Do yourself a favor and go read the entire fanfic work of @fanfoolishness

(In order: Under sun and shade, Blind Side, and Breathless (patching up is one of my fav too, I just had no cool sketch idea for it)

Out of curiosity why do you bow before eating?

"It's a sign of respect."

"When I kill to eat, I know I am taking a life. I do it out of necessity. The creature's life moves to me so that I can survive and prosper. With this gesture, I pay tribute to its sacrifice."

"The bow is also to acknowledge the work of a person who brought the food, to feed me and the others. You're not pressured to do that, but even if the meal isn't to your liking, you would still recognize the effort. Our colony was small, with Hunter as the only adult, so any food brought back was celebrated."

"In my later cycles, the ability to craft explosive spears became incredibly useful for hunting and self-defense. I had a natural advantage, but it was to be exercised with caution."

"Truth is, I can do a lot of damage with my «powers». It's a big, alienating responsibility. And it was an issue in my younger cycles when I couldn't control it well - sometimes people around me would get hurt, but despite that, I was shown kindness and given guidance by my mentor. My adoptive family did not treat me like a freak, and it mattered a lot to me. It still does."

"I feel no need for bloodlust. I am content with my life… for the most part. Whatever grievances I may have, I know it's bad to take it out on others. For the temporary relief it gives, you realize it really is not worth it. To kill for sport, it makes my stomach turn - a sad waste of life. Just because I can, doesn't mean I should. Cruel thoughts are the domain of a scared animal. I don't want to live in suffering because of such fear, and most of all I don't want my family to think less of me. Does that make sense? I wouldn’t want to disappoint them, or lose their trust…"

"When I hunt for food, I often think of what my mentor would say. Those thoughts guide my spears, the memories remind me to be kind in the face of the vast, indifferent world. Most of the creatures out there have it considerably worse than me, trying to survive nature day by day. I've been blessed with a mark, I know things that a typical slugcat would never need in their life. I don't think I can ever go back - knowledge, like my «powers», are both a blessing and a curse. And, dare I say, I think it is better that I have those powers… for I know, at the very least, that I trust myself to use them wisely."

"The bow is a sign of respect, and a gentle reminder of the things that I stand for."

Every single time someone refers to Volo as a sadist or a cult leader, they owe me fifty dollars.

Every single time someone attempts to claim Volo having a Togekiss and Lucario on his team doesn't hold any significance, it's simply because Cynthia does as well, they owe me five hundred dollars.

I've never actually seen anything quite like how the western side of the fanbase treats him... Usually, you have to be a female character "in the way" of the popular yaoi pairing to receive this level of mischaracterization.

girls band cry revolutionizing the depiction of female friendships by having three women whose friendship is unironically built entirely on the fact that they're comfortable being assholes to each other

I'm pretty sure that if Annabel Lee never developed her "Society is like chess"-mentality, she'd be a walking, talking panic attack 24/7.

Might still just be a headcanon on my part, but the more we see her in the new updates the more I think it's just canon. Not even subtext, just plain text.

I got so excited thinking that one of the shitty managers got fired but turns out, nope!

We got an email saying his position was vacant and I was delighted and figured he’d been fired because. Well it’s all in the link. But anyway NOPE. Turns out he’s getting transferred to a different store after stepping down as a store manager.

This is in no way a bummer since he’s getting moved to a good store and the only thing I can hope is that he hates his new slightly longer commute.

Thought you might get a bit of a chuckle out of this but because Teen Wolf is now on Prime and all your posts about the show, I decided to give it a try and I was shocked to learn Stiles isn't the main character.

Everything I've heard about Teen Wolf has always been Stiles related in a way, even outside of your blog lol, I guess he just tickles the brain more than Scott.

Ahaha. This is. A FULLY normal reaction to watching the show xD

When I started watching this with my beloved bestie, she also went "WHAT DO YOU MEAN STILES ISN'T THE MAIN CHARACTER?".

And as we watchin 3B, aka the Stiles centric season, the question arises anew. Because truly. What do you mean he's not the main character.

And it's not even just that he tickles the brain more than Scott, it's the fact that the show writers just continuously forget to give Scott interesting things?

I like pointing out the episode Party Guessed as an example for this, because four of our main characters - Scott, Stiles, Allison and Jackson - all have hallucinations about their greatest fear and Stiles, Allison and Jackson get something that reveals a deeper layer of them, a part of their backstory, fleshes them out more. And Scott's greatest fear is... that Allison may make out with Jackson.

It's nearly like they're afraid of making him interesting. Giving him edges. Trauma. Trouble. Issues.

Even when they teased an interesting/traumatic backstory for Scott with his dad being in town? They couldn't even commit to making Rafael abusive or anything. It was just a sad accident and we move on from it.

Hell, even Boyd gets an interesting backstory element with his dead disappeared sister over whom he still has guilt! And my boy was only in 15 episodes total!

I just want to say that I personally disagree with the claims that Stolas is a coercive rapist. You don't have to agree with me. I just want to share my perspective. Alright, here we go.

Let's start at Harvest Moon Festival: 'When this happens, it's not really something I fuss about...' and 'Well, I'm not a fan of someone I offered a job to about to off my easiest lengthy ticket to Earth behind my back.' Notice how Blitz says 'easiest lengthy ticket' here, not 'only ticket', and Blitz knows about Asmodean Crystals, as evidenced by Unhappy Campers where he forces someone to use it to create a portal to the living world, so the Grimoire was never the only option Blitz could've used to run I.M.P. Sure losing the grimoire would've disrupted business for a bit, but again, it was never Blitz's only option. It's also been confirmed in Ghostfuckers that I.M.P used to assassin jobs in Hell before Blitz got the Grimoire from Stolas, I.M.P was running fine without the Grimoire, if Blitz couldn't get his hands on the Grimoire or the Asmodeun Crystal he and his could always just run missions in Hell, so the coercion argument already falls flat there, but let's beat it up a bit further shall we?

Now let's look at Ozzies, at the ending of it Stolas never pressures or forces Blitz into having sex with him or quote 'We could talk, or… watch a movie, or… maybe cuddle?', Blitz turns Stolas down here, and Stolas never forces or pressures Blitz into doing said things with him, and you know what this also proves? It proves that Blitz has always the self-agency to tell Stolas 'no I don't want to fuck you', which also shows that Blitz actually wanted to have sex with Stolas, which we can prove by the text messages Stolas and Blitz had after Ozzie's.

The text messages at the end of Western Energy show that Stolas is actively giving Blitz the option to not fuck him, which also tells us that Blitz always had the option to tell Stolas no, and hell, we can see in the All 2 U song that Blitz turned down Stolas most likely asking Blitz to stay after the sex, proving even further Blitz always had the self-agency to tell Stolas no, which shows that Blitz wanted to have sex with Stolas.

And I'm not even counting everything about what happened in Full Moon episode. Blitz literally sings about how much he enjoys sex with Stolas, spends the whole day buying things to use on Stolas, begged for Stolas to keep the deal, said multiple times about how much the deal is something he enjoyed and wanted to keep, and told Loona and M&M about how Stolas never forced anything on him which lead to months without intimacy between them. Where is the coercion??? Simply, it's not there.

Now let's look at Apology Tour, Blitz wants the arrangement back, to fuck Stolas again. Which tells us something that the people peddling the bullshit 'Stolas is a rapist' argument entirely ignore, Blitz is the one unhappy with the arrangement ending, not Stolas, Blitz.

Also, Blitz has the Asmodeun Crystal by this point, he could've easily have just told Stolas to fuck off and leave if he was truly being coerced and raped by him, but he chooses to stay because at this point he thinks this gesture is a farewell gift from Stolas, and it's been made very clear that Blitz has strong feelings for Stolas by this point despite his self-hatred, that he doesn't want to lose Stolas, which also helps to further prove that Blitz wanted to have sex with Stolas out of his entire free will.

Blitz having sex with Stolas was a way for Blitz to be close to Stolas without having to be vulnerable, and when Stolas gets rid of the arrangement Blitz is scared because it would force Blitz to be vulnerable towards Stolas.

Is all of this really the behavior of a person who felt coerced into sex he didn't want to have? Because I think it's pretty clear that Blitz at no point felt coerced into having sex with Stolas, and the people that claim otherwise I have good grounds to believe aren't even watching the same show anymore.

i think i can sum up everything you said here, from my pov, in one sentence: "A part of Blitz craved Stolas' "affection" and "interest" in him because he had never experienced true love before (+ all the trauma in his past really fucked him up when it comes to opening up his heart and recieveing love and not pushing people away), and pretty much got hooked to the "relationship" despite Stolas' gaslighting, name calling and manipulative tendencies"

long story short, blitz fell in love with his abuser and is unable to break free. symbolically, he cant break the chains

star trek fans specifically are crazy for that. you say "im not really comfortable watching tos because of the way captain kirk interacts with women" and 900000 people come crawling oit of the woodwork to say UM ACTUALLY kirk is a GENTLEMAN FEMINIST who is ALWAYS NICE and VERY BISEXUAL! and the only people who think he acts like that are the DUMB PIG CHAUVINIST MEN who think kirk is LIKE THEM! okay im actually referring to how he constantly grabs at women esp when they're unhappy and physically restrains them. or the weird sexually charged comments he makes. or his persistent assumption of all women as available and simple things to be acquired or controlled. and sometimes they lobby back with the "well Its Made In The Sixties so of course its Dated but its still PROGRESSIVE!" okay well its so dated that im not comfortable. i cant just say to myself "oh well it was another time" and immediately become blind to whats happening before my eyes.

Happy Birthday to Ferdinand von Aegir!

I actually made 33 emotes, affectionately known as Aegirglyphics to some, for my own personal use on discord. However, I figure why not share some of them! They're free to use for discord servers/icons/pfps or whatever. However, my only request is Do NOT use them as subscriber emotes on Twitch. You can make them free follower emotes but you are not to make them locked behind a paywall.

i don't know how to put this into words yet so it makes complete sense so bear with me while i gather my thoughts, but...

i think a lot of the criticism i have re: decisions bioware made with veilguard are (at least in part) the company's direct responses to the (in my eyes) often unfounded and disproportionate hate that inquisition received from the fanbase.

I love the Käärijä fandom for taking in and showing love for every artist, photographer, makeup artist, dancer etc who works with K, I love how they end up posting about how they feel the love pouring from the K fandom to them and I'm so proud of all of us for it 💚

I don’t have time to write a whole meta but I gotta say it does bother me when people look at Ed’s drunk heartbroken sorority girl in a dressing gown phase and think that it means he’s dangerously unhinged, the crew is scared of him, and it was right for Izzy to intervene.

THIS SHOW IS A ROMANTIC COMEDY.

Ed is Elle Woods eating chocolate in bed before deciding to apply for Harvard Law.

He’s Bridget Jones sobbing as she sings along to All By Myself.

He is in the messy phase that we’ve all accepted as perfectly normal after a breakup (*cough* for white women *cough*). That’s why they put him in pajamas and gave him copious amounts of alcohol and sugar.

Yeah, it’s dramatized to the point of being cringey and funny because this is a romantic comedy and it’s a trope.
