day 100000 of me seeing a post about 'care/whumpers' and thinking 'that is literally just a whumper who is nice sometimes. you are literally just describing a whumper'
#trying to avoid it going into any tags for people who enjoy the concept#once again i am so viscerally uncomfortable with the way people talk abt this...#idk. trope. archetype. whatever. like that's just a whumper#who isn't beating the fuck outta whumpee 24/7#since when does whumper exclude someone who has 'good intentions'#or is nice sometimes#or thinks they're doing what's best#that's like- idk. it's very...#there is a way this community uses this term that is so heavily abuse apologistic that it's#very very uncomfortable and alarming for me as an abuse survivor#what about any kind of care meaningfully makes the abuse inflicted not abuse#or less abuse or more of a 'grey area'#go on i'll wait#gav gab#it's not like 'intimate whumper' or 'scientist whumper' or whatever#it's not an adjective modifying whumper#it is posited as a distinctly separate thing#from both whumper and caretaker as situaitonal roles#and the only thing differentiating it as far as i can see#is they're Nice Sometimes#or they don't MEAN to do the harm they do#and it's like. idk#saying that makes them somehow partially a caretaker#who are may i remind not Perfect People Who Never Do Wrong#but are a narrative role within a situation that is set contrary to the harm caused#is like#that's really really disturbing to me and says some frightening things about how people using the term may see abuse#fiction is not reality blah blah i know#but the way this is framed and approached#speaks to some unconscious biases about abuse

lucanis is a 'I could sit in our quiet kitchen on a grey tuesday afternoon drinking coffee and talking with you about nothing much in particular forever and be the happiest man who ever lived' romantic, not a 'classic tropes and grand gestures' romantic. this is a distinction and conceptual gap I personally feel is crucial to understanding what's going on with him when romanced. for all his almost painful sincerity and clear depth of feeling he's not a very effusive guy by nature, but in the history of time no one has ever, with their whole soul, chest and being, been so genuinely and openly happy to just do laundry and taxes with you.
#dragon age#dragon age: the veilguard#lucanis dellamorte#rookanis#rook x lucanis#his enchanting bordering on comical low-keyness in all his dealings and quiet but unflinching devotion is the point!#that is where the joy is stored. To Me. the mutual 'your company could make hell paradise to me' level of just...#*liking* between him and rook gets to me. they're best friends who enjoy doing everything together and also in love.#diversity win two demisexuals living the dream out there and incidentally also sometimes killing dragons together <3#it's less about the butterflies in my stomach excited love more about the calm safe home/best friend kind of love. if you see what I mean#less dramatic and narratively explosive more realistic and soothing and exactly my shit haha#also I think he's autistic and leaning on romance tropes is more like scripting for him (not inauthentic in terms of the feelings#just some 'well as I understand these are the steps to *express* these feelings' not quite spontaneity going on)#but that is very much a personal headcanon and fully vibes-based and no one has to agree with me on it haha#if/when he proposes to rye I don't think he plans it all out or anything he'd just gaze at him in some very mundane everyday situation#and suddenly go '...hey do you want to get married' like he's noting that they're low on onions or something#because he's so utterly enchanted with rook's existence and being anything else seems kind of irrelevant right then#(rye knows him very well and is not particularly taken aback by this. if anything he'd been fretting#over popping the much bigger question of whether lucanis wants to get buried side by side with him lol#(reader... he said yes. and they were gravemates. (oh my god they were gravmates)))

i think about a new theoretical video essay idea at least every 3 months but one that's stuck with me is a theoretical video called 'ranking lichens in the background shots of [media]' and it's exactly what you think but i only pick dramatic scenes outdoors so i can pause them to zoom in on 3 pixels of lichens in the background
#the one thats always come to mind is supernatural.#was never a massive supernatural guy but ive been on this site for a long time and watched the first 3 seasons#and like. they're outside in the woods and stuff and also they die like 35 times in dramatic ways#so i think its a good candidate#but then its like. ok what do i do? try to ID on sight?#VERY hard with plants and lichens to do that and also i dont know them all#so the best i have is like. i look and say 'thats a good lichen' et#lichens

This is what happened after 3.1 isn't it?
#hsr#phaidei#phaidei nation I humbly offer thee a low quality meme to cope with the doomed yaoi that was going on#phainon#honkai star rail#fellas is it gay for your red coded rival to your blue coded rival to clasp his hands over your own after you stabbed him#due to thinking he was the objective of your revenge quest#pull your sword deeper in and by consequence add to your proximity while smiling and fondly say “Found you.”?#Was it casual when you had an insanely charged and homoerotic scene in the hot baths that had you face down on the ground at his feet?#no but seriously these two have me in a chokehold#what do you MEAN you told him your precise weak spot just in case you became you turned against his cause#and his presumed future EMIYA Archer coded shadow self immediately went precisely for it?#and you KNOW you'll die with a wound in that weak spot in your back and you told him about it anyway#and you tell people to keep an eye on him after you go to meet your fate and then ask him to watch over your people#and he says he'll work hard to learn your language#AND FINALLY#“If there's a chance in the next life you should come visit my library.” WHAT IF I PERISHED ON THE SPOT?!#that's their “See you in the next world.”; their “Do stay alive. I wish you the best of luck.”;#their “I would have really liked just doing laundry and taxes with you.”; “You were a wonderful experience. You were everything.” etc etc#they make me ill (positive)#also I find it so funny that as a KevinSu shipper in HI3rd I went into Star Rail expecting for the dynamic to be more coded with Anaxa#only for Phaidei to hit literally all of my points and favorite tropes in a ship and by consequence my head with a steel chair lol#really hope we see Mydei again soon because literally the first thing Phainon does after he's gone is talk about him all the time#he is a professional yearner and I respect him for it (especially since I too miss Mydei as if he's Odysseus going off to war and sea#for 20 years and I'm Penelope waiting at the shores of Ithaca)#also sorry for the low quality screenshot I was literally too invested in the quest to try and take better ones#gotta love how Hoyoverse is always giving the Kaslanas some of the best romances in their games and ESPECIALLY so if they're queer#myphai

DP x DC Prompt #27
When Dick's parent's fell, his first thought was, "This can't be happening." His second thought was, "What's going to happen to me and my brother now?"
The answer? His brother was older than him, much older. Old enough that he could stay with the circus. But Dick? Dick couldn't stay with Danny. He was too young.
So Bruce Wayne took him in, offered to take Danny in too. Dick begged his brother to join him, but Danny didn't. He smiled at Dick, ruffled his hair, and told him he'd be waiting at the circus for when Dick returned. Promised to send postcards and letters.
Then he was gone. And Dick never returned to the circus.
#finemeal prompt#dp x dc#danny fenton#dick grayson#danny and dick are bio bros#bruce wayne adopts dick#but danny's just old enough to be independent#but not quite financially stable enough to support dick#i also think this is dick's view on what happened#and danny was torn up inside about leaving his brother behind#but was doing his best to make an awful situation tolerable#also?#they're both grieving something fierce#i think it's okay danny doesn't take dick in#but who knows how that affects their relationship#wonder twins#at least that's what my friend calls them#i guess they'd be wonder siblings huh?#wonder siblings#there we go

I really do think a lot about how Bobby affirmed Eddie made a good parenting choice when Eddie brought Chris to the firehouse in Stuck. Eddie has had to deal with his own parents being like, “you are not good for him, you don’t know him, don't drag him down” and then Bobby hears Eddie say, “I didn’t know where to take him” and he IMMEDIATELY says, “yeah, you did, right here." and it's a small moment that gets overlooked. But like...Eddie is probably expecting another person to tell him all the ways he's bad bad not good enough bad for Chris. And Bobby is like, "nah, you knew. you're his dad and you knew to take him here." That must have been SO relieving to Eddie.
#911#911 abc#eddie diaz#bobby nash#every day I cry about BobbyEddie#Also like yes the Buck calling ahead too is great because it's like...#Eddie doesn't have to question the motivations here#Bobby isn't judging him and thinking he's unfit#Buck isn't calling ahead to prove he knows best#they're all trusting EDDIE to know what to do with his son and helping where they can to make it EASIER but not take it away from him

thank you very much. // thank you for the player you are.
#tennis#tennisedit#sincaraz#carlos alcaraz#carlitos alcaraz#jannik sinner#wimbledon 2025#nico gifs#quite honestly sickening.#why are they like this 😭😭😭😭😭#something something carlitos hesitating before saying they have a really good relationship OFF the court#and jannik hesitating before saying they 'build up' ON the court#i think that is SOOOOO interesting#carlitos never stops talking about how jannik pushes him to be a better player and yaps endlessly about their rivalry#and it's not that he never said they have a good relationship off court too. but you can see his hesitation here. in this moment in time#what are we .. we are the best rivalry in our sport and i've made that my entire personality but Outside Of That. what are we#are we what i want us to be... are we? jannik are we?#do you See how he doesn't look at jannik when he says a really good uh... [FUCKFUCKFUCK CAN I SAY THIS] relationship off the court#but Then he turns to jannik when he says they have a great rivalry. i'm going insane#meanwhile jannik has always struggled seeing himself as carlitos' biggest rival. he's never deemed himself worthy of that title#so he tends to get uncomfortable when the topic of their rivalry is mentioned. does his usual Not Really Answering thing.#now he kind of has no choice but to accept that he IS carlos' rival that they ARE at the moment THE rivalry in men's tennis#there is really no denying that anymore. even for jannik#but it still makes him a bit uneasy. he still pauses. he still has to take a deep breath before he says it. tell himself 'you're worthy.'#let me not get into the whole jannik saying they're friends then saying they're not really friends then saying they text then--#i still have to figure him out fully on that one. probably never will. whoever thinks they have i regret to inform you you'd have to be in#his head to be able to say you understand what goes through his mind when he says the things he says even publicly. or know him personally#that said let's all keep rpf-ing about it happily!

never gonna stop losing my mind over this scene i fear
#what we do in the shadows#wwdits#wwdits spoilers#laszlo x nadja#ladja#laszlo cravensworth#nadja of antipaxos#they're so in love i truly can't#couple of all time#gosh i'm. really happy we got this from nadja as well after his scene to her in ep5 <3#the. i love you for you not for the hero you feel like you have to be to deserve it 🥺 something just like this coded#also her mentioning his hair. so real it is one of his best qualities#and the similarites between both scenes with them bickering & sitting back to back but so close to each other still!#old married couple fr#only thing that would've made this scene even better was if they kissed fr. even in the background or something#but it's alright in my head they did#and yeah while she obvs doesn't really need it i still do think that him training the monster specifically to protect her was a lot#god i love them so much. it is i who can't live without them i fear i can't believe we only have 2 eps left :(

Diomedes really cranked the "simp-o-meter for Odysseus" from 0 to 12 in approximately 0.6 seconds in book 10 (choose ur spy buddy) and im snort-laughing.
Partially because of how Unnecessarily Extra Diomedes is.
And then even more so because of how Extremely Done Odysseus is in his reply (every time he uses the "long-suffering Odysseus" epithet i fucking DIE laughing. I can FEEL the -_-)
But also, because I feel like the opposite is more typical (Odysseus having the flowery flattering speeches and Diomedes just, like, "read at 2pm"-ing him in return):
I am choosing to headcanon that Dio is very subtly/very gently teasing/mocking Odysseus. And that Ody has done the "oh i pick Diomedes the incredible, the unmatchable, unwinnable force of the gods' will!!!" thing to him recently and Dio is now just throwing it back at him in a "do u hear what u sound like when u talk???" Kind of way.
Which is why Ody is peak "i am Unamused by this, diomedes" in the scene. Because he knows he's being gently roasted in a way the others likely won't pick up on/which is Just For Him.
And i think that's beautiful
#the iliad#odysseus#diomedes#odydio#diomedes x odysseus#did u know: bullying is a love language for some people#(if the people are called 'Odysseus' and 'Diomedes' anyway)#ody getting his own little dig right back in by “son of tydeus”-ing diomedes#BC YOU DONT PLAY A LITTLE BITCH AT HIS OWN LITTLE BITCH GAME#AND COME OUT OF THAT NOT BITCH-SLAPPED.#i feel like dio is still smirking and Worth It#as soon as they're alone the pair of them just bickering about it#ody: “both of us could come back from the blazing of fire itself” - Really??? are you fucking serious!?#dio: I believe it! i belieeeve!!! ur the bestest strategical tactician the army has ever known ever!!!#ody: shut the fuck up.#dio: that's what u sound like when u say shit like that you know#ody: i do not! dio: yes u do.#ody: i do NOT. i sound thoughtful elegant and poetic when I speak. because i THINK before i open my mouth!#ody: you sounded like a concussed lusty teenager writing his first love letter and abusing a thesaurus to do it#dio:......oh my athena do u really mean it??? ur so sweet to me!!!#ody: i hate you. dio: naah. ody: i do. dio: you don't. ody: i DO. dio: you can't hate me.#ody: i do. the only reason I havent thrown you into the sea is because- dio: you couldn't throw me if the war depended on it?#ody: NO. it's because I don't NEED to. because you made an utter fool of yourself in there.#dio: i did not that's the best bit. they were all eating it right up! believed every word about you.

Dear Bonnie, I’m a coward. I should be saying this to your face, not writing this letter, but I know if I do you’ll talk me out of running away from all my problems. You’re gonna make me face a future without Elena and you’re gonna help make me the best man I could possibly be, the same way she did. And I’m absolutely terrified of failing you both. So, I’m leaving. Because I’d rather let you down once, than let you down for the rest of your life. And I hope it’s the happiest life. Because you, Bonnie Bennett, are an amazing woman, a mediocre crossword puzzle player and my best friend.
With great love and respect, Damon.
