#but i fear i'm in for a disappointment

[marietheran]

there's a party coming up on saturday and I'm getting unreasonably excited given how in all probability it's going to be as terrible as last time. when I hid in the toilet until I was able to leave. and that was like after only an hour.

Honestly how am I supposed to deal with the possibility of buddie actually going canon next season? You mean I might actually see them acknowledge their feelings for each other? I might see them holding hands or god forbid kiss each other. *screams*

Like huh?! I come from the anime fandom where shipping hc queer characters in popular genres is pure delusion most of the time. You just know the creator will never make them canon. Buddie however... it's possible. Like the writers could do it. Will probably do it. And I think I will absolutely lose it when they do it.

They're going to blow something up in season 5

fearne watching the dragon fly towards imogen and laudna and her screaming "DADDY NO!!" and him slashing into them, saying "I don't need your influence on my daughter"??????? that's literally lesbianism................

milex and 'withnail & i'

i finally watched the queer cult/feel-good/feel-bad film 'withnail & i' (1987, dir. bruce robinson) last night, mentioned by milex in an interview in 2008. there were three bits that i found to be... 'particularly puppety'

aside from what he says, can you spot the wolves there? withnail is giving a breathtaking performance, but the animals don't seem really interested... a thing that @misskattylashes cleverly spotted - 'you thought the wolves would be impressed' (the jeweller's hands)

quick airing of grievances for something that ultimately isn't a real problem

but Wah its obviously going to be one of my two parents (or both !) taking me to get surgerized and driving me home (if i manage to get it scheduled...🧿🧿🧿) and...! idk...! i wish i still had any irl friends in the vicinity that cld be there...

parents are begrudgingly accepting of it because well it's already in motion, it's My Life and Body, but they obviously won't be ecstatic about it. like.

i keep imagining being in recovery and feeling very excited and happy but having that feeling be squished down and suppressed by their disappointed faces...or wondering how they'll awkwardly Look at me when im back home recovering and hobbling around... like even here I'll feel bad about "doing this to them" and what "went wrong" to make me so disappointing in every possible facet. even though i've fantasized about this since I knew my body was capable of Horrors, have been looking into it since high school, i've been tweeting about wanting it every other week for the past 4 years, etc.

controversial opinion but maybe they aren't a bad friend just because they don't live up to neurotypical standards of friendship and sure maybe they aren't giving you what you have come to Just Expect out of a relationship but you never even considered asking what would make them feel valued in the first place because what makes you feel valued is the 'norm' and the only 'acceptable' way to be friends so why would you even bother to check before just deciding they're a shit person who deserves to be alone

so now that there has been a spike in antisemitic hate crimes (in some areas rising over 1000%), synagogues have been vandalized, firebombed, and literally razed, jews have been assaulted in public, jewish businesses have been vandalized, jewish homes and businesses have been marked with the star of david, and a man broke into his jewish neighbor's home intending to murder the entire family for being jewish, are we gonna get an apology from the people who were mocking jews for being afraid of an increase in antisemitism after oct. 7th?

(this is, of course, a rhetorical question. we all know that those people never cared about jews.)

i super extra don't want to get involved in mdzs discourse, but i did see a post in the jc tag earlier today that was like "jc fans shouldn't pretend like jc wasn't physically abusive towards jl because why else would jl flinch away from him in this one scene it's like you guys don't even know canon" and i blocked that person bc i didn't like their tone and just moved on, but the post did bother me a bit because i was pretty sure i would have remembered a time where jc had been genuinely violent with jl. but who knows, i'm new here, i don't have a photographic memory, maybe i did forget.

except now i am watching the untamed and jin ling says basically word for word "my uncle's never hit me, he's all talk." and ik drama canon is not book canon, but i'm pretty sure in book canon one of the things people constantly say about jiang cheng is that, when it comes to his loved ones, he's all bark and no bite. (wwx being the only sorta exception but even then...) idk i'm not saying jc has never done anything wrong, i'm not saying he's an uwu softie just the cuddliest of teddy bears, but like there is a swath of difference between having a bad temper and being abusive and like that's a distinction i find important and one i will keep making when dealing with jc

if you disagree with what i've said here, pls feel free to block me that's what that button is for x

Discovering that I'm on the radical side of loving Steve even among Steve lovers is a harrowing realization.

Please please please please we need a part 2 of "We can't be friends, but Id' like to just pretend"!

This was absolutely awesome and I devoured it <3 I just want the reader to finally stop doing all these actions for Spencer and try to fix things so he realizes he's been a big jerk to her ^-^

In fact, this is the first time I've ever sent you a comment (the first time I've ever sent an author a comment, to be honest), and I want you to know that ALL your writing is great and beautiful!

I'm glad you enjoyed it!! Again, I'll put it in the drafts, out in the next two weeks (no promises).

Honoured to be your first ask, I love you, sweet anon 🤍

[femurs-vectivus]

Watching all the beautiful swtor gift exchange art drop with metaphorically and literally shaking hands because I've never participated in any art exchanges or even drawn something for someone else before and I know my art looks.... a little different in comparison to all these beautiful clean pieces and it's not bad but still -🤣🥲

Damn, I remember the first time I watched FMA 03, when I was 16 or 17, I stayed up until 1 am to finish it, and today, watching episodes 38 through 42 turned me into such an emotional mess that I have to take a break lmao what happened??? My own emotional traumas, that's what happened

I'm feeling so many things again

In episode 38, when Ed and Al are fighting, Al drenches Ed in water and he says "it's going to rain!!!" and I'm like haha no don't try to pull a Mustang on me I know this episode won't make me cry and GUESS WHAT the flashback with Trisha convincing Ed to go and find Al so they can talk things out and Al looking so happy that Ed isn't upset with him anymore it's so cute I CRIED

I need -- no, I DEMAND a spin-off series where Winry and Scziezka solve murder mysteries together (I'd love to write it myself but I know I'm not nearly good enough at coming up with mystery stories lol), they're adorable I'm so happy they totally get together post CoS

Martel's death hits SO MUCH HARDER than I remembered holy shit, she and Al actually got close, we see more of her, her death is so horrific and hearing sweet sweet baby boy Alphonse cry just BROKE MY HEART I never wanted to hug an armor so badly

Scar's brother's last moments, the way he looks so terrified and desperate to protect his little brother from Kimblee and Scar being so devastated when he dies I just-- *clenches fist*

Sloth using Ed's PTSD against him that's so UNFAIR; also I was thinking that I was a bit disappointed that this anime did not include the nightmare that Ed has at some point in the manga where he sees his mom saying "why didn't you make me right" etc but this is it, this is this scene, and it's worse because he's hearing it for real, he is very much awake, he has the real voice of his mom in his ears and she's saying this to him and I'm-- *clenches fist harder*

Rose's story, I'm still so mad, she deserves all the happiness in the world

Speaking of Rose, it's so funny how the moment Al is like "I wonder how Rose is doing" the show just full on goes "Ed/Rose shipper" mode lmao, with Ed blushing while pretending not to remember her, him being so awkward when he speaks to her just before they go on their separate ways and her son just smiling and giggling when he speaks (first time we see the baby laugh, he had only been crying up until then) :') To be honest it feels a bit out of the blue to me but idk

Dante sporting Lyra's white ass in the town of brown people and speaking as if she was part of them just because she's following Rose around to manipulate her is incredibly cringe, but then again, it's Dante, she's the villain and we're already supposed to know something is up with "Lyra". But still.

Very random but Al pulling objects from or putting objects inside his armor from behind the cloth always looks very awkward lol

I used to never really care about Scar but I have learned the errors of my way as I now realize he is actually one of the best characters in this goddamn series, even with the orb of knowledge and the three arm losses, and Mangahood!Scar being much more villainized and ending up working with the military will never come even CLOSE to 03!Scar using his last bit of strength to save Alphonse to honor his love for his lost brother and take his ultimate revenge on those who murdered his people in the goal of protecting oppressed people, all of this while an epic music is playing (honestly it even feels like Ed is made to be seen as an obstacle as he tries to prevent the soldiers from entering Liore lol)

Sorry but Wrath is annoying as hell, I know that I'll probably have a different opinion if I rewatch CoS after that, but for now I hate him

We're finally entering the "Rewrite" era of the show and I had forgotten how much it rocks (Ed's hair animation at the beginning fhjkfhkdhjk)

I only have 9 episodes left but between Lust and Sloth in the upcoming episodes I'm not even sure I'll be able to watch it all in one go lol. Still excited to see more of Winry and Scziezka and remembering how much Hohenheim is absolutely useless in this x)
