#we spoke of this a LOT at work after that one tech was murdered and hidden in a wall

hi!👋 hello! kedreeva! i’m going to need to ask you to explain this!!!!

So back in 2009, a lab student named Annie Le was murdered at Yale university. Cameras saw her going on into a building, but not out again and it was like, the eve of her wedding (or close to? I don't remember) so clearly she had places to be and people waiting for her so they immediately started looking and the next day (or so? Anyway on the day of her wedding) they found her body in a recess in a wall, down in the areas where the research animals were kept. It turns out, a tech had killed her, but since there were cameras like EVERYWHERE, he just, I guess, left her there. Well, hid the body where it was. I don't remember how they caught him, but they did. It was a horrifying story. It still is.

And it was a huge news story among the folks at my workplace because, at the time, I was working at a different university, as an animal husbandry technician. As you can imagine this was a kind of intense time to be in that situation. They started offering, like, I'm not gonna say counseling but it was "if you need to talk we would prefer you talk to us about something wrong rather than kill anyone about it" and as techs (even if we were not even the same kind of tech, the killer was a lab tech and we were husbandry techs but I think a lot of people assumed it had been a husbandry tech since she was in an animal area), we were kind of getting the side eye from lab people for weeks afterwards. Like they thought we were gonna go "wow that's a fantastic idea, you're next!" or something, idk. And I mean like, people would freeze when you were alone in a hallway, or turn and walk the other way, or duck into the nearest room and watch you walk past, and they were all being super nice/civil to us when they did have to interact. It was very atypical behavior for lab people. Like not all of them, some of them had always been nice and weren't worried, but some of the people who had been unbelievable dicks previously were walking on eggshells. And the people who had friends in other universities reported this was happening at their jobs, too.

And instead of talking to The Man (because all the higher ups were garbage at the time), we just. talked among ourselves. It was a lot of "I may say I feel like strangling lab people sometimes when they do things that drive me up a wall but I don't MEAN it you know that right" and it also led to group discussions of what would be a theoretical *better* solution to hiding a body than what happened, with clear disdain for doing things like hiding bodies in walls, which is a terrible idea and one we would never do (looking at the people who think we might have decided this was a great idea actually).

Which consequently led to a lot of supervisors and/or managers that happened to overhear us bringing us donuts or arranging pizza for lunch in like, some kind of bid to help us feel appreciated, I guess, so that we wouldn't murder anyone, even though none of us were going to do that anyway. But also none of us were in a position to turn down free donuts or pizza or whatever.

And then after a few weeks, maybe a month or so, people just kind of forgot and moved on and things went back to normal like fifty people hadn't spent every lunch hour for weeks talking quietly among themselves about how human bodies would definitely fit into a carcass disposal barrel or that you'd have to crush hip bones and/or skulls before incineration. Hypothetically.

Like I said, it was a VERY weird time to be at my job, and every time I remember it happening feels like a fever dream. I can't even imagine what it was like at Yale.

And one amang, an Iyrysch man,

Uppone his hoby swyftly ran…

WAIT HANG ON - slamming the brakes on drawing this stupid picture - do you nerds even KNOW the etymology of the word “hobby”? The thing you do for pleasure? The thing you have too many of? The thing you spend too much money on and share with your friends? The thing tumblr probably is to you? Those hobbies?

It comes from a now-kind-of-extinct breed of Irish pony-horse. It was called the Irish Hobby. Supposedly the hobby got its name from the Gaelic word obann, or swift. They definitely were. They’d obann your pants clean off.

Fast tough little bastards, built for rough terrain and renowned for their speed and stamina, hobby horses belonged to the Celts, and their highly annoying style of mounted warfare. but their conquerors liked hobby horses a lot, kept them, used them for themselves, and found them useful enough, despite the fact that they also had famously useful things like mounted knights or horse archers. A lightweight Irish warrior, mounted on a hobby horse, was called a hobelar.

Reportedly and in depictions, hobelars rode without stirrups. Or saddles. Or bridles. Or - well - this is all sounding very improbable, because the hobelars COULDNT have just been charging around basically bare-assed on naked ponies, screaming, and somehow in the process undoing the composure of actual mounted armoured knights. Knights who, I remind you, had stirrups. Stirrups are useful! It’s quite likely the hobelars had some gear. And clothes. and weapons. And the ponies probably had some tack - I am picturing a bellyband that you could at least hang a saddlebag on, and a neck rope for catching the bloody thing, even if not a saddle. But the overall impression, somehow created by people on darling little ponies, was apparently quite striking and fearful.

I mean. God Forbid People Have Hobbies.

Anyway after a while, whatever people became the British had eventually conquered all of the rough terrain that hobbies were best at, and horse archers just got sexier, and mounted knights became aristos, and all the bog and forest people had been subdued, so it was time to sunset the hobelars. but WAIT! Hobby horses are still tremendously fun and appealing! They’re so fast! and you can ride them without a saddle! Sure, they’re not up to the weight of a mounted knight, or indeed a lot of guys… but surely we can still find a use for a hobby or two? In the back garden? Somewhere?

At which point an English king decided to keep hobby horses just for fun. No military application. No further development of the technology. Not for fun. Just as expensive, pleasurable, pets. Just for the joy of the thing.

And that is how hobby (activity done purely for pleasure) comes from hobby horse (small horse) possibly from obann (swift.) they’re very interesting and you should look all this up for yourself! because it sure sounds like Elodie doing a bit, doesn’t it?

Today, Irish Hobbies are functionally nonexistent. References for drawing include the Kerry Bog Pony, the Connemara, and (I personally think) Dartmoors and Exmoors. They’re said to have lent their speed to the Irish Hunter/Sport Horse and from there to the Thoroughbred, but every damn horse in the world claims relation to the Thoroughbred, and they can’t be THAT thoroughly bred.

At any rate - you can never have enough hobbies. Just be glad that yours aren’t expensive beasts with minds of their own, eating their heads off in the pasture! …Unless they are. In which case, you’re part of a proud tradition.

#Killie #this is Killie’s ancestor who occasionally turns up in hallucinations with various ghost horses #like all elements of magical realism in the killieverse he does absolutely NOTHING useful.#your ancestor is neither proud of you nor disappointed in you. he’s riding alongside explaining some thoughts he had at breakfast #performing weird fuckin feats of equitation outside the window while you’re trying to sit through school or waiting in the queue at Greggs #if you wake up in a hospital bed in a bleary moment before consciousness he’s perched next to you chattering complete fucking nonsense #about. like. the stupidest stuff. like he’s just free-associating his thoughts based on a pattern in the ceiling tiles. incredibly annoying #his dialect just close enough to Irish that you can pick out a few words here and there #enough to tell that it’s complete nonsense. but also he’ll just say things like BASED. (possibly he is also visiting miles?)#and occasionally he points out that he did everything you do in your job but barefoot. no stirrups. in the snow. uphill both ways.#which is quite hard to do in a bog since they’re notably quite distinctively flat usually so sometimes he’d have to find a hill and ride up #and down it a few times just to build character. no saddle no bridle no shoes and the Romans were there maybe - and when you object to that #thinking there seems to be a lot of collision of timelines and historical accuracy - he doesn’t speak Irish suddenly . and why would he.#anyway he doesn’t exist and never did. but he’s fun #occasionally turns up to ride alongside you in a race apparently just to prove he can keep up with modern breeds #usually he can surprisingly well but tbf his horse is a ghost. and when he can’t he says well. I’m not a professional like you.#this. is just my hobby. ahahahahahahahahahshahahahahasha #and with that I get back on my hobby horse and ride away

I think Sarek and Amanda would both be accepting of Spock's homosexuality if he made them aware of it, but he'd still not want Kirk around them because they'd make it weird in ways completely unrelated to Spock's partner being a man. Any partner of Spock's would have to deal with the most freak4freak parents in law of all time while Spock silently sits nearby or leaves while everyone's distracted.

#star trek memes #spirk #Sarek & Amanda want to hear Everything about what led kirk to their son and at some point it starts to feel less like familial interest and #more intellectual curiosity which is a weird vibe #Sarek is trying to see what is appealing about Kirk (and in so doing he looks for things that remind him of Amanda)#While Amanda is trying to get past his captain's exterior and delve into the warmth and emotion he feels for Spock and determine #why he'd find THAT appealing (thinking of Sarek)#I think even if Kirk got irritated with them on Spock's behalf it wouldn't lead to them changing they'd just take it as another factor #Neither gives the vibe of being easily flustered

you always land on all fours

#umineko #umineko spoilers #ikuko hachijo #ikukos turn for a more serious piece... the old man has reigned for too long #now. INCREDIBLY LONG INCOHERENT TAGS RANT INCOMING FAIR WARNING HAS BEEN GIVEN:#it makes me so so sad how little discussion there is about specifically ikuko because imho she fits so neatly into a lot of the more #overarching Big Themes of the game in a way that i have not ever really seen people take notice of or point out in a meaningful way #like even just off of the top of my head. the significance of names and what it means to go by a name that's Not Yours (she has like 4+)#what it Means to be a witch how it represents a person's deepest insecurities and flaws & how its at its core a coping mechanism #the fact that it takes two to create a universe and trying to do it on your own anyways has the capacity to bring you intense misery #^ (how she's shown to be extremely dismissive of her own work and skill until a collaborator comes into her life and helps/encourages her)#and even the family/patriarchy/misogyny stuff that is so prevalent in the rest of the game comes back around to her. even her Only Friend #(young&stupid atp to be fair) remarks that shes Weird for being unmarried + the little she does say about her past invites the question of #to what extent her self-image stems from her family deeming her a freak outcast & effectively disowning her while celebrating her brothers #and i have lot in my mind about the witch thing specifically because i think her particular situation is very reflective of what umineko's #entire magic system and fantasy facet as a whole is meant to represent for an individual. from what little we see of (what is presumably)#her Real personality she is shown to be deeply self conscious in a way that is JARRINGLY diametrically opposed to both 1.) what we see in #featherine and 2.) what we see when she is acting as a Public Figure. because both of the above are very much purposeful acts that she is #putting on in order to obfuscate her true self. and i have always been very resolute & adamant about not totally equating her to featherine #not only because im very firmly in the camp of “featherine is the avatar of the Pen Name & tohya is part of her too” but also very much b/c #i feel very strongly that the stark differences between the two are very centrally relevant to her character & her psyche. as is the case #with most other witches featherine's personality traits serve to reveal/magnify a lot of ikukos inner workings by playing on her #insecurities/reversing them e.g. ikuko being very quick to downplay her skill/achievements becomes featherine being the COMPLETE opposite #to the point where she barely registers even other witches as living beings rather than just fun touys. BUT even though i do champion the #ikuko/featherine separation so hard i ALSO think it is purposefully relevant that at first glance the line between them seems so blurry #her introduction implying a more nebulous separation between her reality/fantasy counterpart is i think is an intentional move on her part #like it is part of the front she is putting up when acting as the Author. as opposed to Ikuko the person who we (in a way ironically very #similar to the way that the Real Battler is presumably only shown during the boatscene) only very briefly get to see take up screentime #which even on a meta level lines up very well with her apparent underlying nature as a like. extremely private largely reserved/shy person #hit tag limit but if by some miracle anyone is still reading this thank you... please see ikuko with the love she deserves... ok ily byeee

I know it’s a semi popular belief that Padmé dated before Anakin but I’d say the interpretation comes from the illusion that she’s had more freedom than Anakin growing up and less restrictions, but that’s not really accurate. Padmé might have been more fortunate than Anakin but she had as many restrictions on herself as he did as a Jedi. She was the kind of person that didn’t have any time to waste and bypassed anything she deemed unnecessary in favour of pursuing her career. This same Padmé wouldn’t have entangled herself with people if she wasn’t serious about them, so the idea of her having passing fancies and short term relationships doesn’t really add up with the way her character is built. She’s a well known dutiful person who always prioritized her career over her desires. And this is leaving out the part that nobody ever made her desire them before Anakin as well, hence why she was super occupied thinking about her duties and responsibilities instead of dreaming of her happily ever after. That dream only became reality when Anakin came back into her life, and we already know that nobody was good enough to catch her eye before him.

Anakin was the first and only man that made her break her protocols to marry him because he was the only man that made her fall in love and reaffirm herself as person who could live, love and laugh a little. And even with Anakin, Padmé attempted to deny his love and their relationship for quite awhile. Saying this same Padmé who’s super strict and oriented about her reputation and career would get herself into a relationship for someone she’s not super serious about or want a family with? It just doesn’t make sense. Plus the fact that Padmé wanting a family doesn't mean she's the type to try out different relationships till she meets “the one", that's quite the opposite of her personality. 1.) because as I mentioned above, she didn’t have time to waste on passing fancies and frankly didn’t care cause no one intrigued her and 2.) because of her passion for her duty and lack of interest in anyone around trying to woo her. Sola in the AOTC novel literally had to force Padmé to think about having a family because she's so focused on career and Padmé tells her that she's satisfied that way despite that she does desire more to her life than what she had at that point, and she only completely changes her mind until she met Anakin again. This was the whole point of Padmé feeling lonely before marrying Anakin, it is indicative of the fact that Padmé only cared for her responsibilities and obligations because she didn’t feel that connection with anyone that she felt with Anakin.

Excerpt from Queen’s Hope:

#star wars #padmé amidala #anakin skywalker #anidala #pro anidala #anakin x padmé #anakin and padmé #skyberrie #sw novels #star wars: queen’s hope #star wars: attack of the clones novelization #*in the link*#made this post because i feel like people are okay with saying anakin was a virgin when he married padmé (which he def was)#but they get uncomfortable when someone points out it’s the same for padmé??#like it’s a problem if she’s a virgin herself as if that takes away from her character or experience as a fully established woman??#or that it’s not girlboss enough to be a virgin???#idk #sometimes it feels like they want padmé to be the experienced one while anakin is a inexperienced vulnerable virgin???#what kind of logic is that??#like do y’all see that as some sort of power imbalance and secretly dig it??#like one thing should be clear that both anakin and padmé were demi for one another #she was anakinsexual just as much he was padmésexual #like don’t get me wrong i’m not saying that her not being a virgin takes away from anidala’s love #i hate the obsession with female virgin purity too #but like it’s also not wrong if padmé is one???#(which she canonically is)#idk why people talk about it like it’s wrong if she doesn’t have experience and her first and last was anakin #people have this weird obsession with headcanoning that anakin had no lovers before padmé (which again is true)#but hate to see proof that it’s the same for padmé lmao #don’t know what to tell you 🤷🏾‍♀️

Alternate timeline where Stanley doesn’t accidentally ruin Ford’s project but he still doesn’t get into Geek Life University bc some kid showed up with a baking soda volcano

#Happens every time I’m telling ya #gravity falls #stanford pines #stanley pines #a tale of two stans #Y’all I just thought of smth fucked up #Remember that baby pic where ford was reaching towards the yellow triangle?#What if bill’s always been there #Cuz perpetual motion machines aren’t scientifically possible (think it’s bc entropy or smth to do w/ thermodynamics)#Ford couldn’t have made one—no one can #Either he was scamming them or (if what I said abt bill above is correct) *he* fucked w/ Ford’s machine to make it weird #Bc ford getting into a top school means he has more opportunities which means a better chance of getting the portal built #And then when Ford starts being like “screw your cipher” bill’s like “oh you think you can just *leave* me; I *made* you sixer!”#“I’m the reason you got into that fancy pants college! You honestly think you could’ve built that machine #We may be a team but I’m the mvp—always have been”#Okay I know it’s far-fetched but what is the gf fandom if not full of far-fetched theories (ain’t even a theory really more like an excuse #for angst and also bc of the fact that Ford invented Physics Breaker 5000 was slwsys a sticking point for me FOR SOME REASON)#Like I truly don’t know why that of all things bothers me #I really did just devolve into fanfic in the tags of a shitpost—oh and ig ford got into west cost in that au/version of events #shitpost

Guys he lives in there (click for better quality PLEEASS)

#lemon demon #spirit phone #cabinet man #my art #I think i did a good job with the hands in this but they definitely look a little off #the composition is kinda weird too but changing it would change the entire drawing and i like this drawing #I see people drawing cabinet man as either just a box with a screen on it or the most detailed shaped thing ever so I went in the middle #it's definitely not perfect because I didn't know perspective stuff AT ALL when I made this.#also on the left one it's way too wide it wouldn't need to be that thick it could fit everything if it were like 3/4 the width #I mean my only real world reference point was a modern one without the crt screen so maybe not but I think it'd be fine #if i draw something like this again (which i won't soon because this is still getting notes) I'd put some dimension in the screen #maybe find a reference image

Narrative Foils

Based off of This Post

#isat spoilers #in stars and time spoilers #isat #in stars and time #4c fanart #The nice thing about being the same size is that you can steal each others clothing #Which I imagine happens fairly often with these two #At least until Siffrin finally talks to Loop about ruining their shirts whenever they get mad #Also help. I sat here for a solid 10m trying to figure out if I should give Loop Pants if the whole post is just about the T-Shirts #Because they're canonically just? Naked? And no one comments on this?#I mean they've got Stellar skin don't get me wrong (bu dum tss)#But that's a little weird no?#But then again. It feels weirder to JUST be wearing a T-Shirt #And I imagine it'd be a little annoying to have to steal and/or buy clothing every loop #But come on. The Universe couldn't do them a solid and toss a sheet or something down with their divine intervention? That's just rude.#It was clearly within it's power to drop other artifacts down. So at this point it just feels like spite is all I'm saying #Or a giant sign of 'You're not allowed to hide anymore' both in terms of emotional vulnerability and literal sense. They glow after all #Anyways. Slapped a pair of generic pants on the idiots cause I didn't feel like spending any longer than I already did on the meme #Get pantsed #Wait no

You're still standing off to the side. Somehow, center stage has shifted from under your feet without you realizing, and you're standing in the wings, performing to no one.

ALSO being on bluesky is reminding me i used to be on social media bc it was kind of fun. i used to be less scared of strangers and of talking to ppl. i have already rambled about this at length other times but i am thinking abt it again relative to necrotech99 and how excited i am abt it. it makes me wanna talk abt my stuff again.... (not TOO much bc i don't like unduly influencing quest suggestions/audience participation lol. like one thing i want to avoid from the tvrn era is it was really fun to answer so many behind-the-scenes questions, but i did end up eventually feeling like it created a situation where like... ppl who followed me on social media were having a rly different experience w the story, and had way more info, than ppl just following the thread, and i don't love cultivating/encouraging that kind of divide?)

anyway. thinking about that again. bc i used to talk abt tvrn all the time and promo it like crazy. and i even remember sometimes thinking to myself "damn where did i get all that energy bc lately promoing stuff/remembering to boost things online is such a drag and a chore and i hate it." and now that im on the necrotech grind im like oh yeah it was easy for me to remember to promo it bc i was.... genuinely promoing it... like i was genuinely eager to re-reblog stuff over and over and get more eyes on it bc i wanted really really badly for ppl to read and suggest!!!!! vs w work stuff a lot of times it's like. "[HEAVING A SIGH] i guess i should re-reblog stuff for Engagement and Visibility and Reach" in an abstract "maybe this will help me out jobwise? maybe someone will see my stuff and want to hire me, or find my itch and buy some games?" vs the DIRECT "i am hyping this up bc i want ppl to look at it now now NOW NOW NOW NOW :D NOW" that i feel when im rly into a quest

#vs also it feels. fun and safe to Want something to blow up on bsky #on twitter i literally was like. scared of things getting too much engagement #i got to a point where i was like. NO MORE PEOPLE. I DONT WANT ANY MORE PEOPLE #and even on here sometimes im still a bit jumpy #but on bsky im actively Trying to rebuild which is. freeing in a weird way

#I’ve put off rewatching it bc I get this weird thing where I’m terrified to rewatch it #Bc I think that somehow I’ve fooled myself into liking rebels and thinking it’s good #And that if I rewatch it I’m gonna realize how bad it is #Which is just? Wrong and weird?#I just need to get over the first few episodes and then the feeling will pass (probably)#(Who fuckin knows at this point)#(Send help please)#insert original post tags here #star wars rebels

do you ever get hate? I'm a new dark content writer and got my first anon who obviously has conflicted views. I guess how do you cope with it? Do you just delete and move on? Figured I'd ask the best of the best this question 💙

i still get the occasional death threat from time to time, but it does kind of taper out as your blog grows and people realize they can not dissuade you from your sinful, hedonistic ways. my recommendation is always to delete it as soon as possible (out of sight out of mind etc.) unless it happens to be particularly funny or you have something funny to say in response. otherwise, it really isn't worth it. arguing with people on the internet is a frustrating and exhausting way to spend your time and we have better things to do (writing fucked up porn).

#i have noticed a recent strain of #((and this gets a little dark so warnings for sensitive content ahead))#hate anons relying more on the “”you're being disrespectful to SA survivors >:(“” thing than usual #which bothers me a lot #mostly because they always get so weird when it's pointed out that a lot of dark content writers /are/ trauma survivors too #and revert to that whole “”well it's fine if those people do it but no one else >:(“” thing #which is just #endlessly frustrating to me #you're essentially saying that people have to bare their entire soul on a public platform to write fanfiction #like bethany i don't KNOW you #and it's not your place to ask people if their lives have been sufficiently bad enough to earn your approval #but trying to say that to them would be kind of useless #and thus we stew in silence #maybe i'll use it as think piece fodder one day #so yeah anyway just delete them #sometimes the simplest solution is also the best #personal #anon ask

we've read about dick and tim being pathetic, but I wanna know the strange, stoic way Damian would be pathetic for reader if you're up for it :) I love your writing!!!

Points at camera like I'm on a gameshow! You, dear reader are lucky you came to the right blog!!!

So, we all know what cats are like when they like someone, right?? Just, following them around constantly. They don't want pets, they don't want to get picked up, they just want to watch you from a distance of five to twenty feet. Anyway, that's Damian!

He's in love with you, he needs you, he wants to keep you, but he has his pride!! Well, for a while at least. He's clingy, of course but he just... pretends he isn't?? It doesn't really work after the first few times. Pressing kisses to your forehead and holding your hand. And he'll do it while he's glaring at you.

Now, if you break up with him or reject him, you are going to see true brattiness. Monstrously bratty. How dare you? How dare you think you can leave him, reject him? He's the heir to the Al Ghul and Wayne dynasties. He gives you everything. And you don't accept it?

...Okay, you thought he'd stomp off after that. He's not leaving?? He's just... sitting outside your house...?? Why the hell is he glaring at you through your window???? It's not your fault????? Damian, however, is absolutely certain it is your fault. He will sit there through rain and snow, deliver you gifts and takeout, and wait sadly and grumpily till you take him back. And I thought he was impatient!

Unfortunately, while you saw him as a cat, he thought the same with you. While you see him as tame, he thinks of you as some wild alley cat that needs to be caught for it's own good. He just needs to slowly acclimate you to him and you guys will be right as rain. Maybe some treats will make you like him more? He'll figure it out, that he's confident of. Don't tell him he's being silly, you will just make things worse.

#sophie speaks #sophie answers #yandere batfam #he is impatient btw he probably breaks in when you're not looking #if this goes on too long things start getting even weirder but I'm not entirely sure yet what it looks like yet #but it gets WEIRD #hes a slow burn ive said it before #hes just fucking weird #points at a character i like: autism rizz #ive got so many versions of him in my head which are kinda conflicting #but i think this is how i think I'm characterising him?? how it seems to be falling at least #did i post that thing where he locks you in a cage but he cant get you to love him so you're both just upset and stuck together??#i think i did it was one of the alphabets

Harding: Oh wow Taash, you lifted that like it was nothing

Taash: You gotta lift with your legs! I got some strong legs under me for support

Harding: Oh I know how strong your legs are, we talked about it last night

Taash: What? No we didn’t, we didn’t even meet last night

Harding: oh Taash, sure we did! We were specifically talking about how strong your legs are and to prove it you held my head between your thighs and asked me to try to get out, which of course I couldn’t! And then we took this weird boat that sails on land and….. Uh. and….

Rook: Harding are you describing a dream again?

Harding:

Taash: She’s trying to jump into the fade!

Rook: Stop her!

One thing I love about that scene is how casually SQQ pushes Binghe around and manhandles him. Book 2 was heavily defined by his complete terror of Luo Binghe, and now all that fear is just gone. Binghe is even enraged with jealousy, but it doesn’t even threaten him anymore. Nothing has changed but his perception of the situation and it makes all the difference. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

that's so true!! I think that really says something about how far they've come, especially taking into account the two previous scenes. like you said, Shen Qingqiu spends so much of book two terrified that Luo Binghe wants to kill him, but by now he's figured out Binghe's feelings for him and is realizing that Binghe doesn't actually want to hurt him. before the Tent Shenanigans, there's the scene where they're fighting before SQQ's soul gets yoinked out of the plant body, and then there's Holy Mausoleum arc. there's a lot to unpack in their fight in the plant body but I think most relevant is that SQQ is less Scared and more Pissed Off, and as many people have pointed out, Binghe did not intend to actually hurt him in that scene, he was just trying to scare him because he thought he was fulfilling a role SQQ wanted him to play. and he was Also Pissed Off.

and then there's the Holy Mausoleum, which is just. so much. Holy Mausoleum I love you, best arc in the whole damn series. but SQQ spends most of that arc carrying Binghe's unconscious body around and protecting him, and they have their Moment when they're both sobbing at each other. at this point, SQQ is really coming to understand Binghe's feelings for him and that Binghe doesn't truly want to hurt him. plus this scene in the tent starts with Binghe kissing him and SQQ snapping at him to kneel and Binghe fucking DROPPING to his knees! this might be the first point in the story where they are truly Equals, especially in SQQ's understanding of things. Binghe might be the terrifyingly powerful demon emperor protagonist, but SQQ has the authority to shove Binghe around and the security in knowing he's not going to be dismembered for it

so yeah, he can manhandle Binghe as much as he likes! Binghe even enjoys it, even if he's also angry that someone else is daring to look at Shizun

#asks #anonymous #they're still very dysfunctional at this point <3 #but they're getting CLOSE to being functional #or at least as functional as these two can get #i saw someone say this was the point when they're at their most equal #because it's after sqq acknowledges that binghe is in love with him (and therefore isn't going to kill him)#but BEFORE he acknowledges his own feelings #so he hasn't yet assigned all his weird baggage about being in a gay relationship with the protagonist to their relationship #like later on once he's confessed we see his issues about like. ''i can't top the protagonist!'' and all his other internalized homophobia #but he hasn't acknowledged his own feelings at this point #so he's more comfortable bossing binghe around #like ordering him to kneel and seriously scolding him for being disobedient #which like. binghe clearly enjoys. a LOT. he likes being scolded and bossed around by sqq #and i think sqq is aware that it's a Sex Thing for binghe #but he hasn't acknowledged that it might also be a sex thing for him too lol #because he hasn't acknowledged that the attraction goes both ways yet #so he can snap at binghe and shove him around and SIT ON HIM but it's fine because it's not like it's a sex thing for HIM #<- he is a buffoon #anyway this is my dom sqq agenda #i think i've gotten off track. um. where was i.#anyway yeah it's really nice seeing that he's not scared of binghe anymore :')

The issue with Mike and Peter is that Mike masks to the extreme and Peter wouldn’t know what a mask is if he tried.

#the monkees #peter tork #mike nesmith #torksmith #micky dolenz #davy jones #I’m not in the monkees fandom but like #everything I see with them is basically just Mike rigidly masking and kind of getting pissed/feeling weird about peter cause he doesn’t #I could be wrong #feel free to let me know #educate me #like that thing where Mike is like ‘Peter doesn’t care about people not liking him if he doesn’t like them #then also adding #‘but he’s bad at getting people to like him #combined with him being very stubborn and being the biggest hippie to ever hippie #he’s seems to be the foil to Mike in that Peter doesn’t care about rules point blank #he’ll outright reject them and be happy about it #which seems to be something Mike can’t really fathom???I don’t know #like that interview where they ask all the guys what they’d be doing if the show hadn’t blow up/got canceled or whatever #and Peter just responses with ‘go back to village and be a folk singer’#like he doesn’t care to a certain extent about stuff that he doesn’t deem important and that like pisses mike off/makes him feel weird #idk maybe I’m misreading Mike cause I know he apparently got more like open and eccentric with age #but still #it seemed like to me that he always kinda kept the mask close for comfort #obviously to protect himself from the sisphyean hellscape of the monkees but also because maybe he felt anxious about actually letting it go #does any of this make sense?
