in case you are in the mood to feel devastated here’s an alternate way of viewing charles’ response to edwin’s confession:

we know that charles kinda puts edwin on a pedestal- yes they are partners but there is a bit of a hierarchy between them. charles just looks up to and admires edwin in so many ways while constantly looking down on and being really hard on himself. he puts on his big happy persona because he thinks that people wouldn’t like him if they actually got to know him.

so when edwin confesses, it’s like a blow to him. he took his charming persona too far and went and tricked the most important person in the world into thinking he was worthy of love. and it’s worse because he does love edwin in that way, which is exactly why he can’t let him know that. charles still believes that he is like his dad, and he saw exactly what his parents’ relationship did to his mother.

he thinks that loving edwin in the way that he wants to would only cause more pain to this boy who has already been through far more than he deserves. so he blinks back his tears, attempts the same charming smile he’s used all these years, and dishes out the gentlest non-rejection in the history of forever

I have a simple fascination and joy in the thought that, for the Ghost King AU, most of the time Danny is literally so normal compared to other ghosts.

Like, he’s a kid. He looks like a kid. Going by canon appearances, he is the most human looking ghost we see (aside from Ellie). Even Plasmius is more inhuman, which is where all the vampire jokes come from. Every single one of this enemies is off even in a human disguise. They’re not human, and people don’t expect them to be.

So aside from the implications of Danny looking like a child ghost, I wonder what other characters would think if they summon the Ghost King, expecting this huge monstrosity worse than anything they’ve ever seen, and getting a totally normal human-looking kid.

I’d be terrified. Because if horror movies have taught us anything, it’s that the most innocent and normal looking people are the worst monsters you’ve ever seen.

Like, what is he hiding??

A year was not so long after all. He prepared her for the day when he would leave. But when the moment came, he found himself less prepared than she. For the first time in his life, Spock thought about returning from a mission, wondered whether or not he would survive. She had no one else, and that was a disturbing thought.

Back on board the Enterprise, he opened his case to unpack his few belongings and found things not quite as he’d left them. Tucked in at the bottom under all the folded clothes, Saavik had hidden away her knife. Spock stood in the privacy of his cabin turning it in his hand, remembering every word of their good-bye.

Some small doodles based on the above passages :)

i know i’m not gonna be a teenage girl forever, i know things will change and i won’t always feel this way, but what if that’s also part of the problem? i can’t imagine myself in even a year, how am i meant to imagine myself in 5? or even 10 years? maybe i want to be a teenage girl forever. maybe i find comfort in the way i feel now, even if it’s just making my life experience worse.

paschal is very interesting morally bc yes he obviously cared about laurent and ended up saving the day but also. this cunt held onto that letter for god knows how long as laurent was being humilliated in a trial entirely rigged against him with the most likely result of a certain painful torture and death and he only revealed the truth when damen begged him to. for a doctor he sure has no goddamn idea where is spine is for like 99% of the series i love it i love him

I cant complain, I do it to myself. I'm a bad person and I won't change. I'm too exhausted to try anymore.

this episode is the first time i have actually kind of hated the god debate. however, given the nature of the campaign and the themes it's exploring i see it as less like them "going in circles" or "trying to force drama" and more like a leftist infighting simulator. which is bolstered by the ruby vanguard showing what happens during alt-right infighting, which usually involves either spiraling into batshit conspiracy theory or a murder-suicide

Last arcane episode ever..... here we fucking go....

i think human nature/family of blood is a really good two parter in how it manages to show how full of shit ten is 🫶

[lovemehardcoreangel]

i want a boy to fix me, being someone's favourite person would heal me

[leahsnotme]

I don't know guys, my face has been breaking out, I want round hips, and all of my drugs have been taken, and I don't know any dealers, but don't forget I also want to kms soooooooooo, but at least I'm skinni.

he was everything i’d ever wanted, he was the best a man had ever been to me

but it was like i loved him too much, and it threw him off

conversation after conversation about how i couldn’t do it anymore if he kept acting like he didn’t care about me, like he was uninterested, like i was boring to him, if he kept treating me the way my dad used to treat me.

but he never took it seriously, so i ended it

i was heartbroken that the man i loved so much had stopped caring for me

i was heartbroken that i had to end it with him

but the longer i stayed, the more of a toll it took on me

there was no way i could stay if he would continue to disregard me the way he always did

but almost as soon as i did it, he started treating me better than the way he first did.

caring about me, loving me, being the best man he could, trying ten times harder than he did when i thought i had the best man in the world.

but i didn’t want it anymore.

why didn’t he act that way the countless times i wanted him to? did he really feel this way or did he want me to go back to him to do the same thing to me?

when i couldn’t take it anymore and finally told him that i didn’t want him being this way towards me anymore, he said anything and everything he could to hurt me, and then simply left.

why would he do this? he was the one that stopped caring, so why does he care so much now?

but the worst part is how he kept coming back.

it was a cycle.

come back, try to win me back, block, repeat.

each time i acted like i hated him. like i wanted absolutely nothing to do with him.

but both he and i knew that if i really felt that way, i wouldn’t keep talking to him.

i wanted him still, i loved him still, which is why when the last time he left, i was in shambles.

i felt like we’d finally figured things out, finally we were friendly with eachother, there was no tension anymore, i didn’t hate him for what he’d done anymore

but then just like that, he was gone again.

over 6 months of no talking, and for the majority of them, i felt amazing without him.

i felt free, i felt like i finally had let go of him

but for the past month, he hasn’t left my mind.

i can’t help but wonder, does he miss me the way i miss him? does he still love me the way i still love him?

this week, he texted me.

over a small silly thing, no more than ten texts exchanged

but i keep holding onto it.

does this mean he wants to talk again? is he thinking of me like i am him?

or does he genuinely not care anymore?

(not looking for answers, literally just a rant because my friends and sister all hate him so i can’t talk to anyone about it lolol)
