It's a special day.
Of course Peter remembers.
Because it wasn't just any arrest.
Who would've guessed where they'd end up?

Same, same.
White collar really boosts my mood for a plethora of reasons, but one of the biggest is that despite a lot of obstacles and so many differences, Peter and Neal still care for and respect each other so much.
I mean, they fight, they sneak around each other, they have a bit of toxic trust issues, but against all those odds, they love each other.
And that just gives me a lot of hope 🥹

I don’t think ppl give enough credit to rui for his dedication to fucking with people (outside of tsukasa of course) like. Knowing & acknowledging that nene wants nothing to do with him and Tsukasa on her first day of second year and deliberately following tsukasa to loudly ask if she’s getting along with people (just to be a jackass)? Implying his gift to akito will explode even though it won’t bc he wants to bug akito? Like I think rui at his core is full of love and a desire to make ppl smile but I also think he’s 200% committed to the bit first and foremost. If something will be funny he’s going to do it regardless of the consequences. Guy filled with zero social anxiety & a never ending desire to embarrass his friends.
#‘he’s insecure’ is very fanon. like I think he has hang ups over that obviously as one does when one is excluded from their peers for being#odd. but he’s never had that issue w the general public. w friends? a little. but he’s kinda moved past that#gestures towards the Halloween wxs story and (heavy sigh) rmd.#project sekai#in general I will die on the hill of rui and Tsukasa having so much more self assurance and confidence than ppl give them credit for#if u want a fail girl nene is right there. open ur eyes.#consequences of ppl only viewing him thru a shipping lense…#*nene* is socially anxious#rui canonically trespassed on ppls property to put on solo shows for several years.#i could go on a rant abt tsukasa & the portrayal of him w social anxiety despite the ample evidence against it but I don’t feel like doing#it in the tags bc it is entirely unrelated. rui and Tsukasa (handshake emoji) horrifically misrepresented by fanon.#2 end on a more positive note: everyone think abt the comic where rui is perfectly capable of understanding emu#and he has the ‘all perfect’ text after comprehending her fascinating vocabulary. beautiful. perfect wxs relationship moment.#read curtain call again. & the other rui focuses. main story in general. etc.

sos month day 16: like fire / like water wanted to redraw something from 2015 and remembered how badly i wanted to replay the game this is based on. tldr battle ninja island everyone is alive and cant die for some reason. platonic extremely jaded old man sewercidal sasori x zero nerve no respect for male authority figures teenage brat sakura is too good to pass up. dial that shit up to 200%. basically the worst month ever for the both of them
#my art#sos month#sasosaku month#sakura haruno#sasori#akasuna no sasori#this is my fav canon dynamic#it is criminally underrated#put canon sasori in a room with actual children that he cant kill and he has the worst day of his life#even if he believes he can shape them#wish we would see more of it outside of against all odds by koobabear <3#they are a good team AGAINST ALL ODDS#i had smth different lined up but then changed my mind hence this being last minute#are they friends we dont know#are they even getting along. we dont know#also yes my canon sasori version looks like that. im looking at him like who is this </3#sakura hoping to meet chiyo on this island so bad. t7 abandoned her on day 1 </3 tsunade and shizune too busy running the tournament#'where is deidara' he is free. he is having a good time

#this is so fucking important to me#im... so happy about how the manga tackled THIS scene#kingdom hearts#this part of kh3 always felt odd to me tbh#it felt like the writers wanted to do something and just. didnt go all the way#there were ideas and they just didnt fully write them down and put the same amount of effort into them as they did in other places#THIS feels so fucking... emotional. and for what reason?#it's just. sora cares about roxas.#it's just true. he cares about roxas and feels bad about the situation that him and roxas both were put in.#he never found it fair that he got to exist while roxas was told to unalive.#and while the sora writing in khDDD and kh3 definitely told us that#definitely told us that sora DOES NOT like this situation and he would be willing to do anything to bring roxas back#it wasn't this.#this feels like a friend you barely got to know. realising that you had it so rough.#and desperately trying to break down any barriers between you two and grab your wrist#to hold onto you tight and refuse to give up on searching for you and trying to help you out of your darkest places.#sora is so fucking insistent on proving that roxas is not just his nobody.#roxas is roxas.#donald being sorta confused makes complete sense#because he didnt see how roxas fought with every fibre of his being against sora to just try and beat him and prove his right to live#he didnt see sora bearing the weight of roxas' life and feel the betrayals and lies and deception that he barely understood as it was.#to anyone else. roxas probably is just sora's nobody.#sora may very well be the one person who knows that isn't true.

hrrr I Saw the TV Glow is still rolling around in the back of my mind. it's hitting me somewhat belatedly that what seemingly starts as mainly an identity story turns out - toward the final act - to also be a love story. two queer kids finding each other (again). the bond they forge (have always had). the feelings that start to grow (were always there) despite the lie they're living. one trying to save the other, and failing. the frail hope at the end that maybe what they had mattered after all, even if they never see each other again. maybe because they knew each other, someday things will be better.
idk. so much of the story feels so lonely. they're awkward with each other at first and they don't really "get" each other and they're absent from each other's lives for long periods and they don't have anyone else. but it's all a lie - they were best friends, they knew each other better than anyone, they are who they are because they knew each other, they were not alone. no matter how bleak the setting is, this fake world can't obscure the truth. they'll never forget each other. it will always have happened, it will always have mattered.
it's so hard to put into words but Owen/Isabel and Maddy/Tara make me so crazy, the way everything in the world works to drive them apart and yet not even losing their memories can destroy the connection between them. and it's not enough to prevent the world from tearing them apart but maybe it's enough to save their lives
queer love portrayed not as supernaturally resilient or invincible (god knows it isn't), but as a precious fragile thing that can and will grow back over and over in some form no matter what ...
#deerchatter#i saw the tv glow#i saw the tv glow spoilers#to be 100% clear i definitely believe they were specifically IN love on top of also being best friends. and the distinction is important#owen growing feelings for maddy is implicitly tied to her beginning to find herself as a trans lesbian#maddy growing feelings for owen is implicitly tied to her remembering their true lives as isabel and tara#it's so subtle because there's no space for that love in the midnight realm. and yet it grows back against all odds#there's very interesting potential for an isttg/rgu contrast-comparison analysis right down to the coffin/grave symbolism#the main duo's love being suppressed by a reality that can't bear it or contain it. the way it resurrects as self-love/renewed determinatio#if we're getting really crazy there are also parallels between maddy coming back for owen and certain interpretations of AoU#but while utena and anthy are implied to find each other in every incarnation owen and maddy's fate is a lot more open-ended#owen says she never saw maddy again but the truthfulness of the narrated parts of the story are highly questionable so ???#augh. so many thoughts.#sorry if some of this seems completely off i only watched it once late at night. gonna rewatch in the upcoming days

Existing in more than one fandom space is like having more than one group of friends but both of them being so wildly different that any overlap at all would be like getting shot in the head
#like there are things that I would consider writing for House MD or Saw but not for Lord of the Rings you know#Same goes for reading#it's like how you have two personalities for your friend groups#and you make a joke that would absolutely score in friend group A#but friend group B just stares at you weird#like in LOTR or The Hobbit fandom I am so used to gentleness and care all around#Characters that love each other against the odds#but with House it's like#yeah these two men hate each other with everything they're worth#yeah they're so codependent that they would literally die for each other#yeah they have freaknasty sex on the regular#yeah i would talk for hours about their omegaverse dynamic#then saw is kind of similar to House in a few ways but fundamentally different because the love there is borne from such tragedy#or in AUs it's love at first sight#and you have these two men who are so so so different#and want desperately to take care of each other#THOSE DYNAMICS DON'T WORK FOR HOUSE OR FOR THE HOBBIT#I would never write House and Wilson lovey-dovey and caring just like I would never write Thorin and Bilbo engaging in pet-play#Anyway. anyway.#hilson#house md#thilbo#the hobbit#Saw#sawposting#chainshipping#fandom

they were like sisters to meee
#neopets#neoart#my art#the darkest faerie#jerdana#its really odd to me that jerdana is so often characterized in fan work to have always not fully trusted tdf and warned the others#but in canon she was also tdfs friend and was very very sad when she turned against them bcz she also didnt expect it#i dont mind at all bcz its fanwork so its just for fun but i am surprised that its been that in almost anything ive seen of her

So this:

Leads to this:

Which leads to this:
Which allows vecna to do this:

Right? Right………. So then this:

Leads to this:

Which leads to:
???????????????? 👀👀👀👀👀
Will has had powers.
#will has powers#no - he had powers. he probably displayed them when he got taken in to the upside down. and vecna wanted those powers. so he took them.#this also opens up to the possibility he could get them back somehow. with el it was through memories of her mom when she was born. love.#when she relived her younger self opening the gate for the first time through the power of love#so Will could get his back through strong feelings of love. just saying.#stranger things predictions#stranger things theories#byler#byler tumblr#so the cool kids can find this 😌#I HAVE ANOTHER THING TO SAY!!! Els powers are strong from negative emotions - hatred. anger. vengeance.#but they’re even more powerful from feelings of love - familial and platonic love (mama. hopper. max. etc)#so if Will did show his powers to vecna (accidentally) when he got taken then those would have been from his most common negative emotion#fear#El is anger. hatred. will is fear. anxiety.#so will will get his powers to their fullest strength only with Love. romantic love. feeling wanted. useful.#familial/friend love was something El needed in her life and she against all odds managed to find it#she got the love she desperately needed and deserved (not romantic like the Melvin’s seem to think)#will has all that in buckets. he has friends who love him. the best mom and brother anyone could wish for. but he feels unworthy of love.#feels like all the bad things that happened to him were deserved. so him receiving and accepting what he desperately needs and deserves#will fully unlock his powers - if he has them.#thank you for coming to my Ted talk

Bloody hell, Moonlight Mystique is piling up the tragedies.
Halfway past the middle, and we have everything that happened to Bai Shuo, everything that happened to Fan Yue, all of Tian Huo's backstory and what happened to her parents, the whole story of Rong Xian and Ling Long, followed by the whole story of Chang Mei and Mu Jiu, followed by what happened between Mu Jiu and Tian Huo, and now there's the whole thing with Cang Shang and Chen Ye, who Chen Ye really is and what happened to him, and whatever is going on with Chong Zhao and Fu Ling and who Fu Ling really is.
Nobody is happy and everybody is traumatised in this realm.
#rip silly stone you were a real one#now tian huo has lost her best friend and her potential lover in addition to her parents poor girl needs a goddamn break#rapha talks#rapha watches shows#moonlight mystique#chasing the moon#bai yue fan xing#cdrama#about to start episode 26 hoping against all odds the angst will let up a little but knowing it's only about to get worse#will fan yue kill his brother? will bai shuo found out about her sister? will bai xi survive getting her memories back?#so many questions#please let there be answers i hate open endings

[ in response to this ; @ask-noonescity ]
He was just about to ask what Erebus was doing when he felt the pouch form in his paws.
He looked at it with wide eyes for some moments once the other removed his hands. Then he looked back at the Darkrai's face.
His ears were erect as he listened to Erebus explain the properties of the pouch; he soon realized that this was a gift to him.
A gift. Of all things, a gift.
It was another show of kindness, from someone else he barely knew.
[ ID: A grayscale drawing of Lief at the Dragonspiral Tower summit, shown from the waist up and directly facing the viewer. He's looking somewhat upwards with a look of pleasant surprise, with the faint blush on his cheeks drawn as semi-transparent pinkish red lines. In both paws, he's holding a small pouch with two feathers attached. End ID ]
It would be some moments more before he could speak again.
Lief: "Y-you're saying these are edible? To me they kinda look like that weird medicine... thingy."
Yet he plucked one up to try it as he said this. True to what Erebus told him, it was pleasantly chewy, and lightly spicy; his preferred flavor.
Once again, he fell silent. Even after swallowing, he struggled with what to say. He soon averted his gaze.
It would be the gentle wagging of his tail that gave away he really liked the gift.
Even as he went on to say:
Lief: "Th-they're actually... not bad."
[ background by @/lightofunova ]
#// LIKE IT OR NOT LIEF THIS MAN WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND#// against all odds you have befriended someone else :P#// had to look up real quick what the stated favorite flavor was for Naughty nature 'mons#// may not always follow that since i find it a little boring; the idea that this nature really only like this flavor i mean#// but perhaps in this case. Lief prefers only a little spice while other Naughty 'mons might like it super spicy#// didn't really have the energy to draw a new bg here xx#response#LoUsleepover#pokeask blog#pokemon ask blog#pokeask#pokemon#pokemon ask#ask blog#pokeaskblog#pokemon askblog#Lief Simbobeon#Erebus Darkrai#ask-noonescity#mod art
