#can't be frenzied if you can't see shit (not true)#me vs bloodborne#I think frenzy is less 'you're going mad by seeing something incomprehensible'#And more of a psychic attack. It's something being beamed into your brain by eyes that behold *you*. Not the other way around.#which is a different kind of scary#or they're radiating psychic damage. It does seem awfully passive from the winter lanterns and the brain of mensis#amygdala on the other hand is definitely vibe-checking you#Ebrietas blood also induces it. Hm.

While I think the moment in cql where Meng Yaoâ still bleeding from a stab wound in his chest btwâ realizes Lan Xichen is in danger and decides to save the man who was so kind to him in cloud recesses is cute and all, nothing will ever beat the book for me. Little bookkeeper civilian Meng Yao, who has not had a serious chance to make his dreams of being a cultivator come true in fucking years, out of nowhere gets the fucking sect leader of Gusu Lan dropped right in his lap?
It's such a great example of Meng Yao's multilayered motivations to me. Because is civilian Meng Yao thinking of all the ways he can use this? Of the fact that having a great sect leader in his debt is the best thing that could happen to him? Duh. Obviously.
Is he very purposeful about appearing to Lan Xichen as a kind young man full of untapped potential, brave and willing to put his life on the line even though he really doesn't know so much about about cultivators, no sir, except a little he picked up here and there, because you see his fatherâ đđ Of course he is!
But the way through which he does that is... by actually saving Lan Xichen's life, at no doubt significant personal risk. The way he makes Lan Xichen believe he's kind and selfless is by... being kind and selfless. Just because he's doing it on purpose doesn't mean he's not doing it.
Is it lying if you want people to think you're nice and so you're nice to them? Isn't that just called being nice? Yes, he is very purposeful about how he appears to people, and very carefully crafts an image based on what he wants them to think of him, but most of the time he does that simply by... actually being the kind of person he wants to appear as. He still did the kind things he did, regardless of his motivations for doing them.
#mdzs#mdzs meta#meng yao#jin guangyao#lan xichen#rs: i wish it could've been you#I think for a guy like nmj the reason this 'fakeness' is scary is because it makes him unpredictable#meng yao COULD be nice to you because he wants you to think well of him and the best way to do that is simply being nice.#OR he could be planning to kill you later. you have no way of knowing which one it is.#but like... the existence of the latterâ while obviously very troubling!â doesn't really make the former manipulation in and of itself#but both people in universe and the fandom frustratingly often take it as such#'i want this person to like me so i'm gonna be nice to them' <- this is not manipulation. this is just interacting with people.#anyway this dual motivation probably also applies to show meng yao. who is scrambling to find something else now that he's been banished.#but the reason the novel grips me so much is little civilian a-yao doesn't even *know* lan xichen yet.#it's the journey of this at first being very inpersonal- both as an opportunity and as a heroic act#(the impression he's giving being that he saved a stranger because he's just that kind of person đ)#and over the course of their time spent hiding together becomes... very very personal.#meng yao coming in with a very general plan that he could charm any kind of person with and slowly adjusting it to fit lxc#but how is that so different from just... getting to know a person and realizing what kind of relationship you want to have with them?#I also just think it's cute to have a-yao get bonked over the head with the realization that this guy is so fucking NICE what the FUCK?#no way he's this lucky. good shit doesn't *happen* to him where's the catch with this guy??? hello???#lucky of course both on a personal level and for his practical goals. i loveeee both sides of a-yao's brain screaming in tandem

Little things about Marcille make me so so so sick. Reading a book with the first character that's anything like you at all in even a somewhat respectable way and falling in love. She doesn't know anything about the food her mother grew up eating. She is subtly different from her peers and has never been sure where she fits in. AND despite those experiences she still falls victim to prejudiced thinking. She and Kabru should be besties who verbally fight like rabid dogs.
#dungeon meshi#dungeon meshi spoilers#*smiles so sweetly* I am mixed.#Marcille and Falin are so important to me but you have to admit! Marcille kind of looks down on her (not intentionally) as someone who is#in need of Guidance and Being Protected in a way that is sort of... infantilizing and overbearing.#And Falin is sort of bad at asserting what she wants and saying no to things.#WHICH THEY CAN/WILL/HAVE STARTED TO OVERCOME.#Anyway I think Marcille and Kabru could be BFFs who just as quickly click as they shatter each other's souls with their teeth.#People have said much more comprehensive things about both characters but as like#My relationship to my identity is WEIRD. My gender is SCARY. Not only that... I am also autistic.#Kabru when he isn't seen as an adult. Marcillie when she isn't seen as whole.#WHEN YOU RUN AT A DIFFERENT PACE TO EVERYONE ELSE.#funny talking tag#Also I am glad that Marcille isn't the only half-elf even if Fionil(?) is only a minor character

i need to go about my digital detox in a slightly different way. i feel like i'm only ever capable of being fully off my phone when i am so distracted that i cannot be on it (reading a book, on a run, w friends, doing a task etc etc). but i just want to be okay w the silence. i want to sit at a rooftop bar and look at the night sky and not feel compelled to check my phone or supplement the silence w something else. i want to be sitting on my bedroom floor doing nothing and still feel okay that i'm not on my phone. being off your phone can get intense bc after a certain point it actually feels like withdrawals (you get anxiety, fomo, antsiness) but i just want to feel those things and let them come as they may. it's not that i want to be off my phone completely so much as i want balance, but this interim of just letting go has been so tricky and kind of hard to beat. i seriously just need to be okay w the silence
#i'm also the kind of person who LOVES being busy (w schoolwork or anything really)#which attests to how addicted to distraction i am. i get so antsy when my hands are empty. it's bad#i have inherited my mom's workaholism in many different forms#i love my comforting little tumblr corner but i still need to teach myself that silence is not scary and digital fomo is a LIE#so i can finally strike that happy balance where i get to enjoy both without compromising anything#p

yeah ok i get it you donât think transandrophobia exists but you do realize that itâs still bad to be shitty to transmascs right? you get that right?
#like you donât get to be transphobic just bc you say âwell theyâre men so men canât be oppressedâ#as if if there is never any intersection of identities that includes being a man#like first think of gay/bi men they experience a different kind of oppression than queer women do and it would be idiotic to argue that#them being men has NOTHING to do with the oppression they face#and then thereâs black and brown men who are constantly painted as scary and violent in news and media and are disproportionately killed#by police officers#and youâre telling me that has NOTHING to do with how their identities intersect between being a POC and a man. ok#it makes no sense to me because look#obviously we live under the patriarchy which systematically oppressed women as well as anyone who deviates from#the cisheteronormative white masculine ideals and iâm by no means trying to say that âmen have it harderâ#it just seems a bit ingenuine to argue that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN A MAN FACE OPPRESSION DUE TO THE INTERSECTION OF ANOTHER#MARGINALIZED IDENTITY#transandrophobia#transgender#transmasc#trans masc#trans man#transphobia

@steddie-week day 1: Hunger |Â 1.1k words cw: light angst in that Steve is a little sad/dealing with some mental stuff but like hurt/comfort (not EDs which mental stuff combined with the prompt word might make it seem like, hunger is used as a metaphor)
Sometimes Steve doesnât talk to anyone for days. He just shuts himself in his room and hides, barely leaves his bed. Pretends he doesnât exist, or that time has stopped and heâs the only thing that exists.
Sometimes, heâll go back too soon, feel bad for the ignored calls and drag himself out of bed to see the people who matter most to him. But it wonât feel warm and soft those times. Heâll be too raw and Itâll feel like theyâre grabbing his insides and eating them. Pulling his heart and brain out of his body and devouring them without letting him eat theirs in return.Â
Usually, heâs okay with that. He knows his place, he knows thatâs what heâs for. For other people to get fed. And heâs happy to feed, to do that for them.Â
He loves them, of course heâs gonna give himself over. Itâs just that sometimes they take too much. They donât know they do he thinks, they donât know theyâre eating him alive. That heâs presenting himself on a silver platter and letting them take take take, and that sometimes they take too much.
Thatâs why he disappears, so he can grow back. So he can give more. Because if he stops giving he's afraid theyâll get tired. He wonât be useful, he canât give when heâs like that. He starts craving, he starts wanting. He feels starved and wants to take and feed too, and thatâs not part of the deal. Heâs not supposed to eat, heâs supposed to be eaten. So when he turns hungry and ravenous he hides, he isolates.Â
Robin is the only one who truly gets this about him, who doesnât take and demand. She gently accepts the things he gives and never without giving too, forcing him to stay whole. Itâs overwhelming and sometimes he has to hide from that too, he doesnât know how to deal with the force of it. Heâs so used to the constant hunger itâs a shock when itâs gone but heâs gotten better. And anyway, he and Robin are part of one whole so whatever is given or taken between them is never really gone. It stays with both of them.
Robin is the only one, or she was the only one he should say. Because now thereâs Eddie. Eddie who gives and gives and gives, almost as much as he does. But who doesnât seem to dwindle and dim like Steve does. Who doesnât seem to starve or hunger. Eddie who notices when Steve does, when he stumbles and gets greedy. Who holds him up and makes him whole with a look, a touch, a word.Â
Eddie who breaks in through his window when he shuts himself in his big empty house and lays with him in his bed, softly telling Steve stories and running his fingers through his hair.Â
Itâs wonderful.
It's the worst.Â
âIâm afraid youâre gonna end up as empty as me,â Steve tells him, whispers it into the dark. âThat youâre here now and youâre giving and Iâm taking and youâre gonna be the one left with nothing.âÂ
Eddie doesnât respond immediately but hums in acknowledgment, lets him know he heard and is thinking.Â
âThis is good for me too,â he says eventually, âbeing with you and resting. Getting to be here for you when you never used to let anyone but Robin be. Itâs good for me too.âÂ
âIt can be good and still drain you.â Says Steve, knows it to be true. He doesnât resent giving the way he does, he loves it, itâs good. It drains him.Â
âYeah,â Eddie agrees, âthis doesnât drain me, youâre comforting me too. Itâs balanced.âÂ
Balanced. Thatâs what Robin tells him too. Thatâs what Nancy sometimes asked him for when they dated and he couldnât let her see the cracks. Thatâs what he wonders about with his other friends.Â
He doesnât usually know how to do that. He doesnât know where the lines are. He doesnât understand how Eddie knows.Â
âYou let me give, and I let you give, so itâs balanced. We donât take from each other, we gift and we receive. Itâs balanced. You have to let other people give sometimes too, Steve.âÂ
It hits something deep in him, the last words. He knows this, he doesnât want to know it.Â
âIâm afraid they wonât. if I open myself up to it. If I ask, Iâm afraid they wonât.â He says it so quietly itâs almost inaudible but Eddie hears.Â
His hands still in Steveâs hair for a moment before moving again, gently scratching his scalp.Â
âI know baby. But thatâs not fair, they want to give too. If they knew how much they took without giving back theyâd be heartbroken. Itâs not fair to you or them.âÂ
Steve lets Eddies words wash over him, he knows heâs right. Theyâd be nauseous with it. His sweet wonderful friends and family would be crushed.
âSometimes it will happen, maybe,â Eddie continues when Steve doesnât respond beyond a sharp breath in. âSometimes people wonât know how to give after only getting but you gotta let them try. Sometimes theyâll learn and adjust, sometimes they wonât and youâll have to deal with that. But you canât starve yourself like this because you wonât let them try.âÂ
"What if I take too much?"
"Then they talk to you, like you should talk to them."
âWhen did you get so wise,â Steve snorts, his voice is tight but he makes the effort, tries to lighten the mood. Deflects, like he always does.Â
Eddie lets him, a little, knows Steve has to. But heâs still serious when he answers.
âWayne is like a never-ending well of insight and digging around in everything, never lets me get away with shit.âÂ
The opposite of Steveâs parents who were the first to take from him and never give, never look into his eyes and tell him to eat.Â
âHeâs a good guy,â Steve tells Eddie instead of weighing him down more than he already has. Instead of acknowledging and relieving the hunger pang that strikes him at the thought. Even now, here, he doesnât know how.Â
âYeah,â Eddie agrees. âIâm here to relay his wisdom, like playing telephone with whatever stuff he teaches me. The things your parents took away from you.â
Eddie still knows, of course, he does. He always knows.
âAnd what do you get?â Steve has to ask.
âI get you. I get everything.â
Steve smiles, turns around to kiss Eddie. He doesnât feel empty when Eddie kisses him back, hungry. When he takes and devours.Â
#i didn't think i was gonna be able to do steddie week becuase it crept up on me and i haven't kept up#and i wasn't gonna post this but like i wrote this in like 40 minutes in a haze and then went on tumblr and saw one of the#prompts for day 1 was hunger and i had literally just written this thing where i used hunger as a metaphor so i went back and reread it#and did some edits and now im posting it#which well i usually stick to humor in my writing so this is always scary but here we are#this is so different from what i usually post but this is also representative of like 70% of my notes app i just dont share#this kind of writing but fuck it i guess#my writing#dels steddie thoughts#steddieweek2023#steve harrington#eddie munson#steddie#stranger things#steddie fic#steddie week

kinda wild to me that one of the most compelling aspects of both Chuuya and Kunikida's characters to me, that I never really see talked about, is how they're heavily set on a doomed crash course towards complete and utter destruction, and how I am so, so worried for them both.....
#bungou stray dogs#been thinking a lot about chuuya lately (shocking for me i know (said with no sarcasm truly lmao it is rare for me))#cause of the 15 manga and also playing the fucking jeht quest in genshin impact ugh (where's the one dual genshin bsd fan who Understands)#but like this pressure has been building up for chuuya for so long due to being used and manipulated by all these people#first the sheep then mori then verlaine then still mori now#he was groomed since childhood just like dazai#but unlike dazai he didn't have an oda to help him get out of the mafia........ he's still stuck there#and his personality is different from dazai's. dazai was more self-aware imo (but still a groomed emotionally abused kid don't get me wrong#but chuuya's whole thing is needing to belong and wanting a leader to be loyal to but ending up in positions of leadership himself#which makes him feel pressured but he accepts and stifles any negative feelings just because he wants to belong#and all this crushed him with the events in the light novels and yeah he went through character growth but he's...... Still In The Mafia...#and that fucking scene asagiri added to the cannibalism stage play i don't think hardly anyone even knows about bc IT'S NOT DISCUSSED ANYMO#where mori emotionally manipulates him with the flags!!! and it deeply hurts him!!! and he presumably deals with that shit all the time!!!#it is WORRISOME. it WORRIES ME okay.#chuuya doesn't have anyone who can save him from the mafia (dazai is in no position to okay; it's all he can do just to try to save himself#and it's so so scary. it spells awful things for him.#didn't asagiri say he'd have a rough path or something??? and he added that fucking scene in the play!!! it haunts me!!#i fully expected this shit to hit a turning point in the meursault arc but we can't have nice things i guess#and as for kunikida a;lskdfl (took me this long to get to him oop) literally the ending of Entrance Exam (the novel) is just#One Big Foreshadowing for Kunikida's downfall#he's compared to the azure king for a reason. Sasaki saw the azure king in him for a reason. it's fucking worrying!!!!!#there hasn't really been anything like that since in the manga (just like for chuuya lol ugh) but he's TERRIBLE at coping with his trauma#and it only gets more apparent once shit hit the fan in the doa/hunting dogs/meursault arc#it's not good!!! i'm worried for kunikida too!!!!#even if the manga isn't focusing on this these worries are always in the back of my mind man#both kunikida and chuuya are doomed to hit some kind of breaking point eventually and i await those moments with dread yet anticipation#i want dazai to be able to save kunikida from the despair being too good a person brings the way he couldn't save oda#and chuuya.... if we get a scene with him & mori mirroring the one in dark era where dazai finds out that mori orchestrated the kids' death#oh man i think i'll fucking die (give it to me i need to cry)

Everyone posts about how Stardew Valley is a cozy LGBT+ inclusive game but NO ONE mentions the lack of a platonic option for the bachelors/bachelorettes. Which would be good for aspec people and also just more pleasant for many casual players I believe but that's not even the point. I just want to become best friends with everyone and not only does that require me dating everyone at once and feeling like a sleazebag because of it (ik the bad cutscene can be avoided but I know in my heart they'd be hurt if they knew) BUT it also means the women flirt with me!!!!! Constantly!!!!!!! It makes me sick to my stomach. Truly ruining the characters I liked
#this post is not that serious or meant to be an Analysis or a Discourse Post or a Hot Take or whatever#i just think the dating thing needs to be handled differently#i should be able to Not Date characters and still get 10 hearts with them#also ive never made it far enough in stardew valley to marry someone and this is the first time i could even date someone#and ive heard that the flirtatious comments dont stop once you're married which is. really awkward for me#i mean i could probably handle the guys flirting with me while im married but id hope being married would be an off switch for it#its just awkward to have ppl im not actually dating and only gave a bouquet to so i can be their friend be called my bf/gf when. they're Not#i seriously need to find some kind of mod to fix this once i finish getting all the girls up to ten hearts#i will deal with the stomach churning grossness of the flirting for a while so i can see everything#but then I'm DONE!!! I'm DONE!!!! I just want my friends back!!!!#maru and abigail and haley !!! my buds!!!#NOT emily shes scary and NOT leah because we just didn't click and DEFINITELY not penny because i fucking hate her#penny sucks. penny dni#but yeah the flirting feels gross because im gay and repulsed by women romantically/sexually#and even though i did open myself up to this by playing the game. because i dont want it it feels like its being forced on me#which makes it feel even WORSE than normal#and its like. not only do i feel like I'm stringing along these characters#but i feel like my friendship with my favourites is ruined :(

why is everyone pretending like cyberpunk edgerunners is good. the writing is so bad i hate it
#i'm rewatching it for the third time đ#i remember seeing a post i think from demilypyro abt how 2077 was a shitty game that everyone forgot how bad it was because of the anime#and the anime is terrible#all of the reviews online call the ending sad but it's literally just đ§ââď¸ okay so. big whoop.#which would've been great for like to explore the futility of doing jack shit in this world bc it can be taken from you like that#they did a good job of this in the first 6 episodes before the timeskip#but the timeskip ruins everything#and u have to balance how unsatisfying that kind of thing is w the reality of that's just how it is#but NO#it's SAD because EVERYONE DIED#we didn't get a chance to slow down with the characters and get an update post timeskip#and the timeskip negates everything interesting about lucy (my fave 4evr)#and it changes her from a strong independent character that's scary good at her job because she was a lab baby and trained since birth and#an archetype of character i like in cyberpunk (a character that looks sexy without sexualising themself or getting sexualized by others)#(and in context most people wear something similarly revealing regardless of gender or presentation and modesty is the outlier)#wait i take that back she does flirt with david in her introduction scene. but i think it was done tastefully to show that she's confident#in herself and her abilities. and not in like an i'm hot do what i want way. we see her in the same episode being genuine and vulnerable#on multiple occasions. and then it reveals she was just buying time for her group to ambush him#she's a really interesting and cool character guys i swear#but the timeskip takes that and turns her into a stay at home expecting mother damsel in distress wanting to settle down and start a family#and the domesticity is so disturbing bc its like. i guess she wants to leave the edgerunner life behind to live on the moon.#BUT THAT'S SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THEY DID HERE#she doesn't pass the bechdel test anymore suddenly. who is she#they mischaracterised my blorbo so bad#it's like their writing budget got slashed mid show.

me, stupidly and weirdly resistant to listening to audio books vs reading a physical book for no real reason: man i wish there was a way to like, read a book while i crochet like i do with tv shows and movies and podcasts
#toy txt post#my reasons are irrational you dont need to try to talk me into it. i KNOW#its very silly of me#imagine how much reading i could get done. but alas. Feels Bad#even listening to a more. uh. Story type podcast or fiction like nightvale was a bit difficult to start for me. i like nightvale now i#listened. but i worry that is clocking in my brain as an Exception đ maybe it would be easier if i tried some nonfiction books? scary#i also struggle with single host podcasts apparently even tho im also ehhhh on the kind where the structure is the host Interviewing a#different person everytime? maybe it would be okay with a nonfiction audiobook tho cos it would be getting read by a narrator and not sound#so much like a guy ranting into a mic which makes me feel a little insane. altho propaganda doesnt necessarily always sound like a guy#ranting into a mic so idk. i could probably make it through if i can find a nice book about like. parasitic worms. i could tolerate#feeling like im falling into sigma male affirmations videos for worms i think. wormffirmations are allowed#*to clarify i dont listen to those but listening to better offline makes me feel like im morphing into the kinda guy who does and i hate it#which feels unfair cos he is RIGHT and the podcast is good but i need there to be like a cohost there to break the tension of the Ranting#sometimes he has guests on? but its not quite the same#i think the format i like best is either like 2 or 3 regular cohosts discussing things within a specific topic#OR. 1 host whos like infodumping to the other host who knows nothing about the subject. OR. 2 hosts info dumping to each other about#different aspects of the subject. OR. 1 host who brings on fun guests to infodump to them about a subject. and then obviously the subject#needs to intrigue me. ex. sawbones well theres your problem (I HATE THAT THIS ONE IS BEST EXPERIENCED ON YOUTUBEđ I WANT THEM TO JUST DUMP#ALL THE SLIDES INTO A BIG BLOG POST SOMEWHERE AND I CAN CHECK IN AND FOLLOW ALONG THAT WAY WITHOUT HAVING TO HAVE MY PHONE SCREEN ON THE#WHOLE TIME!!!!!!!!! but. im listening for free so its unreasonable to demand more of them BUT ALSO I FEEL LIKE JUST COPYPASTING ALL OF THE#SLIDES INTO A BIG BLOG POST ISNT THAT MUCH MORE EFFORT THAN EDITING A WHOLE YOUTUBE VIDEO? WAAAAAH. THEY DONT NEED TO BE TIMESTAMPED OR#ANYTHING JUST THROW EM IN ILL FIGURE IT OUTTTTTT#anyway. also more than 3 hosts is really pushing my ability to keep track of voices.#anyway: sawbones wtyp tpwky behind the bastards scam goddess#(which is true crime adjacent but focuses mainly on scams and isnt copaganda and laci is funny and cool)#common descent pod completely arbortrary maintenance phase if books could kill#deep sea podcast has more bringing ppl in to interview them about shit than i personally enjoy but i put up with it cos i do like the hosts#and the subject

literally what a day i am still shaking
#i didnât realize how scary it would be to teach for the first timeđ#like i feel like my social anxiety has gotten so much better over the last few years but this was like.#social anxiety on Crack#i did do really well like i think youâd barely even be able to tell i was nervous#just bc when iâm scared i kind of disassociate and go on auto-pilot so i usually seem fine#but like. i have been replaying every second of it in my brain all day nitpicking for places i messed up#and this one guy made a Comment when i walked in which did not help#genuinely overall it went so well and everyone was so nice#but still. SCARYđ#luckily (?) i will be teaching 4 days a week for the next 2 years.#so i will have plenty of time to get used to it lmao#itâs weird bc i tutor so often but turns out small groups of Children online#is very different than a full class of 18-19 year oldsđ#anyway. hopefully i will get Less nervous bc i would hate to feel like this every day

no warnings | gn reader | fluff | uh...not proofread __Ď(ăă)
Shu Itsuki has a few bad habits, including the fact that he doesnât realize how heart fluttering they can be
â Shu hasnât quite realized it but heâs become attached to you in a strange way. Inadvertently, heâs made you a part of his daily routine, his dreams and ambitionsâŚâ
âŚand his afternoon cafe runs.
ŕ° Though his concentrated face while mulling over his stage designs are heart fluttering, the issue lies (as he would say) with y o u. âAh, is there a hole in your chin? How did you get icing there? Youâre this old already how havenât you learned how to eat properly yet?â Shu always presses your cheeks between his elegant fingers, takes his napkin, and wipes off the remains of your cinnamon bun while scolding you. His hands feel a little cold but soft and after knowing him for so long you can only hear the warmth in his voice. You canât help but think itâs a little unfairâheâs already talking to you about something different while your heart is still pounding in your chest.
ŕ° His bad habits also follow the both of you out in public. It looks like thereâs a brand new craft store across the street from the cafe, though itâs wares look a little cheap itâs still worth a trip inside! You always have to walk a little faster to keep pace with Shu when he spots something interesting, smiling slightly while listening to him talk about how long lasting cashmere can be if you treat your clothing with care. When you canât fast enough Shu finds himself sighing and grabbing your wrist to make sure you donât fall behind. âItâs important for you to know these things! And youâre walking to slowly! How can you do your job properly if you canât manage to make it from one end to the other without assistance?â Because heâs still walking ahead of you, you can safely give him a lovelorn look, why does he hold your wrist but not your hand?
ŕ° Possibly his worst habit rears itâs head in the small craft store aislesâŚâŚbesides openly criticizing the fabric and jewelry making supplies for being stiff and unmanageable. Thereâs many other customers looking for ways to begin their seamster journeys. Too many. Whether Shu is a repellent or you are a magnetâpeople just wonât stop bumping into you. The thread aisle, the button aisle, the velcro aisleâŚShu begins to huff like it was your fault. Placing an arm around your side he pulls you out of the way of another shopper, bumping your shoulders together. âWonât you pay a little more attention?â As if you could in a situation like this. His soap has just the faintest scent of linen & peonies, even though he smells like laundry in an open field something about it reminds you of star gazing. The only thing keeping you grounded is the feeling of his hand around your upper arm keeping you out of âharms wayâ. It might be a blessing that he has a bad habit of not noticing when he manages to make you feel so flustered. âStand right next to me. Ah, I canât take you anywhere.â âŚ..He really has a bad habit of saying that, too.
#not it being 3am TT_TT helloă#sorry i didnât realize ppl were following this blogâŚ#but i got struck by lighting#no w inspo struck w inspo#aha#but ig i got over my weirdness abt writing abt itsuki but thereâs just a specific kind of relationship u can have a him#bc heâs soâŚâŚLike That hahaha or what i mean is#his casual intimacy is always in a corrective way but never in an affectionate way because he has a hard time with affection#which may b confusing but praise & affection are separate things so he may like it when ppl talk abt how intelligent and creative he is but#admiring someone looking up to someone is much much different than liking and loving those are scary concepts#so it takes a lot of years of this sort of âim dating him & he doesnât knowâ until he could even entertain the idea of liking u TT_TT like#maybe if u had been born a porcelain doll things could be different hahahah im kidding! itâs been so long now that he calls u and tells u#his unfinished works and thatâs a big deal you know#uhâŚwait how do i tag again?#things written#ensemble stars#enstars fanfic#enstars fluff#valkyrie enstars#shu itsuki x reader#shu x reader#shu itsuki#enstars x reader#valkyrie ensemble stars#enstars headcanons

(sighing dreamily) chiaki in an awakened state is Fucking Terrifying.
#ooc.#chiaki meta.#{ normally her power is being able to see and manipulate the weave of cursed energy within a range }#{ and by 'cursed energy' mostly that means its raw state (the use of techniques / ambient CE / the CE that radiates from people/residuals }#{ but when awakened that awareness sharpens to a molecular level â she can see and understand the building blocks of the building blocks of#what makes a technique work; how it manifests; the soul controlling it }#{ and the range expands to essentially The Universe which is EXTREMELY overwhelming at first â esp bc she can see it thru closed eyes!! }#{ but once her brain learns to manage it...... her control over the world around her heightens to a scary level. puppeteering sorcs/curses#becomes Easy. she can disrupt/change/enhance techniques by messing w/ their weave bc she can SEE their weave now#maybe even partially mimic them?? not the way yuta does but something of a different flavor..... maybe uses aspects of them by manipulating#her own threads to match the way those techniques manifest ... not to mention RCT. omfg. smth smth stitching metaphor. }#{ IDK. IM THINKING THOUGHTS SHE BECOMES RIDICULOUSLY SCAWY#DOESNT HELP THAT SHE'S KIND OF UNHINGED TOOâ }#{ so just. yk . dont almost-kill her }#{ yes i love OP women. dont @ me }

for those especially up on their theo lore. this kid reminds me of quin if their mental illness was under control
#have been thinking about this a lot the past week#quinâs the only other person iâve met who has this specific kind of charisma#pissed off at them and would still do anything they asked. etc#except his is like. under control. bc heâs in control of himself. which is equally scary just in a different way#and for quin. i was the obsession. fuck thatâs a realization man.#and i was also subsequently dropped. another pattern! awesome.#ted talks#đď¸

seeing ppl say that theyre going to kiss and hug all his trauma away makes me insane bc thats so not how it works đđđ not to be "u don't understand him like i do" but CMON... that sort of trauma doesnt work like that.... its not a "romance fixes everything" situation.... and i know half the time ppl are just being somewhat silly and not actually serious but i just get so irritated w the trope of "just get into a relationship and it'll fix all ur trauma :]" bc its EVERYWHEREEE
#im not jealous even im just annoyed bc thats not gonna do jackshit for the guy đ even the canon version#actually ESPECIALLY the canon version of him fjkdl that guy needs stability and to learn about emotional regulation#i think romance would actually be . really bad for the canon version of Guz fhfkdl i think it'd make his issues a lot worse#and not in a fun way#he's gotta work on stuff a bit first and then maybe he'd be okay to get into a relationship of some kind#my version of the guy I've expanded on and fleshed out things so that theres more to work with fjdkdl#the canon version is very flat and would be rly difficult to work with bc he's so flat in terms of character depth#but my version... he's got a few different directions he can go in and theres more than one road to recovery he can take#idk if recovery is even the right word bc irt trauma like that... there is no Before! theres nothing to go back to#u just have to move forward towards something brand new and unknown. which is scary. but um. I'm getting sidetracked fhdkdl#i do want to hug and kiss him yes but it won't make him better. at least not for a long long while.#theres a lot of work to be done before a kiss would come even close to ever fixing anything djdksl#dandy.cmd#đso good at being in trouble
