Literally being on the outside looking in moved many things inside Marta. She has nothing, no support system to help her not just through the breakup but through every little thing in her life. We all knew she had reached her breaking point, but never in a million years would I have thought it would happen during the family lunch. And I am glad she opened up to Andrés, but it’s nowhere near enough — she still has so much to let go of — but it’s a start.

And boy am I happy for Fina and her relationship with Isidro, but I think her eagerness for the future is just an illusion and she’ll break the moment she sees Marta again. We’ll see how she reacts tomorrow when Marta tells her she feels as broken as Fina.

This will also be the turning point for Jaime and Marta’s relationship; I think he’s beginning to understand how miserable he’s making her and set her free.

#i can’t believe how beautiful marta belmonte looks when she cries #life is just not fair #mafin #sueños de libertad

I just had 5 and a half days off of work and 2 day off the week before. I have to go back to work in the morning and I really really don’t want to

#I think I need a real trip somewhere #ok really what I think I want is to somehow be able to go to purcon next year #god I guess I would need to go to work to earn some money for that #life is just not fair

I don't know how strictly accurate this is, but one of the things I find shocking about watching historical dramas is how many people there are around all the time---according to Madame de... (1953) a well-off French household in the Belle Epoque maintains a workforce of at least 3, and the glittering opera has staff just to open doors. According to Shogun (2024) you can expect a deep bench just to mind your household, and again, people who exist to open doors.

Could people....not open doors in the past? Were doors tricky, before the standardization of hinges? Because otherwise, the wealthy used to pay a whole bunch of people to do it for them in multiple contexts, and I find myself baffled.

#I mean..........listen.#maybe people in the past had superfluous staff just to open doors. because of reasons.#fair enough! that made their lives easier. okay cool. making things easier is what money brings you. except....#there are many parts of my life that would be so much easier with support staff! dishes. vacuuming. grocery shopping.#doors though? opening and shutting doors???#can't say that's come up as a particular concern.#I feel aggressively stupid asking this question but also. why doors. someone dial up a 19th century fella and explain.

in scott's pov (ep7) he refers to scar as grian's husband. no one tells him this is not the case. this is because traffic!scott decides who is and is not married like some sort of contractually binding arbiter of love. to me anyways

#he never learned how to do divorce so everyone is just stuck like this.#trafficshipping #craftie art #third life #bo's lpcu (lonely people cinematic universe)#the answer to my question about tagging seems to be 'is it even ship art if its in the desert?' which is fair #grian #scott #'op this is not shipping' the problem.is to me tl!g+s are together in a way that is so inextricable to their characters that any depiction #of them is shipping. sorry. it makes it hard to judge if its actually ship by tumblrs standards lmao

oh my god i forgot to post my absolute favorite strip from gay comix (issue #2, 1981)

#this collection is full of so many hilarious vignettes #between the fictional and biographical they range from hilarious to saddening but theyre all candid looks at #lgbt life in the 60s 70s and 80s #id recommend it if you're interested in older underground work #edit: for ppl who notice the opening blurb i will say this:#1. Many artists in the underground comix scene (yes the lgbt ones too) delighted in being overly provocative for the sake of it #hence the cringeworthy 'political unity is not the goal' line #2. i worried abt this too when i started going thru the issues but there are quite a few strips and comics focusing on the trans experience #that said. there are unfortunately not a lot of transgender artists involved in this collection #3. given the preceding two points i think its fair to say that a good chunk of the strips in gay comix just. Suck #but like they actually said it's important that we're capable of recognizing that a full 40 years down the line #so we can actually learn something from the life experiences the mistakes and even the lack of perspective tht sm of these artists displayed #nocturnal writings

Shen Yuan getting transported into pidw isn't "the system punishing him for being a lazy internet hater," but instead representative of "step 1 of the creative process: getting so mad at something you decide to go write your own fucking book" in this essay I will

#svsss #scum villian self saving system #shen qingqiu #shen yuan #the fact that people think scum villain #-a series that examines and criticizes common tropes in fiction-#is somehow against criticism or being a little hater is wild to me #especially since shen qingqiu never gets punished for being a hater #heck- he's still a little hater by the end of the series #he mostly gets punished for treating life like a play and like he and the people around him are characters #(or in other words- he suffers for denying his own wants and emotions and his own sense of empathy)#I think some of y'all underestimate how much writing/art is inspired by creaters being little haters #like example off the top of my head-#the author of Iron Widow has been pretty vocal about the book being inspired by their hatred of Darling in the Franxx #I think my interpretation of Shen Yuan's transmigration is also supported by the fact that this series is an examines writing processes #side note- though i understand why people say Shen Yuan is lazy and think its a valid take it still doesnt sit right with me #i am probably biased because my own experiences with chronic pain and depression and isolation #but ya- i dont think Shen Yuan is lazy so much as he is deeply lonely and feels purposeless after denying parts of himself for 20ish years #like yall remember the online fandom boom from covid right?#being stuck completely alone in bed while feeling like shit for 20 days straight does shit to your brain #the fact that no one came to check on him + he wasn't exactly upset about leaving anyone behind supports the isolation interpretation too #+in the skinner demon arc he describes his life of being a faker/inability to stop being a faker now that he's Shen Qingqiu #as “so bland he's tempted to throw salt on himself” and “all he could do is lay around and wait for death” (<-paraphrasing)#bro wants to be doing stuff but is stuck in paralysis from repeatedly following scrips made by other people #another point on “Shen Yuan isn’t lazy” is just the sheer amount of studying that man does #also he did graduate college- how lazy can he really be #he doesnt know what hes doing but he at least tries to actively train his students #and he actually works on improving his own cultivation + spends quite a bit of time preping the mushroom body thing #+he's experiencing bouts of debilitating chronic pain throughout all this #but ya tldr: Shen Yuan's transmigration is an encouragement to write and not a punishment and also i dont think its fair to call him lazy

(random s5 finale musings) tbh I don't think Marinette chose to keep The Secrets™ from Adrien because Gabriel asked her to. I feel like Marinette keeping secrets like that is so consistent with her character; she hates giving people bad news, she hates rocking the boat, she hates upsetting people, she always chooses to keep any 'controversial' information to herself for as long as she can get away with (examples: bubbler scarf, telling Queen Bee she was benched, confessing to Adrien, warning Chat Noir about Scarabella or Rena Furtive, never told Chat Noir about Chat Blanc, etc) that I just totally believe she would've done it either way. She was even already having nightmares about Adrien hating her for finding out she defeated his father, so I feel like Gabriel's request was moreso giving her a go-ahead than it was a primary deciding factor, yknow?

#ml s5 spoilers #tbh half the time when thinking about it I forget that gabriel asked her to do it at all #because it just feels like such a Marinette™ thing to do to me lol #to be fair maybe I'm downplaying it? I do think Gabriel's plea struck some emotional chord with her too and helped push her that direction #but again I. totally believe she'd do it either way #and I do strongly believe that her decision is moreso ''I don't want to hurt Adrien'' than it is ''I want to honor Gabriel's final wish''#she loves to avoid verbal/emotional problems and hoooo boy idk a worse verbal/emotion problem than #telling your boyfriend that his entire life is a lie and that he's not entirely human and that he was abused and controlled and puppeteered #all his life and also that his father was a terrorist and that she saw his mom's corpse in the basement #I mean. I don't think I'd have the emotional maturity to break that to someone either and I'm not.... FOURTEEN.... LOL

was going to make a joke about how jon in theory is a leftist and objectively believes in "power to the people" and all that but fundamentally he simply finds people at large to be dumb and annoying and every time someone disagrees with his opinion in a way that ticks him off he briefly becomes 100% supportive of complete authoritarianism, ideally with himself as the dictator of the known universe, and then I remembered that wouldn't actually be a joke because he did canonically do exactly that.

#never give jon political power. he'd hold votes to try and be fair and then just say 'uhhh you voted incorrectly <3' and do whatever anyway.#tma #marina marvels at life

Explorers of Sky is a good game.

#making the joke in the tags of my last meme wasn't enough i had to make it real #with way too much effort put into it as i do #pokemon #pmd #future trio #that's the tag right? WELL it'll have to be #i finished the main plot and the special episode and yeah #yeah yeah yeah #very good game very glad i can take real life damage when i hear don't ever forget with full context now #the special episode also confirmed that arceus isn't a dick it's just specist #as expected of specifically a pokemon god really #maybe the pla protagonist would have been sent home if they'd been turned into a pokemon!#then again they wouldn't have been turned BACK but... yknow that's still half the problem solved #ray's records #i suspend my disbelief i promise but sometimes thoughts are objectively funny #hero saved the world and gets to come back to life buuuut yeah no you keep your amnesia and you stay a pokemon cmon now #though to be fair THAT resurrection was all dialga #and it controls time not form (that's mew) or memory (that's... uxie?) so i can let it slide it did its best #anyway great characters in this game everyone say a prayer for celebi whose stubby little hands are very full with those two. attagirl.

If Zack had survived the events of CC, literally none of the events of the main game would have happened. Not because he would have prevented or solved all the problems, but because he 100% would be fiercely overprotective of both Cloud and Aerith and just nope the two of them out of any dangerous situations (which is...everything those two do).

Oh, you want to help your friend bomb the reactor? Uh, no thank you mister, you just woke up from a coma. Go back to bed.

Yes, Aerith, you are very proficient with the bow staff but you cannot fight Sephiroth-what do you mean why not? The man has a sword the length of a car and has been trained in combat since childhood. HE WILL KILL YOU!

CLOUD IF YOU DON'T PUT THAT FUCKING MATERIA BACK RIGHT NOW I AM GOING TO-THAT'S IT. YOU'RE LOSING SWORD PRIVILEGES.

No shade onto Zack, because he is wonderful, but he would also be very understandably traumatized. And he is not interested in seeing either his girlfriend or the man whose unconscious body just dragged halfway across the earth get hurt (more) or into (more) trouble.

Cloud and Aerith are going to make poor Zack go grayer than Sephiroth.

#ff7 #crisis core #zack fair #cloud strife #aerith gainsborough #They're gremlins your honor #They just want to put their life in danger and poor Zack has to try to stop them

Bingyuan modern ABO AU where Shen Yuan tutors sweet white lotus Luo Binghe and dutifully sends him off to university all prepped and ready to take the world by storm, and then three years later Omega Binghe shows up on his doorstep with a baby, all washed out with his prospects ruined and the father in the wind.

Beta Shen Yuan, furious, is determined to look after Luo Binghe and his adorable baby whilst tracking down the feckless Alpha involved and then... castrating him? Forcing him to step up? One of the two at least!

Only it turns out:

-Baby isn't actually Luo Binghe's

-Luo Binghe isn't an Omega

-Binghe also didn't wash out and in fact just came into a massive inheritance

He didn't even know Shen Yuan was living at the apartment he went to, he was bringing the baby to Shen Jiu in order to blackmail him. The baby is SJ's and Omega Yue Qingyuan's, and had been quietly sent away to avoid scandal. As the next phase of Luo Binghe's hundred-step plan to marrying Shen Laoshi, cuddling the baby in a vaguely sinister fashion while making thinly-veiled threats was vital to blocking Shen Jiu's inevitable attempts to interfere with Binghe's pursuit of his younger brother.

But then Shen Yuan opened the door and promptly drew all the wrong conclusions, and now Binghe is rethinking his entire strategy, furiously googling Alpha-to-Omega transition options and making Mobei Jun make Shang Qinghua find out how to fake a birth certificate for a stolen baby.

#bingyuan #svsss #scum villain #scum villain's self saving system #binghe's in too deep now (five minutes into shen yuan fussing over him) he's just gonna have to embrace the fiction #bonus: at some point it somehow does come out that shen jiu is the father #and in order to protect yue qi shen jiu is stuck accepting the conclusion shen yuan draws which is that he knocked luo binghe up #and ruined his life and future prospects and then abandoned him as a heartbroken single parent #though to be fair shen jiu HAS been trying to ruin luo binghe's life and future prospects for the better part of a decade #he never would have actually gone this route but only because he draws the line at SA (and also it wouldn't have worked on an alpha anyway)#idk where yue qi is in all of this like he's either beside himself or else he doesn't even know the baby is gone yet #still getting updates from the nanny luo binghe bribed while staring wistfully out of windows and sighing at what could have been
