Ough...The angst in the idea of loop returning to their party and them and Isabeau getting together but it doesn't work because of how different Loop is from Siffrin. Like (to me) Isaloop works because Isabeau doesn't view Loop as a version of Siffrin but learns to love them as their own person, all before actually getting together. (Because Loop isn't siffrin anymore. They've branched into their own person even if they didn't want to, they just don't fit the role anymore. They have to learn that's okay in order to heal.)

(this got a lot longer than I thought so here's a read more)

As much as they hate it, Loop's family has to walk on eggshells. Loop is volatile. And while Isabeau know they'd never hurt him, or anyone else, he also knows that Loop wouldn't tell him if he hurt them. As much as love can heal it's difficult when sometimes Loop leans into him like they need him just to breathe and sometimes just looking at him makes them zone out and claw their arms. They're not telling him anything. They're not communicating how he can avoid hurting them, they're just blaming themselves for being hurt. he can tell it's draining on them, and it's draining on him as well. he hates how he dreads waking up in the middle of the night to Loop's nightmares, to wake them up, only for them to flinch away from him and move into the floor. He dreads touching Loop, even if he wants to because sometimes he just doesn't have the emotional energy to worry about their potential reactions. He doesn't want to eat across from them and watch them pick at their meal, because they wear Siffrin's face. Siffrin, who would scarf down multiple plates at every meal, with a giant smile and big eye, food smeared across his face. Loop doesn't do that. Loop's scared of making a mess. Loop's eye isn't big out of joy, or excitement. They're wide in fear, they're waiting for the other shoe to drop, for their family to finally realize they aren't Siffrin...

Isabeau hates that they're right. They're right to be scared, because Isabeau loved Siffrin. Isabeau could love Loop, but Loop keeps trying to be Siffrin and it hurts. It hurts Isabeau to see this....stranger parade around in Siffrin's face, smiling like a maniac and trying to mimick Siffrin's behaviors.

And Isabeau blames himself. he knows that thinking this way isn't good, he can't go back in time to do anything to change it. But he regrets it. He regrets not telling Siffrin he loved them, because maybe if he had said something earlier, Siffrin would still be here. If he had told them, Siffrin wouldn't have died alone and scared, thinking that no one cared about them. Maybe if he had told them, they'd have eternity together, frozen in time by the king.

no one knows just how hard I work at things. how I have to work 1000000x more than the average person to compensate for being autistic and adhd and probably other things i'm working out with therapist, and having a sort of physical disability i've not received any help or treatment for. everyone assumes I don't try or give up too soon. they think I just started, need more practice. they think I expect everything handed to me immediately with no work or effort and don't acknowledge the multiple years i've put into things. they think I have no right to be upset about still failing to get where I want even after working my entire life to get there, while watching people around me surpass even my meager goals within a fraction of the time and work i've out into the same thing. constantly getting surpassed by everyone around me who seem to barely do any work to get there compared to me. it's all handed to them and falls into their lap so easily. all because they don't have the extra obstacles to overcome and work around that I do. while they go from point A to Z immediately with no major stops in between, I have to go through every single letter and then some, often getting sent back to the start. but it's always *my* fault, according to everyone. it's not the fault of those around me who ignore me, don't support me, don't help me, don't believe in me, etc. it's my fault they don't do those things. because doing the work of 10 people in one isn't enough, just because it's me. and not reaching Z as fast as everyone else means I don't deserve any of the support or help or anything else and means i'm not trying hard enough. it doesn't matter that I *need* to work harder than 100 "normal" people combined to get even half the result! Just because I can't reach what they do means i'm not trying hard enough! ugh.

Shugo Chara is SO GOOD at doing slice of life. The kids hang out by going to the beach, they go shopping or go to a concert, they organise parties and events, Amu spends a day out with her family at the park, she helps her mum at the market, or she goes shopping by herself (though still accompanied by her chara’s), and it feels SO GOOD to watch them do stuff like this because it reminds you of when you were a kid, OR, when you were reading/watching it as a kid, it somewhat reflected your life and made you feel really connected with all the characters and think “hey, I’ve done this”.

Even if you didn’t do most of the things they did, it felt like you could, like you were really hanging out with kids your age and going out and being all mature. They do all of this while magical beings are hanging out with them too, but they are also individual characters with personalities that at the same time, are personally connected to you.

This is why I’ve always wanted an episode where Amu just does mundane things like going to the hairdresser. Or heck even a chapter or episode where she celebrates her birthday with all her friends.

Shugo Chara has always made the mundane seem special and fun, which is why I used to think about it A LOT when I was a child and going out with family or friends. “Amu would do this, she would speak like these to her chara’s, etc.”

I still think about it sometimes like that. It’s basically why it’s my favourite story of all time; because it feels so down to earth.

Human Ranger is basically the most versatile guy you can be. The Most "I can do ANYTHING" of the dnd/bg3 character builds if ur determined enough. Unfortunately this means you are very much Just Some Guy - but at least you're "Known for your endless capacity for growth" and "A pleasure to have in class" :3

[arcticmist0324]

One thing that is difficult about writing historical fiction is when you’ve set your story up in the same time frame as major historical events, which you KNOW would be on your characters’ radar yet they don’t impact the plot. What is too much? What is too little?

Was having so much fun replaying p3p that I forgot that this game is bad lol

[backtochicago]

maybe that duck finally realized that running a minecraft server with a massive fanbase including performative chronical online fans and functioning it as a brand business paying salaries to the employees are never as easy as what he thought and only collecting leasons from following someone shadow footprints will never make you realize how risky it is until you are in their shoes.

[pa-pa-plasma]

fucking hate fighting with people's who's main strategy is straight up lying & screaming & crying until you give up trying to even attempt communicating. just coming up with the most batshit, insane lies they can think of to slander you & they literally just don't fucking stop, like persistence predator shit except they're just doing it to avoid having to take responsibility. what the fuck is going on in that kind of person's brain

2019 was one of the hardest years of my life but woah I'm just remembering that I had a therapist who was insistent that I didn't transition and that I follow a one year program of proving to her that I was trans.

that wasn't even why I was going to see her in the first place, but the moment she found out she wanted me to stop hrt immediately so she could 'properly' diagnose me with gender dysphoria. she went on this long rant about how back in her day people had to spend years talking to doctors before they were allowed to transition and she has trans clients from the 80s and 90s who were made to prove to her that they were trans for a whole year before she would prescribe them anything.

Pacing back and forth rapidly rambling to my parents like a mad man trying to figure out whether or not I experienced sexism at film school today or if these guys are just assholes in a different way

hey why did my manager unprompted tell me and like 3 other coworkers a story about how he had his dog terrorize her girlfriend for three hours while he took a nap and she hid in the car afraid like it was a funny story to tell.

[sluttyten]

😠.

[tourmelion]

Yeah

People can still deserve to be taken out of the equation

Without heat or emotion, some people are just generally dangerous and should be gotten rid of if no other avenues are available

Just, logically the damage they do is too much to be able to justify keeping them alive just to have them commit acts of intense cruelty

That being said, we can never be too sure we got the right mark, jail can be reversed upon finding that person was innocent

Death cannot be

Only when other options are unavailable is it justifiable to use deadly force against a dangerous individual

When Indian police officers took the gloves off and started using deadly force against terrorists when they were also shooting at the police when they attempted to arrest them, those officers sustained less casualties and was able to neutralize the threat

( cops are still corrupt but it is still bad when they die cause they aren't empowered to use more force against armed nut jobs )

Killing someone who was attempting to kill you or severely maim/r*pe you is self defense, that's justifiable cause you can't justify the cost of them not being fought against and there aren't really other options

Of course there's always a worry of people taking advantage of these circumstances ( they do it anyway, it's just normal murder, which is when we rely on the law to find out whether it was in defense or not )

But the base morality still stands, sometimes it's just not practical, it's not pretty by any means, and it shouldn't devolve to that choice in our society, but it can, and people shouldn't overthink and make themselves miserable when fighting off the generally dangerous to save their own lives and skin and the lives and skin of others

Border control needed to kill back when a group of soldiers broke into their side of the border and started killing

When no one will stop the child rapist or murderer you have to defend yourself and the people around you

Reason can dictate it's the best option

And true that people do unjustly kill just for their own sick pleasure, but they hardly are willing to stop just cause reasonable people won't

If you've been in a situation where such extreme action feels like the only way out and you're pushed to it to save yourself or those around you don't let it burn you up inside, the action is inherently dark and upsetting but you had reasons to

My family are survivors from a genocide, they shouldn't feel bad for taking down a terrorist, or someone coming around to kidnap their daughters or any person they felt like snatching

Intense times can call for intense measures, in situations like that don't let yourself be handicapped

Don't make yourself completely powerless if you know you can do something

When the law fails you or cannot intervene don't get caught up in the titles and visuals of the matter

Think about why you did it, fall back on that and let that calm the issue, it's important to question and reflect, and to recognize if you did the wrong thing, but do that with reason, don't just hate yourself cause you were pushed that far

If you were raised or got caught up in a gang and had to to live, if you wanted to kill the guy who killed your family or friends, if you did it to help a person escape from trafficking or you were trafficked and that was the only way out or to get justice, if someone tortured you for fun and you couldn't call for help

Fall back on the reason why, get peace from you attempting to pick apart your reasoning and having it stand through it, having you question your reason and being able to answer them, being able to genuinely justify it cause you do ask yourself and you can make a response, one that you can pick apart and bring to it's end, to it's logical conclusion

Being able to wade through all the mess with reason, questioning, picking apart, so you can get closer to the truth, to find the truth

Don't just get disheartened and upset with yourself just because of a surface level title slapped onto what was done

Your truths are more nuanced than that and deserve to be met with proper consideration

All of ours are

Btw

Some of my tags outline my experiences

They are kinda disturbing

Outlining my poor treatment a little

Read at your own risk

I'm fine-ish now though so don't worry

I'll be alright

re: that last post, ive said it before and ill say it again: no one deserves to die (deserving is fake and death is bad) but some people need to be stopped and choose to make death the only way to stop them
