i've said it before but it will forever and always make me insane that jacob's ending is to join the cullens for the sake of bella not having to give anything up. they find out jake will be immortal & tied to renesmee forever, so bella gets to smile & say "my family is finally complete! ^-^" but jake already HAS a family. he has a father and 2 sisters. quil, embry, seth and sam are like his brothers. jacob and leah were planning to run away together. he's always been welcome in emily's home, sue has been a family friend since before his birth. bella abandons her mortality by choice because she feels no connection to the people around her, but jacob has really strong bonds. it's clear that every character we meet in la push is like family to him, he's an active member of the community. jake would've graduated high school and been a mechanic, would've grown into a young man. a good friend, a fun uncle, a present son. he's set up to have such a rich life. and he's just magically compelled to give that up. beyond his control, he loses sight of everything, because his high school crush's baby is now the singular most important thing to him. he's perpetually 18 with his perpetually 18 year old girlfriend, running around vancouver or alaska or wherever with the girl who friendzoned him at 16 & her in-laws (who were antagonistic to him for months). and i'm just supposed to say omg yay now he doesn't have to let go of bella! everyone is happy! it's complete madness
#like even putting aside the utter insanity of him imprinting on a newborn (WHICH IS HARD TO PUT ASIDE) it is still CRAZY#like bella was never gonna do anything but be a vampire. from the moment she meets them the only ending for her is to join the cullens.#throughout the series the only thing we see tying bella to humanity is jacob. that's the conflict for her. thats what she must forfeit.#ofc there's charlie but SHE makes the decision that giving that relationship up is worth it to her#bella was never going to do anything else but jake WAS. jake HAD a whole life ahead of him that was taken from him#HE HAS NO CHOICE. HE'S JUST COMPELLED TO DO IT#ugh. jacob can be the Worst sometimes but ultimately he's a victim of the narrative fr#being kinda shitty & unable to get over a girl at 16 shouldn't condemn u to giving up literally every other relationship in ur life#also the phrasing of 'the girl who friendzoned him' in this post makes it sound like i think bella is wrong for that & to be clear i don't#i just mean to emphasize like. how young they are & how trivial their relationship drama would seem to them years down the line#jacob black#twilight#the twilight saga#twilight blog#bella swan#jacob twilight#quil ateara#seth clearwater#leah clearwater#embry call#sam uley#stephanie meyer#smeyer#new moon#eclipse#breaking dawn#twilight critical#mine#jake

Im soooo weak to when Bond is like casually being used or exploited at his expense for some ostensible Greater Good except the situation doesn't HAVE to come to that, not really, and he's so inured and even numb to it that he barely pays it any mind; meanwhile, Q absolutely minds and is very indignant on his behalf and works overtime to like either try to avert or forestall the situation before it gets to the point where Bond has to dig his own claws into more of his soft underbelly to offer up on the sacrificial alter of politics of all tawdry things, or to manufacture a way in which he does the needless "needful" so as to spare Bond at least one unnecessary additional wound upon his psyche.
bonus if Bond finds out and maybe after being angry or indignant about it - I don't need you to do my job for me, Q, this is what I'm here to do - and either Q tells him/lets slip or he deduces that like, this isn't Q thinking he can't get the job done, this is Q finding him precious and worthy of protecting, and like. he's just very in awe of that and does in fact feel very safe and cherished within the cradle of his Quartermaster's regard
#00q#of like... yes it's constant surveillance. but also it's like. constantly having a companion & constantly having an all-seeing eye#looking out for you and reaching out to influence your life#I'd imagine it's very like religion (*puts a Bond thought bubble on this*)#it's the Take Me to Church-ism of it all#lmao I didn't start this off as a web-weaving but now I'm weaving it into a web#but yeah in this fic - looked it up it's Playing the Part - this other rando agent is like. is he in your ear rn? the Quartermaster?#and the guy is like. I don't know how you handle it‚ being under his watch all the time. I know he's supposed to be your guardian angel but#I hope I never come to his attention‚ I don't want him to care enough to know a thing about me.#and it's sooo so interesting in the context of Q and this like. pathological need for omniscience we often assign him#cuz yeah it COULD be very oppressive and overbearing#but like. I think it complements Bond's Ambiguous Disorders a lot bc it WOULD read to Bond as Caring#like so much of his life doesn't belong to himself anyway so a lot of the puppeting is old hat#but what a novelty to have someone who does it not because they want something from him or because of what he can do for them#but because they care so deeply about *him* as to want to do right by him and look out for his well-being#also sidebar'ing back but like there's a lot stupid about Business English but 'do the needful' is probably one of if not THE dumbest thing#I've ever heard or seen in my life. like. absolute epitome of garbage bullshit bureaucracy-speak nonsense and I know I'm getting into dicey#territory cuz despite whatever origin it may have had it's seen more today as an Indianism. but still like in and of itself it's such#a dumb phrase. and speaks to such a height of bureacracy & it's like. you don't have to say it like that. there are other words you can use#okay anyway. back to 00q#somehow I've brought this into 'blasphemy but make it sexy. as a treat' lmao but yeah... Q as Bond's wrathful & jealous God....#WAIT another web weaving. Ulysses when Bond is like. no not a guardian angel. Q is his patron deity his household god. mm yes *chefs kiss*

“Ego is like a dish that only feeds you false fruit. Right? Like, the more that you eat off of your own ego, the more you starve your spirit.”
—Josh Johnson
#the way I had to fully stop what I was doing to just process that#josh johnson#is my favorite comedian#because he’s funny but also he says things like this#and he provokes people to think#and not to get all Christian up in this comedy thing#but he does a whole thing about the way power money and fame can corrupt you#and he even points out that we can yell at billionaires#but if we (and many do) go to a foreign country where the locals are poorer than we are and we start getting greedy and rude#and don’t treat the locals like people#then we’re acting like billionaires#his point is that money really makes you stop acting like a person and like you live on a different planet from the real world#and all I could think was the scripture where Jesus says no one can serve both God and money#and this quote was his whole thing about feeding your ego and pride#he has another quote about ego being a still small voice in your head saying I am the center of the universe#and I’m screaming because yes! a still small voice! a phrase used to describe the voice of God! if you serve your ego it becomes your god!#I don’t know if he made that reference on purpose (I don’t think he’s a Christian) but if he did that’s a spectacular use of reference#reblog for posterity#philosophy takes

Well now you got me wondering if Infinite ever made a fake Cream
It's definitely an interesting avenue to consider: how many of Sonic's friends did Infinite know about? 🤔
#not comic#and this depends entirely on how far Infinite's powers are interpreted#if we go as far as to imagine Infinite having access via the phantom ruby to literally any memory in Sonic's brain... the world's our oyste#but otherwise he'd need to know about the people sonic spends time with#WHICH could probably be easily accessible via whatever internet system Mobius has. so maybe the world's still our oyster#That phrase is so funny to me. What does it even mean. What do oysters have to do with it /lh

i haven’t even attempted a raphael fic yet and i literally have 3 cod fics i need to work on right now but i got hit with a deranged urge to write some weird psychosexual cannibalism thing with raphael & tav
#i don’t even have a clear or specific vision i was literally outside playing fetch with my dog#& i just got hit with the “’what if tav was squirming on his lap while he’s feeding her little bites from his plate & making her sample all#the wines he brought out from the cellar. & also there’s like an obnoxious amount of finger sucking & sloppy kissing#& just throwing cannibalism into the mix bc well… it’s raphael. he’s fucking psychotic so why not’#i have a 3 hour car ride tomorrow so… much to think about 🗿#quite frankly the only thing holding me back from writing for him is i fucking STRUGGLE trying to get the dialogue & way he speaks right#goofy ass with his stupid riddles & poetry 😒 i know he does talk relatively normal most of the time but he’s still got like…#a very distinct way of speaking & phrasing shit that i can’t quite capture yet#but we fuck it we ball#gonna for real make it a goal to finish sleazy car mechanic soap & then start whatever half baked raphael cannibalism idea#anyways ignore me i’m talking to myself bc i won’t actually do this unless i speak it into existence

One thing I really liked about the 3 BBY arc is that we got so much of the Ghorman language, because at least to me, that's what sci-fi should be. I love it when we get to go ham with a conlang.
#on one level it makes absolute sense for Ghorman given their single-product economy to be more isolated and have more linguistic evolution#(I assume they don't get as much immigration as a place like ferrix or correllia)#and also I love the contrast to the Chandrilan language we got in 4 BBY because that was clearly just ritual phrases for ceremonial purpose#(though that makes me wonder if that's just an upper-class thing - do the majority of Chandrilans still speak that language?)#andor#i'd watch a whole movie just in a conlang#andor spoilers

Don't judge a book by its cover. An essay by Mew Pt. 2
Mew in his revenge era went shopping and thought, "you know what screams I'm gonna fuck you up, maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't? Floral/patterned shirts," and proceeded to buy a bunch of those.
BOOK KASIDET as MEW WITSARUT ( ONLY FRIENDS EPS. 7-12 )
Correction: I missed one outfit in ep. 6 and instead of remaking that set, I'll just post it below because it's actually the hottest Mew has looked, so I'm not even upset.
#only friends the series#ofts#only friends#mew witsarut#book kasidet#thai drama#thai bl#gmmtv series#gmmtv bl#th: only friends#:: fashionbaby#:: onlyfriendsoutfits#bibi gifs#man ep 8 is truly traumatizing when you rewatch raymew's scenes#and i mean this with love but ep 8 was something else#anyway i think it's obvious that mew's style is the one that changed the most throughout the show (at least until now let's see nick)#from cute colorful stripes to very busy and right in your face shirts that we usually associate with ray but i'll say after doing this mew'#new style doesn't feel like ray. it feels like he's trying to mimic him and it's not quite there bc it still is mew. idk how to phrase it#but it's much more like if I change my style and wear the busiest shirts#maybe people won't read me as plain and won't cheat on me for being considered boring#something something#mew trying to mimic ray and ray channeling sand in ep 9 will forever be my favorite piece of storytelling#btw this gifset looking way less chaotic than the others and more linear? totally by accident

etoiles who tries to be patient and tries to be kind and tries to help bad in his state of memory loss and confusion after purgatory, but still can’t help be suspicious of him. who works around how well he knows bad, because he knows bad is a liar, but he doesn’t say as much he just quietly puts in his own tests and precautions to gauge properly what level of fucked bad’s head is. who won’t stop reminding him of purgatory. does he remember the eggs? does he remember his home? does he remember how he slaughtered his friends ruthlessly over and over and over again? does he remember jaiden? charlie? does he remember how defenseless etoiles was when he stabbed him in the back? etoiles who knows how bad feels just by body language, who used to have the upmost respect and trust for his friend, his ally, his brother in arms - now holds him at arms length even at his most vulnerable.
something about etoiles asking what bad is hungry for, offering to fight (wanting to fight, now that the ground is even, now that he’s not defenseless, after bad had killed him when he was), and bad going “fight? why would I fight you, I thought we were friends?” and all etoiles can do is scoff. something about how even the most honorable and most patient have limits. something about how the consequences for bads actions - to himself and to others - are all finally compounding. how etoiles and bad’s relationship is forever changed by what happened in purgatory, and etoiles may still extend his hand to help him, give him strategies to remember things, but he’s doing so with a bitterness and a resentment.
things won’t be the same. things will never be the same. and the way etoiles can’t help bad without being sharp and angry about it proves this. because two weeks ago bad was family - and now, at bads worst, his most afflicted, most vulnerable, sure etoiles still offers help, and is more level headed than most about it, but he is in no means gentle or kind. he doesn’t want to help him. and that says everything.
#idk man. etoiles reaction not being ‘oh poor bad’ but being startled and then ‘oh of fucking course he’d just forget everything’ is telling#like we knew purgatory wasn’t gonna be forgotten. especially between red and bad specifically. but for it to show through etoiles first#to see etoiles genuinely bitter and resentful and taking no stock nor trust in what bad is saying or showing. yeah. Yeah#like. etoiles helping. he still cares a little. he’s not gonna leave bad to fend for himself he’s gonna help because that’s what he does he#helps#but it’s like. etoiles is saving him with a resentment because he knows bad wouldn’t do the same#(as far as he’s concerned at least. from what purgatory has shown him at least)#or not saving so much as helping to correct my phrasing a little bit jfjskfkrk#idk the fact that it’s etoiles out of everyone back so far. the fact that it’s etoiles and bads relationship that’s in shambles#out of all the friendships and mutual trust and respect and love#like. yeah. yeah. purgatory won’t just be forgotten. as much as bad has forgotten no one else will forget#mcyt#qsmp#q!etoiles#q!bbh#z speaks

man. i've been diamond-mining bad-to-mediocre books for so long that i've forgotten how good pb can be when they actually put their minds to it
#blades 2 as expected is fantastic so far#a bit sad that it doesn't look like we'll be able to get skills we didn't earn in the first book but it's so great that we can still use th#ones that we did because a lot of choices books do a complete reset of earned skills/assets/similar items#so i'm really happy the blades ones carried over#and there are new ones to learn!!!#and our choices have actual impact instead of just being “how would you like to phrase the same sentiment”!!!!!#when choices is bad it's *bad* but when it's good it's *so* good#playchoices#bolas#bolas 2#there are too many tags for this thing#choices bolas#blades of light and shadow#og

oh my fucking god i feel. SO stupid rn at How i didnt make the (super sane very normal just absolutely. Yes. Surely) connection earlier but uhh
so anyway im now like 89% certain that whatever the "traces" of the narwhal that remain on ajax and facilitate their (ever-growing) innate connection are like. an actually fundamental aspect of it (them?) more or less.
why? because if you consider its pov just for a moment. the narwhal was literally about to depart teyvat for good. it had nearly finished consuming the primordial sea and preparing to breach surface to finish the job by eating the french for the leftovers their human bodies were made from. its an interstellar voyager it does not linger on planets it devours. it goes glug glug and it leaves.
and like if it wasnt for traveler intervening its confirmed through narzissenkreuz and renes world formula that teyvat wouldve just been destroyed. no one could have stopped the narwhal not neuvillette not focalors not anyone.
so what was the one other thing it did right before going for that french brunch? calling for ajax. getting them reunited in the primordial sea. like all the possible implications aside bc theres many different ways to speculate on the exact reasons why and the nature of that link. the point remains.
it wasnt leaving teyvat without finding him.
like the narwhal is about to fucking Dip from this cringe planet and whatever part of it that ajax carries within himself his narwhal Absolutely wanted to be reunited with. what the fuck am i supposed to read from that. hoyo???????!??! answers?!?!?!
and its not only the calling from the narwhal side itself either bc this is ALL coinciding with the growth of a 'restless power' within ajax and his vision malfunctioning (the things celestia is literally confirmed to harvest energy thru to repair its damaged authority) and his connection with the narwhal reaching an actual conscious level (arguably subconscious n emotional too bc i find it Curious his mood is poor right as the narwhal is repeatedly described as positively malding to the point its boss fight mechanic is literally a rage meter). ajax' power is growing. his destiny is starting to shift and something is drawing him to fontaine... right as the narwhal is getting close to finished with the primordial sea. funny how it overlaps eh. how it aligns 🤨🤨 why are they orbiting each other like this (they should kiss)
(& not to even Mention how ajax just Happened to get that absolutely exponential and borderline unbelievable feat of power spike in extending his foul legacy endurance as massively as he did. while. within the primordial sea. with his narwhal. who had at that point all but incorporated the power of that sea into itself. i s2g if childe was getting passive home turf co-op bonus exp with a 4x multiplier automatically the whole 40+ days 💀💀)
#man the way its lovely reunion but tjen ajax fucking ATTACKS IT ON SIGHT you couldve gotten married!!!!11!1 fucking unbearable i am in agony#anyway contrary to popular belief we still have no fucking clue whether ajax' link to the narwhal was innate#skirk saying the traces remain on him after meeting it isnt saying tht much. the parts he shares w it couldve well been innate but dormant#instead. also just the fact that he woke it up already shady#then like. monoceros caeli being his from the beginning is completely plausible despite ppl acting like its been confirmed his const change#and like them being halves of the same entity on some lvl would make the narwhal being so weak without him n until ajax found it again#make very much. sense. anyway ajax toxicity jokes aside if the narwhal was just trying to eat him point blank without even a hello#i do get why hed react aggressively. but also bros been telling everyone n their mom hes fighting his narwhal the seconf he finds it again😔#so i feel somewhat confident in assuming he started that 40+ days brawl#anyway if ajax Isnt the celestial narwhal on some level or possibly becoming it as their link grows.#riddle me this atheists. why is his 3rd phase boss theme. the song about His individual murderous rage at us#bc he thought he was outplayed by us. His personal wrath#whys the song for that called the wrath of the celestial narwhal. of the star swallowing whale. Hmmmge. his individual rage.#why does tusk of monoceros caeli speak of him embracing the narwhals innate qualities as embracing mere parts of Himself#funny how tjat goes!! (the OST n boss drop is not 100% serious theory but it does drive me insane. bc why would they phrase it like that)#anyway either theyre 2 halves same original entity or theyre soulmates idgaf . they should fold teyvat in half and eat it for brunch#aaand im going to be consumed by this realization for the next month wish me luck#WHY DID IT NEED HIM THERE SO BADLY???? HUH??????#i mean relatable dont we all. but its sooooooooo inch resting. Curious indeed#rambles#genshin#childe#childeposting#narwhalposting

if I ever mysteriously disappear one day with my account deleted, becoming the missing mutual, rest assured that it'll probably be because I have continually lied about myself IRL and find this account to be attached to that mentality. I will one day return
#I still like this username but I might abandon it. might return to it too though#just a solid reset on my online presence#idk if I'll go through with it but I'm acknowledging it here just in case#andy rambles#btw I love to use the shitty phrasing of calling myself a pathological liar but I'm just gonna explain that real quick#I'm pretty open about how my main OCD obsession is emotional contamination#long story short I have continually distanced myself from anything about myself that I share with others#(“I can only be what you're not”)#where I have met a lot of people and whatnot#it used to not affect me much until I turned 13 when it began to spiral out of control#I stopped engaging in almost anything I actually enjoyed (I'm drawn to people who like the same things as me (unfortunately))#I started to latch onto anything that I could possibly enjoy and “claim” it as my own w/out fear on infection#(another persons soul infecting my own authenticity has been a deep rooted fear of mine)#(that if I am ever even vaguely influenced by someone else I am going to become them and therefore be inauthentic)#(which is in my eyes the worst crime a human can commit)#pair that with yearly-ish “emotional rebrands” (ie. doing whatever I can to distance myself from a past version of myself I hate)#and you get a recipe for “this guy isn't who he says he is”#I refused to engage in my own interests -- get new interests -- do just about anything#I say refused like its past-tense but this is still happening#this has actively ruined my life & ability to connect with people#I have a lot of personal moral shit (OCD obsessions are rarely one-man shows) against lying to people#(its a display of inauthenticity which is the worst crime of man)#so I've decided to refer to myself as a pathological liar as this pattern is in practice a series of lies that have done nothing but stack#rn I'm doing my best to decipher what about myself is truly me vs. distancing myself from others out of fear of infection#big ones I've realized is that I'm not into dudes. at all.#I consistently identified as a lesbian for 3 years before I met other people who were also lesbians#then I didn't and I am certain it was out of fear that I'd become them somehow#(don't we love magical thinking?)#anyways that's the short of it#if that makes sense at all
