#take that shit incredibly seriously

[panahedvn]

honestly some of the most well written fics im reading lately were done back when fanfictions were allowed to be earnestly weird

[vaguely-concerned]

...you know with a fandom that has lasted 30 years I'm sure I'm not saying anything new here, but 'right after his best friend from when he was thirteen (who he newly reunited with and asked to sleep over at his apartment. For Reasons) seemingly flicked his nipple (!!???? mark I have questions) to set him up for a prank and then cupped the back of his neck with rough affection in a deeply homoerotic way' sure is an incredibly specific moment for the camera to deny us access to fraser's expression fhksjafhas

(especially with the pattern over the many many times we see a woman hitting on him where his face will be clearly visible, with his expression placidly (one could be forgiven for starting to suspect tactically) uncomprehending/confused or uncomfortable. though we see him speak of specifically victoria for the first time turned away from the camera -- from behind, and only getting the faint reflection of his face in the window, to much the same effect. I think I might be on to something here.)

It’s finally here, goobers.

The much requested sequel to Remplir Sa Bouche is finally here!

I have slaved over a hot stove to prepare this meal for all of you, but it was a labor of love. I could not have expected that original one-shot would have been so well liked. It certainly served its purpose as an appetizer, so many people were asking for more!

Anyway, please enjoy the first course of your meal! (๑>؂•̀๑)

i actually feel so incredibly uncomfortable and isolated in this space right now and i know that’s silly because of how many people there are just like me who share the same feelings but idk…the fact that people even think this is defensible behavior is making me feel sick

I only have 1 very controversial opinion:

You should have a license for kids and pets.

Long rant incoming:

Like... yeah, I know it's bad, it can be strumentalized politically etc etc. I know I know- controlling natality like that is dangerous and stuff. Fine, I get it, I swear I do.

But seriously after all the [INCREDIBLY BAD] parenting I witness (especially now that I am staying at the theme park) and the straight up animal abuse (because otherwise I don't know how to label that shit) I see from certain dog owners...

GEE I GET IT PARENTING/TAKING CARE OF AN ANIMAL IT'S HARD BLA BLA BLA. Don't have them. Please I swear to God Don't make what are supposed to be good memories fucking miserable to your kids.

Just be humble and seek some help or informations on how to take care of something/someone else.

Look. I've seen poor dogs laying on the floor under the few shadows that are here and there tired, absolutely devastated. And I know for a fact the ground ain't cool, those dipshits that own them walk with fucking shoes on and forget the main reason they do huhhh???

DO NOT BRING DOGS WITH YOU AT THE THEME PARK. JFC IT'S NOT THAT HARD OF A CONCEPT. Your dog will be tired, the floor is literally lava, you CANNOT bring them on the roller coasters and you cannot leave them to the staff. It will be stressing for you and miserable for them, do not fucking do it.

And please parents don't be assholes for a day? Jfc it's the first time your 5yrs old kid has experience something like that, be patient???? My god, they're excited, YOU brought them here, match even a half of their enthusiasm.

I know your kid has asked you to look at [insert thing] 30 times and you've already seen it 3000 times before. THEY HAVEN'T. THEY ARE FIVE FFS. LOOK AT THEM SHOWING YOU THE COOL THING. It takes five seconds, even less and they’ll be satisfied.

And the ones who snap at their kids after they ask them something twice.

I hate you. You should have never reproduced. You made life miserable for both you and your poor kid that DOESN'T DESERVE YOU.

Like I don't get it, kids ARE hard and can be pretty annoying, 100% no doubt in my mind. But also if you listen to them, if you [EDUCATE] them and understand how they think... it does get easier. You're the parent. If you don't know how your kids "work" you're doing a bad job.

And maybe you are gonna think "hey Zero, you don't have kids you don't understand, also there is a difference between a parent ignoring a tantrum and what you're saying maybe they are..."

NO. Nuh uh! I've been around children all my life, I've had to help some parents, spend a lot of time being the babysitter of the friend group to the younger siblings.

And guess what? I was their favorite person, why? I matched their energy, I LISTENED to them and I was KIND to them when they asked something. If I had to stop a tantrum I didn't turn it into a screaming match.

Guess I was doing SOMETHING right if ALL those kids from different backgrounds and contexts decided *I* was someone worth listening to.

______________________________

On a more serious note, I know a license for kids is not a good thing because 100% this would be strumentalized against natives, people of color, poor people, etcetera. Yes, yes, I know. It should never become a reality. I am just venting about the bad parents I see, and I wish nothing for them to see the error in their ways and to not further traumatize or make their kids' lives miserable and start over. I believe in rehabilitation and redemption.

I am just angry and tired mate.

A license for animals, however, is something I am starting to believe in after some shit I've witnessed. These owners are dangerous.

on the scenes where rook visits varric in the infirmary, I like to think marina just stands next to the bed and stares at it in silence, thinking she’s talking to varric when she’s absolutely not. like woman who’s dissociating bc she doesn’t know what to do with this grief 👍 hasn’t acknowledged it either 👍 and part of the reason why she’s so adamant on completing this job is to make it up for him. that if she succeeds, it’s not her fault for letting him die - that his death was noble and meant something and it’s not just death. and she gets so frustrated when things arent going her way at the start because she doesnt want this to be on her head you know, and she doesn’t know how to tell bela she let one of her close friends die on her watch. she can’t face that, so she’s 🏃‍♀️ refusing to acknowledge it exists at all.

marina is the type to do what she wants. she likes to exercise her freedom and she doesn’t like to be bound by anything, and she doesn’t feel like she owes anyone anything either. she’s a very living in the moment type of woman, and she has little care about others - only herself. and she’s convincing herself at the start that she’s only doing this job because she wants to - why not save the world? it’s not like she’s doing anything atm I mean how hard can that be 🤷‍♀️? not bc bela put her in it bc of that mishap with that noble and lof upper management politics, and now she feels compelled to see this through because of varric. i think her intentions weren’t really about helping other people at first - that’s something that comes later when she makes herself care about other people - but it really was about her helping to pass the time bc I like the idea that she half believes in what varric was saying was real. she’s skeptical about elven gods being real (she doesn’t even believe in them tbh), but she knows powerful mages are so she’s more inclined to hunt down an elven mage who’s trying to do funky stuff with the veil as a way to kill time before she can go back to the lords and do pirate stuff again. but then it actually turns out real, and now she’s bound to do this job because she thinks she owes it to varric.

and i think her intentions changes overtime to her actually genuinely wanting to save and help everyone when she becomes less selfish and she lets herself come to care about other people. she becomes less of a solitary person - she actually starts giving a fuck about the companions bc i think at the start she doesn’t!!!!!! give a FAWK. they tell her about what’s happening with their lives she’s like 😒 that’s nice but this isn’t in my contract lol. she sees them as an expendable crew at first (tbh I think she would’ve exploded on them if they failed their job like 😭 she’s a professional about her gigs why can’t these people do the one thing she hired them for 😭😭😭) but people she comes to care about later on. and i think that plays well with the marineve arc 🤭 bc i like the idea that the attraction really only starts after minrathous burns. like she flirts with neve here and there but it’s not serious to her, and marina flirts wth anyone if she feels like it anyway lol. but anyway my prev hc of their relationship being this thing where marina becomes fascinated with neve’s drive to protect her city even if it feels futile, and more so after her city burns and she becomes hardened, because she wants to understand it. why is that terrible place worth saving? why do you try so hard? and it influences her as well because she gets affected by neve’s resilience, and she comes to admire it too. and maybe she does want to be like her in a way 🤭 n maybe she wants to try being genuine for once 🤗

i will literally never be over symphogear. watched some amvs today and rewatched the final confrontation between hibiki and shem-ha and i just. my god it makes me cry every single time.

it's the LAYERS!!!!!!! it's the fact that when hibiki overrides shem-ha's network brainwashing of the entire world, every human being on earth has the single thought of "take back our future" which can of course mean taking back their future from the god that wishes to turn them into a hive mind, but also that Miku's name is actually spelled 未来(mirai) which means "future", which means that the thought that is ACTUALLY binding all of humanity together is Hibiki's overwhelming love for Miku!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[goodnightwindy]

ok it's settled. once ive finished reading the bible im gonna cosplay a character from it

[obituarybug]

Hate when I read an AU fanfiction and it's like. This is just your OC you just added a character's name to it

[meatriarchived2]

specifically looking at the hewitts since granted i know more on the remakes than the others but,

the hewitts only got vague, limited police action looking into them in '03 after erin chops thomas' arm off and gets away. and even though theres' coverage of it and everything, that literally ONLY happens after 4-5 straight years of the hewitts doing what they do, from 69-73 in terms of solely the remake timeline.

that's still a shitton of time to be ACTIVELY killing people to y'know. not fucking die yourselves. then combine that with the sawyers - their additional family members, their own trails of ruthlessness added into the mix, and this entire combined family unit likely has kill counts all around in the hundreds if not even way past that.

but even with the police involvement in the remakes?

its all SO SLOPPY, its hardly conducted with any real CARE about their own well-beings. like??? ya'll went into that house while THOMAS was STILL THERE... didnt even SECURE THE HOUSE.....

and even with the found footage? no arrests, presumably. the remaining hewitts are still at large, thomas is still at large. like... all ya'll did was corral them to their fucking confusing ass tunnel system and made luda (if we count the comics) far more involved and ruthless in the actual killings than she was in the movies lol

and yes technically speaking with charlie's death that could sever the stronghold they've got on the police and sheriffs' around them - but at the same time - how bad would it look of them to SUDDENLY flip a switch and try to unpack the years worth of missing persons, cold cases, murders, kidnappings, break-ins, assaults, etc etc that they swept under the rug? that's WAY too much man power, esp for back then. no one is gonna do that shit.

so. i truly dont think they have much to worry about even in the event of charlie dying - because the fear and influence they've instilled stands for law enforcement to continue to do fuck all - to save and cover their own asses.

me crawling out of bed to type this and disappear back to my cocoon right after but-specifically looking at the hewitts since granted i know more on the remakes than the others but,
