#grief is weird guys

Me: I will just take a little nap! Maybe 20 minutes?

My inability to sleep the last three nights: Nah, bitch, you’re going out for a WHOLE HOUR.

'You've become a beast' 'I know'

'Do you regret it?' 'No.'

all of the bad stuff about the acolyte is starting to pile up idk the hot ppl and the action scenes and the interesting ideas aren't enough for me

Oh, okay. I've slept 2½ hours and woke up with my jaw clenched so hard it hurts all the way into my neck and I can't get comfortable again because I'm too hot and my heart rate is way up.

Is this what I get for dreaming that I was abusing item placement to make a launcher to go out of bounds from my own dream? Also why did my dream have a framerate, and why were boundary collision detection checks explicitly tied to said framerate? Come on, me, even asleep you should know that's a shoddy way to do it and just results in exactly what you were trying to do.

I think being around older trans people has been rlly good for me on the whole but also trans people who whine about hitting 30 like it's the most soul crushing thing to happen to you, and who in general hold up youth to be this amazing thing, have actually genuinely negatively impacted my perception of myself. Never had insecurities about aging, was always looking forwards to living in my transitioned body with more life experience and wisdom and hopefully more financial freedom than I have now plus the gender euphoria of aging as a man, and I still overall feel that way but I'm also very aware that in a lot of people's eyes my value is steadily decreasing the older I get. And that's just sad and also weird!

AU where Thanos' torture involved killing Loki over and over but also combine this with Thor having vaguely prophetic abilities so that you conclude with the lovely, esteemed combination of Thor getting abstract visions of his brother dying in different ways. While he is trying to get over his death

I keep seeing people saying "I hope they don't make Jeremiah the bad guy" and other things like that. They're not making him "the bad guy", it's a not really a good guy-bad guy situation. I don't think this story has a bad guy. What the 3rd book (and probably the 3rd season) do is show you Jeremiah's flaws and the fact that he isn't a perfect person (because no one is!).

I know we've all agreed Belly has a very biased and idealized view of both boys. Once Belly starts dating Conrad and things start to spiral, the bubble is popped for her and she stops seeing the idealized version of him, but I would also argue she starts to idealize him in the opposite way, forcing herself to try to see him as a "bad" person. I also feel like in the 2nd book/season she starts to compare the brothers in her mind and starts thinking maybe Jere was always the better choice (he would have been a better prom date etc). And the first 2 books/seasons spend a lot of time telling you Jere is a golden retriever, a golden boy, an unrealistically "perfect" guy who is always fun to be around and would never hurt Belly or do any of the things Conrad did. But the thing is, no one is that perfect. And especially not kids who have been through the things the kids in this story have been through (ie Susannah), of course they're all going to make human mistakes. Also we're getting all of this from Belly's point of view, and we need to remember that she has always seen them in the radiant sunshine light of all these magical summers.

The 3rd book is when Belly's Jeremiah bubble is popped and she starts to see all the annoying things he does and his flaws (it's actually kinda funny cause the first chapter is like "oh everything is wonderful with Jere he has been so many of my firsts and I've never had anyone like this" and then in the next chapter she's like "Jere is the most annoying mfer I have ever met and here's all the annoying ass thing he does"). And then the whole cheating thing happens...but they were on break so technically he didn't "cheat" but he should have known better, and then he made it worse by proposing to her.

Anyway all of that is to say they are not making anyone the bad guy, they are not making Jeremiah the bad guy. They are showing he makes human mistakes, is flawed and is also very capable of hurting Belly. Yes, he's a fun golden retriever but golden retrievers also sometimes bite and jump up on you and get into your trash, but it doesn't make him a bad dog. It's not sunshine and flowers 24/7. That's just not how life works.

Also just to be clear- yes, the characters in this story make mistakes and hurt each other and are at times a little bit toxic to each other, but no one does anything irredeemable or unforgivable.

Beloved mutual experiencing the pain of CS Forester writing things about Spain and I am relieving every single moment of reading Ship of the Line in vivid detail

[woodsdyke]

it's funny how the setting of the horror i like to write changes each time i move. What If there was a Weird Guy in the Mountains? has slowly shifted to What if there was a Weird Guy in the Ocean? after i moved to seattle

Reading ur tags about aizawa being kind of a jerk makes me think like, I hope it's some kinda twist that he's just repressing his feelings and lashing out with anger/resentment/being a jerk because he didn't use any outlets for dealing with his friends deaths

Cuz it's true his vibe changed, I just hope it's for a reason

And doing something like that^^ wouldn't justify it, but it would make it feel realistic imo

Mans is emotionally constipated and has gone through a lot of trauma, so though it doesn't surprise me exactly that he's being a jerk, I hope there's a breaking point or something

Yeah, I mean, that maybe is it, since it happened around the shirakurogiri arc, but I honestly don't know if Horikoshi thinks that deeply about his characters.

I will be happy if it's eventually addressed and he can be a good character again, but I kinda doubt it will? It's not him as a character I have a problem with it's the writing it just feels . bad.

I also don't know if Midnight's death will actually ever be addressed in any meaningful capacity. There was no reason for her to die except for a moment of shock value.

My solution for all of this is make the Loudspeaker AU canon.
