honestly i think that internet lingo falls into a couple of really major pitfalls that i feel like people tend to just completely uncritically parrot bc they saw it used in what they saw as a funny way once. like for one AAVE is just sort of. constantly appropriated and turned into a joke in a way that causes AAVE to be seen as a non serious/real dialect of english which is so unspeakably racist i really don't what to even tell you if you haven't picked up how much that happens by now.

and also i think the other part is that it tends towards being incredibly ableist (shizoposting, delusional, trauma bonding, infodumping, narcissist) in a way that not only demeans the target of the ableism it also creates a false understanding of what words mean and make it all that much harder for people to recognize and take these things seriously.

like, suddenly, delusional becomes something that's just being in denial about reality, and narcissist becomes some kind of subhuman monster label, and gaslighting becomes indistinguishable from someone lying sometimes

Love how tumblr just collectively decides to make memes that are utterly incomprehensible to anyone outside of the loop.

As a joke, Cleo positioned themself on a blank armor stand and posed. Due to their less than human attributes they could attain unnatural stillness, of which they took full advantage.

It worked perfectly. Joe meandered through their base, bypassed Cleo entirely, and they jumped out at him. He shrieked loud enough to worry the neighbors, if the hermits were the sort of neighbors to worry about wayward shrieks. Which, of course they weren't, if hermits took notice of every yell they'd never get anything done.

Cleo cackled. It was perfect. Joe said they blended in real well with the other armor stands, y'know, they really had a talent!

Cleo bowed playfully. All in all, great prank, 11/10, would try again.

Because there wasn't a single part of them disconcerted by just how well the prank had worked. They weren't that good. They weren't a decoration.

So! Since everything was great and they felt great about it, they were definitely going to try for the next hapless hermit to grace their door.

it’s so weird to think that ryuji was only a major character in one canon game. like he’s such a strong character with such a strong personality it doesn’t feel like he was only prominent in one canon game at ALL. he feels almost as ever-present and beloved as someone like daigo and yet he’s basically never even mentioned after kiwami 2. that’s so crazy to me.

yeah i can’t stop thinking about the parallels between hearth and alex’s backstories… they were both born into a life that, under slightly different circumstances, would have offered them a lot of privilege. their families had a ton of money and a good social status, and hearth and alex were, in many ways, set up for success.

but there was a catalyst for each of them, something that ended up setting them up for failure instead - the way hearth’s father reacted to him being deaf and alex’s father reacted to her being trans. both of them, despite being born into a life that would have offered them plenty, ended up ostracized and shunned from their families. constantly ridiculed and criticized and blamed for something they couldn’t control and didn’t ask for, but in a better world should have been able to celebrate. hearth should have been able to celebrate his deafness and alex should have been able to celebrate her transness, but they were both robbed of that. they were robbed of their childhoods, growing up in toxic environments and spending their formative years being abused, all for some of the only people in their lives who understood them or cared about them to die.

and yet, each of them were able to cut ties and make their own way in the world. they both managed to build a better life from the ground up, bringing together a solid group of friends to spend the rest of their life (or afterlife) with. they were both taught to hate themselves, spent every day of their childhoods being mistreated by their fathers and told they were worthless, and yet in the end they both manage to undo all that and learn how to love themselves. they learn how to celebrate the very same parts of themselves that their fathers tried to stamp out, choosing instead to surround themselves by people who care about them.

additionally, they both embody the paradox of wanting to distance themselves from their parentage and yet simultaneously reclaim it. alex wants nothing to do with any of her parents, yet deliberately reclaims loki’s urnes snake symbol. hearth has no desire to be associated with his father or former life, but reclaims the rune of inheritance.

but in reclaiming their past, neither of them return to it. alex doesn't try to go back to her house after being kicked out. hearth accepts the othala rune in the end, but after his father is killed, never returns to alfheim again. they take what's theirs, leave, and never look back. so, both of their journeys ultimately involve leaving their former lives behind - giving up privilege, wealth, social status, and the acceptance of others in order to be themselves. becoming the people they want to be, rather than the people society and their fathers wanted them to be.

i  think  al  reacts  poorly  to  other  people  expressing  concern  because  he  employs  a  HEFTY  amount  of  delusion  as  a  defense  mechanism  and  he  doesn't  like  having  the  illusion  shattered.
