sorry just imagining sunny and kel getting married

they choose to get married in the church where mari's service was

as a way of sort of taking back the place from traumatic association, and as a way of honoring mari as their most special guest.

they either both wear a suit or both wear a dress. i have not decided yet.

actually i'm gonna make the executive decision and say that they both wear dresses.

sunny wears a beautiful raven black dress that's ballgown-like, with a lace train and a veil that's nestled neatly into his hair with flowers. he is not used to grabbing attention with his appearance, but in this instance, he finds it kind of nice.

kel wears a lovely and simple white dress that barely goes down to his mid thighs, so that way, he can move freely and easily and run around. also, he wants sunny to be the star of the show today. aubrey gives him a white bow to tie up his hair with.

imagine the two of them standing and giving their vows, holding each others' trembling hands to comfort each other and to assure each other that there is no pressure here. this is just a special day to celebrate what they have and take it a step farther. they can trust each other. they're here for each other.

the guest list is extremely small. the only people in the church are hero, aubrey, and sally as the flower girl. and of course, mari in spirit.

unfortunately, both kel's and sunny's parents declined their invitations.

but imagine them sharing their first dance after being married. neither of them are the most steady or sure on their feet, but the music carries them in such a magical way as they hold each other and support each other.

kel is definitely sobbing tears of joy, and for the first time in a long time, sunny is genuinely smiling the entire day.

it’s the fact that some sanders sides fans will say it was roman’s fault that thomas chose the wedding and then bitch and moan about how “thomas should have communicated with his friends!” when ROMAN is the one who suggested that and he got shot down immediately.

me when i don’t give patton a redemption arc in my aus

like sorry guys

he like many parents that exist in the real world is unable to accept the concept that just because he had good intentions doesn’t mean his actions are excusable or need to be forgiven.

Not all villains need a redemption arc. People act like having an antagonist in a piece of media that is actually evil/ immoral/ shitty in general makes it some taboo grotesquerie.

people online: omg the israeli government is killing innocent palestinian citizens! something needs to be done!

me: omg yes i completely agree, no innocent people should die due to a government conflict!

people online: we need to bomb “isnotreal” and kill those citizens!

me: uh wait what.

people online: these awful jews are using antisemitism as an excuse to start wwiii!

me: guys no hold on. that’s literally not-

people online: let’s bomb and destroy israel, let’s kill everyone in israel! that’ll show them!

me: ohhh i see. you don’t actually care about the palestinians. you’re just pretending you do because you want innocent jewish people to die. this is not a religious war. the israeli government is pretending like it is but it’s not. don’t fall for it because that’s what they want. if you fuel the fire with antisemitism, then more people will die. if you actually want to help palestine, respond with love and a desire for peace instead of revenge on revenge on revenge. israel has a right to exist. palestine has a right to exist. neither nation’s government/leaders are perfect, but this does not change the fact that the people who live there did not choose for this conflict to happen and do not deserve to be put in the middle of it. if you wish death on anybody in gaza then shame on you because people like you are part of the reason why this has gone on for so long.

if i see anybody celebrating the fact that iran attacked israel, saying that they hope people died or anything similar, i am blocking you.

nobody should be expressing EXCITEMENT about bombs and killing and war. i did some research, and it looks like iran's bombs did not kill anybody (please correct me if i'm wrong), but even so, people are treating it like it's a good thing that israelis were at risk of getting hurt or dying.

i just don't get it. you guys condemn israel for killing palestinians (which is completely fair if you are only targeting the israeli government and not the innocent civilians of israel who did not choose to be a part of this conflict), and then turn around and clap and cheer at the mere possibility of israelis being killed the same way.

what the israeli government is doing is a (very morally wrong) act of retaliation against what happened on october 7, and then october 7 is an act of retaliation against an act of retaliation against an act of- when does it stop? at this rate, it will never stop.

we need to stop cheering and rooting for revenge and focus on trying to help refugees, do all we can to help keep more people from getting hurt, no matter what nation they belong to.

whether the person blown to pieces is palestinian or israeli or neither or both, it doesn't matter. the deaths all hurt the same. it's all people who are dying.

so don't you dare come online and say nasty things behind a screen about how you hope innocent israelis die.

because if you do, you are just as bad as the people wishing death on palestinians, and that's the truth.

the concept of fatphobia isn't "skinny people have never ever been shamed or insecure about their bodies ever" but rather "society literally doesn't want fat people to exist at any cost to the point healthcare systems are willing to let fat people die rather than address any other possible medical issue, in addition to facing insults and disgust at every turn socially". online the fact u can't make a body positive or even neutral post without somebody going "but what about us naturally skinny and petite people" is so fucked man

If you had to pick, what's the ONE trait in a fictional character that makes you immediately go "oh this one's mine"

[prodigal-explorer]

familial beauty and the beast au

so it's called familial because remus and roman are in the places of belle and the beast.

but basically, roman and remus are twins who were separated as young children due to a falling out between their parents, logan and patton. logan disagreed with how patton was using his power as a ruler, and so he took remus and ran away without a word after being unable to convince his husband to change. logan is a very skilled mechanic/engineer, but he is seen as the town nutjob because ironically he is so much smarter than them, that they think he's talking nonsense. remus follows into logan's footsteps as he grows older, but he ends up embracing his "nuttiness", becoming someone who makes little trinkets and machines regularly.

but let's go back to patton and roman, the ones who are left in the kingdom. patton is enraged when he finds out that logan left and stole remus, and he's also terrified that he'll lose roman too, the only family he has left. so he locks up roman in the palace, spoiling him rotten and isolating him from the world so that roman never wants to leave him. but since patton is roman's only role model, and he is not a particularly good one, roman becomes a terror of a person. rude and nasty and spoiled, always needing to get his way, immature, childish, and ignorant.

one day, roman runs away because he wants to see the world. but he runs into a witch. not particularly knowing any better, roman treats her extremely rudely. she retaliates by placing a curse on him, and patton soon finds roman passed out in the woods. and he looks like a MONSTER. the rose is sitting next to him, with a note: "if the prince does not destroy what poisons his heart before the last petal falls, he will stay infected forever."

but when roman wakes up, and he sees patton, he goes wild. he freaks out. he blames patton for not teaching him anything about the world. he's a terrified teenager whose life was ruined, and he doesn't understand why. he attacks patton, and patton, believing that roman is too monsterous, a failure, beyond saving, runs. and he abandons roman.

roman retreats to the castle, and when he finds that he's all alone, he starts to loathe himself. he doesn't know what poisons his heart. he doesn't know how to destroy it. so he's horrible to his servants who stay. he's too scared to leave the castle ever again, because he doesn't want to be cursed again, or loathed as an ugly beast.

but patton isn't finished. he realizes that as long as roman is running around free, he's a danger to the village, and to the rest of his living, though estranged, family. so he approaches the witch and tells her to cast a spell on the castle, to trap roman and the servants inside it. reluctantly, she agrees. anybody can come into the castle, but nobody can come out. not until somebody joins hands with roman and walks out with him. but roman cannot leave alone. so patton and the witch are convinced that roman is trapped forever, or at least, at their mercy.

what happens when remus decides to go into the forest to find a plant that he desperately needs when logan falls dangerously ill, and he sees the castle, realizes it looks familiar, and starts to explore? before he realizes that though he walked in with no trouble, he's unable to leave.

and standing right across from him, is the most hideous, horrifying beast he has ever seen. but instead of being afraid of the beast, remus pauses and realizes something: the *beast* is terrified of *him.*
