Been thinking about his camerupt obsession as I play. Also charms that don’t exist

Just a thought: Luke didn't have anyone he could rely on.

Not only when we talk about the figure of a parent or just an adult, but he also didn't have an equal.

Something relatively close to this was Thalia, and even she, either led him (less because she led, but because Luke followed) or he covered her back. I mean, even in this relationship, where he could rely on her, they weren't at least somewhat equal because of their early trauma and loneliness. And even that two or three single years in his life ends abruptly — Luke loses Thalia, being only a fourteen-year-old kid.

And that's it. Chiron doesn't give a fuck, Dionysus doesn't give a royalfuck, but Luke has a bunch of kids just like him — desperate for someone they can rely on.

And so on for the rest of his damn short life. Even the whole point of manipulations and emotional swings from Kronos is that he made him feel needed. Luke has been so hungry for this feeling all his life that he just turns a blind eye to neglect, aggression and fucking torture, just for another swing when he can feel valuable. Literally Backbiter — the sword is a gift. And then what happens?

Luke returns Thalia and she, technically unchanged since turning into a tree... she dumped him, technically kills and chooses those whom she just hated.

I literally can't blame Luke for last desperate attempt to grab onto the only person he has left — Annabeth. At that moment he was again that 14-year-old kid who just had lost his only support.

I mean, no blame on Annabeth, but if I were Luke, I'd apathetically let myself be put in a golden coffin and literally die, too.

***

Thalia deserves special mention here, since her decision to stay with the Hunters of Artemis and loyalty directly to the goddess could be explained by the desperate desire of a teenager to get at least some support and stability, even if it means sacrificing her beliefs—

But for this Rick should give an actual FUCK! Which he didn't!

The Dark King looking at us after 30 minutes pass and we’re just this fuckass mortal living off the power of plot and dickmatism:

“A normal human’s soul would have been expelled the second they drank that potion…. And not even a god would take this long…” you’re telling me bro

Ultimus the Hedgehog

Meet Ultimus Chaos Hedgehog, the youngest child of Sonic and Shadow.

Ultimus was made in a lab as a part of a secret government program, Project Ultimus. When Ultimus failed to inherit any of his parents’ powers, the program was shut down, and he was abandoned as a baby.

Shortly after Ultimus is abandoned by his creators, Sonic and Shadow come across him. Gaia helps lead them to him, and when they see the abandoned baby, they of course take him home with them. After extensive research and testing they’re able to figure out his origins, and make sure the people that abandoned him get what’s coming to them.

Ultimus is edgy and often closed off; a result of feeling like a disappoint to his family for not inheriting any of their powers. He often has a melancholy attitude, and acts similar to how Shadow did before he opened up to Sonic.

While he didn’t inherit Sonic’s speed or Shadow’s chaos manipulation abilities, he makes up for it with his skill in combat. To make up for his lack of powers, he trains super hard to be the best fighter he can, wanting to prove he’s just as valuable as the rest of his family. He’s a skilled swordsman, and wears mock inhibitor rings to fit in with his siblings.

(His pronouns are he/him and he’s gay)

Baby Eva

[argelladurrandaun]

Just saw sansa stans completely blaming the adults for sansas bullying of arya. Which is absurd. Adults never told sansa to bully or call arya mean names. I thought the adults were teaching sansa to be ladylike and mocking and bullying arya is not at all ladylike. So how can adults be in fault? They probably didn't even know the extent of sansa and jeynes bullying of arya.

Also a laughable argument that sansa is a child and 'all children are mean'. Really? Arya is also a child and younger than sansa but arya is never mean to anyone. Bran is also a child and he is never mean to anyone. Arya is kind to everyone she meets especially children. So this 'all kids are mean' argument is untrue and laughable. Because only sansa and jeyne are mean. And they are responsible for their own actions. Not adults.

One day I will proper write out and publish the pro-hero Kirishima fic of my drafts and I will feel a catharsis I have never felt before. But not today. Today, I nap, cause my work took all my energy out of me.

Firstly, when you get this, you have to answer with 5 things you like about yourself, publicly. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favourite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool)!!/nf :))

Oh shit haha, I actually don't often think abt what I actually like abt myself!! But let's try :))

Uhhh I like that I can draw? I like that I can take the images from my brain and put them on a canvas in a way I think is visually good

I like that I have made some good friends and that they like me too (I hope haha)

I like that I'm a pretty fast reader so whenever I'm impatient to finish a book I can finish it pretty quickly

I like my fashion sense I think. Have finally been starting figuring out what actually works for my body type which is nice

Uhhhhh. I like that I'm pretty nice to people I meet :D

Gamers should I call in sick if I have really low energy and feel extremely weak because of what I did during my shift yesterday and also my stomach hurts bad

[theshadowrealmitself]

Sometimes I really wanna be one of those cuties who really pulls off short skirts and bats up at people with big eyes and makes everyone a bit flustered 🥺👉👈

but not only do I not have big ol’ eyes, but every time I’ve put on a short skirt (or any skirt really) I’m immediately like “no one fucking look at me. everyone look forward. pretend I’m not fucking here.”

The only person who’s ever been flustered by me is myself

Cause I have anxiety

[flickeringflame216]

convinced I am living in a sitcom because three separate times in the past two weeks, my phone has tried to gaslight me into thinking I was being ghosted while really it just wasn't receiving group texts

[gurorori]

bein' completely honest here i have considered npd shu be4 soooo often cause the. the shoe fits (laugh please), i feel like his past & family environment cld really serve as a push, in the end cluster Bs r all jus' sets of survival & coping tactics ya adopt into yr personality as a result of unjust treatment & trauma <- this is true

nawt 2 armchair diagnose him but like we shall go over sum npd traits. cause we kno here it ain't jus' high self esteem (when the opposite is usually evident)

↓↓↓

intentionally or nawt i feel like exvalk shu especially fits the npd mold like dat was his entire character conflict /lh (i miss him)

> a grandiose sense of self-importance

need i say anythin'. listen 2 like the first shu voiceline in ! it was literally 'i am the emperor of ymnsk academy'. .. doesn't he also go as far as 2 declare himself the god of this world? like ''kono sekai no kami da' i remember dat. oh & how much stronger & imposin' his timbre was compared 2 how much softer his voice is rn. he was very much self-focused even though it manifested thru valkyrie, he was distinctly treatin' the unit as his creation & his own creation only. the focus on the self is very real

> a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

i feel like if ya know shu ya will nod away at every single one of these cause. pre-fall valk <- dat wasn' even a fantasy, i feel like he was really narc-thrivin' back then cause it was the reality, they WERE on top. (srry if ya came here 4 thorough analysis i don' do that round here i jus' show ya smth & we both nod solemnly) success, power, brilliance, beauty, even ideal love (shnz wink?) - exvalk shu is both a perfectionist & a maximalist i think he craved it all, an' even when he has achieved great success he jus' can't get enuff, leadin' him 2 get overconfident 2 the point where he was /dat/ oblivious 2 his own (& valkyrie's, but at dat time he saw valkyrie as himself only, & the rest as just an extension, a tool) imminent demise practically laid out in front of him.

> a belief that he or she is special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions

this guy?

the guy who calls the general public philistines & views ppl who don' adhere 2 the same high standards he holds 4 himself imbeciles?

> a need for excessive admiration

the 'go on, praise me more!' guy? it might seem at first like he'd b too prideful 2 outright ask 4 external validation but if ya really look a bit into it, he's very reliant on it.. i think it gets amplified by bein' an idol too, bein' very self conscious of yr image. ofc mr oshisan wld find himself in a field where the entire point is 2 b the center of attention & appraisal.

> a sense of entitlement

i think this jus' circles back 2 every other point i made...!!!! exvalk shu is control & acknowledgment hungry. he wants 2 step on n crush the skulls of every1 who is unworthy & soar thru the skies on the mechanical wings of valkyrie.. or wtv. he is intensely focused on his goal 2 the point of tunnel vision cause he fully believes himself 2 deserve the throne. no1 else can b above him. he despises 'commoners' & those below him yet who brought him all the recognition & glory? wats the expression? rest on yr laurels? dunno if 'm usin' it correctly!!!

i also hope i don' come off as dramatisin' too much. like ik marionette is literally jus' one story but i feel it dat much stronger, i guess. 4 (introject) reasons. i hope these things don' read as a huge stretch.

> interpersonally exploitive behavior

> a lack of empathy

> envy of others or a belief that others are envious of him or her

gettin' lazy. i feel like this cld jus' b self explanatory... i don' wanna go in depth into every single one 4 shu, esp cuz. ya don' need every single criteria 2 match. 4 a diagnosis. but if ya have any specific moments 4 this one feel free 2 add on 👍🏼

> a demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes
