[homeless202]

Thank you for posting ur analysis on no home they make me so happy and help me appreciate and understand the comic even more🫶🫶 I'm planning on rereading it a lot more because of your post, I love them so much thank you

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! this literally made my day, i'm so glad u like it😭😭

tbh i'm always a bit anxious when i post a meta in case i get sth wrong or completely miss the point (apologies in advance for that) but this made me feel better <3

when you reread no home i highly recommend looking at everything from Eunyung's perspective and to keep a close eye on him. it'll help understand him (and all the conflicts) better.

I’m more sad this past week about succession ending than I am about my almost four year relationship ending

The Fourth Doctor's "apology" letter (with omissions planned by The Brigadier) to the Prime Minister, answering why he didn't attend the dinner at the end of the episode Robot.

I’m just picturing Ranpo trying to cheer Dazai up (and missing the mark by a mile) by being like “at least he’s just as stupid as you are!” or something like that idk. Maybe trying to tell him “it’s okay, Chuuya still has no idea how you feel about him! None whatsoever! The possibility isn’t even on his radar!”

Alskdjfjf I love these, thank you anon — and uh, this kinda sent me off in A Direction while I was mulling it over, but it’s still sorta the same vibe —

(There will, as you can probably tell, be another part of this!)

One thing I wish I'd see more of among Ratio fans is some thought about how he views himself as a teacher.

Like yes, of course he refuses to compromise on the quality and rigor of the education he imparts, and he would find it unforgivably unethical to lower his standards in order to pass more students who had not genuinely learned the material. This is core to his character.

However, as someone who is a teacher IRL, I know the absolutely miserable feeling setting that kind of standard can cause. There's the obvious disheartening sense of disappointment ("Are students these days really not capable of doing the work correctly? Is our future in danger, if this is the highest level of understanding our current generation of students can achieve?"), but even worse than that is the self-doubt.

"Is this somehow my fault? Am I not teaching this material in the right ways for the students to learn? Is there something I could have done differently to get through to these students? Would a better teacher have a higher passing rate?"

We know that Ratio does (or at least did) struggle with feeling inferior to the Genius Society, so I think it is also likely, as much as he absolutely will not budge on his academic standards, that he has doubts about his teaching ability as well.

This is the man who wants to educate the entire world to cure the disease of ignorance, and yet only 3% of his actual students are able to get there. How can someone who gets so few of his direct students to a state of enlightenment hope to enlighten the whole universe? If so few students are successfully learning the material of a given class, doesn't that mean the teacher is doing something wrong?Would a better teacher--would a genius, maybe--not be able to impart their knowledge more efficiently and educate even the most challenging of students?

As someone constantly struggling with that balance between keeping academic standards high while also meeting the needs of today's students, I think the passing rates of his courses must affect Dr. Ratio much more deeply than I've seen fans discuss. I think he would question himself harshly over his class success rates, and I think he must be constantly trying to push himself to become the best teacher he possibly can be.

tl;dr: I hope one day the HSR fandom will stop sleeping on the fact that Ratio is an actual practicing professor who probably has astronomical levels of teacher angst. 😂

au where ghost, by recommendation of his therapist, starts writing as a hobby. its not very helpful, at least at first. it feels like a chore, but ghost is nothing if not tenacious. hes going to prove the doc wrong and show them that he cant be helped. his journals (because he was going to give this thing his all, and handwriting everything was the best way to do it) are mostly a lot of angry scribbled thoughts and self loathing. but slowly, over time, things start to shift. more positive things start peppering the anger and the melancholy. the whole process feels less like a burden and more like a release.

then he starts writing less reality. more little anecdotes sprinkled with a smidge of hyperbole. some outlandish dreams he had the previous night. small fictions that still act as an outlet for his feelings.

as his skills grow, his therapist suggests writing a novel. something long term and sustained to put his little hobby to the test. its a commitment, sure, and a lot of work to get there, but hes never shied away from a challenge before. like with everything in his life, he dives in chest first.

the doc wasnt wrong, writing the thing was rough. borderline impossible sometimes. but slowly, storylines rise and fall. characters grow and change. the manuscript begins, and just as uneventfully it ends. he wrote a novel. now what?

nothing, he decides. it was catharsis, nothing more nothing less. but then some little shits (roach and gaz) find the bound stack of papers in his office (purposefully hidden under some overdue paperwork) and BEG him to let them read it. he isnt sure at first, but the puppydog eyes work and he reluctantly relents.

hes expecting ridicule, maybe some teasing compliments or even critiques. he wasnt expecting the two of them to ambush him the next day, half feral and wanting more. they spent the entire night reading it, nearly missing the start of breakfast because they were too engrossed.

somehow, they convince him to try for an agent. somehow, he manages to snag one. somehow, that agent loves his work enough to pitch it to several publishing houses (under a pseudonym, of course). and somehow, it gets picked up for publication.

holding the glossy hardback all that time later, ghost isnt sure what happened. he isnt sure how in the world he went from alone and angry, grieving and isolated, to this. the book is somehow a bestseller, with rave reviews all over the place. its honestly kind of nerve wracking??? the only people who know about him and it are his team. (price definitely didnt shed a tear when presented with a signed first edition copy. the sergeants absolutely did.)

he isnt sure how to feel when the new sergeant joins, all knife smiles and cutting words, waltzing into his base with a battered copy of that very book under his arm. a battered copy filled to the brim with red pen and tabs, scribbled criticism that cuts the story to the bone and picks apart every little failing scrawled in every margin. it should annoy him. it should make him hate the man, one john mactavish, all that much more.

he cant help but find him fascinating.

(maybe he might even get some ideas for the next book. thats the only reason he cant stop seeking his opinions.)

I understand being upset by the moonpaw dog post but i dont think talking about some random teen publicly (on a pretty big fandom blog) as opposed to like, dming them about it, is a very nice thing to do? Would recommend keeping that kinda gossip in dms going forward personally.

??????? "That kinda gossip???"

Saying that it's fucked up that a publicly posted incest joke about how deformed she should look went to the top of the Warrior Cats and Moonpaw tags, is gossip???

TRENDING TAGS?? GOSSIP?

I'm not talking about "some random teen," I have not even dropped a username and been VERY clear I don't want harassment of anyone. During this discussion about wider ableism against Moonpaw, I've directly answered two anons about the contents of a post that was/IS extremely popular to the tune of nearly a thousand notes.

One of those two asks was an anon who only stumbled in to say that the post was funny in a display of SHOCKING tonedeafness, while I was talking about how shitty it is to compare people who are the products of incest to unethical dog breeds, especially in the context of WC. The other was an actual XX/XY chimera who expressed that the extremely popular post hurt their feelings, and when they tried to express discomfort to someone, got told they "probably killed their twin in the womb."

It's not just one rando weenie little blog the minute half of the Tumblr space is openly laughing at a joke about deformed incest kids and hoping Moonpaw dies because she's so "gross." Not nice?? Your feelings are hurt? OTHER people's feelings were ALREADY hurt.

NOTHING about this was "nice" to begin with!

Difference is, when YOU cry me a river, you can build me a bridge, and get right the fuck over it. A person who's the product of incest cries and has to go right back to every shitty banjo-hunchback-hapsburg joke they've heard before, just feeling more unsafe about a space that PRETENDS to care about the abuse they experienced. If you feel guilty about that, maybe you should!

If you were under the impression I was ever "nice" about bigotry, you were mistaken. I don't appreciate calls for ME to be more polite when I'm at a trend of fandom ableism and calling it fucked up. I've named NO names. Sounds like what you ACTUALLY want is for people like me who have a platform to shut up.

Silly thought but Cabernet, being a food critic that she is, using marker on you after sex, doodling five stars above your pussy deeming it a five star meal.

Or

Cabernet, after tasting : It's... passable but nothing will be better than this one meal I had in my life.

Chef, wanting to know what it was so he can try and re-create it : Can I ask for the name of such dish?

Cabby, not batting an eye and staring deeply into his eyes. Unblinking. : my wife's cunt.

HAIDJWJDJ. Cabernet’s favorite meal is no longer grapes. It’s her wife’s pussy 👌

Imagine if during the Insatiable Fiesta event, she tastes McGrath’s cooking and is like “mm, it’s alright.” And McGrath who is desperate, asks Cabernet what she would like to eat as she would make it right away for her! Imagine McGrath’s surprise when Cabernet immediately goes “you have my wife here?” And she instantly begins salivating at the thought.

Good luck to any chefs trying to recreate your pussy taste for Cabernet 😭😭

[proshippers-against-censorship]

I'm aware that this specific post is a joke, but people unironocally post these and then wonder why they either get zero interaction or keep running into folks on their DNI.

What your favourite DC team says about you (villains and heroes included)

The Justice League: You're probably over 30, and you love to talk about how "back when I was a kid"

Teen Titans: You were obsessed with Teen Titans GO in the 2010s to the point your friends were concerned about the amount of references you were making

Young Justice: You heavily ship TimKon and refuse to accept that Tim canonically is dating Bernard

The Outlaws: You have some unprovoked beef with both Batman and the Joker, and probably daddy issues

Birds of Prey: You live for hot women.. that could kill you

Young Titans (Damian, Jon, Mar'i, Lian, etc): You never stopped embracing the "kids rule adults drool" lifestyle

Legion of Doom: You say you have big "villain" energy, when you're really just an average mean person

Suicide Squad: Your favourite DC characte is Harley Quinn, and you've been her for Halloween multiple times

The Amazons: You either love badass women, or Greek mythology, or both

The Batfam: "Come for the brooding, stay for the hot vigilantes" is a motto you live by

The Superfam: Your favourite hero as a child was either Superman or Supergirl, and you're literally so happy to see more members added to their family

Team Arrow: You're an archery nerd it's pretty obvious

Team Flash: You reference the quote "I'll be back in a flash" a concerning amount

Female Furies: You took your love of hot women that could kill you a little further than socially acceptable, and you would fold immediately if you encountered one in real life

Let me know if I missed your favourites, or any others that I should've mentioned!
