common problem i have w/ a lot of fanon is that people tend to heavily overestimate how attentive dean is to sam's issues/needs. dean is often fucking clueless abt what sam is going thru lol. outside of the immediate strain it places on their relationship and their ability to do their Job.

i see your post about leo being relieved that hes trans because he learned his stripes would go away and i raise you: leo, who spends his entire childhood in fear because donnie told him that he will lose his stripes when he is younger, only for them all to realize hes trans when they dont

Oh…Leo having so much value in his looks and especially his stripes because they’re what make him stand out the most, and in turn it helps solidify himself a role in the team as the “Face Man.” Sure, he absolutely thinks himself good looking with or without the stripes, but his stripes are striking and he knows it, and they mean more to him than just looks anyway. Knowing all this time that his stripes were going to fade and yet still taking on his title and still being as confident as he is - imagine he’d already come to the conclusion that his worth on the team, in his family, was always on a timer.

Then that timer goes away. And he’s left with relief and tells himself that hey, he’d have been just as cool looking without the stripes anyway! But…he’s glad to keep them. Even if his role isn’t quite just “Face Man” anymore, his stripes are a part of him.

And it’s been really scary to think that someday he’d look in the mirror and see a part of himself missing.

i feel like i need to go back and rewatch the entire 2 hour stream i need to experience it again

ive rewatched it so many times already. my favourite videos are the ones where they're just having fun, and that's what this stream is. there's a loose goal, a bucket of good vibes, and 'challenges' (incentives) to keep themselves entertained and uping the ante. it was fucking brilliant. what an excellent day.

Seeing how men go trough life passively not aware how much the patriarchy benefits them and being coddled well into adulthood and not being able to complain lest you be considered a bitter cunt who’s making it up makes me insane actually

li lianhua who continues to carry the same body through three lives, he reminds me of the poem crossroads: "my body, now that we will not be travelling together much longer/ i begin to feel a new tenderness towards you, very raw and unfamiliar/ like what i remember of love when i was young";

sometimes when I think about why he kept running away from fang duobing with lotus tower it makes sense because to look at a boy brimming with life and youth, with an age he never lived— how could a grave dug out with the hands of a ghost be a suitable place for him? (later he thinks, how long could the heart of the dead sustain home for a life?)

llh personally cleans himself out to make the lotus tower a shrine instead; without lianhua, lianhua lou is just a stone imprint of who he was, a space to declare his absence. (as opposed to fang duobing who carries yangzhouman and his swordplay, unknowingly he made him the site of his presence unlike any others.)

if the only way to cure bicha is to forget, to physically enact the meng po's soup and seek reincarnation within life, wouldn't the soul remember what the heart forgot, and make the body feel in fragments, touched off by sights and signs? I think as long as the body exists, he will at least remember the love for his own life (as opposed to that of others) which he found within fang duobing's devotion and that's him being an eternal site of fang duobings presence as much as the latter is his. which is why the ending with him wearing that fluffy coat makes me feel like fdb remains smeared over and within him.

I've been holding this dumb genshin theory for months now and I need to dump it somewhere and I've been too terrified to send it to anyone so here you go dash;

The above could also be interesting in terms of what visions are, visions are given to people who are recognized by probably Celestia, or at least something that isn't the archon, and supposedly 'giving them a chance to attain godhood'. If this ends up being true, then visions are an absolutely brilliant tool from Celestia. Because we're told by Miko that they're given to people whose ambitions reach the gods, and they're manifestations of that. The loading screen tells us that Visions are granted when a person's wishes reaches the gods. In buddhism (which is where the samsara idea is probably taken from), to reach enlightenment and break out of reincarnation, you're supposed to follow a 'middle way' and clear the mind of attachment and any strong feelings/wishes (ambitions). Visions aren't a blessing, they're a shackle, a manifestation of something you'd have to get rid of to break free from Celestia's control, but the promise of attaining godhood while under the guise that gods are the highest being will naturally keep you from examining other perspectives. Instead of something internal, the Vision makes it an all or nothing situation, locking people out of getting on the middle way, because as long as they have the Vision, they have their ambition (is some part of the energy that makes up people and their memories stored in there instead of the leylines and you need close proxmity to access it?), but the moment they get rid of it, we've seen in Inazuma what happens to those.

I might bitch and moan about writing too much sometimes but I'm absolutely having the time of my life throwing these fictional men in so many situations.

the way people respond to the "omg you people cant do anything" tweet with "holy shit this rewired me" "fixed me" "sometimes i need to remember this tweet and i immediately get better" makes me so mad. im glad it helps you man. it just irritates me cuz more often than not im the people who cant do anything. at least being mocked and shamed functions to motivate you out of your problems. this is so healthy for all of us

Many of you, guys, perceive Lithuania the same way English colonizers perceived Indian women in sari. Shall I tell you this story?

Like, not that you aren't "allowed" to like Bad Art™ (and I do, in fact, like a lot of art that I think is bad), but there's a certain kind of isolation that comes from thinking something is genuinely good and incredibly meaningful and that it excels artistically, and coming across a bunch of people who think it's just. Bad. Who do not see the meaning in it and who think it is artistically lacking, if not bankrupt. Because if you hate something acclaimed/popular, then you're just contrary. But if you unironically love something that's widely-disparaged, you're "cringe" which, for some inexplicable reason, people consider to be the worst kind of personal sin imaginable.
