Ford was the smart one, the one with a bright future. He was the one who would be successful and famous, who would uplift their family. Stan was the failure. His only merit was his strength, his only duty was to protect his brother.

This is how they were raised. This was drilled into them by seemingly every adult in their lives. Stan would never accomplish anything worthwhile, except maybe by helping his brother. Ford would never make his dreams a reality if he let his brother hold him back.

Is it any wonder then, that Ford didn’t thank Stan? When he lived his whole life being told he was better, he was a genius, he could change the world? When he had experienced, firsthand, the consequences of his brother’s mistakes? When the man who opened the portal (endangering everything) was the same man who had caused him to fall in?

No, he did not thank his brother.

Why would he?

heyy so you know pierres lore today. the new report. from the fed scout. talking about aypierre and ayrobot and ayrobots stasis and the feds wanting to run analysis machines on ayrobot while hes in said stasis and aypierres away.

yeah. i was sitting here wondering what those analysis machines could imply/cause and how much the feds could have tampered with ayrobot, and i came to the realization. in the pre-established lore, the stasis was made of ice, and ayrobot had been put there bc aypierre would be away from the LPs island for a while. and then the ice melted, and we're told its because aypierre had been away too long. and ayrobot thought he had been abandoned - which caused some of the rage and anger he feels towards aypierre.

what im saying is, what if the ice didnt melt bc it had been too long. what if it melted very prematurely. from the feds tampering. because thats what i think is being implied here. which is crazy.

the feds possibly started the domino effect there.

Gojo saw Sukuna picking his nephew up once and made it his life mission to climb that man like a tree

the thing about hoffstrahm is i don’t think they grow old together and die of old age. i think they spend like five to ten years on the run and its the most alive strahm has ever felt and the most content hoffman has ever been. and after all those years they get sloppy. they fuck up, somehow, and they get found out. and maybe it was strahm who fucked up and maybe he kind of did it on purpose, but he doesn’t want to think about why. either way, they both know they’re about to get caught. hoffman is panicking and strahm is so torn between feeling guilty and relieved. tensions high, they get into an argument over something so insignificant but they still fight like wild animals. and that’s how it ends; they tear each other to shreds, clawing and biting at each other’s skin, trying to break anything capable of being broken. and when they’re found they’re lying on the floor embracing one another .

I love the general consensus the KNB fandom came to that if Akashi happened to find a stray cat, he'd probably sneak it into his dorm and take care of it. Like yes give me more headcanons of Akashi being smitten with stray cats and nursing them back to health if need be.

Do you think they kissed 👀😳

hi! I recently came across your tgcf fics, and I wanted to say you’re a phenomenal creator. the recovery series fic and the gloves fic and just all of them. thank you for your content and great attention to detail.

do you have any thoughts/hcs on FXMQ and Xie Lian you’d be willing to share? within the original story or the universes of your fics!

Thank you so much, I'm glad you're enjoying them! (ﾉ*^▽^*)ﾉ.｡:*☆

hmm, random thoughts about the FXMQ... a silly headcanon: Feng Xin has very much been hoisted by his own petard by heckling Mu Qing! That is to say, he'll harass Mu Qing relentlessly about something stupid only to be confronted with a similar situation and realise that there's absolutely NO way he can act in anyway similar to Mu Qing or he'll never hear the end of it.

(For example, he has tolerated some truly atrocious divine statues in the past because he's heckled Mu Qing so much about how picky he is with his divine statues that there's no WAY he can say ANYTHING without seeing that smug bastard's face in his head so he just has to bite his tongue and tolerate some unspeakably ugly statues.)

Mu Qing doesn't generally suffer from similar overthinking (he'll just prepare to kick FX's ass if he dares to say anything about it) except for things more directly related to himself. I think he genuinely finds sewing/embroidery/etc rather relaxing work but he'd rather die than have anyone ever see him do it because he's made such a big deal about not doing that sort of "servant" work anymore.

(He actually really enjoyed stitching Ruoye back together because it gave him the perfect excuse -- he's returning a favour!! and Xie Lian is hopeless!! of course he had to!! -- and he secretly considered using white thread to embroider some invisible little designs just because he doesn't quite want to stop... only he knew he'd get caught if he messed with Xie Lian's spiritual device like that and gave up the idea)

Finished Pentiment. So curious what impact other choices would have had. Loved all the details and all the little easter eggs and bits that get better when you have just the right knowledge.

I will be so game hungover now. The high was so high, that all other options will look bland for a while. And I need time to emotionally recover.

The critical writer part of my brain has a number of issues with the PJO show, especially concerning tone and characterization, and how it is over-reliant on the audience being familiar with the books instead of trying to set up a story that works independently of its source material.

Sadly, I am constantly overrun by the monkey brain who goes tee hee every time it sees these funky little children breathe.

i feel like this season and this finale is going to turn some people off of our flag means death, but it seems strange to me, you know?

like yeah there was a bit of whiplash. it went fast and hard, and that's not everyone's thing. but i feel like some people are going to be really upset by parts of the show like the way ed and stede still haven't talked to one another, the choices characters made, and the way that izzy died. but it seems like the show is structured for three seasons, so all of this ultimately makes sense to me.

ed and stede have a lot to work on in their relationship still. i think they'll find being inkeepers to not be the right thing for them. but they could use that space to figure themselves out away from the world of piracy. they need to talk, and they need to grow.

some of the character choices felt odd at times - or at least what we saw on screen. not seeing stede say goodbye to the crew felt strange, but how could they have really executed that in a satisfying way? i think the rush of the season prevented us from seeing some development play out, so things feel a bit off, but i still think the choices ultimately make sense for the characters.

and as much as it hurt, izzy's death made a lot of sense too. he had his rebirth this season - he embraced the ways of the revenge, so it felt like he had to be untouchable in the fairytale world we so often associate with the ship, but if this season has shown us anything, it's that neither the grimdark edgy lens not the bright storybook view are the truth, and the show is increasingly meeting in the middle. that pain and tragedy is real, and the fact that it hurts is what makes it work so well. stede and ed deciding to stay on land by izzy's grave? that adds a whole new layer to understanding their relationship, and i'm excited to see where it takes them.
