Dean should have been the new new Bobby… I’ll kill myself

#also running at auto shop/junkyard like… the cover is already built in #but I mean he is constantly being shown taking care of kids and clicking with them even if he claims Sam is better at talking..#I think he is way too fucked up to intentionally father a child let alone find someone to want to do that with..#but I do think he would take in kids who have lost people… Hunter next gen… the boys home episode is so fucking sad..#he is The Caretaker even when he tries to avoid it… teaches..#how to drive… how to shoot.. how to play poker and win..#Garth semi retires anyway… though I love Garth…#I’m not even at the finale but getting so mad about it #I get if he didn’t make it to his 80s but at least 50s… maybe… i just want him to know his nephew even for a moment..#again… I don’t think he would father kids but I think they’d be named after Bobby and Charlie if were following Harry Potter rules…#dean winchester #supernatural

actually it's kind of funny how people will say Alex's fatal flaw is that he 'doesn't ask for help' and that it's his determination to handle things on his own that leads to his deterioration and eventual death when his whole introduction to the present-day timeline was a very literal cry for help that simply went ignored

#N posts stuff #like even if you think alex was lying throughout the entirety of season 2 and he was waiting from the Moment jay showed up #JUST to kill him (Which again i don't think makes much sense when he could have killed Tim & Jay immediately instead of #breaking Tim's leg. anyway) EVEN IF alex spent that whole time lying it doesn't actually change the fact that he would have at least #been Pretending to Ask For Help and if he wasn't lying then he was Literally Asking For Help and it doesn't Actually matter #what intention Alex had because the text is Ambiguous about Alex's honesty during season two; what isn't ambiguous is the way #other characters (specifically Jay) respond to him; like yeah - S2 Brian/Tim were never in one million years going to help Alex with shit #so sort of any argument that brings up Tim as someone who asks for/offers help is borderline meaningless in this era of the series #Jay had the 'opportunity' to help Alex (and i'll get back to that in a sec) but DIDN'T - Jay wasn't Interested in actually offering Alex #'help' bc Jay is ultimately curious about Answers and 'Offering Help' and 'Getting Answers' are two Wildly conflicting goals #Jay thinks Alex has answers and when Alex doesn't Offer these 'Answers' to Jay on a silver platter Jay gets pissed off and paranoid #and starts Stalking Alex bc he thinks it's 'Suspicious' that Alex won't give him the Answers (that Alex probably doesn't Actually have)#ANYWAY. ultimately this post is about how it's absurd when people argue #that individual character choices could have made a difference in the way this series played out - specifically wrt Alex #because EVERYONE in this WHOLE series are being affected by influences outside of their control ; including Brian Tim and Jay #so it's silly when people are like 'if ALEX had just made a different choice For Himself this could have all been avoided' WRONG.#bc Ultimately there's not really a way to 'help' someone else out of this situation - Tim tried and failed Repeatedly #the comics proved he even failed with Jessica - like MH isn't a horror situation where you can kill the big bad #'getting help' is a meaningless argument - what would successfully helping or getting help even look like? anyway.#the sub argument of this post is that Alex's biggest 'sin' is that he doesn't perform emotions the way other people want him to #like Alex is a character with a kind of flat affect - instead of LOOKING scared or grieved he LOOKS bored or angry #and everyone judges him based on that - so Alex is 'Suspicious' he's 'Lying' he's 'Guilty' but all of these deductions are predicated #on the belief that Alex isn't reacting to his circumstances the way a 'Normal' person would - so it MUST all be an act and so he's guilty #so everyone treats him like he's guilty until the end of season two when he's like 'Fuck it FINE i'll be guilty then' and so it goes #not a self-fulfilled prophecy but being Cornered Into a prophecy and then Blamed for it - SAD. anyway

It's still just a sketch (admittedly a very detailed one), and it's also technically spoilers, but here's some art related to the TFP/Skulduggery Pleasant AU Fic I've been working on. I really like it when fictional characters come with themes that can be easily turned into visual symbolism of their tragic flaws.

[Image ID: A digital sketch of a person with long hair running with a scythe in their hands, wearing a tailcoat. Their other arm halfway covers their face, mimicking "The Fallen Angel" by Alexandre Cabanel. They're also wearing boots. The background is the front half of a huge great pyrenees dog leaping with the person, teeth bared and covered in blood. The dog has an anti-wolf collar on their neck that is covered in blood from presumably wolves. / End ID]

#fanart #skulduggery pleasant #digital art #tw blood #tw animal injury #I'll post a link to the actual fic after a few more chapters... gotta get more courage and also make sure some of the key characters are in #I tried to make the dog look kind of sad and tired #same with the guy himself #eagle eyed viewers may notice the vitakinetic energy from his side!#and to avoid further spoiling anything this is all I will say

just experimenting

#my art #my ocs #mind wolf #furry #sfw furry #based on these drawings i used to do in 2015 or so....#i know ive been complaining about it for a while now but ive been having a rough time with art this year #im genuinely my worst critic #so i tried making something without caring about the little details... and as it turns out #you can really enjoy your art when youre not picking out every little detail or thing wrong with it #anyways im probably not gonna post much art anymore. im not leaving or anything just gonna be less active probably #i realized that posting my art makes me dislike it a lot more so im trying to avoid that right now...#because when i really dont like my art then i lose my drive to create anything and its really sad

thinking about ghouls good night 💗

#did i ever tell you that i thought out a whole story about aether #where he was crushing on a clergy member and was super shy but also really excited about it #but when he put off his mask his crush was terrified of him bc he looks much scarier than he is #and since then he never takes his mask off tries to make himself smaller and speaks in a softer voice #he later also found out his crush was basically just hanging out with him bc of the ghouls rank in the clergy #he avoids the other humans now except copia #have I mentioned i like to make myself sas #sad

came up with an aaaawful idea for what could happen in trial three! ♡

" haruka? "

es, who is about to go question haruka, cannot find him in his room! or cell. whatever

eventually they start asking the other prisoners and apparently shidous taking care of him cause he NEARLY DIED !!!!!

so he like explains what happened and es is like oh my god i didnt think hed actually do it ??????crap

since obviously they cant question him they just end the reeeally short voice drama

" sakurai haruka, sing your sins "

the song starts yk its a normal haruka song

but then at some point it ends abruptly [ haruka dies ]

#idk what order after that shidou and mahiru die cause realistically shidou wouldnt want to #die when mahiru still has her injuries yk cause since hes the only doctor there BUT itd sure make a good path to lead to mahiru dying #but either way im so sure he wouldnt take haruka dying well at All in this scenario so he Could die first but if he doesnt then he probably #either tries harder to keep mahiru alive which does seem likely he could overwork himself in the process and end up dying somehow idk #and then mahiru dies cause of that[ so i guess hed die first there too ]#or maybe he feels responsible for harukas death so he feels bad and cant rly help mahiru much #so she dies first and thats like The Last Straw or whatever. not sure what would happen #sorry i was mostly focusing on the part abt haruka cause hes one of my favourites and probably the one im most sad about #i didnt mean for the part in the tags to be that long i wrote this in my notes app originally and since it was mostly originally about #haruka i figured id just put the rest in the tags #terrible decision i guess #milgram #sorry guys i dont want them to die but theres no avoiding it atp is there...........💔#ALSO THE . im pretty sure in the t1 and t2 voice dramas es when says like “ sing your sins ” or whatever they refer to the prisoners by #their numbers im pretty sure but i like the idea of theyre becoming closer to the prisoners so it was very purposeful that i made them say #his name instead of prisoner 001 or whatever. in conclusion no matter what happens in trial three ill surely cry #thank you for reading.

Not gonna lie, this whole "ALL Western lesbian representayshun is bad, Thai GLs are the only thing worth watching" disk horse that's been coming out is starting to feel... kinda bandwagon-y in a way that makes me a bit uncomfy on behalf of Thailand. I mean don't get me wrong, it's unquestionably true that a lot of English-language lesbian representation is not good. I just saw a tweet that listed like 5 US shows as "the only f/f wins" in the history of Western media and I'm like bruh???? To this day, my favourite f/f storyline is still Flor and Jazmín from Las Estrellas, an Argentine telenovela. That was IMO a masterclass in how to write a GOOD slow burn between 2 women avoiding every single one of the damaging cliches, with no men in the middle or dead lesbians. Argentina in general has some great lesbian representation. The YT algorithm also recently put me in touch with a storyline from a Colombian show from a couple of years ago. The writing was pretty rudimentary but, overall, no damaging clichés or dead lesbians. There is also the ship from that Mexican show that people never seem to get over. And while Spanish shows have a LOT to atone for all the atrocities they've pulled in their period dramas, they do OK with their modern-day stuff. I can vouch for 2 different shows, at least.

So yeah, while Thai shows are certainly pioneers in terms of quantity and centering an entire show on the love story between 2 women (in Western media that's only true of MSH2 because FirstKill got cancelled (but hey, that refutes the melodramatic "Netflix hates lesbians!!11!1" that also drives me nuts)), and there are bunch of things that I have yet to see in Western f/f storylines wrt tropes or the tone of the romances, saying categorically that ALL Western lesbian representation is bad is an inaccurate generalization and evidences a clearly US-centric perspective, and it's disrespectful to non-English, non-US shows that have really earned the right to be referenced as examples of what good f/f storylines should aspire to. But oh well, what can you expect from fandom.

#don't get me wrong I'm all for migrating to all thai all the time #but like bruh... know your history etc #there's no need to put down good stories just to make your point #maybe it's just me doing thai gl wrong bc as hard as I've tried I still haven't been able to go absolutely nuts for a show/pairing #(minus the one that ruined my life that isn't even a real pairing el oh el)#the way I went absolutely nuts for flor/jazmín #so maybe I am able to look at this objectively without my opinion being coloured by my infatuation #that said I'll give you that it's probably easier and more stress-free to watch a thai show #bc you know going in it's not gonna slap you in the face and it's safe in terms of avoiding the trauma of dead lesbians/cancellations #but it's looking more and more that the problem is not with western media in general but with us shows #and the fact that the people spouting this argument (that I've seen) are not even from the us is kinda hilarious (in a sad sort of way)#text post

If there is at least one thing I can credit FE for doing better than Tales in localization, it's not trying to actively go out of their way for an entire game to avoid subtext or direct text between two men that is romantic or implied romantic. Funny when it's so present that the attempt doesn't even work; infuriating that it was attempted to begin with.

So as much as I often have issues with some of FE's localizations, at least they have a leg up on loc Tales for that.

#DCB Comments #imagine changing entire sentences and vocal tones just to try to avoid it #if anything I'd say at least in FE the locs just... keep what's there like #they could've toned Soren and Houses Yuri down and they didn't. they just kept their lines or in some cases #especially with Houses Yuri I'd say leaned into them #have to specify bc Houses Yuri got to keep his bi agenda. Vesperia Yuri had the unfortunate issue of #the loc not wanting to keep his gay and trying reeeeally hard to avoid it #including altering entire sentences to avoid any woe is them misunderstandings about men having feelings for each other #meanwhile Houses Yuri is free to call men cute and lo and behold everyone loved that for him #they removed and altered a LOT of Vesperia Yuri's personality traits #(including any ability to express real sadness or fear bc woe is them if he's not a cool edgy man)#but they also really changed his tone toward Flynn PLUS some of what they say to each other #and twisted it to make it sound like Yuri was either angry or wasn't actually emotional abt him #forget the way they brought Grant George in for the DE release and made him sound just completely DEAD with zero personality #like. I can tolerate playing Houses dubbed despite my gripes with it (story based stuff)#it didn't feel like they were trying to alter LBGT+ aspects and they even for some rly leaned into it #basically if you haven't played Vesperia Yuri is... really gay coded. the loc pretended not to notice #in fact he's queer + gay coded bc and doesn't fit male gender norms and the gacha games LOVE that with his hair/outfits #Rays mind you is JP only bc it was shut down very quickly in the west and Vesp Yuri's story in Rays is uh #basically it centers around Flynn he loses his shit to protect Flynn and they do the usual like #don't-admit-it's-gay-outright in fictional media by using the ''Yuri's important person'' shtick #but he activates a special power in the middle of utterly raging to get Flynn back from their enemies #funny thing? that game never made it to that arc. I was told in about five months the western ver would've gotten that #but in some way I'm glad it didn't bc who knows how they would've tried to spin that #It's BAFFLING to me how you can get characters in Tales like JAY but the locs shake in their boots at the idea of queer gays #but given how allergic fictional media is to admitting a male character is gay -gestures to Ike and Vesp Yuri-#I'm not surprised I'm just actually angry that the locs try to censor homosexual relationships as much as possible even when they barely ca #if anyone does know Vesp Yuri and is confused on why I'm calling him gay coded despite what the dub did with Judith feel free to ask #bc I do ship them a little bit myself! but I just recognize that canon wise I really can't see him as anything but gay-demiromantic #but again at least FE locs don't shake in their boots anymore abt same sex pairs including men (side eyes Lucius/Raven)

in the ludger ending i think ludger either has a full depressive spiral the party need to actively pull him out of until he's functional enough to be ceo or he just puts all his energy into being ceo of spirius and ghosts the entire fucking party for it because if he has to see all of them living their lives while he's haunted by elle and julius' sacrifices he is going to lose it

#v #x2 #loneliest end #and it's like a horrible way of thinking and i think ludger would be aware of that because he doesn't want to feel resentment for the party #because all he knows about victor is that his desire to protect elle resulted in killing everyone else #and ludger tries to think about elle because if he thinks about julius he's going to think about the brief brief brief moment #where he thought he could just kill everyone instead of letting julius die #and he can't delude himself into some 'what if' solution where he can save both julius and elle #it's easier to believe julius. who told him to save elle. who clearly wanted them both happy #than it is to believe elle who wanted ludger safe and wanted him to meet prime elle #except ludger cannot face lara. he knows when elle was born and knows he has to meet lara soon but he just can't #maybe it will make him happy the way it did for victor. maybe they are more of the same. but right now he's just thinking it's not elle #his daughter will never be elle in the same way his partner is elle #and he'd just rather actively avoid anyone he knows than stay in contact and watch them tiptoe around him whenever he's there #(and of course because ludger is avoiding them they never quite get back into being friends...)#im sad now :( this fic is gonna suck

I’ve always found it funny (by which I mean extremely saddening) how there’s a certain group of people that’s always like “omg I support freaks!! You’ve got to be weird as possible!!!” But then if you have a certain brand of ‘weird’ that they find offputting or annoying they want to kill you with hammers

#still slightly annoyed over the irl queer meetup I went to a while ago #where I tried to make friends but everyone gave me weird looks and avoided me like the plague #I have to think there’s just something deeply wrong with me #where normies can’t stand me but other queer ppl can’t stand me either #idkkkk #I didn’t mean for this to get sad oops #just me things #text post

Never before has something managed to grab my heartstrings and fucking snap them from the sheer force of their pull until this series

#Cricket chirping #Trigun #GENUINELY CRIED OVER BOTH OF WOLFWOOD'S DEATHS #I sat in stunned silence after watching ep 24 of the 98 anime and couldn't make myself keep watching for the rest of the night #I never get this emotional over an entire series. I'll be sad about certain characters or be emotional abt certain aspects of other things #But never has the story alone been enough to make me unlock New Emotions like Trigun has #The angel arm. The plants clearly trying to scream as they're run to their last breaths. Vash finally being forced to go against his morals #as he screams at every conflicting thought #Watching Vash get broken because no matter how hard he tries he cannot avoid putting people in danger

i wish i could just enjoy group chats. im too scared to talk in them & when i do talk i delete things or just leave. i feel like it's better if i was never there. but then i crave interaction with others. so i join again and the cycle repeats. even if i was told my company and presence is appreciated i think it's all a lie and i delete things or leave either way. it's incredibly frustrating. i have joined group chats and not checked it at all to avoid those bad habits but it makes attempts at communication hard. and i delete things or leave. i hate that i always do this. "don't delete anything. don't leave" ive tried, genuinely. i hate always thinking im hated by everyone. i hate always perceiving everything as anger or annoyance towards me. even just one on one conversations i feel this way. im genuinely trying. i can't

#vent #social interaction is hard #i have these moments every so often where talking to others feels really difficult or nobody wants to talk to me. so i just stay silent but #- desire social interaction so badly. and it just makes me so indescribably depressed and lonely. i feel like i cant complain because i am #- doing this to myself by not talking to others. but how do i when i feel hated by literally everyone on the face of this earth? i dont -#- think im trying as hard as i believe i am. i have tried just not caring and talking anyways but it always cycles back to isolation. -#- for some reason lately it feels a lot harder to talk to people to the point of avoidance. i dont even like seeing people together -#- anymore when im out of the house. im just really jealous of others relationships i guess. i really dont want to leave my home -#- anymore or talk to people or make new friends or anything. of course im not committed to doing that because ive tried to cut -#- contact with everybody before but i end up feeling sad and lonely but especially guilty. but ive been thinking about it a lot.

the way my heart sank . lol

#tried to get on a call to study w my gf bc weve both been avoiding stuff we Have to do and its been making us anxious #but esp her bc shes been in this cycle for a while and shes struggling w it a lot . and i love her and i want the best for her #and all my friends r like u should push each other to do better even if its uncomfortable somewhat and i agree #so we were like. yh lets do stuff / get on our work tmrw even tho its anxiety-inducing etc...and then we got on a call #and this is the most like. bored/displeased ive ever heard her sound like she seemed extremely disinterested and even mildly irritated #and it honestly shocked me ??? so i ended the call bc i need to do work and it was making me sad #and im trying to listen to words more than tone but it was so extreme and such a sudden change that it literally wasnt good for me . im so #confused rn . like ik facing tasks youve been avoiding for months causes anxiety ik theres like a mental block around it that makes u not #want to deal w it or become irritated at ppl who suggest that you should #but omg?? it was so weird and like. when i said she was making me sad so i wanted to end the call she was like. ok 😐#which is a fair response ig but shes never responded to me that way b4...like what is this what is happening...#i want smn who encourages me to move forward and who appreciated that i want them to do the same #instead of staying stagnant and anxious for months. i talked abt this before on here and everyone collectively was like Be More Patient and #work through it w her etc etc (my friends said the exact opposite tho) and i have been Trying To but its making me feel actively . bad.#like. im Afraid.#to bring it up . and then when i finally did say yh lets do smth lets get thru this tgth she just shut down on me somehow #idk what else i can do #i will talk to her abt it later i just need to work rn. i had to get this out of my system first.#shes so sweet and wonderful and supportive usually. but when it comes to thsi topic. im rly shocked idk #i knew she felt bad abt it but i thought she agreed to move through it w me and i didnt expect her to direct it at me #like whatever i said shed give me the coldest ok 😐. like. again nothing inherently wrong w that but when contrasted w #the way she talks to me usually there IS smth wrong it . its jarring and uncomfortable and made me rly upset bc it felt like she was mad at #me for trying to help . idk #UGH whatever ill talk 2 her later i have to do this lecture itll help distract me

why can’t this week just end alreadyyyyyyy

#rant about the week incomin’ in the tags bc ‘complaining’ is my unofficial middle name #this week has *not* been my week so far and it’s only wednesday morning #my horrible week commenced on sunday night when i was unable to sleep bc my pillow was oriented wrong #thus i had a grand total of 1 hour of sleep which was not very poggers tbh. so i tried to sleep on the train but…#the guy next to me??? kept swaying to lean on my shoulder??? so i hunched over to avoid physical contact but he just landed on my back??#so that sucked balls. i kept having to wake up to push him away with my bag and then trying to go back to sleep.#but then!!! just as i fell asleep after one such instance!!! the guy’s phone alarm went off????? like?? why???? why would you set an alarm??#we’re on a friggin train mannnnn!!!!! why did you have to set an alarm?????????????#and ofc when the dude finally alighted (and i was asleep) he just *had* to jab me in the side with his elbow when he got up. ಠ_ಠ #so that’s how i knew the rest of the week was gonna be just ✨peachy✨#anyways manning 2 workstations (+ 1 bonus ‘mini’ workstation) on 1h of sleep isn’t very fun. esp if you’re incompetent af like me #and ofc there just had to be problems too. like the printers couldn’t print (and the systems crashed everytime i tried to print something)#and this sample running software kept closing itself in the middle of running samples so that was a pain to deal with #and tuesday (yesterday) wasn’t much better. in fact it was ✨worse✨. none of the 2 workstations could get started till like 10am and aaaaaa—#to make matters worse i had stubbed my toe so badly in the morning that my skin tore. so walking was ✨much pain✨ as well :(#and ofc yesterday had to be the one day where i had to walk back and forth an unnecessarily high number of times >:( sadded #and ofc they *had* to have an hour-long meeting about something or other towards the end of the workday when i had yet to eat my lunch >:(#(fell asleep during the meeting though bc it was boring as balls whoops)#and i could only take a half-hour break after that >:((( i wanted my full hour dammitttttttt #and ofc it was raining when i left and ofc it took like 25 mins for me to hail a taxi on this booking app bc i didn’t want to take the train #and ofccccc i misheard the taxi driver when he arrived and he roasted my chinese speaking skills. and ofcccc we were caught in a traffic jam #(i had a really nice hour long nap in the cab though so thanks traffic jam)#and thus ended my terrible 2 past weekdays. i’m drained af and it’s *only* wednesday morning????!!!!!!!!!!!!!#i’m mentally looping anzu no uta (imascg) to cope. ‘nu-uh i don’t wanna work’ so true anzu #i just wanna sleeeeeeep and wake up this weekend or sth idk it’s too early in the year for this #it is suiyoubi my dudes #may spam self-rb my monster-length character image/gif posts later to cope. you have been warned

i like the owl house a good bit but i wish they'd take raine out of nonbinary gay baby jail

#please you have like one nonbinary character of significance #theyve spent a massive amount of their screentime either under mind control or pretending to be under mind control #and i want to get to know them better bc they seem very cool #i am tantalus and raine is the fruit i cannot reach and the water that dodges me when i wanna take a little sippy #im not mad at the showrunners or anything and i appreciate raine's presence #theyre clever and charming and A LOVE INTEREST (which i dont think ive ever seen???)#(between raine and masha the stance seems to be that nb people are desirable and cool and theyre so right for it)#and i think toh avoids the inhuman enby trope (in that there is human rep...ish... and most of the characters are inhuman)#idk they get a pass from me at least #but much like spop's double trouble theyre not really allowed to be themself for an unusually large amount of their screentime #though at least dt had like. constant 'teehee im so evil' one liners punctuating their girlmoding era #yeah dt falls into a lotta iffy nb tropes. i also don't blame the spop staff for that #i dont love making my point via comparison but these are literally the only two animated nb characters i can think of #bawling punching the earth about lake infinity train not being canonically nb but also being the most significant genderqueer rep for me #other than like. goromi. theyre tied <3 #anyway my point with this post is not 'i think toh staff shouldve just tried harder or i hate them or whatever'#but more 'i am sad that our rep is still so limited even as they are pioneering and i wish raine had more screentime bc i like them'#and also 'if i had a nickel' about the limited agency/performative elements of the 2 nb characters ever #and also having your only trans characters playing the long con has like. implications a bit #but yeah #also im p sure spop had twitter confirmations of other characters being genderqueer but i dont tend to count postcanon much bc like.#it's not in there lol #anyway shows i think of as generally v progressive but that still don't escape nb tropes and limitations #you know what's better than one they/them'd character? two they/them'd characters #one day we're gonna get characters with multiple sets of pronouns and i can die happy #dt doesnt count for this bc the characters who know theyre not flutterina use they/them even when they're in flutterina mode.#twas a bit and nothing more #anyway belos is yucky disgusting and i hope raine gets exorcised soon
