#that made grammatical sense

Okay, so, idea that I've had for a while now, but never brought up, because it wasn't. Relevant to anything. And it's still not relevant to anything in particular but now's as good a time as ever.

Cassie genuinely loved her wife.

We know that before the Fall, Cassie was in an unhappy marriage with a woman "who never liked" them. And I think many of us assume that Cassie disliked her back, based on the way she describes their old life, including her marriage - which they hated.

But, what if, rather than a mutual hatred, it was an unrequited love? Cassie describes her old job as dull, coworkers as "vermin", and tells us that her only reason for working there was to provide for her wife. A wife who responded coldly and unlovingly to their attempts to care for and dote on her. And that hurt. To have someone you genuinely love, and should love you back, to try, and toil, and suffer just to get her to look at you. And it's all worth nothing.

She's scared to have that same kind of intimacy again. The last time she opened herself up to love, she got nothing back. Maybe that'll happen again. Maybe that kind of connection just can't work out for her. Maybe she's unlovable as she is. She wants that connection, they desperately want someone to love in the same way that they once did. But they don't associate that form of connection with love. She associates it with pain. So she deliberately tries to avoid the kind of intimacy that they so desperately crave.

Um. Also. I think of the line "to place me on a pedestal and set to see me right" as Cassie's way of getting that attention and devotion she needed and never got in their previous marriage.

do u think arthur started all this self-sacrificial trying-to-run-off-on-his-own shit recently or has he always had a hero complex

[shades-potions-n-baseball]

hey so uh

this guy (dr jekyll from the glass scientists) is how I picture mother in my head

[donkeys-waffles]

The new leaks are just so interesting!!! I kinda like how he did their backstories, it makes sense for All for One to be the way he is... I don't believe he was just born evil, since we've seen that he is capable of some sort of love or care, example being his reaction to his brother's death.

I think the reason he seems so dark, and evil is because that's how you survived back then. I always thought the fall of society was when the two were teenagers, maybe even adults. But the idea that they were born into a society in shambles without parental love or guidance, makes sense why the bastard man was a feral child coveting the feeling of unconditional love, killing the glowing baby because he, from what I can gather, was the only truly accepted one by society while the rest were seen as monsters needing extermination. He had to fend for himself, he had to teach himself to read and speak normally, he never had a parent tell him no. And in a time like that, I'm sure people weren't keen on being kind and gentle towards each other, I believe at best they were ignored because they were children. But no one picked them up or treated them gently out of fear they may possess meta-abilities, it was almost a 'kill or be killed' mentality. He reacts like a normal child in a situation with no guidance at all.... He acts feral because that's how the adults around him have taught him to react. He's still not a good person for a multitude of reasons. But ugh, I am just so curious about how he became the person he is now, from a small feral child to a calculating, manipulative adult. He knows how to twist and turn people to his whims.

The spoilers also show a little bit of his possessiveness, he views things he loves as possessions.... Which isn't shocking.... I've heard a lot of people mention this debunking the DFO theory... First off, how? If you observe the details of the chapter, you can easily deduce that AFO cares for Yoichi. He kicks him, but I really think that's just a result of having no parental figure, if you think about it. Children often hit other children when they feel strong negative emotions, they start off with little to no emotional regulation or intelligence, because they're children. That's what good parents are for, we don't just adopt moral codes on our own. It's our parents and society in general that teaches what's appropriate and inappropriate. And we obviously know that AFO and Yoichi didn't have a parental figure, or at least a stable one (if they were picked up along the way after their mothers' death.) The only thing teaching these children, particularly AFO, how to act is what's going on in society. What the adults around them are doing, and we can obviously tell there's a lot of mistrust, judgement, and violence being exhibited. Baby AFO is bound to catch on and adapt to survive... Our natural instincts are to survive, which explain why baby AFO was sucking his mother's breast, which is very normal, considering its our natural instincts to survive. Some people are saying that he was born evil because of this... No, it's a newborn, a fucking newborn trying to survive. Which during those early ages, that's all we really think of is our pleasure complex and survival instinct. Mother's normally feed their children within the first hour of childbirth, that's what's recommended from the American Academy of Pediatrics, so instinctually it makes sense for the baby to try to find that nutrients on its own if it's not provided.

Three sentence meme: Tahnorra + Arranged Marriage AU 💍🌊

Heart heavy with the weight of all the lifetimes, journeys, and Promises of those who came before her—and how could they do this to her, how could they have made this Promise for her, some 200 years ago—Korra of the Southern Islands, the Avatar, the rescuer, stood at the altar on the beach amidst the gilded glow of the sunset and dipped her hands into the sacred basin, touching her forehead, heart, and then his hands, binding this once-waterbender to her—in this lifetime.

Tahno, the once-arrogant and once-selfish soldier from the Eastern Swamp Islands whose power—whose spirit?—was stolen from him, met her gaze with dull gray eyes, as if he were begging her, one last time, You don’t have to do this—I am no longer what I was and you don’t deserve the burden of dealing with what’s left of me; curse the Ancient Promise and what the Elders think it means; you owe us nothing.

Even when he had controlled water, he had never understood it, and he had never fully understood the lengths to which she would go to fulfill her duty, but he wouldn’t be allowed to underestimate her any longer; he would watch as she restored balance to the world and to the spirit realm, as she returned his bending, and—if he had any respect for her at all, for their tribes, for their islands, for himself—he would spend every day of the rest of their lifetimes ensuring that he was worthy of her strength, her Promise Kept, her compassion, her sacrifice.

the original badly translated shirt didn't even end up saying 'black lives matter'

it actually said something more like. where you live is made of blue stuff.

if i were the sort of person to be able to organize a fandom event thing, I'd love to organize a week dedicated to appreciating the women of trigun.

i feel like the women in trigun are underappreciated, despite being just as interesting and compelling and important as any of the men.

and im not gonna say its misogyny or that you have to like the women characters as much as the men ones, but i do think many people would find they enjoy the dynamics and characterizations and whatnot of the women characters as much as the men ones if they were brought more to their attention.

I'm going to do something that I don't like, but I feel the need to do it because this last month I have seen at least one post a day of hate, mockery or criticism towards the ship and its fans here on the tag and I'm getting tired of seeing that.

People who have nothing better to do than come to bother the Zosan tag, READ THIS:

■We do not care about your negative opinion about the ship

■We don't care about your criticism of the fanarts or fanfictions if it is not constructive criticism.

■We don't care what you think about the ship and its shippers.

---

¿Do you think Zosan is boring? We do not care

¿Do you think that Zosan is the gay ship for straight people? We don't care. [For god sake this is ridiculous and offensive, I'm an ace/bi person who enjoys the dynamics of these characters, but now my ship is for fucking straights lmao]

¿Do you think it's a toxic ship? We do not care

¿Do you think we are wrong because we like this "ship that doesn't make sense" and not another ship like Z*lu, S*nUs*pp or any other ship? We do not care

¿Does it bother you that Zosan is more popular and do you think other ships deserve to be more popular than them? [another ridiculous thing] WE DON'T CARE

I promise we don't give a shit what you have to say about us or Zosan

Stop thinking that your opinions are important, because SURPRISE they are not, so if you want to give your opinion so much, do it on your own blog and don't add the ship tags in your post, because we just want to enjoy the content that other Zosan fans share in the tag. We don't want to read whatever you have to say about the ship, especially if your post starts with "It's not hate against Zosan or its shippers but... ." stop and read what you wrote! If you already start like this you know very well that it is either going to bother us or make us feel bad for shipping TWO DAMN PIXELS

¿Seriously, why is it so difficult to ship and let ship?

¿Are you so self-centered that you think everyone should read WHY YOU DON'T LIKE ZOSAN OR X SHIP?

...And the worst thing is that it is not a problematic or disgusting ship [and believe me, this fandom has many of those disgusting ships that make me sick] but you prefer to ignore those ships and come to bother us. It's fucking unfair and annoying, because we're not hurting anyone, we're just enjoying shipping these two characters.

That's what I had to say, but since I know that you will still continue with those posts, I have no choice but to block them as I have done this last month

Val came home drunk after the night out with Tina and Verda, falling into Nate's arms with a giggle before unleashing the worst pun of her life onto him

Val: So since becoming vampires, I guess none of you need aids such as glasses or so

Nate: Yes, that would be correct, why?

Val: So that's why you can "see well"?

My take on translating Belaf’s Lullaby. Original Japanese text posted earlier today to Tsukushi's twitter here. At the time of my writing this, early this afternoon in the hours after he posted it, the only translations available were machine-based, and even with my poor language skills I could see some things were being unfavorably, un-lyrically chopped up by autotranslate, so I put this together for friends.

For my notes on a few potentially quirky choices as well as some limited analysis on the song itself (warning: rambling. but i could ramble a lot more about this), please see the comments section on this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HJi6GNl2T2-9V44ue5mRIqhEGKevoPMvw-dWjqALO28/ Commenting is enabled if anyone has constructive criticism.

[eebie]

if somebody doesn’t make a four part analysis on why post apocalyptic environments are the best shit and allow for some of the most heartfelt and beautiful storytelling ever im gonna scream. and then step the fuck up

[o-vera-nalyzing]

people’s reaction to kamala’s ‘you think you just fell out of a coconut tree’ quote is actually insane. like the comprehension of the english language is not what it should be and i’m being 100% serious. and even if it was initially confusing, what she said directly after should have cleared it up but it just made people more confused. like i can’t listen to people talk about it as if she’s the one that’s stupid when it’s like babe just cause u don’t understand doesn’t mean it doesn’t make sense. you just don’t have a high enough listening comprehension to get it. and that’s worrying

Month 11, day 2

Update to the new!Echt cloak from yesterday :) Thickened up the emblem and added some texture to it, and also added a strip of purple to the hood on the back view. It's supposed to show where the fabric is turning inside out, but mostly it's there to provide a visual break between the hood and the main body of the cloak. I really like how it turned out!

[wispurring-moss]

*is* the gd gorgeous animatic i'm seeing in my head actually way too far above my skill level? probably definitely. does that mean i'm not still gonna try my damnedest to get it as close as i'm physically able to? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!
