Hi I really LOVE your works literally so much😭, I just wanted to request, it may be weird, what about a witch reader who has social anxiety or just don't interacts with people, so when she would feel lonely she would bring her daily objects to life for company and turn them back into normal again, but one day one object manages to hide so reader isn't able to turn him back, and this object just feel absolute devotion to reader, bcs reader quite literally owns him

I haven’t really done a request in forever, but I absolutely adore this idea! Adore adore adore. Thank you so much, anon ❤️❤️

Yandere Head Canon: Prized Posession

Yandere Gargoyle x Fem Witch Reader

TW: Yandere content. You should know by now the content I write

You were often lonely in your cabin tucked away deep in the mountains. Your only living company was the animals that lived in the forest. Life was easier this way.

Humans terrified you due to their unpredictable and chaotic behavior. You appeared human for the most part, but you were a witch. And you never knew if they burn you at the stake if they found out, so you decided to live as far away from civilization as possible.

It did not help that you were incredibly, socially anxious, so you’d likely hiccup and reveal your identity anyways. So you decided stay in this forest in this old, abandoned gothic manor for the rest of your days.

You often wondered if the old master of this house with some kind of nobleman or maybe even a vampire. Regardless, this place was yours, and you could do with it whatever you pleased.

Yet, you were lonely. Painfully lonely. So you often used your magic to re-animate objects around your house for company.

It started off innocently. You would bring the teapot and the tea cups to life and they would be a happy little family as I talk with you about their mundane lives. You never realized how objects can hold memories… each object sharing memories with you until you ultimately returned them to their original form.

You began to grow bolder and bolder with the objects you brought to life until you finally stumbled across to gargoyle above the front door. It’s monstrous form crouched, menacingly above the manor to keep trespassers away. It’s large bat like wings spread out intimidatingly.

You decided to bring him to life. Your eyes widened when he flew down to stand before you. He was almost 7 feet tall and pure muscle. He was somewhat humanoid, but still obviously a monster. He stood on two legs his fingers and toes had sharp talons. His face elongated into the snout of a vampire bat.

His voice was deep, masculine, and gravely, like he had been a smoker for most of his life. Yet the gargoyle was very polite.

Out of all of the objects you brought to life, the gargoyle was the best company. He reminded you of those gentlemen written in romance novels with his manners and patient demeanor. It was only his monstrous appearance that startled you.

He would sit with you and stare at you with those piercing gray eyes, almost as if he was studying you like a specimen. He would hang on your every word, as if you were the most interesting creature in the world.

You weren’t used to such attention, especially not from the opposite gender. Yet he always made you feel special. Like a lady…

He would pull your chair out for you before he poured your tea, and then he would sweeten it exactly the way you preferred. You were both flattered and a bit frightened with how much knowledge he had of your habits…

The gargoyle would also dance with you under the moonlight, his hands were cold stone. Sometimes his hand would sneak around your waist and he’d pull you closer like you were his lover. A chuckle would always escape his lips when you’d gasp.

“ I want a name.” He whispered in your ear as he sat beside you as you read a book next to him in your study,

“A name?” You softly asked him. “Hmm… what about Grim?”

His face turned up into the slightest of smiles. His clawed hand took yours.

“Grim… my name is Grim.” He planted a kiss on the back of your hand. A shiver rolled up your spine from how cold he was. 

Since that day, Grim wouldn’t let you turn him back into a lifeless gargoyle. He would hide from you every time they broke.

“You’ll be lonely during the day if you don’t have somebody.” He would insist. Yet you couldn’t help the feeling that bubbled in your gut that something wasn’t right with him. Why was Grim so insistent on being by your side? Weren’t gargoyles always meant to be silent watchers over the home?

Sometimes, when you wake up from sleep, he would look through your spell books. Yet he didn’t even feel shame when you caught him. He would just give you that signature ghost of a smile as he held the book close to his chest.

“Good morning, mistress. I’m just studying these pages to see if I can find something to further deepen our bond.”

You hated confrontation, so you didn’t correct his behavior. A mistake that would haunt you.

A week later, and he became more and more animated. It began to scare you since he was no longer cold to the touch like a sculpture… no. He was warm like a body. He felt like a living creature.

You gulped when you felt a pulse. He wasn’t supposed to have one of those… this is why your instructors back in a day always warned you to never leave an object alive for too long. Objects could learn sentence and eventually become their own being… and now you had the full attention of a century old gargoyle. One that would never let you go.

He began to spin your body around in the daily waltz you always danced with him. His snout borrowed into the crook of your neck as he inhaled your scent greedily.

“I’m so happy I can finally smell your sweet scent, mistress. I was so lonely for a century in this manor. But you brought me to life. You listen to me and talk with me… I want to always be with you. Please… won’t you be mine as I am yours?”

You felt his bat like wings pull your body closer to his as he pressed his lips to the top of your head like a lover would. “I wish to be your one and only, mistress. I want to be your prize possession and you be mine. So won’t you stay with me?”

You sighed and wrapped your arms around him. It was not as if you had a choice. You had a responsibility now, and it was to keep this creature content. Even if you had to be his prized possession.

Not sure if you're doing top gun requests right now, but if so, here's one. Rooster with a girl who is helping penny at the bar on a super busy night and there is some rowdy group who keeps calling her over and staring at her, and eventually they go too far and try to grab her but she just knocks one of them clean out and as the guys (hangman, fanboy, etc) is taking care of them, rooster takes her away bc she was about to go crazy on them lol. He's just like "that was so hot but you don't need to go to prison tonight."

"BITCHLESS & DICKLESS' bradley rooster bradshaw x fem!reader

It was a busy Friday night at the Hard Deck, you and Penny the only two working and barely able to keep up with the constant flow of customers coming through, it only seemed to get even more crowded and rowdy when a small group of sailors fresh off the base come through, taking up a couple of the tables near the juke box. They signal you over and you make your towards them, order pad in hand incase they order more than just beer.

"Hey guys, how can i help you?" You ask, your voice upbeat and a smile on your face. It was sticky hot outside and you knew your shirt was clinging to your skin because of it, you tried not to feel too uncomfortable with the obvious way two of the men were staring at you. "Eyes up here, fellas." You say, giving a playful angry look. You were used to being looked at, it kind of came with the job title of bartender, but that didn't mean that it didn't make you uncomfortable.

One of the men cocks a smirk at you, leaning back easily in his seat. "They'll have a round of Budweiser," He says, his eyes not leaving you once as he gestures towards his friends. "and i'll have your number, sweetness."

Before you can open your mouth to object politely, one of his buddies beats you to it. "Hey, Hanks, give some of us a chance with her damn." He chuckles flashing you a smile.

"How about none of you get a chance?" You say sweetly, laughing with his buddies. "I'll be back with the beers in a minute." You shake your head, walking back to the bar. You grab six cold beers from the ice box and start putting them on a serving tray.

"Those boys gonna be trouble?" Penny asks, maneuvering her way behind you with a few drinks of her own. You hadn't realized that she had heard the interaction.

"No, they'll be fine." You shake your head, glancing back over at the table as you pop the tops off of the bottles one by one. The one that had asked for your number, Hanks, was staring at you and talking to the rest of his friends at the same time. His gaze unsettled you, but you carried on with your job anyway. You make your way back over to them, planting your serving smile back on to your face as you start handing out their beers. "Alright fellas, let me know if there's anything else i can get you, okay?"

"That phone number is still wanted, honey." Hanks' friend says, taking a sip from his bottle. He shoots you a wink and manspreads in his chair, you perk an eyebrow at him. What was it with navy boys being so goddamn persistent?

"I'm sure it is honey," You say, your voice a little more stern on the matter this time around. "but my boyfriend sure wouldn't appreciate me giving it out to random navy boys that walk into my bar." You turn to head back towards the actual bar, where you see Penny starting struggle.

"I don't see him around, im sure what he don't know won't kill him!" Hanks voice calls after you, its almost admirable how persistent they are, it was afterall one of the more endearing qualities about your boyfriend when you first met him, although you had to say that he hadn't been nearly as uncomfortable as these boys were.

"Oh he'll be around!" You call back over your shoulder, not noticing that at that moment said boyfriend and his group of friends had walked through the front door of the bar. You didn't notice them for quite a few minuets, giving them plenty of time to get to their usual seats as you worked on the fresh wave of customers at the bar, mixing drinks and handing them out almost mechanically.

After around twenty minutes or so Bradley comes up to the bar, standing directly behind you, your back turned as you pour beer from the tap. "Here you g-Bradley!" You exclaim excitedly, nearly spilling the beer in your hands before you hand it to the man standing next to him.

"Hey baby," He says, his voice gruff and hoars, tired. He gladly accepts your kiss as you lean across the bar for it, pressing his lips against your own. He was still wearing his flight suit, and still covered in sweat, and a quick glance towards the others told you everything y ou needed to know.

"Rough day?" You look at him, eyes questioning as you get to work making their drinks. Whiskey neat for Jake, Scotch on the rocks for Bradley and Natasha and a pop for Bob, your favorite sober companion most evenings.

"You could say that," He says, a deep sigh leaving his chest as he watches you, already feeling more at ease. You didnt pry any farther, knowing he would tell you all about it in bed that night. "When are you off?"

You pout, coming around the bar with the drinks on a serving tray. "Not until nearly closing tonight," You say, walking with him towards the others. Bradley studiously takes the tray from you, ever the gentleman even on his roughest days, his arm brushing your shoulder as you walk. "Hey guys," You greet, giving Jake and Bob your usual friendly kiss on the cheek, and with a giggle you give one to Nat too when she taps hers and gives you a lopsided grin. You could tell by looks on their faces that they all needed a dose of happiness.

"Where's mine?" Bradley whines, hand on your hip possessively. You roll your eyes at him but lean up to kiss his waiting cheek anyway, adoring the small smile that tugs at the corners of his lips.

"Awe come on Rooster, you get her all the time, let the rest of us have some." Natasha says, causing you to throw your head back in a laugh, leaning farther into your boyfriend. Your laugh was infectious and the whole group lets out a chuckle, you watch their bodies relax afterwards. "Might want to keep em coming, Y/N , it's been a rough one.."

Jake looks somewhere behind you, eyebrows pinched, stare hard. "Looks like you're in need, Y/N" He says, raising his whiskey to his lips to take a sip.

You look over your shoulder, your eyes landing on the group of sailors from earlier on the other side of the bar. "Those guys again," You sigh, grabbing your tray off the table.

Bob grabs your wrist before you go, and you furrow your brow at him. "Are those guys giving you a hard time?" He asks quietly, he knew Bradley was already on edge as it was and didn't want him looking for a fight.

"Nothing i can't handle, Bobby," You say, ruffling his hair with a wink before heading off towards the group, putting some pep back in your step. "Ready for round two already, fellas?"

The night drags on quickly and slowly all at the same time, customers come and go, drinks are made and made again and carried out to tables. The two main groups being your Boyfriend and the rest of the daggers and the group of boat boys who become more rowdy as the night drags on.

Bradley is already uneasy with them as it is, catching them staring at you one too many times and asking for your number more than once, to which you studiously turn them down, looking his way as if asking for help. He knew he would step in when needed, but he also hoped that didn't need to happen, he knew Penny would talk to Mav and Mav would talk his ear off about it tomorrow on base.

Your patience had more than worn thin, and you were counting down the minuets until your shift was over, hoping that the last half an hour would pass without any issues. Your hopes were wrong though.

You were bringing the group of boat boys another round of beers and a couple of waters and were just picking up the empties and placing them on your tray when you feel it, a large, sweaty hand sliding up the back of your thigh and right up onto your ass, giving it a heavy squeeze. Your eyes widen. "You wanna lose that fucking hand?" You ask, voice gruff as you stand up straight. The entire table quiets.

"What? Fly girl over there is good enough to squeeze this thick ass but i'm not?" Natasha had playfully smacked your ass on her way to the restroom a short time ago, something the two of you had grown close enough as friends to do. It had made you laugh, but this? Oh this was an entirely different ball game.

You see red, and off in the distance you hear Bradley and Jake both yell and the sounds of chairs scraping against the floor as they all get up abruptly. Youve done it before they can even reach you though. The tray drops from your grasp, your dominant hand balling up as the sound of shattering glass reaches your ears and your fist collides with Hanks' face, right between the eyes. You feel a sickening crunch under the force of the blow and blood spurts out of his nostrils as he slumps down, you had hit him hard enough to knock him out.

"What the fuck?!?" Bradley is next to you, arm out protectively as his friends all stand from their seats, ready to brawl over what you had done, even though their pig of a friend had done worse in your opinion. "Y/N?"

"Bitchless and Dickless over there can't catch a fucking hint!" You yell lunging for his friend. Rooster's arms hold you back though before you can make contact with him, the entire bar watches you scream and kick at the sailor as your boyfriend drags you out towards the parking lot. "Fucking assholes! Squeezed my fucking ass!"

Surprisingly, Bob is the first to throw a punch. He had been watching the idiots mess with you all night long along with Rooster. And after their long ass day he was just as ready to fight as the rest of them, infact, he actually took pleasure in what he did. His fist collides squarely with Hanks' friend and Natasha drags the already semi conscious asshole across the floor after you and Bradley, Penny coming to help her.

"Jesus christ baby, you started a fucking brawl!" Bradley laughs, opening the passenger door of the bronco, shoving all of his stuff onto the floorboard as he sets you up on the seat. "That was so fucking hot," He says, hearing police sirens in the distance already. "You have no idea how bad i want to fuck you right now but i can't have you going to jail tonight, buckle in tight baby.." He says, closing your door before running around to the drivers side, the only the thought on his mind is getting you home where you're safe and in your guys' bed, preferably underneath of him.

Turned one of my ocs, Eden Goodridge, into a madoka magica character!

My tablet is broken and i was too impatient and could not figure out how to draw her gavel on my phone lmao so here is what we are getting for now until i redraw her 😭

She's a murderous magical girl cult leader and i love her. Sharing her lore bc I'm obsessed with her.

Also base for the gem btw: https://www.deviantart.com/a1ice101/art/Soul-Gem-Lineart-V2-302887107

A kind, cutesy, and polite mystery writer, with an unexpected fascination with grotesque mystery stories. Eden portrays herself as a serene and thoughtful individual…almost unnervingly so. She always gives off an air of mystique, and seems to be analyzing everything around her, which it turns out is true, as she can read others with disturbingly accurate detail, and will psychoanalyze them to their faces. Eden talks enthusiastically about her writing, often seeming unaware…or maybe just unconcerned, about how creepy her musings can come off. She is a true Romantic and a huge escapist, dreaming of a better world than the one she lives in now, but is the opposite of naive—in fact, she is very aware of the fundamental issues of society, and hates those who cannot see the world for how it truly is. Eden is very cynical, and believes humans are sinful creatures who need a powerful authority figure to scare them into line. She has a superiority complex, believing herself to be better than most people, and believes that something must be done to cleanse the world of evil, but her cynicism has caused her to lose faith in humanity.

The only thing keeping her going is her dream of fostering connection between people and trying to make the world better the best she can.

Eden traveled to Japan to study English and linguistics, in hopes of becoming an English teacher in Japan, but she is finding it rather dull and dreams for more. She is only seeing more and more evil in the world and has begun to wonder if truly good people even can exist in a world with no “godly power” reigning over it.

HISTORY

-Grew up Christian and went to Catholic school.

-Parents divorced when she was eight

-Her life was often a mess. She was picked on as a child and had bottled up emotions over her parent's divorce. She often had to switch houses and life felt unstable.

-She retreated to storytelling as a form of escapism

-As a fan of mystery stories, she became invested in true crime and real-life stories for her own research. Eden saw how cruel people could be firsthand as well.

-Over time, not only did she recognize the selfishness of average people, but also she started to see the corruption in society itself and how it drove people to crime. And, through reading and learning of history, she saw a cycle of abuse by the privileged 1% becoming corrupted by "sins" like pride and greed and finding scapegoats to violently oppress.

-Eden saw religion as a dirty tool used to oppress people as well, but also was fascinated by how much control it could put people under.

-Eden became extremely disillusioned with the world, and retreated even more into her books, using them as an outlet to spread her views. She ended up earning fame when she started publishing them. Her novels were praised for their characters, who were notably complex and morally gray, but also very twisted and violent. They all explored deep philosophical questions, and Eden was able to spread her viewpoints on society to like-minded people through her readers

In this AU, upon meeting Kyubey, Eden jumped at the opportunity to have the power to actually change the world. She wanted to punish those who got away with their crimes. Her wish was to have the power to cleanse the grief and suffering in the world. Her gavel creates holy light, and her ability is to see whether or not people are "sinners", along with the ability to take grief away from other magical girls at the cost of darkening her own soul gem. She kills both witches and anyone she deems a sinner, leaving messages from "The Angel of Death" that she hopes will wake up humanity to their sinful ways. Upon learning the truth of Witches, Eden starts an organization called "The Eye of Providence". The goal of the organization is to "turn the world into a paradise" by finding someone Eden can manipulate into making a wish so that Eden will retain her sanity when she becomes a Witch. Eden then plans to siphon the grief from all of the magical girls in the world, and create a barrier covering it so that magical girls never have to turn into witches and she can reign as a god in a paradise where no evil will exist ever again.

The way Wis & Co. use the word 'transmisogyny' doesn't really differ from the way some abusive individuals who just happen to be autistic, pin every attempt to hold them accountable for abuse and/or bigotry down to:

"You're just attacking me for being AUTISTIC so actually you are the abusive bigot monster here. :/ Why is everyone trying to SOCIALLY MURDER autistic people!?!"

If Wis wasn't transfem and wouldn't be able to abuse the transmisogyny term, she'd use something else. Like manipulators always need some story that makes criticizing them have the optics of "punching down on such a struggling person".

And all of this sucks because this behaivior creates people who have only ever heard of transmisogyny in a context like Wis-like behaivior. It will make it harder to talk about transmisogyny where it really happens. And society already doesn't take transmisogyny seriously enough, let alone know enough about it. ESPECIALLY its intersection with race and class is neglected by white trans people with big platforms.

This is a really bad political climate to be eroding the meaning of words that give marginalized people language to address systemic abuse and bigotry.

Wis herself perpetuates a world that is worse for trans women, by eroding the meaning of transmisogyny.

The Baeddel ideology (*baeddel being an intersex slur appropriated by perisex trans folks who wanted to make a "pro-transfem" version of radfem ideology) which is just repackaged reactionary radfem shit (inherently racist, intersexist, exorsexist, antitransmasculine and anti-intersectional, - ironically also transmisogynistic since it forces transfems+women to feel dirty about pre-transition life + have to fight to prove to be woman/fem enough to matter) infects many trans spaces so badly that I've actually seen and firsthand experienced several times how misuse of "transmisogyny" has become certain abusive individuals' shield.

I notice Wis started to go from a more broadly trans-friendly person to an increasingly baeddelist/transradfem leaning, the more she began publically foam-mouthing about an abuse victim she hates.

Being transmasc myself I was super disappointed to notice that shift, even before I knew the rest of this iceberg...

Radfem ideology, including the OG white cis lesbian separatist radfems who had a vitriolic hatred of trans people and bisexual women, - and black women who felt more kinship with black men than white women who weaponize their tears against black ppl regardless of gender to instigate antiblack violence, - is ALWAYS a haven for abusers and bigots.

TERFs are radfems. The cis woman TERFs screaming at transfems, erasing nonbinary people and demonizing transmasc bodily autonomy are frequently outed as serial sexual abusers, like Lily Cade.

The original social circle where transradfem/baeddel ideology was created, revolved around a trans woman who abused other, vulnerable trans women she manipulated and isolated to bind them to her cultish group. So yes, the "we are the only place safe for trans women and everyone else hates you <3" group hurt and abused the trans women who sought sanctuary in it.

What TERFs, cis lesbian separatists and transradfems have in common is that radfem ideology ALWAYS wants to invent a hierarchy of "DIVINE INNOCENT WOMEN" and those who are not. If you are "divine innocent woman", your ability to ever be a sexual aggressor is completely rhetorically erased.

Abusers love dogmas where they can sort people into "evil people species" and "divine innocent species". Omg, almost like white supremacy and colonialism itself works exactly like this!!!! BCS RADFEM SHIT IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST COUP AND NOT REALLY FEMINISM AT ALL, whether the people perpetuating it individually know this or not!!

Radfem ideology in all of its forms is cult shit and creates an environment where people with "the correct identity" can never be seen as abusers, while people with "the wrong identity" (like other trans people in baeddelism) will be treated as inherently abusive and dangerous. Baeddelism positions all non-transfems + "wrong kind of transfems" as oppressors and threats.

There is nothing pro-trans or even pro-transfem about it, it doesn't benefit anyone else than the few abusers that use those types of circles as their shields.

"WHY WOULDN'T YOU THINK OF THE POOR INNOCENT WOMEN??? WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO /GASP/ HURT WOMEN?!?!"

- Said the white woman helping another white woman get away with horrifically abusing a latino person she's encaging in a racist smear campaign against

Radfems hate intersectionality.... For a reason!

Because it helps point out white ppl regardless of marginalizations are capable of perpetuating white supremacy, exactly as Wis is doing here, even all that ICE talk...

Ex-nazi? The last 4 letters of that feel more accurate. Antiracist work on oneself takes a lot more than calling your OCs Jewish and black, Wis.

[esther-dot]

i'm a sansa stan first and foremost, and i tried to ship s@nsan so hard lmaooo but when they start saying shit like "sansa has wet dreams about the hound" and "sansa actually likes older men", argh, i just can't. do. that. i know george said something about playing with it in the books, but i also think that he wanted to raise a few questions with the relationship, one of them being "who protects sansa from her protector?". like, there's TRAUMA in there. it's funny that they accuse jonsas of using sansa as a self-insert bc i don't know if you ever read a s@nsan fic or saw the fanarts, but they REALLY wanna bang that man 😭

(about this ask)

Nothing in the fandom horrifies me as much as Sansan. I’ve had nice Sansans come into my inbox, so I do distinguish between my feelings about the ship and the shippers, but I hate the reinterpretation of the Hound because it minimizes what he did/tried to do to Sansa. Instead of the later scenes where Sansa thinks of him being about her processing the trauma of his assault, suddenly, they become a gross villain whitewashing, victim-blamey, “actually, she wanted it.”

I once even highlighted that whole "who will protect us from the guards" idea you mention because I think it was meant to emphasize what a travesty the Hound’s assault was:

(link)

This isn’t a romance, this is a pattern. The Hound saves her than tries to rape her, Tyrion is kind to her then agrees to marry her, a child, a prisoner of his family, and LF rescues her but then starts to sexually molest her. All the same, in each of these instances, Sansa is grateful, she thinks kindly of them, and I think that says a lot about Sansa that you completely miss if you romanticize it and pretend that the Hound is someone, something to her, that he isn’t. I also talk about the whole cloak thing in that post too because I think the more contextualized reading is the one we’re meant to adopt.

When I did take a look at the meta, I was so creeped out by the nature of it and the art. Although, I want to give credit where it’s due. Apparently they were some of the first people to start taking Sansa seriously and created the reading of Sansa becoming a political factor, so they did change the fandom’s perception of Sansa in a good way. But imo their love of the Hound causes an imbalance in how they read their scenes. The point isn't that the Hound wouldn't have hurt Sansa, the point was that he very well might have but Sansa's actions stopped him which ties into a much bigger idea and important aspect of Sansa's story:

Even after the Hound assaults Sansa, later, she thinks of how terrifying the fire was, as in, even then, she is able to empathize with him, the man who held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her. It’s laughable to suggest a man who mocked her relentlessly for who she was is capable of the same consideration. In fact, it is in a state of terror that the Hound attempts to rape Sansa and his fans use that to excuse his actions, and yet, while he is assaulting her, Sansa sings of mercy, gently touches his cheek. It’s almost like the very obvious interpretation, that the way to create a better world is Sansa’s method— not his— is what Martin expected people to understand, and his surprise people have turned it into something else altogether is genuine. (link)

As for Martin admitting he "played" with it, here's a clip. It's very short, and he's expressing surprise that his female readers like villains of which the Hound is one, and I think you can tell by his facial expression that the idea of the Hound and Sansa as a couple, is absolutely not where he ever intended to take things, not what he meant when he said he played with it. There are countless old monster movies with the monster being fascinated with a young girl or beautiful woman which humanizes him/shows a soft side. That's similar to Beauty and the Beast, the girl is what allows the monster to become human again, but in these variations, it isn't a romance. You can play with/reference tropes and ideas without it actually being a direct reiteration of the original story.

Anyway, filter and block and curate your fandom experience! 😅

Long diary post about disco elysium and what it means to me

CW mentions of weight, mental health issues, chronic pain, friendship ending, being sad about the state of the world. Mostly nonspecific descriptions.

Also yes this is personal but it's ok to read and respond if you want. But I'm turning rbs off.

I've read A LOT of disco fics, but my favorite ones are those that deal with Harry's healing journey. I've fortunately not dealt with addiction myself, but I do struggle with very poor mental health. It's incredibly relatable and cathartic to see him struggle and then healing to see him get better or find acceptance. ((Bonus points if it's harrykim, but part of that is bc I've been in a relationship for 9 years, and it's made me sappy.))

Not long ago, I spent a good 6 months to a year avoiding any media that might have stressed me out. No violence. No combat in video games. Nothing unpredictable. Nothing where people were yelling. I had let my issues get so out of bounds that my body know how to process fictional stress anymore.

Work had made me so stressed out that I was constantly ill, confused, and on the verge of a panic attack. I lost a signifcant amount of weight without explanation. I was in and out of doctors' offices. My wrists and arms were in constant nerve and muscle pain. I had night terrors in which i would be attacked and feel it. One of my best friends of many years ended our relationship abruptly and without explanation, and she did it the day I reached out to tell her I was struggling but starting to get help.

And somehow it wasn't even the worst I'd ever felt. College was way worse, and i somehow survived that without the access to Healthcare i have now.

Anyway, in the middle of that avoidance period, I hit a sort of rock bottom emotionally.

I played Disco Elysium almost one year out from that rock bottom. It was good timing on my part. And I knew immediately that it was gonna be my new thing. I hadn't had a true obsession in so long (i was depressed). Then the following month I played it three times back to back i think.

This story that contained every bit of darkness that i had been avoiding, and yet it made me feel good. I went in completely blind and came back with something so meaningful I could barely take it. And it made me feel smart and useful. All I wanted to do was talk about it. It's still all I want to do.

I think 2024 being an election year also made it more meaningful to be a disco fan. I like being informed. I like engaging with political opinion. But like a lot of people I couldn't really handle reading the news. I hope this doesn't make me look bad, but I was able to process so much of last year's current events through and because of disco elysium.

2022-2023, and i guess 2024 too really mirrored my struggles back in college. I was in a really bad way back then. And it freaks me out so much knowing that i could have been worse.

You know what saved me in college? The Adventure Time season 6 finale saved me.

Truly I give all my thanks forever and ever to the power of good fiction and hyperfixation. When Finn the Human chose his disgusting meat body and all the struggles of mortal life over omniscient and detached immortality, I felt changed. Like it was my turn to accept my own meat body and all the problems of earth with grace and neutrality. If I think about it too hard I will start crying though.

I relate to Harry's passion, burnout, self sabotaging tendencies, addictive personality, vague traumatic memories, need to help people, chronic pain, unspecified illnesses, impulse to bite back, getting my sad all over the room... I've certainly lived an easier life than this fictional man, but you know, yeah. It doesn't matter. I still get to benefit from making him cry on the sea ice and meet cryptids. I get to benefit from his pain and hope. It's awesome

I think i need to play again soon. I think my current bad state is due mainly to the political situation in the US. I'm not usually one to feel existential fear, but how could I not in times like these. I could really use a lieutenant right now.

I'm also starting a new full time job in a few days, and it's in a new field. And im not gonna be able to see my therapist for a long time. Also my hands are hurting again, which is bad timing. I need those to work.

In just the last few weeks, I've felt the darkness creep back in after holding it at bay for a year and a half. I wasn't doing that great, all that time, but i didn't feel...despair like this. I'm better equipped to deal with it now than I was 2 years ago.

Also I know I can get get more out of DE. Or at the very least, chill the fuck out.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I wrote a whole ttrpg plot set in Jamrock about a death cult that worships the pale (it's far more nuanced then that but i'm purposefully withholding spoilers). This was a huge creative boon for me, a completely new experience, and I'm really proud of my writing. I also got to process some of my despair through this project. The cult in my story was recruiting people with messages of leaving behind hardship, becoming one. I even wrote a reference to Finn's meat body in a "radio transcript". Anyway it's good to choose life and not off yourself even though life is hard etc etc.

Was thinking about Fairydustshipping earlier today and wondering which other older League members they could be familiar with when I remembered Glacia. Much like Bertha, she doesn’t really get much in the way of characterization beyond “Trainer from a non specific other Region who’s disappointed by weak challengers and appreciates passionate effort”. While I was looking into her bulbapedia page to find something to build off of, I noticed something that might suggest where she’s from: Her rematch team in ORAS includes a Beartic and a Vanilluxe. This along with her opera singer adjacent design makes me wonder if she used to be a famous stage actress on Unova’s equivalent of Broadway. Possibly guest starring in some high budget productions in Galar, which is how she met Opal. Considering the possibility of her being an amicable ex of Opal’s, and being perceived as a “tough act to follow” by the shy and anxious Bertha.

Do you have any particular ideas about Glacia? For example, how well do you think she’d get along with Diantha, if they met?

Thank you for your patience. I absolutely love this and am definitely adopting it into my headcanons.

I absolutely love Glacia being perhaps at one point a Broadway- or Vaudeville-type performer, and maybe even briefly a starlet on the silver screen. But I really really especially love the thought of her being an opera singer. Perhaps she was known for her incredible singing voice and had an insane range she could hit and has traveled all over the world to do operatic performances. I could see her even being the type who, when she was younger, performed for royalty or important political figures in other regions. Like, perhaps she was at THE Top and achieved a legendary status as an opera singer that countless others have been inspired by and chased after her success but never were able to do it quite like she did. I imagine she had a voice that could move you to tears, or perhaps, strike an icy chill into your heart. I absolutely LOVE shit like this.

And yeah that would be a VERY tough act to follow. I could see many probably thinking that Glacia and Opal being somewhat more similar in some ways, both being outgoing individuals with a sort of natural charm about them that is magnetic... Which I don't see Bertha ever having had. I do personally think she's plenty charming in her own ways, but it's much quieter and subtler. And I definitely think that as a younger woman, she would have felt VERY self conscious about that, especially after Glacia, like you said.

And tbh I can see Opal introducing Bertha to Glacia and Bertha immediately being absolutely dumbfounded bc Glacia would be a world famous performer, and breathtakingly gorgeous in almost an ethereal way I think, and I get the sense that she has a natural way about her that makes it feel like she's looking right into your brain. I think she would be a polite and nice person but I also think she would be incredibly intimidating to meet if you don't have much self confidence. Especially if you feel like you're a nobody, because she is definitely Someone. Bertha is not a tall person but Glacia made her feel small in an entirely new way.

And with Diantha, I absolutely wanna tackle that, but perhaps in a different post. I'm struggling to use my brain and haven't been feeling super talkative recently but this sort of thing gets me so excited so once again, thank you for your patience.

Maria Shriver is like on a press tour for her new book and she did a podcast interview with her brother and you it's so obvious they are talking about Jack (and Caroline) around the 41:10 to 50:53 mark

https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/need-a-lift-with-tim-shriver/id1765227660?i=1000701872792

and it's not like they are being rude or anything it's just....Caroline and Jack aren't in the wrong lmao. sorry they don't wanna hold hands with other family members who want to ruin this country even more. sorry that Caroline doesn't want her father to be used as some sort of political prop.

oh dear… they weren’t rude per se but.

this whole “let’s treat each other kindly despite our differing political views” is so damn annoying to me. because it’s truly only white people who are privileged enough to think this way. white people who get tired in the middle of the fight and want to go back to their comforts and are ABLE to. because you did not see them acting this way during trump’s first term. like they really just got tired of the whole progressive allyship facade lmaodjsns. kick kennedy’s instagram page is one out of many examples.

and one thing ab the extended kennedy family is that they can get called out by outsiders and there’s no problem but when it’s someone in the family? they get riled the fuck up 😭😭 and because it’s jack, someone who i think carries slightly more credibility due to being caroline’s son and therefore jfk’s grandson, it makes them feel more uncomfortable and so they double down and gasp and accuse him of turning his back against the Family :(( so much so that they were like “well he needs help bc there’s no other reason that he’d be calling us out other than being mentally unstable.”

but yeah i think jack has gotten tired of seeing his grandfather being used as a political prop by his OWN family members who don’t even walk the walk. and he’s seen how it’s affected his mother to see her father used in this way by the family she grew up with, even if she almost never says anything bc she’s way too classy and compassionate toward her uncouth family members for her own good bc of everything they’ve gone through.

anyway. i commend jack and caroline for finally speaking up against their own family and taking a stand. it made the rest of them uncomfortable but like. it’s not about standing beside your weird ass family members anymore when the political situation in this country is so goddamn dire! it’s one thing if it’s a scandal but this is about so much more than that.

[cherrydyedsocks]

hi so I've spoken about my atla au for shikajin previously, but I wanted to talk about it again. it's been a tiny bit on my brain lately.

okay so, inojin is placed as the avatar here and his main / element from his nation is air. a lot of things here are the same as in atla but different characters and dynamics. chocho was the one to uncover the fact that the avatar is alive, (and she's a waterbender and becomes inojin's teacher for it!) and the two of them go on this impossible mission of trying to have inojin learn as much as possible. so he can eventually put a stop to the fire lord. it's actually more so chocho's plan she's like. well you gotta do something! and inojins all like you. sound like the elders.

though chocho hasn't ever had a proper teacher for waterbending, she's something of a prodigy when it comes to it. she's always felt a natural connection to the water and all its forms.

shikadai is born in the earth kingdom, temari is royalty, sister to the current earth king. his father is actually originally from the fire nation and a bender of the element, but after several political 'meetings' with temari he gave it all up and moved here to be with her. there was a lot of talk initially as to what bending shikadai would inherit since his parents have two different ones, but that kinda gets pushed aside when he's born blind.

both parents, but especially shikamaru are reluctant to have shikadai out in the world as it gets more dangerous. an attack from his old nation is more imminent than ever. shikadai ends up learning directly from gaara, the current earth king, and is able to connect with the earth in a way other benders struggle to do. he is strong and incredibly intelligent, finding unique ways to use the earth.

and god it's so funny whenever the current team avatar (chocho & inojin) show up because they see his skill and immediately inojin is like can that be my teacher?? and chocho's like yeah if he says no we'll wear him down.

all that and only to later find out this boy is the earth kings nephew! and yeah. it does take a lot of convincing for shikadai to join their team, but there's just that spark and connection almost immediately. (whilst the older inoshikacho unfortunately doesn't exist in this world, chocho and shikadai find out later on that their parents knew one another and we're close friends. choji and shikamaru are both originally from the fire nation) (thought it would be interesting and also hey land of fire in naruto!)

I can totally see shikadai being like. "you're not the avatar. everyone knows the avatar died a long time ago. and even if you are, you should be a waterbender to start." bc there have been rumors and rumors for decades about what happened to the avatar, who's supposed to be an air nomad.

inojin has his air bender master tattoos, but! he's let his hair grow over it and actually prefers it. (he was always going back and forth with the monks about it)

inojin gets annoyed and just blows a gust of wind like "there! believe me now?"

and shikadai is just. "still not enough."

also love the fact that inojins primary element is air, and shikadai is an earthbender. like YES! the contrast and polar opposites.

chocho is like. what's it gonna take for you to believe us?

oh and of course there's eventually shikajin down the line . thinking heavily about the whole avatars lover face theory again.

[rosegoldenatlas]

its sleep time!

good news:

today marks exactly 1 year since i came out!

(ALMOST) everybody used my correct name and pronouns the whole day

thats about it

bad news:

my mother deadnamed me and misgendered me the whole day (and was the only person to do so)

afterwards she went on her usual spiel about how "horribly hard it is for her and dificult to use my proper name" and how "its something so difficult that everybody in the family is struggling with immensly!" (no it isnt) (literaly everybody else got it right the whole time) (including my 90 year old grandma with memory loss) (also everybody else found out about my prefered name TODAY and instantly started using it and actualy thanked me for telling them) (my mother is the only one who knew about my name before)

also thanksgiving so i ate too much and am now hating myself for it

ended up going on a slight cutting spree on my shoulder (it was kinda funny because i didnt check how much gauze we had before hand and it turned out we were OUT and i had to scramble to make a makeshift bandage) (dont worry the final result was very hygenic and nothing to worry about, i dont fuck around with first aid) (i dont even know why. i dont care about my life i just NEED to do it right) (although it was unfortunant because i was in such a frenzy when i was cutting myself that all the cuts were really surface level and barely enough to draw blood, and nowhere near as deep as i deserve) (im usualy much better at hurting myself this just passively stings if i had done it right it would be SO MUCH more painful)

anyways that was my day hope yours wasnt too bad?

goin to sleep

hope you have a good night

stay awesome

oooh GOOD NEWS YAY

• Oh wow you're doing better than me! I am genuinely scared to tell my family except my brother and older sister BC they've also got some genderfuckery going on.

• YOOOOO THATS SICK I'm happy 4 u

Bad news is longer.. nooooo.

• what a bitch. Honestly. But hay at least it was just her she's the outlier in this situation.

• write it on your arm in sharpie and wave it aggressively in her face whenever she misgenders u. Or even better if your willing to risk her wrath, misgender her back. Call her a he. Call her their birth name but slightly to the left (so if her name is like Becky call her Bucky). And if she tries to correct you about the name just say that's how you remember learning it and that its hard to change it up after so long. And for the misuse of pronouns just ignore all complaints about them by changing the subject r smthn.

And hey wait why isnt the stuff in parentheses in the good news section!!!??? This is an outrage.

• the point of thanksgiving is to hate yourself afterwards I think. I dunno I don't eat at all really during thanksgiving BC all of the foods are things I really don't like- some to the point of throwing it up later. And we have thanksgiving leftovers for a few nights afterwards so I just have to sneak snacks or I don't eat (we can only eat leftovers until all the thanksgiving food is gone or else its a waste)

• fuckkk girliepop, Red, rule 2 of cutting is always having the stuff to clean up near you o you're gonna do it. (Rule 1 is getting a support system and talking to ppl u trust about it, which you're doing wonderfully.) At least the cuts were shallow and you may think 'but Atlas! That's bad. Now they don't hurt as much' and I say good if they get too deep you might get nerve damage and then it won't hurt at all and it would make everything worse trust me. 'But Atlas! I deserve pain and semi to fully permanent nerve damage!! I'm a bad person! :((' and to that I say where is your proof? Where is the proof of these alleged bad things because right now I haven't seen any and you are not the judge in this court of law you are both the prosecuted and the defendant. Both of whom have shown no evidence to the jury.

Wow that was a weird analogy but it works

My day yesterday was.. Ehh.

GOOD STUFF

• was able to sneak off before the political argument happened

• a YouTuber I like posted a video after a year of silence

• I wrote three paragraphs of fanfiction!!

• was able to sneak some soda my cousin brought when my mom wasnt looking (im not allowed soda)

BAD STUFF

• Didn't eat a lot cause of stuff already said

• had to misgender my bother and sister in front of family (all of us are out to everyone but the family)

• was having a masc day and got misgendered all day but eh comes with being gender fluid ig lol.

• nearly threw up the food I did eat bc its food I have a hard time eating, not a pleasant sensation I'll tell you.

• had to deep clean the entire house twice (abt 6 hrs of work total, once before everyone arrived (4hrs) and once after (2hrs) I can be lazier after BC my mom is drunk

• mom was being a clingy drunk and hugged me and I want to rip off my skin and clean the meat under it with bleach and vinegar before getting new skin.

That's all!!! It was pretty much a normal day in terms of bad stuff except the eating thing which is only sometimes but now its a lot more intense. In terms of good day it was more than usual!!! Yes!!!

Hope you slept well.

Love you Queen!

[lightspren]

readmore here bc uh. tw future parent death

ALSO on top of last post, discovered my uncle (dad’s brother) is moving back locally within the week

this is going to be Not Good

bc he and my dad will be seeing even more of each other and managing to further radicalize each other

for instance, my dad already believes masks are useless and has publicly processed he does not intend to get more covid vaccines. he is also almost 68 years old and has been hospitalized twice since the beginning of the year for his heart, that i remember anyway there may be more. so like. he catches covid he is very unlikely to survive. which is a fact i can’t get out of my head.

like. the man sucks. objectively he is a dick. there is SO MUCH of my trauma directly attributable to him and the way i grew up. It took me *literal years* to not burst into tears when a man was angry around me. On bad days I still get twitchy around angry people, even people I trust more than anything. And that’s just his effects on me personally, never mind the rampant, raging conservatism and all the horrible things I know he’s said to my sister because of her political beliefs.

so i’m like. preemptively grieving a man that I kind of hate? And still love? I feel like a bad person for not being more like Sad Upset about these thoughts but honest to god I’m so angry still. I will never not be angry. My siblings have tried to forgive him, my brother I think has completely forgiven him. My sister’s thoughts are more complicated but she’s much more open to Trying. I am not. maybe it’s all still just too close for me (she’s 15 yrs older than me) but. Fuck him.

Like I know, complicated feelings about shitty parents is the like oldest story ever. but god. GOD.I don’t have the mental bandwidth to be dealing with my father’s likely imminent passing on top of everything else.

yes I should find a therapist to talk about this shit to instead of word vomit on tumblr on my lunch break lmao but what the fuck can they tell me that’s useful. I know it all. “it’s ok to be conflicted” and “you don’t have to forgive him” and blah blah blah. I know. it doesn’t help.

so yeah. here we are. not able to fully get out of my head that he will die, potentially soon, and i will feel guilty because I won’t be that terribly sad about it. wahoo.

[monster--boyfriend]

@anthonypanics tagged me in this and then I promptly drafted it and forgot. But what's more tumblr than that? Also these things are just fun and feel like classic old school tumblr

were you named/named yourself after anyone?

I did in fact name myself and yes all three names were after someone or something. The first, Jasper, was after the Steven Universe character and no I don't regret that. She was and still is massively important to me as a character. My middle name, Aspen, I chose as well. I really wanted some kind of tree and after looking at a lot of symbolism behind various trees, the Aspen stuck with me. Of it's many different historical meanings, strength through diversity stuck with me the most. My last name, which I also changed, I took from my grandmother. It was her maiden name. I always admired it, always liked how it felt so much closer to what little culture I have, and so I took it. And as an extra little treat just for me, my initials spell Jam. Which I want so bad to be my nickname but no one has ever picked up on it.

when was the last time you cried?

I can't even remember? I think maybe it was last year? It happens so rarely now it's hard to remember. Medication is a magical thing

do you have kids?

No and I don't think I'll ever be able to parent any on my own. I would like to but I just don't think that I could possibly afford to care for any kid by myself. I'd need a partner who wanted to parent as well.

do you use sarcasm a lot?

I had to think about this because I actually think I'm slightly less sarcastic than I used to be. Like I'm still very sarcastic but I don't always default to it

what's the first thing you notice about people?

If we're not talking about like, visual aspects, then the first thing I almost always figure is if someone is some level of geek or nerd or the likes. I stand out enough visually that I will have people comment on my outfit very often in public. The way they comment tells me a lot about them in most cases. People who are some kind of nerd or even sort of in some kind of fandom, will likely recognize something on me and comment on it Or sometimes they will comment on something else and it can tell me that while they might not be fannish folk, they have similar political ideas as me. Or even inversely just the look I get from others tells me they find something if not everything about me distasteful.

what's your eye colour?

I'm sorry, I'm a blue eye haver

any special talents?

I have a fairly good sense of direction and learn the layout of places very quickly. I'm generally really good at not getting lost or if I do get lost, figuring out how to get unlost pretty easily.

scary movies or happy endings?

If I could only pic ONE I'd probably end up taking the scary movie. A lot of my favourite have been in the realm of horror lately so

where were you born?

Vancouver, BC. Lived here my whole life. Probably gonna die here too unless I somehow acquire a large amount of money. In which case I'll just move to Vancouver Island.

what are your hobbies?

I do be enjoying drawing again recently. But I also like sewing and I'm learning to embroider. I also love gardening and foraging. Cycling as well.

have any pets?

what sport do you play/have you played?

When I was in 4th grade? I think it was 4th, I played soccer at recess but that's about it. I wasn't in any organized sports. I was however briefly in gymnastics, dance, modelling, swimming, and I took piano lessons.

how tall are you?

I don't know, I think 5'5"? I'm not actually sure anymore.

dream job?

I don't even know. I don't think my body could do the kind of work I would find actually fulfilling and enjoyable now. But also some of that factory work on How It's Made looks good.

I'll tag @queerrbyrd @nebelung-dragon @umberisk @avoidingdestiny @cosmichorrorcocoa @mind-altering-bugs @minecraftgender @eispeon aaand that's all the mutuals I can remember off the top of my head but feel free to anyone do it and say I tagged you I'm tagging you in my mind

[handledwithgloves]

let’s debunk some of these just for fun and for the education of others. let it be known that op likes regulus so clearly their post is meant to be taken lightly.

first, things op considered bad by snape:

-blood supremacist/called lily a slur

lets also take into account that he has been abused and mistreated by muggles his whole life so its not surprising that he would lean towards hating muggles not to mention that almost all of slytherin house (his peers and who he spends majority of his time with) were blood supremacists and could easily influence him further than his current beliefs and he called lily a slur in a heated moment after which hes apologized profusely for which lily in her right rejected.

this doesnt excuse his actions but clearly he’s regretted since.

-invented sectumsepmra

honestly hes a very bright student for creating a curse at such a young age. should we ask why he would feel so compelled to create such a gruesome curse? for his enemies specifically not for just anyone to use willy nilly for people who he considered enemies. how horribly was he treated by the marauders that he felt he needed to create such a curse to protect himself? lets also note that he never used it against the intended anyway.

-joined death eaters

well, yes. as ive stated before it was were he lied politically based off of his own personal past experiences. an action of his that he spent the rest of his life repenting for and sacrificing himself for. that was how much he wanted to change.

-wanted to save lily only

well, he couldnt ask voldemort to save harry could he? voldemort would kill him on the spot. why would he ask to save harry? even asking dumbledore he couldn’t ask to save harry because just asking dumbledore for help was asking for too much especially because he was on the other side of the war until then. he had one life save and he chose lily because lily meant the most to him.

-george’s missing ear

well, hes alive isnt he?

- outed remus as a werewolf

he was well within his rights to do so. remus was a danger to the students and proved to be so after almost attacking the golden trio. had remus been able to control himself and taken his wolfsbane before going to the shrieking shack, he never wouldve turned into a werewolf and almost killed the kids. i love remus but thsi is completely on him. this has been twice now that severus found remus to be extremely dangerous at the shrieking shack.

-bullied children / was neville’s bogart

he was definitely not made for the occupation he also didnt choose it. as for neville’s boggart it could easily be debunked as a similar boggart to hermione. his fear to fail in snape’s class not necessarily that snape is threatening him or hurting him. as for the toad he never said he would be the one to kill it he only said that next time neville made his potion he should be confident enough to feed it to his pet then see if it lives. which is hilarious. as for hermione idk about the teeth thing but he dislikes how by the book she is. she is smart but she recites books word for word and follows them to a tee. severus the owner of harry’s potion’s book is clearly a figure it out and understand the content yourself because books are not always trustworthy. i personally agree. a true scholar would seek their own answer with the logic to back it up.

*we’ll be skipping the good that severus snape did because the list would simply be too long

next, things considered bad by james:

-snivelus

personally i like the nickname bc i think its cute and a little funny

-bullied snape

lets also include that he sexually assaulted him. belittled, demeaned him his whole hogwarts career from the moment they met because…? because. they barely talked and he just decided to make severus’s life more difficult. severus who was abused and neglected at home and now abused at school. had james chose to befriend him instead you cant help but wonder if everything would be different. instead he chose to torment severus for no reason other than that he was close to lily and didnt like muggles and was a slytherin.

lets also add to this list:

-got his family killed

in the middle of a war he decided it would be a great idea to … celebrate halloween where stangers are disguised and come to knock on your door for candy. not to mention that his own child specifically is being targeted. yet he left his wand on the couch and let voldemort into his home to kill his wife and child. at what point was this brave of him to do? why didnt they come up with a plan b or c? why would they just trust peter despite originally only trusting sirius who didnt want the responsibility and lumped it onto the only other person in their friend group. young and dumb and because of his actions and carelessness and arrogance he is dead and can never redeem himself except through harry.

finally, things considered good by james:

-animagus

this was actually really sweet but illegal and irresponsible. anything for moony. except trust.

-took in sirius black

sirius wasnt even abused. he left that house out of his own free will because he thought he was better than them and disagreed with them politically. and it wasnt up to james sirius came to him and it was up to fleamont and euphemia to take sirius in. james was just there.

-stopped the prank

actually he saved remus. lets not say james suddenly had a change of heart and cared for severus’s wellbeing. he did it because if severus died remus will be sent to azkaban. its obvious because even after the prank and severus’s near death experience, they continue to bully and torment him which led to the drift between severus and lily.

-died.

as i said and will say again. what about this is heroic? he gave lily two seconds to get to harry. like what was james going to do other than hold his hands up to try to stop voldy from entering. you have to be joking. stupidest way to die. could’ve cheked the peephole maybe.

respectfully, why would people stan a man who lived his whole life being an asshole never got to become better and died the most ridiculous death in harry potter history! other than befriending remus despite his infliction what had james potter done that could make him so lovable? what do people see in him? respectfully, he was the worst bully in the whole series and never showed regret for it.

people do not like canon james. they like this completely new different character they created who was a bully for right reasons (?) (there are never right reasons to be a bully) and is silly and goofy and basically a marysue. you do not like james potter. you like an oc, that you created to fit your narrative.

james is meant to be a lesson to harry. thats it. a lesson that even people you think are good can be bad. its the very lesson sirius told him that every person can be good or bad and has the choices. its a welcome to the world of grey (the correct one, not the story). its to teach harry to be understanding (something a lot of you snape haters dont seem to get apparently). to let him know that the world is not black and white. and severus taught harry that people can change. that he doesn’t have to let his hurt carry on with him because he will hurt others. that holding onto love to the very end could make you a better person. that being kind can change someones life (that ones also from lily).

so yeah. why stan james potter when severus snape is right there? a very human and complex person who tried his whole life to right his one wrong. you dont have to like him or ignore all the bad things he’s done to make him likable. you just have to understand that hes not simply good or bad he’s interesting. unlike james who was an asshole, helped create harry, then died… essentially.

its upsetting that marauders fans would not only dimish snape’s experiences of being bullied and abused (at home and school) but also blame him for it? saying he deserved it or ‘who else would do it?’

it’s all a joke to you lot but sev does not need to be your villain/foil so u could praise your version of james potter. no one is ever deserving of being bullied (which was the main point of op’s post in the first place)

“but james potter was a bully””he bullied snape!!!” ok? someone had to do it.

🙄

~Here’s a list of good and shitty things Snape did canonically:

Bad:

•Snape was a blood supremacist who called lily a slur.

•invented a curse for enemies (marauders)

I don’t think a good person would make up a curse which mutilates someone terribly. That too, during his time in Hogwarts.

•oh yeah later on he became a death eater 😋 (the main goal of the death eaters wasto eliminate all muggle-borns in the wizarding world and establish voldemort as its ruler)(magical nazis basically).

Plus when voldy was going to kill lily, Snape was like yk what you can kill the husband and the INFANT just don’t hurt my lily flower teehee like okay james bullied him so him not caring about james made sense but harry was a child bro

•BULLIED CHILDREN DURING HIS TIME AS A PROFESSOR????? he was literally neville’s bogart ffs and not because “some teachers are just scary okay Neville was afraid of almost everything!!!” but because Snape bullied neville on a daily basis plus threatened to kill his pet after a failed potion thingy. plus he made fun hermione’s physical appearance (when draco made her teeth all big and Snape was like hah it’s the same there’s no difference) and he bullied for BEING GOOD AT ACADEMICS LIKE 😭😭😭???? He bullied almost everyone in Hogwarts I just know it.

•sectumsempra’d George’s year off.

•tried to out Remus Lupin as a werewolf for NO reason other than his childish misdemeanour.

Good:

•called Sirius and Remus an old married couple.

•saves Katie bell from a cursed necklace

•saves draco malfoy from a terrible curse that could’ve killed him by the counter charm “vulnera saneteur”

can someone guess which curse Snape saved draco from??? You’re right! It was sectumsempra!

•switched sides or smth

~Here’s a list of good and shitty things james did canonically:

Bad:

•called Snape snivellus (was funny ngl)

•bully snape

Good:

•turned into an illegal animagus at the age of 15 so his werewolf friend (Remus) has company during his transformations.

•took sirius black in after he ran away from an abusive hoursehold.

•SAVED FUCKING SNAPE FROM REMUS IN HIS WEREWOLF FORM AFTER SIRIUS SENT HIM THERE.

JAMES SAVED SNAPE.

•literally died trying to stall Voldemort so Lily and Harry have some time to escape or just live in general.

So my point is canon james was a bit of an asshole but he still did way more good deeds than Snape even though Snape was in all the seven books like one of the good things he did was literally the consequences of his own actions (healing draco).

All of this is canon btw. NONE of it is fanon.

sincerely keep my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth he did what should have been done.

the thing with the breakdancing dad thing is like . for clarify i am in almost the same situation as ppl think shes in i was raised by my mom who was financially neglecting me and cutting my dad off from me when he wanted to see me and she was taking the child support money he was paying her to spend on herself i am the person who is the most in a position to sympathize with him but like i just dont. bec okay

that wasnt that many videos and the fact that its all holidays and special events isnt at all contradictory with 'he was there for some big events but he wasnt There in our lives', and the fact that this is also just like how home videos tend to work makes them really not convincing "evidence" of a happy childhood. like were u expecting to see videos of her saying she fucking hates her dad and hes never there for her To The Camera. when i was with my moms side of the family obviously you smile for pictures and act cute in front of the camera bc they get mad at you if you dont! also hes REALLY invading their privacy by posting videos that arent even of her and are instead of his other kids who literally have nothing to do with this. ALSO childhood evidence is always going to be skewed in the parent's favor bc the kid straight up isnt old enough to rly be able to advocate for themselves. notice how the videos switch to photos as she gets older meaning we have no idea how they interacted when they talked and the one text message she shows is them interacting rly awkwardly like two distant acquaintances

man fuck this dude for calling it "brainwashing". like Again it literally happened to me my mom was lying to me to steal money that was meant for us but he could just. say that. the concrete thing she did wrong. instead of being like It Was The Genders.

theres no proof that he paid anything. he said millions but like he just said that. people can lie. very silly and quirky that he has video evidence of his 10 yr old kid talking about youtube as definitive proof he was a loving father but he cant figure out how to censor one of the bajillion emails they send you when you pay medical bills. tbc i dont rly think he shouldve posted either bc again sensitive information but if youre gonna doxx your kids at least do it in a way that looks less like youre trying to use unreliable footage to make an emotional appeal over the Factual Innacuracies. same thing with screenshots of all the insane bitchy things your daughter and wife are totally saying

the most damning thing: dude you have your daughters phone number. if you really had a good relationship and she was exaggerating to make a story funnier you wouldve messaged her like "??? we made lasagna together last week why didnt you tell me i abandoned you at your mothers doorstep" and she wouldve been like "im sorry father i sold you out for views" and then she wouldve made a video breaking keyfabe. personally i dont believe women are insane gender-brainwashed lunatics so i figure she had her reasons

he stresses their politics differ a lot so my actual projection is that i figure madi as a kid was fine with her dad only showing up for holidays and not really being around and wasnt really thinking about money stuff but then as she grew up she started re-examining their relationship and drifted away from him as he became a sexist bitcoin breakdancer and so eventually she had a negative enough view of him to make a pretty uncharitable video bc if you and your dad had a huge argument over him being a sexist bitcoin breakdancer and then you saw a tiktok challenge about funny trauma you might very well think "oh man. the fact that my dad divorced my mom and then started a breakdancing career is funny as hell. im going to flatten this fairly complicated family history to fit into a tiktok" and then when her dad who she doesnt like anymore made a public response she doubled down bc fuck that guy he hates women. its not like shes sending hitmen to his front door she made a mean tiktok. ppl are acting like this has destroyed his reputation but im gonna go out on a limb and say that the ppl making fun of him for being a deadbeat dad are probably not ppl who otherwise wouldve been fans of a sexist bitcoin breakdancer. i think his core audience was never gonna be shattered by this which i am more sure of bc even before he posted a reply bitcoin bros were gathering around him like protective mother birds. if he didnt want his daughter to disrespect him and re-examine his treatment of her as an adult with a more critical eye, personally i would suggest he be nicer to his daughter and not call her brainwashed or talk about how its all genders fault. i think that would really help convince her to have a more positive view of him

GUESS WHO’S BACK!!! WITH ANOTHER RANT!!! your resident haikyuu simp, that’s who. (a simp who is currently listening to her friend argue w her bf send help this is so awkward)

Today I offer: sunarin teasing a (slightly) jealous reader.

Okay so let’s just say that your relationship was more on the private side- no one outside of friends, his teammates and family knew he was dating anyone. But you’ve been together for so long?? Like years. And his fans for some reason seem to think he’s been dating some other public figure (up to your imagination) bc they’ve been at the same events a couple times now and somehow keep ending up in pics together. These two have like, never spoken aside from awkward small talk to be polite. Very un-relationship like. So anyway. You’re starting to not like the fact that every single time you open social media you’re flooded with fan pages shipping them, and Suna picks up on this and just??? Posts you one day??? Randomly??? And it’s both the sweetest and most annoying thing ever bc aww cute caption and stuff but “really, rin, did you NEED to add the picture of us from two years ago when my hair looked like that?” (He might have also posted a suggestive pic of you two or a video of you kissing or something at the end and you just haven’t scrolled that far yet so he basks in the peace and hides away before he can hear your shriek when you realize hehe)

Either way it’s sweet and things calm down after that, but he teases you RELENTLESSLY about the fact you were jealous and makes it known that you’re the only one for him ever. and that he would never even make you jealous on purpose or anything, he just likes the feeling of belonging to you as much as you belong to him <3

I’m just soft for rin, my next couple rants might be suna-centric :3

WOULD LIGHT MYSELF ON FIRE FOR ONE (1) SUNA RINTARO, HE IS THE LOML AND I WILL ABSOLUTELY DEVPUR ALL THE RINTARO RANTS-

Ahem.

He’s a shit. I love him so much.

Because like, yeah, okay, paparazzi are the worst, and while he’s still able to live his life like a standard person, he knows what people do to celebrities who are in relationships, and he doesn’t want to put you through that. Your friends respected that, his teammates completely close lipped -atsumu actually has it in his interview agreements he’s never to talk about any relationships, and honestly, it’s been a life saver for so many of his teammates- but nothings perfect.

Sometimes, like an idiot, Rin leaves the house with hickeys on full display. Just. Out and about. The media loves that, and usually, Rintaro doesn’t even care, whatever makes them happy.

But then it happens.

He gets out of a limo at a sponsor event, with a ‘mysterious woman,’ dress shirt wrinkled and tux closed haphazardly.

And of course, a hickey just above the pristine white collar.

This. Blows. Up.

Because of course it does, and of course people now assume this woman is the one who leaves marks on your boyfriends body, and how cool he is for dating someone uNdErGrOuNd and whatever the bloody hell they try to spew.

And it hurts, okay, because this woman- Atsumu’s stylist, literally because the man child can’t go one damned day without spilling something on himself, and that’s actually why she was helping Rin, dumbass spilt champagne all over his-damn-self- is very obviously not his partner, you are, and it’s just. It sucks watching them get fan edits and theories on how long they’re been together when you know the truth.

It turns you pretty sour towards him, almost resentful, and he tries to remind you that it’s just a rumor and you’re the only soul he’d ever want to be with, but it gets hard to believe when you open your Instagram and it’s about how stunning “Rin’s girlfriend” is.

And you, obviously, are not that person. You’re you.

Instead of sitting together, you’re sitting on one end of the couch, far from him; he tries to snuggle, and you get up and leave the room. Instead of holding his hand in the car, his hand tries desperately to paw for yours or even your thigh, just to hold onto you, but you turn towards the window. Instead of going with him places when he goes to see his buddies, you croak out an extremely sad “how about you go with the pretty lady who gives you hickeys?”

He feels bad for you, obviously. But in his own mind, he’s at his breaking point. He needs your attention and affection, he thrives and breathes and lives because of it, and now he’s losing his mind that he hasn’t had it for weeks.

So, against telling you, and hoping to smother any other rumors about himself and Atsumu’s stylist, he makes his post.

None of them have your whole face, maybe an eye or a smile or wearing a mask (he put some thought into this okay-) but it’s very obviously not the stylist. He posts a picture of a shadow in which your hands are holding, the next one is a picture you took, where your hand was shaped in half a heart and on the other end, he held up the other half to match, and finally, a video; one where he’s laying on top of you with his eyes closed, your hand in his hair and scratching his scalp while he sleepily mumbles how much he loves you (the last video is actually one he took of you suckling and marking up his neck, his raspy breath on the other end; extremely not safe for the internet, and naturally, when you saw that, you shit your pants and chased him with a shoe, but that’s not the point.)

It’s something he clearly wanted to fix, but also wanted to keep you as safe as possible. And you certainly appreciate it, and when you see what he did and how the comments are now hyping you up, you shuffle your way to find him. He’s on the couch, carding his own hair, and smiling up at you as you approach him.

“Thank you,” you whisper, and he shifts one of the legs sprawled out on the couch to rest on the floor so you can lay between them, which you do. “I hated being so far from you but… but I couldn’t-“

“I get it,” he assures, nosing softly at you. “It wasn’t fair to you. I know how much you hated it.”

“She was very pretty, though,” you confess, and he lowers his eyes to peek at you through his lashes.

“You think so?” He asks, shrugging as you nod. “Wasn’t really my type.”
