the smoke was dense and thick, making it almost impossible to see within five feet. the smell of sulfur and concrete filled the nostrils of the ‘new avengers’.
new york has seen yet another attack, this time by another outer space alien thingy that bucky couldn’t remember.
there’s a dreadful silence between the group, all stuck in their own minds, trying to figure out just what went wrong. how they got defeated so quickly.
he stood with his hands on his hips, trying to regain his breath after being slammed into a plethora of floors from one of the skyscrapers.
ava hunched over holding her midsection while also trying to catch her breath. yelena, leaning against a fallen slab of a building while clenching her arm. walker, somewhere else, blowing off steam as his shield was snapped in half, and alexei going on some sort of rant.
“it’s fine, this is fine” the broody older man speaks, his thick accent grating against buckys ears. “everybody get up!” the red guardian claps, trying to pump up the group. “we are the thunderbolts!!!”
yelena rolls her eyes, keeping a hand pressed on her arm, “dad, stop”. she looks at the man with sharp eyes. they say optimism is good to have on a team, but alexei had too much. it often got annoying.
turning a corner, walker, stuffing something in his suit pocket, looks to the others. “we’ve been compromised.”
ava stands, crossing her arms. “what?” she looks between bucky and yelena, who have the same look on their face. it isn’t dread, it isn’t worry, it’s something much worse.
alexei mutters some swear words in russian under his breath. and for a moment, no one knows what to do. they aren’t a team, they have no backup, and bucky knows that sam won’t help him.
yet again, he’s alone.
“well, what now?” ava asks, her attention trained on the white widow. “ah!” alexei holds up his fingers, then snaps, carrying a proud look on his face. “a safe house!”
everyone pauses, stealing glances at each other with a blank expression. clearly growing tired of the red guardians persona. “oh, you’ve got to be kidding me..” ava exasperates, before taking a few steps away from the group.
bucky contemplates for a moment, hes staring off at the gray rubble beneath his black boots. he only had a handful of options, one of those being sam. as he was not on the best terms with sam, he figured his last option would suffice. you.
“i know a place.”
the sun was just rising, its misty rays barely peeking through the thick fog. the air was cool and damp, the ground beneath covered with an early morning dew. a cabin tucked away amidst the trees stood silent and still, as if waiting to welcome the day.
the trees surrounding the cabin were barely visible through the dense fog, their leaves shimmering with dewdrops like tiny jewels on their green surfaces. the air was silent, save for the soft sound of the nearby river.
stepping off the quinjet, bucky stopped at the edge of the ramp, looking at his home he shared with you. he felt happy to be back home, but a part of him dreaded the following events.
bucky knew he was risking everything by bringing the others to his home, to you. someone who bucky made sure to keep hidden from everyone. he didn’t do it because he was ashamed or didn’t love you, but he did it because he loved you so much. it was better to keep you off file and off record, for your safety.
if anything happened to you, bucky would’ve surely lost his mind.
“why the hell are we at a cabin, bucky?” walker quips, following the other super soldier. “we can’t go on vacation now.”
“shut up, walker,” bucky snaps, shooting a glaring look over his shoulder as he waits for the rest of the others to fall in behind him. “what are we doing here? we clearly need a safe house,” yelena chimes in, ava and alexei adding something under their breaths.
bucky can already feel himself getting agitated with the anti-heroes. it’s hard enough working with people that collectively cannot get along, it was doomed from the veining. “it’s safe, just trust me.”
crossing the threshold of the dark oak cabin, the scent of fresh laundry mixed with mahogany, vanilla, and cashmere filled his nostrils, and in an instant, the tension in his shoulders dropped.
home. the living room was cleaned, and a few blankets on the leather sofa. you must've napped. a few records scattered around the record table, one still on the turntable, but the record had stopped playing long ago.
“baby? i’m home!” he calls out, not seeing any sign of your presence as he steps into the living room. it’s quiet, almost too quiet. bucky steps further in. “baby doll?”
the team steps in hesitantly, their hands hovering over whatever they have to defend themselves with. sharing puzzled glances with each other as bucky calls out to you.
you emerge from the stairway with a laundry basket on your hip. a quiet gasp gets caught in your throat as your eyes look past your boyfriend and see his co-workers. “what the..” you mutter, your eyes finally landing on bucky. “bucky?”
“we had nowhere else to go,” he explains, the wear and tear of fighting visible on his body. his eyes hold even more exhaustion than he let on.
you drop the laundry basket on the sofa and approach him, he hopes his arms and pulls you in, pressing a kiss on the top of your head.
yelena interrupts, “Im sorry..” the blonde holds out her hands, nose crunching with confusion. “what the hell is happening here?”
“yeah..what the hell is this?” walker stands behind yelena, his arms crossed now.
“guys, meet my girlfriend, y/n,” he introduced, holding you by his side. his thumb rubbing up and down your shoulders.
“hi..” you smile, holding up your hand to wave awkwardly. your freehand wrapping around buckys midsection.
the team is left speechless, all mouths are open, but no words are formed.
“girlfriend?!” yelena is flabbergasted, her eyes almost popping out of her head.
“oh! this is wonderful!! alexei is pushing past the other three, walking towards you with a big, dopey smile. “young love!” he cheered, clapping loudly.
you laugh awkwardly, again, because what do you do when the avengers are standing in your house?
“buck?” you look up at him, he had a less than amused look on his face.
“we just need some place to lay low, get patched up. i didn’t know what else to do.”
“ah, okay,” you pat his chest playfully, an amused laugh coming from you. “i can help with that.”
“girlfriend…” walker whispers as you begin leading the group downstairs to a makeshift med bay.
“shut it, walker!” buckys voice booms from a few feet ahead.

something about you. - pedro pascal.
requested! thank you. ♡ content: casual relationship, light academia vibes, passionate!reader, history rant, Pedro is very whipped, soft intimacy, admiration, emotional fluff, low-key love confessions with no one saying “I love you” yet
---
You don’t even realize you’re doing it at first.
One second you’re talking about a random podcast you listened to—something about Greek drama and how it shaped modern storytelling—and the next, you’re off the couch and pacing, your eyes gleaming with excitement like this is the most important thing anyone’s ever discussed.
“And people still act like tragic structure is some modern thing. Euripides was out here writing full-blown psychological thrillers before Jesus was even born,” you’re saying, hands flailing, voice rising. “And don’t even get me started on how Medea was right, because she was—”
Pedro doesn’t say a word.
He’s just sitting on the couch with a half-drunk mug in his hand, staring at you like you just hung the moon. His whole body is tilted slightly toward you. His expression soft, caught somewhere between awe and infatuation.
Not in a look how cute she is when she’s excited way. In a this woman is a goddess and I’m doomed kind of way.
You pause, a little breathless. “Sorry. I’m spiraling.”
He shakes his head slowly, eyes never leaving your face. “Don’t,” he murmurs. “Seriously. I could watch you talk about this forever.”
You roll your eyes with a smile, your cheeks warm. “Wait ‘til I start on the French Revolution. I get even worse.”
Pedro laughs and sets the mug down, moving toward you. Not all at once—he’s slow about it. Careful, like he doesn’t want to break the moment. One hand finds your thigh, the other rests along the back of the couch behind you.
“You light up,” he says, voice soft and low. “It’s insane. Like I swear everything else disappears when you talk like that.”
You blink, heart stuttering a little. “You’re being weird.”
He grins. “I’m being honest.”
The silence that follows isn’t awkward. It’s charged, humming. You can feel it in the air between you, in the heat of his palm, in the way his eyes drop to your mouth and hover.
You nudge his leg with your knee and laugh. “You’re obsessed with me.”
Pedro leans in a little, just enough to make you dizzy.
“Yeah,” he breathes. “That’s kinda your fault.”
And then he kisses you.
Not soft. Not hesitant.
It’s heat and hunger and something that’s been building for weeks, maybe months, all poured into the press of his mouth against yours. His hand curls around your jaw, pulling you in deeper like he can’t get close enough. You gasp—just a little—and he takes that as invitation, groaning into the kiss like he’s losing control.
You sink into it, every thought gone but him.

𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬
a/n. ignore any spelling mistakes. my brain is fried today <33
He’s so incredibly sweet and gentle, and whenever he’s around you, his eyes get a little softer and his drawl becomes slower. He listens intently when you talk, no matter what you're saying, his eyes locked on your face, head tilted slightly. You could be telling a story or complaining about something tiny, and he’d always listen.
He’s so the type to tuck your hair back mid-conversation if it falls in your face or to kiss you on the head when you’re doing something mundane around the house. Just little domestic things that are so much sweeter than they seem
He’s constantly singing or humming to himself, and more often than not, you’ll catch him humming little melodies while he’s doing something. You never bring it up or comment on it, afraid he’ll stop if you do, but you’ll always stop and listen.
Mornings with him are nothing short of lazy, all soft sweaters, sleepy smiles, and lazy conversation. He’ll get up to make you coffee and breakfast before slipping back into bed with you so you can both enjoy a few moments of peace before facing the chaos of his career.
Date nights tend to consist of watching movies—sometimes it’s movie marathons, other times it’s just crappy films with no true plot. Either way, it's your guys’ thing and is almost always followed up with long discussions about actors and actresses as the credits roll.
If you fall asleep on his shoulder mid-movie, he won't wake you up. He’ll simply pull you close and continue watching like it’s nothing before carrying you off to bed.
Austin is incredibly calm and composed most of the time, maintaining a polite front, but if someone were to overstep the line, he’s got no problem stepping up for you. He’ll set things straight, his tone firm, and it becomes clear very quickly who not to mess with.
He’s always checking on you, especially if you’re both at a big event, just to make sure you’re not overwhelmed. “You okay, baby?” with a hand resting on your lower back.
He won’t ever post your relationship tones online, maybe the odd photo here or there, and he never rants about you endlessly in interviews. You’re a part of his private life, and he likes to keep it that way. However, you are his phone wallpaper, and he’s always taking little candid shots of you without you realising.
Some nights, the two of you will stay up until the early hours of the morning, talking about anything and everything. Sometimes the conversations get deep; sometimes they’re about as irrelevant as any conversation can be. He just loves hearing you talk.
During arguments, he tries to remain patient, never raising his voice at you. Some arguments are quiet and measured but just as emotional and tense. If you were to hit a nerve, he’ll turn serious quickly, and his words cut just as deep as they would if he were to scream.
He won’t ever explode during at; he'll simply just walk away to give you both air, only coming back once the tension has eased and he doesn’t feel like he’s going to implode at any given moment.
Makeups are incredibly soft and honest. He’s a firm believer of not going to bed angry, and any disagreement will be sorted a few hours after, at most.
He’ll hold your face in his hands, mumbling apologies and peppering your skin with feather-light kisses.
When it comes to PDA, he tries to keep things low-key, especially in public with paparazzi swarming about like flies. Hands brushing, holding you by the waist, rubbing your knuckles with his thumb.
One of his favourite things to do is rest his hand on the back of your neck. It’s both a grounding and protective thing, a way to reassure himself that he knows where you are.
He tends to kiss you regardless of whether there are cameras around or not; little pecks to the forehead, hands, and cheeks. He doesn’t care. It isn’t about showing off; it's about making sure you know he loves you.

I don’t think this is the first time someone has mentioned this TGWDLM production here but I want to because it’s my favourite production aside from the og
sound quality isn’t the BEST since it’s a bit hard to hear the actors when they’re facing away but other than that it’s fine
I’d suggest just watching it but I want to rant about it so here’s some of my favourite bits (spoiler alert it’s like the whole thing)
The guy who plays Jeff’s characters absolutely KILLED it, encapsulated his energy so well
The girl who plays Mariah’s characters is a very good singer even if it’s a bit hard to hear her at times
Pete has a little propeller hat and it takes me out every time I see it
Jeff’s coffee shop guy (Barry Swift I guess?) is some sort of influencer or something, he tipped Emma and then went all the way to the other side of the stage to record her singing, he returned again during Cup Of Roasted Coffee
I love the music that plays for the news broadcasts, Clivesdales’ is hilarious
Homeless man was peak during LDDDD, he did the voice and the hand movements and everything
He also jumped over Paul at one point
And he ended the number by jumping into Paul’s arms
The person playing Corey’s LDDDD character kept shoving Paul when they were doing that clapping part
Physical comedy during What Do You Want Paul? was great, the chair with wheels and Paul getting dragged across the stage was an excellent addition
Throughout act 1 Bill would cling onto the closest person to him whenever the infected were around
Show Me Your Hands in general was amazing if you don’t watch the whole musical I highly suggest watching this bit because I can’t even explain the absolute chaos
Paul, Emma, Bill, Ted, and Charlotte were constantly trying and failing to get away the entire song
Instead of Ted saying “My ID’s in my back pocket” Bill says “I have a daughter”
At one point Bill jumps on Ted’s back and starts clawing at Doug like a cat
Paul’s actor trips on the trash cans at the end of the song, I don’t think that was intentional but it happened
Sam’s hat didn’t come off when Ted hit him with the trashcan lid so Ted just quickly takes hit hat off
Charlotte was so aggressive when she was worried about Sam’s brains, she was pointing the gun around at people until Emma started talking to her
While Paul and Emma are talking after the “kick your head” argument, Bill goes up to Ted and they talk until Join Us And Die
During this bit, Bill also fixed Ted’s tie
When Charlotte and Sam came back Bill immediately jumped onto Ted
Charlotte did the Wicked riff after Join Us And Die
During the “why does it hurt to love you” part of Not Your Seed, Alice and Bill stood face to face, it hurt
McNamara’s watch was bright red
Before Show Stoppin Number, Hidgens would get really close to Emma’s face and yell every time he said her name
He was absolutely unhinged during that monologue
Ted wasn’t even scared at first he was just annoyed
He also didn’t start actually enjoying the song in any capacity until Workin Boys
They kept most of the Workin Boys choreo the same
Jeff’s Workin Boy grabbed Emma instead of Paul, the only reason Ted got the gun was because Paul threw it at him for some reason lmao
Said gun proceeded to be taken by McNamara and given to a random PEIP member
In the Starlight Theatre, all of the infected emerged from behind the meteor to confront Paul
I mentioned this earlier but the Clivesdale News intro fucking killed me the first time I heard it
They kept the bit where Emma stays in character for the bows, they also forcefully had her bow with them as she was screaming
#Youtube#Wow I wrote this out for like an hour because I was simultaneously rewatching the whole production#Lis needs to shut up#< x2#starkid#tgwdlm#the guy who didn't like musicals#Verrazzano media#paul matthews#emma perkins#bill woodward#ted spankoffski#charlotte sweetly#professor henry hidgens

Bestie never misses with the rants but it is so deserved because literally what the FUCK was Breaking Dawn…
Every single thing that made Bella a character was completely stripped away at the end. She gets turned and then is immediately rewarded for it too, despite the entire story alluding to this being a terrible and horrific thing that she would go through by being uncontrollable and literally feral trying to slaughter humans. And then she gets turned and just like. Is completely fine and easily controls it like the shittiest Mary sue character ever.
And like, the entire story Jacob is represented as life and warmth and happiness and clarity meanwhile Edward is compared to a drug, addiction, death, suicide etc…. And Smeyer went with the death option LMFAOOO
Which would be fine…. If Twilight had been a psychological twisted romance horror… but that isn’t what Stephenie Meyer wrote it to be. She did not intend for her story to come across as a teenage version of that Nosferatu remake lol but it literally is exactly that… 😭😭😭😭
Bella is put under thrall/hypnosis by Edward who straight up tells her that he does this to humans and then she eventually kills herself and dies over their fucked up relationship. Meanwhile her actual soulmate Jacob (which the book literally SAYS he is her soulmate) has to watch her kill herself while doing everything he can to try and stop the inevitable. It’s literally exactly like Nosferatu LMFAO it’s just not as sexually graphic or whatever
And like this would all be fine but Edward and Bella are just disgusting as a couple and I don’t dislike toxicity but they aren’t even hot. It’s just giving Mormon repression. And all of it is at the expense of the native characters which pisses me off even more.
Smeyers writing contradicts itself constantly. She tried to write a romance and wrote a fucked up horror story completely unintentionally lol. Her writing is constantly at odds with itself bc she literally didn’t know wtf she was doing 😭 she was genuinely too stupid to understand the themes of her own story I’m so serious

“Twilight is about female voyeuristic self-love” no actually, Twilight is about the author’s Mormonism
It has an extremely glaring pro life plotline, it’s classist, it’s racist, it’s anti sex before marriage so much so that Edward doesn’t even open mouth kiss Bella the entire time they date, and the idea of marriage and having a baby at 18 years old is depicted as the ultimate reward and happily ever after for the female MC lol

me when Lance and Keith’s connections with the blue and red lions gives them a BOND *wink* *wink* that connects to their growth as characters. me when Lance and Keith’s discovery of the blue lion mirror Keith’s parents. me when Keith’s initial closed off persona opened up after meeting Lance and lances initial need to be a great pilot like Keith grew into a talent of supporting his crew (including Keith) and developing a role in which he can support the team without trying to one up someone else’s talent (sharpshooter instead of pilot), which set both of them up for their roles as the leader and his right hand man.
SO. Let’s start at the beginning. Lance, in attempting to find the glory he’s been failing to achieve, directly piggybacks on Keith’s plan in order to save Shiro because he could not come up with a plan of his own. These characterizations allude to the fact that…
1. Lance is incompetent in everything he’s tried up to this point. His dreams of being a legendary fighter pilot are crumbling around him because he simply is not naturally talented in flying planes. Of course, he could practice and work hard to improve, which he does later in the series (which we’ll talk about later), but after he became a cargo pilot, he decided he had nothing to offer. Consequently, he began to put up an overconfident front, really the only thing he excelled in. Confidence. Even though he had achieved fighter class, his overcompensating confidence prevented him from making sound decisions and overall improving as a pilot. Lance doesn’t trust himself to make decisions in a situation as important as saving his hero, so he used Keith’s already established plan to involve himself as a savior of his hero.
2. According to Iverson, the only major authoritative figure in lances life at this point, Lance is only a fighter pilot because Keith, the best pilot, had a discipline issue. Lance knows Keith as an amazing pilot that got him where he wanted to be. While Lance would rather do anything but have to work with Keith to achieve the glory he so desperately desires, he knows that since Keith is not loved by the garrison, so Lance can take more credit for the rescue. In lances mind, he got him where he wanted once, he can do it again.
Later, we learn about Keith’s investigation of the blue lion. He’s been trying to find this thing for ages and you know who magically reveals clues Keith has never been able to access before? LANCE. He enters Keith’s life and changes EVERYTHING. Keith’s search for the blue lion gave him a sense of purpose after losing Shiro and the garrison. Just before Shiro returned he sort of hit rock bottom in terms of that investigation. When lances connection to the blue lion guided the paladins to the blue lion, Lance helped Keith discover something new, something he had never seen before. Keith had been living the past few months or even years without doing anything meaningful or developing any meaningful relationships with people his age or discovering anything new. Lance brought a spark into his life, allowing him to use his talents to explore the stretches of space and help others. Yes, the other paladins were there when they found the blue lion, but no one was as connected as Lance and Keith to each other and the blue lion. Pidge and Shiro were more involved with investigating/informing others about the galra, not the lions. Hunk did absolutely nothing (ironic considering his character was never developed in the show to the extent of the others and was fairly useless to the team, unfortunately - he deserved better). If I remember correctly, it was Allura who said that the connection Keith felt to the blue lion was present in order to bring the paladins together, or rather Lance to his lion. Quite literally, the magical connection from keith and Lance to the blue lion (an exact match to lances personality at the time) helped both of them to discover themselves and live happier lives that ultimately brought the team and sort of the universe together???
When Lance became the paladin of the red lion and keith became the paladin of the black lion, their official roles within the team accurately matched the personalities and unofficial roles that they had finally gained through their character development. Lances early journey centered around learning he didn’t have to be the best pilot in the galaxy, but instead could be a pretty good gunman and a major support pillar for the team emotionally and tactically. The journey mirrored his transition from the “confident and friendly” blue lion to the “instinctual and fiery” red lion. The blue lion, said by the dreamworks team to be the lion most accepting of its pilots, typically paladins who it/she see potential in and intend to nurture towards growth. While the red lions descriptions don’t necessarily match lances personality because the descriptions were written to match Keith, its paladin must earn the respect of the red lion in order to pilot it/her. Once he becomes the paladin of the blue lion, the confidence Lance had been parading about became more rooted in his actual skills as he finds himself useful to the team with his sharpshooting abilities. By the time he takes up the mantle of the red paladin, Lance has matured in personality and skill, allowing him to act on instinct and match the role of Keith’s right hand man (HIS INVISIBLE RIVALRY TURNED INTO ADMIRATION AND LOVE). His acts for the team and universe have proved him worthy to be the red paladin.
Keith’s struggle with accepting his new role as the black paladin was displayed much more overtly in the show. Scared of losing Shiro again and feeling unready to lead a team after a life of isolation and struggle with people, Keith was extremely skeptical about becoming the black paladin. His journey focused on learning to work with as well as lead others and develop meaningful connections with his teammates. While keith piloted the red lion, he didn’t need to work with anyone because of the sheer talent him and his lion exhibited in combat and flight. However, Shiro’s guidance in forming relationships with his teammates helped him to use his strengths to boost the team. When he became the black paladin, keith had to officially adopt the role he had unofficially grown into through the bonds he made with the paladins and the tactical knowledge he used to guide the team. The “unstable” red paladin of the beginning of the show accepted and understood the importance of adopting a major leadership position, despite his own insecurities and fears.
Lance and Keith’s shared connection to the blue and red lions, their connection to shiro, and their willingness to reveal their deepest values and emotions to each other have established them as having one of the most powerfully bonded relationships in the series. Lance and Keith have been through a lot, but despite it all, they have always been devastatingly, meaningfully, and compassionately intertwined, to the deepest internal themes of their characters and storylines.

I think the thing I am looking forward to MOST with Helluva Boss is when it’s Stolas’s turn to deal with his issues and we get the Stolas equivalent of a Blitzø Sucks party and all the ”But Stolas did bad things too! And he’s the worst for not acknowledging that” come to the realization that “Oh…they were getting to that bit of the ongoing story that is currently in progress and is nowhere near done and maybe if I had just waited and given them the benefit of the doubt I would have seen all the clues and indicators they dropped that this would be an upcoming character storyline. Looking back it was actually very obvious they had not just forgotten and brushed over it to make Stolas “look good””
But then of course we’ll still get the “HA, VivziePop must have seen how mad we got and added that in just to make Stolas look better and justify this dysfunctional relationship between *checks notes* an isolated Demon Prince and a traumatized Hell Born Imp In Literal Hell”
So maybe I’m not looking forward to it.
#stolitz#helluva boss#cries in *we still have 3 episodes to go*#it’s only season 2#we’re not even halfway done#I know you are used to bingeing but this is how serialized fiction works#we don’t neatly resolve everything in one 17-20 minute episode#do you want long rant essays from me?#because this is how you get long rant essays#just elderly Steffie in her nightie yelling on the lawn about how Stolas’s repression doesn’t only include sexuality#but social and cultural issues as well#he’s naive about literally everything#ITS KIND OF HIS WHOLE DEAL#if you want to hate him go off#but stop acting like the narrative isn’t also addressing his issues

I need y’all to focus on the reason the shooting happened over making memes about everything for once in your lives.
#dex rants#uhc shooter#uhc ceo#luigi mangione#please for the love of god stop turning everything into a pointless joke#I laughed at a few memes and then it became a flood and now I’m seeing fanfics#you can’t be serious#hahahhaa yeah lets just ignore the system that made this happen and the people it’s been killing way beforehand#joking isn’t bad but I can see this already becoming the focus of the issue rather than uhc’s use of ai and denying health care to dying-#patients#I’m glad that ceo is dead and I’m glad some of these insurance companies are now scared#but this is going to distract from that and soon they’ll regain their confidence and act like they did before#one action isn’t permanent it’s the outcome and repetition that keep the ideas alive#you haven’t won don’t go doing a victory lap now#the turtle will catch up and make a fool of you

“It’s all Polites’ fault” last time I checked Odysseus is the captain and should have known better than to just straight up let his crew and or himself kill the sheep without looking around that cave better to see if they actually belonged to anyone.
It’s not Polites’ fault that Odysseus reveals himself to the cyclops.
It’s not Polites’ fault that the cyclops chose violence (before y’all say anything yes the cyclops is rightfully pissed off but still it’s not Polites’ fault that he refused the deal and attacked them). Also y’all seem to forget that he helped in the fight against the cyclops, meaning he is most likely not open arms 24/7.
It’s not Polites’ fault that Odysseus and Eurylochus both kept making mistakes along the journey (like Odysseus more so explaining himself than apologizing and Eurylochus opening the bag or Odysseus sacrificing six men, etc).
While I do understand that Polites might not be a favorite of someone’s because his personality isn’t for anyone, I still don’t see why y’all blame him for everything. All he does is try to show Odysseus that they don’t always have to resort to violence. They don’t always have to have their guards up.
You say he’s stupid for this belief because he’s been at war for 10 years, yet you never stop to actually think that perhaps he’s just really tired of the bloodshed or that he was simply trying to cheer up his friend. This might be a shocker to some of y’all but you can be a warrior and still have a positive attitude and be optimistic.
Y’all will do everything except actually hold Odysseus accountable for his own faults.
#ranting#sorry for so many rants#I blame TikTok for the sudden Polites hate ngl#btw this isn’t me trying to force you to like a character I honestly don’t give a shit if you hate him but#I do find y’all blaming him for everything annoying#I might delete this later cause I just woke up and I’m not trying to start anything#just state what my brain thinks#honestly I just think y’all hate whimsy ngl

y’all expecting us to spoon-feed you content but not bothering to interact with us on a human-level is a big reason why your faves don’t hang out here anymore just sayin
#; ophie speaks#i swear people in fandom just get more and more entitled#‘nO tAgS?? nO wArNiNgS?’ on a two-paragraph piece that doesn’t even contain any dark content pub-lease#you don’t have to comment on every little thing that doesn’t appease to you!!#not everything is catered to you babes!! idk what to tell you!!#obviously if it were noncon or dubcon i would tag it#obviously if it had any dark content i would tag it#but because there’s no tags that implies everything is consensual and fine#and tbh if you’re getting THAT triggered by two paragraphs that don’t contain dark content#maybe you just need to take a break from the internet#there used to just be straight un-tagged dark content on here#like you would get 2k into a fic and then it’ll throw at you ‘oh btw you’re related and want to fuck’ and you’d just be sat there like#‘WHERE DID THIS FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC BULLSHIT COME FROM??’#fandom used to be an escape but now it’s just all AI and people just caring about content#i am just Tired#but this rant means nothing because it’s just going to go into an abyss just like every other thing that isn’t content in fandoms

Someone should invent parents that don’t fight 24/7 because I’m sick of having to constantly live on a minefield
#and every choice I make feels like they’re making me choose sides#so I just don’t talk to anyone except for when it would make them less mad#oh my god I’m a child why am I always the one who has to figure out a way to keep the peace#the constant attentiveness to their actions and emotions and words is honestly really tiring#I’m so tired of having to weigh the pros and cons of asking for anything from any of them or talking or hell even existing at this point#I’m sick of having to drop everything and stop anything and everything I’m doing that I even somewhat enjoy just to be available to#react and respond to their every request or action or word they say#and only being able to do or say anything if they want me to just to avoid making everything worse and making them even angrier at me#or at each other#I’m not your mediator or your diplomat or whatever why am I always the one responsible for your fights and being polite and nice to everyone#when all you do is act all passive aggressive and honestly you’re not fooling anyone you know that?#why is your child suddenly the one in charge of keeping the street from being blown up by your stupidity#I can’t do this anymore#I really can’t do this anymore#and there’s not even anyone I can complain about this to because my friend will just roll her eyes and ignore anything I send that isn’t fun#sorry for the rant and wow if you’ve actually read this far#this ended up being a lot longer than I thought it would be haha#parents fighting#rant#vent

Attire mission: Purchase premium attire to get an extended romantic story!
Me: *on Liam's route* Romantic my ass! This is a tragedy
#THEY KEEP GETTING SADDER!#also apparently by definition romances need to have a happy ending#so if the main couple isn’t together by the end and/or it's sad then it's a tragedy#ikedevs weren't fucking around when the first play I went to with Liam was Romeo and Juilet!#which is a very famous tragedy!#and Don Quixote is about a delusional man trying to be the main character of his idealized story#or something like that I feel like there's some symbolism in that#and in the Hunchback of Notre Dame it was already obvious in the route how it fits in but Esmerelda dies at the end#and Quasimodo cried until he died#I don’t know shit about Wuthering Heights but considering everything else it might have some meaning there too#I had thought the devs weren't paying attention to contents of the books/plays they were picking#when first hearing them bring up Don Quixote and Romeo and Juliet but now I'm thinking it was very much on purpose#and I just hadn't know what story I was signing up for#I thought it was going to be yandere or corruption arc#I didn’t realize the dark part was tragedy!#so anyway I'm good now#and yeah it was chapter 14 I just finished#ikevil#ikemen villains#liam evans#ikevil liam#ikevil spoilers#rant

#I’ve been non stop busy the past few months I haven’t really had time to think or feel#I’ve had a few days or not working and just slowing down I feel like everything is hitting me and all I want to do is cry#I feel like everything I want just isn’t for me and I’m so so tired I just want to lay down and disappear#I lost a close friend and I know I won’t be able to trust her again but she really was the person I talked to who actually understood#everything and made me feel less lonely#I feel like I’m constantly having to protect myself and my feelings and that itself is tiring#idk I’m ranting because I need to let it out

Maybe I did this to myself but it does irk me when people see me knitting and they ask who it’s for and I say it’s for me and the immediate reaction is “you should sell it” yeah… let me spend at least a week’s worth of my free time making an item I like, want, and would wear just to sell it on etsy, making at most a £2 profit on materials and not being compensated for my time whatsoever 👍🏻
#i say maybe i did this to myself because historically i have gifted most of the items i have knitted#because the venn diagram of things i like to knit vs things i like to wear is actually 2 circles that don’t touch#i looove making hats. i HATE wearing hats#also i love making baby clothes but i don’t have a baby and i’m not going to have a baby#however lately i’ve gotten really into knitting socks and i really like to wear knit socks. it’s like the most affordable way for me to get#quality wool socks. and i’m going to be watching my shows anyway. the time will pass anyways#but it feels like people are deliberately making me feel weird for wanting to make stuff for myself and not profit off my hobby#and like i’ve made 3 pairs of socks to gift already because ‘tis the season or whatever. and i’ve started another pair for a friend whose#birthday is in january#genuinely it’s very weird to hear ‘you should sell it’ or ‘oh i want one!!’ about an item i’m making for myself. after 18 years of gifting#or donating basically everything i’ve ever knitted. like i’ve gifted 2 double bed size crochet blankets#everyone i’ve known who’s had a baby has gotten a cardigan or a blanket or hats or all of the above#i spent october making poppies for the church. i’ve never even stepped foot in my village church mind you. my neighbour asked me to help#do you know what i own? that i’ve knitted? a pair of mittens and a pair of socks.#you want some socks from me? alright. that’s anywhere between £6 and £10 for the yarn and that’s optimistic#i’m currently making myself a pair with hand-dyed yarn that cost me £18 including delivery#the needles i use cost me more than £10. time… let’s call it 24 hours per sock#i don’t know anyone with 18 years experience who makes minimum wage so let’s call it an even 600 for my time. tbh#DO YOU SEE how this isn’t a viable side hussle??? i physically cannot charge what my socks are worth#if i like you and you’re willing to wait; socks are free or cost whatever the yarn costs#if i don’t like or know you venmo me £620. and you’re still going to have to wait.#just pisses me OFF when people suggest i make an etsy page and they say it like they’re doing me a favour or giving me great financial#advice. like you’ve seen me sitting here all evening and i’m barely done with the cuff.. do you actually think selling these for £20 maximum#is going to help me out. i’m not selling them. they’re FOR me. i’m making them because i want them#also when my friend’s family was saying this to me and i was like ‘well the yarn cost a fiver’ and they got quiet and i was thinking yeah…#a fiver is the maximum you cheapskates would pay isn’t it. a fiver is cheap sock yarn bought on sale. or yarn that probably isn’t actually#good for socks. like don’t presume to give me financial advice when you’re this out of touch with the market please#next person who asks when i’m going to start selling socks is getting this whole rant in entirety tbh i don’t care anymore#personal#edited to add that i didn’t even get into etsy fees or whether i would even be noticed among the mountain of dropshippers LOL

Remind me not to post fics around my night shifts thinking I could use the pick-me-up; I am clearly way too touchy when I am sleep deprived. While I am trying to take things in the (hopefully) meant-to-be-helpful spirit of things, it is currently just not working because my mood is so low as to need a magnifying lense to be seen.
#chatter#personal rant#When people try to be helpful#it would be nice if they at least commented on the fic#gonna take a nap now#because I got in to work another night shift today#coworker asked me how I was doing#and I kinda burst into tears#so they sent me to bed#there isn’t anything to do currently#but it still feels like a personal failing#not being able to go into work and be ready for it#just to clarify#this has nothing to with the helpful comments#and everything to do with#practically getting no sleep on my last night shift#and just generally bordering depression when I am forced to be awake after midnight

Gonna make a list of queer characters that don’t outright state their queerness because a certain group of people complaining about the handling of a certain character’s arc from a certain game is pissing me off
“They didn’t make her say she was trans so that means that they’re giving us a ‘fuck you’/we need confirmation or it isn’t valid and transphobes will be transphobic/they’re queerbaiting!”
Shut the fuck up
The fact that we’re even at this point is a miracle in itself and needing every character to explicitly say their orientation and/or gender identity shows how ignorant you are, not just regarding media literacy, but also on queer history
By your myopic lens you’re discrediting a lot of queer characters that didn’t and/or couldn’t outright say that they’re queer
Characters shouldn’t have to outright say their orientation and/or gender identity for you to consider them “good rep”
That perspective is ridiculously narrow minded and downplays the importance of previous queer characters that helped pave the way to where we are now
Update: Here it is!
#*add in obligatory “I AM TRANS” here*#I’m so fucking tired#for fuck's sake as I'm writing this japan STILL doesn't allow same sex marriages! this shit is very much still progressive!#and I KNOW it’s a bunch of kids saying these things due to how popular the game is with kids#(and because these people are always talking about school)#which makes me even more annoyed. these kids aren't fully grasping what they're talking about.#this is just in general but: YOU DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING. I DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING. YOU NEED TO ACCEPT THAT#‘let’s downplay the important things that these characters did for our community because they didn’t outright state what they were 😃’#it feels like I’m stuck with a bunch of lily orchards 😭#god if she ever finds out about this game and this character’s arc…#I am going to make the list but I’ll have to scan through a lot of transcripts and such to do so. so it’ll take a while 😅#I wonder what these guys would think about the cops from [POPULAR DISNEY CARTOON WITH THE TRIANGLE TUMBLR SEXYMAN]#lgbtq#queer#queer representation#fandom discourse#(… I guess!)#rant#personal#edit: holy shit lily just said that ‘subtext isn’t enough’ when it comes to lgbtq representation#I hit the nail on the head 😭#mint mumbles
