Thinking a LOT about Lucifer in the latest Hazbin episode. Idk what I was expecting but not this??

As I was watching my immediate thought was just "huh... Lucifer is kinda of weird..." but as the episode went on I realized the issue

the dude is off the chain depressed, like he says it as a joke but holy cow it is SO BAD

He's manically just creating rubber ducks cuz his daughter really like it that one time but it's empty, it's never good enough but he keeps doing it, maybe cuz he doesn't know how to pass the time otherwise.

like I get the feeling he HAS better things he SHOULD be doing than making rubber duck after rubber duck. At first I was like, "Bruh why isn't the king of hell doing anything?" aaaaand then it became clear...

The dude is disassociating so bad he can barely hold a conversation let alone remember information. He clearly WANTS to, he wants to be involved with his daughter so bad, he wants to care about the things she's doing so bad, but his depression keeps interfering. It's like he can only hear every other word and he grasps onto the ones he does hear semi-out of context. Like you can see every time he catches something that he hadn't before and he just "well shit I didn't catch that part"

and that's why he reacts so weird when people talk to him. He is struggling so bad to engage with the conversation he's only getting 50% of it

does that look like the face of a man who knows what the hell the conversation is even about??? he is STRUGGLING

like Charlie spent so long telling him about the hotel, and he STILL didn't understand what she wanted. Yeah it comes off as ditzy but literally I've been in that position where your brain just "nope, not doing this right now" and nerfs your conversation comprehension. So as someone who's BEEN in that position, to me it feels exactly like what he's dealing with. He's sorta engaged with the conversation, but only as much as his brain will allow

For example, when I'm dealing with this, this is what someone talking to me feels like this where the crossed out parts are what I missed and bold is what I catch, "Hey! You know I was thinking for dinner we could either make some chicken with rice? But if you don't feel like cooking, pasta is super easy and you love that right? What do you want to do?" you can kinda get that someone is trying to talk to you about dinner, and towards the end you get the impression that they asked something that needs your input so you can decently put 2 and 2 together and try and pass off, but crucial bits were left out, I would have no idea that either chicken or pasta is in the conversation only having heard "rice". When someone is just talking at me, I can decently pass off as being engaged but the second I'm required to participate in the conversation I'm screwed. Seem familiar? At which point I have 2 options, try to give a bullshit answer, or admit that I missed what they were saying and ask them to repeat

Lucifer, unfortunately, is trying so damn hard to hide that he's dealing with like 24/7 dissociation, so he can't admit that he's missing entire chunks of the conversation, hence his really weird replies. He does eventually get the full picture and then he and Charlie start having the real conversation

Also, the Alastor/Lucifer rivalry was hilarious but also really indicative of more of what Lucifer is dealing with

Alastor is, unfortunately, really good at picking up people's insecurities, and thanks to Charlie's description earlier and watching Lucifer clearly trying to overcompensate, he immediately picks up on the fact that Lucifer KNOWS he struggles to be a good dad (we know cuz it's cuz of the depression, hard to be engaged when your brain keeps turning off) and decides to rub salt in the wound by pretending he's been acting as a surrogate father to Charlie. Now why Alastor decided to pick a fight with the king of hell is beyond me, I do not understand Alastor (and I LIKE IT) (maybe it's cuz Alastor thinks he's hot shit and was expecting Lucifer to at least have heard of him but Lucifer just treats him like a nobody? who knows)(why would Lucifer listen to radio anyways when he can't even pay attention to a conversation it'd just be white noise)

But yeah I just was expecting someone who oozed either charisma or presence and instead I got a depressed dad who's dissociating so bad he can barely function and be present in his life. The only thing it seems he CAN do is make rubber ducks cuz his daughter really liked it that one time

Idk Lucifer is tragic to me. Whatever the full details of what heavan did to him absolutely broke him and he can't deal with it. He's aware of it, and he doesn't know how to fix it, so he tries to over compensate and sorta makes an ass out of himself but no one says or does anything cuz this guy is supposed to be THE king of hell

Suddenly it's making a lot more sense why he just rolls over and lets heaven do what it wants and even told Charlie to go in his place the start of the show. He's not in any headspace to hold a basic conversation let alone negotiate! He didn't even know who Alastor was, he's been so out of touch

idk I like him, he seems sweet, I hope Charlie brings some light back into his life. He really needs to get out of that rubber duck room

WHO is saying prose in tlt is too melodramatic?? It is the perfect amount of melodramatic for what’s happening bffr

I have seen people mock the style of the prose as too homestuck adjacent and clearly written by someone who also writes fic. First of all I'm like...if you hate those things so much, I've got bad news for you about 75% of the queer sff getting written these days! I think it's actually fair not to enjoy that style but I do also notice the lines people usually point to are either silly gideon navisms which you either find endearing or you don't but they're clearly a character choice, not a feature of the basic narration of the series. OR they're melodramatic lines spoken by necromancers and cavaliers about each other which I think sometimes people mistake as the author trying to be straightforwardly romantic versus portraying the dramatic emotions of these young queer people who are genuinely not okay + the ways their society is set up to require this kind of over the top devotion from them. Tazmuir does have fun with the drama and I love that about her writing but it's a more thoughtful choice than it might appear at first glance, imo

Wow I'm new here, what happened with you and the hk fandom on Tumblr?? You are so cool what ...;;;.;.; You don't have to answer this of course, I'm just curious :(

Oh it really wasn't the HK fandom in general, more a few select people I think- probably 2-3 at most. Basically, I got semi-popular in the HK fandom for both ficwriting and my frequent headcanons/lore analysis essays, or at least popular enough for people to start thinking of me as such. Around the summer of 2023 or so, I got an ask that had something to do with the concept of Ghost as an adult trapped in a child's body which I said was kinda weird and sus, bc at the time the only exposure I had to the concept was from shitty porn art; pretty much everyone I spoke to previously worked off the concept of Ghost being mentally a child, in a child's body. Well, whoever sent that anon got really upset at me for 'labeling them a pedophile'- even though I didn't say that, I just thought it was fuckin weird- and the whole thing, as you imagine, quickly dissolved into a shitshow that I honestly still really don't understand.

I'd get constant anon messages from this one person about how I ruined their life and opened them up to bullying and harassment because people looked up to me, and even if it was never my intention, it was still my fault bc I was popular and needed to know that I had power over what other people thought/needed to be held accountable for that power. I also got anons from a supposedly different person who said that they hated how I conflated my headcanons with canon and how I came off as a really rude, pushy person, which only got worse bc, well, I have a pretty shitty temper and a bad habit of not letting things go- which resulted in said people claiming that I had a victim complex, and, when I apologized for that and explained that the reason why I tend to be so defensive was bc I grew up in an abusive home, told me that I was just as awful as my father. I turned off anon asks for like, 6 months and then when I reopened them I instantly got a message from them talking about how awful I was and how I was just another popular kid who wanted to tear people apart for clout.

As you can imagine, that really upset me, bc I'm an autistic introvert with paranoia issues who has basically no concept of what people think of me, nor any desire to become popular; social status doesn't mean shit, I don't want people to look at me just my posts, etc etc. I just come onto my tumblr blog to infodump, and my interactions with fandom are more about me just releasing stuff into the wild to categorize them, hopefully gain some fun interaction with like-minded people (I don't know how to initiate conversations and one-on-one DMs often scare me). I'm also one of those autistics who struggle hard with using tone tags/hates misinformation and will try to correct it en loop without realizing people are saying shit just to provoke me (the sharks are smooth thing is something i hate SO MUCH because its NOT TRUE and i DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY SAYING LIES IS FUNNY) and me growing up socially isolated in an environment where anything and everything seemed to provoke a screaming match kinda didn't help with figuring out how to diffuse situations. So from my pov, I fucked up and said something out of ignorance, got defensive, realized I got defensive and was being an ass and apologized, but it just didn't stop. Highly triggering, pretty upsetting scenario. Doesn't help that the concept of 'adult mind trapped in infant body' is one of the very few horror things that give me the ick due to aforementioned abuse reasons, so I couldn't exactly pretend to be sympathetic towards that headcanon either

(and yes, me pointing this out resulted in them claiming that i was using my disability as an excuse, rather than pointing out the legitimate role it had in me not knowing what the fuck i was doing wrong in the situation)

It hasn't killed my love for the game or my desire to write fic for it (I've just been obsessed with Destiny/my Destiny ocs since I started playing DnDestiny with friends, but even though it's on the backburner for now I can still feel the special interest there, lurking underneath), but it's fullheartedly destroyed my desire to write/post longform essays, headcanons, or lore explanations, because I just feel like I'm coming off as an insufferable know-it-all who's trying to correct everyone in my path. I came pretty damn close to just deleting my blog bc the thought of being a popular blogger with unknown influence on other people's behavior gave me panic attacks- and am honestly still pretty tempted sometimes- but the amount of TERFs I would have to block and tags I would have to filter is what kept me from doing it. I just stick to Discord for my infodumps now, pretty much.

So yeah, that's what happened. Again, logically I know that it was probably only a few people at most, but bc it was on anon, I couldn't tell. You'll probably be able to find the whole fiasco on my blog somewhere if you look, I didn't delete it because I didn't want to seem like I was trying to cover up how much of an ass I was being. Judge it for yourself as you will.

DK definitely pined for Nayeon for much longer than she knew. He’s a total yearner and had so many fantasies of fingering Nayeon backstage in one of the dark corners during intermission. He’d tease her gently that she’d had to be quiet so nobody would notice. After the show he’d fantasize about fucking her in front of the mirror in her dressing room. - ABCD

[icewindandboringhorror]

I occasionally wish to reach out to old friends/acquaintances I haven't spoken to since high school/some other even earlier time in my life, but I have SOOO little social energy even for required tasks (like making dr phone calls or etc), I never have any leftover for extra ones, and it would be very odd to message someone I haven't spoken to in like 5 years out of the blue but then take 4 entire months to respond back lol.. My natural curiosity with nostalgia/collecting details of the past/etc. (literally if I were born a little earlier I would definitely do scrapbooking or something lol) is very strong, but, alas, not strong enough to beat out the Social Issues Demons apparently

"Hey, Yoon-jae. Do you still like me? Answer me right now. Are you in love with me?"

The passing of objects from character to character worked so well in this pair of episodes. The homework: Joon-hee does it for Yoon-jae, Yoon-jae would have done it twice for Shi-won, Dad does it for Shi-won in the end. The tickets: Yoo-jung to Hak-chan, revealing her crush on Yoon-jae, then giving them to Yoon-jae who can only think selfishly of Shi-won, and Hak-chan reusing the Next tickets to ask Yoo-jung out. The scarf: Yoon-jae giving it Shi-won, Shi-won thoughtlessly giving it to Joon-hee… all of it just tells us so much about the relationships, without needing to spell it out. We know exactly who loves whom, and whose heart is getting ripped out in the process.

I hope this makes sense, BUT.

Fics that "rewrite" canon except introducing a different element in it, whether it be a canon divergent AU thing, a character's POV that's different from canon...

Do you prefer an "actual rewrite" of canon, that is, a lot of scenes from canon retold to the reader with some changes, big or small?

Or do you prefer for the author to skip over the scenes we should already know from canon, unless the differences are really big and important?

i love my friends so much. i feel like yesterday i had a lot of shit going on in my head and i woke up to my friend explaining things in a way that put my mind at ease. i dont feel as anxious anymore because i know i was overthinking. i think my dad said it best when he told me that he thought my wonderful brain of mine just wants to think problems are bigger than they actually are. he is right! im just inexperienced in life and half of the time im scared im doing something wrong but- HEY. i need to be more confident in making mistakes. making mistakes doesn't define me as a person!! i need to stop worrying about doing life right and just live for the sake of living and doing what makes me happy!!!!!!!

[anastacialy]

y'know, i keep making a habit of swinging my bat at hornets nests, but i have to say i'm getting so, so tired of people complaining about shows not making perfect sense when they aren't even close to done. we're four episodes into this season of doctor who. we're four episodes into this season of bridgerton. and yet in both fandoms i keep seeing people whine that such and such didn't make sense or it wasn't explained all the way and by god you guys i think maybe explanations might come later in the season. this is something most viewers will recognize as being called a 'plot.'

[yanderederee]

Heyy guys, no content for a minute.

I’m mildly concussed and I can’t really type what I mean right now. So I’m gonna post som I’ve been wanting to.

Also I know I haven’t really provided any yandere content but i have half a fic written rn— bare w me lmao,,

ANYWAY, what are your guy’s thoughts?
