#ive accepted he would be bullied

[vanillaxoshi]

Im sorry for your loss on Solar not having the chance to beat up Reramos BUT OUR WINDY BOY FINALLY GOT HIS SPOTLIGHT WOOOOOOOOOOOO

GOOD LAWD I WOULD GO ON ABOUT HOW THEY ANIMATED BELIUNG BUT I DONT HAVE THE JARGON TO COMPLETELY EXPLAIN IT VKDNCKNFKFNCNC BUT THEY DID HIM A LOAD OF JUSTICE ON THAT INSANITY SEQUENCE I LOVE IT SM OH MY GAWDDDDDDDDD

Anyways what’s your thoughts on the episode?

My only thought is butterfly Bel rn cuz it’s iconic that they kept him lmao

-Duri Stan Anon (GO GO SOLARRRR)

Kuputeri basically just confirmed the elements are fully sentient, its implied but not straight out confirmed

First off, murder

Damn murder on screen straight up

"This is what i was afraid of, the Tempest power has taken over himself"

Being taken over by the elements are essentially bad news

Well that makes sense, since whenever they appear when boi loses memories, they cause chaos, example is duri who keeps taking over himself

Then we got Kuputeri calming boi down and telling him, he has control, not the power itself

(lol, if i put it in ES terms, even the users dont consider the powers themselves)

I love how beliung is brought up and how mainc he went

And wow, all what i guessed did happen, the wings were the hoverboard, wings and fan that smacked Reramos and almost killed him(beliung was becoming overkill there)

The entire ep was epic, one of the things that made the comic lack for me is because it felt rushed

The animation fixed that

Overall, love the ep

Confessing my sins to the internet because my irl friends don't know my tumblr

I'm actually a horrible friend and I don't plan to change :)

I'll be a good friend to anyone I actually like and I usually don't associate with people who I don't like, but sometimes there will be an occasional lonely (usually annoying) kid that follows me around. (They're lonely for a reason.) I kinda hate people who are loud literally all the time but I can hold my tongue and this kinda person just doesn't leave because they're not being told directly to leave.

What do I do? I talk to them only when I need them, I make unnecessarily mean comments as a joke, I point out their obvious flaws that I know they have a hard time changing, and all while they still follow me around like I'm not kinda bullying them.

Sometimes I'll treat them like an actual friend when I'm in a good mood, but if I'm not, then the unfortunate victim becomes my emotional punching bag. (I have ways to quickly fix my mood and this is completely unnecessary and I could distance myself until I feel better like how I do with actual friends.) I think this is like. Breadcrumbing? Anyways yeah, toxic shit.

If any of your "friends" treat you like this, they don't see you as a friend. If they leave you doubting if they like you or not, leave you doubting if you're actually friends, they probably don't see you as a friend. (because that's the case for me :3 )

I'm a horrible human being and I don't feel nearly as bad as I should about it :)

[whenlilyfallsinlove]

i know you

eli moskowitz x reader... (y/n) is basically jess in gilmore girls.. ive been obsessed with cobra kai lately

"what the fuck are you doing?"

"excuse me?"

you don't think you have ever felt as angry as you have done today. finding out that one of your best friends, that you just so happened to be in love with, had changed completely as a person was one thing. finding out he tried to beat up the third member of your little trio was another.

so you did what you had to, you always felt the need to go out the way to protect eli and demetri. you didn't think it would end up being from each other.

approximately half an hour earlier:

"(y/n)." demetri's face flooded your screen, as you were sprawled across your bed. calls were usually a common thing between the two of you now eli was distant.

"demetri.. hey! you okay?" you respond, taking note of his face.

"no." he says, in a deadpan tone.

"umm why? what happened?"

"eli happened."

of course. ever since your best friend since age 6 joined cobra kai, he had felt like a whole new person. he even gave himself a new name for goodness sake! you and demetri both knew it wasn't the real him. you'd known him for too long. that being said - this new persona didn't stop him avoiding you both.

"what did.. what did he do?" you look into your phone camera, worry evident on your face.

"he tried to beat me up! i was at the mall with sam and robby.. and i went to the comic book store.. and he was there. wasn't happy with my yelp review and tried to fight me."

"what the hell." your eyes widen slightly. rage soaring through your veins. what was he playing at? putting on a front to show off to his friends. why didn't he remember who his real friends were?

"i know.. i just can't believe he would do it. we were friends with him!"

"i know.. are you sure you're okay?" you ask, concerned.

"i'm fine.. robby and sam helped fight them off it just.. caught me by surprise."

"i bet it did.. look i'll ring you later, okay? i just need to take care of something."

demetri knew you all too well.

"don't do something you'll regret." he says.

"i won't."

now here you were, shouting at someone that was supposed to be your best friend. the boy you have had a crush on for so many years.

"don't 'excuse me'. you know what you did." you scoff, walking closer to him. you had decided to wait until he had finished karate to talk, it seemed appropriate.

"oh yeah? and what's that?" eli looked at you, his tone cocky.

"you tried to beat up demetri! what are you doing?" you question, looking at him in disgust.

"he shouldn't have put up that yelp review." he scowls.

"oh who cares about a stupid review! he's supposed to be one of your best friends." you say, angrily.

"not anymore. i'm not friends with pussies."

"what the hell is your problem? what.. you gonna ditch us just because we don't want to beat people up like you do?" your voice raises slightly, causing eli's scowl to falter.

"I told you, i'm not friends with weak people." he says.

"are you kidding? seriously! who was the one that used to fight your bullies in elementary? me! who was your first friend? demetri!"

"we're not kids anymore. people change. friendships change. it's not my fault you guys aren't strong enough for this." eli says, looking away from you, his demeanour crumbling.

"you're not like that either. you're putting on an act!" you exclaim.

"an act? the fuck? this is me now, accept it." he shouts.

"what's going on with you?!"

"nothing.. im fine." he says, his eyes searching your face.

"i know you. i know you better than anyone! this isn't you."

"what do you mean?"

"you know what i mean! starting fights with demetri.. ditching us for those idiots.. being so violent. why are you being so violent?" you ask, looking him in the eye.

the pleading in your voice makes his face soften slightly. you always had a way of getting to him. i mean, of course you did, he'd always had a massive crush on you.

"just tell me what's up with you! i care about you. why are you being like this?" you beg.

eli struggles to get his words out. he wanted to reach out, he wanted to hug you. he wanted to go back to yours and watch doctor who with you and demetri. but he coudln't.

"you don't.. you don't know me anymore." he forces out.

your face falls and eli swears he could feel his heart break.

"fine. don't expect me to wait for you anymore." and with that you turn and walk away, a small part of you hoping he stops you.

he doesn't.

he wants to, he really does. but that's not him anymore.

he watches you walking off with a pained expression, knowing hes fucked up. he just can't bring himself to stop you.

Daminette December: 12-I Accept

Damian had only taken two steps onto the school property, in Paris, when he heard the rumors of 'Marinette the Bully'. Damian knew those of his age had a tendency to exaggerate. He decided to see for himself if what they were saying was true and if it was, why had they not been taken care of?

Damian took to watching Marinette over the course of a month and found all the rumors to be false. If she was sitting in the library studying, suddenly she was being called out for pushing someone down in the bathroom. Or if she left during lunch, she had stolen their lunch money and used it for herself.

Damian glared at the ringleader as she cradled her wrist, sobbing how 'Marinette didn't mean to push her down during PE'. Marinette had been nowhere near her when she was found collapsed. The lies were horrible and easily disproven, yet no oen took the time to ask.

He watched as Marinette was shoved into lockers or pushed to the ground, had beverages dumped on her or her homework. The one excuse he heard, repeatedly, was 'If you weren't the jealous type, you would have more friends'.

Marinette never retaliated.

'Why is she letting the abuse continue? She is not the bully; she is the victim.'

"Enlighten me as to why you allow Ms. Rossi to speak falsely of you." Damian spoke, cornering Marinette.

"Ive already explained that she was lying." She sighed, glad at least someone else saw through her bullshit, "Lila is like a parasite that dug her way into their minds. Some of the staff, too. She uses her 'diplomatic mother' for power."

"Those are your friends?" He asked.

"They use to be, for a short while. I'm not new to being bullied and no one did anything about that either." Marinette replied, "One of them wants to work at the Daily Planet and be a journalist, but she just believes everything her best friend says because 'I personally know Lois Lane'."

"She lies to them about helping them in the future: their dreams, their goals....ambitions." Mari sighed, "I'm not good enough for people to listen to. I'm just....the baker's daughter."

Damian scowled, upset that her status was determining her face, "My best friend is the grandson of farmers and his parents work hard. He is not wealthy, but he is honest and will notify me if I have overstepped."

Marinette smiled, "That must be nice."

Damian could see it in her eyes, she was already giving up and accepting this would be her life until graduation.

"May I asked about the 'jealousy theory'?" He questioned.

Mari instantly groaned, "I use to have a crush on Adrien Agreste and they have never let it go! I even helped him get with his girlfriend, even though they broke up later. It's not like I waited for my chance for them to break up; I dated too. Luka was nice, but I was always so busy with work so I broke up with him. It wasn't fair to him to come second to my work; he deserves someone better."

'This could work out very well.'

"Sounds familiar." He spoke.

"Huh?" She asked.

"I propose a.......deal." the young Wayne declared.

"What kind of deal?" Mari questioned.

"I refuse to go to school with morons." He stated.

Marinette giggled, "Too late there."

"I will help you reveal her absurd lies." Damian announced.

"How?" She asked, catching her attention

"I will date you under false pretenses." He spoke, shocking her, " Everything I have heard about her lies relies on your 'jealousy'. We eliminate that from her equation, she will be forced to come up with new lies. New reasons as to why you cannot get along, without making her appear as she herself is the reason for all of this. She will forced to play along with your happiness."

"Fake dating, okay. If we do this, we need ground rules." Marinette spoke, "I don't want to make you uncomfortable and I know you don't like people in your space."

Damian nodded, "I am willing to accommodate to this experience. I will follow your lead."

"Oh! Uh...my dates...never really went well." She shrugged, "We would go to the movies or get ice cream, just the two of us. Luka would hold my hand or let me ride on his bike. That requires physical contact, but I've never been kissed; not that I'm expecting you too!"

"Mutual appreciation?" He asked.

"Yes." Mari sighed that her ramble was dropped.

"I prefer painting." Damian declared.

Mari smiled, "I design outfits. We could always go to the museums or just go on walks for inspiration. You don't have to hold my hand or anything. Your honesty is enough."

Damian stared at the girl in front of him. He wasn't well regarded for his honesty. It was different and appreciated.

"Do we have a deal?" He asked.

"Yes. I accept." Marinette answered.

Scorbus Fanfic recommendations?? Honestly I just want to yap

pt. 1? 🤔

Hide and Seek by ArdenCallaway,

Its not canon compliant and the rumor surrounding Scorpius has changed but its awesome!! It goes through their Hogwarts years, along with some of the other characters, then some of their adult years. It includes ocs that i’ve grown attached to. The Chimera club my beloved… It really makes you feel a lot of things, be prepared for a rollercoaster of emotions if you read! And if you’re a marauders fan theres some nice hints to some of that fandoms popular fanfics i’ve heard. After this fanfic I had a tough time reading other fanfics because it just didn’t feel right… Also it’s incredibly long, it’ll last you a few if you really take your time with it, let it absorb into ur very skin AUGHHH. I think about this fanfic at least thrice a day, it really did leave a mark on me. Well every fanfic here left a mark on me, but this one definitely is more persistent. I think its because I just woke up everyday and read and read this fanfic whenever I could,, felt so empty after I finished it. Like dhmu…

A World of Darkness by KeybladeJediMaster & Yer_Erster,

This one just HURT ME 💔 Poor Albus, he really gets it in this one. Okay think dark alternative timeline BUT Albus doesn’t stop existing. Scorpius is really trying his best in this but i kept thinking he was an idiot(BUT NOT REALLY BC I LOVE SCORPIUS, never ever… im no traitor…)but really, if I was in his place I would freak out and try to immediately run away with my bestie, ending in us both being killed… yea…

So i think the way he went about it was more logical and better than I ever would be in that situation. I have NO IDEA how he was as chill as he was, if Umbridge was carrying away my best friend/lover I WOULD CRASH OUT.

This fic is technically finished? I think there might be more coming out but the latest chapter could read as the end.

It’s a Potter/Malfoy Thing by Asexual_Enjolras (They also have nice oneshots),

This one was what really cemented my hyperfixation with Scorbus, its so heart warming, WHY CANT LOVE BE REAL?! But also because it was some time ago I can’t really remember much of the details, im going based off some of my journal entrees in where I talk of it. This series honestly made my whole summer of last year (yes yes im very new here). Seeing Scorpius be accepted apart of the Potter family was so adorable, so was the second part with Draco. The scorbus in this made me SOO jealous, their bond is so special 😭💗

Building up like waves by dustyspines,

IM NOT GOING TO LIE, my memory has been getting worse and worse I think I’m going to have to reread all of these. But what I remember of this one was how I felt, its shorter than the other ones but really packs a punch. The yearning is just OVERLOAD and Albus is just the realest in this. The writing is incredible and I swear I was feeling what he was feeling. Its like poetry the whole time and is incredibly clever, it has BANGER lines 😭 Honestly whatever I say cant give it justice (with all of the other ones too), its just a masterpiece. Once I started reading I couldn’t stop, it really does lure you in entirely.

5) How To Avoid Bullies; A Series by QueenKatelynTheAristocrat,

Now I barely remember what happened in this because its been SO long, but it is in my favorite Scorbus fic list in my journal, as all these are… But its basically Scorpius and Albus making up a list of rules on how to avoid their bullies. Im going to reread this after I write this because GAWD ive been meaning to. Like I need some co dependent scorbus avoiding their bullies right now instead of being in MATH CLASS. Its not finished and is on the shorter side but I still recommend this 💗

Something worth taking the Time

(Not scorbus, but its focused on them and is incredibly good!), anonymous author

This one isn’t finished yet but so far its been soo promising!! This fanfic is like all i’ve been searching for and more, i’m so thankful I found it when I desperately needed more content of my bouys 😭 I regularly re read recent chapters because it gets me stimming and all happy, scorpius and albus being trapped in a past time period (Golden era or marauders era) is like my favorite genre (SHOULD BE A GENRE I HAVE A PETITION). I hope to eventually make art for it, as well as some other fanfics but i’m just a TOP TIER procrastinator. ITS GONNA HAPPEN THOUGH. It will… mark my words..

I also think about this fanfic like thrice a day. I read it while walking to school everyday too, really gives me the energy to get through the day. Seeing how Albus interacts with his father never fails to make me laugh, or ANYONE really, I swear its like he has a stick up his butt 24/7 I LOVE HIM. But the reason why he’s that way makes me cry, GAWD. Like he’s been acting like he’s in a war before he even came to this past time period and he never lets his guard down because of all the bullying he’s been through, but he’s slowly learning to trust people beyond Scorpius. It just breaks my heart its some people that died in the second wizarding war, LIKE THATS NOT RIGHT. I wonder constantly how he’s going to be in present time without them (yes im being vague, but its a simple process of elimination LMAO). I can continue but I think I might give it its own post at some point ;p

and i see black (while you see white) by inkwellhell

i really don’t remember, Im going to have to re read but I STILL RECOMMEND. Its on my faves list so im sure that it made me feel indescribable things, TRUST MY JUDGEMENT ON THIS even if its been a long time and can’t really say anything besides it being a short recount of hpcc from dark timeline onwards by Scorpius pov ^_^

The Tea Time series by ellizablue,

Not completely finished. I haven’t read the one that hasn’t been finished because I didn’t want to be heartbroken but I know i’ll eventually get to it, I’ve only heard good things of it! I loved Put Your Curse in Reverse, I just finished it, so this will probably be a little more detailed than the others. Honestly Iset was my favorite side character, she deserves SO much more. Everything in this fic just feels so… real?? Like god, everyone was so awesome and had amazing characterization. I wasn’t just looking forward to scorbus in this, everyone had their own stuff going on and it does a really good job at making you care. At some point I just kept waiting for Iset to appear, I WAS #1 FAN. I needed to know what was up with her. Her and Rose are so adorable too. Kills me that shes an oc, SHE NEEDS TO BE CANON NOW!! Sorry this became more of an Iset thing than a Scorbus thing, don’t worry their still very much the focus of this series!

Hope anyone who hasn’t read these who will read them because of this likes them c:

Plus im really desperate for people to discuss these fanfics, I WILL NEVER MISS THE OPPORTUNITY TO YAP ABT MY FAVE FICS. Which is why this exists. Because I saw an opportunity. And I took it. (๑❛ᴗ❛๑) looks at you with my beady innocent eyes.

(this makes more sense because originally this was a reblog but I just decided to make it a post instead, but I don’t want to delete this part so wtv…)

OK SCHOOL OVER, TIME TO GO READ MORE FANFIC BYEEE

[atoriv-art]

what are your thoughts on the hyuga siblings and their relationship

OOF now thats one of my favorite naruto dynamics lmao. i think neji and hinata have a very interesting relationship and i say that as someone who really didn't (and tbh still doesn't) love how that relationship developed in canon

i really like the hyuga fight in the chunin exams because the way it's perceived is sooo interesting to me.. neji comes off as an outright bully and i don't even blame the kids for calling him an asshole after all of that, but from reader's perspective it's really obvious that his animosity only exists because of a larger issue...

neji shouldn't treat hinata the way he does, but he does so because of her unique position as a scorned heir. she still benefits from everything that makes his life awful - her life is still valued more than his - but hiashi hates her enough that he won't care if neji dishes out verbal abuse on her. it's an awful dynamic and definitely contributes to hinata's terrible self-worth, but it's a symptom of the life they have been forced into by the man who the manga is intent on letting escape all of the blame for this situation lmao

(hiashi himself can be a really fascinating case honestly. i think he fully means everything he says, which is what makes him so grating but fun to me LOL. his apology to neji is entirely sincere AND it completely misses the point of all of the issues, but neji is young and deprived of acknowledgement enough that he accepts it wholeheartedly. hiashi thinks he's the best uncle of all time.)

hinata herself has so little belief in her own worth that she just sits there and takes whatever abuse people throw at her... i don't actually think neji's anger towards her was a constant - i think some people interpret it that way - rather i feel like it was something that came up whenever he was pushed too far. in more normal circumstances where he's not being made to fight her directly, he was likely more detached than anything. he wanted nothing to do with her.

in one of the filler mini arcs ive mentioned before (i think. the one that focuses on hanabi and hinata) there's a scene that rang very true to me (and im gonna recount this without rewatching it atm so sorry if i get details wrong,): neji was being made to train with hinata, asked to be allowed to leave because he felt his time was being wasted and correctly noted that it doesn't have to be him here, was told no by hiashi and then he started getting vicious and violent. towards hinata, of course, not hiashi. he then got horribly punished for it LOL i think that's the general dynamic they were living in, neji reaches a limit of disrespect that he can take and explodes on the nearest most acceptable target (we loove a boy with no emotional regulation <3), goes too far and suffers the consequence of it while nothing else changes. to him interacting with hinata at all is just asking for pain, either emotional or straight up physical

But, for hinata, she saw herself and neji as similar (the black sheep of the family i suppose), and would have liked to bond over that fact; theyve known each other since they were very little and she outright refers to him as a brother. it's clear to me she's always cared a lot about neji and imo feels responsible for what happened to his father (something that hiashi doesn't help with. Dad of the year), so she saw their match in the exams as a chance to close the distance between them and get neji to see her as a person, an equal instead of a symbol to lash out on.

but, you know, she was 12 LMAO so she ended up pressing all of his buttons instead and it led to his famous outburst, which led to the famous moment of Every Single Jonin (other than asuma.) coming to stop him and further cementing his belief that her life is seen as special. i think (and this is a mix of Shit I Made up, and Me trying to make sense of the manga's insane mishandling of their plotline) that despite her trying her hardest to reach neji she didn't really grasp the horror of his situation. that's the tragedy of neji's life really LMAO, no one really tries to grapple with the severity of what having that curse mark does to a person. she thought of his fatalism as more of a psychological, metaphorical way of dealing with hurt and not like... "my life literally does not belong to me no matter how much i try to fight it"

this is loooooong take this readmore.

i think hiashi-hizashi were hoping that the cousins could have had a better relationship than they did... letting them hang out often and stuff, introducing them early, hizashi not discouraging neji from being friendly with her, to me it all reads as very "ok well this didn't work for Us, but what if it works out for them... even though literally nothing has changed". they were proper family once and hizashi wanted to die for his brother, not his leader, so that just makes sense to me.

i do nautttt like the naruto vs neji fight so to keep the post positive i will gloss over it <3 but hinata and neji's relationship post-chunin exams to me is peak like. God i wish this was done better because it could have been soooo good

neji realizes that his anger is consuming him and adjusts his behavior accordingly, getting a lot of his kindness back, and he becomes intent on fixing his relationship with hinata... i don't hate that premise at all, it's just the way it's executed that bothers me!

the impression i got (and i could be mistaken im in the process of rewatching the anime + rereading the manga) is that their relationship getting better is done exclusively through like. neji repenting for being mean to her. which, don't get me wrong, he SHOULD apologize (AND THAT WOULDVE BEEN A COOL THING TO SEE ONSCREEN, BTW) but you CANNOT divorce his behavior from the hyuga system in general. from the way they act after the exams you would think their issues were born solely from neji being a bully for no reason, and not, like... him lashing out on her because his uncle is literally the devil.

i don't think hinata has the power to change a lot in her clan on short notice (she did get disowned. did that un-happen offscreen? we will never know. Hiashi gets to be a grandfather to her children btw.) but i certainly would have liked to see her standing up for branch members and in the stuff i draw that's the story i have in mind LMAO. like, her gaining a deeper understanding of neji's situation and trying to work against her father trying to make her cousin's life better? i think that would have been really sweet and even show her gaining more confidence in herself and her beliefs. you can still have neji fussing over her and being protective because he feels bad for how they used to be, i actually really like that because neji IS a very sweet person, i just reject the idea that it's his sole Moral Obligation to put everything aside and make things better by the power of I Will Die For You Now, But This Time, For The Right Reasons

as for hanabi i wish she had more screentime soooo bad because i'm obsessed with how she gives off Haunted Child vibes lmfao. talking abt her requires me to expose myself a little bit and have to admit hiashi is kind of a blorbo to me because of how much he sucks ass, but like. Essentially his insane resentment of hinata was born when hizashi died, it doesnt matter it wasn't really her fault, he needed someone to blame and he would never blame himself, at least not outwardly lol. hiashi did genuinely love his brother, it just didn't stop him from being a monster to him, and he is certainly not gonna grapple with that now that he's dead!

(and, you know, the whole "sorry we sent a guy to kidnap an heir. you do need to die for killing him though" thing is really dumb but if we stop at every single stupid thing in naruto we will be here all day.)

with all that being said i think hiashi tries his best to make hanabi everything hinata isn't, and he has very little interest in having her and hinata have any bond at all. he just left neji and hinata to fester in that god-awful dynamic with no supervising, and took hanabi as the best direction for the clan to head towards. but, you know, father of the year is very demanding and doesn't seem to be very fatherly to her at all from the little we see of them. she's just like. a good soldier, and that's what he needs.

i think hanabi growing to resent her sister for the situation she's been put into (if hinata weren't 'weak' she wouldn't have so much responsibility) is very interesting! by the time we meet her i think she's learned that the best thing to do wrt her sister is to just ignore that she exists. as for neji he barely registers as a presence to her; neji has no reason to interact with her and hiashi has no reason to incentivize it. it's very fun to me!

in general i really like all of their dynamics can be used to explore how hurt and trauma drive people apart, i could talk about them for hourssss LMAO i love the suna family for the same reason!

[mrradmccoolman]

something interesting i've been thinking about lately is the fact that watching dead poets society for the first time, i thought todd would be the one to commit suicide. i can't remember whether i knew one of the characters would going in, or only after my teacher mentioned it as a trigger warning right before the scene (i watched it in class my junior year). i say im getting back into the fandom, but really, i wasn't quite in it before this. in truth, the movie affected me so deeply that i actually avoided it because i didn't know how to handle it (this, along with forgetting seemingly insignificant details about emotional experiences- like whether i knew going in that one of the characters would die or not- happens...concerningly often, and im not sure if it's indicative of a larger problem or if i want to know).

needless to say, i did remember recently that i had assumed todd would be the one to die, and i increasingly believe this is actually not an uncommon belief that new viewers have going in. why is this? well, there are a few obvious and not-so-obvious reasons that i want to go over.

for one, todd is probably the main protagonist of the movie. the other poets are certainly main characters too, but for the most part, we follow todd's journey at Welton from beginning to end. it wouldn’t be irrational to assume that such an important event would happen to him solely due to this fact.

more than that, todd is arguably the most obviously struggling out of all the poets to the naked eye. he has all the hallmarks of a person with low self-esteem and a veritable heft of familial, educational, and social problems. he's crippilingly shy, anxious, and always uncomfortable; he has a hard time connecting with his peers, difficulty coming out of his shell, and cowers under the burden of unreachable expectations from parents who can't seem to pay attention to him as anything other than second best compared to their eldest son. though it isn't ever outwardly shown, it isn't hard to imagine he's a victim of bullying and/or harassment- in fact, though i don't believe the poets would ever bully anyone, they clearly sense his "otherness" as shown by Cameron's comment in the beginning of the movie. even neil doesn't understand him at first, and it takes time for him to really grasp how bad things are for todd. i don't believe todd's parents' reasons for pulling him out of Balincrest are every directly specified, but ive always thought a big part of it could be that he was being picked on by the other students (along with his parents hope that transferring him to Welton would make him succeed like his brother).

i don't know if by the time i was watching neil's scene with his parents after the play that i really knew, completely, what was coming. i think by then i knew it wouldnt be todd to die, but i hadn't fully accepted that neil would in his stead. there was a sort of comfort in feeling like i knew what would happen, only for the movie to pull the rug out from beneath me and leave me devastated. not that i would've been less sad if todd had died- just that, when neil did, and i could ruminate on the signs shown through the rest of the movie and the grief and the direness of the situation, i was left reeling at the suddenness.

of course, looking back on it, it makes complete sense that it would be neil. knowing his situation, his history, and his personality, it seemed painfully obvious. but i only really realized that after the fact, like i imagine the poets did as well.

ive already mentioned quite a few times on this blog neil's depression and how things were for him, including his relationship with his father, but that's because i find it especially painful in the way i can relate. i imagine a neil who has been struggling with depression since he was very young, crushed under the weight of a father who had planned out who he was meant to be since his birth. a neil who doesn't understand why he's so damn empty all the time, who doesn't speak up because he fears what it means. a neil who has all these feelings about boys that he shouldn't, that finally come to a head when he connects with todd and he can't ignore them anymore. a neil who loves his father, who wants to make him proud. a neil begging somebody, anybody to listen, but his words fall on deaf ears. he is not an adult. he has no control. there is no one to save him, no one to help him. he is trapped. every light has been snuffed out.

i wouldn't hesitate to say that by now, most people are at least aware of the fact that depression manifests in many different ways, some less obvious than others. on the surface, it's easy to view neil as one of those people- he's smiley, focused, talented; he has a group of friends that love him, things he's passionate about, a family who wants what they believe is best for him. he's the textbook definition of somebody who doesn't seem like they'd have issues with mental health.

but...that's not true. maybe for the teachers who barely talked to him, or the families who met him in passing and told their own sons to strive to be like him, but anyone who'd spent more than an hour talking to him who knew about depression would be able to recognize something wrong. he's somehow both responsible and also completely reckless with no regard to the consequences, as if his own life is a game he can play with. his interactions with his own family are stilted and awkward. he gets angry and lashes out like a trapped animal when questioned; the few times he does open up, he speaks with the desperation of a boy prisoner in his own mind. he connects so deeply to todd because he relates to him, because he feels understood by him. he willfully ignores his future and it's implications because when he finally faces it, he knows it will be too much for him to bear.

and it's this, perhaps, that makes it so incredibly frustrating that everything culminated in his decision to commit suicide- because there were signs, clear as day, over and over and over and over and nobody did anything about it. the only people who really tried, directly, didn't have the power or the knowledge to change anything for him. it was so preventable. the movie leaves you breathless with anger at how different things could have been.

i genuinely want to hear everyone else's thoughts/perceptions on this, because i find it really interesting and part of what makes the film so emotional.

(!YAN kabukimono x reader)

note: ahaujsjwjwia its veen a while since ive last posted srry yall

Cw: High school au, Loser/bullied kabukimono, reader is very oblivious to kabukis feelings, reader uses they/them, unhealthy themes (yandere)

Kabukimono is known as the loser at your school, nobody would talk to him.. and everybody just found him kinda off.. he had only one friend but they quickly turned their backs on him and then left him all alone. He felt empty after that. Almost everybody hated him he couldnt blame them. He hated himself as well. After that he just kinda let his bullies bully him.. its not like he can do something about it. Right?.. he heard many students gossip about a new student? Huh how strange and continued to went on with his day.. everyday was just the same anyway. He would go to school, the bullies torment him, class goes on, he eats alone, more class and then he walks home alone. the teachers are starting to get worried about him as well, i mean he does get bullied everyday..

Meanwhile after finding out youre moving schools you were upset. Why just why?!!!?! Why are you guys going to move again!! This is just ridiculous.. youre already getting comfortable in your old school.. now you guys are moving again?! But you didn't say a word and instead locked yourself in your room,

You guys edventually move out of your house and then after the next 4 days, you go to your new school, you saw this boy with indigo eyes.. and he was just.. looking at you.. how strange, you edventually introduce yourself and then you heard students gossiping about you.. you didnt know if they were good, or if they were bad but you hoped it was good.. the teacher then sat you next to the boy with the indigo eyes.. you then say hi and he responded with a "hello." He said awkwardly.. he really was a strange one but maybe youre just.. assuming things.

Meanwhile.. he thought you looked.. attractive, he thought he finally found his light, the thing that could finally fill his empty heart and soul. And make him feel alive again. He then said "hey, youre new here, correct?" You turn to look at him and gave him a nod "whats your name?" He then replied with "kabukimono." It was kinda awkward but you then started to talk before class actually started, he actually seemed like a nice boy, and he seemed super cool!, you then asked if he could show you around and he nodded.. during break he showed you around the school.. it really was fun talking to him

"Hey, i was wrong about you.. you seem like a nice boy" you said with a small smile, he then smiled back at you and said "its no problem, i'll be glad to help" , you asked if you two could be friends and he accepted obv, as days goes by you started to get more and more popular, and kabukimono started to get more clingier.. he started to overthink.. what if you leave him? What if you betray him like they did.. what if--"Kabukimono! Youre zooning out again!" You said "apologies what were you saying?" You then said in a worried tone " you keep on zooning out.. and you look scared tell me what happened.." he couldnt tell you.. as time went on.. he continued to be more clingier and more obsessed with you.. he couldnt stand seeing you with anybody anymore. he wanted your eyes on him only him so he decided to "protect" you and keep you away from this disgusting and evil word . So only you could stare at him. Only him

You woke up inside of a basement with kabukimono staring at you with hearts inside his eyes "(Reader) youre finally awake!" He was smiling like a little boy.. its so unhinged and creepy.. "kabuki.. what.. where am-" he then "shh"ed you and then said "don't worry about it (reader) from now on.. you'll only have your eyes on me!" ♡

How do you think the digital circus crew would react to a new member who genuinely to want to stay and doesn't want to leave at all?

TADC cast x reader who doesnt wanna leave the circus !

i lied about the previous post being the nights last post, imma spit out one more before i call it a night!! hope this is okay anon, this one may be a little on the short side; maybe.. i always write these notes before everything and forget to edit them accordingly

wrote this as general reactions instead of platonic/romantic/whatever relationship stuff! i like to imagine reader says this when the topic of trying to find an exit comes up... like imagine the atmosphere the looks the !!

CAINE:

hey i mean, hes not gonna stop you from not leaving! caines part is a little weird, since ive seen so many theories on his whole deal and i like them all, i cant settle on just one idea and roll with it... i think he would be thrilled that you want to stay, though.. doesnt have to remind you there is no escape because youre not interested in it... i think he would casually ask why you dont want to leave, though, its not often he finds someone whos content, at least not content without the loss of hope

POMNI:

she was the one who brought up trying to find an exit, again.. she kind of just looks at you with confusion written all over her face. she asks you if you meant that you have given up on trying to escape. you assure her that you just dont want to leave, giving up has nothing to do with it. she just gapes her mouth, before closing. blinks twice, and just asks why. why stay in a program like this? you cant provide an answer that seems to appease her, though... definitely some weird and confused looks from her

RAGATHA:

she doesnt know what to think of it. ragatha herself has come to terms with her position. like sure if there were a plan to escape that truly seemed like it would work, i think she would jump on it and try to leave.. i dont think she would pry you for answers, she believes you have your own personal reasons

JAX:

honestly i dont think he would care, assuming this is as i said in the note above where the topic of escape comes up and you guys arent dating or like best friends. i mean its your life and hes not going to argue with you, if you wanna be stuck in this shithole thats your business. oddly enough doesnt use it as ammo against you, though, and he bullies everyone over just about anything... maybe he cant come up with a cool nickname that makes sense, or otherwise find a way to make fun of you... but. idk

KINGER:

i think kinger would like to escape but i think he just accepted hes going to be stuck here forever. now if he had someone to fight for and be with and they wanted to leave, he would follow them. otherwise hes content with staying put because he doesnt have much incentive or desire remaining to leave. being there for years and seeing so many people fall does that to a person

ZOOBLE:

very similar to jax, in the case that its your business, of course this is assuming you guys arent close to one another. theyre not going to lecture you on how to go about your life. nothing to say here that wasnt already said in jax's segment

GANGLE:

gives you a soft and meek "but why" when you speak up to the group that you dont plan on leaving when pomni brings the topic up. you offer a shrug, or just say you dont want to leave. true utter confusion, and in a dark way believes that you prefer this world over the real one; even when your memories are smeared and burned, if any remain at all

[eternalera]

the sad thing about hazbin is that its such a good concept but the more and more you think about it the more it falls apart just entirely. cause ive been thinking about the angels and heaven and hell and it just... doesnt make sense. if the angels are 'bad grrrr evil' why do you want to send your people there? who's to say that they won't be treated badly there? what about the people that they'e harmed there? how would they feel about seeing their potential killers/bullies in heaven? isnt the point of heaven knowing that theres no one bad there? the world isnt black and white, they had chances while they were alive to do good right? why should they get a third one after they realize the consequences? isn't that unfair? is there a point where they can't be redeemed any longer? is there a limit to redemption? what about hilter? could he hypothetically be redeemed by the hotel? they cant turn sinners away so theyd have to accept him right? what about valentino? how would angel feel about that? why are we so focused on sera approving the extermination when she was doing it to protect heaven but not lucifer who didnt give a shit about hell until his daughter talked him into it? why does he get a pass? is it because of that one framing with fire in sera's eyes? what if you put that in lucifers eyes? would people try to justify him?

it just... crumbles and i know they didnt have a lot of time but like... come on. i dont hate vivzipop at all in fact i really do like hazbin but i can only like it to a surface level is the problem. if i dig deeper than it crumbles and thats... not fun. i like helluva boss and personally... i think its better than hazbin it has such better writing despite being in the same universe but those concerns dont really apply because guess what? theyre never brought up.

anyways yeah... i hate that i cant truly appreciate hazbin without running into complications

Things my brother said whilst watching NPMD

[ghost-of-a-teenager]

A lot of mha characters are headcannoned as being gay but theres only a few who I personally think are gay/put in gay ships so uh here

Bakuhoe:

Okay this boy...this boy is the gayest ass bitch Ive ever seen. He's got a cvnty looking waist, shares his mothers cup size, wears eyeliner, and is a sassy asshole. Also that whole thing he's got going on with Kiri? Like sir? You never wear a tie and would rather die then be touched by, be seen with, or be friends with "extras" and yet you go to a party wearing a matching suit with your "best friend" and you also let him be touchy touchy with you and you CALL HIM BY HIS NAME UNLIKE EVERYONE ELSE...hehe thats gay

Kiri:

*aggressively deep breath before I yell*

HE'S SO FUCKING GAY ISTFG AGHHH okay Im totally fine anyway I feel like he was straight until he met Bakugo and then boom gay awakening and he just kinda accepts it and decides that he's gonna do everything in his goddamn power to make this man his bf even if said boy ends up trying to kill him for it

Hawks:

He's not a queer he's a bisexual thats all I have to say don't argue with me.

Denki:

Another boy who just radiates bisexual energy for me. I feel like he definitely leans towards women but would not hesitate to badly flirt with a guy if he thought he was cute

Jirou:

...I lowkey think she's a lesbian...like ma'am Im sorry but you cant look at Momo's tits and blush and think Im letting you get off the gay suspicion list, plus its just her whole style for me, shes so lesbo coded. Also the way she bullies like all of the guys is also giving lesbian, gay boys are so sweet to girls but lesbians just bully people, I know this because I have way too many gay friends

Saavik headcanons - 

As promised, here they are! It’s not that much, but those just live rent free in my head. 

When the rescue vessel first arrived at Vulcan, Amanda came to the spaceport to greet Sarek and Spock. This was Saavik’s first encounter with her, and she instinctively clocked her as a trustworthy figure. In the early days of her Vulcan education, she would pull up the ta’al toward Amanda with a smile, rather than a neutral expression, having not yet learned emotional control. She still tends to show her emotions more around Amanda (who is a very happy grandma) (This is the image i have basically: 🖖🙂)

Considering the conditions of starvation in her childhood on Hellguard, Saavik encountered a plethora of health difficulties: Namely, her immune system was not built for bacteria native to Vulcan, and she fell ill in the first few weeks she spent there with Spock before they moved to Dantria IV. Her bone density is also significantly lesser than the average vulcan, a result of the lack of certain nutrients and proteins in her alimentation as a very young child. Her genetics still makes her stronger and more resistant than a human, but much less than a full-blooded, healthy Vulcan. She is also among the shorter percentiles in terms of heights.

On the plus side, she is not a picky eater at all. Her curiosity applies also in the matters of gastronomy and she enjoys discovering new foods and manners of preparing them. She insisted that Spock teach her how to program replicators (Spock asked Jim’s help on that, because he knows more about replicator code than even Spock does)

She more than once spooked Spock in the middle of the night, allowing him to discover that Vulcan’s secondary eyelids acted much like an earth cat’s tapetum lucidum, reflecting the light and glowing. He had never noticed it in his peers, having not spent much time with them in the night, and had to hold back an emotional reaction when she simply wanted his help to grab a glass of water at 2 am. 

Saavik also took a long time before she trusted people enough to fall asleep near them. She would always curl herself up in the corner of her bedroom, and to help her Spock placed her bed farthest from the door, while also making sure in case of danger she could escape by the window. The first time she fell asleep on the living room floor from exhaustion after reading one too many datatape was extremely endearing for Spock. He got the chance to carry her to her bed. 

Spock had to learn to take care of her curls, and would facetime with Uhura in the late hours of Dantria IV’ night to get advice. Saavik would sit on the living room floor and he’d carefully untangle her curls with a wide toothed comb nearly every night until she began doing it herself. 

Once she joined Vulcan school after the year on Dantria IV with Spock, she often got teased for the green color of her eyes, her peers likening it to blood and trying to elicit an emotional response out of her. Sometimes it worked and she’d fight them off, sometimes she threatened to get Ambassador Sarek’s rightful power (I dont wanna say anger) on their parent’s career. (might as well use her adopted nepotism against bullies)

During her first year at the Academy, Saavik let the others, mostly human students, assume that she was just fully Vulcan. After the events of The Pandora Principle, she began cryptically correcting that she was Half-Vulcan, like her father, bringing about school gossip about her parentage. Once it became widely known she was Spock’s child, the gossip shifted on whether or not professor Spock had her with a random human woman or if he and professor Kirk found a way themselves. (The gossip about the professors at the academy must be fire) 

When she got accepted in the Academy baseball league, she began reading up on all the aspects of the sport, to a point where she could quote stats from players who played back in the 20th century. 

In Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, her hair is actually straightened, in an effort of seeming more Vulcan to the human crew during her first starship assignment. After Spock’s loss, she cannot bring herself to continue straightening them, hence her curls return in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. I also think Uhura helped her with the do she had during the funeral ceremony. (The volume sorta reminds me of Uhura’s TOS hair.)

That’s all for now!

advice on how to give writing advice

im tryna help my friend write a book cuz they asked me to but now im kinda confused on how they want to be helped??

like ive tried just giving tips on what to do and writing advice i find helpful, other people have found helpful, or i think they may find helpful, but then they would be like "can you write it pwetty pwease"

so then i tried just editing using suggest mode (basically whatever i do turns into a comment where you can see the difference and accept, so it changes to what i did, or reject, so it goes back to how it was before) and they said that it was too much of my writing in their book

which like, yeah, i get it. its your book and you don't want me taking over it, but you still want my help... so what do you want me to do??

"less of your writing" isn't an answer cuz wtf does that mean?? how do i measure that?? how do i know what to leave and what to edit??

and they said my writing is "too fancy" which AGAIN, i understand. my writing style is different so i tried using simpler words but they still didn't like it

idk, im kinda confused and need advice on what to do and how to help them write without "writing too much" while still helping more than just giving advice cuz they were confused and now so am i :,)

here are some stuff i suggested (under cut so it's not a long ass post) in case its necessary for the context or smth idk

It began to pour heavily.

The sound of raindrops hitting the window gradually grew louder as they ate, Bryce’s Grandma making small talk with Alex, as a parent would with their kids.

2. Alex mumbled a quick apology and awkwardly made his way to an empty desk, sitting down with a sigh. Mr. Scone went back to rambling on about the lesson, as if nothing had happened.

The open seat happened to be next to Bryce, the one person Alex could not stand. Bryce and his friends have been bullying Alex ever since the semester started, he never knew why. Bryce then scooted a bit closer to Alex with a smug look. 

“Can’t get enough of me?” Bryce teased. 

“Shut up.” Alex replied, still looking to the front of the classroom. 

Bryce scooted his chair even closer. 

“Someone’s mad.” Bryce teased. Alex decided to just ignore him and focus on his teacher’s lecture about math. He couldn’t bear failing, especially if Bryce was the reason. 

“Hey, I'm talking to you.” Bryce scoffed, taking his avoidance personally.

“Fuck off,” Alex answered.

“Make me,” Bryce added.

Alex stopped paying attention to Bryce; no matter how annoying he was, Alex couldn’t let him win. Alex grabbed an eraser and threw it at Bryce, hitting him in the face. 

“What the hell?” Bryce scowled. Alex chuckled briefly.

The rest of the class crawled, Alex all too aware of Bryce’s gaze on him, but he continued to ignore it, until the bell finally rang. Everyone hurried to get out the door, Alex following even though he didn’t have a next class to get to. He went to his usual spot in an empty classroom, where he normally read until his next class, Chemistry.

2. Alex mumbled a quick apology and awkwardly made his way to an empty desk, avoiding everyone’s gaze as he walked by and sat down, sighing heavily. Mr. Scone went back to the lesson.

The open seat happened to be next to Bryce, the one person Alex could. Not. Stand.  

Bryce and his ‘gang’ had been relentlessly bullying Alex for months. There wasn’t even a good reason! They just found whatever they could and turned it into a weapon to use against him. Even though it was a group effort, Alex knew that it was mainly the work of Bryce. 

He had hated Alex for years, but now he actually had the support to make it known. friends have been bullying Alex ever since the semester started, he never knew why. Bryce then scooted a bit closer to Alex with a smug look. 

Bryce leaned over, a smug expression on his stupid face. “Can’t get enough of me?” He teased. 

“Shut up.” Alex replied, stubbornly refusing to give Bryce the time of day and pretending to pay attention to what Mr. Scone was rambling on about at the front of the classroom. 

Bryce moves his chair a few inches so he could lean closer, just to get under Alex’s skin. “Aw, someone’s mad,” he said in a sing-song voice, noticing how Alex’s annoyance grew.   

When Alex doesn't answer, Bryce scoffs, his smirk falling as he starts glaring at him. “I know you heard me.”

“Fuck off,” Alex answered.

“Make me,” he retorted.

Alex grabbed an eraser and waited for the teacher to look away. He then threw it at Bryce, which hit him on the side of his cheek. It bounced away, almost like it was running from the situation that Alex now found himself in.

“What the hell?” Bryce scowled. Alex chuckled briefly before ‘paying attention’ to the lesson, now ignoring Bryce, even as he glared at him.

The remaining time crawled by, Alex just trying to focus despite how he could feel Bryce burning holes in the side of his head. 

Eventually, after over an hour of pain and suffering, the bell finally rang. The class rushed out, all too eager to get out of the hell-hole called math class. Alex hurried out as well, mostly to avoid a confrontation with Bryce. Today was already bad enough and the last thing that he needed was him breathing down his neck. He headed to the empty classroom he always sat in on the other side of the school. Nobody ever went there and most people weren’t aware of its existence, making it the perfect place for Alex to read or do homework in peace.

idk, advice would be nice if anyone has any. thanks for reading :)

> random bakugo rant

ive seen a lot of hate regarding bakugo's character development, and though i understand most people's viewpoint, we have to remember that bakugo was inheritly a kid that was taught high expectations from early on, he was praised since young, taught that his worth came from his abilities. either he was the best, or he was nothing. he had a mentality where you were all or none. he never had any room for failure admist all that, so he couldn't grow to accept the fact that izuku was better. and by disregarding bakugo's development as much haters do, you're disregarding izukus strength. the whole fandom sees izuku as weak, which is inheritly wrong. izuku was strong, not because he had OFA, not because he had All Might beside him, but because he kept going no matter what was in front of him. and Bakugou loathed that, because all he saw was strength. and he couldn't bear the fact that Izuku held his head up high regardless of how physically weak he was. it didnt make sense to him, so he tried to wear Izuku's strength down, by bullying him, by lowering his worth. and it still didn't work. because izuku would always be stronger, and you know what the strongest thing izuku did was? it was forgiving Bakugou. the reason why Bakugou could never be as strong as izuku was because he was scared of being weak. but izuku was weak, yet he still kept going. and because of that, Bakugo thought he was looking down on him. Bakugous journey is accepting that, its trying to change all he was taught his entire childhood. and its not easy to do that, when you've had your ego held up high your entire life, when your mindset was shifted to only being of worth. all he was is a scared 15year old, growing into someone that can come to understand their flaws and make amends for it.
