I love when somebody who is clearly a child thinks they get what Emo is. It’s either lil baby bats in denial (like how I was vehemently in denial that MCR was Emo cuz I could only see Emo as ‘bad’ or ‘lame’)
or you get those kids that still think that people are ‘edgy’ when they wear all black. It’s a cultural movement, you know? And not to be too pretentious about it or anything, it usually involves emotional exploration involving complicated feelings that are more than just ‘happy’ ‘sad’ or ‘angry’.
That and there’s only so many times that you can be asked ‘are you going to a funeral’/ ‘it’s not fucking halloween yet, is it faggot?’ before you realize that actually you’re not the one hung up on clothing, but every person around you is. The 90s and the 00s were a wild time, but I strongly miss how powerful the emo movement of music was. You didn’t have the generally accepted hero talking about how his heart ached, how he struggled with addiction, etc, but “emo” music was extremely open about this stuff. And we reached openly out to each other. That, and traditional emos fucked with gender hardcore! People can be emo in white summer dresses and sunhats, after all. Many of us wore a lot of black because it was a rebellious statement and because it was a way to identify each other- lots of band t-shirts came in black, after all. We still are men in dresses and skirts and women in combat boots and buzzcuts and every gender outside and between! Emo and punk has a lot of crossover and cross contamination!
Can’t believe people still think all it takes to be ‘emo’ is to throw on a black jacket? Like, that just feels so high school.

I haven't been on in a fucking while, life's been crazy yo.
If it makes up for it at all I'm almost done writing a moderately (read: extremely) angsty & smutty ShigaDabi oneshot featuring trans Dabi that may or may not fall into the Light at the End of the Night universe (I haven't decided yet, we'll see what happens lmao) as well as most of the next chapter for the main fic.
I really appreciate everyone who has been so patient with my sporadic updates and I'm gonna go through my asks and answer some of them today, too.

Kind of a rant with full offense but I genuinely despise all the hate Geeta gets as a champion. Yes her battle was a pushover. You have exactly 1 fire type which could totally be your token “overleveled starter” and she’s basically done for. But as a character? She’s not that bland— not from everyone else’s standpoints. Specifically the gym leaders.
First of all, everyone forgets she’s not even the final battle of the Victory Road storyline. Second of all, the fact that in the post game when you rematch all the gym leaders, many of them seem to react somewhat brashly thinking that you are Geeta (as far as I remember. Cause like. I think they’re supposed to have some sort of meeting I guess but Geeta sends you to take care of matters instead.) Many of them mention Geeta having a weird aura— a bewitching aura even (quote taken specifically from gym leader Tulip.) and she seems to rub a lot of the gym leaders the wrong way mentally. People seem to forget that she’s blatantly supposed to be a character shrouded in mystery but everyone and their mom wanna pin the blame on the rock flower she sends at the end of her battle for why she’s a bad champion. Y’all are focusing on the wrong material. Yes, her battle is pretty decently hyped and is a let down because yeah, she’s got a weird ass team and doesn’t use Kingambit or Glimmora’s ability the “right way” and that “Gamefreak doesn’t know how to make a good game” as if most of y’all weren’t crying at the mere concept of Arven’s whole motive for his storyline. Y’all ain’t slick.
Glimmora as her ace is genius. Not because of the battle standpoint— in that regard, it’s of course used very poorly considering it’s hazard setting gimmick. This is introducing the importance of this Pokémon and the lore of Paldea as a whole. Glimmet and Glimmora have something to do with the origins of Area Zero. The way it’s found in large abundances— the emphasis on the Pokémon in general in the endgame. It’s supposed to display it’s importance and not much else. Maybe even give way to whatever is going on in the DLC. It’s called “The Hidden Treasures Of Area Zero” for goodness sake! I firmly believe that when the DLCs come out, we will be getting some major answers to some questions. Why does she battle so carelessly? Why does she emit such a bewitching aura? Why is Nemona oblivious to this? Why is Geeta just… like that? What! Is! Geeta’s! Deal!?
Geeta is a character with so much opportunity for open speculation. She is a character we are supposed to be theorizing on. She’s a character we are supposed to be learning more about as time goes on.
But all y’all wanna focus on her easy ass battle. Hmph.

I got called annoying once today by my favourite person in the whole world and they said it so gently too they were literally just like; "oh hey (name) sometimes this thing you do irritates me can you please try to stop? It's kinda annoying."
And now I hate everything, I hate myself, I hate my life I'm convinced they're gonna leave me because I'm so fucking annoying an ruin everything and I'm crying over my past trauma. And I just really wanna carve myself to shreds to punish myself for being so stupid and horrible and for feeling this way too.
I'm so fucking dramatic oh my god.
I wish I was fucking normal.
