Cherrycardâs Relationship and Dynamic
âCherrycardâ is the ship name of my oc Rory x Ace, since theyâre my main oc x canon ship I felt like this post was long overdue.Â
Howâd they start?
 -Rory is my Yuu so him and Ace met on Main Street in the beginning of the prologue and obviously, they didnât get along at first.Â
 -During the prologue Rory was silently cursing both him and Deuce for their brash actions that broke the chandelier.Â
 -In Book 1 Rory was even more put off when Ace stumbled to Ramshackleâs front door claiming that he had no where else to stay while his dorm leader was angry at him.Â
 -He let him have the couch but quite frankly he wanted to give him the front porch.Â
 -But then Ace defended him to Riddle, he even punched him for insulting him. He had to have been an idiot to defend a stranger.Â
 -As a thank you, Rory would spend some nights at Heartslabyul if the conditions at Ramshackle caused him to have a health flare up.Â
 -Then came Book 2, the time where everyone grew more competitive. Ace and Rory continued to bicker this entire book.Â
 -Book 3, the turning point for their friendship. This was the first time that Rory truly yelled at Ace and Deuce.Â
 -He blamed them for getting them into a contract and especially for losing Ramshackle.Â
  -Yet Ace didnât react negatively compared to Deuce, he sighed and said that it was about time that Rory told them how he was really feeling.Â
 -To which Rory responded, âYouâre an idiot!â Yet he stayed the night at their dorm room per usual. He didnât immediately go to sleep, he stayed up and thought about what Ace said.Â
 -After Azulâs overblot and Rory got a part time job at Mostro Lounge, Ace would come by sometimes to make sure heâs not overworking.Â
 -Book 4, the beginning of their crushes.Â
 -When winter first began Rory didnât have any thick jackets to wear in the cold weather so he made do with his school blazer that he despised wearing. One day he ran into Ace who was going on a grocery run for Trey and Ace let him borrow his hoodie.Â
 -Afterwards, Rory invited Ace to stargaze with him.Â
 -Rory: Do you like the stars? Ace: Theyâre there. Nothing much. Rory: I see.Â
 -When students left for winter break, Rory noticed that he felt lonely without the presence of his friends. Most especially a certain red head.Â
 -Stuck at Scarabia, Roryâs stress got the best of him and he sent an sos message to Ace and Deuce. When it said it didnât send he decided to push his own anxiety away and focus on taking care of Grim.Â
 -At the party after Jamilâs overblot the last things he expected to see were Ace and Deuce running through the desert towards Scarabia. When they explained what they had to do to get there and how much they panicked when they saw an sos from Rory he didnât know what to say. The duo panicked even more when they saw that Rory wasnât just being quiet.Â
 -He was crying. He didnât think that people would go to such lengths for him.Â
 -Ace tried to awkwardly comfort him while stating âOf course we would help you. Weâre friends idiot.â
 -Friends. Friends.Â
 -As they walked back to the mirror chamber Ace suddenly remembered something and had Rory wait outside of the Heartslabyul mirror while he ran to the dorm to get something. Deuce went ahead home but not without making sure that Grim and Rory would be okay.Â
 -When Ace came back he held out a small box wrapped in wrapping paper. It wasnât the prettiest job but it was charming to Rory.Â
 -He hesitantly took it and began to unwrap it. Ace began rambling about whatever.Â
 -âI chickened out from giving it to you before I left. Obviously I donât have a lot of savings so itâs nothing lavish-if you hate it then thatâs completely fine I know I didnât ask you what you wanted-â
 -Except it was one of the sweetest gifts that Rory couldâve received. It wasnât just one thing in the box, it was multiple.Â
 -A notebook for him to journal in that had what seemed like Twisted Wonderlandâs constellations on the cover, a few different colored pens, and a bookmark that at the end had various beads dangling off of it. The one at the end being in the shape of a heart. The bookmark looked homemade.Â
 -Overcome with everything thatâs happened, Rory pulled Ace into a hug. âThank you.â He mumbled. âYouâre welcome.â Was returned in an equally soft tone.Â
 -When they parted ways, Ace was almost sad that he had to leave again. Whereas Rory didnât feel nearly as alone as before.Â
 -Book 5. When everyone returned from winter break Rory finally gave Ace his gift. A portrait of Ace. The red head was surprised at first, by both the gift and the thought behind it.Â
 -The portrait even included the more subtle details that Ace didnât think much about but apparently Rory thought about them a lot. Such as the faint freckles along his nose and his dimples and his long eyelashes.Â
 -For once, Ace didnât have a teasing remark. Instead his face started to feel really warm.Â
 -It wasnât until AFTER the SDC and that hard loss that Rory finally got the courage to ask Ace a question.Â
 -âWould you like to-â âDo you wanna-â They both paused and went back and forth on who should speak first until they finally shouted âgo on a date together?!âÂ
 -After their date, Ace asked Rory to be his boyfriend and promised him that he would never be the reason he cries again.Â
Fun facts! (They arenât all fun)
 -They are so sitcom coded it is actually sickening.Â
 -Rory was incredibly devastated when he realized he liked Ace. So much that he told Crewel about it, who became equally devastated and disappointed.Â
 -When Roryâs health issues flare up and he just wants to lay in bed or nap, Ace is right next to him. Helping in any small way that he can.Â
 -When Rory finally told Ace about his trauma and what his home world was like, it all clicked to him why Rory had the mannerisms that he did. Following that he took care to be careful with what noises he made or sudden motions.Â
 -Rory does his best to go to every one of Aceâs practices and games, to a lot of the other students surprise heâs one of the loudest in the stands when cheering.Â
 -Ace has a habit of leaning on Rory. Whether theyâre sitting or standing, heâll find a way to lean on him.Â
-Theyâve spent countless nights on the roof of Ramshackle stargazing and talking about anything. From their lives now to the future.
 -Their love languages tend to overlap with Roryâs being quality time, words of affirmation, and acts of service with Aceâs being quality time, physical touch, and gift giving.Â
 -They donât call each other by nicknames very often, mostly when teasing each other or during a sentimental moment. Roryâs go-to is âLoveyâ and Ace has a few he likes to cycle through such as âHoneybunâ, âSugarplumâ, âBabeâ, and âSweetheartâ.
Rory: Do you like the stars?
Ace: Yeah, I like âem because you do. Rory: I see. They remind me of you.

ok I KNOW I'm spam posting at this point and I don't mean to but can we talk about the Ingeniousness of the "Appointing a General" scene and how Ambessa essentially cornered Caitlyn into this role?
Because despite what people are saying, Caitlyn did not skip up there like "Ohh power! Awesome! Gimme!", this is a decision that she was Forced to make (unlike if the role was given to say, Salo, because he was already starting to lift himself up, ready for Ambessa to give him his glory. He Wants power, he Craves it).
And you can see it from the Moment Ambessa calls out her name. The first emotion to appear is shock, clearly she wasn't expecting her name to be brought up. Wide eyed, she can see these families that Have Influence (because that's who Ambessa Specifically told Salo to bring) start to nod in approval, because like Salo said, the Kiramman name bewitches people, that's All it takes to get them to agree. She's taking rapid breaths as Ambessa and the Noxian soldiers start to pound their chests, her eyes are shaking, almost like she's about to have an anxiety attack with having the spotlight thrust upon her in such a way. She looks down, almost as if trying to ground herself.
But then she notices Maddie on her right, pounding her chest as well, smiling up at her. Which in turn, causes her fellow Enforcers to nod and start pounding their chests as well. Everyone Else in the room (with the exception of Salo) Wants this from her, they Expect her to "make the right choice", and it's at that point where saying "no" is no longer an option for her, not with the crisis they're dealing with, But more importantly, not with the Status of her Name. And she looks back up at Ambessa, making eye contact again. That's when she tells Caitlyn to "come, child."
In the way you watch Caitlyn walk up to her, her face is completely numb. she's not walking up there with a smile, her face shows almost no emotion at all. and when Ambessa leans in to swear her mother justice, she simply wears a blank stare, there's no look of anger or determination or anything, I'd say it looks like she's disassociating. what's also interesting is after Ambessa's done speaking and Caitlyn turns back around, there's no sound. the Enforcers and Noxian soldier's are still pounding their chests, you can see it, but you can't hear it, which as someone who disassociates a lot from anxiety is exactly what happens when youâre that overwhelmed. It remains silent as Caitlyn raises out her hand, Ambessa watching in anticipation, before the final sound is Caitlyn hitting her own chest, the wind whistling quietly behind her. but one thing to also bring up is specifically When she turns around, because her face does change, and that's apart of her looking like she's holding herself together that we've seen from her throughout the Entirety of this act. looking like she isn't bothered by this, that she's willing to accept this new responsibility placed on her shoulders. compare that to the look she was Just wearing, that face says more "resigned to my fate", she isn't being given a choice here, not really.
This entire thing is an internal struggle for her. Because yes, she still craves revenge against Jinx, but is THIS really the way she wants to go about it? Because despite what Caitlyn's done herself, she hasn't been thrown an Army and been Expected to lead a War against Zaun, this is entirely new territory that she's walking into. And now, she's no longer allowed to back down.
Ambessa using peer presser to get Caitlyn to do what she wants, what a Genius. and what an ASSHOLE (yes Iâm pissed at Ambessa and canât Wait for Caitlyn to rain hellfire down on her once she realizes what sheâs pulled).
#arcane#arcane season 2#arcane spoilers#caitlyn kiramman#ambessa medarda#peer pressure#appointing a general#sheâs a genius#and Iâm scared for Caitlyn#league of legends#this scene is amazing#and people arenât paying attention to it

We Interrupt This Blog To Show You Something Awesome
Omori has a Lego Ideas set! This awesomeness is brought to you by designer FoodIsScarce.
Under the cut, I'll be showing more images, explaining my thoughts, and give clarifications on how Lego Ideas works for this set. But if you want to skip that, link is here.
Lego Ideas Neighbor's Room and White Space Set Breakdown
To start off, this set has a whopping three components, all of which stand alone.
First, we have Neighbor's room!
The colors are honestly so nice in this mock-up. Lego has a fairly limited palette, but being bright and poppy works really well here.
Compared to the in-game room, it's pretty compact, but that makes sense so it doesn't dominate your shelves. Everything important is there, to outstanding detail. The leaves may ride up higher above the doorframe, but it doesn't break the immersion for me. It all feels like a piece of really nice fanart or even concept art.
The yellow cat is the centerpiece and I am very impressed with it. It isn't as stretched out as the original, though that's affected by the build size, but the shape of the paws, ears and head are spot-on and the face sticker really sells it.
Also, building the set sideways so it's smooth? Genius in my books. Sure, the minifigs won't stick, but all the smooth edges in this make the set stand out from Lego's lineup without seeming like a jarring oddity. Kind of like Omori's world compared to a bunch of other RPGs, really, so it's fitting.
I guess if I have a nitpick it'd be that the leaves are entirely different in vibe due to being all fluffy and rounded instead of the big sharp shapes in the original, but I don't think that's even really a bad thing. Just part of the Lego-ifying process. Also I groan at how I know I will place the cat's eyes wrong. Stickers are the bane of my existence. For Yellow Cat though, I would in theory persist.
Next, we have Mari's picnic blanket!
Gotta be honest, this caught me off guard, even as someone who was keeping track of this project for a while, but this is AWESOME. Colors are nailed, the existing basket and fruit pieces translate so well, and I just want to place all my fave figs on it immediately. I do hope that Mari's square could be subbed out with something with studs to keep her in place, as nothing else seems to be (maybe the basket has a 1 by 2 piece keeping it locked?).
I think it's an excellent choice even if it doesn't appear in either main room because you can plonk it by any other set or the huge pile of loose bricks you haven't gotten around to sorting yet and boom. You've just made a new corner of Headspace!
Last but certainly not least, White Space!
The computer and tissue box I think were really well done. Smooth place also tickles my fancy. I'm not as sold by the suspended light bulb; some white walls that maybe has a claw on the side would have helped sell the room more to me, I think. But it's solid.
And then you get to my favorite part in the room:
Original creator, you have my vote.
What about the minifigs?
This set still has you covered!
In this current iteration it includes six minifigs for your main characters as well as the cat and snake seen in earlier pictures. Everyone except Hero and Mari seem to be those shorter models, which always used to annoy me as a kid cause I couldn't bend the legs, but gets a pass here because remembering that height difference is nice.
The hair is a hot point of contest with the comments and Reddit posts. I'll explain more below, but Lego Ideas has rules about custom molds for new figures, so these were the closest the creator could get. And hey, I think Hero is spot on!
All the outfits and faces are custom prints, which are far easier than custom molds, and I think were done really well! Basil's top might be a bit bright, but otherwise the colors are perfect, and so is all the printing.
I also saw that Mari, Basil and Aubrey all had one extra face, which is rad. Not sure yet if Hero and Kel do too or if it's just the girls (I should assume Omori is just slate-faced as ever).
Just one more note: I love how spoiler-free this set is. You know everything in the first few moments of play. Our community is really bad with spoilers, I admit, so this is perfect for a shelf.
Here's some pics of them in action:
How does Lego Ideas even work? Is my vote worth it?
Short answer: Heck yeah!
Long answer:
Lego Ideas is a really popular program with a lot of new builds all the time, and people put a lot of work into both the models and promoting them just for the off-chance of it becoming a product.
I compiled some questions you might have based on this set specifically, but there's plenty of info yourself if you want to learn more.
How does a set get selected?
Lego Ideas has three intake periods a year for products that get over 10k signatures between the last period and that date. Each intake only has a select few that actually get to that mark; the record number in 2021 according to Wikipedia is 57 in one 2021 intake. It sounds like a lot, but in the site's 10-year run it's had over 135,000 ideas shared, not including a bunch that would have been struck down prior to going live due to breaking rules.
Each set gets 60 days to meet that goal on first launch, then an additional 365 once 100 people have signed on. Getting 1,000 supporters gives you an extra 6 months on top of that, and 5,000 (the halfway mark) another 6 months.
Meeting that 10k mark is non-negotiable for that specific set to receive the expert review through Ideas, though successful ideas that are lower may spark inspiration from their own teams.
Do I need to pledge money?
No! Lego Ideas is not a Kickstarter or crowdfund campaign. Those ask for money as they need a way to produce and distribute the product. Lego handles this on the creator's behalf.
All you need is to make a free Lego account and click the support button. You don't even have to enable email notifications on signup.
Where will I find the set then if it's made?
Anywhere else you find Lego! Even toyshops I go to have a small shelf for Ideas sets. If none of your local retailers have it, it'd be on online storefronts worldwide.
But Omori is a licensed product!
So are most of Lego Ideas' concepts that make it to becoming a set! Out of the 65 sets announced and confirmed for production (or who have already had their run!) just 29 are not tied to an IP.
So Omocat will be involved?
Yes. If the idea gets far enough, Lego would reach out to Omocat and any other copyright holders of Omori to discuss how to proceed. They will also get a say in any tweaks, and likely make a licensing fee off of Lego.
However, due to the Ideas streamline, the set likely won't be sold on Omocat's storefront (and if they are, it'd be because Omocat got a few sets to sell from them; they'll never be exclusive to Omocat's store).
Will the creator get paid?
If it makes it, yes! Lego Ideas people get a 1% cut. It's not much, but for all the work it gets to 10k I think it's earned.
But Omori isn't for kids!
Guess what: Neither are most Ideas! They're packed in black boxes and kept near the architecture and more advanced Technic sets targeted towards adults. Each set also has an age recommendation based both on set difficulty and the IP.
Is Omori even appropriate for Lego as a brand?
Omori is on the list of approved IP for Lego Ideas. This may be reviewed, but I think it will remain appropriate both because the set does not portray any of the concerning content in the game and because of the nature.
Lego says they won't make sets for franchises built around graphic violence, alcohol, or sex. Omori lacks all that. I doubt it would be yanked down based on that.
I don't care about Omori. Why should I support this?
First, why did you make it down here?
And second, look. I get it even as a fan. But if we can get an Omori set even to the review stage, that opens up the door for people to try with all other kinds of indie franchises. Undertale, Oneshot, Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight, whatever you think of!
Lego Ideas is a portal to Lego working with IP that isn't just owned by a mega corporation, and I think that is awesome.
I signed! What else can I do?
Spread the word! Reblog this post, tell your friends about it, repost (with links and credit) to other social media. Every little bit helps on the road to 10k, to catch Lego's attention, or even just to inspire someone else with a set idea they worry is too niche to share.
Cause this isn't just about Omori. It's about supporting the creativity of a dedicated fan who spent a long time working on something clearly inspired by a game held closely. And I am always going to support that.
Thank you for reading this far! If you're a regular, sorry for the break, lol. I will get back to regular posts soon. I just had an exam so am still a bit drained.
LINK IS HERE FOR A SECOND TIME: https://ideas.lego.com/projects/a73aaefc-9bc2-44f8-b106-63d66817fd1a/official_comments#content_nav_tabs

a friend I had for a long time cut contact with me because of behavior I had already stopped, and I was disappointed but understanding. it didn't affect them but they worried about it anyways
a week later they ruined every single relationship I had except for 2 by spreading exaggerations and lies to everyone I know, conveniently failing to mention that I'd already stopped what they were so scared about. when that was brought up all they had to say about it is "would you forgive a murderer?"
would you compare a handful of mistakes that had no material harm to murder??????
now no one will listen when I apologize or try to explain myself because they made me sound like some kind of manipulative mastermind out to ruin people's lives. even people who were on my side before got uncomfortable and nervous about talking to me because everyone else was pressuring them out of it
it could be worse I guess, I'm just upset. me and that friend had practically grown up together and then they do all this, dressing it up in fake sympathy for my own personal situation to make themselves look better. the funny thing is I don't miss them at all. I don't miss any good times. not after what they did. I just hate them now
I want to scream at all these people but I can't even politely ask to talk about things before they just ghost me
That is such a toxic, manipulative and abusive thing to do based on a small conflict that had already been resolved. I'm really sorry that this person chose to target you in this manner, and that people you considered your friends are just taking their word for it. This must be a horrible situation to be in and I'm sending all my love your way.

I love your take on Crowley!
I know that the early, non-Diasomnia stories aren't really your thing, but are you reading the novels at all?
I have been following some of the fan translations and the second book seems intense! Would love to hear what you think about them.
thank you! đđđ I'm not really sure why you think I don't like the earlier arcs though, I love pretty much all the characters and their storis! (I think 5 and 1 are my favorite of the past episodes, though 6 infected me with the Shroud brainrot something fierce.) I just...ESPECIALLY love diasomnia. :') but there is room in my heart for all of these dweebs! like, who among us is not just as ride-or-die for Adeuce as they are for us.
that said, I don't really follow the other adaptations like the manga (aside from a dip-in just to see the new Yuus) or the novels, though I keep meaning to check them out! I do like seeing the differences between the different forms of media, and how certain things get adapted one way or another! but alas, time/a lack of accessibility stands in our way more often than not. :( someday...someday I will have time to consume all of the media...
#art#twisted wonderland#i have been playing this game since the day it came out#and believe me i could not have stuck with it for the past three and a half years if i was not deep into all of these idiots#not to harp on it but i do think it's funny because i actually. really did not like the diasomnias at first.#it was like a month before their cards/personal stories were added and so we knew almost NOTHING about them#the website descriptions basically make everyone sound awful#so i thought they were kind of mean/boring compared to everyone else!#(except maybe lilia but i was mad at him for the two seconds of 'girl? đ' hope i had when they were revealed)#but once their cards came out i fell just as hard for them as i did the rest of this silly game#well. sebek took a little longer. but his ketchup incident converted me.#anyway i have so much sentimentality for episode 1 especially#the prologue was like 'oh this is actually a very silly game! oh there is a plot!'#episode 1 was like 'oh i LIKE these characters and what they're doing with them'#(i think ace punching riddle was the moment i decided i REALLY liked this game) (sorry riddle) (you were being a huge dick though)#also...ink drips. ink drips everywhere.#look when i say this game is laser-focused at me and my tastes specifically i am not kidding

this is a controversial take but i donât really think sexual wincest dynamic would be the same as the dynamics they have with girls. mostly because this interpretation tends to ignore canonical nuances that define sam and deanâs relationship, which includes deanâs extreme possessiveness, samâs willing submissiveness with dean (especially when it comes to physical touch), the fact that dean is the only one with whom sam is able to be physically vulnerable in a way he canât with anybody else, the fact that dean genuinely loves taking care of his little brother. itâs an essential part of their relationship, and it just makes sense for it to be part of their sexual dynamic too
#iâm not trying to say itâs definite canon bc we all have our own interpretations#but i do find it a bit weird that the fandom uses their scenes with girls as proof that dean is sub bottom or that sam is domtop#because samdean is way more complicated than sxual relationships they have with random girls like itâs not just about fucking#dean loves taking care of sam and he also needs to know that sam belongs to him at all times and sam loves being taken care of by dean#itâs something they need from each other and they donât/canât have that with anyone else#plus theyâre canonically each otherâs exceptions. dean might be subby with everyone except for his brother#and sam might be toppy with everyone except dean#also if you wanna compare ruby to dean then you gotta admit that sam let her softdom him <3#wincest#spn

One of the (many) reasons I deeply dislike the "Annie and Finnick's wedding was only a propaganda move that meant absolutely nothing to anyone" take is that is... simply not accurate?
It is often claimed Plutarch had Finnick and Annie intentionally wear Peeta and Katniss' outfits to send some type of message, but that means to completely ignore how it was Katniss herself that offered to give Annie a dress for her wedding:
âwhen Plutarch has a fit over what the bride will wear â I volunteer to take Annie back to my house in 12, where Cinna left a variety of evening clothes in a big storage closet downstairs.â
How Peeta himself also made their wedding cake:
âAs surely as the embroidery stitches in Annieâs gown were done by Cinnaâs hand, the frosted flowers on the cake were done by Peetaâs.â
And to also disregard how everyone else felt and how happy and excited they were to be part of it:
âWhen itâs announced that children are wanted to sing District 4âs wedding song, practically every kid shows up. Thereâs no shortage of volunteers to help make decorations. In the dining hall, people chat excitedly about the event.â
All in all, it means to brush aside how everyone perceived their wedding as simply something good, genuinely so, and nothing linked to a false spectacle:
âMaybe itâs more than the festivities. Maybe itâs that we are all so starved for something good to happen that we want to be part of it.â
#like sure for plutarch and coin it was just a show and an event to exploit#but compared to how absolutely everyone else felt#do those two opinions' even matter?#no one saw this wedding as theatre or a propaganda show except for the two of them#was it an act of rebellion through joy and love and dancing and songs? absolutely#but for annie and finnick and katniss and peeta and the rest of the people from district 13#it was clearly far more than that#anyways that's just me rambling#odesta#finnick x annie#finnick odair#annie cresta#katniss everdeen#peeta mellark#thg#the hunger games#meta

Just to minimize my chances of being genuinely misunderstood OR deliberately misinterpreted, and crucified for something I don't think, How Dare You Say We Piss on the Poor website etc...I'm gonna say this right up top. I absolutely understand why people don't like Thessaly as a character, if anyone does completely unironically stan her as some kind of feminist hero who Did Nothing Wrong uwu, I personally see it as a bit of a red flag. I don't like terfs real or fictional. In a vacuum, I could even completely sympathize and agree with the people who want her cut.
HOWEVER.
It's really something to me to see people clamoring for her to be cut, because she carries and expressed an ugly indefensible prejudice (transphobia) in words towards (1) person. Meanwhile Hob fucking Gadling enacted one of the most violent forms of antiblack racism I can even think of against thousands no, millions of people, the ripple effects of which still affect billions more today. Just a little light idk, profiting off the fucking slave trade and had to be told by someone else that it was bad...and he's a fan favorite.
People are saying Thessally being Dream's love interest reflects badly on him or is somehow endorsement by the narrative (?!?!?!?!?!? Didn't she (SPOILER ALERT AS IF IT MATTERS BY NOW) help participate in his extended assisted suicide? She's not painted as a great person to me just another character what are y'all SMOKING whatever fine. It's fine this is fine.) But shipping Dream with Mr. Former Slaver is not only not verboten or frowned on widely in the fandom but its THEE most popular pairing by far. So...why the difference?
Like where are the same fans who are saying Thessaly shouldn't just be more clearly shown to be wrong, she shouldn't even be in the show at all when it comes to Hobert's crimes??? Yes, transphobia is indefensible. Isn't racism?
And I hear the cries of "it's fiction!!!" Already rallying (if anyone who needs to hear this even sees it lol) to which I say:
HORSESHIT. I KNOW you don't, deep down, really agree because if you did, why get upset about Thessaly being included??? Why does what she said to one person matter if it's Just Fiction You Guyze. Fictional characters are allowed to do bad things and fiction isn't reality sweaty....except when you only apply that standard to fictional racists you like and simp for, but fictional transphobes you don't are SO HARMFUL they shouldn't even be portrayed in fiction.
Like. Give me a big fat BREAK. This looks like bullshit, no? I'm sorry, but I'd love for someone to try and give any other explanation besides one personally offended you or hit home for you, and the other doesn't.
And if that bothers you or you feel like it says something negative about you...idk what you want me to say??? You can't control how other people perceive you and that's how people outside this majority-of-the-fandom bubble see it. You don't need to respond, I just wish and genuinely hope this gives you a moment to think about why fans who ARE bothered by both (and not just paying lip service to being bothered by the one but railing against the other) are so frustrated with people saying everyone is welcome but in practice only bending over backwards for the comfort and emotions of themselves, and people they can easily relate to.
You don't have to like Thessaly (I don't. I find her an interesting antagonist, I don't stan her. And frankly imo likability is not. the point of her character) but you'll pardon me for feeling more than a bit cynical and side eying people's motivations for what seems a...pretty obvious double standard, on what fictional crimes related to real world issues matter to y'all, and which clearly don't. Either actually bring the same energy to the table for fictional people who committed atrocities, even if against a group you're not part of and thus don't feel the need to empathize with, or just carry on, but accept that you don't have the SLIGHTEST room to talk about cutting characters who do immoral things. And you also need to accept that you look like a hypocrite when you do.
#thessaly#wanda the sandman#hob gadling#fandom racism#I could've cried sexism!!! Problematic Male vs Female Characters except 1) I don't actually think that's the main reason *here*#2) there are WAY better examples of that particular double standard in this fandom#also i can admit when I'm a bit of a hypocrite or was.#i used to dip my toes into the dreamling stuff too early on#but idk. It just got too sour seeing ppl whitewash (lol I know I'm a comedian)#what he did over and over. And I genuinely had started to wonder#if the show hadn't included that particular crime and I'd just imagined it from the comics because#my memory is shit sometimes and I guess I was naive. I *wanted* to believe someone would talk aboutit#if it had made it in. but ultimately i went back and checked and no#and seeing how the whole fandom behaving affected my non-white mutuals some of whom...#like these are my friends man or ppl I just respect and I can't just. Ignore their feelings and their pov#and act like they werent making points or it doesn't matter#like it's all just fun and games for everyone on the same terms. And seeing how easy it was#for everyone to ignore was so unsettling. I couldn't keep pretending it was just fiction and didn't affect anyone real#Call me a bully a t3rf apologist (fuck you and for the record. no)#a puritan or a Fancop (actually stop comparing#people disagreeing with you online to what cops do. For fucks sake you just make it look like nothing is really real to you outside fandom)#whatever man. Whatever helps you sleep. I'm just gonna block you#if you're clearly sticking your fingers in your ears. engaging with you is a waste of time and energy then#Hell I have sympathy for anyone who doesn't like thessaly#especially trans fans. Especially rn. But lbr that sympathy for a lot of the white trans/queer fans only goes one way!!!#never gets extended to anyone else's issues. Like THATSthe issue. And it's shitty!#(sorry this post is not about me in the confessional lol that's why I put this at the bottom#I just had feelings to get out and yes its my blog but i didn't want to clog the airways)

oh my god cazadorâs legendary action is NASTY iâm never actually attempting true honor mode because i could not possibly survive this in one try
#iâve died twiceâŚ. finally broke my streak of never having to retry a battle more than once#iâm going to bedâŚ. also have to drive halfway across the country tomorrow so idk when iâll have free time to play some more#i need to keep a cazador death tally#no one stands a chance against the monk except cazador with his stupid legendary action#itâs horrible because my monk always has the highest initiative but they donât do well taking damage. so i canât get up close to cazador#to punch him to death#if karlach was able to go before cazador it would be so much easier. because she can take a big hit#every single time iâve failed the cazador fight karlach has always been the last one standing for several rounds after everyone else has#died and cazador has ascended because sheâs just unkillable. and i have to slowly and painfully watch her die#AUGHâŚ.#missing my wild magic sorcerer bc he just wild magic-ified cazador into a sheep which prevented him from doing his stupid ritual#my next strategy will be relying heavily on dimension door#no one give me tips i have to figure this shit out myself#iâm enjoying myself greatly i love when strategy games make me want to tear my face off#i still canât get over how absurdly easy orinâs fight was with my monk. compared to cazadorâs insane shit#waaaughâŚ#yeehaws#bg3

ill never be good enough at anything
#vent#events of today only proved it#im genuinely so close to giving up completely#i dont feel happy when I draw because I know its not good enough and im ashamed when others see it because I know they think the same thing#I dont feel satisfied or accomplished when finishing schoolwork because I know others will have done it better and responded better and im#the stupidest person of the entire class. some things I just dont understand but I know everyone else or lots of others did#i cant do anything right. i cant socialize correctly. i cant remember to do anything. i cant keep any stable relationships#i know if i get a job they'll ly me off or fire me within days max weeks. i dont expect to be able to hold down a job for long#i dont have the skills necessary to become what I want to be which is a meteorologist. i struggle in math and that career is a lot of math#i actually want to be an artist too but ill die a lonely death. i cant even do this class. and artists are not paid enough to survive#hell what I do right now with art in my spare time is much worse than others. a mouse and microsoft paint. both arent good enough#i cant not compare myself to others. i know that they're all better than me. and im around these people every day and see it on social medi#i really want to put my art in our shredder and permanently delete files. i want to drop out. i dont know what to do with myself because i#know that im not good enough for anything except lay in bed like the depressed piece of shit i am and end up getting kicked out#i thought about just leaving class today and throwing myself down the stairwell from the top floor i was already on#just over the barrier thats right next to the first flight of stairs that prevents people from falling off the stairs from a height#the one you can look down and see the following flight of stairs. just throw myself down from that and hurt myself significantly.#ive been thinking about jumping again. from a new part of campus thats higher than where i initially wanted to fall from#if not those then sl!t my wrist or run into traffic#i just need to d!e. There's no room for someone as worthless as me#i cried when I came home today because im just done. i cant carry on and itd be better if i didnt. itd be preferred.

Did Lu Woh choose an Erune form because he likes cats?
Maybe!!! We can't know for sure. But considering he's so serious and focused with what he's doing it's interesting that he still picked Erune over human as a mortal form.
so he must be liking cats. I have to believe.
tho tbh i was joking a bit but the more i think about it, the more i think Granblue may be setting him up on that part -- because like... The Many Lives of Cats and Dante's whole approach to Cat and Life is something that Granblue really love and believe in, that life is worth living once you remember your own freedom the way cats do. Considering Lu Woh is the guardian of life and the fact Granblue is setting up "Cats know how to live the good life" i think Granblue has an agenda for Lu Woh in the end.
and i swear i'm not even fully joking!!! i believe!!!
who knows...
#like i think one aspect of Lu Woh as an Erune is that compared to the rest of his group#he's the one who looks the most like the form he picked#(compared to Tall Draph Lady or whatever the fuck Galleon has going on)#but in the end he doesn't commit to the fashion because since he's not a real Erune#he doesn't know/understand that the back being uncovered is because Erune are heavily uncomfortable otherwise#like sure they can cover their back but it's like having a scarf tied a little too tight around your neck#it's doable but not comfortable.#Lu Woh is perfect as an Erune -- except that he doesn't grasp this one thing lots of Erune have going for them#so i think it's mostly the one way to show Lu Woh 'do something wrong' with his skydweller design#the way everyone else is doing somthing wrong#but yeah now i want him to like cats.#ichareply#ichafantalks gbf#anonymous

You ever just see the worst lovesquare takes and you know itâs not worth it to get involved and itâs not like itâs even salt but man we have been watching totally different shows
#sometimes I just want to grab them by the shoulders and shake like please omg have you not been paying attention at all???!?!#anyways Marinette is in no way oblivious to Adrien trying to confess to her#and Adrien did not even have the chance to reject her because she never actually ever got to a confession!#you can also see several examples throughout the show that he may actually have considered her a romantic#option if he didnât think she was already involved with Luka#also also OMG THE LOVESQUARE HASNâT REVERSED! theyâre both just pushing down their feelings for their original crushes because of trama!#not that they donât actually love the other side of the other#they do#itâs just Marinette has given up on Adrien because sheâs scared of making another mistake and Adrien has given up on Ladybug#because heâs scared of being hurt again be another rejection#Marinette has always had some feelings for Chat but was more focused on Adrien and then Chat was too dangerous an option and now suddenly#Adrien is the too dangerous option and Chat is back on the table for enthusiastic consideration#Adrien has also felt something for Marinette for a while but has continually chosen to believe and respect her words to him which have#told him that sheâs not interested or is involved with someone else#he also had his fantasy with Ladybug to keep him going so he wasnât really putting all his happiness and hopes and dreams#eggs in the Marinette basket#and then basically everyone was emotionally ripped away from him in season 4 except Marinette and oh look sheâs no longer dating Luka either#I also feel itâs a really bad reading to say they are equal and opposite in their relationships with each others other halfâs#theyâre really not and itâs not really fair to the story to compare them that way#I feel like Iâm just rehashing old arguments at this point#blehgh#ml#monâs chatter

wish i had the type of depression where you party and do drugs and look sad in cinematic settings rather than the one where i never leave the house barely shower and lose any remnants of a personality ive left
#also thinking abt that post about how you live your life the way you spend your time#and all i do is be in bed and think abt how much i hate myself#and ig i just wish i were anyone else huh#either someone who smart or interesting or at least desirable#and instead im just really anoying and pathetic and not in a way thatd make ppl think im cool if i were a character#just weird and sad and too depressed to do anything#but at the same time it just feels like an excuse#bc everyone around is mentally ill too but they somehow manage school adn work and relationships and hobbies#and all i do is cry and have my best friend tell me she doesnt have the time to see me#which ik is true but at some point it just feels pathetic to ask again knowing she'll say shes busy#so its being surrounded by ppl who constantly talk abt mental illness and trauma and still feeling like the odd one out like ig i dont have#a good reason to be like this#im just lazy and i dont have much to offer#and im off of any social media except this and ig youtube but i just watch sims and jacob geller there#so i minimized ppl to compare myself to#but it still hurts that im at this age when i should be going out and partying and dating and being incapable of it#sorry if youre reading this btw
