#and a reason to take up the challenge

[ilovedthestars]

one thing ive been thinking is that it would be cool to see characters in fiction who are both attracted to each other romantically and they choose to stay friends, strictly platonic. NOT because they're traumatized or afraid that the relationship wouldn't work out. they just really love being friends and prefer being friends over any other options. [there's no real reason for sending you this jdhjfhg i just wasn't feeling like posting it so i thought. i will put this in stars' inbox]

(this ask is like two weeks old. oops.)

i totally agree!! I have def seen people talk about like, one person having unrequited romantic feelings but being okay with staying friends bc they still value their friendship. but idk if i've seen anyone talk about this kind of thing!! and i would absolutely love to see it. so often romance is treated as an Upgrade of friendship, and i love the idea of two people deciding. no actually. the relationship we have right now is great and we don't need to change it. romance is on the table but friendship is the better option for us. idk i agree that sounds cool!!

iirc this HC tends to vary, but usually coalesces around a certain few options so i'm curious.

sorry for the weird wording (because i just can't english right now). also not separating between ingo or emmet being the one swearing, ran out of options to list all the combinations for the latter so i'm combining it. you can specify which one specifically swears more/less in the notes!

Just had the beautifully heartbreaking idea of Kakashi, on a bad day when he can’t stop the memories of all the deaths he’s responsible for (in his mind at least) challenging Gai to a fight and going a bit too far. When Gai (or maybe Pakkun or another bystander) calls him on it, he breaks and starts screaming at Gai to be faster, hit harder, do more, just be better Gai! Beat me! I need you to beat me because I need to know that someone can! I need to know someone can and will stop me!!

And poor Gai, who feels all emotions so deeply, knowing what that panic feels like, opening a gate just to quickly get Kakashi in a lock, holding him down, and telling him quietly that Yes rival, I will stop you.

can we talk about the ending to shubble’s afterlife series?? please??

like yes, mechanically, she lost her tenth life. she jumped and died from fall damage. but that’s not how she ended the story.

shulk shubble (shulkble?) had just witnessed the death of the only other person properly remaining, the inverse of herself, shadow joey/shadow boy/shadow 2.0. the last thing she wanted to do was watch the sunset and have a picnic, the one thing she endlessly craved on her first life back when she was the shadow.

“everybody’s kind of.. long gone and dead. onto the next… life. after-afterlife?”

“…i don’t really know what comes next.”

and then she simply vanishes. she simply says this is goodbye, and then the camera is obscured by a stray leaf and she’s gone. it’s quiet, there’s just the sound of the wind as it goes dark.

she always loved watching the sun.

I’m about to go on another rave about Nicole in Aiden’s perspective because GODDDD IM TWEAKING TF OUT OVER HER LACK OF QUESTIONING ON THE PHONE WHEN DAMIEN HAS HER KIDNAPPED

(This yap is spontaneous meaning my points aren’t 100% correct and were farted out of the top of my head)

And it’s always two things; not really two unreasonable things, but two things nonetheless

Worrying Jackson, and wanting Aiden to get her out of here. No confusion. No anger.

There’s barely anything whether it be “who the fuck is this guy”, because if anything I’d be questioning that, especially in later calls where she’s settled into the place and has been looked after.

Because how did she know Damien’s name by the time Aiden rescued her? Did Damien explain himself? Did she eavesdrop?

I mean I guess she probably has to eavesdrop to get as much info as she can because she knows her brother well, and from some other talks, he speaks to people like they’re on the same page as him. (For example; collateral. Clara’s confused about Aiden’s raving and it takes a bit for her to catch on until she realises it’s the IP address they traced. Didn’t recognise the name whatsoever. (Or did, and had to take a minute because Uhh yeah that’s the second guy she profiled alongside Aiden.).)

Like if I were Nicole I wouldn’t only be worried about my son, I’d also be confused, as well as angry. Why am I here? Who is this guy? What’s his connection to my brother?

Maybe she didn’t show emotion because she didn’t want anything out of her body language to be used against her brother?

Was she not allowed to ask questions in the event that she was afraid Damien could kill her if she said the wrong thing? Did Damien already answer her questions and that’s why her mood simmered throughout each phone call?

(Draft edit: okay maybe she was angry and questioning outside of the phone calls: “had a chat with your sister. Saucy girl.” “no surprise you’re siblings. She’s hotheaded like you.”)

Clemont is just really funny in general i think. he's just like that, realistically theres so much to unpack about him;

he made an entire invention where he spoke to the mayor and was spread out across the town of the uni he was in which he got in at the age of maybe like 8.

he's a gym leader. he lost his gym to his invention,

there was the slightest chance he could've been mind controlled.

his bag is a bag of holding

he can't run

his entire mental state is the way it is because of a single mistake that wasn't even his fault

There's so much to unpack about him and the creators were like; "yeah anyways!"

okay but seriously, i think we as a fandom neglect the fact that if it wasn't for Clemont's anxious(???) paranoid(???) quick thinking(???) overly prepared(???) he probably he would've gotten mind controlled. like what was up with that.

-⚡(you can call me clem anon! its also just really funny and the fact that i've so far only exclusively talked about him makes it even funnier. electric anon is okay too !)

Clemont is his own bag of holding lol, there really is SO MUCH with him and I'm shaking you on the shoulders rn clem nonnie. Please. How is it possible that there is so much to him as it is. I need to study him under a microscope.

With the first point, that always made me laugh in a way lol. Him at the age of possibly eight created a power source slash Electric Pokemon recharger for a whole town/city. The mayor has noticed his efforts. This is before he is a Gym Leader, and this is the place where he made the promise to Shinx (a promise that he broke, not by any fault of his own, but by the very thing that brought them together in the first place).

The way he actually just straight up lived in Prism Tower, or at least that's how it felt, along with Bonnie. Their father is in the same city with a house but they won't bother with that and he doesn't bother them until they are MIA for at the very least a few weeks if not months. His reasoning for being a Gym Leader is to wield Electric Types from every region and become an Electric-Type Trainer that the world has never seen. The fact that he can be this ambitious with battling gets me (and also his learning from school carrying over c':)

His bag is also a mechanical marvel (not Volcanion, sorry). His Aipom Arm has only malfunctioned once (1 time), and he's easily able to lift Bonnie into the air with it. Also we never see this beyond the first ep but it has an inflatable airbag??? That is actually safe and comfortable to land on even with the everything in his bag as it is.

Even after the whole series and after everything they've ever went through, he still cannot run. Only one time he has ever sprinted ahead (in this realm/dimension) and that was to get to a festival about Zapdos of all Pokemon (and maybe that inventing fair as well??). No one comments on it beyond that one moment. He's also tried to make shoes to help him go up hills quicker but he never tried that one again lol (he forgot he even had it until Serena mentions the monorail, in which also, wow. this gang i swear).

That's actually one of the saddest parts (and something I can totally relate with). The way that we see him so happy and open with Shinx beforehand, ready to learn and be hands on and playing outside even with all the work that he had. And then we hear about how he lost his Gym, how his Pokemon disregard his words and his invention doesn't see him as worthy or strong enough, and it really is him just living out a nightmare of his own making in a way. His fear from back then keeps haunting him with the mistakes that he makes now, and even after meeting with Luxio again you can see the way he just... accepts that he's no longer wanted or forgiven. He's fine with it. He rather everyone have a better life than he does. Just,, he needs a hug. Lots of them.

HELP PLS you've said exactly what I've been thinking off this whole time!! Geez, I thought I was alone in thinking that we brush off whatever happened to Clemont in 'The Needs of Many!' like I get that we lose Greninja, but hello? He got straight-up kidnapped right in front of our eyes! He was going to be made into a superhuman (which has some very very worrying connotations beyond what is already happening). He too was blasted by the Mega Evo Energy, and even if he did resist the mind control, there's got to be other effects as well. If his friends weren't OP and reckless as they were he would've actually been carted away to who knows where and it would've been a matter of time until his preventive measures were found out. And the way he already had a counter against it, against the beam specifically (and for it to be able to work without any issues) is also so sad and worrying in a way?? It's definitely paranoia to me, it was very specific (more than usual, anyways), small enough to hide and easy enough for him to grab. Poor boy :(( I need to just sit down and think every time I remember this is an ep that exists because they just went ham with it, didn't they??
