this quote by eve best from an article in the standard (2017) is doing a lot for me tbh.

[vibiano]

based on a lil silly roleplay but Capo and Vib making brownies after Capo burnt the last batch

He fucked up so bad that he had to wake up the diva from his beauty sleep to help him. To be fair the only other people available to ask where *checks my notes* the other bizzyboys and hector so honestly. Fair.

Something about how quickly and firmly Keeley told Jamie this wasn't his fault when he first started apologizing, and how Jamie persisted and in being like no, it is my fault, I need to tell you this, I need to explain. How genuine and honest he was with her (the part about how he thought Keeley and Roy only started dating to mess with him or get back at him was so loaded) and how desperately Keeley launched her arms around him.

Basically, I think both of them really, really needed that hug. And you can tell they both care about each so freaking much.

i’m not trying to bully anyone but i need everyone to REREAD THE BOOKS bc the vale cousins are BROUGHT UP BY CATELYN first of all and second of all VERY INFAMOUSLY,,,, NED’S SIBLINGS ALL GOT FUCKED IN A WAR OF COURSE THERE ARENT ANY STARK COUSINS like i say this as someone who has a whole graphic and meta planned out about how it’s so weird there isn’t a recent cadet stark house, but ned very much has first and second cousins, they are just female line, so he’s not close to them. it’s ✨the patriarchy✨that makes it so jocelyn and branda’s children are not considered ~part of the stark family~ anymore thus making it harder for Ned to rebuild the family,,, like yes some of this is George just not wanting to juggle even MORE characters but to lob this criticism at THIS SERIES SPECIFICALLY and then to defend it with “well that’s how the writer wanted it” as if there’s not in universe reasons explaining all this!!!!!

IM BEGGING EVERYONE TO REREAD THE TEXT

im so normal

[sae-something]

so sometimes in therapy we work with these emotion cards I made - it's Dutch but the top one with the white note on it says 'stomping away' and then (left to right) anger, disgust, longing, and selfhate/cursing. scribbled out the top right because it's not for tumblr.

the note is a word that I absolutely Can Not deal with. I flinch like I'm being shocked every time A utters the word (though magically the reaction is getting less and once today I even used the word myself!! panicked after but still lolsob).

anyway. I knew it was important to write it down to make this puzzle together. so I just asked her, 'can you please not use very big letters' (she had already written some other additional papers with big letters).

and bless A for writing in the tiniest letters she could manage and I couldn't even decipher what it said if I hadn't known it. it helped keep it manageable and writing my session report it just makes me cry that she was willing to go with me on this and write it so tiny.

Here’s a bit of Powerpuff history I haven’t seen anywhere online- back in the day, if you went to the PPG section of the Cartoon Network website, there was an option to send the PPG an email, and you’d get one of these pre-written responses back… as you can see, child me was VERY excited to receive them XD I remember trying to get an email from Bubbles too, but I never got one… I’m so glad I still have these! Hope you enjoy them too :)

While I'm at it, another all too tempting pitfall that writers fall into is writing the Master primarily as the Doctor's ex-friend. And again, I always get it and of course this isn't about fanfiction, but when it comes to source material...

Like, childhood friends that fell out, especially with the specific reason being abandonment issues, is sad, tragic even, but there is no irony to it. There is nothing that just can't sit comfortably with the audience, and I guess that's why it looks like a good idea.

No, establishing a character as primarily a villain, and a competent villain at that, and then have the hero care for them, for whatever reason - that's a heart at a conflict with itself. Childhood friendship is then less about nostalgia than about telling the audience the hero knows something they and their proxies don't, which arguably works better than a straight (as in, straightforward, though it looks like major writers can't wrap their heads around this kind of dynamic in a same sex relationships, idk prolonging the species looks like a redeeming excuse to be problematique????) hero/villain crush which tends to come off as thinking with your genitals vs. "natural attraction" to good. And in the other corner you can have something that's infinitely more surprising in a villain than attraction: respect. As in, going back to the root of the word, actually seeing the other as they are. Not hero worship, not faith, not rose tinted glasses, just begrudgingly admitting the hero is objectively bloody good at what they're doing.

Like, this is what I mean when I say sometimes shippy reading of characters' relationship is detrimental. And tbc: for me it is still a kind of shippy reading, just not "they're endgame" shippy, only "i want to put on camouflage and watch their mating habits in the wild but with David Attenborough voiceover".

i don't think i have wanted to cuss someone out more than my advisor what is wrong with her (<- it's not her fault but like. a very important very painful 7% of it is her fault)
