power nap time?

I truly think that one of the biggest tragedies in BEAST in regards to the Akutagawa siblings is that, at the core of it, Ryuunosuke viewed himself as a beast, and showed his love in a way a beast would, while Gin was the only person who ever saw him as human and judged him accordingly. She did not see a beast acting like a beast, the way everybody else did, she saw a human acting like a beast and it’s part of what drove her away.

The ADA saw their rookie detective at his worst, and watched—and continues to watch—him grow from a beast to a human over time. Consumed by hatred and only knowing how to be cruel, and slowly learning how to become human.

Gin saw her brother at his best—the best he could be in their situation—and then watched him grow from a boy to a beast within moments. The scraps of humanity that he had, all disappearing into rage so primal it no longer made him seem human.

Tbh i am not surprised that a person who openly talked about having drinking problems since 1d days, because of how crazy 1d worked has been agressive. What surprises me is people being surprised (they never seriously saw drunk person?). But i am also confused about this whole book. Apparently Maya said that that book is not fully bout Liam but compilation about her exes and some of the worst parts are not about him. But recently she said that the book is “ofc about him” so what is true then? Or did she meant it that ofc some parts are about him or that whole book is about him?

Sorry, just confused

I also am not surprised- we've learned so much more about the real stories of things and about the guys' actual lives over the last years, and the story that has unfolded around Liam has been totally consistent throughout if you've been following it, and so the information Maya is telling us is shocking and upsetting but not difficult to believe. I got an anon yesterday saying they were worried about getting similar revelations about the other boys, like "if Liam could be doing this we just don't know, any of them could", and while in a way that's always true I guess, anyone could be doing anything in private like... that doesn't really concern me. Because none of these Liam revelations are coming out of nowhere, there have been many MANY steps along the way leading us here if you've been watching, and he has talked openly about both his mental health struggles and his addiction issues. So to answer that anon... to find out something similar about Louis would in contrast contradict everything we know about him and no I'm not worried about it. Is he probably very irritating, absolutely, but an abuser or a loose cannon, well that news would shock me. But anyway as for the book I don't find it strange that she was nervous when it came out and treading lightly and later decided, fuck it. In the absolutely on point tiktok she dropped today (YES👏GIRL👏FUCKING TELL THEM👏) she even mentions attempts to keep her from publishing the book, presumably by Liam's team, that I am riveted by and cannot WAIT to hear more details about actually- like I said I don't find it at all strange that she was nervous and downplayed it a bit then. But if she says now that it's just about Liam, well, I would say it's been clear from the beginning that the book is their story. Maya herself brought up the parallel of songs being written about stuff and I think it's the same thing; it's true (she was in an abusive relationship that involved certain kinds of events) but maybe not 100% literal (I'm sure details were changed to make the story work, it's not like a word for word timeline of their interactions or whatever).

I feel like ? I gotta remind people it’s ok to unfollow a blog when it upsets you in any way >> like if I ever do that sure, you can let me know if it was anything I did personally I’d appreciate it but if you just don’t enjoy something it’s ok to unfollow ;w; can’t stress enough how important it is to put your mental health first 👌

Nesta is allowed to be angry and not hate herself for it. Being closed-off doesn’t mean suicidal. Every argument she was ever in, she was right for it.

The plot of acofas-onward is IC propaganda b/c the author couldn’t imagine anyone hating her favs and not thinking that they’re a disgusting human being for doing so

I love that Peaceful Property can hit so many familiar story beats, and use so many well worn tropes, but still feels fresh and surprising? Like, the last ep was fairly predictable to me, but it somehow also didn't feel predictable. Like the reveals didn't make me roll my eyes and go 'well, duh, saw that coming a mile away' but had me fistpumping like 'heck yeah, I knew it!' And that may sound like the same thing, but it's an important distinction

I've had this reaction a few times along the way, as well as being genuinely surprised, in a 'wow, I did NOT see that coming' way, and I think it's that mix that keeps me on my toes. But the genuine surprises never feel like they're out of left field either, or like they're solely there for the shock factor, you know?

I've said it before but the writing is just SO satisfying to me and it's such a well crafted show. And it's so emotionally engaging as well and entertaining! I can easily see this becoming an all time fave if I like the resolution

I know she had era tour but I don’t think I can do it w a broken heart is actually eras tour

I thought of this too. Maybe sometime down under? No way to know, but I did think the line she threw in at the end “Try and come for my job” might have hinted at something. I can read it both ways. As always, we’ll never know for sure. But I think it’s fair to say she has felt this way many times. It reminded me of Katy having to go on stage immediately after having her husband tell her he was filing for divorce. And it’s relatable. We’ve all had to put on a happy face at work and pretend things are fine at home.

I remember you mentioning in one of the author Q&As I think, that Tallys considers the MC and her to be in a relationship, but without the title… would she get jealous if we slept with someone else at this point in the “relationship”? Considering she is probably confident we feel the same?

Try sleeping with the one-night stand in Rivercross in Chapter 6 and see what happens! 🤣

I'm rereading Chapter 2 of why did love put a gun in my hand and the bit where Hunter says "It's just his temper, he doesn't mean to do it" is making me so sad. I'm used to thinking of Hunter as the character with the most accurate read on Belos in this AU but even HERE he doesn't seem to realize how calculated the abuse is. 😟😟😟

i went back to remember what the full context for that bit is and ough. god. yeah. it's a gut punch:

hunter is Certainly the character with the most accurate read on how violent and dangerous belos can be. but even so, he can't conceptualize the level to which he's been manipulated....

when belos hurts HIM, that's just fulfilling a mutual contract between them. sometimes belos needs to hurt somebody and he can't help it and he and hunter both know it's best if hunter takes that on, right?? no need for anybody else to be involved. keep it in the family

hunter saying "i know how to talk to him" because talking to belos on luz's behalf has always worked Before, because belos wants it to, because that's the best way to keep hunter loyal...

"he's still the same person he's always been, he doesn't want to hurt you at all" with the implication of "he DOES want to hurt me and always has, but that's all right." boy.......

if hunter had a truly, TRULY accurate understanding of belos, then he would have either run away with luz or smuggled her out of the castle ages ago. because he would understand that he really.... has no control. over the amount of danger that luz is in.

instead he needs the belos situation to be one that's self-contained, as long as hunter keeps playing his role. if he controls the situation then he can keep luz safe. and consequently it's also his fault if luz gets hurt. because hunter is supposed to do Anything to keep her from getting hurt.

that is his Job.

if I had a nickel for every time I was in a fandom and a child character had a breakdown and did something that accidentally hurt another character, and then the fandom all turned on the character and vilified them because they [the fandom] can’t understand that sometimes 14 year olds make mistakes when they’re going through something traumatic, I would have 2 nickels

not a lot but it really is weird it happened twice

[a-very-sparkly-nerd]

he has the kind of love for her that you and i once had

Summary: Hera won't allow Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase to marry. Aphrodite takes matters into her own hands.

Aphrodite is many things.

She is vain (and she deserves to be, thank you very much), she's a bit of (okay, a very big) a snob (what can she say? Her standards are high), and she is flighty (there's just so many shiny new things every day!).

But she is also completely, undeniably, obsessive. And she is a goddess.

And no goddess should be messed with this way.

Aphrodite can handle slights. A box of chocolates, a few hundred years soaking in a rose bath, and she's right as rain.

But no one can dare to disrespect her this way, not even the queen of Olympus. And she is even more certain that she is in the right when Athena, of all people, and Poseidon–the last time they'd agreed was eons ago, back when he'd been pissed at that one king of Crete whose wife had been so disrespectful–agree with her.

And so they plan.

Well, Athena plans. She's the brains, Aphrodite is the one who can manipulate Zeus, who even Hera has to bow to, and Poseidon is there to be scary.

It's the perfect plan, especially because it's simple. Athena had rolled her eyes, sighed, and pinched the bridge of her nose and explained it in excruciating detail until Poseidon–Aphrodite’s convinced it was Poseidon, because she had caught on right away, of course–understood.

They find Hera in her rooms in the palace of Olympus, like a boring loser. Why would one choose to stay in the palace, in the stifling companionship of Zeus, when they could be doing anything they liked?

But it made it easier.

Aphrodite sweeps into her room in a cloud of flurrying pink satin, bearing a tray of chocolates- they've never failed her before.

Hera glares at her from her sofa. “What are you doing here?”

She sits down beside her, nudging the tray over. “I was hoping for some girl time.”

Hera raises a dark, regal eyebrow. “‘Girl time?’”

“Yes, it's when a group of girls get together and-”

“I know what girl time is.”

Aphrodite frowns prettily, genuinely confused- she can't imagine Hera of all people would know what girl time is. She's probably read it somewhere.

“you and lucius are going to have a baby,” she spat out, incredulously.

narcissa nodded, a small smile breaking out across her face. “isn’t that terrific news, bella?”

“it is terrible news,” bellatrix replied. “a baby!” she yelled, throwing her arms up in the air, losing her usually cold demeanour. “in the middle of a war! narcissa, have you even thought before?”

she blinked. “we have, in fact,” she said, quietly, “but i would have thought that you, as my sister, would be supportive of what lucius and i decided for our future.”

“cissa,” she hissed, her fingers wrapping around her sister’s arm. “this is one of the worst decisions you have ever, ever made, and you will regret it.”

“i will not!” narcissa whispered angrily, prying her sister’s hand off of her. she wiped her eyes angrily and stormed towards the manor, leaving bellatrix in the cold.
