#this attention and real care

[0318k]

most of my childhood memories are not happy. but i have this one that is still so vivid, and good. i was playing outside it was sunny, somewhere between spring and summer. i must have been less than 7/8 years old because we still lived behind my grandparents house. i could have been 5 or 6. i saw my grandpa sitting on this wooden bench he made himself, very simple. he sat there, he was drunk. he drank a lot, i mightve not understood what it all meant and why my grandma was mad, but i knew its something they didnt like him to do. i couldn’t understand why because no matter his state he was always so good to me, so kind. i still had this spring to my walk, i was always too happy to see him. he always talked to me, really talked to me,listened to what i wanted to say to him and he cared about it. i asked what are you doing grandpa and he said shhhh look. he was sitting on that bench and i came closer to peek. i saw a bee walking along his finger and of course my child mind already knew i should be scared of these i wanted to cry and said grandpa please watch out and wanted him to shake her off before she stings him. and he didnt do that, he just smiled and said please look she wont do anything to you if she doesnt feel threatened. she wont harm you if you wont try to harm her, look. and i looked at his calm and soft movements and at first i didnt really believe what he told me i waited for him to make a hiss and say ouch i waited for the moment she does hurt him but it didnt come and as it wasnt coming i was more and more curious following her little legs taking a walk on his hand. she stayed there for quite a while and flew away. then he smiled at me again. god if he knew how much these moments with him matter to me to this day. if he knew these are the defining moments of what love is to me to this day. i had so little, and it brought so much

if you are mad that bucktommy is getting more attention than henren, you should be fucking furious that a non-canon mlm ship has been getting more attention than henren for YEARS

it still frustrates me whenever i see people saying terusai wouldnt work because teruhashi wants a lot of attention and saiki hates attention... idk what show you guys watched but how did you get the idea that teruhashi wants to live like this the rest of her life 😭 when she consistently shows how much she actually hates it and its very clearly implied that she only keeps doing it because its all she knows, she thinks shes obligated to, and she believes its the only way for her to get validation

anyway to end the series on ganondorf tp's writing, my take (which isn't canon but arguable as a valid "death of the author" read imo) is that he is at his most iredeemable AND that's because he has zero things left to lose and no community left and his goal doesn't even make sense anymore he is parasitic and a ghost and pathologically obsessed by his own godlike legitimacy because that is the only thing he still has and it has prolonged his life in a horrible diminished state in a nightmare dimension so SURELY it must mean something right right RIGHT

I need to watch Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure to reach my final conclusion on if she's even attracted to men

I feel like people complaining about Ted Lasso pushing a narrative that insists on forgiving too much (like the racism Sam experienced) are missing the point a little bit.

The show didn’t tell us that Sam should have ignored the situation. As a matter of fact, just like with the airline plot line, it was shown that standing up and using his privileged position to talk about these issues was the right choice for Sam. But it’s not the easy choice. It’s not the safe one either. And there ARE consequences.

“If you really want to piss them off, forgive them” Sam’s dad says (more or less) and it doesn’t mean that they had a right to do that or that Sam doesn’t get to hurt or be upset by it (or that they shouldn’t be punished for it if possible). The thing is that the vandalism was aimed at upsetting Sam, at making him angry at the world, at making him feel unsafe and unloved and unwelcome. By letting it go, “fighting forward”, Sam wins.

Anyway, Ted Lasso has always been a show proponent that forgiveness is a possibility and a necessity for us to move forward without carrying the resentment and distrust with us forever. It’s also always been transparent about the fact that forgiving is the hardest choice, the one complicated both for us and the person who is receiving that forgiveness even when they might not be, or consider themselves, worthy of it.

Did the people who trashed Ola’s deserve forgiveness? No. Was Sam entitled to his anger and his pain and the desire to fight back? Hell yes. And the show doesn’t tell him not to feel any of those things. It just says… forgive them anyway. Be angry, and forgive.

Excuse me, allow me to *changes wig and hat* AHEM

To our esteemed cat maid,

I see your infatuation with Rook has been wavering, as of late. It seems those swimming in their own degeneracy aren’t completely unsalvageable. I acknowledge the talent and skill you possess, but they’re all wasted on your idolization of mages and the like. Not that I’d want my image drawn by your hands, of course, I’ve no need for frivolous displays of vanity. …Especially not after those salacious works to come out of you. There’s still time to reflect upon the media you’re consuming and endorsing. It’s not too late to change for the better.

got to episode 92 on my rewatch. the one when they visit beau's family and beau's mum is so surprised to see her and beau meets her little brother for the first time and realises maybe it lines up that her parents had another kid (a son like they wanted) when they sent her away but she tries to bond with him anyway and gives him her necklace and and and 🥲🔫

this chapter/episode gives me poetry emotions. like i don't even need to read poems about attention & transience & quiet beauty & connection & loss & growth and about sharing them with other people anymore because i just hear origami say "thank you for the beautiful sunset" and bam. same feelings.

I've thought about this so many times before. Art is quite literally defined as the expression of human creative skill and imagination. There's nothing human about AI.

hi people can see your tags!! i know we like to talk about how 'safe' screaming in the tags feels and to an extent it is safe, indirect communication. but it is communication and the OP is very likely to see them. if its not something you'd say to them don't put it in the tags, maybe. (:

Hey Baba, it seems like you've been seeing a lot of yucky stuff online right now. A lot of people who aren't remembering their manners and are forgetting that there's people behind a screen. I know you like your screen time but please remember that the world isn't all like that okay? Some people are different online and forget their values and let's remember that these days, algorithms perpously show you things that'll make you upset. Yes, yes it's not very fair, is it sweetheart. Please remember to take some breaks and that the world isn't really like that. It's so important to protect yourself. Yes, silly even if you think you don't deserve it; because you do.

I see a lot of modern au with Hob being experienced in dating and self assured but “I’ve got no chance with him but I’ll still take my shot and try” attitude. Now it’s all good and fun but— please do consider the following: Dream being “You’ve got no chance with me” and Hob being “Oh I’m getting you darlin’” attitudes. Is Dream a few leagues above him? Maybe. Does he stand a chance? Who cares. People who think about chances are the people who don’t actually get shit. Hob decided that he will get Dream on at least a date and oh he will do that. And if he gets more? And boy, he is planning on it, what’s the better!
