#she must have really liked him

[yuseirra]

I have a feeling Hikaru would have been the one who's more keen about fashion out of the two

[hhhhunty]

How funny that she never considered that.

they tried to rebrand as The Criminals but riz is literally the city council's treasurer and also turns out people in their late 20s don't really name their friend groups. so now they're The Intrepid Heroes

[<==PREV PAGES] [NEXT PAGE==>(not out yet.wait a year.or maybe more.imagine.]

saw alot of comments on prev pages; saying 'i HATE that mean teacher! im gonna FIGHT HIM!!' & i LOVE the energy!! it WOULD be nice. to have that catharsis. but the story of young tidestrider is Not one of catharsis. it is a story of being so small and so special and sucking so bad.

little seiji must have thought shinobu hung the moon. based on the way he talks about her now, and the way he seems to have modeled kuromisa's appearance after her...like he needed to create an air of mystique that people would be drawn to and he immediately went well just dress up like nee-san. he worshipped her in that special younger sibling way. how did her resentment of him shape the person he's become? what did her leaving the clan do to him?

An interesting little fun thing with team 7 is that you assume that Sakura's gonna, like, woobify and simplify Sasuke by putting him on a pedastal,cause her goal is centered around him and shes a 12 y/o fangirl so like of course her understanding of him is skewed cause she doesnt see him as a person, just an object of affection, right? She's can't get Sasuke, can't imprint on and/or traumabond with him like Naruto and Kakashi do. They don't see him with rose tinted glasses, because they've lived through their own Horrors and empathize with Sasuke's experience.

......right?

WRONG lmao!! They have too many ghosts!! Naruto's single-minded codependent ass won't get out of his own way long enough to see Sasuke for who he actually is, only able to empathize with the parts of his trauma Naruto relates to and not really capable of understanding him outside of the context of himself (because Sasuke is. His other half). And Kakashi is far too jaded to be fair to him!! He can't decide if Sasuke is gonna end up as a mini-him or a mini-Obito or maybe a mini-Itachi, but either way he ALSO is too traumatized to see Sasuke AS SASUKE.

meanehile SAKURA'S autistic ass may have dogshit empathy, but you know what she does have? A special interest in sasuke. Nothing better to do then give herself a degree in Uchihaisms. She can write character studies about him. she can read his soul. Whenever she says something about him she is right. Every fucking time! She is RIGHT!!!!

'sasuke would NOT compliment me this directly or explicitly express worry unprompted, especially if it gets in the way of his goals' correct.

'Sasuke shouldn't hide that curse on his neck its not healthy BUT if I tell anyone about it he'll never trust me again, which might be even more dangerous for him then the curse mark. Like he can probably handle the curse mark but no one else can stop him from ripping peoples arms off.' correct.

Speaking of! 'Sasuke would not hurt me even when he seems to be...possessed? whatever the only way to knock him out of it is to present myself as Alive and thus something to be protected rather then something to be avenged, because he gets really stuck in his own head about revenge' CORRECT

'hey so um. like. Sasuke's gonna leave Konoha. I'm not sure anything can stop him at this point and honestly I'm kinda starting to doubt anything should, so the only thing I could possibly do to help him at this point is ALSO defect.' CORRECT!!!!

Thinking about the symbolic weight of smoking in the TLT universe that comes to the fore in The Unwanted Guest -- the way it moves through from person to person: Pyrrha smoked, and Augustine wanted to impress her in all her stone cold fox MILF James Bond glory (and tbf who wouldn't) so he started too. and even though as far as he knows she's been gone for a myriad and is never coming back, he keeps the habit. Ianthe sees something in the hollowed-out Faberge eggshell of Augustine that resonates with her, all that gilded eloquent emptiness and disdain through the ages, so she picked it up from him to try to emulate it. She picked it up so hard that Palamedes -- the exact spiritual antithesis of the 'smoking! on a space station! what a powermove' ennui Ianthe so admired -- spontaneously unnerded enough to even known how to, simply from a sort of contact contamination of the soul.

G1deon and Augustine sharing a jittery smoke after their near-Harrow experience during soup night, and it's the closest thing to any real sense of brotherhood that remains between them. Pyrrha going ten thousand years dying both literally and for a smoke (and then Camilla sold her fucking cigarettes (for a third of what they were worth, probably Pyrrha's own good, and also more importantly grocery money). what an entirely haunted time to be alive etc.). Augustine and Mercy trading a cigarette back and forth in the middle of their collusion over the love and murder of god.

An act of small and measured self-destruction in the name of something a little bit like connection when you're stuck somewhere in yourself where love itself dares not or cannot tread (ritualized, transmissible)..........

So I just read all 914 pages of Fool’s Fate in one day. I don’t think I’ve ever read that much in one day ever. These books are so good holy snickerdoodles I love the politics and the amazing worldbuilding (robin writes matriarchies and different societal structures SO GOOD) and the realistic characters and Fitz’s unreliable narration and also the gay ass ‘friendship’ between him and the fool (fitz ‘no homo but also my bond with you is deeper than my love for anyone else including my other half bonded wolf and my wife and also sex’ farseer)

So uh. Yeah. Excuse me while I go cry in the corner. Again.

We all know Timmy is Wanda’s mama’s boy but we need to keep in mind he’s still Cosmo’s kid too and that Cosmo would love him just as vehemently as Wanda

can the mediator of vengeanceclan really fall in love with a kittypet?...

I was thinking about how Levi must have felt when he realised that he was in love with Hange, and those thoughts turned into a little headcanon of mine that I'd like to share with you! More below the cut. 🥹

In his entire life, Levi had never had a crush. He had seen and experienced so much suffering and loss in his life that he might have even considered himself incapable of actually feeling love for another person (except for his mum, of course). No, Levi never really thought of true love, of having a family or just the feeling of being in love and wanting to be with someone. But that changed when he met Hange.

In the beginning, he might not have even noticed that he was developing feelings for her. Hange was overwhelming, annoying, exasperating, and frustrating. She talked too much, was too enthusiastic, and just couldn't stop laughing. Yet after some time, for some to him unexplicable reason, he found himself drawn to her. It was something he couldn't fight; it simply happened.

So he started calling her names; he called her four-eyes and shitty-glasses, idiot and moron, because it felt too personal to call her Hange. He started rolling his eyes when she talked to him about Titans, and he scowled when she laughed at him. But he was secretly enjoying their interactions, and he even found himself looking forward to those shared moments (but of course, he would never admit that!). No, he didn't know why. He just knew that it was like that, and it both irritated and thrilled him.

One day, he fell into bed, exhausted and worn out - it was already late at night, but too late didn't exist for Hange and she had been babbling on about Titans for what felt like hours. It was that night that, for the very first time, Levi associated the words amazing, captivating, and beautiful with Hange when he found himself thinking about her. Involuntarily, his heart stuttered a little at these thoughts - and it was in that exact moment that he realised that there was something else going on.

It took him a while to figure it out, though, but when he eventually got there, he was scared as hell. This wasn't just friendship that he felt for Hange. No, he had deeply, madly, and irreversibly fallen in love with her. Capital-L love. But having gotten to this realisation, he, of course, didn't know what to do, how to act, or if he should do anything at all. All those feelings that were crashing down on him were overwhelming, and he didn't know if his little heart could take them.

So he continued on with his life like nothing had happened, like nothing had changed. And he let his feeling simply be, hoping that they might go away and that this might have just been a result of his exhaustion. But, of course, they didn't. On the contrary. Every time he was around Hange, his feelings grew stronger and stronger, just like his desire to be around her and to watch her all the time. Yes, with every passing day, he was falling deeper and deeper in love with Hange Zoe.

*sighs* Aaah yes, that's how I imagined it how it would be! 🥹 Poor Levi, he must’ve been freaking out when he realised "Shit, I think I'm in love. What do I do now?" XD
