Charles Rowland being so chill about Edwin's fanboys
#even taking in in-context elements it still looks a hell lot like jealousy#what's that charles you worried edwin doesn't want to leave here?#big mix of anger/protection/worry all in one#charles rowland#charles x edwin#paynland#payneland#jealous charles rowland#dead boy detectives#only guy we're missing is simon and i doubt he'd be super happy at first about the reason for edwin's death also having a crush on him

#Doodles#Mother 3#Duster#Lucky#Went and reread Lost and Found again <3 The first chapter anyhow it's my favourite#Planning to do a full reread after I actually Pick Mother 3 Back Up agh I've been away so long!#Other things doin' - other things reading and playing#I do want to tho! I'm on a Duster chapter if I remember correctly :D#Still so funny to me how Lost and Found was the impetus of my fic printing project haha#Haven't gotten to it yet that's also fallen off! I want to get into back-and-front printing but for that I need to do formatting#I wonder if there's a program for that actually :0 Seems like there should be! A way to have every first-and-fourth on the same side...#Doing it by hand is a good way to get misprints :P I already have one of my fic prints with a misprinted first/second page!#ANYway lol - Duster! Lucky! He! <3 <3#Got very inspired by the mental image of the ghost of Lucky's history haunting him <3#Those missing pieces! The core of him still there still sweet and gentle but those important elements that make him Duster#Following him overshadowing the happinesses he finds with doubt and anxiety#It's all so lovely <3#So fun to watch him stumble through into things he wants and feeling unsure if he Can#Of course he deserves it he's wonderful ♪

those stills of Agatha in A3 are still burning in my mind... that being said, classics professor [and possible supernatural something, have yet to decide] Agatha Harkness and vampire disaster Wanda Maximoff murder mystery au incoming
#i've been thinking about writing a serious campus novel with vampire elements for years#the only thing so far that's been bothering me is this deadly doubt about Agatha's nature#do i like the idea of her being an ancient vampire telling Wanda how much she sucks? yes#but do i love the idea of her being a walking blood bank? absolutely#a walking blood bank that refuses to accept she is one at that#but i'll come to a decision [i hope]#though i very much need to do justice to Agatha's flair for the dramatic [i.e her dramatic ass]#and Wanda... oh how much fun i'll have with her and the disaster she is as any possible creature#agatha harkness#wanda maximoff#wanda x agatha#agatha all along

adding onto my last rant from a while ago a little bit, it is fascinating how many people in this fandom completely miss the point of tsumugis character and misconstrue what hes actually about which, ironically, is just what eichi did. and its done in such a similar fashion too, such as making assumptions about his motives, his family relationship, and missing the point in why he chooses to look the way he does. and, time and time again, eichi has been proven to be WRONG about tsumugi. he misunderstood him deeply, and now its eichi whos stuck mourning the past while tsumugi has long since moved on, not the other way around, as tsumugi is on the path of getting his happy ending. and i dont get why people keep trying to take this positivity from him
(s. element epilogue 2)
#sorry for harping on this stuff alot it just genuinely sucks seeing a character you love be so widely misunderstood#especially when if you really think about it#tsumugi is about as blunt and honest as they come#you dont always need to read deeper into a character. you dont always need to psychoanalyze every part of them#you dont need to reason everything#sometimes people just Are Some Kind Of Way#and eichi failed to understand that and made the wrong assumption about tsumugi#and i feel like this fandom keeps doing the same thing#because he can do and say unconventional things#and when he makes jokes he sounds super alarming or like an utter freak#its frustrating when people continuously doubt tsumugis words when he speaks so earnestly about his life#hes honest to a fault. he has no reason to lie#you can argue that “ohhh tsumugi just doesnt realize how fucked up he is!” and like Yea sure theres an element of that#but ive always read the point of his character to be him overcoming these hardships#because he cares so fucking deeply about every single person around him#and he never assumes malice. because he is such a genuinely kind hearted guy#and what makes tsumugi so interesting is that he can kind of SUCK at getting that across#because no matter what people never understand his actions or intents because of how weirdly he acts#and neither does this fandom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#natsume and tsumugi are built on being opposites. if natsume is a known liar surely we can put two and two together?#theres alot more that can be said on this topic and ive been meaning to for a while but honestly i just dont have the energy or brainpower#also i dont want this to read like im yucking anyones yum. its just frustrating as someone who is very mentally ill about these characters#he has clearly endured traumas too like im not ignoring that. its super obvious. but his character is about love and growth#you can go through literal HELL and be on the brink of SUICIDE and still end up a happy loving and forgiving person#and i think thats what his character is about#nat rambles#nats enst posting

It is so hard to write Elemental having insecure and vulnerable moments when you remember that he has the absolute best wardrobe out of the RRFF cast.
#how can someone that fabulous have doubts??#you know that 'Margot Robbie is the wrong person to cast if you want to make this point' joke in the Barbie movie?#that's how I feel writing Elemental angst in RRFF#writing rant#elemental steve#rrff!elemental#rrff#rrff steve saga

it does something incomprehensible to my little writer’s soul whenever alex articulates a phenomenon of the writing process i’ve always picked up on and then goes on to describe it in exactly the same way
#when i first heard him say this when i was watching the interview i legit had to pause the video for a moment#because it was like he’d actually taken my words straight out of my mouth#literally for years i’ve been fascinated by the little timeless pocket between dusk and dawn where there’s so much freedom#to explore creativity uninhibited and unobserved and without fear of consequence#the way it allows you to create things almost as if they don’t really exist#or like the rest of the world doesn’t#and the magic of that freedom#like if you create things on the cusp of dreams it’s almost as if they don’t count#they’re liberated from any usual self doubt or self criticism that invades the imaginative space during the daylight#why am i making myself sound like a creative vampire 😭#i’m going to stop rambling in the tags now sorry#i fear absolutely none of this makes sense#kudos to anyone who’s read the whole way through this#the gist of what i’m trying to say is that it’s such a special feeling when someone whose writing you adore and connect to so much#puts into words elements of the process that have always resonated with you#and this is just one example too#right i’m going to stop rambling now#but one last thing before i go#on a more superficial note: can we appreciate how softly spoken and soft fluffy haired he is here?? 🥺#alex turner#humbug era#arctic monkeys#alex vid#lulu posts

As someone who's done it twice, riding in an ambulance when you're completely calm, lucid, and physically unharmed is a weird experience. Like, everybody's pretty chill, but we're also all aware that we're going to the hospital quite urgently and that I would not be allowed to get out of this vehicle if I wanted to. So, you're just making small talk, while also you're the only one lying down and you're being rattled this way and that in the stretcher you're strapped to. Then, you get to the hospital and they roll you out, even though you're fully able to walk on your own, and then they sign a document in a way that you know makes sense, but still absolutely reminds you of someone signing for a package. "Bye, thanks, hope if I ever happen to see you again I'm standing up and not legally required to be wherever we are."
#to be clear i was never four point restrained that i remember#which according to my emt sister might have been them giving me a non-regulation benefit of the doubt#would have added a whole other element of awkwardness if i had been completely strapped down

apologies for yosukeposting and especially incoherently but slowboiling in my brain whatever the hell was going on w him in kanji’s dungeon. guy who slingshots between some kinda fraught observation that this is so much worse for kanji because it’s happening in front of an audience (over like. freaking out about it), furiously asserting that he’s heterosexual, insinuating danger but then also being the one who volunteers to take kanji home afterwards.
It’s sooooooooooooooo.
#I’m naurt.#conveying it well.#but there’s some kinda something about which elements prickle his unease#exposure to the wider community#the topic of sexuality that falls outside of what is normative being introduced AT ALL#but he’s. not scared of kanji. he never has been tbh#I don’t think he would volunteered to take him home and essentially make sure he got there safely if he was#imo it’s more that like. kanji doesn’t reject the shadow’s assertions where yosuke would#and there isn’t a world in his sixteen (?) year old brain where you SHOULDNT do that lmao#if you’re a guy you like girls and you don’t get hugged when you’re sobbing your heart out etc etc#a guy’s a guy and when that doesn’t mean what he thinks it has to mean anymore that’s deeply uncomfortable for him to unpack#it brings to the forefront his own doubts and insecurities#and kanji accepts that in himself where Yosuke can’t I don’t think#doesn’t question a lot of time and builds his identity around it#but he can’t erase the questions people like kanji and naoto raise because like. it’s intimately relevant to HIM lmao#and it’s how he understands a core part of himself#even if that’s built on sand#congrats! you’ve discovered the patriarchal and heteronormative hegemony!#tunes talks persona#I think it goes largely unspoken and deliberately avoided with him but what kanji wrestles w in regards to conciling his sense of identity#to wider society is like. that’s him too lmao

The next IT rotation is pyro/electro/geo.
C13 Noelle, it is time. I've left you unbuilt for too long.
#i could go back to polishing teams to 36* the abyss instead#but IT is much more compelling to me#i doubt i'll be able to max it out for some time either... but once i have a solid base of characters in each element it'll be fine#.txt

I like to think that all of the summons/familiars/pets in BG3 hang out when the party is at camp
#is this so I can spread imp-ghoul-bestie propaganda? yes. yes it is.#look I’m just saying I can perfectly picture zailith’s imp flying by#and it immediately being followed up by six ghouls scurrying around chasing after it#and of course boo/scratch/owl bear are invited to hang out too because friendship#also also the elemental summons who I doubt really interact much but they still get to#because friendship.#doodle#sketch#Baldur’s gate 3#bg3#Baldur’s Gate boo#imp#ghoul#owl bear#bg3 scratch

i need to think abt light yagami being tortured about this
#do u think light would give in after being waterboarded most accounts say that it's so distressing that u'll tell them literally anything#tgey want and i dont rlly think light is likeused to physical suffering he's v hands off and never rlly gets physically hurt badly until he#gets shot and like yeah he managed to oush through yhe pain to run away so he wasnt incapacitated but waterboarding is#different it has psychological elements as well and most of the time ur restrained it'd be like being cornered and i doubt hed like that#but do u think he'd confess to make it stop or try to push through the pain and the fear just so he wouldn't have to confess#then also there's tge question of if there'd be a difference btwn light as kira and light w/o those memories in how they'd react bc light as#kira would at least know he's kira but w/o those memories he'd think he's innocent and that begs the question of if the pain would be enough#or him to falsely confess to being kira or if he'd want to stick to defending his innocence no matter what#bc like yotsuba arc light defends his innocence no matter what shit L gives him and even through all that confinement and the fake execution#but again waterboarding is different u feel like ur going to die and again most ppl are willing to falsely confess to anything to make it#stop. then also do u think light as kira would give up those memories bc of the pain so he wouldn't confess knowing tht hes guilty or do u#think he'd believe that he has a better chance at staying quiet keeping his memories bc he'd know that he would actually be confessing#to a crime he did do#hmmm much to think abt

maximalist demands and a refusal to negotiate are not a winning combination in poltiics, even if the cause is just. the avenues presently open to the cause often fail to reach the actual goal, but the alternative to flawed, inadequate policy is often no policy at all. if you announce that you will not negotiate in good faith (i.e. accepting that you are unlikely to get everything you demand), you won't get to negotiate at all.
#it's unlikely that we would have gotten the 1964 civil rights act if the 1957 act hadn't been passed#the '57 act was a joke substantively speaking. no doubt about it. but it was passed and this is the element that matters#it's not incrementalism it's just the reality of politics

Always wondered this, but when Kiada is eventually told about the entirety of the Ninja’s past once Jay gets his memories back (yes I’m being optimistic about this)
what do you think her favourite season/events would be?
Well, in the hypothetical case that Jay gets his memories back and gets over his "I don't want to talk about anything from my past life" issues, Kaida wouldn't let pass on the fact that they went to space in s3. I mean, Jay wouldn't have much to tell her but out of all the things he did that would probably be the one she'd ask him for stories about the most. Also Prime Empire would be close since she's familiar with the game so hearing that at some point everyone was able to actually go in there would be incredible to her.
It's not in your ask, but she would react badly if she found out about the events of skybound. I mostly think that if Jay gets his memories back he would only tell the "good parts" and skip all that stuff because he himself doesn't want to think about it (whether it's Zane's death or Nya merging with the ocean, he just wouldn't want to bring that up). And in case Kaida finds out about skybound she would simply react badly, don't let her find out because with how impulsive she is, the girl is capable of reviving nadakhan just to get revenge for a timeline that was erased
The ironic part is that in this AU, if they tell Jay several things he did in the previous seasons he would actually feel ashamed. Like he would think of himself like "stupid teenager, why the fuck did you do this. if I remembered this maybe I wouldn't have made a deal with a psycho. Again"
#oh the parallels of jay and kaida making the same mistakes in the blood moon/skybound arc#kaida “we are elemental masters we can do whatever we want” vs jay “a little wish won't hurt”#anyway- Kaida is lucky because she has the dad with the craziest lore to tell her#He himself doubts the veracity of the facts. and he doesn't want to talk about anything he feels unsure of but he's trying.#dad jay au#ninjago au#ninjago dragons rising#ty for the ask!#ninjago jay#jay ninjago#kaida walker
