the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living

The forbidden smooth Machete.

A lot of his head is just fluff, without it he's even more noodly than usual.

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.

Bruce died(?) again

Jason: Well, it's my turn.

Dick: What are you talking about?

Jason: Everytime Bruce is gone, one of you starts to act just like him, pushing everyone away, acting as only you can be right, and fighting anyone that gets in your way. Dick did it, Tim did it, even Cass kind of did it. So, this time, I will do it.

Tim: Isn't that how you act all the time?

Jason: Whoa, fuck you. You are so banned from historical drama movie nights.

When Bruce said he was proud of Jason for stepping away from guns, Jason immediately clarified that he wasn't doing it for him.

When Dick said he was proud of Jason for stepping away from guns, Jason didn't feel the need to clarify this.

Interesting contrast I noticed.

i know it's been said many times before but i will never get over how jacob anderson, a british man with a british accent, not only nailed a louisiana creole accent but also developed a studiously (almost eerily) generic accent that louis uses in the present AND showed the first accent bleeding into the second accent at key moments as a way of aurally externalizing his character's inner journey. what did god put in this man when she created him.

State of the Dynamics/Part OOC

Characters and their status as of Sunday night, April 2, 2023.

@meloverse616 :  Carmelo has “made it”.  The two year journey to the NXT Championship also coincides with long weekend discussions involving Taylor (Jacy) and ideas on what future the two want to build together.  Her rapid recovery from a separated shoulder leave the two as “elder statespersons” of NXT, awaiting their present work and possible call ups.

@ludwigsangryfoot : Wrestlemania has finally gone Hellig.  Marcel/Ludwig is facing an uncertain new year, as his teammate Gunther has ascended to the top of the company.  Barthel and Giovanni Vinci are a very serviceable tag team, but their next steps are up in the air.  On a personal note, he did recently end his relationship with Blake Marie, leaving as friends (benefits to be decided).  Tiffany Stratton is finally well in his rearview mirror, as she’s moved along with her impending motherhood and relationship with Kip Sabian.  Sabrina Weber remains a vision from a recent past as well, with the two hesitant about being around one another due to reasons.

@nkakiana - Kiana James received recent attention, with a star-making role in NXT’ Deadline’s “Iron Survivor” scramble.  Her personal life is still in fluctuation, with a flirtation involving Brooks Jensen, mixed with a bit of hostility towards Fallon Henley and their charges.  Kiana has spent Wrestlemania weekend post-Stand and Deliver nose deep in a bottle of Riesling, stewing on their tag championship loss, and the importance of winning vs “the right thing”.

@bui1tdifferent :  Roman now faces a “what next” scenario.  More than anyone else, the WWE’s pending ownership change both can make and break his legacy, and where he will be viewed in the history of this industry.  While not as mentally fragile as the “Tribal Chief” character, he has now started to see the errors and backlash he’s received due to treatment of the Uso brothers (including Solo Sikoa).  The Spring of 2023 shows that the “Island of Relevancy” is a very lonely place because of his choices. 

Any interest in said plots, please contact the individual journals.  No ideas will be ignored, and all can be developed in-game.   Thanks again to everyone participating here, plus those new to the community as well as prior established!

something about s1-3 zane is just. oh this guy is so silly and friend-shaped. look at his friendly boy swag. like????? how could you ever hate him. the ultimate silly

not to hate on his titanium era because frankly it is very cool. but the essence of s1-3 zane is unique and uncapturable. he is just a little guy you can put in your pocket. his default facial expression is so inherently funny. there are no thoughts behind these eyes. i would trust him with my life.
