Last August, when my cat died, a bunch of stuff happened around that same time.
My mom came down to my apartment to support me, but she had to bring my two eldest niblings, 16yo and 13yo, too.
My niblings are biracial, and their fathers are black. I am white, but I try very hard to stay educated on racial justice.
It’s important to note that I lived in Indiana at the time, in a small city that was a liberal bastion, but with a surrounding area that produced caravans of Trump supporters who would drive onto campus en masse on weekend nights to try to harass the students.
However, my niblings grew up in the Minnesota North Woods where things were a mite different when it comes to racism. Still racist, but a different flavor than what I’m familiar with from where I’ve lived. So they had no context for Indiana’s racism.
And so it happened that my mom decided she needed to go to an urgent care for something she’d been putting up with for a while, and she wanted to go to one in a small town south of the city. Because of course that’s how my life goes.
On the way, we passed a thrift store with a confederate flag trinket proudly on display in their window. The niblings liked how some of the dolls in the window looked and asked if we could stop, and I told them no.
I had to explain the confederate flag to them, and that especially in Indiana it’s a racist symbol since Indiana is the birthplace of the KKK.
In the wait for my mom to see a doctor, I tried to entertain the girls, but we went into one of those feed stores that has baby chicks, and things got very shaky very fast.
Two men entered the store. One was wearing a confederate flag bandana.
I quietly told the kids not to look at them, to stay together and behind me and not wander.
It was necessary. The guys split up and circled us as we went through the store. I kept my posture dominant and made it clear I noticed them and knew their bullshit the whole time. We didn’t shorten our trip and leave, but I was very aware that these guys wanted to intimidate us.
I was lucky the girls listened to me.
On the way out, I bought sodas for us with my credit card, specifically to leave an electronic trail as a just in case, then loaded the girls in the car, getting in last. Didn’t pull out until they did, and immediately went to the video-surveilled urgent care parking lot.
I’m not saying these guys would have gone out of their way to do anything, but if I or the kids made it easy they’d take advantage of the opening.
I’d shelved the incident for later processing, and it came up while I was smoking a bowl tonight.
Only other time I’ve been that full of adrenaline was when I was with two kids (I was the eldest) in an ill-advised adventure in a cow pasture, and the steers took an interest in us and never again. People do get killed by cows, after all.
As I’m starting to get better, my memories are coming back a bit, slowly.
There’s so much I had to just push aside for later, and I’m still getting stuff from the age of 11-13 back, which were very bad years for my depression.

rotating this fucked up cat in my head like a rotisserie chicken
#my art#cotl#cotl narinder#i was ruminating on the robes that the followers wear in game#and i thought it was interesting that high loyalty followers have a third eye stitched onto their hoods#because like on narinder this eye would go right where his actual third eye is#so are the robes made in the image of the red crown? or of him?#well even if the eye was a reference to the appearance of the one who waits. the followers prob think its the crown's eye#something to be said about how there is no imagery of the one who waits in the cult supposedly made to worship him#like babygirl i dont think thats great planning for ensuring this cult remains devoted to you. look whats happened now#ANYWAYS the robes are a little bit of his getup from the veil and a little bit high loyalty follower robes#and also a little bit inversion of the lamb's fleece#the bell is also a ref to lamby's get up ofc#but also its to stop narinder from scaring the shit out of followers. its not working

hi. so this is kind of a random musing that doesn't have anything to do with what youve been talking abt on your blog recently so feel free to ignore it, but i love how you write yandere nanami and between going live and an ask one of my followers sent me i kinda had a revelation. i wanted to see if you had any thoughts.
i think that before meeting reader nanami would be a virgin.
even if were talking non yandere nanami, i don't think he's ever had sex. i can't see nanami being the kind of person who likes hookup culture - he doesn't want to be used by someone - but i don't think he'd be able to justify getting in a romantic relationship because his job is so dangerous. he wouldn't want to die one day and leave his partner widowed. so he stays celibate, he's come to terms with the fact that he'll die untouched.
(he just jerks himself to freaky ass porn to get his fix (maybe even a camgirl hehe))
at least, until he meets a woman who makes all of his morality fly out the window.
suddenly, his sex drive is higher then ever. he's cumming into his fist every night to the thought of this special girl doing abhorrent things on his dick. he loves her. he's never loved someone this much in his entire life so she has to be the one to deflower him. that's probably one of the most romantic things someone can do in his mind, so it has to be her. she's his soulmate
all of this to say, i think nanami would kidnap reader and force her to teach him how to have sex through some fucked up means. it just tickles something in me imagining how stupidly giddy he'd be, so unabashedly pathetic as he undresses a woman for the first time.
like, him holding her hand with his forehead pressed to hers, cumming inside of her, jumping through as many mental hurdles necessary to justify what he's doing (or maybe just not caring bc she'll come around eventually, right?)
i love your work. thank you for listening to my ramble. <3
tw - non/con, kidnapping, manipulation, delusional behavior.
no no no i agree entirely,,, no amount of propaganda can convince me that any of the jjk men every had their dicks touched before the age of twenty-five at least, with nanami probably being the worst offender among them. i mean, he doesn't really connect with people outside of the sorcerer world, not really, not in a meaningful enough way to lead to that kind of intimacy, and as for other sorcerers... no. just no. he'd rather die a virgin than resort to anything as desperate as that, which is quickly becoming a very tangible reality.
and then he meets you (or, alternative, stumbled onto your stream at some ungodly hour, his cock already in his hand and his pleasure-deprived brain frantic for something soft and pliable to latch onto), and he decides that it might not be so bad to consider alternatives after all.
i can see it going one of two ways: if he has any reason at all to believe that you're also a virgin, whether or not it's true, he'll immediately lose all patience. if that wasn't the case, he might be able to take his time, stalk you for a few months before consummating your blooming relationship, but now he's on a clock, now he has to get to you before someone else does. he still tries to make it romantic, lights candles and brings you flowers and all that, but he's rushed, panicked, babbling incoherently about 'being each other's firsts' as he haphazardly undresses you. it's a miracle he remembers to do any prep at all - he's just in such a rush to be inside of you, to be the first and only person to every know what it's like to fully, genuinely actually be with you. if there's any pain, he'll comfort you later, make up for two and a half decades of abstinence with his tongue and hands, but only after he's already ruined you for anyone else.
if you're not a virgin and he can't make himself believe you are, then he'd probably go a little less absolutely feral (at first, i mean). don't get me wrong, you're still getting kidnapped asap, but rather than a beacon of innocence and purity that he can taint, you're the corruption forcing him to fall from grace, and he's going to want you to act like it. he's got a list of virginities he needs to to take (his first handjob, his fist blowjob, the first hickey, etc.), and between every milestone, he's going to want you to teach him how to pleasure you, even if you're still insisting you'd rather not let him touch you at all. he wants your full participation - it doesn't matter how many times he makes you cum on his tongue while you're sobbing into your pillow and trying to block him out, he's not going to stop until he hears your sweet voice encouraging with the little 'right there, kento's and 'good boy's he's made you rehearse. by the time you actually take his virginity, he's going to have made you feel dirtier than you ever could've made him feel, but so long as he's the one you're feeling dirty with, nanami doesn't really mind. not when he's buried inside you, his chest pressed into yours and he's too lost in his own pleasure to think the tears staining your cheeks are anything but beautiful.
anyway loser virgin nanami you will live forever. perhaps loser virgin gojo will pay for his crimes next.
#also it should go without saying that i love your work too <3#been ruminating on the death god vs life god fic today in particular#keep up the good work i want to see those men committing atrocities at record highs#yandere#yandere jujutsu kaisen#yandere nanami#nanami x reader#personal#eevwrites

Thoughts b4 bed, this...got ridiculously long..SKIP TOWARDS THE END for my Peri and Dev idea I'd like to personally see if you don't care about my godparenting ramble. 💖 (I marked it with a star for easy spotting.)
Godparenting is self harm (in certain situations). You CANNOT pair a fairy, who has basic empathy, with a child who is being neglected and/or abused, and expect them to NOT get attached or to love them.
Cosmo and Wanda loved Timmy. They were his parents!!
Juandissimo loved Remy. He couldn't move on from him.
It's also horrible for the kids when they get a fairy who doesn't develop that parental/guardian relationship.
Peri failed Dev because he remained distant and overly professional. (I'm not saying he didn't care, that's a whole other debate. I'm just saying he was not what Dev needed. Dev needed a Cosmo, Wanda, or Juandissimo.)
I'm sure other fairies failed kids in similar situations, maybe even worse, because they didn't want to fall into that emotional trap. It's BEYOND hard not to. You would have to be extremely hardened, dissociated, or heartless in order to do that.
At least the kids get to forget their failed experience.
Fairies have to remember. They have to remember for the rest of their lives that they either:
A) Got bonded with a kid and had to say goodbye, a type of goodbye that's honestly like a funeral. You will never see each other again (except in passing. But you can't contact them.) The loss and yearning would be too much for anyone.
B) Have to remember that they couldn't bond with the kid and thus failed them. They failed that neglected/abused child. That child had to grow up with their abuse without any escapism because you had to remain professional and throw away your whimsy. I'm CONVINCED Peri is NOT the only fairy to be annoying about "da rules". I'm actually pretty sure that's the NORM because of how all the fairies reacted to Cosmo and Wanda with Timmy.
Going into fairy godparenting, knowing that you could come out with either outcome, is self harm to me, (SH is doing anything that you KNOW will hurt you physically or emotionally, it can be any number of things! JS this here because people have a VERY narrow view about what counts as SH!) and really makes me overthink about like...
Fairy mental health? How does fairy therapy look like for these situations? I kind of envision it similar to ppl IRL who work with abused kids need therapy, yet they keep going. They keep moving on and helping kids (or doing their best to).
⭐️All this to say my idea for Peri and Dev:
I would love for Peri to learn from his situation with Dev and why it didn't work. I know ppl want them to get back together asap, but tbh I think a slow burn would work best, for Peri's mental health. I think Peri should shadow his parents and Hazel for a bit, and learn/see how they do things, including how they interact with kids. I think Peri needs some self reflection first.
My idea is this:
Peri shadows his parents for awhile and does some self reflection. While he shadows his parents, he watches Dev from afar. Not like, intently like some ppl HC, just in passing. Like Dev will interact with Hazel and Peri will make passing remarks like "he's a good kid", (if him and Hazel are getting along) or "oh, Dev.." (if he does smth rude to Hazel)
Eventually, smth happens to Dev that finally seals it for Peri, he has already been meditating on everything for awhile, but whatever happens to Dev is the final straw. (I wonder what happens??) And he gets permission to be Devs godparent again and then bursts in to save Dev!
(this would all happen maybe thruout the whole season, and this event would happen at the ending of S2? Ik ppl would be impatient for that, but!! I think it would work best AND be a rlly satisfying season conclusion!!) and a rlly good start for S3 (iiiif we got all that lmao, I'm being VERY hopeful that we get at least 3-4 seasons! which I shouldn't when S2 is still up in the air lol. oh well. I can dream.)
Uuuh. Yeah. IDk just some thoughts I've had. Sorry this was so long. If you read it then wow! I'm shocked haha. 💖 (bonus points if u read the tags hahaha)
goodnight. 💖💖
#dont feel obligated to read i just have brainworms#fop a new wish#dev dimmadome#fop anw#fop peri#fairly oddparents#personal#long#biiiig ramble#i want them to be happy!!! but i rlly think a lot needs to happen FIRST#im impatient too dw but letting peri ruminate needs to happen#i love peri but he just did not do a good job#and ik its prolly bc he didnt wanna get attached#maybe bc of timmy seperation#or bc he was always held in high standards and didnt wanna dissapoint everyone#either way he was not good imho#which tbh is good!!#it makes him complex and gives him room to grow for later eps!!!#makes things more interesting and makes a lotta fun possibilites!!#but yeah#blablabla

there’s probably something deeply wrong with me because every time i see someone react to the pok gukgak interrogation scene it’s like “oh no oh my god is riz’s dad a bad guy?” when the first time i saw that scene my only thought was “oh my god is riz’s dad HOT??”
#i mean admittedly my instinct was that he was lying about what he was saying & he was a good guy (which i was right about) but#it truly was like pok: i don’t give a shit about my wife & kid i only care about this job / me: pok gukgak save me… save me pok gukgak#fantasy high#dimension 20#pok gukgak#riz gukgak#in my defense i really love spies so watching someone convincingly act indifferent about the most important part of their life… CRAZYYY#but i still feel like i’m setting back feminism so many years but also. he got acid splashed on his face & didn’t even flinch… that’s hot#guy who would literally go through hell & back bc it’s for the greater good but would also if he had to do it for the people he loves#but like. the greater good always came before the people he loves. that was the job. he loved them so much but he also missed so much#how much WAS he willing to sacrifice for the sake of the job? work is a great form of love but it can’t be the only form#especially for a young kid. but yea idk i have complicated feelings#pok gukgak u r so fascinating to me#pok sklonda riz & work as a form of love or whatever#truly would not work as a campaign & would be better as a book but young pok young kalina young sklonda… i need to know EVERYTHINGGG#the shameful thirst post -> character rumination journey of these tags is truly Something but also par for the course w/ my brain

some more rye ingellvars! b/c I have fineagled. I have tweaked. we are getting ever closer every time I heave a big sigh and walk up to the mirror of transformation once more to put in my daily penance of moving the jawbone angle slider microscopically one way or the other
my boy... my son. the Most Profile Haver champion thirty-four years running <3
this one is mostly because lucanis standing there fully like the ben affleck smoking meme as big time necromancer drama goes down might be The funniest thing I've ever seen actually. PROS of falling in love with a Watcher: Bae :) CONS of falling in love with a Watcher: Bae's extended family feat. whatever the hell vorgoth is and megalomaniacal distant ex-aunts hellbent on world domination. well. to be fair I guess you also have to deal with illario so we're probably even
so determined so handsome so fierce and so "a decade plus on fantasy HRT and most people's go-to word to describe you would still be 'boyish'. but at least you wear it well" (rye is in their mid-thirties but is frequently mistaken for quite a bit younger on initial acquaintance. good genes absolutely no sun damage until recently and a certain youthfulness of mannerisms will do that to a motherfucker.)
he looks like a kid who's won a medal at some low-level sporting event and has been made to pose for a picture against his will and the photographer is taking a while <3 I would die for him
ah yes... ellaryen 'rye' ingellvar the tl;dr version (this conversation unexpectely fucked me up tho an emotional ambush I was not prepared for)
#it's actually half a lie that too much thinking isn't his problem.#he can ruminate with the best of them under the right conditions he isn't above that#it's more that in very specific high-impact moments#his brain skips past thinking into a gear called 'let's fucking go' and then he wakes up an hour later#having to explain everything to myrna and her inscrutable implacable calm#and it all seems a lot less self-evident and harder to explain from this angle of hindsight than it did while it was happening#it's straight up uncanny how attached I've become to rook so quickly rye feels like such a real character to me#he's literally some guy I know! and love#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#dragon age: the veilguard spoilers#dragon age spoilers#rook ingellvar#oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar#every so often the camera turns to show me rye in profile and every time I say yippie! yay! hurray! and other things of this nature#this hair is doing what I want it to a lot more after I did some adjustments to the scalp sliders!#it should still be more asymmetrical and cut differently but hey this'll do it gets the gists (and has the curliness)#rye and lucanis are pretty much the same height btw. which is very funny whenever they stand next to davrin or emmrich lol

Took a DnD alignment quiz and got true neutral and my brother was like “huh. I thought you’d be chaotic good,” and I’m like “sure, to YOU, but basically everyone else can go fuck themselves,” and really, I think that demonstrates how accurate the test is.
#I think a lot of people who test as Good TM are liars lol#or naive#which also maybe proves the accuracy of the test#but I seriously I got this from a bunch of gamers who tested as Good#and I think the ability to save scum in games gives people false ideas of what they’re capable of#like all this discourse about the emperor and him not letting himself be mercy-killed#as if he should have laid down and died and these people think they would have in his place#nah#self-preservation is such a base instinct people forget#I don’t think you really know yourself until you’ve been in dire circumstances#and well honestly I’m glad a lot of people haven’t#but I think people will surprise themselves in the moment by how selfish they can be#maybe that’s why I judge myself so much lol#but I guess I’m proud of myself too bc while I may not sacrifice myself for a cause#I stood between my father and my brother far too often at the risk of my own safety#and between my ex and his kid#they were worth it#but the rest of the world?#that’s asking a lot I’m not willing to give#especially since I don’t live in high fantasy lmao#morning rambles#I’ve been thinking a lot about morality recently#no wonder I got obsessed w bg3 recently#its themes line up with my recent ruminations so well

ahh when i did some long ass test for personality disorders and the psychologist was like 'you don't get results like this unless u were emotionally neglected. were u emotionally neglected' and I was like Shrug. apparently so
#i was gonna say i feel like just approaching it like that and not expounding#isnt great practice but honestly my memory is fuzzy#and i DID bring up wanting to test for it so maybe it was assumed i did know what signs of it are#ultimately this didnt lead to anything but i wish i had a copy of those results lmao#idr what the test was anymore. but its been a while since i did the mmpi#i have to wonder if its changed at all..#anyways im pretty sure this was at the very end of high school#ok just had a look at the old results and fuck that lol#i dont remember what any of this shit means frankly i just dont ruminate anymore and cant be fucked trying to do the test again

hey quick question what does it mean when you pull the exact same tarot card in reverse twice in 3 days after plenty of shuffling and flipping random cards upside down just asking for a friend!!!!!!!
#sdkflsjd i have the heebie jeebies!!!!#personally i don't believe that like. 'spirits' are talking to me through the cards or anything like that#but this really weirded me out lmao 😭#i was ruminating on the exact same topic too before pulling the card...#if anyone is curious i pulled the high priestess in reverse today and the day before yesterday#thinking about isolation and social connection and reaching out to someone specific 🥴#so uhhhhh i guess maybe i should stop convincing myself to Not reach out to this person and just do it.#river talks

any hopes for kiwami 3? like things u wanna see added or changed stuff like that
if they dont keep kiryu's goofy walk stance and the hoof-like walk sounds i dont wanna play it
#snap chats#no one understands how much i love that from y3 and y4 its genuinely one of my favorite things about the game#oh but i guess i have to give an actual answer now. HMPH.#id scream if they revived kanda calling mine limp wristed. homophobia in 4k#OK BUT TO BE SERIOUS uhhhh i dont know. im a real simple guy i think#my only like. If This Isnt There Im Leaving deal is mine's palette and im so serious#rgg's scaring me with all the black-hair/purple-suit mine stuff as of late and i cant stress how hard ill vomit if thats in the final#HYPOTHETICAL final anyways. yk3 isnt coming out for. IDK A WHILE#i wanna say i hope they highlight daigo and mine's relationship more but i dont know how theyd do that#i really like how mine's handled in y3 as is so i dont think i want scenes injected like what they did with yk1 and nishiki#someone said a Mine Saga after the game and... hm ... sounds too unrealistic for me to hope for it#like im REALLY trying to think how they could possibly reference the rggo stories in y3 since those are EXCELLENT but#i think . MAYBE. you could reference the story where richardson calls mine as he's driving to the hospital#the only thing you'd have to exclude though is mine stopping by the bar- like JUST keep the phone conversation maybe#cause in that scene that subordinate does question mine if he can really kill daigo and i think thatd be neat. in my opinion.#yeah i dont know. in regards to rggo its hard to think of what i want without intervening things i already like about y3#its a real head scratcher ...#a really good epilogue addition would be adapting that RGGO bit where daigo ruminates on mine. that's a fair ending for him i think#it also fulfills the need to see how daigo saw mine even if its just a little#and to non-rggo readers it could start to answer 'how does daigo feel about everything that happened'#im still so curious as to if daigo was briefed on EVERYTHING that happened but .... anyways....#sorry all my hopes for y3 are just mine/minedai centric fLVKELKA BUT LIKE. i really am content with everything else with y3 surprisingly#idk. i want kiryu fucking up that curry in high definition tho. thats important to me#THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE QTES DURING THE RICHARDSON FIGHT ILL BE PISSED#i need the fight to be AS CAMPY and unnecessary as it was in the og. INCLUDING richardson's voice acting i need it wack as hell#is it weird i actually appreciate the Diet Building Loredumping being like. in replayable-cutscene form#i thought id prefer just One Long cutscene but im glad theres the option to skip those segments#BUT being able to get a refresher in case you missed something somehow#im running out of tags jesus christ i shouldve put this in the main text but vjALjlagj those are all my thoughts for now bYE

Tbh I don't think Gojo is a virgin by the mere fact that he probably pulled one of those "practice sex with your bestie before getting a proper partner so you don’t suck as it" that he saw in a hentai with Geto
no because the exact Thing gojo and geto have going on is so precious and specific to me. do i think that they're soulmates who have a deeply romantic connection that neither of them could ever truly let go of, even if they were forced to move past it? yes. do i know that gojo satoru did not know he could touch his dick before the age of twenty-three? also yes. they definitely seem like the type of freaks who would ""practice"" jerking off together, but i cannot shake the unwavering belief that the furthest they ever physically got was, like, some chaste hand-holding between classes. i don't know why they both reek of virgin but tragically they do.
#tbh the only sorcerer characters in jjk that don't are shoko and nananmi#shoko bc yeah#and nanami bc he was goth for AT LEAST all of high school#and then a repressed salary man sooo yeah#oh wait that kind of slaps actually#salary man nanami + call/cam girl reader hmmmmmm#i will be ruminating#personal#anon ask
