So does dale see timmy as a friend? Or a therapist?

Is he just looking for validation because doug never gave it to him?

What about villian peri is he just a clingy little brother? Or does he think that if timmy says he's proud that it'll validate him?

Or do they both even if they don't want to admit it or maybe even release it think that he can fix them?

Sorry about all the questions I'm really curious.

Im glad you asked! ..I think its gonna be a bit more yapping than i thought id give Im sorry-

Well...Dale see Timmy as a friend. In his own way. Tho he tells himself that Timmy is just a very nice opportunity to have a lawyer AND second opinion & can ask anything in the same meeting without need to schedule anyone less pleasant and waisting his time

Is he just looking for validation because doug never gave it to him? Well, a bit yea. Dale doesnt seem to be the social type anyway. So he takes Timmy s words sometimes a bit too seriously, he doesnt get opinions outside of random focus-groups and Au-pairs. But Timmy doesnt get why Dale is so eager to get HIS opinion, gives anyway. They share some interests and opinions and thats enough for Dale to consider Timmy his vent-friend. And for Timmy this meetings are not that bad too, so ..he still sometimes liiks forward to em.

Is Peri just a clingy little brother? Or does he think that if timmy says he's proud that it'll validate him? Peri is not sure that his parents will fully understand him. But his bro is closer to him, so he should! He is a bit more honest with him and over time Timmys "yes" becomes more valid, thats all! Peri doesnt always understand that Timmy made a joke/sarcastic comment/ etc tho.

In conclusion: yes they both seek feedback from Timmy cause he is valid for them in their own thoughts. And they both trust him a bit more than others in some topics.

Peri will panic if Tim/anyone important give bad reaction.

Dale is much calmer to any feedback and for him negative reaction is better than none at all.

A little something featuring Fuuta and Es after talking about their criminal lack of interaction in fanworks with @waivyjellyfish ! You had such awesome ideas (a few of which I'm still bouncing around in my head to post at some point,) but this one ended up taking over my brain -- I hope you enjoy 😅 Attempting to answer the widely-debated question:

“Oi, why didn’t you hit me?”

Es looked up from their paperwork.

“Prisoner number three. Most people are glad when they’re not struck.”

“Well, I’m not.” 

Es usually left the door open at this hour, in case anyone had any last-minute complaints before curfew. No one usually took them up on the offer. They figured that if there was any prisoner they could count on to complain, it would be Fuuta marching through their door.

“You hit all the other guys. You even hit some of the girls that were giving you trouble. So what? You think I’m too weak? You think I can’t take it?” Fuuta spread his arms. “I can, so show me what you’ve got!”

Es sighed. They put down their pen. They folded their gloved hands together, resting their chin on top. “Fuuta, I’m not going to hit you.”

“Why not?”

“As of right now, I have no reason to. If you’re referring to the interrogations…”

They reflected on the first one they'd shared with him. To be fair, the thought had crossed their mind. It would have been satisfying to give this rowdy prisoner a taste of his own medicine – striking him after such a dramatic charge at them. But Es was always good at reading people. It didn’t take them long to understand Fuuta was the type to lash out first and ask questions later. In fact, that was likely what had landed him in Milgram in the first place. 

Although Es knew they weren’t here to do any reformation, they wanted to try to show these prisoners where they’d gone wrong. So, they resolved to act as the bigger person. They’d prove that senseless violence was just that. By keeping their composure, they’d show Fuuta just how childish he was being. 

That wasn’t my only reason. I guess that's true, my actions weren’t all purely righteous. I still spent the entire time looking for ways to make him squirm… But it wasn’t all cruelty. I really did want to understand. I wanted to help. That counts for something, right?

Es never struck the prisoners out of anger, or as a petty show of power. It was a way to force the prisoner to mind their ego. When they’d gotten a bit too full of themselves, a bit too comfortable with the awful deed they’d committed, Es’ blow encouraged them to feel a bit more humility and guilt. 

By the time the second trial arrived, Fuuta oozed guilt. 

The moment Es entered the interrogation room, it was clear that he needed no lesson in humility. He hugged his arms to his chest. His remaining eye darted around the room in thinly-veiled hysteria. His voice trembled when he spoke. It didn’t require any people-reading skills to hear the remorse that underlaid all of his accusations and threats.

Hitting the others felt like giving a dog a tap on the nose after breaking a rule. Meanwhile, Fuuta snapped and snarled like a stray who’d been kicked time and time again.

Of course, he could never know any of this. Any way Es phrased it, Fuuta would misunderstand it as pity.

Well, wasn’t it? I thought he looked like a kicked puppy – that sounds a lot like pity. No, it was out of respect. Does that mean I didn’t respect the prisoners I did hit? No. I respected them too. Then, what’s the difference?

Fuuta was still staring at them, asking the very same question. What’s the difference?

“Each of Milgram’s prisoners is unique.” 

They were met with an unimpressed glare.

Es chose their words carefully. “Each one responds best to a variety of treatments. Some need attention to be comfortable, while others need time. Some need validation in order to confess. Others, a bit of debate does the trick. Some need a show of force. You –” remind me too much of myself  “– require something else. I’ve learned to change my approach depending on the person I’m dealing with.”

Fuuta’s features flashed with confusion, then shame, then his usual mask of anger. “Tch. How pathetic.”

“Excuse me?”

“So you just change your personality when it’s convenient? You put up fake smiles and fake attitude? Have some balls and just be yourself.”

Es was caught by surprise. “... I am. Those are all pieces of myself. I choose to bring out different parts when it would be most helpful.” 

“Sounds manipulative as hell to me.” 

It makes sense he doesn’t understand. He’s a very clear-cut person, with every aspect of his personality lining up in a way that makes sense. I find that predictability fun. Or, is it something that I envy? Could it be both?

They had no time to dwell on it, as Fuuta was struck with an idea. “Though, if you can do it on command, why don’t you give me the ‘you’ that wants to hit someone?” 

He spread his arms once more, hands gesturing to his chest. Es pretended not to notice him wince. They remained in their seat. 

“What are you waiting for? Hit me!” 

“I will not.”

“You just said you can change your personality on a whim, so let’s see it!” 

“That is not what I said.”

His good eye began to look frenzied. He raised his voice. “You scared? The big bad warden of Milgram, nothing but a big coward!”

“Stop this. You’re acting childish.”

“No! You’re treating me childishly! Let me see the Es that kicked Shidou! The one that slapped Kazui! Treat me like you treated them!”

“I hit them because they said something stupid. They deserved it.”

“Are you fucking kidding? I deserve it too! I deserve it! Come on!”

At the last word, his voice broke. He stumbled to his knees. He let his head drop. He sucked in strained breath after strained breath. Shidou would surely give him a lecture about getting so worked up with his injuries. 

Es finally stood.

They made their way around the desk. They knelt on the floor in front of him. 

“Why?” he wheezed. “Tell me…”

“Fuuta.” 

Should I just go ahead and do it, just to make him happy? No, I want to talk it out. But what do even I say? I'll tell him that I care. I can’t. None of the prisoners understand that I care. Why? Why is it so hard for them to see? I’m trying my best, why can’t they see? 

Es extended their hand carefully. They didn’t know what they hoped to accomplish, but in that moment their thoughts were too loud and conflicting. They needed to do something.

Fuuta saw the gentle intention, and immediately raised his own hand to strike. It froze midair, though whether it was from Milgram’s restrictions or his own hesitation, Es would never know.

Neither of their gestures connected.

Footsteps. Then Yuno’s voice, hesitantly from the doorway. “We heard shouting, is everything alright in here?”

Es retracted their hand.  A beat. Fuuta dropped his, too. 

“Yuno. Yes, we’re fine. Fuuta was just heading to bed. I’m going to walk him to his cell.”

“I can handle myself.”

“I said, I’m going to walk him to his cell.” 

Es stood, nodding to Yuno. When she’d gone, they turned their attention back to the prisoner crumpled on the ground. They made an effort to quiet their ever-racing thoughts. 

“Listen. I know you can handle yourself. I’m not doing this because I think you’re weak. You’re strong. Don’t think for a moment that I don’t see that.”

They held out their arm to help him up. He didn’t move.

“Sometimes you are a bit too strong, if you ask me. I mean, picking fights with your prison warden, really?” They clicked their tongue. “You should be grateful for a superior that gives you second chances.”

At last, Fuuta  took their hand. He avoided meeting their eyes, but his voice had softened considerably from his rant. “The only thing you give me is a headache.”

Es offered a dry smile as they pulled him to his feet. “The feeling is mutual.”

I'm so looking forward to iroh and zuko properly talking and seeing irohs reaction to zuko being gay.

Like we all know he doesn't agree with the fire nation rn but how will he react?

Will he not support him cause sokkas a guy? Will he not support him because it's SOKKA? Will he accept him? Will he reveal he's known for years zuko was gay?

Especially with everything that happened with zhao, regarding to what jee said to bato on their date. (Which is a very understandable perspective, zuko just got out of this very sexually traumatising situation and almost immediately starts a relationship (his first relationship) with sokka, but then again it is a very unique situation)

One thing I love about some atla fics is how they portray the FNs thoughts on queerness, cause on one hand they were one of the only country's (I think) that treated men and women the same but then again it's also the fucking fire nation.

And I also think zukos whole canon arc can be very comparative to queerness,

His dads an asshole and after speaking out against him he throws him out, and zuko try's for 3 years to regain his father's love and acceptance, and then faced with the opportunity of regaining it takes it immediately regardless of who or what he may hurt (iroh, his own morals etc) but once he makes it back home realises how fucked up everything is and eventually confronts his dad and openly tells him he doesn't agree with him then runs aways.

I also wonder if iroh secretly knows jee is queer it doesn't seem that likely to me but it also is iroh so who knows.

<3

I do think Iroh’s reaction will be a big moment for not only the story but for Zuko’s character development. Right now, Zuko’s technically still a prisoner, holding himself there by assuming Iroh will not understand or judge him when in reality he’ll never know what his uncle is thinking until they TALK ABOUT IT. (Which the FN royal family is just sooo good at healthy communication I don’t understand why this is so hard for them lol?!)

I do agree that the suddenness of the relationship combined with the intensity from both zuko and Sokka is very alarming for people looking at it from the outside (I mean we all totally get it cause we were there but others are like uhhhh hmmmm ok this might be concerning) so I get them gossiping and wondering if this is truly real or what the fucks going on with those boys.

I love Zukos canon arc because there’s just so much about zukos story that can be relatable no matter who you are and I think that’s why he is a fan favorite (it doesn’t explain why we torture him the way we do but ehhhh it’s fine haha)

Hmmmmmm does iroh know Jees gay? Depends on how saucy those music nights got ;)

On a Scale of 1-10 how much do you love the gnomes 👀

On a scale of 1-10? ?

Friend, you gotta think bigger!!

I've loved the gnomes so much that, back in 2022, Big Critical Role tried to take me out. They didn't want me loving those gnomes so purely and sincerely!! "No, no," they cried, "She's too powerful! The gnomes aren't marketable; they aren't profitable. They'll never get the numbers! They're a joke — a joke! Quick, tear them from her!!! 🫵"

Joke's on them though, because I'm enmeshed with these fictional gnomes in a deeply mentally unwell way and even their worst tactics couldn't pry my love for them from my heart!!!

so, you ask me: scale of 1-10? but, friend, I raise you: scale of 1-∞, because my love for these gnomes....has no limit.

Thank you, thank you 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ goodnight!!!

[dazai-on-my-mind]

want to hear your bsd animatic ideas.... i remember you making a few posts relating to the songs/an album(?) that you said fits a lot for some bsd animatic ideas, but can't find them so asking :'3 sorries if it didn't happen, i might have confused some stuff hsbsbdbbd

Here's the ones I've currently thought out

But I haven't thought of a lot lately

OMG while typing this I thought of an angsty animatic set to Let Us Adore you (Reprise) from the SU movie but with Aya being welcomed into the ADA (Specifically Yosano, Fukuzawa, and Ranpo) and when they sing "Yes we know that you're not her" they're referencing to Kunikida.

(I hurt myself with that one)

Cranes in the Sky by Solange with Dazai (I'm sorry I'm so obsessed with him it's unhealthy 😭)

To Lose Someone by Joy Crooks and the beginning where the singer is speaking we see Dazai's sitting in a booth at the cafe. There's a cup of coffee sitting next to his bandaged arm. He's talking to someone but we don't see who it is until the end. But throughout the song it's Dazai's memories with the port mafia and how they contrast to his current time at the ADA. (you have to listen to the song it makes sense I promise 😭😭😭😭) the end of the song the camera pans out and we see he was talking to Atsushi.

Something with Atsushi and Stand Tall by Childish Gambino where Atsushi is falling in a black void and was at first plagued with hallucinations of his director but they're soon replaced with members of the ADA (still hallucinations) telling him to stand tall. He awakens in a cold sweat to find Kyouka looking at him with worry on her face and then they hug because family.

Wavy (Interlude) by SZA with Yosano where Yosano is walking/dancing with the beat while memories of her past flash with each negative lyric. (Another one of those just trust me bro it's the lyrics.)

Split by Willow with the Beast Akutagawa siblings. Idk what leads up to it but I just need the chorus to show Akutagawa staring in disbelief as he sees Gin willingly working with the Power Mafia.

😇 fandom fave blorbo: to the surprise of absolutely nobody in the audience, Near Death Note. everything to me

😈 fandom fave meow meow: you know this has me thinking about, what's the criteria for a meow meow that makes them different from a blorbo? is Near a meow meow to me? I don't think he is. who's my favourite Death Note meow meow then? Light is so pathetic to me, which I think is an essential meow meow criterion, but I don't like him enough to call him my favourite meow meow. and my Other Favourite Blorbo Mello, while having SOME pathos, is more firmly on the tragic side of things, and therefore -- in my humble opinion -- not pathetic enough to be a meow meow despite the phonetic similarities (unless he is literally turned into a literal cat through some shenanigan or other). WAIT A MINUTE I HAVE RECEIVED DIVINE INSPIRATION. Matsuda Death Note. that's the quintessential Death Note meow meow to me. that's it. thank you for coming to my ted talk

insurance things suck. :(

idk if this will be helpful for you, but ages ago i was recommended this website that has coupons for prescription medication. i’ve never had to use it so unfortunately i don’t know more about how to use it, but i figured i’d at least pass it along.

https://www.lowermyrx.com/

i do know there are other pharmacy coupon websites though, so explore those too!

i really hope it gets better for you. sending good vibes for your journey soldier, godspeed 🫡

thank you for your kind words and for the advice! the lady at the pharmacy counter also recommended i look to see if there are manufacturer coupons for my specific drugs, or ask my doctor if there's approved generics/alternatives that would work for me. i'm still gonna try and see if a stern phone call with my insurance will get them to actually cover my meds again like they used to but if that doesn't work out i definitely will be looking to see where else i can save a few bucks

gin, we need your critical opinion about megalopolis. was it really that bad?

i mean.

is it unwatchable? no. but also it is not good for sure. would love for it to be a case of "so bad it circles back being somehow good", but unfortunately no, becasue in order to achieve such a thing coppola should have gone camp and embraced the style instead of taking himself too seriously.

there are. ideas. that considered by themselves sort of make sense if you are desperate to find sense in this insanity of a movie, but whether within or without context for the large part they remain disjointed. and are anyway very cringe at core. i don't know how to put it kindly but the script just sucks. and choices were made.

It must be terrifying to know that everything you’ve seen, everything you’ve done, is going to be gone. Not even little Ollie gets to stay.

But it’s okay, yeah? Why don’t you spend today writing down as much as you can? Whatever you think is important. People, places, things you did, things you saw or felt or thought…

*A black and white notebook drops into your hands. If your hands aren’t out, it drops to the floor in front of you.*

Write.

We’ll keep the book safe for you until you’ve got enough of you back to handle it. Don’t want evil ChatGPT in there to destroy it, or for a newly reset Alphonze to try to get rid of something that can’t possibly be true, do we?

That’d be a lot to write down I’m not 𓅰 even sure if I have time

Look, Fuckass is up. Sourires next. I don’t have 𓅰 time. I already spent most of it just walkin’ around. I don’t. I don’t know

I’ll try though, don’t be surprised if there isn’t too much in it.

[umemiyan]

hihi robin! i wanted to ask you about your perception quirk- when it's activated, is it overwriting your regular run-of-the-mill senses or are you able to separate the two? like if you're outdoors on a super hot sunny day, is the heat on your skin a backdrop to whatever sense you're focusing on/using your quirk with?

additionally! how much stronger are your other quirk-powered senses compared to a quirkless person's? e.g. would your nose be as sensitive as a dog's? perhaps even stronger?

HI BITTI !!!!! thank u for asking <3 these are some good questions!!

it can be difficult at times to focus/separate the senses from each other so that the “activated” one is being used to its full potential, especially in certain circumstances where there’s a lot of overwhelming/unusual stimuli. it’s something that would take a lot of training and time to refine without any aid such as earplugs and other “sense-killers” for instance.

so yeah, in your example, the heat on my skin could very well affect the clarity of whatever i’m trying to perceive if i haven’t taken the proper measures to try and tune it out! none of my senses ever really get “turned off” or lessened while i’m using my quirk—one of them just gets enhanced. that’s why sensory deprivation type stuff can be useful in amplifying or recharging my abilities.

my senses are also quite a bit stronger than the average person’s! all of this is honestly based on my real life disposition lol. i have very good hearing (often to my detriment), a very strong sense of smell and taste (i am what they call a “super-taster”), and am very sensitive to touch/textures but am prone to wanting to touch things anyway lol. the only area in which i have become somewhat challenged is my eyesight LMAO which now that i’m thinking about it, could be an interesting aspect to throw in 🤔 i shall have to ponder

so!!!! quirk!me would have those qualities but probably even more so, especially when they’re “activated.” idk if it’d measure up to a dog’s sense of smell or anything like that, but it would certainly be well above the average human’s! tho it’s something that would also depend on my ability to focus/tune other things out. the better i get, the more i think my senses would sharpen overall.
