Seto would like to be able to open himself up to more intimacy in his relationship with Yugi. However, the first step is actually being comfortable with the small things.

HUSK, Hotel Bartender & Concierge | 1x04 - Masquerade
"Oh, I FORGOT ā you're the wise-old bartender who's seen it all! Get the fuck over yourself and pour me a real drink."
#hazbin hotel#husk#husk hazbin hotel#hazbin husk#hazbin hotel edit#masquerade#my gifs#character spotlight#Certified Redemption āļø#hello hi i'm in love with the kitty man like actually#he NEEDS more screentime in s2 in fact he needs his own episode#PLS PLS she confirmed that we're gonna get to know some (but not all) of the character's backstories in s2 PLEASE LET HUSK BE ONE OF THEM#I'LL ACTUALLY DIE THANK YOU#alright i'm coming back to these tags to point stuff out#first off - the fact that he closes his eyes and shakes his head and reaches up to hold his suspenders before offering actual help#physically hyping himself up to lend a hand even though his whole thing is having an empty shell of a heart - apparently.#AAAAAA#but ALSO#holding his suspenders - self soothing gesture possibly? he knows lending a hand could give way to vulnerability on his end regardless if h#even shares personal information about himself or not - at the BARE MINIMUM he is saying ''look. i care a little. okay?'' by even OFFERING#help to begin with. AND OTHER THING!!!!!!!#the fact that he himself bitched and moaned earlier that episode about how EVERYONNEEE likes to bitch to the bartender#and he talks about how he knows everything about everyone seemingly against his better wishes#it's all part of the job he's forced to do#so you could also look at him shaking his head as a way for him to literally ''shake off'' that attitude because again. HE CARES.#even if it's just a little.#then GODDDDD his reaction to angel breaking down. the way he softens. his ears go down. he looks to the ground.#his ''old crusty heart'' was actually touched - not in the happy way of course. it was pain. struck with sympathy and remorse.#LISTEN I LOVE THIS GOD DAMN CAT OKAY

Jaiden: Cucurucho, you have a lot of power, right?
Cucurucho: ...I don't know. Maybe.
Roier: Ah... Yes, you know, don't act like a dumbass, you have it. You have it, man. Eh?
Jaiden: Is there a way for us to protect all the Eggs? Do you know? I don't want anything to happen to the Eggs that happened to Bobby.
Cucurucho: Ha ha ha
Roier: WHAT? [Smacks Cucurucho]
Jaiden: [Bops him] Headpats.
Cucurucho: Maybe.
Jaiden: [Continues to bop him] Headpats. C'mon, I can get it out of you! Headpats! Chin scratches! Belly rubs!
Roier: [Joins Jaiden in bopping Cucurucho, chuckling and laughs]
Jaiden: Yeah? He's comin' around!
[Jaiden and Roier both laugh]
#Jaiden Animations#Roier#Cucurucho#QSMP#Jaiden#Animations Family#There is. So much I could say about these three#and so much I could say about their relationship / interactions with Cucurucho and Osito Bimbo#Cards on the table... I really would have loved it if Cucurucho / Osito genuinely cared about Jaiden#I mean I know they DID care about her to some extent that much is clear#But they / the Federation were also ABSOLUTELY using her. I'm not arguing that they weren't#But how could anyone not be charmed by Jaiden? The boba the tea parties the head patsā#The empathy and kindness and everything that made q!Jaiden who she wasā#Cucurucho and Osito were tools of the Federation but I do want to believe they cared about Jaiden. Albeit in their own fricked up way#I dunno. I know this sounds like massive copium probably but I watched all of her and Roier's streams interacting with them#and I personally think that conflict and duality makes for a more interesting story#But that's just me and my own personal biases. I dunno how to properly put it into words but I am cradling them all close to my heart#I loved Cucurucho / Osito and I thought they were interesting and I'm SO SAD we'll never know what Jaiden did for them in the past#Anyways. For anyone who's read this far into my rantā you know how Cucurucho saved the Eggs and Jaiden said she died in Purgatory?#I like imagining that she survived the bomb and wound up finding the Eggs in the aftermath#and she helped them survive until Cucurucho found them#I imagine that Jaiden was the reason they were able to escape from the Island / The Watcher / ElQuackity#She stayed behind to slow down their pursuers. And Cucurucho rescuing all the Eggs fulfilled his agreement with Jaidenā#A promise to protect the Eggs#Like I said a lot of this is copium but that's what I like imagining#TLDR: Cucurucho / Osito did care about her in a weird way but that doesn't mean they weren't manipulating her#May 31 2023#Idk man I got a lot of emotions about q!Jaiden#Roier too but I feel like I've done way more analysis posts about him and Cucurucho. Jaiden needs time in the spotlight#Anyways there's my monthly tag rant

Something I find really funny is how for all the rumors that Seedās staff/writers donāt like Cagalli, Orb under her leadership just keeps ending up in a better (political) position with each addition - Seed Destiny ends with Logos wiped out, Blue Cosmos severely hampered, and the entire Seiran family wiped out, including Yuna. This leaves Cagalli with almost no political opposition in Orb (since the second Battle of Orb wouldāve flushed out a majority of the Blue Cosmos/Logos sympathizers within the government/military), along with giving her a boost in popular and military support thanks to her actions and field leadership during the battle.
(Cutting for me just rambling on a bit about the in-universe politics after Seed Freedom)
You can tell with how much sheās managed to get done in the years between Seed Destiny and Seed Freedom - in that short year and a half to two years, she was able to propose and found COMPASS, secret away and upgrade the Impulse, Destiny, Strike Freedom, and Infinite Justice, arrange for ties between Orb and Terminal to investigate/exchange intel (Athrun and Meyrin), and put into place all the evacuation/defensive protocols in case of another attack on Orb (as seen vs Foundation and Requiem, even if she needed Kira to pull an āI lived, bitchā to Aura š
).
And it doesnāt end there - thanks to Foundation, Cagalli arguably has an easier time internationally now, because the Eurasian Federation leadership also got hit and the Eurasian Federation, while not necessarily Blue Cosmos sympathizers like the Atlantic Federation, was very staunchly anti-PLANT, which I think wouldāve caused some problems for Cagalli, especially post Seed Destiny with Lacus joining her for that broadcast.
I actually think Orb probably has fairly decent diplomatic relations with PLANT (I think Chairman Lament mostly cut off that call after everything went south in Eldore because of the whole nuke situation), especially since Lacus is COMPASSās inaugural president, plus the time both Dearka and Waltfeld (Iām not sure if heās in Orb or PLANT as of Seed Freedom since his silent cameo has him helping to stop the coup in PLANT in Seed Freedom) spent there. And we have a very prominent all-Coordinator team with the Yamato Team - truth be told I actually wonder how much the Earth Alliance invested into COMPASS because everything we see on screen is either contributed by Orb (Archangel, Murrue and crew, Kira, Mu, and the Murasame Kais), PLANT/ZAFT (Millenium, Konoe and crew, Heinlein, Shinn, Lunamaria, Agnes, Gelgoog, and Gyan), or arguably both (namely, Rising Freedom and Immortal Justice). Unless I missed a minor crew member along the way. Which is possible.
Also pure speculation on my part on this - but the fact Seed Freedom has Athrun going into intelligence with Terminal (which we first see as having a presence in the PLANTS) from the Orb side and Yzak and Dearka going into intelligence from the PLANT side canāt be a coincidence. I want to think the three of them decided on it together because being in intelligence/covert ops gives them the chance to work together without having to force anyone to change their current loyalties - I donāt think Athrun can be truly loyal to anyone except Cagalli after Seed Destiny, and Yzak was always loyal to PLANT, and if Dearka hadnāt been captured and made to realize how extreme PLANT had become under Patrick Zala he wouldnāt have switched sides to Orb/Three Ships Alliance during Seed either. Which also indirectly feeds into Orb and PLANT having better political relations than Orb and Earth Alliance.
Which brings me to my final point - I would be very surprised if Orb isnāt the primary target for the antagonists in a Seed Freedom sequel. At this point Orbās capable of doing too much with the limited resources it has as a small nation with too much military strength at its command. And there is room for a sequel (setting-wise) because while Earth Alliance took another major hit with during the Foundation Conflict, the ideologies that led to the First and Second Earth Alliance-PLANT wars still exist - even if Blue Cosmos lost another leader, even if the believers of Coordinator Supremacy lost another leader (in Jagannath) those ideologies still fundamentally exist. All the Foundation Conflict did was serve to take down the military leadership of those ideologies - even if the public on both sides see those views negatively it doesnāt make them go away.
#gundam seed#cagalli yula athha#I like taking the political landscape of Cosmic Era into account when I write#itās just so funny to me bc Orb and Cagalli just keeps getting more badass every time#like Orb has 2 One Man Armies at its beck and call as it is#Kira and Athrun if need be can and will just take out swathes of an invasion force#especially if thereās no opposing prototype unit#and thatās assuming Shinn doesnāt try to help#and Mu is like ā¦ half one since heād go in the Akatsuki#and Akatsuki is battery powered#I do think AsuCaga going public would cause a shift in power balance#even post Seed Freedom bc Earth Alliance still has some power in its own right#and bc most people will associate Athrun with PLANT before Orb due to his name#it might be less bad if itās after Cagalli steps down as Chief Representative#but I think she would still have some degree of political pull unofficially after#and I think Athrun would have more time to put some distance between himself and his fatherās legacy#I think him going into Terminal is a smart choice bc it also lets him do what he wants while staying out of the spotlight#Iāll stop talking in the tags now#just know I find it all fascinating as a backdrop for AsuCaga fic writing purposes

i donāt talk about bridgerton on here but just to clarify. i will not be having ANY eloise hate on this account. i will bite.
#eloise bridgerton they could never make me hate you!!#addressing the normal talking points one by one to get them sorted:#- āno i donāt care that eloise called pen some names after the discovery. she was devastated and furious.#she can apologise in the future but in the moment of course she said it#- āyes pen did write about eloise as a way to save her but that doesnāt mean it hasnāt possibly ruined eloiseās life#- similarly: eloise isnāt (just) angry that she was written about. daphne also went through whistledown and it very much terrified her#so have many other women including marina#- eloise is betrayed because she told pen everything and is realising pen told her nothing#(and sheās probably thinking about any secrets she might have said to her best friend that could now be used against the ton and her family)#- as claudio said: being regency gossip girl isnt a moral girlboss thing its deeply harmful tbh#- āpen did have reasons to become whistledown! that doesnāt mean that sheās innocent or right!#- eloise isnt now friends with cressida to spite pen lmao sheās alone and scared and cressida was the last person who offered her friendship#she has no idea how to manage society by herself#(and she needs someone to improve the reputation of her and her family)#- im also convinced she has other ulterior motives for befriending cressida. like sheās keeping an eye on her or smth#- eloise didnāt just ignore anything pen said and thatās why she only just figured it out. pen deliberately didnāt speak like lw to hide it#the moment she did eloise was like huh thatās weird she doesnāt normally talk like that. and THATS when she figured it out#- eloise just found out her best friend has betrayed her and been hiding this massive secret#but she hasnāt told anyone. not even her own family. im not hearing out any accusations of HER of being disloyal#- also pen clearly wasnāt that upset at writing about eloise bc the moment eloise and colin upset her she went straight back to it lmao#side note but no i donāt think the queen is going to name her the āemeraldā or anything because sheās suddenly in the spotlight#eloise is tbh the only debutante she actually consistently recognised (for good or bad)#a new dress is not going to be interesting for charlotte to change her whole tradition#tl;dr i love eloise and i will die on this hill#eloise bridgerton#bridgerton

God made yuya and yusaku not exist in the same universe because he knew they would be unstoppable as canon best friends
#yuya who is in misery and agony and despair over his self image vs yusaku who dgaf#like yuya is dealing w so much wrt identity issues and yusaku being someone whos comfortable not having an identity#(being anonymous being a forgotten child etc)#and yusaku is so at peace in his own skin (though not necessarily comfortable) and yuya Isnt.#in a way that i think being friends with yusaku would be so good for him. especially because yuya is literally surrounded by -#- insane theater kid superstar wannabes constantly in his everyday life#and yusaku is so Not That. yusaku who lives in obscurity and specifically does everything he can to Avoid being in the spotlight#the spotlight yuya feels like he Has To take#yusaku also i think would be blunt with yuya in a way that he needs. yusaku is like. it doesn't seem like you're enjoying dueling very much.#why do you keep doing it?#and yuya short circuits. why DOES he keep doing it?#arc v#vrains#.txt

literally me right now you don't understand
i wish the webcomic had shown just a little bit more of what happened in the two months between serazade asking for julian's hand and the wedding because it is so heartwarming <3
right after serazade asked to marry julian, they had a family meeting in the middle of the night (including lloyd who was barely awake for it) where the count asked both julian and serazade separately if they were both sincere in their respective declarations of love.
and when they both said they were the count was immediately supportive of them, even taking on the task of asking for the permission of both the queen and the sultan for the marriage.
like. this is a man who by his own words was often to soft hearted and indecisive to be a good lord. and yet when it came to his son's happiness he didn't doubt for one second to take action and wrote to two monarchs to get the permission they needed. he could've easily let lloyd take the lead, reasoning that he already had a connection with both of them, but he didn't!! he stepped forward and did his duty as father without any hesitation or doubts!!
i just,,, really love arcos you guys <3
#i talk a lot <3#tged#the greatest estate developer#arcos frontera#also marbella my beloved i still cannot believe we didnt get more of her in this arc that's literally her baby marrying#why didnt she get also a minute in the spotlight :(#also i would've loved to see her and serazade interact#i have a soft headcanon that marbella hoped she would one day have a daughter but after julian's pregnancy and delivery had complications#both she and arcos decided not to try for another child and so she never had the daughter she wanted#until they welcome serazade into the family. serazade who's starved for family affection#and unused to people caring for her for her own sake#and once they start spending time together it is only too easy for marbella to see in serazade a girl who needs affection#and only natural for her to give it. and so thats how marbella gets a daughter(-in-law) and serazade gets another mom <3

i can very well imagine Fak getting insecure over tony's handyman takeover LOL, like he'll tell carm about some issue happening and carmy will be like "oh yeah, i'll tell tony about it" and fak just follows carmy like. What do you mean tony im right here im the handyman... all in good spirits ofc, and sugar just there telling him "don't worry sweetie we'll find something for you to fix"
God you've ruined me, I'd so dedicated myself to the idea of only following Tony and sprinkling in bits of Carmen's thoughts and NOW I'm COMPLETELY RUINED WITH WANTING THIS!!!
(in a good way, i jest hehe, this was such a delight to read, just kickin' my feet like 'YEAH!! YEAH THEY WOULD!!')
The Fak and Tony dynamic hasn't been touched on too much just yet but it really is so fucking funny, please do know that in the background, this is absolutely what is happening lmao. Fak will have his moment I swear HA-- We will give him a squeaky hammer to help <3
Everyone write fanfiction about my fanfiction fr, it's too fun to write for Tony, I promise you'd love it.
#just send it to me if u do yknow HA#anon ask#yapping#ps if you're reading this chap 4 comes out today probably a couple hours after work today hehe#i had to separate it into two parts because i realized the final scene needed to have its own spotlight#plus it needed a supplemental scene afterwards and it stopped making sense to cram everything together#also i just really wanted to get something out LMAO i love to hear thoughts!!#if you actually read tags pls send me something saying you read this i'm so curious

I need an older sister to talk some sense into me before I fucking implode#getting high and listening to Taylor Swift only helps so much#whatever Iām just feeling really lost and behind and like Iām fucking failing#and Iām really feeling the huge gaping wound in the middle of my family this week#I donāt even know what sheād be like.

#digital art#genshin impact#genshin diluc#part 2 of ?? in my genshin in armour series#for diluc i wanted to balance a bunch of ideas#1. he doesnāt seem like the type to custom order a suit of armour for his personal use#heās from a wealthy family so there might be suits of armour from knights and nobles in previous generations of the family#but he wouldnāt have anything really personal.#2. he is the darknight hero#i imagine he could wear this armour when heās batman-ing it up#in that case it needs to both hide his identity and be recognizable in its own right#i think this is different enough from dilucās regular wear that with some superhero logic would hide his identity#and the red faceplate on a black helmet is recognizable enough to generate an urban legend i think#(i was this close to putting batman ears on the helmet)#oh yeah 3. diluc is not extravagant#heās rich and lives in a mansion and runs a tavern but thatās all mostly inherited#he isnāt trying to get a spotlight in any part of his life least of all when heās vigilante-ing#so the armour has no embellishments or ornamentation

what if mage Hawke ran away to secretly join the kingās army at Ostagar along with Carver
#dragon age 2#alternative post title: Ways To Make Your Mother And Siblings Even More Annoyed With You#carver would be mad because his older sibling wonāt let him do his own thing#bethany is mad because hawke didnāt take her with them#hawke pretends to be a Normal Soldier until things go south at Ostagar#at which point they use magic to get Carver and themselves out of there#herearedragons meta#oc: secret hawke#I like the idea of her being at Ostagar way too much and itās even more fun if sheās a mage who is#a) hiding that sheās a mage b) absolutely didnāt need to put herself at so much risk#c) still stealing the spotlight and quickly becoming popular among the recruits

why does every woman in stem have to be asked about being a woman in stem all the god damn time !!!! just let me live a little gahhh
#yes this is bc of work#we have employee spotlights and i was this months and one of the questions was about being a women in stem#but i also have them so much else about me to talk about but thatās what was chosen to publish#itās just so annoying sometimes#like yes. being a women in stem comes with many of its own challenges#but one of them does not need to be being reminded of and forced to talk about those challenges all of the time#idk. iām just tired of talking about it#corn rambles#corns work adventures

just read an absolute hit piece on the prince of tides in an academic article and the author is like the book is memorable and the film is not because it focuses on the romance not tom's family. maybe it's not memorable TO YOU but i, for one, forgot most of the anecdotes she mentioned in the article from the book (which i did read!) meanwhile i'll never forget sobbing like crazy about their breakup the first time i watched the film
#i would need to reread the book to see if i agree with her#that the climax and most traumatic event for tom is luke's death#BUT i think the film stands on its own#and i would argue the film is really concerned with unpacking tom's masculinity#which was a big part of his idolization of luke#and i also think the criticism about the movie being too centered on the romance is an implicit suggestion#that streisand's vanity got in the way so she shifted the story to be more about tom and lowenstein than tom and his family#but i think it's more complicated than that#their romance is completely intertwined with tom's retelling of his childhood#and the emotional closeness that results from that disclosure is what brings them together#and if you listen to the commentary which admittedly i don't think was available when the article was published#you realize that barbra made a lot of judicious cuts that pulled focus from lowenstein and put the spotlight back on tom#including removing her own song from the end credits because it didn't make dramaturgical sense#(despite the fact that it tested well both ways)

actually one last thing before i go to bed bc i just can't shut up, but it's salty so it's going in the tags
#be on cloud#don't get me wrong i love jeff and i love barcode and i think their show will be great#& while i don't care for reality shows i like that they're trying to give young actors a chance and that p'pond cast yet another gay person#but what the fuck is up with job nodt perth ta us jj pong and ping getting nothing??#this is the same problem i have with gmmtv#they keep trying to add new faces and leave the ones they've had this whole time in the dust#i get that biblebuild jeffbarcode and mileapo are their main pairings and their moneymakers#but goddamn give the others a chance!!#for actors with v little screentime their fanbases are huge!! and they're already well set up for more pairings (jjus basjob tongpong etc)#i did like to see that tong and bas were key players in man suang (fingers crossed for some tongbas action)#but don't the others deserve to have their moment too?#i know making series is hard and i totally agree with what p'pond said. they're not a series churning factory#and i get that they need to hop onto the main three couples while they're hot and generating revenue#so i just hope that 2024 sees the rest of our cast in the spotlight#and that hopefully they get to be in smth outside of boc series this year since they won't be busy with the tour and such#but srsly a reality show to find your next pairing for their own series in a main role?? GIVE YOUR ALREADY EXISTING ACTORS MAIN ROLES#okay NOW i'm going to bed#tea talks#boc 2023

as a longtime sports fan: you gotta just avoid media (/twitter) when your team loses dkafjlaskdfjsa. everyone gets negative and usually the most critical people are the fanbase of the team. just avoiding everything after a loss is the way to go for mental health lol.
i mean... fair. the only reason i use twitter is for the quickness of the info like. getting quotes from them or updates but naturally, the other stuff just seeps in. i mostly just take out my angst here where everyone loves them but šššš
#easks#i love the toronto maple lEAFSSSS SO MCUH...#I WISH THEY FELT LOVED BY THEIR OWn MEDIA BUT#i feel like some of their tongue in cheek comments abt the spotlight are like....#clearly. it is a complicated relationship with the media and the fans#toronto has rlly touted itself as like. hockey capital of the world yada yada but all the ppl at the front of it#media wise. almost have a disdain for this team its utterly bizarre#feels like the leafs are not beloved... but more like show ponies.. lol#which i get . its a sports team. but lord no one is harder on them than their own fanbase its insane#maybe thats true of everywhere but i need some ppl who dont ride the discourse wave every time theres a botched game bc#its nOT that serious and i love those boys to death
