the indecision between ‘i love this character and i want them to be happy/i want to see more of them’ and ‘it would be most narratively compelling/intriguing if they died or otherwise were (mysteriously) never seen or heard from again’

I've been listening to Hotel California by Eagles and now I think it would be really funny if we trapped our ocs in a hotel with no real exit. They just wanna have a nice time and then realise "hey. Where'd. Where'd the doors go. Hey I can go outside but I can't leave the property. What."

(The hotel is also haunted and something may or may not eat you)

The majority of the sex scenes in modern day Choices would be about 1000000x better if they just cut down on all the damn talking

do you have any thoughts on the story of abraham and isaac? my parents talk about it and praise abraham for being willing to kill his son which..... scares me to say the least, and i'd love to hear your perspective as someone who seems more well-adjusted

Where I am now, it disgusts me more than anything. The interpretation of "I'm willing to sacrifice your life if I was told to" feels like the step before "I put you into this world and I can take you out of it." It's entitlement to a child, who is an independent individual, just because they are dependent on you for survival. I prefer the interpretation of understanding the actions you're taking and the reasons why (like how there's multiple religions that don't eat pork because it was so unsafe to eat at the time), especially if it's at someone else's expense.

Where I was in the thick of it all, it gave me morbid comfort that scares me now. I had fantasies of being a martyr for the church and the idea of being the next Isaac was just so appealing. Being a hand-selected sacrifice chosen by the Good Lord Himself? Sign me the fuck up, babey!

I think if I admitted that to my family, they'd be horrified.

It's another one of those stories or beliefs where I think the majority of christians just regurgitate what they've heard. It's a point of pride and devotion, but there's no personal reflection or cross-cultural awareness of it. Lean not unto your own understanding and whatnot. It's the potential that scares me the most, like the Quiverfull movement with the Duggars or Turpins. I'm sure there's stories now, but I can't remember them off the top of my head

(Also I will be telling my therapist someone on Tumblr called me "more well-adjusted" thank you anon)

i currently have a half-baked theory about alastor…

ok so in the finale, he said that he wants freedom, meaning he has been restricted in some way. but as far as we’ve seen and can tell, he is basically free to do as he wishes. and of course there’s the theory with lilith being the one owning his soul, which he might have traded away to gain such insane amounts of power. but what has he ever done that didn’t seem to be in his best interest?

charlie.

yea, yea, i hear you and your sassy clips of him saying he’s helping the hotel simply for boredom’s sake and that he enjoys watching people try to do something meaningful but then fail in the process but! that would imply that he’d done so before, but we have never, not once, ever heard that he even dabbled in such a thing. (and don’t you dare try to tell me that he actually cares about charlie, the man is the most manipulative, sadistic little mf i’ve ever seen, and that’s saying something because i’ve seen miraculous ladybug and hate liela rossi as much as anyone else.) the only things we know about his past is that he appeared in hell very suddenly with lots of power, he toppled countless overlords overnight, and his radio podcast killed tons of demons. nothing of this has to do with other beings in hell trying to make it better (as i highly doubt any of those overlords had good intentions since they were, well, overlords). but he doesn’t seem the type to do things meaninglessly, he always has ulterior motives.

but then if his excuses of entertainment are as flimsy as i’m making them out to be then why would he ever help charlie? well, i think that brings us back to lilith. it’s far from a rarely-noticed detail that the length of alastor and her’s disappearances were for the same amount of time and while we know that lilith spent that time in heaven (if that even is lilith, but idk enough about that theory so i’m just gonna assume that it’s her and that she’s been in heaven the whole time), we don’t have a smack-dab CLUE as to what alastor was up to during his vacay. then he just shows up out of nowhere, at the idealistic princess of hell’s doorstep of all places.

well, i’ve had a sneaking suspicion for a while that lilith’s deal (at least part of it), in exchange for his power, was to help charlie in some way. i’m thinking that’s why he seemed so torn-up about how he almost ‘died for his friends’. he doesn’t care for any of them (except maybe nifty but i think that’s just bonding over shared mania (i think rosie (and maybe zestial) is the only one he truly, honestly cares about, but i get the feeling that even that relationship is pretty business-based)).

we have no idea what lilith is like, we have absolutely zero characterization of her except for what charlie explains about her in episode 1, that she’s passionate and hardworking and stubborn and independent—qualities that charlie mostly has in abundance. so i would say that she’s cared about charlie this whole time but due to whatever is keeping her in heaven, she can’t help her, except that lilith seems a little too malevolent to care about charlie’s hotel. why would she? she fell in love with a dreamer who shared her rebellious heart and for this, she was the first human soul cast into hell. she has never had any kind of reason as to why she would ever want to go to heaven, or anyone else for that matter (as she did work to make hell into the semi-civil place it is now). and we have no idea how close she and charlie were before she left (i suspect we’ll learn more about that in season 2), so we can’t assume that she’ll just support charlie, whatever her aspirations may be. so i honestly have no idea as to why lilith would enlist alastor to help charlie, but i am fairly convinced that this is the case of what’s happened.

thoughts?

hey guys did you know that s1 e20 is the first and only time garcia ever calls hotch by his first name

[zipquips]

i met with my advisor! he's so so so so so chill. he gave me some good class advice :)

the program i'm in expects you to start on research right away but he's cool with students not doing that in case the adjustment to program is hard so i won't do any research until mid september so i have time to adjust and figure out if i can do it which is so :))))

Overtime, it has become a realization that silliness can be a weapon.

A strategy.

A distraction.

A way to weasel out of circumstances by purposefully playing the fool.

Tapping dancing your way out of situations, by donning the hat of the mad hatter and declaring it a Birthday. Turning the tables away from the original origin of the conversation. While the soft, squishy and fragile part of yourself remains safe and sound.

Flirting, by any other name, is a means to dig into that soft hearted squishiness. Like cracking open an oysters shell, to snatch away a pearl. What better way to redirect one's aim than to improvise?

And yet, and yet, and yet.

You have found that your fancy footwork is slowly being matched in stride. The line is blurred between self-preservation and true enjoyment.

You're dancing with danger.

–

The hand that is splayed in front of your face, palm up. So still. With an inhuman statue-like elegance. The fingers bloomed open gently, waiting for your fingers to lace with theirs.

"We keep bumping into each other, don't we?" The voice is silken and playful.

Time felt sluggish as your mind worked feverishly to find a way out of this debacle. You take their hand gingerly by their fingertips. Weary to avoid the venus fly trap laid out before you. Once that hand closed you were going to be at their mercy. A brief idea flickered across your temple, before committing to your plan, ducking your head down and blowing a raspberry into their palm.

The magic that held you transfixed is broken. A noise, a squeak of shock has the hand retracting back.

You look up with a grin.

"A bit."

Sharp eyes. Sharper eyebrows. You watch their expression change, from shock, to annoyance, to something with a smile. A smile of something unreadable, and unknown.

"A bit." They echo your words. Walking around you slowly, and you pivot to match their stride. "You know, if I didn't know better. . . I would think you were avoiding me."

"Really?" You chirped, feigning a wide eyed curious smile. "Me? Why, I would never."

They scoff, pulling their lips back to show teeth, and what sharp teeth they have. Your eyes linger on the fangs, pearly white and polished before your eyes dart up. Studying their eyes and regaining the slipping hold of your mask.

"You are. . . really something," They mused, shaking their head.

"I hope it's something good!" You quip, grinning as you rock back and forth on your heels.

"Certainly," That wide grin is quick to reappear, but you pretend to look thoughtful and continue to rock.

"I can't seem to ever get a proper read on you. It's as enticing as it is maddening."

That bit makes you blink, eyebrows raising slightly in amusement.

"Good! That is exactly what I am hoping for," You flourish a bow, bending forward grandly.

They bite back a bark of laughter. "To entice me, or drive me mad? Because dear, truly, I am wrapped up in your mystery."

Now that little bit did take you by surprise. It was sweet, with a hint of affection that had your stomach doing loops.

"I wish. . . to be confusing!" You declare instead, looking all for the world triumphant in your task. You look at them, eyes wide and mirthful.

"You certainly are that,"

And in spite of yourself, you laugh.

Never has my opinion about a non-antagonist character changed so drastically than it has about Shigure ok there might have been some before but right now I can’t think of any.

I went from “Oh he’s just a silly lil guy” to “*sobs* silly *sobs again* DAD” to “ohhhh….silly….pervy😳lil guy” to “ohhhh….silly mysterious guy???” to “oh- oh….😬”

[hi-there-buddies]

If you’re writing about Spider-man and you make him say “get it?” After more than one quip, you aren’t writing him correctly

[juvederm]

i wish i had more josh mutuals that don't seek to include chris in everything like. i don't hate chris at all or dislike cc, i said this already but. just clarifying again.

i don't like how most ppl who like josh don't even really like him. they usually like josh if chris is also there. like y'all don't get me. i'm here solely for josh and i like to have fun w characters on their own. i don't get why most interpretations of josh always include sam or chris.

and abt ppl only liking josh when sam or chris are there-- i don't mean to be rude, but josh is more interesting than those two combined, bc of the stuff he has going on beneath the surface. he doesn't need them to be interesting, he's already compelling enough on his own.

im still insecure about posting in this fandom even tho i do it every day. but i'd be less nervous about posting my josh stuff if the people who claim to "like him" weren't so. odd. cuz the josh mutuals i have rn (who solely like josh on his own...) are okay with every silly doodle i draw of josh, bc they don't care. they're here for him and they just like him

meanwhile cc likers that i've met are really. not people i get along with. bc like i said, they kinda only like chris and josh and that's it. id go as far to say they don't even like the game lmfao bc they only like it for cc.

idk... real josh fans are ok with seeing him in a dress from time to time lol. one of the main reasons i can have fun with his character is bc i know Allll there is to know about the source material + josh's canon depiction. which i honestly love, i don't need to change josh in order to like him. but i feel like some ppl do that and those r the people i can't get along with

i wish ppl were more open to having fun w these characters. posting them in silly outfits and such shouldn't be like, anxiety inducing lmfao i want to have fun and i wish others would be more open to that but as of rn, it just doesn't seem that way.

it's hard to tell if i'm making this up or if my anxieties are real, but the thought of it being real is enough to have me stress over it every time i think of posting or if i'm drawing something.

but everyone who follows me for ud-- hi, thank you for following and liking and reblogging my stuff, esp thatoneudguy cuz he supports like everything i say and make lol (and special shout out to queerkearney for always complimenting my work, its rly motivating <3) y'all are cool!!
