My Knight in Shinning Palmer heart is happy, but a small part of me knows that was the Tiva bullpen scene we never got and it’s a little bittersweet.

“Besides, you’re still in love with your old girlfriend.”

Let’s talk about this trope. I see this often with older male characters, and my only question is why? It’s so tiring and honestly, a little silly. And this is not me trying to diminish real feelings that teenagers can have. Many people marry their high school sweethearts and live long happy lives together. But you also grow together and build a life with one another. It’s very different.

If my math is correct, Joy and Parker dated when they were 15/16 years old. They went their separate ways their junior year of high school so they were probably 16 when they broke up. Our brains don’t fully develop until we’re about 26. Parker and Joy, even at 21, would be very different people from who they were at 16, and even more so at 26. They’re like 60 now. It’s safe to say they are strangers at this point.

This trope is so unhealthy to me, and usually painted as romantic by writers. Him not able to have a healthy long lasting relationships with women because he’s still obsessed with his high school girlfriend is not romantic. One could argue it's toxic. Honestly he needs therapy because this has to be some form of trauma. Yet, the writers love using women for male pain, and this isn’t any different. You’ll never see them write a female character incapable of having an adult relationship because they can’t get over their old flame, because they don’t use men as plot devices like they do with women.

It’s like when ALL of Gibbs’ relationships and marriages failed because he couldn’t move past Shannon. I totally understand this for him because they built a life together and had a child, (but it’s still unhealthy) As we get older the way we love changes. We mature and so does the way we love and how we love matures with us. There’s no reason Viv had to compete with a ghost from his teenage years. It’s downright silly and kind of unrealistic if we’re being honest.

I love Joy as a character and I love the actress. I feel like the writers need an excuse to prevent Parker from being happy just as they did with Gibbs. And I hate that. A part of me wishes they used Joy’s actress as Viv (I wasn’t too fond of the actress they used. Perhaps it was the way she was written or portrayed, but I’m not a fan), and just gave us a slow burn of him getting back with his ex wife of many years. I feel like that’s the direction they were originally going in until they retconned it with the Joy plot line.

And when Constance broke up with Parker, I felt sad for him, and then suddenly she hits us with the “you’re still in love with your old girlfriend” line, and I just eye rolled so hard. Like why? It’s so stupid. It pulled me out of the story and I love Parker, I do, but it kind of ruins his character for me just a little. It’s just weird. Like you were a child when you loved her, you haven’t seen her since you were 16. Move on, my guy. Move on. I just know a man wrote this into his story, that or I want to know who’s 14 year old child went into the writing room and suggested it. Because it’s silly.

Also just to reiterate that they usually don’t do this with women: Joy herself is a good example. When Parker asked if she was over him, we never saw her response. Clearly, that conversation didn't go in his favor because nothing came from it. Most likely, she rejected him. However they did allow Jimmy to fall in love again and be in a healthy happy relationship after his wife died, but Parker can't get over a girl he dated at 16? It's just a badly written plot and a trope that needs to die. It's not romantic, its not cute. I'm not sitting at my tv and going, “awww, he's stuck in his past which is preventing him from having healthy long lasting relationship, so sweet and romantic.” Yuck no.

Also please note this is not me hating on Parker. He is one of my favorite fictional characters ever. I adore him. This is just me complaining about NCIS writers. I love the show to pieces, but when it comes to characters like Parker and Gibbs, they love to throw these toxic tropes at us. One of those tropes being unbridled anger = masculinity (hello old wounds.) Anyway. Rant over ha ha.

TL;DR: Unless you have an unhealthy obsession, real people don't stay in love with the person they dated at 16, especially after 40-something years. That person would be so far from your mind. It's unrealistic and I wish writers would stop using this trope to prevent characters from happiness or having any healthy long-lasting relationships.

Griffon's Nest [20x21]

Hey everyone!

My latest map is of a Griffon's lair. When your party is tasked with hunting down this fearsome beast, you need a proper nest where they can have a classic "A savage beast or misunderstood mother" moment.

You know I have to ask, lol.

Kabru x Mithrun.

1. The biggest reason, probably, is that Mithrun is one of the few characters Kabru isn't a manipulative little shit around. There's a pretty obvious reason for it--Mithrun only wants Demon Revenge and has no ulterior motives for keeping Kabru around, but it's nice to have moments where Kabru isn't overanalyzing every movement someone takes.

2. This bitch (me) who's been a 20x21 shipper for over a decade can't turn down a good escort mission romance. I think it counts as an escort mission, I count it as one. Begrudgingly taking care of a man who's hyper-competent at battle and pathetic at everything else while you're alone together while traversing a dungeon counts as an escort mission.

3. I'm also a sucker for things that can be sad, and Mithrun's whole 'lack of desire' thing adds a nice degree of tragic. One sided Kabru pining over a man who will never desire him? Ough! (Of course my headcanons will always veer towards happy endings, but... sometimes I just want to rip out my heart and squeeze it)

Listen... I didn't mean to get invested in them! One of the reasons I started reading DunMeshi was because I barely get passionate about wlw ships and I thought Farcille was cute... and it is but here I am, being weird about these guys instead.

Longpost about Dream's House #2

Back by popular demand (me), I'm here to continue where I left off in the [First Post] where I talked about my floorplan for Dream's House.

Content Warning: Spoilers for the fic An Anthology of Dreams & also warning for the use of Imperial measurements (because I'm USAmerican and all my houses are measured in feet)

Recap:

the Original Floor Plan was 3180 sq ft

Renovation #1 adding 572 sq ft to the basement and 90 sq ft to the first 2nd Floor (for a total of 662 additional sq ft) - bringing in a total of 3842 sq ft for the house

Renovation #2 added the Second 2nd Floor, which is 3882 sq ft, along with a 150 sq ft dining room (for a total of 4032 additional sq ft) - bringing in a total of 7874 sq ft for the house

Last time on Kamari333 we just finished talking about the Renovation #2, which happens in Chapter 17 (refresher: this was 6 months after Hiphop first arrived, and Dream is 14).

The next renovation happens in Chapter 19, when Falsi arrives. This is a little after Dream's 16th birthday (which happens offscreen).

Renovation #3

By this point, Dream has brought in several people on his own, but he's never before modified the house by himself (unless you count making the yard, but that isn't technically modifying the house). This is the point that Dream starts to add to the house by himself, without Ink (although we can see he is mimicking Ink, having learned from him through observation).

The first thing Dream does is manifest a new wing of the 1st floor, breaking a hole in the playroom wall to access it. This new wing consists of:

a 4x12 ft [48 sq ft] hallway of dark blue-tinted stone

a 22x10 ft room [220 sq ft] for Falsi's Clinic

a 10x10 ft [100 sq ft] bedroom off the Clinic for Falsi

This Wing for Falsi is by itself 368 sq ft.

Dream then turns around and adds more to the other side of the house, still on the first floor:

the Dining room is extended from 15x10 ft [150 sq ft] from the last renovation to 25x20 ft [500 sq ft] (a 350 sq ft expansion)

a second kitchen 16x30 ft [480 sq ft]

a second livingroom 16x20 [320 sq ft] off the diningroom

a small additional wing that is 20x21 ft [420 sq ft] off the diningroom (opposite the second livingroom)

This additional mini wing has a standard 2x10 staircase, as well as 3 bedrooms: a 10x9 ft bedroom [90 sq ft]; a 9x9 ft bedroom [91 sq ft]; and a 12x6 ft bedroom [72 sq ft].

You may have noticed that the Front Door and Back Door have been color coded in Red since the last post, since Renovation #2. If you look at the map, you will see that the new, second livingroom now extends out to block the back door. However, the back door still works; you can go in and come out through it with no interference from the new livingroom, although the livingroom itself does not have any indication for it at all. Like always, these new additions are not visible from the outside.

The house is much bigger on the inside now.

In addition, if you go up the Blue Stairs, which are the same dimensions as the Yellow Stairs and Green Stairs, we come up to a brand new floor!! It's not the First 2nd Floor, or the Second 2nd Floor, but the Third 2nd Floor!!!!

The total size of the Third 2nd Floor is 105x76 ft [7980 sq ft].

As a reminder. The original floorplan was only 3180 sq ft. The cumulative size of the house after the 2nd Renovation was 7874 sq ft. This new floor, like the one before it, literally doubles the size of the house.

The Third 2nd Floor features:

a bathroom that is 10x10 ft plus a 6x3 ft alcove (118 sq ft)

1 bedroom sized 5x13 ft (65 sq ft)

1 bedroom sized 6x13 ft (78 sq ft)

4 bedrooms sized 8x10 ft (80 sq ft each; total 320 sq ft)

5 bedrooms sized 5x10 ft (50 sq ft each; total 250 sq ft)

5 bedrooms sized 6x10 ft (60 sq ft each; total 300 sq ft)

16 bedrooms sized 10x10 ft (100 sq ft each; total 1600 sq ft)

18 bedrooms sized 7x10 ft (70 sq ft each; total 1260 sq ft)

a 18x13 ft couch space [234 sq ft]

a 31x33 ft Party Room [1023 sq ft]

a 41x30 ft Party Room [1230 sq ft]

For anyone who is counting, that is 3873 sq ft of just bedrooms; 2253 sq ft of activity space; and an additional 234 sq ft set aside just for couches. (Remember how Renovation #2 had 1588 sq ft of couches?)

Dream clearly learned how to design house space from Ink.

With this renovation, the house now has an additional 368 sq ft in Falsi's Wing; 1570 sq ft in the extended Dining Room Wing; and 7980 sq ft on the Third 2nd floor (for a total of 9918 sq ft of additional space). This brings the house to a grand total of 17,792 sq ft for the whole house.

Next

The next analysis is for Renovation #4.... And once again the Image Cap of 10 has risen to vex me: see you in [Part 3] i guess

It’s fine, I’m FINE. She said it back!!!

Everyone rushing in to watch Parker interrogate Senator Miller was so funny.
