Dying In Peace Theory

Just had a thought, and it's crazy that it never occurred to me before because I am pretty sure that I had every idea dancing around it but-

(warning: mention of svicide)

What if Cheng Xiaoshi, the original one from the very first timeline actually killed himself? But not because what we know happens to him and the PTSD from the earthquake arc, but because, in this timeline, he was alone and his parents revealed to be dead from the beginning.

It is my headcanon that Lu Guang was not originally part of his life, not like this, not from such an early point in time.

I talked about the implicit rules dictated in season one (meta coming by the end of September) regarding what is allowed or not for time agents, how the timeline reacts to changes, the purpose of this business. One very explicit point comes on the most wrecking dive: they don't do this to save or change lives but to help people to find peace of mind. The special episode echoes this idea by revealing that the clients are already married and had a life together. The endgame isn't meant to be changed.

Apply this universal truth to Cheng Xiaoshi now. Lu Guang didn't mean to save him at first, I think. I truly believe he meant to make Cheng Xiaoshi feel better, to make his life meaningful and was ready to accept whatever end is supposed to be his.

That's why he indulges Cheng Xiaoshi when it comes to the most ridiculous things! He dances and sings along with Qiao Ling and him, he does photoshoots and feels absolute dread and shame doing it, he wears the clothes the guy chooses for him. Let's be fair, Lu Guang is Cheng Xiaoshi's cute doll lmao (affectionate).

All boyfriends jokes aside, it could be the actual reason behind Lu Guang's willingness to put up with Cheng Xiaoshi's antics.

Somehow, Cheng Xiaoshi still died but it was not his own decision. He was killed or died in an accident. Lu Guang took things in his own hands and decided fuck it that's not fair, he wanted to live this time.

One thing leading to another, here we are:

Angry kitty ready to break timelines and villains to save his boo.

[yonemurishiroku]

(tags via @smartichokes) In light of new addition to my Luke & Nico replacement post, I have so much to say about this.

Firstly, there is a fanfic in which Kronos switched to Nico as his host halfway through the series. I said fic, Nico went to Tartarus wayyyyy sooner than he should (which is sometime right after TTC I think?), and got captured by Kronos' force. The Titan considered seizing him, so Luke left the Titan Army and returned to the light side.

With that being said, the Nico in said fic didn't become the host, as Luke (and Ethan) got him out before the taking-over.

In another fic, which is about Nico's apotheosis, It is established that Kronos has been taunting Hades to become his host since he is his eldest child, and as a result, Nico would suffer the same fate should he become a God. Nico didn't, of course, but we can see that he can be a great candidate for the position of Kronos’ host Due to the potential he possesses as a child of Hades. I have talked so much about how powerful he is so I suppose this goes without saying.

On the other hand, the child of the prophecy was supposed to be the son of an eldest god, so let's imagine: Nico is a child of an elder god and now is basically One of the main factors that dictate their fate being the central of Kronos' power. Can you imagine the thrill of having both the antagonist and the protagonist a child of the big three, knowing both of them have the power to change the flow of the story? Nico might as well be the child of the prophecy and now he is in the hands of the big bad villain? Who is to say he wouldn't choose to raze the Olympic to the ground? Please, I cannot be the only one seeing the thrill of second-guessing yourself and watching Percy second-guessing himself, page by page.

Back to our AU.

- Absolutely invested in Nico with Kronos' golden eyes.

- Idk if you have noticed, but there are a number of people who would very much be delighted to see Nico joining the Titan Army - so that's a plus. Though we haven't thought as far as putting him directly in Luke's place, this is such a fun territory to play with.

On the other hand, we should have thought about that lmao what's with Minos having done exactly like this in the canon. The King did manipulate Nico in order to accelerate his uprising (tho Rick wasn't unhinged enough to give the Underworld ghosts the benefit of possessing living things except for the eidolons).

Minos failed ofc. But surely the scenario is there. Furthermore, a big reason that hindered Minos was Nico's true control over him, which returned to him upon his enlightenment, thus breaking the fake power balance. But Nico didn't have any control over Kronos. Once he's in, there's no way out. Kronos is on another level compared to Minos. Luke had one way out and that was his death. Who to say the arms of Hades wouldn't be Nico's ending should he succumb to Kronos anw.

- I like the way you mention Percy - because as it turns out, Nico can perfectly mirror Luke regarding how Percy's fatal flaw is portrayed.

Percy's fatal flaw can be summed up in one sentence - "You would sacrifice the world to save a friend". Now, for Luke, it was thanks to the guy's friendly facade at the start that Percy had trouble deeming him as the enemy at first. For Nico, that's a little different. It's not friendship - bc surely Percy didn't consider 'friend' at that time. So what could it be?

The guilt. And the Loyalty from which it sprouted.

But loyalty to what?

To Bianca's promise.

And this varies between perspectives, but I suspect this can be much, much worse than what transpired with Luke if you know how to play it right. Why? Because it weighs on Percy's kindness, his conscience, his loyalty, his morals. It feels heavier. For Luke, it was a personal betrayal. For Nico, it would be a repeated failure that resulted in two deaths.

And I doubt Percy is fond of failures and deaths.

Do you know the saying that we tend to remember bad things rather than good memories? That. Failures stuck with us, whilst success paled in comparison (Not to mention the vague depiction of Percy's lost self-esteem, but I digress).

For Luke, it might be easier: the guy's now an enemy, Percy just had to put him down - straight and clear. For Nico, it's a little bit different. The kid's obviously an enemy - but he's also that: a kid. Whose sister died in front of Percy, whom he blamed still. You can tell that the setup itself might make it harder for Percy to just straight-up consider Nico an enemy - because as it was, Nico could very well be a victim of Percy's broken promise. Percy is half a reason he fell into the hands of Kronos - as you've said.

And Percy isn't evil. He's a protagonist and he's kind. His morals would prevent him from seeing Nico as an enemy that must be taken out - not before trying restlessly to bring the kid back.

- Percy aside, Hades’ support - and all the little benefits gained from Nico's side quest - should also be taken into account. Without Nico, there wouldn't be the Curse of Achilles. Without Nico, there would be no undead army rushing to save them in the last minute in the last Olympian, but rather a flock of unbeatable enemies that would persist like Nico’s grief for Bianca.

I wouldn't say that guarantees their failure but you have to admit that it would make things hella more difficult for them to win this war.

So that is for the advantages. Now let's talk about the drawbacks. Because obviously things wouldn't be so fun if everything goes that smoothly. 👍

The most noticeable difference between Luke and Nico is their ages, and further, their experiences. At the time he was chosen, Luke has lived until his 17, 18 as a demigod, has seen the mythological world more than Nico ever did. He would know better how to navigate the system, which would benefit Kronos more than a clueless Nico. You can argue that Kronos can properly train him as Minos did, but the fact remains that Luke has experiences that can only be gained through living, aging, and seeing.

On the same topic, after losing his sister, Nico was just a rage-driven, angry, lost 11-12-year-old kid. He could barely take care of himself. He obviously cannot govern and command an entire army. Luke, on the other hand, has many skills required to be a leader. I have talked about this once. He has the tongue, he has his charms, he's manipulative enough. As a tool and a weapon, Luke proves to be a better choice to be the pioneer of Kronos' revolution.

Of course, unless you need a puppet, in which case Nico proves to be a better choice. He was naive .he didn't know better. Luke try to resist because he saw how devastating his actions were/ would be. It should be much easier to fool a kid like Nico rather than an adult, thus limiting the chances of rebuke. I cannot recall exactly what Kronos was trying to do though, so I'll just leave this here.

The best method is of course to keep Luke while getting Nico ready, however, it would put kronos plans back a few years and I'm not really sure the guy would be that patient provided that he has been waiting thousand years to make a come back. So we will just leave it like that.

All in all, it's fun to think about a scenario in which the one whose contribution directly leads to their victory in the original series now becomes the main antagonist, the main reason they will likely fail. Thank you @smartichokes for the delightful idea!! 🥺🥺🥺

What My 24/7 D/s Dynamic Is Like (no, it's not like that)

what up, gamers, my name is Seth

I'm a man in my 30s, and the other day, I realized that I'm in a 24/7 dynamic with my partner and dom. now, you might be wondering - and justifiably so - how I didn't know that, and you would be even more justified to be extremely skeptical of my intellectual capacity when you learn that I've been with my partner for almost three and a half years and our dynamic existed from the beginning lmao

but here's why: my 24/7 dynamic does not look like any definition or description of a 24/7 dynamic that I have ever heard or read.

whenever I heard about any kind of kink being 24/7, it was usually - but not always - in the context of total power exchange (TPE). if it wasn't a 24/7 TPE, the seemingly most important defining characteristic of a 24/7 dynamic was the emphasis on rules that one partner follows even when another is not (others are not) present. these rules could be sexual in nature or not but often or usually included both.

routine was another defining characteristic. one partner adheres to the rules or routine governing certain activities (getting up, bedtime routine, etc.) at all times. the routine wouldn't always be an everyday routine, but every time X condition applied, you do Y and Z, and the consequence of noncompliance* is punishment of some kind, whatever was decided upon by all parties. compliance was often rewarded but not always or at least not part of the established plan.

Sometimes the rules and routine could relate to domestic duties. Sometimes a person would have to keep their partner(s) updated about whether they were following the rules.

The narrative was always one of control, of restriction, of limitation. whether these themes were explicit is beside the point. you can't do this, you have to do this by or before this time, etc. It was one partner telling the other no.

And that............. is not for me. good on you if it's your jam and you're able to negotiate a scenario that hits all your buttons, but it's not for me.

I don't enjoy rules. I don't like having the specter of failure lurking in the back of my mind. I don't want to live with the anxiety that comes with the potential to disappoint someone I care about very deeply, whose opinion of me truly matters to me. I don't want to be deprived of the flexibility to dictate the rhythm of my day.

and you know what, I just don't want to be told what to do during my everyday life. I don't want someone telling me I should be punished for making choices I'm entitled to make as an adult. the idea of having my autonomy limited in any way genuinely pisses me off. there is no world in which rules between me and a partner are anything but inevitable sources of guilt, shame, fear, self loathing, and misery.

similarly, an established routine is quite frankly incompatible with my brain. there would legitimately be no point in even trying. but honestly, the real reason I hate the very idea of it is because a scenario in an interpersonal relation where there is some kind of expectation regarding how I choose to spend my time and the possibility of negative consequences for failure to comply is an inherently coercive and miserable situation to me. I know a lot of people want a little help achieving certain goals - maybe having a consistent sleep schedule or being more consistently on time for things, whatever it might be - because those kinds of things can be really hard and being accountable to someone else motivates them, and that's great for them, but that's not how it works for me. I'm independent. if I am going to do something, it is will be the result of an active choice that I have made. other people's opinions or feelings on the matter are never significant factors in my decisionmaking process. they never have been. my entire life has been a series of decisions I have made to build for myself a life worth living when the people around me wanted me to accept conditions that might have killed me if given enough time. I'm not exaggerating.

this applies not only to big decisions but also the small, everyday ones. for example, I'm trying to eat takeout only once a week. I'm sure I don't have to tell any of you that anything more than that is really expensive and most likely inconsistent with reasonable health outcomes lol

some people might get a lot of value out of coming up with an agreement with their partner to help them stick to that goal, and honestly, I can understand how that might be helpful for someone, if that's your jam.

but here's where I differ: the significance of my decision to be mindful of my money and advance my health goals is derived entirely and exclusively from the fact that I am actively choosing those things every single day to the best of my ability. that I can just as easily and without external consequence choose to get food delivered three times a week is a crucial part of the equation.

okay real talk I literally just had a revelation as I work on this post. I realized that the problem with the imposition of rules and routine intended to result in me taking care of myself is how it makes self care compulsory. I would not be doing it for myself; I would be doing it to avoid punishment, disappointment, etc.

And that's just........ not good. that is the opposite of self care. self care isn't what happens if you just check the right items (and enough of them) off a to-do list. it's not the inevitable product of doing a specific number of specific actions.

anyway, back to my point--

so, you're probably still asking exactly how it took me three and a half years to realize I'm in a 24/7 dynamic.

well, it's because we don't do any of the shit I used to associate with the idea of a 24/7 dynamic.

rules? we don't have them. we don't play with anything even remotely close to that universe, not even when we're joking around. really.

routines? nope.

tasks I am required to do? no. tasks that my partner would like it if I did? no.

punishment if I do/don't do something specific during a play session or in the course of a regular day? no. we don't even play with the language of punishment, discipline, correction, etc. we're not interested.

so, the question remains --

what does a 24/7 dynamic look like if those elements are not present?

uhh we both work full time and live in different states so... there is that. in terms of what occupies the overwhelming majority of my time and energy, from an external perspective, I am doing what I would be doing on my own. I work, I play video games, I spend time with my friends, I go to therapy.

now that I'm trying to explain it, I'm struggling to find words.

it's the way we relate to each other, the way we interact. a mutual understanding of what we have decided to build together. it's so simple and straightforward and profound in its simplicity -- ze takes care of me, I let hir take care of me.

it probably sounds like I'm getting the better end of the deal. after all, the sentence I wrote kind of makes it seem like I'm the passive beneficiary of hir love and efforts, offering nothing in return. I wouldn't be surprised if someone thought, "What's in it for hir?"

and that's the thing.

it's not an exchange. it's not a deal, it's not a bargain. there's no admission fee, no price to pay. I haven't given anything up, and ze hasn't taken anything away.

I feel like this will be incomprehensible to many people and even not qualify as kink to a few.

ze wants to take care of me. ze wants to call me sweet thing and tell me I'm a good man and a good boy, and I want hir to say those things to me. I want to be safe, I want to feel safe, and ze is safe, and with hir, who I am and what I am, my feelings, my thoughts, my fears -- it's okay. I don't have to be pleasant and sunny if I'm actually feeling grumpy. I can feel grumpy, and I can express that I'm grumpy instead of packing it all away so it doesn't kill the mood.

there's no threat of failure, no standards to conform to, no goals to achieve, no expectations to meet. we're just gentle and sweet to each other, that's all.

I'm hirs, yes, ze owns me, that's the language we have chosen to use, but it would be a mistake to try and understand our dynamic through the lens of capitalism. capitalism cannot comprehend ownership devoid of exploitation, and thus, many people would not consider this ownership. after all, capitalist ownership is about control, it's defined by the right to control and make decisions about your property, and ze doesn't make any decisions for me. so how is that ownership?

exactly.

also, 24/7 dynamics that other people have have always sounded like so much fucking work to me. what we have is so natural and easy. it's easy to be sweet and gentle with hir. ze is easy to talk to. ze is easy to trust. the hardest part of this relationship has been learning to allow myself to ask for what I want and what I need and not judging myself for daring to want or need something. actually getting and giving what I want and need is easy.

anyway. it's been a long day and my brain is tired. I just wanted to share all this so hopefully fewer people will walk around with the misconception that kink is only one specific thing or the idea that you have to give things up in order to get what you are looking for. you don't have to.

oh and by the way this shouldn't be understood or interpreted as some kind of commentary on anyone else's relationship. it's a description and explanation of my relationship and why it works for me and my partner.

*to me, compliance/noncompliance are not the same concepts as obedience/disobedience. You can comply with the rules but find ways to subvert the spirit of them if you get creative and believe in yourself.

[bayjaruchel]

okay this is gonna be super random but hypothetically, if mike (or other characters played by josh tbh) were to buy his s/o a piece of jewellery from regal rose, what do you think he’d pick? i’m having a hard time deciding and thought that might help significantly

I think that Mike would pick something simple. Like a ring or a pair of earrings. The fancier pieces make him nervous, because he's Just A Guy and isn't very good with jewelry. I found a couple things that he might choose:

Some earrings

This ring

Another ring

A necklace

He'll always notice if you're wearing the stuff that he bought you, by the way. He might not say it aloud, but it kind of makes his day.

It's ultimately up to you, though! Don't let anyone's opinion dictate what you should buy lmao

[fairytale-poll]

MOD'S CHOICE POLL

Mod's own propaganda under the cut:

Sasha as Red Riding Hood:

During submissions, I became so absolutely excited when I saw this pop up. I don't know who decided to submit it, but they unlocked some childhood memories for me. Back when I was a child, my family visited Pakistan (my parent's country of origin) for the entire summer. One day I, bored, asked for some movies to watched and my parents and uncle brought back some clearly bootlegged DVDs dubbed in Hindi/Urdu, and Bratz Kids Fairy Tales was one of them. I watched it so many times, you have no idea- I think that I might have wrecked the whole DVD with how much I watched it. (A similar thing happened later on when I obtained a clearly bootlegged copy of Bratz Fashion Pixie too but that's another, non-Red Riding Hood related story.) I wasn't surprised that it was eliminated right off the bat, but my childhood nostalgia dictated I put it here, or else I would be betraying the 7-year-old in me.

Shang, Tao, and Paotze:

Another childhood favorite of mine. This picture book has such beautiful art and I remember being very surprised by the story as a child. I found a PDF of it online to reread when the contest started and honestly it still holds up. The three sisters that are the Red Riding Hood in the story I feel are genuinely very clever. And for nothing else, look this one up solely for it's beautiful art which is just breath-taking whether you're a child or an adult!

Lamb:

Not going to lie I never played this game. My good friend who I adore submitted this to the poll and it immediately got eliminated and I just felt bad lol. But it does look cool & I trust their taste so I do think that this game is great. I want to play it but I am really bad at getting myself to play games.

Aku:

Samurai Jack is a CLASSIC and I dare you to not watch this clip and crack up. Mako was a gift of voice acting and I miss him so much. Also this episode is just pretty amusing.

Amy Lee:

My sister was actually the one to submit this and I will use her own propaganda here: "Evanescence was a voice of a generation." Honestly this song is kind of just okay, there are better Evanescence songs, but got to respect the effort they put into the music video. Who can resist to choose Amy Lee anyway?

The Path sisters:

Like many people who know this game, I know it through Izzzyzzz's two video essays on it. I didn't play the game afterwards, but I did watch some play-throughs since I don't play many games + it seemed mostly like a walking simulator anyway so I felt like I got the same effect. It is AMAZING and has so much story and analysis and I love shit like that... In particular, Scarlet, Ruby, and Rose are my favorites whose stories really resonated with me, even if I haven't exactly gone through their life experiences. Ginger too. And there's some really horrific imagery in Robin's...I would recommend everyone find a way to experience this game-- whether that's playing it, watching Izzzyzzz's videos, or finding a walk-through/analysis of it, it's worth it!

Lisette:

So this manga is sort of obscure but it is also sort of nostalgic to me. Well, nostalgic by proxy. My sister read it when I was younger and told me some details about it and for some reason it stuck with me. Like??? For no reason. It's not even that good lmao. The first chapter right off the bat is pretty edgy & handles sensitive topics very badly. But goddamn if I do not think about random elements of the story for no reason. I don't really remember shit about Lisette but hey this picture of her looks really cool.

Red:

If you notice a theme among these being "nostalgia" you would be right, as this was another nostalgic offering from my childhood that I would watch semi-annually. I was also fond of the sequel, though I thought it felt like a different series than the first one. (Which isn't unusual with animated sequels to popular movies, but the fact that the sequel was set-up by the ending of the first one implies it was planned? Weird). But anyway Red is iconic and funny and voiced by Anne Hathaway and also her sad emo song "Red is Blue" sometimes still gets stuck in my head, so take that as you will.

Chacha:

I know absolutely nothing about this series. But it looks very cute so I like it. I love cute magical girls they deserve the world. Also I looked it up and apparently the Studio who did the Akazukin Chacha anime would later do the Yu-Gi-Oh animes from the 2000s and 2010s, so there's the obligatory mention of nostalgia.

LMAO literally worry about your own health, how mentally ill do you have to be to post that preachy shit? easily the most self righteous thing ive read this week. drama over a minecraft competition will never be enough for me to think any of these people are bad people in their cores, and frankly it's extremely weird to me that anyone else does think that way, or think they really know any of these people from their streams well enough to make that kind of call. some of your faves have acted in ways that personally offended me, and tbh so have some of my own faves. fucking up and disappointing people is unfortunately the nature of being human. all these streamers are very young and very passionate about what they do. they won't always handle things correctly but i do see growth in sapnap AND the others who don't like him! (bc yes it is possible to like both, if you have any common sense at all and realize you don't know these people and there is no need to pick a side) and you talk about watching a sapnap stream as if it's snorting coke lmao like it's actively harming the viewers to watch a sapnap stream, and i would argue that is only true in cases like yours where someone is clearly only paying attention because they want another reason to be angry at someone they already dislike. so, yeah, you should quit hurting yourself by ever giving him the time of day. you aren't required to and even if you do you definitely have no right to dictate how others feel about watching him, or anyone else. grow up and stop giving sermons on what people are allowed to enjoy

drama over a minecraft competition will never be enough for me to think any of these people are bad people in their cores, and frankly it's extremely weird to me that anyone else does think that way, or think they really know any of these people from their streams well enough to make that kind of call

bro i didn't even know twitch rivals was happening until yesterday when the guy i mod for talked about all the shit happening LOL. for someone who claims i'm assuming to know a lot about complete strangers, you've essentially done the same but with me yknow

some of your faves have acted in ways that personally offended me, and tbh so have some of my own faves

i haven't been into mcyt for over two years—i pretty much only reblog fanart i like and the occassional shitpost that makes me laugh. i am not nearly into any of this as you make yourself out to be

fucking up and disappointing people is unfortunately the nature of being human

i think where i failed in my wording was using "mistakes" instead of "acting like a manchild", because that's what i was shaking my head about. mistakes happen, and i wholeheartedly agree with you that it's in our nature. but sapnap still acts immature

(bc yes it is possible to like both, if you have any common sense at all and realize you don't know these people and there is no need to pick a side)

oh i don't know him one bit, and i won't pretend to. but i still have the right to voice my opinion on the way he chooses to act in front of a camera, just like you have the right to ignore what i'm saying and continue watching him. at the end of the day i really dont care. if you feel like he's improving in a way that aligns with your own integrity, good for you man

and you talk about watching a sapnap stream as if it's snorting coke lmao like it's actively harming the viewers to watch a sapnap stream, and i would argue that is only true in cases like yours where someone is clearly only paying attention because they want another reason to be angry at someone they already dislike

are ya sure you're not projecting a little with this one

so, yeah, you should quit hurting yourself by ever giving him the time of day. you aren't required to and even if you do you definitely have no right to dictate how others feel about watching him, or anyone else. grow up and stop giving sermons on what people are allowed to enjoy

man i saw how sapnap acted, went "damn, that's unsexy", wrote about it, and moved on. woe me, i forgot that tumblr is a hornets nest of angry people. either way, this was me expressing genuine confusion in my own (misinterpreted) humor. the internet is a tough crowd these days

LMAO literally worry about your own health, how mentally ill do you have to be to post that preachy shit? easily the most self righteous thing ive read this week. grow up and stop giving sermons on what people are allowed to enjoy

i don't even have anything funny to say. my eyes rolled over halfway through reading this. it is just a minecraft competition which is why i find your ask hilarious because am i really the one who cares too much here. like really

Idia and Ortho's Backstory - Monster AU

"Monster": The Reaper, Living Puppet Word Count: ~ 0.42K ***This is different than the other ones, different kind of style as the monster types are fairly self explanatory*** Also I'm tired and a day behind so I'm copying and pasting this out of a conversation I had lmao Relationships Mentioned: the Shroud family TW: Chapter 6 spoiler ig, death --------------------------------------

What happens in terms of family is when whoever is carrying the Shroud name has a partner who is in it for the long haul, its this whole ceremony like once the Shroud is sure they would want to marry this person, basically the equivalent of one of the Fates would do a "soul reading" to ensure the two were meant for each other if that got approved, then the Shroud was welcome to "propose". HOWEVER "marriage" is more than just binding, when they get to the "altar" they can choose from new souls who have yet to receive a body - up to three- to have as children that will then be stored in separate pods until they decide they're ready to "have" kids after both say "I do" and the other partner is accepted as a Shroud, they have five to ten years where they can simply be as they are, but when they're ready for their first child, a similar ceremony is held where they open the pod and bestow the soul a body that all the Shrouds of past and present help "summon" basically, their power dictated by how many souls they've reaped. So for the first six months of his life his parents will be present, to keep their life magic pouring into his body enough until it's 100% solid and foolproof. Its around that point that they cannot support themselves anymore, and the technology they've developed will help take care of and raise their child from there as they join the fray of Shrouds "spirits" they get time to recover, and then they can keep reaping souls and if they choose, they can make another child, or just keep saving their energy for when their children are ready for their own families but the point is, Shroud kids are surrounded by the dead/spirits/souls since they were children. They weren't really allowed to meet humans/living creatures until they were 12. Obviously Ortho never made it that far. And for haha angst reasons, yes, Idia's first soul he had to reap was his own brothers and he blames himself for not watching him close enough while they were playing. However, because of Idia's unique abilities and because they're of the same soul line, he was able to contain a low powered version of his soul. While they were unable to give him an organic body, Ortho's soul possesses the puppet/Marionette body his brother made for him. However, he doesn't count as a ghost as the "possession" does not drain him. -----------------------------------------------------

headcanon & meta. hewwo everybody. I am full of Vindication and will now talk about the Dragon Force. if anything this will read more like a meta analysis than a headcanon. I will still demand legal reparations from GF if they ever touch Unova again. I also want to iterate that there will be a lot of physics and science and philosophy talk – I am by no means an expert, I just think they're neat. before I start: have you read cher's general post of the dragon force*? this is pretty much non-negotiable required reading as this is the literal foundation of all our worldbuilding and nothing about this post will make sense otherwise lmao.

The Dragon Force, as we've established, is the collective energy of life on the planet, and how all living things contribute to its overall wellbeing, and the Tao Trio are personifications of these aspects. You can imagine this as a Pokemon-world representation of the fundamental forces of nature: that despite all of these draconian laws (heh) of how the universe functions that no one will ever understand to its fullest, the miracle of life is just a very very peculiar and particular balance of these forces.

(Likewise, you can also argue that the Dragon Force is the hypothetical fifth fundamental force: quintessence, or dark energy. But how you interpret that can also depend on how you interpret Giratina or Necrozma, for example, and etc.)

Thermodynamics. Electromagnetism. Weak and Strong interaction. All of those juicy juicy physics stuff. That's why the Tao Trio are also known as the Energy Trio. But I also want to call attention to the Laws of Motion: y'know the good ol' "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." Sure sounds like Reshiram and Zekrom huh? The Dragon Force is just as much the essence of energy as it is the movement of energy. Life needs energy to sustain life, and it is that transfer of energy between living beings that creates and preserves this harmony of the natural world.

The emphasis of the laws of physics and movement are what makes this view of the life cycle distinct from Kalos' legendary Aura Trio; a different culture's interpretation of a similar concept. The Dragon Force doesn't bring nor dictate life, it is merely the driving force of that cycle and the collective input of every living being – not unlike injecting the theoretical concept of the collective unconscious into it. If every living being works together in sharing this world, life will flourish; disrupt that balance, and you disrupt the wellbeing of everyone and everything.

"What about the whole Truth vs Ideals aspect," you ask. Yes yes, Reshiram and Zekrom are meant to be "conflicting ideas" but are they really? There's nothing inherently opposing about those concepts, another case of 'it depends on how you choose to interpret it.' My canons and I joked about this in threads and posts and such before, but broadly you can instead view that they are less a conflict of ideas and more of an aspiration of a goal. They are the hope to achieve something greater. They are the determination to see that come to fruition. They represent the power to achieve your dreams. Truth and Ideals are just different and convenient ways of saying that. (insert Undertale joke of your choosing)

im sorry but i find taehyungs charcter so freaking annoying and hypocritical.

first of all, that’s your brother how come you don’t know anything about his likes or dislikes? why push him or pressure him into dating just because YOU think that’s what makes him happy without asking him first or have a conversation about it? that’s so manipulative on so many levels. LOL. also him knowing that oc has still feelings for jungkook but still chooses to act ignorant and wants her for herself is also beyond me like who are you to be so jealous about when there’s no relationship? just because someone has feelings for another person doesn’t mean they can make a claim. no im sorry but his character and the character of jimin is so careless to me? like you have your brother that’s younger than you, who tries his best with his studies because apparently your family is so fucked up and can’t accept him without being this good studen in school, put his own misery always back meaning that he never opens up and he’s this big brother who watches out for jungkook? what exactly has taehyung done till this day where we actually can proudly say „you know what that’s a good brother“ ??? nothing. don’t get me started on jungkook, dating a person because one woman who loves you said you can become friends is not the same as becoming a whole new person. that doesn’t make sense. also why let yourself get pressure into dating her just because your own brother keeps saying that you’re more „out going“ i would never let anyone dictate my life around them just because they don’t like it or bring another person down (even if she’s annoying ass fuck) why make her believe that you like her? man im annoyed as hell if you can’t tell 😂

ive been missing these kinds of messages so badly LMAO rant all u want anon 😭😭

[anarchistbitch]

well it's not like according to tradition I replied in a timely manner lmao dont worry about it

sfjkfjsdk me too, i dont usually make playlists, i just leave everything in my liked and shuffle it and let it be what the universe dictates but idk i felt like getting them into one playlist

well if you add pepa pig id burst out laughing in the middle of a call probably and one of my work friends would probably shout "send her to sleep" bc thats what we say when we send clients back bc we cant do anything from our end so it would be funny and we would just ultimately skip it lmao

im looking forward to whatever songs you add, the playlist is long as fuck already tbh so it might take a while for the oli london song to come on

SFGDSJKFGDS well in my defense I had to ask bc i didnt know how long youve been on tumblr so yeah (shiro's cloning and the episode about it and the fight with keith)

anyways i motherfucking hated that they exploded adam and then tried to console us with curtis but anywaaaaaaay the fanfic is dirty laundry which if you were in the fandom i doubt you didnt end up hearing of it or at least the discourse around it but anyway it got deleted but i had it downloaded so have a google drive link https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwU9LMiUJoN7RjFWSGZVUlJQd1U/view?

yeah, the whole not enrolling classes in uni is a mess and i try not to think about it too much rn (i am seeing a therapist and i hope that by next year i have figured out what i want to do) but i like my job, we(my team)'re actually planning to rent a house and stay there a weekend very soon to celebrate our supervisor's bday :'3

making choices that will greatly impact our futures is seriously so hard, and i also not qualified for any career advice but manifesting that whatever you choose in the end allows you to be happy

just last night it started raining hard so i got up to turn off the fan but then like two minutes later i got up to turn it on again bc even tho it was raining it is still so fucking hot, seriously hate the weather rn

god mountains are so preetty, specially when the weather is cool and they get all foggy

atsv is a masterpiece and it continues from itsv so damn well, i really do love it and i hope hollywood gets up it's ass and pays their workers what they're owed so we can see it soon

KJSDFJKSDFHJS i am still seeing so many miguel o hara edits everywhere for real, i gotta say tho im in love with hobie and pavitr

JKSHFJS i used to do something similar with fob, i had a lot of them printed out and would put them on my binder cover so that i could memorize the lyrics so i was all day everyday singing them until i memorized it and the changed it for another song

idk how id rank fob albums, its so hard when theyre soo good but i really do love so much for stardust, aside from that one i think my favs are save rock and roll and american beauty american pyscho, mania was the first album i was a fan of them when it came out so it has a special place in my heart as well

my special lyric is part time soulmates full time problem, ive always been a fan of soulmate aus and hhhhhhhh just makes my brain smooth, also we started off as shiny dimes but we got flipped too many times, we did it for futures that never came and for pasts that we're never going to change 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

cheers to us and our interesting meeting jdfshjf

[also if u wanna watch an indian series made in heaven is pretty cool(its okay-ish in terms of writing but it covers some very important social issues + the main leads are hot and dubious. what more do i need to watch a show)]

hobie kinda scratched a very specific itch in my brain like i want to be him AND kiss him , pavitr is so slay, and o'hara needs like a massage session thing where they unlock the trauma in ur knees or like a stamlo 50mg.

me & my friends fav fob lyrics was the 'how the mighty fall' cause we would do that "fall out...boi" intro everytime lol

i dont think i have a fave lyric but i think immortals was a top contender for reasons[i like big hero 6 :3]

Look me in the eye and try to tell me this: “Acting tough will not make it hurt any less, you know this, yes?” isn't utterly perfect for cowboy!Mitch 😍 Like whether it's him or reader who got hurt (and we both know they're equally foolhardy lmao)

send me a PROMPT for a 'new muse' blurb ~

Notes : it's TOO perfect for him! ugh cowboy mitch gets to meeee.

"ACTING TOUGH WILL NOT MAKE IT HURT ANY LESS, YOU KNOW THIS, YES?" | COWBOY!MITCH

Squinted amber hues were met with a quirked brow as you looked pointedly toward the man, your words provoking a loud scoff from the hoarseness that gathered in his throat. Mitch couldn't help but think utter ridiculousness of your sentiment - not that he didn't agree with its truthfulness, but rather so, he couldn't afford to fall short of his resilient and gritty character. Being the town's Deputy meant that Mitch needed to be strong, doughty, indestructible. He did have to act tough. His eyes slowly drifted down to your form as you pressed a damp cloth against his exposed side, sopping up remnants of blood that surrounded his freshly sliced wound. He winced, and you noticed.

"It's just a scratch." His voice was gravelly as he attempted to hide the pain that spiked his tone, choosing to immediately shut his mouth and grind his teeth as an alternative expression of pain. He shifted uncomfortably on the rickety barstool when you pressed further against the wound, the scraping of metal on metal echoing loudly amongst the dead atmosphere of the Saloon, only seen possible past closing time. He growled under his breath before hearing a quiet snicker, the curling lips of a smirk present between your cheeks only indicating that you did it on purpose.

"A scratch wouldn't have hurt that bad." You said, glancing up to the man when you felt his focus boring into you. Usually, he was the one possessing the over-protective trait; quick to swoop you out of harm's way and dictate the millions of consequences that would come from your rowdiness. Mitch was always there to catch you if you fell, and you even began to wonder whether he purposely followed you around just in case you found yourself in yet another troublesome situation. Regardless of his staunchness, it was incredibly endearing. "And I certainly don't think that a stab to the side counts nearly as close as a scratch, mind you. You're lucky you're alive, Deputy."

"Y/N, we've been over this-" He began, sucking in a sharp breath as you finished cleaning the open gash. He shook his head, breath releasing slowly as his voice dropped low, "You can call me Mitch."

You sounded a scoff, a resonant of puerility that was incredibly mocking "Oh, I'm well aware. But would calling you by your name get me the same reaction as it would calling you by your title? I think not." Legs pushed you upright as you gathered the red-stained rags, hands quick to ball them up as they were thrown haphazardly into an empty wooden barrel, and Mitch jested a groan at your sentiment whilst teeth sunk to his lip. Once again, you could sense the durability of his gaze meandering over your movements, watching as you continued to patch up the poor man after his unlucky confrontation with a common thief.

It was now easier to see the small smile that tugged between your cheeks as you spun on your heel toward him, a sewing needle and spool pin grasped lightly as you fiddled with them between hesitant fingers. You breathed out lightly before crouching back to Mitch's side, "What can I say, there's just something about gettin' under your skin there, that brings a little light to my days."

He was still toying at his lip; the need to release it quickly became apparent as it began to grow numb under its clamp, soon it would draw blood and he was sure you would reprimand him for yet another reddened wound. He exhaled heavily, an intent to steady his breathing as he awaited the next step of your aid and the inevitable misery to follow. It wasn't until he looked back down to your willingness to patch him up that Mitch started to settle into the stool, watching as you thread your needle, "You're a tease, darlin', ya know that? I'll have you saying my name one o' these days, maybe even screaming it if I'm lucky."

You didn't need to look at the man to know that his eye dropped into a low wink, the tone of his voice suggesting playfulness and rowdy jest. He liked to wind you up, that's why you wound him right the hell back. With a gentle head shake, you lifted your eyes until they met his caramel swirls that you've gotten to know so well, your needle now held high in the air with a threatening pose, "Keep talking sweet like that, and I'll be the one makin' you scream for all the wrong reasons, Cowboy."

It was hidden, only slightly by the angle he sat at whilst his elbow perched upon the bartop, when Mitch gulped down at the intimidation that you wore so damn well. He even thought that if he wasn't so alert in the moment, then a slight moan of appreciative attraction would've slipped so nonchalantly from him. He was quick to remain silent after that, but more so to retain concentration as he admired your quick handiwork.

"Okay-" You began, taking a deep breath to balance yourself. The skirt you wore was spread around your body as you kneeled on the ground, a near-perfect circle framing you as you mentally prepared yourself for the upcoming round of Mitch's pain. You held up a leather belt, folded over each other exactly four times before handing it to Mitch and pointing at your mouth. He immediately understood, teeth clamping around the material to prevent his future growls and screams from echoing through your night-filled sleepy town.

"Now, I'm no doctor, but I've seen this procedure more times than I could count on one hand. Do you trust me.. Mitch?"

Mitch nodded, instantly. Cheeks reddening at the use of his name, however, the leather prevented him from any further commentary. He saw your grin, and knew, just knew, that you calculated your words perfectly in time with his inability to talk.

Mitch was so incredibly taken by you.

One last draw of breath, and you smiled wider, "Let's finish patching you up."

Self Aware Genshin Impact Villain AU

I rmb talking to my younger bro abt being inside the Genshin Impact universe, and apparently he says that if he were to be isekai’d there, he would want to play as the role of the antagonist opposing the Traveller aka Aether because he really doesn’t like Aether and how the fandom portrays him lmao

That made me wonder like, we love to talk abt players being isekai’d in Genshin and interacting with their fav characters either as their God or Imposter of their God. Blah blah blah. Nah what if we have a player who wants to be villain the moment they got transported in?

Players who see how fucked up the Genshin Impact universe is, how majority of the humans and the gods are inflicting suffering upon one another, and decide to conquer Teyvat and rule it under their sole fist. In their eyes, it’s better to rule under a benevolent dictator, then have everyone running abt in chaos and suffering.

Players who just be evil for the lols. They either love being in power, dont care abt others, or dont see the people around them as actual living human beings. Selfish, essentially, but when the world is way more dangerous than your home world, you would do anything to survive and keep yourself alive. Even if it means others have to suffer.

Players who have issues of their own that they avoid or refuse to acknowledge. They have first-hand knowledge of how terrible human beings can be. The world they come from has turned them into uncaring, problematic ppl, that when they come to Teyvat, with newfound abilities as an outsider, they could care less abt the denizens there. They suffered so much at the hands of others, so why shouldnt other ppl suffer.

There’s just a lot of fics I see where player gets worshipped, seen as nice and kind, which is cool and all or where player gets treated horribly, and enact their rightful vengeance as a result, becoming a villain due to their circumstances in Teyvat.

But cmon, not everyone who isekais to Teyvat will be like that. There will be those who still view it as a game, those who choose to be selfish. Those who believe that the end justifies the means.

After all theres more than one way to make a villain.

How c!Fundy is actually "Choose people, not sides incarnate"

This is an old analysis about c!fundy that i made after doomsday about how c!Fundy is literally the embodiment of c!Ranboo's "Choose people, not sides" belief. Idk if people have already made analysis like this and I'm not really good at making things like this but Ive just decided to just put it out there anyway lol

You know how Ranboo is always on about "Choose people, not sides"?

Fundy is literally "Choosing people, not sides" incarnate, and here are my reasons as to why:

1. He has always chosen Wilbur- from the very beginning, a lot of what Fundy does is for Wilbur. When it was first established that Fundy is Wilbur's son, Wilbur made it clear that he didn't have to fight in the war because he's the first natural born citizen of Lmanberg, but Fundy fought in the war anyways and that reason is Wilbur, because he wanted Wilbur to acknowledge him, to actually see him as a man and what he can do and not just baby him and belittle him. The only times he actually went against him was during The Election, where Fundy ran his own party with Niki, and not only just because he doesn't align with any other party's ideals during that time, but also again to prove himself to his father, that he is actually capable of taking care of the nation that Wilbur made for him. The second time was when he turned into a spy under Schlatt’s reign to destroy Manberg from the inside, all of that has been his attempts to get Wilbur to finally notice him. You can argue that it made the relationship worse considering that Fundy had to publicly disown Wilbur as his father in order to keep up his facade, but it doesn't really change the fact that that was another one of Fundy’s attempt to be given the recognition he wanted from Wilbur, no matter how badly it backfired.

The only time where Fundy felt like he was betrayed by Wilbur was when he died, as seen with his confrontation with Ghostbur and his conversation with Quackity, Tubbo and Ghostbur while they were rebuilding New Lmanburg. He wasn't mad at Wilbur for blowing up L’Manburg, he wasnt mad that Wilbur didnt choose him as the new president, he wasnt mad that Wilbur ended up betraying their side, he was mad that Wilbur chose to die.

2. He was the first OG Lmanbergian to ever forgive Eret- the entirety of the Lmanbergians were betrayed by Eret inside the Final Control Room, and because of this both Wilbur and Tommy have always been hostile with Eret afterwards. Tubbo didn't really interact with them a lot during that, so i can't properly gauge how Tubbo felt about them. But Fundy was the first person to approach them again, starting with the harmless pranks that they both do to each other. Fundy was the first person that trusted them again even after Eret had been the cost of their first lives and had nearly cost Lmanberg its freedom.

Eret was also the only person that Fundy trusted enough to reveal his plan as a spy to, while Tommy and Wilbur consistently refused their help when they kept trying to redeem themself. He also trusted Eret enough as a parent figure and was ecstatic when Eret said they were going to adopt him.

This isn't really him choosing someone but its more of a way to show that Fundy doesnt care too much about a person's side and how he values his relationship with them more than their side.

3. He very nearly chose Schlatt- While he was a spy under the guise of serving Schlatt, he very nearly turned after Schlatt actually gave him acknowledgment. When he actually saw the country that Wilbur made for him nearly flourish under Schlatt’s regime, and when Schlatt actually acknowledged him for his worth and capabilities and not just babied him like what Wilbur did, he was conflicted on who to choose. On one hand, he was a spy to prove himself to his father, on the other hand, Schlatt is actually giving him the acknowledgment that he has craved for his entire life. He was so conflicted that he even dedicated an entire entry in his spy diary of how he has conflicting feelings on which is right.

Only after Schlatt proved himself to be the tyrannical dictator that he is did Fundy solidify his resolve as a spy and ultimately chose Wilbur again.

4. During Doomsday, Fundy chose Ranboo-  this conversation hurt so much, especially because Ranboo unfairly judged Fundy while Fundy was actually breaking down. Ranboo criticized him for always choosing the winning side and for being a coward when its actually the complete opposite of that. Fundy has never been a coward, he never ran at the face of danger, he never strayed from his ideals, and he is willing to go through such far lengths just to be able to prove himself of worth (i.e running against his father, burning down the flag, double crossing etc etc.) Fundy has also never chosen the winning side, again, he is the actual poster boy for "Choose people, not sides". From the very beginning he has always chosen people, and now at this situation whether he realized it or not, he chose Ranboo.

During the New Lmanberg era, when Ranboo just recently joined, he and Fundy formed a quick friendship. Starting immediately with building and ice cream business together, exploiting the various glitches that Fundy found (flying strider, fundy boat glitch), decorating for the Green Festival together and just hanging out in general. Both of them got really close during this time, something even akin to brotherhood. But that all changed after the Green Festival, after Doomsday. Because of the misunderstanding, and because both of them were not in their right minds during Doomsday, both released hurtful words hurled towards each other. But what Ranboo didnt realized when Fundy said he was teaming with him, was that Fundy chose him. After he sabotaged Lmanberg's supplies, after he just watched the chaos and destruction unfold on the land that his father gave him, Fundy ultimately chose another person, the person he was closes to at this time, which was Ranboo. I don't blame Ranboo for misconstruing what Fundy said. Both of them weren't in the right mindset at all during that time, with Fundy having a breakdown and Ranboo thinking that staying alone and individuality is the only right answer, but that doesn't really deny the fact that Fundy still chose him, Ranboo.

Note: after reading this again ive just realized that not only is c!Fundy the embodiment of c!Ranboo's belief, c!Fundy actually has the backbone to go through with it lmao. As long as you give him love and acknowledgment he's basically ride or die with you.

HEADCANON + GOJO SATORU || caring for you

request: How would Satoru react if found out that his s/o mission went absolutely awful they got badly, and that mission brought back some traumatic memories for them and he finds them on the floor having an anxiety attack?

Some angs and comfort. 

note: hello love! originally i wanted to answer it like an ask, but after writing a bit i feel like this might be the better option lmao? i was already half way through when i realised it was going to be long - so might as well do this hehe~ but i enjoyed this idea a lot tbh cx it was fun and a somewhat soft thing to write for gojo

pronouns: them/they 

if there is anyone who knows how traumatising this profession can be, it would be your boyfriend - the great gojo satoru 

sometimes he knows that missions can really demand a lot out of you, and sometimes it forces you into situations that might end up worsening your already declining mental health

so one day when he came home to your shared home and spotted your shoes, he felt the fatigue of the day slowly wash off - it looks like you two might have a nice evening to yourselves

“baby~ i’m home!” he’d call out as he takes his shoes off at the genkan, tilting his head curiously when he heard no response from you. usually you’d walk towards the hallway and greet him with a smile. so your silence was concerning. “baby?”

curiously this slipper clad feet walked deeper into your shared home, starting to look around for any traces of you in your home; only to pause when he heard what sounded like chocked sobs coming from the bedroom

he’d walk in and spot you crying your eyes off on your shared bed, and immediately he’d walk towards you but kept his movements soft and quiet

he’d make sure to rest his hand against your arm and trace it along your arm carefully, making you know that he’s here with you, letting you be the one to reach out for him

when you do, he’d immediately wrap you up in his arms and hold you close, just rubbing along your back and mumbling soft words of reassurance and love to you

he knows better than to pray into your business, or to force you to talk when you don’t want to - so he’d just hold you close, reassuring you that he’s here for you when you’re ready to talk to someone

he’d cup your face in his hands and wipe your tears and snot away with a loving smile, reassuring you that he doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty whenever it comes to you

eventually he’d help you wipe your face clean, carefully cupping your face in his hands and rubbing soft circles behind your ears with his warm fingers; a soft smile resting on his face

“want me to run your a warm bath, baby?” he asks you quietly, smiling when you just sniffle and nods at him before he picks you up again and presses a soft kiss to your head

lets you cling onto him the entire time he prepares the bath, one arm wrapped around you while the other checks the temperature of the water before he helps you undress and sets you in the bath 

quietly sits on the ledge of the tub, letting you rest your head on his leg whilst his fingers return to your hair quietly; the smell of lavender filling the bathroom slowly. “wanna talk about what happened today?”

he’d listen to everything you say as he slowly starts to wash your body, pressing soft kisses along your skin and shushing you softly whenever you choke up once more; reassuring you that you don’t have describe every detail if you don’t want to

he doesn’t really ask for detail, he just wants you to talk about it so that you’re not bottling it all up on the inside for later; quietly asking a few questions when he realises you’re stumped, making a few comments here and there so you’d let out a soft giggle or two

eventually he’ll help you out of the bath and put you in some of his clothes, knowing that you find comfort in his scent and whenever you’re wrapped up in his clothes

probably order in some takeout from your favourite restaurant in town, since he can’t cook for shit and might burn the kitchen if he tries

he’d just wrap you up in his arms and sit him in his lap, running his fingers through your hair quietly while he tells you about everything that happened in his day

if you convince him enough with your puppy eyes he might sing for you quietly, trying to act bashful when you know damn well he finds it quite an ego booster at the idea that you find his singing nice

when the food arrives, he wouldn’t touch his meal first - he’d focus on feeding you first before he touches his food

“come on baby, say ah~” he’d coo quietly as he held out a spoonful of rice and spicy mapo tofu, a hand cupping underneath the spoon whilst he waited for you to eat the spoonful of food

after the food was cleared and the takeaway boxes tossed into recycling, he’d lead you to the bathroom to wash up; helping you do your skincare routine and brushing your teeth as you sit on the countertop with him between your legs

not like that ya nasties

once you’re done he’d do his own, making a few jokes here and there until you’re probably clutching your stomach in laughter while he watches you with a loving smile on his face

once you two are done he’d carry you to the bedroom and turn off the lights in the room, or leave a warm nightlight on in your the room so you two aren’t in complete darkness

he’d wrap his arms around you, pressing loving kisses along your face, neither of you talking if you don’t want to whilst he just holds you against him

other times you two can be talking late into the night, just holding onto each other while talking about everything and anything that comes into mind 

most times he’d write in for both of you, taking a day off from work and turning off his phone so no one can disturb him - tomorrow will be a day that you dictate and you choose what you two will do

out of everyone he knows how much pain and suffering sorcerers are put through on the regular, so he doesn’t blame you for crashing on him from time to time; for the emotions that just get to you and tear another wound open 

he’d just offer comfort to the best of his abilities, always making sure that you know you’re loved even though you feel like you’ve failed. he’d always remind you how strong you are, and that sometimes the world just works against you. but he will be there to pick up all the pieces and put you back together; because at the end of the day, as long as he has you to return to, he can find the will to wake up the next day
