#i am NOT saying this negatively AT ALL

[flyingspicerack]

its amazing to see how the fandom has evolved, even while not being here in the before times

more often than not its ALWAYS a choro sweep around here when back in the day (ive been told) it was always kara and ichi?

i havent seen an ichi sweep ... ever? unless it was the ichipeen mass posting... just... so fascinating?

edit: my point has been made wHILE i was making this post

The maths fandom is wild. “Real” and “imaginary” numbers? I think you mean canon and non-canon. You guys seriously go “this is my number oc his name is i and he is the square root of -1” when in numbers canon lore it’s actually impossible to square root a negative but sure whatever. “Complex numbers”? I think you mean a character x oc ship. “f(x) = 3x - 5”? That is self-insert fanfiction.

every day i think about the fact that early season garmadon found out lloyd was the green ninja and in reaction to lloyd rejecting that fact bc he didn't wanna fight his dad he was just like "no son, this is the right path for you, and I'm really proud of you. From this point on I'll fight you with all my will out of respect, but I fully expect that in the end you'll destroy me, and I will have deserved it because I'm irredeemably evil and incapable of controlling my actions" and then a little later Lloyd just blasts him with the anti evil juice proving that he was completely wrong.

And then two more seasons later he chooses to trade his own life and go to hell to atone for some different irredeemable sin he perceives himself to have committed anyways. Like none of that even mattered.

The Nobleman or 양반 (yangban): The smiling face represents the bluff and composure that an aristocrat is often known to have. The chin is a separate piece from the top of the mask, and the actors can lean forward and back to make the mask smile or frown as needed.

This monk who abandons his doctrines, or 취발이 (chwibari): Chwibari was originally a monk, but he had no intention of joining the monastic order, so he came down to the world and wanders. Represented with a forehead full of wrinkles and spots.

The widow or, 부네 (Punae/bune): represented to be a widow, or a kisaeng ( a woman who sang, danced, or played an instrument to provide entertainment for company at a drinking party), or a mistress of the Yangban. She has a very small mouth, round cheeks and forehead- giving a general look of happiness good-humor.

After a few days from my exam of the season, and the start of my break I would expect a more positive update, but I have not been doing well. My anxiety has spiked up, I am struggling to actually relax, and I feel like I am on the verge of a panic attack all of the time. I am not sure it's only the consequence of all the accumulated stress finally being released. I am regretting having emailed my thesis supervisor so fast, I should have given myself actual rest time before opening a new academic quest and it's weighing down on me badly. In the hopes of eliminating my procrastination anxiety right away, I simply given myself another mental burden I don't have control over, which was the last thing I needed right at this moment. There is no going back now and I feel like I will be unable to actually make the most of my long awaited break. Idk I just wish I could shut my brain off for a while and lock the world out for a bit. To help with the situation I have been keeping myself distracted as best as I could with audiobooks. They do not require the mental energy of physically reading a book, but they do provide the escapism I desperately need now. The one thing I need now is a manual task to keep me busy. I might reorganize my bookshelves for the millionth time, or find something to craft. I just need to keep myself busy enough not to let my anxiety take over.

"just be yourself" has always been one of my most hated things to hear from someone. it may sound simple and easy to you, but when you grew up never able formed a single solid personality (because you grew up autistic or for some other reason) and/or have always felt more like 20 different personalities in a trench coat who fight over who is supposed to be in charge, that "simple" advice is so much less simple.....it can even seem impossible.

I absolutely understand why Babe would forgive Charlie so quickly. These two moments right here explains it perfectly:

And this one

Babe has spent almost his entire adult life feeling like he can’t love anyone. Feeling like he can’t, like he wasn’t worthy of that love, that he wasn’t worth it. He wanted someone who would love him uncondititionally and completely. Someone who would take care of him and not judge him. Then came Charlie. For all of Charlie’s flaws and lies, that is the one thing I don’t think I’ve ever doubted. Charlie loves Babe. He loves Babe so much but he also knows that if he tries to tell Babe who he is right away, Babe will reject him. Babe will, like he did at first, assume that it is all a part of Tony’s plan to get Babe back, to force him to go along with what Tony is planning.

With the foundation that their relationship has now, Babe knows that Charlie loves him. That everything he did, no matter how fucked up, was because he loved him. Charlie offers to die so that Babe will gets his senses back. I think that right there says a lot about how much Charlie loves Babe. How much Charlie loves period. He was even willing to lie to Tony on something easily fact checked. He lies and says he hasn’t seen Jeff. If Tony doesn’t know Jeff works at the garage I’d be very surprised. Charlie is so completely willing to put himself into harms ways for those that he loves. And Babe knows that.

So Babe forgives him. Babe forgives Charlie because Charlie disproves every single negative thing Babe has ever thought about his ability to love, about his ability to be loved. Babe is so starved for love, for touch, for someone to love him. Charlie gives it to him in spades, never stopping. Babe feels safe enough with Charlie to actually love him back. Something he has never done before, he’s never felt like he could.

This is also not so incidentally why I won’t get on the “Way might be a walking red flag but I’m color blinded” train. I have felt the exact same way Babe has felt before, something I still struggle with to this day. That kind of intense self loathing is tough to live with. Babe lived with his for years before Charlie. He never felt like could love anyone, and Way made him feel that. Way made him feel like he wasn’t worthy. It feels like an extremely fucked up version of “if I can’t have him no one can”. I do think it comes from Way also feeling similar to Babe, which is why I am still ultimately sympathetic to Way as a character, but the boy needs to step the fuck back from Babe and let the man live his life and be happy with Charlie. Babe has said so many times, including to his face, that he and Way could only ever be friends. Way just doesn’t seem willing to accept that, which a big yikes for me. Add the hypnosis on top of that and if this were in any other genre, I’d be voting for Way to get his head lopped off. Still I love Way is able to move on, whether that is with Pete or not. Hopefully his and Babe’s friendship will improve because of it.

So yeah, I don’t find it surprising at all that Babe is willing to forgive Charlie that easily. Charlie is everything he’s ever wanted on a silver platter. He was also willing to be completely honest with Babe as soon as Babe asked for honesty. He didn’t lie, he didn’t beat around the bush. He explained it all, point blank. He didn’t even lie about being the reason Babe lost his senses, even when he could have and it’s likely Babe would have never found out. Charlie proved that he does love Babe, genuinely and completely. He wants to protect Babe no matter what. He is willing to do anything. It’s exactly what Babe wants and what he needs. I have no doubt Babe will give back as good as he gets too.

This likely isn’t the end of the road for this discussion. I think they will revisit it eventually, though under what circumstances I can’t say. For now, Babe is willing to forgive him easily, because he loves Charlie and Charlie loves him. In the end, that’s all Babe wants and now that he is getting the chance, he’s going to grab it and hold on with both hands. He knows he can do that because he knows, down to his core, that Charlie will do the same for him.

/rp for this entire post (cuz im not putting tr! each time i mention a name)

i only saw a little bit of the lore just now because i was in class, but holy shit is today the day for the aimros redemption arc????

i was never really into aimros because i thought aimsey and ros just... had a very unbalanced and lowkey toxic relationship? like, not even out of malice but... aimsey would constantly make ros question her beliefs in her bonds within the kingdom, especially with clown. and sure, this is because aimsey didnt know clown well (or... at all) and was solely focusing on what little evidence they had (clown's scary reputation, ros getting more violent after becoming his apprentice). cuz aimsey, before their death, had an issue of making up their mind about something and sticking to it, even when evidence came up that clearly contradicted it. and they definitely viewed ros as a damsel in distress who didnt have the agency or mental faculties to be able to protect herself from manipulation, and aimsey didnt trust anyone but themself, so they took up the role of telling ros what they think she should do rather than letting her decide for herself.

(shout out to @/magnecalliope's fic they wrote today. goes into pre-death aimsey's mindset very well, even if its more intense than canon. its so good. ough.)

and ros has this whole issue with aimsey where she would constantly get jealous about aimsey hanging out with other people, especially people she didnt like, like krow. and she would try to badmouth those people to aimsey in order to get them to stop hanging out with people other than her, unintentionally (but also intentionally. its complicated.) isolating aimsey. also, all the stalking. ros straight up stalks aimsey. i know we tend to frame ros as a pretty princess who can do no wrong but she DOES just straight up stalk aimsey and listens in on their conversations to know whats going on instead of just asking them. thats FUCKED.

both of them were... bad for each other. even if they both clearly care very deeply for each other, and their actions come from good intentions, it was very toxic. they both constantly doubted each others agency, and isolated and gaslit each other in an effort to "solve the problem" for each other, rather than just being upfront and honest in conversations with each other.

but... as much as aimsey's death hurt... i really think it changed something in how aimsey sees the world. aimsey is so much more open to being emotionally honest, and they're starting to finally truly trust ros' judgement. they still have a bit of a habit of being stuck in their opinions, like saying they knew exactly who ros was today (while i think aimsey knows ros very well, they dont know EXACTLY who she is. which is mostly due to ros still not wanting to talk about her feelings), but!!! it's a start!!! they told ros that her kingdom needed her! they told her to go to sneeg about owen because he's a reasonable guy! and they told her that she NEEDS to start letting them in instead of watering down all her issues to them, so they can truly understand each other and whats happening. and also they talked about how they keep saying they trust and support each other in private conversations, but then do the opposite in front of other people!! which was SO FUCKING IMPORTANT for them to acknowledge!! holy shit!!!

theyre not perfect. a lot of problems still need to be addressed. i REALLY think aimsey needs to learn how much LoSA truly means to ros (IF ONLY CLOWNPIERCE WOULD LOG ON!!!!) so they finally stop questioning ros' relationship with them. they seem to be realizing that sneeg is a good guy for ros... NOW WE NEED CLOWN!!!!! i also want aimsey to stop being so stuck in their opinions, but i think thats a process thats already begun but its just... slow going. i believe.

also. ros really needs to get her shit together. owen is tormenting her and she NEEDS to finally be honest with the people she cares about. she needs to be upfront which is. easier said than done with ros but. by god can i hope. AND HOLY SHIT ROS STOP STALKING PEOPPPLEEEEEEE

i truly think that if aimsey and ros keep going the way theyre going, and finally cut all the bullshit with how theyve treated each other pre-aimsey's death, i think i can finally get behind aimros. i think they can finally treat each other as equals, rather than needing to "save" (denying the agency of) each other from the rest of the server.

we can only hope!!!!

At this point I don't know how to explain what protagonists are and how they work

To be clear I don't think it's fair that Scott should be allowed to switch factions when it has been denied in the past and there are a lot of problems with the factions that need to be addressed.

But it is objectively funny that Tubbo's immediate solution to this was to threaten to blow himself up.

People can point to Limited Life as the flower husbands divorce season all they want but imo it is THE BEST version of FH. They might have divorced TO YOU. But I see them secretly making out behind a wall
