#it could be painful but honestly

[yuseirra]

this chapter was a piece of art

no, but Kamiki DID understand Ai very well in essence. I get why Ai described him as the first person she's ever wanted to love?? He just got ONE thing off and I don't even think that's entirely his fault either. It cost him everything though.

one of the things that continues to strike me on reread is how much the character of Darcy, and Austen through him, finds Mr. Bennet dead. And how much Elizabeth, in growing and changing and discarding her past blindness, has to move past her way of seeing her father and thus of seeing reality, because the two are connected! Darcy’s letter exposes her father’s flaws to Elizabeth in a way she’d never been able to see before. Most especially the way his laziness and neglect of his own gifts have hurt his family and that ultimately he doesn’t. care. Not enough to change. It literally says that she comes home from Hunsford and tries to laugh at her sisters’ and mother’s folly (the way she used to; the way her father has taught her to by example for her whole life) and she can’t anymore! It sticks in her throat. She is grieved by the failures that she sees in him, all the more so because she IS his favorite and she loves him! And the thing about Mr. Bennet is he never changes. The Lydia/wickham situation exposes to him sharply his own conduct and the consequences and he feels it! Because he is neither stupid nor unfeeling. But he, like everyone, has free will. And he chooses not to change when the opportunity presents itself. He even jokes about how quickly his feeling bad will pass and how soon everything will go back to normal, to his laziness and his selfishness. He is set in his ways and he serves as a contrast to Elizabeth’s personal journey because he embodies a version of a person she could have become and was in danger of becoming if her only goal at all times was to laugh at and judge people from the sidelines.

* how would the others react if dev got to chance to become a pixie? (If that makes any sense, very sorry if it doesn’t)

They'd be horrified and won't know how to process the information.

In this grim timeline, CosWan would have to come to terms that their youngest son is a walking death flag, while also embracing their new grandchild as much as they had embraced Timmy. It's a whole new terrifying life to navigate, but they'll do their best to navigate it together as family.

Okay, but no offense, can anyone write a invincible variants x reader where it ends in poly?? Like ik I have issues, but imagine this- multiple versions of mark; the guy you grew up with and fell in live with and now you have a whole harem of marks in love with you and would do anything for you.

Like I've read invincible variants x reader have a happy ending but like, I know as a society we need more like, so what if I want to see variants of my precious pookie bbg mark in love and obsessed with me?? Whats the problem with that??

(And like what if the reader gets pregnant; like I wanna see the chaos and destruction the marks will cause just to get what the reader wants like, want the softest set of pillows in the multiverse? Consider it done and ready in a few hours (maybe not by legal means but, some bloodshed here and there, but atleast you have ur softest pillows in the multiverse) or how if the reader wants a back massage or a leg massage they'd have to end up taking turns bc of how much they'll kill to be the only one to do so. And when she gives birth? Oh you better know that that those kids are the most spoiled and precious little being in the universe. OR BETTER YET; they find a way to have the reader live as long as a viltrumite, RAHHHH THE POSSIBILITIES-

One thing I rarely see people talk about in relation to having disorders / chronic illnesses is like having more mixed feelings about their conditions

Like usually, online people are so eager to say that they'd choose to live their lives without their conditions in a heartbeat, but I don't know, I've never been able to relate to that idea

Do I feel like my quality of life would've been better without my chronic illnesses and neurological disorders and constantly wish I was normal ? Of course !! But now that I've lived my life in this state / with these things going on with me, they now make up such an integral part of who I am. I also feel like they've helped me foster a community of people who feel similarly and made me so much more sympathetic towards others. Now that it's a part of my life, I almost feel like if my wish to become normal came true, I would feel so odd and wrong and it'd make me spiral sm...

...However, the severity of my conditions is an entirely different story.

does anyone watch 1923. if you haven’t pls don’t bother. most sadistic show I’ve seen in a long time maybe ever. first season was so good and you felt there must be a point to all these atrocities…some message of hope and resilience. then second season was straight up torture porn

One of the biggest losses to me when it comes to Vi’s (nonexistent) character arc in season 2 is that we were robbed of seeing Hailee Steinfeld get to show her skills for a big emotional scene. I was excited to see how this season would push her (especially with some of the premiere interviews). There were so many emotional lines in Act l that felt like they were building to something bigger. I was expecting something as good as or better than the Gwen scene with her dad in Across the Spiderverce. Many good lines but not a singular scene that really felt like hers.

Fading impressions of someone important to you... no I'm not crying you are.

@zelinkcommunity

[epickiya722]

Sometimes, I forget that there are people who find protagonists like Izuku, Tanjiro and Yuji "boring" because "they exhibit typical shonen protagonist traits" and one of them woukd be "They're nice, they're kind, they're all sunshine".

Which, okay, have your tastes, that's fine.

But when it comes to characters who are kind and/or nice, there's layers to them.

Just because a character is nice, doesn't mean they're kind and vice versa.

A character can be the most evil one in that story and still show kindness to some people somehow. A nice character may be the one to do immoral things, Yuji being an example.

The reasons for why a character is nice and/or kind varies, too.

Some are just genuinely born that one. Some may be selective as to who they show those sides, too, because of their own morality. Maybe, a character is being kind or nice to also manipulate others. Some characters may choose to be kind because who will, despite the cruelty of the world?

Also, I feel like, even with people outside of a fandom, they hear or seen a character being nice and kind, they just stop at that and don't think they're capable of being ruthless.

Like, Tanjiro canonically has a pure soul, but multiple times he has shown he is not only a menace in a fight, but he has shown to be one in casual situations. Sometimes, he's not even aware he is because he is so nice.

Izuku, he's a sweetheart, too. But even he will just shut off that "sunshine" to literally tear into you. He has been told in canon to hold back his emotions, the most prominent one being his anger. When he's angry, go apologize!

Yuji, look, let's be real... he is sunshine and rainbows, but that boy is probably the least sweetest one out of these three examples. Hold back? Yuji don't know what that is. No, no, he really don't. I kid you not, this kid doesn't. You can't even use the fight against Junpei as one because he punched Junpei UP into a window. Had Junpei not have that shikigami, he would have gotten major injuries.

My point is!

Just because a character is kind or nice or both, it doesn't mean...

A) it's the only trait they have.

B) they're not capable of not being kind or nice.

I think some see nice and kind and associate it with being "soft" in a derogatory manner.

Which, first off, there's nothing wrong with being soft.

I'll be honest, it will sound silly (go ahead and laugh actually, I encourage it), but if you asked put a character like one of the mentioned protagonists in front of me along with their villain and asked me "who I'm more scared of" I'm pointing at the protagonist.

Listen to me. Don't let that cuteness fool you.

With a villain, I am well aware of that villain being evil and will hurt me no matter what I do.

With someone like Yuji or Tanjiro or Izuku, they look nice, they look kind but it's like you have to be careful to not to trigger them in a way to set them off. You're caught off guard but those sweet faces and then next thing you know, BOOM! You got knocked out.

If anything, as much as people like to clown on these characters, they're only just following the footsteps of the ones before them.

Just like those legends, they started from the bottom and grew stronger over time and even with being a chill person or don't want to do evil, that doesn't exempt them from being not "a sweetheart".

I said it before, but a sunshine character to me is a character who is warm but lethal, like sunlight.

Hi! Your Hollow Knight AU has really cheered me up so I wanted to do a little drawing for it! This got me to get my art tablet out after months of not feeling like it so thank you for the inspiration! I hope the colors look good on any monitor that's not mine sdfsdf

Bugs In the Jingshi wyd?

I am so genuinely awestruck at how well you translated this AU to the hollow knight style! Also obsessed with the height difference.

"I Hold Death's Hand in Mine" was always about Nicky.

Agatha always tried to stop him from holding Death's hand — Rio's — and when she couldn't, Nicky gave his hand to his mommy, as it was always meant to be from the beginning.

Agatha only delayed the inevitable and brought more pain to herself, and Rio knew this would happen, but still, she gave him more time.

Once in a while I see a comment from someone being like Wow it must be so hard for felix and chan to do aegyo being that they are australian men! You people understand nothing of australian men and their foolhardy attention seeking nature

general info dump/link list for people just learning about rui!

rui has studied/competed in traditional dance for his whole life since childhood. his sister is also a dancer & influencer on insta (iamriva123) and they used to post kpop dance videos together.

rui was also on boys planet, but was eliminated during the 3rd round of eliminations at 23rd place. i wanted to compile some of the more fun videos from his time on boys planet to help everyone get to know him~~

boys planet audition: iconic traditional dance~

star level test: see rui STUN 90+ trainees and the mentors with his traditional dance skills

behind of the star level test: rui and other trainees go up on stage to dance to the girl's planet 999 song

hidden box video: (these were part of promo before boys planet aired) basically rui and his bestie zhang hao reaching into a mystery box and being incredibly endearing (vol warning for headphone users)

dance battle: see rui spin like a top and do cartwheels around the entire stage, also featuring the iconc line "YOU'RE A BIRD!" from haruto

kill this love practice: rui memorizing a choreo by just laying around and stretching while watching the video

more kill this love practice: rui and zhang hao comfort fellow trainee min who's having a rough time

behind the scenes in boys planet dorm: see rui with 3/9 of zb1, and also the other global trainees (including wumuti!) teasing him for stretching all the time

dorm vlog: rui shows off his flexibility once again, answering the burning question of how he stretches in the shower

butterfly practice: somewhat painful to watch, but rui is a very comforting presence to junseo who's going through it this episode, and the whole group has great dynamics

lip reading game with over me team: some rly cute rui moments as he starts the game and gets exasperated with the word they got

more game day fun: no subs unfortunately, but basically over me team has to try to put pants on without using their hands. zhang hao and rui get very creative.....with their mouths

over me 1.5x speed: just super fun, and rui has to literally drag zhang hao up off the ground toward the end

over me win: iconic for how much of an underdog group they were, and rui is extremely emotional

over me on mcountdown behind: just a lovely video, they're all excited to be on a Real music show... if the vibes seem kinda off it's bc rui was technically already eliminated at this point, but it hadn't aired yet and fans didn't know :((

reaction to zhang hao getting 1st on boys planet: couldn't find a good fancam of this, but rui literally collapses into sobs when it's announced that hao placed 1st, and it's only when he sees rui on the big screen that it really sinks in for hao that he won T T
