#they’re mentally ill about eachother

[deadandwalking]

note before any of this i haven’t finished arcane yet so i may be missing some things, but i know a lot of people are upset that Jinx called Vander/Warwick dad but never Silco which is fair, i wanted it too, but i think part of the reason she never called Silco dad was because that title wasn’t as meaningful to her. like, Jinx had a dad. she had her bio father but she also had Vander for a good while. despite this, they were never the most important to her. Vi was. Vi was her older sister and her favourite person (could LITERALLY be an fp if we look at the signs of BPD there). she always thought of Vi as a mother figure, but never called her mom, because Vi was her big sister. so she did think of Silco as a father, but calling him ‘dad’ just didn’t encompass how much he meant to her. he was MORE than a father to her, he was everything. he was the new Vi.

I COULD KISS YOU — GREG HOUSE

masterlist

pairing: greg house x reader

description: when an offhand comment to praise house for helping you diagnose a patient leads to the silent treatment, you’re both forced to confront the feelings that had been lingering unspoken for too long.

warnings: swearing, angst to a teeny bit of fluff, may be a lil ooc as i’m still iffy on fleshing out how i write the house characters but i’m trying <3

author’s note: had this idea and got excited so bashed it out quite quickly while i was motivated af — hopefully you enjoy !!! let me know what you think

“Gregory House, you bloody genius,” you exclaimed, clenching your fists in excitement, unable to stop the words that came flying out next, “I could kiss you!”

You’d been trying to diagnose your patient for nigh on a week now, and with the young boy’s symptoms rapidly progressing and his condition rapidly worsening, House’s diagnostic expertise provided exactly the breakthrough you needed.

You were ecstatic — mentally piecing together just how he had to be correct — and so without another word you practically skipped out of his office to run some tests and reach the certainty needed to treat the boy as soon as possible.

What House had suggested made perfect sense, accounting for every symptom and every adverse reaction to the treatments you had tried so far, and though you usually mocked his tendency to always smugly assume he was right, at present you were immeasurably grateful for his input.

You were disappointed, then, when you rushed to tell him that the young boy was responding incredibly well to the treatment he suggested and he simply gave you his smug “I-told-you-so” smile and rushed away from you.

He didn’t speak to you again for the rest of the day, choosing instead to actually take time to visit his patients rather than deal with encountering you again.

“What did I do to piss House off?” you asked Cameron, Foreman and Chase shyly as you stood near the nurse’s station with them.

They all just eyed you like the answer was obvious, but Chase shrugged, “When has anyone ever needed to actually do something to piss him off?”

“No, he won’t even talk to me right now,” you frowned, brows furrowed, “It’s weird. I don’t know what I’ve done wrong since this morning.”

The group all looked between eachother, as though deciding who would be the one to have to tell you the honest truth.

“Probably something to do with your little ‘I could kiss you’,” Chase replied, doing a terrible impersonation of you and batting his eyelids flirtatiously as he quoted you, “He didn’t seem to like that very much.”

Your mouth was parted in confusion, “Firstly, I do not sound like that. But secondly, why would he give me the silent treatment for that? Is the idea of kissing me that repulsive?”

Cameron scoffed, rolling her eyes, “You’re both as oblivious as each other, Y/N… He’s ignoring you for literally the opposite reason.”

You shook your head in disbelief.

Was she seriously trying to tell you that House was ignoring you because he didn’t like you joking about kissing him?

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

“It’s literally painfully obvious, Y/N,” Foreman groaned, “You’ve had this weird sexual tension going on forever and given that he’s usually bad at giving a damn about people, he gets weird about you. And he obviously has feelings for you, so it rubbed him up the wrong way.”

Chase chuckled, “They’re right. He’s only mad at you because you’re the only person he’s never mad at but you hurt the feelings he apparently has.”

You pondered what he was saying for a moment, trying to piece together whether there was any semblance of truth behind their explanation for House’s weird behaviour.

Truth be told, it was the exact kind of petty and ill-fitting behaviour you’d expect from House.

For such a brilliant man, he could be utterly childish at times, especially if he wasn’t getting his way.

Your relationship had always teetered on the edge of professionalism — he was always making flirtatious comments, he always took your suggestions on board more than the others, always sung your praises to your peers and superiors.

Whilst everyone else was certain it was proof of his feelings for you, you had just thought he appreciated that you never pried into his life unless he offered to divulge information himself, and you were excellent at your job.

Of course, you couldn’t deny that you enjoyed your ambiguous relationship, given the crush you had harboured since very early on in your acquaintance. That’s why you always flirted back, always made sure your input was carefully though out, and why you were always singing his praises too.

But it was Greg House — a man who so famously behaved as though he didn’t care about anyone. So of course you didn’t think that things would ever progress past your unprofessional professional relationship.

“Where is he?”

“In his office,” Cameron smiled, “He told me to make sure nobody bothered him, and I think he meant you because he’s still throwing his toys out of the pram.”

You rolled your eyes with a laugh, “God, he’s ridiculous. I’m going to go and talk to him. Or try, anyway. Wish me luck.”

“Is this House we’re talking about?” Dr. James Wilson made an appearance at your side now, his brow quirked in curiosity as he butted into the conversation.

You nodded, “He’s being a baby instead of actually talking to me about why he’s mad.”

You hoped he’d have some kind of more concrete explanation, given that he was the only person House was even remotely honest around.

“He’s hardly an expert at talking about his feelings, is he? Or having them, actually,” Wilson chuckled, “But he’s been grumbling all day. Please do go and speak to him. For my sanity’s sake, if not your relationship’s.”

“Slow down, Wilson,” you scoffed, but though you didn’t want to get ahead of yourself, you couldn’t deny the fluttering in your stomach at any sort of reference to you and House’s potential relationship, “I’m going!”

You entered the room without even knocking, folding your arms over your chest with a stern expression on your features as you strode towards his desk and stood firmly in front of him.

“I’m busy.”

“Busy being petty and ignoring me?”

He looked up now, narrowing his eyes as he realised you were not going to meekly scuttle away like you had done every other time he’d dismissed you today.

“What makes you think that?” sarcasm dripped from his words, “I just so enjoy spending time getting to know my patients and doing paperwork!”

You huffed out a sigh, frustrated by him already trying to dodge the subject, “Greg.”

“Y/N.”

“Greg!”

“Y/N!” he matched your tone just to challenge you, and you scoffed, “Are you really going to be like this?”

“Like what?”

“So deliberately evasive?”

His lips drew together in a thin line as he eyed you carefully, “How’s your little boy from this morning?”

“You are so fucking frustrating, Greg,” you scowled, “Can we have an adult conversation here?”

He appeared to ponder over another joke to make, but apparently for the first time in his life thought better, as he remained silent and waited for you to continue.

“I’ve been so stressed out about that kid, and you helped me to help him massively — he’s likely to be discharged by tomorrow. I was so happy, so relieved, and I said I could kiss you,” you began, avoiding his gaze at first until your final sentence, “And it was a silly offhanded comment about how grateful I was, but at the same time I honestly could’ve kissed you because I quite honestly want to a lot of the time.”

Oh my God — you’d stunned the Greg House into silence?

Your breathing was jagged, “I don’t know if you’re just being an ass because you don’t like being on the other end of jokes, or if the team actually aren’t just blind hopeless romantics and you actually care about me. But I just wish you’d talk to me instead of doing all this and making me feel like you don’t care at all.”

He pulled himself up onto his feet, grabbing his cane to lean on as he inched closer to you.

“It’s a bit of both,” his voice was low, and you were sure that if you didn’t know him better you might believe him to be shy about telling you the truth, “I’m not good at caring, and I don’t usually like caring, but I guess I do. Sue me!”

You took another step forward, so that you were so close you were breathing right in each other’s faces.

You were trying to be brave and command the conversation, but your stomach was doing backflips as it dawned on you that what he meant was that he really did feel the same about you.

“Why would you go silent on me then instead of talking to me about it?” you bit your lip as you spoke, and caught notice of how his eyes trailed to your lips as you did so.

He swallowed thickly, “Didn’t feel right to. Hardly professional, is it?”

“Oh, because you’re the picture of professionalism usually aren’t you?” you laughed dryly.

“Point taken,” he shrugged, “Maybe I was little scared. And we’ve got a good thing going, it’s a risk pushing things any further.”

You weren’t happy with that, not when this was Greg House — king of taking risks and breaking rules — and you were certain that it was a risk worth taking anyway.

“When has risk ever stopped you?” you asked, whispering now as your eyes darted between his and his lips whilst he mirrored your behaviour.

“Point also taken,” he mumbled, before finally taking the plunge and bringing his lips to yours in a heated kiss that you leaned into immediately.

He quickly leaned back to sit on the edge of his desk, his hands finding your waist as he pulled you to stand between his parted legs.

You pulled back, suddenly aware that anyone could come in at this moment and see you — and whilst the biggest risk here really was endless teasing from the team or a scolding from Cuddy, you did still have some things to discuss too.

You didn’t want to ruin the moment, overcome with giddiness at what had just happened, but you wanted to make your feelings clear; Even if it was to a man who would probably make a jokey remark and underplay his own feelings.

“I don’t know your relationship history, and I don’t care to,” you shrugged, moving your hands to your hips but hardly moving away from him, “Well, I’m not rushing to. I can assume it’s not great, but I just want to take every day as it comes and see where things go because mine isn’t great either. I’m not gonna hurt you, Greg.”

The sincerity in his eyes as he gazed up at you made your heart melt, and you could tell that somehow, some way, you had gotten through to him.

“Don’t make promises you can’t be certain that you’ll keep, Y/N,” he mumbled, before shaking off his own words and standing back up to stare into your eyes intently, “But fine. Because it’s you, I’m willing to try. Provided there’s more of this,” he kissed you again before continuing, “And less of them ogling and concocting their little romantic stories about the lovely doctor Y/N and her damaged old fool.”

You turned around to see the entire team peering through the window, all smiles and whispered chatter at the sight before them.

You raised your middle finger to them, turning back to look at House and stepping back a little from him.

“Unfortunately, those nosey fuckers are not going anywhere,” you rolled your eyes, “If you’re willing to try then we’re going for dinner. Tonight. And we’re going to have a good time, and not talk about this place or about anything you don’t want to.”

He nodded, “I’ll pretend I’m not furious you’ve robbed me of making the grand romantic gesture of being the one to ask,” he cocked his head as he joked, truthfully very much pleased you were the one to ask and confirm that your interest in him was genuine, “But sounds good to me. I’ll wear my nicest tux, eh.”

“Yeah, yeah, ha ha,” you hummed, “Now I’ve got a living patient to go and visit thanks to you. Enjoy your afternoon with that lot,” you gestured to your friends, who were all still stood there watching you, “Good luck. Oh, and pick somewhere to book for us to eat. That can be your grand romantic gesture, hm.”

“Gee, thanks,” he laughed, shaking his head, “I’ll see you later.”

“See you later,” you grinned, swanning out of his office with the biggest smile possible painting your features.

You nudged past your friends as they watched you walk down the corridor, happier than they had probably ever seen you in the time that you’d known them.

They immediately filed into House’s office when you were out of sight, and his head fell back in irritation for a moment despite the smile still gracing his lips.

“Things went well, then?”

“Go away,” he replied, “I’m in a good mood for once, and you idiots aren’t going to ruin that, alright?”

“Woah, okay,” Foreman laughed, “Who are you and what has Y/N done with Greg House?”

thanks for reading !!! i hope enjoyed and this wasn’t too ooc lol. let me know what you though pleaaase & if you’d like — feel free to request!

in the meantime, here is my masterlist!

[am-i-the-asshole-official]

WIBTA if i talked to the school councelor because i suspect one of my friends is autistic? 👁️

(note: asshole is probably a strong word - what i’m mostly asking is if it would be a good idea)

I (17) have a friend (17) we’ll call Alex. I’ve been friends with Alex since we were in first grade, because our parents knew eachother. We kind of grew up together. Our entire lives, they’ve always been “weird,” they’ve never picked up on social cues well, they’re obsessed with chickens and know an absurd amount about them, they describe themself as a “creature of habit,” they struggle to understand when people are joking vs serious, and they are really bad at spelling, just to name off the top of my head. Now, any of these thing in a vacuum wouldn’t warrant anything necessarily, but all together i’m pretty certain they have undiagnosed autism.

Some added context, im not autistic myself, but i do have ADHD and i have an interest in psychology and how the brain works. In doing my own research to see if i was autistic, i noticed a lot of similarities between what i was reading and how i’ve known Alex as a friend my whole life. I’ve had the idea of them maybe being autistic rolling in the back of my head for like, two years now? But haven’t ever said anything about it, because i was afraid I was wrong or overthinking.

Now, here’s why i’m worried about bringing it up to anyone. Their parents are very… “nuclear family” ish. they’re very catholic, and have six kids with a seventh on the way (we live in the suburbs) and a part of me feels they don’t believe in mental health/illnesses/disorders or anything like that. They’re also transphobic, but you didn’t hear that from me. I just fear that telling a counselor would spread the info to parents who either wouldn’t understand, wouldn’t care, or would try and “cure” it. Alex already isn’t doing well mentally (they’ve talked about feeling textbook dysphoria and are in denial about it - i think they’re a transmasc egg) and i really don’t want to bring it up if it will cause problems.

BUT. I talked to my mom about all of this (we’re very close and i knew she wouldn’t make a big deal out of it) and she recommended talking to the school counselor, and im just wondering if it’s a good idea. In the best case scenario, the counselor would work to get them a diagnosis and HOPEFULLY a therapist (oh my god do they need a therapist), but in the worst case? in the awful world for autistic people we live in? i just don’t know if it’s wise. So here i am turning to tumblr, the most neurodivergent site around. WIBTA if i talked to the counselor about my friend who i heavily suspect is autistic?

[howlsofbloodhounds]

you know sometimes when I read about the bad sanses engaging in violent brutal fighting with eachother for fun i never see the results of how it effects their bodies. they’re all just healed and it all magically goes away as if the body wasn’t brutalized and mutilated over and over

like obviously I don’t mind when this type of thing is normalized by the characters because they’re all violent mentally ill murderers but like. their bodies are not gonna think that. like. imagine having to restrain from instinctively flinching away from your teammates or experiencing something like aching phantom pains

[deanswhiskeyglass]

I saw all the con panels of jensen & misha, and their conversations with the crowd and eachother about destiel. I think it’s genuinely beautiful that after so long, jensen has finally spoken about it and not avoided the topic, for whatever reason that may be.

SO many of you, are misinterpreting this as the two being interested in eachother, which is insane? I know that jenmish shippers were always a thing, and I think it’s incredibly weird to ship two living humans, who have lives, and feelings, and families. So many of you are so chronically online you’ve seem to forgotten that. My point is, stop making something it’s not. ESPECIALLY after this breakthrough with jensen ackles. I really hope he doesn’t use tumblr, because this is just some insane shit.

I’ve always avoided big parts of this fandom because of it, and I’m glad I have because laawwwdy it is AWFUL. Just can’t seem to escape it on tumblr, it’s everywhere. Point is, mind you’re business and stay out of other peoples lives, they’re humans. Not to mention, Jensen has a wife, and kids. Y’all are mentally ill.

Andrew Kreiss x Reader general HCs

written with male reader in mind

Warnings: he/they for Andrew, mental illness, meltdowns, mention of violent behavior/force (there will be a cut before the section including these mentions), lightly implied neurodivergent Andrew, no beta reader (we die like men)

🪦 Andrew has never felt 100% attached to the identity that everyone else assigned to him. Everyone at the manor avoided him, not including his small circle of people that checked up on them occasionally.

🪦 when you had came along to the manor, you were immediately drawn to him. You couldn’t put your finger on it, but it was just something about them that captivated you. You speculate that maybe you see a bit of yourself in him.

🪦 Andrew tries to force himself into social situations with you at first. He’s not shy by any means, but he’s definitely not kind. The main reason why he keeps himself removed from everyone else is because he doesn’t want to offend anyone.

🪦 it is extremely easy to be Andrew’s friend. They value loyalty and honesty more than anything, but there’s no other requirements. Unless you’re super disrespectful and gossip a lot. Obviously, it’s a no for him.

🪦 the best dynamic I think you could ever have with Andrew is one that leans more on the platonic edge. He enjoys playful banter, but he’s not good at conveying any other emotion that isn’t disdain. If you two could go the rest of your lives pretending that you both hate eachother, he’d consider that a valuable relationship.

🪦 he acts drastically different based on his status. If he’s sick, he has no shame or embarrassment. He is much more blunt when it comes to his needs, but he isn’t as snappy like he usually is,

🪦 tired-drew is very similar. He’s much more physically affectionate, but he has a very sour way of speaking to you. If you were anyone else, your feelings might be hurt, but you simply just get sour right back at him.

🪦 there’s never really a time where he is “jubilant”, especially when you’re early on in your relationship. The only time you can get close is when you smother him. They will allow you to do such things to them, but you will need to be able to get your hands on him first.

🪦 Physical touch is good when he’s receiving, but do not ever expect for him to give you physical affection. He would much rather give you things and spend time with you then have to hold you.

🪦 he is extremely insecure, you need to remember this. As much as he prefers the platonic aspects of your relationship, he still needs to know that you do in fact love him and that you’re not just lonely.

🪦 he asks you a lot of questions, and he will remember all of your responses. He wonders a lot if he was just your only option, so the questions will be exactly like those stupid questions that people will ask their significant others.

“If I switched brains with ______ and you had to choose between me in their body or them in my body, who would you choose?”

“You in their body.”

“So you think they’re more attractive?”

Under cut: potentially triggering topics such as mental illness, mental breakdowns, meltdowns, and potential violent behavior (lashing out at a partner for crossing boundaries)

🪦 there are a lot of things you need to deal with that aren’t exactly positive, aside from the insecurity. Mental breakdowns and Anxious meltdowns are frequent, and they will need their space for awhile.

🪦 people who experience these can one hundred percent get violent. It does not matter how much Andrew loves you or how much you love him, do not be the person that kisses someone while they’re in mental distress. You both will end up getting hurt.

🪦 Andrew will not be afraid to use force against you if you get to close to him or touch him in any way while he is in these states, and he will not feel sorry. He might feel guilty, but unless he actually gets aggressive or violent, he finds no need to apologize.

🪦 in a lot of his meltdowns or really any time he isn’t doing good mentally, he does get the encouragement from his mind to just leave you, and he will at that moment. You can try to use logic with him, but it will not work. All you need to do is wait for this to pass and be there for him when he comes back to you (it takes him about a day or two, nothing crazy).

🪦 he cannot be with someone that isn’t patient. He is a patient person when it comes to people with similar needs or issues as him. If you are someone who experiences any type of stress or mental breakdowns similar to him, he is extremely patient.

🪦 this man does not have much self respect, but if they do notice that you two will do nothing but hurt eachother, he will walk out. You two can stay friends maybe, depending on the situation, but he will not stay with someone who will do nothing but hurt him or vice versa.

[knight-says-nanana]

I’m still on my twoface/riddler soapbox. So many people are missing out on such a good dynamic, more people need to ship them

Harvey is very strong and physically bigger than Ed, yes, this is true but this doesn’t inherently mean abuse, no, it means potential

Credit to @s-e-v-e-n-24 for wording it so well but have we so easily forgotten the Big/Small dynamic? "Bodyguard" who would kill if asked for someone who would do the same?

Please it’s the muscle and mastermind duo except BOTH of them are smart as hell so really they’re just The Worst for Gotham to deal with

Let them be cute let Harvey give his bf niche legal terms to make riddles with

They even have compatible mental illness! OCD solidarity, they would get eachother, there’s an inherent understanding. And with the things they don’t share it’s just a matter of learning, which they’re both fully capable of because again we know how smart they are. Plus, Ed is friends with Harley. If a book can’t explain them then she can

And they’re both clingy as hell!!! You know they are!!! Look at them look at their trauma how else do you think that manifests?? PDA but they’re stylish about it. Even sappy kisses are significantly cooler in front of explosions

Plus, high energy/low energy? Visually, when they’re monologuing together, they are everything Joker & Harley were supposed to be

[box-of-chaooos]

*taps a mic* dragon hunters though am I right?

Pls I’m drabbling into another lost media foreign show (least it’s foreign In the uk) with no fandom to be found anymore! 2004?! I wasn’t even born than. I knew the movie existed I watched it as a kid after my dad bought it home from cex one day in the kids section. Found it again recently and have discovered there’s a show! Needless to say my hyperfixation returned full swing and I’m going coocoo in the head.

Lian-chu and gwizdo are so gay for eachother but have NO idea? “Why haven’t I ever been in love?!” Because, gwizdo, you aren’t in love with ladies you don’t even know yourself that you’re gay. You think that ‘fraternal love’ for Lian-chu is simply that and of friendship but nu uh you love him. Same goes for Lian-chu. Such a shame that if they where ever to figure it out they’d be shunned due to the timeline. Oh well they’re rebells! Also trans gwizdo? Gimme.

You’re gonna look at that squeaky voices man with a tiny stature lil waist n round face and tell me “no you can’t headcannon that” oh yes I can and I intend too. Upon close detail he seems to have rounded hips tank you and I shall do as I please with that info!

Also they’re both autistic fuck you. Gwizdo probably has undiagnosed adhd too but we don’t talk about thaaat. Anyways I’m so mentally ill about them, they are so mentally ill. I love them sm I am gwizdo he is me and I’m gonna fixate till I drop.

But that’s just my two cents on the show n such.

Edit and a reminder in case this has upset anyone, these are MY headcannons you don’t have to agree with them. They are not real they aren’t show accurate but it’s my personal headcannon and opinion you don’t have to agree with me you are allowed to think of them as you please! :]

[bitchslapblastoids]

Let’s get some spoiler free posts on the dash! What do you love about dnp? (Be sure to tag #phan #dan and phil for the fandometrics <3)

Love this method of engineering and architecting our shared tumblr experience. Way to go anon!

Oooooooh what do I love about them oh noooooo I’m about to talk for sooooooo long.

Ok. Well part of what I love is kind of out of their control, and that’s the sprawling epic love story that has played out in this incredible hyperdocumented multimedia archive of the journey from puppy love —> real love —> guarding and protecting that love —> choosing one another consistently through stages of life —> working through incredibly hard life challenges together —> cracking open the shell encasing their love in order to share it more and more with the world. It’s just so beautiful to have witnessed. Seeing how they have grown around one another, adapting to match one another’s best traits and draw them out of eachother, god. Something special.

I love that dan is exceedingly vulnerable and open about weird, tough shit. I love that he’s really thoughtful about what he puts out into the world. Like, he cares about his contributions a lot and how he spends his precious time on this planet. It matters to him, and I appreciate that it matters.

I love that Phil is exceedingly generous in his view of others; he seems to see the light in people and the humor in hard moments and he seems to move through things with kindness and grace. He also projects such a secure sense of self. He knows who he is, what works for him, and he isn’t interested in pretending to be anything else.

I think they’re both really superb examples of living with mental illness. Phil is socially anxious and health anxious as all shit, but look at him!!! Look! At! Him! Dan manages chronic depression along with a whole fuckload of trauma, and look at him!!

They don’t mask much (I don’t think?), they’re just wonderfully, openly weird and celebrate their quirks. They candidly speak about their mental health shit but don’t let it stop them from living full, brave lives.

They are so respectful of their audience and really treat us as individual humans. They speak to us like people, they right their wrongs whenever possible, they have a brilliant ability to draw their audience into their content, they make people feel seen, they build so much creative work around what the audience gives them, and it’s really fucking cool how innate that has been for them from the start. They also just get it. They get internet culture, they get their fan base, and we’re lucky that they get it.

I think they’re so funny and are at their funniest when they aren’t trying too hard. Their banter is hilarious. The fainting during haircut story?? “I thought you were doing a little dance!” Dan’s hammock bracelet story?? “I was squinged up like a locust, like an accordion.” so funny!!!! They are so funny.

They have really taken the high road throughout their careers. They don’t talk shit, they stay out of drama, they treat others with decency and kindness, and they seem to be wonderful bosses too (such a good trait). When there have been endless opportunities for them to get dragged into pettiness or rightfully snap back at people, they have handled themselves with such grace

They understand the gravity of having influence. Despite obviously gunning for internet careers, they didn’t necessarily choose to have a significant influence on loads of young people, much like how most digital stars didn’t go into making digital content considering how much responsibility comes with a huge audience. It’s something I think kinda smacks a lot of people over the head as a sudden realization once their audience grows large enough. Some people then rise to that occasion and others don’t. Dan and Phil did.

They model creativity, kindness, collaboration, inclusivity, bravery, not taking yourself too seriously, self-growth and self love. It’s beautiful. All jokes aside, they are not terrible influences whatsoever. Look at the fan base they’ve cultivated! People found a home in them.

Also, they are hot.

[nutamused]

Some htf dynamics that I think are very sillay

Warning: mostly just rambles lol

Handy and toothy- THEY TOTALLY HAVE A SIBLING DYNAMIC!! I don’t think they’re actually related, but I think they just act like siblings and get along well despite their differences. Toothy would be like the younger brother and handy is older, and toothy would probably just be annoying asf to handy and handy just deals with it. Toothy also probably goes to handy for advice, and handy doesn’t rly care so he just says some bs so toothy can leave him alone

Flippy and lammy- I think these two silly heads would be sweet friends, and both also connect cause of their mental illnesses. I haven’t gone too into it, but I think lammy would be the “less stable” one of the two cause she’s younger and doesn’t rly know how to deal with her issues like flippy does. Flippy would try to help Lammy sometimes, and they would have tea together. I’d like to think that he tells her about his past, as she’s one of the younger tree friends who could actually understand his problems.

Toothy and sniffles- they are nerd loser besties!! They would totally geek over nerd stuff like those Splendid comics and anime or smthing else nerdy. Even tho they’re both nerds, toothy is the bigger loser cause he’s more of a wimp and just kind of a pushover (I’m trying to give him SOMEWHAT of a personality 😭), while sniffles doesn’t take shit and and be a bitch (also they are lovers, you can’t convince me otherwise ☺️)

Lammy and handy- they have a “normal person and crazy ass person” dynamic. I headcanon that it’s still pretty ambiguous whether lammy actually murders people or not, but she still helps with hiding bodies and cleaning up the messes that Mr. Pickels makes. Lammy usually tries to kill off anyone who catches her and Mr pickels cause she doesn’t want to go back to jail, but she trusts handy cause he just doesn’t care. He doesn’t mind lammy or Mr Pickels killing anyone, just as long as it doesn’t get in the way of his work. He is kinda put off by her creepy demeanor, but still tries his best to be respectful to her

Russell and cuddles- ENEMIES TO LOVERS!! I find it funny that many people put them against each other cause they both want giggles, but I wanna put a spin on that and make it so that they want EACHOTHER. (Also I hc giggles is a lesbian so she doesn’t give a shit abt them) Cuddles and Russell first act like they hate each other cause they both dated giggles, but secretly they want each other but are both too dumb to realize it. (Toothy and lumpy are the only ones that know abt it, but both cuddles and Russell are too dumb to listen to them)

That’s all I can think of for now but I will def have more later

[carmendeiact2whenplz]

Sometimes I wonder what the nameless bard's situation is like with regards to his family, especially since he seems he was very young yet played such a strong role in the rebellion. Did he have parents or parental figures? Was he an orphan, with just a wind spirit to keep him company? If not, did Venti know his family and pay them a visit after accending to godhood and taking their kid's image? Or did life under Decarabian micromanage families apart from each other and they never cared for him nor did he really know them, or was life expectancy not all that long under Decarabian's rule and orphans were common? I really really wonder what an average person's life was like under a god who doesn't understand humanity but micromanages and watches over everything and the sort of world the nameless bard would have grew up in that resulted in his befriending a wind spirit and leading a rebellion

To me, I’ve always headcanoned NB as someone who’s biological parents either died or left him when NB was very young/a toddler, so he most likely didn’t have any memories of them. He’s (many of the things i’m about to say are entirely headcanons/theories, with nothing in canon) lived out a lot of his life on the streets, relying on the hospitality of strangers and donations from his own performances to survive, but oftentimes he had to steal to survive in case those things failed him. He’s never gotten a proper education, but he’s thankful he managed to teach himself how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic, otherwise he couldn’t be where he is now (as in “being a rebellion leader known for freeing Mondstadt from its tyrannical leader”, and not as in “dead”).

As for wispti/wisp venti, I headcanon as NB having met them a few years before he died (I hc NB as having died around 16-17, so that means he would have met wispti around 12-13).

In my opinion, the order he met the old mond gang is met wispti -> met the redhaired warrior a few months later -> met Amos (NB met her in person and maybe had a few conversations but they still distrusted eachother) -> met Gunnhildr some time after that -> Amos joins the rebellion. The Old Mond Gang is extremely found family to me, and I hc that if things weren’t The Way They Were, Amos and/or RHW would have legally adopted NB (coparenting).

I think that most of the people in Old Mond didn’t have that much money, and people living past 50 was very rare. Not only was medicine not very advanced, but there was most likely not a lot of clean water and food available (farming either had very poor crop turnouts or needed special machinery and mechanics to even make possible), so illnesses and starvation were the most common causes of death, and the mental health of people weren’t much better. Interestingly enough, while it makes a lot of sense for there to be a lot of poorer people, I am curious if there were any extremely rich people other than decarabian himself. We don’t know much about any sort of nobility hierarchy, and since decarabian (probably) isn’t human, royalty couldn’t have been a status granted by a bloodline. The only thing we canonically know is that he did have slaves/servants, and Gunnhildr’s dad did work under him (nothing is elaborated on what he actually did). Which also begs the question of what role Amos actually had. I’ve seen so many thoughts and theories on what her and decarabian’s relation was like on a personal level, but not much about what it was like politically. While their marital status is unknown, if anything, canon hints that they aren’t married, but me personally I headcanon them as being married (mostly for political reasons) and Amos being the “Queen” of old mondstadt, second-in-command only behind decarabian himself, although how much power, money and influence she had prior to leaving him and/or joining the rebellion is up for debate.

Side note- I do find it funny to headcanon NB’s parents as being alive and having somehow fled to another nation. They’re having a conversation about how their son is a teenager at that point and is probably in his “rebellious phase”, being unaware until years later that his rebellious phase is over, not because he’s an adult but because he died. from the rebellion. that he staged. to kill a god

@finnitesimal

1) can we acknowledged how huggable Phil looks in this au? I’m like 95% sure the second anyone realizes or has otherwise been confirmed that they have permission to hug phil they MIGHT end up attached because soft but absolutely can yeet you in a pool woman, yeah?? can you hear me??? Missa getting carried?? hugging phil a long while???

2) how many times do you want to bet Missa finds a way to slip/give Phil lunch or snacks or something? Because if Missa notices Phil is lacking food Missa is gonna go ham making Phil five course meals, panic about if Phil thinks she overdid it, then pack each course for the next school week for Phil and her to consume “together”(unknown exactly HOW depending on how mentally ill you wanna imagine them Missa could be absolutely happy just knowing they’re both eating the same meal she made)

3) okay, bit of a personal thing- I personally am overly and I mean OVERLY empathetic, to the point I can tell if a friend in FRANCE despite bing in USA ARIZONA is UPSET or a week before someone’s family member almost gets HURT- so trust me when I fucking say when I assign someone a plushie and buy one for them I’m working 100% with the intention of giving my friends and family hugs and forehead kisses even though they’re who knows how far apart, okay now now, IMAGINE Missa and Phil do this- hey maybe not like ACTUALLY doing it for eachother but overly empathic Missa who has to be careful otherwise holy shit she can get mentally MAIMED by INTERACTING with people she doesn’t want to/need to x Phil who loves getting plushies, holloween, crow, skeleton, weird animal fusion looking baby stuffied animals(we HAVE seen and accounted 3 of these fuckers- a ram that looked like a penguin body and limbs, a zebra that DEFINITELY looked like it had a hippo skeleton, and a cat that texture wise reminded us of a pig (especially in the tail and ears) than anything else) for every event and acknowledgment of friends and hills she climbed like the first time she beat someone bloodied, and hey, if it means some cute charms to acknowledge the cute girl she saw? well- only Phil will ever know,

The way people are complaining that jinx isn’t the same character this season because she’s “sane” (aka not actively having an episode of psychosis, even though she literally did experience a hallucination when seeing vi with the enforcers), is strange.

also I find it strange that people talk about jinx and powder as if they’re separate people. they aren’t. jinx is powder, grown up and traumatized and mentally ill. like i completely understand that jinx likely struggles to realize this, because extremes are often the stable of bpd and she shows all the signs, and well—a personality disorder is a personality disorder.

but no jinx did not kill powder and taint her memory. powder is not gone. jinx can not exist without powder, and vice versa—because they are eachother. that’s what vi needs to realize and accept as well—her sister is not gone.

her sister just grew up and changed and is traumatized and mentally ill. it’s impossible for jinx to kill powder, or for powder to “come back,” the exact same she was. vi could never have powder back because the powder vi remembers was a scared, helpless little girl who depended on her for almost everything. powder was never going to remain that way forever—not if she wanted to survive.

powder has grown up and changed without her. that was always going to happen, it happens to everyone. if nothing happened as it did, their family was still alive, vi was never thrown in jail and powder never taken in by silco; powder still would’ve changed, somehow, someway. She’d likely still just be going by powder rather than jinx.

Whats wrong with predator 2018?

it’s been like 10 days i’m tired but i CANNOT stay silent anymore The world deserves to know. you will not believe how awful this movie is

1. the moment the movie starts you just understand that it…is not going to be good. it was made in 2018 so of course it has that edgy self aware marvel humor of Uhmm he’s right behind me isn’t he ? (and then you check shane black’s other works and he directed iron man 3 and everything suddenly make sense) LIKE IM SERIOUS there’s just a scene in the first 10 minutes where this Woman In Stem character goes Lol why did we name this thing The Predator? it’s more like a Hunter or a Huntsman it’s more like a Bass Fisherman LIKE WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? WHAT AM I HEARING RN? it’s so fucking stupid and i hate this type of humor so much like CAN U BELIEVE WE’RE IN A MOVIE? ABOUT THE PREDATOR (DUMBASS NAME (LOL))????

2. i mention the Woman In Stem character specifically because she is. also not good. i’m not going to act like the predator movies have always been the best with female characters (even 1987 has its issues) but at least they were actually BEARABLE. The girl character in this movie is just like. this annoying 2010s smartass quirky girl archetype that we put in our movie because you wanted Women(tm) right? there she is we even made her quirky!!! we’re not going to give her a single likable quality though. we’re going to write her Bad . is this what u wanted ?

3. which is not trying to imply that the other characters are written Good . they’re all written Bad they all fucking suck. none of them have any charm or likable qualities and there’s nothing to get invested in. AND THEY DON’T HAVE ANY FUCKING DYNAMICS BETWEEN EACHOTHER!!!! it’s like they just exist in the same space and that’s It . they don’t get any interesting relationships or interactions . they’re all just so nothing

4. like halfway through the movie it just turns into unapologetic US army propaganda—which is fucking ironic if you know what the original predator was made for (commentary about american terrorism in central america in the 80s under reagan)—the main character’s wife just starts suddenly going off about how he’s so cool and doing so much for his country and he’s in the army waowww wowww We need to shoot everyone who’s worked on this movie and im serious.

5. i…..do not know who this movie was made for. like who is it supposed to cater to? one of its main things is autism and mental illness and yet it has the shittiest portrayal of both. But especially autism. like what if we made a movie about how autism is the next step in human evolution (?!) and autistic people are like superheroes basically (?!?!!!?) and the entire plot hinges on the fact that The Predator wants to become autistic by stealing the autistic character’s autism dna (?!?!?!?!?!?!?? WHAT? WHY ARE THERE EUGENICS IN MY PREDATOR MOVIE? IS ANYONE ELSE SEEING THIS?) (and then the autistic character in question like. actually has unironic superpowers. look he gets overwhelmed by sounds but he can instantly understand and translate predator’s alien language!!!!!!!!) And then the next minute one of the characters says Lol isn’t it crazy how we can’t say the r slur anymore? Fucked up world. LIKE SERIOUSLY WHO IS THIS MOVIE FOR? I FEEL LIKE THIS MOVIE WOULD PISS OFF BOTH THE “WOKE” AND THE “EDGY ALT RIGHT” AUDIENCES EQUALLY . shane black probably thinks autism speaks is a charity i dont even know

6. too much predator in this movie. When i say that they should make a predator movie where every scene has the predator in it YOU SHOULDNT FUCKING LISTEN TO ME IM JUST AUTISTIC. a predator movie is a THRILLER The Fucking Predator himself should appear like. a few times at least until the climax. but nooo this 2018 ass movie just has the predator running around in every scene (btw this predator moves really fucking weird in a human way. Like they usually at least make him move semi alien-like and uncannily, but this movie didnt even bother with that) (also their design is uglier than the original) (also it suffers from the same problem as the 2010 movie by adding a Bigger Cooler Buffer Awesomer Deadlier New Predator LIKE WHO ASKED FOR THIS. WAS MY OG WIFE NOT ENOUGH FOR U) Anyway yeah if you didnt get it yet: this movie doesnt understand what impact or subtlety is. at all

7. the worst thing is with the finale. you see every predator sequel loves to reference the original 1987 movie because well, it’s iconic! it has a lot of meaningful moments and lines! Specifically in the ending of the original movie, where the main character asks the predator “what the hell are you?” and the predator echoes it back at him. Supposed to symbolize us army = monsters who kill without meaning yadda yadda u get it. anyway so in the 2018 movie finale they start to reference this moment too. the main character asks And what the fuck are you (ooo f bomb we’re SOOOO edgy and 2018core) and when the predator starts asking it back the main character just goes SHUT THE FUCK UP😂 and shoots him. it’s like. my hatred for this movie was indescribable at that moment. I’ve never actually genuinely watched a marvel movie so i just took people at their word when they said it was a genre of movie that fucking hated movies. but after watching the predator (2018) which is basically a marvel version of predator? yeah i get it. What if they made a movie that hated its source material and had 0 respect for it. and also hated its audience. and hated being a movie

8. they made the dogs ugly

[trinityalps]

alright so its come up so ; incest and emotional incest in iasip. 

LONG POST

MCPOYLES - canon incestuous pair of twins. I've talked before about how they parallel Reynolds-twins. Incest is normalized in their family to ‘preserve a bloodline’. I find it interesting that Liam is punished for trying to marry Maureen but Margarette is cheered on for sleeping with mac [and the twins try to harass mac into seeing her again]

CHARLIE / THE KELLY FAM - Uncle jack molested Charlie. they are definitely blood related. Mrs. Kelly either doesn't believe Charlie or doesn't care. Its also worth noting that while jack shows interest in other children, he continues to harass Charlie into adulthood. 

- nothing in this is confirmed but people have talked about the fact that bonnie and shelly share a last name and what that could potentially imply about there relationship. It’s a potential reason why Bonnie doesn’t see to much strangeness in how Jack treats Charlie. 

- Bonnie is seemingly incapable of living alone [presumably bc of her mental illness and disability] and has an intense reliance on Charlie for emotional support. This is subdued now that she lives with Mrs Mac BUT still means that Charlie was parentified at a young age. This is emotional-incest adjacent. It also appears that bonnie has/had a similar relationship with jack. 

- Bonnie did sex work around Charlie when he was a child - within his range of hearing. Also - troll toll theory - if you subscribe to that. 

- Charlie for a long time believed Frank might be his father and yet still shared a bed with him and had poor sexual boundaries with him. I think about how his relationship with frank - even if they were related - still would have been less incestous that his childhood experience. 

- slight tangent BUT Charlie appears to age regress / experience confusion about his age. Both in terms of actual number and stage of life. 

- ALSO I ALMOST FORGOT the seen in the gang gets whacked were charlie and dee talk about running away together and being eachothers mommy and daddy. 

MAC 

- the least overt incest themes of the gang BUT Mac associated his fathers expectations of him with the requirement to have sex with women. He puts himself in unpleasant sexual scenarios to please his father. 

DENNIS AND DEE [AND FRANK AND BARBARA] 

- Dee is the only person Dennis has said ‘i love you’ to on-screen. Once, in presenting himself as an alternative to finding dee a boyfriend.  

- Dee’s romantic and sexual life is a point of focus for the whole gang - especially Dennis. Same with her body. This is clearly learned from Barbara and continued into adulthood. 

- The way Dennis discusses Dee’s body reads as envy to me. Dee’s body shaming resolves around her being skinny [BIRDY] which is ironic coming from  someone with anorexia. Also Dennis is constantly walking a line of expressing his femininity without reading as non-masculine. He believes women have the ‘privilage’ of being feminine. He at least partiallly sees Dee as an extension of himself and a reflection of what he could have been if he had been born female and he is resentful that Dee doesnt do it as ‘well’ as he feels he could. He quite literally desires her body. 

- Dennis believes the mcpoyles when they tell him he impregnated dee while drunk. He is disgusted and terrified but not disbelieving. 

- Frank pimps out Dennis in the gang gets whacked. Parents controlling the sexuality of their children is actually a pretty common motif across the show. Also frank is physically abusive in this episode. 

- Frank telling Dennis and Dee that incest is disgusting as though that needs to be said. He assumes they’re sleeping together ... for some reason. 

- Barbara treats Dennis as a doll throughout his childhood. It reads as her trying to replace a husband she's not attracted to. Dee is belittled as though Barbara is afraid of having a daughter that's prettier than her.

-   Mentioned in the Charlie bullet points - Dee agreeing to run off with charlie and be his mommy [’ill take such good care of you’] 

-   Dennis’ mommy kink isnt just a mommy kink its an OEDIPAL COMPLEX he directs states he wants his [male] partners to make him feel like his mom made him feel / that he wants to make them feel like his mom made them feel as a power play.

do you think gallavich are ‘toxic’ or even abusive? i see takes like these a lot and i sort of understand where they’re coming from but also don’t at all.

when someone describes the toxicity it’s usually just about them both having problems and being not the fairest to eachother because of it. but that’s like… every relationship. mickey was closeted with an abusive homophobic father, ian knew from the start he was getting into that. ian’s bipolar, obviously that makes him have irrational thoughts about mickey leaving him/not loving him etc etc like every relationship is gonna have some sore spot of insecurities.

about abuse… i didn’t find the scene where ian hits mickey bad. they wrestle for a bit and then giggle like two teenagers in love and kiss. like that didn’t badly effect either they were so happy it was basically foreplay for them idk that’s how I see it!

the other time when mickey hits ian, yeah i think it was fucked that mickey beat ian in that scene but ian was also harassing a guy who just got beat and raped and promised his life away into a marriage he doesn’t want idk i find his response pretty excusable, and then he spends the rest of s4 caring for ian so.. i don’t care about that

i don’t know, i certainly don’t see how they’re abusive as there is no power dynamic and neither are badly effected by these fights. and i guess i see toxicity as a relationship that harms both people and ultimately shouldn’t exist, but shameless goes out of its way to show that they make eachother better people and literally cannot be with anyone else, because their unconventionality makes them be more comfortable with each-other. like they’d be wayyyy more toxic without eachother bc they’d never get better!!

this basically just became a rant for me but i sent this in bc ive been thinking about it a lot and thought you might have some different or interesting thoughts!

oh i absolutely agree with you. they're definitely not abusive & toxic has no specific definition but personally i wouldn't use that either

wrt: abuse you hit the nail on the head with power dynamics. i really think people will claim "abuse" a lot just to complain that they don't like it or that they think someone's not acting right (true. they often don't act right. because they're troubled people) without actually understanding the meaning

"toxic" doesn't have exact meaning but also, yeah, i take it to mean "worsens the health or self esteem of one of both parties without specific abuse" which ian and mickey demonstrably don't do. for their faults they really do their best together. Also i mean they had rough points. and if someone wants to use "toxic" to mean "treat each other in ways they shouldn't" then it's applicable some of the time.

probably anybody who liked a relationship between two women on tv in the 2010s (and possibly before, but i was too Small to know) can remember that "toxic" just meant like "remotely interesting or complex" from just... homophobes. blah, blah, this eventually got clowned on a lot and now we get memes about loving toxic yuri. but i still don't like the term.

& it's true that ian and mickey do have like. crises and become miserable at times during their relationship. but this is largely due to external factors. especially at that, ones that keep them apart: terry-juvie-terry-juvie-terry-ian unexpectedly developing mental illness that neither of them knows how to cope with-svetlana-monica-prison-prison-prison. again the idea of being into gallavich and not vehemently opposing the prison system is bizarre to me. um.

i've seen people call ian and mickey toxic to sort of temper the idea of seeing them as aspirational. but i think this is a misunderstanding of what people who say "i want a love like theirs" or whatever actually Mean. i don't think they're looking for the Mitski I Don't Smoke part. probably they want someone they love that much that they'd stick with them through whatever may come no matter how scary or horrific

i want to note i'm pretty sure in addition to ian essentially harassing a recent survivor of violent rape, that mickey, despite being a pretty violent guy (because of how brains process abuse etc etc) doesn't really hit ian until ian starts the physical side of the altercation. that is bananas restraint given the context. as a teenager. mickeyyyyy😭💕

absolutely someone who was NOT prone to violence would not react that way, but that's what ian was in fact looking for, it's something he finds largely charming and admirable about mickey & and it's something we can see mickey is horribly upset to see he is able to direct at ian

also, i see ian's goal in that scene as sort of seeking "punishment" for what he sees as his own guilt. it works and mickey acts a way i don't consider aspirational because ian was sort of using him to externalize his own self hatred. Man. fantastic scene 😭

& with ian hitting mickey like. that one is for sure weird for mickey not hitting back immediately. which i think ian almost certainly overthought later, contributing to his fears about his "burden" to mickey. ian can't see that his current state of volatility is temporary, because he's IN it. breakdowns always feel permanent at the time.

& i've seen people say that that was like.. very detrimental to mickeys gentleness? which. i don't really agree with. first of all mickey is clearly still a very loving person. but more to the point i see s5 as like, his level of absolute maximum panic, influencing how much of his. ugh. big sweet beautiful heart he's willing to actually show. which is why he didn't hit back. he knew ian was particularly vulnerable and going through it. and yeah this wound up a sweet moment anyway at that.

NTM i think ian was deliberately trying to invoke a little nostalgia with the way they fight and then fall into each other. and trying to find the violence in their love just keeps getting harder and harder (like having to deliberately trigger mickey by calling him a faggot) because they can remember each time how much they DONT like actually hurting each other. and y'know. this leads them to grow and improve as people 👍

& lastly of all. Yeah i cannot imagine how fucked they'd be with other people😭 they're very "ESH: never change, just never involve anyone else in what you've got going on" i mean we saw ian fuck over trevor in new and inventive ways. and the byron thing wasn't even a relationship mickey had any real interest in... brutal.
