#some conflict is needed okay?

SO much timephoon discourse can be solved by the fact that the show is aware that the triplets (louie) shouldnt be expected to immediately think of della as a mom, and also that della isn't the Greatest Mother Ever (because she. yknow. met her kids 10 years late)

watch Southerners come swinging at Tevinter enough for a long enough period of time and watch Neve go "oh and Ferelden is SUCH a fine example of society."

So what’re your favourite tnmn ships?

Thank you for the ask! Here are some of the ships I like most, each character within the parentheses is a different ship option I like for the first one:

Steven x (Francis/Elenois/Nacha/Angus)

Francis x (Steven/Nacha/Izaack/Angus)

Nacha x (Francis/Steven/Angus)

(worth noting that all of the Angus ships cited above are one sided from his end in my HCs, but I could see some of them working as a mutual thing in some scenarios as well)

Teutates x (Yog/Lilith/both)

Anazareth x (Yan Luo/Barbatos)

any updates about your fics?? :0

(pls don’t feel pressured to respond to this if you’re busy!!)

!! hello anon :3!! <333

ive been writing a specific part for Unstoppable Force, where volition and harry talking to each other. and oh holy shit this fucking conversation is like!!! YEAH it's in character and i know what to write, but it hurts so fucking bad to actually write it, help me hgkjg

while the volition and electrochemistry thing is the main plot, on the side there's also kim who just transferred precincts, and harry who has a crush on him. and the kim/harry parallels to volition/echem... "i'm putting up a front of reserved responsibility and i have to repress any emotion that could compromise my commitment to my duties." immovable object and "i feel like the worst kind of mess and i want to get better but i don't know if i deserve to be helped or loved because im a mess." unstoppable force :']

but VOLITION IS STILL A SKILL, SO HE'S ADVISING HARRY WITH THIS PERSPECTIVE. so when harry says "kim shouldn't like me, huh?" then volition (who is projecting himself and echem onto kim and harry's relationship) swallows and says, "you're right. kim shouldn't like you, and if he does, he feels like he's making a mistake. he probably wants - more than anything in the world - to stop feeling that way, and for you to stop feeling that way about him."

and harry (who is taking this literally because he doesn't know what's happening between voli and echem) sadly agrees "yeah. liking me will probably get in the way of his work. he shouldn't want to love me, that just... wouldn't make sense for him. im only making him worse."

BOYS. ITS A FEEDBACK LOOP. ITS AN ECHO CHAMBER. YOU'RE ONLY FUELING EACH OTHER'S ISSUES. STOP STOP STOP HGJKG

They didn't give Kes enough of the cute little scarves with earholes that the Ocampans on the 5th planet had.

I guess the explination is that their fashion signifies the devoutness to The Caretaker, as some of the colony people working have more colourful, scarf-less costumes like Kes, but idk it would have been fun to incorporate it. I like how varied they are in the sihouette and kinda-retro futuristic. They could have coordinated well with her fun little dresses, and been peak scifi with her little blonde bob poking out. (maybe being the same colour as something in her outfit)

BUT I GUESS WE'LL NEVER KNOW BECAUSE THIS SHIT AIN'T DOCUMENTED AT ALL LOL. Sidenote those boots that one bloke gave Harry and B'Elanna were very expensive looking lmao.

[silent-sentinels]

Hey, I don't normally make my own posts about this, but.

Do not argue with an anti on their own terms.

Don't get me wrong, I get it. You see the hypocrisy. You see the way they take aim at your favorite ships or characters or tropes while enjoying something similar. And you think "if I can point out to them just how hypocritical and idiotic they look right now, everyone will see our argument, they'll see that the anti is wrong and a hypocrite, and then maybe more people will stop harassing the people who like my thing. Maybe the anti will see the light and stop being a hypocrite."

But it will not work. It will not work.

There is an extremely high chance one of two things will occur:

They will double down on their argument, and ignore what you've said. (Ex. They might say "This relationship has an age gap. That's p3dophi1ia. That's dangerous." And you might say "well you ship something with the same age gap. Is it not p3dophi1ia and dangerous when you do it?" And they will just double down and say "This ship is dangerous. The shippers are grasping at straws to make their p3d0 ship normal.")

They will agree with you, but in the worst way possible. (Ex. Someone says "Ew your ship are basically siblings because they're childhood friends and grew up together. 1nc3st apologist." And you might respond "And yet we allow our most popular ship in this fandom to be popular? They grew up together as childhood friends and were inseparable. Why is that not inc3st?" because you think they'll gain a sense of perspective here. But then that person responds "People who ship that popular ship are freaks too then." Maybe they believed that before the convo or maybe they didn't, but the point now is that (while not your intention or fault by any means) some people have gone on to harass shippers of a ship that aren't doing anything wrong. What you think will bring clarity ends up raising tensions between shippers instead)

Do not meet them where they're at on their preconceived notions. You will not make them believe that they are wrong or hypocrites. Do not concede to their heavy assertions of abuse, p3dophi1ia, 1nc3st, etc levied against the thing you like for the sake of arguing that they are a hypocrite, or with intent to make them feel dumb for inadvertently labeling 80% of a fandom with said labels. They will not "see the light". The best thing you can do, if you have to say anything, is double down with "I'm not hurting anyone and it's fiction. I can do whatever I want" or "I don't give a shit what harmless things people like as long as it's tagged and I can filter out what I dislike" (especially if this is your stance). Then block and move on.

Antis, like trolls, thrive on engagement. They want you to argue so they can continue to point at you or lie about you or make you look bad.

It is in your best interest to pick your battles, and to try to sus out the difference between a friendly argument or standing up for yourself versus feeding the trolls. You won't make the right choice every time, all of us are human after all, but I promise you that ignoring and blocking bad faith actors, deleting their hate anons, etc, is not the coward's way out. Sometimes you don't need to fight. Sometimes keeping yourself from platforming bad faith actors and giving them nothing to go on will do the job (because there are more antis that are just small blogs with little power to do anything than you think, the kinds of people whose inflammatory posts will die if no one touches them).

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

I mostly like living with other people but if they don't stop stealing my food I will explode.

The worst part is that no one will admit to it, but there are only so many people who have access to our fridge. We've also had stuff mysteriously appear in there that no one will admit to putting there. I almost wonder if my roommate's friends she invites over sometimes are to blame, because surely she wouldn't lie to me about this? And she doesn't have much of a motive to lie about who the moldy tupperware belongs to, considering we've all made that mistake and no one gets mad about it.

I'd just really like my food to stop disappearing, okay? It's always the good, expensive food too. Regular food thievery is bad enough, but stealing food from someone with food restrictions who A) can't easily get more and B) has to pay three times as much for food as everyone else? Really fucking uncool.

Yes, I know the mature responsible thing to do about this is have an actual conversation with my roommate. But I'm not going to do that, I'm going to continue quietly seething.

I am sorry but if you don’t feel some kind of emotional crisis as a fan of Taylor, seeing her willingly associate with a vile racist human. You’re not a good person actually.

Beginning to really wonder how much of my financial concern is manufactured and handed to me as opposed to something I'm genuinely concerned by

[wcvensouls]

" you must forgive me, " for he found it hard to establish the past from the present in the features carried on by dan heng, he who held such uncanny resemblance to someone jing yuan himself had to witness the downfall of. " for while i do understand that you are dan heng, the remanents of your past --- your ancestor --- stir up emotions within me i find it hard to establish. "

regret, mostly, flooded his bones at the sight of dan heng's regular features. not due to his mundane self resembling that of dan feng the most, but due to knowing that behind that exterior was the lingering presence of someone jing yuan had once seen as a dear friend. it brought an uneasy feeling around, blending in with the lingering regret he carried with him despite all this time.

" i cannot expect you to understand , nor i will encourage you to. " for he had simply summoned dan heng to a private audience in order to clear the air of its uncertainties. " however , i wish to share the reason for my ... well , approach to it all , and while the memories of the past might have come flooding to you i ... i only want to say that despite the outcome , the price that had to be paid for the treason , i respected and admired dan feng for what he was and the strength he had. he was a dear friend of mine, dan heng. "

returning to the luofu was strange, even though this place had once been his homeland. although dan feng had gone through the cycle of rebirth and was no longer in this world, dan heng still bore the punishment that was given to his predecessor, as well as the burden of the consequences of his actions, in more ways than one. he should have been cleansed from the sins commited by the previous high elder upon being reborn... yet he understood that things were not quite as simple. he could tell the general that he was not dan feng as many times as he wished, yet there was a part of him that simply understood. perhaps there was also still a part of dan feng lingering inside of him somewhere, one that made him feel a sense of familiarity upon looking at jing yuan's face and made him see a person that should be a stranger as someone he unexplicably cared about.

still, dan heng reminded himself that he was no longer the same person & that the person the general missed was not himself, but an echo of the past that he happened to bear great ressemblance to. when being summoned by jing yuan for a private audience, he had already imagined what would be discussed — and dan heng felt a sense of uneasiness take over him even before arriving here. if he was not dan feng in any way, then why did he still feel a certain sadness whenever he was around the other, seeing the way that he would look at the face he shared with the high elders of the vidyadhara? sometimes, it was as if he was missing an old friend, even though such memories did not truly belong to him.

dan heng had kept his head down for a moment or two as he listened to his words, before he dared to look up and meet the other's gaze, an indescribable look on his features. " general... " he spoke in a quiet, yet serious tone — with a hint of a softness that perhaps was a bit unexpected to even dan heng himself. " you need not explain yourself to me. " he paused for a moment before continuing. " i understand that dan feng's presence, as well as his sin, cannot be so easily erased through rebirth. and i can understand that my own presence here makes things rather... complicated. " whether he was still around or not, there were still people on this place that would remember him — and, in this moment, dan heng realized that, perhaps, jing yuan was the only one that could still remember the good in him.
