I couldn't get this little missing scene out of my head!!! I mean how do we go from Niko asking him if he knows it's okay to be gay to just straight up asking if he wants to kiss boys in the next episode?! I think perhaps they did have some discussions between the episodes, and while Edwin was still figuring himself out, Niko was able to suss him out for certain.
"Niko, I am afraid you might have misunderstood me earlier at the library today... Of course, I know that two boys can - what did you say?- Ah, "like like each other." I may have died in 1916, but my politics certainly did not stagnate there. I simply meant... while, yes, Monty and I are both boys, that is just... not where my... proclivities lie."
Niko stares at him with what can only be described as gentle confusion and asks "Okay... so you're saying you don't want to date boys?" Edwin tries not to panic because he can hear the doubt in her question.
"Precisely. Frankly, I do not think courting as a whole is in the books for me. I never truly understood the appeal, " he explains. Niko looks at him with poorly hidden sadness at this comment.
"Well, that's toootally okay. You don't have to date anybody if you don't want to! But... I really think you should still read some of my manga. They can be very informative."
#edwin payne#niko sasaki#dead boy detectives#aaah this is my first time posting anything remotely fic-adjacent but i must be brave!!!#and this definitely isn't based on how i forced myself to like guys and not really get the appeal of dating them but still did#edwin and i 🤝 bc we were both repressed at 16#also i reallyyy hope i was able to get their voices right...#agency discussion#OH !!! and i know he says he doesn't see the appeal of kissing in ep 4 but courting and kissing are VERY different things

imagining a defiant interrogation whumpee who gets sick of saying "I'm not telling you" so they start going into what sounds initially to be them finally telling whumper what they want to know, but ends up being whumpee wasting time by just quoting a song.
#pyreprompts#whump prompt#I have a scene or two for Kevin specifically#'Why have I taken up arms against you you ask? Well#I was walking down by island bridge#Just rambling about- going as I please#That day was warm and there was such a gentle breeze#It was the month of April I believe#I strolled up by the monument then laid down in the grass#Then I heard a soldiers voice behind me. It said#Meet me at the pillar son meet me there at noon. I need you brave young Irishmen there's something we must do...#He said his name was Padraig Pearce and he just kept on calling me'#Meet me at the pillar is such a good song even if extremely call to action#But that's just been my vibe so youknow#Doesn't even have to be an interrogation really#'So what's with the red hair and green eyes combo? Isn't that a little on the nose for a fenian?'#'Well first off- it has been incredibly difficult to hide while trying to cross boarders you're right#Secondly that's just kinda what happens when you have a county cork mother and an ulsterman father.#It's just a horrid color problem I've been left with- this orange and green.'#I imagine Kevin specifically would take it as a challenge to 1. See how obscure a rebel song he can pull up and#2. See how long it takes for the other guy to notice not a word he is saying is actually true or relevant#The exact scenes I'm imaging are in a au idk if I'll ever actually post publicly#But I might write them as him messing around with Zander#I still need to post something with Zander maybe this will be it

if i had a nickel for every time the dragon prince had a plotline of "character becomes physically disabled as a sacrifice to save someone, but then gets 'fixed' by magic in less than an episode," i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice
#it's literally two bad disability tropes combined#the ''heroic and tragic character who made a brave sacrifice and must now live a terrible disabled life oh no so sad'' trope#and the ''there's magic in our world so we can just ignore disability because it's all magically fixed now''#i just watched claudia get her magic prosthetic so idk how her amputation might affect her for the rest of the season#but when soren was cured of his paralysis it felt like a cop-out honestly#they could have at least given it some lasting symptoms#like. he had major spinal damage or something. it would make sense for him to live with some chronic pain or motor control issues from that#but nooo we can't have the silly goofy guy be disabled#(i'm mostly just ranting for the sake of ranting at this point idk#dragon prince has better disability rep than most animated shows. i just don't like this particular trope they do)#dragon prince spoilers#dragon prince s6#tdp s6#tdp spoilers

What scares me most about Byler endgame is the reality of it likely coming out long after the US presidential election 2024.
#not to be us-centric#but it really does affect the world#like if we think things are bad now#i'm afraid 2025 may find us living in even scarier times#young cis white queers i'm talking to you - don't get too comfortable in this heartstopper era#don't make the grave mistake of thinking we have come so far and that things can only get better#as trans and poc queer ppl know we still have a lonnnng way to go#and even the rights you do have must be continually fought for#they can always be taken away#yes even in the 21st century#i fear we may be headed into darker times#sorry for doomposting#byler tumblr#please do whatever you need to feel safe#but just remember that we will all need to be a bit brave#and stand together#don't let infighting distract from solidarity#byler nation#stranger things#us politics#tw politics

I didn't cry during Bravern's finale, but I just saw someone pointing out that it came out precisely 10 years and 1 day after SamFlam's last episode and now I'm this fucking close. This was 1000% on purpose, no way it wasn't
This universe is so fucking narratively saved
#the miracle happens once every 10 years#Now we all absolutely must survive until the 29th of march 2034#no matter what#samurai flamenco#bang brave bang bravern#flamencult#brave bang

Inside me are two wolves. One wants to read The Lies of Locke Lamora again, the other one doesn't want to put the characters (or myself) through the pain again.
#The Lies of Locke Lamora#Is one of my favourite books Of All Time#but the emotions oh the emotions#Yes the wolves inside me are literate#it's part of the enrichment programme#This post is me putting off reading it#But I must be brave#I know it's worth the pain to experience the story#only with the pain can we get the catharsis#and only through conflict can we experience satisfying plot#Like Legends and Lattes is a bop but it's not exactly got a lot of cronch to it#y'know

I don't even feel like a real person at the moment so having achievable tasks that are ultimately useful (crocheting to donate) have been a lot more helpful than I realised, like at the very least it's keeping my mind and hands active and at the end of it someone can benefit

Hi!! I’ve never had a pet snake so this might be a dumb question but is it harder for snakes to see when they’re in blue?
It's not dumb, snake eyesight is different from our own so we can't assume they see exactly how or what we do. For the longest time people believed they couldn't see red, and used red lights to light their enclosures at night- that's bad for them. Please do not light your snake like a rotisserie chicken, they can see it. Red light can be detrimental to reptiles because it can make it difficult for them to perceive depth, which can lead to mental distress. Red light bulbs can mess with your pet's ability to tell if it is day or night, since a light is always on, and that can cause stress and health and long term sight issues too.
But back to your original question, yes, snakes have difficulty seeing when they are in blue. Many will stay buried and hidden, not even eating until they've completely shed. That is the norm, and if a snake wants to be left alone, they should be. Sakura will hide most of the time, but I'll sometimes see the tip of her nose near a burrow hole, and I'll dangle something tasty in front of it and she'll eat it- but I won't dig her up if she's having alone time. Scoria will hide unless I'm around- they both know my voice and scent, and Scoria has complete trust in me so much that even when blind she knows I'll keep her safe.
She allowed me to take her out and feed her today, and then asked for pets. This behavior is unique to her, and if she were not specifically asking to be pet I would not do it after feeding (any other snake might throw up). I'd stop petting her and she'd ask again and again like, "Nope! Need more, come back and pet me." I really don't mind, she's found a way to tell me she enjoys being pet, and that's amazing- and also makes me happy. After many many pets (I guess we had a few days to make up for, I've been leaving her alone for the most part, only saw she was in blue, and then it was food day and saw her looking at me from her mossy hide) she buried herself underground in her bioactive area.
Perhaps some day Sakura will trust me to touch her while she's in blue too- but if not that's just fine. Sometimes we all need a few days to ourselves.
Oh, and don't feel bad asking snake blogs questions. It makes us happy when we get nonbot or spam asks! I imagine most of us love sharing about our snakes! And if sharing what I've learned helps lead a snake and their caretaker to a better life or bond then they would have had before, that's such a win for everyone!
#Snakes#shedding#in blue#hognoses#reptiles#Scoria is the most loving trusting baby#She rarely hisses and usually does it to say no#The other day I wasn't sure if she was thirsty and while holding her lowered my hand into her pool so she had an opportunity to drink#She gave a little hiss “no!”#So I took her out. Communication successful. We cuddled a bit before she asked to go back in her enclosure#Sakura wants very much to be social#she is overcoming crippling fear of people#And my goodness she has been so good and so brave#She learns by watching her sister#She saw me hold my hand protectively over Scoria (like a cave) and Scoria nuzzle it#Scoria will often curl into a cinnamon roll under my hand and nuzzle me while we both relax together#our happiest moments are with each other#Sakura saw this and tried to understand#So she asked to come out and actually went into my hand (usually she likes the door open so she can dangle and look around)#And then she went under my hand for about five seconds to try to see what we were doing#She is so shy and skittish so I'm proud she found the bravery to do it at all#She immediately got scared and asked to go back to her enclosure#I did it immediately as knowing they can go back any time helps them feel safer and will want to come out more#Rather than have a scary memory of being trapped and unable to get back home#She asked to come out later and I had her out about five minutes and when I TRIED to put her back she wrapped around my hand!#She wanted to spend more time with me!!!!#She WANTED more time with me#As someone who has been struggling to reach this frightened shy girl#There are no words for what I felt in that moment#I must never break her trust she's worked so hard to get

If 1984 is a metaphor, then it's about what it would take for a man to willingly renounce his autonomy and free will and submit to an authoritarian regime. And the answer is to be threatened with the thing he fears the most. Then he will betray his love and himself. And the government knows what he fears most because of a screen that's next to him every second of every day of his life. He's hopeless because he doesn't believe in the people around him, and because he doesn't believe in the working classes. No one can and no one will do anything, not even him. But he believes that there must be someone outside himself who can, and he projects this into O'Brien. It is true, if he believes he's floating up like a bubble and you believe that you see him do it, then he is floating up like a bubble. And if you're threatened with rats —with fire, with water, with needles...— then you will beg them to torture your family instead. And afterwards you will love Big Brother. But who's doing the torturing? Who's bringing in the rats? Who's listening to you in your sleep in case you say something incriminating? Who runs the antique shop around the corner? Who will stop the revolts? Who will look into your eyes and know your love is pure and then pull the trigger? If we're all going to the Ministry of Love, who is running the Ministry of Love?
#1984#I can't decide whether I like this novel or not#I think the underlying message did hit me. but the way it was written repels me#i didn't put it down until i finished it in just a few days. it's not about the prose. it's about...#winston. i guess#maybe i was just expecting something else#i did love brave new world#and the handmaid's tale#but I guess that's because those are more believable to me. i didn't go into 1984 expecting a metaphor#i think that's the problem#and also winston#anyway would we all love the dictatorship in order to save ourselves?#historically? no#things not only can but do and must change#don't listen to winston he has no conviction#my.txt#classic literature#george orwell

december I am going to be gentle with how I speak to myself.. december I will have warm cosy drinks and wear the scarf my grandma gave me.. in december the world turns tones of blues and whites and the earth hardens and hides the greenery and the paths become icy so it’d difficult to move and continue and I struggle.. to get to the bus stop… but once I am there I just have to wait, sometimes it’s late but that’s ok it still comes y’know ?? and I have my scarf and my gloves and my book to warm me while I wait.. and then I join the others who all likely struggled to their stop too,, but there we all are, reading our books, wearing our gloves and scarves.. and when I get home I will eat hot soup. december I just want to be soft. I want to be warm and I want to be gentle and kind.. to myself and others….. I want to feel at peace I suppose
#hi friends I’ve had a weird and sad day and oddly the nicest part of my day has been my bus journey to/from work#idk….. I’m having lots of feelings and I just want to curl up and not exist for a little while#but yeah. it is december and we must be brave . so wise so true#I’m going to try and be kinder to myself#and romantise my bus journey more because again.. nicest part of my day .#a

I feel like clumsy smurfs personality in every iteration is kinda bad
#like first we have the old series and from what I remember he was suppose to feel like dumb or goofy in a way which doesn’t make any sense#cause when did intelligence have anything to do with being clumsy#then there were the movies where he was just kinda anxious and nervous which isn’t bad but#again what does being brave or confident have to do with being clumsy#and in the newest movie…..HOOOOO DID THEY UP IT UP TO 100 WITH HOW SCARED AND ANXIOUS HE IS CAUSE……WOW#I again must ask WHEN DID HOW BRAVE OR OUTGOING YOU ARE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH BEING CLUMSY#like I don’t think him being more nervous to do new things or being a bit shy around people is bad I just#dont think they know how to characterize clumsy because it’s a very open thing#how I would fix this…..I’ll make a post about that actually cause I have a few other Smurfs I’ve got a problem with…while also praising some#cause they did get some of them right too#my stuffy stuff#text#a lot of text#the smurfs#smurfs
