sometimes you gotta let go of the things you love the most

The ever conflicting urge of wanting to talk about stories and plot points I've come up with for aus but also wanting to keep my mouth shut because what if I write a fic for this one day and I don't want to spoil it

something about kageyama tobio being nineteen on the national team fresh out of high school and facing the whole world makes my heart ache.

it was everything he ever could have wanted. it was everything he ever did want, once. once kageyama tobio wanted to fly beyond the mountains he called home and soar into distant lands. once he wanted to climb to the top of the world until he was so high up that the sun and the moon and the stars were nothing but ants compared to him. once kageyama tobio wanted to do all these things alone — except he wouldn't be, not really, because he had someone who loved him and understood him and that was enough to shoulder a dream that blazed so bright it could burn him from the inside out with a single misstep.

and then kazuyo died and everything came crashing down like a satellite falling out of orbit, and the only thing tobio really wanted then was to heal from a heart full of broken glass.

at nineteen, he joins the national team. at nineteen, he plays at the olympics in brazil. at nineteen, kageyama tobio has everything he ever could have wanted, has everything he ever did want, once, but -

there are pieces of him missing, tobio thinks, a piece inside every single person who had taught him what it meant to love something so deeply it settles in your bones. there is a piece of him inside every single person who gave him a hand up out of the dark and pulled him onto steady ground. there are pieces of him that his new teammates will never know, will never understand, will never be able to put together and get the whole picture of who kageyama tobio is and why he seems so lonely when he is not alone, because kageyama tobio may be older and wiser and will not break so easily the way he did at the fragile age of fifteen, but there is NOTHING that can ease the ache of wanting the people he called home

🍁There’s a quiet strength in just existing. It’s easy to overlook, especially when everything feels awful, but simply getting through each day is a huge accomplishment. You might not always see it, but just by being here, you’re adding something uniquely important to the world. It’s not about doing something extraordinary or being the best; it’s about continuing on, even when things are tough. Your presence matters, and it has a positive impact in ways you might not notice, but others do. Give yourself credit for the small victories, the moments when you keep going despite it all. Those moments show just how strong you are, even if it doesn’t feel that way. Hang on to that thought, because it’s a truth worth holding onto as you face whatever comes your way.🍁

I need to replay dsaf 1 and 2 honestly it's a shame I haven't made a proper rambling post about the fact they literally gave Steven a fake wife (❓ why?) and then recycled that fucking thing and gave it to his former employee (⁉️ AGAIN, WHY?).

the conflict between being immensely frustrated that pokemon dlc in general just seems to throw as many new characters at u as possible so they can keep being like 'look at this! look at this new thing! new content!' insted of actually expanding the themes and characters we actually give a shit about, and being relieved that because of those dumbass decsions, i never feel the urge to buy them

Why are most the things I wanna ramble abt today wrt ocs more uh

Nsfw ish or nsfw territory

[scarletiswailing347]

so the unfortunate thing about me is that, when it comes to the media i consume, i tend to have one 'anchor' (very rarely two) to keep me interested

this is necesary cause i have an incredibly hard time being interested in things in general so i have to purposefully spend my focus on one thing so that i can keep being interested in it cause otherwise i just kinda feel meh about the thing, i mean ill still watch and enjoy it but i wont be as interested as id like to be and may even drop it eventually after struggling to keep interacting with it (this is unfortunately what happened with empires, x-life, yogscast, and the lsmp seasons without mumbo in it)

if i ever drop that anchor whether purposefully or not then i lose interest in everything that ive ever connected to its rope -- i could still enjoy them sure but then at that point theyll just be like every other filler content in my life, like music when im washing the dishes

for hc its mumbo, for dsmp and smplive it was schlatt, for the scrunkly squad its boosfer and baablu

for lifesteal its zam

idk what happened behind the scenes but ill be honest its not looking good and theres a possibility i might have to drop him :/

i hate my best friend earlier i was like "im scared that this guy likes me bc he said something that i would only say to people who i like, but i recognize thats its a normal ass thing to say anyway and i rationally know he does not like me, but still, my brain decided to play with that concept and made me have a terrible nightmare the other night about it and now im subconsciously scared that he will like me ( with the underlying concept of "i am scared of men")" and shell go ohohioo what if youre projecting and its actually YOU that likes him. ????? bitch did you not hear the part about having a dream where he abused me or ...?sometimes being asexual is a nightmare nobody gets it

That tag response chain post I made like two days ago has become far and away my post with the most notes and ngl that’s annoying me rn

[fantasykiri5]

Alright, I’m gonna be entirely honest here in that I initially had OP blocked because I get kind of tired of seeing posts like this in the Riz tag, and I might re-block them after, but as an Aroace person AND a Fabriz “shipper” (feels strong but there’s not really another word for it) I actually have some words to say about this because I’m kinda tired of the slander.

Firstly, to elaborate on my being aroace (which I figured out BECAUSE of relating to Riz, in fact); I know with absolute certainty that I don’t feel any romantic or sexual attraction whatsoever. I never really have, and I can’t predict the future but I doubt I ever will. However I am still very happily in a romantic relationship with my partner, who is also aroace, and doesn’t really feel attraction either! And we’re best friends, honestly before being partners most of the time, but we’re also very in love, and that’s as much of a perfectly valid way to be aroace as any other!

I personally happen to find it very interesting to explore the dynamic between Riz and Fabian primarily in the way that I relate to within my own relationship, because I simply feel like it’s fun! And honestly, I really like that there are so many ways to interpret their dynamic, be it more romantic, or as some form of platonic life partners, or as being abnormal about each other in a completely regular dude-friends way! (Because one of the most important parts of their dynamic, or one of my favorites at least, is honestly that neither are capable of being normal about the other, in whatever way you feel like interpreting it.) Being aro and being ace are very much spectrums, and they’re not always directly linked, and not everyone seems to really accept that, but it’s true, and it’s not a bad thing to relate to an aro and/or ace character in a way that lies somewhere on these spectrums that happens to be less popular or not as widely understood.

Honestly, 99% of the other people in the Fabriz tag ALSO lie somewhere on the aro and/or ace spectrums, and ALSO use these characters as a way to explore or otherwise relate to their own identities, because there are literally infinite ways to be aro and/or ace! And that’s a beautiful thing! At the very least that I’ve seen, there are very few people in the Fabriz tags that actually erase Riz’s identity. Rather, almost everyone I’ve seen simply relate to it in a different way, and make posts and art and writing about how they relate to it, which is completely their prerogative! Are there people out there who do erase his identity? For sure! But they are the vast minority, as far as I’ve seen.

Nobody is under any obligation to like any specific interpretations of the characters or dynamic, but just because you (royal ‘you’, not just OP) don’t like it, or don’t relate to the character in the same way, doesn’t automatically make it Morally Evil and Automatically A Horrible Thing To Engage With. You don’t have to engage with it if you don’t want, that’s why the block and mute buttons exist. But it just feels rude and, frankly? Very invalidating and hurtful to say that the way you relate to a character is the ONLY correct way to relate to said character, and everyone else is stupid or wrong.

Idk, it just feels like it would be way easier and simpler to just block and move on if you’re not about it than get mad about it. That’s just me though.

I think my biggest issue with fabriz as a concept is the fact that not only do people do the classic "this character is aro but it's ok if while shipping him I call the relationship a qpr!" And just make the relationship the SAME as with any allo character and have no consideration of Riz's canon uncomfortableness and fear towards the idea of romance, but also the motivation of "but they have so much chemistry!! What if I just want the to be soft and grow old together?" Because... That's such a big tell on how you see things.

It's a big tell on you not getting what Baron said to Riz. Why is it that you can only envision the "growing old together", maintaining closeness and companionship as the years go by, only by having them be paired up? By having it be exclusive, it be them two as a monogamous relationship where they live and sleep together and kiss every day?

Why is it that you look upon the character who's biggest fear was "your friends will all pair up and leave you alone because the romantic relationships are worth more than your friendship and you will be forgotten because you don't want to parttake in this. You are most unlike your parents in a happy union", and say "he can only grow old with one of his best friends and be happy if they're in an exclusive, monogamous, amatonormative romantic relationship "qpr"?

//why are you using that sharty textbox sprite instead of using the shopkeeper screen scene thing for answering asks

This is a bit perplexing to me, since you can see from my intro post that I do, and if you scrolled down a little you do see that I have answered asks using the screen format.

The thing about posts like that is that they need to be edited together! To my knowledge theres no generator to make the screen text in the Shopkeeper scene, so I have to use IbisPaintX to edit in the dialogue from the text generator into a screenshot of the Shopkeeper scene, it's a bit of a lengthy process.

Sometimes I just dont wanna do all that LMFAO I dont really have a lot of free time to edit it all together, so I use the generator to quickly answer asks without too much time spent on them! I hope this explains it lol
