"even if he's the worst version of all the calebs from then to now, you still want him?"
lvl 51 affinity call — i still think about this call a lot not just because i have nightmares often too and i definitely would have called him too LMAO 😭 but because. this line... there's something so heartfelt about this exchange that i just 😭 my heart feels like it's twisting but /pos 😭
you can just. you can see how much he always wants to do for her, how much he's always wanted to do for her, even through everything that he has been doing already. bec he's been doing a lot!! so much!! it's how he's been trying to show love bc that's how it used to be!!
yet... the reality remains that things aren't how they used to be. and then he calls the him now the "worst version".
he knows. he knows that the person he is in the present isn't the person she's always had in the back of her mind, isn't the person she's familiar with, isn't the person she's the most fond of... is the person that has hurt her. he knows that she's been sensitive about the way he's been doing things, knows that sometimes the things he does doesn't make her happy.... and i think he really just... he sees it, you know? it's not something he just notices and then does nothing about... he's aware. aware that, making her happy, taking care of her like he used to... he doesn't know how to do it properly, doesn't know if he even can anymore. things are different this time. he's still learning to come to terms with that... still trying to deal with the struggles of presenting this whole self that he's very much aware of—without hurting her this time. and i think that a lot of the times :( like in this call :( he just really wants a certain reassurance from mc that he's doing something a little better...........
:( just :( the vulnerability jumps out so much here :( i really want to give him the biggest hug :(


it's such a myth callback... :( he makes me so ill i'm so sick to my stomach 😭 (/pos)
#the thing with caleb's issue with his identity ....... it seems....#(so far)#is that caleb is hyperaware of the changes and is aware of how it affects mc's attitude towards him.... and he recognizes that he's#not exactly doing a very good job despite his intentions being good. but he. accepts who he is. he accepts who he Is and who he Was; he jus#doesn't know how to use that acceptance of himself to make her happy like he used to...#what he can't accept is that the relationship he once had with her is dancing on a thin thread and that... he had a lot to do with that...#so he's struggling to learn how to make her happy again in a way that's true to himself :(#(not to compare w xavier in the tags but its starkly diff from xavi's identity crisis of him not accepting his identity)#(<- i think the difference is very interesting to me and plays a big roke in)#(<- the difference of why and how they act possessively of mc)#food for thought 😭 hfjsngbsh#love and deepspace caleb#love & deepspace caleb#lnds caleb#lads caleb#l&ds caleb#love and deepspace#lads#lnds#lnds garden 🌹#(this user thinks about caleb daily)#lndthonks 🌹

God the soriel scene. Why can people acknowledge that it was BOTH an irresponsible decision and kris and susie have a right to be upset about it, AND that toriel has the right to move on with sans AND that that she is like a.. hundred times better parent than asgore despite her failings.
Toriel can have failings as a parent without being completely shitty.
(Asgore on the other hand... fucking yikes. I'd respect him a million times more if he was going after rudy, a married man, rather than repeatedly going after his ex like GET AWAY FROM HERRRRR, the only benefit of sans and toriel getting drunk at her house rather than at sans's is that it means that asgore might visit and sans might open the door for him. Hopefully, that will be enough to get it through asgore's skull. I used to sympathise with financial situation, but now i wonder if it's actually brought on by his obsession to get back to "normal," leading him to neglect moving on and taking care of himself)
Sorry for the asgore paragraph. Anyway, I need to see an awkward breakfast scene between her, sans and kris as she tries to smoothe things over and try to properly introduce sans while kris is trying to get out of the door as fast as possible.
Also, we gotta admit the soriel scene is cute. Someone compared it to the lalondes' drinking scenes in the homestuck and think that's important. It's cute and joyful, which makes it hurt a little more (im not wording this right, but hopefully it makes sense? Like, i wanna be happy for her but also ouch. Its the right mix of clashing emotions)
Anyway sans. I support toriel liking him but it has made him too confident. He needs to be bullied by teenagers.
And on a final note, toriel being much taller than sans is wonderful and needed. I keep seeing art that makes lanino much taller than elnina and it gives me the ick. I'm so glad Toriel is so much taller than sans, we need that.
DUDE EXACTLY like yea i 100% agree that not watching how much you drink and getting super drunk when you got kids coming back later that night absolutely wasn't a responsible thing to do (i don't exactly blame her for not calling kris considering this is what. the third time they've gone out to hang with friends via suddenly disappearing and being out of reach. but it still should've been a safe bet that they're coming back at the end of the day) and whether or not that's a consistent pattern of behavior SHOULD be discussed. or even how kris's disappointment might be rooted in how just how fast their whole life is shifting around (especially with a guy that just moved into town) considering the theming of chapters 3 and 4. but some people's criticism of her in that scene is absolutely rooted in the idea that asgore is still entitled to her just because he wants her back and really any mention of "asgore is better/she should've stayed with him" is what gets me the most. she literally could not make it more clear that she's not interested! kris is allowed to be upset and uncomfortable with how quickly and messily their family's dynamics are changing just as much as toriel is allowed to want to move on! let that 6'8 woman hang out with her short ass boyfriend
#i do sortttt of agree about asgore's living situation because speaking from experience it's very much Divorced Dad Living Space#but we've also gotten tidbits on how he doesn't sell any of the plants he grows he just gives them away and im sure the supplies to care-#-for them all is shriveling his wallet like a raisin. it seems like a mix of him struggling to get his life in order post divorce and his-#-over-altruism getting in the way of making a stable income off of his day job#ill also admit that i haven't read homestuck so i cant fully back the comparison but you're definitely right that this-#-was supposed to be a scene that gives you mixed feelings. sans and toriel are happy and giggling and dancing and making jokes while-#-susie and kris are uncomfortable enough to where it wasn't worth for susie to stay over. it's a mixed bag but like i said before people in#-fandom have problems with seeing situations in black and white and not looking at it from the gray perspective it needs to properly-#unpack it#apradonite.txt#deltarune#deltarune spoilers#deltarune chapter 4

Hey I'm fucking tired of people complaining that WL is too different to the other series's. So what. What happened to leaving nice comments on the videos because other people were already being rude to people in the group. I'm sorry that it ain't giving you the narrative drama you seem to think they owe you. It's Minecraft and they're having fun. Fuck off
#I just woke up#and the first post about WL was more complaining#if you don't like it you don't have to watch??#wild life smp#life series#Grian#<- because it's his project and I think he did a good job fuck you#might delete this in a little while bc I looked through the life series and life smp tags and there doesn't seem to be much complaining#someone has just been putting the existing complaints onto my dash

my fields of mistria farmer, nazaret (yes i already have a character with that name, sshhhhhhhh)
eiland's 2 heart event may or may not have helped me solidify nazaret's background 👀
#ts4#the sims 4#fields of mistria#fom farmer#i tend to reuse names i really like. it can be confusing i'm sorry :(#but yeah farmer's behavior kinda gave me an idea/theory for the game lmao#basically nazaret is a dragonsworn (which is why he knew how to open up the stele so quickly and why he seemed kinda nervous when#eiland brought up the dragonsworn)#but like caldarus he's got a bit of amnesia. he was awoken either during the earthquake or a little while before it#and him being dragonsworn is kinda what drew him to taking the job in mistria despite the town's low ranking#"but he clearly looks dragon-y' you might be saying#well the answer is magic. there's magic that hides his dragon-y features and makes him look like a normal human to everyone#it's magic that nazaret doesn't even realize he's casting (it's sort of a defense mechanism?)#and it's fairly low level that it doesn't drain him very much#which leads to juniper being suspicious of him and why she thinks he's a witch during her two heart event

I've finally got the time and energy to carry on with the rewrite and I am... stuck.
I've reached the part where I need to make the kiss obvious now, Zuri can't skirt around it anymore. Not in her own head, at least💀
The problem is, the body language that Zuri and Bobby exhibit is important to the dialogue they exchange and the kiss (especially since I'm writing around the "unwanted kiss" version in the books, I'll go into detail about that a bit in the tags) but a full on flashback isn't going to work with the way I've already written this.
So... do I just keep the dialogue and leave the details out and up to imagination? Or do I keep them by having the memory be in italics and split up between her current thoughts + anything else happening around her?
#the way the unwanted kiss is in the books is a little...hm#just the words “unwanted kiss” puts it in a weird territory#and makes the detective kissing back seem...hm#but I've found a way to work with it and have it make sense for zuri#by now it's obvious that they have a lot of history#and they did have some good times before everything went to shit#bobby is gonna use that of course - and he's going to use a detail she shared in a tmi type of conversation they had#while they were...partaking in something that lowered their inhibitions lol#with the motive of hitting zuri in the “you're special” soft/weak spot he knows she has#it usually wouldn't work coming from him because she knows his game#but this is after days of adam telling her that he's around her mostly because its his job#and right after overhearing him telling nate - someone he is obviously very close to#someone that she assumes he has no reason to lie to or hide things from - that he doesn't have any type of feelings for her#and it bothers her more than she'd ever admit at this point - it stings and she doesn't like that it does#she to a certain extent knows that it's a lie#but it planted seeds of doubt around the interactions they've had where she did seem to matter to him beyond being someone he has to protec#so... kissing bobby is going to be more of a temporary lapse in judgement than something she initiates or encourages or anything#but she does kiss him back for a bit - thanks to her classic 'find comfort in someone' coping mechanism#but it's not all that comfortable because it's coming from bobby and in the back of her mind she knows he isn't being entirely genuine#but it soothes the sting a little - until the alarm bells move to the front of her mind and she stops#so how do I convey ALL THAT without it pulling people out of the story? I'm leaning towards the latter#but any input would be super helpful🥺#chichi.txt

I genuinely think the only people even slightly surprised by Caterina naming Lucanis as her heir were Illario and Lucanis. Lucanis from what we see and hear is more skilled (or at least puts in more visible effort, and at the level these two are aiming for not being seen to make an effort isn't all that much better than being seen as incompetent; the First Talon has actual work to do, it's not a figurehead position that can just be filled by a pretty face and a silver tongue), better respected (and no, there's no actual evidence that that's because of anyone sabotaging Illario's reputation or the Crows looking down on people using seduction; I think the Crows just generally value action over words), and just in every way except maybe charm seems to be the better choice out of the two of them. There's a reason why Wigmaker Job, which sets up this conflict, also shows Lucanis doing the planning and prep work (including finding secret ways through the city and making allies with useful skills and knowledge—hey, what was that about Illario being "the charming one"...? This combined with Lucanis seeming to be better liked and respected among the Crows really does feel to me like Illario's better at superficial charm used on strangers or acquaintances while Lucanis is better at winning a level of loyalty and trust from proper allies, the latter of which is more useful for a leader—to help him get close to the target) and thinking of the future (see things like him paying off the innkeeper who likely leaked their location so she and anyone she tells about this will be more likely to back the Crows over the Venatori in the future, a point that Illario didn't think of) and handling the vast majority of the killing and dealing with the abominations after while Illario mostly complains and follows Lucanis's orders! I genuinely don't see how anyone comes away from that story (which is the only direct comparison of the two of them at work that we get and so all we really have to go on regarding their individual skills as Crows) thinking Illario's the better choice! Gang please, don't read a book from a series known for Books That Lie To You (well in-universe book excerpts mostly, the codex lying to you my beloved, but you know what I mean) and come away just assuming that the things the characters say out loud are the truth over what their actions show. Lucanis having a heart emphatically is not a dealbreaker for him being the better choice for Talon (see: Teia, and also the dialogue between her and Viago after the servants are killed in Eight Little Talons which makes it clear that a given Crow's opinions on collateral damage and level of effort to avoid it are generally considered a matter of personal taste rather than something to really be judged) and... yeah, keeping that in mind there really isn't anything suggesting Illario would be the better choice.
Lucanis isn't perfect and Caterina absolutely should be training him specifically as First Talon (it's also entirely possible there are better options elsewhere in House Dellamorte that she isn't considering because of the nepotism angle), but he is better than Illario. In fact I firmly believe that Illario only had any reason to believe he was even being considered for First Talon because... he's Caterina's grandson and she's favouring her own family over unrelated Crows. But that's what makes me want to dissect him in a lab, because he's aware that favouritism is playing a part in the selection process—note that I'm not saying Caterina doesn't prefer Lucanis, just that he is objectively the better choice outside of that; sometimes the favourite legitimately is the better option—but doesn't seem to have any awareness that he is... also benefiting from that. And quite possibly benefiting more than Lucanis is! There's just something so tasty in Illario complaining about the thing that is also as far as we see the only thing putting him in the running, and that's assuming he was in the running and isn't just... assuming Caterina would favour him as her grandson.
#dragon age veilguard#i think people (including illario!) get so caught up in underdog stories that they sometimes forget:#sometimes the underdog is the underdog because they simply are not as good#COULD illario be just as good as lucanis? quite possibly. IS he? no#is he TRYING to be? honestly to me it doesn't look like it#he's either legitimately not as good as lucanis or he's not trying and either way he's not getting the job over lucanis#even if he just needs encouragement to be just as good as lucanis caterina's not going to name a weak leader heir#just because he MIGHT prove to be good at it at some point in the future with significantly more work than lucanis needs at this point#it's not actually just a sign of her favour y'know! it's a job! where they'll have to do work!#if she has no reason to think illario is the better choice NOW she's not going to name him her heir!#(also seriously the whole thing is such a dramatic reaction to lucanis being named HEIR. dude you know she can change her mind right)#(you do in fact still have a chance to prove you're the better choice WITHOUT making lucanis refuse it out of hand or killing him)#i find the discussion of their dynamic much more interesting when illario isn't treated as a poor victim of caterina's favouritism too#like have we considered that based on what we actually see (not just what illario says) lucanis does in fact seem to be better#the question of how much of it is caterina's favouritism making lucanis better vs lucanis being favoured because he's better is to me#so much more engaging than either 'poor illario would be the best ever if only caterina didn't unfairly favour lucanis'#or the flip side of 'clearly illario is just the absolute worst at everything' (which tbh is an insult to BOTH cousins because#illario DOES have areas that he's legitimately better in and lucanis doesn't need him to be incompetent to be the better choice)#maybe i'm just annoyed about people insisting illario would be the better choice based... pretty much solely on him SAYING he would be#gang do we maybe think the guy working with the venatori is lying to himself to avoid admitting how badly he's fucked up#do we think maybe illario doesn't want to acknowledge that he's made a huge mistake and so has to insist he's the right choice#lucanis also says illario would be the better choice but he's still objectively wrong and also loves his cousin like. a LOT#enough to not kill him for trying to have him MURDERED BY VENATORI#enough to refuse to acknowledge that illario had by far the best opportunity and motive to betray him until it's undeniable that it was him#i think maybe he's not the most unbiased source either?#i'm done rambling now. tl;dr lucanis is by all evidence the better choice for talon and the only people saying otherwise are very biased

i talk about my narumi as aggretsuko agenda or as troy barnes agenda, but i haven't mentioned....... my hirotaka as kim kitsuragi agenda.
#text#probably because the wotakoi fandom and disco elysium fandom. do not have a lot of overlap#BUT I SEE IT AND I HAVE TO SPEAK MY TRUTH#wotakoi#wotakoi posting#narumi is not harry dubois ofc and thank god for that#but just. that scene where harry (the player) says something absolutely ridiculous#and kim barely holds back his laugh and is like 'what? what did you say??'#very hirotaka coded idk#also once again he seems cool he's good at his job and has a very straight face#(well... not straight)#but he's a dork and nerd who loves to win#except hirotaka doesn't hide who he is at all#hirotaka nifuji#kim kitsuragi#disco elysium#wotakoi love is hard for otaku

I would have more sympathy for people complaining about "Damian being treated as Bruce's only real child because they are related by blood" if Damian didn't literally spent probably over 75% of his existence doing something far away from his father while Bruce doesn't even comment on the fact that he hasn't seen his son in months and has no idea what he's doing.
#And don't even get me started on Bruce not ever really feeling sad about not being able to spend more time with his son in canon#Because prioritizing his job as batman is bruce's choice#And he actually doesn't seem all that sad about missing the first ten years of Damian's life#He's mostly pissed that Damian was trained to kill and that's it#He had no problem being mostly absent in the four years he knew about Damian's existence#Seriously there is not a lot of textual evidence that Bruce is sad about not having witnessed damian's first years#Out of a desire to have spent more time with him#I checked for that myself and even asked other people who actually read comics#Bruce feeling sad about this is fanon so people trying to paint Talia in a bad light for “keeping his son from him” piss me off even more#If Bruce had learned about Damian and would have been made to raise him earlier he would have left Damian in Alfred's care#Like let's be real

Thinking about the fact that they had Maron be the saytr that brought Will to camp-
THEN WENT AND GAVE HIM A NYMPH GIRLFRIEND NAMED NAOMI?? I KNOW IT'S LIKE A ACTIVE GREEK NAME AND ALL BUT??? 😭
Idk if he keeps any contact with Will though. Cause I never thought he actually did any Protector stuff in awhile?? Maybe he was just in the area but idk hdfd
But, he just doesn't seem to be as close to any demigods as Grover and Couch Hedge. The cloven counsel in general always felt separate from over satyrs in duties.
But if he did keep in touch with Will, I'm just imagine how awkward it is to have your old protector have a gf with the same name as your mom fsgsg.
Like-common name probably and all, but it's still funny to imagine.
Poor Will XD
#maron pjo#pjo maron#maron satyr#will solace#william andrew solace#pjo will#percy jackon and the olympians#percy jackson and the olympians#pjo hoo toa#pjo fandom#pjo#pain rambles#it's way too funny to me for some reason#idk why#also why did maron suddenly pop up in two books in a row???#like yeah he's more mentioned/ dream in tsats#but??? where that come from???#cause let's be honest most of us forgot they existed for the most part after tlo#i would like to see how Maron was as a protector personality wise#like. Will doesn't seem to have any overly neg or positive feelings when thinking about him#so maybe he just was neutral and get job over with type? idk#mosy saytrs seemed to have a close connection to the old demigods they brought to camp#Clarisse is literally couch hedges' choice for his son's god mother iirc#and he and Mellie work closely with Piper's dad#so idk#thinking about it

and shout-out to weepe's guards! competent enough to move quicker than kozma's people, strong enough to overpower them despite being outnumbered, and seemingly didn't even blink at not just killing other people but at doing it with horrific weaponized tearror-blood. weepe found these guys in the fucking TRUST?
#midst podcast#midst#midst spoilers#midst podcast spoilers#i'm of two minds about it bc on the one hand kestrel astutely pointed out that there was no mention of valor or abacuses where you'd expect#and using the fold to tear apart a bunch of guards who are trying to stop their boss getting Murdered doesn't Seem very valorous by trust s#and weepe having a bunch of guys in his pocket who WEREN'T originally trust even if they've been pulled in seems like something he'd like#but on the other hand. where would he have GOTTEN a bunch of non-trust guys????#AND they're referred to as a special king triangle 'Company guard' in 3.7#plus i really like the idea that like...the trust really does have some VERY fucking competent soldiers#we've seen phineas do some genuinely impressive athletic stunts and we know costigan can uh. hold her own in a fight#and anyway it isn't the prime consector's unit's job to be the best it's their job to LOOK the best#of COURSE you'd want your really skilled guys protecting your upper trustees and your king triangle#hell it's just another angle of the non-trust society underestimating the trust (but that's a whole nother post)#and as far as the valor goes...well. we've certainly seen definitions shift! company guards stood outside the vault in 2.13 too!#and witnessed the devastation after!

Colleague called me a Luddite today because I wrote the abstract for a book chapter submission by hand without using ChatGPT
#I just sort of let him talk about AI for awhile and why he thinks it's the future of academia#He ended up saying it's because he wants to keep working at uni but he has no publications#And get this: doesn't like writing. So.#I guess of course AI seems like the holy grail for people who don't know how to write#Like it just really struck me that the root of his AI obsession is insecurity#He even made a joke that I'm skipping journals and going straight to book chapters#I guess since it's my first year?#And he's been there 3 years and has no publications. Same with the other guy in our conversation#But it's like. Idk. I like trying new things. I never said it was a GOOD abstract and I don't know if it'll be accepted#But at least I'm trying. With my own words.#Personal#I *like* writing things with my own words. It makes me feel powerful#I don't want to use AI to produce 100 papers about the same batch of research (his fantasy)#I want a handful of papers which I can be proud to say I wrote myself#And most of all? I want to enjoy my work. I enjoy my research#I don't want my job to become an internet content mill#So I'll probably remain a Luddite

i'm this close to opening discussion whether (is it possible that) kaiser is a playboy or not
#poponing#seeing how he enjoys feeling superior? this seems highly possible esp in a modelling au etc#BUT this guy also hits me like someone who is married into his job and if the other person doesn't give me the feeling of sueriority#for him in his field then he won't bother (i.e. how he acts @ yoichi & @ others at the beginning aka rizzlord kaiser vs default fridge guy)#kaiser (also sae) where is your back story ln chapter im begging here#okay lets stop here before i go off to some weird tangents. now back to rl business. will prob del later#babblings#also adding another note kaiser does seems to kinda focus on something or someone then appear disinterested in others#also will he even bother making someone feel special?? im asking really at this point im going off on semi baseless assumption#that fragile self image is making me scratching my head#but you know ness—magic and then kaiser—blue yellow—glass (chain) kinda like a fairytale (cinderella) ok off topic#....okay not gonna del this. this is my personal note#ugh but anyway playboy kaiser...? he really is confusing for me to write now because his facades are so different#and that cold guy part is STILL a facade. what are u kaiser#now back to rl fr

If there's one thing I've learnt from this week's episode of Found, it's that there is something we are missing about "Sir's" character (and I need to know what it is).
#found nbc#thoughts#hugh evans#people are probably going to focus on that end scene where he was worried about gabi#but that doesn't shock me because we already knew they had a weird codependecy thing going on#no what really surprised me was how genuinely concerned he appeared to be about matthew#in previous episodes he's treated this whole thing like it's just an annoying job he has to do#but this time he seemed actively invested#(and that bit at the end about how tony was groomed and so it wasn't his fault makes me think sir may have been groomed too)#all queued up
