Hey why do we assign moral value to strength and weakness? Strength isn't inherently good or even always useful. Weakness isn't inherently bad or useless. There are applications for weakness to be useful and helpful and same goes for strength, but they're both morally neutral and neither are inherently pure/good or wrong/corrupt or whatever you wanna call it

When people feel unconfortable with smut, it’s usually bc they feel uncomfortable with their own sex life. When people feel uncomfortable with fluff, it’s usually because they don’t like it IRL either. When people feel only confortable with angst, typically indicates unresolved trauma, when people is flexible about all of those genres, regardless of their personal preferences, meaning they don’t feel any discomfort reading it or writing it, whether they particularly like it or not, then it means that person has found balance in all those aspects of their real life and it reflects in their writing/reading.

Our creative outlets are a HUGE tell on our current mental/emotional status. I’m talking about a rigid/flexible spectrum in terms of tolerance, not about subjective tastes. One thing is a taste or preference, a completely different thing is full-on discomfort or even rejection and disgust, when exposed to certain stuff, that’s rigidity. Rigidity is always a 🚩 or at the very least a yellow one.

It’s good to know where we are truly standing, in case we feel we’d like to change that. Keeping in mind this flexibility/rigidity spectrum, we can know where we stand even if in some cases all of these reactions may be somewhat unconscious. Keeping tabs on our triggers is always helpful.

I think very often about the fact that Silver doesn't have any friends from his own time. Even if he did make friends in the future, he would risk erasing them from existence any time he chose to go to the past; and not only would nobody but him realize the loss that happened, but also he would have nobody but himself to blame for causing the loss of his friend.

And that made me wonder: If Silver were to be rendered unable to (seemingly) ever return to the past and got forced to make a life for himself in the future, and then he did, but then suddenly he regained the chance to see his friends from the past again… Under normal circumstances he might've had little qualms about visiting the past again, but after spending potentially years accepting he'll never get to see them again but he's not gonna let that prevent him from living his life… would he be willing to risk losing the life he has now?

Exactly this is a dilemma I like discussing in some of my fics as well, like New Beginnings and Genesis. The choice to go back in time and making a whole world and its inhabitants not exist in the first place is definitely made more easy when that world is beyond rescue and its inhabitants are mostly gone or rapidly dying out anyway. Since the games never dive into Silver's life in the future except some vague mentions here and there, like Silver saying that the sky is blue and everybody's got a smile in Colours DS, I find it hard to infer what his social life would be like there. But indeed, if he brings forth an accidental change to the timeline, it is very likely that people he knew in the future are gone or get fundamentally changed. And if they don't recognise him with each timeline 'reset', I can imagine that for Silver it eventually becomes better to just not have any acquaintances there at all. It leads to too much heartbreak, too many goodbyes, and far too much guilt. No, in such a scenario, I really do think Silver might steel himself and ensure his only friends are ones that are safe in the past, where his control over their lives only extends to ensuring they can keep on living instead of being responsible for their demise. Stopping people from coming into existence is already a tough choice, let alone if it's someone Silver knows, and I think he's got a lot to grapple with conscience-wise about it all.

As for your question in your second paragraph, I'm afraid I don't have a solid answer. I think a lot would hinge on how likely it is his visit to the past immediately changes the entire timeline. If he were to visit on some calm weekend afternoon when there's nothing happening regarding Eggman and the like, I don't think there would be too much chance of things going wrong? But I do think he would be tremendously antsy about it all, both in part because he hasn't seen his friends in the past for so long and in part because he is afraid he's going to lose some friends all over again, but then in the future instead. All in all, it is a situation wherein I see only losses and problems, with no easy solution to ensure everything goes well for both people in the future and the past simultaneously. But somehow, I have faith that Silver can make it work!

Omg you also love both Heven Sent AND Hell Bent?! The latter seems a bit polarizing across the fandom, so it's so fun to find out that I follow someone I didn't even realize liked it as well! That shit made me cry and now I need to rewatch.

yes!!! Heaven Sent is peak acting from Capaldi and such a good use of form for character development. Hell Bent is...the total abuse of power in order to save one person, the only one who matters, because who are you without them, because the choices you made to save them cannot possibly be justified unless they are saved in the end, because one more loss in a lifetime of losses might be the end of you. you're a god and a monster and a terror to the universe but you are also lonely. you would like to never be lonely again.

Robert's profile on toyhouse is finished... I think! I'll tweak some small details and some artworks but it's up and running. And if I come up with something new I will add it to his profile.

If anyone wants to know who this idiot is you can find the info I've been sitting on there.

wonder woman is the most exciting superhero because she's not trapped in the stasis other big names are & she actually is legitimately reinvented with every new creative team, i have trouble bingereading other a listers because all their stories start to blend together after a while but that never happens with her

I feel seen by this post cause this is the exact same way I feel about this show!!!! Like idc it's a Comedy and I'm not afraid to admit that . Also the last part is such a mood like GIVE THE GIRLS THEIR FLOWERS

being a “the bear is a comedy” defender during awards season is TRYING WORK. joshua jackson was SO RIGHT in explaining it:

“[the bear] is played straight by the actors but the scenarios are absurd or heightened and geared towards calling out the absurdity of the situation, which to me is a comedy, as opposed to playing into the pathos of the situation, which is then drama.”

bowen yang was also SO RIGHT for saying that these genres simply don’t exist anymore!!! this isn’t the days of 30 rock or the big bang theory with laugh tracks and 3645916 punchlines per minute !!! art has that boundaries are MEANT to be pushed effectively!! which is what chris and co. are doing!!! dramedy is TWO categories, so you guys need to stop complaining when the dramedy falls into the comedy category.

also don’t even get me started on ayo or quinta not winning. lord, you are TESTING ME!
