#and people tend to lie

[pjowasmy1stfandom]

This is something I should probably save for when I'm not supposed to be asleep. Ce' la vie or whatever

I've been wondering about what exactly Morro did to deserve getting banished to the Cursed Realm bc why not. Anyway, I have a headcanon as to how he got there exactly (taken from an amazing fic I'll probably talk about later) but I wanted to know if there was a canon reason so I went to the wiki

I guess this turned into an essay of sorts so I added a cut bc it got long what the heck

Summary isn't proving helpful. What 'previous actions'? Cause if you're talking about his being willing to defy fate, I think that could honestly be taken as either arrogance or desperation

Again with the arrogance vs desperation. He's been told by Wu for years or however long he's trained that he's the Green Ninja. He essentially was taught to associate his self-worth and competency with being the Green Ninja. And then that got taken away from him

Audacity??? Really?? Did the person who wrote the wiki watch the same episode as me?? He hadn't even hit his growth spurt yet, he still had the tiny legs! Okay, yes, waking a Grundle. Not smart. He's what, a preteen/teenager? That's kinda what they're known for

Okay, now we're getting somewhere! Aaaand nevermind. The link just took me to the summary of the episode where they do the whole entire exposition dump. From Wu's perspective. Hmmm. I wonder how the way the story was written would change if we heard it from Morro instead?? Anyway, they say he's committed atrocities, but the only atrocities I've actually seen any real proof for are the things he did during Possession, not before he ended up in the Cursed Realm. I'm not saying he didn't commit them, I'm just saying if they want me to believe he actually deserved to get cursed, they needed to give me a better idea of what he did wrong. So far, I'm just seeing a kid with an identity crisis

Oof. Awful way to go out. I mean, it could have been worse, but still. The fact that the Master of Wind died underground... Yeah, that's all sorts of levels of irony this post isn't about. Anyway, still haven't gotten any clear idea of what his 'actions' were and why they were so horrible

And honestly, I'm not even gonna touch what the wiki's saying about his personality rn. Let me just summarize it as 'literally everything is negatively spun, even the good things'. Which, yes, I get bc he is a literal antagonist, but at the same time...

Okay, moving on! Trivia!

I mostly knew this already but. Wow. That's a teenager. I'm somewhere around that age and yeah, being that age is hard. Having an extra identity/existential crisis on top of all that and having no way to actually healthily deal with that... Yep, I can see why he went evil

Okay, that's it? Just 'some bad act'??? Wait, as he perished?!? But he was in an explosion... We don't see any other skeletons around him, right? I think that'd be mentioned/shown at least ONCE. So I don't think he killed anyone...

Anyway, cool cool cool. I learned... Pretty much nothing I didn't already know. Nice. I wanna fist fight the wiki now

If anyone's curious, my headcanon is based off Land of the Living on Ao3 by CaptainBrookeworm. Basically, Morro accidentally managed to curse himself just by saying the wrong thing at the wrong time (and I highly recommend reading the fic if you haven't already, it's one of my absolute favorites)

Theres this thing in media that keeps happening, where one person disguises themself as another person, then sleeps with someone, and then that person finds out what they did, and the narrative is somehow either “oh shucks im an idiot. What a fool i am to let you trick me,” or, “oh, no! i guess this means i accidentally cheated on someone!” or a combination of the two. When thats not what really happened.

Severance may still surprise me and call it out for what it was. Im hoping. But honestly, they probably added it because it would complicate his feelings with helly even more and thats about it.

I know I said something very similar to this recently but honestly I don't feel like finding it, but: I do think it's valid to explore a character who has often been deprived of the opportunity to make choices for themselves. However, I find that fans who get really wrapped up in that particular part of the narrative almost invariably are like "I want them to make their own choices" and also have a very specific list of what they think their own choices are, and will throw a tantrum when the character actually makes an entirely different choice.

[epickiya722]

"Only Yuji influenced Sukuna's decision to choose a different path!"

"Only Uraume influenced Sukuna!"

Maybe a hot take! Maybe an unpopular opinion, I don't know but...

As someone whose favorite character is Yuji and also likes Uraume, like that's my ice icon right there, I think it's absurd to think that only one of them played a part in Sukuna's decision in the afterlife to choose a different path, let alone argue over it.

I say that they both had influence over Sukuna's decision for a different path.

I’ve never done that. [Pauses] Oh, one time I did.

Bit of a silly question but which creepypastas do you think would work best as yanderes?

all of them.

im dead serious about this btw maybe im deranged but i can come up w yandere scenarios for like... a good portion of the creepypastas i know.

most of them don't even know how to have healthy relationships by default, and typically fall into the yandere category already in some way.

like... the bloody painter, for example. due to his upbringing, he's never once had any sort of relationship in his life that was positive and healthy. his parents loathed the way he was born and the one person he considered a friend turned around and made him a target of mass bullying. you could give him a perfectly healthy relationship on a silver platter and he'd still stalk you.

another example could be jason the toymaker, but he's pretty self-explanatory.

jeff the killer is a possessive bastard who would never let you break up with him once you start dating. you became his the moment he decided to let you live, and there's no way he'd ever let you get away from him.

homicidal liu is an overprotective guard dog who would sooner hide you away from the world than ever risk losing you, and sully is worse than him because whereas liu wouldn't hurt others over you unless absolutely necessary, sully has probably already murdered all your friends just for funsies.

ticci toby is so horrifically lonely and has the worst abandonment issues known to man that he'd probably keep you tied up in some dingy cabin in the woods just to make sure you don't leave him.

the list goes on and on, really.

i’m so intrigued by dannyclara despite not shipping them. i think that relationship is an interesting addition to clara’s character arc and i’m still trying to to figure out it’s purpose.

btw if i'm ever rambling about math on here and you have questions about it, you are ALWAYS welcome to ask. always. everyone has a different level of math education they're working from & math has a lot of technical terms & frankly i just forget stuff a lot so my rambling might not be all that coherent to begin with.

worst case is idk how to answer your question. more likely you will get some sort of explanation because it means i get to ramble more.

if somebody wanted to come to my askbox and talk about poolverine with me i wouldn't be mad

I don’t know a lot of you irl so I know you don’t know this, but I am an occasional cane user. I have hypermobile eds, and one of my knees is significantly weaker than the other, and so I often use my cane when having bad pain flare ups. I also work at a hospital in a non-clinical capacity.

Ive seen a few posts about how younger people are the worst offenders of ableism recently, and while that probably is true elsewhere, it’s not been my experience with it simply because I am more often around old people than I am young people at work. The first time I brought my cane in to my new job, my only male coworker, who is at least 65, went “wassup cripple?” to me the SECOND I walked in the door. This week I’ve been using my cane as we’ve had record low pressure and all my joints feel horrible. On two separate occasions I have had a maga hat boomer directly approach me and tell me my cane is 1.) not a fashion statement or 2.) not just for show.

I use a fritz grip cane, it’s folding and has a flashlight in the head, and the bottom is a rubber quad. If I was doing it for fashion or for show would I not idk??? Pick a more fashionable cane????

But anyway I’m really pissed off about this lately because I work AT A HOSPITAL. The first time this happened my badge was clearly visible and I was leaving work at around 10:30pm, so it was not likely I was a patient. But the second time I was running to the bathroom before my shift and all of our out patient offices were open still. I was not wearing my badge so people didn’t bother me. Again, I was in a hospital. I VERY easily could’ve been a patient stopping by the restroom. I was on the side of the hospital with the physical therapy and orthopedic medicine offices. Why would you assume a young person with a cane in a hospital was doing it “for show”?????? Also don’t fucking corner a disabled person at 10:30 pm, alone in a hospital lobby, to tell them their disability aid isn’t a fashion statement and they shouldn’t be using it.

What is it that has made people think they are SO horribly entitled to the medical history of other people???? Like yes I’ve had my fair share of bad interactions with snooty people my age, but overwhelmingly my negative interactions with people regarding my cane have been from old maga supporters. And anyway. I think we should make it legal to cane people.

I always get like so weird when ppl compliment my art. Like I just cannot believe that they are being genuine even if they get specific abt it. I just think everyone is lying to me to make me feel better about how shit from an butt it is

[supermarine-silvally]

Yara, have you met all of the supernovas? Are you considered one? Which ones do you like and which ones you dislike?

"As for if I’m considered one of the Supernovas, no. I’m not. Technically I would be disqualified because my rise to piracy was as an apprentice under Whitebeard’s banner and I didn’t earn enough infamy on my own to be considered a singular threat to the World Government. Which I'm fine with. I'm not in it for the fame-- or the wealth, or the power, for that matter."

Ask Yara (or any of my OCs) anything!

also tagging @oneirataxia-girl for the references to Mari and Kenji's boys heheheh

The unranked experience has been crazy lately. Learning my new ranger build was pretty chill (if a bit frustrating due to imbalanced matchups), but then I roll up with a thief and people lose their entire minds when I don't play well. Getting tagged, the herald on the enemy team calling me afk. Teammate whispering "trash" at me, and like. duh???? my comrade in suffering why do you think I'm in unranked.

It doesn't bother me in the "hurt my feelings" way, but it does make me mad when people are mean just for the sake of it. GW2 has an insanely fun and enjoyable combat system for PvP, but people like this are ruining the fun and potentially chase away people who are just starting out.

watched Lilo and Stitch the other day and a piece of my soul died at the 2$ adoption fee. Getting an animal from the SPCA where I live costs like $500 now :/

deffo on me for going into dangerous romance blind but the bullying took me off guard
