Where am I even going anymore? Just a void inside endless space where I'm suppose to be. Where I ended up I'll never know.

I like to make the age gap between the twins and Anakin a tiny bit bigger in my aus (2.5 instead of 1.5) mostly just cause a) the original age gap kind of just happened as opposed to being intentional, and partially because I think that Jaina and Anakin's relationship specifically is a little more logical with a bigger gap, but not so big that Anakin and Jacen's relationship ceases to make sense.

Y'all I know that when so-called AI generates ridiculous results it's hilarious and I find it as funny as the next guy but I NEED y'all to remember that every single time an AI answer is generated it uses 5x as much energy as a conventional websearch and burns through 10 ml of water. FOR EVERY ANSWER. Each big llm is equal to 300,000 kiligrams of carbon dioxide emissions.

LLMs are killing the environment, and when we generate answers for the lolz we're still contributing to it.

Stop using it. Stop using it for a.n.y.t.h.i.n.g. We need to kill it.

not caring too much about a fandom’s favourite guy is the worst. you’ll think “oh i’ll look into the tag see if anything new and cool’s there” and it’s just that fucking guy again

ppl dont talk about the fact that even Daisuke's characterization is affected by Jimmy's unreliable perspective. He refers to Daisuke as a spoiled rich kid who has his mommy and daddy behind him, that he's impressionable and stupid, and i do see people kinda characterizing him like that

like he has these rich parents who will dote on him and give him everything, that he's an airhead who isn't good at anything...

yet in curly's perspective we see that he's good at board games, he's trying his best, he's trying to listen to swansea and learn from him. He did get the internship from his parents but not because he wanted to, but because his parents thought he wasn't going anywhere in life, that he needed to be doing something. Daisuke is silly and a positive person but that's just for show, we see in the scene where Jimmy finds him lying on the floor drunk on mouthwash, that Daisuke isn't doing well, he's scared and feels sad about his parents. He makes jokes to cope with the horrible tension on the ship.

people characterize him as a stupid little kid too much for my liking, that's how Jimmy sees him. As a spoiled brat who came on the ship just to be an inconvenience. Even Swansea didn't see him like that, sure he complained about him but in Daisuke's final moments we see Swansea's true colors and how much he actually cares for him. He's an adult, who's putting on this happy go-lucky persona because he truly wants to succeed in life, and he's doing the internship for his mom and dad even though he doesn't want to. So he makes friends, he tries his best, he wants to be on the good side of everyone on the ship.

Jimmy just saw him as an easy target, someone too trusting and easily manipulated. A stupid kid he can use to get what he wants. He even plays with Daisuke's feelings of needing validation from Swansea, someone he looks up to. He tells Daisuke that by going in the vent, he'd make Swansea proud.

Daisuke isn't someone who has it easy or someone who's a stupid airhead. Jimmy just saw kindness and positivity as weakness.

i can't lie to you i loveee bad endings sometimes. what if nothing worked out. what if the characters gave into their worst instincts. what if they became worse. what if there's truly no hope left. what will they do out of desperation? who will they become as their worst selves?

On of the less intuitive things about love, I've found, of any kind, is the importance of needing things.

I didn't realize it until recently, but I've always seen love as something requiring sacrifice, selflessness, patience, and generosity- to ask for nothing is to be the best person I can be, small and quiet and never in the way, always happy and helpful, self-sufficient and present when desired.

It's only as an adult, now, that I'm beginning to see the selfishness of wanting nothing.

I cut my friend's hair in my kitchen the other day. They wanted a trim and I had the skills, so I offered, and was genuinely excited when they stopped hesitating over "bothering me" and took me up on it. It was a peaceful afternoon, and we had tea and chatted for an hour or more.

My brother and I shared popcorn at the movies a while ago. When I came time to pay, I pulled my card out like a wild western sheriff and slapped it on the machine before he could fight me for it first. The satisfaction was delightful.

Someone called me crying on the phone the other day. Kept apologizing for disturbing me at work, talking about how they were bothering me on my lunch break. I was telling the truth when I told them that really, I was flattered and honored and relieved, knowing that if they were hurting I would know, that I didn't have to worry in silence. It felt good to hear them slowly come down, and to know that they knew it would be better soon, and to hear them laugh wetly on the other end. We're getting together for a visit next week.

It's hard to need things, if you've trained yourself not to. It's hard to want things, when you don't know how to want anymore. Trusting people is difficult, and so is relying on them, but I don't know where I'd be without the people who rely on me.

I've heard a lot of people say, "Nobody will love you unless you love yourself". I've had a lot of thoughts about it. It's not right, but it's not wrong, either, I think.

"Nobody will love you unless you love yourself"... I've always taken that to mean, "You will not be lovable until you develop a positive view of yourself as a person".

Now, I think it's sort of inside-out.

"Nobody will love you unless you love yourself"... because nobody can show their love to you in a way that you can accept until you treat yourself kindly, and learn what you need, and what you want, and how to ask for it, and then give that vulnerability away.

Love, for me, is someone I ask for a ride to the airport. Whether they end up doing this or not is irrelevant.

It's not needy, or selfish, or taking up energy. It's giving the gift of being wanted, and needed, and thought of. It's giving someone the security of being part of someone's life.

okay SIT DOWN. do i have a lecture for you.

the most cannon ship in haikyuu imo is tsukkiyama, and since you didn't include tskym in your list and i am their #1 fan: i will be explaining my reasoning.

the official art speaks for itself. every devout tsukkiyama fan can list the DOZENS of official art examples where they making heart eyes at eachother. one of my favorite examples of this is in the music album cover where they are litterally gazing longingly and talking about music on the floor. please check it out there are so many posts about this i cant say any more that hasn't already been said. (look up tsukkiyama official art for proof you are welcome)

their charachter arcs litterally revolve around and depend on eachother. tsukkis arc would have never started without yamaguchi yelling at him at the training camp, and yamaguchis whole thing is that he wants to catch up to and be as cool as tsukki is and doesn't want to be left behind and tsukki WANTS HIM TO CATCH UP!!!

yamaguchi puts him on such a high pedestal and looks up to him so much that his whole thing in haikyuu bu (the parody manga) is how much he loves tsukki. idk how you can get clearer than this. the tsukki bento. the i love you tsukki. the putting up posters in the club room. and MORE.

they CANNONICALLY WALK HOME TOGETHER DAILY AND TSUKKI TAKES HIS HEADPHONES OFF THEN YAMAGUCHI IS AROUND AND DOESN'T DO THAT FOR ANYONE ELSE AND PUTS THEM BACK ON WHEN THEY PART WAYS. i litterally do this with people im interested in bc im not a social person and im a headphones girl.

they're one of the only pairings seen to interact post-timeskip (outside of the reunion game) AND its implied they regularly go out!!!! they are litterally at dinner together bruh. and they know things that happened recently so they have to stull be spending a lot of time together.

idk about you but if i only had one friend for most of my life and i shut everyone else out or was too anxious to get close with other people id probably fall in love with them . thats just me tho .

the hug ( WITH cheeks touching and basically squished together) at the end of the inarizaki game where everyone else is in a pile except for them, and yamaguchi pounces on tsukki. this is even more meaningful when knowing that tsukkis not big on touch.

after every big game yamaguchi runs over to tackle tsukishima

akiteru litterally doesn't believe that "kei has other friends besides tadashi" like bruh.

tsukishima has shown to be very anti-touch-- like wincing away from kuroo, refusing to shake hinatas hand, etc, BUT purposely touches yamaguchi multiple times ex) they high five MULTIPLE times, hes touching his hand when passing yamaguchi the number thingy when he's going to serve (when he holds the top for everyone else) etc.

both of their final apperances in the series is them laughing together

yamaguchi gets jealous when other people call him tsukki

MATCHING BAGSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! THAT WHOLE SCENE IN GENERAL IN THE STORE WHERE WE GET A GLIMPSE OF HOW THEY INTERACT OUTSIDE OF VOLLEYBALL WHEN THEY ARE ALONE AND THEY ARE TEASING AND TSUKKIS SOFT SMILE IS SOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!! like thats how you interact with a person you like or you are dating i mean cmon. watch the scene again and you will see.

yamaguchi used to call him kei-kun and its implied he goes over to his house a lot if he's so close with tsukkis family and is on given name basis with akiteru

they both see eachother as being better than themselves (ex. yamaguchi EVERY single chapter and tsukkis 'hes a man who walks ahead of me')

their whole symbolism with 'cool' and 'lame' how they think of themselves as lame but call the other one cool but hate when the other calls themselves lame and they both are always caught off guard or annoyed when they are called cool because it means that much to them

post timeskip yamaguchi says he wants to go to all of tsukkis games!!!! (cmon. not even close friends commit to that.)

yamaguchis company litterally sponsors the sendai frogs

tsukishima asks other people to stop calling him tsukki but he doesn't care when yamaguchi does it

tsukishima encourages him and actively makes yamaguchi more confident like the 'of course he made the serve hes been practicing more than all of you' and the 'i never thought i could do this by myself' (and it works! yamaguchi is eventually captain!)

the page long flashback parallel right after the serve and block where it goes from little yamaguchi following tsukki from afar, to teen yamaguchi being right behind him, to teammates standing side by side, to tsukki falling behind him. i mean cmon.

yamaguchi blushing while looking at tsukki. open your eyes people.

i dont even know what else i need to put here. i could go on and on about how they sit next to eachother on the bus, or the comments their voice actors have said about them or how relaxed yamaguchi looks around tsukki or how tsukki respects/trusts him more than anyone else up to the point where its more than his own brother but i dont NEED TO. BECAUSE EVEN WITHOUT ALL OF THIS THEIR INTERACTIONS ARE SO HAND IN HAND AND THEY ARE VERY RARELY SEEN APART FROM EACHOTHER THAT ITS SO HARD TO DENY THEIR CODEPENDENCY.

you could say they are best friends, sure. but i think it speaks wonders that when the fake interview saying they were supposed to be cannon was going around, nobody doubted it because there is so much evidence that it could happen. why not best friends AND soulmates? shouldn't your soulmate also be your best friend? checkmate.

okay yeah that was my little ramble you are welcome! (sorry im passionate)

I like most hq ships but the ones I consider 'most canon' would be kghn, bokuaka and asanoya (maybe even in that order). So like I was wondering what do yall consider to be more 'canon' ships, like there's arguments you could make based on the text for why they'd have to be romantic?

the vast majority of fanworks are bad, and that's fine, actually. they are bad for the same reason that the average number of legs for a human person to have is less than two: statistics. like with all endeavours and especially creative ones, most people who write fanfiction or draw art of their favourite characters are bad at it. if you line up all the crochet projects in the world, most of them will be, well, bad. some are bad because they're the first thing a person ever made, or the second or third or tenth, and this kind of thing takes practice. others are bad because the person who made them is just not very good at it. maybe they just learned how to make granny squares and they're perfectly happy to never expand or improve on that. most people who dance or bake or garden or braid hair are not amazing at it! and you'd never go to your kid's dance recital or eat your friend's homemade carrot cake and expect the same experience as you'd have at a professional ballet performance or award-winning bakery. And that's if we assume there is an objective measure of Good Art, which there isn't! Some art is just "bad" because you don't like it!

I think though that specifically with fanfiction, we sometimes forget that when we read a book or watch a movie, dozens of people have looked at it and given feedback and made changes and done quality control before the final product reaches our shelves or screens, and that's not counting the original writer's learning process and past experience. A published book is not anyone's first crochet project, even if it is their debut novel. But with fanfiction, the barrier to entry is so low (on purpose! this is a good thing!) that we do get to see a lot of wonky granny squares, and on sites like AO3 they're sitting on the same shelf as the hand-made silk lace wedding dress and you can't always tell just by looking at it which is which. The consequence of this is that we encounter fic that we think is unpolished, has bad punctuation, is out of character, and we are tempted to think "well, this is awful! how dare this person put this wonky granny square on the same shelf as the lace wedding dress!" But that's not how fandom is supposed to work! That wonky granny square is somebody who is really excited about this TV show they just watched and they are reaching out into the void to share their excitement with you. To scoff at them for not making a lace wedding dress is really, really rude. Even if they did make a lace wedding dress, maybe it's just really not your style, or you think they should have used a different pattern, and it's still their wedding dress. You don't have to wear the dress and you don't have to read the fic.

We all know that there is some fanfic out there that is incredible. I think it's important to talk about that! But the vast majority of people who post their writing online are just sharing their little hobby projects that they make for fun and I also think it's important to remember that.
