Phoenix are you gay

Because then you can call the person that says you got no rights homophonic 😌

"Well, I mean... I don't really have a gender so I guess no matter what gender I love, I'm still technically gay. At least to think that's how it works?"

I wish we had more info on adachi's family life besides some tidbits about his relationship with his parents, but speculating is fun too! I have some disorganized thoughts below the cut about if Adachi had a sibling

I imagine he is an only child (I initially assumed he would have told us about a sibling but Adachi loves to hide information about himself and also I have had plenty of instances irl where I have known someone awhile and didn't know they had siblings) but I could also see him having an older sibling with a significant age gap?

I think it could really feed into his inferiority complex (that he tries to hide lol) having an older sibling who did well and set high expectations. maybe the older sibling was the planned sibling and he was more of an "accident." maybe his parents were doting at times, just not towards him. maybe by the time he came around, they didn't feel like putting in as much effort and wanted him to just follow in his older sibling's footsteps. it's entirely possible he's an only child and his parents set high expectations either way, but I think it's interesting to think of an alternate possibility. the reason I suggest the two would have a significant age gap is 1) that can make it harder to bond with a sibling if you're an adult and living your own life while they're still in, say, elementary school (not that it's impossible! just requires more effort) and that 2) in my experience and that of those around me, parents can be VEEERYY different in their parenting from one child to another, but especially so when you compare one sibling to another born 10 years later. I think all of this could contribute to the persistent resentment that is so central to his character.

I also think this would draw further parallels to him and the dojimas. like the Dojima family being what he wants but can't have. I think he relates to nanako even if he doesn't realize it re: feelings of parental neglect. and I think having a big brother like yu who was so caring would have been good for him

Valentine's is almost here. Gives dev a big chocolate heart but fancy. 💘 How does the bois react to mc giving them handmade cards and their living Mini garden (mc is a florist) as their treat?

Ahhh! CHOCOLATE! Gimme!

Lynde

He suddenly felt very inadequate with his chocolate and flowers. You had actually made your presents yourself and here he was with just storebought things! For shame Lynde! He scolded himself as he took your gifts with a soft smile. "Danke Lämmchen. These are wonderful. But I feel that I should give you more...perhaps we could go into the botanical garden?" He smiled and held his arm out for you to hook into. "I heard they have a nice little café there too. How about we check it out? My treat of course"

Traum

Seeing you enter the dreamscape so close to them makes their heart jump. Traum hurried over to you and their eyes widened at the sight of the presents. "Oh. OH! Oh Right! It is Valentines today!" As an entity of dream they had no real sense of time inside the dreamscape. "I thought that was over already...hm...now I don't have a present to give to you.." They seemed lost in thought for a moment before a mischievious grin appeared on their face. With a swift motion they pick you up and carry you bridal style. "I know what we can do~ I am going to show you my special hiding place~ And then we can just do whatever we want together~ All alone~"

Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.

For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.

I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.

Oh, Aang, you're really in it now...

This is Zu—I mean, Jian Li and Katara's second meeting in the Kyoshi Warriors AU. The first proper one, anyway.

Once they get through a minor difference of opinion or two (“I can carry my own basket!” “Never said you—” “I'm not weak!” “I didn't—” “Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean—” “Would you listen for once, woman?!” ) they'll become nearly inseparable.

For now Jian Li will carry Katara's basket all the way to the Kyoshi Warriors' dojo and, once there, they'll mercilessly tease Sokka when they see him in uniform.

Wuthering Waves has taken over all of my free time recently, so here's a sketch of Scar!Ren I originally shared in da 14DWY Discord!!

[acediscowlng]

thinking about how both edwin and charles refer to edwin getting sent to hell as a technicality or a clerical error and like. it's not. that's not what happened. edwin was sacrificed. hell had a mechanism for accepting innocent souls. edwin ending up in hell wasn't a loophole or a mistake someone made along the way. it was a system that was working exactly the way it was intended.

and thinking about the idea of hell and the idea of forgiveness and the idea that you only stay in hell if you feel like you belong there. and how edwin says that he was never meant to be in hell to begin with but still building up a case for himself to prove it because him not deserving hell might not be immediately obvious

thinking about how edwin died because of a hate crime, how he died being made to feel that there is something fundamentally wrong with him and getting sent to hell right after. and thinking about how edwin saying "if you punish yourself, everywhere becomes hell" and over a century of repression and supressing the parts of himself that got him killed, that got him sent to hell in the first place. and thinking about how when the night nurse looked at edwin's file, it didn't know if he belonged in hell or somewhere else either because edwin didn't know because edwin knows that he never did anything to deserve hell but he didn't get sent to hell because of anything he did but because of what he is and maybe there's a difference and maybe he believes that he never did anything wrong but maybe some part of him believes that he, personally, is wrong

and thinking about forgiveness and salvation and how people actually get out of hell, and how edwin forgave simon because they were two queer kids in the same shitty situation both in life and in death and it didn't matter how simon hurt edwin because he still needed to understand that being gay was not a punishment, and thinking about simon getting out of hell right after

and thinking about edwin confessing his love for charles on the steps of hell and getting to leave right after and how hell is something you make for yourself and how edwin escaped the first time but he never forgave himself for what he is and not something hecdid maybe hell still had a hold on him after all those years and it wasn't until he let himself be honest about it and be gay and love boys and allowed himself to actively choose to be the person he is and deciding that that person is someone who is allowed to feel and love and that that kind of love was not a punishment and thinking about how edwin escaped hell by not just allowing himself to love but leaving behind all the ways he was punishing himself for it
