#don't overtalk things

[eri-pl]

Important observation from my reread of Silm: when Feanor doesn't answer you, shut up. Do not talk to him more. Just shut up and wait it you will make it worse.

Ah yes... new show, new people to blacklist 🙃

[nymph-ette111]

hiiiiiii!! (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠)(⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) could you do a simon cof x sweet, feminine reader headcannons? made my own headcannons to share with you because ily and i love this prompt(⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)

♡ i imagine reader and simon would go out, hes wearing the same crusty ass grey hoodie while shes dressed up all cute and pretty >.<

♡ he reeks of nicotine while she smells like neapolitan marshmallows<3 hes obsessed with her scent. he literally loves using her bodycare/haircare products over his 3 in 1 men shampoo (if he even showers that is) because he'd smell more like her.

♡ she shares absolutely everything of her purchases. she'd do little mini hauls to Simon, showcasing her new pink ballerina flats, sugarbunnies plushie she had to fight a war for in mercari, too faced chocolate bar palette, cute japanese stationary, and a lot of new clothes. Simon loves it. he loves seeing her happy. (may even buy her things he thinks she would love if he didn't have a smoking addiction<3)

♡ she doesnt only share that though she also loves talking his ears off about anything and everything<3 at first he was annoyed with her constant talking but when he spoke of it, she stopped talking so much and he got guilty and missed her overtalking. he tried to bring her spark back in talking and it worked

♡ shes compassionate and kind, understanding his struggles (but not condoning his actions) and helping him to get better. (he really wants to be saved by her but feels that he just cannot.)

♡ he really doesn't get why she's with him. Hes depressed, miserable, and difficult to be with. His low self esteem sometimes gets the best of him and he starts believing that he's not worthy of her, often leaving her on read, missing her calls, and ignoring her. (im sensing attachment issues) reader clutches w communication though :3

♡ they'd explore abandoned buildings. Simon's there to smoke blunts while readers there to get awesome fit pictures<3 they would go a long way travelling and reader the most practical girl you know has her feet hurt from walking on platforms. they either take lots of breaks or Simon just carries her on his back (unlikely)

♡ talk about taking fit pictures, Simon's technically her photographer. She has a blog where she posts fashion and besides the mirror pics, Simon's always the one taking the pictures. He's quite good at it too.

some of these headcannons probably won't work in his time but who cares(⁠ㆁ⁠ω⁠ㆁ) hope this prompt isnt that hard to write for..(⁠ᗒ⁠ᗩ⁠ᗕ⁠)you can always ignore if you want!! thankkkkkk you x3 xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxooxxooxoxoxox

WARNINGS; MENTIONS OF SMOKING, MENTIONS OF DEPRESSION

AUTHOR'S NOTE; WHOEVER REQUESTED THIS JUST KNOW I LOVE YOU!!! probably inaccurate for both the character and the timeline... listen, I don't know what swedish people were up to in 2012 leave me alone. also not very happy with this, still trying to figure out how to write Simon :3

-he looks comically out of place in your room. just imagine a pastel pink room filled to the brim with cute plushies, shelves full of little trinkets and books, floral bedding and lace curtains. a wall full of movie posters, magazine pages, and little polaroids of your most treasured moments, and then there's a depressed smoke addict.

-you know those videos where it's a boyfriend sleeping in their girlfriend's girly room with a bunch of plushies on top of him? yeah, basically same situation.

-his sleep schedule is fucked up. either he pulls an all nighter or is passed out till 3 pm. when it's one of those times where Simon feels tired, you just let him sleep in your bed whilst you do whatever.

-it's also a great opportunity to gather the perfect pictures for black mailing.

-he just looks so stupid in your room I love him.

-doesn't care about your plushies but will learn to treat them nicely after you yelled at him for 15 minutes straight about how it's unacceptable to throw rilakkuma off the bed just so he could sit down.

-punches the plush when you aren't looking.

-he definitely gives you that pink hello kitty hoodie to wear. or he wears it instead so you two could match. that's probably your idea and he obliges because it's something you love and enjoy.

-really like the idea of him being your personal photographer. he's always the first to leave a like on whatever you post, especially if it's he who took the picture.

-doesn't know anyone besides you. his followings on social media just contain a bunch of his favorite bands and your account.

-a bit sad but I can see him borrowing your money (with permission) to buy cigarettes if his mother refuses to give him any. he wants to buy you stuff you might like but he's too busy spending it on his addiction :(

-he instead draws you your favorite characters so you can put it on the wall alongside your other pictures.

-has never been in the vicinity of a woman without being an awkward shit. moral of the story he doesn't know anything about girls. his knowledge of things is pretty vague, so please don't be surprised if you see him just poking around your vanity and asking a million different questions on what certain products do and why.

-his mother is very happy her son finally found a girlfriend. she approves of you and thinks you're an absolute sweetheart. always asks Simon when you will visit them again.

-you two definitely earn a few stares in public because how did such a sweet and pretty girl end up with a guy like Simon.

-it pisses him off endlessly but can't help his thoughts and feelings. thinks he doesn't deserve you or any of the kind shit you do for him.

-like nonnie said, he probably isn't the greatest boyfriend... there are times where he cancels your hang-outs without further explanation or simply doesn't acknowledge any of your calls and messages. he feels pretty shitty after it and apologizes for his behavior. you forgive him even though you both know he'll do it again.

-he is low-key obsessed with your smell, he smothers anything you have in the shower all over his body without caring what it's for, just simply reads the labels and puts it on... with big amounts. this man is making you go bankrupt. you could literally see the outline of his fingers left in the product..

-his camera is full of pictures of you, he likes looking at them when he feels down. which is pretty often.

-shows you all of his favorite places in Stockholm or even Kirkvile (where does this man live I don't get it) ones that aren't usually full of people, just overly adventurous teenagers from time to time. something tells you that you two have trespassed into private property multiple times but Simon doesn't want to answer that question clearly.

-ugh imagine clipping cute little hair clips into Simon's hair and he just lets you do whatever you want because if you're happy then he is happy and he wants to see you smile :(

-in exchange, you let him do corpse paint on your face.

I am partway through Ace Attorney Dual Destinies and I have...mixed feelings, to say the least.

First what I like. I really like Athena! I think she's a cool character with a bright personality that contrasts nicely with Phoenix and Apollo, who are more deadpan and sarcastic. Her specialization in psychology is interesting (although I wish it was used more organically, more on that later). She's also "not too skilled", in that while she is talented and well-meaning, she still makes blunders and doesn't always think things through.

The interactions between the three lawyers (Phoenix, Apollo and Athena) are really fun. All of them play off each other nicely and their discussions are fun and engaging. Phoenix seems to have come into his role as a mentor now that his name has been cleared but he still tends to be rather hands-off and lets Apollo and Athena figure things out by themselves, which is understandable and which I prefer to him constantly looking over their shoulders. The decision to alternate between the three as to who is the defense leader and the co-counsel is genius ! I suppose it is controversial in the fanbase, but I like seeing the different thought processes and energies brought by each character.

Simon Blackquill is fun! He took a little getting used to, but after a few trials I am starting to like him. Putting aside the whatthefuckitism that Japanifornia apparently allows convicted prisoners to serve as prosecutors (there's so many things wrong with it I don't know where to start...), he's a good opponent, not too unreasonable, I love his pet bird, and his interactions with the judge are fun! He's so obviously done with Fullbright which is absolutely hilarious (I can relate buddy).

I really enjoy the quality of life improvements, like the investigation part being more linear so that I don't have to go back and forth between settings and present all the evidence in the court record to every damn character to get hints as to what I have to do next (to be honest, aside from a few exceptions I don't enjoy these parts that much and largely prefer the trial part). The checklist is also a nice addition (although with the investigations being more linear it is mostly useless, but still a good addition).

The transition to 3D is... mweh. The new characters modeled in 3D are great, but the old ones... tend to go between "okay I guess" and fucking bad! The models for Klavier and Trucy are atrocious to see! The new models for the settings are gorgeous though, especially the court setting.

Now for what I don't like. This game feels very anime-esque. Ace Attorney has always been unhinged in terms of characters, murders, reactions, etc and I love it, but this game has brought some of anime's worst trend, like the "overtalking", where characters talk without giving any new information and without the dialogue being very interesting or even funny. Like for example, "She would never do that!", "But she did it! And I have evidence!", "Your evidence is bullshit! You're being mean to my friend! She would not do that!" and it makes the cases drag so much! The first case took me a while to get through simply because of that! They also brought more insistence on the "power of friendship" especially in the third case and it completely took me out of the game. The first trilogy also had friendship moments but they were more subdued and more organic. When it comes to character relationships, I am a big supporter of the "less is more" and "actions speak louder than words". If you need your characters to loudly and repeatedly proclaim the existence of their friendship for the audience to believe it, chances are you messed up somewhere. It was especially egregious when Professor Means crushed Athena's spirits in the trial and when practically every character involved in the case had to cheer her up. That was such an awkwardly brought moment. I also felt that it devalued Athena as a character to have her so easily crushed by the words of a witness, words that weren't even so bad in context. If she had been shown struggling all throughout the trial, losing confidence, slipping up, getting flashbacks and all, then yes it might have made sense, but as it was done it was more like

Athena: I have finally found the real muderer! He's slippery and clever but I know I can prove that he did it! He and his philosophy are going down! 😤😤😾😾💪💪 Pr. Means: You suck lady! You can't defend your friend and you also almost got her friend accused of murder! You can't protect anyone! Athena: OMG it's true 😭😭😢😢😩😩I suck and I am going to fail!

I am making allowance for Athena clearly having trauma and it being her first trial, but it could have been written better is what I'm saying.

Finally, the mood matrix is... a thing. I like it in theory but it is so awkwardly introduced. It feels so obviously tacked on for it to be Athena's "thing". Compare that to the Magatama, that reacts when people are hiding things, and the "Perceive" mechanic that allows Apollo to see when people lie. Yes these are obviously outlandish and brought it to add a game mechanic, but they feel more organic that Athena just pulling out a holographic computer and reading people's emotions.

I am not discounting the possibility of me being a tad too harsh on the game. I do have to say however that it is the first one that feels like a chore to get through to get to "the good stuff" (meaning the last trial because I know it will have Phoenix and Edgeworth facing each other in court and Athena and Simon's backstory). So far, I am afraid to say it is my least favorite of the bunch....

⚠️❗ READ BLOG RULES FIRST BELOW

Before visiting my blog and downloading.

This is personal blog and art blog for The Sims game CC. NO annoying women/girls who came to my blog only to debate in English. I will delete the comment and block immediately without warning. Don't act disrespectful to CC creator who share our CC work for The Sims community. No stupid women drama. Keep your "Ladies' behaviour" out from this dude blog. Do not send me immature hate comment just because you defended wrong person whom I criticized for being disrespectful to me, because it is showing that you are jobless women who are lacking intelligence. Make sure your comment must be relevant to Sims CC only. If you want to debate about personal things you didn't like about me (irrelevant to The Sims related topics), you should leave my blog in the first place then go debate in Reddit or Quora instead.

To visitors from USA (United States of America), you must behave civilized and send polite message in understandable, International global formal English with no slang if you want to communicate with me. English is not my first language. Do not send messages with vulgar words. I will report your account to get you banned. No confusing English slang language, no mental illness allowed here. No filthy vulgar USA slang language and attitude. No overtalking about your USA states and your opinion as USA netizen about Asian culture that I never ask you. Be International, don't be unsophisticated USA people who don't know globalization & never travel to other countries. Once you are in my blog, you must behave like an Asian and follow Asian culture and customs.

Housewives and unemployed men are not allowed to comment and follow this blog. No stupidity allowed in this blog. Get a job and consult professional mental counselor before you send ignorant/hate comment and being aggresively stupid to other people's blog. Understand, jobless women and men?

Blog ini milik orang Indonesia, selama kamu komen pakai Bahasa Indonesia, bakal diprioritaskan.

Comment must be positive and feedback about CC only. For example: "Thank you for sharing" "Thank you for the CC". To foreigners, learn to say "Terima kasih" = Thank you . "Bagus" = Nice/Good.

Unless you are my real life wife, Do not send any body touching comment: "Hug", "Kiss" towards opposite sex blog owner. I will report who violates to Tumblr Staff as sexual harrasment. Unwanted Hug & Kiss = Sexual Harrasment, doesn't matter the gender.

DO NOT curse "F**k" and DO NOT use negative words such as "Crappy", "Idiot", "Garbage", USA people. By speaking those words I already know you are having low intelligence, unemployed & lazy people, and has immature teenager mentality. I remind you this blog is owned by an adult man working in corporate, not school playground. Be civilized guest and be a proper adult speak with manners and polite words.

Be respectful to non-native English speakers. Asians, Europeans, American Latin, African people who are able to speak English as our second/third language are educated people.

Don't insult men with "bitch" word, USA women. Bitch is derogatory word for girls and women. If you want to insult me, then use better, educated, and clever word towards educated men working for corporate. Bales pake Bahasa Indonesia dong, neng... bisa gak lu? Dasar bule kelas bawah IQ rendah 😂 Calling men "bitch" indicate your IQ must be very low, you even cannot tell difference between men and women 😂 Furthermore, it's your own fault why were you reposting my CC (I am the original creator) without mentioning my username? I can see your IP address you are from USA, Fakehouserealawesome.

If you cannot speak Bahasa Indonesia, 中文 , or any Asian languages... Do not act arrogant on my blog.

Internet is international space for many nationalities, not USA country. Respect and adapt to Asian culture if you want to visit my blog.

Say "Hi/Hello/Dude/Bro/Koko (哥哥）", "Please" ,"Thank you" ,"Would you" ,"May I ask" If you want to communicate to me, Westerners. If you are from Western (White Caucasian race) country, you must behave polite. Learn from Asians how to communicate politely and effectively on public.

Working adults and professional only. Students under 21 years old are allowed, as long as you are well-behaved in my blog, speak to me with manners like a mature adult, not 8-10 years old little child. Baby girl/toddler/elementary school kid language such as "ty for the likes <3" "Gawd lawd" "omg" "lol" , spamming love emoji or crying emoji will be deleted and your account will be blocked. My blog is not for kids.

Troublemakers, rude people, "low intelligent with no class" & uneducated people are not tolerated in this blog.

Do not follow or interact or send messages to me if you are housewives. Housewives are supposed to take care of their family and house, not being trolls in gaming community on internet. (Mothers/housewives are not gamers anyway, why are you trying to follow dude gamer blog, then get offended because men being men? 😂 ) I already enough getting annoying / provoking with low intelligence argument from U.S.A. "Karen" housewives to disrespect me. ( Yes, my real life wife was laughing and calling that USA housewife stupid). If you are housewives, mothers, or unemployed men who have no job, no skills, no friends, not exercising, never travel to other countries, spending too much time on internet being grumpy and complaining about life all the time, defending Fakehouserealawesome who had insulted me as a CC creator ... Consider to leave my blog immediately.

Target followers of this blog: Educated, gamers, working & productive in real life and well-behaved.

If you are women, Do not send sexual comment such as "hug". Non-sexual hug is for girls/women/ladies only. We men do not communicate with "hug" word. Pressing your (female/woman) breasts (•)(•) and front body to stranger men body is clearly sexual position to seduce men, which is immoral & not acceptable. I understand that white caucasian women are obsessed with physical body touch, including involving your breasts, but your culture is not compatible to our Asian culture. Do not hug men unless the man is your husband/boyfriend/sexual partner. Assuming all Sims players are girls are sexist and stupid for not being aware that there are men on any community and including internet. There could be sex predator men that can do sexual harrasment to you, women. Therefore, do not say hug to stranger people on internet unless the target person is 100% woman.

I remind you there are men and women on this Tumblr platform. Tumblr is public website, not private website for girls/women only.

Any comment with body touching is not allowed. Calling me "sweetheart", "honey" or any attempt for flirting are not allowed. You are not my wife. Any inappropriate comment will be deleted and will be reported as sexual harassment. Please focus on The Sims CC content only.

If you women didn't want your part of your body getting touched by men, then don't touch men's body too. Gender equality rules work here. You cannot behave selfish and will not get "special treatment" just because you are a woman. Even if you are woman and did wrong, you will get treated/criticized back as harsh as a man because I treat both genders men and women the same.

Crazy radical feminist women hating men are not welcome here. Remember, The Sims is created by man (Will Wright) and core mod, script mod, number of modders, tools (The Sims Workshop and plugins for programs); by majority are men.

If you women starting to ridicule men on purpose by saying, "Men playing The Sims are rare" then you should visit ModTheSims, Reddit, Steam, Youtube comments, meme with The Sims jokes and The Sims parodies on social media where men are everywhere in The Sims community. ModTheSims, TSR, TSR Workshop, The Sims mod tools & plug-ins are made by men. Not because "Men playing The Sims are rare" but actually you woman is the one who actually close-minded, not real gamer (never play hardcore games before other than The Sims) and lacking social interactions with men, don't have brother or guy friends are you... ?

Do not assume men playing The Sims are "gay" or"feminine". Many of us are straight. This is why I told you women to do not say "hug" to male Sims players.

Respectfully call male Sims players with male avatar with He/Him pronoun. I do not tolerate stupidity of misgendering my pronoun, while the gender of my avatar is very obvious. Do not emasculate Asian men nor disrespect our masculinity.

As a blog owner, I have right to defend my CC I created and correcting that people say wrong about me.

Let blog owners speak and post whatever we want. If you're getting offended with my post, then it is your own fault for not being open-minded. Learn to mind your own business.

If you come to my blog (including other people's blog too) only to debate / post negativity / being hostile to me, it means you are unemployed/jobless with poor financially/income. Working & productive people in real life with well financially/income and happy life do not have time to post negativity to other people on internet.

Normalize being polite and respectful. Comment to say compliment, feedback about CC and support CC creator who are sharing our CC work for free to Sims community.

Feel free to leave my blog if you disagree with my rules and viewpoint.

Terimakasih atas perhatiannya. 感謝諸位的時間！

[notnights]

This is gonna be long because im an overthinker AND an overtalker- sorry in advance 😭

alright so i found out you wrote a fic for Ribbuns and immediately went off to check it out, and the tags actually scared me cause my taste for ribbun fics is smthn cute and fluffy- bc they get enough hate as it is, i didnt want them to hate eachother as well lol. Idk, the tags made it seem as if there wouldnt have been a happy ending where they both end up liking eachother.

BUT once I read it!! yes it started off negative, Gangle hating him and the overall relationship theme being kinda toxic (its probably tame but im not mentally strong for this ok) although its deserved since, you know, Jax. No hate to him or anything, the fic says it all lmao

but the way you write them-- it made me open my eyes to this type of relationship between them, particularly on how Gangle had- what, a power trip?- in this relationship, treating Jax badly but him still loving her. Woke smthn up in me frfr; ESPECIALLY THIS (along with more scenes but i esp like the power Gangle is shown to have here over him):

----------------

He shuts up when she says his name though. Nothing more, just a clear command to stop and a quick glance up to his face. Will question why that tickles her brain later.(Acetate Tears, Chapter 1)

----------------

this made me fall in love (as well as understand the trope more) for power trips in toxic love.

Almost made me change teams, to look for angsty toxic ribbun content despite my mentality, until:

----------------

Jax leans into her, pounces. Gives her silly wet kisses. She gives a squeaky scream. Weakly attempts to push him away from her, despite knowing she deserves this. Well maybe not this specifically , but some form of punishment. (same source)

----------------

THIS made me giggle and kick my feet in glee, reminding me of my love for soft kisses in fics

TLDR; your fic is honestly one of the best Ribbun fics ive read so far (im still digging through the tags!! I'm desperate for more!!) and it also awoken smthn in me that i tried to ignore hehe.

I LOVE your perception on their relationship, their behaviours, mindset, everything! Here's to hoping you'll write more ribbun, but its ok if u dont!! 🐰🎀

(im not good with words, but i hope my love for your fic is shared thru this jumble of words lol. I also hope episode 4 gives more depth to Ribbun's relationship that can bring more supporters instead of hate, since its gonna be focused on Gangle🤲)

((OH and im sharing my thoughts here instead of ao3 bc i'm super duper shy for no reason -carbon footprint scares me- and somehow tumblr asks in anon mode isnt as scary. Again, srry im saying so much 💀You dont hv to answer this since its long and not rlly an ask lmao))

Aw hey this is sweet thank you! You're all good, I am also an overthinker and overtalker (if that hasn't been apparent by the way I answer asks already) so I get it!

the tags actually scared me... Idk, the tags made it seem as if there wouldnt have been a happy ending where they both end up liking eachother.

Hey that's alright! That's what the tags are for to make sure this is something a potential reader can handle or get prepare for! The unfortunate thing is I obviously don't want to give away too much with them such as the happy ending, so I totally understand if it wards some people off. Respect for those who know their limits!

I also wanted to leave the ending a bit ambiguous as to if they truly ended up together or not. And depending on what you're hoping for with the story might not be the happy ending [Ganlge voice] you were hoping for.

particularly on how Gangle had- what, a power trip?- in this relationship, treating Jax badly but him still loving her.

One of my favorite things in stories about relationships is that one brings out something in the other they didn't know they needed to let out. Helps balance themselves out. Jax lets Gangle let out more than just "sadness" he lets her find out she's more than a pity party, she has anger to release and resentment to express (among other emotions). She has more than two emotions.

And while this is primarily a comment on Gangle, (this ain't about Jax right now...) Gangle lets Jax find out he's someone capable of relinquishing and receiving of love (the thing about him hating the idea of them having a "happily ever after.")

THIS made me giggle and kick my feet in glee, reminding me of my love for soft kisses in fics

Glad to hear it! I do really like Jax and Gangle being cute. But I like it more when it's after all the hard stuff. One of those well earned things. A cold glass of lemonade after mowing the grass. Eating something salty before eating something sweet and it makes it taste even sweeter!

A lot of folks make cute Jax and Gangle content that it makes me forget I don't make enough of it. Those of y'all who make cute stuff balance out whatever the hell I'm doing over here! So thanks for that.

All these things are very kind of you to say also! Thank you! It means a lot that you came to say them even though you were so shy!

Good luck with your searching! I hope you find more that you enjoy.

And yess I'm very excited for the Gangle episode either if it has some interaction between them or not. Because while I ship them and they're my two favorite characters, as my boyfriend describes "you just like Jax as an accessory to Gangle." Oops! Here's two hoping that sticker set implies there is some more meaningful interaction between them there.

Ranpo! Is! Autistic Coded!

Hear me out! I definitely think Ranpo from BSD is Autistic coded! It only occurred to me during my second watch-through but a lot of his mannerisms actually match up a lot with my own experiences as someone with ASD! :0

I found a whole article explaining a lot of different things that make him Autistic coded so I'll link it here! But I'll also make a TLDR version too in case the link doesn't work!

BASICALLY!

1.Infodumping/Overtalking

2.Missing tons of social cues

3.Obliviousness in many situations

4.Not understanding/feeling/expressing emotions the same as others

5.Comfort objects and stimming

6.Meltdowns

7.Sensory issues (especially with clothing)

8.Hand flapping

9."Childish" or unusual interests/hyperfixations

I love him so much! (Even though Akutagawa is my ultimate favorite character)! I would love to elaborate on the points made above but the article does a better job than me!

UPDATE!! I JUST STARTED WATCHING SEASON 4 SO UNDERNEATH HERE WILL BE S4 SPOILERS!!! PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!!

So based off of all of the Ranpo LORE revealed in the first episode his Autism beams are stronger than ever because HEAR ME OUT!!!

So it's revealed that Ranpo always gets perceived as childish even when he doesn't wish to be perceived that way (I know he's 14 but he says something along the lines of like "Here we go again, getting treated like a child") which is something many people with Autism (me included) have to deal with from our NT peers

AND! Not to mention the particular eating habits from when Fukuzawa was taking him out to eat red bean bowls with mochi in them and he didn't eat any of the mochi (in any of the 20 bowls)

AAAAAND! This is the spiciest part! It was revealed that Ranpo kept getting fired from jobs because of how blunt he was with the truth and how he would easily confront his superiors about their past or their crimes! It's so hard for many Autistic people to keep a job oftentimes because many of us don't understand social cues!

Another thing was that Ranpo automatically assumed that all of the tiny details he noticed were common knowledge and that everyone was on the same page as him, when in actuality he was noticing things that nobody else had yet to pick up on!

There were many other moments where Ranpo either didn't pick up on social cues or said/acted in ways that were out of pocket or not "normal" if that makes sense, and it only strengthens the argument that Ranpo is Autistic coded!

FUKUZAWA IS SUCH A NICE ADOPTIVE FATHER TO HIM OKAY AAAAH I'M ONLY ONE EPISODE IN BUT LITERALLY I LOVE RANPO SO MUCH! HE JUST LIKE ME FR FR

OKAY SO ANOTHER EDIT/UPDATE!

IN EPISODE 2 RANPO SAYS SOMETHING VERY DISTINCT AND APPLICABLE TO MOST PEOPLE WITH AUTISM AND IT WAS THAT "There's something that everyone else gets that I don't"

And then he has a small meltdown in the theater and you can clearly see people are starting to stare if you look closely

I literally relate to him so much so much so much

IN EPISODE 3, Ranpo also notes that he can't pay attention to things he has no interest in, which is something I personally really struggle with (especially as a college student RIP)

I'm not 100% sure if his breakdown at the end of episode 3 would constitute as something that should be added to this list, but I think it's noteworthy because I myself have also had similar meltdowns that went very similar to Ranpo's and I want to mention it.

I know I keep expanding this list as I find more and more content but somehow Ranpo's existence and the way he is unanimously respected and loved by the ADA is somehow really validating and comforting to me at the same time. I know BSD is fiction but somehow I see myself in Ranpo and yearn to be loved in the way that he is by all of his friends.

[darkhalo4321]

I've spent a good chunk of my life going with the flow of others and not thinking too deeply for my own reasons. I typically put my emotions on the back burner because me having emotions was often seen as a point to bully me or it was inconvenient for the time. Lately, i have been more forceful and vocal.

Sure, I can't debate on the spot, but give me time to process and I will come back prepared. I will think about it and give a better answer.

I came to a realization yesterday that the reason I get so upset when people assume how i am feeling is because it misguides me and then i don't get to figure out what i am feeling or truly embrace it. I get told something that wedges things apart. I will forever be haunted by my mother saying "you need this because you're vunerable" when i expressed i liked a boy. Yeah, my dad was dying, but this crush was developing before i even knew my dad was getting worse.

Anyway... because of that statement, which i am sure came from a place of concern, a wedge formed doubt in me. What if i don't like him? what if im trying to run awaybfrom things? what if, what if, what if... it makes it feel as though my feelings are shallow?

So, yeah. I am really serious about this boy and he's VERY serious about me. I have never had someone be so head over heels and reassuring before. Any anxiety i have is washed away and he communicates and takes actions and respects my boundaries. He is a goofy goober. Watches similar content. Gets my quotes, also quotes. We have similiar tastes but also different ones as well. He is fantastic! My mood talking to him improves. I ache with the thought of wanting to be next to him forever. Its super weird how comfortable i feel with him. I dont normally feel cozy with people like this. I can trust that this feeling is real.

I am tired. I need to be an adult that doesnt live at home anymore. Or with family. I need to get out so i can be my own person and be able to properly assess how i feel. Something my boyfriend is willing to understand. There is something about me trying to set a boundary and it being crossed and my boss pointinf out that he understands why i am sharp because if i am not i get overtalked that makes me have to find my voice and take action.

Okay rant over. I feel better having typed that out.

(Ps i love my mom. She is most likely trying to be helpful. She is a finicky woman and the more stories she shares about HER mom it helpsnme understand the dynamic and why she is the way she is. I can have compassion and empathy for that. I don't have to let that run my life or affect my decisions. )

i hate you for what you did and i miss you like a little kid

i miss you so much when i overtalk, you know that i talk to much, you know that sometimes i don't know when to stop, you know that i am crazy and i don't think before i talk ever, i just say the first thing that comes in my mind and that's it, i don't know when to stop, i don't know when to stop and now my head is enterring in a spiral and i don't know what to do but blame myself for my actions cause i could just shut the fuck up

i miss you cause if you were here nothing would matter,it was easy cause you were the only one i used to care about, even though it hurt

rant, kind of a vent, but not really???

my wife friend said she's distancing herself from the marauders fandom a little because she wants to write for other fandoms but said I can still send her marauders stuff and yet my fucking brain tells me no it's annoying to keep talking about it so now I feel as though I can't talk about marauders stuff and I need to monitor myself even more than I already do I fucking hate this why can't I be normal about anything she said it would be okay but I don't want to oversend things over overtalk about it and then be a bother and make it harder for her but who will I talk to about it I'm still obsessed I need someone to talk about my interests with freely and at this point I'm ruining this for myself but I can't stop the guilt I feel for mentioning anything about the fandom because I am always anxious about annoying people and I just feel like I am so fucking irritating jesus christ andthe worst thing is she'll probably see this but I need to get this out I can't tell her I don't want pity being pitied is so fucking awful oh my god

Silm reread 7: the Darkening of Valinor

So Melkor loses his shapeshifting "soon after" he runs away from Valinor (hiding from Tulkas and Orome), but when exactly? I suppose when he empowered Ungoliant. Because later he doesn't disembody or go in spirit form again.

Yes, he takes his big bad form to talk with her— and so he stays. Forever, says the book.

Ungoliant is afraid of Aman and of the Valar. :D

Melkor promises her a lot, with no intent to keep it. I feel like this may have something to do with him being so much nerfed after the situation, unable to take his power back from her (if it would be possible anyway) and almost eaten.

The Valar do like to take CoI-like forms and eat and drink (and celebrate in general I suppose). It is canon.

Feanáro is ordered to come to the party. Huh. why? who thought they had the authority to do it? the book doesn't say, so maybe it was Ingwë, this would make sense and I see why he would think it was a good idea.

Finwë is still upset, and as long as Fefe is banished, he does not want to meet his people. So again, Fingolfin doesn't feel very usurpy to me here.

…and despite being named "Wise", he overtalks Feanáro too. :( This time it doesn't result in Fefe getting upset, but in a badly worded promise.

Ungoliant eats the trees, gets so big and ugly that even Melkor is terrified of her.

Darkness mentioned again!!!

(googling the english text of this part)

The Light failed; but the Darkness that followed was more than loss of light. In that hour was made a Darkness that seemed not lack but a thing with being of its own: for it was indeed made by malice out of Light, and it had power to pierce the eye, and to enter heart and mind, and strangle the very will.

Oh. Darkness that is a thing. No, It *seems* to be a thing. (see: Theodicy and all that.)

I'll have to make a mass analysis of all the capital D Darknesses and how to connect them all (bind? no, we're not gonna do the bindy-bindy) to one concept. But I feel like they should be all facets of one thing concept.

Another thing (a thought for @dfwbwfbbwfbwf especially, I think): It's not "if". It's whenever their deeds started failing too much, Darkness fell upon them and entered heart and mind, and strangled the very will.

I don't think I'll subscribe to this HC, not fully, it makes things too easy, their hand was forced and I don't like their hand being forced.

But partially? This I will subscribe to. They did call upon something, something that seemed to be true, something that seemed to have the power to compel them. I think this reading is very close to Tolkien's intent, because it stinks of "this is how evil works".

Am I portraying Ungoliant as more evil than Melkor?

I think that at least in some aspect I am. Because she feels like something that is not entirely, well, that not entirely *is*. I don't know how to explain it better. And he was a Vala.

Can you stop being? Can you turn from a being to a non-being? I don't think so… I do not subscribe to the "Ungoliant was an uMaia" theory. I don't subscribe to any theory of "Ungoliant was [something that objectively exists]".

Ungoliant as Melkor's (self-inflicted but still real) trauma given a illusion of form by his power? Mmm. I like this one. I don't think it will be popular, but I do like it. (Or: his hatered, his jealousy, something like that, if you prefer. I don't think those are far apart from one another in this case.)

(Why is it easier to me when something evil-evil is not really real? Is it philosophy or my personality issues? Good question. I think there is some philosophy there too.)

Tulkas gets paralyzed by the spider-induced Darkness and Orome gets a "silence" spell on him. So, not only Melkor is defeated by a spider, he's just the most defeated.

Hello! It's the talkative anon again, I never seem to catch you when games are going well for Liverpool :/ but anyway looking back at the game yesterday I can say for certain the whole team and klopp greatly underestimated the opponent. I watch a lot of serie a, I like milan a lot along with Liverpool.

So when I saw the lineup and how there wasn't a lot of thought in tactics on the field I knew it was going to be rough. One thing the serie a does well amongst other things is out technical teams as we say yesterday. And when klopp made a joke about only knowing about the food in Italy I cringed, no team at this point should be brushed off and that was clear on the pitch.

I don't know if the magic of klopp's last season wore off but the team looks flat and uninspired and I'm tired of the missed chances. Don't know how many more times I can say that before something clicks. The man u game clearly was not a gut check for this team and someone(s) need to step up and turn things around or no more trophies will be won

I'm really hoping Trent can do something for us but I hate putting everything on one prayer but it's come to that and I know he has that ability

Side note Domi, oh boy. His head is anywhere but in the right place. It's so frustrating to see because he used to be 100% that guy every game and now I'm like well at least he pressed this game and that's not good enough for him. He shouldn't just be a pressing merchant and applauded but that's what it seems like

Anyway long rant over! I hope you have a great day :)

Hii 🫶🏼

Anon, how I wish we could overtalk about more positive things! 😔 But my hope is not lost, I think my headloss about Thursday is officially over - although I'm still sad a bit. Hopefully in a week when we pull another cornertakenquickly or at least just score 3 and keep a clean sheet. 😭 But maybe I'm just being delusional. First they should prove themselves on Sunday, then we can talk about Europa.

You are absolutely right, Atalanta was greatly underestimated and we paid the price for it. I will admit, I'm a bit lost recently what the tactics are supposed to be - we go all out against Sparta when we are already at 5-1, but then we play Kostas who was out for months and this was his first start if I remember correctly. Yes, I know injuries and all, but at this point it's hard not to feel like we are making our own things harder. I didn't watch the pre match interview, and thank god for that, that line is just not it. 😩 It feels so repetitive at this point, acting all cocky and mighty, then faceplanting once the match starts and our opposition actually shows fire and willingness to actually win. We did this against United all this season, hells, even in the Europa earlier.

I'm also so tired that not only do we miss our chances, but recently we have been struggling to adapt when the other teams plays in a different way than previously thought. That's what happened on Thursday, and it was really painful to watch how we could barely even lead a promising attack. And you are 100% right regarding Trent. I fear for him, now everybody is acting like him (and Jota) are singlehandedly going to carry us towards the title. I would love nothing more than that to be true, but it's an awful lot of expectation to put on him after missing months due to injury. Still, if that truly happens, give him the Ballon d'Or next!! And yes, I agree with Domi too. He's just incredibly frustrating to watch at the moment. I have been watching him for a while now - although obviously not this much before - and seeing him play with so little confidence is truly so weird to see. I hope he can pick himself together, he is just as needed for the rest of the season as anyone else. We all need them back, hungry, fired up and ready to do their best.

meta • mental profile :: ADHD  a chunk is under the cut because this ended up being 3 pages. it's not even all i wanted to talk about. ask to tag if i don't tag something !!

　　gen was diagnosed early, at about 6 years old, but only due to her father stepping in and refusing to let it go unchecked. they had been struggling in school to a severe degree, getting into fights, having breakdowns over tiny little things that to her made sense to break down over, and couldn't seem to keep friends if she was even able to make them. her mother fought against it, refused to accommodate it, denied it up until her death.

　　gen has known since she was diagnosed that she has adhd. still, never getting proper or remotely adequate assistance or help made it hard for her to accept that the majority of her "bad" behaviors were related. once she was able to do her own research, she pieced things together, but going through life unmedicated and continuous gaslighting attempts left a considerable impact on how she handles it all. 

　　therapy helps, meds help, but she still struggles day to day. emotional regulation, object permanence, and RSD are the primary things that cause the most issue, she has frequent crying episodes that seem to just come out of nowhere, forgets things constantly even if she's just seen it / interacted with it, and has a hard time dealing with others even begin slightly upset with her/ feeling like she's done something to push someone away. if it gets too intense, she withdraws. she flees.

　　she has rage episodes that are heightened by not just trauma but also her powers. a lot of it is tied to control and losing it. also feeling super overwhelmed / too tired. sometimes it's just because she hasn't eaten that day, or one too many things has happened and she can't handle it.  she will lash out if everything gets to that specific and undefined level of too much, and depending on the situation this can be verbal or sometimes physical.

　　90% of the time, physical reactions are directed at herself. she'll throw things / break things, though this is more a thing when she's younger. she does not use this as an excuse for any hurt or upset she might cause another person, but it is an explanation and a reason. they have been working on this in therapy for around 9 years, ever since her mother died and she was able to get help.

　　ALONG WITH THIS - she has a hard time with remembering dates no matter how important they might be. they forget they need to go to the bathroom, need to eat, need to blink at times. it's all very frustrating to them and they have a hard time letting others help them with all of it. she had to do it all on her own growing up, anytime she did let someone close it was just an inevitable that they would give up. it would get to be too much. so somewhere along the way she just... stopped asking for help. it never felt like anyone could hear her no matter how loud she screamed so, she just decided to save her energy, save herself from the hurt of not being listened to. shut off. 

　　they have their coping skills and some are good some bad, as she gets further into therapy there's an increase in the good and a decrease in the bad, but, some are still there. 

　　they have a tendency to get attached to others, they don't like it, and when things go too well or are too good, she bolts. she's working on this, at least to a degree. it isn't just the attachment but also the need for novelty, for something new that constantly pushes her to running and finding something that can fill a little empty part of her, and it hurts them to do it but they don't know how else to handle it. they do not and will never intentionally want to hurt someone that they love. it just happens sometimes, and she has to deal with the fallout, and it hurts. 

　　her overtalking and overexplaining is both due to the adhd and cptsd, but, it's mostly just how she expresses feeling comfortable. if she's able to just talk without filtering the speed or length at which she talks, it means she feels like she's in a safe space to do so. most of her hyperfixations are things that she won't share unless she's close to a person, they're on the odder side of things, but there are some that are really the only thing she wants to talk about the majority of the time.

　　 they will shove into a conversation at incorrect times, so, they do sometimes have a tendency to not talk. if they don't know how to enter a conversation, they'll avoid it, and if they don't there's a high chance she'll start talking over the other person. she doesn't intend to do this and ends up overapologizing for it.

　　she is not afraid to talk about her struggles and her diagnosis, she encourages others to talk about theirs, but does understand if it's not something someone wants to discuss. they do, from time to time, slip into a doom / rumination mode. it's something that she just has to ride out. all she needs is someone to support that she's having a hard time, not try and fix it all immediately.

　　there's a lot more to it all, but, this is some of the more important big things. i'll talk about the smaller things in another post.

▪︎ IPKKND Ep 2 recap : First prejudice and misunderstanding

" You should've made a mistake looking at your status. "

Such offensive words coming from his mouth but the look in his eyes is strangely soft, he's still at this moment very much captivated by her, his eyes/actions as i said earlier will always betray his thoughts, not his words.

I think Barun Sobti is making a very great job at showing how Arnav is actually still in this moment trying to win over the very strong effect Khushi has has on his character, Arnav.

"- If I don't get there on time, then her marriage might get cancelled - Then, let it get cancelled"

This is how Arnav triggered Khushi for the first time : by denying her sister's access to happiness.

This is what's started her strong prejudice against him. And her reaction is to overtalk in hurry (her anxiety is starting to hit her just after the triggering situation).

"I know girls of your category, if one goes you can have another one"

What Khushi doesn't know yet is that Arnav is misunderstanding her because of his past experiences with women who only approached him for his wealth. He can't trust people easily.

" - You are talking rubbish about my sister ! If someone would said the same thing about your family then? If your sister's mariage got cancelled then?"

Here is the first time Arnav got triggered by Khushi: by making him remember the worst traumatic event of his life.

This is what's started his strong mistrust about her. And his reaction is extreme anger (that anger is almost like a panic attack).

What Arnav doesn't know is that Khushi's family is the only reason she didn't chose to live her life with hatred against the world/god when her parents died.

She feels so grateful of them for taking care of her, even if they don't always treat her as "real" family. She'll fight anyone who insult her them !!

What's really interesting (the writing is honestly incredible) is that from the first meeting and after those strong exchanges of deep stares which seem to open up on their true selves and vulnerabilities, they already knows inconsciously how to hurt each other, as if they recognize a same pain in each other eyes (barun and sanaya eyes are incredibly expressive) !

" I haven't started misbehaving. "

Arnav clearly is insinuating a se×ual harassment to scare her even if he's only pretending to push her away. The first big flaw of this series for me was this scene, so disgusting and frankly so unecessary. YIKES.

Arnav's unexpected attraction for khushi's hair begins here lol

The dude is already in awe of her beauty, his lost gaze is only the testimony of his mind trapped by his own captivation and his strong attraction towards her ! 😏

Random Plea for Advice. I've recently started dating again, and I hate it.

How do connect with new people when they are either talking so much that you can never speak, or they don't offer any conversation that you run out of things to say?

Wow, I'm probably not the best person to ask about this, but hopefully some others will have better advice.

I've always found that having a neutral thing to do on a date - like miniature golf, darts, billiards, any activity like that - really helps regulate the conversation. Like, you can talk about the activity at a regular pace if things get into a lull, or it also helps shut up an overtalker, because they'll concentrate on the activity, and then maybe you can talk about yourself a little.

However, if a person isn't letting you say anything on the first date, that usually doesn't get better. You want a person who knows how to listen as well as talk.

Can I please have an Attack on Titan,Genshin Impact and Bungo Stray Dogs matchup? I’m a straight female, 20, introverted, an ISFJ and an Aquarius. I have brown wavy hair and blue eyes. Im a loyal, empathetic, quiet, shy and friendly person. I love to joke around and laugh. I’m sarcastic and make friendly comebacks to my friends’ banter. I’m insecure abt myself and struggle to acknowledge my achievements, often downplaying them and comparing myself to others. Im a good listener and have been told that I’m good with advice and comforting other people. I’d like people to listen to me too but I find it hard to voice my concerns or problems to my friends. I can be overtalked in group settings too due to my quiet nature around larger groups. I’m chattier around less people/people I’m comfortable with. I’m very accepting and laidback and always eager to learn. I can get quite anxious before social situations due to my shyness, but once I’m in conversation I’m fine. I’m doing a course that’ll lead a career in rehabilitative healthcare. Likes: Reading, Drawing, Chatting, Going on walks & Singing. Dislikes: Spicy food, the dark, bugs, especially wasps. Thanks xx

Hi Anon! Thank you for your request! Sorry it took a while. I hope you like your matchups!

In Attack on Titan, I match you with...

Jean is nothing if not loyal, especially to those he cares about. It's also something he looks for in a partner so he's very grateful that you're so loyal as well.

Since you struggles to acknowledge your achievements, expect to have your own personal cheer squad whenever you need it. Jean will call Connie and Sasha in and they'll do their best to make sure you see all the best parts of you.

I see Jean as someone who really likes chatting, especially with someone he likes. He's a good balance of a talker and a listener so the conversation flows easily.

Will get rid of any and all bugs for you. It makes him feel like a protector, even if he knows you don't need one. But if the bug's too big he'll close the door first. No need for you to see him dodging away from the bug when it makes a sudden move.

Please sing for him. He loves the domesticity of it and will hum along if he knows the song. It's a nice memory for both of you.

In Genshin Impact, I match you with...

I see Chongyun as someone who struggles with insecurity as well. If you're willing to show him support when he needs it, he would more than happily do the same for you in return.

He admires your ability to give good advice. He struggles with understanding a problem enough to find a suitable solution so he thinks yours is a good quality to have.

Loves going on walks with you. Wherever you want to go, he's happy with as long as it's reasonably safe and you can be together.

Since you can sometimes be talked over, Chongyun will do his best to make sure he listens carefully to anything you have to say. He values your opinion and wants you to know that.

Definitely with you on disliking spicy food. On the plus side, at least he knows the best places around town to get a flavourful but non-spicy meal together.

In Bungo Stray Dogs, I match you with...

Atsushi loves that you're so laidback! It's a really nice change from everyone he has to work with on a daily basis and it let's him unwind a bit as well.

He's really appreciative that you're a good listener. He's usually the listener in most conversations so talking to you gives him a chance to get a lot of things off his chest.

Atsushi definitely understands struggling to voice your problems so he'll do his best to identify any problems before you have to say something about them. He's pretty observant but might need some help at times.

He really loves reading with you. Whatever you're reading, he'll either read over your shoulder or pick up a copy of his own so you can talk about it together. He'd also love it if you read aloud to him but won't force anything.

He also really likes watching you draw (assuming of course that you're okay with that). Atsushi enjoys seeing the process from start to finish and observing the piece come together. He finds it relaxing.
