fucking haunting night. like really don’t know if or when i’m going to be able to sleep. but at least the guy i’m talking to on grindr seems cool :/
#if i think too much abt the things we (my friends not this guy) talked abt tonight i am going to want to cry#except i can’t cry bc i repressed my ability to ten years ago and never got it back#so i just feel sort of fucked up and hollow#but i gotta take the silver linings where i can & i was worried i scared this guy off but no we seem to be really compatible#and he has a nice personality so far#but yeah i. man. i think three out of four of us had panic attacks across the night#mine was borderline but i could not stop shaking and i was dissociating#and if i think too much abt what one of them told me abt his car accident i Will spiral and start breaking down#just. absolutely fucking broke my heart. i am so fucking glad he survived unscathed. that’s all#also really cannot fucking hear abt hazing and did not need to hear the details of this really gruesome incident and. jesus just thinking#- abt it makes me sick. a lot of what we talked abt makes me feel sick we really ran the gambit#but like. shit is in a dark place that is just the reality of where we all are :(#ted talks

Hi I have caught up to you on having feelings about Zhuzhi-Lang. He's a good boy! 🥺 Good snake boy! 🥺 I had the thought, after Zhuzhi let SQQ leave after SQQ yelled at him... what if they Stole Him. What if.
(Also have you read/been recommended anything by corduroyserpent yet? Big writer of Zhuzhi-Lang fics, including a very cute de-aged Zhuzhi-Lang and some zhushen)
Justifications of bride-stealing!
(AND HE'S THE BEST BOY 😭 I LOVE HIM SO MUCH, SO MUCH!! have some further au thoughts because this has contaminated my brain...)
What I think would actually happen if they stole SQQ? Absolutely nothing good for anyone, LBH would Lose His Fucking Mind xD as a more interesting answer though, I like the idea that Shen "Pedantic Nitpicky Asshole" Qingqiu's primary point of argument is that he is not a bride so he cannot be "bridenapped" regardless of demonic tradition or intention!
This eventually leads to them all completely avoiding the Maigu Ridge incident because TLJ realizes that, somehow, SQQ doesn't realize the depths of his son's feelings for him and decides to put all his efforts into being a wingman for his nephew instead because he finds the entire thing absolutely hilarious and rather satisfying after his own sad romance. Obviously someone like SQQ would do much better with his good, loyal nephew than the disappointing offspring of that disastrous relationship!
As for ZZL he just has to assume that LBH must not be treating SQQ anywhere near the way he should be (and like... he isn't wrong at this point, there is a non-zero amount of torture and terror going on here) if SQQ doesn't see himself as being tied to LBH in any way. And if he's not attached to LBH then there's absolutely no reason he shouldn't make his own efforts to seduce SQQ! After all, if LBH isn't valuing SQQ properly then obviously ZZL has to step up because someone as kind as SQQ deserves the best!!!
#svsss#zhushen#zhuzhi lang#tianlang jun#shen qingqiu#sqq#zzl#tlj#my art#if this is incoherent please pardon me orz the timeline is all jumbled up in my head i read this series way too fast#but this is the rabbit hole your ask sent me down#listen i love zhuzhi-lang SO much#he is SO good and also so stupid bless his scaly heart#and tianlang-jun does NOT help matters#i want to see their combined efforts to woo sqq away from lbh i think it'd be hilarious#...however considering this would take place before getting ride of xin mo i can't imagine things. uh. go well if dragged out too long#lbh is not in like a super duber place mentally at this point in the story#on the other hand can you imagine shang qinghua witnessing this and doing his ABSOLUTE best to nope out of that nightmare#LBH'S FATHER AND COUSIN ARE TRYING TO STEAL THE PERSON LBH'S DECIDED TO ROMANCE?? WHEN HAS THAT EVER WORKED OUT WELL IN PIDW????#KEEP SQH OUT OF IT!!!! (he's not going to be allowed to stay out of it)#sqq's mental gymnastics over this romantic offensive would be very impressive#well you've given me a nice thing to think about while falling asleep tonight#EDIT: oh and as far as corduroyserpent i know i've at least read their ''i shine only with the light you gave me''#that one was absolutely WONDERFUL i was very emotional about it - i don't know whether or not i've stumbled across any of their others tho#i'll have to dive into their ao3 profile and search it more intentionally though if they come with praise like this 👀

currently on ep 2 of the My Lady Jane show and how is EVERYTHINGGGG a glow down. they took every dramatic or funny scene in the book and made it into a regularly paced infodump or horny bait. why are Ethianism no longer protestant and instead just a regular oppressed fantasy animal race. where is my quid pro quo scene of Jane and Edward discussing why G would be a bad husband. where is G getting insanely drunk at the wedding and immediately after transforming, getting stuck in the bedroom for the entire day, while Jane still tries to talk to him regardless. why is Pet the only naked one. they made me look at G's bare ass
#also i don't think g is named g at all he has yet to correct a single person#idk i liked how no one calls him g bc it's stupid so it's nice when he gains friends so they call him that#so far not a single plot point is the same as in the book... the pacing is soooo off... y is this happening#i do have to say that edward and g's actors have their moments of being charming. i like some of jane's expressions too. but that's all the#praise i can give and it's more the actors' interpretation than the script (bc the script SUCKS)#tlj liveblog

Yeah let's also cancel Lewis Hamilton for meeting and having conversations with Putin... Yeah... Also maybe Seb too because he was also there???? Yeah... Right...some of you have never had a job where you had to talk positively about someone you didn't like or approved just for the sake of keeping that job.
idk which time ur talking about hamilton and putin meeting up and making friends, as the only time i can find that they've interacted was at the 2015 russian grand prix where putin was giving out the race trophies. hamilton, vettel, and perez were all on the podium for that race. correct me if im wrong and theres another time theyve met, but thats literally all i can find.
now, first of all, there's a big difference between having to interact with a political figure on a race podium, and choosing to interact with them freely out in the paddock, taking pictures with them, and praising them in additional interviews. there's also a big difference between being polite to the current leader of the country you're in that is known for killing/imprisoning people who speak out against him, and actively supporting an ex-leader who has (as far as we know) never actually killed someone for not being supportive.
if you ask me, it would've been unsafe for hamilton or any of the drivers on that podium to speak out against putin at that moment or act impolitely. on the other hand, the biggest trouble norris could get in for not praising trump and taking pictures with him is maybe a talking too back at the mclaren HQ. like, lets be real, it would be ridiculous and insane of mclaren to fire norris after all the time/resources theyve put into his development, especially now that its finally starting to pay off. it would be like shooting themselves in the foot, a move thats generally reserved for ferrari's strategy team or sauber's pit stops.
furthermore, you are simply assuming that norris' job wouldve been at risk in this situation. not once has it been implied that he was threatened or coerced into this situation. its even less likely that that has happened since piastri hasn't made any comments or taken any pictures with trump as far as i can find. for all we know, it could've been norris' idea to do all that. so, not exactly the strongest defense here.
and even if he had been forced into the corner and told to take pictures and play nice, he also took it a step further to compliment trump in other interviews saying it was an "honor" and there's a lot to "respect" about trump. hamilton has never come out saying any of that about putin. in fact, he has come on the record since then condemning putin and his actions. can you tell me where norris has come out condemning trump and his actions? no? that's funny.
#even if you did make the baseless assumption that everything lando norris did this weekend was being forced by mclaren#its still a stupid argument#theres a difference between being nice with “someone you dont like” and praising a literal bigoted wanna-be dictator#anyone with any kind of moral backbone in that situation wouldnt have allowed things to go that far and wouldve taken a stand against it#u dont think all those protests that hamilton and other drivers like vettel participated in put their jobs at risk?#u dont think that put a lot of pressure and danger on them?#yet they still chose to do the right thing#dont come into my inbox again spewing this nonsense#even if hamilton was getting real buddy buddy with putin#hes educated himself grown as a person and publicly changed his stance#and until norris does the same he has lost my respect#lewis hamilton#lh44#lando norris#anti lando norris#ln4#mclaren#mercedes#donald trump#vladimir putin#politics#adding so people can filter those out#formula 1#f1#reds ask tag

ah yes dungeon meshi, the manga where an autistic man gets repeatedly bullied by people he thinks are his friends and not a single person supports him
#dont get me wrong i am enjoying this manga#but i'm failing to see how this is some great amazing autistic rep#like yeah laios is obviously autistic#and the struggles he has due to his autism are VERY relatable#but it's deeply uncomfortable that even the people closest to him are routinely awful to him#specifically for his autistic traits#and their bullying is almost always a joke#not a single person defends him#literally senshi is the only character that's never been cruel to him#well and farlyn but lbr she's also autistic and also has been in like half a chapter that ive read so far#maybe ive just not read far enough or not seen enough posts#but im not understanding why the fandom are treating it like amazing autistic rep and how it understands us so well#you could argue that the narrative tends to support laios's methods and way of thinking#but nothing else does#the scene with shuro was fucking awful to read tbh#'you're so annoying because you're autistic. how dare you think im your friend when you should have just guessed that i hated you'#and not a single person defends laios#or calls shuro out on what a fucking horrific way of treating a party member that is#like i dont know MAYBE you could have just said 'hey i don't really want to be friends'#maybe you could COMMUNICATE.#but no it's the autistic man who's the problem. for the crime of.... being too nice.#i don't have a problem with the scene.#i have a problem with the fact that shuro is framed as reasonable here. instead of utterly fucking vile.#i have a problem with none of the other characters sticking up for laios.#dungeon meshi#maybe ppl will start treating him better#i would like to continue reading#but if he continues getting bullied in EVERY fucking chapter as a 'joke' then idk man

#oh how i missed him ;u;#mostly just posting these to give my thoughts on his official graphic update (im late to the party but whatever lol)#needless to say he looks way better than i feared. there's a wierd shininess to the lips and the eyes will take some getting used to#but atm i dont think anything is drastic enough to require a fantasia to fix ;u;#i think the big thing i gotta get used to is his teeth. i know they fixed the keeper fangs but they really dont look as sharp before#not a huge complaint tho since im just glad he has his fangies oAo#as for my alts i need to actually inspect them more in game instead of just the menu but oh man#fawkes and asra are looking gorgeous *fans self*#but anyway lol lets see how far i can get in the msq now#so far toral is nice but im not really feeling the xiv magic that leaves me wide eyed in awe yet#but we shall see as the story continues#erenville being there is a huge saving grace bless that boy he's so wonderful ;u;#lambs personal junk#lambs plays ffxiv

azul has that single dad on vacation vibe nailed to a T in that new card and i’m going insane. i will be his wifey so he never again has to be a single dad on vacation
He's literally this:
But it's okay because he makes it look so good. orz I will also be his wifey so that when he has his next vacation trip he won't be alone. <3 anything to make dilf Azul happy hehe!!! >:3c
#twisted chit chat#there's the most terrible itch to write summer smut fics for the cast of the event...#those summer outfits have me in a chokehold#i want to write a silly fic where ace and floyd have a competition to see who can rizz up the most people on their tropical vacation#but floyd takes it too far and it goes from a rizz competition to seeing how many people you can kiss/fuck in a day#and poor riddle doesn't want to lose because the loser has to drink whatever alcoholic beverage of the winner's choice#and everyone assumes riddle will lose so they're all planning to make him drink this huge margarita#that will definitely give him a horrible hangover so he tries to rizz you because you seem nice enough to reject him#but maybe you like his sincere awkwardness hehe#it's a very silly plotless idea but the cast swearing on 'whatever happens on this tropical vacation stays at the tropical vacation'#is a fun mindset that they all agree upon#maybe it's a fic where they celebrate after they've graduated so it's one final trip of silly antics before they all have to focus on life#omg maybe they're drinking and daring each other to do silly things and everyone (except for jack) is dogpiling on riddle with absurd dares#like 'i bet you can't get that person's number' or 'i bet you can't get them to fuck you' T_T leave riddle alone everyone!!!!!#i have too many ideas in my mind orz#i'll stop rambling before these tags become far too long ;;;;;

i like overthink everything now it makes me feel so dumb. i used 2 be able to just talk 2 ppl but nowadays every single thing im like Is that actually going to make them hate me. Yes probably. and then i just dont respond which makes ppl hate me. this is how it is
#ive been overthinking 1 light and casual mildly funny response to something but im worried itll come off as disrespectful and dismissive And#make me seem stupid and uncaring all at the same time. and also be seen as insulting. but like idt itd be insulting right like. im not#saying what it is so ig for all you guys know im like I mean if i say All your shit suck ball and i hateit kys. <- thats not the thing i was#going to say#like it doesnt matter now the window for response is closed now but i feel stupid bc i shouldve just said it it was light and casual. im so#bad at keeping convos gojng im convinced im not going to survive. In like a light and casual way like in a He will not make it through the#winter joke way. dw. im not going to do anything bc i had One failed interaction. if i was going to do anythjng itd be bc of the 8000000#other failed interactions. But im not. anyways. it just makes me feel so useless 😭 like i want to respond i want to talk to ppl so bad but#i feel like i mess things up Irreparably every time i speak OR i take too LONG overthinking my response and then i just cant respond bc its#been too long and then its been 3 years and the only messages ive ever sent r my intro message and 1 message 2 years ago that nobody#responded to at all. or the conversation stopped immediately after. and like i used to be better at this i was lkke. talkative in a couple#muts servers like. i talked 2 ppl daily in those servers and i had fun and like. I was an important part of the group and i felt like it#but i just feel like such an outsider for Everything and its literally my fault bc i cant just like. Talk. The explosion. bc im always like#im gonna try im gonna do it this time im gonna get it back im going to finally be Good connor and im going to fix it all and make a Good#solid friend group and ill find HEALTHY LOVE and i wont selfsabotage and ill move out and have a job and ill balance it well and ill start#all my hobbies and ill have a great routine and be so loveable and on top of it and not stressed and content and happy and roll with the#punches and then theres a single hiccup and im like Well fuckinf whatever im going to be an unemployed hermit forever and im going to die b4#im 25 anyways so Who cares and also im digging a little hole for myself. and its like. AUGHH ik i just have to persevere and overcome but#even saying that feels so stupid its not fucking hard its Talking to ppl. like. i literally if ive ever said a word to you i had to think#avt it and strategize how to respond right even for like. like. it makes it sound like its not genuine it is#like for example i want to say hey i love your art! but then i freak out and im like thats not normal thats like a rly generic comment they#hear that all the time theyll thjnk im being polite and my brains like hrmmm rewrite Your art changed my life. It shaped me. Ill never be#the same. Nad im like ok too far overcorrected go back and the sentence generator is like Your art has colors 💯 like. GOD. WHY IS IT SO#difficult. and then usually i either just dont say anythinf and feel awful abt it 4ever OR i send it on anon and then i spend like 15#minutes ibsessively slightly tweaking the apelling and capitalization and punctuation to make sure it doesnt seem like its me just in case#it Is the worst possible thing to say but then i see the response and itll be like AWWW TYSM :] THIS MEANS A LOT or whathaveyou and i feel#stupid bc i couldve just Told them this to their face and it wouldve been a good positive interaction we had. but instead i had 2 hide and#tyoe entirely differently so they couldnt sniff me from my typing style. and it soesnt even feel like the thanks is actually 4 me bc i#tweaked the message sm. and it still makes me happy that the oersons hapoy but its like. that couldve been a nice mutual interaction#like not that i need a personal ty i compliment ppl when i Want to compliment ppl and when its genuine yk. i dont do it so i get mutualpoint

i love jesper sososososo much. with all my heart. he means everything to me.
BUT HOLY SHIT I WILL NEVER FORGIVE HIM FOR THE WAY HE TREATED KUWEI.
kaz was pretty awful too but like that's just kaz so I'm not as upset by it. jesper was just mean.
Even when he's saying something not inherently mean to him. like his tone is so belittling it makes me wanna GAASFAHSHDAS
and like, i can forgive the teasing i guess, because that's kinda how jesper talks to everyone, including wylan. (it's a little different since kuwei is literally their hostage and they shut him in a tomb for weeks and then tried to sell him so kuwei probably wants nothing to do with them at that point, but he does end up having kinda a crush on jesper so maybe he didn't mind idk).
BUT OH MY GOD. when jesper said "those shu soldiers can smell us. YOUR father made that possible" I WANTED TO PUNCH HIM. kuwei watched his father die in front of him. parem was an experiment meant to help kuwei hide his powers. and then kuwei got dragged off and kept in the ice court for god fucking knows how long and was forced to make the formula for a drug that would massacre his own people. Jesper knows all of this and still decides to say that. As i said I love jesper but that moment makes me so mad at him.
then later in another jesper chapter, he internally says "The sooner Kuwei got on that boat, the better. The tomb was starting to feel crowded." KUWEI DOESNT WANNA FUCKING BE THERE?? literally leave him alone wtf did he do to you.
then in the entire black veil scene, jesper responds to almost everything kuwei says with some little dig at the fact that kuwei's dad made parem and everything is kuwei's fault to the point where kuwei is basically begging jesper for understanding and jesper dismisses him like annoyingly easily. I felt for kuwei so hard reading that scene. I wish we got at least one chapter from his POV just to know how he's feeling.
mostly i think jesper is just projecting his internalized grisha-phobia onto kuwei which i get is part of his character growth and stuff but it's just so unfair to kuwei. all kuwei is trying to do is relate to him and find some common ground on some level but jesper just acts like such a jerk. and when he kisses him and then just runs of and leaves him there... that was,,, like im not gonna act like jesper was 100% in the wrong for that situation because he wasn't but he definitely could have handled that situation better.
He also is probably doing it to impress kaz too because there's a lot of moments where the 2 of them gang up on kuwei like middle school playground bullies. Those parts probably infuriated me the most, because like... you kidnapped him. obviously he's still in a better situation than the ice court but i would at least expect jesper to have some sympathy.
but one thing that really gets me is how the fandom acts like wylan and kuwei are enemies and like, wylan despises kuwei. that's just so out of character for everyone involved. wylan and kuwei are the closest to being actual friends than kuwei + anyone else. jesper is the one who hates kuwei. I hate when people project their kuwei hate onto the crows but at least do it to the one who's actually shown being mean to him. when wylan said that "push you in the canal" thing he was running on broken ribs, a dead friend and like a half hour of sleep so he would have said that to literally anyone.
this was a really messy and unstructured tangent but i just really needed to get this out there. lmk your thoughts
#bishangzoy#shadow and bone#six of crows#wylan van eck#wesper#kuwei yul bo#jesper fahey#kaz brekker#kuwei is treated like a bargaining chip and an object and a punching bag by everyone involved and it upsets me so much#he has no agency#even nina is only nice to him because she can use him for her own personal gain#i LOVE the crows with all my heart but what they did to kuwei was not ok.#crooked kingdom should have been called 'kuwei kingdom' as far as im concerned#obviously not but ykwim

Sometimes I forget I'm an Omega until I randomly get into playing an otome game for fun and a fictional man shows me just one single ounce of respect and kindness and genuine care, and I'm immediately planning a wedding and considering whether I'd be willing to give birth to his kids after all if he REALLY wanted kids and adoption wasn't an option.
#for the record this fictional man of the week is Haku Kusanagi from Tokyo Debunker. he's the first guy the MC properly meets#and possibly the only one who has never been anything but genuinely nice chill and earnestly concerned for MC's safety#at least as far as I've read#he's just. genuinely concerned for MC#understands MCs emotions and struggles and is patient and respectful#but also can be very funny and is always very laid-back and helpful#like yknow. a decent person.#it really doesn't take much to impress me huh#basic respect and genuine care? I'm planning our wedding already /hj#it's one of those unfortunate side effects of trauma. when you're used to being mistreated#things that most people would consider to be bare minimum expectations#instead feel more like... grand gestures#like how could I possibly deserve this kind of kindness and care#bc of being so used to feeling undeserving and unworthy of kindness or care etc#anyway im yapping way too much I need to sleep#gamietxt

This whole thing is frightening. Do you possibly have any words of wisdom?
If you're not Donald Trump you're gonna live to see tomorrow, so there's that (he'll live too, it was literally just the ear, unfortunately for my belief in karma, he is fine).
In all seriousness, I'm not an election forecaster or statistician in any capacity so I can't say how this'll Affect The Election but in my view, it's not gonna be much. The sympathy vote is not really a thing anymore, it hasn't been a thing since Dubya so I'm not concerned about that. I don't think it's gonna move actual undecideds one way or another, and people who are already committed to one party aren't going to be swayed in a new direction either because polarization is simply too entrenched in political parties these days. And he can't do much "look how I'm ailing" shit because his ear got grazed and that is literally it. Not to mention the election is five months away, which in politics is the equivalent to like ten million years. Remember when Joe Biden had that bad debate performance that sent everyone into a tailspin for no reason? That was two weeks ago, but it feels like a decade, because news cycles, especially in politics, go really fast. Last month we were literally still talking about the impact of the college protests on the election. Yeah I bet you already forgot about those, didn't you?
The only thing that really concerns me is that his base is already violent and whacked out of their minds, and they'll use this, and any hysteria he and his allies drum up about it because they're incapable of not doing so, to promote more violence against people they perceive as enemies. And we know they're already capable, because one of them literally tried to beat Paul Pelosi to death with a hammer (another point in the 'sympathy vote doesn't exist' column because did that man trying to break into Nancy Pelosi's home to kidnap and torture her before trying to kill her husband when she wasn't around sway anyone to be more in favor of Democrats/less in favor of Republicans? no, it didn't), so I wouldn't be shocked if some idiot tried something in retaliation. Which is cause for concern, yes, because it is always important to remember that Republicans as a whole are violent and bloodthirsty and do not see their opponents as people (and that is just another example of why both parties are NOT in fact the same, tankies), but use that to galvanize you into working as hard as you can to get Dems in office and support Democratic policies and platforms and officials.
Ultimately anon, I am not someone who catastrophizes, and I also know that I can only control me and you can only control you. So just remember to focus on what you can do and how you react to things. And if you need to log off, log off. Keep your peace, and ultimately, I think just remember that this all seems new and exciting and insane because it's fresh and happening now, but we also felt the same about that time he got COVID. That became old hat fast, and odds are this will too.
#personal#answered#anonymous#politics#man remember when he had covid and we all thought he was gonna die? that was nice#anyway yeah i don't see this moving the needle one way or another#we're too far out from the election and the damage was too minor and people are too entrenched in ideology for the most part#and the sympathy vote is a thing of the past#the thing i'm curious about is why the secret service is so bad at their job#you'd think after 'this route jfk is taking in dallas has too many windows so we'll inspect none of the windows'#directly led to jfk being shot in the head on recorded film#they'd work a bit harder to not have people get shot but they drop the ball#major biden should have bitten more of them

around 2 or 3 times a year, I get irrationally angry about off's mistreatment as an actor, being constantly overlooked, etc. for weeks on end, until I see him be happy & celebrated enough for me to move on... I'm in one of these periods right now 🙃
#axelle rants#off jumpol#like I don't see how I could stan anyone else but sometimes I wish I could just stan one of the viral thai actors who's overwhelmingly love#like of course they get hate too but it's not the off hate that gets to me... it's the fact that he's so overlooked#as if he doesn't have the best personality by FAR out of every actors out there... AND the talent AND the looks AND the kindness etc. etc.#it started at the babii 24/7 concert this time when I saw how much off literally carries offgun like... it was crazy to witness#yet he gets like 10% of the love by the fandom#he's always out here supporting his friends promoting their stuff but they never do the same for him#like I get so fucking upset bc why is he so fucking nice bruh everyone takes advantage of it#don't even get me fucking started on tay who's continuously not been here for off in the past few months while his dad fucking passed away#and now basically stole his loewe ambassadorship thing... AND OFF STILL CELEBRATED FOR HIM BC THAT'S HOW GOOD OF A FRIEND HE IS#anyways rant over no one deserves off fr & I'm pissed#never has someone of his scale been done so wrong by literally everyone around him I'm boiling
