HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK OMG

experimented on?? by the magnus institute??? somebody please explain i didn't do the ARG

[muffingnf]

forever thinking about how nothing will be the same as before this situation and george won't be the same ever again. i just hope he will take of his mental health after this, no matter what it takes, even if it means he will be far more distanced

anon this is seriously making me suicidal

on a real note i mostly worry about how this will impact his ability to form connections and make relationships with other people. like imagine feeling too cautious to go near non-ccs because oh god what if theyre a secret fan or what if they put something online and ‘expose’ me. but then u can’t go near fellow cc’s either because you cannot tell who has genuine intentions and who just wants to fuck you over later down the line. and none of this is even shit fans like me should even be thinking about i cannot stress enough how none of this should’ve been public and i feel so fucking bad for him that he’s had to be so publicly vulnerable after being so private his whole career.

on another note i suppose dnf will be trauma bonded for life now

I hate being gullible so much because people often think it's funny to fuck with you just because you'll believe it every time. There's been so many times when people who know I'm gullible would purposefully say incorrect facts or make absurd jokes just to see me believe them and laugh in my face. I get it, it's amusing to see me believe the most asinine statements ever, but please at least try to see how this is incredibly degrading from my perspective. My gullibleness symbolises my trust in you and your words, and it genuinely hurts when you make fun of that. And yes, it is "just a joke" but it's not about the joke itself, it's about what that joke represents.

This especially pisses me off when people point out how gullible I am and it's like, I get it I believe in every absurd statement that you throw at me now please leave me the fuck alone. I'm not a zoo animal for you to jeer at, I'm a human being with thoughts and emotions and all I want is for you to understand that stating increasingly absurd facts just to laugh at me when I believe it is humiliating to me.

WIP... Oh shit, its actually Wednesday??

Tagged by @wrathfulrook @clicheantagonist @marivenah @cassietrn @the-silver-chronicles @socially-awkward-skeleton @direwombat and I thiiiiink that's it... sorry if you've tagged me & you're not on here, its been a hot minute since I've posted a wip wednesday & my memory is basically Swiss cheese

Tagging anyone who wants to self indulgently share a WIP! Feel free to tag me, I love to read new stuff :)

**Also terribly sorry in advance cause this turned out to be a bit longer than I thought it would be**

WIP 1: OG Verse - fun times with Celeste & Gabriel

He has to resist the urge to throttle her, lest he ruin the inside of his house filled with years of carefully handpicked items, ones he held a certain fondness for. "You ruined my life, Celeste. Or do you not recall?” "Your life?" She tilts her head in mock curiosity. "What life? The one where you were sent anywhere they told you to go, like some mongrel with a barely slackened leash?" “Excuse me?" “We can pretend otherwise. Keep up the illusion that your life was marvelous, picture perfect even. But we both know the truth, don't we?" She takes a step closer. “You were nothing but the High Council’s defanged pup. Cluelessly doing their bidding before I freed you. If anything, you should be thanking me." "Thanking you?" He clenches and unclenches his fist in an attempt to suppress his anger. "Hate me if you must, fight me even, but do it later. Right now we must get out of here. If they do not know where I am yet, they soon will. What do you think will happen once they realize one of their precious dhamphirs has been under their nose this whole time?"

Celeste truly is the nicest individual you'll ever meet :))

Including this little snippet from Gabriel's pov as well cause idk, I just really like it

Unbidden worry strikes him. He listens, waits, and when his ears pick up the sound of soft, even breathing he lets out a breath of his own. Celeste and the baby were still there, unharmed, perhaps even sleeping. It brings an odd sense of comfort, reminiscent of times long forgotten, times he didn’t want to remember. If he did, he’d have to remember what brought them to a halt in the first place and he had a job to do. Grief and old wounds had no place here, at least not at the moment. Kicking his boots off, he treks into the bathroom and gently closes the door behind him. It’s a simple design: Shower to his left, toilet to his right, and a sink with a mirror above it directly across from the door. Leaning against the sink, he ruffles his short, black hair that's shaved on the sides and traces his fingers over an old, faded scar. It runs down almost the whole length of his face, going over his left eye and stopping just shy of the corner of his mouth. Overlapping it is another, only this one goes across his face horizontally, over the bridge of his nose and from cheek to cheek. The only thing that remains of the old Gabriel are his blue eyes, once full of life and mischief, now faded and dull. Turning away from his visage, he heads toward the shower and turns it on, stripping down while he waits for the water to heat up. He doesn’t need a mirror to see the multitude of scars and tattoos that adorn his body. Aching for another drink—if only to dull his senses and lingering memories once more—he curbs the yearning and steps beneath the water.

WIP 2: They Watch From The Pews

Willa squirms, trying to dodge cold fingers that reach out to trace over the letters, caressing them with a sadistic fascination that makes her stomach curdle in disgust. Disgust quickly transforms into a desperation to get away once he finally reveals the knife kept hidden behind his back. “Usually I’d peel the sin off but… I think this will suit you much better, don't you?" Pressing the tip of his blade into her skin, he teasingly drags it across her skin. "Tell me, Deputy, how did you feel when you got the news of Samuel's death?" "Chipper." She spitefully answers with a sneer. John heaves a dramatic sigh and presses the blade down harder, prompting tiny beads of blood to bubble up as he traces over the letters of her tattoo. "You can make this easier for yourself, you know." "I've heard that before. Got me a bullet to the leg." "Because you ran. My men only acted accordingly." "Fuck you and your men, pussy." "My, what a mouth on you." He tuts and makes a deeper cut. Her teeth sink into the leather in her mouth, denying him the satisfaction of hearing her make a noise. Without pause, he moves onto the second letter, brows scrunched up in concentration as he goes over the lines again and again. It isn’t until he’s on the last letter that she finally breaks with a muffled groan. He stops, lifting his eyes from his work. “Comfortable?”

John & Willa are bonding so well. Truly, I think they're starting to get along!

NOTES FOR MYSELF to ponder. But while I’ll let a lot of the info coming out from these leaks stew, I want to start compiling notes of things of interest. Since some of this lines up with stuff I’ve already considered/is similar but takes it in a different direction, but I like the added implications. So will maybe add to this as time goes. Note that it was the Pokemon/Human Pokemon stuff I found most interesting so a lot of this is that. The other piece of worldbuilding I’ve always felt is lingering on the edges that even I debate how much I want to touch. But if something is there I can’t help but consider the implications. Also yes, I know the beta leaks often contradict each other/are unreleased for a reason but still picking and choosing what I like, particularly when it compliments ideas I already have.

Dialga is alpha coded and Palkia is omega coded, or at least if I was going to assign this duo that designation like I did with Xerneas and Yveltal, this would make the most sense

Reasoning -> From one of the creation myths mentioning Dialga is the dad and Palkia is the mom of the Lake Trio

Other interesting thing of note is a different myth mentioning something to the effect of humans being descended from Palkia while Pokemon are descended from Dialga. Perhaps why Palkia is bipedal while Dialga is on all fours from a design standpoint.

Humans likely fall into the Field/Water 1 egg group (previously had assumed they would just be Human-Like but apparently not)

Reasoning -> If one looks at all the Pokemon that are mentioned in the “human/Pokemon relationship” myths that result in children, these are the shared egg groups that they would fall into.

Circling back to the humans descended from Palkia thing, perhaps they get their Water 1 typing from Palkia. Is part water.

I think about the dubious Word Of God note about N being born from Pokemon too much and would you look at who falls in the Field egg group. Zoroark. Ghetsis + Zoroark = N looking more and more viable since would also easily match the vibe of those stories. Zoroark being based on a yokai (kitsune) who in some legends tricks human men by appearing human. Some even marrying said human man and having his children. It’s like…kinda spot on the vibe of those other myths. To the point I’m convinced it was actually considered as a possible origin point for N at some point. But I do still greatly dislike the N is a Zoroark theory so ignoring this one (the myths do at least let the mom Pokemon give birth to human children tho so have an out! N’s not a Zoroark but his mom is).

Celestica people are direct descendants of Arceus.

Reasoning -> From the creation myth that talks about Arceus talking the form of a women, marrying a human man, and having his children (who seem to be prototype Dialga and Palkia, but again, multiple beta myths here so often contradict each other).

But the point here is I had already considered how the “God Touched Blood” thing that gives Cogita and Volo their long life spans is probably directly related to Arceus somehow. So what if that connection was just literal. At the very least, from a mythology standpoint, I’m sure the legends of the Celestica people say they’re descended from Arceus. Thus why Volo is feeling extra justified in becoming the god of the new world. Whether true or not (and even he probably doubts the myths are meant to be literal), legend says he is directly descended from Arceus. If the blood of God runs through his veins, why wouldn’t he be justified in making a new, better world where Arceus is failing.

Lucas/Rei’s Hisuian Typhlosian is his over protective/possessive wannabe suitor (will I actually run this one for real. Who knows, but I’m pondering).

This one is 1000% just me acting up but I keep thinking about it anyway. That Typhlosian myth and its implications (still the best one of the bunch). I know the true reason they used Typhlosian for Hisui is likely because it’s meant to be based around a mujina (but also…that’s why the Typhlosian in the myth can shapeshift. Cause obviously based on the same yokai). And I’ve seen enough art of Hisuian Typhlosian being over protective of the protag that leans on the possessive side. Gets me thinking (also if the anime can run a Pokemon in love with their trainer plotline like they did with Ash and Chikorita, why can’t I do it too 😤).

I just think it would be funny if Rei is oblivious to the whole thing. Is use to his Pokemon being affectionate with him, particularly when he thinks about his old team (who he still deeply misses). And while he’s not use to one of his Pokemon seeming to want to drive off certain other humans the way Typhlosian does, he does have his Pokemon protect him the first couple times he goes into heat. So kind of assumes it’s a carryover of that. Fighting off any alpha who are perceived as showing too much interest. Just an odd quirk. Obviously Volo is the main love rival Typhlosian extra doesn’t like (cause is making the most progress with Rei out of everyone. Can tell Rei likes him even if Volo isn't making a move). But does try to drive off other potential suitors as well.

Again, Rei is oblivious since he’s not well versed in myths/folklore. Or even if he know about the myth is just like “oh silly made up mythology with no basis in reality, Pokemon and humans having that kind of a relationship isn't a real thing.” Would not see any type of serious parallel. But you know who is super well versed in myths and their origin? Mr Volo. So surely he would notice/know there is a basis for the myth. I don’t think he would care at all on the early side of things. Would be amused by the situation if anything, particularly the bit about Rei being too naive to notice. I debate if he would drop little hints to Rei about just how affectionate his Typhlosian is towards him, just to see if Rei picks up on anything (poor taste joke would be saying something to the effect of making sure he doesn't end up his Pokemon's little cave wife, but even I don't think Volo would say something like that early on in their relationship while he's being extra sure to "play nice." Later on once he lets his edge slip in every once in a while tho...). Once he and Rei are fucking, would still not actually care. Even if Typhlosian was extra hostile towards him, would just be like “too bad, I won” (and then tell himself competing with a Pokemon of all things is beneath him, so not going to seriously acknowledge the situation).

Idk the idea of them as somehow being lowkey love rivals is funny to me since Rei the whole time before The Incident is just like “will I ever see Barry again :(“ when he thinks of anything romance related. Beating back his feelings for Volo and oblivious in general to most other potential suitors.

[bookwyrminspiration]

his birth name was kristian. and they changed it to christian--changed. they did it fully intentionally and well aware--when they adopted him at 4 because he was "god's gift to them". he went from kristian pusztai to christian grey. hatred and loathing on planet earth i'm fucking seething

[that-was-anticlimactic]

actually, no. you know what? i am so sick of this “marinette is just a friend” bs. okay. cool. adrien said she was just a friend a few times. whatever. it’s not that big of a deal and everyone in the mlb fandom like. hyperfixates on that??? idc if it’s a “just a joke” because it’s utterly ridiculous at this point. i have literally seen people go on heated rants about how stupid or clueless adrien was during the umbrella scene because he called mari just a friend. are you kidding me??? y’all are really going to take away that moment for him? he just made like his first ever friend in nino and when he called her a friend, he looked so excited because this boy has only ever had one friend before. of course he’s going to call mari just a friend because he just met her and the only time she’s actually spoken to him outside of the suit at this point is to yell at him like... y’all...

and this is not me hating on mari because i love her so so so much. i just hate how passionate and heated fans get about this. i mean... y’all... adrien didn’t even think mari liked him??? like, in puppeteer two, he is literally upset because he came to the conclusion that mari hates him. also, of course he’s not like in love with or crushing on her when she’s barely spoken actual sentences to him! again, not me hating on mari and her nerves because like i get it, it’s hard. and also this is like adrien’s first time interacting with people as peers, so 1. of course romance is not his main priority 2. he doesn’t understand social cues or situations very well At All which is made abundantly clear in the show 3. i don’t... i don’t think adrien knows what affection is??? i mean, he’s definitely learned some over the course of the show, but he’s used to a neglectful / abusive father, his stoic assistant, his bodyguard who doesn’t really talk like at all, chloé being chloé, and hoards of fans declaring that they’re in love with him, hanging all over him, acting like he’s a shiny thing rather than a person, etc... so like. how is adrien supposed to actually comprehend that mari likes him???

and okay no my last point: so so so sick of the double standard. i have seen countless people rant and rave and scream and shout about how stupid adrien is for not returning mari’s feelings or knowing he has a crush on her and then these same people will turn around and berate chat noir and say things like “gosh ladybug isn’t obligated to return his feelings:/” like... hELLO??? why is ladybug not obligated while adrien is??? it’s ridiculous and disgusting and i’m so so so tired of “just a friend” jokes on tumblr, in art, in fics, in youtube compilations... like... can’t we be normal about this? and i don’t mean normal as in “casually enjoy” i mean normal as in can we stop being so aggressive and harsh and hostile towards literal fourteen year olds my God they’re children they’re allowed to make mistakes and mess up and my God the way y’all talk about lila is disgusting, too like i hate her but i don’t want her tortured and killed??? and the way people characterize the classmates as physically and verbally assaulting mari because of lila??? like... my God they would never??? they would all honestly side with mari chameleon is a bad episode and is poorly written and everyone is out of character please use your critical thinking skills and understand that chat noir is not harassing ladybug anymore than mari may be harassing adrien (aka they are not harassing each other at all my God) and stop insulting and demonizing fourteen year olds so your otp can get together thanks

Getting annoyed with myself because I'm looking for validation for breaking up with my ex YET AGAIN

[suwunnysideup]

the feeling of pride when someone comments on a separate thing asking about my fic bc they like it vs. the feeling of sadness that they don’t want to focus on the newer thing bc of the older thing
