Shishiba pausing midfight to watch Shin getting bonked in the head, in a fight against two, no, three of Slur's power packer members, just to simp over how great osaragi is and how much he misses her right now is just... *swoons*

Shishiba is suddenly religious now. he has converted to [Osaragi] and religiously follows all its rituals and superstitions, as you see.

Where are you right now? your superstitious gremlin of a workwife is hiding in the bathroom because she saw a ghost.

and yet, these two having some sort of soulmate or smth connection that he thinks about her and she answers his call and even gets over her fear of ghosts to come save him??? like???

look at her crawl crawl after ripping a man to chunks. lmao what a gremlin.

she doesn't, more like never, wears any kind of expression on her face and this is probsbaly the most we get to see her despair

goth chainsaw wife x punk hammer husband okay nothing can be better

On all that season 01 love:

One of the things I find very funny is when people talk about Sara and Grissom’s relationship dynamic as if it suddenly came out of nowhere—whether that response is coming in the second season or the fourth or at the end of the sixth or whenever.

Just look at the way these two nerds look at each other! ⬆️

I mean, these two lovely science nerds were making eyes at each other from the moment he turned around—i.e., when she first showed up, in the second episode.

The adoration! ⬆️

THE ADORATION! ⬆️

“Could you come tape me up?” followed by eye sex in the truck was the third episode, my loves—as was “I keep trying to be your star pupil” and him first caressing her face.

The face caress! ⬆️

The workplace flirtation! (He loves his “work”!) ⬆️

Just try to tell me these two don’t want each other! ⬆️

Mile-high club “cite your source” airplane bathroom flirting was the ninth episode; her looking at him like he was the sun and the moon and the stars was the ninth episode.

The crime scene flirtation! ⬆️

The pure, unadulterated adoration! ⬆️

Y’all, “You want to sleep with me?” and the two of them sitting together outside, bundled up in blankets, watching a pig decompose, was the tenth episode.

Yes! Yes, he does! ⬆️

(I was really tempted on the weekend to make a new GIF-set that covered all their flirtiest, most 😍😍😍 season 1 moments, but honestly there are so many that that’s going to have to be a longer-term project.)

Anyway, it’s totally fine if someone missed it! That happens sometimes! But let’s not pretend that that’s the same thing as it not having been there, because it most definitely was.

The adoration—it’s 100% mutual, my friends! ⬆️

I know Sol's childhood and developmental years were like. CSA trafficking war front hellscape. And Devin's was background, unwell orphan to violently depressed god-child torture. And I even know that Ruby grew up in Oichan... but how did she get from that to "social worker who forges identities and rescues forcible sex workers at the cost of her own well-being"?

:O you are so nice for letting me infodump more.

so!

ruby and sol are about the same age and fled the same famine at about the same time. ruby was with her parents, sol was alone. tachni was one of a handful of places that seemed "welcoming" to oichen refugees, and it's also the center of global commerce, so. living there is a good opportunity!

actually getting INTO tachni is a Fucking Nightmare. both ruby and sol legally immigrated through contingency citizenships. a contingency citizenship essentially just means you sell yourself to the light temples & can't be contracted anywhere else (unless someone friendly with said light temples pays an EXORBITANT amount of money). and you can't ever leave. and you can't ever quit.

the consequences for leaving or quitting are. horrifying.

so like. call it indentured servitude or call it slavery. either way it's Not Great.

sol got in because she caught cozia's predatory eye. ruby got in because she was fluent in the language already and tested well enough to be a Gifted Student. so she was brought in as a general student -> nursing student -> proper nurse.

the problem is that the state of healthcare rights in tachni is Also Fucking Horrifying. in addition to invalid proceedings, you have straight-up slave marriages with spouses whose wives or husbands fully control their medical care; you have a world without HIPAA; you have a world where nonconformity and rebellious behavior are pathologized; you have a world where permanent asylum incarceration for developmental disabilities n chronic mental illness is the norm.

you have a world where doctors are cops to a MUCH greater extent than they are in the US. including working With The Actual Cops on subduing n "treating" patients.

ruby couldn't do it.

and ruby was obligated to do it for the Rest Of Her Life.

so. she looked for ways out Other than killing herself. and when she couldn't find any legal way to escape her circumstances, she started quietly learning to rebel from Inside those circumstances instead.

in very young adulthood, sol's husband robert purchased sol's contract because of his many political n social ties to the light temples. he later "borrowed" ruby the exact same way, because sol was physically sick and clearly mentally ill. and he wanted a live-in nurse for his wife who could be a friend from her culture, who spoke her language and cheered her up, and who would also report back to him. cop style.

ruby's refusal to betray sol's confidence was one of the most dangerous things she ever did.

how're you gonna call Louis ''booksmart but street-dumb''???? that man was a successful pimp his entire human life.

oh no, you're buying his self mythologizing as a tender innocent who wouldn't hurt a fly (under normal circumstances)

I need more fics of Zuko working at a teashop with Iroh (be it Pao's (iirc) or the Jasmine Dragon) but he's just really fucking short. Because can you imagine, be it Jet, Katara, anyone who's met Zuko (either as Zuko or as Li) stumbles into the teashop, makes a scene and comes off as a bad guy because they bullied this little boy?

I think I've read just one fanfic where this was a thing and I need more people to adopt the idea.

I just think it'd be funny if Katara tried to do what Jet did (let's say this happened a few days prior to Azula capturing Ba Sing Se), left because she realized no one believed her, returned later with the rest of the Gaang, Sokka tried backing her claim, he ALSO gets reprimanded for making stuff up about a little boy, and meanwhile this is all happening Aang and Toph are having a delightful time with their new friend "Li." Should they do something? Maybe. Will they? Nah, anyways Li what tea would you recommend?

deep in my heart i know that bee farseer and louise belcher from bob's burgers would be best friends

I wish I had proper support for my body. To sit and lie down without pain. Or being too floppy unable to use my arms and hands for things because not enough support to stop them flopping down.

I want to do activities and sit comfortably and able to use my hands to colour or draw or jigsaws.

I wish I could tolerate a more upright position. I wish I could sit up and do more things involving active control and movement of my arms.

I want my body to be in better alignment. I want to not be stuck in the same place - my bed in the same spot in my room with the same boring fucking view of my bedroom ceiling and walls all day every day.

I want to stop sliding down or slumping to the side in bed. I want my legs and feet and bum and back to not get sore from pressure on the same spots all the time. I want my muscles to not get strained and stiff and sore from being in weird positions due to being unsupported.

I wish I didn't dread lying down to sleep because I know it will hurt to lie there and it will hurt even more when I wake up. My body crumples and collapses in on itself when I lie down, and no configuration of pillows that I have tried is enough to put anything at good angles.

I wish I didn't dread sitting up in the morning with my usual pillows behind me, because I know I will be in for a day of discomfort and pain. And that is with the best configuration of pillows that I have found to work for me - I have tried many variations, believe me.

I wish I wasn't only able to walk short distances inside the house. Stuck in the same few routes over and over, always only with a purpose and not just walking around because I want to. I wish I was free to roam.

I am grateful at least for my swing and that I have the ability to get from bed to swing and sit in there for a period of time. But wish I didn't sit wonky and slumped and slouched which causes more pain later.

I feel so stuck. I feel so trapped.

It just sucks.

i so wish video game voice acting wasnt dominated by americans and specifically those same 5 americans who are in everything

Yeah I also find it frustrating that so many bnha fics are so fluffy and ooc. Fwiw proximity is one of my favorite fics in any fandom because of how much of myself I see in it - I did not grow up disabled, but I sure am now, and it perfectly captures the stubborn denial and the sense of loss and the struggle to carve a place for yourself in a world that does not want you as you are. I’m usually too shy to comment, but reread it whenever I’m emotionally prepared to have my heart squeezed into a sad pretzel shape. Thank you for writing ❤️

AHHHH OMG going insane over this I wanna eat it and hug it and put it on the dashboard of my car and frame it over my bed 😭😭😭

I'm so glad proximity connected with you in the exact way I intended it to, it is very much about coping with sudden onset disability and hearing that someone correctly parsed that and identified with it is driving me up the wall I'M EATING GLASS JCCHJCVJJJV

Sorry if this response seems absolutely insane I'm just. Feral over people correctly interpreting my work 🥺

I can't promise I'm going to update it soon but this ask has inspired me to immediately start work on the next chapter I need you to know THANK YOU 💕
