Lowkey imma need someone to let me rant about Solangelo and them being dorks for each other and their personalities and my issues with TSATS because I feel like I'm going a little crazy over here

[apollocabinrep]

I really don't think ppl understand because I talk about this with one of my friends (he has been in several cringe relationships over the years I have known him because we've been through TRENCHES together) all the time. This is Nico's first REQUITED romance. It is his first time being in a relationship and he has ZERO clue what he is doing. All he really knows is pain, wars, suffering, loss, etc. While I admit TSATS wasn't great. There were certain scenes that were definitely out of character or off, but a MAJORITY of it was Nico not being TRAUMATIZED. He was in a place where he could HEAL. And, he's 14-15, the age of a FRESHMAN IN HIGH SCHOOL (for those in the United States), it is going to be awkward and cringe-worthy, but if you think at 14/15 your relationships weren't, you are most definitely wrong. None of us had any idea what we were really doing dating at that point in our lives. Now, onto William Andrew Solace, because I know there will be people who will argue that it could possibly not be his first relationship as he is canonically bisexual and we have 0 clue how he discovered his sexuality. (Thanks Rick...) IF, and that's a big if, he dated ANYONE before Nico, once again take his age into account and WHEN he could have possibly done so. At age 12/13, he took over as head counsler of the Apollo Cabin after the deaths of quite literally 98% of the siblings he had. Regardless of how many you think there were, he was left with TWO siblings where they were previously the second largest cabin. Right after Manhattan, the NEXT quest happens. While yes, it IS theoretically possible he had a relationship in the timespan before the attack on CHB, he was 15!!!! I can assure you, if he was dating then, there isn't a high chance he was focused on the person he was with everything considered. Without my own personal headcanons (because I do have quite a bit, but they are certainly biased). canonically he reaches out to Nico in the war to touch his vitals. He's a medic, it's what he does. Will NEVER gives up on Nico, and pushes him to recovery. While we, unfortunately, do not get to see how they fell in love, we can tell that Will is navigating this relationship just as carefully. He doesn't want to hurt Nico, instead wanting to understand him. Will is a dorky teenager, so is Nico. They also match each other's energy. Will is CANONICALLY interested in true crime. Will isn't perfect though, and he struggles in understanding just like any other human being.

If you think Will and Nico are rlly cringe in tsats then you've clearly never been in a long term teenage relationship. Yes it might be cringe to read but if you're in a relationship it's rlly not

(genshin impact 4.1 spoilers)

no but the tidbit from neuvillette about how the gnoses are objects containing power stolen from the seven sovereigns???

whaaat?????

so does this mean that the tsaritsas plan could possibly be to hand the power back to them and have them defeat celestia???

makes sense why zhongli would align with her if thats the case, none of the archons seem to think kindly of celestia, theyre all definetly more favourable to the sovereigns.

Im being delusional again 🥰

look. I don’t particularly care for unhealthy or aggressive relationships with sexual undertones in fiction, I’m too ace for that Bullcrap and I’d prefer to think about Anything Else Ever.

…. That being said. Sometimes. You. You look at a guy. And. and the guy hates the Hero So Much. His whole personality is hating the Hero. It’s almost weird just how much he hates him. And…. Like, yknow that one post about “throw knives at it all you want: you still printed a photo of them out and put it in your wall”? It’s like that. You just Know that their mind is consumed every waking moment by this person and it doesn’t make any sense for them at that point to not have at least a little Fruity beneath all the hateful bile. You spend your time staring at their face seething. Gazing into their eyes seething. Holding their face between your hands wondering what it would feel like to snap their neck, seething. Staring at their mou- how far do I gotta go before you get the idea here? so yea anyway this is why I think Endeavor is the way he is about All Might 👍

the first TV show I ever watched on the computer was House. I was 14, and warily circling the notion that human males were interesting. I thought Chase was pretty cute. also Wilson. not anyone else though

fast forward 15 years. I just saw a post that happened to contain face shots of many of the major characters of House, and my brain said, "Taub."

me: "no, I remember him being uggo..."

brain: "well, he has the most attractive face in the slate, so that must be an unusually good picture of him. google him though"

me, blinking at all the photos of him: "oh wow, this guy is clearly extremely cute? what happened"

The Red; the anger, the fists embalmed in the stink of blood. One that protects, that feeds, instinctive. The Red; the flesh and the wine, and a soft name behind the grief. Violet— purple, supple and bruised.

The Blue; the calm, the quick and quiet motions in nature. One that takes and gives and gives. The Blue; the bubbling energy, dangerous, though whole and endless. A gentle name. Powder— subtle, delicate and reactionary.

Sisters;

One who lived a life of flames, knows only of fire and blood and the unbudging stains of red that seep into one’s life. Another who lived a life of water, reborn and purified, the memory of a past haunting, with its claws sunk in deep, the childhood sketches of a family now long melted and gone.

sometimes genshin will be doing its gacha thing and or some other general annoying non gacha cringe and it sucks and theres a snoozefest patch and writing that falls short of its full potential and shoddy QoL and an underutilized combat system and when its like that its easy to be all ha ha shit game fuck this company i dont owe em shit but then u sit on it a while calm down and eventually go back to like. the chasm nail and just. listen to that haunting fucking OST and remember how ur breath caught and heart skipped when u discovered it the first time with that same melody kicking in gear only to drill that sucker punch of a wonder in further so that ur stuck helplessly left staring at the scene in front of u for minutes and minutes just. lost in that ambience . And try to remember the last time a video game has so effortlessly managed to instill this completely indescribable feeling in you (on MULTIPLE occasions) and absorb you into this world crafted with so much love and careful attention radiating from its every pore and its like. yeah yeah i know i know . why ive stuck with it all this time . why im most likely not quitting until EoS

Arlecchino discourse is really awkward because both sides are so convinced they are right and that the other side just lacks media literacy but 9 times out of 10 the take in question is also wrong and it leaves me scratching my head a little bit….
