#because seriously everyone would be SO traumatized by the entire situation

[swagging-back-to]

L is fucking heinous and DESERVED TO DIE SOONER!

[candyskiez]

I don't know how to explain why but the Teru vs Mob fight literally would not have been so gutwrenching if they hadn't drawn it like. That. Like. They're so clearly kids. And it's not gorey it's just. Impossible to forget that the violence is horrible and extremely painful for Mob and that this is serious and this isn't a fun game, neither of them are having fun, this isn't a cool anime battle they look like children. Teru is just a kid who's a bully and who's scared that this literal other child isn't acting how he's Supposed to and he doesn't know if he's a threat. And mobs just a kid whos so scared and doesn't want anything bad to happen. You cannot forget at any moment of the fight that nobody is having fun.

It's just hard to watch. It's just two kids having a horrible day because both of their trauma is getting hit in the face and it's awful and seeing ???% isn't cool or a relief its just. Oh, he's freaking out. Oh, he's in. So much pain. Him defeating Teru wasn't exciting or good it just Happened and obviously you're glad Mob survived but it's just so fucking brutal.

And then Teru really romanticizes it, because. It's good. It was a good thing. It was a very good thing. It saved him. This is good. Kageyama is good. This wasn't horrible or traumatic or the worst day of his life. He needs Mob to be Perfect so he can hide from how horrible everything that happened was. He cannot face what he did as something horrible, it's just the events in a story. It was just a Big Anime Fight he lost. It's fine. He learned from it so it was a good thing. He could've died but that's fine. His entire school came apart before his eyes but that's fine. He could've killed someone but that's fine. His entire world view was flipped on its head and he was alone but. That's. Fine. He needs it to be Good. So he pretends it didn't happen usually. He doesn't apologize because that's not how stories go. Even though he had nightmares about what he did. And he massively romanticizes Mob's powers because he NEEDS to. It's the only way he can make that fight not "we could've killed each other". He absolutely cannot see Mob as anything other than Incredible and Wonderful or his entire world view and self image fall apart. Again. He like duck taped them back together.

But in confession arc he looks at what's happening and how everyone is so horribly affected and terrified and he finally admits to himself: I am terrified. This is terrifying. This is a painful, horrible situation. I don't feel good. He's not the main character. All of this is awful and I hate it and everyone hates it and he probably does too.

I could've died. He could've died. That was horrible. That day was horrible.

And by admitting to himself, that day was horrible he can actually HELP mob. Because he can admit that Mob was crying, not because he's a wonderful saint who wanted to save him but because that was a horrible experience! All of that was horrible! They both just had probably the worst day of their lives up until that point! (Except for the Ritsu incident) And he was crying. And he sees that Mob was alone too. Mob was MISERABLE. His powers terrified him. Mob wasn't gifted, none of them are, it's not a story, it's real life and Mob was a person with flaws. And he can admit this all really happened, and it was bad. I need to take this seriously. This is maybe the first time in his life he's ever let himself understand the gravity of a situation. But he saves everyone. He protects everyone.

And he couldn't stop Mob. But he could be there. He could scream at him I AM HERE, I CARE, WE CARE, YOU CAN COME BACK FROM THIS until maybe something worked. Maybe it wouldn't. Maybe he was going to die. Because this is a horrible situation.

But he can tell Mob not to underestimate him. That he wasn't being weak. He just didn't want to hurt him. He just cares about him. And he's sorry, he's so fucking sorry for everything he did, and he will NOT do it again, no matter what. And he wants to be better. And he gets it now. They're both just people. They're equals.

By the way all of this started because I saw an screenshot with a joke edited in and remembered how fucking horrifying it was to watch Mob get strangled. Anyway. Goodbye now. I think about these two every second

I think a lot of people forget that Darkstalker was legitimately considering killing Clearsight after he figured out she stole his scroll. He thought to himself that maybe he won't have a queen by his side and then we cut to Clearsight's pov when she is making the bracelet with Fathom and she actually sees futures where Darkstalker kills her if her plan doesn't work. What makes it even worse when Darkstalker is twisting her wrist and asking where his scroll is, when Clearsight is able to slip the bracket on him and he is able to read Clearsight's mind for the first time in a long time she still loves him while he is seriously considering murdering her. Like hello why don't more people talk about this.

I also think people forget how much of a bastard Darkstalker was even in the beginning of the book. Like shortly after he met Fathom and Indigo he thought that Indigo was a threat and that he could kill the insta kill tail band thing he was wearing. The only reason why he didn't do it was because he thought a sad animus dragon with nothing to lose wouldn't exactly be the best thing for him or anyone else. Like I guess you could argue that's because Indigo threatened to kill him first but my gripe is that he's so sadistic when thinking about it he enjoys the idea of killing her way too much while Indigo is just traumatized from the entire Albatross situation and Darkstalker should have known because he can read minds and see the future but I guess not.

Also the fact that he doesn't really like it when Clearsight is with Listener, he never hangs out with them because and only joins with Clear after Listener leaves. Pretty sure this is because he doesn't like Listener for being suspicious of him. He also tries to read Clearsight's mind after she says she doesn't want him to do that by diverting her attention, even though she didn't fall for the disrespect for her boundaries and her feelings are still present even in the beginning.

Like I am not saying it would have been impossible for Darkstalker to actually realize that he is in the wrong and change his ways early on (and I only early on in the book my cut off point was when he enchanted Clearsight because that shit was just disgusting and actually unforgivable), but it would be difficult. And after he enchants Clearsight to not see the bad futures it would just be impossible because he starts seeing dragons as objects and becomes more dismissive of everyone else, also because that's the point where I think his actions become unforgivable.

So yeah Darkstalker is a dick and if for whatever reason I ever met him I am throwing hands, animus magic be damned.

Shigure's relationship with Kyo drives me crazy. he doesn't hate Kyo in the slightest - in fact, he pities Kyo, and not in the condescending "oh you poor little boy, cursed to be a horrible, disgusting monster" sort of way that everyone else does. Shigure pities Kyo for the reason he should be pitied: he's just a kid caught up in a system so inhumane it can't possibly be survived without some seriously unhealthy coping mechanisms.

and it drives me crazy because - listen, Shigure is the only zodiac member who's emotionally aware enough to see the other zodiac members as exactly what they are. he knows Yuki is a severely traumatized kid who projects all of his self-hatred on a single convenient target. he knows Akito is really a scared little girl with a raging god complex (literally) and no concept of a healthy relationship. and he knows Kyo is a regular-ass human being who doesn't deserve to be locked up for the rest of his life just because some arbitrary system says so. he KNOWS it's stupid. he KNOWS it's ridiculous and unfair. and he has to share a house with Kyo knowing that Kyo is living with a sword over his head, hating himself and hating others in perfect tandem because he has no other way of coping with the insane amounts of negativity he's had to deal with his entire life.

but the thing about Shigure is that he KNOWS all of this, and the same time he doesn't really CARE. he feels sorry for Kyo, but an apathetic sort of pity, a disinterested "this is how it is. such a shame." sort of pity. in some ways he's worse than the other zodiacs because he DOES see Kyo as a person, someone he likes being around even, but he still considers Kyo below his attention because all his focus is on Akito and breaking the curse. and sure, once the curse is broken Kyo will theoretically be set free with the rest of them, but that's more of a coincidental side effect than anything. despite being in a much more dangerous and precarious mental space AND comfortably in Shigure's reach, Kyo is about as much a priority for Shigure as Ritsu or Momiji.

and it drives me CRAZY because i think Shigure does start actively caring about Kyo as the series goes on, but it's hard to tell when that happens and to what extent. when Kazuma told Shigure he planned to reveal Kyo's true form and Shigure said he was going too far - whose sake was it for? was Shigure trying to protect Kyo, who would be hideously traumatized/emotionally scarred by such a cruel betrayal? was he trying to protect Kyo and Tohru's relationship, which was still formulating and might, under such severe testing, ultimately end up damaged beyond repair? was he only trying to protect Tohru, who wasn't ready to be burdened by such a horrible aspect of the curse so soon, or perhaps simply didn't deserve it? or was it all for the sake of himself, trying to protect his still-forming plans of using Tohru's positive effect on the Sohmas to break the curse?

Shigure cares about Kyo, but they're not close and Kyo clearly isn't a priority. he treats Kyo like a person - offering him genuine advice, teasing him like he teases anyone else, even speaking up on his behalf once or twice - and yet he's too entrenched in the long game to spare much active interest in Kyo. for a very long time, he doesn't care about Kyo the way he cares about Yuki or Tohru, and it's never made clear when exactly that changed. and the thing that gets me about this whole situation is that right from the start, Shigure is in a position where he can meet Kyo at his level - as equals, just one human being to another - but he doesn't, because Shigure is a chessmaster, Shigure is someone who observes and calculates, Shigure never steps in unless one of his chess pieces makes a wrong move and he absolutely has to.

it drives me crazy. Shigure drives me crazy. this series drives me so so crazy.

[alatismeni-theitsa]

There are many things I will never forgive Rick Riordan for but the number 1 (one) thing I will always hold against him is how he treated WWII in the entire series.

To quote the PJO wiki, "[...] World War II, in the books, is described to be a huge fight between the children of Zeus and Poseidon on one side and the children of Hades on the other.

The events of World War II resulted in the pact of the Big Three, because their children were affecting the course of history too much. It was decided more demigod children would be dangerous for the mortal world."

Just. What the fuck. There are so many things that are wrong with this.

There is nothing that he can do to excuse or salvage this. He could rewrite the whole series, I don't give a fuck. This should not have happened in the first place.

I don't care if he wrote the first book in 2005, he was and still is a grown ass man with a high education from what I've read, he has no excuse. WWII has affected millions across the globe with the descendants of all too many families even having to deal with the generational trauma that came from that time period alone AND dealing with heavy deniers of the many atrocities and war crimes that were committed whilst their grandparents and great-grandparents are having hallucinations of all of their traumatic experiences (can you tell i'm speaking from experience?).

Ironically he holds (Ancient) Greece on such a high pedestal, calling it the birthplace of Western Civilisation (it isn't), and yet you can tell he obviously knows very little about the damn country whose culture he's been appropreating for almost two decades now. Making Hades the father of 3 (three) terrible war criminals in the war that, you know, Greece had been and still is greatly affected by to this day. Which is, you know, his fucking home. That he and all the other characters supposedly care about oh so much (I have so many bottled-up negative emotions about these books and absolutely no safe space to let them out, theitsa, you have no idea).

You may think I'm overreacting or taking this too seriously but I honestly couldn't care less. This is not a topic you can just joke about or treat light-heartedly. Yes, it was mentioned as an atrocity in the books, but it was still mainly treated as just "Hehe silly fight between gods! Secret History ooo!~".

Simply saying that WWII was bad is not enough, Rick, it's actually the bare minimum. You need to show it at the very least some respect by not undermining its consequences to simply "This is why we don't have kids anymore!". But you're obviously not ready to hear that yet. It still baffles me that his fans are just now discovering he is not the saint they thought he was. "How could he be a zionist ??" they all ask in unison, meanwhile the signs were all there since 2005 (at the very least).

Anyway, you don't have to answer this ask if you don't feel like it, I understand it can possibly be overwhelming. You're the first person I've seen that's actually not afraid to point out Rick's bullshit despite initially liking his books, and also the fact that you are a Greek educating people on actual Greek culture, so I felt safe sharing my thoughts with you. Thank you for your time! Καλές γιορτές! 💕

You're overreacting, especially when it comes to the World Wars! In ww2 1 in 10 Greeks died in the famine, and almost everyone I know had someone in their family executed or tortured by the Germans/Bulgarians/Italians triple occupation (not to mention getting hurt or killed in battle). These situations traumatized generations of Greeks, but Rick had the immense privilege of not considering this while writing! He treated the wars like they were play-dough for his little cutsy lore, he made our arch-enemies the children of our gods, and he can go to hell for this.

I am here for all the righteous Greek αλάτι, so if you have more thoughts, bring it on!

[nelyos-right-hand]

Before I start, this is about toxic and abusive behavior in Rings of Power that is portrayed positively. I will not get any hate for this because I should be allowed to point out problematic views in a show and people should talk about this.

The thing that bothers me most about Rings of Power is not the terrible plot. It's not the unnecessary love-story between Galadriel and Sauron. It's not the bad costumes or the extremely uninteresting side stories not even the RoP fans themselves care about. It's not even the canon that is burning and breaking all around us.

The greatest problem (in my opinion) is Galadriel herself. Because she's just... extremely unlikeable. Through the entire show, there was nothing that made me sympathetic towards her, that in any way inspired me to like her. And you just can't ignore that because she's literally everywhere. The entire show is about her which makes it impossible to watch, even if you are ready to lower your expectations and ignore minor flaws.

The way she treats everyone around her is just... I don't even have words for it. It's extremely disrespectful and impolite and imposing and... you just don't treat other people like that. Ever. It's extremely obvious that she thinks herself better than everyone else and she shows that to everyone.

And the worst part is that the show portrays that as the "right behavior". No matter what, Galadriel is always right, she always makes the right decisions, and those that see that and listen to her, and let her treat them like that are the "good" people, and those who contradict her or disagree are the "stupid" people.

The best example for that is her conversation with Elrond which we already saw in the trailer. You know, the one where's she's like "you have not seen what I have seen". I always disliked that scene because I didn't like how the show downplayed Elrond's own traumatic past, but the more I think about it, the worse it gets. Because think of the situation:

At first, Elrond (her only friend, so you would think she would bother to treat at least him well, but nope) tries to comfort her, at which she gets mad and tells him she had it harder then him. And this already... He's trying to help her, he is listening to her problems and she just immediately starts insulting him. But it gets even worse. Because Elrond defends himself, he says that he has suffered as well and that he knows what he is talking about, and she's just "nope, I suffered more that you did".

And that's just so wrong in so many ways. Because who does that? Even if she was right (which I don't think she is), who compares trauma like it's a competition?

She is suffering because she lost her family and her home, and so did he. They both lost people they loved and she just tells him that his losses weren't as painful as hers???? That she suffered more when she lost her brother than he did when he lost his?! Just- just imagine that for a second. Imagine you lost family members and then your friend tells you that it wasn't that bad because they what? Lost more? Lived longer? Again: It's Not A Competition!!! And Elrond even defends himself and tells Galadriel that she can't say that because he suffered just as much, but instead of admitting her mistake and apologizing, she just goes on.

And the worst thing is that the show makes it look like Galadriel is right. Galadriel is the hero and since she never makes mistakes, they try to somehow make this behavior look "cool" and "strong". Remember, kids are watching this show. Amazon wanted this to be for the whole family. And kids are gonna see her as a role model. They are gonna think her cool, as every twelve year old thinks a strong warrior who doesn't make mistakes cool. Is that what you want jung teenagers to define as "cool" behaviour? To treat everyone else like garbage and to never admit your mistakes?

Now, both Galadriel and Elrond aren't real, but in real life you can seriously hurt a person like that. And if the only way you can make a person appear "strong" is by making them hurt and downgrade others, then you shouldn't be filming TV shows in the first place.

And this was just one example. I could show you ten more scenes where Galadriel is just as condescending, this was just the one that bothered me the most.

And I don't want anyone telling me that "the show doesn't actually support that kind of behaviour". Yes it does. If the protagonist and hero of the show constantly treats others that way and is not once called out or criticised for it, it supports it. If it doesn't mean to, it should be more clear about it. I don't care whether they might still criticize her for it in season two (unlikely), they should have done it the moment Galadriel started comparing her own losses to those of her only friend in the trailer before the show even came out.

tw suicide

it’s incredibly embarrassing to survive yet another attempt and proceed to get stared at by doctors in inpatient for like.. two weeks? naloxone is a godsend and was partial to what saved my life, but it shouldn’t exist for me specifically ._. Also wow I’m not super happy to be discharged and find out Trump won the election. forgive me for updating you guys that I’m, in fact, not dead, with a hint of humor, it’s all I have, really. I feel like this is the worst I’ve been in my entire life. And yet I’m still here despite everything. Happy to know that if my family is in a dire situation, the ambulance hub a meter from my home would act quickly.

Anyway, all seriousness, I give you my update. I apologize that because of everything, my mind and consciousness is faltering. My brush with death and time away allowed me to reflect on a lot. I’m still hurt, traumatized and angry. But I suppose it’s worth it to relay some final messages..? Clear the air? Mostly regarding the situation once again because I can never escape it, really.

to start, I didn’t try to commit suicide as a ruse to make people feel bad for me. October was a horrible month for me, and with things being taken out of my own hand and will, I found myself passively attempting suicide just to numb myself. I had continuous nightmares and crippling loneliness, and with being threatened by anonymous users here that they were going to come to my house and r**** and kill me, I was terrified! Even before, I don’t even think I spent a mere moment of this month sober. Originally I did want to say I was just dead and leave it at that so people would no longer stalk me, but found myself in a real, dire situation not too far after.

no. I am not behind the “addressing-Creeperchild” account. That’s not me. After Freddy and I cut ties, I’ve since ceased talking about him other than making a few vents or responses to him. I did assist the account and admin group and technically had access to the account as an “admin” but I quit long before they even released the first document on him. So no, none of it was me. One of the major admins from what I was told kicked everyone out over my hospitalization. I’m uncertain if another account to talk about Freddy will be made, but just know that it’s not me. All of this is why I was close to death to begin with, and have since no interest bringing it back to topic. I sincerely ask everyone to stop sending me messages about Freddy or to stop threatening to kill me and my family, please..? My mother has enough fear in her life.

And finally, to Freddy, I forgive you. And for what it’s worth, I’m sorry too. I know in your mind, it may be entirely black and white to you, and honestly it was for me too. You hurt me a lot, and used a lot of my reactions to you as “evidence” of abuse. It hurt me. And it wasn’t fair to me. I know my uncertainty and lack of confidence in relationships hurt you too, but I hope you can learn to break the cycle that was notably continuous for years, because it hurt to learn you lied about me and made fun of my disability. But, I know on my end, I’ve reacted irrationally, and I understand it can be hard to deal with from time to time. It’s not easy living the life as either of us, as far as I am aware. I know I matter not to you, so I know you won’t generally strive to be better for me, so please. Strive to be better for yourself and your friends you now have. Learn to take criticism, manage your jealousy, understand that you love your friends and partners unconditionally. You cannot love someone and resent them for not being able to return it to your expectations. Everyone shows it differently, you are not being discarded or neglected. My love language is quality time, so spending time with you each and every day was me showing my undying love for you. Sorry it wasn’t enough. I have removed my videos on you, and forgive you on behalf of what you’ve done to me. But I regret to inform you that I cannot forgive you on behalf of what you’ve done to other people. So anything else said about you is not my responsibility , nor was it really to begin with. And I apologize. Though understand we both did an insane amount of damage to both of our reputations due to the wrong people hearing of both sides. I am trying very hard to do better, so please, Freddy. Do better too.

and no matter what, in spite of it all. A place in my heart will always be yours. As a friend, lover, enemy and now stranger.

I sincerely apologize to everyone who was scared, confused or whatever emotion it may be. I really wanted to leave this world and cease the pain and deep pit in my heart, had I not been saved by my family’s quick reaction, I would very much be dead today. Hell, I’m still recovering from it all, both mentally and physically as it hasn’t been too long since my last attempt. I wake up today with physical and mental scars that I inflicted upon myself and my family, and I thank everyone who was patient with my mom and my sister when they were frantic.

will I ever come back and post regularly again?…. Probably not. As someone with a mental illness often stigmatized, it’s hard for me to continue to exist online, hell, it’s even hard for me to exist in real life. Losing my old friend group, getting assaulted with a pregnancy scare, losing my father, losing my fiancé and trying to die but coming back to now trump getting elected? God. It’s a lot. It’s really a lot and I’m just very tired. I’m gonna rest. And when I’m better, I want to focus my energy towards fighting for my country and regaining my rights as a queer biracial woman.

thank you, and good night.

YEAH

So. Early on in the story. Murderbot and Thiago get dragged along to... SECUNIT FIGHT NIGHT

(it feels a little cliche but also. who doesn't love SecUnit Fight Night)(Murderbot doesn't)(Thiago doesn't either and he makes a big deal about it and Murderbot has to haul him bodily away if he keeps going on about SecUnit Rights to the CobriReyna humans. It does not feel good about this but it feels even worse about causing a Confrontation and having to seriously talk about SecUnit Rights with a bunch of humans while pretending to be an augmented human security consultant. It sucks for everyone involved. Anyway)

The sport of choice used to be boxing between actual humans, but a while ago the mine administration banned boxing on company property which is in practice the entire moon. They're encouraging more wholesome sports instead with mixed results. However, what they actually replaced boxing nights with was SecUnit Fight Night. It's free entertainment, and in a situation where CobriReyna owns the feed satellites and the feed is throttled and downloads are expensive, no one's passing up free entertainment.

Tahmineh and Yeongsuk do not like SecUnit Fight Night. Tahmineh thinks it's insulting and tacky, a show of power by the mine administration of just how much power and violence they have control over--and could direct at the miners, if it came to that. She hates that people like SecUnit Fight Night. You shouldn't be cheering for this show of power by the company! (She's also skeptical of the reasoning for banning boxing. She was a pretty good boxer in the boxing rotation, she appreciated it as an Outlet and a competition--she likes winning--but she can hardly deny that people were getting bloody and hurt. Officially it was banned to prevent the increasing number of injuries workers were sustaining in the boxing matches, but Tahmineh thinks the admin was afraid of worker powerand wanted to reiterate that the mine admin has sole legitimate right to weild violence. Yeongsuk, who never loved the boxing either and was kinda worried for Tahmineh in the ring, thinks that Tahmineh is ascribing to the admin more fear of the workers than they actually have. They're both a little right.)

Yeongsuk dislikes SecUnit Fight Night because she finds it gross that violence is entertainment. She never really liked boxing much either but at least that was treated like a sport, where opponents played fair and treated each other in a sportsmanlike way. But SecUnit Fight Night doesn't need that, and it's just violence for the sake of seeing new and creative forms of violence. Also giving people something to bet money on, which it's not like any of them are rolling in. It's about control. Control through money and violence, and even if Yeongsuk is not yet at "SecUnits are people," her view is kind of that SecUnits are at least somewhat animals, and it's akin to dogfighting, and it's gross.

Clelia mostly thinks it's about betting tbh. Mine admin controlling the flow of money between workers and the bookies--CobriReyna overseen, of course--taking a cut. She's also just on a practical level worried what their worker co-op of their union dreams is gonna do with a bunch of violent trigger-happy traumatized bots used so often for fighting. Like those must make for shit security.

Berto has kinda been shamed by Tahmineh into thinking it's tacky, and it's not that he doesn't, but like. You can't just condemn 'em all for liking to watch it, Tahmi, don't you find it a little cathartic to watch the mine admin's weapons of oppression go after each other for a bit rather than bothering any of us?

Something they all agree is tacky and unnecessary is what the admin has hit on as a fun new opening event, where they send Limpy out to get torn apart.

Honestly a large chunk of the audience is like. Rooting for Limpy to finally win one one of these days, but at the same time, there's a large contingent that finds it funny when it eventually gives out. It rarely wins, and only if its opponent is given a novel handicap that means it can win in a way that doesn't require running or high maneuverability. But Berto's not wrong that it's cathartic to a lot of miners--many of whom have machinery injuries they didn't have the money to get healed right--see it taken out on a SecUnit who also wasn't healed right. (Its knee joint was crushed in a catastrophic mineshaft collapse and the part is proprietary enough that the cubicle's attempt to reconstruct it didn't work right, meaning its knee joint doesn't connect right and it walks with a distinctive lurching gait. If it tries to do too much too fast it sometimes does just collapse.)(Yes it hurts all the time. This is not really considered by anybody.)(The mine admin doesn't super care because they will be returning that one next contract cycle with a warranty complaint anyway.)

SecUnit Fight Night is horrible whump fun but something under-explored in fic imo is why humans like to watch it, and while you do get the SecUnit side of it - I think you probably know who Limpy is :''') - I was also interested in what the humans thought of it and why. Why it's a popular enough thing to be implemented.

Also yeah this means that sometimes SecUnit A gets sent to do the Limpy Beatdown against Sky and this is fun for nobody, except for me. (SecUnit hurt/comfort after the fight - trying to express "I didn't mean to hurt you, I wouldn't if I had the choice" "I know" without really being able to say it - is such angsty catnip to me. But also the way it turns SecUnits on each other, I will hurt you because the other option is to get hurt myself and if it's gonna be you or me I'm gonna make it you so it's not me. Something they will also have to like... figure out if they're going to make a union work.)

How do you think Sasuke would've been like if he didn't go through what he did? Do you think his personality would still be similar to how it is now, or way different? I think some things will definitely remain the same, like his personality being the opposite contrast to Naruto's, and being an introvert. But I'd love to hear your thoughts! Thinking about how Naruto would be like is also pretty interesting, but not as much as Sasuke since he's way more traumatized and changed dramatically since he was a kid. There were some fillers that showed that he chased cats and took those cat missions really seriously, which is really cute and makes him seem kinda goofy like Naruto, but they're still fillers so idk how accurate that is. Still, he was very friendly and sweet as a child even in canon. He's such an interesting and complex character!

Hi~ 

That’s hard to predict because living life without going through what he has in the story is… quite the contrast. He'd still be goal-driven. I wonder if Fugaku would acknowledge Sasuke similarly without Itachi becoming distant. Would Itachi spend more time with Sasuke and allow them to train together had he not been burdened the way he was? There are so many variables to take into account. 

And let’s be honest… wouldn’t we want to know how Kishimoto would answer that? Considering people’s belief about the Uchiha’s “evil” destiny-tainted with hatred and all that- being genetic? Oh, there’s so much to say about that alone. Try making that point without Konoha’s elite members ordering his entire family to be murdered by the person he loves and trusts most for the sake of everyone else’s safety. Good luck with that. 

One thing Kishimoto has said about writing Sasuke always stuck with me though, which was: 

He’s basically saying that, in order to write Sasuke, he needs to make sure his character image won’t be messed up by putting him in situations where he wouldn’t be in the first place. 

There’s a lot of debate among writers when it comes to character/plot driven stories, but Sasuke’s journey is very much character-driven in the sense that plot is/should be changed in order to allow Sasuke to drink the tea that he likes. It doesn’t make sense otherwise. Often, fillers, novels and other material that are technically official, but not made by Kishimoto, completely miss the mark and force him to drink the juice when he wouldn’t ever do that in the first place.

And so, screw up his character entirely. (Not Sasuke alone though.)

If Sasuke didn’t go through these horrible things, a lot will be different, but I’m pretty sure his personality would stay similar when it comes to drinking the tea he likes. He’d still avoid the juice despite different circumstances. He wouldn't ever drink it. And how that would be like precisely… well, your guess is as good as mine, really.

Sasuke can be goofy and playful though. Way more than people seem to think? He’s just selective when it comes to who he feels comfortable enough to show it to. As he should. Again, filler (etc-) also often don't take that into account. A lot of it is either completely exaggerated or they make him into this cold-hearted character without any sub- and/or context that does it justice.

I don’t think Naruto and Sasuke’s trauma’s can, and/or should be, ever measured against each other though. The story made it a point that it’s hard to understand one or the other for good reason. I also don’t think Naruto has changed much as a character? Although he gained better understanding about a lot of things and therefore took different approaches, he’s also repressing a lot of what he’s feeling in order to people please in a way that gains him the acceptance he craved for. Underneath all of that, there’s still that part of him that he’s denying in order to belong in the environment that denied him.

And yeah, how do we feel about that? ;-;

DEAD FRIEND FOREVER (another long rant lol)

let me take a breath before I start

I had seen a post that said the worst trope in shows is when they take a deeply traumatized character and kill them off for shock value even when they were fighting so hard to get their happy ending they could almost taste it.

It made me think of Non because he has been through absolute hell with almost no one to save him. You can bring up Tee trying to help but like Non said Tee should be doing that for getting him into this situation. Tee doesn’t deserves applause in my opinion for trying to help because even if he didn’t get Non stuck in that business he still bullied him outside of that.

Leading up to my point here being that if they kill off Non in the very last episode I will feel the flames of hell licking at my ankles from so much rage.

I’ve seen absolutely no progress with killing any of Non’s bullies and it pisses me off. I know it didn’t happen right away because they need to build up the story first. But we’re down to episode 11 and no one has been killed off except Por.

Now the one thing that has been enraging me the most in this show is Phee and Jin. I’ve come to hate their characters more than everyone else.

The rest of the group are fucked up to Non but they don’t try to hide what shitty people they are. The disgust, anger, and just hateful behavior for Non whether he is in the room or not has never wavered. However Jin and Phee act like they are so innocent when it comes to being complicit in Non’s suffering.

Jin may have been nice to Non for the short time he knew him but did absolutely nothing to shield him from being harassed. I do wonder if Jin would be as nice as he was if he didn’t have a crush on Non, which brings me to my next point.

Jin so easily turned his back on Non when he saw him and teacher Keng together. Getting so angry that Non didn’t like him back so he posts a clip all over school of Non getting fucked by his teacher. It was such a low ball move and he needs to have his ass beat for it.

Phee obviously never bullied Non so why do I hate him so much? It’s the way he has handled everything starting from finding out about Non & Keng all the way up to current events in the show. I can maybe understand the initial reaction to Non sleeping with Keng (minus telling Non to disappear and die) but at some point how did you not put that pieces together that your boyfriend was groomed by his teacher?

Next point is Phee being absolutely no help at all when it came to getting revenge for Non. I already knew Tan/New was the only one I would be relying on to help Non. Phee really couldn’t keep it in his pants long enough until he eventually slept with Jin. We all knew that was going to happen but it just blows my mind he so easily slept with a guy who ruined Non’s life. I don’t care if he said it was to “get information out of Jin” because it’s was such a bs excuse.

Next on the list is Phee exposing the entire plan to Jin because unfortunately he likes that bastard but moving on. Jin then confesses that he was the one to leak the video clip of Non all over school and Phee istg barely looks angry. The most was him getting up and banging his fist on the wall but other than that I’m pretty sure his anger lasted a good 5 seconds.

This is why I can’t take Phee seriously when he claims to love Non because why aren’t you more enraged finding out Jin was the one who ruined your boyfriend’s life? You should be getting in Jin’s face demanding he get on his knees and apologize but instead you did nothing. In the words of Haymitch Abernathy “You could live 100 lifetimes and never deserve that boy.” because Phee truly does not deserve to love Non at all and I’m glad they broke up.

Jin and Phee make it back to the house being very quick to snitch on Tan to everyone about the plan. The thing that irritates me most about that scene is Jin acting so high and mighty like he’s not in the wrong for what he did and making Tan look like the bad guy here for wanting to get revenge for Non. I wanted to smack him in the face so bad there. Phee and Jin truly deserve each other because they are both insecure useless snitches who have never protected Non the way they should have.

Okay final notes here (I say 50 paragraphs later lol) is when Tan is telling Phee to shoot everyone and he’s hesitating. He then says he just wants to know the truth about what happened to Non. That’s it? Are you gonna interview them one by one and just let them go on their merry way after? Seriously why are you even here Phee if you’re going to be useless dead weight on this mission.

Circling back to my main concern for this show is are they going to have Non go thru all that trauma and just not do anything or worse case scenario being they kill him off. That’s really all I care about at this point because if they make the rest about Jin and Phee I’ll be so annoyed.

I also wonder if they’re gonna reveal White to be hiding something or if he’ll be innocent till the very end because he truly is the only character who has no inclusion or cause to Non’s suffering. So that’ll be interesting to see in the final episode.

Perekoo Angst

!!TW for heavy topics and homophobia!!

So since I'm scared as shit for our/my rights in my country and while my mental health is down anyways, I came up with this scenario/prompt.

We know that the people who live in Devil's Acre are probably from the 20th century or older which means anything other than their heteronormativity society is seen as a threat.

Now we have Isabel and Alma in all of this who have the problem of being Ymbrynes which means they kinda have to stay "neutral" or otherwise lots of people won't take them seriously anymore and/or will question their leadership.

And ofc they are also scared of the judgment and unacceptance that would definitely come with making their relationship public.

But with that also comes hiding your identity and sexuality and being scared that people might "catch you" one day.

In the scenario there's this entire protest thing against lgbtq people but there are also people who are protesting for lgbtq rights. There would probably be more people who are against it though, because of the mind of the society and because most lgbtq people were just scared and hiding.

So there is this rather small group of supporters and this big mass of protesters against it in front of the ministries building.

And inside in a small office on the upper floor is Isabel, crouched down with her back against the wall while she can quietly but clearly hear the protesters in the background. She may be pretty confident about her sexuality or the way she expresses herself by now, but these things still scare the hell out of her… they could kill her after all or worse, the people she cares about.

It's when Alma knocks on the door and comes in to find the other Ymbryne in this state. She locks the door and sits to calm Isabel down, suggesting that they could go home and get out of this overwhelming situation. But Isabel denies it, saying that she doesn't want to bring these thoughts home, not wanting to connect any negative thoughts with the peace and safety that the loop brought her. Therefore they stay in the room just being in each other's presence and trying to calm one another.

Eventually they fall asleep until they get woken up by some angry knocking. In panic about being seen together Alma hides in one of Isabel's huge wall cupboards (shush, gay cliche i know), because the risk of being seen while flying out of the window is too high.

From this point it could go two ways tbh.

Protesters come in and are just angry in general. They had  decided to storm the ministries building and smear offensive things on the walls of the old building. Either they are angry because they know about Isabel due to her being so open about everything or they are just mad in general and in this rage they blame random stuff on Isabel, why she was still here, why her door was locked, if she was hiding something, etc.

Again two possible ways to go, either the protesters just riot and throw some stuff around and by that also knock down some wall cupboards (where Isabel has to pretend like she doesn't care that much) or they just talk shit about Isabel and then leave.

Either way it leaves the two Ymbrynes scared and traumatized as fck.

After the protesters have left again, Isabel straight up locks the door again and rushes to Alma who's clearly as terrified as Isabel is.

The last picture is just the two Ymbrynes huddled together again, both being absolutely terrified while you can still hear the people running through the building in the distance.

Isabel apologizes over and over again, that she said no to just going home and leaving this all behind, and Alma tries to calm her as best as she can, while trying not to hyperventilate herself.

How they actually get out of this, if they just wait until everyone is gone or Alma creates a small pocket loop away (idk how fast she can actually make them tbh), is really up to you guys, whoops.

-----

I had this really detailed in my head but I can't really get myself to write anything more….story like? I'm currently more in the state of staring at my phone but not being able to get one sentence written down and even this post here took me DAYS to write, which is ridiculous.

Yeah so in case anyone wants to actually write or draw something based on this, feel free to use it :)

In case I traumatized tf out of you now, then I am terribly sorry for that! It's just that this has been stuck in my head for Days and because I am just shit scared that we are going back to this fcked up mindset.

a (very simplified) explanation of how frank and monica influence all of the gallagher kids’ actions

(because it’s what they do, they’re gallagher’s)

fiona: destroys herself/her life whenever things get too good because she thinks she doesn’t deserve nice things due to the fact that her parents left her in such a shitty situation and barely gave her any credit, making her believe that it’s what she deserved, and taking care of her entire family and living a shitty life was all that she was good for.

lip: drinks away his pain and takes out his anger on the wrong things because that’s all he’s ever seen and he has no idea how he’s supposed to express his emotions healthily + purposefully fucks up and tries to take responsibility off of himself/takes responsibility for other people when he doesn’t need to because his parents and everyone around him just dumped responsibility on him because of his smarts.

ian: get’s himself into bad situations and unhealthy relationships with older men because of what he saw growing up/because monica told him to + struggles to commit to a relationship because of his fears of being like his mother, who traumatized him.

debbie: is so afraid of abandonment that she goes to insane extremes to make people stay with her/to control the world around her because she was never able to control her parents + desperately wanted a child so that the child would never leave her and so that she could end the cycle and relive her childhood by giving her child the childhood she was supposed to have.

carl: suppresses/hides his emotions because growing up his parents didn’t give a shit about his emotions/he wasn’t taken seriously + feels the need to give up because everyone around him accepted defeat and gave into alcohol and drugs.

liam: feels lost, hopeless, and scared because he has no parental figures. (he honestly is the most well adjusted so i don’t have much to say).

so yeah, that’s as simple as it can get. so next time you think “why would ___ do that?” you can think of this because it really isn’t that difficult to understand

[greyskyflowers]

Power dynamic/BDSM relationships between crew members appeals to me incredibly.

Let me attempt to walk through this.

I think this is going to end up being more informative than anything else but it helps build the groundwork for a later post if people want it.

⛓️

It's so important to be aware of the other person/people in power dynamic relationships and/or when engaging in play.

I live in a big city and I've been active in the kink community here. Classes, munches, events, etc. I've seen demonstrations and play of all kinds. Seriously, some wild stuff. I've also both been in a power dynamic relationship and have had good friends in them.

And friends, it's not the same as fanfic. I'm not going to preach because to be honest, it's not my problem. If you hurt yourself or someone else because you thought a under negotiated scene/relationship would be a good idea, that's on you. Educate yourself.

⛓️

I remember my first big event, they all the newbies attend this little class at the start. They went over what to expect, where things were, who to look for if we needed help, general safety and all that good stuff.

First reminder was about limits and how important it was to be very specific. Which seemed a little like a duh moment but one of the leaders had a story with it.

Someone, who had been at one of the previous parties, had planned a scene out with their play partner and told them that the limits were basically nothing permanent.

Okay, so far we're all nodding along to the story and the leader kind of laughs.

So the dom didn't do anything permanent, but he did cut her hair off.

When I tell you everyone in that rooms jaw dropped, I am not exaggerating. That didn't even cross my mind as something I would have to tell someone not to do. But think of it this way. There's people who would absolutely be okay with their hair being chopped off in a scene and there's people who would absolutely not be okay with that happening.

The sub told the dom no permanent marks. Hair is not permanent. It's gonna grow back. The dom didn't do anything wrong, it was just very poor negotiating prior to the scene. And they both felt terrible for putting the other in a shitty situation. They were just on entirely different wave lengths.

So that was our reminder on making sure we're as clear as possible, to the point of over checking, before engaging in a scene.

⛓️

The next reminder was going over medical and psychological concerns or problems to be aware of.

That also seemed over the top but we all knew to listen at this point, so we sat there quietly and all desperately tried to figure out why this was something that would need to be shared, besides the obvious of course.

Friends, there's a lot of fucking reasons.

People may be allergic to cleaner on the props and scene gear, or even the bindings used.

Someone may have broken their ankle years ago and it hasn't bothered them since, but if they're rigged up in a way that will require them to use that ankle to catch themselves if something happens, suddenly it's worth knowing.

Do they have anything with their blood that may put them at risk of excessive bleeding or bruising?

Have they had anything potentially traumatizing happen that may be unexpectedly trigger?

Here the leader stopped again to tell us another story.

A scene between two people who were familiar with each other and had played before, but they didn't negotiate each time. Okay, once again we're all thinking surely not that much changes from scene to scene, especially when it's with the same person. But, once again, the unexpected happens.

The sub likes to be humiliation and degregated. Usually no problems, everything goes great. Well, it turns out that during the scene the dom said something about not being a good owner to her dog, idk why that specifically was mentioned but whatever, but he didn't know that her dog had ran away recently and that just set her off.

What a weird fucking coincidence.

So it's stuff you don't even think about, because everyone assumes everything will go okay. Sometimes it doesn't and it's nobody's fault but it fucking sucks. Everyone involves needs to be prepared.

⛓️

Last reminder was aftercare. Mandatory.

If you did a scene with someone then they themselves or someone else needed to go with you to the aftercare area, a low lighting room just filled with comfy chairs, piles of pillows and blankets. There were also water, juices, and snacks right around the corner from this area to make sure everyone kept from dropping or having any other issues.

⛓️

I swear there's a point to this.

All of that being considered, crews are fucking perfect for power dynamic relationships.

Every person on that ship has a very good idea of past injuries, allergies or other health issues, and a good idea of potential triggers. They're close enough to know all that, have a strong mutual trust, and want to provide a positive experience and amazing aftercare.

If you want to write a fic where a power dynamic relationship just happens and no one has to talk about it, or where everyone fall into it perfectly, this is it. This would be believable.

⛓️

It makes me want to ugly cry. I need more bdsm strawhat crew fics.

There's. So. Much. Potential.

[tuiyla]

I'm with you on Kennedy. I appreciated that she was such a 180 from Tara, and I think there's also an implication in their relationship that not everyone has to be THE ONE. It's okay for Willow to just want to be with a pretty girl for awhile. I mean, she's basically Willow's Scott Hope.

Haha except the orientation is compatible here.

I'm only up to ep14 so I maintain the right to change my mind but ep13 didn't give me any reason whatsoever to dislike her. Based on what little I have seen from the fandom she's really widely disliked and that doesn't sit right with me if all she does to earn that is be with Willow while... not being Tara. Like be for real. Would people rather have had Willow mourn and mourn for the entirety of season 7 and never heal? She's very clearly never forgetting Tara. Girl will forever love her and be traumatized by all that went down.

And it also isn't like Kennedy flirted with her once and Willow was immediately like "okay then!" An entire episode, Willow's only A-plot esque episode so far in the season besides ep3, was devoted to her guilt. Amy's hex only worked because Willow does feel like it's wrong to "forget" Tara. But she's not forgetting, she's healing. I understand that Tara's death was a big shock and a big blow to wlws everywhere, I really really do. But it happened and Kennedy the ch can't be faulted for that. I thought she handled the situation honestly as well as could be expected of anyone and she was respectful of Willow's situation and Tara's memory.

And I agree, there is that implication! From the very beginning. Willow never thought she would heal from Oz and she bagged the love of her life shortly after. But what now? Is she not supposed to ever just be carefree for a moment now? I don't view Willow and Kennedy as anything overly seriously and definitely not as something insulting. They're cute, they're flirty, they're both allowed some levity in such heavy times. And yeah she's different from Tara but my god, it would have been so much worse if the writers chucked a Tara 2.0 at Willow. Now that would have been insulting towards the fandom.

Bowser Appreciation Post!!

Right, so, I need to talk about why this big dumb turtle dragon is my #1 absolute favorite character of all time. This gets pretty personal - I feel like any discussion about why a character is your favorite ever needs to be personal - but I felt the need to get it out there. If it brings fellow Bowser superfans my way, even better! I require all the friendships!

I’ve always had a love for villain characters, even as a very small child. I’m 35 now, I was born in 1987, so I’m old and have a lot of nostalgia for older stuff. As a child, I loved Lord Zedd from Power Rangers, Jafar from Aladdin, Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget, Frieza and Cell from Dragon Ball Z... my entire life, if it had a villain, you can bet that villain was probably my favorite character.

My mom was pretty young when she had me. She was a gamer, and had an NES when I was a baby. Some of my earliest memories involve playing old NES games with my mom. So, naturally, as I played the early Mario games, Bowser was my favorite. Yet, as a child, I was terrified of boss battles, which is ironic because now they are usually my favorite part of any video game.

Yet, because it was Bowser, I had to fight him myself. Somewhere in some old family photo album, there exists pictures of me at different (young) ages, smiling in front of a TV screen depicting the final Bowser boss battles in Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and Super Mario 64. It became something of a childhood tradition; I got to the final Bowser boss fight, I had a picture taken to memorialize the occasion.

Back then, there wasn’t much characterization in video games - the characters were little sprites without much life or personality to them. Bowser would pop up, you would fight him, you would win, the end. He was this big, scary, final boss threat... and that’s all he really was. Still, he looked cool, he was a villain, and that was enough for me to love him!

He wasn’t my favorite character, by any means. No, for most of my life, that honor went to Jafar from Aladdin. I watched that movie - the animated 1992 one - so many times as a kid that I can literally recite the entire film from memory. And don’t get me wrong, Jafar is still very high on my list of favorite characters of all time. But what made me boost Bowser up to that number one spot?

Well... As I grew up, so too did Bowser. Each game he appeared in was just another chapter in his long, storied history. We got to see him as a baby in the Yoshi games, we saw him in so many different types of battles and situations, he freakin’ goes Go-Karting and plays Tennis with his enemies, the RPG games gave him a more humorous, silly side to his personality that eventually even started carrying over to the main games. He’s the scary final boss, sure, but... he’s also kind of dumb and lovable?

A few years back, I got a job working with kids. I fell into the job almost by accident, but was immediately taken aback at how much I loved the job. In all my previous customer service jobs, I only ever saw the worst of humanity. Customers complaining and cheating to get any price reduction or refund they possibly could. Managers that didn’t give a shit about their staff, milking them dry and draining every ounce of their souls. Coworkers who constantly backstabbed and shit-talked each other. Greed and money were the bottom line for everyone, no matter who got harmed or inconvenienced along the way. Working with kids showed me the best of humanity - compassion, family, togetherness, empathy, unconditional love, celebrating other peoples’ victories and strengths. Even on my bad days, there is some little moment with the kids to cherish and hold onto.

I take my role as a mentor to these kids very seriously. A lot of what I do at work is talk to them, make them comfortable, get them to open up, talk them through their problems and help them become better people, advocate for them, etc. I care about the kids, and take great pride in what I do. I had a pretty rough, traumatic childhood (fights with Bowser not included in the traumatic parts), and there’s no better way to battle your own inner demons than by helping children beat theirs.

One day, I was playing Mario Kart with the kiddos at work (best job ever). I picked Bowser, as I often do. He is the villain, after all. The kids noticed that I liked Bowser, and they all began debating among themselves which child was which Koopaling to my Bowser. They argued over which of them was my favorite, because the favorite clearly NEEDS to be Bowser Jr. The one with the craziest hair HAD to be Ludwig. The funniest one HAD to be Lemmy. etc etc

It was then that it kind of hit me.... Bowser’s a family man. I mean, I always knew that, of course. Even as early as Super Mario Bros. 3 in 1990, he had the Koopalings as his mini-bosses. He had that adorable Parental Controls video for the Switch, showing how much he cared for Bowser Jr. Even his Yoshi appearances as a baby had Kamek as his caretaker and father figure, a role that continues on even into Bowser’s adult “life”. He has people that care about him and love him, despite how big and scary and one-dimensional he initially seems.

But it was right then, playing Mario Kart with a bunch of kids that I care about and have mentor relationships with, kids that were arguing which Koopaling they were, that I began to identify with Bowser. This scary, intimidating final boss figure has been in my life for longer than I can even remember, I have the childhood pictures to prove it, and he is a dad. Not only that, but a good one.

I’m not even mad about Bowser Jr. being retconned to “his ONLY son”, because to me it means that the Koopalings flocked to him for some other reason, or he took them in and/or adopted them. Regardless of the nature of their relationship, he has several child lieutenants that, for whatever reason, follow and adore him. Like me, Bowser has children in his life that he cares about, and that are not biologically his own.

Once this flood of realization hit me... that was all it took for me to LOVE the Koopa King.

The love was always there, I think. How could it not be?? When he wants to be intimidating, he is freaking terrifying - look no further than Bowser’s Fury. When he takes a break from being the main villain of a game, he’s a lovable, goofy tsundere with too high an opinion of himself. His lava castle aesthetic is so dramatic and extra. His battle music is always amazing.

I just never quite realized the impact he had on my life, or how much he mattered to me, until a bunch of kids started arguing over which Koopaling they were.

Imagine the surprise and humor on my mom’s face when I, a 35-year-old man, told her that the only thing I want for Christmas is a giant Lego set of Bowser.

[space-diablo]

Right back at you with the TS main 5 + Senya, and I'm adding Shika ;)

OKAY.

one aspect about them i love Yuri - She is a great friend. Everyone needs such a friend as Yuri. Nise - That's very personal. But she actually shows typical borderliner behavior and that hits me right in the heart❤ Kuon - She's the Goddess. Her duality actually. So lovely cute and tender girl who is very likely the most coldhearted and cruel person among all the participants❤ Sniper - His entire personality❤ I can elaborate but it's not the time, so in a short... He is so cool and reliable... and at the same time pathetic mess and a Loser. Yes with capital "L". In other words I love that same thing ppl usually hate him for. Rika - That thing... how he hates Sniper and at the same time looks at him like at some kind of an Idol and even forget sometimes that his brother also a living human. Yes, seriously, I do love it. Senya - Little cutie doesn't understand how traumatized he is. Shika - The fact that Shintarou was right. She resembles Kuon. In some ways x)))

one aspect i wish more people understood about them Yuri - She is the most attentive person among all the characters. Nise - She is 16yo old already traumatized by REAL WORLD girl who used to adapt to any situations to survive. Kuon - When she used the railgun for the first time... She didn't forget to think about other ppl who could be in that building. She DID NOT CARE about them in a first place. Like you know she doesn't give a fuck and have no idea why should she. *the list continues* Sniper - I just want to ask ppl to stop throw away that parts of his personality that don't fit their vision of him. Like most of the simps see him just as a kind of sexy-shmexy doll and haters only point at his mistakes. Non of them thinks about his character, non of them sees his traumas and suffering because of his own mistakes, non of them ever tried to understand his actions. The fandom's most popular character? Yes. But also the most misinterpreted one. He deserves better. Rika - He deserves more attention. That is all I can say 'cause... You know, I've never seen any bad word about him. Nor the good one actually. Ppl literally forget about him, some even skip his parts while rereading (yep, I know a few). Senya - That's normal!!!!! I don't want to elaborate. Just this phrase. Shika - That would be nice.. if ppl start talk about her first, so I could tell them that they are wrong 😏😏😏

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have about this character Yuri - can't cook well, but sews really good. Nise - She gives names to stuffed toys... as well as her knives. Kuon - She doesn't want to return home. I can elaborate about that, but not now - to much to say. Sniper - I can't choose so. Vegetarian (but not vegan), gloves are not just part of the image, also he spends all of his free money to support animal shelters. And will be afraid of the grenades for the rest of his life. Rika - He keeps a secret diary. Don't ask. Senya - everyone already knows my fav headcanon that he will choose astrophysics in the future instead of becoming an astronaut. Shika - I'm shamed but I don't have any headcanons for her. Maybe if I would reread TSA more often something could born... But we know the problem with TSA rereadings for me =')))

one character i love seeing them interact with Yuri - surprisingly - with Rika. Nise - with Sniper. Yeah, best BroTP I've ever seen (after Shin and Noi from Dororhedoro), Dumb & Dumber. Kuon - what do you expect here? Sniper. I'm damn shipper XDDD But well besides him - Yuri. Sniper - besides Kuon... I can't choose between Nise and Rika. Rika - with Sniper... As you can see I'm not immune to any siblings interactions. Senya - with Sniper that's obvious. Shika - haaaard one. Don't know really. Need to reread.

one character i wish they would interact with/interact with more Yuri - with Sniper about non-surviving themes. Nise - with Kuon... as helping her to catch a man. Kuon - with alien-kun is you understand me they have what to talk about 😏😏😏 Sniper - it will never happen but I'd really like to see him dealing with The Third Stage. Obviously they would hate each other and this would be really FUNNY. Rika - I need more siblings interactions! Guess yourself about which sibling of him I'm talking about XDDDD Senya - with anyone else from TS main crew besides Sniper. Shika - also anyone from TS main crew.

one (or more) headcanon(s) i have that involve them and one other character I will combine some characters here. Sorry not sorry. Main5 - Yuri and Sniper is a deadly combination of idiots and the worst Rika's fear is that these two could get along. But they never really will... for various reasons. So Yuri can't get why Rika becomes so anxious about her and Sniper interactions. Nise sees Rika as a rival 'cause he takes a lot of attention (too much attention in Nise's eyes!!!) of her favorite person a.k.a Yuri. Every time Sniper needs to use bathroom or take a shower he's struggling with asking Kuon to go "for a little walk". Also Kuon can manage his dreams a bit. Senya - also I mentioned that.. long ago. He would overgrow his attraction to Oribe, like yes first love, but there's a lot of more interesting things in the world. Shika - As I said nothing here =(
