#if this doesn’t make sense I’m sorry

[sarcasticallyexplicit11]

Okay I’m gonna say something that may be controversial. And it may not make much sense because my words aren’t wording so bear with me.

I don’t think Darry was wrong to react the way he did to Pony not doing anything in his grief. As someone who’s lost a friend before, it’s hard. No one is saying it’s not hard. But wallowing in it and putting your life on pause because someone is gone is not healthy. The grief of losing a friend can completely consume you if you let it, and by Gods you cannot let it.

This is not to say that Ponyboy is not allowed to grieve in the way he needs to. Grief is messy. It’s messy and hard and loud and all consuming and his best friend is dead and his whole life has changed.

Johnny wouldn’t want Ponyboy to put everything on hold just because he’s gone. That’s what his final message to Pony means: keep living despite losing me.

And Darry is probably terrified he’s losing his little brother too and it’s his job to protect them and he can’t lose him. So he does what he can, which is remind Ponyboy that they’re still there and he needs to keep living if not for himself but got his brothers.

I don’t think Darry should’ve reacted the way he did, I think he should’ve had a conversation with him and not resorted to anger. But I see where he was coming from because he’s grieving his parents and his friends and he will be damned if he has to grieve his little brother too.

enemies to lovers where you’re about to marry a man you utterly loathe to restore the status of your family. not interested in becoming a pawn, you hatch a plot to take care of your husband-to-be, repercussions be damned. the only issue is that mere moments after your betrothed is allegedly murdered, he appears before you: covered in blood, a crazed glint in his eye, lips quirked into a manic grin. it turns out that you’re about to marry not a human, but a demon—and a powerful one at that.

HEADCANON OF THE DAY #19: (Dorcas x Mary) (marymeadowes? Idk I’m just thinking up random shit)

Even before they got together the second they learnt how to box braid hair they went up to each other to try it out. They spent a whole day just doing each others hair. And then they kissed. Yeah!!! They kissed.

Put your detective skills to work, who is @abscourse (and is it Katie)

Detective Aspen is backkkk

and I’m suspicious of @alaydabug2

(sorry anon)

okay first piece of evidence: @abscourse ‘s first reblog was of one of Alayda’s posts

Alayda and abscourse also have similarities in how they type

In these screenshots I have circled a misspelling and capitalization in the tags.

Btw, this isn’t a call out for spelling errors, I’m not the spelling police I misspell things all the time😅, it’s just a connection between the two.

So anyways, here’s some similarities with Alayda misspelling things and capitalizing tags:

Also, when asked about their identity abscourse usually answers yes or no (if in different languages…)

but when asked if they are Alayda

Why would it be a good guess?? Unless @abscourse is Alayda

also it’s worth noting that since @abscourse was created 7 hours ago Alayda hasn’t been posting or reblogging to defend Keefe having abs, which is something she’d been doing before hand. Abscourse has been instead defending Keefe’s abs.

anyways because I’m a thorough detective here is the anti-evidence, aka proof that it’s not Alayda:

for one, Alayda has posted a screenshot proving she doesn’t have any side blogs:

AND it’s different from the one she posted a while ago, meaning we can’t prove it’s reused or old.

Old screenshot:

However it could still be an old screenshot, especially if she was preparing for scrutiny before creating the blog.

another anti-proof is when abscourse didn’t know who Isa was when asked. I think @permanently-stressed and Alayda are mutual who interact pretty frequently so that didn’t make a whole lot of sense.

anyways, if this proves wrong I’ll search Katie, but for now my main suspect is @alaydabug2

Just some more thoughts on that jayvik dbh au

[enid-rhees]

What is the lunaverse?

the lunaverse is a series of stories that i’m going to write based around the story i made where reader & Enid adopted a girl and named her Luna! i’m basically going to create stories like maybe her first word, or when she finally walks etc etc, and just reader & Enid raising their daughter and watching her grow and live a somewhat normal life like a kid should, but in the apocalypse.

and basically it’s just this TWD alternate universe that i have created in my head haha

Out of all the things in Mouthwashing that stuck to me, it’s the fact that Anya kept trying to enter medical school eight times but keeps failing.

You’d think that after two or three times, hell, maybe even four, she would have given up. Maybe she would have used her bachelor’s degree for something else. Accepted the fact that she was just going to be another cog in the machine and get a job she doesn’t enjoy. But she didn’t. As of the time Mouthwashing starts, she tried a total of eight times.

I’m not even sure what’s worse. The fact that, after every rejection, she applied to a new one every year for eight years, or the fact that she applied to eight schools within a shorter timeframe and all eight of them rejected her. How brave and strong must one be to continue trying. That she never gave up on your dreams to try eight times. And how devastated must she be when Pony Express recruited her just to cut corners because they didn’t want to pay for a licensed and “qualified doctor”. And even when, in the eyes of most people she’s an unqualified nurse, she still continued to do her job with joy and never slacked off on her duties.

And let’s not forget that she kept Curly alive for at least six months with paper tape and glue. And you guys have seen Curly. He should have been burnt to death. And if the burns didn’t kill him, infections would have because he doesn’t have skin. But Anya kept him alive. His bandages don’t look completely soaked in blood. Anya regularly changed his bandages to the point that, when they’re most likely out of it, Curly’s bandages aren’t as soaked or bloody as one would expect.

So if there’s a reason why she wasn’t qualified for medical school, its definitely not because of her lack of knowledge or perseverance. Maybe it’s financial reasons. Maybe she’s just unlucky and she’s always the one who was just below the cut of passing. Medical schools definitely have limited slots. So there’s a possibility that Anya either is always just either one point or one roll of the dice away from being chosen, or that’s what she tells herself to continue pursuing her dream as a doctor.

Anya Mouthwashing, they can never make me hate you.

I’m 100% supportive of people becoming obsessed with a background character in something but when people start saying something is bad because those background characters don’t get any character development we gotta slow down a little

[zorosdimples]

love with zoro is intentional.

it doesn’t come easily. he’s as unyielding as his swords—steadfast and true. hard lines and sharp edges, he’s deadly when wielded properly. but he’s his own master; he doesn’t allow the winds of change to guide him. only of his own volition does he act.

blades hold secrets. they’ve seen and done things that make grown men pale and queasy. they’re accustomed to harsh conditions, to injuries, to biting words, to carelessness. it’s a delicate balance, maintaining the deadliness and the beauty of a weapon.

but it’s not impossible.

getting to know zoro takes patience and tenderness. prying into the life of a man who has only ever known loneliness and death is difficult. he’s slow to trust and even slower to speak his mind. he has a sharp tongue (so do you), and you each end up with a nick here and a scratch there—nothing that will scar.

you both have to be forthright with your feelings and understand that vulnerability isn’t weakness. connection is human. every sword needs a scabbard, every scabbard a sword; perhaps, then, zoro needs you. and you need him.

as a man obsessed with discipline, the messiness of love terrifies zoro. but when he looks at you—the soft curl of your smile, the curious glint of your eyes—he knows that it must be worth it. and it will be—

as long as you’re willing to meet him halfway.

thinking about how amanda, even when she was at the worst point in her relationship with john, even when she had lost all trust in him as a father figure and as a person, still bases her worldview off of his ideology. how she says at the end of saw iii that nobody changes, and she thinks that because john couldn’t “fix” her. how she stops believing that people can change at all before she stops believing that john was right to want to change her. that she knows she couldn’t be “fixed”, not because there was nothing wrong with her, but because john couldn’t do it. and that belief, that if he can’t fix her nobody can, still shows some kind of faith in him. how she didn’t trust him anymore—how she knew that everything he told her was a lie and yet she couldn’t stop believing in it because she had nothing else. the theme of trust on a personal level being different from faith in some circumstances. the idea that believing what somebody tells you and trusting them not to hurt you are two separate ideas. the idea that you can lose your love for someone and still have unshakable faith in them. how when she dies reaching out for him, it’s not because he’s a comfort to her—it’s because she has nothing else.

versus john, who loses all of his faith in amanda as the embodiment of his legacy but still loves her so much. and he wants her to succeed so desperately. she can’t carry on his work and at some point he realizes that. and she tries and fails over and over and over again but he always gives her another chance. over and over and over again. and when it’s all crashing down around them he realizes that he wasn’t giving her those chances because he thought she could do it. he was giving her those chances because he knew if he didn’t she would lose everything. and he “protects” her because if she dies, he loses everything too.

Me trying to explain to everyone that Will’s curse DOES make sense and it isn’t that stupid

[aashiqeddiediaz]

the intimacy and soul deep love that comes with outright telling someone you’re worried about them…

buck and eddie have been individually and jointly dragged through the coals before this; but never have they explicitly said how they worry about each other or anything to that likeness

and while the whole point of tv is to read between the lines, to pick up expressions in lieu of time-restricted dialogues, there is something absolutely devastating about buck putting those words out there in the quiet of eddie’s kitchen, only to hear them echoed right back

and it’s also in the tone of his voice, something to the stubborn quiet way he sneaks past every single one of eddie’s denials to the heart of the matter that mirrors the way buck buried himself in eddie’s heart so long ago without his knowledge, and now it’s kind of like eddie’s version of confession, his safe space to repent, his safe space to find some direction in a way religion never did for him but buck does?

and there’s something about the expression on buck’s face too, the one we’ve seen so many times when he fears losing eddie, and i just think that for both of them (including eddie himself) to voice concern about eddie’s mental state essentially, something really bad is probably coming up

A problem I have with Rick is that a lot of the time when he writes an lgbtq+ character, he writes them for a specific purpose like putting Reyna, the only aroace character, in the hunters of Artemis or that Alex Fierro, the only trans character, is a child of Loki.

Rick kinda brought up this problem in his good reads q&a section:

“… Are you going to add another trans character besides Alex?

Alex for instance just made sense as a child of Loki. So, basically I don’t know. I’m hoping to write about Irish mythology (if I ever get enough time with the other projects going on!) and gender fluidity is most definitely a concept that appears in the Irish myths, so that is a possible logical place where a trans character might appear”

I agree with him that making Alex a trans character makes sense but my problem is that trans characters can exist outside of having a gender fluid godly parent. People are gender fluid without having to be shape shifters and people are aroace without having to commit to celibacy or swear off dating.

I guess all I’m trying to say is that Rick shouldn’t limit himself to have a specific reasoning or trope that always have trans characters be children of gender fluid gods or aroace characters always joining the Hunt. He shouldn’t limit a character’s queer identity to their parents or anything.
