I’m normal. Btw. In case you were wondering.

Still thinking about just how deep in it Liliana Temult is. Like in the eyes of the narrative she went from

absent & possibly dead, very sad -> alive just estranged?? mysterious! -> possibly involved in a cult, tragic, can her daughter reach her? -> uncomfortably high up in said cult -> the cult's goddamn General and striking such terror into the local population of the Ruidus that they are afraid of even her appearance or someone who looks like her

Ordinary people who are trying to resist the dictatorial Imperium/Ruby Vanguard alliance and their iron control of the populace are terrified of her. You don't strike terror just by "being there". Terror happens because of actions. And it leaves us to wonder what exactly Liliana Temult has done during her time on the moon to make the citizens fear her so much.

something about oscar being so self-assured and optimistic about mclaren's and his own abilities in every single interview saying they can challenge verstappen for wins and perhaps for the championship it ain't over til it's over type of shit while lando has only just managed to make it not sound like he's joking when he says they can win races. and they were team mates

[strawberrycamel]

hey psst c'mere... no a little closer... a little closer- there we go

Loop lips are part of a racist caricature of Black people. Stop drawing Black characters with loop lips. I don't care how they look in canon, it's racist.

okay that's all you can go

You know we all meme about how Luffy doesn't give a shit about his parents/Dragon, how he seemingly has no interest in learning about the man or meeting him at all, and like yeah that is a Luffyism

And for a long time I figured Baby Luffy would be the same too; that Luffy in his naïvete just accepted he must've spawned from the ocean itself into Garp's care or something, not realizing he should in fact have parents, thus Luffy's seeming disinterest in them

But you know what

Luffy did spend most of his early childhood alone

Sure, he had Garp, but it seems like Garp wasn't always there to look after him every day, he had his duties as a Marine too. Had Garp been there 24/7 all year then Garp would never have allowed Luffy to interact with Shanks (a filthy pirate) to begin with. So yes, Luffy had his grandpa, but not all the time. And sure, Luffy also had Shanks, but Shanks didn't spend all his time in Fuusha Village either, he came and went whenever he pleased too until his final departure when Luffy was just six years old. And yes, there was everyone else in the village too, people who cared about Luffy and were helping look after him. But Luffy's early childhood was one without a stable family.

It wasn't until Garp yeeted the child into Dadan's care that Luffy actually gained a proper family, where after months and months of trying Luffy managed to win Ace's trust and gained Sabo as a brother too. But as we know, by that point Luffy already hated being alone

All of this to say; Luffy growing up essentially orphaned would explain why he's so afraid to be alone, the way he clings onto people

In some ways Luffy's POV is meant to be the reader's POV, to some degree Luffy's feelings and thoughts are meant to be how we the readers feel and think about whaveter is happening in the story. Not a 100% by any means, but somewhat at the very least.

Perhaps Luffy's lack of interest in Dragon isn't just "Luffy not giving a damn about blood family because chosen families are better" nor "Luffy is too stupid to understand where babies come from". Perhaps Luffy, who may have assumed he didn't have parents at all (as in "might've assumed they were dead or had intentionally abandoned him"), doesn't know what to think about the fact that he does have a father out there, one whom he has never as much as met. Because yeah, Luffy doesn't know why Dragon left him with Garp, why he never got to be with his dad. Should he be angry at Dragon, hate him for being left alone? Or did Dragon have a good reason for it, does Dragon wish things could've been different?

Perhaps Luffy's seeming disinterest in Dragon isn't because he doesn't care about blood family, but because much like us the readers, Luffy doesn't quite know what to make of Dragon, and figuring those feelings out hasn't been relevant to the plot yet.

(in general, removed from any specific au's where he needs to swim/not swim for Plot)

(personally, i think my stance is that he has some ability to keep himself afloat in calmer waters- on the shore or in a pool- but not in the way where its a particular skill. hes spend enough time dicking around in the shallows with Jack & Sam & Ed to know how to handle himself in water where he cant consistently reach the bottom, to feel comfortable cooling off by a waterfall, but is also keenly aware that if he goes overboard, even in relatively calm waters, being able to swim isnt going to do anything to save his life if a dinghy isnt sent. hes not gonna drown the second he's in the ocean or anything, but hes screwed if the waters a little too rough or its late or a raid and it isnt noticed before the ships a way away.)

[utilitycaster]

can I just say. I've never seen the "fell first/fell harder" dichotomy outside of CR fandom - I'm sure it was a Twitter thing or whatever but nothing else I do picked up on it at all - and I think it's a false dichotomy that people try to impose on ships that don't fit it at all. But most of all it is perhaps the least interesting way to approach a relationship dynamic I can think of.

There's a weird kind of tension I feel being in the Locked Tomb fandom without being Christian. Especially having grown up in a heavily Christian part of the world, constantly surrounded by pressure to convert.

I don't only mean the constant low grade cultural pressure underpinning daily life, though I mean that too. I mean I get accosted in the street by missionaries. I mean I was first told I was going to hell when I was four years old, by a babysitter who would only let me watch Veggie Tales. I've had a man handing out leaflets follow me around attempting to lay his hands on my head or shoulders while reciting what I think a Catholic friend later told me was called the Sinner's Prayer, cajoling me to repeat after him. My grandfather died after being unable to find a support group that wasn't rooted in the christian faith, and didn't therefore require him to violate his religious beliefs.

Which is all taking the long way around to saying I don't really vibe heavy with the series' christian subtext. I like to enjoy the story primarily through other lenses.

But at the same time the symbolism is there, and intentional, and doing a lot of very interesting things. So I am paying attention to it. I try to consider it an interesting mythological theme, like the classical Greek references. It usually works, but maintaining that distance can be a struggle.

I don't really have a conclusion here. It's just a weird place to be. The draw of wanting to connect the dots, to appreciate the intricate symbolic art, at war with... all that, and with the creeping anxiety that whispers: how much of a philosophy can you know before you get filled up with it? Is there ever a point where you are what you know, whether you want to be or not?

kind of amazed that with all the band aus that exist in this world, never have I seen one where the ship in question are the kind of band members who do gay fanservice shit on stage

[mulderscully]

One movie scene i feel we don’t talk abt enough is how actually terrified Henry is of the king. Like they toned him down from the queen and he cares about Henry clearly (in his own way and the way Henry needs but yk) And still Henry is so scared

He’s so ready for it and confident and about to tell Philip to fuck off when the king enters and in a second he’s a scared little boy, caving in on himself trying to make himself small, barely able to lift his eyes after he bows his head (also nicholas in this scene…… when i find his cute greek ass……) and yet!!! He’s going to face that fear and stand up both for himself and for the love of his life bc that’s Alex’s brave boy 🫠

it's definitely an interesting thing to think about. like despite them toning it down from the book, i do think it's pretty evident that the king is his abuser. emotional abuse is abuse. and like you said, the way he looks down when the king enters, but also he is looking down before he says "it's all true, grandpa." it's this thing of like CAN your abuser care about you? and how genuine is that care? is the king being kind to henry to get him to shut up? to keep him small and quiet? during their fight he essentially tells alex he has never felt loved or supported, and god knows what that has done to his psyche.

if the king cares abt henry and his happiness, then why was he trying to get him and alex away before they saw the crowds out there supporting them? he ONLY accepts henry going out there because he has already lost and i find that so interesting.

and henry's power in the book and the movie are different, but i really do enjoy his quiet authority and decisiveness in the movie as much as i enjoy his righteous anger in the book. it's like how slightly different situations alter how we react, etc.

sorry for rambling but i was already thinking abt this from writing my fic the other day 😅 literally that's the thing i'm sensitive abt!!!

but anyway, someday nick will accept his russian heritage and be my little anastasia.... make me a russian doll with your woodworking...

[mimikinyuu]

I’ve pieced some things together, I think.

You mentioned living on Ula’Ula Island. You mentioned affordable housing. I think you live near Po Town. You could live more south as well, but the Po Town-area is consistently cheap compared to the rest of Alola.

You seem comfortable around Team Skull now, despite having issues with them before. You mentioned being friends with Plumeria, but I think it goes deeper than just being friends with Plumeria.

You specifically said ‘him’ in reference to the person that texted you randomly after you came back from Paldea. You also used he/him pronouns to refer to your traveling partner when you went to Sinnoh. Logically, your traveling partner to Sinnoh is this same ‘him’ that texted you randomly.

In the same post about someone randomly texting you, this ‘him’ was also mentioned in reference to a team, a team that’s tried to steal your Mimikyu. You’ve mentioned Team Skull trying to steal your Pokemon multiple times in the past. Logically, this ‘him’ is also involved with Team Skull.

Some of your posts have implied that your current romantic partner is the same person as your traveling partner from Sinnoh. I feel like you also got with your partner shortly after getting back from your trip to Sinnoh.

Reading between some lines, my theory is that you’re in a relationship with Guzma. You seem the most cagey talking about him compared to other questions you’ve gotten.

(Ooc: If this is out of line/not what you wanted for this blog feel free to delete this! I just wanted to look through Legion’s posts and speculate lol)

KOMH THOTS

ok so i think out dear hamilton!reader would get a small 47 tattooed for mick

specifically behind her right ear because that's the ear mick whispers into the most

he goes up to whisper into her ear one day and he pulls back immediately because that's his number on his girl!

imagine its her first tattoo as well and lewis was there to hold her hand throughout the whole process [this man now has an excuse to get matching sibling tattoos now so he's happy]

i think that the tattoo would be in a times new roman-esque font, maybe italicized

(maybe mick get a small high heel silhouette for her in return, behind his left ear for the same reason hamilton!reader got hers in the place she did)

☕

I wish you could see my first reaction to this ask because I went all AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA KXSKMCMAMNXJS

I totally see hamilton!reader doing something like this, especially as an anniversary gift, maybe theyre celebrating a year or so together and she has no idea what to do but then shes talking with lewis and tracing some of his tattoos the way she always does until she traces the one he got of her birthday and she’s like WAIT THATS IT. Lewis would be a bit taken aback at first, even a tad jealous because mick gets to have your first tattoo, but then how can he get mad when shes so happy and so loved? And well, now you would get to do matching tattoos too, the ones hes been nagging you about since your teenage years [I am so writing this as a whole 3k extra imagine].
