LOCATION: the salty sailor bar STATUS: closed / emma cicciaro @amadouers

safiyah knows emma will be at work. perhaps that's why, on her night off, she's found herself here. life had been completely monotonous since summer vacation came to an end, and if there was someone who knew how to put some spice back into her life, it would be emma cicciaro. she knows her shift is coming to a close, but she still spots her behind the bar, so she plops herself down on a stool and attempts to flag her down.

The mischaracterization of Neil being extremely feminine, submissive and like only and ALWAYS a bottom (that last part is debatable if you considered the EC) isn’t just annoying it’s weird and fetishy.

Let’s get one thing out of the way, hc characters as being more gender non conforming 👍👍👍👍👍

(I’m a gender non conforming man myself)

however

Neil is literally constantly called a brat and a shit starter. I’d highly doubt it if he was always submissive in bed especially after years of being with Andrew and they’ve both healed a lot. 

Neil’s femininity is interesting, personally I think he doesn’t mind it at all but picks masculinity because it’s what he was raised with and it’s easier to blend in with. Like he’s always been a strong woman defender and let Allison put makeup on him and like Andrew dress him up no questions asked so I personally think he doesn’t mind it but he’s not super feminine at least not until years of coming to terms with body, not trying to avoid a second gaze ect. There’s nothing wrong with hc as gender non conforming.

I won’t talk about the bottoming part as much bc people still debate if the EC should be taken into account, however it’s assumed that he will be the bottom when they get there due to Andrew’s trauma.

The problem is when all of these things are put together it’s weird. Separately they can exist and be harmless. Tying to make a mlm character super feminine, submissive and shit purely because he’s seen as the bottom is so weird. It’s giving who’s the man and who’s the woman in the relationship.

I was gonna post this anon but fuck it we ball 🧍‍♂️

Why am I seeing so many people saying a spin-off/trilogy is not necessary because he's had a happy ending? Is this something widely accepted in the fandom?

Kevin, the same person that tell Jean he's still hearing Riko constantly, that the alcohol is the only thing that helps apart from exy. And also, let's talk about exy and Kevin and that being the only thing he put everything, all he is, all he has to build a life after leaving the Nest and the abuse.

Because what Nicky told Neil rings true for Kevin too, they need (yes NEED) something else apart from a sport in their lives to not fall apart. For instance, talking about Kevin, he needs for starters to start healing at some point, because he hasn't, he is not okay. And then he needs to treat his alcoholism that he is completely aware of and knows it's a band-aid to the bigger problem that is his trauma.

And to think exploring all this is not interesting enough, it is not enough to make his ending in the OG trilogy and the EC unfinished then I don't know what to tell you.

He's the one putting everything this into motion, he made sure all the people he cares about have something to live for (of course acting on his own favor too) and I think he deserves at least the idea of his recovery and healing recovery story be told.

Seeth, may I ask what kind of dtuff you'll test on me?? Or just what I should look out for when we do start experimenting, so I know if something went wrong or not

@ec-oc-haan-t

Hm? Oh, well, for starters I'll definitely be testing the pills you stole on you. Those shouldn't do much. All they are is temporary Malice suppressors, they'll slow down your malicious tendencies for a couple days at most. After that, we can move on to other stuff! You'll have to report whether any of them seem to lessen the influence of Meow, and then we'll examine the properties of those a bit closer to finally create an antidote.

*He still seems to be in a good mood, as he lines up the equipment they'll need*

To add to the complex system thing, the labels of HC-DID or EC-DID is a pretentious ass label. For starters, there has nothing been figured out as "higher" than polyfragmented systems.

Second, in terms of medical literature regarding recovery (keep in mind I'm basing my perspective on Kluft who has a heap of misinfo so I MIGHT be wrong), I don't think the complexity determines "how bad" trauma was? What I mean is, everyone copes differently towards trauma so the same people who go through the same thing will have different reactions. Polyfragmented systems while yes, do have more complex structure, their level of trauma is the same as anyone else's.

Third (let's pretend RAMCOA is a legit thing), in Kluft's 1990s paper on complex MPD, SRA survivors with complex DID have a trauma background of 36%. Incest and repeated severe abuse are HIGHER (90%). So polyfragmented systems being an "indication" of RAMCOA or commonly having RAMCOA trauma IS BULLSHIT. To entertain it more, it could be out of date and it was a small sample (100ish people I believe?) so there could be reason for it to be higher. But generally still.

I hate the inclusion of PF-DID with RAMCOA because of the amount of misinformation mixed with genuine information. It's also horrible considering the fact that it's trauma Olympic playing. Also! Forming a system is HELLA complex regardless of if someone has OSDD-1, DID, PF-DID, P-DID, etc, etc! Every system is fucking different in regards to forming alters or splitting patterns. You don't need to be special!

I don't even have anything to add. Well said anon.

Hi ❤️ I’ve uploaded FFVII Ever Crisis - Vincent’s Weapon Comparisons in English and Japanese 🔫

I’m almost done translating his weapon info from the original game, from FFVII Ultimania Omega (pgs 330-331).

I think only 3 of his original weapons have made it into the FFVII EC so far, namely:

- Quicksilver (obligatory starter weapon)

- 銀玉鉄砲/Silver Rifle (“Joke weapon” from Temple of the Ancients)

- Randall/Shortbarrel (Found out some fun trivia about this one!)

Enjoy!

[ask-evo-grian]

What if we built it into a cave? Like there's the exterior but then it goes into a cave?

Hey, RG? One of the voices in my head told me to get you a pep talk?

You okay?

- Evo!Grian, but i as the mod am refusing to anon it

Hm?

…

I am fine.

Why would I not be? Things are as they should be.

His reactiveness

Reactive and intense are not synonyms.

I guess you may wanna check this first for context, but you don't necessarily have to.

A lot of folks think of Carmy as non-reactive because he's too intense, and he is intense, sure, very, but in a reactive manner, the fire-starter is always someone else.

He's even soooo reactive as opposed to proactive, that sometimes he's even submissive. And he's OK with it, or too used to it, he feels somewhat comfortable taking that sub role, whether it is with Donna so she gets off his back, or with Michael, with EMP's EC, or with Claire, etc, he becomes a pushover or a bomb💣, no balance. But that's always as a reaction, it's not proactive, he reacts to stimuli in those 2 different ways as a default. He sometimes opposes it with all his might, in a very Carmy way, and becomes defensive, even aggressive:

or he succumbs to it, which on the outside can even look like he's cooperating with it, but he's not, he's reacting in a submissive way, to avoid the alternative, which he deems "more inconvenient" at the time (defense mechanism), so he rather takes the submissive role in those cases.

This, in his particular case, leads to bottled-up aggression and pain that come out in the most destructive and unhealthy ways, such as panic attacks, sleepwalking, workaholism, chain-smoking, anger fits in other situations that don't necessarily call for that, which he overreacts to, etc.

All of this is a result of his upbringing and the fact that his caretaker and father figure were addicts, ofc. I have already mentioned that a long time ago, but in his case, it always bears repeating because it is the cause of his C-PTSD, which is basically what frames all of the aforementioned behaviors and dysfunctional habits. (I lightly touched this subject in one of my fics too). Not that he doesn't have other co-diagnoses that are part of his overall psychological makeup and also have an impact on his life, granted, but C-PTSD is by far the most comprehensive.

If you have time to read his monologue, I strongly suggest you do, JAW's acting is UNBELIEVABLE but reading it and re-reading it gives it a whole new dimension. Storer is my spirit animal. He wrote an ode to PTSD and in Carmy's case, it's the C subtype because it was not triggered by just one event, but by repetitive trauma. Here it is:

My point is: Of course, he needs to address all of that, but even if he did, since the reactiveness is deeply rooted in him now, it's part of his very own personality, not just an acquired habit, he won't be able to change that, he will have to learn to cope and work with it, so it doesn't limit him anymore. We can all get treatment or change, but no one changes personalities. Ever.

He will have to learn to deal with it in healthier and more adaptative ways. There are multiple ways to do that and go about it, therapy is just one of them, but not the only one. The great news is that it can definitely be done if there's a will, but it's important to point out that it will not disappear, as that reactiveness is in his nature at this point. Because it started in his formative years, very early childhood, etc. It will be expressed differently, he will have more control over it, and it may shift its form to a point where he could even use it as one of his strengths, but it will never magically or clinically go away. Full stop. It's important to have realistic expectations to avoid unnecessary frustration and to be happier with a result that even exceeds our expectations if it eventually comes to it. Like I wish it did for Carmy, by the end of the series.

Now, let's call it what it is: He will never be the "proactive Carmy", functional hero, fully together male-lead that some envision he becomes for Syd and because of her.

That's not in his nature.

Realistically speaking, not to mention Storer-friendly speaking, he can improve, sure! And he will and I'm positive about that, as I mentioned here and here, she will have a crucial role in that evolution because Sydney is the plot twist, he is the plot. But Carmy will not become someone else.

He is and will always be Carmen Anthony Berzatto, The Bear, with all the light and shadow aspects that entails.

And quite frankly, I love that, chefs because we are all a work in progress, just like him.

To Know About Sonic.Purgatory

I am glad this is already being received well, despite my initial lack of online presence. But here is some stuff about my AU, this is only a starter, I may revise alot of the information.

Hint hint: You can interact with storyline, HEHEHEHEH

The EXE

ECE is his name (till i find something better).

He is a lonely, deplorable dude. ECE hopes someone picks up his game to play it, in which he has the ability to pull their soul into the game. He doesn’t even wait for them to finish it, ECE is impatient. Even sometimes when he feels like it, ECE will mirror the appearance of the person playing said game, he does it to freak the hell outta them.

ECE found out about the world of Sonic purely by chance.

He doesn’t view the animals – or flickies – in Sonic’s world as actual living breathing beings, only putting that subjective idea into ‘Mobians’. Hence having no guilt for killing them, however he is apprehensive when it comes to the souls, to the characters themselves. Though, when your soul had been pulled into his game, ECE had heavily favored you and took a great liking to you.

ECE likes to chase the survivors, running into Green Ring after Green Ring. He finds it fun. 

The Survivors ( or Victims )

You were new and fresh, joining after ECE had taken over the whole of the world. You just wanted to go home and go to sleep. You eventually learn more later down the line. In a way, you as the player are the only one capable of things the other survivors/victims aren’t.

Tails is inevitably already a Souls Guardian, he has the smarts and somewhat decent speed but he didn’t have the strength to outdo ECE. He is young and was not trained for combat, only working from behind the scenes and lending a hand in most situations when he can. 

Knuckles is alive, though he took it upon himself to protect anyone that is alive and well that he comes across. He is distressed enough as it is about this situation, he managed to fight off ECE for now, but Knuckles is incredibly riled up enough – he’s riddled with paranoia. Though he manages to stay calm more often than not.

Eggman has the corpse of Tails’ in a stasis chamber, for now the body is alive at most; he is trying to find a way to bring back Tails. Though the Doctor has not been face to face with ECE just yet, he prefers to stay at a distance, he partook in a temporary truce with Knuckles (though the echidna was skeptical at first because of how Ivo had manipulated him before). Eggman is putting his time into gathering information, as much as he hates doing so. 

STOP:

Souls Guardian, what are they? They are victims of ECE, though he cannot control the more strong willed victims. Weak-minded ones become puppets, no free will whatsoever. The ones who have a stronger will can resist against it, the game is beginning to recognize ECE is not part of it. So it offers the strong-willed victims pathways to help those alive to get away, and to temporarily risk guardianship against ECE (much to his disdain). 

The world is technically more or less alive, in only something that doesn’t belong that disturbs its forever sleep. 

ECE had gone rogue against his makers and had injured them majorly, as originally he was organically designed to be something made to help the good of people. He used to be real before he had gone digital, finding it fun to interact with digital spaces.

From the moment ECE had entered Sonic’s world, the space had reacted badly. So he had manipulated the reality, fabricated it to his liking.

”i mean i definitely get that hayes brings a vet presence i just need becky to really work on her lineups and figure out who fits in with who. because whenever kate was the first one off the bench subbing in for AC, they all played soooo well together. i just need her to figure out her sweet spots ig”

that’s what I’m saying. The players expecting KM, and they get Hayes. Having Hayes, KP and JY is not a good mix because they’re all going to try and score first instead of looking to A’ja first. Those 3 together on the court or 2-3 of them on the court look off open players so many times it’s annoying AF. A good combo was: AW, KP, AC, KS, KM or AW, KP, JY, KM, AC. Please tell me why the bench today the last few mins had better ball movement than the starters? (EC, KM, SC) were moving the ball well together. And my theory has been proven right that when Kate is open and she asks for the ball, she will make that shot.

BRO IK. when becky put the bench in they played kinda better than the team had been playing all game. the ball movement was there and they got their shots. i was sitting there like where was this when we needed it 😭

New Student says Alola! (Closed Starter)

A new student had arrived to Naranja Academy. Even in the school uniform, she was very flashy with her island tan and dyed purple hair. Her bag was covered in pins and was a very flashy pink. She was so friendly to everyone. Everyone was already on good terms on the first day! It was a class later in the day that Nemona would see this new student. It was Home Ec. They were pairing up to learn how to prepare a simple chili.

New girl didn't have a partner yet!

[dewprisms]

we're really on that part where people insist you need to vote 3rd party in a country where EC makes that impossible to change anything huh

questions

is that the first time ryoga has had to extinguish a fire in the home ec room ? (something tells me rokuta is a serial fire starter lol… or at least theres a bad smell/smoky smell coming from the club room because of rokutas lack of cooking skill)

why is ryoga panting? did he run all the way from the dojo to the home ec room just to put out the fire??? by the way he’s dressed i’d guess this is the case

ARE he and rokuta dating and ryoga went to save his bf
