Clinging for (Emotional) Support
Prefect needs a bit of a break after a stressful day, so they seek out their favorite person…

Intro:
You’ve had a bad day, well, a worse one than usual, and you feel like you’re on the verge of crashing out. So, you go to one of your favorite people and you cling to them for some emotional support, not doing anything else besides holding on for dear life and nuzzling your face into their chest or shoulder, not providing one bit of information as to why you’re even doing this. But, don’t worry, they care for you a lot, maybe more so than they let on <3

Riddle 🌹:
He doesn’t take to well to it at first
When you come to him looking all stressed out, he’ll obviously offer you some support and offer to talk with him about whatever is bothering you, but when you shake your head and instead wrap your arms around him and burry your face in wherever it can reach, he freezes up
“Prefect! Why are you doing this? Th-this is unacceptable! This is improper!”
He’ll turn bright red, not out of anger but out of embarrassment of the whole situation
He still won’t be totally used to it even when you keep it up, genuinely confused as to why you chose him out of all people and more importantly, keep coming back to him, but he won’t admit to it, it also helps him calm down too when you hold on
On rare occasions when he’s not too busy with other things and you two are in a more secluded place, he’ll hug you back
“Agh- again, Prefect? A little warning next time before you get all handsy with me…are you alright, though? Don’t be stressed, you’re as lovely as a rose, don’t begin to wilt simply because of a setback.”
Trey ♣️:
People rely on him, yes, but you’ve brought it to a whole new level here, like, you’re physically leaning on him now
At first he just laughs out of being surprised, but when he sees you hugging him tighter, your brows furrowed in clear stress, he’ll stop and ask what’s going on
“Hah! What’s this— oh…hey, look at me, are you ok? Do you want a sweet treat?”
He’ll wrap his arms back around you without a second thought, gently rubbing your back as well to add that extra boost of comfort
He has younger siblings so of course he’s well off in a situation like this, basically second nature at this point for him
If he’s baking, he may not have time for you to cling to him like you’d want, so he’ll apologize when he’s done with one of the baked goods and by letting you stick by him as long as you want, but he’ll try and make the time for you always
“Prefect…it’ll be alright. Want a tart? They’re freshly made, as always…anything to help you feel better.”
Cater ♦️:
Heyyy! There you are! Oh…why are you looking at him like that…that’s not good, you don’t look to good, emotionally wise…
As soon as you wrap your arms around him he’ll tense up. He’ll awkwardly look down at you and quirk an eyebrow
He’s no stranger to the emotions of people around him so he can tell something is up fairly quickly with the people close around him
“What’s wrong? Do you need Cay-kun to come to the rescue— no jokes…ok, gotcha. Spill it, Prefect, what’s the matter?”
He’s gentle about it, this type of support he learned from his sisters
He’ll lead you off to a more quieter place and just chill out with you until you either tell him what’s wrong or let go of him
He’ll try and cheer you up with taking pictures with funny filters on, if that doesn’t work, he has other methods. Maybe see what’s the spiciest thing he can eat? If you laugh at him tearing and snotting up from it, it’s worth the pain
“Ahhh, what am I gonna do with you? Wanna see Cay-Kun looking all stupid with this filter? Did you smile finally? Aweee, you’re adorbs, Prefect, smile again for me, I need to celebrate you feeling better with a post on my page!”
Ace ❤️:
He’ll try and push you off at first, he didn’t exactly see your expression so he’ll try and pry your arms off of him, huffing while doing so
Like why are you clinging to him? Hello? Earth to Prefect, get off of him now!
once he realizes there’s something up he’ll stop with trying to push you away and he’ll go quiet, awkwardly standing there and mumbling before he finally asks if something’s up
“Aye! What’s this? Get off of meeeeeee, Prefect, let go, why are you doing this— oh…um…so…are you…ok?”
He’s going to try and tease you at first, it’s an Ace thing, so don’t take it to heart, but if you won’t let up he’ll try and be a little more considerate
He’ll pat your back in an unsure manner, not quite knowing what to do, but when you don’t ease up, he decides maybe it’s best to take some action
If you want to see some magic tricks to cheer you up he’ll do it, but you gotta let go— no? Ok…he can do something else to make you better then
Reassuring words are rare from him, but he cares a lot for you, so he’ll spare a few
“Hey, it’ll be alright. Whatever happened just know I’m always here, even if I may seem like an ass half the time— ok…of course I can be honest about myself from time to time. Oh hushhhhh…I’ve got you, I just want you to be happy, smile again, looks better on you.”
Deuce ♠️:
Cue confused noises coming from him, he won’t exactly question what you’re doing, but he will he going through a whole bunch of different scenarios through his head as to why you are doing this
When he sees you’re not your normal self, the lightbulb will go off in his head and he’ll ask how you’re doing
“Uh…prefect? Are you alright? Talk to me here, what’s up? Are you hurt? No? Answer me here…”
He’ll hug you back, albeit tentatively as hell, but he doesn’t want to do anything wrong and he doesn’t want to do something that’ll upset you more, which him not doing anything might actually upset you more— anyways
He’ll keep talking to you to try and get you to rant about whatever you’re finding particularly stressful at the moment. And no, he totally won’t threaten anybody if that’s the cause of your stress, don’t think like that—
“You sure you’re ok? You’re stressed because…of a person? Prefect, I can handle them— ok, never mind. Sorry…I’ll stay right here, don’t worry. By your side as long as you want me to be. Protecting you as long as you need me to…I’ll stop being cringey…”

Leona 🦁:
Glares at you because you’re in his personal space, like what are you doing?
He can sense something is off though, it’s not that hard to tell when you wrap your arms around him and cling on for dear life like he’s gonna slip away at any moment
He’ll make a small huff and his tail will flick a few times before he asks what’s up
“Herbivore…what’s this for? Never thought you were this bold to be glued to a predator like this…not in a laughing mood, huh? Tell me what’s wrong, then get off me, I’m trying to sleep…”
Sorry not sorry, but everyone knows Leona is a dick most times, just a given fact, but in all honesty, when it comes do you he does care, even though his words sound lacking of it, he only means good
He won’t push you off, he’ll let you stick to him…actually, you know what, why not just stay with him and take a nap? I think it’d better the both of you, and you’d have time to wind down while also being with him
Few words are shared between you, but you have a cuddly lion now, so…there’s that
Win win, no?
“Mmm, no, you don’t have to go…just stay here. I’m not a complete ass, I know when someone needs a little help. Relax…no literally relax you’re moving around too much, Herbivore…”
Ruggie 💰:
Boy is he confused
Honestly, at first, bro thought he was getting robbed by someone, but when he seen it was you, he got all happy and started teasing you like normal
Then when he watches you burry your face into his clothes he knows something is not right. He’s…worried but doesn’t really know how to convey it
“Hey! Oh, prefect! Miss me that much? Shyeheehee!! Hmmm? Heyyy, what’s up with that look? Huh?”
Now he’ll try and cheer you up
His methods are a little quirky, but he’ll offer to buy you something with Leona’s money, let me rephrase, get you both something to snack on with Leona’s money
You can still chill with him, he enjoys it
“Leona’s asleep, I can go snag his wallet and I can score us something at Sam’s shop…I’ll buy the more expensive one this time I guess if it’ll cheer you up…don’t make me use Laugh with Me on you just to see you smile again— Shyeheehee! I’m messing with ya!”
Jack 🐺:
Stiffens up quite quickly. He’ll look down at you and wonder what the hell you’re trying to do but then he’ll realize that you’re not exactly at your best in this moment, he can basically feel it radiating off of you
His ears will flatten against his head, betraying how he feels almost right away.
His words are simple and few, but he does mean well and has good intentions
“What’s wrong? Why are you…so are you ok? No? Ok…can I do something to help?”
He likes to help those he holds close to him, so of course he’ll try and comfort you to the best of his abilities. You want to pet his tail? That may be a little too far—
Fine…he can let you, just this once, but if anyone sees it’s over!
“Prefect…how can I help cheer you up? I don’t think my tail is a great option…it is? I…fine, just this once I guess, if it’ll help cheer you up.”

Azul 🐙:
This is…not what he intended to happen upon seeing you, yea, no…he already has Floyd to worry about now apparently you? Yea…he stiffens up and kinda just stands there, sputtering nonsense, and then trying to push you off of him
He’ll finally take the hint when you just hug him tighter after he fails to get you off. He still won’t calm down that much
Might try and pull the business move on you, especially since you’re in such an emotionally weakened state…he won’t he would
“Prefect! I— what is— no! Hey— you…what…I don’t condone this! You’re…not ok. What do you expect me to do? Wait…actually, why don’t you come back to my office and we can discuss what I could do to assuage your ailments— no then…”
He’s kinda flattered you chose him, but it’s not like he’s really…great at comforting, he’ll try his best. You’ll have to pay him back for it later on your own time
He’ll try and talk to you about it, I don’t really see him trying to touch you or comfort you in any other way. To him, words can go a long way to help someone
“You’re in need, and that’s what our dorm specializes in the best. Can you talk about what is bothering you? I won’t use it against you…I promise. I’m not that bad. Talk to me, it’ll help clear your mind”
(Be careful, blackmail is a good thing to have, he might use whatever you say against you…)
Jade 🫧:
He’ll eerily smile at you at first, he stated he gets overheated easily so…hugs are not really preferred, but he’ll entertain you
He’s not exactly confused, rather intrigued by the whole thing. Why are you clinging to him? Exactly, why him? It’s rather interesting, and almost pathetic in his eyes, but it makes the situation all the more sweet, in his own twisted way
He’ll notice you’re out of it and gently put one hand on the small of your back, that’s the furthest he’ll go
“Oya? Hmmm…fu fu fu, this is quite interesting, no? What is it you need, Prefect? You know the motto of our dorm. I’m willing to assist in whatever you’d need…”
Like I’ve mentioned before…he likes to be relied on. So he kinda likes the situation. He’ll stay with you as long as time permits him. His smile is…far from his normal polite one.
“Prefect? You may talk to me about whatever is troubling you, but I know some humans prefer not to. You can stay by me as long as you need, but just know I may have to get to work soon. For now, however, my time is yours…”
(Y’ALL WHAT DID U EXPECT ME TO SAY, THE TWINS, as much as I love my babies 😭, THEY ARE FAR FROM INNOCENT)
Floyd 🫧:
Oh boy…
Well, here’s the thing, Floyd loves to squeeze people, but the other way around? He doesn’t prefer it…but you are his Shrimpy, so he’ll give you a pass…maybe, depending on his mood
He’ll look at you and laugh. Damn you look almost desperate. He lets you cling to him for a bit before he squeezes you back. Maybe you needed one of his “hugs” anyways…let’s just say he’s in a good mood this time
“Heh! Shrimpy…what are you doing? Oh? You seem sad…don’t be sad Shrimpy~! I can squeeze ya back too! See?”
He’s all over you, hugging, squeezing, nuzzling his face against yours. He’s all giggles, his Shrimpy is squeezing him first. It’s funny! It’s like you’re challenging him or something…
You never fail to cause trouble or stir fun around him, so he’ll stick around for a bit until it gets boring for him. Which in all honesty, it won’t.
Never boring with you around!
“Shrimpy! Aweee, cheer up! I’ll just squeeze ya harder, yea? If it helps ya feel better I will…just don’t squeeze me back too hard, you might hurt me…”
I fear my favoritism for Octavinelle always shines through…<3

Little bit less dead now and I wanted to word vomit a little more.
Like I said before, I would not definitively describe pre-crisis Jason as reckless because that sounds a little too negative for a boy who genuinely did have good intentions, but he was often a little reckless. From the beginning (and to fully make it clear: this is pre-crisis Jason with his circus origin, because pre-crisis is where that line comes from), Jason had one goal: Be good enough to be Robin. He was constantly trying to prove himself despite Bruce telling him that there was no need. This mostly stems from doing death-defying stunts at the circus and always being encouraged by his parents to take risks (his parents chased after Killer Croc, they were also insane [positive]), and Bruce telling him that being Robin was too dangerous made him feel like Bruce wasn't letting him be who he truly was. (He's literally just a ginger Dick Grayson here, guys.)
After one of these instances, Bruce says, "It was ill-advised, Jason, but you didn't do wrong. On the other hand... initiative is one thing, but I wish you'd stop taking on such grand schemes for yourself. You don't have to keep proving your worth to me, I'm sold." That pretty much sums up Bruce's whole view on it at this point - Jason isn't doing anything bad because it's with the intention of doing good and it does help people in the end, but he doesn't have to take on these big missions all by himself.
Now one thing that's important to note is that Bruce did not initially want Jason to be his partner, but Jason was absolutely not having it. Before he even knew of his parents' fate, Jason had already stolen a costume from the cave and jumped in the back of the batmobile. From the get-go, Jason wanted to be Batman's partner, and Bruce wanted Jason to be his son. (This gets a bit flipped post-crisis which is infinitely frustrating to me.) Obviously both feelings end up much more mutual, the father-son one very quickly, but this is how it starts.
So essentially you've got this kid who's used to taking a lot of big risks and parents that encouraged him to take those risks (I can't tell if it sounds like I'm bashing them here? I'm not meaning to if it does), and whilst he understands that this is also life-or-death, he doesn't seem to grasp that they're entirely different circumstances. Being a skilled aerialist is not the same as fighting bad guys who want you dead. He's also got the whole Dick Grayson thing of "I'm your partner, not your weakness. Treat me as such."
That's where we get back to "Robin gives me magic!"
With all this context of Jason's intense need to prove himself, both as Robin, son of the Bruce/Batman, and Jason, son of adventurous acrobats, Joseph and Trina Todd, Robin giving him magic takes on a whole new light. I've seen a few people say that the line is more about the anonymity, or finding courage in the mantle of a hero, and while both these interpretations are totally fair, I still mostly disagree. This is Jason refusing to be treated like the child he is (he was twelve years old when Bruce took him in). This is Jason becoming... I wouldn't necessarily say cocky, but something along those lines. Like I said in the tags of that last post, this is a warning sign.
And that's not even touching on the Collins of it all. I know these comics are unrelated so you don't really have to listen to me here, but having a man become so convinced that his costume gives him magic that he grows detrimentally reckless just links them so well.
This is why I think that this could've been the starting point of his post-crisis self if the crisis had not happened. If they'd have fleshed it out a little more, slowed it down a bit, Jason gradually becoming more and more explicitly reckless and eventually violent could've worked. They'd already laid the groundwork for the recklessness. The violence and bloodlust would've taken a little longer (one of Jason's last conversations pre-crisis has him saying that Bruce has not failed by only arresting criminals instead of successfully reforming them, as the world is still a better place with them behind bars), but it still very much could have worked (Jason was quick to act and, only a few times, quick to violence, but with reason).
I was going to dig a little further into my ideal Robin!Jason origin and progression but I fear this post may be growing a little too long so I'll leave that for another time possibly.
There isn't much point to this post other than literally just rambling about Robin!Jason. I just think he's a very complex character, and fandom tends to boil him down to being 'the real golden child who loved school and never caused trouble', and that simply isn't accurate.
He did care about his grades, both pre- and post-crisis, and though he never really enjoyed homework, he still did it (pre-crisis he very much did not want to do it but he wanted to keep his grades up, and his views on schoolwork aren't really touched on in post-crisis, though it is said he does extra credit to make sure his grades stay up as high as they are). And he was always stressing Bruce - letting a villain adopt him to solve a case, running away, patrolling alone with permission, dying his hair black and stealing cash from Bruce's drawer to go help him and so on. Post-crisis, he was obviously very violent and this jump was super sudden (one comic he's telling Bruce not to give up on his methods, and the next he's saying "okay but what if they just died", but Bruce's character was also very affected by the crisis), but it's canon now, so🤷.
Basically I think fanon Jason is boring and bland. Like yeah canon Jason pretty much went from Ginger Dick Grayson to Angry Murder Machine, but that's still a lot more personality than what fanon gives him. I just really love Robin!Jason and this, I think, is why I dislike current Jason so much.
I've got a lot of thoughts about "Robin gives me magic!" and absolutely none of them are coherent but I'm sharing them anyway.
So for context: this line comes from a story in which Calendar Man is planning to kill Jason, and Bruce tells him that he can work the case but not out in the field. There's a whole thing here where Jason gives Bruce the silent treatment until Bruce calls him immature and sends him to his room. That night, Bruce apologises and explains that he can't lose Jason, and that sometimes Batman has to go out alone. Jason says he understands but sneaks out anyway, planning to take Calendar Man on his own.
When he gets back to the cave (after Bruce has been searching for him despite bleeding out), Bruce tries to scold him. This is where he says that line, and that Robin lets him do things he'd never have dared before. Bruce says that it sounds like recklessness, and Jason says no, just maturity. There's a few more bits here that I have a lot of thoughts on but these are the most relevant parts of it.
The thing I find so interesting about this is actually from a different comic from a little while before. There's this guy, Collins, who wears Catman's costume and believes it has this magical ability to give him nine lives. Collins narrowly avoids death several times (e.g. nearly hit by a truck, almost crushed by rocks) and he thinks it's the suit's doing, but actually, it was Batman following and saving him every time. While they're fighting and Collins is insisting that the suit gives him magic, Bruce thinks, "I've created a monster - he's completely reckless - unwilling to concede there's any danger his costume can't handle!"
Now I also have a lot of thoughts on this that I might get into when it's not five in the morning but the main one is this: "Robin gives me magic" is not proof of Jason being the happy, chill Robin. This is him giving Bruce grey hairs in real time. This is him thinking that he's nearly invincible. To me, this would've been the perfect point to start shifting him into his post-crisis self. I think Jason's too complicated to label him as just reckless but also? I would not say it's wrong to. He is occasionally reckless and he does act without thinking sometimes. And just to clarify, this isn't criticism. I love pre-crisis Jason. He's my little guy. That's why I hate it when he's just boiled down to 'the happy Robin' (and the fact that it's a stupid label for any of the Robins, please let go of that), because he's been stressing Bruce out since day one. Like, this is the kid who said "if you don't make me Robin I'm doing to run away to the circus," and then did. And post-crisis he's very explicitly written as violent and reckless. He's always been a menace, don't take that away from him!!
#i don't think i made a single point in this whole post and i am okay with that#i'm not tagging this bc there's a lot i've left out and i don't want people debating me on a ramble

I had a shrink appointment today and while I could not see it I knew my doc was going through the five stages of grief while I explained my fool proof strategy for doing my t shots despite a crippling fear of needles: By abusing my vastly more crippling fear of being an inconvenience.
My mother and I play phasmophobia together every week. she usually has a pretty limited time to do this bc she's like. a doctor and a college professor whos always busy. So I asked her to just. hold me to doing them. We don't start playing until the shot is done. so my needle fear doesn't matter because now it's Wasting™ her time and I have to do it quick. Using one neurosis to defeat another.
It's a horrible coping mechanism because it's feeding the inconvenience fear, but it is definitionally a coping mechanism.
#im a 'has a panic attack during every injection or iv theyve ever gotten' type of scared of needles#no it genuinely has nothing to do with pain the needle itself is the fear not the using of it#like i told this story before but i have these sewing pins with lil bow ties on them and i had to get my dad to take all the blue ones out#because they were triggering the same part of my brain iv needles do#just the sight of them with the rest of my cute sewing pins was a problem#And the fear of being an inconvenience is so bad i cant eat around people or be in crowded spaces or talk at get togethers#without being paralyzed by fear of Being In The Way. its so bad ive been avoiding using my power chair bc it makes me take up#slightly more space than i would just standing. and i never took my manual out and about because i moved too slowly in it#and i dont take my crutches on planes despite using them everyday bc they cant fold up like my cane can and so are In The Way#one of the big reasons i dont use the chairs in stores is they have back up alarms. and i hate making noises in public#Yes this is part of the reason i want a Rottweiler for my service dog because i want people to look at the doggie Not Me.#I like people! i like being friendly and talking and making little connections with strangers!!! But i cant be the one to initiate or#be In The Way of a peaceful moment#dont look at me#this is also a big issue i have with making friends or changing the nature of a relationship because like. im autistic#I have Rules for social interactions memorized that i will follow. but moving people from one category to another#is difficult. It is too the point i had problems for litteral years talking to my boyfriend as though#he was a person i knew well and cared deeply for because i kept using the 'rando guy im flirting with on the Internet' script#I have commissioners i want to be friendlier with but my brain says No Stop that is an Impolite and Overly informal way to talk to#a customer™ despite them not being customers when they arnt in the commission process#im like thise huskies who are scared of carpet because its Different than the floor they're currently standing on#its Too different:(#and to be clear i am Completely aware of how none of this makes logical sense and is in fact deeply self destructive#That does not fix it. it is so ingrained in my head that im certain i could convince my brain to let me bite off my own fingers#before i could convince it to let me talk to someone at a help desk or ask my order be corrected at a restaurant

kon sweetie im so fucking sorry that someone would even say something stupid like that oh my god.
#rimi talks#paraphrasing the beyonce gif bc i dont remember exactly how it goes but.#sometimes people follow me and i really genuinely don't know why at all because their blog header and desc make it extremely clear#that they are someone i want on my block list PRONTO. like. what are you doing. why are you coming into my house#have i not made it clear enough that i hate that shit. why are you trying to follow me. get OUT of my activity page block button SAVE MEEE#PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY READ COMICS AND ARENT STUPID SAVEEE MEEEEEEEE#anyway i apparently have not been clear enough about my opinions so let me speak my truth.#i think jason todd is really fucking annoying. i don't like 99% of fan content about him and i don't like 99% of his fans.#i think that jay // tim is a dumb ship and i think that jay // kon is an even worse one and i think jay// tim// kon// sucks SHIT#i also think that you should simply read comics before you start posting about the characters from said comics.#like i recognize that i cant stop anyone from posting bad opinions but i would love to not see them <3#anyway im chasing people out with a broom. OUT OF MY HOUSE. OUT. OUT#IM A COMICS BLOGGER. NOT A ''BAD TELEPHONE GAME ABOUT SOMETHING SOMEONE HEARD ABOUT A COMIC ONCE'' BLOGGER#OUT OF MY HOUSE ! ! ! !! ! ! !!#merry shitscram. now scram your shit and go. is this anything#<- i have to make bad jokes or ill die. you understand.#and like tbc this was just case of ''blog desc header and top posts were all really fucking annoying''#and not ''something actively harmful or evil'' like its fine its just Extremely deeply not my cup of tea yk#but i do also have to be dramatic about reading words in an order that i really hated sometimes. or i will also die.#anyways. take my hand. read superman (1987) 155

for love of god I wish I hadn't trained my brain into generating sequel ideas.
#not least because despite what people say in their ao3 comments people do not actually like MY sequels or prequels#I actually had to repeatedly go through the last two chapters of yonder to scrub the automatic sequel set-up I do#there are still a few vestiges of it here and there#(it's good it got scrubbed because it was actually setting up for a different sequel than the one I'd write now)#but the thing is I literally do it on autopilot because I trained myself into this like twenty years ago#in all honesty I have a fair amount of sympathy for mcu showrunners on that point because like. I get it.#it actually takes real effort to catch myself doing it and then stop it#last few chapters of yonder were BAD for this reason#(not like. the chapters are bad. they're fine. but having to keep catching myself and stopping it.)#(the scrubbed scenes are in my cut scenes and concept writing tag)#anyway this is about my brain suddenly throwing up what is either a home au or the home version of the time heist#NO!!!! WE'RE FINISHING THIS STORY AND WRITING SOMETHING ELSE!!!#nobody actually wants that! not even me!#honestly I found out from horizon that people do NOT want my sequels or prequels and tbh this was clear from gambit#adventures in accountability#your girl#gambit was very popular -- to my eternal despair -- but many people who really liked wake did NOT like gambit because they're very differen#same with yonder (very popular) and horizon (extremely not popular by my standards). they are essentially two different genres of marvel fi#actually I'm genuinely surprised it took this long for my brain to throw this at me

I feel like every time i hear about solavellan its talking about like “oh when they reunite and solas and ooooo” or like. Something angsty like one of them dying or something.
Anyone elses lavellan wanna just kill him like straight up
And i dont mean this in a hating solas way (irl) but at least in my lavellans case they went through hell and back in inquisition, and finding out solas wants to tear down the veil, effectively destroying the world as they know it, was the final straw. As in they were barely keeping it together before, and this caused them to spiral. Like a mental break happened. And that manifested in a very uh. Violent and hunting down solas at all costs kinda way.
#dai#datv#dav#dragon age#dragon age inquisition#dragon age the veilguard#dragon age veilguard#solavellan#solas dragon age#solas#dragon age lavellan#yknow hot take not a fan of how a good portion of ppl talk about solavellan#as a fan of it i should add lmao#but then someone pointed out that its bc straight ppl are putting it through a straight lense#and then it all made sense#like dgm yall enjoy solavellan how you want!#i just usually find i have a disconnect with how ppl typically talk about them#it might also be bc i genuinely cannot agree w what solas is doing#like its just not a good idea man#are you really doing this for others or for yourself?#its clear you dont care about the dalish#and city elves have basically no connection with his people#so who benefits from this? him.#instead of trying to help usher in a better world present day#he wants to bring back the world he knew a millenia ago#and whos to say that the same shit doesnt just happen again#is solas going to stop dwarves from being hunted and persecuted bc they have no connection to the fade?#bc that happened in his world#will he help his fellow elf or will he leave the weak to die and the powerful to rise once again#the world he once knew is GONE and he cant accept that

you know what, I actually will talk about this because it's bothering me. The issue with focussing so heavily on syd and carmy's potential for a romantic relationship isn't that there's something inherently unintellectual about romance or whatever, it's that a lot of people seem incapable of doing that without immediately flattening the story and ignoring or intentionally misreading any and all nuance for the sake of that romance. Every scene suddenly becomes about how it impacts their relationship, every analysis is done through a romantic lens, every frame or line of dialogue becomes about finding some easter egg or hint that "proves" these people should start dating. Their dynamic is absolutely a fundamental part of this show, but if you can only see it as a will-they-won't-they, you miss so much of what the story is actually trying to say with these two.
There are good versions of this story where their relationship is romantic and there are good versions of this story where it isn't, but as soon as you decide them being together is "the point," you lose the ability to actually judge the story for what it is, not what you want it to be.
#like so much of their dynamic (esp but not exclusively in S3) has been about showing the ways that carmy's trauma and dysfunctional#attitude in the kitchen impacts other people and how even though he cares about syd and wants their partnership to work he keeps self#sabotaging and setting himself and by extension her and the restaurant up to fail and replicating the same toxic environments that#he grew up and trained in and this is very much consistent with his character and a natural continuation of the conflicts they've been#having since S1 but because him being shitty with her runs contrary to them getting together suddenly its 'ruining the story' and#out of character and only happening bc the writers just hate to see this ship winning and like. if you really think that i genuinely don't#know what show you've been watching bc it sure as shit wasn't this one. like it hurts to see him do this because you know#they could do something genuinely great together and that he's ruining a really good thing but this is also the reality of where he is rn#if he was just a good and supporting business partner and not deeply dysfunctional it would be wildly out of character#the problem w S3 wasn't that it 'ruined' their relationship it's that it had no clear focus overemphasized carmy's arc at the expense#of the other leads deprioritized the supporting cast while failing to give them their own arcs gave more screen time to#unecessary and uninteresting new 'comic relief' characters and let conflicts stagnate without resolving them or#letting them evolve over the course of the season.#this isn't exclusive to the bear this is a general trend ive noticed where as soon as the 'shipper' part of people's brains get activated#it's like they lose the ability to read the story any other way and it stops being about what's good for the narrative and starts being#about whether or not these two people kiss and anything that gets in the way of that is bad and anything that brings it closer is good#and it's usually whatever but it's really frustrating when the story ppl are doing that to is this good#it also makes people fundamentally incapable of treating any 'obstacle' to that romance in a way that isn't wildly meanspirited and#gross (esp bc those characters are usually women) which is exhausting. like no claire isn't evil or a 'pick me' or 'bad' for carmy#or a useless addition to the story or whatever other nonsense you guys have decided must be true to feel okay. she's a perfectly normal#character and their relationship is exploring some of the ways that carmy's inability to deal with or actually address his trauma#impacts the various relationships in his life. she doesn't even have to be a monster or a narrative mistake for him and syd to be#'destined' for each other or whatever. this isn't a middle school wattpad fic.#im definitely gonna get killed in the street for this but ive been looking for a good reason to spend less time on here so might as well#the bear#sydcarmy#sydney adamu#carmy berzatto

I dont want to keep discussing Tommy and want to move past the drama VS the horrible terrible signs and the need to talk about it
#discourse#I genuinely cannot stop seeing wilbur in him#not in 'Tommy is a domestic abuser' kind of way#but in like. Tommy is in a very similar situation Wilbur was in a few years ago#(from his own admition) struggling with his mental health that is heavily affected by views#seemingly putting so much weight on his relationship with someone and using it as his singular life line#surrounded by people who wont tell him no#and ignoring the nos from the people who do#I can easily see him spiraling from this point#I hope he doesn't to be clear#but...#the heartbreaking thing about tommy to me is that I cant stop thinking that he can get better#because sometimes he just says some shit that its like. are you listening to yourself right now? have you told this to a professional?#but he just keeps digging deeper#...it makes me sad. hes a terrible person who could have stopped digging in any moment#and now hes got miles to climb out of#honestly all of them make each other worse and I do not want to be on radius when it all explodes

modern au larry would actually be hype as fuck that tapes are coming back into vogue now, but he's also extremely pissed that gen z doesn't actually have access to any good quality tapes or any good quality stereos to play tapes. every single fucking last one of the modern tape players at this point in time are absolute fucking garbage and it makes him want to start blowing up buildings
#txt#sf modern au#sally face#larry johnson#TO BE CLEAR#it's not actually really anyone's fault that tape mechanisms#are absolute dogshit these days#it's just because they fell out of fashion#so people stopped making them#the only good ones are the actual genuine old school ones#DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES#BUY THAT GARBAGE ON AMAZON#they will EAT YOUR TAPES and DESTROY THEM#the best thing you can do#if you want to buy oldschool tapes and players#or record your own tapes and listen back to them#is to buy oldschool stereos or tape decks#off of ebay#and if you buy a deck then you need to ALSO buy#an amplifier and speakers to go with it#the deck itself just plays the tape#it doesn't play the music itself#so if you have just a deck and no amp + speakers#the music will be nearly inaudible#the amp amplifies the signal and the speakers make it listenable#unless it's some kind of magic integrated mechanism you need all 3#unwarranted infodump tag#<- adding that just bc i started dumping in the tags lmao

now don't get me wrong i love fanart of jon with the fabulous outfits lots of accessories and long luscious hair as much as the next tma fan but the jon in my brain is far too pathetic for anything but years old stained and torn up jeans. and hair that hasn't been cut in years and looks like it hasn't been washed in about as much time. i enjoy the vision though
#the only jon i can see actually putting effort into his appearance is s1. and even then he's still trying to look professional and all#i honestly see him as having like. 10 pieces of clothing total#2 work pants to switch between. 2-3 shirts. one big warm sweater and one green sweater vest. a jacket. one pair of comfy pants. underwear.#and then later on i do think he's too busy with The Horrors to worry about matters such as clothing and fashion#but i do love love love him in a funky outfit with lots of accessories. in the hypothetical happy ending that he definitely 100% gets#he's going all out fashion wise. and to clarify i have not yet reached the ending#tma#original post#it's like playing dress up. blorbo edition. he would not do that but i love seeing it everytime#to be clear i do not want people to stop doing this i do genuinely love to see it. it's jsut funny to me#the magnus archives#tma podcast#jonathan sims

yall have got to stop conflating catharsis with praxis and/or progress.
#sometimes. often even. the most effective and productive thing to do. does not provide you#with anything as immediately gratifying as losing your temper or receiving reassurance.#catharsis and soothing have their own important place.#but yall. anger-associated behavioral urges escalate conflict literally by nature. i really don't know what to tell you.#yes it sucks that it falls on the self-aware and self-disciplined to break cycles of escalation. it's not fair.#but sincerely and genuinely who the fuck else are you expecting to do it.#and to be clear. sometimes escalation IS what you want if a higher-intensity conflict is the only way to get the other side to engage#but 9 out of 10 times that rationale doesnt actually apply to individual-level conflict situations if your goal sincerely is progress#it's advice for like. the government and megacorporations who are genuinely intentionally being evil.#or sometimes people who are slacking on their own morals and/or understanding of the social contract and need some pressure to get in gear.#it doesnt work on people who genuinely think they're doing the moral thing. it just doesnt.#bah. rage has its place but change necessitates both tearing down the ills of our society AND replacing them with something compassionate.#you guys are not actually being the cool mean radical lefties you think you are#when you belittle people who will never stop reaching out across the political aisle.

I know I said I wouldn't talk about this, but oh my GOD we are NOT comparing deporting immigrants to whatever the fuck is going on with Linguine Mansfield.
#yes I mangled his name on purpose I don't want the. god. '''stans''' finding this post#look. he's going to trial. people getting deported are not going to be given a trial. also people who have come here from another country.#yes even if they are here Illegally™. haven't done anything actually materially harmful to another person. they're literally just existing.#if what's-his-name did indeed VIGILANTE EXECUTE SOMEONE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT then he did actually do something I think is#genuinely harmful (<-because I believe vigilantism and executions and the death penalty are wrong. even if I hate the target.)#(<-which to be clear I DID hate said target. I hate insurance companies in general. I have since I was like. 11. do NOT test me on this)#if he's responsible then you cannot argue that there was no harm done or that he had some sort of inalienable human right to do that.#you CAN argue that people have an inalienable human right to HAVE A HOME AND FUCKING EXIST THOUGH.#you are all not serious people. you are not progressive. you do not care about others. you do not want there to be forward movement and#most of all you do not want to examine yourselves or your principles.#you want vigilante mobs of you and your friends to go around executing people you hate? I can't stop you from wanting that.#but at least be fucking honest that that's what you want. don't go on about hating the death penalty or being anti-prison or anti-cop.#like. lol. lmao even.#I know everyone's going to be a hypocrite sometimes but 90% of the people on this site (at LEAST) seem to want to turn hypocrisy#into an olympic sport

I think one of the reasons the Harris / Walz ticket has so much momentum is because the campaign is genuinely trying to put out this vibe of fun. Like that's all the "brat" thing is, the coconut jokes, just being kind of silly and fun.
And I think it's working, because let's be real, we are all exhausted. It's been all about preserving democracy, defeating fascism, the past eight years. The message has been "vote for us because the country is literally on the line". The vibes are not good when we are stuck back at that fight, and not even discussing trying to make progress on things like housing, healthcare, education, etc. And the fight to just stop fascism? All still true. Project 2025 is real and is extremely scary. We can't let that man back into office.
But the vibe was "vote for us otherwise we're all fucked :(" and now has shifted to "get in, we're making popcorn and then bullying fascists." Like a lot of the issues conservatives bring up, the Harris / Walz is just not engaging them in good faith, as they shouldn't. Republicans bring up abortion, and some of the Dems are just like, "you want 14 year old to give birth? Weirdo" and just leave it at that. Like YES, that's what you should do. Because it SHOULDNT be a debate. And it's working. This is how you defeat the identity politics thing Republicans have been trying to push for a while. Just mocking them for the stupidity of it all. "Like seriously? You think a book can make someone gay??? Hahaha." None of the Republicans are reacting well. They can't stand it. Vance even complained about bullying!!! Like do you KNOW who picked you as vp??? It's actually laughable, because they have no room to stand on when it comes to bullying.
And a huge part of the mocking and dismissing of Republicans is that the message is clear - we are done debating all this stupid stuff. We've won the last two elections' popular vote - most Americans do NOT want christo-facism. It's time to move on. And that's what gives me hope, and the feeling of hope I think a lot of people have picked up on. It's time to address all the issues we've all wished we've been addressing the past decade. It's important we move onto that, and that's the message I'm getting from this campaign (We're not going back). I think it will resonate with a lot of people, because plainly, we're all just sick of this same old news cycle and fake rage bait over things like "should women have rights?", "Should gay people be allowed to exist?" The general populace have answered YES to both these multiple times, and it is time to move on. Maybe I'm being naive, but I am genuinely excited at the idea of putting to bed these debates (it's exhausting trying to fend someone's very existence ) and moving on to actual economic and social policies that could fix a lot of deterioration over the last 2 decades.
