Whenever Till sings about mizi and or needing her I notice that he always imagines her child self..

I think it's honestly because he's scared of actually seeing Mizi and how she ended up after all these years, because she isnt that child anymore.

he idealizes the child who saved him from his darkness when he was younger and gave him a reason to keep going through the pain of being in Alien stage. He idealized what Mizi used to represent, a sweetness and flowery purity that is rare in the world he lives in. She was untouched by the horrors of their reality in the way he could lose himself in. So he clung to her like a lifeline because she WAS his lifeline, but he has yet to recognize the Mizi who has changed so much from when she was a child, he hadn't met her yet. I hope Till has an open-eyed moment if and when he sees Mizi again not as the child she once was but as the woman she is now. I feel like that'll have a much-needed impact on his character development.

Fortesa Latifi, We Were Young

It took me a long time to realize this because, but the conversation between Lady Catherine and Elizabeth is rude, but for the most part, Lady C is not wrong.

“Why did not you all learn? You ought all to have learned. The Miss Webbs all play, and their father has not so good an income as yours. Do you draw?”

“No governess! How was that possible? Five daughters brought up at home without a governess! I never heard of such a thing. Your mother must have been quite a slave to your education.”

“All! What, all five out at once? Very odd! And you only the second. The younger ones out before the elder are married! Your younger sisters must be very young?”

Yes! They all should have learned and they probably should have had a governess. Especially Lydia and Kitty. The other heroines without a governess (Catherine Morland, possibly the Dashwoods) do have very attentive parents who manage their education. The Bennets don’t have dowries, they could at the very least be educated. It’s far less expensive.

And yes! It’s insane to have five daughters out at once. Even if we just look at it from a financial standpoint, that means five girls need ballgowns and adornment all at once. Families usually put only one or two girls out because of the prohibitive expense. And then we have of course the fact that Lydia is probably too young to be out anyway.

Elizabeth defends her family’s choices, kind of, or at least gives an explanation, but not allowing her family to be dragged through the mud is different than saying her upbringing was correct. And even if she kind of agrees with her family’s justification now, she certainly realizes how devastating these choices were later.

And yet, because Jane Austen is so clever, Lady Catherine is still a rude idiot. A good deal of what she says even during this conversation is ridiculous and condescending. But that is the genius of Austen, she sets up this argument so you get on Elizabeth’s side, even though Elizabeth is wrong. Which is the same as with Caroline Bingley’s warning about Wickham, we discount it because we dislike her and she sneers, but in her speech is the truth.

It’s a nice parallel with Darcy’s first proposal. He’s not wrong, but he is still a rude, condescending jerk about it.

Misc. things I've doodled while making more au concepts

[bumblebeeappletree]

So I just got this idea after seeing a few of fics. In those fics there were the ASL brothers went back in time to be onboard the Oro Jackson with the Roger Pirates. They varied in the ASL’s ages. I can’t remember if one was them actually being kids or it was more like universe travel where they were put into their kid counterpart’s bodies.

But anyways. I thought “well what if the brothers were even younger than that?” So what if before Ace and Sabo even meet, so like at most maybe 4 years old and Luffy is like 1 years old, they all went back in time. And while I don’t remember what age Ace was told about Roger, let’s just say that this was before he was told about it.

So now while the Roger Pirates helped raised a baby Shanks together, now they have to deal with two small children and one baby going on toddler. Except two of these three are D’s and the third one experiences the life of a D by osmosis.

I loooove the "empty rotting eyes" of Law. Smtiv and Strange Journey really do this best (especially SJ since you see your characters eyes)

One of the few times someone calls Mikado a paradise. Jonathan's belief in preservation is challenged in that what peace he knew has been tainted, and yet he still wishes to return as much as possible (which is why he is able to disregard Tokyo--although he is still later horrified by how the angels speak of Tokyo)

[deathlonging]

kind of horrifying but also freeing how with enough time to let it simmer you can come to accept anything

the unreliable memory unreliable narrator show is making me insane.

Before heading to bed, I'll be leaving here a small reference of Emberfire in regards of the Latin lines, as those sparked quite the interest in me. For those of you who might be curious of what these say, here is a small translation!

Nec fatum finire te. Nor fate will end / finish / complete¹ you.

Nec tribulatio potest. Nor distress / trouble / tribulation can.

Haec olim meminisse iuvabit. This will help to have remembered once (upon a time).

complete¹: Based on the lines and the overall lyrics of the song, complete as a translation doesn't mesh well with the meaning of the rest. Adding it to provide another meaning finire has, nevertheless.

Seriously, I wish I knew what I was doing wrong with my writing, tho, bc if I want to be a career author, why can't I get anyone to engage with what I share for free? Isn't that a sign of being EXTEMELY BAD AT THIS?! (And yeah, lots of my followers aren't active, some might be bots that slipped through, and people miss things on their dashes, but most of the time, I get notifs for reblogging other people's writing from the couple of hundred who must still be active out of nearly 1k. Whatever I post? Not wanted.) And please don't "write for yourself" at me if you see this, bc I've been writing for over 30 years and couldn't name anyone else I am doing it for. Even with gift fics, I don't write anything I don't want to. Edit: Also like... it's hard to express these feelings and not go, "ugh, shut up shut up" to myself, but... I can't really keep going on like this (with the nonstop only-ever-experience-failure* part), I just can't. *Some people never do anything but fail, we try and try and try and maybe maybe maybe it'd help to be believed that when we can't swim on our own, we drown Another edit: I just... I want to be good enough, and I want to be happy, and I want time and spoons to write, and I want to stop waking up scared bc things keep getting worse and I can't save myself.
