Terrorheads r always dunking on goodsir for the moral absolutism & then having absolutely no nuance in their own conceptions of good & evil. Like when goodsir finally snaps & poisons the mutineers ppl are like "oh see hes a bad person cus he couldnt forgive them cus he only thinks in black & white!!!!" but like bro. If somebody kidnapped u and forced u to carve up your coworkers' bodies for consumption u would not feel too friendly toward them i think. Or just how ppl talk abt goodsir in general. Like yeah he believes in colonizer shit, he was raised by colonizers. Every1 on the ships believes in colonizer shit i fear. But he gets more shit abt it than anyone else bc theres this weird conception that its worse to try and do good and get it wrong than to just straight up act out of vanity or greed. Not that goodsir should be absolved of anything, but its weird how ppl have so little empathy for characters whose desire to do good is tainted by ideological conditioning. Like bro i hate to break it to u. We all have ideological conditioning. If u act like thats some inherent moral flaw and not the inevitable product of living in a society and absorbing that society's beliefs, u will have a very hard time recognizing it outside of tv shows where people are just characters.

Also theres a difference between having no empathy for franklins men bc ur pissed at them and having no empathy out of principle. I feel like theres some recognition of personhood that comes w putting someone on the receiving end of a human emotion like anger, whereas if ur just like "logically i know colonizer bad, so empathy for colonizer = bad," ur putting them on a subhuman level out of the reach of emotion. U dont feel anger or empathy for them. U never find out what u feel toward them bc without accepting the possibility that u might reach muddy, nuanced, morally frustrating conclusions, theres no wiggle room to feel what u feel. But then u never get to feel the anger either. U cant understand things from either side bc once u start trying to sort everything into concrete moral categories, then ur not understanding individuals, ur defining variables, and everything becomes theoretical. I feel like thats part of the reason why when ppl put the expedition on the level of the subhuman, they often elevate the netsilik to the superhuman. Like ppl have a weirdly hard time conceptualizing that silna has complex motivations & is capable of developing complex relationships w other characters? Theyre just like "oh wow shes being so nice to goodsir, she must have stockholm syndrome or be wayyy too forgiving." Cus if u imagine franklins men as having one pure and self-contained nature that opposes the pure and self-contained nature of the netsilik, then theres no way they can genuinely interact. They can only touch each other under the guise of something else. Silna must not adequately understand goodsir's role in the fuckery ripping up her world. Which is ridonkulous to me bc her first interaction w him was when his party shot her father & then goodsir prevented him from dying on the ice. Like. She is not under any illusions that this man isnt part of the hurt and destruction. She just finds a way to care abt him anyway. Not bc she's some fountain of forgiveness, but bc despite the things she must hate about him, there are also things she loves. Same w crozier. Idk if she feels affection for him in the same way she does goodsir, but she def doesnt just save him bc shes a saint. She feels anger and bitterness just like any other person, and if she wanted to, she couldve left crozier to die like des voeux. Personally i think she saved him bc he was the only one left who had seen what she'd seen and she didnt wanna have to bear it alone but idk. She had her reasons. Anyway goodsir is literally a butch buttom so the wokes cant even get her. #She positionality on my moral puritanism til i absolve

i just wanted to spread love for sakunirei & yap abt them. (this will be a mess 😖) ahem, anyways, can i just say how much i love the dynamic & friendship between them. their 1st meeting was so funny, making sakura lose his mind bc he didn’t expect that reaction (especially since he’s used to negative reactions thrown at him) & when sakura saved nirei in the beginning & calling him not lame, urghhhh, so precious! seriously, sakura may be awkward with compliments & feelings, but he’s a honest guy & he’s trying his best. i think sakura was confused & probably annoyed at nirei in the beginning, but sakura also just allowed him to be with him & didn’t really try much to get rid of him. in some ways, i think sakura kinda already accepted in his heart. especially since nirei just tagged along w/ sakura in the beginning of school & went with him. in all honesty, sakura had every chance to get rid of nirei, but i think sakura just allowed it & gravitate to nirei bc he’s so… honest (?) & genuine. the fact sakura will get dragged by nirei to places & sakura going along w/ it is so precious. anyways i love how nirei was sakura supporter from the very start & is there by sakura side & the fact sakura just let it happen, it’s as if it was two puzzle pieces matching together w/o much thought. as if it was always meant to be. nirei wanting to help sakura & be his guide, trying to get stronger for him, doing everything he can to help sakura achieve his goals, wanting to see him happy, and just ensuring sakura knows he’s safe & supported here. (especially during the chap when sakura was sick, i think it’s a nice way to show the difference b/w nirei & suo thought process bc nirei wanted to ensure sakura knew he had ppl beside him bc he never had that before, but suo wanted to give him space, which neither was wrong, but i kinda agree more w/ nirei, especially for some1 like sakura who’s been deprived of love, while sakura should have space & take it slow, i think a slight nudge wouldn’t hurt) while sakura will do anything to protect his friends, especially with what happened with nirei during KEEL & when nirei was training w/suo, sakura getting protective bc of that bc he thought some1 hurt him, for sakura his way of showing care/love is through protection & i think to sakura, nirei is his 1st priority (?) in who he protects (while sakura would all his friends, nirei would kinda be 1st). also for nirei he’s scared he won’t catch up to sakura & he’s not needed, or he’s a burden to every1 around him. while sakura feels like he isn’t worth it, that he doesn’t deserve to be happy or in a place where he’s loved & accepted. there both like two sides of a coin, flipping with their own insecurities of who they are & not feeling like they fit it. they’re both similar in that way & it’s bc their different in personalities, yet have a similar fear of not belong, it feels right they’re attached to another (i do hope they have a deep conversation w/ another abt in later chaps). now, during the noroshi arc is literally my fav part. when sakura was fighting when endo & the part where he’s drowning & sinking bc of the snakes/vines(?) and the hand that held him was nirei (!!) like that to me is kinda saying sakura fav is nirei (hj) but really, while every1 else was holding onto sakura on his jacket, the one holding his hand was nirei & nirei literally crying to sakura & saying he’ll fight endo & seeing how much pressure sakura was before the sight started, like damn 😭 (the fact nirei is the one who always pushes sakura’s insecurities away & praises him & always ensures that sakura KNOWS he’s not at fault & that he deserves to be here & that he’s loved & safe here, nirei always melts away sakura’s fear & insecurities) also nirei hugging sakura’s leg was so cute 🥹 but that’s beside the point, what i wanted to say was nirei is literally sakura best friend & vice versa. i truly think the reason sakura got this far is bc of nirei (& many others too).

that’s all i got 👋

[somedeadbeatloz3r69]

LONG ass paragraph/essay of me yapping about how the people who ruined me + how I'm gonna treat myself better bc I've realized I'm better than every1 else, btw U should think UR better than everyone else (no it's not narcissistic, if anything it should be normalized). and stuff like that and yeaaa :3

SECTION 1 I'm gonna start pushing everyone I once was close to away from me, my mind and just my life. I'm gonna start to let go and pretend like we were nothing more than friends. It hurts when I think back on all our memories, but it was nice while it lasted, right? I'm gonna start living for myself. If I meet someone I'm not gonna plan ahead with them what we should do (unless THEY wanna) and I'm gonna meet new people/friends who are like me and who'll accept me for who I am and not make terrible (problematic) jokes. Even then, I'm not gonna get attached or get close to anyone. I'll always feel the void of that person who left me, and it'll hurt, but it's whatever. It does hurt, thinking about how we planned to grow up together n live across from eachother n shi, and it does hurt knowing all those years were wasted, and it does hurt knowing I'll never be that close to anyone again, and if I am I'll still be thinking of you. It hurts knowing how bad they ruined me. But it gets better thinking about how I'll meet people who'll treat me better. Maybe not make better memories, but treat me better. I'll always have a place in my mind for the 4 of the guys who I got close to and they literally ruined me and altered a part of my thinking. But I'll live on. I'll live on for myself this time. And I will think about them everyday, lingering in the back of my mind, but I'll act like I'm not. and I'll try to block and push away the hurt. I'll always treasure them more than anyone else. secretly. But I'll always hate them more than anyone else, publicly. I'm gonna be a new person. It's a new start with new people and I'm gonna try and do it better. I'll start keeping track of my feelings and instead of trauma dumping to people I know I'll start writing down how I feel. (or venting to tumblr because like hey tumblrs free therapy) SECTION 2 for awhile I've been putting my trust in people and getting close to them. and every time they end our 'friendship' they take away a piece of my feelings or some shit. Every time it happens it hurts for a less amount of time and I hate it. it's weird and I wanna continue to weep over it but I just can't. I just tell myself, 'oh well, it was nice while it lasted.' and I think that's just me letting everything go. I don't really care if anyone am/was close to leaves me in some sort of way. I just brush it off and pretend we were never close. I feel like it's some sort of way to cope. That or I'm used to it by now. Which is weird, because I shouldn't feel like this when my favorite person ever just dropped me. Shouldn't I be crying? screaming in pain or betrayal? no. Instead I'm just detached from reality, sitting and staring at whatever's in front of me, robbed of my feelings and perspective of what's real or not. It's so crazy. What do you mean we're never gonna do all that shit? What do you mean I can't just look at an airplane anymore and think 'I'm gonna be in those to meet up w/ him one day.'? It's so weird. It's like I hate and love(platonically) everyone who I've gotten close to. I can't let go but I can. I don't understand any of this.

[benevadeca]

Yet another needlessly long hamefura post by yrs truly. ♡ love you guys.

Been thinking at the ideal gerald - katarina dynamic endgame...and listen Nothing specifically against gerald/katarina (geokata??), as a Ship, but I genuinely don't get the popularity other than for the fact of him being the "main"/having the most screentime, when the idea of them staying as friends is on a textual level just a lot more compelling.

Like ig part of it is bc of how hard the author herself seems to be pushing it (and keith too, which is itself kind of a Whole seperate bag of worms I don't think needs to be explained bc I'm normal)

For gerald tho tbh part of my issue is how the further into the LN u get the less the novel stays a parody and instead just becomes a generic emulation of the same boring anime tropes, but still....listen the META of platonic katarina - gerald end game pls let me sell it to everyone:

The Best ending concept for gerald and kat's relationship is katarina turning him down, and they break their engagement and every1 else is like oh thank god, but then w that hurdle finally cleared they're free to become Best Friends and every1 collectively realizes that oh no they're insufferable together actually.

Gerald's Whole Thing as a character is he's been the perfect want-for-nothing prince, and so the reason he's so putting his eggs in katarina's basket, is she is very much the meet cute who defrosted his ice queen shell and made him learn to connect with other people. So on a certain level the depth of his emotions kind of stems from insecurity?

He doesn't want to lose the person that's kind of his safe space (which I would argue is the main catalyst / reason for most of the cast's love for her), that he feels most comfortable with being genuine bc he knows that she both sees him as he is, and accepts him for it. He doesn't want to lose her! And he feels the most unquestionable, permanent way to assure that is thru marriage.

And the 2nd thing abt him is that his biggest character trait is that he never fails at anything, so for him to "fail" in the sense that he does not get the desired result of his pining...the one thing that actually “matters”/he actually cares abt....it’s spicy. The potential for character introspection and growth, it’s a fertile ground scenario!

Just...the idea of him not getting what he wants / more generally, the whole "fight" for kat's love as treated or framed as this battle with only one winner, and the idea of her love being treated as a "prize", and all of these tenants/preconstructions never being analyzed or second-guessed by the narrative ....  get that shit out here!! Hell no!! Learning to accept that sometimes you don't get what you per say want, but I doesn't mean you lose! It doesn't mean what you do have is something lesser

This is being just a long-winded way to say that my idea geokata endgame is them both finally getting the catharsis they need from airing their grievances to one another (kat and her mild underlying fear, gerald and his view of how much she means to him/being more communicative abt his insecurities), realizing how much they value one another in their lives, the reassurance that kat won't just exit his life just bc she can't fill this expectation of being his queen/wife, and it getting thru to kat her value and affect on the people closest to her (that they won't just betray her, that she's not betraying them). 

And then finally letting down all the barriers they've built up inside themselves preventing them from just. Hanging out? Being friends? No more need for pretenses! They like each other and are secure in their place in one another's lives, as each other's oldest friends....compatriots....besties!!

Also they finally stop dancing around one another enough to shit talk. I want them to be a little bit gossipy together. Gerald gains the confidence to engage in Shit Talk to kat bc he's no longer trying to impress her/feels the need to always put on airs, and she's such a responsive audience u kno? Her stuffing food into her mouth and making all the right "Gasp!" and "No!" and "they Didn't!!" noises.

And Also kat not being afraid to drag him by the ear and tell him off when he's being a bit too Much, or gently mock him when he's being so incredibly Fake. I just think kat has the right to bully gerald, just a little, as a best friends activity. Alan also joins in on this and it's literally gerald's worst nightmare he Hates how well they absolutely rib him.

I've been with my partner for almost 6 yrs and it took me 18 mths to tell her that I'm on tumblr and involved with fandom stuff, and I still haven't told her that I write fic. I love her so much and i love sharing my life with her but there's some stuff that I think I'm just kind of insecure about and I hadn't considered that it's a bad thing that I don't talk to her about this stuff. I'm sad bc every1 is saying how unhealthy this is for elu but sometimes it's hard to talk about this stuff 😔

Oh anon, don’t let anyone (me especially!) make you feel bad about that. Every relationship is different. I won’t tell you what or how much to share with a partner. Especially when dealing with insecurities. That shit can take some serious time to overcome!

With that said, Elu are a fictional couple we can judge as such. We watched the intimate developments of their relationship. As a matter of fact, we watched that intimacy develop at lighting speed and with an intensity you truly don’t tend to see in real life relationships (because, you know, pacing be a bit different when dealing with 10 eps and limited clip time haha). We also watched how lying and keeping things from one another nearly destroyed them both, and very nearly cost them their relationship. Their relationship is most certainly not your own. And my opinions and criticisms of the way this is being written really and truly does not reflect on you or your relationship. As you say, it can be really hard to talk about some things with a partner, particularly if you feel insecure about them. Intimacy and trust develops at different paces for different people. Don’t rush yourself. Do what makes you comfortable and happy in your relationship. And just keep in mind that any of my thoughts or opinions when it comes to Elu and their relationship are done with a very intimate view into their relationship - that’s just nothing I would be allowed in real life when it comes to someone else’s relationship - nor should it be. I’m being ranty and pouty about a fictional couple, it is not my intention whatsoever to make you feel bad about your relationship while doing so. So please accept my apologies if I have and I am sending you virtual hugs! 💗💗💗

Ranma 2/4

Part  Two: Chapter 13 - 25

Unless someone comes up with a better name I’m sticking with this one

HOW tf is the principal crazier than before?!

Yup, spreading out the Kuno-Principal thing

Is Sasuke seriously an anime-only?!?

Like I said Ryoga needs to chill a little first

Main reason I don’t like Ukyo That scene where she blatantly states she’s fine with turning Ranma into something he’s not rather than helping him

(Ignoring the near constant amount of undermining his abilities)

“I’m gonna cheer him up” as she holds a sword! Why?!

 Ranma you dummy, hug Akane!

I hate this demon/ghost cat

Shampoo, you manipulative bitch

Akane learns to swim like a normal person

The lifeguard in me can’t do it

 The principal is background shenanigans

Totally forgot about the kid who wants to play video games and is “weak” bc of it

Definitely need to find a different reason tho

 Lazy little shits are a pain

Also his mom is crap

 Akane… why you be dumb?

 Weird Happosai is Santa plot…

What is with the Excalibur meets lucky 1000 meets fairy godmother?

Good news is, with what I’ve done to Kuno’s understanding of Ranma’s curse Ranma knows Kuno wouldn’t give him that wish and calls it quits sooner

Someone just needs to explain Ranma’s really confusing sense of morality to me

 Cuz it’s either on 110% or it’s nonexistent, now normally nonexistent is for Kuno but still

 Look Ranma’s got ego problems but he ain’t stupid

No betting the Tendo Dojo at five!

 On what planet is that a legal document?!?

Some1 tell me why Shampoo using Ranma as a stop ramp bugs me so bad

That mo when you can’t remember if the Hot Spring Challenge is when Ukyo met Shampoo in the anime…

I don’t think so…

Akane you made me need to google a word

That like never happens Ranma you idiot

So close but so far

So much more logic, thanks

I mean more insanity, but it explains why Ranma swapped clothes

Finally! Ranma apologizes

Jesus Christ someone would think I won the goddamn lotto with how loud I cheered when this happened

600% approve of this over what happened in the anime

Oof poor Ranma

Hahahaha in your face Shampoo, but I also think I know why Ranma chose it

Poor Ryoga

I KNEW this guy was coming I still hate it

YEET you can’t PAY ME to  do this arc

Look, is it the fact that I had etiquette and dance classes as a child and everyone assumed this is what it was like? Probably.

It wasn’t so I won’t.

Any1 else notice how Nabiki is one of the few ppl that uses she/her when Ranma is in his cursed form no matter what?

Why does this bug me?

Akane, stop beating Ranma up, honestly

This is closer to abuse rather than teasing

*sighs*

 Gotta work that out of the narrative, intentional or not

Every1 sayin she’s violent isn’t helping

Like I said really fucking morally GREY Nabiki

How grey can you go before you get black? 

 Let’s find out together

Can everyone PLEASE stop treating Ranma like an object?!

 I literally can’t tell if Nabiki is fucking Aro or not…

STRESS

Why is this so hard?!

I hate seeing Akane cry

I know she’s playing Ranma like a kazoo, but the point still stands

WHY ARE YOU TWO SO DUMB?!

Nope, nevermind it’s just Ranma that’s a fuckin idiot I blame Genma

No, I’m not kidding

*sighs* I don’t condone Nabiki doing this in any way just for the record THAT’S not an apology Ranma!

This mess is totally your fault Nabiki

STRESS

am I intentionally pointing out where this work of fiction is stressing me out since I’m now online schooling and suffering for it? Yes, fuck off.

 Actually, don’t.

But Fuck Covid19

Aww his hat’s back!

Why do I love his hat so much?

No, seriously Akane’s so cute!

Oooww tree

y’know the sec she realized what Ranma was doing Nabiki should’ve TOLD him!

Congrats Ranma ya got the wrong sis- I mean the right- but wrong- dammit y’know what I mean

Some1 give me a logical explanation for why Ranma goes on a date with a panda doodle, PLEASE

I do appreciate the epic battle background fight for the anime

Further proof that Happosai sucks

Manga name’s somehow less believable I think it’s the use of “snowman” rather than “yeti”

Did Soun just find out that Pchan is Ryoga, and say nothing?

Ooo, Imma commit arson

Remember when I said obey Physics and Medical, I meant it

Arson is wrong and I know this but “transgender bitch” crosses the line

I will do it

Shampoo is a fucking yandere psycho

Just sayin “we’ll see who can get him first” 

honestly, any other group and I’d be annoyed, but these four can’t work together for shit I

’m still pissed at Taro, but he can kill Happosai, please

I can’t tell if Shampoo, Mousse and Ryoga are being purposefully obtuse or not

I just reread their names I know the answer to at least two of them

Idk how I feel about Kuno-amnesia we’ll see

yep, Kuno gives me the creeps w or w/out his memories

kinda wish this was anime

jesus christ, poor Ranma

press f to pay respects for Ranma’s stomach

InstaRegret

 Also Ukyo’s assumption that some1 can make Ranma doing anythin he doesn’t want to is crap

Like HELLO! Wake up moron!

Nabiki, I mean this in the nicest way possible, shut the fuck up

You’re making it worse

Also TALK to each other you ding dongs!

OH RIGHT! I almost forgot about the biggest fucking insult that Ukyo said of her own freewill!

It also proves that she doesn’t know Ranma as a person AT ALL!

It’s not a pick one or the other kind of thing

The fact that she thinks Ranma would accept that is insulting

The fact that she thinks that is insulting and makes me hate the patriarchy

Again, treating him like a prize than a person

*tries not scream, sighs*

Nabiki, you’re the cause of at least 30% of the stress I get from this

You having feelings ain’t the fucking problem here Ukyo, you not acknowledging Ranma’s is

 I hate fake criers, anyone who does this I hate you

Always let others in on your plans, kids

When’s every1 gonna realize Ranma’s “wishy-washy” cuz no one’s ever committed to HIM before?

This episode confused me, I’m prepared to be MORE confused

Less confused, I’m surprised

 Gonsunkugi, you creep

There is SO much wrong with this

*shudders*

WHAT?!

Y’know I didn’t think Gosunkugi could surprise me, I was wrong

Happosai still sucks unfortunately for all of us he’s now weird on top of it

I love how much Ranma needs to be kicked in the teeth to get any character development out of him

Ryoga is my #1 choice for it, always

Ranma… why are you like this?

Genma, emotional range of a goddamn wall

I am jealous of Ranma’s brain

I could be SO mean with the Shishihokodan

Also, are they implying that Ryoga has depression?

Gimme Ranma’s brain

I won’t ask for his confidence cuz that’s impossible but I want his brain

In Akane’s defense, given what she knows she couldn’t’ve known how badly that would affect Ryoga

 I ain’t gonna say “leave Shampoo” cuz that’s cruel

I like the “turn into a Cat” rather than the “Can’t Cross” & the use of New Year’s rather than random but this still brings around the fact that she doesn’t LISTEN to him

Mousse you’re NOT helping in fact you’re actively making it worse did you miss when he said blatantly “I don’t wanna”

oh, sure, NOW you’re ok with it

ugh Mousse, you have a brain, I’ve SEEN you use it. Do so now.

This entire episode weirded me out

IDK if it’s the age-dff or the fact that he was makin it up and somehow everyone thought this was okay … 

I won’t YEET it but MASSIVELY change

heheheh

Light bulb

NOPE I’m keeping this surprise to myself

it was a rather sweet end tho

Oh, this episode is a mess and a half, honestly

Also Nabiki, congrats you’ve literally enabled a stalker S

o many laws are broken here

okay, so Kodachi not being in on Ranma’s secret after so long makes sense purely because she doesn’t go to their school

however, with what i’ve done to make Kuno marginally less dumb it makes a little bit less sense…

I literally hate Kuno with what I’ve done to his logic of Ranma’s transformation, but that’s the point Kodachi… how do I handle you… oh, duh!

Ok, so Kodachi is now also terrible

 I’m trying to figure out where this is in the plot since there is ZERO

Ok, there’s a LINE, Nabiki

This one would be touching, if it didn’t end the way it does

TALK gentlemen! 

It won’t kill you

Fuck a parent that says they’re not your parent for no reason, EVER

I am going to make this hurt

 Also gonna take out Genma’s fail at stealth

 Remember I said Akane’s going to learn to cook

heheheh

sorry, I just love this idea

Oh this is SO against the rules it’s not even funny

 tiny adjustment so they actually have quasi-competent referees

Crazy wants crazy?I won’t stop ‘em

I reiterate: CHEATING!

I am aware that the “ending” apparently sets them back to the start in terms of their relationship but I swear to God if they pretend shit like this didn’t happen I will scream

 Someone ships something other than Akane x Ranma PLEASE explain why/how

don’t ship bash but I would insight when you explain 

STICK TO CANON

please trust me, I’m a multi/poly/crack shipper

(for frame of reference to a bnha I ship DabiHawks)

I understand the appeal of Fanon

however, I would like to stick to Canon here

so no Fanon

Canon Only

Fully love that high kick

Genma shows Ranma’s secret here, but they already know… so… I shall find out

Ooo, you’re not getting out of this Ranma

Do you know how tempting it is for Akane to at least tell Ranma she’s a girl- oh wait gendered sports… right…

Ranma… 

if you didn’t realize it was Akane when she hit you for calling her klutzy I can’t help you

I want to commit arson at some of the comments…

but can confirm that these are HS boys

 Doesn’t mean I gotta like it

I was wondering how long I was going to have to wait before tearing into Nodoka

FINALLY

Took me WAY too long to remember that Nodoka calling Ranko tomboyish is due to how he speaks in Japanese

I’ll need to figure that out since… English

Can I explode on Genma’s choice to take Ranma at TWO?!

Can I further explode on both of them for making a TWO YEAR OLD “sign” a Seppuku Pledge?!

I hate both of them, honest

ALSO communication! 

Genma! Just fucking TELL HIM!

Making her transphobic is SO tempting

I don’t mean in a “i hate you” way I mean in a “I sheltered my whole life” way

 It’s still bad, and painful, but she can easily learn from that

Or be worse, this could go 2 ways

I feel so bad for Akane for this entire conversation

Also poor Ranma like ouch… 

 Awkward

I’m going to make this hurt something fierce

Slight change since I’m hoping Ranma isn’t as “peak fight or flight” by this point

Genma don’t be an asshole for FIVE MINUTES

Please, that’s all I want

If she doesn’t learn the truth before the end I will make a bad decision

Really, I will

Don’t kill Genma, you can’t

 Akane, don’t say like you wouldn’t… honestly

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth, honestly, just look the other way Ranma

*sigh* 

Ranma…

See, this kind of crap here is why I really don’t like Cologne

any other day Akane’d be right

oof, that means he self aware that girls flock to him

I’m quite frustrated by that if I’m honest

Ranma is clueless about all the wrong things

I love him but God I wanna punch him sometimes

Why is there a swing from the ceiling?!

I had a jolt from the way they set that panel up, thanks

Are you trying to kill me?!

Thank you Cologne, now fuck off

Oh thank God, at least he learned

This is nonanime stuff so I have no clue what’s happening but anything to make Happosai miserable

I’m enjoying this immensely

 ugh, “think of it as a compliment” ghost

Eat me

 okay, yeah, as much as I want him dead, that’s worse

I’m glad he’s not a one-and-done character

I will forever ONLY call him Taro when it is NonDialogue

Wait Saffron as in big-bad Saffron?

I literally only know pieces of the end so I’m just pulling from what I know

Lol, wait… was that soldier Anime only too?

I almost liked you there for a sec Taro

Now I’m pissed again

bravo

Oh, YIKES

… if Ranma falls into the Spring of Drowned Twins would he split?

 I’m not going to DO IT, obviously!

I’m just curious okay… 

that answers that… and kills anyone other than Ranma’s plan to turn back to normal I hope everyone is aware of that

oof

Since when is there a castle on an island in Japan

tis just a scratch, I’ll admit that was funny

Ranma… your stomach gets you in so many problems

ok, that was wholesome

I approve

Okay, so my understanding is that Mrs. Tendo got sick, so I can understand the reactions to Kasumi

BUT I still find it odd because… well… anyone in my house gets sick and you mostly can’t even tell I mean, minus a worse attitude and a mask, other than that though, nope we keep ‘er movin’

 I’m moving this section sooner EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!

I like her mom’s cookbook tho

I could make a Ranma x Ryoga joke here, but I won’t

I also won’t make a Ranma x Ryoga joke chapter cuz I’m nice like that

Actually I might have no choice

I’m FINE just dying

 Help

my multishipper heart is dying here

 I love this

InstaRegret for THREE people

If nothing else, I’m impressed

(well three once Ranma’s back to normal)

I need help

Fangirling/Fanboying/Fanpeopling is dangerous folks, remember that

Poor Ryoga

Though I too feel that right now like where do I look because everything coming in at mach 6

I’m changing that one scene tho cuz I can’t justify the aftermath without it

This… is… weird to say the least

I feel like I should just expect anything with Gosunkugi remotely involved to be weird at this point

okay, not as weird as I expected

glad it was short tho

I think I am officially out of anime terf

YAY, new content!

This is why I ask about any ship that isn’t Ranma x Akane

Also, names?

That- that- that can’t... 

I DIDN’T NEED TO KNOW THAT!

EWWW

gross

WHY?!?!!

also, biology, that’s not how that works!!

You two ARE idiots

Ryoga you die I’ll kill you

Well… that hurt to see so quick…

Ranma, get up!

I officially hate this Herb guy

ok, so if you put HOT water in the ladle do you stay that way forever?

Alright! Way to go Ryoga!

I need to stop shipping Rivals it’s bad for my health

fucking eat it you dick!

 Poor Akane

nevermind, Ranma you idiot

awwwww

ok, so that whole no more Anime-content… I was wrong, and I admit that, but still

I’m just thinking of my bff when they realize she’s an adult cuz, yeah, she’s like that too

 except like physically an adult unlike tiny-Hinako

 oh MY GOD Ukyo you’re driving me up the goddamn wall I swear!

THANK YOU AKANE!

 “You’re all Ranma’s fiancées” when only one of them actually is 

GIANT SIGH OF ANNOYANCE

Ranma, learn to communicate, PLEASE!

Okay… so is this where they figured it out or are some ppl still in the dark?

TIMELINE!!

Honestly, mood Ranma, mood

This entire plot line confuses me if I’m being totally honest

I mean I live for the Akane focus, but there are so many better ways to do this

[spelllingandthemysteryschool]

hi yaz im reading ur college posts and i just wanted to say that i was in ur situation when i was a senior (in my case i never actually applied to any major unis bc i was so afraid of rejection that i just never got around to it) and that i made myself believe i wasnt good enough compared to every1 else that was applying so why even bother but i just want to let u know that it is okay to not go to university, or to go to a state or local community college just to get started--

–because college is definitely not for everyone and im not sure what ur options are but if u are scared or worried but still want to start somewhere, then community colleges are always there and are amazing to attend at ur own pace, either online or on campus! i wish u the best of luck and all my love n support in these times for u 💕💘💗💖🍊🌻🌹🌸🌼⚘💚💖🧡❤💙💫

thank u so much for the kind wishes rhea :-( my problem is that my brown parents don’t understand how impossible this process is to navigate & naturally expect a lot of me as a first-and-a-half gen immigrant. so if i do not get into somewhere even a little Prestigious they will hate me & my life will be a living hell for the next four years, which is what’s really been worrying me. but ultimately you’re right! there are plenty of options out there & if i don’t get into the sort of school my family wants…..i can still get a perfectly good education & probably not drown in debt for the rest of my life & they’ll just have to accept it! so hah! also ily 💓

Twitter Threads (or That One Time Tony Dialled It Up to Eleven)

Summary: Social media is hard and full of trolls, and Tony has poor impulse control.

Notes: I hate this so much. Less cracky than I wanted it, because I suck at writing humour. Fill K-3 for the Tony Stark Bingo 2019: Gossip Press. Unbeta'd as per usual. Any relation to existing twitter handles is entirely coincidental.

Warnings: Social Media, Twitter, Homophobic Language, Sexist Language, Ableist Language, Internet, Trolls, Protective Tony Stark, Tony Stark Has A Heart, Tony Goes On A Rampage

No one can say that Tony’s ever had good impulse control, especially about people he loves.

“What are you doing?”

He doesn’t bother looking up from his tablet, backing away from that thread because he has no interest in seeing the replies, and hunting for the next war he can wage. “Destressing,” he replies gleefully, clicking on a thread that mentions Pepper. He can feel Rhodey behind him – and, what’s more, he can feel the disapproval seeping out of his pores too now that he’s peeking over Tony’s shoulder – but he’s on a roll, and fuck impulse control when he can sass and bitch on twitter. Some people just need to be removed from the genetic pool of the human race and not be allowed to procreate, honestly.

Somewhere in bumbfuck-nowhere, Fury is having a coronary and Stephen is rolling his eyes so hard they’re permanently lodged in his cranium.

“You know, I’m not even remotely bi-curious and I would totally tap that,” Rhodey says absently, though his lips are quirking into a smirk.

Tony rolls his eyes. “Hands off, you little shit, or I’ll tweet about that one time in MIT when you ate that—”

“Fuck you.”

“Been there, done that,” Tony quips cheerfully. “Not remotely bi-curious my ass—”

“You know what’s better than picking fights with twelve-year-olds on twitter? Kicking your ass right here. You come at me, Stank.”

Tony opens his mouth to reply but then gasps, already losing himself in another thread after sending a middle finger emoji into the last one.

Tony reacts immediately, trying to make a break for it, but Rhodey’s already tackling him into the couch, a hundred and ninety pounds of lean muscle and pretty Class As. Tony hisses breathlessly, the wind knocked out of him, and he struggles valiantly to keep his hands on his tablet while Rhodey does his best to rip it away. He doesn’t have a very good position so he makes a hair-brained, split-second decision to throw his body weight to the side, making them both roll off the couch. Rhodey’s a jerk though, and manages to react fast enough so that Tony takes the brunt of the impact, and he can’t even help but groan in a mixture of mild pain and disappointment as he feels the tablet being removed from his lax fingers.

“Sucks to be you, Stank,” he says breathlessly, fingers flying over the keyboard, and Tony cranes his neck until he can read Rhodey’s reply (and on Tony’s fucking account what in the hell!):

@YouKnowWhoIAm replied: I think I broke your hot mess of a husband, Stephen. Come collect him before he murders me with his eyes or gets his hands on another electronic device. We’re in the lab.

Three seconds later, Stephen walks through a portal, looking oh-so-fucking-gorgeous in his battle robes, and wearing a scowl of irritation that bodes well for rough, mock-angry sex in the near future.

Tony grins unapologetically, and abandons the lure of social media in exchange for his pseudo husband.

It’s an easy choice.

So u think it’s ok that Nora is pushing Iris away for something she hasn’t done yet? This isn’t just a random person, it’s her mother! Imagine if u were in Iris’s shoes and ur daughter ignored u for no reason. It’s not a real reason because she hasn’t done anything yet! U could say pple can’t just turn off their feelings when they see someone that hurt them. If we are pretending that this mother-daughter rship is like every1 else, Iris could say she’s had enough and then what?? It’s unnecessary

Hold on 👀Cause it seems like you’re already lost from your first question…It doesn’t matter that in this time Iris technically has yet to do what she’s ‘going’ to do. In the perspective of Nora it’s been done. There’s a knowledge she now has of what her mother is capable of. That doesn’t go away just cause she’s traveled back in time 😒. That’s not how the shit works.

I personally don’t think either is right or wrong. I think they both made decisions based on how they felt and there’s consequences of that and there’s a journey where they can shatter their relationship or they can come out the other end stronger. That’s just how o see. Parenting is difficult but so is being someone’s offspring no matter what age something takes place. It’s not as though we don’t have these discussions in real life. There’s commercials that talk about gps your kid so you know where they’re at at all times. Phone apps and camera usage so they can show you where they’re at and some parents use these tools in ways they define as protecting their child. But the one these tools are being used on can feel like they’re being controlled, as though their chooses and decisions are being forced out of their hands.

This is the point of Iris and Nora. It’s grayscale. There’s no this person is wrong. Iris may have meant to protect and that’s her job as a mother but on the other hand Nora’s right too - Iris took her rightful decision and a part of her identity and she has a right to be upset about that. Personally like grayscale stories cause they’re more real. I just hope they don’t ruin it by having Nora bend. The fair end is for Nora to come to a space where she accept the good and the bad of her parents love - I accept that you were protecting me mom but I wish you’d found another way. And for Iris to accept that consequences comes with actions not bad intentions - I understand why you were mad…but if put in the exact same situation I would still choose to protect you. On both ends it’s not pretty but it’s raw and real and more like real life. But that’s just me 🤷🏾‍♀️

[flameohs-blog]

Can you do a meta for Zuko on his Uncle Iroh, and the most significant lessons / pieces of wisdom that he learned from him?

META    ↪ ACCEPTING / @proditeur​​

ohh boyyy… i’m gonna have to do yet another rewatch to answer this to the fullest. i honestly don’t have the time to do that right now but i do want to answer this question since my muse for atla seems to be really strong these days. i’m gonna start by splitting this into different sections because i feel like there’s A Lot i could say. i hope everything flows and ya’ll can understand my ramblings lol

zuko & uncle iroh’s relationship

obviously when we’re introduced to the series, one of the first relationships we see is the one between zuko and iroh. u can tell right off the bat that they care about one another a lot, mostly u can tell from iroh more than zuko in the beginning until that changes later on. it’s def one of the strongest relationships we see throughout the series. i don’t rmr if the series explained why iroh had left with zuko after his banishment like whether that was thru iroh’s own volition or if he was driven out by ozai as well. either way, we all know that iroh thinks of zuko as a son after his own died.

i think that’s because zuko and iroh share similarities and iroh sees that. iroh sees the potential zuko has. in the beginning, zuko is an angry individual. he gets mad easily. he gets upset easily. he gets frustrated. we do see other parts of his personality and eventually we do see him change and he becomes more like iroh in a way. here’s the thing, though. while i do believe that zuko learned a lot from his uncle…

i’m going to argue that zuko learned a lot from everyone he ever interacted with as well. not saying that his relationship with his uncle isn’t important because, i mean, it IS. their relationship was introduced to us from the very beginning so of course it’s important. the thing i’m trying to get at is that although it was iroh who was there to guide zuko in a way on his journey, it was actually zuko who helped himself. iroh never rlly told zuko what to do with his life, it was zuko who figured it out on his own. it was zuko who realized his mistakes and learned from them and grew as a person.

zuko as an individual

i’ve written this on my other blog and i’ll say it again: zuko’s redemption arc works because he was never truly a bad guy despite his mistakes with the gaang in s1-2. zuko is written as the initial villain but that’s only cos he’s hunting the avatar who has been established as the protagonist of our series. he treats aang & co as his enemies BUT he treats other people just fine for the most part. and we see that from the very beginning like in the very first episode where he promises to leave the water tribe alone if aang goes with him or in a few episodes later where he foregoes chasing appa (+ aang) bc the most important  task at hand is getting his ship and his crew out of the bad weather and into safety. 

the only reason he’s chasing the avatar is bc in his mind that’s what’s gonna gain his father’s approval. and zuko in the first 2 seasons wants nothing more than his father’s love & acceptance & approval esp since his mother is no longer in the picture. and, you know, i’m sure zuko knows from an early age that his father isn’t the best person and nor is he the best parent but… all that is put aside simply bc of the fact that ozai is his father. they are blood related. and ppl can pretend like that doesn’t matter but when you’re young, when that’s all you have, it fucking matters. i can’t explain it well atm but children want the love & acceptance & approval from their parents. it’s normal. toph is another example of this, she wants those things but doesn’t have them. their situations in a way are similar yet manifests in different outcomes.

zuko’s drive to find the avatar and take him to the fire nation is only because of his desire for his father’s approval. but the thing is that zuko was always torn between his allegiance to his father and, idk, his allegiance to be himself. zuko is not like ozai or sozin or azulon. he isn’t like azula either. he doesn’t rlly share the same ideals they do in regards to the fire nation being #1 in the world or superior to other nations or however u wanna describe it. even if he didn’t get banished, i rlly don’t believe he’d turn into the type of person the previous generations of firelords were. i think ozai saw this in zuko and that’s why he favored azula over him. it was azula who possessed the traits ozai thought was important, not zuko. but what ozai considers weakness in zuko turns out to be his greatest strengths.

underneath all that anger in the beginning, zuko was always… kind in his own ways. and he learns to be open to change and growth. in season 2 when we see him free appa from underground and throw away his blue spirit mask, it’s supposed to symbolize this awakening/change in him. but in the end of season 2, he chooses to side with azula again because like i’ve said before his desire for his father’s approval is greater than his desire for… idk… whatever else. he’s still confused. as much as i wanted zuko to join the gaang earlier, it wasn’t time for him to. we had to wait until literally halfway thru book 3 to see that and it was a lil annoying cos i would have loved to see him join earlier so they could have all had more interactions but!!!!!! i truly don’t believe that zuko throwing away the blue spirit mask was enough, hence the betrayal at the end of s2. someone could be there to guide you or influence you but ultimately your decisions in life are your own. 

lessons zuko has learned on his journey 

a) episode 2x09 - bitter work

there’s a scene where iroh is explaining all four elements to zuko and how each element contributes to different nations’ idk personalities or culture or whatever. and i always thought that scene was beautiful bc iroh isn’t insulting other nations, he’s describing their strengths. and then iroh says: 

“it is important to draw wisdom from many different places. if you take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. understand others–the other elements–and the other nations will help you become whole.”

like i honestly think zuko kinda already knew that but it was never worded to him that way. we see him also learn it on his own when he parts ways with his uncle and he’s off traveling on his own. zuko has also traveled the world for years after his banishment. there’s no way he’s out there thinking the fire nation’s beliefs are the only ones that matter. he’s learned a lot from his travels imo. about himself and about others. 

this is also the episode where iroh teaches zuko how to redirect lightning so, yanno, there’s that. in one of the earlier episodes, iroh reminds zuko about the breath and how that could save his life in the cold and also another time where he instructs zuko to break zhao’s root during a duel or whatever. so def iroh not only offers advice/wisdom thru words but also thru teaching zuko firebending.

b) episode 2x17 - lake laogai

imo this episode was Wild to me mostly cos of the confrontation between zuko and his uncle. zuko’s still thinking of capturing the avatar even though at this point he and iroh are fire nation fugitives and on the wanted list. zuko is still confused and torn between being true to himself and being the son his father wants him to be. it’s iroh’s words that honestly hit a lil too close to home for me too lmao. zuko says smth about how he knows his destiny and iroh says:

“is it your own destiny or is it a destiny someone else has tried to force on you? it is time for you to look inward and begin asking yourself the big questions: WHO are you and what do YOU want?”

like i’ve said before, zuko isn’t thinking about what he wants. or maybe he has but it’s not rlly a priority for him. his priority is still pleasing his father and the only way he knows how is to capture aang. he thinks that’s what’s gonna make him happy but…

c) episode 3x06 - the avatar and the firelord

obviously zuko isn’t happy. at this point he’s returned to the fire nation and finally has what he’s wanted for years: ozai’s approval. i’m not gonna say love cos i don’t believe for one second that ozai loved his son lmfao! and nor did he love azula but that’s another story for another day. anyways, zuko thought that “killing” the avatar would make him happy and being back home would make him happy but uh. he’s changed over the years. he’s still confused about what he wants vs what his father wants. 

it’s hard for people to break away from their families, man. it rlly truly is. we as the audience know that that’s what zuko has to do but honestlyyy how many of us irl are kind of in similar positions???? it’s hard to breakaway from family (the ppl who r supposed to support u) when you don’t have other strong connections and lbr zuko doesn’t. he had his uncle and he fucked it up. but anyway this entire episode was WILD and i loved every moment of it. it goes thru the story of avatar roku and his friend sozin. but the plot twist is that roku is zuko’s great grandfather which, tbh, i was not expecting at all LMFAO. maybe it was obvious to every1 else but, man, was i in shock lol. 

the lesson in this episode is that everyone is capable of being good or evil (as aang learns) but the other lesson is that this is kind of what finally pushes zuko to change. i mean he was never truly evil as we’ve seen in the past and he’s made bad decisions but it’s this moment that drives him to come to the goddamn epiphany that, no, he isn’t happy in the fire nation. 

d) episodes 3x10 & 3x11 - the day of black sun

zuko isn’t happy in the fire nation.his father needs to be stopped cos what he’s doing is wrong. and it’s a big fckn risk to defy the firelord and leave the comfort of your home behind… like what if the avatar & co don’t accept zuko into the group? it’s a risk but zuko knows what he has to do and has probably known it for a long time. it’s hard to BREAK AWAY BUT ZUKO FINALLY DID IT. and you know what!!!!!! when zuko stood up to his father and told ozai that now it’s his (ozai’s) turn to listen to zuko……… it was literally the BEST thing ever lmfao. here’s a part of what zuko says:

“i’ve come to an even more important decision. i’m going to join the avatar and i’m going to help him defeat you.”

zuko says “I’VE come to the decision” and i think that’s important cos he came to the decision on his own. like ya his uncle was there for him but honestly like… no one told him to do any of that!!!!! underneath that anger, this is who he is: a kind, compassionate person????? now i don’t even know what i’m trying to get at anymore but i guess just the way he says “but i’ve come to an even more important decision” just gets to me like. it’s important that he made his own choice and wasn’t coerced into it bc that makes his choices more real and genuine. if zuko wasn’t a good person underneath all that anger and bitterness then would he have done this? no, lol. the audience loves zuko’s redemption arc because he never truly bad on the inside, he made mistakes, realized them, made the active decision to do better and be better for others, and does that continuously thru s3 and we can assume after the series ends as well. zuko in s3 isn’t the zuko in s1 and we SEE that and that’s what we love abt his arc.

e) tea

isn’t zuko seen serving tea to every1 in the finale at the very end. like i’m sure iroh taught him how to brew the right cup of tea lmfao!!!!! idk much about diff types of tea but uh there’s diff temperatures u heat the water and how long u steep it and idk guess it’s an art huh

i didn't really get the appeal of gavin until i found your blog and now i'm absolutely in love with him. you've added a lot of depth and nuance to him while still keeping him pretty true to what little characterisation we get in the game and overall it makes an incredibly compelling and interesting character

Big Opinions & What U Think Of What I Do

i get that with a lot of the characters i play/pick up/show interest in. i tend to like characters that are considered ‘burning dumpster fires’ by most of the fandom, or just not worth the attention. I wanna put my interps out and see how they go. For me, character analysis even in the face of very little information is a huge huge thing.i love tearing down and challenging a pre-existing layout, i love looking at a character and going ‘okay this is how they are but what else is there and what can i serve to add from this shit’ and just. Mmm.gavin is a piece of shit, there’s a lot of growth there to him, a lot he needs to learn, but one of the things i look forward to in writing him is everyones muses responding to his actions. because gavin is a very fixable mistake.but with someone like gavin, it’s like. you have to see worth there to potentially make that fix. you don’t want to do that with someone you can’t even sympathize with. so it’s like, find that base human level, but don’t change the overall outcome.gavin, like a lot of similar characters, has been given a very flat existence. this is him, he’s an asshole, so accept it. but what if you DON’T just accept it?

why is he designed so? to fit the rugged detective stereotype? to look more like an asshole in a way that can be easily digested by the consumer? is there more to it like fear – anxiety – personal internal struggles?why does he hate androids? is it just a typical ‘he’s just a racist’ type deal? is he one of the few terrified to lose out to the machine? has he had personal brushes with androids that totally ruined his outlook on them?Theres so many little things, his anger, his outbursts, his mannerisms, his expressions, his designing, it’s all a big old question. how does this sound in a realistic context? how does this sound in a very real state?

when i look at gavin i don’t see ‘Evil’, i see ‘troubled asshole’. i see ‘this person is compensating for something greater’. very much the whole ‘though i walk through the valley of shadow and death’, only gavin does fear evil. he fears what he labels as evil, as something about to take down everything he has.

this goes for all characters like this though.

like Leo Manfred? every1 can look at him and go ‘ok he’s the junkie’ trope but then you think about it. why is he the way he is?

his fathers a famous painter who more than likely partied a fuck ton in his youth, and most likely had Leo with a one night stand. carl most likely was never there, and came in late. leo’s mother? could possibly be a groupie. which could lead to so much. >another poor upbringing?>drugs to cope?>hostility towards dad not being there?>etc

i just???

i love taking characters, pulling them apart at the seams and really just reinventing the wheel with them to the most fine point of their personality. and not all characters are so easily defined, not all can be slapped with a mental or social struggle, some really are just assholes, but even those ones are that way for a reason.

and asks like this are why i love to do it because there’s so much potential with everything that’s created, every character, you just have to find it and make it your own. i wanna give gavin that chance at redemption and i also want to show what it’s like when you try to fight fire with fire.

and yeah!

character analysis is my.hot shit hhhh.

Theres a difference between living and surviving, & i don't really feel like im living anymore. Not much makes me happy anymore, I can laugh...but its on the surface. All I feel day after day is despair...the light & hope inside me is dying, not to mention my whole body hurts & is screaming at me to stop. I cant give up, I cant accept my fate, I just can't 😭 there was 1 person most the year that made me happy & they're gone. They say u have to make your own happiness but thats absolute bullshit when you're alone & theres no one to give u that close comfort & attentive massages every night u so desperately need to keep going!!😭

So when u say let go, move on bri....with me it was never a fucking option to begin with! because that would just mean I'd stop fighting for a purpose & give up.. to run away from it just as they did 💔 The amount of betrayal & dwelling on things done differently that couldve saved us for the better instead nothing was done to fix it...that continues to break my heart & is still so fucking overwhelming sometimes. But I know for a fact that just cause I knew the depth of his darkness, it scared the living hell out of him to have someone around while he did them 😠 & probably a main reason to get rid of me so as for me to not be over his shoulder when searching for more than what I gave. 1st of all for shame & anyone who deliberately lusts over others instead of their partner are scum of the earth! Didnt want me to see that side of him, be true to himself, love himself enough to ever experience it with me, or ever own up & admit how much he fucked up & was an idiot...asking for forgiveness...but no i was tossed away instead...because the man refuses to fucking communicate & thinks everyone else is the problem....u sit in ur own stink & u think everyone else is what stinks, no fuck that & fuck him for making me out to be his problem. But guess what, all that pitiful feeling for yourself is all you...due to depression most likely...but ill be damned if im ever to be blamed for someone's hole theyre actually making themselves!! 🤬 Again, some of the little shit I didn't care...the fact that there was lying & deception shit that was pulled even after all was forgiven...that is what fucking hurts.

Fucking stop it bri you're only pissing yourself off! Mega reeee

So why am I torturing myself over someone so pathetic? Because we all are damn it, we're all fucked up in the head in some way & mentally/emotionally damaged, I honestly dont blame him anymore..cuz I know every1 has their issuse to work on, but its a matter of getting off ones own ass & admit theres something you're doing wrong...in order to work on them thats the tough part. I came to terms with my issues & am well equipped to understand myself more & not let it affect others...but rather keep it inside & have...had outlets as tools. But there's alot of people that don't know how to handle themselves or their emotions in a healthy way...& they end up hurting themselves & those around them. I have learned that being in a loving relationship lifts alot of negative energy & is a great relief being with someone that can comfort u...its very healthy because u have the right support behind u to catch u when u fall...however when it ends out of nowhere & is short lived...its very likely that its very hard to recover from that loss. And when alone, u don't have that special someone to lean on anymore for emotional support & it fucking kills u from the inside til u can find it again...if u can at all.
