#I'd just die tbh

[art-of-wackylurker]

I guess it's my turn to contribute something to the @starwars-arttrade-2023

A lesson on meditation for @stealingpotatoes because world needs more of Luke's New Jedi Academy, it's a pleasant night, the burning wood crackles nicely and the Force fills them with good vibes (✿◡‿◡) So yea I've decided to do the 'Make them comfy' prompt a liiiiitttleeee differently and, well, that's what came out!

i cannot stop thinking about anissa and marky though [COMIC SPOILERS]

how did he react when he learned what his mother did? just like mark, he lived a lie. he thought his mother was kind and nice — the only thing that is true is that she loved him, but now, he has no idea if he should believe it

and. you've grown up being conditioned to believe that violence is peace, and that kindness is a lie and a weakness. you hurt people. by hurting a person, by destroying him irreparably, you found the boy you love most: your son. and you don't regret it. you hope one day, once he sees him, he'll get it. but you still don't regret it. you can't say you're sorry

marky will grow up without his biological father, because when mark hugs him he can only remember his mother and what she did to him. your father can't love you the way your mom did. you can't love your mother the way your father loved his

the worst part is, that it she hadn't done it, you wouldn't have existed. you wouldn't be here. your father will grow to love you. you will grow to accept each other. but you tend to wonder — if he never sees you as anything else other than your mother's son, then who will you have when everyone else you know dies?

my whole thing with the snape redemption arc (beyond it just being poorly written) and harry's reaction to it is just like. when you're a kid and an adult treats you poorly, that's a really hard grudge to shake. especially later when you're an adult and you look back and you're like "that grown ass man hated me, a kid...he should've known better...i'm an adult now and i know better, i would never treat a kid that way"

there just doesn't exist a calculus in my mind that goes "snape was in unrequited love with my mother - low key caused her death - took his guilt and anger out on children + vaguely protected me and contributed to the war effort = he's a hero and i respect him" for harry. it makes no sense!

snape never actually redeemed himself for the harm he caused harry and other kids. the narrative never even attempts to hold him accountable for that and harry is just like "meh he helped when it counted for these loser ass friendzone reasons" and is fine with it.

self-indulgent because i'm having a Riotously terrible evening pain-wise but i'm very fond of hunter being a waify little chronic illness/pain boy post-canon and like. for a while, just. no one.... notices.....?

not even because he's actively Hiding it, like. he would 100% tell people he's in pain if they asked. it just. doesn't occur to him to share. he'll sometimes quietly withdraw and lay down in the dark to conserve his energy and the others very reasonably assume it's a grief thing.

so they'll sometimes like. knock gently on the door and ask if he wants company, to which sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes it's no. "no" when hunter is in a significant enough amount of pain that he really can't move much & "yes" when he wants to curl up with bad TV shows as a distraction

it could be anyone in the squad who figures out what's going on but i'm gonna go with my bias and say it's luz, on a day when she's having some bad depression/grief/survivor's guilt feelings herself. bc she's still coming to terms with her own death and the loss of her glyph magic and sometimes she is. Sad

hunter having one of those Catastrophic pain days where he's planning to be an unmoving lump under 7 blankets for the entire day. n luz coming in and softly asking if she can lay down with him. which is different from asking if he wants company. hunter would say no to company bc he can't really Perform Friendship right now but he doesn't mind luz being here.

luz climbing under the 7 blankets too. n snuggling up to hunter and wrapping an arm around him. and hunter just like. goes Stiff. like beyond "hm this is mild discomfort" stiffness, his muscles completely lock up and go rigid like he's just been Shot. he doesn't make any sound or protest or flinch away or anything, he just kind of. stops breathing

luz pulls away immediately bc she recognizes that Something Is Very Wrong, i'm guessing she assumes it's a panic response bc hunter has plenty of reason to have issues with physical touch. but then she sees the expression on his face and it clicks and she's like.

hunter. dude. hey. hey. hunter.

do your scars HURT??????

I didn't get it finish my ask I was sleepy so here's the second part

Usopp: |_•)°°°{they're probably talking about me}

Yasopp: I'm just scared. What if I say 'i love you ' and he doesn't say it back? What if he doesn't like me and is seeing me out of pity.

Sanji: that's just something you need to talk to him about. Look the old man may look mean and bitter but he's not you should know that. He'll -

Usopp: YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ME!! YOU'RE TELLING HIM ABOUT THAT TIME I RIPPED MY OVERALLS AND FRANKY HAD TO COVER IT WITH DUCK TAPE!!

Sanji:........................

Yasopp:...................

30 minutes later

Usopp: dad if you feel insecure in the relationship you need to talk to him about it.

Sanji: there's nothing wrong with asking for reassurance. We ask each other for reassurance all the time right babe

Usopp: yeah communication is key to a relationship you can't be scared to talk to your partner you have to rip that bandaid off and tell him how you feel

Yasopp: ok...ok..... never thought you'd be the one giving me advice I always imagined it the other way around.

Usopp: yeah me too

Yasopp:.........he used duck tape??

This is the post btw for the rest of the world who don't know. Didn't reply to this on time (as usual) (I am so sorry)

Absolutely loving Sanji and Usopp being the ones giving him advice because it just makes,,, So much sense. These two are the healthiest thing ever. They talk things out! Like a couple should do! And I adore them.

And duck tape?? Really???

slowly taking more and more steps to not just reduce my phone screentime in general, but also streamline what I look at during that time dramatically. so far I've moved all social media activity to firefox so I don't ever have to see an ad again and removed I believe all discover/news feeds that just happened to come with certain apps/features so I don't passively consume my (algorithmically chosen) news through random inflammatory headlines every time I unlock my phone but rather targeted time I spend watching/reading the proper news (or you know, destiel memes). aside from maybe the instagram feed (that I'm rarely on anyway) I've now pretty much removed all personal algorithm-based experiences from my phone time.

additionally, I'm using my phone in grayscale and power saving mode mostly so I've basically reduced it to the usefulness and appeal of a brick phone (with access only to the clock, camera, gallery, spotify and whatsapp and no notifications except for texts and calls enabled) so if I want to browse the internet I have to go through multiple steps to get there or simply use my computer.

and I have to say- I highly recommend this. people who refuse to get smartphones and insist on using flip/brick phones really are onto something

More fanfics about the first day(s)/weeks of travelling with a new companion because that's got to be awkward. Sole just picks everyone up off the street.

The Mayor of a town finds out you almost accidentally rob him and decides to follow you. A BOS soldier trusts you enough to sleep next to you as you lie awake at night hoping he doesn't find out one of your best friends is a synth. How are you supposed to relax when Piper was adamant about coming along, and Deacon's cracking spy jokes whilst the only fucking reporter in the Commonwealth is eating her breakfast across from you both.

'Cause those first few days with a complete stranger as you're still getting used to the idea of no running water and regular showers has gotta. Frustrate you. Like Sole is stronger than me because I'd go insane. I love the companions with all my heart but if we get trapped in a single room for the entire night when my social battery is low. I'm going to lose it.

More awkward, early days fics where Sole and their companion(s) are getting used to each other's routines. What the fuck do you talk about when there's no new shows or movies or books? How does Sole set boundaries to a companion who doesn't get the hint that Sole needs...Alone time, some nights.

I want Preston getting up when the sun does at 5AM and being like 'Morning! 😁' And Sole throws a fucking pillow at him and goes back to bed.

Like imagine travelling with someone 24/7. And a stranger you found in a bar? Bet, I want a million fics stat. You gotta trust that fucker with your life and you don't even know how old they are. Let me read about it. I bet MacCready fucking snores.

What should I listen to first if I wanna start listening to hip hop/rap?

dis ask is cute; umm well i'm not an expert i'm just a big fan of it but i'd say you could start off from listening to really popular and well-regarded artists like... you know, biggie/pac/dre/snoop what have you, and then spring off from their 'connections'

My ideal Petrigrof endgame would be kind of like the Bubbline route taken in Obsidian: together again, just working through their shit together with to to grow

yeah tbh i did wish they were given room to work things out in their relationship in a relatively normal, non-catastrophic way. i mean, they obviously had their issues, mainly due to miscommunication, but i still stand by the fact that what truly ruined their lives were situations that were outside their control (simon getting cursed and the apocalypse happening). for all that they were/are obsessed with each other or whatever, we can't really ignore the fact that 'letting go' of one another means, on their case, moving on with their lives while knowing that their partner is suffering under a magical curse, like, right now, at this exact moment. i'd say it's a bit hard to just shrug that off, so it's no wonder that they were never able to 'get over' each other

the thing about toei anniversary specials is that while i would like a select few ships to become canon (yes m/f that is pretty much all toei makes canon unless it's like fucking RIDER TIME RYUKI), most of the ones that have the possibility are ones i DO NOT LIKE

[i-ran-into-a-lampost]

Icl season 1 ep 8 of Ultimate Alien makes me feel so bad for Ben bc this mf really pulled 4 all nighters and when Gwen and Kevin finally convince him to sleep he got fucking jumped by Ra'ad, had some weird body sharing situation with him and then got his ass beat by Aggregor, jesus christ man

Fucks sake.
