#the facade is failing

people talk about being confused as to why white women vote the way they do and there's the obvious answer of being white comes first and how they believe their party will have their back and it's framed as white women not being aware of this party's intention and things like that but like. I can tell you very well that there are white women that are aware of their secondary status to white men, and at the same time an elevated status over everyone else - and they love that. some of them are taught that's the natural order of things but at the end of the day there are some that are very aware of this system and I don't believe in taking that agency or responsibility away from them.
there's a lot of white women that hate being in any kind of non-white group or setting because they get checked for their privilege and behaviors, they would rather be a second class citizen within their own race and privileges then deal with having their ego checked and them being brought down to an equal level of the non-white people around them.
#and yes. some of them would rather be reduced to property than share space with a black or brown person#and this is also why you see that 'I'm just a girl' movement mostly from! you guessed it. white women#when all else fails they retreat into this helpless fragile facade that comes with what is expected of being a white woman

for the life of me i cannot figure out why people are so desperate to apply a version of dean's facade to sam
#like... as someone with autism‚ wrt autism masks‚ they aren't black and white between what's presented vs what we feel...#not even dean's facade works like that. where is idea that what sam expressed isn't what he feels coming from?#like we get canonical evidence or exploration for what he feels in his actions very often in canon so??#and his emotional compartmentalising is very often presented in situations that are different from‚ say‚ his code switching#why are you so desperate to erase his canonical character exploration? like having headcanons in which what he feels and expresses#or what his actions are aren't what he feels at all kind of renders everything about him useless?#do you just have this hc to have the room to make stuff up about him? or what#the 'when the “loveable rogue” act Dean played didn't work out' line is crazy#because it's made me realise that this headcanon isn't about sam at all in a way that i cannot quite put my finger on#anyway the ways in which sam goes about attempting to be normal are explored in canon...#it isn't in terms of 'trying to mimic human behaviour' (please dissect why you think about him like this I BEGGGG)#it's canonically in terms of the hunting vs nuclear dichotomy. he doesn't want to to beat uo his bullies because kids his age#shouldn't have the skills he does !!!! he doesn't want to kill his first kiss because kids his age GET to have their first kiss#and not kill them. and this is interesting to me actually#his monstrosity hinders his idea of his normalcy and the hunting dichotomy of innocent vs monstrous is the structure#within which he both crosses that boundary to achieve normalcy but it's also why he cannot achieve it#the idea of its innateness that dean applied should he decide to do so. i feel like that's where this is working from#because it is just so strange that you attribute a facade with no canonical standing within a hc#to the monstrous boy as 'pretending to be normal' rather than trying and failing#while also stripping dean of his facade entirety to get to what you perceive as his entirely gooey insides within the same post#ludere

If there's a forest around Nightmare's castle, it should most definitely be completely dead and ashen. The leaves (if there are any left on the trees) either carry a complete grey or dull dark blue tone to them and the tree barks also resemble more dark blue or just straight up black and it's completely silent...... the kind where you know for a Fact there is absolutely nothing and it's more scary that you're completely alone and No One will find you if you get lost
#text#Even better if it's located directly in Dreamtale#it's just far enough from the old barren tree and the dead villagers#But that also wouldn't really matter because the forest has grown over everything and Nimh has taken back what is rightfully hers#even beyond her “early” grave#plus Dreamtale's forest is practically infinite (another reason also why you wouldn't wanna get lost in it) with trees just large and#coiled tight enough that even without the leaves you just Won't Know where the castle is if you're not native or lived there for a while#nightmares castle/manor/home (whichever you prefer) can also change facades... likely because it's made of negative energy and forest#I guess that's a plus there xd it may fail to be tangible at some spots due to its nature but it can also grow and shrink in size in#every way!! x)#OKAY IM YAPPJNG OVER#dreamtale#nightmare sans#nightmare!sans#utmv#Undertale au#I should write my fic and not drop every thought here instead 🙏

Chat its so over for me
#couldnt help myself but click on a little yt video#I swear I'm gonna not do it anymore and just watch the whole show#I'm now emotionally invested in the robot trying and failing to put on a convincing facade#I'm also fucking enamoured with the actors ability to look so viscerally uncomfortable#the subtleteys of the facial acting alone sends me into a frenzy I wish to capture that in comics#shy talks#not art#Murderbot 2025#Youtube

I’m trying so hard to articulate how entranced i am by his more volatile behavior. Like something something a mask of calm he tries so hard to keep in place over a sea of roiling volatile emotions that are so close to the surface and that always manage to break free despite his desperate attempts at control because at the end of the day he’s still just an incredibly emotional boy obsessed with love and respect and constantly denied them no matter what he does something something
#god I love when men are just kinda nuts#like yes baby destroy your tent in a fit of rage#like he’s so unstable even though he tries so hard to be functional#it’s just such a genuine attempt at a stable facade that so genuinely fails him#rc mehmed#rc#romance club#dals#dracula a love story

[ @themultiversebundle || DM'd to plot!]
It had been a relatively normal day..as normal as things got, now that Yagi and Fin had somewhat(?) befriended a strange Quirk-holder kid who went by 'Cody'. It had been maybe a week since the teen had started crashing in an empty dorm in the faculty's dorm building, and the two were out and about. They had gone to buy groceries since their supplies were getting low, and it was such a bright, peaceful day...
Until an explosion rang out from a nearby street. Almost on instinct, the two were rushing over- Fin with a hand on their hidden pocket knife, and Yagi on his own recently-acquired pocket knife (he may have been retired, but Hell if he'd go down without a fight). The two paused, however, as they came across the street in question... And the child currently going haywire.
"We needa calm that kid down...!" Before more damage was done. The duo let go of their handles,- Yagi rushing to knock a civilian out of the way before he could get crushed by a light pole, while Fin shot forward- hands latching onto two youths that were standing stock-still, staring at the scene.
"Y'gotta move, kids!"
#themultiversebundle#Through many battles/I have been tested/I’ve never failed/Never have been bested || Toshinori Yagi#Can’t drag me under/Too long I’ve been on the run || Finley Well#When you’re close to breakin’/Let me be your haven tonight || Cracked Facades#But I’m still on a mission/And I can’t let nobody stop me now || Thread Start#I won’t compromise/You must be out of your mind || Closed Starter#//TOSSES-#//I will take 'violently concerned child' for $500-

the way Johnny Bravo is known as this like, symbol of confidence, where even though he's got his flaws people can at LEAST say he's got confidence in himself as his saving grace, but meanwhile to ME he very much does not give that at all. he PRETENDS to be confident, and maybe he even believes it himself, but he truly is NOT!!! this dude definitely has some form of depression and possibly even anxiety and a whooole lot of insecurities that he simply does NOT want to think about or confront
#out of character (ooc)#like i see some fans that are like “well yeah hes an egghead but at least hes confident right”#and im just like NOOO!!! YOU DONT GET IT!!! YOU DONT GET IIIT!!!#THE FACT THAT HE PUTS ON THIS CONFIDENT FACADE IS A HUGE PART OF WHY HE FAILS WITH WOMEN IN THE FIRST PLACEEEE#i could go on a whole rant abt why i think he definitely has depression#anxiety might be more arguable honestly BUT DEPRESSION I AM 100% CERTAIN OF#but dude just shoves that into the back of his brain like “yep ok time to never think about that ever haha”

i fear i may have to write a horrible ending where gortash does anything he can to get rue's memories back
rue, exhausted from her sleep being plagued with night terrors from her past, hating the taste of noblestalk now, stuck in a room with no windows and the only person she properly gets to see is gortash... thats enough to drive anyone to the brink of madness
rue "just let me die" lastname vs enver "you wouldnt say that - try it again" gortash
i think its gone past him wanting her memories back and has dipped into him molding her into what he wants. thats a fun concept. whats better than having a bhaalspawn willingly at your side? when you leash it up and let it become the weapon you desire, of course!
theres no good ending that involves them both!!!!! not at all!!!!
#durgetash#thinking more and more about the Horrible-ness that is gortash#pre-game its muted but i think having lost everything - why bother putting on a facade?#his anger is through control and the one thing he doesnt have control of anymore is his old friend#who IS a liability. especially if the gang fail & he gets control of the brain yknow?#just thinking...#i need to dive into him being fucked up more. this may be an excuse to do so

@ava-likes-fanart hi! i'm responding to your comment here so that i can add an image from the manga (can't do that in the replies of a tumblr post T_T)
so actually, madara wasn't expecting rin to kill herself on kakashi's hand- or for her to kill herself at all! that was just a really fun bonus :3
(source: manga chapter 675)
he was intending to kill her, yeah, but he wasn't expecting her to be that fucked up! he thought she was just some girl and then she went and surpassed his expectations in the obito-trauma-department!!! this is because she is insane.
rin dragging kakashi + obito into noble suicide tm can be interpreted lots of ways because to begin with naruto the series is really weird about martyrdom and stuff. and every rin appearance in war arc has to be taken with a hefty dose of "is that really rin or are kakashi + obito just like. hallucinating."
anyways, attributing all of the messed-up stuff rin does/is to a seal or madara... isn't really what i was going for when i wrote these posts. it's fine if you see it that way! imo, it's just more interesting to give rin agency and let her be responsible for her own fucked-up-ness. i really think that she's just kind of like that, both innately and in response to the world she lives in- just like every other character.
#to me the secret to creating a good nohara rin... is letting her be stuff for no reason. if you catch my drift.#no one's actions + personality are the result of one event. no one is perfectly good or kind.#examining the moments in canon where rin fails to keep up her facade of a perfect girl and expanding on them#as results of her own flaws rather than any outside forces “making” her weird or bad or evil#is always going to be the best way to create a three-dimensional character.

Here's me, running around Dewlight Pavilion and Clock Studios Theme Park, of course as Dr. Ratio, idly retracing our steps leading to Aventurine's grand stage while feeling a bit lost.

Dr. Ratio himself would never. He'd probably berate me for wasting time and not solving my problems 😅🥺😭 If I were a gambling fellow (😭 too soon), and I were betting on one thing (all or nothing? AUGH 😭), it would be that Dr. Ratio is out there right now researching something. Either how to retrieve someone from the other side, or how to get himself sent there, or the answers to the Watchmaker's legacy and all the hinted mysteries (so that the journey is no longer needed).
I have a feeling, though, that Nihility's path is closed to him. He's too filled-with-purpose. It shines out of everything he does, so bright one can hardly bear to look at him. (Maybe that's why he wears the head? Like Zeus in disguise - to save mortals from blinding themselves by gazing upon him? I'm rambling.) He's all, even a life marked by failure is a life worth living, and then he runs about saving planets and curing diseases, and even saving random researchers on a space station whose own master couldn't be bothered to care for them. There isn't a shred of Nihility in him.
So he won't be able to corner Acheron and ask her to send him there. He'll have to walk some other path. I just want to see what.
#the truth is#I want to see him fail when it matters#Come up against a problem he can't solve#pound his fists and rage at the sky#i want him in despair#I want to break him#and see what emotions leak out from beneath the shattered stoic facade#I want to watch him watching helplessly as Aven's heart slowly stops beating#He can marshal all his medical knowledge to stabilize him#and then what?#There's something about taking all the power from a character who's used to having everything under control#about taking someone formidable and RUINING them#and then at the end of all that#Everyone lives :)#and they live happily ever after :)#hsr#spoilers#dr. ratio

being plagued with sunako/shota thoughts. dying of cringe but also enjoying it
#he's so stoic and firm all the time and seems so apathetic but sunako also knows all of his doubts and how much he really cares. and how#nurturing he is. she puts on a similar facade but he knows how sad she is inside and how she feels like she's failed her family and friends#they grew up together and know everything about each other but also feel like strangers for so long!!!!!!#he's a pro hero and teacher at UA but doesn't say anything abt his vigilante gf that breaks into his apartment every night bc she's doing#so much good

my therapist is so bad with lgbt stuff but ughhh it's so hard to find a decent therapist
#oxbow.txt#I need a girl I can talk to about my internalized bullshit#like me sitting around terrified by the knowledge that I am in a prison of my own design#it's like that story about the well#trapped in the dark out of fear that I'd fail in my escape#one time I explained to my therapist why I found being assigned a gender painful and she had nothing to say aside from a look of horror#I just. What if someone told you that you would become something new and think thoughts you find abhorrent and there is no escape.#Now what if you had to wake up every morning and answer to a stranger's name and wear a stranger's clothes and pretend to love it#every day it feels like I'm being buried alive but the worst part is that I'm doing it to myself in a way#I am being erased and overwritten and one day I will scream and no one will hear me#sometimes I wish I could just silently mercy kill the actual me in a way such that no one outside would notice. just keep the facade.#then I wouldn't be scratching at the lid of my metaphorical coffin. then it would be quiet.
