I am going to make a dynamic that is sooo codependent and destructive

[blobee]

I think I just need to explain myself for my inactivity lately, it's just that the situation with this whole thing is growing. And, well, it happens too often to ignore, so I'm in a bad mood for anything.

This is the sixth siren today and I'm tired so I'll see what I can do, I don't know honestly

Obey me AU where everything is the same except Diavolo’s mom is alive. When the demon King went to rest she took a massive step back and isolated herself in the mausoleum to tend to the kings past, so Diavolo can learn to lead.

She’s a big fan of the exchange idea, except for the angels. But she’s nicer about it than the king. The only one who knows she’s still alive is Barbatos, Dia and everyone else think she passed on when the King went to rest. Swore Barbatos to secrecy and only plans on intervening in extraneous circumstances (read: MC almost destroying the realms by existing)

maybe an unpopular opinion but i like to think glinda WANTED to throw that torch in No One Mourns The Wicked HEAR ME OUT

they come out w a GIANT EFFIGY of her misunderstood best friend!! They're celebrating her death!!! And she's looking at this thing, and handed the torch and maybe she's thinking that she'd love to tear down the misrepresentation of her old friend, that maybe taking down this effigy will allow the people their peace and celebration, while allowing her friend to rest.

Like, burning the effigy is almost releasing elphaba of the wickedness that was thrust upon her.

(and also maybe glinda just wanted to get rid of that thing asap because of how fucked it was 🤷🏽‍♀️)

The whole song she's acting like she's just as happy as the rest of them, I can see the effigy being a last straw of sorts. So she's not burning her friend, she's burning the people's awful perception of her.

[crypticchild]

right so i'm rewatching bcc merlin (again) and like.. how do they explain the strawberries in the first episode? have they already been to the americas? have they already gone through aztec colonisation?? and those are some big ass strawberries too! not like the tiny wild ones you'd usually find in the wild. no, those are expertly cultivated strawberries!

anyways

i'm just wondering. on historical accuracies and all. not like it took that french cunt a few generations to understand how the aztec got their strawberries so big and juicy or anything. sillies!

Angst, fluff, angst, smut in that order

[cryptar]

yknow i say im a huge multishipper but i wouldnt actually consider myself much of a shipper at all. just open to the idea of trying everything once. the term has typically romantic connotations and follows the assumption that i think, and want, these characters to be good for eachother.

I'm, personally, less interested in the prexisting chemistry than i am in the puzzle of figuring out what differing circumstances could potentially cause two characters who have seemingly nothing in common to become eachothers everything.

This could explain my favorism towards rarepairs and more convoluted dynamics, and my aversion to popular, fluffy pairings that have already been explored a thousand times over, there's no work for me to do there.

Not to mention that when a ship becomes too popular it starts cannibalising itself, and lots of good, interesting characterisations are lost in the sea of people bending characters into pre-orchestrated, saccharine dynamics. alot of which are usually downright fetishy in nature, particularly in mlm pairings.

I mean i would say being able to get ooc and self indulgent is downright mandatory for making a good fic, but there's only so many times i have to read a fic about a big, overprotective, manly-man top who does all the work and the shy, small, swoony, softhearted femme-wifey-bottom before it starts to just be lazy.

I actively have to go out of my way to search 'switch' tags if i want true-to-the-character, mutual emotional reciprocation. which i really, really shouldn't have to do as an ace person who actively skips through nsfw.

And it's not that popular wlw pairings aren't guilty of these problems aswell, but those tend to lean more into the 'soft lesbians who can do no wrong' stereotype, which always completely (butch)ers all nuisance that makes the ship worth shipping in the first place.

As well as that's if they're even the focus of the story at all and aren't just shoved to the side by the main mlm couple. mlw pairings can be culpable of both these things, with the added risk that you find out the author made a twitter post with the characters in front of the 'super straight' flag.

Though i also wonder if me being aspec plays any part as again; im not as interested in the romantic aspects as i am in the possible hurdles they may face throughout the potential relationship.

Anyone else feel like this?

My city is so popular now 😎

I love RadioStatic /Onewaybroadcast , because in my head it was a miserable and betrayal filled break off of a mutually beneficial media monopoly of two close friends (as close as Alastor could get to being friends with a man) all because of the greed of one side. Their current mutual hatred being fueled by one sided betrayal and a wounded ego on the other.

But also Vox crying over the one who got away. The whole friendship being destroyed because Vox has zero rizz and Alastor being confused by the energy created.

19

The pull on my temples from my too-tight pigtails. The smell of cigarette smoke and cheap perfume mingled in the air. The crisp midnight air wafting through the window, dancing against my cheeks. The blaring music from the TV. The knocking of glass bottles piled on the floor. The quiet click of a closed door. My teeth against the skin of my fingers. The crinkle of a paper bag of jam doughnuts in my fist, thrust into my grip with a silent promise from stormy eyes. The silence in the car and the damp pillow I slept on that night.
