the thing is that voice in your head saying ‘don’t bother making that niche content; it has like no fans’ is thinking about it the wrong way. maybe it has like no existing fans. but we all know that fanworks are the greatest advertisements. especially if it’s specifically for a rare duo or an au or something within the work that would literally have no advertisement otherwise. fanwork is all there is! the only way to get other people into that thing is to post about it and the more passionate you are the more effective your trap-uh i mean. strategy!- will be

Please reblog

Australian KOSA is occurring right now

They are banning anyone under the age of sixteen from almost all media sites, including YouTube now.

They are including sites they promised they wouldn’t include

They are using inaccurate face scanning tech that does not accurately know your age

The other option is using government IDs

Neither is wanted.

PAY ATTENTION TO THIS RIGHT NOW. PLEASE JUST FOR A MOMENT

Does anyone else feel lonesome?

Not lonely. Not alone. Just... lonesome. Like you don't feel connected to anyone. Like you never feel that you will find anyone that understands you, that will see you truly, let alone someone who will even like you. You see friends everywhere, but you don't see yourself in their place, like that is not for you, like you're not made for that and that's not made for you. You see people having fun and laughing and dancing and getting drunk and falling in love and you just... don't feel that for yourself. Like you're not supposed to have that, like you can't because it's not for you and you're not for it.

Like you're supposed to be seeing all these beautiful things in the world but not experience them yourself. Like you want to experience so much, experience everything, but be overwhelmed by it so you don't do any of it.

Like you want to be everywhere and do everything, but you don't belong anywhere and can't do anything. Like you're not supposed to be here. Not in a self-deprecating way but in an incongruous way. You want to live you want to be alive, but you feel you're not supposed to be. Not here at least, not like this. Just a presence in the world, not an active member of it. Even your body doesn't feel like home, your face isn't a face you recognise, like you're not supposed to have either. Like you're just supposed to be.

Like you're supposed to observe, but not experience.

Actually I find this really funny so let's break this down

Which of the Guardians of Light does Lea actually know going into the final battle?

Sora Course he knows Sora. Everyone in the organization knew Sora. Keyblade's chosen, major piece of the organization's plans. They developed quite a rapport through the events of CoM, plus on top of that all of Roxas and Xions' personal ties to him. Completely in the loop on who this guy is.

Kairi Fellow trainee in Merlin's Funny Timespace Distortion. Strongly implied they had several conversations and got to some level of friendship. Before that, he kidnapped her. Definitely acquaintances at the very least.

Donald & Goofy Sora's funny little guys that went with him through castle oblivion. He's spoken to them a handful of times. Maybe not directly, but you know. They're around. Probably unclear on the details of why they're here, but Lea doesn't sweat the small stuff.

Michael Mouse First of all, he's a semi public figure who interacted regularly with the king of Radiant Garden, so we cannot discount the possibility that Lea saw him just. Around. When he was a kid. Don't think they ever interacted through the events of CoM or Kh2, but at least might have had one conversation while they were preparing to save Sora from being norted.

Riku I would argue there's strong evidence Lea has no idea who the hell Riku is. Yes, Riku let him and Namine go in Kh2, but Lea certainly has no idea who that guy was. He was wearing a hood! Also was wearing Ansem's face! They don't talk in DDD because Riku was too eyes on the prize to particularly care about this random guy dropping in during a fight. Lea having any understanding of who Riku is I think hinges entirely on if he poked his nose into Vexen's work on the replica program.

Ventus Small teenager he had one (1) conversation with over a decade ago with a face identical to one of Lea's best friends. He asks for literally anyone to fill him in on why this is the case, or why this kid seems to have not aged a day in twelve years. No one does.

Aqua Random woman. Complete 0 idea who this person is. He might have heard someone refer to her using the title "Master" and that's all he's got to go on.

Terra Even less context than Aqua. They set out to kick Xehanort's ass with nine people in their party, split up, and then when they come back together, they have ten. No one comments on this. Said tenth person has the exact face of Lea's old evil boss. Please take a minute and imagine the sheer level of 'what the fuck' that must have been running through Lea's mind in that moment.

Placing the Blame

(Blood tw)

[memorystormsanctuary]

call me home, is anybody out there at all?

[memorystormsanctuary]

It is a genuine shame that Vanitas' entire backstory is locked in a novel that took years to get an english translation because like, how many people know he was born without a face? How many people know that Xehanort used to only visit him in the Badlands once a week to kick the shit out of him? How many people know he started his life panicking and insisting he was Ventus? That when the Unversed die they return to him and he feels the pain of their deaths? How many people know the reason Ven was taken away was because Vanitas outright admitted if he was left alone with his comatose Light he was gonna kill him?

How many people know that Vanitas actively can feel Ven's emotions, to the extent where he threw up after Ven remembered their separation? Ven recalling that hurt so much, he threw up. An Unversed. He threw up an Unversed.

Vanitas is fucking neat is what I'm trying to say but also he's like, a boss within a boss. Tragic backstory locked, read a fucking book.

It is your sworn duty, when you're in your 30's, to do something every day that would have gotten you viciously bullied in high school.

ancient greek word of the day: κακοθερής (kakotherēs), unfitted to endure summer heat

[memorystormsanctuary]

“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

forgive the version of you that didn’t know any better

Kinda wild how my parents have known me for longer than literally anybody else on the planet and they still haven’t unlocked the relationship levels that allow them access to information like what TV shows or music I enjoy, when some random guy at Walmart got there within ten minutes today

At the store I was covering today a dad walked in with his kid. They were on the teen side of childhood but age was indeterminate to me. He said, “So they need a new bed.” Later he added, “Their current bed is pretty squishy.”

I glanced at the child and said, “Would I be correct in intuiting your pronouns are they/them?”

Both dad and child lit up and he thanked me for noticing.

“It’s no big deal. My wife uses they/them. It confuses people because they hear wife and assume she/her but they’re a they/them. It just sounds so much better than spouse or partner to say my wife.”

The kid was ecstatic and exclaimed, “Yeah cause that’s your wife!”

It was fully heart meltingly adorable.
