#i'd treat her right

I finally watched Ponyo yesterday. I was thirsting for Lisa from the moment she showed up. 1 second on screen, and I said, "People talk a big game for Pixar moms. But Ghibli moms? Forget about it."

Something which I think is kind of under-discussed regarding the Princess is how lonely she is, esp in contrast to you (the player). From the start of the game, you're never alone. You've got the Narrator - despite how questionable his company is - and the Voice of the Hero, then slowly all of your other voices. She doesn't have that. We see in Princess and the Dragon, every time a new loop starts she's completely alone with only the thought that this is what she deserves. You're the only thing she has.

Shifty asks "Why wouldn't I be kind to you? You're the only thing I know which isn't me." And we see in the game - with some exceptions, like the Witch - the Princess' goal come chapter 2 is always to have your company. Sometimes it's to subjugate you, like the Tower, and sometimes it's for help escaping, but she's almost always seeking your companionship in some way.

But you've got your voices, and the Narrator. You never really needed her, did you? I'm thinking about PATD again, where you can spend the whole chapter bonding with her only to immediately turn on her the second you get your body back ("Good to be back, boys"). In the final cabin at the end of the game, the Heart Princess can mention the whole conflict boils down to whether Shifty (and by extension, the Princess herself) "should" get to exist. If you kill the Heart Princess, you've still got your voices. There's no ending where she lives on alone. I don't think she'd even WANT an ending like that.

She just makes me very sad. You're the only thing she knows, and in some routes you're just. Relentlessly cruel to her.

If Three met Ten he would take one look at this weasel looking suit and converse wearing mf disrespecting Martha and pathetically crying over the Master and have him dead in a ditch by the end of the day.

it's kind of like insanely isolating that literally every aspec or "ace & aro" space I've found has been in actuality, solely for aces. perhaps arospec aces or aroaces who entirely prioritize their asexuality could also find company there, but even as an aromantic person who is also asexual, they're really not intended for me. so I can only imagine how isolating it must be if you're aromantic and allosexual

i love having to pretend to hate myself. i love not being able to tell people to stop talking about me like that. i love people telling me to my face what awful things they wish would happen to me. i love sitting here and typing out my own brutal deaths because i can't tell anyone who i am. i love having to pretend because everyone sees me as subhuman. /sarc

i don't see us getting further information about bucktommy's relationship in 7x10 (like calling each other boyfriends or haphazardly breaking up) simply because i don't think they know what they want to do in season 8 yet. they tested the waters with tommy's first four episodes and brought him back for the last two episodes to establish his presence a bit more but why would they write themselves into a corner with no farsight yet when they could instead leave it at this ambiguously good place which gives them more creative room for s8?

this way they could direct that storyline any way they want depending on what they wanna explore with it - maybe they'll wanna pick it up from the dating stage or it could be that they're established boyfriends once they come back. they could go with tommy being buck's big love or that despite buck wanting to exploring this with tommy it not working out etc. i think they have a lot of more things to consider with buck's romantic arc now, not to mention for how much and how long lou can commit to the show, that they'll want to take their time figuring that all out.

Berenice’s spectre is the hottest yet simultaneously the least fuckable spectre out of the whole series

(Teeth everywhere, no hands, can’t close mouth all the way so kissing would be uncomfortable)

This sounds like a skill issue, anon.

Is this fanfic friendly? I feel like an outlier.

I guess this is my sign it's time to throw together a FAQ post to link to lol.

Yes, every event for this blog is fanfic friendly :D

Though as I mentioned on my Ominous October post, for events that include multiple short stories, I encourage everyone to flex their creativity and take one of their planned short story fanfics, and at least *attempt* to turn one of them into something entirely original; rebuilding a character and story from the ground up to stand on its own two legs is no easy feat, and that is what makes it so fun!

It really gets your creative gears turning, to make an "au of an existing material" to be something entirely original, and you can be pleasantly surprised about the things you come up with!

As a few people say, its not just a matter of "filing the serial numbers off" -- you have to add in just as much *or more* as what you take out when you are turning a fanfiction into something that is original and completely divorced from its original source material / inspiration, and that is a hard, but very rewarding challenge!

Obviously, this is not a requirement (there's no hard requirements for any of the challenges, other than no cheating, including no using AI),

but if you would like an extra challenge for the short story events and you're planning on doing entirely fan-fiction, I highly recommend trying it out at least once, and seeing where it leads you--

you may find yourself pleasantly surprised by what you find down that rabbit hole!

No you don't understand, Anne and Marcy third-wheeling Sasha during the dinner episode (and Sasha third-wheeling herself during battle of the bands) is so important to me. Anne and Marcy have come so far having left Sasha behind. They're happy and confident and strong and closer than ever, all because they were finally free. Because Sasha wasn't there to stunt their growth. Despite how much they love Sasha and how much they don't want to admit the distance helped them, it's true: Anne and Marcy were both victims of a toxic friend and they're learning to move on together. Ik it sounds like I hate Sasha because whenever I write about her I make her out to be a massive piece of shit but that's because... she kinda was! And I love her for that! I love these three, I love their story and their drama and toxicity (I was soooo happy when it was revealed Marcy wasn't as great as she initially seemed like - yes! The CONFLICT is CONFLICTING). Like yes marcanne is my obsession, I have marcanne brain worms, but I think one of the reasons marcanne works so well is because of Sasha. Their past, present and future with her have such a huge impact in Anne and Marcy's relationship with each other and with themselves. You can't separate these three and I love it, how easy it is to ship two of them without making it weird by leaving the third one behind (ironically, Sasha the Character is included by leaving Sasha the Person behind).

Marcanne to me is about two childhood friends living in a toxic situation healing together after leaving, only able to fall in love now that they are free and more comfortable with themselves and each other. They couldn't fully connect with each other before - not really. Anne didn't see the importance of listening to what Marcy had to say nor did she take it too seriously, and Marcy was simply not in contact with real people in the real world at all. None of this was Sasha's fault entirely, but she did third-wheel Marcy and she was possesive with Anne and was just a generally terrible influence on her, while reminding Marcy that, well, she didn't really matter all that much to anyone. Removing Sasha from the equation is not enough but it's a necessary step towards knowing each other better and the fact that they so easily became closer than ever just shows their eagerness to be together for real this time. Marcy's increased confidence and Anne's newfound empathy and admiration for her friend wouldn't have been possible with Sasha's domineering influence present. If they were to fall in love, it'd be because Sasha wasn't there to stop it.

I imagine that, once she finds out, she'd be furious, but mostly just devastated. Her friends only found love once she was gone. As if they think they'll be better off without her.

Ooo a needy lee huh?? How effective is each tool on her feet from 1-100? Since you ARE exposing her after all

She hid her face in a pillow saying "oh my goddddd" and screaming right after. Face all flushed and everything, it's cute as hell.

Paintbrush - A good solid... I'd say 65, 70. Good for getting between her lil toes, under them and just trailing them up and down her feet, it's real fun watching her scrunch em up and try and kick the paintbrush away.

Makeup brush - Good for a startup, or for some lighter tickles to help her calm down from being wrecked. Maybe, 45? 50 if you trail it along the bridge of her foot.

Toothbrush - A fan of once again, getting right under her toes. Not quite as good as a hairbrush, have to be a 60?

Hairbrush - She loses her damn mind with this one, her absolute favourite, if it's not a 100 I don't know what is

Spiky rubber roller (idk it's name) - Once again good for warm up, has her giggling her head off and practically relaxing in my arms. Ain't anything quite like a little lee who's just putty in your hands. I'd say maybe a 40?

Feather - Top tier for soft tickles. 55-60, plus dragging the tip from her heel to her toes, then dragging the feathery side through her toes? Absolutely amazing.

Nails - Personal favourite of mine, namely cause I like having my nails done ironically enough. Even just wiggling them at her has her giggling already, so easy 75 minimum!! Can get into all the little crevices and wrinkles and folds of her skin, light and ghosting them over her feet, or raking them from top to bottom, it makes her scream.

Pen - Lil secret, my angel loves it when I draw on her feet, can't sit still long enough though which really sucks. I just wanna do some lil doodles yknow? Draw some cute things like suns and rabbits and maybe even write words down on them before making her try and guess what I wrote. Another nice 50

Loofah - Only really effective with oil or water, without it I'd say maybe 20 or 30? She's a walking tickle spot so everything is ticklish to her. With oil or a lotion, it bumps all the others up a solid 10, and a loofah comes up to a sweet 60

man. even after spending a month bracing myself for it, and making sure I was well-informed and prepared to stand my ground if my hunch turned out to be correct, it sure didn't feel great getting confirmation that my mom has been uncritically guzzling all kinds of pro-zionist propaganda like water and has made herself nigh impervious to any and all factual information 💀💀💀
