#someone write that story ok

I used to be scared of heights as a child, I got over it by reworking my brain. It's not the distance to the ground that's important, it's the distance to your ground. Maybe your ground is the swing your sitting on, the large playground equipment that's taller than you, the top of a slide. Maybe your ground is the top floor of an office, the seat of a commercial flight, the roof of a building.

So now imagine two characters, 1 being afraid of heights and 2 having wings. 1 is freaking out about the thought of being in the air before 2 reassures them, saying it's not the distance of the ground to be scared of. It's the distance to 2. 2 is their new ground. As long as 2 is right there, it's safe.

My evil plan to get into your head and distract you from asoh with a different story to write is working😈😈. The only thing left to do now is let the brainworms take root

(No hate against asoh, I just like to be a menace🙃)

You anons are the reason the ASOH sequel was delayed as much as it was 🤣 I love it. I’m trying to balance this longer WIP writing with tiny fics peppered in, but I keep getting distracted. Eye in the sky is a great example of that distraction lol.

story idea: a small group of college roommates are trapped in a time loop. time resets at the end of every day, and they’ve been spending a long time trying to figure out how to break the loop with no luck. they assumed one of them must have some kind of unresolved issue that caused this somehow, like a groundhog day thing. but they all spent a long time working on themselves and all their issues and traumas and nothing changed.

and then they finally realize that it’s not any of them that caused the loop, it’s this random guy on their campus who they barely even know. the whole situation has nothing to do with them, they just happened to become aware of the loop randomly.

anyway this guy is a reality warper, though he hasn’t mastered his powers yet. he created the time loop by accident, but now he’s been using it to try over and over to confess his feelings to a girl he likes and get her to go out with him. he’s tried a million times but it never works out because he’s really annoying and honestly kind of a creep. but the main characters are desperate to escape, so they have to either help this guy win over the poor girl, teach him a valuable lesson about not being entitled to others, or kill him. which would probably be the best option if the guy wasn’t a reality warper who can just pull a cosmic “nuh uh”.

So I keep thinking about Tissaia with epilepsy. Like she's had it since she was a child, but when she came to Aretuza she was able to slowly get a grasp on it through potions and other magical care, to the point that by her accension, she rarely ever had episodes.

But I think it also fed into her obsession with control. There's nothing quite like a seizure to make a person feel out of control, and she hates the way they make her feel... vulnerable, exposed. If she can just recognize and catalog every symptom and trigger, can figure out the exact amount of water she must drink and the exact amount of wine she's allowed to indulge in and the exact amount of time she has to take her potions once the migraines and auras start, well, she can keep them under control - keep herself under control.

By the time Yennefer enters her life, she hasn't had an episode in well over a century. (And hasn't been witnessed by anyone during, in much, much longer). She can almost pretend she doesn't have them, but that doesn't stop the fact that she sees herself in Yennefer from the very first moment she saw her crooked spine and twisted jaw. And she can't tell which urge is stronger, to shy away from her or hold her closer.

All of this to say, I keep thinking about:

A) a post-sodden where the dimeritium in Tissaia's blood and the illness it leaves her with, leaves her struggling with the delicate grasp she has on her control. I think it adds an extra layer to how she interacts with Yennefer. The desperate yearning paired with the pained distance. The anxious need to feel strong for a powerless Yennefer, despite feeling so weak and out of sorts herself. Especially when Yennefer has always been the one to challenge her careful balance in more ways than one.

And B) a post-alzur's thunder where channeling that much electric current has more of an effect than just whitening Tissaia's hair. Electrical injury has been known to cause neurological symptoms, including potentially triggering seizures, and Tissaia channeled enough current to have been vaporized. She should have been. And maybe her control is what saved her, but not without consequences. I feel like she would have been hiding it for days. The faint trembling and unfocused eyes, the other mages can attribute to exhaustion, both magical and otherwise. But Tissaia knows. She knows what's coming, and what's worse, none of her usual preventatives are working.

I think she has a couple minor episodes before anyone else notices. She's always able to retreat to privacy before anything happens. Though there always seems to be a pair of watchful violet eyes staring after her.

Until one day, she just drops. The other mages, of course, panic because they've never seen Tissaia like this, but all Tissaia registers is Yennefer. Yennefer's warm hand gently turning her to her side. Yennefer's voice as it alternates between low soothing tones and commands to the other mages. Yennefer who sits with Tissaia and becomes her balance and control, when all she feels is chaos.

Can we talk about how fcked up Charles can be sometimes? Can we talk about how Charles can sometimes be actually scary as a person? Like he can legit be nefarious sometimes, but those moments are not as talked about as Erik's warcrimes (aside from the holocaust visions from TAS)

girlfriend i promise we're all very aware about how wack charles xavier can be and i assure you his nefarious moments are talked plenty from what i run into. like outside of this inbox most times you breathe charles' name to someone they'll be prepared to start swinging

thinking about Bodkin again bc I mean,,, ALL THE SYMBOLISM OHHHHHGH. i NEED some tumblr film analysis hobbyists to watch this show and tell me all the themes n such

[simcardiac-arrested]

no actually I’d like to hear your thoughts on the isat ending

Like i said it felt really tropey and by that i meant that it’s just Everything Good Happens forever and…..that’s it ? like idk we were building up to this huge catharsis sort of thing and then we got to it and it was so sudden and not a good payoff and just kind of nothingburger of an ending . the fact that everyone just forgives siffrin bothers me, or at least the fact that they don’t confront them about the shit they’ve said and done. call me a mental illness villainizer but i think if you’re a fucking asshole and doing the most insensitive things to the people you care about then hey, i think those ppl have a right to fucking tell you off for it. likeeee idk being at your lowest point …… not an excuse …. not feeling it chief ……. like sure the message is to move past your mistakes or whatever but ? that doesn’t mean just getting away with it ??? and i just really don’t understand Why everyone forgives him. honestly at the end of the day the ending is just one problem, the root of which are the characters. everyone feels like trope cardboard cutouts. oh, this is the smart one. this is the smol bean. this is the himbo. and they all care for each other btw. Did u hear that? they all care for each other. we’re not really going to explain to you why these people are so close or what they went through together but just trust me man they’re sooo found famy. like …. okay. i’ve played 30 hours of this game and not once did i buy that any of the characters really cared about each other. like??? why???? You’re telling me everyone super cares about siffrin even though they barely know them?? you’re telling me siffrin cares about everyone sooo much even though he never even bothered to find out their problems before ? Wat ? and this just breaks the ending more because literally whyyy do these people care about him so bad. and then it’s just whyyy does siffrin Have to tell them anything he doesn’t even seem to know them that well. everyone feels like colleagues and Just Friends at best. and so the ending just seems really forced. like it was written by that type of tumblr user who’s always talking about aww why does the found family have to break up after the end of the journey :( which is like fiiiiine. i guess. but u guys know that u have to build up to it right?? you can’t just tell me they’re Family Members(tm) 102829 times and that they super care about each other source: trust. you can’t just do that and then expect me to believe it ….. It feels unearned. the ending feels unearned and i don’ttttt understand what i’m supposed to take away from it . that it’s ok to fuck people up because you’re traumatized and insecure?? that you have to talk about your deepest problems with people you barely know??? i just dont know. Like i said if im being honest the problems with this game’s writing are more than just the ending, it just stands out so much because there’s a lot of build up and then just …… That

assorted quotes from the introduction of Monstrous Children and Childish Monsters: Essays on Cinema’s Holy Terrors

[sincapjelly]

Everytime someone writes a movie/modern au ninjago fic with Lilly being alive and make her and Lou divorce or fight an angel loses it's wings...

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! ONE CAN NOT EXIST WITHOUT THE OTHER AND I AM NOT BEING DRAMATIC ABOUT IT. I genuinely wonder how people end up on this conclusion. LIke all of Cole's family drama arc happens solely because his parents were soulmates and way too in love and Lou just can not possibly cope with her passing. AND YES. EVEN NOW HE STILL HAVEN'T MOVED ON BECAUSE HE NEVER WILL. DO I HAVE TO REMIND Y'ALL WAY OF THE DEPARTED AGAIN??

I can elaborate. I swear, if one of them was away from home for a couple of days for work or anything, the other wouldn't even be able to sleep, what do you mean they divorce or fight every night??

They are not just some married couple, they are the most soulmates ever- heck they literally PARALLED Jaya with the dance scenes, even giving Nya the yukata Lilly wore in the flashback. If that doesn't comvince you just how much they loved each other then I don't know what will.

Lou not coming to Nya's "funeral" also is even sadder when you look at it this way. It was not only triggering because Nya was gone, it might've also been triggering because of the fact that how much they actually paralel to his own relationship with his passed wife.

ALL I AM SAYING IS. I can not tell y'all what to write. OBVIOUSLY. It just bothers me so much when people pick one of them as the "worse" parent/partner and completely ignore the canon... their story has been majorly retconed, almost re-written ever since s1ep9, just... get over it please...

Also, this is their song 🫶

[ace-ogato]

If Silent Salt doesn't have a period in their life after turning evil where they get so close to redemption, only to slip back into being utterly terrible I will lose my mind. I don't care if it's apart of their backstory or happens during the actual plot of their episodes, I NEEEEEED it to happen to parallel White Lily's story DEVSISTERS PLEASE
