#but literally im the only insane person who would think abt them

[auqroix]

i love how cute they were together (they had no scenes together)

[puppppppppy]

Was nobody gonna warn me that I would fall a little bit in love with every character in Stardew

[gibbearish]

am finally back home and can say without a doubt that i am just fundamentally not built for long distance travel however the train was much nicer than planes

[4phr0d17e]

ok now that ive finished it heres my tgr thoughts

ok lets start with the bits i loved:

i almost screamed when we saw andrew and kevin on page and the fact that neil didnt tell either of them he was going to california AND that they instantly knew that he was behind graysons death. DELICIOUS. tbh every time any of the foxes were on page i was smiling so big

the ravens getting suspended so early??? INSANE choice that i dont think any of us saw coming, like in the last 10 years of fic we always had a crazy trojans-ravens rematch. i cant deny i was dying to see the trojans wipe the floor with the ravens like they deserve to but at least this way jean never has to visit evermore again😍😍😍 that whole scene was truly incredible though like dan tackling someone to protect kevin??? the fact it took multiple people to pull andrew off the raven who hurt neil???? the fact that matt and aaron INSTANTLY went for the ravens who attacked andrew??? NEILS BROKEN RIBS??? that last part is 100% gonna come up again, idr who knows about it but as soon as one of the trojans connects jeans broken ribs to neils theyre gonna know exactly how jean was injured

also the scene with jean having his breakdown in front of rhemann almost brought me to tears ... "fathers" ����😭😭

OHHHH how could i forget, when jean throws bryson into lailas car!!!!!! what a fucking MOMENT jean moreau u will always be famous. and in the same vein the game where he says to his mark in french "you should be glad they have be on a leash" LOVE IT. character capable of insane violence just barely being held in check MWAH

and then the bit where hes teaching the freshman drills and he automatically raises his hand to strike them and then just bolts in the opposite direction😭😭 jean my baby i would love to know what was going on in his head at that point

its also very interesting how neils plan of "tell the fbi abt his father but nothing about the moriyamas" seems to be .... disintegrating ... the fact that so many outsiders are aware of something being super sus, what was that line? something like "how come two major crime lords got their sons into class 1 exy?" my prediction for book 3 is another ichirou appearance. idk what the fuck hes gonna do but hes gonna do something im so sure of it

this was only briefly touched on but jean getting to play without being injured .. my personal headcanon has always been that even though jean is already an incredible player hes actually better than anyone could have imagined bc hes always had to play through injuries, and that when he fully recovers hes simply unbeatable

also the whole "exy is not fun" exchange was so interesting ... makes me wonder if somehow jean will get a future where he doesnt have to play exy ......

ok now to my critiques. disclaimer that all of this is said with love and i will follow noras characters to the end of the fucking earth

but WHAT is up with the pacing?? in the original trilogy each book took place over ~3 months or so but in 2 books we havent even gotten to halloween?? how will we make it to finals in the last book??? either the last book will be a chonker or we will finally start getting small timeskips, tbh tho both are good options

i wanted so much more exy than we got, the practise scenes were amazing with jean doing his whole "just call me and you will recieve the ball exactly how you need it" AMAZING SHOWSTOPPING INCREDIBLE but then during the games the pov is so checked out .. i understand the narration will never be the same as neils but like, during the second on page game it wasnt even stated who was winning until the end???? i ws literally reading like COME ON GUYS PAY ATTENTION PLS

also this isnt a big deal but i cant be the only one who noticed the epithets💀 "the frenchman" "the grey-eyed backliner" nora come off ittttt just say his name!!!!!!!

anyway in conclusion: cannot wait for book 3. thank u nora for my life. if any of my aftg mutuals want to hop in my dms PLS feel free im clawing the walls over here

[acetheta]

top five favorite pjo characters?

okay you have definitely opened a tomb here LMFAOOO

1) no surprise to literally anyone. my boy jason grace 🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶 he has my heart and i will forever be ranting abt him especially to @sacrifical-lamb-core !!1!1! honestly there is so much about him that i never picked up on as a child. to me i headcannon him as gay for starters right? growing up i always DID love him. but i also feel like i kind of adopted him 😭 i remember the internet hating him so much jt was like FUCK YOU I HAD LITERALLY NO OPINION ABT HIM BUT SINCE U ALL DESPISE HIM HE IS NOW MY SON. im a big believer hes gay for a lot of reasons but i feel like i need to make a separate post about that 😭,. he is so traumatized 🫶 valgrace 5eva

2) ok basic ik…. nico di angelo ! besides loving nico’s character sm i saw myself in him a lot growing up. im a lesbian but was very closeted reading pjo 😭!!!! i could really relate to how he felt especially this idea of having to grow up too fast and not wanting to be gay but then like. HE found his place. if he could then maybe i could too. also im pagan but SPECIFICALLY a medium so uh !! that in common too 😭 also his character is so interesting i luv him so sososo much :3

3) okay like i know i already mentioned valgrace but i also love leo im sorry 😞….. i also see leo as gay!!! honestly i HATED leo growing up 😭 i think it is because liek. i did not understand the concept of headcannons growing up 🙁 ,. so i was like ok why tf is he like this and being a closeted lesbian im likr i do NOT get the hype!!!! but then i got really into valgrace and the lost trio and i luv them!!! (piper gets an honorable mention but i didnt want to do EVERYONE in thr lost trio LMFAO)

4) okay we getting controversial here 🤗 this past year ive gotten so fixated on beryl grace and i am such a beryl defender,. yes ofc how she treated jason and thalia wasnt okay!!! on the other hand, she is literally an abuse survivor. zeus (from pjo!!!) i didnt have phone access for awhile and i had a lot of timr to think about things 😭!!! how i see it is like. imagine if a GOD told u he loved u. someone who can literally kill / hurt life with a snap of their fingers. someone who is so much more than human. a fucking god tells u he loves u. imagine what that would do to someone? she literally went crazy. how she was written is like “she was a famous hollywood star and she was never a good person and just wanted to fuck zeus!!!” uhm no. ❤️. god . i just wanna know her backstory sooo badddd. like what made her want to go to hollywood? my personal headcannon is she had such a shit home life growing up she just wanted someone to notice her and so hey!! hence she wanted lots of attention cause she never got any growing up. then here comes A GOD who gives her exactly that!! she loved him. imagine a god tells u he loves u and bsfr its (pjo) zeus he probably made up some bs about how she was the only one he wanted and all that shit. he tells u he wants u then once u have a child, he leaves. u go mad. u just wanted one person to notice u. love YOU. and the one person (who was THE KING OF THE GODS ) ups and leaves u with a newborn child. it would drive anyone to insanity.

5) i have a lot of honorable mentions but vv similar to nico: will solace also meant sosoos much to me growing up. i saw myself in him. this happy go lucky guy who is literally the epitome of sunshine and though i didn’t understand it as much as i do now, how dark his life really is. i would DEFINITELY be a child of apollo :3!!!! i could get really into it but as a child him (and nico) were my saviors. they will always mean sm to me 🫶

[shoot-i-messed-up]

pspsps..... you should say your clarkollie thoughts....... im lady mcbething u...... prettee pls :3

TY FOR ASKING <33 but it’s honestly just my various thoughts on Clark showing up in Green Arrow (2001), most of which I’ve already said before I think

Because iirc Clark was the last person who saw Ollie, and Clark could’ve technically saved Ollie at the price of Ollie losing his arm and not being able to shoot anymore, so Oliver died

So even after Ollie reunites w the rest of the JL, Clark and Ollie have a special scene where Ollie’s like “we both need this” and they’re just like gimlet eyed looking at each other, and I feel like it’s SO easy to envision a fic where it leads in with that line and then they fuck nasty about it (metaphorically) (but also maybe literally)

When I was talking to my friend about clarkollie and how insane that line sounded, she was like… so they literally just care about each other as people. And I couldn’t even defend them, hence my reblog of that post

I did look at the clarkollie tag and saw, to my complete surprise, that there’s actually hundreds of clarkollie fics??? Like 3 or 4 times the amount that superlantern has??? Until I realized oh. That’s bc of Smallville. If u take out smallville, Clarkollie only has like 3 fics iirc

(I’m talking abt comics clarkollie, in case that wasn’t apparent before lmao)

I think Clarkollie is interesting because, like, usually when Clark goes around with a powerless fellow superhero, it’s going to be Bruce/Batman (who always gets gassed up by comics or shows as being so smart that he’s equal to Clark) or even Steel AKA John Henry Irons (whose Iron Man ahh suit basically means he does have superpowers in practice)

But Superman going around with Green Arrow? I think there’s room for thinking about that power dynamic that could cause friction in their already kinda tenuous relationship. I swear somewhere in a comic, Superman says a line about how he and Ollie never got along (that I then stole for my fic Embarcation), and it’s pretty clear from Green Arrow (2001) that Ollie thinks of Superman as being adjacent to The Man he’s always trying to stick it to. There’s also that panel from like the 80’s or smth iirc (I am probs not) where Ollie is like “sometimes I wonder if the rest of the JLA are just humoring me and giving me easy missions because I’m literally just a guy with a bow,” and Superman is so…the opposite of that. Idk. Food for thought.

There’s also the fact that Ollie is infamously leftist, and while I do think Superman has to be leftist because of…everything about him (I can’t remember exactly, but I believe his very first adventure was him breaking into a senator’s house to tell him a person on death row was innocent or something along those lines), I think in modern times, he’s been written to be more constrained in his political actions in his superhero persona due to being a symbol. I could easily imagine Ollie criticizing Clark for not doing more activism, for not using his symbol for more. Like instead of in Hard Traveling Heroes where Ollie teaches Hal to be less ignorant (a horrible oversimplification but bear with me), Ollie could help Clark find a stronger balance between being a symbol and using that symbol for good? (Although I think “help” would be a strong word there)

Also, In Green Arrow 2001 Dinah tells a woman that “the good [men] do the dishes” iirc, a pointed statement against Oliver. It reminds me of that tweet that criticizes “leftist” men who leave their household chores/management to their gfs/wives, much like their conservative counterparts. I think this is an interesting contrast to depictions of married!Clark where he’s a loyal and dutiful husband to Lois.

In conclusion: Idk!!! Could be interesting!! I would find clarkollie more interesting as friends than lovers, but I’m using the ship name just because it’s easier to talk about that dynamic that way.

[doorp]

as much as we joke abt Annabel shitting herself during a possible divorce arc we have to remember that lenore would be hurting just as bad. lenore is just as obsessed with Annabel, just as down bad, it’s just lenore wants to let herself be happy and Annabel is a big idiot who’s sticking to what she knows- and what she knows is don’t trust anyone emotion is weakness weakness can be exploited. she thinks everyone is out to get her, she’s paranoid and clinging desperately to the only person who can actually make her feel things. But back to the point, we’ve talked abt how Annabel would feel during this but not how lenore might. This was lenore when she didn’t even remember Annabel yet-

She knows literally nothing abt this person except that she has some weird draw to her and she’s smacking orbs out of the air and running around the academy with scissors looking for her. She can’t stand being apart from her just as much as Annabel- the first time they met lenore literally grabbed her skirt under the table when Annabel giggled at her

Annabel Lee “would you do something for me?” Whitlock and Lenore “anything” vandernacht

She said I will not only write you a song I will fake my death and commit fraud and we will get married - after knowing this woman for 6 months.

Miss “the world is a cruel and terrible place- omg Annabel!! I can’t be late for my midnight rendezvous with my wife!!”

She wants to be w her all the damn time

“I’ll miss u 🥺” “even today i wish you would’ve been by my side instead.” “I wish you were here with us instead. that’s the only way this afternoon could’ve been perfect. ” “what will I do without you return to the attic?” “Im not leaving her side!”

“How the devil haven’t we seen anyone else yet?”

“Why, you looking for somebody? 🤨”

Divorce arc lenore will be lennabel having gayass and tension filled arguments and lenore going to sleep at night having gayass dreams of memories abt Annabel and waking up and crying angry tears and throwing pillows at the wall as she goes off the walls bonkers. Both of them are going to get so much worse and I love that the plot needs to keep them separated bc otherwise they would fuck absolutely everyone’s shit up.

Lenore and Annabel quite literally make each other insane. If the deans want drama separating them at the beginning was possibly the best way to achieve that.

Lenores gonna be angry heartbroken I hate that I need you sad and annabel is going to be my wife hates me I hope I die and im going to make it everyones problem sad

Do not separate white raven or they will both go off the rails and do insane things bc they are stupid crazy uhaul lesbians

sorry if I said the same things a bunch of different ways but the point still stands !! a divorce arc might be sick!

[selfryed]

long awaited qna that i forgot to finish so here i am answering questions decades late while i procrastinate (will be under the cut bc nobody gaf so this is for the ppl who perhaps gaf) (some ppl wont be tagged since their questions probably got answered here!)

@underneath-the-oak-trees

-id say my artistic inspirations/influences are nephrosoupp and aprilshraga! my art is pretty based off of theirs, added my personal style, and combined it :-) but i will say i take inspo from loads of artists...my freeform board is insane

@utterlyinsanee hey bestie who i actuallt hate /J

-for layouts i sometimes try to go for a fery medieval style with how they have very decorated boarders around the art !! for colours (this was in my tutorial) i just use a saturated yellow layer and many warm colours with cool coloured shadows :-) (but if the art is meant to be dark, i wont used saturation)

-ive been drawing since kindergarten :-))) i turned art into a hobby though around 3rd grade and thats when i started to try to improve more

[sifloopboning]

ok anon again because I've ended up with brain worms to an insane degree about the concepts we've been discussing but im also shy and don't wanna create a hornyposting acct to cope with it so you get to be the recipient of my gorgeously unhinged rambles now. enjoy

so you talked abt king potentially getting sif to the point where he could hurt them and have them thank them for it. & ive been thinking kinda about how that might happen in particular rather than just "okay king puts sif through the psychological torment nexus slowly and carefully until he's 100% dependent." that's cool and all but we need specifics. we need freakmatchinggggg

and like. okay. sit down w me and hold my hand. i talked before about how getting siffrin into this dependent mindset is easymode because about 90% of the work has already been done due to siffrin psychological issues. i think the same goes for this actually.

bc regardless of how much siffrin has to work to reshape his entire personality around this dude (and he does and will work for it!) the concept of having king want him on this somewhat unconditional level despite all of siffrins perceived flaws... he'd have trouble with that. it would cause cognitive dissonance. it would make him feel secure in some ways, too, but he's already got so many issues even dealing with the concept of "earned" love that having this bottomless pit of absolute wanting just suddenly thrust upon him without warning would fuck with his head. even all the work he does to be exactly what the king wants would not ever make him feel like he's done enough to earn that kind of desire.

and they're already prone to self punishing behaviors even before all That Timeloop Shit happens (i think a Lot abt how in act 2?!!! siffrin fucks up a lil in front of their friends and goes "i gotta loop back" AKA KILL THEMELF????? fella you're not even IN the torture cube yet how are you already like this) and just general feeling like they've gotta Earn It if ppl like them

so even barring my take that sif has a bighugemassive masochist streak for sex stuff it might come as an incredible relief to him if king started hurting him in response to his perceived fuckups. in his mind he's finally getting what he deserves. there's someone who cares enough to notice those flaws and deliver him the pain he deserves. and for a while afterwards, he can deal with being treated affectionately with zero cognitive dissonance, because he feels like he's earned it. he'll start spiraling again fast if he continues to be treated niceys without any intermittent cruelty but as long as there's consistent rules to follow - a consistent script he's been given, lol - he'll be able to cope with the scary scary scary concept that someone has this unconditional possessive attachment for him.

typing this all out... I've already said multiple times that this is so easymode for king but it just IS!!! ITS CRAZY!! HE WOULDN'T HAVE TO EVEN LIFT A FINGER! JUST CONTINUAL APPLICATION OF BARE MINIMUM ASS ATTENTION AND AFFECTION WHILE OCCASIONALLY IMPLYING THAT HE WANTS SIFFRIN TO DO CERTAIN THINGS WOULD BE ENOUGH!!! SIFFRIN WILL DO LITERALLY ALL THE LEGWORK HERE! HE CAN JUST SIT BACK ON HIS LITTLE SADIST THRONE AND WATCH THEM PSYCHOLOGICALLY TORTURE THEMSELF! ANYTHING ELSE HE DID WOULD JUST BE A BONUS! they're such a fucking nightmare of a pairing I'm truly obsessed. lets fuck up this rogue in ways never invented before on this earth

can we get married platonically

fr tho this is perfect no notes. i agree 100% with everything u said this is very much a match made in the depths of hell. its like combining ammonia and bleach in a poorly ventilated basement room and brother? im huffing those fumes out of a paper bag. the only thing that would improve this kingedfrin imo would be to find a way for sif to make king even worse. most likely not on purpose but itd be interesting and just as importantly funny if it was.

i want them to evolve from weird codependent couple in their honeymoon phase to the most toxic couple on earth to the physical manifestation of the mountain goats no children song. the party arrives to defeat the king but they witness him and siffrin interacting for less than 3 minutes and they're like. hey besties um can we interest you in a divorce. please. we can fight to the death after. its just that we as a party really feel like a divorce would be beneficial to all parties here. the PRETEEN can tell you guys need a divorce and they still think actors in plays have paper between them when they kiss. please

[hexcia]

throwing my two cents into all this, i think this whole fiasco is part of a wider and quickly-growing internet culture of everyone thinking their opinions need to be 1. heard and 2. agreed with by everyone else, AND ALSO everyone viewing their own opinions as the absolute moral pinnacle of righteousness so therefore if anyone DOES disagree with them it makes them like. An evil person. and then you zoom out and its literally just fandom discourse. (not saying this situation specifically is "just" fandom discourse bc its not. Being so adamant on spreading misinfo about queer culture is so harmful. and so is ACCUSING YOU OF SA FOR TRYING TO EDUCATE THEM ABOUT BASIC QUEER HISTORY my god i hope you're alright.) (Also to clarify when i say "everyone" i am NOT both-sides-ing and I do NOT mean you or eddie. i specifically mean the ppl who started this whole thing by being so confidently wrong in their opinions. LOL)

anyway. i think a lot of people would benefit if people:

1. learnt to stop complaining so damn much about things that don't matter. (constantly complaining about stuff is horrible for your mental health and for the health of everyone around you. look for whimsy. the whole world doesnt need to know how much u viscerally hate apple pie!!!!)

2. stopped expecting everyone to agree with their opinions. (just because you hate apple pie doesnt make it a personal attack if someone else likes it!!!! on god you do NOT need to end a friendship bc someone else likes something that is so entirely harmless but you personally dont.)

and 3. stopped moralising their opinions on the literal most inconsequential things of all time. (enjoying apple pie doesn't mean you secretly support killing all puppies and cutting down all trees!!!!! that is a whole new sentence!!!)

anyway hope ur doing good tumblr user hexcia. youre slaying it up so hard. icon

anon i could kiss u

Im a firm believer in only complaining abt stupid shit that doesnt matter. the moment it starts to get into something that can affect real people- that is a hard line for me

And the fact that the people involved are so confidently wrong that they dont wanna admit they were wrong or apologize is just. so telling about the kind of people they are

not everything needs to be online sometimes you can keep opinions to yourself ong </3

also i am ok thank you for asking <333 anyone with half a braincell can see what i was trying to say. no idea where they got the insane idea that me trying to educate them = sexual assault. like grow up

[theropoda]

...... i have. PRAWBLEMS. with the ending but honestly i felt very unwell and gross rn so i had difficulty focusing in the first place, maybe if i watch it again when i feel better ill feel different. under read more bc this got long lol

disclaimer before anyone GETS at me: i am not a critic. im literally just some guy watching a tv show, and i am really more confused than anything so if you really enjoyed the finale and feel like it was the perfect way for the show to end im happy for you! i don't have any intent on arguing it Absolutely Wasn't. this isn't a Hatepost. just me airing my thoughts. that are probably really incoherent bc again, i feel unwell ;_; brain is more focused on my stomach than this damn show

i knew how this was gonna end, i did watch the end of this show before, ive always been familiar w house because i watched episodes of it on tv as a kid with my mom and sister and knew major plot points like amber's death and wilson's cancer and house faking his death and everything but. the details were lost on me. now that i know the details something about them just doesn't jive with me and feel right.

probably related to my earlier post about how even in the final season so much of house is the same. he tried to change for the better but he was still back. i mean the entire premise of the show is about "the disabled addict doctor who struggles to be a person" so if any of these magically stopped being there that'd be stupid ESPECIALLY him being a disabled addict which are so central to his character. so im definitely not complaining about that.

initially i thought him faking his death was insanely reckless but what other choice was available. if he went, Hey, im here! im alive he'd absolutely be going to jail. in jail so far away while his best friend, maybe his only friend would be dying alone. of course he did that. his only choice was ttofake his death to be with wilson. throwing away his whole life and legacy and career and reputation to be with him.

hilson endgame real but also, while watching the whole show i kept going from "tumblr didn't lie these guys are gay" to "Tumblr may have oversold it a bit". but that might just be in the nature of its episodic structure. not e everything is abt wilson there's other people in house's lofe but in that final season everything does speed up, suddenly and become about wilson. which brings me to the whole cancer thing. in my memory of the show from watching it as a kid, Wilson's cancer came up as a plot point WAY earlier and there is much more time to discuss it in the show. to ponder and delve into it, what it means for wilson, for house, for the show. but actually watching the show it feels very sudden....! i felt like the entire cancer thing, which plays so damn heavily into the SERIES FINALE, wasn't explored enough...? it felt rushed. but it might feel like it because well there's a difference between watching a show as it comes out on a schedule vs binge watching it on demand.

and another thing that irked me is- but this is more of a "this personally makes me Feel Sad and Weird" as opposed to genuine criticism is how EVERYONE thinks house is dead except Two People. that's crazy. i have a Thing for closure and knowing things, the truth, im a little paranoid about that, but it just feels insane to me that house's own parents, family, former and current colleges, lovers, everyone... they all think he's dead when he's not. i see how that is, in terms of the Narrative, a good thing? house is truly FREE now. and if other people knew they'd probably call the police. but also that's just kinda horrifying.... I don't know. idk. also wtf cuddy wasn't there at the funeral? D: obviously i know how their last meeting went but they were such big part of each other's lives im rlly shocked she wasn't there! or even showed up at ALL in the ending scene where we see where everyone's life has headed, a little scene of her, Rachel, and someone new

and also. ._. how did that fire even start in the first place?..... did i miss something....? uaaaaah. i should watch it again

ugh but despite my peeves. i want to pass this off as Just another show ive watched, time to move on to the next, because a big part of the reason i started house and kept going and even chose to watch it at the times i did was because i have been going through some rough shit mentally for the past. entire year plus. i have relied on it to keep me distracted. i want to just move onto the next distraction but i have become so attached, it's hard to not feel :/ and :( about 1) the fact it's over now 2) it ended in a way that makes me feel funny, and not in a good way. aaaahhhhh.

[equarretedddd]

my headcanons and ideas regarding the backstory and the families of Abigail, Charles and Dick’s work trio (ive been thinking about this idea since 2021 andd now i want to complete it to the end lmao)

-

ABIGAIL

i see her childhood as rather unremarkable and ordinary.

she could live in some farm or country surrounded by warm wind and fields of wheat ears. she had a full family of father, mother and several siblings (presumably brothers). i assume that Abi noticeably lacked female maternal care and warmth, because her mother, although she could be quite caring and loving, was chained by some complex chronic disease that took a lot of time and effort. Abigail could often be surrounded by a male family side in the form of a father and brothers who could make fun of her sometimes, but nevertheless be an important part of her life (they would stand up for her and she would stand up for them too). her father could be quite a serious and strict person (maybe hes a cop i havent decided yet!), but Abi had a support and a role model, whom she could rely on and from whom she could feel moral support and understanding.

i see Abi’s rise up the career ladder as quite gradual and smooth. from an amateur family interest in music, she began to be interested in this on a more conscious level, that is, studying at the conservatory, time-consuming work and possibly establishing partnerships with other people.

-

2. DICK

i see his childhood as quite poor and not particularly enviable, maybe he was from an immigrant family where there was barely enough to pay the bills.

however, he was a pretty capable kid who was open to develop! he was quite willing to reach for knowledge and skills, tried to be interested in many things and dreamed of becoming successful, i actively see him as a geek and a technician! but perhaps, he was not particularly supported and helped in this, he had to resort to various kinds of offenses, he could just get used to it and consider it the only working way out (this does not justify him ikr hahaha).

nevertheless, he was insanely oppressed by his social status, he felt like an unaccepted and rejected outcast who would be shunned all his life. i guess thats how he got close to a successful career, getting involved with crime and mistreatment of people, because it WORKED. he looks like a man who seems to be boasted of his success, like "look at me im rich and i have achieved everything i wear in vulgar glamour clothes and hang out with hot girls and rich guys", but in fact he just went head over heels from the inability to cope with everything piled on him and the the cult of success and achievement gradually deprived him of humanity.

-

3. CHARLES

btw i really like the theory that he is somehow related to Salacia, i hope that something will be told about it! but i will try to push off from something else.

Charles himself looks like a person who… had been ready ALL his life for his purpose and responsibilities to be responsible for other people's lives (it concerns not only Dethklok because he literally holds the global economy and is responsible for almost half of the things that are related to the world situation). i see him as the son of a wealthy family with a very large family tree (cmon he fenced in college). he probably did a lot of things in his childhood that related to weapon control, self-defense and protection (this is even if we dont talk abt legal, economic, managerial, social and other shit that he had to deal with).

i literally see him as an indigo child who obviously always knew what he needed to do and he aspired to it through blood, tears and sweat. probably, he did not see any other way out and did not imagine what could be an alternative to this, although perhaps he was faced with a strong identity crisis when he did not understand why he was doing all this and whether this was really the essence of his existence, bcs, probably, others actively pushed participated in Charles' achievements and prospects. in general it was as if his entire subsequent life was built for him from the very beginning.

[skeletaltoad]

i dont usually post actual like serious thoughts abt yellowjackets unless im being mean (and some of y'all deserve it) but have some genuine thoughts for a second.

i think the general interpretation of coach ben is. wrong. and hear me out on this one.

ben didn't really lose much in the crash. besides his leg. and an argument could be made that he was likely close to coach martinez (and i would have personally loved to see that dynamic actually play out literally At All).

but his life was already pretty bleak. he wasn't. happy. he was not a happy guy. we see him genuinely Happy maybe three times in the entire show - in 2 flashbacks and in his what-if fantasy. but that's. it. his relationship ended before the girls even won states, and he really. didn't have anything else.

he wasn't happy coaching. we Know That. he didn't hate doing it, obviously. and i don't think he hates the girls (he genuinely cares for most of them, and we see this in the show, and this INCLUDES misty). but he was never happy. it was never a fulfilling career and it certainly didn't make him content in life.

i don't think it's unrealistic to suggest that this is a career he chose because it was a safe path for him. he was likely pushed into sports in high school, and becoming a high school coach would have been the more low-key career path to follow after that. especially if this is the town he grew up in.

he is not different from the girls or travis or javi. he didn't have this amazing happy life he was ripped from. he had a kind of shitty life with One good thing in it that he'd already lost. getting stranded in the wilderness didn't take away his happiness. it took away any chance he'd had to find it.

and, so when he finds SOME normalcy with natalie, and he can finally be himself around someone, that's important to him. so when nat abandons him, too, he has truly nothing left. he has nothing there, nothing to go back to.

ben isn't immune to the wilderness. it did get to him. but it didn't drive him insane or pull him into it like it did with the girls. and i don't think it has to. he's the only character so far who has actively tried to kill himself. he's isolating himself in an extreme way now. everything is being taken away from him over and over. and the further away he distances himself from the girls and the wilderness, the more he loses.

i think it's entirely possible he could survive only not to be rescued. i know that's largely been a joke theory but i don't think it's even improbable. it's in line with his character arc.

Shit why do I do this to myself. I reread twins and MY GOD IM IN SO MUCH PAIN I feel gutted, stabbed, shot, skinned, flayed, burnt, drowned, chocked and since that was such an addictive chapter I had to go on to defeat. Gosh your writing feels so real it’s insane, it’s as if the characters aren’t characters but real people their choices and words are so REAL and so true to how humans would be. AND you do such an amazing job at portraying how flawed they are, I feel like a lot of fics I read tend to make characters too good-ish ykwim? Also, I love how Friedrich (the loml 😍) doesn’t completely fall into comforting Y/N but instead makes her take responsibility and forces her to face the consequences of her actions, while Colt is a lot more sympathetic and softer towards her which just melts my heart. I am sososososoeoeoso grateful I found you, your writing is godlike and ur shitposts lowk make my day 😁 (this might be the first ever sith ask I’ve sent with emojis that aren’t crying) and ofc I can’t send this off w/o a friedrich rant: loveofmylifeforeverandever what am I supposed to do without him, I think my obsession has been getting out of hand lately cos he’s all I’ve been thinking about AND I CANT EVEN TALK TO MY FRIENDS ABT HIM!1!1 I’m supposed to be a nonchalant dreadhead, not a fanfic xreader connoisseur who gets a visceral reaction at the tiniest mention of a nonexistent aot character😣😣

AHAHAH twins is a crazy chapter alice’s pov is…something…she as a character in general is so odd like i think given her situation and whatnot she makes SENSE and especially as a parallel to y/n she’s very important (especially given her perspective and view of character’s we’ve only seen through an unreliable narrator thus far) but she is such a freak and also so tragic but it’s also like as bad as you feel for her she’s also a victim of like. a self-imposed tragedy?? it’s all just very strange like i’m the one who wrote her and even i never know how i feel about her on a day to day basis. also i’m responding to this on my ipad so idk how long it’ll be so i’m adding a read more jic

YAYYY thank you so much i really appreciate that!! i def know what you’re talking about — a lot of people are scared to make their characters feel too flawed or human which makes sense because it’s fiction so we want to read about people who are better than us!! but ship in the harbor especially was explicitly written to be a deconstruction of the glorified war stories and specifically the badass girlboss femme fatale trope with the character of y/n. if you take away the context of the story then she has all of the makings to be another ya heroine who everyone praises: she’s explicitly stated to be very beautiful, is super smart, has an uncanny skill with a weapon that makes her strong despite physically being weak, is able to win an entire war with her ideas + is considered a hero by people for that, and has many beautiful men in love with her!! HOWEVER this trope has always annoyed me especially because of how lightly killing other people is taken in stories like that where it’s just like “meh whatever they were #villains” hence why i really really tried to show how it would impact the characters and how killing people and war and violence and all of that aren’t just “ha ha action plot !1!1” but they can have legitimate consequences on the people who take part in them.

even the guys who are in love with her are meant to be examples of just that: friedrich in another story could be considered the typical “edgy” love interest who would do anything for her and is a sarcastic charming guy with violent tendencies however in sith we see that he’s so attached to her at first because she represents innocence and needs to be protected, then because she literally holds his and his family’s lives in her hands (as she threatens to report his theft of food to the marleyans if he tries to quit the candidacy), and finally because she’s really the only person who understands him and vice versa. with colt he COULD’VE been the typical “sweet” golden retriever li but as we know he does plenty of selfish stuff, he’s concerned with his family above all else, and he leads soldiers to their death just like the rest. even hadrian and marek (although marek isn’t necessarily a love interest but in another world he would’ve been) are inversions of popular tropes: instead of a girl nursing a man back to health and he falls in love with her, it’s hadrian who nurses y/n to health and shows her the truth about the world (before she runs away anyways) and with marek even though y/n is technically the one who gets him to talk and open up it’s his acceptance and view of her as a hero which allows her to finally start thinking of herself in a more complex lens than just a black-and-white “i’m evil” way. actually that’s kind of the purpose of the story as a whole, there rarely ever is a true evil and good in real life conflict, it’s all just people doing what they think is right!! if you look at marley vs athyae especially it’s obvious there were good and bad people on both sides — while obviously marley was the instigator and “more” wrong, there were also people like the warrior candidates fighting for them, whereas while the athyaens were the victims and “less” wrong, what they did to marek was INSANE (the chapter were y/n describes his wounds and he tells her about his torture is honestly more horrific to me than any of the ones that actually take place in athyae) so like how can you paint any one faction as solely evil or solely good??

ANYWAYS that was so much rambling and for what 😭 long story short thank you so much i really set out to make everything feel human and realistic so i’m glad you appreciated that!! i think sith is definitely very special to me for that reason as i’ve never really gone so in depth with a deconstruction as i did with it (also why the outline might seem to fall flat/be cliche — the entire point of sith was to take cliche tropes and explain how they would actually play out but without the elaboration it just feels like cliche events are occurring for no reason)

LKSJDFD yeah for being the one who’s disgustingly in love with y/n (not that colt isn’t but it’s to a lesser extent) friedrich is always the FIRST to call her out…meanwhile colt is much gentler with her and honestly i think that’s what makes them work as a trio!! it’s also mentioned at some point i think in the chapter where y/n thinks friedrich is dying of lung disease that colt had come to talk to friedrich about his issues with y/n and honestly in my mind i think friedrich is really supportive and a good listener with colt (besides teasing him constantly) he’s just specifically calling y/n out because he knows no one else will do it!! which is actually true LMAOO he only gets away with it because she’s kind of incapable of being mad at him or saying no to him (if you think about it i think friedrich is the only character who she’s never had like active beef with and who she listens to if he yells at her instead of yelling back)

OMGGG YOU’RE TOO SWEET I’M SORRY I JUST WROTE AN ENTIRE ESSAY IN RESPONSE TO THIS!! BUT i really appreciate it and i’m glad you like my shitposts i LOVEEE making shitposts and just writing whatever on here!! i’m also so glad that you still think about sith and friedrich and the rest even now hehe it really does make me feel so appreciated and like people enjoy what i write to the extent that they even love this silly little guy who i entirely made up from my mind 🥹 always feel free to send me sith asks i’ll always be happy to rant about them literally whenever

[aslongasimhereyoureinvincible]

what are your neurodivergent headcanons for hq characters?

asdfjhgfds sorry this has been in my askbox for a few days ive been busy w/ Life Stuff TM but anyways ND haikyuu headcanons lets gooo

hinata:

ik bc hes Sunshiney and Loud lots of ppl read hinata as adhd, which i can deffo see, but personally i read him as autistic

hes extroverted and good at adopting introverts (kageyama, kenma, yachi, tsukki) but when u stop to think abt it hes also actually kinda bad at social ques and 'normal' behaviour?? i think ppl dont notice bc hes also rlly nice but hinata is actually pretty blunt lmao

his special interest is literally volleyball cmon now

its canon that he dislikes being in classes too long or doing homework bc he finds sitting still for too long difficult, both me and my autistic older brother used to get up and pace around our classrooms when we were younger

even though hes rlly athletic and has insane reflexes obviously, hes also pretty clusmy and especially bad at judging distances which to me looks like dyspraxia which is really commonly comorbid w/ autism

ive also read a few fics where he has tourettes syndrome w/ body tic and i can deffo see why ppl would hc that

idk hes just reads as autistic so well in my mind like idk why its not a more common take

kageyama:

this one is less of a headcanon and moreso just interpreting the text correctly; hes definitely autistic

like its my belief that furudate either knowingly wrote kageyama as autistic or like based his personality off of an irl autistic person they knew or SOMETHING bc its actually insane how well he reads as autistic

the lack of social skills? the anger issues? the deep special interest in volleyball? the just wanting to express your feelings/opinions but coming off as rude but not knowing how to fix that? middle school being a living hell? having that one family member who Got you? the high level of skill in one particular area? hes literally the texboox definition of autism

even the little things like how he files his nails and jokes go over his head and he accidentally insults ppl bc hes calling it how he sees it and how he basically had no friends growing up bc he was too focused on volleyball and how he struggles to smile on command like!!! thats autism babe!!!!!!

oh also hes dyslexic bc im dyslexic and i say so

ushijima:

same as kageyama i bet he was either knowing written as autistic or based off of an irl person who is

blunt as all hell, monotone voice and facial expressions, volleyball as a special interest, bad at social interaction, accidentally rude, the list goes on and on

like his whole thing about how his left handedness makes him different but is also a gift that benefits him in some ways? thats a metaphor for neurodivergency dont @ me

oikawa:

i hc him as having narcisstic personality disorder, not in the ableist reddit-user 'all ppl w/ npd are evil manipulative abusers' way but in the ' i have npd and know what it actually looks like' way

hiding massive insecurities by acting like youre amazing?? that fuckin marina lyric thats like 'i feel like im the worst so i always act like im the best'?? that was abt oikawa tooru and npd

feeling threatened the second someone as good or better than you shows up? fixating on one specific thing that you have to be the best at? those are npd as fuck traits

the way he can basically get along with anyone and adjust his play style to suit them but only has a few close friendships where he can let his true personality rlly shine through

hes literally so npd coded augh <3

bokuto:

i read him as adhd and having cyclothymia

i think he was unmedicated in high school and unknowingly had depressive and hypomanic episodes which affected his play

he also very much reads as having rejection sensitive dysphoria if u ask me

and the way he talks and bounces around and has All That Damn Energy gives me adhd vibes, esp pared w/ his poor volume control ad the way he ignores social cues lol

okay quickfire round bc im getting tired of typing

atsumu is autistic, so is osamu for that matter, theyre just at very different points on the spectrum and rub each other up the wrong way a lot of the time bc of it

kita is also autistic bc no neurodivergent person is that particular about doing things the 'right' way

hoshiumi is autistic and adhd

asahi and yamaguchi read like they struggled w/ anxiety and depression

sakusa has ocpd and ocd (contamination ocd specifically) and mysophobia

kyoutani has aspd, again not in a 'aspd = violent agressive psychopaths' way but in a 'i actually have a cluster b personality disorder' way, and adhd also

kenma is autistic and has social anxiety

yachi has social anxiety too bc cmon now

tsukki reads to me as having chronic depression, i think i could also make a case for him being autistic too ngl

tendou is some flavour of neurodivergent, probally audhd, probably some other stuff, idk but hes definitely not neurotypical

like hinata, lev reads as autistic to me even tho hes got that goodball energy thatd make lots of ppl read him as adhd bc like,, he just fuckin sucks at social interaction like he is accidentally rude all the damn time lmaoo

fukunaga and aone are both autistic w/ selective mutism and/or partial to moderate non-verbalness

obviously its none of my business and i think having headcanons abt irl ppl is Fucking Weird but i wouldnt be surprised if furudate themself was autistic bc truly so many characters in haikyuu can be read that way if u ask me, although maybe im just projecting lol

[spacehostilityy]

NNT Rewatch s2ep1-6

(This was written weeks ago but was in my queue. I am moving back to my college town Saturday so busy days are to come but now I have things to procrastinate 😈)

So YAYAYAY time for season 2 (my fave season overall) !! I’ve rewatched this one before, so i actually remember some of this lol

Ban: I quit

Meliodas: your face is the only joke we can handle

HE GOT HIS ASS DAMN

i love both of diane’s orange fits, but s1 leotard hits different

i have thots abt the introduction of power levels that will be told beneath the cut

i mean it’s all very dragon ball (which i love, but in a very different way). I feel like they are just better executed in manga format, because saying the numbers out loud just kinda breaks up the flow of dialogue and action. Plus the numbers never stay accurate since the characters are always powering up and nakaba lowkey just stops using them at one point. so like assault mode!Meliodas has a power of 142,000. BUT he defeats enemies with powers higher than that and is shown to gain even more power. But this is the highest number we have for him. Overall, theyre clunky, not updated enough to be accurate, and just kinda cheesy :/ I feel like plot could have been added to justify and explain the eye of Balor (AKA Drole if i remember correctly) but it’s just used as an excuse to quantify the characters’ strength since this season is mainly focused on physical and emotional growth, as seen by the Ishtar Arc (one of my fave arcs hehe)

merlin’s friendship with hawk is actually so cute tho

so Meliodas’s beginner stats (still missing his powers) are magic 400, strength 960, spirit 2010. The way I see it, his insane spirit strength could mean one of two things: bitch is just hella determined in his quest to end their curses and protect his friends (likely) or merlin taking away his power only affects his strength and magic since spirit has to do with your mind (also likely) anyway what do y’all think?

how the fuck is gowther’s strength 500??? The average person who can lift 50-100 lbs has a strength of 30. HOW IN THE FUCK?? IS GOWTHER SECRETLY SWOLE????

Meliodas being like “no idk who the ten shadows could be haha” when he and merlin literally formed the sins to fight them and HE WAS THE LEADER OF THE 10 COMMANDMENTS is so funny like so tru king lie to their faces

the first thing Zeldris says is “3000 years... please tell me that he’s still alive” which tells me two things: 1) he doesn’t know about Meliodas’s curse, which could explain why estarossa kills him when he’s just going to come back a rival to the throne of the demon king and 2) the listed life expectancy of 1000 years for demons is probably not accurate lol

maybe it’s driven down due to number of battle deaths like the mortality rate of the middle ages lol

we are introduced to a demon who hopes mel is alive, shares a voice actor, AND HAS THE SAME FACE yeah the brother coding is very thick

AJSDBJKBHJEBFNWKFH YESSS THIS IS MY ALL TIME FAVE INTRO SONG AND ANIMATION

ban’s refusal to get jericho’s name right makes me laugh every time

Jericho: is scared and runs to Ban

Ban: 🤨 yeah. i don’t remember asking you to grab my arm🙄

im sorry but king rlly was a bad fairy king like mans didnt even know the forest was there 😭 its ok tho i love that for him

King hating Ban at first bc he “killed elaine and destroyed the fairy kings forest” only for Ban to pull THE BIGGEST uno reverse on him will never not be funny

wait does that mean ban is technically the 4th fairy king and king is both the 3rd and the 5th bc that would be rlly funny and does happen quite a bit historically

I love how as much as a smug asshole Ban is, he’s not rubbing it in King’s face and is showing him he’s still his friend

so if Gil is Margaret’s guard and Griamore is Veronica’s, does that mean Howzer was Elizabeth’s ?? bc that would be so fucking funny

Helbram got King’s ass with “and you’re short”

KASBDFNJBSDKF HE LOOKS SO GOOFY😭

MY BABYGIRLS ARE HEREEEE

Best girls Melascula and Derieri fr

i love that they said slader is gay, how can we let the audience know and then gave him the smoothest, gayest voice imaginable

merlin calling og gowther a great magician when we know he was the one to train her is actually so sad, i want to give baby merlin a hug

slader is hot, thanks for coming to the ted talk

how the fuck does he walk like this tho??

is there a reason i just don’t remember why they never really bring up albions again or do they just ~disappear~ conveniently from the story lol

So the whole concept of sacred treasures is really cool to me because they are clearly something unique to the Sins, despite all of the sacred treasures being very different and made of different materials. I mean Gowther’s is straight up made of light Still, them having weapons that serve as a constant and grow with them as they become more powerful is just a neat concept to me. I just wish we could have seen Ban use Courechouse more than just a few episodes. There really isn’t a plot reason he couldn’t have had it beforehand.

Gerheade being a bitch to Ban bc he’s a human makes literally no sense when we learn her backstory with Rou. Like NO sense at all lol

I honestly love that Meliodas destroyed the albion on his own. Like yes, he is my OP blorbo BUT he’s also supposed to be incredibly powerful in canon, which we haven’t seen him go all out with an enemy yet. Not only does he know all about albions (bc he’s a demon), but as leader of the 10 Commandments, he probably was on the controlling side of the golems. Then, as a member of Stigma, he fought against them. Not to mention, this is when he finally gets Lostvayne (the DEMON sword) back. This moment for me is when he gets to show off the perks of him being a powerful and high ranking demon. Might fuck around and do a full post later on Meliodas’s relationship to his own race and what/who he is lol

Ban screaming “you bitch!!” is... a wonderful experience

Yass king (hehehehe get it? bc his name is king? hehehe)

Galand petting Gloxinia is actually so cute lol

Merlin covering Arthur’s eyes 😭😭 she’s his mom fr

“its been a while meliodas” oop galand just let the Meliodas is 3000 years old cat out of the bag ehehe

(stay with me bc im about to get delusional) WAIT so galand says “to think that after all this time has passed youd still be in that form” in this essay i will prove that Meliodas looks like a young teenager because he essentially is biologically young for the demon race. Galand doesn’t know Mel was cursed, so he would think that he had aged in the past 3000 years. Plus, I think the demon king’s possession of Meliodas AND Zeldris can be (somewhat) compared to Sariel’s aging up of Solaseed. Anyway, i feel like this can support my hypothesis of Zeldris and Meliodas are just babies who will eventually look like adults. Also, I think them being super young just enhances the angst quite well.

everyone is fucking terrified of galand but hes just a silly foolish little fellow to me lol

ban and king being brothers-in-law makes my heart happy like theyre so cute

Ban threatening Gerheade and actually being pissed and serious has suddenly reminded me that if i saw a grown ass man who couldn’t die and was a 7 foot tall violent alcoholic i would be fucking terrified

like a demon 14 year old? creepy ig but not a 7 foot tall masochist with an 8 pack

I love how hard Diane always goes for the ones she loves, she’s just so devoted and passionate Best Girl tm behavior

*Merlin being incredibly confidant and nonchalant starting a proposition*

Meanwhile Merlin’s thoughts: SHIT SHIT I HAVE 10 SECONDS TO THINK BEFORE EVERYONE I LIKE DIES

Meliodas doing the same thing Hendy did by reattaching his fucking arms using Darkness and the sins still being like wait?? is Meliodas?? a... demon ??? 🤨

okay so we DO see him in this mode again. But what is it called? and why does he become no thots head empty? its not like he died. and even in assault mode, he has thoughts and emotions (when they’re not stuck in purgatory) 

Im ngl, i forgot everything about this episode entirely lol

obvi i hate that derieri died, but at least the souls she fucking ate got returned lol

do we think arthur has a tiny teenage gay crush on meliodas? Discuss.

(the answer is yes ehehe)

gowther walking around with his dang a lang swangin hehe

Gil crying in annoyance and defeat as griamore and howzer bicker is literally so hashtag real

HENDYYY MY BABYGIRL IS BACK BAYBAYYYY

very suddenly realized that Hendy’s probably only like in his 30s. Mans is just not that old

exactly 3 seconds after I had that though Howzer calls him old man LOLLL

i forgot about hendy’s childhood trauma. damn. thats actually rlly sad :/

look how cute he is tho 😭😭

hendy and dreyfus are in love. thanks for coming to another one of my ted talks

so do we think dreyfus is half druid (and zaratras is full) or zaratras is half druid? i mean they’re half brothers but only one is a called a druid sooo

IM SORRY BUT THIS IS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING SCREENSHOT ASDFFHSLDH elizabeth scandalized, meliodas accepting his fate, slader leaning in closer and blushing ITS JUST SO GOOD

The ass shot of Diane 🤨😑

Damn Idk how i never realized that all of them pretty much only call Meliodas captain. Merlin, Ban, and Elizabeth are the only ones who will call him Meliodas, but even merlin and ban typically go with captain.

“im a giant, why arent you afraid of me?” hes a fucking demon. lol
