That's the thing with abusive and manipulative people. Most of them don't do it on purpose. Which is why it is so hard for their victims to leave even when they realize this situation is hurting them, because they know this person never meant to hurt them.
I met a lot of manipulators in my life, including my parents, and let me tell you I don't think they ever left a conversation with me thinking "Hahaha I really got her with my guilt-trap ! Now she's going to feel so bad and I can keep using her for my own profits !" How am I supposed to "just leave and cut off all contacts" when I know they love me ? When I finally told my mom after 8 years that the comments she made on my body made me so self-conscious that I started to hate myself, she cried. She said she had no idea. When I told my dad that he always talks to me like I'm a disappointing trash and it hurts, he was surprised that I felt that way. He didn't understand why. They're not unapologetic evil people who made my life a living hell on purpose. Most people aren't mean and cruel on purpose.
I spent most of my life saying that Toxic People don't exist and no one is inherently Evil, because most toxic behaviors are miscommunication and assumptions. Most people hurt you because they don't realize you don't feel and think the same way they do, because they don't realize you're not in their head and cannot guess the reasons of their words and actions. Then someone pointed out to me that some people do enjoy hurting others, some people don't feel bad at all when they learn they were mean and will do it again without hesitation. So yeah, perhaps those people are cruel, but they're not everyone.
I don't think my parents ever made me cry on purpose. Still, they broke me and I'm still picking up the pieces.
otherwise interesting post ruined by the bold insistence that you can never accidentally abuse someone & that all abusive people are self-aware evil masterminds

wip day of the week
@effervescentwolf tagged me. some wednesday. to post a wip! thank you wolf... I don't know if I'll get around to finishing this presumed deaddie thing bc it's weird to write an arc while the show is. co-currently writing that arc at the same time as you. but i wanna share the opening scene :) idk who's writing these days... @tallsinspace if u wanna share anything pls feel free. anyway without further ado.
Three days without contact is not that long. Buck tries to convince himself of that fact, but he had also tried to convince himself that two days wasn't that long; twenty-four hours; twelve. He checks his phone again. Eddie still hasn't read his last message, or the one before that, or the ten before that. His leg is bouncing so hard that Hen and Chim's solitaire game jitters on the table, Kings mixing with the Queens.
Hen sighs. "Buck," she says, and waits for him to glance up at her, "if something was going on, I'm sure someone would—"
He's shaking his head before she finishes. "I'm—" his voice rasps worse than he expected, and he swallows with a click. "I'm not his emergency contact anymore. When he started at his station, he—yeah."
Eddie had sounded so apologetic about it, even though it was probably stupid for Buck's name to be there for as long as it was after he moved. It's not like Buck can do anything to help Eddie from here.
And the other thing? Buck had thought, and didn't ask, and kept thinking about, and not asking.
There's a pause, and he just knows they're exchanging one of those sad, little looks everyone keeps giving each other whenever they think he's acting especially pathetic. He's glad he didn't see it; if he did he might scream.
"You could text his mom?" Chim offers, then very quickly adds in a way that means Hen just raised an eyebrow at him, "Not that I think anything's wrong."
Buck turns his phone over and over and over in his hands. He doesn't have her number. He'd asked for it, before Eddie left, and Eddie had gotten quiet in that bad way, told him nothing was going to happen, which he knew as a first responder was never a fact, so that just meant he didn't want Buck to have it. Buck hadn't pushed, because—he didn't know why. Because if that was what Eddie needed to do, then Buck was going to let him do it.
He could text Chris, but if he texted Chris is your dad okay? and Eddie was okay, just busy, or ignoring him, or lost his phone in the El Paso desert, then it would be—it would be a whole thing, and Eddie was handling it. Alone. Because Eddie handled everything alone.
His phone buzzes in his hands—startling him so bad that he drops it, clattering onto the table at full volume and full vibration and mixing the solitaire game beyond salvation.
"See," Hen says, poorly masking her own relief.
Buck fumbles for his phone and—stares. Then he answers at the same time that he untangles himself from the chair and heads for the railing of the station loft for the illusion of being out of earshot. "Chris," he says, almost all air, "hey—"
"Do you just"—there's a vitriol in Chris's voice that would have made Buck stumble if he were walking—"not care or something?"
Reflexively, Buck looks over his shoulder at the table; Hen and Chim not bothering to hide that they're watching. They make eye contact, and maybe any other time it would be comforting, but right now there's only one other person in the world he wishes was here for this conversation.
"I always care, Chris," Buck says, keeping his voice calm and careful as he starts down the stairs, thinking in the back of his mind about the bunkroom or maybe outside; if the alarm goes he'll have to be the man behind, no other option. "I care like crazy, but could you tell me what's wrong?"
On the other end Chris sucks in this sharp breath that has Buck bracing for another drop of acid—but nothing comes. All he hears is Chris's ragged breathing, each hitch making Buck's heart lurch in his chest.
"Chris?" he asks. "Hey, c'mon, can you talk to me?"
"Did," Chris starts, and the anger has drained so completely from his voice that he just sounds unbearably small, "did abuela not tell you?"
Buck didn't make it to the bunkroom. He didn't make it outside. He's stuck, exposed, in the middle of the firehouse as the Earth slides off its axis into the death spiral of a blackhole.
"Tell me what?" he asks.

I think about this moment a lot:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
screenshotted from INAZUMA ELEVEN 2: Blizzard ❄️ Gameplay Walkthrough FULL GAME (Nintendo DS) by Kouteshi on YT
I don't remember the video time stamp unfortunately.
"(sigh) It must be nice to hear from your mother..." hit me like a bus.
Because the implication immediately is that Aki haven't heard from her mom since they had left on this trip. Since rika is in the screenshot we can safely assume this is a moment after their visit in osaka. When we add all the travel time from location to location it will be around 72 hours, and that's only travel time. Obviously this portion of the trip lasted longer than 3 days - they had to stop on the way for training, breaks, stop to sleep, they spent time at the locations when they arrived there. And realistically, the travel time will be different from what the internet suggests too - there's traffic and other unforseen circumstances to be taken into consideration.
But in truth it doesn't matter as much how long they have been gone. What matters is that aki feels ignored, dare i suggest, neglected by her mother.
Her next lines are her being concerned about her mother's well-being while she's away - giving us the idea that while she's at home she's quite involved in taking care of her mother. In isolation caring about your parent isn't a bad thing but put right next to a wistful admission of 'i wish my mom called me' is a pretty bad look for Aki's parents.
It puts into perspective her being so responsible at her age. Perhaps the situation is that she had to become self-reliant fast and turn into another parent in her household, all while being the child. In the same game she shares a moment with Fubuki later on, where he compares her to his mother, so there's at least one character who considers Aki's demeanor to be quite parent-like. I'm pretty sure there are more comments about her mom behavior, but i can't remember anthing specific. Her and Fubuki actually have a LOT of interactions in the game and it's a shame this didn't carry over to the anime.
For all her apparent openness, she can be a pretty closed off character. The kind of person you don't think is hiding anything because of how approachable they are, only to suddenly become aware of the carefully maintained distance they keep people at. I think it could have been even worse after Ichinose's "death" and her loss of contact with Domon, and it could be that only after she befriended Endou that she became more open about her emotions. More than before, but not entirely.
I realize this is a pretty negative interpretation, but Inazuma has never shied away from giving their characters bad home lives and dark pasts. After all just in this game/season we meet Kogure, who was straight up abandoned by his own mother and we get introduced to Fudou (although his backstory gets revealed in the next season).
As a sidenote, I'm gonna add that we see Aki receive calls from a bunch of people in the game (she's like their phone operator lmao). For example, she gets calls from Endou's mom and the detective. And this just makes me think of her having this small glimmer of hope every time her phone rings, thinking that maybe, just maybe it was her mom, calling to check in with her, make sure she is doing well, that she is safe and warm and fed.
She probably knows her mom's number by heart. And each time she looked at her phone screen her face would fall, imperceptibly, before she steeled herself and answered the call. Focusing back on the task at hand, pushing her feelings deep inside.
So I'm just gonna say. Aki's mother is on thin ice for me-
On an unrelated note; her hair color and shape change slightly in the sprite between the middle and last screenshot skfhsdjkf

✦. BETTER THAN HE CAN ּ ֶָ֢.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
warning : cringe, bad english, harshwords, fluff, tiny angst, ooc.
pairings : badboy!jake × fem!reader × richboy!sunghoon. (ft. yunjin, karina, other ocs).
^᪲᪲᪲ synopsis : when you just go to your new highschool with your cousin cause your mom is having other projects— then you just met the two of them.
When you just arrived in front of your new highschool, you spot your cousin— Karina, just waiting for you infront of the gate.
After parking the car you get out from it with your mom. "Hey! oh God.. it's been a long time, isn't it sweetie?" your mom greet Karina warmly while she just gave it a small genuine smile.
You peek behind your mother and wave your hand slightly "hey.. rin" is all you said to her. Karina who sees you directly pull you and held your hand
your mother just chuckles slightly while seeing that— "good to know that you both still bonding.. I hope you enjoy your highschool here y/n, don't be troublesome to Karina" she said.
You just nod slightly "Yeah, i will" while playing with the hem of your skirts, Karina just looking at you slightly "Don't worry! She's good with me, i'll always by her side"
your mom just nod and pat your shoulder "You have Karina, okay? ask her anything you don't know, don't forget study diligently here.." she said before going back to her car.
"Come on, were still have a time to wander around!" Karina said cheerfully, you just smile and nod— runninh with her through the corridors
you pant, too tired from the much running "that's kinda fun.. but this school is too big—" she just laughs mockingly "you're just weak, come on let's go to our seat". When you go inside your classrooms there is only one seat that empty, and you don't even know the person who's sitting beside you.
Karina glances at you with knowing looks "don't worry your sitting with me, look" she point to her seat "i'll tell my friend to sit somewhere" as she wanted to talk, you stopped her
"wait no! she's there first, you can't just do that" you held her hand preventing her to walk to her friend.
"nah, she's good— hey Jane! can you sit somewhere? she's new student, she want to sit beside me" she scream not too loud
the Jane girl just give hera quick nod and tidy up her things and go to other seat while Karina pick up your bag and put it beside her.
while the math lesson...
You yawns softly, but enough to make Karina look at you. "boring right?" she sighs
"Yeah.. can't believe it's this boring" you agreed with her, while leaning on your chair— she just stare at you.
"Ah, did you know the boy behind you?" she asked, but you just give her a little head shakes "he's the school troublemaker— but peoples calls him badboy tho".
You just frown "I don't want to deal with someone like him.. i think it's really bothersome" she gave you quick nod "but actually you can try make him fall for you! cmon you're pretty enough to make him fall for you~" she teased.
You let out a scoff "and stuck with him for whole senior year? no way.." you glances at the boy Karina's talk about "what's his name by the way..?"
Karina pinch you "don't stare..! ugh, i cant with you" she rolls her eyes. "Ah, and he's Jake— Sim jaeyun actually, but everybody's calling him jake"
you give her a quick nod while stroking your arm that getting pinched "that hurts by the way!"
The next day...
You ran to the gate just to see the gate is already closed. And the student council is there
"ugh.. can i please go inside?" You plea to him to let you slide. He give you unapproved head shakes "no. You're late and that's what you got"
You rolls your eyes not knowing he's staring at you really focused. "Or maybe you can.." your eyes just light up when he said that.
"give me your number and i'll let you slide" He smirks teasingly and already taking out his phone, to lazy to argue you just take his phone and type your number when suddenly
"Ah! who's that?!" You screamed, you just look up and sees the boy yesterday— jaeyun.. oh no! it's jake.
"hey look! he's climbinh the walls and you just let him pass?" you protest to the student council.
"ah.. him again?" he's just let out a chuckles. After taking his phone he just grab Jake's bag to prevent him running
Jake's having a goofy smile on his face when the student council held his bag "uh.. can you let me go?"
"What am i? Stupid person? Come with me" he grabs jake bag once again to make him go. While jake stare at you a little bit before going with the student council
"she think i'll let her go that easily..?" he thought to himself "of course not".
Lunch time...
When you walk in the hallway with Karina you feel you head bump onto something— oh! It's jake.
Karina just frown and whisper to you "uh.. what you have done?" your face is full of question too, before he start speaking
"You still have business with me, you remember it right?" He gives you a mocking smirks "of course you do, it's just this morning".
Karina give him and intimidating looks before he grabs you to somewhere— "wait! y/n!" she shout to you that being grabbed
"what do you want?!" you asked him, trying to stop him from walking. He just scoffs "what do you think?" He said before letting you go and make you sit in a empty classroom.
He held your chin, getting slightly closer to your face— you close your eyes immadately, already imagining worst things to happen when suddenly he laughs at you mockingly
"What do you think i would do? I don't want to do what you think either" he let go of your chin and steps away.
"Then what do you want?" you asked him still sitting on the chair to prevent his other actions. He acted like he think awhile
"You. Be my servant" he chuckles. Your eyes is widening, servant he said?
"for one semester" he continue his words "deal? or i'll give you more" he tilts his head, looking so innocent while saying the most weird things
"I don't want to!" You ran away from him before he can grab your hand again
When you're already far you just bump into someone else— "ouch! I'm sorry!"
She get up slowly "ah.. it's okay, girl.." she chuckles and helping you get up
"oh yeah.. thank you.. uh?" You forgot her name but she seems familiar to you. "I'm yunjin, were just talk when it's p.e earlier" she smiled at you
"ah.. yunjin, thanks!" You smiled at her. "Do you know where's Karina's at?" You asked her, then she answered with a head shakes
She tilts her head "you lost her? That's okay, let's go to cafetaria together then" she smiled at you while walked you to cafetaria.
15 minutes later...
You enjoyed your food while standing cause the students js already having all seats. "I think this is my favorite, thanks for sharing!" Yunjin's just smiled at your words "oh, no problem—"
Her word just got cutted by some girls shout. "Sunghoon!!" They said. You probably don't know who is he, you're new student after all
Yunjin's just scoffed "Ah, he's here.. that why it's so crowded" before you could ask she already yapping about sunghoon almost too much.
"He's our school donor, his dad actually.. so rich too! He's kinda popular, more popular than Jake" she said.
You stare at him like he's a statue "i see the charm.. but not enough?" You nod your head approving
"Really? Huh.. half of the girls is crazy about him" she talked while munching your taco.
"I have good idea" her eyes lit up. "What is it?" you give her your half bited taco, while she accept it
then suddenly she just push you to Sunghoon and his friendgroup.
"Ah! Yunjin—" you fall looking kneels down. Before you could stands up yunjin just shouted "Sunghoon! She likes you!".
One of his friend looks at you "woah, you can make a girl kneels down for you, hoon" they laughs at you. Sunghoon stare down at you "It's just my charm" and chuckles.
You frown "Ugh! I don't like you, it's because my friend push me!" You go out of his sight— "did you just got rejected? Oh, boy.. Chase her, they cant know you just got rejected" his friend said.
Sunghoon immadately stand up from his seat trying to catch you, and you? You run to the hallway, forgetting yunjin in the cafetaria alone. A long run until you just bump onto someone
"Oh! Here you are!" Jake grab your hand before you can run from him again. "Why are you running around?" He tilts his head asking you. You pant "Just got chased by.." Just when you want to talk Sunghoon pat your shoulder.
Jake glances at Sunghoon, having a questioning looks on his face— "what have you done?" he ask quietly, you only respond by shrug.
"are you really rejecting me?" A sentence come out from Sunghoon's mouth. Your eyes finally have courage to glances at his face and having eyecontacts with him. "I.. I'm not? Of course I'm not" you answer his question hesitantly.
Jake who see your behavior pulls you and make you run again with him. "Damn it! Why are we running?!" You curse at him while he's just laughinh and taking you to the nearest bush so Sunghoon doesn't catch you both.
You sighs heavily, today is really tiring day for you. All this running stuff makes you tired "What's that for?" You sit carefully. He rubs his neck "Uh.. i protect you from him!" He said proudly.
You frown and tilting your head "you're not. You're hiding here with me instead of confront him" you scoffs at him while he open a pack of candy.
"I am, i just protected you from further problem with him— you don't want to mess with him either right? He's kinda dangerous" He looks at you seriously while saying all of his reason.
You raised an eyebrow. "You seem know him too much, I mean.. if compared to others". He laughs at your words
"I mean.. were siblings, of course i know him" He looks at you, smiling sweetly. "You boy doesnt even looks alike.. i mean—" you pause to think of a more appropriate words.
"Oh.. were still siblings tho! We have same dad, different moms— I'm the child of a maid. I'm born from unhealthy relationship. And of course he will hates me because I'm the maid's child" He explain to you casually.
"So.. you and hoon are technically siblings?" You just nod while understanding the whole situation. "I just heard that, I'm so sorry—" he quickly asnwers you "No, don't say that. That's my choice to explain it to you" he stand up from the bush after hearing the school bells.
"Oh! Were probably late now!" As you want to stand up he push you slowly "We can skip class. I mean? It's math today, you sure want to stuck in a such a boring 1 hours class?" He asked you, literally invite you to skip school.
You just nod "That's such a new experience, i guess?". He smiled at your choice and pass his hand to you "Come on, i'll show you a good hidden places"
You held his hand while he walks you to the place he meant. It's behind the school, a big three is there with some bench— with a really calming vibes. Your eyes glitterinh, you feel excited.
"You like it?" Jake's glances at you while smiling, then he sit on the bench tapping the space beside him for you to seat "Here".
You sit beside him, wandering your eyes to the beautiful heavenly scenery near you. "It's such a good place, I love it" you smile excitedly to him. "I'm glad you liked it, this actually my new skipping class base" he laughs.
You lean yourself on the bench "I love it here.." you yawns softly, feeling sleepy cause the calming vibes around you. "Just sleep, we can go back everytime you want" Jake put his hand behind your neck for a lil pillow.
"Th-thanks.." you stutter slightly and leans on his arms. Feeling relaxed, you closed your eyes feeling the wind brushing your hair lovingly.
Next morning...
When you arrived, you wanna put your things in your locker. But when opening it you found something that you didnt place there— a mini bouquet with an asking out letter.
You smiled "It's probably Jake's behavior" just that sunghoon walks pass you "It's mine actually, you can answer it on my number there" he chuckles softly and goes to his class immadately.
You freezed, your eyes widened— "Hey! Morning, girl~" suddenly you heard a high pitched voice from your back, you already know it's probably yunjin's.
She get closer to you try to peak what you hold in your tiny hands. "What's that? Bouquet?" She chuckles "You already makes a boy fall for you?".
You put the bouquet and the letters back to your locker and close them. "It's from Sunghoon, he's probably want to prove that ill fall for him" You just laughs it off. "Even better! You know everybody's want to experienced these thing— especially this come from Sunghoon" she said excitedly
You shakes your head "nah.." and grabs her hand to go to the classroom. When you go, you see Karina's seat is empty because she's absent. "It's gonna be reaaaally boring" you sighs as you sit on your own seat. Yunjin's glances at you "Karina's not here? Don't worry we can go together" she smile.
2 hours passed, you're really bored now. All you do it's wandering your eyes all over the classroom— and there you are staring Jake for really long time. Everyone doesn't notice of course, they're busy with their assignment.
Been 2 minutes seen you stare at him and this time he paused and looks at you making a slight eyecontacts, your eyes widens and quickly break it— and pretend to be busy like the others do.
The bells ring...
You walked out from your classroom, letting Yunjin go to the teachers office alone. You walk through the corridors and meeting Jake again, leaning on the wall.
As you wanted to walk pass him, he immadately calls you "Hey, wait there!" You stopped. You look at him with all questions on your head "What again?".
"Did Sunghoon ask you out? I heard it from your conversation with Yunjin— did you really interested on him?" He ask all those question simultaneously to you, not letting you think for an answers.
"Can you chill? I'm not even answering his letters yet, and maybe HE is the one who interested" you rolls your eyes at him, he stand up straight
"but really, you want to accept it? Like? Now?" You shrug "I don't know.. maybe yes, maybe no" that answer is not helping from him.
He sighs before he walks away, you stay at your place only staring at him looking tired with his behavior. Just when you're happy to see Yunjin, you spotted she's there— you run to her happily and walked to cafetaria together.

My mom keeps journals, and she used to write journals that were centered on each kid, and when we moved out, she gave them to us.
The journal I have from her, one of the entries is about how I got in trouble for not behaving at bedtime, and one of the punishments was that I wasn't allowed to go play with my friend who lived across the street. We lived on what was essentially a huge cul-de-sac, very safe neighborhood, lots of kids, lots of people knew each other, we used to have block parties, etc.
Well, she went to go get something done and when she went to look for me, I was gone. So she called my friend's mom and wouldn't you know, I had ignored my punishment and gone across the street to play with my friend. My mom was upset and I was in trouble, not because I had left the house without saying anything to her at the age of three and a half, but because I had gone to play with my friend when I was not allowed to.
Meanwhile, it was normal for my brother, who was almost 7, to hop on his bike and hang out with his friends in the neighborhood. Expected, even.
I'm now a middle-aged mom with two young kids. And yeah, I can't even wrap my head around letting my kids go to the playground down the street without at least one adult. Some of it is my kids' ages and personalities, but a lot of it is just ... are we allowed to? Is it okay to do this? Are we bad parents?
For the rest of this school year, the kids have two different drop-off and pick-up times for school, which means that we're often left with 10-15 minutes where my youngest wants to play on the playground while I walk over to the school and pick up his brother. The playground in question is the school playground, and often there are other kids and parents around, but not always, right before pick-up. And my beautiful, stubborn four year old does not want to come with me to get his brother--he wants to stay on the playground.
So, we have rules. Stay on the playground, don't leave the playground with anyone besides me, and if he needs me, he needs to take the main path from the playground to the school building so that I can see him.
I get dirty looks from other parents when we do this. Even though it should be perfectly safe--it's the school playground, I'm literally just right over there, I'll be back in a moment, he understands the situation and doesn't think I abandoned him, etc. etc. But still, it feels like I'm being an awful, neglectful parent when this happens.
So yeah. There's SO much that contributes to this major issue. And I don't know how to really fix it as just one parent. But we're doing our best. Things are really, really different than when we were kids, and not all of it is for the better.

MAN I'm seriously so sad about season 2. Bc I wish act 2 had the same emotional impact on me as it appears to have on so many others. But rn I'm just somewhere between unable to care and actively annoyed by some of those writing decisions. Seriously the more I think about it the less I like it.
#act 3 come through please 🙏#I don't think it can salvage some of the things I have contentions with but still... please...#don't ask me about the silco vander flashback with jinxs + vis mom#or the bizzare choice to do so much of the storytelling through this weird music video format they've got going on#completely stripping it of the weight these plot beats could've had if they were... normal scenes#and also missing the point of how the music was used in season 1 and what made it so effective#bc it was complementary to instead of replacing the storytelling#seriously don't ask me about these things I will spontaneously implode on the spot#whyyyyy would they recontextualize season 1 like this with that flashback#to me it kind of ruins the character dynamics and themes in s1. it just makes me so sad you have no idea#also what even are they doing with Jinx rn for real#aaarghhhh just... so many things that are making me scratch my head#also I'm so terribly sorry but I could not care less about Isha sorry lol#like i get that its sad conceptually but she was such a non-character that i struggle to feel impacted at all#same with sky tbh. i thought her role in s1 was alright but there is so much emotional weight put on her now#in terms of her relationship to Viktor but that was barely established so it's weird to have her around#and clearly you're supposed to care but they haven't given me much reason to#isha and sky were non-characters just there to die to further the development of other characters#they didn't really have anything going on on their own and that's just a type of character and plot device that does nothing for me#also i thought the war between zaun and piltover + internal struggles in zaun bc silcos gone would be the main focus#but that stuff seems so sidetracked rn#also sorry i dont like what they did with vander and warwick either. that man should've stayed dead lol#it honestly just makes his death feel less impactful and i dont know what this is supposed to do for the story or the themes???#that just feels like a pointless plotline that is taking up time that could've been spent on other things#i just... i could go on like this for a while like there are so many things that just puzzle me#it's so weird considering how tight and thematically consistent season 1 was#let's see where act 3 goes but... i kinda have a bad feeling about it ngl#obv im glad others are enjoying it and this is just my opinion! also a lot of this are probs just my personal tastes anyway#arcane spoilers

Sometimes I feel like I don't care what other people think and other times. Sigh

Lumity is very cute but it seems like the kind of ship that would have a fandom so toxic it'd make you dislike the ship in time and I think that's sad.
#possibly because it's so ''pure'' like#the spiciest thing that happened between them was Amity being rude for like 1/3 of s1 maybe?#and a lot of baby puritans online like to cling to these ''unproblematic'' ships to feel super morally superior and whatnot#tbh while watching toh I was thinking ''mmmm how could a fanfic make lumity MORE dramatic? what situations could make them WORSE''#my conclussion is that more internalized homophobia would really make it shine#for me specifically. to appeal to my own personal tastes#tbh the lack of conflict became a bit boring after a while like there were times i wanted amity to throw luz out the window#that girl is a compulsive liar she can't ever say things straight even when there's no reason to lie 😭 and i love flawed characters#and i understand amity being tremendously loving and forgiving and understanding is a valid character trait#but like girl 😭 not even one fight? i wouldn't have that patience 😭😭😭 sometimes fights are good#i see so many people celebrating it's ''healthiness'' (if that's a word) and i just feel like. is that what appeals to you?#is that what you find fun and exciting? is that what keeps you at the edge of your seat?#personally i need amity to get psychologically abused by her mom soooo bad it destroys her relationship with luz. like with willow but worse#MORE misunderstandings MORE heartbreak MORE abuse MORE drama#and if you could add some self-loathing and SHAME there it'd be beautiful#i'm not talking about the show. the show is fine. i'm talking about the fanfic i'm gonna spend the next two hours looking for on ao3#btw this is just me talking about my personal tastes and everyone is allowed to like whatever they like. if you like less drama that's cool#like i don't know you and my opinions on your tastes are actually zero

not to continue to be controversial with warrior cats opinions but if nightheart was canonically trans you guys would have a much different opinion about him
like. We have chosen names?? Why was him wanting his own chosen name that suits who he is like seen as ridiculous for him to ask for? Why do you guys see him as entitled for that 😭
Like, the "not orange" thing could have been handled better. But I think he's a character you're meant to read inbetween the lines with a bit. His struggle is that he doesn't feel like he's seen for who he is. He has very low self esteem but puts up a big ego in order to force it combined with a desperate need to prove himself. So, he pushes himself too far, and fails constantly. He's trying to make a name for himself, both literally and figuratively, because he's trying so hard to find a sense of identity.
(Nothing against you if you dislike or hate him though!!!! I just. Ugh. Maybe I give him too many headcanons that I'm projecting onto canon. because he's a transfemme he/him or maybe all pronouns lesbian to me.)

"you can't put alicent in a mother's day asoiaf comp because she's not a good mother and that's okay :)" but you have no problem with cersei fucking lannister in it when half her affc chapters are just about how abysmally she fails as a mother to her children so i think you're just a cunt
#personal#anti hotd fandom#'um cersei loves her children' yeah so does alicent#but you're not gonna convince me that cersei is a good mother#it's like a huge part of her that she kinda can't be because of how narcissistic she is and all her other issues#she loves her children yeah but she's way too permissive of them#(which leads to disaster like we saw with joffrey)#and she can be downright cruel to tommen to keep him under her control (cuz she doesn't want him to die yes but still)#if alicent can't be in something as inconsequential as a fucking mother's day post because even tho she loves her children#(and has to deal with a much more precarious political situation and her extreme youth when she became a mother and no support)#then be consistent and acknowledge that those same critiques also very much apply to cersei#(personally i think that cersei is more of a Bad Mom than alicent for a wide variety of reasons)#(but i don't restrict female characters to their roles as mothers cuz i'm fucking normal)#honestly you can make a case for rhaenyra not being allowed on any good mother list either because of her lies about her sons' parentage#and how that actively contributes to making their lives difficult and screwing them over and also her war leading to their deaths#anyway today is my day to be absolutely petty about fandom bullshit that doesn't mean anything cuz man sometimes team black pisses me off#it's just another version of those 'i wish alicent was the evil hag bitch from the books that i totally loved i swear' disingenuous bs post#'it's okay to admit alicent is a bad mother and bad person guys' yeah it's okay for YOU to admit you just don't like the character#big 'we loved cersei for the villain she was even tho we actually all hated her guts and harassed lena heady about it' vibes tbf

#like if it is ptsd that means basically it's untreatable right? like the only way to really deal with it is i have to just accept that i'm#going to be miserable and awful to be around forever?#idk like thats why i was kind of hoping it /was/ something more uncommon like osdd because like. i know that can be hard to treat but i've#seen people make it work for them and make it a good thing even if it's hard. there are no upsides or benefits to having Just Fucking Ptsd#there's no sympathy for it if you didnt get it from combat (and even then lol)#and there's no real way to treat it except just learn to fucking avoid triggers and my triggers are FUCKING EVERYTHING#idk i just want a FUCKING SOLUTION and there is none#it's not fucking fair. it's not fucking fair#that my life is permanently ruined and horrible because my fucking mom decided that she needed to have a little mini-me#to project her fucking insecurities on instead of getting therapy#and now i'm never going to be happy! i don't get to have a good fucking life! i h#i have to spend the rest of my life fucking /coping/ with my own existence and having everyone fucking moralize me not wanting to do that#i'm a horrible person for even thinking about this stuff because me saying i cant recover probably makes other people in similar situations#think they also can't recover and i know that makes me bad and awful but like. it's different.#other people have friends who love them and care about them. i will never have that because i'm awful and everyone who gets close to me#realizes how awful i am and runs#other people have a chance at happiness even if it's hard. i don't. i'm never going to have people who love me and care about me. i'm never#going to be anyone's family and i can't fucking stand that
