My sibling said he should have a game show and I can't help but agree

public school sebaciel!!!

when ciel and sebastian go undercover, it’s so fun to imagine what might change if that was their actual situation. like what if ciel was a real student who had to clean cafeterias by himself? professor michaelis ends up taking a liking to him and always asks him to stay behind or talk, in order to relieve him of these tasks… maybe he sees ciel sneaking around the school at night, brings him back to his office to reprimand him… this is all so exciting

you just know witch (and thorn, by extension) is the kind of person to call people "nincompoop" and "doodoohead" but it's meant to be affectionate

while opportunist would call you "my dear little angel" and "my sweetheart" and it would be fully intended as an insult

Screaming and crying and throwing up because the director of the local PRT branch wouldn't let me go help out the city Ziz just attacked because I kept blushing every time they put up a picture of Ziz on TV.

Anyone who's seen Monster, don't ask me who any of the other characters are or how the plot progressed before this point because I have No Clue

I don't even know why anyone would be mad that some people are giving constructive criticism to the show and especially this season. not everyone has to be happy with the way things were handled and some things were indeed handled terribly. no apology from johnny to daniel, AI mr. miyagi, robby being an eternal punching bag and the SA, sensei wolf and zara being cartoonishly evil (why should I care about some random guy we just met taunting johnny?), the list keeps going. also justice for aisha!

For real. I get that people get emotionally invested in media, I am not exempt and I very clearly have some strong feelings about this season and this show as a whole. But also like, seeing other people respond positively to this season doesn’t bother me? I’m glad that people who have spent 8 years invested in these characters and storylines are getting an ending they enjoy—genuinely. I just can’t say the same, for all the reasons you said here and all the reasons I’ve already ranted on and on about. Different people have different opinions and different experiences they are bringing to the table when it comes to fandom discussions, and as long as we’re all polite and civil about it there’s nothing wrong with that. And I get some people don’t want anyone to harsh their vibe and rag on something they’re hyped about, but I and most other users have been tagging almost everything with ‘ck negativity’. Just block the tag. Or block the blogs that are the worst offenders 🤷

This isn't, like, the biggest deal, but I do find it funny when people are almost... surprised or shocked that converts unironically believe in judaism and also unironically align themselves with jewishness. It's just something I've seen a small handful of times and it's like... of course I (and others!) unironically believe in this stuff. I'm not putting in this work because I don't have enough going on in my life

Hm getting some antisemitic vibes from this, esp considering the historical context of the time and place this quote came from. I wonder what the notes say, maybe I'm misinterpreting-

Oh.

In discourse, if there is a mild word that gives benefit of the doubt, nuance, wiggle room, neutrality, and a respectful amount of broadness, and a similar word that goes balls to the fucking wall like a targeted missile attack, 90% of the time you really should be using the mild word.

[trivia-yandere]

What type of yandere do you like writing? And out of all the fics that has been written which is your top 3 faves?

hmm i wrote a lot of yandere lol. i tend to like the “obsessed/possessive” type of yandere - it can lead to the yandere ruining the lives of the people around the mc (like m.i.l.f/the other woman/one way or another) or ruining the life of the mc directly in the name of “love” (like beast of busan/visions/sentient, etc)

my top 3 faves would have to be beast of busan, sentient, cruel intentions 🫶🏽

youre singlehandedly feeding every one of us marchil enjoyers who are also freaks, thank yuo...

What a sweet message, thank you Anon! I've drawn Marchil 3 times only, and I can't hold the candle to some AMAZING and productive artists that also draw our OTP, but knowing I made a fellow freak, specifically, feel fed and understood is very very heart warming and gratifying.

the wildest thing about the nexus play for me isnt the i love you bit, it's that it's a two person play, so EVERYONE is played by Andy and Siddig. So when Garak is remembering Tain and Palandine, Siddig is playing them. The long lost lover Garak can never have again (who died in an epidemic) and the father urging Garak to submit to his control, to seize power on his father's terms even when that's never been Garak's nature and he knows it, both bear Julian's face, which seems very thematically relevant as the ending implies Julian has kind of betrayed and is manipulating Garak for the Federation. It also echoes both the "I love you" scene and Julian early on expressing that he's baffled by Garak "insisting on taking second place" (which again, seems to be manipulation). Calyx, too, bears Julian's face as he warns Garak to expect an attack before it is Palandine wearing Julian's face who arrives and cajoles him out of his raised defenses.

But, Palandine is also acting against Julian; with his mouth she asks "why have we denied each other the pleasure of each other's company?" after Garak has asked Julian why he has ignored and been silent towards Garak after being sent the letter that is ASIT. She she remarks on how "we" have worked hard to become warriors and killers, to give up on dreams. She laments the terrible choices she's made. Both their minds make up the Nexus; she voices Julian's doubts about what he is here to do. The fact that she takes over here is also a warning, as Garak, lost in memory, is afraid they are being watched and that she could be punished. The end to me implies they are being watched and Julian knows it, is being ordered to act a certain way.

A Hebitian bears Julian's face too, calmly telling Garak "we've always been killing each other. Have you only just noticed?"- a cold reminder to Garak that despite his indoctrination, the genocide of Hebitians happened and he is bound to it as a person born of both cultures. The Hebitian too, betrays Julian, remarking upon the little choices, corruptions, that allow people to loose sight of their purpose to help others. Followed by Julian reminiscing fondly of how his favorite places on earth are unassimilated (after a previous line implying cultural genocide occurred on Earth, ergo these places are vestiages of victimized cultures) and how he wants to protect it.

But as well, the Drill Sargent and Sloan take Garaks face- the first, mocking him for being a "Prima Donna" and telling him he's not a doctor, but a soldier (in essence, reminding him to focus on the mission and not get lost in the fact that hes with one of his dearest friends). The second, teasing him about his secrets. Perhaps Garak is suspicious of Julian specifically. But further, Sloan-with-Garak's-face reminds him that other people hold secrets too, and loosing your secrets is looding power. Is it Julian's doubts again? And of course, here we find that Garak saw the whole scene... he's closer to realizing what's going on. Andd he saw it because he has no more secrets when it comes to Julian. He has given up his power.

Richard Bashir also gets a chance to wear Garaks face. First, violently shaking Julian when he skips a letter in the alphabet, then showing him off as a trophy. It is Garak, as himself, that snaps Julian out of it by embracing him. Julian now reveals part of his hand- he came here on purpose, for diplomatic reasons. And that the Federation- and Julian specifically- withheld information that could have saved lives. It is here that Palandine appears, with Julian's face, as a plague victim. She hides, "ashamed of what you may think of me". Again, she is voicing something of Julian... what greater shame for a doctor, than to do as he has? Garak calls him a vulture, calls it murder, demands to know why. "Don’t come any closer. Allow me the dignity of not showing myself. I want you to remember me as you do. Not as I am". Palandine is speaking- but isn't Julian also speaking? He at first tries to reason away the action, but in the end, he admits it was terrible and wrong.

Each person wearing their face is revealing something about one or both of them on both a direct way and a symbolic way. Giving them voices by resonating with them.

the desire of wanting to tell someone you think they'd be really good at writing a character without wanting to seem like you're being pushy 😭
