually such a big help omg thank you so much!!! i wish Duolingo had stuff like this to make it easier to differentiate things instead of just shoving a few rules at u and then throwing u into lessons 😭 like this is really easy to remember ahhhhhh omg…thank u again!!! it was kind of u to help out 🥰

this is so silly and niche but i need to shout. no but s1 ep 6 of nuwho “dalek” I CAN SEE DENNIS REYNOLDS IN THERE HES IN THERE I KNOW IT !!!!!! i’m trying to be sooo cool and casual because i always end up rambling ab nine + the time war BUT . you’d make a good dalek. the dalek being weak and alone waiting for commands i fed off the energy of rose tyler literally saying she regenerated it the dalek & doctor parallels. the dalek being dennis’ hard exterior the person he pretends to be the walls he’s built up around himself that nobody can see into. dennis stuck in fight or flight and he does both ! a lot ! over the show specifically s11-15. nine being dennis inside being big feels being the person hes afraid to be in public. rose could be mac or mandy or maureen or anyone really. them arguing and rationalising revealing things about the war. how all the daleks are DEAD there’s nothing left to fight for there’s NO ONE left to fight for and win as. “if you want orders, follow this one. kill yourself” “the daleks must survive” “the daleks have failed. why don’t you finish the job and make the daleks extinct. did the universe of ur filth. why don’t you just DIE?” …… “you would make a good dalek” HELLO ?????????? EXPLODES. it’s so good. i’m not talking ab nine and the war i can’t i’m too annoying ab it. but can u see dennis reynolds because i can. first ninerose trip he takes her to see her planet burn because he wants someone to know even slightly how he feels. the doctor dances just this once everybody lives AHHHHHH i get sooooooooo annoying ab it my fav fav fav ever theres so much there. sorry i’m just rambling but. i could save the world but lose you. rose not making it out running away from the dalek. it wasn’t ur fault remeber that okay. and you know what i wouldn’t have missed it for the world. dalek trying to kill rose thinking ab killing her. i said i’d protect her she’s only here because of me and you’re sorry. you’re about as far from the stars as you could get. and you took her down with you. THE DALEK DOESNT KILL ROSE ! threatening to kill . it’s my purpose. but it doesn’t !!!!!!! i feel ur fear. evolving feeling emotions. LETTING FEELINGS IN. rose regenerated me. contaminated. I HAVE BIG FEELINGS!!! you’re alive / can’t get rid of me. long live macdennis. this isn’t my usual dw analysis or vision this is sunny lens specific. the rpg …… rose i’m begging you don’t kill him like you didn’t kill me but why are you alive what am i evolving !!! breaking the shell !!!! i can see dennis reynolds in the clouds in blades of grass etc. don’t do it don’t kill him you don’t have to do this anymore !!! you don’t have to keep running away. i want freedom ! i want to stop and be stationary !!!!!!!!! shooting a hole in the roof. you’re out. you made it. never thought i’d feel the sunlight again. how does it feel. opening up the hard shell battle exterior. there’s a creature in there ! feeling the sunlight. nine is back! angry and fighting !!!!! he needs to end the war it needs to have meant something he’s got nothing left. recovery isn’t linear. what the hell are you changing into. i couldn’t… i wasnt ….. oh rose they’re all dead . why do we survive. i can’t talk ab the war i can’t. why do we survive. i don’t know. rose did more than regenerate you. changing being something new and worthwhile isn’t good for the daleks. it’s not life. not life as you think it should be. killing yourself trying to be someone else. shouting orders as a husk of yourself a shadow of a shadow. balls! sorry. i can SEE you dennis reynolds. i know where you are. little piece of home, better than nothing. i’m the only one left, i win. how do u know there’s no one left - in here, feels alone. DENNIS REYNOLDSSSSSSSS. what are you doing standing inside a box. it’s bigger on the inside
