#their core is like. the Absence Of Core

[trans-xianxian]

I think most characters during the sunshot campaign have experienced some sort of hardship and suffering and can find comfort with each other even if discussing that pain is taboo but wei wuxian has experienced such a unique trauma that he literally Can't talk about and it is so isolating and alienating for him that it's pushing him to be even more unstable and I think one of the most heartbreaking things about this all is that jiang cheng may be the only person who could fathom even some part of his pain but he is also the one person wei wuxian has forbidden himself absolutely from expressing it to, and on top of so many other wounds the core transfer opens, I think this inability to connect in something they Should be able to understand each other in drives them even further apart

t-minus 3 hours to arcane act 3 launch and I am already seeing twitter having a whole fucking crisis on who tops who and whether or not king princess hinting at a sex scene actually holds water or not and ngl all the chaos would be 100x fucking funnier if the long-awaited sex scene actually didn't exist

i am once again astounded at the bsd fandom's ability to make everything about skk when, in fact, it has very little to do with skk

Fjord is so interesting because he is someone who does not really believe in fate and generally eschews the idea that anything about him has a destiny, even in the face of especially Caduceus insisting it so often—but at the same time, something about Fjord DOES feel so powerfully fated, something about him does feel grand and destined and inevitable

the absence of horatios in hamlet adaptations somehow feels gayer than their presence

The urge to do a breakdown of arma and new ryoma specifically to try to understand why new ryoma is not at all acknowledged compared to arma despite new having far more screen time and being explored as a character then arma is so strong even though the answer boils down to two things: “art style preference” and “no one cares about ryoma as a actual nuance character” but both of those points makes me so mad💀

I’ve been thinking about our core and their silly courting rituals and how everyone was so excited to include Karlsson into the group to make the threesome a foursome and idk I think there’s something that never healed when Flower left. It used to be that the Pens shining stars were Sid and Geno - the captain and his alternate, and the secondary pairing was Flower and Tanger - the goalie and his defenseman. Sid had his own special relationship with Flower - captain and goalie - and Tanger was the distant fourth member of the foursome. Then Flower was traded/drafted to Vegas and the two duos were broken. Tanger got dragged into Sid and Geno’s orbit as a third, being given the A for the first time, making it the captain and his alternates. Tanger and Sid had to create a new dynamic with their goalie, first Muzz and then Jarry but it was never the same as Flower. Flower was a contemporary, and everyone who’s followed is a step down, a step behind. Now we have Karlsson so it’s changing from our core trio to the forwards and the defense, all four decorated stars and future hall of famers. There are days when can I feel Flowers absence. The missing spot where he used to fit at Sid and Tanger and (less so but still very much there) Geno’s sides. I wonder some what this team would look like if we’d kept flower and given up Muzz. Would we have kept Tanger and Geno during contract gate without the open wound that is Flower’s departure? Do we keep this emphasis on the core™️ and keeping them all together through retirement? Geno’s been saying only in Pittsburgh always with Sid with every contract negotiation but does management listen without the hurt that is losing Flower?

Thinking about Kairi & Sora but mainly Kairi and going insane. Girl you have so many issues

[moe-broey]

Brain still soup but like. I think making one or both (or more!) characters involved in relationships with each other aromantic makes the dynamic soooooo much more compelling. Because if you remove romance as a motivator, you really get down to the nitty-gritty as to WHY that character is seeking out/involved in those relationships in the first place. Whether that relationship involves romantic factors or is more of a queer platonic thing. Much to think about....

[satans-codpiece]

man. i know every iteration of transformers will carry its own unique characterizations and that's part of the beauty of having 87 million canons

but also

Soundwave not minding the caste system and wondering if the Council would "cut him a better deal" than Megatron in Transformers: Exodus really uh.

hm.

don't like that.

Thinking about how millenials were raised with "stranger danger" that probably became psychological terrorism sometimes but that I'm absolutely grateful for. I sometimes hear myself say to my niece stuff that my mom used to warn me or that I learnt alone when it comes to internet(bc have u ever seen a boomer online for the love of God) and I still feel like that kid sometimes. I won't tell u my address bc I don't know u and you will kidnap and murder me. Fact is that those stuff really happened. Zoomers and to a lesser extent gen alpha were just left there with no one telling them what do be careful at. Most teenage stars now were contacted online or by the street and their moms just let them go with a stranger. Little kids have tiktok and sm unsupervised and people now in their 20s are online telling everyone their private business since they were 8. The result is that millenials usually are careful on their own while younger generation think that you own them that safety and when they eventually bump into dangerous stuff they're shocked and ask someone to go over their way to protect them. You're on your own kid but you should've had someone that taught you a bit of healthy fear of the unknown and of stranger. Someone that taught you what your and others privacy is,especially online. You can trust strangers but keep your eyes peeled
