When it comes to OG!Cale ships I like both OG!AlCale and OG!ChoiHan but it really depends on the scenario
For example, I like OG!AlCale in both regression aus and TBoaH adjacent timeline things because I think a huge thing I like in their dynamic is how mysterious they both are to the other party. The fun of their dynamic is them discovering more about each other and the various miscommunications they have cause of their own personalities, and I think that works very well no matter the universe.
But with OG!ChoiCale, I feel like I can really only enjoy it in TBoaH adjacent things or if they both have the memories of the first life.
To me, a big thing about OG!ChoiCale is about the life they lived together, how they hated eachother, how they both didn’t know eachother for years, how they could have spent time together during the war due to unfortunate circumstances(there not being enough people left)
Like, I think OG!ChoiCale can be such a cool dynamic, such a sad, but comforting one at the same time. It’s a little bitter how the man you thought you would hate forever became a close companion, how he’s more similar to you than your younger self woild have ever thought, but do you really hate it?
Can you really hate having a person who understands you, when so many people have died? When so many are gone?
Something about the sadness of it all, how it was tragedy that brought them against each other at first, but now it brings them together. How they could only ever grow to understand eachother because of the pain they face, the pain that they shared. At some point, can you really hate him, even until the end? After all those years? After coming to understand him? No, you cannot.
Like, it adds in extra layers when they both care about each other at some point mid-way through the war, but they still can’t really talk to eachother properly. They care, but they frustrate one another, anger each other. Choi Han doing increasingly more risky and self sacrificial things because ‘I’m a hero’ ‘I have to do it.’ ‘It is justice to save people’, despite the fact that it’s at the expense of himself
And Cale’s frustration at Choi Han’s attitude. He can never wrap his head around the fact that Choi Han destroys himself for the sake of other people, and believes it’s heroic(He knows Choi Han doesnt, he know Choi Han hates it too, but he doesn’t know what else to say to himself other than the fact that ‘it’s for the greater good’, because he will go crazy if he doesn’t)
He’s mad, but there’s some twisted sense of understanding in there too. Cale understands, because he became trash for his family, he became trash to protect them, he had to do it.
But that’s only what he thought.
He was older now, he had lost them all, and he had seen how his trash act hadn’t done anything to protect them. It only distanced him from them, and now they were gone, and he could never see them again, he could never make amends.
Cale is mad at Choi Han for sacrificing himself because while Choi Han is hurting himself, the people who he loves, and the people who love him, watch him do it over and over again and he doesn’t listen to their worried cries.
He’s mad, but he understands. It was frustrating to be on the other side, watching someone destroy themselves for the sake of others when the people who cared about them wanted the exact opposite. The only difference between him and Choi Han was that Choi Han was never a good liar, he could never hide how much pain he went through.
In a way, Cale thought it was better that way.
At some point, there is love that is there. Love that follows them, and it’s so painful because they both know the tragedy edy to it that is how they are doomed, how they can never be happy in the first time line where they knew each other.
Because as Cale and Choi Han, they can’t be happy. Not when so much has been lost, not when the world is falling apart, they may love each other, but loving each other as they are means being in a world where everything else they love is gone.
It is a cruel kind of love.
Like let’s say they do pursue these feelings, even though knowing those two I don’t think they’d ever say anything in that scenario. If they did it would probably be Cale going like:
“Choi Han, do you love me?”
Choi Han doesn’t say anything, but his silence in place of adamant refusal is enough of an answer.
“Do you love me, Cale?”
Cale doesn’t say anything either, only smiling at Choi Han with his signature, cynical and bitter smile.
He didn’t deny it either.
It was a confirmation of feelings, but unlike the confessions from romance novels and stories, the main character and lead do not end up together and live happily ever after.
They stay together, but the world around them is not happy, not at all. They are together, but not as partners or as lovers, but two people who live in their suffering because all they can do is live.
I feel like anything they do together would always have an air of melancholy to it. Maybe they kiss, once, and no more, because there is no point in making it a regular thing. Not when everything in their world will end, even if they keep on fighting for it to not be that way.
They kiss, and it’s short, but in that short moment, the world is nothing but Cale and Choi Han.
Isn’t that selfish? If it’s like this, then they could ignore how everything has gone so badly. But that is exactly why they cannot be together, there is no ignoring the reality of their situation, no matter how sweet it would be to live in a false dream and never wake up.
I like my OG!ChoiCale a little doomed.
#I LOVE DOOMED YAOI!!!!!!!!#I can only like OG!ChoiCale when they’re different from TCF ChoiCale#actually that’s something I don’t like in a lot of things#where it’s just TCF copy and pasted but Roksoo is gone and OG Cale is in his place#it’s something I don’t prefer personally#because I like OG Cale as he is#and not as KRS’s replacement#I like both of them and they both deserve their own stories#not to say that OG AlCale is similar to TCF AlCale#they aren’t really similar#but I guess I’m more particular about how I feel on OG ChoiCale cause they’re my favorite ship 😭#yes the ship with zero screentime is my favorite#I know#it’s tragic#but yeah I like OG!ChoiCale as doomed old man yaoi#I think there is a lot of potential in their dynamic#because of how doomed the TBoaH universe is#tcf#lcf#just rambling#trash of the count's family#lout of the count’s family#tcf novel#lcf novel#og cale henituse#choicale

Percy and Oliver is autism x adhd couple but I will argue that Percy has adhd while Oliver has autism
#harry potter#percy weasley#oliver wood#perciver#I argue this because of the hyperfixiation on quidditch#doesn’t understand why no one else has the same level of interest#extremely focused#I will argue Percy has adhd because of his extreme focus on academics and doing well#probably has burn out syndrome#doesn’t want to disappoint anyone so strives for high grades anyway#tbh the only reason I say he might have adhd is because I sort of have a similar personality and am adhd#theyre adhd x autism#sorry if the tags aren’t really clear

did y’all know that my summer of buddie event was literally copied and turned into a buckt*mmy event and i didn’t say anything about it because I understand that sometimes other fans take inspiration in other fandom events? but did y’all know the event is like literally a perfect copy of mine? well, now that we’re talking about “plagiarism” and “copying” and accusing fans of shit i thought i’d just let you know that this did happen :)
#and like am I super happy about it? not really no lmao#but fandom events aren’t copyrighted!!! it’s super normal to take inspiration and create similar events to others#anyways…. yeah….#911 discourse

Honestly, shout out to Oropher and Thranduil for not getting involved in the incest party.
Legolas politely doesn’t think about the fact that Elladan, Elrohir, and Arwen’s family tree is a wreath, because honestly, he finds it super weird. The amount of times Legolas has had to restrain himself from clapping back at any comments about his family with “yeah, well at least our romantic interests isn’t made up exclusively of our cousins” is surreal.
Legolas, when Aragorn and Arwen fall in love: so! I love and support you both, i would die for you! But would it kill ya’ll to stop falling in love with your cousins?!? I know it’s technically the nth time removed, but still!
#lord of the rings#lotr#silmarillion#the hobbit#lotr elves#legolas#thranduil#incorrect tolkien quotes#incorrect lotr quotes#silm incorrect quotes#oropher#incorrect hobbit quotes#house of finwe#listen#you can’t tell me that they don’t look at that family tree and aren’t weirded out by it#this is in the same vein as Oropher not cursing his descendants with phonetically similar first names#Oropher really went: yeah imma dip before this gets too lost in the sauce

best thing about doctor who is that it is unpoisoned by the irony that most long-running media gets cannibalized by. it is invincible because it is so silly and so full of love and it takes each premise with the exact amount of seriousness it deserves. the closest you get ever is that some of bill’s lines are verbatim little teasing nitpicks of the show that the fandom bandied about, but they don’t come off as mocking the premise, they come off as loving the premise and how silly it is. why’s his time machine anagram work in english? it just does. his name is doctor who.
#fifteen looks into the camera and winks at the audience but its not to say ‘this is all so stupid isnt it lmao’ its to go ‘and there’s more#incredible things to come. aren’t you excited? because we are.’#the day doctor who has mcu ass dialogue ill kill myself#the heart of it is v similar to star trek tos i think#that the silly disarms you and then when the genuine emotion comes in you’ve already let your guard down and it hits you twice as hard#you laugh at mickey getting eaten by a trash can and turning into a rubber dude. and while you’re laughing about that and going ‘wow this is#ridiculous’ then it slaps you over the head with nine yelling that he couldn’t save anyone.#its fantastic it really is#doctor who

#I’m NOT EVEN AMERICAN and just. wow#my future#so many children’s lives are going to be fucking ruined because of this#like. the implications of this#the effect it’s going to have on my country#the idea of trump having access to nukes for four more years#I don’t even have words for this#why America. you really chose fascism. again.#us politics#late night posting I’m just really sad#just wow#and I can see that everyone else is having a similar reaction#god and those people in Palestine. I’m so fucking sorry to the people in palestine#I had no hand in this election and yet I’ve somehow failed you#and all those American children who aren’t gonna get a good education. imagine what media literacy in the next few years will be like#imagine the amount of children who are about to kill themselves#or the children who end up being brutalized to death#I don’t even wanna think about it

I need you guys to hear me out on a Mizuki, Rui, Akito and Len April fools cover of villain
#idk if they’ll do April fools similarly to last yea but if they do it in threes plus a vocaloid#I need it to be them#pjsk#project sekai#mizuki akiyama#rui kamishiro#akito shinonome#len kagamine#I want to add in my justifications as well#1) tbh I don’t really like the cover in the game mostly cause I think the direction the va’s we’re given just didn’t really fit the song#specifically I think Mizuki would sound much better next to another powerful singer#2) akito’s va has already covered this song and it sounded phenomenal#3) similar reasons I think this song would really suit Rui’s voice as well as his character (obligatory i know the songs aren’t canon)#and 4) I prefer it when Len is the stand in for flower over Meiko most of the time

2024 reads / storygraph
Pluralities
sci-fi novella
a burned out 20-something with premonitions has a gender-questioning journey, after quitting their job and becoming friends with benefits with a trans guy
with a parallel narrative about a runaway alien prince in a space empire and his complicated friendship with his sentient spaceship friend
audiobook arc from netgalley!
#Pluralities#avi silver#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#aromantic books#I really enjoyed it!#I liked how it explored how it can be complicated figuring out nonbinary identity when you’ve been raised in an environment#of womanhood-can-be-anything feminism and even when you’re well aware of queer/trans identities#I also didn’t go into this expecting it to be aro (for some reason…..I know the author is lol)#but it was a pleasant surprise to find the MC is aro-coded and for it to centre a friends with benefits relationship with a lot of depth!#it is definitely just a light detail - much more focused on gender#I really enjoyed the alien story too... I love sentient spaceship creatures#and also the realisation that oh… the MC is like fully an alien (many eyes…).#The two stories aren’t necessarily connected in the literal way some might expect them to be#but they do have similar themes of identity and running away from your current life to find yourself#trans books#nonbinary books

one day we will talk about how tennis fans talk about/treat players they find attractive versus players they dont…………
#and sorry but. a lot of you do this!#im sure i do it as well#but sometimes it’s just feels like…idk really obvious that that’s what’s happening#idk it pisses me off. but especially with the wta it feels reductive sometimes to call it out#like ‘oh you’re only supporting her bc she’s pretty’ like EWWW. what a nasty thing to say#BUT i do think it’s true sometimes!!!!#not that people only support players they think are pretty#but that people are far more sympathetic or that they’re more likely to get behind a player they aren’t *usually* a fan of#does this make sense?#and i think it extends to the atp as well but partially less obvious bc ppl let men get away with anything anyway lol#lowkey it feels mean to talk about because any comparisons i make have to insinuate someone’s attractiveness…#but like it really feels like the elephant in the room sometimes…like how do you not see what you’re doing here#and can i be real! i think karo is a massive beneficiary of this!#and i think that’s part of why i notice it so much because i notice the way people talk about her and support her (which of course i love)#but then i compare that with other players who have had similar stories…and i feel like i do have the perspective here—#because i see so much of what is said about karo#so it feels quite obvious when she’s honestly? treated *very* well considering her career#we’ve seen plenty of players who have injury issues who are just labeled inconsistent or as having ‘physical issues’#i think karo gets a lot of sympathy in comparison…and id even go so far as to say i think she’s overhyped sometimes!#which i know is a wild thing to say as a huge fan of hers but i think it’s true! idk. this is not really the point but im trying to explain#what i meant by the earlier tags. that some players who are seen as attractive are given way more leniency in general

kenjaku benefits a lot from being closer to the classic evil mad scientist than just an evil mastermind
#I miss kenjaku as an Alive villain in the story lol#but really their character is the most b-movie horror evil mad scientist#not like there aren’t other mad scientists or experimentations even in other battle shonen#but it’s executed well with kenjaku. I feel similarly with mahito#there’s a certain level of genuine cheesiness + not being too powerful or intelligent that makes it work#don’t get me wrong they’re awful but it’s similar i how i feel about like. Freddy Kruger or something#might delete#this is kind of a nothing post but I miss some of the villains of that manga lmao

My experience with outer wilds is kinda weird. It’s my favorite game, but I played it wrong.
I’m bad at video games. That’s not a self deprecation thing, it’s just a fact. I struggle with the controls (they just don’t come intuitively to me). I also get genuinely stressed out to the point where I often can’t keep playing.
Most of my experience with video games comes from watching others play them, which then inspires me to play them myself. Many might find this pointless, especially cause I mostly play story heavy games and if I’ve seen a playthrough I already know the story, but i still like to play it myself.
With outer wilds I actually started playing it without spoilers first like you’re supposed to. But I was never really told “do not look stuff up” explicitly, so I did. A lot. I’m a completionist, so I tried to explore planet by planet and if I got stuck on something I looked it up. I didn’t actually finish the game. I explored most of giants deep, brittle hollow, timber hearth, the attlerock and some of ember twin. I didn’t reach any of the harder locations and I don’t think I was really processing much of the info. Eventually I gave up. I got stuck on ember twin cause the time pressure stressed me out.
I still really liked it so I decided to watch a playthrough. And I fell in love. The story really got to me and I immediately started playing it again. I know the whole point of outer wilds is to experience it yourself. And knowing how to complete the game ruins it. But I still played through it, finding all the text and letting the story sink in. (I actually haven’t reached the ending, I tried once but immediately crashed and died and got so stressed I had to stop, I haven’t had the motivation to try again yet)
I regret it now. I wish I got the true outer wilds experience. I still love the game, I love the story, but I never truly got to explore and put all the clues together myself. And that’s my own fault. Luckily I didn’t watch echoes of the eye and I’m going to play it soon with minimal spoilers and hopefully reach the end. (This has been sitting in my drafts for a while so at the time I’m posting this I actually just started!)
I wonder if there are any others in the outer wilds fandom that didn’t play it “correctly”. Since people talk a lot about their experiences playing the game and how it changed them I always felt like I was missing out on something since my personal experience of playing the game is kinda “wrong”. But I think it shows you can still love something even if you didn’t experience it the way it was meant to be experienced. I love the story and the world so much and it means a lot to me.
#there are a lot of games I never played myself because they just aren’t accessible to me#I don’t know why I find it so hard#I wanted to play hollow knight but it was so hard I gave up after like an hour#I don’t wanna watch a playthrough cause I don’t wanna end up regretting it like I always do#I think I’d really enjoy it (ori is one of my fave games and I heard it’s similar)#and I wanna actually play it myself for once#anyways weird ramble over I just have a complicated relationship to video games#outer wilds#echoing thoughts

if i had a nickel for every time i read a yuri manga with a pink haired arospec/arospec coded protagonist and a dark haired upperclassman love interest who is also the focus of a unrequited crush from a blond classmate i would have two nickels. which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice
#bloom into you#whisper me a love song#sasakoi#like i was thinking about this earlier. yuu and himari aren’t really that similar character wise but looking at it at face value….

You know I really do wonder what Radish and Rosemary’s parents look like, considering they’re sisters but don’t really look all that related
Heck, their ingredients don’t really seem that related, other than them both starting with R and being things you can grow in a garden
…Ah wait crap, now I’ve invited the request suggestion. I don’t know what to make them!
#yeah I feel like they’re the most unrelated seeming siblings we’ve gotten#because usually even if they don’t look super related like Alchemist and Vampire#they usually share a similar flavor like Alchemist and Vampire being grapes and wine/grape juice respectively#I really don’t know the connection between radishes and rosemary#I mean this isn’t necessarily me bashing the two#it’s interesting that they aren’t remotely similar#(though I feel like they should have had at least something in their designs to indicate that they’re sisters)#I’m just wondering what their parents are#I’d assume a vegetable and herb like them#cookie run#cookie run witch’s castle#radish cookie#rosemary cookie#also these are the only images I have because there aren’t available and ready sprites I can find

Literally every single story I’ve been infatuated in some way was a mystery,,, I love mysteries,,,, why aren’t my stories MYSTERIES-
#Ok my stories have A LOT of mystery elements but they aren’t fully mysteries#LIKE… THISE STORIES ALWAYS HAVE SUCH GOOD VIBES OOUGGUUHHH#Although the other problem with mysteries is that they’re really hard to write 😭😭😭😭😭#I can dream though…#Sighs I woke up with the theme song of ASOUE in my head…. That shit was so peak#Lmfao for AWHILE (like years) I had a cool intro idea in my head for FF but it’s basically the opening to asoue LMFAO WHOOPS 😭😭#With the song Fireflies by Chris Garneau lol#GUYS FF SIMILAR TO A STYLE LIKE ASOUE MAKES SO MUCH SENSE????#It was right there…. Right in front of me (FF was inspired by asoue right when making it and then I forgot due to that being years ago lmao#i may be stupid#Sighs anyway now I have really good art ideas with the FF guys#I NEED TO STFU ABOUT MY OCS
