ok so im just gonna copy and paste this from my twitter bc i dont have the energy to type it out again
goshhh hi sorry i really dont like to be overly negative but umm. important: please please dont follow me if you follow/support other dalv kissers/selfshippers/etc ... i know this seems gatekeepy (which is why i dont ask this for any other f/o) so im sorry ab that
legitimately have it here if u haven't seen!! i reiterate this now because i just got recommended a post of a dalv double due to one of my mutuals liking the post, and i feel really sick right now
im sorry if this seems unreasonable , you have every right to unmoot/unfollow, but it genuinely hurts me so bad to see that stuff
#will not be naming the mutual bc im not insane and clearly they dont have malicious intent#it'd be stupid to assume that#but i hope they see this and come 2 their own decision#bc that really really fcked with my head#if it seems like im overreacting: yeah thats a fair assumption#but admittedly the ut/y fandom has made me so very paranoid and distrustful#important#ray rambles

I had to draw this prompt from @citrus-soda's Layton game generator! I think it would be funny if this took place between miracle mask and azran legacy somehow
#I have a lot of thoughts on how the plot of this could go i might add them later#but basically they have mutual distrust but they have to work together and descole has to keep his identity secret the whole time#professor layton#professor layton fanart#luke triton#jean descole#descole

pausing your regularly scheduled drama to announce that camp tensions are finally relaxing ~
#hey look theyre getting better!#noya is more determined to try n pull herself together especially after seeing how hard ali is trying to do that#plus the fact that theyre actually on their way to denerim now has her in higher spirits too#(shes absolutely gonna not like what she finds there but she doesnt know that yet <3)#and for renan seeing the determination and camaraderie in the different places theyve been in#has both made them really realise that the threat is Real and kindled an Actual drive to try their best to stop the blight#there is def still drama and tension lol but everyones startin to get on better (or at least be civil with one another) so thats something!#oc: noya tabris#oc: var'renan mahariel#my ocs#morrigan#leliana#dao#my art#so far noya gets on better w alistair and leliana bc they respond better to yknow. being talked to in general lmao#but also to questions n stuff. cos noya is the type to push questions instead of dropping them#which makes her unpopular w morrigan tho#opposite for renan lol; ali still finds it hard to connect w her and renan and leli have a mutual distrust#morri is so much fun tho lmao i love how their convos basically go#'*quesion*' - 'why should i tell you??' - 'ok nvm then' - 'excuse me i never said i /dont/ wanna tell >:('#aaanyway enough rambling lolol#brain buzzing w blorbo thoughts what else is new xD

I want to ask my friends very deep and substantial questions because all of my friendships feel so superficial (on my end specifically) right now and I want them to be deeper.
#air's antics#I'll make a list LMAO#I want to know people#I want that kind of platonic intimacy#because bonding over fandoms that die is one thing#but knowing someone and maintaining that bond past mutual interests is another#I had mentioned to my therapist at one point that I didn't want my parents to know me#And I think that has extended to my friendships now#Like do my friends know ME or do they know a shell?#Like do you actually know my favorite color or is it my favorite color because people expect it to be?#You know?#Shit like that LOL#don't even get me started on how distrusting I have become#I don't even trust my therapist#LIke bro?????????????????????????????????????????????????#can you CHILL Air can you open up to someone eventually??#😂😂#I'm so sorry if any of you have tried to or want to get closer to me#I am currently making that impossible :' )#But please know that I AM trying.#I'm pretty resilient though like it's a miracle I still laugh#Despite the numerous times I am told that my laugh is too loud and hurts my mom's ears lmao#I think she just hates my laugh tbh#And I kinda do too but well it's the way I laugh //shrugs

just realized something important about myself:
i've never enjoyed a mutually supportive, slow-burn friends to lovers ship in my life.
#the closest i guess it would be is remus/sirius?#but like#the way we were doing it back in the early 00s was all mutual distrust and heartbreak#i guess rpf ships might count#but also the dynamics of real people are different enough that it doesn't really apply

#Yeah! I'd like to get to know my mutuals better. I think I'm a little scared tho. my social battery is tiny and runs out fast#I just don't want to be treated with assumptions/presumptions/distrust that's all I ask for. Without that it'll be fine#stuff

I FUCKED UP THE ASTARION ROMANCE I CANT HAVE THE TRAUMATISED VAMPIRE ;-;
#i see so much of myself in him and him in i#hes like looking in the mirror#he is quite literally the person i was before i started consciously trying to get better#vindicative#driven by vengeance#self serving#distrusting#i dont even think i want to make him better#this isnt a case of i can fix him#it would be mutual enabling plain and simple#he gets to live his best life and i get to indulge in cruelty#i get to be my old power hungry self endlessly consumed by a lifelong quest for revenge#and i cant say ive truly let that go either

Bye i love how most anarcia fics I’ve read, Marcia has internalised homophobia
It’s the blonde preppy girl curse, I can’t look at a blonde without thinking they’re probably at least a little homophobic 🤭
#marcia has that vibe#and it’s the blonde hair and Blair Waldorf ass clothing style#but like if Blair was less stylish#an amateur cher horowitz#I love her I promise#ask#asks#anon#marcia#marcia marcia marcia#marcia x3#also don’t come for me for being a blonde hater it’s my Jewish right to not trust anyone who fits aryan standards#my dad and I bond over our mutual distrust of blondes

I have anonymous asks turned on so people can send still asks about fandom bullshit if they have anxiety, not so weirdos can send me anonymous asks about fucking genocide. If you choose to somehow have me as your sounding board for opinions about ongoing genocides beyond "don't fucking kill people" despite the fact that I'm not an expert, have no qualifications, and am not a member of these groups, you put your face on that shit like a man. Especially if you're trying to convince me that a genocide doesn't exist, I have to attach my url to it if I respond directly to your bullshit ask, the least you could do is put your url on it too. I also find it distasteful to send me an ask telling me that one does exist on anon. People are fucking dying Brenda, anxiety takes a fucking break when people are dying. Say it with your whole chest don't hide behind the anon button like a fucking coward. Attach your url to it.
#I automatically distrust people claiming that a genocide I haven't heard of doesn't exist on principle#but I also have certain rules of engagement when talking about genocide that include not going on anon#also pretty sure both bullshit asks were either from the same person#or from two people engaged in some weird tumblrified discourse that uses a real world issue as a proxy to like#argue with your ex mutual because they posted something you didn't like#or some other such bullshit

Speaking of stupid reasons to criticize the Autobots (or rather, the opposite), I actually find the ““““problematic”““““ nature of Cop IDW Optimus and other elements of the plot to be quite essential to enjoying the story and seeing it as a balanced, nuanced story.
Because like... in other continuities, the story of revolution seems to be very much “there were good revolutionaries and there were bad ones, and then the bad ones wanted to be in charge and then they fought about it for 4 million years.” Which seems very weak to me not just in the “revolution bad” sense, but it makes me wonder how the war could go on for millions of years when the Autobots and Decepticons literally had the same goal and achieved it, now they’re just fighting over who gets to be in charge.
But like, in IDW1, the Autobot insignia and stuff already existed as a badge for the previous regime of the Prime/Senate. Orion Pax (now Optimus Prime) was a lackey of Zeta Prime who was either his loyal puppet at best or being groomed for the position of Prime at worst. Most of the people Optimus Prime recruited to help him fight were other police officers and military members he was affiliated with, who were already cracking down on the Decepticon movement as it became more and more violent.
With that base of Optimus/the Autobots being actually ~problematic~, I can absolutely see why the Decepticons wouldn’t consider the war over and would continue fighting. I mean, why the hell would they trust a police enforcer/military officer who was lackeys with the PRIME? Why would they think Optimus actually believes in peace and equality?
Of course, the Decepticons have their own problems as well. What was once a universal political movement (because remember, the Decepticon movement began with Megatron’s writings but he was NOT the leader of a militarized faction until Megatron Origins) was taken over by essentially an underground criminal gladiator organization that began engaging in weapon trafficking, crime, and terrorism. From the Autobot perspective, the Decepticons are allies for equality gone bad due to Megatron’s violent influences and the gladiator/criminal aspects overtaking the actual social equality vibes.
I just think that the premise of IDW1′s Autobot-Decepticon war is so good because like, the Autobots and Decepticons existed in a way BEFORE either Megatron or Optimus became the official leaders of those two specific, organized, militarized factions. But the society that created them and the two different social classes they came from doomed them to distrust each other. It wasn’t ever a fight about who got to be in charge, it was a war between two different factions of people who had every reason to distrust each other and think that the other faction would subjugate them if they allowed them to gain power.
#squiggposting#meta#anyways that's another reason why the aversion to cop optimus kind of bores/annoys me#like yeah he's a cop for an evil regime and you know what?#that adds momentum and stakes to the narrative that clearly explains why he would be distrusted (or trusted) by so many#every time i see clear idw1 fics give OP a different background it just kind of loses my interest immediately because it's like#oh okay this is just good revolutionaries and bad revolutionaries and a friendship gone bad#anyways this post isn't about OP or MOP alone#what i treasure in canon is like... the fact that it's so REAL#unfortunately canon doesn't really give it nuance the way i'm making it out to be#but like in my imagination i can SEE the mutually earned distrust#i can SEE how the war isn't just a fight for power or resources but a fundamental fear of each other based on historic wrongdoings#and if you look at it from a pure autobot or pure decepticon perspective#you can see both sides of why they would hate/distrust each other#'turning and turning in the widening gyre/things fall apart the center cannot hold' as they say#like MMMMMMMMM it's history it's social issues it's politics#it's about a small selection of highly charismatic figures and their allies/mentors who form the perfect storm of hatred and chaos

i was foolish and checked out the bnha subreddit and it’s maybe even worse than twitter. are we even reading the same story? absolutely everyone despises the villains and unquestionably supports the heroes full stop with no criticism. i feel like the majority feel this way and wonder if we are reading too much into the text or if horikoshi is at fault for unclear narrative framing
The framing in bnha is ass bad. I say this objectively and not just because it impacts my faves because the heroes are also given the short end of the stick for a lot of things. Bakugou's arc is one of the things that started out well enough and then ended in a weird direction for the same reason, too.
But anyway. I don't browse reddit because I'm allergic to reddit takes, but from what I've heard it doesn't sound like a great environment for deep analyses, tbh. Tumblr isn't any different unless you follow the right people, but at least here it's much easier to curate your online experience and blacklist and block the topics you don't want to interact with. Following a restricted amount of trusted creators also helps imho
#I tend to distrust spaces where larger amounts of fans interact#Because there you'll always run into people with wildly different interpretations of the text#And like. Yeah. Sometimes differences are enriching#I don't agree with all my mutuals#And I like being challenged in my views from time to time#But if the differences are stuff like 'the kids will kill their foils' that's just plain misreading#And I don't care if some think it's rude. I will simply block on sight#For my sanity more than anything else#Ali replies

astarion shooting his shot with ranger cyrus at the party........
#like obviously the decision has nothing to do with actually liking cyrus bc the whole point is that it's a ploy for protection#but his approval is still SO middling... other versions of cyrus are trying really really hard to be his friend (with benefits)#ranger cyrus was initially extremely distrustful of him and even now has the attitude of like#okay step 1 let's try just being colleagues who mutually respect each other bc you haven't had a healthy normal interpersonal interaction#in 200 years#(altho in fairness cyrus may have muddied the waters first by indulging him in the mirror scene#but cyrus approached that more as a 'self-recognition in the other' thing than strict flirting)#cyrus bg3
