#let him feel even more guilty

[ramssby]

I love snarry fics set in 8 year were Snape survived but he feels wretched and lost by the fact of having to continue living and then some shit with Potter happens and he is like:

[saberdramon]

i am also. not normal about kiryu and majima and death. the insistence that kiryu can only die by majima's hand. a man who already lost everything once, who keeps getting dragged into shit time and time again, who frequently wonders why he hasn't already died, who perhaps would prefer it at this point. is not allowed to die. because there is only one person in the whole world who is allowed to kill him. who will kill anyone trying to take that privilege away from him. who will remind kiryu of this agreement as many times as it takes to drill it in. he is not allowed to die until majima says so. until he drives that dagger through kiryu's chest himself. and until that day comes he's going to get up and live and fight for his life if he must, because to give up would be letting down someone who's already bled more than he should have for kiryu's sake. and we wouldn't want that to happen would we

Ngl gumball is the type to not fuck around when someone says anything about his gf he's very obsessed with

the tags aren't letting me tell you how gumball literally brought an entire PERSON, probably a dead one of unconscious as a SACRIFICE to a fake cult made by his own teachers and classmates (they didn't take it well)

And then she threatens to kill him if he doesn't man up and say that while looking her in the eye (and then he apologizes while looking at her in the eye because he cannot be directly rude).

sometimes I think about Q and their design and skill and how I think I could make an argument for them representing many characters childhoods and how the trauma from when they were kids impacts them as adults.

OKAY. MAN.

[ctrl-alt-deleting-yr-face]

okay to those of you who saw my last rb and care about my stupid guilty gear au. i NEED to rant right now. Massive long winded about bedkari (aka bedman x hikari, my stupid ship that’s part of reverie of rebirth) under the cut. Be warned they’re so toxic yuri

i just realized. The cornered pray analogy exactly how the dynamic between Romeo and Hikari is. The lamb preparing for their slaughter specifically is. Exactly them. But the thing is… The roles are swapped in a way.

Romeo, of course, has sheep elements. Those are a huge part of his design- Even in his canon story as well. He’s a lamb being led by a shepherd. He’s naively being led along by Ariels, she calms him when he rebels or lashes out against her, and she led him all the way to his eventual slaughter. He’s the lamb.

But with Hikari, he gets to be the shepherd.

Hikari is a yokai. She’s powerful. I wrote her to be powerful on purpose. She could be fatally wounded and survive, not even batting an eye due to her lack of pain receptors. Which she does. Right when she first meets Romeo. He tries to kill her, and yet she’s unfazed. She doesn’t care. She didn’t feel anything, and she knows she wants to be near him no matter what. All that’s important is pleasing him.

Basically all Hikari knows is Romeo. When she first met him and emotionally latched onto him, she had only recently awoken and still had all her emotions. All her emotions were developed around Romeo’s guidance and treatment of her, which basically just meant being his little assistant, aiding in his war crimes, and associating joy with his slightly harsh treatment.

All Hikari knows is showing her neck and stomach to Romeo.

When comparing the specific animal motifs of both Romeo and Hikari, it’s really fun to see the contrast. Hikari has the designs element of the predator animal, while Romeo has motifs of the prey. However, those roles are swapped in terms of their behavior. Romeo is abrasive and only begins to show care towards his yokai companion after months in his presence, while said companion innocently follows his commands and accepts anything he throws her way- Naively believing every word he says like it’s gospel. A little cat blindly loving the cruel shepherd. It’s a beautiful parallel that honestly was not intentional.

The sheep bares its teeth and bites into the neck of the two-tailed cat.

You wouldn’t catch many 34 year old’s publicly infantilising themselves and getting away with it because of the willingness of their cult fanbase to enforce that narrative. I love her music, but I wonder when Taylor Swift will snap out of her seemingly perpetual “teenage petulance” mindset.

It’s so disturbing how her fans speak about her as if she isn’t a grown woman. It actually does her a huge disservice. She is not just an average adult either; she is a powerful businesswoman and shouldn’t be allowed to act with impunity. And she certainly doesn’t need you to play pawn for her free of cost. You’re being exploited.

I would give so much just to have this back.

This "Joyce figuring out Jancy are together" fic has gotten a little out of hand but that's fine

shepherd saying, “war isn’t about friends, it’s about enemies” when friendship is the main reason the 141 find all the missiles and take down hassan just scratches a lovely itch

laswell is able to find out hassan’s in mexico and working with the cartel bc of her friendship with price and gaz, who are already in amsterdam. they’re able to get the jump on him and find out about him shipping the missiles over the atlantic bc of her friendship with alejandro. price and gaz are able to fly to al mazrah in time to intercept aq bc of price’s friendship with nik and they’re able to get laswell back bc of their friendship with farah. soap makes it through las almas and eventually kills hassan in chicago bc he successfully befriended ghost, who stayed behind at his own risk and kept giving him advice he wasn’t required to give

the real treasure was literally the friendships they made along the way
