I think violence is justified if the person is reeaaaalllyyyyy annoying

I just found your Itty Bitty Au and I have to say, I love how you've written Perry and the other fairies to be... just a bit selfish? How Perry won't consider turning Dev into a Fairy- not because he doesn't really care about him or thinks there's a moral issue with it, but because if he turns Dev into a fairy it'll negatively effect HIM. Also, super excited to see more of Timmy (both)!

Fairies are not like humans in that they have “Good or Bad” morals. Fairies, by nature, are extremely selfish. They don’t care for human conflicts, human goodness, or human morale.

A fairy’s first priority is doing their job right for their court, and their second priority is doing what they want most. Selfishness is innate for Fairies as Compassion is innate for Humans.

Cosmo and Wanda are outliers in that they care about their godchildren to an emotional degree. It’s what made them the best fairies to be godparents!! Peri… doesn’t understand that quite yet.

flowey and chara's relationship is always so interesting to me. when flowey absorbs everyone's souls and gains control over the timeline, he just wants to bring it all back to zero. back to when chara first fell. but he's already changed so much by that point - his and asriel's personalities and attitudes are almost complete opposites. would chara even still like him, if they met him as he was now? what if asriel's qualities that flowey buried and got rid of were what drew chara to him in the first place? what would he do if he realised that the person he is now, which was molded largely due to his past failures and regrets, is not the kind of person that chara would be fond of? what then?

Thinking the awful thought of how much worse the curse could have potentially gotten if April and Splinter had been affected somehow.....or even just. If Donnie had decided to stay at April's for a while out of the belief that maybe if he was out of the lair things would calm down. Like, would they have eventually gone looking for him because the "dying" part of the curse wasn't fulfilled yet? Would they have eventually been willing to put APRIL in harm's way because the curse made them think she was trying to protect him or something? Like the fact that this could have easily been made EVEN WORSE by just a few small things is what's gonna keep me up at night OP (pos) (Also I'm so so curious to know what the trigger to the curse starting even was, if it was a spell that was cast or something that was a small detail in the fic that nobody's picked up on yet, and if Raph Leo and Mikey even noticed anything was off or not until it was far too late. I am connecting dots that haven't even been fully connected)

dude dude dude i think about it a lot. how if donnie had stayed with april, it would have been worse (and there's a very good chance they could've lost april in the line of fire, too, if he was safe with her for a long while. the curse doesn't change their feelings on each other, it'd just have to get bad to a point where they would GENUINELY put their murderous hatred for someone above her life). how if he'd actually gotten out instead of running for his dad, it would have been worse. the curse would get worse and worse and worse until he died, and the longer it was held off, the more aggressive the treatment. the exact situation he was in saved his fucking life. raph putting his hands around his throat saved his life. that was the best possible outcome short of him being consciously aware of there BEING a curse, and he was too far gone for that to happen.

its sososososo tragic. like they're more grateful than ANYTHING with april doing what she could while they couldn't, even if she was stumbling in the dark, but that had the potential to have been dangerous and i dont even think they'll ever realize that.

Jaiden can recognize when someone else is playing Cucurucho. Just like the other Egg parents can differentiate when it's another admin playing their Egg, or if the Binary Monster is pretending to be their kid...

Begging people to stop seeing skills like compassion, care, kindness, empathy, patience, and whatever else less as inborn identities, but rather as skills. Essentializing "goodness" to the degree that you identify as kind rather than doing kind is going to destroy your self-image, but also what you think is kind.

fav kind of interaction is when a neurotypical comes up to me with "omg we are SO similar we're practically same" and then prove their point by listing off traits I only possess as a part of my masking

hold on. i’m rewatching s1 ep1 of pd right now and i know i’m freaking out over the smallest details but come here.

i know jimmy was more of a side character/throwaway npc in the grand scale of prime defenders but he’s actually insanely interesting and amazing simply because of the context he provides narratively, mostly for the setting they live in and for dakota’s character. in ep1, he talks about dakota not being on the soccer team this year, and dakota mentions how “something happened over the summer, and i just don’t think it’d be fair [for me to play anymore].” this is a really good use of chekhov’s gun on dakota’s behalf (referencing his whole heart procedure), but also it got me thinking more about pre-canon dakota.

it’s established in the first episode that dakota and jimmy already know each other, and that dakota was going to centurion high as just a normal student before he met will and vyncent. given this context, and also the fact that dakota and katori were also implied to have been going to the same school when they were friends, i think it just gives dakota so much more texture and backstory when you Know everything else about him.

specifically it makes me think about dakota’s relationship with katori, and how he described her as “just another kid who was trying to get away from something, too.” i think that katori was kindhearted but pretty socially awkward, and thus was likely a target for being picked on by kids like jimmy, which explains dakota’s “strategy” of sorts where he acts friendly towards bullies and tries to defuse situations if possible, but if they won’t stop nagging on his friends then he’s usually throwing the first punch.

he was probably protective of katori since she was his closest friend, and this kind of thing reflects really well in episode 1 with his defending of william from that same bullying. i think that entire defense, combined with him trying to shoulder the grief/guilt of what happened to katori mere months before canon, as well as his likely anger because jimmy probably didn’t even notice when she was there or that she was gone because to him she was just “another random dweeb” (and the fact he doesn’t really care enough about dakota to notice either) is just. it’s a lot of amazing, semi-accidental context and texture and characterization added to this story and this setting that is so amazing. dakota shone so much in season 1 because the setting was his home; he was the only one in pd familiar with the city and the people within it. and this is known, and it’s used so brilliantly to tie into his backstory and his family and his relationship with his aunt. i just think it’s really neat

"damian is a murder and an assasin!" "Hes a sociopath" "he killed Dick!"

hes a little guy. he's just a wee lad. he literally looks like this

you failed to grasp the bare fundamentals of what it means to be human and you should not be allowed to spread your dereliction on the masses

NORTHERN EXPOSURE 3.12 “Our Tribe”

[jinkieswouldyoulookatthis]

Sam is stubborn and outwardly reserved, holding his emotions in check. It’s a trait he learned at a young age. His dad and brother were emotional people, prone to explosions and maudlin moods, but they valued strength and stoicism above all else and would tease at any softness they found. By the time Sam was thirteen he knew better than to let slip in front of them. By the time he was seventeen he didn’t let slip even when he was alone. Instead he learned to dissect his emotions intellectually, to pick them apart and puzzle them out like they were a riddle that needed solving rather than letting them run their course. It was fucked up and unhealthy, but so was his life. As a grown man, he lived through or came back from trauma that would land most people in permanent psychiatric care and still he rarely breaks down. He flinches at certain types of noises, at fast or violent movements, he has nightmares that make him keen and weep in his sleep, and occasionally he sinks so deeply into flashbacks that he loses himself for hours. But even as a teenager he didn’t just burst into tears. Sure, he’d get so frustrated and angry that he’d end up with tears blurring his eyes sometimes, but that’s not the same as crying, not to him, even if his dad and brother would occasionally still give him shit for it. But he didn’t call them out on how soft and sad they’d get when either of them were three quarters of the way to the bottom of a bottle. At least not unless he was feeling particularly spiteful. Because that’s another thing about Sam, he seemingly exists for long stretches of time on a heady concoction of stubbornness and caffeine seasoned with a dash or two of raw spite. He has survived what would put most people six feet underground permanently because he’s got something to prove. And he is capable of literally walking through Hell and back to prove that he can, proving it to his brother and the rest of the world, but mostly proving it to himself. Proving that he IS good, that he does more good than bad, and that he cares enough to keep at it despite everything going against him. And even though he knows that showing emotions (or even just having emotions) doesn't equal weakness, he struggles with expressing them outside of an intellectualized way. He struggles with allowing himself to be vulnerable because vulnerability IS a weakness, one that can be disastrous.

i thought about it some more and while i hated the epilogue and despise the choice of killing toga i think horikoshi did an amazing job with ochako's conclusion. she fully became her own person apart from izuku and truly fought to spark some change in society. to me she's the greatest hero among all of them. she's what everyone should strive to be.
