#friendships are difficult.

[eviltext]

ok here’s the thing.

some of u probably know by now that i like to over-explain and overshare a lot and take things literally sometimes and not discern when someone is fucking with me. this is due to many different (assumed) medical, cultural, circumstantial, situational etc reasons that i’mnot gonna go into at the moment. not the time for that. anyway it’s a part of my personality and stifling it feels awful and not genuine to who i am. it feels like im putting on a front and self-censoring or whateer. most of my friends, close and not, know about this trait of mine, they accept it or ignore it or work around it etc we live in a society. sometimes i get carried away and need to be reminded to stay on topic or if im being oblivious to some inside joke or what fucjing ever you get it. not a problem. (amazingly) i am on good terms with a lot of people, i consider some of them my friends. and most of these people either accept, work around or ignore this motherfucking charafter trait. okay. sure. we live in a sort of isolated community we need to make way for others’ quirks and stuff. all of said friends and acquaintances have their respective weird traits and quirks that i also personally accept, ignore or work around. give and take. right. SO. what im getting at here. there’s this person. their trait is being really rude and jokingly mean and very frank and outspoken about their thoughts. cool! we love honesty. not a problem right? well. my problem is i try to ignore their scathing remarks but like cmon if you get told to go fuck yourself enough times you must feel a little bit bad at least. and like. it wouldve been ok if we were just you know normal friends who have normal banter. whatevre. what’s a little go fuck yourself between friends. but no. to rub salt into the wound, this motherfucker had a really bad crush on me and we even tried to date for a couple of weeks, during which i poured my soul out to them to a certain degree. as you do. they know why i talk too much. they know why i overexplain. in turn i know why they swear at people so much and why they speak so brashly as a form of familiarity. we had our moments or whatever. we parted as friends and on good terms. we are in one friend group and regularly hang out together. is it too much to ask to idk not call me annoying in front of like five different people. like come on. i know. please don’t rub it in. so the thing is i will never get used to this and they will never change. i am well aware it’s too muchbto ask to alter their personality to fit mine. just like it’s too much to ask the opposite. im not going to confront them. im not going to bring this up to our mutual friends. there’s really no way out of this but to vent to you guys and cope and hunker down and take it. i know. but it just feels bad. they’re being mean. i really needed this off my chest lol if you read all this you’re really nosy (joking. i love you)

Okay, so I have read a lot of fics where Dogma joins the Coruscant Guard post-Umbara as a way to protect him, or he joins the Guard because the 501st doesn't like him, but I have a new CG Dogma AU concept.

Rex sends Dogma to the Guard specifically to look after Fox. He KNOWS Fox is overworked and the Guard is understaffed, but Fox just isn't asking for help as much as Rex would like, so he sends Dogma over because if Rex can't be there to look after Fox himself, he might as well as send the next best thing. Dogma is a little skeptical about it at first, but Rex tells him that he is legitimately the best man for the job specifically BECAUSE of his personality (he's got reason to believe Fox will have a soft spot for someone who reminds him of Rex).

He tells Fox that this is something he and Dogma discussed because the kind of work the Guard does is a better match for Dogma, but that he's also one of Rex's most impressive soldiers. Fox sees right through Rex and is not impressed at being assigned a babysitter, especially not some barely-not-a-shiny sergeant from the 501st. It's almost insulting, but the paperwork has already gone through so he can't say no or just send Dogma back.

But Rex knew what he was doing and Dogma IS a lot like Rex and he thrives in the Guard and it turns out he gets along incredibly well with Fox and, due to some special insider info from Rex, is perfectly capable of helping keep an eye on his new Commander.

i have to say seeing how popular jem is now, knowing he hasn't always been, is SO reassuring and relieving. not because other characters aren't great or have good values, but because it means jem's standout qualities – things like kindness, compassion, gentleness, being thoughtful – are being appreciated and seen as more important and that's SUCH a good thing. especially knowing ya's history of pushing forward the toxic-cocky-mysterious bad boy agenda… we're finally putting qualities like kindness above that, which is a really positive step forward. i know it's more nuanced than this, and tsc's characters are far more nuanced (jem's sole trait isn't being kind, for instance) but he wasn't always appreciated this much and as a longtime jem fan i truly love to see it. i grew up reading books where the mc always went for the mysterious bad boy character – ruder, testy, provocative – and often these characters were more popular because being kind was seen as 'boring' or meant you could only ever be in the friendzone. jem was one of the first characters i read who had this really horrible backstory, but throughout everything was genuinely just kind. it's really wonderful to see so many people appreciating that :)

hrnnnng your art style is beautiful and oh gosh I love how you draw ponies so much 😭😭 do you have more of your next gen designs? Or hypothetical children for the mane six? I'd love to see a sunburst (probably misspelled his name haha) and twilight fanchild. Like I'm just saying if I could eat art I would consume the crap out of yours

i actually have TWO twiburst kids! ☺️ i decided to do some doodles real quick because I haven't drawn them in a LONGGG time so take these as hypothetical redesigns for them haha

I'll talk some more about them below!

this is artemis, he is a massive nerd and strong magic user just like his parents. he is a renowned author who specializes in magic research and is occasionally tutored by the now retired celestia!

and this is his sister dream weaver, she specializes in interpreting and understanding dreams, something that the now retired luna lends a hoof in!

these two are my most fleshed out next gens, i have a couple other random underdeveloped next gen families but they're VERY old and need a redo, but if you're curious they're all posted on my deviantart account!

stuck thinking about when day gets crowded and overwhelmed on his birthday he calls out to gee of all people there to remove him from the situation; and how when day tells her he wants to be alone she makes sure he knows she wants to understand him and he can talk to her (not to help him or to fix things for him; simply to understand him) and when day reaffirms a boundary she accepts this and doesn't press further. he's her friend and she cares for him but he's still an adult and she has no problem treating him as such and i think that at the moment she is the only one from day's past who is actively able to do so

fun fact: he’s 6′11″ feet tall and bisexual.

really hope this fandom doesn’t boil down Ron’s character and Ron’s relationship to q!bbh as just “haha Stockholm syndrome” because

1. the first ‘case’ of Stockholm syndrome was literally made up by police to discredit a woman. it was made up. Arguably not real. a very misunderstood phenomena.

and 2. Their relationship is so much more complex than that? especially Ron’s motives and decision making, but also q!Bad’s motives as well. They are both completely fucked in the head and fully believe they care about the other (or rather, we know q!bbh is so twisted that he’s come to care about Ron - from what we know this is not a giant ploy to give Ron Stockholm syndrome. maybe it was at first but now he’s just batshit crazy). The toxic codependency they have going on is so intriguing and like whatever it’s funny to point and go “lima/stockholm syndrome” as a generalization but don’t be like “and this relationship is toxic because it’s just Stockholm syndrome” nuh uh. it’s toxic for a million other reasons as well. Get swarmed 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

being the kid who other kids were compared to sucked so much actually

its actually insane that OFMD has permanently rewired my brain to instantly burst into tears when i hear This Woman's Work now. for the rest of my life, I'll never not think about those two men in the water, both of them on the brink of death in their own ways, reaching for each other like they're each others life raft, played by two men that are certain to be life long friends, having a grand old time together, making new memories along the way and discovering more about each other that they never knew previously. its a beautiful culmination of love and devotion and i don't just mean for Stede and Ed, but between Taika and Rhys as well as the people that worked tirelessly to make it all come to life. i've been so moved by a show to the point that its forever altered me, made by complete strangers that ill probably never even meet, yet its managed to touch my heart entirely. but that's what life is all about though, connecting with others through our love, love for music, for art, for each other, this love comes in all manner of forms, but when its done just right, it feels like i've made a new friend that i'll cherish invariably, or a new piece has been placed in the puzzle of my heart, and ill always be grateful for this gift.

I don’t want to be a doctor.

But I do want to study so I can be a doctor just so I can show to people I was not useless and I made it! Even if it was not on the first try I did it! I got a degree in medicine.

Now can I be enough?

[stop-breaking-my-heart-dragonage]

my experience with maxing out the twins' friendship is just-

Hawke: So, Carver, my dear baby brother who I love and adore, I only need +10 more points to max out your friendship. I've done the grind; through gritted teeth I've kissed templar ass so that we don't raise suspicion. I've supported and defended you and let you take the lead whenever I could. You're my favorite warrior. I took you to the Deep Roads with me because you desperately wanted to go and then made you a warden and you found a place, a purpose. I've practically written my own guide on how to earn as much friendship with you because I love you and it's totally worth it so can I please please have the last +10...? Carver: Hawke: Carver please I'm begging you Carver: Carver: +5 Friendship Hawke: AAUUGGGHHLKSAJDLKAJSDLK-

Hawke: So, Bethany, my dear sis- Bethany: +50 Friendship Hawke: Bethany: :)
