#due to the rules of the world?

it’s that no one ever believed him that gets to me the most. this is a society of telepaths. and yet when the doctor finds out that the drums are real, he’s surprised. the master is surprised, elated, by the confirmation that he’s hearing something that’s really there, that this thing that’s been following him and hurting him for so long is real.

after a certain point, given that the master is Really Fucking Good at mind control and such, you have to imagine that no one could just pick up on the noise in his head with a little general telepathy. he had to choose to let the doctor in to share it. and. and okay. we need to put aside him striving to be The Best At Controlling People’s Minds in the context of him having his mind violated as a child because if i think about these two things in relation to each other i’ll throw up.

but there has to have been a point before he was so accomplished that he couldn’t have defended his own mind as easily. that he couldn’t keep someone, anyone, from delving into his head and hearing the drums. which means i must conclude, because we find out who put them in his head at all and it’s the most powerful guy on gallifrey, that when he was younger, the people around him did know. they could hear the drums. they could figure out what was done to him. but they did nothing, they said nothing, they told him he was hearing things. because if the lord president wanted to use a child for his own ends, who was going to stand up and stop him? easier to sweep it under the rug. and the master lived with that for so long that finally having just one other person hear the drums was a shock to him.

Gotta love how the hsr MC has nothing but to find their own identity due to the lack of their past and who they were

and then they decided that who they want to be is someone that sorts through the trash cans and causing chaos everywhere they go

[highraccoon]

tell me you have no reading comprehension without telling me

How Baghra tells Aleksander that everyone else is dust compared to the two of them and that the grisha always die because no one is as strong as the two of them then Aleksander tells Alina that he’ll strip away all that she knows till she has nothing but him and they’re all they will need is great like damn the apple does not fall far from the tree

"The 'me' that you see wasn't enough, so you leave."

I posted another art here before relating Sigma's relationship with [Spoiler man] and why it destroyed me from the inside out HAHAHA

but this time im adding some not-so-tiny rant under here bc their strained relationship is so personal to me IM SORRY BOYS FOR RUINING YOU but this is an AU anyway so i get to go ham

(also fuck it im revealing spoiler man)

"Haru no Sekibaku" / "The Desolation of Spring" is one of my early Inabakumori songs which depicts thrown away relationship/friendship. Depends on how you see it, the singer laments but also cursed the relationship and the person who left them once their use ran out and, well,

Sigma's whole thing since MCSS has always been a 'tool' initially. He is appointed to serve Raha and to prioritize their happiness over himself. While Raha was thankful for his 110% effort, there was no actual reciprocation for all that effort, while Sigma wished to share a more 'special' relationship with someone who he thinks has feelings for him.

In a way, he expected Raha to love him/show love back to him, whereas Rahauel/Steven does not do the same due to their initial position and the trouble it would bring.

(TBHHHHH my plans for Sigma was initially different than who he is now. Aka, i didnt really plan this out properly since Sigma was supposed to just be a yandere trope villain who appears time and time again. I DIDNT MEAN TO MAKE HIM FLESHED OUT INITIALLY. MY GOD, HE WAS PLANNED TO BE A SHALLOW VILLAIN BFSGVFDSF which is why all this extra backstory planning were last minute, yet they are so good that i couldn't help BUT include them. It's why their conflict is so messy and confusing to me, because I think I planned it very poorly and didn't connect the dots right and ended up feeling weird about it.)

(Teehee)

bUT LISTEN the song basically just hits them right. For Sigma, it was a declaration of remorse for all the wasted effort and the useless feeling of chasing a one-sided relationship and the bitterness of having that innocent yet entitlement tarnished when Steven rejected him after the first BBQ event.

But on the other side of the coin, it also lowkey applied to Steven/Raha, who did their best to be accepted by an uncaring mother who wanted nothing but tangible results and victory over everything.

So all that remains are lingering feelings, yet also a bridge burnt to the ground from both ends.

And what makes it worse is that Sigma refuses to talk to Steven out of that bitterness, disappointment, and also ego after saying he will leave Svallin forever. On the other hand, Steven avoids him out of guilt, or puts on a mask and throwing shallow quips at Sigma whenever they meet because he realized the severity of what he did and weighed by guilt over it, thinking he deserves someone better instead of babysitting a weak, 'helpless' asshole like him.

Just kiss already.

You think they are already married?

no dude we would know. that's public record in the UK and people still monitor it.

Rikuo's night form appears older than his day form because 13 is the age of maturity for yokai, so when he's a yokai he's closer to an adult & therefore looks more like 17 or so.

however, after 13, yokai aging seems to slow down Drastically, so like, do you think that after he's well into his adult years (by human standards) his night form will continue to look 18ish. 45 year old nura rikuo working long hours at the office and coming home to unwind and aging backwards 20+ years for six hours.

Okay, after much deliberating, I think I have my astrology headcanons for Simbar.

Simón: Sagittarius Rising, Pisces Sun, Libra Moon

Ámbar: Scorpio Rising, Leo Sun, Leo Moon

(yes, double Leo, nothing else seemed to fit, sorry)

You'll all be happy to know that these moons are very compatible! 👀

Simón was originally Leo Rising in my mind because there's something about his demeanor that just screams Fire Sign to me, but upon much deliberation, I gathered that he doesn't care enough about his image to be Leo. I still needed something fiery there though, because he tends to get very confrontational when it comes to defending his friends and what he thinks it's right, so I did some research, and apparently Sagittarius have a rep for being self-righteous, so I was like, "Oh, okay, perfect!" 😂 The one thing that doesn't fit is that they tend to be kind of commitment-phobic, but I think that just gets nullified by his other placements, especially his Libra Moon because Libras literally crave a partner.

I think Ámbar's Scorpio Rising comes out in, one, her magnetic presence, and two, her reluctance at showing vulnerability. Scorpios will need to really trust a person to really open up. There's also the death-and-rebirth energy that always comes with Scorpio, which, we can all agree Ámbar went through throughout the show, and last but not least, the grudge-holding 😂

The Leo for Ámbar I think it's pretty obvious, so no explanation needed there. Simón's Pisces can be summarized in Tortured Poet energy 😂 Very creative, tends to suffer a lot, sometimes it feels like they even like to suffer, but they gather a lot of artistic inspiration from it. They're very emotional, compassionate, kind souls. And seriously, ARTISTIC. Pisces eat and breathe art.

There's also these paragraphs I found if you want to read them:

I might change my mind about any of these placements in the future, but for the time being, I'm content with this.

Had a productive hour and a half! Knocked out my methods, results, and figures (the easy part of this paper). Now to find more sources so I can have a cogent introduction and discussion…

Marvel Mystery Comics (1939) #7

[imaginarianisms]

1 day i will make a meta of sansa's dynamic with her metaphorical champions/suitors & how that correlates to the ashford theory (i.e sansa being betrothed to joffrey baratheon, then promised to willas tyrell, then being married to tyrion lannister, then being married to harry hardying then married to aegon vi targaryen & aurane velaryon but it is not this day. lmao. when i make that meta it'll be so over for y'all.

@amalanexus replied to your post:

Dante - Smooch & Ask on a Date. Casually gonna break the rules and pick two choices tbh.

Guess which legendary devil hunter is getting a smooch back along with quite the strong bear hug! "When and where for the date, babe? You know my schedule's clear for you!"

[daniclaytcn]

I agree with you on all those buddie moments. Especially eddie touching bucks shoulder in 5x01. Like... thats such a normal common platonic thing to do. If you're manouvreing around someone and getting up from a crouch in a tight spot of course youre gonna touch their shoulder. Sometimes the way people read certain buddie interactions im like... have your ever interacted with people in real life? Its just perfectly normal friendly interactions. I understand the instinct to look into every frame for a deeper meaning but sometimes people act like it couldn't possible be explained in a non-romantic way

Sorry rant over. Love buddie analysis generally but sometimes I'm like "come on guys"

yeah...i mean, to be fair, we all have a very specific type of blinders on when it comes to the ships we like and it's no use pretending otherwise, so we're all likely to have done this at some point, whether we realize it or not. and it IS fun to freak out and obsess over the little things! but it is a little weird when people start insisting that [insert very normal and platonic thing] is definitely romantic and can't be anything else. i mean, it all depends on the kind of boundaries each individual draws between romance and friendship—what might be romantic for some wouldn't be romantic for others. lol.
