#i know it cant be canon but i like it either way Tumblr posts

[reco-obsessed]

listen. i dont want to make things needlessly edgy. especially in a game like yttd where it manages to bypass that in places others wouldnt. however. would anyone else like to consider a secretly depressed joe tazuna with me. keep in mind- this isnt me basing this idea off any evidence within the game. happy, mentally fufilled joe is the intended canon as far as i can tell- or at least chronically depressed joe is probably not the intended idea. so this is practically an AU. but to me- to me- theres something so narratively interesting about a joe tazuna who was going to kill himself either way. who had a quiet, contemplative, and even hateful side- but only directed to himself. who was incredibly good at keeping that hidden. who enjoys being around some quiet and serious like sara, who wants to see her dark side shes afraid of, not out of blind trust or a one-sided friendship but in the sense that he has that side he wants no one to see, thats too sad. him being a person who is always morphing himself a bit- change your haircut, add pins, consider this- always in a state of being a little unsatisfied with himself. someone who befriends everyone but stays on the surface as much as possible. always making other people happy but never for himself. emotionally intelligent enough to know that people see him as stupid and vapid and feel insecure about that, but never willing to seek comfort, because if he really is that dumb, what else does he have to offer to other people but keeping the mood light? so he cant drop being happy all the time. a joe tazuna who was a ticking time bomb no one knew about. a joe tazuna who slips into the role of lying to everyone in order to save sara so easily when he gets the sacrifice card because he has always lied to everyone and has always wanted to die.

Listen up, what if...

Transmasc Kenny, who is dysphoric about his voice so he makes it muffled on purpose

Transmasc Kenny, who wears his parka to make his body less curvy and femenine

Transmasc Kenny, who cut his own hair when he was 4 and (expectedly) made a huge mess, so he started wearing his hood up to avoid anyone seeing it

Transmasc Kenny, who's been going by his name since he was a little kid, mostly as a nickname until people wouldn't know his legal name

Transmasc Kenny, who purposefully picked home ec because he thought he'd be forced there like Wendy was (and also because he liked it and didn't wanna get killed at shop class but yk)

Transmasc Kenny, who the teachers didn't see as a girl at all to the point they didn't even look at his legal papers and directly put him in shop class

Transmasc Kenny, who was upset by this but also so reassured because it meant he passed so well

Transmasc Kenny, whose friends have no idea he's trans, not because he hides it but because they didn't ask

Transmasc Kenny, who still enjoys dressing as Princess Kenny just because it's fun

Transmasc Kenny, who does and says all that hypersexualised straight stuff because nobody would think a girl would say that

Transmasc Kenny, who uses Mysterion as an excuse to practice making his voice lower

Transmasc Kenny :)

it should be illegal to be this fucking stupid so loudly and confidently omg..

mfs on the internet preach about "media literacy" yet they completely gloss over the fact that the only damn things that kusuo "canonically" is are a tsundere, an unreliable narrator, and a fucking liar LMFAOOO.. babe thats like basic reading comprehension, im sorry..

EDIT: it should go without saying not to send a person hate just because of a silly post like this one(+i dont have any reach anyway so im sure it wouldnt happen, but i wanna say this nonetheless lol) but i would just like to say that i just checked and realized that this person is 15 years old, so like... yeah, too young to be arguing with grown people on the internet. dont take this too serious or send this person hate pls lol..

[sonknuxadow]

you know i do wonder how many sonic characters actually have living parents. like knuckles is the last of his kind so obviously his parents arent around anymore. both guys who could be considered shadows dads are 100 percent confirmed dead. sonic is canonically an orphan im pretty sure. and on the other side of the coin cream is like the only character in the game cast who has a living parent we actually see onscreen. but what about everyone else i dont think theres a straight answer for any other character. other than rouge's mom being mentioned a couple times i Guess but we dont even know anything about her or if shes still alive just that she existed at some point. are these kids constantly putting themselves in danger because they dont have parents around to stop them or because their parents just dont care

thinking thoughts thinking thoughts thinking thoughts th—

what if irulanne was from the same clan as m*erril but raised a city elf since she was found in that crypt

what if she’s from the al*erion on her moms side and a l*avellan on her dads

what if lhysas father (an assassin just like his daughter lhysaa <33) had allies in his days as an assassin a pariah of his family

what if he wasn’t the only one that was betrayed when a thing went topsy turvy (will be getting to how that went down eventually !!!!!)

what if lhysas father moved on from lúthien the mother of the inky and her brother (she sort of went *poof* for reasons of her own that golly i need to write all of this down jdnxgcg i mean tungle post is a good place to start dnbxgxg)

what if unbeknownst to irulanne her and lhys and feanorian are half sibs what if her mother gave birth to iru and hid her in the crypt what if they found her and thought her to not have magic at first so she was raised by the elder of the alienage. (her mother was likely to have passed on as well poor iru 🥀🥲)

what if they kept an eye anyway knowing the bloodline she hailed from (lonans line lhysa and feanorians line has a STORY if there ever was one i will yell about it soon prommy !!!!!) and low and behold none too long later her magic manifested what if they waited a while more until she built her network of little creatures she reanimated that relayed her things and gaggle of friends what if she had a kingdom of her own and she refused

what if she was thrown under a bloody ritual to wipe her memories so that all she knew was the sisters a sort of sect of necromancers within the mourners that had their own ideas and machinations and saw her as their heir of sorts??

what if it was like she was to be some sort of lich queen…thing(?) ruling the living and the dead from the necropolis and that it went topsy turvy (to irulannes benefit ubeknownst to her at the time!!) when the thing happened and that whole her having a mage heir to rule was merely a side thing that if it happened cool but the main goal was the lich queen thing.

what if feanorian was in the area for a reason or another (maybe i can think of that with emms episode !!) he’s looking for the rook on behalf of lhysa who has her ex to thwart/save and a demigod daughter to raise etc etc (things i am planning to yell about later oo there’s so much to yell about with lhysa but this is a iru lore essay <3)

what if the prodigy to gifted kid burnout between lucanne (heir to bloodline etc etc luca and child of nothing destined to inherit everything irulanne) made me insane <3

Evan and Greg are basically your oc's!, what is your interpretation of Micheal in the modern au. Also how does mike not see Evan as a person?

Also flashlight duo is super cute

Has Evan ever been bullied at school?

the ocification beam hit them too hard...

I view Michael in my flashlight duo universe as being like. not how a lot of people portray him. as in he doesnt lash out for a reason. he isnt acting that way towards Evan because William told him to.

it's for sure affected by William's own actions, but as in Michael subconsciously learned those things. he isn't even on William's side really. he sucks as a father to both of them. it's just that michael doesnt respect Evan enough to see him as someone who is supposed to be on his side

Michael subconsciously learned growing up that everything Evan is is bad. and the cool people his age see people like Evan as weak, so he does too.

he lacks any emotional maturity, so a lot of his actions towards Evan are out of his own boredom and resent. he genuinely thinks his reactions are funny. if he ever did realize what he did was wrong, he would have to actually realize. he knows fully that what he does hurts Evan. he just doesn't care. he hasn't developed the intuition he needs to care. you know?

and Michael is around 16 if evan is 12. it's not that hes too young to understand, it's the lack of good parenting, or literally parenting in general. if Evans life is hell because everyone around him hates him, then that means its true. it means the people in hurricane dont like people like Evan (a boy who at his age should be getting manlier, but isnt. sensitive and emotional and physically small and lanky. evan literally has anxiety and paranoia and is neurodivergent and people dont really acknowledge that but they notice. and they don't like it)

the people in their town suck and are mean and so is Michael's father. so of course hes going to stick to what hes been taught and to everybody else who also believes it and is on his side. he was never taught that what hes doing is wrong. hes a bad person but it's a product of horrible parenting and the worst town in the world

in contrast to Michael, in the neglect and bullying Evan has faced its made him kinder. he is the one facing it so he wants to be kind to others instead of being like the people he hates.

I dont want to say he would be more in tune with his emotions than Michael because he wouldn't be. before Gregory, he was so unstable and miserable he was just a big ball of anxiety and emotions. he didnt understand his emotions and have that country mile on Michael's own emotional maturity because he didnt have it in him to learn

and by that I mean he didnt even like himself enough to want to help himself. hed been taught that theres fundamentally something wrong with him that makes him bad and weird and not like anyone else who's impossible to 'fix'. and hed been hearing that since he was a young kid, so of course hed believe it.

but then Gregory comes alone and slowly tries to strip away what Evan had been taught just by being kind to him and repeating kind things. the opposite of what everyone else did.

and that is what makes Evan begin to change for the better. the first thing he learns is that Gregory doesn't think something is super wrong with him that makes him bad and stupid so he starts to believe it a little, too. he begins to see how maybe how hes being treated is unfair and its him seeing himself as worthy of kindness that makes him upset on his own behalf. and what that means is he has better self esteem when before he was so insecure he could never even defend himself a little bit

and its after he gains some respect for himself that he learns how to help himself. he actually thinks he deserves it now, so with his support system in Gregory and his family he learns how he works. he learns what his phobias are and what sets him off and how to calm himself down. and of course he hoped all the way through that changing could be what 'fixes' him and the people around him wouldnt hate him so much. but like I said before its that self respect that confirms it's for himself and not for others

of course that stuff doesnt go away, but he improves. the people around him do notice. they dont care enough to say anything, they're more just suprised or happy hes shutting up in that mean way of theirs. but I think after a while of Evan being comfortable with Gregory and improving himself he would one day just snap.

before, he had layers and layers of nervousness and fear and anxiety and insecurity stopping his very high emotions from boiling over. and with the newfound respect for himself comes the anger on his own behalf of how hes treated.

so i feel like one day he would just blow up with all the emotion without the insane amount of fear stopping him. and it doesnt help, not really.

before, evan wanted to please michael and his father. but now that he wants them to know how much he hates them and how much they hurt him, they are pleased.

he gained more respect but in the worst way. not the way he wanted.

but back to their relationship, I think post-all of this, evan wouldnt want anything to do with him. let's say Michael does have a wake up call when they're both older. hes already ruined his relationship so much its unsalvageable. he caused evan to develop fundamental issues rooted deep (anxiety and paranoia, general things he learned about the world and certain people/groups and traits that he'll have to remind himself arent true) inside of him.

his family had their chance and they blew it hard. evan is definitely in the right to want nothing to do with him or William and to continue growing up and living and laughing with his actual family in his heart. they never get to make it official, but that doesn't matter.

anyway I went on like. a lot lol. for anyone who havent read my oneshot series this is based completely off of that au of mine and in my mind is canon to every oneshot if you do read them. thanks for enabling me to talk about flashlight duo lol you can tell I put so much thought into them every day its crazy

edit: to answer your actual questions lol: it's not that Michael literally doesn't see Evan as a human person, it's that he doesnt respect him enough to treat him with human respect. you know? everything evan is he has been taught is bad and worthless so that's what he thinks. so by extension evan is too

and yeah evan does get bullied at school. I always imagined it was less bullies pushing him into lockers and stealing his lunch money (Williams ass does not give him lunch money let's be real) and more that they just treat him awful. hes either invisible or in the way and then they dont care to be super rude to him. they dont just spout their exact thought process out but they all think of him badly and view him as a big joke. its less blatant meanness and more just treating him awful in general and that's what makes Evan think its normal and that hes asking for it when its not.

I know when a ship is MY ship when I phisically can not take any angst about it without getting AT LEAST the exact same amount of fluff afterwards.

For example: Whenever I read creek fanfiction and It has the angst tag on it I NEED to check for a hurt/comfort tag AND assure it is between them. My ass is NOT reading anything without them having a somehow happy ending. I would kill myself.

Style on the other hand?? Oh yeah Stan spends almost half his life unrequitedly in love w Kyle until he accepts it won't ever happen and gives it up, distancing himself from Kyle to help himself forget about him. Except that it's not really unrequited, and Kyle finds out about his own 10 ten year old and still growing crush on his best friend when said best friend isn't around anymore. It's too late now, so he just lets the growing apart thing go it's course and hope that maybe, one day, he'll forget about Stan. They never get to know it could've been possible. oooh I'm 100% eating that shit UP

When you ship both ichiruki and ichihime but both the fandoms despise each other... lol life as a multishipper is tough

I know I've been complaining about this a lot recently and I'm sorry about that, but it's become really frustrating for this to happen when I'm... not even reading a fic about Anakin. Like sure whatever you don't like him but the kinds of things I see people have characters say... Congrats! You hate Anakin more than you like these side characters you seem to only have included to have them shit talk Anakin (and often woobify Obi-Wan). At this point you are being more insulting to those characters than to Anakin himself.

fnaftok discussing about the fnaf movie and their expectations is making me cringe so bad rn

i think one of the best and my most favorite things about sans is that no matter what his intentions are hes always undeniably a liiiiiiittle bit of a creep about it. just an itsy bitsy teensy tiny smidge of stalker. when we first met, and he didnt trust me, hed follow me around to keep an eye on me or whatever. when we were friends, and he wanted to spend time with me, hed follow me around and just conveniently insert himself into places i went so we could hang out. like just, randomly appearing at places he knew id be. then when he was sooooo in love with me it hurt he was like. "i have to stare at them so much and so often it hurts. or ill die actually". its really great that hes always been just a little bit of a creep <33
