#but they won’t really admit it

[tennessoui]

classic murder mystery au told from the perspectives of Inspectors Mace Windu and Ahsoka Tano who are called in to investigate the murder of Senator Palpatine, who was found dead on the grounds, cause of death: MURDER. The investigation is on to catch the killer hiding amongst an eclectic bunch of visitors to the senator’s country manor for the long weekend. His husband turned widow, young Anakin Skywalker. World famous equestrian Padmé Amidala. Celebrity chef Rex Fett and his brother, soldier Cody Fett. High court judge Bail Organa and business heiress Breha Organa. Count Dooku. The town’s vicar, Obi-Wan Kenobi. The gardener, Qui-Gon Jinn. Mystery novelist Quinlan Vos

Everyone has an airtight alibi. No one really likes each other but it’s clear everyone hates Palpatine and everyone has a reason to want him dead, especially his new and young husband, who stands to inherit all his money. It’s common knowledge that it was not a love match at all. And it’s also common knowledge that it’s Always The Spouse™️.

But when it comes out that the investigators are closing in on the widow Skywalker and are planning to pin the murder on him because his alibi is the shakiest, the vicar cannot stay silent any longer. He must come clean.

Oh, not about the murder. He has no idea about who murdered Palpatine. But it definitely wasn’t Anakin! On the night of the murder, Mr. Skywalker was with Obi-Wan. In the chapel. Yes. At midnight. Alone.

…Praying.

“The Cutest in the World”

Spy doesn’t believe in calling something “The cutest thing ever” because he already knows what the cutest thing in the world is: baby Jeremy. (I did this for a headcannon I have lol, I know it’s mushy but I’m a mushy guy alright?)

(Adam Dudaczyk) The fact that vampires drink blood to get that *meaningful hand-neck gesture* - you made that up? (Andrzej Sapkowski) Yes, I didn't model myself on anyone here, I don't know anyone who wrote before me about the fact that vampires drink blood not to satisfy their hunger, but to satisfy their thirst for… entertainment. Texts: the guys sent me to get blood, I was flying drunk… The fun was great.

as i reread this i couldn't stop thinking of this meme

Unfortunately bc of the thoughts around that post im now on the “we should have a wonder halloween 2” train. Ruikasa event no.3 let’s give it up for no.3. Whatever. Kicks a rock. I think it should have involvement from all of wxs but unfortunately it is undeniable that tsukasa is such a huge catalyst for change over and over again* in rui’s life so if an event about rui realizing it’s ok to love his friends and admit it had to center on one dynamic I think it would have to be tsukasa again. I hate them both. I really do. They make me sick.

* “ruikasa enjoyer 🫵 you’re just biased” Rui accepting and then reaccepting tsukasa’s outstretched hand changed his life and outlook on relationships wrt “I’m incompatible with others” (main story, talked about in pandemonium more). Rui’s realization that he didn’t need to hold back or live in fear of one misstep making him an outcast again was centered around tsukasa (wonder halloween). Rui helping toya bake for the tenmas was because of tsukasa - which he admits in the after show - & tsukasa even comments on it being unusual for Rui to go out of his way to do something like that (nguc). This connection with toya (through tsukasa) is what gets him involved with everyone else in LSH which he mentions being a novel and fun experience (participating in a group setting doing something other than shows). The reason rui’s group approached Rui in pandemonium is because he seemed more sociable and less closed off, which they attribute to tsukasa. Mizuki cites tsukasa as a reason rui seems happier.

Respectfully. I think diminishing the undeniable importance of tsukasa in Rui’s life just because you have an agenda against ruikasa & therefore balk at any discussion of their dynamic (platonic or otherwise) and how much it has impacted Rui is Fucking Weird. TLDR idgaf. go argue with the wall.

idk if this is valid crit or just another “old man yells at clouds” moment but like. i kinda hate how the show got rid of the romantic angle of luke & annabeth’s relationship.

i’m sure people would jump to counter “ew you ship them!!1!” which like. as much as i like a good dark explorational toxic fic, that’s not the particular bias that’s making me think about this.

i think part of it is that they basically stripped the entire dynamic of anything emotional. they told-not-showed their way into “she’s my little sister”, with impossibly little interaction between the two before annabeth’s chucking a knife at him with no hesitation.

but like. in the books, their relationship has so many layers. platonic, familial, and yes, romantic. Annabeth’s feelings for him creates more of a rivalry between luke and Percy. It’s one of the things (including her familial feelings towards him, obv) that makes annabeth hesitant to face against him.

when luke is dying, he and annabeth’s last interaction is a pretty divisive topic in the fandom. it creates yet another layer of “is Luke really a hero or kind of a creep?” you don't have to like it, but at least it sparked interest and conversation.

idk, i think by stripping anything potentially dark or “problematic” from the books, you create a very sanitized world that doesn’t have nearly the same grit as the books, which are still perfectly acceptable to a child audience. like, you’re telling me it’s appropriate for luke to create a child army, but not for annabeth to have a crush on him? they could have written out anything on his end, too, and just left it one-sided with no nuance.

idk, it just feels like another shortcoming from the show, but this isn’t the first time diss knee has sanitized something that could have handled a bit more darker themes 🧍

I know this is an inconsequential thought from an outsider, but I really do think a LOT of the radicalisation in politics, especially this latest US election, could be softened if they recognised a key feature of the democratic election process: your vote should be SECRET. This means nobody gets to demand to know who you voted for legally, but I mean on a cultural level. It’s fucked up that people think of voting as taking a public morality stance, or a part of their personality. Like, actually engaging in politics as a party member is another thing, but your vote?? That’s between you and the ballot, and absolutely nobody else. Watching people be like “I would be ashamed to tell my loved ones that I voted for Harris because she didn’t oppose the war in Gaza” or “who would I be if I didn’t vote Republican/Democratic” like… that should not be a factor in your vote. You should pick what you think is best for your country/whatever group is casting the vote rn, and not think about how it makes you look to your peers. Because that shit is secret. And peer pressuring everyone into loudly proclaiming allegiance introduces a dynamic into that decision that makes everything worse.

Something about me is that if I can’t see a post because I filtered a tag that is in it, I will either scroll or block the account(depends on what tag because some are so problematic). I choose to keep my peace.

Howdy Magogang…Remember when I was a fanfiction writer…hahahaha.

I won’t go into details but the last few months have been some of the hardest months of my life I’ve found myself quite overwhelmed with things piling up but I’ve been doing all I can to get writing done, and I promise you chapter seven is closer than ever. To anyone who still cares- I haven’t forgotten!! I’ve been writing all week actually trying to make this chapter very special and trying to set aside more time for writing it’s not easy being a writer with ADHD omgggg…anyway! The entire chapter is technically done! I just have to add the final “actions” to the dialogue! Here is a sneaky peeky of Midnight Mishaps which will be posted VERY VERY soon

The penalty for naughty roosters who try to jump the fence is that they have to take a mugshot with me! This time it’s Sascha, who was trying to run from Jack when he jumped on top of the run and then made me chase him all around the garage, all while screaming bloody murder. Roosters are so dramatic! Oh well, he’s grown into quite the handsome young man with mighty wattles, although he still has long spindly legs and big pretty brown eyes!

im realizing what’s really bothering me the most about the upcoming kiryu cancer arc (words i never expected to write in total seriousness) isn’t the cancer itself but how kiryu’s response to it (or lack thereof) is straight up suicidal in a way that’s impossible to ignore or deny. like there’s no way around that this time- he can explain in circles about “taking responsibility” and how “retirement’s just not in the cards for me” and whatever else but the fact is he was getting treatment and then he gave up and stopped, resigning to literally fighting til he’s killed or drops dead. because that’s all he thinks he’s useful for at this point and he’s got nothing else to live for. I really don’t wanna be a huge downer or whatever but like god it’s hard for me to enjoy all the fun silly stuff announced for this game when the whole time I know that oh, kiryu’s actively slowly and painfully killing himself and a good number of the people around him having fun doing whatever apparently Know About It and are just. not making a bigger deal of it. sorry kiryu I love you but karaoke isn’t very fun when everybody knows you should seriously be in chemo instead.

One of the things that I LOVE about Shadows Blinding and marks it as one of my favourite fics ever, is the relationship between Sakumo and Kakashi.

Lots of spoilers (obviously)

In most fics, Kakashi’s feelings towards Sakumo aren’t really explored in a complex way. Mostly they go as far as him missing his father, we see his grief and loneliness deepening with each lose of a loved one over the years, until as an adult he heals and grows to understand his father’s decision and forgiving him. Which is completely okay! I love those fics, I love the progress as we see Kakashi healing over time. But most that I’ve seen don’t usually dwell into Sakumo’s suicide that much and the heavy impact it would have on a child at that age, that would later follow them to adulthood. Choosing instead to focus on the impact either team Minato or team 7 had on his life (which, fair, it is A LOT, but you get my point).

In Pesto’s (author) interpretation, things go a bit differently: Kakashi does miss his father, but at the same time he still deeply resents him for what he did, just like he did when he was a kid and trying to not be like his father. Except he hasn’t exactly grown out of this bitterness. For scarring him for life and leaving him alone at such a young age; for sending him to what’s essentially a cult, leaving him trapped with a family he’s not familiar with; for leaving such a deep mark, that even if he tries to escape him and the clan, they’re in every little part of his life. Such as his most signature quality, his mask, only existing because Kakashi reminded Sakumo of his brother. He hates all of this.

This Kakashi never healed from what happened, so caught up in all the deaths happening around him that he never really had time to even process it. He doesn’t even allow himself to miss his father because of all this resentment, and that’s not something that just goes away. This is why I love his relationship with Kosuke, the way Kakashi wishes he’d allowed himself to miss his father despite what he did like Kosuke does. (OH AND THAT SCENE THEY HAD AT THE END. KOSUKE MISSING KAKASHI IN SPITE OF THAT HE DID, LIKE HE MISSES HIS FATHER 😭😭😭😭😭 OUGHH IT’S SO SADD ❤️‍🩹🥀⛓️🚬🐺)

That sense of hate is engraved in him, and it is amplified by the fact that Sakumo giving him that seal essentially made him loose everything he’s known and loved once again. His whole world is destroyed, the people he loved have forgotten about him (also they are dead) (and let’s not even mention Obito). All this time he’s had his team as a source of light at the end of the tunnel, something to fight for. But he’s lost that, and with his clan that’s basically a cult and that wrinkly bitch Nana running around ruining everything, he really has nowhere to go. That one split-second decision, even if done in good faith, ruined his life.

«Tou-san fucked up» indeed (or however the quote went I don’t wanna look it up)

YOOO THAT’S WHY THE SEQUEL’S GONNA BE FIREE 🔥 🔥🔥🔥 Kakashi expecting to come back to a wasteland and being prepared to start digging graves for his dead friends (everyone bro) and instead finding an alternate-timeline Sakumo. We’re getting that deeply awkward and uncomfortable father-son bonding YEAHH 💪💪

Oh and don’t even get me started on this new timeline bro. How baby Ino appearing in the epilogue implies that this is at a point in time shortly after what would’ve been the Kyubi attack (we don’t know how Kannabi went so idk if it even happened) Rin and Obito would be around 14, 16 max. And Minato and Kushina would be around 22-24. Kakashi here is like 30, he is NOT getting his team back. And that’s without counting that with Kakashi dying by birth on this universe, there would be another kid in his place. Knowing that no other kid their age was jounin at the time, they might’ve not even been assigned for the Kannabi Bridge mission or at least done it with Minato, which already elevates their chances of survival.

He might not even get to meet team 7 personally. They’re babies rn and he’s a complete stranger to the village, a stranger on Kage level might I add (I don’t think it’s too far fetched to say that, he’s VERY powerful now, and he did become the sixth hokage without this power-up so 🤷‍♂️). They’re NOT letting him near the babies bro ❌😿

He’s alone with his father (whom he kind of hates and doesn’t know) in a world that doesn’t know him AT ALL. We have all the time in the world for group therapy, Kakashi’s gonna be demanding ANSWERS. Or maybe he’ll say “fuck this” and become a kind-of-missing-nin-but-not-really-bc-he’s-not-from-THIS-Konoha that stalks the village to make sure his loved ones don’t die this time. Yeah, I could see that happening tbh.

Idk I’m just ranting, this is gonna be messy and I’ll love every second of it 💞
