Why I don’t dislike TogaChako’s ending as much as I dislike DekuBaku’s:
Is the TogaChako ending bury your gays? ABSOLUTELY. And that is a fact worthy of disappointment and frustration. However, I believe TogaChako’s ending makes literary sense and is perfectly in character, especially for Toga.
Toga has always said she has romantic feelings for Ochako AND Izuku. She wants to talk about Izuku with Ochako. Toga wouldn’t be sad or jealous about Ochako being with Izuku. She’d be (and is?) overjoyed at the idea. I firmly believe she’d love nothing more than to be in a polyamorous triad with them, if given the chance.
Toga’s character arc was about learning that she is lovable, and that the better way to show her love is by caring about other people’s happiness, instead of taking from them. She shows this love by pushing Ochako toward happiness.
Ochako’s feelings for Toga aren’t disrespected by the narrative either. She’s spent 8 years unable to move on with her life without Toga, dedicating herself to helping children like Toga. It takes a hallucination (or visitation?) of Toga telling Ochako she loves her and it’s okay for her to move on for her to consider doing so.
Does it suck that the WLW couple can’t be the happy ending? Yes. But I still find their ending beautiful, in a way, and I think it is completely within character and the theme of their relationship.
But dkbk.
DekuBaku’s ending isn’t just heartbreaking; it doesn’t make sense for the characters and themes of the show.
Izuku’s dream was to be a Pro Hero, like All Might. His underdog passion for that dream is what made many of us fall in love with his character from the start.
Throughout the story, the narrative emphasizes that Izuku’s strength is Katsuki’s weakness, and visa versa. At the turning point in Izuku and Katsuki’s relationship, All Might (DekuBaku’s ultimate mentor) tells them that by combining their strengths, they could be the best heroes together.
I’ve felt this was a main theme of the show: Izuku and Katsuki both represent the best and worst qualities of a hero, and they must learn to complete each other.
Can people grow up and change their dreams? Of course. But it’s not satisfying in a fantastical story like this one, especially when all that change happens during a time skip. Are we supposed to be proud of Izuku for no-longer dreaming of fighting beside Katsuki above all else? How can I, when Katsuki (who has earned his character development like no other) is losing his dream in the process?
#I know I know it’s not as dramatic as all that#they can still work together sometimes#but the casualness is almost worse#if izuku’s turning Katsuki down#that should be monumental#for Izuku not just for Katsuki#mha spoilers#431 spoilers#bkdk#dkbk#bakudeku#dekubaku#bnha spoilers#bonus chapter spoilers

sometimes i think about natural hair machete
.
#OOHH#natural hair Machete!#I've drawn him with the trimmed fur for so long I had almost forgotten he's capable of being floofy as f- heck#shedding becomes instantly ten times worse#really captivated by the way you rendered the fur#it looks so soft and voluminous and the way the tufts curl just seems so three dimensional#the shading auh#the little bit of pink on the elbow#and the expression as well#he comes across a lot more casual and relaxed somehow#that's nice#such a lovely surprise! thank you!#gift art#alwaysoutofpaper#own characters#Machete#from pencil neck to mane

#having a hashtag bad sub moment#where im almost certrainly going to hook up with someone next week#and we're negotiating edging/denial in the days leading up to it#but i know myself and i know that i dont trust their dominance enough to hand over full control#and if i start having worse anxiety attacks from not getting off (theres a correlation dont @ me)#i will absolutely just break the denial#should i feel guilty about breaking rules if theyre set by someone who doesnt actually have claim over me???#my traditionalist d/s mind says yes#but my casual modernist mind says no#anyway if anyone would like to weigh in in the replies please do im curious what you all think

im watching a retrospective about Majora's Masks dungeon progression and realizing a little more every time he says "this game took a lot of very brave steps out to not be ocarina of time" that my disappointment with totk isn't out of place. I've been told "it's breath of the wild 2, why did you expect it to be different?" but like.. it's it's own game. why is it the exact same but with an arguably worse iteration of the story?
#i actually have a very long list of reasons i dont like totk but yall have heard all of them a million times before#he makes a point of showing how the 3ds remakes ruined a lot of majoras masks unique boss fights#and i agree completely. i think its emblematic of how zelda has changed as a franchise#if the most casual non gamer would be frustrated by a puzzle or fight it needs to be dumbed down NOW!#vs how the games used to be almost mythical. like how people STILL talk about the old water temples#how it used to be an EXPERIENCE to go thru dungeons. it would take hours#it would feel like something#the quote unquote dungeons in totk are the subway surfer tiktoks of ingenuity. its so disappointing#totk is only better than botw in 2 facets. it handles fantastically. and tulin. thats it that's all it did to be its own game#oh and the brave choice to not even mention revali by name which is fucking hilarious#genuinely so disappointing that they can have more money and man power than god and the games are worse now

we still haven't seen armand drink on screen, right? (aside from that one reciprocal moment with lestat) there was the cheers with louis but then it cut away and his glass still looked full afterwards. what could they be hiding? i mean surely he does need blood and they told us he hunts for it but?
something something armand always offering his blood never taking, a metaphor for his relationships but also something more? (honestly we saw louis drink from him soo many times like between that and his bloodline no wonder that mofo is powerful enough to challenge a hoard of vampires)
#i'm so curious but mebbe i'm just grasping at straws#not like he could turn daniel without drinking from him either#unless...#either way i do think blood sharing is such a big thing with him#like it's almost worse how casual he is about it#not to mention protecting daniel with his blood in devil's minion#interview with the vampire#armand#amc iwtv#iwtv#loumand#iwtv spoilers

(mgv) frankly a house md omegaverse would require an entire rewrite rather than just "the episode but with mgv elements" bc i have house and wilson helping each other with their cycles (meaning they're fucking) so their dynamic could go even crazier. they bang, unbonded, as friends, which isn't super crazy uncommon but they also regularly display courtship behaviors that they apparently either ignore or write off as pranks or basic decency -- wilson letting house eat off his plate is a huge one for example
#mgv#house md#house mgv#hilson#their will they wont they (that doesn't exist but it Does. to Me) is even worse basically#like they're so close to a breakthrough and yet. they are Stupid#“house would do wilson before cameron does chase” enter house casually dropping that#it is in fact wilson who does him every so often#and only when wilson is not married bc for all his whorishness wilson does try at first#and aside from house's relationship issues keeping him from forming connections#he's also lowkey trying to stay available in case wilson finally decides to get real with him (he's down so bad)#sidebar i feel like i get so sidetracked typing these posts and tags out with The Right Words#that i end up going on entirely separate tangents and completely lose the initial idea i came in with#my brain is a run on sentence generator almost 30 years strong

I keep dreaming up Limbus Company sinner gets isekaid into Genshin Impact AUs
I sadly don't have the full set of 12 plotted yet, but I've started designing the ones I'm invested in.
Everyone having locations and then casually dropping that Outis is in the Arataki Gang. Give the old woman a gun again. She deserves it. ❤️
I also think she would get along with Shinobu.
It would be an entire lore dump on their general isekai'd lifestyle, their new social circle, if they share their history, and the possibility of them using specific weapons or visions. (Some characters have notes on skill/burst/idle animations)
Currently I am drawing each character with a basic weapon that is either tied any WAW egos a character has or an item that is related to their backstory.
#Limbus Company#please tell me if i shouldn't main tag lolol#i find it fun to plot so many individual aus-- and it helps me think about different aspects of a character's personality#ive been on the Rodya Appreciation Train™️ for the past week and it's really refreshing to think about her in a new environment#just... character traumas could show in such unique ways.#the limbus cast wouldnt be stuck in the city where corporations rule the people and the poor is seen as fodder.#teyvat would literally be heaven compared to the city#Ishmael casually watching Arlecchino stomp in a guys head yeah its gross but its nothing compared to the pallad whale. or the lake mermaids.#Outis living in the daily hijinks of the Arataki Gang and learning to be a normal human being#outis having to get over her war traumas and learn to actually trust people. she gets a healing arc#i honestly think don might be the only one who would actively talk about her home world#none of the others really have anything... great to say.#Rodion might tell people but it would be moreso a threat. she shows that shes done worse. shes delt with worse.#anyways i almost put sinclair in sumeru becaue i thought it would be funny for the pathetic boy to have his prosthetic studies be used#only for Sinclair to learn that replacing someones entire body is likely. really against the law in sumeru. it would be funny for him.#but in the end sinclair is a little german guy. and the hilarious thought of him performing maracas in Diluc's bar won.

not sure if that was a casual mind whammy or just them being surprisingly cooperative with Albia, but either way,
I regret to admit I do find Agatha's point of focus here pretty funny.
#girl genius#page react#late on this one it's fine#I am all suspicious of Albia now :/#Like how did she know so fast that Agatha was awake?#does this casual almost-command of Vi and Zeetha have any relation to the god queen 'yours' from before the haitus?#and if it does- does that mean she temporarily (or worse permanently) has some degree of command over Agatha's people??#bc I don't think I like that#but then again: after THAT dramatic display I'm possibly quite paranoid

it is unfortunate when i go to prayer and cry my eyes out and the only response i really hear is that i simply have to bear it. like usually i can get my emotions out and once they’re settled i hear a rational solution but it sucks when i don’t get the answer i want. i just have to keep waiting. like normally i hear something that gives me strength but wow apparently i’ve hit a new low
#literally all my problems would be so much easier to deal with if i had friends#and normally i’d be told ‘do this and you’ll probably find friends’#my plan has always been just to wait for someone to find me bc i’m horribly shy and antisocial#even though logically i know that’s a bad way of going about it#my logical rational analytical brain has always been obsessed with finding concrete answers. it’s always been ‘what can *I* do’#so even when i suffer there’s a part of me that says ‘it’s ok once i’m done crying i can work this out and go right back to trying’#i’ve been emotionally dead for years but i’ve always held onto faith like that#tonight i feel like i’ve been brought low. i feel like i’ve finally been told that i might just have to wait after all#which i might think would be comforting bc it absolves me of responsibility#but it’s actually crushing bc it absolves me of power#i feel like i’m finally facing the realization that i’m powerless and pathetic and i’m never going to be able to fix myself#that i can try as hard as i want but i can’t shake off this cross#but i don’t know how long i have to wait for someone to find me#and even if they find me how do i not fumble it#my first instinct is to push people away bc i assume they’re not really interested they’re just trying to be nice#which is usually true#i don’t even know how to sustain casual friendships and im so desperately in need of deep ones#i can’t open up to someone without just breaking apart and making it clear how pathetic i am#one would think i ought to find someone better than myself who can fix me#but on the other hand i think the only time that the good parts of me come out is when im facing someone even worse than me#like i have a tendency to morph into the opposite of the other person in any given situation to maintain healthy balance#so like when surrounded by extroverts which is almost always i become an introvert#it’s rare to meet an introvert but then i become stronger and more extroverted around them. like something in me just loves helping others#even though i can’t help myself#what do i pray for? a fellow pathetic person? or someone with the patience and kindness and life knowledge of a saint?#will either of them really be found just by chance in my life?#and even if i do meet someone. truly i wish they’d also be lonely. i want them to need me#i don’t want to be a pity charity case. like a side project for someone with real friends already

every time i'm looking to buy something cheap at the market board i ask myself "what's the most casual server in NA" because more casuals = more crafters = cheaper crafted & crafter related stuff (potentially)
#the casual servers are Faerie Balmung and Mateus btw#has to be a high population server too which completely rules out dynamis#Melding on crafter is literally a fate worse than death#Just watched almost 2m gil evaporate and I'm not even done yet#td plays ffxiv

Part of me is like "I should put more effort into trying to socialise and make friends" and part of me is like "not only am I already so busy I cannot be bothered to go out and pretend to be normal as best I can only for people to be half heartedly interested in me"
#my socialising is worse than ever lately#but i know from periods where i have tried to socialise more#my friendships almost never go beyond casual chit chat#and i have to put so much time and energy into it#i would probably be more willing to socialise more if it didnt full like doing so drains all my energy and motivation

#emily speaks#body image //#i hate when people thinner than me complain about their weight in front of me#like ofc they're allowed to have insecurities about their body and want to lose weight for whatever reason#but saying 'haha im too chubby i need to lose all this fat' when im there in front of you clearly 100+ pounds heavier..... stfu#you can lose weight for you if you want but don't go around talking about how ugly your fatness is to other ppl who are fatter than you#like what are you saying about me then if you think fatness is ugly and i'm way heavier than you#dont say shit like that in a casual conversation how about that. like think before you speak#like if you got glasses would you say 'haha i hate glasses theyre so ugly but i have to wear them now :/' to someone wearing glasses??#im probably doing the best now than i ever have been in terms of positive body image for myself#but people say this shit too often like u are begging me to hate my body :/#its not intentional i know. but that's almost worse. they truly equate being fat with ugly they dont even think about it#but its ok bc im fat and hot so sucks for them 2 be wrong ig

#they speak!#ignore this#my coworker needs to move out and i can't tell if he was mostly joking or completely serious but he asked if i wanted to rent a place w him#and it's so tempting it's. so fucking tempting i want to move out so bad#and especially on days like today where i have to listen to my parents fail to communicate without getting loud and angry#like i feel so awful. i'm 22 and i still have to hide in my room and try not to cry. i can't live like this anymore.#and it feels so hopeless because what else can i do? fuck up my health even more by working more hours?#so i can afford renting a tiny place? when i'm already so unwell and struggling to take care of myself??#and i know i'm not at a place to cut my parents out of my life so i'd have to endure all the judgement they'll have about who i room with#and i know know know no matter who i room with there'll be judgement. because i can't even talk to friends casually without it lol#not to overshare on main but i was omw to work on friday and almost cried at the bus station#because i was thinking about how i never really had an adult in my life that really truly loved and nurtured me#like yeah i had teachers and later in my teens some community members that supported me and were positive influences with positive impacts#and as much as i am hurt by my parents they still very much cared for me and shaped me as a person. both for better and for worse.#and yeah be the adult that is there for yourself now and all that but.#i can never change the fact that there wasn't someone that was there. and i wish i could stop mourning but it's hard. it's so hard.#and one day it will get easier but for now i just have to endure it. i guess. hahaha. :)

My betrothed has talked about the food and body shaming they experience from their dad and I was still wildly unprepared.
#ramblies#the autism is making it exponentially worse because I couldn’t eat the dinner everyone else did#and I can feel the suspicion creeping up in him#really torn on casually admitting to being autistic or playing chicken and making him get closer and closer to saying it#I feel so sad for all his autistic patients because he’s the worst on this subject#almost cried in the bathroom after he wouldn’t shut up about how bizarre my food sensitivities are
