#if that sounds like a metaphor

[rockybloo]

Sometimes I think about how humanity has some conflicts with the more fantastical beings in Beanstalked and if it's too unrealistic to have each magical type of being have their own bad run ins with humans through history but then I see how people online are so willing to come up with the most specific as description of a specific ass group of people (like those who prefer coffee over tea or those that are scared of bugs) and how people will GENUINELY demonize them for such minor stuff and I go

"Yeah...yeah this is accurate"

And I know people will see this and go "ROCKY - RACISM EXISTS SO OF COURSE IT'S REALISTIC" but I am specifically tuning into the way humans just gotta find SOMETHING to hate on while still being morally grandstandy about it.

It's why I was using petty examples that really do not matter to some people because humans are the pettiest beings in the world. That line of thought humans have where some see the way someone writes the number 4 different and scoffs is what makes me go 'yeah this is a being who'd have beef with every mythical being if they existed"

i'm going to be living off of the high i got from the asuka cameo for at least another week. this episode was so good it's insane

[aplpaca]

a cardinal sin of writing is when an author makes an animal metaphor/comparison/symbolism but it isn't even accurate to how the animal in question actually behaves. Like damn I bet you thought you were saying something with that but unfortunately you didn't google :/

More on Clover's personality/mbti

this one's shorter don't worry

So, I mentioned before how Clover's creative when it comes to a lot of stuff (more than they are grounded), but there's also the fact they can sing (that's how they spare Insomnitot), dance (not as much into it as Bailador, but they CAN dance), make puns (Gun-hat and how they wanted to make puns in the stable in Wild East; idk the exact line) are into drawing (in Axis' office, you'll get a text saying "You wish you could draw that well..."), video games (with Mew Mew) and they even know how to play the harmonica (from the teaser trailer), plus tend to zone out ↓

They constantly kept choosing kindness over what's right.

Those are PERSONAL values they have, that these monsters deserve forgiveness. I really think the inferior Te clashes with dominant Fi in their case. Clover wants to do what's objectively right and just, but at same time their heart is just too pure. They were able to empathise with everyone and get in everyone's shoes (also affectionate but that's a bonus) ↓

there's no change in their kindness from the beginning to end

Like if they were actually in court I don't think they'd act like a "typical" judge and deliver 100% fair consequences. No, that Fi kindness would ALWAYS win, like it did with Star and Ceroba.

Clover's Fi was always there, but differentiates depending on the route. In pacifist, they decided that everyone, in spite of what they objectively did wrong, should be forgiven and understood. In neutral, they decide whose actions were moral enough to get spared, and whose weren't. In geno, instead of killing five monsters, they wipe out anyone THEY think is in their way.

If they were Ti dominant they'd naturally be a lot more rigid and have/show a lot less empathy, imo. The Te inferior is present in geno bc they think they are dealing with the events in the outside world objectively, but the Fi is still there, that's why they don't stop killing: THEY are the one who thinks it should be this way. Clover wants to influence/control the outer world (Te; they don't spend a lot of time dwelling on their actions, unlike Ti users, Clover's a lot more forceful) based on how they subjectively think things should be (still that Fi except that it manifests differently than in pacifist). Clover as a thinker would naturally be more detached from emotions, but they're... they're not. Even in the beginning.

Inferior Te present their Fi opinions like they are objective Te facts - I found this line and it instantly reminded me of geno Clover. "Yeah, I'm right for killing everyone, even though I'm really not"

Clover becomes like a "manager of justice" when in their dark side. You step outta line, you're dead - that's kinda the "structure" I think we're talking about here. Still values over how logically to assess a situation, though. Ceroba calls them naive.

This means that Clover WANTS.... no, ALWAYS WANTED to approach the "missing children" situation like they're in control, but in reality, they were without a clear plan of what to do and how to do it. That's inferior Te.

On the contrary, in the vengance route, they step into their inferior function and take control... but at what cost.

As for their Si, we have the fact Clover remembers their past home life, remembers cramped living conditions, their responsibilities at home, the TV channel they "watched"...

All this stuff from the past contributed to them leaving for the Underground (aka affected their future). I really really don't think Clover has auxiliary Se. That would mean they're usually present-focused. But no, this kid's thought process feels more complex to me. As explained, Se mostly focuses on what's in front of them; Clover, while in the present, can think of the past (their home life), which then influences their future (jumping down Mt. Ebott). And when in the present, they can think of the far future (dying during their mission and therefore never coming back home or becoming an adult, and in the end the potential freedom of monsterkind) and recall the past vividly (all those things their friends told them throughout their journey)

They don't suspect Flowey's malicious, either. And even if some part of them didnt trust Ceroba, Clover never showed it or said anything out loud (not that i remember), and even if they did, they still chose to spare Axis since he is the only thing left of Chujin. That's naive, maybe. But Clover's REALLY REALLY REALLY sweet.

Speaking of Flowey... remember how he would often encourage Clover and tell them to have more confidence and that they "don't have to be scared" and "lean on him for emotional support" and that they should "have some faith in themselves too"? Yeah, that's the aspect of their personality that they had to work on; becoming the leader they were always meant to be.

Their arc feels like going from a scared kid to a great hero. Aka stepping into that inferior Te... the right way.

“it’s crazy how many people hate cats. consistently, without reason. ” “so you don’t think people hate dogs? you think everyone loves dogs and that no dog has ever been abused? this is so ignorant of the dog community” “no i didn’t say that, i was just talking about cats—“ “but you weren’t talking about dogs. so you hate dogs and think only cats are hated.” that’s what you sound like

Cats: “It’s crazy how many people hate cats. Consistently, without reason. This must mean dogs have privilege over us”

Dogs: “You’re right that’s awful and I want to support you, but people hate us too? It just looks different but it isn’t a privilege. I can give you examples”

You, specifically: “Oh my fucking god it’s always about you, isn’t it, can’t you ever shut up for two seconds and stop making shit up you whiny hysterical bitch”

That’s what you sound like :)

bitch the reveal of "dot and bubble" was that theyre all white supremacists. like. thats not even subtext, thats just TEXT. how did you not realise that. do you NEED to be explicitly told everything

and to that person who said that utena wasn't assaulted but "seduced" and anthy "delivered" utena's virginity to her brother

[crimeronan]

my other important thought about inner amnesia timeline luz that i'm too eepy to fathom into real sentences is, like. hunter is SO scared to touch her at first. because she looks so hurt. but then he hugs her and when he accidentally grazes one of the burns on her arm, it starts to scab/scar over. even though he hasn't yet done Shit to restore her memories. because just the fact of him being there has healing properties....

I realize that this is not nearly all of it, when I feel like half of his entire dialogue is actually using some form of rhetorical device. lol But much like him being an artist in creating the frescoes, I just love how Solas tends to paint a picture with his words, too?

There's something about the "But not everyone wants to go to Rivain!" line that always cracks me up though. Like, the subtle frustration in his delivery is so funny to me. The fact that the Creator of the Veil is comparing spirits' expectations of crossing the barrier between the worlds to a nice summer holiday trip to Rivain. lmao I picture Solas and his very skeptical "pro-Fade" spirit buddies watching some of the memories of the waking world like it would be the worst possible vacation spot, like when he told Blackwall how he quickly left that memory of the old Val Royeaux market because of "the smell". 😂 And now he's stuck here in "exotic Rivain" desperately searching for a ticket back home. lol

Also, that comparison of the Grey Wardens killing the Archdemons to a "fair maiden chasing a butterfly off a cliff"... You just know we're so screwed if the last Archdemon is slayed. lol

hi hello i have a question... i was wondering if you could define knife romance? Ive been looking on urban dictionary even and can't find a definition 😭😞 I wanted to know what classifies a ship as "knife romance"!

ho ho ho what IS knife romance... knife romance is love with pvp enabled. when you can replace a kiss with a stab and it's equally or more intimate. it's the wary circling, it's mutual fascination, it's distance + devotion, it's the simultaneously terrifying + enchanting vulnerability... knife romance is when intimacy is the coin and love and violence are its two faces

I’m going to start keeping sunflower seeds in my pockets, so If I just so happen to die spontaneously in the middle of no where, a small mouse and or bird might eat them, and if not that, may those seeds grow into a large beautiful flower. to not let my body go to waste, to create something pretty with what energy my body can provide, to continue to be useful even in death, to at least do something
