i really hate reading them 99% of the time because they're so hard to do well. and because everyone else usually focuses on the things i find least interesting about it.

but it's sooooo fun to imagine what your favorite characters would do as feudal lords. it's a fascinating question: what would this character do with unlimited executive and probably military power over an area of land and its people? people who depended on them? would they be a good ruler? a bad one? would they take it seriously? do their inherent qualities make them better suited to that role than the modern era? or are they truly a product of the time and place they come from?

because I'm me, this thought exercise is a chance to daydream about "what if I held a gun to this character's head and forced them to get involved in politics?", really.

on one end of the scale you have anakin skywalker, who would....not....have done well as emperor, or frankly as any kind of feudal lord. maybe don't give him more power over life and death, or taxes, or food supplies. maybe don't.

on the other end of the scale, you have jed bartlet, who i truly believe would have been more comfortable with unilateral authority and a divine mandate. somebody make that man a king. let his staff profess their undying devotion to him on their knees, the way they so desperately, secretly wish they could in canon. i feel like it would Fix Them. Leo McGarry wants soooooo badly to swear his sword to Jed. you know it in your heart to be true.

#alternate universe #fic ideas #ish #anakin skywalker #jed bartlet #not all stories are suited to this au #but many of them are #for instance in my continued madam secretary rewatch #i was thinking about 'what if we just crowned elizabeth mccord queen of something'#except you couldn't just have her be a member of a royal family straight up #obviously she starts as the sole surviving heir of some backwater fiefdom #that either already does or is forced to practice absolute primogeniture #and she does a great job #while still being loyal to the king (conrad)#whoooo lets say has to put down a rebellion of some kind #and ends up calling nobles back to court #ones he can trust and ones he can't #to shore up power #and elizabeth turns into some kind of ned stark esque figure #only with actual political instincts and ability to relate to people who are different from her #and it goes really really well

do you ever think about how will probably wishes he was braver?

that he could tell mike the truth about himself without having to speak in code. that he could stick to his guns when he's been wronged and stand up for himself rather than tucking tail and turning the other cheek. that he could be less shy, less sensitive, less cowardly, and maybe then his loved ones wouldn't forget about him as often as they do.

maybe then they would pick him first, rather than leaving him for last. maybe then they would want to hang out with him and hear what he has to say. maybe then they would treat him like they used to, like he can still take care of himself just like they can, instead of like a fragile little thing that they pick up only when they need him. maybe then they would care about him as much as he cares about them. maybe then he wouldn't doubt that it could all come crashing down once they know who he really is, and always has been, because the rest of him would've been enough.

like, maybe he wishes he didn't freeze or run away so much. maybe he wishes he wasn't so afraid all the time, of every little thing. that he could be brave like mike, el, or his mom. i mean, el's been through so much, too. why can't he be more like her? why does he have to hide behind her? he hides behind her when the monsters come crawling back, and he hides behind her when he can't bring himself to say what he really means—even after getting on her case about it.

he spent so much time on that painting. he didn't let anyone see it—it was that special to him. why couldn't he own up to that? there's no monster in the van with him; it's just him and mike and this painting of the party, nothing inherently incriminating or romantic, and still—he can't help himself. he retreats back into the shadow, shrinks into himself, and tells lie after lie to the person that he never lies to, that he knows doesn't fucking deserve that, just because he's too scared.

of course he'd feel like a mistake sometimes. of course he'd hate who he is (if That script is to be believed), when he can't even talk to the one person that would understand without lying straight to his face, over and over again, like a fucking hypocrite. of course he'd feel so lost without the person that tells him it's okay to be this way and shows him that there is indeed strength in it. of course he'd hate who he is when he's encouraging someone to be true and speaking about their courage, all while being incapable of taking his own advice, and giving the credit for all of his love and efforts and emotions to someone else.

so many people died to bring him back, so many people died just because he didn't stay dead when maybe he should have, and for what? so that he can continue to hide rather than live his life? so that he can turn into a "worse" version of himself? so that he can live in fear? so that he can continue to ache for a past that he can never return to, while everyone else moves forward and berates him for not doing the same? time stopped in the upside down when will went missing, and he's been stuck there ever since, too. too much has happened for him to move on from. too much has changed—he's changed. he's too different now, in every way, and the older he gets the more clear it becomes.

of course he'd feel like a mistake. of course he'd hate who he is. he's the common denominator here: in his loneliness and in this war. the boy who came back to life when others didn't. the boy that got possessed and couldn't fight it. the boy that turned into a liar and a coward and must learn to live with it, even if it's at his own expense. the boy that can't let go of the past and whom the past won't let go of either, because even after everything, he's still connected to this great evil that won't let him go. they got it out of him, and yet the tether remains, because of-fucking-course it would.

just—why? why him? why can't anything ever go right with him? why is he always the outlier? i think that overwhelming amount of fear, shame, grief, guilt, exhaustion, and loneliness would wear anyone down, let alone a teenager that never asked for any of it and has experiences so unfathomably unique that the only other people that could have possibly understood are literally dead.

#will byers #byler #mine #long post #will #anyway. this is how i always interpreted the i hate WHO i am line especially in conjunction with the word ''mistake'' + being different #within the context of EVERYTHING that's happened to will and continues to happen to him and how unique it is to him in this narrative #bc rly. if you were will.... wouldn't you feel like a mistake? even outside of that outside of the supernatural i'm speaking to my #friends that have ''Something Wrong'' with them. when something happens to you and you're not the same after and you're surrounded #by people who are able to move on and be normal—don't you ever have those moments where you feel like a mistake? when you're #growing up and still interested in your same old interests but your friends start moving on and then you see that they went back to #those interests in your absence—don't you feel like you were the problem then? when people are able to be brave and you can't #find it within yourself to overcome your fear—don't you hate that feeling? don't you feel that negativity towards yourself when you #know that you SHOULD do something but you can't bring yourself to and it works against yourself? like. everything that has happened #to will E V E R Y T H I N G !!!!!!!!!!!!! can easily make anyone no matter what part of him you relate to the most understand that #u kno wht i mean? anyway. i jus wanted to bring this up bc his life is a fucking tragedy even without the gay stuff n his current pov on th #and the way that That conversation always centers on fear and bravery it's like. obviously being gay is not easy in that era but i don't #think that line is ''i hate being gay'' with no factoring in of the great many things that have happened to him which alienate him further #as well as with how he does want mike to know and his alan turing poster and his talk with jonathan etc etc #his conflict has always centered around how other people treat him and his issue with that bc that's what makes him feel bad #that just because he's different that doesn't mean that he's Different and must be treated as such #he's different and has people that make him feel BETTER for it like look at s2 for example all of those talks abt using what he perceives #as a weakness abt himself as a strength that no one else can bring to the table. and in s3 when he still believed in being a nerd #and never getting girlfriends etc but when it came from mike thts when he called himself stupid n started down this path bc now #there's that sprinkle of doubt. n tht doubt is the scariest thing in the world—understandably so #also. he literally has an evil monster in his brain like bdkfjhsbkdjhfbskj IT'S JUST A LOT.#he is different for many reasons and has even more reasons to hate Who he is the kind of person that he is #jus my take 😁👍

He feels like a stranger in his own skin.

A funny thing to say when he doesn't have real skin. Puppet parts locked together to appear human.

But maybe that's the point. He isn't human and that's why his entire being is unnatural.

Fingers trace against his back, slipping into cracked holes that were sockets for something that should have turned him into something that felt right.

It failed. He was never meant to feel safe.

He was always meant to feel like he was disconnected from his shell, like a specimen on the doctor's table to be taken apart and put back together as the doctor wished.

He was always meant to fail to be what we was created for, called useless by his mother and have his dreams stolen by others.

He was always meant to feel like he doesn't fall in line. Deciding to be a person that he was not meant to be. And no matter how hard he tries he will never quite feel like that person.

He dips his fingers into the cracks of his arm and face, knowing that no matter what he'll do, he'll always be...

Not himself.

#sunny writes #genshin impact #wanderer #scaramouche #I think a lot about Scara's gender and body dysphoria in general #it must be so weird for him sometimes #it might not have bothered him at first #but along with his absolute confusion about death #because he's a puppet #and therefore considering it a betrayal #i figured it most be so weird for him sometimes #to not have someone to relate to #about how he's just very obviously not human #probably not traditionally a man either #if you think about it #unless ei was specifically creating a male proxy for herself #Scara as a puppet should have. created as a more feminine model #or a genderless one #in which case he decided to be male presenting #and then aside from all that #how do you come to terms with #yeah my arm fell off but it's fine #it hurts like i actually lost a limb but I'll have #the creepy doctor who tortures me and experiments on me #put it back on #what do you mean you can't do the same #like how strange it must be for him as a puppet #to just kinda live and not fit into his own skin #because he wants to be a man #because he wants to be human

COACH what to do if im disabled and can't run for exercise... what the fuck do I do

ONLY DO WHAT YOU'RE CAPABLE OF, SON. IT DEPENDS ON THE REASON FOR YOUR INABILITY TO RUN. YOU MAY CHOOSE TO DO EXERCISES THAT RELY LESS ON YOUR LOWER BODY, SUCH AS SIT-UPS (WHICH CAN ALSO BE DONE STANDING BY BENDING YOUR LEGS SLIGHTLY THEN BOWING AND STRAIGHTENING AGAIN LIKE YOU WOULD REGULAR SIT-UPS IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTIES GETTING ON THE GROUND), CHIN-UPS, PULL-UPS, DIPS, SO ON. YOU ALSO MAY CONSIDER FREE WEIGHT EXERCISES WITH SOMETHING SMALL. 1KG DUMBBELLS CAN BE BOUGHT FOR AS LOW AS 5 REÁL; THEY'RE SMALL ENOUGH TO STORE AND CAN GO A LONG WAY (BICEP CURL, ZOTTMAN CURL, FLAT DUMBBELL FLY, ARNOLD PRESS, CROSS BODY HAMMER CURL, SPIDER CURL, SCAPTION EXCERCISES, I COULD GO ON -- THESE ALL WORK EXCLUSIVELY YOUR UPPER BODY MUSCLES). MEDICINE BALLS AND KETTLEBELLS TEND TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE BUT CAN ALSO BE AN OPTION TO LOOK AT. AND FINALLY, IF THOSE AREN'T OPTIONS, STRETCHING THREE TO FOUR TIMES A WEEK FOR AT LEAST 20 MINUTES CAN HELP ALLEVIATE MUSCLE TENSION AND REDUCE PAIN AND TENSION IN THE BODY AS WELL AS INCREASE FLEXIBILITY, BALANCE BLOOD CIRCULATION AND LUCIDITY. YOU MAY WANT TO DO STRETCHES FOR YOUR LEGS REGARDLESS TO ENSURE THEY DON'T GO UNDERUTILISED

COACH... OUT❗❗💥💪💪

#SKILLSPOSTING #Ooc so like I said in my last post this doesn't *quite* align with my view of PI...#Personally I headcanon Harry as a cane user post-Martinaise because of post-polio syndrome as well as. You know. Being SHOT 😂#And I feel that with the way PI acts in the game he could become a *major* voice of hurt relating to this...#'Why can't you do this when you could do it before' 'Other people don't need to use that function' and so on. (PI-ified obviously)#He also tends to be very judgmental of others (and very misogynistic) when it comes to physical stuff #But frankly I don't feel comfortable doing that here at ALL.#So currently I've simply been writing a PI that can be more understanding to other people but--#--may push Harry himself and other furies beyond their limits #I hope that's OK with everyone. ❤#Last thing: I speak from experience here on what I've figured out works for me for bad days plus doing some research--#--for this post so I don't ramble on about nothing but this isn't advice from someone who's qualified on this.#Preeeetty please do your own research to find out what works for you + talk to a physical therapist if you need to! 🥰❤

(To Atem, off of the meme)

What’cha Thinkin Bout?

Send “What’cha Thinkin Bout?” And my muse will tell you something that’s been on their mind lately… ((always accepting!))

"For a long time, inhabiting the puzzle and during my time sharing Yugi's body, I did not need to sleep. In the afterlife, of course, I didn't need it either. I was cast from the afterlife and given my own body as a punishment for saving Yugi against Aigami, and I suppose needing sleep is one of those things the gods view as a punishment."

"In all honesty, though, needing sleep isn't something I mind. Getting tired is still a weird feeling, just as much as hunger is. After a lifetime's worth of trials and nonstop danger, however, it's nice to be able to just rest."

#puzzle piece [atem]#anon;;#v: ties of friendship #((i always appreciate anons for atem/yami because i do occasionally forget he's here))#((not in a not wanting to write way his muse is just a quiet one. he's a quieter guy!))#((i feel conflicted on using icons for him for the post-canon atem comes back to life verse...))#((bc he has the same skin tone he had in egypt. however #he doesn't wear that outfit. it's mostly the crown throwing me off. he doesn't wear that in this verse. i feel this is obvious))#((so like i'd /prefer/ to use the icons with the right skin tone but i look at his icons and i'm like i can't do it !))#((so then i go back to his yami icons and i'm like well this isn't right either!! i can't win))#((i mean obviously the outfit's never gonna always correlate with what i'm writing i know that))#((but that damn crown !! he's always wearing it in monster world!!))#((idk anon you got some thoughts from me related to atem too. a bonus. if you want to call it that))

Mahi: *sigh* I'll do it for 50 bucks and 30 minutes added on to my hour lunch

Neta: fine. Just make sure she makes it safe for school, make sure she gets on the train. Don't let her skip, She will try to convince you to do it The train station is only like 45 minutes away. Here's an extra 20 bucks for the train and breakfast, buy some donuts Candi has been craving donuts for the past week.

Toguni: Yes sir

Stefan: Make me a flat white please

Toguni: Yes sir with almond milk?

Cirrina: what do you want?

Mahi: The tidal wave music festival is coming up in the summer. I need two all access passes for 1 day......... You think you can convince your dad to give you two of them for free? I know I can get them with a big discount and everything but you know it's still expensive and I have bills to pay....

Cirrina:............... fine.... I can see what I can do........

Mahi: alright.... I guess we have a deal

Cirrina: All right, how about this? I can give you two access pass for 2 days and you walk us to the train stop every Friday for a months so we can ditch school.

Mahi: ..........alright fine.

Cirrina: Good.

Stefan: okay, so this is our mint mocha iced cappuccino. Really taking that flavor of mint. I feel like this is going to be a great seller during the summer. Ironic because this was our holiday blend.

Neta: ok.....sip.... it's good it tastes like mint

Stefan: Great! Now I want you to sample caramel latte and salted caramel latte. This menu is going to be all specialty drinks some come from my holiday menus and the others were limited time releases. Caramel latte is the standard, but the salted caramel was only served during the fall via 2017.

Toguni: here you go sir.............. I'm so sorry

Neta: It's fine. It's not your fault.............sip...........sip......... Yeah..... I like both of them. They're very good. Very caramel flavor. Yep

Stefan: All right. Perfect Pacifica

Pacifica: adding that to the menu sir

Neta: I'm heading to the bathroom

Stefan: This is your 3rd trip! we haven't tried the apple crisp macchiato that was a on our fall collection for 2019 that was a big hit.

Neta: You've already given me 20 cups of coffee and several varieties of creamer that is the equivalent to 5 jugs of water and 4 laxatives for me. Let me go Okay Let me go to the bathroom Cod damn Feels like I'm being tortured

Stefan: very well I guess we have to wait another 15 minutes...... I don't understand what his problem is. We've been drinking the same amount of coffee and we're perfectly fine. Right Toguni?

Tonugi: uh huh We really are sir......(Discreetly pouring two cups of coffee down the sink)

Stefan: some people just don't appreciate this art form. .......hmmm ..... Pacifica remind me to order a commission with that one artist who painted a mural for my house. Toguni would you be able to stand still for a portrait?

Toguni: uhhhhh I-I don't know

Neta:.ok I'm all better for now why don't we take a break from coffee sampling Toguni Do you know how to use the register?

Stefan: fine. What do you think?

Toguni: I think that would be fun to do. Different look every day...... free clothes is a perk too

Stefan:..... Great! At least someone is being optimistic thank you Toguni.

Toguni: is he going to be okay?
