Eddie diaz dealing with his mommy issues arc in season 8 is feeling realer to me than ever right now
#Helena diaz is responsible for so much of Eddie’s issues#she is a massive part of the reason Shannon left the first time#the way she spoke at ramons retirement party just reenforced things#she is the matriarch and rules with an iron will#it is ultimately down fo her that Eddie was forced to grow up too fast - was forced into a heteronormative behaviour pattern#she is the reason he didn’t get to figure out who he really is and that’s what he’s paying for now#Ramon just went along with her - that has been shown on multiple occasions - he is like Phillip buckley - a weak man who goes along with his#wife for a quiet life#so yeah - Helena (and Ramon) showing up in 7x10 - perhaps to take Chris back to Texas for the summer#feels very intentional to me - Eddie dealt with his issues around one parent - now in order to let go of Shannon and move forward he needs#to deal with the other#gonna be so good#it’s also worth pointing out that we see a far more soft and vulnerable Eddie with abuela and Pepa than with Helena - perhaps the contrast#will be explored - Helena not liking abuela or Pepa that much because she thinks they make him soft etc - would be juicy too#(can you tell I’m not a Helena diaz fan!!)#911 spoilers#eddie diaz#911 speculation#911 abc

Snowy day at our little house. I’m clearing off the cars and shoveling snow to clear our walkway. The Hot Wife is cleaning the house. I’m gonna go for a hike through the woods later this afternoon.
A damn fine day!

#mortal kombat#mortal kombat mythologies#sub zero#bi han#scorpion#hanzo hasashi#you don't have an idea how much i think about sub zero and scorpion backstories#how similar yet different those are#bi han who never had a choice as he was chosen by lin kuei when he was a kid and his own father forced him into assassin life#most likely killing bi han's mother and the youngest sister to ensure lin kuei clan will get what it wanted#and hanzo who was told by his father to not joining the assassin clan and have a normal (safe) life#but he did so for the quick money (the desire to afford his wife and son the finest in life)#even though we don't know if it was even anything “harumi” wanted in the first place and not just a honest quiet life with beloved husband#free from having a blood on his hands and death around#it is the no choice vs choice dichtomy those two had i miss the most#but also god damn at the twist in perception of sub zero and scorpion that changed drastically#especially now with mk1 kicking out both of those in favor of kuai liang being the “better” scorpion AND better son/brother at the same tim#i miss you my original tragedy (bi han) and walking disaster (hanzo)

i think it fucks immensely that bk moon went out of his way to 1) establish rakiel wished to live a long life and eventually pass away of old age, 2) have him very briefly envy an immortal being only to be told very clearly to be careful what he wishes for by that very same person because living forever isn't all it's cracked up to be, 3) make the main antagonist be another immortal being who is so desperate to die he's willing to destroy the universe just to finally rest and 4) have said antagonist psychologically torture rakiel with the threat of making him live for a thousand years as everyone he loves and knows eventually grows old and dies and becomes nothing but forgotten memories.
only to then end the novel by making rakiel also immortal
like. god. it's so fucking good i love it. i'm not being sarcastic i genuinely think it fucks and it's one of the best ways bk moon could've wrapped up the plot.
it's a happy ending by all means but it has consequences and through the entire novel we've been shown and told over and over again just how heavy the consequences are and/or will be on rakiel.
he got his happy ending but it was at a price and by the last time we see him he's only just starting to pay for it.
it's great i love it
#i talk a lot <3#cpsm#cpsm spoilers#rakiel magentano#i also think it's funny that this puts bk moon in the very awkward position when it comes to his 'romance' with adeline#because either rakiel allows her to remain human and sees her grow old and eventually die just like acheros threatened him with#(and like he will do with absolutely everyone he loves anyway <3)#or he keeps her alive and frozen in time just like acheros wanted to do with him forcing her to be cut off from the world#in most ways that matter and see the people she loves grow old and die. again. just like acheros threatened to do with him :)#like. either way. the situations sucks for them <33#i do think it's cheap if he can make her immortal without it being a big deal. because. why wouldn't it be.#it would be absolutely broken if absolutes can just. make people immortal for funsies whenever they want. that would be bad writing.#but again i also think it's cheap that he made alicia an angel for no other reason than bc someone needed to remind us lloyd is married#to a woman actually. like. she doesn't even do anything why did you ruin the absolute tragedy that is being an immortal being surrounded#by very mortal humans just to make awful 'my wife is annoying' jokes. i hate you.#sigh. it's lose/lose when it comes to women with this man and his choices.#either they're fridged to make his male characters sad or they become the butt of misogynistic jokes. i cannot fucking win.#ANYWAY. do i think any of this was on purpose? maybe idk i certainly hope so and want to believe it is because otherwise it would be#too much of a coincidence but like. this is also the man who wrote a character very explicitly and clearly wishing to live a quiet life#with his family in his middle-of-nowhere estate where nothing ever happens with no contact at all with royalty and court#so he can laze about and do absolutely nothing. and then married him to a queen who cannot stand lazy people and squeezes the last bit#of talent of everyone around her. and he saw nothing wrong with this. so like. i genuinely cannot tell with this man sometimes 🙃🙃

love the idea of transhet laios
#random thoughts#dungeon meshi#chilchuck watches in horror as laios slowly animorphs into his second wife#'he didn't have a second wife?' not yet babeyyy#i am neutral verging on negative on trans chilchuck (negative being mainly because i see it everywhere)#i don't like it when people take the male character who looks the youngest and make him trans like 'well duh'#so he's cis to meee. and bisexual but quiet about it in the same way he's quiet about literally everything else about him#he knows what being trans is because one of his daughters is trans :] flertom#the way she treated her transition was throwing herself headfirst into gender roles like wanting to get married and worrying about her look#which laios definitely won't do (she was horrified when she saw how she would have stayed in the village and had a family in the au viewer)#but it'd be interesting to see chilchuck try to be supportive by encouraging her to try traditionally feminine things#which laios wouldn't be very interested in and probably wouldn't be able to connect the dots on her own that he's trying to be supportive#so she'd just be like. questioning why chilchuck keeps getting her weird gifts#pink and frilly and aaaaaaa#probably use some of the gifts for weird things. uses a sewing kit for taxidermy.#appreciates the new baking supplies probably#he gets her a journal which she genuinely uses#chilchuck seeing how she reacts to his gifts and knowing she doesn't get what he's doing but he's not gonna open up about it#so here have some more stuff until you get the point#btw this is unrelated but does anyone else think it's weird it's marcille who was able to put herself into the shoes of chilchuck's wife?#like she literally viewed him as a child for the longest time but now she's miss empathy???#honestly i think it'd've made more sense if laios did it? like how he put together the cannibalism thing#like i know he's not good with social cues but it could have been a chance to demonstrate how well he knows chilchuck#laios in another life would be the world's greatest detective

Farm Lexa has this hand bound book she made back when she was around sixteen. She made it to keep her pressed flowers. The very first page has pressed daisies and a date below them followed by a happy scribble, "Clarke asked me on a date."
The dandelion Clarke put in her hair after their first kiss. A black eyed susan they picked after their first time as they walked around the run down farm.
The petals of the deep red roses Clarke gifted Lexa the day they decided to get engaged.
One of each of the flowers Lexa walked down the aisle with. One of each of the flowers from Clarke's bouquet.
The english primrose that popped up in Lexa's garden not long after little Madi laughed for the first time.
The Lilly of the Valley a baby Saige found fascinating because fairies lived in them.
The poppies the twins ended up ripping from her garden because it matched their hair.
The small piece of baby's breath that showed up around the tree where they buried their baby soon after Lexa stepped out of her grief.
The sunflower petals that remind her of Clarke and their little sunshine boy Aden.
Every wild flower the kids offered her. At least one petal from the bouquets Clarke got her. Her favorite flowers from her garden. The ones she found on walks. All dated, all with a note on why they made her smile.
#ignoreme.jpg#farm clexa#it is 5 am i have not slept and i am thinking of Lexa in her greenhouse#its such a small thing in the middle of the farm#barely big enough for more than one person to be inside#but it has a table for Lexa to make bouquets to sell#and a little table where she dries and presses her flowers#its a quiet place in a house so full of babies#and yet it is all windows and she can always see what is happening#they find her little notebook when she passes#sitting in the cramp living room her children and her grandchildren and maybe even her great grandchildren#she is gone but lived a good life#and now here are all the people she loved looking at the little keepsakes she kept of their love for her#Clarke's wrinkling hand shaking with age and the pain of losing her wife touching the daisy#shed been so nervous holding the flowers in her hand after buying them at the market to go and ask lexa out#so excited to go on a date with her#it was a lifetime ago#they dated they married they had chilsren they built a life#oh and what a life#:') bye

Betty (1992)
"You know, I wanted to ask Thérèse when I saw her in the cellar. I wanted to say: 'Show me your wound.' I wanted to have a wound, too. I've always been chasing that wound. I must be looking for pity. I'm not a victim. I'm not to be pitied. No one ever hurt me. I'm the one who did the hurting. I'm a fool. Say it! I blew it all. I've soiled everything, myself included."
#betty#1992#french cinema#claude chabrol#georges simenon#marie trintignant#stéphane audran#jean françois garreaud#yves lambrecht#christiane minazzoli#pierre vernier#nathalie kousnetzoff#pierre martot#thomas chabrol#yves verhoeven#henri attal#coco bakonyi#emmanuelle bataille#mélanie blatt#powerful and devastating in equal measures. a tightly focused study of one vulnerable soul in freefall. as the titular Betty#Trintignant gives a truly phenomenal performance; her character is a self destructive alcoholic who has just broken up her marriage to the#high society son of a general and signed a document promising not to contact their young children. in a drunken reverie she stumbles into#the reassuring figure of long term Chabrol collaborator (and former wife) Audran‚ who takes it upon herself to try and nurse the younger#woman back from the brink of oblivion. what follows is a quiet‚ unhurried study of a desperate psyche‚ all the more affecting for the#subdued‚ nearly vacant performance Trintignant gives: she is a woman hollowed out by her experiences and her addictions#i was surprised to read reviews with negative responses to the character (even in reviews that appreciated the film); i felt nothing but#pity for poor Betty‚ as much a victim of her vices and her psychological makeup as the people around her‚ perhaps more so#some took issue with the very ending in which she appears to 'win' and to start a new life but i think that reading ignores everything that#comes before: there can be little doubt that Betty will destroy this too‚ that we are simply witnessing the end of one cycle and the#beginning of another. challenging‚ soul searching stuff but a truly great central performance from an actor soon cruelly taken from us

@beatingheart-bride
"This is actually the happiest I've seen her in quite some time," Edward confessed with a wry smile, as he ladled himself a glass of punch. "Between reuniting with Susannah and having you in her corner, she's been much happier than she has been in a while."
If there was one thing Doreen Gracey excelled at (aside from throwing wild bal de masques and growing the most wonderful of flowers), it was masking her feelings through joviality and boisterousness, but both Edward and Belle knew better, and could see through that mask where others could not-or, perhaps in the case of her parents, would not.
"Her parents are...getting more serious about marrying her off," he confided to Philippe, keeping his voice down as he glanced briefly at the Gracey parents, chatting away with another couple across the ballroom. "They've been wanting her to go out more, to entertain more bachelors, and it's sincerely weighing her down..." It wasn't like she could tell them that her heart already belonged to someone else, after all.
Especially someone they would consider...inferior to her.
"So...having you here, and being with Susannah again, it...it means more to her than she or I could ever say," he finished: He was glad his Dore had such exceptional friends she could count on, people to help put her mind at ease and show that she wasn't always as trapped as she felt by her parents and the world they lived in.
"And I'd just like to say...thank you. Thank you very much for being there for her."
#((and she's absolutely gonna be living well! out from under mickey's thumb; she's finally able to bring her dream to life))#((running her own haberdashery; a haberdashery that's going to be a runaway success; full of hardworking employees))#((and a loyal customer base; something mickey himself won't be able to boast in her absence!))#((and beyond that her social standing has never been better! no longer is she an outcast; she may not be a high-class lady))#((living in a lavish mansion with philippe; but that's not what she wanted! she wanted to be with him))#((to live a quiet; peaceful life with their family and friends! meanwhile all mickey's got is a nagging wife))#((who doesn't give him the time of day! it's going to be such a refreshing turnaround for susannah))#((a successful business; a loving husband; best friends living next door...and then she becomes a mother!))#((never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined all of this coming true; and she's gonna be over the moon!))#outofhatboxes#beatingheart-bride#V:Genderbent

Sometimes I remember how Elizabeth Swann's story ends and get all annoyed again just like little kid me, she spent the whole time craving adventure and to be out on the sea and then after everything, after becoming the pirate king, she ends up playing 'I think I like this little life' and playing house waiting for 10 years when she can see her husband again as he can come on land :/
#COULD GIRLIE NOT BE ON A BOAT??#and dont come at me with 'having a quiet life isnt bad :(((' i am not saying it is#but it was not at any point elizabeths end goal the writers just decided it had to be a byproduct of her beibg a wife#not to mention how 9/10 times that is the exact plot route for women with elizabeths plot arc anyway#the men can get married and have kids and still be living an adventure#but oh no not rhe women#anyway#elizabeth swann

thalia is so growing on me i love my rich woman who has Problems.. i gave her ice powers for like. the elsa vibes.
#but im like damn... gale...karlach....stay away from her... or else ur gonna explode in the end....#really a coin toss between those two and im gonna be sad at the end but that's the thalia experience 😭😭#also i dont think she's gonna save the tieflings... not bc she's evil but she generally doesn't care... and curing the tadpole is her utmos#priority. like she's already stressed with her chaotic magic killing her if she loses 50/50 now you have to add brain worms on top of that?#funny that shri'iia does more heroic deeds and she's like. the evil aligned chara#but thalia is generally very cold in a sense that she's always looking at the bigger picture and she's willing to sacrifice/disregard#who gets caught in the crossfire.. like that's just another responsibility she has to bear for Her. and she's very the type to sacrifice he#own happiness for her Duty vibe. like i think she's just learned how to be content with whatever she's left with.#also she's her father's heir bc she's the only child to her father's First Wife. and thalia get step siblings along the way but i think tha#grief of losing her mother / becoming an adult/handling adult affairs quickly made her jaded on a lot of stuff#and she feels like it's her responsibility to lead her noble house to higher pastures so her step siblings can live freely#like she's just taking all the work to herself - as the Heir. and that's what she was doing UNTIL she gets the wild magic#now suddenly she feels like she's cursed. and the fact that it's chaotic by nature and so dangerous..!! she can't stay in court or at home#over the fear of harming someone. and she's learnt that to get rid of a problem you always have to go to the root of it#hence why she's travelling around finding more info and source of the wild magic in hopes to cure herself from it#and she kind of put her life on Pause bc she believes she can't get anywhere with this curse. but its like gworl u put ur life on pause lon#before that.. anyway her end goal is that once she cures herself and she's normal again she'll prob marry some other old money heir#set up trusts for her siblings and live a quiet life. but that wont happen obvi hehe#also one of the siblings' name is melpomene... being named from the goddess of comedy thalia is kinda boring lol#essentially her story is like. she learns how to have fun. essentially. depending on how i rp her idk yet actually

Started the day with the Hot Wife making some really banging hash out of the leftover corned beef and cabbage from New Year’s Day.
We both spent the day cleaning the house and prepping for delivery of the new stove we’re getting tomorrow.
Now we’re finishing up the evening reading: her a non-fiction book on infrastructure and me a film study of Queen Christina (1933, MGM, starring Greta Garbo), a movie that I love.
It’s been a good end to a crappy week. Hope y’all had a good day too.
#just life#wife life#it’s the quiet moments#butch#dyke#wlw#lesbian#queer#wives#this is love#lgbtq#pride#corned beef hash#busy Sunday#old married couple

reading my own oc lore and being gagged as if i didnt write it
#robin and aria you will rule the world forever and ever#me when theres a slow connection forming between ppl who cant stand each other and they have to come to terms w the fact that#they need each other desperately#not enemies to lovers bc theyre not lovers. they kiss sloppy style bc they want to break each others bones#its the adrenaline of fighting w someone#the inherent homoeroticism of pinning someone against a wall bc you hate them so much it makes you want to get closer to their#beating heart. so you can feel the fear and excitement manifest physically#also its an office romcom#and its also an expression of the despair the typical heterosexual lifestyle instills in me#marriage and children and a suburban home where no one cares about what happens to you#where youre just supposed to cook and clean and love him and do his laundry and watch tv and not have friends and babysit#thats total and utter misery to me#this one goes out to all the girlfriends and wives who are stated as such before theyre given personhood#women who are mothers and sisters and daughters and caretakers before theyre friends and workers and hobbyists#theyre loving and kind and sweet and quiet and friendly before theyre funny and weird and angry and righteous and cool#im sorry that the world puts us in these roles and i hope so desperately you get the relief of living a full life one day#that they dont open your funeral with how good of a mother and wife you were. how well you served the men in your life#anyways#sorry for dumping all that the state of the world just makes me feel things ig

The longer I am alive, the more my brain replays that scene in Lilo and Stitch where the scientist is watching Stitch fret around at night, and the scientist says something like, "poor thing, doesn't even have fond memories to keep it warm at night" or something
As a kid, I didn't realize how comforting memories could be, and I rarely had the luxury to create them.
I am glad I survived. It would have been easier, with fond memories to comfort me during painful times. I have many now, though, and they are indeed good company.
#i wish id sat in more trees and watched more falling stars and snuck out to watch the first colors of sunrise over the river more often.#i wished id understood how to make friends. i wish i could have been vulnerable enough to make friends. i wish surviving hadnt been a#constant struggle. it is what it is. sometimes when i was a kid id wonder if my future self would have more love for me. id ache for it to#be true--for someone to know me and still love me. and i love that younger version of myself so much. they did so good. it all hurt so#terribly but they did so good anyways. i am very proud of them for fighting through the bad things so i could find unimaginable happiness.#like life is still really hard but like...idk. i never knew id ever have a comforting friendship. i never knew someone would love all of me#its so precious to me--to exist here and now with a wife and a partner and a cat. to cherish my body and view it as a ally rather than a#nemesis and failure. this has been a big year for Learning To Be Gentle With Myself and ive found such a quiet restfulness. its peaceful in#my brain when all of the terror settles down and allows softness and quietness and gentleness to exist in my brain.#sorenhoots#and i have memories that are so warm now. they grow like a struggling garden but they grow. someday theyll grow like weeds i hope. ill do my#best to keep planting them.
