i'm aware that "if not his friend than mine" is not meant like this but i love the idea of Telemachus being like "lol sucks to suck for that guy, i got a new cool friend <3"

Scavacule is so fun because you get so many dynamics between different pairs packed into one big dysfunctionally functional relationship that despite everything somehow WORKS

[saturnsorbits]

One day I’m going to write an Ochako character piece where she gets sick of standing in Deku’s shadow and breaks off their relationship in order to find herself - only for the media to begin constantly linking her to other Hero’s in the hopes of causing/unearthing drama.

She loses herself, succumbs to the idea that she’ll only ever be as good as the males she’s attached to and sinks…

It’s funny, she thinks, for someone who can control gravity - she sure does feel heavy.

Dark type specialists are interesting to me.

Actually, any trainer that specializes in one type interests me, because I believe that the trainer reveals a lot about their personality, morals, passions and beliefs through the type that dominates their team of Pokémon. All of the elements have positive and negative aspects; you can have a water-type specialist like Kofu who represents the bounty of the ocean, how it feeds us, how we rely on it for food. At the same time, we see Team Aqua's Archie as a symbol of all that we fear about the sea: all consuming waves, storms, drowning, being stranded.

There's no such thing as a "bad" type, but I believe that specific Pokémon types have more stigma than others. Ghost, Poison of course, but I'm going to focus on the Dark type right now.

All of the antagonistic teams across the board have grunts, admins and leaders that use dark types; dark type Pokemon are aggressive attackers, and prominently have the Intimidate ability. Characters such as Grimsley, Nanu and Piers are heavily implied to be social loners, struggle with their moral compass, and are more often than not, seen as less-than-savory in their personalities.

Even NPC characters such as punks, delinquents and street thugs are usually seen carrying dark type Pokémon in their squad. What im saying is that these trainers have a tendency to become criminals.

Dark-type specialists seem to lean morally grey, or chaotic. These characters are using Pokémon that they can relate to, tame efficiently and remain in sync with. To understand a dark type means to know what it's like to be in sullen, deep, overwhelming feeling.

Since prehistoric days, we as humans have feared the dark. It's the unknown. It's a factor we cannot predict. Anything can be in the dark-- things are hiding in there. Are they hiding from larger beasts that are stalking the shadows-- or are THEY using the black corners as the predators, waiting to strike? You're only safe in the dark if you know how to use your teeth and surrender to some of your base, primal instincts.

I'm rambling about all of this because Giacomo as a dark-type specialist is so interesting to me. He's not-- BAD by the standards of other Pokémon antagonists. Clearly the kid is loyal to his friends, his team's cause, and knows when to back down and stop. Here's the thing though: plenty of other terrible people are also overly loyal to their friends and their cause to a fault. (Team Rocket, Team Flare, etc etc.)

What I'm saying is that the kid is decent in attitude, but he's using dark types for a reason. He's smart, terribly smart; he was counsil president after all, wrote up the code of conduct for Team Star and got them to listen. He's a good trainer, Giacomo has a Kingambit for fuck's sake, that isn't an easy Pokémon to evolve up, let alone work alongside. He plays dumb and acts immaturely because he IS still just a teenager. But he's not afraid to be manipulative and cunning in order to get what he wants; zero impulse control means that he's going to follow his base instincts and do what he needs to win, to be safe and to be sure that he has the advantage over someone. He chases dopamine. He chases thrill. He dislikes adults, doesn't trust them at all. At the same time, he takes the validation of an adult and runs with it.

He's such a toss up. He has the potential to become a really, really awful person as an adult. Giacomo is easily manipulated, and if he believes what he is doing can potentially help his friends, he's not going to question it because of the poor impulse control. Or, he can turn out to be a brilliant trainer who uses his knowledge to overwhelm opponents as a gym leader. It all depends on the adults who wind up surrounding him, and the choices he makes on his own. (Think Anakin Skywalker; giving in to the light side or the dark side.)

But at the end of the day, he IS a dark type specialist, and he isn't above playing dirty and being shady, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Giacomo will never be a "good person" by accepted societal standards.

thinking abt tantrumcore with qu^ckity (put below bc this is a relatively dark side of regression)

he mainly regresses in the calm after panic attacks, which means he can wail and kick his feet instead of just clenching his fists and ignoring how his feathers bristle. some days qu^ckity starts whacking his own head to try to get the thoughts out because it’s all these big things that make his head hurt when he thinks about it. phil really is a nice cg and leans towards being a softie but some days qu^ckity gets so overwhelmed and self destructive he just has to hold him back. he tries to make it feel like a hug.

also qu^ckity who regresses and is a calm lil guy except with t<chno. he refuses to get a cg (Charlie helps just because he’s excited that qu^ckity wants to go do more fun things) but his heart is racing in the middle of an argument and it all just drops. but he just keeps on stumbling back and hitting wildly at t<chno while he’s crying. t<chno is very unsurprisingly good at wrangling people (two younger brothers and a friend/trainee who love to run crazy and get into fights) so he gets qu^ckity just in the space needle. and he doesn’t want t<chno in las nev^d^s because it’s HIS and why is this jerk on HIS LAND but maybe he whines every time t<chno starts to leave and he can’t understand why. t<chno isn’t much to pursue it but he’s available and he lets qu^ckity know (who is more scared to tell someone else about his regression than t<chno). it dulls down but sometimes t<chno moves too fast or just looks too scary and qu^ckity starts crying and yelling

so tired so, so tired. tired. i'm tired. i'm awake but i'm tired but i would like LEISURE TIME but i am tired but i didn't even finish all my Tasks, my Learning. so tired

[boomerang109]

what if capitalism is making the one job i thought was possible for me feel unattainable not because i haven’t literally been doing it since age 13 but because it’s not well paid enough so until you get into a higher position you have to work multiple jobs and i knew that i always knew that but. fuck. why is adulting going to be so exhausting. what if this really is the best time of my life? being a depressed college student? what if it’s downhill from here?

[patronsaint-prometheus]

I love having autism until I infodump about something and then I just hear “why do you keep bringing that up when you know none of us give a shit?” on repeat in the back of my head for the rest of time.

[sickgraymeat]

(Yes I’m aware my employers are the coolest and I’m very grateful) this feels like when pb’s like “I need to stay up and take care of Goliad it’s incredibly important that I do it because I have a better understanding of her brain on a chemical level than anyone else. Not only that but I’m planning on doing it and will do it regardless of my mental state” and f&j were like “hey we’re a kid and a dog why don’t we do it” and she’s immediately like “ok zzzzz”

[glass-trash-bab]

It's almost 1 a.m. and I'm not even sleepy. Help?

[aeide-thea]

me like: i wonder what would happen if you tried to quilt partially/fully-felted roving to an outer cotton shell. like could you make weird hippie sweatpants or would getting the wool felted enough to be quiltable onto the cotton without an inner woven layer to sandwich it in place make it too not-fleecy to have the right feel. 🤔

ꔛ

Husband Seungmin who cried when he saw you walking down the aisle with a big smile on his face thinking that he’s the luckiest man on earth to marry you. He couldn’t wait for the priest to finally announce you as husband and wife then kisses you in front of your friends and family. 

Husband Seungmin whose love language is act of service and words of affirmation with a little bit of gift-giving. 

Husband Seungmin who is still shy about engaging in physical touch. But when he does, he gets really clingy and refuses to let you go. You never complain. He also loves looking at you dreamingly while you sleepーwhispering how much he loves you and kisses your forehead before going to sleep, hugging you tightly. 

Husband Seungmin who cooks every morning before going to workーsometimes at nightーand holds your hand while brewing coffee as he steals kisses whenever you aren’t looking. 

Husband Seungmin who would take the day off from work just to stay home and take care of you when you’re sick. He won’t allow you to move and insist that he’ll do everything you ask for. 

Husband Seungmin who gets a bit possessive when someone who seems interested in you makes a conversation so he’d kiss your lips out of the blue and say, “We’re married.” then show off your wedding rings. 

Husband Seungmin who doesn’t pressure you to have kids with him since he respects whatever decision you make. It doesn’t matter anyway, as long as the two of you are together, that’s enough for him. 

Husband Seungmin who is still feeling nervous when he asks you out on a date. It would always feel like the first timeーhis heart racing, cheeks red as a tomato, the giddiness and sparks, everything goes in slow-motion. He would take you to your favorite places and have the best time. 

Husband Seungmin who loves tea time and is literally serving you hot gossip from workーlaughing at how everyone was so dumb and problematic in the industry. 

Husband Seungmin who used to prefer texts over calls but now he tends to call you often because he misses you. He would also wait for you to hang up first.

Husband Seungmin who would hug you tightly while kissing the crown of your head and whisper words that might comfort you when you’re breaking down and vulnerable in front of him. He would refuse to leave until you feel better. 

Husband Seungmin who makes weird noises and funny faces just to make you laugh. 

Husband Seungmin who acts like a puppy when he wants to be babied and asks for a kiss. 

Husband Seungmin who treats you like royalty. 

Husband Seungmin who gets over the moon when you surprise him with lots of (useful) Sanrio-related gifts. Mostly Pochacco and Pompompurin with a little bit of Cinnamon Roll. 

Husband Seungmin who loves to take A LOT of pictures of you with his phone or camera. You’d complain (playfully) about his storage getting full but he doesn’t mind because you are his muse. 

Husband Seungmin who brings you flowers on random days because they remind him of you. 

Husband Seungmin who kisses your lips intimately because he wants to. It could happen multiple times a day which could lead to something moreーmost of the time. 

Husband Seungmin who would walk away after an argument and come back hours later to apologize. 

Husband Seungmin who doesn’t want you to see him cry but gives in when you hug him. 

Husband Seungmin who gets brutally honest, cries over silly things, and does his little twerk when drunk but still cute as hell. 

Husband Seungmin who always scores 98-100 on coin karaoke and gets cocky. He knows you love listening to him when he sings and gladly does the favor when you ask him to—wherever, whenever. 

Husband Seungmin who is always good at everything. 

Husband Seungmin who doesn’t say “I love you,” most of the time but expresses it in different ways or says it with the things he feels about you. 

Husband Seungmin whose smile is the most precious in the world. You promised not to take it away and never make him cry. 

Husband Seungmin who loves you so much, makes you happy, never fails to make your heart beat, makes you feel loved and accepts you no matter what your flaws are.

Idk if I've talked about this before, but I saw someone post about why people who have been trying to shift for so long might not be shifting (this might not apply to everyone, but it really clicked with me). They only explained why, so I'm gonna talk about the solution I came up with.

They specifically said that it was not tough love, but psychological facts: it's possible that your mind registers shifting as a goal in THIS reality.

Think about that for a second. This is the part that really got me when I started to think about it. When you are here, in your CR, your goal is to shift, right? So what if our minds interprets that as a goal IN THIS REALITY, as simple as going to bed thinking "oh, I'm going to unload the dishwasher in the morning." Because shifting is just aligning with your DR self, and guess what?? Your goal in your DR is not to shift! That blew up my brain a little bit.

"But i want to shift" you know how everyone keeps saying "you are already in your DR"? I interpreted that for so long as motivation. It's not. It's the process. To align with your DR self, just like aligning with another person in your CR you have to have the same goals.

So your goal is no longer to shift. Stop thinking like that. Your goal IS NOT TO SHIFT. Waking up where you are meant to has never been a goal, but an expectation. Your goal is to wake up and go downstairs to have breakfast with your DR friends or family. Your goal is to wake up and get to class on time to ace that Defence Against The Dark Arts quiz you totally forgot to study for until the night before. Your goal is to wake up and win that Oscar, to break that curse, destroy the One Ring, you fucking name it babes.

I don't know if this is really dumb and obvious, but it wasn't for me before, so I really hope this post helps someone else too.
