headcanon that percy and annabeth have a relationship contract they made after they got together once the war came to pass. they outlined it on paper in percy's bedroom. typed up a final draft using sally's laptop. and printed out and laminated it at the local library on their two month anniversary. and they abide by it like it's the law.

How did buck handle not giving him a hug right there?

Charles: Why does your generation have so many acronyms?

Peter, an absolute menace: It's convenient. For example, 'DTF?' means 'down to fight?' So you don't have to write it all out when you need to settle beef. Watch, if you text it to my dad, I bet he'll come right away.

Charles: Really??

Raven, texting Charles: What the hell did you just send Erik? He read it and immediately jumped out a window.

Charles: Wow, it actually works.

Peter: Mhmm

I think enough time has passed for me to talk about this. But the player/soul in undertale and deltarune has some really interesting lore we as a community do not touch or talk on as much as we should.

Like yeah, I'm very aware that it's a meta narrative of how we take Kris's autonamy away from them and how the typical self-insert doesn't work on either protag anyway. But the fact that when we look at it not in the meta way, but in-universe, it gets pretty fucked up and sad for us.

First of all. The Soul basically spawn in with no clue of who, what or where it is. All it knows is that it's in this child's body (Frisk) and it can move around and do stuff.

From there it goes on to do a regular first playthrough of the game. Exploring, befriending everyone, and just trying to figure stuff out and follow the story along

Than the neutral route ends and Flowey tells it how to get the better ending, so in it's curiosity and bittersweetness over what it just experience, it resets to be able to achive the true pacifist.

Than when it talks to Asriel he says that the name it selected for itself isn't the body they are in. ("You're not really [name] are you ?"). The confusion the Soul must have felt when that happened could have been horrifing. Especially considering how many of Frisk's actions and thoughts seemingly were on par to that of the Soul (again, I know it's intentional by the game to make us believe they are a self-insert, but once again remember that we are looking at a in-universe perspective to this godly entity that literally came out of nowhere) which could have lead it to believe it really WAS Frisk.

It than could have thought 'Maybe I'm a ghost, maybe I'm not Frisk but maybe I am the child the Dreemurs had adopted so long ago, after all the grave with their body always has my name in it, no matter how many times I change it, plus Asriel thought Frisk was me, right ?'. And that could have been it's thoughts for a long while before it ever decided to go geno route.

But when it did ? When it reached the end ? Could you picture the absolute horror and distress it had when it realised 'I'm not you ?' when Chara appeared ? Could think it's emotions when it realised it never was either of them ? Could you picture how distraught it is that this world is seemingly not a place where it naturally belongs ? No matter how attached or fascinated by all the people in this place it is, it shouldn't be here ?

And than it reaches the end of the game. Everything goes dark, it doesn't get to see either the surface world. And the void isn't even a place it stays long in because Chara suggests to bring the world back if it gives itself up to them.

Than, a voice. Someone proposes a new game.

That voice gives it a choise, a choise in making a vessel

Maybe, maybe just FINALLY, it can figure itself out.

Maybe it's name can be it's own. Maybe it can have it's own body. Maybe it can finally belong.

But no.

The vessel, IT'S Vessel is discarted.

There was no point in it's individuality, there was no point to the choise.

Why ? Why does that not matter ? Why does it not matter ??

Maybe it tries to chase after the voice, get the answers it wants, or maybe to try to get revenge, or maybe just to cry about that being unfair and quite frankly really fucked up from that voice's part to do that to it.

But it can't. That voice only talks briefly. Comes and goes as he pleases. Repeating the same thing.

"You're choises don't matter"

It can make it matter. It WILL make it matter. Maybe it won't belong. Maybe it never will. But it can make others understand the hurt. It slaughter the world befoere. What's another one really ?

gotta admit, as a certified mostly-recovered Moral OCD Haver™ who also identifies... quite a fucking lot with Enjolras, the idea of Enjolras having moral OCD doesn't sit well with me at all. Which isn't me saying people can't have that headcanon, don't get it twisted — I just know what I acted like when it was worse vs. what I act like now, and the headspace I inhabited back then was not one I would associate with strident commitment and single-minded purpose. To me, saying Enjolras has moral OCD simply because "activist" is one of his main personality traits feels like saying that activism itself is a mental illness.

(In reality, I would go as far as to say that a person with moral OCD would not be nearly as put together while engaging in activism as Enjolras is. I TRIED being involved in activism while having unmanaged moral OCD. At one point I had an hour long breakdown because I thought wearing blue jeans in April meant I was betraying the Autistic community. It wasn't even for symbolic reasons I just didn't have any other clean pants.)

You know who I can see having moral OCD, though? And who I can see a lot of my own experiences in?

Fucking Grantaire.

Grantaire who has been involved in activist efforts for a long time and is severely burnt out by the highly triggering environment that it is for him, who tried so hard to keep up with the unceasing demands his mind put on him in the name of being A Good Person™ but just can't do it anymore.

Grantaire who, at some point, figured out that heavy drinking was the only thing that could reliably shut up his ruminations.

Grantaire whose cynicism about the cause he fights for is a thought-stopping technique that worked a little too well but then became a compulsion in itself.

Grantaire who idolizes Enjolras — who seems to not just do well in that environment but thrive in it like a duck in water — but knows that spending too much time with him will make the bad thoughts creep back in and maybe this time he won't be able to stop them, so he sabotages any opportunity to actually get closer to the man he holds in such high esteem.

I don't know, man, I just got here. Maybe this is nothing.

I’m so enamored with Troy and Blink’s friendship bc like. These are two people who have not experienced actual friendship for a long time. And both of them have built up defense mechanisms to deal with that loneliness: Blink does everything asked of him to be helpful and wanted and needed, and Troy puts on a facade of a strong popular sportsguy to appear tough and admirable. But these traits are also what drive people away from them. No one ever truly gets close to Blink bc he’s deferential to everyone’s wants, and it leads to Blink building up resentment when he continues doing good things and gets nothing out of it. Troy’s performance of popularity really just makes him an asshole, and he’s unable to be genuine and more likely to do stupid things that hurt people

And so over the course of Wonderlust both of them have been drifting closer to friendship through plot and shenanigans, and then pushing each other away through the same flaws that they developed to deal with loneliness. Troy puffs himself up, Blink deprioritizes himself; Troy takes advantage of Blink, Blink hides resentment for Troy that bubbles up at unhelpful times. Episode 15 felt like a crazy turning point bc they’re 1. Directly recognizing their own flaws, 2. Making a commitment to working on them, and 3. Agreeing to help each other with them. And like!! Isn’t that insane!! We met not even a week ago, have been through and put each other through hell, and now I see what holds you back and I will stick with you as we both grow to become people that others might also want to be around!!

Anyways this is why I think Troy and Blink as besties is the best possible outcome and I hope they continue on this trajectory of not making each other worse and in fact reversing course on that process

Change my mind

One-Punch Man is straight man fujoshi with a light sprinkling of tits and ass (mostly on the covers) so that the fragile boy readers don't feel too left out.

Mind you, I don't want it fixed.
