Ah yes, one of my favorite genres of baby full score trio pictures: Isabella being openly affectionate toward Emma and Norman in front of Ray while being hands off with him.

Heavily disagree with the implication that Cheng Xiaoshi having two experiences in Yingdu makes his mistakes less understandable in s1. Can you honestly say that two times is enough to deal with a job as traumatic and spontaneous as Cheng Xiaoshi's? The dude is only 21 and knew about his ability maybe a few months before s1's timeline. Fucking up, being naive, it makes sense. It takes time to experience that growth and maturity and it sure as hell isn't an easy thing to get used to.

His actions in the earthquake and Emma arcs were completely justifiable and Bahati was BARELY enough for him to understand the consequences of his actions given the fact that he didn't even know what his actions were at that point to begin with? We see his growth in s2, how much more capable he's become, and i think it's not fair to assume that he's supposed to get accustomed to accepting tragedy after two experiences while Lu Guang clearly couldn't accept his tragedies even though he knew of his abilities since he was seven (not a writing fault on his end at all btw, this is just what being human is)

genuinely SO demoralizing to actually check the ages of fairly middle achieving people in fields I want to work in, like not even the major household name types, like, people who are fairly successful, and learning so many of them are +/-3 years of my own age and they got in three or four years ago is just...

I know we all say that one's age isn't ACTUALLY a road block for anything and you can be successful or break into anything at any age, but y'know, still, it's a fact that is incredibly demoralizing and everything seems impossible all the time

yes, yes, i know checking these facts and dwelling on it is NOT helpful, but also y'know, I already know too much of the state of the industries so

I'm glad Fields of Mistria is at least a little more lenient with how you gain relationship w characters than Stardew was, bc as much as I love March as a character something I don't love about these kinds of games is the way their arcs/behaviour doesn't progress at all unless you're actively giving them gifts and talking to them every day (neither of which March deserves at all btw). Just rubs me the wrong way that the solution to jerk characters in these games is always to placate and rehab thier behaviour instead of the narrative/your accomplishments working towards that instead.

Idk. I think a lot of ppl have no problem kissing up to tsundere types in games but I'm like entirely too autistic and too "it's the principle of the matter" to be able to? If March is supposed to develop from being antagonistic and rude then it feels shitty that it comes from undeserved, infinite olive-branches and not just the natural progression of time/story? So at least I can mostly ignore him, tho as a consequence it takes fucking ages to increase his hearts passively that way. You can rebuff and scold him in the 2 heart event and I hope they carry that "I'm not taking your stupid ass bullshit, March" energy for the future hearts too. Because I'm out here infrastructure/farm-maxing, I'll spoil him w conversation and gifts when he figures his shit out on his own lol and we get on neutral ground.

Also I just generally don't like how abrupt his change towards you is on Friday nights. I get it's supposed to be comedic but when he's randomly only nice to you when he's drunk, and he's the only character who's Friday night interactions don't seem to have any bearing on his disposition or dialogue with you after (yet everyone else references their Friday night interactions w you and each other) it makes it feel almost non-canonical as opposed to a hidden quirk of his.

Also idk, "only nice when drunk" isnt the incentive to befriend him the devs think it is lol

[murdockmeta]

thinking about moon knight having marc call steven the best superpower he's ever had during a really emotional moment and how that show handled DID better than just about any piece of media I've ever seen and. I'm sobbing actually. they equated his neurodivergence with being the greatest part of him after marc had spent so long trying to hide his DID out of shame. and maybe that sounds like bordering on glorification but it really wasn't. because they made it so obvious that what marc meant was that steven kept him ALIVE and that's the most he could ever ask for and anyway. whatever whatever it's fine

[ramblingsfromthytruly]

I genuinely can’t put into words just how grateful I am to have her as my friend. Almost 8 months since we’ve met each other and she just keeps making me love her personality more and more each week. Yeah I have other friends, but no one I’ve related to so much. I mean that in the case of hobbies, media, fandoms but also idk how to explain but she just GETS me yk. Anytime I’ve been embarrassed about over sharing a particular piece of information about my life, she ends up just understanding if not relating. God I know true supportive friends exist because she exists<33

25 Days of Sleighpairs: Joel Dexter x Ryan Knight (Hollyoaks) + “Dinner”

'What are you doing here?'

Joel looked up to find Ryan approaching him, arms spread. He wasn't smiling but he wasn't not smiling, either. It was that obnoxious, crooked smirk of his.

Tucking his phone back into his pocket, Joel smiled and rolled his eyes. He put a hand up to quickly stop him from flying off the handle like he knew he was about to.

'Look, I had to see my dad, okay? He was asking around about me, and I wanted to know why,' he explained. 'And, it's Christmas, so, I thought we might as well sit down to hash it all out over dinner. You know, like a normal family.'

Ryan's eyes widened at that. 'Have you-?'

'No, I haven't told him,' he said immediately. 'I don't plan to, either. My dad might claim to be a changed man, but I'm not stupid enough to think that Warren Fox would be cool with having a queer son.'

At that, Ryan's expression softened. He reached out to touch his arm, seemingly uncaring that they were just outside the pub in the car park and could be spotted by anyone who walked by. He gave his hand a squeeze and sported a genuine smile.

'Never mind the fact that I'm seeing a copper,' Joel tacked on, his mouth quirking upwards. 'I don't know what he'd have more of a problem with, to be honest with you.'

'Well, personally, I think he'd be more hung up on the me of it all. I really pissed him off while I was questioning him.'

Joel shook his head. 'Doesn't matter. He won't be finding out. I'm not letting him spoil anything else in my life.'

'Do you want me to come in with you?' Ryan asked gently, ducking his head, searching his face. 'I told him we're old mates, so, he wouldn't question it if he saw us together.'

It was an incredibly tempting offer, but he knew that it would only sour the afternoon. His dad had been on his best behaviour so far, and while he knew it was at least mostly an act, he still didn't want to be proven right.

'Nah, it's fine. You go back to work.'

'You sure?'

'Yes. I promise.'

'Okay,' Ryan said. ‘I'll see you back at the flat, yeah?'

'Course. I just need to head over to the prison to see Brendan, and I still need to ring Cheryl and Mitzeee, but then I'll be right home.'

Ryan smiled again. He gave the car park a cautious glance, but they were completely alone, leaving him totally free to lean in and kiss him without worry. It had been two years and yet his heart still skipped like it was the first time.

His dad would have a heart attack if he could see him now.

Whether or not he had the same thought, Ryan pulled back but only an inch or two. His lips curved into a grin as he muttered, 'See you soon, pretty boy.'

Five words was all it had taken to ignite something in Joel back then, and it still had the same effect. Chuckling, he shoved Ryan back with a hand on his chest and raised his eyebrows.

'Off you go.'

Lips still parted, he winked, then turned on his heel and walkd back to his car. Joel shook his head to himself again, but he watched him go. He could already hear the slagging off Brendan was going to give him if he couldn't get the smile off his face by the time he saw him.

I really wish that antis stopped using real life sa victims in their shit especially since they tell real life sa victims that we deserved our assaults cos we all handle our trauma differently.

[cesium-sheep]

she's starting to get into tarot now too, and I think I get prickly about her picking up interests I already picked up for myself (or tried to) because like. I have very very little self, between how I grew up and how sick I've been. she gets to have a career and a passion and a self and a gender and all this shit I don't. so it bugs me when she starts to step into these surface level things because I don't really. have anything else.
