#does this make sense? probably not

[chronicowboy]

obsessed with the return of buddie's fucked up, unknowing jealousy. i think that locker room scene does it incredibly well especially for the first episode because both of them are keeping pretty big things from each other that i guarantee they would have told each other about immediately minus marisol and natalia. but eddie doesn't tell buck about christopher's first date, for long enough that it's been planned and he's asked his girlfriend to help chaperone, because a subconscious part of him wants to punish buck for dating natalia. and buck doesn't tell eddie anout breaking up with natalia, which seems like it happened at least a little while ago, because he doesn't want to be single in the face of eddie's new relationship and if there's a little hidden part of him that wants eddie to think he's taken by the death doula just a little while longer well.

it's also not lost on me that the people acting like those who don't care about bucktommy want buck to never have been with another man, are now turning around and saying that eddie should be alone for the rest of his life if he doesn't end up with buck...just say you hate characters of color if they don't exist to serve as props for the pretty white boy and go lol

I mean, literally, people don't even want Eddie to have loved his wife because that would make it so he didn't always exist for Buck. If he's not a prop on Buck's story, he's nothing for some people and that's very telling. Buck needs to fuck all of LA but Eddie needs to be the sad widower forever. Just say you hate Eddie and only shipped buddie because it was the only option and go.

But, anon, darling, since I'm going controversial right now because I don't give a fuck anymore and I'm just tired, I'm gonna use this to say my most controversial Buck/Eddie thought ever. I think narratively, you can introduce a love interest for Eddie, man or woman, that would be a satisfying endgame relationship for him in a way you can't do with Buck. Obviously, it wouldn't be as satisfying as if he ends up with Buck, I think that buddie is the natural progression of the narrative for both Buck and Eddie. And I desperately want that payoff. That being said, considering the way that what stops Eddie from pursuing actual happiness in a romantic relationship is pretty much his status as a widower, the way he can't let go of what he thinks he could've had with Shannon if he had made different choices, and this idea of what he needs to provide in a relationship that goes against what he actually needs, to have him realize that and meet someone who helps him be happy that he is alive again could work. To suddenly give him that spark he keeps saying he wants and let him settle into it could work. It would have to be constructed carefully, but it can be constructed. Buck on the other hand, his endgame relationship needs a level of construction that would take an amount of work the show just doesn't have the time to build anymore. Unless the show is gonna have 20 seasons and give grey's anatomy a run for its money. Because considering the way Buck keeps letting himself be chased because he wants stability but he's too scared to actually do something about it and end up making the wrong choice, he needs a friends to lovers arc for it to be satisfying. Buck needs that initial level of partnership outside of the physical connection before he gets into a romantic relationship in my opinion. Even more considering Buck's relationship with sex, his own body, his sense of self worth, I think he needs someone who will see him fully before wanting to add romance into it and that's Eddie. They don't have the time to introduce someone who will take this spot in Buck's life and have it naturally progress into something romantic because that spot is already filled. Buck has been consistently shown as someone who jumps into the physical aspect of a relationship first, from groovyheels to Tommy, so I think that the only relationship that would feel truly satisfying for Buck to end up in, is one with someone who loved him without the physical first. And that's always gonna be Eddie. There's no way to add a second best friend for Buck at this point of the show. So someone else is never gonna live up to this need Buck has to be understood beyond what he can offer. To be loved anyway. For Buck it's always gonna be Eddie. But I think Eddie could learn to be loved by someone else if the show really wanted to keep them apart. I don't want it to happen, I want both of them together, I think it's the best ending for the story they are telling, but in a reality where buddie is not on the table, I think it makes more sense for Buck to end up alone than Eddie. It would be tragic. But it would make more sense than Buck with whoever and Eddie alone.

And also the people who want Eddie to be alone need to go. Along with the people who want Eddie to die so that bt can raise Chris. Along with the people who think Eddie is a prop on Buck's story. Along with the people who can't seem to see Eddie beyond what he can offer Buck. Along with everyone who can't seem to understand Eddie is also a main character. Anyone who doesn't see Eddie as his own character needs to go.

Rolan is everything Kian is supposed to be and Kian is who Rolan is supposed to be

Ok hear me out, @plantboiart ‘s post about rolan being not the brightest with numbers made me just start thinking in overtime

Rolan has the skill as a fast and smooth talker and yes he probably got that refined while practicing as a lawyer but I’m sure he used those skills while growing up especially after his “birth” and having to act as human as possible and essentially is the charmer of the group. He’s smart, he’s but his skills really lie in charming others and connecting to others the way Kian claims he does

Kian is the smart one, he calculates everything, he notices when things aren’t correct or when they don’t line up like they should, he hides behind being this grandiose, larger than life person who acts out on these whims, but he is really smart and he is truly the only one that got out of Galloway

They both are trying so desperately to be someone they aren’t but really they are so much like each other. I wonder if they ever realized that or if they looked at themselves in the mirror and notice the similarities to the other before they’re faced with who they actually are

au where orin gets tired of bhaal's shit, overthrows him, and takes his place and ascends to godhood somehow

[garbean]

I'm actually pretty happy at where my interest in stobotnik lies if that makes sense cause usually I am super obsessed 24/7 no other thoughts only consume that media and then once I get tired or burnt out from it I just don't think about it anymore. I'm in the nice in between which is good so I don't get sick of it.

Faust Limbus Company radiates teddy bear energy, but not in a cute wholesome fluffy way she's like a weird fucked up slightly uncanny teddy bear you see in a thrift shop who just sorta begrudgingly lets itself be hugged

i feel like i saw someone else say this, but i cant remember where. but its weird to me that people will present current beauty standards as so much less restricting than they used to be in days of yore. as someone who has never met beauty standards, it seems like the shift has been less about embracing peoples natural beauty and more about like. mandating that you must be beautiful but also mandating that you deny that you're trying??

people used to wear hairstyles that took hours to construct, and sure we dont do that anymore, but it's not because we dont care about you having the correct hairstyle. we just dont want you to admit you put effort into it. is a 1920s full face of makeup actually less work than the elaborate skincare and makeup routines girlies do on tiktok? have we embraced "natural beauty", or have we just made it abberant to admit that it wasnt natural?

is athleisure being so popular really a positive change in fashion? is it really embracing comfort? or is it just denying anyone who doesnt already meet the standards any place to hide? corsets were restrictive, sure, but you could pad a corset. You can tailor a suit to accentuate certain features and downplay others.

idk. i dont think im articulating this well enough. but i feel like its weird to demand constant beauty and also demand like it was natural. and it's even more frustrating when people look back on fashions of the past and be like "wow im so glad i live now, where nobody forces me to wear a corset or a long skirt or a suit!!!" yeah those garments were probably taxing, at least occasionally! but are you more free now that you're expected to wear tight, stretchy fabrics every day? where theres no way to hide every unslightly bulge or dip in your skin? where you cant pad anything or strategically arrange any fabrics to make you look better, so the only option is to undergo surgical alternations if you want to feel good in your own body??? i dont know. i just think its fucked up that a transition towards alleged "comfort" seems to have, instead of making people more comfortable, just given them fewer options when it comes to how they can make their bodies look good.

Something something: Purvan watching Emhira grow up, waiting for the other shoe to drop where she is Called as his Goddess/Mother and he loses her forever.

Something something: Relvin watching Imogen grow up, waiting for the other shoe to drop where she is Called like her mother and he loses her forever.

Actually thinking about it, I don’t think a lot of the Asian countries call China dad/mom in a serious or joking manner like I’ve seen portrayed in many fics. I feel like it’s CHINA who does this himself because it genuinely makes him feel like he has control and yeah I honestly think he has control issues tbh

For the fostering AU, which role in the family dynamic does each of the girls play? Who gets on/shares a bedroom? Who fights the most and what sort of fighting is it? (my sister and I don’t really argue but you will receive a kick in the ribs if you’re sat close enough and being annoying, but I know for other siblings it can be the opposite). Do any of the girls have friends that come over and what does that do to the dynamics? Please talk about it as much as you like, it sounds super interesting!

heyyy thank you for the ask!! 🫶

the girls are between 15-17 when they’re with sharon (i think. this may change) so really they all have the same role. zola is the only one who has reunification as a possibility, while the rest of them are all with sharon for the foreseeable future

ava and hannah are the oldest - hannah is responsible and good, while ava is annoying and a bitch, but an extremely good student. sarah’s 16, and she spends the bare minimum amount of time at home. this is not allowed. she is supposed to be there every day. zola and caitlin are the two youngest, and zola’s always dragging caitlin into her antics. no one ever suspects caitlin of anything bc she’s sweet and young and doesn’t talk. she would not join zola if she didn’t want to

they consider each other roommates/friends rather than sisters as they haven’t been living together long enough/grown up together to consider themselves siblings. ava and sarah share a bedroom, as do zola and caitlin. hannah has her own space. ava would prefer her own room, obviously, but sarah sneaks out so often that she’s alone most of the time. her silence comes with a price. also sarah and ava are the most likely to fight; sarah has inheritance and a trust fund, and some of the money has been set aside so she can continue at her prestigious private school. all she does at school is fuck around and skip class. ava is SO jealous of all the opportunities sarah has at her school (ava’s at public school), and she often can’t stop herself from having a go at sarah for wasting everything she’s got. she’d give anything to take sarah’s place at the private school

hannah and zola sometimes have friends round, but ava and sarah and caitlin are pretty lonely. sarah has crockett, but she goes to see him rather than bringing him home because she does Not want to open that can of worms

Listening to Lily by Alan Walker while thinking about Asriel (and Chara)

Below is me explaining how I can force the narrative to fit

- Asriel, fairly self explanatory for the first three lines. Literally grew up sheltered in castle walls.

- Last four lines about following Chara’s plan. “All alone” because Chara is dead.

- I’d imagine Asriel was told about the dangers of absorbing a soul, and of the surface world. But Chara reassures him that it’ll be ok.

- Asriel really would follow Chara everywhere they went, Chara convinces him to follow their plan. They’ll have everything under control. (They did not.) They want to give the monsters their dream: the surface world. They want to live up the prophesy, the “magic story”, be the angel who sets the underground free.

- He regrets the plan, listening to Chara. He holds Chara back from killing the humans.

- They die. And he awoke again. (Flowey!!!)

When he awakes he calls for Chara, or for anyone to help him.

I think Chara’s words, and he and Chara’s final moments really replay a lot in his head. Maybe he regrets listening to them, maybe he regrets backing out. After the panic subsides and he grows more numb Flowey really internalises Chara’s words and mentality.

Unfortunately I have the personality of a brat with the sex drive of a nun plus an aversion to emotional vulnerability and that just about sums up half of what's wrong with me.

she's the man plot, except the main character is actually trans masc and the main male li is coming to the realization he might actually be bi while the main female who was introduced as a faux li, and should be a li, doesn't care when she learns that the main character is trans masc or that they'd been lying about being their own brother for x reasons.

writing is such a humbling experience bc you realize you're dumb and words aren't wording the way you want them to word
