#but in this case it just doesn't work for me honestly

[h00d-tr4sh]

I just hooopee she don't wanna leave, me

☂ ---- 『Pairings ^_^ Daisuke Juarez x f!reader!』

warnings: none, this is just pure, tooth rotting fluff lolzzz

a/n: first actual fic, honestly a bit scared. Cut me some slack, I'm practically half asleep while making this and watching Jenn play dress to impress with Rickie lol

innocent!daisuke who always feels awkward around you because he feels like if he does something wrong or says something weird you wont like him anymore, but me and you both know that's not true

innocent!daisuke who quickly realizes that isn't the case with how obvious you make it that he can chill around you. It was tense at first, but after a while he figured it out.

When you guys finally make it out of that hell, and Jimmy obviously goes to jail, you move in together because you just feel like its the best choice given the situation.

innocent!daisuke who lets you decorate the apartment that his dad payed for, because obviously, if he decorated it it would just end up somehow looking like a frat house in the best way possible.

innocent!daisuke who when you come home one day, he literally has a cat. A random fucking cat. Where did it come from?

"I found him on the street, and I felt bad... Do you blame me?"

gaslights you without even realizing he's gas lighting you

innocent!daisuke who sets up a whole cat tower the moment the cat enters the house, and the cat basically rules the house even though its practically 2cm tall and looks like a hairball

practically a king.

"his name is Mr. Meower"

Well, it's got a name now, so there's no getting rid of the fucker. It's probably one of those crusty white cats who actually grow living organisms in the corner of their eyes.

Innocent!daisuke who probably works at a coffee shop, and you might work at a florist shop next to it. You get the vision??

Innocent!daisuke who does the worst shit without even realizing it. Oops? I just broke the TV, my bad, I'll get my dad to get me a new one. Honestly it doesn't bother you much, because you know it'll always get fixed one way or another, half the time it's actually cute when it's not annoying.

rewatched the due south pilot again with someone new. gradually pspspspspspssss at everyone i know about this show.

but yeah, two scenes really stick out to me this time about ray in terms of core features in how i come at him:

the second time they meet: their first meeting did not go well, he thought fraser had ruined his case, he was generally quite done with Stuff (and later on of course we will learn more about why he's so run down), there's this stranger demanding his time, and oh- oops he's just insulted his dead father accidentally and, huh, this oddity of a person is taking it pretty well to be honest... the second time they meet is entirely on ray. he seeks fraser out having done research on the case, but first he apologises to him very sincerely for having said those words. that is the first, big thing that ray offers fraser (the next, of course, is giving over his entire life and soul to him, but i don't think he realised that in that moment...)

after he gets blown up and is lying in hospital: he apologises again, this time for screwing things up. we know by now that he had a bad relationship with his own five-years-dead father who never thought he was good enough, that he's struggling under his caseload at work, we've got a sense he isn't super respected there either, and although we've met his family which is actually very loving (if loud and argumentative) he's giving a sense of being pretty lost in the world at that point and nothing that happened before was his fault. he's been helping fraser, against his superior's wishes, done some good sleuthing/detective work, and saved fraser by putting himself in front of the explosion. and then he apologises

I feel like a lot of the time ray's thought about in terms of his abrasiveness with people generally, his shield against the world he's quick to assume the worst of people and doesn't let others in, but fraser neatly bypasses those walls. on purpose? by accident? bit of both? i think he does sincerely See more to ray in their first scene, the "like you, he is pretending to be someone he's not" line feels like it's talking about more than just ray having been undercover in the previous scene, and because he's fraser he never belittles or mocks or gets aggressive about ray's behaviours throughout their first meeting, which probably also draws him in on top of the need to Make Things Right

i think beneath some of the goofier stuff (which, honestly, i dont think theres thaaat much of, but id have to do a proper count and parallel how many times he's there as "comic relief" vs when fraser is, and also times where ray is shown to be extremely competent which is often -- maybe i'd wish for more dramatic episodes for him but that's more to do with how good marciano's acting is than a real disservice done to ray himself) and the more petulant/childish manifestations of insecurities (it's hard being friends with a Saint, as he puts it very fairly in my opinion, although i also think that line partially relates to some other stuff he'd said about Fraser Please Taking Better Care Of Himself throughout the whole season) there's this ray, and that core is quite obvious pretty much from the get-go

a ray who meets sincerity with sincerity and takes fraser in with honestly barely any prompting at all on fraser's part. a man who maybe was desperate for something/one to believe in, who isn't super macho about admitting fault, and then -- in the hospital scene -- a man who's so used to thinking of himself as a screw-up to the point that he'll apologise for getting blown up to save fraser

there's a lot ray gives fraser. for one thing, fraser would be dead multiple times over without him. but ray Needed him to appear in his life in order to get through the damn day. he saw some storybook larger-than-life weirdo and grabbed hold of him immediately and then realised that the rest of the world seemed to want to eat said weirdo alive and pretty much said over my dead body and he's done pretty well living up to that

did, though, very much appreciated fraser finally properly telling him in red white or blue how much he means to him and how valued he is, because ray doesn't always see it. (funnily enough, they had another bomb threatening to detonate at the time. almost a full circle)

two scenes in which ray says sorry, one in which he was right to do so and one in which he was wrong. there's more to it, but that's the... Thing im thinking about

[ennobaka]

In college, my interpretation teacher said to never translate "~~じゃないか" (looks like negative connotation but is actually positive) into a sentence like "Isn't it ~~" (in my language, not English). I never took that to heart until now. I'm currently reading ORV on a novel website and there are a lot of sentences like "Aren't you ~~" which honestly sounds quite tacky

[itspileofgoodthings]

one of my favorite things about pride and prejudice is that in the last third of the book Elizabeth’s internal monologue about Darcy is her admitting that she’s in love with him but also putting all sorts of qualifications around that statement that kind of ...tamp down the level of emotion (the “feelings, if not as tender as Jane’s for Bingley, at least as just” line, even the whole thing about her and Darcy being well-matched objectively speaking) and as soon as she’s engaged you get the unbridled joy in the narrative about her own joy, cc: “I am happier even than Jane; she only smiles, I laugh.”

People findinging out that antisemitism does, in fact, victimize people

[vaguely-concerned]

I don't know what I love more, the fact that as rook you can make a statement in NO uncertain terms that you are NOT responsible one way or the other for the theological implications of the shit you're discovering in the 'regrets of the dread wolf' memories. not my jurisdiction. quite simply none of my business. not my chantry circus not my chantry monkeys. irrelevant to the matter at hand here we'll kill that god if we get to him he can get in line. or if the best thing about it is seeing the lone little 'lucanis approves' that pops up right after choosing it. corvid with a knife about to commit deicide keeping it real and sensibly, pragmatically, wilfully agnostic with me here in this magical lighthouse today

@goldcnpeaks helps me test kojirou!

" what the fuck's going on? "

his tone is harsher than he'd typically use, but surely jovie will understand, considering blood pools beneath his fingers. his neck aches and stings where chiyo bit him only moments ago, though the blonde is nowhere to be seen now. she bolted the minute jovie and luka managed to tear her off of kojirou, her eyes wide and panicked as he stared back at her. he isn't sure what he felt, what he feels -- scared? concerned? both, perhaps, and confused definitely. maybe a little woozy, too ( blood has never been his friend ).

speaking of which... the artist pulls is hand away from his neck and goes white, feeling his stomach churn at the crimson glistening upon his fingertips. hastily he discards his flannel and presses it to his wound, takes several steadying breaths. oh, this is bad. he's not lightheaded yet, but this has to be pretty bad, right?

" you know something i don't, so spill it. " it's easier to focus on jovie than himself. " why the hell did chiyo nearly take a chunk outta me? "

I just took my second shot of victoza/liraglutide after starting it yesterday and I'm still surprised that it doesn't hurt at all, because even though the needle is the tiniest goddamn thing it's still a needle, yknow? I figured yesterday at the hospital, when they taught me how to use it and it didn't hurt, it must have just been a fluke or like adrenaline from being nervous hid the pain, even to the point where the rest of the day I was a little nervous if I actually maybe didn't even penetrate my skin, but nope! Legitimately can't feel it at all, which is such a relief! I had the worst needle phobia when I was younger (specifically syringes) and while I've thankfully gotten past that with many years of medical issues forcing me to get blood tests, IV's etc, I was still nervous about if this would hurt, and if I'd be able to do it, but it doesn't and I can!

I hope that if anyone who has a needle phobia and needs victoza reads this (I'm assuming also ozempic needles are probably the same size but I have no way of knowing), that it might calm you a little, because it's really not bad at all, and when I say you can't feel it, I don't mean 'oh there's a baby pinch but it's not bad', I legit mean that I'm doing a double take and staring at where it's pressed into my skin to make sure the needle is actually in there because I cannot feel ANYTHING from it at all!

[zangoonse]

oh i dont know if i should be laughing or mortified at the fact that we may have just had a fictive show up but then very quickly disbelieve himself out of existence??? hello?????

[dimiclaudeblaigan]

Honestly though, this (what Ashe is pointing out) is exactly why I don't think GW could possibly end well. There's no "talking it over" after all the bloodshed (especially bloodshed started by them, and especially bloodshed started by them that didn't have to happen).

The way the narration leaves it "open" too at the end of GW just comes across as "it failed". It feels like... a kind of pointless story?

And I know some people might think that since Dimitri personally isn't as deeply affected by losing Matthias and so might be willing, that's still no good if his people and closest allies aren't. Rodrigue and Sylvain wouldn't be so forgiving, and I do think Dimitri would follow suit because that's his father (Rodrigue)'s closest friend and one of his own closest friends' father.

Add that to the fact that they have Sreng to deal with still (and I imagine sooner or Sylvain would figure out that Leicester had a hand in provoking Sreng to attack Faerghus) on top of losing Matthias and I imagine all the stress and aggravation wouldn't bode well for Leicester as far as Claude's thinking of things working out goes.

I just really can't see where GW goes afterward that would be "good" or works in Claude's favor at all. Maybe that was the intention and it was meant to be a route with a completely tragic ending, but apparently there are players who think it would end well and whatnot and I just can't see that happening (both from Faerghus' end and from Adrestia's end, the latter of which Claude discussed within GW itself).

If their intention was for a totally tragic ending, like yeah, I can see that... but as always the writing muddies the waters to make it sound good while something bad is happening. It keeps trying to have a positive spin on bad things as if they're just afraid to commit to a fully bad ending.

[melonisopod]

I used to think the whole "Human Order is putting you on trial for summoning too many Extra Class Servants" was dumb but...I mean if you work a bit with that and consider Extras are by and large NOT intended to be summoned normally, least of all to a Master, I can see it.

Although, I'd contend that in *most* cases, that should be the opposite of a red flag for Alaya - if Guda is able to keep a vessel of an Outer God under control? Or hell, an Avenger that explicitly hates all of humanity? that'd be a good thing, right? Like that is seriously the kind of person you want on your side, someone keeping world-ending threats in check.

Now, on the flip side of that, you have a Master who can let in a Servant whose whole being is to deceive the world itself, when Humanity is normally what defines a Heroic Spirit's very existence? And that Servant ALSO had a raging hateboner for the Human Order? Hm, then I can see that being a red flag...

Also the idea that we're in trouble with Alaya specifically because of Oberon is funny. He caused problems for us and hasn't stopped causing us problems. Silly little problems moth, whom I love. He should create more drama because it's enrichment for him.

Like everyone else I think about standalone city of mist comic a normal amount, but when thinking about other possible mediums the only filmed format I think could consistently work is something like NightMare Time.

I would pay blood to see a case like Amnesia Town or The Unwanted Guest adapted like this, the series does a very good job at conveying a similarly dramatic tone as the comics and visually it does remind me of a lot of the live play shows I've seen for city of mist already.

YOu'd maybe need to exclude the. Musical numbers but I'm sure there can be a reason for them to stay as well

You are literally putting the comfort of THEORETICAL PEOPLE above the lives of real disabled people who are facing these issues.

So, the thing is that addicts are both real & disabled, & who's triggers should be taken into account. You obviously can't give everyone accommodations at the same time since different people require different things, but if someone is recovering & cannot be around alcohol for example, you would try to take that into account when possible because you want to treat them with respect.

Nobody is doing this? You're arguing points that you're making up

So, again, this isn't a strawman argument, & I'm not making people up to defend. It's not a hypothetical. I have met these people in real life. I've been asked politely if I could make these accommodations & I agreed to it because I know how triggers work & know how much being triggered sucks. Saying "your trigger is your problem only so don't expect people to care" is just showing how little you actually care about other disabled people. Try being nicer.

you're advocating for sacrificing the lives, health, and dignity of real disabled people for the comfort of thereotical people

I literally never said that & would love if you could quote where I said that directly.

Again, I'm a real disabled person who has been in the real situation I just described. If you're in a situation where you will die unless you take your medication immediately at your desk, there are other options besides you leaving or triggering someone. You can ask them to leave for their health. Let them know when you take your meds so they can leave at that time.

it isn't hard to come up with solutions to this problem. It isn't Them VS Us. There are no sides here, just disabled people in bad situations not getting the proper accommodations. You acting like it is Them VS Us only tells me how little you actually care about fixing this issue. You only want to complain about the people you view as The Enemy. You only care about Them VS Us.

And something tells me you're not actually concerned at all about the mental health of addicts. Something tells me that you just don't want to have to see a "yucky disabled person" existing in public in a way that offends your delicate sensibilities.

you are literally so fucking pathetic if this is what you got out of "here is a problem we should think of solutions to." what exactly is telling you this? stop going into stuff like this in the worst faith possible. it makes you look like a piece of shit

Things that should be normalized:

Taking meds in public

Going out to eat by yourself

Not having your drivers license

Asking about allergies when eating out

Things that should NOT be normalized:

Watching loud videos in public without earbuds istg stop it its so annoying I don't want to hear some Minecraft dude screaming while I'm trying to eat my pancakes in peace

My boss said nobody is working tomorrow so she asked if I can come in anyway like 😭 I'm gonna die fr 😭

Between Ethel Cain's Preacher's Daughter, Shisumo's Bookstore Max AU, and whimsicalcotton's polluted marrow Max AU (and let's be real pretty much all of Life is Strange 1 & True Colors), I am noticing that I may be latching on to stories about traumatized ppl more than may be healthy
