#as somebody who is unfortunately probably older than a lot of other people here by now#lemme just do my thing and dispense wisdom nobody asked for once more#guess what adults also still crave that parenting they never got when they were younger too#or perhaps that overindulgent parenting that they got spoiled by and addicted to#emotionally my 88 year old grandma is still a child on the inside looking for her dad to tell her she did a good job#and if you don't take steps to be aware of it#and to cultivate self-worth and solace in something other than receiving that one specific thing#and learn to be present with the people around you and how to focus on what you can give to others as much as what you can receive#that craving never really goes away#you can spend your entire life with tunnel vision chasing it#the older people in your life probably still feel that craving just as strongly as you do#they just had to eventually come to terms with it somehow carry on and start trying to take care of the younger people as best they can#definitely hilarious when you realize you're like the parent figure to people when you're like omg no i still didn't get to be the baby yet#and often times you also will become the parent figure to people much older than yourself as well#including (perhaps) eventually your own parents#anyways i would say that explains a lot about the dumbness of adults of all ages#it definitely sucks but#i think the nice thing to do is to try to give the younger people more of the understanding and support that will hopefully help them#be well-adjusted and prepare#for their own fun times in their 20s and beyond#if you can#seeing it more as building community rather than engaging in competition is the goal for me these days#p

It’s not that Jason came back to a changed family where he didn’t fit into the gap he left behind anymore. It’s the fact that his family never scooted over to make more space for him once he returned.
#jason todd#jason todd meta#<- mini and tagging because I can <3#going insane over Jason being fine with changing but never expected that the others around him wouldn’t acknowledge change#like Jason was alive before anyone else knew. he knew he was different. he was around for those years before he returned to Gotham#Bruce—and others—thought hw was still underground#Jason had years to adjust to himself (no matter how well he did or didn’t) while the others had to play catch up#Jason wasn’t trying to squeeze himself back into the dynamic that once was#but he didn’t expected to be shoved back into that space and then denied more by others#jason fully preparing for one obvious outcome unaware that theirs another hiding in plain sight is murdering me#I was going to add caveats but I’m going to try to trust others to acknowledge long term relationships and not just focus on pre-flashpoint#returned as in both to Gotham and as a ‘prodigal son’ <-you all know how I feel about that :/

What was Lights out! Frank's reaction to crazy ass Lights out! Wally?
ah i wouldn't call him crazy, Wally's just desensitized to the Horrors and acts accordingly. which is occasionally a little unhinged. but no yeah Frank has a proper freakout <3 he has a hard time adjusting to certain aspects of.... everything. including Wally yeah
(don't bother trying to read this i know its terrible handwriting lmao, it's p much just to show Frank's spiral <3)
#wally when frank first wakes up: omg!!! im not alone!!! a friend!!!#wally ten minutes later: hey frank maybe you should go back to sleep. just a thought#LISTEN listen when youve been completely alone for ages and you have a Routine and youre Used to it#its a little very much fucking annoying to have it all Abruptly Disrupted#wally is used to quiet. hes used to his version of peace and routine#then frank barges in with his panic and Noise and general Thereness#wally is understandably very quickly Done With It#scribble salad#wh lights out au#they do have a fight over The Arm™️ i think#frank doesn't really get it at first. he will eventually#eddie's hat becomes his version of it#and julie's necktie i think. he might wind up wearing it on his wrist. idk tho still workshopping the wardrobe changes and such#but uhhhh yeah frank reacts Not Well!#its just a long day of continuous: what the fuck? What The Fuck? WHAT THE FUCK?!#theres just such a disconnect between his and wallys experiences#he hasnt had the chance to adjust or even prepare#very jarring for them both...

I think people overestimate how feminist team black is. If someone brings up how Baela should be the heir to Driftmark, it's always "she would've been Queen if not for the Greens!", ignoring that 1, she would be Queen consort, not a Queen in her own right, and 2 she has a legitimate claim in her own right to Driftmark. Team Black's goal is to crown Rhaenyra, but Rhaenyra becoming Queen isn't a win for feminism because it does nothing to dismantle the rest of the patriarchal system that exists in Westeros. From what we've gotten so far, it reads that Rhaenyra wants to be the exception and not the rule. Rhaenyra has made a lot of bad political decisions, which means she can't acknowledge Baela's claim because it would weaken her own claim (blatantly admitting her eldest sons are illegitimate would not end well for her to say the least). So she betrothes Jace and Luke to Baela and Rhaena to kind of atone for that, like as a consolation prize Baela will be Queen and Rhaena will be lady of Driftmark, neither of them would hold either title in their own right. It's good matches because the kids like each other and will treat each other well, but it's not a feminist win or a feministic liberation. It's usurpation, usurpation that takes place because Rhaenyra has to do damage control after having illegitimate children and after a serious of bad political decisions (both hers and her fathers, Viserys is the arbiter of this entire mess). To me, Rhaenyra is very reminiscent of Mary Queen of Scots, I can see a lot of elements drawn from Mary's history in Rhaenyra's story and character, down to their sons eventually taking the crown they failed to claim/keep.
#hotd#hotd spoilers#house of the dragon#house of the dragon spoilers#Rhaenyra targaryen critical#I'm going to do a rewatch prior to season 2 & I'm going to analyse the bad political decisions from vis & Rhaenyra that lead to the dance#like by no means the only factors at play lets not forget otto daemon larys etc#but it's an interesting factor that the fandom doesn't really acknowledge#and a lot of Rhaenyra's bad political decisions are understandable because of her youth and because viserys does fuck all to prepare her#like even if she wasn't who he choose as heir she should've been given a better political education as a princess#but vis fails his most of his other four kids in that regard to#i mean he also fails to acknowledge them or remember them but anyways#he is a huge part of the reason aegon and aemond became he they did#props to whoever probably alicent for sending daeron to oldtown so he could grow up well adjusted#alicent: i'm writing a letter to daeron is there anything you would like to say to him?#viserys: daemon? why are you writing to daemon?#alicent: daeron?#viserys: who?#alicent: our son? the one you sent to squire in oldtown?#viserys: i think i'd remember if we had a son who's name was one letter different to my brothers#viserys: in fact i do alicent do you mean the one who lost an eye?#alicent: *screaming internally*#viserys targaryen#king viserys#rhaenyra is such an interesting character but i hate how the fandom sanctified her because how dare characters be complex and have flaws#like you dont have to justify their actions or bend over backwards to deny their faults to like a character you know 😭#and the same thing is done to daemon who is far more fucked up and far more flawed in the show than the fandom allows#i hate the team stuff tho i get hbo going for it as a marketing move that was genius but my god are certain stans insufferable#the entire point of the dance is that its a pointless tragedy there's no good or bad side theyre both awful in their own ways#but thats a longer rant for another time outside of the tags

awful, just awful
#succession#tomgreg#biting my pillow like that dog meme#where do i even begin with this TOM IS LIKE A SCHOOLBOY WITH GREG ITS ACTUALLY INSANE#he reverts to like 20 years younger from his emotional swings to his obvious crush#and his EXPRESSIONS THROUGHOUT THIS SCENE BY TALOS MY STOMACH IS IN MY ASS. MATTHEW!!!!!#his hurt at the thought that greg might somehow be trying to blackmail him again to just sadness because of greg's fear of going to jail#his downcast eyes as he says ''yeah'' SHUT the up#like yeah maybe he's reflecting on his own hurt and pain at the fact that he's going to jail and shiv handed him another rejection#just before. or maybe. he doesn't like hearing greg suffer like this. i mean. from what i know about later#that tom is fully prepared to go to jail and ''throw it all out for love'' or whatever tf for greg's sake#it's just. it's plausible is all i'll say. it's very plausible when we think about that future scene.#idk i just think that people refuse to hear when anyone would say tom is absolutely GASPING to love somebody. like yeah he's got issues#but who tf is well adjusted in this economy LMAOOO even in these rich fucks' worlds nobody is#so i know. i'm not stupid i know he can be nasty. but so can all of them. GREG WAS PREPARED TO SUE GREENPEACE AJDLAKDAD#i mean idk if he will. but my point is if tom wasn't like that he wouldn't be such a good character imo. if he was just a straight up#asshole. who would care if something bad happened to him? i wouldn't. something that makes him so compelling to me#is that he can be SO WRATHFUL AND MANIACAL#but he can be so. so fucking soft and vulnerable at the same time. and matthew plays him so organically i just wanna fuckin WEEP#and then GREG here. he wasn't even thinking about using a connection of any way to get ahead he just wants to be saved. he's still early 20s#i believe anyway. and tom has taken care of him. looked after him#protected him. he always listens to him. he's learned that tom is there for him so ofc he's gonna plead for help but like. not directly#''just asking for advice'' = i'm fucking terrified how do i make it stop help me#hoe but keep it fashion#SORRY GOD I KEEP DOING NOVELS IN THE TAGS BUT GODDDDDD THIS IS SO MUCH evyerhting is sos oafujfdmwkqfd#ok i'm stopping now but anyway. they're important to me. sorry. sorry bye

I know it seems like I'm working on everything but theogony atm but I am working on it I promise. I am just also working on the unclaiming and timshel and hair shaker. and I am stress cleaning my apartment. and I have a job
#I am well adjusted and prepared for adulthood <3#being a hobby writer is hilarious because while I understand that the culture surrounding fic#is one of sort of blind support and kindness#(and that I could never move to traditional publishing bc of a) lack of skill and b)#inability to handle a level of professional critique)#I still feel an angry mob over my shoulder despite THERE NOT BEING ONE!!!#I'm that character in the old story who hears the heart beating in the house!!!!!!!!!#clare shitposts

would it surprise you if me, the person who waxes poetic about cannibalism being the purest form of love was actually kind of put off by red meat
#[guy who was raised catholic voice] you can't just tell me for 15 years that eating the body of our Lord is a representation of his love for#us and then have me not turn out a cannibalism obsessed freak#sorry I don't think I've talked about this on Tumblr before I swear I'm normal and well adjusted#anyways yeah my dad buying sub par cuts of beef and preparing them poorly also for like 15 years means the taste and texture of beef is#unpleasant at best. hamburgers ok. anything not ground is Eugh. pork too even though it's classification of a red meat is [wobbles hand]#I don't doubt good steak exists and I would be willing to try it again someday but it's not something I want to seek out myself#living dead text

Steven Stone manages to broker peace between Team Aqua and Team Magma by being really into cave diving. This temporarily ruins the idea of diving or caving for all other parties involved and they combine arms against it
#the steven im drafting up in my head is a healthy well adjusted individual who doesnt even have a spark of mania in his eyes#and is into cave diving. which is a mental illness category completely on its own#just a normal guy that's into cave diving and fully prepared to sacrifice himself to Save The World.#pokemon#steven stone#rambles

((Okay! Gonna watch this video then do a handful of replies (on here and Rogue's account) before I do other stuff.
I'm currently trying to figure out how to balance things, like the new job, still trying to get things in order (we might have been done unpacking by now but my sister has been almost constantly sick with one thing or another since we moved- one of the joys of living near our niece and nephew during cold and flu season ^^;). I think I'll have both Friday and Monday off, and maybe part / most of next week, too. So that time is going to be split between trying to catch up on some replies and also trying to get at least my bedroom in order since I've been so focused on doing the main rooms ^^;
Love ya'll~))
#ooc.#((Work has been going well by the way! It's just been weird adjusting to the schedule.#Also- since it's a substitute job I'll probably have to get a second part-time job after Christmas.#So I've gotta be prepared for that ^^;))#((Also also-! Sorry for going silent ooc again. I'm shit at keeping up with it#but it's mostly just because my social battery is back to nearly dead#and I worry that's gonna be more consistent now that I'm living near family again...))

i will remain normal about having to actually spend my time studying and not hang out with people <- (lying)
#finals. kicking my ass#i don't play either of my ttrpg games this week#most of my friends (here or online) either also have finals or still have classes so I can't hang out with them#can't make the 'studying together' excuse to hang out with my partner because we're hideously unproductive in each other's presence#and i shouldn't even be hanging out with people even if there were people who were available#because *i* need to prepare for finals#and it's like. hgmhmghmgh i get done with finals. and then i have to leave#and i don't get to see my friends for 4 months#and i don't have any friends in my hometown because i never bothered to make any#because i was like. well i'm leaving and never coming back anywya#that decision is biting me in the ass#anyway i'm so mad I only really started being social in the past 2 months#because i got used to it and idk how well i'll adjust to my normal solitude#hmmmmmmmmmmmm pain#i got one more time to hang out with people after finals#my partner and i are going on a 'double date' with my roommate and his boyfriend#which should be fun actually#and then it's Rot Together Time until i actually have to go home#zephyr talks

Nothing brings me closer to the edge of "huh maybe I do have a touch of the autism" than shopping
#anne speaks#as in i fucking DESPISE it unless it's specifically catered to me#i need to be warned about it in advance. i need to know what time we're going. ideally i need to know what time we're done#i have to mentally prepare myself and dedicate a specific amount of energy for the act in advance#and so help me gods if i bring my mum i will full on rage quit within two hours#she's one for 'oh this piece of clothing might be good for you' then holds up the least me thing in the world#or goes all 'uhh i dont know...' concerned if it either shows too much cleavage or is not neat and feminine enough#and then on top of that is like#okay but that costs money so how about we go to an extra store that you werent prepared for to see if they have the same thing but cheaper#you CANNOT add to my mental list of what im expecting im running FAST out of my prepped energy and i WILL start snapping at u#she asked what i would like for my bday and i was like 'well okay i do wanna refresh my wardrobe a little'#she asked what im thinking of style wise but like a) how do i say mum you cant buy me clothes without me feeling like a silicon valley wife#and b) how do i say 'i want butch i want gender i want playful i miss my theatre days i want artist i want boho'#anyway. i have now been convinced to go shopping with my sister who is a lot more tolerable bc she's young and hip and less scared to play#but im still like 'okay what time? okay give me a second to think if i want to go? i need to mentally adjust'#and my mum kept saying 'oh you can go then and after youll come back together' THATS NOT A TIME MOTHER#i need to know! when im going!! so i know how much time i have to mentally prepare#anyway. this is my essay on why shopping makes me autistic#there is Very Little that does this to me. usually i embrace chaos#but oh man. yeah no thanks#anyway fingers crossed everyone that i come back from town looking artsy and gender

#it’s amazing how…in the span of four short months…i went from feeling well-adjusted and prepared for what lies ahead#to second guessing everything and feeling like I did during the pandemic when I felt trapped and nothing made sense#i need to sit down with someone and plan things out#time to let go of my worries and just ask to meet with a few people from the linguistics department#i need help coming up with a plan for an article. I’m out of funding options but whatever. I’ll find some other ones later.#i need someone to help me see why this shit matters because my burnout and depression won’t let me see it#goddamn it I will fight back. I will claw my way all the way to Canada if I have to#depression is not going to stop me and neither is burnout#i will not sit idly by and let my dreams fly away from me#I’m going whether any of them like it or not
