Shinra understands me so well. Or, maybe I should say: Ryohgo Narita has created a character that displays some of my most difficult to explain/come across traits in a way that isn't too hard to swallow (in my opinion anyway; lots of people aren't a fan.)

The disconnect from the people around me in favor of my partner isn't something most people really... Get. And a lot of times, people think I'm exaggerating when I say certain things, or do certain acts. Everyone says "I would do anything for you." That's normal. But, it's also normal to have a small clause tacked on that says Well obviously not everything. There are some things you cannot reasonably expect from a partner, and that's perfectly good and normal. It should be that way, I think, in most cases.

I do not have that meter. My way of loving is sheer, blind devotion. 24/7. Everything I do, I do completely for her. Without question. Specifically for this topic, I'm nice with her friends because that's what makes her happy. I play games with them and talk with them and share things about myself because she wants me to be a part of her social life. She wants people to meet me (because she loves me so much!) and I want to give her what she wants. She's the only thing ever on my mind. Day in, day out, with no breaks. I like it that way.

It took a while and some context for the people around me to finally go "Ah. This makes sense now." I'm not John Mulaney out here. It isn't performative, it's just how I'm wired, but it's at such a level that people maybe don't... Believe me? At first? I'm not sure.

I'm not actively malicious, I just don't really make friends, because I'd rather be with her. The people around me are just soundboards that I can talk to about my partner (and luckily, she is so liked by so many that this often works great for me). I do like to talk! I like to interact with people, sort of, if it means I get to express what's on my mind (SOMETIMES it isn't Celty. Sometimes). I don't hate her friends. I know them all pretty well, but that doesn't mean anything to me. If they all completely disappeared, I'd only be upset because Celty would be upset.

I come off as kind of intense because of it. I don't mean to, not really. It's so normal to me that I don't even really think about it. The term aplatonic has been really helpful, I guess. Just... The way it's been displayed in Shinra is really, really... Good? I guess? It gives me something to point at to help explain that No, it's not really that I don't like you, my mind is just preoccupied and I am not going to go about unoccupying it for you.

Wow! Jeez! Anyway! Shinra is really important to my identity. He's my favorite of my kins, and I find a lot of comfort in him. ^^ I appreciate how he's written. A part of me feels very, very seen with him. Sorry for the brain dump everyone!

honestly i'm surprised by the fact the kidnappers brought babs' wheelchair along??

they obviously know she's a wheelchair user/incapable of walking, but i doubt that at least one of these goons couldn't just carry her, esp. since they lugged her wholeass wheelchair

power wheelchairs like babs' weigh at least 50lbs (~22.6kg) but can go upwards of 200lbs (~90kg). if they can lug that into a van and then into a building, then i'm sure just carrying babs wouldn't be an issue

they could've just left it behind and random bystanders would've seen something like

or they could've even damaged/destroyed the wheelchair, and babs would be out a couple hundred (if not thousand) dollars replacing it. they could've probably used that as leverage against commissioner gordon too with a whole, "we've got your daughter. wrecking her chair was first—she's next," kinda shtick and spiel

but nope!

they brought the whole wheelchair and let her sit in it LMAO

these are either the nicest or the dumbest criminals i've read about since tim's kidnapping 😂😂😂

john mulaney going to the sketchy trailer lot at the local carnival to get prescription drugs like "WHY IS YOUR ASSISTANT ALWAYS SLEEPING, DOCTOR CALIGARI, IS HE DEAD"

[shortazn97]

I believe during the strikes he also said he "didn't support striking" and then after massive criticism, he was on the picket lines, presumably because his PR team made him do it.

He does try to say it's because he was frustrated they couldn't talk about the show he just finished filming, but it feels like an extremely flimsy excuse when he straight up says "I don't support striking".

If I may ask...

Thoughts on Miguel taking on his partner's last name if/when married? I can see it, personally, but I want to know your opinion on the matter.

-Hydration anon

I kinda rambled sorry lol

CW: slight angst just bc I talk about Gabri. This can be x reader or whatever ship you want lol

I’m thinking a lot of it would be influenced by his trauma and what he’s been through. I feel like he might get to a point where O’Hara becomes something he heavily associated with his family and especially his daughter. He might wanna take his partner’s last name to avoid having to think about that sort of thing.

On the other hand, I can see him wanting to keep it for similar reasons, he didn’t want to lose that part of himself, he doesn’t want to become disconnected from his daughter in that way.

I can also see him being a very traditional kinda guy and if his partner is a woman he might be more inclined to keep his last name. If his partner was a man I don’t think he’d have much of a preference.

I think he would be excited if his partner wanted to take his last name, and he would be equally excited if he took their last name.

His favorite part about taking their last name would be being able to introduce himself as Mr. [Their Last Name]. And if they took his he would love hearing them introduce themselves as Mrs/Mr. O’Hara.

Oh and there’s also the option of combining last names Their Last Name-O’Hara and vise versa.

He definitely loves saying “that’s my wife/husband” like John Mulaney haha

There's a Thief! Loose! In the Draigo Stronghold!

A/N: No one knows what the thief is going to do next! Least of all the thief! (parodied from comedian John Mulaney) Comedy aside, we're actually getting to the "thief" part of TWatT. You have no idea how long I've been waiting to make that horse loose in a hospital joke.

----------

It was surprisingly easy to get close to the Draigo stronghold unseen. Sure, his employer had said they wouldn’t be paying much attention to the east entrance with the Council meeting in session, but Rift had to admit that he’d had his reservations about just… walking up to the building. He’d even gone to the trouble of putting on the disguise and getting into character hours before drawing near the stronghold, for fear of running into some far-flung patrol.

His employer had been correct, though. Nobody was paying much attention to the east entrance. The solitary guard minding it even wished him good morning as he went past! The Draigo truly were confident that their reputation would keep would-be thieves and assassins away.

The smart ones, anyway.

Rift absently palmed a small, round, flat metal object from one of the many hidden pockets on his person. A number of these strange objects had been gifted to him by his employer, with instructions that he place all of them around the stronghold before the Council meeting ended. He had not asked what the purpose of the objects was, and his employer had not elaborated, only given a stern reminder before they parted ways.

He flicked his wrist, and the object skipped across the ground, stopping against the wall near the guard. The guard didn’t notice, and Rift continued walking, consciously putting a purposeful bounce in his step.

Loop around the north side of the stronghold first, make a pass at the Council chambers—and if possible, get one of the objects under the door—plant the remaining objects as close to the chambers as possible, and keep one on hand for outside the archives. The idea was to concentrate the Draigo at the Council chambers and fool them into thinking they were under attack.

Those particular instructions had piqued Rift’s curiosity as to what, exactly, the objects would do. He supposed as he made his way towards the north side of the stronghold, that he would find out soon enough.

He dropped another object into a fancy-looking vase as he passed. The clicking sound it made echoed strangely through the mouth, and he winced, hurrying on his way. Not many Draigo around to notice, but still…

As Rift drew close to the west side of the stronghold, to the building where the Council chambers lay, the sounds of arguing drew his attention. He paused, head cocked, trying to locate the source of the voices. Up ahead… around the side of the building, maybe?

The voices grew louder and more heated as he drew closer.

“…not Marcella. Let me speak to Maelyn, then!”

“Miss Sorro is accompanying the Justice Head in the meeting. You will simply have to wait.”

A muffled thud, followed by a muttered curse.

“De Silv, if you do not compose yourself, I will have to see you out.”

“You can’t—!”

“…is everything alright over here?” Rift rounded the corner and paused, a carefully crafted look of concern on his face. Two elves, both facing away from him, flinched and whirled around, twin looks of surprise on their faces.

The elf furthest from him, with silvery hair, exhausted eyes and what appeared to be a bruise on the side of his face, recovered first. “Yes, of course,” he said softly, running a hand through his hair and wincing as he brushed the bruise. “I apologize for my outburst. It… it has been a long few days without rest. I am simply… frustrated. My message is incredibly urgent.”

“So you’ve made clear,” the other elf muttered. Raising his voice, he addressed Rift. “Thank you for your concern, lord…?”

“Theodoric Graves,” Rift supplied, giving a small bow. “From the far east stronghold on business. And I must apologize for intruding on your discussion, but I’ve only just arrived myself… is the Council in session?”

The silver-haired elf grimaced. “Correct.”

Rift nodded. “That would explain why the place is all but deserted.” He crossed his arms and glanced around the corner to the entrance of the building. “Any clue when the meeting’s ending?”

The elves glanced at each other before the other elf, who appeared to have some authority, answered. “I’m afraid I do not know, Lord Graves.”

“Ah. Well, thanks anyway.” Rift turned as if to leave before pausing and glancing back. “By the way… de Silv, was it?” He tapped the side of his face, mirroring the location of the silver-haired elf’s bruise. “You might want to get that looked at. It’s beginning to swell.”

De Silv blinked, his hand automatically reaching up and probing the wound. “I…” he stammered, “Thank you for your concern, sir, but it’s not as bad as it looks.”

Rift shrugged. “I’ll take your word for it. It’s your wound after all.” He turned away, another object discretely slipping out of his hand. “I think I’ll head over to the archives, in case someone comes along looking for me.” It landed on the ground with barely a sound, and Rift casually walked off, leaving the elves to continue their heated discussion.

By the time he finally began making his way south, towards the archives, he only had one object left on his person, with plenty of time to find his target. Celestials willing, anyway.

[felixferitas]

he watches the odd game of musical chairs occurring on venetia's plate, the food rotating 'round and around on the plate but never making it past his sister's lips. felix doesn't say anything to her though, because they've had that talk and today felix has to pick his battles. battles he's actually capable of winning, mind you. he lifts his brows when venetia singles him out, words truthful and cutting amongst the din of silverware and background conversation. "what are you trying to say, vee? that i'm like peter pan and the lost boys?" it's a thought that's occurred to him before. but going about finding better company was easier said than done, especially with their current track record. girls had to grow up so much faster than boys. even with his own horrid track record with women, felix understands this much. "what do you think i should do, then? can't exactly start hanging out with the henrys, can i." god, the notion of it puts a chill in his bones.

Venetia is doing her own imitation of eating, though she's certainly far more experienced at it than Felix. There's a plate in front of her laden with a full English breakfast, and she carefully goes at it with her knife and fork, mincing the sausage, chasing the potato around the porcelain, only stopping to bring a bite to her mouth when she catches someone's eye at the table. She'd learnt from a young age that those at Saltburn that watched you the closest were never the sort of people to actually confront you. "Felix, let me ask you a question," she says airily, licking her fork and then pointing it at him with just a hint of the smug smile she wants to let loose. "Is an unlocked door an invitation? Is an open door an invitation? It seems like your little boys struggle with these basic concepts." With a shrug, she pokes the center of her eggs and watches the yolk spill out. "No, the problem isn't with the method; it's with your sad excuses for friends."

I Wanted To Leave by SYML

[dracosollicitus]

(CW: Subtance Abuse) A lot of people on this hellsite (rightfully) look up to John Mulaney for a number of reasons, so with the news of his return to rehab to handle SUD-related issues, please be kind to yourself and to anyone you know who’s struggling with addiction.

Addiction is not a weakness or a character flaw. Sobriety is often a lifelong endeavor. John Mulaney has been candid about his substance abuse in the past; he’s been working on his sobriety for over 15 years. He isn’t any weaker for a relapse, and his desire to go into rehab is commendable and honestly brave. He is absolutely still a person to look up to: his worth as a person has not “changed” with this revelation.

Addiction is isolating in regular conditions. Given the hell year we’ve had, where our existence has become even further defined by distance and isolation, people who are struggling with substance abuse and addiction are probably even more isolated than ever. Be kind to yourself, and be kind to any loved ones who are feeling isolated or struggling with SUD.

For US friends, here’s the SAMHSA resources page — their referral service doesn’t require insurance and is completely confidential. If you don’t have insurance, they can get you in contact with state sponsored offices; they also have a directory to search for programs.

(If anyone has more info on how to seek counseling and rehab for addiction with/without insurance, please add it in the notes!)

While I wish John Mulaney the best as a fellow human and want to thank him for all the happiness he’s brought me with his comedy, I don’t want him to work on his sobriety simply because I want to hear his next comedy special. I don’t want anyone’s battle for sobriety to be framed in terms of how they can return to their normal function, to their “usefulness” to society. I just want him to be happy and healthy with his wife and his dog and himself, full stop. I’d like to remind everyone that nobody — Mulaney, me, or the person reading this — ever, ever owes anyone a joke or a smile.

Stay safe and healthy this winter !

[usefullquail]

If i see one more person on twitter saying shit like "people have too much faith in 40 year old cis men" i'm going to explode. Like fucking. Sorry I found John Mulaney funny and liked to think he wouldn't fucking hate me for being trans. You're so right me and every other trans person should just assume the people we look up to hate our guts.

Like its obviously really, really dissappointing but trying to be all "superiour" is. Frustrating. I'm trans and WAS a massive, massive John mulaney fan. Does that mean I'm stupid and naive? Because I found a comedian with funny jokes funny and didn't think he'd be transphobic?

I'm tired of celebs being outed as shitty and people who were never fans or had any investment into the person taking some high ground for not being "tricked" and blaming fans for not "seeing through the veil".
