Cardan sheltering his children ( and his adoptive children too ) from seeing the corruption of the court by subtly & gently sending them away by making out court business to be this boring thing that adults need to do rather than make being high king his whole personality screams that he is a better father than eldred could have dreamed of.

That and still managing to create fun, and loving memories in their little heads all the while sheltering them. "Cardan plays with me. He magics napkins and spoons into fighting each other until they drop dead." See how it is cardan and not the high king?

Because he is always cardan, or dad, or daddy to his kids. Argue with the damn wall.

This week I received a couple of really lovely AO3 comments on a few older pieces of writing, and it kind of Got To Me (in a nice way) because I haven’t shared anything new for a while now and had been feeling a bit weird and maudlin about the whole thing. And then I realised that this past week marks two years since I posted my very first (poorly edited) piece of writing on AO3 then here on Tumblr, which is just crazy. So I just wanted to take a sec to say thank you, truly, from the very bottom of my heart to each and every single person who has spent a moment of their time reading something I’ve written, especially if you’ve also stopped by to say hello or to geek out about aliens and space wizards or to send a cursed ask about David Schwimmer (I have never forgotten you, anon). You’ve helped create a beautiful, supportive, creative place that has meant so much to me, and made me smile like a fucking weirdo loser down at my phone while out in public more times than I can count. I really mean this: you are the absolute best x

We saw you from across the hall and we love your vibe. Is it okay if we clone your personal data?

it doesn't matter how old you are, let Esme Cullen be your mother.

You're an orphan? Mama Esme is there.

Your parents are shitty? Mama Esme is there.

You have great parents and a great relationship with them? Mama Esme is there.

Mama Esme is and will always be there.

I was tagged by @superflare @stargazer-sims @kissalopa ages ago, I’m so sorry I took so long!

Do this uquiz

Do this picrew

I should have tagged some folks but I took so long I have no idea who has done it and who hasn’t! 😭 (I don’t mind removing this and tagging anyone who wants to tell me they haven’t done it and would like to! There’s no shame in it!)

I took this quiz 4 times with mostly varying answers except the zoo one and got the same thing… it’s not totally off though I guess….. 😅

Today I had coffee and waffles with my uni besties (one was in a videocall because she’s living in Netherlands now) and we got... dark. We all cried and all I want to do now is boot up my comfort save in the sims but I’m exhausted and I feel like:

Anyway. I tried to order a non-alcoholic daiquiri FOUR TIME, and everyone laughed at me. Finally, on my last night, I have succeeded. And it came with whipped cream. Well. Who’s laughing now?

absolutely do make a hugging tier list

For some reason tiermaker doesn’t have this as a pre made tier list??? Weird.

This list consists of F (literally can’t hug if I tried), D (I guess I can hug it), C (I can hug it!), B (I can enjoy hugging it!), A (I can love hugging it!), and S (I love hugging it!!!)

You may notice that all but S use ‘can hug’, as if a kingdom is A tier, I can love hugging something from that kingdom, but not all. If a kingdom is B tier, I can enjoy hugging something from that kingdom, but not all. If a kingdom is C tier, I can hug something from the kingdom, but not all. If a kingdom is D tier, I can technically hug something from that kingdom, but not all. Ranking is (in most cases) done based off of the most huggable thing in that kingdom.

Anyway, KINGDOMS:

Bacteria: not huggable at all. If I was hugging a bacteria, i wouldn’t even know. The largest bacteria are only a centimetre long, i couldn’t even hug that with my fingers. F tier.

Archaea: Archaea are so similar to bacteria they were in the same domain for the longest time. The largest Archaea are even smaller, at 15 micrometres. No thanks. F tier.

Protozoa: we’re getting larger, but they’re still single celled organisms, and I like my huggees to be multi celled. The largest Protozoa are up to 20 centimetres in diameter, which is about the size of a small plushie, although probably much more fragile. I assume they’re squishy! D tier.

Chromista: this is the kingdom I know least about, and the only one I didn’t know about prior to making this. I believe it’s still proposed, so points off for maybe not even being a kingdom. Apparently they’re the first kingdom capable of multi cellular organisms!!! Massive points for that. And get this - the largest chromista is a type of algae that can reach 30 METRES IN LENGTH. That is something I can hug! Sadly, it’s still basically an unmoving object, that’s maybe squishy and maybe warm. C tier.

Plantae: the one that started it all! Obviously there are some plants too small to hug, but that applies to all kingdoms. Plants are cool, but only some are huggable. Normally I’d use ‘squishy’ as a sign of being good to hug, but plants aren’t really squishy, due to their cell wall. This means that the most huggable plants have to be sturdy, as huggability is like a horseshoe, the most and least squishy are the most huggable. Most plants, like flowers, grass, etc, aren’t sturdy enough to be hugged, but aren’t squishy enough to be hugged. You wouldn’t hug a flower, you’d admire it, or stroke it, or something, y’know? But trees - ohoho trees - they singlehandedly carry the Plantae kingdom from C to B. They’re so sturdy that their huggability has created the term ‘tree hugger’. I can, have, and will enjoy hugging trees. B tier.

Fungi: I love these little guys, they’re so weird and interesting, but that doesn’t equate to huggability. What does is size, squishiness or sturdiness, warmth, movement, and vibes. Fungi have the capability to be massive, and they can be sturdy or squishy! Very cool. Very huggable. The only thing keeping them out of A tier is their vibes. If I’m hugging a fungus, I’m concerned for my own health. They release spores, a fair few are poisonous, hallucinogenic, etc. They just don’t have the friendly vibes that plants and trees have. But still really huggable, and I’m sure I could enjoy it! B tier.

Animalia: HERE’S WHAT YOU’VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!!! Animals have everything - they can be large enough to hug, they can be sturdy and squishy, they can move, and, best of all, they can be warm, and have incredible vibes. Almost every species in this god blessed kingdom can be hugged, and for lots of them, I’d absolutely love to hug them. From cats, to dogs, to elephants, to lizards. Each and every species dispenses great hugs, and I love them for it. Easy A tier. But one stands tall above the rest…

Homo Sapiens: THEY AREN’T A KINGDOM, BUT THEY ARE TO ME. As a Homo Sapiens myself, my body is DESIGNED to hug other humans. One of the greatest joys in life is hugging a human you love. They have everything; they’re just the right size, so not only can you hug them, but they can hug you; their skin is soft and squishy, but their bones are sturdy enough for a good frame to hug; they can move on their own, so they can react to your hug, and hug you back; they’re warm, so you can snuggle together for hours and hours without getting cold; if you love the person, their vibes are immaculate. If you love them, their might not be a thing on the earth with vibes better than the person you’re hugging. And the very best thing? They’re sapient. They understand your hug, and they can reciprocate. They can not only hug you, but also talk to you, interact with you, and love you. Homo Sapiens are the best huggers in the universe, and I have never not loved a hug with one. S tier. Without hesitation. It’s not even close. I love you all, and I’d love a hug with each and every one of you.

YEAH........... YEAH..... LIKEWISE, NO NOTES AT ALL, THAT'S EXACTLY IT... Main antagonist deaths are often treated as "comeuppance," but that would be the ultimate comeuppance for Aoki. As it stands, the only people who actually suffer for it are Ichiban and Jo, and Ichi didn't even do anything wrong. Also please I'm positive there's more to wring out of Aoki and Jo for an essay 😭😭at the very least, I always love to hear your perspective!

"he'd made a social circle for himself where people predominantly liked him for the power and influence" <- incredibly Mine-core of Aoki btw (I also feel the rest applies a little in terms of Mine probably being very quick to write off people who Do care about him as not caring about him, as with Katase, but it's nowhere near the extent of the Arakawas)

Wait actually it's kind of funny... for both Mine and Aoki, I was so sure their endings would go a certain way. Mine and Kiryu'd fight Richardson off together and Ichi'd, I don't know, shield Aoki or hug him so Kume couldn't get to him in the first place, or after that INSANE direct parallel to Arakawa running to the hospital with Masato, he'd miraculously pull through like he did on New Year's. Tormented with visions of the better timeline... With Aoki in particular, it makes me want to tear my hair out because the moment of him choosing to put the gun in the locker was REVOLUTIONARY for the series, looking at the characters he was most heavily based on.

Anyway. Bottom line. These bitches need to hug it out. It was so evil Arakawa didn't hug Ichi at Omi HQ or on the waterfront like bro stop being """manly""" for five seconds you're ruining my life you're ruining your own lives

There'd genuinely be nothing more painful yet more satisfying for an antagonist than being confronted with the consequences of their actions and having to navigate life after having making those decisions, ESPECIALLY when it comes to mending the bonds that- for anyone else- would have shattered long ago. With Aoki being motivated by the want to be loved and appreciated for himself, it would've been nice to see him finally acknowledge that he did have that love and start to better himself as a result (however much he'd be able to while in prison anyway lmao).

The Mine and Aoki comparisons are so real though, I remember joking to myself about it days after beating the game but it just fuels my mental illness every time I think about it ☠️ I LEGALLY AM NOT ALLOWED TO GO OFF ABOUT THE Y7 ENDING I'VE DONE IT TOO MUCH it makes me so mad every time I think about it 😭 ESPECIALLY THE PARALLELS WITH ARAKAWA AND THE LOCKERS UGGGHHH IT COULD HAVE BEEN SUCH AN EPIC CONCLUSION WITH THAT... Arakawa running from the lockers at the start of Aoki's life compared to Ichiban running from the lockers and getting Aoki to the hospital so Aoki can restart life I'm Going To Kill Someone (myself) (in Minecraft)
