[indooroutdoorboyfriend]

AWOOOOGGAAA!!!!! IT'S YAP O'CLOCK!!!!!!!

trying to decide if my inquisitor will be a transfem butch or a transmasc butch is truly agonizing

[deepseaphantom]

i hate it when fanfics type out accents. like doing shit like "ah'm" for "i'm" theres other examples but i try not to read those fics cause more often than not when a fic is written like that it is a bit racist

anyway im not the first to say this and theres others who have put this more eloquently

[3416]

this is just so incredibly funny to me. is he "happy" to see mitch and auston on different lines....... who the hell would ask that fkjdslkf.... like he wants to win games, and he's doing the exact same thing sheldon keefe always did too in terms of blendering lines a bit when the lineup's a mess anyway. it's so fucking silly to me, where else would this be a narrative that you're clamoring to split up your two best players and find so much glee when it happensfjkdls..... do the people of edmonton cry all the time when mcdavid and draisaitl take shifts together...... are fits being thrown when the avs lineup is mackinnon-rantanen as a first line bc how dare they not 'drive their own line' or 'spread out the offense'. like it's just such a fake ass narrative to act like they've never played apart or can't or that this team loses more when they're together and we're winning bc they're not bc all of those are just factually incorrect. maybe coaches ultimately always come back to them for a reason :)

[infizero]

i think interpreting dynamics that dont have any canon basis to be familial as familial is totally fine but a) you cannot act like this is canon fact and, in tandem with that, b) you cannot attack people for interpreting it differently. believe me i am all for killing people who sexualize ACTUAL familial/familial-coded dynamics with knives but you have got to understand that just bcuz these two characters are friends does not mean they are siblings and it does not mean you get to get mad at others when they inevitably ship them

“‘Anything’, you say?” The question is rhetorical, said merely to hear himself speak more than anything—the pen is all but flying across the sketch-page already, the illustration coming to life beneath his fingers without pause. “It’s quite my luck that I can work with such an open-ended wish, then.”

A chuckle is tacked onto the end; he can’t help the tease, can’t help from making his own amusement, at the young man’s expense. He thinks, for a moment, of how very dangerous that word is, when spoken to a creature like him—one cannot, should not, face his kind and say they wish for him to do ‘anything’. Even if it is just in the context of a quick drawing, such a thing bears consequence still (nothing is trivial, unless he so chooses to see it so).

Consequences, however, do not always have to be meted out on a grand scale; he is no stranger to doling out more than is fair, at times, but he is also not without his understanding of what could be too far. So Daisuke will suffer a small laugh, if only to satisfy Sebastian’s inability to ignore such the infraction (and for the better that he does—Saying such things, most especially without hesitation, can get even the most iron-willed beings into trouble, some day.)

“My, but do forgive me; I assumed not that you had meant so, either.” He corrects his own infraction easily, only sparing a glance (calculative speculation masked into apology) up from his work before he returns to it again. “Neither is it so unusual to assume that I have created art for my Master, however; what I meant is that his age is not the correlation to my doing so.”

Really, it is not as if he’s complaining; his meal does not need to be artistically inclined in order for him to consume it, after all. Beyond what is required of his education, his Master hardly partakes in the more creative avenues of life as it is (a soul living only for and until its want for revenge is fulfilled will hardly allot itself time for the finer aspects of existence).

“Nevertheless, there is no need for apology.” He continues on, the matter dismissed as easily as the clouds parting above them to reveal the sun. “Offense was neither intended nor done, if I may so humbly assume myself; there is no need for worry.”

But, oh, satisfaction curls deep and twisting within his mind as the young man finally gives in. Dark, smug elation is hard to keep from his own features; even if it took time, he got what he wanted out of the offer, and it is nothing short of pleasing.

Is it not so much easier to simply relent, to acquiesce to one’s own desires? Human’s overwhelmingly have such an inability to resist them for long, and even with a far more limited patience for waiting to see it done than he lets on, he will never tire of seeing attempts to try crumble with just a bit of prodding.

“That you would accept our gift at all is gratitude enough.” Especially for myself; I require nothing more. “Please, I implore you to think nothing of it.”

His duty as both creature and butler fulfilled, for the time being, he hardly notices when his own hands still over the paper. What he’s drawn is one of the roses growing in the garden, close-up and detailed—simplistic in its choice, perhaps even predictable given where they are, but he’s sure it matters not. Not just for it having gone said, but also because the young man had been enthralled by them upon initial sight. Though, to think it’s merely his duties that give him pause would be wrong, because what is this about him knowing famed artists, might young Daisuke elaborate on that—?

(Ah, but wait; it would not be so off-base...)

“...Young Master Daisuke,” he starts, , “it was not to my knowledge that you were of such infamy yourself!”

A light scold, mostly untrue; he’d done his reading of the Niwa family several days prior to the young man’s arrival, but what-with the warning of the Phantom Thief appearing, he hadn’t gotten far. Other than being of worth-enough to have his Master agree to their young son paying a visit, there’d been little other evidence to suggest they were of nobility beyond any norm—knowing artists of any sort was mere territorial expectation.

(And yet, he still can’t help but to want to press; if only to see what is found in doing so.)

“To be so acquainted with famous artists,” it doesn’t matter that they weren’t named or known to him, “that they give you advice, surely you would know something of criticism. Might this be a way for you to judge my talents instead of merely observing them, despite the knowledge that my own work will pale in comparison to such famed individuals? How very cruel of you; to make me think you were merely interested...”

Feigned self-doubt sees him sighing dramatically, tilting the sketch away from the human’s sight. Surely he could have been warned he would be in the presence of one like this, he would have prepared his heart—!

(His facetiousness knows no bounds.)

' mm , well , really --- ' he considers it for a moment : what he'd like against what he'd dare to say that he might need , and his heart's curiosity quickly wins out versus the rest . ' anything is okay ... ! '

even if sebastian's work turned out infinitely complex , wouldn't he still be able to study it , then ? taking to it like a souvenir , one he would find far more intriguing and organic than what priceless piece his mother expected him to return with from this place .

' er , uh ! i didn't mean anything bad by it about ciel being so young , either --- i guess i just imagined you drawing for him often , maybe ... ' or was that simply the sort of thing he'd have had his own butler doing , if argentine was anything like half as well-put together as the aide before him ?

the more he thought it over , the more stupid everything seemed after-all . even his own hidden dexterity contributed little to nothing towards creative endeavors . what did it matter how swift or clever a butler and phantom thief could be ? without the proper sense for art , motions were merely motions : ' ... sorry , i shouldn't have assumed anything . '

his head dips and his shoulders slump a little ; in the end , he easily relents . ' if it's really no trouble for a sketchbook either , then , um ... t-thank you . thank you to you both ... ! '

and an enormous apology , one he doesn't dare to actually voice , though the anxiety of such a decision remains clear on his troubled expression --- easily mistaken for a polite discomfort in accepting whatsoever . the irony of his interests has never gone unrecognized , at least by his own self . a phantom thief's duty was to rob fine arts ; not laughably attempt to produce them . sebastian's words could have comforted , if only they didn't remain half ignorant .

a pity and a shame , but best kept that way --- such various lies and omissions were perpetual , outright necessity . nevertheless , daisuke keeps his curious gaze down at the butler's work in progress .

' at least i can say if making art wasn't fun , not even a little a bit , then i probably wouldn't care about it so much . besides , back at home , i made friends with a lot of really famous , incredible artists --- ' lives that were like beautiful works of art in their own right . ' they were nice enough to give even someone like me compliments and lessons , sometimes ... so maybe i just don't want to disappoint them . '

I don't think I've ever encountered a lesbian couple as deranged as Wanpleng in fiction before like they really take the trophy for how toxic and messed up they are and they're only 17 right now! I just know it's gonna get so much worse 😭

but already we have absolutely insane levels of jealousy and codependency issues as well as fucking astronomical levels of romantic friendship intimacy and blatant gay denial. like they just took a casual bath together and Pleng gave her platonic bestie a massage while they were naked in a bath tub together like it was no big deal! Yes, Pleng has a "holy shit I'm gay" realization shortly after that but the fact that the bath even occured in the first place ... like how gay and oblivious do you have to be.

And like I know standards of skinship are different in a lot of Asian countries and these two characters in particular grew up together in the same household because one is the daughter of the maid and the other daughter of the rich ppl, but still!!! that shit ain't normal or typical!!!

and then there's the fact that they're so codependent attached that they're both fucking terrified of the idea of being "left behind" by the other but they both seem to think of it as inevitable. So, Wan semi-seriously semi-jokingky, I think, suggests that she should get a boyfriend before Pleng does. In Wan's mind, this is how she can combat the fear of losing Pleng. She quickly realizes this wouldn't work, of course, but not before Pleng realizes she's in love with Wan and that realization utterly terrifies her.

And she acts as any lesbian with extreme internalized homophobia would ... she runs away from her feelings. She avoids Wan, puts the distance up, and she decides to get Wan a boyfriend so that in her mind Wan isn't leaving her ... she's leaving Wan! 😭😭😭

These two lesbians are so fucking crazy.

And Wan, of course, sees Pleng acting insane about the whole boyfriend situation and rightly calls her out for it! She's ecstatic when Pleng is jealous, but utterly horrified and upset and heartbroken when Pleng tries to force her and Ek together.

That was probably the first time Wan had ever told Pleng that she hated her. Granted, I'm sure they probably had some toddlerhood spats but this was probably the first serious time in their young "adulthood" where that was said.

And Pleng reacts as any young lesbian who is desperately in love with her best friend who she is too intimately attached to would ... she tries to kill herself.

Like holy shit.

Wan says "I hate you" one time—after Pleng very smugly declared that Wan was basically incapable of being annoyed with Pleng after Pleng's extremely controlling behavior, like seriously look at this smug ass face no wonder everyone hates her

this is the face of a girl who gets whatever she wants especially when it concerns her friend! the face of a girl used to always being in control!

but anyway! that's kind of the point isn't it? everyone hates her. her personality is kind of toxic and everyone, including her own parents, points it out to her. everyone hates her. except Wan (and her family ofc but they're not important rn). Wan doesn't hate her. and that relationship is so special to Pleng.

she wants to distance herself from Wan in an attempt to avoid her own feelings (and in effect avoid rejection from her feelings) but she also doesn't actually want distance or separation. not really. what she wants is to feel in control of herself and her feelings.

and Wan telling Pleng that she hates her—rejecting her when Wan is the ONLY person that sincerely loves and cares for Pleng—is fuckinh devastating and takes all that control away from her...

and she attempts to kill herself to escape that feeling and heartbreak.

like jfc these two girls are so messed up!

talk about your feelings goddammit!!! y'all can touch each other constantly and press your foreheads together and be naked in a tub together but you can't talk about your feelings???? fucking emotionally constipated lesbians

[theharlotofferelden]

Like even saying this as a “cute side effect” of crunch culture is so fucking tone deaf that I can’t believe someone in the DA fandom would have the fucking audacity to say it.

I honestly would really like to know where some of these people were when Kotaku was interviewing the DA team after Inquisition launched about “BioWare Magic” and what their thoughts are on “stress casualties” within the company or how so many of the employees straight up wanted Inquisition to fail because “BioWare Magic” was never fucking sustainable, and how that point was proven when Andromeda came out in 2017. “They’ve worked under tougher conditions” is shit defense/deflection regarding someone on here simply fucking saying “Maybe we shouldn’t prioritize fictional worlds over real people.”

Saw someone who was like “We can be critical of VG while keeping the bad industry standards in perspective over fictional worlds because this shit directly affects real people” and someone beamed right the fuck in with their marble smooth brain to opine that actually crunch culture is useful to creatives and that there was no reason why corporate couldn’t have stopped them from writing the elves as a Jewish analogue which I guess is shorthand for “Being a DA fan these days means being in the trenches with people who understand the video games industry in an extremely topical manner just to get into arguments with people on tumblr dot com.”

[coolwyous]

I come w more arin and zuri thoughts bc who doesn’t love wuhluhwuh enemies to lovers, i also come with more josie and priya thoughts bc they’re kinda intermingled!

priya and josie being fell first and fell harder, like we all know priyas had a little crush for ages and she’s come to terms with her feelings. but josies just mid hockey match, just scored and turns and sees priya cheering for her in the stands, and her heart just drops and she’s like ‘fuck’ bc she wants this girl and doesn’t know what to do w that feeling, and then she’s an awkward stuttering mess around priya for a while after that and everyone either thinks she’s gone insane or is just smirking knowingly.

also i think w the increase in twin fights, they would start complaining to josie and arin about it, bc josies so kind and loving she can tell that priyas down and sad and she comforts her (best cuddles fr). but arins lowkey a bitch about it bc in stuco zuri gets a message and just huffs bc she’s that pissed and arin bc she’s an ass would be like ‘ooh who’s got your panties in a twist’ and it makes zuri very much want to smack a bitch and she just starts ranting about how annoying priya is (she’s not but they are siblings in hs) and arin was not expecting that and is so insensitive about it being like ‘oh annoying sibling i wonder what that’s like’ and zuri just deadpans ‘yes seungwook is wonderful isn’t he’

(also the last arin zuri thoughts were from me i just didn’t tag it bc i didn’t know u were taking anons)

-🇬🇧

winners love winning FORREALLLLLL!!! you are 100% allowed to keep my inbox FULL w next gen ditto thoughts bc if there's anything i'm gonna do it's RANT abt these little hockey bitches w passion zest and gusto fr!!!

i am OBSESSED w the idea of priya's crush being around for ages and josie just being some silly guy who never gave romance any mind. like josie has always been just so focused on hockey she never thought abt dating or anything, all the dittoverse kids started having their first crushes and josie was like "yeah ok whatever but have you seen my new stick ❤️‍🔥" truly just a headass lmao. i also feel like.... she's a goofy jock so she probably has her fair share of ppl being very openly attracted to her! very unassuming heartthrob type shit fr keeps claiming she's too busy to waste her time dating or w/e. priya just keeps being awkward and endearing and kind to josie as they get closer and josie just rambles as she usually does, opens up about her fears and her hopes and dreams and priya is always such a supportive listening ear. they spend all this time together and truly get so close, josie is the one who is like "you should come see me play! i know hockey isn't your thing but you'll get to see what i'm actually good at instead of thinking im just a moron" and priya doesn't miss a game after that <3 josie scores a shot mid-game and instead of looking to megan as she usually does, seeking out the approval of her dad-slash-coach, she sees priya in the stands smiling so big, cheering her on, giving her this huge thumbs up and josie just feels an absolute lightning strike moment hit. literally SLAMS her like a truck, holy shit i think i'm in love in the middle of her match and she wants to throw up!!! it makes her sick bc priya is so perfect in her eyes, so smart and nice and truly one of her best friends now and josie's never been in love before so this is all just so new and difficult for her. def is an awkward bumbling mess and priya is forever so nice to her even if she's acting weird ❤️ ugh i love my sweet precious dorks i LOVE that their storyline starts to echo megan x reader's storyline lowkey THAT'S SO CUTE UGHHH and then we have the hateship that is arin x zuri LMAO talk abt opposites <3 but no you're so right, josie is a sweetie and as soon as the twinfighting happens she's like "pri i know how bad it must hurt to fight 'cause you guys love each other so much, maybe we can just go see a movie to get you out of the house and give you guys some space? do you want a hug?" vs arin is just like "yeah i have no interest in hearing you complain about your sister" which ofc PISSES ZURI OFF LMAO but i feel like what makes arin and zuri so good is that they call each other out and they're both so intellectually up there that they challenge each other <3 arin quickly picking up on minute details in zuri's rants and being like "don't you think you're holding her to unrealistic expectations that you're not willing to hold yourself to?" and zuri doesn't want to hear it but she's lowkey forced to when arin points out all the ways zuri is being unfair....... zuri will NEVER admit it but it does help to hear it from arin's outside perspective. "i didn't look at it that way, and it's an incredibly stupid way to look at it, but it won't hurt to consider it....." she finally admits and arin is shaking her head like "you look like you're about to thank me— don't. i just wanted you to shut up about priya and focus on this deadline" and then zuri is throwing a stapler at arin's head and they're back to bickering (flirting) as they work on more student council things <333 my fav slowburn power couple

[ohwell-itsme-but-danganronpa]

Splitsies (saiou/ousai in-game AU)

Apollo: Okay I don't know how many of you watch Sanders' Sides but I came up with this idea last night and the chat in ⁠angst-corner has reminded me of it.

Annoyed at Kokichi's constant meddling, Monokuma straight up 'splits' him for a motive, leaving multiple versions of him, each representing a different part of him.

The idea is, either someone dies (this includes the Kokichis (kill one and all of them die)) or they find a way to put him back together (most likely by 'understanding him' which is gonna be hella hard).

The issue? All of them know what's going on so they're not trusting anyone easily. Kokichi's logic is fucking with them at the encouragement of his creativity because all of them are mad at everyone else but only a few 'splits' are willing to straight up mess with them all.

Shuichi doesn't know how to handle multiple Kokichis flirting with him

Sayakxmi: Hypercompetent Kokichi just nopes out & does his investigations. He doesn't give a damn. He has a goal. He is busy One of the Kokichi's is Kind Kokichi & nobody knows how to handle him when he's so open about caring Mhmm, maybe Kind Kokichi is difficult to find. He just stays back, supporting everybody from the shadows. it takes them some time to realize somebody's there

Apollo:

Kaito: Sooo uhhh

Kokichi #who knows: Oh! I'm Kokichi's empathy!

Maki: Why don't you show so much?

Empathy: Because we're in a killing game and it's dangerous to get too close to people?

Maki: Ah…Makes sense Angie makes them all fancy name tags

Sayakxmi: Empathy's just doing ok for a bit, then suddenly he's crying & ppl freak out & he just keeps sobbing & starts describing in extreme detail how [insert a person who died] must have felt when they died, they must have been so scared, it must have hurt so much, I hate it here, I don't want anybody else to die ;_; They thought Empathy was lying or sth, but he just keeps crying when he sees random things that remind him about somebody dead? Piano? He's crying. There's a fish on his table? Crying. He's holding a damn book & he's, again, crying

Apollo:

Maki: Who are the two moping in the corner?

Logic: Ah…That's anxiety and depression.

Kaito: Kokichi has an-

Logic: Holy shit we're in a killing game full of people who hate us and can kill us at any moment. There's a crew waiting for their leader back home. Do you really believe that he's mentally sound? How much of an idiot can you be?

Sayakxmi: They're not ready to face Paranoia, but, to be fair, Paranoia isn't ready to face them, either …Paranoia ends up acting the most like the Kokichi they're used to Which makes at least a few of them, including Shuichi, go : O … : ( Shuichi makes a list of Kokcihi's Truths™️

Apollo: Yeah they're learning a lot even if the Kokichis™️ don't want them too I just thought of a mean idea:

Shuichi: Who's the flickering one?

Empathy, already tearing up: That's…Innocence. They've been fading more and more the longer Kokichi's been here. Innocence fades over time as you grow up but in a place like this? They fade quicker…

Sayakxmi: Logic is already questioning what happens if one of them fades. Do they all die? As much as he despises the bear, he needs answers

Apollo: Considering stuff changes over time, they probably wouldn't die (the motive would probably just count it as a 'natural' thing and thus it won't trigger it)

Sayakxmi: Logic: It was bound to happen eventually, anyway. Tenacity: If it doesn't kill us or anybody else it's irrelevant. Focus on what's important, and it's preventing the killings and ending the killing game for good. Empathy: cries I don't want to lose it… Tenacity: Nothing. Else. Matters. Tenacity is probably pretty terrifying… but also pretty darn respectable Shuichi feels like a fraud when he sees how much Tenacity is doing all the time. He's restless, he keeps investigating over and over again, observes everything, notes everything. Shuichi's supposed to be the Ultimate Detective, but he isn't exactly doing much, is he? Mhmm, and he ends up very unexpectedly comforted by Empathy (who has the softest, loveliest smile he'd ever seen)

Apollo: Tenacity just has a one track mind. Who cares that he's stealing Shuichi's job? He wants out and if it comes down to him investigating until he's exhausted, so be it. Thanks the split motive, people start to see just why Kokichi's been called the ultimate supreme leader

Sayakxmi: Tenacity has duty to the people he's stuck with, whether they want it or not, and whether anybody likes it. They're his, so he can't just sit and do nothing when they're in danger

Kenny: does anyone else get split?

Apollo: maybe eventually. I can feel Monokuma doing it to Kaito or Shuichi because they're both big 'helpers' (Shuichi with his talent and Kaito being support or whatever)

Sayakxmi: Split Kaito would be funny but in a very bad way Bc he has a lot of traits that really suck & I think it'd be funny if everybody was forced to confront it, the later in the game the better

Kenny: Illness!Kaito is just perpetually dying 24/7

Sayakxmi: Tenacity starts working even harder, because they don't have that much time anymore, and Empathy is following Illness!Kaito like a shadow, trying to take care of him

Kai: is Deceit the leader of his sides? if dark and light sides exist as a concept within Kokichi i can't imagine Deceit would be a dark side like Janus is i feel like Deceit would have a stronger say in everything for Kokichi, like he's much more respected by the other sides than brushed off and shooed away Deceit and Logic

Apollo: I can see Deceit and Logic butting heads a lot. Janus and Logan sorta butt heads but they seem to have a mutual understanding/semi respect for each other. Logic knows that Deceit is needed in some cases but bro's out here pulling the most ridiculous unneeded lies and that's getting on Logic's nerves to the point he's ready to throw away the composed appearance he has and just tackle Deceit

Kenny: Logic: People wont trust your judgement if you constantly LIE to them about EVERYTHING Deceit: lol yeah but its for the bit Deceit: okokok but isn't it so cute how Shuichi gets when we lie about something outrageous and he believes us hook line and sinker? what a sucker!

Kai: Kokichi's deceit is bordering on also representing paranoia so he def has to be hit over with a 2x4 to prevent him from going i say that because i am of the firm beliefe Kokichi's lies are fueled by paranoia creativity is deceit's yes man

Kenny: I think Paranoia and Deceit would be separate. Even in Salmon mode, Kokichi is as ambiguous as ever and in Sander Sides Paranoia/Virgil has a different purpose than Deceit/Janus For Kokichi, lying is just a way of life, despite it all

Apollo: The pair are the closest to twins Kokichi probably has (unless he has two creativities)

Kai: Thomas' creativity twins are separate iirc because of Thomas' mindset of there being good and bad creativity and repressing the "bad" in shame till it got out of hand. i don't think Kokichi has that kind of issue his morality is too grey for him to be on about good and bad creativity actually that makes for an interesting dynamic between his deceit and anxiety, they'd be considered paranoia twins because they are two different but unusually intertwined concepts within his mindscape, like a reverse creativity twins. they're too similar for comfort as opposed to being deemed two different

Kenny: I like the idea of them being separate but intertwined--codependent and enabling both ways Kokichi lies about everything, all the time, for any reason--paranoia/anxiety whispers in his ear and just makes his habit barbed and defensive, but even in a normal, wholesome situation he's still a silly misdirection menace

Apollo: They're a package deal and no one really knows how to deal with that. Like what are they going to look? Look at them and say hey stop being the thing you are

Kai: what all facets does he have and what are they doing so far cause i saw empathy but something tells me unlike Thomas Empathy and Morality aren't one in the same for Kokichi actually i'm sure his Morality is a very interesting dude most certainly no Patton

Apollo: Yeah he doesn't have the dad friend built into him

Kai: Kokichi is a dad to his friends but not that kind he's a tough love dad to DICE

Kenny: Kokichi's morality? You mean utilitarianism??--//SHOT

Kai: my question is which facet holds the majority of his leadership smarts part of me wants to say morality given how much of his leadership actions (and rules about murder) are based on his morality Logic also makes sense

Apollo: it could always be the pair teaming up somehow? Like they just split it

Kai: ooo maybe, they're the brains of this gaggle of trauma and emotional constipation they're both so tired corralling these fuckos

Apollo: They need child leashes but alas, they just exist in a headspace and can't really do that

Kai: well when Monokuma splits them they can leash em

Kenny: lets split Shuichi next [pleading face emoji]

Kai: i'm not as sure how to split him up because i have such a different take on Shuichi than others do def not canon compliant Shuichi def feels like a logic and morality heavy person but in a very different way to Kokichi

Apollo: Shuich would be a fun yet hard split. Harder than Kokichi in a way considering we don't fully know Kokichi as much so we can sorta do whatever but Shuichi's the protag Okay but their logics and moralities arguing over who's got the better perspective, completely ignoring the fact that they're parts of completely DIFFERENT people

Kenny: I love Shuichi--I think he'd be quite an interesting character to dissect, quite literally in this sense

His complicated relationship with his talent would be especially fascinating to see split apart and personified. He's a good detective, first and foremost, but he doesn't want to be. He wants to trust his friends and buy into the love/friendship conquers all mindset, but he knows better, unfortunately. His pursuit of truth and the aftermath of such traumatized him enough to shy away from his talent and title, he puts things together that he doesn't want to be true. This helped solve two trials, but doomed two classmates in turn

My view of Shuichi was heavily colored by Dawn Again, but I love the idea that he can't help but solve these things. He might not operate as fast or as fervently as Kokichi does with his hyper intelligence, but he can keep up if given the chance.

I could see him being split between the handy capable detective he is/can be and the timid lad we meet at the start of the game who is afraid of utilizing his own assets. I'm of the opinion that Shuichi with his Trail 6 confidence is fairly unshakeable. Stubborn, but cool and collected too, enough to argue his point and die on that hill (//cries in chaprter 6)). I also think Shuichi is just as capable of being callous when hes grown tired of being polite but that's just my hc flavored in there ADFJKH JKA;S

I cant quite split the poor guy up into clean aspects, so take these garbled thoughts and do with them what you will--

I'd pitch that the purely "detective" parts of Shuichi are less friendly. Not outwardly hostile or asocial, but polite enough. By nature of his talent and experience, he's suspicious of others, not nearly as much as Kokichi is ofc, but enough to be wary and cautious. This is the side of Shuichi that listens to reason but also pisses people likke Kaito off by trying to entertain all possibilities, even if it means considering that a close friend is mayhaps a murderer.

Avoidant!Shuichi is friendly-ier but is timid for a reason. He wants to be helpful and believe in everyone and their intentions. Separated from the acutely calculating parts of his personality, he's a bit less on top of it. His problems arise through complacency and self-doubt. He's still intelligent but hes not confident enough to voice his deductions for fear he might be wrong (hes just an apprentice after all). This one will shy away from confrontation and fade to the background if he can I may have lost the plot there, but I think itd be interesting to have two Shuichi's that contrast one another, taken like snapshots from the beginning of the game to the end (with some flavor mixed in to keep it interesting) I think the two Shuichi's, in reflecting their contradictory parts, strongly dislike one another - but its Shuichi so that manifests in general discomfort/the slightest of passive agression

Apollo: oooo so he's split more into two while Kokichi's split into multiple? That's actually really interesting! Kokichi's fractures are more likely to fight but Shuichi's halves are more likely to just ice each other out

Kenny: As per chapter 4, Kokichi('s iterations?) favor Inquisitive!Shuichi while Kaito (and Co. prob) favor Avoidant!Shuichi.

Inquisitive!Shuichi can get along with the group, but he is more steadfast and blatant when it comes to his beliefs and opinions (thinking back to his Rebuttal Showdown with Keebs). He's more willing to shut other's arguments down if he thinks them wrong.

Avoidant!Shuichi is not a coward. Complacency is the word I imagine fits best because he is fine with going with whatever the plan is. He's moreso a bystander than anything else. He is helpful and kind but is reluctant to take the lead or make grand decisions without overthinking it seeking advisement from his friends. So a community type of guy, but not the most reliable on his own

me: It'd be fun if the class got to meet the Judgemental and the Defeatist Shuichis that he's been keeping tucked deep in his mind, then there's the puppy Shuichi I wouldn't exactly call co-dependence but his self-esteem is hanging onto every word and he becomes ouppy the moment someone's nice to him, and there's this idealistic/romantic Shuichi who gets all poetic but I don't think that it's his creativity, it's closer to being his hope (and his repressed wants) But ig in that less clean split the Inquisitive Shuichi would be more like, his curiosity, and some of the need to be useful and investigate would be relocated to Puppy or be puppy's twin, meanwhile his curiosity is free of it and wanders off like a cat

abyssal_sylph: i hope curio!Shu has a cat motif

me: They need to put a bell on him so he can't keep slinking away without joining them for meals

abyssal_sylph: i imagine a noir looking Shuichi only he has a bell-collar which clashes with his outfit

me: this might be controversial, but I think instead of separate Logic, Empathy and Morality like Kokichi who, well, has been compartmentalising, picking and choosing what he should act on, I think that's a lot more entangled in Shuichi's head, he usually used his logic to justify and support the other two, or simply found his morality to be logical, and perhaps he too had that "smart kid" issue of being emotional but living under the assumption that acting on emotions = stupid, therefore I must be acting on logic, because I'm smarter than that, and logicking away the emotions. So he gets 3 in 1 package of a guy, who says he's Logic. But he also happens to be the most empathetic of the Shuichis, and so he's the number 1 person worried about Curiosity, and fair, because honestly, curiosity without logic is a danger to himself and perhaps (if only accidentally) to others, he's not curious about mundane everyday stuff like his needs, he's curious about how the poisons taste and he has the antidotes there, so why not? He's putting. so many things in his mouth. except for food that he already knows. He is also observing without a concern for anything like taking breaks, not laying in places where he might trip up people, privacy, whether he's getting up on a high place he's very likely to fall from… So yeah, logic spends most of the time catsitting curiosity, even though he feels like he should be maybe doing more important things, but this is important too, if this guy gets himself killed all Shuichis will die, but maybe someone else should be on this duty… but he doesn't have it in him to ask, plus since he's burdened with the empathy, he would feel like shit abandoning him, curiosity brings up a lot of childhood memories for him, like with the bug hunting from anthology, he has that pure passion…

meanwhile someone like Puppy who the others might think is the nicest of them all, is actually pretty selfish, he just wants to be accepted and loved, even though he feels undeserving of it and keeps trying to earn it, he'll be good, but that's rooted in guilt for taking up space, and he'll just focus on people who make him feel better about himself, because he kinda feels bad all the time. He's suffering enough, so he earned the right not to further burden himself with other people's problems, right?

if someone asks where Defeatist Shuichi is, well, he's probably in bed, sighing sadly, but it might prompt another to say they wish Judgemental Shuichi did that too, to which he'll reply that it is a wonder how he manages to find the motivation to keep going when surrounded by so many idiots. I think he pisses everyone off with his commentary in record time, some are in denial about him being a part of Shuichi after that and most avoid him, he proceeds to join the sitting in a corner club with Anxious and Depressed Kokichis, the depressed one might have also told him to fuck off at some point, but didn't care enough to keep him out/ put effort into avoiding him, so he just usually rants to them, and he gravitated towards those two because they don't mingle with others either and he kind of still hates gossip somewhere in there despite being Shuichi's frustrations concentrated and needing to vent. Also, Judgemental Shuichi is the most honest one, I mean, obviously, he doesn't hold back anything. And then there's the Idealistic Shuichi probably writing poems about friendship and boobs.

generally, while Defeatist doesn't even try to connect with anyone, and Puppy sticks to the easy to get along with extroverts aka Kaito and Kaede, the other sides of Shuichi are more prone to seeking out Kokichi than the whole Shuichi did prior to this, Curious Shuichi is obviously fascinated, even though his focus is shifting between many things, Idealistic Shuichi loves all his friends, duh, Logic feels sympathetic because they're the only ones in similar situations, as far as he knows people never get split like that, and he's impressed with his intelligence; I guess both Logic and Judgemental would be picky with which sides of Kokichi they like to spend time with, but they have different tastes, and thank god, because they aren't fans of each other

Sayakxmi: Honestly I love the read of in-game Saiou as more antagonistic on Shu's side So Judgemental rather than finding Kokichi interesting finds him loathesome How could somebody enjoy being trapped in here, watching people die etc He'd piss of Tenacity for sure, but I'd love for Emapthy to get mad. Overall, love Emapthy crying a lot bc he feels a lot, but my take on them is that he's also extremely protective. He cares a lot about everybody (all Kokichis do, which is a terrifying realization others have at some point), and while he could take Judgemental taking jabs at him - all Kokichis know they arent liked & arent helping it either - that's where he draws the line. He's entire jig is being empathetic, do he empathizes with others for gravitating towards Shuichi and his reasonings as well as somebody like Kaito – they're scared, and they need guidance and reliability, and maybe some kind lie that everything is gonna be alright. But he also empathizes with Shuichi, bc he has to be the one to make tough choices and everybody relying on him is a heavy burden to bear. He must be feeling so alone and so scared that his one mistake could doom them all. It's not fair to him. Kokichi's always trying to help him subtly or distract him, but he knows it doesn't fix the problem Judgemental: doki Empathy: Everybody is always so mean to each other : ( Somebody: You're mean to us Empathy: I know, but I'm joking even if it's not funny, while you are just mean because you don't like somebody : ( Empathy: I don't even like being so mean, but you keep trying to escape the reality of our situation, deluding yourselves into thinking that this time nothing's gonna happen, when half the group is being abandoned, because you don't actually get along or appreciate the same things. If something you like can't unite you, then the best alternative is to have something or somebody you hate to unite against. If killing isn't enough, then somebody extremely mean and obnoxious will to do : ' ( Logic(K): sigh Well, now we have to switch to Plan R Tenacity: Congrats, Empathy. This is why we've been telling you to keep quiet since we got there. Empathy: Sorry : ( Tenacity: Tell that to the people who could die because you fucked up as always Everybody else: [man standing, woman standing and person standing emojis]

me: [replying to the message about judgemental finding Kokichi overall loathesome] huh? I didn't say that. I said that Shuichi hates parts of himself. and that different parts of Kokichi appeal more to different parts of Shuichi. I think Judgemental would be impressed with Tenacity, he doesn't have the issue of comparing himself to him too much, but he recognizes the good work and just. doesn't feel like bothering him, not like he could have a chill conversation with him anyway since he's so intense. He would call Empathy's crying annoying and headache inducing though. Basically, while Logic looks for fellow intellectuals to have interesting convos with and just, someone who will relate to him, and maybe pose a challenge, Judgemental is looking for someone who can both dish it out and take it, so that they can be brutally honest with each other and not get offended, so Depressed Ko becomes his favorite for the sole reason that he doesn't have it in himself to give a fuck now, I came here to talk about Curiosity and Paranoid Kokichi because that's a fun duo. and I have thoughts on them

so, I mentioned, people kinda view Curious Shu as a literal cat or a hyperactive child, everyone, except Paranoid Kokichi (and ok, I'm kinda reusing a thought I missed the window to drop in when the actual cat Shuichi was being talked about but) he's extremely suspicious of the critter, he's having death note-esque inner monologues about how he must be onto him and using the kitty act to make him lower his guard, but no chance, I will pretend to drop my guard and play along while keeping all my plans secret, and I won't actually get attached to him. Except, Curiosity is literally just studying him like a bug because he's an interesting critter, there's no master plan, just wants to get to know him, maybe put him in a few situations. And from the beginning what I had in mind when talking about his perceived childishness was that he has uber autism and he simply has a method for everything and satisfying his curiosity is his priority, he doesn't get why you'd expect him to care about things he isn't curious about, or how social conventions are supposed to be necessary, and it feels like he'll explode if he doesn't pursue his curiosity, but he only does reckless things when he believes that he knows how to do them safely, like how he had the antidotes, and he assumes he'll be attentive enough not to fall down, but he gets too much into his observations, it's stuff like that

also, their respective Logic guys watching over them: L!Shu: should we separate them? L!Ko: nah, it's good enrichment L!Shu: Are you sure? Paranoid looks like he might faint any moment… L!Ko: They're having fun, trust me, we should schedule play dates more often P!Ko: gets attached to this black cat of a man anyway

Anon Advice Asks - June 18

roblox anon (new), ghosted anon (new), catholic guilt anon, midnights anon, scream anon (new)

roblox anon

I don’t really have anyone else to confide in regarding to this matter (bc it sounds so stupid) so I guess I’m saying it here.

Just over an hour ago my best friend sends me a screenshot. The screenshot is dark but if you look at it you can see it’s a Roblox game and a character (that looks like mine but missing the face and hair and shirt) is stood in front of a donation booth for ppl to donate game currency and the booth has my username on it but I don’t play very much and definitely haven’t played any donation games.

The conversation goes:

Me:the flip

Me:why does that have my user in it

Me:have you fucking hacked me

Best friend: yes

Me: nah like actually explain

Me:freaked out man

Me: best friends first name

Me: her middle name

Me: her last name.

Best friend:yes

Me: That’s fucking creepy man actually fucking explain

Me: best friends full name you answer my call right now

*facetimes several times with no answer*

Best friend:Bro calm down

Me: Nah I don’t like it when u take ages to answer

Me: Anyways now I’ve got ur attention let’s have an explanation please

Best friend:I think someone hacked u

Me (through several texts):why. Did u see that pic in a game? I logged out on everything but my phone with the button in settings. What game was that. And when. Best friends full names name?

She takes a long time between answers and it’s been 21 minutes since her last response and it creeps me out bc I’m autistic and very anxious so I keep feeling like I’m on the verge of a panic attack even though this is so stupid.

Yeahhhhhh I wouldn't like that either. Like I get she's trying to be silly or whatever but that's just annoying. Obviously you're distressed and she's being frustrating on purpose. Did you ever find out if she was the one who hacked you? If she was, that's not cool. If not, then I would just be like "hey...if something like that happens again, please just give me the info, it makes me anxious when you text like that." You're allowed to set boundaries and being messed with like that can be funny to some but frustrating to others. It's annoying to you and that's okay!

I need an update though, please lmk what happened!

ghosted anon

just found out a person I was talking to many months ago has a boyfriend and I’m happy that they’re happy but also pissed off because I got ghosteddddddddddd. Ignored on another level. He pretended I didn’t exist. Saw me in the street? Zero recognition

So they don’t deserve it but they do because we weren’t for each other on that level but still. I want to punch him?

anyway my heart got sad for a second

I’m over it now

Yeah I think it's natural to have mixed feelings about that! This person hurt you, it makes sense that you don't feel happy that they're happy. But it also sounds like you realize that things probably worked out for the best, which is good. They don't sounds like they respect you and you deserve better than that <3

outlet anon

Hey Cas, Outlet anon here.

I'm freaking out a teensy little bit and my service dog (I'm gonna start calling him XO because saying "my service dog" every time I mention him is getting old) has been on my ass all day about it, like he literally hasn't left me alone and I'm dying because my anxiety isn't THAT bad, right? But I'm leaving for the airport in almost exactly two hours and I just sat down for the first time in eight hours and I still have a couple things to do, but I should be able to do them from bed, so I'm okay.

But aaaaaaaaaaaaaa fuck I'm leaving in two hours holy shit. It still doesn't feel real for some reason? Like the fact that I'm leaving STILL hasn't registered, and I've been planning this trip for almost two years.

I hate that I can't bring XO, but I'll only be gone for two weeks and my mother is able to take care of him, so he'll be okay (I will too, don't worry. I'm not going alone, and I survived for years without XO). It's going to suck, but the rest of the experience will make up for it.

I probably won't send in another ask until I get back, but when I do, I'll tell you about how it goes :)

Sending love <3

Hi!

Listen, travel is STRESSFUL and animals can sense when we're leaving so I'm sure XO was just looking out for you <3

I hope your flight went safely and YES please lmk how everything went when you get back! Sending both you and your service dog love!

catholic guilt anon (I think that's what you meant?)

Hey, catholic guitar anon here. It’s been awhile hasn’t it?

I know you’re not like a preacher or anything but I don’t have another person to go to?

I’ve felt so disconnected from my religion, and life in general, and every so often I’ll get an intrusive thought of “wouldn’t you be so much freer if you forgot about your religion” and it scares me. I don’t celebrate/experience my religion like most people who share my beliefs do, and when I try to read the Bible I feel all confused when I see things that confuse or contrast with each other. I know that I just have to keep learning and researching about my religion to understand it better, but it’s all so scary.

Usually people feel small and the issue feels so big and scary

But I feel too big mentally and spiritually and that disconnect between how big and important (I’m not sure if that’s the right word) I feel, and how small that my religion feels is scary.

I know that almost every other queer person has gone through the “catholic to queer” pipeline, as in they’re mutually exclusive

But I’m not experiencing that. It’s just that I feel so weird and big and uncomfortable and unnatural in my mind and I just want to know how to feel safe in God and feel more connected

Hi! <3

I'm gonna be so honest, I'm not super religious so I'm going to try my best to help but idk how much my advice will help...

I think there's two things I would try: could you try to find some people who also share your religion and views and talk with them about it? Like maybe if there's a bible study group online or irl? An online chat group or something? It's pride this month and a lot of times at pride, there are religious groups that march in the parades FOR queer people, maybe you could see if any of those show up at your local pride, if there is one?

The other thing that's more personal to me and doesn't necessarily coincide with any religion is like...finding a higher power in the world. in the beauty of yourself, in nature, in the things around you. Like sometimes for me, going to the beach in winter, seeing the power of the waves...I don't know if I believe in God per se, but seeing that makes me think there's some sort of higher power out there. If you're feeling disconnected from God, could you go for a walk at a place that feels safe to you and look for reminders that God is out there?

Like I said, I'm not sure how helpful this is because I'm not familiar with your struggle but please know I'm sending you love <3

midnights anon

Hello, it’s midnights anon!

Thank you, again, for listening to me ramble and be melodramatic,

And for the scar thing. I feel like it sounded silly but I really needed to get it off my chest

I did indeed go to my friend’s swimming competition thing! She was SO GOOD!! Also, the movie thing was something different that I was doing and also ended up going to (I got to watch my dad react to Mean Girls and it was hilarious. Especially the bus scene)

But besides that and New York

Ever since the summer started, I’ve been struggling a little bit with existing? I felt so wiped out from the school year that I’ve not been doing hobbies or working out as much, but I know putting pressure on myself like this can make things worse, but then I feel guilty for doing nothing, but then doing things feels hard, but then I end up doing nothing and feel even more guilty,

And it feels especially bad because I put so much pressure on myself to do so much over the summer and “fix myself” even though that’s not really a thing since it implies one’s existence can be incorrect

I just feel like I can never just, get the ill feeling out of me? I’m not sure what to call it but I can never sit still or rest or relax. Even if it’s with media I enjoy/like. I chalked it up to a low attention span but maybe I’m wrong?

Also my life feels super boring? I mean, I don’t want it to feel boring. I always have hobbies to do, or choose to not do, but I think it’s because I’m a bit lonely? Hobbies are great but I think friendships that i genuinely feel like me in would be a lot better. I feel like what I’m doing isn’t boring in itself. Having (although fairly limited) freedom to enjoy oneself is not boring, but I think the absence of relationships that I choose to be myself in and engage in can make things feel dull.

I did read part of a book today though! I felt super good about it, and I’m trying not to let myself turn it into something to feel guilty about

Also on Wednesday I’m doing that writers thing at the library, where I just hang out with other people who have their own stories and work on mine while they work on theirs. It’s just an hour of uninterrupted writing time! Hopefully I’ll make friends there? Also, how does one make friends? I know I should be willing to talk to others, comment on things (like how cool their outfit or hair is, etc.) and wear things that show my interests (like my Fender tshirt) but is there something I’m missing?

Also also I realized something kind of weird but nice at the same time. I have a pretty good memory when it comes to other people, like, they’ll tell me something about themselves and I’ll remember it for months even if it was something random, but a VERY bad memory when it comes to myself. My memories are specific and detailed, but I don’t have many because it was either during a very rough period of my life, or I was too young to remember, or I was trying not to let my mental struggles show so I couldn’t really take in much information. (That was the weird part) but because of that, my favorite thing that people do for me is tell me about a memory they have of me, since I probably don’t remember it. I’m pretty sure that I don’t really matter/occupy space in people’s minds unless I’m actively talking to them, so hearing that they occasionally think of me when I’m not around is a nice thought

Thank you for listening to me ramble and stuff! I hope your day is going well!

Hi! I'm so glad the movies and the swimming competition went well!

Remember, spending time relaxing, doing your hobbies, resting...those things ARE part of working on yourself. If you don't do those things, you're going to become even more stressed and burned out. I know sometimes it feels counterproductive, but you HAVE to take care of yourself <3

For making friends (especially at a writer's event), I think asking people questions and actually listening to their answers is helpful! Ask people what they're writing, then ask thoughtful questions about what they tell you (even if it sounds boring). Idk about you, but when people show an interest in my interest, I LOVE it.

For your memory- yeah, having a shit memory when you've gone through shit earlier in life is really common. That makes sense <3 I agree, it's nice to know that you matter and people are thinking of you!

scream anon

how to not scream and out myself as a non binary demisexual, bisexual person with a preference for women when they are constantly trying to play matchmaker and ship me with my literal cousin guy (I'll be freshly 18 in a month while he is 21 years old) 🥲🥲🤞

Um well....first of all, I'd tell them that you're not interested in anyone with a blood relation to you because what the fuck?

And second, would they take "I don't want to date right now" as an answer? Remember, you don't owe coming out to anyone, and 'no' can be a complete sentence <3

The canucks game was ELECTRIC

GAME 3 OF THE CALDER CUP FINALS - GAME NOTES AND PERSONAL NOTES

more photos at the end

Game notes:

-overall Abby was way better in the third, but some stuff did make me nervous in the first 2 periods

-Linus karlsson is another level... Except for taking a few extra hits and looking a bit scrawny out there, hes a really good player with the puck.

-the teamwork from abbotsford was notable and really admirable in some moments, but for the most part some pucks seemed to go loose or our clearings weren't working at all sometimes

-our face offs didn't look good

-the crowd started chanting leonard 💀 and "you suck" to the refs

-intermissions were actually decently entertaining for the most part

-the players looked so cool in person, and the arena was a perfect size

-refs had trouble dropping the puck in the third, ppl got impatient and started yelling, then the same ppl were mad that players were ejected for fucking around in the face off?? (Just ppl behind me)

-Silovs is such a LITTLE bug awwww (he literally hits ppl)

-Abby was the more physical team

-I genuinely think we can win this series. Even tho Charlotte is a good team, its a fair matchup, and we have home ice twice more

-no real fights broke out but there were some big scuffles. Not bad

-such a fun game to watch live overall, just goal after goal in the third

-pretty tense at the start

-stars were Arty, Linus, and Arsh.

-Arty had an assist!

-Bains was skating innocently to the puck on the boards and fell forward, people thought the checkers player right behind interfered/tripped/pushed him, and the crowd started yelling with outrage. But then the puck got to Karly (if I remembered right) and he scored!

-When walking out of the arena, Arshdeep's dad was right in front of me. It was crazy! So cool!!

Personal notes:

-I didn't get up from my row the whole game

-my dad missed second period for a meeting

-there was a wave that lasted at least 5 all a rounds and 2 plays

-holy shit fans can be annoying... Esp the negative ones yelling in your ear from behind you

-the hits are just so so SO much better to see in person

-guy who was next to me, dont bring your small daughter if she doesn't like hockey. The babysitter can be cheaper than the tickets.

-it got pretty loud during the third period

-we got there right at puck drop and it was literally a magical experience

-THE TOWELS ARE SO FREAKING COOL!

-a lot more laid back atmosphere than I thought, I feel like we weren't giving the CANUCKS enough energy in the first 2 periods

-ppl complain abt refs a lot huh

I should've taken photos of our stars!

perhaps headcanons on pony receiving his first B on an english assignment and freaking tf out (totally not based on any real life experience here... nope)

anon pls,,,give urself some room to breath and make mistakes, we r only human, ur gonna kill urself before u get to the future u aspire,,,

•look ponys seen as this beacon of hope and most of that is due to his academic success, ik hes felt some pressure from that, especially after everything that happened

•it started when he was pretty young, darry was pretty good academically and was pretty popular, but this mostly around the time where he skipped those grades, especially bc he was a greaser twas a big deal!!!

•so yea, VERY academically stressed guy, so when he got that b, u just KNOOOWWWW how upset he was, but it dies depend on the severity, if its classwork hes annoyed but whatever, test or projects??? just kill him

•theres not many ppl he could rlly go to about this too, so he just annoyedly thinks about it for a while, he dont even got a backpack or nun, just folds n stuffs that thing in his pocket

•he could NOTTTT b comforted w a “at least u still passed” cause thats not the grade he WANTED, what dont u understand, hes not ungrateful, hes upset n disappointed</33 plus its not even a b PLUS, just b</3

•hes the kinda guy to start blaming externam reasons on y he “didnt pass”, like “darry told me to turn off my light and go to sleep while i was 3 hours i to studying grrrr this is his fault” and thats EXACTLY what he did here

•he looks at the paper for a bit hoping that the teacher just fucked up one of the answers, jumps for JOY when he finds even one, he aint find one here but maybe some day💔💔

•god forbid steve scored higher than him, cause if he rubs it in, ponys going to lose it even more, hes already a tad snappy

•only one who rlly has a clue on how he feels is soda, johnny, and curly, but i dont think theyd 100% understand where hes coming from, like they understand his fear, but they dont get that just saying take it easy wont work (partially bc he just wont allow himself to calm down but shhhh)

•i dont think he’ll get 100% bogged down, hes still FUNCTIONING, a lil sluggish but he’ll work around it, especially bc he doesnt rlly go to the gang for academic help, minus darry but he aint in it🙄🙄

•he would show darry and darry has like 2 reactions “next time do a lil better, kiddo” or “nice job” w a smile, and both if those reactions make upset, bc 1) holy fuck dude shut up ik i have to do better 2)????this is absolutely NOT a good grade, do u see this

•then SODA heard about it, and he would normally grin and tell him great job and that makes pony feel a lil bit better!! sodas grin could cheer anyone up

•i wouldnt say he’d get over it, but hes just like “ok fine, ill just fix this when i get the chance to next time i get this assignment”

•if he was to actually talk to like johnny or curly, he would rant about y he thought the answer was right, and they just grin at him too, him being riled up is funny to em a lil, its like a chihuahua barking or something

[jackgirlboy]

🔥 jack

oh my godddd I have so many unpopular opinions where do I even start….HOLY DISCLAIMER BATMAN!

anyways so in no particular order or tier system:

✯ i don’t think jack would wear anything feminine im sorry spn fandom. for lolz he has same-outfit-pattern-everyday autism and for serious it’s like. Really weird how fandoms tend to HC/portray non-binary amabs (and men/transmascs in general) almost exclusively as GNC or fem-presenting…like DGMW that is a real and valid form of self expression but it’s not the Only type of non-binary expression that exists. and honestly…**dare I say that most fandom/queer spaces just need to realize that queer masculinity exists and it doesn’t always have to be a matter of breaking gender norms??

** genuinely do whatever u want idc I can’t stop you i don’t want to stop you yada yada. paint his nails and put him in a skirt all u want but Please recognize patterns yall 😭

✯ more headcanon complaints (see disclaimer above ⇧) but I promise to switch it up soon. anyways every time somebody on this lil website says something along the lines of “Jack can’t handle/doesn’t like [insert violence, scary or adult-oriented thing], he prefers [soft or blatantly childlike things]” I shrivel inward like a dead spider. It’s annoying, it’s completely inaccurate to his canon personality and interests, it’s annoying ˣ2, and whether ppl wanna admit it or not—it stems from infantilization. not necessarily ableism, as infantilization is not exclusive to disabled people, but still just about the same thing.

honestly all I see of majority jack headcanons are ones that set him back to just being a child or otherwise being treated like one. for example, the one about him being able to shapeshift is pretty cool...until it just becomes about him deciding to age regress, yknow, to an age set he canonically chose not to go through, showed no desire to be in, and is more offended than anything to be considered as such. all of his interests have to be some shit like bluey or animal crossing, and he drinks apple juice from a sippy cup instead of beer. BARF.

I’ve lessened on my keyboard warring over babyjack in the past year but I have not lessened in being a hater. and I’ve said this before, but the baby-jack au already breached headcanon containment a long time ago when it’s not only so widespread that ppl take it for canon and it makes having any intelligent conversation about him nearly fucking Impossible, but it also lead to harassment and accusations of being a fucking predator, to anyone who dared find a whole grown man attractive. any potential jack ship, like jackharper? automatic grooming case to them. it’s like the fandom is just so dead set on this idea that jack really truly is a child in every aspect you can think of, and for what? if it’s just a headcanon, something you know is not part of the actual show, then don’t go Travis the Chimp levels of apeshit when you see him being treated like he is canonically 💀

unpopular opinion numero 3 which is slightly connected to 2:

✯ baby-jack and a handful of the domestic au’s are BORING (see disclaimer again ⇧), not just on a surface level to my suiting, but also because I feel like it just ..misses the point of the show?

the ragtag untraditional found family is now as nuclear and traditional as the Atomic Age. Dean and Cas are the most heteronormative “who wears the pants in the relationship” gay couple ever, Sam is demoted to the uncle that gets written out of his own family, Jack is just there to make his gay dads look cute and emphasize that they’re a gay family (while still being very heteronormative), and at least 5 of them could be found in a California gated community. everything that made any of them unique or defined their personalities is just scrubbed off, even for an AU.

so much of the later seasons focus on Sam and Dean realizing that they don’t have to make a hard splitting decision between the lives they want to live; that they can find a balance; be happy and have good things—namely families—without giving up hunting (and vice versa, that they can have hunting without giving up on family or happiness). everybody loves the gay hunters from S10(?12?) and what they represented for Dean, but I almost never see that be put into practice in the fandom.

THEY’RE ALREADY DOMESTIC!!! AND WITH THAT PERFECT BALANCE!!!! Season 13 quite literally gave Team Free Will a surrogate son to raise and established them as a family; highly untraditional, largely dysfunctional, overall not fitting of a family family, and yet they are a family still. Dean wears an apron and cooks and bakes for everyone; he built himself a man cave and established two separate family night events that they all ritually keep up; Sam has a morning jogging routine and visits his girlfriend every so often; Jack was taught how to drive, has normal chores like washing dishes, and gets groceries. And they didn’t just have that while fighting monsters—they had that while fighting a whole fucking archangel. Even if it did go down the gutter by the end, they still had it: domestic familial bliss and violent messy hunting without having to trade one for the other.

✯ I truly genuinely think Jack’s relationship with Dean is the best, most interesting and most misunderstood out of the three, and I also think that the problems with his relationship to Cas and Sam are hugely overlooked by the fandom—granted they are very small, especially if you’re comparing it to Dean, but they’re still there and I think we should bully Cas and Sam about it more. I shan’t elaborate because it’s 5AM and this was an impulsive add-on ❤️

✯ getting normal now…his plaid pattern jacket from the first half of Ouroboros is ugly as SHIT i have never liked it and don’t think I ever will. but I cannot deny it; he got that shit on.

✯ most unpopular opinion of all, I wanna do insane shit to his cervix 🙌

[dangoarts]

hmmm yeah i'm gonna yap about the outer wilds progression bc holy hell how was that game so well organized

yapping under cut because DO NOT look if you haven't played and you want to bc the whole POINT is not to know how to finish and this is my whole playthrough basically

ok so like. this is mainly gonna be a reflection on my playthrough but like i can definitely see why ppl say do not look up anything and do not look up how to finish the game because it's literally two steps. you just go to ash twin, get warped into the project, yoink its core, then toss it into dark bramble ez pz (yeah u probby need the coords from giant's deep first but whatever). but i didn't find that immediately. it was one of my last things i found because it's SUPPOSED to be.

the first thing they suggest you do is go to attlerock and that's where you get your first big nomai hint basically. i went to brittle hollow afterwards and obsessively poked around there, and you're DOOMED to fall into the black hole at one point. that puts you at the white hole station though where you learn about how the nomai made teleporters, and then you go "oh! i wonder where else these teleporters are!"

back in brittle hollow, i found the quantum grove and started poking around there. i went and found all the rocks afterwards, which led me to ember twin. it took me a while to get to the sunless city where i learned about the three escape pods from the vessel stuck in dark bramble. me being clueless i didn't realize you could go into dark bramble yet until i got stuck after sunless city and started poking around timber hearth. found out about the ash twin project there and then the dark bramble seed which! huh! you can shoot your scout in there and there's a shit ton more! I Wonder If I Can Go Into Dark Bramble.

The Fish.

said haha fuck that for a while and went back to ember twinning which is where you find the high energy lab and more hints about the ash twin project. then you look up at dumb annoying sand dump planet above ember and realize hey maybe that dumb annoying sand hourglass planet that stops me from poking around the sunless city isn't dumb and annoying what's these things around the equator.

get distracted with the comet. Oh That's The Harbinger of Death.

more teleporters! poke around there, get mad i can't get into the sun station one, then get distracted with giant's deep. all of a sudden whoa remember that quantum stuff? yeah there's a big trial about it at the north pole in that fuckoff big tornado that says hey if you take pictures of the shit they'll stay there. think "hey maybe that weird grey thing i see sometimes that's probably the quantum moon the nomai on brittle hollow was talking about" and go try and pin it down and whoa hey taking a picture of it actually worked!

The Tower.

apparently i missed something on ember twin about quantum entanglement but i figured it out with the whole lights mechanic Woah What The Fuck That's A Nomai. anyway the 6th location is the eye I Have To Get Here But How oh right ash twin is a teleportation hub wow look at this conveniently placed twin towers. Surely This Will- yep it does. but i don't want to take the core bc that's permadeath what if it nukes my save file.

What Do You Mean they were going to nuke the sun.

fuck around some more in brittle hollow now that i'm not paralyzed with fear from the black hole and finally get into the observatory and the tower of quantum knowledge. finally get to the core of giant's deep and wow look coords to the eye! But Hey Remember The Vessel go to the fish. the fish are idiots trust.

get hit with the saddest plot point ever :[

anyway wow look a convenient place to put the ash twin core in the vessel. the end! What Is Happening.

but like looping back to the original point of don't look up spoilers the ending is not at all impactful if you just end the game immediately. i was so happy that i got to gather up all my friends including solanum at the very end and if you just skip the whole game you miss the whole point there! they are your Friends! you get to watch the heat death of the universe with your friends! and even if the quantum mission is very much a side mission that you could theoretically ignore this game plays So Much on your curiosity that eventually you will find every other plot point before the end of the game (most of them anyway i'm p sure i missed some). it's just so interesting how "illusion of choice" this game feels to me bc like it feels like i'm going off the pat but in reality this is the path. n that's just really interesting to me. all the "side quests" are equal in importance.

ok that's my yap session

[sickofthistoxicshit]

Here's the thing, I have nothing against Lou/Tommy, but the accessive enthusiasm of him returning and everyone already talking about him showing up for next season,

Which if any of you watched for the last 7 seasons, it is very possible because writers love to drag temps over to the next seasons because apparently breakups are for season beginners, mostly (except for taylor),

is very off-putting.

1. Because the dude literally just showed up and they haven't even had one worthy make out session to even call it a situationship.

2. Buck hurt Eddie physically to get into Tommy's mouth and pants, which ruined it for me from the start tbh and Tommy had nothing to do with it, he was just there.

3. Buck has made Maddie's day, his coming out party - that is a big NO in my book. Because one, dude you literally came out, what if you decide eventually that you don't want this or don't want this with this specific first-guy-ever anymore? And two SHE IS YOUR SISTER THE LEAST YOU CAN DO IS HAVE HER LEAVE ON HER HONEYMOON BEFORE YOU KILL YOUR PARENTS OF A HEART- ATTACK.

Even if they "seem accepting" to Buck’s face, this takes time to process, something better revealed in time and in private, once one is sure. Not thinking and talking about this the whole wedding!

And yes, I know, Buck is impulsive, but think for a second, would you want your baby brother to hijacke your wedding after so long of planning it? I know I would have killed him.

Would have told him in advance that if he's bringing his new boyfriend to my wedding, he better tell our parents first. Because this is my fucking day!

I love Buck, but his self-centered personality rubs me the wrong way this season.

Maybe because I wanted to see him growing the fuck up after 7 years and so many traumas and experiences and therapy that he went through, but nope, same old Buck, only instead of the dating the girl who gave him attention, he's seeing the guy who gave him attention.

It's annoying, it's off putting and frankly I am so mad at the writers and Tim for this because these characters deserved better.

And don't talk to me about representation because Shonda did the bi representation in Station 19 perfectly to the point that I was bummed that Travis and Eli didn't end up as endgame even though I loved Emmett with Travis.

Again somehow the 911 writers managed to taint for me what should have been and amazing experience, independent completely of buddie, but no they managed to not only mix Eddie and Buck with Tommy, the whole thing came at the expense of Eddie, physically and mentally, because not only did Buck not apologized to Eddie, Eddie also lost his new friend who now fawns over Buck.

So screw this storyline, I hate it and I hate how everyone is OK with everything that happened in the story, just because Buck is doing a dude(kissing really, there was no doing yet).

There's a lot of blocking in my future, most are just ppl who either came in now because of bi Buck or those who came from other disappointing fandoms and are just here for the rep not the actual story.

But some of us have been here since S1, we want the rep, but we want it to be complimenting, we want to fall in love with the character before it turns into a LI, we want the emotion, the connection, the obvious love building over several years.

Like Casey and Gabby and Severide and Stella, like Maya and Carina, like Travis and Emmett (even though I liked Eli better for him) like Sullivan and Natasha.

I want an emotional payout, give up the surprises, and the wrecked trucks and ships, just tell a good story!

And for the love of all that's holy, enough with the last-minute changes, those never turn out well in the long run. They literally started from scratch when they made the switch between Eddie and Buck.

Also in my opinion, Eddie had a LOT more chemistry with Lou/Tommy than Buck. It would have made so much more sense, in the catholic guilt and internal homophobia department, the nun and supposedly commitment issues was weak at best.

It could have been epic. 😩

And yes, Buck could have started the season single, no harm in that, maybe make him, I don't know, actually growing into something that he would like without someone else to pet his ego? Go back to therapy, work for the LT. exams, be interim captain, realize his worth and learn to love himself for him, not because someone else gave him attention and that made him preen, get him somewhere worthy. Even lessons with Tommy without involving Eddie in this would have been great.

Just something that shows character development, because up until now all I get is S2/S3 Buck and I've seen that movie before, I want my money back.

I realize this is harsh, and normally, I would stick to the light and fun and ignore the rest, but this had to be said out loud so I can go back to that.

That being said, as I said, I will watch Madney wedding purely for Madney. Anything else is just a bonus. I can't wait for that bachelor party and see wth happens to Chimney.

Happy Monday, my loves. ❤️
