#i tend not to feel childhood nostalgia that much (mainly for 🏳️⚧️ reasons nothing bad i just don’t wanna be a girl again)#but i want to be in vermont rn so so so bad#put me in a tent under the stars#let me be next to a campfire and someone’s playing harmonica softly and my grandfather’s telling cool stories from when he was a game warde#and i wanna go fishing out on a reservoir in a canoe and catch a 2 ft long fish (true story actually)#but it’s not just the camping i wanna be with my family i wanna be in my grandparents house with their woodstove#and i wanna sleep in the guest room that’s been mine since before i can remember#and i wanna see my cousins#luckily i’m going to vermont next week and i’m meeting my new cousin (!!)#but we’re not camping in the same spot we normally do#it should be good tho#i’m really excited#i get vermont-sick like every six months it’s a problem 😭

dan and phil are like jesus in that they’re dramatic ass fruity men in their 30s always going like “i am making this SACRIFICE for THE PEOPLE” and everyone is like “no one asked you to do this in fact we’d all rather you just did not do this” and they’re like “IT IS TOO LATE NOW YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED” and we’re like “no no we didn’t want this actually and you made this decision with your whole ass adult brain you truly could have just not done this and we’d all be better off for it but now we all have to suffer because YOU refuse to say no to shit” and i think that’s ridiculous stupid annoying awful beautiful
#/j#dnp#jesus did NOT have to die on the cross like pilate gave him so many outs and he was like ‘noooo i have to be a martyr’ and that’s#why pilate washed is hands of him#he’s like ‘this bitch is too messy i don’t wanna be involved’#good for him#dan and phil#‘oh we HAVE to do this thing for this sponsor oh we HAVE to do this really gay embarrassing coupley thing on the gaming channel’#i swear someday they’ll be like ‘this video is sponsored by dragon city so we’re gonna be doing the chapstick challenge!!’#‘can’t believe you guys and dragon city and the whole world literally begged and forced us to make out for a video but here we go 🙄🤣’#if i ever saw that shit in a video i would immediately click off unsubscribe block them report them delete my youtube account#move change my name get a fake id go off the grid and try to start over somewhere else#i know there are some of you freaks who actually wanna see them kiss but seeing that is genuinely my biggest fear lmao#like gross rosa those are our dads#actually dan feels like my cousin and phil feels like my cousin’s husband if that makes sense#i was 16 when i started watching so they didn’t really raise me maybe that’s why#dan howell#daniel howell#phan#amazingphil#phil lester#danisnotonfire#yeet my deenp#yeet my deet#danandphilgames#d&p#dip and pip#hbdnell

things get better. my best friend in the world got top surgery after us talking about it for years. i'm getting mine next year. i have genuine friends now who teach me everyday what love looks like. love looks like going to an arcade and talking for hours at the bar instead. love looks like planning road trips to our hometowns. love looks like choosing our regalia colors together. love looks like learning our language. love looks like compression binders. love looks like top surgery scars. love looks like sweet grass tattoos.
things get better.
#i just remember being a kid and trying to picture my future and coming up blank#never thought I'd have friends who invitr me to shows and genuinely excited to introduce me#I've got this great friend i met at work and she's so fucking awesome!#the exact girl I'd see as a kid and was like god i wanna know her i wanna be her friend#and everytime we talk it's like light casting both ways#im so thankful for my family#im so thankful for my uncle who tells me so many funny stories#for all the endless conversations. for teaching me about our people. telling me about where we come from. feeding me spaghetti after sweat#holding my earrings at the powwow. im thankful for my cousins and their loud beautiful laughter#and for finally fucking accepting that my parents not wanting to be apart of my life doesn't mean I can't live it#wado to friends and family#and actually looking forward to the future now ❤️#vent

If SWK and MK come from the same stone, does that mean they are brothers? I don't know how others would see it though.
i think that all depends on the audience (and if i’m being honest, i hope that canon doesn’t clarify it precisely bc the fandom discourse will be insufferable 🙄 and i am so sick of THAT type of discourse)
are they brothers? if that fits with how their dynamic works for you, then sure! it makes sense when they do share the same egg, but also can we really place that as the distinction?
personally, SWK and MK’s dynamic to me reads like mentor/pupil that borders the line of familial (but what are those familial lines to me??? it is so vague, bestie if i’m being honest. sometimes i view them as brothers with an age gap. sometimes it’s uncle/nephew, and sometimes it’s grandpa/grandchild). i wouldn’t call their relationship brotherly the same way i would argue for the royalty duo. it’s just an unlabeled type of found family to me, ya know?
but canon-wise? well it has the mentor/pupil but also shows how they blur the lines into a friendship by s2. and then we have s4 teasing about SWK being MK’s possible dad (and why the teasing? well, the story is playing in the same assumptions audience members made: swk is a monkey, MK has monkey powers, they share similar enemies, and then you have the stone egg). but then the season ends leaving the connection between MK and SWK still vague while re-establishing the father/son with Pigsy and MK (and strengthening it in s5 bless)
AND THEN!!! S5 begins with SWK and MK finding their stone (i believe it was SWK who said “our stone” if my context clues are working) and even after MK’s origins are revealed, there still isn’t a solid confirmation on the familial aspect between SWK and MK but there is a connection. but i have no idea what the characters were saying, idk if they made any of that clear in s5
anyway, short answer: SWK and MK coming from the same stone does not need to mean they are brothers. it can be if you want it to even after lmk canon confirms or denies it. my personal interpretation is more blurry than brothers but to each their own
#sorry if my explanation was unclear#wasn’t able to write this in one sitting#anyway#what i’m trying to say is that same stone does not necessarily mean they are brothers#it could be how you understand it and i get that#personally MK and SWK coming from the same stone just means to me that they are celestial monkeys#tho MK’s was purposefully messed up#also: why tf did Mr Nine crack MK’s stone#we see in s5 anyway inserts MK’s creation in it but then in a later episode it’s revealed that Nine dude cracks it#(which also means he’s been playing as one of the Ten Kings for some time. how long??? idk i wish we were given a solid timeline T^T)#tbh the best explanation i can say is that swk and MK are cousin coded if we wanna go with ‘family tree’ understanding#but that also isn’t my full idea of their dynamic. i’m sorry it’s hard for me to explain rn :/#lmk#asks#lmk sun wukong#lmk mk#sunburst duo#lmk sunburst duo#lmk season 5#lmk s5#lmk spoilers#lmk s5 spoilers#lmk season 5 spoilers

You guys don’t know how much yearning for Baghdad takes up of my mental real estate
#I have so many videos saved of last year’s trip#Me and my cousin laughing and joking w my dad while getting ready#The fact that multiple men asked my dad for my hand in marriage (lmao)#Me calling my mom every night to make fun of my “suitors”#All the gorgeous restaurants#Forcing my dad to rate every dress I tried on whenever he took me somewhere#Being catcalled by guys was an unpleasant experience but it was still fun to laugh ab it w my mom#Me having a MASSIVE crush on a family friend#That one time my dad said all the dresses I brought were too short so he bought me a dress that#Went down to literally my ankles#But the family friend was gonna be there so I showed it to my mom and she was like#“You’d wear that??? The queen of mini skirts????” And then she IMMEDIATELY clocked me and was like#Ur behaving strangely. U must have a crush. Who is it.#The hot fuckin summer nights that I spent sitting outside w my cousin on the big swing in the garden#The capital when it was drenched in sunset#When my aunt’s husband took me to the University of Baghdad and I got to literally play act being a student there#Which was a profound experience bc it’s the university my mom went to#Sneaking into the library even though u needed a student pass for that (:#Shadowing my uncle in his laboratory#My first ever nishan !!!#No weddings sadly but I got to see the buildup to the wedding so#And I think getting to call the shots and fly solo from the states to Amman and then to Baghdad was sick as hell#My mom never let me fly abroad by myself before and now im probably gonna be going solo all the time#Help I need to go back#Bro I wish I could drop everything#But before I go to Baghdad I’ll probably have to go to Belgium first for my uncle#SO many stops before I get to where I rly wanna be#I never explicitly told my dad im not religious but I think he already knows im full of sin. Memories..#Omg and my bibi’s delicious food

rewatching the first episode of bloodhounds and the instant connection between gunwoo and woojin has struck me all over again! I adore that gunwoo just genuinely loves boxing. This hobby-turned-passion may have started to protect his mother but it’s something he finds such solace and joy in. He truly embodies the heart-of-a-boxer mentality that he mentions on the rooftop.
You can see gunwoo be a little taken aback at the showmanship of woojin. I’d like to put a little bit of intrigue there too because it’s so different to his own serious, by-the-book style. And then after the match, when gunwoo is waiting outside the locker room and his puppy energy is just off the charts!!! he says that everyone else left :( but I think he secretly he was just waiting for woojin. And he is so eager and woojin is just staring at this kid like what the fuck? shouldn’t he be annoyed at this rookie who KO’d him? but nah how could he be when it’s so glaringly obvious that the kid loves boxing for boxing’s sake and he’s such a sweetheart.
so they get dinner!! at the barbecue buffet!! and it’s at this part that woojin’s interest is well and truly piqued. He wants to know more about gunwoo and his rapid-fire questions are his way of getting the information. the two of them bond and i gotta love sangyi’s and dohwan’s chemistry because you can literally see their friendship come together, that bond unbreakable.
And then the next morning! I could write an entire thesis about that first morning after the match! Gunwoo immediately calls his new friend woojin and woojin answers and even when he’s so tired and he doesn’t understand just why gunwoo would go to the gym, he still picks up the phone and his little amused-- and already so fond!!!!-- “gosh, you’re so clingy in the morning” is immediately nullified whenever he tells gunwoo to come over!
and i love that woojin rapidly and without missing a beat understands and reworks his potential first impression of gunwoo. you can literally see him decide that “idk how this kid has managed this long without me but now i’m here and i’m not letting anything hurt him.”
and just the moments later-- their married couple ass bickering the second time they go to the buffet with hyunju before they are once again a united front as they both bicker with her!
the montage after the devastation of Episode Six-- the way gunwoo so totally loses it all, his driving need to save his hyung, the way he carried woojin’s drunk ass to bed the night before (and if i hc that woojin wasn’t as drunk as it showed? that maybe there’s a conversation that happens in that moment?). his sheer relief. the way that in the wake of everything falling to pieces, they have each other and nothing will ever come between them-- the way they’re stronger than ever.
and don’t even get me started on their time in the granddaughter’s apartment?! it’s so obvious??? the way she tells them not to be creepy old men and they’re so confused but as soon as they realize what she’s alluding to, their faces wrinkle in disgust and they’re like “lmao wtf absolutely not u don’t have to worry about that” the way they’re talking one morning and??? they don’t realize she’s in the room???? and that’s because she was ON THE TOP BUNK AND THAT NECESSARILY MEANS THAT THEY SHARED THE BED ON THE GROUND FLOOR BECAUSE HOW ELSE WOULD THEY NOT KNOW SHE SLEPT THERE??????????????
#i'm going to write a fic and it's going to be titled the heart of a boxer#i want to see them in those quiet moments of the show#i want to see them happy and secure post canon#i KNOW that gunwoo's mom sees more than she lets on and she's very happy for her son#they get married idc and the granddaughter makes a joke that she knew all along#i wanna see woojin get jealous of someone flirting with gunwoo bc his man is so oblivious#i want to see them with kids#they make a nice little fortune boxing for a few years#and the rich guy i forget his name#he gave them a lot more money than the show said#and they keep that connection#because him and his cousin weren't kidding when they were drunk and said they have to take care of these kids#man i love woojin and gunwoo#bloodhounds#bloodhounds kdrama#my writing tag#fic ideas

Hey guys! I’m asking for help again- but NOT FOR ME
My cousin Dabi’s kitty Star is in need of an amputation and he can’t afford the surgery, it’s an amputation that will drastically improve kitty’s quality of life and lower the risk of the wounded leg becoming infected, she won’t stop chewing the leg because it’s in pain. If you can take a moment to help or share it’d be much appreciated
EDIT: I’m adding some screenshots of my cousin’s fb and tiktok posts as proof, just $450 is all he needs for her. Timestamps on the screenshots are relative to Feb. 3 2024
EDIT 2:
Star was able to have her surgery and is in recovery! Thank you to everyone who reblogged/supported, I know pet scams are common on tumblr so my hopes were thin but things worked out and she’s one happy baby again. Because Star’s surgery was a success, I’m going to be turning off reblogs :)
#ik tumblr blacklists gfm links so like. pls share#my cousin is rly desperate to save his cat and i dont wanna see him lose her

victor pottinger being the only relatively normal masc protagonist in all of poké-europe, dude just likes making curry and hanging out with his massive ass squirrel.
#florian being terapagos's favorite sacrificial lamb and calem desperately longing to feel alive despite being a death god's lil pookey bear#meanwhile victor's over in the corner like '' i wanna open a battle cafe :) ''#i need to plot out mjv!victor some more he's a silly lil guy#i like the idea of him being gloria's cousin from freezington#he barely manages to join in on the gym challenge w/ the mayor's endorsement and is just vibing through the whole thing#he's just having fun getting to meet new ppl & pokemon and making food#i feel like he'd get along really well w/ marnie bc he has similar sentiments towards wanting to see his hometown thrive like she does#and bede spends 99% of the main plot wanting to see victor obliterated bc of how lackadaisical he is#( it's a ''get out of my school'' situation though lbr )#hc : (pkmn) mjverse#chara : victor pottinger#mj.txt

And when I get my all black interview with the vampire remake ala the wiz then what
#listen there truly is so much you can do with blackness and itwv#even what we get with louis and his own struggles with race and racism in the show like lets not stop there#and i thunk it is a great way to get more black fans 1) involved 2) in creative spaces cus imma be real. i dont wanna see more white lestats#like lestat as an alexander dumas type has been rattling around my brain for months i need people to see the vision#i also just see it more as a way to look at how slavery and its legacies have forever warped how the Diaspora interrelates#not only slavery but french colonialism as well. what does it mean to be a free man of color when your cousins are being sold off?#what does it mean to be Haitian in spaces like aristocratic colonial france?#how does the arab slave trade factor in?#like there are so many good points of meta we could do if people weren't obsessed with woobyfying white men in this fandom#hell even the notion of passing in itwv is deeply intriguing#interview with the vampire#iwtv#amc iwtv

and like sidenote if i can make a post with a target audience of zero. i feel like fhsy was to d20 what aa3 was to ace attorney but aa3 pulled it off better for reasons i cannot explain
#it is. the amatonormativity#^ guy who was REALLY pissed about the sandra lynn stuff#like yknow that bit in the first ep where brennan is like 'oh this drama is going down' and so like the pcs investigate it#probs bcos they think itll like kick off their new quest#and then it turns out to be like. petty romantic drama.#thats kind of a microcosm of the entire season for me#not to say there werent parts i liked (looks at the picture of baron i printed out and hung on my wall)#(and most of the leviathan stuff was brilliant and ayda is a role model for me)#but its all so tied up in the rest of that shit that i dont rlly wanna rewatch it the way ive rewatched fy 6+ times#likening this to aa3 bcos of the rlly noticeable uptick in romantic content in it compared to the rest of the trilogy#like prior to that all that rlly comes to mind is like. 2-3 and pearl's shipping shenanigans and larry existing#but in aa3 both mia and phoenix have past lovers who play big parts#theres a married couple theres tigre and viola (who sidenote i ENTIRELY missed as romantic my first playthru. i am dense)#there's the business with fawles#like it felt like romance played a large part in every case in aa3#where even when it came up in 1 + 2 it was usually ancillary (2-3 excepted but like. ppl regard that case as a fluke in most regards)#you COULD argue that maggey and adrian also inject some romantic presence in the story#but idk it just doesnt feel as central or prevalent as in aa3#like i saw a post abt adrian and celeste being cousins in the aa anime being not just the sailor moon 'best cousins' thing#but like. reinforcing the themes of familiar devotion as aa2's core. and that was rlly foundational to my understanding of the game#even tho its a change that comes from an adaptation#whereas you Couldnt make that change in aa3 without it changing A Lot of shit#where was i going with this. shrug.#the zelda and tracker relationship drama was entirely manufactured as punishing the pcs for not centering npcs#whose relationship issues were ancillary to the overarching plot they were focused on and which hadnt rlly been brought up beforehand#'why didnt gorgug call zelda :/' do u want zac to pause the kalina mystery to roleplay good relationship communication with the dm??#like its one thing looking at sy as a narrative but looking at it as a ttrpg campaign with limited time and a need to split character focus#i dont see what it did for the story besides give gorgug something to angst abt. didnt rlly feel like there was character growth or an arc#sigh. MANDATORY DISCLAIMER its been at least a year since i watched sy and longer before that since ive played aa3#but at the time my feelings were strong and have only calcified. romance as a theme in something not generally abt romance
