#that was my high school hyperfixation

[masterhallmark]

Btw you can watch the 1980's Journey to the West series with English Subtitles on YouTube on a couple of channels.

This sparks joy because that's how I watched it in high school (back when very few non-Asian people even knew what it was) and I was worried it might not be available anymore.

griam rambles cus theyre my favorite toxic ship

!TW! manipulation, toxic relationships, death, delusional thinking, depictions of severe trauma and mental illness

(this is based mainly off of the taurtis two arc becuase its so amazingly written)

so we all know grian cannonically has a crush on sam right. I think that in a world where taurtis passed and sam made grian keep up his “role” grian eventually started to justify it, becuase he had to, otherwise hed completely break down. And around that point i think that he started clinging to sam, not only because he had to anymore, but because he had been conditioned to at this point. Sam has genuinely thought he was taurtis for a while, but eventually grian started to think it too, i mean if you are only allowed to act exactly like and mimic what another person does, what really stops you from becoming them? Sam forced grian to act like taurtis to feed his delusions so that he wouldnt be forced to face the reality, and grian became attached to sam for the same reason. They both lied to themselves until they genuinely believed it becuase their brains could not handle the reality. I also headcannon that sam would keep taurtis’s body in their apartment for months, maybe even years, even as he rotted. Anyways theres just some of my thoughts abt these mentally ill little block people

Aight thoughts on todays bbh lore cuz we got A LOT. Just stay with me through my nerding about trees it’ll be worth it XD

We pretty much got 100% confirmation that he is intentionally hurting Baghera and Forever and that he thinks of himself as expendable. What fascinates me the most is when Bad asked Foolish this

“Is there anything wrong with burning the forest to save the trees?”

At first glance you might think YES if u burn the forest then there won’t be any trees??!! However it is a custom on fire risk zones to create controlled fires that burn up brush and dead trees so that the risk of a natural and far more devastating fire is reduced. Additionally, if a fungus infects a forest, burning the infected trees may be the only way to prevent the spread to the rest of the forest.

On top of that, there is a specific type of tree species that requires fires in order to reproduce. These are often Pine trees that drop pinecones. Pinecones hold seeds inside them that only germinate when immense heat is applied to them: the heat of a forest fire. When they are within these temperatures, the seeds germinate and the pine cones pop, scattering the seeds on the forest floor. These trees adapted to form a symbiotic relationship with fire one of if not the most destructive natural forces on the earth.

Do you know one of the trees that has developed this adaption? Redwoods.

Do you know which tree bbh brought up when giving Jaiden a PINECONE gift for her birthday today? A Redwood.

I’m like actually going insane. This can’t be a coincidence right????? I’m not going crazy right???

The whole reason I noticed this scene is because I live near the redwood forests in California and I know all about the way these trees depend on fires for their survival. It’s something that’s always fascinated me. That’s when I assume Bad was going to ask foolish the above question before Jaiden and Teana cut their conversation short while they were talking on the Titian . He literally had these specific trees on his mind when he was going to ask about burning down the forest.

Let me tell you another thing about Redwood trees. They are ancient. They are massive. They are sturdy. Natural fires are a common phenomenon here and a majority of the redwoods survive with barely a scratch, maybe an inch or two of its outer bark scorched. Nothing it won’t grow past in a year or two when these trees easily live for 500+ years.

(Side note, if there is one place in America you should visit it’s the redwood forests of California. It is literally like entering a portal to another world. These trees are 10-15 ft in diameter easily and you can just feel how ancient the forests are. It’s one of my all time favorite places to go)

So, in the situation Bad is proposing, burning the forest to save the trees, he is actively thinking about Redwoods in this hypothetical. Not only trees that are extremely resistant to fire but trees that depend on fire to survive. That completely changes the way he is approaching this question.

In his hypothetical, the forest will burn. The animals will die. The brush and non redwoods will turn to ash. The land will be scarred and the trees themselves may look dead, branchless and black. But. But. A season will pass and new branches will peel through the charcoal. Seeds deep in the soil will surge forth as the soil is fed nutrients from the ash. Animals will return. Pinecones will shed their fertilized seeds to give birth to a new generation of trees. And by next year, the forest will look just as vibrant as it had before the fire. Trees may bear the scars of the flames but life continues and it continues and it continues always.

I might actually be going crazy bbh makes me crazy cc!bbh makes me crazy I’m losing my mind

Punkflower girlies, it seems we're in a bit of a drought

Not to worry, I will keep the tag alive with my shitty thoughts

[yardsards]

it's been a while since i last watched steven universe but. listen. queerplatonic lapidot.

and not as a consolation prize "the crew waited til after the show was over and peridot was half of the fandom's most popular ships to reveal that peridot was aroace so the fandom wants an alternate way to keep shipping them" way

but as its own beautiful thing

like, take the main elements that make peridot and lapis's relationship as a romantic partnership or a friendship so interesting and endearing to so many people... and then add the complications of navigating a non-traditional relationship on top of that

peridot wondering why she doesn't feel attraction like the other gems she's met or like in the shows she loves. but finding so much happiness in this thing she's got going with lapis that she doesn't care that she can't feel romance, because what could be better than this? besides, isn't that the beauty of earth, that she doesn't have to act and feel like all the other gems, that she can just do things her own way?

lapis starts to worry that she's just settling for her relationship with peridot because she's afraid of romance after what happened with jasper, that she'll somehow become unsatisfied with her relationship with peridot after she works past that trauma. but time passes and she works through her trauma and fear of relationships, and those worries never come true and she never finds herself dissatisfied with her relationship with peridot, never finds herself wishing their relationship would turn romantic or wishing to replace peridot with a romantic partner (she may or may not consider getting a romantic partner *in addition to* peridot in the future, but that relationship would never be considered above her and peridot's relationship. and she's happy either way, with or without romance)

idk it's just neat!

finally! ref sheets for both my mcs from pixelberry’s classic games: blair (she/they) from high school story and claribel (she/her) from hollywood u.

pixelberry was awful at tracking/making the timeline clear back then so i set their stories at their third year of high school/university, which would be 2013 for blair and 2014 for claire (so, when the games were released). that's it! (i dont know what else to say)
