#ara's ramblings

[torment-deviser]

One of my headcanons for Reborn is that the Amaria fight is not hard bc of fighting her. But bc mc would have to do their best so their Pokemon dont kill her in retaliation.

Like, imagine you're the Pokemon. If you're the one that dived with them. Watching as your trainer and friend slowly suffocate due to this woman trapping you two inside an underwater room. With what I hc as walls resistant to Pokemon attacks.

Or being one of he Pokemon inside the pokeballs. Knowing that even if you are able to get out, you would just get in the way.

Like I'm just saying. In a reality in which the world is not limited to game constraints. Those Pokemon would be out for blood.

Way to call me out

[acediscowlng]

charles going "i'm aces with other people" literal seconds after he died from being murdered by his friends is absolutely fascinating, this kid's optimism and sheer determination to bullshit his way through every traumatic event he goes through and pointedly refuses to examine really knows no bounds

LSTR-S2301 and the maintenance tunnel ARAR are best friends to me even though that Elster was only on sierpinski for a seemingly brief time, they’re bros who fuck around on the clock during work. I think Elster was probably more willing to put extra time in however she’s also very “okay you’ve given me a list of tasks I did them. They’re done and done well. That’s it, my time now.” Whereas I see Ara being more of a slacker (very valid of her) or at the very least just a bare minimum type of gal when it comes to work.

Idk I tend to imagine them fucking off in the middle of shifts to go find weird lonely corners of sierpinski to hang out in. They don’t even talk half the time but they love it.

i hate hate hate "insecure!ghost" so so much. (kind of mwiii spoilers lolll)

you cannot convince me that that man is not fine as hell, and he knows! he knows! do the people who write him like a crazy insecure man not understand he literally said he wasn't ugly when talking w soap? (come home bae the kids miss u)

he wouldn't start screaming and crying if someone ripped his mask off, he'd get angry, yeah, because the person is being disrespectful but i truly don't think he would care that much. yes he'd get self conscious at points but who doesn't? and if he did i wouldn't imagine him showing it.

also gotta say that hes got brown eyes, idc what anyone says, hes blonde w brown eyes 🫰🏻

(only small thoughts but anyways)

Okay, maybe I just don't know enough, but I always liked the idea of metamours! Zuko and suki

Zuko is dating sokka, and sokka is dating suki, but suki and zuko are just, best friends.

Metamours.

Sokka's annoying bf and gf who are kickass warriors, who give each other platonic forehead kissies, who helped each other win sokkas heart, who are just...Best friends.

Dear Diary,

I met someone today. And I proposed to them and they accepted. So I guess I’m married to @hana-no-seiiki now.

Love Arabelle ♡

You're allowed to ascend but only if God wants you to, and God can be a bit of an authoritarian bastard

I'm currently working on a fanfic in which the mc, an oc of mine, lost a leg in the past. I really hope I can do this that you're mentioning. I've done my best to research the topic (learning things I didn't know about it in general)

But even though he did lose his leg in a traumatic incident I dont think I see Vidar associating the loss of his family with the loss of limb?

Like if I use it for character development. He doesnt hide it due to shame, but out of fear of being vulnerable? That doesnt mean he likes discussing the circumstances of the loss tho lol

Like I see it as a caryy over from his backstory be fore he lost his leg. With him being used to having to carry the weight and seem invincible for the sake of his brother. Involved in an environment (gang) where showing vulnerability meant being taken advantage of.

He got pretty used to the mentality of "me, myself and I" (Pokemon non-withstanding)

So when he stops hiding, it is a sign that he is willing to be more open with people he cares about.

Idk I hope it's a good portrayal of it

you know what i need more of? stories about characters with disabilities where the disability isn’t the root of the angst or the center of trauma.

disabilities aren’t monsters to be fought. they’re real life circumstances that millions of people have, live with and thrive despite of every single day.

i’ve been in a wheelchair my entire life. is it hard sometimes? absolutely. did it take me a long time to accept it and be comfortable with it? you bet, but you know what would have made it easier? seeing stories and characters of people like me who weren’t defined by it. who weren’t made to feel like they were something that needed to be fixed or some kind of heavy burden on the people who they loved.

so when i say i want more stories of people with disabilities, it’s less for me (though i would enjoy them greatly) and more for the people out there still struggling to come to grips with whatever they happen to be dealing with.

they shouldn’t have to see stories where characters like them are viewed as a dull, lackluster, and endlessly miserable people whose loved ones feel trapped by the weight of their burden.

that’s the kind of approach that makes people with disabilities feel like they’re worthless and unlovable.

representation matters, i hear it all the time and believe in it wholeheartedly, this is no different.

let your disabled characters be characters. let them find joy and happiness and normalcy in their own way. let their disability be a character trait, not a demon forever leering over their shoulder.

people with disabilities are just that, people, and we want to live our lives and find the joy in it just like everyone else. the things that make us different aren’t a villain that needs to be slain, they’re simply a part of who we are. let’s embrace that <3

Alone

SO YOU ALL HAVE SEEN THE NEW ALONE COD SKIN RIGHT!?

the one which is a mix of Ghost, Price, Farah, Alex, Gaz, and Soap.

I wonder if Alejandro and Rudy are in this skin too- I hope so, all the boys together (poor Laswell having to try and deal with this tho)

That guy (he is adorable)

How do you all think they fused together?

I think like it was during a mission and shit went wrong, like when everyone chose to become the ghost when they went after Graves.

I think like some shit went down and ghost while carrying Soap and (MAYBE) Gaz on his back as they ran for cover were hit with something which caused them to fuse together first.

And during this time when it was happening Price, Farha and Alex found them and lets just say they joined the hive mind.

My brain just loves the idea that while ghost is close to passing out as the fusing (which is horrible and painful leading to his blacking out state) recalls when they were having that meeting where its pretty much the main line that I wanna focus on:

"We do this together, we aren't ALONE" (or something like that I'm paraphrasing here.)

AND like he blacks out at the alone bit before slowly regaining his brain, or really THEIR brain, (they can't go by he/him or she/her pronouns not when they are literally multiple people!) and all they can say is

"Our... name... is alone..." before beating the shit outta an enemy or something.

aNYWAY- thats my ted talk and idea on this whole skin, expect some fan art soon because I am in love with the skin and honestly need to post my own art more. Here's a sneak peak:

Horrible quality i know... I'll take a better photo once I'm done.

Small Shelly headcanon

I've seen people in the fandom talk about the very cute sibling-like relationship she has with Titania. (Which it is very cute)

I just have a slight headcanon addition to it.

Hardy takes a look at it, and is like "Fuck it I have a little sister too now."

So Shelly is pleasantly confused when suddenly she also has a Rock-Head (pun intended) big bro out of nowhere. Much to Titania's exasperation.

(Also I just realized how many puns are incorporated into Hardy as a character lol)

This is something I'm trying to do with Vidar. Yes, he lost a leg. And yes, it does interfere at certain points in the story. But in the end, I wanna write a story about him finding meaning in life after tragedy.

The angst of the story doesn't come from him losing the leg. It impacts some things. But it comes more due to the events that lead up to the loss of that leg. The trauma is mainly centered on losing people you care about.

Idk if this is better or worse. I've mostly tried to educate myself on it. Both online and with people in my social circle that have relevant experience.

In the end, I hope I can do at least a passable job at it.

you know what i need more of? stories about characters with disabilities where the disability isn’t the root of the angst or the center of trauma.

honestly my favorite part about edwin he is 200% ready to play trauma olympics at any given time and he even seems to kinda relish the fact that he knows that he is not only gonna win but decimate literally everyone else in his wake
