#tomorrows mission is to hyperfixate on her

[fruitsofhell]

It's really a crying shame I haven't done anything to make this part of my internet persona, but I am MASSIVELY obsessed with cartoon girlspersonal, cartooning of femininity. Like if there was an aspect of cartoon history I had to lock myself into studying, (besides racism) it would be women. I think the last time I made a fuss about this is when I wrote like a thread on Twitter about Clawroline and blocked people for shitting on her design. I ADORE Clawroline.

I also adore a lot of cartoon women from Nintendo, cause they're between outlandishly sexual or sensual as a less family-oriented brand might do, but also much sillier than say Disney women despite Disney often being seen as like them. They're also ofc coming more from Japanese cartooning sensibilities which has its own long history I'm tragically not as familiar with as those of America. But at the same time Popeye was an explicit early influence of Mario, though during that time of heaviest influence, you had Pauline portrayed in a more sexy cartoon lady way not very reminiscent of say, Olive Oil. But still not necessarily a Jessica Rabbit type yknow, and it may be more relevant to compare her design to something from anime/manga design history really, like I said I don't know.

Though once Super Mario rolled around the style very much more began to resemble comedy anime cartoon styles, and it's been like that ever since. But definitely has evolved into its own thing.

Anyways this is preamble to say, I've been silently obsessed with Wapeach. Like, I've both been kinda passive to it, but also it's something I know if I gave it my attention I'd go crazy, cause there is SO MUCH going on with that design. And there's so much that COULD be going on with that design that isn't too! My feelings on it are not negative nor positive, it's such a THING, it's crazy. It feels like a concept that would be relegated to shitty fanart by people who only draw women for Twitter thirst trapping, but supposedly the idea reached official unused design status! And it's intriguing not because it's surprising, it feels like something that would have been done forever ago, but the execution is... well its AN execution there are so many ways to go I can't say I'm surprised nor expected what they went for. Well, historical context could help, I think I've heard she was designed in the 2000s, and she looks it if so. She's deeply fascinating of a creature. A little she-beast.

Once I find the lore breakdown on the design it's over.

GENSHIN WITH A TEEN!CREATOR WHO IS LIKE LUZ NOCEDA PART TWO

okay so this is part two and i'm just so dizzy but i'v been ALL THE MAMAHUEVO day thinking about this so yeah

TW: gn reader, teenager reader (ALL IS PLATONIC), some mentions of bullying but not that many, maybe sm angstand a lot of spoilers abut the archons missions, reader calling themselfs "bad boy" but meh

part one :)

So you were running for your life

No, seriously you're running for your life, don't laugh about it again

Some random people with a very ugly green uniform were hunting you like you were some type of a witch of the 1600's because you tried to ask them for directions

People of the town being so mean to you sounds like a frocking fanfic trope

Your weak nerd legs wouldn't handle it anymore, but you still running like they have told you there is a special product of your hyperfixation on sale.

AND! you have an egg

A magic egg, with... shinny shell

Running, running, running, blahblahblah, you almost pass out when you lost them closer to a beach

Pretty view, huh?

You heard their steps and hide behind a big stone, your legs and lap now wet by the crystal water

They left and you stop holding the staff like your life dependet of it.

Oh! that's your reflection, you haven't seen your face in hours

...

THAT'S NOT YOUR FACE

The horns and the black eyes felt like some very creep vision of yourself, but you couldn't get that first impresion of you out of your head.

You looked like something, not like someone

Even though your face looks "correct" now, the feeling of the itchy skin and the fragile organs aren't something you would forget any time soon.

"Well, let's not think about that, this bad boy needs to find any social community or will cry" you jump of the stone and continue walking wherever the wind guides you

Actaully, why does the wind feels like guiding you?

pointpointpoint

WHATEVER PROBABLY YOUR SKIN FELLING TO MUCH LIKE ALWAYS :D

(Venti actually let out a big sigh lol)

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY ARE GONE, JEAN?!"

"Why do I feel a deja vu about all this?"

And there they were, the most influent persons of all Mondstadt discussin about this very serious problem to solve... and a bard (who is actually their god but shhh).

"But, what do we do now? We don't have any idea of-" the bard was interrupted by the youngest girl.

"Master Jean, we must ask to the Traveler for more information, that letter is the only thing we have? Amber asked, her frown hidding her tears.

"Sadly yes, Amber. This is the only thing we have to prepare ourself in any case" Jean said, her untied blond hair flying around.

"What do you mean with 'prepare ourself', Jean?" Diluc asked, his leg shacking with anxiety.

"Well" the witch started, avoiding eye contact.

"Aether said... that probably his Guide... the new found god that had been helping us is now..." Kaeya said, walking around the room. Everyone felt his nerves, because they were just as nervous as him. "It's now corporeal"

"What"

"Corporeal, we can touch them, they are now... With us."

Silence filled the room, holding breaths and silent screams are all the winds can reach.

"Master Jean!" Noelle enter to the room, feeling the heavy vibes of the place, still stay with a anxious face.

"What's wrong, Noelle?" she replaid.

"Umh well..." She took a deep breath, letting it all out in a shout with a bow.

"There's a prisioner teenager who scaped from the bouild with rare magic, they don't have any visions and they act like they were from another world, like Traveler!" a quiet and long time pass, slow and slow and- "Okay I'm going, anything you need just say my name."

She leave, then, a loud shout singing the same song was heard in any corner of Monds.

"THE CREATOR!"

I'M SO DIZZY THIS COULD BE A LOT BETTER BUT THAT'S IT BY NOW, TOMORROW I WILL PUBLIC THE PART 3, BYE :)

[ And Marble Hornets]

Author's note: This is what I think It would be like, you don't need to agree

Divider: @cafekitsune

Characters: Toby Rogers, Nina Hopkins, Jeff Woods, Tim Wright, Brian Thomas, Liu Woods,Kate the chaser, Ben Drowned, and Jane Richardson

۫ ּ ִ ۫ ˑ �� ִ ˑ ּ 𖥔 ���� ࣪⠀ ִ ۫ ּ ֗ ִ

❥ Toby Rogers:

– Let's be honest, he would NOT be abusive like some people say 😞

– I see him as a serious but lovely person

– He would probably not accept he was in love (and he believed that he wasn't loveable)

– If he was the first one to confess, he would have a big difficulty and would probably stutter a lot

– Now If the person confess first, he will be the most happy person ever

– BUT! Nothing is perfect, he would be always worried with his s/o because of Slenderman, and he wouldn't let his s/o close with the other proxies afraid that they could hurt them

– If he is on a mission, I can see him bringing something as a little gift (Ex: Like pretty rocks that he saw and thinked of them, or little flowers, maybe a candy...)

– If he is stressed, no, he wouldn't hit them or punch them or hurt them, he would probably get out of the place and wait until he is calm (please, remember, his father was an abusive person, he don't want to be like him)

– And If he accidentally hurt them, he would apologize sm, and would stay away from them at least for one week thinking how wrong he was for do that

– I think he craves touch but is too afraid to ask for that, and at the same time he don't want to be touched, it's complicated

– I think he would hyperfixate on them, I mean, he doesn't have very much funny on his melancholic life, so when he finally got something that bring him happiness, he would totally focus on that

– One of his ways to show affection is literally talking. Seriously, I totally see him chatting with his s/o like there's no tomorrow, and If he is talking with them, is because he trust them sm

❥ Nina Hopkins:

– You will NOT put in my head that she isn't a good girlfriend

– She will totally be jealous with them but she wouldn't be a bad girlfriend

– She would paint her and their nails (It doesn't matter If It's a boy or girl, she would do that while chatting with them)

– I don't see her as a stressed person, so I don't think she would fight with her s/o

– Totally has BPD, they will have to be patient with her

– Is a lovely person, kinda sarcastic, but lovely

– Always caring for her s/o, making or bringing little gifts, will have matching rings, would make sleepovers, will always protect them

– If someone mess with them and Nina discover (she will always know everything), the person will be 7 feets under the ground before even think to beat her

– Hugs, kisses, affection towards touch 24/7

❥ Jeff Woods:

– At first, his s/o and him would probably just be best friends (he has NPD, so his best friend would or be his chosen person or his equal person)

– After he notices that he falled in love, he would deny too, but after a while he would just start to flirt with them

– If the s/o don't show any interest, he would be pretty upset, like, he is amazing! How they couldn't even have an attraction towards him?

– But If they show interest, he will probably ask they to be his partner

– If they say yes, yipieee

– If no, he will be in a depressive mood (he failed, and he can't fail!)

– I see him as a neutral, he wouldn't be the best but would at the same time

– They're HIS equal/choosen person and HIS s/o, so he will do anything for them

– He would show more his sympathetic side, he has low empathy, but is very sympathetic with who he loves! (Wich are only his s/o and Liu, maybe friends like Ben?)

– Would buy things to them because he wants It to be special

– Isn't a very touching person but craves It (just like Toby)

– Would take some weeks for the first kiss, but It would start with holding hands, cheek's kisses and hugs

– Loves when they caress his hair! It makes him feel comfy and safe

– Feel like they're the only person that he can show his true self

– Doesn't matter what happens, he will always comes to them, and If they need something too he will be there

– If they lost someone, he wouldn't care about the person, but would care for the fact that It made his s/o sad, so he will try everything to make them better

– Show affection by acts

– In the deep, he is afraid of what his s/o thinks of him, he wants to be the best, he wants, he need to be PERFECT, and he needs his s/o to show him that he is amazing, so he will be more calm

❥ Tim Wright:

– Is complicated, a loveable person, but very anxious

– Is always worried with everything

– He totally needs a calm s/o (and he needs lots of hugs and kisses, please, give this man some comfort)

– When he has seizures, he would probably cry and look around for his s/o to make him better, and If his s/o is around, he would be embarassed but they would hug him and be there with him to make him feel comfortable

– About his hallucinations, his s/o would need to make him feel calm, saying things like: "I'm so sorry for what you have seen, that was kinda scary right? But i'm here! I will protect you, okay?" This would make him the most happy person ever because he knows that he is safe around them

– He is the type of guy to be shy at first, he would probably buy flowers for them, would hang out, ect...

– He would try his best to protect you from the Operator, and would be desesperate If something happens with them

– Loves everything about them, EVERYTHING

❥ Brian Thomas:

– That Guy, my friend that guy is... Is something

– Not something bad, something AMAZING

– He would always try to make them smile, would buy gifts, buy flowers, Go on shops, walks... Anything

– I can't see him dying!! He would force himself to stay alive for them

– Hugs, kisses, Hugs, hugs, hugs, and more kisses

– I think he can cook, so he would make something special for them

– He is the type of guy to make a heart with his hands If they're mad with him (Depends of why they're mad too)

❥ Liu Woods:

– When he dissociates, I think Sully would be neutral with them, If they make Liu happy, they make Sully happy

– Liu is always trying to make them happy

– He lost a lot, he can't lost them too

– Liu loves Jeff, and would probably say about his partner with him, but Sully would be scared of what Jeff can do and would be a little paranoic

– When he is on a dissociating situation, his s/o would try to make him comfortable, Sully and Liu would be very grateful

– If he has amnesia with what happened on a random day, they would try to help him to feel better and say what happened, again, Liu and Sully would be grateful

– He would buy roses for his s/o, Go on walks in the forest, read books with them, even read books for them

– Loves to be hugged with them, in silence, eyes closed, just him and his loved one, nothing more

❥ Kate the chaser:

– First of all, she would take a long time to trust them

– After finally trusting them, she would always talk with you

– "Am I being a good girlfriend? Do I need to be better? I love you so much, If you need anything, i'm here"

– Is afraid of Slenderman, and don't want them to be around when he is close

– Like Toby, she would bring little gifts from missions, but would make drawings and made by hand gifts!

– Not very touching but doesn't care with hugs or holding hands (but If they're too clingy, she will take a time to get used to It)

❥ Ben Drowned:

– He is a teenager, teenagers are the different of adults or almost adults

– Very flirty, but can suddenly become the most melancholic person ever

– Loves hugs and kisses

– Likes to play some games with them (But doesn't have patience for teaching)

– Sometimes he has nightmares with the drowning, so he will come to them but just saying he missed them (He actually feels more safe around them)

– I don't see him as a dating relantionship, more like a platonic relantionship

– So he will probably be more like a bro then a boyfriend

– Literally "friends with benefits"

❥ Jane Richardson:

– That woman is perfect

– Wants gifts? Here It is. Wants to Go on a walk? Around on the walk. Needs to talk? She is here to listen to them. Food? Theirs favorite is on the table

– Will do anything to make them happy

– Hugs, kisses, affection, everything

– Would be worried with her appearance, but soon they reassure her, she will be more comfortable

– Doesn't fight, she is a very calm person, and If It happens, would probably the first to apologize, even If she didn't did anything, she just want them to be happy.

My headcanons!! 💜☁️💜

Why and when did Kyoya leave Namimori?

I think Kyoya left Namimori when he turned 18. Because I headcanon Sawada Nana is a cloud that used to have Namimori as her territory before Iemitsu messed her up. When Kyoya finds this out, he feels A LOT. None of his emotions are good about it btw.

Did he leave willingly?

In the end, he leaves Namimori of his own free will, even if he has to force himself to go. In fact, he just straight up disappears off the face of the world for a while. Leaves behind his armband and a letter explaining what's up and disappears without a single warning lmao. Tsuna&Co freak out about it too.

Was he on a mission of Foundation work?

I think after Kyoya leaves Namimori he has too much freetime so he creates the Foundation to keep himself busy. So he was doing Foundation work before the Millefiore attacked and he had to go back to Namimori for the first time in 8 years.

Was Kyoya in Italy when the Vongola branch fell?

I don't think Kyoya would've been in Italy when the Millefiore attacked. Even TYL!Kyoya doesn't strike me as someone very interested in the mafia, aside from the fighting. He probably tends to keep his distance unless there is information or battles to be had. Even Gamma claims the Millefiore intelligence couldn't figure out if Hibari was Vongola's ally or enemy but that will be a different post altogether :3c

Did he have an ulterior motive aside from saving the teens?

I think Kyoya has a lot of love and affection for his fellow guardians so his return was primarily to protect them. But I think there was an ulterior motive too. Afterall, helping Vongola out would put a lot of his personal projects on hold. That motive being... Rokudo Mukuro. Cause I think they've come to an understanding (will be it's own post) and Kyoya wanted him freed.

Was this the excuse he needed to return, or would he rather not?

I think Kyoya would prefer to keep his own business and Namimori a little seperate these days. He tends to hyperfixate and Namimori grabs his attention very easily. So he probably came back at least somewhat unwillingly.

Also some my headcanons for the TYL timeline and what Hibari did after leaving!

Don't worry folks! He reappeared after like a month at the Cavallone mansion in Italy. People were so mad at him, but he wasn't in a good place either, so any anger got met with dismissal and annoyance. He didn't even feel up to fighting for a while cause forced cloud territory removal hurts. Luckily Dino had some spare patience and understanding laying around so Kyoya wasn't kicked out onto the streets.

After recuperating, I think Kyoya packed some stuff, bought a cheap campavan and went to travel the world on his own. Plenty of shenanigans were had. Foundation was created. Kyoya accidentally forged a whole worldwide network, so he does qualify as a pretty good informant these days.

Kyoya is actually met with a lot of disrespect when it comes to mafia people, especially clouds, cause they view him abandoning Namimori and being wishy washy about the Vongola as his loyalties being fickle. Incorrect since he kept the Committee alive and well. Namimori is still absolutely thriving under his long distance love.

Kyoya leaving actually improved his relationships with Tsuna&Co in the long term since they had to seek him out when they needed him and eventually ended up spending prolonged periods of time with him one on one. No crowding, no noisiness, no fighting. Under these specific circumstances Kyoya is an absolutely pleasant lad I reccon. This headcanon skews heavily into All/Kyoya territory lmao. Kyoya likes skinship and intimacy to show affection. He's no good with words lmao

That's it for now! More headcanons will be had tomorrow!! Or whenever I remember to post the next panel lmao

This scene!!!! 💜☁️💜

This is the first time we actually see TYL!Hibari Kyoya. And this one panel brings with it a whole entire slew of my headcanons!!!

Because Kyoya said 'It's been a long time Namimori' which immediately makes me think that he left Namimori quite a while ago. Perhaps several years. Which brings me a whole slew of questions to be answered!

Why did TYL!Hibari say this?

When did he leave?

Did he leave willingly or did he feel forced to go?

Was he just on a mission, or does Foundation require that he permanently be away from Namimori to do his resesarch himself?

Where was he? Was he in Italy? If so, does that mean he happened to witness the fall of Vongola's Italian branch?

Why did he come back? Obviously to protect the teenage Vongola, but did he have a personal reason? An ulterior motive?

Was this the excuse he needed to get back to Namimori, or... Would he rather avoid tending to Namimori in person?

OR!! Is all this moot and he's just being dramatic? Like he was gone for a week on some random retrieval/beat em up mission and he's bitter about it?

Do consider just a few panels before or after this TYL!Yamamoto claimed this when talking about Kyoya: 'I was just on a mission myself, so I have no idea where that guy is.' All of which, to me, indicates that Kyoya moves about frequently. Within or outside of Namimori's borders.

I have headcanons for allll of these questions, but I'm also gonna let the community participate in this! Reblog this with your ideas, or tell me your headcanons in the comments! I will try to reply or interact with everyone as well as reblog this myself with my own headcanons!! :D

Mine?

Masterlist

“Marry me,” Oliver said, one kneecap digging into the ground before her.

“No.”

“Please?”

You smiled at him, “Let me think… No.”

“I’m going to marry you, you know.”

“No you’re not.”

“I am too.”

His face was pulled taut as he scanned the damage done. Bruises scattered across your abdomen, arms, back, legs. Cuts littering your body, some of them gashes.

But the broken bone was what did it for him. He didn’t have access to a healer here, the best he could do was put a bandage around it and see how it fares.

“And how am I looking tonight, doctor?”

“Beautiful, as always.”

Your head turned, becoming more sober by the second. “You really think that?”

“Not one shadow of a doubt.”

You nodded, putting your head back down on your forearms, wincing whenever he put alcohol on your cuts.

“You know this could’ve been avoided if you went to a doctor.”

“I’m in Ketterdam. I can’t just walk around singing hydie ho, can I?”

“No, but you could’ve at least been keeping an eye on these instead of stressing the body.”

You huffed, rolling your eyes. He sensed your emotional discomfort and changed the subject. He knew seeing Kaz again wasn’t ideal, even if you were drunk and have a slight chance of forgetting tomorrow.

“I could always make fixing your broken bones a full time job though. At a price, of course.”

“And what would that be?”

“Marry me.”

“In your dreams, sweetheart.”

He couldn't have meant it. If only he did.

If only he wanted you to be his.

~*~

If only he had been there. Gotten there quicker.��

Cracked ribs? Not something to joke about. And drinking beer while the Dime Lions were after you? Also not an amazing idea.

But you could take care of yourself, he knew. He knew you could. You just didn’t have backup. And when someone doesn’t have backup, they’re essentially screwed ten times over. You always used to say that to him when he denied your help on missions. How he wished he’d taken you up on your offer then.

If he had let himself recognize that he’d fallen in love with you and hadn’t been using you as a rebound.

If he had spared you that second glance. Actually, that may have been the one thing he didn’t regret about the whole situation. If he had looked at you again he would’ve broken even more.

He remembered your reddened cheeks and nose from the cold and the alcohol, the droplets of water still on your eyelashes from the frigid weather. He remembered the expression on your face when he walked into the bar.

He remembered how your face had completely fallen when he walked in. 

Was it a sign of hope?

A sign of futility?

Were you his? Were you Oliver’s?

But that didn’t matter. You were here now, and he’d save himself from breaking, and you from the Dime Lions.

Even if it was the last thing he’d do.

Episode 2 time!

Kate being starstruck over Clint is just a mood

Clint throwing the Molotov back at the tracksuits is peak behaviour

I know I freaked out about it before but Clint so casually blending in with the fire department and being the good spy agh

Fixing Kate up and teaching her how to properly clean and treat the wounds 😭

“I’m not selling halloween costumes or toys off the shelf” - so depressingly true that I’ve never been able to find nice Hawkeye merch

His stupid ass LARP armour being more protection than Nat ever got 😭

“I fought Thanos” is still incredibly funny to me

I’m obsessed by Clint’s storage/dropbox somewhere in the city, and wondering how often he and Nat used it in the past on missions or if it’s just a place he chose randomly to store the suit

Ik Jack is the red herring of the series but watching it again with the view of him being innocent is so weird bc he’s either just a super creepy dude or utterly oblivious and really just wants to fence and fight against someone as good as him and is like an excited little puppy

I really wanna know how long Clint was just pacing on the street corner with his bow and arrow just waiting to be caught, he looks so bored it’s probably been hours and the tracksuits are just that inept

Enrique (apparently a named tracksuit according to my subs) getting defensive over their choice of hideout and how all old warehouses are being converted to loft flats, I mean true bad guy lackey problems

I just fucking love this show istg if I didn’t have to get up for work tomorrow I would absolutely watch it all tonight

I am so sorry I wasn't awake for these asks lol

I don't know what I love more, Kate being in fangirl mode or Clint just being so tired and patient while she does it lol

THE MOLOTOV BIT IS SO UNDERAPPRECIATED??? LIKE IF BUCKY OR STEVE DID IT THE FANDOM WOULD STILL BE TALKING ABOUT IT? BUT IT GOT BARELY ANY BUZZ EVEN DURING THE TRAILER RELEASE AND IT'S SO GOOD??? LIKE HOT AS FUCK, HE DOES IT ALL IN LIKE ONE FLUID MOTION IT'S AMAZING

And I know I've said this before, but Clint in the fireman suit 👀👀👀 and I have literally never been into the whole man-in-uniform thing before. Seriously, actual picture of me during that scene:

The way Clint was with Kate was EXACTLY how I pictured him fixing up the reader in To Ashes, and I feel so VALIDATED

Speaking of Hawkeye merch, there's a person on tiktok who makes fandom inspired underbust corsets and I swear that's where ALL MY MONEy is going as soon as I start actually earning again. I need the Hawkeye, Wanda, and Tony ones in my life immediately

Is it a dropbox? I thought he just rented a locker at a train/bus station. Is that a thing? Or was it ever? America confuses me tbh lol

I'm always gonna be a little disappointed they removed Jack from Clint's backstory and we still didn't really get much in the way of circus Clint, but Jack is just so fun and the fact that his whole personality was just I LOVE SWORDS gives me life lmao. Me on any hyperfixation.

I was a little bummed they changed the line when the tracksuits find clint because the one in the trailer is so funny, but ugh, I love my highly competent boy. Just sitting there casually untying himself while being held hostage. A gem.

[wavebiders]

Operation: "Ignore the Shitty Live Action Winx Show and Just Rewatch the Cartoon for the First Time in Almost a Decade" part 15:

In which the girls treat potentially cheating with the same intensity as any of the actual threats they've faced.

The way Bloom was super on edge when she saw the class laughing at her, and it wasn't until Flora pointed out the ink on her face that she relaxed. Former bullied kid right there you can't convince me otherwise

Hmmm, for some reason I had it in my head that the show wouldn't really be showing lasting effects of the shit that goes down, cause you know most early 2000's cartoons really didn't. But Bloom actually seems like she's pretty exhausted from everything that's been happening

I could be reading too much into it ofc. It may as well just be a way to bring focus back to her dreams, but since the last-time-on did make a point of saying it was only the girls and Mirta that kept her from leaving Magix last episode, I'm inclined to believe it's not just that

Yeesh, they're all prickly as hell. Yeah, it's gotta be on purpose. Kudos for actually letting the teen heroes be stressed tf out

"If you cheat to get a good grade you'll regret it later!" "How can I know that for sure if I've never tried it?" Fgfgjjh

Good on Kiko for showing napping solidarity with his girl

"Were you kicked out of school?" "How did they know about the envelope?" "Do they know we had something to do with it?" "Has tomorrow's test been cancelled" big the-squad-shares-one-braincell energy from this episode

He hasn't called her since that mission that was his idea? Oh, buddy you've already lost most of my childhood love for you by being bland and bc your girlfriend has better chemistry with her best friend. Please, do not make me root against you

"Stop! There's a weird symbol on that door!" "You mean the kitchen sign?" After the Girlfriends™️, Musa and Stella's dynamic has to be my favorite in the show lmao

The envelope is fake, right? I feel like I remember it being fake and every dorm got one, and the Winx were the only ones not to cheat?

"You two always complain the loudest, but who always get the best grades? Musa and Flora"

Flora getting good grades was obvious but Musa surprises me. She's got those slacker vibes. But then she also has "pretends she doesnt care but actually really cares" vibes so that kinda works with her being a surprisingly good student

I love that that implies Tecna doesn't get the best grades lmao. Wbk Stella and Bloom are a mess, but I really do enjoy the idea that The Smart One isn't all that good at school

I WAS RIGHT! See? This is why I never did well in school. All my brain power goes to remembering details about my hyperfixations

Bloom regularly gets almost murdered at this point but is still ready to cry about parent-teacher conferences. Im taking this as confirmation that school's always been hell for her

Day 28: Drunkstuck

Alright, lasses, we’re starting this evening with a Vesper already in us, so let’s see how that and a couple other drinks make us feel about Homestuck.

https://homestuck.com/story/3764

Scratch’s Apartment.

Both of these little interludes with alternative narrators take place in a liminal space between the game partitions of Homestuck. I wonder how significant that actually is? I think we should probably take it as significant to the manner in which the story is told. But I’m repeating myself now from yesterday’s musing a little.

More after the break.

CW: Following up on the throughline of the past few, this one does mention suicide again.

https://homestuck.com/story/3771

I think it’s interesting that in spite of his quality as sexless, Doc Scratch is not only definitively masculine, but actually identifies himself as a man. Probably one of those features caused by Caliborn’s hyperfixation on masculinity.

Scratch’s description also tells us a little bit about Luck, and about Light here. What Vriska is doing when she steals her opponents’ luck probably requires that she be in conflict with someone - and then her powers create the most favorable possible outcome for herself, and the least favorable possible outcome for her opponent. Favorable here is the keyword, because Light is about meaning, and favor is a kind of meaning, determined by the one bestowing the favor - people create meaning by desiring outcomes.

https://homestuck.com/story/3789

I enjoy the way that Scratch’s dialogue is characterized by this sort of barely bearable self-aggrandizement.

https://homestuck.com/story/3817

Scratch calls attention to the way that certain imagery is specifically a reproduction of other imagery. Memes as reproduction.

https://homestuck.com/story/3852

Vriska’s conception of morality and personal worth remains essentially transactional - she views her evil deeds as being errors, debts that she racks up against reality, debts which she can perhaps redeem with acts of sufficient virtue.

https://homestuck.com/story/3855

I think it’s hilarious that Caliborn’s infantile view of intimacy causes Doc Scratch to react so negatively to expressions of it in his presence.

https://homestuck.com/story/3856

There’s so much emotion in this pesterlog. Vriska really does yearn to be good, but she doesn’t know how to be, and she wouldn’t succeed - not without a good teacher.

Vriska can talk as much as she wants about wanting to be a better person, but the fact that she sees so many of her evil or “great” deeds as being things that are just necessary would prevent her from doing it.

Just moving to a different mode of existence doesn’t change a thing for the person occupying that mode of existence. You have to make a change to the way that you think, and the way you approach things if you want your life to change substantively.

https://homestuck.com/story/3860

An ignoble end to a pitiable wretch.

Jack’s intervention, I think, doesn’t cause Vriska’s death, so much as it is intended to make it all the more melodramatic. Note that an instant before he strikes, the clock has definitively landed on Just.

https://homestuck.com/story/3866

Dave continues to be extremely pragmatic. He has guessed that Jack won’t hurt Jade, and is willing to use her as a meat shield with that in mind. It’s pretty stone cold.

https://homestuck.com/story/3871

Karkat repeats Gamzee’s dialogue almost word for word.

I wonder why exactly Karkat and Gamzee get along. It seems to be an informed attribute to me, like, it is propositionally true, but they don’t really have any kind of chemistry or almost any meaningful scenes together, they hug once, and have a couple of pesterlogs ever, one in which Gamzee threatens Karkat.

It’s like... a relationship that only exists mechanically in the plot.

https://homestuck.com/story/3879

I really never realized like, the extent to which Rose is pretty much suicidal from the moment that her Mom dies to near the end of the comic. Her fascination with Dave’s dream-deaths are extremely clear, and she spends nearly the entire duration of the meteor trip self-annihilating, attaining to union with oblivion through soporifics.

Rose isn’t talking about Dave, of course, when she discusses suicide missions as not a form of self-sacrifice, but a form of escape. She’s talking about herself.

https://homestuck.com/story/3895

This whole sequence really is a lot of spectacle with not much substantive emotional content, but that’s okay. It’s pretty good spectacle, and there’s a few nuggets.

https://homestuck.com/story/3912

The way that a character’s earliest choices shape the entire rest of their life, irrevocably, is a big part of the identity of Homestuck as a work. You can never, ever, undo anything that you’ve ever done.

https://homestuck.com/story/3923

The gulf between John and his Dad cannot be crossed. His guardian is truly lost beyond the possibility of recall. This is the single greatest tragedy in Homestuck.

https://homestuck.com/story/3900

Dave positively cannot help himself except to destroy things he touches.

https://homestuck.com/story/3945

I have read Homestuck through Three Times, and I’m still not entirely sure what the Denizens are supposed to represent.

I think probably the most obvious thing that they are supposed to represent, and manifest, is fear.

The Denizens represent all the anxiety that the characters possess. The anxiety about their environment. The anxiety about their Guardians. The anxiety about their peers. Their anxiety about themselves. And what we are supposed to take away from the fact that the Denizens are benign is this;

There’s nothing to fear.

https://homestuck.com/story/3953

The Trolls lash out at their Guardians and fight them without listening to a thing that they say, because they expect the Denizens to be hostile. They don’t pause for a second to consider that they might be benign.

It takes someone who is accustomed to the idea of longsuffering and compassion to be able to communicate with them.

Someone like John.

https://homestuck.com/story/3986

So what’s the signifiance of this?

I’ve already delved into like, the extent to which the relationship between Dave and Bro uncomfortably recalls the practice of Pederasty.

So what are we supposed to take away from the fact that Gamzee, who symbolizes Bro, is attracted to Tavros, who symbolizes the side of Dave that is vulnerable and soft?

I don’t think the answer is that Bro is literally attracted to Dave, but that the hegemonic abuse of English’s dupes extends to every part of the person, not just physical or mental, but sexual. Gamzee’s relationship with Tavros could never be anything but one of hierarchical domination.

https://homestuck.com/story/3978

Hey remember when I reminisced fondly about GameBro? This is one of those times.

Kanaya’s fascination with Vampires, and the characterization thereof as Trashy is a Twilight thing! You might not know this if you are An ZoomerTM but back in the late thousands, around the time HS was being written, there was this series of novels called Twilight being written that were just... hated. Check out the TVTropes page, if you haven’t.

https://homestuck.com/story/4002

Karkat can’t help but blame himself for practically everything that goes wrong. If there’s something bad that happens, it’s on him.

More tomorrow.

For now, Cam signing off, Alive, and little pissed. Just not pissed off today.

Fandom: BNHA 

Characters: Dabi, Natsuo 

Summary: Crumpled up letters littered the ground around Dabi's trash bin. Nothing ever felt right and it was never the right time, so why bother?

Notes: This was 100% the product of me hyperfixating on Dabi for the last week and a half. CWs for mentions of physical child abuse and death but nothing detailed. Ende*vor can go die :) 

Word Count: 709 

---

Dabi threw another crumpled paper into the trash. Another letter he couldn’t finish, another missed opportunity to let his family know he’s still alive. Not that they would care, he thought. He kept enough tabs on them to know that their lives weren’t really affected by his “death.” They moved on, very rarely even saying his name or alluding to his existence. 

He knew Endeavor kept a photo of him from his school days in the house. Dabi didn’t know why, since he could still feel his hand around his neck at night, the only scars that weren’t self-inflicted. Maybe deep, deep down, Endeavor actually regretted what he did, regretted holding him down and trying to kill him until Dabi covered himself in flames just to escape. He saw on the news the next day that he was considered dead to the world. 

The days after that were a blur in his memory, even completely gone. Probably for the best, since emotions like those only hindered the mission now. If heroes are so just, how could the number 2 hero have done that to him? The whole system was rotten to the core and Stain put his thoughts into words. 

His hand squeezed the pen, trying to ground himself in reality again. This wasn’t odd, his mind always wandered to his past when he was alone. What could’ve been different if he was just a better kid, if he could have kept up with Endeavor’s training, if he could have just tolerated the abuse. Maybe Shouto could have had a normal life. 

Dabi moved his hand to grab another piece of paper and try another letter. At least this was a little healthier than just letting his thoughts consume him. Writing them out was cathartic. But none of these letters could ever be sent. Not that they were ever finished so they could be sent anyway. 

Dear Natsu, 

He paused. He didn’t even know what to say here. He knew that Natsuo blamed Endeavor, rightly, in his “death” and hadn’t let it go. Maybe the only one who really was affected by his “death.” Not surprising though, since they were practically best friends when they were younger. But even then, he still moved on. Was it wrong, Dabi thought, that he felt angry that his death didn’t seem to affect his family except when they were angry? There never seemed to be any “I wish Touya could have seen this” or “I wish Touya was here with us right now.” 

He crumpled the paper up again and threw it towards the garbage bin before standing up. Dabi moved towards one of the drawers that was still held together by sheer willpower in his shitty apartment and removed the false bottom. He kept some emergency cash in case the property owners decided to finally tear the place down. That shouldn’t be happening any time soon though so he could build it back up. 

Dabi grabbed an envelope and another clean sheet of paper and scribbled something on it before stuffing both of them into the envelope and leaving. 

--- 

“I had a lot of fun today, Natsu.” 

“I’m glad! I was honestly a little nervous that you wouldn’t like it.” 

“Why? It was basically my dream date and you knew that!” 

Natsu chuckled. “I know but I was just worried about it is all. This is my first serious relationship and I don’t want to mess it up.” 

“Well it was perfect. I’ll see you in class tomorrow?” 

“Yeah, see you in class.” 

Natsu pecked her on the cheek before letting her leave for her home. He watched her for a moment, wondering how he got so lucky to have her for a girlfriend. But eventually, he had to go home too. 

He opened the door and an envelope fell from between the frame and the door. He wasn’t expecting any mail today and the mailman never left it in such an odd place as the door frame. Not wanting to take it into the house, lest it be poisonous or something (his father’s enemies knew no boundaries), he opened it in the doorway. 

Inside was a wad of cash and a short, hastily scribbled note. 

Get her something nice. -T

Behind The Blog

I was tagged by @rosyrosalie to talk about what goes into the making of my blog, so without further ado, let’s begin!

Icon : Luisa D’Oliveira, the most beautiful woman my eyes have ever seen who leaves me weak in the knees. I have such an intense crush on her, it’s ridiculous.

My content : The 100(mostly Memori because they’ve captured my attention the most, but I make gifs of other character sometimes, too), Doctor Who, The Musketeers, 12 Monkeys, various video games, and movies. Basically my blog has gone through varying eras of different fandoms as I’ve drifted from one hyperfixation to the other.

Letter color : If this is about font colors in captions or in text posts, I seem to have a preference for pinks, blues, and purples...can you tell I’m bisexual?

Header : A beautiful gif of my ship looking positively gorgeous. Emori and Murphy are completely my aesthetic!

URL : The name, Door to Tomorrow, is a reference to my all time favourite Final Fantasy game, Final Fantasy X. Initially, this blog was going to be all about video games, but then I got into Doctor Who, and it snowballed from there into being a general blog.

My blog title : The same as above!

And now I’m gonna tag : @daisytachi, @mobi-on-a-mission, and @nicoleanell
