not enough discussion about the gavins' complicated relationship with feminine-coded/beauty products, i don't think.
#for klavier because it's not as direct it's about how we never see him actually wearing lipstick? even though apollo literally attends#a concert of his which is where you'd most expect him to wear makeup. but apparently he just doesnt. or at least not in public#klavier gavin#kristoph gavin#i feel like there are several ways you can read into it. the misogyny/toxic masculinity one is really obvious clearly with kristoph's#singling out of men specifically and klavier's (probably accidental?) condescending manner of calling women 'fraulein' plus his general#mildly patronising attitude towards many of the women in the game (also probably unintentional)#(i think he's trying to be charming and it's coming off wrong to some of them. like ema. and me.)#but i feel like there's also maybe an element of... inherent perfecfionism to it? like both of these products are conventionally beautifyin#products and kristoph while he is open to showing people he uses nail polish specifically chooses one that's clear and missable unless you#see him apply it. he also feels the need to justify his use of it and specifically spell it out as something he chooses to do rather than#needs to do even though duh. that should be obvious.#idk there's just something about his seeming need to take control of that narrative that i find interesting. his need to spin it into a#'there's nothing wrong with my nails but I had the foresight to see that even the smallest parts of my appearance should be kept immaculate#and it's a choice i'm making to refine an already adequate part of my personage /not/ to cover some unsightly defect.' the need to emphasis#that specifically is so. hm. and with klavier i could see it being a case of him liking makeup liking the pops of colour yet being unwillin#to admit to it because he's afraid that other people might see it as him being dissatisfied with his own appearance regardless of if he is#or isn't. or even just perceiving colourful makeup as being unseemly because it's so overt and unnatural.#like i can see this as them both viewing 'real' beauty to be that which is inherent to a person and seemingly effortless#thus somehow negating the beauty which one achieves through cosmetics or other external means.#and if you want to use external means to achieve beauty or neatness or whatever then your only valid options are those which blend into you#natural state. like clear nail polish. or really awful spray tan.#i feel like klavier's less confined by these ideas (if they hold merit at all) considering he actually owns coloured lipstick and he wears#jewellery (admittedly quite 'masculine' jewellery no gems or pearls or anything like that but jewellery nonetheless) but i think it just#makes it more interesting that he doesnt seem quite able to cross the line anyway. like it's that ingrained into his system.#anyway that's all i've got. you guys should tell me what you think too#annotations

i feel like im not making any sense but does anyone else feel like there are stories that let u run with them and ones that spell everything out for you
#im reading that post that says artists are directors of audience reaction and not its dictator:#'you cannot guarantee that everyone viewing your work will react as you are trying t make them react. a good artist knows that this is what#allows work to breath. by definition you cannot have art where the viewer brings nothing to the table ... this is why you have to let go of#the urge to plainly state in text exactly how you think the work should be interpreted ... its better to be misinterpreted sometimes than#to talk down to your audience. you wont even gain any control that way; people will still develop their opinions no matter what you do#im thinking abt this again cuz i was thinking maybe the thing that lets adventure time work so well the way it does is cuz it doesnt#take itself too seriously that it gives the audience enough room to fuck with subtext and then fuck with them back yknow. i think it was#mentioned somewhere that they werent even planning to run with the postapocalyptic elements that are hinted in the show but changed their#mind after the one off with the frozen businessmen and dominoed into marcy and simons backstory. on the other side there are stories that#explain too much to let the story speak for itself and i think it ends up having to do more with the crew trying to lead ppl in a certain#direction than expand on what they have and i see a lot of this with miraculous. like when interviews and tweets are used as word of god in#arguments and it becomes a little stifling to play around with it knowing the creator can just interject. u can say its the crews effort to#engage with its audience but it feels more like micromanaging. and none of this is to say there ISNT room for stories that spell things out#theyre just suited for different things. if sesame street tried abstract approaches to themes and nuance itd be counterproductive#a lot of things fly over my head so i need help picking things apart to get it- but it doesnt have to be from the story itself. ive picked#picked up or built on my own interpretations listening to other ppl share their thoughts which creates conversation around the same thing#sometimes stories will spell things out for you without being so obvious abt it that it feels like its woven into the text. my fav example#for this might be ATLA using younger characters as its main cast but instead of feeling like its dumbed down for kids to understand why war#is bad its framed from a childs point of view so younger audiences can pick up on it by relating to the characters. maybe an 8 year old#wont get how geopolitics works but at least they get 'hey the world is a little more complicated than everyone vs. fire nation'. same for#steven universe bc its like theyre trying to describe and put feelings into words that kids might not have so they have smth to start with#especially with the metaphors around relationships bc even if it looks unfamiliar as a kid now maybe the hope is for it to be smth you can#look back to. thats why it feels like these shows grew up with me.. instead of saving difficult topics for 'when im ready for it'#as if its preparing me for high school it gave me smth to turn in my hands and revisit again and again as i grow. stories that never#treated u as dumb all along. just someone who could learn and come back to it as many times as u need to. i loved SU for the longest time#but i felt guilty for enjoying it hearing the way ppl bash it. bc i was a kid and thought other ppl understood it better than me and made#feel bad for leaning into the message of paying forward kindness and not questioning why steven didnt punish the diamonds or hold them#accountable. but im rewatching it now and going oh. i still love this show and what it was trying to teach me#yapping#diary

something i'm curious about is, regarding that post you made about hairstyles + the Jumping Spider AU post where you re-drew the Arcane poster with TDL and Orange, does TDL just... force those close to him to style their hair the same as his? and is there another reason behind that or does he just want all of them to look similar?
Omg Jumping Spider ask akdjsjd
In the hairstyle one, he kinda force it on TCO, but he didn't expect TCO to actually go along with it akdbdjd. Said that he was "joking" but that just earned him a glare from TCO.
And in the Jumping Spider au, Orange is the one to ask Dark to help him make his hairstyle look similar to Dark's! TDL refused to help at first, saying he's "busy" and "I don't do makeovers!"
So Orange just take matters into his own hands, but it looked.... crappy wkdbehfdj, then Dark just facepalm and snatch the razor from Orange's grip and take hold of the situation.
Different situations comes with different context kinda deal y'know?
#jumping spider au#ava#JSAU means a lot to me actually cause if you think abt it. their dynamic is like jinx and isha#with that one scene included where TDL would look proud of his craftmanship and with Orange looking in awe#“at least SOMEONE appriciates what I do around here” Dark says. def not directed to certain black hollowhead /s#“you know.. I never do anything for anyone before. well. except for one but he never really let me do stuff for him anyways”#“all of the sudden just... told me to quit. like. can you believe that?? Who does he think he is?? he doesn't get it..!-#-he doesn't know what it's like! to be under someone's shadow. after everything I did! after everything I do for him—!!“ then he just sees-#-Orange staring at him. paying attention. listening attentively. and Dark pulls himself together after realising that he literally almost-#broke down in front of a *kid* of all people. embarrassing. he cleared his throat. “anyways....... you like it? looks great rite?”

Batman Annual #25
Before Talia took him in, before he was dunked in the pit to have his memories restored, even when operating purely on survival instinct, he always split a meal with the other homeless people. It may not have been essential to his survival, but caring about and helping other people when he couldn’t even help himself was just always such an intrinsic part of Jason’s core.
#so much so that it prevailed over basic self-preservation#my guy lost 90% of his cognitive function and he’s still out here helping people in any way he can#my post#new headcanon: that’s why he stole all 4 tires. because he wasn’t just feeding himself in crime alley.#or at least he was planning to expand his work now that he had more confidence in his ability to feed and care for himself#I mean he also isn’t the type to brag about his good deeds yk? we all know he was putting up a tough guy façade when Bruce found him#a mutual asked abt Jason’s white streak so I directed them to hush which ofc reminded me of this book#rather than it being exclusively a pit thing imo it makes more sense for it to be a combination of actual health related issues#like the chronic prolonged mental and physical stress he had to endure coupled with the fact that superboy’s punch kickstarted his body#in ways that are unknown to modern science#and then the pit also had a hand in it (probably??)#(imo). like Talia doesn’t have it. neither do Damian or Ra’s or anyone else who’s been in the pit.#jason todd#dc#batman annual 25#comic panels

something about the tiktok ban that i haven't really seen people here talking about is the experience of tiktok users not from the usa, which was, as far as i can tell, on the whole, very positive. it was actually really nice to, for a short period of time, be on a major social media network and able to interact with people across the world without usamericans constantly inserting themselves into every conversation.
usamericans kind of take over people's fyp regardless of where you're from. this is partly to do with the fact that the creators fund is only available to usamericans so most of the shitty content farms are from the us. then there's also the cultural aspect of the fact that being a citizen of the most powerful empire in the world is a significant privilege, and also a privilege that 99% of usamericans are seemingly unable to acknowledge, plus the us centrism and exceptionalism, plus the constant need to cast themselves as the underdog, and, well. it's annoying.
so, like. everything of what i've seen (which is not to say that other opinions don't exist, just that i haven't seen them) is that it was really nice when the usamericans were gone, and it kind of sucks that they're back.
#tiktok ban#<- for those who are (very justifiably) sick of hearing about this#anyway also important to note that 99% of what ive seen has been from europeans canadians and australians#and i can guess that for people from asian african and south american countries it was probably just their feed being taken over by#other annoying english speakers rather than usamericans#and the 'commonwealth tiktok' thing (especially the fact that its referring to specifically uk canada and australia#and NO OTHER COMMONWEALTH COUNTRIES)#is uh. not great!#so im not saying like. magical utopia where everyone was equal#but im just saying that. idk there is no global major social media that isn't overrun with usamericans#and for about a day there was#anyway would be cool to hear from other non-usamericans!#especially if you're not european nor from from a european settler state#question is there a specific word/phrase that would include the citizens of countries like the usa/canada/australia/etc#but not the indigenous people of those places?#and no just saying white doesnt work because in those countries non-indigenous minority ethnic groups are still there under#the authority of a colonial government#and also im talking about privilege along the axis of nationality here as opposed to race/ethnicity#and the question of nationality gets complicated when we're talking about specifically the indigenous people of#an area currently controlled by a settled colonial state#ALSO also in regards to the fact that the whole thing was a trump propaganda stunt#and that there's now censorship of things trump doesnt like#its yet another example of how everyone else in the world gets directly affected by us politics#despite the fact that in this case the social media isnt even a us company#and not to say that it doesnt also suck for usamericans#many of whom voted for harris#but also. at least you got a vote.#the rest of us just have to live with the fact that whoever you guys elect will have a direct impact on our lives#and usamericans just don't experience this. like e.g. british elections have no impact on your lives#but your elections have a massive impact on our lives (and even worse for countries in the global south)

one of my favorite things about getting older is that I’m just more sure and more confident in taking control in social situations and making other people feel at ease. I really love it!
#have always wanted to be good at it but it takes time#at least for me#my mom was describing one of her college friends to me the other day#and she goes ‘yeah she was kind of like you. personable and direct and kind.#‘and she was always going to deal with you (positive) instead of ignoring you’#honestly compliment of all time! because it does not come totally naturally to me#and there’s a lot that gets in my way—shyness anxiety a certain stiffness#but I love when i can feel it sort of giving way#anyway just rambling#also once again teaching has helped with this so much#because kids HAVE to be guided through a social situation. they don’t know what to do#and if I let them run it it’s always stupid#so just taking control asking the questions kind of —situating them so we can have a moment and then I can dismiss them#not that I do the same with adults lol. but works more often than you think#just having some direction and taking charge of a social interaction#I remember this comedian once saying he loved when someone took control in a social situation re: greetings/handshakes/hugs#like ‘oh thank goodness someone is figuring this out’ it’s so true and so funny skskdkdjd#I hope there is nothing peremptory about it! but I often find I’m so much ruder by doing nothing#than by being proactively kind and (hopefully) appropriate to the occasion#you know I’ve spoken on it before but my life really changed#when I made myself go back and say goodbye to my students after graduation my second year teaching#like. I literally ran away because I was so shy and it felt so awkward and no one was taking charge of how to do it#and the students wouldn’t (can’t) so it felt like they didn’t want to#and then I realized no—if someone is going to take the lead here it has to be me#and then I did! and there was in fact so much love waiting for me#people just don’t know how to show it#so you have to give them an opportunity#this is so many thoughts but I feel this sooooo much and I care about it so much

“The Killing of Moon Knight,” Vengeance of the Moon Knight (Vol. 2/2024), #9.
Writer: Jed MacKay; Penciler and Inker: Devmalya Pramanik; Colorist: Rachelle Rosenberg; Letterer: Cory Petit
#Marvel#Marvel comics#Marvel 616#Vengeance of the Moon Knight#Vengeance of the Moon Knight vol. 2#Vengeance of the Moon Knight 2024#Moon Knight comics#latest release#Moon Knight#Mr. Knight#Marc Spector#Hunter’s Moon#Yehya Badr#Max Coleridge#the «Dr. Moon» look is critically underused#that aside#this is one of those cases where even if you see a twist coming I at least am not mad about it because it works so well within the story#I didn’t want to see Marc going back to just killing people because someone told him to#and this loophole fits so nicely where Marc’s at now (as perhaps best evidenced in that last panel)#Marc’s still the same adrenaline hound but what really gets me is the contrast#Marc saved Max’s life not to lord it over him for the rest Max’s days/demand penance or servitude#but all he requests/ wants is for Max to genuinely get better#(it’s strategic in that that means the community won’t have that brand of vigilante violence going down#but it’s also personal in that he believes Max can get better and FEEL better#something Marc believes because if it could happen to him it could happen for just about anyone)#in /direct/ contrast to Khonshu’s demands from his servants in exchange for their lives

Top 3 of your favorite tropes and top 3 of the tropes you hate
OOOOH I LOVE QUESTIONS LIKE THIS TYSM ANON :3 and these are in so particular order i love and hate these all the same :3
top 3 favorite tropes:
- BEST FRIENDS TO LOVERS YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FAMOUS TO ME! YOU’VE BEEN THE REALEST BITCH SINCE DAY 1 AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO BE THAT BITCH!!!!! i LOVE the idea that these two characters are already so intertwined, they know everything about each other and maybe it’s one little thing that makes the other fall in love and realize that Holy Shit… i think i love my best friend. AND THEN THE RECIPROCITY OF IT ALL??? it’s the idea that this person KNOWS you and SEES you and LOVES you for who you are, and thinks that they could see their entire life with you. it’s the intimacy & devotion & attentiveness it’s the GENUINENESS that gets me everytime :’) perks if the character gets a little jealous/protective of reader like I’M EATING IT UP!
- I ALSO LOVE HURT/COMFORT! emphasis on the hurt and the comfort like i LOVE reading about readers getting upset at the character for maybe something they said/did and then the character feeling guilty :3 just something about them thinking about what happened and seeing where they messed up… the DESIRE to fix it and make it all better… sniffles. i just love conversations too i think often times the dialogue in a fic like this is really good and same with the emotions they evoke! maybe it was an argument and now they’re sitting down and talking about it… the character comforting reader and apologizing and kissing them softly… yeah i Like that
- this changes all the time i like more tropes than i hate so hmmm anything with friends to lovers, established relationship, practically any type of au + no curses!au, smut fics, crack fluff humor fics, horror fics, & dilf fics i like :O)
top 3 least favorite tropes:
- i HATE academic rivals… any ones that i’ve read have made both reader & the character such insufferable people that i’m not rooting for any of them and in fact am praying on their downfall (i hope they fail everything! failing builds character and these characters that i read have No Character or Redeemable Personalities) they’re both pretty pathetic & annoying and just aren’t likable when i read an academic rivals au fic… like why are y’all both so rude with a stick up your literal ass omfg calm down you have an A in english already why are you being so annoyingnfnfnfn 😭
- miscommunication trope can die in a DITCH i HATE that bitch!!!!! LIKE FUCK CAN Y’ALL JUST COMMUNICATE LIKE REGULAR PEOPLE INSTEAD OF BEING PURPOSEFULLY OBTUSE AND WHINING ABOUT IT??? i’ll kill both reader and the character with sticks i’m a violent person when it comes to miscommunication like… esp when it goes on for SO long, like at a certain point it truly becomes frustrating to read! miscommunication when done well can be decent — it can service the story! but when it isn’t… it’s just annoying
- this one is tricky but enemies to lovers when there’s no basis of a friendship ever happening so it makes no sense that they become lovers… like you’re telling me this character who’s been awful beyond belief was just doing all this because they had a wittle cwush they didn’t know how to articulate??? and reader falls for it??? now i have to beat everyone up like don’t do that… i think enemies to lovers is something that HAS to be written with love as an endgame in mind and those nuggets need to follow it during the story… if not, then it’s just bullying/two people hating each other and i don’t know about you, but when i hate someone i HATE them. also i hate when betrayal is involved or cheating is involved like i’m sorry but i’ll never love you again after that — i feel like some things are irredeemable and it just feels pathetic to me when a reader takes the character back. like grow a BACKBONE!
also just a personal thing for me too like i never read fics with readers who become curse users along with geto like i would never follow that dumb bitch… like what do you MEAN you’re leaving/betraying satoru to go with that idiot who got his ass BEAT by a non-sorcerer??? you’re on the losing team! could never be me! also i don’t like nanako/mimiko personally so i never read fics as them as reader’s kids… i just can’t do it i hate his little cult family so much they’re all v weak & annoying to me 😭 that’s why i always write heavenly restriction!readers, they’ll always have Power over suguru & are on gojo’s/toji’s side rather than suguru’s when it comes 2 jujutsu! so yeah :3
#asks#anon#i hate pathetic insufferable people like if you don’t grow a fucking spine rn… maybe it’s the aries in me idk#even READING about a sniveling reader makes me vomit . pick yourself up. if you don’t i’ll kill you with my hands and end your suffering#none of this is directed at my moots btw my moots can write one of my least fav tropes and make into an amazing fic so it TRULY depends#on the author who’s writing it and HOW they write it! that’s why i like inverting certain tropes & how people see certain characters#*subverting is the proper word#BUT I LOVE A LOT OF TROPES AND STYLES OF FICS! there are some i’m just not Interested in so i didn’t put them in the hated tropes#but yeah methinks this covers it ;3 if there’s anything you have q’s about please lmk! :D thanks again for the fun ask hehe i enjoyed it :3

Man that DLC's final boss has got me feeling kinda fucked. I'm kinda depressed about it now that I'm done. Everything else is, was, so good. But I do not like that plot development. I honestly think it is bad. Why did they choose not to foreshadow this in literally any way? Why did Miquella attempt to resurrect Godwyn at all in the first place, then? Practice? Was this really what was originally planned? There's no actual evidence to the contrary so you gotta assume it must've been.
So yeowch...
#sote spoilers#elden ring#tlgtw ooc#literally actually nothing from the base game is resolved. Except where the Land of the Numen were.#That in itself is fine tho--actually. It's clearly a statement: Marika's hair talisman from Shaman Village confirms this for me.#Some things are lost to history or just plain out of reach. And there's nothing anyone can do about it.#We'll never ACTUALLY know who the Gloam-Eyed Queen was--just that all signs pointed to Miquella.#But there's no way to confirm it: Nobody's alive to tell the tale.#So like. THAT part. The extancy of all those unanswered questions. I actually am not gonna lie I kinda really like that. Despite everything#But I think Radahn Consort of Miquella is fucking terrible. “Miquella saw how kind Radahn was” I'm sorry HOW kind was Radahn?#The fucking infinite warmonger who literally explicitly made himself a copy of Godfrey?#There are literally ZERO examples of Radahn being kind in any way. Outside of having one (1) pet horse.#It should've been Godwyn. I'm not even kidding. Godwyn at least is someone who has explicitly succeeded in diplomacy.#Since he befriended his mortal enemy Fortissax and spared the Ancient Dragons by creating the Dragon Cult.#THAT'S something you could point to as an example of kindness. Especially since that's Godfrey's direct heir.#WHAT the FUCK does RADAHN do?????#He doesn't do anything!!! He just kills people!!#We never even get to see what weapon Godwyn used to use!#I don't like it. I think it is not very good.#Rest of the DLC is astounding but how can it all lead up to that? Ah...#Nothing like I had imaged: There's a lot I have to figure out now.

One of the biggest problems of writing that Frasier post is that the logic of 90s comedies is not real life logic. It's not just that you can just pick which exaggerated thing to believe more (and sometimes you need to outright pick between two mutually excluding canon facts), but also the degree to which you believe anything. Which is fun for theorizing but also terrible for theorizing because to argue one way or another you need to create the fiction that the coherent narrative you are pointing out has value of truth in a universe where the value of truth is the rule of funny.
#This I'm saying about Frasier applies to others btw of course#like The Nanny suffers from those very same problems too#plus prestige tv in the early 2000s really messed with people's understanding of the extreme make-up-as-you-go quality of older tv#It's acknowledged with Cheers for the most part#But like yes Maris becomes more and more of a monster as seasons go by because the creators did take a direction after a few seasons#but seasons 1 and 2 at the very list (of Frasier I mean) are VERY undecided on whether they are going to save Niles and Maris' marriage#or take the Daphne route#And there's so much about expected genre tropes and the structure of sitcoms involved in those decisions!#the rule of funny being the main rule of a world above that of coherence and plausibility truly is a double edged sword#Like I'm confident I can write a narrative as to why Maris is actually not a monster at all in the first seasons of Frasier#And that at the very least some of the jokes are not meant to be taken seriously#but then to prove that I would have to point out all the times the narrative shows Niles mirroring Maris' bad traits#which of course are also ruled by the rule of funny!#Niles worrying about Maris ogling the pool boy while he's been ogling Daphne#Niles talking fondly of how one of their favorite past times when they were just married#was to laugh at people who wore white after labor day!#someone else could of course believe THESE are the ones played more for comedic effect#and believe the meanness of Maris as more real#(again still talking those early seasons)#and like it's not that serious#horrible people can be entertaining and comedy capitalizes on that#it's the emotional equivalent to the physical violence in old cartoons#it's not supposed to be realistic and taking it to be so is silly#on the other hand reimaging how the characters and the story could go in different directions#if the story WAS a drama is deeply compelling#but then how to convey you are just having fun theorizing the dramatic possibilities of unserious comedy#without coming across as if you were taking the comedy to be a drama#see the tough spot I'm in

"you're only upset about that because you were directly affected by it" you're right. that's exactly why I'm upset and exactly why you should be a little more fuckin mindful of the shit you say
#🪖.ben#about the arson again but also just trauma in general#I only care this much because it directly affected me yes#but I also have a fuckin brain and know when I should respect that people sometimes experience shit that I haven't#and even if I can't empathize with that I can at least respect that some things upset people#you don't have to have first hand trauma in order to respect other people's trauma#not directed#just rambling

as someone who isnt super excited for sotm for certain reasons I am really glad that like. it's clear that since ruin theyve been setting up for carnival and sotm IS carnival. so now that carnival is finally coming out, afterwards theyll be moving on to other plotlines since the main villain stuff is sorted out
I'm just rlly happy to finally see a clear direction for how the story is gonna be playing out with like "okay these games were leading up to this so after this will be open possibilites" instead of like. absolutely no info about each upcoming game and being left guessing before it releases and just having to wait and see what's in it and if anything you're looking forward to will be in it
it feels like they have a plan and a solid direction for what they're trying to do and after carnival releases thatll be all that buildup coming to fruition. & we already know from the Scott interview that theres another release 'beyond sotm' that's 'super exciting' so maybe thatll be focusing on another big currently untouched (which is basically all of them) plotline, or even the big campaign game that dawko has been calling security breach 2
#even if i dislike how theyve been handling this whole mimic cassies dad factory mapbot bonnie bully stuff#the past like 2 releases 3 after sotm#after watching johns theory video it really does feel like stuff was more purposeful with thought put into it when u plug in cassies dad#even if the plot of him being behind mxes and trapping mimic is pushing other more important characters aside#its probably what happened and accepting that makes the story at least seem more thought out#it did make me feel better about it bc like. it at least feels like theyre cooking#like what theyre working on DOES have a direction and a plan and it isnt just random stuff like how it felt when hw2 came out#i might still think that the stuff theyve been doing the past few releases is boring af and uninteresting#compared to earlier concepts like focusing on vanny and the possession aspects and sentient glamrocks#(we could see more of it with freddy if theyd let him come back ever)#but like. at least it has thought put into it and feels like theyre actually trying to set shit up for something#like sotm is an ORIGIN#the tagline was 'sometimes you have to understand the past to see the future'#at the end of the day sotm is a setup for a campaign thatll take place in present day anf#even if its taking ten thousand years to get there im excited for it#aka its taken a long time to tell this story setup of cassies dad and mimic and shit and it might be boring for some people#(me)#but at the end of the day its meant to be setup explaining the past of why mimic exists (even if that's already in tbe books)#so after we 'understand' it we can get back to present day#and focus on its current victims vanessa gregory cassie etc#cassies dad is 100% dead if hw2s protag is him so he woukdnt be relevant anymore. just another character thing to serve cassie#im just saying like after sotm its wide open for getting back to the plot#and i think its actually right to say that bc like all of this has been setup. if hw2 protag is cassies dad its a prequel to ruin#so rn ruin is the most recent game in the timeline. meaning the next game that takes place in current tjme will focus on the current mains#Gregory cassie vanessa#sorry for fnaf plot posting again ive been thinking about it a lot the past few days#thought id balance some negative ive posted with a positive since im feeling better about it myself :)#one day we're gonna be so back and its gonna be great#its just gonna be a long annoying wait lmao#thoughts

This moment in Udon was impactful to me when i read it the first time and it still hits. Rebels being beaten down for years (i want to point out the way Luffy said it, the eng sub said "...got your spirits shattered!" but 心の中までバキバキに折られやがって to me felt more like "from even the bottom of your hearts you've been broken (to pieces)"), and the way they had it in their heads that even if all hope is lost, at least they're still alive, their utter hopelessness- and then the anger Luffy, literal hope incarnate, had, telling them that being imprisoned shouldn't be your daily life, that this isn't being alive at all.
Such a good scene
#re-experiencing wano#折られやがって is kind of a harsh way to say it too and it goes without saying but mayumi tanaka delivereddd on all of her lines. so so good#im not a translator at all but i just wanna share ig#a big part of why i wanted to watch wano was to hear it in JP to compare it w english (cause i can't read jp well but-#-at least i can pick up nuances by hearing T_T small mercies)#but anyways yeah#luffy being direct and giving people reality checks *chefs kiss*#monkey d. luffy#one piece

caught in the extremely weird limbo in fandom spaces where i have never once seen any, like, canonically sex-positive ace/romance-positive aro characters (or demi/gray/etc), but aphobia is so widespread in fandom on the grounds of "BUT AROACE PPL CAN STILL BE IN RELATIONSHIPS/HAVE SEX" that it like. almost feels wrong somehow to be making or headcanoning characters as romance/sex positive at all bc fully ace/aro or -repulsed ppl already get barely anything in fandom spaces. idk girl help
#idk. many of the protagonists in my wips are aroacespec in at least one direction but#i am not. having a great time. with the underlying fear of Am I Just Contributing To Fandom Aphobia#by reaffirming that Aroace People Can Still Date And Fuck Btw#mine#fandom#anyway ignore me i havent eaten all day so im just real grumpy rn. my demigray ass is creating a torment nexus for itself

every time I see a “it’s actually totally fine and nbd to have sex you don’t enjoy and are uncomfortable with because your partner wants it and you want them to be happy, as long as you’re giving uncoerced consent!” post I lose a month off my lifespan
#can /some people/ do this and have it be healthy for them? sure#but this is the overwhelming pressure both in a relationship and from society#and ime at least it has fucked me up a lot#to have sex i technically gave uncoerced consent to#where i was uncomfortable and unhappy and doing it to try and make my partner happy#bonus points for ‘it’s just like any other activity! just like you can watch a movie you don’t like for the sake of your partner#you can take a few hours to have sex you don’t like for them’#like come on now.#sex is not in fact psychologically identical to movies for most people#when i was a kid my school often made me watch movies I didn’t like or want to watch#you can say this isn’t ideal but#surely you can see. how this is different. than if they had made me have sex i didn’t want.#whatever WHATEVERRRRRR i know the sentiment is helpful for a lot of ppl#and i probably go too hard in the opposite direction#but im not framing myself as a wise advice giver im just rambling in tumblr tags abt my issues#if i were giving advice. well personally i would try to be more nuanced#than ‘don’t worry about it! it’s fine and normal to have sex you’re uncomfortable with and if you disagree you’re acephobic’#but that’s just me.#therapists dni#oh also I agree that people shouldn’t have to fake ‘normal reactions’ to sex#or to try and have orgasms if that’s unrewarding for them etc#im stone! its complicated! i get it!#but you gotta be careful to give the message ‘it’s complicated’#and not just. encouraging ppl to do things they’re genuinely uncomfortable with to make their partner happy.

promising myself that if I send in five job applications or more in the next 24 hours I can give myself a little treat (an 8x10 of paulie I saw on eBay that made me downright critically DEHYDRATED for that man)
#do we think I can do it?#I've got one already that I want to apply for but I haven't yet because Laptop#unfortunately I need to find a new job in a new fucking city that I don't necessarily choose but I'm hoping I can make a great new start-#outta this. but jesus in this job market my anxiety is turbo charged#for someone that is Aggressively Mid at pretty much everything I touch I'm shitting BRICKS#on the bright side I can consider myself a jack of all trades; master of none#so like. that's handy I guess? that's basically what being a PA is. you just do whatever needs to be done#but you never do specific things on a regular enough basis to be like Oh I Fuckin Got This#except floor directing. floor directing my BELOVEDDDDDD#you'll have to pry it out of my cold dead hands. gimme the late nights free flowing coffee and summoning cheerleader energy out of nowhere#and im in my fuckin ELEMENT. bitch you better believe I make sure my talent knows what needs to happen and when it needs to happen!!!!#I have never been good at being social for a day in my life but. put me in an environment I am at home in with majority people I'm-#-comfortable with and I turn into a fuckin social BUTTERFLY#I have at least one mutual here that's a witness. I swear on my life. something in me changes when it's five minutes to studio
