I feel like everyone forgets about Gin. Akutagawa’s younger sister. Gin akutagwaw. She’s super cool, we should talk about her!
#gin akutagawa#akutagawa#did she even join the mafia like on purpose?#I’m pretty sure Akutagawa made that decision#she was just kinda dragged along#tbh I really don’t like how her and Akutagawa joined the mafia#I love them#like nobody talks about her#what does she think of Dazai (the guy who beat her brother nearly half to death)#what’s her relationship with her brother like?#she seems a lot better off than Akutagawa#but idk#we barely see her

"Suddenly the world was gray and dull and my heart was so heavy I felt like I couldn’t move, let alone make it back to Treasure Town. But because of Echo’s last wish… I was able to keep living.”

SORA : (Partner)
Abilities: Justified / Inner Focus
Nature: Gentle / Hardy
Moveset: Aura Sphere / Metal Claw / Poison Jab / Dragon Pulse
#It's my baby girl!! My sweetiepie!! Sora the light of my life my bestest girlie#Her own character sheet to go along with Echo's since I had so much fun making that one and obvs Sora needed to be given as much love too#Sora learned Poison Jab as a riolu back when she was mistrustful towards Grovyle and wanted to thrash him around#nowadays she feels bad about knowing the move when her intentions for learning it were to get an upper hand against him in battle#but she also refuses to unlearn it and keeps it as a reminder that sometimes your own expectations about others are wrong in the end#plus the idea of someone as sweet as Sora knowing a poison-type move just makes me go crazy. did you expect a fairy type move or something?#Cause no. She'll literally stab you to death with literal poison because she can if you upset her or Echo.#And to anyone wondering about the large scar on her tail... yes it is literally a hand-print courtesy of Dusknoir#insert the universally traumatic “YOU TWO ARE COMING WITH ME” classic Dusknoir villain-arc moment#(he then proceeds to grab Sora by the tail and drag her into the dimensional portal but she struggles and he loses patience)#(so he unleashes a point blank will-o-wisp that causes so much pain she is too busy recoiling and screaming to make an escape)#Hey Dusknoir it was kinda f'ed up to permanently scar a kid like that ngl not your best decision I hope it doesn't haunt you forever#Echo still hates him for it and I'm not sure she'll ever let that particular event go even after they reconcile#also I gave Sora the ability Justified because of the implications that her partner is a dark-type and she also has darkrai-related trauma#the idea of her attack stat raising if Echo accidentally hits her with a move??? like Sora is so scared her stats literally go haywire#that's my idea of angst and it keeps me awake at night#sora/lucario#Team Wish my beloved...#pmd ocs#pmd eos#pmd2#explorers of sky#my art#click for better quality tumblr compressed it like garbage D:

There wasn’t much left for Eddie in Hawkins after the events of that harrowing Spring Break. He woke up in the hospital to an empty room filled with pain. His broken ribs creaked and aches with each breath, a result of three rounds of CPR delivered by Steve’s hands he later found out, and even moving took all of his energy, a consequence of excessive blood loss via bat attack.
Before he could get his bearings, a flurry of government officials, cops, and mobs brimming with hatred surrounded him. Instead of being grateful for his miraculous survival like the kids were, they shoved him in a jail cell. He spent two weeks in a jail cell, being punished for a crime he didn’t commit and suffering nightmares on top of the already nightmarish situation.
Even when he’s freed from his cell due to Hopper’s demands and the righteous fury of both Steve and Robin, he’s only released into the prison of Hawkins. He had to stay in his trailer day in and day out to avoid people’s revenge and beatings. The kids were barred from seeing him by their parents, too afraid to have their children associating with the monster that might’ve killed those poor teens.
Wayne got fired from the plant after facing backlash and discrimination due to being related to “The Murdering Satantic Worshipper”. Soon enough, both Munsons were pariahs. Jobless, ridiculed, and harassed by the town they’d lived in for years, they had no real choice but to leave.
But when Eddie told Steve they were leaving, Steve refused to be left behind. He’d lost relationships in the past due to not fighting enough, he wouldn’t make the same mistake. When the time comes, Eddie, Wayne, and Steve pack up their vehicles and make their way out of the town that never understood them. One day, they might go back but until then, they would live the best lives they could in the only way they knew how. Together.
#wayne adopts steve and kinda just drags him along#steve of course has no objections#the only ties they keep to Hawkins are to the kids and surprisingly Jonathan#and of course Robin (they have no choice with her because she calls Steve twice a day and they talk for hours on end each time)#stranger things#steddie#eddie munson#steve harrington#uncle Wayne#wayne munson

Concept sketch of my new JJBA self insert and her stand, BellaDonna (who will eventually be known as Madonna). Inspired by the song 'Like a Prayer' by...well, Madonna! @sapphire-heart-tippy
(lore dump under the cut, TW for mentions of animal injury and religious trauma)
My self insert (who will also go by Jane) grew up in a deeply religious family and tried to be a good jehovah's witness child that made her parents proud.
One day, she comes up with the power to heal various injuries and ailments, almost to the point of being able to revive the dead. She figures she's given this power by the lord himself and vows to do good with it, but when she's found using them to heal a bird that had been wounded by a cat, her mother falls into hysterics thinking that she MUST be possessed by the devil to have such abilities.
She's punished and shunned by her community while her mother prays for a cure and though she tries to repent her power doesn't seem to go away, so eventually her mother snaps and drags her into the wilderness and attempts to throw her to the bottom of an old well.
Her Stand, which had previously not manifested physically, appears then to cushion her fall and eventually she manages to pull herself out of the well with her Stand's help, who she now believes to be a guardian angel. But not wanting to return home, she runs away to face the world alone, growing jaded and bitter over time. She loses all of her faith, and the power to heal inverts itself, becoming a sort of poison. Something that LEECHES life, rather than heal it.
When she's an adult (my age irl so 25 I guess) she's made her way by becomes a bounty hunter/assassin using her Stand and eventually catches the attention of Dio. Who takes her in and explains to her what her Stand REALLY is, promising to teach her how to properly wield those powers if she agrees to serve him. She reluctantly takes his offer, but starts to see him as a familial figure, since no one else had ever tried to nurture or even accept her gift. Dio is the one who giver her Stand the name BellaDonna, after the deadly plant!
#artfarts#self insert#self ship#self insert art#jojo self insert#jojo oc#jjba#jjba oc#jjba part 3#stardust crusaders#jojo's bizarre adventure#and of course wehehehe she meets polnareff and they eventually get together!!#so...i actually kinda forgot that polnareff actually ALSO starts off as an agent of dio 😂😂 with the mind control thing#idk just HOW influential the buds can be. he seems to retain his personality and it just sorta...dictates his morality#and also does whatever dio says. so when he DOES get mind probed by dio my s/i is already his agent#and what im saying is even when they meet THEN hes flirty as hell and immediately interested in her#cause OFC he is thats his personality 😂😂 its his nature hes french#and ofc we know he gets the bud removed and he joins the main cast so im trying to figure out how jane fits in!!#i definitely dont think she joins or turns immediately#i think they capture her first to CHECK for a bud and when they dont find it theyre like...well what now#pol wont let them kill her so they just sorta drag her along and over time she starts to have a change of heart#i think she expects dio to send someone after her or to save her himself but when other agents keep coming and trying to kill her TOO#she realizes he never really cared about her at all#blah blah angsty stuff aside she starts seeing who polnareff truly is and starts falling for him too!!#ok ive rambled enough here if u read all of this mwah im kissing ur forehead 🫶🫶🫶#🩶 just like a prayer 🩶

#kinda incredible that shes being dragged along thro this just bc wilson is treating her instead of house#house md#vinnie talks

Can someone PLEASE explain to me just where exactly in the fuck Ticketmaster gets off charging $116 US dollars in "service fees" on top of what I'm paying for tickets?! Be SO for real right now 🙄
I'm going to start biting things. I'm already having to travel like, 10 hours and stay in a hotel it should not be this difficult to go see things!!
#i'm already having to drag my mom along because i don't think a week was enough time to convince anyone to go with me#and i cannot travel alone or the anxiety makes it fully unenjoyable and i'd rather share the experience#but i don't know if she'll super enjoy it so then i'm paying a lot for her to just kinda have fun while i stress that she's not having fun#i need dnd friends who are not broke and want to do things with me but alas#and other family is out because we're already doing a big family trip in the spring and everyone has kids now 😒#ANYWAY#time to go spend $600 and have buyer's remorse for the next year until after the show when i had a good time#and forgot how much i spent

whats tough about like. Having Chemistry and spending time with someone at the start of the spring semester is that valentines day is coming up and its like a make or break point with what you may or may not Be and you have to question what direction things are headed in and its a pressure just Not present in the fall semester idk. idk
#we uhhhh. kinda hit a bump in the road ...... idk.#hes. been very gentle and kind and understanding about where im coming from and so we havent talked in a couple days but just ....#god ok fuck it. we were hanging out saturday night and at some point we were going somewhere where parking sucked so i just suggested we go#in his car rather than separate bc finding parking for ONE car is a Struggle. anyways so afterwards we went back to where i parked my car#and i hahahhaaaaa was NOT leaving. it was just past midnight and so we were just hanging in his car talking for abt an hour#in there at some point i told him about that last crush and how it dragged on and he was like jesus CHRIST sia thats a lot#i was reclined in my seat and shutting my eyes listening to the music and i caught him looking at me a couple times andddddd uh#yeah basically i ended up in his lap and then we were kissing and touching and grinding for like the next hour and a half#and he asked if i wanted to go back to my place and i was like uhhhhhhhhhhhh not now so we stayed in there and just made out & talked more#and then he TOLD me. basically hes in a similar situation i was in this time last year. like a girl he liked and was talking to actually#has a bf. hes sorta in limbo and she still talks to bim and is stringing him along and playing off his hopes theyll get together for.#entertainment ig. everyone at this school is fantastic btw. jesus fucking christ.#so yeah he told me bc he said he didnt wanna hurt me or end up fucking me over and that i deserved full honesty and didnt want to get my#hopes up. which i REALLY appreciate. we talked for 8 days he got carried away once and immediately owned up. i do appreciate that#so like. he said that we can just be friends with or without benefits and i said id think about it. then at like 3 am we went home and he#check in with me to make sure i was alright since he could tell i had a LOT on my mind. i said id call him the next day and so we talked#and basically i explained the reason for my apprehensions and why i said no to hooking up (csa) and he was really understanding#and then like. i just asked him more about what was going through his head the night before & he described it as a heat of the moment thing#(which i agree it was) and like. he was genuinely concerned about me tho. idk#i told him that after i got home i had to shower for an hour scrubbyat every place he touched me and that im tired of feeling used#and he really heard me out and listened. he also asked if he hurt me and i said no but it def could have gotten to that point and i#and so he said 'im sorry for making your life at all hafrder to deal with' and i REALLY really#appreciate him being as honest as he was. so i said its cool we can be friends but i just need some space rn & he once again was really#understanding & said 'for as long as you need. just let me know whenever youre ready to just be friends again & if you need me to stay sway#from [xyz places we hung out] just let me know and if you need anything for class just feel free to reach out'#and. GOD i appreciate him. so that convo closed out on good terms. i was worried id need WEEKS but it rlly was just a few hours after that#i was ok again. traumas all about narratives and before that convo all i could see was another instance i was usee but like.#after actually talking it out all the fear around it dissipated and i can just see it for what it was: 2 friends who got carried away#but i really REALLY appreciate how hes handled this and we're both single & attracted to each other and so the question im thinking now is:#crushposting

Mavis: I can fix him.
Zeref: She can fix me...
Juvia: He can fix me!
Grey: I can’t fix her.
Levy: I can fix him
Gajeel: I can make her worse.
#Fairy Tail#Woke up at 4am last night with this thought and drafted it SO FAST#I thought of it first for Zeref just for how quickly he clung to Mavis when he realized she has the same curse like#Finally someone to throw my emotional distress at who won't die!#and then she died#I cannot get over Zeref this is the most Tumblr Guy character I've ever seen and y'all are sleeping on him.#I tried to think of a version for Natsu/Lucy or Natsu/Lisanna but neither of them are really fixing eachother#They're just kinda being dragged along#If anything it's Lucy: 'I could fix him but whatever's wrong with him is way funnier' and Natsu: 'I can make her worse'#What's the other Straight™ Fairy Tail ship??#Erza/Jellal I keep forgetting that's end game uuuuh#Erza: 'I could fix him' Jellal: 'I could make her worse (selfderogatory)'#Does that make sense?? Sure.#Anyway Mavis and Zeref are the best characters I've ever had the pleasure of meeting what a Tumblr Blorbo ship#He is her pathetic little meow meow

#was i the youngest person there? probably. the average age was like somewhere between 40 and 60 tbh#but also most of those people are sooo fucking nice#i mean i am slightly annoyed at the people with filled beer cups in the mosh pit#bc someone managed to spill beer over the lower half of my face and my chest which was ew. and someone else fucking Drenched my arm#that was kinda not that great. but otherwise!! the band was Great even tho they were more ska than punk#and the atmosphere was just amazing yaknow#i didnt even stick out that much. i mean do manage to still stick out somewhat in a crowd of punks but still#i mean there was also that 20 something woman and her same-age friend that said we looked cute together? guy and i were both uncomfortable#he apologized a few times and she did apologize too in te end but that was. An Experience lol#sooo much better than the guy that (i think) compared me to chicken when i was waiting for my bus tho#like lmao#geez i really need to infect my friends tho. i neeeed to drag them all along#i need to bully them into the leftist/punk scene#a biscuit's rambles

On the Wind | Eabha & Finn
Every morning, she stood at the shore. Stubbornly, now, she stood at the shore. The wind swept through her hair and clothes in unseen rivulets and no matter the sun or the chill, she stood and kept her watch. when Eabha had been a child, she would wait often this way, wait and watch the horizon for her father to come sailing back, the colors of Hanthom-Calleary proudly flying over the thrashing waters.
Now, however, now she expected to see nothing, waited for no one. She'd seen his head come off, watched the hideous kicking dance of his legs as his head came off, and the awful tide of red gurgle from his severed neck. She'd seen his head seized and placed upon a pike for all to see, braced by a plaque reading 'thus always to traitors.' She'd pleaded for his body, pleaded for his head, and she'd come back empty handed. Roderick wanted them both to display. And she had nothing left to offer back to the sea save her own tears. She couldn't do anything for him.
But standing here, her eyes set upon the horizon...Here, just here, she could imagine otherwise. That he was gone, off on one of his many adventures, and soon he'd return with laughter and smiles to regale them all. It perhaps was no healthy thought, she knew, but it was better than contemplating his lifeless eyes staring sightless into hers, and that was too terrible a memory for even the sea to wash away entirely. All she could do was stand here with the rising sun at her back and think of all she might do -- all he would do, were he alive.
As morning late settled upon the castle, however, she made her trek back from Hanthom under the light of the glowing sun. Lorcan rose up before her, a dark monolith, near as much a prison as the cell in which her father had spent his last days, though she had once known it as a happy place, growing up alongside its heirs and watching her sister marry there, her children born there...Yet she found it difficult to see it thus with the traitor Rian now in charge.
Yet, it was far more cheerful than her candlelight walks to the shore, and she breathed in deeply, hearing the childish happy shrieks of her niece, and formed a smile. She missed the scent of salt in the air, but she couldn't help smile all the same to hear that tiny, cherished voice.
"What chaos is this?" laughed Eabha, arriving in the Calleary quarters to spot Clea slipping inside a wardrobe as Fiona counted.
"Shhh!" demanded little Clea. "We have to be quiet!"
"Why is that?"
"Uncle Finn's still sleeping!"
Shaking her head, Eabha sniffed. "Oh, no he isn't!" she declared, marching into his bedroom and pulling the curtains back. Sunshine streamed into the room and she turned, hands on hips, her expression one of triumph with a brow slightly raised. "Up you get, Finn! I've quite the day planned!" She grinned, a trice wickedly. "Let's go fishing! The people in Hanthom are hungry!"
#so i love everything you said and was totally agreeing!#the only thing that i hadn't addressed is like...him disappearing/rotting more etc i think she's largely dismissing and tryna understand as#symptoms of grief and how he's ~dealing#unfortunately i think her way of dealing is doubling down on duty first and just THROWING herself into her job and that often involves#dragging him along on things!! and then i think she feels guilty abt that after bc she's like 'i gotta let him process' which makes her hur#herself even more into things and yeahhh it kinda cycles#so i think she aggressively leaves him alone then aggressively nags/drags him along in this weird circle and yeah good luck finn honestly#and im so sorry in advance#comment#finn calleary#on the wind

Starting to wonder if the whole rope backpack situation that the haunt I used to work at made the zombie actors do that one year was at least partially inspired by Michonne's pet walkers
#my post#it was poorly thought out and badly done and not nearly enough of us had experience with rope to do that safely#people got hurt#myself included#no cause like in the show she like removes their arms and their jaws and just kinda drags em along so she doesn't get eaten#and at the haunt there were two zombies for every survivor#and we all were assigned a specific survivor and we just had to tie these ropes around our shoulders before we went out#and just trust that they would not for real injure us while dragging us along into our section at the start of the night#cause we had to go through the main area where customers were to get to our places so they decided that we needed something there#and also because the zombie section just wasn't doing as well as they wanted#and enough of the actors got hurt and enough customers complained that they scrapped the idea halfway through the season#and just had us run past the customers in character while zombie by the cranberries played when it was time to go to our spots#why it was one of the more popular haunts in my state i will never understand that place fuckin sucked#some of the scares were good sure but in terms of how the actors were treated and all the bullshit that went on behind the scenes#i could tell so many stories

WE'RE FINALLY DONE WITH TACTICAAAA AGHAGHHS
#took us around 56 hours. which is between what i expected. 50/60 hours.#we're just glad its over and done with (for now. we'll revisit the dlc once we finish royal)#its honestly such a shame that it ended up being the way it was.#it was like. ok the entire first area feels like a way too long tutorial.#and then the 2nd area had some fun stuff but also felt like a drag cause they kept repeating themselves over and over again#in typical p5 fashion...#the third area was easily the best because it finally had good pacing between story and battle amount#and then the last area was like the last area in s frontiers were it was clear that they just. sort of ran out of time#and just decided to recolour some shit from previous areas to throw at you#the final boss battle was kinda nice though but unfortunately we were way too overpowered#on hard mode...? without grinding ever. ok then.#anyways shoutout to brigantine blitzkrieg. the only voltage move we ever used. used it like 8 times in that final battle.#shoutout to ryuji in general btw he was almost always in our team. along w yusuke and ann. they were the dreamteam.#also fun fact. whenever lavenza would talk with spoken dialogue we would straight up cut her off#because she talks terribly slow and we hate her <3#also i like the style of this game. sure. but i feel like it actively worked against itself whenever it would get really serious#the boss designs in this game though? fucking phenomenal like they really knocked it outta the park w those#and every p5 game shouldve used the offwhite in the menus of this one instead of the bright white. my eyes thank the designer of this game#tedpost#tedtalks#and no way in hell ppl finished this game in 25 hours. shut the hell up no you didnt.

😬
the "leader" is more like "leaders". normally one might think of stalin or something, but hes just a blueprint, the actual leaders are the ones at the top of the social pyramid within these spaces, such as popular tankie blogs
this ones obvious. i dont feel like i need to say anything. we've all seen how ppl act on here when you question any of their beliefs or the effectiveness of them, etc. and if you challenge them at all or say you dont agree, suddenly you're a horrible person or even a bigot of some form
i underlined "denunciation sessions" bc theres a big emphasis on here to denounce the old "unwoke" parts of your life. not so that ppl should change for the better, but because there's a pressure to change immediately and throw all your old beliefs out the window without even really unpacking them. its their way or the highway and you have to choose right now and its not a multiple choice test. i also underlined "debilitating work" bc theres an emphasis on reblogging things to "spread awareness" or whatever as soon as it pops up on your dash, and if you dont, you're a horrible person, etc.
while i dont really think many of the options given necessarily apply, they sort of do. you dont need "permission" to date, but you'll be berated for dating the "wrong type of person". you'll be told to change or quit jobs if the job does something tumblr communities dont agree with, even if you need the job, and usually they'll call it "boycotting" to make it seem more legit. they'll discourage you from moving to any state or country that they deem isnt progressive enough.
this one goes without saying. instead of it being some random air of superiority, it's "we're the most moral, correct and progressive people" superiority
this one also goes w/o saying, people on here think incredibly black and white all the time, its definitely encouraged.
this one ALSO goes without saying
this one is obvious as evidenced the past two months. everyone saying "believe victims" and that "rape is always bad" in the past but then coming in to defend hamas' actions at every turn and deny the rape or even say that "if it did happen it was justified". which is a fucking wild way to think about the world and you should be locked up.
also obvious. tankies love to guilt trip. nevermind if it backfires on them and makes ppl resent them and move to the right after. i mean, after all, all they cared about was the power they had in telling ppl what to do, not actually giving a fuck about anything or having any convictions.
yes bc if you interact with anyone ppl on tumblr generally dont like, you'll also be shunned. if you have family members who aren't "progressive" enough and you still accept them into your life and hang out with them, even if you dont necessarily want to or dont necessarily like them fully, the fact you still interact with them at all is bad, apparently.
obviously, bc who would want to stick around a place like this once they realize whats really going on. its why they demonize ppl like me or anyone who questions them too much and pushes us to side, to use us as examples for the new, younger people coming in that they get to manipulate and tell them to avoid you and avoid being like you, since you ever dared to question them. they'll call you whatever they need to, make bullshit up about you, JUST to lure ppl in and tell them how much better they are than you, or that if you listen to them they can avoid being like you.
i mean. yeah? maybe it doesnt seem that way but. ppl asking for money all the time through paypal or whatever? or the overall goal of "taking the billionaires wealth and redistributing it", while its a statement i generally agree with, i dont trust that the people saying it will be that responsible, and would probably just hoard money for themselves, and deprive it from people they "dont like" on purpose, almost as revenge for a real or perceived slight, or just bc they dont like someones "bad vibes".
yeah you're apparently supposed to take having tumblr mutuals very seriously, treat them like best buds even though you've probably never messaged eachother or messaged eachother twice about inane things you saw on tumblr. its not a total stranger bc its someone on tumblr so its fine actually! see, they say they're queer and a leftist in their bio, totally safe! thats all it takes! also activism is reblogging or something ig
if you go to other sites, you're looked down upon. if you make friends outside of tumblr communities, you're looked down upon.
people feel like w/o the communities they've built on tumblr, they have no safety net elsewhere, probably bc they've cut contact with WAY too many people, probably plenty of people who didnt even deserve to be, and probably bc they disagreed on like 1 or 2 things. regardless, they cling to the tumblr "safety" net for dear life. "if no one else got me, i know tumblr got me, heres my paypal" essentially. you cant trust the world outside of tumblr to take care of you never of course, its all bad and horrible and can never be fixed or useful in any capacity, etc. burn it all down and start it again with tumblr users in charge and then it'll be perfect, or so they think.
#cults#ex cult#tankies#yall make progressives look so so bad.#yall actively hurt leftism at every angle.#the way ppl on this website act is no joke part of the reason why conservatives think leftists are in a cult.#its bc the more extreme of leftists kinda fuckin are#sure conservatives make shit up about us too like the whole 'child grooming' shit but they're still not exactly wrong for seeing#some of yall as culty. idk what to tell you. they just take advantage of the perception of the culty part of the left to push a narrative#about leftists in general and sprinkle in conspiracy theories for THEIR own rw cult to keep them in check and to maybe lure in#people who are paranoid- bc ppl have every reason to be paranoid of the culty parts of the left- but conservatives take that and then also#add in a couple lies for their own agenda and benefit. a mom could be concerned about drag queens talking to kids and maybe stumbled#upon kink discourse- maybe even possibly on here- and found minors interacting with the discourse and then goes to the right and they#say that 'yes the left wants to groom your kid into becoming gay and doing 'HEINOUS' 'brutal' kinks! and drag queens are part of it!'#or whatever tf along those lines. and then maybe shes still on the fence about it but some extremist on the left being ironic#embraces all these accusations and shitty perceptions and says they're true to- in their minds- push the right ppl away#even though theyre also pushing ppl on the fence to the right. maybe they do it out of irony or bc theyre just tired of the bs but either#way feeding into it actually doesnt help- not to surprise you! gotta be more careful around paranoid ppl.#your apathy about how you come off isnt always a good thing.#a better example might be when conservatives go 'oh the left is so horrible and violent' and ppl in the middle are like 'really?' and look#over to us for a moment and see the assholes in the back going on about gulags n shit along those lines- only confirming the bias#made against them.
