#either if you see them platonicly or romantically

Then let us delay no further

[ur-mentallyill-wench]

Ok so this is actually 100% ripped of from this post

But I just changed it around a bit and wanted to put my spin on it :) this takes place season 5 but let’s pretend Troy never left. I know it’s cringe and bad I can’t write and sorry it’s so long

Setting- Pretty much the same, the Dean rented out a venue for a dance only this time it’s a valentine dance however on a “coincidence” they get stuck with said bisexual lighting that Abed will make his comment on

Background/ cold open- of course no dance at Greendale would be complete without alternative motives, this one being the Dean trying to get Jeff as his date to said dance (I don’t ship them but I think the Dean liking him is funny). To go along with this plot you aren’t let into the dance without a date, the Dean makes sure to make it clear it doesn’t have to be a real date (cue aggressive cueing to Jeff) In the end Jeff and Britta and up being each others fake dates seeing as they hadn’t been spending but time together, leaving Troy, Abed, and Annie (Shirley isn’t going)

A plot- Troy instinctively turns to Abed pitching to go as fake dates, seeing as they did nearly everything together and it’s not like either of them had a girlfriend. To this Abed would agree although he’d say something along the lines of “or maybe we could try and get dates, I mean spending time with you is great but we’ve been going to school here for 5 seasons with not end in sight, we may as well try to get girlfriends considering neither of us have had a real relationship” (cue offended gasp from britta). This makes Troy upset for whatever reason, he knows Abed is right but he’d rather just go with Abed then bother finding a date, with this he turns to his next best option, Annie, who is more then enthusiastic to go with him despite being over him she’s still gitty. Abed ends up going with Rachel, this once again makes Troy feel certain way but he still can’t put his thumb on it, Annie immediately notices something’s up and brings up the idea that it has something to do with Abed. Troy would say something along the lines of, “I really don’t know, I think your great and I should be estatic to have a date with someone a good as you but I can’t stop thinking about him, like how could he pull her this easy and get along with her so good, I’ve never even heard of this girl”. At this point Troy is completely detached from his “date” with Annie and is now ranting about how there’s no way Rachel is better then him or good enough for Abed while Annie just stares at him knowingly. Of course with Annie’s help Troy comes to the realization that even id he can’t put his finger ong why he wants to be with Abed, whether platonicly or romantically he wants to be with him. The night goes on like this, Troy occasionally going over to talk to Rachel about Abed before sulking back to Annie. Over the course of the night and talking to Rachel Troy gets increasingly mad that Abed doesn’t seem to care until the point on him storiming up to Rachel and airing out shit about abed (he’s controlling, trackers in his friends, uses people) and so on until Abed comes up on them and Rachel tells Abed something and storms out, leaving Abed to turn to Troy distraught. He’s says something about how he really liked her and Troy confesses that even if he doesn’t know want it is he’s drawn to Abed and wants to spend the rest of his life with him, he doesn’t want to be boyfriends or anything it he doesn’t want to see Abed leave him, Abed would say something along the lines of, “I don’t know how to take this but if there’s anyone I’d want to spend the rest of my life with it’s you, and we can make out own thing up it’s what we do anyway” more emotional dialog that I’m not smart enough to write but it ends in them kissing to bisexual lighting glaring around them and the song Somewhere Out There playing in the background

B plot- Jeff and Britta end up going to the dance together, I don’t have much to say here but it ends up it them saying how they’ve missed spending time together (I ship them in a they keep getting divorced and getting back together way) but they end up having a good time together. Also Jeff finds the Dean sulking and they end up sharing a dance together

C plot- not much here but I think it would be funny to have Chang and Duncan trying to pick if ladies to go to the dance but they end up wasting all there time with no ladies wanting them (just some funny bar scenes idk)

Ending scene- Troy and Abed telling people they’re dating of course with “Troy and Abed are dAtInG” a shocked gasp from Shirley and Annie (Annie knew) and britta giving Jeff twenty dollars for losing the bet of wether they’d get together

Uuuuuuh idk if you want these kinds of asks on main if not just lmk

Anyway. For ur consideration. Alfyn accidently confessing when he says 'I love you' during sex. Therion probably rolls with it until it's done when he teases Alf about it but uh. He's very embarrassed. More embarrassed than someone who just Says Shit during sex would be. Or maybe he stops everything right when it happens, not on purpose it just shocks him so much he's like 'what'

Either way he's ultimately not like. Against it. Just surprised (and maybe a little guilty, feeling like he tricked Alfyn into having real feelings for him somehow).

Oh man depending on other factors I can also see Therion like... not taking it seriously/being in denial over it as well. (It has been a long time since he's been shown love/care- the emotional whiplash of expecting abuse and getting kindness instead is real. Platonicly or Romantically.) And like you say, it's not that he's against it! It's just unexpected.

Meanwhile once the dam breaks and the confession is out there and accepted I can see Alfyn saying 'I love you' a LOT. He's very affectionate- though it could be a bit overwhelming for Therion early on since he's not used to that sort of attention.

At any rate I am Rotating Thoughts of Them. Gosh could you imagine it not even being the first time Alfyn has confessed- like he's done so a dozen times over while drunk and Therion never took it seriously (and then Therion just doesn't call attention to it and it's up in the air if Alfyn remembers or not)

Part 2 to this (I seriously need to stop writing accidental multichapter fics...)

Loki x female!reader

Word count: 1,7K

Warnings: typos (as always), angst, fluff (it's there, I promise!)

Tag list: @gaitwae @lucywrites02 @hard-to-be-the-bard @birdgirl90 @laramoonworld @forevernthensome @kozkaboi

A/N: this is really messy, i'm sorry

'You have always been like a little sister I always wanted. I'm so sorry, we can still be friends'

For some unknown reason he kept having dreams about that one evening. 'Dreams,' he would scoff, 'more like nightmares.' They always end horribly. Either with you never talking to him again out of shame or him delivering those lines not so gently.

Loki couldn't understand why he kept dreaming about it. About her. How the light in her eyes slowly died when he told her. He told her the truth, right? It was the right thing to do, right?

*

She was hanging out with that soldier again. Loki's mouth twisted into disgusted grimace when he spot how he put his arm around her shoulders, how she held the single dandelion he gave her. A dandelion? Please, he couldn't really fall that low to give a lady some common weed, could he? A lady with such charm and class like Y/N deserves a dozen roses for every day she blessed this world with her smile and laugh.

Loki's eyes widened. Why was he thinking of her like that so suddenly? He never thought of her like that before. No. She's just a friend. Like his little sister. That's what he told her. She believed him. Now he has to believe it himself.

*

Sudden rain drove Loki away from his new favourite sitting spot in the corner of the garden. The oak stump. If only he kept a part of the tree. A twig or a leaf. He would've carried it around like a talisman. Or acorn, so he could grow another oak, even though it wouldn't be the same one.

His mind was on autopilot, he didn't even realize his legs carried him to your bedroom door. He stood there like a statue. Listening for any sounds. For any voices. He heard nothing. You must be somewhere else. That realization made him even more anxious. You could be with that soldier again. He can't have that.

He walked to only place he could always find you: library. As he wanted to open the heavy door you ran into him, colliding into his chest.

"Sorry-" your relax expression changed when you looked up into his eyes

"Hi," he smiled softly.

"Hello," you greeted, but without a smile. You tried to walk by him when he stopped you with his hand on your shoulder.

"Why are you running away from me?"

"I'm not. It's just.... this," you gestured between him and you, "it's awkward."

"Oh, so you avoid me, your oldest friend, and spend your entire day with Hofferson then," Loki crossed his arms on his chest.

"Aren't you supposed to be on a date or something?" you pushed yourself pass him, poison in your voice.

"Aren't you supposed to spend some time with me too?"

"I can't Loki. I'm trying to get rid of all of my feelings for you! I can't be near you if I want it to work!" you nearly screamed in his face.

Those words hurt Loki more than he thought. "Getting rid of ALL feelings? So you're trying to hate me then."

"No! Understand that I can't be friends with someone I love!"

"Platonic love exists too, you know," Loki remarked.

You rolled your eyes. "Whatever. I don't want to argue with you anymore, I'm going."

"Where?" he asked as you escaped him.

"To someone that cares about me, and not just platonicly!" you shouted behind your back and ran.

*

He hasn't had a word or a single alone time with you since then. You were always near that soldier, always talking to him, hugging him, hanging on his arm all the time.

Loki felt nausea whenever he saw Y/N with anyone but him. He wasn't used to seeing Y/N with other men, she was always near him. He missed her. Her laugh, her smile, her hugs. Everything.

No matter how many girls or boys he came across on streets, none of them could ever take your place. None of them smiled as brightly or as truly as you always did. Even when he was telling you about anyone he was interested in, you still smiled and wished him well with the person. You wanted him to be happy, even if it hurt you.

So why can't he do the same? Be happy you're with someone who will love you? Instead he grits his teeth whenever he sees the two of you together. Why does he want you all to himself? Why the thought of you being with someone else makes him throw up?

Loki sighed and held his head in his hands. It is true what they say. You'll realize you love somebody only after you lose them.

*

He felt like a coward. Standing in front of your bedroom door, with heart anxiously pounding in his chest.

Loki took a deep breath and knocked. No one answered. You must be out again. With him.

He shook the thought away and opened the door. If anything, he'll at least be able to give you a message without having to look into your eyes. While he was looking for a piece of paper and a pen around your room he noticed a new pot on your windowsill. It was brown and smaller than the rest with a single tiny green sprout sticking from the dirt.

Loki took the pot in his hand, it was small enough to fit into his palm. He smiled. It was so tiny and fragile. He wondered what kind of plant it was.

Before he could use one of the runes to find out a door creaked open behind him. "What are you doing here?" you asked. He was so startled by you catching him he couldn't even deduce if you were angry or surprised to see him.

"I-I wanted to talk to you," he turned towards you.

You looked at his hand. "Why are you holding it? Put it back, you might break it!" before he could even move you rushed to him, took the pot from his hand and held it close to your chest. Could one be jealous when a plant gets a cuddle but her oldest friend doesn't? Apparently Loki could.

"What do you want to talk about? If it's some noble lady I don't want to hear it," you turned your head away from him.

Loki shook his head. "No, it's not a lady."

"Some son of a sailor then?"

"No, I came here to tell you something."

You turned your head back to him. "And what is that?"

Loki took a deep breath. It's now or never. "I came to a realization. And not just a common one. I didn't think my life could be so lonely without you in it. Every single day I've missed you, longed to spend time with you again. Laugh with you. It pained me to see that Hofferson boy with you. Ever since I saw the two of you in the stables I wanted to rip you away from him. Just like I every boy you got close to in our childhood. For a long time I couldn't understand why I wanted you all to myself and no other man. But now I do. It's because I love you. Romantically. Just like you love me," he didn't look away from you. He didn't dare.

You shook your head in disapointment. "You're so selfish, Loki."

He didn't expect that answer. It was far away from anything he was expecting. All blood left his face. "Well, that's what love makes out of person. It makes them selfish, possesive."

"So how come I could let you go after your monthly interests without complaining like you did?"

Loki froze. "Y-you're apparently a better person than me," he picked on his palm.

You hummed. "So...what now?"

Loki took your lack of emotions as a rejection. He concluded he traded places with you. Now you were the one without romantic feelings and he was the one being rejected.

He couldn't keep looking at the love of his life rejecting him. He studied the pot in her hamds instead. "Now? I guess I will have to find a spell to erase all romantic feelings I have for you and wish you all the best with Hoffer-I mean Arne," he thanked all heavens above for his training that didn't let him fall apart in front of you.

You looked at him, fear in your eyes." Why would you do that?"

Loki laughed. It was a bitter one, filled with sadness. "Because you don't love me anymore."

"That's not true," you whispered.

Loki's head snapped up. "What?"

"I-I said that's not true. I never stopped, no matter how much I tried. I even saved a little part of our tree," you said softly and caressed the little sprout.

"That's from the old oak?"

You nodded. "For some reason I couldn't just cut it down and erase its whole existence."

Now Loki knows what it means when a stone falls from someone's heart. "So, that means you still love me?" he asked hopefully.

You nodded. "And you love me too?"

"Of course my love. Can we please start over again?"

"I would love to," you blessed him with your kindest, purest smile.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked a little too excited.

"No," his heart fell to the floor, "you have to kiss me."

Loki sighed from relief. He walked over to you and cupped your cheeks. From up close your eyes were even more beautiful than he noticed the first time he kissed you. He reminded himself to tell you everyday from now on.

And just like that, the history repeated itself. Loki gently placed his lips on yours in a loving kiss. Your head spinned once again just like so many years ago. And one oak tree witnessed it all.

FOR THE CHARACGER MEME pls do: law ace zoro nami >:)

OH BOI- uh- uh..!! Law:favorite thing about them: I actually have an old list of 100 reasons why I love him, but I really don’t wanna write it here bc I was 16 and I love him even more now, so uh… He’s a canon dork, and I’ve always imagined he was just as a poor scarred soul who thought he was cool and acted cool in front of the cool kids when he really just a nerd. I mean, who’s cool and collects coins??? Who just straight up tells someone they don’t like bread and then proceeds to act surprised he said hat? Because he doesn’t know what to do with himself because he’s not used to sharing his feelings publicly. I find that beautiful, & plus the way he smiles while eating soup?? A Godly view. I live every day bc he’s alive, and I always have a feeling Oda’s plans for him are death bc he’s satan, why else would he take away female’s inards to make them look thiccer and kill Ace, a boy who was lonely and abused by the people around him?A-anyway, back to LAw!! least favorite thing about them: If there was something I hated about Law (Which I dont…… …)I don’t like how he rushed into the idea of kicking Doffy’s butt. It was a greedy move, but then again, he had not much training in respect and peace of mind, as he didn’t get to be raised by his good parents. He just wanted instant revenge. He complained that Luffy was rushing into the point selfishly, yet he did too, which is fine though. Neither of them were raised with parents or guardians with self control themselves. But it’s all ok because it just shows how human they were written. favorite line: I can’t remember the exact line, but the one where Chopper asked where the kids were and Law said they he had cut them up. Iconic. What a dad move. (To Chopper.)brOTP: Chopper and Law. Or Bepo and Law. Law’s either a furry or he just really likes animals.OTP: Not to be weird or anything, but I’d marry him.nOTP: Luffy/Kid x Law bc Luffy belongs to adventure and meat, and all Kid and Law did was give each other dirty looks. (No offence but, I feel like 90% of people who ship them are the fujoshi girls and those types of people dont… make me happy,, bc aren’t fujoshi’s those gross girls who say: “My gay sin babies” ??? Or??? … and bc.. idk, something seems off about the ship..)random headcanon: Law’s a weeb and a furry. Actually, is that even a headcanon? P sure that’s canon. uh- Law really wants a spotted owl.unpopular opinion: (Pls, no one kill me ;w; but-)I don’t like how some people write Law as overly romantic as to how socially awkward he is canonly. If it’s their own AU, go right on ahead, but to me, canonly, Law’s really an inner edgelord dork nerd weeb teen who’s got a bad case of PTSD. He’d be really awkward and probably, although he’d try to act confident in everything he says, but I think it’d take him a whole lot of time to trust anyone he’d be romanticlly interested in.song i associate with them: Probably Lost Ones Weeping by Kagamine Rin or uh- This Is Home- Cavetown *sweats*favorite picture of them: *insert every canon image or google image of him* AND UH- THIS ONE IS GOOD TOO!!!!!!

He’s like… Naruto,,,???

Ace:favorite thing about them: Baby boy. Baby. Ace,,, aa…AAA.. i,,, miss him,,, my boy,,, my … boy… I,.,, he,,, he. him… He deserved the world so Akainu shoved him into it. //stabbed to deathleast favorite thing about them: If I ever said a single flaw of Ace, it’d be my evil clone saying it, or something bad happened to me. Shoot me on the spot.favorite line: Every time he said Luffy.brOTP: isn’t that just ASL???OTP: ngl, I’d die for Ace.nOTP: Marco x Ace, Marco is probably the #1 Ace dad.random headcanon: The.. reason why Ace always falls asleep is..he’s got Narcolepsy…unpopular opinion: I should have died, not Ace ;w;song i associate with them: Hide And Seek- Miku :’)favorite picture of them: Babi

Zoro:favorite thing about them: Fell in love with him (Platonicly) when I first met him when he ate those riceballs from the dirt. Iconic. I could never. What a role model. (Kids, please don’t look to him as a role model, that was a terrible line by me,please don’t do what he does. You may die or go to jail. Or both.)least favorite thing about them: ???? What??? He’s???? ???? My green son???favorite line: “I got on… The wrong ship…”brOTP: Luffy and Zorro.OTP: Honestly, Zoro belongs to everyone. Zoro is the husband character, lol.nOTP: Uh… Has anyone done something cursed as to ship him with Mihawk???? I sure hope they haven’t,,,random headcanon: The reason why Zoro always get’s lost is because he starts to think about stuff. Like, deep in though. YOu know that brain meme? That’s him. He’s thinking bout that kinda stuff probably.unpopular opinion: he should let his hair grow out a bit more. If he fluffed it a bit, he could become one with his kin. Marimo…song i associate with them: Katana-Zoro :))favorite picture of them:

Nami:favorite thing about them: She’s the queen. I don’t care what anyone says, she’s an icon to everyone. least favorite thing about them: Nothing. Nami is baby, and I love her.favorite line: I,,, the one where she wants to save the children,,!!!!brOTP: Nami and Usopp!!!OTP: Ngl, I love Sanji x Nami to death, but Nami with anyone really. Except Zoro. I don’t really see it?? nOTP: Hmmb… idk, I haven’t seen any cursed Nami ships yet.random headcanon: Nami eats so much citris she has liquid po- *immediatly dies by Sanji*unpopular opinion: Idk man, Nami’s just cool and I love her. She’s a queen.song i associate with them: Last of Me (Teto’s version)favorite picture of them:

sorry this post is long!!

[13unknownmind]

What I have to say about Supergirl... Thoughts, theories, things I see as probable to happen and some hopes that I have for next season.

Alright so I will start with a... SPOILER ALERT if you have not seen the Supergirl finally then you might want to turn back now... For those who have or just want to continue reading enjoy.

Now on to what I think.

As of today we have seen all we can until the fall so that is... Fantastic (total sarcasm) but we have to this point seen inconsistent writing and a lot of bad decisions. But we have also seen a lot of good things happen, so let's start with Sam.

Sam, has successfully stayed alive and with the help of Supergirl defeated Reign, made it back to her daughter and we will see how they go along with life next season.

I am hoping that Sam, Alex and Ruby stay in very constant contact and become the closet thing to a family that all that could be left is to actually become one, meaning a possible story line for maybe a three or so episodes where we see Alex struggling to admit her feeling for Sam do to insecurities and or her not wanting to mess up the friendship that they have now and Sam is waiting for Alex to show any sign of wanting to be more then friends cause she has accidentally fallen in love and is making sure that Alex might feel the same way then Ruby either pushes them both to do what she can clearly see they both want to do or just being extremely happy that they finally got together so she has two moms that she knows love her.

As for Alex, now that she is the director of the DEO she can cut back on the field work and make sure that she has nothing holding her back from fulfilling her dreams and living her life how she wants it to be. Like I said the Alex and Sam story would be wonderful to see as well as the possiblity of them adopting another child (that child could even turn out to be either a hero or villain in later years like a story where we see him or her come back in time like trucks in Dragon Ball Z or something) and seeing them come together even more to raise this child with the help of their friends and daughter.

Side note: it would be so amazing to see a married Sam and Alex like them going through the wedding and then Alex adopting Ruby as her own daughter. I would cry.

I would also love to see them grow as characters with each other cause we have two developed characters and we have seen both of their stories we know they are both strong and intelligent woman who can and will do anything for the ones they love and we have seen them both get to a point where they can grow both together and apart and I am so looking forward to seeing what the writers do... I hope they do not screw this up.

Now this is a character that we saw leave a little while back Maggie now this is something that a lot of people would call me crazy for saying so thank you now moving on, I think that whether or not they make Alex and Sam a thing which they should I think Maggie coming back into Alexs life would be a nice twist to the somewhat predictable show overall now think for a second two or three scenarios pop into my head so let's go over them.

Scenario Numero Uno-

Maggie pops back in and tries to get Alex back and see if they can work things out cause let's be for real if anyone was watching the same thing I was when they parted ways neither one of them wanted to let go of the other and let's be real with ourselves for a moment we was all saying "NO DON'T GO" and it would be a little bit of added drama for Alex to deal with and get through and hey if they set it up correctly this could be a lead up to the Sam and Alex story line.

Scenario number two-

Maggie and Alex run into each other and Alex is so shook she breaksdown and runs off or something cause she is finally over Maggie and bam here she is and the not so over Maggie side show comes out cause there is still something unresolved and that could lead to a few story lines like Kara helping her sister through it like she always does and them doing a "Closure Montage or Ceremony" or something... Or it could lead to Sam comforting Alex and helping her get through it ← that could be the reason they get together or while they are together and they could take that a lot of places as well.

Scenario #3

Maggie could have changed her mind about kids and come to find Alex so they could get back together and start a family, which again could lead to several different storyline.

Like- Alex turning her down for either the reason that she has moved on, the reason that she is already interested in someone else (cough cough Sam cough), Alex could have decided that jumping into her work at the DEO was best for her for a while, while she is trying to get things together or while she is deal with something emotionally or that she is simply not going through the whole Maggie and kids things just to protect her heart.

J'onn, I just look forward to seeing what's up with him and his new fownd life away from the DEO.

Winn, I don't see much word from him coming from the future but then again you never know cause the writers on this show like to do odd things... So we will see.

Brainy, we know that he is at the DEO thanks to the seen we see of him opening the envelope from Winn, so he will probably be "taking Winns place" there until I would assume probably season 5.

Mon-El, probably no word or at the very least two or three appearances throughout the next season but I don't see much happening with him until season 5 probably as well but as I said you never know, I am just hoping that his and Karas romantic thing is over soon cause 1 it takes away from the show and the rest of the story if we have 3-5 episodes in a 23 episode season just about the I love you and I love you but we can't be together bs. And 2 I honestly want him and the woman that is supposed to be his wife to actually be together as the married couple they are.

James, I hope that this "unmasking" thing works out for him and that he makes a good life as the guardian of national City but for Gods sake please end he and Lena's relationship cause that is all kinds of wrong on so many levels I just can't with the writers of this show and as for his actual job can we please see him back at cat co actually doing that thing called work cause really... DUDE YOU HAVE A COMPANY TO RUN!!!!!!!!!

Cat, can we please see Cat grant back on this show the world needs Cat.

Eve, what is goin' on with Lena's new lab assistant cause last time I checked the "ditzy blond" can surprise people but come on now what is happening and why was she even working at CatCo.?

Ruby, I know I brought her up but I am talking about her now. I hope to see Ruby learning a lot for both her mom and Alex and making sure that they stay together so we can see a relationship grow between Ruby and the rest of the family that is the team and hopefully Alex and Sam.

Lena, yes we are finally to the one and only Lena Luthor. Ok dude I understand you know your best friend is a super hero and I also understand you are only with the guy your with to try and get over the feelings that you have for and even get back at said best friend but dude what is going on it is almost like Kara having James check out your vault which he didn't do though he said he would and almost did was the straw that broke the Camels back even though 1 you know your best friend trusts you just not with the one thing that can hurt her though I think she was just putting on a show for the DEO and 2 You are fighting against what I can only assume is depression at finding out that you do not feel as platonicly towards Kara as you thought you did only to both find out that she is Supergirl and that she "doesn't trust you" though she does and everything that has happened before this should show that the only reason she has not told you herself that she is Supergirl is the DEO would never allow it so come on cut her some slack and for the whole making synthetic Kryptonite be it green or black and not telling your best friend is kinda messed up though I do understand testing her to make sure of some things. Now let's look at what has happened lately 1 the Green kryptonite that Lena made and Kara started a fight over not only helping to defeat reign but also save everyone in the DEO. 2 Kara not one time yelled at Alex for the use of kryptonite in anyway... 3 Lena just right away forgave James for even thinking about going into her vault (because he is of no real consequence) but she did not forgive Kara "Supergirl" for asking him (because she is the most important person she has in her life and to just forgive and forget would never help them grow as friends). I don't care what anyone says Supercorp is for real man Lena and Kara are so in love with each other it is tangible, though of course the queerbaiting is strong with this one. We will talk about the end scene in a minute and try to break that down.

Now last but not least Kara. There is so much to say right here so let's get started. 1 Kara is totally only telling herself how much she loves Mon-El clearly so lets just not with that situation. 2 So she can't breathe in space but Superman can????? I am so lost here. 3 Are the writers aware of the fact that she has super hearing so she could have stopped Sam the first time but no of course time travel randomly throwing in there to fill up the full 40-plus minutes. 4 Can we just look at how she sent her best friend to the future and didn't even really cry not sure when or even if he would come back. 5 Can we please talk about the fact that she just reset a time line and no one cares but when Barry does it the whole world changes... #superpoint ... 6 Please CW writers give us what we need, Kara finally having the "I'm Supergirl" talk with Lena and the two of them mending the friendship and working through everything they have to get through to be better then they were and maybe become more then friends... Please

Now that I have talked the ears off let's get into the episode and break some stuff down.

Alright now we have a defeated Reign and a safe world... Nope we have a Supergirl clone that is probably a world killer... Great so now we have to kill Supergirl for the what third time I think so let's just think here she walked up to Russian soldiers on duty if I an correct said nothing and that is all we saw so there is a lot that they can do with that but again only if they get it right so let's pray that they don't do to season 4 what they did to season 3 though it was good it could have been better... Anyway moving on to the last scene Lena with more of the black kryptonite after she told momma super that there was no more (probably cause she knows something is gonna happen) I am not gonna just jump on the she is going evil band wagon but I will say that if she does turn evil I will not be ok with that...

Let's all hope something happens and Lena dumps James like he ain't hot.

We all know a few things that are gonna happen for sure in season 4.

1 Kara is still gonna be Supergirl.

2 Alex is gonna be a rockin' DEO director.

3 Lena and Kara are gonna be alright but Lena and Supergirl are gonna need some work.

4 James is gonna be out as guardian.

5 The DEO is gonna be working with non-lethal equipment.

Hey goop hope you’re having a great time and your posts are great I keep getting ship shamed for liking Senketsuxryuko (and sometimes even iramako) but you defend them and adore Senketsu and Ryuko platonicly and defend those who love them romantically keep up the great work

Heh, I got the worst sunburn in my life, on my face, right before a convention that I cosplayed at, but this vacation’s still been a blast, thank you!

You bring up something I’ve been meaning to write about: I really hate ‘ship shaming, but I also dislike the idea that people shouldn’t be critical of ‘ships. There are many, many reasons to dislike Ryuko/Senketsu or Mako/Gamagoori (or literally any ‘ship ever), and it’s totally fine to talk about those reasons! But when the ‘ship criticisms stop being ‘ship criticisms and instead become personal attacks on anyone who likes the ‘ships, I just can’t ever see that as okay. There are ways to have constructive discussions without saying that anyone who likes such-and-such is disgusting and gross and should die.

On top of the obvious ways in which these attacks are harmful, they’re also harmful in that they tend to promote the idea that there is only one way to experience a text and anyone else’s experiences are invalid. Using the Mako/Gamagoori example, I have to admit that personally, I’m not really that invested in the pairing. However, I can also see how the coupling appeals to people. Gamagoori is canonically multiracial (discussed here, a bit down), and as a child, he was bullied for his mixed heritage. From what I understand, it’s common in Japan for people who don’t look Japanese to be treated as outsiders (That Japanese Man Yuta has some videos on the topic, such as this one and this one), and though Gamagoori does work his way into a position of power that demands respect, he clearly cherishes when a girl not only treats him as someone who belongs, but also as an equal. Immediately in their first on-screen interaction in episode 4, Mako gets right up in Gamagoori’s face and speaks her mind to him no matter the status difference between them, and Gamagoori takes note! This girl doesn’t hesitate at all to treat him like family.

And really, Mako is so comfortable with Gamagoori! She’s eager to jump into his car, is profoundly honest with him—perhaps overly so—and loves spending her time perched up on his shoulders (which is a love reflected not only in-show, but also official art and merchandise). How nice that kind of behavior must be for Gamagoori, who’s so used to being treated as an outsider to be ridiculed or feared! Mako is someone who doesn’t think of Gamagoori in either light, and that means the world to him.

From Mako’s side, she also has a history of being disrespected and belittled—even by Ryuko!—but Gamagoori never treats her in such a way. Whereas Ryuko promises Mako snacks to stay out of the Festival battle in episode 18 as though she’s a bothersome child, Gamagoori wholeheartedly trusts Mako to help out. How nice that kind of belief and faith must be for Mako, who’s so used to being thought of as an incapable nuisance! Gamagoori is someone who truly respects Mako, and that respect motivates her to act even in the toughest of situations.

Then there are all the other elements of the pair, too. Mako definitely shows interest in women, so it’s more than plausible that she’s bi or pan, and—though I can’t exactly speak personally on the matter, as someone unsure of her sexuality—I’ve often heard the sentiment from people in those groups that they feel like “lesser” members of the LGBT community if they are involved in an opposite-gender romantic relationship. For Mako to be in a romantic relationship with Gamagoori, while still very obviously being into women? That could be really, really meaningful to someone, just like the fact that Gama/Mako is canonically interracial and is filled with so much respect could.

And for other people to call these folks “gross” and shame them for relating to and enjoying the text in these kinds of ways? It deeply, deeply bothers me, and it’s hurt me personally. I’ve definitely felt shamed (even if not directly) for liking Ryuko/Senketsu; “Kill la Kill fans would rather ‘ship a girl with an article of clothing than admit she has romantic feelings for another girl!” is a common belief, and while there are a myriad of problems with it (such as the fact that hey, it’s possible to love more than one person romantically and also SenRyuMako is the Most Canon Kill la Kill ‘ship), this kind of attitude also tells me that how I relate to and enjoy the text is wrong and nasty, and, well, I just find that profoundly unfair. I’ve discussed my preferences for Ryuko/Senketsu in the past (point 6), but why should I have to defend my very morality just for loving a fictional character pairing? Why do I feel like I have to go into deep personal stories to “justify” my ‘shipping preferences? It’s absolutely, utterly ridiculous!

I’m a lot older than many folks on Tumblr now, but I can only imagine how awful I would feel going through all this kind of Discourse as a young teenager. People have always been cruel on the Internet, but I think this trend of “shaming people but it’s okay because what they like is Bad” is fairly new, and I despise it so, so much. It’s not helpful, it’s not progressive, and it leads to messages like these, which make me so sad.

11:11 and clouds

11:11 name three wishes1. I wish my best friend would win the lottery. VInce has good ideas, some business savy and hes’ generally good peeps and really i just wish more people won lotteries, money can’t buy happiness but it’s a nice thing to have too much of rather than too little. I’m super biased in that he said he’d pay for my debts if he won, and i really want to be debt free, but i would deep down rather he won the me, i’m not greedy or i try not to be anyway and so 50k outta of his 1milion+ sounds perfect, and honelsty if you could spend 5% of your money and save a friends life for years to come you know you would....and if i could spend an imaginary giant sum of money and see the joy on his face....seeing photo’s of his adventures and travels would be great. We could get our dream house we’ve platonicly talked about. Watson Best Cat would get so many amazing outfits and hats and a giant robot and gosh golly it’d just be swell

2.I wish to be genuienly complitment for something i haven’t been complimented for.....i get the same 3-4 compliments, all the time, every time, no matter who you are, and one of them since it comes from romantic partners, i’m never sure if it’s true or if their just saying it cause they think it’s nice to say...i just want to hear good words said about me, to me, for something that isn’t he tells puns or grew a beard fast....hit me with personality traits you love, or tell me something little you noticed you find endearing...i often fell nobody likes me (anxiety, depression all that jazz) but when no one ever says anything but the one obvious surface level nice thing, i assume it’s just a forced social habit and  likely untrue, and that’s almost worse than nothing. 

3. Universal Basic IncomeI’m employeed, i’m paying off my debts (slower than i’d like but i’m doing it and faster than most) i have a house, i have food, i want for lots, but i lack little.....i however am not everyone, and lots of folks don’t have what they need. A UBI would be a huge step in solving that, parents could work part time at 1 job instead of trying to full time 3, schooling would be less stressful as you wouldn’t have to struggle to work through your classes so you could afford your summer without loans, it’d eliminate over burdened and ineffieceint redundancies in welfare programs...like everyone would benefit and we haven’t done more than a few trials yet (though we’ve done trials and they all turned out great so maybe by 2025?)...oh mighty tumblre genies make this so!Clouds: Would i ever rock black nail polish? Not only would i, but i have....more importantly i did so not during an emo phase either...cause we all know we’ve done that.I worked at a summer camp for under privleged youths and this camp was 90% gender and age divided with very rare expections.  One of the female counselors got sick the same week another counselor brought beauty supplies for her kids to do a mani/pedi spa day, i got roped into picking up the slack and helping wrangle both the groups as they joined together for the activity,  20+ 8--12 year old girls and let me tell you, nothing made  them happier than a boy who would let them paint his toes (and eventually fingers) and nothing made me happier than 6 hours of laughing smiling kids while i sat, read my book, and generaly enjoyed some well deserved pampering. Of course i didn’t own any nail polish and i’d be damned if iwas gonna try to get rid of it, so my all black fingers and my each toe a different artists lasted 3 weeks easy.

FAQs: Re-uploading, Tagging, and Referencing my Art

I’ve been getting some questions lately- I know a lot of artists have ‘rules’ and whatever to follow when interacting with their art. Re-uploading, what to tag, what not to tag, referencing, etc. Which is understandably cool.

H O W E V E R

Personally with myself and my art: I don’t mind what anyone does for the most part lol. I’m really chill with a lot of things most artists aren’t.

(THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO COMMISSIONS.)

The client is the only one with any freedom of their commission. (Other than likes and shares/reblogs.)

Keep reading for specifics!

To other artists:

New to the beautiful world of art and want to experiment be it referencing, or hecc even tracing over something I did line from line? Go ahead I’m honored to play a small part in your journey.

Wanna upload that photo? Do it and tag me so I can see fam I get heckin’ blushy and warm when stuff like that happens to me. (Please credit if it’s really close to a trace! Light references, just tag me in the comments so I can see. :P)

See something in my style that catches your eye and you want to adapt it in your own style? Good! Again, I’m honored. That’s how we learn. Experimenting and learning from one another is a great way to grow as an artist. (This doesn’t need crediting.)

-

To those who may interact with my art:

Wanna re-upload something of mine? That’s fine just leave credit, please! This usually brings in some new followers so it does personally make me happy if anything.

Wanna make it your profile picture or add it to a profile? Aaa I’m honored! Just leave credit, please.

Wanna add a filter or frame to said drawing? Idc lol just credit please.

Don’t like my ship but it’s a group picture, my ship are just merely holding hands or something meanwhile your OTP are subtly looking at each other regardless? Go ahead and slap your ship tag on it.

To add to the previous bullet: (Now this is rare since I don’t typically gravitate towards ships caught in this situation since I’m a sucker for that sweet like-a-sibling trope) But if I drew something (in a platonicly debatable set of poses,) between two characters a large clump of the fandom considers ‘like siblings’ but you CANNOT stand the ship? Still like the art though because you see it platonicly even if I, the artist, did not intend it that way? Share it and tag it with the brotp version of their combined names. (Unless they’re kissing or whatever… I’m sorry but please don’t tag romantically obvious drawings as ‘siblings’…) but I don’t see that being an issue here lol. I don’t have any ships like that so… But same goes vice versa.

Maybe I drew a character with intentions of the character as their assigned sex but you have a Headcanon that the character is another gender. Pick a headcanon any headcanon and tag that shit up. Chances are if I see the tag I’ll see how you could see that in my drawing even if it’s not what I intended.

Man, tag any headcanon you see fits.

-

Basically…

I’m not here to judge and I’m definitely not here to deal with petty ‘fandom drama.’ We all interpret art differently and have a right to do so. Do I have opinions on certain ships or characters? Certainly. Buuuut I talk about my opinions with my girlfriend most of the time lol. I’m not going to post it on here where I post art. Why? It’s not necessary and my opinion on something as silly as fictional ships doesn’t matter to everyone. I’ll express my opinion through a drawing. (ie ships I like obviously.) but I don’t want to rain on a parade where people are just having a good time liking whatever it is they like.

And yes there are controversial things with ships (ie abusive characters, wild age gaps, possible relations, etc.) Look… The ships I generally go for are rivals-to-lovers like Klance or best-friends-to-something-more like Promptis so I don’t condone that. Not going into details. If someone tags my art as a ship like that because they got that vibe from my drawing… like I said, not here for drama. It’s pointless because we’re not going to change each other’s opinion. I’ll be confused as to how they saw it in the drawing probably but in the end, I appreciate that you liked it nonetheless.

All in all: Not everyone is going to see things the same way as myself. I respect artists wishes when it comes to them asking for others not to specifically tag certain things, but for my own art I mean… A lot of ships we have in our fandoms weren’t the creators intention either. Yet, we still managed to see it so when it comes to my art I just look at it that way. I’m just not into getting into controversial stuff in fiction. I get why some have very strong opinions to avoid certain things. Just personally, I’m not here to argue or fight. I don’t draw to do that either so please keep all of that at bay.

Pretty much my only rule is if you reupload anything of mine or whatever:

Leave credit.

The only things I’m not cool with is using my art in a hateful way (ie ship bashing) and blatantly just taking my art and saying you drew it but I haven’t had that issue lol.

Oh and uh this one goes without saying but I'ma say it anyway…ahem. DON’T SELL MY ART OR HEAVILY REFERENCE ANYTHING FOR A COMMISSION. The first one’s obvious but the commission portion is mostly for your commissioner’s sake. They commissioned you for a reason and I’m not sure they’d appreciate buying a copy. (Unless the commissioner knows then hell by all means go for it as long as it’s not a straight up traced since there’s pay involved lol.)

-

But man. I appreciate anyone who even just simply looks at my art lol it means a lot to me. Every little comment makes me feel amazing about myself so that’s why I’m making this post. I want people to feel good doing what they want too.

I may not agree with everything BUT I’m too tired all the time to care. :P

This was WAY longer than I planned… but I wanted to make my own “rule” list.

-

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND***

Not all artists are cool with these things. Everyone has their own comfort zones when it comes to their art. Please be respectful of each and every artist’s personal rules!

Guys...holy hell.

I just realized, in the dream world Carbuncle tells Noct he can get back by going to his "safespace" And in episode Prompto Prom goes there twice. After he passes out from hypothermia and when he confronts his younger self. But, but here's the thing, how Prompto get's out and get's his determination. His heading up the stairs into the Citadel rather sitting at the bottom staircase like he did earlier. So his exit is the Citadel, and why would that be his safeplace, what kinda attachment does he have to a building? And then it hit me, it's not the building, it's because Noctis is there, that Ignis and Gladio is there. It was ovbious and we all know it and subconciously knew. But we never actually thought about it. How his safeplace is litterally Noct and co. They're all he got in this world and it's godamn beutiful. Or his safeplace is just litterally just Noct and Promptis has been canon all this time. I can't be the only one who feels that the amount of how much Prompto loves and depends and dedicates his life towrwards Noct goes far and beyond and best friend or family type of relationship. I feel like they legit could stay like platonicly togther forever to the end of time. I mean doesn't have too, but it feels like super right that they can just be together forever without any labels. Like they're not friends nor lovers....just something more. Also if a dude spent years losing weight just cause he wanted to look perfect in order to talk to u then his a catch. If i was Noct i would be head over godamn heels man, i wasn't gay before but i guess i am now! Man i both hate it and love it when they write relationships like this, cause its basicly up to your own interpretation. Its enough for them to be best friends but also something more. Because nothing tells u it cant be a thing. But nothing either tells u it is a thing. Ive always imagined Proms feelings for Noct somewhat romantic, because theres so much extra shit that is kinda weird and overwhelming for just "friends". And we dont think about it but Prom low self confidence and selfworth makes him a very extreme person. Someone could say his freckles are ugly, he would probably wear makeup to cover them up cause bybdoing so he doesnt cause this person discomfort or digust. His eager to please, to improve himself on his "faults" if u remember all it took for prom to loose weight was one comment from Noct how he was heavy. Also the fast decision on him trying to burn his barcode of his arm, his hella impulsive. The fact that he have such strong feelings to the point if he doesnt have Nocts approval he no longer wants to live is also very extreme. No matter what relationship they have Noctis is the one he loves most in the entire godamn world. And even if they started as friends, someone that means that much too you often becomes something more amd you dont even think about it. And judging by all of this it's very possible he did love Noct, but there was no reason for him too show it. First take this, Noct is the prince, Prom wouldn't do anything to put a spotlight on him or make him uncomfortable or cause him any trouble. Then the wedding with Luna, the mission to save Luna and save the world. His personal feelings wouldn't belong anywhere there. Cause he deemed his feelings not important because his world revolves around noct. No matter what happened, even if prom told him it was doomed from the start. It had no future, noct had no future as he was destined to die by the gods. It honestly makes sense why prom sounds so depressed, unsure and kinda snarky torwards noct later in the game. Cause this is his last change but its still not the time, and it never will be so its gonna be a secret he takes with him to the grave but his feelings for noct, he cherished those and it was enough for him. It could also be because he knows Noct is gonna die soon but what do i know. Im just here to speculate and overanalyze relationships between a prince and a poor boy. Also the fact that Prompto stays single those 10 years and litterally only hangs out with Cindy even though she probably told him no. But from how Talcott says it it seems like Cindy was kinda oblivious and Prom just hang around and never told her. Kinda like his pinning but shes too busy working she doesnt notice him, for 10 godamn years. What i always feel was weird in this game was how forced Proms interactions with girls was. Like no joke he has lowkey crushes on every girl he met. Cindy, aranea even iris jesus christ. If u go by his character its really contradicting that he would react like that to them. But its also just stays in his head because he doesnt actually wanna bother them irl. Like that photo tour where noct is the wingman and noct tells him to just ask vindy for a pic amd he tells him that would be creepy. It weird, but its a prompto thing to be satisfied imagining what could have been rather them act on something. Which what i feel with noct and why he would never even put that tought in the open for noct. Like with Cindy and all the girls it seems more like his impressed by what theyre capable off. Like cindy being a genius engineer and running the garage herself. Aranea being a godamn badass fighter, its like his so impressed what they can do and developes small crushes. But thats what they are, small insignificent crushes that would never lead anywhere. In a way they remind me of Clouds, zacks, aeriths and tifas relationship. In which cloud started with a crush on tifa, started to develop feelings for aerith but they never lead anywhere cause she wasnt there anymore. But then theres also the fact that cloud cant let go of aerith or zack, but i feel like aerith is more about guilt rather then love. And No matter what, zack always priorities in clouds mind. Cause back then zack was all he had, he had given up on going back to tifa or even see or talk to her. He failed his goal but zack got him hopefull again. Zack was his only ally and friend. Then shit happened and zack decides for him that theyre gonna stay totgether and be mercenaries forever. Zack takes care of him like no one else has ever done and that caring and love goes way deeper then crushes. Like no matter what happens its the same with prom. Noct will always be the number one love in his life. Oh god this is way to long, i did it again. I just wanted to talk about carbuncle man. And please, if u read this long pls come talk to me about what you think.

[freifraufischer]

Thank you for your answers. I've watched OUAT in the past, but very casually. I showed up for Gabrielle Anwar (Burn Notice!), so trying to figure out the lay of the land. I admit, most couple fandoms I've seen have been more about the guy, so the obsession with Emma caught me by surprise. And yes, fair point that it's not all of any fandom. Most are undoubtedly sane (though not on that twitter feed that I can tell).

Okay... ��so I love Gabrielle Anwar so far and can’t wait to see her in the new season.

I’m going to tell you flat out that there is an incredibly toxic and destructive side of this fandom and that it crosses a lot of ships.  The fandom is very divided and the last few seasons it’s very much shaped up as CS versus everyone else.  But the vast majority of all ships aren’t those idiots on twitter in Adam’s feed.  There are lovely people in all corners of the fandom and I get more enjoyment than frustration out of it.

With that said....

If you’d asked me a year ago I would have told you that they were obsessed with Hook.  The reason it’s shaped up as CS vs. Everyone Else has been that as far as the show’s story has been for the last few years CS has gotten everything.  They kissed so much I’m not sure how anyone could see that as special.  Emma was practically surgically attached to Hook in some seriously weird ways.  They got a big wedding and a mission to hell and just about everything anyone who ships a romantic ship can ask for.  Meanwhile SQ fandom got ... progressively less and less interaction between Emma and Regina even platonicly.  Rumbelle had some seriously painful angst that ran for literally years.  OQ... had a death.  Swanfire... had a death.  And a certain segment of CS fandom took this to mean that they were the chosen ship.  That Emma was the sole lead of the show (despite the fact that they had always said the show had three female leads) or even that Colin was also a lead and that they were “the lead couple” and that everyone else were haters who should just stop watching if they don’t like the writer’s vision.

That would be why there is a lot of schadenfreude going on right now because it’s not just “CSers are freaking out” but it’s particular people who have been abusive and cruel to the rest of the fandom for years.  The chosen ship doesn’t seem quite so chosen right now.   They’re showing their asses to the production in ways they’ve treated other fans.  

I know that there were a lot of people who identified with Emma in CS fandom (some of my friends will give me grief for saying that) and her leaving was hard on a lot of people.  But I actually think the problem with “the children” as i’ve taken to calling them is less that they are that attached to Emma as a character but that they’re angry at the loss in status.  You can’t argue that Colin is the lead of the show when he’s clearly not positioned as such or that your ship is the main couple if the show can go on without them. 

And among “the children” (again not CS fandom) the fact that Lana is clearly the lead of the show this season outrages the racists (some of these people... again these particular people) have said things about how she should go back to Mexico (she’s not Mexican) and described Jen as a “pure white beauty” and there are others think Lana “encouraged” disrespect of Jen and CS fans by engaging with her SQ fans while Jen ignored them.  Sometimes that’s about outright homophobia but some of it’s about patronizing “she’s leading them on” BS.  

Either way the reason so many of us are taking so much joy in the melt downs is because we know the people involved and they’ve been arrogant pricks for three years.

In some ways I think their hatred of season 7 has made a lot of people more open to it.

[jewishvitya]

You're really fine! Don't worry about being rude, I invited you to ask questions.

3 people in one relationship is a thing, but it's not the only format.

For example, I have three partners. They aren't dating each other. We call that being "metamours" when your connection is a mutual partner, but you aren't together yourself. I'm dating A, B and C. None of them if dating the other.

About communication between them:

A and B don't know each other well and don't talk much, but they have a... Channel for communication if they need to. They can reach out on Facebook if anything happens or if they need to talk.

A and C didn't feel the need to do that, but if they do and they ask me to introduce them, I will.

For B and C I opened a group chat that I'm in on discord and they can talk to each other on their own in DM if they like. It was amusing and awkward to start talking, but I love that they have a friendly basis for interacting, even if they aren't friends who talk daily or anything like that.

Many people do this in many different ways. You can see how varied it is just between my three partners.

About jealousy - some of us do get jealous! I don't, not in romantic relationships, but it's not like... a virtue. It's not a trait that makes me better in some way. It's just my brain being weird. So this is a bit strange for me to answer but I can tell you - polyam people get jealous. In many of our communities and discussions the conversation that keeps coming back is "How to manage jealousy?" and people get better at this! Just like you can learn anger management. It's about not letting it control your expectations from your partners and your relationships. One important thing I learned from polyamory is being able to say "This hurts me, and I want to say it because I don't want it to be a secret I'm dealing with alone, but I don't want you to change your behavior to stop the hurt".

I hope it doesn't seem like I'm belittling the experience of jealousy in a romantic relationship, but I want to try and give an example from my own experience. I do get jealous, strangely, in non-romantic relationships. When two of my friends do something fun between them, like a fun collab of art and fic? I get SO JEALOUS for not being involved. And like... I have a lot of friend groups where we love being creative, and I have no right to expect them to just... "let's do all things with Riki!" for every single project, right? Sometimes you're 50 people in a group discord and two of you want to make something together! So I have to get over it and go "I'm jealous, but I love them both and I want them to be happy so their fun is worth it". And people I'm close to, platonicly, know this. We have conversations about this, because feelings that are dark secrets can be destructive. I told them "It hurts, but I don't expect you to change how you interact with other friends. Please keep enjoying your friendships and don't try to protect me, just have fun." They know they can ask me for advice about difficult social situations and I'll give them my best and try to help them make things work, rather than let jealousy take control. It's my responsibility to manage my feelings around my friendships. Also, I got much better lately and I'm a lot less jealous than I used to be. To me jealousy is something I can acknowledge and manage and work past.

Turned out very long, sorry! If you don't want this on your blog, feel free to DM. I don't mind either way!

this might be too invasive and don’t answer if it is (i would never want to make you uncomfortable), but are you poly?

uhh i’m not sure? i don’t know too much about polyamorous people so i’m not quite sure. and honestly i don’t even know if i have the emotional capacity rn to dote on one person i’m in a relationship with, let alone more than one

Aw anon, I don’t ship them romantically! Well, I mean, I don’t mind them, but producing stuff for them is a bit... but if you’re okay with them being buds then SURE I’ve decided a while ago that in my comics their relationship is gonna be a couple steps ahead already hahaha

Anon said: hmm do you have any special feelings about toshinori/aizawa?? bc it is. so rare,, (also all of your art keeps me going. I love getting notifications that you've uploaded smth ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ )

AHHHHHHH thank you so much!!!!!!!! and... uhhhhhhhhhhhh I’ve never really thought about them like that tbh? The only Aizawa ship I ship is with Yamada, and even that is just because my sis ships it and suggested fics and I end up shipping stuff really easily lbr haha I dunno! I’ll have to think about it a bit

Anon said:Did you considered Akashi x konoha?

I have! Because it has been mentioned to me already a couple times, and because Konoha miiiiight be one of those haikyuu characters I kind of just ship with everyone, oops - as you might have noticed I’m kind of really deep in Aka.Ken and Kono.Komi so Kono.Aka isn’t exactly something I spend time thinking about, but it sounds really damn nice o

Entry 17 - Gifts and Curses (Teachers Edition)

January 15, 2019

Dear “Diary,”

         I know this story, this whole story and the story of Ada, is coming out very broken. And this whole projectis ill-thought-out. No one has told me this. I just know it to be true. Partially because… I know what I was envisioning prior to launch. I wanted to recount my many romantic misadventures, which meant taking the time to plan out everything I wanted to say, needed to say, and REALLY couldn’t say only to fall in love again. When I realized I was in love, everything went out the window because I want to be with this woman. I love her. I cherish her. But at the same time, I’m afraid of being in love again. It’s a fun, amazing, and beautiful thing. But I’m not very good at it.

         So now I’m trying to figure out what I need to say and what details you need to know one the fly. Which led to me realizing that there is one key character to the next part of Ada’s story that you’re missing. Also, this person—while not a romantic love—probably messed me up. I loved her platonicly, and we need to talk more about platonic love. For one, it’s just as valid as any form of love. But also, it’s just as destructive. So let me catch you up.

         I mentioned someone in passing in my “Tale of Three Michaels,” and that is the teacher who disliked “otherness.” In the context of that tale, that’s all I needed to say. He loved her. She was pretty horrible. Consequently, I needed to be thankful that this Michael and I never came together. That would have been a whole lot of unnecessary suffering.

         But this monster plays a bigger role in Ada’s story. And maybe mine still if her posts on social media is taking the toll on my health. I don’t want to keep even this loose connection with her, truly. I just don’t think I have much of a choice.

         Ms. Nightmare hated “otherness,” some more than others, and some are more pressing issues than others. In short, she has two kids while being the type of person to disown her children for being gay and then feel so proud of it that she would then go brag about it on social media. And, frankly, with my mom still in my hometown, I sometimes feels like I have a very distinct responsibility. While I'm aware of my cosmic insignificance and powerlessnes, I know I can do this much: I can protect her children from the worst she could do. When they are out of the street, I can find them a home with my mother. I can't do much if anything about the plight of homeless LGBTQI+ youth, but I can find them a home.

         Yes, she shouldn't have been left in charge of children, but she was. Still is. The thing is, her horribleness manifests in a way that protects her. In our area, you can't be out if you don't want your life to be worse than anything she could do to you. After all, your friends would stand with you, but school administration is disturbingly indifferent to the inevitable student-led torture. So you couldn't tell them what she was doing. If you did, then they would ask why she was doing this to you. And then you were caught in-between a rock and a hard place.

         Now, you might be thinking, if she targets the wrong student, then this little card house is going to come apart. And you'd be right. Like she is… Seriously, she's never been wrong once. And we all knew this. We didn't know how she figured it out, but she always did.

         As you have may figured out, I'm not exactly straight. Maybe it’s been easy for you. I've been around way too much to even take my anonymity as a way of pretending that my life is anymore straightforward than it actually is. And it helped that you all were able to see the events of my life. She didn't have that. I don't know what she had other than a larger-than-Satan reputation and the ability to spin a dream.

         She was our band and orchestra teacher, marching and concert band. Which also meant she doubled as the orchestra director for the school musicals and any student clubs involving instruments, even guitar. All of which was rather legendary in our school. She was a nightmare, but these experiences we're a dream. It's participants supposedly made up a makeshift family. A band family, everyone involved said, and it was talked about frequently. Looking back, it was more like a “band cult,” but that's with the wisdom of age and the communal mocking of multi-level-marketing groups across the internet. In the moment, it was a drop of water in the desert. By then, Dad was dead, his infidelity had been revealed, and Mom's reaction isn't something I was ready to tell you about just yet.

         Desperately, I wanted a family, and I thought dealing with her abuse was a price I could handle paying, even if it was an unjust punishment for the directions my heart swings. After all, it didn't seem so bad. Or at least, she wasn't very obvious about it. Sure, you clearly didn't have her favor, and you would be passed over for auditions or workshops. You'd be relegated to secondary ensembles and just kept out of the spotlight where she couldn't see you, but I didn't want to be a musician anyway. I wanted a family. Even when I had Ada, I wanted a family.

         And like with some families and especially with some cults, defection was a punishable offense. Limited punishment given the context but by some standards only. After all, for a teenager, social acceptance was the ultimate treasure, that thing which all good we're measured against. But it came from people who were still young and impressionable. And that's where she could strike. It made sense to her: if she gave you that family, then obviously, it was hers to take away.

         So I stayed. Even when she started being more aggressive to me and a girl named Liza in my graduating class, we didn’t think we had much a choice. We would lose everything if we said something, and she made it so that she personally was the keeper of a great deal of it.

         It got to the point that she was able to essentially abandon us in a rest stop for a few hours before “the bus was able to turn around.” And still, we had to say nothing to anyone that could do something about it.

         We actually grew to become friends from all the torment. It’s weird how things like that can bond you to a person. “Weird,” as in we probably shouldn’t find something positive in a situation like that. All the same, we sat next to each other on a bench beneath a streetlight and talk about our lives. That’s probably the inevitable part: once you’re in the muck, you might as well dig deeper.

         I told her about my dad, about his mistress, and about all the things I wished to say to either them. I told her about Dad’s life support machine and how… poorly… that whole thing went. She told me about a bunch of things I have no business mentioning in this blog. But she also told me about her girlfriend and how a phone call between the two of them was how the monster found out. She didn’t regret anything, though. She loved her girlfriend so much that come what may, this love was worth suffering for.

         I wanted to tell her about Ada. That seemed fair, but I coudn’t bring myself to do it. I didn’t really talk about Ada that much. I still don’t.

         As for the most beautiful woman in the world who just happens to work in my office, I’ve never spoken Ada’s name allowed to her. She’s back in the office from the holiday, though. And I’m forced to realize yet again how in love with her I am, how much joy even her smile alone can bring me. I made her a little holiday gift bag or post-holiday gift bag. Her work load is going to intensify in the next couple months, so in my note, I called them “emergency rations.” She seemed to like them. She also liked being noticed.

         I’m glad she liked it.

Digitally yours,

Alex

I guess I do mean socially, like, I've seen so many people talk about how sex can be "just sex" or how it can just be two best friends being close but I never see anyone say the same thing about stuff like holding hands or kissing or saying "I love you" everyone automatically jumps to the idea of a romantic relationship when they see that. I don't know why I'm blabbering at you about this, I guess I just want some advice on how to not be mad at myself for wanting to be platonicly affectionate.

I understand. I feel that way too. Like if I feel affectionate it has to become romantic whether i like it or not. But that is only because that’s what our society teaches us. That there is no such a thing as platonic endearment in an affectionate way. Like you either hang out 10 feet apart as bros or romantic and touching. It’s silly really how we try to separate every little thing.

Personally I am a very private person when it comes to my affections, but I still see the value and respect others who prefer to be more openly affectionate. Friends and platonic partners should be allowed to express their affection how ever they feel comfortable without being pigeon holed into a romantic relationship. I feel people who made up these silly social regulations took their own personal preferences too far and made them to be the norm. Like I get preferring it be private or only for romance, but that is your choice and not something everyone has to do just because you feel that way. People are going to think whatever and not understand because it’s how we were trained to think. But in the end it’s not their life so not their place to say. If they want to go about their lives worrying how other people live their lives that’s their own problem in this case. Nothing is wrong about wanting to openly express affection strongly just as much as nothing is wrong with wanting to keep it private or to a minimal. What is wrong is trying to force others to live differently to match your own standards.

hmm i turned this into a rant. But yeah, it’s your guy’s decision, not anyone else’s.
