#isn't a girlfriend like they thought

When "Cute Usagiyama Rumi | Miruko" isn't an official tag and only the fics you've written come up...

[yume-fanfare]

something about hina's characterization is that he's both girlish and boyish. boyish in a girl way if you will but you can't really forget one or the other. And sometimes mellow when the situation calls for it but it has to be a rare occurrence or else it won't be significative, that's the fun part of the quiet moments like in tetora's fs1. engstars is lacking when it comes to her theatrics though 💔

Tara headcanons :3

(it's literally just angst. Blame @lionydoorin for making me have Tara thoughts)

She can't stand the smell of cooking meat anymore. It reminds her of Amber.

After Sam left, there wasn't anyone buying groceries on a regular basis. She never starved, but there were many occasions where she went to bed hungry.

She doesn’t remember most of the night her dad left (or even the man himself for that matter). She tried to grab him as he was leaving, but he shoved her off. She slammed her head on the corner of the wall really hard, and ended up with a scar on her forehead, chronic psychosomatic migraines, and tinnitus.

She'll avoid going to the hospital unless she absolutely has to. Not only does it reminds her of being attacked, she was also a really sick kid, and she spent a lot of her childhood hospitalized. Even just going to the doctor stresses her out.

She's like. 70% stress and anxiety at any given moment. Seriously somebody get this girl some SSRIs before she has a heart attack.

Her leg and hand have permanent nerve damage, and her entire left arm is kind of fucked up after 6. She has a semi-permanent arm brace, a cane for her leg, and a whole lot of chronic pain.

Christina had a revolving door of boyfriends, and would bring them home sometimes. They were almost always awful to Tara.

She really misses Amber sometimes. She never tells anyone.

I recently found out people ship Cassandra with Apollo.

My initial reaction was...

Just tan their hides. You know what happened to her because the the bastard, don't you?..

Then, I was overwhelmed by morbid curiosity, and checked AO3. People are writing rape fics about them. ...Why?..

Could I ever see Cassandra x Apollo?.. I don't know, maybe. But, definitely not the nonsense I mentioned. Dubcon at most. I guess, he might somehow coerce her into sleeping with him, and later rescue her from the fall of Troy, because she's pregnant with his child, or something (Zeus would be pissed, I'm fine with that).

Sounds like an intriguing story, with a lot of morally questionable elements. I can imagine Apollo confiding in Artemis, wondering why his wife is so upset. She'd just go "are you serious rn?.. -_-".

...What, you're surprised I'm among those I wish to hide with a broom? Don't be. It happens quite often, actually.

Omg...... Like Mother, Like Daughter is doomed Yuri (half yuri? One sided yuri?). TT0TT Sol doesn't feel the same way I'm pretty sure (sadly), but Som is DEF down bad. TT0TT And Som's not exactly the most mentally stable jakfjdksalfj (I think she has a bit of a "Sol's my pet" vibe going on as well. Som means well but she is NOT healthy either jfakslfj oh this is just going to be a fucking wreck I'm ready let's GO!)

(spoilers under cut, also under cut cause length and pictures)

Like she saw the boy Sol is hanging out with and was just ">:("

*sobbing* She is SO DONE when she finds out they are dating TT0TT

*sobs* ahhhh! klasjfdk OhmyGOAD SHE is tREMBLING as Sol tells her how she got with the guy TT0TT

She is literally SULLEN that Sol and guy have been dating FOR A MONTH! she looks os SICK TT0TT

My poor girl is literally doing the Arthur fist clench with her fist TT0TT

Som! Som! Girlie! I don't think this is just a friendship for you anymore.

LKFJDASKLFJKLAJFKL WAIT

"Anyone can see at first glance that he's good for nothing. But how does she not see that?"

"To be honest, I wish they'd break up" NO YOU DON'T SAY???? nEVER WOULD'VE GUESS!

Finally caught up on Agatha All Along (had to watch WandaVision first) and it is such an interesting show in the way it adds so much to Agatha's character without explaining anything at all.

<Spoiler alert!>

We learn that she had a thing with Death, had a son - who she loved - who died, and spent several centuries using a scam they worked out together to kill witches, which her son wasn't happy about but didn't live long enough to really oppose.

But like... we never really learn why.

We have glimpses from her childhood - mostly when she killed her first coven, when they tried to execute her for using dark magic and she absorbed their power and killed them instead, including her mother.

Was that how it started? Did she get addicted to power, to murder and death, and decided to keep up with it? Did she need the steal power - did she have no power of her own, and decide to steal power from those that did? Did she decide that she deserved it, somehow?

Or was it before that?

"I can be good!" she pleaded to her mother.

"No, you can't," her mother spat.

"I should have killed you at birth," her mother's spirit said.

When did that start? How early? How young?

When did her mother first tell her she could never be good? When did Agatha start believing her, and stop trying?

If you can't be good, might as well be bad. Might as well be the worst. Might as well do all the things you're accused of doing - they'll never believe you didn't, anyway - and reap the rewards virtue will never buy you.

Steal the book. Practice the dark spells. Steal power, and from witches too - they're the ones who said you're so bad anyway. Never trust a witch, they tried to kill you - and you're sure they'll do it again. The more powerful you are, the safer you are, and the deader they are, the safer you are from them.

...Or, you know. Maybe she just likes murder. Who can say!

i wonder if my ex best friend remembers my birthday every year the way i remember hers

[thethingything]

every time we listen to Time by ELO I can't help but think the album's premise would work really well for some kind of angsty AU fic.

it's about a guy getting transported to the future and is trying to adjust to life in the future while missing his partner who he desperately wants to get back to

My impression of how strongly Taylor felt about Harry Styles is VASTLY different after hearing the vault tracks

[illdothehotvoice]

Dead Plate good. Doomed yaoi.

[paging-possum]

Who up listening to good luck babe by chappell roan and having it resonate not in the way intended but resonating nonetheless. About to go ham in the tags about the overlap of being a lesbian and being aromantic...if u even care....

rotating tim drake in my mind like a ballerina in a music box

[thebirdandhersong]

looool the world is so small and brief encounters are funny--as in I froze for a moment from the shock and then, when I was out of sight, laughed hysterically because I hadn't expected it

[gay-kurapika]

I love reddit its like misogyny central. "Am I the asshole for not wanting my friend to bring his girlfriend everywhere" yes actually you are, she's a full person all on her own and I doubt she thinks of you as "boyfriends friend" but go ahead and elaborate on why she doesn't exist to you. Let's explore that a bit.

I wish it wasn't so difficult to maintain friendships. I miss having a lot of friends.

winter 2024 first impressions: ishura

and so we ring in the new year with some beautiful doomed yuri that lasts only until a weird guy appear

typical

i picked this one up for the cast (romi park my beloved please arrive soon) and it's off to an alright start imo. the fight sequences were pretty good, visually, but the soundtrack didn't blow me away—and i really wish it did. the ost wasn't bad or anything, but if it had stood out more to me, i feel like it would have elevated the action scenes as a whole

the premise is remarkably simple so far, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. i often like simple, but it means the series will swim or sink based on its characters (who were mostly only namedropped towards the end of the first episode, so time will tell if they compel me)

one element of the worldbuilding i did like is there are these big mech type 'golems' facing off against humans, some of whom can use magic. exceedingly standard stuff

but then!

you see one of the golems using the same magic humans wield, which was a nice little twist i quite enjoyed. not sure if anything will become of that detail, since it seems like the series is shaping up to be more of a pvp battle royale than a pve humans vs golems type story

(side note this feels like it would make a pretty sick video game)

the weakest part of the first ep, to me, was the pacing. it just felt rushed, but that's mostly understandable since this ep was clearly just set-up for the 'main' plot. i feel like it might have benefited from being an hour-long episode, or maybe all this backstory would have felt more impactful if we saw it later, with the 'main' plot starting in medias res and circling back to this later? idk it wasn't The Worst, i just feel it (the pacing) could have been Better

also content warning for anyone who might need it: there was at least one instance of extremely graphic violence in this first ep, which i anticipate might continue through the series, so heads up on that

tl;dr it's fine so far
