i need daniel to be overcompensating for his insecurities so bad. 100 times more cocky and rude and aggressive and insensitive than he was as a human, falling back into old dangerous habits and vices, not just because now he has new energy and power and wealth to flaunt but because it's ALL he has, and he needs to cling onto it. play it up and revel in it so no one sees that underneath, he feels like a botched fledgling in the body of a sick, faded old man who maybe has no real idea why he was even made. that armand might think he failed in making him. that his maker didn't even really want him.

#i think vampirism isnt inherently torturous to him in any sort of moral way#but more in an inner self worth/image way#louis felt he was failing because he rejected/didn't enjoy human blood and death#i can see daniel being fine with killing but being insecure about the way he turned out/the way he is now#and his complicated connection with armand and what it all means for him. why he cares what he thinks or feels when he doesnt want to#but he does. and he has all these questions he needs him to answer#this sort of thing would be a way to connect him to louis further and also lestat now#louis who felt like a “botched vampire” for a long time and lestat who was immediately abandoned by his maker#and how lestat coped with what had been done to him by trying to fully embrace what he'd been turned into#anyway the bottom line is i think he should suffer and struggle with vampirism just as much as everyone else has in his own way#but he still has to be a massive insufferable asshole about it. and maybe get smacked around a bit because of it#iwtv#daniel molloy

choose your fighter: Lance "gift giving is my love language because I constantly feel indebted to people for putting up with me" McClain or Keith "I need to do acts of service to prove that I'm good and useful and worthy of keeping" Kogane.
#BONUS: Pidge Holt#I love doing acts of service for others because my most useful asset is my brain#so anyone who wants me around must want me for my intelligence#Im aware that insecurities and trauma arent the only things contributing to love languages yes. Thhere is also the bigger aspect of love#but I did want to play on how they could connect#It felt weird putting just Pidge in this post w keith and lance soo she goes in the tags#couldnt think of any for shiro hunk and allura since the first one kept trying to get killed off and the latter two hardly have characters#klance#keith kogane#lance mcclain#vld#voltron legendary defenders#voltron#voltron legendary defender#klance hc#voltron headcanon#vld hc#vld headcanon

hey, turns out if your approach people w/ genuine kindness and interest, most of the time, that's the energy ur gonna get back! :3
#🌧 raindrops#THIS IS NOT A SUBPOST LMFAO just at thought i had bc in ye olden days when i was a wee problematic youngster with interweb access#i used to be so caught up with comparing myself to others -- like on LIVEJOURNAL and TWIT TER (eugh) in old old fandoms#where i had cultivated relationships based on some misguided sense of necessity or like#“if i make friends with this person i'll be liked/accepted into the community” but the trouble is#you can only “fake” ur interest for so long before it starts to become pretty apparent that ur only making friends for the#“social ladder climbing” aspect of it and not bc u actually think someone is cool or u enjoy part of their craft#and if ur “friendships” are based on that you'll never actually meaningfully connect with ppl in a way that satisfying (imo) so it breeds#insecurity and anger and sadness#all that to say is im very grateful for the community that we've built here#and that its so lovely to see ppl who are actually engaged and interested#and i know ppl go thru hard times and delete and stuff but just know that i appreciate all of u so so much!!!!#and this blog has been a wonderful sanctuary for me and hopefully it has brought u some joy or laughter hehe <3

Menstrual tracking.
Bathroom obsessions.
Preoccupation with students' genitals.
Single-mother shaming.
Letting abusers have access to guns.
Anti-feminism rhetoric.
Venerating a lifelong rapist, adulterer, and molester of children.
Performative sex-trafficking stances.
Defending AR-15s when children are massacred.
Allowing the church to rape/molest children.
Indifference to police indictments for raping/molesting women and children.
This is not a one-issue type of hate/abuse/distrust/disrespect for women/mothers/kids.
There are so many connected and coordinated aspects to pro-birth natalists.
And none of those issues are about nurturing, caring, feeding, housing, insuring, or providing stability for people with children.

the funniest thing about the bad kids meeting ayda is she took one look at the right side of the table and didn't give a shit about any of them and then became absolutely obsessed with every single person on the left side of the table
#ayda first days of knowing adaine gains her first friend and genuine connection of love and comradery and understanding#ayda first days of knowing gorgug holds his head in her hands and delivers a monologue of how much she admires him and his rippling brain#ayda first days of knowing fig kindles a first love heals inners insecurities and creates a genuine bond thats never been replicated#ayda a year into knowing kristen fabian and riz: who tf are you guys again?#dimension 20#d20#fantasy high#ayda aguefort#fhsy#adaine abernant#fig faeth#gorgug thistlespring#figayda#brennan lee mulligan#fabian seacaster#riz gukgak#kristen applebees

my post-chapter 4 thoughts on Kris and how they might feel about the player (based on my own run specifically)
#deltarune#deltarune spoilers#kris dreemurr#me writing#me post#turns out it's more complicated than unwilling puppet and video game player! yippee I love when relationships are fucked up#I sincerely thought that Kris tearing out the soul was because they didn't want us touching the item most associated with Dess#regardless of the mission it's too sentimental#I didn't consider they might be keeping the code from us for other reasons until the ominous voice over the phone#perhaps… it’s both...#I also didn't draw the connection most other people did about the voice being carol whoops#sorry explaining my writing more. kris talks about not caring or being a good person but then goes on to demonstrate#that they care so much about the holiday family that it *hurts*#and the insecurity of losing susie... haha what if everyone in our friend group was scared of losing the others wouldn't that be terrible#this thing hit me like a beam of light at like 4 in the morning after playing ch3-4 for 11 hours#so really it wasn't a lot of intentional thought until after I had written it

While I’m talking, Cloud almost killing Tifa in Gongaga is not just a ‘would that be fucked up or what’ moment or even because Tifa has the true memories/proof to counter Sephiroth’s lies (though, that is part of it). It’s also because killing Tifa is the antithesis of who Cloud is. It’s the antithesis of the little boy who put his life on the line to save her and then dedicated his life to becoming strong enough to protect her. The antithesis of his promise to be there for her and the feelings behind it. “Cloud” and “Tifa’s killer” cannot coexist. “Cloud,” the boy defined by a desire to protect Tifa, cannot survive this. That’s why Sephiroth is trying so hard to get Cloud to kill Tifa. Sephiroth could kill her himself and that would still be majorly bad for Cloud’s true identity as he’d still lose his only tether to reality and the symbol of his conscience. But it wouldn’t be as effective as having Cloud do the honors. Sephiroth needs Cloud to kill the light in his own heart. He needs Cloud to kill his self. And there is no more definitive way than this.
#aughhhhhh#final fantasy#final fantasy 7 rebirth#cloti#idk how anyone who played this game walked away from this scene normal. this scene grabbed me by the throat and still hasn’t let go#i have been metaphorically staring at the ceiling for two months#this is only like a sliver of what makes it so crazy too#when you get into how this scene calls back to when cloud is a child and first expresses that desire to become strong like sephiroth#after he is too weak to save tifa from falling off that bridge#and how we see exactly what becoming strong like Sephiroth means#how it’s the path to self-destruction and what that looks like#the death of cloud’s conscience and cloud’s true self - symbolized by and intrinsically connected to tifa#and how it’s not just rage. it’s fear. there’s so much fear and self-hatred driving cloud here#sephiroth’s manipulation is effective because he’s preying on these fears and insecurities that cloud already has#and then the parallels to the start of remake#if i speak……..

i love lucisev in any flavor its given to me but in particular i really enjoy 1) lucisev thats been together since pre going back in time and dont even remember when they “happened” theyve just always been a forever constant and comfort without having to label it or eachother until they dont have it anymore (being separated post time jump) and 2) lucisev that has never happened and its been a pining disastrous mess for years on both ends but then selena leaves for nohr and when laslow and odin ask what she’s holding herself back for she doesnt answer but they already know. when they come back home, selena searches everywhere for her and sometimes, she’s too late. lucina’s already packed up and left the world behind, and for what? no one really knows. but sometimes, she finds her again, but it’s been so long and lucina’s not sure they can go back to being the same way they used to be, not after feeling hurt and betrayed by severa’s sudden departure. but things like this take time, and selena is finally at a place in her life where she can decidedly say she has all of the time in the world.
#ann plays awakening#lucisev#ITS ALMOST PRIDE LUCISEV GIRLS WYA COME OUT COME OUT COME OUT#i just really love lucisev no matter how its served to me#but i feel like a lot of the time its mostly severa’s perspective we see in interpretations of their relationship?#which IS AWESOME#severa in general has such an interesting perspective on the world and how she views life#not to mention romance and probably lucina. just because of. you know. the Mom thing.#but i think lucina’s perspective is just as interesting and i feel like a lot of people wash away lucina’s flaws bc like#just as characters. severa has way more OUTWARDLY NEGATIVE flaws#so things like her attitude and how she treats people puts her more in that kind of ‘box’#whereas lucina’s kind and calm demeanor puts her in that ‘box’#FANDOM TROPES is what im thinking of. the boxes.#and this happens to every popular ship im sure but i dont have a lot of those so i mostly just see it for them and for the most part its#like fine. their backstory is unique enough to where i wouldnt call it mischaracterization or anything bc they still often possess the#qualities that make them lucina and severa#but i just feel like in doing so it scrubs away the messier parts of lucina and her own insecurities and doubts and bitterness that she#doesnt really show as much. though whos really showing those off as much as severa you know 😭#so i think itd be fun if lucina DIDNT welcome severa back with open arms. lucina has lost everything so many times and i think if she lost#the woman that she loves so much (along with her cousin!! and some other guy) and she grieves and she mourns#and then severa just comes back like ‘ahaha sorry. miss me?’ WELL YEAH. OBVIOUSLY.#but to have to have grieved and lost only for the universe to return her to you once you thought you might have had a chance to move on.#isnt that fucked up. ISNT THAT FUCKED UP and i think lucina would see it that way. or she could. and i think thats fun#i want to see lucina have the outbursts i want to see lucina do the pushing away and pulling back#bc while severa is in nohr rebuilding her confidence and making new connections and memories and moving on#lucina is stuck between wanting to be with her family and feeling like she doesnt belong in ylisse anymore#and yeah the other kids are all still there but they all have plans for their lives after the war as shown in their endings#but what does lucina do?#anyways. i do want them to have their happy ending EVENTUALLY. they both have the capacity to forgive and keep going. it just takes a second#I HAD MORE TO SAY BUT I HIT THE TAG CAP FUCK

Cat birthday (2) !
#neo twewy#neo the world ends with you#ntwewy#twewy#the world ends with you#shoka sakurane#my art#the girl of all time...#i love shoka. so much. she's probably my favorite neo character#i think her demeanor is interesting and i like how it reflects a lot of her former struggles and insecurities#like how she places little value on her life and how she isn't used to being taken seriously or being appreciated#and also how. similar to rindo. she felt directionless before she discovered an artist/brand to look up to#also there's her psyche. telewarp#i think a lot of the character's psyches are kind of clear in their interpretation#like fret's arc involves rediscovering himself and learning to be more genuine#and his psyche is remind. like how he needs to remind himself of his own identity#but i've seen a lot of different interpretations for shoka's psyche (which is to say. the “true” meaning is less clear)#i've seen some people discuss how telewarp could indicate that she killed herself by falling from a high place#my interpretation was that it's just because she's constantly moving. both figuratively and literally#she moves from biological family to shinjuku reapers to the wicked twisters#she moves from shinjuku to shibuya#and from rindo's perspective. she moves from an online space to real life#also all of these changes are kind of a “rebirth” of who she is as a person#which ties into her connection with phoenix cantus too#so. yknow! just some food for thought

Something about Nadja mentioning trying to lose her virginity multiple times on a beach in Antipaxos in episode 2
Something about Nadja's ghost wanting to lose her virginity too this season (meaning Nadja never had sex before she was a vampire), as seen from the trailers
Something about her relationship with her Sire, The Baron, knowing they had/have a sexual relationship and that he was most likely the one she lost her virginity to
Something about how Guillermo's turning is framed as a metaphor for his first time having sex
Something about her and Guillermo having time to possibly talk about all this in episode 5
#guillermo de la cruz#nadja of antipaxos#wwdits#what we do in the shadows#guillermo and nadja's relationship is one of the most underrated and most important to me#i really really want them to connect on this and everything that guillermo expected from his turning and the virginity metaphor#and how nadja probably only felt comfortable truly acting on her sexuality when she was a vampire#i think her and guillermo actually have a lot in common especially when she was human#she actually has so much insecurity that she acts out as this ambition for power and status to hide how fragile she actually feels#i love her so much and if nandor and laszlo are getting serious emotional moments with guillermo i want her to too

Hey. I’m outsourcing some research here.
Some of the hopeless people I’ve been seeing are feeling this way because they’re afraid of arbitrary government/bureaucratic decisions.
I’m not arguing about the politics of any of this right now.
What I want to do is to put together a list of aid and charity groups in the US that can supplement/replace government assistance. I know they exist. And I know it can be hard to know where to look for it, especially given how effed up google’s search engine is becoming.
Now, I’m pretty good at finding the Christian groups. Especially ones that give aid regardless of who you are or what you believe. I’ve even found a few non-Christian but still religious groups for those who are adverse to receiving help from Christians. These appear to be mainly Sikh and Jewish groups.
Where I’m struggling is finding national secular aid for those who refuse to interact with religion at all. Every secular aid group I’m finding is either international or disaster oriented. And the national everyday aid groups I thought I found turned out to still be Christian, just not as explicit about it.
So basically, I’m asking if you have any suggestions for non-government, US-centered, non-religious, aid and charity groups focusing on food, shelter/rent-assistance , and medical aid. Or a centralized resource for finding local and/or state based orgs. If they don’t exist, so be it. But I’ve gotta try.
I’m so desperate I’m considering asking r/atheism on Reddit. Please help me avoid having to do that.
#charity#helping others#I know a bunch of the Catholic orgs#that will help anyone and everyone who asks for it#or are really good at connecting people to resources if they can’t directly help#I’ve collected a few Protestant ones that are similar#there are Jewish ones I need to look into more just because I’m not as familiar with them#and I’m glad my instinct that the Sikh would have several of the same types of charities was correct#but secular ones are honestly a bit harder to find#not that there aren’t secular charities#just that their scope is either too big (can’t guarantee local US aid)#or they’re super specialized for specific occurrences (Red Cross is disaster relief and not for your neighbor’s food insecurity)#so I’m asking for help#if you want to suggest more religious charities#feel free

Colin telling a naked Penelope how beautiful she is did something to me. I felt that.
#I have always been insecure whilst naked in front of another person#this whole scene I connected with but that line got to me#think I'll be sobbing through it the next time I watch it#bridgerton#spoilers#colin x penelope#bridgerton spoilers
