THANK YOU. YOU GET ME FR. teruhashi is literally the kindest person ever and people misinterpreted her so bad free my girl ☹️

i left this in my inbox for a long time on accident and have no idea what the context was but yesss so true 😜 i think its really funny how people have somehow twisted "girl who knows she's gorgeous and uses that fact to her advantage, has never actually said anything mean about anyone ever" as "disgusting whore who manipulates everyone around her, secretly believes all her friends are ugly and stupid, and is genuinely completely unloveable" ☠️

sometimes my knee jerk reactions to things i see on the internet force me to deeply consider that i am, in fact, the problem here

i love tfa sentinel prime because hes like

perfect example of youth arrogance and pride

theres so much to do. so much potential how to develop him from there

you can drop him into life and let his superficial layers shatter

you can have him outgrow that shell and have it fall off on its own

you can have him shrink in there and fill the empty space with insecurities

another season of tfa would fix my entire life

develop sentinel prime and my life is yours (even if its backwards AHA)

you know until relatively recently i thought i'm at least like.. noticeably above average appearance-wise, i took it basically as a given since i was a little kid. but then i realized i'm actually ugly as fuck and nobody would ever pay any attention to me or find me good-looking or hot or whatever and i will be alone forever and die alone. so.

Im rereading nona and i am baffled anew by people who listen to jod recount every single agonizing step in his slow and terrible descent and are like, "wow John was always an awful irredeemable liar and his reluctance to admit that he set off the nukes was not, in fact, him struggling to accept the magnitude of how completely and terribly he failed and became the very person he was trying to stop, but was just another calculated lie because he's a Bad Man. if it were me i would have simply not done that." I have to assume these are the same people who read "**When our backs are against the wall and everything is falling apart we rarely become heroes" and were like "huh i wonder who thats for"

**approximate quote from memory because I cannot for the life of me find the exact excerpt but it was one of Wake's "letters" that only Harrow could read while they were in the bubble

Occasionally I'll see posts where people talk about feeling alienated from their peers growing up and I'll be like hey same except for the fact that like. I wasn't bullied and I had friends and I "fit in" and such so I feel like I must not be as different as I think or maybe I'm more "normal" than I feel but then like. Sometimes I go out with people my own age and I'm like yeahhhh we are not the same

Whatever people on website like making 1 million incredibly long posts about how the existence of annoying people online is representative of the moral degeneracy of X

@ artemis when people compliment his appearance like 'oh you're so handsome!' or along those lines in terms of physical appearance immediately thinking you're absolutely FULL of shit and immediately laughing dryly like 'haha :) mhm... yes... how kind.' but not in an accepting the compliment way NOR in a self-deprecating one, but rather in a (subtly) bitchy, dismissive one. like.... listen.... He KNOWS what he looks like and it is NOT attractive in the way people say it like it is? If he didn't wear his suits and hold himself confident and like, elegantly, no one would compliment him that way, surely! That's how he thinks anyway. ALSO there's the whole... 'I'm literally wearing a skull over my face along with several other human bones that cover my body... you can't even SEE what I bloody look like--'

i feel like fandom spaces sometimes equate appearing masculine as empowerment for women and that is Not always the case. just bc you're drawing a character in pants instead of a skirt or dress doesn't make it automatically empowering or feminist and there is just as much empowerment and strength to explore in feminine female characters as there is masculine female characters

What I find really really compelling about Laios' special interest is this:

As a person who's special interest is dogs, I'll tell you right now that I fucking love them. I live in a city full of strays, and I actively go out of my way to pet, play with, and interact with them. It brings me a lot of joy and comfort to be able to be surrounded by puppies.

I will also be the first to tell you that, like it or not, dogs are animals - and animals, ultimately, can be unpredictable. They can be scared, they can be territorial, and they can be impulsive. And while I genuinely believe that there's no such thing as a bad dog or an angry dog - only a scared one - I also don't believe it makes a functional difference once a dog has bitten you what intentions it may have had.

Dogs are dangerous. I've seen people get bitten, I've been bitten, I've had close calls, some of which were my own fault and others which were not.

And Laios reflects this so beautifully, especially in the Kelpie arc. He's not blinded by his love for these creatures, he's not overtaken by baseless empathy - he understands, understands better than anyone, that these are at the end of the day monsters, and they are dangerous, and when push comes to shove sometimes you've just got to kill them. In fact it's his love for them that lands him this knowledge and understanding in the first place - just as I know that there's no room for fear and weakness when it comes to interacting with dogs, he knows there's no room for hesitation and empathy when it comes to interacting with montsers.

It's so fucking realistic of someone who genuinely researches and cares about these creatures, rather than superficially "liking animals" and then trying to assign human qualities to inherently inhuman creatures.

God.

Laios is fantastic fucking representation.

I love art pieces where the artist has a connection, or is exploring their connection to the countries their roots are in and are from

superficial analysis of music annoys me deeply
