Zenitsu they will never make me hate you

joel went from “you gotta stop talking about this kid like she’s got some kind of life on front of her” to quite literally slaughtering almost the entire firefly hospital to keep her alive.

when i watched yellowjackets for the first time i had to take a few days break before watching the second ep, cause i was so freaked out by the cannibalism and the gore but SO intrigued by the story i had to keep watching

now, a year later, im talking about how the epitome of romance is when a pregnant teen cannibalizes her bestie/worstie/girlfriend’s broken off ear from her two month old frozen corpse that she keeps in the meat shed and plays M.A.S.H. with

dunno what this says about me but it definitely says something!

next up on my tbr list is ‘a touch of darkness’ - anything I ought to know before I begin?

This pride month I'd rather fuck a man than a woman

[defectivegembrain]

grew from a person who would genuinely panic upon seeing those "reblog or (insert terrible thing)" posts into someone who literally cannot bring myself to reblog a post that tells me to reblog even if it's completely benign because screw you don't tell me what to do

[disparias]

unbelievable that i was ever against trans headcanons in the first place when they actually rule. the honest truth is that i simply needed to do some soul searching and get over my internalized transphobia.

esp since like 99% of media never specifies anyone is cis so like

[roetrolls]

and why's that?

"Because I thought Redivi was gross, alright!? He was preying on her fear and it made me feel wrong."

"I've done the same fucking thing for as long as I've been alive and I fucking... I know what I am, okay? I know I'm a sadistic fucking asshole and hurting people makes me feel better about myself. You'd have to be a fucking idiot to do the shit I do and not know why you're doing it.

But there's a difference between wanting to have power over someone and just... Enjoying it when fucked up shit happens. That was fucked up shit and I didn't wanna see it."

"And it made me think about Drevin, okay? How he sat there, and watched me do the same fucking thing for sweeps, and I don't know how he wasn't... Fucking repulsed by me, alright? You happy?

I don't even feel guilty for it, I just... The thought that someone I actually liked being around must have looked at me the same way I was looking at Duxile, it fucking... I don't know.

It made me itch."

This sskk moment is really something else:

Fed up with his rudeness , Atsushi talks back to Akutagawa, hitting THAT sensitive topic for him

Atsushi just now realises he hit a sensitive nerve and he's clearly expecting a violent reaction from Akutagawa

Akutagawa doesn't lash out at Atsushi and proceeds to keep walking

Atsushi is surprised by the lack of reaction towards him and proceeds to reach for Akutagawa

Akutagawa really doesn't like to be touched, especially after being insulted

i met the physical manifestations of all my insecurities last night in a dream and they took the form of a bunch of seventh graders roasting me at a lunch table

[appreciatingtokrev]

i keep on accidentally posting stuff on my x reader writing acc instead of on here istg i nearly die every time from embarassment it’s horrible

the fact that my profile pics on both are tokrev manga panels does NOT help

[atrashgoblin]

Hey I promise I don't need any more character development. I'm okay with going on an epic quest now. I swear I have enough personality and trauma jokes

WHat are you doing with that piece of my life that I like

[maplewozapi]

I genuinely feel like I’m going insane sometimes

[googlekromer]

y'know the more i think about my teenage years (especially 2019-2023) i realise that i was just a major fucking loser but not in the way i am now where i'm at peace with my loserness no like 2020 medoh doomscrolled on tiktok so much they burnt out and was constantly stressed out, which i now attribute to undiagnosed but very apparent autism/neurodiversity

and i'm fairly certain i subscribed to the idea that if you even dare take a break from the horrors and bad things in the world you are a bad person and the "if people don't 100% agree with you even if they're not being bigoted they're a bad person and you must leave them" way of thinking too. and i was deep in the danganronpa trenches and we all know how that turned out 💀💀

pandemic medoh was, in my own words, insufferable. it's only now, at 19 years of age, do i realise it's ok to take breaks from things, and to curate your space to what you want to see. nowadays my activism is focused on how we can make things better rather than just plain doomerism. i reblog actual calls to action and things people can do. you can still care about certain things, and you shouldn't let anyone guilt trip you into burning yourself out. it's all about balance.

and i've learned to pick my battles and just live and let live

so to summarise: current medoh is a loser (affectionate), pandemic medoh was a loser (derogatory). thank you for coming to my talk, refreshments are in the lobby
