trying to figure out how to say this delicately. i do think that the pwhl is going to make some progress, and already the support for the league is showing how much of a market there is for women's sports even from a few years ago. but it's kind of been irking me to see so many posts that act like there has never been any arena for women's pro hockey before. like do you understand how many people — how many leagues!! — came before this to even make the pwhl a possibility. do you know how many people have fought tooth and nail for women's pro hockey for DECADES. i'm not saying don't support the league, but don't act like it's the perfect solution to a brand new issue
#idk i'm just thinking#how quickly people forget the outrage and devastation of the entirety of the phf being blindsided by the acquisition/merger#contracts erased. careers ended. lives uprooted.#yes women players are getting more money and more visibility! that's great!#but i can't support it wholeheartedly#i will support it because they've ensured it's the only option there is but it still feels kind of bad man#saw a post earlier that was like 'starting today. young girls will realize there's a future for them in pro hockey'#that's great! but it's not starting today!#it started with all the groundwork that's been happening for years and years and years#hockey#pwhl#phf

I have decided to extend hiatus and there will not be any deliveries or handouts of any kind at this time.
I have no idea when I'll reopen. I am so sorry. There's just so much to think about at the moment and I need a break.
#i feel very blindsided i suppose#this café was never just about the ship#it is always about community first and foremost#but i'm very hurt and in shock#it is getting in the way of the joy needed for this space and right now all i feel is pain#i hope everyone can understand my feelings#i do love you all dearly and appreciate the support#maybe one day the joy and inspiration will return

WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY. WHAT WAS HE GOING TO SAY! WHAT WAS HE-
Sun Wukong: "Kid—new armor isn't going to cut it! We have to hit Azure with everything we've got! You can't just, ignore this whole part of your power because it scares you!"
MK: "I-"
-
LITERALLY WHAT. WHAT WAS IT. MK HONEY SWEETIE DARLING WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO TELL WUKONG HERE
#look at MK's FACE#HE IS SO DISTRAUGHT#Scenes I lay awake thinking about#Like we all know Wukong encouraging MK to use his monkey form is going to bite them in the ass#But HOW#Like SWK knows whatever the fuck MK is but MK knows something about his Monkey Form that we (including SWK) don't#''Well alright then.'' terrible. terrible. ''Oh—there's nothing mindless about me friend!'' TERRIBLE.#Hm guess I'm just having another breakdown about the special.#the light is no mystery#<- new Wukong an MK tag I wanna be emo#anyways#imp tag#lmk#lego monkie kid#monkie kid#lmk MK#Hello I am re-remembering Wukong's absolute faith in MK and how this is both a virtue and a vice#(aka oops if MK loses control SWK will be completely blindsided by it)#I am also remembering how MK's undying loyalty to SWK is also both a virtue and a vice!#(Aka if MK learns SWK did anything he can't justify that will shatter him)#These two would basically do anything for each other—but in like the fucked up way! So: haha we are in danger

I've always felt that it'd be Killua who initiates the first hug we see between him and Gon
#i have my reasons for this#i feel like i'm in the minority though... i know gon is honest and much more emotionally expressive#but he's not actually more tactile than killua#i... i actually do think that it's killua who initiates much of the contact between them (fistbumps and poking and hand on shoulder)#if i'm not mistaken anyways#and he's very tactile with alluka and nanika (carrying + hugs + handholding)#granted that's his sister(s) but still. killua is far from touch averse - his getting embarrassed is a cute trait to be sure#but i do think he'll get a bit better at accepting that kind of thing once he's had some time with alluka and nanika#a lot of that does come after all from his feelings of unworthiness - and now that his sisters need open affection after so long being alon#he's going to have to gain at least some comfort with giving and receiving love#gon and mito go for hugs either at the same time or mito initiates. gon hugs leorio in the scene right after he's revived#but idk idk i just feel like he won't be the first to initiate a hug with killua especially since i suspect he still feels quite guilty#i think it would show growth on both their parts. not to mention it'd be very sweet to have gon a bit blindsided + happily surprised#as he's the one typically honest and forthright with appreciation and compliments while killua is. not. lmao#i think he should receive a nice hug from his best friend. and then i think they would both know it's gonna be ok. :')#storyrambles#hunter x hunter#hxh#killua zoldyck#gon freecss#this is so sappy. what's wrong with me. this is what they do to me.#random thoughts

what happened to just backing out of a fic if it goes a direction you're not a fan of
#a twist in a story is not 'blindsiding' you just because you don't like it#not tagging a spoiler (outside of mandatory warnings and courtesy trigger tags) is surely the author's choice?#especially when there were genuinely hints already dropped in previous chapters that we were headed in this direction...#folks we are all more than welcome to just stop reading any of the free stories shared with us if we decide we don't fancy it anymore!#nobody is holding you hostage!#sorry ranting here for now lol#i told myself i'd wait 24 hours before responding to any comments on this chapter as i've already had a few i'm a bit blehhhh about lol

'cause people believe that they're gonna get away for the summer
‘cause you and i we live and die the world’s still spinning round we don’t know why why why why why
[oasis - champagne supernova // getting high - paolo hewitt // farms in county mayo // delphi fishery in county mayo // photo of the gallagher brothers from paul gallagher's book brothers]
#oasis#gallagher brothers#champagne supernova#paolo hewitt#getting high#totally blindsided by the idea ng has pastoral farm memories had to moodboard it just to process it#now that im looking for it i can hear it in the songs but man not ever something i ever would have guessed#childhood#tjad posts#ireland#county mayo#brothers book#i kept looking at that gallagher brothers photo in pgs book like you'd never guess the nightmare these boys lived with by those smiles#and then one day i noticed the hay mow in back and it clicked with this section of getting high#i'm suspicious of a lot of noel g stories but this one i believe b/c of that photo#cant find a pic of loose hay lifted inside a barn to match but you get the idea

giving psych another go after having watched the first season and a bit a couple years ago before stopping because I hadn't really been feeling it
only like six or seven eps in this time, and I am enjoying it, and I would like to stick with it this time, but god, now I do remember why I gave up on it in the first place. for all the show has going for it (which is a lot!) so much of the tone (and shawn is usually the biggest offender) falls back on those really insufferable attitudes from the mid ’00s of like. hit on every woman you see, getting laid is always the biggest priority. kneejerk disdain for anything nerdy or "uncool." I'm a guy and that means I care about porn and sports and that's it
#like yeah it's fun when shawn gets blindsided by a woman (bc she's hot ofc) only to get a reveal later that she was the bad guy#but also I'd rather he just. treated women like people in the first place lmao#and I'm sure he does later! like everything I've seen of late series him and juliet looks good and intriguing#but we're starting from such a rough place. and like. is the show aware?#bc then you've got gus who doesn't conform to those same masculine behaviors (often to set up a punchline for shawn)#but gus himself doesn't feel like a punchline or stereotype. he feels well-rounded and is often validated by the circumstances#it's just bizarre. wondering if this is one of those cases where s1 of a show feels least tonally accurate#e.g. how it's initially pitched or what it plays up for viewership or attention vs. how it settles into itself down the line#but man I'm over s1 shawn. like I'm watching the convention ep and he's being so unnecessarily dickish and dismissive to gus and everyone#because it's nerd shit? it's uncool? this just feels like such an outdated sensibility#(which it is. it's 18 years old at this point. these sensibilities are now legal adults)#but I'm glad we as a culture moved past this energy and I'm ready for the show to do the same#psych#kayla posts

“You know, if you break up with Sveta, meet a gorgeous girl and break Sveta’s heart again, I’m obligated to throw you into the center of the Atlantic Ocean.”
....What does this mean Vicky? He's not allowed to date anyone pretty ever again???
#wormblr#parahumans#ward lb#I'm just missing something right?#I get that she's trying to be a good friend after Weld put her in a shitty situation#but this feels insane#I'm sad they aren't working out#but it's also sort of a valid plotline to exlpore idk#glad this was spoiled for me so I wasn't blindsided and upset by it#I also only read more because I was waiting in line alone for a long time and this was the only thing I thought my phone could handle#I really should just give up on it#but man I want to see the terrible bits people are talking about#I just wish the bad (funny and ridiculous) parts weren't behind all the bad (really boring) parts or the bad (annoying) parts

Poor Emmanellain sending this relatively new, silent, stoic adventurer off on a delivery only to realize its going to take twice as long as just delivering it himself.
Zenos gets to deal with both the pain of not being able use Aetherytes and being dramatically stubborn of doing a job he was given regardless of it.
#ffxiv#concept#fan art#sketch#adventurer zenos#zenos yae galvus#emmanellain de fortemps#sometimes i'm just occassionally blindsided remembering that these two are the same age#I might draw a scenario later of Emm taking in Zenos like Haurche does for us#travelling alone he actually starts to learn that its kinda nice helping people who dont put you on a pedestal#or jump to calling you a monster behind your back (*cough* Asahi and Varis *cough*)#Also Ali's words really just live rent free in his brain#in fact looking back to how I've worked on writing him#it might in fact be the only thing living in his brain at the moment#him being an adventurer is boiled down to 'if I do stuff for other people maybe i won't end up alone forever'#because I am still on the side that no matter how much he'll want to he's physically incapable of dying anymore#resonant/emet's experiments go brr

HEY!
It is me!
I had a thought concerning New Age AU :D
I spend some time thinking about waht you said.
That the castle Nightmare (and dream and their family) lived in. The royal castle.
Is the tree of emotions.
So. So hear me out.
I wonder that. if the castle is the tree. does that mean it may be a bit sentient.
You said that nightmare can easily change it because he is conencted to it (the apple ritual) but i wonder if the castle itself is kinda sentient.
And VERY mad about how its powers got used.
Maybe the story of the twins. OG story. is connected to the prophecy. But it was a warning.
It was a warning to remain united. To trust your family and to listen to them when they ask for help. To believe them when they notice things about people youdon't notice.
To warn away from going out on your own. warnign away from searching for power that you shouldnt take. (the apples were never suposed to be eaten after all.)
And of those twins the one who ate the apple actually succeed in killing their twin. that the grieve of that moment intensified the emotions based power source into overdrive which caused the one who ate the apple to even gain godlike abilities.
the whole prophecy was a warning.
The royal family that settled in this place. found the story. found the tree (having recovered after the twin who ate the apple died) and instead of seeing a warnign. saw a to do list.
The lessons they took:
power makes you undefeatable
the power makes you stay in control
the best way to gain this power? eat an apple and kill someone important to you.
attachment is a weakness waiting to be used to grow more powerful.
sadly after they grabbed and misused one apple? they got paranoid. if they can use the tree to gain power others can too! so they cut the tree down. and to make sure it could never grow back. build the castle on top of it.
Meaning there is only ONE apple. the one consumed by the one true ruler. and the ruler neeeds to willingly summon their apple/soul to give to eat to the new ruler. to pass on the forbidden knowedge and power through lessons and traditions.
over time the trees influence took over the castle. but because the ruler ate the apple and has a direct connection they can still control the castle.
the tree/castle watches as nightmare broke the cycle. as nightmare refused to hurt ccino (adn so his brother) nightmare, even through fear chose love and trust.
the castle willingly helps and protects nightmare.
and when nightmare lost the apple's power? officially breaking that godforsaken cycle? the castle is just more protective. thorn now protect the castle and the trees around it hide it.
this is of course. lost knowledge. the royal family made sure to destroy the knowledge in fear of someone standing against them.
but nightmare managed to break it still.
and maybe... just maybe... now somewhere deep in the castle. deep underground as a forgotten meadow deep underground. in a beautiful little cave. a new tree starts to grow to truly help heal the land.
haha sorry this got long again lmao.
but yeah! If you have the tree/castle kinda sentient you can have that the very land was trying to sabotage the old rulers but couldn't do a lot because of the one apple's power and so having to listen.
it would be the source of all that powerful magic.
Ough. It SO is slightly sentient.
Ancha once again you have obliterated me w/ ur storytelling istg-
Okay. I love that this info has been lost completely to time. Like. The only one that's aware is the tree/castle itself.
I think the interpretation I like here is that, the stump is somewhere within the grounds, maybe even in the treasury or armory, but the *roots* make up the building kinda cypress tree style, so as they cut down the tree, the once vibrant life in the old roots turned to stone and was left almost completely powerless. (I am, unfortunately, a sucker for the idea that there was a time that *someone* treated the tree with respect 😔) (Also hense the new young tree sprout growing out of the ground deep in a hidden cavern, because the roots relocated the power to a safer location.)
The castle, desperately grasping for that power back, so no one might mis-use it ever again. And then seeing Nightmare resist its twisted urges (like u said) in the name of love and care? It rips that power away the moment it loses its hold on Nightmare, and takes the seeds of magic away from harm's reach. But... Nightmare isn't upset by the loss. He doesn't go digging to get the power back. He... doesn't dig for *any* power.
Less blood is shed in vain on its land, more plants and ecosystems are allowed to thrive.
And gods, just the idea that the castle grows up plants and trees to better defend itself abd the people inside? This reaction is spontanious and Night assumes it connects to the state of the magic leaving him, but it doesn't harm anyone so ehhh. But the tree is trying to encourage and protect those who helped it without knowing...
And dude the whole story of the og story and both twins dying and then a family misconstrued that entire story into one of power and consumption and betrayal??? Waughhh it's beautiful....
I'm losing my mind here at the storybook level magical healing and forgiveness and learning lessons, I love it so so dearly <3
#new age au#<- before I type anything out I need to add this tag so I never ever lose this-#I think I had more to say and I might remember later#but I need you to know that I was getting ready for a lecture on greek art and was blindsided by this so bad that ai#I kept spacing out and thinking about it haha!!!!#so so good!!! thank you for gracing me with this......#sentient castle is my favorite thing ever...#I'm just picturing that during the raid Dream gets inside abd tge castle (vaguely sensing that it remembers this aura abd can feel its inten#t) decides to work with what little recovering power it has to move a section of floor or sprout a root to jam a door in place. buy a bit#more time#and no one notices it#and it doesn't help much#but it's the trying that mattered <3#oughhh this is just so sweet#Ancha. i must shake you once more in graditude >:]

The interesting thing about natsuyuu having a (mediocre) dub now is its kinda hard to tell whether newer fans talking about differences between the anime and manga are Actually talking about legitimate differences between the two or if they just watched the mediocre english dub that wildly miscast one of the main characters
#like I keep seeing posts talking abt differences between the two and I'm like yeah that's fair#but then they start talking abt the anime making tanuma a 'bro' and I'm like. OH NO. Have they been watching the dub this whole time???#in general I'm always kinda blindsided by how much younger anime fans trust dubs/treat them like they're 1 to 1 translations of the japanes#like sure dubs are a lot better than they used to be. I still watch them occasionally. but they're not Guaranteed to be accurate#most big name anime these days get good dubs. but more obscure stuff tends to still be pretty half assed/changed to be more-#-'appealing to a western audience' which usually just means 'add more witty quips to go viral on social media'
