i love vivienne and i want to explain why i love her so much and how her way of thinking is understandable even if it goes against what you think but none of my friends play dragon age and i don’t want to get annoyed out of dragon age again bc of annoying dragon age fans that seem to need to debate and argue about everything 💀

we as a mass effect fandom don’t talk about shepard canonically being special forces via being an n7 nearly enough

[cynicaljapanophile]

the choices fandom can be so annoying sometimes, please stop expecting realism. you’re playing a western visual novel library game, pb has literally made games where you’re playing as a homicide detective, a cyberpunk alien, a teenager involved in cults, etc. 

getting upset at the concept of unprofessionalism and the lack of realism in a romance driven visual novel because it’s ‘unrealistic’ is stupid 😭😭

help not my old jacob interview asks suddenly getting a bunch of reblogs 

[cynicaljapanophile]

Can you expand more about the real life relationship between Nakahara Chuuya and Dazai Osamu? I've read somethings about their falling out but I don't know most of the details.

I'm not exactly good at these sorts of things but I'll try to explain it as best as I can. There's better people to explain it but this is basically the most watered-down version of it.

There isn't really any information about the relationship between Nakahara and Dazai before their falling out in 1934/1935 after working together on the Aoi Hana/Blue Flower magazine. They had a pretty cordial relationship for the most part, at least as far as I can tell.

While working on the magazine he invited multiple writers to work on it, Kazuo Dan and Nakahara included. There was an incident when the three of them were out drinking together and for some reason, Nakahara basically said that "You look like blue mackerel in the sky". After the magazine got published and ended with the single volume Dazai said it was because of Nakahara and called him a slug, basically saying he didn't want anything to do with him. Dazai just started talking shit and critiquing Nakahara as much as he possibly could, even when Nakahara died 😭😭

lets start a petition to abolish literally only the asian it lives beneath mc face 

[cynicaljapanophile]

dsajkahdsa i just started laws of attraction and all i wanted was a nice asian mc face and  couldn’t have that 😭😭

[cynicaljapanophile]

is there anyone else that would want a choices book that has an mc that isn't like a rookie or new to their profession?

i'm just a bit tired of mc always being someone that has to be on the lower end of the totem pole in terms of experience/power.

i get it in a storytelling way, it makes it easier to get things across if mc learns it at the same time you do but it gets a bit stale after a while

in which washington tries to convince you to adopt  a cat

“no.”

“what?” washington looked at you in shock, looking back and forth between you and the small bundle of fur in his arms. “i didn’t even say anything to you yet.”

you let out a deep sigh as you dropped your arms ever so slightly. you could already see his pout as you kept your eyes focused on the book in front of you. “i know,” you paused. “it’s just that i already know what you’re going to say.”

shaking your head, you paused for a second before glancing up from the corner of your eye. “and the answer is no, we’re not getting a cat.”

“it’s really not that big of a deal.”

all you could do was groan as you shook your head, burying your face back into the book in your hands as you tried to focus on the words that you just glossed over.

“but,” he interjected before you cut in. “y’know, there are quite a lot of health benefits that come with having pets like cats.” washington tried to persuade you as you continued to read the book in your hands having finally focused back on the words passing by your eyes. despite his attempts, you refused to look up in an attempt to keep your resolve.

“can you really say no to this face?”

you let out a deep sigh, closing your eyes as you hit your face against your book. the sound of your annoyance was muffled by the thin paper you buried into your face. “jesus fucking christ,” you muttered to yourself as you shook your head.

(he really had no idea how to give up.)

waiting a few seconds you finally looked up, focusing your attention on the two in front of you. your eyes narrowed, focusing onto the small kitten in front of you as you leaned in closer to the small feline.

“i don’t like you,” you said sternly as you continued looking at the small animal in front of you refusing to even blink.

washington blinked in confusion at your words. “are you talking to me or the cat?”

you refused to look away. “why don’t you take your pick wash.” you said as you continued to stare down the young animal, you could feel your willpower slowly start to drip as you continued to keep your eyes on your target.

eyes twitching, you let out a deep sigh. dropping your head, you finally looked away as you finally relented under the pressure of the two. “fine.”

(“just ignore the fact that we’re both in the military and most likely can’t handle a pet of all things.”)

“yes!” you heard him shout in a whisper in his excitement and attempt to try and keep quiet.

hearing him, you let out a sigh and rolled your eyes. with that type of response you were sure that whether you agreed or not wouldn’t have changed what he would’ve done anyway.

“just—” before you could finish speaking you were interrupted as washington took your face in his hands, freezing as he pressed a hundred small kisses across your face.

it wasn’t until a few seconds after he let you go that you realized what had happened, shaking your head in an attempt to shake away the growing heat rising to your face.

glancing over at the blonde from the corner of your eye you felt yourself smiling in spite of yourself. “i guess you’re kind of cute.” you looked away before he could get a look at you and the small smile on your face.

he looked up at you, blinking at you in confusion before a small, impulsive smile made it’s way up to his lips. “so,” he said. “who are you talking about this time?” he asked.

you let out a soft laugh under your breath. “i don’t know wash, why don’t you take your pick? i won’t mind either one.”

hypothetical plans

summary: are some plans really worth making?

pairing: general, implied washington x reader

word count: 1123

“there’s no point in having a zombie apocalypse plan.”

grif sighed in disappointment. “and that doc, is why no one notices you when you,” he raised his hands as he said in finger quotations. “disappear.”

“why are you saying disappear like that?”

silence fell on the pair as the orange-armoured soldier stared blankly from behind his gold visor at the medic standing in front of him.

he looked away from the medic and back at him a few more times before answering. “come on,” he waited, letting silence fill the air as his words sunk in. “you know why.”

“i told you, i’m not making it up!”

“and i’m telling you ‘sure’,” grif said dismisively.

“why can’t you — ” doc stopped midsentence at the sight of the familiar soldiers approaching the red base as he gave a small wave to the two. "hey, [l/n], agent washington."

you looked up and gave a small nod as you raised your hand, giving a small wave. “oh hey doc,” you greeted the medic as you came to a stop, looking up as you gave the two a confused look from behind your visor. “when did you get back?”

the medic physically perked up at your question as he turned back to grif. “see! what did i tell you grif!”

he shook his head as he shrugged. “whatever.”

you let out a sigh as you turned your head to the side, exchanging a look with washington. “do you know what’s going on right now?”

“i don’t even know why we came here in the first place.”

“didn’t i — didn’t i tell you earlier?” you asked in visible confusion even through the obstruction of your armour.  

“no, you just told me to follow you and when you started walking you didn’t explain anything to me.” he replied.

“ah…” you said, letting out a sound of understanding. “oh well,” you shrugged as you turned away from the former freelancer and back at the two.

“really?” he asked in strained annoyance. “is that really all that you have to say?”

you hummed to yourself as you tilted your head up to the sky. “pretty much.”

“are you serious?” washington asked, his voice raising a few octaves as he neared the end of his question.

shaking your head, you looked back at the two. “anyway…”

“are you just going to continue to ignore me?”

“doc?” you asked, continuing to ignore the former freelancer as he gave you dead stare from beneath his golden visor. “were you going to ask us something?”

“do you have a zombie plan?”

you and washington blinked slowly, turning to each other in confusion before turning back at the two.

“what?” the two of you asked in unison.

“do you have a zombie apocalypse plan?”

“of course i don’t have a zombie apocalypse plan,” you stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“see!” doc turned to the orange armoured solider in excited relief. it had to just be the red team that had something ridiculous like a plan on what to in regards to a zombie apocalypse. “i told you that everybody doesn’t have a zombie plan.”

“wait for it,” washington muttered under his breath as he turned his head down to the ground. he raised his hand, counting down from three as he waited for you to finally speak up.

“i have a total one hundred and seventeen zombie apocalypse plans.” you nodded.

“so— wait, what?”

all washington could do was let out a deep sigh as he shook his head in either disappointment or exhaustion though a combination of the two wouldn’t be too far off. “jesus christ…”

“i,” you nodded your head as you began to speaking slowly as if doc was genuinely confused from what you were saying rather than you actually having a zombie apocalypse plan of all things. “have one hundred and seventeen plans in case that earth is taken over by zombies.”

doc continued to trip over himself as he attempted to speak but no words would come out in his state of complete and utter confusion. he looked back and forth between you and grif, he could just see the serious look that you were giving him.

grif grinned from ear to ear from behind his golden visor. “aha! what did i tell you?”

“but why?” doc asked in visible confusion as he looked back and forth between you and grif one more time.

“i am a strong believer that zombie apocalypse plans are something that brings people together,” you said in complete seriousness. “i don’t think you can truly say you’re close to someone if you’ve never shared your zombie plans with each other.”

“a-are you serious?” doc asked in concern as he tilted his head to the side, not sure what to think about what he was hearing from you.

“she’s dead serious,” washington deadpanned to the medic.

“but there’s never going to be a zombie apocalypse!”

you turned to doc as you gave him an incredulous look from behind your visor. “people said the exact same thing about aliens but look at us now, i just sent a care package to tucker’s alien baby,” you finished in complete seriousness.

“i don’t even— washington?” doc said as he turned away from you and back to washington in an attempt to find someone that was sane. not that good of a decision considering the people that he was having a conversation with.

“i—” he let out a sigh as he dropped his head. “i have a plan, single plan.” he finished with a particular emphasis on ‘single plan’.

humming to yourself you turned to washington and commented, not making things much better for the medic. “i strongly suggested he make one.”

“you refused to go to sleep until i came up with one,” he replied.

“uhuh,” you said. “like i said, strong reccomend.”

“anyways,” you turned with a soft sigh. “tell me when you’ve gotten your plan down if you want me to look it over.”

doc murmered his breath. “i don’t even know what to say.”

(not long after your exchange once you returned back to the blue base you found yourself in the kitchen, abruptly standing up with wide eyes. “i forgot to talk to donut about his banana bread recipe!”)

doc and grif watched as the two of you disappeared into the distance as you made your way back to blue base.

“w-what just happened?” doc asked in disbelief.

“you just got shown up and proven wrong, that’s what happened.” grif replied before turning away from the medic.

doc couldn’t help but let out a sigh as he muttered under his breath. “i hate it here.”

it's really weird when people try to defend loghain's actions and saying it's understandable what he did.

i get that he has been through a lot of terrible things in his life but that's not a reasonable explanation for causing the death of your daughter's husband, framing it on the only people capable of saving thedas from the blight, ordering the assasination of people that were against you, allowed the torture and killing of innocent people, kidnapping your daughter and allowing the possibility of her being killed just so she wouldn't speak up against you, and selling elves off to the tevinter imperium to fund a war.

even if loghain had some "understandable" thoughts in regard to what he was doing, it was in no way understandable what he did throughout the entire game.

yes, this is a loghain hate blog

agent washington as a s/o headcanons

screen love - trifect • sweet boi - chevy • paris in the rain - lauv • sunkissed - khai dreams • fool - cavetown �� your text - sundial 

hostility is the first thing that came to mind when describing the relationship between you and wash when you first met 

wash wasn’t exactly the most friendly person when you first met each other

you didn’t hit it off immediately or were on the best of terms when you first met but it was something you could always use to tease him about 

even after the two of you made up nothing more than platonic interactions happened 

every once in a while you’d make a joke here and there but that was usually as far as anything would go

it wasn’t until you were forced to interact with each other as one of the few people around after getting stuck in a random canyon after crashing on chorus

although you have to admit the experience was a bit… jarring to say the very least

while you don’t stop antagonizing him completely, you start to slow down after a conversation that the two of you have one night 

it’s not a particularly interesting conversation

at most, it probably lasts thirty minutes and you don’t really learn anything of real value 

even so, a conversation with someone late into the night gives you a bit of clarity on a person even if it was on somebody you wanted to avoid as much as possible

there’s not a specific moment when your relationship passed the line of friendship to romance

it was simply a progression that happened over time before either of you realized what had actually happened 

but if we’re being specific on when either of you realized the change in the relationship that you had, the first person who realized that change was washington

it’s a bit awkward, to say the least

you don’t really notice it though, wash’s personality wasn’t really all that different before he realized it after all

he doesn’t really vibe with the whole pda thing (and you don’t really care either way to be completely honest) 

because of this when the two of you are alone he’s a simp really soft

it gives you some serious whiplash sometimes

he unironically uses cheesy pickup lines on you 

wash: “i’m no photographer, but i can picture us together.”

y/n: “aw.” (sweetie… please no…)

corny 

the personification of a “how to be a good boyfriend” article (source: wikihow)

doesn’t really understand what you mean when you ramble about your “couple aesthetic” but he’s supportive

it doesn’t change the fact that he bought sky fall blue paint instead of bluebell blue paint but still, he’s trying

supports everything that you do 

wash literally has no interest in ghosts whatsoever but because of you he has now a complete history of every single haunting that have taken place in texas

neither of you says you’re together directly 

one day you just have a conversation and it just comes out 

y/n: “aw, babe, you had a crush on me? that’s embarrassing.”

wash: “we’re married.”

y/n: “still…”

everybody is just like ??? when did y’all get married ???

he’s just very proud 

the reason you don’t try to bring up your relationship with wash is that when you do he’ll never shut up about it 

it’s not even on purpose and he never realizes when he’s doing it

washington is just a very happy man

he loves you so much and it makes him very soft
