#but where did the rest come from???

[pandasaurio-espacial]

I've never seen dungeon meshi but it's all over my dash so here are the characters from what I've gathered:

Autistic hungry man

The sister of autistic man (also autistic)

The bad bitch the sister pulled by being autistic

👁👄👁 (evil? twink)

Gimli from lord of the rings

A dad who loves his family very much and hates being in the dungeons idk how he ended up there but he definitely wishes he was home

[zibiscusloon]

An assortment of damn clowns (affectionate)

Actually it turns out I had more thoughts about that post that I forgot about lol

Would Nightmare actually give up his boys? Yes and no

If it was just a black and white situation of they're miserable, they don't wanna be here, they have somewhere better to be, then yes. He would leave them out to wherever they needed to be despite his own feelings and very quickly realise afterwards just how much he'd gotten used to the noise and company. I think he would get a little clingy with Dream about it, which I'm sure Dream would find very weird after everything but not unwelcome, he did miss his brother after all.

(If he couldn't attach himself to Dream's side for whatever reason, I think he might just sit in his castle and go insane. Or maybe he'd just spend all day at Ccino's trying really hard to project that he just likes the atmosphere and isn't lonely as hell)

But the thing is, most of them don't have somewhere better to be. Horror has his au, and Nightmare would keep up the supply of food even if Horror said he wanted to quit at this point, so he would understandably let him return home. Killer, Dust and Cross effectively don't have aus anymore though, and they tend to get into self-destructive habits when they're left to their own devices. (Obviously bringing Color and Epic into the mix to make sure Killer and Cross are taken care of eases matters, but Dust doesn't really have any friends outside their group he could go stay with - that Nightmare knows about at least).

The flipside of this is that his boys may not necessarily want to be given up. I think if Nightmare got really in his head about this he could easily end up convinced this is the right thing to do without ever asking them if it's what they want, with potentially terrible results. He's established such a pattern of always returning to find Killer when they get seperated, that if he never showed up Killer might just keep sitting there and waiting for him greyfriar's bobby style, refusing to leave because he's certain his boss is coming back.

I have a confession. I do not care for the soc boys. I'm sure they have very interesting character traits and lore the actors and fandom have come up with and that is so fun and great and I know none of it and I am perfectly content with that. Shout out to all my mutuals who love the soc boys I hope you are having fun with your Ken dolls but I will not be joining you. keep slaying.

i thought I might’ve been misremembering the compassion route!companion quest but like. idk man this just rubs me the wrong way. What do you MEAN it’s no longer their time, they’re still alive, they’re still in pain and confused and trying to seek out their lost children and torn from their dreams what do you MEANNNNNNN!!!!!!

How Does it Feel to Read Classic Sci-Fi?

Orson Scott Card: Two of the most interesting books you’ll ever read if you’re willing to look past a handful of things. And then you find the planet of Chinese people who worship having debilitating OCD. And the Mormonism. And the fact that the author is wildly homophobic and ought to read his own books.

Robert Heinlein (or at least the Wikipedia Summaries): I guess that’s a neat concept—oh, it’s a sex thing. Um. Gotcha.

Ray Bradbury: Man, I gotta read this thing for class huh. Well here’s hoping it’s good! *three hours later* oh. that’s why he’s famous. this will stick with me forever and I will never look at the phrase ‘soft rain’ the same again. christ. And then repeat 3x.

Isaac Asimov: Wow, this is such an interesting concept! I wonder how the exploration of it will influence the plot! Wait, hey, are you going to add any characters? Any of em? No like, with character traits other than ‘robot psychologist’ and ‘autistic’ and ‘woman’? None of em? No, ‘detective’ isn’t a character trait. Those are all just facts. Aaaand now I’m bored.

Ursula K. Le Guin: Hah, get a load of this guy! He’s never heard of nonbinary people before. Lol, what a riot; how dumb do you have to be to comprehend that these people aren’t men *or* women actually? Oh, wait, what’s happening. Oh shit, it was about society and love and learning to understand each other? And now I’m crying? And perhaps a better human being for it??

Andy Weir: Alright, this guy’s a really good writer. Funny, creative, knows so much engineering stuff…ooh, a new book! …I guess he can’t write women. Well, he wouldn’t be the first sci-fi writer…ooh another new book! And it’s more engineering problem solving and—wow. It’s not just women he can’t write. Please stop letting your characters talk to each other.

Lois Lowry: Oh, I remember this being fun when I was a kid! Wouldn’t it be fucked up to not see color? …upon reread, it would be fucked up to have your humanity stripped away, replaced with a tepid, beige ‘happiness’ for all time. Yeah.

Tamsyn Muir (let me have this ok): Haha, “lesbian necromancers in space” sounds fun. Lemme read this. Oh wow, yeah, this is right up my alley. OH GOD WHAT. NO. FUCK. OH SHIT WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING AND WHY IS IT REFERENCING THE BOOK OF RUTH AND HOMESTUCK BACK TO BACK!!! AHHHHHHHHH!! Now give me more please.

"And to follow up on Niko Mikkola...his sense of humour with him, like, maybe—lot of people don't talk—like, last night he was like, you know, he "woke Bobby up," or whatever. "Good thing Bob was awake—"

"He's a great personality and I've said this kinda during the year. And we've, you know, I mean we're always—...I was gonna say, "It'd be great if you guys could spend a lot of time with him," but then we spend a lot of time trying to make sure you guys don't spend too much time with our guys, so, there goes—so, forget that! But, he is an incredibly interesting guy. What's great is when he's coming to the bench... if there's something that's broken down, and I'm not sure if he's screaming in Finnish or it's in English, but it is funny as hell! And it's consistent. So, he plays really high-energy level. A lot of times these kinda big, lanky guys are... you don't really think they're moving that fast, but they are! He looks like he's getting across the ice, and, you know, he competes hard. That's what we like the most of him, but he talks at a high-energy level, too, on the bench. And that's great, right? We have some quiet players on our bench, and that's fine, that's who they are. But, those guys like Mikkola, who's got—nobody knows—Well there's four other Finnish guys knowing what he's saying, but nobody else knows what he's saying.

paul loves all his rascals and it is a joy to hear his takes on them its mikksys turn now!

PJO SPOILERS!!!

Am I the only one who thinks some people are being a little harsh on Grover for "snitching" on Percy in Episode 1? I see some people saying Grover's character has been "ruined" by having him "betray" Percy and I'm just over here thinking that gaslighting your best friend for literal MONTHS on end is just as much, if not a worse betrayal then snitching on said friend in order to get them out of the danger zone immediately. Either way you look at it, Grover betrayed Percy in both versions, and honestly I think Grover's snitching was the kinder route to take; at least Percy wasn't questioning his own sanity for months, but a few hours.

And another thing too is that I'm kind of glad their friendship seems a little tense right now in the show, since I felt like in the book, Percy just sort of brushes off being literally lied to and gaslit by Grover for months. Don't get me wrong, I adore their friendship so much but it always kind of bothered me that they never really TALKED about the gaslighting period and how alone that made Percy feel to have even his best friend say everything that happened was all in his head. I don't know, I always just wanted there to be a scene where they actually talked about it and reconcile. So I'm hoping that since the show seems to be putting tension between Percy and Grover right now, that we'll hopefully get a moment of closure and reconciliation between them.

I do think the Brits will probably do some sort of tribute for Liam but that does not mean that the other 1D members will be involved. I can't remember if they usually do an in memoriam video tribute but I think he would either be included in that or something similar individually. They might get them to introduce it if there is an individual tribute, but I can't imagine it going beyond a video introduction and even that is a stretch imo.

But if they were to all do a group tribute I wouldn't necessarily write it off even though it's not something I want to happen.

(edit: by group tribute I just mean doing something as a group, not a performance, re-reading this I don't know if that was clear enough)

When I look at it from a fan perspective I don't want them to do anything as a group because we know what the reaction will be. We know how people will make it about a million other things than Liam, we know that it will only fuel the narrative of Liam being desperate for the band to get back together, we know that the people who have been begging for a reunion without Liam will use this as a gotchu, we know all the same disrespectful things done and said during his funeral will be done again but amplified.

It's hard because it feels like the people who didn't celebrate him while he was here shouldn't be allowed to celebrate him now. However I'm realizing I have to try to pull myself out of that mindset and think about how the people close to him feel because it's a double edged sword. It feels bad to see possibly disingenuous manufactured tributes that would've meant more if they made the effort when he was alive but it would also feel bad to see nothing.

It's clear his family appreciated the fan tributes, and while they weren't all disingenuous the amount of support after his passing vs before is a stark contrast and I'm sure that creates a lot of complicated feelings. It is possible to simultaneously feel the anger of him deserving this love when he was here and still feel comforted by tributes.

I do think that a group tribute might be something that his family wants. We obviously don't know their feelings about all of the boys relationships with Liam, how they treated him or how much they even knew, but they were all invited to the funeral. That could just be to avoid the public reaction if they weren't, I don't think thats the case but I wouldn't know. They haven't publicly showed any resentment towards them and that's all I can go off so I do believe it is possible that his family would support a group tribute.

Additionally I don't think they would do it without consulting his parents. Even beyond that I doubt the Brits would plan anything without contacting his family because of the possible backlash if they were to come out against the tribute. It's also just common sense and curtsey but I don't rely too heavily on those things being followed these days.

Maybe I'm trying too hard to find a reason for the possibility of this tribute coming from a good place to placate myself incase it does happen but I'm also trying to think of it from their perspective. I don't necessarily think the same worries that we have is what Liam's family and loved ones are worried about.

I'm always most concerned about what Liam deserves and how him & his legacy are remembered (which is still wrapped in anger over how he was treated and how he is still being treated). But I also think it's important to try and take a step out of my fan bubble perspective and imagine what the implications would be in his loved ones real lives because their priorities are probably different. Maybe to them being able to show Bear one day that his dad's band members showed up to honor him at one of the nations biggest award shows is more important than avoiding all the things we as fans are worried about (of course this is just a hypothetical example).

I'm sure they are aware of a good amount of the narratives online but they likely don't know everything and it simply may not matter to them anymore. Their son and brother is gone, if they want the band to pay tribute to Liam in this way and they believe it's something Liam would've wanted they shouldn't have to care about the ammo it will give people who quite honestly are going to be horrible with or without the extra material as a result of a "reunion".

The truth is we don't know how his family feels about it and we don't actually know how he would feel about it if he was here. Ultimately if it's what his family wants I can not bring myself to fully resent it. Some people are saying they will be completely done with the rest of the boys if they do this and I understand why but I can't bring myself to get to that point if they have his family's blessing. (In terms of my support it's really only about Louis anyway, I have very complex feelings about Niall and I've never really followed Harry or Zayn).

I will always have my own feelings about how things are done and what I think is "right" but that's really not up to me to decide. Maybe it's naive of me but I do at least trust Louis not to do anything that Liam's family wouldn't approve of AND anything he thought Liam himself wouldn't approve of. At the end of the day he is the one who knew Liam and while nobody will ever be able to know 100% what he truly would've wanted I have to trust that they do what they think is right and that's really all I can ask.

All of this is hypothetical anyways, we will have to wait and see what happens, this could all be a completely fabricated rumor.

if life is categorized by Before Loss and After Loss then I exist in the before but with a countdown to the after. and the countdown is always always present and debilitating. the loss will be debilitating too but i cant help myself. i will always suffer twice.
