#and love redefined them

[raymurata]

So who's your most problematic one?

Okay. So I've done Alec, Kelp, and Oak, so really the only one left is Tarlyn, who I honestly think is indeed my most problematic guy (gender neutral)

First of all, he's dead. Best get this out of the way. He is doomed by the narrative and bitches would die mad about it.

Then, let's talk about "guy (gender neutral)". He's an nb amab character who never questioned his gender and therefore used he/him all his life, so basically we're all misgendering him somehow so this is problematic.

His whole story is dark and edgy and awfully problematic. This sad wet rag of a boy covered in glitter never had a break; he was tormented by his mother his whole life and he never stopped loving her.

And that's not even touching on his actions yet. This anxious pixie nightmare boy is a spoiled LIL BITCH who thinks (or at least acts) like he's larger than life and better than everyone because that's the only way he can cope with his loneliness, looking at everyone as if they are beneath him. He is an arrogant bastard who genuinely thinks his nobility means he is entitled to his luxury, and that his intelligence makes him superior, and that his command of magic makes him deserving of accolades and applause and praise. But that's just to cover up his abysmal lack of self esteem, his vulnerability and his need for connection.

He is never nice to other people unless they're of higher status than him, or important in some way, otherwise he is either catty and rude or just uninterested and aloof. He unknowingly yearns for someone to love him (granted, abuse has made him incapable of identifying, let alone giving love), but whenever someone is nice in any way, he can't believe it is real and reads it as interest, as them wanting something in return. He reduces everyone into shrewd social-climbers in his eyes (thus insulting them) bc that's what his family is.

He insults his servants, he wears blood jewelry (and a bunch of it), he is vain and petty and snobbish and finicky, he uses magic to spy on people, he never prepared a single meal in his entire 150 years of life, he was over 100 years old when he started questioning whether it was really true that short-lived races are inferior to elves. He is a poor little meow meow born and raised and abused by multimillionaire right wing conservatives. My boy Tarlyn would vocally defend Trump in a modern au, what more do you need me to say? He is Problematic.

He spends a lot of time overthinking and questioning his family in his mind, but he never actually does anything to change shit.

Negative intervention wizard all the way. He doesn't start bullying anyone, but his friends do and they count on his magic to execute it, and he delivers. He was witness to {redacted}, designed a destructive magical item to be used by foot soldiers in an attack against the neighbouring nation, witnessed workers being gravely injured in his family's mines, and possibly even more! What other shit will we discover Tarlyn did?? The horrors are not over yet weeee!

And then, to escape all this shit, this extremely romantic asexual bitch (who needs to like someone to enjoy sex with them) seeks out sex with randos!! Because he is so lonely and he copies his jackass friends and his jackass brother and he is a people pleaser and he doesn't know how to set boundaries.... But he is so intelligent he convinces himself love is not real (he's never fucking seen it! Only in fiction! So it must!!! Be!!! Fake!!!!) and that he does want sex, when in reality he wants kisses and cuddles.... And he keeps getting in (or remaining in) these situations where he just proves it to himself that people only want to use him/his body/his magic/his position (whether that's true or not, he always manages to see it that way), thus confirming his cynical expectations and keeping himself miserable.

And that's not mentioning {redacted}.

Tarlyn wins my Problematic OC of the Decade Award!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

was it casual when i had a panic attack at the thought of you dying was it casual when you risked your entire carrier just to feed me lunch was it casual when you were willing to die protecting me even though you wouldn't accomplish any of the goals you devoted yourself to was it casual when i spent so many nights rolling around in deep thought about whether you think of me like i do about you was it casual when i wished for you upon a shooting star was it casual when i refused to let you continue your way down a path of self-destructive loneliness even though you wanted me to was it casual when you needed to kill me and only me to grow stronger and be entirely untethered from your past but you just couldn't was it casual when i preferred to bear your pain and hatred and die fighting you as opposed to giving up on you was it casual when i could trade blows with you (read your heart) even though your supposed wife couldn't was it casual when i was your one and only was it casual when the hands that we blew off of each other bore the evidence of our cosmic connection was it casual when you cried your first tears of relief and happiness after you lost to me was it casual when you kept in touch with me but not with your wife was it casual when we fought and laughed and became inseparable was it casual when i can't exist without you was it casual when i put all my goals on hold because how could i focus on them when i can't even save you was it casual when you were my main motivation for training to become infinitely stronger was it casual when i'd remain a fool my entire life if being smart meant that i had to give up on you was it casual when you know my heart i yours was it casual when

we need more of sirius finally breaking up with remus and being free to be a whore with barty🙏

okay here's the thing. sirius actually WANTS to wait. like wolfstar get together kinda young and for obvious reasons i think sirius would be very nervous to trust someone else with his body. and while sirius knows that he's very classically beautiful he has this aversion to sexualising himself. remus is very patient & understanding & would literally never push sirius to do something he doesn't want to do, so wolfstar have this very nonsexual relationship that is making zero progress on that front.

the problem is that sirius kinda needs someone to demonstrate what normal sexuality looks like. enter barty 'corruption kink' crouch jr stage left. whatever the reason for the wolfstar breakup, sirius is spiralingggggg & determined to like. the most harmful things he can think of, & once barty hears the rumor that sirius black is a virgin he is determined to be the one to take it. this is sirius' first time directly confronting the fact that someone wants to fuck him: remus had never been explicit about it so as not to make sirius uncomfortable, but barty quite literally walks up to him and says i'd like to fuck you. sirius is doing everything he can to distance himself from who he was with remus so he does. they (of course) get veryy toxic once they start having sex: sirius lets barty do whatever he wants because he doesn't care very much about himself and because it's one of the only forms of validation he can get, and barty gets off on turning the former virgin into a slut. they have zero boundaries and sirius def does some things he heavily regrets later, but the sex is good.

meanwhile remus is SUFFERING seeing sirius covered in hickeys and in his third detention of the week for getting caught fucking in a classroom. remus ofc thinks it's because sirius didn't trust him, or maybe he's just sad that sirius has let all of his boundaries go, but mostly he feels possessive. he's always wanted to fuck sirius, but seeing someone else do it drives him insane, because it was supposed to be him. personally i do think remus would be running thru gryffindor tower a) because it's his god-given right as a nerd w a huge dick and b) to prove to sirius that he's a man with needs! it very effectively makes sirius feel bad for not 'satisfying' remus when they were together.

the reality of it is sirius didn't want to give remus the power to hurt him by having sex with him, but he really doesn't care if barty does, because the core act of having sex with barty is harming himself, in a way. if/when wolfstar gets back together sirius wouldn't be the same sexually w remus because he respects their relationship and wants to do it in the non-toxic way

President Snow being so obsessed with his hauntingly covey ex toxic situationship that he inadvertently brings about his own demise bc he just refuses to properly handle the threat that is district 12 for 64/65 years is insane like imo haymitch should’ve been the last straw!

Sketchbook dump of my beloved girls while I remember how to draw them again 💖 it’s been too long

One of my favorite flavors of bsd fics is (secretly?) established sskk with tragic, pining losers skk. Like sskk will be like damn, so young. Remember when we were like that?

And someone (probably chuuya) will be like stfu i know every single embarrassing thing you've ever done. You dumbasses were still severing limbs and stabbing each other at the point in your relationship where dazai and i were already at the teasing banter stage.

Dazai very conveniently appears to remind everyone that his coat is out of commission due to an angry chibi with a knife and a poorly timed joke at lunch<3

Having a loved one describe to you the way they've described you to their other loved ones when you aren't there is game changing. One of my favorite people in every single goddamn universe told me that when they told their brother about me they described me as

"Tall, with crazy dyed curly hair" as well as a whole other host of things that I can't remember specifically and don't want to risk putting words in their mouth (although I do think the words smart, hot, cool, and punk also were said? I can't remember)

Which like. My 5' 7" ass (170 cm) who has wanted to be "actually tall" and has always wanted "real curls" instead of the weird wavy/curly mess that I try to make behave into "real curls" who got bullied hard for a lot of things was sitting there like. On the verge of tears from how loved I was. I feel like even now typing this out their description is too high of praise, but I trust them with all my being so I'm trying to believe them.

To be loved is to be seen the way you've always wanted to be. To be loved is for someone to share how much they love you with the other beings they love.

I’d gladly break the laws of physics for you, dear. I’d crumple up space like paper ball. I’d pluck stars from a black hole to craft. a bouquet and I’d show up at front door in a suit of dark matter with a dwarf star lapel. I’d sweet talk Newton until he makes an exception just for us, so as we glide across your kitchen floor to the scratchy sound of your radio our inertia carries us forever and a day.

[steampoweredstrawberry]

Why is it so funny to me that Frankenstein (the novel) was a vessel through which Mary Shelley sought to explore her own fears and anxieties about entering motherhood (and the potential of letting down her child/her child bringing harm unto others and it being her fault for not raising them better), and yet she somehow made her titular character the deadbeat dad of all time?
