imo the funky special effects in old movies and series look better than most of the new stuff's cgi

So the interview saying that Asc Astarion is "still him" (as we already know) and how ascending him is basically Tav confirming to him "yes you should be in fear".... I've seen strange reactions to it. Or rather, strange reactions about our reaction lol

Spawn weirdos and Fixers: "the Asc girlies aren't gonna like this, no no no! Hahahaha they're going to deny it all! This will destroy them!"

Asc Astarion fans: *giving the interview actual analysis and consideration* "Yeah that makes sense, he lives in a dangerous world and so many people could be after him. It would make sense for Tav to fear for him and want him to recognize that there are very real threats out there. And to help him ascend is to tell him that those fears are real and he'd do well to take out insurance against them (ie. ascending). And while that may lead to unhealthy habits (paranoia for example, especially for vampires), it's a valid and healthy thing to recognize in moderation if that's how you want the narrative to go."

I'm at the painful "confession" scene during the kage summit arc. It really is so emotional, but also... hm.

When I was younger, like 13 or so, I was a big Sakura and Naruto shipper. They were the first pairing I read fanfic for even. And in a way, I do still enjoy the two of them together... but it's moments like these that really drive home the fact that it Doesn't really work in canon. Not the way that it's set up.

As Sakura puts it, "Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke! That's all you think about!"

She's told that Naruto has feelings for her and decides to use it to convince him to stop going after Sasuke. She does love him, but not in the way she's trying to confess. The love they share is one of comradery, not necessarily romantic. The love of two people who have gone through such pain together, and who have leaned on each other throughout it all. And the fact that she's turning around and saying she loves him "simply like everyone else", now... it's trivializing. And the fact that she's trying to convince him of this, the fact that she thinks she Can convince him of this, is pretty hurtful. They've come a long way from when they were kids, Naruto the goofball vying for her attention while she yelled at him for being stupid. Sakura respects Naruto so much more than before, and Naruto respects her too. So the fact that she's still doing this... She's desperate, really. She thinks the promise he made to her to bring Sasuke home is what's driving him to let himself be hurt over and over and over again in the pursuit and protection of Sasuke.

But she's wrong.

That may be part of it, but it's only part. Naruto wants Sasuke back for himself, too. He let himself be beat up to avoid selling him out. He chases after him with single minded determination. Sasuke is his entire drive to get stronger, to catch up, to bring him home. Sasuke, Sasuke, Sasuke indeed.

As it is, Naruto knows she's lying to herself. And no matter what she says, he will keep going after Sasuke. Because that's just the person that Naruto is.

I think that Mlevens that love Mike might actually be crazier and more detached from the narrative than Mlevens that hate Mike

tw i got triggered as fuck

i had a shit sleep and then on top of that this morning, like only 20mins after i woke up, my sister's partner suddenly exploded in anger, because my dog barked at our other roommate (who my dog is scared of). and i know sudden loud noises are a trigger for him (the partner) who also has PTSD but then he just, yelled and slammed doors and stomped around and. everything that triggers me, he did. and i know it wasnt to purposefully trigger me of course, and he's stressed and sick and overworked, and i know it's probably not really about my dog. but trauma doesn't care about the details, it just goes yelling angry man = dangerous = triggered as fuck. so i escaped and hid in the backyard and calmed myself down from having a panic attack... by dissociating lol. but thats what dissociation is, a protective (if at times maladaptive) coping strategy. and then eventually i went back into the house and hid in my room, thankful that the door locks (though I also know im not in any danger, he's not my stepdad). music + weighted blanket + comfort toy + dog + self soothing skills. feeling better but this is just gonna ruin the next few days for me, and I'll have nightmares tonight. my sister was also triggered, but she apologised on his behalf (annnnnd thats also triggering, it's too much like how my mum constantly was apologising for my stepdad....) and told him to talk to someone today, while he's gone (he left, thank fuck).

and its not even lunchtime 😞

Honestly though I think it’s really a bad sign when I look at Shin Tsukimi and literally feel like he’s a self insert 😩

God I so much prefer researching Habsburg history over reading about literally any of the other figures I'm interested in bcs it gives me genuine stress parsing through the giant amount of biographies, that have such a huge range of biases and narratives, and trying to decide which to actually embark upon. It's not like Habsburg scholarship is a small field or anything, but it's so much more limited than it is for someone like, say, Napoleon. For Habsburg stuff, I'll pretty much read anything bcs I'm so desperate to learn anything, and I usually have to go out of my way to even find books and papers

[bearfeathers]

Seedling is such an interesting little story that i love, but i´d be lying if it wasnt almost completely sprouted (hehe) from the visual of those character duos that are a small child + big scary looking creature who acts as their guard, top tier trope frfr

(also huge shoutout to @ashrayus for hearing me out and adding onto the rambles so long ago, bestie the robot story wasnt working, we got plants now 🌱)

funny things i've learned people have perceived us as.

- In middle school several people told us that we were gonna be a successful senator. Not just like oh yeah " kids you can be anything" but in a "You have the mind and skillsets to be a leader. You specifically, you are going to do good things. Here is how you are going to do it." At the time our current dream jobs were becoming a chef or a paleontologist because we liked food and we liked dinosaurs.

-Our Sgt. from JROTC telling us that he thinks "Your gonna go to college and be a suave ladys man and grow out a nice stache" this is after we already accepted we wetr trans and told several of our close friends, and the look they gave me when he said that.

-Some sort of Fashionista???? The amount of people who come to us asking for fashion advice.. and i'm sorry... I barely know how to do make up, I have no clue how to style our hair beyond ponytail, and we just pick things we think our cute... the majority of our clothes are in fact still hand me downs or things other people have gotten us.

the consistent through line is that people think we are generally more confident, collected, skilled, and put together than we are. Which is a nightmare when you feel like you are barely holding yourself together because you are a constant anxious mess who constantly feels like you are just barely squeezing out a success each time something good comes your way and thinks if someone looks at you a bit funny they hate you now.
