#even if I never speak it with anybody

[terresdebrume]

Tonight at dinner I found myself giving a genealogy of why my family is the way it is and I am once again sad that I don't speak creole or have a stronger connection with Guadeloupean culture

I dunno that this is ever going away tbh

I’m still so mentally ill over the whole Luffy refusing to eat unless it’s Sanji’s food thing. Like. We KNOW how fucking feral over food Luffy is. He loves food and loves eating so much that he steals it off other people’s plates and out of their hands and is so impatient when it comes to meals that he’ll literally try and sneak into the kitchen to mooch before it’s ready. Or he’ll try to break into the refrigerator. I know Sanji mentioned putting a lock on it at some point bc Luffy literally wiped it clean. He will not hesitate to eat other people’s portions or literally an entire meal meant for a whole ship of people! He’s unbelievably selfish when it comes to food and that’s just SUCH a central part of his character that it’s become almost endearing. Even in Totto Land Luffy didn’t think for a second before devouring everything in sight, including an entire fucking HOUSE, regardless of the consequences or the people it might affect. Homie did not care!! He’s food driven first and foremost!!!

Until Sanji leaves him. Until he decides that eating—something that he loves and brings him comfort—isn’t WORTH it unless it’s Sanji’s food he’s eating. It’s been shown that Luffy has zero self restraint when it comes to food so the fact that he was SURROUNDED by food on all sides on a food themed island and utterly refused to partake in any of that? Even though he hates being hungry and will always make eating a priority over pretty much anything else?? The amount of willpower it must have taken for him to sit there and purposefully let himself starve, for SANJI. Even when food was offered to him conveniently (in the form of syrup rain) he stubbornly rejected that. Because it wasn’t Sanji’s food. Because it wasn’t Sanji who made it, who always puts so much thought and care into the food he makes, who always indulges Luffy and prepares extra because he knows how much Luffy eats and how much he loves to eat. Luffy literally took one of the most defining traits he has and tossed it out the window. For Sanji. I’m going to fucking blow up

violentine literally has everything. tension to friends to lovers. i wall myself off from people to keep myself safe but theres something about you. we understand each other. going against your group to stand up for this person and what you believe is right. "i saw that you were in danger and i just acted without thinking". battle team. co leaders. "ive lost so many people and i cant lose you too i wont". struggling single parent finding someone who supports her And her kid. not-so-ex-girlfriend one of the main villains. go to war together. captured together. escape together but lost in the chaos and later reuniting. twice. fighting ex together. twice. making it back (mostly) safe and sound and building a real home worth fighting for together

BUT theyre in a choice game so you can also have: betrayal. manipulated by not-so-ex-girlfriend in a moment of severe weakness into agreeing with the wrong side. fighting against each other (and later apologizing). severe injury? DEATH?? no matter what a sacrifice is Made???

i feel a slight weirdness about the huge presence of maned wolves in furry spaces.. as in maned wolves are awesome and one of my favorites animals ever, and they look cool it makes sense why furries like them. but the same way maned wolves and also capybaras are so popular in english internet spaces in art and memes n shit i still feel weirdly defensive about them and somewhat sad that south american animals native from my home country are very appreciated but also it seems like the fact theyre south american is just glossed over and ignored. like does that make sense. that i feel kinda heart broken at seeing a white usamerican furry have a maned wolf fursona and see this animal im familiar with be turned into an American. does it make any sense that for some reason i gatekeep animals

[veatomis]

finished veilguard. i enjoyed it but it was also real bad. the highs were really high the lows extremely low. the only people they really made this game for was solavellans and it should've stayed as an ao3 fic

[viktorharmonia]

havent been online much but i wanted to talk about a specific character that has been extremely mischaracterized and in my opinion deserves better

This guy

I think Volo is an unique character, pretty much misunderstood, but his personality/character is what makes him one of the best characters, i wouldnt count him as a villain even if he summoned Giratina, his pokemon team says otherwise as they require friendship and specific items in order to evolve them, i think this guy loves his pokemon, hell he would die for them.

What upsets me is how the fandom views him, he's portrayed as an evil creep who still wants to take over the world by defeating Arceus WHICH BY THE WAY is not true, he wanted a world with no pain and suffering, you cannot tell me he is just like Cyrus, those two have different goals and ideals, One wants to create a world with no pain, and the other wants to make a world in their own liking and vision, giving an example of the Distortion World as this is what Cyrus wanted exactly.

The other view of the fandom is portraying Volo as a p#dophile, shipping him with literal kids (Akari/Rei, Akari mostly) and treating it as if its nothing bad, we may not know the protagonists canonical age but can only accept/speculate that they are 15 from the PLA dialogues, but if the protagonists actually were adults then their models wouldnt look like they were still teenagers/kids, this is literal pedophilia right there and i dont think Volo would be interested in romance with kids (i headcanoned him as aroace/asexual cuz theres no way this guy would want to be with anybody)

Aside from Volo being the main antagonist/villain in PLA, i think it was stupid to make HIM of all people a villain, Hisui takes place hundreds years past where it was very difficult to survive, i dont knoe much about Japanese history so correct me on that one thank you. with these kinds of conditions i wouldnt even THINK about making this guy a villain, i bet he had a very rough past, how the hell can you make this guy a literal enemy, i may not be a professional writer but i do think it would be better to make Volo rather a good guy and actually want to help people not suffer, afterall the Ginkgo guild is all about selling things/helping people in need with resources they found (may be wrong on that but shut). Also i would portray Volo as an isolated guy, since he (POSSIBLY) had a traumatic past and he was all alone (we have no idea where his parents are/what happend to them), he might have been more distant with people but thanks to the Ginkgo Guild he was able to connect with other people bit by bit and socialize with them and stay positive to not make them feel bad.

(sometimes im wondering what kinda bullsh#t im writing but hey thats just my vision of this guy who i think deserves a lot better than just "haha im evil fear me and my gigantic worm")

[serpercival]

god help me i have made up a childhood friend and eventual boyfriend for a relatively minor character in a show nobody watches but SPECIFICALLY for that version of the character in my insane au. Exactly five of you will read the fic if I write it but oughhhhhhhhhhh i am tempted to write it

[elftwink]

one major difference i have found between service industry work (in my case food service but this is widely applicable to similar jobs) and other public-facing positions is that the job itself is often very similar because people is the same, it's just in service everyone approaches you already thinking they're right and you're a fucking idiot and its their god given right to disrespect you, where in other positions even if they are not nice to you they usually acknowledge that you know more than them on issues pertaining to your job. like the difference in behaviour from people who see you as serving them vs helping them is unreal. i am doing literally the exact same things. customer is always right mentality did irreparable damage to the fabric of society

[actualaster]

I still think the FUNNIEST thing I could do if I ever managed to write the stories in my brain, publish them, and get any kind of decent following would be to destroy the shipping gatekeepers by revealing that EVERY single one of the characters are aroace-spec. Every last one. In fact most of them are 100% hard-core aroace with no attraction to anyone else. That the ones who are into each other are each other's sole exceptions and they would never canonically be interested in any other person.

And, further, that outside of those sole exceptions they're all sex and romance repulsed.

I just think it would be hilarious to watch the "noooooo, you can't headcanon that character as aspec because they're TOTALLY [other identity that they headcanon instead regardless of actual canonical proof, including a lot of times where it's just subtext they interpreted as "totally proof of this one identity" but is actually a more general "Not Het" vibe that is shared across multiple identities]" crowd have a meltdown realizing that they either need to abandon all their shipping outside of those specific ships in order to avoid being hypocrites or that they can accept that people can have different headcanons at times and that shipping doesn't have to respect the source material.

(For the record, as a creator I wouldn't actually tell people they're not allowed to ship things because of canonical identities--shipping is for the fans, not the creator, and it wouldn't be my business. I just think it would be funny payback for all the aphobia that gets tossed at aspec folks over their personal headcanons from shippers who feel threatened for some reason by somebody with an aspec headcanon)

✨ Star Friends ✨

When I found out that @chessman-protocols boy Crit liked Astronomy, let’s just say I was beyond estatic and immediately planned this little comic. Here’s to my boy Vincent doing his best to make friends with folks who share similar interests 😅💙

Funny enough, I didn’t realize I put this in Vincent character’s until I looked at the whole thing, but Vincent very much shares the lack of stranger danger the way I did/ I do to this day. To quote one of my past managers I’m “abnormally friendly” or whatever

I can’t tell you how many times even as a small child (drove my parents nuts) that I saw a cool person with whatever connecting factor and I just straight up walked to them and was like “Ok cool. We’re friends now.” And nobody’s really stopped me? So apparently I have friends now. 😆

Vincent however is just a wholesome baby boy who doesn’t realize he’s actually an intimidating hunk of a turtle and randomly walking up to strangers and not saying anything can be taken the wrong way.

Like I said, he’s trying his best. He wasn’t exactly the most socialized if you can’t tell, but he does love dearly and is certainly a boone of a friend to have once you get past the inevitable social awkwardness. He’s loyal to put because he really doesn’t know better, and I adore him for that. Anyway, dunno if Crit knows any ASL or not, but either way Vincent is just excited to meet somebody else who likes space ✨🌌 💙

warren they could NEVER make me like you

Just checked out Red Peafowl's instagram, I think they are going to release characters and/or ships videos until the 25.

I need some official translation so much.

It's so frustrating that their marketing is one working for me, and two working for me without me having an official translation.

[vulpinesaint]

"how do you handle conflict with people you love" well that's very simple. i just very specifically pick people that i know i will never have any conflicts with ever and then if i do i either avoid it as if it didn't exist or end the relationship in my head entirely. no conflict to handle. very simple

[intcrastra]

Both Robin and Sunday would be the type to gift their significant other smth they could keep on their person at all times. For possessive reasons, but also bc they totally put a tracker in it-

[gh-0-stcup]

The weirdest take I've seen on Reddit is that the show made John Winchester a worse father in the later seasons than he was initially. That the worst he did early on was being a bit distant and training his sons from a young age. And of course, that stuff wasn't that bad because it was necessary to keep them safe.

Just off the top of my head here's what we get from season 1 alone. Dean being traumatized by John's treatment of him following the shtriga attack. John disowning Sam for going to college. John refusing to pick up his phone when Dean is literally dying. John physically intimidating Sam during an argument - one that started simply because Sam refused to go along with whatever John said to do without asking questions. Dean having to physically get between the two of them and having to physically pull them apart before they attacked each other.

There's a load of other stuff from the first 3 seasons as well. If anything, the show took a stronger stance regarding John's terrible parenting in those seasons than any of the later ones. The longer John was dead, the fonder the boys became of him.
