Diomedes really cranked the "simp-o-meter for Odysseus" from 0 to 12 in approximately 0.6 seconds in book 10 (choose ur spy buddy) and im snort-laughing.
Partially because of how Unnecessarily Extra Diomedes is.
And then even more so because of how Extremely Done Odysseus is in his reply (every time he uses the "long-suffering Odysseus" epithet i fucking DIE laughing. I can FEEL the -_-)
But also, because I feel like the opposite is more typical (Odysseus having the flowery flattering speeches and Diomedes just, like, "read at 2pm"-ing him in return):
I am choosing to headcanon that Dio is very subtly/very gently teasing/mocking Odysseus. And that Ody has done the "oh i pick Diomedes the incredible, the unmatchable, unwinnable force of the gods' will!!!" thing to him recently and Dio is now just throwing it back at him in a "do u hear what u sound like when u talk???" Kind of way.
Which is why Ody is peak "i am Unamused by this, diomedes" in the scene. Because he knows he's being gently roasted in a way the others likely won't pick up on/which is Just For Him.
And i think that's beautiful

thing is like. it is weird that we know basically nothing about Sakamoto's life prior to joining the war. We get a throwaway line from Gintoki secondhand about how his family were rich merchants from Tosa and. that's it. that's all we got. and it's kind of egregious because basically every other character save for the very minor-est ones have *some* kind of childhood/'youth' flashback (off the top of my head, the other egregious omissions are Bansai, Catherine, Shimaru and Matsudaira) but Sakamoto, despite being one of Gintoki's oldest and closest friends and a relatively key character in some arcs, just never gets any kind of backstory, nor does he ever mention a single thing about who he is, where he came from, or what his family are like.
And it's interesting because observing Sakamoto you realise he just kind of never talks about himself in general. We get his Kaientai backstory from Mutsu. The story behind his injury gets told as a wartime flashback but he's not recounting it to anyone (does anyone even know, besides the people who were there?) For someone as affable and open-hearted as he is, it feels quite strange that he's kind of a closed book insofar as who he is, outside of "guy who laughs a lot and loves ships and drinks probably too much and throws up more than he gets laid".
The internal monologue where he says he couldn't tell the other three how he really feels about them because they wouldn't want him around anymore makes me wonder how much of what you see is only what he's letting people see (in the same way he gets Gintoki's name right in a critical moment - demonstrating that he's been doing it on purpose the entire time) (i think it's also pertinent that he is crazy competent when he chooses to be, and has several times proven to be the vital catalyst in turning the tide of a bad situation, both in terms of tactical intelligence and negotiation skills.) Isn't it a bit weird that the guy who'd fight fiercely to defend Zura's name and recount his entire backstory from memory to assert how wrong his doubters are, would just never mention anything about himself, even in his own defence?
Idk. I know this is Overthinking Central over here and I also know it's probably just that Sorachi didn't bother writing a backstory for him (T.T) but it's also a fairly consistent character trait and I'm gonna need to start a 20 hour mind project minimum to figure out why I think it might be.
#he makes jokes about his injury in the moment but you can see it bothers him in the present that it's “the only way he can fight”#in the same way that you only get that one (1) moment of sincerity regarding how tired he is of watching his friends die#before he covers it up with talk about fishing for stars and other whimsy#i think there's something in Sakamoto being a man who thinks into the future instead of the past#he doesn't know Mutsu is a Yato after 10 years with her because the past is irrelevant to him unless someone deigns to share that informati#he doesn't care what Takasugi did wrong only that he's in trouble now and needs their help#he's initially pissed at Nobunobu for what he did but forgives him instantly when he demonstrates remorse and remedial intent#Zura's backstory mattered in that moment because it was to illustrate who he is now and why he deserves respect for it#he's willing to work with the Liberation Army if they'll help and willing to kill them if they won't#I think it's at least in part a nod to the fact that his head is always in the future#he left to find a better way to solve the conflict than war#because he believed there was a better future to be had and that he could be the architect of this (not unlike zura) (but with fewer bombs)#not that he doesn't like to reminisce on the past because he clearly does#but he has a tendency to let other people do the talking about it#it's interesting to see those small moments of insecurity too#where he perceives himself as being less important or less belonging than the other 3 (stares at all the joui fanart omitting sakamoto)#something else i need to ponder for a bit#man. i wish we knew anything about him pre-war#i wish we had any indication of what his childhood was like#there's even more missing time with him than there is the other 3#we don't even know what he looked like as a kid!#sorachi why :(#anyway shutting up now thx bye#gintama

Shockingly I named some OCs recently and fleshed out the deity lore a bit for my "guess i'll marry the demon lord?" plot.
Solei has existed since near the start but Mehra and Valdas are new to the concept and all three? Petty. They're technically the Trio of Peace cause that's kinda their goal and duty to their world but really, Trio of Pettiness is suitable as well.
#my characters#they all have a petty dislike for reynold and reynold is blissfully unaware that mehra even exists to dislike him#most of his interactions outside of the demons are with solei#also for mehra its important to note that she really is affinity! not affection! she doesnt have any interest in love/affection#all she needs is for affinities to remain neutral at worst and positive at best#solei plays off of that by making sure the affinities between races are all the same wavelength#and that is why when sascha (the demon lord) tries to gather all the demons to keep them close and protect#she gets the wrong idea that he is gathering an army to fight since thats what the previous demon lord had done#which is why the demons got spread out a bit and sascha basically has to collect them again#valdas is all about order and balance and hes always right dont you DARE say hes wrong#his word and his thoughts are law to him and therefore should be law to all#he seems incredibly stubborn and he will be a little more forceful but if you can state your case to him#and he can logically see he is factually in the wrong ? he will not admit it out loud but he will change his ways immediately#he has a strong sense of justice its just not always the best for all (which is where solei comes in and has to help rarely)#mehra refuses to interact with the demons and reynold because while her ties to affinity for her world are important#she knows the demons dont hate the gods/goddesses and thats enough for her!#but also mehra and valdas have a natural dislike for reynold due to him not even being from their world which creates bumps#to both affinities (demons adore this one human now) and order (theres literally a human married to the demon lord which has never happened#solei doesnt like reynold and would LOVE to smack him upside the head sure but valdas is the one that would actively throw hands with him#valdas despises him so much for very petty reasons#the reason isnt listed above but thats fine im tired bye

fascinated by the implied fennec-ventress-phee friend group in tbb. even more interesting (funny) when you add boba in there during the tbobf era.
#star wars#tbb#the bad batch#tbobf#tbb phee#fennec shand#boba fett#asajj ventress#bossk#black krrsantan#i think fennec is literally the only one of bobas friends shorter than him lol#phee is normal about it#ventress on the other hand#she is like 6 ft tall she is using everyone as an armrest#okay but. now that boba is at actual war with the pikes#ventress is probably the best possible ally for the situation#like one. LIGHTSABERS AND THE FORCE#two. shes already on the pikes bad side; she has no rep to lose with the pikes if she does help boba#three. nobody in bobas entire retinue knows how to command anything larger than a small strike team#between boba fennec and krrsantan they're a full team of lone wolf solo hunters#they can barely coordinate a four person team let alone an army big enough to fight the pikes#in that last battle in bobf iirc boba straight up disappeared and returend with a rancor kaijuing everything with 0 warning to his friends#and they just kind of lost track of the shiny vespa gang#anything larger than krayts claw and boba just. loses everybody#he's busy fighting not looking for people!#on the other hand theres ventress who has several years of commanding literal millions of droids in massive-scale battles#boba: listen ill forget about quarzite if you help. please. i have an army and no clue what to do with it#boba: my friends dont know either i already asked#phee is their resident smuggler (very very useful when dealing with pike spice trade) and probably knows all the tattooine pike routes#boba please. you need some diversity on your team. you can't fight a war with eight solo assassins smushed together.

In your Bingqiu Baby LOTR AU, Shen Hengxia takes after SQQ in liking cool beasts and delicious food, and Bingqiu's second kid takes after LBH in that he fell in love with someone older and nearly caused a war while courting them. I'd like to hear what happened with bingqiu son and his love story :D
Bingqiu's son (Luo Yu'en) fell in love with a widowed mortal princess during a diplomatic tour in the capital. The princess (Xia Yunqi) was first married at the age of 18, widowed shortly afterwards, and then pressured to remain at her in-laws' home in spite of the fact that her father (the emperor) would have welcomed her back, as she had no children with her husband. Her in-laws wanted to maintain the advantages they received by having a di princess (born to the empress, as opposed to one of the emperor's concubines) living in their household; but since Xia Yunqi recovered from her husband's death fairly quickly, her father-in-law confined her to an isolated courtyard and only allowed her to return to the palace during festival days in case she became interested in another suitor and tried to leave.
One of these visits happened to coincide with Cang Qiong's official visit to the palace, and Luo Yu'en caught sight of Xia Yunqi during the welcome banquet and fell in love on the spot.
Two days later, he baked a batch of Shen Qingqiu's favorite pastries and brought them to Xia Yunqi. She loved them, so Luo Yu'en asked to join her household as a pastry cook; and when she told him that her in-laws only allowed her to hire female servants, Yu'en told her that he would live as a woman for as long as she wished to keep him by his side. He ran away to Xia Yunqi's married home the next day and spent the next two years disguised as a female cook in her courtyard; but they began an affair very shortly after he joined her household, and were forced to flee for Cang Qiong when Xia Yunqi's mother-in-law discovered that Yunqi was pregnant. After they ran away, the mother-in-law also discovered that the "pretty kitchen-maid" who made Xia Yunqi's favorite cherry-blossom cakes was actually the part-demon son of the cultivators who visited the capital some years earlier, which led to:
the in-laws accusing the emperor of colluding with the demon realm in order to make an illegitimate marriage alliance with Cang Qiong
the emperor severely punishing the in-laws' household, which led to both families' respective supporters nearly resorting to civil war
both families demanding answers from Cang Qiong (after the emperor and Yunqi's father-in-law calmed down)
Tianlang-jun misunderstanding that the emperor intended to go to war with Cang Qiong and reacting accordingly
the emperor believing that Cang Qiong was colluding with the demon realm in order to trap him, and (again) reacting accordingly.
Everything was resolved when Yu'en and Yunqi actually made it to Cang Qiong, but YQY and SQQ barely kept open war from breaking out while they waited for the couple to show up. Dx
#asks#svsss#may she be a light to you in dark places#luo yu'en is luo binghe in miniature except about 500x more feral#lbh: i will live in shizun's house and take care of him and anticipate his every need!#luo yu'en: i will remake myself in your image so that the world lets us be together and leave behind everything I know to serve you#i am everything your family fears and I will take every liberty I can under their very noses#also yes i know im 17 and ur 27 but you should just ignore that. trust me.#you should also ignore the fact that MY family got the equivalent of a letter saying I was selling myself to one direction#and then just heard nothing more of me. for two years.#until your dad showed up at their doorstep with a literal army#:)#what is probably the wildest thing about all this#is that yu'en is nearly identical to sqq#hengxia is the one that looks like lbh#and binghe-level romeo antics from a kid that is a carbon copy of sqq#would be enough to give cqm a collective stroke tbh

You know I was wondering if Crocodile ever did have any kind of involvement with the Revolutionary Army in secret (lest the Government finds out and revokes his Shichibukai status), what kind of involvement would that even have been
And now, with both the Vegapunk/Ohara flashback and Kuma's flashback, it's being made very clear to us that the Revolutionary Army was broke as hell 22 years ago. Like the fact that this has been brought up twice now in a relatively short span of time is interesting to me, that's usually a sign it's not an unimportant plotpoint
But you know who would have had money to help fund the Army
A funny little warlord who would eventually go and build a fucking casino to run for funsies. A warlord who had to give the Government some of his Pirating Income to keep his warlord-status
Like Crocodile hated the Government anyways so why not help fund the Revolutionary Army in secret, out of spite if for no other reason
Vaguely related, but I keep on remembering this scene (post-Enies Lobby), which at first glance just seems like a basic Lore Dump
But then there's the
"Yet..."
(Or "however", she says "no ni" in Japanese and you could translate that in many ways, I would probably have gone with "however" but that wouldn't have fit into the speechbubble)
Mind you, the conversation just kind of ends there, next we see Garp realize he probably shouldn't have mentioned Dragon infront of such a massive audience, so wherever that "yet" was going to lead to we will never find out, because Oda conveniently changed the subject before we got to it
And you know. Like yes, Robin could be just expressing her shock over finding out that the leader of the Revolutionary Army had a child with someone
But also, Robin was a part of an organization that was trying to overthrow one of the founding countries of the World Government in an explicit attempt to go against said Government (compared to like, Blackbeard, who currently wants to make Fullalead into a "pirate country" that's a part OF the World Government)
Like you don't have to be a genius to look at Crocodile's ultimate goals and compare that to what Dragon is doing and find a few similarities here and there maybe
(Also like, Crocodile's equivalent in Romancing SaGa 2 is meant to be Wagnas, the queer-coded leader of the Seven Heroes (whom the OG Shichibukai are based on) who "hoped to help the world". You know, an interesting detail and all.)
Not to mention, during the time Robin spent with Baroque Works, if Crocodile was ever in contact with the Revolutionary Army at all, considdering she has the ability to easily spy on people and that she didn't trust Crocodile one bit, it wouldn't be unsurprising if she ever spied on Crocodile and/or just overheard a phone call or knew about Crocodile having secret spending habits or something
(Mind you, I'm not saying "she knew" Crocodile was involved with the Revolutionaries, more that she might've been Suspecting Things, that "yet" being about her connecting the dots while unsure if her conclusion was right or not)
Of course Crocodile's plans can't have been Dragon Approved by any means, especially considdering the Army had been looking for Robin for over 10 years (pre-timeskip)
Four years of which were with Crocodile. Like if he was FULLY allied with the Army and KNEW they were looking for Robin, surely he would've called Dragon and been like "hey I found the kid from Ohara, wanna come hang out" or something. But no, he had bigger plans and kept Robin a secret from the Revolutionaries and the Government alike
Also like, I have seen people question why the Revolutionaries weren't involved with Alabasta's rebellion at all, and "Oda hadn't come up with the Revolutionaries yet at the time of writing" (/"OP was meant to end at Alabasta at one point so there would've been no reason to introduce the subplot at that point") aside Between Baroque Works being a secret organization working undercover (thus the Army might not have been aware of the civil war being manufactured), the framing of the King making him look bad and very much the type of monarch that deserved to be overthrown in the Army's eyes, and Crocodile maybe lying through his teeth about what was happening in the country... Yeah, the Army's lack of involvement with Alabasta suddenly makes sense
EDIT Minor addition: Just realized that because Crocodile was technically working for the Government, if the Revs ever did send forces to participate in Alabasta's civil army and taking down the throne, the Government could've easily ordered Crocodile to step in to stop the rebellion and take down the Revolutionaries, right? Because he was supposed to be on the Government's side, right? And surely the Army wouldn't have wanted to fight against Crocodile if they were secretly allied (Croc's secret betrayal aside), and if Crocodile refused to fight the Revs the Government could've seen that as a reason to revoke his Shichibukai rights (which wouldn't be great if they wanted to keep Crocodile in a position where he could fund the Army?). So it could've also been a case of it being for the best for everyone's sake to let this one play out "naturally"
But my point is
I'm just deeply intriqued by these little details and wonder if I'm Actually Masterfully Connecting The Dots Like a True Genius or just seeing a pattern where there's none. Like this is far from confirming the theory, I'm just saying, the pieces do kinda fit together do they not
#Moon posting#OP spoilers#chapter 1097#I'm just saying Crocodile being the Revolutionary Army's Secret Sugar Daddy would be hysterical#Not me having to tag this as OP spoilers because of one and a half panels from the latest chapter lmao#Also Croc and Iva knew each other etc etc everybody remembers that I don't need to point it out#((Although in Impel Down Iva-chan does actually tell Bon-chan about Crocodile being imprisoned at Level 6))#((Saying ''he's crazy too in his own way''. Which is an interesting comment. IDK what to make of it. But it's there))#((Like Level 5.5 was able to access news from outside Impel Down to the point they knew Bon-chan had worked under Crocodile))#((To the point Iva-chan was like ''weren't you and Strawhat enemies''. So like. IDK I'm just Intriqued))#You could also make an argument that this could also tie into Crocodile's good ol' trust issues#'Cause if his involvement with the Army was ever found out he'd have his Shichibukai Rights revoked etc#Also interestingly the Kuma flashback has very much skipped completely the period of time during Luffy was born#Going from the founding of the Army 22 years ago to Ginny's kidnapping 14 years ago#Crocodad Real etc (jk)#You know the derangement is bad when I look at one irrelevant line of dialogue and go like ''is this about my blorbo''#OP Meta

Hey, bud. Try not to get down on your art. It's beautiful. With "interactions", there really is no predicting it. I can spend hours on a fic and it'll get no attention at all, and then rattle off a sleepy "lol my partner is an idiot"-based post and it'll crowd my notifications. Your work is loved and appreciated by your lil community, as are you.
Jack !!! I knooooow, you're absolutely right, the internet works in mysterious ways and focusing on interactions is dumb but man is my brain struggling to understand that. The worst part is when I start doubting a piece that I love because it's not getting a lot of attention, like yikes. Brb gonna go fight my brain in an empty parking lot until it gets the message or something
But for real I truly appreciate the reassurance and how genuinely supportive everyone is in this community. Thank you bud <3
#ask#nekro yapping#you know the water spray people use on cats when they misbehave#do this to me everytime I get in my head about my art#PPSCHFTPSSCHFT#The sauna piece sting a little because I posted a WIP who got an insane amount of interactions for just a WIP#and the final piece got like a third of what the WIP got#ah yeah also I'm just a number kind of person in the first place so that doesn't help#BUT#I truly need to learn to not give a shit about it#Drawing for myself and the Nikprice army who is lovely and deserves good things and a little pat on the head#🤜🧠🤛 hydraulic press that thing#SJHNVUJHSNV Anyway I truly appreciated your little ask man <3 Thank you ;-; ♥#Manifesting many lovely comments on all of your fics brrrrr

it would be really funny in hywar for ruto and darunia to recognize the "hero of termina" but probably be confused because why is he tiny. wait there's more of them. okay i guess this isn't the guy we know (it is)
Oh yeah, I'm thinking Ruto and Darunia are 100% onto him, BUT they're the adult timeline versions, so they haven't seen the baby Hero of Time in years, so they're not 100% sure if that's actually him, or if the kid just happens to look like him. Besides, the kid says he's just the Hero of Termina, and the Hero of Time definitely didn't scowl that much when he was younger so... they're suspicious, but not confident enough to try and address it. And since all the sages except Sheik ascended into non-existence or something after sealing Ganon, Ruto and Darunia must have been pulled from somewhere in the middle of OOT, so they're used to the teenage Link, and unlike Sheik they have no reason to think he's going to return to being a kid. So as far as they know, it makes perfect sense for the Hero of Termina to just have a strong resemblance to how the Hero of Time looked when he was younger... but man are they ever identical.
Mask avoids them like the plague, because he knows they could bust him... and he also knows they're basically going to die shortly after they go home. He really doesn't have the emotional bandwidth to try and deal with that, so he just keeps his distance. But Ruto and Darunia are having many quiet debates in the background about "is that our Link or not". They are constantly pressing X to Doubt.
(Marin is also a solid member of the Press X To Doubt club, because she's like 90% certain that Ravio guy's voice is identical to her Link's, and even though she can't be sure with all the robes she thinks they might also have the same build, and the few glimpses she gets of the bottom of his face looks like Link... but also he doesn't seem to know her at all, and is just generally acting kind of off, so she's just... not sure what's going on there, but it bothers her. And she doesn't even have anyone to compare notes with.)
Also, please consider for a moment that Ganondorf knows basically nothing about the whole Majora's Mask debacle, so he only knows Mask as being the Hero of Time, and could out him literally by accident. I have this mental image of Ganon attempting to do a big dramatic showdown, only for the mood to thoroughly ruined by Mask frantically cutting him off mid-sentence, because if he gives any details right now, Mask is fucked. The exchange is something like "We meet again, it's been awhile, Hero of T-" "TERMINA, YES, that's me, how about we stop talking right now and try to kill each other instead". Ganon then delays the boss battle to try and work out what the fuck is going on, and also because Mask's obvious panic is hilarious to him.
(Meanwhile Captain Link knows that something is up, but he is literally always having a minimum of three simultaneous mental breakdowns at any given moment, so he's pretty happy just not acknowledging his suspicions that Mask's real hero title is very well known, he really doesn't need more stress in his life. He's trying so hard not to hear the extremely incriminating argument Mask and Ganon are having, and trying even harder not to connect the dots and realize what Mask's real title is. He's not succeeding. After that particular battle, he goes back to his tent and spends a solid ten minutes screaming into his pillow before he can successfully repress the knowledge that he's been fighting alongside the literal Hero of Time and affectionately referring to him as a demonic little gremlin. As long as Mask doesn't acknowledge it, he doesn't have to either, so it's fine. Everything is totally fine.)
#hyrule warriors#poor captain link is just having the worst time ever#also my take on him is he grew up rough and lied about his age to get out by joining the army#so he is ALSO hiding his real identity. except for him it's just the fact that the supposedly 20 year old hero is actually like 17#considerably less dramatic than what everyone else has going on. but he's an honorary member of the 'nobody says shit' gang#honorary bcause for the sake of his own sanity he is not acknowledging that anyone is hiding their identities in the first place#but like. he knows. and he wants the others to keep their secrets cause if they dont he's the one that has to deal with it#he's already so stressed he doesn't need more problems in his life so they can keep their fucking secrets thank you very much#this poor bastard joined the army for a steady job and somehow became Helen of Troy he's got enough on his plate already

Me, when Sebastian joins my party for the first time: Okay, this time I'm not going to forget about you, Sebastian. I'm going to make an effort to use you a lot this playthrough so I can better understand you.
Also me, immediately forgetting about Sebastian while finishing Act 2 and making it halfway through Act 3 before I finally notice his Faith quest: ......................Oh. Right. My bad.
#da2#dragon age 2#sebastian vael#listen in my defense..........i don't like bringing sebastian anywhere sksksks#okay look i seriously tried but every time i bring him somewhere i always think man i wish i had brought someone else#and also i do just forget about him! i finally added him to my party at one point and he had 24 points to spend...#that's how long i neglected him after i promised myself i was gonna use him more and then i didn't#it's not that i don't like sebastian as a character though i do tend to side eye him A LOT... it's just that i like everyone else more#even aveline like i'd take aveline over sebastian any day and that's saying something... or is it? i have a lot of feelings about aveline#whereas my feelings about sebastian could maybe fill a thimble...it doesn't help that in my canon run as a mage hawke#i romance anders and well... sebastian wants me to kill anders and my hawke is like 'do i approve of blowing up the chantry? complicated.'#'am i breaking up with anders for this? absolutely. do i still love him? mmhmmm. am i going to kill him sebby? i'd sooner set varric aflame#then sebastian threatens to bring an army to kirkwall and leaves so i can't say i have the greatest opinion on him#even the time where i did kill anders and he stayed in my party he was just... there#and then he glitched out and started t posing while asking if ed ever found out what anders wanted to do in the chantry so..... yeah#but even this playthrough where i'm playing as a lady warrior with a different personality and everything... i'd just rather use anyone els#also keep him away from bethany i do not approve sksksks she's too good for him#i want to understand and see the different angles of him like with the other companions but i've yet to convince myself to do it#also sebastian romancers out there can you like... explain? genuinely can you explain the appeal? i'm curious#because of all the love interests in da2 i look at sebastian and you'd think i'd maybe be more interested? but it's like...#i know about the chaste marriage and everything like that's fine i don't need sex to be a thing in the relationship but it feels less like#an asexual romance and more like... y'know... being with a priest and i guess that's just not one of my kinks? sksksks#i guess there's also the prince angle but i romanced alistair in dao and kept him a grey warden i don't really care about royalty power#and i don't have issues with him being a part of the chantry [well i do but yknow what i mean] since i romanced cullen in dai#and his whole deal with the chantry and magic and shit makes his romance interesting to me but sebastian is just.... a bit too much i think#i don't know i'd like to understand because i really don't but i also keep forgetting about him

#someone needs to sedate me#yk when only a few lines make you think of a character and it makes you affiliate the entire song with them#Admin's Tag#i havent listened to Penelope Scott in a while but I checked her latest stuff and this did something to my brain#it's about the vibes#it's about the implications#it's about the vulgarity v themes#it's- for the love of god im not the only one who sees the visions right?#queueing this so I forget i ever said this until Im Haunted Again#FOR THE RECORD. this is abt Yuusaku in my head. Maybe Ogata too idk#I know its so hashtag girl but are these men not hashtag girl already#as a transmasc and previous catholic school attendee the motif is sort of half of my whole brand. in terms of purity symbolism#apologies to everyone with reading comprehension. i heard the words Tight Virgin and immediately thought of him#anyway the screenshotted lyrics kind of sold it for me#what are you if not the cleanest and also bloodiest figure in your entire army if you're the ideological symbol#he's pure he's holy he's celibate he's untouched he's so so so catholic schoolgirl core#but then! he's also the bearer and conduit of a symbol of nationalistic imperial pride.#meaning the blood on his hands may be more metaphorical than others' but the stain is deep and dark and haunting.#like the impression he made on Ogatas mind as an individual!#he is guiltless and the most guilty. yk like he's just the messenger but he loves even the calligraphy of the message's death bells#DON'T LOOK AT ME!!! I LOVE THIS STUPID LITTLE MF#Spotify

MOM FUCKING MIKE IS HERE#she came up to the window and pointed at him and said I HATE YOUR FUCKING GUTS#and i climbed out the window and he was like OH MY GOD BITCH CALM DOWN and i yelled HOW DID YOU FIND MY HOUSE#and his backup (of course he had backup) was like oh dude shes pissed and misty (WHY WAS MISTY THERE??) was like PET OMG CALM DOWN#and mike said WELL I HAD TO SNEAK! YOU ALWAYS FUCKING DO THIS YOU JUST VANISH! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW WORRYING THAT IS?!#and i yelled HOW THE FUCK DID YOU FIND MY FUCKING HOUSE!!!!!!!! YOU PIGFUCKING BASTARD!!!!!!!!! ANSWER ME#and he yelled I WENT TO THE ARMY!! I DIDNT KNOW WHERE YOU WERE BUT I KNOW YOUR LAST NAAME BITCH and i bluescreened#and he went NO ONE KNEW WHERE YOU WENT!! YOU JUST WENT CRAZY AND LEFT#and i said DON'T FUCKING BLAME THIS (GESTURING BETWEEN US) ON ME YOU FUCKING DUMPED ME#and after some more argument we wound up inside. in like. a dorm common room. me & mike sitting in separate chairs not looking at each other#and he asked how have you been. and i said Fine. How's your mom. (i have known she died for years)#and he went into how she died of cancer that he should have had her check out but he didnt bc he thought it was just her being funny again#and then into how his latest best friend died of alcohol poisoning after mike started a co-binge. and i said im so fucking sorry dude#thats so awful. and he snapped at me Why the fuck are you talking about ME thats all you ever talk about!! youre obsessed!!#and i said What the fuck are you on about and his backup was like Oh please he told us how you're obsessed with him and youre still doing it#and i looked at the backup. and i looked at mike. and i stood up and said Thats all i needed to know. fuck you both. and walked off#turned to misty and said Good to see you again. if you wanna hang out sometime I'm down. WITHOUT (pointing at mike) him.#it was. ph my fucking god. aaauhhjgh FUCK. i hope shared dreams are real i hope he heard the contempt in my voice as i told him to fuck off#and also WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT

are you a fan of the henry vi plays? how do you feel about margaret?
I don’t know if I’d consider myself a fan, but I’ve seen them, yes, and have enjoyed some parts. Margaret of Anjou has done nothing wrong in her life ever, love and light.
#shes not the only one in these plays who says fuck them kids shes allowed a pass#also her leaving her failhusband and leading her own army….#you know what I said earlier about liking women who are more strategic power houses#rather than necessarily covered in blood?#yeah that take has its caveats#margaret can conquer my lands any time#ugh that was terrible.#anyways i love women who do what they need to do#the poet answers
