my favorite thing about the ranchers will forever be that their entire relationship was built on Trust. they failed 2/3 of scotts couples games but they objectively did the best out of all the pairs because they never got mad or annoyed when the other failed

tango couldve gotten mad at jimmy for getting hit by the goat but he just laughed it off. jimmy couldve gotten mad at tango for not catching him with the water at the fall but they both just joked about it instead. tango even WILLINGLY let them both get down to half a heart in the powdered snow but jimmy never picked the snow up with the bucket, and even asked tango if he was proud of him for that which he WAS. ("did you appreciate that i didnt pick it up?" "i appreciate that trust! that says a lot, my friend!")

i feel like theyre genuinely one of if not THE healthiest relationship in the entirety of the life series cause they never got mad at eachother for any of their faults. tango lost their green life episode one in a stupid way; out of everyone on the server jimmy had the most reason to leave his soulmate but he DIDNT. jimmy forgave him for dying the second tango explained what happened (he even made digs at himself??? ("i feel like im gonna die in the future and youre gonna have to take the punishment of it")) and they recovered the best they couldve in that situation

jimmy even trusted tango enough to let him go into the Exact Same Cave he JUST died in to recover his stuff and later let him go down to the deep dark alone to Intentionally Summon A Warden when if it was anyone else they wouldve not let tango out of their sight for the whole season. hell, tango held it against himself for dying more than jimmy did. they basically just met after being strangers for two seasons yet they already trust eachother more than some season-long alliances

long story short, the ranchers are everything to me and i love them very much

literally cannot stop thinking about this page btw. 'he didn't intend to hide it from you forever but it was too much to share with you at such a young age' but why didn't Shiba himself tell Chihiro sooner? he's old enough now to learn how to fight and to kill and to hunt down the stolen blades, but not to know the truth about what those weapons were used for?? once again we have this weird contradiction between Shiba wanting to protect Chihiro and his memory of his father and Kunishige's legacy while simultaneously allowing & enabling him to pursue this violent, dangerous quest for vengeance. this information about the Malediction & the enchanted blades could have even been helpful to that mission from the start but revealing it would have meant shining a light on a side of Kunishige that hurts Chihiro to see—not because he blames him, but because he knows he lived with the weight of the same guilt Chihiro himself is amassing and repeatedly resigning himself to hell for. at this point Chihiro has both seen & experienced what living with that guilt can do to a person, and while Shiba softens the blow by telling him truthfully how much his very existence helped Kunishige, I can't imagine this doesn't just. haunt a person. and I keep thinking about how many times we've seen people express relief that Kunishige wasn't alone all that time bc they probably knew how it would have eaten away at him without a reason to hope, a reason to try. a guiding light. rolling myself into the sea.

oh, shut the fuck up. absolutely ridiculous for you to accuse me of being self-hating just because i don't think misandry is real. gimmie a fuckin break. trans men ARE oppressed-- we are oppressed BY TRANSPHOBIA. i believe i was oppressed-- BY TRANSPHOBIA. i wasn't "brainwashed" or whatever into thinking that trans women have it worse, i LEARNED that trans women have it worse through my decades of interacting with trans people. like... sorry you fell for propaganda that makes you think that every single minority needs their own special buzzwords in order to talk about their experiences? sorry you're such a whiny baby that you can't handle not being the most oppressed person in the room? as if saying "men aren't oppressed for being men" is the same as saying "i don't see or value you as a trans man"??? holy projection, batman!

Skimmed it, will block

"men aren't oppressed" is radfem talking point. Good luck with that and fuck off <3

Oh I just saw

"that every minority needs their own special buzzwords" holy COW BATMAN! You sound extremely like every right winger. Could it be that every minority DOES face unique struggles not entirely shared by other groups? Maybe examine your biases a little. Never unpacked your conservative upbringing huh

And once again: transandrophobia describes the oppression trans men face. We do face unique struggles.

Transphobia alone doesn't cover the shit Abigail Shrier puts out. It's SPECIFICALLY and SOLELY targeting trans mascs.

Again. Don't use the word if you're allergic, but leave others alone.

my favorite omori theory of all time is the one where everything in Sunny's headspace must follow back to at least one thing in Faraway Town! There's some obvious ones like Space Ex-Boyfriend being a comic book character and the appearance of Neighbor's Room being derived from the treehouse.

But even in the smallest, most unnoticeable details still apply to this rule. Like the Dino's Dig food pyramid coming from a book about the food pyramid Sunny read as a kid, or Jash coming from Pet Rocks(and the company from which the Sproutmole Eater arcade machine in Gino's is from)

Though, there's one in particular that stands out among others. And that's the Present! They're very easy to acquire and use in Headspace, in fact their one of the first items you're able to purchase from Mailbox in Forest Playground. For such an easily attainable and probably overlooked item though, they bare a significant connection to the truth(at least a more significant connection than others like it)

When reading the descriptions of your Toys, the Present reads: "It's not what you wanted... Inflicts ANGER on a friend or foe." Which is eerily reminiscent of the friend's Christmas gift for Sunny, and his resentment toward the violin the more he is forced to practice for the recital with his sister.

It's also an emotion changing item, but specifically one that makes a party member or foe/boss angry. On the day of the recital, Sunny threw his violin down the stairs in frustration. "It's not what you wanted..." Could've easily been used as a description for this item to make a friend or foe sad too, but it doesn't.

In conclusion I believe that the Present item is a parallel to Sunny's frustration with playing an instrument, and story wise a way for Omori to further disguise the truth :D

This post reminded me of the time I got entranced by the idea of in-universe rpf and wrote an "excerpt" of a hypothetical accidental selfcest fanfic.

The Lore tm is that in a universe where Bernard never met Tim, he became a prolific Capes RPF writer as well as conspiracy theorist, and that the popularity of the Bruce Wayne/Batman ship gave him the fun idea of pairing up the Wayne kids with Batclan counterparts, which lined up surprisingly well! Tim, who frequents the Gotham Capes RPF tag for normal reasons (as a kid he wrote a surpisingly popular series of gen fics where his self insert oc got adopted by Batman, he was like 11 don't judge him) sees this fic and finds certain details, such as, y'know, shipping his family members with themselves, highly suspicious. He must investigate this person and find out how much they know.

“What are you doing here, Nightwing?” Officer Grayson sighed. He looked tired, the hero noted. He understood that. A city like this could make a man tired in his soul. “The case is over. There's no reason to see eachother anymore.”

It didn't take long for Nightwing to find a reason. “There's no Batman in Bludhaven,” he said. “I need to take allies where I can get them, and you… I think you're in the same boat.” He remembered the photos of young, pretty Richie Grayson, smiling in the tabloids,  and thought about how the force could beat down someone like that. “I know you want to make Bludhaven a better place. We can keep helping eachother, working together. We need eachother.” That was all true. But none of it was why Nightwing had come to the officer's apartment balcony.

Grayson rubbed a hand over his face. “I don't think you understand how much trouble I could be in. If the other officers found out I was slipping information to a vigilante…” He frowned, the dark circles beneath his eyes even more pronounced with the expression. “They don't trust you.”

“Do you?” Nightwing couldn't help but ask.

Grayson clenched his jaw, and his gaze on Nightwing became piercing. Looking at him, the vigilante knew—he had been beaten down, but not broken. His free spirit compressed into something stronger, harder. There was fire in his eyes. “I don't know,” the officer said, “should I?”

In some ways, the display of dominance was adorable, and Nightwing couldn't help flashing his signature sharp grin. “You can,” he promised. “It's up to you. But I could show you.” He hopped onto the balcony's railing with his inhuman grace, and held out his hand. “If you put your trust in me, I'll make it worth your while.”

The man looked dubious, gaze flicking from Nightwing's shielded eyes to his outstretched hand. “How?”

“You used to be an acrobat, didn't you, officer?” the hero asked.

Grayson looked away. “That was a long time ago.’”

“Well,” said Nightwing, still grinning that wicked grin, teeth flashing in the dim light, “how would you like to really fly?”

The officer's eyes went wide, and for a moment, Nightwing worried he would close the door, shut him out, and it would all be over. Then a determined look swept over him, and he stepped forward, reaching out.

Grayson's hand slipped into his, and Nightwing took the leap.

"If you really think zionism is evil/all zionists need to die then you think 90% of Jews are evil and need to die. That should tip you off to the fact that you've been misinformed on what it means and are instead being fed the protocols of the elders of zion by people hiding antisemitism behind a very legitimate cause in order to get away with it in that causes' name as 'justice'"

Expanding on my bpd green and avoidant red. I think green swings between horrific guilt for being mean to red when they were young and wanting to make it up to him (red has already forgiven him but green is still worried that he might change his mind) VS reds avoidant behavior confusing and irritating green bc he's trying to be honest and vulnerable but red is Not. (green later feels guilty for even being irritated with red at all.)

Red genuinely listens to what green is saying and nods in understanding, but is Not sure how to comfort green beyond being very direct and matter of fact: "I'm not going to leave." "No I'm not upset with you." Which. Like true and Red is being Honest however it comes off sounding a bit...cold? Distant?

Like red is just stating facts without actually opening up in detail about how things/their past makes him feel. Like it's "I'm not upset about that" and nothing about how it made him feel at the time, or his thought process about why he isn't upset anymore or if he ever was, or anything like that.

It lacks the true vulnerability and emotional labour that comes with actually talking through uncomfortable or serious things with someone important to you, instead of talking about things as if you're an outside observer. From greens pov red is closed off and it makes his insecurities and frustrations worse when red doesn't respond the way green wants/needs him to.

Their conflicting attachment styles and approach to discussing/processing difficult topics causes a lot of tension for awhile after their reunion. Idk if they'd be dating yet but if not it might also drive green insane that he Likes red but feels like red must not feel the same bc of how "closed off and distant" he is.

Then he feels guilty for being upset at that because "of course he wouldn't like someone who bullied him as a kid/whatever else green is insecure about" Meanwhile green is one of like 3 people red would willingly talk to and he likes green very very much. Always has and always will. To him it seems kind of obvious so he doesn't need to say it out loud (green is absolutely dying at the lack of assurance of mutual feelings platonic or not).

Reds truly not inconsiderate or being distant intentionally. Hes just srsly totally inexperienced with externalizing how he feels instead of internalizing it and ignoring it in favour of more important things (anything other than his own feelings)

It's seriously emotionally draining for both of them to have completely clashing approaches to Whatever they have going on. It's okay though. They figure it out eventually though. Green learning that red really means what he says, there isn't a hidden meaning or fine print that would make red change his mind/secretly be lying. And red learns that green/people who care about him really genuinly want to know how he feels and that he doesn't need to be 100% self reliant when there's people who Want to support him and desperately want him to be more open and be more outspoken with how he feels/his opinions/etc.

Side effect is red goes from refusing to voice a single thought to being more outspoken than predicted and very bluntly voicing(signing) how he feels. Which is usually "I want to leave." "This is boring" "that guy is annoying" "he has no idea what he's talking about. It's more like [insert random fact about pokemon behavior.]"

Green is thankful red is more outspoken but also very thankful that most people don't know the hater ass stuff red is saying to him via sign language. Red isnt actually a hater of course he just still doesn't mince his words and to it very literally when green asked him to tell him what he's thinking more often. Its okay green finds it charming.

It is funny to think that Penelope knew Odysseus was coming because she assumed he was pissing off the gods, but I wonder if she recognized the storm as something similar to the one from the ocean saga.

The obvious answer is just that she saw it as a sign from the gods more than anything, but the last time the windbag got opened, Odysseus’ fleet was close enough to see Ithaca. I wonder if that meant that Penelope was close enough to see them— or, more specifically, the “far from the norm” storm that Poseidon created.

Hey students everywhere, I'm proud of you. You are so much more than enough.

Hey my maggots who're stuck in the education system right now. This is a long post but... but I know how many of you need to hear this, so please do. I just want you to know...

I'm proud of you. I'm so, so proud of you.

For continuing to survive in a system that's so bullshit that it can fail you at art, give you a grade for composing music, decide your seat in a medical college based on multiple choice questions about obscure ecology statistics (that are probably outdated), and decide whether or not you should study literature based on your summary of a pre-approved book.

I'm so proud of you.

i see you, I know you're exhausted, you're losing the love for subjects that were once your passion but now are ruined, you're burnt out and scared, you're studying things you don't even care about.

I know there are some of you who feel guilty even taking the time to read these words. I know, because I was there.

I'm proud of you for every second you spend doing the things you love, for every second you've spent trying so hard, for every second you've spent resting, for every second you've spent doing ridiculous things that made you smile and laugh and cry, for every second you studied and every second that you didn't, for every second you've spent wasting time because hey the point is that you lived that time and that's amazing in itself.

It's a fucked up system. It's broken and deeply flawed on every level, from the administration to the teaching to the budget to the students' mentality to the politics to the inclusivity... it's all fucked.

The more you recognise that, the closer you'll get to maybe realising that truth. That your talent and love for a subject, for an art form, for a branch of science or mathematics or a language, cannot possibly be measured in fucking numbers or alphabets from A to F.

The very idea is ridiculous, yet here we are, believing it.

Let's not anymore. It'll take a while to push it out of our head. But we can do it.

Yeah?

Tell yourself, and the people you know who are at any stage of education right now, all of this. It's not your fault. You're doing so well. I'm proud of you. So much of this is out of your control, with factors that shouldn't matter affecting your grade, with things happening that you can't help. So I'm proud of you. For being you and living. I'm sorry if you don't hear it enough, because you should.

I'm so, so proud of you.

Ive been working on this extension/ AU of Wither Into Grave Dirt (by @etheralisi ) for a while now, and it’s finally ready to post!

The basic idea is Night at the Museum.

Sometime after dipper is unearthed, he’s sent to a museum for a human origins exhibit. Seeing so many people everyday makes him want to try out interaction, but he’s too shy right now to start working again. Luckily there are some new night guards, Maeus and Cash. (who also happen to be Matthews and Card reincarnations)

Dipper starts animating the exhibits, and is found as the culprit before long. He manages to convince them not to report him, and chills out on the exhibits. He was controlling them the whole time anyway, they weren’t good company. Except the giraffe skeleton….

In Rise of the Necroprancer it’s stated that horses lack souls, and are easy to reanimate because of it. Giraffes are similar enough that it applies. So Wobbles becomes the newest resident!

Because Dipper is missing a leg, he has to find different replacements throughout the museum. He has to make sure to put them back in good condition before the museum opens though.

Some notes:

Maeus and Cash think that Dipper is a human spirit trapped in its vessel

At some point before ( or after) Dipper “died” civilization collapsed, essentially re-staring human (and others) history. So the society this takes place in is not that much more advanced than us.

Dipper is much cheerier than WIGD, but he sometimes lets it slip that he’s got stuff going on

Many of the reforming societies worshipped Alcor, but much of their history was lost. His symbols have come to mean many things, often used in governments

Thee are several artifacts and legends that catch scientist’s attention, for their depictions of a god called Alcor. The legends are found in almost every culture and species, but nothing like it has been recorded in millennia

If anyone has questions on this, please ask!! I love talking about my ideas!

I wanna do one of those cute intro posts for eclairette that has info about their canonverse and maybe some of their main aus that I think about, but my brain keeps overcomplicating it waaaaa
